Port and starboard
Port and starboard - wikipedia Port and starboard Jump to : navigation , search Image from the Bayeux Tapestry showing a longship with a steering oar on the starboard side Diagram showing the schematic view of a ship 's position lights . Port and starboard are nautical and aeronautical terms for left and right , respectively . Port is the left - hand side of a vessel or aircraft , facing forward . Starboard is the right - hand side , facing forward . Since port and starboard never change , they are unambiguous references that are not relative to the observer . The term starboard derives from the Old English steorbord , meaning the side on which the ship is steered . Before ships had rudders on their centrelines , they were steered with a steering oar at the stern of the ship and , because more people are right - handed , on the right - hand side of it . Since the steering oar was on the right side of the boat , it would tie up at the wharf on the other side . Hence the left side was called port . Formerly , larboard was used instead of port . This is from Middle - English ladebord and the term lade is related to the modern load . Larboard sounds similar to starboard and in 1844 the Royal Navy ordered that port be used instead . The United States Navy followed suit in 1846 . Larboard continued to be used well into the 1850s by whalers . The navigational treaty convention , the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea -- for instance , as appears in the Merchant Shipping ( Distress Signals and Prevention of Collisions ) Regulations of 1996 ( and comparable US documents from the US Coast Guard ) , -- sets forth requirements for maritime vessels to avoid collisions , whether by sail or powered , and whether a vessel is overtaking , approaching head - on , or crossing . To set forth these navigational rules , the terms starboard and port are absolutely essential , and to aid in in situ decision - making , the two sides of each vessel are marked , dusk to dawn , by navigation lights , the vessel 's starboard side by green and its port side by red . Aircraft are lit in the same way . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Grape , Wolfgang ( 1994 ) . The Bayeux Tapestry : Monument to a Norman Triumph . Art and Design Series .

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 . Years later , in the village 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 treat 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 cornered by 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 realises 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 herb - wife 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 will 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 .

Stephen Merchant also appeared in the film as Monsieur Toilette , a servant who was turned into a toilet . This character was cut from the film , but is featured in the deleted scenes . 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 . Watson 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 , who 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 .

Disney released the final trailer on January 30 , 2017 . Home Media ( edit ) Beauty and the Beast was released on Blu - ray , DVD and Digital HD on June 6 , 2017 . The film debuted at No. 1 on the NPD VideoScan overall disc sales chart , with all other titles in the top 20 , collectively , selling only 40 % as many units as Beauty and the Beast . The movie regained the top spot on the national home video sales charts during its third week of release . The movie became available on Netflix on September 19 , 2017 . 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 294 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 sensed that 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 . 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 .

Dwayne often uses unlawful means to get his job done , and has an eye for the ladies , sometimes getting distracted , even by his senior DS Florence Cassell . He is the go - to man for any investigations into the shadier aspects of Saint Marie . It is revealed he has a sister , who locked him in a trunk for three hours when he was five years old ; this led to Dwayne developing a secret fear of the dark .

It was revealed in episode 3.3 that Judge Ann Stone ( Josette Simon ) put him in jail for a day over parking fines . Initially more apparently focused on political implications over individuals , such as being angered at Poole when a suspect was stabbed in the back while in Poole 's custody because of the implications for public perception , he has shown signs of softening over time , such as allowing an incident where Officer Meyers told a journalist that the commissioner blundered around like an old goat to be dismissed as a significant misquote , and warmly welcomed new D.I.

While still just officially on holiday , Mooney assists the team in resolving a re-opened investigation into the death of a newspaper editor eight years ago , subsequently exposing those responsible for murdering one of the candidates in the recent mayoral election .

It explores several of the themes of Little Britain from Walliams ' own life on an emotional level , such as the camp humour of cross-dressing and effeminacy . The story recounts a neglected 12 - year - old boy called Dennis ' search for a female role model , his friendship with the popular girl in school , and the ways in which relationships develop along gender lines . The story has a strong resonance with Anne Fine 's 1989 book Bill 's New Frock . It was announced that this book will be adapted into a film for Christmas 2014 . In November 2009 came Mr Stink , again illustrated by Quentin Blake , about a 12 - year - old girl who meets a tramp and helps look after him . She keeps him hidden from her family . The book consists of 26 illustrated chapters full of jokes . It is aimed at teenagers and children over 9 . It was the last of Walliams books to be illustrated by Quentin Blake . The book was awarded the Children 's Award in the inaugural People 's Book Prize in 2010 , and was made into a 60 - minute film , which premiered on BBC One on 23 December 2012 . On 28 October 2010 Walliams published his third book Billionaire Boy , illustrated by Tony Ross . telling the story of Joe Spud , the richest 12 - year - old in the country . Joe 's father is a famous inventor , and his wealth means that Joe has everything he could ever want : his own bowling alley , cinema and a trained orangutan who serves as his butler , but there is just one thing he really needs : a friend . The book included a ' billion pound note ' that was used to enter a competition to win a day as a billionaire in London . This was the first of his books to be illustrated by Tony Ross . Walliams ' fourth book , Gangsta Granny was released in October 2011 and again illustrated by Tony Ross . It tells the story of Ben who is bored every time he is made to stay at his grandma 's house as all she wants to do is to play board games and eat cabbage soup . Ben learns that she was once an international jewel thief and all her life she has wanted to steal the crown jewels . Ben is determined that they do it together . It won a Red House Children 's Book Award and was adapted to be a 70 - minute film for BBC One and shown on 26 December 2013 .

The book won the top prize in the Younger Readers category at the 2015 Red House Children 's Book Awards . His seventh children 's book , Awful Auntie , was released on 25 September 2014 . This was the story of a girl named Stella whose Auntie has moved into her house with her owl , Wagner . It is the first ( and currently only ) of Walliams ' books to not include Raj the newsagent .

Awards and Honours ( edit ) Walliams was given a special award in recognition of his sporting efforts for charity . Matt Lucas produced a documentary on the subject , entitled Little Britain 's Big Swim . On 6 November 2006 , Walliams won the Pride of Britain Award for `` The Most Influential Public Figure '' as he raised more than £ 1.5 million swimming the channel for the Sport Relief charity . Although initially tipped as a contender for the BBC 's Sports Personality of the Year poll for 2006 , Walliams failed to make the final shortlist of 10 contenders . Walliams was given a special award during the ceremony for his achievement . In July 2006 , he became Patron of ' Cardiac Risk in the Young ' .

Walliams also co-hosted the 2014 Sport Relief telethon . This time , he hosted the earlier slot between 19 : 00 -- 22 : 00 with Gary Lineker and later Davina McCall . Swimming the English Channel ( edit ) On 4 July 2006 Walliams swam the English Channel for Sport Relief . It took him 10 hours and 34 minutes to swim the 22 - mile ( 35 km ) stretch of sea , equivalent to 700 lengths of an Olympic - size swimming pool . This was wrongly reported as one of the top 50 recorded times for an unaided Channel crossing ; in reality Walliams placed 167th at the time of crossing in only the CSA listings , excluding the CSPF listings . He raised over £ 1 million in donations . Under the supervision of his trainer , he trained for nine months to prepare for the swim . The training had to coincide with Walliams and Lucas 's Little Britain Live tour , so he daily had to train for several hours before performing on stage in the evening . Walliams first swam from Lee - on - the - Solent near Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight in around two hours and also completed an eight - hour swim off the coast of Croatia before embarking on the cross-Channel attempt . Walliams has insisted that prior to his challenge he had never seriously taken part in any sport . The Bluetones ' lead singer Mark Morriss wrote a song , `` Fade In / Fade Out '' , in honour of Walliams ' achievement ; it can be found on their self - titled album , released on 9 October 2006. . Swimming the Strait of Gibraltar ( edit ) On 7 March 2008 Walliams , along with James Cracknell , swam the 12 miles ( 19 km ) Strait of Gibraltar from Spain to Morocco , again for Sport Relief . He successfully completed the swim in just over 41⁄2 hours . Cycling ( edit ) In March 2010 Walliams and a group of celebrities cycled an end - to - end journey through the UK , raising over £ 1 million for Sport Relief . Walliams suffered a serious fall when tackling the Kirkstone Pass , a thousand - foot climb in the Lake District but was able to complete the ride . 24 hour panel people ( edit ) In March 2011 Walliams undertook 24 Hour Panel People , in which he took part in back to back recordings of various panel show formats over the course of 24 hours to raise money for Comic Relief .

In the process , he saved a dog from drowning in the river . Once he had got out of the river Walliams said `` I think a bath is the only water I will be seeing for a while . '' The swim resulted in him getting giardiasis and injuring a intervertebral disc . In late 2013 , Walliams had emergency back surgery to alleviate issues caused by the swim . Personal life ( edit ) In 2008 , Walliams ' father , Peter , died of an aggressive form of liver cancer . In 2009 , Walliams began dating Dutch model Lara Stone . On 20 January 2010 , they announced their engagement . Walliams proposed to Stone in Los Angeles after her parents had given their blessing to the relationship . On 16 May 2010 , the couple were married at central London 's Claridge 's Hotel . In December 2012 , the couple announced that Stone was pregnant with their first child and on 6 May 2013 , Stone gave birth to their son , Alfred . It was reported on 4 March 2015 that , following five years of marriage , the pair had decided to try a trial separation after `` drifting apart '' . On 9 September 2015 , Walliams filed for divorce from Stone , citing `` unreasonable behaviour '' . The couple were granted a decree nisi the next day ; the marriage was formally dissolved six weeks after the date of filing . Walliams hinted at being pansexual in the book Inside Little Britain , but said he did not like to be labelled by that word . In an interview with Radio Times in 2013 , he stated : `` I think it 's all about falling in love with the person and that is overlooked , really . I hate it when people ' confess ' or ' reveal ' their sexuality and also things can change for people over the years . So it is about the person but I also think it goes beyond that . You do n't just fall in love with someone 's body , do you ? You fall in love with someone 's soul and heart and brain . '' Walliams has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder , and described his 2006 swim of the English Channel as `` some sort of redemption '' .

American game show winnings records
American game show winnings records - wikipedia American game show winnings records Jump to : navigation , search In the United States , a game show is a type of radio , television , or internet program in which contestants , television personalities or celebrities , sometimes as part of a team , play a game which involves answering trivia questions and / or solving puzzles , usually for money and / or prizes . Game shows are usually distinguishable from reality television competition shows , in which the competition consumes an entire season of episodes ; in a game show , prizes can typically be won in a single match ( in some cases , particularly in the ones that offer record - setting prizes , contestants can play multiple matches and accumulate a larger total ) . Since the genre began , many shows have offered prizes of large sums of money to contestants ; Teddy Nadler set the original monetary winnings record of $264,000 during his appearance on The $64,000 Challenge in 1957 . Nadler was not surpassed until 1980 , when Thom McKee won $312,700 on Tic - Tac - Dough . In 1999 , John Carpenter won $1,000,000 on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire , becoming the first person to win a seven - figure prize on an American game show . Since then , many players have gone on to win that amount and even surpassed it . As of 2015 , Brad Rutter is the highest - earning American game show contestant of all time , having accumulated a total of $4,555,102 . He succeeded Ken Jennings as the highest - earning contestant by virtue of his victory on May 16 , 2014 , in the Jeopardy ! Battle of the Decades tournament . Contents ( hide ) 1 Daytime game shows 2 Overall winnings record 2.1 1950s -- 1999 2.2 1999 -- 2004 : The million - dollar game show boom 2.3 2004 -- present : Jennings vs. Rutter 3 Top ten winnings list 4 References Daytime game shows ( edit ) Most daytime game show top prizes were limited to $25,000 during the 1960s and 1970s , a restriction made for both budgetary concerns and to assuage criticism from scandals that arose surrounding prime - time game shows in the 1950s . The single day record for shows in daytime television was set by Michael Larson in 1984 , who won $110,237 ( equivalent to $254,000 in 2016 ) on Press Your Luck . Larson achieved his record by memorizing the show 's board patterns . He repeatedly hit the board 's squares that awarded contestants money and an additional spin . That spin would in turn replace the spin he had just used , effectively allowing him to spin the board in the second round as long as wanted . Because of this , his game had to be split into two episodes ( which aired June 8 and June 11 , 1984 ) , as his turn caused the game to go well over the show 's half - hour allotted time . In 2003 , Game Show Network produced a documentary about the event . In 2006 , Larson was succeeded by Vickyann Chrobak - Sadowski , who set the record by winning $147,517 on the 35th season premiere of The Price Is Right in 2006 . Chrobak - Sadowski 's record was later broken by Sheree Heil from her appearance on The Price Is Right in 2013 . She won $170,345 in cash and prizes on the episode that aired December 30 , 2013 , including an Audi R8 won in the pricing game `` Gas Money '' , $10,000 cash , and Prada shoes . On the October 28 , 2016 episode of The Price Is Right , which aired during Big Money Week , Christen Freeman won $210,000 in cash during a playing of Cliff Hangers . During the episode , game rules were modified to offer a top prize of $250,000 , which was reduced by $10,000 for every step the mountain climber took . In addition to her One Bid prize and an additional $1,000 won during the Showcase Showdown , Freeman 's grand total was $212,879 , setting a new daytime record . Overall winnings record ( edit ) 1950s -- 1999 ( edit ) Twenty One host Jack Barry ( center ) with contestant Charles Van Doren ( right ) and fellow contestant Vivienne Nearing ( left ) While the 1950s had multiple big winners ( Herb Stempel and Charles Van Doren of Twenty One being two of the most notable ) , Teddy Nadler set the overall record during the 1956 -- 57 television season , who set a record that would stand for the next two decades by winning $264,000 ( equivalent to $2,326,000 in 2016 ) on The $64,000 Challenge . The quiz show scandals of 1958 and 1959 prompted the cancellation of most of the big - budget game shows and the imposition of strict limits on prize amounts , which meant that through the 1960s and 1970s , game show contestants could not match their 1950s counterparts . It was not until 1980 that Nadler 's record fell . During the summer of that year , a U.S. Naval officer named Thom McKee began a run on Tic - Tac - Dough that carried over into the following season . Since champions on Tic Tac Dough played until they were defeated , and games on the show could end in ties with the pot carrying over , McKee was able to keep building his total as long as he kept playing and winning . McKee won $312,700 ( equivalent to $909,000 in 2016 ) in cash and prizes in 43 games , which included eight cars ( on Tic Tac Dough and its sister show , The Joker 's Wild , a contestant automatically won a car after every fifth game they won ) . While McKee was the biggest solo winner until 1999 , nine couples on The $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime won the show 's top prize of $1,000,000 ( equivalent to $2,108,000 in 2016 ) , in a combination of prizes and a long - term annuity , during the show 's run in syndication from January 1986 to September 1987 . However , this program had no solo players . 1999 -- 2004 : the Million - Dollar game show boom ( edit ) In 1999 , McKee was passed by Michael Shutterly , who was the biggest winner in the first airing of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in the United States . Shutterly was the first contestant on the show to get to the 15th and final question , but elected to walk instead with $500,000 ( equivalent to $719,000 in 2016 ) , which made him the biggest winner in American game show history at the time . Shutterly had previously won $49,200 as a 4 day champion on Jeopardy ! in 1988 , making his career winnings total $549,200 . During the second season of Millionaire in the United States , the show crowned its first million - dollar winner . On November 19 , 1999 , John Carpenter won the show 's top prize without using any lifelines , save for a phone call on the final question to tell his father he was going to win the million dollars . After Carpenter answered the final question , which concerned Richard Nixon 's appearance on Laugh - In in 1968 , host Regis Philbin proclaimed Carpenter the show 's ( and worldwide format 's ) first top prize winner . Carpenter 's record remained intact until the following year . In early 2000 , Rahim Oberholtzer , a contestant on the revival of Twenty One , won four games in his appearances on the show , along with $120,000 in the show 's `` Perfect 21 '' bonus round , for a total of $1,120,000 . For surpassing Carpenter 's mark , host Maury Povich proclaimed Oberholtzer `` the TV Game Show King . '' Late in its run , the Fox show Greed brought back some of its previous winners to try for an extra $1,000,000 . Curtis Warren , who was part of the first team to win $1,000,000 on the show ( of which his share was $400,000 , plus $10,000 for winning a terminator round ) , was one of the contestants brought back to do so on February 11 , 2000 . Warren was given a question about TV shows that had been made into movies , with eight choices ( of which he had to identify the four correct answers ) . He successfully did so , giving himself $1,410,000 and the record for the time being . Warren 's record was even shorter lived than Oberholtzer 's had been , lasting only four days . Three days before Warren 's win , David Legler , who also appeared on NBC 's Twenty One , began a run as champion on the show . Four days after Warren 's win , the run continued , with Legler having earned a grand total of $1,765,000 in six wins to surpass Warren 's record and become the third contestant in two months to top $1,000,000 on a game show . Legler held the record for well over a year . As 2000 ended and 2001 began , the producers of Millionaire decided that it had been too long ( 71 games over a five - month period ) since their top prize had been won , and instituted an accumulating jackpot which added $10,000 to the grand prize amount for each game it was not won . Kevin Olmstead claimed the top prize on April 10 , 2001 , winning a jackpot of $2,180,000 . Olmstead became the first contestant to top $2,000,000 in total winnings on a game show and supplanted Legler as the all - time leader . In 2004 , ABC launched an ultra high - stakes version of Millionaire entitled Who Wants to Be a Super Millionaire , with a $10,000,000 top prize . Two separate Super Millionaire series aired , one in February and one in May of that year . However , despite the higher stakes and the potential for someone to top the all - time record for winnings , the largest prize awarded was $1,000,000 won by Robert Essig . 2004 -- present : Jennings vs. Rutter ( edit ) Ken Jennings has held the all - time game show winnings record twice . One week after Super Millionaire came to an end , Ken Jennings of Salt Lake City , Utah , became the new champion on Jeopardy ! The episode , broadcast on June 2 , 2004 , was the first in a long winning streak for the software engineer , made possible due to a change at the beginning of that season ( the show 's twentieth on air in syndication ) , eliminating the longstanding rule limiting consecutive appearances for a champion to five . With no limit to his appearances , Jennings began to break many game show records . As his streak continued deeper into the 21st season , Jennings was inching closer and closer to Olmstead 's record . Jennings topped Olmstead 's Millionaire winnings with his 65th consecutive win , finishing the day with $45,099 and a new cumulative total of $2,197,000 . Jennings won nine more games before his streak came to an end on November 30 , 2004 . He had extended his record total to $2,520,700 at the time of his defeat , after which he was awarded an additional $2,000 for finishing in second place per Jeopardy ! rules . Shortly after Jennings ' defeat , Jeopardy ! decided to see how he would fare in tournament play . On February 9 , 2005 , the show launched its Ultimate Tournament of Champions , inviting back 144 other past champions to compete over the next three months in a five - round single - elimination tournament with a $2,000,000 grand prize . The field included the highest - winning five - time champions and winners of some previous tournaments , though not all invitees were able to participate . Jennings received a bye into the finals of the tournament , where he faced semi-final winners Jerome Vered and Brad Rutter in a three - game , cumulative total match . Vered had set a single - day scoring record during his appearance on the show in 1992 , while Rutter had won the 2001 Tournament of Champions and the 2002 Million Dollar Masters tournament and was the show 's highest - earning contestant of all - time before Jennings . In the tournament 's three - day final , Rutter defeated Jennings and Vered to win the tournament and $2,000,000 , and in the process he supplanted Jennings as the winningest all time American game show contestant . Including the $1.18 million he had won in his previous Jeopardy ! appearances ( five regular season games , a Tournament of Champions win , the Million Dollar Masters win , and three matches in the earlier rounds of the Ultimate Tournament of Champions ) , Rutter 's total stood at $3,255,102 , while Jennings was now second with $3,022,700 having gained an additional $500,000 for his second - place finish in the tournament . Jennings slowly began to chip away at Rutter 's record , first by winning $714.29 in 2006 as part of the Mob on NBC 's 1 vs. 100 . A year later , Jennings won the Grand Slam tournament on Game Show Network and the $100,000 top prize by defeating Ogi Ogas in the final round . Finally , on October 10 , 2008 , Jennings passed Rutter by winning $500,000 on Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader ? . He extended the record by winning $300,000 in The IBM Challenge , where he and Rutter took on IBM supercomputer Watson in a special 2011 Jeopardy ! event . Rutter won $200,000 in the challenge , in which both he and Jennings pledged half of their winnings to charity . He then added $100,000 more later in 2011 when he appeared on Million Dollar Mind Game , raising his total to $3,555,102 , second only to Jennings ' $3,923,414.29 . In 2014 , Jennings and Rutter were both invited to play in the Jeopardy ! Battle of the Decades , a tournament conducted by the producers of Jeopardy ! to celebrate its thirtieth season in syndication . Both men advanced to the two - day tournament final with Roger Craig filling the third position . Needing a win to reclaim his record , Rutter took the top prize in the tournament after Jennings , who needed to answer the second day 's Final Jeopardy clue correctly to win ( after making a sufficient wager ) , failed to do so . Rutter won the top prize of $1,000,000 while Jennings won the $100,000 second prize . Jennings later appeared on Millionaire in November 2014 . Winning the top prize was the only way he could have reclaimed the record from Rutter ; however , Jennings finished with only $100,000 , leaving him in second place . Jennings later appeared on the ABC prime time show 500 Questions in 2016 ; however , as he only lasted four questions , he was unable to add to his total .

who won the most money on a game show
[ "Since the genre began, many shows have offered prizes of large sums of money to contestants; Teddy Nadler set the original monetary winnings record of $264,000 during his appearance on The $64,000 Challenge in 1957. Nadler was not surpassed until 1980, when Thom McKee won $312,700 on Tic-Tac-Dough. In 1999, John Carpenter won $1,000,000 on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, becoming the first person to win a seven-figure prize on an American game show. Since then, many players have gone on to win that amount and even surpassed it. As of 2015, Brad Rutter is the highest-earning American game show contestant of all time, having accumulated a total of $4,555,102. He succeeded Ken Jennings as the highest-earning contestant by virtue of his victory on May 16, 2014, in the Jeopardy! Battle of the Decades tournament." ]

The fifth and most recent volume of the series published in 2011 , A Dance with Dragons , took Martin six years to write . He is still writing the sixth novel , The Winds of Winter . A Song of Ice and Fire takes place on the fictional continents Westeros and Essos . The point of view of each chapter in the story is a limited perspective of a range of characters growing from nine , in the first novel , to 31 characters by the fifth novel . Three main stories interweave : a dynastic war among several families for control of Westeros , the rising threat of the supernatural Others in the northernmost reaches of Westeros , and the ambition of Daenerys Targaryen , the deposed king 's exiled daughter , to assume the Iron Throne . Martin 's inspirations included the Wars of the Roses and the French historical novels The Accursed Kings by Maurice Druon . A Song of Ice and Fire received praise for its diverse portrayal of women and religion , as well as its realism . An assortment of disparate and subjective points of view confronts the reader , and the success or survival of point of view characters is never assured . Within the often morally ambiguous world of A Song of Ice and Fire , questions concerning loyalty , pride , human sexuality , piety , and the morality of violence frequently arise . As of August 2016 , the books have sold more than 70 million copies worldwide and , as of January 2017 , have been translated into 47 languages . The fourth and fifth volumes reached the top of The New York Times Best Seller lists upon their releases . Among the many derived works are several prequel novellas , a TV series , a comic book adaptation , and several card , board , and video games .

Nearly three centuries before the events of the first novel ( see backstory ) , the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros were united under the Targaryen dynasty by Aegon I and his sister wives Visenya and Rhaenys , with Aegon Targaryen becoming the first king of the whole of the continent of Westeros , save for the southerly Dorne . At the beginning of A Game of Thrones , 15 peaceful years have passed since the rebellion led by Lord Robert Baratheon that deposed and killed the last Targaryen king , Aerys II `` the Mad King '' , and proclaimed Robert king of the Seven Kingdoms , with a nine - year - long summer coming to an end . The principal story chronicles the power struggle for the Iron Throne among the great Houses of Westeros following the death of King Robert in A Game of Thrones . Robert 's heir apparent , the 13 - year - old Joffrey , is immediately proclaimed king through the machinations of his mother , Queen Cersei Lannister . When Lord Eddard `` Ned '' Stark , Robert 's closest friend and chief advisor , discovers that Joffrey and his siblings are the product of incest between Cersei and her twin brother Jaime `` The Kingslayer '' Lannister , Eddard attempts to unseat Joffrey , but is betrayed and executed for treason . In response , Robert 's brothers Stannis and Renly both lay separate claims to the throne . During this period of instability , two of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros attempt to become independent from the Iron Throne : Eddard 's eldest son Robb is proclaimed King in the North , while Lord Balon Greyjoy desires to recover the sovereignty of his region , the Iron Islands . The so - called `` War of the Five Kings '' is in full progress by the middle of the second book , A Clash of Kings . The second story takes place in the far north of Westeros , where an 8,000 - year - old wall of ice , simply called `` the Wall '' , defends the Seven Kingdoms from the Others . The Wall 's sentinels , the Sworn Brotherhood of the Night 's Watch , also protect the realm from the incursions of the `` wildlings '' or `` Free Folk '' , who are humans living north of the Wall . The Night 's Watch story is told primarily through the point of view of Jon Snow , Eddard 's bastard son . Jon follows the footsteps of his uncle Benjen Stark and joins the Watch at a young age , rising quickly through the ranks . He eventually becomes Lord Commander of the Night 's Watch . In the third volume , A Storm of Swords , the Night 's Watch storyline becomes increasingly entangled with the War of the Five Kings . The third story follows Daenerys Targaryen , daughter of Aerys , the last Targaryen king . On the continent of Essos , east of Westeros across the Narrow Sea , Daenerys is married off by her elder brother Viserys Targaryen to a powerful warlord , but slowly becomes an independent and intelligent ruler in her own right . Her rise to power is aided by the historic birth of three dragons , hatched from eggs given to her as wedding gifts . The three dragons soon become not only a symbol of her bloodline and her legitimate claim to the throne , but also devastating weapons of war .

Martin at Archipelacon in Mariehamn , 2015 . George R.R. Martin was already a successful fantasy and sci - fi author and TV writer before writing his A Song of Ice and Fire book series . Martin had published his first short story in 1971 and his first novel in 1977 . By the mid-1990s , he had won three Hugo Awards , two Nebula Awards , and other awards for his short fiction . Although his early books were well - received within the fantasy fiction community , his readership remained relatively small and Martin took on jobs as a writer in Hollywood in the mid-1980s . He worked principally on the revival of The Twilight Zone throughout 1986 and on Beauty and the Beast until 1990 , but he also developed his own TV pilots and wrote feature film scripts . He grew frustrated that his pilots and screenplays were not getting made and that TV - related production limitations like budgets and episode lengths were forcing him to cut characters and trim battle scenes . This pushed Martin back towards writing books , where he did not have to worry about compromising the size of his imagination . Admiring the works of J.R.R. Tolkien in his childhood , he wanted to write an epic fantasy , though he did not have any specific ideas . When Martin was between Hollywood projects in the summer of 1991 , he started writing a new science fiction novel called Avalon . After three chapters , he had a vivid idea of a boy seeing a man 's beheading and finding direwolves in the snow , which would eventually become the first non-prologue chapter of A Game of Thrones . Putting Avalon aside , Martin finished this chapter in a few days and grew certain that it was part of a longer story . After a few more chapters , Martin perceived his new book as a fantasy story and started making maps and genealogies . However , the writing of this book was interrupted for a few years when Martin returned to Hollywood to produce his TV series Doorways that ABC had ordered but ultimately never aired . `` The first scene ... chapter one of the first book , the chapter where they find the direwolf pups ... just came to me out of nowhere . I was ... at work on a different novel , and suddenly I saw that scene . It did n't belong in the novel I was writing , but it came to me so vividly that I had to sit down and write it , and by the time I did , it led to a second chapter , and the second chapter was the Catelyn chapter where Ned has just come back . '' -- George R.R. Martin in 2014 In 1994 , Martin gave his agent , Kirby McCauley , the first 200 pages and a two - page story projection as part of a planned trilogy with the novels A Dance with Dragons and The Winds of Winter intended to follow . When Martin had still not reached the novel 's end at 1400 manuscript pages , he felt that the series needed to be four and eventually six books long , which he imagined as two linked trilogies of one long story . Martin chose A Song of Ice and Fire as the overall series title : Martin saw the struggle of the cold Others and the fiery dragons as one possible meaning for `` Ice and Fire '' , whereas the word `` song '' had previously appeared in Martin 's book titles A Song for Lya and Songs the Dead Men Sing , stemming from his obsessions with songs . Martin also named Robert Frost 's 1920 poem `` Fire and Ice '' and cultural associations such as passion versus betrayal as possible influences for the series ' title . The revised finished manuscript for A Game of Thrones was 1088 pages long ( without the appendices ) , with the publication following in August 1996 . Wheel of Time author Robert Jordan had written a short endorsement for the cover that was influential in ensuring the book 's and hence series ' early success with fantasy readers . Blood of the Dragon , a pre-release sample novella drawn from Daenerys 's chapters , went on to win the 1997 Hugo Award for Best Novella . The 300 pages removed from the A Game of Thrones manuscript served as the opening of the second book , entitled A Clash of Kings . It was released in February 1999 in the United States , with a manuscript length ( without appendices ) of 1184 pages . A Clash of Kings was the first book of the A Song of Ice and Fire series to make the best - seller lists , reaching 13 on The New York Times Best Seller list in 1999 . After the success of The Lord of the Rings films , Martin received his first inquiries to the rights of the A Song of Ice and Fire series from various producers and filmmakers . Martin was several months late turning in the third book , A Storm of Swords . The last chapter he had written was about the `` Red Wedding '' , a pivotal scene notable for its violence ( see Themes : Violence and death ) . A Storm of Swords was 1521 pages in manuscript ( without appendices ) , causing problems for many of Martin 's publishers around the world . Bantam Books published A Storm of Swords in a single volume in the United States in November 2000 , whereas some other - language editions were divided into two , three , or even four volumes . A Storm of Swords debuted at number 12 in the New York Times bestseller list . Bridging the timeline gap ( 2000 -- 2011 ) ( edit ) After A Game of Thrones , A Clash of Kings , and A Storm of Swords , Martin originally intended to write three more books . The fourth book , tentatively titled A Dance with Dragons , was to focus on Daenerys Targaryen 's return to Westeros and the associated conflicts . Martin wanted to set this story five years after A Storm of Swords so that the younger characters could grow older and the dragons grow larger . Agreeing with his publishers early on that the new book should be shorter than A Storm of Swords , Martin set out to write the novel closer in length to A Clash of Kings . A long prologue was to establish what had happened in the meantime , initially just as one chapter of Aeron Damphair on the Iron Islands at the Kingsmoot . Since the events on the Iron Islands were to have an impact in the book and could not be told with existing POV characters , Martin eventually introduced three new viewpoints . In 2001 , Martin was still optimistic that the fourth installment might be released in the last quarter of 2002 . However , the five - year gap did not work for all characters during writing . On one hand , Martin was unsatisfied with covering the events during the gap solely through flashbacks and internal retrospection . On the other hand , it was implausible to have nothing happen for five years . After working on the book for about a year , Martin realized he needed an additional interim book , which he called A Feast for Crows . The book would pick up the story immediately after the third book , and Martin scrapped the idea of a five - year gap . The material of the written 250 - page prologue was mixed in as new viewpoint characters from Dorne and the Iron Islands . These expanded storylines and the resulting story interactions complicated the plot for Martin . The manuscript length of A Feast for Crows eventually surpassed A Storm of Swords . Martin was reluctant to make the necessary deep cuts to get the book down to publishable length , as that would have compromised the story he had in mind . Printing the book in `` microtype on onion skin paper and giving each reader a magnifying glass '' was also not an option for him . On the other hand , Martin rejected the publishers ' idea of splitting the narrative chronologically into A Feast for Crows , Parts One and Two . Being already late with the book , Martin had not even started writing all characters ' stories and also objected to ending the first book without any resolution for its many viewpoint characters as in previous books . With the characters spread out across the world , a friend suggested that Martin divide the story geographically into two volumes , of which A Feast for Crows would be the first . This approach would give Martin the room to complete his commenced story arcs as he had originally intended , which he still felt was the best approach years later . Martin moved the unfinished characters ' stories set in the east ( Essos ) and north ( Winterfell and the Wall ) into the next book , A Dance with Dragons , and left A Feast for Crows to cover the events on Westeros , King 's Landing , the Riverlands , Dorne , and the Iron Islands . Both books begin immediately after the end of A Storm of Swords , running in parallel instead of sequentially , and involve different casts of characters with only little overlap . Martin split Arya 's chapters into both books after having already moved the three other most popular characters ( Jon Snow , Tyrion , and Daenerys ) into A Dance with Dragons . Upon its release in October 2005 in the UK and November 2005 in the US , A Feast for Crows went straight to the top of The New York Times bestseller list . Among the positive reviewers was Lev Grossman of Time , who dubbed Martin `` the American Tolkien '' . However , fans and critics alike were disappointed with the story split that left the fates of several popular characters unresolved after A Storm of Swords ' cliffhanger ending . With A Dance with Dragons said to be half - finished , Martin mentioned in the epilogue of A Feast for Crows that the next volume would be released by the next year . However , planned release dates were repeatedly pushed back . Meanwhile , HBO acquired the rights to turn A Song of Ice and Fire into a dramatic series in 2007 and aired the first of ten episodes covering A Game of Thrones in April 2011 . With around 1600 pages in manuscript length , A Dance with Dragons was eventually published in July 2011 after six years of writing , longer in page count and writing time than any of the preceding four novels . The story of A Dance with Dragons catches up with and goes beyond A Feast for Crows around two - thirds into the book , but nevertheless covers less story than Martin had intended , omitting at least one planned large battle sequence and leaving several character threads ending in cliff - hangers . Martin attributed the delay mainly to his untangling `` the Meereenese knot '' , which the interviewer understood as `` making the chronology and characters mesh up as various threads converged on ( Daenerys ) '' . Martin also acknowledged spending too much time on rewriting and perfecting the story , but soundly rejected the theories of some of his critics that he had lost interest in the series or would bide his time to make more money . Planned novels and future ( edit ) Martin believes the last two volumes of the series will be big books of 1500 manuscript pages each . The sixth book will be called The Winds of Winter , taking the title of the last book of the originally planned trilogy . Displeased with the provisional title A Time for Wolves for the final volume , Martin ultimately announced A Dream of Spring as the title for the seventh book in 2006 . Martin said in March 2012 that the final two novels will take readers farther north than any of the previous books , and that the Others will appear in the book . The Winds of Winter ( edit ) Further information : The Winds of Winter The Winds of Winter will resolve the cliffhangers from A Dance with Dragons early on and `` will open with the two big battles that ( the fifth book ) was building up to , the battle in the ice and the battle ( ... ) of Slaver 's Bay . And then take it from there . '' By the middle of 2010 , Martin had already finished five chapters of The Winds of Winter from the viewpoints of Sansa Stark , Arya Stark , Arianne Martell , and Aeron Greyjoy , accumulating to around 100 completed pages . After the publication of A Dance with Dragons in 2011 , Martin announced he would return to writing in January 2012 . He spent the meantime on book tours , conventions , and continued working on his The World of Ice & Fire companion guide and a new Tales of Dunk and Egg novella . In December 2011 , Martin posted a chapter from The Winds of Winter from the viewpoint of Theon Greyjoy ; several other chapters have been made public since . Four hundred pages of the sixth novel had been written as of October 2012 , although Martin considered only 200 as `` really finished '' ; the rest needed revising . In 2011 , Martin gave three years as a realistic estimate for finishing the sixth book at a good pace , but said ultimately the book `` will be done when it 's done '' , acknowledging that his publication estimates had been too optimistic in the past . Martin did not intend to separate the characters geographically again . In 2015 there were indications that the book would be published before the sixth season of the HBO show but in early January 2016 Martin confirmed that he had not met an end - of - year deadline that he had established with his publisher for release of the book before the sixth season . He also revealed there had been a previous deadline of October 2015 that he had considered achievable in May 2015 , and that in September 2015 he had still considered the end - of - year deadline achievable . He further confirmed that some of the plot of the book might be revealed in the upcoming season of Game of Thrones . In February 2016 , Martin stated that he dropped all his editing projects except for Wild Cards , and that he would not be writing any teleplays , screenplays , short stories , introductions or forewords before delivering The Winds of Winter . In April 2018 , Martin announced in a blog post that The Winds of Winter would not be published in 2018 . During the Guadalajara International Book Fair in Mexico in early December 2016 , Martin offered the following hint as to the tone of this book : There are a lot of dark chapters right now ... I 've been telling you for 20 years that winter was coming . Winter is the time when things die , and cold and ice and darkness fill the world , so this is not going to be the happy feel - good that people may be hoping for . Some of the characters ( are ) in very dark places . A Dream of Spring ( edit ) Martin is firm about ending the series with the seventh novel `` until I decide not to be firm '' . With his stated goal of telling the story from beginning to end , he will not truncate the story to fit into an arbitrary number of volumes . He knows the ending in broad strokes as well as the future of the main characters , and will finish the series with bittersweet elements where not everyone will live happily ever after . Martin hopes to write an ending similar to The Lord of the Rings that he felt gave the story a satisfying depth and resonance . On the other hand , Martin noted the challenge to avoid a situation like the finale of the TV series Lost , which left some fans disappointed by deviating too far from their own theories and desires . In 2015 , Martin said that he was not writing A Dream of Spring together with The Winds of Winter , and in early 2016 , he said he did not believe A Dream of Spring would be published before the last season of the HBO show . In 2018 , Martin commented he had not started working on the book . Martin offered the following hint as to how the series would conclude during a Q&A at the Guadalajara International Book Fair . `` I 'm not going to tell you how I 'm going to end my book , but I suspect the overall flavor is going to be as much bittersweet as it is happy . '' TV series and other writings ( edit ) Early during the development of the TV series , Martin told major plot points to producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss . ( The New York Times reported in 2011 that , at age 62 , Martin was by all accounts in robust health . ) Martin was confident he would have published at least The Winds of Winter before the TV series overtook him . Nevertheless , there was general concern about whether Martin would be able to stay ahead of the show . As a result , head writers Benioff and Weiss learned more future plot points from Martin in 2013 to help them set up the show 's new possible seasons . This included the end stories for all the core characters . Deviations from the books ' storylines are also being considered , but a two - year show hiatus to wait for new books is not an option for them as the child actors continue to grow and the show 's popularity would wane . Martin indicated he would not permit another writer to finish the book series . On January 2 , 2016 , Martin confirmed that the sixth volume would not be published before the start of the sixth season of the HBO series . Regarding A Song of Ice and Fire as his magnum opus , Martin is certain never to write anything on this scale again and would only return to this fictional universe in the context of stand - alone novels . He prefers to write stories about characters from other A Song of Ice and Fire periods of history such as his Tales of Dunk and Egg project , instead of continuing the series directly . A possible future side project is a prequel set during Aegon 's conquest of Westeros . Martin said he would love to return to writing short stories , novellas , novelettes , and stand - alone novels from diverse genres such as science fiction , horror , fantasy , or even a murder mystery . However , he will see if his audience follows him after publishing his next project . Inspiration and writing ( edit ) Genre ( edit ) Further information : Themes in A Song of Ice and Fire George R.R. Martin believes the most profound influences to be the ones experienced in childhood . Having read H.P. Lovecraft , Robert E. Howard , Robert A. Heinlein , Eric Frank Russell , Andre Norton , Isaac Asimov , Fritz Leiber , and Mervyn Peake in his youth , Martin never categorized these authors ' literature into science fiction , fantasy , or horror and will write from any genre as a result . Martin classified A Song of Ice and Fire as `` epic fantasy '' , and specifically named Tad Williams ' high fantasy epic Memory , Sorrow , and Thorn as very influential for the writing of the series . One of his favorite authors is Jack Vance , although Martin considered the series not particularly Vancean . Martin experienced some harsh winters when living in Dubuque a few years in the 70s , and suspects these winters had an influence on his writing ; `` I think a lot of the stuff in A Game of Thrones , the snow and ice and freezing , comes from my memories of Dubuque '' . `` ( Martin 's Ice and Fire series ) was groundbreaking ( at least for me ) in all kinds of ways . Above all , the books were extremely unpredictable , especially in a genre where readers have come to expect the intensely predictable . ( ... ) A Game of Thrones was profoundly shocking when I first read it , and fundamentally changed my notions about what could be done with epic fantasy . '' -- Fantasy writer Joe Abercrombie in 2008 The medieval setting has been the traditional background for epic fantasy . However , where historical fiction leaves versed readers knowing the historical outcome , original characters may increase suspense and empathy for the readers . Yet Martin felt historical fiction , particularly when set during the Middle Ages , had an excitement , grittiness , and a realness to it that was absent in fantasy with a similar backdrop . Thus , he wanted to combine the realism of historical fiction with the magic appeal of the best fantasies , subduing magic in favor of battles and political intrigue . He also decided to avoid the conventional good versus evil setting typical for the genre , using the fight between Achilles and Hector in Homer 's Iliad , where no one stands out as either a hero or a villain , as an example of what he wants to achieve with his books . Martin is widely credited with broadening the fantasy fiction genre for adult content , including incest , paedophilia , and adultery . For The Washington Post 's Writing for The Atlantic , Amber Taylor assessed the novels as hard fantasy with vulnerable characters to which readers become emotionally attached . CNN found in 2000 that Martin 's mature descriptions were `` far more frank than those found in the works of other fantasy authors '' , although Martin assessed the fantasy genre to have become rougher - edged a decade later and that some writers ' work was going beyond the mature themes of his novels . Adam Roberts called Martin 's series the most successful and popular example of the emerging subgenre of grimdark fantasy , influencing other writers associated with that style , such as Joe Abercrombie . Writing process ( edit ) Setting out to write something on an epic scale , Martin projected to write three books of 800 manuscript pages in the very early stages of the series . His original 1990s contract specified one - year deadlines for his previous literary works , but Martin only realized later that his new books were longer and hence required more writing time . In 2000 , Martin planned to take 18 months to two years for each volume and projected the last of the planned six books to be released five or six years later . However , with A Song of Ice and Fire series evolving into the biggest and most ambitious story he has ever attempted writing , he still has two more books to write as of 2018 . Martin said he needed to be in his own office in Santa Fe , New Mexico to immerse himself in the fictional world and write . As of 2011 , Martin was still typing his fiction on a DOS computer with WordStar 4.0 software . He begins each day at 10 am with rewriting and polishing the previous day 's work , and may write all day or struggle to write anything . Excised material and previous old versions are saved to be possibly re-inserted at a later time . Martin does not consider A Song of Ice and Fire a `` series '' but a single story published in several volumes . A Song of Ice and Fire series was partly inspired by the Wars of the Roses , a series of dynastic civil wars for the throne of England . This painting by Richard Burchett portrays Edward IV demanding that his defeated enemies be taken from Tewkesbury Abbey . Martin set the A Song of Ice and Fire story in a secondary world inspired by Tolkien 's writing . Unlike Tolkien , who created entire languages , mythologies , and histories for Middle - earth long before writing The Lord of the Rings , Martin usually starts with a rough sketch of an imaginary world that he improvises into a workable fictional setting along the way . He described his writing as coming from a subconscious level in `` almost a daydreaming process '' , and his stories , which have a mythic rather than a scientific core , draw from emotion instead of rationality . Martin employs maps and a cast list topping 60 pages in the fourth volume , but keeps most information in his mind . His imagined backstory remains subject to change until published , and only the novels count as canon . Martin does not intend to publish his private notes after the series is finished . Martin drew much inspiration from actual history for the series , having several bookcases filled with medieval history for research and visiting historic European landmarks . For an American who speaks only English , the history of England proved the easiest source of medieval history for him , giving the series a British rather than a German or Spanish historic flavor . For example , Ned and Robb Stark resemble Richard , 3rd Duke of York and his son Edward IV , and Queen Cersei resembles both Margaret of Anjou and Elizabeth Woodville . Martin immersed himself in many diverse medieval topics such as clothing , food , feasting , and tournaments , to have the facts at hand if needed during writing . The series was in particular influenced by the Hundred Years ' War , the Crusades , the Albigensian Crusade , and the Wars of the Roses , although Martin refrained from making any direct adaptations . Martin was also inspired by the French historical novels The Accursed Kings by Maurice Druon , which are about the French monarchy in the 13th and 14th centuries . The story is written to follow principal landmarks with an ultimate destination , but leaves Martin room for improvisation . On occasion , improvised details significantly affected the planned story . By the fourth book , Martin kept more private notes than ever before to keep track of the many subplots , which became so detailed and sprawling by the fifth book as to be unwieldy . Martin 's editors , copy editors , and readers monitor for accidental mistakes , although some errors have slipped into publication . For instance , Martin has inconsistently referred to certain characters ' eye colors , and has described a horse as being of one sex and then another .

Beginning with nine POV characters in A Game of Thrones , the number of POV characters grows to a total of 31 in A Dance with Dragons ( see table ) . The short - lived one - time POV characters are mostly restricted to the prologue and epilogue . David Orr of The New York Times noted the story importance of `` the Starks ( good guys ) , the Targaryens ( at least one good guy , or girl ) , the Lannisters ( conniving ) , the Greyjoys ( mostly conniving ) , the Baratheons ( mixed bag ) , the Tyrells ( unclear ) and the Martells ( ditto ) , most of whom are feverishly endeavoring to advance their ambitions and ruin their enemies , preferably unto death '' . However , as Time 's Lev Grossman noted , readers `` experience the struggle for Westeros from all sides at once '' , such that `` every fight is both triumph and tragedy ( ... ) and everybody is both hero and villain at the same time '' . Modeled on The Lord of the Rings , the story of A Song of Ice and Fire begins with a tight focus on a small group ( with everyone in Winterfell , except Daenerys ) and then splits into separate stories . The storylines are to converge again , but finding the turning point in this complex series has been difficult for Martin and has slowed down his writing . Depending on the interview , Martin is said to have reached the turning point in A Dance with Dragons , or to not quite have reached it yet in the books . The series ' structure of multiple POVs and interwoven storylines was inspired by Wild Cards , a multi-authored shared universe book series edited by Martin since 1985 . As the sole author , Martin begins each new book with an outline of the chapter order and may write a few successive chapters from a single character 's viewpoint instead of working chronologically . The chapters are later rearranged to optimize character intercutting , chronology , and suspense . Influenced by his television and film scripting background , Martin tries to keep readers engrossed by ending each A Song of Ice and Fire chapter with a tense or revelational moment , a twist or a cliffhanger , similar to a TV act break . Scriptwriting has also taught him the technique of `` cutting out the fat and leaving the muscle '' , which is the final stage of completing a book , a technique that brought the page count in A Dance with Dragons down almost eighty pages . Dividing the continuous A Song of Ice and Fire story into books is much harder for Martin . Each book shall represent a phase of the journey that ends in closure for most characters . A smaller portion of characters is left with clear - cut cliffhangers to make sure readers come back for the next installment , although A Dance with Dragons had more cliffhangers than Martin originally intended . Both one - time and regular POV characters are designed to have full character arcs ending in tragedy or triumph , and are written to hold the readers ' interest and not be skipped in reading . Main characters are killed off so that the reader will not rely on the hero to come through unscathed and will instead feel the character 's fear with each page turn . The unresolved larger narrative arc encourages speculation about future story events . According to Martin , much of the key to A Song of Ice and Fire 's future lies over a dozen years in the fictional past , of which each volume reveals more . Events planned from the beginning are foreshadowed , although Martin is careful not to make the story predictable . The viewpoint characters , who serve as unreliable narrators , may clarify or provide different perspectives on past events . Therefore , what the readers believe to be true may not necessarily be true . Character development ( edit ) Main article : List of A Song of Ice and Fire characters Regarding the characters as the heart of the story , Martin planned the epic A Song of Ice and Fire to have a large cast of characters and many different settings from the beginning . A Feast for Crows has a 63 - page list of characters , with many of the thousands of characters mentioned only in passing or disappearing from view for long stretches . When Martin adds a new family to the ever - growing number of genealogies in the appendices , he devises a secret about the personality or fate of the family members . However , their backstory remains subject to change until written down in the story . Martin drew most character inspiration from history ( without directly translating historical figures ) and his own experiences , but also from the manners of his friends , acquaintances , and people of public interest . Martin aims to `` make my characters real and to make them human , characters who have good and bad , noble and selfish well - mixed in their natures '' . Jeff VanderMeer of the Los Angeles Times remarked that `` Martin 's devotion to fully inhabiting his characters , for better or worse , creates the unstoppable momentum in his novels and contains an implied criticism of Tolkien 's moral simplicity '' ( see Themes : Moral ambiguity ) . Martin deliberately ignored the writing rule of never giving two characters names starting with the same letter . Instead , character names reflect the naming systems in various European family histories , where particular names were associated with specific royal houses and where even the secondary families assigned the same names repeatedly . The story of A Song of Ice and Fire therefore has children called `` Robert '' in honor of King Robert of House Baratheon , a `` Brandon '' in every other generation of the Starks in commemoration of Brandon the Builder ( of the Wall ) , and the syllable `` Ty '' commonly occurring in given names of House Lannister . Confident that readers would pay attention , Martin distinguished people sharing a given name by adding numbers or locations to their given names ( e.g. Henry V of England ) . The family names were designed in association with ethnic groups ( see backstory ) : the First Men in the North of Westeros had very simply descriptive names like Stark and Strong , whereas the descendants of the Andal invaders in the South have more elaborate , undescriptive house names like Lannister or Arryn , and the Targaryens and Valyrians from the Eastern continent have the most exotic names with the letter Y . All characters are designed to speak with their own internal voices to capture their views of the world . The Atlantic pondered whether Martin ultimately intended the readers to sympathize with characters on both sides of the Lannister -- Stark feud long before plot developments force them to make their emotional choices . Contrary to most conventional epic fantasies , the characters of A Song of Ice and Fire are vulnerable so that , according to The Atlantic , the reader `` can not be sure that good shall triumph , which makes those instances where it does all the more exulting . '' Martin gets emotionally involved in the characters ' lives during writing , which makes the chapters with dreadful events sometimes very difficult to write . Seeing the world through the characters ' eyes requires a certain amount of empathy with them , including the villains , all of whom he has said he loves as if they were his own children . Martin found that some characters had minds of their own and took his writing in different directions . He returns to the intended story if it does not work out , but these detours sometimes prove more rewarding for him . Arya Stark , Tyrion Lannister , Jon Snow , and Daenerys Targaryen generate the most feedback from readers . Martin has stated that Tyrion is his personal favorite , as the grayest of the gray characters , with his cunning and wit making him the most fun to write . Martin has also said that Bran Stark is the hardest character to write . As the character most deeply involved in magic , Bran 's story needs to be handled carefully within the supernatural aspects of the books . Bran is also the youngest viewpoint character , and has to deal with the series ' adult themes like grief , loneliness , and anger . Martin set out to have the young characters grow up faster between chapters , but , as it was implausible for a character to take two months to respond , a finished book represents very little time passed . Martin hoped the planned five - year break would ease the situation and age the children to almost adults in terms of the Seven Kingdoms , but he later dropped the five - year gap ( see section Bridging the timeline gap ) . Themes ( edit ) Main article : Themes in A Song of Ice and Fire Although involving dragons and sorcery , A Song of Ice and Fire series de-emphasizes magic as compared to many other epic fantasy works ( emblem of J. Allen St. John 's 1905 fantasy work The Face in the Pool ) . Although modern fantasy may often embrace strangeness , A Song of Ice and Fire series is generally praised for what is perceived as a sort of medieval realism . Believing that magic should be used moderately in the epic fantasy genre , Martin set out to make the story feel more like historical fiction than contemporary fantasy , with less emphasis on magic and sorcery and more on battles , political intrigue , and the characters . Though the amount of magic has gradually increased throughout the story , the series is still to end with less overt magic than most contemporary fantasies . In Martin 's eyes , literary effective magic needs to represent strange and dangerous forces beyond human comprehension , not advanced alien technologies or formulaic spells . As such , the characters understand only the natural aspects of their world , but not the magical elements like the Others . Since Martin drew on historical sources to build the world of A Song of Ice and Fire , Damien G. Walter of The Guardian saw a strong resemblance between Westeros and England in the period of the Wars of the Roses . The Atlantic 's Adam Serwer regarded A Song of Ice and Fire as `` more a story of politics than one of heroism , a story about humanity wrestling with its baser obsessions than fulfilling its glorious potential '' , where the emergent power struggle stems from the feudal system 's repression and not from the fight between good and evil . Martin not only wanted to reflect the frictions of the medieval class structures in the novels , but also explore the consequences of the leaders ' decisions , as general goodness does not automatically make competent leaders and vice versa . A common theme in the fantasy genre is the battle between good and evil , which Martin rejects for not mirroring the real world . Attracted to gray characters , Martin instead endorses William Faulkner 's view that only the human heart in conflict with itself was worth writing about . Martin explores the questions of redemption and character change in the A Song of Ice and Fire series . The multiple viewpoint structure allows characters to be explored from many sides , such that the supposed villains can provide their viewpoint . Although fantasy comes from an imaginative realm , Martin sees an honest necessity to reflect the real world where people die sometimes ugly deaths , even beloved people . Main characters are killed off so that the reader will not expect the supposed hero to survive , and instead will feel the same tension and fear that the characters might . The novels also reflect the substantial death rates in war . The deaths of supernumerary extras or orcs have no major effect on readers , whereas a friend 's death has much more emotional impact . Martin prefers a hero 's sacrifice to say something profound about human nature . According to Martin , the fantasy genre rarely focuses on sex and sexuality , instead often treating sexuality in a juvenile way or neglecting it completely . Martin , however , considers sexuality an important driving force in human life that should not be excluded from the narrative . Providing sensory detail for an immersive experience is more important than plot advancement for Martin , who aims to let the readers experience the novels ' sex scenes , `` whether it 's a great transcendent , exciting , mind blowing sex , or whether it 's disturbing , twisted , dark sex , or disappointing perfunctory sex . '' Martin was fascinated by medieval contrasts where knights venerated their ladies with poems and wore their favors in tournaments while their armies mindlessly raped women in wartime . The non-existent concept of adolescence in the Middle Ages served as a model for Daenerys ' sexual activity at the age of 13 in the books . The novels also allude to the incestuous practices in the Ptolemaic dynasty of Ancient Egypt to keep their bloodlines pure . Martin provides a variety of female characters to explore the place of women in a patriarchal society . Writing all characters as human beings with the same basic needs , dreams , and influences , his female characters are to cover the same wide spectrum of human traits as the males . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) Science Fiction Weekly stated in 2000 that `` few would dispute that Martin 's most monumental achievement to date has been the groundbreaking A Song of Ice and Fire historical fantasy series '' , for which reviews have been `` orders of magnitude better '' than for his previous works , as Martin described to The New Yorker . In 2007 , Weird Tales magazine described the series as a `` superb fantasy saga '' that `` raised Martin to a whole new level of success '' . Shortly before the release of A Dance with Dragons in 2011 , Bill Sheehan of The Washington Post was sure that `` no work of fantasy has generated such anticipation since Harry Potter 's final duel with Voldemort '' , and Ethan Sacks of Daily News saw the series turning Martin into a darling of literary critics as well as mainstream readers , which was `` rare for a fantasy genre that 's often dismissed as garbage not fit to line the bottom of a dragon 's cage '' . Salon.com 's Andrew Leonard stated : The success is all the more remarkable because ( the series debuted ) without mass market publicity or any kind of buzz in the fantasy / SF scene . George R.R. Martin earned his following the hard way , by word of mouth , by hooking his characters into the psyche of his readers to an extent that most writers of fantasy only dream of . Publishers Weekly noted in 2000 that `` Martin may not rival Tolkien or Robert Jordan , but he ranks with such accomplished medievalists of fantasy as Poul Anderson and Gordon Dickson . '' After the fourth volume came out in 2005 , Time 's Lev Grossman considered Martin a `` major force for evolution in fantasy '' and proclaimed him `` the American Tolkien '' , explaining that , although Martin was `` ( not ) the best known of America 's straight - up fantasy writers '' at the time and would `` never win a Pulitzer or a National Book Award ... his skill as a crafter of narrative exceeds that of almost any literary novelist writing today '' . As Grossman said in 2011 , the phrase American Tolkien `` has stuck to ( Martin ) , as it was meant to '' , being picked up by the media including The New York Times ( `` He 's much better than that '' ) , the New Yorker , Entertainment Weekly ( `` an acclaim that borders on fantasy blasphemy '' ) , The Globe and Mail , and USA Today . Time magazine named Martin one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2011 , and USA Today named George R.R. Martin their Author of the Year 2011 . According to The Globe and Mail 's John Barber , Martin manages simultaneously to master and transcend the genre so that `` Critics applaud the depth of his characterizations and lack of cliché in books that are nonetheless replete with dwarves and dragons '' . Publishers Weekly gave favorable reviews to the first three A Song of Ice and Fire novels at their points of release , saying that A Game of Thrones had `` superbly developed characters , accomplished prose and sheer bloody - mindedness '' , that A Clash of Kings was `` notable particularly for the lived - in quality of ( their fictional world and ) for the comparatively modest role of magic '' , and that A Storm of Swords was one `` of the more rewarding examples of gigantism in contemporary fantasy '' . However , they found that A Feast For Crows as the fourth installment `` sorely misses its other half . The slim pickings here are tasty , but in no way satisfying . '' Their review for A Dance with Dragons repeated points of criticism for the fourth volume , and said that , although `` The new volume has a similar feel to Feast '' , `` Martin keeps it fresh by focusing on popular characters ( who were ) notably absent from the previous book . '' According to the Los Angeles Times , `` Martin 's brilliance in evoking atmosphere through description is an enduring hallmark of his fiction , the settings much more than just props on a painted stage '' , and the novels captivate readers with `` complex storylines , fascinating characters , great dialogue , perfect pacing , and the willingness to kill off even his major characters '' . CNN remarked that `` the story weaves through differing points of view in a skillful mix of observation , narration and well - crafted dialogue that illuminates both character and plot with fascinating style '' , and David Orr of The New York Times found that `` All of his hundreds of characters have grace notes of history and personality that advance a plot line . Every town has an elaborately recalled series of triumphs and troubles . '' Salon. com 's Andrew Leonard `` could n't stop reading Martin because my desire to know what was going to happen combined with my absolute inability to guess what would happen and left me helpless before his sorcery . At the end , I felt shaken and exhausted . '' The Christian Science Monitor advised reading the novels with an A Song of Ice and Fire encyclopedia at hand to `` catch all the layered , subtle hints and details that ( Martin ) leaves throughout his books . If you pay attention , you will be rewarded and questions will be answered . '' Among the most critical voices were Sam Jordison and Michael Hann , both of The Guardian . Jordison detailed his misgivings about A Game of Thrones in a 2009 review and summarized `` It 's daft . It 's unsophisticated . It 's cartoonish . And yet , I could n't stop reading ... Archaic absurdity aside , Martin 's writing is excellent . His dialogue is snappy and frequently funny . His descriptive prose is immediate and atmospheric , especially when it comes to building a sense of deliciously dark foreboding ( of the long impending winter ) . '' Hann did not consider the novels to stand out from the general fantasy genre , despite Martin 's alterations to fantasy convention , although he rediscovered his childhood 's views : That when things are , on the whole , pretty crappy ( in the real world ) , it 's a deep joy to dive headfirst into something so completely immersive , something from which there is no need to surface from hours at a time . And if that immersion involves dragons , magic , wraiths from beyond death , shapeshifting wolves and banished princes , so be it . Sales ( edit ) Sales performance of A Song of Ice and Fire series in the New York Times combined print and e-book fiction bestseller list in 2011 between the airing of the Game of Thrones pilot episode and the publication of A Dance with Dragons . The reported overall sales figures of the A Song of Ice and Fire series vary . The New Yorker said in April 2011 ( before the publication of A Dance with Dragons ) that more than 15 million A Song of Ice and Fire books had been sold worldwide , a figure repeated by The Globe and Mail in July 2011 . Reuters reported in September 2013 that the books including print , digital and audio versions have sold more than 24 million copies in North America . The Wall Street Journal reported more than six million sold copies in North America by May 2011 . USA Today reported 8.5 million copies in print and digital overall in July 2011 , and over 12 million sold copies in print in December 2011 . The series has been translated into more than 20 languages ; USA Today reported the fifth book to be translated into over 40 languages . Forbes estimated that Martin was the 12th highest - earning author worldwide in 2011 at $15 million . Martin 's publishers initially expected A Game of Thrones to be a best - seller , but the first installment did not even reach any lower positions in bestseller list . This left Martin unsurprised , as it is `` a fool 's game to think anything is going to be successful or to count on it '' . However , the book slowly won the passionate advocacy of independent booksellers and the book 's popularity grew by word of mouth . The series ' popularity skyrocketed in subsequent volumes , with the second and third volume making The New York Times Best Seller lists in 1999 and 2000 , respectively . The series gained Martin 's old writings new attention , and Martin 's American publisher Bantam Spectra was to reprint his out - of - print solo novels . The fourth installment , A Feast for Crows , was an immediate best - seller at its 2005 release , hitting number one on `` The New York Times '' hardcover fiction bestseller list November 27 , 2005 , which for a fantasy novel suggested that Martin 's books were attracting mainstream readers . The paperback edition of A Game of Thrones reached its 34th printing in 2010 , surpassing the one million mark . Before it even premiered , the TV series had boosted sales of the book series , with A Song of Ice and Fire approaching triple - digit growth in year - on - year sales . Bantam was looking forward to seeing the tie - ins boost sales further , and Martin 's British publisher Harper Voyager expected readers to rediscover their other epic fantasy literature . With a reported 4.5 million copies of the first four volumes in print in early 2011 , the four volumes re-appeared on the paperback fiction bestseller lists in the second quarter of 2011 . At its point of publication in July 2011 , A Dance with Dragons was in its sixth print with more than 650,000 hardbacks in print . It also had the highest single and first - day sales of any new fiction title published in 2011 at that point , with 170,000 hardcovers , 110,000 e-books , and 18,000 audio books reportedly sold on the first day . A Dance with Dragons reached the top of The New York Times bestseller list on July 31 , 2011 . Unlike most other big titles , the fifth volume sold more physical than digital copies early on , but nevertheless , Martin became the tenth author to sell 1 million Amazon Kindle e-books . All five volumes and the four - volume boxed set were among the top 100 best - selling books in the United States in 2011 and 2012 . The TV series has contributed significantly boosting sales of both the books and collectibles like box - sets , merchandise , and other items . The TV series also contributed in increasing the geographic coverage of the books , introducing new customers in emerging countries like India and Brazil to the book series . All this has significantly increased the overall book sales . Fandom ( edit ) Main article : A Song of Ice and Fire fandom During the 1980s and early 1990s , Martin 's novels had slowly earned him a reputation in science fiction circles , although he said to only have received a few fans ' letters a year in the pre-internet days . The publication of A Game of Thrones caused Martin 's following to grow , with fan sites springing up and a Trekkie - like society of followers evolving that meet regularly . Westeros.org , one of the main A Song of Ice and Fire fansites with about seventeen thousand registered members as of 2011 , was established in 1999 by a Swedish - based fan of Cuban - American descent , Elio M. García , Jr. , and his girlfriend ; their involvement with Martin 's work has now become semi-professional . The Brotherhood Without Banners , an unofficial fan club operating globally , was formed in 2001 . Their founders and other longtime members are among Martin 's good friends . Martin runs an official website and administers a lively blog with the assistance of Ty Franck . He also interacts with fandom by answering emails and letters , although he stated in 2005 that their sheer numbers might leave them unanswered for years . Since there are different types of conventions nowadays , he tends to go to three or four science - fiction conventions a year simply to go back to his roots and meet friends . He does not read message boards anymore , so that his writing will not be influenced by fans foreseeing twists and interpreting characters differently from what he intended . `` After all , as some of you like to point out in your emails , I am sixty years old and fat , and you do n't want me to ' pull a Robert Jordan ' on you and deny you your book . Okay , I 've got the message . You do n't want me doing anything except A Song of Ice and Fire . Ever . ( Well , maybe it 's okay if I take a leak once in a while ? ) '' -- George R.R. Martin on his blog in 2009 While Martin calls the majority of his fans `` great '' , and enjoys interacting with them , some of them turned against him because of the six years it took to release A Dance with Dragons . A movement of disaffected fans called GRRuMblers formed in 2009 , creating sites such as Finish the Book , George and Is Winter Coming ? . When fans ' vocal impatience for A Dance with Dragons peaked shortly after , Martin issued a statement called `` To My Detractors '' on his blog that received media attention . The New York Times noted that it was not uncommon for Martin to be mobbed at book signings either . The New Yorker called this `` an astonishing amount of effort to devote to denouncing the author of books one professes to love . Few contemporary authors can claim to have inspired such passion .

The third novella , titled The Mystery Knight , was first published in the 2010 anthology Warriors , and is planned to be adapted as a graphic novel as well . Martin planned to release the first three novellas as one collection in 2014 . Up to eight further Dunk and Egg installments are planned .

The hopes and aspirations of the people as well as the ideals before our nation are described in the preamble in clear words . It may be considered as the heart and soul of Constitution . The preamble can be referred to as the preface which highlights the entire Constitution . It was adopted on 26 November 1949 by the Constituent Assembly and came into effect on 26th January 1950 , secularism was included in the preamble of India on 18th March . Contents ( hide ) 1 Historic background 2 Preamble 2.1 Sovereign 2.2 Socialist 2.3 Secular 2.4 Democratic 2.5 Republic 2.6 Justice 2.7 Liberty 2.8 Equality 2.9 Fraternity 3 Amendability 3.1 Forty - second Amendment 4 References Historic background ( edit ) The preamble is based on the Objectives which was drafted and moved in the Constituent Assembly by Jawaharlal Nehru on 13 December 1946 . B.R. Ambedkar said about the preamble : It was , indeed , a way of life , which recognizes liberty , equality , and fraternity as the principles of life and which can not be divorced from each other : Liberty can not be divorced from equality ; equality can not be divorced from liberty . Nor can liberty and equality be divorced from fraternity . Without equality , liberty would produce the supremacy of the few over the many . Equality without liberty would kill individual initiative . Without fraternity , liberty and equality could not become a natural course of things . The Supreme Court of India originally stated in the BeruBari case presidential reference that the preamble is not an integral part of the Indian constitution , and therefore it is not enforceable in a court of law . However , the same court , in the 1973 Kesavananda case , overruled earlier decisions and recognised that the preamble may be used to interpret ambiguous areas of the constitution where differing interpretations present themselves . In the 1995 case of Union Government Vs LIC of India , the Supreme Court once again held that the Preamble is an integral part of the Constitution . As originally enacted the preamble described the state as a `` sovereign democratic republic '' , to which the terms `` Secular '' and `` Socialist '' were later added by the 42nd Amendment . The preamble - page , along with other pages of the original Constitution of India , was designed and decorated by the renowned painter Beohar Rammanohar Sinha of Jabalpur who was at Shantiniketan with acharya Nandalal Bose at that time . Nandalal Bose endorsed Beohar Rammanohar Sinha 's artwork without any alteration whatsoever . As such , the page bears Beohar Rammanohar Sinha 's short signature Ram in Devanagari lower - right corner . The calligraphy was done by Prem Behari Narain Raizada . Preamble ( edit ) . `` WE , THE PEOPLE OF INDIA , having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN , SOCIALIST , SECULAR , DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens : JUSTICE , social , economic and political ; LIBERTY of thought , expression , belief , faith and worship ; EQUALITY of status and of opportunity ; and to promote among them all FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation ; IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY this 26th day of November , 1949 , do HEREBY ADOPT , ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION . '' Sovereign ( edit ) Government has supreme right to make decisions on internal as well as external matters . No external power can dictate the government of India . Socialist ( edit ) Before the term was added by the 42 Amendment in 1976 , the Constitution had a socialist content in the form of certain Directive Principles of State Policy . The term socialist here means democratic socialism i.e. achievement of socialistic goals through democratic , evolutionary and non-violent means. Socialist basically means that wealth is generated socially and should be shared equally by society. Government should regulate the ownership of land and industry to reduce socio - economic inequalities . Secular ( edit ) Secular means the relationship between the government and the people which is determined according to constitution and law . By the 42 Amendment in 1976 , the term `` Secular '' was also incorporated in the Preamble . Explaining the meaning of secularism as adopted by India , Alexander Owics has written , `` Secularism is a part of the basic of the Indian Constitution and it means equal freedom and respect for all religions . Democratic ( edit ) The people of India elect their governments at l ) by a system of universal adult franchise ; popularly known as `` one man one vote '' . Every citizen of India , 18 years of age and above and not otherwise debarred by law , is entitled to vote. The word ' democratic ' not only refers to political but also to social & economic democracy . Republic ( edit ) In a republic form of government , the head of the state is an elected person and not a heredity monarch . This word denotes a government where no one holds a public power as proprietary right . As opposed to a monarchy , in which the head of state is appointed on hereditary basis for a lifetime or until he abdicates from the throne , a democratic republic is an entity in which the head of state is elected , directly or indirectly , for a fixed tenure . Justice ( edit ) India seeks to secure social , economic and political justice for its people . ( i ) Social Justice : Social Justice means the absence of socially privileged classes in the society and no discrimination against any citizen on grounds of caste , creed , colour , religion , sex or place of birth . India stands for eliminating all forms of exploitations from the society . ( ii ) Economic Justice : Economic Justice means no discrimination between man and woman on the basis of income , wealth and economic status . It stands for equitable distribution of wealth , economic equality , end of monopolistic control over means of production and distribution , decentralisation of economic resources , and securing of adequate opportunities to all for earning their living . ( iii ) Political Justice : Political Justice means equal , free and fair opportunities to the people for participation in the political process . It stands for the grant of equal political rights to all the people without any discrimination . The Constitution of India provides for a liberal democracy in which all the people have the right and freedom to participate . Liberty ( edit ) The idea of Liberty refers to the freedom on the activities of Indian nationals . This establishes that there are no unreasonable restrictions on Indian citizens in term of what they think , their manner of expressions and the way they wish to follow up their thoughts in action . This is found to be an important tool in ensuring democratic framework . However , liberty does not mean freedom to do anything , and it must be exercised within the constitutional limits. This is second provision . Equality ( edit ) This envisages that no section of the society enjoys special privileges and individuals are provided with adequate opportunities without any discrimination. All are equal in front of law . Again , there are three dimensions of Equality - Political , Economic & Civic . Fraternity ( edit ) This refers to a feeling of brotherhood and a sense of belonging with the country among its people . It embraces psychological as well as territorial dimensions of National Integration . It leaves no room for regionalism , communalism , casteism etc , which hinders the Unity of the State. The inclusion of the word `` Fraternity '' is proposed by Dr. B.R Ambedkar . The Preamble declares that fraternity has to assure two things -- the diginity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the nation . The word ' integrity ' has been added to the Preamble by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment ( 1976 ) Amendability ( edit ) In Berubari Case ( 1960 ) , The amendability & the Significance of the same came to the force . An important & very interesting question was raised relating to the powers of the Parliament to cede Indian territory to a foreign country , as an interpretation of the Article 3 . Supreme Court had held that the power of Parliament to diminish the area of a state as guaranteed in article 3 of the Constitution does not cover cession of the Indian territory to a foreign country . Hence , Indian territory can be ceded to a foreign country only by means of amendment of the Constitution under the Article 368 . Consequently , the 9th Constitutional Amendment Act , 1960 was enacted to transfer the Berubari Union to Bangladesh ( erstwhile East Pakistan ) . Supreme Court also held the view that Preamble can not be a part of the constitution but later in Kesavananda Bharati Case ( 1973 ) , the Supreme Court gave a comprehensive verdict . It said that Preamble is Part of Constitution and is subject to the amending power of the parliament as any other provisions of the Constitution , provided the basic structure of the constitution is not destroyed . It has been clarified by the Supreme Court of India that being a part of Constitution , the Preamble can be subjected to Constitutional Amendments exercised under article 368 , however , the basic structure can not be altered . Forty - second Amendment ( edit ) The preamble has been amended only once so far . On 18 December 1976 , during the Emergency in India , the Indira Gandhi government pushed through several changes in the Forty - second Amendment of the constitution . A committee under the chairmanship of Sardar Swaran Singh recommended that this amendment be enacted after being constituted to study the question of amending the constitution in the light of past experience . Through this amendment the words `` socialist '' and `` secular '' were added between the words `` Sovereign '' and `` democratic '' and the words `` unity of the Nation '' were changed to `` unity and integrity of the Nation '' .

This worries Andie , as she prefers a more hard - working outlook on life . Despite Surly 's reassurances all is well , Maury 's Nut Shop is accidentally blown up by Mole after he forgets to cut down pressure from the boiler . Andie takes the opportunity to try getting the animals back to their roots by foraging for food in Liberty Park while Surly and Buddy try to find other food - packed places , but fail each time . Defeated , he and Buddy decide to return to the park . Meanwhile , Mayor Percival J. Muldoon , the unscrupulous Mayor of Oakton City , relishes in his wealth that comes from profit - making locations across Oakton City . However , he notices Liberty Park never makes money , so he decides to turn it into an Amusement Park named Libertyland to pocket more cash . Surly and Andie discover Muldoon 's plot , and Surly convinces the animals to fight back , which they do successfully , and they manage to sabotage the construction worker 's efforts to tear down the park . That night , however , Surly 's enjoyment is short - lived when Andie attempts to convince the animals to work hard for food as he believes it can result in disappointment . When the construction workers ' foreman tells Muldoon about the animal attacks , he calls an extermination squad led by Gunther to get rid of the animals . The next day , Surly gets caught in one of Gunther 's traps , and the animals are pursued by Muldoon 's dog , Frankie , who later falls in love with Precious . Surly and Buddy head out to rescue her while Andie and the rest find a new park . While searching for Muldoon 's car , Surly and Buddy run afowl with a colony of territorial white mice led by Chinese - accented white mouse Mr. Feng . They manage to evade the mice , and find Muldoon 's mansion , where they save Precious in the room of Muldoon 's bratty daughter , Heather . Precious tells Frankie she is not interested in him , breaking his heart . Surly 's recklessness causes Muldoon to shoot Buddy , who falls off a balcony to the street below , and into a coma . Meanwhile , Andie , Jimmy , Johnny , and Jamie find what seems to be a suitable park , but it turns out to be a golf course that almost gets them killed . A doleful Surly returns with Precious and an unconscious Buddy , reuniting with the others in the ruined remains of the nut shop .

He prepares to leave for San Francisco , believing that the frontier offers nothing for him . Meanwhile , infamous outlaw Clinch Leatherwood ( Liam Neeson ) robs and kills an old prospector ( Matt Clark ) for a gold nugget . He orders his right - hand man Lewis ( Evan Jones ) to escort his wife Anna ( Charlize Theron ) to Old Stump to lie low while he continues his banditry . Lewis and Anna arrive in Old Stump under the guise of two siblings intending to build a farm , but Lewis is arrested after shooting the Pastor 's ( John Aylward ) son ( Dylan Kenin ) in a saloon . During the ensuing fight , Albert saves Anna from being crushed to death by two of the brawlers , and the two become close friends . They attend a county fair where Louise 's new boyfriend , the haughty Foy ( Neil Patrick Harris ) , challenges Albert to a shooting contest . Albert is defeated , but Anna steps in and defeats Foy . Foy mocks Albert , who angrily challenges Foy to a duel in a week 's time . Anna then spends the week teaching Albert how to shoot . During a barn dance the night before the duel , Anna slips Foy a Mickey . After leaving the dance , Albert and Anna kiss before heading home . Upon breaking out of jail and murdering the sheriff , Lewis witnesses the kiss and reports it to Clinch . On the day of the duel , Foy arrives late and goes into convulsions from the laxative he had unknowingly drunk . Albert , who has decided that Louise is not worth fighting for , once again forfeits the duel . He retires to the saloon , but Clinch arrives and demands to know who kissed his wife . When no one comes forward , Clinch shoots a nearby cowboy ( Ryan Reynolds ) . He reveals that Anna is his wife and threatens to continue killing unless his wife 's lover duels him at noon the next day . Clinch later forces Anna to reveal Albert 's name and then prepares to have sex with her , but she knocks him unconscious and escapes . Anna returns to Albert 's farm , where he angrily shouts at her for lying to him . Clinch pursues Anna to the farm ; Albert helps her escape , then escapes himself . While fleeing , he is captured by a tribe of Apache Indians , who threaten to burn him alive . The Indians spare him when he reveals that he can speak their language . They give him a bowl of peyote , which sends him flashing back to his birth and through painful events of his childhood before making him realize that he loves Anna . Meanwhile , Clinch recaptures Anna in town , in front of Edward 's ( Giovanni Ribisi ) house . Albert returns to Old Stump and confronts Clinch . He wounds Clinch with a bullet poisoned with rattlesnake venom before his own gun is shot out of his hand , but he manages to stall until Clinch fatally succumbs to the poison . Louise attempts to win back Albert , but he rejects her and instead happily enters a relationship with Anna . Albert also receives a bounty for killing Clinch and uses the money to buy more sheep . Later at the Fair , the proprietor of a racially charged shooting game called `` Runaway Slave '' asks who would like to take a shot . Django ( Jamie Foxx ) steps up and shoots the man while commenting that `` people die at the fair '' . Cast ( edit ) Seth MacFarlane as Albert Stark , a sheepherder .

Cameos ( edit ) Jamie Foxx ( uncredited ) as Django Freeman , he appears where he shoots the owner of the `` Runaway Slave '' game . The scene featuring him was added after audiences in test screenings reacted poorly to the shooting gallery at the fair which features cartoon images of black slaves as targets . Ryan Reynolds ( uncredited ) as cowboy killed in bar Tait Fletcher as Cowboy # 1 Gilbert Gottfried as Abraham Lincoln , he was seen during Albert 's drug trip . Mike Henry as smiling man in photograph Dennis Haskins as snake oil salesman John Michael Higgins as Dandy # 1 Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown Bill Maher as comic Ewan McGregor as a cowboy who laughed with Foy at Albert 's expense at the fair . Alec Sulkin as guy at fair Rupert Boneham as guy in bar fight Kaley Cuoco ( uncredited , unrated version only ) as a woman that Albert tries to pick up in a store . Patrick Stewart ( uncredited voice ) as a sheep with long legs that was seen in Albert 's drug trip . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) A Million Ways to Die in the West originated as an inside joke between MacFarlane and co-writers Sulkin and Wild , while they were watching Hang ' Em High . The joke evolved into `` riffing on the idea of how dull , depressing , and dangerous it must have been to live in the Wild West . '' MacFarlane , a lifelong fan of westerns , began researching the topic , using Jeff Guinn 's nonfiction novel , The Last Gunfight : The Real Story of the Shootout at the O.K. Corral -- And How It Changed the American West as an `` invaluable resource , '' and basis for many of the ways of dying in the film . Various aspects of the film were inspired by real westerns . The decision to make Albert a sheep herder was inspired by Montana ( 1950 ) and his average , non-confrontational demeanor by 3 : 10 to Yuma ( 1957 ) . Other westerns that inspired MacFarlane and the crew during writing included Oklahoma ! ( 1955 ) , The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance ( 1962 ) , and El Dorado ( 1966 ) . The film was first announced on December 3 , 2012 , marking MacFarlane 's second foray into live - action directing , after 2012 's Ted . Casting ( edit ) On January 30 , 2013 , it was announced that Charlize Theron had joined the film . Theron later revealed that she `` begged '' for her role , as she wanted the opportunity to work in comedy . On February 11 , it was announced Amanda Seyfried had joined the film . On March 6 , it was announced Liam Neeson and Giovanni Ribisi had joined the film . Neeson , who nearly always suppresses his Irish accent when acting , agreed to play the part of Clinch only on the condition that he could use his Irish accent . In an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , Neeson remarked that he made this demand because an episode of MacFarlane 's Family Guy had previously made a joke out of the juxtaposition of Neeson playing a cowboy with an Irish accent . On March 18 , it was announced that Sarah Silverman was cast to play a prostitute in the film . On May 10 , it was announced that the film would be co-financed by Media Rights Capital and Fuzzy Door Productions , along with Bluegrass Films and distributed by Universal Studios . On May 11 , 2013 , it was announced that Neil Patrick Harris had joined the film . On May 29 , 2013 , MacFarlane announced that Bill Maher had joined the cast . On February 21 , 2014 , he announced that Gilbert Gottfried had also joined the cast . Filming ( edit ) Principal photography began on May 6 , 2013 . Filming locations included various areas in and around Albuquerque , New Mexico , also including the Santa Fe Studio in Santa Fe . Principal photography ended on August 9 , 2013 . The film shoot was difficult , as the cast and crew navigated rough weather : `` everything from hailstorms to blistering heat to arctic winds and torrential rainstorms .

An audio - book version was also made available , narrated by Jonathan Frakes . MacFarlane wrote the book on weekends during shooting for the film , partially due to boredom . Box Office ( edit ) A Million Ways to Die in the West grossed $43.1 million in North America and $43.3 million in other territories , for a worldwide total of $86.4 million , against its $40 million budget . The film grossed $16.8 million in its opening weekend , finishing in third place at the box office behind fellow newcomer Maleficent and the previous weekend 's opener X-Men : Days of Future Past .

Home Media ( edit ) A Million Ways to Die in the West was released via DVD and Blu - ray on October 7 , 2014 . The Blu - ray release contains an unrated version ( 135 minutes ) , along with the original theatrical cut ( 116 minutes ) . In the United States , the film has grossed $8,336,420 from DVD sales and $6,739,162 from Blu - ray sales , making a total of $15,075,582 . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) A Million Ways to Die in the West received mixed reviews from critics . Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 33 % rating based on 192 reviews , with an average score of 4.9 / 10 . The site 's consensus states , `` While it offers a few laughs and boasts a talented cast , Seth MacFarlane 's overlong , aimless A Million Ways to Die in the West is a disappointingly scattershot affair . '' Another review aggregation website , Metacritic , gave a score of 44 out of 100 , based on reviews from 43 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` B '' on an A+ to F scale ; opening weekend demographics were 55 % male and 72 % over 25 years of age . Claudia Puig 's review in USA Today was largely positive , writing , `` A Western with a contemporary sensibility and dialogue that sounds markedly modern , A Million Ways to Die in the West is quintessential MacFarlane , at once silly and witty , juvenile and clever . '' Stephen Holden 's review in The New York Times was mainly neutral , calling the film `` a live - action spinoff of ( Family Guy ) , with different characters . '' `` While the whole thing feels weirdly miscalculated to me , A Million Ways to Die in the West tweaks the formula just enough , delivers a few laughs and keeps the guest stars coming , '' wrote Salon columnist Andrew O'Hehir . Rafer Guzman of Newsday found the film amusing , calling it `` another example of MacFarlane 's ability to mix poop jokes with romance , foul language with sweet sentiment , offensive humor with boyish charm . '' Scott Mendelson of Forbes commended MacFarlane 's decision to make an unconventional western comedy , but summarized the film as `` just ambitious enough for that to be genuinely disappointing . '' Michael O'Sullivan at The Washington Post was mixed , deeming the film a `` broad , wildly hit - or - miss satire , '' remarking that he found few of the jokes in the film funny . `` Spiritually , it 's closer to a mid-range crowd - pleaser such as City Slickers than Blazing Saddles , too enamoured of genre convention to reach for the comic dynamite , '' wrote Mike McCahill at The Guardian . Much of the film 's criticism was directed towards its writing , running time , and MacFarlane 's debut live - action performance . Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune criticized MacFarlane 's acting and direction as : `` A failure of craft . He ca n't direct action , or even handle scenery well . He ca n't set up a visual joke properly without resorting to head - butting and bone - crunching , and he does n't know how , or when , to move his camera . He 's not good enough as a romantic lead to anchor a picture . '' Richard Corliss of Time called the film a `` sagebrush comedy whose visual grandeur and appealing actors get polluted by some astonishingly lazy writing . '' Scott Foundas of Variety found the film `` overlong and uninspired , '' criticizing the film 's `` lazy writing , '' and MacFarlane 's `` surprisingly bland '' comic performance . Rene Rodriguez of the Miami Herald gave the film one star , commenting , `` There are enough laughs scattered throughout A Million Ways to Die in the West that while you 're watching it , the movie seems like a passable comedy . By the time you get home , though , you can barely remember the jokes . '' John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter criticized the film 's running time : `` Though the film is hardly laugh - free , its uneven jokes appear to have breezed through a very forgiving editing process . '' Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal too found the film 's length `` exhausting , '' noting , `` Some of it sputters , settling for smiles instead of laughs , and much of it flounders while the slapdash script searches ( ... ) for ever more common denominators in toilet humor .

A two - day shoot for some scenes in the season was also held at Kinston Regional Jetport . Paul Johansson will direct at least one episode in the season . At the Television Critics Association summer press tour , president of entertainment at The CW , Mark Pedowitz said `` At this point it 's the final 13 , '' about the possibility of extending the season . He added , `` You never want to say never , '' revealing that he did speak to executive producer Mark Schwahn and that they agreed that 13 episodes is the best number to close the series with . One Tree Hill filmed its final scenes on November 16 , 2011 . The season aired Wednesdays at 8 : 00 pm Eastern / 7 : 00 pm Central as a lead - in to new reality series , `` Remodeled '' . It premiered on January 11 , 2012 , with an encore following immediately after . There was no opening credit sequence during the final season as producers did n't want to waste time that could potentially be used for story . Gavin Degraw will perform in the series finale . The series 's final epilogue was sports - themed . In an interview with Carina Mackenzie of Zap2it , Sophia Bush revealed she was the first person to be approached for season nine , and the first to sign on . `` The idea that we would do this as 13 final episode ( s ) and almost shoot like it a miniseries really appealed to me , '' she says . `` On a professional level , if we had shot 22 episodes , it would be one more year we 'd be shooting through pilot season and unavailable for other things . '' When discussing the shows series finale and she being upset about the end , she said , `` On the same side of the coin , most shows do n't last this long . Most shows do n't make it 6 years let alone 9 , so I really feel like it 's all just been a gift . '' In another interview , Bethany Joy Galeotti revealed her own reasons for returning , `` It was a really tough decision , but I have a few friendships here that I was n't ready to walk away from yet . Season 8 ended with like a booze - on - stage - 8 kind of party . I was kind of like ' This ca n't be how we say goodbye . At least let 's come back for 13 more episodes . ' '' Sophia Bush directed the penultimate episode of the series . The CW has given more promotion for the launch of the final season than it has since the fifth season . Mark Pedowitz said , `` I 'm a big believer in giving shows a proper sendoff . `` It deserves a proper sendoff . Not many shows last nine years . Mark , his team and the cast deserve a really good sendoff . I think we did a good job for them this year . '' After backlash from fans about whether Sophia Bush had asked not to work with Murray during his episode , she cleared up the matter in an interview with Zap2it : `` When I got the script and saw that Lucas was back , I called Mark , and I told him that if he wanted to write scenes where the whole gang gets together at Haley 's house and talks about how they 're going to find Nathan , then he should write that . I 've never asked not to work with any former cast mates , and I 'm certainly not going to start now , in the final season . This show is too important to me , and these characters are too important to me , and the fans are too important to me . '' The series finale aired on Wednesday , April 4 , 2012 , 8 : 00 -- 10 : 00 p.m. , as a special two - hour event . It featured interviews with the series ' stars as they look back at the shows most memorable moments . Cast ( edit ) Over the years the One Tree Hill cast and crew has become a small unit . It 's really a small family and they have asked for a few years if I wanted to come back . ( Last year I said ) , ' If they have one more season I will definitely do it , ' and sure enough they were asked back , against all odds , so I had to comply . `` '' -- Tyler Hilton on returning to the series .

Murray later revealed he will return for one episode . He will appear in the seventh episode of the season .

Allison Munn and Scott Holroyd will return during season nine as Miss Lauren and David Fletcher , respectively . They will return as a couple , and she will be carrying his child .

Mark Schwahn revealed in an interview with Zap2it that they did reach out to Hilarie Burton to return with Murray , `` We would have liked to include Hilarie as well but she has a ( son ) now , and she has a job , and she 's doing well and she just felt like her free time away from work she wanted to spend with her ( son ) , which is a completely plausible , nice answer , '' he said . Storylines ( edit ) Lucas needs to come back to combat some drama that is going on in Haley 's life and we kind of get a little bit of an opportunity to see what we really loved in the relationship between Haley and Luke . It 's just kind of a little throwback and a little visit for our fans and for our wonderful following . It 's a solution to a problem . `` '' -- Chad Michael Murray on Lucas ' return , in an interview with E ! . Before the series was renewed , Mark Schwahn said that if they decide to air the ending for season eight that will satisfy as a series finale , he could introduce the unaired cliffhangers in the season nine premiere .

Nathan will be kidnapped during the season , and Haley and Dan will be searching for him . According to a promotional video shown at the end of an evening of events -- `` An Evening with One Tree Hill '' ; the opening moments of the seasons first episode is narrated by Nathan .

Discussing the possibility of the death of one of the characters , Robert Buckley said : `` The One Tree Hill family , as we know it , is going to change by season 's end . The people we start the season with ( are ) not the same group we end it with . '' During the season , Mouth will gain around 60 pounds . Lee Norris has said of the storyline , `` He 's undergone a physical transformation ... but what is really going to interest the audience is why this transformation happened . '' He also revealed he was `` adamant '' about handling the topic with respect , `` I did n't want it to be one of the broader comedic things on the show ; I wanted it to be an issue that people identify with , '' he said . Regarding Haley 's direction for season nine , Bethany Joy Galeotti said , `` Haley 's trying to deal with having Dan around and deciding whether she 's going to let this person back in her life and into her family 's life . And Nathan is away , and that 's taking a huge toll on their relationship . It 's a lot about Haley finding out what her limits are . '' Mark Schwahn has said we 'll see a lot of the strength of Nathan and Haley 's relationship and why they 're destined to be together . Regarding the friendship between Dan and Chris Keller he said , `` villains understand villains . '' Chris Kellar will develop a `` bromance '' with Chase this season as they begin to spend a lot of time together as he will be working next door to TRIC . James Lafferty believes this is the worst year for Nathan , but revealed that he is happy with where he left the character and the pay - off at the end is worth it .

In Black Panther , T'Challa is crowned king of Wakanda following his father 's death , but his sovereignty is challenged by an adversary who plans to abandon the country 's isolationist policies and begin a global revolution . Wesley Snipes expressed interest in working on a Black Panther film in 1992 , but the project did not come to fruition . In September 2005 , Marvel Studios announced a Black Panther film as one of ten based on Marvel characters and distributed by Paramount Pictures . Mark Bailey was hired to write a script in January 2011 . Black Panther was announced in October 2014 , and Boseman made his first appearance as the character in Captain America : Civil War ( 2016 ) . By 2016 , Cole and Coogler had joined ; additional cast joined in May , making Black Panther the first Marvel film with a predominantly black cast .

One warrior ingests a `` heart - shaped herb '' affected by the metal and gains superhuman abilities , becoming the first `` Black Panther '' . He unites all but the Jabari Tribe to form the nation of Wakanda . Over centuries , the Wakandans use the vibranium to develop advanced technology and isolate themselves from the world by posing as a Third World country . In 1992 , Wakanda 's King T'Chaka visits his brother N'Jobu , who is working undercover in Oakland , California . T'Chaka accuses N'Jobu of assisting black - market arms dealer Ulysses Klaue with stealing vibranium from Wakanda . N'Jobu's partner reveals he is Zuri , another undercover Wakandan , and confirms T'Chaka's suspicions . In the present day , following T'Chaka's death , his son T'Challa returns to Wakanda to assume the throne . He and Okoye , the leader of the Dora Milaje regiment , extract T'Challa's ex-lover Nakia from an undercover assignment so she can attend his coronation ceremony with his mother Ramonda and younger sister Shuri . At the ceremony , the Jabari Tribe 's leader M'Baku challenges T'Challa for the crown in ritual combat . T'Challa defeats M'Baku and persuades him to yield rather than die . When Klaue and Erik Stevens steal a Wakandan artifact from a London museum , T'Challa's friend and Okoye 's lover W'Kabi urges him to bring Klaue back alive . T'Challa , Okoye , and Nakia travel to Busan , South Korea , where Klaue plans to sell the artifact to CIA agent Everett K. Ross . A firefight erupts and Klaue attempts to flee but is caught by T'Challa , who reluctantly releases him to Ross ' custody . Klaue tells Ross that Wakanda 's international image is a front for a technologically advanced civilization . Erik attacks and extracts Klaue as Ross is gravely injured protecting Nakia . Rather than pursue Klaue , T'Challa takes Ross to Wakanda , where their technology can save him . While Shuri heals Ross , T'Challa confronts Zuri about N'Jobu . Zuri explains that N'Jobu planned to share Wakanda 's technology with people of African descent around the world to help them conquer their oppressors . As T'Chaka arrested N'Jobu , the latter attacked Zuri and forced T'Chaka to kill him . T'Chaka ordered Zuri to lie that N'Jobu had disappeared and left behind N'Jobu's American son in order to maintain the lie . This boy grew up to be Stevens , a U.S. black ops soldier who adopted the name `` Killmonger '' . Meanwhile , Killmonger kills Klaue and takes his body to Wakanda . He is brought before the tribal elders , revealing his identity and claim to the throne . Killmonger challenges T'Challa to ritual combat , where he kills Zuri , defeats T'Challa , and hurls him over a waterfall to his presumed death . Killmonger ingests the heart - shaped herb and orders the rest incinerated , but Nakia extracts one first . Killmonger , supported by W'Kabi and his army , prepares to distribute shipments of Wakandan weapons to operatives around the world . Nakia , Shuri , Ramonda , and Ross flee to the Jabari Tribe for aid . They find a comatose T'Challa , rescued by the Jabari in repayment for sparing M'Baku's life . Healed by Nakia 's herb , T'Challa returns to fight Killmonger , who dons his own Black Panther suit . W'Kabi and his army fight Shuri , Nakia , and the Dora Milaje , while Ross remotely pilots a jet and shoots down planes carrying the vibranium weapons . M'Baku and the Jabari arrive to reinforce T'Challa . Confronted by Okoye , W'Kabi and his army stand down . Fighting in Wakanda 's vibranium mine , T'Challa disrupts Killmonger 's suit and stabs him . Killmonger refuses to be healed , choosing to die a free man rather than be incarcerated . T'Challa establishes an outreach center at the building where N'Jobu died , to be run by Nakia and Shuri . In a mid-credits scene , T'Challa appears before the United Nations to reveal Wakanda 's true nature to the world . In a post-credits scene , Shuri helps Bucky Barnes with his recuperation . Cast ( L : R ) Producer Kevin Feige , director Ryan Coogler , and actors Lupita Nyong'o , Michael B. Jordan , Danai Gurira , and Chadwick Boseman promoting Black Panther at the 2016 San Diego Comic - Con International . Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa / Black Panther : The king of the African nation of Wakanda , who gains enhanced strength by ingesting the heart - shaped herb . He ascends to the throne following the death of his father T'Chaka in Captain America : Civil War ( 2016 ) . Boseman called T'Challa an anti-hero who is `` very much aware '' of his responsibility as the leader of Wakanda . Black Panther 's suit , which forms around his body , was inspired by a similar design in Ta - Nehisi Coates ' Black Panther comic book run . Boseman worked with the same dialect coach he had during Message from the King ( 2016 ) , and worked with Marrese Crump to stay in shape between Civil War and Black Panther . To prepare for the role , Boseman visited South Africa twice ; examined Shaka Zulu , Patrice Lumumba , speeches from Nelson Mandela , and Fela Kuti songs ; talked to a Yoruba Babalawo ; trained in Dambe , Capoeira Angola , and Zulu stick fighting ; and took a DNA test to better understand his African ancestry . He signed a five - film contract with Marvel . Ashton Tyler plays a young T'Challa . Michael B. Jordan as N'Jadaka / Erik `` Killmonger '' Stevens : A U.S. black - ops soldier who seeks to overthrow his cousin T'Challa , with his own opinion on how Wakanda should be ruled . Jordan had wanted to play a villain for `` a while '' , and likened Killmonger and T'Challa's relationship to the X-Men characters Magneto and Professor X . He added that Killmonger is strategic , thoughtful , patient , and `` trained to a T '' . Killmonger 's bumpy , ritualistic tribal markings on his chest and torso resemble the scar tattoos of the Mursi and Surma tribes , and consisted of 90 individually sculpted silicone molds that took two - and - a-half hours to apply . Jordan would have to sit in a sauna for two hours at the end of the day to remove the prosthetics . Killmonger 's dreadlocks hairstyle was a modern take on the character 's long hair in the comics . To prepare for the role , Jordan examined Malcolm X , Marcus Garvey , Huey P. Newton , Fred Hampton , and Tupac Shakur . Corey Calliet served as Jordan 's trainer on the film , after also doing so on Creed . Seth Carr plays a young Stevens . Lupita Nyong'o as Nakia : T'Challa's former lover and a War Dog , an undercover spy for Wakanda , from the River Tribe . Nyong'o called Nakia a `` departure '' from her comic counterpart . She begins the film fighting for enslaved women in Nigeria . Nyong'o learned to speak Hausa for the film , and also trained in judo , jujitsu , silat , and Filipino martial arts . Danai Gurira as Okoye : An `` extremely proud '' Wakandan and traditionalist from the Border Tribe , who is the head of the Dora Milaje , Wakanda 's all - female special forces and T'Challa's bodyguards . Director Ryan Coogler cast Gurira based on her performance in Mother of George ( 2013 ) , rather than her popular role of Michonne in the television series The Walking Dead , which Coogler had not seen . Gurira said that the fighting skills she learned playing Michonne complemented the skills of Okoye , but noted that the Dora Milaje are a secret service , which covers intel as well as fighting . She explained that though the character is stoic , `` she also has an unexpected sense of humor . She has a heart , but for her country and for her people . '' Gurira 's head was re-shaved every day to have her head tattoos applied , which took two - and - a-half to three - and - a-half hours . Martin Freeman as Everett K. Ross : A member of the Central Intelligence Agency , who Freeman described as having an `` uneasy peace '' with T'Challa . He added that the character goes on an `` enlightening journey to Wakanda '' in the film . Freeman and the filmmakers sought to depict Ross as a capable agent rather than just comic relief as he is in the comics . Daniel Kaluuya as W'Kabi : A confidant to T'Challa and his best friend , who is the head of security for the Border Tribe , serving as the first line of defense for Wakanda . Letitia Wright as Shuri : T'Challa's 16 - year - old sister who designs new technology for the country . Wright described Shuri as innovative of spirit and mind , wanting to take Wakanda to `` a new place '' , and felt she was a good role model for young black girls . Executive producer Nate Moore called Shuri the smartest person in the world , even more so than Tony Stark . Winston Duke as M'Baku : A powerful , ruthless warrior who is the leader of Wakanda 's mountain tribe , the Jabari , who are in protest to T'Challa being the new king . Duke described the Jabari as people who `` strongly believe that to move forward , you have to have a strong adherence and respect for the past . So they have a deep moral conscience . '' Character elements from Christopher Priest 's 1998 -- 2003 Black Panther series were adapted for M'Baku's portrayal in the film . M'Baku is not referred to in the film by his comics alter ego `` Man - Ape '' , since Marvel felt there were `` a lot of racial implications that do n't sit well '' in having a black character dress up as an ape . This aspect of the character was instead reworked to have the Jabari tribe worship the gorilla gods , with M'Baku still wearing elements of fur on his arms and legs and a chest - plate that hints at the gorilla . Moore continued , `` Man - Ape is a problematic character for a lot of reasons , but the idea behind Man - Ape we thought was really fascinating ... It 's a line I think we 're walking , and hopefully walking successfully . '' To further differentiate the Jabari , Duke spoke a version of the Nigerian Igbo language rather than the Xhosa language spoken by other Wakandans . Angela Bassett as Ramonda : T'Challa and Shuri 's mother , the Queen Mother of Wakanda . Ramonda serves as an adviser to T'Challa for when he would otherwise have turned to his father . Bassett wore a silver , waist - length wig for the role that was made from 120 pieces of hair hand - rolled into dreadlocks . Calliet also served as Bassett 's trainer before and during filming , creating high - intensity interval training circuits and helping to craft her diet . Forest Whitaker as Zuri : An elder statesman in Wakanda and the keeper of the heart - shaped herb . Coogler called Zuri a religious and spiritual figure , referencing the spirituality of Wakanda from the comics , and compared him to Obi - wan Kenobi from the Star Wars series . Zuri is also a `` major tie back '' to T'Chaka for T'Challa . Denzel Whitaker , who is not related to Forest , plays a young Zuri . Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaue : A South African black - market arms dealer , smuggler and gangster , who is allied with Killmonger . He uses a piece of advanced Wakandan mining equipment as a sonic disruptor arm - cannon , replacing his left arm , which he lost in Avengers : Age of Ultron ( 2015 ) . Boseman described Klaue as a threat to Wakanda , one of the few outsiders to enter the country , and someone with access to vibranium . He compared the character to Osama bin Laden . Serkis added that in addition to his desire for vibranium , Klaue is motivated by a `` personal '' vendetta against T'Challa , and `` to expose what he thinks is the hypocrisy of Wakanda '' . Additionally , John Kani and Florence Kasumba reprise their respective roles of T'Chaka and Ayo from Captain America : Civil War . Kani 's son Atandwa portrays a young T'Chaka , and Sterling K. Brown plays his brother N'Jobu , who is Killmonger 's father . Wakandan elders in the film include Isaach de Bankolé for the River Tribe , Connie Chiume for the Mining Tribe , Dorothy Steel for the Merchant Tribe , and Danny Sapani for the Border Tribe . Sydelle Noel appears as Xoliswa , a member of the Dora Milaje . Marija Abney , Janeshia Adams - Ginyard , Maria Hippolyte , Marie Mouroum , Jénel Stevens , Zola Williams , Christine Hollingsworth , and Shaunette Renée Wilson also play Doras . Nabiyah Be initially announced that she was playing criminal Tilda Johnson , but her character was simply named Linda in the final film due to Gabrielle Dennis being cast as Johnson in the second season of Luke Cage . Comedian Trevor Noah voices Griot , a Wakandan ship A.I. , Black Panther co-creator Stan Lee has a cameo as a patron in the South Korean casino , and Sebastian Stan makes an uncredited appearance in the post-credits scene reprising his role as Bucky Barnes . Production Development In June 1992 , Wesley Snipes announced his intention to make a film about Black Panther , and began work on it by that August . Snipes felt that Africa had been portrayed poorly in Hollywood films previously , and that this film could highlight the majesty of the continent due to the character being noble and `` the antithesis of ( African ) stereotypes '' . The next July , Snipes planned to begin The Black Panther after starring in Demolition Man ( 1993 ) , and a month later he expressed interest in making sequels to the film as well . In January 1994 , Snipes entered talks with Columbia Pictures to portray Black Panther , and Black Panther co-creator Stan Lee joined the film by March ; it entered early development by May . Snipes had discussions with several different screenwriters and directors about the project , including Mario Van Peebles and John Singleton . When the film had not progressed by January 1996 , Lee explained that he had not been pleased with the scripts for the project . Snipes said that there was confusion among those unfamiliar with the comics , who thought that the film was about the Black Panther Party . We 've yet to have a major black comic book hero on the screen . Especially the Black Panther , which is such a rich , interesting life . It 's a dream come true to originate something ( like ) that . -- Actor Wesley Snipes , who worked on early iterations of Black Panther In July 1997 , Black Panther was listed as part of Marvel Comics ' film slate , and in March 1998 , Marvel reportedly hired Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti , who at the time were editors of the Black Panther comics , to work on it ; Quesada and Palmiotti have both denied this . That August , corporate problems at Marvel put the project on hold . A year later , Snipes was set to produce , and possibly star , in the film , while Artisan Entertainment announced a deal with Marvel in May 2000 to co-produce , finance , and distribute the film . In March 2002 , Snipes planned to make the film or Blade 3 ( 2004 ) over the next year . In July 2004 , Blade 3 director David S. Goyer felt Snipes starring as Black Panther in addition to Marvel 's Blade `` might be overkill '' . In September 2005 , Marvel chairman and CEO Avi Arad announced Black Panther as one of ten films being developed by the new Marvel Studios . In June 2006 , Snipes said he hoped to have a director for the project soon , and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige reiterated in February 2007 that Black Panther was in development . By that July , John Singleton had been approached to direct the film . In March 2009 , Marvel hired writers to help come up with creative ways to launch its lesser - known properties , including Black Panther ; Nate Moore , the head of the writers program , was overseeing the development of Black Panther specifically . Snipes ' involvement stalled at this time , as he was convicted of failing to file a tax return , serving his sentence from June 2010 to April 2013 . In January 2011 , Marvel Studios hired documentary filmmaker Mark Bailey to write a script for Black Panther , to be produced by Feige . By October 2013 , the metal vibranium , which comes from Black Panther 's home nation Wakanda , was introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ; Marvel had considered showing Wakanda itself as early as Iron Man 2 ( 2010 ) , but were waiting until they had `` a full idea '' of how to depict it . In October 2014 , Feige announced that Black Panther would be released on November 3 , 2017 , with Chadwick Boseman cast as T'Challa / Black Panther . Boseman did not audition for the role , instead discussing what he wanted to do with the part with Marvel . The actor was set to first portray the character in Captain America : Civil War . Snipes gave his support for the project , despite no longer being involved . Feige said that Marvel was considering minority writers and directors for the film , but would prioritize `` the best filmmakers , the best writers , the best directors possible . So I 'm not going to say for sure that we 're going to hire from any one demographic '' . He added that they had met with former Black Panther comics writer Reginald Hudlin . In January 2015 , Boseman said that the film was going through a `` brainstorming phase '' , and the next month Marvel pushed back the release date to July 6 , 2018 . Further casting was underway , and Feige was set to meet with directors after the release of Avengers : Age of Ultron at the end of April . By May 2015 , Marvel had discussions with Ava DuVernay to direct this film or Captain Marvel ( 2019 ) . In June , Feige confirmed that he had met with DuVernay alongside a number of other directors , and said that he expected a decision to be made by mid - to late 2015 . By early July , DuVernay had passed on directing the film , explaining that she had been drawn to the cultural importance of depicting a black hero to the whole world , but disagreed with Marvel on the story and did not want to compromise her vision . By October 2015 , F. Gary Gray and Ryan Coogler had been considered as directors for the film , though negotiations with Coogler had cooled , and Gray had chosen to direct The Fate of the Furious ( 2017 ) instead . Joe Robert Cole , a member of the Marvel writers program , was in talks to write the screenplay , and Marvel changed the release date once again , moving it to February 16 , 2018 . By December , discussions with Coogler were reignited after the successful opening of his film Creed ( 2015 ) . Pre-production Coogler was confirmed as director in January 2016 , and said that the film was his `` most personal movie to date '' in part because he grew up reading comics , adding , `` I feel really fortunate to be able to work on something I 'm this passionate about again . '' After being `` wooed '' by Feige for months , Coogler agreed to direct the film if he could bring collaborators from his previous films to differentiate the film from other MCU films that are often `` shot , composed , and edited by the same in - house people '' . This included Fruitvale Station ( 2013 ) cinematographer Rachel Morrison , as well as production designer Hannah Beachler and composer Ludwig Göransson , who both worked with Coogler on Fruitvale Station and Creed . Coogler felt Black Panther would be unique while still fitting within the MCU 's overall narrative . What 's so great about Panther is he 's a superhero who ... sees himself as a politician , as a leader in his country . It just so happens that the country is a warrior - based nation where the leaders have to be warriors , as well , so sometimes he has to go fight . -- Ryan Coogler , director of Black Panther In April 2016 , Feige said that Coogler was working on the script with Cole , and that filming would begin at the beginning of 2017 . He added that the film would be the first Marvel Studios production to feature a `` primarily African - American cast '' : Lupita Nyong'o soon entered negotiations to star as T'Challa's love interest , and Michael B. Jordan joined in an undisclosed role , after previously working with Coogler on Fruitvale Station and Creed . Nate Moore , serving as a producer on the film by the end of May , stated that filming would occur in Atlanta , Georgia , with Marvel `` definitely investigating shooting in Africa '' as well . At San Diego Comic - Con 2016 , Nyong'o was confirmed for the film , in the role of Nakia , while Jordan 's role was revealed to be Erik Killmonger . Also announced was Danai Gurira as Okoye . Coogler confirmed that filming would begin in January 2017 . Additional casting occurred from September 2016 until the start of filming , with Winston Duke cast as M'Baku , a role that Yahya Abdul - Mateen II had also tested for ; Forest Whitaker as Zuri ; Daniel Kaluuya as W'Kabi ; Angela Bassett as T'Challa's mother , Ramonda ; Sterling K. Brown as N'Jobu ; and Letitia Wright in an unspecified role . Florence Kasumba was revealed to be reprising her role as Ayo from Captain America : Civil War . Amandla Stenberg , who is bi-racial and light skinned , was considered for a role in the film but was not comfortable taking the place of a dark - skinned actor , and described her decision to pass on the role as `` really challenging '' . By January 2017 , Marvel received permission from the Oakland , California - based public transit agency AC Transit to use their logo in the film for the opening flashback sequence . The setting was chosen due to Coogler growing up in that area . Writing Coogler promoting Black Panther at the 2016 San Diego Comic - Con International The production team was inspired by Ta - Nehisi Coates ' run on Black Panther , who was writing the comic at the same time as they were working on the film . Of particular inspiration was Coates ' poetic dialogue , Brian Stelfreeze 's art , and `` some of the questions that it 's asking '' . The film was also inspired by the comic runs of Jack Kirby , Christopher Priest ( which Coogler felt most influenced the film ) , Jonathan Hickman , and Hudlin . Characters for the film were picked from throughout the comics based on what worked for the film 's story . The ceremonial betrothal aspect of the Dora Milaje was not adapted from the comics for the film . Coogler had hoped to include Spider - Man villain Kraven the Hunter early in the process because of a scene in Priest 's run that had T'Challa fighting Kraven , but the rights to the character were not available . Donald Glover and his brother Stephen made some minor contributions to an early draft of the script , developing the relationship between T'Challa and his younger sister Shuri . Moore noted that an early script had more scenes outside of Wakanda to explore `` what it means to be African and African - American in the world a bit more '' , and hoped these could be revisited in a later film , particularly a `` super cool '' sequence that was storyboarded before being cut . Feige described Black Panther as `` a big geopolitical action adventure '' that focuses on family and T'Challa learning to be king , with Civil War laying the groundwork for T'Challa's morality and establishing the geopolitical landscape that he would have to deal with on returning to Wakanda . Moore compared the politics and humor of the film to Captain America : The Winter Soldier ( 2014 ) , saying that the former would be inherent but not `` preachy '' , and that the latter would avoid the tones of Guardians of the Galaxy ( 2014 ) and Ant - Man ( 2015 ) . He also said the film would be a cross between The Godfather ( 1972 ) and the James Bond films as a `` big , operatic family drama centered around a world of international espionage '' . Coogler was influenced by 1970s films such as the works of Francis Ford Coppola in that decade , as well as crime fiction . He also watched the film A Prophet ( 2009 ) for inspiration . Feige called the film 's story `` rich in culturally relevant ideas '' , with Boseman indicating there were parallels to `` pull from '' in the film in relation to Donald Trump becoming President of the United States after Barack Obama , though Feige added that `` these are conversations we were having two years ago because that is inherently the story within the comics . '' Moore said the film does not depend on the plots of any other MCU films , but it does affect the wider MCU moving forward , with Feige stating the film was `` a very important '' link to Avengers : Infinity War ( 2018 ) and its sequel ( 2019 ) . Civil War did introduce the Wakandan language , based on the Xhosa language , which Boseman was taught by John Kani who portrays T'Challa's father King T'Chaka . Design Cole called the film an historic opportunity to depict a black superhero `` at a time when African - Americans are affirming their identities while dealing with vilification and dehumanization '' . It was important to root film in the actual cultures of Africa , with the filmmakers consulting with experts on the region of Africa that Wakanda is supposed to be located in , rooting the film `` in reality first and then build ( ing ) out from there '' . Coogler compared the rarity of vibranium existing only in Wakanda to the real - life mineral coltan that can almost only be found in Congo . He wanted Wakanda to feel like a full country with multiple distinct tribes , and created a project bible that detailed each Wakandan tribe to guide the design process . Special care was taken to create a futuristic look that was not alien , as some of Jack Kirby 's original comic designs appeared . Sets Beachler wanted to honor the comic designs , but fill in the gaps with research concentrated on Sub-Saharan Africa , pulling inspiration from Uganda , Rwanda , Burundi , Congo - Kinshasa , and Ethiopia , as well as the designs of Zaha Hadid . Moore described this approach as a love letter to Africa . Beachler looked at the architecture of existing tribes , and then tried to advance the technology naturally rather than if Wakanda had been colonized . Circular motifs , signifying the transmission of energy , were an important theme throughout the film . Older locations depicted in the film , such as Warrior Falls , the City of the Dead , and the Hall of Kings , were juxtaposed with the more modern Afro - punk style of the Golden City , the capital . Rondavels were incorporated into the tops of Wakanda 's skyscrapers , inspired by the look of mountains at Blyde River Canyon in South Africa . Beachler created different sigils and architecture for each of the Wakandan tribes , with the Border Tribe inspired by Lesotho , the Merchant Tribe having a sigil based on Nigerian writing , and the Golden Tribe using a sun symbol found throughout Africa . Gorilla City , home to the Jabari Tribe , was originally set in a rain forest , but Coogler suggested that it be found up a mountain in snow . Beachler based the written form of the Wakandan language on an old Nigerian language . She consulted with mining and metallurgy experts for the vibranium technology , including for the vibranium mine where the substance is depicted as glowing blue rocks before it is refined into the stainless steel look previously seen in the MCU . The film also adapts the kimoyo bead technology from the comics , and features sand - based technology . Beachler wanted futuristic elements of the film to be consistent with projections of what real world technology may be like in 25 or 30 years , such as the maglev and hovercraft technology used in vehicles . The Wakandan vehicles include a maglev train for carrying vibranium ; the king 's Royal Talon Fighter , which looks like a mask from the top and bottom ; and the Dragon Flyer , inspired by the Congo peafowl . The majority of Beachler 's sets were constructed on sound stages in Atlanta , including the Tribal Council , Shuri 's design space , and the Hall of Kings . The Tribal Council set was built with a glass floor through which an old ruin can be seen . The exterior set for Warrior Falls was built on a backlot north of Atlanta , and was inspired by the Oribi Gorge . The set was 36 feet ( 11 m ) , made up of a 6 feet ( 1.8 m ) high pool , and then 30 feet ( 9.1 m ) high cliff faces that were designed to be extended to 100 feet ( 30 m ) with visual effects . A framework for the cliffs was hand - sculpted from industrial styrofoam , with a system of tunnels built - in to the design to allow extras to climb up to different areas of the cliffs . The framework was then covered with 25,000 cubic feet ( 710 m ) of foam that was sculptured to match rocks found at Oribi Gorge . Six large pumps were used to fill the pool at the base of the set , and create a waterfall over the ledge at the bottom . The base of the pool was made from padding so stunts could safely be carried out on the set , but designed to look like rocks and to have enough grip that the actors would not fall over in the water . The set took four months to complete , and was used for two weeks of filming . Costumes The Maasai people of Kenya ( top ) inspired about 80 % of the design of the Dora Milaje , Wakanda 's all - female special forces ( bottom ) . Costume designer Ruth E. Carter referenced the Maasai , Himba , Dogon , Basotho , Tuareg , Turkana , Xhosa , Zulu , Suri and Dinka people in her designs . She also examined appropriate works by Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake , French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent , and American fashion designer Donna Karan . Winnie Mandela provided inspiration to Carter for Angela Bassett 's costumes . The Dora Milaje costumes primarily used red to reflect different African cultures , and included beaded tabards that feature talismans that would be passed down from mother to daughter . Carter wanted to avoid the `` girls in the bathing suits '' look , and instead have the Dora Milaje wear full armor that they would practically need for battle . She also had to take actors ' stunt work into consideration . Anthony Francisco , the Senior Visual Development Illustrator , noted the Dora Milaje costumes were based 80 percent on the Maasai , five percent on samurai , five percent on ninjas , and five percent on the Ifugao people from the Philippines . The arm band and neck rings were a reference to the Southern Ndebele people and denote stature . As such , General Okoye has gold bands and rings while the other Dora Milaje wear silver . The costumes for T'Challa combined his role as king and as the head of the military , including combining a kente cloth cloak with military boots . Carter also used distinct colors and patterns for each of Wakanda 's tribes , such as green with shells for the River Tribe based on the Suri ; blue with wood for the Border Tribe ; black with royal purple for the Black Panther and the Royal Palace ; plums and purples for the Merchant Tribe in reference to the Tuareg ; and ochre for the Mining Tribe inspired by the Himba . Three out of every five people in Wakanda go barefoot . The Wakandans wear `` normal '' clothes outside of the country , with the colors of their costumes kept consistent . Overall , Carter created 700 costumes for the film , working with `` an army '' of illustrators , designers , mold makers , fabric dyers , jewelry makers and more . Hair department head Camille Friend referenced traditional African art , fabrics , hair , and textures , and the current - day natural hair movement in her designs . Friend strived to keep the actors ' hair natural , using `` braids , locs and twists '' , and when necessary , extensions and wigs . As with Carter , Friend designed each tribe to have their own identifiable aesthetic , such as the Jabari Tribe having hair styled with `` very straight , clean lines '' and war - paint detail , inspired by Senegalese warriors . Filming Principal photography had begun by January 21 , 2017 , at EUE / Screen Gems Studios in the Atlanta metropolitan area , under the working title Motherland . Filming also took place in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood in Atlanta , which doubled as Oakland ; the High Museum of Art , which served as the fictional Museum of Great Britain in London ; and Atlanta City Hall , which served as a United Nations building . Cinematographer Rachel Morrison , who was eager to work on Black Panther after working with Coogler on Fruitvale Station , first watched all of the other MCU films to understand the established `` language '' . She wanted to `` push '' that language and feature more contrast in color . Visual effects supervisor Geoff Baumann provided Morrison with before - and - after shots of scenes from Civil War so she could understand what elements are captured on set and what is created digitally . She filmed in 3.4 K ArriRaw with Arri Alexa XT Plus cameras and Panavision Primo lenses , primarily using a two - camera set - up with a third or fourth camera on occasion . Morrison said that lighting was her biggest challenge , the magnitude of which `` was much bigger than I 'd experienced before '' , and made extensive use of Arri SkyPanel LED light fixtures , which she could preprogram from an iPad . Some sets were completely surrounded by SkyPanels . Shortly after filming started , Kani 's son Atandwa stated that he would appear in the film alongside his father , the latter reprising the role of T'Chaka , while on - set photographs revealed that Martin Freeman would reprise his role as Everett K. Ross . Marvel announced that production was underway on January 26 , and confirmed the casting of Freeman , Wright , and John Kani , while revealing that Andy Serkis would reprise his role as Ulysses Klaue from Avengers : Age of Ultron . Atandwa portrays a younger version of his father 's character , and also served as a cultural consultant during filming . Dialect coach Beth McGuire worked to ensure there was continuity between the various actors who had to use `` Wakandan accents '' . Jordan joined the production later than the rest of the core cast . He felt that this aided his performance , since his character is separate from and in conflict with the other characters . Because of this , Jordan kept to himself while he was on set . Since Black Panther and Avengers : Infinity War were filming simultaneously in Atlanta , both production teams worked together closely to ensure a unified presentation of Wakanda in the films , as the country also plays a large role in Infinity War . Additional filming took place in South Korea , with the city of Busan serving as the setting of a car chase scene that involved 150 cars and over 700 people . Coogler and Morrison referenced the car chase sequences from Bullitt ( 1968 ) , Drive ( 2011 ) , and The French Connection ( 1971 ) , taking the best elements from each for Black Panther 's sequence . Filming in Busan began on March 17 , at the Jagalchi Fish Market . Filming moved to Gwangalli Beach on March 21 , with other South Korean filming locations including Marine City in the Haeundae District and at the Gwangandaegyo Bridge . The production crew hired hundreds of current and former film students from local universities as staff or assistant staff during the South Korea filming . Filming in the country wrapped on March 27 , with additional location shooting also taking place at the Rwenzori Mountains and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda . John Marzano served as cinematographer for aerial footage of South Africa , Zambia , Uganda , and South Korea . At CinemaCon 2017 , Wright was revealed to be portraying Shuri in the film . Filming concluded on April 19 , 2017 . Post-production Editing Black Panther was edited by Michael Shawver and Debbie Berman , with Shawver spending time on set during filming as well as at an editing suite near the Atlanta production base . Berman joined the film after an initial director 's cut had been produced , two weeks after she completed work on Marvel 's Spider - Man : Homecoming ( 2017 ) , because Coogler likes to have both a male and female editing his films . She believed that she was chosen by Marvel because she is South African , and had been expressing interest in Black Panther throughout the editing process for Homecoming after first seeing the character in Civil War . Shawver said that a lot of their time editing was spent discussing how their work was affecting the audience . For instance , Shawver felt that initial versions of the first Warrior Falls fight fell `` flat '' and used techniques he learned working with Coogler on Creed to have the editing move back - and - forth to mimic the back - and - forth of the fighters . He also felt that adding more reaction shots to the crowd during the fight gave more weight to T'Challa's victory at the end . During work on the final battle , Berman pointed out to Coogler that the female Dora Milajae are rescued by the all - male Jabari tribe , which she felt undermined the focus on female characters leading up to that moment . Coogler agreed , and subsequently added female Jabar fighters to the scene through additional photography , including the first onscreen Jabari fighter in the scene . Berman felt that this was an important change that would not have been made if only men were editing the film . As first hinted by Coogler in January 2018 , the film includes two post-credit scenes : one showing T'Challa address the United Nations ; and one featuring Sebastian Stan reprising his role as Bucky Barnes . The first scene was originally intended to be part of the actual ending of the film , but was moved to during the credits so the film could conclude in Oakland , where it begins . Coogler felt having this symmetry was important . In the scene , T'Challa says `` The foolish build barriers , while the wise build bridges . '' Some felt this was a reference to the political climate of the presidency of Donald Trump , but Coogler stated that the line was added before Trump 's election and was simply an African proverb that his wife had found . His intention with the scene was to inspire the audience by making T'Challa seem like a real person in a familiar , real - world environment , similar to how Tony Stark was treated in Iron Man ( 2008 ) . Coogler was not mandated by Marvel to feature connections to other films , but was interested in addressing the fact that Barnes was in Wakanda ( per the end of Civil War ) because it would be fun for the audience . He did not feel the character fit in the body of the film , but felt that an end - credits scene was appropriate . Visual effects Previsualization ( top ) and completed visual effects shot of Wakanda by Industrial Light & Magic ( bottom ) Visual effects for the film were created by : Industrial Light & Magic ( ILM ) with help from Virtuos , Stereo D , and Scanline VFX ; Double Negative ; Luma Pictures ; Mammal Studios ; Method Studios ; Perception ; Rise Visual Effects Studios ; Torm Studios ; Trixter ; Cantina Creative ; Lola VFX ; Capital T ; Exceptional Minds ; Technicolor VFX ; Rodeo FX ; Imageloom VFX ; Anibrain ; Method Pune ; Bot VFX ; Pixstone Images ; Futureworks ; Vertigo Visual ; FX3X ; and Yannix Thailand Co . Previsualization was completed by Digital Domain and The Third Floor , while Perception also created the main title sequence for the film . Geoffrey Baumann served as visual effects supervisor . Comparing Black Panther to other MCU films , Baumann noted that the visual effects department often have free rein when creating otherworldly science fiction designs , but had to be more specific with this film due to the need to be authentic to African culture and geography . For the Warrior Falls environment , the amphitheater - like cliff walls had to be populated with digital spectators that could not simply be copy - and - pasted around the set due to the precise costume designs created by Carter for each tribe and character . Instead , the visual effects department had to work with the costumers to individually model each digital extra for the sequence . Additionally , visual effects were also used to adjust the opening sequence after test audiences were confusing the characters of T'Chaka and T'Challa , both dressed as the Black Panther . Artists digitally added some grey to T'Chaka's beard and gold trimmings to his suit to help differentiate the characters . ILM was primarily responsible for creating the digital urban environments of Wakanda . ILM VFX supervisor Craig Hammack compared this work to his time on Tomorrowland ( 2015 ) , but noted the additional challenge of not just building a futuristic city , but also one that was culturally appropriate . He explained that African culture has a `` certain amount of earthy material qualities that make things difficult to design as a futuristic city , '' which would typically use lots of steel and glass . ILM looked to real life examples that blend modern architecture with natural environments like One Central Park in Sydney The Pearl of Africa Hotel in Kampala , but also had to `` depart from a strict understanding of physics and go into a movie cheat world '' at times to produce the desired look . Hammack was also inspired by the architecture of Uganda , where he spent time while aerial footage for the film was being shot . 60,000 individual buildings were designed and modeled for the city , which Hammack said was the first thing ILM began work on and also the last thing they were doing when the film was completed . Other things that ILM worked on during the production included set extensions and blue - screen replacements for interior sets , and the first rhinoceros shown in the film . For T'Challa's ancestral plane scenes , ILM replaced the basic set that was used with a full CG environment including an acacia tree and animated panthers . The sky was based on the Northern Lights , with this first designed for nighttime scenes before being replicated for daytime scenes in which the animators had to work hard to keep the effects visible . ILM also added additional sand for the burial sequences so Boseman could breathe during filming , and additional flames when Killmonger burns the heart - shaped herb . Method Studios created many of the natural environments of Wakanda . The company built a 3,600 square kilometers ( 1,400 sq mi ) landscape that is visible in various aerial shots in the film , which was based on multiple landscapes from across Africa . Method was also responsible for creating Black Panther 's and Killmonger 's digital suits , including developing the look of the nanotechnology they use . They created many of the film 's digital characters , vehicles , and weapons , with some of those digital creatures being rhinoceroses for the final battle , a sequence that Method did the majority of the work for . Because these rhinoceroses did not have to be seen on screen with the one designed by ILM , only basic structures , scale , and details of the character models had to be shared between the two companies . Much of the work for the final fight included crowd simulation , with Method working alongside the stunt coordinators in motion capture sessions to give each fighter a unique style . In addition to randomizing the height and weight of each digital fighter , the models had to incorporate specific design elements from the costumers . Method also worked on the vibranium mine and Shuri 's laboratory , including animating the gadgets seen in the latter . Luma Pictures worked on the Busan car chase sequence , digitally creating the cars featured in the sequence based on CAD models and on - set reference . Multiple digital versions of the same car were created , so the production could have the actual cars crash and do various stunts with them , with Luma then inserting the digital versions to augment these moments . Luma also created the sonic forces from Klaue 's cannon , while Scanline VFX worked on digitally removing Serkis ' left arm for the London museum heist sequence . Several companies worked on the vibranium sand effects used in Wakandan technology , including ILM for the beginning of the film . Perception referenced these sand effects when creating the main - on - end titles for the film , and also did additional work on Shuri 's laboratory and the interface designs for the displays in it . Music Main article : Black Panther ( soundtrack ) After reading the script , composer Ludwig Göransson decided to go to Africa to do research for the film . He spent a month in Senegal , first traveling around with musician Baaba Maal on his tour , and then spending several weeks working with local musicians to form the `` base '' of his score . Göransson was particularly drawn to the talking drum and the tambin , or Fula flute , to use in his character themes , along with horns . Nate Moore compared the work Göransson did in defining the sound of the film to the use of music by James Gunn in the Guardians of the Galaxy films , with the composer pushing Marvel out of their comfort zone . Kendrick Lamar produced the film 's curated soundtrack , Black Panther : The Album , along with Top Dawg Entertainment founder Anthony Tiffith , after Coogler wanted to include original songs from Lamar in the film because his `` artistic themes align with those we explore in the film '' . The soundtrack features songs that are heard in the film as well as others that are inspired by it , with the other artists featured the majority of `` top - billing names '' under Top Dawg Entertainment . Göransson collaborated with Lamar and producer Sounwave on the soundtrack . Three singles from the album were released throughout January and February 2018 : `` All the Stars '' , `` King 's Dead '' , and `` Pray for Me '' . Black Panther : The Album was released on February 9 , 2018 , while a soundtrack of Göransson 's score was released on February 16 . Release Black Panther had its world premiere at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on January 29 , 2018 . The premiere featured a purple carpet that was flanked by women dressed as the Dora Milaje , while Coogler , cast members , and other guests wore African clothing at the request of Marvel for attendees to wear `` royal attire '' , honoring the African setting of the film . Ahead of the premiere screening , Coogler received an extended standing ovation before he announced the cast of the film . Black Panther was released in the United Kingdom , Hong Kong , and Taiwan on February 13 , in South Korea on February 14 , and the United States on February 16 . In the United States , the film opened in 4,020 theaters , with over 3,200 of those in 3D , 404 in IMAX , over 660 in premium large format , and over 200 D - Box locations . In addition , Black Panther was the first MCU film to be converted to ScreenX , a 270 - degree wraparound format , that played in over 101 locations in eight countries . The film opened in most markets in its first weekend of release including a `` cross-nation release '' in Africa , a first for a Disney film . Black Panther was originally scheduled for release on November 3 , 2017 , before moving to July 6 , 2018 to accommodate Spider - Man : Homecoming ( 2017 ) . It was then moved to the final February date to accommodate Ant - Man and the Wasp ( 2018 ) . Black Panther premiered in Riyadh , Saudi Arabia on April 18 , 2018 , marking the first public film screening since movie theaters were banned in the kingdom in the early 1980s after ultraconservative religious standards were introduced in 1979 . The ban was lifted in December 2017 by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman . The film premiered in a newly constructed 620 leather seat cinema , owned by AMC Theatres , in Riyadh 's King Abdullah Financial District that was originally intended to be a symphony hall . Disney 's regional distributor Italia Film revealed that 40 seconds of the film had been removed , which was in line with cuts made to the film across the region . Awwad Alawwad , Saudi Arabia 's Minister of Culture and Information , and Adam Aron , CEO of AMC Entertainment , were in attendance for the premiere along with other diplomats and industry experts ; no one from the cast or production team was in attendance . Men and women sat together at the screening , after the Saudi government relaxed enforcement of laws banning co-mingling between unrelated men and women . Black Panther screened there for five days before Avengers : Infinity War premiered on April 26 . Marketing Marvel debuted early footage and concept art from the film at a press event in April 2017 . Kyle Buchanan at Vulture.com praised the cinematography , costume and production design , and black cast , saying `` Black Panther does n't look like any of the other Marvel movies ... If this is what the future of superhero movies looks like , deal me in . '' The screened footage was the first time Marvel had shown raw dailies , which Feige said they did to show off the `` highest - class cast we 've had '' despite editing having not yet begun . A poster was released ahead of the first teaser trailer , which premiered during Game 4 of the 2017 NBA Finals . Fans on Twitter felt the poster was poorly photoshopped , and it was compared to a real - life picture of Black Panther Party co-founder Huey P. Newton . The trailer received a much more positive response , with Peter Sciretta of / Film finding it unexpected and refreshing , io9 's Charles Pulliam - Moore calling it `` every bit as intense as you were hoping it would be '' , and Andrew Husband for Uproxx feeling the single teaser outshone the entire Homecoming marketing campaign . It was viewed 89 million times in 24 hours , generating 349,000 mentions ( second only to the amount the Star Wars : The Last Jedi ( 2017 ) teaser received ) and `` dominated the conversation on social media '' over Game 4 . Per comScore and its PreAct service , the film was the subject of the most new social media conversations for the rest of the week , and the second-most for the week ending June 18 , behind Homecoming . ( L : R ) Moderator Chris Hardwick , Feige , Coogler , and the cast of Black Panther at the 2017 San Diego Comic - Con Costumes from the film were on display at D23 Expo 2017 and the 2017 San Diego Comic - Con , with Coogler , Boseman , and other members of the cast presenting exclusive footage of the film at the latter event , to a standing ovation from the audience . In September , Coogler , Gurira , and Moore participated in a panel at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation 's Annual Legislative Conference , where exclusive footage from the film was also shown and met with a positive response . On October 16 , 2017 , a full trailer was released . Dave Trumbore for Collider praised the trailer for showing an `` unmistakable sense of style '' unique to the character , while BamSmackPow 's Brendan Day felt the trailer `` does everything right . Writing for Rolling Stone , Tre Johnson felt the trailer showed T'Challa as `` someone with the arrogance of ( John ) Shaft , the coolness of ( Barack ) Obama and the hot - headed impulsiveness of Kanye West '' . A few days later , Marvel Comics published a prelude tie - in comic focusing on one of T'Challa's first missions as the Black Panther set around the time of Iron Man . The first College Football Playoff National Championship halftime show was organized by Disney for the 2018 championship game , with Kendrick Lamar performing to promote Black Panther : The Album and the beginning of ticket sales for the film . By February 12 , Black Panther was the most - tweeted about film of 2018 with more than 5 million tweets globally , and in mid-March it became the most - tweeted about film ever with 35 million . When the hastag # BlackPanther is used on Twitter a custom emoji appears . During New York Fashion Week , designers Cushnie et Ochs , Ikiré Jones , Tome , Sophie Theallet , Fear of God , Chromat , and LaQuan Smith created custom pieces that were inspired by the film for an event titled `` Welcome to Wakanda : Fashion for the Black Panther Era '' . Marvel Studios formed a partnership with Lexus on the film , with the 2018 Lexus LC being featured in it . The partnership produced a graphic novel , Black Panther : Soul of a Machine , which was released in December 2017 from writers Fabian Nicieza , Geoffrey Thorne , and Chuck Brown ; a concept coupe from Lexus inspired by the character ; and a Super Bowl LII commercial featuring Boseman and Wright , which had 4.3 million views on social media after its Super Bowl airing , according to RelishMix . Other marketing partners included shoe manufacturer Clarks creating a film - inspired variant of their Originals ' Trigenic Evo shoe ; PepsiCo and Unilever launching an arts program for young people in urban areas to be mentored by established artists ; Brisk created an interactive Black Panther installation at the 2018 NBA All - Star Game ; Lancôme highlighted a line of makeup that Nyong'o and Wright used at the film 's premiere ; and Synchrony Financial with Marvel awarded the Ghetto Film School Fellows program with a $50,000 grant , with Coogler speaking to the school 's students . Overall , Black Panther had the most expansive advertising budget and biggest line of merchandise of any Marvel non-sequel . Deadline Hollywood estimated that budget to be $140 million . Asad Ayaz , Executive Vice President of Marketing for Marvel films , said the campaign was about `` super-serving '' black audiences while still trying to appeal to all , in order to make the film `` feel like a cultural event '' . Disney and Marvel created a `` synergy program '' with the College Football Playoffs on ESPN , the ABC television series Black - ish , Grey 's Anatomy , Scandal , and How to Get Away With Murder , the Freeform series Grown - ish , and the Bravo franchise The Real Housewives . Marketing outside the United States was `` fairly uniform '' , though in the Middle East the focus was kept on Black Panther in - costume as superhero films `` just keep working '' there according to Gianluca Chakra of Middle East distributor Front Row . This was the same for Asian territories . A Wakanda exhibit was featured in malls in seven Chinese cities , along with displays showing Black Panther with other MCU characters . A special trailer created for China had Boseman explain the character 's connection to other MCU films . Weibo attended the Los Angeles premiere to take pictures and videos with the cast and crew in real time for China , the first time the company has partnered with a foreign studio for this type of engagement . Home media Black Panther was released for digital download by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment on May 8 , 2018 , and on Ultra HD Blu - ray , Blu - ray , and DVD on May 15 . The digital and Blu - ray releases included several bonus features : behind - the - scenes featurettes , audio commentary , deleted scenes , a blooper reel , an exclusive look at Ant - Man and the Wasp , and a featurette on the first ten years of the MCU .

Presale tickets The film had the fourth - highest pre-sale tickets sold on Fandango , and became the top pre-seller for a superhero film and for a film released in February as well as the first quarter of a year . The first 24 hours of ticket pre-sales on the site were the largest for a Marvel film . Black Panther also had the highest number of ticket pre-sales for any superhero film at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema , while out - selling all previous Marvel films at AMC Theatres , and having strong pre-sales at Atom Tickets . Four days before its United States opening , IMAX Entertainment CEO Greg Foster revealed that Black Panther had the most advanced IMAX ticket sales of any Marvel film , which did not appear to have peaked 10 days before opening as with most films ; Black Panther , he said , `` feels like it 's going to peak the day it opens '' . Fandango 's pre-sales ultimately accounted for 30 % of the film 's United States and Canada opening weekend gross , one of the largest box office shares for any film in Fandango 's history . United States and Canada Early projections for Black Panther 's opening weekend ranged from $80 -- 170 million , with rival film studios projecting the total to be as high as $180 -- 200 million ; Disney projected the gross to be around $150 million . It ultimately earned $75.8 million on its opening day ( including $25.2 million from Thursday night previews ) , and $242.1 million over the four - day Presidents ' Day weekend . This was the best Presidents ' Day weekend opening , and the best opening weekend for a black director and predominantly black cast . For AMC Theatres , Black Panther became the highest - grossing film ever at 33 locations , and had the biggest opening weekend for 150 of them . Overall , this was the second - largest opening weekend ever for the chain with 4.4 million admissions . Atom Tickets sold more tickets for Black Panther than any other superhero film . Anthony D'Alessandro of Deadline Hollywood described the success as `` summer box office records during the second month of the year '' . The week after its opening weekend was also strong , with a record - setting Tuesday and Thursday earnings , becoming the MCU film with the highest first - week gross . It also surpassed $300 million in eight days , becoming the fastest MCU film to do so . In its second weekend , the film earned $112 million , which was a 45 percent decrease from its opening week , the smallest decline in a second weekend for any MCU film . It was the second - best second weekend ever , and the best second weekend for a Marvel film beating The Avengers ( $103 million ) . Black Panther also became the highest - grossing film released in February , surpassing The Passion of the Christ ( 2004 ) ( $370.3 million ) . Black Panther was the first film to hold the number one spot at the box office for at least five weekends since Avatar ( 2009 ) , and the first February release to hold the top box office spot for five weekends since Wayne 's World in 1992 . The film declined over subsequent weekends , but remained in the top ten through its tenth . In its eleventh weekend , the film rose back up at the box office , in part because of the release of Avengers : Infinity War the same weekend , and the following weekend it earned $3.14 million from over 1,600 locations . D'Alessandro noted the gross from that number of locations indicated people were continuing to see Black Panther in conjunction with Infinity War . Black Panther was in the top ten again in its thirteenth weekend . In its 25th weekend , the film became the third ever to surpass $700 million .

RelishMix reported that the use of Twitter hashtags for # BlackPanther and tagging of the film 's Twitter account from those leaving the theater was the highest for a film 's opening weekend , with 559,000 unique posts in one day ( 100,000 posts for a film is average ) . Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter highlighted the actors in the film , feeling that Boseman `` certainly holds his own , but there are quite a few charismatic supporting players '' including Jordan , Nyong'o , and Wright . Peter Debruge at Variety said the film was one of the best standalone Marvel films so far , and that it `` celebrates its hero 's heritage '' . Writing for The New York Times , Manohla Dargis called Black Panther `` a jolt of a movie '' , and praised it as an `` emblem of a past that was denied and a future that feels very present '' due to its focus on black imagination , creation , and liberation . At the Los Angeles Times , Kenneth Turan praised the themes of the film and their exploration of what wealthy countries owe to the poor and oppressed , and noted that the film `` draws energy from Coogler 's sense of excitement at all he 's attempting '' , saying that the film was worth seeing twice which he felt was rare for a modern superhero film . Richard Roeper , writing for the Chicago Sun - Times , called the film `` one of the best superhero movies of the century '' and said audiences should watch the film if they appreciate `` finely honed storytelling with a Shakespearean core ; winning performances from an enormously talented ensemble ; provocative premises touching on isolationism , revolution and cultures of oppression , and oh yeah , tons of whiz - bang action sequences and good humor '' . Brian Truitt of USA Today awarded the film four out of four stars , and called it Marvel Studios ' best origin film since Guardians of the Galaxy . Truitt also praised the `` superb cast '' and stated , `` While the themes are deep , Black Panther is at the same time a visual joy to behold , with confident quirkiness , insane action sequences and special effects , and the glorious reveal of Wakanda '' . Also giving the film four stars , Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called it unlike any other Marvel film , `` an exhilarating triumph on every level from writing , directing , acting , production design , costumes , music , special effects to you name it '' . Natasha Alford of The Grio called the film a `` movement , a revolution in progress , and a joy to experience all wrapped into one '' , and called it `` a master class in what it means to be proud of who you are '' . Jamie Broadnax of Black Girl Nerds called the film a masterpiece that is `` afro - futuristic and Blackity - black as hell . It 's everything I 've ever desired in a live - action version of this popular superhero and yet so much more . '' Jamelle Bouie of Slate said , `` it is fair to say that Black Panther is the most political movie ever produced by Marvel Studios , both in its very existence ... and in the questions its story raises . '' He added that the film should be included with Superman ( 1978 ) , Spider - Man 2 ( 2004 ) , and The Dark Knight as superhero films that do not `` transcend the genre as much as they embrace it in all its respects '' . Bouie concluded , `` Black Panther could have been just another Marvel romp ( but ) Coogler and company had the power , and perhaps the responsibility , to do much more . And they did . '' Although praising the film itself and calling it a `` refreshing answer to the increasingly stale world of superhero cinema '' , Devindra Hardawar at Engadget was critical of the CGI , notably the digital actors used , calling them `` weightless , ugly and , worst of all , incredibly distracting '' . Hardawar felt two `` particularly disappointing '' CGI shots were when T'Challa flips over a car during the Korea chase , and when T'Challa and Kilmonger punch each other as they fall within the vibranium mines . Analysis Cultural importance Many have wondered why Black Panther means so much to the black community and why schools , churches and organizations have come to the theaters with so much excitement . The answer is that the movie brings a moment of positivity to a group of people often not the centerpiece of Hollywood movies . Plus , what we know from the research on racial and ethnic socialization is that it helps to strengthen identity and helps reduce the likelihood on internalizing negative stereotypes about one 's ethnic group . -- Erlanger Turner , assistant professor of Psychology at the University of Houston -- Downtown Writing for Time , Jamil Smith felt Black Panther would prove to Hollywood that African - American films can generate profits from `` all audiences '' , and described it as a resistance to `` a regressive cultural and political moment fueled in part by the white - nativist movement ... Its themes challenge institutional bias , its characters take unsubtle digs at oppressors , and its narrative includes prismatic perspectives on black life and tradition . '' Discussing the film as a defining moment for black America in The New York Times Magazine , Carvell Wallace said that in contrast to earlier black superhero films , Black Panther `` is steeped very specifically and purposefully in its blackness '' . He felt Wakanda would become a `` promised land '' for future generations of black Americans , `` untroubled by the criminal horrors of our ( current ) American existence . '' Historian Nathan D.B. Connolly said Black Panther was `` a powerful fictional analogy for real - life struggles '' that taps into a `` 500 - year history of African - descended people imagining freedom , land and national autonomy . '' Connolly also felt , culturally , the film would be this generation 's A Raisin in the Sun ( 1961 ) . Writer and activist Shaun King found the film to be a cultural moment in American black history similar to Rosa Parks ' Montgomery bus boycott , Martin Luther King Jr. 's `` I Have a Dream '' speech , or Barack Obama being elected president . By contrast , James Wilt , writing for Canadian Dimension , stated that `` at its core , Black Panther contains a fundamentally reactionary understanding of black liberation that blatantly advocates respectability politics over revolution '' allowing `` white folks such as myself to feel extremely comfortable watching it '' . Wilt found the scene where Ross is portrayed as `` the hero '' for shooting down the Wakandan ships to be the film 's way of endorsing the crushing of armed revolt against oppression . Wilt also felt that Killmonger was given the `` most hideous traits imaginable ( making ) the only major African - American character and agitator for revolution a manic killer consumed by rage and violence '' . Russell Rickford of Africa is a Country agreed with Wilt 's assessment of Killmonger , whose role as a character is `` to discredit radical internationalism '' . Faisal Kutty from Middle East Eye felt the film had underlying Islamophobic themes , with the only Islamic characters being a Boko Haram - based group that kidnapped several girls and forced them to wear hijab . Science & Entertainment Exchange Director for the National Academy of Sciences Richard Loverd felt the film would increase interest in science , technology , and Africa for young black Americans , similarly to how The Hunger Games films and Brave ( 2012 ) sparked girls ' interest in archery . Broadnax felt many people of color who generally do not watch comic book films would go to Black Panther since `` they 're going to see themselves reflected in a huge way that they just have n't been able to see before '' , especially since the film avoided black pain , suffering , and poverty , usual topics in films about the black experience . She added that the strong female characters , such as Shuri , would be an inspiration for girls . Gil Robertson , co-founder and president of the African American Film Critics Association , called the film `` critically important '' and `` a gate - opener opportunity for other black - centered projects '' . Child development expert Deborah Gilboa felt the film would make a huge impact on children 's spirits by offering positive role models . Tre Johnson of Rolling Stone felt that `` after decades of trying to nail the modern black superhero , we may finally be getting what we 've asked for '' , with Johnson saying Black Panther felt different from the Blaxploitation films of the 1970s and the `` Blaxploitation - lite '' attempts at black superhero films in the 1990s and 2000s because it was `` respectable , imaginative and powerful '' , setting `` a new direction '' for the depiction of black superheroes . In the film 's opening weekend , 37 % of audiences in the United States were African - American , according to PostTrak , compared to 35 % Caucasian , 18 % Hispanic , and 5 % Asian . This was the most diverse audience for a superhero film ever , for which African - Americans generally make up 15 % of audiences . In its second weekend , demographics were 37 % Caucasian , 33 % African American , 18 % Hispanic and 7 % Asian . In early January 2018 , Frederick Joseph created a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for children of color at the Boys & Girls Club in Harlem to see Black Panther . Joseph said the film was a rare opportunity for underserved children of color to see a major black comic character brought to film . Joseph promoted the campaign with Boseman on The Ellen DeGeneres Show . The campaign went on to raise over $45,000 , exceeding its goal . Joseph planned to donate excess money from the campaign to other programs for children in Harlem , and started the `` Black Panther Challenge '' where he encouraged others to create similar campaigns for their communities . GoFundMe created a centralized page for anyone wishing to create a campaign for the challenge . Over 400 additional campaigns were started around the world , and the overall campaign became the largest GoFundMe in history for an entertainment event , raising over $400,000 . Many celebrities offered their support and contributions to the campaigns , including Ellen DeGeneres , Snoop Dogg , Chelsea Clinton , J.J. Abrams , Octavia Spencer , and British actress Jade Anouka . In June 2018 , the Smithsonian Institution 's National Museum of African American History and Culture announced they had acquired several items from the film for their collection , including Boseman 's Black Panther costume and a shooting script for the film signed by Coogler , Feige , Moore , and Cole . The museum said that the collection provides a `` fuller story of black culture and identity '' by showing the progression of black Americans in film , `` an industry that ( once ) regulated them to flat , one - dimensional and marginalized figures . '' African and African - American representation Dwayne Wong ( Omowale ) writing in HuffPost saw the film and its comic origins as addressing `` serious political issues concerning Africa 's relationship to the West that is very rarely given the serious attention that it deserves '' , with Wakandans portrayed as suspicious towards outsiders . He concluded that while the country is fictional , the politics `` are very real . The end of colonialism did not end Western tampering in Africa 's politics '' . Carlos Rosario Gonzalez of Bam ! Smack ! Pow ! said the struggle between T'Challa and Killmonger represents the collision of `` what it means to be African `` and `` what Africa means to Afro - minorities today '' . In this view , Wakanda represents Africa without Western colonialism , and Killmonger shows us that `` we can sometimes inevitably become what we seek to destroy , '' concluding that Killmonger wants to use Wakanda 's resources to become a colonizer of the West while `` Wakanda 's conservative ways created the very problem that sought to destroy them , Erik Killmonger '' . Jelani Cobb , writing in The New Yorker , discussed the divide between Africans and African - Americans , which he called a `` fundamental dissonance '' . He felt T'Challa and Killmonger represented `` dueling responses to five centuries of African exploitation at the hands of the West . The villain , to the extent that the term applies , is history itself '' . Cobb added that Black Panther is political in a way previous MCU films were not because in those `` we were at least clear about where the lines of fantasy departed from reality ( while this film is set in ) in an invented nation in Africa , a continent that has been grappling with invented versions of itself ever since white men first declared it the ' dark continent ' and set about plundering its people and its resources . '' Patrick Gathara , writing in The Washington Post , described the film as offering a `` regressive , neocolonial vision of Africa '' , which -- rather than a `` redemptive counter-mythology '' -- offers `` the same destructive myths '' . Gathara highlighted the Africa that is portrayed , still essentially a European creation , as being divided and tribalized , with Wakanda run by a wealthy and feuding elite that despite its advanced technical abilities does not have a means of succession beyond lethal combat . The Wakandans `` still cleanly fit into the Western molds ( of ) a dark people in a dark continent '' according to Gathara , and they `` remain so remarkably unsophisticated that a ' returning ' American can basically stroll in and take over ... ( The film ) should not be mistaken for an attempt at liberating Africa from Europe . Quite the opposite . Its ' redemptive counter-mythology ' entrenches the tropes that have been used to dehumanize Africans for centuries . '' Christopher Lebron , in a piece for Boston Review , called the film `` racist '' because it depicts black Americans who had been left in poverty and oppression , as exemplified by Killmonger , as still being `` relegated to the lowest rung of political regard '' in the film , treated as less deserving of empathy and less capable of their acts being deemed heroic , than even Ross ' white spy . Lebron felt that T'Challa could have shown himself a good person by understanding how Killmonger was affected by American racism and T'Chaka's `` cruelty '' , and could have agreed that justice sometimes requires violence as a last resort against oppression . He summed up by commenting that `` In 2018 , a world home to both the Movement for Black Lives and a president ( Donald Trump ) who identifies white supremacists as fine people , we are given a movie about black empowerment where the only redeemed blacks are African nobles ( who ) safeguard virtue and goodness against the threat not of white Americans or Europeans , but a black American '' . Accolades Main article : List of accolades received by Black Panther ( film ) Black Panther was nominated for two BET Awards ( winning one ) , one Billboard Music Award , eight Golden Trailer Awards ( winning four ) , seven MTV Movie & TV Awards ( winning four ) , fourteen Saturn Awards ( winning five ) , and eleven Teen Choice Awards . Future With the release of Black Panther , Feige said `` there are many , many stories to tell '' about the character , and that he wanted Coogler to return for any potential sequel . Coogler added that he wanted to see how T'Challa would grow as a king in future films , since his reign only began recently in the MCU , while in the comics , he has been king since childhood . In March 2018 , Feige added there was `` nothing specific to reveal '' in terms of a sequel , but that there `` absolutely '' were `` ideas and a pretty solid direction on where we want to head with the second one '' .

Lotus Flower (song)
Lotus Flower ( song ) - wikipedia Lotus Flower ( song ) Jump to : navigation , search For Schumann 's setting of Heine 's poem , see Die Lotosblume . `` Lotus Flower '' Song by Radiohead from the album The King of Limbs Released 18 February 2011 ( 2011 - 02 - 18 ) Format Music download Genre Indietronica alternative dance Length 5 : 00 Label Ticker Tape XL Songwriter ( s ) Radiohead Producer ( s ) Nigel Godrich The King of Limbs track listing `` Bloom '' `` Morning Mr Magpie '' `` Little By Little '' `` Feral '' `` Lotus Flower '' `` Codex '' `` Give Up the Ghost '' `` Separator '' Music video `` Lotus Flower '' on YouTube `` Lotus Flower '' is a song by the English alternative rock band Radiohead , released on their eighth studio album The King of Limbs ( 2011 ) . It features singer Thom Yorke 's falsetto over syncopated beats and a `` propulsive '' bass line . Its music video , featuring Yorke 's erratic dancing , spawned an internet meme . Despite not being released as a single , `` Lotus Flower '' charted on the UK Singles Chart , the Ultratop 50 , the US Alternative Songs chart and the US Rock Songs chart . It received positive reviews and was nominated for Best Rock Performance , Best Rock Song , and Best Music Video at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background and recording 2 Composition 3 Reception 4 Music video 5 Chart performance 6 Notes Background and recording ( edit ) On tour with his band Atoms for Peace , singer Thom Yorke debuted a solo acoustic version of `` Lotus Flower '' at the Echoplex in Los Angeles on 2 October 2009 . Like the rest of The King of Limbs , the song was possibly recorded in the house of actress Drew Barrymore , who is thanked in the album 's liner notes . Composition ( edit ) `` Lotus Flower '' This sample of the song contains part of the chorus and title lyric . Problems playing this file ? See media help . According to the NME , `` Lotus Flower '' combines the `` keyboard - and - drum machine sound '' of Radiohead 's fourth album Kid A ( 2000 ) with the `` sonic warmth '' of their seventh album In Rainbows ( 2007 ) . It features Yorke 's `` Prince - like '' falsetto over syncopated beats and a synthesized `` propulsive '' bass line . Though the main percussion beat is in 4 / 4 time , the hand claps are in 5 / 8 time , creating a metric dissonance . The song has a more traditional song structure than the first half of The King of Limbs ; Luke Lewis of the NME described it as `` probably the only song on The King of Limbs with an actual chorus '' , and speculated that the lyrics are about `` transcendence , self - effacement '' , and `` the magic of losing yourself in music and the senses '' . Reception ( edit ) The song received positive reviews from critics . Billboard and The New York Times praised it as The King of Limbs 's best track . The A.V. Club described it as `` a sensually slinky come - on that 's one remix away from being a dance - floor favorite '' . The Independent described the song as `` not exactly a singalong anthem '' but `` just blank and cryptic enough to sustain various interpretations '' . The NME called it `` subtle but powerful '' . It was nominated for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards . Music video ( edit ) Garth Jennings directed the `` Lotus Flower '' music video . Radiohead released a music video for `` Lotus Flower '' on their YouTube channel on February 16 , 2011 . It features black - and - white footage of Yorke dancing erratically . It was directed by Hammer & Tongs member Garth Jennings and choreographed by Wayne McGregor . The video sparked the `` Dancing Thom Yorke '' internet meme , whereby people replaced the video 's audio or edited the visuals , and led to the hashtag `` # thomdance '' to become a trending topic on Twitter . The video received positive reviews from critics . IndieWire wrote that director Jennings had turned Yorke 's `` spastic '' dancing into art that it was `` bizarrely compelling ... with Yorke 's flailing , curiously spellbinding limbs as the main attraction '' . Metro praised Yorke 's performance , writing that `` somehow , even though he seems to be mass of tangled limbs in the grip of an attack of some sort , it works '' , but criticised the video set as `` sparse to say the least '' . The video was nominated for Best Music Video at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards .

I Want You Back
I Want You Back - wikipedia I Want You Back Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the Jackson 5 song . For other uses , see I Want You Back ( disambiguation ) . `` I Want You Back '' Single by The Jackson 5 from the album Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5 B - side `` Who 's Lovin ' You '' Released October 7 , 1969 ( U.S. ) Format Vinyl record ( 7 '' 45 RPM ) Recorded July 1969 The Sound Factory , West Hollywood Genre Pop , soul Length 2 : 59 Label Motown M 1157 Songwriter ( s ) The Corporation -- ( Berry Gordy Freddie Perren Alphonso Mizell Deke Richards ) Producer ( s ) The Corporation The Jackson 5 singles chronology `` We Do n't Have to Be Over 21 ( To Fall in Love ) '' ( String Module Error : Match not found ) `` I Want You Back '' ( 1969 ) `` ABC '' ( 1970 ) `` We Do n't Have to Be Over 21 ( To Fall in Love ) '' ( Steeltown 1968 ) `` I Want You Back '' ( 1969 ) `` ABC '' ( 1970 ) `` I Want You Back '' is a 1969 song by the Jackson 5 which became a number - one hit for the band and the Motown label in early 1970 . The song , along with a B - side cover of `` Who 's Lovin ' You '' by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles , was the only single used in the Jackson 5 's first album , Diana Ross Presents the Jackson 5 . It went to number one on the Soul singles chart for four weeks and held the number - one position on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for the week ending January 31 , 1970 . `` I Want You Back '' was ranked 121st on Rolling Stone 's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time . Contents ( hide ) 1 Production 2 Live performances 3 Reception and legacy 4 Personnel 5 Chart performance 5.1 Weekly charts 5.2 Year - end charts 6 References 7 External links Production ( edit ) Originally considered for Gladys Knight & the Pips and later for Diana Ross , as `` I Wanna Be Free '' , `` I Want You Back '' explores the theme of a lover who decides that he was too hasty in dropping his partner . An unusual aspect about `` I Want You Back '' was that its main lead vocal was performed by a tween , Michael Jackson . `` I Want You Back '' was released on October 7 , 1969 and was the first Jackson 5 single to be released by Motown and the first song written and produced by The Corporation , a team comprising Motown chief Berry Gordy , Freddie Perren , Alphonso Mizell , and Deke Richards . It also is the first of four Jackson 5 number - ones released in a row ( the others being `` ABC '' -- 1970 , `` The Love You Save '' -- 1970 , and `` I 'll Be There '' -- 1970 ) and the first Jackson 5 song recorded in Los Angeles , California ; the quintet had previously been recording Bobby Taylor - produced covers , including `` Who 's Lovin ' You '' , the B - side to `` I Want You Back '' , at Hitsville U.S.A. in Detroit , Michigan . The `` I Want You Back '' bassline is considered by many as the greatest of all time and thus has sparked many debates about who played the bass during the recording . Famously The Funk Brothers were Motown 's backup musicians and after the company 's relocation to Los Angeles band members changed . Many tend to believe that it was James Jamerson who played the bass during recording but he was most active from 1962 - 1968 . During the later years of his career Jamerson had grown unreliable due to substance abuse . Most evidence suggest that a new member of the Funk Brothers , Wilton Felder , was the one who played the bass along with Bob Babbitt . Although Gladys Knight had been the first to mention the Jacksons to Berry Gordy , and Bobby Taylor brought the Jackson brothers to Motown , Motown credited Diana Ross with discovering them . This was done not only to help promote the Jackson 5 , but also to help ease Ross ' transition into a solo career , which she began in 1970 soon after the Jackson 5 became a success . Live performances ( edit ) The Jackson 5 performed `` I Want You Back '' during all of their world tours , either as a full song or as a part of the Jackson 5 Medley in concerts ( which also included `` ABC '' and `` Mama 's Pearl '' , later on switched with `` The Love You Save '' in 1973 ) . During their second - ever television appearance ( in an episode of The Hollywood Palace hosted by Diana Ross & the Supremes ) , the Jackson 5 performed `` I Want You Back '' along with Sly & the Family Stone 's `` Sing a Simple Song , '' The Delfonics ' `` Can You Remember , '' and James Brown 's `` There Was a Time '' . They also performed the song on American Bandstand and the Andy Williams Show . Michael Jackson performed the song as part of the `` Jackson 5 Medley '' ( which also included the songs `` The Love You Save '' and `` I 'll Be There '' ) during all of his world tours - the Bad World Tour , the Dangerous World Tour and the HIStory World Tour . The song was to be performed at Jackson 's This Is It comeback concerts in London , which were cancelled due to his death . The song was performed live at the Michael Jackson : 30th Anniversary Special in 2001 , in which Jackson reunited with his brothers on stage for the first time since 1984 . Reception and legacy ( edit ) The song has sold six million copies worldwide . In 1999 , `` I Want You Back '' was also inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame . `` I Want You Back '' ranks number 121 on Rolling Stone 's list of the ' 500 Greatest Songs of All Time ' . It also ranks ninth on Rolling Stone 's list of the ' 100 Greatest Pop Songs since 1963 ' . In 2006 , Pitchfork Media named it the second best song of the 1960s , adding that the chorus contains `` possibly the best chord progression in pop music history . '' A June 2009 article by The Daily Telegraph called it `` arguably the greatest pop record of all time '' . Digital Spy called the song `` one of the most enduring pop singles of the sixties '' . The single has been awarded Silver certification on August 22 , 2014 by the British Phonographic Industry Association . `` I Want You Back '' has long been considered one of the most sampled songs in all of Hip hop music . The song has been sampled over 60 times since its release in 1969 . Prominent artists such as Jay - Z , The Notorious B.I.G. and Justin Bieber have all used parts of the song producing some of their biggest hits . The song is also considered to be one of the greatest Chord progression s in Pop music . In 2009 the indie duo Discovery covered the song for their album LP .

who was the lead singer in i want you back
[ "Originally considered for Gladys Knight & the Pips and later for Diana Ross, as \"I Wanna Be Free\", \"I Want You Back\" explores the theme of a lover who decides that he was too hasty in dropping his partner. An unusual aspect about \"I Want You Back\" was that its main lead vocal was performed by a tween, Michael Jackson." ]

Rabindranath Tagore
Rabindranath Tagore - Wikipedia Rabindranath Tagore Jump to : navigation , search `` Tagore '' redirects here . For other uses , see Tagore ( disambiguation ) . Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore Tagore ( c. 1925 ) Native name রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর Rabindranath Thakur ( 1861 - 05 - 07 ) 7 May 1861 Calcutta , British India 7 August 1941 ( 1941 - 08 - 07 ) ( aged 80 ) Calcutta , British India Occupation Writer , song composer , playwright , essayist , painter Language Bengali , English Nationality British Indian Literary movement Contextual Modernism Notable works Gitanjali , Gora , Ghare - Baire , Jana Gana Mana , Rabindra Sangeet , Amar Shonar Bangla ( other works ) Notable awards Nobel Prize in Literature 1913 Spouse Mrinalini Devi ( m . 1883 -- 1902 ) Children 5 ( two of whom died in childhood ) Relatives Tagore family Signature Santiniketan Shilaidaha Jorasanko , Kolkata Locations of places associated with Rabindranath Tagore Rabindranath Tagore FRAS ( / rəˈbɪndrənɑːt tæˈɡɔːr / ( listen ) ; Bengali : ( robind̪ronat̪h ʈhakur ) ) , also written Ravīndranātha Ṭhākura ( 7 May 1861 -- 7 August 1941 ) , sobriquet Gurudev , was a Bengali polymath who reshaped Bengali literature and music , as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries . Author of Gitanjali and its `` profoundly sensitive , fresh and beautiful verse '' , he became in 1913 the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature . Tagore 's poetic songs were viewed as spiritual and mercurial ; however , his `` elegant prose and magical poetry '' remain largely unknown outside Bengal . He is sometimes referred to as `` the Bard of Bengal '' . A Pirali Brahmin from Calcutta with ancestral gentry roots in Jessore , Tagore wrote poetry as an eight - year - old . At the age of sixteen , he released his first substantial poems under the pseudonym Bhānusiṃha ( `` Sun Lion '' ) , which were seized upon by literary authorities as long - lost classics . By 1877 he graduated to his first short stories and dramas , published under his real name . As a humanist , universalist internationalist , and ardent anti-nationalist , he denounced the British Raj and advocated independence from Britain . As an exponent of the Bengal Renaissance , he advanced a vast canon that comprised paintings , sketches and doodles , hundreds of texts , and some two thousand songs ; his legacy also endures in the institution he founded , Visva - Bharati University . Tagore modernised Bengali art by spurning rigid classical forms and resisting linguistic strictures . His novels , stories , songs , dance - dramas , and essays spoke to topics political and personal . Gitanjali ( Song Offerings ) , Gora ( Fair - Faced ) and Ghare - Baire ( The Home and the World ) are his best - known works , and his verse , short stories , and novels were acclaimed -- or panned -- for their lyricism , colloquialism , naturalism , and unnatural contemplation . His compositions were chosen by two nations as national anthems : India 's Jana Gana Mana and Bangladesh 's Amar Shonar Bangla . The Sri Lankan national anthem was inspired by his work .

The last two days a storm has been raging , similar to the description in my song -- Jhauro jhauro borishe baridhara ( ... amidst it ) a hapless , homeless man drenched from top to toe standing on the roof of his steamer ( ... ) the last two days I have been singing this song over and over ( ... ) as a result the pelting sound of the intense rain , the wail of the wind , the sound of the heaving Gorai ( R ) iver , have assumed a fresh life and found a new language and I have felt like a major actor in this new musical drama unfolding before me . `` '' -- Letter to Indira Devi . Tagore and his wife Mrinalini Devi , 1883 Tagore was raised mostly by servants ; his mother had died in his early childhood and his father travelled widely . The Tagore family was at the forefront of the Bengal renaissance . They hosted the publication of literary magazines ; theatre and recitals of Bengali and Western classical music featured there regularly . Tagore 's father invited several professional Dhrupad musicians to stay in the house and teach Indian classical music to the children . Tagore 's oldest brother Dwijendranath was a philosopher and poet . Another brother , Satyendranath , was the first Indian appointed to the elite and formerly all - European Indian Civil Service . Yet another brother , Jyotirindranath , was a musician , composer , and playwright . His sister Swarnakumari became a novelist . Jyotirindranath 's wife Kadambari Devi , slightly older than Tagore , was a dear friend and powerful influence . Her abrupt suicide in 1884 , soon after he married , left him profoundly distraught for years . Tagore largely avoided classroom schooling and preferred to roam the manor or nearby Bolpur and Panihati , which the family visited . His brother Hemendranath tutored and physically conditioned him -- by having him swim the Ganges or trek through hills , by gymnastics , and by practising judo and wrestling . He learned drawing , anatomy , geography and history , literature , mathematics , Sanskrit , and English -- his least favourite subject . Tagore loathed formal education -- his scholarly travails at the local Presidency College spanned a single day . Years later he held that proper teaching does not explain things ; proper teaching stokes curiosity : After his upanayan ( coming - of - age ) rite at age eleven , Tagore and his father left Calcutta in February 1873 to tour India for several months , visiting his father 's Santiniketan estate and Amritsar before reaching the Himalayan hill station of Dalhousie . There Tagore read biographies , studied history , astronomy , modern science , and Sanskrit , and examined the classical poetry of Kālidāsa . During his 1 - month stay at Amritsar in 1873 he was greatly influenced by melodious gurbani and nanak bani being sung at Golden Temple for which both father and son were regular visitors . He mentions about this in his ' MY REMINISCENCES ( 1912 ) The golden temple of Amritsar comes back to me like a dream . Many a morning have I accompanied my father to this Gurudarbar of the Sikhs in the middle of the lake . There the sacred chanting resounds continually . My father , seated amidst the throng of worshippers , would sometimes add his voice to the hymn of praise , and finding a stranger joining in their devotions they would wax enthusiastically cordial , and we would return loaded with the sanctified offerings of sugar crystals and other sweets . He wrote 6 poems relating to Sikhism and a number of articles in Bengali child magazine about Sikhism . Tagore returned to Jorosanko and completed a set of major works by 1877 , one of them a long poem in the Maithili style of Vidyapati . As a joke , he claimed that these were the lost works of ( what he claimed was ) a newly discovered 17th - century Vaiṣṇava poet Bhānusiṃha . Regional experts accepted them as the lost works of Bhānusiṃha . He debuted in the short - story genre in Bengali with `` Bhikharini '' ( `` The Beggar Woman '' ) . Published in the same year , Sandhya Sangit ( 1882 ) includes the poem `` Nirjharer Swapnabhanga '' ( `` The Rousing of the Waterfall '' ) . Shelaidaha : 1878 -- 1901 Tagore 's house in Shelaidaha , Bangladesh Because Debendranath wanted his son to become a barrister , Tagore enrolled at a public school in Brighton , East Sussex , England in 1878 . He stayed for several months at a house that the Tagore family owned near Brighton and Hove , in Medina Villas ; in 1877 his nephew and niece -- Suren and Indira Devi , the children of Tagore 's brother Satyendranath -- were sent together with their mother , Tagore 's sister - in - law , to live with him . He briefly read law at University College London , but again left school , opting instead for independent study of Shakespeare 's plays Coriolanus , and Antony and Cleopatra and the Religio Medici of Thomas Browne . Lively English , Irish , and Scottish folk tunes impressed Tagore , whose own tradition of Nidhubabu - authored kirtans and tappas and Brahmo hymnody was subdued . In 1880 he returned to Bengal degree-less , resolving to reconcile European novelty with Brahmo traditions , taking the best from each . After returning to Bengal , Tagore regularly published poems , stories , and novels . These had a profound impact within Bengal itself but received little national attention . In 1883 he married 10 - year - old Mrinalini Devi , born Bhabatarini , 1873 -- 1902 ( this was a common practice at the time ) . They had five children , two of whom died in childhood . Tagore family boat ( bajra or budgerow ) , the `` Padma '' . In 1890 Tagore began managing his vast ancestral estates in Shelaidaha ( today a region of Bangladesh ) ; he was joined there by his wife and children in 1898 . Tagore released his Manasi poems ( 1890 ) , among his best - known work . As Zamindar Babu , Tagore criss - crossed the Padma River in command of the Padma , the luxurious family barge ( also known as `` budgerow '' ) . He collected mostly token rents and blessed villagers who in turn honoured him with banquets -- occasionally of dried rice and sour milk . He met Gagan Harkara , through whom he became familiar with Baul Lalon Shah , whose folk songs greatly influenced Tagore . Tagore worked to popularise Lalon 's songs . The period 1891 -- 1895 , Tagore 's Sadhana period , named after one of his magazines , was his most productive ; in these years he wrote more than half the stories of the three - volume , 84 - story Galpaguchchha . Its ironic and grave tales examined the voluptuous poverty of an idealised rural Bengal . Santiniketan : 1901 -- 1932 Main article : Middle years of Rabindranath Tagore Tsinghua University , 1924 In 1901 Tagore moved to Santiniketan to found an ashram with a marble - floored prayer hall -- The Mandir -- an experimental school , groves of trees , gardens , a library . There his wife and two of his children died . His father died in 1905 . He received monthly payments as part of his inheritance and income from the Maharaja of Tripura , sales of his family 's jewellery , his seaside bungalow in Puri , and a derisory 2,000 rupees in book royalties . He gained Bengali and foreign readers alike ; he published Naivedya ( 1901 ) and Kheya ( 1906 ) and translated poems into free verse . In November 1913 , Tagore learned he had won that year 's Nobel Prize in Literature : the Swedish Academy appreciated the idealistic -- and for Westerners -- accessible nature of a small body of his translated material focused on the 1912 Gitanjali : Song Offerings . He was awarded a knighthood by King George V in the 1915 Birthday Honours , but renounced it after the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre . In 1921 , Tagore and agricultural economist Leonard Elmhirst set up the `` Institute for Rural Reconstruction '' , later renamed Shriniketan or `` Abode of Welfare '' , in Surul , a village near the ashram . With it , Tagore sought to moderate Gandhi 's Swaraj protests , which he occasionally blamed for British India 's perceived mental -- and thus ultimately colonial -- decline . He sought aid from donors , officials , and scholars worldwide to `` free village ( s ) from the shackles of helplessness and ignorance '' by `` vitalis ( ing ) knowledge '' . In the early 1930s he targeted ambient `` abnormal caste consciousness '' and untouchability . He lectured against these , he penned Dalit heroes for his poems and his dramas , and he campaigned -- successfully -- to open Guruvayoor Temple to Dalits . Twilight years : 1932 -- 1941 Germany , 1931 Last picture of Rabindranath , 1941 Dutta and Robinson describe this phase of Tagore 's life as being one of a `` peripatetic litterateur '' . It affirmed his opinion that human divisions were shallow . During a May 1932 visit to a Bedouin encampment in the Iraqi desert , the tribal chief told him that `` Our prophet has said that a true Muslim is he by whose words and deeds not the least of his brother - men may ever come to any harm ... '' Tagore confided in his diary : `` I was startled into recognizing in his words the voice of essential humanity . '' To the end Tagore scrutinised orthodoxy -- and in 1934 , he struck . That year , an earthquake hit Bihar and killed thousands . Gandhi hailed it as seismic karma , as divine retribution avenging the oppression of Dalits . Tagore rebuked him for his seemingly ignominious implications . He mourned the perennial poverty of Calcutta and the socioeconomic decline of Bengal , and detailed these newly plebeian aesthetics in an unrhymed hundred - line poem whose technique of searing double - vision foreshadowed Satyajit Ray 's film Apur Sansar . Fifteen new volumes appeared , among them prose - poem works Punashcha ( 1932 ) , Shes Saptak ( 1935 ) , and Patraput ( 1936 ) . Experimentation continued in his prose - songs and dance - dramas -- Chitra ( 1914 ) , Shyama ( 1939 ) , and Chandalika ( 1938 ) -- and in his novels -- Dui Bon ( 1933 ) , Malancha ( 1934 ) , and Char Adhyay ( 1934 ) . Clouds come floating into my life , no longer to carry rain or usher storm , but to add color to my sunset sky . `` '' -- Verse 292 , Stray Birds , 1916 . Tagore 's remit expanded to science in his last years , as hinted in Visva - Parichay , a 1937 collection of essays . His respect for scientific laws and his exploration of biology , physics , and astronomy informed his poetry , which exhibited extensive naturalism and verisimilitude . He wove the process of science , the narratives of scientists , into stories in Se ( 1937 ) , Tin Sangi ( 1940 ) , and Galpasalpa ( 1941 ) . His last five years were marked by chronic pain and two long periods of illness . These began when Tagore lost consciousness in late 1937 ; he remained comatose and near death for a time . This was followed in late 1940 by a similar spell , from which he never recovered . Poetry from these valetudinary years is among his finest . A period of prolonged agony ended with Tagore 's death on 7 August 1941 , aged eighty ; he was in an upstairs room of the Jorasanko mansion he was raised in . The date is still mourned . A.K. Sen , brother of the first chief election commissioner , received dictation from Tagore on 30 July 1941 , a day prior to a scheduled operation : his last poem . I 'm lost in the middle of my birthday . I want my friends , their touch , with the earth 's last love . I will take life 's final offering , I will take the human 's last blessing . Today my sack is empty . I have given completely whatever I had to give . In return if I receive anything -- some love , some forgiveness -- then I will take it with me when I step on the boat that crosses to the festival of the wordless end . Travels Jawaharlal Nehru and Rabindranath Tagore Our passions and desires are unruly , but our character subdues these elements into a harmonious whole . Does something similar to this happen in the physical world ? Are the elements rebellious , dynamic with individual impulse ? And is there a principle in the physical world which dominates them and puts them into an orderly organization ? `` '' -- Interviewed by Einstein , 14 April 1930 . Rabindranath with Einstein in 1930 At the Majlis ( Iranian parliament ) in Tehran , Iran , 1932 Between 1878 and 1932 , Tagore set foot in more than thirty countries on five continents . In 1912 , he took a sheaf of his translated works to England , where they gained attention from missionary and Gandhi protégé Charles F. Andrews , Irish poet William Butler Yeats , Ezra Pound , Robert Bridges , Ernest Rhys , Thomas Sturge Moore , and others . Yeats wrote the preface to the English translation of Gitanjali ; Andrews joined Tagore at Santiniketan . In November 1912 Tagore began touring the United States and the United Kingdom , staying in Butterton , Staffordshire with Andrews 's clergymen friends . From May 1916 until April 1917 , he lectured in Japan and the United States . He denounced nationalism . His essay `` Nationalism in India '' was scorned and praised ; it was admired by Romain Rolland and other pacifists . Shortly after returning home the 63 - year - old Tagore accepted an invitation from the Peruvian government . He travelled to Mexico . Each government pledged US $ 100,000 to his school to commemorate the visits . A week after his 6 November 1924 arrival in Buenos Aires , an ill Tagore shifted to the Villa Miralrío at the behest of Victoria Ocampo . He left for home in January 1925 . In May 1926 Tagore reached Naples ; the next day he met Mussolini in Rome . Their warm rapport ended when Tagore pronounced upon Il Duce 's fascist finesse . He had earlier enthused : `` ( w ) ithout any doubt he is a great personality . There is such a massive vigour in that head that it reminds one of Michael Angelo 's chisel . '' A `` fire - bath '' of fascism was to have educed `` the immortal soul of Italy ... clothed in quenchless light '' . On 14 July 1927 Tagore and two companions began a four - month tour of Southeast Asia . They visited Bali , Java , Kuala Lumpur , Malacca , Penang , Siam , and Singapore . The resultant travelogues compose Jatri ( 1929 ) . In early 1930 he left Bengal for a nearly year - long tour of Europe and the United States . Upon returning to Britain -- and as his paintings were exhibited in Paris and London -- he lodged at a Birmingham Quaker settlement . He wrote his Oxford Hibbert Lectures and spoke at the annual London Quaker meet . There , addressing relations between the British and the Indians -- a topic he would tackle repeatedly over the next two years -- Tagore spoke of a `` dark chasm of aloofness '' . He visited Aga Khan III , stayed at Dartington Hall , toured Denmark , Switzerland , and Germany from June to mid-September 1930 , then went on into the Soviet Union . In April 1932 Tagore , intrigued by the Persian mystic Hafez , was hosted by Reza Shah Pahlavi . In his other travels , Tagore interacted with Henri Bergson , Albert Einstein , Robert Frost , Thomas Mann , George Bernard Shaw , H.G. Wells , and Romain Rolland . Visits to Persia and Iraq ( in 1932 ) and Sri Lanka ( in 1933 ) composed Tagore 's final foreign tour , and his dislike of communalism and nationalism only deepened . Vice-President of India M. Hamid Ansari has said that Rabindranath Tagore heralded the cultural rapprochement between communities , societies and nations much before it became the liberal norm of conduct . Tagore was a man ahead of his time . He wrote in 1932 , while on a visit to Iran , that `` each country of Asia will solve its own historical problems according to its strength , nature and needs , but the lamp they will each carry on their path to progress will converge to illuminate the common ray of knowledge . '' Works Main article : Works of Rabindranath Tagore Known mostly for his poetry , Tagore wrote novels , essays , short stories , travelogues , dramas , and thousands of songs . Of Tagore 's prose , his short stories are perhaps most highly regarded ; he is indeed credited with originating the Bengali - language version of the genre . His works are frequently noted for their rhythmic , optimistic , and lyrical nature . Such stories mostly borrow from deceptively simple subject matter : commoners . Tagore 's non-fiction grappled with history , linguistics , and spirituality . He wrote autobiographies . His travelogues , essays , and lectures were compiled into several volumes , including Europe Jatrir Patro ( Letters from Europe ) and Manusher Dhormo ( The Religion of Man ) . His brief chat with Einstein , `` Note on the Nature of Reality '' , is included as an appendix to the latter . On the occasion of Tagore 's 150th birthday an anthology ( titled Kalanukromik Rabindra Rachanabali ) of the total body of his works is currently being published in Bengali in chronological order . This includes all versions of each work and fills about eighty volumes . In 2011 , Harvard University Press collaborated with Visva - Bharati University to publish The Essential Tagore , the largest anthology of Tagore 's works available in English ; it was edited by Fakrul Alam and Radha Chakravarthy and marks the 150th anniversary of Tagore 's birth . Drama Tagore performing the title role inValmiki Pratibha ( 1881 ) with his niece Indira Devi as the goddess Lakshmi . Tagore 's experiences with drama began when he was sixteen , with his brother Jyotirindranath . He wrote his first original dramatic piece when he was twenty -- Valmiki Pratibha which was shown at the Tagore 's mansion . Tagore stated that his works sought to articulate `` the play of feeling and not of action '' . In 1890 he wrote Visarjan ( an adaptation of his novella Rajarshi ) , which has been regarded as his finest drama . In the original Bengali language , such works included intricate subplots and extended monologues . Later , Tagore 's dramas used more philosophical and allegorical themes . The play Dak Ghar ( The Post Office ' ; 1912 ) , describes the child Amal defying his stuffy and puerile confines by ultimately `` fall ( ing ) asleep '' , hinting his physical death . A story with borderless appeal -- gleaning rave reviews in Europe -- Dak Ghar dealt with death as , in Tagore 's words , `` spiritual freedom '' from `` the world of hoarded wealth and certified creeds '' . Another is Tagore 's Chandalika ( Untouchable Girl ) , which was modelled on an ancient Buddhist legend describing how Ananda , the Gautama Buddha 's disciple , asks a tribal girl for water . In Raktakarabi ( `` Red '' or `` Blood Oleanders '' ) is an allegorical struggle against a kleptocrat king who rules over the residents of Yaksha puri . Chitrangada , Chandalika , and Shyama are other key plays that have dance - drama adaptations , which together are known as Rabindra Nritya Natya . Short stories Cover of the Sabuj Patra magazine , edited by Pramatha Chaudhuri Tagore began his career in short stories in 1877 -- when he was only sixteen -- with `` Bhikharini '' ( `` The Beggar Woman '' ) . With this , Tagore effectively invented the Bengali - language short story genre . The four years from 1891 to 1895 are known as Tagore 's `` Sadhana '' period ( named for one of Tagore 's magazines ) . This period was among Tagore 's most fecund , yielding more than half the stories contained in the three - volume Galpaguchchha , which itself is a collection of eighty - four stories . Such stories usually showcase Tagore 's reflections upon his surroundings , on modern and fashionable ideas , and on interesting mind puzzles ( which Tagore was fond of testing his intellect with ) . Tagore typically associated his earliest stories ( such as those of the `` Sadhana '' period ) with an exuberance of vitality and spontaneity ; these characteristics were intimately connected with Tagore 's life in the common villages of , among others , Patisar , Shajadpur , and Shilaida while managing the Tagore family 's vast landholdings . There , he beheld the lives of India 's poor and common people ; Tagore thereby took to examining their lives with a penetrative depth and feeling that was singular in Indian literature up to that point . In particular , such stories as `` Kabuliwala '' ( `` The Fruitseller from Kabul '' , published in 1892 ) , `` Kshudita Pashan '' ( `` The Hungry Stones '' ) ( August 1895 ) , and `` Atithi '' ( `` The Runaway '' , 1895 ) typified this analytic focus on the downtrodden . Many of the other Galpaguchchha stories were written in Tagore 's Sabuj Patra period from 1914 to 1917 , also named after one of the magazines that Tagore edited and heavily contributed to . Novels Tagore wrote eight novels and four novellas , among them Chaturanga , Shesher Kobita , Char Odhay , and Noukadubi . Ghare Baire ( The Home and the World ) -- through the lens of the idealistic zamindar protagonist Nikhil -- excoriates rising Indian nationalism , terrorism , and religious zeal in the Swadeshi movement ; a frank expression of Tagore 's conflicted sentiments , it emerged from a 1914 bout of depression . The novel ends in Hindu - Muslim violence and Nikhil 's -- likely mortal -- wounding . Gora raises controversial questions regarding the Indian identity . As with Ghare Baire , matters of self - identity ( jāti ) , personal freedom , and religion are developed in the context of a family story and love triangle . In it an Irish boy orphaned in the Sepoy Mutiny is raised by Hindus as the titular gora -- `` whitey '' . Ignorant of his foreign origins , he chastises Hindu religious backsliders out of love for the indigenous Indians and solidarity with them against his hegemon - compatriots . He falls for a Brahmo girl , compelling his worried foster father to reveal his lost past and cease his nativist zeal . As a `` true dialectic '' advancing `` arguments for and against strict traditionalism '' , it tackles the colonial conundrum by `` portray ( ing ) the value of all positions within a particular frame ( ... ) not only syncretism , not only liberal orthodoxy , but the extremest reactionary traditionalism he defends by an appeal to what humans share . '' Among these Tagore highlights `` identity ( ... ) conceived of as dharma . '' In Jogajog ( Relationships ) , the heroine Kumudini -- bound by the ideals of Śiva - Sati , exemplified by Dākshāyani -- is torn between her pity for the sinking fortunes of her progressive and compassionate elder brother and his foil : her roue of a husband . Tagore flaunts his feminist leanings ; pathos depicts the plight and ultimate demise of women trapped by pregnancy , duty , and family honour ; he simultaneously trucks with Bengal 's putrescent landed gentry . The story revolves around the underlying rivalry between two families -- the Chatterjees , aristocrats now on the decline ( Biprodas ) and the Ghosals ( Madhusudan ) , representing new money and new arrogance . Kumudini , Biprodas ' sister , is caught between the two as she is married off to Madhusudan . She had risen in an observant and sheltered traditional home , as had all her female relations . Others were uplifting : Shesher Kobita -- translated twice as Last Poem and Farewell Song -- is his most lyrical novel , with poems and rhythmic passages written by a poet protagonist . It contains elements of satire and postmodernism and has stock characters who gleefully attack the reputation of an old , outmoded , oppressively renowned poet who , incidentally , goes by a familiar name : `` Rabindranath Tagore '' . Though his novels remain among the least - appreciated of his works , they have been given renewed attention via film adaptations by Ray and others : Chokher Bali and Ghare Baire are exemplary . In the first , Tagore inscribes Bengali society via its heroine : a rebellious widow who would live for herself alone . He pillories the custom of perpetual mourning on the part of widows , who were not allowed to remarry , who were consigned to seclusion and loneliness . Tagore wrote of it : `` I have always regretted the ending '' . Poetry Title page of the 1913 Macmillan edition of Tagore 's Gitanjali . Part of a poem written by Tagore in Hungary , 1926 . Internationally , Gitanjali ( Bengali : গীতাঞ্জলি ) is Tagore 's best - known collection of poetry , for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1913 . Tagore was the first person ( excepting Roosevelt ) outside Europe to get the Nobel Prize . Besides Gitanjali , other notable works include Manasi , Sonar Tori ( `` Golden Boat '' ) , Balaka ( `` Wild Geese '' -- the title being a metaphor for migrating souls ) Tagore 's poetic style , which proceeds from a lineage established by 15th - and 16th - century Vaishnava poets , ranges from classical formalism to the comic , visionary , and ecstatic . He was influenced by the atavistic mysticism of Vyasa and other rishi - authors of the Upanishads , the Bhakti - Sufi mystic Kabir , and Ramprasad Sen. Tagore 's most innovative and mature poetry embodies his exposure to Bengali rural folk music , which included mystic Baul ballads such as those of the bard Lalon . These , rediscovered and repopularised by Tagore , resemble 19th - century Kartābhajā hymns that emphasise inward divinity and rebellion against bourgeois bhadralok religious and social orthodoxy . During his Shelaidaha years , his poems took on a lyrical voice of the moner manush , the Bāuls ' `` man within the heart '' and Tagore 's `` life force of his deep recesses '' , or meditating upon the jeevan devata -- the demiurge or the `` living God within '' . This figure connected with divinity through appeal to nature and the emotional interplay of human drama . Such tools saw use in his Bhānusiṃha poems chronicling the Radha - Krishna romance , which were repeatedly revised over the course of seventy years . Later , with the development of new poetic ideas in Bengal -- many originating from younger poets seeking to break with Tagore 's style -- Tagore absorbed new poetic concepts , which allowed him to further develop a unique identity . Examples of this include Africa and Camalia , which are among the better known of his latter poems . Songs ( Rabindra sangeet ) Tagore was a prolific composer with around 2,230 songs to his credit . His songs are known as rabindrasangit ( `` Tagore Song '' ) , which merges fluidly into his literature , most of which -- poems or parts of novels , stories , or plays alike -- were lyricised . Influenced by the thumri style of Hindustani music , they ran the entire gamut of human emotion , ranging from his early dirge - like Brahmo devotional hymns to quasi-erotic compositions . They emulated the tonal colour of classical ragas to varying extents . Some songs mimicked a given raga 's melody and rhythm faithfully ; others newly blended elements of different ragas . Yet about nine - tenths of his work was not bhanga gaan , the body of tunes revamped with `` fresh value '' from select Western , Hindustani , Bengali folk and other regional flavours `` external '' to Tagore 's own ancestral culture . In 1971 , Amar Shonar Bangla became the national anthem of Bangladesh . It was written -- ironically -- to protest the 1905 Partition of Bengal along communal lines : cutting off the Muslim - majority East Bengal from Hindu - dominated West Bengal was to avert a regional bloodbath . Tagore saw the partition as a cunning plan to stop the independence movement , and he aimed to rekindle Bengali unity and tar communalism . Jana Gana Mana was written in shadhu - bhasha , a Sanskritised form of Bengali , and is the first of five stanzas of the Brahmo hymn Bharot Bhagyo Bidhata that Tagore composed . It was first sung in 1911 at a Calcutta session of the Indian National Congress and was adopted in 1950 by the Constituent Assembly of the Republic of India as its national anthem . The Sri Lanka 's National Anthem was inspired by his work . For Bengalis , the songs ' appeal , stemming from the combination of emotive strength and beauty described as surpassing even Tagore 's poetry , was such that the Modern Review observed that `` ( t ) here is in Bengal no cultured home where Rabindranath 's songs are not sung or at least attempted to be sung ... Even illiterate villagers sing his songs '' . Tagore influenced sitar maestro Vilayat Khan and sarodiyas Buddhadev Dasgupta and Amjad Ali Khan . Art works Primitivism : a pastel - coloured rendition of a Malagan mask from northern New Ireland , Papua New Guinea . Tagore 's Bengali - language initials are worked into this `` Ro - Tho '' ( of RAbindranath THAkur ) wooden seal , stylistically similar to designs used in traditional Haida carvings from the Pacific Northwest region of North America . Tagore often embellished his manuscripts with such art . At sixty , Tagore took up drawing and painting ; successful exhibitions of his many works -- which made a debut appearance in Paris upon encouragement by artists he met in the south of France -- were held throughout Europe . He was likely red - green colour blind , resulting in works that exhibited strange colour schemes and off - beat aesthetics . Tagore was influenced numerous styles , including scrimshaw by the Malanggan people of northern New Ireland , Papua New Guinea , Haida carvings from the Pacific Northwest region of North America , and woodcuts by the German Max Pechstein . His artist 's eye for his handwriting were revealed in the simple artistic and rhythmic leitmotifs embellishing the scribbles , cross-outs , and word layouts of his manuscripts . Some of Tagore 's lyrics corresponded in a synesthetic sense with particular paintings . Surrounded by several painters Rabindranath had always wanted to paint . Writing and music , playwriting and acting came to him naturally and almost without training , as it did to several others in his family , and in even greater measure . But painting eluded him . Yet he tried repeatedly to master the art and there are several references to this in his early letters and reminiscence . In 1900 for instance , when he was nearing forty and already a celebrated writer , he wrote to Jagadishchandra Bose , `` You will be surprised to hear that I am sitting with a sketchbook drawing . Needless to say , the pictures are not intended for any salon in Paris , they cause me not the least suspicion that the national gallery of any country will suddenly decide to raise taxes to acquire them . But , just as a mother lavishes most affection on her ugliest son , so I feel secretly drawn to the very skill that comes to me least easily . '' He also realized that he was using the eraser more than the pencil , and dissatisfied with the results he finally withdrew , deciding it was not for him to become a painter . Tagore also had an artist 's eye for his own handwriting , embellishing the cross-outs and word layouts in his manuscripts with simple artistic leitmotifs . India 's National Gallery of Modern Art lists 102 works by Tagore in its collections . Politics Main article : Political views of Rabindranath Tagore Tagore hosts Gandhi and wife Kasturba at Santiniketan in 1940 Tagore opposed imperialism and supported Indian nationalists , and these views were first revealed in Manast , which was mostly composed in his twenties . Evidence produced during the Hindu -- German Conspiracy Trial and latter accounts affirm his awareness of the Ghadarites , and stated that he sought the support of Japanese Prime Minister Terauchi Masatake and former Premier Ōkuma Shigenobu . Yet he lampooned the Swadeshi movement ; he rebuked it in The Cult of the Charkha , an acrid 1925 essay . He urged the masses to avoid victimology and instead seek self - help and education , and he saw the presence of British administration as a `` political symptom of our social disease '' . He maintained that , even for those at the extremes of poverty , `` there can be no question of blind revolution '' ; preferable to it was a `` steady and purposeful education '' . So I repeat we never can have a true view of man unless we have a love for him . Civilisation must be judged and prized , not by the amount of power it has developed , but by how much it has evolved and given expression to , by its laws and institutions , the love of humanity . `` '' -- Sādhanā : The Realisation of Life , 1916 . Such views enraged many . He escaped assassination -- and only narrowly -- by Indian expatriates during his stay in a San Francisco hotel in late 1916 ; the plot failed when his would - be assassins fell into argument . Tagore wrote songs lionising the Indian independence movement . Two of Tagore 's more politically charged compositions , `` Chitto Jetha Bhayshunyo '' ( `` Where the Mind is Without Fear '' ) and `` Ekla Chalo Re '' ( `` If They Answer Not to Thy Call , Walk Alone '' ) , gained mass appeal , with the latter favoured by Gandhi . Though somewhat critical of Gandhian activism , Tagore was key in resolving a Gandhi -- Ambedkar dispute involving separate electorates for untouchables , thereby mooting at least one of Gandhi 's fasts `` unto death '' . Repudiation of knighthood See also : List of people who have declined a British honour § Knighthood ( Knight Bachelor ) Tagore renounced his knighthood in response to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919 . In the repudiation letter to the Viceroy , Lord Chelmsford , he wrote The time has come when badges of honour make our shame glaring in the incongruous context of humiliation , and I for my part , wish to stand , shorn , of all special distinctions , by the side of those of my countrymen who , for their so called insignificance , are liable to suffer degradation not fit for human beings . Santiniketan and Visva - Bharati Kala Bhavan ( Institute of Fine Arts ) , Santiniketan , India Tagore despised rote classroom schooling : in `` The Parrot 's Training '' , a bird is caged and force - fed textbook pages -- to death . Tagore , visiting Santa Barbara in 1917 , conceived a new type of university : he sought to `` make Santiniketan the connecting thread between India and the world ( and ) a world center for the study of humanity somewhere beyond the limits of nation and geography . '' The school , which he named Visva - Bharati , had its foundation stone laid on 24 December 1918 and was inaugurated precisely three years later . Tagore employed a brahmacharya system : gurus gave pupils personal guidance -- emotional , intellectual , and spiritual . Teaching was often done under trees . He staffed the school , he contributed his Nobel Prize monies , and his duties as steward - mentor at Santiniketan kept him busy : mornings he taught classes ; afternoons and evenings he wrote the students ' textbooks . He fundraised widely for the school in Europe and the United States between 1919 and 1921 . Theft of Nobel Prize On 25 March 2004 , Tagore 's Nobel Prize was stolen from the safety vault of the Visva - Bharati University , along with several other of his belongings . On 7 December 2004 , the Swedish Academy decided to present two replicas of Tagore 's Nobel Prize , one made of gold and the other made of bronze , to the Visva - Bharati University . It inspired the fictional film Nobel Chor . Quotes `` Every person is worthy of an infinite wealth of love - the beauty of his soul knows no limit . '' - Rabindranath Tagore , Glimpses of Bengal `` Who are you , reader , reading my poems an hundred years hence ? I can not send you one single flower from this wealth of the spring , one single streak of gold from yonder clouds . Open your doors and look abroad . From your blossoming garden gather fragrant memories of the vanished flowers of an hundred years before . In the joy of your heart may you feel the living joy that sang one spring morning , sending its glad voice across an hundred years . '' `` Trust love even if it brings sorrow . Do not close up your heart . '' ― Rabindranath Tagore , The Gardener `` The roots below the earth claim no rewards for making the branches fruitful . '' `` We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us . '' `` Once we dreamt that we were strangers . We wake up to find that we were dear to each other . '' ~ Rabindranath Tagore , Stray Birds ( All quotes sourced from Project Gutenberg ) Impact and legacy Bust of Tagore in Gordon Square , Bloomsbury , London Rabindranath Tagore 's bust at St Stephen Green Park , Dublin , Ireland Every year , many events pay tribute to Tagore : Kabipranam , his birth anniversary , is celebrated by groups scattered across the globe ; the annual Tagore Festival held in Urbana , Illinois ( USA ) ; Rabindra Path Parikrama walking pilgrimages from Kolkata to Santiniketan ; and recitals of his poetry , which are held on important anniversaries . Bengali culture is fraught with this legacy : from language and arts to history and politics . Amartya Sen deemed Tagore a `` towering figure '' , a `` deeply relevant and many - sided contemporary thinker '' . Tagore 's Bengali originals -- the 1939 Rabīndra Rachanāvalī -- is canonised as one of his nation 's greatest cultural treasures , and he was roped into a reasonably humble role : `` the greatest poet India has produced '' . Who are you , reader , reading my poems a hundred years hence ? I can not send you one single flower from this wealth of the spring , one single streak of gold from yonder clouds . Open your doors and look abroad . From your blossoming garden gather fragrant memories of the vanished flowers of an hundred years before . In the joy of your heart may you feel the living joy that sang one spring morning , sending its glad voice across an hundred years . `` '' -- The Gardener , 1915 . Tagore was renowned throughout much of Europe , North America , and East Asia . He co-founded Dartington Hall School , a progressive coeducational institution ; in Japan , he influenced such figures as Nobel laureate Yasunari Kawabata . Tagore 's works were widely translated into English , Dutch , German , Spanish , and other European languages by Czech Indologist Vincenc Lesný , French Nobel laureate André Gide , Russian poet Anna Akhmatova , former Turkish Prime Minister Bülent Ecevit , and others . In the United States , Tagore 's lecturing circuits , particularly those of 1916 -- 1917 , were widely attended and wildly acclaimed . Some controversies involving Tagore , possibly fictive , trashed his popularity and sales in Japan and North America after the late 1920s , concluding with his `` near total eclipse '' outside Bengal . Yet a latent reverence of Tagore was discovered by an astonished Salman Rushdie during a trip to Nicaragua . By way of translations , Tagore influenced Chileans Pablo Neruda and Gabriela Mistral ; Mexican writer Octavio Paz ; and Spaniards José Ortega y Gasset , Zenobia Camprubí , and Juan Ramón Jiménez . In the period 1914 -- 1922 , the Jiménez - Camprubí pair produced twenty - two Spanish translations of Tagore 's English corpus ; they heavily revised The Crescent Moon and other key titles . In these years , Jiménez developed `` naked poetry '' . Ortega y Gasset wrote that `` Tagore 's wide appeal ( owes to how ) he speaks of longings for perfection that we all have ( ... ) Tagore awakens a dormant sense of childish wonder , and he saturates the air with all kinds of enchanting promises for the reader , who ( ... ) pays little attention to the deeper import of Oriental mysticism '' . Tagore 's works circulated in free editions around 1920 -- alongside those of Plato , Dante , Cervantes , Goethe , and Tolstoy . Tagore was deemed over-rated by some . Graham Greene doubted that `` anyone but Mr. Yeats can still take his poems very seriously . '' Several prominent Western admirers -- including Pound and , to a lesser extent , even Yeats -- criticised Tagore 's work . Yeats , unimpressed with his English translations , railed against that `` Damn Tagore ( ... ) We got out three good books , Sturge Moore and I , and then , because he thought it more important to know English than to be a great poet , he brought out sentimental rubbish and wrecked his reputation . Tagore does not know English , no Indian knows English . '' William Radice , who `` English ( ed ) '' his poems , asked : `` What is their place in world literature ? '' He saw him as `` kind of counter-cultur ( al ) '' , bearing `` a new kind of classicism '' that would heal the `` collapsed romantic confusion and chaos of the 20th ( c ) entury . '' The translated Tagore was `` almost nonsensical '' , and subpar English offerings reduced his trans - national appeal : Anyone who knows Tagore 's poems in their original Bengali can not feel satisfied with any of the translations ( made with or without Yeats 's help ) . Even the translations of his prose works suffer , to some extent , from distortion . E.M. Forster noted ( of ) The Home and the World ( that ) ' ( t ) he theme is so beautiful , ' but the charms have ' vanished in translation , ' or perhaps ' in an experiment that has not quite come off . ' -- Amartya Sen , `` Tagore and His India '' . Museums Jorasanko Thakur Bari , Kolkata ; the room in which Tagore died in 1941 . The houseboat ( `` Bajra '' ) of the Tagore family , at Shilaidaha Kuthibadi , Bangladesh There are five Tagore museums in India and Bangladesh : Rabindra Bharati Museum , at Jorasanko Thakur Bari , Kolkata , India Tagore Memorial Museum , at Shilaidaha Kuthibadi , Shilaidaha , Bangladesh Rabindra Memorial Museum at Shahzadpur Kachharibari , Shahzadpur , Bangladesh Rabindra Bhavan Museum , in Santiniketan , India Rabindra Museum , in Mungpoo , near Kalimpong , India Jorasanko Thakur Bari ( Bengali : House of the Thakurs ( anglicised to Tagore ) in Jorasanko , north of Kolkata , is the ancestral home of the Tagore family . It is currently located on the Rabindra Bharati University campus at 6 / 4 Dwarakanath Tagore Lane Jorasanko , Kolkata 700007 . It is the house in which Tagore was born . It is also the place where he spent most of his childhood and where he died on 7 August 1941 . Shilaidaha Kuthibadi ( Bengali : শিলাইদহ ) is a place in Kumarkhali Upazila of Kushtia District in Bangladesh . The place is famous for Kuthi Bari ; a country house made by Dwarkanath Tagore . Tagore lived a part of life here and created some of his memorable poems while living here . The museum is named ' Tagore Memorial Museum ' . Many of the objects Tagore used are displayed here , such as his bed , wardrobe , iron chest , lawn mower , framed pictures and last but not the least his houseboat . The Shahzadpur Kachharibari has been converted into a museum and a memorial in his name . Many artefacts and memorabilia items are on display in the museum , including shoes , wooden sandals , a piano and a harmonium . The building itself is of interesting architectural heritage , and contains 7 rooms . Additionally , there is the Rabindra Tirtha , a cultural center in Narkel Bagan , New Town , Kolkata , India , completed in 2012 .

by which pseudonym rabindranath tagore first published his poems
[ "A Pirali Brahmin from Calcutta with ancestral gentry roots in Jessore, Tagore wrote poetry as an eight-year-old.[10] At the age of sixteen, he released his first substantial poems under the pseudonym Bhānusiṃha (\"Sun Lion\"), which were seized upon by literary authorities as long-lost classics.[11][12] By 1877 he graduated to his first short stories and dramas, published under his real name. As a humanist, universalist internationalist, and ardent anti-nationalist,[13] he denounced the British Raj and advocated independence from Britain. As an exponent of the Bengal Renaissance, he advanced a vast canon that comprised paintings, sketches and doodles, hundreds of texts, and some two thousand songs; his legacy also endures in the institution he founded, Visva-Bharati University.[14][15][16][17][18]" ]

[ "No.TitleDirected byWritten byOriginal air date [8]Prod.code [8]U.S. viewers(millions)1\"#Pilot\"Steve HoeferDan SchneiderJune 8, 2013 (2013-06-08)1014.16[9][10]\nSet after the events of the iCarly series finale \"iGoodbye\", Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy, reprising her role from iCarly) arrives at a food truck in Los Angeles, and sees a girl get dumped into a garbage truck. Sam runs off to save her. Later, the girl introduces herself as Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande, reprising her role from Victorious). To thank Sam, Cat lets her reside at her grandmother Nona's apartment with her. The next day, Cat learns Sam took Nona to a retirement community called Elderly Acres. While heading out to see her, Sam and Cat run into three kids, Chloe, Max, and Darby, whom Nona was supposed to babysit. They take the kids with them to Elderly Acres, and the kids drive off on an electric wheelchair. Cat and Nona's neighbor Dice (Cameron Ocasio) helps the girls track down the three kids at Inside-Out Burger. The restaurant's manager faints after chasing around the kids on the wheelchair. The girls perform their version of CPR on him and save him. They are rewarded with free cheeseburgers for the rest of their lives. Afterward, Sam gets ready to leave, but Cat, not wanting to stay alone, asks her to stay. Sam agrees and they become roommates.\n\nGuest stars: Griffin Kane as Max; Emily Skinner as Chloe\n2\"#FavoriteShow\"Steve HoeferDan SchneiderJune 15, 2013 (2013-06-15)1022.58[11]\nSam and Cat attempt to save their favorite TV show That's a Drag from being cancelled while babysitting two annoying kids named Bob and Ethan, but despite Cat's best and desperate efforts, she and Sam are unable to convince the producer to keep the show airing. Sam asks for Dice's help in stealing a zebra-print lamp from the show so she can give it to Cat. Sam creates a distraction by faking an injury, and Dice tries to steal the lamp. Dice is caught, but Sam manages to trick the workers into delivering all the show's props to their apartment rather than to the warehouse. Sam and Dice decorate the apartment with the props, and they surprise an overjoyed Cat. And though Cat is worried that Nona will be mad at her for removing the old furniture, when Nona stops by she fails to notice any difference.\n3\"#TheBritBrats\"Adam WeissmanDan Schneider & Jake FarrowJune 22, 2013 (2013-06-22)1043.11[14]\nWhile Cat babysits two polite British girls, Gwen and Ruby, Dice notices that they have a \"Pear Phone 6\", a phone that hasn't yet been released in America. Dice strikes a deal with them to buy five new Pear Phones for $500. When he gets the package, he realizes they tricked him and sold him rocks instead. Cat visits the girls to see what went wrong, and ends up trading her bike for bibble, a fictional popcorn snack that she covets. However instead of bibble, she receives a tin of cotton swabs. In the end, they trick the British brats in a bingo game at Elderly Acres and get their stuff back with the help of two police officers who perform a fake raid. Dice gets his money back, Cat gets her bike back, and Sam gets her community service form signed.\n\nGuest stars: Sophia Grace Brownlee & Rosie McClelland as Gwen and Ruby[12][13]\n4\"#NewGoat\"Steve HoeferDan Schneider & Warren BellJune 29, 2013 (2013-06-29)1032.96[15]\nThe girls babysit a pygmy goat given to them by Dice. Their landlord's son, Dilben, threatens them with eviction as goats are not allowed in their apartment. Sam and Cat try to convince Dilben that they have gotten rid of the goat, but Dilben sees it and threatens to notify his father. He also warns them that they need to live with an adult. Sam, Cat, Dice, and Dice's client Goomer hatch a scheme to convince the landlord that the two girls indeed live with an adult and do not have a goat. They ultimately find out, however, that Dilben's father is not the landlord, and that the man he has been passing off as his father is, in fact, an actor.\n\nGuest stars: Zoran Korach as Goomer; Griffin Kane as Max; Emily Skinner as Chloe; River Alexander as Dilben\n5\"#TextingCompetition\"Russ ReinselDan Schneider & Christopher J. NowakJuly 13, 2013 (2013-07-13)1083.38[16]\nSam and Cat babysit Butler, a champion speed-texter, and discover that Sam is also a fast texter. She and Butler enter a texting competition and the two make the finals. Before the finals begin, Butler's mom glues Sam's hand to Cat's foot to ensure Butler can win more easily. Sam ends up texting with one hand, and Butler drops his phone on purpose to get back at his mother. Butler is content with his consolation prize, a bike. Cat, on the other hand, is shocked at the size of the speed boat that she and Sam won. Neither of them care to meet the Vice President of the United States, another prize for winning the competition.\n\nGuest stars: Jack DeSena as Host of Texting Competition; Susan Huckle as Debbie Torso (Mrs. Torso); Jake Brennan as Butler Torso\n6\"#BabysitterWar\"Steve HoeferDan Schneider & Christopher J. NowakJuly 20, 2013 (2013-07-20)1053.29[17]\nAfter Sam and Cat babysit Benny, he leaves, saying, \"You are the best babysitter ever!\". The two argue about which girl he meant, and decide to make their next appointment a competition to see which of the two is the better babysitter, with the winner getting the master bedroom. When they babysit Daisy, Jarvis, and Sophie, they each do things to get the kids to like them. Sam and Cat then ask them which of the two they like better, and it turns out to be a tie since Sophie didn't want to choose. The babysitters realize they work best as a team and share the master bedroom.\n\nGuest stars: Rachel Eggleston, Justin Ellings, Ellee Jo Trowbridge\n7\"#GoomerSitting\"Adam WeissmanDan Schneider & Warren BellJuly 27, 2013 (2013-07-27)1062.66[18]\nDice asks Sam and Cat to babysit Goomer for one night, while Dice goes to Phoenix for hair modeling. They agree to do so, with conditions. The babysitting doesn't go as planned, as Cat accidentally puts Goomer's tongue-drop medicine in his eyes, blinding him the night before his big match against the undefeated John \"Skull Crusher\" Zakappa. During the fight, Goomer's chances are as good as his impaired vision, but he ends up winning after the \"Skull Crusher\" enrages him by making fun of Dice's hair (which is happening as Goomer's vision returns). Afterward, Zakappa cries that he wants a re-match and when he pushes Sam aside, after she tells him to accept the defeat, she wrestles him to the mat where the fight took place.\n\nGuest star: Zoran Korach as Goomer\n8\"#ToddlerClimbing\"Adam WeissmanDan Schneider & Jake FarrowAugust 3, 2013 (2013-08-03)1072.87[19]\nSam and Cat find out they have been receiving negative reviews on a web site following a cancelled appointment. Sam calls up her tech-savvy friend Freddie (a former iCarly character who later appears in \"#TheKillerTunaJump\") who traces the authors of the reviews. It is discovered all of the reviews came from the same location, the house of a competing babysitting service. Sam and Cat then go to the house and confront those babysitters. Sam warns them to delete the reviews and threatens to beat them up, but Cat reminds her about the babysitter code. They then send Dice, dressed as a child with a hat cam, to spy on the competing babysitters and discover that they have set up a toddler-climbing competition in their basement to gamble. Sam and Cat go to their house again and threaten to upload the video of their competition unless they delete the reviews and stop babysitting.\n9\"#MommaGoomer\"Dan FrischmanDan Schneider & Christopher J. NowakAugust 10, 2013 (2013-08-10)1112.48[20]\nGoomer's mother comes to town, having no idea her son is an MMA fighter. Sam and Cat must help convince her that he is a high school history teacher instead, because if she finds out his real job, she will take him back home to Louisiana. The girls set up a fake class at Hollywood Arts (the school Cat attends, going back to Victorious), but their plan falls apart when Mr. Sikowitz doesn't find an online charity Goomer is associated with. Goomer then admits to his mom that he is indeed a fighter; she becomes outraged and makes him pack his things. When the group enters an alleyway near Goomer's apartment, three thugs try to steal his mom's purse, prompting him to beat them up. She then realizes the benefits of his talent and allows him to stay in L.A., while she goes on a date with one of the police officers who arrived at the scene of the incident.\n\nGuest stars: Eric Lange as Mr. Sikowitz (reprising his role from Victorious); Zoran Korach as Goomer\n10\"#BabysittingCommercial\"Steve HoeferDan Schneider & Warren BellSeptember 14, 2013 (2013-09-14)1122.33[21]\nSam and Cat make a commercial for their business, which features Dice's dog \"Opee\". A rich family comes to the girls' apartment and claims the dog is theirs. They point out that they lost their dog six months earlier, around the time Dice found Opee in an alley, and demand it be returned. Their daughter is champion of a dog dancing competition, and the dog is key to her routine. When they don't get the dog back, they threaten to return with a court order and a police officer. Sam and Cat try several animal shelters, looking for an identical dog. They finally find one that looks exactly like Opee, but the owner of the shelter says it's vicious. After they give the identical dog to the family, the daughter re-enters the dog dancing competition, and the dog violently attacks her on live television when she picks it up.\n11\"#RevengeOfTheBritBrats\"Adam WeissmanDan Schneider & Warren BellSeptember 21, 2013 (2013-09-21)1092.32[22]\nGwen and Ruby return for another vacation from England and drive a wedge between Sam and Cat. They finally repay Cat with a real can of bibble, Sam with a vibrating motorcycle helmet, and both sitters with a special British toilet plunger. In reality, Gwen and Ruby are using these gifts for a revenge plot in retaliation for what happened to them in the bingo game (see \"#TheBritBrats\" above). Gwen reclaims Cat's can of bibble and sprinkles some bibble crumbs onto Sam's bed. Later, she paints Sam's motorcycle pink, while Ruby paints Cat's hand likewise. Sam and Cat argue with one another over these incidents, thinking they did it to each other for revenge. They part ways the next day to calm down. At Punchy's Gym, Goomer rationally points out to Sam that it could have simply been Gwen and Ruby's revenge. Nona relays the same logic to Cat at Bots. The girls gladly reunite and plot revenge against Gwen and Ruby. In order to trick the young Brits, they pretend to engage in a colossal fight in their apartment, and Sam uses the toilet plunger to make it look as if Cat has died. Never having wanted their revenge plot to escalate to death, Gwen and Ruby feel wretched about what they have done and quickly turn against one another, throwing a fit outside. Sam and Cat happily observe the fight, leaving the two to duke it out until they decide they need to call Gwen and Ruby's uncle.\n\nGuest stars: Sophia Grace Brownlee & Rosie McClelland as Gwen and Ruby; Zoran Korach as Goomer\n12\"#MotorcycleMystery\"Steve HoeferDan Schneider & Jake FarrowSeptember 28, 2013 (2013-09-28)1102.47[23]\nCat has a test coming up, so Dice, Goomer and Sam leave her to study, and head to a mixed-martial arts fight. When the three return, they find Cat asleep and handcuffed to a small, angry, foreign man. Sam's motorcycle is also missing, prompting her to wake up Cat, who cannot remember anything that happened because of a drug misuse. She also wonders why her hair is blue, but finds out she was with Nona at Elderly Acres earlier in the day. The gang heads there first in search of answers, and finds out Cat then went to Bots with an elderly man, who took her on Sam's motorcycle. So they head to Bots next and look through security footage. They discover John Zakappa (whom Goomer fought in the episode \"#GoomerSitting\") stole the motorcycle, and Cat handcuffed herself to Zakappa's friend Hector. The gang meets with Zakappa to retrieve the motorcycle in exchange for his friend, but he gets tricked as Sam and Cat decide to keep Hector. \n\nGuest star: Zoran Korach as Goomer\n13\"#SecretSafe\"Adam WeissmanDan Schneider & Jake FarrowOctober 5, 2013 (2013-10-05)1131.97[24]\nSam discovers a safe in her bedroom closet, and attempts to crack it. The girls decide to look after Dice after he complains about having to go with his mom and aunt to Puzzle-Con for the weekend. Dice then complains after Sam and Cat say no to his going to a poker game with college students. But when Sam finally unlocks the safe, and the girls check out an abandoned room inside, Dice locks them in and sneaks out. The girls stay stranded in the room for a long time, until Goomer frees them. Sam and Cat soon realize that Dice never went to any poker game, but was instead dancing at a kid's birthday party, to earn money to replace his mom's laptop. They lock Dice in the safe as punishment for what he put them through.\n\nGuest star: Zoran Korach as Goomer\n14\"#OscarTheOuch\"Russ ReinselDan Schneider & Dave MalkoffOctober 12, 2013 (2013-10-12)1152.15[25]\nWhen Cat saves an old man at Elderly Acres from getting hit by a scooter, the man's daughter asks the babysitting duo to look after her accident-prone son, Oscar. The boy is limited to using a rubber cup for his drinks, and eating cold, wet noodles without any utensils. Cat feels sorry for Oscar, so she plans to make his day as fun as possible, while trying to keep him safe with the help of the gang. However, a series of \"predicaments\" happen to Oscar while in Sam and Cat's care, leading his mother to chastise the duo when she picks him up. Oscar stands up for the girls, saying that even though he got hurt, he actually had fun.\n\nGuest star: Zoran Korach as Goomer\n15\"#DollSitting\"Steve HoeferDan Schneider & Christopher J. NowakOctober 19, 2013 (2013-10-19)1142.63[26]\nOn Halloween night, Sam dresses up like Cat while Cat dresses up like a genie. Sam and Cat are hired by Mr. Drange, a man Cat met by a graveyard, to babysit a creepy doll he calls Clarice. Dice gives Cat a spell book, and Cat tries to use a spell on him. She later suspects she may have turned him into a monkey, but Sam tries to convince Cat that Dice was not affected by the spell. Meanwhile, the doll seems to be in a new location every time Sam and Cat look at it, terrifying them. Mr. Drange returns and instructs them to take Clarice to a Del DeVille concert. While performing his latest song, Del recognizes Clarice, who has caused him nothing but trouble; consequently, Sam and Cat, as well as the doll, are escorted out by security guards. Afterward, Cat gets annoyed with Mr. Drange and complains, telling him to stop pretending the doll is his daughter as he is freaking everyone out. In a twist ending, the doll comes to life as a little girl, revealing that Clarice is really Mr. Drange's daughter.\n16\"#PeezyB\"Paul Coy Allen[27]Dan Schneider & Jake FarrowNovember 2, 2013 (2013-11-02)1193.02[28][29]\nCat's audition to appear in a Peezy B music video ends in tears. She says the famous rapper was mean to her, ridiculing her hair, her dancing, and the hat she wore to the audition. This angers Sam, and she is set to give Peezy a taste of her revenge. As she confronts him, however, Peezy realizes she has the \"swaggy spunk\" and hires her to be his new assistant. This proves to be a hardship for Cat, as she faces difficulties babysitting without Sam, so Cat finds someone to take Sam's place. In the end, seeing how much it has affected Cat, Sam quits as Peezy's assistant.\n\nGuest stars: Kel Mitchell as Peezy B; Zoran Korach as Goomer; Griffin Kane as Max; Emily Skinner as Chloe\n17\"#SalmonCat\"Russ ReinselDan Schneider & Christopher J. NowakNovember 9, 2013 (2013-11-09)1172.36[30]\nSam and Cat are ordered by a lawyer to rename their babysitting business because it is too similar to the name of a popular kids' TV show from the 1970s, Salmon Cat. They track down the show's two original creators—Sylvia Burke and Janice Dobbins—and seek to have the trademark infringement suit revoked. However, they soon realize Sylvia and Janice are not on speaking terms after quarreling over a trophy for their show, more than 30 years ago. So the babysitters devise a plan to get the two to meet, but things go wrong when they fight, and injure each other. Ultimately, Sylvia and Janice sign the papers, which allow Sam and Cat to keep the name of their babysitting service.\nGuest stars: Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams as Sylvia Burke and Janice Dobbins\n\nNote: Marshall and Williams are best known for portraying the title characters of the '70s sitcom Laverne & Shirley. The opening moments of this episode's theme song parody the opening part of the Laverne & Shirley theme song.\n18\"#Twinfection\"Steve HoeferDan Schneider & Jake FarrowNovember 16, 2013 (2013-11-16)1162.39[31]\nWhen Cat attempts a magic trick on Sam, and fails, Sam comes to the conclusion that Cat is not as smart as she. Determined to outsmart her roommate, Cat finds two twin boys at Bots and asks their mom if she can babysit them. The elaborate scheme Cat and the twins pull off to trick Sam works, and Cat celebrates her victory in song.

They soon find out Ellie is overprotective of Poober and refuses to give it up.

While the two are on their way to the store to get ingredients for more meatballs, Cat becomes obsessed with a pink shoe she finds in some bushes and then wears. Cat promises Sam she will make more meatballs after she finds the matching pink shoe. They eventually discover, through a clip from a reality show and a newspaper article, the shoe Cat found belongs to Stacey Dillsen (Abby Wilde, reprising her role from Zoey 101).

Cat takes advantage of the ATM's quirk, getting money from it regularly, not realizing it is wrong. Even Sam warns her of the consequences, but the girls use the money to buy stuff anyway. Yokvish, the store's clerk, eventually catches Cat in the act of emptying the ATM, and informs an approaching policeman who arrests Cat on the spot. With Sam joining her roommate in the police car, the two unexpectedly find themselves in a high-speed pursuit of a stolen car on their way to the station. Due to a lapse in judgment that causes the arresting officer to fall asleep at the wheel, Sam ends up taking the law into her own hands and catches the car thief by herself. Later, the police repossess everything Sam and Cat bought with the stolen money, and inform the girls they need to pay back what they took from the ATM. Sam and Cat get off the hook when Yokvish doesn't press charges against them, and even more so after the police discuss the person Sam caught, a criminal wanted in three states, resulting in a reward that more than covers the money they stole.\n\nGuest stars: Scott Baio as Officer Kelvin; Freedom as Policeman #1; Zoran Korach as Goomer (only appears in the credits)\n22\"#Lumpatious\"Russ ReinselDan Schneider & Jake FarrowJanuary 11, 2014 (2014-01-11)1223.38[38]\nSam and Cat help Lucas, a boy they're babysitting, with his vocabulary at Bots. As the time arrives for him to go home, Lucas informs his sitters that his brother Jepson is picking him up rather than his mom. Jepson's reputation makes him hated by most, and he mocks Cat for using the word nonconscious (instead of unconscious). It provokes Lucas into calling his brother lumpatious, which Jepson says is not a real word. Sam and Cat make a bet with Jepson that it is a word, but then find no proof of the word's existence in any dictionary, including the most authoritative Oxnard English Dictionary. Determined to bring the word into existence, the girls go to Oxnard and meet the \"Word Keepers\", who say the two must provide evidence of the word's use, and would accept a famous person's saying the word. Well, the girls have no luck with their mission, until they catch the governor of New Jersey at Inside-Out Burger, where they get him to say lumpatious on video, despite the security surrounding his van. With the evidence they need, Sam and Cat show the video to the Word Keepers, who then add the word to the dictionary. Jepson then goes through the humiliation of losing the bet.\n\nNote: The governor of New Jersey in this episode is listed in the credits as Governor Jenkins (Timothy E.

Sam initially does not embrace the idea of a holiday just for presents, but eventually warms to it and goes shopping for everyone, including Cat, whom Sam does not trust because of her tendency to snoop. And Cat does just that, the night before the holiday, peeking at what Sam got her and finding it insulting. That prompts Cat the next day to trade an expensive coat she got Sam for a stained, dirty pillow, which she then presents as Sam's present. In the end, Cat finds out that the present labeled for her was actually for Goomer, and that Sam merely mixed up the gift tags; what Sam actually purchased for her roommate was something she truly wanted. Sam then leaves the apartment, upset over her unwanted present, and Cat later finds her near a sidewalk.

Meanwhile, Cat prepares to star in a play called Baberaham Lincoln (where she portrays a British, female version of Abraham Lincoln). With her entire audience focused on Brain Crush, though, they ignore her performance, and Cat runs off crying.

A gruff government agent named Mark Bonner confiscates the remaining soda at Handy Quick, and happens to see a sign advertising Sam and Cat as babysitters. Defying the ban, the girls involve themselves, along with Goomer and Dice, in a secret manufacturing operation. Cat figures out the soda's recipe and sales take off, yet the gang becomes paranoid and decides to shut production down. Before they can, agent Bonner shows up at the apartment, and the girls panic, assuming he knows about their illegal venture; he is only there so they can babysit his son. The gang briefly resumes production, this time to stockpile soda for themselves. When Bonner returns, he hears an explosion and quickly figures out what's happening. Just as he is about to apprehend the gang, Sam, Cat, Goomer, and Dice point out the hypocrisy of banning various products or habits that are only dangerous in excess.

When Kim reveals she wants a Fresno Girl doll more than anything, the duo agree to buy her one if she excels on her math test. And she does, so Sam and Cat stick to the deal and take Kim to the Fresno Girl doll store, but they get charged a steep price not only for the doll Kim wants, but also countless \"accessories\" for it. When Sam later accidentally damages Kim's doll, she and Cat take it back to the store, only to face another steep price for the repair. Sam gets revenge by feeding Fudge Piles (an extremely chewy dessert Cat came up with) to the salespeople, and announcing that merchandise is free while they are unable to talk. Meanwhile, a t-shirt Goomer wears for luck at MMA fights is missing, and he posts fliers to help him find it. The flier is misleading because of how Goomer designs it, making people think he is missing. So after Randy's scout troop finds Goomer, and not the shirt, they are expecting the stated reward and hold him captive until they receive it. Later, Cat discovers Kim lied about her math test and did not pass after all. In order to keep her doll, and also in exchange for Goomer's return, Kim agrees to a date with Randy.

As attempts to free Cat from the box prove futile, and the gang is just hours away from heading to Mystic Mountain, they bring the box to a local magic shop where a famous magician named Vance Anderson works. Vance has the tools to unlock the box, but he also behaves obnoxiously by flirting with Sam and insulting Dice. Regardless, Cat is still trapped after Vance confirms the box is defective.

The girls order several useless items, happily receiving them even as the buggy drone smashes their kitchen window. A customer service representative from the retailer shows up, offering them discounted delivery to make up for the problems. Sam and Cat then start ordering as much as possible, to the detriment of their babysitting service. Nona and Dice step in to help out, only to watch a drone mistake one of their infants for a return product and carry it away in its car seat. The gang panics, knowing the baby's mother will soon arrive, and they go to the retailer's factory to find the child. The customer service representative from before approaches them, again with the cheerful attitude that this is a routine mishap, and brings them to a room full of items mistakenly taken by the drones: pets, babies, mailboxes, wigs, etc. They cannot initially identify the correct baby, but Sam pushes Nona to the floor, successfully reproducing an incident which caused the baby to laugh back at their house.

It stars Jeff Bridges as Jeffrey `` The Dude '' Lebowski , a Los Angeles slacker and avid bowler . He is assaulted as a result of mistaken identity , after which The Dude learns that a millionaire also named Jeffrey Lebowski was the intended victim . The millionaire Lebowski 's trophy wife is kidnapped , and he commissions The Dude to deliver the ransom to secure her release ; but the plan goes awry when the Dude 's friend Walter Sobchak ( John Goodman ) schemes to keep the ransom money . Julianne Moore and Steve Buscemi also star , with David Huddleston , John Turturro , Philip Seymour Hoffman , Sam Elliott , Tara Reid , David Thewlis and Flea appearing in supporting roles . The film is loosely inspired by the work of Raymond Chandler . Joel Coen stated : `` We wanted to do a Chandler kind of story -- how it moves episodically , and deals with the characters trying to unravel a mystery , as well as having a hopelessly complex plot that 's ultimately unimportant . '' The original score was composed by Carter Burwell , a longtime collaborator of the Coen brothers . The Big Lebowski was a disappointment at the U.S. box office and received mixed reviews at the time of its release . Over time , however , reviews have become largely positive , and the film has become a cult favorite , noted for its idiosyncratic characters , dream sequences , unconventional dialogue , and eclectic soundtrack . In 2014 , the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress , being deemed `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' . A spin - off based on John Turturro 's character , titled Going Places , was filmed in 2017 , with Turturro also acting as writer and director .

The two soon realize they have attacked the wrong Jeffrey Lebowski and leave , but not before one of them urinates on the Dude 's rug . The next day , the Dude explains this incident to his two friends and bowling partners , the timid Donny and the temperamental Vietnam veteran Walter Sobchak . Encouraged by Walter , the Dude pays a visit to the other Jeffrey Lebowski , the eponymous `` Big Lebowski '' , a cantankerous elderly wheelchair - using millionaire , to seek compensation for his ruined rug . Though his request is promptly refused , The Dude craftily steals one of Lebowski 's expensive rugs by telling Brandt , Lebowski 's sycophantic assistant , that his boss told him to take any rug in the house . The Dude subsequently meets Bunny , Lebowski 's young trophy wife . Days later , Lebowski contacts the Dude stating that Bunny has been kidnapped . Lebowski wants the Dude to deliver a briefcase containing a million - dollar ransom and see if he can recognize the culprits . Later , a different pair of thugs appear in the Dude 's apartment , knock him unconscious , and take Lebowski 's rug . When Bunny 's kidnappers call to arrange delivery of the ransom , Walter instead gives the kidnappers a fake ransom , namely , a briefcase filled with dirty underwear . The kidnappers grab the fake ransom and leave . Later that night , the Dude 's car is stolen , with the real ransom money briefcase still inside . Jeffrey Lebowski 's adult daughter Maude contacts the Dude and reveals she took the rug , explaining that Bunny is one of Jackie Treehorn 's porn stars . She reasons that Bunny `` kidnapped '' herself and asks the Dude to recover the ransom which her father illegally withdrew from the family 's foundation . Lebowski is angry that the Dude failed to deliver the ransom money and shows him a severed green - painted toe , allegedly belonging to Bunny and delivered by the kidnappers . Later , a gang of German nihilists invade the Dude 's apartment and threaten him , identifying themselves as the kidnappers . Maude says the German nihilists are actually Bunny 's friends . The Dude 's car is found by the police without the ransom money , and he reclaims it . Later , while cruising around in the car , The Dude finds the homework assignment of a high school student named Larry inside . Taking this to mean that Larry was the one who stole the car , Walter and The Dude go to his house , believing Larry has also stolen the money . When Larry refuses to respond to Walter and the Dude 's threats , Walter wrecks a new sports car parked outside which they assume Larry bought with the money . However , a neighbor rushes outside , reveals himself as having just bought the car and angrily wrecks The Dude 's car in revenge , thinking it to be Walter 's . The Dude is forcibly brought before Treehorn , who asks about the whereabouts of Bunny and says he wants the money she owes him . He drugs the Dude 's White Russian cocktail , causing The Dude to have a dream sequence involving Maude and bowling . The Dude awakens in police custody , where he is verbally and physically assaulted by the Malibu police chief . During the cab ride home , the Dude gets thrown out after he asks the cab driver to change the radio station . A red sports car zooms past and the viewer sees that Bunny is driving , with all her toes intact . The Dude finds his bungalow completely trashed and is greeted by Maude , who seduces him . He figures that Treehorn drugged him so that his goons could look for the ransom money at the Dude 's home . After Maude has sex with him , she says she hopes to conceive a child ; the Dude protests being a father , but Maude tells him that he will not be involved in the child 's upbringing . Maude also explains that her father has no money : her mother was the wealthy one and she left her money exclusively to the family charity . Having an epiphany , the Dude and Walter travel to the Lebowski estate , while the Dude explains : when Lebowski , who apparently hated his wife , heard of the kidnapping , he withdrew money from the foundation , kept it for himself , and gave the Dude a briefcase without any money in it , saying that it contained a million dollar ransom . The kidnapping was also a ruse : when Bunny took an unannounced trip , her friends ( the nihilists ) faked a kidnapping to be able to extort money from Lebowski . Walter and the Dude confront the Big Lebowski , who refuses to admit responsibility , but is thrown out of his wheelchair by Walter , who believes that he 's faking his paralysis . The affair apparently over , the Dude and his bowling teammates return to the bowling alley . As they leave , they are confronted in the parking lot by the nihilists , who have set the Dude 's car on fire . They , once again , demand the ransom money . Even after the Dude and Walter explain they do n't have the money , the nihilists try to rob them anyway . Walter violently beats all three , biting the ear off of one . However , in the excitement , Donny suffers a fatal heart attack . Walter and the Dude go to the beach to scatter Donny 's ashes . Walter turns an informal eulogy into a tribute to the Vietnam War . After accidentally covering the Dude with Donny 's ashes , and after a brief argument , Walter hugs him and says , `` Come on , Dude . Fuck it , man . Let 's go bowling . '' At the bowling alley , the story 's cowboy narrator tells the viewer that Maude is pregnant with a `` little Lebowski '' and expresses his hope that the Dude and Walter will win the bowling tournament . Cast ( edit ) Jeff Bridges as Jeffrey `` The Dude '' Lebowski . Bridges had heard or was told by the Coen brothers that they had written a screenplay for him . John Goodman as Walter Sobchak . Walter was based , in part , on screenwriter and director John Milius . Steve Buscemi as Theodore Donald `` Donny '' Kerabatsos . Walter 's repeated response , `` Shut the fuck up , Donny ! '' is a reference to Fargo , in which Buscemi 's character was constantly talking . David Huddleston as Jeffrey `` The Big '' Lebowski Julianne Moore as Maude Lebowski Tara Reid as Bunny Lebowski . According to Reid , Charlize Theron tried out for the role . Philip Seymour Hoffman as Brandt Sam Elliott as The Stranger Ben Gazzara as Jackie Treehorn David Thewlis as Knox Harrington Peter Stormare , Torsten Voges , and Flea as Uli Kunkel , Franz , and Kieffer , a group of nihilist German musicians . The character of Uli originated on the set of Fargo between Ethan Coen and Stormare , who often spoke in a mock German accent . John Turturro as Jesus Quintana . The Coen brothers let Turturro come up with a lot of his own ideas for the character , like shining the bowling ball and the scene where he dances backwards , which he says was inspired by Muhammad Ali . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) The Dude is mostly inspired by Jeff Dowd , an American film producer and political activist the Coen brothers met while they were trying to find distribution for their first feature , Blood Simple . Dowd had been a member of the Seattle Seven , liked to drink White Russians , and was known as `` The Dude '' . The Dude was also partly based on a friend of the Coen brothers , Peter Exline ( now a member of the faculty at USC 's School of Cinematic Arts ) , a Vietnam War veteran who reportedly lived in a dump of an apartment and was proud of a little rug that `` tied the room together '' . Exline knew Barry Sonnenfeld from New York University and Sonnenfeld introduced Exline to the Coen brothers while they were trying to raise money for Blood Simple . Exline became friends with the Coens and in 1989 , told them all kinds of stories from his own life , including ones about his actor - writer friend Lewis Abernathy ( one of the inspirations for Walter ) , a fellow Vietnam vet who later became a private investigator and helped him track down and confront a high school kid who stole his car . As in the film , Exline 's car was impounded by the Los Angeles Police Department and Abernathy found an 8th grader 's homework under the passenger seat . Exline also belonged to an amateur softball league but the Coens changed it to bowling in the film , because `` it 's a very social sport where you can sit around and drink and smoke while engaging in inane conversation '' . The Coens met filmmaker John Milius , when they were in Los Angeles making Barton Fink and incorporated his love of guns and the military into the character of Walter . John Milius introduced the Coen Brothers to one of his best friends , Jim Ganzer , who would have been another source of inferences to create Jeff Bridges ' character . Also known as the Dude , Ganzer and his gang , typical Malibu surfers , served as inspiration as well for Milius 's film The Big Wednesday . According to Julianne Moore , the character of Maude was based on artist Carolee Schneemann `` who worked naked from a swing '' and on Yoko Ono . The character of Jesus Quintana was inspired , in part , by a performance the Coens had seen John Turturro give in 1988 , at the Public Theater in a play called Mi Puta Vida in which he played a pederast - type character , `` so we thought , let 's make Turturro a pederast . It 'll be something he can really run with , '' Joel said in an interview . The film 's overall structure was influenced by the detective fiction of Raymond Chandler . Ethan said , `` We wanted something that would generate a certain narrative feeling -- like a modern Raymond Chandler story , and that 's why it had to be set in Los Angeles ... We wanted to have a narrative flow , a story that moves like a Chandler book through different parts of town and different social classes . '' The use of the Stranger 's voice - over also came from Chandler as Joel remarked , `` He is a little bit of an audience substitute . In the movie adaptation of Chandler it 's the main character that speaks off - screen , but we did n't want to reproduce that though it obviously has echoes . It 's as if someone was commenting on the plot from an all - seeing point of view . And at the same time rediscovering the old earthiness of a Mark Twain . '' The significance of the bowling culture was , according to Joel , `` important in reflecting that period at the end of the fifties and the beginning of the sixties . That suited the retro side of the movie , slightly anachronistic , which sent us back to a not - so - far - away era , but one that was well and truly gone nevertheless . '' Screenplay ( edit ) The Big Lebowski was written around the same time as Barton Fink . When the Coen brothers wanted to make it , John Goodman was filming episodes for the Roseanne television program and Jeff Bridges was making the Walter Hill film Wild Bill . The Coens decided to make Fargo in the meantime . According to Ethan , `` the movie was conceived as pivoting around that relationship between the Dude and Walter '' , which sprang from the scenes between Barton Fink and Charlie Meadows in Barton Fink . They also came up with the idea of setting the film in contemporary L.A. , because the people who inspired the story lived in the area . When Pete Exline told them about the homework in a baggie incident , the Coens thought that that was very Raymond Chandler and decided to integrate elements of the author 's fiction into their script . Joel Coen cites Robert Altman 's The Long Goodbye as a primary influence on their film , in the sense that The Big Lebowski `` is just kind of informed by Chandler around the edges '' . When they started writing the script , the Coens wrote only 40 pages and then let it sit for a while before finishing it . This is a normal writing process for them , because they often `` encounter a problem at a certain stage , we pass to another project , then we come back to the first script . That way we 've already accumulated pieces for several future movies . '' In order to liven up a scene that they thought was too heavy on exposition , they added an `` effete art - world hanger - on '' , known as Knox Harrington , late in the screenwriting process . In the original script , the Dude 's car was a Chrysler LeBaron , as Dowd had once owned , but that car was not big enough to fit John Goodman so the Coens changed it to a Ford Torino . Pre-production ( edit ) PolyGram and Working Title Films , who had funded Fargo , backed The Big Lebowski with a budget of $15 million . In casting the film , Joel remarked , `` we tend to write both for people we know and have worked with , and some parts without knowing who 's going to play the role . In The Big Lebowski we did write for John ( Goodman ) and Steve ( Buscemi ) , but we did n't know who was getting the Jeff Bridges role . '' In preparation for his role , Bridges met Dowd but actually `` drew on myself a lot from back in the Sixties and Seventies . I lived in a little place like that and did drugs , although I think I was a little more creative than the Dude . '' The actor went into his own closet with the film 's wardrobe person and picked out clothes that he had thought the Dude might wear . He wore his character 's clothes home because most of them were his own . The actor also adopted the same physicality as Dowd , including the slouching and his ample belly . Originally , Goodman wanted a different kind of beard for Walter but the Coen brothers insisted on the `` Gladiator '' or what they called the `` Chin Strap '' and he thought it would go well with his flattop haircut . For the film 's look , the Coens wanted to avoid the usual retro 1960s clichés like lava lamps , Day - Glo posters , and Grateful Dead music and for it to be `` consistent with the whole bowling thing , we wanted to keep the movie pretty bright and poppy '' , Joel said in an interview . For example , the star motif featured predominantly throughout the film , started with the film 's production designer Richard Heinrichs ' design for the bowling alley . According to Joel , he `` came up with the idea of just laying free - form neon stars on top of it and doing a similar free - form star thing on the interior '' . This carried over to the film 's dream sequences . `` Both dream sequences involve star patterns and are about lines radiating to a point . In the first dream sequence , the Dude gets knocked out and you see stars and they all coalesce into the overhead nightscape of L.A. The second dream sequence is an astral environment with a backdrop of stars '' , remembers Heinrichs . For Jackie Treehorn 's Malibu beach house , he was inspired by late 1950s and early 1960s bachelor pad furniture . The Coen brothers told Heinrichs that they wanted Treehorn 's beach party to be Inca - themed , with a `` very Hollywood - looking party in which young , oiled - down , fairly aggressive men walk around with appetizers and drinks . So there 's a very sacrificial quality to it . '' Cinematographer Roger Deakins discussed the look of the film with the Coens during pre-production . They told him that they wanted some parts of the film to have a real and contemporary feeling and other parts , like the dream sequences , to have a very stylized look . Bill and Jacqui Landrum did all of the choreography for the film . For his dance sequence , Jack Kehler went through three three - hour rehearsals . The Coen brothers offered him three to four choices of classical music for him to pick from and he chose Modest Mussorgsky 's Pictures at an Exhibition . At each rehearsal , he went through each phase of the piece . Principal Photography ( edit ) Actual filming took place over an eleven - week period with location shooting in and around Los Angeles , including all of the bowling sequences at the Hollywood Star Lanes ( for three weeks ) and the Dude 's Busby Berkeley dream sequences in a converted airplane hangar . According to Joel , the only time they ever directed Bridges `` was when he would come over at the beginning of each scene and ask , ' Do you think the Dude burned one on the way over ? ' I 'd reply ' Yes ' usually , so Jeff would go over in the corner and start rubbing his eyes to get them bloodshot . '' Julianne Moore was sent the script while working on The Lost World : Jurassic Park . She worked only two weeks on the film , early and late during the production that went from January to April 1997 while Sam Elliott was only on set for two days and did many takes of his final speech . Architecture ( edit ) The scenes in Jackie Treehorn 's house were shot in the Sheats Goldstein Residence , designed by John Lautner and built in 1963 in the Hollywood Hills . Deakins described the look of the fantasy scenes as being very crisp , monochromatic , and highly lit in order to afford greater depth of focus . However , with the Dude 's apartment , Deakins said , `` it 's kind of seedy and the light 's pretty nasty '' with a grittier look . The visual bridge between these two different looks was how he photographed the night scenes . Instead of adopting the usual blue moonlight or blue street lamp look , he used an orange sodium - light effect . The Coen brothers shot a lot of the film with wide - angle lens because , according to Joel , it made it easier to hold focus for a greater depth and it made camera movements more dynamic . To achieve the point - of - view of a rolling bowling ball the Coen brothers mounted a camera `` on something like a barbecue spit '' , according to Ethan , and then dollied it along the lane . The challenge for them was figuring out the relative speeds of the forward motion and the rotating motion . CGI was used to create the vantage point of the thumb hole in the bowling ball . Soundtrack ( edit ) The Big Lebowski : Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Soundtrack album by Various artists Released February 24 , 1998 Genre Rock , classical , jazz , country , folk , pop Length 51 : 46 Label Mercury Producer T - Bone Burnett , Joel Coen , Ethan Coen Coen Brothers film soundtracks chronology Fargo ( 1996 ) Fargo 1996 The Big Lebowski ( 1998 ) O Brother , Where Art Thou ? ( 2000 ) O Brother , Where Art Thou ? 2000 The original score was composed by Carter Burwell , a veteran of all the Coen Brothers ' films . While the Coens were writing the screenplay they had Kenny Rogers ' `` Just Dropped In ( to See What Condition My Condition Was in ) '' , the Gipsy Kings ' cover of `` Hotel California '' , and several Creedence Clearwater Revival songs in mind . They asked T - Bone Burnett ( who would later work with the Coens on O Brother , Where Art Thou ? and Inside Llewyn Davis ) to pick songs for the soundtrack of the film . They knew that they wanted different genres of music from different times but , as Joel remembers , `` T - Bone even came up with some far - out Henry Mancini and Yma Sumac . '' Burnett was able to secure songs by Kenny Rogers and the Gipsy Kings and also added tracks by Captain Beefheart , Moondog and Bob Dylan 's `` The Man in Me '' ( from New Morning ) . However , he had a tough time securing the rights to Townes Van Zandt 's cover of the Rolling Stones ' `` Dead Flowers '' , which plays over the film 's closing credits . Former Stones manager Allen Klein owned the rights to the song and wanted $150,000 for it . Burnett convinced Klein to watch an early cut of the film and remembers , `` It got to the part where the Dude says , ' I hate the fuckin ' Eagles , man ! ' Klein stands up and says , ' That 's it , you can have the song ! ' That was beautiful . '' Burnett was going to be credited on the film as `` Music Supervisor '' , but asked his credit to be `` Music Archivist '' because he `` hated the notion of being a supervisor ; I would n't want anyone to think of me as management '' . For Joel , `` the original music , as with other elements of the movie , had to echo the retro sounds of the Sixties and early Seventies '' . Music defines each character . For example , `` Tumbling Tumbleweeds '' by Bob Nolan was chosen for the Stranger at the time the Coens wrote the screenplay , as was `` Lujon '' by Henry Mancini for Jackie Treehorn . `` The German nihilists are accompanied by techno - pop and Jeff Bridges by Creedence . So there 's a musical signature for each of them '' , remarked Ethan in an interview . The character Uli Kunkel was in the German electronic band Autobahn , a homage to the band Kraftwerk . The album cover of their record Nagelbett ( bed of nails ) is a parody of the Kraftwerk album cover for The Man - Machine and the group name Autobahn shares the name of a Kraftwerk song and album . In the lyrics the phrase `` We believe in nothing '' is repeated with electronic distortion . This is a reference to Autobahn 's nihilism in the film . No .

It was also screened at the 48th Berlin International Film Festival before opening in North America on March 6 , 1998 in 1,207 theaters . It grossed USD $5.5 million on its opening weekend , grossing US $17 million in the United States , just above its US $15 million budget . The film 's worldwide gross outside of the US was $28 million , bringing its worldwide gross to $46,189,568 . Many critics and audiences have likened the film to a modern Western , while many others dispute this , or liken it to a crime novel that revolves around mistaken identity plot devices . Peter Howell , in his review for the Toronto Star , wrote : `` It 's hard to believe that this is the work of a team that won an Oscar last year for the original screenplay of Fargo . There 's a large amount of profanity in the movie , which seems a weak attempt to paper over dialogue gaps . '' Howell revised his opinion in a later review , and more recently stated that `` it may just be my favourite Coen Bros. film . '' Todd McCarthy in Variety magazine wrote : `` One of the film 's indisputable triumphs is its soundtrack , which mixes Carter Burwell 's original score with classic pop tunes and some fabulous covers . '' USA Today gave the film three out of four stars and felt that the Dude was `` too passive a hero to sustain interest '' , but that there was `` enough startling brilliance here to suggest that , just like the Dude , those smarty - pants Coens will abide '' . In his review for the Washington Post , Desson Howe praised the Coens and `` their inspired , absurdist taste for weird , peculiar Americana -- but a sort of neo-Americana that is entirely invented -- the Coens have defined and mastered their own bizarre subgenre . No one does it like them and , it almost goes without saying , no one does it better . '' Janet Maslin praised Bridges ' performance in her review for The New York Times : `` Mr. Bridges finds a role so right for him that he seems never to have been anywhere else . Watch this performance to see shambling executed with nonchalant grace and a seemingly out - to - lunch character played with fine comic flair . '' Andrew Sarris , in his review for the New York Observer , wrote : `` The result is a lot of laughs and a feeling of awe toward the craftsmanship involved . I doubt that there 'll be anything else like it the rest of this year . '' In a five star review for Empire Magazine , Ian Nathan wrote : `` For those who delight in the Coens ' divinely abstract take on reality , this is pure nirvana '' and `` In a perfect world all movies would be made by the Coen brothers . '' Roger Ebert gave the film three stars out of four , describing it as `` weirdly engaging '' . In a 2010 review , Ebert gave The Big Lebowski four stars out of four and added the film to his `` Great Movies '' list . However , Jonathan Rosenbaum wrote in the Chicago Reader : `` To be sure , The Big Lebowski is packed with show - offy filmmaking and as a result is pretty entertaining . But insofar as it represents a moral position -- and the Coens ' relative styling of their figures invariably does -- it 's an elitist one , elevating salt - of - the - earth types like Bridges and Goodman ... over everyone else in the movie . '' Dave Kehr , in his review for the Daily News , criticized the film 's premise as a `` tired idea , and it produces an episodic , unstrung film '' . The Guardian criticized the film as `` a bunch of ideas shoveled into a bag and allowed to spill out at random . The film is infuriating , and will win no prizes . But it does have some terrific jokes . '' The Big Lebowski currently holds an approval rating of 81 % on Rotten Tomatoes , based on 88 reviews , with an average rating of 7.2 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Typically stunning visuals and sharp dialogue from the Coen Brothers , brought to life with strong performances from Goodman and Bridges . '' Legacy ( edit ) Since its original release , The Big Lebowski has become a cult classic . Ardent fans of the film call themselves `` achievers '' . Steve Palopoli wrote about the film 's emerging cult status in July 2002 . He first realized that the film had a cult following when he attended a midnight screening in 2000 at the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles and witnessed people quoting dialogue from the film to each other . Soon after the article appeared , the programmer for a local midnight film series in Santa Cruz decided to screen The Big Lebowski and on the first weekend they had to turn away several hundred people . The theater held the film over for six weeks , which had never happened before . Stars Julianne Moore and Jeff Bridges at the 2011 Lebowski Fest An annual festival , Lebowski Fest , began in Louisville , Kentucky , United States in 2002 with 150 fans showing up , and has since expanded to several other cities . The festival 's main event each year is a night of unlimited bowling with various contests including costume , trivia , hardest - and farthest - traveled contests . Held over a weekend , events typically include a pre-fest party with bands the night before the bowling event as well as a day - long outdoor party with bands , vendor booths and games . Various celebrities from the film have even attended some of the events , including Jeff Bridges who attended the Los Angeles event . The British equivalent , inspired by Lebowski Fest , is known as The Dude Abides and is held in London . Dudeism , a religion devoted largely to spreading the philosophy and lifestyle of the film 's main character , was founded in 2005 . Also known as The Church of the Latter - Day Dude , the organization has ordained over 220,000 `` Dudeist Priests '' all over the world via its website . Two species of African spider are named after the film and main character : Anelosimus biglebowski and Anelosimus dude , both described in 2006 . Additionally , an extinct Permian conifer genus is named after the film in honor of its creators . The first species described within this genus in 2007 is based on 270 - million - year - old plant fossils from Texas , and is called Lebowskia grandifolia . Entertainment Weekly ranked it 8th on their Funniest Movies of the Past 25 Years list . The film was also ranked No. 34 on their list of `` The Top 50 Cult Films '' and ranked No. 15 on the magazine 's `` The Cult 25 : The Essential Left - Field Movie Hits Since ' 83 '' list . In addition , the magazine also ranked The Dude No. 14 in their `` The 100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years '' poll . The film was also nominated for the prestigious Grand Prix of the Belgian Film Critics Association . The Big Lebowski was voted as the 10th best film set in Los Angeles in the last 25 years by a group of Los Angeles Times writers and editors with two criteria : `` The movie had to communicate some inherent truth about the L.A. experience , and only one film per director was allowed on the list . '' Empire magazine ranked Walter Sobchak No. 49 and the Dude No. 7 in their `` The 100 Greatest Movie Characters '' poll . Roger Ebert added The Big Lebowski to his list of `` Great Movies '' in March 2010 . In 2008 , the American Film Institute nominated this film for its Top 10 Mystery Films list . Use as social and political analysis ( edit ) The film has been used as a tool for analysis on a number of issues . In September 2008 , Slate published an article that interpreted The Big Lebowski as a political critique . The center piece of this viewpoint was that Walter Sobchak is `` a neocon '' , citing the film 's references to then President George H.W. Bush and the first Gulf War . A journal article by Brian Wall , published in the feminist journal Camera Obscura , uses the film to explain Karl Marx 's commodity fetishism and the feminist consequences of sexual fetishism . In That Rug Really Tied the Room Together , first published in 2001 , Joseph Natoli argues that The Dude represents a counter narrative to the post-Reaganomic entrepreneurial rush for `` return on investment '' on display in such films as Jerry Maguire and Forrest Gump . It has been used as a Carnivalesque critique of society , as an analysis on war and ethics , as a narrative on mass communication and US militarism and other issues . Home media ( edit ) Universal Studios Home Entertainment released a `` Collector 's Edition '' DVD on October 18 , 2005 with extra features that included an `` introduction by Mortimer Young '' , `` Jeff Bridges ' Photography '' , `` Making of The Big Lebowski '' , and `` Production Notes '' . In addition , a limited - edition `` Achiever 's Edition Gift Set '' also included The Big Lebowski Bowling Shammy Towel , four Collectible Coasters that included photographs and quotable lines from the film , and eight Exclusive Photo Cards from Jeff Bridges ' personal collection . A `` 10th Anniversary Edition '' was released on September 9 , 2008 and features all of the extras from the `` Collector 's Edition '' and `` The Dude 's Life : Strikes and Gutters ... Ups and Downs ... The Dude Abides '' theatrical trailer ( from the first DVD release ) , `` The Lebowski Fest : An Achiever 's Story '' , `` Flying Carpets and Bowling Pin Dreams : The Dream Sequences of the Dude '' , `` Interactive Map '' , `` Jeff Bridges Photo Book '' , and a `` Photo Gallery '' . There are both a standard release and a Limited Edition which features `` Bowling Ball Packaging '' and is individually numbered .

The film is also available in the Blu - ray Coen Brothers box set released in the UK , however this version is region free and will work in any Blu - ray player . Spin - off ( edit ) The Coen brothers have stated publicly that they will never make a sequel to The Big Lebowski . Nevertheless , John Turturro expressed keen interest in reprising his role as Jesus Quintana , and announced in 2014 that he had requested permission to use the character . In August 2016 , it was reported that Turturro is reprising his role as Jesus Quintana in Going Places , a spin - off of The Big Lebowski , based on the 1974 French film Going Places , with Turturro starring , writing , and directing ; it is currently filming . The Coen brothers , although having granted Turturro the right to use the character , will not be involved , and no other character from The Big Lebowski will be featured .

Cuomo Bridge after former New York Governor Mario Cuomo , is a twin cable - stayed bridge being built to replace the original Tappan Zee Bridge over New York 's Hudson River . The new twin spans will be located to the north of -- and roughly parallel to -- the existing Tappan Zee Bridge , crossing the Hudson River in a parallel east -- west direction . In the new bridge 's final configuration , the north span will carry the northbound and westbound automobile traffic of I - 87 and I - 287 ; it will also carry a shared - use path for bicycles and pedestrians . The south span will carry the southbound and eastbound automobile traffic of I - 87 and I - 287 . Tappan Zee Constructors began construction in 2013 . The north span officially opened to westbound traffic on August 26 , 2017 ; it also opened to eastbound traffic on October 6 , 2017 . Tappan Zee Constructors then began demolishing the old bridge . Eastbound traffic will be switched to the south span upon its completion . Both spans are expected to be operational by the end of 2018 . The official name of the bridge has been controversial since its announcement , with a petition and proposed legislation opposing the attachment of Mario Cuomo 's name to the bridge . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Construction progress 3 Public transportation 4 Naming 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Background ( edit ) The original Tappan Zee Bridge , built in a period of material shortages during the Korean War The Tappan Zee river crossing was named by 17th century Dutch settlers . The Tappan Zee Bridge and the smaller Bear Mountain Bridge are the only crossings of the stretch of the Hudson between Westchester and Rockland counties , both of which are part of New York City 's populous northern suburbs . The original Tappan Zee Bridge was a cantilever bridge built from 1952 to 1955 . The bridge was 3 miles ( 4.8 km ) long and spanned the Hudson at its second - widest point . It was the longest bridge in New York State , at a length of 16,013 feet ( 4,881 m ) including approaches . Built immediately after the Korean War , the bridge had a low construction budget of only $81 million and a designed life - span of only 50 years . During its first decade , the bridge carried fewer than 40,000 vehicles per day . By the 2000s , the bridge was `` decaying '' and `` overburdened '' . The deteriorating structure bore an average of 140,000 vehicles per day , substantially more traffic than its designed capacity . The collapse of Minnesota 's I - 35W Mississippi River bridge in 2007 raised worries about the Tappan Zee Bridge 's structural integrity . These concerns , together with traffic overcapacity and increased maintenance costs , escalated the serious discussions already ongoing about replacing the Tappan Zee with a tunnel or a new bridge . Six options were identified and submitted for project study and environmental review . The 1950s Tappan Zee bridge was retired from service in 2017 , as a replacement bridge was constructed . The new bridge is intended to last at least 100 years . Construction progress ( edit ) Aerial view of the new Tappan Zee Bridge being constructed next to the existing Tappan Zee Bridge ( August 2016 ) The Federal Highway Administration issued a report in October 2011 designating the Tappan Zee 's replacement to be a dual - span twin bridge . The new bridge is now under construction a few yards to the north of the existing bridge , and will connect to the existing highway approaches of the New York State Thruway ( I - 87 / I - 287 ) on both river banks . Construction began as scheduled during October 2013 , with completion targeted for 2017 . After some delays , the project is currently expected to be completed by June 15 , 2018 , at a cost of $3.98 billion . Originally , some motorists thought that bridge tolls could more than double ( to $12 - $15 for automobiles , eastbound only ) , rising to those of New York City 's Hudson River crossings . However , the state passed legislation freezing the toll on the bridge at $5 through 2020 in its 2016 legislative session . The new Tappan Zee Bridge was proposed to include four vehicle lanes on each span , for a total of eight lanes , as well as a shared - use bicycle and pedestrian path . Like its predecessor , the new Tappan Zee Bridge is to be administered by the New York State Thruway Authority . The authority is the project co-sponsor , along with the state Department of Transportation . The New York Metropolitan Transportation Council added the Tappan Zee Bridge to its list of projects eligible for federal funds in August 2012 . The United States Department of Transportation approved the plan on September 25 , 2012 . The approval process took fewer than 10 months as opposed to the traditional multi-year process as a result of being placed on a `` fast track '' for approval by the Obama Administration . On December 17 , 2012 , New York state officials dropped their proposal for a 45 percent increase on the state Thruway toll for trucks , while advancing a $3.14 billion project to replace the bridge . The new Tappan Zee Bridge was built by Tappan Zee Constructors , a design - build LLC composed of Fluor Corporation , American Bridge Company , Granite Construction Northeast and Traylor Bros . The Left Coast Lifter was used to install groups of pre-assembled girders one full span at a time . By the end of 2013 , General Electric had completed four seasons of dredging to remove contaminants from the river bottom . Approximately 70 percent of the sediments targeted for dredging were removed ( totaling more than 1,900,000 cubic yards ( 1,500,000 m ) of sediment ) . The project timeline originally indicated that the old bridge would be closed in 2016 and that the demolition of the old bridge would begin in February 2017 , however , that timeline has since been amended . The first span of the bridge opened to westbound traffic on August 26 , 2017 , and the project is expected to be completed by June 15 , 2018 . Under construction , day view ( left , May 2017 ) and night view ( right , September 2016 ) When completed , the new Tappan Zee Bridge will be one of the widest cable - stayed bridges in the world , having a combined width across both decks of 183 feet ( 56 m ) . The new spans will equal the width of the relatively short - span , cable - stayed Leonard Zakim Bridge in downtown Boston . Turkey 's 3rd Bosphorus bridge , completed in 2016 , has a single deck about 192 feet ( 59 m ) wide . The new Tappan Zee Bridge will also be one of the longest cable - stayed spans in the nation . On July 19 , 2016 , a crane used for the construction of the bridge collapsed onto the existing older bridge . Five people were injured , including three drivers and two bridge workers ; no one was killed or critically injured . The new northbound / westbound span opened on August 26 , 2017 . Southbound / eastbound traffic remained on the existing span until October 6 , 2017 , when it was shifted to the new northbound / westbound span to allow for the completion of the new southbound / eastbound span . The northbound / westbound span of the new Tappan Zee Bridge temporarily has four lanes in both directions until the new southbound / eastbound span is complete . Public Transportation ( edit ) West of the Tappan Zee , the 680,000 residents of Rockland and Orange counties currently have very limited mass transit to New York City via NJ Transit 's Port Jervis Line and Pascack Valley Line commuter rail services or Coach USA 's Rockland Coaches bus services . The bridge plan includes as an objective merely , `` Providing a crossing that does not preclude future trans - Hudson transit services . '' A proposed bus rapid transit system using the new bridge was shelved as too expensive . However , the bridge was structurally built for expansion with BRT and / or commuter rail at a later date . The existing Tarrytown station of the Metro - North Railroad 's Hudson Line is located about 2,000 feet ( 610 m ) from the new bridge 's eastern landing . In 2011 , the state estimated that a bus connector to the station would cost about $151 million , about 3 percent of the bridge 's projected cost . Responding to widespread concerns about the lack of new public transit service , bridge planners agreed only to build one `` dedicated express bus lane '' in each direction for use during rush hour . Naming ( edit ) During construction , the project 's website referred to the crossing as the `` New NY Bridge '' . However , other sources referred to the crossing as the `` New Tappan Zee Bridge '' . Governor Andrew Cuomo was successful in passing legislation to name the bridge after his father , former Governor Mario Cuomo , on June 29 , 2017 . This has been met with stiff criticism as a Reclaim New York Initiative poll of Rockland and Westchester county residents found only 14.7 % of respondents support the new name . Many have cited the timing of the New York State legislature vote at the last session before the summer term ended and the last chance to enact a state budget . As of November 29 , 2017 , over 100,000 people have signed a Change.org petition called `` Return the Cuomo Bridge its original name : The Tappan Zee . That bridge is our history . '' On December 6 , 2017 , State Assemblyman Kevin Byrne , a Republican from Mahopac in Putnam County , announced that he would introduce legislation to revert the name of the bridge to `` Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge '' , after former Governor Malcolm Wilson . The old Tappan Zee Bridge had been named for Wilson from 1994 to June 2017 .

The Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge opened to traffic in 1955 and , until its retirement on October 6 , 2017 , was a vital artery for residents , commuters , travelers and commercial traffic . Bridge traffic grew to about 140,000 vehicles per day in 2016 , far more than the Tappan Zee was designed to support . Heavy traffic , narrow lanes and the lack of emergency shoulders had the potential to create unsafe driving conditions . As a result , the bridge had twice the average accident rate per mile as the rest of the 570 - mile Thruway system . Hundreds of millions of dollars were spent to maintain the structure in recent years , and the cost of maintaining it for the foreseeable future rivaled the cost of the new bridge , with no improvements to current traffic conditions . The New York State Thruway Authority retired the bridge on Oct. 6 , 2017 , after nearly 62 years of service . Jump up ^ `` Tappan Zee Bridge has received ' poor ' ratings '' . Poughkeepsie Journal .

when will new tappan zee bridge be completed
[ "Tappan Zee Constructors began construction in 2013. The north span officially opened to westbound traffic on August 26, 2017; it also opened to eastbound traffic on October 6, 2017. Tappan Zee Constructors then began demolishing the old bridge. Eastbound traffic will be switched to the south span upon its completion. Both spans are expected to be operational by the end of 2018.[4]" ]

Alexander Fleming was the first to suggest the Penicillium mould must secrete an antibacterial substance , and the first to concentrate the active substance which he named penicillin in 1928 , and during the next twelve years he grew and distributed the original mould , but he was not the first to use its properties in medicine . Others involved in the mass production of penicillin include Ernst Chain , Howard Florey , Norman Heatley , and Edward Abraham . Year Location Descriptions Ancient times Egypt , Greece & India Many ancient cultures , including the ancient Egyptians , Greeks and in ancient India , already used moulds and other plants to treat infection . This worked because some moulds produce antibiotic substances . However , they could not identify or isolate the active component in the moulds . `` traditional '' Russia Russian peasants used warm soil as treatment for infected wounds . c. 150 BC Sri Lanka Soldiers in the army of king Dutugemunu ( 161 -- 137 BC ) are recorded to have stored oil cakes ( a traditional Sri Lankan sweetmeat ) for long periods in their hearth lofts before embarking on their campaigns , in order to make a poultice of the cakes to treat wounds . It is assumed that the oil cakes served the dual functions of desiccant and antibacterial . 1600s Poland Wet bread was mixed with spider webs ( containing spores ) to treat wounds . The technique was mentioned by Henryk Sienkiewicz in his 1884 book With Fire and Sword . 1640 England The idea of using mould as a form of treatment was recorded by apothecaries , such as John Parkinson , King 's Herbarian , who advocated the use of mould in his book on pharmacology . 1870 United Kingdom Sir John Scott Burdon - Sanderson , who started out at St. Mary 's Hospital 1852 -- 1858 and as lecturer there 1854 -- 1862 observed that culture fluid covered with mould would produce no bacteria . 1871 United Kingdom Burdon - Sanderson 's discovery prompted Joseph Lister , an English surgeon and the father of modern antisepsis to investigate that urine samples contaminated with mould did not allow the growth of bacteria . He also described the antibacterial action on human tissue of what he called Penicillium glaucum . A nurse at King 's College Hospital whose wounds did not respond to any antiseptic , was then given another substance that cured her , and Lister 's registrar informed her that it was called Penicillium . 1874 United Kingdom William Roberts observed that bacterial contamination is generally absent in cultures of the mould Penicillium glaucum . 1875 United Kingdom John Tyndall followed up on Burdon - Sanderson 's work and demonstrated to the Royal Society the antibacterial action of the Penicillium fungus . 1875 Bacillus anthracis was shown to cause anthrax . This was the first demonstration that a specific bacterium caused a specific disease . 1877 France Louis Pasteur and Jules Francois Joubert observed that cultures of the anthrax bacilli , when contaminated with moulds , became inhibited . Some references say that Pasteur identified the strain as Penicillium notatum . 1887 France Garré found similar results . 1895 Italy Vincenzo Tiberio , physician of the University of Naples published a research about a mould in a water well in Arzano , Italy that had an antibacterial action . 1897 France Ernest Duchesne at École du Service de Santé Militaire in Lyon independently discovered healing properties of a Penicillium glaucum mould , even curing infected guinea pigs of typhoid . He published a dissertation in 1897 but this was ignored by the Institut Pasteur . However Duchesne was himself using a discovery made by Arab stable boys , who were using moulds to cure sores on horses . He did not claim that the mould contained any antibacterial substance , only that the mould somehow protected the animals . Duchesne cured typhoid , but the penicillin isolated by Fleming does not cure typhoid . Duchesne injected a mould with the fungus Penicillium glaucum . In contrast , Fleming isolated the substance penicillin from the mould Penicillium notatum . The term Penicillium glaucum was used as a catch - all phrase at the time for different fungi , but not for Penicillium notatum and the mould was unfortunately not preserved , which makes it impossible to be certain today which fungus might have been responsible for the cure , and consequently , even less certain which substance was responsible . 1920 Belgium Andre Gratia and Sara Dath observed a fungal contamination in one of their Staphylococcus aureus cultures that was inhibiting the growth of the bacterium . They identified this as a species of Penicillium and presented their observations as a paper . There was little attention to this paper . 1923 Costa Rica An Institut Pasteur scientist , Costa Rican Clodomiro Picado Twight recorded the antibiotic effect of Penicillium . 1928 United Kingdom Scottish biologist Sir Alexander Fleming noticed a halo of inhibition of bacterial growth around a contaminant blue - green mould on a Staphylococcus plate culture . He concluded that the mould was releasing a substance that was inhibiting bacterial growth . He grew a pure culture of the mould and discovered that it was Penicillium notatum . With help from a chemist , he concentrated what he later named `` penicillin '' . During the next twelve years , he grew and distributed the original mould , unsuccessfully trying to get help from any chemist that had enough skill to make a stable form of it , for mass production . 1930 United Kingdom Cecil George Paine , a pathologist at the Royal Infirmary in Sheffield , attempted to treat sycosis ( eruptions in beard follicles ) with penicillin but was unsuccessful , probably because the drug did not penetrate deep enough . Moving on to ophthalmia neonatorum , a gonococcal infection in babies , he achieved the first cure on 25 November 1930 . He cured four patients ( one adult , the others babies ) of eye infections , although a fifth patient was not so lucky . 1938 United Kingdom In Oxford , Howard Walter Florey organized his large and very skilled biochemical research team , notable among them Ernst Boris Chain and Norman Heatley , to undertake innovative work to produce a stable penicillin . 1941 -- 1943 USA Peoria , Illinois : Moyer , Coghill and Raper at the USDA Northern Regional Research Laboratory ( NRRL ) developed methods for industrialized penicillin production and isolated higher - yielding strains of the Penicillium fungus . In December , 1942 survivors of the Cocoanut Grove fire in Boston were the first burn patients to be successfully treated with penicillin . 1941 -- 1944 USA Brooklyn , New York : Jasper H. Kane and other Pfizer scientists developed the practical , deep - tank fermentation method for production of large quantities of pharmaceutical - grade penicillin . 1945 United Kingdom Oxford : Using X-ray crystallographic analysis , Dorothy Hodgkin elucidated the correct chemical structure of penicillin . 1952 Austria Kundl , Tyrol : Hans Margreiter and Ernst Brandl of Biochemie ( now Sandoz ) developed the first acid - stable penicillin for oral administration , Penicillin V . 1957 USA Chemist John C. Sheehan at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ) completed the first chemical synthesis of penicillin in 1957 .

They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League ( NHL ) . They have won six Stanley Cup championships since their founding in 1926 . The Blackhawks are one of the `` Original Six '' NHL teams along with the Detroit Red Wings , Montreal Canadiens , Toronto Maple Leafs , Boston Bruins and New York Rangers . Since 1994 , the club 's home rink is the United Center , which they share with the NBA 's Chicago Bulls . The club had previously played for 65 years at Chicago Stadium . The club 's original owner was Frederic McLaughlin , who owned the club until his death in 1944 . Under McLaughlin , a `` hands - on '' owner who fired many coaches during his ownership , the club won two Stanley Cup titles . The club was then owned by the Norris family , who as owners of the Chicago Stadium were the club 's landlord , and owned stakes in several of the NHL teams . At first , the Norris ownership was as part of a syndicate fronted by long - time executive Bill Tobin , and the team languished in favor of the Norris - owned Detroit Red Wings . After the senior James E. Norris died in 1952 , the Norris assets were spread among family members and James D. Norris became owner . Norris Jr. took an active interest in the team and under his ownership , the club won one Stanley Cup title in 1961 . After James D. Norris died in 1966 , the Wirtz family became owners of the franchise . In 2007 , the club came under the control of Rocky Wirtz , who is credited with turning around the organization , which had lost fan interest and competitiveness . Under Rocky Wirtz , the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup three times within six seasons ( from 2010 to 2015 ) .

At the same meeting , Hardwick arranged the purchase of the players of the Portland Rosebuds of the Western Hockey League for $100,000 from WHL President Frank Patrick in a deal brokered by Boston Bruins ' owner Charles Adams . However , only one month later , Hardwick 's group sold out to Chicago coffee tycoon Frederic McLaughlin . McLaughlin had been a commander with the 333rd Machine Gun Battalion of the 86th Infantry Division during World War I . This Division was nicknamed the `` Blackhawk Division '' after a Native American of the Sauk nation , Black Hawk , who was a prominent figure in the history of Illinois . McLaughlin named the new hockey team in honor of the military unit , making it one of many sports team names using Native Americans as icons . However , unlike the military division , the team 's name was spelled in two words as the `` Black Hawks '' until 1986 , when the club officially became the `` Blackhawks '' , based on the spelling found in the original franchise documents . The Black Hawks began play in the 1926 -- 27 season , along with new expansion franchises Detroit Cougars and New York Rangers . The team had to face immediate competition in Chicago from Eddie Livingstone 's rival Chicago Cardinals , which played in the same building . McLaughlin took a very active role in running the team despite having no background in the sport . McLaughlin hired Bill Tobin , a former goaltender who had played in the Western league , as his assistant , but directed the team himself . He was also very interested in promoting American hockey players , then very rare in professional hockey . Several of them , including Doc Romnes , Taffy Abel , Alex Levinsky , Mike Karakas and Cully Dahlstrom , become staples with the club , and under McLaughlin , the Black Hawks were the first NHL team with an all - American - born lineup . The McLaughlin era ( 1926 -- 1944 ) ( edit ) The club played their first game on November 17 , 1926 at the Chicago Coliseum . The Hawks ' first season was a moderate success . They played their first game on November 17 when they played the Toronto St. Patricks in the Chicago Coliseum . The Black Hawks won their first game 4 -- 1 , in front of a crowd of over 7,000 . They ended up finishing the season in third place with a record of 19 -- 22 -- 3 . The Black Hawks lost the 1927 first - round playoff series to the Boston Bruins . Following the series , McLaughlin fired head coach Pete Muldoon . According to Jim Coleman , sportswriter for the Toronto - based The Globe and Mail , McLaughlin felt the ' Hawks were good enough to finish first . Muldoon disagreed , and in a fit of pique , McLaughlin fired him . According to Coleman , Muldoon responded by yelling , `` Fire me , Major , and you 'll never finish first . I 'll put a curse on this team that will hoodoo it until the end of time . '' The Curse of Muldoon was born -- although Coleman admitted years after the fact that he had fabricated the whole incident -- and became one of the first widely known sports `` curses . '' While the team would go on to win three Stanley Cups in its first 39 years of existence , it did so without ever having finished in first place , either in a single - or multi-division format . The Black Hawks proceeded to have the worst record in the League in 1927 -- 28 , winning only seven of 44 games . Interior of Chicago Stadium in February 1930 , prior to a game with the Hawks and the Montreal Canadiens . The team moved into the arena in the 1929 -- 30 season . For the 1928 -- 29 season , the Black Hawks were originally slated to play in the new Chicago Stadium , but due to construction delays and a dispute between McLaughlin and Chicago Stadium promoter Paddy Harmon , the Black Hawks instead divided their time between the Coliseum , the Detroit Olympia and the Peace Bridge Arena in Fort Erie , Ontario . They moved to Chicago Stadium the following season . By 1931 , they reached their first Stanley Cup Final , with goal - scorer Johnny Gottselig , Cy Wentworth on defense , and Charlie Gardiner in goal , but fizzled in the final two games against the Montreal Canadiens . Chicago had another stellar season in 1932 , but that did not translate into playoff success . However , two years later , Gardiner led his team to victory by shutting out the Detroit Red Wings in the final game of the Stanley Cup Finals . The score after double overtime was 1 -- 0 . In 1938 , the Black Hawks had a record of 14 -- 25 -- 9 , and almost missed the playoffs . They stunned the Canadiens and New York Americans on overtime goals in the deciding games of both semi-final series , advancing to the 1938 Stanley Cup Finals against the Toronto Maple Leafs . Black Hawks goalie Mike Karakas was injured and could not play , forcing a desperate Chicago team to pull minor - leaguer ( Pittsburgh Hornets ) Alfie Moore out of a Toronto bar and onto the ice . Moore played one game and won it . Toronto refused to let Moore play the next , and Chicago used Paul Goodman in game two and lost the game . However , for games three and four , Karakas was fitted with a special skate to protect his injured toe , and the team won both games . It was too late for Toronto , as the Hawks won their second championship . As of 2014 , the 1938 Black Hawks possess the poorest regular - season record of any Stanley Cup champion . The Black Hawks returned to the Finals in 1944 behind Doug Bentley 's 38 - goal season with linemate Clint Smith leading the team in assists . After upsetting the Red Wings in the semi-finals , they were promptly dispatched by the dominant Canadiens in four games . The Norris era ( 1944 -- 1966 ) ( edit ) Owner and founder Frederic McLaughlin died in December 1944 . His estate sold the team to a syndicate headed by longtime team president Bill Tobin . However , Tobin was only a puppet for James E. Norris , who owned the rival Red Wings . Norris had also been the Black Hawks ' landlord since his 1936 purchase of Chicago Stadium . For the next eight years , the Norris - Tobin ownership , as a rule , paid almost no attention to the Black Hawks . Nearly every trade made between Detroit and Chicago ended up being Red Wing heists . As a result , for the next several years , Chicago was the model of futility in the NHL . Between 1945 and 1958 , they only made the playoffs twice . Upon Norris ' death , his eldest son , James D. Norris , and Red Wings minority owner Arthur Wirtz ( the senior Norris ' original partner in buying the Red Wings 23 years earlier ) took over the floundering club . They guided it through financial reverses , and rebuilt the team from there . One of their first moves was to hire former Detroit coach and General Manager Tommy Ivan as general manager . Signed as prospects in the late - 1950s , Bobby Hull ( left ) , Stan Mikita ( center ) , and Pierre Pilote ( right ) , eventually rose to become preeminent stars in Chicago . In the late 1950s , the Hawks struck gold , picking up three young prospects ( forwards Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita and defenseman Pierre Pilote ) , as well as obtaining both star goaltender Glenn Hall and veteran forward Ted Lindsay ( who had just had a career season with 30 goals and 55 assists ) from Detroit . Hull , Mikita , Pilote and Hall became preeminent stars in Chicago , and all four would eventually be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame . After two first - round exits at the hands of the eventual champions from Montreal in 1959 and 1960 , it was expected that the Canadiens would once again beat the Hawks when they met in the semi-finals in 1961 . A defensive plan that completely wore down Montreal 's superstars worked , however , as Chicago won the series in six games . They then bested the Wings to win their third Stanley Cup championship . Ron Murphy and Eric Nesterenko battle in front of the Toronto net . The Hawks made the Cup Finals twice more in the 1960s , losing to the Leafs in 1962 and the Canadiens in 1965 . They remained a force to be reckoned with throughout the decade , with Hull enjoying four 50 - goal seasons , Mikita winning back - to - back scoring titles and MVP accolades , Pilote winning three consecutive Norris Trophies , and Hall being named the First or Second All - Star goaltender eight out of nine seasons . Hull and Mikita especially were widely regarded as the most feared one - two punch in the league . However , despite a strong supporting cast which included Bill Hay , Ken Wharram , Phil Esposito , Moose Vasko , Doug Mohns and Pat Stapleton , the Hawks never quite put it all together . In 1966 -- 67 , the last season of the six - team NHL , the Black Hawks finished first , breaking the supposed Curse of Muldoon , 23 years after the death of Frederic McLaughlin . However , they lost in the semi-finals to Toronto , who went on to win their last Stanley Cup to date . Afterward , Coleman , who first printed the story of the curse in 1943 , admitted that he made the story up to break a writer 's block he had as a column deadline approached . The Arthur Wirtz era ( 1966 -- 1983 ) ( edit ) James D. Norris died in 1966 . One of his last moves in the NHL was to arrange an expansion franchise in St. Louis , where he owned the St. Louis Arena . Tobin died in 1963 , a club vice-president until his death . The ownership of the Black Hawks now came under the control of Arthur Wirtz and his son Bill Wirtz . Hall was drafted by the expansion St. Louis Blues for the 1967 -- 68 season , while Pilote was traded to the Maple Leafs for Jim Pappin in 1968 . In the 1968 -- 69 season , despite Hull breaking his own previous record of 54 goals in a season with 58 , the Black Hawks missed the playoffs for the first time since 1958 -- and the last time before 1997 -- 98 . In 1967 , the Black Hawks made a trade with the Boston Bruins that turned out to be one of the most one - sided in the history of the sport . Chicago sent young forwards Phil Esposito , Ken Hodge and Fred Stanfield to Boston in exchange for Pit Martin , Jack Norris and Gilles Marotte . While Martin would star for the Hawks for many seasons , Esposito , Hodge , and Stanfield would lead the Bruins to the top of the league for several years and capture two Stanley Cups . In Boston , Phil Esposito set numerous scoring records en route to a career as one of the NHL 's all - time greats . Goaltender Tony Esposito tallied a franchise - high 418 wins between 1969 and 1983 . Nonetheless , in 1970 -- 71 NHL season , life was made easier for Chicago , as in an attempt to better balance the divisions , the expansion Buffalo Sabres and Vancouver Canucks were both placed in the East Division , while the Hawks moved into the West Division . They became the class of the West overnight , rampaging to a 46 -- 17 -- 15 record and an easy first - place finish . With second - year goalie Tony Esposito ( Phil 's younger brother and winner of the Calder Memorial Trophy for Rookie of the Year the previous season ) , Hull , his younger brother Dennis , Mikita , and sterling defensemen Stapleton , Keith Magnuson and Bill White , the Hawks reached the Stanley Cup final before bowing out to the Canadiens . A critical blow to the franchise came in 1972 -- 73 , though , with the start of the World Hockey Association . Long dissatisfied with how little he was paid as the league 's marquee star , Bobby Hull jumped to the upstart Winnipeg Jets for a million - dollar contract . Former Philadelphia Flyers star Andre Lacroix , who received very little ice time in his single season in Chicago , joined Hull , and the pair became two of the WHA 's great stars . The Hawks repeated their appearance in Cup Final that year , however , again losing to Montreal . Stapleton left for the WHA too after that year , depleting the team further . While the team led or was second in the West Division for four straight seasons , for the rest of the 1970s , the Black Hawks made the playoffs each year -- winning seven division championships in the decade in all -- but were never a successful Stanley Cup contender , losing 16 straight playoff games at one point . The team acquired legendary blueliner Bobby Orr from the Boston Bruins in 1976 , but ill health forced him to sit out for most of the season , and he eventually retired in 1979 , having played only 26 games for the Hawks . Mikita did the same the following year after playing 22 years in Chicago , the third - longest career for a single team in league history . By 1982 , the Black Hawks squeaked into the playoffs as the fourth seed in the Norris Division ( at the time the top four teams in each division automatically made the playoffs ) , and were one of the league 's Cinderella teams that year . Led by second - year Denis Savard 's 32 goals and 119 points and Doug Wilson 's 39 goals , the Hawks stunned the Minnesota North Stars and Blues in the playoffs before losing to another surprise team , the Vancouver Canucks , who made the Stanley Cup Finals . Chicago proved they were no fluke the next season , also making the third round before losing to the eventual runner - up Edmonton Oilers . After an off - year in 1984 , the Hawks again faced a now fresh - off - a-ring Edmonton offensive juggernaut of a team and lost in the third round in 1985 . The Bill Wirtz era ( 1983 -- 2007 ) ( edit ) In 1983 , Arthur Wirtz died and the club came under the sole control of Bill Wirtz . Although the Black Hawks continued to make the playoffs each season , the club began a slow decline , punctuated with an appearance in the 1992 Stanley Cup Finals . During the 1985 playoff series against Edmonton , the Black Hawks and their fans started a tradition of cheering during the singing of `` The Star - Spangled Banner . '' Moreover , prior to the 1986 -- 87 season , while going through the team 's records , someone discovered the team 's original NHL contract , and found that the name `` Blackhawks '' was printed as a compound word as opposed to two separate words , `` Black Hawks '' , which was the way most sources had been printing it for 60 years and as the team had always officially listed it . The name officially became `` Chicago Blackhawks '' from that point on . In the late 1980s , Chicago still made the playoffs on an annual basis , but made early - round exits each time . In 1988 -- 89 , after three - straight first - round defeats , and despite a fourth - place finish in their division in the regular season , Chicago made it to the Conference Final in the rookie seasons of both goalie Ed Belfour and center Jeremy Roenick . Once again , however , they would fail to make the Stanley Cup Final , losing to the eventual champions , the Calgary Flames . The following season , the Hawks did prove they were late - round playoff material , running away with the Norris Division title , but , yet again , the third round continued to stymie them , this time against the eventual champion Oilers , despite 1970s Soviet star goaltender Vladislav Tretiak coming to Chicago to become the Blackhawks ' goaltender coach . In 1990 -- 91 , Chicago was poised to fare even better in the playoffs , winning the Presidents ' Trophy for best regular - season record , but the Minnesota North Stars stunned them in six games in the first - round en route to an improbable Stanley Cup Final appearance . In 1991 -- 92 the Blackhawks -- with Roenick scoring 53 goals , Steve Larmer scoring 29 goals , Chris Chelios ( acquired from Montreal two years previously ) on defense , and Belfour in goal -- finally reached the Final after 19 years out of such status . The Blackhawks won 11 consecutive playoff games that year , which set an NHL record . However , they were swept four games to none by the Mario Lemieux - led defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins ( who , in sweeping the Blackhawks , tied the record Chicago had set only days before ) . Although the 4 -- 0 sweep indicates Pittsburgh 's dominance in won games , it was actually a close series that could have gone either way . Game 1 saw the Blackhawks squander leads of 3 -- 0 and 4 -- 1 , and would eventually be beaten 5 -- 4 after a Lemieux power - play goal with 9 seconds remaining in regulation . The Blackhawks most lackluster game was game two , losing 3 -- 1 . A frustrating loss of 1 -- 0 followed in game three , and a natural hat trick from Dirk Graham and stellar play from Dominik Hasek ( who showed indications of the goaltender he would later become ) could not secure a win in game four , which ended in 6 -- 5 final in favor of Pittsburgh . The defending NBA champion Chicago Bulls were in their finals in 1992 , but won their championship in six . Although this was the only year the city of Chicago would host a concurrent NBA / NHL finals in the same year , Blackhawks head coach Mike Keenan would see this again in New York when he coached the Rangers to their first Stanley Cup in 54 years in 1994 . Belfour posted a 40 - win season in 1992 -- 93 as the Hawks looked to go deep yet again , and Chelios accumulated career - high penalty time with 282 minutes in the box , but St. Louis stunned Chicago with a first - round sweep to continue Chicago 's playoff losing streak . The Blackhawks moved to the United Center ( pictured in 2006 ) during the 1994 -- 95 season . Although they finished near . 500 in 1994 , the Blackhawks again qualified for the playoffs . They were eliminated by eventual Western Conference finalist Toronto , but broke their playoff losing streak at 10 games with a game three win . It was n't enough , however , and the Blackhawks fell in six games . The 1993 -- 94 season also marked the Blackhawks ' last at the old Chicago Stadium , and the team moved into the new United Center in the lockout - shortened 1995 season . Bernie Nicholls and Joe Murphy both scored 20 goals over 48 games , and Chicago once again made it to the Western Conference Final , losing to the rival Detroit Red Wings . Also in 1994 , management fired Wayne Messmer , popular singer of `` The Star - Spangled Banner . '' Roenick , Belfour and Chelios were all traded away as the Blackhawks faltered through the late 1990s until they missed the playoffs by five points in 1998 for the first time in 29 years , one season short of tying the Boston Bruins ' record for the longest such streak in North American professional sports history . Chicago would also miss the playoffs for a second consecutive season in 1999 , and would later miss the playoffs in 2000 and 2001 . The millennium started with disappointment for the Blackhawks . Éric Daze , Alexei Zhamnov and Tony Amonte emerged as some of the team 's leading stars by this time . However , aside from a quick first - round exit in 2002 ( where they lost to the Blues in five games after winning Game 1 of the series ) , the ' Hawks were consistently out of the playoffs from the 1997 -- 98 season until the 2008 -- 09 season , in most years finishing well out of contention , despite finishing in third place in the Central Division six times . Amonte left for the Phoenix Coyotes in the summer of 2002 . During the 2002 -- 03 season , the Blackhawks finished third in the Central Division with 79 points , but would finish ninth in the Western Conference , which would make them miss the playoffs by 13 points . A somber note was struck in February 2004 when ESPN named the Blackhawks the worst franchise in professional sports . Indeed , the Blackhawks were viewed with much indifference by Chicagoans for much of the 1990s and early 2000s due to anger over several policies instituted by then - owner Bill Wirtz , who was derisively known as `` Dollar Bill '' . For example , Wirtz did not allow home games to be televised in the Chicago area , claiming it was unfair to the team 's season ticket holders . He also raised ticket prices to an average of $50 , among the most expensive in the NHL . The Chicago Wolves , an American Hockey League team based in Rosemont , Illinois , mocked the Blackhawks ' struggle by creating a marketing slogan , `` We Play Hockey The Old - Fashioned Way : We Actually Win . '' Following the lockout of the 2004 -- 05 season , new GM Dale Tallon set about restructuring the team in the hopes of making a playoff run . Tallon made several moves in the summer of 2005 , most notably the signing of Tampa Bay Lightning Stanley Cup - winning goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin and All - Star defenseman Adrian Aucoin . However , injuries plagued Khabibulin and Aucoin , among others , and the Blackhawks again finished well out of the playoffs with a 26 -- 43 -- 13 record -- next - to - last in the Western Conference and the second - worst in the NHL . The Blackhawks reached another low point on May 16 , 2006 , when they announced that popular TV / radio play - by - play announcer Pat Foley was not going to be brought back after 25 years with the team , a move unpopular amongst most Blackhawks fans . Foley then became the television / radio voice of the Chicago Wolves . With the third overall pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft , the team selected Jonathan Toews , who led the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux hockey team to the 2006 NCAA Frozen Four . The Blackhawks were eager to make a splash in the free - agent market , and offered big money to many of the top free agents . They were , however , denied , only being able to acquire two backup goaltenders in Patrick Lalime and Sebastien Caron . Chicago was one of the biggest buyers in the trade market , though , acquiring a future franchise player in left - winger Martin Havlat , as well as center Bryan Smolinski from the Ottawa Senators in a three - way deal that also involved the San Jose Sharks . The ' Hawks dealt forward Mark Bell to the Sharks , Michal Barinka and a 2008 second - round draft pick to the Senators , while Ottawa also received defenseman Tom Preissing and center Josh Hennessy from San Jose . Havlat gave the Blackhawks the talented , first - line caliber gamebreaker they so desperately needed . The Havlat trade was soon followed by another major trade -- winger and key Blackhawk player Kyle Calder was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for grinding defensive center Michal Handzus . The move caused a stir in Chicago ; Calder had won an increase in his contract through arbitration , which was accepted by the Hawks , but rather than ink their leading scorer , the Blackhawks decided to address their need for a proven center by acquiring Handzus . Injuries to both Havlat and Handzus hurt the Blackhawks , and Smolinski was eventually traded at the trade deadline to the Vancouver Canucks . On November 26 , 2006 , Blackhawks General Manager Dale Tallon fired head coach Trent Yawney and appointed assistant coach Denis Savard as the head coach . Savard had been the assistant coach of the Blackhawks since 1997 , the year after he retired as one of the most popular and successful Blackhawks players of all time . The Blackhawks continued to struggle , and finished last in the Central Division , 12 points out of the playoffs . They finished with the fourth worst record in the NHL , and in the Draft Lottery , won the opportunity to select first overall in the draft , whereas the team had never had a draft pick higher than third overall . They used the pick to draft right wing Patrick Kane from the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League ( OHL ) . The Rocky Wirtz era ( 2007 -- present ) ( edit ) 2007 -- 2009 : rebuilding ( edit ) On September 26 , 2007 , Bill Wirtz , the longtime owner of the Blackhawks , died after a brief battle with cancer . He was succeeded by his son , Rocky , who drastically altered his father 's long - standing policies . Midway into the 2007 -- 08 NHL season , the franchise experimented with a partnership with Comcast SportsNet Chicago and WGN - TV by airing selected Blackhawks home games on television . During the next season , Comcast and WGN began airing all of the team 's regular season games . Rocky also named John McDonough , formerly the president of the Chicago Cubs , as the franchise 's new president . Since taking over the position , McDonough has been an instrumental figure in the Blackhawks current marketing success . Wirtz was also able to bring back former Blackhawks greats Tony Esposito , Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull , as the franchise 's `` hockey ambassadors . '' Jonathan Toews during the 2008 -- 09 season . Named captain before the season started , he became the youngest player to captain the Hawks at age 20 . In addition to the changes in the team 's policies and front office , the younger Wirtz also made a concerted effort to rebuild the team . The Blackhawks roster was bolstered by the addition of Patrick Kane , the first overall selection in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft , who led all rookies in points . Kane and Jonathan Toews were finalists for the Calder Memorial Trophy , which is awarded to the NHL 's best rookie . Kane ultimately beat his teammate for the award . Kane finished the 2007 -- 08 season with 21 goals and 51 assists in 82 games . The Blackhawks finished with a record of 40 -- 34 -- 8 , missing the playoffs by three points . The 2007 -- 08 season marked the first time in six years that the team finished above . 500 . Prior to the 2008 -- 09 season opener , the Blackhawks named Toews , at 20 years and 79 days , as the new captain , succeeding the traded Lapointe and making him the third - youngest captain at the time of appointment . In addition to a new caption , the Blackhawks made several major roster changes before the 2008 -- 09 NHL season . The team traded Tuomo Ruutu , their longest tenured player , to the Carolina Hurricanes for forward Andrew Ladd on February 26 , 2008 . Later that day , the Blackhawks traded captain Martin Lapointe to the Ottawa Senators for a sixth - round draft pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft . On the first day of free agency , July 1 , the team signed goaltender Cristobal Huet to a four - year US $22.5 million contract , and later signed defenseman Brian Campbell to an eight - year , $56.8 million contract . The team also added former coaches Joel Quenneville and Scotty Bowman to their organization . The Blackhawks hosted the Detroit Red Wings at the 2009 NHL Winter Classic at Wrigley Field . On February 13 , 2008 , the Blackhawks announced they would hold their first fan convention . On July 16 , 2008 , the team announced that they would host the 2009 NHL Winter Classic on a temporary ice rink at Wrigley Field on New Year 's Day against fellow `` Original Six '' member Detroit Red Wings . The Detroit Red Wings defeated Chicago , 6 -- 4 . On June 16 , Pat Foley returned as the Blackhawks TV play - by - play man , replacing Dan Kelly . Foley called Blackhawk games from 1981 to 2006 and spent the next two years broadcasting for the Chicago Wolves . Foley was partnered with Eddie Olczyk to broadcast all of the Hawks games . The Blackhawks relieved Denis Savard of his head coaching duties , and replaced him with Joel Quenneville on October 16 , 2008 . Savard has since been brought back to the organization as an ambassador . The Blackhawks finished the 2008 -- 2009 regular season in second place in their division , with a record of 46 -- 24 -- 12 , putting them in fourth place in the Western Conference with 104 points . The Blackhawks clinched a playoff berth for the first time since the 2001 -- 02 season with a 3 -- 1 win over Nashville on April 3 . On April 8 , with a shootout loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets , the Blackhawks clinched their first 100 - point season in 17 years . The Blackhawks beat the fifth - seeded Calgary Flames in six games to advance to the Western Conference Semi-finals for the first time since 1996 . The team proceeded to defeat the third - seeded Vancouver Canucks in six games . The Blackhawks played the then Stanley Cup champions , the Detroit Red Wings , for the Western Conference Championship . They lost the series to the Red Wings in five games . During the 2008 -- 09 season , the team led the League in home attendance with a total of 912,155 , averaging 22,247 fans per game . This figure includes the 40,818 fans from the Winter Classic at Wrigley Field . Therefore , the total attendance for games hosted at the United Center is 871,337 , good for an average of 21,783 which still leads the league over Montreal 's 21,273 average . The Blackhawks welcomed their one millionth fan of the season at the United Center before game six of the Western Conference semi-finals on May 11 , 2009 . 2009 -- 10 : the Stanley Cup Returns to Chicago ( edit ) Chicago skyline with the CNA Center showing the Blackhawks logo , the Smurfit - Stone Building saying `` Go Hawks '' and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Tower saying `` Hawks win '' the night after the 2009 -- 10 Chicago Blackhawks won the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals , viewed from the Petrillo Music Shell lawn in Grant Park Prior to the 2009 -- 10 NHL season , the Blackhawks made another major free agent purchase , signing Marian Hossa to a 12 - year contract worth US $62.8 million . The team also acquired Tomas Kopecky , John Madden , and Richard Petiot . In early July , General Manager Dale Tallon and the Blackhawks management came under fire when the National Hockey League Players ' Association ( NHLPA ) claimed the team did not submit offers to their restricted free agents before the deadline . In the worst - case scenario , the team 's unsigned restricted free agents at the time , including Calder Memorial Trophy finalist Kris Versteeg , would have become unrestricted free agents . Despite the ordeal , the Blackhawks were able to sign Versteeg and all of their restricted free agents before the NHLPA could take further actions . On July 14 , 2009 , The Blackhawks demoted Tallon to the position of Senior Adviser . Stan Bowman , son of Scotty Bowman , was promoted to general manager . The Blackhawks continued to sell out games , with the best average attendance of 21,356 over Montreal 's 21,273 in the NHL , and had a total of 854,267 excluding the playoffs . The Blackhawks reached the one million mark in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the San Jose Sharks .

The Blackhawks re-signed Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews to contract extensions worth $31.5 million over five years , and Duncan Keith to a 13 - year extension worth $72 million on December 1 , 2009 . On April 6 , 2010 , the Hawks won their 50th game of the 2009 -- 10 season against the Dallas Stars , setting a new franchise record for wins in a season . The next night , April 7 , the Hawks notched their 109th point of the season against the St. Louis Blues , setting another franchise record . The Blackhawks made the playoffs for the second consecutive season with a regular - season record of 52 -- 22 -- 8 . They defeated the Nashville Predators in six games in the first round , before defeating the third - seeded Canucks for the second straight year , again in six games . The Blackhawks then swept the top - seeded San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference Finals. The team advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1992 , where they played the Philadelphia Flyers . The Blackhawks prevailed in six games to secure their fourth Stanley Cup in franchise history . The victory also ended the team 's 49 - year championship drought . 2010 -- 2012 ( edit ) The Blackhawks immediately faced salary cap constraints prior to the 2010 -- 11 NHL season . The team was forced to trade many players who played an integral role to their 2009 -- 10 Stanley Cup victory , including Dustin Byfuglien , Andrew Ladd , Kris Versteeg , Brent Sopel , Ben Eager , and Colin Fraser . The team was also unable to agree to terms with starting goaltender Antti Niemi , who left as restricted free agent to the San Jose Sharks . The Blackhawks signed journeyman Marty Turco as his replacement , but eventfully turned to rookie Corey Crawford to become their full - time starting goaltender . The Blackhawks also made a mid-season trade to acquire winger Michael Frolík from the Florida Panthers in exchange for Jack Skille , Hugh Jessiman and David Pacan . Amidst the roster turnaround , the Blackhawks finished the season with a 44 -- 29 -- 9 record and placed third in the Central Division and eight in Western Conference . The team 's playoff fate was determined on the final day of regular season . The Blackhawks lost their regular season finale to the Detroit Red Wings , but received the final seed in the Western Conference after the Minnesota Wild defeated the Dallas Stars . In the first round of the 2011 playoffs , the Blackhawks faced the top - seeded Vancouver Canucks , which marked the third consecutive post-season the two teams faced each other . The Canucks built a 3 -- 0 lead in the series before the Blackhawks were able to win three games in a row . Alex Burrows won Game 7 for the Canucks in overtime , 2 -- 1 . Before the 2011 -- 12 NHL season , the Blackhawks continued to make roster moves to optimize their salary cap situation . The team traded Troy Brouwer to the Washington Capitals for the 26th overall pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft ( Phillip Danault ) . The Blackhawks also traded defenseman Brian Campbell , who had one of the richest contracts in the franchise 's history , to the Florida Panthers . The team bolstered their forward depth by signing veterans Daniel Carcillo , Jamal Mayers , and Andrew Brunette , while also acquiring goaltender Ray Emery to back - up Crawford . The Blackhawks called - up prospects Brandon Saad , Andrew Shaw , Nick Leddy and Marcus Krüger , who became regular starters . The Blackhawks placed fourth in Central Division with 45 -- 26 -- 11 and qualified for the postseason for a fourth consecutive season . They faced the Phoenix Coyotes in the opening round , who ousted the Blackhawks in six games . The series saw five of the six games going to overtime , with Bryan Bickell ( game two ) and Jonathan Toews ( game five ) scoring the only Blackhawk overtime winners of the series . 2012 -- 13 : Presidents ' Trophy and fifth Stanley Cup ( edit ) The Blackhawks started the shortened 2012 -- 13 season with much success , by establishing several new franchise and NHL records . On January 27 , 2013 , the Blackhawks set a new franchise record for starting the season 6 -- 0 -- 0 with a win against the Detroit Red Wings . On February 19 the Blackhawks tied the NHL record previously set by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2006 -- 07 season for earning points in the first 16 consecutive games of a season , and beat the Ducks record ( 28 points ) by one point . On March 6 , the Blackhawks extended the NHL record to 24 games with a record of 21 -- 0 -- 3 , and the franchise record for most consecutive wins to 11 games . However , The Blackhawks lost 6 -- 2 to the Colorado Avalanche on March 8 . It was their first loss in regulation and ended their 24 - game streak in which they earned at least one point , an NHL record to start a season . The point streak was the third - longest in NHL history . The 2013 Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks meet President Obama at the White House . The United Center also recorded its 200th consecutive combined regular season and playoff Blackhawks sell - out on March 1 against the Columbus Blue Jackets , which began during the 2007 -- 08 season with the game on March 30 , 2008 against the Blue Jackets . The Blackhawks won the 2012 -- 13 President 's Trophy for the best regular season record in the league and clinched home - ice advantage throughout the entirety of the playoffs . After dispatching the Minnesota Wild in the first round , the Blackhawks faced the Detroit Red Wings in the Western Conference Semi-finals . After winning the series opener , the Blackhawks lost the next three games , putting Chicago on the edge of elimination . However , the Blackhawks clawed back , eventually winning the series on a goal by Brent Seabrook in overtime of Game 7 . The team then defeated the Los Angeles Kings in five games to secure a second Stanley Cup Final appearance in four seasons . The Blackhawks faced the Boston Bruins , another Original Six team , in the 2013 Stanley Cup Finals . It was the first time since 1979 that two Original Six teams have made the Stanley Cup Finals and the first time since 1945 that the last four teams to win the Stanley Cup were in the Conference Finals . The Bruins made their second appearance in the Finals in three years ( winning in 2011 ) and were making a similar resurgence as the Blackhawks . On June 24 , the Blackhawks defeated the Boston Bruins in the sixth game of the Stanley Cup Final to win the Stanley Cup for the 2012 -- 13 NHL season , having overcome a 2 -- 1 deficit with just over a minute remaining . Bryan Bickell and Dave Bolland scored goals with 1 : 16 and 0 : 58.3 remaining in the game , just 17 seconds apart , to win 3 -- 2 . 2013 -- 14 ( edit ) The Blackhawks played the Pittsburgh Penguins at Soldier Field for game four of the 2014 NHL Stadium Series . The Blackhawks began the 2013 -- 14 season in hopes of becoming the first team to win consecutive Championships since the Detroit Red Wings in 1997 and 1998 . The team was dramatically altered in the off - season to remain under the salary cap . The team traded Dave Bolland , Daniel Carcillo and Michael Frolik in exchange for future draft picks , while parting ways with Ray Emery and Viktor Stalberg . Despite these changes , The Blackhawks tallied a 28 -- 7 -- 7 record going into January 2014 . The team played their second outdoor game in franchise history against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Soldier Field as part of the 2014 NHL Stadium Series . The Blackhawks defeated the Penguins , 5 -- 1 , in front of 62,921 fans .

Selke Trophy . 2014 -- 15 : sixth Stanley Cup ( edit ) The Hawks faced the Washington Capitals at Nationals Park for the 2015 NHL Winter Classic . The Blackhawks ' roster remained largely intact following the 2013 -- 14 season . The team signed veteran center Brad Richards and rookie goaltender Scott Darling to one - year deals , and dealt defenseman Nick Leddy to the New York Islanders for three prospects . For the first half of the season , Patrick Kane led the team in scoring and points . The Blackhawks mustered a 30 -- 15 -- 2 record going into the All - Star break . The Blackhawks sent six players to the All - Star Game , including Kane , Jonathan Toews , Duncan Keith , Brent Seabrook , and Corey Crawford . The team also played in the 2015 NHL Winter Classic at Nationals Park in Washington , D.C. , where they lost to the Washington Capitals , 3 -- 2 . However , in late February , Kane suffered a shoulder injury that was expected to sideline him for the remainder of the regular season and much of the playoffs . The team called up rookie Teuvo Teravainen from the American Hockey League , and traded their first - round pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft to acquire center Antoine Vermette from the Arizona Coyotes . The Blackhawks also acquired veteran defenseman Kimmo Timonen from the Philadelphia Flyers for second round picks in 2015 and 2016 , and Andrew Desjardins from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Ben Smith . The Blackhawks finished the season with a 48 -- 28 -- 6 record , placing third in their division . The team allowed the fewest goals in the NHL .

Kane recovered quicker than projected and was ready for the start of the playoffs . The Blackhawks dispatched the Nashville Predators in six games , and swept the Minnesota Wild to advance to the Western Conference Finals for the fifth time in seven years . The top - seeded Anaheim Ducks held a 3 -- 2 lead in the series , but the Blackhawks rallied back in the series to win games six and seven . The team defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2015 Stanley Cup Finals to secure their third Stanley Cup in six seasons . 2015 -- present ( edit ) The Blackhawks ' roster experienced another dramatic reconstruction before the 2015 -- 16 NHL season . The team was unable to come to terms with pending free - agent , Brandon Saad , who had played a pivotal role in the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs . The Blackhawks traded Saad 's negotiation rights , along with prospects Alex Broadhurst and Michael Paliotta , to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for Artem Anisimov , Marko Daňo , Corey Tropp , Jeremy Morin and a fourth - round draft pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft . The Blackhawks were unable to re-sign unrestricted free - agents Brad Richards , Antoine Vermette , and Johnny Oduya due to salary cap constraints . The team then traded long - time veteran and fan - favorite Patrick Sharp along with Stephen Johns to the Dallas Stars in exchange for Trevor Daley and forward Ryan Garbutt in order to stay under the salary cap . Amidst the roster turnover , the Blackhawks signed free agent Artemi Panarin from the KHL to an entry - level deal . The Blackhawks offense was led by Patrick Kane , who tallied a league - best 106 points in 2015 - 16 . Kane was the NHL 's leading scorer , and won the MVP award for the season . Panarin , who skated on Kane 's line , won the Calder Memorial Trophy , awarded to the NHL 's best first year player . Midway through the season , the Blackhawks attempted to supplement their roster by making several trades . The Blackhawks dealt Jeremy Morin to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Richard Pánik . The team then reacquired Andrew Ladd from the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for their first round selection in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft and Marko Dano . The team then traded Phillip Danault and their 2018 second round pick to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for forwards Dale Weise and Tomas Fleischmann . The team finished with a 46 - 26 - 9 record , good for 103 points and third place in their division . The Blackhawks were defeated by the St. Louis Blues in a seven - game series in the first round of the 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs . The loss marked the Blackhawks earliest postseason exit since 2012 . Salary cap constraints forced the Blackhawks to make additional trades before the 2016 -- 17 NHL season . The team traded pending free - agent Andrew Shaw to Montreal in exchange for two - second round 2016 draft picks . The Blackhawks also traded Bryan Bickell and Teuvo Teräväinen to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for another 2016 second round pick in order to free additional salary cap space . The Blackhawks signed veteran Brian Campbell and KHL stand - out Michal Kempný during free agency . The team then turned to their farm system to replenish their depth . The Blackhawks promoted rookies Ryan Hartman , Gustav Forsling , Tyler Motte , Nick Schmaltz and Vince Hinostroza to their starting line - up to fill the vacancies left by Shaw , Bickell , and Teräväinen . Kane spearheaded the Blackhawks offense with 34 goals and 55 assists , tying for second in scoring during the regular season among all skaters . He was aided by his linemate , Panarin , who scored 31 goals and 43 assists . In addition to Kane and Panarin , Jonathan Toews , Marián Hossa , Artem Anisimov , and Richard Pánik each also scored at least 20 goals . Toews , Kane , Duncan Keith , and Corey Crawford were selected to play in the All - Star Game . The Blackhawks finished the season with 109 points , placing first in the Central Division and earning the top - seed in the Western Conference for the 2017 Stanley Cup playoffs . However , they were swept in the first round by the eighth - seeded Nashville Predators in one of the biggest upsets in NHL playoff history ; this was the first time that an eighth seed swept a playoff series against the top team in the conference . Goaltender Pekka Rinne and the Predators ' defense marginalized the Blackhawks ' offense , limiting the team to only three total goals in the series , including a pair of shutouts in Game 1 ( 1 - 0 ) and Game 2 ( 5 - 0 ) at the United Center to begin the series . Prior to the 2017 -- 18 season , the Blackhawks revealed that Marian Hossa would miss the entire 2017 -- 18 season due to a progressive skin disorder . The team made two major trades before the 2017 NHL Entry Draft ; veteran defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson was dealt to the Arizona Coyotes for Connor Murphy and Laurent Dauphin , while Artemi Panarin was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets to reacquire Brandon Saad in a four - player deal . Both Hjalmarsson and Hossa were core - members of the Blackhawks roster that won three Stanley Cups in 2010 , 2013 , and 2015 . The team also traded Scott Darling to the Carolina Hurricanes and center Marcus Kruger to the Vegas Golden Knights , while also losing defensemen Trevor van Riemsdyk to the Golden Knights in the expansion draft and Brian Campbell , who retired . The Blackhawks acquired wingers Patrick Sharp , Tommy Wingels , and Lance Bouma in free agency . The Blackhawks opened the 2017 -- 18 season with a resounding 10 -- 1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins . The Blackhawks were four games above . 500 with an 18 -- 14 -- 6 record at the end of December 2017 , and only four points out of a playoff spot . However , goaltender Corey Crawford missed much of 2018 due to an upper - body injury . Inconsistent defense and goaltending , coupled with limited offense resulted in the team falling to the bottom of the Central Division . The Blackhawks were eliminated from playoff contention on March 20 , 2018 , marking the first time in nine years that the team failed to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs . The team finished the season with a 33 -- 39 -- 10 record and 76 points in the standings . Team information ( edit ) Jerseys ( edit ) The Blackhawks wear predominantly red jerseys featuring three sets of black and white stripes along the sleeves and waist . The team 's logo is displayed on the front of each jersey , along with a ' C ' , representing ' Chicago ' , on each shoulder with two crossed tomahawks . The Blackhawks debuted this design in 1955 , and have since only made minor modifications to the jersey . In 2007 , The Blackhawks along with all other NHL teams , made minute changes to their uniforms by adding larger logo , a new collar with the NHL logo and a ' baseball - style cut along the bottom . The team previously donned alternate third jersey that was primarily black with red and white stripes between 1996 and 2007 . The Blackhawks brought this design back in 2008 , before making their 2009 Winter Classic jerseys their alternates between 2009 - 11 . The team has not used an alternate jersey home jersey since 2011 . The Blackhawks ' uniform was voted one of the 25 best in professional sports by Paul Lukas of GQ in November 2004 . The Hockey News voted the team 's jersey as the best in the NHL . Greg Wyshynski of Yahoo ! Sports listed the Blackhawks home jerseys as the second best NHL jersey in the history of the NHL in 2017 . The Blackhawks were voted to have the best uniform in the history of the NHL in a fan - vote conducted by the NHL in 2017 . The Blackhawks have donned Camouflage practice jerseys for Veterans Day to show support for servicemen since 2009 . Since 2009 , the Blackhawks have worn special camouflage jerseys on Veterans Day during their pregame warm - ups . The jerseys are later sold in auctions to raise money for the USO of Illinois . The Blackhawks wore jerseys based on the design worn in the 1936 -- 37 season for the 2009 NHL Winter Classic . The jersey is predominantly black with a large beige stripe across the chest ( also on the sleeves ) , with a red border , and an old - style circular Black Hawks logo . The Blackhawks used this Winter Classic design as their third jersey for the 2009 -- 10 season until they retired after the 2010 -- 11 season , with the only change in the design was by adding the familiar `` C '' with crossed tomahawks on the shoulders . For the 2014 NHL Stadium Series , the Blackhawks wore a black uniform similar to the alternates they wore from 1996 to 2009 , but the stripes around the waist are no longer straight , they are jagged around the sides in order to follow the shape of the bottom of the jersey . Keeping with stripes , the ones on the arms simply stop halfway round ; angled numbers are above these sleeve half - stripes . On one shoulder is the familiar `` C '' with crossed tomahawks logo and the Chicago 2014 Stadium Series logo on the other . Each 2014 NHL Stadium Series jerseys features chrome - treated logo designs inspired by the NHL shield . The chrome crest was developed using new technology that fuses print and embroidery and allows logos to be displayed as a high - resolution image incorporated into the crest . As a result , the design reduces the weight of the crest , creating in a lighter jersey . Numbering on the back of the jersey is enlarged and sleeve numbers are angled to improve visibility in outdoor venues . On December 21 , 2014 , the Blackhawks debuted a special decal on their helmets in remembrance of the passing of assistant equipment manager Clinton `` Clint '' Reif who died during the season for the remainder of the 2014 - 15 season . On the home jerseys , the helmet is black , so the patch was black with the letters `` CR '' being in white , On the away jerseys , the helmet is white , so the patch was white with the letters `` CR '' being black . The team wore a uniform which was inspired by their 1957 -- 58 jersey for the 2015 NHL Winter Classic . This uniform is nearly identical to the road uniform that the Blackhawks currently wear . The main differences between this design and the current road design comes in the form of the lace up collar , the name / number block font ( which is serifed ) , and the C - Tomahawk logo , which is mostly red , black , and white ( with a tad bit of yellow ) instead of being mostly red , yellow , green black and white . For the 2016 NHL Stadium Series , the Blackhawks wore a unique uniform for their game against the Minnesota Wild . This uniform is primarily white with black / red / black stripes on the sleeves and socks . The current logo is on the chest . Framed between the two black stripes and over the red stripe on the sleeve is the familiar `` C '' with crossed tomahawks . The collar of the uniform features two different colors . The four , six - pointed red stars from the Flag of Chicago is featured on the white portion of the collar , while the other side of the collar is black . Sleeve numbers have been shifted to the shoulders and enlarged . With the shoulders being black , the numbering is white . But , the numbering and lettering on the back is also enlarged and black in color . For the 2017 NHL Winter Classic , the Blackhawks wore uniforms very similar to what they wore at the 2015 NHL Winter Classic . These new uniforms however feature a few modifications that were made to them . The most notable changes are to the logo and the cross tomahawks . The logo this time is the appropriate logo that the franchise used in 1957 - 65 . But , they removed the roundel and the lettering so that just the logo itself stands out . The placement of the familiar `` C '' with crossed tomahawks is featured in the same position with the same striping pattern on the sleeve as the 2015 NHL Winter Classic uniform had . The only differences between the tomahawks from the 2015 NHL Winter Classic uniform and the 2017 NHL Winter Classic uniform are where the colors are placed for the tomahawk . The 2017 NHL Winter Classic patch is featured on the right shoulder . To honor the NHL 's centennial year , a special anniversary logo was designed for the remainder of the 2016 - 17 season , which started on January 1 , 2017 for all thirty teams , featuring a banner wrapped around the number 100 with the current NHL shield in the foreground . Both the banner and the number 100 are in same silver colour as the NHL shield . The Blackhawks wore this logo patch underneath the numbering on the right - sleeve on both the home and away jerseys . The Blackhawks debuted this patch on their home jerseys on January 5 , 2017 and then they debuted the patch on the away jerseys on January 13 , 2017 . All home and away jerseys for all thirty teams will continue to have patches of the NHL 's centennial emblem for the 2017 - 18 season , located above or below the numbers on their right sleeves , for at least up to the playing of the NHL 100 Classic on December 16 , 2017 . Adidas signed an agreement with the NHL to be the official outfitter of uniforms and licensed apparel for all teams , starting with the 2017 -- 18 season , replacing Reebok . The Reebok Edge template will now be retired in favor of the Adidas ' ADIZERO template . The home and away uniforms that were debuted in the 2007 - 08 season remains nearly identical with the exception of the new Adidas ADIZERO template and the new collar . With the new collar , the NHL shield remains but is no longer placed on a lower layer with flaps nearby , as it 's now front and center on a pentagon with a new `` Chrome Flex '' style . The waist stripes are now curved instead of being straight across . The Adidas logo replaces the Reebok logo on the back collar . For the entire 2018 - 19 season , on both the home and away uniforms , the Blackhawks are wearing memorial patches in remembrance of legend Stan Mikita , who passed away on August 7 , 2018 . The memorial patch features 21 in white on a black circle that is placed on the upper left corner on the front side of the uniform . Logo ( edit ) Further information : Chicago Blackhawks name and logo controversy This vintage logo was brought back in 1991 and 2008 ; it was their primary logo from the 1937 -- 38 to 1954 -- 55 seasons . McLaughlin 's wife , Irene Castle , designed the original version of the team 's logo , which featured a crudely - drawn black and white Native head in a circle . This design went through several significant changes between 1926 and 1955 . During this period , seven distinct versions of the primary logo were worn on the team 's uniforms . At the beginning of the 1955 -- 56 season , the outer circle was removed and the head began to resemble the team 's current primary logo . This crest and uniform went through subtle changes until the 1964 -- 65 season ; the basic logo and jersey design have remained constant ever since . In 2008 , The Hockey News ' staff voted the team 's main logo to be the best in the NHL . In 2010 , sports columnist Damien Cox called on the franchise to retire the `` racially insensitive '' logo , saying that , `` Clearly , no right - thinking person would name a team after an aboriginal figure these days any more than they would use Muslims or Africans or Chinese or any ethnic group to depict a specific sporting notion . '' Furthermore , the National Congress of American Indians ( NCAI ) believes that all Native - themed logos , including that of the Blackhawks , `` continue to profit from harmful stereotypes originated during a time when white superiority and segregation were common place . '' The Blackhawks have worked with the American Indian Center to help educate their community and fan base by sharing Native American culture and history . Scott Sypolt , executive counsel for the American Indian Center , commented on the logo and name controversy : Joe Podlasek , the executive director of the American Indian Center of Chicago , commented on their relationship , stating , `` ( The Hawks ) are far and away ahead of everyone else in forward - thinking . What they have done is engaged the community . In the other cities ( organizations ) want nothing to do with native people but yet they 're trying to say they respect us . '' However , this stance is markedly different from the one taken by the American Indian Center up until recent years . In 2010 , Joe Podlasek stated that , `` The stance is very clear . We want the Chicago Blackhawks logo to change . For us , that 's one of our grandfathers . Would you do that with your grandfather 's picture ? Take it and throw it on a rug ? Walk on it and dance on it ? '' John Blackhawk , Chairman of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska , has suggested that the change in position may be tied to contributions the team has recently begun making to the center : `` We all do contributions , but we do n't do it for the sake of wanting to be forgiven for something we 've done that 's offensive . '' Mascot ( edit ) The Blackhawks mascot is Tommy Hawk , an anthropomorphic black hawk who wears the Blackhawks ' four feathers on his head , along with a Blackhawks jersey and hockey pants . Tommy Hawk often participates in the T - shirt toss and puck chuck at the United Center . He walks around the concourse greeting fans before and during the game . The team introduced Tommy Hawk in the 2001 -- 02 season . Fight and goal songs ( edit ) `` Here Come the Hawks ! '' is the official fight song and introduction of the Chicago Blackhawks . The song was written by J. Swayzee , an avid Blackhawks fan , and produced by the Dick Marx Orchestra and Choir in 1968 and is heard quite often both in vocal and organ renditions during Blackhawks home games . In late 2007 the song `` Keys to the City '' was released by Ministry & Co Conspirators as a gift to the Blackhawks organization . The Blackhawks were the first NHL team to sound a horn whenever they scored a goal at home . Bill Wirtz donated his yacht 's horn to Chicago Stadium . The goal horn became a popular trend among other NHL teams after the Blackhawks played the Montreal Canadiens in the 1973 Stanley Cup Finals . The Blackhawks began playing `` Chelsea Dagger '' by The Fratellis as their official goal song during the 2008 - 09 NHL season . The Blackhawks also had dedicated goal songs for Patrick Kane ( `` Rock You Like a Hurricane '' by The Scorpions ) , Jonathan Toews ( `` Johnny B. Goode '' by Chuck Berry ) , and Patrick Sharp ( `` Sharp Dressed Man '' by ZZ Top ) . National anthem ( edit ) Jim Cornelison sings the `` Star Spangled Banner '' at the United Center It is a tradition for Blackhawks fans to applaud and cheer loudly during the singing of the national anthem . This tradition originated during a 1985 Campbell Conference playoff game at Chicago Stadium versus the Edmonton Oilers . Wayne Messmer , the Blackhawks home games national anthem singer from 1980 to 1994 , was the anthem singer when this tradition began . Jim Cornelison sings the national anthems for all home games and he is accompanied by organist Frank Pellico . Before Game 2 of the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals at the United Center , the cheering during the anthem was registered between 116 - 122 decibels . Practice facility ( edit ) The Blackhawks practice facility , the MB Ice Arena , is located in Chicago 's Near West Side . The 125,000 square - foot facility opened in 2017 and cost $65 million to construct . The MB Ice Arena also serves as community center and hosts youth , high school , and adult hockey and ice skating programs . Circus trip ( edit ) The Blackhawks and their arena mates , the Chicago Bulls , embarked on an annual two - week road trip in mid-November dating back to when both teams inhabited Chicago Stadium . The Wirtz Family , who at one point owned the Blackhawks , Bulls , and Chicago Stadium , would lease the venue to circus acts and ice skating troupes . The Blackhawks played between six and seven games in western Canada and California during this time . In November 2016 , the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus announced they would not be returning to the United Center in 2017 . Media and announcers ( edit ) Main article : List of Chicago Blackhawks broadcasters For the first time in team history , all 82 games plus playoffs were broadcast on television during the 2008 -- 09 season . At least 20 of them aired on WGN - TV ( Channel 9 ) , the first time the Blackhawks had been seen on local over-the - air television in 30 years . Games produced by WGN - TV through its WGN Sports department are not available in its superstation feed WGN America due to league broadcast rights restrictions . Other games not broadcast by WGN - TV are aired on regional sports network NBC Sports Chicago , the first time in at least 35 years that non-nationally broadcast home games were seen locally , either over-the - air or on cable . On February 15 , 2011 , it was announced that the team had renewed their broadcast contract with WGN - TV for the next five years , starting in the 2011 -- 12 NHL season . The deal was further extended for three more years on May 15 , 2014 , keeping the team on Channel 9 until the end of the 2018 -- 19 season . Radio broadcasts since the 1970s and into the mid-2000s varied between WBBM ( 780 ) and WMAQ / WSCR ( 670 ) , and often came into conflict with White Sox baseball by the start of April . On April 30 , 2008 , the team signed a three - year deal with WGN Radio ( 720 AM ) , with games airing alternately instead on WIND ( 560 AM ) in scheduling conflict situations during the baseball season due to the Cubs having contractual preference to air on WGN ; these moved to WGWG - LP ( Channel 6 / 87.7 FM , an analog television station carrying an audio - only sports talk format using a quirk in the FM band ) in mid-2014 when Tribune began a local marketing agreement with that station 's owner . During the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals , the Cubs agreed to allow the Blackhawks games to be broadcast on WGN and have the Cubs revert to WIND when there was a conflict . This allowed the Finals games to be heard over a larger area due to WGN 's clear - channel signal . All Blackhawk games are also streamed live on wgnradio.com , regardless of whether the games are on WGN or WGWG - LP . WLUP - FM ( 97.9 FM ) was also utilized as an alternate station .

It protects some of the best preserved Ancestral Puebloan archaeological sites in the United States . Created by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906 , the park occupies 52,485 acres ( 21,240 ha ) near the Four Corners region of the American Southwest . With more than 4,300 sites , including 600 cliff dwellings , it is the largest archaeological preserve in the U.S. Mesa Verde ( Spanish for `` green table '' ) is best known for structures such as Cliff Palace , thought to be the largest cliff dwelling in North America . Starting c. 7500 BCE , Mesa Verde was seasonally inhabited by a group of nomadic Paleo - Indians known as the Foothills Mountain Complex . The variety of projectile points found in the region indicates they were influenced by surrounding areas , including the Great Basin , the San Juan Basin , and the Rio Grande Valley . Later , Archaic people established semi-permanent rockshelters in and around the mesa . By 1000 BCE , the Basketmaker culture emerged from the local Archaic population , and by 750 CE the Ancestral Puebloans had developed from the Basketmaker culture . The Mesa Verdeans survived using a combination of hunting , gathering , and subsistence farming of crops such as corn , beans , and squash . They built the mesa 's first pueblos sometime after 650 , and by the end of the 12th century , they began to construct the massive cliff dwellings for which the park is best known . By 1285 , following a period of social and environmental instability driven by a series of severe and prolonged droughts , they abandoned the area and moved south to locations in Arizona and New Mexico , including Rio Chama , Pajarito Plateau , and Santa Fe .

They followed herds of big game and camped near rivers and streams , many of which dried up as the glaciers that once covered parts of the San Juan Mountains receded . The earliest Paleo - Indians were the Clovis culture and Folsom tradition , defined largely by the way in which they fashioned projectile points . Although they left evidence of their presence throughout the region , there is little indication that they lived in central Mesa Verde during this time . After 9600 BCE , the area 's environment grew warmer and drier , a change that brought to central Mesa Verde pine forests and the animals that thrive in them . Paleo - Indians began inhabiting the mesa in increasing numbers c. 7500 , though it is unclear whether they were seasonal occupants or year - round residents . Development of the atlatl during this period made it easier for them to hunt smaller game , a crucial advance at a time when most of the region 's big game had disappeared from the landscape . Archaic ( edit ) Archaic pictographs , c. 2500 BCE , Sego Canyon , Utah 6000 BCE marks the beginning of the Archaic period in North America . Archaeologists differ as to the origin of the Mesa Verde Archaic population ; some believe they developed exclusively from local Paleo - Indians , called the Foothills Mountain Complex , but others suggest that the variety of projectile points found in Mesa Verde indicates influence from surrounding areas , including the Great Basin , the San Juan Basin , and the Rio Grande Valley . The Archaic people probably developed locally , but were also influenced by contact , trade , and intermarriage with immigrants from these outlying areas . The early Archaic people living near Mesa Verde utilized the atlatl and harvested a wider variety of plants and animals than the Paleo - Indians had , while retaining their primarily nomadic lifestyle . They inhabited the outlying areas of the Mesa Verde region , but also the mountains , mesa tops , and canyons , where they created rockshelters and rock art , and left evidence of animal processing and chert knapping . Environmental stability during the period drove population expansion and migration . Major warming and drying from 5000 to 2500 might have led middle Archaic people to seek the cooler climate of Mesa Verde , whose higher elevation brought increased snowpack that , when coupled with spring rains , provided relatively plentiful amounts of water . By the late Archaic , more people were living in semi-permanent rockshelters that preserved perishable goods such as baskets , sandals , and mats . They started to make a variety of twig figurines that usually resembled sheep or deer . The late Archaic is marked by increased trade in exotic materials such as obsidian and turquoise . Marine shells and abalone from the Pacific coast made their way to Mesa Verde from Arizona , and the Archaic people worked them into necklaces and pendants . Rock art flourished , and people lived in rudimentary houses made of mud and wood . Their early attempts at plant domestication eventually developed into the sustained agriculture that marked the end of the Archaic period , c. 1000 . Basketmaker culture ( edit ) Basketmaker II basket , c. 1 to 500 With the introduction of corn to the Mesa Verde region c. 1000 BCE and the trend away from nomadism toward permanent pithouse settlements , the Archaic Mesa Verdeans transitioned into what archaeologists call the Basketmaker culture . Basketmaker II people are characterized by their combination of foraging and farming skills , use of the atlatl , and creation of finely woven baskets in the absence of earthen pottery . By 300 , corn had become the preeminent staple of the Basketmaker II people 's diet , which relied less and less on wild food sources and more on domesticated crops . In addition to the fine basketry for which they were named , Basketmaker II people fashioned a variety of household items from plant and animal materials , including sandals , robes , pouches , mats , and blankets . They also made clay pipes and gaming pieces . Basketmaker men were relatively short and muscular , averaging less than 5.5 feet ( 1.7 m ) tall . Their skeletal remains reveal signs of hard labor and extensive travel , including degenerative joint disease , healed fractures , and moderate anemia associated with iron deficiency . They buried their dead near or amongst their settlements , and often included luxury items as gifts , which might indicate differences in relative social status . Basketmaker II people are also known for their distinctive rock art , which can be found throughout Mesa Verde . They depicted animals and people , in both abstract and realistic forms , in single works and more elaborate panels . A common subject was the hunchbacked flute player that the Hopi call Kokopelli . Basketmaker III basket , c. 450 to 750 By 500 , CE atlatls were being supplanted by the bow and arrow and baskets by pottery , marking the end of the Basketmaker II Era and the beginning of the Basketmaker III Era . Ceramic vessels were a major improvement over pitch - lined baskets , gourds , and animal hide containers , which had been the primary water storage containers in the region . Pottery also protected seeds against mold , insects , and rodents . By 600 , Mesa Verdeans were using clay pots to cook soups and stews . Year - round settlements first appear around this time . The population of the San Juan Basin increased markedly after 575 , when there were very few Basketmaker III sites in Mesa Verde ; by the early 7th century , there were many such sites in the mesa . For the next 150 years , villages typically consisted of small groups of one to three residences . The population of Mesa Verde c. 675 was approximately 1,000 to 1,500 people . Beans and new varieties of corn were introduced to the region c. 700 . By 775 , some settlements had grown to accommodate more than one hundred people ; the construction of large , above - ground storage buildings began around this time . Basketmakers endeavored to store enough food for their family for one year , but also retained residential mobility so they could quickly relocate their dwellings in the event of resource depletion or consistently inadequate crop yields . By the end of the 8th century , the smaller hamlets , which were typically occupied for ten to forty years , had been supplanted by larger ones that saw continuous occupation for as many as two generations . Basketmaker III people established a tradition of holding large ceremonial gatherings near community pit structures . Ancestral Puebloans ( edit ) Main article : Ancestral Puebloans Pueblo I : 750 to 900 ( edit ) Main article : Pueblo I Period Major Ancestral Puebloan settlements in the San Juan Basin Pueblo I protokiva on Chapin Mesa , Mesa Verde National Park 750 marks the end of the Basketmaker III Era and the beginning of the Pueblo I period . The transition is characterized by major changes in the design and construction of buildings and the organization of household activities . Pueblo I people doubled their capacity for food storage from one year to two and built interconnected , year - round residences called pueblos . Many household activities that had previously been reserved for subterranean pithouses were moved to these above - ground dwellings . This altered the function of pithouses from all - purpose spaces to ones used primarily for community ceremonies , although they continued to house large extended families , particularly during winter months . During the late 8th century , Mesa Verdeans began building square pit structures that archaeologists call proto kivas . They were typically 3 or 4 feet ( 0.91 or 1.22 m ) deep and 12 to 20 feet ( 3.7 to 6.1 m ) wide . The first pueblos appeared at Mesa Verde sometime after 650 ; by 850 more than half of Mesa Verdeans lived in them . As local populations grew , Puebloans found it difficult to survive on hunting , foraging , and gardening , which made them increasingly reliant on domesticated corn . This shift from semi-nomadism to a `` sedentary and communal way of life changed ancestral Pueblo society forever '' . Within a generation the average number of households in these settlements grew from one to three to fifteen to twenty , with average populations of two hundred people . Population density increased dramatically , with as many as a dozen families occupying roughly the same space that had formerly housed two . This brought increased security against raids and encouraged greater cooperation amongst residents . It also facilitated trade and intermarriage between clans , and by the late 8th century , as Mesa Verde 's population was being augmented by settlers from the south , four distinct cultural groups occupied the same villages . Large Pueblo I settlements laid claim to the resources found within 15 to 30 square miles ( 39 to 78 km ) . They were typically organized in groups of at least three and spaced about 1 mile ( 1.6 km ) apart . By 860 , there were approximately 8,000 people living in Mesa Verde . Within the plazas of larger villages , the Pueblo I people dug massive pit structures of 800 square feet ( 74 m ) that became central gathering places . These structures represent early architectural expressions of what would eventually develop into the Pueblo II Era great houses of Chaco Canyon . Despite robust growth during the early and mid-9th century , unpredictable rainfall and periodic drought led to a dramatic reversal of settlement trends in the area . Many late Pueblo I villages were abandoned after less than forty years of occupation , and by 880 Mesa Verde 's population was in steady decline . The beginning of the 10th century saw widespread depopulation of the region , as people emigrated south of the San Juan River to Chaco Canyon in search of reliable rains for farming . As Mesa Verdeans migrated south , to where many of their ancestors had emigrated two hundred years before , the influence of Chaco Canyon grew , and by 950 Chaco had supplanted Mesa Verde as the region 's cultural center . Pueblo II : 900 to 1150 ( edit ) Main article : Pueblo II Period Square Tower House The Pueblo II Period is marked by the growth and outreach of communities centered around the great houses of Chaco Canyon . Despite their participation in the vast Chacoan system , Mesa Verdeans retained a distinct cultural identity while melding regional innovation with ancient tradition , inspiring further architectural advancements ; the 9th century Mesa Verdean pueblos influenced two hundred years of Chacoan great house construction . Droughts during the late 9th century rendered Mesa Verdean dry land farming unreliable , which led to their growing crops only near drainages for the next 150 years . Crop yields returned to healthy levels by the early 11th century . By 1050 the population of the area began to rebound ; as agricultural prosperity increased , people immigrated to Mesa Verde from the south . Mesa Verdean farmers increasingly relied on masonry reservoirs during the Pueblo II Era . During the 11th century , they built check dams and terraces near drainages and slopes in an effort to conserve soil and runoff . These fields offset the danger of crop failures in the larger dry land fields . By the mid-10th and early 11th centuries , protokivas had evolved into smaller circular structures called kivas , which were usually 12 to 15 feet ( 3.7 to 4.6 m ) across . These Mesa Verde - style kivas included a feature from earlier times called a sipapu , which is a hole dug in the north of the chamber and symbolizes the Ancestral Puebloan 's place of emergence from the underworld . At this time , Mesa Verdeans began to move away from the post and mud jacal - style buildings that marked the Pueblo I Period toward masonry construction , which had been utilized in the region as early as 700 , but was not widespread until the 11th and 12th centuries . The expansion of Chacoan influence in the Mesa Verde area left its most visible mark in the form of Chaco - style masonry great houses that became the focal point of many Mesa Verdean villages after 1075 . Far View House , the largest of these , is considered a classic Chaco `` outlier , '' on which construction likely began between 1075 and 1125 , although some archaeologists argue that it was begun as early as 1020 . The era 's timber and earth unit pueblos were typically inhabited for about twenty years . During the early 12th century , the locus of regional control shifted away from Chaco to Aztec , New Mexico , in the southern Mesa Verde region . By 1150 , drought had once again stressed the region 's inhabitants , leading to a temporary cessation of great house construction at Mesa Verde . Pueblo III : 1150 to 1300 ( edit ) Main article : Pueblo III Period Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde National Park . A severe drought from 1130 to 1180 led to rapid depopulation in many parts of the San Juan Basin , particularly at Chaco Canyon . As the extensive Chacoan system collapsed , people increasingly migrated to Mesa Verde , causing major population growth in the area . This led to much larger settlements of six to eight hundred people , which reduced mobility for Mesa Verdeans , who had in the past frequently relocated their dwellings and fields as part of their agriculture strategy . In order to sustain these larger populations , they dedicated more and more of their labor to farming . Population increases also led to expanded tree felling that reduced habitat for many wild plant and animal species that the Mesa Verdeans had relied on , further deepening their dependency on domesticated crops that were susceptible to drought - related failure . The Chacoan system brought large quantities of imported goods to Mesa Verde during the late 11th and early 12th centuries , including pottery , shells , and turquoise , but by the late 12th century , as the system collapsed , the amount of goods imported by the mesa quickly declined , and Mesa Verde became isolated from the surrounding region . For approximately six hundred years , most Mesa Verdean farmers had lived in small , mesa - top homesteads of one or two families . They were typically located near their fields and walking distance to sources of water . This practice continued into the mid - to late 12th century , but by the start of the 13th century they began living in canyon locations that were close to water sources and within walking distance of their fields . Mesa Verdean villages thrived during the mid-Pueblo III Era , when architects constructed massive , multi-story buildings , and artisans adorned pottery with increasingly elaborate designs . Structures built during this period have been described as `` among the world 's greatest archaeological treasures '' . Pueblo III masonry buildings were typically occupied for approximately fifty years , more than double the usable lifespan of the Pueblo II jacal structures . Others were continuously inhabited for two hundred years or more . Architectural innovations such as towers and multi-walled structures also appear during the Pueblo III Era . Mesa Verde 's population remained fairly stable during the 12th century drought . At the start of the 13th century , approximately 22,000 people lived there . The area saw moderate population increases during the following decades , and dramatic ones from 1225 to 1260 . Most of the people in the region lived in the plains west of the mesa at locations such as Yellow Jacket Pueblo , near Cortez , Colorado . Others colonized canyon rims and slopes in multi-family structures that grew to unprecedented size as populations swelled . By 1260 , the majority of Mesa Verdeans lived in large pueblos that housed several families and more than one hundred people . The 13th century saw 69 years of below average rainfall in the Mesa Verde region , and after 1270 the area suffered from especially cold temperatures . Dendrochronology indicates that the last tree felled for construction on the mesa was cut in 1281 . There was a major decline in ceramic imports to the region during this time , but local production remained steady . Despite challenging conditions , the Puebloans continued to farm the area until a severely dry period from 1276 to 1299 ended seven hundred years of continuous human occupation at Mesa Verde . Archaeologists refer to this period as the `` Great Drought '' . The last inhabitants of the mesa left the area c. 1285 . Warfare ( edit ) Oak Tree House During the Pueblo III period ( 1150 to 1300 ) , Mesa Verdeans built numerous stone masonry towers that likely served as defensive structures . They often incorporated hidden tunnels connecting the towers to associated kivas . Warfare was conducted using the same tools the Mesa Verdeans used for hunting game , including bows and arrows , stone axes , and wooden clubs and spears . They also crafted hide and basket shields that were used only during battles . Periodic warfare occurred on the mesa throughout the 13th century . Civic leaders in the region likely attained power and prestige by distributing food during times of drought . This system probably broke down during the `` Great Drought '' , leading to intense warfare between competing clans . Increasing economic and social uncertainty during the century 's final decades led to widespread conflict . Evidence of partly burned villages and post-mortem trauma have been uncovered , and the residents of one village appear to have been the victims of a site - wide massacre . Evidence of violence and cannibalism has been documented in the central Mesa Verde region . While most of the violence , which peaked between 1275 and 1285 , is generally ascribed to in - fighting amongst Mesa Verdeans , archaeological evidence found at Sand Canyon Pueblo , in Canyons of the Ancients National Monument , suggests that violent interactions also occurred between Mesa Verdeans and people from outside the region . Evidence of the attacks was discovered by members of the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center during the 1990s . The assaults , which also occurred at the national monument 's Castle Rock Pueblo , were dated to c. 1280 , and are considered to have effectively ended several centuries of Puebloan occupation at those sites . Many of the victims showed signs of skull fractures , and the uniformity of the injuries suggest that most were inflicted with a small stone axe . Others were scalped , dismembered , and cannibalized . The anthropophagy ( cannibalism ) might have been undertaken as a survival strategy during times of starvation . The archaeological record indicates that , rather than being isolated to the Mesa Verde region , violent conflict was widespread in North America during the late 13th and early 14th centuries , and was likely exacerbated by global climate changes that negatively affected food supplies throughout the continent . Migration ( edit ) The Mesa Verde region saw unusually cold and dry conditions during the beginning of the 13th century . This might have driven emigration to Mesa Verde from less hospitable locations . The added population stressed the mesa 's environment , further straining an agricultural society that was suffering from drought . The region 's bimodal precipitation pattern , which brought rainfall during spring and summer and snowfall during autumn and winter , began to fail post-1250 . After 1260 , there was a rapid depopulation of Mesa Verde , as `` tens of thousands of people '' emigrated or died from starvation . Many smaller communities in the Four Corners region were also abandoned during this period . The Ancestral Puebloans had a long history of migration in the face of environmental instability , but the depopulation of Mesa Verde at the end of the 13th century was different in that the region was almost completely emptied , and no descendants returned to build permanent settlements . While drought , resource depletion , and overpopulation all contributed to instability during the last two centuries of Ancestral Puebloan occupation , their overdependence on maize crops is considered the `` fatal flaw '' of their subsistence strategy . The vacating Mesa Verdeans left almost no direct evidence of their migration , but they left behind household goods , including cooking utensils , tools , and clothing , which gave archaeologists the impression that the emigration was haphazard or hurried . An estimated 20,000 people lived in the region during the 13th century , but by the start of the 14th century the area was nearly uninhabited . Many emigrants relocated to southern Arizona and New Mexico . Although the rate of settlement is unclear , increases in sparsely populated areas , such as Rio Chama , Pajarito Plateau , and Santa Fe , correspond directly with the period of migration from Mesa Verde . Archaeologists believe the Mesa Verdeans who settled in the areas near the Rio Grande , where Mesa Verde black - on - white pottery became widespread during the 14th century , were likely related to the households they joined and not unwelcome intruders . Archaeologists view this migration as a continuation , versus a dissolution , of Ancestral Puebloan society and culture . Many others relocated to the banks of the Little Colorado River , in western New Mexico and eastern Arizona . While archaeologists tend to focus on the `` push '' factors that drove the Mesa Verdeans away from the region , there were also several environmental `` pull factors '' , such as warmer temperatures , better farming conditions , plentiful timber , and bison herds , which incentivized relocation to the area near the Rio Grande . In addition to numerous settlements along the Rio Grande , contemporary descendants of the Mesa Verdeans live in pueblos at Acomo , Zuni , Jemez , and Laguna . Organization ( edit ) Although Chaco Canyon might have exerted regional control over Mesa Verde during the late 11th and early 12th centuries , most archaeologists view the Mesa Verde region as a collection of smaller communities based on central sites and related outliers that were never fully integrated into a larger civic structure . Several ancient roads , averaging 15 to 45 feet ( 4.6 to 13.7 m ) wide and lined with earthen berms , have been identified in the region . Most appear to connect communities and shrines ; others encircle great house sites . The extent of the network is unclear , but no roads have been discovered leading to the Chacoan Great North Road , or directly connecting Mesa Verde and Chacoan sites . Ancestral Puebloan shrines , called herraduras , have been identified near road segments in the region . Their purpose is unclear , but several C - shaped herraduras have been excavated , and they are thought to have been `` directional shrines '' used to indicate the location of great houses . Architecture ( edit ) Section view of Kiva A in Mesa Verde 's Fire Temple , cut from laser scan data collected by a CyArk / National Park Service partnership . Since Fire Temple was at least partially built to conform to the dimensions of the cliff alcove in which it was built , it is neither round in form nor truly subterranean like other structures generally defined as kivas . Mesa Verde is best known for a large number of well - preserved cliff dwellings , houses built in alcoves , or rock overhangs along the canyon walls . The structures contained within these alcoves were mostly blocks of hard sandstone , held together and plastered with adobe mortar . Specific constructions had many similarities but were generally unique in form due to the individual topography of different alcoves along the canyon walls . In marked contrast to earlier constructions and villages on top of the mesas , the cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde reflected a region - wide trend towards the aggregation of growing regional populations into close , highly defensible quarters during the 13th century . Pueblo buildings were built with stone , windows facing south , and in U , E and L shapes . The buildings were located more closely together and reflected deepening religious celebration . Towers were built near kivas and likely used for lookouts . Pottery became more versatile , including pitchers , ladles , bowls , jars and dishware for food and drink . White pottery with black designs emerged , the pigments coming from plants . Water management and conservation techniques , including the use of reservoirs and silt - retaining dams , also emerged during this period . Styles for these sandstone / mortar constructions , both surface and cliff dwellings , included T - shaped windows and doors . This has been taken by some archaeologists , including Stephen H. Lekson , as evidence of the continuing reach of the Chacoan system . Other researchers see these elements as part of a more generalized Puebloan style or spiritual significance rather than evidence of a continuing specific elite socioeconomic system . While much of the construction in these sites is consistent with common Pueblo architectural forms , including kivas , towers , and pit - houses , the space constrictions of these alcoves necessitated what seems to have been a far denser concentration of their populations . Mug House , a typical cliff dwelling of the period , was home to around 100 people who shared 94 small rooms and eight kivas built against each other and sharing many of their walls ; builders in these areas maximized space in any way they could , with no areas considered off - limits to construction . Astronomy ( edit ) The Sun Temple at Mesa Verde Mesa Verdeans used astronomical observations to plan their farming and religious ceremonies , drawing on both natural features in the landscape and masonry structures built for this purpose . Several great houses in the region were aligned to the cardinal directions , which positioned windows , doors , and walls along the path of the sun , whose rays would indicate the passing of seasons . Mesa Verde 's Sun Temple is thought to have been an astronomical observatory . The temple is D - shaped , and its alignment is 10.7 degrees off true east - west . Its location and orientation indicate that its builders understood the cycles of both the sun and the moon . It is aligned to the major lunar standstill , which occurs once every 18.6 years , and the sunset during the winter solstice , which can be viewed setting over the temple from a platform at the south end of Cliff Palace , across Fewkes Canyon . At the bottom of the canyon is the Sun Temple fire pit , which is illuminated by the first rays of the rising sun during the winter solstice . Sun Temple is one of the largest exclusively ceremonial structures ever built by the Ancestral Puebloans . Agriculture and water - control systems ( edit ) Far View Reservoir Starting in the 6th century , the farmers living in central Mesa Verde cultivated corn , beans , squash , and gourds . The combination of corn and beans provided the Mesa Verdeans with the amino acids of a complete protein . When conditions were good , 3 or 4 acres ( 1.2 or 1.6 ha ) of land would provide enough food for a family of three or four individuals for one year , providing they supplemented with game and wild plants . As Mesa Verdeans increasingly relied on corn as a dietary staple , the success or failure of crop yields factored heavily into their lives . The mesa tilts slightly to the south , which increased its exposure to the sun . Before the introduction of pottery , foods were baked , roasted , and parched . Hot rocks dropped into containers could bring water to a brief boil , but because beans must be boiled for an hour or more their use was not widespread until after pottery had disseminated throughout the region . With the increased availability of ceramics after 600 , beans became much easier to cook . This provided a high quality protein that reduced reliance on hunting . It also aided corn cultivation , as legumes add much needed nutrients to soils they are grown in , which likely increased corn yields . The most Mesa Verdeans practiced dry farming , which relied on rain to water their crops , but others utilized runoff , springs , seeps , and natural collection pools . Starting in the 9th century , they dug and maintained reservoirs that caught runoff from summer showers and spring snowmelt ; some crops were watered by hand . Archaeologists believe that prior to the 13th century , springs and other sources of water were considered shared public resources , but as Mesa Verdeans moved into increasingly larger pueblos built near or around water supplies control was privatized and limited to members of the surrounding community . Between 750 and 800 , Mesa Verdeans began constructing two large water containment structures in canyon bottoms -- the Morefield and Box Elder reservoirs . Soon afterward , work began on two more : the Far View and Sagebrush reservoirs , which were approximately 90 feet ( 27 m ) across and constructed on the mesa top . The reservoirs lie on an east - west line that runs for approximately 6 miles ( 9.7 km ) , which suggests builders followed a centralized plan for the system . In 2004 , the American Society of Civil Engineers designated these four structures as National Civil Engineering Historic Landmarks . A 2014 geospatial analyses suggested that neither collection nor retention of water was possible in the Far View Reservoir . This interpretation views the structure as a ceremonial space with procession roads in an adaptation of Chacoan culture . Hunting and foraging ( edit ) Ancestral Puebloan bone awls Mesa Verdeans typically harvested local small game , but sometimes organized hunting parties that traveled long distances . Their main sources of animal protein came from mule deer and rabbits , but they occasionally hunted Bighorn sheep , antelope , and elk . They began to domesticate turkeys starting around 1000 , and by the 13th century consumption of the animal peaked , supplanting deer as the primary protein source at many sites . These domesticated turkeys consumed large amounts of corn , which further deepened reliance on the staple crop . Puebloans wove blankets from turkey feathers and rabbit fur , and made implements such as awls and needles from turkey and deer bones . Despite the availability of fish in the area 's rivers and streams , archaeological evidence suggests that they were rarely eaten . Mesa Verdeans supplemented their diet by gathering the seeds and fruits of wild plants , searching large expanses of land while procuring these resources . Depending on the season , they collected piñon nuts and juniper berries , weedy goosefoot , pigweed , purslane , tomatillo , tansy mustard , globe mallow , sunflower seeds , and yucca , as well as various species of grass and cacti . Prickly pear fruits provided a rare source of natural sugar . Wild seeds were cooked and ground up into porridge . They used sagebrush and mountain mahogany , along with piñon and juniper , for firewood . They also smoked wild tobacco . Because the Ancestral Puebloans considered all material consumed and discarded by their communities as sacred , their midden piles were viewed with reverence . Starting during the Basketmaker III period , c. 700 , Mesa Verdeans often buried their dead in these mounds . Pottery ( edit ) Mesa Verde black - on - white Mesa Verde corrugated jars Scholars are divided as to whether pottery was invented in the Four Corners region or introduced from the south . Specimens of shallow , unfired clay bowls found at Canyon de Chelly indicate the innovation might have been derived from using clay bowls to parch seeds . Repeated uses rendered these bowls hard and impervious to water , which might represent the first fired pottery in the region . An alternate theory suggests that pottery originated in the Mogollon Rim area to the south , where brown - paste bowls were used during the first few centuries of the common era . Others believe pottery was introduced to Mesa Verde from Mexico , c. 300 CE . There is no evidence of ancient pottery markets in the region , but archaeologists believe that local potters exchanged decorative wares between families . Cooking pots made with crushed igneous rock tempers from places like Ute Mountain were more resilient and desirable , and Puebloans from throughout the region traded for them . Neutron activation analysis indicates that much of the black - on - white pottery found at Mesa Verde was produced locally . Cretaceous clays from both the Dakota and Menefee Formations were used in black - on - white wares , and Mancos Formation clays for corrugated jars . Evidence that pottery of both types moved between several locations around the region suggests interaction between groups of ancient potters , or they might have shared a common source of raw materials . The Mesa Verde black - on - white pottery was produced at three locations : Sand Canyon , Castle Rock , and Mesa Verde . Archeological evidence indicates that nearly every household had at least one member who worked as a potter . Trench kilns were constructed away from pueblos and closer to sources of firewood . Their sizes vary , but the larger ones were up to 24 feet ( 7.3 m ) long and thought to have been shared kilns that served several families . Designs were added to ceramic vessels with a Yucca - leaf brush and paints made from iron , manganese , beeplant , and tansy mustard . Most of the pottery found in 9th century pueblos was sized for individuals or small families , but as communal ceremonialism expanded during the 13th century , many larger , feast -- sized vessels were produced . Corrugated decorations appear on Mesa Verde grey wares after 700 , and by 1000 entire vessels were crafted in this way . The technique created a rough exterior surface that was easier to hold on to than regular grey wares , which were smooth . By the 11th century these corrugated vessels , which dissipated heat more efficiently than smoother ones , had largely replaced the older style , whose tendency to retain heat made them prone to boiling over . Corrugation likely developed as ancient potters attempted to mimic the visual properties of coiled basketry . Corrugated wares were made using clay from formations other than Menefee , which suggests that ancient potters selected different clays for different styles . Potters also selected clays and altered firing conditions to achieve specific colors . Under normal conditions , pots made of Mancos shale turned grey when fired , and those made of Morrison Formation clay turned white . Clays from southeastern Utah turned red when fired in a high - oxygen environment . Rock art and murals ( edit ) Mesa Verde 's Petroglyph Point ; the glyphs represent ( top ; from right to left ) the Eagle , Mountain Sheep , Parrot , Horned Toad , and Mountain Lion clans , and the Ancestral Puebloans ( bottom ) . Rock art is found throughout the Mesa Verde region , but its dispersion is uneven and periodic . Some locations have numerous examples ; others have none , and some periods saw prolific creation , while others saw little . Styles also vary over time . Examples are relatively rare on Mesa Verde proper , but abundant in the middle San Juan River area , which might indicate the river 's importance as a travel route and key source of water . Common motifs in the rock art of the region include , anthropomorphic figures in procession and during copulation or childbirth , handprints , animal and people tracks , wavy lines , spirals , concentric circles , animals , and hunting scenes . As the region 's population plummeted during the late 13th century , the subject of Mesa Verdean rock art increasingly shifted to depictions of shields , warriors , and battle scenes . Modern Hopi have interpreted the petroglyphs at Mesa Verde 's Petroglyph Point as depictions of various clans of people . Starting during the late Pueblo II period ( 1020 ) and continuing through Pueblo III ( 1300 ) , the Ancestral Puebloans of the Mesa Verde region created plaster murals in their great houses , particularly in their kivas . The murals contained both painted and inscribed images depicting animals , people , and designs used in textiles and pottery dating back as far as Basketmaker III , c. 500 . Others depict triangles and mounds thought to represent mountains and hills in the surrounding landscape . The murals were typically located on the face of the kiva bench and usually encircled the room . Geometric patterns that resemble symbols used in pottery and zigzag that represent stitches used in basket making are common motifs . The painted murals include the colors red , green , yellow , white , brown , and blue . The designs were still in use by the Hopi during the 15th and 16th centuries . Anthropogenic ecology , geography , and climate ( edit ) Anthropogenic ecology refers to the human impact on animals and plants in an ecosystem . A shift from medium and large game animals , such as deer , bighorn sheep , and antelope , to smaller ones like rabbits and turkey during the mid-10th to mid-13th centuries might indicate that Mesa Verdean subsistence hunting had dramatically altered faunal populations on the mesa . Analysis of pack rat midden indicates that , with the exception of invasive species such as tumbleweed and clover , the flora and fauna in the area have remained relatively consistent for the past 4,000 years . Mesa Verde 's canyons were created by streams that eroded the hard sandstone that covers the area . This resulted in Mesa Verde National Park elevations ranging from about 6,000 to 8,572 feet ( 1,829 to 2,613 m ) , the highest elevation at Park Point . The terrain in the park is now a transition zone between the low desert plateaus and the Rocky Mountains . The region 's precipitation pattern is bimodal , meaning agriculture is sustained through snowfall during winter and autumn and rainfall during spring and summer . The climate is semi-arid . Water for farming and consumption was provided by summer rains , winter snowfall , and seeps and springs in and near the Mesa Verde villages . At 7,000 feet ( 2,100 m ) , the middle mesa areas were typically ten degrees Fahrenheit ( 5.5 ° C ) cooler than the mesa top , which reduced the amount of water needed for farming . The cliff dwellings were built to take advantage of solar energy . The angle of the sun in winter warmed the masonry of the cliff dwellings , warm breezes blew from the valley , and the air was ten to twenty degrees warmer in the canyon alcoves than on the top of the mesa . In the summer , with the sun high overhead , much of the village was protected from direct sunlight in the high cliff dwellings . Geology ( edit ) Although the area 's first Spanish explorers named the feature Mesa Verde , the term is a misnomer , as true mesas are almost perfectly flat . Because Mesa Verde is slanted to the south , the proper geological term is cuesta , not mesa . The park is made up of several smaller cuestas located between canyons . Mesa Verde 's slant contributed to the formation of the alcoves that have preserved the area 's cliff dwellings . In the late Cretaceous Period , the Mancos Shale was deposited on top of the Dakota Sandstone , which is the rock formation that can be found under much of Colorado . The beds of the Mancos Shale are `` fine - grained sand - stones , mudstones , and shales '' which accumulated in the deep water of the Cretaceous Sea . It has a high clay content which causes it to expand when wet leading to sliding of the terrain . On top of this shale , there are three formations in the Mesaverde group which reflect the changes in depositional environment in the area over time . The first is the Point Lookout Sandstone , which is named for the Point Lookout feature in the park ( elevation 8427 feet ) . This sandstone , which formed in the marine environment of shallow water when the Cretaceous sea was receding , is `` massive , fine - grained , cross-bedded , and very resistant '' , in its layers reflecting waves and currents that were present during the time of its formation . Its sediments are approximately 400 feet thick , and its upper layers feature fossiliferous invertebrates . Next is the Menefee Formation , the middle formation whose content features interbedded carbonaceous shales , siltstones , and sandstones . These were deposited in semi-marine environments of brackish water , such as swamps and lagoons . Due to its depositional environment and the organic material in its composition , there are thin coal seams running through the Menefee Formation . At the top , this formation is intruded upon by the Cliff House Sandstone . The Cliff House Sandstone is the area 's youngest rock layer . It was formed after the Cretaceous sea had completely receded and as a result has a high sand content from beaches , dunes , etc. and from this receives its characteristic yellow tint to its canyon faces . Like the Point Lookout Sandstone , it is about 400 feet thick . It contains numerous fossil beds of different types of shells , fish teeth , and other invertebrate leftovers from the receded sea . The shale zones in this feature determine where alcoves formed where the Ancestral Puebloans constructed their dwellings . Continuing through the Cretaceous period and into the early Tertiary , there was uplifting in the area of the Colorado Plateau , the San Juan Mountains , and the La Plata Mountains , which led to the formation of the Mesa Verde pediment with the help of erosion . Small channels of water ran across this formation depositing gravel . Later in the tertiary , the last period of uplift and rock tilting towards the south caused these streams to cut rapidly into the rock removing loose sediment and forming the vast canyons seen today . This caused the isolation of the Mesa Verde pediment from surrounding rock . Today , since the climate is more arid , these erosional processes are slowed . Rediscovery ( edit ) Spruce Tree House Mexican - Spanish missionaries and explorers Francisco Atanasio Domínguez and Silvestre Vélez de Escalante , seeking a route from Santa Fe to California , faithfully recorded their travels in 1776 . They reached Mesa Verde ( green plateau ) region , which they named after its high , tree - covered plateaus , but they never got close enough , or into the needed angle , to see the ancient stone villages . They were the first white men to travel the route through much of the Colorado Plateau into Utah and back through Arizona to New Mexico . The Mesa Verde region has long been occupied by the Utes , and an 1868 treaty between them and the United States government recognized Ute ownership of all Colorado land west of the Continental Divide . After there had become an interest in land in western Colorado , a new treaty in 1873 left the Ute with a strip of land in southwestern Colorado between the border with New Mexico and 15 miles north . Most of Mesa Verde lies within this strip of land . The Ute wintered in the warm , deep canyons and found sanctuary there and the high plateaus of Mesa Verde . Believing the cliff dwellings to be sacred ancestral sites , they did not live in the ancient dwellings . Occasional trappers and prospectors visited , with one prospector , John Moss , making his observations known in 1873 . The following year , Moss led eminent photographer William Henry Jackson through Mancos Canyon , at the base of Mesa Verde . There , Jackson both photographed and publicized a typical stone cliff dwelling . Geologist William H. Holmes retraced Jackson 's route in 1875 . Reports by both Jackson and Holmes were included in the 1876 report of the Hayden Survey , one of the four federally financed efforts to explore the American West . These and other publications led to proposals to systematically study Southwestern archaeological sites . In her quest to find Ancestral Puebloan settlements , Virginia McClurg , a journalist for the New York Daily Graphic , visited Mesa Verde in 1882 and 1885 . Her party rediscovered Echo Cliff House , Three Tier House , and Balcony House in 1885 ; these discoveries inspired her to protect the dwellings and artifacts . Wetherills ( edit ) A family of cattle ranchers , the Wetherills , befriended members of the Ute tribe near their ranch southwest of Mancos , Colorado . With the Ute tribe 's approval , the Wetherills were allowed to bring cattle into the lower , warmer plateaus of the present Ute reservation during winter . Word of the Ancestral Puebloan great houses had spread , and Acowitz , a member of the Ute tribe , told the Wetherills of a special cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde : `` Deep in that canyon and near its head are many houses of the old people -- the Ancient Ones . One of those houses , high , high in the rocks , is bigger than all the others . Utes never go there , it is a sacred place . '' On December 18 , 1888 , Richard Wetherill and cowboy Charlie Mason rediscovered Cliff Palace after spotting the ruins from the top of Mesa Verde . Wetherill gave the ruin its present - day name . Richard Wetherill , family and friends explored the ruins and gathered artifacts , some of which they sold to the Historical Society of Colorado and much of which they kept . Among the people who stayed with the Wetherills and explored the cliff dwellings was mountaineer , photographer , and author Frederick H. Chapin , who visited the region during 1889 and 1890 . He described the landscape and ruins in an 1890 article and later in an 1892 book , The Land of the Cliff - Dwellers , which he illustrated with hand - drawn maps and personal photographs . Gustaf Nordenskiöld ( edit ) Cliff Palace in 1891 , by Gustaf Nordenskiöld The Wetherills also hosted Gustaf Nordenskiöld , the son of polar explorer Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld , in 1891 . Nordenskiöld was a trained mineralogist who introduced scientific methods to artifact collection , recorded locations , photographed extensively , diagrammed sites , and correlated what he observed with existing archaeological literature as well as the home - grown expertise of the Wetherills . He removed a lot of artifacts and sent them to Sweden , where they eventually went to the National Museum of Finland . Nordenskiöld published , in 1893 , The Cliff Dwellers of the Mesa Verde . When Nordenskiöld shipped the collection that he made of Mesa Verde artifacts , the event initiated concerns about the need to protect Mesa Verde land and its resources . National park ( edit ) Park map In 1889 , Goodman Point Pueblo became the first pre-Columbian archaeological site in the Mesa Verde region to gain federal protection . It was the first such site to be protected in the US . Virginia McClurg was diligent in her efforts between 1887 and 1906 to inform the United States and European community of the importance of protecting the important historical material and dwellings in Mesa Verde . Her efforts included enlisting support from 250,000 women through the Federation of Women 's Clubs , writing and having published poems in popular magazines , giving speeches domestically and internationally , and forming the Colorado Cliff Dwellers Association . The Colorado Cliff Dwellers ' purpose was to protect the resources of Colorado cliff dwellings , reclaiming as much of the original artifacts as possible and sharing information about the people who dwelt there . A fellow activist for protection of Mesa Verde and prehistoric archaeological sites included Lucy Peabody , who , located in Washington , D.C. , met with members of Congress to further the cause . Former Mesa Verde National Park superintendent Robert Heyder communicated his belief that the park might have been far more significant with the hundreds of artifacts taken by Nordenskiöld . Jesse Walter Fewkes at Mesa Verde cliff dwellings , c. 1910 Mesa Verde National Park , 1917 By the end of the 19th century , it was clear that Mesa Verde needed protection from people in general who came to Mesa Verde and created or sold their own collection of artifacts . In a report to the Secretary of the Interior , Smithsonian Institution Ethnologist Jesse Walter Fewkes described vandalism at Mesa Verde 's Cliff Palace : Parties of `` curio seekers '' camped on the ruin for several winters , and it is reported that many hundred specimens there have been carried down the mesa and sold to private individuals . Some of these objects are now in museums , but many are forever lost to science . In order to secure this valuable archaeological material , walls were broken down ... often simply to let light into the darker rooms ; floors were invariably opened and buried kivas mutilated . To facilitate this work and get rid of the dust , great openings were broken through the five walls which form the front of the ruin . Beams were used for firewood to so great an extent that not a single roof now remains . This work of destruction , added to that resulting from erosion due to rain , left Cliff Palace in a sad condition . Many artifacts from Mesa Verde are now located in museums and private collections in the USA and across the world . A representative selection of pottery vessels and other objects , for example , is now in the British Museum in London . In 1906 , President Theodore Roosevelt approved creation of the Mesa Verde National Park and the Federal Antiquities Act of 1906 . The park was an effort to `` preserve the works of man '' and was the first park created to protect a location of cultural significance . The park was named with the Spanish term for green table because of its forests of juniper and piñon trees . Excavation and protection ( edit ) Between 1908 and 1922 , Spruce Tree House , Cliff Palace , and Sun Temple ruins were stabilised . Most of the early efforts were led by Jesse Walter Fewkes . During the 1930s and 40s , Civilian Conservation Corps workers , starting in 1932 , played key roles in excavation efforts , building trails and roads , creating museum exhibits and constructing buildings at Mesa Verde . From 1958 to 1965 , Wetherill Mesa Archaeological Project included archaeological excavations , stabilization of sites , and surveys . With excavation and study of eleven Wetherill Mesa sites , it is considered the largest archaeological effort in the US . The project oversaw the excavation of Long House and Mug House . In 1966 , as with all historical areas administered by the National Park Service , Mesa Verde was listed on the National Register of Historic Places , and in 1987 , the Mesa Verde Administrative District was listed on the register . It was designated a World Heritage Site in 1978 . In its 2015 travel awards , Sunset magazine named Mesa Verde National Park `` the best cultural attraction '' in the Western United States . Conflicts with local tribes ( edit ) Clashes between non-Indigenous environmentalists and local tribes surrounding the ruins at Mesa Verde began even before the park 's official establishment . Conflicts over who laid claim to the land surrounding the ruins came to fruition in 1911 , when the US government wanted to secure more land for the park that was owned by the Ute Indians . The Utes were reluctant to agree to the land swap proposed by the government , noting that the land they were seeking was the best land the tribe owned . Frederick Abbott , working with Indian Office official James McLaughlin , proclaimed to be an ally to the Ute in negotiations . Abbott later claimed that the `` government was stronger than the Utes , '' saying that when the government finds `` old ruins on land that it wants to take for public purposes , it has the right to take it ... '' Feeling they were left with no other options , the Utes reluctantly agreed to trade the 10,000 acres on Chapin Mesa for 19,500 acres on Ute Mountain . The Utes continued to battle the Bureau of Indian Affairs to prevent more Ute land from being incorporated into the park . In 1935 , the BIA attempted to gain back some the land traded in 1911 . Additionally , superintendent Jesse Nusbaum later confessed that the Ute Mountain land traded for Chapin Mesa in 1911 belonged to the tribe anyway , meaning the government had traded land that never belonged to them in the first place . Other issues unrelated to land disputes emerged as a result of park activities . In the 1920s , the park began offering `` Indian ceremony '' performances that gained popularity among visiting tourists ; however , the ceremonies did not actually reflect the rites of the Ancient Puebloans that lived in the cliff dwellings nor the rites of the modern Ute . Navajo day laborers performed these rituals , resulting in `` the wrong Indians doing the wrong dance on ... the wrong land . '' In addition to the inaccuracy of the ceremonies , a question of whether Navajo dancers were paid fairly also resulted in questions regarding the lack of local American Indians being employed in other capacities in the park . Additionally , the park offered little financial benefits to the Ute Mountain Ute despite their land swap making much of the park possible . Services ( edit ) Park Ranger leading a tour at Mesa Verde National Park The entrance to Mesa Verde National Park is on U.S. Route 160 , approximately 9 miles ( 14 km ) east of the community of Cortez and 7 miles ( 11 km ) west of Mancos , Colorado . The park covers 52,485 acres ( 21,240 ha ) It contains 4,372 documented sites , including more than 600 cliff dwellings . It is the largest archaeological preserve in the US . It protects some of the most important and best preserved archaeological sites in the country . The park initiated the Archaeological Site Conservation Program in 1995 . It analyses data pertaining to how sites are constructed and utilized . The Mesa Verde Visitor and Research Center is located just off of Highway 160 and is before the park entrance booths . The Visitor and Research Center opened in December 2012 . Chapin Mesa ( the most popular area ) is 20 miles ( 32 km ) beyond the visitor center . Mesa Verde National Park is an area of federal exclusive jurisdiction . Because of this all law enforcement , emergency medical service , and wildland / structural fire duties are conducted by federal National Park Service Law Enforcement Rangers . The Mesa Verde National Park Post Office has the ZIP code 81330 . Access to park facilities vary by season . Three of the cliff dwellings on Chapin Mesa are open to the public . The Chapin Mesa Archeological Museum is open all year . Spruce Tree House is also open all year , weather permitting . Balcony House , Long House and Cliff Palace require tour tickets for ranger - guided tours . Many other dwellings are visible from the road but not open to tourists . The park offers hiking trails , a campground , and , during peak season , facilities for food , fuel , and lodging ; these are unavailable in the winter . Wildfires and culturally modified trees ( edit ) Wildfire damage on Chapin Mesa During the years 1996 to 2003 , the park suffered from several wildfires . The fires , many of which were started by lightning during times of drought , burned 28,340 acres ( 11,470 ha ) of forest , more than half the park . The fires also damaged many archaeological sites and park buildings . They were named : Chapin V ( 1996 ) , Bircher and Pony ( 2000 ) , Long Mesa ( 2002 ) , and the Balcony House Complex fires ( 2003 ) , which were five fires that began on the same day . The Chapin V and Pony fires destroyed two rock art sites , and the Long Mesa fire nearly destroyed the museum -- the first one ever built in the National Park System -- and Spruce Tree House , the third largest cliff dwelling in the park . Prior to the fires of 1996 to 2003 , archaeologists had surveyed approximately ninety percent of the park . Dense undergrowth and tree cover kept many ancient sites hidden from view , but after the Chapin V , Bircher and Pony fires , 593 previously undiscovered sites were revealed -- most of them date to the Basketmaker III and Pueblo I periods . Also uncovered during the fires were extensive water containment features , including 1,189 check dams , 344 terraces , and five reservoirs that date to the Pueblo II and III periods . In February 2008 , the Colorado Historical Society decided to invest a part of its $7 million budget into a culturally modified trees project in the National Park . Ute Mountain Tribal park ( edit ) Main article : Ute Mountain Tribal Park The Ute Mountain Tribal Park , adjoining Mesa Verde National Park to the east of the mountains , is approximately 125,000 acres ( 51,000 ha ) along the Mancos River . Hundreds of surface sites , cliff dwellings , petroglyphs , and wall paintings of Ancestral Puebloan and Ute cultures are preserved in the park . Native American Ute tour guides provide background information about the people , culture , and history of the park lands . National Geographic Traveler chose it as one of `` 80 World Destinations for Travel in the 21st Century '' , one of only nine places selected in the US . Key sites ( edit ) In addition to the cliff dwellings , Mesa Verde boasts a number of mesa - top ruins . Examples open to public access include the Far View Complex and Cedar Tree Tower on Chapin Mesa , and Badger House Community , on Wetherill Mesa . Balcony House ( edit ) Emmett Harryson , a Navajo , at a T - shaped doorway at Balcony House ( 1929 ) Balcony House is set on a high ledge facing east . Its 45 rooms and 2 kivas would have been cold during the winter . Visitors on ranger - guided tours enter by climbing a 32 - foot ladder and a crawling through a 12 - foot tunnel . The exit , a series of toe - holds in a cleft of the cliff , was believed to be the only entry and exit route for the cliff dwellers , which made the small village easy to defend and secure . One log was dated at 1278 , so it was likely built not long before the Mesa Verde people migrated out of the area . It was officially excavated in 1910 by Jesse Nusbaum , one of the first Superintendents of Mesa Verde National Park . Visitors can enter Balcony House through ranger - guided tours . Cliff Palace ( edit ) Main article : Cliff Palace This multi-storied ruin , the best - known cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde , is located in the largest alcove in the center of the Great Mesa . It was south - and southwest - facing , providing greater warmth from the sun in the winter . Dating back more than 700 years , the dwelling is constructed of sandstone , wooden beams , and mortar . Many of the rooms were brightly painted . Cliff Palace was home to approximately 125 people , but was likely an important part of a larger community of sixty nearby pueblos , which housed a combined six hundred or more people . With 23 kivas and 150 rooms , Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde National Park . Long House ( edit ) Located on the Wetherill Mesa , Long House is the second - largest Mesa Verdean village ; approximately 150 people lived there . The location was excavated from 1959 through 1961 , as part of the Wetherhill Mesa Archaeological Project . Long House was built c. 1200 ; it was occupied until 1280 . The cliff dwelling features 150 rooms , a kiva , a tower , and a central plaza . Its rooms are not clustered like typical cliff dwellings . Stones were used without shaping for fit and stability . Two overhead ledges contain storage space for grain . One ledge seems to include an overlook with small holes in the wall to see the rest of the village below . A spring is accessible within several hundred feet , and seeps are located in the rear of the village . Mug , oak Tree , Spruce Tree , and square tower houses ( edit ) Mug House is located on Wetherill Mesa ; it contains 94 rooms , a large kiva , and a nearby reservoir . It received its name from four mugs the Charles Mason and the Wetherill brothers found strung together at the site . Oak Tree House and neighboring Fire Temple can be visited via a 2 - hour ranger - guided hike . Spruce Tree House is the third - largest village , within several hundred feet of a spring , and had 130 rooms and eight kivas . It was constructed sometime between 1211 and 1278 . It is believed anywhere from 60 to 80 people lived there at one time . Because of its protective location , it is well preserved . The short trail to Spruce Tree House begins at the Chapin Mesa Archeological Museum . The Square Tower House is one of the stops on the Mesa Top Loop Road driving tour . The tower is the tallest structure in Mesa Verde . References ( edit ) Notes Jump up ^ Corn was introduced to the Great Sage Plain , the regions north and west of Mesa Verde , from Mexico .

FIFA World Cup hosts
FIFA World Cup hosts - wikipedia FIFA World Cup hosts Logo of FIFA Map of FIFA World Cup final hosts , 1930 -- 2018 . Dark green : twice ; middle green : once ; light green : planned until 2022 Sixteen countries have been FIFA World Cup hosts in the competition 's twenty tournaments since the inaugural World Cup in 1930 . The organization at first awarded hosting to countries at meetings of FIFA 's congress . The choice of location was controversial in the earliest tournaments , given the three - week boat journey between South America and Europe , the two centers of strength in football at the time . The decision to hold the first cup in Uruguay , for example , led to only four European nations competing . The next two World Cups were both held in Europe . The decision to hold the second of these , the 1938 FIFA World Cup , in France was controversial , as the South American countries had been led to understand that the World Cup would rotate between the two continents . Both Argentina and Uruguay thus boycotted the tournament . The first tournament following World War II , held in Brazil in 1950 , had three teams withdraw for either financial problems or disagreements with the organization . To avoid any future boycotts or controversy , FIFA began a pattern of alternation between the Americas and Europe , which continued until the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Asia . The system evolved so that the host country is now chosen in a vote by FIFA 's Congress . This is done under an exhaustive ballot system . The decision is currently made roughly seven years in advance of the tournament , though the hosts for the 2022 tournament were chosen at the same time as those for the 2018 tournament . Only Mexico , Italy , France , Germany ( West Germany until shortly after the 1990 World Cup ) and Brazil have hosted the event on two occasions . Mexico City 's Estadio Azteca and Rio de Janeiro 's Maracanã are the only venues ever to have hosted two FIFA World Cup finals . Only the 2002 FIFA World Cup had more than one host , being split between Japan and South Korea . Upon the selection of Canada -- Mexico -- United States bid for the 2026 FIFA World Cup , the tournament will be the first to be hosted by more than two countries . Mexico becomes the first country to host three men 's World Cups and its Estadio Azteca , should it be selected , will become the first stadium to stage three World Cup tournaments .

A joint bid was formed between Japan and South Korea , and the bid was `` voted by acclamation '' , an oral vote without ballots . The first joint bid of the World Cup was approved , edging out Mexico . Results : South Korea / Japan ( joint bid , voted by acclamation ) Mexico The 2002 FIFA World Cup was co-hosted in Asia for the first time by South Korea and Japan ( the final was held in Japan ) . Initially , the two Asian countries were competitors in the bidding process . But just before the vote , they agreed with FIFA to co-host the event . However , the rivalry and distance between them led to organizational and logistical problems . FIFA has said that co-hosting is not likely to happen again , and in 2004 officially stated that its statutes did not allow co-hosting bids . 2006 FIFA World Cup ( edit ) Main article : 2006 FIFA World Cup Further information : List of 2006 FIFA World Cup controversies Bids : Brazil England Germany Morocco South Africa On 6 July 2000 , the host selection meeting was held for the sixth straight time in Zürich . Brazil withdrew its bid three days before the vote , and the field was narrowed to four . This was the first selection in which more than one vote round was required . Three votes were eventually needed . Germany was at least tied for first in each of the three votes , and ended up defeating South Africa by only one vote after an abstention ( see below ) . Results Nation Vote Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Germany 10 11 12 South Africa 6 11 11 England 5 Eliminated Morocco Eliminated Eliminated Total votes 23 24 23 Controversy ( edit ) The controversy over the decision to award the 2006 FIFA World Cup to Germany led to a further change in practice . The final tally was 12 votes to 11 in favour of Germany over the contenders South Africa , who had been favorites to win . New Zealand FIFA member Charlie Dempsey , who was instructed to vote for South Africa by the Oceania Football Confederation , abstained from voting at the last minute . If he had voted for the South African bid , the tally would have been 12 -- 12 , giving the decision to FIFA President Sepp Blatter , who , it was widely believed , would then have voted for South Africa . Dempsey was among eight members of the Executive Committee to receive a fax by editors of the German satirical magazine Titanic on Wednesday , the night before the vote , promising a cuckoo clock and Black Forest ham in exchange for voting for Germany . He argued that the pressure from all sides including `` an attempt to bribe '' him had become too much for him . On 4 August 2000 , consequently , FIFA decided to rotate the hosting of the final tournaments between its constituent confederations . This was until October 2007 , during the selection of the host for the 2014 FIFA World Cup , when they announced that they will no longer continue with their continental rotation policy ( see below ) . 2010 FIFA World Cup ( edit ) Main article : 2010 FIFA World Cup Further information : List of 2010 FIFA World Cup controversies Bids : Egypt Morocco Nigeria South Africa Tunisia / Libya The first World Cup bidding process under continental rotation ( the process of rotating hosting of the World Cup to each confederation in turn ) was the 2010 FIFA World Cup , the first World Cup to be held in Africa . On 7 July 2001 , during the FIFA Congress in Buenos Aires , a decision was ratified , which was that the rotation will begin in Africa . On 23 September 2002 , FIFA 's Executive Committee confirmed that only African member associations , would be invited to submit bids to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup . In January 2003 , Nigeria entered the bidding process , but withdrew their bid in September . In March 2003 , Sepp Blatter initially said Nigeria 's plan to co host the 2010 FIFA World Cup with four African countries would not work . Nigeria had originally hoped to bid jointly with West African neighbours Benin , Ghana , and Togo . After it was confirmed by FIFA that joint bidding would not be allowed in the future , Libya and Tunisia withdrew both of their bids on 8 May 2004 . On 15 May 2004 in Zürich ( the seventh consecutive time that a host selection has been made there ) , South Africa , after a narrow loss in the 2006 bidding , defeated perennial candidate Morocco to host , 14 votes to 10 . Egypt received no votes . Results Nation Vote Round 1 South Africa 14 Morocco 10 Egypt 0 Tunisia / Libya Withdrew Nigeria Withdrew Total votes 24 Controversy ( edit ) On 28 May 2015 , media covering the 2015 FIFA corruption case reported that high - ranking officials from the South African bid committee had secured the right to host the World Cup by paying US $10 million in bribes to then - FIFA Vice President Jack Warner and to other FIFA Executive Committee members . On 4 June 2015 , FIFA executive Chuck Blazer , having co-operated with the FBI and the Swiss authorities , confirmed that he and the other members of FIFA 's executive committee were bribed in order to promote the South African 1998 and 2010 World Cups . Blazer stated , `` I and others on the FIFA executive committee agreed to accept bribes in conjunction with the selection of South Africa as the host nation for the 2010 World Cup . '' On 6 June 2015 , The Daily Telegraph reported that Morocco had received the most votes , but South Africa was awarded the tournament instead . 2014 FIFA World Cup ( edit ) Main articles : 2014 FIFA World Cup bids and 2014 FIFA World Cup Further information : List of 2014 FIFA World Cup controversies Bids : Argentina Brazil Colombia FIFA continued its continental rotation procedure by earmarking the 2014 World Cup for South America . FIFA initially indicated that it might back out of the rotation concept , but later decided to continue it through the 2014 host decision , after which it was dropped . Colombia had expressed interest in hosting the 2014 World Cup , but withdrew undertaking the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup . Brazil also expressed interest in hosting the World Cup . CONMEBOL , the South American Football Federation , indicated their preference for Brazil as a host . Brazil was the only nation to submit a formal bid when the official bidding procedure for CONMEBOL member associations was opened in December 2006 , as by that time , Colombia , Chile and Argentina had already withdrawn , and Venezuela was not allowed to bid . Brazil made the first unopposed bid since the initial selection of the 1986 FIFA World Cup ( when Colombia was selected as host , but later withdrew for financial problems ) . The FIFA Executive Committee confirmed it as the host country on 30 October 2007 by a unanimous decision . Result : 2014 FIFA bidding ( majority 12 votes ) Bidders Votes Round 1 Round 2 Brazil N / A N / A Argentina Withdrew Colombia Withdrew 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups ( edit ) Main articles : 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup bids , 2018 FIFA World Cup , and 2022 FIFA World Cup Further information : List of 2018 FIFA World Cup controversies and List of 2022 FIFA World Cup controversies 2018 Bids : Belgium / Netherlands England Spain / Portugal Russia 2022 Bids : Australia Japan South Korea Qatar United States Wikinews has related news : FIFA receives eleven bids for 2018 and 2022 World Cups FIFA announced on 29 October 2007 that it will no longer continue with its continental rotation policy , implemented after the 2006 World Cup host selection . The newest host selection policy is that any country may bid for a World Cup , provided that their continental confederation has not hosted either of the past two World Cups . For the 2018 World Cup bidding process , this meant that bids from Africa and South America were not allowed . For the 2022 World Cup bidding process , this meant that bids from South America and Europe were not allowed . Also , FIFA formally allowed joint bids once more ( after they were banned in 2002 ) , because there was only one organizing committee per joint bid , unlike Korea -- Japan , which had two different organizing committees . Countries that announced their interest included Australia , England , Indonesia , Japan , Qatar , Russia , South Korea , United States , the joint bid of Spain and Portugal and the joint bid of Belgium and Netherlands . The hosts for both World Cups were announced by the FIFA Executive Committee on 2 December 2010 . Russia was selected to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup , making it the first time that the World Cup will be hosted in Eastern Europe and making it the biggest country geographically to host the World Cup . Qatar was selected to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup , making it the first time a World Cup will be held in the Arab World and the second time in Asia since the 2002 tournament in South Korea and Japan . Also , the decision made it the smallest country geographically to host the World Cup . 2018 Results Nation Vote Round 1 Round 2 Russia 9 13 Spain / Portugal 7 7 Netherlands / Belgium England Eliminated Total votes 22 22 2022 results Nation Vote Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Qatar 11 10 11 14 United States 5 6 8 South Korea 5 5 Eliminated Japan Eliminated Eliminated Australia Eliminated Eliminated Eliminated Total votes 22 22 22 22 2026 FIFA World Cup ( edit ) Main articles : 2026 FIFA World Cup bids and 2026 FIFA World Cup Bids : Canada / Mexico / USA Morocco Under FIFA rules as of 2016 , the 2026 Cup could not be in either Europe ( UEFA ) or Asia ( AFC ) , leaving an African ( CAF ) bid , a North American ( CONCACAF ) bid , a South American ( CONMEBOL ) bid or an Oceanian ( OFC ) bid as other possible options . In March 2017 , FIFA 's president Gianni Infantino confirmed that `` Europe ( UEFA ) and Asia ( AFC ) had been excluded from the bidding following the selection of Russia and Qatar in 2018 and 2022 respectively . '' The bidding process was originally scheduled to start in 2015 , with the appointment of hosts scheduled for the FIFA Congress on 10 May 2017 in Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia . On 10 June 2015 , FIFA announced that the bid process for the 2026 FIFA World Cup was postponed . However , following the FIFA Council meeting on 10 May 2016 , a new bid schedule was announced for May 2020 as the last in a four - phase process . On 14 October 2016 , FIFA said it would accept a tournament - sharing bid by CONCACAF members Canada , Mexico and the United States . On 10 April 2017 , Canada , the United States , and Mexico announced their intention to submit a joint bid to co-host , with three - quarters of the games to be played in the U.S. , including the final . On 11 August 2017 , Morocco officially announced a bid to host . Therefore , the official 2026 FIFA World Cup bids were from two football confederations . The first one was from CONCACAF , which was triple bid by Canada , United States and Mexico , and the second one was from CAF with a bid by Morocco . The host was announced on 13 June 2018 at the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow , Russia . The United Bid from Canada , Mexico and the United States was selected over the Morocco bid by 134 votes to 65 with 1 selecting neither and 3 abstentions . This will be the first World Cup to be hosted by more than two countries . Mexico becomes the first country to host three men 's World Cups and its Estadio Azteca , should selected , will become the first stadium to stage three World Cup tournaments . On the other hand , Canada becomes the fifth country to host both the men 's and women 's World Cups , after Sweden ( Men 's : 1958 / Women 's : 1995 ) , United States ( Men 's : 1994 / Women 's : 1999 , 2003 ) , Germany ( Men 's : 1974 , 2006 / Women 's : 2011 ) , and France ( Men 's : 1934 , 1998 / Women 's : 2019 ) . The United States becomes the first country to host both men 's and women 's World Cup twice each . 2026 Results Nation Vote Round 1 Canada / Mexico / United States 134 Morocco 65 None of the Bids Total votes 200 2030 FIFA World Cup ( edit ) Main article : 2030 FIFA World Cup Two early bids for the 2030 FIFA World Cup - the Centennial World Cup - have been proposed . The first bid has been proposed as a collective bid by the members of the Argentine Football Association and Uruguayan Football Association into a proposed joint bid from Uruguay and Argentina . The second bid has been a proposed bid by The Football Association of England . Under FIFA rules as of 2017 , the 2030 World Cup can not be held in Asia ( AFC ) because the Asian Football Confederation is excluded from the bidding following the selection of Qatar in 2022 . Also in June 2017 , UEFA 's president Aleksander Čeferin stated that Europe ( UEFA ) will definitely fight for its right to host the 2030 World Cup . The Uruguay -- Argentina bid would coincide with the centennial anniversary of the first FIFA World Cup final , and the bicentennial of the first Constitution of Uruguay . The Uruguay - Argentina bid was officially confirmed on 29 July 2017 . A joint bid was announced by the Argentine Football Association and the Uruguayan Football Association on 29 July 2017 . Before Uruguay and Argentina played out a goalless draw in Montevideo , FC Barcelona players Luis Suárez and Lionel Messi promoted the bid with commemorative shirts . On 31 August 2017 , it was suggested Paraguay would join as a third host . CONMEBOL , the South American confederation , confirmed the joint three - way bid in September 2017 . English FA vice chairman David Gill has proposed that his country could bid for 2030 , provided the bidding process is made more transparent . `` England is one of few countries that could stage even a 48 - nation event in its entirety , while Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn made it clear earlier this year bidding for 2030 was an option . '' In June 2017 , UEFA stated that `` it would support a pan-British bid for 2030 or even a single bid from England . '' Moreover , a possible English bid for 2030 was also backed by the German Football Association . On 17 June 2018 , the Royal Moroccan Football Federation announced its co-bidding for the 2030 World Cup . They are co-bidding with the Tunisian Football Federation and the Algerian Football Federation . On 17 June 2018 , the English Football Association announced that they are in talks with home nations over a UK - wide bid to host 2030 World Cup . On 10 July 2018 , Egypt 's Sports Minister expressed interest in bidding to host . The original bid logo for the Uruguay - Argentina World Cup Bid .

The idea of a combined ASEAN bid had been mooted as early as January 2011 , when the Football Association of Singapore 's then - President , Zainudin Nordin , said in a statement that the proposal had been made at an ASEAN Foreign Ministers meeting . In 2013 , Nordin and Special Olympics Malaysia President , Datuk Mohamed Feisol Hassan , recalled the idea for ASEAN to jointly host a World Cup . Under FIFA rules as of 2017 , the 2030 World Cup can not be held in Asia ( AFC ) as Asian Football Confederation members are excluded from the bidding following the selection of Qatar in 2022 . Therefore , the earliest bid by an AFC member could be made for 2034 . Later , Malaysia has withdrawn from involvement but Singapore and other ASEAN countries continued the campaign to submit a joint bid for the World Cup in 2034 . In February 2017 , ASEAN held talks on launching a joint bid during a visit by FIFA chief Gianni Infantino to Yangon , Myanmar . In July 2017 , Joko Driyono , the Vice-President of Indonesia 's Football Association , during the meeting in Vietnam said that Indonesia and Thailand were set to lead a consortium of South - East Asian nations in the bid . Driyono added that , for geographic and infrastructure considerations and the expanded format ( 48 teams ) , at least two or three ASEAN countries combined would be in a position necessary to host matches . In September 2017 , the Football Association of Thailand 's Deputy CEO , Benjamin Tan , at the ASEAN Football Federation ( AFF ) Council meeting , confirmed that his Association has `` put in their interest to bid and co-host '' the 2034 World Cup with Indonesia . On the same occasion , the General Secretary of the AFF , Dato Sri Azzuddin Ahmad , confirmed that Indonesia and Thailand will submit a joint bid . Indonesia is the only Southeast Asian country to have participated in the World Cup ; its national team was the first from Asia to do so and it became one of the fewest World Cup teams to qualify without playing a match because of opponents ' withdrawals . The 1938 World Cup is the Indonesians ' only appearance to date when they were known as the Dutch East Indies . A loss to Hungary made Indonesia the only national team in World Cup history to have played a single match . Far from ever hosting the World Cup , no other Southeast Asian country has ever played at the tournament . As of June 2018 , Indonesia is ranked by FIFA at 164th place . China has announced its interest in bidding several times and reports stated `` that China is likely to host the World Cup for the first time in 2034 . '' Expressed interest in bidding : AFC : Indonesia and Thailand China CAF : Zimbabwe Total bids by country ( edit ) World Cup - winning bids are bolded . Planned but not - yet - official bids for 2030 and beyond are not included .

Host country performances ( edit ) Further information : National team appearances in the FIFA World Cup It is widely considered that home advantage is common in the World Cup , with the host team usually performing above average . Of the eight countries that have won the tournament , only Brazil and Spain have not been champions while hosting , and England has their only title as hosts . Further , Sweden got to its only final as hosts of the 1958 tournament , and only the Swedes and Brazilians finished as runner - up in home soil . The host country reached the semi-finals thirteen times in twenty tournaments , and both Chile and South Korea had their only finishes on the top four at home . Only South Africa in 2010 managed to not go past the group stage . # Performance Team Year Pld Win % GF GA GD GD / M GF / M Champion Uruguay 1930 0 0 100 % 15 12 3.8 Champion France 1998 7 6 0 93 % 15 13 1.9 2.1 Champion England 1966 6 5 0 92 % 11 8 1.3 1.8 Champion Italy 1934 5 0 90 % 12 9 1.8 2.4 5 Champion West Germany 7 6 0 86 % 13 9 1.3 1.9 6 Champion Argentina 1978 7 5 79 % 15 9 1.3 2.1 7 Runner - up Brazil 1950 6 75 % 22 6 16 2.7 3.7 8 Runner - up Sweden 1958 6 75 % 12 7 5 0.8 9 Third place Italy 1990 7 6 0 93 % 10 8 1.1 1.4 10 Third place Germany 2006 7 5 79 % 14 6 8 1.1 11 Third place Chile 1962 6 0 67 % 10 8 0.33 1.3 12 Fourth place South Korea 2002 7 57 % 8 6 0.3 1.1 13 Fourth place Brazil 2014 7 57 % 11 14 − 3 − 0.4 1.57 14 Quarter - final Russia 2018 5 60 % 11 7 0.8 15 Quarter - final Mexico 1986 5 0 80 % 6 0.8 16 Quarter - final Mexico 1970 63 % 6 0.5 1.5 17 Quarter - final Switzerland 1954 0 50 % 11 11 0 0 2.8 18 Quarter - final France 1938 0 50 % 0 0 19 Second round Spain 1982 5 40 % 5 − 1 − 0.2 0.8 20 Round of 16 Japan 2002 63 % 5 0.5 1.25 21 Round of 16 United States 1994 38 % − 1 − 0.3 0.8 22 Group stage South Africa 50 % 5 − 2 − 0.7 Win % → Every draw counted as a half win .

Intrigued by Ice Cube 's `` reality raps '' reflecting on the crime , gang violence , and police harassment that they and other African Americans encounter daily , Dr. Dre convinces Eazy - E to fund a startup record label , Ruthless Records , with Dr. Dre as record producer . When their song `` Boyz - n - the - Hood '' is rejected by a New York rap group , Dr. Dre convinces Eazy - E to perform it instead . It becomes a local hit , and Eazy - E , Ice Cube , Dr. Dre , DJ Yella , and MC Ren form the group N.W.A ( `` Niggaz Wit Attitudes '' ) . Eazy - E accepts Jerry Heller 's offer to manage N.W.A and co-run Ruthless , and Priority Records offers N.W.A a record deal . While recording their debut album , Straight Outta Compton ( 1988 ) , the group are harassed by police due to their race and appearance , prompting Ice Cube to pen the song `` Fuck tha Police '' . The album becomes a controversial hit due to its profanity and violent lyrics , and the group 's style is dubbed gangsta rap by the press . During a 1989 concert tour , the FBI demands that N.W.A stop performing `` Fuck tha Police '' because it encourages violence against law enforcement . Police in Detroit forbid them from performing the song , and a riot breaks out when they perform it anyway . Jerry delays the individual members ' contracts with Ruthless , and when he insists that Ice Cube sign without legal representation , Ice Cube quits the group . His debut solo album , AmeriKKKa 's Most Wanted ( 1990 ) , becomes a hit , but when Priority Records is unable to pay him his advance on his next album , he trashes the label head 's office . When N.W.A heavily insult Ice Cube on their next record , 100 Miles and Runnin ' ( 1990 ) , he responds with the diss track `` No Vaseline '' , criticizing Jerry and his former bandmates and prompting accusations of antisemitism . This , combined with his association with the Nation of Islam , outspoken criticism of the Los Angeles Police Department in the wake of the beating of Rodney King , and starring role in the 1991 film Boyz n the Hood , make him even more famous and controversial . Dr. Dre hires Suge Knight as his manager , through whom he learns that Jerry has been underpaying him . He leaves N.W.A to form Death Row Records with Suge , who has his men threaten Jerry and beat Eazy - E to pressure them to release Dr. Dre from his contract with Ruthless . Dr. Dre enjoys his newfound freedom and begins working with other rappers including Snoop Dogg . His debut solo album , The Chronic ( 1992 ) , sells over five million copies , even as he becomes disturbed by Suge 's violent behavior and the community is rocked by the 1992 Los Angeles riots . Eazy - E , whose fortunes and health have declined , is devastated by the comparative success of his former bandmates . Learning that Jerry has been embezzling money from Ruthless from the beginning , he fires him and rekindles his friendships with Ice Cube and Dr. Dre , who agree to an N.W.A reunion . However , before recording can begin , Eazy - E collapses and is diagnosed with HIV / AIDS . Amid emotional visits from his bandmates , he dies on March 26 , 1995 and is mourned by fans . A year later , Dr. Dre splits from Suge Knight and Death Row to form his own label , Aftermath Entertainment . Clips shown during the film 's credits highlight Ice Cube 's subsequent roles as a film actor and Dr. Dre 's career as a producer and entrepreneur . Several famous rappers credit Dr. Dre with helping to launch their careers , and Beats Electronics , which he co-founded , is bought by Apple Inc. in 2014 for $3 billion .

Leigh Savidge and Alan Wenkus writing , and Tomica Woods - Wright , Ice Cube , and Dr. Dre set to produce the film . In May 2010 , it was announced Andrea Berloff would write a draft of the screenplay . In September 2011 , John Singleton told The Playlist that he was in talks to direct the film , saying : `` I ca n't talk about it too prematurely about the stuff I 'm doing because nothing 's come to fruition yet , but Cube and I are talking about doing the N.W.A. story . The script is really , really good , and so we 're just figuring it out . New Line really wants to make it . '' Also in September 2011 , F. Gary Gray , Craig Brewer , and Peter Berg were reportedly in talks to direct the film . In April 2012 , F. Gary Gray was selected as director . Gray had worked with Ice Cube in the film Friday and Dr. Dre in the film Set It Off . He has also directed some of their music videos . By 2013 , the film was picked up by Universal Studios , who , in December 2013 , hired Jonathan Herman to write a new draft of the script and brought in Will Packer to executive produce , alongside Adam Merims , Alan Wenkus David Engel , Bill Straus , Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni . Casting ( edit ) Casting calls began in the middle of 2010 . There had been rumors of Lil Eazy - E playing his late father Eazy - E , and Ice Cube 's son and fellow rapper O'Shea Jackson Jr. playing his father as well . Ice Cube said of the movie , `` We 're taking it to the nooks and crannies , I think deeper than any other article or documentary on the group , '' he said . `` These are the intimate conversations that helped forge N.W.A. To me , I think it 's interesting to anybody who loves that era and I do n't know any other movie where you can mix Gangster Rap , the F.B.I. , L.A. Riots , HIV , and fucking feuding with each other . This movie has everything from Daryl Gates and the battering ram . '' On February 21 , 2014 , director Gray announced a March 9 , 2014 open casting call for the film in Gardena , California , via his Twitter account . There were also open casting calls in Atlanta and Chicago . Rapper YG auditioned to play MC Ren in the film . The project was scheduled to start filming in April 2014 but was pushed back due to casting delays . On June 18 , 2014 , Universal officially announced that the N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton would be released theatrically on August 14 , 2015 . It was also confirmed that Ice Cube 's son , O'Shea Jackson Jr. , would play a younger version of his father in the film . O'Shea Jr. joined Jason Mitchell and Corey Hawkins , who portrayed group members Eazy - E and Dr. Dre , respectively . In early July 2014 , casting directors for the film issued a casting call for extras and vintage cars in the Los Angeles area . The casting call release stated that filming would begin in August 2014 . In July 2014 , it was confirmed Aldis Hodge would portray MC Ren and Neil Brown Jr. would play DJ Yella . On August 15 , 2014 , Paul Giamatti joined the cast to play N.W.A 's manager Jerry Heller . On August 26 , 2014 , Keith Stanfield joined the cast to play Snoop Dogg . On June 16 , 2015 , Ice Cube revealed that a `` Tupac scene '' had been shot for the film . Entertainment Weekly reported that the role of Tupac Shakur in the film would be played by newcomer Marcc Rose , who was once rumored to be cast by John Singleton in his unmade Tupac biopic . Casting call controversy ( edit ) On July 16 , 2014 , a casting call for extras for Straight Outta Compton was released on the Sande Alessi Casting Facebook page . The casting call was looking for African - American girls for the film using an A-D ranking scale . Though the `` A girls '' category was looking for `` classy '' women of all colors , the `` B through D '' categories were very explicitly linked with skin - tone . As the women get less attractive , the casting call wants the women 's flesh tone to be darker , with the lowest listing calling for `` African American girls . Poor , not in good shape . Medium to dark skin tone . '' The casting call post went viral as people expressed their outrage of what they call colorism , sexism , and racism in the categorizing of black women . A representative for Sande Alessi Casting said the ad was an `` innocent mistake '' and when it comes to casting `` poor '' people , they are also looking for women of various skin tones and body types . As for the A , B , C , D grouping system , Sande Alessi Casting says `` it 's the usual method ( they ) use to look for different types of people for any project and it was n't meant to offend anyone . '' Filming ( edit ) Straight Outta Compton was filmed in Compton , California and Los Angeles , California . Principal photography began on location in Compton on August 5 , 2014 . In early September 2014 , principal exterior shooting on a large post-riot set was observed on Laurel Canyon Boulevard in North Hollywood . While shooting in California , the production spent $50 million in the state and received the California Film & Television Tax Credit . Costume designer Kelli Jones says `` the script was literally changing the entire time we were shooting , I mean literally the entire time . There would be days where I would get a call on Friday and they were like ' oh by the way we 've moved the pool party scene to Monday ' and the pool party scene had like 400 people and I needed to get ' 80s bathing suits , so there was n't a single weekend where me and my team were not working . It was insane ! '' Production Designer Shane Valentino says `` We had 130 sets which is a lot of sets to try and deal with . '' Violence on set ( edit ) On August 12 , 2014 , TMZ reported that just seven days into filming in Compton , a drive - by shooting took place directly in front of the cast and crew members while they were on the set . A group of men standing outside the Compton Courthouse flashed gang signs at a passing car and passengers in the car opened fire on the group . No one affiliated with the film was injured or hurt , but one civilian near the set was shot . Despite the incident , it was announced that filming would continue to take place as planned in the city . On January 29 , 2015 , Suge Knight was involved in a hit - and - run incident that left one man dead and another hospitalized . Witnesses claim that Knight followed the men after an argument on the Straight Outta Compton film set to a burger stand parking lot in Compton , and that the collisions looked intentional . Security footage video was released online in early March showing Knight running over both men but which Knight 's attorney said helps his client 's self - defense claim . Terry Carter , co-founder ( along with Ice Cube ) of Heavyweight Records and a friend of Knight , was the man killed . The second victim , filmmaker Cle Sloan , suffered a mangled foot and head injuries . In October 2017 , transcripts from a grand jury hearing earlier in the year indicated Knight allegedly gave multiple menacing warnings to director F. Gary Gray during filming . Although Gray would testify he did not recall any calls or texts threatening his safety ( a move Deputy District Attorney Cynthia Barnes referred to as intentional perjury out of fear ) , Knight was allegedly angry at his depiction in the film and that he was not compensated for his portrayal . Release ( edit ) Marketing ( edit ) In December 2014 , during a show in Sydney , Australia , Ice Cube gave concertgoers a sneak peek at a trailer for Straight Outta Compton . When an executive producer of the film , Will Packer , was asked if Cube told him he was going to show the trailer or did he `` just put it out there ? '' , Packer responded , `` Cube does what he does . '' He added , `` Cube is the man . We back him . And I love the fact that it 's out there and it 's getting the response that it 's getting , that 's what I 'll say . '' On February 8 , 2015 , Universal released the first official trailer for Straight Outta Compton . The red band trailer was preceded by an introduction featuring N.W.A members Dr. Dre and Ice Cube . A second global trailer for Straight Outta Compton was released on April 1 , 2015 , and was attached with theatrical screenings of Universal 's Furious 7 . On August 7 , 2015 , to help promote the film , Beats by Dre launched a new app through the website StraightOuttaSomewhere.com . The app allows users to create a meme by uploading a picture with the `` Straight Outta '' logo and fill in the blank with a location of their choice . Some people did proclaim that they were `` Straight Outta '' a certain city or locale , while others uploaded funny images and phrases . In under 24 hours , over 78,000 `` Straight Outta '' images were downloaded on social media sites and over 6 million downloads were generated before the film 's opening day . Inquisitr.com proclaimed , `` It 's a successful viral photo campaign that is definitely bringing attention to the movie Straight Outta Compton . '' Security concerns ( edit ) Straight Outta Compton premiered on August 10 , 2015 at the entertainment complex LA Live in Los Angeles , California . An earlier report by L.A. Weekly noted that the LAPD was `` beefing up its presence '' for the event and The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that organizers had `` tripled security '' for the red - carpet premiere . Due to concerns surrounding the violent content depicted in the film , it was reported that movie theaters were hiring extra security during the film 's opening weekend and Universal Studios would be `` reimbursing '' theaters for the cost of adding that security . Universal would later state that the studio was not reimbursing theaters for extra security , but would be `` partnering '' with theaters seeking `` support '' during screenings of the film . No major incidents were reported at showings of the film during its opening weekend . Some critics said it was because of the extra security at some theaters , while others argued that it shows the extra security was unnecessary . Home Media ( edit ) Straight Outta Compton was released on Digital HD on January 5 , 2016 by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment and on Blu - ray and DVD on January 19 , 2016 . The Blu - ray and DVD includes both the theatrical version and an Unrated Director 's Cut , which featured 20 additional minutes of the film . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) Straight Outta Compton grossed $161.2 million in the United States and Canada and $40.4 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $201.6 million . Deadline.com calculated the net profit of the film to be $91.1 million , when factoring together all expenses and revenues for the film . In the United States and Canada , the opening weekend projections were continuously revised upwards , starting from $25 million and going as high as $60 million . The film made $5 million from Thursday night shows , which began at 7 p.m. in 2,264 theaters . After its strong Thursday night showing , Universal was able to add nearly 500 theaters for the film 's opening weekend . Straight Outta Compton made $24.1 million on its opening day , which is the fourth biggest August opening in history . It finished first at the box office in its opening weekend , earning $60.2 million from 2,757 theaters . Its opening weekend total was the fifth - best August opening weekend of all - time , the highest in August for an R - rated film and the highest for a musical biopic . It also set the record for best opening by a film with an African American director , until it was passed by Gray 's own The Fate of the Furious in April 2017 . After a strong first full week showing ( $84.7 million ) , Universal added the film to over 200 additional theaters . The film grossed $26.4 million in its second weekend and again finished first at the box office , ahead of the week 's new releases Sinister 2 , Hitman : Agent 47 and American Ultra . On August 27 , 2015 , Straight Outta Compton became the highest grossing music biopic of all - time in the United States with $120.9 million , passing the 2005 Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line 's $119.5 million total . The film grossed $13.1 million in its third weekend and , once again , finished first at the box office ahead of the week 's new releases War Room , No Escape and We Are Your Friends .

Critical response ( edit ) Straight Outta Compton received positive reviews from critics . On Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 87 % based on 210 reviews , with an average rating of 7.3 / 10 . The site 's consensus reads , `` Straight Outta Compton is a biopic that 's built to last , thanks to F. Gary Gray 's confident direction and engaging performances from a solid cast . '' On Metacritic , it has a score of 72 out of 100 , based on 41 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . On CinemaScore , audiences gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale . Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun - Times awarded the film 3.5 stars out of 4 , calling the film `` enthralling '' and `` energized '' , praising the cast for delivering `` strong , memorable work that transcends mere imitation . '' He called the film `` one of the better musical biopics of the last 20 years . '' Lou Lumenick of the New York Post , also awarding the film a 3.5 / 4 , called it `` one of the summer 's most entertaining and provocative movies '' , finding it `` surprisingly candid '' about the negatives in N.W.A. 's career for a film produced by Ice Cube and Dr. Dre themselves . Peter Travers of Rolling Stone , again giving the film 3.5 out of 4 stars , also praised the film for its honesty in its portrayal of the group and praised Jackson 's performance as Ice Cube , as well as the supporting cast , finding Mitchell 's Eazy - E `` award - caliber '' . However , he did wish that the film elaborated more on the group 's troubles involving misogyny , homophobia and the media . Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal found the group 's musical performances to be `` far and away the most appealing parts of the picture . '' However , he criticized the film for slowing down towards the end , particularly when it gets `` ploddingly sentimental '' once it focuses on the decline and death of Eazy - E . Scott Foundas of Variety praised director Gray for taking familiar biopic paces and bringing a `` richness of observation to the table that transcends cliche . '' He also praised the film for its `` high but never overindulgent '' style and the attention to detail in the production , ranging from the `` exhaustively researched '' screenplay to the `` meticulous care '' involved in assembling the film 's soundtrack . He stated , `` if `` Compton '' is undeniably of the moment , it 's also timeless in its depiction of how artists and writers transform the world around them into angry , profane , vibrant and singular personal expression . '' Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune stated , `` Straight Outta Compton at its best evokes the heady atmosphere of Crenshaw Boulevard and what the group 's success meant to Compton , and vice versa . When the songs themselves take center stage the movie works . What remains in the wings constitutes another , fuller story . '' In a polarized review , Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times felt that the film attempted to take on more storylines than it could handle , also criticizing how bloated it becomes towards the end regarding Heller , though he did praise Giamatti 's performance . Jordan Hoffman of The Guardian also criticized the film 's second half for being `` cheesy '' and `` ( playing ) it too safe '' . Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of The A.V. Club gave the film a C , feeling it had to rely on its timeliness for its thematic weight , and saying the film `` simplifies N.W.A. 's arc to a gangster - movie knock - off about three friends from way back when who are driven apart by bad influences . '' The Washington Post noted the film 's `` lack of interest in process and personality '' compared to the concurrently - released music biopic Love & Mercy , writing : `` it 's no contest as to which Giamatti picture is the better depiction of the actual music - making process . '' According to a poll conducted by Rentrak during the film 's opening weekend , audiences gave the film a full 5 out of 5 stars , a rare achievement for any film , with most box office mega-hits usually rated at between 4 or 4.5 stars in the previous Rentrak polls . The film is very popular among the female moviegoers , with 74 % of the male and 76 % of the female audience giving the film a definite recommend -- very high marks in Rentrak . The subject matter and plot were the primary reasons given by 38 % of moviegoers for coming out to see Straight Outta Compton . Historical accuracy ( edit ) Reactions from the depicted ( edit ) On June 10 , 2015 , MC Ren took to Twitter to voice his displeasure at the lack of exposure his character has in the Straight Outta Compton trailer , saying `` Man fuck these bitches at universal pictures leaving me out the movie trailers tryin to rewrite history . '' and `` When you have bitches work on a hip hop film that do n't know shit about hip hop this is what happens . How the hell u leave me out after all '' . After the film 's release , Ren tweeted , `` True fans know my role in the group as far as lyrics are concerned , do n't let the movie fool you about my contribution to the group . '' He later praised the filmmakers saying , `` Congrats to the cast and crew . Great job of telling our story . '' Despite being a founding member , Arabian Prince 's contribution to the group has been ignored in the movie , and his character has a brief , uncredited cameo in the film . While going on record that he personally harbored no ill will towards the producers , Arabian Prince did note that it led to numerous inquiries and interview requests as to the possible reasons for such a revisionist approach . According to Arabian Prince , `` Maybe for 50 % of the ( movie ) scenes , I was there in real life , on stage , or in the studio . A lot of N.W.A 's early music production was done with my equipment . '' On August 24 , 2015 , Alonzo Williams referred to the film as `` a great fusion of fantasy and reality '' , after admitting that he enjoyed the film . He disputed the accuracy of the scenes where he forbade gangsta rap from being played at his club , saying that the members of N.W.A had not started gangsta rap at that point . He also commented on the scene when Dr. Dre was bailed out of jail by Eazy - E , saying that Dr. Dre had been jailed several times for non-payment of parking fees and that he had an argument with Dre after having bailed him out of jail numerous times . When Alonzo refused to bail Dre out another time , Eazy - E bailed him out instead . Alonzo claimed that it was he who introduced Eazy - E to Jerry Heller . Lawsuit from Heller ( edit ) On August 27 , 2015 , Heller reported to the Los Angeles Times that he had seen the film : `` I 'm still not willing to comment right now on that movie because I think sooner or later it may be part of an ongoing litigation . '' On October 30 , 2015 , Heller filed a 12 - claim lawsuit in the Superior Court of Los Angeles against NBCUniversal , director F. Gary Gray , Legendary Pictures , the screenwriters of the film , Ice Cube , Dr. Dre and the estate of Eazy - E. As well as protesting his depiction in the film , Heller claimed that a significant amount of the film 's content had been taken from his autobiography without permission . The defendants countered with a request that Heller 's defamation charges be dismissed . Misogyny and omissions ( edit ) On August 17 , 2015 , Michel'le , Dr. Dre 's former girlfriend and mother of one of his children , did an exclusive interview with Vlad TV . In the interview , the former Ruthless and Death Row Records artist ponders her and Dre 's abusive relationship and she states that she was aware she was not included in the Straight Outta Compton film . `` Why would Dre put me in it ? I mean ' cause if they start from where they start from I was just a quiet girlfriend who got beat up and told to shut up . '' On August 18 , 2015 , Gawker published an editorial by Dee Barnes titled `` Here 's What 's Missing From Straight Outta Compton : Me and the Other Women Dr. Dre Beat Up '' . Barnes notes that Dr. Dre had repeated instances of physical abuse to female associates during his time in N.W.A , to include the infamous 1991 beating of Barnes in the bathroom of Po Na Na Souk nightclub . In the film , the incidents were never acknowledged . She further notes that important women from the era with close and historically important ties to N.W.A ( JJ Fad , Yo Yo , Tairrie B , etc . ) were absent from the film . In the end , most women portrayed in the film are partying groupies , with Barnes feeling that it could have also acknowledged the female MCs who contributed to N.W.A 's and / or individual members ' success . Gerrick D. Kennedy of the Los Angeles Times revealed the Barnes incident was originally included in an earlier version of the film 's script . On August 21 , 2015 , Dr. Dre responded , apologizing to `` the women I 've hurt . I deeply regret what I did and know that it has forever impacted all of our lives . '' The next day , Apple Inc. , which bought Beats Electronics for $3 billion in 2014 from Dr. Dre and made him an executive , weighed in on the abuse allegations to offer their support to Dre. Apple said in a statement , `` Dre has apologized for the mistakes he 's made in the past and he 's said that he 's not the same person that he was 25 years ago . '' On August 26 , 2015 , Randall Roberts of the Los Angeles Times criticized the film for leaving out the story of the all female rap group J.J. Fad and how some in the media claim the group was responsible for `` forging a path for the breakout success of N.W.A .

'' He added , `` It 's an ' inspired by ' album . It 's inspired by Straight Outta Compton . '' Part of Straight Outta Compton 's successful opening has been attributed to Compton : A Soundtrack , Dr. Dre 's first collection of original music since his 1999 's 2001 album , which was released a week prior to the film 's premiere and debuted at No. 2 on the US Billboard 200 charts and No. 1 on the iTunes charts . Dr. Dre says he will donate royalties from his new album to the city of Compton for a new performing arts facility .

On September 27 , 2010 , Smith 's single was leaked onto the Internet Time magazine , CNN , and Billboard all covered the song the evening it surfaced . The effort was applauded by several celebrities on Twitter , including Ciara , Brandy , Solange Knowles , Britney Spears , and Alfredo Flores . Composition ( edit ) `` ... it means just be an individual . Like , you ca n't be afraid to be yourself , you have to be yourself , and you ca n't let anyone tell you that that 's wrong . '' -- Willow Smith on the lyrics of `` Whip My Hair '' Lyrically the song is about letting loose , being as wild as can be , while she asks ladies to `` whip their hair '' and `` shake haters off '' . The lyrics have motivational undertones , speaking of self - love and assurance , and referring to letting your hair down as a representation of this in parts like the line , `` Keep fighting until I get there , when I 'm down and I feel like giving up / I whip my hair back and forth , I whip it , I whip it real good . '' `` Whip My Hair '' A sample of the song , featuring the line , `` Do n't let haters keep me off my grind . '' Problems playing this file ? See media help . `` Whip My Hair '' is a high - tempo R&B - hip hop piece incorporating dance - pop and crunk , with funk and disco influences . The song is said to be composed in an `` eclectic '' style , and makes use of heavy synthesizers and drums. Smith 's vocals are auto - tuned in some parts , while containing keyboard washes over a drum - heavy beat described as `` propulsive '' and `` futuristic '' . The song features a knocking beat , including the vocal refrain of `` I whip my hair back and forth '' . Some critics have deemed the song too similar to Smith 's musical influence Rihanna . Additionally , others said the song was similar to the style of Rihanna contemporaries Ciara and Keri Hilson , with a hip hop feel similar to Lil Mama . Gina Serpe of E ! Online called the track a fourth - grade version of Rihanna and Hilson . Critical reception ( edit ) According to critics , the song took influence from a number of other artists , namely Rihanna ( pictured ) . Comparisons to the Barbadian singer earned Smith the nickname `` baby Rihanna '' after the song 's leak . The track has received polarized reviews . A main point critics attributed to the song was its ability to be kid - friendly , yet appeal to all music listeners , with Gerrick Kennedy of The Los Angeles Times calling the song radio , club , and recess - friendly , and Daniela Capistrano of MTV News calling it a `` kid - friendly club banger '' . Kennedy commented , `` do n't let her age fool you ; the song packs serious punch . '' Capistrano said that the song 's `` crazy '' beat works on the schoolyard and dancefloor . Commenting that the song was age - appropriate , Gina Serpe of E ! Online said , that accomplishment was commendable , stating , `` it 's got to be a bit of a battle finding material suitable for someone still in the single - digits . '' Tim Stack of Entertainment Weekly commended the song , complimenting the production value , stating the song was `` Lil Mama meets Rihanna '' . CBC said while the song may not be deep , it was the best to be expected from a `` fourth grade fashionista '' , commenting the track was more `` schoolyard friendly '' than any music released by Miley Cyrus . The Guardian described the track as `` a pretty good R&B belter in the same vein as Rihanna , all heavily treated vocals and huge juddering beats '' . BET Sound Off blog commented that Smith had more personality on the track than fellow artists three times her age . Melinda Newman of HitFix complimented Smith 's `` competent '' singing voice . Chart performance ( edit ) Prior to radio add dates and release , the song collected greatest gainer recognitions on the US Rap Songs chart . On the week ending September 25 , 2010 the song debuted at number 60 on the US Hot R&B / Hip - Hop Songs . It jumped to number 38 on that same chart in the following week . It has so far peaked at number five . `` Whip My Hair '' debuted at number 78 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of October 28 , 2010 and moved up to number 11 the next week . It has sold over 1,216,000 digital copies in the US alone . On December 8 , 2010 , `` Whip My Hair '' debuted on the UK Midweeks at number 1 , but on December 12 , 2010 , it was beaten to the top by The Black Eyed Peas with `` The Time ( Dirty Bit ) '' . Music video ( edit ) Background and release ( edit ) Smith filmed the song 's accompanying music video in Los Angeles the week of September 20 , 2010 . Ray Kay , known for Lady Gaga 's `` Poker Face '' and Justin Bieber 's `` Baby '' , among others , was to direct the clip . In an interview with Rap - Up , Kay said `` I 'm certain people that are watching the video will feel inspired to develop their own individuality and freedom and express their own art after seeing Willow in this video . '' Kay also confirmed that the shooting would take two days , and require a lot from Smith , but said , the director was confident that Smith would `` kill it '' in front of the camera . Later , Kay commented to Rap - Up in a separate piece , `` I think this video will be considered iconic in the future . Willow is definitely here to stay , she 's a superstar . I think we managed to create a fresh expression using Willow 's amazing energy , a positive and inspiring concept , and mixing the colors of the sets with Willow 's fashion , which consisted of custom - made clothing and exclusive One Z jumpsuits . She 's a trendsetter already and I 'm sure others will be copying her style soon ! '' A teaser video released on September 16 , 2010 received 1.2 million views prior to the release of the official music video . The video premiered on October 18 , 2010 , with Vevo hosting its online premiere , and its first televised airing during Smith 's appearance on 106 & Park . Before the video received its official premieres , it was leaked online , and RocNation removed all unauthorized clips . Just a day after release , the video had reportedly garnered over 100,000 views on YouTube . Synopsis ( edit ) The video begins in a futuristic cafeteria with kids , dubbed the `` Warriorettes '' , sitting down at tables wearing all white while the tables and walls are gray . Smith then enters the room in colorful attire , including a blue vest , orange pants and a belt with her name on it , while donning rhinestones on her lips and extravagant nail tips . With her braids shaped to form a heart , she carries a boombox filled with paint and plays it while undoing her braids and dipping them into paint inside the stereo , using her hair as a paintbrush and enlivening the atmosphere with colors . Smith then performs dance moves and gets the classroom involved , which is intercut with the singer now donning a colorful mohawk , performing choreography with dancers with blue shirts in front of a light blue backdrop . She alternates different hairstyles , and then walks down a hallway with her backup dancers , donning a cotton candy-esque hairstyle . She further whips her hair to give color to the lockers and students ' attire , before performing extensive choreography with the hallway students . Midway , Smith and her dancers perform a dance routine with music not in the original song . The last scenes involves Smith with puff braids and in a yellow jumpsuit with her backup dancers in a different classroom trying to get them to dance , which is intercut with previous paint - splashing scenes , as the students , including her brother Jaden , teachers , janitor , elderly lady , and toddler dance . A writer for Rap - Up said that Smith `` is in a class of her own in the breakout video for her empowering anthem '' , calling the video `` the birth of more B.S. '' . Reception ( edit ) Natalie Finn of E ! Online commended the video for being `` sassy , yet kid friendly '' . Carina Adly MacKenzie of Zap2it said while the song took everyone by surprise , that the video was `` even more awesome '' , commenting , `` we probably should n't be shocked that Willow has more charisma in her pinky finger than half the artists twice her age . '' Ryan Brockington of The New York Post reviewed the video positively , stating , `` great thing about the video is that director Ray Kay kept it very young and colorful , the complete opposite of the very grown up sounding track . '' A Popeater writer said that the video `` has transcended from Jada and Will Smith 's 9 - year - old kiddo to a legitimate star '' , stating , `` the video stacks up to the incredibly catchy , Rihanna - sounding song with killer outfits , fun classroom dance pieces and , yes , tons of hair whipping -- with paint ! '' Also , a Celebuzz writer said that Smith `` kills it with some seriously fierce bling , dance moves and , of course , intense hair whipping '' . Commenting that Smith had the attitude of a `` full - blown teen '' , Melinda Newman of HitFix commented , `` As Miley Cyrus gets ready to become an adult , we can fill that spot with Willow '' , complimenting her charisma . Matt Cherrete of Chris Ryan of MTV Buzzworthy said the video lived up to the `` energy '' and `` power '' of the track , commenting that it contained the `` most inspiring and awesome youth power dancing , hair whipping and floor stomping that you 're going to see all day '' . Matt Donnelly of The Los Angeles Times said with the release , the singer `` introduces to us a pre-preteen firecracker who lives up to her impeccable breeding and perhaps takes the legacy one step further '' . Admitting she originally dismissed the song and a video concept , due to her quick rise to fame and the oversexualized image of pop music already , Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly commented , `` his clip is about to put a boom in the chiropracting industry ( with possible ancillary benefits for housepaint ) , because girl can snap it . '' Billy Johnson , Jr. of Yahoo ! Music said among the many dancers in the clip , Smith `` shines as the clear breakout star '' , calling the video a `` smash '' , and commenting `` she pulls it off without need for cameo appearances from her famous parents . '' Veronica Miller of NPR that it was n't the hairstyles that made the clip , but `` the sheer fearlessness with which young Willow is singing , dancing and whipping '' , stating she has `` just enough sass and pluck and confidence to hold our attention and leave us wanting more '' . The video was nominated for `` Video of the Year '' and `` Outstanding Music Video '' at the 2011 BET Awards and NAACP Image Awards respectively . Live performances ( edit ) Smith performed the song for the first time live on November 2 , 2010 on The Ellen DeGeneres Show . Smith again performed the song on December 6 , 2010 at the LA Live Tree Lighting , and on December 31 , 2010 at Dick Clark 's New Year 's Rockin ' Eve with Ryan Seacrest . Later she performed the song on March 1 , 2011 on The Oprah Winfrey Show , on April 3 , 2011 at the 2011 Kids Choice Awards and on April 25 , 2011 at the 2011 White House Easter Egg Roll . She also performed the song as an opening act on the United Kingdom leg of Justin Bieber 's My World Tour . Cultural impact ( edit ) In September 2010 , a fan - made mash - up of the video and a Sesame Street segment appeared online . The original Sesame Street clip featured a puppet portrayed as a young black girl proud of her hair . She flails her braids , cornrows , afro , and other ethnic hairstyles . According to the show 's writer , Joey Mazzarino , the song was a tribute to his Ethiopian daughter 's hair , writing it , stating that he wanted to say , `` Your hair is great . You can put it in ponytails . You can put it in cornrows . I wish I had hair like you . '' The mash - up uses different shots in the show 's segment paired with `` Whip My Hair '' to act as a music video . During the week of release of the `` Whip My Hair '' video , the Sesame Street clip also went viral . Veronica Miller of NPR commented that with both clips , `` little black girls are having the best week ever '' , noting the rarity that `` little African - American girls are publicly celebrated for their uniqueness and beauty '' , due to non-positive comments about their physical appearance , making them question individual and collective beauty . On the single 's video , Miller said , `` Little Willow is operating with a sort of empowerment that grown women can sense , admire , and in some cases , envy '' , stating , `` not many girls are taught that it 's OK to openly love and affirm yourself . '' Noting that the norm is not to be `` sassy '' or `` cute '' , she said that `` Whip My Hair '' is `` a celebration of little girls celebrating themselves '' . On the November 16 , 2010 episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon the song was covered in an acoustic folk / country style by Jimmy Fallon in character as Neil Young . Fallon / Young was accompanied by that evening 's musical guest Bruce Springsteen , who was dressed in parody of himself from the mid-1970s . In 2011 , fictional music group The Chipettes recorded a cover version titled `` Whip My Tail '' for the film Alvin and the Chipmunks : Chipwrecked and its soundtrack . In 2013 , the song was used as a `` lip - sync for your life '' song on the fifth season of RuPaul 's Drag Race , during the seventh episode `` RuPaul Roast '' . Contestants Alyssa Edwards and Roxxxy Andrews were in the bottom two after failing the challenge . After a double wig trick from Andrews , an energetic performance from Edwards and an emotional breakdown from Andrews , both contestants were saved from elimination . RuPaul has gone on to say that this performance was his favorite lip - sync ever .

The series follows the misadventures of cynical mad scientist Rick Sanchez and his fretful , easily influenced grandson Morty Smith , who split their time between domestic life and interdimensional adventures . The series premiered on December 2 , 2013 and its third season concluded on October 1 , 2017 . A fourth season has been mentioned first by Harmon in a September 2017 interview , and later in the post-credits scene of the third season 's finale . Roiland voices the eponymous characters , with Chris Parnell , Spencer Grammer , and Sarah Chalke voicing the rest of the family . The series originated from an animated short parody film of Back to the Future , The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti , created by Roiland for Channel 101 , a short film festival co-founded by Harmon . When Adult Swim approached Harmon for television show ideas , he and Roiland decided to develop a program based on the short . The series has received universal acclaim for its originality , creativity and humor .

From the right : Rick Sanchez , Morty Smith , Summer Smith , Beth Smith , and Jerry Smith . The show revolves around the adventures of the members of the Smith household , which consists of parents Jerry and Beth , their kids Summer and Morty , and Beth 's father , Rick Sanchez , who lives with them as a guest . Rick is an eccentric and alcoholic mad scientist , who eschews many ordinary conventions such as school , marriage , love , and family . He frequently goes on adventures with his 14 - year - old grandson , Morty , a kind but easily distressed boy , whose naive but grounded moral compass plays counterpoint to Rick 's Machiavellian ego . Morty 's 17 - year - old sister , Summer , is a more conventional teenager , who worries about improving her status among her peers and sometimes follows Rick and Morty on their adventures . The kids ' mother , Beth , is a generally level - headed person and assertive force in the household , though self - conscious about her professional role as a horse doctor . She is dissatisfied with her marriage with Jerry , a simple - minded and insecure person , who disapproves of Rick 's influence over his family . Different versions of the characters inhabit other dimensions throughout the multiverse and their personal characteristics can vary from one reality to another . The show 's original Rick identifies himself as `` Rick Sanchez of Earth Dimension C - 137 '' , in reference to his original universe , but this does n't necessarily apply to every other member of the Smith household . For instance , in the first - season episode `` Rick Potion # 9 '' , after turning the entire world population into monsters , Rick and Morty move to a different dimension , leaving Summer , Beth and Jerry behind . Setting According to Justin Roiland , the family lives outside of Seattle in the U.S. state of Washington . The adventures of Rick and Morty , however , take place across an infinite number of realities , with the characters travelling to other planets and dimensions through portals and Rick 's flying car . Series overview Main article : List of Rick and Morty episodes Season Episodes Originally aired First aired Last aired 11 December 2 , 2013 ( 2013 - 12 - 02 ) April 14 , 2014 ( 2014 - 04 - 14 ) 10 July 26 , 2015 ( 2015 - 07 - 26 ) October 4 , 2015 ( 2015 - 10 - 04 ) 10 April 1 , 2017 ( 2017 - 04 - 01 ) October 1 , 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 01 ) Production Development Creators Dan Harmon ( left ) and Justin Roiland Rick and Morty was created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon . The duo first met at Channel 101 , a non-profit monthly short film festival in Los Angeles co-founded by Harmon . At Channel 101 , participants submit a short film in the format of a pilot , and a live audience decides which pilots continue as a series . Roiland , then a producer on reality programming , began submitting content to the festival a year after its launch , in 2004 . His pilots typically consisted of shock value -- `` sick and twisted '' elements that received a confused reaction from the audience . Nevertheless , Harmon took a liking to his humor and the two began collaborating . In 2006 , Roiland was fired from working on a television series he regarded as intensely creatively stifling , and funneled his creative energies into creating a webisode for Channel 101 . The result was The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti , an animated short starring Doc Brown and Marty McFly , characters from the Back to the Future film trilogy . In the short , which Harmon would dub `` a bastardization , a pornographic vandalization '' , Doc Smith urges Mharti that the solution to all of his problems is to give him oral sex . The audience reacted to it wildly , and Roiland began creating more shorts involving the characters , which soon evolved beyond his original intentions and their obvious origin within the film from which it was culled . Harmon would later create and produce Community , an NBC sitcom , while Roiland would work primarily in voice acting for Disney 's Fish Hooks and Cartoon Network 's Adventure Time . In 2012 , Harmon was briefly fired from Community . Adult Swim , searching for a more prime - time , `` hit '' show , approached Harmon shortly afterward , who initially viewed the channel as unfit for his style . He also was unfamiliar with animation , and his process for creating television focuses more heavily on dialogue , characters , and story . Instead , he phoned Roiland to inquire if he had any ideas for an animated series . Roiland immediately brought up the idea of using the Doc and Mharti characters , renamed Rick and Morty . Roiland initially wanted the show 's run time to consist of one eleven - minute segment , but Adult Swim pushed for a half - hour program . Harmon felt the best way to extend the voices into a program would be to build a family around the characters , while Adult Swim development executive Nick Weidenfeld suggested that Rick be Morty 's grandfather . Having pitched multiple television programs that did not get off the ground , Roiland was initially very unreceptive to others attempting to give notes on his pitch . Prior to developing Rick and Morty , he had created three failed animated pilots for Fox , and he had begun to feel `` burned out '' with developing television . The first draft was completed in six hours on the Paramount Pictures lot in Dan Harmon 's unfurnished Community office . The duo had broken the story that day , sold the pilot , and then sat down to write . Roiland , while acknowledging a tendency for procrastination , encouraged Harmon to stay and write the entire first draft . `` We were sitting on the floor , cross-legged with laptops and I was about to get up and go home and he said , ' Wait , if you go home , it might take us three months to write this thing . Stay here right now and we can write it in six hours . ' He just had a premonition about that , '' recalled Harmon . Adult Swim was initially unsure of Roiland doing both voices , partially due to the undeveloped nature of the character of Morty . Harmon wrote four short premises in which Morty took a more assertive role and sent it to Mike Lazzo . Adult Swim placed a tamer TV - 14 rating on the program , which initially was met with reluctance from the show 's staff . The network 's reason behind the rating was that it would soon begin broadcasting in prime - time , competing with major programs . The main theme for Rick and Morty by Ryan Elder was originally used in a rejected Cartoon Network pilot Roiland made called `` Dog World '' , which was referenced in the episode `` Lawnmower Dog '' . Writing The general formula of Rick and Morty consists of the juxtaposition of two conflicting scenarios : an extremely selfish , alcoholic grandfather dragging his grandson across space for intergalactic and / or interdimensional adventures , intercut with domestic family drama . This has led Harmon to describe the series as a cross between Matt Groening 's two shows The Simpsons and Futurama , balancing family life with heavy science fiction . The series is inspired by British - style storytelling , as opposed to traditional American family TV stories . Roiland has stated his and Harmon 's intentions for the series to lack traditional continuity , opting for discontinuous storylines `` not bound by rules '' . In producing the series ' first season , episodes were occasionally written out of order . For example , `` Rick Potion # 9 '' was the second episode written for the series , but was instructed to be animated as the fifth , as it would make more sense within the series ' continuity . Many episodes are structured with use of a story circle , a Harmon creation based largely on Joseph Campbell 's monomyth , or The Hero 's Journey . Its two - act structure places the act break at an odd location in the stages of the monomyth : after The Meeting with the Goddess , instead of Atonement with the Father . Harmon has stated that his inspiration behind much of the concept and humor for the series comes from various British television series , such as The Hitchhiker 's Guide to the Galaxy and Doctor Who . He figures that the audience will only understand developments from Morty 's point of view , but stated `` we do n't want to be the companions . We want to hang out with the Doctor , we idolize the Doctor , but we do n't think like him , and that 's really interesting , Rick is diseased , he 's mentally ill , he 's an absolute lunatic because he lives on this larger scale . '' Harmon has noted that the writers room at the show 's studio bears a striking resemblance to the one used for Community . In comparing the two , he noted that the writing staff of Rick and Morty was significantly smaller , and more `` rough and tumble verbally '' . The first season writing staff consisted of Roiland , Harmon , Tom Kauffman , Ryan Ridley , Wade Randolph , and Eric Acosta , while writer 's assistant Mike McMahan was also given writing credit . Described as a `` very , very tiny little writers ' room with a lot of heavy lifting from everybody , '' the show 's writing staff , like many Adult Swim productions , is not unionized with the Writers ' Guild of America . The writing staff first meets and discusses ideas , which evolve into a story . Discussions often include anecdotes from personal life as well as thoughts on the science fiction genre . After breaking the story -- which consists of developing its consistency and logical beginning , middle , and conclusion -- a writer is assigned to create an outline . Roiland and Harmon do a `` pass '' on the outline , and from there the episode undergoes several more drafts . The final draft of the script is last approved by either of the co-creators . Harmon has admitted that his perfectionism can some times be disruptive and cause writing schedule delays . For the most part , this was the reason why the third season of the show consisted of only ten episodes instead of fourteen , as was initially intended . Animation and voice recording Animation for the show is done using Toon Boom Harmony , post-production work is done in Adobe After Effects , and background art is done in Adobe Photoshop . Production of animation is handled by Bardel Entertainment in Canada . Roiland 's cartooning style is heavily indebted to The Simpsons , a factor he acknowledged in a 2013 interview , while also comparing his style to that of Pendleton Ward ( Adventure Time ) and J.G. Quintel ( Regular Show ) : `` You 'll notice mouths are kind of similar and teeth are similar , but I think that 's also a stylistic thing that ... all of us are kind of the same age , and we 're all inspired by The Simpsons and all these other shows we 're kind of subconsciously tapping into . '' John Kricfalusi 's The Ren & Stimpy Show was another strong influence for Rick and Morty , which is why , according to Roiland , the small `` w - shaped mouths '' that the characters occasionally make is a reference to a similar expression that Ren frequently makes . When recording dialogue , Roiland does a considerable amount of improvisation , in order to make the characters feel more natural . Future Althought there has n't been an official renewal announcement by Adult Swim , Dan Harmon talked about the possibility of creating more than ten episodes per season , in a September 2017 interview , where he stated `` I 'm about to do season 4 of Rick and Morty and want to prove that I 've grown . '' On October 1 , 2017 , similarly to the second - season finale , the animated character Mr. Poopybutthole re-appeared in the post-credits scene of the third - season finale and said that it will be a long wait until the fourth season of the show . Philosophy This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page . ( November 2017 ) Nobody exists on purpose , nobody belongs anywhere , everybody 's gon na die . Come watch TV . `` '' Morty Smith , `` Rixty Minutes '' There has been discussion among viewers about the philosophy of Rick and Morty . The show most frequently adopts an existentialist perspective , while Harmon has described Rick as an anarchist , who does n't like being told what to do . Other philosophies that have been referenced in the characters behavior and observations include : absurdism , nihilism and the work of Friedrich Nietzsche . The series addresses the insignificance of human existence as compared to the size of the universe , with no recognizable divine presence , as described by Lovecraft 's philosophy of cosmicism . The characters of the show find ways to deal with cosmic horror and existential dread , either by asserting the utility of science over magic or choosing life in ignorant bliss . Release The series was first announced during Adult Swim 's 2012 Upfront presentation . Adult Swim ordered 10 half - hour episodes ( not including the pilot ) to comprise the first season .

Episodes have also been made available to stream on the series ' official website with a cable provider login . The episode `` Rixty Minutes '' was released early by the network via 109 15 - second videos on Instagram .

Following the conclusion of the show 's third season , Adult Swim has made a livestream marathon of Rick and Morty available to watch on its official website in select regions , hoping to dissuade viewers from watching the illegal livestreams on YouTube , which constitute copyright infringement . Home Media The complete first season was released on DVD ( Region 1 ) and Blu - ray on October 7 , 2014 . Before its release , Roiland had confirmed that it would contain uncensored audio tracks .

Reception Critical reception Season Critical response Rotten Tomatoes Metacritic 100 % ( 5 reviews ) 85 ( 8 reviews ) 95 % ( 8 reviews ) N / A 98 % ( 12 reviews ) N / A Rick and Morty has received universal critical acclaim , holding a 97 % approval rating by critics on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes . Additionally , the first season of Rick and Morty holds a Metacritic score of 85 based on eight reviews , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . David Weigand of San Francisco Chronicle described it as `` offbeat and occasionally coarse ... the take - away here is that it works '' . He praised the animation direction by James McDermott for being `` fresh , colorful and as wacky as the script '' , and states that the series possesses `` shades of Futurama , South Park and even Beetlejuice '' , ultimately opining that its humor felt `` entirely original '' . Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times praised the series and stated that it was `` Grandparenting at its unhinged finest . '' Todd Spangler of Variety gave the series a lukewarm review ; while he found the series was passable , he contrasted it with other Adult Swim series as `` often seems overly reliant on simply being frenetic at the expense of being witty '' and enjoyed it as `` a welcome attempt to dream just a little bigger '' . David Sims of The A.V. Club gave the series an `` A − '' . In reviewing the first two episodes , he complimented the animation for its `` clean , simple style '' . He stated that while the series has `` a dark , sick sensibility '' , he praised its `` effort to give each character a little bit of depth '' , further applauding Roiland 's voice talent for the eponymous characters .

Caribbean Sea
Caribbean Sea - wikipedia Caribbean Sea A sea of the Atlantic Ocean bounded by North , Central , and South America Caribbean Sea Coordinates 15 ° N 75 ° W  /  15 ° N 75 ° W  / 15 ; - 75 Coordinates : 15 ° N 75 ° W  /  15 ° N 75 ° W  / 15 ; - 75 Type Sea Surface area 2,754,000 km ( 1,063,000 sq mi ) Max . depth 7,686 m ( 25,217 ft ) Coral reef , near Soufrière Quarter , Saint Lucia The Caribbean Sea ( Spanish : Mar Caribe ; French : Mer des Caraïbes ; Dutch : Caraïbische Zee ) is a sea of the Atlantic Ocean in the tropics of the Western Hemisphere . It is bounded by Mexico and Central America to the west and south west , to the north by the Greater Antilles starting with Cuba , to the east by the Lesser Antilles , and to the south by the north coast of South America . The entire area of the Caribbean Sea , the numerous islands of the West Indies , and adjacent coasts , are collectively known as the Caribbean . The Caribbean Sea is one of the largest seas and has an area of about 2,754,000 km ( 1,063,000 sq mi ) . The sea 's deepest point is the Cayman Trough , between the Cayman Islands and Jamaica , at 7,686 m ( 25,217 ft ) below sea level . The Caribbean coastline has many gulfs and bays : the Gulf of Gonâve , Gulf of Venezuela , Gulf of Darién , Golfo de los Mosquitos , Gulf of Paria and Gulf of Honduras . The Caribbean Sea has the world 's second biggest barrier reef , the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef . It runs 1,000 km ( 620 mi ) along the coasts of Mexico , Belize , Guatemala , and Honduras .

The name `` Caribbean '' derives from the Caribs , one of the region 's dominant Native American groups at the time of European contact during the late 15th century . After Christopher Columbus landed in the Bahamas in 1492 , the Spanish term Antillas applied to the lands ; stemming from this , `` Sea of the Antilles '' became a common alternative name for `` Caribbean Sea '' in various European languages . During the first century of development , Spanish dominance in the region remained undisputed . From the 16th century , Europeans visiting the Caribbean region identified the `` South Sea '' ( the Pacific Ocean , to the south of the isthmus of Panama ) as opposed to the `` North Sea '' ( the Caribbean Sea , to the north of the same isthmus ) . Tulum , Maya city on the coast of the Caribbean in the state of Quintana Roo ( Mexico ) The Caribbean Sea had been unknown to the populations of Eurasia until 1492 , when Christopher Columbus sailed into Caribbean waters on a quest to find a sea route to Asia . At that time the Western Hemisphere in general was unknown to most Europeans , although it had been discovered between the years 800 and 1000 by the vikings . Following the discovery of the islands by Columbus , the area was quickly colonized by several Western cultures ( initially Spain , then later England , the Dutch Republic , France , Courland and Denmark ) . Following the colonization of the Caribbean islands , the Caribbean Sea became a busy area for European - based marine trading and transports , and this commerce eventually attracted pirates such as Samuel Bellamy and Blackbeard . As of 2015 the area is home to 22 island territories and borders 12 continental countries . Extent ( edit ) The International Hydrographic Organization defines the limits of the Caribbean Sea as follows : On the North . In the Windward Channel -- a line joining Caleta Point ( 74 ° 15 ′ W ) and Pearl Point ( 19 ° 40 ′ N ) in Haïti . In the Mona Passage -- a line joining Cape Engaño and the extreme of Agujereada ( 18 ° 31 ′ N 67 ° 08 ′ W  /  18.517 ° N 67.133 ° W  / 18.517 ; - 67.133 ) in Puerto Rico . Coral reefs in the British Virgin Islands Eastern limits . From Point San Diego ( Puerto Rico ) Northward along the meridian thereof ( 65 ° 39 ′ W ) to the 100 - fathom line , thence Eastward and Southward , in such a manner that all islands , shoals and narrow waters of the Lesser Antilles are included in the Caribbean Sea as far as Galera Point ( Northeast extremity of the island of Trinidad ) . From Galera Point through Trinidad to Galeota Point ( Southeast extreme ) and thence to Baja Point ( 9 ° 32 ′ N 61 ° 0 ′ W  /  9.533 ° N 61.000 ° W  / 9.533 ; - 61.000 ) in Venezuela . Note that , although Barbados is an island on the same continental shelf , it is considered to be in the Atlantic Ocean rather than the Caribbean Sea . Geology ( edit ) The Caribbean Sea is an oceanic sea largely situated on the Caribbean Plate . The Caribbean Sea is separated from the ocean by several island arcs of various ages . The youngest stretches from the Lesser Antilles to the Virgin Islands to the north east of Trinidad and Tobago off the coast of Venezuela . This arc was formed by the collision of the South American Plate with the Caribbean Plate and includes active and extinct volcanoes such as Mount Pelee , the Quill ( volcano ) on Sint Eustatius in the Caribbean Netherlands and Morne Trois Pitons on Dominica . The larger islands in the northern part of the sea Cuba , Hispaniola , Jamaica and Puerto Rico lie on an older island arc . The geological age of the Caribbean Sea is estimated to be between 160 and 180 million years and was formed by a horizontal fracture that split the supercontinent called Pangea in the Mesozoic Era . It is assumed the proto - caribbean basin existed in the Devonian period . In the early Carboniferous movement of Gondwana to the north and its convergence with the Euramerica basin decreased in size . The next stage of the Caribbean Sea 's formation began in the Triassic . Powerful rifting led to the formation of narrow troughs , stretching from modern Newfoundland to the west coast of the Gulf of Mexico which formed siliciclastic sedimentary rocks . In the early Jurassic due to powerful marine transgression , water broke into the present area of the Gulf of Mexico creating a vast shallow pool . The emergence of deep basins in the Caribbean occurred during the Middle Jurassic rifting . The emergence of these basins marked the beginning of the Atlantic Ocean and contributed to the destruction of Pangaea at the end of the late Jurassic . During the Cretaceous the Caribbean acquired the shape close to that seen today . In the early Paleogene due to Marine regression the Caribbean became separated from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean by the land of Cuba and Haiti . The Caribbean remained like this for most of the Cenozoic until the Holocene when rising water levels of the oceans restored communication with the Atlantic Ocean . The shaded relief map of the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico area . The Caribbean 's floor is composed of sub-oceanic sediments of deep red clay in the deep basins and troughs . On continental slopes and ridges calcareous silts are found . Clay minerals likely having been deposited by the mainland river Orinoco and the Magdalena River . Deposits on the bottom of the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico have a thickness of about 1 km ( 0.62 mi ) . Upper sedimentary layers relate to the period from the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic ( 250 million years ago to present ) and the lower layers from the Paleozoic to the Mesozoic . The Caribbean sea floor is divided into five basins separated from each other by underwater ridges and mountain ranges . Atlantic Ocean water enters the Caribbean through the Anegada Passage lying between the Lesser Antilles and Virgin Islands and the Windward Passage located between Cuba and Haiti . The Yucatán Channel between Mexico and Cuba links the Gulf of Mexico with the Caribbean . The deepest points of the sea lie in Cayman Trough with depths reaching approximately 7,686 m ( 25,220 ft ) . Despite this , the Caribbean Sea is considered a relatively shallow sea in comparison to other bodies of water . Caribbean Sea view from Bodden Town , Grand Cayman Caribbean plate tectonics The pressure of the South American Plate to the east of the Caribbean causes the region of the Lesser Antilles to have high volcanic activity . There was a very serious eruption of Mount Pelée in 1902 which caused many casualties . The Caribbean sea floor is also home to two oceanic trenches : the Cayman Trench and Puerto Rico Trench , which put the area at a high risk of earthquakes . Underwater earthquakes pose a threat of generating tsunamis which could have a devastating effect on the Caribbean islands . Scientific data reveals that over the last 500 years the area has seen a dozen earthquakes above 7.5 magnitude . Most recently , a 7.1 earthquake struck Haiti on January 12 , 2010 . List of islands in the Caribbean Oceanography ( edit ) Sketch of the North Equatorial Current and the Gulf Stream The hydrology of the sea has a high level of homogeneity . Annual variations in monthly average water temperatures at the surface do not exceed 3 ° C ( 5.4 ° F ) . Over the past fifty years the Caribbean has gone through three stages : cooling until 1974 ; a cold phase with peaks during 1974 -- 1976 and 1984 -- 1986 then ; a warming phase with an increase in temperature of 0.6 ° C ( 1.1 ° F ) per year . Virtually all temperature extremes were associated with the phenomena of El Niño and La Niña . The salinity of seawater is about 3.6 % and its density is 1,023.5 -- 1,024.0 kg / m ( 63.90 -- 63.93 lb / cu ft ) . The surface water colour is blue - green to green . The Caribbean 's depth in its wider basins and deep water temperatures are similar to those of the Atlantic . Atlantic deep water is thought to spill into the Caribbean and contribute to the general deep water of its sea . The surface water ( 30 feet ; 100 m ) acts as an extension of the northern Atlantic as the Guiana Current and part of the North Equatorial Current enter the sea on the east . On the western side of the sea the trade winds influence a northerly current which causes an upwelling and a rich fishery near Yucatán . Ecology ( edit ) The Caribbean is home to about 9 % of the world 's coral reefs covering about 50,000 km ( 19,000 sq mi ) , most of which are located off the Caribbean Islands and the Central American coast . Among them stands out the Belize Barrier Reef with an area of 963 km ( 372 sq mi ) which was declared a World Heritage Site in 1996 . It forms part of the Great Mayan Reef also known as the MBRS and being over 1,000 km ( 600 mi ) in length is the world 's second longest . It runs along the Caribbean coasts of Mexico , Belize , Guatemala and Honduras . During the past ten years , unusually warm Caribbean waters have been increasingly threatening Caribbean coral reefs . Coral reefs support some of the most diverse marine habitats in the world , but they are fragile ecosystems . When tropical waters become unusually warm for extended periods of time , microscopic plants called zooxanthellae , which are symbiotic partners living within the coral polyp tissues , die off . These plants provide food for the corals , and give them their color . The result of the death and dispersal of these tiny plants is called coral bleaching , and can lead to the devastation of large areas of reef . Over 42 % of corals are completely bleached and 95 % are experiencing some type of whitening . Historically the Caribbean is thought to contain 14 % of the world 's coral reefs . The Belize Barrier Reef photographed from the International Space Station in 2016 The habitats supported by the reefs are critical to such tourist activities as fishing and diving , and provide an annual economic value to Caribbean nations of US $ 3.1 -- 4.6 billion . Continued destruction of the reefs could severely damage the region 's economy . A Protocol of the Convention for the Protection and Development of the Marine Environment of the Wider Caribbean Region came in effect in 1986 to protect the various endangered marine life of the Caribbean through forbidding human activities that would advance the continued destruction of such marine life in various areas . Currently this protocol has been ratified by 15 countries . Also , several charitable organisations have been formed to preserve the Caribbean marine life , such as Caribbean Conservation Corporation which seeks to study and protect sea turtles while educating others about them . Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve , Mexico In connection with the foregoing , the Institute of Marine Sciences and Limnology of the National Autonomous University of Mexico , conducted a regional study , funded by the Department of Technical Cooperation of the International Atomic Energy Agency , in which specialists from 11 Latin American countries ( Colombia , Costa Rica , Cuba , Guatemala , Haiti , Honduras , Mexico , Nicaragua , Panama , Dominican Republic , Venezuela plus Jamaica ) participated . The findings indicate that heavy metals such as mercury , arsenic , and lead , have been identified in the coastal zone of the Caribbean Sea . Analysis of toxic metals and hydrocarbons is based on the investigation of coastal sediments that have accumulated less than 50 meters deep during the last hundred and fifty years . The project results were presented in Vienna in the forum `` Water Matters '' , and the 2011 General Conference of said multilateral organization . Weather ( edit ) Average sea surface temperatures for the Caribbean Atlantic Ocean ( 25 -- 27 August 2005 ) . Hurricane Katrina is seen just above Cuba . The Caribbean weather is influenced by the Gulf Stream and Humboldt Current ocean currents . The tropical location of the sea helps the water to maintain a warm temperature ranging from the low of 21 -- 26 ° C ( 70 -- 79 ° F ) by the season . The Caribbean is a focal area for many hurricanes within the Western Hemisphere . A series of low pressure systems develop off the West coast of Africa and make their way across the Atlantic Ocean . While most of these systems do not become tropical storms , some do . The tropical storms can develop into Atlantic hurricanes , often in the low pressure areas of the eastern Caribbean . The Caribbean hurricane season as a whole lasts from June through November , with the majority of hurricanes occurring during August and September . On average around 9 tropical storms form each year , with 5 reaching hurricane strength . According to the National Hurricane Center 385 hurricanes occurred in the Caribbean between 1494 and 1900 . Every year hurricanes represent a potential threat to the islands of the Caribbean , due to the extremely destructive nature of these powerful weather systems . Coral reefs can easily be damaged by violent wave action , and can be destroyed when a hurricane dumps sand or mud onto a reef . When this happens , the coral organisms are smothered and the reef dies and ultimately breaks apart . Flora and fauna ( edit ) The region has a high level of biodiversity and many species are endemic to the Caribbean . Vegetation ( edit ) The vegetation of the region is mostly tropical but differences in topography , soil and climatic conditions increase species diversity . Where there are porous limestone terraced islands these are generally poor in nutrients . It is estimated that 13,000 species of plants grow in the Caribbean of which 6,500 are endemic . For example , guaiac wood ( Guaiacum officinale ) , the flower of which is the national flower of Jamaica and the Bayahibe rose ( Pereskia quisqueyana ) which is the national flower of the Dominican Republic and the ceiba which is the national tree of both Puerto Rico and Guatemala . The mahogany is the national tree of the Dominican Republic and Belize . The caimito ( Chrysophyllum cainito ) grows throughout the Caribbean . In coastal zones there are coconut palms and in lagoons and estuaries are found thick areas of black mangrove and red mangrove ( Rhizophora mangle ) . In shallow water flora and fauna is concentrated around coral reefs where there is little variation in water temperature , purity and salinity . Leeward side of lagoons provide areas of growth for sea grasses . Turtle grass ( Thalassia testudinum ) is common in the Caribbean as is manatee grass ( Syringodium filiforme ) which can grow together as well as in fields of single species at depths up to 20 m ( 66 ft ) . Another type shoal grass ( Halodule wrightii ) grows on sand and mud surfaces at depths of up to 5 m ( 16 ft ) . In brackish water of harbours and estuaries at depths less than 2.5 m ( 8 ft 2 in ) widgeongrass ( Ruppia maritima ) grows . Representatives of three species belonging to the genus Halophila , ( Halophila baillonii , Halophila engelmannii and Halophila decipiens ) are found at depths of up to 30 m ( 98 ft ) except for Halophila engelmani which does not grow below 5 m ( 16 ft ) and is confined to the Bahamas , Florida , the Greater Antilles and the western part of the Caribbean . Halophila baillonii has been found only in the Lesser Antilles . Fauna ( edit ) Puerto Rican parrot Green sea turtle , Grand Cayman Island Marine biota in the region have representatives of both the Indian and Pacific oceans which were caught in the Caribbean before the emergence of the Isthmus of Panama four million years ago . In the Caribbean Sea there are around 1,000 documented species of fish , including sharks ( bull shark , tiger shark , silky shark and Caribbean reef shark ) , flying fish , giant oceanic manta ray , angel fish , spotfin butterflyfish , parrotfish , Atlantic Goliath grouper , tarpon and moray eels . Throughout the Caribbean there is industrial catching of lobster and sardines ( off the coast of Yucatán Peninsula ) . There are 90 species of mammals in the Caribbean including sperm whales , humpback whales and dolphins . The island of Jamaica is home to seals and manatees . The Caribbean monk seal which lived in the Caribbean is considered extinct . The solenodon is endangered . There are 500 species of reptiles ( 94 % of which are endemic ) . Islands are inhabited by some endemic species such as rock iguanas and American crocodile . The blue iguana , endemic to the island of Grand Cayman , is endangered . The green iguana is invasive to Grand Cayman . The Mona ground iguana which inhabits the island of Mona , Puerto Rico , is endangered . The rhinoceros iguana from the island of Hispaniola which is shared between Haiti and the Dominican Republic is also endangered . The region has several types of sea turtle ( loggerhead , green turtle , hawksbill , leatherback turtle , Atlantic ridley and olive ridley ) . Some species are threatened with extinction . Their populations have been greatly reduced since the 17th century -- the number of green turtles has declined from 91 million to 300,000 and hawksbill turtles from 11 million to less than 30,000 by 2006 . All 170 species of amphibians that live in the region are endemic . The habitats of almost all members of the toad family , poison dart frogs , tree frogs and leptodactylidae ( a type of frog ) are limited to only one island . The Golden coqui is in serious threat of extinction . In the Caribbean 600 species of birds have been recorded of which 163 are endemic such as the tody , Fernandina 's flicker and palmchat . The American yellow warbler is found in many areas as is the green heron . Of the endemic species 48 are threatened with extinction including the Puerto Rican amazon , yellow - breasted crake and the Zapata wren . According to Birdlife International in 2006 in Cuba 29 species of bird are in danger of extinction and two species officially extinct . The black - fronted piping guan is endangered as is the plain pigeon . The Antilles along with Central America lie in the flight path of migrating birds from North America so the size of populations is subject to seasonal fluctuations . In the forests are found parrots , bananaquit and toucans . Over the open sea can be seen frigatebirds and tropicbirds . Economy and human activity ( edit ) A view of Nevis island from the southeastern peninsula of Saint Kitts . The Caribbean region has seen a significant increase in human activity since the colonization period . The sea is one of the largest oil production areas in the world , producing approximately 170 million tons per year . The area also generates a large fishing industry for the surrounding countries , accounting for 500,000 tonnes ( 490,000 long tons ; 550,000 short tons ) of fish a year . Human activity in the area also accounts for a significant amount of pollution , The Pan American Health Organization estimated in 1993 that only about 10 % of the sewage from the Central American and Caribbean Island countries is properly treated before being released into the sea . The Caribbean region supports a large tourism industry . The Caribbean Tourism Organization calculates that about 12 million people a year visit the area , including ( in 1991 -- 1992 ) about 8 million cruise ship tourists . Tourism based upon scuba diving and snorkeling on coral reefs of many Caribbean islands makes a major contribution to their economies .

They are friends with a local woman named Bea who spends her time painting pictures of the rabbits as well as the surrounding nature . Bea takes on a mother - like relationship with the rabbits due to the death of their mother and father . One day Peter is forced to leave his jacket in McGregor 's garden and goes back to retrieve it . McGregor spots and catches him , but suddenly dies of a heart attack , due to decades of unhealthy eating habits . Enthralled , Peter invites all of the woodland critters , and then takes over McGregor 's manor . Meanwhile in London , McGregor 's grandnephew Thomas McGregor , an uptight , controlling workaholic , works at the toy department of Harrods department store where he waits for a promotion to associate general manager . He indifferently accepts the news about his great - uncle 's death , someone he was completely unaware of , but is infuriated over losing the promotion to a lazy nephew of the managing director and is fired for losing his temper . His now former manager encourages him to to get a hobby and spend some time in the country . When Thomas learns that his great - uncle 's manor is valuable and that he 's inherited it , he decides to appraise and prepare it for resale in order to start his own toy store to rival Harrods . He kicks out Peter and his friends and begins to upgrade the security of the garden wall and gates , despite Bea 's objections . When Peter and Benjamin sneak back into the garden , Thomas catches the latter and attempts to drown Benjamin . His cousins rescue him ; Thomas instead accidentally drops the binoculars that Bea had given him earlier , forcing him into the river to retrieve it . Thomas and Peter start a war with each other by setting up traps and other offensive nuisances . Thomas and Bea end up falling in love with each other , which causes Peter to become jealous and wanting to separate them more . Thomas framed Peter for ruining Bea 's paintings and she sent Peter outside along with the other rabbits . Soon , Bea turns on Thomas when his violent tendencies begin to show . This all culminates when Thomas throws dynamite at Peter 's burrow , and uses it to attack Peter in the garden , before telling him that his antics caused him to become aggressive . When Peter detonates the dynamite to prove to Bea that Thomas was using it , he ends up knocking down the tree on top of the burrow , which crushes Bea 's art studio . Thinking that Thomas was responsible for the detonation , Bea breaks up with him , and he goes back to London to work at Harrods again . Peter feels bad for what he has done , and upon learning that Bea intends to leave the neighborhood , he and Benjamin head to London to find Thomas at Harrods . Revealing they can talk , Peter apologizes for his part of the conflict and convinces Thomas to follow his heart . They rush back to the country where Peter reveals that he had activated the detonator , and he and Thomas apologize to Bea for their fighting . Thomas discovers that he can not go home because a snobbish couple , whom Thomas had an ugly encounter with prior , had just bought the house . Peter and his friends use their tricks to force the couple out of the house , allowing Thomas to move back in . In a mid-credits scene , Thomas sets up his own toy shop in the village , and Bea begins to write and illustrate books based on Peter and his friends .

Release ( edit ) Peter Rabbit was originally scheduled to be released on March 23 , 2018 , but it was moved up to February 9 , 2018 . Trailer criticism ( edit ) The first trailer received negative feedback from critics and fans of the character , many of whom labelled the film as being too modern and insulting to Beatrix Potter 's works . Collider slammed the trailer as `` garbage '' and a `` low brow ' comedy ' cringe fest . '' Stuart Heritage from The Guardian stated that `` the Peter Rabbit film looks like the result of some blisteringly inept manhandling ( ... ) there 's something genuinely harrowing about the sight of Peter Rabbit -- gentle , Edwardian Peter Rabbit -- thoughtlessly injuring some birds , or grabbing a pile of lettuce leaves and making it rain like a banker in a strip club , or literally twerking '' and argued `` there is no way on Earth that ( Beatrix Potter would ) have ever given the green light to a slow motion car crash like this . '' Metro writer James Baldock found that the trailer was `` so gut wrenchingly bad '' and that `` if the movie lives up to its two minute preview -- ( it ) is set to be the greatest abomination to grace the big screen since The Emoji Movie . '' He finished by writing `` Listen carefully , and you can just about hear the sound of Beatrix Potter , turning furiously in her grave . '' On November 7 , a new trailer for the United Kingdom was released . Home Media ( edit ) The film was released on digital platforms on April 20 , 2018 . A Blu - ray and DVD and 4K followed on May 1 , 2018 . Reception ( edit ) Box office ( edit ) As of May 28 , 2018 , Peter Rabbit has grossed $341.6 million worldwide , $115.1 million of that in the United States and Canada , against a production budget of $50 million . In the United States and Canada , the film was released alongside Fifty Shades Freed and The 15 : 17 to Paris , and was projected to gross around $16 million from 3,725 theaters in its opening weekend , with some estimates as high as $25 million . It ended up making $25 million over the weekend , finishing second at the box office behind Fifty Shades ( $38.8 million ) . In the UK , Peter Rabbit became the biggest family film of 2018 , overtaking Pixar 's Coco with $56.3 million . Totals from other markets include China ( $26.5 million ) , Australia ( $20.2 million ) , France ( $12.3 million ) and Germany ( $12.1 million ) . Critical response ( edit ) On Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 62 % based on 125 reviews and an average rating of 5.8 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Peter Rabbit updates Beatrix Potter 's classic characters with colorfully agreeable results that should entertain younger viewers while admittedly risking the wrath of purists . '' On Metacritic , the film has a score of 51 out of 100 based on 26 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A − '' on an A+ to F scale . `` Allergy bullying '' controversy ( edit ) In the first week after the film 's release , groups in multiple countries criticized it for `` allergy bullying '' and called for an apology from Sony . The accusations focused on a scene where Thomas McGregor -- whose character has a known severe allergy to blackberries -- is pelted with the berries until one enters his mouth , causing him to enter anaphylactic shock and grab for his Epipen . In response , Sony published a statement saying `` We sincerely regret not being more aware and sensitive to this issue , and we truly apologise '' .

Double-precision floating-point format
Double - precision floating - point format - wikipedia Double - precision floating - point format Jump to : navigation , search Double - precision floating - point format is a computer number format that occupies 8 bytes ( 64 bits ) in computer memory and represents a wide , dynamic range of values by using a floating point . Double - precision floating - point format usually refers to binary64 , as specified by the IEEE 754 standard , not to the 64 - bit decimal format decimal64 . In older computers , different floating - point formats of 8 bytes were used , e.g. , GW - BASIC 's double - precision data type was the 64 - bit MBF floating - point format . Floating point precisions IEEE 754 16 - bit : Half ( binary16 ) 32 - bit : Single ( binary32 ) , decimal32 64 - bit : Double ( binary64 ) , decimal64 128 - bit : Quadruple ( binary128 ) , decimal128 256 - bit : Octuple ( binary256 ) Extended precision formats ( 40 - bit or 80 - bit ) Other Minifloat Microsoft Binary Format IBM Floating Point Architecture Arbitrary precision Contents ( hide ) 1 IEEE 754 double - precision binary floating - point format : binary64 1.1 Exponent encoding 1.2 Endianness 1.3 Double - precision examples 1.4 Execution speed with double - precision arithmetic 2 Implementations 2.1 C and C++ 2.2 Common Lisp 2.3 JavaScript 2.4 Lua 3 See also 4 Notes and references IEEE 754 double - precision binary floating - point format : binary64 ( edit ) Double - precision binary floating - point is a commonly used format on PCs , due to its wider range over single - precision floating point , in spite of its performance and bandwidth cost . As with single - precision floating - point format , it lacks precision on integer numbers when compared with an integer format of the same size . It is commonly known simply as double . The IEEE 754 standard specifies a binary64 as having : Sign bit : 1 bit Exponent : 11 bits Significand precision : 53 bits ( 52 explicitly stored ) This gives from 15 to 17 significant decimal digits precision . If a decimal string with at most 15 significant digits is converted to IEEE 754 double - precision representation , and then converted back to a decimal string with the same number of digits , the final result should match the original string . If an IEEE 754 double - precision number is converted to a decimal string with at least 17 significant digits , and then converted back to double - precision representation , the final result must match the original number . The format is written with the significand having an implicit integer bit of value 1 ( except for special data , see the exponent encoding below ) . With the 52 bits of the fraction significand appearing in the memory format , the total precision is therefore 53 bits ( approximately 16 decimal digits , 53 log ( 2 ) ≈ 15.955 ) . The bits are laid out as follows : The real value assumed by a given 64 - bit double - precision datum with a given biased exponent e ( \ displaystyle e ) and a 52 - bit fraction is ( − 1 ) sign ( 1 . b 51 b 50 ... b 0 ) 2 × 2 e − 1023 ( \ displaystyle ( - 1 ) ^ ( \ text ( sign ) ) ( 1. b_ ( 51 ) b_ ( 50 ) ... b_ ( 0 ) ) _ ( 2 ) \ times 2 ^ ( e-1023 ) ) or ( − 1 ) sign ( 1 + ∑ i = 1 52 b 52 − i 2 − i ) × 2 e − 1023 ( \ displaystyle ( - 1 ) ^ ( \ text ( sign ) ) \ left ( 1 + \ sum _ ( i = 1 ) ^ ( 52 ) b_ ( 52 - i ) 2 ^ ( - i ) \ right ) \ times 2 ^ ( e-1023 ) ) Between 2 = 4,503,599,627,370,496 and 2 = 9,007,199,254,740,992 the representable numbers are exactly the integers . For the next range , from 2 to 2 , everything is multiplied by 2 , so the representable numbers are the even ones , etc . Conversely , for the previous range from 2 to 2 , the spacing is 0.5 , etc . The spacing as a fraction of the numbers in the range from 2 to 2 is 2 . The maximum relative rounding error when rounding a number to the nearest representable one ( the machine epsilon ) is therefore 2 . The 11 bit width of the exponent allows the representation of numbers between 10 and 10 , with full 15 -- 17 decimal digits precision . By compromising precision , the subnormal representation allows even smaller values up to about 5 × 10 . Exponent encoding ( edit ) The double - precision binary floating - point exponent is encoded using an offset - binary representation , with the zero offset being 1023 ; also known as exponent bias in the IEEE 754 standard . Examples of such representations would be : e = 00000000001 = 001 = 1 : 2 1 − 1023 = 2 − 1022 ( \ displaystyle 2 ^ ( 1 - 1023 ) = 2 ^ ( - 1022 ) ) ( smallest exponent for normal numbers ) e = 10000000101 = 405 = 1029 : 2 1029 − 1023 = 2 6 ( \ displaystyle 2 ^ ( 1029 - 1023 ) = 2 ^ ( 6 ) ) e = 11111111110 = 7fe = 2046 : 2 2046 − 1023 = 2 1023 ( \ displaystyle 2 ^ ( 2046 - 1023 ) = 2 ^ ( 1023 ) ) ( highest exponent ) The exponents 000 and 7ff have a special meaning : 00000000000 = 000 is used to represent a signed zero ( if F = 0 ) and subnormals ( if F ≠ 0 ) ; and 11111111111 = 7ff is used to represent ∞ ( if F = 0 ) and NaNs ( if F ≠ 0 ) , where F is the fractional part of the significand . All bit patterns are valid encoding . Except for the above exceptions , the entire double - precision number is described by : ( − 1 ) sign × 2 e − 1023 × 1 . fraction ( \ displaystyle ( - 1 ) ^ ( \ text ( sign ) ) \ times 2 ^ ( e-1023 ) \ times 1. ( \ text ( fraction ) ) ) In the case of subnormals ( e = 0 ) the double - precision number is described by : ( − 1 ) sign × 2 1 − 1023 × 0 . fraction = ( − 1 ) sign × 2 − 1022 × 0 . fraction ( \ displaystyle ( - 1 ) ^ ( \ text ( sign ) ) \ times 2 ^ ( 1 - 1023 ) \ times 0. ( \ text ( fraction ) ) = ( - 1 ) ^ ( \ text ( sign ) ) \ times 2 ^ ( - 1022 ) \ times 0. ( \ text ( fraction ) ) ) Endianness ( edit ) This section is transcluded from Endianness . ( edit history ) Although the ubiquitous x86 processors of today use little - endian storage for all types of data ( integer , floating point , BCD ) , there are a few historical machines where floating - point numbers are represented in big - endian form while integers are represented in little - endian form . There are old ARM processors that have half little - endian , half big - endian floating - point representation for double - precision numbers : both 32 - bit words are stored in little - endian like integer registers , but the most significant one first . Because there have been many floating - point formats with no `` network '' standard representation for them , the XDR standard uses big - endian IEEE 754 as its representation . It may therefore appear strange that the widespread IEEE 754 floating - point standard does not specify endianness . Theoretically , this means that even standard IEEE floating - point data written by one machine might not be readable by another . However , on modern standard computers ( i.e. , implementing IEEE 754 ) , one may in practice safely assume that the endianness is the same for floating - point numbers as for integers , making the conversion straightforward regardless of data type . ( Small embedded systems using special floating - point formats may be another matter however . ) Double - precision examples ( edit ) 0 01111111111 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ≙ + 2 1 = 1 0 01111111111 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 ≙ + 2 ( 1 + 2 ) ≈ 1.0000000000000002 , the smallest number > 1 0 01111111111 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000010 ≙ + 2 ( 1 + 2 ) ≈ 1.0000000000000004 0 10000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ≙ + 2 1 = 2 1 10000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ≙ − 2 1 = − 2 0 10000000000 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ≙ + 2 1.1 = 11 = 3 0 10000000001 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ≙ + 2 1 = 100 = 4 0 10000000001 0100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ≙ + 2 1.01 = 101 = 5 0 10000000001 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ≙ + 2 1.1 = 110 = 6 0 10000000011 0111000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ≙ + 2 1.0111 = 10111 = 23 0 00000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 ≙ + 2 2 = 2 ≈ 4.9 10 ( Min . subnormal positive double ) 0 00000000000 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 ≙ + 2 ( 1 − 2 ) ≈ 2.2250738585072009 10 ( Max . subnormal double ) 0 00000000001 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ≙ + 2 1 ≈ 2.2250738585072014 10 ( Min . normal positive double ) 0 11111111110 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 ≙ + 2 ( 1 + ( 1 − 2 ) ) ≈ 1.7976931348623157 10 ( Max .

One area of computing where this is a particular issue is for parallel code running on GPUs . For example , when using NVIDIA 's CUDA platform , on video cards designed for gaming , calculations with double precision take 3 to 24 times longer to complete than calculations using single precision . Implementations ( edit ) Doubles are implemented in many programming languages in different ways such as the following . On processors with only dynamic precision , such as x86 without SSE2 ( or when SSE2 is not used , for compatibility purpose ) and with extended precision used by default , software may have difficulties to fulfill some requirements . C and C++ ( edit ) C and C++ offer a wide variety of arithmetic types . Double precision is not required by the standards ( except by the optional annex F of C99 , covering IEEE 754 arithmetic ) , but on most systems , the double type corresponds to double precision . However , on 32 - bit x86 with extended precision by default , some compilers may not conform to the C standard and / or the arithmetic may suffer from double - rounding issues . Common Lisp ( edit ) Common Lisp provides the types SHORT - FLOAT , SINGLE - FLOAT , DOUBLE - FLOAT and LONG - FLOAT . Most implementations provide SINGLE - FLOATs and DOUBLE - FLOATs with the other types appropriate synonyms . Common Lisp provides exceptions for catching floating - point underflows and overflows , and the inexact floating - point exception , as per IEEE 754 . No infinities and NaNs are described in the ANSI standard , however , several implementations do provide these as extensions . JavaScript ( edit ) As specified by the ECMAScript standard , all arithmetic in JavaScript shall be done using double - precision floating - point arithmetic . Lua ( edit ) In Lua version 5.2 and earlier , all arithmetic is done using double - precision floating - point arithmetic ( explicit support for single - precision was added in version 5.3 ) . Also , automatic type conversions between doubles and strings are provided ( and also between floating - point values and integers since version 5.3 ) .

what is the default type for a floating point constant
[ "Double-precision floating-point format usually refers to binary64, as specified by the IEEE 754 standard, not to the 64-bit decimal format decimal64. In older computers, different floating-point formats of 8 bytes were used, e.g., GW-BASIC's double-precision data type was the 64-bit MBF floating-point format." ]

FIFA World Cup top goalscorers
FIFA World Cup top goalscorers - wikipedia FIFA World Cup top goalscorers Miroslav Klose celebrating his record - breaking 16th World Cup goal More than 2,500 goals have been scored at the 21 editions of the FIFA World Cup final tournaments , not counting penalties scored during shoot - outs . Since the first goal scored by French player Lucien Laurent at the 1930 FIFA World Cup , more than 1,250 footballers have scored goals at the World Cup , of which just 97 have scored at least five . Number of goalscorers Goals ≥ 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 Total No players 7 6 9 7 8 26 34 > 50 > 90 > 200 > 750 > 1,250 Ronaldo is the player with the second most goals , scoring 15 . The top goalscorer of the inaugural competition was Argentina 's Guillermo Stábile with eight goals . Since then , only 22 players have scored more at all the games played at the World Cup than Stábile did throughout the 1930 tournament . The first was Hungary 's Sándor Kocsis with eleven in 1954 . At the next tournament , France 's Just Fontaine improved on this record with 13 goals in only six games . Gerd Müller scored 10 for West Germany in 1970 and broke the overall record when he scored his 14th goal at the World Cup during West Germany 's win at the 1974 final . His record stood for more than three decades until Ronaldo 's 15 goals between 1998 and 2006 for Brazil . Germany 's Miroslav Klose went on to score a record 16 goals across four consecutive tournaments between 2002 and 2014 . Only two other players have surpassed 10 goals at the World Cup : Pelé with 12 between 1958 and 1970 for Brazil , and Jürgen Klinsmann with 11 between 1990 and 1998 for Germany . Of all the players who have played at the World Cup , only six have scored , on average , at least two goals per game played : Kocsis , Fontaine , Stábile , Russia 's Oleg Salenko , Switzerland 's Josef Hügi , and Poland 's Ernst Wilimowski -- the latter scored four in his single World Cup game in 1938 . The top 97 goalscorers have represented 28 nations , with 14 players scoring for Brazil , and another 14 for Germany or West Germany . In total , 64 footballers came from UEFA ( Europe ) , 29 from CONMEBOL ( South America ) , and only four from elsewhere : Cameroon , Ghana , Australia , and the United States . Fontaine holds the record for the most goals scored at a single tournament , with 13 goals in 1958 . The players that came closest to this record were Kocsis in 1954 , Müller in 1970 and Portugal 's Eusébio in 1966 , with 11 , 10 and 9 , respectively . The lowest scoring tournament 's top scorer was in 1962 , when six players tied at only four goals each . Across the 21 editions of the World Cup , 30 footballers have been credited with the most tournament goals , and no one has achieved this feat twice . Nine of them scored at least seven goals in a tournament , while Brazil 's Jairzinho became the only footballer to score at least seven goals without being the top goalscorer of that tournament in 1970 . These 30 top goalscorers played for 19 nations , the most ( five ) for Brazil . Another five came from other South American countries , with the remaining 20 coming from Europe . Excluding the 2010 edition , all the top tournament scorers won the Golden Boot .

who holds the record for the most goals scored in the world cup
[ "The top goalscorer of the inaugural competition was Argentina's Guillermo Stábile with eight goals. Since then, only 22 players have scored more at all the games played at the World Cup than Stábile did throughout the 1930 tournament. The first was Hungary's Sándor Kocsis with eleven in 1954. At the next tournament, France's Just Fontaine improved on this record with 13 goals in only six games. Gerd Müller scored 10 for West Germany in 1970 and broke the overall record when he scored his 14th goal at the World Cup during West Germany's win at the 1974 final. His record stood for more than three decades until Ronaldo's 15 goals between 1998 and 2006 for Brazil. Germany's Miroslav Klose went on to score a record 16 goals across four consecutive tournaments between 2002 and 2014. Only two other players have surpassed 10 goals at the World Cup: Pelé with 12 between 1958 and 1970 for Brazil, and Jürgen Klinsmann with 11 between 1990 and 1998 for Germany.\n" ]

Barnum and his troupe perform a show at the circus ( `` The Greatest Show '' ) . In a flashback to Barnum 's childhood where he and his father Philo , a tailor , work for the Hallett family , he becomes infatuated with their daughter , Charity . Though Charity is being sent to finishing school , Barnum reassures her they will not be separated . The two keep in touch through letters until they meet again in adulthood ( `` A Million Dreams '' ) , eventually marrying and raising two daughters , Caroline and Helen , in New York City ( `` A Million Dreams '' reprise ) . They live a humble life ; though Charity is happy , Barnum dreams of more . Barnum loses his job as a clerk at a shipping company after the company goes bankrupt . Taking a risky bet , he takes out a large loan from a bank , deceiving the bank into accepting his former employer 's lost ships as collateral . He uses this loan to buy Barnum 's American Museum in downtown Manhattan , an attraction showcasing various wax models . Initially , sales are slow ; on the suggestion of his children to showcase something `` alive '' , Barnum searches for `` freaks '' to serve as performers for his museum ( `` Come Alive '' ) . This attracts a large audience despite protests and poor reviews , prompting Barnum to rename his venture `` Barnum 's Circus '' . Searching for ways to further his reputation amongst the upper class , Barnum meets playwright Phillip Carlyle and convinces him to join his venture ( `` The Other Side '' ) . Carlyle is enchanted with Anne Wheeler , an African - American trapeze artist , but he hides his feelings . During a trip Carlyle arranged for Barnum and his troupe to meet Queen Victoria , Barnum meets Jenny Lind , a famed Swedish singer , whom he convinces to perform in America , with him serving as her manager . Lind 's first American performance is a rousing success ( `` Never Enough '' ) . While Barnum gains favor with the aristocratic patrons , he begins to distance himself from his original troupe , refusing to socialize with them . Dejected , they decide to stand against their local harassers ( `` This Is Me '' ) . Carlyle and Wheeler attend the theatre together one night , only to run into Carlyle 's parents , who insult Wheeler 's lowly status , causing her to leave . Carlyle chases her and tries to convince her that they can be together , but she rejects him despite her feelings towards him ( `` Rewrite the Stars '' ) . As Barnum takes Lind on a US tour , Charity feels isolated from her husband as she stays home with their daughters ( `` Tightrope '' ) . While on tour , Lind begins falling in love with Barnum , but when he refuses her advances , she calls off the tour and kisses him at the end of her last show , which is photographed by the press ( `` Never Enough '' reprise ) . Barnum returns home to find his circus on fire , caused by a fight between the protesters and the troupe . Carlyle , who had tried to save Anne not knowing she had already escaped , is rescued by Barnum amid the chaos but suffers severe burns . Most of the sets and props are destroyed . Word of Lind 's cancellation and Barnum 's public intimacy also reaches New York , resulting in his mansion being foreclosed upon and Charity taking Caroline and Helen to her parents ' home . Depressed , Barnum retreats to a local pub , where his troupe find him there and explain that their own mothers were ashamed of them , and how unimpressed they are with him for giving up on them too , thinking that maybe he is a fraud , which causes him to realize the circus was for his friends and family rather than for himself . Meanwhile , the injured Carlyle wakes in a hospital with Wheeler by his side and they share a kiss ( `` From Now On '' ) . Barnum leaves and finds his estranged wife , and they decide to mend their relationship . Faced with the financial difficulty of rebuilding the circus , the recovering Carlyle steps in , offering to use his earnings from his share of the circus 's profits to rebuild it under the condition of becoming partners , which Barnum happily accepts . As rebuilding the circus in its original location would be too expensive , Barnum rebuilds it as an open - air tent circus by the docks . The revamped circus is a huge success , and Barnum gives full control of the show to Carlyle so he can focus on his family ( `` The Greatest Show '' reprise ) . Cast ( edit ) Hugh Jackman as P.T.

Critical response ( edit ) On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 56 % based on 207 reviews , and an average rating of 6 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` The Greatest Showman tries hard to dazzle the audience with a Barnum - style sense of wonder -- but at the expense of its complex subject 's far more intriguing real - life story . '' On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 48 out of 100 , based on 43 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale , while it earned a 70 % `` definite recommend '' from comScore . Owen Gleiberman of Variety gave the film a positive review , writing , `` The Greatest Showman is a concoction , the kind of film where all the pieces click into place , yet at an hour and 45 minutes it flies by , and the link it draws between P.T. Barnum and the spirit of today is more than hype . '' Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film 3 / 4 stars , saying , `` With all that corn and cheese and old - timey sentiment , The Greatest Showman ends up scoring some very timely social arguments . P.T. Barnum himself would have approved the dramatic sleight of hand . '' Steve Persall of Tampa Bay Times gave the film an ' A ' , and said , `` The Greatest Showman is the feel - good movie the holiday season needs , '' while William Bibbiani of IGN gave The Greatest Showman a score of 7.9 / 10 , and called the film , `` wildly entertaining . '' Britton Peele of The Dallas Morning News said , `` The story is interesting and the beats are well - acted , but it 's the musical numbers that make The Greatest Showman . '' Jackie K Cooper of HuffPost gave the film a score of 10 / 10 and wrote , `` You will be overwhelmed by the music and magic that explode on the screen . The film has a message that should resonate with today 's world concerning acceptance and courage . '' Hugh Armitage of Digital Spy said , `` The Greatest Showman is a broad and solid crowd - pleaser . An undemanding spectacle for all the family . '' Alan Jones of Radio Times called it `` A joyously uplifting potpourii of visual resplendence , stylish choreography and solid gold magic , one engineered to approximate the lavish spectacle the movie musical once offered . '' Sheila O'Malley of RogerEbert.com gave it 3.5 / 4 , stating `` The Greatest Showman is an unabashed piece of pure entertainment punctuated by memorable songs . '' Douglas Davidson of CLTure called the film , `` An undeniable spectacle with a infectious soundtrack , a movie that dazzles and delights . '' James Berardinelli of ReelViews gave the film a 3 / 4 score , and said , `` The film has show - stopping well - choreographed numbers with catchy tunes , '' and Calvin Wilson of St. Louis Post-Dispatch called the film `` highly enjoyable . '' Carl Kozlowski of Pasadena Weekly gave the film an ' A ' , calling it `` Groundbreaking & grandly innovative . '' Sean P. Means of The Salt Lake Tribune gave The Greatest Showman 3.5 / 4 stars , stating , `` A strong cast give emotional power to this romanticized , tune - filled biography . '' Manuela Lazic of Little White Lies gave it 4 / 5 , saying , `` The Greatest Showman deserves to become a Christmas classic . The film 's severe romanticism and ridiculous but affecting enthusiasm make it irresistibly life - affirming . '' Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood gave the film 4 out of 5 stars and called it , `` A fantasia of song and dance , a joyous exercise in pure entertainment that is made for the holiday crowd . '' Conversely , Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film a negative review , criticizing the songs and characters and saying `` There 's idiotic , and there 's magnificent , but The Greatest Showman is that special thing that happens sometimes . It 's magnificently idiotic . It 's an awful mess , but it 's flashy . The temptation is to cover your face and watch it through your fingers , because it 's so earnest and embarrassing and misguided -- and yet it 's well - made . '' In a negative review for The Hollywood Reporter , David Rooney wrote `` This ersatz portrait of American big - top tent impresario P.T. Barnum is all smoke and mirrors , no substance . It hammers pedestrian themes of family , friendship and inclusivity while neglecting the fundaments of character and story . '' Writing for Rolling Stone , Peter Travers gave the film 1.5 out of 4 stars , saying , `` How do you cast a virtuoso Hugh Jackman as P.T. Barnum , spare no expense in production values , add a score by Oscar and Tony winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and still end up with the shrill blast of nothing that is The Greatest Showman ? Ask first - time director Michael Gracey , who cut his teeth on commercials and music videos without ever mastering the crucial knack of building snippets of musical comedy and drama into a satisfying whole . '' Justin Chang of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the film 's failures `` are rooted in something deeper : a dispiriting lack of faith in the audience 's intelligence , and a dawning awareness of its own aesthetic hypocrisy . You 've rarely seen a more straight - laced musical about the joys of letting your freak flag fly .

Simply told and heartfelt , the show should add a welcome dimension to the education process , capturing the challenges associated with sexual identity at such a vulnerable age . '' James Poniewozik , in his review for Time magazine , stated that the reality show airing on the same network that recently pulled 19 Kids and Counting off the air feels like a `` change of an era . '' Poniewozik writes , `` I Am Jazz is an engaging story of a teen girl who has transitioned . But it is also the story of everyone else , transitioning . '' Marc Silver of The Washington Post wrote about the boom of transgender - theme shows on TV , including Jenner 's upcoming reality show , I Am Cait : `` I Am Cait will surely attract more viewers because of Jenner 's fame . It 's too soon to say how Jazz will fare . But , with her humor and honesty , she 's a tough act for Caitlyn Jenner to follow . '' Awards The show tied for best Outstanding Reality Program at the 27th annual GLAAD Media Awards . Broadcast Internationally , the series premiered in Australia on TLC on December 10 , 2015 .

These types of contracts fall into the category of derivatives . The opposite of the futures market is the spots market , where trades will occur immediately ( 2 business days ) after a transaction agreement has been made , rather than at a predetermined time in the future . Futures instruments are priced according to the movement of the underlying asset ( stock , physical commodity , index , etc . ) . The aforementioned category is named `` derivatives '' because the value of these instruments are derived from another asset class .

Speculators absorb some of the risk but hedging appears to drive most commodity markets . The equilibrium futures price can be either below or above the ( rationally ) expected future price ( backwardation or contango ) ... Rollover hedges can extend insurance from short - horizon contracts over longer periods . '' History ( edit ) Ancient times ( edit ) In Ancient Mesopotamia , around 1750 BC , the sixth Babylonian king , Hammurabi , created one of the first legal codes : the Code of Hammurabi . Hammurabi 's Code allowed sales of goods and assets to be delivered for an agreed price , at a future date ; required contracts to be in writing and witnessed ; and allowed assignment of contracts . The code facilitated the first derivatives , in the form of forward and futures contracts . An active derivatives market existed , with trading carried out at temples . One of the earliest written records of futures trading is in Aristotle 's Politics . He tells the story of Thales , a poor philosopher from Miletus who developed a `` financial device , which involves a principle of universal application '' . Thales used his skill in forecasting and predicted that the olive harvest would be exceptionally good the next autumn . Confident in his prediction , he made agreements with local olive - press owners to deposit his money with them to guarantee him exclusive use of their olive presses when the harvest was ready . Thales successfully negotiated low prices because the harvest was in the future and no one knew whether the harvest would be plentiful or pathetic and because the olive - press owners were willing to hedge against the possibility of a poor yield . When the harvest - time came , and a sharp increase in demand for the use of the olive presses outstripped supply ( availability of the presses ) , he sold his future use contracts of the olive presses at a rate of his choosing , and made a large quantity of money . It should be noted , however , that this is a very loose example of futures trading and , in fact , more closely resembles an option contract , given that Thales was not obliged to use the olive presses if the yield was poor . Modern era ( edit ) The first modern organized futures exchange began in 1710 at the Dojima Rice Exchange in Osaka , Japan . The London Metal Market and Exchange Company ( London Metal Exchange ) was founded in 1877 , but the market traces its origins back to 1571 and the opening of the Royal Exchange , London . Before the exchange was created , business was conducted by traders in London coffee houses using a makeshift ring drawn in chalk on the floor . At first only copper was traded . Lead and zinc were soon added but only gained official trading status in 1920 . The exchange was closed during World War II and did not re-open until 1952 . The range of metals traded was extended to include aluminium ( 1978 ) , nickel ( 1979 ) , tin ( 1989 ) , aluminium alloy ( 1992 ) , steel ( 2008 ) , and minor metals cobalt and molybdenum ( 2010 ) . The exchange ceased trading plastics in 2011 . The total value of the trade is around $ US 11.6 trillion annually . The United States followed in the early 19th century . Chicago has the largest future exchange in the world , the Chicago Mercantile Exchange . Chicago is located at the base of the Great Lakes , close to the farmlands and cattle country of the Midwest , making it a natural center for transportation , distribution , and trading of agricultural produce . Gluts and shortages of these products caused chaotic fluctuations in price , and this led to the development of a market enabling grain merchants , processors , and agriculture companies to trade in `` to arrive '' or `` cash forward '' contracts to insulate them from the risk of adverse price change and enable them to hedge . In March 2008 the Chicago Mercantile Exchange announced its acquisition of NYMEX Holdings , Inc. , the parent company of the New York Mercantile Exchange and Commodity Exchange . CME 's acquisition of NYMEX was completed in August 2008 . For most exchanges , forward contracts were standard at the time . However , most forward contracts were not honored by both the buyer and the seller . For instance , if the buyer of a corn forward contract made an agreement to buy corn , and at the time of delivery the price of corn differed dramatically from the original contract price , either the buyer or the seller would back out . Additionally , the forward contracts market was very illiquid and an exchange was needed that would bring together a market to find potential buyers and sellers of a commodity instead of making people bear the burden of finding a buyer or seller . In 1848 the Chicago Board of Trade ( CBOT ) was formed . Trading was originally in forward contracts ; the first contract ( on corn ) was written on March 13 , 1851 . In 1865 standardized futures contracts were introduced . The Chicago Produce Exchange was established in 1874 , renamed the Chicago Butter and Egg Board in 1898 and then reorganised into the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ( CME ) in 1919 . Following the end of the postwar international gold standard , in 1972 the CME formed a division called the International Monetary Market ( IMM ) to offer futures contracts in foreign currencies : British pound , Canadian dollar , German mark , Japanese yen , Mexican peso , and Swiss franc . In 1881 a regional market was founded in Minneapolis , Minnesota , and in 1883 introduced futures for the first time . Trading continuously since then , today the Minneapolis Grain Exchange ( MGEX ) is the only exchange for hard red spring wheat futures and options . Futures trading used to be very active in India in the early to late 19th Century in the Marwari businessmen community . Several business families made their fortunes in regular Opium futures trading in Calcutta and Bombay . There are records available of standardized Opium futures contracts done in 1870 - 1880 's in Calcutta . There are strong grounds to believe that Commodity futures could have existed in India for thousands of years before that with references to the existence of market operations similar to the modern day Futures market in Kautilya 's ' Arthashastra '' written in 2nd century BCE . The first organised futures market was established only in 1875 by the Bombay Cotton Trade Association to trade in cotton contracts . This occurred soon after the establishment of trading in Cotton Futures in UK , as Bombay was a very important hub for Cotton Trade in the British Empire . Futures trading in Raw Jute and Jute Goods began in Calcutta with the establishment of the Calcutta Hessian Exchange Ltd. , in 1919 . In modern times , most of the futures trading happens in the National Multi commodity Exchange ( NMCE ) which commenced futures trading in 24 commodities on 26 November 2002 on a national scale . Currently ( August 2007 ) 62 commodities are being traded in NMCE . Recent developments ( edit ) The 1970s saw the development of the financial futures contracts , which allowed trading in the future value of interest rates . These ( in particular the 90 ‐ day Eurodollar contract introduced in 1981 ) had an enormous impact on the development of the interest rate swap market . Today , the futures markets have far outgrown their agricultural origins . With the addition of the New York Mercantile Exchange ( NYMEX ) the trading and hedging of financial products using futures dwarfs the traditional commodity markets , and plays a major role in the global financial system , trading over $1.5 trillion per day in 2005 . The recent history of these exchanges ( Aug 2006 ) finds the Chicago Mercantile Exchange trading more than 70 % of its Futures contracts on its `` Globex '' trading platform and this trend is rising daily . It counts for over $45.5 billion of nominal trade ( over 1 million contracts ) every single day in `` electronic trading '' as opposed to open outcry trading of futures , options and derivatives . In June 2001 Intercontinental Exchange ( ICE ) acquired the International Petroleum Exchange ( IPE ) , now ICE Futures , which operated Europe 's leading open - outcry energy futures exchange . Since 2003 ICE has partnered with the Chicago Climate Exchange ( CCX ) to host its electronic marketplace . In April 2005 the entire ICE portfolio of energy futures became fully electronic . In 2005 , The Africa Mercantile Exchange ( AfMX ® ) became the first African commodities market to implement an automated system for the dissemination of market data and information online in real - time through a wide network of computer terminals . As at the end of 2007 , AfMX ® had developed a system of secure data storage providing online services for brokerage firms . The year 2010 , saw the exchange unveil a novel system of electronic trading , known as After ® . After ® extends the potential volume of processing of information and allows the Exchange to increase its overall volume of trading activities . In 2006 the New York Stock Exchange teamed up with the Amsterdam - Brussels - Lisbon - Paris Exchanges `` Euronext '' electronic exchange to form the first transcontinental futures and options exchange . These two developments as well as the sharp growth of internet futures trading platforms developed by a number of trading companies clearly points to a race to total internet trading of futures and options in the coming years . In terms of trading volume , the National Stock Exchange of India in Mumbai is the largest stock futures trading exchange in the world , followed by JSE Limited in Sandton , Gauteng , South Africa . Nature of contracts ( edit ) For more details on this topic , see Futures contract . Exchange - traded contracts are standardized by the exchanges where they trade . The contract details what asset is to be bought or sold , and how , when , where and in what quantity it is to be delivered . The terms also specify the currency in which the contract will trade , minimum tick value , and the last trading day and expiry or delivery month . Standardized commodity futures contracts may also contain provisions for adjusting the contracted price based on deviations from the `` standard '' commodity , for example , a contract might specify delivery of heavier USDA Number 1 oats at par value but permit delivery of Number 2 oats for a certain seller 's penalty per bushel . Before the market opens on the first day of trading a new futures contract , there is a specification but no actual contracts exist . Futures contracts are not issued like other securities , but are `` created '' whenever Open interest increases ; that is , when one party first buys ( goes long ) a contract from another party ( who goes short ) . Contracts are also `` destroyed '' in the opposite manner whenever Open interest decreases because traders resell to reduce their long positions or rebuy to reduce their short positions . Speculators on futures price fluctuations who do not intend to make or take ultimate delivery must take care to `` zero their positions '' prior to the contract 's expiry . After expiry , each contract will be settled , either by physical delivery ( typically for commodity underlyings ) or by a cash settlement ( typically for financial underlyings ) . The contracts ultimately are not between the original buyer and the original seller , but between the holders at expiry and the exchange . Because a contract may pass through many hands after it is created by its initial purchase and sale , or even be liquidated , settling parties do not know with whom they have ultimately traded . Compare this with other securities , in which there is a primary market when an issuer issues the security , and a secondary market where the security is later traded independently of the issuer . Legally , the security represents an obligation of the issuer rather than the buyer and seller ; even if the issuer buys back some securities , they still exist . Only if they are legally cancelled can they disappear . Standardization ( edit ) The contracts traded on futures exchanges are always standardized . In principle , the parameters to define a contract are endless ( see for instance in futures contract ) . To make sure liquidity is high , there is only a limited number of standardized contracts . Clearing and settlement ( edit ) Most large derivatives exchanges operate their own clearing houses , allowing them to take revenues from post-trade processing as well as trading itself . By netting off the different positions traded , a smaller amount of capital is required as security to cover the trades . Of the big derivatives venues Chicago Mercantile Exchange , ICE and Eurex all clear trades themselves . There is sometimes a division of responsibility between provision of trading facility , and that of clearing and settlement of those trades . Derivative exchanges like the CBOE and LIFFE take responsibility for providing the trading environments , settlement of the resulting trades are usually handled by clearing houses that serve as central counterparties to trades done in the respective exchanges . The Options Clearing Corporation ( OCC ) and LCH. Clearnet ( London Clearing House ) respectively are the clearing corporations for CBOE and LIFFE , although LIFFE and parent NYSE Euronext has long stated its desire to develop its own clearing service . Central counterparty ( edit ) Derivative contracts are leveraged positions whose value is volatile . They are usually more volatile than their underlying asset . This can lead to credit risk , in particular counterparty risk : a situation in which one party to a trade loses such a large sum of money that it is unable to honor its settlement obligation . In a safe trading environment , the parties to a trade need to be assured that the counterparties will honor the trade , no matter how the market has moved . This requirement can lead to complex arrangements like credit assessments and the setting of trading limits for each counterparty , thus removing many of the advantages of a centralised trading facility . To prevent this , a clearing house interposes itself as a counterparty to every trade , in order to extend a guarantee that the trade will be settled as originally intended . This action is called novation . As a result , trading firms take no risk on the actual counterparty to the trade , but instead the risk falls on the clearing corporation performing a service called central counterparty clearing . The clearing corporation is able to take on this risk by adopting an efficient margining process . Margin and Mark - to - market ( edit ) A margin is collateral that the holder of a financial instrument has to deposit to cover some or all of the credit risk of their counterparty , in this case the central counterparty clearing houses . Clearing houses charge two types of margins : the Initial Margin and the Mark - To - Market margin ( also referred to as Variation Margin ) . The Initial Margin is the sum of money ( or collateral ) to be deposited by a firm to the clearing corporation to cover possible future loss in the positions ( the set of positions held is also called the portfolio ) held by a firm . Several popular methods are used to compute initial margins . They include the CME - owned SPAN ( a grid simulation method used by the CME and about 70 other exchanges ) , STANS ( a Monte Carlo simulation based methodology used by the OCC ) , TIMS ( earlier used by the OCC , and still being used by a few other exchanges ) . The Mark - to - Market Margin ( MTM margin ) on the other hand is the margin collected to offset losses ( if any ) that have already been incurred on the positions held by a firm . This is computed as the difference between the cost of the position held and the current market value of that position . If the resulting amount is a loss , the amount is collected from the firm ; else , the amount may be returned to the firm ( the case with most clearing houses ) or kept in reserve depending on local practice . In either case , the positions are ' marked - to - market ' by setting their new cost to the market value used in computing this difference . The positions held by the clients of the exchange are marked - to - market daily and the MTM difference computation for the next day would use the new cost figure in its calculation . Clients hold a margin account with the exchange , and every day the swings in the value of their positions is added to or deducted from their margin account . If the margin account gets too low , they have to replenish it . In this way it is highly unlikely that the client will not be able to fulfill his obligations arising from the contracts . As the clearing house is the counterparty to all their trades , they only have to have one margin account . This is in contrast with OTC derivatives , where issues such as margin accounts have to be negotiated with all counterparties . Regulators ( edit ) Each exchange is normally regulated by a national governmental ( or semi-governmental ) regulatory agency : In Australia , this role is performed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission . In the Chinese mainland , by the China Securities Regulatory Commission . In Hong Kong , by the Securities and Futures Commission . In India , by the Securities and Exchange Board of India and Forward Markets Commission In South Korea , by the Financial Supervisory Service . In Japan , by the Financial Services Agency . In Pakistan , by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan . In Singapore by the Monetary Authority of Singapore . In the UK , futures exchanges are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority . In the USA , by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission . In Malaysia , by the Securities Commission Malaysia . In Spain , by the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores ( CNMV ) . In Brazil , by the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários ( CVM ) . In South Africa , by the Financial Services Board ( South Africa ) . In Mauritius , by the Financial Services Commission ( FSC ) Futures data ( edit ) There are several sources of futures data on the internet which can be used by professional traders , analysts and individual investors . The largest collection of futures data online can be found on Quandl and can be downloaded in any format . Barchart Market Data also offers futures data and has been providing market data to finance professionals since the 1930s . Other sources of futures data include websites like the Moore Research Center and Turtletrader.com which has historical futures prices on contracts traded in US futures exchanges .

Great Oxygenation Event
Great Oxygenation Event - wikipedia Great Oxygenation Event Jump to : navigation , search O build - up in the Earth 's atmosphere . Red and green lines represent the range of the estimates while time is measured in billions of years ago ( Ga ) . Stage 1 ( 3.85 -- 2.45 Ga ) : Practically no O in the atmosphere . The oceans were also largely anoxic with the possible exception of O gases in the shallow oceans . Stage 2 ( 2.45 -- 1.85 Ga ) : O produced , and rose to values of 0.02 and 0.04 atm , but absorbed in oceans and seabed rock . Stage 3 ( 1.85 -- 0.85 Ga ) : O starts to gas out of the oceans , but is absorbed by land surfaces . There was no significant change in terms of oxygen level . Stages 4 and 5 ( 0.85 -- present ) : O sinks filled and the gas accumulates . The Great Oxygenation Event , the beginning of which is commonly known in scientific media as the Great Oxidation Event ( GOE , also called the Oxygen Catastrophe , Oxygen Crisis , Oxygen Holocaust , Oxygen Revolution , or Great Oxidation ) was the biologically induced appearance of dioxygen ( O ) in Earth 's atmosphere . Geological , isotopic , and chemical evidence suggest that this major environmental change happened around 2.45 billion years ago ( 2.45 Ga ) , during the Siderian period , at the beginning of the Proterozoic eon . The causes of the event are not clear . The current geochemical and biomarker evidence for the development of oxygenic photosynthesis before the Great Oxidation Event has been mostly inconclusive . Oceanic cyanobacteria , which evolved into coordinated ( but not multicellular or even colonial ) macroscopic forms more than 2.3 billion years ago ( approximately 200 million years before the GOE ) , are believed to have become the first microbes to produce oxygen by photosynthesis . Before the GOE , any free oxygen they produced was chemically captured by dissolved iron or organic matter . The GOE started when these oxygen sinks became saturated , at which point oxygen produced by the cyanobacteria was free to escape into the atmosphere . Cyanobacteria : Responsible for the buildup of oxygen in the earth 's atmosphere The increased production of oxygen set Earth 's original atmosphere off balance . Free oxygen is toxic to obligate anaerobic organisms , and the rising concentrations may have destroyed most such organisms at the time . Cyanobacteria were therefore responsible for one of the most significant mass extinctions in Earth 's history . Besides marine cyanobacteria , there is also evidence of cyanobacteria on land . A spike in chromium contained in ancient rock deposits formed underwater shows the accumulation had been washed off from the continental shelves . Chromium is not easily dissolved and its release from rocks would have required the presence of a powerful acid . One such acid , sulfuric acid ( H SO ) , might have been created through bacterial reactions with pyrite . Mats of oxygen - producing cyanobacteria can produce a thin layer , one or two millimeters thick , of oxygenated water in an otherwise anoxic environment even under thick ice , and before oxygen started accumulating in the atmosphere , these organisms would already be adapted to oxygen . Additionally , the free oxygen would have reacted with atmospheric methane , a greenhouse gas , greatly reducing its concentration and triggering the Huronian glaciation , possibly the longest episode of glaciation in Earth 's history and called snowball Earth . Eventually , the evolution of aerobic organisms that consumed oxygen established an equilibrium in its availability . Free oxygen has been an important constituent of the atmosphere ever since .

Orange labels : ice ages . Also see : Human timeline and Nature timeline See also : Oxygen cycle The most widely accepted chronology of the Great Oxygenation Event suggests that free oxygen was first produced by prokaryotic and then later eukaryotic organisms that carried out oxygenic photosynthesis more efficiently . The excess of oxygen those organisms produce is a waste product . These organisms lived long before the GOE , perhaps as early as 3,500 million years ago . Initially , the oxygen they produced would have quickly been removed from the atmosphere by the chemical weathering of reducing minerals ( those able to be oxidized ) , most notably iron . This ' mass rusting ' led to the deposition of iron ( III ) oxide in the form of banded - iron formations such as the sediments in Minnesota and Pilbara , Western Australia . Oxygen only began to persist in the atmosphere in small quantities shortly ( ~ 50 million years ) before the start of the GOE . Without a mineral sink in the form of iron , oxygen could have accumulated very rapidly . For example , at today 's rates of photosynthesis ( which are much greater than those in Precambrian when there were no land plants ) , modern atmospheric O levels could be produced in around 2,000 years . Another hypothesis is that oxygen producers did not evolve until a few million years before the major rise in atmospheric oxygen concentration . This is based on a particular interpretation of a supposed oxygen indicator , the mass - independent fractionation of sulfur isotopes , a marker used in previous studies . This hypothesis would eliminate the need to explain a lag in time between the evolution of oxyphotosynthetic microbes and the rise in free oxygen . In either case , oxygen did eventually accumulate in the atmosphere , with two major consequences . Firstly , it oxidized atmospheric methane ( a strong greenhouse gas ) to carbon dioxide ( a weaker one ) and water . This decreased the greenhouse effect of the Earth 's atmosphere , causing planetary cooling , and triggered the Huronian glaciation . Starting around 2.4 billion years ago , this lasted 300 - 400 million years , and may have been the longest ever snowball Earth episode . Secondly , the increased oxygen concentrations provided a new opportunity for biological diversification , as well as tremendous changes in the nature of chemical interactions between rocks , sand , clay , and other geological substrates and the Earth 's air , oceans , and other surface waters . Despite the natural recycling of organic matter , life had remained energetically - limited until the widespread availability of oxygen . This breakthrough in metabolic evolution greatly increased the free energy availability for living organisms , with truly global environmental impacts . For example , mitochondria evolved after the GOE , and with more energy available from oxygen , organisms had the means for new , more complex morphologies . These new morphologies in turn helped drive evolution through increasingly complex interactions between organisms . Timeline of glaciations , shown in blue . Time lag theory ( edit ) The gap between the start of oxygen production from photosynthetic organisms and the geologically rapid increase in atmospheric oxygen ( about 2.5 -- 2.4 billion years ago ) may have been as long as 900 million years . Several hypotheses might explain the time lag : Tectonic trigger ( edit ) 2.1 billion year old rock showing banded iron formation The oxygen increase had to await tectonically driven changes in the Earth , including the appearance of shelf seas , where reduced organic carbon could reach the sediments and be buried . The newly produced oxygen was first consumed in various chemical reactions in the oceans , primarily with iron . Evidence is found in older rocks that contain massive banded iron formations that were apparently laid down as this iron and oxygen first combined ; most of the planet 's commercial iron ore is in these deposits . Researchers found that the amount of oxygen in the air spiked each time smaller land masses collided to form a super-continent . These massive pile ups generated mountain chains and as these mountains eroded , they released nutrients into the ocean , feeding the cyanobacteria that carry out photosynthesis . Nickel famine ( edit ) The early chemosynthetic organisms would have been a source of methane , which is an important trap for molecular oxygen , because oxygen readily oxidizes methane to carbon dioxide ( CO ) and water in the presence of UV radiation . Modern methanogens require nickel as an enzyme cofactor . As the Earth 's crust cooled , the supply of nickel from volcanoes was reduced and hence less methane was produced . This allowed the oxygen percentage of the atmosphere to rise as the decrease in production of methane allowed the oxygen producing algae and other such life forms to , in a sense , out - produce the methane producers . From 2.7 to 2.4 billion years ago , the rate of deposition of nickel declined steadily ; it was originally 400 times today 's levels . Bistability ( edit ) Another hypothesis posits a model of the atmosphere that exhibits bistability in oxygen concentrations . In this model , UV shielding decreases the rate of methane oxidation once oxygen levels are sufficient to support the formation of an ozone layer . This explanation proposes an atmospheric system experiencing two steady states , one with lower ( 0.02 % ) atmospheric oxygen content , and the other with higher ( 21 % or more ) oxygen content . The Great Oxygenation Event can then be understood as a switch between the lower to the upper stable steady states . Hydrogen gas ( edit ) Another factor is the presence of hydrogen gas . The appearance of cyanobacteria might explain the decline of hydrogen gas and why Earth 's air is so oxygen - rich . Some bacteria living in the early oceans had the ability to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules . By using the energy of the Sun , the separate hydrogen molecules were able to create organic compounds , and oxygen was a by - product . If the hydrogen - heavy compounds were buried , it would have allowed oxygen to accumulate in the atmosphere . However , in 2001 scientists realized that the hydrogen would instead escape into space through a process called methane photolysis , in which hydrogen - containing methane reacts with oxygen releasing hydrogen . This hypothesis could explain why the early Earth stayed warm enough to sustain oxygen producing lifeforms . Late evolution of oxy - photosynthesis theory ( edit ) There is a possibility that the oxygen indicator was misinterpreted . During the proposed time of the lag in the previous theory , there was a change from mass - independently fractionated ( MIF ) sulfur to mass - dependently fractionated ( MDF ) sulfur in sediments . This was assumed to be a result of the appearance of oxygen in the atmosphere ( since oxygen would have prevented the photolysis of sulfur dioxide , which causes MIF ) . This change from MIF to MDF of sulfur isotopes also may have been caused by an increase in glacial weathering , or the homogenization of the marine sulfur pool as a result of an increased thermal gradient during the Huronian glaciation period . Role in mineral diversification ( edit ) The Great Oxygenation Event triggered an explosive growth in the diversity of minerals on Earth . This now meant that many elements could occur in one or more oxidized forms in the near - surface environment . It is estimated that the Great Oxygenation Event alone was directly responsible for more than 2,500 new minerals of the total of about 4,500 minerals found on Earth . Most of these new minerals were formed after the Great Oxygenation event as hydrated and oxidized forms due to dynamic mantle and crust processes . ↓ Great Oxygenation ↓ End of Huronian glaciation Ediacaran Cambrian Ordovician Silurian Devonian Carboniferous Permian Triassic Jurassic Cretaceous Paleogene Neogene Quaternary Palæoproterozoic Mesoproterozoic Neoproterozoic Palæozoic Mesozoic Cenozoic │ − 2500 │ − 2300 │ − 2100 │ − 1900 │ − 1700 │ − 1500 │ − 1300 │ − 1100 │ − 900 │ − 700 │ − 500 │ − 300 │ − 100 Million years ago .

when did oxygen start to accumulate in the earth’s atmosphere
[ "The Great Oxygenation Event, the beginning of which is commonly known in scientific media as the Great Oxidation Event (GOE, also called the Oxygen Catastrophe, Oxygen Crisis, Oxygen Holocaust[2], Oxygen Revolution, or Great Oxidation) was the biologically induced appearance of dioxygen (O2) in Earth's atmosphere.[3] Geological, isotopic, and chemical evidence suggest that this major environmental change happened around 2.45 billion years ago (2.45 Ga),[4] during the Siderian period, at the beginning of the Proterozoic eon. The causes of the event are not clear.[5] The current geochemical and biomarker evidence for the development of oxygenic photosynthesis before the Great Oxidation Event has been mostly inconclusive.[6]" ]

Town meeting
Town meeting - wikipedia Town meeting Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the form of municipal decision - making . For the public event where politicians speak with constituents , see Town hall meeting . A town meeting in Huntington , Vermont A town meeting is a form of direct democratic rule , used primarily in portions of the United States -- principally in New England -- since the 17th century , in which most or all the members of a community come together to legislate policy and budgets for local government . This is a town - or city - level meeting where decisions are made , in contrast with town hall meetings held by state and national politicians to answer questions from their constituents , which have no decision - making power .

Typically conducted by New England towns , town meeting can also refer to meetings of other governmental bodies , such as school districts or water districts . While the uses and laws vary from state to state , the general form is for residents of the town or school district to gather once a year and act as a legislative body , voting on operating budgets , laws , and other matters for the community 's operation over the following 12 months . In 1854 Henry David Thoreau said , in a speech entitled `` Slavery in Massachusetts '' : When , in some obscure country town , the farmers come together to a special town - meeting , to express their opinion on some subject which is vexing the land , that , I think , is the true Congress , and the most respectable one that is ever assembled in the United States . The painting Freedom of Speech depicts a scene from a town meeting . The Puritans , who believed in Congregationalist church governance , established town meetings when they established the various New England colonies . Its usage in the English language can also cause confusion , since it is both an event , as in `` Freetown had its town meeting last Tuesday '' , and an entity , as in `` Last Tuesday , Town Meeting decided to repave Howland Road . '' In recent years , `` town meeting '' has also been used by political groups and political candidates as a label for moderated discussion group in which a large audience is invited . To avoid confusion , this sort of event is often called a `` town hall meeting . '' Connecticut ( edit ) Connecticut town meetings are bound to a published agenda . For example , in Connecticut , a Town Meeting may discuss , but not alter , an article placed before them , nor may they place new items on the agenda . If a Town Meeting rejects a budget , a new Town Meeting must be called to consider the next proposed budget . State Law allows the Board of Selectmen to adopt an estimated tax rate and continue operating based on the previous budget in the event a Town Meeting has not adopted a new budget in time . They also do not exercise the scope of legislative powers as is typically seen in Massachusetts ; for example , while many Massachusetts towns adopt and modify land - use and building zoning regulations at Town Meeting , in Connecticut the Town Meeting would have `` adopted zoning '' as a concept for the town , however the actual writing and adopting of specific regulations fall to an elected Planning & Zoning Board created by the adoption of zoning . A moderator is chosen at each meeting . Meetings are typically held in school auditoriums , however they may be moved to larger venues as needed . Town meetings can physically meet in another town if necessary to find a proper space to host the attendance . Votes are taken by voice , and if close by show of hands . Meetings on controversial topics are often adjourned to a referendum conducted by machine vote on a date in the future . Such adjournment may come from the floor of the meeting , or by a petition for a paper or machine ballot filed before the meeting . In towns with an Open Town Meeting , all registered voters of a town , and all persons owning at least $1,000 of taxable property , are eligible to participate in and vote at Town Meetings , with the exception of the election of officials . Representative Town Meetings used by some larger towns consist solely of a large number of members elected to office . Some towns utilize a so - called Financial Town Meeting , where an Open Town Meeting exists with limited jurisdiction to only vote on financial affairs and the town 's legislative powers have been vested in a Town Council . Maine ( edit ) In Maine , the town meeting system originated during the period when Maine was a district of Massachusetts . Most cities and towns operate under the town meeting form of government or a modified version of it . Maine annual town meetings traditionally are held in March . Special town meetings also may be called from time to time . The executive agency of town government is an elected , part - time board , known as the Board of Selectmen or Select Board , having three , five or seven members . Between sessions the board of selectmen interprets the policy set at Town Meeting and is assigned numerous duties including : approving all town non-school expenditures , authorizing highway construction and repair , serving as town purchasing agent for non-school items , issuing licenses and overseeing the conduct of all town activities . Often the part - time selectmen also serve as town assessors , overseers of the poor as well as road commissioners . Generally , there are other elected town officers whose duties are specified in law . These may include clerks , assessors , tax collector , treasurer , school committee , constables , and others . In 1927 the town of Camden adopted a special charter and became the first Maine town to apply the manager concept to the town meeting - selectmen framework . Under this system , the manager is administrative head of town government , responsible to the select board for the administration of all departments under its control . The manager 's duties include acting as purchasing agent , seeing that laws and ordinances are enforced , making appointments and removals , and fixing the compensation of appointees . ( See also : Council - manager government ) From 1927 to 1939 , eleven other Maine towns adopted special act town meeting - selectmen - manager charters similar to the Camden charter . Today , 135 Maine towns have the town meeting - selectmen - manager system , while 209 use the town meeting - selectman system . Massachusetts ( edit ) Faneuil Hall in Boston I am more and more convinced that , with reference to any public question , it is more important to know what the country thinks of it than what the city thinks . The city does not think much . On any moral question , I would rather have the opinion of Boxboro than of Boston and New York put together . When the former speaks , I feel as if somebody had spoken , as if humanity was yet , and a reasonable being had asserted its rights -- as if some unprejudiced men among the country 's hills had at length turned their attention to the subject , and by a few sensible words redeemed the reputation of the race . When , in some obscure country town , the farmers come together to a special town - meeting , to express their opinion on some subject which is vexing the land , that , I think , is the true Congress , and the most respectable one that is ever assembled in the United States . -- Henry David Thoreau , Two forms of town meeting government ( edit ) Open town meeting ( edit ) Open town meeting , Huntington , Vermont An open town meeting is a form of town meeting in which all registered voters of a town may vote ( as opposed to having elected town councilmen vote on behalf of the town 's population ) . This form of government is typical of smaller municipalities in the New England region of the United States . As a form of government it basically eliminates town councilmen as middlemen . In Massachusetts , for instance , any town with fewer than 6,000 residents may only adopt an open town meeting form of government . Massachusetts towns with 6,000 or more residents may optionally adopt a representative town meeting form of government . The Board of Selectmen summons the town meeting into existence by issuing the warrant , which is the list of items -- known as articles -- to be voted on , with descriptions of each article . The Moderator officiates the meeting by reading each article , explaining it , and making sure the rules of parliamentary procedure are followed , interprets voice votes and counts other votes . The Finance Committee or Ways and Means Committee makes recommendations on articles dealing with money , and often drafts the proposed budget . The Town Clerk serves as the clerk of the meeting by recording its results . Town Counsel makes legal recommendations on all articles of the warrant , to ensure town meeting is acting lawfully . All registered voters are free to attend and vote on any and all articles . Representative town meeting ( edit ) Main article : Representative town meeting Massachusetts Towns having at least 6,000 residents may adopt a Representative Town Meeting system through the normal charter - change process . Representative Town Meetings function largely the same as an Open Town Meeting , except that not all registered voters can vote . The townspeople instead elect Town Meeting Members by precinct to represent them and to vote on the issues for them much like a town council . Depending on population , a town may have anywhere from 50 to 240 Town Meeting Members . Framingham , the largest town in the Commonwealth by population , has 216 representatives in Town Meeting , twelve from each precinct . Saugus , with 50 town meeting members , is the smallest representative town meeting in Massachusetts . In recent years , the number of RTMs in Massachusetts is declining to now just over 35 with the loss of Winthrop and Randolph as the most recent . Annual town meetings ( edit ) Annual town meetings are held in the spring , and may also be known as the annual budget meeting . They were required to be held between February 1 and May 31 , but Chapter 85 of the Acts of 2008 extended this window of time to June 30 . ( Town fiscal years start on July 1 . ) At this meeting , the town takes care of any outstanding housekeeping items it has remaining before the end of the current fiscal year , and prepares to enter the new fiscal year by approving the new fiscal year 's budget . It may also vote on non-budgetary issues on the warrant , including the town 's general and zoning bylaws . An article may be placed on the warrant by the Selectmen , sometimes at the request of town departments , or by a petition signed by at least ten registered voters of the town . Special town meetings ( edit ) Special town meetings are held whenever necessary , usually to deal with financial or other pertinent issues that develop between Annual Town Meetings . They function the same as an annual town meeting , only the number of signatures required on a petition rises to 100 . While the Selectmen generally call such a meeting , voters may call one through petition , and the number of signatures required on a petition to call a Special Town Meeting is 200 or 20 % of the registered voters , whichever number is lower . The selectmen have 45 days from the date of receiving such a petition to hold a Special Town Meeting . Joint / Regional town meetings ( edit ) Joint Town Meetings are an extremely rare form of town meeting . When two or more towns share an operating budget for district activity that includes those towns , for example , a multi-town regional school district , the governing body of that entity will typically issue each town an assessment for its operation . The town then includes its assessment as part of its budget . If Town Meeting in one town votes to approve its assessment based on the figures provided , and Town Meeting in another town votes a lesser figure than it was assessed , the disagreement becomes problematic . If the issue can not be resolved by a revised budget submitted to subsequent additional individual town meetings , the governing body has the authority to call a meeting of all registered voters from all towns in the district : a Joint Town Meeting . The action of the Joint Town Meeting is binding for all involved communities . When three or more towns are involved , the name often changes from Joint Town Meeting to Regional Town Meeting . Case study ( edit ) In 2003 , the communities of Freetown and Lakeville , Massachusetts held their annual town meetings and voted on the budget for the Freetown - Lakeville Regional School District as part of those meetings . Freetown voters approved a budget that reduced their contribution by $100,000 from what the Regional School Committee asked for , thus requiring Lakeville to lower their contribution proportionally . Lakeville voters instead approved the amount the Regional School Committee asked for , which would require Freetown to go back and approve the extra $100,000 . When the towns could not agree , the Regional School Committee , as governing body of the Freetown - Lakeville Regional School District , called a joint town meeting of voters from Freetown and Lakeville to agree on a single regional school budget . The joint meeting voted in favor of the amount originally requested , which committed Freetown to appropriate additional funds in the amount of $100,000 for the regional school district 's operations . Cities calling themselves towns ( edit ) The Massachusetts Constitution ( in Amendment LXXXIX , which governs the respective powers of municipalities and the state legislature ) makes a distinction between a `` city form of government '' and a `` town form of government '' . In recent years , a number of communities have chosen to adopt a home - rule charter under this Amendment which specifies a city form of government while retaining the style `` Town of X '' , calling their legislative bodies `` Town Council '' , and so on . ( The Constitution does not require any specific nomenclature . ) In special legislation , these places are sometimes described as `` the city known as the town of X '' . The Town Meeting legislative body and form of government is a mandatory part of being a town under state municipal law . Massachusetts cities do not have town meetings , because the legislative body is the elected city council , also sometimes called the board of aldermen or , in the case of cities styled as `` Town of _____ '' , the town council . However , as noted , the official style of a city or town is defined in its charter , and there is no legal barrier to cities calling themselves `` town '' or vice versa . As a result , not all of the municipalities that entitled Town of _____ have a Town Meeting legislative body . ( Only communities with a population of at least 12,000 are allowed to adopt a city form of government . ) Common practice distinguishes between a `` town meeting '' ( with an article ) , which may refer to any such gathering , even if municipal business is not the subject , and `` Town Meeting '' ( never an article ) , which always refers to the legislative governing body of a town . New Hampshire ( edit ) In New Hampshire , towns , village districts ( which can deal with various government activities but usually concern public water supplies ) and school districts have the option of choosing one of two types of annual meeting : Traditional meetings , and ballot - vote meetings that are known informally as `` SB 2 '' or `` Senate Bill 2 '' . A variation of SB 2 and representative town meeting are also allowed under state law but as of 2015 are not in use by any community . Traditional town meetings ( edit ) Traditional Town Meetings , or Open Meetings , are held annually on the second Tuesday of March to choose town officers and the transaction of all other town business . Town selectmen are also permitted to call special town meetings as warranted , although these must be approved by a judge if they involve budgetary expenditures or changes . Town meetings are prohibited , by state law , from being held on the biennial election day , which is typically held in November to elect county , state and national officials . A town moderator is allowed under state law to adjourn a meeting that has run for a very long period and reconvene it at a later date , usually one week from the date of the meeting , and usually in the same location , in order to finish the town 's business . Official ballot referendums ( SB 2 ) ( edit ) The SB 2 form of government was instituted by the state legislature in 1995 because of concerns that modern lifestyles had made it difficult for people to attend traditional town meetings . Residents vote in an SB 2 election at a polling place throughout the day . They may also vote by absentee ballot . Municipalities that have adopted the SB 2 form of government may switch back to the traditional town meeting form by a 3 / 5 majority vote . Under SB 2 , a first session , called a `` Deliberative Session '' , is held about a month prior to the town election . This session is similar in many ways to the traditional town meeting . However , unlike the town meeting , while the wording and dollar amounts of proposed ballot measures may be amended , no actual voting on the merits of the proposals takes place . The second session , held on a set election day , is when issues such as the town 's budget and other measures , known as warrant articles , are voted upon . When adopting SB 2 , towns or school districts may hold elections on the second Tuesday in March , the second Tuesday in April , or the second Tuesday in May . The election dates may be changed by majority vote . If a vote is taken to approve the change of the local elections , the date becomes effective the following year . In 2002 , according to the University of New Hampshire Center for Public Policy studies , 171 towns in New Hampshire had traditional town meeting , while 48 had SB 2 . Another 15 municipalities , most of them incorporated cities , had no annual meeting . The study found that 102 school districts had traditional town meeting , 64 had SB 2 meeting and 10 had no annual meeting . Because traditional - meeting communities tend to be smaller , only one - third of the state 's population was governed by traditional town meetings in 2002 , and only 22 percent by traditional school - district meetings . Official ballot town Council ( edit ) Main article : Town Council The Official Ballot Town Council is a variant form of the Town Council , in which certain items are to be placed on the ballot to be voted on by the registered voters . This process mimics the SB 2 process , except that the Town Council makes the determination of what items will go on the ballot . Budgetary town meeting ( edit ) The Budgetary Town Meeting is a variation of the Open Meeting , but only the annual town operating budget as presented by the governing body can be voted on by the registered voters . When a town charter provides for a Budgetary Town Meeting it also must establish the procedures for the transfer of funds among various departments , funds , accounts and agencies as may be necessary during the year . Representative town meeting ( edit ) Main article : Representative Town Meeting State law also allows for a Representative Town Meeting , similar to that of a Town Council , although as of 2006 the practice is not used by a town or school district in New Hampshire . Voters elect a small number of residents to act as the legislative body instead of them , however no town in the state has done so . Representative Town Meetings follow the same procedure and address the same issues as traditional town meetings , except they can not consider matters which state law or the charter states must be placed on the official ballot of the town . Moderator ( edit ) Moderators are elected to two - year terms on even years in towns and are elected in city wards at every other city election . The moderator 's duties include presiding over town meetings , regulating the business thereof , deciding questions of order , making public declarations of each vote passed , and prescribing rules of proceeding which may be altered by the town as need . The moderator also has the authority to postpone and reschedule the deliberative session or voting day of the meeting to another reasonable date , place , and time certain in the case of a weather emergency in which the moderator reasonably believes the roads to be hazardous or unsafe . New York ( edit ) Town meetings were the rule in New York from the colonial period into the 20th century . They were typically held between February 1 and May 1 of each year primarily for the election of town officials but were also empowered to set `` rules for fences and for impounding animals , '' supporting the poor , raising taxes , and to `` determine any other question lawfully submitted to them '' . In the late 1890s the state legislature shifted the meetings - by this time no more than town elections -- to biennial to conform to the pattern of federal , state , and municipal elections in the state 's cities . It also permitted , and later directed , town meetings to be held in November . That process was not complete until the 1920s . Laws adopted in 1932 for the first time refer to `` Biennial town elections '' , stating that these were `` a substitute for a town meeting ... and a reference in any law to a town meeting or special town meeting shall be construed as reference to a town election '' . The state 's school districts ( independent units with taxing powers ) voted on budgets and capital levies and elected school board members in town - meeting style until the late 1950s . Rhode Island ( edit ) Due to a change in the state 's constitution , Rhode Island municipalities have a greater degree of home rule compared to the other New England states . Like Connecticut , a few towns utilize a so - called Financial Town Meeting , where an Open Town Meeting exists with limited jurisdiction to only vote on financial affairs and the town 's legislative powers have been vested in a Town Council . The direct democracy tradition is now uncommon in Rhode Island . Vermont ( edit ) The Town House of Marlboro , Vermont , was built in 1822 to be used for town meetings , which had previously been held in private homes . It is still in use today . Town Meeting Day ( the first Tuesday in March ) is a state holiday . Most organized towns operate under the general statutes requiring an annual town meeting on that day or , optionally , on preceding days if the voters so choose . The purpose of town meeting is to elect municipal officers , approve annual budgets and conduct any other business . All cities and some towns in Vermont operate under charters instead of general legislation ( see special legislation ) . The cities and chartered towns , except for South Burlington , are required by the terms of their charters to hold an annual town meeting , on Town Meeting Day . Many towns vote on matters of substance ( e.g. , budgets , elected officials , etc . ) by secret ballot ( also known as Australian ballot ) . However , there is no state law that requires towns to vote by Australian ballot ; several towns still conduct all business `` from the floor '' . Cities and towns are governed by either a city council or a selectboard . They are fully empowered to act on most issues and are generally referred to as the municipality 's legislative body . But all town budgets ( and those of other independent taxing authorities ) must be approved by plebiscite ; explaining the local government 's budget request to the voters is the principal business of Town Meeting . Voters at Town Meeting may also vote on non-binding resolutions , and may place items on the ballot for the following year 's meeting . There is no general requirement for chartered municipalities to observe town meeting or to put their budgets to plebiscite . When the Town of South Burlington was re-chartered as the City of South Burlington in 1971 , the new charter provided for city elections in April and required only budget increases of 10 % or more per annum to be placed before voters . No other municipality has been granted such a charter by the legislature , and there is strong sentiment against making future exceptions . According to the Vermont Secretary of State 's Citizen 's Guide to Town Meeting , Vermont gives state employees the day off on town meeting day . Vermont `` law also gives a private employee the right to take unpaid leave from work to attend his or her annual town meeting , subject to the essential operation of the business or government . An employee must give the employer at least seven days notice if he or she wants to take advantage of this right to attend town meeting . Students who are over 18 also have the right to attend town meeting '' and not be declared truant . Moderator ( edit ) Moderators are elected to one - year terms in towns . The moderator 's duties include reviewing the `` warning '' ( published agenda ) for the town meeting , presiding over town meetings , deciding questions of order , making public declarations of each vote passed , and prescribing rules of proceeding . Other States ( edit ) Towns in several western states and counties also practice town meeting , though generally with more limited powers . Michigan was the first western state to adopt the town meeting system , but it was initially very restricted in its function . Minnesota has had town meetings as the policy - setting bodies of townships . They were required once the voting population of a township reached 25 persons . Townships still hold town meetings . Europe ( edit ) Basque country ( edit ) The best - known example of the town meeting system of government was to be found in the Basque Country of northern Spain in the Middle Ages . Known as the anteiglesia ( literally `` in front of the church '' from the Latin ante - and not anti ) all the residents of a town would meet outside the door of the largest church and vote on local matters . They would also elect a sindico to represent them in the regional assembly . The village or town was divided into cofradías , which dealt with day - to - day administration in each of the town 's parishes . The system was revived in the municipality of Iurreta , Biscay in 1990 . Switzerland ( edit ) Town meetings are the usual legislative body of the smaller municipalities of Switzerland , that is of approximately 90 % of all Swiss municipalities . The meetings are usually held twice a year . At the cantonal level , some regions also hold Landsgemeinde , annual meetings for deciding on legislative referenda . In the 17th century this was common across the region , but in the 21st century the meetings continue to exist only in two cantons of Switzerland . Within religious communities ( edit ) The Bahá'í Faith has a Nineteen Day Feast which encourages all members of the geographic community in good standing to attend for prayers , administrative discussion , and socializing . This meeting is one component of the Bahá'í Administrative Order ( which is held up as a model for secular society to consider implementing some of its features ) , and the meeting is considered by Bahá'ís to be an example of grass - roots democracy .

town meetings practiced in many small new england towns are examples of what
[ "A town meeting is a form of direct democratic rule, used primarily in portions of the United States – principally in New England – since the 17th century, in which most or all the members of a community come together to legislate policy and budgets for local government. This is a town- or city-level meeting where decisions are made, in contrast with town hall meetings held by state and national politicians to answer questions from their constituents, which have no decision-making power." ]

Coward of the County
Coward of the County - wikipedia Coward of the County `` Coward of the County '' Single by Kenny Rogers from the album Kenny B - side `` I Want to Make You Smile '' Released November 12 , 1979 Genre Country Length 4 : 20 Label United Artists Songwriter ( s ) Roger Bowling , Billy Ed Wheeler Producer ( s ) Larry Butler Kenny Rogers singles chronology `` You Decorated My Life '' ( 1979 ) `` Coward of the County '' ( 1979 ) `` Do n't Fall in Love with a Dreamer '' ( 1980 ) `` You Decorated My Life '' ( 1979 ) `` Coward of the County '' ( 1979 ) `` Do n't Fall in Love with a Dreamer '' ( 1980 ) `` Coward of the County '' is a country song written by Roger Bowling and Billy Ed Wheeler , and recorded by American country music singer Kenny Rogers . It was released in November 1979 as the second single from the multi-platinum album Kenny . A million - selling gold - certified 45 , it is one of Rogers ' biggest hits . The song is about a man 's nephew who is a reputed coward , but finally takes a stand for his lover . The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart . It also hit # 1 on the Cash Box singles chart and # 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart . In addition , it hit # 1 on the UK Singles chart . It was the most recent traditional country music song to hit number one in the UK , in February 1980 . In Ireland , the song was # 1 for six consecutive weeks . Contents ( hide ) 1 Content 2 Controversy regarding `` The Gatlin Boys '' lyric 3 Chart performance 4 Cover versions 5 Film adaptation 6 References 7 External links Content ( edit ) The song tells the story of a young man named Tommy , who earns a notorious reputation as the `` coward of the county '' ( and is nicknamed `` Yellow '' , a slang term for a cowardly person ) since he never stood up for himself one single time to prove the county wrong . Tommy 's non-confrontational attitude was influenced , at age 10 , by his final visit with his imprisoned father , shortly before he dies there ( accompanied by the singer , portraying Tommy 's uncle ) . In his final words to Tommy , his father tells him that to `` turn the other cheek '' is n't altogether a sign of weakness , and implores him to promise `` not to do the things I 've done ; walk away from trouble if you can '' ( implying that not `` turning the other cheek '' was what may have landed Tommy 's father in prison ) . Despite his cowardly reputation , Tommy falls in love with Becky , a local girl who loves Tommy for who he is without having to prove to her that he was a man . One day , while Tommy was working , the three Gatlin brothers came to Becky 's house , attacked and `` took turns at Becky . '' Tommy returns home and finds Becky crying and her dress torn . Reaching above the fireplace and taking down his daddy 's picture , he faces the dilemma of choosing between upholding his father 's plea of `` walking away from trouble '' , or achieving justice for Becky . Tommy chooses to visit the bar where the Gatlin boys are . Amid laughter upon Tommy 's entrance , and after `` one of them got up and met him halfway ' cross the floor , '' Tommy turns around , and the Gatlins assume he once again is going to walk away like a coward ( `` they said , hey look old yellow 's leaving '' ) . However he actually turned to lock the door behind him ( `` you coulda heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door '' ) and trap the Gatlin boys inside with him . Fueled by `` twenty years of crawlin ' '' that `` was bottled up inside him , '' Tommy engages in a relentless barroom brawl that leaves all three Gatlin boys unconscious ( or possibly dead , the lyrics are ambiguous ) on the barroom floor . Tommy then reflects on his dead father 's plea , addressing him respectfully that while he did his best to avoid trouble , he hopes he understands that `` sometimes you got ta fight when you 're a man . '' Controversy regarding `` the Gatlin boys '' lyric ( edit ) It has been claimed that mention of the `` Gatlin boys ... there was three of them '' in the song was a reference to The Gatlin Brothers . However , in The Billboard Book of Number One Country Singles , Rogers stated that he did not realize the connection , and that had he done so , he would have asked for the name to have been changed . Larry Gatlin also gave the song a positive review ( `` It 's a good song '' ) . Writer Billy Edd Wheeler denied that the lyric was a reference to the Gatlin Brothers . Larry Gatlin said in an interview on the Adam Carolla Show that Roger Bowling had a personal grudge against him although he did n't know why . He told Carolla that when Bowling won song of the year for `` Lucille '' , he ( Gatlin ) walked over to congratulate Bowling for winning . Gatlin told Carolla : `` He said ' fuck you Gatlin . ' I said ' what ? ' He said ' fuck you . ' I said ' Let me tell you something , hoss . If we were n't in the Grand Ole ' Opry House dressed up in tuxedos , I would just open a boot shop in your ass . ' '' Gatlin said it was a year or two later that his family name showed up in `` Coward of the County . '' Chart performance ( edit ) Chart ( 1979 -- 80 ) Peak position Australia ( ARIA ) 6 Austria ( Ö3 Austria Top 40 ) 9 Canada Adult Contemporary Tracks ( RPM ) Canada Country Tracks ( RPM ) Canada Top Singles ( RPM ) Ireland ( IRMA ) Netherlands ( Dutch Top 40 ) 8 New Zealand ( Recorded Music NZ ) Switzerland ( Schweizer Hitparade ) 8 Spain ( AFYVE ) 19 UK Singles Chart ( Official Charts Company ) US Hot Country Songs ( Billboard ) US Cash Box Top 100 US Billboard Hot 100 US Adult Contemporary ( Billboard ) 5 Cover versions ( edit ) Alvin and the Chipmunks covered the song with several lyric changes for their 1981 album Urban Chipmunk . Jamaican dancehall musician Sister Nancy performed a version on her 1982 album `` One , Two '' as `` Coward of the Country ( sic ) . '' Her version also includes elements of the songs `` Banana Boat Song '' and `` In the Ghetto . '' Film adaptation ( edit ) The song inspired a 1981 television movie of the same name , directed by Dick Lowry , who also directed all but the last of The Gambler television movie saga pentalogy . Set in small - town Georgia during the onset of America 's involvement in World War II , the film 's plot stayed true to the song 's lyrics and starred Rogers as Tommy 's uncle , Reverend Matthew Spencer ( the singer of the song ) , Fredric Lehne as the troubled Tommy Spencer , Largo Woodruff as Tommy 's girlfriend Becky , and William Schreiner as James Joseph `` Jimmy Joe '' Gatlin ( one of Tommy 's nemeses and a rival for Becky ; Jimmy Joe publicly states that Becky is ' his girl ' despite the fact that Becky never has felt the same way towards him and has repeatedly told him so . That rejection ( to which he is in total denial ) , along with the fact that Becky and Tommy started dating and became engaged while he and his brother Luke were away at basic training , would serve as motive for Jimmy Joe and his brothers to assault Becky three days before she and Tommy would be getting married . ) . The movie added several characters not mentioned in the song , including Car - Wash ( Noble Willingham ) , a friend of the Spencer family ; Violet ( Ana Alicia ) , a local girl who also loved Tommy ; and Lem Gatlin ( Joe Dorsey ) , the equally - nemesis father of the Gatlin boys ( brothers Jimmy Joe , Paul , and Luke ) . The film ends with Tommy joining the military and being shipped off to war , right after his and Becky 's wedding ceremony ( performed by Matthew ) , and with all three Gatlin brothers going to prison for gang - raping Becky .

( the nation 's capital ) , and several territories . The federal government is composed of three distinct branches : legislative , executive , and judicial , whose powers are vested by the U.S. Constitution in the Congress , the president , and the federal courts , respectively . The powers and duties of these branches are further defined by acts of Congress , including the creation of executive departments and courts inferior to the Supreme Court .

No other name appears in the Constitution , and this is the name that appears on money , in treaties , and in legal cases to which it is a party ( Charles T. Schenck v. United States ) . The terms `` Government of the United States of America '' or `` United States Government '' are often used in official documents to represent the federal government as distinct from the states collectively . In casual conversation or writing , the term `` Federal Government '' is often used , and the term `` National Government '' is sometimes used . The terms `` Federal '' and `` National '' in government agency or program names generally indicate affiliation with the federal government ( Federal Bureau of Investigation , National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , National Park Service ) . Because the seat of government is in Washington , D.C. , `` Washington '' is commonly used as a metonym for the federal government . History The outline of the government of the United States is laid out in the Constitution . The government was formed in 1789 , when the Constitution went into effect , making the United States one of the world 's first , if not the first , modern national constitutional republics . The United States government is based on the principles of federalism and republicanism , in which power is shared between the federal government and state governments . The interpretation and execution of these principles , including what powers the federal government should have and how those powers can be exercised , have been debated ever since the adoption of the Constitution . Some make the case for expansive federal powers while others argue for a more limited role for the central government in relation to individuals , the states , or other recognized entities . Since the American Civil War , the powers of the federal government have generally expanded greatly , although there have been periods since that time of legislative branch dominance ( e.g. , the decades immediately following the Civil War ) or when states ' rights proponents have succeeded in limiting federal power through legislative action , executive prerogative or by constitutional interpretation by the courts . One of the theoretical pillars of the U.S. Constitution is the idea of `` checks and balances '' among the powers and responsibilities of the three branches of American government : the executive , the legislative , and the judiciary . For example , while the legislative branch ( Congress ) has the power to create law , the executive branch under the president can veto any legislation -- an act which , in turn , can be overridden by Congress . The president nominates judges to the nation 's highest judiciary authority , the Supreme Court , but those nominees must be approved by Congress . The Supreme Court , in turn , can invalidate unconstitutional laws passed by the Congress . These and other examples are examined in more detail in the text below . Legislative branch Main article : United States Congress Seal of the U.S. Congress The United States Congress is the legislative branch of the federal government . It is bicameral , comprising the House of Representatives and the Senate . Makeup of Congress House of Representatives The 435 seats of the House grouped by state The House currently consists of 435 voting members , each of whom represents a congressional district . The number of representatives each state has in the House is based on each state 's population as determined in the most recent United States Census . All 435 representatives serve a two - year term . Each state receives a minimum of one representative in the House . In order to be elected as a representative , an individual must be at least 25 years of age , must have been a U.S. citizen for at least seven years , and must live in the state that he or she represents . There is no limit on the number of terms a representative may serve . In addition to the 435 voting members , there are 6 non-voting members , consisting of 5 delegates and one resident commissioner . There is one delegate each from the District of Columbia , Guam , the Virgin Islands , American Samoa , and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands , and the resident commissioner from Puerto Rico . Senate In contrast , the Senate is made up of two senators from each state , regardless of population . There are currently 100 senators ( 2 from each of the 50 states ) , who each serve six - year terms . Approximately one - third of the Senate stands for election every two years . Different powers The House and Senate each have particular exclusive powers . For example , the Senate must approve ( give `` advice and consent '' to ) many important presidential appointments , including cabinet officers , federal judges ( including nominees to the Supreme Court ) , department secretaries ( heads of federal executive branch departments ) , U.S. military and naval officers , and ambassadors to foreign countries . All legislative bills for raising revenue must originate in the House of Representatives . The approval of both chambers is required to pass all legislation , which then may only become law by being signed by the president ( or , if the president vetoes the bill , both houses of Congress then re-pass the bill , but by a two - thirds majority of each chamber , in which case the bill becomes law without the president 's signature ) . The powers of Congress are limited to those enumerated in the Constitution ; all other powers are reserved to the states and the people . The Constitution also includes the `` Necessary and Proper Clause '' , which grants Congress the power to `` make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers '' . Members of the House and Senate are elected by first - past - the - post voting in every state except Louisiana and Georgia , which have runoffs . Impeachment of federal officers Main article : Impeachment in the United States Congress has the power to remove the president , federal judges , and other federal officers from office . The House of Representatives and Senate have separate roles in this process . The House must first vote to `` impeach '' the official . Then , a trial is held in the Senate to decide whether the official should be removed from office . Although two presidents have been impeached by the House of Representatives ( Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton ) , neither of them was removed following trial in the Senate . Congressional procedures Article I , Section 2 , paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution gives each chamber the power to `` determine the rules of its proceedings '' . From this provision were created congressional committees , which do the work of drafting legislation and conducting congressional investigations into national matters . The 108th Congress ( 2003 -- 2005 ) had 19 standing committees in the House and 17 in the Senate , plus 4 joint permanent committees with members from both houses overseeing the Library of Congress , printing , taxation , and the economy . In addition , each house may name special , or select , committees to study specific problems . Today , much of the congressional workload is borne by the subcommittees , of which there are around 150 . Powers of Congress Main article : Article One of the United States Constitution The United States Capitol is the seat of government for Congress . The Constitution grants numerous powers to Congress . Enumerated in Article I , Section 8 , these include the powers to levy and collect taxes ; to coin money and regulate its value ; provide for punishment for counterfeiting ; establish post offices and roads , issue patents , create federal courts inferior to the Supreme Court , combat piracies and felonies , declare war , raise and support armies , provide and maintain a navy , make rules for the regulation of land and naval forces , provide for , arm and discipline the militia , exercise exclusive legislation in the District of Columbia , and to make laws necessary to properly execute powers . Over the two centuries since the United States was formed , many disputes have arisen over the limits on the powers of the federal government . These disputes have often been the subject of lawsuits that have ultimately been decided by the United States Supreme Court . Congressional oversight Main article : Congressional oversight Congressional oversight is intended to prevent waste and fraud , protect civil liberties and individual rights , ensure executive compliance with the law , gather information for making laws and educating the public , and evaluate executive performance . It applies to cabinet departments , executive agencies , regulatory commissions , and the presidency . Congress 's oversight function takes many forms : Committee inquiries and hearings Formal consultations with and reports from the president Senate advice and consent for presidential nominations and for treaties House impeachment proceedings and subsequent Senate trials House and Senate proceedings under the 25th Amendment in the event that the president becomes disabled or the office of the vice president falls vacant Informal meetings between legislators and executive officials Congressional membership : each state is allocated a number of seats based on its representation ( or ostensible representation , in the case of D.C. ) in the House of Representatives . Each state is allocated two senators regardless of its population . As of January 2010 , the District of Columbia elects a non-voting representative to the House of Representatives along with American Samoa , the U.S. Virgin Islands , Guam , Puerto Rico , and the Northern Mariana Islands . Executive branch See also : Article Two of the United States Constitution and List of United States federal executive orders The executive power in the federal government is vested in the President of the United States , although power is often delegated to the Cabinet members and other officials . The president and vice president are elected as running mates by the Electoral College , for which each state , as well as the District of Columbia , is allocated a number of seats based on its representation ( or ostensible representation , in the case of D.C. ) in both houses of Congress . The president is limited to a maximum of two four - year terms . If the president has already served two years or more of a term to which some other person was elected , he or she may only serve one more additional four - year term . President Main article : President of the United States Seal of the President of the United States The executive branch consists of the president and those to whom the president 's powers are delegated . The president is both the head of state and government , as well as the military commander - in - chief and chief diplomat . The president , according to the Constitution , must `` take care that the laws be faithfully executed '' , and `` preserve , protect and defend the Constitution '' . The president presides over the executive branch of the federal government , an organization numbering about 5 million people , including 1 million active - duty military personnel and 600,000 postal service employees . The president may sign legislation passed by Congress into law or may veto it , preventing it from becoming law unless two - thirds of both houses of Congress vote to override the veto . The president may unilaterally sign treaties with foreign nations . However , ratification of international treaties requires a two - thirds majority vote in the Senate . The president may be impeached by a majority in the House and removed from office by a two - thirds majority in the Senate for `` treason , bribery , or other high crimes and misdemeanors '' . The president may not dissolve Congress or call special elections but does have the power to pardon or release criminals convicted of offenses against the federal government ( except in cases of impeachment ) , enact executive orders , and ( with the consent of the Senate ) appoint Supreme Court justices and federal judges . Vice president Main article : Vice President of the United States Seal of the Vice President of the United States The vice president is the second - highest official in rank of the federal government . The office of the vice president 's duties and powers are established in the legislative branch of the federal government under Article 1 , Section 3 , Clauses 4 and 5 as the President of the Senate ; this means that he or she is the head of the Senate . In that capacity , the vice president is allowed to vote in the Senate , but only when necessary to break a tie vote . Pursuant to the Twelfth Amendment , the vice president presides over the joint session of Congress when it convenes to count the vote of the Electoral College . As first in the U.S. presidential line of succession , the vice president 's duties and powers move to the executive branch when becoming president upon the death , resignation , or removal of the president , which has happened nine times in U.S. history . Lastly , in the case of a Twenty - fifth Amendment succession event , the vice president would become acting president , assuming all of the powers and duties of president , except being designated as president . Accordingly , by circumstances , the Constitution designates the vice president as routinely in the legislative branch , or succeeding to the executive branch as president , or possibly being in both as acting president pursuant to the Twenty - fifth Amendment . Because of circumstances , the overlapping nature of the duties and powers attributed to the office , the title of the office and other matters , such has generated a spirited scholarly dispute regarding attaching an exclusive branch designation to the office of vice president . Cabinet , executive departments , and agencies Main articles : Cabinet of the United States , United States federal executive departments , and List of federal agencies in the United States The day - to - day enforcement and administration of federal laws is in the hands of the various federal executive departments , created by Congress to deal with specific areas of national and international affairs . The heads of the 15 departments , chosen by the president and approved with the `` advice and consent '' of the U.S. Senate , form a council of advisers generally known as the president 's `` Cabinet '' . Once confirmed , these `` cabinet officers '' serve at the pleasure of the president . In addition to departments , a number of staff organizations are grouped into the Executive Office of the President . These include the White House staff , the National Security Council , the Office of Management and Budget , the Council of Economic Advisers , the Council on Environmental Quality , the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative , the Office of National Drug Control Policy , and the Office of Science and Technology Policy . The employees in these United States government agencies are called federal civil servants . There are also independent agencies such as the United States Postal Service ( USPS ) , the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA ) , the Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) , the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) , and the United States Agency for International Development ( USAID ) . In addition , there are government - owned corporations such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the National Railroad Passenger Corporation . Judicial branch Main articles : Federal judiciary of the United States and United States federal courts See also : Article Three of the United States Constitution The Judiciary explains and applies the laws . This branch does this by hearing and eventually making decisions on various legal cases . Overview of the federal judiciary Seal of the U.S. Supreme Court Article III section I of the Constitution establishes the Supreme Court of the United States and authorizes the United States Congress to establish inferior courts as their need shall arise . Section I also establishes a lifetime tenure for all federal judges and states that their compensation may not be diminished during their time in office . Article II section II establishes that all federal judges are to be appointed by the president and confirmed by the United States Senate . The Judiciary Act of 1789 subdivided the nation jurisdictionally into judicial districts and created federal courts for each district . The three tiered structure of this act established the basic structure of the national judiciary : the Supreme Court , 13 courts of appeals , 94 district courts , and two courts of special jurisdiction . Congress retains the power to re-organize or even abolish federal courts lower than the Supreme Court . The U.S. Supreme Court adjudicates `` cases and controversies '' -- matters pertaining to the federal government , disputes between states , and interpretation of the United States Constitution , and , in general , can declare legislation or executive action made at any level of the government as unconstitutional , nullifying the law and creating precedent for future law and decisions . The United States Constitution does not specifically mention the power of judicial review ( the power to declare a law unconstitutional ) . The power of judicial review was asserted by Chief Justice Marshall in the landmark Supreme Court Case Marbury v. Madison ( 1803 ) . There have been instances in the past where such declarations have been ignored by the other two branches . Below the U.S. Supreme Court are the United States Courts of Appeals , and below them in turn are the United States District Courts , which are the general trial courts for federal law , and for certain controversies between litigants who are not deemed citizens of the same state ( `` diversity jurisdiction '' ) . There are three levels of federal courts with general jurisdiction , meaning that these courts handle criminal cases and civil lawsuits between individuals . Other courts , such as the bankruptcy courts and the Tax Court , are specialized courts handling only certain kinds of cases ( `` subject matter jurisdiction '' ) . The Bankruptcy Courts are `` under '' the supervision of the district courts , and , as such , are not considered part of the `` Article III '' judiciary and also as such their judges do not have lifetime tenure , nor are they Constitutionally exempt from diminution of their remuneration . Also the Tax Court is not an Article III court ( but is , instead an `` Article I Court '' ) . The district courts are the trial courts wherein cases that are considered under the Judicial Code ( Title 28 , United States Code ) consistent with the jurisdictional precepts of `` federal question jurisdiction '' and `` diversity jurisdiction '' and `` pendent jurisdiction '' can be filed and decided . The district courts can also hear cases under `` removal jurisdiction '' , wherein a case brought in State court meets the requirements for diversity jurisdiction , and one party litigant chooses to `` remove '' the case from state court to federal court . The United States Courts of Appeals are appellate courts that hear appeals of cases decided by the district courts , and some direct appeals from administrative agencies , and some interlocutory appeals . The U.S. Supreme Court hears appeals from the decisions of the courts of appeals or state supreme courts , and in addition has original jurisdiction over a few cases . The judicial power extends to cases arising under the Constitution , an Act of Congress ; a U.S. treaty ; cases affecting ambassadors , ministers and consuls of foreign countries in the U.S. ; cases and controversies to which the federal government is a party ; controversies between states ( or their citizens ) and foreign nations ( or their citizens or subjects ) ; and bankruptcy cases ( collectively `` federal - question jurisdiction '' ) . The Eleventh Amendment removed from federal jurisdiction cases in which citizens of one state were the plaintiffs and the government of another state was the defendant . It did not disturb federal jurisdiction in cases in which a state government is a plaintiff and a citizen of another state the defendant . The power of the federal courts extends both to civil actions for damages and other redress , and to criminal cases arising under federal law . The interplay of the Supremacy Clause and Article III has resulted in a complex set of relationships between state and federal courts . Federal courts can sometimes hear cases arising under state law pursuant to diversity jurisdiction , state courts can decide certain matters involving federal law , and a handful of federal claims are primarily reserved by federal statute to the state courts ( for example , those arising from the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 ) . Both court systems thus can be said to have exclusive jurisdiction in some areas and concurrent jurisdiction in others . The U.S. Constitution safeguards judicial independence by providing that federal judges shall hold office `` during good behavior '' ; in practice , this usually means they serve until they die , retire , or resign . A judge who commits an offense while in office may be impeached in the same way as the president or other officials of the federal government . U.S. judges are appointed by the president , subject to confirmation by the Senate . Another Constitutional provision prohibits Congress from reducing the pay of any Article III judge ( Congress is able to set a lower salary for all future judges that take office after the reduction , but may not decrease the rate of pay for judges already in office ) . Relationships between state and federal courts Separate from , but not entirely independent of , this federal court system are the court systems of each state , each dealing with , in addition to federal law when not deemed preempted , a state 's own laws , and having its own court rules and procedures . Although state governments and the federal government are legally dual sovereigns , the Supreme Court of the United States is in many cases the appellate court from the State Supreme Courts ( e.g. , absent the Court countenancing the applicability of the doctrine of adequate and independent State grounds ) . The Supreme Courts of each state are by this doctrine the final authority on the interpretation of the applicable state 's laws and Constitution . Many state constitution provisions are equal in breadth to those of the U.S. Constitution , but are considered `` parallel '' ( thus , where , for example , the right to privacy pursuant to a state constitution is broader than the federal right to privacy , and the asserted ground is explicitly held to be `` independent '' , the question can be finally decided in a State Supreme Court -- the U.S. Supreme Court will decline to take jurisdiction ) . A State Supreme Court , other than of its own accord , is bound only by the U.S. Supreme Court 's interpretation of federal law , but is not bound by interpretation of federal law by the federal court of appeals for the federal circuit in which the state is included , or even the federal district courts located in the state , a result of the dual sovereigns concept . Conversely , a federal district court hearing a matter involving only a question of state law ( usually through diversity jurisdiction ) must apply the substantive law of the state in which the court sits , a result of the application of the Erie Doctrine ; however , at the same time , the case is heard under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure , the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence instead of state procedural rules ( that is , the application of the Erie Doctrine only extends to a requirement that a federal court asserting diversity jurisdiction apply substantive state law , but not procedural state law , which may be different ) . Together , the laws of the federal and state governments form U.S. law . Elections and voting Main article : Elections in the United States Diagram of the Federal Government and American Union , 1862 . Suffrage , commonly known as the ability to vote , has changed significantly over time . In the early years of the United States , voting was considered a matter for state governments , and was commonly restricted to white men who owned land . Direct elections were mostly held only for the U.S. House of Representatives and state legislatures , although what specific bodies were elected by the electorate varied from state to state . Under this original system , both senators representing each state in the U.S. Senate were chosen by a majority vote of the state legislature . Since the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913 , members of both houses of Congress have been directly elected . Today , U.S. citizens have almost universal suffrage under equal protection of the laws from the age of 18 , regardless of race , gender , or wealth . The only significant exception to this is the disenfranchisement of convicted felons , and in some states former felons as well . Under the U.S. Constitution , the national representation of U.S. territories and the federal district of Washington , D.C. in Congress is limited : while residents of the District of Columbia are subject to federal laws and federal taxes , their only congressional representative is a non-voting delegate ; however , they have been allowed to participate in presidential elections since March 29 , 1961 . Residents of U.S. territories have varying rights ; for example , only some residents of Puerto Rico pay federal income taxes ( though all residents must pay all other federal taxes , including import / export taxes , federal commodity taxes and federal payroll taxes , including Social Security and Medicare ) . All federal laws that are `` not locally inapplicable '' are automatically the law of the land in Puerto Rico but their current representation in the U.S. Congress is in the form of a Resident Commissioner , a nonvoting delegate . State , tribal , and local governments Main articles : State governments of the United States , Tribal sovereignty in the United States , and Local government in the United States The states of the United States as divided into counties ( or , in Louisiana and Alaska , parishes and boroughs , respectively ) . Alaska and Hawaii are not to scale and the Aleutian and uninhabited Northwestern Hawaiian Islands have been omitted . The state governments tend to have the greatest influence over most Americans ' daily lives . The Tenth Amendment prohibits the federal government from exercising any power not delegated to it by the States in the Constitution ; as a result , states handle the majority of issues most relevant to individuals within their jurisdiction . Because state governments are not authorized to print currency , they generally have to raise revenue through either taxes or bonds . As a result , state governments tend to impose severe budget cuts or raise taxes any time the economy is faltering . Each state has its own written constitution , government and code of laws . The Constitution stipulates only that each state must have , `` a Republican Government '' . Therefore , there are often great differences in law and procedure between individual states , concerning issues such as property , crime , health and education , amongst others . The highest elected official of each state is the Governor . Each state also has an elected state legislature ( bicameralism is a feature of every state except Nebraska ) , whose members represent the voters of the state . Each state maintains its own state court system . In some states , supreme and lower court justices are elected by the people ; in others , they are appointed , as they are in the federal system . As a result of the Supreme Court case Worcester v. Georgia , American Indian tribes are considered `` domestic dependent nations '' that operate as sovereign governments subject to federal authority but , in some cases , outside of the jurisdiction of state governments . Hundreds of laws , executive orders and court cases have modified the governmental status of tribes vis - à - vis individual states , but the two have continued to be recognized as separate bodies . Tribal governments vary in robustness , from a simple council used to manage all aspects of tribal affairs , to large and complex bureaucracies with several branches of government . Tribes are currently encouraged to form their own governments , with power resting in elected tribal councils , elected tribal chairpersons , or religiously appointed leaders ( as is the case with pueblos ) . Tribal citizenship and voting rights are typically restricted to individuals of native descent , but tribes are free to set whatever citizenship requirements they wish . The institutions that are responsible for local government within states are typically town , city , or county boards , water management districts , fire management districts , library districts and other similar governmental units which make laws that affect their particular area . These laws concern issues such as traffic , the sale of alcohol and the keeping of animals . The highest elected official of a town or city is usually the mayor . In New England , towns operate in a direct democratic fashion , and in some states , such as Rhode Island , Connecticut , and some parts of Massachusetts , counties have little or no power , existing only as geographic distinctions . In other areas , county governments have more power , such as to collect taxes and maintain law enforcement agencies .

Archived April 29 , 2011 , at the Wayback Machine .

In addition , because the cutoff point for income taxation is lower than that of the U.S. IRS code , and because the per - capita income in Puerto Rico is much lower than the average per - capita income on the mainland , more Puerto Rico residents pay income taxes to the local taxation authority than if the IRS code were applied to the island . This occurs because `` the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico government has a wider set of responsibilities than do U.S. State and local governments '' ( See GAO.gov ) . As residents of Puerto Rico pay into Social Security , Puerto Ricans are eligible for Social Security benefits upon retirement , but are excluded from the Supplemental Security Income ( SSI ) ( Commonwealth of Puerto Rico residents , unlike residents of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and residents of the 50 States , do not receive the SSI . See Socialsecurity.gov ) , and the island actually receives less than 15 % of the Medicaid funding it would normally receive if it were a U.S. state . However , Medicare providers receive less - than - full state - like reimbursements for services rendered to beneficiaries in Puerto Rico , even though the latter paid fully into the system ( See p. 252 ) . Archived May 11 , 2011 , at the Wayback Machine . It has also been estimated ( See Eagleforum.org that , because the population of the island is greater than that of 50 % of the states , if it were a state , Puerto Rico would have six to eight seats in the House , in addition to the two seats in the Senate. ( See Eagleforum.org , CRF-USA.org Archived June 10 , 2009 , at the Wayback Machine . and Thomas.gov ( Note that for the later , the official US Congress database website , you will need to resubmit a query .

Another misconception is that the import / export taxes collected by the U.S. on products manufactured in Puerto Rico are all returned to the Puerto Rico Treasury . This is not the case . Such import / export taxes are returned only for rum products , and even then the US Treasury keeps a portion of those taxes ( See the `` House Report 110 - 597 -- Puerto Rico Democracy Act of 2007 '' mentioned above . ) Jump up ^ `` A brief overview of state fiscal conditions and the effects of federal policies on state budgets '' ( PDF ) .

It is located mainly in the Himalayas but also includes parts of the Indo - Gangetic Plain . With an estimated population of 26.4 million , it is 48th largest country by population and 93rd largest country by area . It borders China in the north and India in the south , east , and west while Bangladesh is located within only 27 km ( 17 mi ) of its southeastern tip and Bhutan is separated from it by the Indian state of Sikkim . Nepal has a diverse geography , including fertile plains , subalpine forested hills , and eight of the world 's ten tallest mountains , including Mount Everest , the highest point on Earth . Kathmandu is the nation 's capital and largest city . Nepal is a multiethnic nation with Nepali as the official language . The name `` Nepal '' is first recorded in texts from the Vedic Age , the era in which Hinduism was founded , the predominant religion of the country . In the middle of the first millennium BCE , Gautama Buddha , the founder of Buddhism , was born in southern Nepal . Parts of northern Nepal were intertwined with the culture of Tibet . The centrally located Kathmandu Valley was the seat of the prosperous Newar confederacy known as Nepal Mandala . The Himalayan branch of the ancient Silk Road was dominated by the valley 's traders . The cosmopolitan region developed distinct traditional art and architecture . By the 18th century , the Gorkha Kingdom achieved the unification of Nepal . The Shah dynasty established the Kingdom of Nepal and later formed an alliance with the British Empire , under its Rana dynasty of premiers . The country was never colonised but served as a buffer state between Imperial China and colonial India . Parliamentary democracy was introduced in 1951 , but was twice suspended by Nepalese monarchs , in 1960 and 2005 . The Nepalese Civil War in the 1990s and early 2000s resulted in the proclamation of a secular republic in 2008 , ending the world 's last Hindu monarchy . The Constitution of Nepal , adopted in 2015 , establishes Nepal as a federal secular parliamentary republic divided into seven provinces . Nepal was admitted to the United Nations in 1955 , and friendship treaties were signed with India in 1950 and the People 's Republic of China in 1960 . Nepal hosts the permanent secretariat of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation ( SAARC ) , of which it is a founding member . Nepal is also a member of the Non Aligned Movement and the Bay of Bengal Initiative . The military of Nepal is the fifth largest in South Asia ; it is notable for its Gurkha history , particularly during the world wars , and has been a significant contributor to United Nations peacekeeping operations .

It is mentioned in Vedic texts that this region was called Nepal centuries ago . According to the Skanda Purana , a rishi called `` Nemi '' used to live in the Himalayas . In the Pashupati Purana , he is mentioned as a saint and a protector . He is said to have practised meditation at the Bagmati and Kesavati rivers and to have taught there . The name of the country is also identical in origin to the name of the Newar people . The terms `` Nepāl '' , `` Newār '' , `` Newāl '' and `` Nepār '' are phonetically different forms of the same word , and instances of the various forms appear in texts in different times in history . Nepal is the learned Sanskrit form and Newar is the colloquial Prakrit form . A Sanskrit inscription dated 512 CE found in Tistung , a valley to the west of Kathmandu , contains the phrase `` greetings to the Nepals '' indicating that the term `` Nepal '' was used to refer to both the country and the people . It has been suggested that `` Nepal '' may be a Sanskritization of `` Newar '' , or `` Newar '' may be a later form of `` Nepal '' . According to another explanation , the words `` Newar '' and `` Newari '' are vulgarisms arising from the mutation of P to V , and L to R . History Main article : History of Nepal Lumbini , listed as the birthplace of Gautama Buddha by the UNESCO World Heritage Convention Ancient Neolithic tools found in the Kathmandu Valley indicate that people have been living in the Himalayan region for at least eleven thousand years . Nepal is first mentioned in the late Vedic Atharvaveda Pariśiṣṭa as a place exporting blankets , and in the post-Vedic Atharvashirsha Upanishad . In Samudragupta 's Allahabad Pillar it is mentioned as a border country . The Skanda Purana has a separate chapter known as `` Nepal Mahatmya '' , which explains in more detail about the beauty and power of Nepal . Nepal is also mentioned in Hindu texts such as the Narayana Puja . Legends and ancient texts that mention the region now known as Nepal reach back to the 30th century BC . The Gopal Bansa were likely one of the earliest inhabitants of Kathmandu valley . The earliest rulers of Nepal were the Kiratas ( Kirata Kingdom ) , peoples often mentioned in Hindu texts , who ruled Nepal for many centuries . Various sources mention up to 32 Kirati kings . Around 500 BCE , small kingdoms and confederations of clans arose in the southern regions of Nepal . From one of these , the Shakya polity , arose a prince who later renounced his status to lead an ascetic life , founded Buddhism , and came to be known as Gautama Buddha ( traditionally dated 563 -- 483 BCE ) . By 250 BCE , the southern regions had come under the influence of the Maurya Empire of North India and later became a vassal state under the Gupta Empire in the 4th century CE . There is a quite detailed description of the kingdom of Nepal in the account of the renowned Chinese Buddhist pilgrim monk Xuanzang , dating from about 645 CE . Stone inscriptions in the Kathmandu Valley are important sources for the history of Nepal . The kings of the Lichhavi dynasty have been found to have ruled Nepal after the Kirat monarchical dynasty . The context that `` Suryavansi Kshetriyas had established a new regime by defeating the Kirats '' can be found in some genealogies and Puranas . It is not clear yet when the Lichhavi dynasty was established in Nepal . According to the opinion of Baburam Acharya , the prominent historian of Nepal , Lichhavies established their independent rule by abolishing the Kirati state that prevailed in Nepal around 250 CE . The Licchavi dynasty went into decline in the late 8th century , and was followed by a Newar or Thakuri era . Thakuri kings ruled over the country up to the middle of the 12th century CE ; King Raghav Dev is said to have founded the ruling dynasty in October 869 CE . King Raghav Dev also started the Nepal Sambat . Medieval Main articles : Malla ( Nepal ) and Khasa kingdom Tara , ca . 13th century , Nepal , Walters Art Museum Basantpur royal complex In the early 12th century , leaders emerged in far western Nepal whose names ended with the Sanskrit suffix malla ( `` wrestler '' ) . These kings consolidated their power and ruled over the next 200 years , until the kingdom splintered into two dozen petty states . Another Malla dynasty beginning with Jayasthiti emerged in the Kathmandu valley in the late 14th century , and much of central Nepal again came under a unified rule . In 1482 , the realm was divided into three kingdoms : Kathmandu , Patan , and Bhaktapur . Kingdom of Nepal ( 1768 -- 2008 ) Main article : Kingdom of Nepal A ceremonial crown of Nepalese royalty Sino - Nepalese War King Tribhuvan giving an audience to British general Claude Auchinleck at the royal palace in Kathmandu , 1945 Elvis Presley with King Mahendra and Queen Ratna of Nepal in 1960 Prime Minister of Israel David Ben Gurion and Prime Minister of Nepal B.P. Koirala In the mid-18th century , Prithvi Narayan Shah , a Gorkha king , set out to put together what would become present - day Nepal . He embarked on his mission by securing the neutrality of the bordering mountain kingdoms . After several bloody battles and sieges , notably the Battle of Kirtipur , he managed to conquer the Kathmandu Valley in 1769 . A detailed account of Prithvi Narayan Shah 's victory was written by Father Giuseppe , an eyewitness to the war . The Gorkha control reached its height when the North Indian territories of the Kumaon and Garhwal Kingdoms in the west to Sikkim in the east came under Nepalese control . A dispute with Tibet over the control of mountain passes and inner Tingri valleys of Tibet forced the Qing Emperor of China to start the Sino - Nepali War compelling the Nepali to retreat and pay heavy reparations to Peking . Rivalry between the Kingdom of Nepal and the East India Company over the control of states bordering Nepal eventually led to the Anglo - Nepali War ( 1815 -- 16 ) . At first , the British underestimated the Nepali and were soundly defeated until committing more military resources than they had anticipated needing . They were greatly impressed by the valour and competence of their adversaries . Thus began the reputation of Gurkhas as fierce and ruthless soldiers . The war ended in the Sugauli Treaty , under which Nepal ceded recently captured lands as well as the right to recruit soldiers . Madhesis , having supported the East India Company during the war , had their lands gifted to Nepal . Factionalism inside the royal family led to a period of instability . In 1846 , a plot was discovered revealing that the reigning queen had planned to overthrow Jung Bahadur Kunwar , a fast - rising military leader . This led to the Kot massacre ; armed clashes between military personnel and administrators loyal to the queen led to the execution of several hundred princes and chieftains around the country . Jung Bahadur Kunwar emerged victorious and founded the Rana dynasty , later known as Jung Bahadur Rana . The king was made a titular figure , and the post of Prime Minister was made powerful and hereditary . The Ranas were staunchly pro-British and assisted them during the Indian Rebellion of 1857 ( and later in both World Wars ) . Some parts of the Terai region populated with non-Nepali peoples were gifted to Nepal by the British as a friendly gesture because of her military help to sustain British control in India during the rebellion . In 1923 , the United Kingdom and Nepal formally signed an agreement of friendship that superseded the Sugauli Treaty of 1816 . Legalized slavery was abolished in Nepal in 1924 . Nevertheless , an estimated 234,600 people are enslaved in modern - day Nepal , or 0.82 % of the population . Debt bondage even involving debtors ' children has been a persistent social problem in the Terai . Rana rule was marked by tyranny , debauchery , economic exploitation and religious persecution . In the late 1940s , newly emerging pro-democracy movements and political parties in Nepal were critical of the Rana autocracy . Meanwhile , with the invasion of Tibet by China in the 1950s , India sought to counterbalance the perceived military threat from its northern neighbour by taking pre-emptive steps to assert more influence in Nepal . India sponsored both King Tribhuvan ( ruled 1911 -- 55 ) as Nepal 's new ruler in 1951 and a new government , mostly comprising the Nepali Congress , thus terminating Rana hegemony in the kingdom . After years of power wrangling between the king and the government , King Mahendra ( ruled 1955 -- 72 ) scrapped the democratic experiment in 1959 , and a `` partyless '' Panchayat system was made to govern Nepal until 1989 , when the `` Jan Andolan '' ( People 's Movement ) forced King Birendra ( ruled 1972 -- 2001 ) to accept constitutional reforms and to establish a multiparty parliament that took seat in May 1991 . In 1991 -- 92 , Bhutan expelled roughly 100,000 Bhutanese citizens of Nepali descent , most of whom have been living in seven refugee camps in eastern Nepal ever since . In 1996 , the Communist Party of Nepal started a violent bid to replace the royal parliamentary system with a people 's republic . This led to the long Nepali Civil War and more than 12,000 deaths . On 1 June 2001 , there was a massacre in the royal palace . King Birendra , Queen Aishwarya and seven other members of the royal family were killed . The alleged perpetrator was Crown Prince Dipendra , who allegedly committed suicide ( he died three days later ) shortly thereafter . This outburst was alleged to have been Dipendra 's response to his parents ' refusal to accept his choice of wife . Nevertheless , there is speculation and doubts among Nepali citizens about who was responsible . Following the carnage , King Birendra 's brother Gyanendra inherited the throne . On 1 February 2005 , King Gyanendra dismissed the entire government and assumed full executive powers to quash the violent Maoist movement , but this initiative was unsuccessful because a stalemate had developed in which the Maoists were firmly entrenched in large expanses of countryside but could not yet dislodge the military from numerous towns and the largest cities . In September 2005 , the Maoists declared a three - month unilateral ceasefire to negotiate . In response to the 2006 democracy movement , King Gyanendra agreed to relinquish sovereign power to the people . On 24 April 2006 the dissolved House of Representatives was reinstated . Using its newly acquired sovereign authority , on 18 May 2006 the House of Representatives unanimously voted to curtail the power of the king and declared Nepal a secular state , ending its time - honoured official status as a Hindu Kingdom . On 28 December 2007 , a bill was passed in parliament to amend Article 159 of the constitution -- replacing `` Provisions regarding the King '' by `` Provisions of the Head of the State '' -- declaring Nepal a federal republic , and thereby abolishing the monarchy . The bill came into force on 28 May 2008 . Republic of Nepal ( 2008 -- present ) The Unified Communist Party of Nepal ( Maoist ) won the largest number of seats in the Constituent Assembly election held on 10 April 2008 , and formed a coalition government , which included most of the parties in the CA . Although acts of violence occurred during the pre-electoral period , election observers noted that the elections themselves were markedly peaceful and `` well - carried out '' . Dr. Ram Baran Yadav , the first President of Nepal The newly elected Assembly met in Kathmandu on 28 May 2008 , and , after a polling of 564 constituent Assembly members , 560 voted to form a new government , with the monarchist Rastriya Prajatantra Party , which had four members in the assembly , registering a dissenting note . At that point , it was declared that Nepal had become a secular and inclusive democratic republic , with the government announcing a three - day public holiday from 28 -- 30 May . The king was thereafter given 15 days to vacate Narayanhity Palace so it could reopen as a public museum . Nonetheless , political tensions and consequent power - sharing battles have continued in Nepal . In May 2009 , the Maoist - led government was toppled and another coalition government with all major political parties barring the Maoists was formed . Madhav Kumar Nepal of the Communist Party of Nepal ( Unified Marxist -- Leninist ) was made the Prime Minister of the coalition government . In February 2011 the Madhav Kumar Nepal Government was toppled and Jhala Nath Khanal of the Communist Party of Nepal ( Unified Marxist -- Leninist ) was made the Prime Minister . In August 2011 the Jhala Nath Khanal Government was toppled and Baburam Bhattarai of the Communist Party of Nepal ( Maoist ) was made the Prime Minister . The political parties were unable to draft a constitution in the stipulated time . This led to dissolution of the Constituent Assembly to pave way for new elections to strive for a new political mandate . In opposition to the theory of separation of powers , then Chief Justice Khil Raj Regmi was made the chairman of the caretaker government . Under Regmi , the nation saw peaceful elections for the constituent assembly . The major forces in the earlier constituent assembly ( namely CPN Maoists and Madhesi parties ) dropped to distant 3rd and even below . In February 2014 , after consensus was reached between the two major parties in the constituent assembly , Sushil Koirala was sworn in as the new prime minister of Nepal . On 25 April 2015 , a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck Nepal . Two weeks later , on 12 May , another earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 hit Nepal , which left more than 8,500 people dead and about 21,000 , injured . In 20 September 2015 , a new constitution , the `` Constitution of Nepal 2015 '' ( Nepali : नेपालको संविधान २०७२ ) was announced by President Ram Baran Yadav in the constituent assembly . The constituent assembly was transformed into a legislative parliament by the then - chairman of that assembly . The new constitution of Nepal has changed Nepal practically into a federal democratic republic by making 7 unnamed states . In October 2015 , Bidhya Devi Bhandari was nominated as the first female president . Geography Main article : Geography of Nepal A map of Nepal . A topographic map of Nepal . Nepal map of Köppen climate classification . Nepal is of roughly trapezoidal shape , 800 kilometres ( 500 mi ) long and 200 kilometres ( 120 mi ) wide , with an area of 147,181 km ( 56,827 sq mi ) . See ( ( List of political and geographic subdivisions by total area from 100,000 to 1,000,000 km List of territories by size ) ) for the comparative size of Nepal . It lies between latitudes 26 ° and 31 ° N , and longitudes 80 ° and 89 ° E . Nepal is commonly divided into three physiographic areas : Himal , Pahad and Terai . These ecological belts run east -- west and are vertically intersected by Nepal 's major , north to south flowing river systems . The southern lowland plains or Terai bordering India are part of the northern rim of the Indo - Gangetic Plain . Terai is a lowland region containing some hill ranges . The plains were formed and are fed by three major Himalayan rivers : the Kosi , the Narayani , and the Karnali as well as smaller rivers rising below the permanent snowline . This region has a subtropical to tropical climate . The outermost range of foothills called Sivalik Hills or Churia Range , cresting at 700 to 1,000 metres ( 2,300 to 3,280 ft ) , marks the limit of the Gangetic Plain ; however broad , low valleys called Inner Tarai Valleys ( Bhitri Tarai Uptyaka ) lie north of these foothills in several places . Pahad is a mountain region that does not generally contain snow . The mountains vary from 800 to 4,000 metres ( 2,600 to 13,100 ft ) in altitude with progression from subtropical climates below 1,200 metres ( 3,900 ft ) to alpine climates above 3,600 metres ( 11,800 ft ) . The Lower Himalayan Range , reaching 1,500 to 3,000 metres ( 4,900 to 9,800 ft ) , is the southern limit of this region , with subtropical river valleys and `` hills '' alternating to the north of this range . Population density is high in valleys but notably less above 2,000 metres ( 6,600 ft ) and very low above 2,500 metres ( 8,200 ft ) , where snow occasionally falls in winter . Himal is the mountain region containing snow and situated in the Great Himalayan Range ; it makes up the northern part of Nepal . It contains the highest elevations in the world including 8,848 metres ( 29,029 ft ) height Mount Everest ( Sagarmāthā in Nepali ) on the border with China . Seven other of the world 's `` eight - thousanders '' are in Nepal or on its border with China : Lhotse , Makalu , Cho Oyu , Kangchenjunga , Dhaulagiri , Annapurna and Manaslu . Climate Nepal has five climatic zones , broadly corresponding to the altitudes . The tropical and subtropical zones lie below 1,200 metres ( 3,900 ft ) , the temperate zone 1,200 to 2,400 metres ( 3,900 to 7,900 ft ) , the cold zone 2,400 to 3,600 metres ( 7,900 to 11,800 ft ) , the subarctic zone 3,600 to 4,400 metres ( 11,800 to 14,400 ft ) , and the Arctic zone above 4,400 metres ( 14,400 ft ) . Nepal experiences five seasons : summer , monsoon , autumn , winter and spring . The Himalaya blocks cold winds from Central Asia in the winter and forms the northern limit of the monsoon wind patterns . In a land once thickly forested , deforestation is a major problem in all regions , with resulting erosion and degradation of ecosystems . Nepal is popular for mountaineering , having some of the highest and most challenging mountains in the world , including Mount Everest . Technically , the southeast ridge on the Nepali side of the mountain is easier to climb , so most climbers prefer to trek to Everest through Nepal .

The collision between the Indian subcontinent and Eurasia , which started in the Paleogene period and continues today , produced the Himalaya and the Tibetan Plateau . Nepal lies completely within this collision zone , occupying the central sector of the Himalayan arc , nearly one third of the 2,400 km ( 1,500 mi ) - long Himalayas . The Indian plate continues to move north relative to Asia at about 50 mm ( 2.0 in ) per year . This is about twice the speed at which human fingernails grow , which is very fast given the size of the blocks of Earth 's crust involved . As the strong Indian continental crust subducts beneath the relatively weak Tibetan crust , it pushes up the Himalayan Mountains . This collision zone has accommodated huge amounts of crustal shortening as the rock sequences slide one over another . Based on a study published in 2014 , of the Main Frontal Thrust , on average a great earthquake occurs every 750 ± 140 and 870 ± 350 years in the east Nepal region . A study from 2015 found a 700 - year delay between earthquakes in the region . The study also suggests that because of tectonic stress transfer , the earthquake from 1934 in Nepal and the 2015 earthquake are connected -- following a historic earthquake pattern . Erosion of the Himalayas is a very important source of sediment , which flows to the Indian Ocean via several great rivers : the Indus , Ganges , and Brahmaputra River systems . Environment The dramatic differences in elevation found in Nepal result in a variety of biomes , from tropical savannas along the Indian border , to subtropical broadleaf and coniferous forests in the Hill Region , to temperate broadleaf and coniferous forests on the slopes of the Himalaya , to montane grasslands and shrublands and rock and ice at the highest elevations . At the lowest elevations is the Terai - Duar savanna and grasslands ecoregion . These form a mosaic with the Himalayan subtropical broadleaf forests , which occur from 500 to 1,000 metres ( 1,600 to 3,300 ft ) and include the Inner Terai Valleys . Himalayan subtropical pine forests occur between 1,000 and 2,000 metres ( 3,300 and 6,600 ft ) . Above these elevations , the biogeography of Nepal is generally divided from east to west by the Gandaki River . Ecoregions to the east tend to receive more precipitation and to be more species - rich . Those to the west are drier with fewer species . From 1,500 to 3,000 metres ( 4,900 to 9,800 ft ) , are temperate broadleaf forests : the eastern and western Himalayan broadleaf forests . From 3,000 to 4,000 metres ( 9,800 to 13,100 ft ) are the eastern and western Himalayan subalpine conifer forests . To 5,500 metres ( 18,000 ft ) are the eastern and western Himalayan alpine shrub and meadows . Landscapes and Climates of Nepal NASA Landsat - 7 Image of Nepal .

Up until 1990 , Nepal was a monarchy under executive control of the King . Faced with a communist movement against absolute monarchy , King Birendra , in 1990 , agreed to a large - scale political reform by creating a parliamentary monarchy with the king as the head of state and a prime minister as the head of the government . Nepal 's legislature was bicameral , consisting of a House of Representatives called the Pratinidhi Sabha and a National Council called the Rastriya Sabha . The House of Representatives consisted of 205 members directly elected by the people . The National Council had 60 members : ten nominated by the king , 35 elected by the House of Representatives , and the remaining 15 elected by an electoral college made up of chairs of villages and towns . The legislature had a five - year term but was dissolvable by the king before its term could end . All Nepali citizens 18 years and older became eligible to vote . The executive comprised the King and the Council of Ministers ( the cabinet ) . The leader of the coalition or party securing the maximum seats in an election was appointed as the Prime Minister . The Cabinet was appointed by the king on the recommendation of the Prime Minister . Governments in Nepal tended to be highly unstable , falling either through internal collapse or parliamentary dissolution by the monarch , on the recommendation of the prime minister , according to the constitution ; no government has survived for more than two years since 1991 . A popular democratic movement in April 2006 brought about a change in the nation 's governance : an interim constitution was promulgated , with the King giving up power , and an interim House of Representatives was formed with Maoist members after the new government held peace talks with the Maoist rebels . The number of parliamentary seats was also increased to 330 . In April 2007 , the Communist Party of Nepal ( Maoist ) joined the interim government of Nepal . In December 2007 , the interim parliament passed a bill making Nepal a federal republic , with a president as head of state . Elections for the constitutional assembly were held on 10 April 2008 ; the Maoist party led the results but did not achieve a simple majority of seats . The new parliament adopted the 2007 bill at its first meeting by an overwhelming majority , and King Gyanendra was given 15 days to leave the Royal Palace in central Kathmandu . He left on 11 June . On 26 June 2008 , the prime minister Girija Prasad Koirala , who had served as Acting Head of State since January 2007 , announced that he would resign on the election of the country 's first president by the Constituent Assembly . The first round of voting , on 19 July 2008 , saw Parmanand Jha win election as Nepali vice-president , but neither of the contenders for president received the required 298 votes and a second round was held two days later . Ram Baran Yadav of the Nepali Congress party defeated Maoist - backed Ram Raja Prasad Singh with 308 of the 590 votes cast . Koirala submitted his resignation to the new president after Yadav 's swearing - in ceremony on 23 July 2008 . Prachanda speaking at a rally in Pokhara . On 15 August 2008 , Maoist leader Prachanda ( Pushpa Kamal Dahal ) was elected Prime Minister of Nepal , the first since the country 's transition from a monarchy to a republic . On 4 May 2009 , Dahal resigned over on - going conflicts with regard to the sacking of the Army chief . Since Dahal 's resignation , the country has been in a serious political deadlock with one of the big issues being the proposed integration of the former Maoist combatants , also known as the People 's Liberation Army , into the national security forces . After Dahal , Jhala Nath Khanal of CPN ( UML ) was elected the Prime Minister . Khanal was forced to step down as he could not succeed in carrying forward the Peace Process and the constitution writing . On August 2011 , Maoist Babu Ram Bhattarai became third Prime Minister after the election of constituent assembly . On 24 May 2012 , Nepals 's Deputy PM Krishna Sitaula resigned . On 27 May 2012 , the country 's Constituent Assembly failed to meet the deadline for writing a new constitution for the country . Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai announced that new elections would be held thar later year . `` We have no other option but to go back to the people and elect a new assembly to write the constitution , '' he said in a nationally televised speech . One of the main obstacles has been disagreement over whether the states that will be created will be based on ethnicity . This election was delayed by the Election Commission for a year , eventually occurring in late 2013 and electing the country 's Second Constituent Assembly . This assembly promulgated the extant Constitution of Nepal in 2015 . Nepal is one of the few countries in Asia to abolish the death penalty . Nepal is the only Asian country where the possibility of same - sex marriage has been proposed in the high court and in the legislature although same - sex marriage currently does not exist in Nepal ( see also LGBT rights in Nepal and Same - sex marriage in Nepal ) . The decision was based on a seven - person government committee study , and enacted through Supreme Court 's ruling November 2008 . The ruling granted full rights for LGBT individuals , including the right to marry , and Nepalese now can get citizenship as a third gender rather than male or female as authorised by Nepal 's Supreme Court in 2007 . Government Main articles : Government of Nepal and Constitution of Nepal Nepal is governed according to the Constitution of Nepal , which came into effect on 20 September 2015 , replacing the Interim Constitution of 2007 . The Constitution was drafted by the Second Constituent Assembly following the failure of the First Constituent Assembly to produce a constitution in its mandated period . The constitution is the fundamental law of Nepal . It defines Nepal as having multi-ethnic , multi-lingual , multi-religious , multi-cultural characteristics with common aspirations of people living in diverse geographical regions , and being committed to and united by a bond of allegiance to the national independence , territorial integrity , national interest , and prosperity of Nepal . All Nepali people collectively constitute the nation . Entrance to Singha Durbar , the seat of the Nepali government in Kathmandu The Constitution of Nepal has defined three organs of the government . Executive : The form of governance of Nepal is a multi-party , competitive , federal democratic republican parliamentary system based on plurality . The executive power of Nepal rests with the Council of Ministers in accordance with the Constitution and Nepali law . The President appoints the parliamentary party leader of the political party with the majority in the House of Representatives as a Prime Minister , and a Council of Ministers is formed in his / her chairmanship . The executive power of the provinces , pursuant to the Constitution and laws , is vested in the Council of Ministers of the province . The executive power of the province shall be exercised by the province Head in case of absence of the province Executive in a State of Emergency or enforcement of Federal rule . Every province has a ceremonial Head as the representative of the Federal government . The President appoints a Governor for every province . The Governor exercises the rights and duties as specified in the constitution or laws . The Governor appoints the leader of the parliamentary party with the majority in the Provincial Assembly as the Chief Minister and the Council of Ministers are formed under the chairpersonship of the Chief Minister . Legislative : The Legislature of Nepal , called Federal Parliament , consisting of two Houses , namely the House of Representatives and the National Assembly . Except when dissolved earlier , the term of House of Representatives is five years . The House of Representatives consist of 275 members : 165 members elected through the first - past - the - post electoral system consisting of one member from each of the one hundred and sixty five electoral constituencies formed by dividing Nepal into 165 constituencies based on geography and population ; 110 elected from proportional representation electoral system where voters vote for parties , while treating the whole country as a single electoral constituency . The National Assembly is a permanent house . The tenure of members of National Assembly is six years . The National Assembly consists of 59 members : 56 members elected from an Electoral College , comprising members of provincial Assembly and chairpersons and vice-chairpersons of Village councils and Mayors and Deputy Mayors of Municipal councils , with different weights of votes for each , with eight members from each state , including at least three women , one Dalit , and one person with a disability or a member of a minority . 3 members , including at least one woman , are to be nominated by the President on the recommendation of the Government of Nepal . A Pradesh Sabha or Provincial Assembly is the unicameral legislative assembly for a federal province . The term for the Provincial Assembly is five years , except when dissolved earlier . Judicial : Powers relating to justice in Nepal are exercised by courts and other judicial institutions in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution , other laws , and recognised principles of justice . Nepal has a unitary three - tier independent judiciary that comprises the Supreme Court , headed by the Chief Justice of Nepal , 7 High Courts , and a large number of trial courts . Administrative divisions Main article : Administrative divisions of Nepal As of 3 April 2018 , Nepal is divided into 7 provinces and 77 districts . It has 753 local units . There are 6 metropolises , 11 sub-metropolises , 276 municipal councils , and 460 village councils for official works . The constitution grants 22 absolute powers to the local units while they share 15 more powers with the central and state governments .

Gurkha Memorial , London Nepal has close ties with both of its neighbors , India and China . In accordance with a long - standing treaty , Indian and Nepali citizens may travel to each other 's countries without a passport or visa . Nepali citizens may work in India without legal restriction . The Indian Army maintains seven Gorkha regiments consisting of Gorkha troops recruited mostly from Nepal . However , in the years since the Government of Nepal has been communised and dominated by socialists , and India 's government has been controlled by more right - wing parties , India has been remilitarising the `` porous '' Indo - Nepali border to stifle the flow of Islamist groups . Nepal established relations with the People 's Republic of China on 1 August 1955 , and relations since have been based on the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence . Nepal has aided China in the aftermath of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake , and China has provided economic assistance for Nepali infrastructure . Both countries have cooperated to host the 2008 Summer Olympics summit of Mt . Everest . Nepal has assisted in curbing anti-China protests from the Tibetan diaspora . Nepal 's military consists of the Nepali Army , which includes the Nepali Army Air Service . The Nepali Police Force is the civilian police and the Armed Police Force Nepal is the paramilitary force . Service is voluntary and the minimum age for enlistment is 18 years . Nepal spends $99.2 million ( 2004 ) on its military -- 1.5 % of its GDP . Much of the equipment and arms are imported from India . Consequently , the US provided M16s , M4s , and other Colt weapons to combat communist ( Maoist ) insurgents . The standard - issue battle rifle of the Nepali army is the Colt M16 . In the new regulations by Nepali Army , female soldiers have been barred from participating in combat situations and fighting in the frontlines of war . However , they are allowed to be a part of the army in sections like intelligence , headquarters , signals , and operations . Economy Main article : Economy of Nepal A proportional representation of Nepal 's exports . The Mountain Museum in Pokhara , the country 's second largest city and a hub of tourism in Nepal Terraced rice farming in Nepal Nepalese silver currency , 1695 Nepalese Chamber of Commerce , Lhasa , 1955 Nepal 's gross domestic product ( GDP ) for 2012 was estimated at over $17.921 billion ( adjusted to nominal GDP ) . In 2010 , agriculture accounted for 36.1 % , services comprised 48.5 % , and industry 15.4 % of Nepal 's GDP . While agriculture and industry are contracting , the contribution by the service sector is increasing . Agriculture employs 76 % of the workforce , services 18 % and manufacturing and craft - based industry 6 % . Agricultural produce -- mostly grown in the Terai region bordering India -- includes tea , rice , corn , wheat , sugarcane , root crops , milk , and water buffalo meat . Industry mainly involves the processing of agricultural produce , including jute , sugarcane , tobacco , and grain . Its workforce of about 10 million suffers from a severe shortage of skilled labour . Nepal 's economic growth continues to be adversely affected by the political uncertainty . Nevertheless , real GDP growth was estimated to increase to almost 5 percent for 2011 -- 2012 . This is an improvement from the 3.5 percent GDP growth in 2010 -- 2011 and would be the second - highest growth rate in the post-conflict era . Sources of growth include agriculture , construction , financial and other services . The contribution of growth by consumption fuelled by remittances has declined since 2010 / 2011 . While remittance growth slowed to 11 percent ( in Nepali Rupee terms ) in 2010 / 2011 , it has since increased to 37 percent . Remittances are estimated to be equivalent to 25 -- 30 percent of GDP . Inflation has been reduced to a three - year low of 7 percent . The proportion of poor people has declined substantially since 2003 . The percentage of people living below the international poverty line ( people earning less than US $1.25 per day ) has halved in seven years . At this measure of poverty the percentage of poor people declined from 53.1 % in 2003 / 2004 to 24.8 % in 2010 / 2011 . With a higher poverty line of US $2 per - capita per day , poverty declined by one - quarter to 57.3 % . However , the income distribution remains grossly uneven . Kathmandu street vendors In a recent survey , Nepal has performed extremely well in reducing poverty along with Rwanda and Bangladesh as the percentage of poor dropped to 44.2 percent of the population in 2011 from 64.7 percent in 2006 -- 4.1 percentage points per year , which means that Nepal has made improvement in sectors like nutrition , child mortality , electricity , improved flooring and assets . If the progress of reducing poverty continues at this rate , then it is predicted that Nepal will halve the current poverty rate and eradicate it within the next 20 years . The spectacular landscape and diverse , exotic cultures of Nepal represent considerable potential for tourism , but growth in the industry has been stifled by political instability and poor infrastructure . Despite these problems , in 2012 the number of international tourists visiting Nepal was 598,204 , a 10 % increase on the previous year . The tourism sector contributed nearly 3 % of national GDP in 2012 and is the second - biggest foreign income earner after remittances . The rate of unemployment and underemployment approaches half of the working - age population . Thus many Nepali citizens move to other countries in search of work . Destinations include India , Qatar , the United States , Thailand , the United Kingdom , Saudi Arabia , Japan , Brunei Darussalam , Australia , and Canada . Nepal receives $50 million a year through the Gurkha soldiers who serve in the Indian and British armies and are highly esteemed for their skill and bravery . As of 2010 , the total remittance value is around $3.5 billion . In 2009 alone , the remittance contributed to 22.9 % of the nation 's GDP . A long - standing economic agreement underpins a close relationship with India . The country receives foreign aid from the UK , India , Japan , the US , the EU , China , Switzerland , and Scandinavian countries . Poverty is acute ; per - capita income is around $1,000 . The distribution of wealth among the Nepali is consistent with that in many developed and developing countries : the highest 10 % of households control 39.1 % of the national wealth and the lowest 10 % control only 2.6 % . The government 's budget is about $1.153 billion , with an expenditure of $1.789 billion ( FY 20005 / 06 ) . The Nepali rupee has been tied to the Indian rupee at an exchange rate of 1.6 for many years . Since the loosening of exchange rate controls in the early 1990s , the black market for foreign exchange has all but disappeared . The inflation rate has dropped to 2.9 % after a period of higher inflation during the 1990s . Nepal 's exports of mainly carpets , clothing , hemp , leather goods , jute goods and grain total $822 million . Import commodities of mainly gold , machinery and equipment , petroleum products and fertiliser total US $2 billion . European Union ( EU ) ( 46.13 % ) , the US ( 17.4 % ) , and Germany ( 7.1 % ) are its main export partners . The European Union has emerged the largest buyer of Nepali ready - made garments ( RMG ) . Exports to the EU accounted for `` 46.13 percent of the country 's total garment exports '' . Nepal 's import partners include India ( 47.5 % ) , the United Arab Emirates ( 11.2 % ) , China ( 10.7 % ) , Saudi Arabia ( 4.9 % ) , and Singapore ( 4 % ) . Besides having landlocked , rugged geography , few tangible natural resources and poor infrastructure , the ineffective post-1950 government and the long - running civil war are also factors in stunting the nation 's economic growth and development . Infrastructure Energy Main article : Energy in Nepal Middle Marshyandi Hydroelectricity Dam . Nepal has significant potential to generate hydropower , which it plans to export across South Asia The bulk of the energy in Nepal comes from fuel wood ( 68 % ) , agricultural waste ( 15 % ) , animal dung ( 8 % ) , and imported fossil fuels ( 8 % ) . Except for some lignite deposits , Nepal has no known oil , gas or coal deposits . All commercial fossil fuels ( mainly oil and coal ) are either imported from India or from international markets routed through India and China . Fuel imports absorb over one - fourth of Nepal 's foreign exchange earnings . Only about 1 % energy need is fulfilled by electricity . The perennial nature of Nepali rivers and the steep gradient of the country 's topography provide ideal conditions for the development of some of the world 's largest hydroelectric projects . Current estimates put Nepal 's economically feasible hydropower potential to be approximately 83,000 MW from 66 hydropower project sites . However , currently Nepal has been able to exploit only about 600 MW from 20 medium to large hydropower plants and a number of small and micro hydropower plants . There are 9 major hydropower plants under construction , and additional 27 sites considered for potential development . Only about 40 % of Nepal 's population has access to electricity . There is a great disparity between urban and rural areas . The electrification rate in urban areas is 90 % , whereas the rate for rural areas is only 5 % . Power cuts of up to 22 hours a day take place in peak demand periods of winter and the peak electricity demand is almost the double the capability or dependable capacity . The position of the power sector remains unsatisfactory because of high tariffs , high system losses , high generation costs , high overheads , over staffing , and lower domestic demand . Transport Main article : Transport in Nepal Means of transport in mountain area Nepal remains isolated from the world 's major land , air and sea transport routes although , within the country , aviation is in a better state , with 47 airports , 11 of them with paved runways ; flights are frequent and support a sizable traffic . The hilly and mountainous terrain in the northern two - thirds of the country has made the building of roads and other infrastructure difficult and expensive . In 2007 there were just over 10,142 km ( 6,302 mi ) of paved roads , and 7,140 km ( 4,437 mi ) of unpaved road , and one 59 km ( 37 mi ) railway line in the south . More than one - third of its people live at least a two hours walk from the nearest all - season road . Only recently all district headquarters ( except for Simikot and Dunai ) became reachable by road from Kathmandu . In addition , around 60 % of the road network and most rural roads are not operable during the rainy season . The only practical seaport of entry for goods bound for Kathmandu is Kolkata in West Bengal state of India . Internally , the poor state of development of the road system makes access to markets , schools , and health clinics a challenge . Telecommunications and mass Media According to the Nepal Telecommunication Authority MIS May 2012 report , there are seven operators and the total voice telephony subscribers including fixed and mobile are 16,350,946 , which gives a penetration rate of 61.42 % . The fixed telephone service account for 9.37 % , mobile for 64.63 % , and other services ( LM , GMPCS ) for 3.76 % of the total penetration rate . Similarly , the numbers of subscribers to data / internet services are 4,667,536 , which represents 17.53 % penetration rate . Most of the data service is accounted by GPRS users . Twelve months earlier the data / internet penetration was 10.05 % , thus this represents a growth rate of 74.77 % . Not only has there been strong subscriber growth , especially in the mobile sector , but there was evidence of a clear vision in the sector , including putting a reform process in place and planning for the building of necessary telecommunications infrastructure . Most importantly , the Ministry of Information and Communications ( MoIC ) and the telecom regulator , the National Telecommunications Authority ( NTA ) , have both been very active in the performance of their respective roles . Despite all the effort , there remained a significant disparity between the high coverage levels in the cities and the coverage available in the underdeveloped rural regions . Progress on providing some minimum access had been good . Of a total of 3,914 village development committees across the country , 306 were unserved by December 2009 . In order to meet future demand , it was estimated that Nepal needed to invest around US $135 million annually in its telecom sector . In 2009 , the telecommunication sector alone contributed to 1 % of the nation 's GDP . As of 30 September 2012 , Nepal has 1,828,700 Facebook users . As of 2007 , the state operates two television stations as well as national and regional radio stations . There are roughly 30 independent TV channels registered , with only about half in regular operation . Nearly 400 FM radio stations are licensed with roughly 300 operational . According to the 2011 census , the percentage of households possessing radio was 50.82 % , television 36.45 % , cable TV 19.33 % , computer 7.23 % . According to the Press Council Nepal , as of 2012 there are 2,038 registered newspapers in Nepal , among which 514 are in publication . In 2013 , Reporters Without Borders ranked Nepal at 118th place in the world in terms of press freedom . Science and technology Main article : Science and technology in Nepal Erected by King Bhupatindra Malla in 1702 , Nyatapola is an important tourist attraction in the historical city of Bhaktapur . Historical kingdoms that existed in the Kathmandu valley are found to have made use of some clever technologies in numerous areas such as architecture , agriculture , civil engineering , water management , etc . The Gopals and Abhirs , who ruled the valley up until c. 1000 BC , used temporary materials for construction such as bamboo , hay , timber , etc . The Kirat period ( 700 BC -- 110 AD ) employed the technology of brick firing as well as produced quality woolen shawls . Similarly , stupas , idols , canals , self - recharging ponds , reservoirs , etc. constructed during the Lichhavi era ( 110 -- 879 AD ) are intact to this day , which manifests the ingenuity of traditional architecture . Moreover , the Malla period ( 1200 -- 1768 AD ) saw an impressive growth in architecture , on par with its advanced contemporaries . An archetypal example of Malla architecture is Nyatapola , a five - storied , 30 - metre tall temple in Bhaktapur , which has strangely survived at least four major earthquakes , including the April 2015 Nepal earthquake . Nepal was a late entrant into the modern world of science and technology . Nepal 's first institution of higher education , Tri-Chandra College , was established by Chandra Shumsher in 1918 . The college introduced science at the Intermediate level a year later , marking the genesis of formal science education in the country . However , the college was not accessible to the general public , but only to a handful of members of the Rana regime . Throughout the Rana regime that lasted for well over a century , Nepal was effectively isolated from the rest of the world . Owing to this isolation , Nepal was relatively untouched by and unfamiliar of social transformations brought about by the British invasion in India and the Industrial Revolution in the West . However , after the advent of democracy and abolition of Rana regime in 1951 , Nepal broke free from the shackles of self - imposed isolation and opened up to the outside world . This opening marked the initiation of S&T activities in the country . An underdeveloped country , Nepal is plagued with problems such as poverty , illiteracy , unemployment , and the like . Consequently , science and technology have invariably lagged behind in the priority list of the government . On the other hand , citing poor university education at home , tens of thousands of Nepali students leave the country every year , with half of them never returning . These factors have been huge deterrents to the development of science and technology in Nepal . Community Forestry The Community Forestry Program in Nepal is a participatory environmental governance that encompasses well - defined policies , institutions , and practices . The program addresses the twin goals of forest conservation and poverty reduction . As more than 70 percent of Nepal 's population depends on agriculture for their livelihood , community management of forests has been a critically important intervention . Through legislative developments and operational innovations over three decades , the program has evolved from a protection - oriented , conservation - focused agenda to a much more broad - based strategy for forest use , enterprise development , and livelihood improvement . By April 2009 , one - third of Nepal 's population was participating in the program , directly managing more than one - fourth of Nepal 's forest area . The immediate livelihood benefits derived by rural households bolster strong collective action wherein local communities actively and sustainably manage forest resources . Community forests also became the source of diversified investment capital and raw material for new market - oriented livelihoods . Community forestry shows traits of political , financial , and ecological sustainability , including an emergence of a strong legal and regulatory framework , and robust civil society institutions and networks . However , a continuing challenge is to ensure equitable distribution of benefits to women and marginalised groups . Lessons for replication emphasise experiential learning , establishment of a strong civil society network , flexible regulation to encourage diverse institutional modalities , and responsiveness of government and policymakers to a multistakeholder collaborative learning process . Crime and law enforcement Main article : Law enforcement in Nepal See also : Directorate of Military Intelligence , Nepal ; National Investigation Department of Nepal ; and Human trafficking in Nepal Law enforcement in Nepal is primarily the responsibility of the Nepali Police Force , which is the national police of Nepal . It is independent of the Nepali Army . In the days of its establishment , Nepal Police personnel were mainly drawn from the armed forces of the Nepali Congress Party that fought against the feudal Rana autocracy in Nepal . The Central Investigation Bureau ( CIB ) and National Investigation Department of Nepal ( NID ) are the investigation agencies of Nepal . They have offices in all 75 administrative districts , including regional offices in five regions and zonal offices in 14 zones . Numbers vary from three to five members at each district level in rural districts , and numbers can be higher in urban districts . They have both Domestic and International surveillance units , which mainly deals with cross border terrorists , drug trafficking and money laundering . A 2010 survey estimated about 46,000 hard drug users in the country , with 70 % of the users to be within the age group of 15 to 29 . The same survey also reported that 19 % of the users had been introduced to hard drugs when they were less than 15 years old ; and 14.4 % of drug users were attending school or college . Only 12 of the 17 municipalities studied had any type of rehabilitation centre . There has been a sharp increase in the seizure of drugs such as hashish , heroin and opium in the past few years ; and there are indications that drug traffickers are trying to establish Nepal as a transit point . Human trafficking and child labour are major problems in Nepal . Nepali victims are trafficked within Nepal , to India , the Middle East , and other areas such as Malaysia and forced to become prostitutes , domestic servants , beggars , factory workers , mine workers , circus performers , child soldiers , and others . Sex trafficking is particularly rampant within Nepal and to India , with as many as 5,000 to 10,000 women and girls trafficked to India alone each year . Capital punishment was abolished in Nepal in 1997 . In 2008 , the Nepali government abolished the Haliya system of forced labour , freeing about 20,000 people . However , the effectiveness of this has been questioned by the Asian Legal Resource Centre . Demographics Main article : Demographics of Nepal Nepalese gentlemen in 1940 Nepalese women dancing for Teej Population density map of Nepal Comparison Of Nepal Population According to the 2011 census , Nepal 's population grew from 9 million people in 1950 to 26.5 million . From 2001 to 2011 , the average family size declined from 5.44 to 4.9 . The census also noted some 1.9 million absentee people , over a million more than in 2001 ; most are male labourers employed overseas , predominantly in South Asia and the Middle East . This correlated with the drop in sex ratio from 94.41 as compared to 99.80 for 2001 . The annual population growth rate is 1.35 % . The citizens of Nepal are known as Nepali or Nepalese . The country is home to people of many different national origins . As a result , Nepalese do not equate their nationality with ethnicity , but with citizenship and allegiance . Although citizens make up the majority of Nepalese , non-citizen residents , dual citizens , and expatriates may also claim a Nepalese identity . Nepal is multicultural and multiethnic country because it became a country by occupying several small kingdoms such as Mustang , Videha ( Mithila ) , Madhesh , and Limbuwan in the 18th century . The oldest settlements in Mithila and Tharuhat are Maithil . Northern Nepal is historically inhabited by Kirants Mongoloid , Rai and Limbu people . The mountainous region is sparsely populated above 3,000 m ( 9,800 ft ) , but in central and western Nepal ethnic Sherpa and Lamapeople inhabit even higher semi-arid valleys north of the Himalaya . The Nepali speaking Khas people mostly inhabit central and southern regions . Kathmandu Valley , in the middle hill region , constitutes a small fraction of the nation 's area but is the most densely populated , with almost 5 percent of the nation 's population . The Nepali are descendants of three major migrations from India , Tibet , and North Burma and the Chinese state of Yunnan via Assam . Among the earliest inhabitants were the Kirat of east mid-region , Newars of the Kathmandu Valley , aboriginal Tharus of Tharuhat , Despite the migration of a significant section of the population to the Madhesh ( southern plains ) in recent years , the majority of Nepalese still live in the central highlands ; the northern mountains are sparsely populated . Kathmandu , with a population of over 2.6 million ( metropolitan area : 5 million ) , is the largest city in the country and the cultural and economic heart . According to the World Refugee Survey 2008 , published by the US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants , Nepal hosted a population of refugees and asylum seekers in 2007 numbering approximately 130,000 . Of this population , approximately 109,200 persons were from Bhutan and 20,500 from People 's Republic of China . The government of Nepal restricted Bhutanese refugees to seven camps in the Jhapa and Morang districts , and refugees were not permitted to work in most professions . At present , the United States is working towards resettling more than 60,000 of these refugees in the US . Population Structure Data Size Population 26,494,504 ( 2011 ) Growth rate 1.35 % Population below 14 Years old 34.19 % Population of age 15 to 59 54.15 % Population above 60 8.13 % Median age ( average ) 20.07 Median age ( male ) 19.91 Median age ( females ) 20.24 Ratio ( male : female ) 100 : 94.16 Life expectancy ( average ) ( reference : ) 66.16 Years Life expectancy ( male ) 64.94 Life expectancy ( female ) 67.44 Literacy rate ( average ) 65.9 % Literacy rate ( male ) 75.1 % Literacy rate ( female ) 57.4 % A Nepalese Tibetan monk Languages Main article : Languages of Nepal Nepal 's diverse linguistic heritage stems from three major language groups : Indo - Aryan , Tibeto - Burman , and various indigenous language isolates . The major languages of Nepal ( percent spoken as native language ) according to the 2011 census are Nepali ( 44.6 % ) , Maithili ( 11.7 % ) , Bhojpuri ( 6.0 % ) , Tharu ( 5.8 % ) , Tamang ( 5.1 % ) , Nepal Bhasa ( 3.2 % ) , Bajjika ( 3 % ) and Magar ( 3.0 % ) , Doteli ( 3.0 % ) , Urdu ( 2.6 % ) , Awadhi ( 1.89 % ) , and Sunwar . Nepal is home to at least four indigenous sign languages . Derived from Sanskrit , Nepali is written in Devanagari script . Nepali is the official language and serves as lingua franca among Nepali of different ethnolinguistic groups . The regional languages Maithili , Awadhi , Bhojpuri and rarely Urdu of Nepali Muslims are spoken in the southern Madhesh region . Many Nepali in government and business speak Maithili as the main language and Nepali as their de facto lingua franca . Varieties of Tibetan are spoken in and north of the higher Himalaya where standard literary Tibetan is widely understood by those with religious education . Local dialects in the Terai and hills are mostly unwritten with efforts underway to develop systems for writing many in Devanagari or the Roman alphabet . Religion Main article : Religion in Nepal Religion in Nepal ( 2011 ) religion percent Hindu 81.3 % Buddhist 9.0 % Muslim 4.4 % Folk 3.0 % Christian 1.42 % Other 0.9 % Sadhus in Pashupatinath Temple The significant majority of the Nepalese population follows Hinduism . Shiva is regarded as the guardian deity of the country . Nepal is home to the famous Lord Shiva temple , the Pashupatinath Temple , where Hindus from all over the world come for pilgrimage . According to Hindu mythology , the goddess Sita of the epic Ramayana , was born in the Mithila Kingdom of King Janaka Raja . Lumbini is a Buddhist pilgrimage site and UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Kapilavastu district . Traditionally it is held to be the birthplace in about 563 B.C. of Siddhartha Gautama , a Kshatriya caste prince of the Sakya clan , who as the Buddha Gautama , founded Buddhism . The holy site of Lumbini is bordered by a large monastic zone , in which only monasteries can be built . All three main branches of Buddhism exist in Nepal and the Newa people have their own branch of the faith . Buddhism is also the dominant religion of the thinly populated northern areas , which are mostly inhabited by Tibetan - related peoples , such as the Sherpa . The Buddha , born as a Hindu , is also said to be a descendant of Vedic Sage Angirasa in many Buddhist texts . The Buddha 's family surname is associated with Gautama Maharishi . Differences between Hindus and Buddhists have been minimal in Nepal due to the cultural and historical intermingling of Hindu and Buddhist beliefs . Moreover , traditionally Buddhism and Hinduism were never two distinct religions in the western sense of the word . In Nepal , the faiths share common temples and worship common deities . Among other natives of Nepal , those more influenced by Hinduism were the Magar , Sunwar , Limbu and Rai and the Gurkhas . Hindu influence is less prominent among the Gurung , Bhutia , and Thakali groups who employ Buddhist monks for their religious ceremonies . Most of the festivals in Nepal are Hindu . The Machendrajatra festival , dedicated to Hindu Shaiva Siddha , is celebrated by many Buddhists in Nepal as a main festival . As it is believed that Ne Muni established Nepal , some important priests in Nepal are called `` Tirthaguru Nemuni '' . Islam is a minority religion in Nepal , with 4.2 % of the population being Muslim according to a 2006 Nepali census . Mundhum , Christianity and Jainism are other minority faiths . Education Main article : Education in Nepal The overall literacy rate ( for population age 5 years and above ) increased from 54.1 % in 2001 to 65.9 % in 2011 . The male literacy rate was 75.1 % compared to the female literacy rate of 57.4 % . The highest literacy rate was reported in Kathmandu district ( 86.3 % ) and lowest in Rautahat ( 41.7 % ) . While the net primary enrollment rate was 74 % in 2005 ; in 2009 , that enrollment rate was 90 % . However , increasing access to secondary education ( grade 9 -- 12 ) remains a major challenge , as evidenced by the low net enrollment rate of 24 % at this level . More than half of primary students do not enter secondary schools , and only one - half of them complete secondary schooling . In addition , fewer girls than boys join secondary schools and , among those who do , fewer complete the 10th grade . Nepal has seven universities : Tribhuvan University , Kathmandu University , Pokhara University , Purbanchal University , Mahendra Sanskrit University , Far - western University , and Agriculture and Forestry University . Some newly proposed universities are Lumbini Bouddha University , and Mid-Western University . Some fine scholarship has emerged in the post-1990 era . Health Main article : Health in Nepal Kunde Hospital in remote Himalayan region Public health and health care services in Nepal are provided by both the public and private sectors and fare poorly by international standards . According to 2011 census , more than one - third ( 38.17 % ) of the total households do not have a toilet . Tap water is the main source of drinking water for 47.78 % of households , tube well / hand pump is the main source of drinking water for about 35 % of households , while spout , uncovered well / kuwa , and covered well / kuwa are the main source for 5.74 % , 4.71 % , and 2.45 % respectively . Based on 2010 World Health Organization ( WHO ) data , Nepal ranked 139th in life expectancy in 2010 with the average Nepali living to 65.8 years . Diseases are more prevalent in Nepal than in other South Asian countries , especially in rural areas . Leading diseases and illnesses include diarrhea , gastrointestinal disorders , goitres , intestinal parasites , leprosy , visceral leishmaniasis and tuberculosis . About 4 out of 1,000 adults aged 15 to 49 had human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV ) , and the HIV prevalence rate was 0.5 % . Malnutrition also remains very high : about 47 % of children under five are stunted , 15 percent wasted , and 36 percent underweight , although there has been a declining trend for these rates over the past five years , they remain alarmingly high . In spite of these figures , improvements in health care have been made , most notably in maternal - child health . In 2012 , the under - five infant mortality was estimated to be 41 out of every 1000 children . Overall Nepal 's Human Development Index ( HDI ) for health was 0.77 in 2011 , ranking Nepal 126 out of 194 countries , up from 0.444 in 1980 . Largest cities As Nepal is one of the developing or so called under developed country , like other things it 's cities or urban areas are also increasing day by day . More than 20 % people lives in the urban area or simply in cities . Kathmandu is the largest city of Nepal . People of Kathmandu are lucky enough to travel in Aeroplane before any land transport . It is also called as the City of Temple as it has numerous temples of Hindus god and goddess and that 's of Buddhism . It also have 5 UNESCO World Heritage Sites . It is one of the oldest city of South Asia . It is also the capital city of Nepal . It also have many palace and historically important sites such as Singha Durbar , The other largest city of Nepal are Pokhara , Biratnagar , Lalitpur , Bharatpur , Birgunj , Dharan , Hetauda , Nepalgunj Largest cities or towns in Nepal Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration ( 1 ) Rank Name Province Pop .

Traditional stories are rooted in the reality of day - to - day life , tales of love , affection and battles as well as demons and ghosts and thus reflect local lifestyles , culture , and beliefs . Many Nepali folktales are enacted through the medium of dance and music . Most houses in the rural lowlands of Nepal are made up of a tight bamboo framework and walls of a mud and cow - dung mix . These dwellings remain cool in summer and retain warmth in winter . Houses in the hills are usually made of unbaked bricks with thatch or tile roofing . At high elevations construction changes to stone masonry and slate may be used on roofs . Nepal 's flag is the only national flag in the world that is not rectangular in shape . The constitution of Nepal contains instructions for a geometric construction of the flag . According to its official description , the red in the flag stands for victory in war or courage , and is also the colour of the rhododendron , the national flower of Nepal . Red also stands for aggression . The flag 's blue border signifies peace . The curved moon on the flag is a symbol of the peaceful and calm nature of Nepali , while the sun represents the aggressiveness of Nepali warriors . Holidays and festivals Main article : List of festivals in Nepal With 36 days a year , Nepal is the country that enjoys the most number of public holidays in the world . The Nepali year begins in 1st of Baisakh in official Hindu Calendar of the country , the Bikram Sambat , which falls in mid-April and is divided into 12 months . Saturday is the official weekly holiday . Main annual holidays include the Martyr 's Day ( 18 February ) , and a mix of Hindu and Buddhist festivals such as Dashain in autumn , Tihar in mid-autumn and Chhath in late autumn . During Swanti , the Newars perform the Mha Puja ceremony to celebrate New Year 's Day of the lunar calendar Nepal Sambat . Being a Secular country Nepal has holiday on main festivals of minority religions in the nation too . Cuisine Main article : Nepalese cuisine The national cuisine of Nepal is Dhindo and Gundruk. The staple Nepali meal is dal bhat . Dal is a lentil soup , and is served over bhat ( boiled rice ) , with tarkari ( curried vegetables ) together with achar ( pickles ) or chutni ( spicy condiment made from fresh ingredients ) . It consists of non-vegetarian as well as vegetarian items . Mustard oil is a common cooking medium and a host of spices , including cumin , coriander , black pepper , sesame seeds , turmeric , garlic , ginger , methi ( fenugreek ) , bay leaves , cloves , cinnamon , chilies and mustard seeds are used in cooking . Momo is a type of steamed dumpling with meat or vegetable fillings , and is a popular fast food in many regions of Nepal . Sports Main article : Sports in Nepal Association football is the most popular sport in Nepal and was first played during the Rana dynasty in 1921 . The one and only international stadium in the country is the Dasarath Rangasala Stadium where the national team plays its home matches . Cricket has been gaining popularity since the last decade . Since the establishment of the national team , Nepal has played its home matches on the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground . The national team has since won the 2012 ICC World Cricket League Division Four and the 2013 ICC World Cricket League Division Three simultaneously , hence qualifying for 2014 Cricket World Cup Qualifier . They also qualified for the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 in Bangladesh , and this qualification has been the farthest the team have ever made in an ICC event . On 28 June 2014 , the ICC awarded T20I status to Nepal , who took part and performed exceptionally well in the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 . Nepal had already played three T20I matches before gaining the status , as ICC had earlier announced that all matches at the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 would have T20I status . Nepal won the 2014 ICC World Cricket League Division Three held in Malaysia and qualified for the 2015 ICC World Cricket League Division Two . Nepal finished fourth in the 2015 ICC World Cricket League Division Two in Namibia and qualified for the 2015 -- 17 ICC World Cricket League Championship . But Nepal failed to secure promotion to Division One and qualification to 2015 -- 17 ICC Intercontinental Cup after finishing third in the round - robin stage . Basanta Regmi became the first bowler to take 100 wickets in the World Cricket League . He achieved this feat after taking 2 wickets against Netherlands in the tournament . After finishing 2018 ICC World Cricket League Division Two at second place Nepal claims the place in 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier . On 15 March 2018 Nepal claimed One Day International ( ODI ) status for the first time with their win over Papua New Guinea in the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier play off encounter . Units of measurement Main article : Nepalese customary units of measurement Although the country has adopted the metric system as its official standard since 1968 , traditional units of measurement are still commonplace . The customary units of area employed in the Terai region -- such as katha , bigha , etc. -- sound similar to those used elsewhere in South Asia . However , they vary markedly in size , as they seem to have been standardised to different measures of area . For instance , a katha in Nepal is arbitrarily set at 338.63 m , while a katha in Bangladesh means about 67 m of land area . In addition to native ones , imperial units pertaining to length ( specifically inch and foot ) and metric units such as kilogram and litre are also fairly common in everyday trade and commerce .

The leone is the currency of Sierra Leone . It is subdivided into 100 cents . The ISO 4217 code is SLL and the leone is abbreviated as Le placed before the amount . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Coins 3 Banknotes 4 Specimen notes 5 See also 6 References 7 External links History ( edit ) The leone was introduced on 4 August 1964 . It replaced the British West African pound at a rate of 1 pound = 2 leones ( i.e. , 1 leone = 10 shillings ) . For an earlier Sierra Leone currency , see Sierra Leonean dollar . Coins ( edit ) In 1964 , decimal coins were introduced in denominations of 1⁄2 , 1 , 5 , 10 and 20 cents . The coins size and compositions were based in part on those of the former colonial state British West Africa . All bore the portrait of the first president of Sierra Leone , Sir Milton Margai . In 1972 , 50 cents coins were introduced which carried the portrait of the succeeding president Dr. Siaka Stevens . In 1974 , round cupro - nickel one leone coins were introduced and in 1976 , seven sided cupro - nickel 2 leone coins commemorating FAO were introduced . These latter two denominations , however , did not circulate as frequently as the lower cent denominations . The portrait of Stevens also appeared on a new , slightly smaller series of coins introduced in 1980 in denominations of 1⁄2 , 1 , 5 , 10 and 20 cents . In 1987 , octagonal , nickel - bronze 1 leone coins were introduced with a bust portrait of General Joseph Saidu Momoh . This coin effectively replaced the one leone note . Following a period of economic collapse and the following Sierra Leone Civil War inflation became rampant , devaluing older coins . A new coin series was introduced in 1996 for 10 , 50 and 100 leones . The 50 leones is octagonal while the other two are round . These coins were struck in nickel - plated steel and feature important figures in Sierra Leone 's political history . Ten sided , bimetallic 500 leones coins were first introduced in 2004 . Of the four coins in circulation , only the 100 leones is available in small quantity due to their low valuation and shortage of supply . 500 leones coins and the two lowest denominations are rarely encountered due to rampant metal theft in the impoverished country . 1 leone 1987 Coat of arms Joseph Saidu Momoh Banknotes ( edit ) With the introduction of decimal currency in 1964 , a new series of Banknotes was introduced by the Bank of Sierra Leone . Originally called Shillings , the unit name `` Leone '' was finally decided upon . After considering ( and subsequently rejecting ) several new designs , including a particularly attractive multi-coloured design , notes were issued in the 1 , 2 and 5 Leone denominations . These officially replaced notes of the British West African pound at a two leone to one pound exchange ratio . 50 cents notes were introduced in 1979 , followed by 10 leones in 1980 and 20 leones notes in 1982 . Throughout this period the value of the currency was fixed and remained relatively stable despite inherent economic problems . 100 leones notes were introduced in 1988 , followed by 500 leones in 1991 , 1000 and 5000 leones in 1993 , 2000 leones in the year 2000 and 10,000 Leone in 2004 . The original series of notes ( 1964 - 1974 ) depicted the famous 300 year old Cottonwood Tree and Court building in central Freetown . The reverses showed Diamond Mining ( 1 Leone ) , a Village market scene ( 2 Leones ) and the Dockside in Freetown ( 5 Leones ) . Subsequent issues ( 1974 - 1991 ) depicted the head of state during the time of issue . The first series depicting Sir Milton Margai and later issues depicting either Siaka and Momoh . This practice ended with the ascension of the NPRC regime and has remained so despite the return to civilian government . Prior to June 2010 , bank notes in circulation were 500 , 1000 , 2000 , 5000 and 10,000 leones . 10,000 leones notes were in circulation for less than ten years and were infrequently encountered . This meant that most transactions took place in bundles of 5000 leones notes . In June 2010 , the Bank of Sierra Leone issued new notes which were slightly smaller in size than the earlier series and intended to be more secure and durable . The new bank notes are : Le10 , 000 , Le5 , 000 , Le2 , 000 and Le1 , 000 . Coins are still used , but because of their low value are less common . Because of inflation , a 20,000 leone banknote has been suggested . As of May 20th , 2017 , 20,000 leones are equivalent to about $2.68 USD . 2010 Series Image Value Main Color Description Date of issue Date of first issue Watermark Obverse Reverse 1000 leones 135 x 67 mm Red Bai Bureh ; Coat of arms of Sierra Leone Telecommunications satellite dish 27th April 2010 May 14 , 2010 Lion head and electrotype 1000 ( 1 ) 2000 leones 140 x 69 mm Brown Isaac Theophilus Akunna Wallace - Johnson , cargo ship ; Coat of arms of Sierra Leone Bank of Sierra Leone building , Freetown 27th April 2010 May 14 , 2010 Lion head and electrotype 2000 ( 2 ) 5000 leones 145 x 71 mm Purple Sengbe Pieh ; Coat of arms of Sierra Leone Bumbuna Dam 27th April 2010 May 14 , 2010 Lion head and electrotype 5000 ( 3 ) 10,000 leones 153 x 73 mm Blue and Green Dove flying over the map of Sierra Leone , Flag of Sierra Leone White silk - cotton tree ; Coat of arms of Sierra Leone 27th April 2010 May 14 , 2010 Lion head and electrotype 10000 Specimen notes ( edit ) Specimen notes are issued to banks to familiarize the local inhabitants with any currency changes .

Used as the theme song for the 1995 Disney / Pixar animated film Toy Story , it has since become a major musical component for its sequels , Toy Story 2 ( 1999 ) and Toy Story 3 ( 2010 ) as well as a musical leitmotif throughout the whole Toy Story franchise . The song was nominated for both the Academy Award for Best Original Song and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song , but lost both to `` Colors of the Wind '' from Disney 's Pocahontas . Like many other Disney theme songs , `` You 've Got a Friend in Me '' has been covered numerous times . Cover versions featured in the three Toy Story films include a duet with Newman and Lyle Lovett in Toy Story ; a diegetic instance by Tom Hanks , a version by Robert Goulet and an instrumental by Tom Scott in Toy Story 2 , and a Spanish language version by the Gipsy Kings in Toy Story 3 . Contents ( hide ) 1 In Toy Story 2 Release history 3 Cover versions 4 References 5 External links In Toy Story ( edit ) The song is played during the opening credits for Toy Story and Toy Story 3 , establishing the importance of Woody and Andy in the first film and the importance of all his toys in the third . Toy Story 3 also uses it for irony and dramatic effect , as the opening credits harken back to the first film and the song abruptly fades out with `` As the years go by / Our friendship will never die '' , before showing that Andy 's remaining toys in the present day are boxed up and unused . When they were unused , Andy was 17 years old . In the two sequels , the song is listened to by the characters as part of the story . Two of these are cover versions done at the end of the film for thematic reasons : at the end of Toy Story 2 , the character Wheezy starts to sing it to the other toys ; during the end credits of Toy Story 3 , Buzz Lightyear and Jessie ( now a couple ) perform a pasodoble to a Spanish version of the song , deliberately played by Jessie to get Buzz to dance . The most significant use of the song was in the third act of Toy Story 2 , where an episode of Woody 's Roundup ( the 1950s puppet show he was based on ) shows the puppet Woody singing the song , directed at the young audience and featuring a small child hugging the puppet . Woody sees this and has an epiphany , realizing that his mission as a toy is to be there for a child . ( In - universe , the song was presumably written for Woody 's Roundup . ) The Woody 's Roundup version was performed by Tom Hanks , with acoustic guitar backing ; Wheezy 's version was sung by Robert Goulet ( though the character was voiced by Joe Ranft ) ; and the Spanish version , `` You 've Got a Friend in Me ( Para el Buzz Español ) '' , was performed by the Gipsy Kings . Release history ( edit ) Format Release date Catalog Demo Unreleased none Cassette April 12 , 1996 # 60367 CD Cover versions ( edit ) Michael Bublé covered `` You 've Got a Friend in Me '' on his 2013 album , To Be Loved . The track became a U.S. Adult Contemporary chart hit , spending 14 weeks on the chart and peaking at number 10 . On May 31st , 2018 , Rex Orange County released a cover of `` You 've Got a Friend in Me '' , performing along with Randy Newman , the creator of the song .

Cast and characters ( edit ) Main ( edit ) Iain Armitage as Sheldon Cooper , a 9 - year - old child prodigy with a `` once - in - a-generation mind capable of advanced mathematics and science '' . While academically gifted , Sheldon lacks a full understanding of social cues and behaviors , in addition to a sense of superiority over everyone around him due to his intelligence . However , Sheldon has proven to love his family and almost always has his heart in the right place . Zoe Perry as Mary Cooper , Sheldon 's mother . She is very protective and patient with Sheldon but also struggles to understand him at times . She is a devout Christian and so has friction with Sheldon 's atheism . Nevertheless , she deeply loves her son and wants to protect him for as long as she can . Lance Barber as George Cooper Sr. , Sheldon 's father and the head football coach at Sheldon 's high school . George is not very bright , leading others , especially Meemaw , to doubt him being Sheldon 's father . While he may struggle with understanding his intellectually gifted son , George is a loving father and has defended Sheldon on multiple occasions , earning Sheldon 's love and appreciation . Montana Jordan as George `` Georgie '' Cooper Jr. , Sheldon 's older brother . Georgie openly despises Sheldon and never hesitates to bully him . He is not very intelligent and so is mocked and teased by the rest of the family , particularly Sheldon and Meemaw . Georgie hides deep insecurities over feeling inferior to his genius brother and thus copes by trying to belittle Sheldon 's intelligence in any way he can . He attends Medford High with Sheldon and plays on the football team . Raegan Revord as Missy Cooper , Sheldon 's twin sister . She teases Sheldon along with Georgie but not as much . While she does not always get along with Sheldon , she finds in her twin brother a solid confidant and has admitted to not feel as whole without him . Jim Parsons as the voice of adult Sheldon Cooper , who narrates the series as the older , present - day version of the character . Annie Potts as Meemaw ( Connie ) , Sheldon 's maternal grandmother . She is very close with Mary and her grandchildren but does not like George . She is the most patient and understanding of Sheldon 's quirks and advises Mary to trust that Sheldon will find his way . Recurring ( edit ) Wyatt McClure as Billy Sparks , the son of a neighbor to the Cooper family , who is not very intelligent . Ryan Phuong as Tam Nguyen , Sheldon 's Vietnamese - American childhood best friend and classmate . Tam is responsible for introducing Sheldon to many of his non-scientific interests , including comic books and role - playing games . Matt Hobby as Pastor Jeff Hodgkins , the pastor at the Cooper family 's church . Like Mary , he has friction with Sheldon 's atheism . Valerie Mahaffey as Ms. Victoria MacElroy , Sheldon 's homeroom teacher at high school . Rex Linn as Principal Tom Petersen , the principal at Sheldon 's high school .

Often considered the best player in the world and regarded by many as one of the greatest of all time , Ronaldo has a record - tying five Ballon d'Or awards , the most for a European player , and is the first player to win four European Golden Shoes . He has won 26 trophies in his career , including five league titles , five UEFA Champions League titles and one UEFA European Championship . A prolific goalscorer , Ronaldo holds the records for most official goals scored in Europe 's top - five leagues ( 395 ) , the UEFA Champions League ( 120 ) , the UEFA European Championship ( 9 ) , as well as those for most assists in the UEFA Champions League ( 34 ) and the UEFA European Championship ( 6 ) . He has scored over 670 senior career goals for club and country . Born and raised on the Portuguese island of Madeira , Ronaldo was diagnosed with a racing heart at age 15 . He underwent an operation to treat his condition , and began his senior club career playing for Sporting CP , before signing with Manchester United at age 18 in 2003 . After winning his first trophy , the FA Cup , during his first season in England , he helped United win three successive Premier League titles , a UEFA Champions League title , and a FIFA Club World Cup . By age 22 , he had received Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year nominations and at age 23 , he won his first Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards . In 2009 , Ronaldo was the subject of the most expensive association football transfer when he moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a transfer worth € 94 million ( £ 80 million ) . In Madrid , Ronaldo won 15 trophies , including two La Liga titles , two Copas del Rey , four UEFA Champions League titles , two UEFA Super Cups , and three FIFA Club World Cups. Real Madrid 's all - time top goalscorer , Ronaldo scored a record 34 La Liga hat - tricks , including a record - tying eight hat - tricks in the 2014 -- 15 season and is the only player to reach 30 goals in six consecutive La Liga seasons . After joining Madrid , Ronaldo finished runner - up for the Ballon d'Or three times , behind Lionel Messi , his perceived career rival , before winning back - to - back Ballons d'Or in 2013 and 2014 . After winning the 2016 and 2017 Champions Leagues , Ronaldo secured back - to - back Ballons d'Or again in 2016 and 2017 . A historic third consecutive Champions League followed , making Ronaldo the first player to win the trophy five times . In 2018 , he signed for Juventus in a transfer worth € 100 million , the highest fee ever paid for a player over 30 years old , and the highest ever paid by an Italian club . A Portuguese international , Ronaldo was named the best Portuguese player of all time by the Portuguese Football Federation in 2015 . He made his senior debut for Portugal in 2003 at age 18 , and has since had over 150 caps , including appearing and scoring in eight major tournaments , becoming Portugal 's most capped player and his country 's all - time top goalscorer . He scored his first international goal at Euro 2004 and helped Portugal reach the final . He took over full captaincy in July 2008 , leading Portugal to their first - ever triumph in a major tournament by winning Euro 2016 , and received the Silver Boot as the second - highest goalscorer of the tournament , before becoming the highest European international goalscorer of all - time . One of the most marketable athletes in the world , he was ranked the world 's highest - paid athlete by Forbes in 2016 and 2017 , as well as the world 's most famous athlete by ESPN in 2016 , 2017 and 2018 .

His second given name , `` Ronaldo '' , was chosen after then - U.S. president Ronald Reagan . He has one older brother , Hugo , and two older sisters , Elma and Liliana Cátia . His great - grandmother on his father 's side , Isabel da Piedade , was from São Vicente , Cape Verde . Ronaldo grew up in a Catholic and impoverished home , sharing a room with his brother and sisters . As a child , Ronaldo played for amateur team Andorinha from 1992 to 1995 , where his father was the kit man , and later spent two years with Nacional . In 1997 , aged 12 , he went on a three - day trial with Sporting CP , who signed him for a fee of £ 1,500 . He subsequently moved from Madeira to Alcochete , near Lisbon , to join Sporting 's other youth players at the club 's football academy . By age 14 , Ronaldo believed he had the ability to play semi-professionally , and agreed with his mother to cease his education in order to focus entirely on football . While popular with other students at school , he had been expelled after throwing a chair at his teacher , who he said had `` disrespected '' him . However , one year later , he was diagnosed with a racing heart , a condition that could have forced him to give up playing football . Ronaldo underwent cardiac surgery where a laser was used to cauterise multiple electrical pathways altering his resting heart rate . He was discharged from the hospital hours after the procedure and resumed training a few days later . Club career Sporting CP Ronaldo memorabilia at Sporting CP 's museum At age 16 , Ronaldo was promoted from Sporting 's youth team by first - team manager László Bölöni , who was impressed with his dribbling . He subsequently became the first player to play for the club 's under - 16 , under - 17 and under - 18 teams , the B team , and the first team , all within a single season . A year later , on 7 October 2002 , Ronaldo made his debut in the Primeira Liga , against Moreirense , and scored two goals in their 3 -- 0 win . Over the course of the 2002 -- 03 season , his representatives suggested the player to Liverpool manager Gérard Houllier and Barcelona president Joan Laporta . Manager Arsène Wenger , who was interested in signing the winger , met with him at Arsenal 's grounds in November to discuss a possible transfer . Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson , however , determined to acquire Ronaldo on a permanent move urgently , after Sporting defeated United 3 -- 1 at the inauguration of the Estádio José Alvalade in August 2003 . Initially , United had just planned to sign Ronaldo and then loan him back to Sporting for a year . Having impressed the Manchester United players , however , they urged Ferguson to sign him . After the game , Ferguson agreed to pay Sporting £ 12.24 million for what he considered to be `` one of the most exciting young players '' he had ever seen . A decade after his departure from the club , in April 2013 , Sporting honoured Ronaldo by selecting him to become their 100,000 th member . Manchester United 2003 -- 07 : development and breakthrough Ronaldo became Manchester United 's first - ever Portuguese player when he signed before the 2003 -- 04 season . His transfer fee of £ 12.24 million made him , at the time , the most expensive teenager in English football history . Although he requested the number 28 , his number at Sporting , he received the number 7 shirt , which had previously been worn by such United players as George Best , Eric Cantona and David Beckham . Wearing the number 7 became an extra source of motivation for Ronaldo . A key element in his development during his time in England proved to be his manager , Alex Ferguson , of whom he later said , `` He 's been my father in sport , one of the most important and influential factors in my career . '' Ronaldo made his debut in the Premier League in a 4 -- 0 home victory over Bolton Wanderers on 16 August 2003 , receiving a standing ovation when he came on as a 60th - minute substitute for Nicky Butt . His performance earned praise from George Best , who hailed it as `` undoubtedly the most exciting debut '' he had ever seen . Ronaldo scored his first goal for Manchester United with a free - kick in a 3 -- 0 win over Portsmouth on 1 November . Three other league goals followed in the second half of the campaign , the last of which came against Aston Villa on the final day of the season , a match in which he also received his first red card . Ronaldo ended his first season in English football by scoring the opening goal in United 's 3 -- 0 victory over Millwall in the FA Cup final , earning his first trophy . Ronaldo playing against Chelsea in the Premier League during his third season in England At the start of 2005 , Ronaldo played two of his best matches of the 2004 -- 05 season , producing a goal and an assist against Aston Villa and scoring twice against rivals Arsenal . After scoring four goals in United 's run to the FA Cup final , he played the full 120 minutes of the decisive match against Arsenal , which ended in a goalless draw , and scored his attempt in the lost penalty shootout . Ronaldo scored three braces during the next campaign , the 2005 -- 06 season , scoring two goals each against Bolton Wanderers , Fulham , and Portsmouth . He scored Manchester United 's 1000th Premier League goal on 29 October , their only strike in a 4 -- 1 loss to Middlesbrough . Midway through the season , in November , he signed a new contract which extended his previous deal by two years to 2010 . Ronaldo won his second trophy in English football , the Football League Cup , after scoring the third goal in United 's 4 -- 0 final victory over Wigan Athletic . During his third season in England , Ronaldo was involved in several incidents . He had a one - match ban imposed on him by UEFA for a `` one - fingered gesture '' towards Benfica fans , and was sent off in the Manchester derby -- a 3 -- 1 defeat -- for kicking Manchester City 's former United player Andy Cole . Ronaldo clashed with a teammate , striker Ruud van Nistelrooy , who took offence at the winger 's showboating style of play . Following a training ground fight in January 2006 , the two again fought in May , with Van Nistelrooy telling Ronaldo to `` go crying to your daddy '' , a reference to Ronaldo 's relationship with assistant manager Carlos Queiroz. Van Nistelrooy was left on the substitutes ' bench for the final game of the season against Charlton Athletic -- a 4 -- 0 victory in which Ronaldo scored his ninth league goal . Following the 2006 FIFA World Cup , in which he was involved in an incident where club teammate Wayne Rooney was sent off , Ronaldo publicly asked for a transfer , lamenting the lack of support he felt he had received from the club over the incident . United , however , denied the possibility of him leaving the club . Although his World Cup altercation with Rooney resulted in Ronaldo being booed throughout the 2006 -- 07 season , it proved to be his breakout year , as he broke the 20 - goal barrier for the first time and won his first Premier League title . An important factor in this success was his one - to - one training by first - team coach René Meulensteen , who taught him to make himself more unpredictable , improve his teamwork , call for the ball , and capitalise on goalscoring opportunities rather than waiting for the chance to score the aesthetically pleasing goals for which he was already known . His upturn in form was showcased in November when he received a standing ovation from a section of Blackburn Rovers supporters as he was substituted . He scored three consecutive braces at the end of December , against Aston Villa -- a victory which put United on top of the league -- Wigan Athletic , and Reading . Ronaldo was named the Premier League Player of the Month in November and December , becoming only the third player to receive consecutive honours . 2007 -- 09 : collective and individual success Ronaldo during the 2006 -- 07 season At the quarter - final stage of the 2006 -- 07 UEFA Champions League , Ronaldo scored his first - ever goals in the competition , finding the net twice in a 7 -- 1 victory over Roma . He subsequently scored four minutes into the first semi-final leg against Milan , which ended in a 3 -- 2 win , but was marked out of the second leg as United lost 3 -- 0 at the San Siro . He also helped United reach the FA Cup final , putting them 2 -- 1 up against Watford , but the decisive match against Chelsea ended in a 1 -- 0 defeat . Ronaldo scored the only goal in the Manchester derby on 5 May 2007 -- his 50th goal for the club -- as Manchester United claimed their first Premier League title in four years . As a result of his performances , he amassed a host of personal awards for the season . He won the Professional Footballers ' Association 's Player 's Player , Fans ' Player , and Young Player of the Year awards , as well as the Football Writers ' Association 's Footballer of the Year award , becoming the first player to win all four main PFA and FWA honours . His club wages were concurrently upgraded to £ 120,000 a week ( £ 31 million total ) as part of a five - year contract extension with United . Ronaldo scored a total of 42 goals in all competitions during the 2007 -- 08 season , his most prolific campaign during his time in England . His first goal of the season came against his former club , Sporting , with a header in the first group match of the Champions League . He missed three matches after headbutting a Portsmouth player at the start of the season , an experience he said taught him not to let opponents provoke him , but still managed to score 13 league goals by the campaign 's midway point . At the end of 2007 , Ronaldo was named runner - up to Kaká for the Ballon d'Or , and came third , behind Kaká and Lionel Messi , in the running for the FIFA World Player of the Year award . Ronaldo scored his first and only hat - trick for Manchester United in a 6 -- 0 win against Newcastle United on 12 January 2008 , bringing United up to the top of the Premier League table . A month later , on 19 March , he captained United for the first time in a home win over Bolton , and scored both goals of the match . His second goal was his 33rd of the campaign , which bettered George Best 's total of 32 goals in the 1967 -- 68 season , thus setting the club 's new single - season record by a midfielder . Ronaldo scored his final league goal of the season from the penalty spot in the title decider against Wigan on 11 May , as United claimed a second successive Premier League title . His 31 league goals earned him the Premier League Golden Boot , as well as the European Golden Shoe , which made him the first winger to win the latter award . Ronaldo taking a direct free kick against Celtic in the 2008 -- 09 UEFA Champions League In the knockout stage of the Champions League , Ronaldo scored the decisive goal against Lyon , which helped United advance to the quarter - finals 2 -- 1 on aggregate , and , while playing as a striker , scored with a header in the 3 -- 0 aggregate victory over Roma . Despite him missing a penalty in the first leg against Barcelona , United eventually advanced to the final in Moscow , where they faced Chelsea . His opening goal was negated by an equaliser as the match ended in a 1 -- 1 draw , but although his penalty was saved in the shoot - out , Manchester United emerged victorious . As the Champions League top scorer , Ronaldo was named the UEFA Club Footballer of the Year . He additionally received the PFA Players ' Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year awards for the second consecutive season . As rumours circulated of Ronaldo 's interest in moving to Real Madrid , United filed a tampering complaint with governing body FIFA over Madrid 's alleged pursuit of their player , but they declined to take action . FIFA president Sepp Blatter asserted that the player should be allowed to leave his club , describing the situation as `` modern slavery '' . Despite Ronaldo publicly agreeing with Blatter , he remained at United for another year . Ahead of the 2008 -- 09 season , on 7 July , he underwent ankle surgery , which kept him out of action for 10 weeks . Following his return , he scored his 100th goal in all competitions for United with the first of two free kicks in a 5 -- 0 win against Stoke City on 15 November , which meant he had now scored against all 19 opposition teams in the Premier League at the time . Five days later , he received the third red card of his career when he was sent off against Manchester City . At the close of 2008 , Ronaldo helped United win the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan , assisting the final - winning goal against Liga de Quito and winning the Silver Ball in the process . He subsequently became United 's first Ballon d'Or winner since George Best in 1968 , and the first Premier League player to be named the FIFA World Player of the Year . Ronaldo scored his first Champions League goal of the season , and his first since the final against Chelsea , in a 2 -- 0 victory over Inter Milan , sending United into the quarter - finals . His match - winning goal in the second leg against Porto , a 40 - yard strike , earned him the inaugural FIFA Puskás Award , presented by FIFA in recognition of the best goal of the year ; he later called it the best goal he had ever scored . He scored twice against Arsenal , including a free kick from 39 yards , as United advanced to the final in Rome , where he made little impact in United 's 2 -- 0 defeat to Barcelona . Ronaldo ended his time in England with nine trophies , as United claimed their third successive Premier League title and a Football League Cup . He finished the campaign with 26 goals in all competitions , 16 goals fewer than the previous season , in four more appearances . His final ever goal for Manchester United came on 10 May 2009 with a free kick in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford . Real Madrid 2009 -- 13 : World record transfer and La Liga Championship Ahead of the 2009 -- 10 season , Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for a world record transfer fee at the time , of £ 80 million ( € 94 million ) . His contract , which ran until 2015 , was worth € 11 million per year and contained a € 1 billion buy - out clause . At least 80,000 fans attended his presentation at the Santiago Bernabéu , surpassing the 25 - year record of 75,000 fans who had welcomed Diego Maradona at Napoli . Since club captain Raúl already wore the number 7 , the number Ronaldo wore at Manchester United , Ronaldo received the number 9 shirt , which was presented to him by former Madrid player Alfredo Di Stéfano . As his usual number 7 was unavailable , Ronaldo wore number 9 during his first season at Madrid . Following Raúl 's departure , Ronaldo was handed the number 7 shirt before the 2010 -- 11 season . Ronaldo made his debut in La Liga on 29 August 2009 , against Deportivo La Coruña , and scored from the penalty spot in Madrid 's 3 -- 2 home win . He scored in each of his first four league fixtures with the club , the first Madrid player to do so . His first Champions League goals for the club followed with two free kicks in the first group match against Zürich . His strong start to the season , however , was interrupted when he suffered an ankle injury in October while on international duty , which kept him sidelined for seven weeks . A week after his return , he received his first red card in Spain in a match against Almería . Midway through the season , Ronaldo placed second in the running for the Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year award , behind Lionel Messi of Barcelona , Madrid 's historic rivals . He finished the campaign with 33 goals in all competitions , including a hat - trick in a 4 -- 1 win against Mallorca on 5 May 2010 , his first in the Spanish competition . His first season at Real Madrid ended trophyless . Following Raúl 's departure , Ronaldo was handed the number 7 shirt for Real Madrid before the 2010 -- 11 season . His subsequent return to his Ballon d'Or - winning form was epitomised when , for the first time in his career , he scored four goals in a single match during a 6 -- 1 rout against Racing Santander on 23 October . His haul concluded a goalscoring run of six consecutive matches -- three in La Liga , one in the Champions League , and two for Portugal -- totalling 11 goals , the most he had scored in a single month . Ronaldo subsequently scored further hat - tricks against Athletic Bilbao , Levante , Villarreal , and Málaga . Despite his performance , he failed to make the podium for the inaugural FIFA Ballon d'Or at the end of 2010 . During a historical series of four Clásicos against rivals Barcelona in April 2011 , Ronaldo scored twice to equal his personal record of 42 goals in all competitions in a single season . Although he failed to find the net during Madrid 's eventual elimination in the Champions League semi-finals , he equalised from the penalty spot in the return league game and scored the match - winning goal in the 103rd minute of the Copa del Rey final , winning his first trophy in Spain . Over the next two weeks , Ronaldo scored another four - goal haul against Sevilla , a hat - trick against Getafe , and a brace of free kicks against Villarreal , taking his league total to 38 goals , which equalled the record for most goals scored in a season held by Telmo Zarra and Hugo Sánchez . His two goals in the last match of the season , against Almería , made him the first player in La Liga to score 40 goals . In addition to the Pichichi Trophy , Ronaldo consequently won the European Golden Shoe for a second time , becoming the first player to win the award in two different leagues . He ended his second season at Real Madrid with a total of 53 goals in all competitions . Ronaldo scored 46 league goals during the La Liga championship success in his third season in Spain . During the following campaign , the 2011 -- 12 season , Ronaldo surpassed his previous goalscoring feats to achieve a new personal best of 60 goals across all competitions . His 100th goal for Real Madrid came at Camp Nou in the Supercopa de España , though Barcelona claimed the trophy 5 -- 4 on aggregate . He regained a place on the FIFA Ballon d'Or podium , as runner - up to Messi , after scoring hat - tricks against Real Zaragoza , Rayo Vallecano , Málaga , Osasuna , and Sevilla , the last of which put Madrid on top of the league by the season 's midway point . Despite two goals from Ronaldo , Madrid were subsequently defeated by Barcelona 4 -- 3 on aggregrate in the quarter - finals of the Copa del Rey . He again scored twice , including a penalty , in the Champions League semi-finals against Bayern Munich , resulting in a 3 -- 3 draw , but his penalty kick in the shootout was saved by Manuel Neuer , leading to Madrid 's elimination . Ronaldo found greater team success in the league , as he helped Real Madrid win their first La Liga title in four years , with a record 100 points . Following a hat - trick against Levante , further increasing Madrid 's lead over Barcelona , he scored his 100th league goal for Madrid in a 5 -- 1 win over Real Sociedad on 24 March 2012 , a milestone he reached in just 92 matches across three seasons , breaking the previous club record held by Ferenc Puskás . Another hat - trick in the Madrid derby against Atlético Madrid brought his total to 40 league goals , equalling his record of the previous season . His final league goal of the campaign , against Mallorca , took his total to 46 goals , four short of the new record set by Messi , and earned him the distinction of being the first player to score against all 19 opposition teams in a single season in La Liga . Ronaldo began the 2012 -- 13 season by lifting the Supercopa de España , his third trophy in Spain . With a goal in each leg by the Portuguese , Madrid won the Spanish Super Cup on away goals following a 4 -- 4 aggregate draw against Barcelona . Although Ronaldo publicly commented that he was unhappy with a `` professional issue '' within the club , prompted by his refusal to celebrate his 150th goal for Madrid , his goalscoring rate did not suffer . After netting a hat - trick , including two penalties , against Deportivo La Coruña , he scored his first hat - trick in the Champions League in a 4 -- 1 victory over Ajax . Four days later , he became the first player to score in six successive Clásicos when he hit a brace in a 2 -- 2 draw at Camp Nou . His performances in 2012 again saw Ronaldo voted second in the running for the FIFA Ballon d'Or , finishing runner - up to four - time winner Messi . 2013 -- 15 : consecutive FIFA Ballon d'Or wins and La Décima Following the 2012 -- 13 winter break , Ronaldo captained Real Madrid for the first time in an official match , scoring a brace to lift 10 - man Madrid to a 4 -- 3 victory over Real Sociedad on 6 January . He subsequently became the first non-Spanish player in 60 years to captain Madrid in El Clásico on 30 January , a match which also marked his 500th club appearance . Three days prior , he had scored his 300th club goal as part of a perfect hat - trick against Getafe . Following hat - tricks against Celta Vigo and Sevilla , he scored his 200th goal for Real Madrid on 8 May in a 6 -- 2 win against Málaga , reaching the landmark in 197 games . He helped Madrid reach the Copa del Rey final by scoring a brace in El Clásico , which marked the sixth successive match at Camp Nou in which he had scored , a Real Madrid record . In the final , he headed the opening goal of an eventual 2 -- 1 defeat to Atlético Madrid , but was shown a straight red card in the 114th minute for violent conduct . Real Madrid also failed to defend their La Liga title , finishing runners up to Barcelona . In the first knockout round of the Champions League , Ronaldo faced his former club Manchester United for the first time . After scoring the equaliser in a 1 -- 1 draw at the Santiago Bernabéu , he scored the match - winning goal in a 2 -- 1 victory at Old Trafford , his first return to his former home ground . Ronaldo scored three goals in Madrid 's 5 -- 3 aggregate victory over Galatasaray to see them advance to the semi-finals , He scored Madrid 's only goal in the 4 -- 1 away defeat to Borussia Dortmund , but failed to increase his side 's 2 -- 0 victory in the second leg , as they were eliminated at the semi-final stage for the third consecutive year . Ronaldo had scored 12 goals , finishing as the Champions League top goalscorer for a second time in his career . Accounting for all competitions , he ended the season with a total of 55 goals . Ronaldo scored a record 17 goals during the 2013 -- 14 La Décima campaign . Real Madrid 's failure to win major silverware and reports of division among the players prompted speculation regarding Ronaldo 's future at the club . At the start of the 2013 -- 14 season , however , he signed a new contract that extended his stay by three years to 2018 , with a salary of € 17 million net , making him briefly the highest - paid player in football . He was joined at the club by winger Gareth Bale , whose world record transfer fee of € 100 million surpassed the fee Madrid had paid for Ronaldo four years prior . Together with striker Karim Benzema , they formed an attacking trio popularly dubbed `` BBC '' , an acronym of Bale , Benzema , and Cristiano , and a play off the name of the public service broadcaster . After enjoying a strong goalscoring run during the first half of the campaign , Ronaldo suggested that he was in the best form of his career . By late November , he had scored 32 goals from 22 matches played for both club and country , including hat - tricks against Galatasaray , Sevilla , Real Sociedad , Northern Ireland , and Sweden . He ended 2013 with a total of 69 goals in 59 appearances , his highest year - end goal tally . His efforts earned him the FIFA Ballon d'Or , an amalgamation of the Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year award , for the first time in his career . Concurrently with his individual achievements , Ronaldo enjoyed his greatest team success in Spain to date , as he helped Real Madrid win La Décima , their tenth European Cup . In the knockout phase of the competition , he scored a brace in each leg of a 9 -- 2 aggregate win against Schalke 04 , helping Madrid advance to the quarter - finals . His goal in a 3 -- 0 home win over Borussia Dortmund -- his 100th Champions League match -- took his total for the season to 14 goals , equalling the record Messi had set two years before . After hitting a brace in a 4 -- 0 defeat of Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena , he scored from the penalty spot in the 120th minute of the 4 -- 1 final victory over Atlético Madrid , becoming the first player to score in two European Cup finals for two different winning teams . His overall performance in the final was subdued as a result of patellar tendinitis and related hamstring problems , which had plagued him in the last months of the campaign . Ronaldo played the final against medical advice , later commenting : `` In your life you do not win without sacrifices and you must take risks . '' As the Champions League top goalscorer for the third time , with a record 17 goals , he was named the UEFA Best Player in Europe . In the Copa del Rey , Ronaldo helped Madrid reach the final by scoring a brace of penalties against Atlético Madrid at the Vicente Calderón , the first of which meant he had now scored in every single minute of a 90 - minute football match . His continued issues with his knee and thigh caused him to miss the final , where Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 2 -- 1 to claim the trophy . While Madrid were less successful in La Liga , finishing third , Ronaldo was unmatched as a goalscorer . He scored 31 goals in 30 league games , which earned him the Pichichi and the European Golden Shoe , receiving the latter award jointly with Liverpool striker Luis Suárez . Among his haul was his 400th career goal , in 653 appearances for club and country , which came with a brace against Celta Vigo on 6 January ; he dedicated his goals to compatriot Eusébio , who had died two days before . A last - minute , backheeled volley scored against Valencia on 4 May -- his 50th goal in all competitions -- was recognised as the best goal of the season by the Liga de Fútbol Profesional , which additionally named Ronaldo the Best Player in La Liga . During the next campaign , the 2014 -- 15 season , Ronaldo set a new personal best of 61 goals in all competitions , starting with both goals in Real Madrid 's 2 -- 0 victory over Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup . He subsequently achieved his best - ever goalscoring start to a league campaign , with a record 15 goals in the first eight rounds of La Liga , including a four - goal haul against Elche and hat - tricks against Deportivo La Coruña and Athletic Bilbao . His record 23rd hat - trick in La Liga , scored against Celta Vigo on 6 December , made him the fastest player to reach 200 goals in the Spanish league , as he reached the milestone in only his 178th game .

A 2 -- 1 defeat against Valencia in the first match of 2015 , despite his opening goal , ended Real Madrid 's Spanish record winning streak of 22 matches in all competitions . Their season continued unsuccessfully as they failed to win a major trophy , earning a second - place league finish and a semi-final exit in Europe . In the latter competition , Ronaldo extended his run of scoring away to a record 12 matches with his strike in a 2 -- 0 win against Schalke 04 , before hitting a brace in the 3 -- 4 return defeat that allowed Madrid to progress to the quarter - finals . He then scored both of his side 's goals in the semi-finals against Juventus , where Madrid were eliminated 2 -- 3 on aggregate . With 10 goals , he finished the campaign as top scorer for a third consecutive season , alongside Messi and Neymar . In La Liga , where Madrid finished second , Ronaldo went on a prolific goalscoring run towards the very end of the season . For the first time in his career , he scored five goals in one game , including an eight - minute hat - trick , in a 9 -- 1 rout of Granada on 5 April . His 300th goal for his club followed three days later in a 2 -- 0 win against Rayo Vallecano . Subsequent hat - tricks against Sevilla , Espanyol , and Getafe took his number of hat - tricks for Real Madrid to 31 , surpassing Di Stéfano 's club record of 28 trebles . As a result , Ronaldo finished the season with 48 goals , two ahead of his total in the 2011 -- 12 season , despite having missed two matches in February for assaulting a Córdoba player . In addition to a second consecutive Pichichi , he won the European Golden Shoe for a record fourth time . At the start of his seventh season at Real Madrid , the 2015 -- 16 campaign , Ronaldo became the club 's all - time top scorer , first in the league and then in all competitions .

A month later , on 17 October , he again surpassed Raúl when he scored the second goal in a 3 -- 0 defeat of Levante at the Bernabéu to take his overall total for the club to 324 goals . Ronaldo also became the all - time top scorer in the Champions League with a hat - trick in the first group match against Shakhtar Donetsk , having finished the previous season level with Messi on 77 goals . A brace against Malmö FF , scoring in a 2 -- 0 away win on 30 September , saw him reach the milestone of 500 career goals for both club and country .

By March 2016 , Ronaldo had scored 252 goals in 228 matches in La Liga to become the competition 's second - highest scorer . Despite finishing runner - up to Messi for the FIFA Ballon d'Or , Ronaldo received criticism for his form and performances against top teams , with 14 of his goals coming against Espanyol and Malmö . However , during the second half of the season , his form gradually improved . By scoring four goals in a 7 -- 1 home win over Celta de Vigo on 5 March 2016 , Ronaldo arrived at 252 goals in La Liga to become the competition 's second - highest scorer in history behind Messi . After netting the match - winning goal for 10 - man Madrid in a 2 -- 1 Clásico victory on 2 April , he scored a hat - trick against VfL Wolfsburg to send his club into the Champions League semi-finals despite a 2 -- 0 first - leg defeat . The treble took his tally in the competition to 16 goals , making him the top scorer for the fourth consecutive season , and the fifth overall . Suffering apparent fitness issues , Ronaldo gave a poorly - received performance in the final against Atlético Madrid , in a repeat of the 2014 final , though his penalty in the subsequent shoot - out secured La Undécima , Madrid 's 11th victory . For the sixth successive year , he ended the season having scored more than 50 goals across all competitions . For his efforts during the season , he received the UEFA Best Player in Europe Award for a second time . Ronaldo missed Real Madrid 's first three matches of the 2016 -- 17 season , including the 2016 UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla , as he continued to rehabilitate the knee injury he suffered against France in the final of Euro 2016 .

On 12 April , in the 2016 -- 17 UEFA Champions League quarter - final against Bayern Munich , Ronaldo scored two goals in a 2 -- 1 away win to give Madrid the win and the lead going into the second leg . The two goals saw him make history in becoming the first player to reach 100 goals in UEFA club competition .

He would score his 650th career goal in a 1 -- 1 draw against Atlético Madrid on 8 April . On 11 April , he scored the goal Real Madrid needed to advance to the semi-final , in the second leg of the Champions League quarter - final at home to Juventus , from a 98th - minute injury time penalty in a 3 -- 1 defeat , with an overall 4 -- 3 aggregate win .

Juventus 2018 -- present After a week of transfer speculation , on 10 July 2018 , Ronaldo signed a four - year contract with Italian club Juventus after completing a € 100 million transfer , plus solidarity contributions to Ronaldo 's youth clubs and an additional € 12 million in other fees . The transfer was the highest ever for a player over 30 years old , and the highest ever paid by an Italian club . Upon signing , Ronaldo cited his need for a new challenge as his rationale for departing Real Madrid . International career 2001 -- 07 : youth level and early international career Ronaldo began his international career with Portugal at the 2001 European Youth Summer Olympic Festival , debuting in a 3 -- 1 defeat to Finland . The following year he would represent his country under - 17 side at the 2002 UEFA European Under - 17 Football Championship , where they failed to progress past the group stage .

During his international youth career , Ronaldo would go on to represent the under - 15 team , under - 17 , under - 20 , under - 21 , and under - 23 national sides , amassing 34 youth caps and scoring 18 goals overall . At age 18 , Ronaldo made his first senior appearance for Portugal in a 1 -- 0 victory over Kazakhstan on 20 August 2003 . He was subsequently called up for UEFA Euro 2004 , held in his home country , and scored his first international goal in a 2 -- 1 group stage loss to eventual champions Greece . After converting his penalty in a shootout against England at the quarter - final stage , he helped Portugal reach the final by scoring the opening goal in a 2 -- 1 win over the Netherlands , but the crucial last match ended in a 0 -- 1 defeat . He was featured in the team of the tournament , having provided two assists in addition to his two goals . Ronaldo was the second - highest scorer in the European qualification for the 2006 FIFA World Cup with seven goals . During the tournament , he scored his first World Cup goal against Iran with a penalty kick in Portugal 's second match of the group stage . In the quarter - finals against England , his Manchester United teammate Wayne Rooney was sent off for stamping on Portugal defender Ricardo Carvalho . Although the referee later clarified that the red card was only due to Rooney 's infraction , the English media speculated that Ronaldo had influenced his decision by aggressively complaining , after which he was seen in replays winking at Portugal 's bench following Rooney 's dismissal . Ronaldo went on to score the vital winning penalty during the penalty shoot out which sent Portugal into the Semi-Finals . Ronaldo was subsequently booed during their 1 -- 0 semi-final defeat to France . FIFA 's Technical Study Group overlooked him for the tournament 's Best Young Player award and handed it to Germany 's Lukas Podolski , citing his behaviour as a factor in the decision . Following the 2006 World Cup , Ronaldo would go on to represent Portugal in four qualifying games for Euro 2008 , scoring two goals in the process . 2007 -- 12 : assuming the captaincy Ronaldo , pictured playing against Germany at Euro 2012 , was made captain in 2008 .

While he scored eight goals in the qualification , the second - highest tally , he scored just one goal in the tournament , netting the second goal of their 3 -- 1 win in the group stage match against the Czech Republic ; in the same game , he also set - up Portugal 's third goal in injury time , which was scored by Quaresma , and was named man of the match for his performance . Portugal were eliminated in the quarter - finals with a 3 -- 2 loss against eventual finalists Germany . After Portugal 's unsuccessful performance in the European Championship , Luiz Felipe Scolari was replaced as coach by Carlos Queiroz , formerly the assistant manager at United . Queiroz made Ronaldo the squad 's permanent captain in July 2008 . Ronaldo failed to score a single goal in the qualification for the 2010 World Cup , as Portugal narrowly avoided a premature elimination from the tournament with a play - off victory over Bosnia . At the group stage of the World Cup , he was named man of the match in all three matches against Côte d'Ivoire , North Korea , and Brazil . His only goal of the tournament came in their 7 -- 0 rout of North Korea , which marked his first international goal in 16 months . Portugal 's World Cup ended with a 1 -- 0 loss against eventual champions Spain in the round of 16 .

After Portugal failed to qualify during the regular campaign , Ronaldo scored all four of the team 's goals in the play - offs against Sweden , which ensured their place at the tournament . His hat - trick in the second leg took his international tally to 47 goals , equaling Pauleta 's record . Ronaldo subsequently scored twice in a 5 -- 1 friendly win over Cameroon on 5 March 2014 to become his country 's all - time top scorer . Ronaldo took part in the tournament despite suffering from patellar tendinitis and a related thigh injury , potentially risking his career .

At the start of the tournament , however , Ronaldo failed to convert his chances in Portugal 's draws against Iceland and Austria , despite taking a total of 20 shots on goal . In the latter match , he overtook Luís Figo as his nation 's most capped player with his 128th international appearance , which ended scoreless after he missed a penalty in the second half . With two goals and an assist in the last match of the group stage , a 3 -- 3 draw against Hungary , Ronaldo became the first player to score in four European Championships , having made a record 17 appearances in the tournament . Though placed third in their group behind Hungary and Iceland , his team qualified for the knockout round as a result of the competition 's newly expanded format .

Player Profile Style of play Ronaldo in action for Real Madrid against Espanyol during the 2012 -- 13 season A versatile attacker , Ronaldo is capable of playing on either wing as well as through the centre of the pitch , and , while ostensibly right - footed , is very strong with both feet . He ranks among the world 's fastest footballers , both with and without the ball . Tactically , Ronaldo has undergone several evolutions throughout his career . While at Sporting and during his first season at Manchester United , he was typically deployed as a traditional winger on the right side of midfield , where he regularly looked to deliver crosses into the penalty area . In this position , he was able to use his pace and acceleration , agility , and technical skills to take on opponents in one - on - one situations . Ronaldo became noted for his dribbling and flair , often displaying an array of tricks and feints , such as the step overs that became his trademark . Ronaldo controlling the ball on his chest during a 2010 -- 11 La Liga game against Almería As Ronaldo matured , he underwent a major physical transformation , developing a muscular body type that allows him to retain possession of the ball . His strength , combined with his elevation and height of 1.85 m ( 6 ft 1 in ) , gives him an edge in winning aerial challenges for balls . These attributes allow him to function as a target - man , and makes him an aerial goal threat in the penalty area ; consequently , many of his goals have been headers . Allied with his increased stamina and work - rate , his goalscoring ability improved drastically on the left wing where he was given the positional freedom to move into the centre to finish attacks . He also increasingly played a creative role for his team , often dropping deep to pick up the ball , participate in the build - up of plays , and create chances for his teammates , courtesy of his good vision and passing ability . Pictured during El Clásico in 2011 , Ronaldo in his familiar pose before striking a free kick In his final seasons at United , Ronaldo played an even more attacking and central role , functioning both as a striker and as a supporting forward , or even as an attacking midfielder on occasion . He developed into a prolific goalscorer , capable of finishing well both inside the penalty area and from distance with an accurate and powerful shot , courtesy of his striking ability . An accurate penalty kick taker , he also became a set piece specialist , renowned for his powerful , bending free kicks , though his ability in this regard deteriorated later on in his career . At Real Madrid , Ronaldo continued to play a more offensive role , while his creative and defensive duties became more limited , although not entirely diminished . Initially deployed as a centre forward , he was later moved back onto the left wing , though in a free tactical role ; this position allowed him to drift into the centre at will to get onto the end of crosses and score , or draw out defenders with his movement off the ball and leave space for teammates to exploit . Madrid 's counter-attacking style of play also allowed him to become a more efficient and consistent player , as evidenced by his record - breaking goalscoring feats . However , while he mainly drew praise in the media for his prolific goalscoring , he also demonstrated his ability as an effective creator in this role . From 2013 onwards , he effectively adapted his style to the physical effects of ageing with increasingly reduced off - the - ball movement and general involvement , completing fewer dribbles and passes per game , and instead focusing on short - distance creating and goalscoring . Since 2017 , Ronaldo has adapted his style of play yet again to become more of a free - roaming centre forward , a role in which he has continued to excel and maintain a prolific goalscoring record ; in this position , he has earned praise in the media for his intelligent movement , excellent positional sense , link - up play , clinical finishing , and opportunism , as well as his ability to lose or anticipate his markers , find space in the box , and score from few opportunities . Reception `` In the six years ( Manchester United ) had him , you just saw his game grow all the time , and he was a fantastic player . Now you see the complete player . His decision - making , his maturity , his experience , plus all the great skills he has got , they all make him the complete player . '' -- Former manager Alex Ferguson , January 2013 Ronaldo is widely regarded as one of the two best players of his generation , alongside Lionel Messi . Ronaldo quickly established himself among the world 's best players in his early 20s , featuring as the core component for Manchester United in the mid-to - late 2000s . However , after winning his first Ballon d'Or by a record - high vote count at age 23 , the public debate regarding his qualities as a player moved beyond his status in contemporary football to the possibility that he was one of the greatest players in history . Universally acclaimed for his prolific and consistent goalscoring ability , he is considered a decisive player , who stands out in games and who can be a game changer , especially in important and high - pressured situations . Ronaldo is noted for his work ethic , elite body conditioning , and dedication to improvement on the training pitch , as well being regarded as a natural leader . His drive and determination to succeed are fuelled by a desire to be talked about alongside Pelé and Diego Maradona once retiring . Ronaldo has at times , however , been criticised for simulating when tackled . In addition to this , he was also occasionally criticised early in his career by manager Alex Ferguson , teammates and the media for being a selfish or overly flamboyant player . During his career , Ronaldo has also been described as having an `` arrogant image '' on the pitch , with Ronaldo stating that he had become a `` victim '' , because of how he was portrayed in the media . He is often seen moaning , gesticulating and scowling while trying to inspire his team to victory , with Ronaldo insisting that his competitive nature should not be mistaken for arrogance . His managers , teammates and various journalists have commented that this reputation has caused an unfair image of him . In 2014 , Ronaldo told France Football that he had made a `` mistake '' when he said in 2011 , `` People are jealous of me as I am young , handsome and rich '' , adding that he had matured since then and fans understood him better . Comparisons to Lionel Messi Main article : Messi -- Ronaldo rivalry Ronaldo with Lionel Messi before an international friendly between Portugal and Argentina in Geneva , Switzerland , on 9 February 2011 Both players have scored in at least two UEFA Champions League finals and have regularly broken the 50 - goal barrier in a single season . Sports journalists and pundits regularly argue the individual merits of both players in an attempt to argue who they believe is the best player in modern football . It has been compared to sports rivalries such as the Muhammad Ali -- Joe Frazier rivalry in boxing , the Borg -- McEnroe rivalry in tennis , and the Ayrton Senna -- Alain Prost rivalry from Formula One motor racing . `` It 's part of my life now . People are bound to compare us . He tries to do his best for his club and for his national team , as I do , and there is a degree of rivalry with both of us trying to do the best for the teams we represent . '' -- Cristiano Ronaldo commenting on his rivalry with Messi . Some commentators choose to analyse the differing physiques and playing styles of the two , while part of the debate revolves around the contrasting personalities of the two players : Ronaldo is sometimes depicted as an arrogant and theatrical showoff , while Messi is portrayed as a shy , humble character . In a 2012 interview , Ronaldo commented on the rivalry , saying `` I think we push each other sometimes in the competition , this is why the competition is so high '' , while Ronaldo 's manager during his time at Manchester United , Alex Ferguson , opined that `` I do n't think the rivalry against each other bothers them . I think they have their own personal pride in terms of wanting to be the best '' . Messi himself denied any rivalry , saying that it was `` only the media , the press , who wants us to be at loggerheads but I 've never fought with Cristiano '' . Responding to the claims that he and Messi do not get on well on a personal level , Ronaldo commented , `` We do n't have a relationship outside the world of football , just as we do n't with a lot of other players '' , before adding that in years to come he hopes they can laugh about it together , stating ; `` We have to look on this rivalry with a positive spirit , because it 's a good thing . '' Representing archrivals Barcelona and Real Madrid , the two players faced each other at least twice every season in the world 's biggest club game , El Clásico , which is among the world 's most viewed annual sporting events . In a debate at Oxford Union in October 2013 , when asked whether FIFA president Sepp Blatter preferred Messi or Ronaldo , Blatter paid tribute to the work ethic of the Argentine before taking a swipe at Ronaldo , claiming `` one of them has more expenses for the hairdresser than the other '' . Real Madrid demanded -- and promptly received -- a full apology , and the Portuguese issued his own riposte with a mock - salute celebration after scoring a penalty against Sevilla , after Blatter had described him as a `` commander '' on the pitch .

Nacional renamed its youth campus Cristiano Ronaldo Campus Futebol ( Cristiano Ronaldo Football Campus ) . In December 2013 , Ronaldo opened a museum , Museu CR7 , in his hometown of Funchal , Madeira , to house trophies and memorabilia of his life and playing career ; the museum is an official sponsor of the local football team União da Madeira . At a ceremony held at the Belém Palace in January 2014 , President of Portugal Aníbal Cavaco Silva raised Ronaldo to the rank of Grand Officer of the Order of Prince Henry , `` to distinguish an athlete of world renown who has been a symbol of Portugal globally , contributing to the international projection of the country and setting an example of tenacity for future generations '' . A bronze statue of Ronaldo , designed by artist Ricardo Madeira Veloso , was unveiled in Funchal on 21 December 2014 . In June 2010 , during the build - up to the World Cup , Ronaldo became the fourth footballer -- after Steven Gerrard , Pelé and David Beckham -- to be represented as a waxwork at Madame Tussauds London .

The unveiling of the rebranded terminal took place on 29 March 2017 , which included a bust of his head being presented . The bust and the name change were controvertial , with the lack of the bust 's likeness to Ronaldo being ridiculed by comedians , including Saturday Night Live , while the name change was subject to much debate locally by some politicians and citizens , who even started a petition against the move , an action criticised by President of Madeira Miguel Albuquerque . A year later , sports website Bleacher Report commissioned sculptor Emanuel Santos to create another bust . However , this bust was never used ; instead , a new one was made by a Spanish sculptor , shown to the public on 15 June 2018 . Personal life Family and relationships Ronaldo 's children Via a surrogate mother Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Junior ( born 2010 ) Via a surrogate mother Eva Maria ( born 2017 ) Mateo ( born 2017 ) By Georgina Rodriguez Alana Martina ( born 2017 ) Ronaldo 's father , José Dinis Aveiro , died of an alcoholism - related liver condition at age 52 in September 2005 when Ronaldo was 20 . Ronaldo has said that he does not drink alcohol , and he received libel damages over a Daily Mirror article that reported him drinking heavily in a nightclub while recovering from an injury in July 2008 . Ronaldo became father to a son in June 2010 , announcing that he had full custody of the child and would not be publicly revealing the identity of his son 's mother . In January 2015 , Ronaldo announced his five - year relationship with Russian model Irina Shayk ended . In June 2017 , Ronaldo announced he had become the father to twins , a daughter Eva Maria and a son Mateo . Five months later , his girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez gave birth to their daughter Alana Martina . Philanthropy Ronaldo has made contributions to various charitable causes throughout his career . Television footage of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami showed an eight - year - old boy survivor named Martunis wearing a number 7 Portuguese football shirt who was stranded for 19 days after his family was killed . Following this , Ronaldo visited Aceh , Indonesia , to raise funds for rehabilitation and reconstruction . After accepting undisclosed damages from a libel case against The Sun newspaper in 2008 , Ronaldo donated the damages to a charity in Madeira . In 2009 , Ronaldo donated £ 100,000 to the hospital that saved his mother 's life in Madeira following her battle with cancer , so that they could build a cancer centre on the island . In support of the victims of the 2010 Madeira flood , Ronaldo pledged to play in a charity match in Madeira between Primeira Liga club Porto and players from Madeiran - based clubs Marítimo and Nacional . In 2012 , Ronaldo and his agent paid for specialist treatment for a nine - year - old Canarian boy with apparently terminal cancer . In November 2012 , Ronaldo sold the golden boot he had won in 2011 for € 1.5 million and gave the money to fund schools for children in Gaza .

In the app , fans can select from among 68 photos of Ronaldo in different outfits and poses , and scroll through 39 filters to apply to their selfies . Controversies In April 2017 , a story was published by Der Spiegel based on leaked documents provided by Football Leaks relating to an alleged rape by Ronaldo , stating the alleged assault occurred in 2009 but that a legal agreement and accompanying non-disclosure agreement was entered into , resulting in the alleged charges being dropped . Ronaldo 's agent Jorge Mendes denied the claims , labelling them `` journalistic fiction '' , with Ronaldo stating it was consensual sex . Der Spiegel published a further story in response to the denial , alleging that text messages sent by Ronaldo showed he was aware of the legal negotiations . According to Der Spiegel , the woman received US $375,000 in the settlement . In July 2017 , Ronaldo was charged with fraudulently evading almost € 15 million in tax between 2011 and 2014 , a claim he denies . In May 2018 , Spanish tax authorities rejected Ronaldo 's settlement offer of € 14 million . It was reported on 15 June , just before Spain played Portugal in the 2018 World Cup , Ronaldo had been sentenced to two years in jail ( suspended ) and fined € 18.8 million after reaching a deal with Spanish authorities . The sentence can be served under probation , without any jail time , so long as he does not reoffend . On 15 June 2018 , Ronaldo paid $21.7 million in restitution regarding his past tax frauds in order to avoid jail time . The Spanish government would later reduce the amount by 2 millions euros .

how old was ronaldo when he went to manchester united
[ "Born and raised on the Portuguese island of Madeira, Ronaldo was diagnosed with a racing heart at age 15. He underwent an operation to treat his condition, and began his senior club career playing for Sporting CP, before signing with Manchester United at age 18 in 2003. After winning his first trophy, the FA Cup, during his first season in England, he helped United win three successive Premier League titles, a UEFA Champions League title, and a FIFA Club World Cup. By age 22, he had received Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year nominations and at age 23, he won his first Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards. In 2009, Ronaldo was the subject of the most expensive association football transfer[note 3] when he moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a transfer worth €94 million (£80 million).\n" ]

The Allegheny River joins with the Monongahela River to form the Ohio River at the `` Point '' of Point State Park in Downtown Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania . The Allegheny River is , by volume , the main headstream of both the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers .

Further information : Geography of Pennsylvania The river is approximately 325 miles ( 523 km ) long , running through the U.S. states of New York and Pennsylvania . It drains a rural dissected plateau of 11,580 square miles ( 30,000 km ) in the northern Allegheny Plateau , providing the northeastern most drainage in the watershed of the Mississippi River . Its tributaries reach to within 8 miles ( 13 km ) of Lake Erie in southwestern New York . The Allegheny Valley has been one of the most productive areas of fossil fuel extraction in United States history , with its extensive deposits of coal , petroleum , and natural gas . Etymology ( edit ) The Allegheny River is named as Ohio on a sketch by George Washington . The name Allegheny probably comes from Lenape welhik hane or oolikhanna , which means ' best flowing river of the hills ' or ' beautiful stream ' . There is a Lenape legend of a tribe called `` Allegewi '' who used to live along the river . The following account of the origin of the name Allegheny was given in 1780 by Moravian missionary David Zeisberger : `` All this land and region , stretching as far as the creeks and waters that flow into the Alleghene the Delawares called Alligewinenk , which means ' a land into which they came from distant parts ' . The river itself , however , is called Alligewi Sipo . The whites have made Alleghene out of this , the Six Nations calling the river the Ohio . '' Indians , including the Lenni Lenape and Iroquois , considered the Allegheny and Ohio rivers as the same , as is suggested by a New York State road sign on Interstate 86 that refers to the Allegheny River also as Ohiːyo ' . The Geographic Names Information System lists O - hee - yo and O - hi - o as variant names . The river is called Ohi : ' i : o ` ( river beautiful ) in the Seneca language . In New York , areas around the river are often named with the alternate spelling Allegany in reference to the river ; for example , the Village of Allegany and Allegany State Park . Port Allegany , located along the river in Pennsylvania near the border with New York , also follows this pattern . Course ( edit ) Much of the Allegheny River 's course is through hilly woodlands . The Allegheny River rises in north central Pennsylvania , on Cobb Hill in central Potter County , approximately 10 miles ( 16 km ) south of the New York border . It flows west past Coudersport then turns north at Port Allegany and proceeds into western New York , looping westward across southern Cattaraugus County for approximately 30 miles ( 48 km ) , past Portville , Olean , St. Bonaventure University and Salamanca and flowing through Seneca Indian Nation lands close to the northern boundary of Allegany State Park before re-entering northwestern Pennsylvania approximately 20 miles ( 32 km ) southeast of Jamestown , New York . It flows in a broad zigzag course generally southward across Western Pennsylvania ; first flowing southwest past Warren , Tidioute , Tionesta , Oil City , and Franklin , forming much of the northwestern boundary of Allegheny National Forest . South of Franklin it turns southeast across Clarion County in a meandering course , then turns again southwest across Armstrong County , flowing past Kittanning , Ford City , Clinton , and Freeport . The Highland Park Bridge crosses the Allegheny River at Aspinwall , Pennsylvania , just above Allegheny River Lock and Dam No. 2 . The river enters both Allegheny and Westmoreland counties , the Pittsburgh suburbs , and the City of Pittsburgh from the northeast . It passes Sligo , Karns , and Natrona in Harrison Township ; Metcalf , Braeburn , Lower Burrell , and New Kensington ; Brackenridge , Tarentum , Creighton , Clyde , Springdale , Harmarville , Plum Borough , Oakmont , Verona , PennHills , Blawnox , O'hara Township , Aspinwall , Sharpsburg , Etna , Millvale , Lawrenceville , Highland Park , the North Side , Downtown Pittsburgh , and Point State Park . The Allegheny joins with the Monongahela River at the `` Point '' in Downtown Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania to form the Ohio River . Water from the Allegheny River eventually flows into the Gulf of Mexico via the Ohio and Mississippi rivers . Tributaries ( edit ) Main article : List of tributaries of the Allegheny River In its upper reaches , the Allegheny River is joined from the south by Potato Creek 1.7 miles ( 2.7 km ) downstream of Coryville , Pennsylvania and from the north by Olean Creek at Olean , New York . Tunungwant `` Tuna '' Creek joins the river from the south in Carrollton , New York ( flowing north from Bradford , Pennsylvania ) ; the Great Valley Creek and Little Valley Creek join the river from the north at Salamanca , New York before becoming the Allegheny Reservoir . After re-entering Pennsylvania , the river is joined from the east by Kinzua Creek 10 miles ( 16 km ) upstream of Warren ; from the north by Conewango Creek at Warren ; from the west by Brokenstraw Creek ; from the east by East Hickory Creek at East Hickory ; from the east by Tionesta Creek at Tionesta ; from the north by Oil Creek at Oil City ; from the west by French Creek at Franklin ; from the east by the Clarion River , a principal tributary , at Parker ; from the east by Crooked Creek southeast of Kittanning ; and from the east by the Kiskiminetas River , another principal tributary , at Schenley . Buffalo Creek enters at Freeport , Chartiers Run enters at Lower Burrell , Bull Creek enters at Tarentum , Pucketa Creek enters near New Kensington , Riddle Run enters at Springdale , and Girtys Run enters at Millvale . Many additional streams enter or join with the Allegheny River along its course . River modifications ( edit ) The eastern part of Allegheny Islands State Park and the C.W. Bill Young Lock and Dam ( No. 3 ) on the Allegheny River Navigation ( edit ) The Allegheny River has eight locks and fixed - crest dams ( numbered two through nine ) , which form corresponding pools . Allegheny River Lock and Dam No. 2 Allegheny River Lock and Dam No. 3 Allegheny River Lock and Dam No. 4 Allegheny River Lock and Dam No. 5 Allegheny River Lock and Dam No. 6 Allegheny River Lock and Dam No. 7 Allegheny River Lock and Dam No. 8 Allegheny River Lock and Dam No. 9 Flood control ( edit ) The river is also impounded by the Kinzua Dam in northwestern Pennsylvania , resulting in the Allegheny Reservoir . The Seneca Pumped Storage Generating Station is associated with Kinzua Dam . Crossings ( edit ) Main article : List of crossings of the Allegheny River Numerous bridges and tunnels span the river throughout its course . The Allegheny River Tunnel , utilized by Pittsburgh Light Rail , went into service in 2012 . History ( edit ) In the 16th century , control of the river valley passed back - and - forth between Algonquian - speaking Shawnee and the Iroquois . By the time of the arrival of the French in the early 18th century , the Shawnee were once again in control and formed an alliance with the French against the incursion of British settlement across the Allegheny Mountains . The conflict over the expansion of British settlement into the Allegheny Valley and the surrounding Ohio Country was a primary cause of the French and Indian War in the 1750s . During the war , the village of Kittanning -- the principal Shawnee settlement on the river -- was completely destroyed by British reprisal raids from Central Pennsylvania . Nevertheless , the British , after gaining control of the area in the 1763 Treaty of Paris , kept the area closed to white settlement , in part to repair and maintain relations with the Native Americans . The pressure to open the river valley and the surrounding area to settlement is considered by historians to be one of the root causes of the American Revolutionary War in the following decade . After the war , the entire river valley became part of the United States of America . During the 19th century , the river became a principal means of navigation in the upper Ohio valley , especially for the transport of coal . Although the building of the railroads lessened the importance of the river somewhat , the lower river ( navigable as far as East Brady , Pennsylvania through locks ) has continued to serve as route of commercial transportation until the present day . In 1859 , the first U.S. petroleum was drilled north of the river at Titusville . One of the underlying premises of the Genesee Valley Canal was its connection to the river , opening a trade route from Rochester , New York to the west . The advent of the railroads destroyed any interest that Pennsylvania might have had in participating by improving navigation on the river . Seneca Chief Cornplanter In 1965 , the completion of the federally sponsored Kinzua Dam for flood - control in northwestern Pennsylvania east of Warren created the long Allegheny Reservoir , part of which is included in the Allegheny National Recreation Area . The dam flooded parts of lands deeded `` forever '' to the Seneca Nation of Indians by the 1794 Treaty of Canandaigua , and to lands given to Cornplanter and his descendants . The event was described in the Johnny Cash song `` As Long as the Grass Shall Grow '' from the 1964 album Bitter Tears : Ballads of the American Indian , which focused on the history of and problems facing Native Americans in the United States . The construction of the dam and the filling of the Allegheny Reservoir also necessitated the elimination of the small village of Corydon , which was located at the confluence of Willow Creek with the Allegheny River ; and the small village of Kinzua , which was located at the confluence of Kinzua Creek with the Allegheny River . All residents of both villages were forced to move . The Kinzua Dam and Allegheny Reservoir Many prominent individuals opposed the construction of the dam at that time because of the damage it would do to Seneca lands , including Pennsylvania Congressman John P. Saylor of Johnstown , and Howard Zahniser , executive director of The Wilderness Society and native of Tionesta -- a small settlement located along the Allegheny River several miles downstream from Warren . During the campaign for the 1960 United States presidential election , John F. Kennedy assured the Seneca Nation that he would oppose the dam if elected . However , he failed to follow through on his pledge upon becoming president . In 1992 , 86.6 miles ( 139.4 km ) of the Allegheny River was designated Wild and Scenic . This designation comprises three segments of the river located in Warren , Forest , and Venango counties . In 2008 , Katie Spotz became the first person to swim the entire 325 miles ( 523 km ) of the Allegheny River ; she was accompanied by safety kayaker , James Hendershott . The team began at the river 's source in Raymond , Pennsylvania on July 22 and finished at the `` Point '' in Downtown Pittsburgh on August 21 . In 2017 , Rye Development received a licence from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to construct a hydroelectric plant to replace the Highland Park dam . Construction of the 17 - megawatt plant was set to begin in 2018 .

Jump up ^ Alleghany , or as some prefer to write it , Allegheny , -- the Algonkin name of the Ohio River , but now restricted to one of its branches , -- is probably ( Delaware ) welhik - hanné or ( oo ) lik - hanné , ' the best ( or , the fairest ) river . ' Welhik ( as Zeisberger wrote it ) is the inanimate form of the adjectival , meaning ' best , ' ' most beautiful . ' In his Vocabulary , Zeisberger gave this synthesis , with slight change of orthography , as `` Wulach'neü '' ( or ( oo ) lakhanne ( oo ) , as Eliot would have written it , ) with the free translation , `` a fine River , without Falls . '' The name was indeed more likely to belong to rivers ' without falls ' or other obstruction to the passage of canoes , but its literal meaning is , as its composition shows , `` best rapid - stream , '' or `` finest rapid - stream ; '' `` La Belle Riviere '' of the French , and the Oue - yo _́ or O hee _́ yo Gä - hun _́ - dä , `` good river '' or `` the beautiful river , '' of the Senecas . For this translation of the name we have very respectable authority , -- that of Christian Frederick Post , a Moravian of Pennsylvania , who lived seventeen years with the Muhhekan Indians and was twice married among them , and whose knowledge of the Indian languages enabled him to render important services to the colony , as a negotiator with the Delawares and Shawanese of the Ohio , in the French war . In his `` Journal from Philadelphia to the Ohio '' in 1758 , after mention of the ' Alleghenny ' river , he says : `` The Ohio , as it is called by the Sennecas . Alleghenny is the name of the same river in the Delaware language . Both words signify the fine or fair river . '' La Metairie , the notary of La Salle 's expedition , `` calls the Ohio , the Olighinsipou , or Aleghin ; evidently an Algonkin name , '' -- as Dr. Shea remarks . Heckewelder says that the Delawares `` still call the Allegany ( Ohio ) river , Alligéwi Sipu , '' -- `` the river of the Alligewi '' as he chooses to translate it . In one form , we have wulik - hannésipu , ' best rapid - stream long - river ; ' in the other , wuliké - sipu , ' best long - river . ' Heckewelder 's derivation of the name , on the authority of a Delaware legend , from the mythic ' Alligewi ' or ' Talligewi , ' -- `` a race of Indians said to have once inhabited that country , '' who , after great battles fought in pre-historic times , were driven from it by the all - conquering Delawares , -- is of no value , unless supported by other testimony .

Nullification Crisis

Pennsylvania Texas annexation Mexican -- American War Wilmot Proviso Manifest destiny Underground Railroad Nashville Convention Compromise of 1850 Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 Uncle Tom 's Cabin Kansas -- Nebraska Act Ostend Manifesto Bleeding Kansas Caning of Charles Sumner Dred Scott v. Sandford The Impending Crisis of the South Brown 's raid on Harpers Ferry 1860 presidential election Crittenden Compromise Secession of Southern States Star of the West Corwin Amendment Battle of Fort Sumter The Nullification Crisis was a United States sectional political crisis in 1832 -- 1837 , during the presidency of Andrew Jackson , which involved a confrontation between South Carolina and the federal government . It ensued after South Carolina declared that the federal Tariffs of 1828 and 1832 were unconstitutional and therefore null and void within the sovereign boundaries of the state . The U.S. suffered an economic downturn throughout the 1820s , and South Carolina was particularly affected . Many South Carolina politicians blamed the change in fortunes on the national tariff policy that developed after the War of 1812 to promote American manufacturing over its European competition . The controversial and highly protective Tariff of 1828 ( known to its detractors as the `` Tariff of Abominations '' ) was enacted into law during the presidency of John Quincy Adams . The tariff was opposed in the South and parts of New England . By 1828 , South Carolina state politics increasingly organized around the tariff issue . Its opponents expected that the election of Jackson as President would result in the tariff being significantly reduced . When the Jackson administration failed to take any actions to address their concerns , the most radical faction in the state began to advocate that the state itself declare the tariff null and void within South Carolina . In Washington , an open split on the issue occurred between Jackson and Vice President John C. Calhoun , a native South Carolinian and the most effective proponent of the constitutional theory of state nullification . On July 14 , 1832 , before Calhoun had resigned the Vice Presidency in order to run for the Senate where he could more effectively defend nullification , Jackson signed into law the Tariff of 1832 . This compromise tariff received the support of most northerners and half of the southerners in Congress . The reductions were too little for South Carolina , and on November 24 , 1832 , a state convention adopted the Ordinance of Nullification , which declared that the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832 were unconstitutional and unenforceable in South Carolina after February 1 , 1833 . Military preparations to resist anticipated federal enforcement were initiated by the state . On March 1 , 1833 , Congress passed both the Force Bill -- authorizing the President to use military forces against South Carolina -- and a new negotiated tariff , the Compromise Tariff of 1833 , which was satisfactory to South Carolina . The South Carolina convention reconvened and repealed its Nullification Ordinance on March 15 , 1833 , but three days later nullified the Force Bill as a symbolic gesture to maintain its principles . The crisis was over , and both sides could find reasons to claim victory . The tariff rates were reduced and stayed low to the satisfaction of the South , but the states ' rights doctrine of nullification remained controversial . By the 1850s the issues of the expansion of slavery into the western territories and the threat of the Slave Power became the central issues in the nation . Since the Nullification Crisis , the doctrine of states ' rights has been asserted again by opponents of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 , proponents of California 's Specific Contract Act of 1863 ( which nullified the Legal Tender Act of 1862 ) , opponents of Federal acts prohibiting the sale and possession of marijuana in the first decade of the 21st century , and opponents of implementation of laws and regulations pertaining to firearms from the late 1900s up to 2013 .

Ellis wrote : `` By creating a national government with the authority to act directly upon individuals , by denying to the state many of the prerogatives that they formerly had , and by leaving open to the central government the possibility of claiming for itself many powers not explicitly assigned to it , the Constitution and Bill of Rights as finally ratified substantially increased the strength of the central government at the expense of the states . '' The extent of this change and the problem of the actual distribution of powers between state and the federal governments would be a matter of political and ideological discussion up to the Civil War and beyond . In the early 1790s the debate centered on Alexander Hamilton 's nationalistic financial program versus Jefferson 's democratic and agrarian program , a conflict that led to the formation of two opposing national political parties . Later in the decade the Alien and Sedition Acts led to the states ' rights position being articulated in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions . The Kentucky Resolutions , written by Thomas Jefferson , contained the following , which has often been cited as a justification for both nullification and secession : `` ... that in cases of an abuse of the delegated powers , the members of the general government , being chosen by the people , a change by the people would be the constitutional remedy ; but , where powers are assumed which have not been delegated , a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy : that every State has a natural right in cases not within the compact , ( casus non fœderis ) to nullify of their own authority all assumptions of power by others within their limits : that without this right , they would be under the dominion , absolute and unlimited , of whosoever might exercise this right of judgment for them : that nevertheless , this commonwealth , from motives of regard and respect for its co-States , has wished to communicate with them on the subject : that with them alone it is proper to communicate , they alone being parties to the compact , and solely authorized to judge in the last resort of the powers exercised under it ... . '' The Virginia Resolutions , written by James Madison , hold a similar argument : `` The resolutions , having taken this view of the Federal compact , proceed to infer that , in cases of a deliberate , palpable , and dangerous exercise of other powers , not granted by the said compact , the States , who are parties thereto , have the right , and are in duty bound to interpose to arrest the evil , and for maintaining , within their respective limits , the authorities , rights , and liberties appertaining to them ... The Constitution of the United States was formed by the sanction of the States , given by each in its sovereign capacity . It adds to the stability and dignity , as well as to the authority of the Constitution , that it rests on this solid foundation . The States , then , being parties to the constitutional compact , and in their sovereign capacity , it follows of necessity that there can be no tribunal above their authority to decide , in the last resort , whether the compact made by them be violated ; and , consequently , as parties to it , they must themselves decide , in the last resort , such questions as may be of sufficient magnitude to require their interposition . '' Historians differ over the extent to which either resolution advocated the doctrine of nullification . Historian Lance Banning wrote , `` The legislators of Kentucky ( or more likely , John Breckinridge , the Kentucky legislator who sponsored the resolution ) deleted Jefferson 's suggestion that the rightful remedy for federal usurpations was a `` nullification '' of such acts by each state acting on its own to prevent their operation within its respective borders . Rather than suggesting individual , although concerted , measures of this sort , Kentucky was content to ask its sisters to unite in declarations that the acts were `` void and of no force '' , and in `` requesting their appeal '' at the succeeding session of the Congress . '' The key sentence , and the word `` nullification '' was used in supplementary Resolutions passed by Kentucky in 1799 . Madison 's judgment is clearer . He was chairman of a committee of the Virginia Legislature which issued a book - length Report on the Resolutions of 1798 , published in 1800 after they had been decried by several states . This asserted that the state did not claim legal force . `` The declarations in such cases are expressions of opinion , unaccompanied by other effect than what they may produce upon opinion , by exciting reflection . The opinions of the judiciary , on the other hand , are carried into immediate effect by force . '' If the states collectively agreed in their declarations , there were several methods by which it might prevail , from persuading Congress to repeal the unconstitutional law , to calling a constitutional convention , as two - thirds of the states may . When , at the time of the Nullification Crisis , he was presented with the Kentucky resolutions of 1799 , he argued that the resolutions themselves were not Jefferson 's words , and that Jefferson meant this not as a constitutional but as a revolutionary right . Madison biographer Ralph Ketcham wrote : `` Though Madison agreed entirely with the specific condemnation of the Alien and Sedition Acts , with the concept of the limited delegated power of the general government , and even with the proposition that laws contrary to the Constitution were illegal , he drew back from the declaration that each state legislature had the power to act within its borders against the authority of the general government to oppose laws the legislature deemed unconstitutional . '' '' Historian Sean Wilentz explains the widespread opposition to these resolutions : `` Several states followed Maryland 's House of Delegates in rejecting the idea that any state could , by legislative action , even claim that a federal law was unconstitutional , and suggested that any effort to do so was treasonous . A few northern states , including Massachusetts , denied the powers claimed by Kentucky and Virginia and insisted that the Sedition law was perfectly constitutional ... Ten state legislatures with heavy Federalist majorities from around the country censured Kentucky and Virginia for usurping powers that supposedly belonged to the federal judiciary . Northern Republicans supported the resolutions ' objections to the alien and sedition acts , but opposed the idea of state review of federal laws . Southern Republicans outside Virginia and Kentucky were eloquently silent about the matter , and no southern legislature heeded the call to battle . '' Portrait of Thomas Jefferson by Rembrandt Peale , 1800 The election of 1800 was a turning point in national politics as the Federalists were replaced by the Democratic - Republican Party led by Jefferson . But , the four presidential terms spanning the period from 1800 to 1817 `` did little to advance the cause of states ' rights and much to weaken it . '' Over Jefferson 's opposition , the power of the federal judiciary , led by Federalist Chief Justice John Marshall , increased . Jefferson expanded federal powers with the acquisition of the Louisiana Territory and his use of a national embargo designed to prevent involvement in a European war . Madison in 1809 used national troops to enforce a Supreme Court decision in Pennsylvania , appointed an `` extreme nationalist '' in Joseph Story to the Supreme Court , signed the bill creating the Second Bank of the United States , and called for a constitutional amendment to promote internal improvements . Opposition to the War of 1812 was centered in New England . Delegates to a convention in Hartford , Connecticut met in December 1814 to consider a New England response to Madison 's war policy . The debate allowed many radicals to argue the cause of states ' rights and state sovereignty . In the end , moderate voices dominated and the final product was not secession or nullification , but a series of proposed constitutional amendments . Identifying the South 's domination of the government as the cause of much of their problems , the proposed amendments included `` the repeal of the three - fifths clause , a requirement that two - thirds of both houses of Congress agree before any new state could be admitted to the Union , limits on the length of embargoes , and the outlawing of the election of a president from the same state to successive terms , clearly aimed at the Virginians . '' The war was over before the proposals were submitted to President Madison . James Madison After the conclusion of the War of 1812 Sean Wilentz notes : `` Madison 's speech ( his 1815 annual message to Congress ) affirmed that the war had reinforced the evolution of mainstream Republicanism , moving it further away from its original and localist assumptions . The war 's immense strain on the treasury led to new calls from nationalist Republicans for a national bank . The difficulties in moving and supplying troops exposed the wretchedness of the country 's transportation links , and the need for extensive new roads and canals . A boom in American manufacturing during the prolonged cessation of trade with Britain created an entirely new class of enterprisers , most of them tied politically to the Republicans , who might not survive without tariff protection . More broadly , the war reinforced feelings of national identity and connection . '' This spirit of nationalism was linked to the tremendous growth and economic prosperity of this post war era . However in 1819 the nation suffered its first financial panic and the 1820s turned out to be a decade of political turmoil that again led to fierce debates over competing views of the exact nature of American federalism . The `` extreme democratic and agrarian rhetoric '' that had been so effective in 1798 led to renewed attacks on the `` numerous market - oriented enterprises , particularly banks , corporations , creditors , and absentee landholders '' . Tariffs ( 1816 -- 1828 ) ( edit ) The Tariff of 1816 had some protective features , and it received support throughout the nation , including that of John C. Calhoun and fellow South Carolinian William Lowndes . The first explicitly protective tariff linked to a specific program of internal improvements was the Tariff of 1824 . Sponsored by Henry Clay , this tariff provided a general level of protection at 35 % ad valorem ( compared to 25 % with the 1816 act ) and hiked duties on iron , woolens , cotton , hemp , and wool and cotton bagging . The bill barely passed the federal House of Representatives by a vote of 107 to 102 . The Middle states and Northwest supported the bill , the South and Southwest opposed it , and New England split its vote with a majority opposing it . In the Senate the bill , with the support of Tennessee Senator Andrew Jackson , passed by four votes , and President James Monroe , the Virginia heir to the Jefferson - Madison control of the White House , signed the bill on March 25 , 1824 . Daniel Webster of Massachusetts led the New England opposition to this tariff . Protest against the prospect and the constitutionality of higher tariffs began in 1826 and 1827 with William Branch Giles , who had the Virginia legislature pass resolutions denying the power of Congress to pass protective tariffs , citing the Virginia Resolutions of 1798 and James Madison 's 1800 defense of them . Madison denied both the appeal to nullification and the unconstitutionality ; he had always held that the power to regulate commerce included protection . Jefferson had , at the end of his life , written against protective tariffs . Portrait of Martin Van Buren The Tariff of 1828 was largely the work of Martin Van Buren ( although Silas Wright Jr. of New York prepared the main provisions ) and was partly a political ploy to elect Andrew Jackson president . Van Buren calculated that the South would vote for Jackson regardless of the issues so he ignored their interests in drafting the bill . New England , he thought , was just as likely to support the incumbent John Quincy Adams , so the bill levied heavy taxes on raw materials consumed by New England such as hemp , flax , molasses , iron and sail duck . With an additional tariff on iron to satisfy Pennsylvania interests , Van Buren expected the tariff to help deliver Pennsylvania , New York , Missouri , Ohio , and Kentucky to Jackson . Over opposition from the South and some from New England , the tariff was passed with the full support of many Jackson supporters in Congress and signed by President Adams in early 1828 . As expected , Jackson and his running mate John Calhoun carried the entire South with overwhelming numbers in all the states but Louisiana where Adams drew 47 % of the vote in a losing effort . However many Southerners became dissatisfied as Jackson , in his first two annual messages to Congress , failed to launch a strong attack on the tariff . Historian William J. Cooper Jr. writes : `` The most doctrinaire ideologues of the Old Republican group ( supporters of the Jefferson and Madison position in the late 1790s ) first found Jackson wanting . These purists identified the tariff of 1828 , the hated Tariff of Abominations , as the most heinous manifestation of the nationalist policy they abhorred . That protective tariff violated their constitutional theory , for , as they interpreted the document , it gave no permission for a protective tariff . Moreover , they saw protection as benefiting the North and hurting the South . '' South Carolina background ( 1819 -- 1828 ) ( edit ) John C. Calhoun South Carolina had been adversely affected by the national economic decline of the 1820s . During this decade , the population decreased by 56,000 whites and 30,000 slaves , out of a total free and slave population of 580,000 . The whites left for better places ; they took slaves with them or sold them to traders moving slaves to the Deep South for sale . Historian Richard E. Ellis describes the situation : `` Throughout the colonial and early national periods , South Carolina had sustained substantial economic growth and prosperity . This had created an extremely wealthy and extravagant low country aristocracy whose fortunes were based first on the cultivation of rice and indigo , and then on cotton . Then the state was devastated by the Panic of 1819 . The depression that followed was more severe than in almost any other state of the Union . Moreover , competition from the newer cotton producing areas along the Gulf Coast , blessed with fertile lands that produced a higher crop - yield per acre , made recovery painfully slow . To make matters worse , in large areas of South Carolina slaves vastly outnumbered whites , and there existed both considerable fear of slave rebellion and a growing sensitivity to even the smallest criticism of `` the peculiar institution . '' '' George McDuffie State leaders , led by states ' rights advocates like William Smith and Thomas Cooper , blamed most of the state 's economic problems on the Tariff of 1816 and national internal improvement projects . Soil erosion and competition from the New Southwest were also very significant reasons for the state 's declining fortunes . George McDuffie was a particularly effective speaker for the anti-tariff forces , and he popularized the Forty Bale theory . McDuffie argued that the 40 % tariff on cotton finished goods meant that `` the manufacturer actually invades your barns , and plunders you of 40 out of every 100 bales that you produce . '' Mathematically incorrect , this argument still struck a nerve with his constituency . Nationalists such as Calhoun were forced by the increasing power of such leaders to retreat from their previous positions and adopt , in the words of Ellis , `` an even more extreme version of the states ' rights doctrine '' in order to maintain political significance within South Carolina . Thomas Bee 's House , Charleston , ca . 1730 . The Nullification Movement that split the Nation started here in 1832 . John C. Calhoun , S.C. Governor Robert Hayne , General James Hamilton and other leaders drafted the Nullification Papers in the 2nd floor drawing room South Carolina 's first effort at nullification occurred in 1822 . Its planters believed that free black sailors had assisted Denmark Vesey in his planned slave rebellion . South Carolina passed a Negro Seamen Act , which required that all black foreign seamen be imprisoned while their ships were docked in Charleston . The UK strongly objected , especially as it was recruiting more Africans as sailors . What was worse , if the captains did not pay the fees to cover the cost of jailing , South Carolina would sell the sailors into slavery . Other southern states also passed laws against free black sailors . Supreme Court Justice William Johnson , in his capacity as a circuit judge , declared the South Carolina law as unconstitutional since it violated the United States ' treaties with the UK . The South Carolina Senate announced that the judge 's ruling was invalid and that the Act would be enforced . The federal government did not attempt to carry out Johnson 's decision . Route to nullification in South Carolina ( 1828 -- 1832 ) ( edit ) Joel Roberts Poinsett , South Carolina Unionist leader Historian Avery Craven argues that , for the most part , the debate from 1828 - 1832 was a local South Carolina affair . The state 's leaders were not united and the sides were roughly equal . The western part of the state and a faction in Charleston , led by Joel Poinsett , would remain loyal to the Union . Only in small part was the conflict between `` a National North against a States ' - right South '' . After the final vote on the Tariff of 1828 , the South Carolina congressional delegation held two caucuses , the second at the home of Senator Robert Y . Hayne . They were rebuffed in their efforts to coordinate a united Southern response and focused on how their state representatives would react . While many agreed with George McDuffie that tariff policy could lead to secession at some future date , they all agreed that as much as possible , the issue should be kept out of the upcoming presidential election . Calhoun , while not at this meeting , served as a moderating influence . He felt that the first step in reducing the tariff was to defeat Adams and his supporters in the upcoming election . William C. Preston , on behalf of the South Carolina legislature , asked Calhoun to prepare a report on the tariff situation . Calhoun readily accepted this challenge and in a few weeks time had a 35,000 - word draft of what would become his `` Exposition and Protest '' . Calhoun 's `` Exposition '' was completed late in 1828 . He argued that the tariff of 1828 was unconstitutional because it favored manufacturing over commerce and agriculture . He thought that the tariff power could only be used to generate revenue , not to provide protection from foreign competition for American industries . He believed that the people of a state or several states , acting in a democratically elected convention , had the retained power to veto any act of the federal government which violated the Constitution . This veto , the core of the doctrine of nullification , was explained by Calhoun in the Exposition : `` If it be conceded , as it must be by every one who is the least conversant with our institutions , that the sovereign powers delegated are divided between the General and State Governments , and that the latter hold their portion by the same tenure as the former , it would seem impossible to deny to the States the right of deciding on the infractions of their powers , and the proper remedy to be applied for their correction . The right of judging , in such cases , is an essential attribute of sovereignty , of which the States can not be divested without losing their sovereignty itself , and being reduced to a subordinate corporate condition . In fact , to divide power , and to give to one of the parties the exclusive right of judging of the portion allotted to each , is , in reality , not to divide it at all ; and to reserve such exclusive right to the General Government ( it matters not by what department to be exercised ) , is to convert it , in fact , into a great consolidated government , with unlimited powers , and to divest the States , in reality , of all their rights , It is impossible to understand the force of terms , and to deny so plain a conclusion . '' The report also detailed the specific southern grievances over the tariff that led to the current dissatisfaction . Fearful that `` hotheads '' such as McDuffie might force the legislature into taking some drastic action against the federal government , historian John Niven describes Calhoun 's political purpose in the document : `` All through that hot and humid summer , emotions among the vociferous planter population had been worked up to a near - frenzy of excitement . The whole tenor of the argument built up in the `` Exposition '' was aimed to present the case in a cool , considered manner that would dampen any drastic moves yet would set in motion the machinery for repeal of the tariff act . It would also warn other sections of the Union against any future legislation that an increasingly self - conscious South might consider punitive , especially on the subject of slavery . '' The report was submitted to the state legislature which had 5,000 copies printed and distributed . Calhoun , who still had designs on succeeding Jackson as president , was not identified as the author but word on this soon leaked out . The legislature took no action on the report at that time . In the summer of 1828 Robert Barnwell Rhett , soon to be considered the most radical of the South Carolinians , entered the fray over the tariff . As a state representative , Rhett called for the governor to convene a special session of the legislature . An outstanding orator , Rhett appealed to his constituents to resist the majority in Congress . Rhett addressed the danger of doing nothing : `` But if you are doubtful of yourselves -- if you are not prepared to follow up your principles wherever they may lead , to their very last consequence -- if you love life better than honor , -- prefer ease to perilous liberty and glory ; awake not ! Stir not ! -- Impotent resistance will add vengeance to your ruin . Live in smiling peace with your insatiable Oppressors , and die with the noble consolation that your submissive patience will survive triumphant your beggary and despair . '' Rhett 's rhetoric about revolution and war was too radical in the summer of 1828 but , with the election of Jackson assured , James Hamilton Jr. on October 28 in the Colleton County Courthouse in Walterborough `` launched the formal nullification campaign . '' Renouncing his former nationalism , Hamilton warned the people that , `` Your task - master must soon become a tyrant , from the very abuses and corruption of the system , without the bowels of compassion , or a jot of human sympathy . '' He called for implementation of Mr. Jefferson 's `` rightful remedy '' of nullification . Hamilton sent a copy of the speech directly to President - elect Jackson . But , despite a statewide campaign by Hamilton and McDuffie , a proposal to call a nullification convention in 1829 was defeated by the South Carolina legislature meeting at the end of 1828 . State leaders such as Calhoun , Hayne , Smith , and William Drayton were all able to remain publicly non-committal or opposed to nullification for the next couple of years . The division in the state between radicals and conservatives continued throughout 1829 and 1830 . After the failure of a state project to arrange financing of a railroad within the state to promote internal trade , the state petitioned Congress to invest $250,000 in the company trying to build the railroad . After Congress tabled the measure , the debate in South Carolina resumed between those who wanted state investment and those who wanted to work to get Congress ' support . The debate demonstrated that a significant minority of the state did have an interest in Clay 's American System . The effect of the Webster -- Hayne debate was to energize the radicals , and some moderates started to move in their direction . The state election campaign of 1830 focused on the tariff issue and the need for a state convention . On the defensive , radicals underplayed the intent of the convention as pro-nullification . When voters were presented with races where an unpledged convention was the issue , the radicals generally won . When conservatives effectively characterized the race as being about nullification , the radicals lost . The October election was narrowly carried by the radicals , although the blurring of the issues left them without any specific mandate . In South Carolina , the governor was selected by the legislature , which selected James Hamilton , the leader of the radical movement , as governor and fellow radical Henry L. Pinckney as speaker of the South Carolina House . For the open Senate seat , the legislature chose the more radical Stephen Miller over William Smith . With radicals in leading positions , in 1831 , they began to capture momentum . State politics became sharply divided along Nullifier and Unionist lines . Still , the margin in the legislature fell short of the two - thirds majority needed for a convention . Many of the radicals felt that convincing Calhoun of the futility of his plans for the presidency would lead him into their ranks . Calhoun meanwhile had concluded that Martin Van Buren was clearly establishing himself as Jackson 's heir apparent . At Hamilton 's prompting , George McDuffie made a three - hour speech in Charleston demanding nullification of the tariff at any cost . In the state , the success of McDuffie 's speech seemed to open up the possibilities of both military confrontation with the federal government and civil war within the state . With silence no longer an acceptable alternative , Calhoun looked for the opportunity to take control of the anti-tariff faction in the state ; by June he was preparing what would be known as his Fort Hill Address . Published on July 26 , 1831 , the address repeated and expanded the positions Calhoun had made in the `` Exposition '' . While the logic of much of the speech was consistent with the states ' rights position of most Jacksonians , and even Daniel Webster remarked that it `` was the ablest and most plausible , and therefore the most dangerous vindication of that particular form of Revolution '' , the speech still placed Calhoun clearly in the nullifier camp . Within South Carolina , his gestures at moderation in the speech were drowned out as planters received word of the Nat Turner insurrection in Virginia . Calhoun was not alone in finding a connection between the abolition movement and the sectional aspects of the tariff issue . It confirmed for Calhoun what he had written in a September 11 , 1830 letter : I consider the tariff act as the occasion , rather than the real cause of the present unhappy state of things . The truth can no longer be disguised , that the peculiar domestick ( sic ) institution of the Southern States and the consequent direction which that and her soil have given to her industry , has placed them in regard to taxation and appropriations in opposite relation to the majority of the Union , against the danger of which , if there be no protective power in the reserved rights of the states they must in the end be forced to rebel , or , submit to have their paramount interests sacrificed , their domestic institutions subordinated by Colonization and other schemes , and themselves and children reduced to wretchedness . From this point , the nullifiers accelerated their organization and rhetoric . In July 1831 the States Rights and Free Trade Association was formed in Charleston and expanded throughout the state . Unlike state political organizations in the past , which were led by the South Carolina planter aristocracy , this group appealed to all segments of the population , including non-slaveholder farmers , small slaveholders , and the Charleston non-agricultural class . Governor Hamilton was instrumental in seeing that the association , which was both a political and a social organization , expanded throughout the state . In the winter of 1831 and spring of 1832 , the governor held conventions and rallies throughout the state to mobilize the nullification movement . The conservatives were unable to match the radicals in either organization or leadership . The state elections of 1832 were `` charged with tension and bespattered with violence , '' and `` polite debates often degenerated into frontier brawls . '' Unlike the previous year 's election , the choice was clear between nullifiers and unionists . The nullifiers won and on October 20 , 1832 , Governor Hamilton called the legislature into a special session to consider a convention . The legislative vote was 96 - 25 in the House and 31 - 13 in the Senate In November 1832 the Nullification Convention met . The convention declared that the tariffs of 1828 and 1832 were unconstitutional and unenforceable within the state of South Carolina after February 1 , 1833 . They said that attempts to use force to collect the taxes would lead to the state 's secession . Robert Hayne , who followed Hamilton as governor in 1833 , established a 2,000 - man group of mounted minutemen and 25,000 infantry who would march to Charleston in the event of a military conflict . These troops were to be armed with $100,000 in arms purchased in the North . The enabling legislation passed by the legislature was carefully constructed to avoid clashes if at all possible and to create an aura of legality in the process . To avoid conflicts with Unionists , it allowed importers to pay the tariff if they so desired . Other merchants could pay the tariff by obtaining a paper tariff bond from the customs officer . They would then refuse to pay the bond when due , and if the customs official seized the goods , the merchant would file for a writ of replevin to recover the goods in state court . Customs officials who refused to return the goods ( by placing them under the protection of federal troops ) would be civilly liable for twice the value of the goods . To insure that state officials and judges supported the law , a `` test oath '' would be required for all new state officials , binding them to support the ordinance of nullification . Governor Hayne in his inaugural address announced South Carolina 's position : `` If the sacred soil of Carolina should be polluted by the footsteps of an invader , or be stained with the blood of her citizens , shed in defense , I trust in Almighty God that no son of hers ... who has been nourished at her bosom ... will be found raising a parricidal arm against our common mother . And even should she stand ALONE in this great struggle for constitutional liberty ... that there will not be found , in the wider limits of the state , one recreant son who will not fly to the rescue , and be ready to lay down his life in her defense . '' Washington , D.C. ( 1828 -- 1832 ) ( edit ) Official White House portrait of Andrew Jackson When President Jackson took office in March 1829 he was well aware of the turmoil created by the `` Tariff of Abominations '' . While he may have abandoned some of his earlier beliefs that had allowed him to vote for the Tariff of 1824 , he still felt protectionism was justified for products essential to military preparedness and did not believe that the current tariff should be reduced until the national debt was fully paid off . He addressed the issue in his inaugural address and his first three messages to Congress , but offered no specific relief . In December 1831 , with the proponents of nullification in South Carolina gaining momentum , Jackson was recommending `` the exercise of that spirit of concession and conciliation which has distinguished the friends of our Union in all great emergencies . '' However on the constitutional issue of nullification , despite his strong beliefs in states ' rights , Jackson did not waver . Calhoun 's `` Exposition and Protest '' did start a national debate over the doctrine of nullification . The leading proponents of the nationalistic view included Daniel Webster , Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story , Judge William Alexander Duer , John Quincy Adams , Nathaniel Chipman , and Nathan Dane . These people rejected the compact theory advanced by Calhoun , claiming that the Constitution was the product of the people , not the states . According to the nationalist position , the Supreme Court had the final say on the constitutionality of legislation , the national union was perpetual and had supreme authority over individual states . The nullifiers , on the other hand , asserted that the central government was not to be the ultimate arbiter of its own power , and that the states , as the contracting entities , could judge for themselves what was or was not constitutional . While Calhoun 's `` Exposition '' claimed that nullification was based on the reasoning behind the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions , an aging James Madison in an August 28 , 1830 letter to Edward Everett , intended for publication , disagreed . Madison wrote , denying that any individual state could alter the compact : `` Can more be necessary to demonstrate the inadmissibility of such a doctrine than that it puts it in the power of the smallest fraction over 1 / 4 of the U.S. -- that is , of 7 States out of 24 -- to give the law and even the Constn. to 17 States , each of the 17 having as parties to the Constn . an equal right with each of the 7 to expound it & to insist on the exposition . That the 7 might , in particular instances be right and the 17 wrong , is more than possible . But to establish a positive & permanent rule giving such a power to such a minority over such a majority , would overturn the first principle of free Govt. and in practice necessarily overturn the Govt . itself . '' Webster Replying to Hayne by George P.A. Healy Part of the South 's strategy to force repeal of the tariff was to arrange an alliance with the West . Under the plan , the South would support the West 's demand for free lands in the public domain if the West would support repeal of the tariff . With this purpose Robert Hayne took the floor on the Senate in early 1830 , thus beginning `` the most celebrated debate , in the Senate 's history . '' Daniel Webster 's response shifted the debate , subsequently styled the Webster - Hayne debates , from the specific issue of western lands to a general debate on the very nature of the United States . Webster 's position differed from Madison 's : Webster asserted that the people of the United States acted as one aggregate body , Madison held that the people of the several states had acted collectively . John Rowan spoke against Webster on that issue , and Madison wrote , congratulating Webster , but explaining his own position . The debate presented the fullest articulation of the differences over nullification , and 40,000 copies of Webster 's response , which concluded with `` liberty and Union , now and forever , one and inseparable '' , were distributed nationwide . Many people expected the states ' rights Jackson to side with Hayne . However once the debate shifted to secession and nullification , Jackson sided with Webster . On April 13 , 1830 at the traditional Democratic Party celebration honoring Thomas Jefferson 's birthday , Jackson chose to make his position clear . In a battle of toasts , Hayne proposed , `` The Union of the States , and the Sovereignty of the States . '' Jackson 's response , when his turn came , was , `` Our Federal Union : It must be preserved . '' To those attending , the effect was dramatic . Calhoun would respond with his own toast , in a play on Webster 's closing remarks in the earlier debate , `` The Union . Next to our liberty , the most dear . '' Finally Martin Van Buren would offer , `` Mutual forbearance and reciprocal concession . Through their agency the Union was established . The patriotic spirit from which they emanated will forever sustain it . '' Van Buren wrote in his autobiography of Jackson 's toast , `` The veil was rent -- the incantations of the night were exposed to the light of day . '' Senator Thomas Hart Benton , in his memoirs , stated that the toast `` electrified the country . '' Jackson would have the final words a few days later when a visitor from South Carolina asked if Jackson had any message he wanted relayed to his friends back in the state . Jackson 's reply was : `` Yes I have ; please give my compliments to my friends in your State and say to them , that if a single drop of blood shall be shed there in opposition to the laws of the United States , I will hang the first man I can lay my hand on engaged in such treasonable conduct , upon the first tree I can reach . '' Other issues than the tariff were still being decided . In May 1830 Jackson vetoed the Maysville Road Bill an important internal improvements program ( especially to Kentucky and Henry Clay ) , and then followed this with additional vetoes of other such projects shortly before Congress adjourned at the end of May . Clay would use these vetoes to launch his presidential campaign . In 1831 the re-chartering of the Bank of the United States , with Clay and Jackson on opposite sides , reopened a long simmering problem . This issue was featured at the December 1831 National Republican convention in Baltimore which nominated Henry Clay for president , and the proposal to re-charter was formally introduced into Congress on January 6 , 1832 . The Calhoun - Jackson split entered the center stage when Calhoun , as vice-president presiding over the Senate , cast the tie - breaking vote to deny Martin Van Buren the post of minister to England . Van Buren was subsequently selected as Jackson 's running mate at the 1832 Democratic National Convention held in May . Portrait Of Henry Clay In February 1832 Henry Clay , back in the Senate after a two decades absence , made a three - day - long speech calling for a new tariff schedule and an expansion of his American System . In an effort to reach out to John Calhoun and other southerners , Clay 's proposal provided for a ten million dollar revenue reduction based on the amount of budget surplus he anticipated for the coming year . Significant protection was still part of the plan as the reduction primarily came on those imports not in competition with domestic producers . Jackson proposed an alternative that reduced overall tariffs to 28 % . John Quincy Adams , now in the House of Representatives , used his Committee of Manufacturers to produce a compromise bill that , in its final form , reduced revenues by five million dollars , lowered duties on non-competitive products , and retained high tariffs on woolens , iron , and cotton products . In the course of the political maneuvering , George McDuffie 's Ways and Means Committee , the normal originator of such bills , prepared a bill with drastic reduction across the board . McDuffie 's bill went nowhere . Jackson signed the Tariff of 1832 on July 14 , 1832 , a few days after he vetoed the Bank of the United States re-charter bill . Congress adjourned after it failed to override Jackson 's veto . With Congress in adjournment , Jackson anxiously watched events in South Carolina . The nullifiers found no significant compromise in the Tariff of 1832 and acted accordingly ( see the above section ) . Jackson heard rumors of efforts to subvert members of the army and navy in Charleston and he ordered the secretaries of the army and navy to begin rotating troops and officers based on their loyalty . He ordered General Winfield Scott to prepare for military operations and ordered a naval squadron in Norfolk to prepare to go to Charleston . Jackson kept lines of communication open with unionists like Joel Poinsett , William Drayton , and James L. Petigru and sent George Breathitt , brother of the Kentucky governor , to independently obtain political and military intelligence . After their defeat at the polls in October , Petigru advised Jackson that he should `` Be prepared to hear very shortly of a State Convention and an act of Nullification . '' On October 19 , 1832 Jackson wrote to his Secretary of War : `` The attempt will be made to surprise the Forts and garrisons by the militia , and must be guarded against with vestal vigilance and any attempt by force repelled with prompt and exemplary punishment . '' By mid-November Jackson 's reelection was assured . On December 3 , 1832 Jackson sent his fourth annual message to Congress . The message `` was stridently states ' rights and agrarian in its tone and thrust '' and he disavowed protection as anything other than a temporary expedient . His intent regarding nullification , as communicated to Van Buren , was `` to pass it barely in review , as a mere buble ( sic ) , view the existing laws as competent to check and put it down . '' He hoped to create a `` moral force '' that would transcend political parties and sections . The paragraph in the message that addressed nullification was : `` It is my painful duty to state that in one quarter of the United States opposition to the revenue laws has arisen to a height which threatens to thwart their execution , if not to endanger the integrity of the Union . What ever obstructions may be thrown in the way of the judicial authorities of the General Government , it is hoped they will be able peaceably to overcome them by the prudence of their own officers and the patriotism of the people . But should this reasonable reliance on the moderation and good sense of all portions of our fellow citizens be disappointed , it is believed that the laws themselves are fully adequate to the suppression of such attempts as may be immediately made . Should the exigency arise rendering the execution of the existing laws impracticable from any cause what ever , prompt notice of it will be given to Congress , with a suggestion of such views and measures as may be deemed necessary to meet it . '' On December 10 Jackson issued the Proclamation to the People of South Carolina , in which he characterized the positions of the nullifiers as `` impractical absurdity '' and `` a metaphysical subtlety , in pursuit of an impractical theory . '' He provided this concise statement of his belief : `` I consider , then , the power to annul a law of the United States , assumed by one State , incompatible with the existence of the Union , contradicted expressly by the letter of the Constitution , unauthorized by its spirit , inconsistent with every principle on which It was founded , and destructive of the great object for which it was formed . '' The language used by Jackson , combined with the reports coming out of South Carolina , raised the spectre of military confrontation for many on both sides of the issue . A group of Democrats , led by Van Buren and Thomas Hart Benton among others , saw the only solution to the crisis in a substantial reduction of the tariff . Negotiation and confrontation ( 1833 ) ( edit ) In apparent contradiction of his previous claim that the tariff could be enforced with existing laws , on January 16 Jackson sent his Force Bill Message to Congress . Custom houses in Beaufort and Georgetown would be closed and replaced by ships located at each port . In Charleston the custom house would be moved to either Castle Pinckney or Fort Moultrie in Charleston harbor . Direct payment rather than bonds would be required , and federal jails would be established for violators that the state refused to arrest and all cases arising under the state 's nullification act could be removed to the United States Circuit Court . In the most controversial part , the militia acts of 1795 and 1807 would be revised to permit the enforcement of the custom laws by both the militia and the regular United States military . Attempts were made in South Carolina to shift the debate away from nullification by focusing instead on the proposed enforcement . The Force bill went to the Senate Judiciary Committee chaired by Pennsylvania protectionist William Wilkins and supported by members Daniel Webster and Theodore Frelinghuysen of New Jersey ; it gave Jackson everything he asked . On January 28 the Senate defeated a motion by a vote of 30 to 15 to postpone debate on the bill . All but two of the votes to delay were from the lower South and only three from this section voted against the motion . This did not signal any increased support for nullification but did signify doubts about enforcement . In order to draw more votes , proposals were made to limit the duration of the coercive powers and restrict the use of force to suppressing , rather than preventing , civil disorder . In the House the Judiciary Committee , in a 4 - 3 vote , rejected Jackson 's request to use force . By the time Calhoun made a major speech on February 15 strongly opposing it , the Force Bill was temporarily stalled . On the tariff issue , the drafting of a compromise tariff was assigned in December to the House Ways and Means Committee , now headed by Gulian C. Verplanck . Debate on the committee 's product on the House floor began in January 1833 . The Verplanck tariff proposed reductions back to the 1816 levels over the course of the next two years while maintaining the basic principle of protectionism . The anti-Jackson protectionists saw this as an economic disaster that did not allow the Tariff of 1832 to even be tested and `` an undignified truckling to the menaces and blustering of South Carolina . '' Northern Democrats did not oppose it in principle but still demanded protection for the varying interests of their own constituents . Those sympathetic to the nullifiers wanted a specific abandonment of the principle of protectionism and were willing to offer a longer transition period as a bargaining point . It was clear that the Verplanck tariff was not going to be implemented . In South Carolina , efforts were being made to avoid an unnecessary confrontation . Governor Hayne ordered the 25,000 troops he had created to train at home rather than gathering in Charleston . At a mass meeting in Charleston on January 21 , it was decided to postpone the February 1 deadline for implementing nullification while Congress worked on a compromise tariff . At the same time a commissioner from Virginia , Benjamin Watkins Leigh , arrived in Charleston bearing resolutions that criticized both Jackson and the nullifiers and offering his state as a mediator . Henry Clay had not taken his defeat in the presidential election well and was unsure on what position he could take in the tariff negotiations . His long term concern was that Jackson eventually was determined to kill protectionism along with the American Plan . In February , after consulting with manufacturers and sugar interests in Louisiana who favored protection for the sugar industry , Clay started to work on a specific compromise plan . As a starting point , he accepted the nullifiers ' offer of a transition period but extended it from seven and a half years to nine years with a final target of a 20 % ad valorem rate . After first securing the support of his protectionist base , Clay , through an intermediary , broached the subject with Calhoun . Calhoun was receptive and after a private meeting with Clay at Clay 's boardinghouse , negotiations preceded . Clay introduced the negotiated tariff bill on February 12 , and it was immediately referred to a select committee consisting of Clay as chairman , Felix Grundy of Tennessee , George M. Dallas of Pennsylvania , William Cabell Rives of Virginia , Webster , John M. Clayton of Delaware , and Calhoun . On February 21 the committee reported a bill to the floor of the Senate which was largely the original bill proposed by Clay . The Tariff of 1832 would continue except that reduction of all rates above 20 % would be reduced by one tenth every two years with the final reductions back to 20 % coming in 1842 . Protectionism as a principle was not abandoned and provisions were made for raising the tariff if national interests demanded it . Although not specifically linked by any negotiated agreement , it became clear that the Force Bill and Compromise Tariff of 1833 were inexorably linked . In his February 25 speech ending the debate on the tariff , Clay captured the spirit of the voices for compromise by condemning Jackson 's Proclamation to South Carolina as inflammatory , admitting the same problem with the Force Bill but indicating its necessity , and praising the Compromise Tariff as the final measure to restore balance , promote the rule of law , and avoid the `` sacked cities , '' `` desolated fields , '' and `` smoking ruins '' that he said would be the product of the failure to reach a final accord . The House passed the Compromise Tariff by 119 - 85 and the Force Bill by 149 - 48 . In the Senate the tariff passed 29 - 16 and the Force bill by 32 - 1 with many opponents of it walking out rather than voting for it . Calhoun rushed to Charleston with the news of the final compromises . The Nullification Convention met again on March 11 . It repealed the November Nullification Ordinance and also , `` in a purely symbolic gesture '' , nullified the Force Bill . While the nullifiers claimed victory on the tariff issue , even though they had made concessions , the verdict was very different on nullification . The majority had , in the end , ruled and this boded ill for the South and their minorities hold on slavery . Rhett summed this up at the convention on March 13 . Warning that , `` A people , owning slaves , are mad , or worse than mad , who do not hold their destinies in their own hands , '' he continued : `` Every stride of this Government , over your rights , brings it nearer and nearer to your peculiar policy . ... The whole world are in arms against your institutions ... Let Gentlemen not be deceived . It is not the Tariff -- not Internal Improvement -- nor yet the Force bill , which constitutes the great evil against which we are contending. ... These are but the forms in which the despotic nature of the government is evinced -- but it is the despotism which constitutes the evil : and until this Government is made a limited Government ... there is no liberty -- no security for the South . '' Aftermath ( edit ) People reflected on the meaning of the nullification crisis and its outcome for the country . On May 1 , 1833 Jackson wrote , `` the tariff was only a pretext , and disunion and southern confederacy the real object . The next pretext will be the negro , or slavery question . '' The final resolution of the crisis and Jackson 's leadership had appeal throughout the North and South . Robert Remini , the historian and Jackson biographer , described the opposition that nullification drew from traditionally states ' rights Southern states : The Alabama legislature , for example , pronounced the doctrine `` unsound in theory and dangerous in practice . '' Georgia said it was `` mischievous , '' `` rash and revolutionary . '' Mississippi lawmakers chided the South Carolinians for acting with `` reckless precipitancy . '' Forest McDonald , describing the split over nullification among proponents of states rights , wrote , `` The doctrine of states ' rights , as embraced by most Americans , was not concerned exclusively , or even primarily with state resistance to federal authority . '' But , by the end of the nullification crisis , many southerners started to question whether the Jacksonian Democrats still represented Southern interests . The historian William J. Cooper notes that , `` Numerous southerners had begun to perceive it ( the Jacksonian Democratic Party ) as a spear aimed at the South rather than a shield defending the South . '' In the political vacuum created by this alienation , the southern wing of the Whig Party was formed . The party was a coalition of interests united by the common thread of opposition to Andrew Jackson and , more specifically , his `` definition of federal and executive power . '' The party included former National Republicans with an `` urban , commercial , and nationalist outlook '' as well as former nullifiers . Emphasizing that `` they were more southern than the Democrats , '' the party grew within the South by going `` after the abolition issue with unabashed vigor and glee . '' With both parties arguing who could best defend southern institutions , the nuances of the differences between free soil and abolitionism , which became an issue in the late 1840s with the Mexican War and territorial expansion , never became part of the political dialogue . This failure increased the volatility of the slavery issues . Richard Ellis argues that the end of the crisis signified the beginning of a new era . Within the states ' rights movement , the traditional desire for simply `` a weak , inactive , and frugal government '' was challenged . Ellis states that `` in the years leading up to the Civil War the nullifiers and their pro-slavery allies used the doctrine of states ' rights and state sovereignty in such a way as to try to expand the powers of the federal government so that it could more effectively protect the peculiar institution . '' By the 1850s , states ' rights had become a call for state equality under the Constitution . Madison reacted to this incipient tendency by writing two paragraphs of `` Advice to My Country , '' found among his papers . It said that the Union `` should be cherished and perpetuated . Let the open enemy to it be regarded as a Pandora with her box opened ; and the disguised one , as the Serpent creeping with his deadly wiles into paradise . '' Richard Rush published this `` Advice '' in 1850 , by which time Southern spirit was so high that it was denounced as a forgery . The first test for the South over the slavery issue began during the final congressional session of 1835 . In what became known as the Gag Rule Debates , abolitionists flooded the Congress with anti-slavery petitions to end slavery and the slave trade in Washington , D.C. The debate was reopened each session as Southerners , led by South Carolinians Henry Pinckney and John Hammond , prevented the petitions from even being officially received by Congress . Led by John Quincy Adams , the slavery debate remained on the national stage until late 1844 when Congress lifted all restrictions on processing the petitions . Describing the legacy of the crisis , Sean Wilentz writes : `` The battle between Jacksonian democratic nationalists , northern and southern , and nullifier sectionalists would resound through the politics of slavery and antislavery for decades to come . Jackson 's victory , ironically , would help accelerate the emergence of southern pro-slavery as a coherent and articulate political force , which would help solidify northern antislavery opinion , inside as well as outside Jackson 's party . Those developments would accelerate the emergence of two fundamentally incompatible democracies , one in the slave South , the other in the free North . '' For South Carolina , the legacy of the crisis involved both the divisions within the state during the crisis and the apparent isolation of the state as the crisis was resolved . By 1860 , when South Carolina became the first state to secede , the state was more internally united than any other southern state . Historian Charles Edward Cauthen writes : `` Probably to a greater extent than in any other Southern state South Carolina had been prepared by her leaders over a period of thirty years for the issues of 1860 . Indoctrination in the principles of state sovereignty , education in the necessity of maintaining Southern institutions , warnings of the dangers of control of the federal government by a section hostile to its interests -- in a word , the education of the masses in the principles and necessity of secession under certain circumstances -- had been carried on with a skill and success hardly inferior to the masterly propaganda of the abolitionists themselves . It was this education , this propaganda , by South Carolina leaders which made secession the almost spontaneous movement that it was .

Economic historian Frank Taussig notes `` The act of 1816 , which is generally said to mark the beginning of a distinctly protective policy in this country , belongs rather to the earlier series of acts , beginning with that of 1789 , than to the group of acts of 1824 , 1828 , and 1832 . Its highest permanent rate of duty was twenty per cent. , an increase over the previous rates which is chiefly accounted for by the heavy interest charge on the debt incurred during the war . But after the crash of 1819 , a movement in favor of protection set in , which was backed by a strong popular feeling such as had been absent in the earlier years .

who articulated the doctrine of nullification before the civil war
[ "The Nullification Crisis was a United States sectional political crisis in 1832–1837, during the presidency of Andrew Jackson, which involved a confrontation between South Carolina and the federal government. It ensued after South Carolina declared that the federal Tariffs of 1828 and 1832 were unconstitutional and therefore null and void within the sovereign boundaries of the state." ]

Die Brücke
Die Brücke - wikipedia Die Brücke Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Die Brücke ( disambiguation ) . Fritz Bleyl poster for the first Die Brücke show in 1906 Die Brücke manifesto 1906 Die Brücke ( The Bridge ) was a group of German expressionist artists formed in Dresden in 1905 , after which the Brücke Museum in Berlin was named . Founding members were Fritz Bleyl , Erich Heckel , Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Karl Schmidt - Rottluff . Later members were Emil Nolde , Max Pechstein and Otto Mueller . The seminal group had a major impact on the evolution of modern art in the 20th century and the creation of expressionism . Die Brücke is sometimes compared to the Fauves . Both movements shared interests in primitivist art . Both shared an interest in the expressing of extreme emotion through high - keyed color that was very often non-naturalistic . Both movements employed a drawing technique that was crude , and both groups shared an antipathy to complete abstraction . The Die Brücke artists ' emotionally agitated paintings of city streets and sexually charged events transpiring in country settings make their French counterparts , the Fauves , seem tame by comparison . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Legacy 3 Notes and references 4 External links History ( edit ) The founding members of Die Brücke in 1905 were four Jugendstil architecture students : Fritz Bleyl ( 1880 -- 1966 ) , Erich Heckel ( 1883 -- 1970 ) , Ernst Ludwig Kirchner ( 1880 -- 1938 ) and Karl Schmidt - Rottluff ( 1884 -- 1976 ) . They met through the Königliche Technische Hochschule ( technical university ) of Dresden , where Kirchner and Bleyl began studying in 1901 and became close friends in their first term . They discussed art together and also studied nature , having a radical outlook in common . Kirchner continued studies in Munich 1903 -- 1904 , returning to Dresden in 1905 to complete his degree . The institution provided a wide range of studies in addition to architecture , such as freehand drawing , perspective drawing and the historical study of art . The name `` Die Brücke '' was intended to `` symbolize the link , or bridge , they would form with art of the future '' . Die Brücke aimed to eschew the prevalent traditional academic style and find a new mode of artistic expression , which would form a bridge ( hence the name ) between the past and the present . They responded both to past artists such as Albrecht Dürer , Matthias Grünewald and Lucas Cranach the Elder , as well as contemporary international avant - garde movements . The group published a broadside called Programme in 1906 , where Kirchner wrote : We call all young people together , and as young people , who carry the future in us , we want to wrest freedom for our actions and our lives from the older , comfortably established forces . As part of the affirmation of their national heritage , they revived older media , particularly woodcut prints . The group developed a common style based on vivid color , emotional tension , violent imagery , and an influence from primitivism . After first concentrating exclusively on urban subject matter , the group ventured into southern Germany on expeditions arranged by Mueller and produced more nudes and arcadian images . They invented the printmaking technique of linocut , although they at first described them as traditional woodcuts , which they also made . The group members initially `` isolated '' themselves in a working - class neighborhood of Dresden , aiming thereby to reject their own bourgeois backgrounds . Erich Heckel was able to obtain an empty butcher 's shop on the Berlinerstrasse in Friedrichstadt for their use as a studio . Bleyl described the studio as : that of a real bohemian , full of paintings lying all over the place , drawings , books and artist 's materials -- much more like an artist 's romantic lodgings than the home of a well - organised architecture student . Painting of the group members by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner 1926 / 7 Kirchner 's became a venue which overthrew social conventions to allow casual love - making and frequent nudity . Group life - drawing sessions took place using models from the social circle , rather than professionals , and choosing quarter - hour poses to encourage spontaneity . Bleyl described one such model , Isabella , a fifteen - year - old girl from the neighbourhood , as `` a very lively , beautifully built , joyous individual , without any deformation caused by the silly fashion of the corset and completely suitable to our artistic demands , especially in the blossoming condition of her girlish buds . '' The group composed a manifesto ( mostly Kirchner 's work ) , which was carved on wood and asserted a new generation , `` who want freedom in our work and in our lives , independence from older , established forces . '' Otto Mueller , 1912 In September and October 1906 , the first group exhibition was held , focused on the female nude , in the showroom of K.F.M. Seifert and Co. in Dresden . Emil Nolde ( 1867 -- 1956 ) and Max Pechstein ( 1881 -- 1955 ) joined the group in 1906 . Bleyl married in 1907 , and , with a concern to support his family , left the group . Otto Mueller ( 1874 -- 1930 ) joined in 1910 . Between 1907 and 1911 , Brücke members stayed during the summer at the Moritzburg lakes and on the island of Fehmarn . In 1911 , Kirchner moved to Berlin , where he founded a private art school , MIUM - Institut , in collaboration with Max Pechstein with the aim of promulgating `` Moderner Unterricht im Malen '' ( modern teaching of painting ) . This was not a success and closed the following year . In 1913 , Kirchner wrote Chronik der Brücke ( Brücke chronicle ) , which led to the ending of the group . Legacy ( edit ) Die Brücke was one of two groups of German painters fundamental to Expressionism , the other being Der Blaue Reiter group ( `` The Blue Rider '' ) , formed in Munich in 1911 .

The stream is entirely within the United States ( although its drainage basin reaches into Canada ) , its source is in northern Minnesota and it flows generally south for 2,320 miles ( 3,730 km ) to the Mississippi River Delta in the Gulf of Mexico . With its many tributaries , the Mississippi 's watershed drains all or parts of 31 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces between the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains . The Mississippi ranks as the fourth - longest and fifteenth - largest river in the world by discharge . The river either borders or passes through the states of Minnesota , Wisconsin , Iowa , Illinois , Missouri , Kentucky , Tennessee , Arkansas , Mississippi , and Louisiana . Native Americans long lived along the Mississippi River and its tributaries . Most were hunter - gatherers , but some , such as the Mound Builders , formed prolific agricultural societies . The arrival of Europeans in the 16th century changed the native way of life as first explorers , then settlers , ventured into the basin in increasing numbers . The river served first as a barrier , forming borders for New Spain , New France , and the early United States , and then as a vital transportation artery and communications link . In the 19th century , during the height of the ideology of manifest destiny , the Mississippi and several western tributaries , most notably the Missouri , formed pathways for the western expansion of the United States . Formed from thick layers of the river 's silt deposits , the Mississippi embayment is one of the most fertile agricultural regions of the country , which resulted in the river 's storied steamboat era . During the American Civil War , the Mississippi 's capture by Union forces marked a turning point towards victory due to the river 's importance as a route of trade and travel , not least to the Confederacy . Because of substantial growth of cities and the larger ships and barges that supplanted riverboats , the first decades of the 20th century saw the construction of massive engineering works such as levees , locks and dams , often built in combination . Since modern development of the basin began , the Mississippi has also seen its share of pollution and environmental problems -- most notably large volumes of agricultural runoff , which has led to the Gulf of Mexico dead zone off the Delta . In recent years , the river has shown a steady shift towards the Atchafalaya River channel in the Delta ; a course change would be an economic disaster for the port city of New Orleans .

In the 18th century , the river was the primary western boundary of the young United States , and since the country 's expansion westward , the Mississippi River has been widely considered a convenient if approximate dividing line between the Eastern , Southern , and Midwestern United States , and the Western United States . This is exemplified by the Gateway Arch in St. Louis and the phrase `` Trans - Mississippi '' as used in the name of the Trans - Mississippi Exposition . It is common to qualify a regionally superlative landmark in relation to it , such as `` the highest peak east of the Mississippi '' or `` the oldest city west of the Mississippi '' . The FCC also uses it as the dividing line for broadcast callsigns , which begin with W to the east and K to the west , mixing together in media markets along the river . Physical geography ( edit ) The geographical setting of the Mississippi River includes considerations of the course of the river itself , its watershed , its outflow , its prehistoric and historic course changes , and possibilities of future course changes . The New Madrid Seismic Zone along the river is also noteworthy . These various basic geographical aspects of the river in turn underlie its human history and present uses of the waterway and its adjacent lands . Divisions ( edit ) The Mississippi River can be divided into three sections : the Upper Mississippi , the river from its headwaters to the confluence with the Missouri River ; the Middle Mississippi , which is downriver from the Missouri to the Ohio River ; and the Lower Mississippi , which flows from the Ohio to the Gulf of Mexico . Upper Mississippi ( edit ) The beginning of the Mississippi River at Lake Itasca ( 2004 ) Mississippi head of navigation , St. Anthony Falls Confluence of the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers , viewed from Wyalusing State Park in Wisconsin The Upper Mississippi runs from its headwaters to its confluence with the Missouri River at St. Louis , Missouri . It is divided into two sections : The headwaters , 493 miles ( 793 km ) from the source to Saint Anthony Falls in Minneapolis , Minnesota ; and A navigable channel , formed by a series of man - made lakes between Minneapolis and St. Louis , Missouri , some 664 miles ( 1,069 km ) . The source of the Upper Mississippi branch is traditionally accepted as Lake Itasca , 1,475 feet ( 450 m ) above sea level in Itasca State Park in Clearwater County , Minnesota . The name `` Itasca '' was chosen to designate the `` true head '' of the Mississippi River as a combination of the last four letters of the Latin word for truth ( veritas ) and the first two letters of the Latin word for head ( caput ) . However , the lake is in turn fed by a number of smaller streams . From its origin at Lake Itasca to St. Louis , Missouri , the waterway 's flow is moderated by 43 dams . Fourteen of these dams are located above Minneapolis in the headwaters region and serve multiple purposes , including power generation and recreation . The remaining 29 dams , beginning in downtown Minneapolis , all contain locks and were constructed to improve commercial navigation of the upper river . Taken as a whole , these 43 dams significantly shape the geography and influence the ecology of the upper river . Beginning just below Saint Paul , Minnesota , and continuing throughout the upper and lower river , the Mississippi is further controlled by thousands of wing dikes that moderate the river 's flow in order to maintain an open navigation channel and prevent the river from eroding its banks . The head of navigation on the Mississippi is the Coon Rapids Dam in Coon Rapids , Minnesota . Before it was built in 1913 , steamboats could occasionally go upstream as far as Saint Cloud , Minnesota , depending on river conditions . The uppermost lock and dam on the Upper Mississippi River is the Upper St. Anthony Falls Lock and Dam in Minneapolis . Above the dam , the river 's elevation is 799 feet ( 244 m ) . Below the dam , the river 's elevation is 750 feet ( 230 m ) . This 49 - foot ( 15 m ) drop is the largest of all the Mississippi River locks and dams . The origin of the dramatic drop is a waterfall preserved adjacent to the lock under an apron of concrete . Saint Anthony Falls is the only true waterfall on the entire Mississippi River . The water elevation continues to drop steeply as it passes through the gorge carved by the waterfall . After the completion of the St. Anthony Falls Lock and Dam in 1963 , the river 's head of navigation moved upstream , to the Coon Rapids Dam . However , the Locks were closed in 2015 to control the spread of invasive Asian carp , making Minneapolis once again the site of the head of navigation of the river . The Upper Mississippi has a number of natural and artificial lakes , with its widest point being Lake Winnibigoshish , near Grand Rapids , Minnesota , over 11 miles ( 18 km ) across . Lake Onalaska , created by Lock and Dam No. 7 , near La Crosse , Wisconsin , is more than 4 miles ( 6.4 km ) wide . Lake Pepin , a natural lake formed behind the delta of the Chippewa River of Wisconsin as it enters the Upper Mississippi , is more than 2 miles ( 3.2 km ) wide . By the time the Upper Mississippi reaches Saint Paul , Minnesota , below Lock and Dam No. 1 , it has dropped more than half its original elevation and is 687 feet ( 209 m ) above sea level . From St. Paul to St. Louis , Missouri , the river elevation falls much more slowly , and is controlled and managed as a series of pools created by 26 locks and dams . The Upper Mississippi River is joined by the Minnesota River at Fort Snelling in the Twin Cities ; the St. Croix River near Prescott , Wisconsin ; the Cannon River near Red Wing , Minnesota ; the Zumbro River at Wabasha , Minnesota ; the Black , La Crosse , and Root rivers in La Crosse , Wisconsin ; the Wisconsin River at Prairie du Chien , Wisconsin ; the Rock River at the Quad Cities ; the Iowa River near Wapello , Iowa ; the Skunk River south of Burlington , Iowa ; and the Des Moines River at Keokuk , Iowa . Other major tributaries of the Upper Mississippi include the Crow River in Minnesota , the Chippewa River in Wisconsin , the Maquoketa River and the Wapsipinicon River in Iowa , and the Illinois River in Illinois . The Upper Mississippi is largely a multi-thread stream with many bars and islands . From its confluence with the St. Croix River downstream to Dubuque , Iowa , the river is entrenched , with high bedrock bluffs lying on either side . The height of these bluffs decreases to the south of Dubuque , though they are still significant through Savanna , Illinois . This topography contrasts strongly with the Lower Mississippi , which is a meandering river in a broad , flat area , only rarely flowing alongside a bluff ( as at Vicksburg , Mississippi ) . The confluence of the Mississippi ( left ) and Ohio ( right ) rivers at Cairo , Illinois , the demarcation between the Middle and the Lower Mississippi River Middle Mississippi ( edit ) The Mississippi River is known as the Middle Mississippi from the Upper Mississippi River 's confluence with the Missouri River at St. Louis , Missouri , for 190 miles ( 310 km ) to its confluence with the Ohio River at Cairo , Illinois . The Middle Mississippi is relatively free - flowing . From St. Louis to the Ohio River confluence , the Middle Mississippi falls 220 feet ( 67 m ) over 180 miles ( 290 km ) for an average rate of 1.2 feet per mile ( 23 cm / km ) . At its confluence with the Ohio River , the Middle Mississippi is 315 feet ( 96 m ) above sea level . Apart from the Missouri and Meramec rivers of Missouri and the Kaskaskia River of Illinois , no major tributaries enter the Middle Mississippi River . Lower Mississippi ( edit ) Lower Mississippi River near New Orleans The Mississippi River is called the Lower Mississippi River from its confluence with the Ohio River to its mouth at the Gulf of Mexico , a distance of about 1,000 miles ( 1,600 km ) . At the confluence of the Ohio and the Middle Mississippi , the long - term mean discharge of the Ohio at Cairo , Illinois is 281,500 cubic feet per second ( 7,970 cubic metres per second ) , while the long - term mean discharge of the Mississippi at Thebes , Illinois ( just upriver from Cairo ) is 208,200 cu ft / s ( 5,900 m / s ) . Thus , by volume , the main branch of the Mississippi River system at Cairo can be considered to be the Ohio River ( and the Allegheny River further upstream ) , rather than the Middle Mississippi . In addition to the Ohio River , the major tributaries of the Lower Mississippi River are the White River , flowing in at the White River National Wildlife Refuge in east central Arkansas ; the Arkansas River , joining the Mississippi at Arkansas Post ; the Big Black River in Mississippi ; and the Yazoo River , meeting the Mississippi at Vicksburg , Mississippi . The widest point of the Mississippi River is in the Lower Mississippi portion where it exceeds 1 mile ( 1.6 km ) in width in several places . Deliberate water diversion at the Old River Control Structure in Louisiana allows the Atchafalaya River in Louisiana to be a major distributary of the Mississippi River , with 30 % of the Mississippi flowing to the Gulf of Mexico by this route , rather than continuing down the Mississippi 's current channel past Baton Rouge and New Orleans on a longer route to the Gulf . Although the Red River is commonly thought to be a tributary , it is actually not , because its water flows separately into the Gulf of Mexico through the Atchafalaya River . Watershed ( edit ) Map of the Mississippi River watershed . Play media An animation of the flows along the rivers of the Mississippi watershed . See also : List of drainage basins by area The Mississippi River has the world 's fourth - largest drainage basin ( `` watershed '' or `` catchment '' ) . The basin covers more than 1,245,000 square miles ( 3,220,000 km ) , including all or parts of 31 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces . The drainage basin empties into the Gulf of Mexico , part of the Atlantic Ocean . The total catchment of the Mississippi River covers nearly 40 % of the landmass of the continental United States . The highest point within the watershed is also the highest point of the Rocky Mountains , Mount Elbert at 14,440 feet ( 4,400 m ) . Sequence of NASA MODIS images showing the outflow of fresh water from the Mississippi ( arrows ) into the Gulf of Mexico ( 2004 ) In the United States , the Mississippi River drains the majority of the area between the crest of the Rocky Mountains and the crest of the Appalachian Mountains , except for various regions drained to Hudson Bay by the Red River of the North ; to the Atlantic Ocean by the Great Lakes and the Saint Lawrence River ; and to the Gulf of Mexico by the Rio Grande , the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers , the Chattahoochee and Appalachicola rivers , and various smaller coastal waterways along the Gulf . The Mississippi River empties into the Gulf of Mexico about 100 miles ( 160 km ) downstream from New Orleans . Measurements of the length of the Mississippi from Lake Itasca to the Gulf of Mexico vary somewhat , but the United States Geological Survey 's number is 2,320 miles ( 3,730 km ) . The retention time from Lake Itasca to the Gulf is typically about 90 days . Outflow ( edit ) The Mississippi River discharges at an annual average rate of between 200 and 700 thousand cubic feet per second ( 7,000 -- 20,000 m / s ) . Although it is the fifth - largest river in the world by volume , this flow is a small fraction of the output of the Amazon , which moves nearly 7 million cubic feet per second ( 200,000 m / s ) during wet seasons . On average , the Mississippi has only 8 % the flow of the Amazon River . Fresh river water flowing from the Mississippi into the Gulf of Mexico does not mix into the salt water immediately . The images from NASA 's MODIS ( to the right ) show a large plume of fresh water , which appears as a dark ribbon against the lighter - blue surrounding waters . These images demonstrate that the plume did not mix with the surrounding sea water immediately . Instead , it stayed intact as it flowed through the Gulf of Mexico , into the Straits of Florida , and entered the Gulf Stream . The Mississippi River water rounded the tip of Florida and traveled up the southeast coast to the latitude of Georgia before finally mixing in so thoroughly with the ocean that it could no longer be detected by MODIS . Before 1900 , the Mississippi River transported an estimated 400 million metric tons of sediment per year from the interior of the United States to coastal Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico . During the last two decades , this number was only 145 million metric tons per year . The reduction in sediment transported down the Mississippi River is the result of engineering modification of the Mississippi , Missouri , and Ohio rivers and their tributaries by dams , meander cutoffs , river - training structures , and bank revetments and soil erosion control programs in the areas drained by them . Course changes ( edit ) Over geologic time , the Mississippi River has experienced numerous large and small changes to its main course , as well as additions , deletions , and other changes among its numerous tributaries , and the lower Mississippi River has used different pathways as its main channel to the Gulf of Mexico across the delta region . Through a natural process known as avulsion or delta switching , the lower Mississippi River has shifted its final course to the mouth of the Gulf of Mexico every thousand years or so . This occurs because the deposits of silt and sediment begin to clog its channel , raising the river 's level and causing it to eventually find a steeper , more direct route to the Gulf of Mexico . The abandoned distributaries diminish in volume and form what are known as bayous . This process has , over the past 5,000 years , caused the coastline of south Louisiana to advance toward the Gulf from 15 to 50 miles ( 24 to 80 km ) . The currently active delta lobe is called the Birdfoot Delta , after its shape , or the Balize Delta , after La Balize , Louisiana , the first French settlement at the mouth of the Mississippi . Prehistoric courses ( edit ) The current form of the Mississippi River basin was largely shaped by the Laurentide Ice Sheet of the most recent Ice Age . The southernmost extent of this enormous glaciation extended well into the present - day United States and Mississippi basin . When the ice sheet began to recede , hundreds of feet of rich sediment were deposited , creating the flat and fertile landscape of the Mississippi Valley . During the melt , giant glacial rivers found drainage paths into the Mississippi watershed , creating such features as the Minnesota River , James River , and Milk River valleys . When the ice sheet completely retreated , many of these `` temporary '' rivers found paths to Hudson Bay or the Arctic Ocean , leaving the Mississippi Basin with many features `` oversized '' for the existing rivers to have carved in the same time period . Ice sheets during the Illinoian Stage about 300,000 to 132,000 years before present , blocked the Mississippi near Rock Island , Illinois , diverting it to its present channel farther to the west , the current western border of Illinois . The Hennepin Canal roughly follows the ancient channel of the Mississippi downstream from Rock Island to Hennepin , Illinois . South of Hennepin , to Alton , Illinois , the current Illinois River follows the ancient channel used by the Mississippi River before the Illinoian Stage . View along the former riverbed at the Tennessee / Arkansas state line near Reverie , Tennessee ( 2007 ) Timeline of outflow course changes c. 5000 BC : The last Ice Age ended ; world sea level became what it is now . c. 2500 BC : Bayou Teche became the main course of the Mississippi . c. 800 BC : The Mississippi diverted further east . c. 200 AD : Bayou Lafourche became the main course of the Mississippi . c. 1000 AD : The Mississippi 's present course took over . Before c. 1400 AD : The Red River of the South flowed parallel to the lower Mississippi to the sea 15th century : Turnbull 's Bend in the lower Mississippi extended so far west that it captured the Red River of the South . The Red River below the captured section became the Atchafalaya River . 1831 : Captain Henry M. Shreve dug a new short course for the Mississippi through the neck of Turnbull 's Bend . 1833 to November 1873 : The Great Raft ( a huge logjam in the Atchafalaya River ) was cleared . The Atchafalaya started to capture the Mississippi and to become its new main lower course . 1963 : The Old River Control Structure was completed , controlling how much Mississippi water entered the Atchafalaya . Cahokia 's rise and fall linked to river flooding ( article in Popular Archaeology periodical ) Historic course changes ( edit ) In March 1876 , the Mississippi suddenly changed course near the settlement of Reverie , Tennessee , leaving a small part of Tipton County , Tennessee , attached to Arkansas and separated from the rest of Tennessee by the new river channel . Since this event was an avulsion , rather than the effect of incremental erosion and deposition , the state line still follows the old channel . The town of Kaskaskia , Illinois once stood on a peninsula at the confluence of the Mississippi and Kaskaskia ( Okaw ) Rivers . Founded as a French colonial community , it later became the capital of the Illinois Territory and was the first state capital of Illinois until 1819 . Beginning in 1844 , successive flooding caused the Mississippi River to slowly encroach east . A major flood in 1881 caused it to overtake the lower 10 miles of the Kaskaskia River , forming a new Mississippi channel and cutting off the town from the rest of the state . Later flooding destroyed most of the remaining town , including the original State House . Today , the remaining 2,300 acre island and community of 14 residents is known as an enclave of Illinois and is accessible only from the Missouri side . New Madrid Seismic Zone ( edit ) The New Madrid Seismic Zone , along the Mississippi River near New Madrid , Missouri , between Memphis and St. Louis , is related to an aulacogen ( failed rift ) that formed at the same time as the Gulf of Mexico . This area is still quite active seismically . Four great earthquakes in 1811 and 1812 , estimated at approximately 8 on the Richter magnitude scale , had tremendous local effects in the then sparsely settled area , and were felt in many other places in the midwestern and eastern U.S. These earthquakes created Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee from the altered landscape near the river . Cultural geography ( edit ) State boundaries ( edit ) The Mississippi River runs through or along 10 states , from Minnesota to Louisiana , and was used to define portions of these states ' borders , with Wisconsin , Illinois , Kentucky , Tennessee , and Mississippi along the east side of the river , and Iowa , Missouri , and Arkansas along its west side . Substantial parts of both Minnesota and Louisiana are on either side of the river , although the Mississippi defines part of the boundary of each of these states . In all of these cases , the middle of the riverbed at the time the borders were established was used as the line to define the borders between adjacent states . In various areas , the river has since shifted , but the state borders have not changed , still following the former bed of the Mississippi River as of their establishment , leaving several small isolated areas of one state across the new river channel , contiguous with the adjacent state . Also , due to a meander in the river , a small part of western Kentucky is contiguous with Tennessee , but isolated from the rest of its state . Lake Pepin , the widest naturally occurring part of the Mississippi , is part of the Minnesota -- Wisconsin border .

The earliest bridge across the Mississippi River was built in 1855 . It spanned the river in Minneapolis , Minnesota where the current Hennepin Avenue Bridge is located . No highway or railroad tunnels cross under the Mississippi River . The first railroad bridge across the Mississippi was built in 1856 . It spanned the river between the Rock Island Arsenal in Illinois and Davenport , Iowa . Steamboat captains of the day , fearful of competition from the railroads , considered the new bridge a hazard to navigation . Two weeks after the bridge opened , the steamboat Effie Afton rammed part of the bridge , setting it on fire . Legal proceedings ensued , with Abraham Lincoln defending the railroad . The lawsuit went to the Supreme Court of the United States , which ruled in favor of the railroad . Below is a general overview of selected Mississippi bridges which have notable engineering or landmark significance , with their cities or locations .

Navigation and flood Control ( edit ) Main article : List of locks and dams of the Upper Mississippi River Towboat and barges at Memphis , Tennessee Ships on the lower part of the Mississippi A clear channel is needed for the barges and other vessels that make the main stem Mississippi one of the great commercial waterways of the world . The task of maintaining a navigation channel is the responsibility of the United States Army Corps of Engineers , which was established in 1802 . Earlier projects began as early as 1829 to remove snags , close off secondary channels and excavate rocks and sandbars . Steamboats entered trade in the 1820s , so the period 1830 -- 1850 became the golden age of steamboats . As there were few roads or rails in the lands of the Louisiana Purchase , river traffic was an ideal solution . Cotton , timber and food came down the river , as did Appalachian coal . The port of New Orleans boomed as it was the trans - shipment point to deep sea ocean vessels . As a result , the image of the twin stacked , wedding cake Mississippi steamer entered into American mythology . Steamers worked the entire route from the trickles of Montana , to the Ohio River ; down the Missouri and Tennessee , to the main channel of the Mississippi . Only with the arrival of the railroads in the 1880s did steamboat traffic diminish . Steamboats remained a feature until the 1920s . Most have been superseded by pusher tugs . A few survive as icons -- the Delta Queen and the River Queen for instance . Oil tanker on the Lower Mississippi near the Port of New Orleans Barge on the Lower Mississippi River A series of 29 locks and dams on the upper Mississippi , most of which were built in the 1930s , is designed primarily to maintain a 9 - foot - deep ( 2.7 m ) channel for commercial barge traffic . The lakes formed are also used for recreational boating and fishing . The dams make the river deeper and wider but do not stop it . No flood control is intended . During periods of high flow , the gates , some of which are submersible , are completely opened and the dams simply cease to function . Below St. Louis , the Mississippi is relatively free - flowing , although it is constrained by numerous levees and directed by numerous wing dams . On the lower Mississippi , from Baton Rouge to the mouth of the Mississippi , the navigation depth is 45 feet ( 14 m ) , allowing container ships and cruise ships to dock at the Port of New Orleans and bulk cargo ships shorter than 150 - foot ( 46 m ) air draft that fit under the Huey P. Long Bridge to traverse the Mississippi to Baton Rouge . There is a feasibility study to dredge this portion of the river to 50 feet ( 15 m ) to allow New Panamax ship depths . 19th century ( edit ) Lock and Dam No. 11 , north of Dubuque , Iowa ( 2007 ) In 1829 , there were surveys of the two major obstacles on the upper Mississippi , the Des Moines Rapids and the Rock Island Rapids , where the river was shallow and the riverbed was rock . The Des Moines Rapids were about 11 miles ( 18 km ) long and just above the mouth of the Des Moines River at Keokuk , Iowa . The Rock Island Rapids were between Rock Island and Moline , Illinois . Both rapids were considered virtually impassable . In 1848 , the Illinois and Michigan Canal was built to connect the Mississippi River to Lake Michigan via the Illinois River near Peru , Illinois . The canal allowed shipping between these important waterways . In 1900 , the canal was replaced by the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal . The second canal , in addition to shipping , also allowed Chicago to address specific health issues ( typhoid fever , cholera and other waterborne diseases ) by sending its waste down the Illinois and Mississippi river systems rather than polluting its water source of Lake Michigan . The Corps of Engineers recommended the excavation of a 5 - foot - deep ( 1.5 m ) channel at the Des Moines Rapids , but work did not begin until after Lieutenant Robert E. Lee endorsed the project in 1837 . The Corps later also began excavating the Rock Island Rapids . By 1866 , it had become evident that excavation was impractical , and it was decided to build a canal around the Des Moines Rapids . The canal opened in 1877 , but the Rock Island Rapids remained an obstacle . In 1878 , Congress authorized the Corps to establish a 4.5 - foot - deep ( 1.4 m ) channel to be obtained by building wing dams which direct the river to a narrow channel causing it to cut a deeper channel , by closing secondary channels and by dredging . The channel project was complete when the Moline Lock , which bypassed the Rock Island Rapids , opened in 1907 . To improve navigation between St. Paul , Minnesota , and Prairie du Chien , Wisconsin , the Corps constructed several dams on lakes in the headwaters area , including Lake Winnibigoshish and Lake Pokegama . The dams , which were built beginning in the 1880s , stored spring run - off which was released during low water to help maintain channel depth . Lock and Dam No. 2 , near Hastings , Minnesota ( 2007 ) Lock and Dam No. 15 , is the largest roller dam in the world Davenport , Iowa ; Rock Island , Illinois . ( 1990 ) 20th century ( edit ) In 1907 , Congress authorized a 6 - foot - deep ( 1.8 m ) channel project on the Mississippi , which was not complete when it was abandoned in the late 1920s in favor of the 9 - foot - deep ( 2.7 m ) channel project . In 1913 , construction was complete on Lock and Dam No. 19 at Keokuk , Iowa , the first dam below St. Anthony Falls . Built by a private power company ( Union Electric Company of St. Louis ) to generate electricity ( originally for streetcars in St. Louis ) , the Keokuk dam was one of the largest hydro - electric plants in the world at the time . The dam also eliminated the Des Moines Rapids . Lock and Dam No. 1 was completed in Minneapolis , Minnesota in 1917 . Lock and Dam No. 2 , near Hastings , Minnesota , was completed in 1930 . Before the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 , the Corps 's primary strategy was to close off as many side channels as possible to increase the flow in the main river . It was thought that the river 's velocity would scour off bottom sediments , deepening the river and decreasing the possibility of flooding . The 1927 flood proved this to be so wrong that communities threatened by the flood began to create their own levee breaks to relieve the force of the rising river . The Rivers and Harbors Act of 1930 authorized the 9 - foot ( 2.7 m ) channel project , which called for a navigation channel 9 feet ( 2.7 m ) feet deep and 400 feet ( 120 m ) wide to accommodate multiple - barge tows . This was achieved by a series of locks and dams , and by dredging . Twenty - three new locks and dams were built on the upper Mississippi in the 1930s in addition to the three already in existence . Formation of the Atchafalaya River and construction of the Old River Control Structure . Project design flood flow capacity for the Mississippi river in thousands of cubic feet per second . Until the 1950s , there was no dam below Lock and Dam 26 at Alton , Illinois . Chain of Rocks Lock ( Lock and Dam No. 27 ) , which consists of a low - water dam and an 8.4 - mile - long ( 13.5 km ) canal , was added in 1953 , just below the confluence with the Missouri River , primarily to bypass a series of rock ledges at St. Louis . It also serves to protect the St. Louis city water intakes during times of low water . U.S. government scientists determined in the 1950s that the Mississippi River was starting to switch to the Atchafalaya River channel because of its much steeper path to the Gulf of Mexico . Eventually the Atchafalaya River would capture the Mississippi River and become its main channel to the Gulf of Mexico , leaving New Orleans on a side channel . As a result , the U.S. Congress authorized a project called the Old River Control Structure , which has prevented the Mississippi River from leaving its current channel that drains into the Gulf via New Orleans . Because the large scale of high - energy water flow threatened to damage the structure , an auxiliary flow control station was built adjacent to the standing control station . This $300 million project was completed in 1986 by the Corps of Engineers . Beginning in the 1970s , the Corps applied hydrological transport models to analyze flood flow and water quality of the Mississippi . Dam 26 at Alton , Illinois , which had structural problems , was replaced by the Mel Price Lock and Dam in 1990 . The original Lock and Dam 26 was demolished . A low - water dam deepens the pool above the Chain of Rocks Lock near St. Louis ( 2006 ) Soldiers of the Missouri Army National Guard sandbag the River in Clarksville , Missouri , June 2008 , following flooding . 21st century ( edit ) The Corps now actively creates and maintains spillways and floodways to divert periodic water surges into backwater channels and lakes , as well as route part of the Mississippi 's flow into the Atchafalaya Basin and from there to the Gulf of Mexico , bypassing Baton Rouge and New Orleans . The main structures are the Birds Point - New Madrid Floodway in Missouri ; the Old River Control Structure and the Morganza Spillway in Louisiana , which direct excess water down the west and east sides ( respectively ) of the Atchafalaya River ; and the Bonnet Carré Spillway , also in Louisiana , which directs floodwaters to Lake Pontchartrain ( see diagram ) . Some experts blame urban sprawl for increases in both the risk and frequency of flooding on the Mississippi River . Some of the pre-1927 strategy is still in use today , with the Corps actively cutting the necks of horseshoe bends , allowing the water to move faster and reducing flood heights . History ( edit ) Native Americans ( edit ) Main articles : Woodland period , Hopewell tradition , and Mississippian culture Monks Mound , a platform mound at the site of the Mississippian city of Cahokia . The area of the Mississippi River basin was first settled by hunting and gathering Native American peoples and is considered one of the few independent centers of plant domestication in human history . Evidence of early cultivation of sunflower , a goosefoot , a marsh elder and an indigenous squash dates to the 4th millennium BCE . The lifestyle gradually became more settled after around 1000 BCE during what is now called the Woodland period , with increasing evidence of shelter construction , pottery , weaving and other practices . A network of trade routes referred to as the Hopewell interaction sphere was active along the waterways between about 200 and 500 CE , spreading common cultural practices over the entire area between the Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes . A period of more isolated communities followed , and agriculture introduced from Mesoamerica based on the Three Sisters ( maize , beans and squash ) gradually came to dominate . After around 800 CE there arose an advanced agricultural society today referred to as the Mississippian culture , with evidence of highly stratified complex chiefdoms and large population centers . The most prominent of these , now called Cahokia , was occupied between about 600 and 1400 CE and at its peak numbered between 8,000 and 40,000 inhabitants , larger than London , England of that time . At the time of first contact with Europeans , Cahokia and many other Mississippian cities had dispersed , and archaeological finds attest to increased social stress . Modern American Indian nations inhabiting the Mississippi basin include Cheyenne , Sioux , Ojibwe , Potawatomi , Ho - Chunk , Fox , Kickapoo , Tamaroa , Moingwena , Quapaw and Chickasaw . The word Mississippi itself comes from Messipi , the French rendering of the Anishinaabe ( Ojibwe or Algonquin ) name for the river , Misi - ziibi ( Great River ) . The Ojibwe called Lake Itasca Omashkoozo - zaaga'igan ( Elk Lake ) and the river flowing out of it Omashkoozo - ziibi ( Elk River ) . After flowing into Lake Bemidji , the Ojibwe called the river Bemijigamaag - ziibi ( River from the Traversing Lake ) . After flowing into Cass Lake , the name of the river changes to Gaa - miskwaawaakokaag - ziibi ( Red Cedar River ) and then out of Lake Winnibigoshish as Wiinibiigoonzhish - ziibi ( Miserable Wretched Dirty Water River ) , Gichi - ziibi ( Big River ) after the confluence with the Leech Lake River , then finally as Misi - ziibi ( Great River ) after the confluence with the Crow Wing River . After the expeditions by Giacomo Beltrami and Henry Schoolcraft , the longest stream above the juncture of the Crow Wing River and Gichi - ziibi was named `` Mississippi River '' . The Mississippi River Band of Chippewa Indians , known as the Gichi - ziibiwininiwag , are named after the stretch of the Mississippi River known as the Gichi - ziibi . The Cheyenne , one of the earliest inhabitants of the upper Mississippi River , called it the Máʼxe - éʼometaaʼe ( Big Greasy River ) in the Cheyenne language . The Arapaho name for the river is Beesniicíe . The Pawnee name is Kickaátit . The Mississippi was spelled Mississipi or Missisipi during French Louisiana and was also known as the Rivière Saint - Louis . European exploration ( edit ) Discovery of the Mississippi by De Soto A.D. 1541 by William Henry Powell depicts Hernando De Soto and Spanish Conquistadores seeing the Mississippi River for the first time . Ca . 1681 map of Marquette and Jolliet 's 1673 expedition . On May 8 , 1541 , Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto became the first recorded European to reach the Mississippi River , which he called Río del Espíritu Santo ( `` River of the Holy Spirit '' ) , in the area of what is now Mississippi . In Spanish , the river is called Río Mississippi . French explorers Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette began exploring the Mississippi in the 17th century . Marquette traveled with a Sioux Indian who named it Ne Tongo ( `` Big river '' in Sioux language ) in 1673 . Marquette proposed calling it the River of the Immaculate Conception . When Louis Jolliet explored the Mississippi Valley in the 17th century , natives guided him to a quicker way to return to French Canada via the Illinois River . When he found the Chicago Portage , he remarked that a canal of `` only half a league '' ( less than 2 miles ( 3.2 km ) , 3 km ) would join the Mississippi and the Great Lakes . In 1848 , the continental divide separating the waters of the Great Lakes and the Mississippi Valley was breached by the Illinois and Michigan canal via the Chicago River . This both accelerated the development , and forever changed the ecology of the Mississippi Valley and the Great Lakes . In 1682 , René - Robert Cavelier , Sieur de La Salle and Henri de Tonti claimed the entire Mississippi River Valley for France , calling the river Colbert River after Jean - Baptiste Colbert and the region La Louisiane , for King Louis XIV . On March 2 , 1699 , Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville rediscovered the mouth of the Mississippi , following the death of La Salle . The French built the small fort of La Balise there to control passage . In 1718 , about 100 miles ( 160 km ) upriver , New Orleans was established along the river crescent by Jean - Baptiste Le Moyne , Sieur de Bienville , with construction patterned after the 1711 resettlement on Mobile Bay of Mobile , the capital of French Louisiana at the time . Colonization ( edit ) See also : Flood of 1851 A Home on the Mississippi ( 1871 ) Following Britain 's victory in the Seven Years War the Mississippi became the border between the British and Spanish Empires . The Treaty of Paris ( 1763 ) gave Great Britain rights to all land east of the Mississippi and Spain rights to land west of the Mississippi . Spain also ceded Florida to Britain to regain Cuba , which the British occupied during the war . Britain then divided the territory into East and West Florida . Article 8 of the Treaty of Paris ( 1783 ) states , `` The navigation of the river Mississippi , from its source to the ocean , shall forever remain free and open to the subjects of Great Britain and the citizens of the United States '' . With this treaty , which ended the American Revolutionary War , Britain also ceded West Florida back to Spain to regain the Bahamas , which Spain had occupied during the war . In 1800 , under duress from Napoleon of France , Spain ceded an undefined portion of West Florida to France . When France then sold the Louisiana Territory to the U.S. in 1803 , a dispute arose again between Spain and the U.S. on which parts of West Florida exactly had Spain ceded to France , which would in turn decide which parts of West Florida were now U.S. property versus Spanish property . These aspirations ended when Spain was pressured into signing Pinckney 's Treaty in 1795 . France reacquired ' Louisiana ' from Spain in the secret Treaty of San Ildefonso in 1800 . The United States then secured effective control of the river when it bought the Louisiana Territory from France in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 . The last serious European challenge to U.S. control of the river came at the conclusion of War of 1812 when British forces mounted an attack on New Orleans -- the attack was repulsed by an American army under the command of General Andrew Jackson . In the Treaty of 1818 , the U.S. and Great Britain agreed to fix the border running from the Lake of the Woods to the Rocky Mountains along the 49th parallel north . In effect , the U.S. ceded the northwestern extremity of the Mississippi basin to the British in exchange for the southern portion of the Red River basin . So many settlers traveled westward through the Mississippi river basin , as well as settled in it , that Zadok Cramer wrote a guide book called The Navigator , detailing the features and dangers and navigable waterways of the area . It was so popular that he updated and expanded it through 12 editions over a period of 25 years . Shifting sand bars made early navigation difficult . The colonization of the area was barely slowed by the three earthquakes in 1811 and 1812 , estimated at approximately 8 on the Richter magnitude scale , that were centered near New Madrid , Missouri . Steamboat era ( edit ) Main article : Steamboats of the Mississippi Mark Twain 's book , Life on the Mississippi , covered the steamboat commerce which took place from 1830 to 1870 on the river before more modern ships replaced the steamer . The book was published first in serial form in Harper 's Weekly in seven parts in 1875 . The full version , including a passage from the then unfinished Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and works from other authors , was published by James R. Osgood & Company in 1885 . The first steamboat to travel the full length of the Lower Mississippi from the Ohio River to New Orleans was the New Orleans in December 1811 . Its maiden voyage occurred during the series of New Madrid earthquakes in 1811 -- 12 . The Upper Mississippi was treacherous , unpredictable and to make traveling worse , the area was not properly mapped out or surveyed . Until the 1840s only two trips a year to the Twin Cities landings were made by steamboats which suggests it was not very profitable . Steamboat transport remained a viable industry , both in terms of passengers and freight until the end of the first decade of the 20th century . Among the several Mississippi River system steamboat companies was the noted Anchor Line , which , from 1859 to 1898 , operated a luxurious fleet of steamers between St. Louis and New Orleans . Italian explorer Giacomo Beltrami , wrote about his journey on the Virginia , which was the first steam boat to make it to Fort St. Anthony in Minnesota . He referred to his voyage as a promenade that was once a journey on the Mississippi . The steamboat era changed the economic and political life of the Mississippi , as well as the nature of travel itself . The Mississippi was completely changed by the steamboat era as it transformed into a flourishing tourists trade . Civil War ( edit ) Battle of Vicksburg ( ca . 1888 ) Mississippi River from Eunice , Arkansas , a ghost town . Eunice was destroyed by gunboats during the Civil War . Control of the river was a strategic objective of both sides in the American Civil War . In 1862 Union forces coming down the river successfully cleared Confederate defenses at Island Number 10 and Memphis , Tennessee , while Naval forces coming upriver from the Gulf of Mexico captured New Orleans , Louisiana . The remaining major Confederate stronghold was on the heights overlooking the river at Vicksburg , Mississippi , and the Union 's Vicksburg Campaign ( December 1862 to July 1863 ) , and the fall of Port Hudson , completed control of the lower Mississippi River . The Union victory ending the Siege of Vicksburg on July 4 , 1863 , was pivotal to the Union 's final victory of the Civil War . 20th and 21st centuries ( edit ) See also : Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 , Great Flood of 1951 , and Great Mississippi and Missouri Rivers Flood of 1993 The `` Big Freeze '' of 1918 -- 19 blocked river traffic north of Memphis , Tennessee , preventing transportation of coal from southern Illinois . This resulted in widespread shortages , high prices , and rationing of coal in January and February . In the spring of 1927 , the river broke out of its banks in 145 places , during the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and inundated 27,000 sq mi ( 70,000 km ) to a depth of up to 30 feet ( 9.1 m ) . In 1962 and 1963 , industrial accidents spilled 3.5 million US gallons ( 13,000,000 L ) of soybean oil into the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers . The oil covered the Mississippi River from St. Paul to Lake Pepin , creating an ecological disaster and a demand to control water pollution . On October 20 , 1976 , the automobile ferry , MV George Prince , was struck by a ship traveling upstream as the ferry attempted to cross from Destrehan , Louisiana , to Luling , Louisiana . Seventy - eight passengers and crew died ; only eighteen survived the accident . In 1988 , the water level of the Mississippi fell to 10 feet ( 3.0 m ) below zero on the Memphis gauge . The remains of wooden - hulled water craft were exposed in an area of 4.5 acres ( 18,000 m ) on the bottom of the Mississippi River at West Memphis , Arkansas . They dated to the late 19th to early 20th centuries . The State of Arkansas , the Arkansas Archeological Survey , and the Arkansas Archeological Society responded with a two - month data recovery effort . The fieldwork received national media attention as good news in the middle of a drought . The Great Flood of 1993 was another significant flood , primarily affecting the Mississippi above its confluence with the Ohio River at Cairo , Illinois . Two portions of the Mississippi were designated as American Heritage Rivers in 1997 : the lower portion around Louisiana and Tennessee , and the upper portion around Iowa , Illinois , Minnesota and Missouri . The Nature Conservancy 's project called `` America 's Rivershed Initiative '' announced a ' report card ' assessment of the entire basin in October 2015 and gave the grade of D+ . The assessment noted the aging navigation and flood control infrastructure along with multiple environmental problems . Campsite at the river in Arkansas In 2002 , Slovenian long - distance swimmer Martin Strel swam the entire length of the river , from Minnesota to Louisiana , over the course of 68 days . In 2005 , the Source to Sea Expedition paddled the Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers to benefit the Audubon Society 's Upper Mississippi River Campaign . Future ( edit ) Geologists believe that the lower Mississippi could take a new course to the Gulf . Either of two new routes -- through the Atchafalaya Basin or through Lake Pontchartrain -- might become the Mississippi 's main channel if flood - control structures are overtopped or heavily damaged during a severe flood . Failure of the Old River Control Structure , the Morganza Spillway , or nearby levees would likely re-route the main channel of the Mississippi through Louisiana 's Atchafalaya Basin and down the Atchafalaya River to reach the Gulf of Mexico south of Morgan City in southern Louisiana . This route provides a more direct path to the Gulf of Mexico than the present Mississippi River channel through Baton Rouge and New Orleans . While the risk of such a diversion is present during any major flood event , such a change has so far been prevented by active human intervention involving the construction , maintenance , and operation of various levees , spillways , and other control structures by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers . The Old River Control Structure complex . View is to the east - southeast , looking downriver on the Mississippi , with the three dams across channels of the Atchafalaya River to the right of the Mississippi . Concordia Parish , Louisiana is in the foreground , on the right , and Wilkinson County , Mississippi , is in the background , across the Mississippi on the left . The Old River Control Structure , between the present Mississippi River channel and the Atchafalaya Basin , sits at the normal water elevation and is ordinarily used to divert 30 % of the Mississippi 's flow to the Atchafalaya River . There is a steep drop here away from the Mississippi 's main channel into the Atchafalaya Basin . If this facility were to fail during a major flood , there is a strong concern the water would scour and erode the river bottom enough to capture the Mississippi 's main channel . The structure was nearly lost during the 1973 flood , but repairs and improvements were made after engineers studied the forces at play . In particular , the Corps of Engineers made many improvements and constructed additional facilities for routing water through the vicinity . These additional facilities give the Corps much more flexibility and potential flow capacity than they had in 1973 , which further reduces the risk of a catastrophic failure in this area during other major floods , such as that of 2011 . Because the Morganza Spillway is slightly higher and well back from the river , it is normally dry on both sides . Even if it failed at the crest during a severe flood , the flood waters would have to erode to normal water levels before the Mississippi could permanently jump channel at this location . During the 2011 floods , the Corps of Engineers opened the Morganza Spillway to 1 / 4 of its capacity to allow 150,000 ft / sec of water to flood the Morganza and Atchafalaya floodways and continue directly to the Gulf of Mexico , bypassing Baton Rouge and New Orleans . In addition to reducing the Mississippi River crest downstream , this diversion reduced the chances of a channel change by reducing stress on the other elements of the control system . Some geologists have noted that the possibility for course change into the Atchafalaya also exists in the area immediately north of the Old River Control Structure . Army Corps of Engineers geologist Fred Smith once stated , `` The Mississippi wants to go west . 1973 was a forty - year flood . The big one lies out there somewhere -- when the structures ca n't release all the floodwaters and the levee is going to have to give way . That is when the river 's going to jump its banks and try to break through . '' Another possible course change for the Mississippi River is a diversion into Lake Pontchartrain near New Orleans . This route is controlled by the Bonnet Carré Spillway , built to reduce flooding in New Orleans . This spillway and an imperfect natural levee about 4 -- 6 meters ( 12 to 20 feet ) high are all that prevents the Mississippi from taking a new , shorter course through Lake Pontchartrain to the Gulf of Mexico . Diversion of the Mississippi 's main channel through Lake Pontchartrain would have consequences similar to an Atchafalaya diversion , but to a lesser extent , since the present river channel would remain in use past Baton Rouge and into the New Orleans area . Recreation ( edit ) Great River Road in Wisconsin near Lake Pepin ( 2005 ) The sport of water skiing was invented on the river in a wide region between Minnesota and Wisconsin known as Lake Pepin . Ralph Samuelson of Lake City , Minnesota , created and refined his skiing technique in late June and early July 1922 . He later performed the first water ski jump in 1925 and was pulled along at 80 mph ( 130 km / h ) by a Curtiss flying boat later that year . There are seven National Park Service sites along the Mississippi River . The Mississippi National River and Recreation Area is the National Park Service site dedicated to protecting and interpreting the Mississippi River itself . The other six National Park Service sites along the river are ( listed from north to south ) : Effigy Mounds National Monument Jefferson National Expansion Memorial ( includes Gateway Arch ) Vicksburg National Military Park Natchez National Historical Park New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve Ecology ( edit ) The American paddlefish is an ancient relict from the Mississippi The Mississippi basin is home to a highly diverse aquatic fauna and has been called the `` mother fauna '' of North American fresh water . Fish ( edit ) About 375 fish species are known from the Mississippi basin , far exceeding other North Hemisphere river basin exclusively within temperate / subtropical regions , except the Yangtze . Within the Mississippi basin , streams that have their source in the Appalachian and Ozark highlands contain especially many species . Among the fish species in the basin are numerous endemics , as well as relicts such as paddlefish , sturgeon , gar and bowfin . Because of its size and high species diversity , the Mississippi basin is often divided into subregions . The Upper Mississippi River alone is home to about 120 fish species , including walleye , sauger , large mouth bass , small mouth bass , white bass , northern pike , bluegill , crappie , channel catfish , flathead catfish , common shiner , freshwater drum and shovelnose sturgeon . Other fauna ( edit ) In addition to fish , several species of turtles ( such as snapping , musk , mud , map , cooter , painted and softshell turtles ) , American alligator , aquatic amphibians ( such as hellbender , mudpuppy , three - toed amphiuma and lesser siren ) , and cambarid crayfish ( such as the red swamp crayfish ) are native to the Mississippi basin . Introduced species ( edit ) Numerous introduced species are found in the Mississippi and some of these are invasive . Among the introductions are fish such as Asian carp , including the silver carp that have become infamous for outcompeting native fish and their potentially dangerous jumping behavior . They have spread throughout much of the basin , even approaching ( but not yet invading ) the Great Lakes . The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has designated much of the Mississippi River in the state as infested waters by the exotic species zebra mussels and Eurasian watermilfoil . Cultural references ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( October 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Literature ( edit ) William Faulkner uses the Mississippi River and Delta as the setting for many hunts throughout his novels . It has been proposed that in Faulkner 's famous story , The Bear , young Ike first begins his transformation into a man , thus relinquishing his birthright to land in Yoknapatawpha County through his realizations found within the woods surrounding the Mississippi River . Many of the works of Mark Twain deal with or take place near the Mississippi River . One of his first major works , Life on the Mississippi , is in part a history of the river , in part a memoir of Twain 's experiences on the river , and a collection of tales that either take place on or are associated with the river . The river was noted for the number of bandits which called its islands and shores home , including John Murrell who was a well - known murderer , horse stealer and slave `` re-trader '' . His notoriety was such that author Twain devoted an entire chapter to him in Life on the Mississippi , and Murrell was rumored to have an island headquarters on the river at Island 37 . Twain 's most famous work , Adventures of Huckleberry Finn , is largely a journey down the river . The novel works as an episodic meditation on American culture with the river having multiple different meanings including independence , escape , freedom , and adventure . Herman Melville 's novel The Confidence - Man portrayed a Canterbury Tales - style group of steamboat passengers whose interlocking stories are told as they travel down the Mississippi River . The novel is written both as cultural satire and a metaphysical treatise . Like Huckleberry Finn , it uses the Mississippi River as a metaphor for the larger aspects of American and human identity that unify the otherwise disparate characters . The river 's fluidity is reflected by the often shifting personalities and identities of Melville 's `` confidence man '' . Much of Edna Ferber 's 1926 novel Show Boat takes place on the Mississippi River . The novel is the basis for the celebrated 1927 musical play by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II . Music ( edit ) On The Mississippi , music sheet cover for a 1912 song The song `` When the Levee Breaks '' , made famous in the version performed by Led Zeppelin on the album Led Zeppelin IV , was composed by Memphis Minnie McCoy in 1929 after the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 . Another song about the flood was `` Louisiana 1927 '' by Randy Newman for the album Good Old Boys . Ferde Grofé composed a set of movements for symphony orchestra entitled `` Mississippi Suite '' , based on the lands the river travels through . The stage and movie musical Show Boat 's central musical piece is the spiritual - influenced ballad `` Ol ' Man River '' . Its composer , Jerome Kern , also composed an orchestral piece entitled `` Mark Twain Suite '' . The musical Big River is based on the travels of Huckleberry Finn down the river . The Johnny Cash song `` Big River '' is about the Mississippi River , and about drifting the length of the river to pursue a relationship that fails . The places mentioned in the song are Saint Paul , Davenport , St. Louis , Memphis , Baton Rouge and New Orleans . `` Louisiana 1927 '' is a 1974 song written and recorded by Randy Newman on the album Good Old Boys . It tells the story of the Great Mississippi River Flood of 1927 which left 700,000 people homeless in Louisiana and Mississippi . Illinois - born singer Lissie has a song called Oh Mississippi dedicated to the river . `` Roll On Mississippi '' and `` Mississippi Cotton Picking Delta Town '' are two classics from Charley Pride that refer to the Mississippi River . The late Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn collaborated on the song `` Louisiana Woman , Mississippi Man '' . Paul Simon mentions the river and the Mississippi Delta in his song `` Graceland '' .

where does the mississippi river empty into the ocean
[ "The Mississippi River has the world's fourth-largest drainage basin (\"watershed\" or \"catchment\"). The basin covers more than 1,245,000 square miles (3,220,000 km2), including all or parts of 31[28] U.S. states and two Canadian provinces. The drainage basin empties into the Gulf of Mexico, part of the Atlantic Ocean. The total catchment of the Mississippi River covers nearly 40% of the landmass of the continental United States. The highest point within the watershed is also the highest point of the Rocky Mountains, Mount Elbert at 14,440 feet (4,400 m).[29]" ]

Constitution of Missouri
Constitution of Missouri - wikipedia Constitution of Missouri The Missouri Constitution is the state constitution of the U.S. State of Missouri . It is the supreme law formulating the law and government of Missouri , subject only to the federal Constitution , and the people . The fourth and current Missouri Constitution was adopted in 1945 . It provides for three branches of government : legislative ( the Missouri General Assembly ) , executive ( the Governor of Missouri ) , and judicial ( the Supreme Court of Missouri ) . It also sets up local governments in the form of counties and cities . Contents 1 History 2 Articles 2.1 Articles of the Constitution 2.1. 1 Article I : Bill of Rights 2.1. 2 Remaining Articles 3 See also 4 External links 5 References History ( edit ) The first constitution was written in 1820 in only 38 days . The Missouri Constitutional Convention ( 1861 - 63 ) was elected to decide on secession , and made no changes to the constitution . In 1865 , after the American Civil War , and again in 1875 , after reconstruction , new constitutional conventions composed Missouri 's second and third constitutions . In the early 1900s , the Constitution of 1875 was amended to allow constitutional amendment by the initiative process . In the early 20th century , Missouri was dominated by corrupt political `` bosses '' , such as Tom Pendergast of Kansas City . In reaction to this , reformers used the initiative to call for a constitutional convention , and the initiative was passed by the voters in 1942 . The voters ratified the new constitution in 1945 . Voters rejected calls for a constitutional convention in 1962 and 1982 , and the Constitution of 1945 remains Missouri 's current constitution . Since 1945 , there have been more than 60 amendments to the Constitution . In recent years , some of these have been both controversial and high - profile , such as legalizing commercial gambling in 1993 , Missouri Constitutional Amendment 2 ( 2006 ) ( allowing the production of human embryos for stem cell research ) , Missouri Constitutional Amendment 2 ( 2004 ) ( an amendment prohibiting same - sex marriage ) , and an English - only amendment in 2008 . Articles ( edit ) Articles of the constitution ( edit ) The remainder of the constitution consists of thirteen articles . Article I : bill of rights ( edit ) Article I enumerates the rights of all citizens of the State of Missouri . These include that all political power is vested in and derived from the people , to alter and abolish their constitution and form of government whenever they may deem it necessary to their safety and happiness , the inherent rights `` all persons have a natural right to life , liberty , the pursuit of happiness and the enjoyment of the gains of their own industry , '' the definition of treason , the right to trial by jury , and that marriage in the State of Missouri is defined as being between a man and a woman . Remaining Articles ( edit ) Article II - The Distribution of Powers Article III - Legislative Department Article IV - Executive Department Article V - Judicial Department Article VI - Local Government Article VII - Public Officers Article VIII - Suffrage and Elections Article IX - Education Article X - Taxation Article XI - Corporations Article XII - Amending the Constitution Article XIII - Public Employees See also ( edit ) Law and government of Missouri Missouri General Assembly Governor of Missouri Supreme Court of Missouri External links ( edit ) Missouri Constitution on the Internet Missouri Constitution in PDF Form The State of Missouri Website References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Chief Justice Michael A.

Mass–energy equivalence

Similarly , anything having energy exhibits a corresponding mass m given by its energy E divided by the speed of light squared c2 . Because the speed of light is a very large number in everyday units , the formula implies that even an everyday object at rest with a modest amount of mass has a very large amount of energy intrinsically . Chemical , nuclear , and other energy transformations may cause a system to lose some of its energy content ( and thus some corresponding mass ) , releasing it as the radiant energy of light or as thermal energy for example . Mass -- energy equivalence arose originally from special relativity as a paradox described by Henri Poincaré . Einstein proposed it on 21 November 1905 , in the paper Does the inertia of a body depend upon its energy - content ? , one of his Annus Mirabilis ( Miraculous Year ) papers . Einstein was the first to propose that the equivalence of mass and energy is a general principle and a consequence of the symmetries of space and time . A consequence of the mass -- energy equivalence is that if a body is stationary , it still has some internal or intrinsic energy , called its rest energy , corresponding to its rest mass . When the body is in motion , its total energy is greater than its rest energy , and equivalently its total mass ( also called relativistic mass in this context ) is greater than its rest mass . This rest mass is also called the intrinsic or invariant mass because it remains the same regardless of this motion , even for the extreme speeds or gravity considered in special and general relativity . The mass -- energy formula also serves to convert units of mass to units of energy ( and vice versa ) , no matter what system of measurement units is used . Contents 1 Nomenclature 2 Conservation of mass and energy 2.1 Fast - moving objects and systems of objects 3 Applicability of the strict formula 4 Meanings of the strict formula 4.1 Binding energy and the `` mass defect '' 4.2 Massless particles 4.3 Massless particles contribute rest mass and invariant mass to systems 4.4 Relation to gravity 5 Application to nuclear physics 6 Practical examples 7 Efficiency 8 Background 8.1 Mass -- velocity relationship 8.2 Relativistic mass 8.3 Low speed expansion 9 History 9.1 Newton : matter and light 9.2 Swedenborg : matter composed of `` pure and total motion '' 9.3 Electromagnetic mass 9.4 Radiation pressure and inertia 9.5 Einstein : mass -- energy equivalence 9.5. 1 The first derivation by Einstein ( 1905 ) 9.5. 2 Alternative version 9.5. 3 Relativistic center - of - mass theorem ( 1906 ) 9.6 Others 9.7 Radioactivity and nuclear energy 10 See also 11 References 12 External links Nomenclature ( edit ) The formula was initially written in many different notations , and its interpretation and justification was further developed in several steps . In `` Does the inertia of a body depend upon its energy content ? '' ( 1905 ) , Einstein used V to mean the speed of light in a vacuum and L to mean the energy lost by a body in the form of radiation . Consequently , the equation E = mc was not originally written as a formula but as a sentence in German saying that if a body gives off the energy L in the form of radiation , its mass diminishes by L / V. A remark placed above it informed that the equation was approximated by neglecting `` magnitudes of fourth and higher orders '' of a series expansion . In May 1907 , Einstein explained that the expression for energy ε of a moving mass point assumes the simplest form , when its expression for the state of rest is chosen to be ε = μV ( where μ is the mass ) , which is in agreement with the `` principle of the equivalence of mass and energy '' . In addition , Einstein used the formula μ = E / V , with E being the energy of a system of mass points , to describe the energy and mass increase of that system when the velocity of the differently moving mass points is increased . In June 1907 , Max Planck rewrote Einstein 's mass -- energy relationship as M = E + pV / c , where p is the pressure and V the volume to express the relation between mass , its latent energy , and thermodynamic energy within the body . Subsequently , in October 1907 , this was rewritten as M = E / c and given a quantum interpretation by Johannes Stark , who assumed its validity and correctness ( Gültigkeit ) . In December 1907 , Einstein expressed the equivalence in the form M = μ + E / c and concluded : A mass μ is equivalent , as regards inertia , to a quantity of energy μc . ( ... ) It appears far more natural to consider every inertial mass as a store of energy . In 1909 , Gilbert N. Lewis and Richard C. Tolman used two variations of the formula : m = E / c and m = E / c , with E being the relativistic energy ( the energy of an object when the object is moving ) , E is the rest energy ( the energy when not moving ) , m is the relativistic mass ( the rest mass and the extra mass gained when moving ) , and m is the rest mass ( the mass when not moving ) . The same relations in different notation were used by Hendrik Lorentz in 1913 ( published 1914 ) , though he placed the energy on the left - hand side : ε = Mc and ε = mc , with ε being the total energy ( rest energy plus kinetic energy ) of a moving material point , ε its rest energy , M the relativistic mass , and m the invariant ( or rest ) mass . In 1911 , Max von Laue gave a more comprehensive proof of M = E / c from the stress -- energy tensor , which was later ( 1918 ) generalized by Felix Klein . Einstein returned to the topic once again after World War II and this time he wrote E = mc in the title of his article intended as an explanation for a general reader by analogy . Conservation of mass and energy ( edit ) Main articles : Conservation of energy and Conservation of mass Mass and energy can be seen as two names ( and two measurement units ) for the same underlying , conserved physical quantity . Thus , the laws of conservation of energy and conservation of ( total ) mass are equivalent and both hold true . Einstein elaborated in a 1946 essay that `` the principle of the conservation of mass ( ... ) proved inadequate in the face of the special theory of relativity . It was therefore merged with the energy conservation principle -- just as , about 60 years before , the principle of the conservation of mechanical energy had been combined with the principle of the conservation of heat ( thermal energy ) . We might say that the principle of the conservation of energy , having previously swallowed up that of the conservation of heat , now proceeded to swallow that of the conservation of mass -- and holds the field alone . '' If the conservation of mass law is interpreted as conservation of rest mass , it does not hold true in special relativity . The rest energy ( equivalently , rest mass ) of a particle can be converted , not `` to energy '' ( it already is energy ( mass ) ) , but rather to other forms of energy ( mass ) that require motion , such as kinetic energy , thermal energy , or radiant energy . Similarly , kinetic or radiant energy can be converted to other kinds of particles that have rest energy ( rest mass ) . In the transformation process , neither the total amount of mass nor the total amount of energy changes , since both properties are connected via a simple constant . This view requires that if either energy or ( total ) mass disappears from a system , it is always found that both have simply moved to another place , where they are both measurable as an increase of both energy and mass that corresponds to the loss in the first system . Fast - moving objects and systems of objects ( edit ) When an object is pushed in the direction of motion , it gains momentum and energy , but when the object is already traveling near the speed of light , it can not move much faster , no matter how much energy it absorbs . Its momentum and energy continue to increase without bounds , whereas its speed approaches ( but never reaches ) a constant value -- the speed of light . This implies that in relativity the momentum of an object can not be a constant times the velocity , nor can the kinetic energy be a constant times the square of the velocity . A property called the relativistic mass is defined as the ratio of the momentum of an object to its velocity . Relativistic mass depends on the motion of the object , so that different observers in relative motion see different values for it . If the object is moving slowly , the relativistic mass is nearly equal to the rest mass and both are nearly equal to the usual Newtonian mass . If the object is moving quickly , the relativistic mass is greater than the rest mass by an amount equal to the mass associated with the kinetic energy of the object . As the object approaches the speed of light , the relativistic mass grows infinitely , because the kinetic energy grows infinitely and this energy is associated with mass . The relativistic mass is always equal to the total energy ( rest energy plus kinetic energy ) divided by c . Because the relativistic mass is exactly proportional to the energy , relativistic mass and relativistic energy are nearly synonyms ; the only difference between them is the units . If length and time are measured in natural units , the speed of light is equal to 1 , and even this difference disappears . Then mass and energy have the same units and are always equal , so it is redundant to speak about relativistic mass , because it is just another name for the energy . This is why physicists usually reserve the useful short word `` mass '' to mean rest mass , or invariant mass , and not relativistic mass . The relativistic mass of a moving object is larger than the relativistic mass of an object that is not moving , because a moving object has extra kinetic energy . The rest mass of an object is defined as the mass of an object when it is at rest , so that the rest mass is always the same , independent of the motion of the observer : it is the same in all inertial frames . For things and systems made up of many parts , like an atomic nucleus , planet , or star , the relativistic mass is the sum of the relativistic masses ( or energies ) of the parts , because energies are additive in isolated systems . This is not true in open systems , however , if energy is subtracted . For example , if a system is bound by attractive forces , and the energy gained due to the forces of attraction in excess of the work done is removed from the system , then mass is lost with this removed energy . For example , the mass of an atomic nucleus is less than the total mass of the protons and neutrons that make it up , but this is only true after this energy from binding has been removed in the form of a gamma ray ( which in this system , carries away the mass of the energy of binding ) . This mass decrease is also equivalent to the energy required to break up the nucleus into individual protons and neutrons ( in this case , work and mass would need to be supplied ) . Similarly , the mass of the solar system is slightly less than the sum of the individual masses of the sun and planets . For a system of particles going off in different directions , the invariant mass of the system is the analog of the rest mass , and is the same for all observers , even those in relative motion . It is defined as the total energy ( divided by c ) in the center of mass frame ( where by definition , the system total momentum is zero ) . A simple example of an object with moving parts but zero total momentum is a container of gas . In this case , the mass of the container is given by its total energy ( including the kinetic energy of the gas molecules ) , since the system total energy and invariant mass are the same in any reference frame where the momentum is zero , and such a reference frame is also the only frame in which the object can be weighed . In a similar way , the theory of special relativity posits that the thermal energy in all objects ( including solids ) contributes to their total masses and weights , even though this energy is present as the kinetic and potential energies of the atoms in the object , and it ( in a similar way to the gas ) is not seen in the rest masses of the atoms that make up the object . In a similar manner , even photons ( light quanta ) , if trapped in a container space ( as a photon gas or thermal radiation ) , would contribute a mass associated with their energy to the container . Such an extra mass , in theory , could be weighed in the same way as any other type of rest mass . This is true in special relativity theory , even though individually photons have no rest mass . The property that trapped energy in any form adds weighable mass to systems that have no net momentum is one of the characteristic and notable consequences of relativity . It has no counterpart in classical Newtonian physics , in which radiation , light , heat , and kinetic energy never exhibit weighable mass under any circumstances . Just as the relativistic mass of an isolated system is conserved through time , so also is its invariant mass. This property allows the conservation of all types of mass in systems , and also conservation of all types of mass in reactions where matter is destroyed ( annihilated ) , leaving behind the energy that was associated with it ( which is now in non-material form , rather than material form ) . Matter may appear and disappear in various reactions , but mass and energy are both unchanged in this process . Applicability of the strict formula ( edit ) As is noted above , two different definitions of mass have been used in special relativity , and also two different definitions of energy . The simple equation E = m c 2 ( \ displaystyle E = mc ^ ( 2 ) ) is not generally applicable to all these types of mass and energy , except in the special case that the total additive momentum is zero for the system under consideration . In such a case , which is always guaranteed when observing the system from either its center of mass frame or its center of momentum frame , E = m c 2 ( \ displaystyle E = mc ^ ( 2 ) ) is always true for any type of mass and energy that are chosen . Thus , for example , in the center of mass frame , the total energy of an object or system is equal to its rest mass times c 2 ( \ displaystyle c ^ ( 2 ) ) , a useful equality . This is the relationship used for the container of gas in the previous example . It is not true in other reference frames where the center of mass is in motion . In these systems or for such an object , its total energy depends on both its rest ( or invariant ) mass , and its ( total ) momentum . In inertial reference frames other than the rest frame or center of mass frame , the equation E = m c 2 ( \ displaystyle E = mc ^ ( 2 ) ) remains true if the energy is the relativistic energy and the mass is the relativistic mass . It is also correct if the energy is the rest or invariant energy ( also the minimum energy ) , and the mass is the rest mass , or the invariant mass . However , connection of the total or relativistic energy ( E r ( \ displaystyle E_ ( r ) ) ) with the rest or invariant mass ( m 0 ( \ displaystyle m_ ( 0 ) ) ) requires consideration of the system total momentum , in systems and reference frames where the total momentum ( of magnitude p ) has a non-zero value . The formula then required to connect the two different kinds of mass and energy , is the extended version of Einstein 's equation , called the relativistic energy -- momentum relation : E r 2 − p → 2 c 2 = m 0 2 c 4 E r 2 − ( p c ) 2 = ( m 0 c 2 ) 2 ( \ displaystyle ( \ begin ( aligned ) E_ ( r ) ^ ( 2 ) - ( \ vec ( p ) ) \ , ^ ( 2 ) c ^ ( 2 ) & = m_ ( 0 ) ^ ( 2 ) c ^ ( 4 ) \ \ E_ ( r ) ^ ( 2 ) - ( pc ) ^ ( 2 ) & = ( m_ ( 0 ) c ^ ( 2 ) ) ^ ( 2 ) \ end ( aligned ) ) ) or E r = ( m 0 c 2 ) 2 + ( p c ) 2 ( \ displaystyle E_ ( r ) = ( \ sqrt ( ( m_ ( 0 ) c ^ ( 2 ) ) ^ ( 2 ) + ( pc ) ^ ( 2 ) ) ) \ , \ ! ) Here the ( p c ) 2 ( \ displaystyle ( pc ) ^ ( 2 ) ) term represents the square of the Euclidean norm ( total vector length ) of the various momentum vectors in the system , which reduces to the square of the simple momentum magnitude , if only a single particle is considered . This equation reduces to E = m c 2 ( \ displaystyle E = mc ^ ( 2 ) ) when the momentum term is zero . For photons where m 0 = 0 ( \ displaystyle m_ ( 0 ) = 0 ) , the equation reduces to E r = p c ( \ displaystyle E_ ( r ) = pc ) . Meanings of the strict formula ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( February 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The mass -- energy equivalence formula was displayed on Taipei 101 during the event of the World Year of Physics 2005 . Mass -- energy equivalence states that any object has a certain energy , even when it is stationary . In Newtonian mechanics , a motionless body has no kinetic energy , and it may or may not have other amounts of internal stored energy , like chemical energy or thermal energy , in addition to any potential energy it may have from its position in a field of force . In Newtonian mechanics , all of these energies are much smaller than the mass of the object times the speed of light squared . In relativity , all the energy that moves with an object ( that is , all the energy present in the object 's rest frame ) contributes to the total mass of the body , which measures how much it resists acceleration . Each bit of potential and kinetic energy makes a proportional contribution to the mass . As noted above , even if a box of ideal mirrors `` contains '' light , then the individually massless photons still contribute to the total mass of the box , by the amount of their energy divided by c . In relativity , removing energy is removing mass , and for an observer in the center of mass frame , the formula m = E / c indicates how much mass is lost when energy is removed . In a nuclear reaction , the mass of the atoms that come out is less than the mass of the atoms that go in , and the difference in mass shows up as heat and light with the same relativistic mass as the difference ( and also the same invariant mass in the center of mass frame of the system ) . In this case , the E in the formula is the energy released and removed , and the mass m is how much the mass decreases . In the same way , when any sort of energy is added to an isolated system , the increase in the mass is equal to the added energy divided by c . For example , when water is heated it gains about 6983111000000000000 ♠ 1.11 × 10 kg of mass for every joule of heat added to the water . An object moves with different speed in different frames , depending on the motion of the observer , so the kinetic energy in both Newtonian mechanics and relativity is frame dependent . This means that the amount of relativistic energy , and therefore the amount of relativistic mass , that an object is measured to have depends on the observer . The rest mass is defined as the mass that an object has when it is not moving ( or when an inertial frame is chosen such that it is not moving ) . The term also applies to the invariant mass of systems when the system as a whole is not `` moving '' ( has no net momentum ) . The rest and invariant masses are the smallest possible value of the mass of the object or system . They also are conserved quantities , so long as the system is isolated . Because of the way they are calculated , the effects of moving observers are subtracted , so these quantities do not change with the motion of the observer . The rest mass is almost never additive : the rest mass of an object is not the sum of the rest masses of its parts . The rest mass of an object is the total energy of all the parts , including kinetic energy , as measured by an observer that sees the center of the mass of the object to be standing still . The rest mass adds up only if the parts are standing still and do not attract or repel , so that they do not have any extra kinetic or potential energy . The other possibility is that they have a positive kinetic energy and a negative potential energy that exactly cancels . Binding energy and the `` mass defect '' ( edit ) Main article : binding energy This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Whenever any type of energy is removed from a system , the mass associated with the energy is also removed , and the system therefore loses mass . This mass defect in the system may be simply calculated as Δm = ΔE / c , and this was the form of the equation historically first presented by Einstein in 1905 . However , use of this formula in such circumstances has led to the false idea that mass has been `` converted '' to energy . This may be particularly the case when the energy ( and mass ) removed from the system is associated with the binding energy of the system . In such cases , the binding energy is observed as a `` mass defect '' or deficit in the new system . The fact that the released energy is not easily weighed in many such cases , may cause its mass to be neglected as though it no longer existed . This circumstance has encouraged the false idea of conversion of mass to energy , rather than the correct idea that the binding energy of such systems is relatively large , and exhibits a measurable mass , which is removed when the binding energy is removed. . The difference between the rest mass of a bound system and of the unbound parts is the binding energy of the system , if this energy has been removed after binding . For example , a water molecule weighs a little less than two free hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom . The minuscule mass difference is the energy needed to split the molecule into three individual atoms ( divided by c ) , which was given off as heat when the molecule formed ( this heat had mass ) . Likewise , a stick of dynamite in theory weighs a little bit more than the fragments after the explosion , but this is true only so long as the fragments are cooled and the heat removed . In this case the mass difference is the energy / heat that is released when the dynamite explodes , and when this heat escapes , the mass associated with it escapes , only to be deposited in the surroundings , which absorb the heat ( so that total mass is conserved ) . Such a change in mass may only happen when the system is open , and the energy and mass escapes . Thus , if a stick of dynamite is blown up in a hermetically sealed chamber , the mass of the chamber and fragments , the heat , sound , and light would still be equal to the original mass of the chamber and dynamite . If sitting on a scale , the weight and mass would not change . This would in theory also happen even with a nuclear bomb , if it could be kept in an ideal box of infinite strength , which did not rupture or pass radiation . Thus , a 21.5 kiloton ( 7013900000000000000 ♠ 9 × 10 joule ) nuclear bomb produces about one gram of heat and electromagnetic radiation , but the mass of this energy would not be detectable in an exploded bomb in an ideal box sitting on a scale ; instead , the contents of the box would be heated to millions of degrees without changing total mass and weight . If then , however , a transparent window ( passing only electromagnetic radiation ) were opened in such an ideal box after the explosion , and a beam of X-rays and other lower - energy light allowed to escape the box , it would eventually be found to weigh one gram less than it had before the explosion . This weight loss and mass loss would happen as the box was cooled by this process , to room temperature . However , any surrounding mass that absorbed the X-rays ( and other `` heat '' ) would gain this gram of mass from the resulting heating , so the mass `` loss '' would represent merely its relocation . Thus , no mass ( or , in the case of a nuclear bomb , no matter ) would be `` converted '' to energy in such a process . Mass and energy , as always , would both be separately conserved . Massless particles ( edit ) Massless particles have zero rest mass . Their relativistic mass is simply their relativistic energy , divided by c , or m = E / c . The energy for photons is E = hf , where h is Planck 's constant and f is the photon frequency . This frequency and thus the relativistic energy are frame - dependent . If an observer runs away from a photon in the direction the photon travels from a source , and it catches up with the observer -- when the photon catches up , the observer sees it as having less energy than it had at the source . The faster the observer is traveling with regard to the source when the photon catches up , the less energy the photon has . As an observer approaches the speed of light with regard to the source , the photon looks redder and redder , by relativistic Doppler effect ( the Doppler shift is the relativistic formula ) , and the energy of a very long - wavelength photon approaches zero . This is because the photon is massless -- the rest mass of a photon is zero . Massless particles contribute rest mass and invariant mass to systems ( edit ) Two photons moving in different directions can not both be made to have arbitrarily small total energy by changing frames , or by moving toward or away from them . The reason is that in a two - photon system , the energy of one photon is decreased by chasing after it , but the energy of the other increases with the same shift in observer motion . Two photons not moving in the same direction comprise an inertial frame where the combined energy is smallest , but not zero . This is called the center of mass frame or the center of momentum frame ; these terms are almost synonyms ( the center of mass frame is the special case of a center of momentum frame where the center of mass is put at the origin ) . The most that chasing a pair of photons can accomplish to decrease their energy is to put the observer in a frame where the photons have equal energy and are moving directly away from each other . In this frame , the observer is now moving in the same direction and speed as the center of mass of the two photons . The total momentum of the photons is now zero , since their momenta are equal and opposite . In this frame the two photons , as a system , have a mass equal to their total energy divided by c . This mass is called the invariant mass of the pair of photons together . It is the smallest mass and energy the system may be seen to have , by any observer . It is only the invariant mass of a two - photon system that can be used to make a single particle with the same rest mass . If the photons are formed by the collision of a particle and an antiparticle , the invariant mass is the same as the total energy of the particle and antiparticle ( their rest energy plus the kinetic energy ) , in the center of mass frame , where they automatically move in equal and opposite directions ( since they have equal momentum in this frame ) . If the photons are formed by the disintegration of a single particle with a well - defined rest mass , like the neutral pion , the invariant mass of the photons is equal to rest mass of the pion . In this case , the center of mass frame for the pion is just the frame where the pion is at rest , and the center of mass does not change after it disintegrates into two photons . After the two photons are formed , their center of mass is still moving the same way the pion did , and their total energy in this frame adds up to the mass energy of the pion . Thus , by calculating the invariant mass of pairs of photons in a particle detector , pairs can be identified that were probably produced by pion disintegration . A similar calculation illustrates that the invariant mass of systems is conserved , even when massive particles ( particles with rest mass ) within the system are converted to massless particles ( such as photons ) . In such cases , the photons contribute invariant mass to the system , even though they individually have no invariant mass or rest mass . Thus , an electron and positron ( each of which has rest mass ) may undergo annihilation with each other to produce two photons , each of which is massless ( has no rest mass ) . However , in such circumstances , no system mass is lost . Instead , the system of both photons moving away from each other has an invariant mass , which acts like a rest mass for any system in which the photons are trapped , or that can be weighed . Thus , not only the quantity of relativistic mass , but also the quantity of invariant mass does not change in transformations between `` matter '' ( electrons and positrons ) and energy ( photons ) . Relation to gravity ( edit ) In physics , there are two distinct concepts of mass : the gravitational mass and the inertial mass . The gravitational mass is the quantity that determines the strength of the gravitational field generated by an object , as well as the gravitational force acting on the object when it is immersed in a gravitational field produced by other bodies . The inertial mass , on the other hand , quantifies how much an object accelerates if a given force is applied to it . The mass -- energy equivalence in special relativity refers to the inertial mass . However , already in the context of Newton gravity , the Weak Equivalence Principle is postulated : the gravitational and the inertial mass of every object are the same . Thus , the mass -- energy equivalence , combined with the Weak Equivalence Principle , results in the prediction that all forms of energy contribute to the gravitational field generated by an object . This observation is one of the pillars of the general theory of relativity . The above prediction , that all forms of energy interact gravitationally , has been subject to experimental tests . The first observation testing this prediction was made in 1919 . During a solar eclipse , Arthur Eddington observed that the light from stars passing close to the Sun was bent . The effect is due to the gravitational attraction of light by the Sun . The observation confirmed that the energy carried by light indeed is equivalent to a gravitational mass . Another seminal experiment , the Pound -- Rebka experiment , was performed in 1960 . In this test a beam of light was emitted from the top of a tower and detected at the bottom . The frequency of the light detected was higher than the light emitted . This result confirms that the energy of photons increases when they fall in the gravitational field of the Earth . The energy , and therefore the gravitational mass , of photons is proportional to their frequency as stated by the Planck 's relation . Application to nuclear Physics ( edit ) Task Force One , the world 's first nuclear - powered task force . Enterprise , Long Beach and Bainbridge in formation in the Mediterranean , 18 June 1964 . Enterprise crew members are spelling out Einstein 's mass -- energy equivalence formula E = mc on the flight deck . Max Planck pointed out that the mass -- energy equivalence formula implied that bound systems would have a mass less than the sum of their constituents , once the binding energy had been allowed to escape . However , Planck was thinking about chemical reactions , where the binding energy is too small to measure . Einstein suggested that radioactive materials such as radium would provide a test of the theory , but even though a large amount of energy is released per atom in radium , due to the half - life of the substance ( 1602 years ) , only a small fraction of radium atoms decay over an experimentally measurable period of time . Once the nucleus was discovered , experimenters realized that the very high binding energies of the atomic nuclei should allow calculation of their binding energies , simply from mass differences . But it was not until the discovery of the neutron in 1932 , and the measurement of the neutron mass , that this calculation could actually be performed ( see nuclear binding energy for example calculation ) . A little while later , the Cockcroft -- Walton accelerator produced the first transmutation reaction ( Li + p → 2 He ) , verifying Einstein 's formula to an accuracy of ± 0.5 % . In 2005 , Rainville et al. published a direct test of the energy - equivalence of mass lost in the binding energy of a neutron to atoms of particular isotopes of silicon and sulfur , by comparing the mass lost to the energy of the emitted gamma ray associated with the neutron capture . The binding mass - loss agreed with the gamma ray energy to a precision of ± 0.00004 % , the most accurate test of E = mc to date . The mass -- energy equivalence formula was used in the understanding of nuclear fission reactions , and implies the great amount of energy that can be released by a nuclear fission chain reaction , used in both nuclear weapons and nuclear power . By measuring the mass of different atomic nuclei and subtracting from that number the total mass of the protons and neutrons as they would weigh separately , one gets the exact binding energy available in an atomic nucleus . This is used to calculate the energy released in any nuclear reaction , as the difference in the total mass of the nuclei that enter and exit the reaction . Practical examples ( edit ) Einstein used the CGS system of units ( centimeters , grams , seconds , dynes , and ergs ) , but the formula is independent of the system of units . In natural units , the numerical value of the speed of light is set to equal 1 , and the formula expresses an equality of numerical values : E = m . In the SI system ( expressing the ratio E / m in joules per kilogram using the value of c in meters per second ) : E / m = c = ( 7008299792458000000 ♠ 299 792 458 m / s ) = 7016898755178736817 ♠ 89 875 517 873 681 764 J / kg ( ≈ 9.0 × 10 joules per kilogram ) . So the energy equivalent of one kilogram of mass is 89.9 petajoules 25.0 billion kilowatt - hours ( ≈ 25,000 GW h ) 21.5 trillion kilocalories ( ≈ 21 Pcal ) 85.2 trillion BTUs 0.0852 quads or the energy released by combustion of the following : 21 500 kilotons of TNT - equivalent energy ( ≈ 21 Mt ) 7009263000000000000 ♠ 2630000000 litres or 7008695000000000000 ♠ 695 000 000 US gallons of automotive gasoline Any time energy is generated , the process can be evaluated from an E = mc perspective . For instance , the `` Gadget '' - style bomb used in the Trinity test and the bombing of Nagasaki had an explosive yield equivalent to 21 kt of TNT . About 1 kg of the approximately 6.15 kg of plutonium in each of these bombs fissioned into lighter elements totaling almost exactly one gram less , after cooling . The electromagnetic radiation and kinetic energy ( thermal and blast energy ) released in this explosion carried the missing one gram of mass . This occurs because nuclear binding energy is released whenever elements with more than 62 nucleons fission . Another example is hydroelectric generation . The electrical energy produced by Grand Coulee Dam 's turbines every 3.7 hours represents one gram of mass . This mass passes to electrical devices ( such as lights in cities ) powered by the generators , where it appears as a gram of heat and light . Turbine designers look at their equations in terms of pressure , torque , and RPM . However , Einstein 's equations show that all energy has mass , and thus the electrical energy produced by a dam 's generators , and the resulting heat and light , all retain their mass -- which is equivalent to the energy . The potential energy -- and equivalent mass -- represented by the waters of the Columbia River as it descends to the Pacific Ocean would be converted to heat due to viscous friction and the turbulence of white water rapids and waterfalls were it not for the dam and its generators . This heat would remain as mass on site at the water , were it not for the equipment that converted some of this potential and kinetic energy into electrical energy , which can move from place to place ( taking mass with it ) . Whenever energy is added to a system , the system gains mass , as shown when the equation is rearranged : A spring 's mass increases whenever it is put into compression or tension . Its added mass arises from the added potential energy stored within it , which is bound in the stretched chemical ( electron ) bonds linking the atoms within the spring . Raising the temperature of an object ( increasing its heat energy ) increases its mass . For example , consider the world 's primary mass standard for the kilogram , made of platinum / iridium . If its temperature is allowed to change by 1 ° C , its mass changes by 1.5 picograms ( 1 pg = 6985100000000000000 ♠ 1 × 10 g ) . A spinning ball weighs more than a ball that is not spinning . Its increase of mass is exactly the equivalent of the mass of energy of rotation , which is itself the sum of the kinetic energies of all the moving parts of the ball . For example , the Earth itself is more massive due to its daily rotation , than it would be with no rotation . This rotational energy ( 7029214000000000000 ♠ 2.14 × 10 J ) represents 2.38 billion metric tons of added mass . Note that no net mass or energy is really created or lost in any of these examples and scenarios . Mass / energy simply moves from one place to another . These are some examples of the transfer of energy and mass in accordance with the principle of mass -- energy conservation . Efficiency ( edit ) Although mass can not be converted to energy , in some reactions matter particles ( which contain a form of rest energy ) can be destroyed and the energy released can be converted to other types of energy that are more usable and obvious as forms of energy -- such as light and energy of motion ( heat , etc . ) . However , the total amount of energy and mass does not change in such a transformation . Even when particles are not destroyed , a certain fraction of the ill - defined `` matter '' in ordinary objects can be destroyed , and its associated energy liberated and made available as the more dramatic energies of light and heat , even though no identifiable real particles are destroyed , and even though ( again ) the total energy is unchanged ( as also the total mass ) . Such conversions between types of energy ( resting to active energy ) happen in nuclear weapons , in which the protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei lose a small fraction of their average mass , but this mass loss is not due to the destruction of any protons or neutrons ( or even , in general , lighter particles like electrons ) . Also the mass is not destroyed , but simply removed from the system in the form of heat and light from the reaction . In nuclear reactions , typically only a small fraction of the total mass -- energy of the bomb converts into the mass -- energy of heat , light , radiation , and motion -- which are `` active '' forms that can be used . When an atom fissions , it loses only about 0.1 % of its mass ( which escapes from the system and does not disappear ) , and additionally , in a bomb or reactor not all the atoms can fission . In a modern fission - based atomic bomb , the efficiency is only about 40 % , so only 40 % of the fissionable atoms actually fission , and only about 0.03 % of the fissile core mass appears as energy in the end . In nuclear fusion , more of the mass is released as usable energy , roughly 0.3 % . But in a fusion bomb , the bomb mass is partly casing and non-reacting components , so that in practicality , again ( coincidentally ) no more than about 0.03 % of the total mass of the entire weapon is released as usable energy ( which , again , retains the `` missing '' mass ) . See nuclear weapon yield for practical details of this ratio in modern nuclear weapons . In theory , it should be possible to destroy matter and convert all of the rest - energy associated with matter into heat and light ( which would of course have the same mass ) , but none of the theoretically known methods are practical . One way to convert all the energy within matter into usable energy is to annihilate matter with antimatter . But antimatter is rare in our universe , and must be made first . Due to inefficient mechanisms of production , making antimatter always requires far more usable energy than would be released when it was annihilated . Since most of the mass of ordinary objects resides in protons and neutrons , converting all the energy of ordinary matter into more useful energy requires that the protons and neutrons be converted to lighter particles , or particles with no rest - mass at all . In the Standard Model of particle physics , the number of protons plus neutrons is nearly exactly conserved . Still , Gerard ' t Hooft showed that there is a process that converts protons and neutrons to antielectrons and neutrinos . This is the weak SU ( 2 ) instanton proposed by Belavin Polyakov Schwarz and Tyupkin . This process , can in principle destroy matter and convert all the energy of matter into neutrinos and usable energy , but it is normally extraordinarily slow . Later it became clear that this process happens at a fast rate at very high temperatures , since then , instanton - like configurations are copiously produced from thermal fluctuations . The temperature required is so high that it would only have been reached shortly after the big bang . Many extensions of the standard model contain magnetic monopoles , and in some models of grand unification , these monopoles catalyze proton decay , a process known as the Callan - Rubakov effect . This process would be an efficient mass -- energy conversion at ordinary temperatures , but it requires making monopoles and anti-monopoles first . The energy required to produce monopoles is believed to be enormous , but magnetic charge is conserved , so that the lightest monopole is stable . All these properties are deduced in theoretical models -- magnetic monopoles have never been observed , nor have they been produced in any experiment so far . A third known method of total matter -- energy `` conversion '' ( which again in practice only means conversion of one type of energy into a different type of energy ) , is using gravity , specifically black holes . Stephen Hawking theorized that black holes radiate thermally with no regard to how they are formed . So , it is theoretically possible to throw matter into a black hole and use the emitted heat to generate power . According to the theory of Hawking radiation , however , the black hole used radiates at a higher rate the smaller it is , producing usable powers at only small black hole masses , where usable may for example be something greater than the local background radiation . It is also worth noting that the ambient irradiated power would change with the mass of the black hole , increasing as the mass of the black hole decreases , or decreasing as the mass increases , at a rate where power is proportional to the inverse square of the mass . In a `` practical '' scenario , mass and energy could be dumped into the black hole to regulate this growth , or keep its size , and thus power output , near constant . This could result from the fact that mass and energy are lost from the hole with its thermal radiation . Background ( edit ) Mass -- velocity relationship ( edit ) In developing special relativity , Einstein found that the kinetic energy of a moving body is E k = m 0 ( γ − 1 ) c 2 = m 0 c 2 1 − v 2 c 2 − m 0 c 2 , ( \ displaystyle E_ ( k ) = m_ ( 0 ) ( \ gamma - 1 ) c ^ ( 2 ) = ( \ frac ( m_ ( 0 ) c ^ ( 2 ) ) ( \ sqrt ( 1 - ( \ frac ( v ^ ( 2 ) ) ( c ^ ( 2 ) ) ) ) ) ) - m_ ( 0 ) c ^ ( 2 ) , ) with v the velocity , m the rest mass , and γ the Lorentz factor . He included the second term on the right to make sure that for small velocities the energy would be the same as in classical mechanics , thus satisfying the correspondence principle : E k = 1 2 m 0 v 2 + ⋯ ( \ displaystyle E_ ( k ) = ( \ frac ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ) m_ ( 0 ) v ^ ( 2 ) + \ cdots ) Without this second term , there would be an additional contribution in the energy when the particle is not moving . Einstein found that the total momentum of a moving particle is : P = m 0 v 1 − v 2 c 2 . ( \ displaystyle P = ( \ frac ( m_ ( 0 ) v ) ( \ sqrt ( 1 - ( \ frac ( v ^ ( 2 ) ) ( c ^ ( 2 ) ) ) ) ) ) . ) It is this quantity that is conserved in collisions . The ratio of the momentum to the velocity is the relativistic mass , m . m = m 0 1 − v 2 c 2 ( \ displaystyle m = ( \ frac ( m_ ( 0 ) ) ( \ sqrt ( 1 - ( \ frac ( v ^ ( 2 ) ) ( c ^ ( 2 ) ) ) ) ) ) ) And the relativistic mass and the relativistic kinetic energy are related by the formula : E k = m c 2 − m 0 c 2 . ( \ displaystyle E_ ( k ) = mc ^ ( 2 ) - m_ ( 0 ) c ^ ( 2 ). \ , ) Einstein wanted to omit the unnatural second term on the right - hand side , whose only purpose is to make the energy at rest zero , and to declare that the particle has a total energy , which obeys : E = m c 2 ( \ displaystyle E = mc ^ ( 2 ) \ , ) which is a sum of the rest energy m c and the kinetic energy . This total energy is mathematically more elegant , and fits better with the momentum in relativity . But to come to this conclusion , Einstein needed to think carefully about collisions . This expression for the energy implied that matter at rest has a huge amount of energy , and it is not clear whether this energy is physically real , or just a mathematical artifact with no physical meaning . In a collision process where all the rest - masses are the same at the beginning as at the end , either expression for the energy is conserved . The two expressions only differ by a constant that is the same at the beginning and at the end of the collision . Still , by analyzing the situation where particles are thrown off a heavy central particle , it is easy to see that the inertia of the central particle is reduced by the total energy emitted . This allowed Einstein to conclude that the inertia of a heavy particle is increased or diminished according to the energy it absorbs or emits . Relativistic mass ( edit ) Main article : Mass in special relativity After Einstein first made his proposal , it became clear that the word mass can have two different meanings . Some denote the relativistic mass with an explicit index : m r e l = m 0 1 − v 2 c 2 . ( \ displaystyle m_ ( \ mathrm ( rel ) ) = ( \ frac ( m_ ( 0 ) ) ( \ sqrt ( 1 - ( \ frac ( v ^ ( 2 ) ) ( c ^ ( 2 ) ) ) ) ) ) . ) This mass is the ratio of momentum to velocity , and it is also the relativistic energy divided by c ( it is not Lorentz - invariant , in contrast to m 0 ( \ displaystyle m_ ( 0 ) ) ) . The equation E = m c holds for moving objects . When the velocity is small , the relativistic mass and the rest mass are almost exactly the same . E = mc either means E = m c for an object at rest , or E = m c when the object is moving . Also Einstein ( following Hendrik Lorentz and Max Abraham ) used velocity - and direction - dependent mass concepts ( longitudinal and transverse mass ) in his 1905 electrodynamics paper and in another paper in 1906 . However , in his first paper on E = mc ( 1905 ) , he treated m as what would now be called the rest mass . Some claim that ( in later years ) he did not like the idea of `` relativistic mass '' . When modern physicists say `` mass '' , they are usually talking about rest mass , since if they meant `` relativistic mass '' , they would just say `` energy '' . Considerable debate has ensued over the use of the concept `` relativistic mass '' and the connection of `` mass '' in relativity to `` mass '' in Newtonian dynamics . For example , one view is that only rest mass is a viable concept and is a property of the particle ; while relativistic mass is a conglomeration of particle properties and properties of spacetime . A perspective that avoids this debate , due to Kjell Vøyenli , is that the Newtonian concept of mass as a particle property and the relativistic concept of mass have to be viewed as embedded in their own theories and as having no precise connection . Low speed expansion ( edit ) We can rewrite the expression E = γm c as a Taylor series : E = m 0 c 2 ( 1 + 1 2 ( v c ) 2 + 3 8 ( v c ) 4 + 5 16 ( v c ) 6 + ... ) . ( \ displaystyle E = m_ ( 0 ) c ^ ( 2 ) \ left ( 1 + ( \ frac ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ) \ left ( ( \ frac ( v ) ( c ) ) \ right ) ^ ( 2 ) + ( \ frac ( 3 ) ( 8 ) ) \ left ( ( \ frac ( v ) ( c ) ) \ right ) ^ ( 4 ) + ( \ frac ( 5 ) ( 16 ) ) \ left ( ( \ frac ( v ) ( c ) ) \ right ) ^ ( 6 ) + \ ldots \ right ) . ) For speeds much smaller than the speed of light , higher - order terms in this expression get smaller and smaller because v / c is small . For low speeds we can ignore all but the first two terms : E ≈ m 0 c 2 + 1 2 m 0 v 2 . ( \ displaystyle E \ approx m_ ( 0 ) c ^ ( 2 ) + ( \ frac ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ) m_ ( 0 ) v ^ ( 2 ) . ) The total energy is a sum of the rest energy and the Newtonian kinetic energy . The classical energy equation ignores both the m c part , and the high - speed corrections . This is appropriate , because all the high - order corrections are small . Since only changes in energy affect the behavior of objects , whether we include the m c part makes no difference , since it is constant . For the same reason , it is possible to subtract the rest energy from the total energy in relativity . By considering the emission of energy in different frames , Einstein could show that the rest energy has a real physical meaning . The higher - order terms are extra corrections to Newtonian mechanics , and become important at higher speeds . The Newtonian equation is only a low - speed approximation , but an extraordinarily good one . All of the calculations used in putting astronauts on the moon , for example , could have been done using Newton 's equations without any of the higher - order corrections . The total mass energy equivalence should also include the rotational and vibrational kinetic energies as well as the linear kinetic energy at low speeds . History ( edit ) While Einstein was the first to have correctly deduced the mass -- energy equivalence formula , he was not the first to have related energy with mass . But nearly all previous authors thought that the energy that contributes to mass comes only from electromagnetic fields . Newton : matter and light ( edit ) In 1717 Isaac Newton speculated that light particles and matter particles were interconvertible in `` Query 30 '' of the Opticks , where he asks : Are not the gross bodies and light convertible into one another , and may not bodies receive much of their activity from the particles of light which enter their composition ? Swedenborg : matter composed of `` pure and total motion '' ( edit ) In 1734 the Swedish scientist and theologian Emanuel Swedenborg in his Principia theorized that all matter is ultimately composed of dimensionless points of `` pure and total motion . '' He described this motion as being without force , direction or speed , but having the potential for force , direction and speed everywhere within it . Electromagnetic mass ( edit ) Main article : Electromagnetic mass There were many attempts in the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century -- like those of J.J. Thomson ( 1881 ) , Oliver Heaviside ( 1888 ) , and George Frederick Charles Searle ( 1897 ) , Wilhelm Wien ( 1900 ) , Max Abraham ( 1902 ) , Hendrik Antoon Lorentz ( 1904 ) -- to understand how the mass of a charged object depends on the electrostatic field . This concept was called electromagnetic mass , and was considered as being dependent on velocity and direction as well . Lorentz ( 1904 ) gave the following expressions for longitudinal and transverse electromagnetic mass : m L = m 0 ( 1 − v 2 c 2 ) 3 , m T = m 0 1 − v 2 c 2 ( \ displaystyle m_ ( L ) = ( \ frac ( m_ ( 0 ) ) ( \ left ( ( \ sqrt ( 1 - ( \ frac ( v ^ ( 2 ) ) ( c ^ ( 2 ) ) ) ) ) \ right ) ^ ( 3 ) ) ) , \ quad m_ ( T ) = ( \ frac ( m_ ( 0 ) ) ( \ sqrt ( 1 - ( \ frac ( v ^ ( 2 ) ) ( c ^ ( 2 ) ) ) ) ) ) ) , where m 0 = 4 3 E e m c 2 ( \ displaystyle m_ ( 0 ) = ( \ frac ( 4 ) ( 3 ) ) ( \ frac ( E_ ( em ) ) ( c ^ ( 2 ) ) ) ) Radiation pressure and inertia ( edit ) Main article : Electromagnetic mass § Inertia of energy and radiation paradoxes Another way of deriving some sort of electromagnetic mass was based on the concept of radiation pressure . In 1900 , Henri Poincaré associated electromagnetic radiation energy with a `` fictitious fluid '' having momentum and mass m e m = E e m c 2 . ( \ displaystyle m_ ( em ) = ( \ frac ( E_ ( em ) ) ( c ^ ( 2 ) ) ) \ , . ) By that , Poincaré tried to save the center of mass theorem in Lorentz 's theory , though his treatment led to radiation paradoxes . Friedrich Hasenöhrl showed in 1904 , that electromagnetic cavity radiation contributes the `` apparent mass '' m 0 = 4 3 E e m c 2 ( \ displaystyle m_ ( 0 ) = ( \ frac ( 4 ) ( 3 ) ) ( \ frac ( E_ ( em ) ) ( c ^ ( 2 ) ) ) ) to the cavity 's mass . He argued that this implies mass dependence on temperature as well . Einstein : mass -- energy equivalence ( edit ) Albert Einstein did not formulate exactly the formula E = mc in his 1905 Annus Mirabilis paper `` Does the Inertia of an object Depend Upon Its Energy Content ? '' ; rather , the paper states that if a body gives off the energy L in the form of radiation , its mass diminishes by L / c . ( Here , `` radiation '' means electromagnetic radiation , or light , and mass means the ordinary Newtonian mass of a slow - moving object . ) This formulation relates only a change Δm in mass to a change L in energy without requiring the absolute relationship . Objects with zero mass presumably have zero energy , so the extension that all mass is proportional to energy is obvious from this result . In 1905 , even the hypothesis that changes in energy are accompanied by changes in mass was untested . Not until the discovery of the first type of antimatter ( the positron in 1932 ) was it found that all of the mass of pairs of resting particles could be converted to radiation . The first derivation by Einstein ( 1905 ) ( edit ) Already in his relativity paper `` On the electrodynamics of moving bodies '' , Einstein derived the correct expression for the kinetic energy of particles : E k = m c 2 ( 1 1 − v 2 c 2 − 1 ) ( \ displaystyle E_ ( k ) = mc ^ ( 2 ) \ left ( ( \ frac ( 1 ) ( \ sqrt ( 1 - ( \ frac ( v ^ ( 2 ) ) ( c ^ ( 2 ) ) ) ) ) ) - 1 \ right ) ) . Now the question remained open as to which formulation applies to bodies at rest . This was tackled by Einstein in his paper `` Does the inertia of a body depend upon its energy content ? '' , where he used a body emitting two light pulses in opposite directions , having energies of E before and E after the emission as seen in its rest frame . As seen from a moving frame , this becomes H and H. Einstein obtained : ( H 0 − E 0 ) − ( H 1 − E 1 ) = E ( 1 1 − v 2 c 2 − 1 ) ( \ displaystyle \ left ( H_ ( 0 ) - E_ ( 0 ) \ right ) - \ left ( H_ ( 1 ) - E_ ( 1 ) \ right ) = E \ left ( ( \ frac ( 1 ) ( \ sqrt ( 1 - ( \ frac ( v ^ ( 2 ) ) ( c ^ ( 2 ) ) ) ) ) ) - 1 \ right ) ) then he argued that H − E can only differ from the kinetic energy K by an additive constant , which gives K 0 − K 1 = E ( 1 1 − v 2 c 2 − 1 ) ( \ displaystyle K_ ( 0 ) - K_ ( 1 ) = E \ left ( ( \ frac ( 1 ) ( \ sqrt ( 1 - ( \ frac ( v ^ ( 2 ) ) ( c ^ ( 2 ) ) ) ) ) ) - 1 \ right ) ) Neglecting effects higher than third order in v / c after a Taylor series expansion of the right side of this gives : K 0 − K 1 = E c 2 v 2 2 . ( \ displaystyle K_ ( 0 ) - K_ ( 1 ) = ( \ frac ( E ) ( c ^ ( 2 ) ) ) ( \ frac ( v ^ ( 2 ) ) ( 2 ) ) . ) Einstein concluded that the emission reduces the body 's mass by E / c , and that the mass of a body is a measure of its energy content . The correctness of Einstein 's 1905 derivation of E = mc was criticized by Max Planck ( 1907 ) , who argued that it is only valid to first approximation . Another criticism was formulated by Herbert Ives ( 1952 ) and Max Jammer ( 1961 ) , asserting that Einstein 's derivation is based on begging the question . On the other hand , John Stachel and Roberto Torretti ( 1982 ) argued that Ives ' criticism was wrong , and that Einstein 's derivation was correct . Hans Ohanian ( 2008 ) agreed with Stachel / Torretti 's criticism of Ives , though he argued that Einstein 's derivation was wrong for other reasons . For a recent review , see Hecht ( 2011 ) . Alternative version ( edit ) An alternative version of Einstein 's thought experiment was proposed by Fritz Rohrlich ( 1990 ) , who based his reasoning on the Doppler effect . Like Einstein , he considered a body at rest with mass M. If the body is examined in a frame moving with nonrelativistic velocity v , it is no longer at rest and in the moving frame it has momentum P = Mv . Then he supposed the body emits two pulses of light to the left and to the right , each carrying an equal amount of energy E / 2 . In its rest frame , the object remains at rest after the emission since the two beams are equal in strength and carry opposite momentum . However , if the same process is considered in a frame that moves with velocity v to the left , the pulse moving to the left is redshifted , while the pulse moving to the right is blue shifted . The blue light carries more momentum than the red light , so that the momentum of the light in the moving frame is not balanced : the light is carrying some net momentum to the right . The object has not changed its velocity before or after the emission . Yet in this frame it has lost some right - momentum to the light . The only way it could have lost momentum is by losing mass . This also solves Poincaré 's radiation paradox , discussed above . The velocity is small , so the right - moving light is blueshifted by an amount equal to the nonrelativistic Doppler shift factor 1 − v / c . The momentum of the light is its energy divided by c , and it is increased by a factor of v / c . So the right - moving light is carrying an extra momentum ΔP given by : Δ P = v c E 2 c . ( \ displaystyle \ Delta P = ( v \ over c ) ( E \ over 2c ) . ) The left - moving light carries a little less momentum , by the same amount ΔP . So the total right - momentum in the light is twice ΔP . This is the right - momentum that the object lost . 2 Δ P = v E c 2 . ( \ displaystyle 2 \ Delta P = v ( E \ over c ^ ( 2 ) ) . ) The momentum of the object in the moving frame after the emission is reduced to this amount : P ′ = M v − 2 Δ P = ( M − E c 2 ) v . ( \ displaystyle P ' = Mv - 2 \ Delta P = \ left ( M - ( E \ over c ^ ( 2 ) ) \ right ) v . ) So the change in the object 's mass is equal to the total energy lost divided by c . Since any emission of energy can be carried out by a two step process , where first the energy is emitted as light and then the light is converted to some other form of energy , any emission of energy is accompanied by a loss of mass . Similarly , by considering absorption , a gain in energy is accompanied by a gain in mass . Relativistic center - of - mass theorem ( 1906 ) ( edit ) Like Poincaré , Einstein concluded in 1906 that the inertia of electromagnetic energy is a necessary condition for the center - of - mass theorem to hold . On this occasion , Einstein referred to Poincaré 's 1900 paper and wrote : Although the merely formal considerations , which we will need for the proof , are already mostly contained in a work by H. Poincaré , for the sake of clarity I will not rely on that work . In Einstein 's more physical , as opposed to formal or mathematical , point of view , there was no need for fictitious masses . He could avoid the perpetuum mobile problem because , on the basis of the mass -- energy equivalence , he could show that the transport of inertia that accompanies the emission and absorption of radiation solves the problem . Poincaré 's rejection of the principle of action -- reaction can be avoided through Einstein 's E = mc , because mass conservation appears as a special case of the energy conservation law . Others ( edit ) During the nineteenth century there were several speculative attempts to show that mass and energy were proportional in various ether theories . In 1873 Nikolay Umov pointed out a relation between mass and energy for ether in the form of Е = kmc , where 0.5 ≤ k ≤ 1 . The writings of Samuel Tolver Preston , and a 1903 paper by Olinto De Pretto , presented a mass -- energy relation . Bartocci ( 1999 ) observed that there were only three degrees of separation linking De Pretto to Einstein , concluding that Einstein was probably aware of De Pretto 's work . Preston and De Pretto , following Le Sage , imagined that the universe was filled with an ether of tiny particles that always move at speed c . Each of these particles has a kinetic energy of mc up to a small numerical factor . The nonrelativistic kinetic energy formula did not always include the traditional factor of 1 / 2 , since Leibniz introduced kinetic energy without it , and the 1 / 2 is largely conventional in prerelativistic physics . By assuming that every particle has a mass that is the sum of the masses of the ether particles , the authors concluded that all matter contains an amount of kinetic energy either given by E = mc or 2E = mc depending on the convention . A particle ether was usually considered unacceptably speculative science at the time , and since these authors did not formulate relativity , their reasoning is completely different from that of Einstein , who used relativity to change frames . Independently , Gustave Le Bon in 1905 speculated that atoms could release large amounts of latent energy , reasoning from an all - encompassing qualitative philosophy of physics . Radioactivity and nuclear energy ( edit ) It was quickly noted after the discovery of radioactivity in 1897 , that the total energy due to radioactive processes is about one million times greater than that involved in any known molecular change . However , it raised the question where this energy is coming from . After eliminating the idea of absorption and emission of some sort of Lesagian ether particles , the existence of a huge amount of latent energy , stored within matter , was proposed by Ernest Rutherford and Frederick Soddy in 1903 . Rutherford also suggested that this internal energy is stored within normal matter as well . He went on to speculate in 1904 : If it were ever found possible to control at will the rate of disintegration of the radio - elements , an enormous amount of energy could be obtained from a small quantity of matter . Einstein 's equation is in no way an explanation of the large energies released in radioactive decay ( this comes from the powerful nuclear forces involved ; forces that were still unknown in 1905 ) . In any case , the enormous energy released from radioactive decay ( which had been measured by Rutherford ) was much more easily measured than the ( still small ) change in the gross mass of materials as a result . Einstein 's equation , by theory , can give these energies by measuring mass differences before and after reactions , but in practice , these mass differences in 1905 were still too small to be measured in bulk . Prior to this , the ease of measuring radioactive decay energies with a calorimeter was thought possibly likely to allow measurement of changes in mass difference , as a check on Einstein 's equation itself . Einstein mentions in his 1905 paper that mass -- energy equivalence might perhaps be tested with radioactive decay , which releases enough energy ( the quantitative amount known roughly by 1905 ) to possibly be `` weighed , '' when missing from the system ( having been given off as heat ) . However , radioactivity seemed to proceed at its own unalterable ( and quite slow , for radioactives known then ) pace , and even when simple nuclear reactions became possible using proton bombardment , the idea that these great amounts of usable energy could be liberated at will with any practicality , proved difficult to substantiate . Rutherford was reported in 1933 to have declared that this energy could not be exploited efficiently : `` Anyone who expects a source of power from the transformation of the atom is talking moonshine . '' The popular connection between Einstein , E = mc , and the atomic bomb was prominently indicated on the cover of Time magazine in July 1946 by the writing of the equation on the mushroom cloud . This situation changed dramatically in 1932 with the discovery of the neutron and its mass , allowing mass differences for single nuclides and their reactions to be calculated directly , and compared with the sum of masses for the particles that made up their composition . In 1933 , the energy released from the reaction of lithium - 7 plus protons giving rise to 2 alpha particles ( as noted above by Rutherford ) , allowed Einstein 's equation to be tested to an error of ± 0.5 % . However , scientists still did not see such reactions as a practical source of power , due to the energy cost of accelerating reaction particles . After the very public demonstration of huge energies released from nuclear fission after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 , the equation E = mc became directly linked in the public eye with the power and peril of nuclear weapons . The equation was featured as early as page 2 of the Smyth Report , the official 1945 release by the US government on the development of the atomic bomb , and by 1946 the equation was linked closely enough with Einstein 's work that the cover of Time magazine prominently featured a picture of Einstein next to an image of a mushroom cloud emblazoned with the equation . Einstein himself had only a minor role in the Manhattan Project : he had cosigned a letter to the U.S. President in 1939 urging funding for research into atomic energy , warning that an atomic bomb was theoretically possible . The letter persuaded Roosevelt to devote a significant portion of the wartime budget to atomic research . Without a security clearance , Einstein 's only scientific contribution was an analysis of an isotope separation method in theoretical terms . It was inconsequential , on account of Einstein not being given sufficient information ( for security reasons ) to fully work on the problem . While E = mc is useful for understanding the amount of energy potentially released in a fission reaction , it was not strictly necessary to develop the weapon , once the fission process was known , and its energy measured at 200 MeV ( which was directly possible , using a quantitative Geiger counter , at that time ) . As the physicist and Manhattan Project participant Robert Serber put it : `` Somehow the popular notion took hold long ago that Einstein 's theory of relativity , in particular his famous equation E = mc , plays some essential role in the theory of fission . Albert Einstein had a part in alerting the United States government to the possibility of building an atomic bomb , but his theory of relativity is not required in discussing fission . The theory of fission is what physicists call a non-relativistic theory , meaning that relativistic effects are too small to affect the dynamics of the fission process significantly . '' However the association between E = mc and nuclear energy has since stuck , and because of this association , and its simple expression of the ideas of Albert Einstein himself , it has become `` the world 's most famous equation '' . While Serber 's view of the strict lack of need to use mass -- energy equivalence in designing the atomic bomb is correct , it does not take into account the pivotal role this relationship played in making the fundamental leap to the initial hypothesis that large atoms were energetically allowed to split into approximately equal parts ( before this energy was in fact measured ) . In late 1938 , Lise Meitner and Otto Robert Frisch -- while on a winter walk during which they solved the meaning of Hahn 's experimental results and introduced the idea that would be called atomic fission -- directly used Einstein 's equation to help them understand the quantitative energetics of the reaction that overcame the `` surface tension - like '' forces that hold the nucleus together , and allowed the fission fragments to separate to a configuration from which their charges could force them into an energetic fission . To do this , they used packing fraction , or nuclear binding energy values for elements , which Meitner had memorized . These , together with use of E = mc allowed them to realize on the spot that the basic fission process was energetically possible : ... We walked up and down in the snow , I on skis and she on foot ... and gradually the idea took shape ... explained by Bohr 's idea that the nucleus is like a liquid drop ; such a drop might elongate and divide itself ... We knew there were strong forces that would resist , ... just as surface tension . But nuclei differed from ordinary drops . At this point we both sat down on a tree trunk and started to calculate on scraps of paper ... the Uranium nucleus might indeed be a very wobbly , unstable drop , ready to divide itself ... But , ... when the two drops separated they would be driven apart by electrical repulsion , about 200 MeV in all . Fortunately Lise Meitner remembered how to compute the masses of nuclei ... and worked out that the two nuclei formed ... would be lighter by about one - fifth the mass of a proton . Now whenever mass disappears energy is created , according to Einstein 's formula E = mc , and ... the mass was just equivalent to 200 MeV ; it all fitted !

It is a form of qualitative research consisting of interviews in which a group of people are asked about their perceptions , opinions , beliefs , and attitudes towards a product , service , concept , advertisement , idea , or packaging . Questions are asked in an interactive group setting where participants are free to talk with other group members . During this process , the researcher either takes notes or records the vital points he or she is getting from the group . Researchers should select members of the focus group carefully for effective and authoritative responses .

Associate director sociologist Robert K. Merton set up focus groups at the Bureau of Applied Social Research in the USA prior to 1976 . Psychologist and marketing expert Ernest Dichter coined the term `` focus group '' itself before his death in 1991 . Use in disciplines ( edit ) Library and information science ( edit ) In library and information science , when the library intends to work on its collection , the library consults the users who are the reason the library was established . This is an important process in meeting the needs of the users . Social sciences ( edit ) In the social sciences and urban planning , focus groups allow interviewers to study people in a more natural conversation pattern than typically occurs in a one - to - one interview . In combination with participant observation , they can be used for learning about groups and their patterns of interaction . An advantage is their fairly low cost compared to surveys , as one can get results relatively quickly and increase the sample size of a report by talking with several people at once . Another advantage is that they can be used as an occasion for participants to learn from one another as they exchange and build on one another 's views , so that the participants can experience the research as an enriching encounter . This counteracts the extractive nature of research which seeks to `` mine '' participants for data ( with no benefit for them ) as criticized by various authors , and in particular Indigenous - oriented authors ( and others sharing similar sentiments ) , as explained , for example , by Romm ( 2015 ) : http://www.qualitative-research.net/index.php/fqs/article/view/2087 Marketing ( edit ) In the world of marketing , focus groups are seen as an important tool for acquiring feedback regarding new products , as well as various other topics . In marketing , focus groups are usually used in the early stages of product or concept development , when organizations are trying to create an overall direction for marketing initiative . In particular , focus groups allow companies wishing to develop , package , name , or test market a new product , to discuss , view , and / or test the new product before it is made available to the public . This can provide valuable information about the potential market acceptance of the product . A focus group is an interview , conducted by a trained moderator among a small group of respondents . The interview is conducted in an informal and natural way where respondents are free to give views from any aspect . Focus groups are similar to , but should not be confused with in - depth interviews . The moderator uses a discussion guide that has been prepared in advance of the focus group to guide the discussion . Generally the discussion goes from overall impressions of a brand or product category and becomes more specific as the discussion progresses . Participants are recruited on the basis of similar demographics , psychographics , buying attitudes , or behaviors . Representatives of the stake holder ( often a design team in the case of testing acceptance on a new product ) are not involved in the focus group , not to bias the exercise . However they may attend the focus group , either through video cameras , or by watching through a one way mirror . Traditional focus groups can provide accurate information , and are less expensive than other forms of traditional marketing research . There can be significant costs however : if a product is to be marketed on a nationwide basis , it would be critical to gather respondents from various locales throughout the country since attitudes about a new product may vary due to geographical considerations . This would require a considerable expenditure in travel and lodging expenses . Additionally , the site of a traditional focus group may or may not be in a locale convenient to a specific client , so client representatives may have to incur travel and lodging expenses as well . Today , using audience response keypads to collect questionnaire answers is the new industry trend . Usability engineering ( edit ) In usability engineering , a focus group is a survey method to collect the views of users on software or a website . This marketing method can be applied to computer products to better understand the motivations of users and their perception of the product . Unlike other methods of ergonomics , focus group implies several participants : users or future users of the application . The focus group can only collect subjective data , not objective data on the use of the application as the usability test for example . Types ( edit ) Variants of focus groups include : Two - way focus group - one focus group watches another focus group and discusses the observed interactions and conclusion Dual moderator focus group - one moderator ensures the session progresses smoothly , while another ensures that all the topics are covered Dueling moderator focus group ( fencing - moderator ) - two moderators deliberately take opposite sides on the issue under discussion Respondent moderator focus group - one and only one of the respondents is asked to act as the moderator temporarily Client participant focus groups - one or more client representatives participate in the discussion , either covertly or overtly Mini focus groups - groups are composed of four or five members rather than 6 to 12 Teleconference focus groups - telephone network is used Creativity groups Band obsessive group Online focus groups - computers connected via the internet are used Discussions ( edit ) Group discussion produces data and insights that would be less accessible without interaction found in a group setting -- listening to others ' verbalized experiences stimulates memories , ideas , and experiences in participants . This is also known as the group effect where group members engage in `` a kind of ' chaining ' or ' cascading ' effect ; talk links to , or tumbles out of , the topics and expressions preceding it '' ( Lindlof & Taylor , 2002 , p. 182 ) Group members discover a common language to describe similar experiences . This enables the capture of a form of `` native language '' or `` vernacular speech '' to understand the situation Focus groups also provide an opportunity for disclosure among similar others in a setting where participants are validated . For example , in the context of workplace bullying , targeted employees often find themselves in situations where they experience lack of voice and feelings of isolation . Use of focus groups to study workplace bullying therefore serve as both an efficacious and ethical venue for collecting data ( see , e.g. , Tracy , Lutgen - Sandvik , & Alberts , 2006 ) Problems and criticism ( edit ) A fundamental difficulty with focus groups ( and other forms of qualitative research ) is the issue of observer dependency : the results obtained are influenced by the researcher or his or her own reading of the group 's discussion , raising questions of validity ( see experimenter 's bias ) . Focus groups are `` One shot case studies '' especially if they are measuring a property - disposition relationship within the social sciences , unless they are repeated . Focus groups can create severe issues of external validity , especially the reactive effects of the testing arrangement . Other common ( and related ) criticism involve groupthink and social desirability bias . Another issue is with the setting itself . If the focus groups are held in a laboratory setting with a moderator who is a professor and the recording instrument is obtrusive , the participants may either hold back on their responses and / or try to answer the moderator 's questions with answers the participants feel that the moderator wants to hear . Another issue with the focus group setting is the lack of anonymity . With all of the other participants , there can not be any guarantee of confidentiality . Douglas Rushkoff argues that focus groups are often useless , and frequently cause more trouble than they are intended to solve , with focus groups often aiming to please rather than offering their own opinions or evaluations , and with data often cherry picked to support a foregone conclusion . Rushkoff cites the disastrous introduction of New Coke in the 1980s as a vivid example of focus group analysis gone bad . Jonathan Ive , Apple 's senior vice president of industrial design , also said that Apple had found a good reason not to do focus groups : `` They just ensure that you do n't offend anyone , and produce bland inoffensive products . '' Data analysis ( edit ) The analysis of focus group data presents both challenges and opportunities when compared to other types of qualitative data . Some authors have suggested that data should be analysed in the same manner as interview data , while others have suggested that the unique features of focus group data -- particularly the opportunity that it provides to observe interactions between group members - means that distinctive forms of analysis should be used . Data analysis can take place at the level of the individual or the group . Focus group data provides the opportunity to analyse the strength with which an individual holds an opinion . If they are presented with opposing opinions or directly challenged , the individual may either modify their position or defend it . Bringing together all the comments that an individual makes in order can enable the researcher to determine whether their view changes in the course of discussion and , if so , further examination of the transcript may reveal which contributions by other focus group members brought about the change . At the collective level , focus group data can sometimes reveal shared understandings or common views . However , there is a danger that a consensus can be assumed when not every person has spoken : the researcher will need to consider carefully whether the people who have not expressed a view can be assumed to agree with the majority , or whether they may simply be unwilling to voice their disagreement . United States government ( edit ) The United States federal government makes extensive use of focus groups to assess public education materials and messages for their many programs . While many of these are appropriate for the purpose , many others are reluctant compromises which federal officials have had to make as a result of studies independent of whether a focus group is the best or even appropriate methodology . Art ( edit ) Swedish artist Måns Wrange has used the concept of the focus group in his work The Good Rumor Project . In this instance the focus group situation is used not only as a means to investigate the opinions of the group members , but also to spread an idea ( the rumor ) across society with the help of the group members . Exercises ( edit ) Various creative activity - oriented questions can serve as supplements to verbal questions including but not limited to the following : Free listings - participants produce a list of all elements of a domain Rating - participants have a list of items which must be rated on a scale , typically using a numbers or adjectives Ranking - participants can either receive a list of items to rank according to a specified dimension or participants can combine items in pairs to compare elements in the pairs Pile sorting - participants sort cards representing elements of a domain into piles according to their similarities and differences Picture sort - Participants are distributed selected pictures from magazines or photographs to sort through , finding matches of a definite characteristic or that best represent a certain category Magic tools and fantasy - the moderator can literally or symbolically pass around a `` magical '' tool to each participant as he or she shares a fantasy , dream , or idea Storytelling - participants create a narrative around the topic of interest to make others think about a solution to a problem , gauge reactions to a situation , and observe attitudes towards the topic under study Role - playing - participants demonstrate through action how they would behave or act in a situation , how they would solve a problem , or deal with a difficulty Sentence completion - participants are given printed out partial sentences on a topic to complete and share within a group Collage - a moderator assigns a theme and then distributes print materials to participants ( who are divided into small groups ) , so they can use these materials , drawings , and their own words to create a relevant collage .

a focus group is typically classified as a type of
[ "A focus group is a small, but demographically diverse group of people and whose reactions are studied especially in market research or political analysis in guided or open discussions about a new product or something else to determine the reactions that can be expected from a larger population.[1][2][3] It is a form of qualitative research consisting of interviews in which a group of people are asked about their perceptions, opinions, beliefs, and attitudes towards a product, service, concept, advertisement, idea, or packaging. Questions are asked in an interactive group setting where participants are free to talk with other group members. During this process, the researcher either takes notes or records the vital points he or she is getting from the group. Researchers should select members of the focus group carefully for effective and authoritative responses." ]

McGwire tied that record less than an hour later and then hit two home runs on each of the next two days to achieve his 70 home run record . Progression ( edit ) Summarized from The Baseball Encyclopedia for older information , and from various news stories for newer information : Four baseball bats that were used in setting single - season home run records . From left to right : bat used by Babe Ruth to hit his 60th home run during the 1927 season , bat used by Roger Maris to hit his 61st home run during the 1961 season , bat used by Mark McGwire to hit his 70th home run during the 1998 season , and the bat used by Sammy Sosa for his 66th home run during the same season . 5 , by George Hall , Philadelphia Athletics ( NL ) , 1876 ( 70 game schedule ) 9 , by Charley Jones , Boston Red Stockings ( NL ) , 1879 ( 84 game schedule ) 14 , by Harry Stovey , Philadelphia Athletics ( AA ) , 1883 ( 98 game schedule ) 27 , by Ned Williamson , Chicago White Stockings ( NL ) , 1884 ( 112 game schedule ) Williamson benefited from a very short outfield fence in his home ballpark , Lakeshore Park . During the park 's previous years , balls hit over the fence in that park were ground - rule doubles , but in 1884 ( its final year ) they were credited as home runs . Williamson led the pace , but several of his Chicago teammates also topped the 20 HR mark that season . Of Williamson 's total , 25 were hit at home , and only 2 on the road . Noticing the fluke involved , fans of the early 20th century were more impressed with Buck Freeman 's total of 25 home runs in 1899 or Gavvy Cravath 's 1915 total of 24 . 29 , by Babe Ruth , Boston Red Sox ( AL ) , 1919 ( 140 game schedule ) Even with that relatively small quantity , and still pitching part - time , Ruth alone hit more home runs than did 10 of the 15 other major league clubs . The second - highest individual total was 12 , by Gavvy Cravath of the Philadelphia Phillies . Ruth homered in every park in the league , the first time anyone had achieved that distinction . Ruth was a pitcher by trade , and the ultimate exception to the axiom that pitchers ca n't hit . Ruth had led the league with 11 in 1918 , despite playing only 95 games , and still in the `` dead - ball '' era . By 1919 , after the War , the materials for baseballs began to improve and became naturally `` livelier '' . 54 , Babe Ruth , New York Yankees ( AL ) , 1920 ( 154 game schedule ) Ruth hit just a few more home runs on the road ( 26 ) than he had the previous year ( 20 ) , but he hit far more ( 29 ) in the Polo Grounds in New York ( where the Yankees played at the time ) than he had in Fenway Park ( 9 ) in Boston the year before , as he took full advantage of the nearby right field wall , although he also hit many long drives at the Polo Grounds . Of the other 15 major league clubs , only the Philadelphia Phillies exceeded Ruth 's single - handed total , hitting 64 in their bandbox ballpark Baker Bowl . The second - highest individual total was the St. Louis Browns ' George Sisler 's 19 . Ruth 's major - league record slugging percentage ( total bases / at bats ) of . 847 stood for the next 80 years . 59 , by Ruth , New York ( AL ) , 1921 ( 154 game schedule ) Ruth 's slugging percentage was just . 001 less than his record - setting average the previous year . 60 , by Ruth , New York ( AL ) , 1927 ( 154 game schedule ) Ruth hit more home runs in 1927 than any of the other seven American League teams . His closest rival was his teammate Lou Gehrig , who hit 47 homers that year . 61 , by Roger Maris , New York ( AL ) , 1961 ( 162 game schedule ) Pushing Maris that year was teammate Mickey Mantle ; slowed by an injury late in the season , Mantle finished with 54 . With the season being eight games longer than in previous years , leading to the suggestion that official record keepers place an `` asterisk '' next to the record , many observers derided this situation as a major public relations gaffe by major league baseball . 70 , by Mark McGwire , St. Louis Cardinals ( NL ) , 1998 ( 162 game schedule ) After an epic battle between McGwire and Ken Griffey , Jr. , who both got into the 50s in 1997 , many expected the two to take on Maris in 1998 . However , the player that competed for the record with McGwire in 1998 was Sammy Sosa of the Chicago Cubs , who propelled himself into the race with a record - setting 20 home runs that June . He would finish with 66 that season and actually led McGwire for approximately 45 minutes after hitting his 66th , until McGwire hit his own 66th , and four more in his final three games of the season . McGwire broke the old records in 144 games -- fewer than even the old 154 game season . That removed season - length as a source of `` asterisk '' controversy , but McGwire 's connection to the steroid scandal introduced a new call for asterisks on this and other records set in this era . On January 11 , 2010 McGwire admitted using steroids during the 1998 season . McGwire claimed to use steroids to help heal an ailing body and denied they helped him to hit a baseball . 73 , by Barry Bonds , San Francisco Giants ( NL ) , 2001 ( 162 game schedule ) In part due to 9 / 11 terrorist attacks , the then - recently set record of only three years by McGwire , and Bonds ' poor relationship with the media and some fans , Bonds ' record setting was not as publicized as the previous chases . Bonds was initially chased closely by Sosa and Luis Gonzalez of the Arizona Diamondbacks , but Gonzalez faded late and finished with 57 , while Sosa finished closer with 64 to become the first player to exceed 60 home runs in three separate seasons . McGwire was not a factor during what would be his final major league season , as the injuries that had plagued him for much of his career finally took their toll , although he still hit at a pace that would have put him near 50 if he had played a full season . Bonds ' slugging percentage of . 863 broke the major league record set by Ruth in 1920 . As happened with McGwire 's record , Bonds ' connection to steroids resulted in his being among the accomplishments questioned in the era .

It was opened in 1877 , the last new 7 ft ( 2,134 mm ) broad gauge passenger railway to be constructed in the country . Converted to standard gauge in 1892 , it continues to operate as a community railway which carries a large number of tourists as well as local passengers . It has five stations including the junction with the Cornish Main Line at St Erth . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Route 3 Services 4 Signalling 5 Community rail 6 Passenger volume 7 References 8 Further reading 9 External links History ( edit ) St Ives circa 1890 The St Ives Junction Railway applied for an Act of Parliament in 1845 , but as the West Cornwall Railway 's Bill failed in its application for an Act at the same time , the St Ives company withdrew its proposal . A new Act was successfully applied for in 1873 to authorise a St Ives branch line as an extension of the West Cornwall Railway , although by that time this was controlled by the Great Western Railway . It was opened on 1 June 1877 , the last new 7 ft ( 2,134 mm ) broad gauge passenger railway route to be built in Britain . A third rail was added to the southern section of the line in October 1888 to allow 4 ft 8 ⁄ in ( 1,435 mm ) standard gauge goods trains to reach the wharf at Lelant . The last broad gauge train ran on Friday 20 May 1892 ; since the following Monday all trains have been standard gauge . Although there was heavy traffic in fish in the early years , this declined during the first half of the twentieth century . Goods traffic was withdrawn from the intermediate stations at Lelant and Carbis Bay in May 1956 but continued at St Ives itself until September 1963 . All the sidings were taken out of use at St Ives by 1966 , by which time trains on the branch were operated by diesel multiple units . The line was proposed for closure in the Reshaping of British railways report which prompted it to be one of the lines featured in Flanders and Swann 's Slow Train , but it was reprieved by Minister of Transport Barbara Castle . On 23 May 1971 , the platform at St Ives was moved to make way for a car park but seven years later , on 27 May 1978 , a new station was opened at Lelant Saltings opened between St Erth and Lelant . This was given a large car park so that it could operate as a Park and Ride facility for St Ives . Route ( edit ) ( hide ) St Ives Bay Line Legend Cornish Main Line to Penzance 01⁄5 St Erth Cornish Main Line to London 3⁄4 Lelant Saltings 11⁄5 Lelant Lelant Wharf 31⁄5 Carbis Bay Carbis Bay Viaduct St Ives Viaduct 41⁄4 St Ives The communities served by the route are : St Erth -- Lelant -- Carbis Bay -- St Ives Carbis Bay Viaduct The branch line is single track for its whole length with no passing places . It runs alongside the Hayle estuary and then the sea coast and is promoted as a good place to see birds from the train . It has also been listed as one of the most picturesque railways in England . The line diverges from the Cornish Main Line at St Erth . After the line goes through a short cutting and underneath two road bridges which carry the A30 roundabout outside the station , the line follows the western side of the estuary past Lelant Saltings . Beyond Lelant railway station the line enters a cutting and climbs onto the sand dunes above Porth Kidney Sands on St Ives Bay , with the church of St Uny and Lelant golf course on the left ; the church 's cemetery was disturbed when the railway cut through the hill . The South West Coast Path crosses the line here and then follows close by all the way to St Ives . The railway continues to climb up and onto the steep cliffs at Hawkes Point , about 30 metres ( 98 ft ) above sea level . Soon after the line comes around the headland at Carrick Gladden and into Carbis Bay . Perched on the hillside above the beach , this resort only developed after the railway arrived in 1877 . The line now crosses 78 yards ( 71 m ) long Carbis Viaduct then continues on the cliff 's edge until it emerges at Porthminster Point , from where it drops down across the 106 yards ( 97 m ) St Ives Viaduct to reach St Ives railway station which is situated above Portminster Beach . Services ( edit ) A sign at St Erth station informing passengers about the short turnaround times for the St Ives shuttle services . The line initially saw just five trains a day , but by 1909 this had grown to nine and in 1965 it was 17 with up to 24 on summer Saturdays . Some trains included through carriages from London Paddington station and in the 1950s the Cornish Riviera Express ran from St Ives through to Paddington on summer Saturdays . The number of services continued to increase following the opening of Lelant Saltings and the summer of 2006 saw 26 daily services operated by Wessex Trains . Great Western Railway ( train operating company ) took over the operation later in the year and the winter timetable was reduced to 16 trains which caused some concern but the summer of 2007 saw a return to the previous service level . As of August 2016 , trains run at approximately 30 - minute intervals in each direction for most of the day , including Sundays . In the summer months when traffic levels are high , most services are now operated by two - car Class 150 sets , but in the winter a single - car Class 153 is generally sufficient . On particularly busy days additional sets are added ; St Ives can handle six carriages but the bay platform at St Erth is long enough for just five . Two or three trains are extended to and from Penzance on most days to facilitate crew changes . Since the line has no passing loops and the average journey time along the full length of the line is just under 15 minutes , services on the line suffer from very short turnaround times ( about 1 minute ) at both St Erth and St Ives stations . Signalling ( edit ) The line is controlled from the signal box at St Erth ; only one train is allowed to operate on the line at any time . Trains travelling towards St Ives are described as ' down trains ' and those towards St Erth as ' up trains ' . There are three public crossings on the line . ' Western Growers Crossing ' is a crossing at St Erth which the signaller can see from the signal box . ' Towan Crossing ' is a user - worked crossing north of Lelant , and there is a foot crossing at Hawke 's Point as the line approaches Carbis Bay . Community Rail ( edit ) The St Ives Bay Line is one of the railway lines supported by the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership , an organisation formed in 1991 to promote railway services in the area . The line is promoted by many means such as regular timetable and scenic line guides , as well as leaflets highlighting leisure opportunities such as walking , birdwatching , and visiting country pubs . The special livery once carried by DMU 153329 The St Ives Bay Line rail ale trail was launched on 3 June 2005 to encourage rail travellers to visit pubs near the line . Of the 14 participating pubs , five are in St Ives , one in Lelant , two close to Lelant Saltings , one near St Erth and five in Penzance 6 , 10 or 14 stamps collected in the Rail Ale Trail leaflet entitle the participant to claim special St Ives Bay Line Rail Trail souvenir merchandise . Wessex Trains gave Class 153 single - car DMU number 153329 a special blue livery with large coloured pictures promoting the line and named it St Ives Bay Line , although this has now been removed by First Great Western who now operate the line . The branch was designated as a community railway line in July 2005 , being one of seven pilots for the Department for Transport 's Community Rail Development Strategy . This aims to increase the number of passengers and reduce costs to make lightly used railways more economically sustainable . Among its aims are a higher - frequency of service , to introduce local tickets and ticket vending machines , and public art on the stations promoting the line as the artistic gateway to St Ives . Sterling Rail , a local action group , have proposed to take on the operation of the branch line and reintroduce steam trains . They also hope to place a dining car in the sidings at St Erth . Passenger volume ( edit ) Despite figures showing just 251 passengers in the previous year , 150233 finds more than 60 people waiting at Lelant Saltings in 2009 . The Office of the Rail Regulator 's statistics show that the number of passengers travelling on the St Ives line appears to have been declining in recent years . However , an increase in usage for the year beginning April 2010 has been the result of switching from counting ranger tickets to point - to - point tickets .

She receives her first classroom assignment in Coal Valley , a small coal - mining town in Western Canada which is located just south of Robb , Alberta . There , life is simple -- but often fraught with challenges . Elizabeth charms most everyone in Coal Valley , except Royal North West Mounted Police Constable Jack Thornton ( Daniel Lissing ) .

The middle daughter of William and Grace Thatcher , Elizabeth has two sisters , older sister Viola and younger sister Julie . Elizabeth finds herself in Coal Valley , a small community on the Canadian frontier in need of a teacher , and quickly discovers it is not an easy place to live , lacking the creature comforts and luxuries of her privileged life with her family . She soon meets the newly appointed and charismatic Mountie Jack Thornton and develops an immediate dislike for him . However , over time they become good friends , and develop an obvious attraction to one another . In the final episode of season 1 , `` Prelude to a Kiss , '' ( also titled as `` Final Adieu '' ) , after overcoming many obstacles throughout the season , Jack tells Elizabeth , `` You 're the one , you 're the only one '' and they share a kiss . Throughout season 2 , Elizabeth 's feelings for Jack are high at times as well as low . Finally , in the season 2 finale , she admits that his job as a Mountie scares her . After being comforted both admitting that they love each other , Jack and Elizabeth kiss . Jack Thornton is a laid back country boy . Jack is the son of Mountie Thomas Thornton and his wife Charlotte Thornton . Jack has a younger brother , Tom ( named after his father ) . As a Mountie and a man of stout character and integrity , he often finds himself protecting and saving people . In season 1 's `` A Telling Silence , '' Jack finds a basset hound whom he names Rip ( after Rip Van Winkle ) and takes home with him . A source of comfort and companion in the small town , Jack often goes to Rip when times in his life are difficult .

Jack and Elizabeth search for him ; in their search , their relationship grows stronger . Upon his first meeting of Elizabeth , he developed an instant dislike and it appeared she irritated him . However , he grew to like and then fall madly and completely in love with her over time . In `` Rules of Engagement '' ( S. 1 ) , it is revealed that Jack was briefly engaged to Rosemary LeVeaux when she comes looking for him . However , they have both changed and realize that they can not have a relationship as they once did ever again . In `` Prelude to a Kiss '' ( S. 1 ) , Jack found out that Elizabeth may be leaving Coal Valley . Taking her on a walk and giving her a framed picture of them that he had sketched , he asks her not to leave Coal Valley and tells her , `` You 're the one , you 're the only one . '' She replied that she was `` not going anywhere '' , Coal Valley was where she belonged before they share a kiss . In season 2 , Elizabeth and Jack share a hot - and - cold relationship until the finale , `` With All My Heart . '' They both admit that they love each other and share another kiss . Jack 's brother , Tom , is introduced season 2 's `` Trials of the Heart , '' and their rocky relationship continues until `` Coming Together , Coming Apart . '' Jack gently reminds his younger brother how their father was so proud of him , but he would n't be proud of the way he was currently living . Both in tears , Jack tells his younger brother that he believes in him and that he can turn his life around . More recently , Jack has become good friends with the sawmill operator , Lee Coulter . In season 3 , Jack begins the new year knowing that Elizabeth only has eyes for him and that her relationship with Charles is over for good . In `` Hearts In Question , '' Jack 's mother Charlotte shows up unexpectedly . She meets Elizabeth and is suspicious of her , but through staying her sees Elizabeth for who she really is : a trustworthy , dedicated teacher . In the season finale , `` Prayers From The Heart , '' Jack is injured in a flood . But he miraculously recovers in time to serve as Lee 's best man at his wedding . Abigail Stanton is a Coal Valley woman who tragically lost her husband and son in the mining accident . Abigail is a very kind woman , and she stands strongly for the things she believes in . She is one of the first women to welcome Elizabeth and the two women quickly become friends . When Elizabeth accidentally burns down the little teacherage , Abigail gladly welcomes her into her home to live . After being complimented on her cooking , Abigail decides to open a cafe in Coal Valley . Together , Abigail and Elizabeth move into the rooms above the cafe . At the end of season 1 , Abigail enjoys the company of Bill Avery , a Mountie , serving as a Forensic Investigator and friend of Jack Thornton 's . In season 2 , Abigail takes in her daughter - in - law , Clara , the wife of her late son Peter whom Abigail sees as the daughter she never had . With Bill 's past being revealed , Abigail ends their friendship and spends more time with the new pastor , Frank Hogan . Also , she is a strong independent woman that is set on doing the things that are right and tries to help Elizabeth . Bill Avery is a mysterious , quiet man . He first appears in season 1 's `` Rules of Engagement , '' in order to help Jack expose Mr. Gowen 's wrongdoings . Bill is immediately attracted to widow Abigail Stanton . Things are going well until Abigail discovers a picture of Bill 's family and his wedding ring . He later tells her that his son died , as well as his wife . However , his wife , Nora , comes to confront him in season 2 's `` Heart 's Desire . '' Henry Gowen is a cold , cynical man who formerly owned the coal mine . After the mine was shut down , Henry became the mayor of Hope Valley and still creates a cold , cynical presence whenever people are around him . Henry is highly disliked and feared in the town . He frequently uses bribery to get what he wants , which is never for the good of the town . Rosemary `` Rosie '' LeVeaux Coulter is a flamboyant , enthusiastic actress from New York . She was briefly engaged to Jack Thornton , but they both realized that it would n't work out . Rosie immediately disliked Elizabeth and viewed her as `` the competition , '' but eventually came to really care about Elizabeth , even if she has a hard time showing it . At the beginning of season 2 , Rosemary began working at the cafe with Abigail and the two quickly became friends . Spending time with Abigail helped tone down some of Rosemary 's enthusiasm and made her a more likable person . Rosemary even came to like Elizabeth , even if only on an acquaintance level . Truthfully , she cares about everyone in Hope Valley , especially Lee , with whom she shares an mutual attraction . When Rosie is not spending time with Lee , talking to Abigail , or dreaming about the glamorous life of an actress , she can often be found somewhere writing her weekly advice column for Hope Valley 's newspaper ! In season 3 , Rosemary 's friendship with Elizabeth deepened . Instead of viewing her as an adversary , she finds a friend in Elizabeth . Throughout season 3 , Rosemary 's relationship with Lee becomes more romantic . In `` Heart Of A Hero , '' seeing that Lee needs to spend more time at the sawmill to help the new settlers find jobs , Rosemary tells Lee that the theatre does n't have to be built . He insists , but she says how important his job is . He smiles and tells her he will one day build her theatre , telling her that she is `` the best part of his life . '' The couple shares in their first kiss . In `` A Gentle Heart , '' Lee is injured . Thinking he is asleep , Rosemary pours out her heart to him , telling how much she loves him . In `` Heartbreak , '' Rosemary is offered a job in Hollywood filming . This has always been Rosemary 's dream , to be an actress . Lee unselfishly tells her to do whatever she feels best , but it is obvious that the thought of her leaving Hope Valley hurts him . Rosemary considers her options and realizes that her place is in Hope Valley , with Lee . Lee then tells her that he has another `` role '' that he thinks would be perfect for her and proposes marriage . She happily accepts . In `` Hearts In Question , '' Rosemary enthusiastically plans for their wedding . The couple weds in the season 3 finale `` Prayers From The Heart , '' with Elizabeth and Abigail as her maids of honor . Leland `` Lee '' Coulter is a kind , laidback , patient man who opens a sawmill in Hope Valley . When timber becomes Coal Valley 's major source of natural resources , the town is renamed Hope Valley . He shares a mutual attraction to Rosemary and proves to be one of the few people who can outwit her . When she declines his romantic intentions , Lee recruits his friend , Molly Sullivan , to make Rosemary jealous ; the ploy succeeds and Rosemary accepts his suit , appreciating Lee 's good qualities . Despite her dramatic and occasionally prickly personality , Lee 's compassion and patience never fails with her . With Rosemary 's help , Lee beat Mr. Gowen at his own game in `` Heart and Home . '' When not at work , Lee enjoys being with friends , including Jack Thornton , who shares Lee 's simple and laidback outlook , allowing the men to discuss their lives and exchange romantic advice . In season 3 , Lee 's mill is unfortunately sabotaged by a man inside . Through Bill and Jack 's investigation , they find the culprit . In season 3 's `` Heart Of A Hero , '' Rosemary unselfishly gives up the theatre that Lee promised to build her . Lee promises that one day , he will build her the theatre at a time when he is n't so involved with the sawmill and finding people jobs . In `` A Gentle Heart , '' Lee is injured . Thinking Lee is asleep , Rosemary pours out her heart to Lee , telling him how afraid she was when she heard he had been injured . He however hears each and every word . She told him how much she loves him and to never leave her . In the episode `` Heartbreak , '' Lee thinks Rosemary may leave Hope Valley when she is offered a movie job in Hollywood . When she gives up the movie , seeing her future in Hope Valley with him , he asks her to marry him . The couple weds in the season 3 finale , `` Prayers From The Heart . '' Jack serves the role of Lee 's best man . Julie Thatcher is Elizabeth 's hopeless romantic younger sister . She often gets herself into sticky situations by falling head over heels for men who are n't quite what they seem . In season 2 she gets involved with Jack 's brother Tom , which causes trouble with her family and for Jack and Elizabeth 's relationship . Cat Montgomery is a kind , encouraging woman in Coal Valley . She is a widow and mother of three : Gabe , Miles , and Emily . Cat was one of the first mothers to show kindness to Elizabeth when she first came . She desperately wants her children to remember the good memories of their father as seen by her self - sacrificing acts in `` Secrets and Lies . '' Possessing a great sense of teamwork and encouragement , Cat supports the women of Coal Valley while working in the mines in `` Cease and Desist . '' She is good friends with Elizabeth and Abigail . In `` These Games , '' she also helps Jack catch a thief . Florence Blakeley is a feisty gossip in Hope Valley . She often has a pessimistic perspective and always seems to find the negative , even in a very positive situation . In `` Heart and Home , '' Abigail told Florence what she really thought about her , which causes Florence to rein in her negativity somewhat , though she remains fairly outspoken . While not always likable , Florence adds spice to life in Hope Valley . Molly Sullivan is a friend of Lee Coulter and Elizabeth Thatcher . Molly 's husband was killed in the mine disaster . She has a daughter Rosaleen . In season 1 's `` A Telling Silence , '' Rosaleen has trouble in school because she misses her father so much . When she runs away , Elizabeth finds her in the mine , feeling guilty that she did n't bring her father his lunch the day of the disaster because she wanted to play with a friend instead . She fears her mother will blame her , but Elizabeth convinces her that Molly will `` say that she loves her more than life itself . '' Molly is reunited with her daughter , to the joy of the town 's people . In season 2 's `` With All My Heart , '' Lee feels it 's time to `` play hard to get '' with Rosemary , so he enlists help from Molly . She pretends to be interested in him romantically . This ploy works and Rosemary admits that she does in fact like him . Molly is a kind woman and was among the first to welcome Elizabeth to town . Clara Stanton is the wife of Abigail 's late son Peter , and is a sweet , quiet , and sensitive young woman . Abigail never knew she had a daughter - in - law until season 2 's `` Trials of the Heart ; '' with Peter having married Clara only three days before he was killed . In `` Heart 's Desire , '' Abigail invites Clara to come live with her in Hope Valley , an offer that Clara accepts . Charles Kensington III is an old friend of Elizabeth with whom she reconnects while in Hamilton . He is interested in her , though her feelings for Jack get in the way of their relationship .

Originally released in 1987 on ZYX Records , then picked up by Polydor Records for a wider release , the song peaked at # 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S. and at # 60 on the UK Singles Chart in England . It fared better in other parts of the world , where the song spent five weeks at # 1 on the ARIA Charts in Australia , from April 13 through May 11 of 1987 . It also topped music charts in Japan and South Africa , and peaked at # 2 and # 7 in Canada and New Zealand respectively . The song also charted at # 6 on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart. Subsequent remixes have appeared on that chart , however , as well as some of Lekakis ' other dance recordings . The song was popular in the LGBT community and helped to establish his career , both as a singer and as an actor . In 1990 , the song was included on Lekakis ' first album , Tattoo It , which was released on Sire Records . `` Boom Boom '' has since been re-released and remixed on multiple occasions , most recently in 2007 for the 20th anniversary of the song . This time , the song had a music video ( since there was none when the single was originally released ) , and it features Lekakis hosting a party with some guests invited into his mansion . In the video , Lekakis is surrounded by scantily clad girls who are clearly the objects of his affection and presented in various sexual scenarios with him . In an interview conducted by Ben Patrick Johnson , from his video blog Life on the Left Coast , Lekakis stated that the 2007 version is the first in which he participated in the remix process , including re-recording his vocals , there is one slight lyrical difference between the 2007 remix and the original song : instead of `` ... coming back to my room for a little boom boom '' , the lyrics in the more recent version are `` ... coming back to my room for another boom boom '' . Although there was no music video for the original release of `` Boom Boom '' , he did lip sync the song on various programs , some of which have been shown on YouTube . In addition , Lekakis appeared in an episode of an MTV program produced by Andy Warhol , Andy Warhol 's Fifteen Minutes , singing the song in 1987 . In 2009 , VH1 ranked `` Boom Boom '' # 83 on its program 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s . In 1992 , the song was covered by Turkish singer Seden Gürel in Turkish as `` Bum Bum '' and in 2001 , was covered by synthpop group Freezepop as `` Seven Boom Medley '' , which combines the song with The Vengaboys ' `` Boom , Boom , Boom , Boom '' .

The Mother (How I Met Your Mother)
The Mother ( How I Met Your Mother ) - wikipedia The Mother ( How I Met Your Mother ) Tracy McConnell How I Met Your Mother character The Mother appearing in `` The Locket '' First appearance `` Lucky Penny ( unseen ) '' `` Something New '' ( seen ) Last appearance `` Last Forever '' Created by Carter Bays Craig Thomas Portrayed by Cristin Milioti Information Aliases The Mother Gender Female Spouse ( s ) Ted Mosby Significant other ( s ) Max ( deceased former boyfriend ) Louis ( ex-boyfriend ) Children Penny Mosby ( daughter , born in 2015 , played by Lyndsy Fonseca ) Luke Mosby ( son , born in 2017 , played by David Henrie ) Nationality American Birthdate September 19 , 1984 ( 1984 - 09 - 19 ) ( age 33 ) Tracy McConnell ( colloquial : `` The Mother '' ) is the title character from the CBS television sitcom How I Met Your Mother . The show , narrated by Future Ted ( Bob Saget ) , tells the story of how Ted Mosby ( Josh Radnor ) met The Mother . Tracy McConnell appears in eight episodes , from `` Lucky Penny '' to `` The Time Travelers '' , as an unseen character ; she was first seen fully in `` Something New '' and was promoted to a main character in season 9 . The Mother is played by Cristin Milioti . The story of how Ted met The Mother is the framing device behind the series ; many facts about her are revealed throughout the series , including the fact that Ted once unwittingly owned her umbrella before accidentally leaving it behind in her apartment . Ted and The Mother meet at the Farhampton train station following Barney Stinson ( Neil Patrick Harris ) and Robin Scherbatsky 's ( Cobie Smulders ) wedding ; this scene is shown in `` Last Forever '' , the series finale . The Mother 's death from an unspecified terminal illness in 2024 , also revealed in the series finale , received a mixed reaction from fans . An alternate ending was released in the ninth season DVD . In the alternate ending , Tracy Mosby is still living when Ted is telling the story in 2030 . In the video , Future Ted is heard saying , `` ... When I think how lucky I am to wake up next to your mom every morning , I ca n't help but be amazed how easy it all really was ... '' , indirectly stating that The Mother is alive . The video ends right after the train passes at Farhampton station and credits start rolling , implying that Ted never went back to Robin and went on to have a long , happy marriage with Tracy . Contents ( hide ) 1 Casting 2 Character history 2.1 Name 3 Death 4 Notes 5 References Casting ( edit ) During its first eight seasons , the successful sitcom How I Met Your Mother often hinted at the unseen character of The Mother . Well - known actresses often made guest appearances on the show . Many fans expected that another would play one of the most - wanted roles in Hollywood , but creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas wanted an unknown . Using Anne Hathaway and Amy Adams as examples , Thomas said that `` We did n't want it to be a big famous star because we did n't want the wider audience to have associations with whatever actress this would be ... The whole idea is that Ted 's never seen this woman before , so it better feel that way to the audience '' , similar to how Cobie Smulders being cast as Robin Scherbatsky had `` kept the show alive '' when it began . Bays and Thomas also did not want a large casting call . They chose Cristin Milioti after seeing her on 30 Rock and Once ; her musical ability was also helpful , as The Mother had been described as a band member . After competing for the role against at least two others , Milioti filmed her first scene -- for the last episode of season 8 -- having never watched How I Met Your Mother ; she recalled , `` I had ignorance on my side . So I did n't know what it meant . '' Milioti learned of the character 's importance only after binge watching the show during the summer . Character history ( edit ) The Mother was born on September 19 , 1984 . The Mother , joined by her roommate Kelly ( Ahna O'Reilly ) , awaits the arrival of her boyfriend Max , only to receive a call informing her of his death . After the funeral service , she returns to the apartment to open Max 's last gift to her -- a ukulele . The Mother spends the next few years grieving the passing of the man she believes was her one true love . In `` Wait for It '' , it is revealed that the short story of how they met involved her yellow umbrella . In `` No Tomorrow '' , Ted finds the umbrella at a club and takes it home after attending a St. Patrick 's Day party which she also attended , as it had been two and a half years since Max 's death . She is still grieving , but Kelly encourages her to go out and date again , bringing her to the same bar where Barney Stinson ( Neil Patrick Harris ) and Ted are celebrating . The two women run into Mitch ( Adam Paul ) , her old orchestra instructor ; The Mother offers to give Mitch her cello for his work at a school and they head to her apartment . Mitch tries to seduce her with a move called `` The Naked Man '' , but she turns him down . Whilst Mitch is still naked , prompting the Mother to crack some jokes at him , they sit on her couch and start talking . That is when Mitch encourages her to pursue her dreams . The Mother expresses her desire to end poverty by taking up economics in college . On his first day of teaching as Professor Mosby , as seen in the season 4 finale `` The Leap '' , he is seen in front of the classroom of students , one of which Future Ted says is the titular mother . But in the first episode of season 5 , `` Definitions '' , it is revealed that he was actually in the wrong classroom -- Economics instead of Architecture . At the same time in `` How Your Mother Met Me '' , the Mother sits her first session in Economics 305 and meets another graduate student named Cindy ( Rachel Bilson ) , whom she offers to move in with her as her roommate . They see Ted enter the room , but when he announces the subject , The Mother thinks she is in the wrong room and runs off . She heads back to the room after seeing Ted scramble to his actual classroom . Later , in `` Girls Versus Suits '' , Ted dates Cindy , not knowing that her roommate is his future wife . Throughout the episode , Ted notes that Cindy had spent most of their first date talking jealously about her roommate . When in Cindy and the mother 's apartment he picks up many of The Mother 's belongings , attempting to show how compatible he and Cindy are ( thinking the items are Cindy 's ) and glimpses the mother 's foot as she disappears into her room after taking a shower . Ted finds out at this time that she plays bass guitar in a band . Ted forgets to take the yellow umbrella with him when he goes out and Future Ted mentions , `` this is how your mother got her yellow umbrella back . '' In `` How Your Mother Met Me '' , it is revealed that , after Ted left the apartment , the Mother had discovered the umbrella and , upon going to question Cindy , finds her in a state . As she tried to console her , Cindy said that she was a much better match for Ted , and began to lovingly list all of the reasons that Ted would find the mother attractive , before spontaneously kissing her , revealing that her jealousy towards her roommate was actually a crush . While this incident made Cindy realise that she is a lesbian , it also made the Mother decide to go back into dating , as the kiss was her first in a long time . Some time after this , a man named Darren ( Andrew Rannells ) approaches The Mother and is welcomed into her band named Superfreakonomics . Darren gradually takes over the band . In the season 6 opener `` Big Days '' it is revealed Ted meets his future wife `` the day of '' the wedding at which he is the best man . In the episode `` False Positive '' Robin asks Ted to be her future best man , should she ever get married . In the episode `` Challenge Accepted '' , it is revealed that Ted meets the mother of his children the day of Barney 's wedding . In the last episode of season 7 , `` The Magician 's Code '' it is shown that Barney will marry Robin , and Ted will meet the mother `` the day of '' their wedding . On the premiere of season 8 , Ted 's wife appears after Barney and Robin 's wedding , outside at the `` Farhampton '' station while holding a yellow umbrella and her bass guitar . In the season 8 episode `` Band or DJ ? , '' Ted runs into Cindy and her partner on the subway and tells them that the band Barney and Robin hired to play at their wedding cancelled at the last minute . The end result of the encounter is that Cindy 's ( now ex - ) roommate 's band plays at Barney and Robin 's wedding . The Mother is first shown meeting Louis ( Louis Ferrigno Jr . ) in `` How Your Mother Met Me '' as she is left to carry the band equipment while the now - lead band member Darren talks to his fans . Later at MacLaren 's Pub , she tells him she 's not yet ready to date . Louis asks her to give him a call if she changes her mind , and they begin dating not long after . They live together for the next two years , but she knows deep down that she does n't love him . The Mother meets all of Ted 's best friends - Barney , Robin , Lily Aldrin ( Alyson Hannigan ) , and Marshall Eriksen ( Jason Segel ) - before she meets him . The Mother is responsible for convincing Barney to pursue Robin , as revealed through a flashback in `` Platonish '' . In `` The Locket '' , Tracy meets Lily on a train journey . In `` Bass Player Wanted '' , the Mother picks up a hitchhiking Marshall , carrying his infant son Marvin , on her way to Farhampton Inn . On their way , it is revealed that the Mother is a bass player in the band that is scheduled to play at the wedding reception , but Darren forced her to quit . The Mother ultimately decides to confront Darren and retake the band . Before she , however , Darren walks up to her , furious the groom 's best man punched him for `` no reason '' , and quits the band . In `` How Your Mother Met Me '' , it is shown that after this incident , the Mother returns to Louis ' summer cottage not far from the Farhampton Inn where she has been staying for the duration of the wedding weekend . As she walks in the door , Louis proposes to her , but she goes outside to think about it for a few minutes . She looks skyward and asks Max for permission to let him go and move on ; she takes a sudden gust of wind as a `` yes '' , says goodbye , and declines Louis ' proposal when she goes back inside . She leaves his cottage and checks in at Farhampton Inn . On her room 's balcony , she plays the ukulele and sings `` La Vie en Rose '' . Ted hears her singing from his room next door . In `` Gary Blauman '' , Ted and the Mother are on their first date . Ted picks her up at her New York City apartment and they proceed to walk to a Scottish - Mexican fusion restaurant for dinner . On the way there , Ted is telling her a story when they nearly have a run - in with Louis . She says that she is in the `` weirdest place on earth '' right now and that it is too soon for her to be dating . Ted walks her back to her apartment . They say goodnight and Ted begins to walk away . The Mother then stops him and asks him to finish the story he was telling her . When the story is over , they say goodnight again . The Mother takes a step towards Ted and they kiss for the first time , before deciding to carry on their date . In a flashforward in `` The Lighthouse '' , Ted proposes to the Mother at the top of the lighthouse near Farhampton Inn . She immediately accepts . In another flashfoward in `` Unpause '' , the Mother is revealed to be pregnant with their second child , Luke , in the year 2017 . She goes into labor while she and Ted are staying at Farhampton . Name ( edit ) The Mother 's real name is not revealed until the series finale , `` Last Forever '' . When Ted meets her at the Farhampton train station , she reveals that her name is Tracy McConnell . In the season 1 episode `` Belly Full of Turkey '' , Ted meets a stripper named Tracy and says `` ... that , kids , is the true story of how I met your mother '' . The children are horrified , but then he says he is joking , which led some fans to correctly guess that The Mother 's name is Tracy . Death ( edit ) See also : Last Forever In the series finale , it is revealed that six years prior to Ted telling the story to his children , Tracy died in 2024 from an undisclosed illness . In the finale the characters do not directly state that the mother is dead . Ted says that she `` became sick '' and his children said that she has been `` gone '' for six years . Many fans expressed considerable disappointment to The Mother 's death . Milioti cried when she learned her character was supposed to die , but came to accept the ending was what the writers had planned from the beginning . Bill Kuchman from Popculturology said that The Mother was `` an amazing character '' and that `` over the course of this final season HIMYM made us care about Tracy . Kuchman said that `` asking fans to drop all of that with a simple line about The Mother getting sick and passing away was a very difficult request '' , that the finale `` advanced too quickly '' and that `` HIMYM was a victim of its own success on this issue '' . A petition was started , aiming to rewrite and reshoot the finale . The petition has over 20,000 signatures and considerable online news coverage . On April 5 , 2014 , Carter Bays announced on Twitter that an alternate ending would be included on the Season 9 DVD . No new material was shot for this scene . In the alternate ending , The Mother is still living when Ted is telling the story in 2030 . Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ The Mother celebrates her 21st birthday on the day that `` Pilot '' is set .

This is the first tournament since 1994 in which no games were played in an NFL stadium , as the Alamodome is a college football stadium , although the Alamodome hosted some home games for the New Orleans Saints during their 2005 season . The 2018 tournament featured three new arenas in previous host cities . Philips Arena , the home of the Atlanta Hawks and replacement for the previously used Omni Coliseum , hosted the South regional games , and the new Little Caesars Arena , home of the Detroit Pistons and Detroit Red Wings , hosted games . And for the first time since 1994 , the tournament returned to Wichita and the state of Kansas where Intrust Bank Arena hosted first round games . The state of North Carolina was threatened with a 2018 - 2022 championship venue boycott by the NCAA , due to the HB2 law passed in 2016 . However , the law was repealed ( but with provisos ) days before the NCAA met to make decisions on venues in April 2017 . At that time , the NCAA board of governors `` reluctantly voted to allow consideration of championship bids in North Carolina by our committees that are presently meeting '' . Therefore , Charlotte was eligible and served as a first weekend venue for the 2018 tournament . Qualification and Selection ( edit ) Further information : 2018 NCAA Division I Men 's Basketball Tournament : qualifying teams Four teams , out of 351 in Division I , were ineligible to participate in the 2018 tournament due to failing to meet APR requirements : Alabama A&M , Grambling State , Savannah State , and Southeast Missouri State . However , the NCAA granted the Savannah State Tigers a waiver which would have allowed the team to participate in the tournament , but the team failed to qualify . Automatic qualifiers ( edit ) The following 32 teams were automatic qualifiers for the 2018 NCAA field by virtue of winning their conference 's automatic bid .

The Pac - 12 lost all of its teams after the first day of the main tournament draw , marking the first time since the Big 12 began play in 1996 that one of the six major conferences -- defined as the ACC , Big Ten , Big 12 , Pac - 12 , SEC , and both versions of the Big East -- failed to have a team advance to the tournament 's round of 32 . Media coverage ( edit ) Television ( edit ) CBS Sports and Turner Sports had U.S. television rights to the Tournament under the NCAA March Madness brand . As part of a cycle beginning in 2016 , TBS held the rights to the Final Four and to the championship game . Additionally , TBS held the rights to the 2018 Selection Show , which returned to a two - hour format , was presented in front of a studio audience , and promoted that the entire field of the tournament would be unveiled within the first ten minutes of the broadcast . The broadcast was heavily criticized for its quality ( including technical problems and an embedded product placement segment for Pizza Hut ) , as well as initially unveiling the 68 - team field in alphabetical order ( beginning with automatic qualifiers , followed by the at - large teams ) rather than unveiling the matchups region - by - region ( which was criticized for having less suspense than the traditional format ) .

After Magellan was killed by people of the Philippines Lapu - Lapu on 27 April 1521 , the circumnavigation was completed under the command of the Basque Spanish seafarer Juan Sebastián Elcano who returned to Sanlúcar de Barrameda , Spain , on 6 September 1522 , after a journey of 3 years and 1 month . These men were the first to circumnavigate the globe in a single expedition . The survivors of García Jofre de Loaísa 's Spanish expedition 1525 -- 1536 including Andrés de Urdaneta ; westward from Spain . None of Loaísa 's seven ships completed the voyage , but Santa María de la Victoria reached the Moluccas before being wrecked in a Portuguese attack . Successive chiefs of the expedition ( Loaísa , Elcano , Salazar , Iñiguez , De la Torre ) died during the voyages . Andrés de Urdaneta and other fellow men survived , reaching the Spice Islands in 1526 , to be taken prisoner by the Portuguese . Urdaneta and a few of his men returned to Spain in 1536 aboard Portuguese ships via India , the Cape of Good Hope and Portugal , and completed the second world circumnavigation in history . Francis Drake ; 1577 -- 1580 ; westward from England ; in Golden Hind ; discovered the Drake Passage but entered the Pacific via the Strait of Magellan ; first English circumnavigation and the second carried out in a single expedition .

Thomas Cavendish ; 1586 -- 1588 ; westward from England ; in Desire . Martín Ignacio de Loyola ; 1585 -- 1589 ; eastward from Spain ( via Macau , China , and Acapulco , Mexico ) ; First person to circumnavigate the world twice , first one to circumnavigate eastwards and both westwards and eastwards ( 1580 -- 1584 westward and 1585 -- 1589 eastward ) , and first to use overland routes in his circumnavigation . João da Gama ; 1584 ( or 1585 ) -- 1590 ; eastward from Portugal ; from Lisbon to India , Malacca , Macau ( China ) and Japan . Gama crossed the Pacific at a higher northern latitude ; was taken prisoner in Mexico and carried in Spanish ships to the Iberian Peninsula .

Francesco Carletti ; Florentine merchant ; 1594 -- 1602 ; westward from Italy ; travelled across the American continent overland , through Panama . All Carletti 's other travel was by sea until he ended in the Netherlands ; he travelled from there overland back to Italy . Carletti was perhaps the first to travel all legs as a passenger , not as a ship 's officer or a crew member . Carletti described his journey in his autobiography , `` My Voyage Around the World '' , translated into various languages . Joris van Spilbergen ; 1614 -- 1617 ; westward from Holland . Willem Schouten and Jacob Le Maire ; 1615 -- 1617 ; westward from Holland ; in Eendraght ; Discovered Cape Horn and the first expedition to enter the Pacific via the Drake Passage .

Fictional circumnavigations ( edit ) Jules Verne 's 1872 adventure novel , Around the World in Eighty Days describes a fictional circumnavigation . Upper class Englishman Phileas Fogg and his servant Passepartout use a variety of transportation means and ingenuity to accomplish the adventurous feat . The book is a tribute to the new transportation possibilities of the early Industrial Revolution , with the coming of steamships , railways , etc. , before which a year was a more probable time for a circumnavigation . British actor Michael Palin attempted in 1988 to follow the route as closely as possible in his television series Around the World in 80 Days .

It was founded in 1805 and is the first and oldest art museum and art school in the United States . The academy 's museum is internationally known for its collections of 19th - and 20th - century American paintings , sculptures , and works on paper . Its archives house important materials for the study of American art history , museums , and art training .

The growth of the Academy of Fine Arts was slow . For many years it held its exhibitions in an 1806 building , designed by John Dorsey with pillars of the Ionic order . It stood on the site of the later American Theater at Chestnut and 10th streets . The academy opened as a museum in 1807 and held its first exhibition in 1811 , where more than 500 paintings and statues were displayed . The first school classes held in the building were with the Society of Artists in 1810 . The Academy had to be reconstructed after the fire of 1845 . Some 23 years later , leaders of the academy raised funds to construct a building more worthy of its treasures . They commissioned the current Furness - Hewitt building , which was constructed from 1871 . It opened as part of the 1876 Philadelphia Exposition . In 1876 , former Academy student and artist Thomas Eakins returned to teach as a volunteer . Fairman Rogers , chairman of the Committee on Instruction from 1878 to 1883 , made him a faculty member in 1878 , and promoted him to director in 1882 . Eakins revamped the certificate curriculum to what it used to be today . Students in the certificate program learned fundamentals of drawing , painting , sculpture , and printmaking ( relief , intaglio , and lithography ) for two years . For the next two years , they had conducted independent study , guided by frequent critiques from faculty , students , and visiting artists . From 1811 to 1969 , the Academy organized important annual art exhibitions , from which the museum made significant acquisitions . Harrison S. Morris , Managing Director from 1892 to 1905 , collected contemporary American art for the institution . Among the many masterpieces acquired during his tenure were works by Cecilia Beaux , William Merritt Chase , Frank Duveneck , Thomas Eakins , Winslow Homer , Childe Hassam , and Edmund Tarbell . Work by The Eight , which included former Academy students Robert Henri and John Sloan , is well represented in the collection . It provides a transition between 19th - and 20th - century art movements . From 1890 to 1906 , Edward Hornor Coates served as the tenth president of the Academy . In 1915 , Coates was awarded the Academy 's gold medal . Painter John McLure Hamilton , who began his art education at the Academy under Thomas Eakins , in 1921 described the contributions Coates made during his tenure : The reign of Mr. Coates at the Academy marked the period of its greatest prosperity . Rich endowments were made to the schools , a gallery of national portraiture was formed , and some of the best examples of Gilbert Stuart 's work acquired . The annual exhibitions attained a brilliancy and éclat hitherto unknown ... Mr. Coates wisely established the schools upon a conservative basis , building almost unconsciously the dykes high against the oncoming flow of insane novelties in art patterns ... In this last struggle against modernism the President was ably supported by Eakins , Anschutz , Grafly , ( Henry Joseph ) Thouron , Vonnoh , and Chase ... His unfailing courtesy , his disinterested thoughtfulness , his tactfulness , and his modesty endeared him to scholars and masters alike . No sacrifice of time or of means was too great , if he thought he could accomplish the end he always had in view -- the honour and the glory of the Academy . It was under Mr. Coates ' enlightened direction that was fulfilled the expressed wish of Benjamin West , the first honorary Academician , that `` Philadelphia may be as much celebrated for her galleries of paintings by the native genius of the country , as she is distinguished by the virtues of her people ; and that she may be looked up to as the Athens of the Western World in all that can give polish to the human mind . '' During World War I , Academy students were actively involved in war work . `` About sixty percent of the young men enlisted or entered Government service , and probably all of the young women and all the rest of the young men were directly or indirectly engaged in war work . '' A war service club was formed by students and a monthly publication , The Academy Fling , was sent to service members . George Harding , a former PAFA student , was commissioned captain during the war and created official combat sketches for the American Expeditionary Forces . Women at the Academy ( edit ) The 1844 Board of Directors ' declaration that women artists `` would have exclusive use of the statue gallery for professional purposes '' and study time in the museum on Monday , Wednesday , and Friday mornings signified a significant advance towards formal training in art for women . Prior to the founding of the Academy , there were limited opportunities for women to receive professional art training in the United States . This period between the mid-19th and early 20th centuries shows a remarkable growth of formally trained women artists . By 1860 female students were allowed to take anatomy and antique courses , drawing from antique casts . In addition , women enjoyed their newly acquired library and gallery access . Life classes , the study of the nude body , were available to women in the spring of 1868 with female models ; male models were added for study six years later . This came after much debate on whether it was appropriate for women to view the nude male form . It took 24 years before women could take full advantage of all aspects of training at the prestigious institution . After 1868 women took more active leadership roles and achieved influential positions . For example , in 1878 Catherine Drinker , at the age of 27 , became the first woman to teach at the academy . One of her pupils , her younger cousin Cecilia Beaux , would leave a lasting legacy at the academy as the first female faculty member to instruct painting and drawing , beginning in 1895 . By the 1880s women artists competed with men for top accolades and recognition . Not until much later , however , did the academy gain its first woman on the Board of Directors in 1950 . Even as women artists were making progress in the United States , they had difficulty studying in Europe . Women who chose to travel overseas typically studied the works of master artists in the galleries , not in classes . In this regard , the U.S. was more progressive than Europe at the time . In 2010 , The Academy acquired the Linda Lee Alter Collection of Art by Women , nearly 500 works by female artists , from collector Linda Lee Alter . Artists in the collection include those of international renown , such as Louise Bourgeois , Judy Chicago , Louise Nevelson , Kiki Smith and Kara Walker , as well renowned Philadelphia artists including Elizabeth Osborne . In 2012 , The Academy featured the collection in the exhibition The Female Gaze : Women Artists Making Their World . Further information : Mary Smith Prize An exhibition space within the Academy The Academy today ( edit ) The museum ( edit ) Since its founding , the Academy has collected works by leading American artists , as well as works by distinguished alumni and faculty of its school . Today , the Academy maintains its collecting tradition with the inclusion of works by modern and contemporary American artists . Acquisitions and exhibition programs are balanced between historical and contemporary art , and the museum continues to show works by contemporary regional artists and features annual displays of work by Academy students . The collection is installed in a chronological and thematic format , exploring the history of American art from the 1760s to the present . The school ( edit ) The Academy was well known for its longstanding 4 - year Certificate Program . Since 1929 , qualified students were able to apply for and receive a coordinated Bachelor of Fine Arts program at the University of Pennsylvania . Another BFA degree program is offered exclusively in - house ( a recent addition ) its Master of Fine Arts program , a Post Baccalaureate Certificate in Graduate Studies , and extensive continuing education offerings , as well as programs for children and families . In 2005 , the Academy received the National Medal of Arts recognizing it as a leader in fine arts education . In January 2007 , the Academy , in association with the Philadelphia Museum of Art , purchased Thomas Eakins 's work The Gross Clinic from the Jefferson Medical School . This seminal American work will be displayed at both institutions on a rotating basis . In January 2009 , PAFA signed a historic transfer agreement with Camden County College , New Jersey . The `` Camden Connection '' allows for the transfer of liberal arts and studio classes as well as providing , on a competitive basis , for partial merit scholarships specifically for Camden County College students . Other transfer agreements are now in place with the following community college art departments : Community College of Philadelphia , Montgomery County Community College , Atlantic Cape Community College , and Northampton Community College . In 2013 , PAFA received Middle States Commission for Higher Education ( MSCHED ) accreditation . PAFA had offered a major in the Certificate and the Bachelor of Fine Arts Program . Starting in Summer 2015 , PAFA began offering a low - residency Master of Fine Arts program . Since Fall 2015 , PAFA offers courses in fine arts illustration , which complements painting , drawing , printmaking , and sculpture courses . Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts ( c. 1895 ) A detail of the north ( Cherry Street ) face of the building The Cherry Street walkway between the Furness - Hewitt building ( left ) and the Hamilton Building ( right ) , with sculpture installations Buildings ( edit ) The Furness - Hewitt building ( edit ) The current museum building began construction in 1871 and opened in 1876 in connection with the Philadelphia Centennial . Designed by the American architects Frank Furness and George Hewitt , it has been called `` One of the most magnificent Victorian buildings in the country . '' The building 's facade draws from a number of different historical styles , including Second Empire , Renaissance Revival and Gothic Revival , amalgamated in an `` aggressively personal manner '' . The building 's exterior coloration combines `` rusticated brownstone , dressed sandstone , polished pink granite , red pressed brick , and purplish terra - cotta . '' The inside of the building is equally varied , combining `` gilt floral patterns incised on a field of Venetian red ; ... ( a ) cerulean blue ceiling sprinkled with silver stars '' , and plum , ochre , sand and olive green gallery walls . The building 's structure combines brick , stone and iron ; because of fire - proofing concerns , some of the iron i - beams were left uncovered . 1876 opening notes : The newly - built Academy of Fine Arts will bear comparison with any institution of its kind in America . It has a front of one hundred feet on Broad Street and a depth of two hundred and fifty - eight feet on Cherry Street . Its situation , with a street on each of its three sides , and an open space along a considerable portion of the fourth , is very advantageous as regards lighting , and freedom from risk by fire . It is built of brick , the principal entrance , which is two stories high , being augmented with encaustic tiles , terra - cotta statuary , and light stone dressings . The walls are laid in patterns of red and white brick . Over the main entrance on Broad Street there is a large Gothic window with stone tracery . The Cherry Street front is relieved by a colonnade supporting arched windows , back of which is the transept and pointed gable . Beyond the entrance vestibule is the main staircase , which starts from a wide hall and leads to the galleries on the second floor . Along the Cherry Street side of the Academy are five galleries arranged for casts from the antique ; and , further on , are rooms for drapery painting , and the life class . These have a clear north light which can never be obstructed . On the south side , there is a large lecture room , with retiring rooms , and back of these are the modeling rooms and rooms devoted to the use of students and professors . On the second floor is the main hall , which extends across the building , and is intended for the exhibition of large works of art . This story is divided into galleries , which are lighted from the top . Through the center runs a hall which is set apart for the exhibition of statuary , busts , small statues , bas - reliefs , etc . On each side of this hall are picture galleries , which are so arranged in size and form as to admit of classification of pictures , and which can be divided into suits where separate exhibitions may be held at the same time . The art collections of the gallery are considered the most valuable in America . They comprise the masterpieces of Stuart , Sully , Allston , West , and others of our early artists , the Gilpin gallery , fine marbles , and facsimiles of famous statues , as well as a magnificent gallery from the antique . The Academy building is Furness 's best known work , and served to establish him as one of the country 's top architects . Despite being initially praised by critics , by the turn of the century , tastes had changed and the building was not considered appealing . Eventually , steps were taken to obscure its ornamentation to `` modernize '' it . In the post-World War II era , the building was newly appreciated again , with the growth in the historic preservation movement making people more aware of treasures from the past . The building is now considered a masterpiece , one of the greatest buildings in Philadelphia and arguably Furness 's greatest work . The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1975 . In 1976 the building was fully restored , both its interiors and exteriors , to coincide with its centennial and with the United States bicentennial . The restoration work was conducted through Day and Zimmerman Associates , and headed by Human Myers . Samuel M.V. Hamilton building ( edit ) In 2002 , Dorrance H. Hamilton made a large donation to the Academy for its expansion . It purchased the former automobile factory at 128 N. Broad Street , immediately adjacent to the original building . This had also been adapted for use as a federal office building for some years . The structure was renamed in memory of her husband , Samuel M.V. Hamilton . It was renovated and the School of Fine Arts of the Academy completed its move there in September 2006 . The building also contains a special exhibition space called the Fisher Brooks Gallery , named after James R. Fisher , an artist who attended PAFA in the late 1880s , and Leonie Brooks . They are the grandfather and mother , respectively , of Marguerite Lenfest , a philanthropist and PAFA board member . The Hamilton building also houses Portfolio , the museum 's gift shop .

Beck Gold Medal was awarded to the best portrait by an American artist exhibited at PAFA 's annual exhibition . It was awarded from 1909 to 1968 . Mary Smith Prize ( defunct ) ( edit ) see main page Mary Smith Prize The Mary Smith Prize was awarded to `` the Painter of the best painting ( not excluding portraits ) exhibiting at the Academy , painted by a resident woman Artist . '' It was awarded from 1879 to 1968 . Temple Gold Medal ( defunct ) ( edit ) see main page Temple Gold Medal The Joseph Temple Fund Gold Medal was awarded to the best oil painting by an American artist exhibited at PAFA 's annual exhibition . It was awarded from 1883 to 1968 . Widener Gold Medal ( edit ) see main page Widener Gold Medal The Academy established the George D. Widener Gold Medal for sculpture in 1912 . Widener was a businessman and director of the Academy who died on the RMS Titanic . The award recognizes the `` most meritorious work of Sculpture modeled by an American citizen and shown in the Annual Exhibition '' . Deaccessioning ( edit ) In 2013 , the Academy put up for sale East Wind Over Weehawken ( 1934 ) , one of two Edward Hopper paintings in its collection , to start an endowment fund to buy contemporary art . About 25 percent of the endowment will be dedicated to filling gaps in the collection of historic art , but approximately three quarters of new investments are planned to be in contemporary art of undetermined value with hopes for dramatic increases in the future . The painting was sold at auction for $40,485,000 . This added significantly to the museum 's then - current endowment of approximately $23.5 million , but raised new questions about the museum 's mission and whether such deaccessionings are in the public interest .

The official symbol ( BRCA1 , italic for the gene , nonitalic for the protein ) and the official name ( breast cancer 1 ) are maintained by the HGNC . Orthologs , styled Brca1 and Brca1 , are common in other mammal species . BRCA1 is a human tumor suppressor gene ( to be specific , a caretaker gene ) , found in all humans ; its protein , also called by the synonym breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein , is responsible for repairing DNA . BRCA1 and BRCA2 are normally expressed in the cells of breast and other tissue , where they help repair damaged DNA , or destroy cells if DNA can not be repaired . They are involved in the repair of chromosomal damage with an important role in the error - free repair of DNA double - strand breaks . If BRCA1 or BRCA2 itself is damaged by a BRCA mutation , damaged DNA is not repaired properly , and this increases the risk for breast cancer . BRCA1 and BRCA2 have been described as `` breast cancer susceptibility genes '' and `` breast cancer susceptibility proteins '' . The predominate allele has a normal , tumor suppressive function whereas high penetrance mutations in these genes cause a loss of tumor suppressive function which correlates with an increased risk of breast cancer . BRCA1 combines with other tumor suppressors , DNA damage sensors and signal transducers to form a large multi-subunit protein complex known as the BRCA1 - associated genome surveillance complex ( BASC ) . The BRCA1 protein associates with RNA polymerase II , and through the C - terminal domain , also interacts with histone deacetylase complexes . Thus , this protein plays a role in transcription , DNA repair of double - strand breaks ubiquitination , transcriptional regulation as well as other functions . Methods to test for the likelihood of a patient with mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 developing cancer were covered by patents owned or controlled by Myriad Genetics . Myriad 's business model of offering the diagnostic test exclusively led from Myriad being a startup in 1994 to being a publicly traded company with 1200 employees and about $500 M in annual revenue in 2012 ; it also led to controversy over high prices and the inability to obtain second opinions from other diagnostic labs , which in turn led to the landmark Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics lawsuit .

Four years later , after an international race to find it , the gene was cloned in 1994 by scientists at University of Utah , National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences ( NIEHS ) and Myriad Genetics . Gene location ( edit ) The human BRCA1 gene is located on the long ( q ) arm of chromosome 17 at region 2 band 1 , from base pair 41,196,312 to base pair 41,277,500 ( Build GRCh37 / hg19 ) ( map ) . BRCA1 orthologs have been identified in most mammals for which complete genome data are available . Protein structure ( edit ) The BRCA1 protein contains the following domains : Zinc finger , C3HC4 type ( RING finger ) BRCA1 C Terminus ( BRCT ) domain This protein also contains nuclear localization signal and nuclear export signal motifs . The human BRCA1 protein consists of four major protein domains ; the Znf C3HC4 - RING domain , the BRCA1 serine domain and two BRCT domains . These domains encode approximately 27 % of BRCA1 protein . There are six known isoforms of BRCA1 , with isoforms 1 and 2 comprising 1863 amino acids each . Domain map of BRCA1 ; RING , serine containing domain ( SCD ) , and BRCT domains are indicated . Horizontal black lines indicate protein - binding domains for the listed partners . Red circles mark phosphorylation sites . Zinc RING finger domain ( edit ) The RING motif , a Zn finger found in eukaryotic peptides , is 40 -- 60 amino acids long and consists of eight conserved metal - binding residues , two quartets of cysteine or histidine residues that coordinate two zinc atoms . This motif contains a short anti-parallel beta - sheet , two zinc - binding loops and a central alpha helix in a small domain . This RING domain interacts with associated proteins , including BARD1 , which also contains a RING motif , to form a heterodimer . The BRCA1 RING motif is flanked by alpha helices formed by residues 8 -- 22 and 81 -- 96 of the BRCA1 protein . It interacts with a homologous region in BARD1 also consisting of a RING finger flanked by two alpha - helices formed from residues 36 -- 48 and 101 -- 116 . These four helices combine to form a heterodimerization interface and stabilise the BRCA1 - BARD1 heterodimer complex . Additional stabilisation is achieved by interactions between adjacent residues in the flanking region and hydrophobic interactions . The BARD1 / BRCA1 interaction is disrupted by tumorigenic amino acid substitutions in BRCA1 , implying that the formation of a stable complex between these proteins may be an essential aspect of BRCA1 tumor suppression . The ring domain is an important element of ubiquitin E3 ligases , which catalyse protein ubiquitination . Ubiquitin is a small regulatory protein found in all tissues that directs proteins to compartments within the cell . BRCA1 polypeptides , in particular Lys - 48 - linked polyubiquitin chains are dispersed throughout the resting cell nucleus , but at the start of DNA replication they gather in restrained groups that also contain BRCA2 and BARD1 . BARD1 is thought to be involved in the recognition and binding of protein targets for ubiquitination . It attaches to proteins and labels them for destruction . Ubiquitination occurs via the BRCA1 fusion protein and is abolished by zinc chelation . The enzyme activity of the fusion protein is dependent on the proper folding of the ring domain . Serine cluster domain ( edit ) BRCA1 serine cluster domain ( SCD ) spans amino acids 1280 -- 1524 . A portion of the domain is located in exons 11 -- 13 . High rates of mutation occur in exons 11 -- 13 . Reported phosphorylation sites of BRCA1 are concentrated in the SCD , where they are phosphorylated by ATM / ATR kinases both in vitro and in vivo . ATM / ATR are kinases activated by DNA damage . Mutation of serine residues may affect localization of BRCA1 to sites of DNA damage and DNA damage response function . BRCT domains ( edit ) The dual repeat BRCT domain of the BRCA1 protein is an elongated structure approximately 70 Å long and 30 -- 35 Å wide . The 85 -- 95 amino acid domains in BRCT can be found as single modules or as multiple tandem repeats containing two domains . Both of these possibilities can occur in a single protein in a variety of different conformations . The C - terminal BRCT region of the BRCA1 protein is essential for repair of DNA , transcription regulation and tumor suppressor function . In BRCA1 the dual tandem repeat BRCT domains are arranged in a head - to - tail - fashion in the three - dimensional structure , burying 1600 Å of hydrophobic , solvent - accessible surface area in the interface . These all contribute to the tightly packed knob - in - hole structure that comprises the interface . These homologous domains interact to control cellular responses to DNA damage . It is , therefore , no surprise that a missense mutation at the interface of these two proteins can have devastating consequences on the cell cycle , resulting in protein dysfunction and a greater risk of developing cancer . The link that joins these two homologs also needs to be considered , since its poorly defined electron density alludes to a possible complex function ; the ability to flex . Function and mechanism ( edit ) BRCA1 is part of a complex that repairs double - strand breaks in DNA . The strands of the DNA double helix are continuously breaking as they become damaged . Sometimes only one strand is broken , sometimes both strands are broken simultaneously . DNA cross-linking agents are an important source of chromosome / DNA damage . Double - strand breaks occur as intermediates after the crosslinks are removed , and indeed , biallelic mutations in BRCA1 have been identified to be responsible for Fanconi Anemia , Complementation Group S , a genetic disease associated with hypersensitivity to DNA crosslinking agents . BRCA1 is part of a protein complex that repairs DNA when both strands are broken . When this happens , it is difficult for the repair mechanism to `` know '' how to replace the correct DNA sequence , and there are multiple ways to attempt the repair . The double - strand repair mechanism in which BRCA1 participates is homologous recombination , where the repair proteins utilize a template of the identical homologous intact sequence from a sister chromatid , from a homologous chromosome , or from the same chromosome ( depending on cell cycle phase ) . This DNA repair takes place with the DNA in the cell nucleus , wrapped around the histone . Several proteins , including BRCA1 , arrive at the histone - DNA complex for this repair . Regulatory aspect to BRCA1 nuclear ⁄ non-nuclear distribution was first shown by the laboratory of Dr Rao in 1997 In the nucleus of many types of normal cells , the BRCA1 protein interacts with RAD51 during repair of DNA double - strand breaks . These breaks can be caused by natural radiation or other exposures , but also occur when chromosomes exchange genetic material ( homologous recombination , e.g. , `` crossing over '' during meiosis ) . The BRCA2 protein , which has a function similar to that of BRCA1 , also interacts with the RAD51 protein . By influencing DNA damage repair , these three proteins play a role in maintaining the stability of the human genome . BRCA1 is also involved in another type of DNA repair , termed mismatch repair . BRCA1 interacts with the DNA mismatch repair protein MSH2 . MSH2 , MSH6 , PARP and some other proteins involved in single - strand repair are reported to be elevated in BRCA1 - deficient mammary tumors . A protein called valosin - containing protein ( VCP , also known as p97 ) plays a role to recruit BRCA1 to the damaged DNA sites . After ionizing radiation , VCP is recruited to DNA lesions and cooperates with the ubiquitin ligase RNF8 to orchestrate assembly of signaling complexes for efficient DSB repair . BRCA1 interacts with VCP . BRCA1 also interacts with c - Myc , and other proteins that are critical to maintain genome stability . BRCA1 directly binds to DNA , with higher affinity for branched DNA structures . This ability to bind to DNA contributes to its ability to inhibit the nuclease activity of the MRN complex as well as the nuclease activity of Mre11 alone . This may explain a role for BRCA1 to promote lower fidelity DNA repair by non-homologous end joining ( NHEJ ) . BRCA1 also colocalizes with γ - H2AX ( histone H2AX phosphorylated on serine - 139 ) in DNA double - strand break repair foci , indicating it may play a role in recruiting repair factors . Formaldehyde and acetaldehyde are common environmental sources of DNA cross links that often require repairs mediated by BRCA1 containing pathways . This DNA repair function is essential ; mice with loss - of - function mutations in both BRCA1 alleles are not viable , and as of 2015 only two adults were known to have loss - of - function mutations in both alleles ; both had congenital or developmental issues , and both had cancer . One was presumed to have survived to adulthood because one of the BRCA1 mutations was hypomorphic . Transcription ( edit ) BRCA1 was shown to co-purify with the human RNA Polymerase II holoenzyme in HeLa extracts , implying it is a component of the holoenzyme . Later research , however , contradicted this assumption , instead showing that the predominant complex including BRCA1 in HeLa cells is a 2 megadalton complex containing SWI / SNF . SWI / SNF is a chromatin remodeling complex . Artificial tethering of BRCA1 to chromatin was shown to decondense heterochromatin , though the SWI / SNF interacting domain was not necessary for this role . BRCA1 interacts with the NELF - B ( COBRA1 ) subunit of the NELF complex . Mutations and cancer risk ( edit ) Further information : BRCA mutation Certain variations of the BRCA1 gene lead to an increased risk for breast cancer as part of a hereditary breast - ovarian cancer syndrome . Researchers have identified hundreds of mutations in the BRCA1 gene , many of which are associated with an increased risk of cancer . Females with an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene have up to an 80 % risk of developing breast cancer by age 90 ; increased risk of developing ovarian cancer is about 55 % for females with BRCA1 mutations and about 25 % for females with BRCA2 mutations . These mutations can be changes in one or a small number of DNA base pairs ( the building - blocks of DNA ) , and can be identified with PCR and DNA sequencing . In some cases , large segments of DNA are rearranged . Those large segments , also called large rearrangements , can be a deletion or a duplication of one or several exons in the gene . Classical methods for mutation detection ( sequencing ) are unable to reveal these types of mutation . Other methods have been proposed : traditional quantitative PCR , Multiplex Ligation - dependent Probe Amplification ( MLPA ) , and Quantitative Multiplex PCR of Short Fluorescent Fragments ( QMPSF ) . Newer methods have also been recently proposed : heteroduplex analysis ( HDA ) by multi-capillary electrophoresis or also dedicated oligonucleotides array based on comparative genomic hybridization ( array - CGH ) . Some results suggest that hypermethylation of the BRCA1 promoter , which has been reported in some cancers , could be considered as an inactivating mechanism for BRCA1 expression . A mutated BRCA1 gene usually makes a protein that does not function properly . Researchers believe that the defective BRCA1 protein is unable to help fix DNA damage leading to mutations in other genes . These mutations can accumulate and may allow cells to grow and divide uncontrollably to form a tumor . Thus , BRCA1 inactivating mutations lead to a predisposition for cancer . BRCA1 mRNA 3 ' UTR can be bound by an miRNA , Mir - 17 microRNA . It has been suggested that variations in this miRNA along with Mir - 30 microRNA could confer susceptibility to breast cancer . In addition to breast cancer , mutations in the BRCA1 gene also increase the risk of ovarian and prostate cancers . Moreover , precancerous lesions ( dysplasia ) within the Fallopian tube have been linked to BRCA1 gene mutations . Pathogenic mutations anywhere in a model pathway containing BRCA1 and BRCA2 greatly increase risks for a subset of leukemias and lymphomas . Females having inherited a defective BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene have risks for breast and ovarian cancer that are so high and seem so selective that many mutation carriers choose to have prophylactic surgery . There has been much conjecture to explain such apparently striking tissue specificity . Major determinants of where BRCA1 / 2 hereditary cancers occur are related to tissue specificity of the cancer pathogen , the agent that causes chronic inflammation or the carcinogen . The target tissue may have receptors for the pathogen , may become selectively exposed to an inflammatory process or to a carcinogen . An innate genomic deficit in a tumor suppressor gene impairs normal responses and exacerbates the susceptibility to disease in organ targets . This theory also fits data for several tumor suppressors beyond BRCA1 or BRCA2 . A major advantage of this model is that it suggests there may be some options in addition to prophylactic surgery . Low expression of BRCA1 in breast and ovarian cancers ( edit ) BRCA1 expression is reduced or undetectable in the majority of high grade , ductal breast cancers . It has long been noted that loss of BRCA1 activity , either by germ - line mutations or by down - regulation of gene expression , leads to tumor formation in specific target tissues . In particular , decreased BRCA1 expression contributes to both sporadic and inherited breast tumor progression . Reduced expression of BRCA1 is tumorigenic because it plays an important role in the repair of DNA damages , especially double - strand breaks , by the potentially error - free pathway of homologous recombination . Since cells that lack the BRCA1 protein tend to repair DNA damages by alternative more error - prone mechanisms , the reduction or silencing of this protein generates mutations and gross chromosomal rearrangements that can lead to progression to breast cancer . Similarly , BRCA1 expression is low in the majority ( 55 % ) of sporadic epithelial ovarian cancers ( EOCs ) where EOCs are the most common type of ovarian cancer , representing approximately 90 % of ovarian cancers . In serous ovarian carcinomas , a sub-category constituting about 2 / 3 of EOCs , low BRCA1 expression occurs in more than 50 % of cases . Bowtell reviewed the literature indicating that deficient homologous recombination repair caused by BRCA1 deficiency is tumorigenic . In particular this deficiency initiates a cascade of molecular events that sculpt the evolution of high - grade serous ovarian cancer and dictate its response to therapy . Especially noted was that BRCA1 deficiency could be the cause of tumorigenesis whether due to BRCA1 mutation or any other event that causes a deficiency of BRCA1 expression . Mutation of BRCA1 in breast and ovarian cancer ( edit ) Only about 3 % -- 8 % of all women with breast cancer carry a mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 . Similarly , BRCA1 mutations are only seen in about 18 % of ovarian cancers ( 13 % germline mutations and 5 % somatic mutations ) . Thus , while BRCA1 expression is low in the majority of these cancers , BRCA1 mutation is not a major cause of reduced expression . BRCA1 promoter hypermethylation in breast and ovarian cancer ( edit ) BRCA1 promoter hypermethylation was present in only 13 % of unselected primary breast carcinomas . Similarly , BRCA1 promoter hypermethylation was present in only 5 % to 15 % of EOC cases . Thus , while BRCA1 expression is low in these cancers , BRCA1 promoter methylation is only a minor cause of reduced expression . MicroRNA repression of BRCA1 in breast cancers ( edit ) There are a number of specific microRNAs , when overexpressed , that directly reduce expression of specific DNA repair proteins ( see MicroRNA section DNA repair and cancer ) In the case of breast cancer , microRNA - 182 ( miR - 182 ) specifically targets BRCA1 . Breast cancers can be classified based on receptor status or histology , with triple - negative breast cancer ( 15 % -- 25 % of breast cancers ) , HER2+ ( 15 % -- 30 % of breast cancers ) , ER+ / PR+ ( about 70 % of breast cancers ) , and Invasive lobular carcinoma ( about 5 % -- 10 % of invasive breast cancer ) . All four types of breast cancer were found to have an average of about 100-fold increase in miR - 182 , compared to normal breast tissue . In breast cancer cell lines , there is an inverse correlation of BRCA1 protein levels with miR - 182 expression . Thus it appears that much of the reduction or absence of BRCA1 in high grade ductal breast cancers may be due to over-expressed miR - 182 . In addition to miR - 182 , a pair of almost identical microRNAs , miR - 146a and miR - 146b - 5p , also repress BRCA1 expression . These two microRNAs are over-expressed in triple - negative tumors and their over-expression results in BRCA1 inactivation . Thus , miR - 146a and / or miR - 146b - 5p may also contribute to reduced expression of BRCA1 in these triple - negative breast cancers . MicroRNA repression of BRCA1 in ovarian cancers ( edit ) In both serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma ( the precursor lesion to high grade serous ovarian carcinoma ( HG - SOC ) ) , and in HG - SOC itself , miR - 182 is overexpressed in about 70 % of cases . In cells with over-expressed miR - 182 , BRCA1 remained low , even after exposure to ionizing radiation ( which normally raises BRCA1 expression ) . Thus much of the reduced or absent BRCA1 in HG - SOC may be due to over-expressed miR - 182 . Another microRNA known to reduce expression of BRCA1 in ovarian cancer cells is miR - 9 . Among 58 tumors from patients with stage IIIC or stage IV serous ovarian cancers ( HG - SOG ) , an inverse correlation was found between expressions of miR - 9 and BRCA1 , so that increased miR - 9 may also contribute to reduced expression of BRCA1 in these ovarian cancers . Deficiency of BRCA1 expression is likely tumorigenic ( edit ) DNA damage appears to be the primary underlying cause of cancer , and deficiencies in DNA repair appears to underlie many forms of cancer . If DNA repair is deficient , DNA damage tends to accumulate . Such excess DNA damage may increase mutational errors during DNA replication due to error - prone translesion synthesis . Excess DNA damage may also increase epigenetic alterations due to errors during DNA repair . Such mutations and epigenetic alterations may give rise to cancer . The frequent microRNA - induced deficiency of BRCA1 in breast and ovarian cancers likely contribute to the progression of those cancers . Germ line mutations and founder effect ( edit ) All germ - line BRCA1 mutations identified to date have been inherited , suggesting the possibility of a large `` founder '' effect in which a certain mutation is common to a well - defined population group and can , in theory , be traced back to a common ancestor . Given the complexity of mutation screening for BRCA1 , these common mutations may simplify the methods required for mutation screening in certain populations . Analysis of mutations that occur with high frequency also permits the study of their clinical expression . Examples of manifestations of a founder effect are seen among Ashkenazi Jews . Three mutations in BRCA1 have been reported to account for the majority of Ashkenazi Jewish patients with inherited BRCA1 - related breast and / or ovarian cancer : 185delAG , 188del11 and 5382insC in the BRCA1 gene . In fact , it has been shown that if a Jewish woman does not carry a BRCA1 185delAG , BRCA1 5382insC founder mutation , it is highly unlikely that a different BRCA1 mutation will be found . Additional examples of founder mutations in BRCA1 are given in Table 1 ( mainly derived from ) . This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness .

This decline is tied to a reduction in the number of ovarian follicles . Although about 1 million oocytes are present at birth in the human ovary , only about 500 ( about 0.05 % ) of these ovulate , and the rest are wasted . The decline in ovarian reserve appears to occur at a constantly increasing rate with age , and leads to nearly complete exhaustion of the reserve by about age 52 . As ovarian reserve and fertility decline with age , there is also a parallel increase in pregnancy failure and meiotic errors , resulting in chromosomally abnormal conceptions . Women with a germ - line BRCA1 mutation appear to have a diminished oocyte reserve and decreased fertility compared to normally aging women . Furthermore , women with an inherited BRCA1 mutation undergo menopause prematurely . Since BRCA1 is a key DNA repair protein , these findings suggest that naturally occurring DNA damages in oocytes are repaired less efficiently in women with a BRCA1 defect , and that this repair inefficiency leads to early reproductive failure . As noted above , the BRCA1 protein plays a key role in homologous recombinational repair . This is the only known cellular process that can accurately repair DNA double - strand breaks . DNA double - strand breaks accumulate with age in humans and mice in primordial follicles . Primordial follicles contain oocytes that are at an intermediate ( prophase I ) stage of meiosis . Meiosis is the general process in eukaryotic organisms by which germ cells are formed , and it is likely an adaptation for removing DNA damages , especially double - strand breaks , from germ line DNA . ( Also see article Meiosis ) . Homologous recombinational repair employing BRCA1 is especially promoted during meiosis . It was found that expression of 4 key genes necessary for homologous recombinational repair of DNA double - strand breaks ( BRCA1 , MRE11 , RAD51 and ATM ) decline with age in the oocytes of humans and mice , leading to the hypothesis that DNA double - strand break repair is necessary for the maintenance of oocyte reserve and that a decline in efficiency of repair with age plays a role in ovarian aging . Cancer chemotherapy ( edit ) Non-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC ) is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide . At diagnosis , almost 70 % of persons with NSCLC have locally advanced or metastatic disease . Persons with NSCLC are often treated with therapeutic platinum compounds ( e.g. cisplatin , carboplatin or oxaliplatin ) that cause inter-strand cross-links in DNA . Among individuals with NSCLC , low expression of BRCA1 in the primary tumor correlated with improved survival after platinum - containing chemotherapy . This correlation implies that low BRCA1 in the cancer , and the consequent low level of DNA repair , causes vulnerability of the cancer to treatment by the DNA cross-linking agents . High BRCA1 may protect cancer cells by acting in a pathway that removes the damages in DNA introduced by the platinum drugs . Thus the level of BRCA1 expression is a potentially important tool for tailoring chemotherapy in lung cancer management . Level of BRCA1 expression is also relevant to ovarian cancer treatment . Patients having sporadic ovarian cancer who were treated with platinum drugs had longer median survival times if their BRCA1 expression was low compared to patients with higher BRCA1 expression ( 46 compared to 33 months ) . Patents , enforcement , litigation , and controversy ( edit ) Main article : Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics A patent application for the isolated BRCA1 gene and cancer promoting mutations discussed above , as well as methods to diagnose the likelihood of getting breast cancer , was filed by the University of Utah , National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences ( NIEHS ) and Myriad Genetics in 1994 ; over the next year , Myriad , ( in collaboration with investigators at Endo Recherche , Inc. , HSC Research & Development Limited Partnership , and University of Pennsylvania ) , isolated and sequenced the BRCA2 gene and identified key mutations , and the first BRCA2 patent was filed in the U.S. by Myriad and other institutions in 1995 . Myriad is the exclusive licensee of these patents and has enforced them in the US against clinical diagnostic labs . This business model led from Myriad being a startup in 1994 to being a publicly traded company with 1200 employees and about $500 M in annual revenue in 2012 ; it also led to controversy over high prices and the inability to get second opinions from other diagnostic labs , which in turn led to the landmark Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics lawsuit . The patents began to expire in 2014 . According to an article published in the journal , Genetic Medicine , in 2010 , `` The patent story outside the United States is more complicated ... For example , patents have been obtained but the patents are being ignored by provincial health systems in Canada . In Australia and the UK , Myriad 's licensee permitted use by health systems , but announced a change of plans in August 2008 . Only a single mutation has been patented in Myriad 's lone European - wide patent , although some patents remain under review of an opposition proceeding . In effect , the United States is the only jurisdiction where Myriad 's strong patent position has conferred sole - provider status . '' Peter Meldrum , CEO of Myriad Genetics , has acknowledged that Myriad has `` other competitive advantages that may make such ( patent ) enforcement unnecessary '' in Europe . Legal decisions surrounding the BRCA1 and BRCA2 patents will affect the field of genetic testing in general . A June 2013 article , in Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics ( No. 12 - 398 ) , quoted the US Supreme Court 's unanimous ruling that , `` A naturally occurring DNA segment is a product of nature and not patent eligible merely because it has been isolated , '' invalidating Myriad 's patents on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes . However , the Court also held that manipulation of a gene to create something not found in nature could still be eligible for patent protection . The Federal Court of Australia came to the opposite conclusion , upholding the validity of an Australian Myriad Genetics patent over the BRCA1 gene in February 2013 . The Federal Court also rejected an appeal in September 2014 . Yvonne D'Arcy won her case against US - based biotech company Myriad Genetics in the High Court of Australia . In their unanimous decision on October 7 , 2015 the `` high court found that an isolated nucleic acid , coding for a BRCA1 protein , with specific variations from the norm that are indicative of susceptibility to breast cancer and ovarian cancer was not a ' patentable invention .

what type of cancer is associated with the brac1 gene
[ "BRCA1 and BRCA1 (/ˌbrækəˈwʌn/[5]) are a human gene and its protein product, respectively. The official symbol (BRCA1, italic for the gene, nonitalic for the protein) and the official name (breast cancer 1) are maintained by the HGNC. Orthologs, styled Brca1 and Brca1, are common in other mammal species.[6] BRCA1 is a human tumor suppressor gene[7][8] (to be specific, a caretaker gene), found in all humans; its protein, also called by the synonym breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein, is responsible for repairing DNA.[9]" ]

Nichols , 414 U.S. 563 ( 1974 ) , was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court unanimously decided that the lack of supplemental language instruction in public school for students with limited English proficiency violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . The court held that since non-English speakers were denied a meaningful education , the disparate impact caused by the school policy violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the school district was demanded to provide students with `` appropriate relief '' . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Decision of the Supreme Court 3 Legacy 4 See also 5 External links 6 References Background ( edit ) In 1971 , the San Francisco school system desegregated based on the result of Supreme Court case Lee v. Johnson . 2856 Chinese students , who were not fluent in English , were integrated back into the San Francisco Unified School District ( SFUSD ) . Only about 1000 of those students were provided supplemental English instruction . Of the other 1800 - plus Chinese students who were n't fluent in English , many were placed in special education classes while some were forced to be in the same grade for years . Even though the Bilingual Education Act was passed by Congress in 1968 to address the needs of Limited English Speaking Abilities students , the funding was limited since it only supported programs for children between the ages between 3 and 8 . School participation in those programs was also voluntary , and by 1972 , `` only 100,391 students nationally , out of approximately 5,000,000 in need were enrolled in a Title VII - funded program . '' Edward H. Steinman , a public - interest lawyer , reached out to the parents of Kinney Kinmon Lau and other Chinese students with limited English proficiency . He encouraged them to challenge the school district , and they filed a class action suit against Alan H. Nichols , the president of the SFUSD at the time , and other officials in the school district . The students claimed that they were not receiving special help in school due to their inability to speak English , and they argued they were entitled to special help under the Fourteenth Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because of equal protection and the ban on educational discrimination . The District Court for the Northern District of California denied the relief and the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the decision . The District Court argued that since a uniform policy was used for all students in SFUSD and that the district did n't intentionally discriminate against students with limited English proficiency , equal protection was provided and the Fourteenth Amendment was not violated . The Court of Appeals claimed that since the school district provided the same treatment for all students , even though some students were disadvantaged due to their limited fluency in English , the school district was not required to make up for the different starting points of students . The students appealed the Court of Appeal 's decision to the Supreme Court . Decision of the Supreme Court ( edit ) Justice Harry Blackmun , who concurred with the decision and stated that the number of students affected in this case was substantial enough to deem affirmative remedies necessary . The Supreme Court issued its decision on January 21 , 1974 , with the Court unanimously ruling in favor of Lau . Instead of examining the equal protection clause from the 14th Amendment , the Court relied on Section 601 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . Since the school system received federal funding , it was required to provide equal opportunities and access to all students . The Court claimed that even though the school districts provided equal treatment for all students , it still imposed disparate impact on the non-English speaking students since they were not able to understand the class material as effectively as other students and therefore were deprived of having `` meaningful '' education . The Court also referenced the guideline established by the Office for Civil Rights ( OCR ) of the Department of Health , Education and Welfare in 1970 , which stated that language could be used as a proxy of discrimination on national origin and that `` the district must take affirmative steps to rectify the language deficiency in order to open its instructional program to these students . '' The Supreme Court demanded the school district to make necessary changes to provide equal education to the non-English speakers , but it did n't state any specific remedies for the district to follow . Justice Potter Stewart , joined by Chief Justice Burger and Justice Blackmun , concurred with this decision as he stated that affirmative remedial efforts , suggested by the OCR , were constitutional and appropriate in this case as long as the efforts were `` reasonably related to the purposes of the enabling legislation . '' In his concurrence joined by Chief Justice Burger , Justice Blackmun also suggested that `` numbers are at the heart of this case '' and that if the case only involved a few students , rather than nearly 2,000 , the decision would not be the same . Legacy ( edit ) Lau remains an important decision in bilingual education history . In this case , the Supreme Court found the violation of Civil Rights Act of 1964 based on the discriminatory effect of the school policy regardless of the intent of the officials . It prohibited the `` sink and swim '' policy and set a precedent of finding disparate impact in violation of the Civil Rights Act . The decision was subsequently followed by the passing of Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974 in Congress , which specifically prohibited discrimination against faculty and student in public schools and required the school districts to take `` appropriate action '' to overcome the barriers to equal participation of all students . It increased funding to the Bilingual Education Act and made additional English instruction mandatory , which effectively extended the Lau ruling to all public schools . The Officer for Civil Rights then developed a remedial guideline in 1975 , otherwise known as the Lau Remedies , that specified methods and approaches for the school districts to follow in order to provide a meaningful education to students with limited English proficiency . This led to the development of bilingual programs and additional English instructions in most public schools . However , there have been challenges to the Lau decision in recent decades . In the Supreme Court case Alexander v. Sandoval , 532 U.S. 275 ( 2001 ) , the Court claimed that private plaintiffs did not have the right of action to sue against disparate impact violation under Title VI and they must provide proofs of intentional discrimination . It implied that students can no longer sue schools for policies that cause disparate impact , which significantly weakened the foundation of the Lau decision .

( July 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Breast volume will have an effect on the perception of a woman 's figure even when bust / waist / hip measurements are nominally the same . Brassiere band size is measured below the breasts , not at the bust . A woman with measurements of 37A -- 27 -- 38 will have a different presentation than a woman with measurements of 35C -- 27 -- 38 . These women have ribcage circumferences differing by 2 inches , but when breast tissue is included the measurements are the same . The result is that the latter woman will appear `` bustier '' than the former due to the apparent difference in bust to hip ratios ( narrower shoulders , more prominent breasts ) even though they are both technically 38 -- 27 -- 38 . Height will also affect the presentation of the figure . A woman who is 36 -- 24 -- 36 at 5 ft 3 in ( 1.60 m ) tall looks different from a woman who is 36 -- 24 -- 36 at 5 ft 8 in ( 1.73 m ) tall . Since the latter woman 's figure has greater distance between measuring points , she will likely appear thinner than her former counterpart , again , even though they share the same measurements . The specific proportions of 36 -- 24 -- 36 inches ( 90 - 60 - 90 centimeters ) have frequently been given as the `` ideal '' , or `` hourglass '' proportions for women since at least the 1960s .

It has been described as the first major military campaign fought entirely by air forces . The British officially recognise the battle 's duration as being from 10 July until 31 October 1940 , which overlaps the period of large - scale night attacks known as the Blitz , that lasted from 7 September 1940 to 11 May 1941 . German historians do not accept this subdivision and regard the battle as a single campaign lasting from July 1940 to June 1941 , including the Blitz . The primary objective of the Nazi German forces was to compel Britain to agree to a negotiated peace settlement . In July 1940 the air and sea blockade began , with the Luftwaffe mainly targeting coastal - shipping convoys , ports and shipping centres , such as Portsmouth . On 1 August , the Luftwaffe was directed to achieve air superiority over the RAF with the aim of incapacitating RAF Fighter Command ; 12 days later , it shifted the attacks to RAF airfields and infrastructure . As the battle progressed , the Luftwaffe also targeted factories involved in aircraft production and strategic infrastructure . Eventually it employed terror bombing on areas of political significance and on civilians . The Germans had swiftly overwhelmed continental countries , and Britain now appeared to face a threat of invasion by sea , but the German high command knew the difficulties of an unprecedented seaborne attack and its impracticality while the Royal Navy commanded the seas . In early July 1940 the German High Command began planning the invasion of the Soviet Union . On 16 July Hitler ordered the preparation of Operation Sea Lion as a potential amphibious and airborne assault on Britain , to follow once the Luftwaffe had air superiority over the UK . In September RAF Bomber Command night raids disrupted the German preparation of converted barges , and the Luftwaffe failure to overwhelm the RAF forced Hitler to postpone and eventually cancel Operation Sea Lion . Nazi Germany proved unable to sustain daylight raids , but their continued night - bombing operations on Britain became known as the Blitz . Steven Bungay regards the German failure to destroy Britain 's air defences to force an armistice ( or even outright surrender ) as the first major defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II and a crucial turning point in the conflict . The Battle of Britain takes its name from a speech by Winston Churchill to the House of Commons on 18 June : `` What General Weygand has called The Battle of France is over . The Battle of Britain is about to begin .

Its first Chief of the Air Staff Hugh Trenchard was among the military strategists in the 1920s like Giulio Douhet who saw air warfare as a new way to overcome the stalemate of trench warfare . Interception was nearly impossible with fighter planes no faster than bombers . Their view ( expressed vividly in 1932 ) was that the bomber will always get through , and the only defence was a deterrent bomber force capable of matching retaliation . Predictions were made that a bomber offensive would quickly cause thousands of deaths and civilian hysteria leading to capitulation , but widespread pacifism contributed to a reluctance to provide resources . Developing air strategies ( edit ) Germany was forbidden to have a military air force by the 1919 Treaty of Versailles , but developed air crew training in civilian and sport flying . Following a 1923 memorandum , the Deutsche Luft Hansa airline developed designs which were claimed to be for passengers and freight , but which could in fact be readily adapted into bombers , including the Junkers Ju 52 . In 1926 the secret Lipetsk fighter - pilot school began operating . Erhard Milch organised rapid expansion , and following the 1933 Nazi seizure of power his subordinate Robert Knauss formulated a deterrence theory incorporating Douhet 's ideas and Tirpitz 's `` risk theory '' , which proposed a fleet of heavy bombers to deter a preventive attack by France and Poland before Germany could fully rearm . A winter 1933 -- 34 war game indicated a need for fighters and anti-aircraft protection as well as bombers . On 1 March 1935 the Luftwaffe was formally announced , with Walther Wever as Chief of Staff . The 1935 Luftwaffe doctrine for `` Conduct of the Air War '' ( Die Luftkriegführung ) set air power within the overall military strategy , with critical tasks of attaining ( local and temporary ) air superiority and providing battlefield support for army and naval forces . Strategic bombing of industries and transport could be decisive longer term options , dependent on opportunity or preparations by the army and navy , to overcome a stalemate or used when only destruction of the enemy 's economy would be conclusive . The list excluded bombing civilians to destroy homes or undermine morale , as that was considered a waste of strategic effort , but the doctrine allowed revenge attacks if German civilians were bombed . A revised edition was issued in 1940 , and the continuing central principle of Luftwaffe doctrine was that destruction of enemy armed forces was of primary importance . The RAF responded to Luftwaffe developments with its 1934 Expansion Plan A rearmament scheme , and in 1936 it was restructured into Bomber Command , Coastal Command , Training Command and Fighter Command . The latter was under Hugh Dowding , who opposed the doctrine that bombers were unstoppable : the invention of radar at that time could allow early detection , and prototype monoplane fighters were significantly faster . Priorities were disputed , but in December 1937 the Minister in charge of defence coordination Sir Thomas Inskip decided in Dowding 's favour , that `` The role of our air force is not an early knock - out blow '' but rather was `` to prevent the Germans from knocking us out '' and fighter squadrons were just as necessary as bomber squadrons . In the Spanish Civil War , the Luftwaffe in the Condor Legion tried out air fighting tactics and their new aeroplanes . Wolfram von Richthofen become an exponent of air power providing ground support to other services . The difficulty of accurately hitting targets prompted Ernst Udet to require that all new bombers had to be dive bombers , and led to the development of the Knickebein system for night time navigation . Priority was given to producing large numbers of smaller aeroplanes , and plans for a long range four engined strategic bomber were delayed . First stages of World War II ( edit ) British Prime Minister Winston Churchill The early stages of World War II saw successful German invasions on the continent aided decisively by the air power of the Luftwaffe , which was able to establish tactical air superiority with great efficiency . The speed with which German forces defeated most of the defending armies in Norway in early 1940 created a significant political crisis in Britain . In early May 1940 , the Norway Debate questioned the fitness for office of the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain . On 10 May , the same day Winston Churchill became British Prime Minister , the Germans initiated the Battle of France with an aggressive invasion of French territory . RAF Fighter Command was desperately short of trained pilots and aircraft , but despite the objections of its commander Hugh Dowding that the diversion of his forces would leave home defences under - strength , Churchill sent fighter squadrons , the Air Component of the British Expeditionary Force , to support operations in France , where the RAF suffered heavy losses . After the evacuation of British and French soldiers from Dunkirk and the French surrender on 22 June 1940 , Hitler mainly focused his energies on the possibility of invading the Soviet Union in the belief that the British , defeated on the continent and without European allies , would quickly come to terms . The Germans were so convinced of an imminent armistice that they began constructing street decorations for the homecoming parades of victorious troops . Although the British Foreign Secretary , Lord Halifax , and certain elements of the British public favoured a negotiated peace with an ascendant Germany , Churchill and a majority of his Cabinet refused to consider an armistice . Instead , Churchill used his skilful rhetoric to harden public opinion against capitulation and to prepare the British for a long war . The Battle of Britain has the unusual distinction that it gained its name before being fought . The name is derived from the This was their finest hour speech delivered by Winston Churchill in the House of Commons on 18 June , more than three weeks prior to the generally accepted date for the start of the battle : ... What General Weygand has called The Battle of France is over . The battle of Britain is about to begin . Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilisation . Upon it depends our own British life and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire . The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us . Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war . If we can stand up to him , all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad , sunlit uplands . But if we fail , then the whole world , including the United States , including all that we have known and cared for , will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister , and perhaps more protracted , by the lights of a perverted science . Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties , and so bear ourselves that , if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years , men will still say , `` This was their finest hour '' . -- Winston Churchill German aims and directives ( edit ) German Chancellor Adolf Hitler From the outset of his rise to power , Hitler expressed admiration for Britain , and throughout the Battle period he sought neutrality or a peace treaty with Britain . In a secret conference on 23 May 1939 , Hitler set out his rather contradictory strategy that an attack on Poland was essential and `` will only be successful if the Western Powers keep out of it . If this is impossible , then it will be better to attack in the West and to settle Poland at the same time '' with a surprise attack . `` If Holland and Belgium are successfully occupied and held , and if France is also defeated , the fundamental conditions for a successful war against England will have been secured . England can then be blockaded from Western France at close quarters by the Air Force , while the Navy with its submarines extend the range of the blockade . '' When war commenced , Hitler and the OKW ( Oberkommando der Wehrmacht or `` High Command of the Armed Forces '' ) issued a series of Directives ordering planning and stating strategic objectives . `` Directive No. 1 for the Conduct of the War '' dated 31 August 1939 instructed the invasion of Poland on 1 September as planned . Potentially , Luftwaffe `` operations against England '' were to `` dislocate English imports , the armaments industry , and the transport of troops to France . Any favourable opportunity of an effective attack on concentrated units of the English Navy , particularly on battleships or aircraft carriers , will be exploited . The decision regarding attacks on London is reserved to me . Attacks on the English homeland are to be prepared , bearing in mind that inconclusive results with insufficient forces are to be avoided in all circumstances . '' Both France and the UK declared war on Germany ; on 9 October Hitler 's `` Directive No. 6 '' planned the offensive to defeat these allies and `` win as much territory as possible in Holland , Belgium , and northern France to serve as a base for the successful prosecution of the air and sea war against England '' . On 29 November OKW `` Directive No. 9 -- Instructions For Warfare Against The Economy Of The Enemy '' stated that once this coastline had been secured , the Lufwaffe together with the Kriegsmarine ( German Navy ) was to blockade UK ports with sea mines , attack shipping and warships , and make air attacks on shore installations and industrial production . This directive remained in force in the first phase of the Battle of Britain . It was reinforced on 24 May during the Battle of France by `` Directive No. 13 '' which authorised the Luftwaffe `` to attack the English homeland in the fullest manner , as soon as sufficient forces are available . This attack will be opened by an annihilating reprisal for English attacks on the Ruhr Basin . '' By the end of June 1940 , Germany had defeated Britain 's allies on the continent , and on 30 June the OKW Chief of Staff Alfred Jodl issued his review of options to increase pressure on Britain to agree to a negotiated peace . The first priority was to eliminate the RAF and gain air supremacy . Intensified air attacks against shipping and the economy could affect food supplies and civilian morale in the long term . Reprisal attacks of terror bombing had the potential to cause quicker capitulation , but the effect on morale was uncertain . Once the Luftwaffe had control of the air , and the UK economy had been weakened , an invasion would be a last resort or a final strike ( `` Todesstoss '' ) after England had already been conquered , but could have a quick result . On the same day , the Luftwaffe Commander - in - Chief Hermann Göring issued his operational directive ; to destroy the RAF , thus protecting German industry , and also to block overseas supplies to Britain . The German Supreme Command argued over the practicality of these options . In `` Directive No. 16 -- On preparations for a landing operation against England '' on 16 July , Hitler required readiness by mid-August for the possibility of an invasion he called Operation Sea Lion , unless the British agreed to negotiations . The Luftwaffe reported that it would be ready to launch its major attack early in August . The Kriegsmarine Commander - in - Chief , Grand Admiral Erich Raeder , continued to highlight the impracticality of these plans , and said sea invasion could not take place before the Spring of 1941 . Hitler now argued that Britain was holding out in hope of assistance from Russia , and the Soviet Union was to be invaded by mid 1941 . Göring met his air fleet commanders , and on 24 July issued `` Tasks and Goals '' of firstly gaining air supremacy , secondly protecting invasion forces and attacking the Royal Navy 's ships . Thirdly , they were to blockade imports , bombing harbours and stores of supplies . Hitler 's `` Directive No. 17 -- For the conduct of air and sea warfare against England '' issued on 1 August attempted to keep all the options open . The Luftwaffe 's Adlertag campaign was to start around 5 August , subject to weather , with the aim of gaining air superiority over southern England as a necessary precondition of invasion , to give credibility to the threat and give Hitler the option of ordering the invasion . The intention was to incapacitate the RAF so much that the UK would feel open to air attack , and would begin peace negotiations . It was also to isolate the UK and damage war production , beginning an effective blockade . Following severe Luftwaffe losses , Hitler agreed at a 14 September OKW conference that the air campaign was to intensify regardless of invasion plans . On 16 September , Göring gave the order for this change in strategy , to the first independent strategic bombing campaign . Negotiated peace or neutrality ( edit ) Adolf Hitler 's Mein Kampf of 1923 mostly set out his hatreds : he only admired ordinary German World War I soldiers and Britain , which he saw as an ally against communism . In 1935 Hermann Göring welcomed news that Britain as a potential ally was rearming . In 1936 he promised assistance to defend the British Empire , asking only a free hand in Eastern Europe , and repeated this to Lord Halifax in 1937 . That year , von Ribbentrop met Churchill with a similar proposal ; when rebuffed , he told Churchill that interference with German domination would mean war . To Hitler 's great annoyance , all his diplomacy failed to stop Britain from declaring war when he invaded Poland . During the fall of France , he repeatedly discussed peace efforts with his generals . When Churchill came to power , there was still wide support for Halifax , who as Foreign Secretary openly argued for peace negotiations in the tradition of British diplomacy , to secure British independence without war . On 20 May , Halifax secretly requested a Swedish businessman to make contact with Göring to open negotiations . Shortly afterwards , in the May 1940 War Cabinet Crisis , Halifax argued for negotiations involving the Italians , but this was rejected by Churchill with majority support . An approach made through the Swedish ambassador on 22 June was reported to Hitler , making peace negotiations seem feasible . Throughout July , as the battle started , the Germans made wider attempts to find a diplomatic solution . On 2 July , the day the armed forces were asked to start preliminary planning for an invasion , Hitler got von Ribbentrop to draft a speech offering peace negotiations . On 19 July Hitler made this speech to the German Parliament in Berlin , appealing `` to reason and common sense '' , and said he could `` see no reason why this war should go on '' . His sombre conclusion was received in silence , but he did not suggest negotiations and this was effectively an ultimatum which was rejected by the British government . Halifax kept trying to arrange peace until he was sent to Washington in December as ambassador , and in January 1941 Hitler expressed continued interest in negotiating peace with Britain . Blockade and siege ( edit ) A May 1939 planning exercise by Luftflotte 3 found that the Luftwaffe lacked the means to do much damage to Britain 's war economy beyond laying naval mines . The Head of Luftwaffe intelligence Joseph `` Beppo '' Schmid presented a report on 22 November 1939 , stating that `` Of all Germany 's possible enemies , Britain is the most dangerous . '' This `` Proposal for the Conduct of Air Warfare '' argued for a counter to the British blockade and said `` Key is to paralyse the British trade '' . Instead of the Wehrmacht attacking the French , the Luftwaffe with naval assistance was to block imports to Britain and attack seaports . `` Should the enemy resort to terror measures -- for example , to attack our towns in western Germany '' they could retaliate by bombing industrial centres and London . Parts of this appeared on 29 November in `` Directive No. 9 '' as future actions once the coast had been conquered . On 24 May 1940 `` Directive No. 13 '' authorised attacks on the blockade targets , as well as retaliation for RAF bombing of industrial targets in the Ruhr . After the defeat of France the High Command ( OKW ) felt they had won the war , and some more pressure would persuade Britain . On 30 June the OKW Chief of Staff Alfred Jodl issued his paper setting out options : the first was to increase attacks on shipping , economic targets and the RAF : air attacks and food shortages were expected to break morale and lead to capitulation . Destruction of the RAF was the first priority , and invasion would be a last resort . Hermann Göring 's operational directive issued the same day ordered destruction of the RAF to clear the way for attacks cutting off seaborne supplies to Britain . It made no mention of invasion . Invasion plans ( edit ) Main article : Operation Sea Lion In November 1939 , the OKW reviewed the potential for an air - and seaborne invasion of Britain : the Kriegsmarine ( German Navy ) was faced with the threat the Royal Navy 's larger Home Fleet posed to a crossing of the English Channel , and together with the German Army viewed control of airspace as a necessary precondition . The Luftwaffe said invasion could only be `` the final act in an already victorious war . '' Hitler first discussed the idea at a 21 May 1940 meeting with Grand Admiral Erich Raeder , who stressed the difficulties and his own preference for a blockade . OKW Chief of Staff Alfred Jodl 's 30 June report described invasion as a last resort once the British economy had been damaged and the Luftwaffe had full air superiority . On 2 July , OKW requested preliminary plans . In Britain , Churchill described `` the great invasion scare '' as `` serving a very useful purpose '' by `` keeping every man and woman tuned to a high pitch of readiness '' . On 10 July , he advised the War Cabinet that invasion could be ignored , as it `` would be a most hazardous and suicidal operation '' . On 11 July , Hitler agreed with Raeder that invasion would be a last resort , and the Luftwaffe advised that gaining air superiority would take 14 to 28 days . Hitler met his army chiefs , von Brauchitsch and Halder , who presented detailed plans on the assumption that the navy would provide safe transport . Hitler showed no interest in the details , but on 16 July he issued Directive No. 16 ordering preparations for Operation Sea Lion . The navy insisted on a narrow beachhead and an extended period for landing troops ; the army rejected these plans : the Luftwaffe could begin an air attack in August . Hitler held a meeting of his army and navy chiefs on 31 July . The navy said 22 September was the earliest possible date , and proposed postponement until the spring , but Hitler preferred September . He then told von Brauchitsch and Halder that he would decide on the landing operation eight to fourteen days after the air attack began . On 1 August he issued Directive No. 17 for intensified air and sea warfare , to begin with Adlertag on or after 5 August subject to weather , keeping options open for negotiated peace or blockade and siege . Independent air attack ( edit ) Under the continuing influence of the 1935 `` Conduct of the Air War '' doctrine , the main focus of the Luftwaffe command ( including Göring ) was in concentrating attacks to destroy enemy armed forces on the battlefield , and `` blitzkrieg '' close air support of the army succeeded brilliantly . They reserved strategic bombing for a stalemate situation or revenge attacks , but doubted if this could be decisive on its own and regarded bombing civilians to destroy homes or undermine morale as a waste of strategic effort . The defeat of France in June 1940 introduced the prospect for the first time of independent air action against Britain . A July Fliegercorps I paper asserted that Germany was by definition an air power : `` Its chief weapon against England is the Air Force , then the Navy , followed by the landing forces and the Army . '' In 1940 , the Luftwaffe would undertake a `` strategic offensive ... on its own and independent of the other services '' , according to an April 1944 German account of their military mission . Göring was convinced that strategic bombing could win objectives which were beyond the army and navy , and gain political advantages in the Third Reich for the Luftwaffe and himself . He expected air warfare to decisively force Britain to negotiate , as all in the OKW hoped , and the Luftwaffe took little interest to planning to support an invasion . Opposing forces ( edit ) Main article : Aircraft of the Battle of Britain Further information : RAF Fighter Command Order of Battle 1940 and Luftwaffe Order of Battle August 1940 Further information : List of officially accredited Battle of Britain squadrons The Luftwaffe faced a more capable opponent than any it had previously met : a sizeable , highly coordinated , well - supplied , modern air force . Fighters ( edit ) The Luftwaffe 's Messerschmitt Bf 109E and Bf 110C fought against the RAF 's workhorse Hurricane Mk I and the less numerous Spitfire Mk I ; Hurricanes outnumbered Spitfires in RAF Fighter Command by about 2 : 1 when war broke out . The Bf 109E had a better climb rate and was up to 40 mph faster in level flight than the Rotol ( constant speed propellor ) equipped Hurricane Mk I , depending on altitude . The speed and climb disparity with the original non-Rotol Hurricane was even greater . By the end of spring 1940 , all RAF Spitfire and Hurricane fighter squadrons converted to 100 octane aviation fuel , which allowed their Merlin engines to generate significantly more power and an approximately 30 mph increase in speed at low altitudes through the use of an Emergency Boost Override . In September 1940 , the more powerful Mk IIa series 1 Hurricanes started entering service in small numbers . This version was capable of a maximum speed of 342 mph ( 550 km / h ) , some 20 mph more than the original ( non-Rotol ) Mk I , though it was still 15 to 20 mph slower than a Bf 109 ( depending on altitude ) . Hawker Hurricane R4118 fought in the Battle of Britain . Here it arrives at the 2014 Royal International Air Tattoo , England . X4382 , a late production Spitfire Mk I of 602 Squadron flown by P / O Osgood Hanbury , Westhampnett , September 1940 The performance of the Spitfire over Dunkirk came as a surprise to the Jagdwaffe , although the German pilots retained a strong belief that the 109 was the superior fighter . The British fighters were equipped with eight Browning . 303 ( 7.7 mm ) machine guns , while most Bf 109Es had two 7.92 mm machine guns supplemented by two 20mm cannons . The latter was much more effective than the . 303 ; during the Battle it was not unknown for damaged German bombers to limp home with up to two hundred . 303 hits . At some altitudes , the Bf 109 could outclimb the British fighter . It could also engage in vertical - plane negative - g manoeuvres without the engine cutting out because its DB 601 engine used fuel injection ; this allowed the 109 to dive away from attackers more readily than the carburettor - equipped Merlin . On the other hand , the Bf 109E had a much larger turning circle than its two foes . In general , though , as Alfred Price noted in The Spitfire Story : ... the differences between the Spitfire and the Me 109 in performance and handling were only marginal , and in a combat they were almost always surmounted by tactical considerations of which side had seen the other first , which had the advantage of sun , altitude , numbers , pilot ability , tactical situation , tactical co-ordination , amount of fuel remaining , etc . Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-4 The Bf 109E was also used as a Jabo ( jagdbomber , fighter - bomber ) -- the E-4 / B and E-7 models could carry a 250 kg bomb underneath the fuselage , the later model arriving during the battle . The Bf 109 , unlike the Stuka , could fight on equal terms with RAF fighters after releasing its ordnance . At the start of the battle , the twin - engined Messerschmitt Bf 110C long range Zerstörer ( `` Destroyer '' ) was also expected to engage in air - to - air combat while escorting the Luftwaffe bomber fleet . Although the 110 was faster than the Hurricane and almost as fast as the Spitfire , its lack of manoeuvrability and acceleration meant that it was a failure as a long - range escort fighter . On 13 and 15 August , thirteen and thirty aircraft were lost , the equivalent of an entire Gruppe , and the type 's worst losses during the campaign . This trend continued with a further eight and fifteen lost on 16 and 17 August . Göring ordered the Bf 110 units to operate `` where the range of the single - engined machines were not sufficient '' . The most successful role of the Bf 110 during the battle was as a Schnellbomber ( fast bomber ) . The Bf 110 usually used a shallow dive to bomb the target and escape at high speed . One unit , Erprobungsgruppe 210 -- initially formed as the service test unit ( Erprobungskommando ) for the emerging successor to the 110 , the Me 210 -- proved that the Bf 110 could still be used to good effect in attacking small or `` pinpoint '' targets . Four 264 Squadron Defiants ( PS - V was shot down on 28 August 1940 over Kent by Bf 109s . ) The RAF 's Boulton Paul Defiant had some initial success over Dunkirk because of its resemblance to the Hurricane ; Luftwaffe fighters attacking from the rear were surprised by its unusual gun turret . However , during the Battle of Britain , this single - engined two - seater proved hopelessly outclassed . For various reasons , the Defiant lacked any form of forward - firing armament , and the heavy turret and second crewman meant it could not outrun or outmanoeuvre either the Bf 109 or Bf 110 . By the end of August , after disastrous losses , the aircraft was withdrawn from daylight service . Bombers ( edit ) Heinkel He 111 bombers during the Battle of Britain The Luftwaffe 's primary bombers were the Heinkel He 111 , Dornier Do 17 , and Junkers Ju 88 for level bombing at medium to high altitudes , and the Junkers Ju 87 Stuka for dive bombing tactics . The He 111 was used in greater numbers than the others during the conflict , and was better known , partly due to its distinctive wing shape . Each level bomber also had a few reconnaissance versions accompanying them that were used during the battle . Although it was successful in previous Luftwaffe engagements , the Stuka suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Britain , particularly on 18 August , due to its slow speed and vulnerability to fighter interception after dive bombing a target . As the losses went up along with their limited payload and range , Stuka units were largely removed from operations over England and diverted to concentrate on shipping instead until they were eventually re-deployed to the Eastern Front in 1941 . However , for some raids , they were called back , such as on 13 September to attack Tangmere airfield . The remaining three bomber types differed in their capabilities ; the Heinkel 111 was the slowest ; the Ju 88 was the fastest once its mainly external bomb load was dropped ; and the Do 17 had the smallest bomb load . All three bomber types suffered heavy losses from the home - based British fighters , but the Ju 88 disproportionately so . The German bombers required constant protection by the Luftwaffe 's fighter force . German escorts , however , were not sufficiently numerous . Bf 109Es were ordered to support more than 300 -- 400 bombers on any given day . Later in the conflict , when night bombing became more frequent , all three were used . However , due to its reduced bomb load , the lighter Do 17 was used less than the He 111 and Ju 88 for this purpose . German propaganda photo purporting to show a Spitfire I flying very close to a Dornier 17Z On the British side , three bomber types were mostly used on night operations against targets such as factories , invasion ports and railway centres ; the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley , the Handley - Page Hampden and the Vickers Wellington were classified as heavy bombers by the RAF , although the Hampden was a medium bomber comparable to the He 111 . The twin - engined Bristol Blenheim and the obsolescent single - engined Fairey Battle were both light bombers ; the Blenheim was the most numerous of the aircraft equipping RAF Bomber Command and was used in attacks against shipping , ports , airfields and factories on the continent by day and by night . The Fairey Battle squadrons , which had suffered heavy losses in daylight attacks during the Battle of France , were brought up to strength with reserve aircraft and continued to operate at night in attacks against the invasion ports , until the Battle was withdrawn from UK front line service in October 1940 . Pilots ( edit ) Before the war , the RAF 's processes for selecting potential candidates were opened to men of all social classes through the creation in 1936 of the RAF Volunteer Reserve , which `` ... was designed to appeal , to ... young men ... without any class distinctions ... '' The older squadrons of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force did retain some of their upper - class exclusiveness , but their numbers were soon swamped by the newcomers of the RAFVR ; by 1 September 1939 , 6,646 pilots had been trained through the RAFVR . A Spitfire pilot recounts how he shot down a Messerschmitt , Biggin Hill , September 1940 By summer 1940 , there were about 9,000 pilots in the RAF to man about 5,000 aircraft , most of which were bombers . Fighter Command was never short of pilots , but the problem of finding sufficient numbers of fully trained fighter pilots became acute by mid-August 1940 . With aircraft production running at 300 planes each week , only 200 pilots were trained in the same period . In addition , more pilots were allocated to squadrons than there were aircraft , as this allowed squadrons to maintain operational strength despite casualties and still provide for pilot leave . Another factor was that only about 30 % of the 9,000 pilots were assigned to operational squadrons ; 20 % of the pilots were involved in conducting pilot training , and a further 20 % were undergoing further instruction , like those offered in Canada and in Southern Rhodesia to the Commonwealth trainees , although already qualified . The rest were assigned to staff positions , since RAF policy dictated that only pilots could make many staff and operational command decisions , even in engineering matters . At the height of fighting , and despite Churchill 's insistence , only 30 pilots were released to the front line from administrative duties . For these reasons , and the permanent loss of 435 pilots during the Battle of France alone along with many more wounded , and others lost in Norway , the RAF had fewer experienced pilots at the start of the initial defence of their home . It was the lack of trained pilots in the fighting squadrons , rather than the lack of aircraft , that became the greatest concern for Air Chief Marshal Hugh Dowding , Commander of Fighter Command . Drawing from regular RAF forces , the Auxiliary Air Force and the Volunteer Reserve , the British were able to muster some 1,103 fighter pilots on 1 July . Replacement pilots , with little flight training and often no gunnery training , suffered high casualty rates , thus exacerbating the problem . The Luftwaffe , on the other hand , were able to muster a larger number ( 1,450 ) of more experienced fighter pilots . Drawing from a cadre of Spanish Civil War veterans , these pilots already had comprehensive courses in aerial gunnery and instructions in tactics suited for fighter - versus - fighter combat . Training manuals discouraged heroism , stressing the importance of attacking only when the odds were in the pilot 's favour . Despite the high levels of experience , German fighter formations did not provide a sufficient reserve of pilots to allow for losses and leave , and the Luftwaffe was unable to produce enough pilots to prevent a decline in operational strength as the battle progressed . International participation ( edit ) Allies ( edit ) 126 German aircraft or `` Adolfs '' were claimed by Polish pilots of 303 Squadron during the Battle Main article : Non-British personnel in the RAF during the Battle of Britain The Royal Air Force roll of honour for the Battle of Britain recognises 595 non-British pilots ( out of 2,936 ) as flying at least one authorised operational sortie with an eligible unit of the RAF or Fleet Air Arm between 10 July and 31 October 1940 . These included 145 Poles , 127 New Zealanders , 112 Canadians , 88 Czechoslovaks , 10 Irish , 32 Australians , 28 Belgians , 25 South Africans , 13 French , 9 Americans , 3 Southern Rhodesians and one each from Jamaica and Mandatory Palestine . `` Altogether in the fighter battles , the bombing raids , and the various patrols flown between 10 July and 31 October 1940 by the Royal Air Force , 1495 aircrew were killed , of whom 449 were fighter pilots , 718 aircrew from Bomber Command , and 280 from Coastal Command . Among those killed were 47 airmen from Canada , 24 from Australia , 17 from South Africa , 35 from Poland , 20 from Czechoslovakia and six from Belgium . Forty - seven New Zealanders lost their lives , including 15 fighter pilots , 24 bomber and eight coastal aircrew . The names of these Allied and Commonwealth airmen are inscribed in a memorial book which rests in the Battle of Britain Chapel in Westminster Abbey . In the chapel is a stained glass window which contains the badges of the fighter squadrons which operated during the battle and the flags of the nations to which the pilots and aircrew belonged . '' Axis ( edit ) Main article : Corpo Aereo Italiano An element of the Italian Royal Air Force ( Regia Aeronautica ) called the Italian Air Corps ( Corpo Aereo Italiano or CAI ) first saw action in late October 1940 . It took part in the latter stages of the battle , but achieved limited success . The unit was redeployed in early 1941 . Luftwaffe strategy ( edit ) Hermann Göring , the commander of the Luftwaffe Hugo Sperrle , the commander of Luftflotte 3 The high command 's indecision over which aim to pursue was reflected in shifts in Luftwaffe strategy . Their Air War doctrine of concentrated close air support of the army at the battlefront succeeded in the blitzkrieg offensives against Poland , Denmark and Norway , the Low Countries and France , but incurred significant losses . The Luftwaffe now had to establish or restore bases in the conquered territories , and rebuild their strength . In June 1940 they began regular armed reconnaissance flights and sporadic Störangriffe , nuisance raids of one or a few bombers , both day and night . These gave crews practice in navigation and avoiding air defences , and set off air raid alarms which disturbed civilian morale . Similar nuisance raids continued throughout the battle , into the winter months of 1940 . Scattered naval mine -- laying sorties began at the outset , and increased gradually over the battle period . Göring 's operational directive of 30 June ordered destruction of the RAF as a whole , including the aircraft industry , with the aims of ending RAF bombing raids on Germany and facilitating attacks on ports and storage in the Luftwaffe blockade of Britain . Attacks on Channel shipping in the Kanalkampf began on 4 July , and were formalised on 11 July in an order by Hans Jeschonnek which added the arms industry as a target . On 16 July Directive No. 16 ordered preparations for Operation Sea Lion , and on the next day the luftwaffe was ordered to stand by in full readiness . Göring met his air fleet commanders , and on 24 July issued `` Tasks and Goals '' of gaining air supremacy , protecting the army and navy if invasion went ahead , and attacking the Royal Navy 's ships as well as continuing the blockade . Once the RAF had been defeated , Luftwaffe bombers were to move forward beyond London without the need for fighter escort , destroying military and economic targets . At a meeting on 1 August the command reviewed plans produced by each Fliegerkorps with differing proposals for targets including whether to bomb airfields , but failed to focus priorities . Intelligence reports gave Göring the impression that the RAF was almost defeated : the intent was that raids would attract British fighters for the Luftwaffe to shoot down . On 6 August he finalised plans for this `` Operation Eagle Attack '' with Kesselring , Sperle and Stumpff : destruction of RAF Fighter Command across the south of England was to take four days , with lightly escorted small bomber raids leaving the main fighter force free to attack RAF fighters . Bombing of military and economic targets was then to systematically extend up to the Midlands until daylight attacks could proceed unhindered over the whole of Britain . Bombing of London was to be held back while these night time `` destroyer '' attacks proceeded over other urban areas , then in culmination of the campaign a major attack on the capital was intended to cause a crisis when refugees fled London just as the Operation Sea Lion invasion was to begin . With hopes fading for the possibility of invasion , on 4 September Hitler authorised a main focus on day and night attacks on tactical targets with London as the main target , in what the British called the Blitz . With increasing difficulty in defending bombers in day raids , the Lufwaffe shifted to a strategic bombing campaign of night raids aiming to overcome British resistance by damaging infrastructure and food stocks , though intentional terror bombing of civilians was not sanctioned . Regrouping of Luftwaffe in Luftflotten ( edit ) The Luftwaffe was forced to regroup after the Battle of France into three Luftflotten ( Air Fleets ) on Britain 's southern and northern flanks . Luftflotte 2 , commanded by Generalfeldmarschall Albert Kesselring , was responsible for the bombing of southeast England and the London area . Luftflotte 3 , under Generalfeldmarschall Hugo Sperrle , targeted the West Country , Wales , the Midlands , and northwest England . Luftflotte 5 , led by Generaloberst Hans - Jürgen Stumpff from his headquarters in Norway , targeted the north of England and Scotland . As the battle progressed , command responsibility shifted , with Luftflotte 3 taking more responsibility for the night - time Blitz attacks while the main daylight operations fell upon Luftflotte 2 's shoulders . Initial Luftwaffe estimates were that it would take four days to defeat the RAF Fighter Command in southern England . This would be followed by a four - week offensive during which the bombers and long - range fighters would destroy all military installations throughout the country and wreck the British aircraft industry . The campaign was planned to begin with attacks on airfields near the coast , gradually moving inland to attack the ring of sector airfields defending London . Later reassessments gave the Luftwaffe five weeks , from 8 August to 15 September , to establish temporary air superiority over England . To achieve this goal , Fighter Command had to be destroyed , either on the ground or in the air , yet the Luftwaffe had to be able to preserve its own strength to be able to support the invasion ; this meant that the Luftwaffe had to maintain a high `` kill ratio '' over the RAF fighters . The only alternative to the goal of air superiority was a terror bombing campaign aimed at the civilian population , but this was considered a last resort and it was ( at this stage of the battle ) expressly forbidden by Hitler . The Luftwaffe kept broadly to this scheme , but its commanders had differences of opinion on strategy . Sperrle wanted to eradicate the air defence infrastructure by bombing it . His counterpart , Kesselring , championed attacking London directly -- either to bombard the British government into submission , or to draw RAF fighters into a decisive battle . Göring did nothing to resolve this disagreement between his commanders , and only vague directives were set down during the initial stages of the battle , with Göring seemingly unable to decide upon which strategy to pursue . He seemed at times obsessed with maintaining his own power base in the Luftwaffe and indulging his outdated beliefs on air fighting , which would later lead to tactical and strategic errors . Tactics ( edit ) Fighter formations ( edit ) Luftwaffe formations employed a loose section of two ( nicknamed the Rotte ( pack ) ) , based on a leader ( Rottenführer ) followed at a distance of about 200 metres by his wingman ( nicknamed the Rottenhund ( pack dog ) or Katschmarek ) , who also flew slightly higher and was trained always to stay with his leader . With more room between them , both pilots could spend less time maintaining formation and more time looking around and covering each other 's blind spots . Attacking aircraft could be sandwiched between the two 109s . The Rotte allowed the Rottenführer to concentrate on getting kills , but few wingmen had the chance , leading to some resentment in the lower ranks where it was felt that the high scores came at their expense . Two sections were usually teamed up into a Schwarm , where all the pilots could watch what was happening around them . Each Schwarm in a Staffel flew at staggered heights and with about 200 metres of room between them , making the formation difficult to spot at longer ranges and allowing for a great deal of flexibility . By using a tight `` cross-over '' turn , a Schwarm could quickly change direction . The Bf 110s adopted the same Schwarm formation as the 109s , but were seldom able to use this to the same advantage . The Bf 110 's most successful method of attack was the `` bounce '' from above . When attacked , Zerstörergruppen increasingly resorted to forming large `` defensive circles '' , where each Bf 110 guarded the tail of the aircraft ahead of it . Göring ordered that they be renamed `` offensive circles '' in a vain bid to improve rapidly declining morale . These conspicuous formations were often successful in attracting RAF fighters that were sometimes `` bounced '' by high - flying Bf 109s . This led to the often repeated misconception that the Bf 110s were escorted by Bf 109s . Higher - level dispositions ( edit ) Luftwaffe tactics were influenced by their fighters . The Bf 110 proved too vulnerable to the nimble single - engined RAF fighters . This meant the bulk of fighter escort duties fell on the Bf 109 . Fighter tactics were then complicated by bomber crews who demanded closer protection . After the hard - fought battles of 15 and 18 August , Göring met with his unit leaders . During this conference , the need for the fighters to meet up on time with the bombers was stressed . It was also decided that one bomber Gruppe could only be properly protected by several Gruppen of 109s . In addition , Göring stipulated that as many fighters as possible were to be left free for Freie Jagd ( `` Free Hunts '' : a free - roving fighter sweep preceded a raid to try to sweep defenders out of the raid 's path ) . The Ju 87 units , which had suffered heavy casualties , were only to be used under favourable circumstances . In early September , due to increasing complaints from the bomber crews about RAF fighters seemingly able to get through the escort screen , Göring ordered an increase in close escort duties . This decision shackled many of the Bf 109s to the bombers and , although they were more successful at protecting the bomber forces , casualties amongst the fighters mounted primarily because they were forced to fly and manoeuvre at reduced speeds . The Luftwaffe consistently varied its tactics in its attempts to break through the RAF defences . It launched many Freie Jagd to draw up RAF fighters . RAF fighter controllers , however , were often able to detect these and position squadrons to avoid them , keeping to Dowding 's plan to preserve fighter strength for the bomber formations . The Luftwaffe also tried using small formations of bombers as bait , covering them with large numbers of escorts . This was more successful , but escort duty tied the fighters to the bombers ' slow speed and made them more vulnerable . Pattern of condensation trails left by British and German aircraft after a dogfight . By September , standard tactics for raids had become an amalgam of techniques . A Freie Jagd would precede the main attack formations . The bombers would fly in at altitudes between 16,000 feet ( 4,900 m ) and 20,000 feet ( 6,100 m ) , closely escorted by fighters . Escorts were divided into two parts ( usually Gruppen ) , some operating in close contact with the bombers , and others a few hundred yards away and a little above . If the formation was attacked from the starboard , the starboard section engaged the attackers , the top section moving to starboard and the port section to the top position . If the attack came from the port side the system was reversed . British fighters coming from the rear were engaged by the rear section and the two outside sections similarly moving to the rear . If the threat came from above , the top section went into action while the side sections gained height to be able to follow RAF fighters down as they broke away . If attacked , all sections flew in defensive circles . These tactics were skilfully evolved and carried out , and were difficult to counter . Adolf Galland , the successful leader of III. / JG 26 , became Geschwaderkommodore of JG 26 on 22 August Adolf Galland noted : We had the impression that , whatever we did , we were bound to be wrong . Fighter protection for bombers created many problems which had to be solved in action . Bomber pilots preferred close screening in which their formation was surrounded by pairs of fighters pursuing a zigzag course . Obviously , the visible presence of the protective fighters gave the bomber pilots a greater sense of security . However , this was a faulty conclusion , because a fighter can only carry out this purely defensive task by taking the initiative in the offensive . He must never wait until attacked because he then loses the chance of acting . We fighter pilots certainly preferred the free chase during the approach and over the target area . This gives the greatest relief and the best protection for the bomber force . The biggest disadvantage faced by Bf 109 pilots was that without the benefit of long - range drop tanks ( which were introduced in limited numbers in the late stages of the battle ) , usually of 300 litres ( 66 imp gal ; 79 US gal ) capacity , the 109s had an endurance of just over an hour and , for the 109E , a 600 km ( 370 mi ) range . Once over Britain , a 109 pilot had to keep an eye on a red `` low fuel '' light on the instrument panel : once this was illuminated , he was forced to turn back and head for France . With the prospect of two long flights over water , and knowing their range was substantially reduced when escorting bombers or during combat , the Jagdflieger coined the term Kanalkrankheit or `` Channel sickness '' . Intelligence ( edit ) The Luftwaffe was ill - served by its lack of military intelligence about the British defences . The German intelligence services were fractured and plagued by rivalries ; their performance was `` amateurish '' . By 1940 , there were few German agents operating in Great Britain and a handful of bungled attempts to insert spies into the country were foiled . As a result of intercepted radio transmissions , the Germans began to realise that the RAF fighters were being controlled from ground facilities ; in July and August 1939 , for example , the airship Graf Zeppelin , which was packed with equipment for listening in on RAF radio and RDF transmissions , flew around the coasts of Britain . Although the Luftwaffe correctly interpreted these new ground control procedures , they were incorrectly assessed as being rigid and ineffectual . A British radar system was well known to the Luftwaffe from intelligence gathered before the war , but the highly developed `` Dowding system '' linked with fighter control had been a well - kept secret . Even when good information existed , such as a November 1939 Abwehr assessment of Fighter Command strengths and capabilities by Abteilung V , it was ignored if it did not match conventional preconceptions . On 16 July 1940 , Abteilung V , commanded by Oberstleutnant `` Beppo '' Schmid , produced a report on the RAF and on Britain 's defensive capabilities which was adopted by the frontline commanders as a basis for their operational plans . One of the most conspicuous failures of the report was the lack of information on the RAF 's RDF network and control systems capabilities ; it was assumed that the system was rigid and inflexible , with the RAF fighters being `` tied '' to their home bases . An optimistic and , as it turned out , erroneous conclusion reached was : D. Supply Situation ... At present the British aircraft industry produces about 180 to 300 first line fighters and 140 first line bombers a month . In view of the present conditions relating to production ( the appearance of raw material difficulties , the disruption or breakdown of production at factories owing to air attacks , the increased vulnerability to air attack owing to the fundamental reorganisation of the aircraft industry now in progress ) , it is believed that for the time being output will decrease rather than increase . In the event of an intensification of air warfare it is expected that the present strength of the RAF will fall , and this decline will be aggravated by the continued decrease in production . Because of this statement , reinforced by another more detailed report , issued on 10 August , there was a mindset in the ranks of the Luftwaffe that the RAF would run out of frontline fighters . The Luftwaffe believed it was weakening Fighter Command at three times the actual attrition rate . Many times , the leadership believed Fighter Command 's strength had collapsed , only to discover that the RAF were able to send up defensive formations at will . Throughout the battle , the Luftwaffe had to use numerous reconnaissance sorties to make up for the poor intelligence . Reconnaissance aircraft ( initially mostly Dornier Do 17s , but increasingly Bf 110s ) proved easy prey for British fighters , as it was seldom possible for them to be escorted by Bf 109s . Thus , the Luftwaffe operated `` blind '' for much of the battle , unsure of its enemy 's true strengths , capabilities , and deployments . Many of the Fighter Command airfields were never attacked , while raids against supposed fighter airfields fell instead on bomber or coastal defence stations . The results of bombing and air fighting were consistently exaggerated , due to inaccurate claims , over-enthusiastic reports and the difficulty of confirmation over enemy territory . In the euphoric atmosphere of perceived victory , the Luftwaffe leadership became increasingly disconnected from reality . This lack of leadership and solid intelligence meant the Germans did not adopt consistent strategy , even when the RAF had its back to the wall . Moreover , there was never a systematic focus on one type of target ( such as airbases , radar stations , or aircraft factories ) ; consequently , the already haphazard effort was further diluted . Navigational aids ( edit ) While the British were using radar for air defence more effectively than the Germans realised , the Luftwaffe attempted to press its own offensive with advanced radio navigation systems of which the British were initially not aware . One of these was Knickebein ( `` bent leg '' ) ; this system was used at night and for raids where precision was required . It was rarely used during the Battle of Britain . Air - sea rescue ( edit ) The Luftwaffe was much better prepared for the task of air - sea rescue than the RAF , specifically tasking the Seenotdienst unit , equipped with about 30 Heinkel He 59 floatplanes , with picking up downed aircrew from the North Sea , English Channel and the Dover Straits . In addition , Luftwaffe aircraft were equipped with life rafts and the aircrew were provided with sachets of a chemical called fluorescein which , on reacting with water , created a large , easy - to - see , bright green patch . In accordance with the Geneva Convention , the He 59s were unarmed and painted white with civilian registration markings and red crosses . Nevertheless , RAF aircraft attacked these aircraft , as some were escorted by Bf 109s . After single He 59s were forced to land on the sea by RAF fighters , on 1 and 9 July respectively , a controversial order was issued to the RAF on 13 July ; this stated that from 20 July , Seenotdienst aircraft were to be shot down . One of the reasons given by Churchill was : We did not recognise this means of rescuing enemy pilots so they could come and bomb our civil population again ... all German air ambulances were forced down or shot down by our fighters on definite orders approved by the War Cabinet . The British also believed that their crews would report on convoys , the Air Ministry issuing a communiqué to the German government on 14 July that Britain was unable , however , to grant immunity to such aircraft flying over areas in which operations are in progress on land or at sea , or approaching British or Allied territory , or territory in British occupation , or British or Allied ships . Ambulance aircraft which do not comply with the above will do so at their own risk and peril The white He 59s were soon repainted in camouflage colours and armed with defensive machine guns . Although another four He 59s were shot down by RAF aircraft , the Seenotdienst continued to pick up downed Luftwaffe and Allied aircrew throughout the battle , earning praise from Adolf Galland for their bravery . RAF strategy ( edit ) Commander - in - Chief , Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding 10 Group Commander , Sir Quintin Brand 11 Group Commander , Keith Park 12 Group Commander , Trafford Leigh - Mallory 13 Group Commander , Richard Saul The Dowding system ( edit ) Main article : Dowding system Chain Home radar cover During early tests of the Chain Home system , the slow flow of information from the CH radars and observers to the aircraft often caused them to miss their `` bandits '' . The solution , today known as the `` Dowding system '' , was to create a set of reporting chains to move information from the various observation points to the pilots in their fighters . It was named after its chief architect , `` Stuffy '' Dowding . Reports from CH radars and the Observer Corps were sent directly to Fighter Command Headquarters ( FCHQ ) at Bentley Priory where they were `` filtered '' to combine multiple reports of the same formations into single tracks . Telephone operators would then forward only the information of interest to the Group headquarters , where the map would be re-created . This process was repeated to produce another version of the map at the Sector level , covering a much smaller area . Looking over their maps , Group level commanders could select squadrons to attack particular targets . From that point the Sector operators would give commands to the fighters to arrange an interception , as well as return them to base . Sector stations also controlled the anti-aircraft batteries in their area ; an army officer sat beside each fighter controller and directed the gun crews when to open and cease fire . The Dowding system dramatically improved the speed and accuracy of the information that flowed to the pilots . During the early war period it was expected that an average interception mission might have a 30 % chance of ever seeing their target . During the battle , the Dowding system maintained an average rate over 75 % , with several examples of 100 % rates -- every fighter dispatched found and intercepted its target . In contrast , Luftwaffe fighters attempting to intercept raids had to randomly seek their targets and often returned home having never seen enemy aircraft . The result is what is now known as an example of `` force multiplication '' ; RAF fighters were as effective as two or more Luftwaffe fighters , greatly offsetting , or overturning , the disparity in actual numbers . Intelligence ( edit ) RAF and Luftwaffe bases , group and Luftflotte boundaries , and range of Luftwaffe Bf 109 fighters . Southern part of British radar coverage : radar in North of Scotland not shown . While Luftwaffe intelligence reports underestimated British fighter forces and aircraft production , the British intelligence estimates went the other way : they overestimated German aircraft production , numbers and range of aircraft available , and numbers of Luftwaffe pilots . In action , the Luftwaffe believed from their pilot claims and the impression given by aerial reconnaissance that the RAF was close to defeat , and the British made strenuous efforts to overcome the perceived advantages held by their opponents . It is unclear how much the British intercepts of the Enigma cipher , used for high - security German radio communications , affected the battle . Ultra , the information obtained from Enigma intercepts , gave the highest echelons of the British command a view of German intentions . According to F.W. Winterbotham , who was the senior Air Staff representative in the Secret Intelligence Service , Ultra helped establish the strength and composition of the Luftwaffe 's formations , the aims of the commanders and provided early warning of some raids . In early August it was decided that a small unit would be set up at FCHQ , which would process the flow of information from Bletchley and provide Dowding only with the most essential Ultra material ; thus the Air Ministry did not have to send a continual flow of information to FCHQ , preserving secrecy , and Dowding was not inundated with non-essential information . Keith Park and his controllers were also told about Ultra . In a further attempt to camouflage the existence of Ultra , Dowding created a unit named No. 421 ( Reconnaissance ) Flight RAF . This unit ( which later became No. 91 Squadron RAF ) , was equipped with Hurricanes and Spitfires and sent out aircraft to search for and report Luftwaffe formations approaching England . In addition the radio listening service ( known as Y Service ) , monitoring the patterns of Luftwaffe radio traffic contributed considerably to the early warning of raids . Air - sea rescue ( edit ) Main article : Royal Air Force Marine Branch One of the biggest oversights of the entire system was the lack of adequate air - sea rescue organisation . The RAF had started organising a system in 1940 with High Speed Launches ( HSLs ) based on flying boat bases and at a number of overseas locations , but it was still believed that the amount of cross-Channel traffic meant that there was no need for a rescue service to cover these areas . Downed pilots and aircrew , it was hoped , would be picked up by any boats or ships which happened to be passing by . Otherwise the local life boat would be alerted , assuming someone had seen the pilot going into the water . RAF aircrew were issued with a life jacket , nicknamed the `` Mae West , '' but in 1940 it still required manual inflation , which was almost impossible for someone who was injured or in shock . The waters of the English Channel and Dover Straits are cold , even in the middle of summer , and clothing issued to RAF aircrew did little to insulate them against these freezing conditions . The RAF also imitated the German practice of issuing fluorescein . A conference in 1939 had placed air - sea rescue under Coastal Command . Because a number of pilots had been lost at sea during the `` Channel Battle '' , on 22 August , control of RAF rescue launches was passed to the local naval authorities and 12 Lysanders were given to Fighter Command to help look for pilots at sea . In all some 200 pilots and aircrew were lost at sea during the battle . No proper air - sea rescue service was formed until 1941 . Tactics ( edit ) X4474 , a late production Mk I Spitfire of 19 Squadron , September 1940 . During the battle 19 Squadron was part of the Duxford Wing Fighter formations ( edit ) In the late 1930s , Fighter Command expected to face only bombers over Britain , not single - engined fighters . A series of `` Fighting Area Tactics '' were formulated and rigidly adhered to , involving a series of manoeuvres designed to concentrate a squadron 's firepower to bring down bombers . RAF fighters flew in tight , v - shaped sections ( `` vics '' ) of three aircraft , with four such `` sections '' in tight formation . Only the squadron leader at the front was free to watch for the enemy ; the other pilots had to concentrate on keeping station . Training also emphasised by - the - book attacks by sections breaking away in sequence . Fighter Command recognised the weaknesses of this structure early in the battle , but it was felt too risky to change tactics during the battle , because replacement pilots -- often with only minimal flying time -- could not be readily retrained , and inexperienced pilots needed firm leadership in the air only rigid formations could provide . German pilots dubbed the RAF formations Idiotenreihen ( `` rows of idiots '' ) because they left squadrons vulnerable to attack . Front line RAF pilots were acutely aware of the inherent deficiencies of their own tactics . A compromise was adopted whereby squadron formations used much looser formations with one or two `` weavers '' flying independently above and behind to provide increased observation and rear protection ; these tended to be the least experienced men and were often the first to be shot down without the other pilots even noticing that they were under attack . During the battle , 74 Squadron under Squadron Leader Adolph `` Sailor '' Malan adopted a variation of the German formation called the `` fours in line astern '' , which was a vast improvement on the old three aircraft `` vic '' . Malan 's formation was later generally used by Fighter Command . Squadron - and higher - level deployment ( edit ) The weight of the battle fell upon 11 Group . Keith Park 's tactics were to dispatch individual squadrons to intercept raids . The intention was to subject incoming bombers to continual attacks by relatively small numbers of fighters and try to break up the tight German formations . Once formations had fallen apart , stragglers could be picked off one by one . Where multiple squadrons reached a raid the procedure was for the slower Hurricanes to tackle the bombers while the more agile Spitfires held up the fighter escort . This ideal was not always achieved , resulting in occasions when Spitfires and Hurricanes reversed roles . Park also issued instructions to his units to engage in frontal attacks against the bombers , which were more vulnerable to such attacks . Again , in the environment of fast moving , three - dimensional air battles , few RAF fighter units were able to attack the bombers from head - on . During the battle , some commanders , notably Leigh - Mallory , proposed squadrons be formed into `` Big Wings , '' consisting of at least three squadrons , to attack the enemy en masse , a method pioneered by Douglas Bader . Douglas Bader commanded 242 Squadron during the battle . He also led the Duxford Wing . Proponents of this tactic claimed interceptions in large numbers caused greater enemy losses while reducing their own casualties . Opponents pointed out the big wings would take too long to form up , and the strategy ran a greater risk of fighters being caught on the ground refuelling . The big wing idea also caused pilots to overclaim their kills , due to the confusion of a more intense battle zone . This led to the belief big wings were far more effective than they were . The issue caused intense friction between Park and Leigh - Mallory , as 12 Group was tasked with protecting 11 Group 's airfields whilst Park 's squadrons intercepted incoming raids . However , the delay in forming up Big Wings meant the formations often did not arrive at all or until after German bombers had hit 11 Group 's airfields . Dowding , to highlight the problem of the Big Wing 's performance , submitted a report compiled by Park to the Air Ministry on 15 November . In the report , he highlighted that during the period of 11 September -- 31 October , the extensive use of the Big Wing had resulted in just 10 interceptions and one German aircraft destroyed , but his report was ignored . Post-war analysis agrees Dowding and Park 's approach was best for 11 Group . Dowding 's removal from his post in November 1940 has been blamed on this struggle between Park and Leigh - Mallory 's daylight strategy . However , the intensive raids and destruction wrought during the Blitz damaged both Dowding and Park in particular , for the failure to produce an effective night - fighter defence system , something for which the influential Leigh - Mallory had long criticised them . Bomber and Coastal Command contributions ( edit ) A Bristol Blenheim Mk IV of 21 Squadron . The Blenheim bomber units of Bomber and Coastal Commands bore heavy casualties while undertaking a number of tasks during the battle . Bomber Command and Coastal Command aircraft flew offensive sorties against targets in Germany and France during the battle . An hour after the declaration of war , Bomber Command launched raids on warships and naval ports by day , and in night raids dropped leaflets as it was considered illegal to bomb targets which could affect civilians . After the initial disasters of the war , with Vickers Wellington bombers shot down in large numbers attacking Wilhelmshaven and the slaughter of the Fairey Battle squadrons sent to France , it became clear that they would have to operate mainly at night to avoid incurring very high losses . Churchill came to power on 10 May 1940 , and night raids on German towns began with the bombing of Mönchen - Gladbach on the night of 11 May . The War Cabinet on 12 May agreed that German actions justified `` unrestricted warfare '' , and on 14 May they authorised an attack on the night of 14 / 15 May against oil and rail targets in Germany . At the urging of Clement Attlee , the Cabinet on 15 May authorised a full bombing strategy against `` suitable military objectives '' , even where there could be civilian casualties . That evening , a night time bomber campaign began against the German oil industry , communications , and forests / crops , mainly in the Ruhr area . The RAF lacked accurate night navigation , and carried small bomb loads . As the threat mounted , Bomber Command changed targeting priority on 3 June 1940 to attack the German aircraft industry . On 4 July , the Air Ministry gave Bomber Command orders to attack ports and shipping . By September , the build - up of invasion barges in the Channel ports had become a top priority target . On 7 September , the government issued a warning that the invasion could be expected within the next few days and , that night , Bomber Command attacked the Channel ports and supply dumps . On 13 September , they carried out another large raid on the Channel ports , sinking 80 large barges in the port of Ostend. 84 barges were sunk in Dunkirk after another raid on 17 September and by 19 September , almost 200 barges had been sunk . The loss of these barges may have contributed to Hitler 's decision to postpone Operation Sea Lion indefinitely . The success of these raids was in part because the Germans had few Freya radar stations set up in France , so that air defences of the French harbours were not nearly as good as the air defences over Germany ; Bomber Command had directed some 60 % of its strength against the Channel ports . Wellington crews studying maps at a briefing with the station commander , September 1940 The Bristol Blenheim units also raided German - occupied airfields throughout July to December 1940 , both during daylight hours and at night . Although most of these raids were unproductive , there were some successes ; on 1 August , five out of twelve Blenheims sent to attack Haamstede and Evere ( Brussels ) were able to bomb , destroying or heavily damaging three Bf 109s of II. / JG 27 and apparently killing a Staffelkapitän identified as a Hauptmann Albrecht von Ankum - Frank . Two other 109s were claimed by Blenheim gunners . Another successful raid on Haamstede was made by a single Blenheim on 7 August which destroyed one 109 of 4. / JG 54 , heavily damaged another and caused lighter damage to four more . German invasion barges waiting at Boulogne Harbour , France during the Battle of Britain There were some missions which produced an almost 100 % casualty rate amongst the Blenheims ; one such operation was mounted on 13 August 1940 against a Luftwaffe airfield near Aalborg in north - eastern Denmark by 12 aircraft of 82 Squadron . One Blenheim returned early ( the pilot was later charged and due to appear before a court martial , but was killed on another operation ) ; the other eleven , which reached Denmark , were shot down , five by flak and six by Bf 109s . Of the 33 crewmen who took part in the attack , 20 were killed and 13 captured . As well as the bombing operations , Blenheim - equipped units had been formed to carry out long - range strategic reconnaissance missions over Germany and German - occupied territories . In this role , the Blenheims again proved to be too slow and vulnerable against Luftwaffe fighters , and they took constant casualties . Coastal Command directed its attention towards the protection of British shipping , and the destruction of enemy shipping . As invasion became more likely , it participated in the strikes on French harbours and airfields , laying mines , and mounting numerous reconnaissance missions over the enemy - held coast . In all , some 9,180 sorties were flown by bombers from July to October 1940 . Although this was much less than the 80,000 sorties flown by fighters , bomber crews suffered about half the total number of casualties borne by their fighter colleagues . The bomber contribution was , therefore , much more dangerous on a loss - per - sortie comparison . Bomber , reconnaissance , and antisubmarine patrol operations continued throughout these months with little respite and none of the publicity accorded to Fighter Command . In his famous 20 August speech about `` The Few '' , praising Fighter Command , Churchill also made a point of mentioning Bomber Command 's contribution , adding that bombers were even then striking back at Germany ; this part of the speech is often overlooked , even today . The Battle of Britain Chapel in Westminster Abbey lists in a roll of honour , 718 Bomber Command crew members , and 280 from Coastal Command who were killed between 10 July and 31 October . Bomber and Coastal Command attacks against invasion barge concentrations in Channel ports were widely reported by the British media during September and October 1940 . In what became known as ' the Battle of the Barges ' RAF attacks were claimed in British propaganda to have sunk large numbers of barges , and to have created widespread chaos and disruption to German invasion preparations . Given the volume of British propaganda interest in these bomber attacks during September and earlier October , it is striking how quickly this was overlooked once the Battle of Britain had been concluded . Even by mid-war the bomber pilots ' efforts had been largely eclipsed by a continuing focus on the Few , this a result of the Air Ministry 's continuing valorisation of the '' fighter boys '' , beginning with the March 1941 Battle of Britain propaganda pamphlet . Phases of the Battle ( edit ) German Heinkel He 111 bombers over the English Channel 1940 The battle covered a shifting geographical area , and there have been differing opinions on significant dates : when the Air Ministry proposed 8 August as the start , Dowding responded that operations `` merged into one another almost insensibly '' , and proposed 10 July as the onset of increased attacks . With the caution that phases drifted into each other and dates are not firm , the Royal Air Force Museum states that five main phases can be identified : 26 June -- 16 July : Störangriffe ( `` nuisance raids '' ) , scattered small scale probing attacks both day and night , armed reconnaissance and mine - laying sorties . From 4 July , daylight Kanalkampf ( `` the Channel battles '' ) against shipping . 17 July -- 12 August : daylight Kanalkampf attacks on shipping intensify through this period , increased attacks on ports and coastal airfields , night raids on RAF and aircraft manufacturing . 13 August -- 6 September : Adlerangriff ( `` Eagle Attack '' ) , the main assault ; attempt to destroy the RAF in southern England , including massive daylight attacks on RAF airfields , followed from 19 August by heavy night bombing of ports and industrial cities , including suburbs of London . 7 September -- 2 October : the Blitz commences , main focus day and night attacks on London . 3 -- 31 October : large scale night bombing raids , mostly on London ; daylight attacks now confined to small scale fighter - bomber Störangriffe raids luring RAF fighters into dogfights . Small scale raids ( edit ) The RAF night bombing campaign against military objectives in German towns began on 11 May . The small forces available were given ambitious objectives , but lacked night navigation capability and their isolated inaccurate attacks were thought by the Germans to be intended to terrorise civilians . From 4 July the RAF achieved some successes with raids on Channel ports , anticipating the build up for an invasion . Following Germany 's rapid territorial gains in the Battle of France , the Luftwaffe had to reorganise its forces , set up bases along the coast , and rebuild after heavy losses . It began small scale bombing raids on Britain on the night of 5 / 6 June , and continued sporadic attacks throughout June and July . The first large - scale attack was at night , on 18 / 19 June , when small raids scattered between Yorkshire and Kent involved in total 100 bombers . These Störangriffe ( `` nuisance raids '' ) which involved only a few aeroplanes , sometimes just one , were used to train bomber crews in both day and night attacks , to test defences and try out methods , with most flights at night . They found that , rather than carrying small numbers of large high explosive bombs , it was more effective to use more small bombs , similarly incendiaries had to cover a large area to set effective fires . These training flights continued through August and into the first week of September . Against this , the raids also gave the British time to assess the German tactics , and invaluable time for the RAF fighters and anti-aircraft defences to prepare and gain practice . Interior of RAF Fighter Command 's Sector ' G ' Operations Room at Duxford , 1940 The attacks were widespread : over the night of 30 June alarms were set off in 20 counties by just 20 bombers , then next day the first daylight raids occurred during 1 July , on both Hull in Yorkshire and Wick , Caithness . On 3 July most flights were reconnaissance sorties , but 15 civilians were killed when bombs hit Guildford in Surrey . Numerous small Störangriffe raids , both day and night , were made daily through August , September and into the winter , with aims including bringing RAF fighters up to battle , destruction of specific military and economic targets , and setting off air - raid warnings to affect civilian morale : four major air - raids in August involved hundreds of bombers , in the same month 1,062 small raids were made , spread across the whole of Britain . Channel battles ( edit ) The Kanalkampf comprised a series of running fights over convoys in the English Channel . It was launched partly because Kesselring and Sperrle were not sure about what else to do , and partly because it gave German aircrews some training and a chance to probe the British defences . Dowding could provide only minimal shipping protection , and these battles off the coast tended to favour the Germans , whose bomber escorts had the advantage of altitude and outnumbered the RAF fighters . From 9 July reconnaissance probing by Dornier Do 17 bombers put a severe strain on RAF pilots and machines , with high RAF losses to Bf 109s . When nine 141 Squadron Defiants went into action on 19 July six were lost to Bf 109s before a squadron of Hurricanes intervened . On 25 July a coal convoy and escorting destroyers suffered such heavy losses to attacks by Stuka dive bombers that the Admiralty decided convoys should travel at night : the RAF shot down 16 raiders but lost 7 aircraft . By 8 August 18 coal ships and 4 destroyers had been sunk , but the Navy was determined to send a convoy of 20 ships through rather than move the coal by railway . After repeated Stuka attacks that day , six ships were badly damaged , four were sunk and only four reached their destination . The RAF lost 19 fighters and shot down 31 German aircraft . The Navy now cancelled all further convoys through the Channel and sent the cargo by rail . Even so , these early combat encounters provided both sides with experience . Main assault ( edit ) The main attack upon the RAF 's defences was code - named Adlerangriff ( `` Eagle Attack '' ) . Intelligence reports gave Göring the impression that the RAF was almost defeated , and raids would attract British fighters for the Luftwaffe to shoot down . The strategy agreed on 6 August was to destroy RAF Fighter Command across the south of England in four days , then bombing of military and economic targets was to systematically extend up to the Midlands until daylight attacks could proceed unhindered over the whole of Britain , culminating in a major bombing attack on London . Assault on RAF : radar and airfields ( edit ) East Coast Chain Home radar station Poor weather delayed Adlertag ( `` Eagle Day '' ) until 13 August 1940 . On 12 August , the first attempt was made to blind the Dowding system , when aircraft from the specialist fighter - bomber unit Erprobungsgruppe 210 attacked four radar stations . Three were briefly taken off the air but were back working within six hours . The raids appeared to show that British radars were difficult to knock out . The failure to mount follow - up attacks allowed the RAF to get the stations back on the air , and the Luftwaffe neglected strikes on the supporting infrastructure , such as phone lines and power stations , which could have rendered the radars useless , even if the towers themselves ( which were very difficult to destroy ) remained intact . Adlertag opened with a series of attacks , led again by Epro 210 , on coastal airfields used as forward landing grounds for the RAF fighters , as well as ' satellite airfields ' ( including Manston and Hawkinge ) . As the week drew on , the airfield attacks moved further inland , and repeated raids were made on the radar chain . 15 August was `` The Greatest Day '' when the Luftwaffe mounted the largest number of sorties of the campaign . Luftflotte 5 attacked the north of England . Believing Fighter Command strength to be concentrated in the south , raiding forces from Denmark and Norway ran into unexpectedly strong resistance . Inadequately escorted by Bf 110s , bombers were shot down in large numbers . North East England was attacked by 65 Heinkel 111s escorted by 34 Messerschmitt 110s , and RAF Great Driffield was attacked by 50 unescorted Junkers 88s . Out of 115 bombers and 35 fighters sent , 75 planes were destroyed and many others damaged beyond repair . Furthermore , due to early engagement by RAF fighters many of the bombers dropped their payloads ineffectivley early . As a result of these casualties , Luftflotte 5 did not appear in strength again in the campaign . Czechoslovak fighter pilots of No. 310 Squadron RAF at RAF Duxford in 1940 18 August , which had the greatest number of casualties to both sides , has been dubbed `` The Hardest Day '' . Following this grinding battle , exhaustion and the weather reduced operations for most of a week , allowing the Luftwaffe to review their performance . `` The Hardest Day '' had sounded the end for the Ju 87 in the campaign . This veteran of Blitzkrieg was too vulnerable to fighters to operate over Britain . So as to preserve the Stuka force , Göring withdrew them from the fighting . This removed the main Luftwaffe precision - bombing weapon and shifted the burden of pinpoint attacks on the already - stretched Erpro 210 . The Bf 110 proved too clumsy for dogfighting with single - engined fighters , and its participation was scaled back . It would only be used when range required it or when sufficient single - engined escort could not be provided for the bombers . Pilots of No. 19 Squadron RAF relax in the crew room at RAF Fowlmere , 1940 Göring made yet another fateful decision : to order more bomber escorts at the expense of free - hunting sweeps . To achieve this , the weight of the attack now fell on Luftflotte 2 , and the bulk of the Bf 109s in Luftflotte 3 were transferred to Kesselring 's command , reinforcing the fighter bases in the Pas - de-Calais . Stripped of its fighters , Luftflotte 3 would concentrate on the night bombing campaign . Göring , expressing disappointment with the fighter performance thus far in the campaign , also made sweeping changes in the command structure of the fighter units , replacing many Geschwaderkommodore with younger , more aggressive pilots like Adolf Galland and Werner Mölders . Finally , Göring stopped the attacks on the radar chain . These were seen as unsuccessful , and neither the Reichsmarschall nor his subordinates realised how vital the Chain Home stations were to the defence systems . It was known that radar provided some early warning of raids , but the belief among German fighter pilots was that anything bringing up the `` Tommies '' to fight was to be encouraged . Raids on British cities ( edit ) On the afternoon of 15 August , Hauptmann Walter Rubensdörffer leading Erprobungsgruppe 210 mistakenly bombed Croydon airfield ( on the outskirts of London ) instead of the intended target , RAF Kenley . German intelligence reports made the Luftwaffe optimistic that the RAF , thought to be dependent on local air control , was struggling with supply problems and pilot losses . After a major raid attacking Biggin Hill on 18 August , Luftwaffe aircrew said they had been unopposed , the airfield was `` completely destroyed '' , and asked `` Is England already finished ? '' In accordance with the strategy agreed on 6 August , defeat of the RAF was to be followed by bombing military and economic targets , systematically extending up to the Midlands . Göring ordered attacks on aircraft factories on 19 August 1940 . Sixty raids on the night of 19 / 20 August targeted the aircraft industry and harbours , and bombs fell on suburban areas around London : Croydon , Wimbledon and the Maldens . Night raids were made on 21 / 22 August on Aberdeen , Bristol and South Wales . That morning , bombs were dropped on Harrow and Wealdstone , on the outskirts of London . Overnight on 22 / 23 August , the output of an aircraft factory at Filton near Bristol was drastically affected by a raid in which Ju88 bombers released over 16 tons of high explosive bombs . On the night of 23 / 24 August over 200 bombers attacked the Fort Dunlop tyre factory in Birmingham , with a significant effect on production . A sustained bombing campaign began on 24 August with the largest raid so far , killing 100 in Portsmouth , and that night , several areas of London were bombed ; the East End was set ablaze and bombs landed on central London . Some historians believe that these bombs were dropped accidentally by a group of Heinkel He 111s which had failed to find their target ; this account has been contested . More night raids were made around London on 24 / 25 August , when bombs fell on Croydon , Banstead , Lewisham , Uxbridge , Harrow and Hayes . London was on red alert over the night of 28 / 29 August , with bombs reported in Finchley , St Pancras , Wembley , Wood Green , Southgate , Old Kent Road , Mill Hill , Ilford , Chigwell and Hendon . Attacks on airfields from 24 August ( edit ) Polish 303 squadron pilots , 1940 . Left to right : P / O Ferić , Flt Lt Kent , F / O Grzeszczak , P / O Radomski , P / O Zumbach , P / O Łokuciewski , F / O Henneberg , Sgt . Rogowski , Sgt . Szaposznikow . Göring 's directive issued on 23 August 1940 ordered ceaseless attacks on the aircraft industry and on RAF ground organisation to force the RAF to use its fighters , continuing the tactic of luring them up to be destroyed , and added that focussed attacks were to be made on RAF airfields . From 24 August onwards , the battle was a fight between Kesselring 's Luftflotte 2 and Park 's 11 Group . The Luftwaffe concentrated all their strength on knocking out Fighter Command and made repeated attacks on the airfields . Of the 33 heavy attacks in the following two weeks , 24 were against airfields . The key sector stations were hit repeatedly : Biggin Hill and Hornchurch four times each ; Debden and North Weald twice each . Croydon , Gravesend , Rochford , Hawkinge and Manston were also attacked in strength . Coastal Command 's Eastchurch was bombed at least seven times because it was believed to be a Fighter Command aerodrome . At times these raids caused some damage to the sector stations , threatening the integrity of the Dowding system . To offset some losses , some 58 Fleet Air Arm fighter pilot volunteers were seconded to RAF squadrons , and a similar number of former Fairey Battle pilots were used . Most replacements from Operational Training Units ( OTUs ) had as little as nine hours flying time and no gunnery or air - to - air combat training . At this point , the multinational nature of Fighter Command came to the fore . Many squadrons and personnel from the air forces of the Dominions were already attached to the RAF , including top level commanders -- Australians , Canadians , New Zealanders , Rhodesians and South Africans . In addition , there were other nationalities represented , including Free French , Belgian and a Jewish pilot from the British mandate of Palestine . They were bolstered by the arrival of fresh Czechoslovak and Polish squadrons . These had been held back by Dowding , who mistakenly thought non-English speaking aircrew would have trouble working within his control system : Polish and Czech fliers proved to be especially effective . The pre-war Polish Air Force had lengthy and extensive training , and high standards ; with Poland conquered and under brutal German occupation , the pilots of No. 303 ( Polish ) Squadron , the highest - scoring Allied unit , were strongly motivated . Josef František , a Czech regular airman who had flown from the occupation of his own country to join the Polish and then French air forces before arriving in Britain , flew as a guest of 303 Squadron and was ultimately credited with the highest `` RAF score '' in the Battle of Britain . The RAF had the advantage of fighting over home territory . Pilots who bailed out of their downed aircraft could be back at their airfields within hours , while if low on fuel and / or ammunition they could be immediately rearmed . One RAF pilot interviewed in late 1940 had been shot down five times during the Battle of Britain , but was able to crash land in Britain or bail out each time . For Luftwaffe aircrews , a bailout over England meant capture -- in the critical August period , almost exactly as many Luftwaffe pilots were taken prisoner as were killed -- while parachuting into the English Channel often meant drowning or death from exposure . Morale began to suffer , and ( Kanalkrankheit ) ( `` Channel sickness '' ) -- a form of combat fatigue -- began to appear among the German pilots . Their replacement problem became even worse than the British . Assessment of attempt to destroy the RAF ( edit ) The effect of the German attacks on airfields is unclear . According to Stephen Bungay , Dowding , in a letter to Hugh Trenchard accompanying Park 's report on the period 8 August -- 10 September 1940 , states that the Luftwaffe `` achieved very little '' in the last week of August and the first week of September . The only Sector Station to be shut down operationally was Biggin Hill , and it was non-operational for just two hours . Dowding admitted 11 Group 's efficiency was impaired but , despite serious damage to some airfields , only two out of 13 heavily attacked airfields were down for more than a few hours . The German refocus on London was not critical . Retired air marshal Peter Dye , head of the RAF Museum , discussed the logistics of the battle in 2000 and 2010 , dealing specifically with the single - seat fighters . Dye contends that not only was British aircraft production replacing aircraft , but replacement pilots were keeping pace with losses . The number of pilots in RAF Fighter Command increased during July , August and September . The figures indicate the number of pilots available never decreased : from July 1,200 were available , and from 1 August , 1,400 were available . Just over that number were in the field by September . In October the figure was nearly 1,600 . By 1 November 1,800 were available . Throughout the battle , the RAF had more fighter pilots available than the Luftwaffe . Although the RAF 's reserves of single seat fighters fell during July , the wastage was made up for by an efficient Civilian Repair Organisation ( CRO ) , which by December had repaired and put back into service some 4,955 aircraft , and by aircraft held at Air Servicing Unit ( ASU ) airfields . Pilots of No. 66 Squadron at Gravesend , September 1940 Richard Overy agrees with Dye and Bungay . Overy asserts only one airfield was temporarily put out of action and `` only '' 103 pilots were lost . British fighter production produced 496 new aircraft in July and 467 in August , and another 467 in September ( not counting repaired aircraft ) , covering the losses of August and September . Overy indicates the number of serviceable and total strength returns reveal an increase in fighters from 3 August to 7 September , 1,061 on strength and 708 serviceable to 1,161 on strength and 746 serviceable . Moreover , Overy points out that the number of RAF fighter pilots grew by one - third between June and August 1940 . Personnel records show a constant supply of around 1,400 pilots in the crucial weeks of the battle . In the second half of September it reached 1,500 . The shortfall of pilots was never above 10 % . The Germans never had more than between 1,100 and 1,200 pilots , a deficiency of up to one - third . `` If Fighter Command were ' the few ' , the German fighter pilots were fewer '' . Other scholars assert that this period was the most dangerous of all . In The Narrow Margin , published in 1961 , historians Derek Wood and Derek Dempster believed that the two weeks from 24 August to 6 September represented a real danger . According to them , from 24 August to 6 September 295 fighters had been totally destroyed and 171 badly damaged , against a total output of 269 new and repaired Spitfires and Hurricanes . They assert that 103 pilots were killed or missing and 128 were wounded , which represented a total wastage of 120 pilots per week out of a fighting strength of just fewer than 1,000 . They conclude that during August no more than 260 fighter pilots were turned out by OTUs and casualties in the same month were just over 300 . A full squadron establishment was 26 pilots whereas the average in August was 16 . In their assessment , the RAF was losing the battle . Denis Richards , in his 1953 contribution to the official British account History of the Second World War , agreed that lack of pilots , especially experienced ones , was the RAF 's greatest problem . He states that between 8 and 18 August 154 RAF pilots were killed , severely wounded , or missing , while only 63 new pilots were trained . Availability of aircraft was also a serious issue . While its reserves during the Battle of Britain never declined to a half dozen planes as some later claimed , Richards describes 24 August to 6 September as the critical period because during these two weeks Germany destroyed far more aircraft through its attacks on 11 Group 's southeast bases than Britain was producing . Three more weeks of such a pace would indeed have exhausted aircraft reserves . Germany had seen heavy losses of pilots and aircraft as well however , thus its shift to night - time attacks in September . On 7 September RAF aircraft losses fell below British production and remained so until the end of the war . Day and night attacks on London : start of the Blitz ( edit ) Main articles : The Blitz and Battle of Britain Day Calais , September 1940 . Göring giving a speech to pilots about the change in tactics : to bomb London instead of the airfields Hitler 's `` Directive No. 17 -- For the conduct of air and sea warfare against England '' issued on 1 August 1940 , reserved to himself the right to decide on terror attacks as measures of reprisal . Hitler issued a directive that London was not to be bombed save on his sole instruction . In preparation , detailed target plans under the code name Operation Loge for raids on communications , power stations , armaments works and docks in the Port of London were distributed to the Fliegerkorps in July . The port areas were crowded next to residential housing and civilian casualties would be expected , but this would combine military and economic targets with indirect effects on morale . The strategy agreed on 6 August was for raids on military and economic targets in towns and cities to culminate in a major attack on London . In mid August raids were made on targets on the outskirts of London . Luftwaffe doctrine included the possibility of retaliatory attacks on cities , and since 11 May small scale night raids by RAF Bomber Command had frequently bombed residential areas . The Germans assumed this was deliberate , and as the raids increased in frequency and scale the population grew impatient for measures of revenge . On 25 August 1940 , 81 bombers of Bomber Command were sent out to raid industrial and commercial targets in Berlin . Clouds prevented accurate identification and the bombs fell across the city , causing some casualties among the civilian population as well as damage to residential areas . Continuing RAF raids on Berlin led to Hitler withdrawing his directive on 30 August , and giving the go - ahead to the planned bombing offensive . On 3 September Göring planned to bomb London daily , with General Albert Kesselring 's enthusiastic support , having received reports the average strength of RAF squadrons was down to five or seven fighters out of twelve and their airfields in the area were out of action . Hitler issued a directive on 5 September to attack cities including London . In his widely publicised speech delivered on 4 September 1940 , Hitler condemned the bombing of Berlin and presented the planned attacks on London as reprisals . The first daylight raid was titled Vergeltungsangriff ( revenge attack ) . On 7 September , a massive series of raids involving nearly four hundred bombers and more than six hundred fighters targeted docks in the East End of London , day and night . The RAF anticipated attacks on airfields and 11 Group rose to meet them , in greater numbers than the Luftwaffe expected . The first official deployment of 12 Group 's Leigh - Mallory 's Big Wing took twenty minutes to form up , missing its intended target , but encountering another formation of bombers while still climbing . They returned , apologetic about their limited success , and blamed the delay on being scrambled too late . Air - raid shelter in London , 1940 The German press jubilantly announced that `` one great cloud of smoke stretches tonight from the middle of London to the mouth of the Thames . '' Reports reflected the briefings given to crews before the raids -- `` Everyone knew about the last cowardly attacks on German cities , and thought about wives , mothers and children . And then came that word ' Vengeance ! ' '' Pilots reported seeing ruined airfields as they flew towards London , appearances which gave intelligence reports the impression of devastated defences . Göring maintained that the RAF was close to defeat , making invasion feasible . Fighter Command had been at its lowest ebb , short of men and machines , and the break from airfield attacks allowed them to recover . 11 Group had considerable success in breaking up daytime raids. 12 Group repeatedly disobeyed orders and failed to meet requests to protect 11 Group airfields , but their experiments with increasingly large Big Wings had some success . The Luftwaffe began to abandon their morning raids , with attacks on London starting late in the afternoon for fifty - seven consecutive nights . Members of the London Auxiliary Firefighting Service The most damaging aspect to the Luftwaffe of targeting London was the increase in range . The Bf 109E escorts had a limited fuel capacity resulting in only a 660 km ( 410 mile ) maximum range solely on internal fuel , and when they arrived had only 10 minutes of flying time before turning for home , leaving the bombers undefended by fighter escorts . Its eventual stablemate , the Focke - Wulf Fw 190 A , was flying only in prototype form in the summer of 1940 ; the first 28 Fw 190s were not delivered until November 1940 . The Fw 190A - 1 had a maximum range of 940 km ( 584 miles ) on internal fuel , 40 % greater than the Bf 109E . The Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-7 corrected this deficiency by adding a ventral centre - line ordnance rack to take either an SC 250 bomb or a standard 300 litre Luftwaffe drop tank to double the range to 1,325 km ( 820 mi ) . The ordnance rack was not retrofitted to earlier Bf 109Es until October 1940 . On 14 September , Hitler chaired a meeting with the OKW staff . Göring was in France directing the decisive battle , so Erhard Milch deputised for him . Hitler asked `` Should we call it off altogether ? '' . General Hans Jeschonnek , Luftwaffe Chief of Staff , begged for a last chance to defeat the RAF and for permission to launch attacks on civilian residential areas to cause mass panic . Hitler refused the latter , perhaps unaware of how much damage had already been done to civilian targets . He reserved for himself the power to unleash the terror weapon . Instead political will was to be broken by destroying the material infrastructure , the weapons industry , and stocks of fuel and food . On 15 September , two massive waves of German attacks were decisively repulsed by the RAF by deploying every aircraft in 11 Group . Sixty German and 26 RAF aircraft were shot down . Two days after the German defeat Hitler postponed preparations for the invasion of Britain . Henceforth , in the face of mounting losses in men , aircraft and the lack of adequate replacements , the Luftwaffe completed their gradual shift from daylight bomber raids and continued with nighttime bombing . 15 September is commemorated as Battle of Britain Day . Night time Blitz , fighter - bomber day raids ( edit ) Main article : The Blitz At the 14 September OKW conference , Hitler acknowledged that the Luftwaffe had still not gained the air superiority needed for the Operation Sealion invasion . In agreement with Raeder 's written recommendation , Hitler said the campaign was to intensify regardless of invasion plans : `` The decisive thing is the ceaseless continuation of air attacks . '' Jeschonnek proposed attacking residential areas to cause `` mass panic '' , but Hitler turned this down : he reserved to himself the option of terror bombing . British morale was to be broken by destroying infrastructure , armaments manufacturing , fuel and food stocks . On 16 September , Göring gave the order for this change in strategy . This new phase was to be the first independent strategic bombing campaign , in hopes of a political success forcing the British to give up . Hitler hoped it might result in `` eight million going mad '' ( referring to the population of London in 1940 ) , which would `` cause a catastrophe '' for the British . In those circumstances , Hitler said , `` even a small invasion might go a long way '' . Hitler was against cancelling the invasion as `` the cancellation would reach the ears of the enemy and strengthen his resolve '' . On 19 September , Hitler ordered a reduction in work on Sealion . He doubted if strategic bombing could achieve its aims , but ending the air war would be an open admission of defeat . He had to maintain the appearance of concentration on defeating Britain , to conceal from Joseph Stalin his covert aim to invade the Soviet Union . Gun camera film shows tracer ammunition from a Supermarine Spitfire Mark I of 609 Squadron , flown by Flight Lieutenant JHG McArthur , hitting a Heinkel He 111 on its starboard quarter . These aircraft were part of a large formation from KG 53 and 55 which attacked the Bristol Aeroplane Company 's works at Filton , Bristol , just before midday on 25 September 1940 . Throughout the battle , most Luftwaffe bombing raids had been at night . They increasingly suffered unsustainable losses in daylight raids , and the last massive daytime attacks were on 15 September . A raid of 70 bombers on 18 September also suffered badly , and day raids were gradually phased out leaving the main attacks at night . Fighter command still lacked any successful way of intercepting night - time raiders , the night fighter force was mostly Blenheims and Beaufighters , and lacked airborne radar so had no way of finding the bombers . Anti-aircraft guns were diverted to London 's defences , but had a much reduced success rate against night attacks . From mid September , Luftwaffe daylight bombing was gradually taken over by a Bf 109 fighters , adapted to take one 250 kg bomb . Small groups of fighter - bombers would carry out Störangriffe raids escorted by large escort formations of about 200 to 300 combat fighters . They flew at altitudes over 20,000 feet ( 6,100 m ) where the Bf109 had an advantage over RAF fighters , except the Spitfire . The raids disturbed civilians , and continued the war of attrition against Fighter Command . The raids were intended to carry out precision bombing on military or economic targets , but it was hard to achieve sufficient accuracy with the single bomb . Sometimes , when attacked , the fighter - bombers had to jettison the bomb to function as fighters . The RAF was at a disadvantage , and changed defensive tactics by introducing standing patrols of Spitfires at high altitude to monitor incoming raids . On a sighting , other patrols at lower altitude would fly up to join the battle . A Junkers Ju 88 returning from a raid on London was shot down in Kent on 27 September resulting in the Battle of Graveney Marsh , the last action between British and foreign military forces on British mainland soil . German bombing of Britain reached its peak in October and November 1940 . In post war interrogation , Wilhelm Keitel described the aims as economic blockade , in conjunction with submarine warfare , and attrition of Britain 's military and economic resources . The Luftwaffe wanted to achieve victory on its own , and was reluctant to cooperate with the navy . Their strategy for blockade was to destroy ports and storage facilities in towns and cities . Priorities were based on the pattern of trade and distribution , so for these months London was the main target . In November their attention turned to other ports and industrial targets around Britain . Hitler postponed the Sealion invasion on 13 October `` until the spring of 1941 '' . It was not until Hitler 's Directive 21 was issued , on 18 December 1940 , that the threat to Britain of invasion finally ended . Royal family ( edit ) During the battle , and for the rest of the war , an important factor in keeping public morale high was the continued presence in London of King George VI and his wife Queen Elizabeth . When war broke out in 1939 , the King and Queen decided to stay in London and not flee to Canada , as had been suggested . George VI and Elizabeth officially stayed in Buckingham Palace throughout the war , although they often spent weekends at Windsor Castle to visit their daughters , Elizabeth ( the future queen ) and Margaret . Buckingham Palace was damaged by bombs which landed in the grounds on 10 September and , on 13 September , more serious damage was caused by two bombs which destroyed the Royal Chapel . The royal couple were in a small sitting room about 80 yards from where the bombs exploded . On 24 September , in recognition of the bravery of civilians , King George VI inaugurated the award of the George Cross . Attrition statistics ( edit ) See also : Confirmation and overclaiming of aerial victories Overall , by 2 November , the RAF fielded 1,796 pilots , an increase of over 40 % from July 1940 's count of 1,259 pilots . Based on German sources ( from a Luftwaffe intelligence officer Otto Bechtle attached to KG 2 in February 1944 ) translated by the Air Historical Branch , Stephen Bungay asserts German fighter and bomber `` strength '' declined without recovery , and that from August -- December 1940 , the German fighter and bomber strength declined by 30 and 25 percent . In contrast , Williamson Murray , argues ( using translations by the Air Historical Branch ) that 1,380 German bombers were on strength on 29 June 1940 , 1,420 bombers on 28 September , 1,423 level bombers on 2 November and 1,393 bombers on 30 November 1940 . In July -- September the number of Luftwaffe pilots available fell by 136 , but the number of operational pilots had shrunk by 171 by September . The training organisation of the Luftwaffe was failing to replace losses . German fighter pilots , in contrast to popular perception , were not afforded training or rest rotations unlike their British counterparts . The first week of September accounted for 25 % of the Fighter Command , and 24 % of the Luftwaffe 's overall losses . Between the dates 26 August -- 6 September , on only one day ( 1 September ) did the Germans destroy more aircraft than they lost . Losses were 325 German and 248 British . Luftwaffe losses for August numbered 774 aircraft to all causes , representing 18.5 % of all combat aircraft at the beginning of the month . Fighter Command 's losses in August were 426 fighters destroyed , amounting to 40 per cent of 1,061 fighters available on 3 August . In addition , 99 German bombers and 27 other types were destroyed between 1 and 29 August . From July to September , the Luftwaffe 's loss records indicate the loss of 1,636 aircraft , 1,184 to enemy action . This represented 47 % of the initial strength of single - engined fighters , 66 % of twin - engined fighters , and 45 % of bombers . This indicates the Germans were running out of aircrew as well as aircraft . Throughout the battle , the Germans greatly underestimated the size of the RAF and the scale of British aircraft production . Across the Channel , the Air Intelligence division of the Air Ministry consistently overestimated the size of the German air enemy and the productive capacity of the German aviation industry . As the battle was fought , both sides exaggerated the losses inflicted on the other by an equally large margin . However , the intelligence picture formed before the battle encouraged the Luftwaffe to believe that such losses pushed Fighter Command to the very edge of defeat , while the exaggerated picture of German air strength persuaded the RAF that the threat it faced was larger and more dangerous than was the case . This led the British to the conclusion that another fortnight of attacks on airfields might force Fighter Command to withdraw their squadrons from the south of England . The German misconception , on the other hand , encouraged first complacency , then strategic misjudgement . The shift of targets from air bases to industry and communications was taken because it was assumed that Fighter Command was virtually eliminated . Between 24 August and 4 September , German serviceability rates , which were acceptable at Stuka units , were running at 75 % with Bf 109s , 70 % with bombers and 65 % with Bf 110s , indicating a shortage of spare parts . All units were well below established strength . The attrition was beginning to affect the fighters in particular . '' By 14 September , the Luftwaffe 's Bf 109 Geschwader possessed only 67 % of their operational crews against authorised aircraft . For Bf 110 units it was 46 per cent ; and for bombers it was 59 per cent . A week later the figures had dropped to 64 per cent , 52 % and 52 per cent . Serviceability rates in Fighter Command 's fighter squadrons , between 24 August and 7 September , were listed as : 64.8 % on 24 August ; 64.7 % on 31 August and 64.25 % on 7 September 1940 . Due to the failure of the Luftwaffe to establish air supremacy , a conference assembled on 14 September at Hitler 's headquarters . Hitler concluded that air superiority had not yet been established and `` promised to review the situation on 17 September for possible landings on 27 September or 8 October . Three days later , when the evidence was clear that the German Air Force had greatly exaggerated the extent of their successes against the RAF , Hitler postponed Sea Lion indefinitely . '' Propaganda War ( edit ) Propaganda was an important element of the air war which began to develop over Britain from 18 June 1940 onwards , when the Luftwaffe began small , probing daylight raids to test RAF defences . One of many examples of these small - scale raids was the destruction of a school at Polruan in Cornwall , by a single raider . Into early July , the British media 's focus on the air battles increased steadily , the press , magazines , BBC radio and newsreels daily conveying the contents of Air Ministry communiques . The German OKW communiques matched Britain 's efforts in claiming for the upper hand . Central to the propaganda war on both sides of the Channel were aircraft claims , this discussed under ' Attrition statistics ' . These daily claims were important both for sustaining British home front morale and persuading America to support Britain , and were produced by the Air Ministry 's Air Intelligence branch . Under pressure from American journalists and broadcasters to prove that the RAF 's claims were genuine , RAF intelligence compared pilots ' claims with actual aircraft wrecks and those seen to crash into the sea . It was soon realised that there was a discrepancy between the two , but the Air Ministry decided not to reveal this . In fact , it was not until May 1947 that the actual figures were released to the public , by which time it was of far less importance . Many though refused to believe the revised figures , including Douglas Bader . The place of the Battle of Britain in British popular memory is due in no small part to the successful propaganda campaign waged by the Air Ministry , between July -- October 1940 , but also in valorising the Few from March 1941 onwards . The publication of the immensely successful 3d pamphlet , The Battle of Britain , saw huge international sales , leading even Goebbels to admire its propaganda value . Focusing only upon the Few , with no mention of RAF bomber attacks against invasion barges , the Battle of Britain was soon established as a major victory for Fighter Command . This in turn inspired a wide range of feature films , books , magazines , works of art , poetry , radio plays and MOI short films . It is notable that this most impressive of British victories had , in essence , been proclaimed within only five months of the cessation of large - scale daylight air battles , and without reference to Hitler and the OKW 's reasoning for not proceeding with Operation Sea Lion . The continuing post-war popularity of the Battle of Britain is in fact directly attributable to the Air Ministry 's latter - 1940 air communiques , the media in turn broadcasting or publishing RAF aircraft claims . Noted above , this in turn led to the March 1941 pamphlet , which inspired a wide range of cultural responses to the Few , and the Battle of Britain . The Air Ministry built upon this with the development of the Battle of Britain Sunday commemoration , also supported the Battle of Britain clasp for issue to the Few in 1945 , and from 1945 Battle of Britain Week . The Battle of Britain window in Westminster Abbey was also encouraged by the Air Ministry , Lords Trenchard and Dowding on its committee . By July 1947 when the window was unveiled , the Battle of Britain had already attained central prominence as Fighter Command 's most notable victory , the Few alone credited with preventing invasion in 1940 . Although given widespread media coverage in September and October 1940 , RAF Bomber and Coastal Command raids against invasion barge concentrations had already been forgotten by war 's end . Aftermath ( edit ) The Battle of Britain marked the first major defeat of Hitler 's military forces , with air superiority seen as the key to victory . Pre-war theories had led to exaggerated fears of strategic bombing , and UK public opinion was buoyed by coming through the ordeal . For the RAF , Fighter Command had achieved a great victory in successfully carrying out Sir Thomas Inskip 's 1937 air policy of preventing the Germans from knocking Britain out of the war . Churchill concluded his famous 18 June ' Battle of Britain ' speech in the House of Commons by referring to pilots and aircrew who fought the Battle : `` ... if the British Empire and its Commonwealth lasts for a thousand years , men will still say , ' This was their finest hour . ' '' The battle also significantly shifted American opinion . During the battle , many Americans accepted the view promoted by Joseph Kennedy , the American ambassador in London , who believed that the United Kingdom could not survive . Roosevelt wanted a second opinion , and sent `` Wild Bill '' Donovan on a brief visit to the UK ; he became convinced the UK would survive and should be supported in every possible way . Before the end of the year American journalist Ralph Ingersoll , after returning from Britain , published a book concluding that `` Adolf Hitler met his first defeat in eight years '' in what might `` go down in history as a battle as important as Waterloo or Gettysburg '' . The turning point was when the Germans reduced the intensity of the Blitz after 15 September . According to Ingersoll , `` ( a ) majority of responsible British officers who fought through this battle believe that if Hitler and Göring had had the courage and the resources to lose 200 planes a day for the next five days , nothing could have saved London '' ; instead , `` ( the Luftwaffe 's ) morale in combat is definitely broken , and the RAF has been gaining in strength each week . '' Both sides in the battle made exaggerated claims of numbers of enemy aircraft shot down . In general , claims were two to three times the actual numbers , because of the confusion of fighting in dynamic three - dimensional air battles . Postwar analysis of records has shown that between July and September , the RAF claimed 2,698 kills , while the Luftwaffe fighters claimed 3,198 RAF aircraft downed . Total losses , and start and end dates for recorded losses , vary for both sides . Luftwaffe losses from 10 July to 30 October 1940 total 1,977 aircraft , including 243 twin - and 569 single - engined fighters , 822 bombers and 343 non combat types . In the same period , RAF Fighter Command aircraft losses number 1,087 , including 53 twin - engined fighters . To the RAF figure should be added 376 Bomber Command and 148 Coastal Command aircraft lost conducting bombing , mining , and reconnaissance operations in defence of the country . There is a consensus among historians that the Luftwaffe were unable to crush the RAF . Stephen Bungay described Dowding and Park 's strategy of choosing when to engage the enemy whilst maintaining a coherent force as vindicated ; their leadership , and the subsequent debates about strategy and tactics , however , had created enmity among RAF senior commanders and both were sacked from their posts in the immediate aftermath of the battle . All things considered , the RAF proved to be a robust and capable organisation which was to use all the modern resources available to it to the maximum advantage . Richard Evans wrote : Irrespective of whether Hitler was really set on this course , he simply lacked the resources to establish the air superiority that was the sine qua non-of a successful crossing of the English Channel . A third of the initial strength of the German air force , the Luftwaffe , had been lost in the western campaign in the spring . The Germans lacked the trained pilots , the effective fighter aircraft , and the heavy bombers that would have been needed . The Germans launched some spectacular attacks against important British industries , but they could not destroy the British industrial potential , and made little systematic effort to do so . Hindsight does not disguise the fact the threat to Fighter Command was very real , and for the participants it seemed as if there was a narrow margin between victory and defeat . Nevertheless , even if the German attacks on the 11 Group airfields which guarded southeast England and the approaches to London had continued , the RAF could have withdrawn to the Midlands out of German fighter range and continued the battle from there . The victory was as much psychological as physical . Writes Alfred Price : The truth of the matter , borne out by the events of 18 August is more prosaic : neither by attacking the airfields , nor by attacking London , was the Luftwaffe likely to destroy Fighter Command . Given the size of the British fighter force and the general high quality of its equipment , training and morale , the Luftwaffe could have achieved no more than a Pyrrhic victory . During the action on 18 August it had cost the Luftwaffe five trained aircrew killed , wounded or taken prisoner , for each British fighter pilot killed or wounded ; the ratio was similar on other days in the battle . And this ratio of 5 : 1 was very close to that between the number of German aircrew involved in the battle and those in Fighter Command . In other words the two sides were suffering almost the same losses in trained aircrew , in proportion to their overall strengths . In the Battle of Britain , for the first time during the Second World War , the German war machine had set itself a major task which it patently failed to achieve , and so demonstrated that it was not invincible . In stiffening the resolve of those determined to resist Hitler the battle was an important turning point in the conflict . The British victory in the Battle of Britain was achieved at a heavy cost . Total British civilian losses from July to December 1940 were 23,002 dead and 32,138 wounded , with one of the largest single raids on 19 December 1940 , in which almost 3,000 civilians died . With the culmination of the concentrated daylight raids , Britain was able to rebuild its military forces and establish itself as an Allied stronghold , later serving as a base from which the Liberation of Western Europe was launched . Battle of Britain day ( edit ) The Battle of Britain anniversary parade at Buckingham Palace in 1943 . Winston Churchill summed up the effect of the battle and the contribution of RAF Fighter Command , RAF Bomber Command , RAF Coastal Command and the Fleet Air Arm with the words , `` Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few '' . Pilots who fought in the battle have been known as The Few ever since ; at times being specially commemorated on 15 September , `` Battle of Britain Day '' . On this day in 1940 , the Luftwaffe embarked on their largest bombing attack yet , forcing the engagement of the entirety of the RAF in defence of London and the South East , which resulted in a decisive British victory that proved to mark a turning point in Britain 's favour . Within the Commonwealth , Battle of Britain Day has been observed more usually on the third Sunday in September , and even on the 2nd Thursday in September in some areas in the British Channel Islands . The day has been observed by many artists over the years , often with works that show the battle itself . Many mixed media artists have also created pieces in honour of the Battle of Britain . Memorials and museums ( edit ) Plans for the Battle of Britain window in Westminster Abbey were begun during wartime , the committee chaired by Lords Trenchard and Dowding . Public donations paid for the window itself , this officially opened by King George VI on 10 July 1947 . Although not actually an ' official ' memorial to the Battle of Britain in the sense that government paid for it , the window and chapel have since been viewed as such . During the late 1950s and 1960 , various proposals were advanced for a national monument to the Battle of Britain , this also the focus of several letters in The Times . In 1960 the Conservative government decided against a further monument , taking the view that the credit should be shared more broadly than Fighter Command alone , and there was little public appetite for one . All subsequent memorials are the result of private subscription and initiative , as discussed below . There are numerous memorials to the battle . The most important ones are the Battle of Britain Monument in London and the Battle of Britain Memorial at Capel - le - Ferne in Kent . Westminster Abbey and St James 's Church , Paddington both have memorial windows to the battle , replacing windows that were destroyed during the campaign . There is also a memorial at the former Croydon Airport , one of the RAF bases during the battle , and a memorial to the pilots at Armadale Castle on the Isle of Skye in Scotland , which is topped by a raven sculpture . There are also two museums to the battle : one at Hawkinge in Kent and one at Stanmore in London , at the former RAF Bentley Priory . In 2015 the RAF created an online ' Battle of Britain 75th Anniversary Commemorative Mosaic ' composed of pictures of `` the few '' -- the pilots and aircrew who fought in the battle -- and `` the many '' -- ' the often unsung others whose contribution during the Battle of Britain was also vital to the RAF 's victory in the skies above Britain ' , submitted by participants and their families .

It also starred Michael Caine , Christopher Plummer and Robert Shaw as Squadron Leaders . Former participants of the battle served as technical advisors including Douglas Bader , James Lacey , Robert Stanford Tuck , Adolf Galland and Dowding himself . An Italian film around the same time titled Eagles Over London ( 1969 ) also featured the Battle of Britain . The 1988 ITV mini-series Piece of Cake , an aerial drama about a fictional Second World War RAF fighter squadron in 1940 , features the battle . The Czech film Dark Blue World ( 2001 ) also featured the battle , focusing on the Czech Pilots who fought in the battle . An inaccurate and fictional version of the battle is shown in the 2001 movie , Pearl Harbor , in which the battle is depicted as still going on into 1941 . It has also been the subject of many documentaries , including the 1941 Allied propaganda film Churchill 's Island , winner of the first - ever Academy Award for Documentary Short Subject . There was also the 1943 The Battle of Britain in Frank Capra 's Why We Fight series . It was included in an episode of Battlefield Britain . In 2010 , actor Julian Glover played a 101 - year - old Polish veteran RAF pilot in the short film Battle for Britain .

To avoid misunderstanding , delay and perhaps embarrassment , and doubtless to emphasize the point that No. 1 Squadron was , after all , a Canadian unit , Air Commodore Walsh early brought the necessity of conforming to the Visiting Forces Acts to the attention of the Air Officer Commanding No. 11 Group R.A.F. , under whom the squadron would fight ...

German historians usually place the beginning of the battle in May 1940 and end it mid-August 1941 , with the withdrawal of the bomber units in preparation for Operation Barbarossa , the campaign against the Soviet Union , which began on 22 June 1941 . Jump up ^ For example : Terraine states that the outcome was `` decisive '' ; quoting Luftwaffe General Werner Kreipe , who described it as a `` strategic ( Luftwaffe ) failure '' and `` turning point in the Second World War '' . It also states the `` German Air Force was bled almost to death , and suffered losses that could never be made good throughout the course of the war '' . Quoting Dr ( Karl ) Klee `` The invasion and subjugation of Britain was made to depend on that battle , and its outcome therefore materially influenced the further course and fate of the war as a whole '' .

[ "Overall, by 2 November, the RAF fielded 1,796 pilots, an increase of over 40% from July 1940's count of 1,259 pilots.[256] Based on German sources (from a Luftwaffe intelligence officer Otto Bechtle attached to KG 2 in February 1944) translated by the Air Historical Branch, Stephen Bungay asserts German fighter and bomber \"strength\" declined without recovery, and that from August – December 1940, the German fighter and bomber strength declined by 30 and 25 percent.[8] In contrast, Williamson Murray, argues (using translations by the Air Historical Branch) that 1,380 German bombers were on strength on 29 June 1940,[6][257] 1,420 bombers on 28 September,[258] 1,423 level bombers on 2 November[259] and 1,393 bombers on 30 November 1940.[259] In July – September the number of Luftwaffe pilots available fell by 136, but the number of operational pilots had shrunk by 171 by September. The training organisation of the Luftwaffe was failing to replace losses. German fighter pilots, in contrast to popular perception, were not afforded training or rest rotations unlike their British counterparts.[114] The first week of September accounted for 25% of the Fighter Command, and 24% of the Luftwaffe's overall losses.[260] Between the dates 26 August – 6 September, on only one day (1 September) did the Germans destroy more aircraft than they lost. Losses were 325 German and 248 British.[261]" ]

The cecum is a pouchlike structure of the colon , located at the junction of the small and the large intestines . The term `` vermiform '' comes from Latin and means `` worm - shaped '' .

The diameter of the appendix is usually between 7 and 8 mm . The longest appendix ever removed was 26 cm long . It was removed from a patient in Zagreb , Croatia . The appendix is usually located in the lower right quadrant of the abdomen , near the right hip bone . The base of the appendix is located 2 cm beneath the ileocecal valve that separates the large intestine from the small intestine . Its position within the abdomen corresponds to a point on the surface known as McBurney 's point . The appendix is connected to the mesentery in the lower region of the ileum , by a short region of the mesocolon known as the mesoappendix . Variation ( edit ) Some identical twins -- known as mirror image twins -- can have a mirror - imaged anatomy , a congenital condition with the appendix located in the lower left quadrant of the abdomen . Intestinal malrotation may also cause displacement of the appendix to the left side . While the base of the appendix is at a fairly constant location -- 2 cm below the ileocecal valve , the tip of the appendix can be variably located -- in the pelvis , outside the peritoneum or behind the cecum . The prevalence of the different positions varies amongst populations with the retrocecal position being most common in Ghana and Sudan , with 67.3 % and 58.3 % occurrence respectively , in comparison to Iran and Bosnia where the pelvic position is most common , with 55.8 % and 57.7 % occurrence respectively . In very rare cases ( laparotomies for suspected appendicitis have given a frequency of 1 in 100,000 ) , the appendix may not be present at all . Sometimes there is a semi-circular fold of mucous membrane at the opening of the appendix . This valve of the vermiform appendix is also called Gerlach 's valve . Functions ( edit ) Maintaining gut flora ( edit ) A possible function of the human appendix is a `` safe house '' for beneficial bacteria in the recovery from diarrhea . Although it has been long accepted that the immune tissue surrounding the appendix and elsewhere in the gut -- called gut associated lymphoid tissue -- carries out a number of important functions , explanations were lacking for the distinctive shape of the appendix and its apparent lack of specific importance and function as judged by an absence of side effects following its removal . Therefore , the notion that the appendix is only vestigial became widely held . William Parker , Randy Bollinger , and colleagues at Duke University proposed in 2007 that the appendix serves as a haven for useful bacteria when illness flushes those bacteria from the rest of the intestines . This proposal is based on an understanding that emerged by the early 2000s of how the immune system supports the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria , in combination with many well - known features of the appendix , including its architecture , its location just below the normal one - way flow of food and germs in the large intestine , and its association with copious amounts of immune tissue . Research performed at Winthrop -- University Hospital showed that individuals without an appendix were four times more likely to have a recurrence of Clostridium difficile colitis . The appendix , therefore , may act as a safe house for good bacteria . This reservoir of bacteria could then serve to repopulate the gut flora in the digestive system following a bout of dysentery or cholera , or boost it following a milder gastrointestinal illness . Immune and lymphatic system ( edit ) The appendix has been identified as an important component of mammalian mucosal immune function , particularly B cell mediated immune responses and extrathymically derived T cells . This structure helps in the proper movement and removal of waste matter in the digestive system , contains lymphatic vessels that regulate pathogens , and lastly , might even produce early defences that prevent deadly diseases . Additionally , it is thought that this may provide more immune defences from invading pathogens and getting the lymphatic system 's B and T cells to fight the viruses and bacteria that infect that portion of the bowel and training them , so that immune responses are targeted and more able to reliably and less dangerously fight off pathogens . In addition there are different immune cells called innate lymphoid cells that function in the gut , to help the appendix maintain digestive health . Vestigiality ( edit ) The human appendix had been proposed to be a vestigial structure , a structure that has lost all or most of its original function , or that has evolved to take on a new function . The suggestion was that it is the shrunken remnant of the cecum thought to have been present in a remote ancestor of humans . This notion is still widely held . A 2013 study , however , refutes the idea of an inverse relationship between cecum size and appendix size and presence . Ceca , which occur in the digestive tracts of many herbivores ( e.g. ox , horse ) , house mutualistic bacteria and ingested small stones that help animals digest the cellulose molecules found in plants . It is widely present in euarchontoglires ( a superorder of mammals that includes rodents and primates ) and has also evolved independently in the diprotodont marsupials , monotremes , and is highly diverse in size and shape . A possible scenario for the progression from a fully functional cecum to the current human appendix was put forth by Charles Darwin . He suggested that the appendix was used for digesting leaves as primates . It may be a vestigial organ of ancient humans that has degraded to nearly nothing of its original purpose , or evolved to take on a new purpose over the course of evolution . The very long cecum of some herbivorous animals , such as found in the horse or the koala , appears to support this theory . The koala 's cecum enables it to host bacteria that specifically help to break down cellulose . Human ancestors may have also relied upon this system when they lived on a diet rich in foliage . As people began to eat more easily digested foods , they may have become less reliant on cellulose - rich plants for energy . As the cecum became less necessary for digestion , mutations that were previously deleterious ( and would have hindered evolutionary progress ) were no longer important , so the mutations survived . It is suggested that these alleles became more frequent and the cecum continued to shrink . After millions of years , the once - necessary cecum degraded to be the appendix of modern humans . Clinical significance ( edit ) An appendiceal carcinoid tumor The most common diseases of the appendix ( in humans ) are appendicitis and carcinoid tumors ( appendiceal carcinoid ) . Appendix cancer accounts for about 1 in 200 of all gastrointestinal malignancies . In rare cases , adenomas are also present . Appendicitis ( edit ) Main article : Appendicitis Appendicitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the appendix . Pain often begins in the center of the abdomen , corresponding to the appendix 's development as part of the embryonic midgut . This pain is typically a dull , poorly localized , visceral pain . As the inflammation progresses , the pain begins to localize more clearly to the right lower quadrant , as the peritoneum becomes inflamed . This peritoneal inflammation , or peritonitis , results in rebound tenderness ( pain upon removal of pressure rather than application of pressure ) . In particular , it presents at McBurney 's point , 1 / 3 of the way along a line drawn from the anterior superior iliac spine to the umbilicus . Typically , point ( skin ) pain is not present until the parietal peritoneum is inflamed , as well . Fever and an immune system response are also characteristic of appendicitis . Appendicitis usually requires the removal of the inflamed appendix , in an appendectomy either by laparotomy or laparoscopy . Untreated , the appendix may rupture , leading to peritonitis , followed by shock , and , if still untreated , death . Surgery ( edit ) Main article : Appendectomy The surgical removal of the appendix is called an appendectomy . This removal is normally performed as an emergency procedure when the patient is suffering from acute appendicitis . In the absence of surgical facilities , intravenous antibiotics are used to delay or avoid the onset of sepsis . In some cases , the appendicitis resolves completely ; more often , an inflammatory mass forms around the appendix . This is a relative contraindication to surgery . The appendix is also used for the construction of an efferent urinary conduit , in an operation known as the Mitrofanoff procedure , in people with a neurogenic bladder . The appendix is also used as a means to access the colon in children with paralysed bowels or major rectal sphincter problems . The appendix is brought out to the skin surface and the child / parent can then attach a catheter and easily wash out the colon ( via normal defaecation ) using an appropriate solution . History ( edit ) Dr. Heather F. Smith of Midwestern University and colleagues explained : Recently ... improved understanding of gut immunity has merged with current thinking in biological and medical science , pointing to an apparent function of the mammalian cecal appendix as a safe - house for symbiotic gut microbes , preserving the flora during times of gastrointestinal infection in societies without modern medicine . This function is potentially a selective force for the evolution and maintenance of the appendix . Three morphotypes of cecal - appendices can be described among mammals based primarily on the shape of the cecum : a distinct appendix branching from a rounded or sac - like cecum ( as in many primate species ) , an appendix located at the apex of a long and voluminous cecum ( as in the rabbit , greater glider and Cape dune mole rat ) , and an appendix in the absence of a pronounced cecum ( as in the wombat ) . In addition , long narrow appendix - like structures are found in mammals that either lack an apparent cecum ( as in monotremes ) or lack a distinct junction between the cecum and appendix - like structure ( as in the koala ) . A cecal appendix has evolved independently at least twice , and apparently represents yet another example of convergence in morphology between Australian marsupials and placentals in the rest of the world . Although the appendix has apparently been lost by numerous species , it has also been maintained for more than 80 million years in at least one clade . In a more recent paper , the appendix was found to have evolved at least 32 times ( and perhaps as many as 38 times ) and to have been lost no more than six times . This suggests that the cecal appendix has a selective advantage in many situations and argues strongly against its vestigial nature . This complex evolutionary history of the appendix , along with a great heterogeneity in its evolutionary rate in various taxa , suggests that it is a recurrent trait . Such a function may be useful in a culture lacking modern sanitation and healthcare practice , where diarrhea may be prevalent . Current epidemiological data on the cause of death in developed countries collected by the World Health Organization in 2001 show that acute diarrhea is now the fourth leading cause of disease - related death in developing countries ( data summarized by The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation ) . Two of the other leading causes of death are expected to have exerted limited or no selection pressure .

She finds out that he has had an affair with Gemma Clewes ( Natalie J. Robb ) but forgives him . To make it up to her , Max buys 10 Turpin Road for Tanya , which she turns into a beauty salon named Booty . Tanya after much pressure from Max gives birth to Oscar about two weeks before Christmas 2007 . Unbeknown to Tanya , Max has started an affair with Stacey Slater ( Lacey Turner ) , who is Max 's son Bradley Branning 's ( Charlie Clements ) former girlfriend . When the affair is revealed on Christmas Day on a video recording recorded by Tanya and Max 's daughter , Lauren Branning ( Madeline Duggan ) / Jacqueline Jossa ) , Tanya asks for a divorce and starts a relationship with Stacey 's brother Sean Slater ( Robert Kazinsky ) . Tanya plots to bury Max alive and with the help of Sean , they drug Max and bury him in the woods . Tanya later feels guilty and digs him up and breaks up with Sean . Tanya then has to face her sister , Rainie ( Tanya Franks ) , turning up as she did the year before , claiming she is clean of drugs , though tests positive , so Tanya orders her to leave . Tanya then starts a relationship with Max 's brother Jack Branning ( Scott Maslen ) and Max tries to split them up . Tanya and Max later share a kiss , after Max is abducted and beaten by Jack . Max is knocked down in a deliberate hit - and - run . Tanya admits to the police that she tried to kill Max ; however , Lauren was the real culprit . After the police find out Lauren was the driver , Max and Tanya suffer a bumpy relationship which ends up in Tanya forgiving Max and allowing him to move back in , but when she finds out they are in debt and Max has been hiding it , she leaves with Lauren and Oscar after finding out Booty was to close down , with daughter Abi Branning ( Lorna Fitzgerald ) refusing to go with Tanya and staying with Max . Tanya returns to Walford with her new fiancé Greg Jessop ( Stefan Booth ) . Tanya 's mother , Cora Cross ( Ann Mitchell ) , and Rainie arrive in Walford for her wedding , much to Tanya 's dismay . Greg and Tanya marry , and Tanya soon starts an affair with Max . Greg later buys the beauty salon from Roxy Mitchell ( Rita Simons ) and later pushes Tanya to have another baby though Tanya is against the idea . Tanya allows Rainie and Cora to move in . Tanya and Max plan to reveal their affair but Tanya finds out that she may have cervical cancer . After discovering this , she breaks up with Max , but he decides to tell the truth to his fiancé , Vanessa Gold ( Zöe Lucker ) who reveals all to Greg . Heartbroken , Greg leaves Walford and when Max realises Tanya does not want to be with him either , he leaves too . Tanya is diagnosed with cervical cancer and tells only Lauren and forbids her from telling anyone else . Greg briefly returns but can not handle the news that Tanya has cancer and quickly leaves again . Tanya then decides to stop her therapy , although does not tell Lauren about this . Later , Tanya agrees to allow Cora to move back in , after she has been thrown out by Dot Branning ( June Brown ) . Tanya 's doctor , Yusef Khan ( Ace Bhatti ) , later confronts Tanya and asks why she has stopped her treatment . Tanya goes to the hospital where she tells her doctor that wants no more treatment as she does not have the strength to fight , despite the fact she could die . Max returns to Walford with his brother Derek Branning ( Jamie Foreman ) . Max insults Tanya , and Tanya throws him out . As Tanya starts to throw her mother and sister out , Lauren reveals that Tanya has cancer and confronts her about stopping her therapy . Tanya then tells Cora and Rainie the truth about how her father died -- he did not die peacefully as they believed , but was in constant pain and so Tanya helped him to die . Max then reconciles with Tanya and they become a couple again . She learns that she has been given the all - clear from cancer but is worried that it might return . She finds it difficult to be close to Max , but after a frank discussion over their marriage and sex life , Max reassures Tanya that she is all that matters to him . When Derek discovers that Tanya scared his daughter Alice Branning ( Jasmyn Banks ) away , he threatens to kill Tanya if she does it again . When Tanya discovers that cars at the car lot are being repossessed , she and Max argue , which leads to passion and they have sex for the first time since Tanya 's all - clear from cancer . Tanya announces that her divorce from Greg will soon be finalised and proposes to Max . Lauren tells Tanya that Derek stole from Lucy Beale ( Hetti Bywater ) and she confronts him about it . Derek in response taunts Tanya about what he and Max did in Manchester . She confronts Max , who says he was involved in criminal dealings causing someone to get hurt . He then accepts her proposal from earlier and they get engaged . Tanya discovers a birth certificate for a sister called Ava Anderton ( Clare Perkins ) . She confronts Cora , who refuses to talk about it , but eventually tells Tanya that Ava died not long after her birth and it hurt so much she never told anyone , not even the father . Tanya then tells Cora that she can talk to her any time . When Ian Beale ( Adam Woodyatt ) goes missing , Tanya helps to bring him back to Walford , which makes her decide she wants Rainie at her wedding , but Cora lies to her that Rainie does not want to attend , when in fact Rainie does not want to see Cora . Patrick tells Tanya the truth about Ava -- that she is alive and Cora gave her up for adoption , so Tanya secretly tracks down Ava to her place of work , a school in Dalston . Tanya is shocked that Ava is black , and decides not to see her again . Tanya leaves her purse behind and Ava returns in , meeting Cora . Cora is shocked when Ava says her name , and is angry at Tanya , disowning her . Lauren is involved in a car crash and tells Tanya that she is in love with her cousin , Joey Branning ( David Witts ) . Derek blackmails Tanya to keep Lauren and Joey 's relationship secret from the rest of the family , and Joey is forced by Derek to end his relationship with Lauren . On Christmas Day , Tanya is stunned when Max 's secret wife Kirsty Branning ( Kierston Wareing ) arrives moments before she is due to remarry Max . Max insists he thought they were divorced ( Derek had lied to him ) and Tanya and Max continue their relationship , but when Tanya finds Kirsty 's keys in Max 's pocket ( given to Lauren by Kirsty ) , Tanya assumes Kirsty and Max are still involved . She tells Kirsty to sign divorce papers , but Kirsty refuses . Lauren also discovers that Tanya has not attended a hospital appointment , when Tanya said she was given the all - clear from cancer . Kirsty agrees to the divorce , realising she is hurting Max , and Max shows Tanya saying Kirsty is leaving . Tanya realises Max still loves Kirsty because he refuses to have sex with her and is sad about Kirsty leaving . Max confirms this so Tanya ejects Max from the house saying their relationship is over for good , and she celebrates the break - up . She does not cope though , and is nearly drawn back to Max . She decides that to resist temptation she must leave Walford , and Max is deeply disappointed . She returns a few weeks later to find Max , Kirsty , Abi and Lauren having a meal together and laughing . Lauren continues to drink but Tanya refuses to believe she is addicted until she keeps Lauren in the house and she reveals that she has been sipping vodka from a water bottle . Tanya locks Lauren in her bedroom but she escapes through her window . Later , Lauren gets drunk on a night out and leaves with a stranger ; she does not return the next morning . Eventually , when she does come back , her skin and eyes are yellow and she collapses in pain . She is taken to hospital where Tanya and Max are told she is an alcoholic , has alcoholic hepatitis , and one more drink could kill her . The doctor suggests that the best treatment for Lauren is residential care . Later , Lauren tells her family that she can not stand her parents ' constant arguing , so Tanya decides to take Lauren , Abi and Oscar to Exeter , where Lauren can get help for her alcoholism . Abi refuses to leave so Tanya leaves Walford with Lauren and Oscar in a taxi . Lauren soon returns to Albert Square , but Tanya and Oscar remain in Exeter . In January 2014 , Tanya 's friend , Jane Beale ( Laurie Brett ) , reveals to Max that Tanya is now in a relationship , with a man named Tim and that they are planning on getting engaged . In February 2015 , Tanya returns to Walford , to attend Ian and Jane 's wedding and after the reception , she agrees to sit and have a conversation with Max . During the conversation , she reveals that she is taking part in a fashion course in Manchester and asks Max if Oscar can move in with him for a while , as he would be stuck with a nanny most of the time if he went with her , due to Tanya 's commitment to the course . Before leaving , Tanya admits that she was thinking of rebuilding her relationship with Max , but Jane assures her that that would have been one of the biggest mistakes of her life . Max is falsely accused of the murder of Lucy in July 2015 and after he is arrested , Oscar is sent back to live with Tanya , who denies Max any contact with his son although Max is later released after Bobby Beale ( Eliot Carrington ) owns up to the crime . Creation ( edit ) Casting ( edit ) In early reports of the character 's arrival , her name was spelt Tania . This was later changed on the official BBC website . Joyner originally turned down the role as she had doubts over whether she could work in a soap opera . She said `` It was a massive decision . I said no originally . Playing someone in a soap is a big responsibility . People are very protective of the soap and if you are rubbish you ca n't get away from it . '' Also , having worked quietly and successfully in the industry for eight years , Joyner was unsure if she would be comfortable with the level of fame being on EastEnders would bring her . During the affair storyline between Stacey Slater ( Lacey Turner ) and Tanya 's husband Max ( Jake Wood ) , Joyner did not read any parts of the EastEnders scripts other than her own , as she felt her acting was improved by not knowing what Max did behind Tanya 's back , and because she felt that she could better justify to herself why Tanya would not suspect Max of cheating if she in reality did not know what he was getting up to . Characterisation ( edit ) `` I have to say actually , I do prefer playing a sort of tarty , nasty bitch , because quite frankly it 's more fun . I do love playing Tanya , but it is very different to the roles I had before EastEnders . I 'd like to see a bit more of her feisty side . '' -- Jo Joyner In a July 2008 interview with the Sunday People , Joyner revealed that she was disappointed that Tanya 's wild child past had not been explored more in the aftermath of her character burying Max alive , saying `` I did n't think Tanya would be as mumsy at first . She was quite hard in her past and it would have been fun to have that side come out . Tanya has a really naughty side . When she was young she was a lot like Stacey Slater . That has n't really come out yet but she definitely has it in her . '' Joyner temporarily left the show in December 2009 for maternity leave . Her departure was facilitated through a storyline in which Max hid financial problems from the family and Tanya left him . The show 's executive producer Diederick Santer revealed that some planned storyline material for Max and Tanya was put on hold until Joyner 's return from maternity leave . On 6 May 2010 , Joyner filmed a single episode that was broadcast on 23 June , and she made her full - time return on 27 September 2010 . `` Family is paramount to Tanya . Max was the love of her life , but his affair with Stacey destroyed their marriage , and nearly destroyed her . Though she 's had dalliances with Sean Slater , Jack Branning and even went up the aisle with Greg Jessop , it 's Max she always goes back to . Tanya may be one of Walford 's most loving mums , but she also has a wild side . So she 's wise to any and all of the tricks pulled by her rebellious daughter , Lauren -- she pulled them herself when she was the same age . '' -- Description of Tanya on the BBC Website ( 2012 ) In an interview with Digital Spy , Joyner admitted that she prefers playing a `` feisty '' character and would like to explore that side of Tanya . Joyner confirmed that she wants sparks to fly between her character and estranged husband Max . She added : `` I hope it comes out . I think she 's been a little bit calm and a little bit mumsy lately and I think if she 's been away from Max for a while , she needs to come back with a bit more fight about her and have him on his knees a bit . '' Of her experiences as a mother , she added : `` It 's fantastic . It 's full on but it 's just been a whirlwind . I 've just been so lucky . '' Development ( edit ) On 21 March 2008 , Joyner revealed a script in which Tanya would bury Max alive . Speaking of when she first heard about the burial idea , the actress admitted : `` I actually was really upset ! I heard about the theory and I thought ' how are you going to get me there ? She 's not a killer ! '' `` I did always say to Diederick ( Santer ) when this happened that as far as I was concerned , the only way she can kill Max is when she finds out on Christmas Eve in a blind fit of rage -- that 's the only time when she could be a murderer . '' In February 2011 , it was announced that filming had started on location for Greg and Tanya 's wedding in April 2011 . However , at the time it was unconfirmed whether they would actually marry , meaning that the couple 's future would hang in the balance until the time of broadcast . The Daily Mail reported that Tanya would flee the wedding to help Max and Abi when they are hurt in a serious accident , though they said that Tanya and Greg may have already exchanged vows . Joyner revealed to What 's on TV that she thinks that happy storylines are boring and that EastEnders needs depressing storylines to be dramatic . She added that Walford is a miserable place which part of the fun . Cervical cancer ( edit ) On 26 June 2011 , it was announced by EastEnders that Tanya will feature in a cervical cancer storyline . Executive producer Bryan Kirkwood said that viewers will see Tanya receive the devastating news that she has cervical cancer . EastEnders has worked closely with experts in the field to ensure that the issue is accurately portrayed . Viewers will see how Tanya , a mother of three , will use her inner determination to deal with what will be one of the toughest challenges of her life . The director of Jo 's Cervical Cancer trust Robert Music said that EastEnders must depict the disease accurately and responsibly saying `` It 's about educating the general public who perhaps are n't aware of the disease , but also with cervical cancer , there are thousands of women out there who have been diagnosed or are living with this . '' Music of added : `` As the UK 's only charity solely dedicated to informing and supporting women affected by cervical abnormalities and cervical cancer , we think it is fantastic that EastEnders has decided to highlight the issue of cervical cancer . '' `` This is a disease that affects thousands of women and their loved ones in the UK every year , and for many can be preventable by taking proactive steps , such as attending cervical screening when invited . '' Music added : `` EastEnders have gone to great lengths to research this story with us and we hope that by showing this storyline to its millions of viewers , it will not only raise awareness of cervical cancer but also help the public to be more informed about this issue . '' Ellen Lang of Macmillan Cancer Support said that cervical cancer is diagnosed in thousands of women every year in the UK , so EastEnders is congratulated for tackling this difficult subject that affects many people . Jo Joyner said that she will make sure that the storyline will be `` honest and true to life '' as possible . Talking to All About Soap about how she has researched the plot , Joyner said that she has talked to many survivors of cervical cancer through a charity named Jo 's Trust and added that they have a great website , which is very informative and has helped her a lot . Joyner said that it is a privilege to be given any sort of serious storyline and a real responsibility . Asked whether it makes Tanya think twice who she wants to be with , Joyner replied : `` Definitely . She remembers her mum looking at her dad with pity ( when he was ill ) and she 'd hate that happening to her . She has some serious thinking to do about her future now . '' Jo 's Cervical Cancer Trust has praised EastEnders for helping spread the awareness of cervical cancer . The trust received extra calls following Tanya 's diagnosis . Kirkwood said in a news release that EastEnders worked closely with experts to ensure that the issue is accurately portrayed and that viewers will see how Tanya will use her inner determination to deal with what will be one of the toughest challenges of her life . Music said that Joyner was `` fantastic '' when visiting the charity . He added that she was `` really hungry to learn , to understand what the impact was , and she felt a responsibility to get this right '' Joyner stated that she `` feels grateful '' to be in a cervical cancer storyline . She told Soaplife magazine : `` It 's a privilege to be given any sort of serious storyline and a real responsibility . I 'm going to make it as honest and true to life as I possibly can . I will grab every chance I can to show Tanya dropping her guard . '' Speaking of her past , she added : `` Tanya remembers her mum looking at her dad with pity and she 'd hate that happening to her . Tanya 's dad died of cancer and she nursed him through it . She 's seen it first hand and therefore has a deep - seated fear of it . '' Joyner said it 's important to keep her cervical cancer storyline as realistic as possible . She said that viewers will see Tanya 's appearance change as the storyline progresses . Asked whether Tanya will start to look ill , Joyner said to Soaplife : `` I 'd like her to and I made a point of saying , ' Unless we ever see Tanya looking tired these references are going to be rubbish ' , because she 's keeping up the pretence and putting on lots of make - up . But I 've had my extensions out and the false lashes are coming off . It will be a slow decline . '' Joyner later said that she does not become depressed over the cancer plot , saying she can switch off from the emotions instantly . Speaking to the Daily Star , Joyner said that rather than becoming depressed over the scenes , she goes home relieved that it 's not her life . She added : `` I go home and laugh even more hysterically than I would normally because of what 's happening to Tanya . My husband does n't agree . He thinks I carry it all more than I think I do . He says I come back miserable , but once I 've put the kids in the bath and had a laugh , then I feel good again . '' Departure ( edit ) On 1 May 2012 , it was reported that Joyner would take a prolonged break from the show at the end of her current contract , to spend time with her family , and an inside source stated that she `` will definitely return '' . Joyner confirmed this herself , saying that the break would last six months , similar to other actors who took breaks in 2012 , such as June Brown ( Dot Branning ) and Charlie Brooks ( Janine Butcher ) . However , on 1 April 2013 , it was announced that Joyner 's departure would be indefinite as she wished to try new career paths . Speaking of this , Joyner said , `` I love playing Tanya and being part of such a great show , but she has been on quite a rollercoaster over the past seven years and I have come to realise that it 's right for her to step away from Walford for a bit longer than originally planned . I have been very fortunate to have been part of some fantastic storylines over the years , and I have worked with some wonderful people during my time on the show which I will always be very grateful for , but I feel that as a mother and an actress it is time for me to explore some other avenues for a while . '' Executive Producer Lorraine Newman stated that whilst Tanya will be missed , her exit will bring a new era to the Branning family but refused to say how Tanya will leave the show . Joyner filmed her final scenes on 15 May 2013 . She departed the show on 28 June 2013 . Reception ( edit ) Joyner won the ' Most Popular Actress ' award at the Digital Spy Soap Awards in 2008 for the part of Tanya and also went on to win ' Best Dramatic Performance ' at the 2008 British Soap Awards and made the final four in the ' Best Actress ' category . Joyner was nominated for the `` best actress '' award at the All About Soap Awards in 2012 and later won the award . In 2012 , Joyner and Wood won the Best On - Screen Partnership category at the British Soap Awards . On Digital Spy 's 2012 end of year reader poll , Joyner was nominated for `` Best Female Soap Actor '' and came fourth with 13.4 % of the vote . The character has been pivotal in the transformation of EastEnders . Christmas Day 2007 saw Tanya discover husband Max and stepdaughter - in - law Stacey 's affair and was watched by 14.3 million viewers , making it the highest rated EastEnders episode in three years and the highest rated television broadcast of 2007 . In March 2008 viewers watched Tanya bury husband Max alive . This was the most watched EastEnders episode of 2008 and the episode received 116 complaints from viewers . The UK communications regulator Ofcom later found that the episodes depicting the storyline were in breach of the 2005 Broadcasting Code . They contravened the rules regarding protection of children by appropriate scheduling , appropriate depiction of violence before the 9 p.m. watershed and appropriate depiction of potentially offensive content .

Consequently , a fairly large portion of the Dutch Constitution is devoted to the monarch ; roughly a third of the document describes the succession , mechanisms of accession and abdication to the throne , the roles and responsibilities of the monarch and the formalities of communication between the States - General of the Netherlands and the role of the monarch in the creation of laws . The Kingdom of the Netherlands has been an independent monarchy since 16 March 1815 , but its one - time sovereign provinces have intermittently been `` governed '' by members of the House of Orange - Nassau and the House of Nassau from 1559 to 1747 , since Philip II of Spain appointed William of Orange as stadtholder . William became the leader of the Dutch Revolt and the independent Dutch Republic . As stadtholder , he was followed by several of his descendants . In 1747 , the function of stadtholder became a hereditary position in all Provinces of the thus `` crowned '' Dutch Republic . The last stadtholder was William V. His son became the first king as William I .

Please improve this section about the constitutional role of the Dutch monarchy by adding secondary or tertiary sources . ( November 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The cycle of monarchs is described in the first section of Chapter 2 of the constitution , which is dedicated to the government of the Netherlands . Succession ( edit ) The monarchy of the Netherlands passes by right of succession to the heirs of William I . The heir is determined through two mechanisms : absolute cognatic primogeniture and proximity of blood . The Netherlands established absolute cognatic primogeniture instead of male preference primogeniture by law in 1983 . Proximity of blood limits accession to the throne to a person who is related to the current monarch within three degrees of kinship . For example , the grandchildren of Princess Margriet of the Netherlands ( sister of Princess Beatrix ) , have no succession rights because their kinship with Beatrix when she was queen was of the fourth degree ( that is , Princess Beatrix is their parent 's parent 's parents ' daughter ) . Also , succession is limited to legitimate heirs , precluding a claim to the throne by children born out of wedlock . A special case arises if the king dies while his wife is pregnant : the unborn child is considered the heir at that point , unless stillborn -- the child is then considered never to have existed . So , if the old king dies while his wife is pregnant with their first child , the unborn child is immediately considered born and immediately becomes the new king or queen . If the pregnancy ends in stillbirth , his or her reign is expunged ( otherwise the existence of the stillborn king / queen would add a degree of separation for other family members to the throne and might suddenly exclude the next person in line for the throne ) . If the monarch is a minor , a regent is appointed and serves until the monarch comes of age . The regent is customarily the surviving parent of the monarch but the constitution stipulates that custody and parental authority of the minor monarch will be determined by law ; any person might be appointed as regent , as legal guardian or both . There are also a number of special cases within the constitution . First , if there is no heir when the monarch dies the States - General may appoint a successor upon the suggestion of the government . This suggestion may be made before the death of the reigning monarch , even by the monarch himself ( in case it is clear that the monarch will die without leaving an heir ) . Second , some people are excluded from the line of succession . They are : Any heir who marries without the permission of the States - General loses the right of succession . A person who is or has become truly undesirable or unfit as monarch can be removed from the line of succession by an act of the States - General , upon suggestion of the reigning monarch . This clause has never been executed and is considered an `` emergency exit '' . An example would be an heir apparent who commits treason or suffers a serious accident .

This is because there must be a head of state in order for the government to function , i.e. there must be someone who carries out the tasks of the constitutional role of the King / Queen . For this reason the new monarch assumes the role the moment the previous monarch ceases to hold the throne . The only exception is if there is no heir at all , in which case the Council of State assumes the role of the monarch pending the appointment of a monarch or regent . The monarch is expected to execute their duties and responsibilities for the good of the nation . The monarch must therefore swear to uphold the constitution and execute the office faithfully . The monarch must be sworn in as soon as possible after assuming the throne during a joint session of the States - General held in Amsterdam . Article 32 of the Dutch constitution describes a swearing - in in `` the capital Amsterdam '' , which incidentally is the only phrase in the constitution that names Amsterdam as the capital of the Kingdom . The ceremony is called the inauguration ( inhuldiging ) . The Dutch monarch is not crowned ; the monarch 's swearing of the oath constitutes acceptance of the throne . Also note that this ceremony does not equal accession to the throne as this would imply a vacancy of the throne between monarchs which is not allowed . The monarch ascends immediately after the previous monarch ceases to reign . The swearing - in only constitutes acceptance in public . The end of a reign ( edit ) The monarch 's reign can end in two ways : Death ( William II , William III ) Abdication The monarch willingly steps down . ( William I , Wilhelmina , Juliana , Beatrix ) Both these events cause the regular mechanisms of succession to go into effect . While the constitution mentions neither possibility explicitly , it does describe what happens after the monarch dies or abdicates . Abdication is a prerogative of the monarch , but it is also irreversible -- the person abdicating can not return to the throne , nor can a child born to a former monarch after an abdication has occurred have a claim to the throne . The abdicated monarch is legally a Prince or Princess of the Netherlands as well as Prince or Princess of Orange - Nassau . After his or her death , legally the deceased monarch ( abdicated or not ) has no titles . However , after death , the abdicated monarch is traditionally referred to as king or queen again . For example , Queen Juliana became queen on 4 September 1948 and princess again on 30 April 1980 following her abdication , but has been referred to as Queen Juliana since her death on 20 March 2004 . Temporary loss of royal authority ( edit ) There are two ways in which the monarch , without ceasing to be monarch , can be stripped of his or her royal authority : Voluntary suspension of royal authority The monarch temporarily ceases execution of his or her office . Removal from royal authority The government strips the monarch of his or her royal authority , as he or she is deemed unfit for their tasks . These cases are both temporary ( even if the monarch dies while not executing his office it still counts as temporary ) and are described in detail in the constitution . A monarch can temporarily cease to reign for any reason . This can be at his own request or because the Council of Ministers deems the monarch unfit for office . Although there can be any reason for the monarch to cede royal authority or be removed from it , both monarch and council are deemed to act responsibly and not leave the execution of the office vacant unnecessarily . Both cases are intended to deal with emergency situations such as physical or mental inability to execute the office of monarch . In both cases an act of the joint States - General is needed to strip the monarch of authority . In the case of the monarch ceding royal authority , the required act is a law . In case of removal , it is a declaration by the States - General . Formally , both require the normal procedure for passing a new law in the Netherlands . The former case is signed into law by the monarch himself , the latter is not , so technically it is not a law ( this is allowed explicitly in the constitution , since the monarch who is being stripped of his authority will probably not agree to signing the act of his removal , and -- in the case of the States - General removing a monarch who has become unfit due to mental or physical incapacitation -- may not be able to ) . Since neither ceding nor removal is permanent , neither triggers succession . Instead the States - General appoint a regent . This must be the heir apparent if he or she is old enough . In order for the monarch to resume his duties , a law ( which is signed by the regent ) must be passed to that effect . The monarch resumes the throne the moment the law of his return is made public . Political role ( edit ) The monarch and the government ( edit ) Although the monarch has roles and duties in all parts of the government and in several important places in the rest of society , the primary role of the monarch is within the executive branch of the Dutch government : the monarch is part of the government of the Netherlands . The role of the monarch within the government of the Netherlands is described in Article 42 of the constitution : Article 42 # The government consists of the King and the ministers . The King is inviolable ; the ministers are responsible . This article is the basis of the full power and influence of the monarch and makes him beyond reproach before the law , but also limits his practical power , as he can take no responsibility for it . The first paragraph of Article 42 determines that the government of the Netherlands consists of the monarch and his ministers . The monarch is according to this article not the head of government , the ministers are not answerable to the monarch within the government . There is no distinction , no dichotomy , no segregation or separation : the monarch and his ministers are the government and the government is one . This fact has practical consequences , in that it is not possible for the monarch and the ministers to be in disagreement . The government speaks with one voice and makes decisions as a united body . When the monarch acts in an executive capacity , he does so as representative of the united government . And when the government decides , the monarch is in agreement ( even if the monarch personally disagrees ) . As an ultimate consequence of this , it is not possible for the monarch to refuse to sign into law a proposal of law that has been agreed to and signed by the responsible minister . Such a disagreement between the monarch and his minister is a situation not covered by the constitution and is automatically a constitutional crisis . The second paragraph of the article , though , is what really renders the monarch powerless . This paragraph states that the monarch is inviolate . He is beyond any reproach , beyond the grasp of any prosecution ( criminal or otherwise ) for any acts committed or actions taken as monarch . If anything goes wrong , the minister responsible for the topic at hand is responsible for the failings of the monarch . This sounds like it makes the monarch an absolute tyrant , but in fact the opposite is true : since the ministers are responsible , they also have the authority to make the decisions . The ministers set the course of the government and the country , the ministers make executive decisions and run the affairs of state . And since the government is one , the monarch abides by the decision of the ministers . In fact the monarchs of the Netherlands rarely make any executive decisions at all and practically never speak in public on any subject other than to read a statement prepared by the Prime Minister ( since an unfortunate off - the - cuff remark could get a minister into trouble ) . The practical consequence of this limit on the power of the monarch is that the monarch never makes a decision on his own . Every decision , every decree must be countersigned by the responsible minister ( s ) . The monarch and the law of the land ( edit ) Technically , the monarch has a lot of practical power . For instance , no proposal of law actually becomes a law until signed by the monarch -- and there is no legal requirement for the monarch to sign . In practice , the monarch will always give assent since most proposals of law are made by the government `` by or on behalf of the King '' . And while proposals of law must be approved by the States - General , a lot of the practical running of the country is done by royal decree ( in Dutch : Koninklijk Besluit ) . These royal decrees are used for all sorts of things , ranging from appointments of civil servants and military officers to clarifications of how public policy is to be executed to filling in the details of certain laws . Royal decrees create ministries , dissolve the houses of the States - General , and appoint and fire ministers . However , since the ministers are responsible , royal decrees are in fact made by the responsible minister . And while the monarch must sign laws and royal decrees before they come into effect , the constitution determines that the responsible ministers and state secretaries must countersign . That , given the fact that the ministers have the authority , really means that they decide and it is the monarch who countersigns , and even that is a formality . Also , while the monarch may technically propose laws ( `` by or on behalf of the King '' ) , ministerial responsibility means that he never does . And even though the government may refuse to sign a States - General approved proposal into law , this is practically unheard of and the monarch refusing to sign on his own is even rarer ( and would cause a constitutional crisis ) . There is one special case in which the monarch has , if possible , even less power than normal : the appointment of his ministers . Ministers are appointed by royal decree , which of course have to be countersigned by the responsible minister . The royal decree to appoint a minister , however , is countersigned by two responsible ministers rather than one : the outgoing minister responsible for the ministry and the Prime Minister . Formation of the government ( edit ) Given the discussion above , it is a valid question whether the position of monarch of the Netherlands is entirely ceremonial . The answer is `` no '' . Despite all appearances the monarch does have some actual power , relating to the formation of a new government after parliamentary elections . And , even more interestingly , this power is traditional and is not described in the constitution . After the parliamentary election there follows a period of time in which the leaders of the political parties in the parliament seek to form a coalition of parties that can command a majority of the newly elected parliament . The current nationwide party - list system , combined with a low threshold for getting a seat ( two - third percent of the vote ) makes it all but impossible for one party to win an outright majority . Thus , the bargaining required to put together a governing coalition is as important as the election itself . This process of negotiations , which can last anywhere from two to four months ( more on occasion ... ) , is coordinated in the initial stages by one or more informateurs , whose duty it is to investigate and report upon viable coalitions . After a likely combination is found , a formateur is appointed to conduct the formal coalition negotiations and form a new Council of Ministers ( of which the formateur himself usually becomes the Prime Minister ) . If the negotiations fail , the cycle starts over . The informateurs and formateur in question are all appointed to this task by the monarch . The monarch makes his own decision in this , based on advice from the leaders of the different parties in parliament , as well as other important figures ( the speakers of the new parliament and the senate are among them ) . There is usually some popular discussion in the Netherlands around the time of these negotiations about whether the authority of the monarch in this matter should not be limited and whether or not the newly elected parliament should not make the appointments that the monarch makes . These discussions usually turn ( to varying degrees ) on the argument that decision by a monarch is undemocratic and there is no parliamentary oversight over the decision and the monarch might make use of this to push for a government of his or her liking . On the other hand , it is somewhat questionable that the monarch really has much opportunity here to exert any influence . The informateur is there to investigate possible coalititions and report on them . He could technically seek `` favorable '' coalitions , but the political parties involved are usually quite clear on what they want and do n't want and the first choice for coalition almost always is the coalition of preference of the largest party in the new parliament . Besides , the monarchs and ( particularly ) the queens have traditionally known better than to appoint controversial informateurs , usually settling for well - established yet fairly neutral people in the political arena ( the deputy chairman of the Dutch Council of State is a common choice ) . Once a potential coalition has been identified the monarch technically has a free rein in selecting a formateur . However , the formateur almost always become the next Prime Minister , and in any case it is a strong convention that a government must command the support of a majority of the House of Representatives in order to stay in office . These considerations mean that the selected formateur is always the party leader of the largest party in the potential coalition . However , in March 2012 the States - General altered its own procedures , such that any subsequent government formation is done without the monarch 's influence . No more than a month later , and the government coalition collapsed , triggering early elections in September 2012 . As no formal procedures had been outlined as to how a government formation without monarch should take place , it was initially feared the subsequent government formation would be chaotic . However , a new government coalition was formed within 54 days - surprisingly early for Dutch standards . Instead of the monarch , the Speaker of the House of Representatives appointed the informateur - whose function was renamed to ' scout ' . After the negotiations , the installation ceremony of ministers - the only duty still left at the monarch - was held in public for the first time in history . The monarch and the States - General ( edit ) The Dutch Court is still known for their old traditions . The throne of the Ridderzaal , from which the Dutch monarch delivers the Throne Speech on Prinsjesdag . The one branch of government in which the monarch has no direct part is the legislative branch , formed by the States - General of the Netherlands . This parliamentary body consists of two chambers , the House of Representatives ( also commonly referred to as Parliament ) and the Senate . As in most parliamentary democracies the States - General are dually responsible for overseeing the government in its executive duties as well as approving proposals of law before they can become actual laws . In this respect , it is of course vital for the government to maintain good relations with the States - General and technically the monarch shares that effort ( although the monarch never officially speaks to members of the States - General on policy matters due to ministerial responsibility ) . Constitutionally , the monarch deals with the States - General in three areas : lawmaking , policy outlining at the opening of the parliamentary year and dissolution . Of the three , policy outlining is the most straightforward . The parliamentary year is opened on the third Tuesday of September with a joint session of both houses . At this occasion the monarch addresses the joint states in a speech in which he sets forth the outlines for his government 's policies for the coming year ( the speech itself is of course prepared by the ministers , their ministries and finally crafted and approved by the Prime Minister ) . This event is mandated by the constitution in Article 65 . Tradition has made more of this occasion than a policy speech though , and the event known as Prinsjesdag has become a large affair with much pomp and circumstance , in which the States - General and other major bodies of government assemble in the Ridderzaal to hear the King deliver the speech from the throne after having arrived from the Noordeinde Palace in his golden carriage . Both in constitutional aspects and in ceremony the event has much in common with both the British State Opening of Parliament and the American State of the Union . Lawmaking is the area in which the monarch has the most frequent involvement with the States - General ( although in fact he has very little to do with it in practice ) . Laws in the Netherlands are primarily proposed by the government and can be proposed `` by or on behalf of '' the monarch ( this phrase is repeated often in the constitution ) . Technically this means that the monarch may propose laws in person , hearkening back to the days of the first monarchs of the Netherlands when the monarchs really could and did propose laws . However , this possibility is at odds with ministerial responsibility and the queens have always avoided the issue by never proposing laws in person . The monarch must still sign proposals into law though , a historical deference to the fact that the law of the land is decreed by the monarch . While the monarch has no practical involvement anymore in lawmaking other than a signature at the end , one might get a different impression from reading the communication between the government and the States - General regarding proposals of law and the laws themselves . All communication from the States - General to the government is addressed to the monarch and communication in the opposite direction formally is from the monarch ( it is also signed by the monarch , without a ministerial countersignature -- such communication is not a decision or decree , so does not require a countersignature ) . The formal language still shows deference to the position of the monarch , with a refusal of the States - General to approve a proposal of law for example becoming `` a request to the King to reconsider the proposal '' . The constitution prescribes a number of the forms used : If the government accepts a proposal of law and signs it into law , the language is that `` The King accedes to the proposal '' . If the government refuses a proposal of law , the language is that `` The King shall keep the proposal under advisement '' . A law , once passed , is formulated in such a way as to be decreed by the monarch . The final involvement of the monarch with the States is dissolution . Constitutionally , the government is empowered to dissolve either house of the states by royal decree . Of course , this means that a minister ( usually the Prime Minister ) makes the decision and the monarch countersigns . The signing of such a royal decree constitutionally implies new elections for the house in question and the formation of a new house within three months of dissolution . The constitution prescribes a number of cases in which one or more houses of the States are dissolved ( particularly for changes to the constitution ) ; this is always done by royal decree . In addition , traditionally a collapse of the government is followed by dissolution of the House of Representatives and general elections . Before World War II , before it became common to form new governments with each new parliament , it would happen from time to time that a Council of Ministers found itself suddenly facing a new and unfriendly parliament . When the inevitable clash came , it was an established political trick for the Prime Minister to attempt to resolve the problem by dissolving the parliament in name of the monarch in the hope that new elections brought a more favorable parliament ( but it was also possible for the trick to backfire , in which case the new , equally hostile and far more angry parliament would suspend the budget to force the resignation of the government ) . Even though the monarch never speaks with members of the States - General formally , it was tradition up to 1999 that the queen would invite the members of parliament over once a year for informal talks about the general state of affairs in the country . These conversations were held in the strictest confidence due to ministerial responsibility . The tradition was suspended after 1999 though , after repeated incidents in which MPs divulged the contents of the conversations , despite agreeing not to ( and embarrassing the Prime Minister in doing so ) . In 2009 , an attempt was made to resume the tradition , but this failed when Arend Jan Boekestijn resumed the tradition of revealing the contents of his conversation with Queen Beatrix anyway . Other functions of the monarch ( edit ) The monarch has several functions in addition to the duties and responsibilities described in previous sections . Some of these are ( partly ) constitutional ; others are more traditional in nature . Although the constitution does not say so , the monarch is the head of state of the Kingdom of the Netherlands . As such , the monarch is the face of the kingdom toward the world : ambassadors of the Netherlands are emissaries of the monarch , foreign ambassadors represent foreign heads of state to the monarch . And even though head - of - government responsibility lies with the Prime Minister , it is the monarch that makes state visits to foreign heads of state as representative of the Netherlands . It is also the monarch whose face is shown on Dutch stamps and Dutch euro coins . Constitutionally , the monarch is the head of the Dutch Council of State . The council is a constitutional body of the Netherlands that serves two purposes . First , it is an advisory council to the government which advises on the desirability , practicability and constitutionality of new proposals of law . Second , it is the Supreme Court for the Netherlands in matters of administrative law . The position of the monarch as constitutional head of this Council means two things for the constitutional position of the monarch : The monarch is constitutionally directly involved with practically all aspects of lawmaking except approval by the States - General ( the representative of the electorate ) . From inception of the law through proposal to the States to finally signing into law , the monarch is involved . This involvement is derived from the days when the monarch was an absolute ruler and really made law . Originally , with the creation of the first constitutions , the monarchs strove to maintain power by maximum involvement with all aspects of lawmaking . Over time this has grown into a more advisory role . The monarch is constitutionally involved with at least part of the judicial branch of government as well . Of course , the role played by the monarch in the Council is largely theoretical due to ministerial responsibility . While the monarch is officially head of the Council , in practice the king never votes in Council meetings and always turns over his responsibility as chair of the meetings to the deputy head of the Council . He is presumed to be part of the discussions though . Despite the limitations on the role the monarch may play in the Council , his involvement is seen as valuable due to the experience and knowledge that a monarch accrues over the years . Reciprocally , being part of the Council deliberations is considered invaluable training and preparation for the role of monarch , which is why the heir - apparent is constitutionally an observer - member of the Council from the time he comes of age . The monarch is also the Grand Master of the Dutch orders of knighthoods : the Order of Orange - Nassau , the Order of the Netherlands Lion and the Military William Order . Lastly , the monarch plays a very large but completely unofficial role in the running of the country as advisor and confidant to the government . This duty traditionally takes the form of a weekly meeting between the Prime Minister and the monarch in which they discuss the affairs of the week , the plans of the cabinet and so on . It is assumed that the monarch exerts most of his influence ( as such ) in these meetings , in that he can bring his knowledge and experience to bear in what he tells the Prime Minister . In the case of Queen Beatrix , several former Prime Ministers have remarked that her case knowledge of each and every dossier is extensive and that she makes sure to be fully aware of all the details surrounding everything that lands on her desk . Perhaps somewhat surprisingly for a monarchy , the monarch is not formally the commander - in - chief of the military of the Netherlands . He was until 1983 , but a large overhaul of the constitution that year shifted supreme command of the armed forces to the government as a whole . Remuneration and privileges ( edit ) Stipend ( edit ) Article 40 of the constitution states that the monarch is to receive an annual stipend from the kingdom ( in other words wages , except that it can not be called that since the monarch is not employed by the country but rather the other way around ) . The exact rules surrounding these stipends are to be determined by law , as is the list of members of the royal house who also receive them . Under current Dutch law the monarch receives an annual stipend which is part of the annual budget , as do the heir - apparent , the consort of the monarch and the consort of the heir - apparent . The monarch receives this stipend constitutionally , the others because they are not allowed to work for anybody due to their positions . For example , the recipients of royal stipends in 2009 were Queen Beatrix ( € 813,000 ) , Prince Willem - Alexander ( the heir - apparent ; € 241,000 ) and Princess Máxima ( wife of Prince Willem - Alexander ; € 241,000 ) ) . This stipend is linked to the development of the wages of Dutch civil servants . At the beginning of 2009 there was some upset in the parliament about the cost of the royal house and the lack of insight into the structure of those costs . At the insistence of the parliament the development of the stipends of the royal house members was then linked to the development of the salaries of the Dutch civil servants . During 2009 it was agreed collectively that the civil servants would receive a pay increase of 1 % . In September 2009 , at the first budget debate in parliament during the economic crisis , it was pointed out to the parliament that their earlier decision meant that the stipend to the queen would now also increase . This in turn was reason for the parliament to be displeased again . Royal privileges ( edit ) Royal Standard Under the constitution , royal house members receiving a stipend are exempt from income tax over that stipend . They are also exempt from all personal taxes over assets and possessions that they use or need in the execution of their functions for the kingdom . The monarch and the heir - apparent are exempt from inheritance tax on inheritances received from members of the royal house . The monarch has the use of Huis ten Bosch as a residence and Noordeinde Palace as a work palace . In addition the Royal Palace of Amsterdam is also at the disposal of the monarch ( although it is only used for state visits and is open to the public when not in use for that purpose ) , as is Soestdijk Palace ( which is open to the public and not in official use at all at this time ) . The monarch has the use of an airplane and a train for state visits ( although the airplane is not exclusively reserved for the monarch anymore and the train spends most of its time on display at the Dutch Railway Museum ) . The monarch also has a small fleet of cars available , on which he may display the royal standard . The monarch is protected by law against Lese - majesty . This is actively enforced , although the sentences tend to be light . Positions of other members of the royal House and royal family ( edit ) The king and Queen with their children , 2013 . The royal family has become quite extensive since the birth of Queen Juliana 's children . By consequence so has the Dutch royal house ( nominally the collection of persons in line for the throne and their spouses ) , to the extent that membership of the royal house was limited by a change in the law in 2002 . Despite being a large clan , the family as a whole has very little to do officially with Dutch government or the running of the Netherlands . Constitutionally , an important role is played by the monarch . The heir - apparent is deemed to be preparing for an eventual ascent to the throne , so there are some limited tasks and a number of limits on them ( particularly he / she can not hold a paying job , since this might lead to entanglements later on ) . Since neither the monarch nor the heir - apparent may hold jobs , they receive a stipend from the government . Their spouses are similarly forbidden from earning an income and receive a stipend as well . But constitutionally that is the whole of the involvement of the royal family with the Dutch government . In particular , members of the royal house other than the monarch and the heir - apparent have no official tasks within the Dutch government and do not receive stipends . They are responsible for their own conduct and their own income . They may of course be asked to stand in from time to time such as to accompany the monarch on a state visit if the consort is ill , but this is always a personal favor and not an official duty . In addition , they are not exempt from taxation . Many members of the royal family hold ( or have held ) significant positions within civil society , usually functioning as head or spokesperson of one or more charitable organizations , patron of the arts and similar endeavors . Some members of the royal family are also ( or have been ) avid supporters of some personal cause ; Prince Bernhard for instance was always passionate about the treatment of World War II veterans and Princess Margriet ( who was born in Canada ) has a special relationship with Canadian veterans specifically . As a rule of thumb , the members of the royal family who are contemporaries of Princess Beatrix tend to hold civil society positions as a primary occupation whereas younger family members hold these positions in conjunction with a regular , paying job . A notable exception to this rule is Pieter van Vollenhoven ( husband to Princess Margriet ) , who was chairman of the Dutch Safety Board until his retirement . As noted earlier , the spouses of the monarch and the heir - apparent are forbidden from holding paying jobs or government responsibilities . This is to prevent any monetary entanglements or undue influences involving the current and future monarchs . These legal limits were not a great problem when they were instituted in the 19th century ; The Netherlands had kings and it was considered normal for a married woman to tend the household , raise the family and not to hold any position outside the home . The limits have been more problematic since the early 20th century , when the monarchy of the Netherlands passed to a series of queens and the consorts became men , starting with Prince Hendrik in 1901 . The male consorts since then have all either been raised with an expectation of government responsibility ( such as Prince Hendrik ) , or had established careers of their own before marrying the future queen ( Prince Bernhard and Prince Claus ) . Upon marrying into the Dutch royal family they all found themselves severely restricted in their freedom to act and make use of their abilities . All of the male consorts have been involved in some form of difficulty or another ( scandals involving infidelity and finances in the cases of Hendrik and Bernhard , deep depression in the case of Claus ) and it has been widely speculated ( and even generally accepted ) that sheer boredom played at least a part in all of these difficulties . Over time the restrictions on royal consorts have eased somewhat . Prince Hendrik was allowed no part or role in the Netherlands whatsoever . Due to his war efforts , Prince Bernhard was made Inspector General of the Dutch armed forces ( although that role was created for him ) and was an unofficial ambassador for the Netherlands who leveraged his wartime contacts to help Dutch industry . All that came to a halt in 1976 however , after the Lockheed bribery scandals . Prince Claus was allowed more leeway still after having established himself in Dutch society ( he was unpopular at first , being a German marrying into the royal family after World War II ) ; he was eventually given an advisorship within the Ministry for Development Cooperation pertaining to Africa , where he made good use of his experiences as a German diplomat in that continent . Nevertheless , neither Bernhard nor Claus ever fully got over the restrictive nature of their marriages and at the time of the royal wedding in 2002 it was broadly agreed in government circles that Queen Máxima ( who had a career in banking before marrying King Willem - Alexander ) should be allowed far more leeway if she desires .

More specifically , there is only one rule that pertains to members of the royal house in this area and that is that there are no rules . For Dutch citizens , the rules surrounding death and burial are laid out by the Funeral Services Law ( Dutch : Wet op de Lijkbezorging ) . However , article 87 of this law states that the entire law is not applicable to members of the royal house and that the Minister of Internal Affairs can also waive the law for other relatives of the king . The reason for this exceptional position of members of the royal house is traditional . Ever since the burial of William the Silent in the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft , members of the Orange - Nassau family have favored burial in the same crypt where William was entombed ( some members of the family buried elsewhere were even moved there later ) . However , for health and hygiene reasons , burial in churches was forbidden in the Netherlands by decree of William I in 1829 ( the practice had been banned before under French occupation of the country , but returned after 1815 ) . In order to allow entombing of members of the Royal family , all Dutch laws pertaining to burial have made an exception for the royal house ever since the 1829 decree . Burial of members of the royal house is completely a matter of tradition , circumstance , practicality and spirit of the times ( this due to the lack of any formal rules whatsoever ) . As a rule of thumb , the body of a deceased member of the royal house is placed on display for a few days in one of the palaces , to allow the family to say goodbye . Depending on the identity of the deceased ( a deceased monarch , for instance ) , there may also be a viewing for the public . Then , on the burial day , the body is transported to Delft in a special horse - drawn carriage . Current protocol specifies eight horses for a deceased monarch and six for a deceased royal consort ( which is relatively new , since Prince Hendrik was borne to Delft by eight horses ) . The current carriage is purple with white trim ( this has also changed since the burial of Queen Wilhelmina in 1962 , when the carriage was white ) . Currently , the route to Delft is lined by members of the Dutch armed forces ( which is also new since the burial of Prince Hendrik , which was a very quiet affair ) . Once in Delft , the body is entombed in the family crypt after a short service . Only members of the family are allowed into the crypt , through the main entrance in the church which is only opened for royal funerals ( the mayor of Delft has a key to a separate service entrance , which is only opened in the presence of two military police officers and two members of the Dutch General Intelligence and Security Service for maintenance ) .

( February 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Importance and position within Dutch society ( edit ) The importance and position of the monarchy within Dutch society has changed over time , together with changes in the constitutional position of the monarchy . The monarchy of the Netherlands was established in 1815 as a reaction to the decline and eventual fall of the Dutch Republic . It was observed at the time that a large part of the decline of the republic was due to a lack of a strong , central government in the face of strong , centrally led competitor nations such as Great Britain and the French kingdom . After the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1813 and the resurrection of the Netherlands , it was decided to reform the republic in the Kingdom of the Netherlands with a monarchy rather than the old stadtholder system . The original monarchy was absolute in nature , with the States - General serving as more of an advisory board without the power to do much against the king . This state of affairs allowed the king great freedom to determine the course of the nation and indeed William I was able to push through many changes that set the nation on the course towards industrialization and wealth . He also established the first Dutch railway system and the Nederlandsche Handel Maatschappij , which would later evolve into the ABN Amro bank . On the other hand , his policies caused great discord with the Southern Netherlands , leading to the Belgian Revolution and a years - long war . A backlash against these policies plus rising fear of early Marxism led to acceptance by William II of a series of reforms , starting with a new constitution in 1848 ( which was the start of a continuing series of limitations on royal power ) . Direct political power and influence of the king continued until 1890 , although it slowly declined in the meantime . Both William I and William II proved quite conservative rulers ( although William II was less inclined to interfere with policy than his father was ) , William I resisted major reforms until eventually conflict with the States - General and his own government forced his abdication . William III 's reign was a continuous saga of power struggles between the monarch and the parliamentary government ( which he forced out a couple of times ) , plus major international crises due to the same stubbornness ( including the Luxembourg Crisis ) . As a result , the Dutch government used the succession of William III by a female regent as an opportunity to make a power play and establish government authority over royal authority . Queen Wilhelmina was not happy with the new situation and made several half - hearted attempts during her reign to reassert authority . She was partly successful in certain areas ( being able to push for military rearmament before World War I ) but she never succeeded in restoring royal power . She did introduce a new concept to Dutch royalty though : the popular monarch . Establishing her popularity in military circles through her support of Dutch military prior to 1917 , she was able to wield her personal popularity to uphold the government against a socialist revolution in 1917 . Royal power continued to decline until the start of World War II . Forced to flee to London , Queen Wilhelmina established the position of `` mother of the Dutch state '' through her radio broadcasts into the occupied Netherlands and her support for other Dutchmen evading the Germans and fighting from England . She tried to position her family into more influence by giving Prince Bernhard an important position in the military , but was still relegated to a position of constitutional monarchy after the war . Following Wilhelmina 's abdication in 1948 , the Orange family seems to have settled for a position of unofficial influence behind the scenes coupled with a role as `` popular monarchs '' in public . As such the monarchs are practically never seen in public doing their official work ( except news footage of state visits and the reading of the government plans on Prinsjesdag ) and instead their relationship with the public has become more of a popular and romanticized notion of royalty . Queens Juliana and Beatrix were popularly perceived to have a figurehead role , serving to some extent as `` mother of the nation '' in times of crises and disasters ( such as the 1953 floods ) . In addition , there is a public holiday called Koningsdag ( before 2014 : Koninginnedag ) , during which the royal family pays a visit somewhere in the country and participates in local activities and traditions in order to get closer to the people . Popularity of the monarchy ( edit ) The popularity of the monarchy has changed over time , with constitutional influence , circumstance and economic tides . When the monarchy was established in 1815 , popularity was not a major concern . Still , the Orange family held popular support in around 60 % percent of the population following the fall of the French . This changed drastically over the following years as William I 's policies alienated the Southern Netherlands , drew the country into civil war and established industries that favored the rich Protestants and not the general populace . Royal popularity remained relatively low throughout the reign of the kings . William II was conservative , but on the whole did as little to lose popularity as he did to gain it . Economic decline drove most of his popular decline , although popular support for the monarch was still not considered of much import then . William III was unpopular under a wide section of the public , earning himself the nickname `` King Gorilla '' for his boorish way of behaving . Royal popularity started to increase with Wilhelmina 's ascent to the throne . She pushed for national reforms , was a huge supporter of the armed forces and strove for renewed industrialization . Around 1917 the country was generally divided into two camps : socialists in the cities , royalists elsewhere . This showed in the dividing lines during the failed Troelstra revolution , where Troelstra gained popular support in the larger cities but the countryside flocked to the queen . Wilhelmina was able to muster popular support with a countryside `` publicity tour '' together with her daughter -- this showing of popular support for the queen was instrumental in halting the revolution and stabilizing the government . Still , Wilhelmina remained deeply unpopular in the cities throughout the 1920s and 1930s . Nationwide support came for Wilhelmina and the monarchy during World War II . Wilhelmina was forced to retreat to London , but refused evacuation all the way to Canada ( although princess Juliana was sent there with her children ) . Wilhelmina regularly held radio broadcasts into the occupied Netherlands and staunchly supported the Dutch troops in exile . She became the symbol for Dutch resistance against the Germans , leading to the term `` WOZO '' ( Wilhelmina , Oranje Zal Overwinnen , or Wilhelmina , Orange Shall Be Victorious ) being graffitied over all manner of Dutch walls as a sign of resistance . Wilhelmina established popular support for the monarchy that essentially holds to this day . Although a completely different type of queen than Wilhelmina , Juliana gained enormous popular support in her own right . Starting with her public appearances after the 1953 floods , Juliana established herself as a `` mother of the nation '' type of queen . A far more homey , down - to - earth character than Wilhelmina , Queen Juliana reigned with a `` neighbour and housewife '' air about her in a time when the Netherlands went through a period of social relaxation in the 1960s and 1970s ( shrugging off the more rigid nature of previous Dutch society ) . Juliana was also a pacifist at heart at a time when Vietnam was an unpopular war and opposition to nuclear weapons was on the rise . Amid all this , Queen Juliana 's alleged socialist views and unassuming nature ( she had a popular image of being a queen who prepared her own Brussels sprouts ) made her the `` right queen for the time '' and she maintained and increased the popular support she had inherited from her mother , even in the face of different scandals surrounding her husband . Popular support waned for a time in the early 1980s , during the start of Queen Beatrix ' reign . She adopted a style of government more like that of Queen Wilhelmina and was perceived as cold and distant in a country used to Queen Juliana being everybody 's grandmother . Over time the country has got used to her style though and acceptance has grown . This was also aided by the public image of Prince Claus , who came to be perceived as charming and funny during her reign . Particularly his public love declaration for Beatrix a few years before the end of his life endeared him to many people . Popular support for the monarchy ( which was only measured regularly since Beatrix ' reign ) has consistently been above 85 % since the mid-1990s and reached a peak with the marriage of Prince Willem - Alexander to Princess Máxima in 2002 . Popular support has become more volatile over the last few years though , in the face of seeming improprieties by Prince Willem - Alexander and other members of the royal family during the economic crisis . Prince Willem - Alexander always had a reputation for being a `` naughty boy '' ( he became popularly known as `` Prins Pils '' ( `` Prince Lager '' ) after being photographed drinking beer as a student and once drove his car into a ditch while in university as well ) . Despite ongoing efforts to prepare for being king ( including internships throughout society , military service and a very public interest in water management ) , he has made some clumsy choices from time to time that have negatively impacted his popularity . When he became engaged to Máxima Zorreguieta ( daughter of Argentine junta member Jorge Zorreguieta ) , he publicly defended her by citing a letter describing her father 's actions as harmless -- the letter turned out to have been written by Jorge Rafael Videla . The matter was set aside when princess Máxima described her future husband 's actions as `` een beetje dom '' ( `` a little bit dumb '' ) in fluent Dutch during her first press conference ( this also established her reputation as a charming young lady in the Netherlands ) . In 2009 Willem - Alexander and Máxima were in the news again for investing in a vacation resort in Mozambique . Even though there were good reasons to believe the project would have benefited the local populace greatly , the expenditure of money abroad during a crisis in a project involving some shady brokers did not sit well with the Dutch public . Also a purchase of an alternative vacation home in Argentina the same year was unpopular . In and of themselves the incidents were not terrible , but they became public knowledge around the same time that other questions were being raised about the family finances of the Oranges . Even though the incidents caused only a slight drop in overall popular support ( down to about 83 % ) , they led to an increased support for moving to a fully ceremonial monarchy ( around 43 % ) , a freezing of the royal stipends ( around 66 % ) or even a lowering of the stipends ( about 33 % ) and removing the royal exemption on taxation ( also around 40 % ) . History ( edit ) For rulers of the Netherlands before 1795 , see Stadtholder of the Netherlands and List of rulers of the Netherlands Prior to the Batavian Revolution of 1795 , the semi-independent provinces of the Netherlands had chief - executives called stadtholders , who were all drawn from the House of Orange or the House of Nassau by primogeniture . After 1747 the office became formally hereditary in all seven provinces in the House of Orange - Nassau . The House of Orange - Nassau came from Dietz , Germany , seat of one of the Nassau counties . Their title ' Prince of Orange ' was acquired through inheritance of the Principality of Orange in southern France , in 1544 . William of Orange ( also known as William the Silent ) was the first Orange stadtholder ( ironically , appointed by Philip II of Spain ) . From 1568 to his death in 1584 , he led the Dutch struggle for independence from Spain . His younger brother , John VI , Count of Nassau - Dillenburg , Stadtholder of Utrecht , was the direct male line ancestor of the later Stadtholders of Friesland and Groningen , the later hereditary stadtholders and the first King of the Netherlands . The Netherlands remained , formally , a confederated republic , even when in 1747 the office of stadtholder was centralized ( one stadtholder for all provinces ) and became formally hereditary under the House of Orange - Nassau . The present monarchy was founded in 1813 , when the French were driven out . The new regime was headed by Prince William Frederick of Orange , the son of the last stadtholder . He originally reigned over only the territory of the old republic as `` sovereign prince '' . In 1815 , after Napoleon escaped from Elba , William Frederick raised the Netherlands to the status of a kingdom and proclaimed himself King William I. As part of the rearrangement of Europe at the Congress of Vienna , the House of Orange - Nassau was confirmed as rulers of the Kingdom of the Netherlands , enlarged with what are now Belgium and Luxembourg . At the same time , William became hereditary Grand Duke of Luxembourg in exchange for ceding his family 's hereditary lands in Germany to Nassau - Weilburg and Prussia . The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg was a part of the Netherlands ( until 1839 ) while at the same time a member state of the German Confederation . It became fully independent in 1839 , but remained in a personal union with the Kingdom of the Netherlands until 1890 . Abdication of the throne has become a de facto tradition in the Dutch monarchy . Queen Wilhelmina and Queen Juliana both abdicated in favour of their daughters and William I abdicated in favor of his eldest son , William II . The only Dutch monarchs to die on the throne were William II and William III . On April 30 , 2013 Queen Beatrix , abdicated in favour of Crown Prince Willem - Alexander . List of hereditary heads of state ( edit ) See List of monarchs of the Netherlands . Religious affiliation ( edit ) The Dutch Royal Family has been historically members of the Dutch Reformed Church . It became the Protestant Church in the Netherlands after its 2004 merger . Royal Finances ( edit ) The royal palaces are the property of the Dutch state and given for the use of the reigning monarch ; While the House of Orange - Nassau possesses a large number of personal belongings , items such as paintings , historical artifacts and jewellery are usually associated with the performance of royal duties and / or the decoration of royal residences . As such , these items have a cultural significance beyond that of simple artworks and jewellery , and have therefore been placed in the hands of trusts : the House of Orange - Nassau Archives Trust and the House of Orange - Nassau Historic Collections Trust . Part of the collection is on permanent loan to Het Loo Palace Museum in Apeldoorn and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam . Queen Juliana had sold the remaining royal palaces and had put the cultural assets ( paintings , antiques , books , etc . ) into non-personal trusts . The crown jewels , comprising the crown , orb and sceptre , Sword of State , royal banner , and ermine mantle have been placed in the Crown Property Trust . The trust also holds the items used on ceremonial occasions , such as the carriages , table silver , and dinner services . Placing these goods in the hands of a trust ensures that they will remain at the disposal of the monarch in perpetuity . The Royal Archives house the personal archives of the royal family . This includes books , photographs , and artworks , as well as the books of the House of Orange - Nassau and the music library . The library was begun in 1813 , following the return of the Orange - Nassaus to the Netherlands . King William I allowed the Stadtholder 's library to remain part of the Royal Library in The Hague . The library houses a collection of some 70,000 books , journals and brochures . The music library has 6,000 scores , going back to the mid 18th century . The Royal House Finances Act ( 1972 ) as amended in 2008 sets allowances for the King ( or Queen Regnant ) , the Heir to the Throne , and the former sovereign who has abdicated . Provision is also made for their spouses ( and in the case of death , for the surviving spouse ) . The allowances have two components : income ( A-component ) and personnel and materials ( B - component ) . Annual increases or decreases are provided for : the A component is linked to changes in the annual salary of the Vice-President of the Council of State ; the B - component is linked to changes in civil service pay and the cost of living . In 2009 , the government decided that the annual State Budget of the Netherlands should show in a transparent way all the costs of the Royal House , some of which had previously been borne by various Government Ministries . Three sets of costs are now separately allocated in the annual budget for the Royal House ( Budget I of the annual State Budget ) . These are : Allowances paid under the Royal House Finances Act . They comprise the income and personnel and materials components mentioned above . Expenses incurred in the performance of official duties . They include costs which had been previously been borne by the budgets of three Government Ministries ( Interior , Transport and Water Management , Health and Welfare ) and which are now attributed to the Royal budget in the interest of transparency . They also include the costs relating to royal flights and the royal yacht , Groene Draeck . Other expenses relating to the management of the royal house . They relate to expenses for the Government Information Service ( AZ / RVD ) in connection with the royal house , the cost of the Royal Military Household , the Queen 's Cabinet and the travel and other costs incurred by royal visits to overseas provinces and countries within the Dutch Kingdom ( former Netherlands Antilles and Aruba ) . Costs relating to the security of members of the royal house , state visits , and the maintenance and upkeep of the royal palaces ( which are considered to be national monuments ) continue to be funded by the budgets of the appropriate Government Ministries and are not included in the budget for the Royal House . According to the State Budget for 2010 , the budgetary allocation for the royal house in 2010 is € 39.643 million . There are the following categories of expenditure : Allowances paid to the queen , the Prince of Orange and Princess Máxima under the Royal House Finances Act . They total some € 7.102 million in 2010 . Expenses incurred in the performance of official duties . They total some € 26.818 million in 2010 . Other expenses relating to the management of the royal house . They total some € 5.723 million in 2010 . Monarchs of the Netherlands ( edit ) Main article : List of monarchs of the Netherlands Wilhelmina ( 1890 -- 1948 ) ( edit ) Main article : Wilhelmina of the Netherlands When Wilhelmina came to the Dutch throne in 1890 at age 10 , the throne of Luxembourg went to her very distant agnate ( but incidentally also her maternal granduncle ) , Adolf , former Duke of Nassau . Thus ended the personal union between the Netherlands and Luxembourg . The 58 - year reign of Queen Wilhelmina was dominated by the two World Wars . She married a German prince , Duke Henry of Mecklenburg - Schwerin , who was not happy with his unrewarding role of husband - to - the - queen . Wilhelmina 's strong personality and unrelenting passion to fulfill her inherited task overpowered many men in position of authority , including ministers , Prime Ministers and her own husband . She is mostly remembered for her role during World War II . The initial disappointment of many Dutch people because of her quick withdrawal to London faded ( though it was never forgotten and by some was never forgiven ) when she proved to be of great moral support to the people and the resistance in her occupied country . Hendrik and Wilhelmina had one daughter , Juliana , who came to the throne in 1948 . They lived in The Hague and in Palace ' t Loo ( Paleis ' t Loo ) in Apeldoorn . She died in 1962 . For her early reign and character , the letters of Queen Victoria give a good perspective ... Juliana ( 1948 -- 1980 ) ( edit ) Main article : Juliana of the Netherlands Dutch Royalty House of Orange - Nassau King William I Children King William II Prince Frederick Princess Pauline Princess Marianne Grandchildren King William III Prince Alexander Prince Henry Prince Ernest Casimir Grand Duchess Sophie Queen Louise Prince William Prince Frederick Princess Marie Princess Charlotte Prince Albert Princess Elisabeth Princess Alexandrine King William II Children King William III Prince Alexander Prince Henry Prince Ernest Casimir Grand Duchess Sophie Grandchildren Prince William Prince Maurice Prince Alexander Queen Wilhelmina Prince Charles Augustus Princess Marie Alexandrine Princess Anna Sophia Princess Elisabeth Sybille King William III Children Prince William Prince Maurice Prince Alexander Queen Wilhelmina Grandchildren Queen Juliana Queen Wilhelmina Children Queen Juliana Grandchildren Queen Beatrix Princess Irene Princess Margriet Princess Christina Queen Juliana Children Queen Beatrix Princess Irene Princess Margriet Princess Christina Grandchildren King William - Alexander Prince Friso Prince Constantijn Prince Carlos Princess Margarita Prince Jaime Princess Carolina Prince Maurits Prince Bernhard Prince Pieter - Christiaan Prince Floris Bernardo Guillermo Nicolás Guillermo Juliana Guillermo Queen Beatrix Children King William - Alexander Prince Friso Prince Constantijn Grandchildren Princess Catharina - Amalia Princess Alexia Princess Ariane Countess Luana Countess Zaria Countess Eloise Count Claus - Casimir Countess Leonore King Willem - Alexander Children Princess Catharina - Amalia Princess Alexia Princess Ariane Juliana reigned from 1948 until 1980 , and whereas Wilhelmina reigned like a general , Juliana expressed a more motherly character . One of her first official acts was to sign the treaty of independence of the Dutch colony Indonesia . During her reign the monarchy became entangled in two major crises : the Greet Hofmans affair and the Lockheed bribery scandals . In the first it was her involvement in a mystic pacifist group that was a cause for concern . The second crisis announced itself when it became known that , the queen 's husband , Prince Bernard von Lippe - Biesterfeld , had taken bribes to advance Lockheed 's bid . After an inquiry , the prince was forbidden to perform the military tasks he had performed since 1945 , but in this crisis the monarchy itself , nor Juliana 's position , was never in doubt . She and Bernhard had four daughters , Beatrix , Irene , Margriet and Christina . After their return from Ottawa , Canada in 1945 ( where Margriet was born ) , they lived in the Soestdijk Palace ( Paleis Soestdijk ) in Soestdijk , about 20 km north - east of Utrecht . She died on 20 March 2004 . Her husband Bernhard died on 1 December 2004 . Beatrix ( 1980 -- 2013 ) ( edit ) Main article : Beatrix of the Netherlands The Dutch royal family today is much larger than it has ever been . Former Queen Beatrix and her husband , Prince Claus , had three sons , Willem - Alexander ( married to Queen Máxima ) , Friso ( whose widow is Princess Mabel ) and Constantijn ( married to Princess Laurentien ) . Her sister Margriet and her spouse Pieter van Vollenhoven have four sons : Maurits , Bernhard , Pieter - Christiaan and Floris . Four of these seven princes as well as princess Margriet , are all ( potentially ) legal heirs to the throne , although the first right goes to the crown prince , and after him his daughters Catharina - Amalia , Alexia , Ariane , and then his brother Constantijn . Prince Friso lost his right to the throne because no approval was asked for his marriage to Mabel Wisse Smit to the States - General . The two other sisters of Beatrix , Irene and Christina , have lost their rights to the throne because their marriages were not approved by the States - General . They both married Roman Catholics and Irene herself converted to Roman Catholicism , which at that time ( the 1960s ) was still politically problematic for an heir to the throne . An additional complication which the government wanted to avoid , was that Irene 's husband , Prince Carlos - Hugo of Bourbon - Parma ( whom she later divorced ) , was a member of a deposed Italian dynasty who claimed rights to the Spanish throne . Traditionally , Dutch monarchs have always been members of the Dutch Reformed Church although this was never constitutionally required . This tradition is embedded in the history of the Netherlands . On 28 January 2013 , the Queen announced that she would be abdicating on 30 April 2013 in favour of her eldest son . Willem - Alexander ( 2013 -- present ) ( edit ) Main article : Willem - Alexander of the Netherlands The current monarch is King Willem - Alexander ( born 1967 ) , who has been on the Throne since 30 April 2013 . He studied history at the University of Leiden and became actively involved in water management . His wife is Queen Máxima ( née Máxima Zorreguieta Cerruti ) , an economics major , whose father was a minister of agriculture in the dictatorial regime under General Videla in Argentina . Because of that their relationship was accompanied by fierce public debate and only officially sanctioned after quiet diplomacy , resulting in Máxima 's father agreeing not to be present on their wedding day ( 2 February 2002 ) . Former minister Max van der Stoel and Prime Minister Wim Kok seem to have played a crucial role in this process . On 7 December 2003 Princess Máxima gave birth to a daughter : Princess Catharina - Amalia . On 26 June 2005 another daughter was born : Princess Alexia . On 10 April 2007 a third daughter was born , Princess Ariane . They are first , second and third in line to the Dutch throne . His mother , Princess Beatrix announced that she would be abdicating the Throne on 30 April 2013 . On that day , Willem - Alexander became the new King and was sworn in and inaugurated in the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam , in a session of the States - General . Heir apparent ( edit ) The heir apparent to the Dutch throne is Catharina - Amalia , Princess of Orange . Full title ( edit ) See also : Style of the Dutch sovereign Most members of the Dutch royal family , in addition to other titles hold ( or held ) the princely title Prince of Orange - Nassau . The children of Prince Friso and Prince Constantijn are instead counts and countesses of Orange - Nassau . In addition to the titles King / Prince of the Netherlands and Prince of Orange - Nassau , daughters of Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard of Lippe - Biesterfeld hold another princely title - Princesses of Lippe - Biesterfeld . The children of Queen Beatrix and their male - line descendants , except for the children of King Willem - Alexander , also carry the appellative Honourable ( Jonkheer / Jonkvrouw ) in combination with the name ' Van Amsberg ' . Queen Juliana , the only child of Queen Wilhelmina and Duke Henry of Mecklenburg - Schwerin , was also a Duchess of Mecklenburg - Schwerin . Since the title can pass only through the male line , Queen Juliana 's descendants do not carry the title of Duke of Mecklenburg - Schwerin . The title Prince of the Netherlands is the prerogative of the most important members of the royal house ( children of the monarch and of the heir apparent ) , which is smaller than the royal family . Members of the royal house can lose their membership when they enter into marriage without asking ( and receiving ) consent from Parliament . In addition to this , the Dutch Monarch carries a number of subsidiary titles , of more historical than practical note , that have been passed down through the House of Orange - Nassau and represent the accretion of lands and influence by their ancestors : Duke of Limburg , Count of Katzenelnbogen , Vianden , Diez , Spiegelberg , Buren , Leerdam and Culemborg , Marquis of Veere and Vlissingen , Baron of Breda , Diest , Beilstein , the town of Grave and the lands of Cuyk , IJsselstein , Cranendonk , Eindhoven and Liesveld , Hereditary Lord and Seigneur of Ameland , Lord of Borculo , Bredevoort , Lichtenvoorde , ' t Loo , Geertruidenberg , Klundert , Zevenbergen , Hoge and Lage Zwaluwe , Naaldwijk , Polanen , St Maartensdijk , Soest , Baarn and Ter Eem , Willemstad , Steenbergen , Montfort , St Vith , Bütgenbach and Dasburg , Viscount of Antwerp . Probably the most important of these was the Barony of Breda , which formed the core of the Nassau lands in the Netherlands ( Brabant ) even before they inherited the Principality of Orange in what is now southern France . This was probably followed by the Viscountship / Burgravate of Antwerp , which allowed William the Silent to control a large amount of the politics in that then very important city , followed by the Marquisate of Veere , which allowed William the Silent and his descendants to control the votes of the province of Zeeland. . The royal family and the royal House ( edit ) A distinction is made in the Netherlands between the royal family and the Royal House . The royal family includes people born into the family ( and legally recognised as such ) or who have married into the family . However , not every member of the royal family is a member of the Royal House . By Act of Parliament , the members of the Royal House are : the monarch ( King or Queen ) ; the former monarch ( on abdication ) ; the members of the royal family in the line of succession to the throne who are not further removed to the monarch than the second degree of consanguinity ; Princess Margriet of the Netherlands the spouses of the above . Members of the Royal House can lose their membership and designation as prince or princess of the Netherlands if they marry without the consent of the Dutch Parliament . This happened to Prince Friso when he married Mabel Wisse Smit . This is written down explicitly in the part of the constitution of the Netherlands that controls the Monarchy of the Netherlands .

While these are heraldic flags , they are not a person 's coat of arms in banner form as the British royal family does . Some examples from the Royal Family 's website are : The standards of the ruling king or queen : Royal Flag of the Netherlands until 1908 Current Royal Standard of the Netherlands The standards of the current sons of Princess Beatrix and their wives , and the Princess ' husband : Royal Standard of the Princes of the Netherlands ( Sons of Queen Beatrix ) Standard of Claus von Amsberg as Royal consort of the Netherlands Standard of Princess Máxima of the Netherlands Standard of Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands The standards of the sisters of Princess Beatrix and their children : Standard of the Princesses of the Netherlands ( Daughters of Queen Juliana ) Standard of the Princes of Oranje - Nassau ( Sons of Princess Margriet ) The standards of former members of the Royal Family : Standard of Juliana of the Netherlands as Princess Standard of Bernhard of Lippe - Biesterfeld as Royal consort of the Netherlands Standard of Hendrik of Mecklenburg - Schwerin as Royal consort of the Netherlands Standard of Queen Mother Emma of the Netherlands Standard of Marie of Wied , Princess of the Netherlands Monograms ( edit ) As most Royal Families , the Dutch Royal Family also makes use of royal monograms . Some examples from the Royal Family 's website are : The monograms of the ruling kings or queens : King Willem - Alexander Queen Beatrix Queen Juliana Queen Juliana , Variant Queen Wilhelmina William I - III William I The monograms of some members of the Royal Family ; Queen Anna Pavlovna Queen Sophie Queen Emma Queen Emma , Variant Prince Henry Prince Bernhard Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard Prince Claus Queen Máxima Willem - Alexander and Máxima Prince Friso Prince Friso and Princess Mabel Prince Constantijn Princess Laurentien Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien See also ( edit ) House of Orange - Nassau List of stadtholders for the Low Countries provinces List of monarchs of the Netherlands List of heirs to the Dutch throne Monarchies in Europe List of rulers of the Netherlands Notes ( edit ) References ( edit ) Jump up ^ http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2012/07/bankrupt_man_jailed_for_insult.php Jump up ^ http://current.com/news-and-politics/88877763_dutch-man-jailed-for-insulting-the-queen.htm Jump up ^ http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/dutch-twitter-user-6-month-suspended-sentence-insulting-queen-beatrix-twitter-article-1.1146214 Jump up ^ Thewes , Guy ( 2006 ) ( PDF ) .

In 1580 the Court of Holland ordered it sold . William bought it as it gave him two more votes in the States of Zeeland . He owned the government of the two towns , and so could appoint their magistrates . He already had one as First Noble for Philip William , who had inherited Maartensdijk . This made William the predominant member of the States of Zeeland . It was a smaller version of the countship of Zeeland ( & Holland ) promised to William , and was a potent political base for his descendants . ^ Jump up to : `` The Official Website of the Dutch Royal House in English '' .

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

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

Midwestern United States
Midwestern United states - wikipedia Midwestern United states Jump to : navigation , search `` Midwest '' redirects here . For other uses , see Midwest ( disambiguation ) . Regional definitions vary slightly among sources . This map reflects the Midwestern United States as defined by the Census Bureau , which is followed in many sources . The Midwestern United States , also referred to as the American Midwest , Middle West , or simply the Midwest , is one of four geographic regions defined by the United States Census Bureau . It occupies the northern central part of the United States of America . It was officially named the North Central region by the Census Bureau until 1984 . It is located between the Northeastern U.S. and the Western U.S. , with Canada to its north and the Southern U.S. to its south . The Census Bureau 's definition consists of 12 states in the north central United States : Illinois , Indiana , Iowa , Kansas , Michigan , Minnesota , Missouri , Nebraska , North Dakota , Ohio , South Dakota , and Wisconsin . The region generally lies on the broad Interior Plain between the states occupying the Appalachian Mountain range and the states occupying the Rocky Mountain range . Major rivers in the region include , from east to west , the Ohio River , the Upper Mississippi River , and the Missouri River . A 2012 report from the United States Census put the population of the Midwest at 65,377,684 . The Midwest is divided by the Census Bureau into two divisions . The East North Central Division includes Illinois , Indiana , Michigan , Ohio and Wisconsin , all of which are also part of the Great Lakes region . The West North Central Division includes Iowa , Kansas , Minnesota , Missouri , North Dakota , Nebraska , and South Dakota , several of which are located at least partly , within the Great Plains region . Chicago is the most populated city in the American Midwest and the third most populous in the entire country . Other large Midwest cities include ( in order by population ) : Columbus , Indianapolis , Detroit , Milwaukee , Kansas City , Omaha , Minneapolis , Wichita , Cleveland , St. Louis , St. Paul , and Cincinnati . Chicago and its suburbs form the largest metropolitan statistical area with 9.8 million people , followed by Metro Detroit , Minneapolis -- St. Paul , Greater St. Louis , Greater Cleveland , Greater Cincinnati , the Kansas City metro area , and the Columbus metro area .

A variant term , Middle West , has been used since the 19th century and remains relatively common . Another term sometimes applied to the same general region is the heartland . Other designations for the region have fallen out of use , such as the Northwest or Old Northwest ( from `` Northwest Territory '' ) and Mid-America . The Northwest Territory ( 1787 ) was one of the earliest territories of the United States , stretching northwest from the Ohio River to northern Minnesota and the upper - Mississippi . The upper - Mississippi watershed including the Missouri and Illinois Rivers was the setting for the earlier French settlements of the Illinois Country . Economically the region is balanced between heavy industry and agriculture ( large sections of this land area make up the United States ' Corn Belt ) , with finance and services such as medicine and education becoming increasingly important . Its central location makes it a transportation crossroads for river boats , railroads , autos , trucks and airplanes . Politically the region swings back and forth between the parties , and thus is heavily contested and often decisive in elections . After the sociological study Middletown ( 1929 ) , which was based on Muncie , Indiana , commentators used Midwestern cities ( and the Midwest generally ) as `` typical '' of the nation . Earlier , the rhetorical question , ' Will it play in Peoria ? ' , had become a stock phrase using Peoria , Illinois to signal whether something would appeal to mainstream America . The region has a higher employment - to - population ratio ( the percentage of employed people at least 16 years - old ) than the Northeast , the West , the South , or the Sun Belt states as of 2011 . Definition ( edit ) Divisions of the Midwest by the U.S. Census Bureau into East North Central and West North Central , separated by the Mississippi River . Traditional definitions of the Midwest include the Northwest Ordinance Old Northwest states and many states that were part of the Louisiana Purchase . The states of the Old Northwest are also known as Great Lakes states and are east - north central in the United States . The Ohio River runs along the southeastern section while the Mississippi River runs north to south near the center . Many of the Louisiana Purchase states in the west - north central United States , are also known as Great Plains states , where the Missouri River is a major waterway joining with the Mississippi . The Midwest lies north of the 36 ° 30 ′ parallel that the 1820 Missouri Compromise established as the dividing line between future slave and non-slave states . The Midwest Region is defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as these 12 states : Illinois : Old Northwest , Mississippi River ( Missouri River joins near the state border ) , Ohio River , and Great Lakes state Indiana : Old Northwest , Ohio River , and Great Lakes state Iowa : Louisiana Purchase , Mississippi River , and Missouri River state Kansas : Louisiana Purchase , Great Plains , and Missouri River state Michigan : Old Northwest and Great Lakes state Minnesota : Old Northwest , Louisiana Purchase , Mississippi River , part of Red River Colony before 1818 , Great Lakes state Missouri : Louisiana Purchase , Mississippi River ( Ohio River joins near the state border ) , Missouri River , and border state Nebraska : Louisiana Purchase , Great Plains , and Missouri River state North Dakota : Louisiana Purchase , part of Red River Colony before 1818 , Great Plains , and Missouri River state Ohio : Old Northwest ( Historic Connecticut Western Reserve ) , Ohio River , and Great Lakes state . The southeastern part of the state is part of northern Appalachia South Dakota : Louisiana Purchase , Great Plains , and Missouri River state Wisconsin : Old Northwest , Mississippi River , and Great Lakes state Various organizations define the Midwest with slightly different groups of states . For example , the Council of State Governments , an organization for communication and coordination among state governments , includes in its Midwest regional office eleven states from the above list , omitting Missouri , which is in the CSG South region . The Midwest Region of the National Park Service consists of these twelve states plus the state of Arkansas . The Midwest Archives Conference , a professional archives organization , with hundreds of archivists , curators , and information professionals as members , covers the above twelve states plus Kentucky . Physical Geography ( edit ) Main articles : Geography of Illinois , Geography of Indiana , Geography of Iowa , Geography of Kansas , Geography of Michigan , Geography of Minnesota , Geography of Missouri , Geography of Nebraska , Geography of North Dakota , Geography of Ohio , Geography of South Dakota , and Geography of Wisconsin Typical terrain of the Driftless Area as viewed from Wildcat Mountain State Park in Vernon County , Wisconsin Flint Hills grasslands of Kansas Theodore Roosevelt National Park , North Dakota Prairie in Effigy Mounds National Monument , Iowa The vast central area of the U.S. , into Canada , is a landscape of low , flat to rolling terrain in the Interior Plains . Most of its eastern two - thirds form the Interior Lowlands . The Lowlands gradually rise westward , from a line passing through eastern Kansas , up to over 5,000 feet ( 1,500 m ) in the unit known as the Great Plains . Most of the Great Plains area is now farmed . While these states are for the most part relatively flat , consisting either of plains or of rolling and small hills , there is a measure of geographical variation . In particular , the following areas exhibit a high degree of topographical variety : the eastern Midwest near the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains ; the Great Lakes Basin ; the Ozark Mountains of southern Missouri ; the rugged topography of Southern Indiana and Southern Illinois ; and the Driftless Area of northwestern Illinois , southwestern Wisconsin , southeastern Minnesota , and northeastern Iowa . Proceeding westward , the Appalachian Plateau topography gradually gives way to gently rolling hills and then ( in central Ohio ) to flat lands converted principally to farms and urban areas . This is the beginning of the vast Interior Plains of North America . As a result , prairies cover most of the Great Plains states . Iowa and much of Illinois lie within an area called the prairie peninsula , an eastward extension of prairies that borders conifer and mixed forests to the north , and hardwood deciduous forests to the east and south . Geographers subdivide the Interior Plains into the Interior Lowlands and the Great Plains on the basis of elevation . The Lowlands are mostly below 1,500 feet ( 460 m ) above sea level whereas the Great Plains to the west are higher , rising in Colorado to around 5,000 feet ( 1,500 m ) . The Lowlands , then , are confined to parts of Minnesota , Iowa , Michigan , Ohio , Indiana , Tennessee , and Kentucky . Missouri and Arkansas have regions of Lowlands elevations , but in the Ozarks ( within the Interior Highlands ) are higher . Those familiar with the topography of eastern Ohio may be confused by this ; that region is hilly , but its rocks are horizontal and are an extension of the Appalachian Plateau . The Interior Plains are largely coincident with the vast Mississippi River Drainage System ( other major components are the Missouri and Ohio Rivers ) . These rivers have for tens of millions of years been eroding downward into the mostly horizontal sedimentary rocks of Paleozoic , Mesozoic , and Cenozoic ages . The modern Mississippi River system has developed during the Pleistocene Epoch of the Cenozoic . Rainfall decreases from east to west , resulting in different types of prairies , with the tallgrass prairie in the wetter eastern region , mixed - grass prairie in the central Great Plains , and shortgrass prairie towards the rain shadow of the Rockies . Today , these three prairie types largely correspond to the corn / soybean area , the wheat belt , and the western rangelands , respectively . Although hardwood forests in the northern Midwest were clear - cut in the late 19th century , they were replaced by new growth . Ohio and Michigan 's forests are still growing . The majority of the Midwest can now be categorized as urbanized areas or pastoral agricultural areas . Prehistory ( edit ) Main article : Mississippian culture Among the American Indians Paleoindian cultures were the earliest in North America , with a presence in the Great Plains and Great Lakes areas from about 12,000 BCE to around 8,000 BCE . Monks Mound , located at the Cahokia Mounds near Collinsville , Illinois , is the largest Pre-Columbian earthwork in America north of Mesoamerica . Following the Paleo - Indian period is the Archaic period ( 8,000 BCE to 1,000 BCE ) , the Woodland Tradition ( 1,000 BCE to 100 CE ) , and the Mississippian Period ( 900 to 1500 CE ) . Archaeological evidence indicates that Mississippian culture traits probably began in the St. Louis , Missouri area and spread northwest along the Mississippi and Illinois rivers and entered the state along the Kankakee River system . It also spread northward into Indiana along the Wabash , Tippecanoe , and White Rivers . Mississippian peoples in the Midwest were mostly farmers who followed the rich , flat floodplains of Midwestern rivers . They brought with them a well - developed agricultural complex based on three major crops -- maize , beans , and squash . Maize , or corn , was the primary crop of Mississippian farmers . They gathered a wide variety of seeds , nuts , and berries , and fished and hunted for fowl to supplement their diets . With such an intensive form of agriculture , this culture supported large populations . The Mississippi period was characterized by a mound - building culture . The Mississippians suffered a tremendous population decline about 1400 , coinciding with the global climate change of the Little Ice Age . Their culture effectively ended before 1492 .

( December 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Great Lakes native Americans ( edit ) The major tribes of the Great Lakes region included the Hurons , Ottawa , Chippewas or Ojibwas , Potawatomis , Winnebago ( Ho - chunk ) , Menominees , Sacs , Neutrals , Fox , and the Miami . Most numerous were the Hurons and Chippewas . Fighting and battle were often launched between tribes , with the losers forced to flee . Most are of the Algonquian language family . Some tribes -- such as the Stockbridge - Munsee and the Brothertown -- are also Algonkian - speaking tribes who relocated from the eastern seaboard to the Great Lakes region in the 19th century . The Oneida belong to the Iroquois language group and the Ho - Chunk of Wisconsin are one of the few Great Lakes tribes to speak a Siouan language . American Indians in this area did not develop a written form of language . Winnebago family ( 1852 ) In the 16th century , American Indians used projectiles and tools of stone , bone , and wood to hunt and farm . They made canoes for fishing . Most of them lived in oval or conical wigwams that could be easily moved away . Various tribes had different ways of living . The Ojibwas were primarily hunters and fishing was also important in the Ojibwas economy . Other tribes such as Sac , Fox , and Miami , both hunted and farmed . They were oriented toward the open prairies where they engaged in communal hunts for buffalo ( bison ) . In the northern forests , the Ottawas and Potawatomis separated into small family groups for hunting . The Winnebagos and Menominees used both hunting methods interchangeably and built up widespread trade networks extending as far west as the Rockies , north to the Great Lakes , south to the Gulf of Mexico , and east to the Atlantic Ocean . The Hurons reckoned descent through the female line , while the others favored the patrilineal method . All tribes were governed under chiefdoms or complex chiefdoms . For example , Hurons were divided into matrilineal clans , each represented by a chief in the town council , where they met with a town chief on civic matters . But Chippewa people 's social and political life was simpler than that of settled tribes . The religious beliefs varied among tribes . Hurons believed in Yoscaha , a supernatural being who lived in the sky and was believed to have created the world and the Huron people . At death , Hurons thought the soul left the body to live in a village in the sky . Chippewas were a deeply religious people who believed in the Great Spirit . They worshiped the Great Spirit through all their seasonal activities and viewed religion as a private matter : each person 's relation with his personal guardian spirit was part of his thinking every day of life . Ottawa and Potawatomi people had very similar religious beliefs to those of the Chippewas . Great Plains Indians ( edit ) Main article : Plains Indians Young Oglala Lakota girl in front of tipi with puppy beside her , probably on or near Pine Ridge Indian Reservation , South Dakota Cumulus clouds hover above a yellowish prairie at Badlands National Park , South Dakota , native lands to the Sioux . The Plains Indians are the indigenous peoples who live on the plains and rolling hills of the Great Plains of North America . Their colorful equestrian culture and famous conflicts with settlers and the US Army have made the Plains Indians archetypical in literature and art for American Indians everywhere . Plains Indians are usually divided into two broad classifications , with some degree of overlap . The first group were fully nomadic , following the vast herds of buffalo . Some tribes occasionally engaged in agriculture ; growing tobacco and corn primarily . These included the Blackfoot , Arapaho , Assiniboine , Cheyenne , Comanche , Crow , Gros Ventre , Kiowa , Lakota , Lipan , Plains Apache ( or Kiowa Apache ) , Plains Cree , Plains Ojibwe , Sarsi , Shoshone , Stoney , and Tonkawa . The second group of Plains Indians ( sometimes referred to as Prairie Indians ) were the semi-sedentary tribes who , in addition to hunting buffalo , lived in villages and raised crops . These included the Arikara , Hidatsa , Iowa , Kaw ( or Kansa ) , Kitsai , Mandan , Missouria , Nez Perce , Omaha , Osage , Otoe , Pawnee , Ponca , Quapaw , Santee , Wichita , and Yankton . The nomadic tribes of the Great Plains survived on hunting , some of their major hunts centered on deer and buffalo . Some tribes are described as part of the ' Buffalo Culture ' ( sometimes called , for the American Bison ) . Although the Plains Indians hunted other animals , such as elk or antelope , bison was their primary game food source . Bison flesh , hide , and bones from Bison hunting provided the chief source of raw materials for items that Plains Indians made , including food , cups , decorations , crafting tools , knives , and clothing . The tribes followed the bison 's seasonal grazing and migration . The Plains Indians lived in teepees because they were easily disassembled and allowed the nomadic life of following game . When Spanish horses were obtained , the Plains tribes rapidly integrated them into their daily lives . By the early 18th century , many tribes had fully adopted a horse culture . Before their adoption of guns , the Plains Indians hunted with spears , bows , and bows and arrows , and various forms of clubs . The use of horses by the Plains Indians made hunting ( and warfare ) much easier . Among the most powerful and dominant tribes were the Dakota or Sioux , who occupied large amounts of territory in the Great Plains of the Midwest . The area of the Great Sioux Nation spread throughout the South and Midwest , up into the areas of Minnesota and stretching out west into the Rocky Mountains . At the same time , they occupied the heart of prime buffalo range , and also an excellent region for furs they could sell to French and American traders for goods such as guns . The Sioux ( Dakota ) became the most powerful of the Plains tribes and the greatest threat to American expansion . The Sioux comprise three major divisions based on Siouan dialect and subculture : Isáŋyathi or Isáŋathi ( `` Knife '' ) : residing in the extreme east of the Dakotas , Minnesota and northern Iowa , and are often referred to as the Santee or Eastern Dakota . Iháŋktȟuŋwaŋ and Iháŋktȟuŋwaŋna ( `` Village - at - the - end '' and `` little village - at - the - end '' ) : residing in the Minnesota River area , they are considered the middle Sioux , and are often referred to as the Yankton and the Yanktonai , or , collectively , as the Wičhíyena ( endonym ) or the Western Dakota ( and have been erroneously classified as Nakota ) . Thítȟuŋwaŋ or Teton ( uncertain ) : the westernmost Sioux , known for their hunting and warrior culture , are often referred to as the Lakota . Today , the Sioux maintain many separate tribal governments scattered across several reservations , communities , and reserves in the Dakotas , Nebraska , Minnesota , and Montana in the United States , as well as Manitoba and southern Saskatchewan in Canada . European exploration and early settlement ( edit ) New France ( edit ) Main article : New France European settlement of the area began in the 17th century following French exploration of the region and became known as New France . The French period began with the exploration of the Saint Lawrence River by Jacques Cartier in 1534 and ending with their expulsion by the British , who split New France with Spain in 1763 . Marquette and Jolliet ( edit ) Main articles : Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet c. 1681 map of Marquette and Jolliet 's 1673 expedition In 1673 , the governor of New France sent Jacques Marquette , a Catholic priest and missionary , and Louis Jolliet , a fur trader to map the way to the Northwest Passage to the Pacific . They traveled through Michigan 's upper peninsula to the northern tip of Lake Michigan . On canoes , they crossed the massive lake and landed at present - day Green Bay , Wisconsin . They entered the Mississippi River on June 17 , 1673 . Marquette and Jolliet soon realized that the Mississippi could not possibly be the Northwest Passage because it flowed south . Nevertheless , the journey continued . They recorded much of the wildlife they encountered . They turned around at the junction of the Mississippi River and Arkansas River and headed back . Marquette and Jolliet were the first to map the northern portion of the Mississippi River . They confirmed that it was easy to travel from the St. Lawrence River through the Great Lakes all the way to the Gulf of Mexico by water , that the native peoples who lived along the route were generally friendly , and that the natural resources of the lands in between were extraordinary . New France officials led by LaSalle followed up and erected a 4,000 - mile network of fur trading posts . American settlement ( edit ) Main article : American frontier § New Nation At the end of the American Revolution , there were few , if any , American settlers in the Midwest . However , the U.S. gained possession of the entire Midwest east of the Mississippi , and pioneers headed to Ohio , where large tracts had been awarded to war veterans . Beaver hunting grounds , the basis of the fur trade While French control ended in 1763 after their defeat by Britain , most of the several hundred French settlers in small villages along the Mississippi River and its tributaries remained and were not disturbed by the new British government . By the terms of the Treaty of Paris , Spain was given Louisiana ; the area west of the Mississippi . St. Louis and Ste . Genevieve in Missouri were the main towns , but there was little new settlement . France regained Louisiana from Spain in exchange for Tuscany by the terms of the Treaty of San Ildefonso in 1800 . Napoleon had lost interest in reestablishing a French colonial empire in North America following the Haitian Revolution and together with the fact that France could not effectively defend Louisiana from Great Britain , he sold the territory to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 . Meanwhile , the British maintained forts and trading posts in U.S. territory , not giving them up until the mid-1790s by the Jay Treaty . American settlement began either via routes over the Appalachian Mountains or through the waterways of the Great Lakes . Fort Pitt ( now Pittsburgh ) at the source of the Ohio River became the main base for settlers moving into the Midwest . Marietta , Ohio in 1787 became the first settlement in Ohio , but not until the defeat of Indian tribes at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794 was large - scale settlement possible . Large numbers also came north from Kentucky into southern Ohio , Indiana and Illinois . The region 's fertile soil produced corn and vegetables ; most farmers were self - sufficient . They cut trees and claimed the land , then sold it to newcomers and then moved further west to repeat the process . Lewis and Clark ( edit ) Main article : Lewis and Clark Expedition In 1803 , President Thomas Jefferson commissioned the Lewis and Clark expedition that took place between May 1804 and September 1806 . The goal was to explore the Louisiana Purchase , and establish trade and U.S. sovereignty over the native peoples along the Missouri River . The Lewis and Clark Expedition established relations with more than two dozen indigenous nations west of the Missouri River . The Expedition returned east to St. Louis in the spring of 1806 . Indian wars ( edit ) In 1791 , General Arthur St. Clair became commander of the United States Army and led a punitive expedition with two Regular Army regiments and some militia . Near modern - day Fort Recovery , his force advanced to the location of Indian settlements near the headwaters of the Wabash River , but on November 4 they were routed in battle by a tribal confederation led by Miami Chief Little Turtle and Shawnee chief Blue Jacket . More than 600 soldiers and scores of women and children were killed in the battle , which has since borne the name `` St. Clair 's Defeat . '' It remains the greatest defeat of a U.S. Army by Native Americans . The British had a long - standing goal of building a `` neutral '' , but pro-British Indian buffer state in the American Midwest . They demanded a neutral Indian state at the peace conference that ended the War of 1812 , but failed to gain any of it because they had lost control of the region in the Battle of Lake Erie and the Battle of the Thames in 1813 , where Tecumseh was killed . The British then abandoned the Indians south of the lakes . The Indians were major losers in the War of 1812 . Apart from the short Black Hawk War of 1832 , the days of Indian warfare east of the Mississippi River had ended . Yankees and Ethnocultural politics ( edit ) Ohio River near Rome , Ohio Yankee settlers from New England started arriving in Ohio before 1800 , and spread throughout the northern half of the Midwest . Most of them started as farmers , but later the larger proportion moved to towns and cities as entrepreneurs , businessmen , and urban professionals . Since its beginnings in the 1830s , Chicago has grown to dominate the Midwestern metropolis landscape for over a century . Historian John Bunker has examined the worldview of the Yankee settlers in the Midwest : Because they arrived first and had a strong sense of community and mission , Yankees were able to transplant New England institutions , values , and mores , altered only by the conditions of frontier life . They established a public culture that emphasized the work ethic , the sanctity of private property , individual responsibility , faith in residential and social mobility , practicality , piety , public order and decorum , reverence for public education , activists , honest , and frugal government , town meeting democracy , and he believed that there was a public interest that transcends particular and stick ambitions . Regarding themselves as the elect and just in a world rife with sin , air , and corruption , they felt a strong moral obligation to define and enforce standards of community and personal behavior ... This pietistic worldview was substantially shared by British , Scandinavian , Swiss , English - Canadian and Dutch Reformed immigrants , as well as by German Protestants and many of the Forty - Eighters . Midwestern politics pitted Yankees against the German Catholics and Lutherans , who were often led by the Irish Catholics . These large groups , Buenker argues : Generally subscribed to the work ethic , a strong sense of community , and activist government , but were less committed to economic individualism and privatism and ferociously opposed to government supervision of the personal habits . Southern and eastern European immigrants generally leaned more toward the Germanic view of things , while modernization , industrialization , and urbanization modified nearly everyone 's sense of individual economic responsibility and put a premium on organization , political involvement , and education . Development of transportation ( edit ) Waterways ( edit ) Lake Michigan is shared by four Midwestern states : Michigan , Indiana , Illinois , and Wisconsin . Three waterways have been important to the development of the Midwest . The first and foremost was the Ohio River , which flowed into the Mississippi River . Development of the region was halted until 1795 due to Spain 's control of the southern part of the Mississippi and its refusal to allow the shipment of American crops down the river and into the Atlantic Ocean . The second waterway is the network of routes within the Great Lakes . The opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 completed an all - water shipping route , more direct than the Mississippi , to New York and the seaport of New York City . In 1848 , The Illinois and Michigan Canal breached the continental divide spanning the Chicago Portage and linking the waters of the Great Lakes with those of the Mississippi Valley and the Gulf of Mexico . Lakeport and river cities grew up to handle these new shipping routes . During the Industrial Revolution , the lakes became a conduit for iron ore from the Mesabi Range of Minnesota to steel mills in the Mid-Atlantic States . The Saint Lawrence Seaway ( 1862 , widened 1959 ) opened the Midwest to the Atlantic Ocean . The third waterway , the Missouri River , extended water travel from the Mississippi almost to the Rocky Mountains . The Upper Mississippi River near Harpers Ferry , Iowa In the 1870s and 1880s , the Mississippi River inspired two classic books -- Life on the Mississippi and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn -- written by native Missourian Samuel Clemens , who used the pseudonym Mark Twain . His stories became staples of Midwestern lore . Twain 's hometown of Hannibal , Missouri is a tourist attraction offering a glimpse into the Midwest of his time . Inland canals in Ohio and Indiana constituted another important waterway , which connected with Great Lakes and Ohio River traffic . The commodities that the Midwest funneled into the Erie Canal down the Ohio River contributed to the wealth of New York City , which overtook Boston and Philadelphia . Railroads and the automobile ( edit ) During the mid-19th century , the region got its first railroads , and the railroad junction in Chicago became the world 's largest . During the century , Chicago became the nation 's railroad center . By 1910 , over 20 railroads operated passenger service out of six different downtown terminals . Even today , a century after Henry Ford , six Class I railroads meet in Chicago . In the period from 1890 to 1930 , many Midwestern cities were connected by electric interurban railroads , similar to streetcars . The Midwest had more interurbans than any other region . In 1916 , Ohio led all states with 2,798 miles ( 4,503 km ) , Indiana followed with 1,825 miles ( 2,937 km ) . These two states alone had almost a third of the country 's interurban trackage . The nation 's largest interurban junction was in Indianapolis . During the 1900s ( decade ) , the city 's 38 percent growth in population was attributed largely to the interurban . Competition with automobiles and buses undermined the interurban and other railroad passenger business . By 1900 , Detroit was the world center of the auto industry , and soon practically every city within 200 miles was producing auto parts that fed into its giant factories . In 1903 , Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company . Ford 's manufacturing -- and those of automotive pioneers William C. Durant , the Dodge brothers , Packard , and Walter Chrysler -- established Detroit 's status in the early 20th century as the world 's automotive capital . The proliferation of businesses created a synergy that also encouraged truck manufacturers such as Rapid and Grabowsky . The growth of the auto industry was reflected by changes in businesses throughout the Midwest and nation , with the development of garages to service vehicles and gas stations , as well as factories for parts and tires . Today , greater Detroit remains home to General Motors , Chrysler , and the Ford Motor Company . American Civil War ( edit ) Main article : American Civil War Slavery prohibition and the Underground Railroad ( edit ) A map of various Underground Railroad routes The Northwest Ordinance region , comprising the heart of the Midwest , was the first large region of the United States that prohibited slavery ( the Northeastern United States emancipated slaves in the 1830s ) . The regional southern boundary was the Ohio River , the border of freedom and slavery in American history and literature ( see Uncle Tom 's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe and Beloved by Toni Morrison ) . The Midwest , particularly Ohio , provided the primary routes for the Underground Railroad , whereby Midwesterners assisted slaves to freedom from their crossing of the Ohio River through their departure on Lake Erie to Canada . Created in the early 19th century , the Underground Railroad was at its height between 1850 and 1860 . One estimate suggests that by 1850 , 100,000 slaves had escaped via the Underground Railroad . The Underground Railroad consisted of meeting points , secret routes , transportation , and safe houses and assistance provided by abolitionist sympathizers . Individuals were often organized in small , independent groups ; this helped to maintain secrecy because individuals knew some connecting `` stations '' along the route , but knew few details of their immediate area . Escaped slaves would move north along the route from one way station to the next . Although the fugitives sometimes traveled on boat or train , they usually traveled on foot or by wagon . The region was shaped by the relative absence of slavery ( except for Missouri ) , pioneer settlement , education in one - room free public schools , democratic notions brought by American Revolutionary War veterans , Protestant faiths and experimentation , and agricultural wealth transported on the Ohio River riverboats , flatboats , canal boats , and railroads . Bleeding Kansas ( edit ) Main article : Bleeding Kansas The first violent conflicts leading up to the Civil War occurred between two neighboring Midwestern states , Kansas and Missouri , involving anti-slavery Free - Staters and pro-slavery `` Border Ruffian '' elements , that took place in the Kansas Territory and the western frontier towns of Missouri roughly between 1854 and 1858 . At the heart of the conflict was the question of whether Kansas would enter the Union as a free state or slave state . As such , Bleeding Kansas was a proxy war between Northerners and Southerners over the issue of slavery . The term `` Bleeding Kansas '' was coined by Horace Greeley of the New York Tribune ; the events it encompasses directly presaged the Civil War . 1855 Free - State poster Setting in motion the events later known as `` Bleeding Kansas '' was the Kansas - Nebraska Act . The Act created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska , opened new lands that would help settlement in them , repealed the Missouri Compromise , and allowed settlers in those territories to determine through popular sovereignty whether to allow slavery within their boundaries . It was hoped the Act would ease relations between the North and the South , because the South could expand slavery to new territories , but the North still had the right to abolish slavery in its states . Instead , opponents denounced the law as a concession to the slave power of the South . The new Republican Party , born in the Midwest ( Ripon , Wisconsin , 1854 ) and created in opposition to the Act , aimed to stop the expansion of slavery and soon emerged as the dominant force throughout the North . An ostensibly democratic idea , popular sovereignty stated that the inhabitants of each territory or state should decide whether it would be a free or slave state ; however , this resulted in immigration en masse to Kansas by activists from both sides . At one point , Kansas had two separate governments , each with its own constitution , although only one was federally recognized . On January 29 , 1861 , Kansas was admitted to the Union as a free state , less than three months before the Battle of Fort Sumter officially began the Civil War . The calm in Kansas was shattered in May 1856 by two events that are often regarded as the opening shots of the Civil War . On May 21 , the Free Soil town of Lawrence , Kansas was sacked by an armed pro ‐ slavery force from Missouri . A few days later , the Sacking of Lawrence led abolitionist John Brown and six of his followers to execute five men along the Pottawatomie Creek in Franklin County , Kansas , in retaliation . The so - called `` Border War '' lasted for another four months , from May through October , between armed bands of pro ‐ slavery and Free Soil men . The U.S. Army had two garrisons in Kansas , the First Cavalry Regiment at Fort Leavenworth and the Second Dragoons and Sixth Infantry at Fort Riley . The skirmishes endured until a new governor , John W. Geary , managed to prevail upon the Missourians to return home in late 1856 . A fragile peace followed , but violent outbreaks continued intermittently for several more years . National reaction to the events in Kansas demonstrated how deeply divided the country had become . The Border Ruffians were widely applauded in the South , even though their actions had cost the lives of numerous people . In the North , the murders committed by Brown and his followers were ignored by most and lauded by a few . The civil conflict in Kansas was a product of the political fight over slavery . Federal troops were not used to decide a political question , but they were used by successive territorial governors to pacify the territory so that the political question of slavery in Kansas could finally be decided by peaceful , legal , and political means . An animation depicting when United States territories and states forbade or allowed slavery , 1789 -- 1861 The election of Abraham Lincoln in November 1860 was the final trigger for secession by the Southern states . 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 U.S. federal government was supported by 20 mostly - Northern free states in which slavery already had been abolished , and by five slave states that became known as the border states . All of the Midwestern states but one , Missouri , banned slavery . Though most battles were fought in the South , skirmishes between Kansas and Missouri continued until culmination with the Lawrence Massacre on August 21 , 1863 . Also known as Quantrill 's Raid , the massacre was a rebel guerrilla attack by Quantrill 's Raiders , led by William Clarke Quantrill , on pro-Union Lawrence , Kansas . Quantrill 's band of 448 Missouri guerrillas raided and plundered Lawrence , killing more than 150 and burning all the business buildings and most of the dwellings . Pursued by federal troops , the band escaped to Missouri . Lawrence was targeted due to the town 's long support of abolition and its reputation as a center for Redlegs and Jayhawkers , which were free - state militia and vigilante groups known for attacking and families in Missouri 's pro-slavery western counties . Immigration and industrialization ( edit ) Main articles : Immigrants to the United States and Industrialization The Gateway Arch in St. Louis on the Mississippi River Omaha , Nebraska is on the Missouri River By the time of the American Civil War , European immigrants bypassed the East Coast of the United States to settle directly in the interior : German immigrants to Ohio , Wisconsin , Minnesota , Michigan , Illinois , Kansas , and Missouri ; Irish immigrants to port cities on the Great Lakes , especially Chicago ; Danes , Czechs , Swedes , and Norwegians to Iowa , Nebraska , Wisconsin , Minnesota , and the Dakotas ; and Finns to Upper Michigan and northern / central Minnesota . Poles , Hungarians , and Jews settled in Midwestern cities . The U.S. was predominantly rural at the time of the Civil War . The Midwest was no exception , dotted with small farms all across the region . The late 19th century saw industrialization , immigration , and urbanization that fed the Industrial Revolution , and the heart of industrial domination and innovation was in the Great Lakes states of the Midwest , which only began its slow decline by the late 20th century . A flourishing economy brought residents from rural communities and immigrants from abroad . Manufacturing and retail and finance sectors became dominant , influencing the American economy . In addition to manufacturing , printing , publishing , and food processing also play major roles in the Midwest 's largest economy . Chicago was the base of commercial operations for industrialists John Crerar , John Whitfield Bunn , Richard Teller Crane , Marshall Field , John Farwell , Julius Rosenwald and many other commercial visionaries who laid the foundation for Midwestern and global industry . In the 20th century , African American migration from the Southern United States into the Midwestern states changed Chicago , St. Louis , Cleveland , Milwaukee , Kansas City , Cincinnati , Detroit , Omaha , Minneapolis and many other cities in the Midwest , as factories and schools enticed families by the thousands to new opportunities . Chicago alone gained hundreds of thousands of black citizens from the Great Migration and the Second Great Migration . The Gateway Arch monument in St. Louis , clad in stainless steel and built in the form of a flattened catenary arch , is the tallest man - made monument in the United States , and the world 's tallest arch . Built as a monument to the westward expansion of the United States , it is the centerpiece of the Gateway Arch National Park , which was known as the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial until 2018 , and has become an internationally famous symbol of St. Louis and the Midwest .

The largest flow of German immigration to America occurred between 1820 and World War I , during which time nearly six million Germans immigrated to the United States . From 1840 to 1880 , they were the largest group of immigrants . The Midwestern cities of Milwaukee , Cincinnati , St. Louis , and Chicago were favored destinations of German immigrants . By 1900 , the populations of the cities of Cleveland , Milwaukee , Hoboken , and Cincinnati were all more than 40 percent German American . Dubuque and Davenport , Iowa , had even larger proportions ; in Omaha , Nebraska , the proportion of German Americans was 57 percent in 1910 . In many other cities of the Midwest , such as Fort Wayne , Indiana , German Americans were at least 30 percent of the population . Many concentrations acquired distinctive names suggesting their heritage , such as the `` Over-the - Rhine '' district in Cincinnati and `` German Village '' in Columbus , Ohio . A favorite destination was Milwaukee , known as `` the German Athens '' . Radical Germans trained in politics in the old country dominated the city 's Socialists . Skilled workers dominated many crafts , while entrepreneurs created the brewing industry ; the most famous brands included Pabst , Schlitz , Miller , and Blatz . While half of German immigrants settled in cities , the other half established farms in the Midwest . From Ohio to the Plains states , a heavy presence persists in rural areas into the 21st century . Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries , German Americans showed a high interest in becoming farmers , and keeping their children and grandchildren on the land . Western railroads , with large land grants available to attract farmers , set up agencies in Hamburg and other German cities , promising cheap transportation , and sales of farmland on easy terms . For example , the Santa Fe Railroad hired its own commissioner for immigration , and sold over 300,000 acres ( 1,200 km ) to German - speaking farmers . History of the term Midwest ( edit ) Scotts Bluff National Monument in western Nebraska The term West was applied to the region in the early years of the country . In 1789 , the Northwest Ordinance was enacted , creating the Northwest Territory , which was bounded by the Great Lakes and the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers . Because the Northwest Territory lay between the East Coast and the then - far - West , the states carved out of it were called the Northwest . In the early 19th century , anything west of the Mississippi River was considered the West . The first recorded use of the term Midwestern to refer to a region of the central U.S. occurred in 1886 , Midwest appeared in 1894 , and Midwesterner in 1916 . Following the settlement of the western prairie , some considered the row of states from North Dakota to Kansas to be part of the Midwest . The states of the `` old Northwest '' are now called the `` East North Central States '' by the United States Census Bureau and the `` Great Lakes region '' is also a popular term . The states just west of the Mississippi River and the Great Plains states are called the `` West North Central States '' by the Census Bureau . Some entities in the Midwest are still referred to as `` Northwest '' due to historical reasons ( for example , Northwestern University in Illinois ) . Economy ( edit ) Farming and agriculture ( edit ) A pastoral farm scene near Traverse City , Michigan , with a classic American red barn Central Iowa cornfield in June Standing wheat in Kansas , part of America 's Breadbasket Soybean fields at Applethorpe Farm , north of Hallsville in Ross County , Ohio Further information : Corn Belt and Wheat production in the United States Agriculture is one of the biggest drivers of local economies in the Midwest , accounting for billions of dollars worth of exports and thousands of jobs . The area consists of some of the richest farming land in the world . The region 's fertile soil combined with the steel plow has made it possible for farmers to produce abundant harvests of grain and cereal crops , including corn , wheat , soybeans , oats , and barley , to become known today as the nation 's `` breadbasket . '' Farms spread from the colonies westward along with the settlers . In cooler regions , wheat was often the crop of choice when lands were newly settled , leading to a `` wheat frontier '' that moved westward over the course of years . Also very common in the antebellum Midwest was farming corn while raising hogs , complementing each other especially since it was difficult to get grain to market before the canals and railroads . After the `` wheat frontier '' had passed through an area , more diversified farms including dairy and beef cattle generally took its place . The very dense soil of the Midwest plagued the first settlers who were using wooden plows , which were more suitable for loose forest soil . On the prairie , the plows bounced around and the soil stuck to them . This problem was solved in 1837 by an Illinois blacksmith named John Deere who developed a steel moldboard plow that was stronger and cut the roots , making the fertile soils of the prairie ready for farming . The tallgrass prairie has been converted into one of the most intensive crop producing areas in North America . Less than one tenth of one percent ( < 0.09 % ) of the original landcover of the tallgrass prairie biome remains . States formerly with landcover in native tallgrass prairie such as Iowa , Illinois , Minnesota , Wisconsin , Nebraska , and Missouri have become valued for their highly productive soils and are included in the Corn Belt . As an example of this land use intensity , Illinois and Iowa rank 49th and 50th out of 50 states in total uncultivated land remaining . The introduction and broad adoption of scientific agriculture since the mid-19th century contributed to economic growth in the United States . This development was facilitated by the Morrill Act and the Hatch Act of 1887 which established in each state a land - grant university ( with a mission to teach and study agriculture ) and a federally funded system of agricultural experiment stations and cooperative extension networks which place extension agents in each state . Iowa State University became the nation 's first designated land - grant institution when the Iowa Legislature accepted the provisions of the 1862 Morrill Act on September 11 , 1862 , making Iowa the first state in the nation to do so . The Corn Belt is a region of the Midwest where corn has , since the 1850s , been the predominant crop , replacing the native tall grasses . The `` Corn Belt '' region is defined typically to include Iowa , Illinois , Indiana , southern Michigan , western Ohio , eastern Nebraska , eastern Kansas , southern Minnesota , and parts of Missouri . As of 2008 , the top four corn - producing states were Iowa , Illinois , Nebraska , and Minnesota , together accounting for more than half of the corn grown in the United States . The Corn Belt also sometimes is defined to include parts of South Dakota , North Dakota , Wisconsin , and Kentucky . The region is characterized by relatively level land and deep , fertile soils , high in organic matter . Former Vice President Henry A. Wallace , a pioneer of hybrid seeds , declared in 1956 that the Corn Belt developed the `` most productive agricultural civilization the world has ever seen '' . Today , the U.S. produces 40 percent of the world crop . Iowa produces the largest corn crop of any state . In 2012 , Iowa farmers produced 18.3 percent of the nation 's corn , while Illinois produced 15.3 percent . In 2011 , there were 13.7 million harvested acres of corn for grain , producing 2.36 billion bushels , which yielded 172.0 bu / acre , with US $14.5 billion of corn value of production . Soybeans were not widely cultivated in the United States until the early 1930s , and by 1942 , it became the world 's largest soybean producer , due in part to World War II and the `` need for domestic sources of fats , oils , and meal '' . Between 1930 and 1942 , the United States ' share of world soybean production skyrocketed from three percent to 46.5 percent , largely due to the Midwest , and by 1969 , it had risen to 76 percent . Iowa and Illinois rank first and second in the nation in soybean production . In 2012 , Iowa produced 14.5 percent , and Illinois produced 13.3 percent of the nation 's soybeans . Wheat is produced throughout the Midwest and is the principal cereal grain in the country . The U.S. is ranked third in production volume of wheat , with almost 58 million tons produced in the 2012 -- 2013 growing season , behind only China and India ( the combined production of all European Union nations is larger than China ) The U.S. ranks first in crop export volume ; almost 50 percent of total wheat produced is exported . The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines eight official classes of wheat : durum wheat , hard red spring wheat , hard red winter wheat , soft red winter wheat , hard white wheat , soft white wheat , unclassed wheat , and mixed wheat . Winter wheat accounts for 70 to 80 percent of total production in the U.S. , with the largest amounts produced in Kansas ( 10.8 million tons ) and North Dakota ( 9.8 million tons ) . Of the total wheat produced in the country , 50 percent is exported , valued at US $9 billion . Midwestern states also lead the nation in other agricultural commodities , including pork ( Iowa ) , beef and veal ( Nebraska ) , dairy ( Wisconsin ) , and chicken eggs ( Iowa ) . Financial ( edit ) The Chicago Board of Trade Building Chicago is the economic and financial heartbeat of the Midwest and has the third largest gross metropolitan product in the United States -- approximately $532 billion according to 2010 estimates , after only the urban agglomerations of New York City and Los Angeles , in the first and second place , respectively . Chicago was named the fourth most important business center in the world in the MasterCard Worldwide Centers of Commerce Index . The 2017 Global Financial Centres Index ranked Chicago as the fifth most competitive city in the country and twenty - fourth in the world . The Chicago Board of Trade ( established 1848 ) listed the first ever standardized `` exchange traded '' forward contracts , which were called futures contracts . As a major world financial center , the city is home to the headquarters of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago ( the Seventh District of the Federal Reserve ) . The city is also home to major financial and futures exchanges , including the Chicago Stock Exchange , the Chicago Board Options Exchange ( CBOE ) , and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ( the `` Merc '' ) , which is owned , along with the Chicago Board of Trade ( CBOT ) by Chicago 's CME Group . The CME Group , in addition , owns the New York Mercantile Exchange ( NYMEX ) , the Commodities Exchange Inc . ( COMEX ) and the Dow Jones Indexes . Culture ( edit ) Religion ( edit ) Like the rest of the United States , the Midwest is predominantly Christian . The majority of Midwesterners are Protestants , with rates from 48 percent in Illinois to 63 percent in Iowa . However , the Roman Catholic Church is the largest single denomination , varying between 18 percent and 34 percent of the state populations . Lutherans are prevalent in the Upper Midwest , especially in Minnesota and the Dakotas with their large Scandinavian and German populations . Southern Baptists compose about 15 percent of Missouri 's population , but much smaller percentages in other Midwestern states . Judaism and Islam are collectively practiced by 2 percent of the population , with higher concentrations in major urban areas . 35 percent of Midwesterners attend religious services every week and 69 percent attend at least a few times a year . People with no religious affiliation make up 22 percent of the Midwest 's population . Education ( edit ) Many Midwestern universities , both public and private , are members of the Association of American Universities ( AAU ) , an international organization of leading public and private research universities devoted to maintaining a strong system of academic research and education . Of the 62 members from the U.S. and Canada , 16 are located in the Midwest including private schools Case Western Reserve University , Northwestern University , the University of Chicago , and Washington University in St. Louis . Member public institutions of the AAU include the University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign , Indiana University Bloomington , the University of Iowa , Iowa State University , the University of Kansas , the University of Michigan , Michigan State University , the University of Minnesota , the University of Missouri , the Ohio State University , Purdue University , and the University of Wisconsin -- Madison . Other notable major research - intensive public universities include the University of Cincinnati , Kansas State University , and the University of Nebraska -- Lincoln . Numerous state university systems have established regional campuses statewide . The numerous state teachers colleges were upgraded into state universities after 1945 . Other notable private institutions include the University of Notre Dame , John Carroll University , Saint Louis University , Loyola University Chicago , DePaul University , Creighton University , Drake University , Marquette University , and Xavier University . Local boosters , usually with a church affiliation , created numerous colleges in the mid-19th century . In terms of national rankings , the most prominent today include Carleton College , Denison University , DePauw University , Earlham College , Grinnell College , Hamline University , Kalamazoo College , Kenyon College , Knox College , Macalester College , Lawrence University , Oberlin College , St. Olaf College , Wheaton College , and The College of Wooster . Music ( edit ) The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland , Ohio The heavy German immigration played a major role in establishing musical traditions , especially choral and orchestral music . Czech and German traditions combined to sponsor the polka . The African American migration from the South brought jazz to the Midwest , along with blues , and rock and roll , with major contributions to jazz , funk , and R&B , and even new subgenres such as the Motown Sound and techno from Detroit or house music from Chicago . In the 1920s , South Side Chicago was the base for Jelly Roll Morton ( 1890 -- 1941 ) . Kansas City developed its own jazz style . The electrified Chicago blues sound exemplifies the genre , as popularized by record labels Chess and Alligator and portrayed in such films as The Blues Brothers , Godfathers and Sons , and Adventures in Babysitting . Rock and roll music was first identified as a new genre in 1951 by Cleveland , Ohio , disc jockey Alan Freed who began playing this music style while popularizing the term `` rock and roll '' to describe it . By the mid-1950s , rock and roll emerged as a defined musical style in the United States , deriving most directly from the rhythm and blues music of the 1940s , which itself developed from earlier blues , boogie woogie , jazz , and swing music , and was also influenced by gospel , country and western , and traditional folk music . Freed 's contribution in identifying rock as a new genre helped establish the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , located in Cleveland . Chuck Berry , a Midwesterner from St. Louis , was among the first successful rock and roll artists and influenced many other rock musicians . Notable soul and R&B musicians associated with Motown that had their origins in the area include Aretha Franklin , The Supremes , Mary Wells , Four Tops , The Jackson 5 , Smokey Robinson & the Miracles , Stevie Wonder , The Marvelettes , The Temptations , and Martha and the Vandellas . These artists achieved their greatest success in the 1960s and 1970s . Michael Jackson , from the Jackson 5 , went on to have an extremely successful solo career from the 1970s through the 2000s . Known as the `` King of Pop '' , he went on to become one of the bestselling solo artists of all time and the most - awarded artist of all time . His sister , Janet Jackson , also had an extremely successful solo career in the 1980s , 1990s , and 2000s . In the 1970s and 1980s , native Midwestern musicians such as John Mellencamp and Bob Seger found great success with a style of rock music that came to be known as heartland rock , which were characterized by lyrical themes that focused on and appealed to the Midwestern working class . Other successful Midwestern rock artists emerged during this time , including REO Speedwagon , Styx , and Kansas . In the 1990s , the Chicago - based band The Smashing Pumpkins emerged and went on to become one of the most successful alternative rock artists of the decade . Also in the 1990s , the Midwest was at the center of the emerging Midwest emo movement , with bands like The Get Up Kids ( Missouri ) , Cursive ( Nebraska ) and Cap'n Jazz ( Illinois ) blending earlier hardcore punk sounds with a more melodic indie rock sentiment . This hybrid of styles came to be known as Midwest emo . Chicago - based artists Fall Out Boy and Plain White T 's popularized the genre in the early part of the 21st century . In the late 1990s , Eminem and Kid Rock emerged from the Detroit area . Eminem went on to become one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed rappers of all time . Meanwhile , Kid Rock successfully mixed elements of rap , hard rock , heavy metal , country rock , and pop in forming his own unique sound . Both artists are known for celebrating their Detroit roots . House Music and Techno both had their roots in Chicago and Detroit respectively in the mid to late 1980s . House music producers such as Frankie Knuckles and Marshall Jefferson recorded early house music records at Chicago 's Trax Records while in Detroit , techno pioneers Juan Atkins , Derrick May , and Kevin Saunderson created a sound that , while ignored mostly in America , became quite popular in Europe . Numerous classical composers live and have lived in midwestern states , including Easley Blackwood , Kenneth Gaburo , Salvatore Martirano , and Ralph Shapey ( Illinois ) ; Glenn Miller and Meredith Willson ( Iowa ) ; Leslie Bassett , William Bolcom , Michael Daugherty , and David Gillingham ( Michigan ) ; Donald Erb ( Ohio ) ; Dominick Argento and Stephen Paulus ( Minnesota ) . Also notable is Peter Schickele , born in Iowa and partially raised in North Dakota , best known for his classical music parodies attributed to his alter ego of P.D.Q. Bach . Sports ( edit ) Professional sports leagues such as the National Football League ( NFL ) , Major League Baseball ( MLB ) , National Basketball Association ( NBA ) , National Hockey League ( NHL ) and Major League Soccer ( MLS ) have team franchises in several Midwestern cities : Chicago : Bears ( NFL ) , Cubs , White Sox ( MLB ) , Bulls ( NBA ) , Blackhawks ( NHL ) , Fire SC ( MLS ) Cincinnati : Bengals ( NFL ) , Reds ( MLB ) Cleveland : Browns ( NFL ) , Indians ( MLB ) , Cavaliers ( NBA ) Columbus : Blue Jackets ( NHL ) , Crew SC ( MLS ) Detroit : Lions ( NFL ) , Tigers ( MLB ) , Pistons ( NBA ) , Red Wings ( NHL ) Green Bay : Packers ( NFL ) Indianapolis : Colts ( NFL ) , Pacers ( NBA ) Kansas City : Chiefs ( NFL ) , Royals ( MLB ) , Sporting ( MLS ) Milwaukee : Brewers ( MLB ) , Bucks ( NBA ) Minneapolis -- Saint Paul : Vikings ( NFL ) , Twins ( MLB ) , Timberwolves ( NBA ) , Wild ( NHL ) , United FC ( MLS ) St. Louis : Cardinals ( MLB ) , Blues ( NHL ) Successful teams include the St. Louis Cardinals ( 11 World Series titles ) , Cincinnati Reds ( 5 World Series titles ) , Chicago Bulls ( 6 NBA titles ) , the Detroit Pistons ( 3 NBA titles ) , the Green Bay Packers ( 4 Super Bowl titles , 13 total NFL championships ) , the Detroit Red Wings ( 11 Stanley Cup titles ) , and the Chicago Blackhawks ( 6 Stanley Cup titles ) . In NCAA college sports , the Big Ten Conference and the Big 12 Conference feature the largest concentration of top Midwestern Division I football and men 's and women 's basketball teams in the region , including the Illinois Fighting Illini , Indiana Hoosiers , Iowa Hawkeyes , Iowa State Cyclones , Kansas Jayhawks , Kansas State Wildcats , Michigan Wolverines , Michigan State Spartans , Minnesota Golden Gophers , Nebraska Cornhuskers , Northwestern Wildcats , Ohio State Buckeyes , Purdue Boilermakers , and the Wisconsin Badgers . Other notable Midwestern college sports teams include the Butler Bulldogs , Cincinnati Bearcats , Creighton Bluejays , Dayton Flyers , Indiana State Sycamores , Marquette Golden Eagles , Milwaukee Panthers , Missouri Tigers , Missouri State Bears , Northern Illinois Huskies , Notre Dame Fighting Irish , Western Michigan Broncos , Wichita State Shockers , and Xavier Musketeers . Of this second group of schools , Butler , Dayton , Indiana State and Missouri State do not play top - level college football ( all playing in the second - tier Division I FCS ) , and Creighton , Marquette , Milwaukee , Wichita State and Xavier do not sponsor football at all . The Milwaukee Mile hosted its first motor race in 1903 , and is one of the oldest tracks in the world . The Indianapolis Motor Speedway , opened in 1909 , is a prestigious auto racing track which annually hosts the Indianapolis 500 , the Brickyard 400 , and the Indianapolis Motorcycle Grand Prix . The Road America and Mid-Ohio road courses opened in the 1950s and 1960s respectively . Other motorsport venues in the Midwest are Indianapolis Raceway Park , Michigan International Speedway , Chicagoland Speedway , Kansas Speedway , Gateway International Raceway , and the Iowa Speedway . The Kentucky Speedway is just outside the officially defined Midwest , but is linked with the region because the track is located in the Cincinnati metropolitan area . Notable professional golf tournaments in the Midwest include the WGC - Bridgestone Invitational , Memorial Tournament , BMW Championship and John Deere Classic .

The Milwaukee Art Museum is located on Lake Michigan . Differences in the definition of the Midwest mainly split between the Great Plains region on one side , and the Great Lakes region on the other . While some point to the small towns and agricultural communities in Kansas , Iowa , the Dakotas , and Nebraska of the Great Plains as representative of traditional Midwestern lifestyles and values , others assert that the industrial cities of the Great Lakes -- with their histories of 19th - and early - 20th - century immigration , manufacturing base , and strong Catholic influence -- are more representative of the Midwestern experience . In South Dakota , for instance , West River ( the region west of the Missouri River ) shares cultural elements with the western United States , while East River has more in common with the rest of the Midwest . Two other regions , Appalachia and the Ozark Mountains , overlap geographically with the Midwest -- Appalachia in Southern Ohio and the Ozarks in Southern Missouri . The Ohio River has long been a boundary between North and South and between the Midwest and the Upper South . All of the lower Midwestern states , especially Missouri , have a major Southern component , and Missouri was a slave state before the Civil War . Western Pennsylvania , which contains the cities of Erie and Pittsburgh , plus the Western New York cities of Buffalo and possibly Rochester , share history with the Midwest , but overlap with Appalachia and the Northeast as well . Kentucky is rarely considered part of the Midwest , although it can be grouped with it in some contexts . It is categorized as Southern by the Census Bureau and is usually classified as such , especially from a cultural standpoint . In addition to intra-American regional overlaps , the Upper Peninsula of Michigan has historically had strong cultural ties to Canada , partly as a result of early settlement by French Canadians . Moreover , the Yooper accent shares some traits with Canadian English , further demonstrating transnational cultural connections . Similar but less pronounced mutual Canadian - American cultural influence occurs throughout the Great Lakes region .

( September 2008 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The accents of the region are generally distinct from those of the South and of the urban areas of the American Northeast . To a lesser degree , they are also distinct from the accent of the American West . The accent characteristic of most of the Midwest is considered by many to be that of `` standard '' American English or General American . This accent is preferred by many national radio and television broadcasters . This may have started because many prominent broadcast personalities -- such as Walter Cronkite , Harry Reasoner , Johnny Carson , David Letterman , Rush Limbaugh , Tom Brokaw , John Madden , and Casey Kasem -- came from this region and so created this perception . A November 1998 National Geographic article attributed the high number of telemarketing firms in Omaha to the `` neutral accents '' of the area 's inhabitants . Currently , many cities in the Great Lakes region are undergoing the Northern cities vowel shift away from the standard pronunciation of vowels . The dialect of Minnesota , western Wisconsin , much of North Dakota and Michigan 's Upper Peninsula is referred to as the Upper Midwestern Dialect ( or `` Minnesotan '' ) , and has Scandinavian and Canadian influences . Missouri has elements of three dialects , specifically : Northern Midland , in the extreme northern part of the state , with a distinctive variation in St. Louis and the surrounding area ; Southern Midland , in the majority of the state ; and Southern , in the southwestern and southeastern parts of the state , with a bulge extending north in the central part , to include approximately the southern one - third .

In 1860 -- 1920 , both parties often selected either their president or vice president from the region . The first local meeting of the new Republican Party took place here in Ripon , Wisconsin on March 20 , 1854 . One of the two major political parties in the United States , the Republican Party , originated in the Midwest in the 1850s ; Ripon , Wisconsin had the first local meeting while Jackson , Michigan had the state county meeting of the new party . Its membership included many Yankees who had settled the upper Midwest . The party opposed the expansion of slavery and stressed the Protestant ideals of thrift , a hard work ethic , self - reliance , democratic decision making , and religious tolerance . In the early 1890s the wheat - growing regions were strongholds of the short - lived Populist movement in the Plains states . Starting in the 1890s the middle class urban Progressive movement became influential in the region ( as it was in other regions ) , with Wisconsin a major center . Under the La Follettes Wisconsin fought against the GOP bosses and for efficiency , modernization , and the use of experts to solve social , economic , and political problems . Theodore Roosevelt 's 1912 Progressive Party had the best showing in this region ; carrying the states of Michigan , Minnesota , and South Dakota . In 1924 , La Follette , Sr. 's 1924 Progressive Party did well in the region , but only carried his home base of Wisconsin . The Midwest -- especially the areas west of Chicago -- has always been a stronghold of isolationism , a belief that America should not involve itself in foreign entanglements . This position was largely based on the many German American and Swedish - American communities . Isolationist leaders included the La Follettes , Ohio 's Robert A. Taft , and Colonel Robert McCormick , publisher of the Chicago Tribune . Recent trends ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification .

( December 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Midwestern legislatures 2015 Midwestern governors 2015 Party affiliation of United Senators from the Midwest as of 2013 As of 2016 , the Midwest is home to several critical swing states that do not have a strong allegiance to either the Democratic or Republican party including Iowa and Ohio . Upper Midwestern states of Illinois , Michigan , Minnesota and Wisconsin reliably voted Democratic in every presidential election from 1992 to 2012 . The Great Plains states of North Dakota , South Dakota , Nebraska , and Kansas have voted for the Republican candidate in every presidential election since 1940 , except for Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 . Indiana is usually considered a Republican stronghold , voting that party 's presidential candidate in every election since 1940 except for Johnson in 1964 and Barack Obama in 2008 . As a result of the 2016 elections , Republicans now control the governors ' office in all Midwestern states except Minnesota . Republicans also control every partisan state legislature in the Midwest except Illinois . The unicameral Nebraska Legislature is officially nonpartisan . The state government of Illinois is currently divided between Republican Governor Bruce Rauner and Democratic super majorities and in the State House and State Senate . The state currently has two Democratic senators , and an 11 -- 7 Democratic majority US House of Representatives delegation . Many analysts consider Iowa the most evenly divided state in the country , but it has leaned Democratic for at least the past fifteen years . Iowa had a Democratic governor from 1999 until Terry Branstad was re-elected in the mid-term elections in 2010 , and has had both one Democratic and one Republican senator since the early 1980s until the 2014 election when Republican Joni Ernst defeated Democrat Bruce Braley in a tightly contested race . As for Iowa 's House delegation , Republicans currently hold a 3 to 1 seat majority . Between 1992 and 2012 , Iowa also voted for the Democratic presidential candidate in all elections except 2004 , but in 2016 the state went to the Republicans by 10 percentage points . As a result of the 2016 elections , Republicans hold a majority in the Iowa House of Representatives and the Iowa Senate . Minnesota voters have not voted for a Republican candidate for president since 1972 , longer than any other state . Minnesota was the only U.S. state ( along with Washington , D.C. ) to vote for its native son Walter Mondale over Ronald Reagan in 1984 . However , the recent Democratic victories have often been fairly narrow , such as the 2016 Presidential Election . Minnesota also elected and re-elected a Republican governor ( Tim Pawlenty ) , as well as supported some of the strongest gun concealment laws in the nation . Republicans currently hold control of both houses of the Minnesota state legislature . Consistently , Ohio is a battleground state in presidential elections . No Republican has won the office without winning Ohio . This trend has contributed to Ohio 's reputation as a quintessential swing state . At the state level , however , Republicans are currently dominant . With the exception of one justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio , all political offices open to statewide election are held by Republicans . Republicans have a majority in the Ohio House of Representatives and a supermajority in the Ohio Senate . At the federal level , Ohio currently has one Democratic and one Republican U.S. Senator . As a result of the 2012 elections , 12 of Ohio 's 16 members of the U.S. House of Representatives are Republicans . The Great Plains states of North Dakota , South Dakota , Nebraska , and Kansas have been strongholds for the Republicans for many decades . These four states have gone for the Republican candidate in every presidential election since 1940 , except for Lyndon B. Johnson 's landslide over Barry Goldwater in 1964 . Although North Dakota and South Dakota have often elected Democrats to Congress , after the 2012 election both states ' congressional delegations are majority Republican . Nebraska has elected Democrats to the Senate and as Governor in recent years , but both of its Senators are Republican . Kansas has elected a majority of Democrats as governor since 1956 , but has not elected a Democratic Senator since 1932 . Both of Kansas 's U.S. Senators and all four of its U.S. House members are Republican . Missouri was historically considered a `` bellwether state '' , having voted for the winner in every presidential election since 1904 , with three exceptions : in 1956 for Democrat Adlai Stevenson II ; in 2008 for Republican John McCain ; and in 2012 for Republican Mitt Romney . Missouri 's House delegation has generally been evenly divided , with the Democrats holding sway in the large cities at the opposite ends of the state , Kansas City and St. Louis ( although the Kansas City suburbs are now trending Republican ) , and the Republicans controlling the rest of the state , save for a pocket of Democratic strength in Columbia , home to the University of Missouri . However , as a result of the 2012 elections , Republicans now have a 6 -- 2 majority in the state 's House delegation , with African - American Democrats representing the major cities . Missouri 's Senate seats were mostly controlled by Democrats until the latter part of the 20th century , but the Republicans have held one or both Senate seats continuously since 1976 . All Midwestern states use primary election to select delegates for both the Democratic and Republican national conventions , except for Iowa and Minnesota . The Iowa caucuses in early January of leap years are the first votes in the presidential nominating process for both major parties , and attract enormous media attention .

The California State Legislature is the state legislature of the U.S. state of California . It is a bicameral body consisting of the lower house , the California State Assembly , with 80 members , and the upper house , the California State Senate , with 40 members . New legislators convene each new two - year session , to organize , in the Assembly and Senate Chambers , respectively , at noon on the first Monday in December following the election . After the organizational meeting , both houses are in recess until the first Monday in January , except when the first Monday is January 1 or January 1 is a Sunday , in which case they meet the following Wednesday . Aside from the recess , the legislature is in session year - round . The Democratic Party currently holds a supermajority in one of the chambers of the California Legislature . The state senate currently consists of 27 Democrats and 13 Republicans , and the Assembly consists of 53 Democrats , one seat short of a supermajority , 25 Republicans and two vacancies . Except for the period from 1995 to 1996 , the Assembly has been in Democratic hands since the 1970 election ( even while the governor 's office has gone back and forth between Republicans and Democrats ) . The Senate has been in Democratic hands continuously since 1970 . Contents 1 State House 2 Terms and term limits 3 Recordkeeping 4 Legislative committees 5 Overview of legislative procedure 6 Sessions 7 See also 7.1 Districts , elections and members 8 Footnotes 9 References 10 External links State house ( edit ) Since California was given official statehood by the U.S. in September 9 , 1850 as part of the Compromise of 1850 , the state capital was variously San Jose ( 1850 -- 1851 ) , Vallejo ( 1852 -- 1853 ) and Benicia ( 1853 -- 1854 ) , until Sacramento was finally selected in 1854 . The first Californian State House was originally a hotel in San Jose owned by businessman Pierre `` Don Pedro '' Sainsevain and his associates . The State Legislature currently meets in the California State Capitol in Sacramento . Terms and term limits ( edit ) Members of the Assembly are elected from 80 districts and serve two - year terms . Members of the Senate are elected from 40 districts and serve four - year terms . Twenty Senate seats are up for election at each two - year election cycle . Term limits were initially established in 1990 following the passage of Proposition 140 . In June 2012 , voters approved Proposition 28 , which limits legislators to a maximum of 12 years , without regard to whether they serve those years in the State Assembly or the State Senate . Legislators first elected on or before June 5 , 2012 are restricted by the previous term limits , approved in 1990 , which limited legislators to three terms in the State Assembly and two terms in the State Senate . Recordkeeping ( edit ) The proceedings of the California State Legislature are briefly summarized in regularly published journals , which show votes and who proposed or withdrew what . Reports produced by California executive agencies , as well as the Legislature , were published in the Appendices to the Journals from 1849 to 1970 . Since the 1990s , the legislature has provided a live video feed for its sessions , and has been broadcast statewide on the California Channel and local Public - access television cable TV . Due to the expense and the obvious political downside , California did not keep verbatim records of actual speeches made by members of the Assembly and Senate until the video feed began . As a result , reconstructing legislative intent outside of an act 's preamble is extremely difficult in California for legislation passed before the 1990s . Since 1993 , the Legislature has hosted a web / ftp site in one form or another . The current Website contains the text of all statutes , all bills , the text of all versions of the bills , all the committee analyses of bills , all the votes on bills in committee or on the floor , and veto messages from the Governor . Before then , committees occasionally published reports for significant bills , but most bills were not important enough to justify the expense of printing and distributing a report to archives and law libraries across the state . For bills lacking such a formal committee report , the only way to discover legislative intent is to access the state archives in Sacramento and manually review the files of relevant legislators , legislative committees , and the Governor 's Office from the relevant time period , in the hope of finding a statement of intent and evidence that the statement actually reflected the views of several of the legislators who voted for the bill ( as opposed to just one ) . Legislative committees ( edit ) The most sought - after legislative committee appointments are to banking , agriculture and insurance . These are sometimes called `` juice '' committees , because membership in these committees often aids the campaign fundraising efforts of the committee members , because powerful lobbying groups want to donate to members of these committees . Overview of legislative procedure ( edit ) A bill is a proposal to change , repeal , or add to existing state law . An Assembly Bill ( AB ) is one introduced in the Assembly ; a Senate Bill ( SB ) , in the Senate . Bills are designated by number , in the order of introduction in each house . For example , AB 16 refers to the 16th bill introduced in the Assembly . The numbering starts afresh each session . There may be one or more `` extraordinary '' sessions . The bill numbering starts again for each of these . For example , the third bill introduced in the Assembly for the second extraordinary session is ABX2 3 . The name of the author , the legislator who introduced the bill , becomes part of the title of the bill . The legislative procedure , is divided into distinct stages : Drafting . The procedure begins when a Senator or Assembly Member decides to author a bill . A legislator sends the idea for the bill to the California Office of the Legislative Counsel , which drafts it into bill form and returns the draft to the legislator for introduction . Introduction or First Reading . A legislator introduces a bill for the first time by reading or having read : the bill number , name of the author , and descriptive title on the floor of the house . The bill then goes to the Office of State Publishing . The legislator ca n't act on a bill , except the Budget Bill , until 30 days after its introduction . Committee hearing . After introduction , a bill goes to the rules committee of the house , which assigns it to the policy committee appropriate to the subject matter , for its first hearing . During the committee hearing , the author presents the bill to the committee , which may hear testimony in support of or opposition to the bill . The committee then votes on whether to pass the bill out of committee , or that it be passed as amended . Bills may be amended several times . It takes a majority vote of the committee membership to pass a bill and send it to the next committee or to the floor . The Fiscal committee reviews the bill if it contains an appropriation or has financial implications for the state . A second reading on the floor of the house happens when a bill is recommended for passage . Ordinarily there is little or no debate . If a bill is amended at this stage , it may be referred back for another committee hearing . Floor vote . A roll call vote is taken . An ordinary bill needs a majority vote to pass . An urgency bill or a bill with tax increases requires a two - thirds vote . The California Constitution used to require a two - thirds vote of both houses on the yearly budget and on any bill that would increase taxes , but since the passage of California Proposition 25 ( 2010 ) , the two - thirds vote is required only for tax increases . Before , this provision was faulted for much of what had been termed `` legislative gridlock '' , enabling a minority party to block approval of a budget before the previous one expired . Second house . If it receives a favorable vote in the first house , a bill repeats the same steps in the other house . If the second house passes the bill without changing it , it is sent to the governor 's desk . Resolution of Differences ( concurrence or conference ) . If a measure is amended in the second house and passed , it is returned to the house of origin for consideration of amendments . The house of origin may concur with the amendments and send the bill to the governor or reject the amendments and submit it to a two - house conference committee . If either house rejects the conference report , a second ( and even a third ) conference committee can be formed . If both houses adopt the conference report , the bill is sent to the governor . Governor 's action . Within 30 days after receiving a bill , the governor may sign it into law , allow it to become law without his / her signature , or veto it . Overrides . A vetoed bill is returned to the house of origin , where a vote may be taken to override the governor 's veto ; a two - thirds vote of both houses is required to override a veto . California Law and effective date . Each bill that is passed by the Legislature and approved by the Governor is assigned a chapter number by the Secretary of State . These chaptered bills are statutes , and ordinarily become part of the California Codes . Ordinarily a law passed during a regular session takes effect January 1 of the following year . A few statutes go into effect as soon as the governor signs them ; these include acts calling for elections and urgency measures necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace , health , or safety .

In 2009 , when California faced a major revenue crisis due to the global economic downturn , the state was forced to issue revenue anticipation warrants ( `` RAWs '' , or more commonly , `` IOUs '' ) for two months because it lacked budgetary authority to issue payments . In 2010 , California voters again amended the state 's constitution with the approval of Proposition 25 , which let sa simple majority pass an `` all cuts budget '' to meet the balanced budget requirement , and provide budgetary authority to issue payments and avoid revenue anticipation warrants , but continued the requirement of a two - thirds vote to increase revenues and reduce budget cuts .

in california what is the name of the lower house/chamber of the legislature
[ "The California State Legislature is the state legislature of the U.S. state of California. It is a bicameral body consisting of the lower house, the California State Assembly, with 80 members, and the upper house, the California State Senate, with 40 members.[1] New legislators convene each new two-year session, to organize, in the Assembly and Senate Chambers, respectively, at noon on the first Monday in December following the election.[2] After the organizational meeting, both houses are in recess until the first Monday in January, except when the first Monday is January 1 or January 1 is a Sunday, in which case they meet the following Wednesday. Aside from the recess, the legislature is in session year-round.[3]\n" ]

Oxytocin is normally produced by the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary . It plays a role in social bonding , sexual reproduction in both sexes , and during and after childbirth . Oxytocin is released into the bloodstream as a hormone in response to stretching of the cervix and uterus during labor and with stimulation of the nipples from breastfeeding . This helps with birth , bonding with the baby , and milk production . Oxytocin was discovered by Henry Dale in 1906 . Its molecular structure was discovered in 1952 . Oxytocin is also used as a medication to facilitate childbirth .

In women , a single dose of estradiol has been found to be sufficient to increase circulating oxytocin concentrations . Biosynthesis ( edit ) The oxytocin peptide is synthesized as an inactive precursor protein from the OXT gene . This precursor protein also includes the oxytocin carrier protein neurophysin I . The inactive precursor protein is progressively hydrolyzed into smaller fragments ( one of which is neurophysin I ) via a series of enzymes . The last hydrolysis that releases the active oxytocin nonapeptide is catalyzed by peptidylglycine alpha - amidating monooxygenase ( PAM ) . The activity of the PAM enzyme system is dependent upon vitamin C ( ascorbate ) , which is a necessary vitamin cofactor . By chance , sodium ascorbate by itself was found to stimulate the production of oxytocin from ovarian tissue over a range of concentrations in a dose - dependent manner . Many of the same tissues ( e.g. ovaries , testes , eyes , adrenals , placenta , thymus , pancreas ) where PAM ( and oxytocin by default ) is found are also known to store higher concentrations of vitamin C . Oxytocin is known to be metabolized by the oxytocinase , leucyl / cystinyl aminopeptidase . Other oxytocinases are also known to exist . Amastatin , bestatin ( ubenimex ) , leupeptin , and puromycin have been found to inhibit the enzymatic degradation of oxytocin , though they also inhibit the degradation of various other peptides , such as vasopressin , met - enkephalin , and dynorphin A . Neural sources ( edit ) In the hypothalamus , oxytocin is made in magnocellular neurosecretory cells of the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei , and is stored in Herring bodies at the axon terminals in the posterior pituitary . It is then released into the blood from the posterior lobe ( neurohypophysis ) of the pituitary gland . These axons ( likely , but dendrites have not been ruled out ) have collaterals that innervate neurons in the nucleus accumbens , a brain structure where oxytocin receptors are expressed . The endocrine effects of hormonal oxytocin and the cognitive or behavioral effects of oxytocin neuropeptides are thought to be coordinated through its common release through these collaterals . Oxytocin is also produced by some neurons in the paraventricular nucleus that project to other parts of the brain and to the spinal cord . Depending on the species , oxytocin receptor - expressing cells are located in other areas , including the amygdala and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis . In the pituitary gland , oxytocin is packaged in large , dense - core vesicles , where it is bound to neurophysin I as shown in the inset of the figure ; neurophysin is a large peptide fragment of the larger precursor protein molecule from which oxytocin is derived by enzymatic cleavage . Secretion of oxytocin from the neurosecretory nerve endings is regulated by the electrical activity of the oxytocin cells in the hypothalamus . These cells generate action potentials that propagate down axons to the nerve endings in the pituitary ; the endings contain large numbers of oxytocin - containing vesicles , which are released by exocytosis when the nerve terminals are depolarised . Non-neural sources ( edit ) Endogenous oxytocin concentrations in the brain have been found to be as much as 1000-fold higher than peripheral levels . Outside the brain , oxytocin - containing cells have been identified in several diverse tissues , including in females in the corpus luteum and the placenta , in males in the testicles ' interstitial cells of Leydig , the retina , the adrenal medulla , the thymus and the pancreas . The finding of significant amounts of this classically `` neurohypophysial '' hormone outside the central nervous system raises many questions regarding its possible importance in these different tissues . Male ( edit ) The Leydig cells in some species have been shown to possess the biosynthetic machinery to manufacture testicular oxytocin de novo , to be specific , in rats ( which can synthesize vitamin C endogenously ) , and in guinea pigs , which , like humans , require an exogenous source of vitamin C ( ascorbate ) in their diets . Female ( edit ) Oxytocin is synthesized by corpora lutea of several species , including ruminants and primates . Along with estrogen , it is involved in inducing the endometrial synthesis of prostaglandin F to cause regression of the corpus luteum . Evolution ( edit ) Virtually all vertebrates have an oxytocin - like nonapeptide hormone that supports reproductive functions and a vasopressin - like nonapeptide hormone involved in water regulation . The two genes are usually located close to each other ( less than 15,000 bases apart ) on the same chromosome , and are transcribed in opposite directions ( however , in fugu , the homologs are further apart and transcribed in the same direction ) . The two genes are believed to result from a gene duplication event ; the ancestral gene is estimated to be about 500 million years old and is found in cyclostomata ( modern members of the Agnatha ) . Biological function ( edit ) Oxytocin has peripheral ( hormonal ) actions , and also has actions in the brain . Its actions are mediated by specific , oxytocin receptors . The oxytocin receptor is a G - protein - coupled receptor that requires magnesium and cholesterol . It belongs to the rhodopsin - type ( class I ) group of G - protein - coupled receptors . Studies have looked at oxytocin 's role in various behaviors , including orgasm , social recognition , pair bonding , anxiety , and maternal behaviors . Physiological ( edit ) The peripheral actions of oxytocin mainly reflect secretion from the pituitary gland . The behavioral effects of oxytocin are thought to reflect release from centrally projecting oxytocin neurons , different from those that project to the pituitary gland , or that are collaterals from them . Oxytocin receptors are expressed by neurons in many parts of the brain and spinal cord , including the amygdala , ventromedial hypothalamus , septum , nucleus accumbens , and brainstem . Milk ejection reflex / Letdown reflex : In lactating ( breastfeeding ) mothers , oxytocin acts at the mammary glands , causing milk to be ' let down ' into subareolar sinuses , from where it can be excreted via the nipple . Suckling by the infant at the nipple is relayed by spinal nerves to the hypothalamus . The stimulation causes neurons that make oxytocin to fire action potentials in intermittent bursts ; these bursts result in the secretion of pulses of oxytocin from the neurosecretory nerve terminals of the pituitary gland . Uterine contraction : Important for cervical dilation before birth , oxytocin causes contractions during the second and third stages of labor . Oxytocin release during breastfeeding causes mild but often painful contractions during the first few weeks of lactation . This also serves to assist the uterus in clotting the placental attachment point postpartum . However , in knockout mice lacking the oxytocin receptor , reproductive behavior and parturition are normal . Due to its similarity to vasopressin , it can reduce the excretion of urine slightly . In several species , oxytocin can stimulate sodium excretion from the kidneys ( natriuresis ) , and , in humans , high doses can result in low sodium levels ( hyponatremia ) . Cardiac effects : Oxytocin and oxytocin receptors are also found in the heart in some rodents , and the hormone may play a role in the embryonal development of the heart by promoting cardiomyocyte differentiation . However , the absence of either oxytocin or its receptor in knockout mice has not been reported to produce cardiac insufficiencies . Modulation of hypothalamic - pituitary - adrenal axis activity : Oxytocin , under certain circumstances , indirectly inhibits release of adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol and , in those situations , may be considered an antagonist of vasopressin . Preparing fetal neurons for delivery : Crossing the placenta , maternal oxytocin reaches the fetal brain and induces a switch in the action of neurotransmitter GABA from excitatory to inhibitory on fetal cortical neurons . This silences the fetal brain for the period of delivery and reduces its vulnerability to hypoxic damage . Feeding : A 2012 paper suggested that oxytocin neurons in the para-ventricular hypothalamus in the brain may play a key role in suppressing appetite under normal conditions and that other hypothalamic neurons may trigger eating via inhibition of these oxytocin neurons . This population of oxytocin neurons are absent in Prader - Willi syndrome , a genetic disorder that leads to uncontrollable feeding and obesity , and may play a key role in its pathophysiology . Psychological ( edit ) Autism : Oxytocin has been implicated in the etiology of autism , with one report suggesting autism is correlated with genomic deletion of the gene containing the oxytocin receptor gene ( OXTR ) . Studies involving Caucasian and Finnish samples and Chinese Han families provide support for the relationship of OXTR with autism . Autism may also be associated with an aberrant methylation of OXTR . Bonding ( edit ) In the prairie vole , oxytocin released into the brain of the female during sexual activity is important for forming a monogamous pair bond with her sexual partner . Vasopressin appears to have a similar effect in males . Oxytocin has a role in social behaviors in many species , so it likely also does in humans . In a 2003 study , both humans and dog oxytocin levels in the blood rose after five to 24 minutes of a petting session . This possibly plays a role in the emotional bonding between humans and dogs . Maternal behavior : Female rats given oxytocin antagonists after giving birth do not exhibit typical maternal behavior . By contrast , virgin female sheep show maternal behavior toward foreign lambs upon cerebrospinal fluid infusion of oxytocin , which they would not do otherwise . Oxytocin is involved in the initiation of maternal behavior , not its maintenance ; for example , it is higher in mothers after they interact with unfamiliar children rather than their own . Ingroup bonding : Oxytocin can increase positive attitudes , such as bonding , toward individuals with similar characteristics , who then become classified as `` in - group '' members , whereas individuals who are dissimilar become classified as `` out - group '' members . Race can be used as an example of in - group and out - group tendencies because society often categorizes individuals into groups based on race ( Caucasian , African American , Latino , etc . ) . One study that examined race and empathy found that participants receiving nasally administered oxytocin had stronger reactions to pictures of in - group members making pained faces than to pictures of out - group members with the same expression . This shows that oxytocin may be implicated in our ability to empathize with individuals of different races and could potentially translate into willingness to help individuals in pain or stressful situations . Moreover , individuals of one race may be more inclined to help individuals of the same race than individuals of another race when they are experiencing pain . Oxytocin has also been implicated in lying when lying would prove beneficial to other in - group members . In a study where such a relationship was examined , it was found that when individuals were administered oxytocin , rates of dishonesty in the participants ' responses increased for their in - group members when a beneficial outcome for their group was expected . Both of these examples show the tendency to act in ways that benefit people with which one feels is part of their social group , or in - group . Oxytocin is not only correlated with the preferences of individuals to associate with members of their own group , but it is also evident during conflicts between members of different groups . During conflict , individuals receiving nasally administered oxytocin demonstrate more frequent defense - motivated responses toward in - group members than out - group members . Further , oxytocin was correlated with participant desire to protect vulnerable in - group members , despite that individual 's attachment to the conflict . Similarly , it has been demonstrated that when oxytocin is administered , individuals alter their subjective preferences in order to align with in - group ideals over out - group ideals . These studies demonstrate that oxytocin is associated with intergroup dynamics . Further , oxytocin influences the responses of individuals in a particular group to those of another group . The in - group bias is evident in smaller groups ; however , it can also be extended to groups as large as one 's entire country leading toward a tendency of strong national zeal . A study done in the Netherlands showed that oxytocin increased the in - group favoritism of their nation while decreasing acceptance of members of other ethnicities and foreigners . People also show more affection for their country 's flag while remaining indifferent to other cultural objects when exposed to oxytocin . It has thus been hypothesized that this hormone may be a factor in xenophobic tendencies secondary to this effect . Thus , oxytocin appears to affect individuals at an international level where the in - group becomes a specific `` home '' country and the out - group grows to include all other countries . Drugs ( edit ) Drug interaction Impact on effects of alcohol and other drugs : According to several studies in animals , oxytocin inhibits the development of tolerance to various addictive drugs ( opiates , cocaine , alcohol ) , and reduces withdrawal symptoms . MDMA ( ecstasy ) may increase feelings of love , empathy , and connection to others by stimulating oxytocin activity primarily via activation of serotonin 5 - HT1A receptors , if initial studies in animals apply to humans . The anxiolytic Buspar ( buspirone ) may produce some of its effects via 5 - HT1A receptor - induced oxytocin stimulation as well . Addiction vulnerability Endogenous oxytocin can also impact on drug effects and susceptibility to develop Substance use disorder . Endogenous oxytocin concentrations can directly impact on drug effects . Additionally , bilateral interactions with numerous systems , including the dopamine system , Hypothalamic -- pituitary -- adrenal axis and immune system , can impact on development of dependence . The status of the endogenous oxytocin system might enhance or reduce susceptibility to addiction through its interaction with these systems . Individual differences in the endogenous oxytocin system based on genetic predisposition , gender and environmental influences , may therefore affect addiction vulnerability . Oxytocin may be related to the place conditioning behaviors observed in habitual drug abusers . Fear and anxiety ( edit ) Oxytocin is typically remembered for the effect it has on prosocial behaviors , such as its role in facilitating trust and attachment between individuals . Consequently , oxytocin is often referred to as the `` love hormone '' . However , oxytocin has a more complex role than solely enhancing prosocial behaviors . There is consensus that oxytocin modulates fear and anxiety ; that is , it does not directly elicit fear or anxiety . Two dominant theories explain the role of oxytocin in fear and anxiety . One theory states that oxytocin increases approach / avoidance to certain social stimuli and the second theory states that oxytocin increases the salience of certain social stimuli , causing the animal or human to pay closer attention to socially relevant stimuli . Nasally administered oxytocin has been reported to reduce fear , possibly by inhibiting the amygdala ( which is thought to be responsible for fear responses ) . Indeed , studies in rodents have shown oxytocin can efficiently inhibit fear responses by activating an inhibitory circuit within the amygdala . Some researchers have argued oxytocin has a general enhancing effect on all social emotions , since intranasal administration of oxytocin also increases envy and Schadenfreude . Individuals who receive an intranasal dose of oxytocin identify facial expressions of disgust faster than individuals who do not receive oxytocin . Facial expressions of disgust are evolutionarily linked to the idea of contagion . Thus , oxytocin increases the salience of cues that imply contamination , which leads to a faster response because these cues are especially relevant for survival . In another study , after administration of oxytocin , individuals displayed an enhanced ability to recognize expressions of fear compared to the individuals who received the placebo . Oxytocin modulates fear responses by enhancing the maintenance of social memories . Rats that are genetically modified to have a surplus of oxytocin receptors display a greater fear response to a previously conditioned stressor . Oxytocin enhances the aversive social memory , leading the rat to display a greater fear response when the aversive stimulus is encountered again . Mood and depression ( edit ) Oxytocin produces antidepressant - like effects in animal models of depression , and a deficit of it may be involved in the pathophysiology of depression in humans . The antidepressant - like effects of oxytocin are not blocked by a selective antagonist of the oxytocin receptor , suggesting that these effects are not mediated by the oxytocin receptor . In accordance , unlike oxytocin , the selective non-peptide oxytocin receptor agonist WAY - 267,464 does not produce antidepressant - like effects , at least in the tail suspension test . In contrast to WAY - 267,464 , carbetocin , a close analogue of oxytocin and peptide oxytocin receptor agonist , notably does produce antidepressant - like effects in animals . As such , the antidepressant - like effects of oxytocin may be mediated by modulation of a different target , perhaps the vasopressin V receptor where oxytocin is known to weakly bind as an agonist . Sildenafil has been found to enhance electrically evoked oxytocin release from the pituitary gland . In accordance , the drug shows oxytocin - dependent antidepressant - like effects in animals , and it has proposed that sildenafil may hold promise as a potential antidepressant in humans . Sex differences ( edit ) It has been shown that oxytocin differentially affects males and females . Females who are administered oxytocin are overall faster in responding to socially relevant stimuli than males who received oxytocin . Additionally , after the administration of oxytocin , females show increased amygdala activity in response to threatening scenes ; however , males do not show increased amygdala activation . This phenomenon can be explained by looking at the role of gonadal hormones , specifically estrogen , which modulate the enhanced threat processing seen in females . Estrogen has been shown to stimulate the release of oxytocin from the hypothalamus and promote receptor binding in the amygdala . It has also been shown that testosterone directly suppresses oxytocin in mice . This has been hypothesized to have evolutionary significance . With oxytocin suppressed , activities such as hunting and attacking invaders would be less mentally difficult as oxytocin is strongly associated with empathy . Social ( edit ) Affecting generosity by increasing empathy during perspective taking : In a neuroeconomics experiment , intranasal oxytocin increased generosity in the Ultimatum Game by 80 % , but had no effect in the Dictator Game that measures altruism . Perspective - taking is not required in the Dictator Game , but the researchers in this experiment explicitly induced perspective - taking in the Ultimatum Game by not identifying to participants into which role they would be placed . Serious methodological questions have arisen , however , with regard to the role of oxytocin in trust and generosity . Empathy in healthy males has been shown to be increased after intranasal oxytocin This is most likely due to the effect of oxytocin in enhancing eye gaze . There is some discussion about which aspect of empathy oxytocin might alter -- for example , cognitive vs. emotional empathy. * Trust is increased by oxytocin . Disclosure of emotional events is a sign of trust in humans . When recounting a negative event , humans who receive intranasal oxytocin share more emotional details and stories with more emotional significance . Humans also find faces more trustworthy after receiving intranasal oxytocin . In a study , participants who received intranasal oxytocin viewed photographs of human faces with neutral expressions and found them to be more trustworthy than those who did not receive oxytocin . This may be because oxytocin reduces the fear of social betrayal in humans . Even after experiencing social alienation by being excluded from a conversation , humans who received oxytocin scored higher in trust on the Revised NEO Personality Inventory . Moreover , in a risky investment game , experimental subjects given nasally administered oxytocin displayed `` the highest level of trust '' twice as often as the control group . Subjects who were told they were interacting with a computer showed no such reaction , leading to the conclusion that oxytocin was not merely affecting risk aversion . When there is a reason to be distrustful , such as experiencing betrayal , differing reactions are associated with oxytocin receptor gene ( OXTR ) differences . Those with the CT haplotype experience a stronger reaction , in the form of anger , to betrayal . Romantic attachment : In some studies , high levels of plasma oxytocin have been correlated with romantic attachment . For example , if a couple is separated for a long period of time , anxiety can increase due to the lack of physical affection . Oxytocin may aid romantically attached couples by decreasing their feelings of anxiety when they are separated . Group - serving dishonesty / deception : In a carefully controlled study exploring the biological roots of immoral behavior , oxytocin was shown to promote dishonesty when the outcome favored the group to which an individual belonged instead of just the individual . Sexual activity : The relationship between oxytocin and human sexual response is unclear . At least two uncontrolled studies have found increases in plasma oxytocin at orgasm -- in both men and women . Plasma oxytocin levels are notably increased around the time of self - stimulated orgasm and are still higher than baseline when measured five minutes after self arousal . The authors of one of these studies speculated that oxytocin 's effects on muscle contractibility may facilitate sperm and egg transport . In a study measuring oxytocin serum levels in women before and after sexual stimulation , the author suggests it serves an important role in sexual arousal . This study found genital tract stimulation resulted in increased oxytocin immediately after orgasm . Another study reported increases of oxytocin during sexual arousal could be in response to nipple / areola , genital , and / or genital tract stimulation as confirmed in other mammals . Murphy et al. ( 1987 ) , studying men , found oxytocin levels were raised throughout sexual arousal with no acute increase at orgasm . A more recent study of men found an increase in plasma oxytocin immediately after orgasm , but only in a portion of their sample that did not reach statistical significance . The authors noted these changes `` may simply reflect contractile properties on reproductive tissue '' . Oxytocin affects social distance between adult males and females , and may be responsible at least in part for romantic attraction and subsequent monogamous pair bonding . An oxytocin nasal spray caused men in a monogamous relationship , but not single men , to increase the distance between themselves and an attractive woman during a first encounter by 10 to 15 centimeters . The researchers suggested that oxytocin may help promote fidelity within monogamous relationships . For this reason , it is sometimes referred to as the `` bonding hormone '' . There is some evidence that oxytocin promotes ethnocentric behavior , incorporating the trust and empathy of in - groups with their suspicion and rejection of outsiders . Furthermore , genetic differences in the oxytocin receptor gene ( OXTR ) have been associated with maladaptive social traits such as aggressive behavior . Social behavior and wound healing : Oxytocin is also thought to modulate inflammation by decreasing certain cytokines . Thus , the increased release in oxytocin following positive social interactions has the potential to improve wound healing . A study by Marazziti and colleagues used heterosexual couples to investigate this possibility . They found increases in plasma oxytocin following a social interaction were correlated with faster wound healing . They hypothesized this was due to oxytocin reducing inflammation , thus allowing the wound to heal more quickly . This study provides preliminary evidence that positive social interactions may directly influence aspects of health . According to a study published in 2014 , silencing of oxytocin receptor interneurons in the medial prefrontal cortex ( mPFC ) of female mice resulted in loss of social interest in male mice during the sexually receptive phase of the estrous cycle . Oxytocin evokes feelings of contentment , reductions in anxiety , and feelings of calmness and security when in the company of the mate . This suggests oxytocin may be important for the inhibition of the brain regions associated with behavioral control , fear , and anxiety , thus allowing orgasm to occur . Research has also demonstrated that oxytocin can decrease anxiety and protect against stress , particularly in combination with social support . Chemistry ( edit ) Oxytocin ( ball - and - stick ) bound to its carrier protein neurophysin ( ribbons ) Oxytocin is a peptide of nine amino acids ( a nonapeptide ) in the sequence cysteine - tyrosine - isoleucine - glutamine - asparagine - cysteine - proline - leucine - glycine - amide ( Cys -- Tyr -- Ile -- Gln -- Asn -- Cys -- Pro -- Leu -- Gly -- NH , or CYIQNCPLG - NH ) ; its C - terminus has been converted to a primary amide and a disulfide bridge joins the cysteine moieties . Oxytocin has a molecular mass of 1007 Da , and one international unit ( IU ) of oxytocin is the equivalent of about 2 μg of pure peptide . While the structure of oxytocin is highly conserved in placental mammals , a novel structure of oxytocin was recently reported in marmosets , tamarins , and other new world primates . Genomic sequencing of the gene for oxytocin revealed a single in - frame mutation ( thymine for cytosine ) which results in a single amino acid substitution at the 8 - position ( proline for leucine ) . Since this original Lee et al. paper , two other laboratories have confirmed Pro8 - OT and documented additional oxytocin structural variants in this primate taxon . Vargas - Pinilla et al. sequenced the coding regions of the OXT gene in other genera in new world primates and identified the following variants in addition to Leu8 - and Pro8 - OT : Ala8 - OT , Thr8 - OT , and Val3 / Pro8 - OT . Ren et al. identified a variant further , Phe2 - OT in howler monkeys . The biologically active form of oxytocin , commonly measured by RIA and / or HPLC techniques , is also known as the octapeptide `` oxytocin disulfide '' ( oxidized form ) , but oxytocin also exists as a reduced straight - chain ( non-cyclic ) dithiol nonapeptide called oxytoceine . It has been theorized that oxytoceine may act as a free radical scavenger , as donating an electron to a free radical allows oxytoceine to be re-oxidized to oxytocin via the dehydroascorbate / ascorbate redox couple . The structure of oxytocin is very similar to that of vasopressin . Both are nonapeptides with a single disulfide bridge , differing only by two substitutions in the amino acid sequence ( differences from oxytocin bolded for clarity ) : Cys -- Tyr -- Phe -- Gln -- Asn -- Cys -- Pro -- Arg -- Gly -- NH . A table showing the sequences of members of the vasopressin / oxytocin superfamily and the species expressing them is present in the vasopressin article . Oxytocin and vasopressin were isolated and their total synthesis reported in 1954 , work for which Vincent du Vigneaud was awarded the 1955 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with the citation : `` for his work on biochemically important sulphur compounds , especially for the first synthesis of a polypeptide hormone . '' Oxytocin and vasopressin are the only known hormones released by the human posterior pituitary gland to act at a distance . However , oxytocin neurons make other peptides , including corticotropin - releasing hormone and dynorphin , for example , that act locally . The magnocellular neurosecretory cells that make oxytocin are adjacent to magnocellular neurosecretory cells that make vasopressin . These are large neuroendocrine neurons which are excitable and can generate action potentials . History ( edit ) The word oxytocin was coined from the term oxytocic . Greek ὀξύς , oxys , and τόκος , tokos , meaning `` quick birth '' ) Its uterine - contracting properties were discovered by British pharmacologist Sir Henry Hallett Dale in 1906 . And its milk ejection property was described by Ott and Scott in 1910 and by Schafer and Mackenzie in 1911 . Oxytocin became the first polypeptide hormone to be sequenced or synthesized . Du Vigneaud was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1955 for his work .

where is oxytocin made and what is its function
[ "Oxytocin (Oxt; /ˌɒksɪˈtoʊsɪn/, /ˌɒksi-/) is a peptide hormone and neuropeptide. Oxytocin is normally produced by the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary.[3] It plays a role in social bonding, sexual reproduction in both sexes, and during and after childbirth.[4] Oxytocin is released into the bloodstream as a hormone in response to stretching of the cervix and uterus during labor and with stimulation of the nipples from breastfeeding.[5] This helps with birth, bonding with the baby, and milk production.[5][6] Oxytocin was discovered by Henry Dale in 1906.[7] Its molecular structure was discovered in 1952.[8] Oxytocin is also used as a medication to facilitate childbirth.[9][10][11]", "Oxytocin (Oxt; /ˌɒksɪˈtoʊsɪn/, /ˌɒksi-/) is a peptide hormone and neuropeptide.

It is owned and operated by MGM Resorts International . One of the property 's towers operates as the Delano ; the Four Seasons Hotel is independently operated within the Mandalay Bay tower , occupying 5 floors ( 35 -- 39 ) . Mandalay Bay has 3,309 hotel rooms , 24 elevators and a casino of 135,000 square feet ( 12,500 m ) . Adjacent to the hotel is the 2,000,000 square feet ( 190,000 m ) Mandalay Bay Convention Center and the 12,000 - seat Mandalay Bay Events Center . The Mandalay Bay Tram connects the resort to its sister properties , Excalibur and Luxor , all three of which were constructed by Circus Circus Enterprises before its sale to MGM .

They closed the Hacienda on December 1 , 1996 , and imploded it a month later on New Year 's Eve . Plans for the tropical - themed `` Project Paradise '' were revealed the same day , with an estimated budget of $800 million to $1 billion . In February 1998 the project was renamed Mandalay Bay to evoke the exotic tropical romanticism of the poem `` Mandalay '' . Problems arose during construction because of excessive and uneven settling of the soil beneath the building ; the core of the building sank by 17 inches ( 430 mm ) , while one of the wings had settled by only 2 inches ( 51 mm ) . Rumors about the severity of the issues depressed Circus Circus 's stock price . The problem was solved by installing 536 micropiles ( 200 - foot - long metal pipes filled with grout , each capped with a hydraulic jack ) below the building , at an estimated cost of $8 to $10 million . The resort opened on March 2 , 1999 , with grand opening festivities that included the Blues Brothers ( Dan Aykroyd , James Belushi , and John Goodman ) leading a procession of 200 motorcycles to Mandalay Bay 's front doors , and a concert by Bob Dylan at the House of Blues . In June 1999 , Circus Circus changed its name to Mandalay Resort Group . Construction of a major convention center at Mandalay Bay was begun in June 2001 , with its opening originally set for the summer of 2002 . After a delay in the wake of the September 11 , 2001 attacks , the Mandalay Bay Convention Center opened in January 2003 . With 1.5 million square feet ( 140,000 m ) of space , it was the fifth largest convention center in the nation . On May 23 , 2002 , the Mandalay Resort Group announced a second 1,122 - room hotel tower , with a cost of at least $200 million . Construction began on the project in September 2002 . The name of the tower , THEhotel at Mandalay Bay , was revealed in October 2003 . The tower opened on December 17 , 2003 . In February 2005 , Mandalay Resort Group was sold to MGM Mirage ( later MGM Resorts International ) , who currently own the resort . The acquisition was finalized on April 25 , 2005 . 2017 shooting ( edit ) Main article : 2017 Las Vegas shooting On October 1 , 2017 , gunman Stephen Paddock opened fire on an adjacent country music festival from a room on the 32nd floor of the hotel , killing 58 and wounding 546 . The shooting ended when Paddock committed suicide before Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers breached the hotel room . The incident is the deadliest mass shooting by a lone gunman in recent U.S. history . Hotels ( edit ) Penthouse suites ( edit ) The gold coloring of the hotel is a result of gold leaf used on the windows . Levels 40 - 42 ( numbered as floors 60 -- 62 ) are designed as penthouse suites , with a penthouse lounge on level 62 for guests staying in the penthouses . Level 43 ( numbered as 64 ) is the Foundation Room , a restaurant and bar . Four Seasons hotel ( edit ) Five floors ( floors 35 -- 39 ) of the main hotel building are occupied by the five - star and AAA Five - Diamond Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas . Delano Las Vegas ( adjacent building ) ( edit ) Main article : Delano Las Vegas The resort 's second tower , with 45 stories and 1,117 suites , previously operated as THEhotel at Mandalay Bay , now operates as Delano Las Vegas . Each suite is at least 750 square feet ( 70 m ) . Attractions ( edit ) Shows ( edit ) A production of the classic Broadway musical Chicago debuted at Mandalay Bay 's 1999 grand opening and ran for one year . Storm , an original production show featuring Latin music , ran from April 2001 to July 2002 . Mamma Mia ! was a long - running stage production at the resort from 2003 to 2009 . The show was replaced with Disney 's The Lion King , which opened on May 15 , 2009 . Its run ended in 2011 to make way for Michael Jackson : One , by Cirque du Soleil , which opened May 2013 . Another popular attraction is the House of Blues , a venue for live music and a restaurant , with a capacity of approximately 1,800 . On the top floor of the hotel is the House of Blues Foundation Room , featuring a dining room , private dining rooms , and a balcony looking down the Las Vegas Strip . Mandalay Beach ( edit ) Mandalay Bay pool . Mandalay Beach is an 11 acres ( 4.5 ha ) pool area with three heated pools , a wave pool with connecting pool for small children , and a lazy river that features a small waterfall . The wave pool features 1.6 million gallons of water and waves in 90 - second intervals with heights ranging anywhere from two to four feet . Because of this , it has a strict 48 '' height requirement . The European - style pool , called Moorea , features its own private bar as well as the allowance of female guests to bathe topless . Because of this , Moorea is separated from the rest of the pool by smoked glass windows and has an over-21 requirement . There are also two restaurants at the Beach . The pool area won the Las Vegas Review Journal 's Reader 's `` Best Pool of Las Vegas '' award for seven years in a row . One pool remains open throughout the winter months . In keeping with the resort 's tropical theme , it features a saltwater aquarium , the Shark Reef Aquarium , which contains the third largest tank in North America . Shark Reef Aquarium contains numerous other exhibits , including two tunnel - shaped , walk - through aquariums . Mandalay Bay events center ( edit ) Main article : Mandalay Bay Events Center The Mandalay Bay Events Center , a 12,000 - seat arena , hosts major events including concerts , boxing matches , and Ultimate Fighting Championship events . It has played host to the Latin Grammy Awards several times , and the Miss Universe pageant .

The Cavs compete in the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) as a member of the league 's Eastern Conference Central Division . The team began play as an expansion team in 1970 , along with the Portland Trail Blazers and Buffalo Braves . Home games were first held at Cleveland Arena from 1970 to 1974 , followed by the Richfield Coliseum from 1974 to 1994 . Since 1994 , the Cavs have played home games at Quicken Loans Arena in downtown Cleveland , which is shared with the Cleveland Gladiators of the Arena Football League and the Cleveland Monsters of the American Hockey League . Dan Gilbert has owned the team since March 2005 . The Cavaliers opened their inaugural season losing their first 15 games and struggled in their early years , placing no better than 6th in the Eastern Conference during their first five seasons . The team won their first Central Division title in 1976 , which also marked the first winning season and playoff appearance in franchise history , where they advanced to the Eastern Conference finals . The franchise was purchased by Ted Stepien in 1980 . Stepien 's tenure as owner was marked by five coaching changes , questionable trades and draft decisions , and poor attendance , leading to $15 million in financial losses . The Cavs went 66 -- 180 in that time , never better than 8th in the conference , and endured a 24 - game losing streak spanning the 1981 -- 82 and 1982 -- 83 seasons . Stepien 's repeated trades of the team 's first overall draft pick led to the NBA creating the `` Stepien rule '' to prevent such trades . George and Gordon Gund purchased the franchise in 1983 . During the latter half of the 1980s and through much of the 1990s , the Cavs were a regular playoff contender , led by players such as Mark Price and Brad Daugherty , and advanced to the Eastern Conference finals in 1992 . After the team 's playoff appearance in 1998 , however , the Cavs had six consecutive losing seasons , finishing no better than 9th in the conference . Cleveland was awarded with the top overall pick in the 2003 draft , and they selected LeBron James . Behind James and Zydrunas Ilgauskas , the Cavaliers again became a regular playoff contender by 2005 . They made their first appearance in the NBA Finals in 2007 after winning the first Eastern Conference championship in franchise history , followed by division titles in 2008 and 2009 , the first division titles since 1976 . After the 2009 -- 10 season , however , James signed with the Miami Heat and the Cavaliers finished the 2010 -- 11 season last in the conference , enduring a 26 - game losing streak that , as of 2017 , ranks as the longest in NBA history for a single season and second overall . Between 2010 and 2014 , however , the team won the top pick in the NBA draft lottery three times , first in 2011 where they selected Kyrie Irving , and again in 2013 and 2014 . LeBron James returned to the Cavs in 2014 -- 15 and led the team back to the playoffs for the first time since 2010 , where they claimed their second Eastern Conference championship . The following season , Cleveland again won the Eastern Conference and returned to the NBA Finals , where they won their first NBA championship and first major sports title in the city since 1964 . The 2016 NBA Finals victory over the Golden State Warriors marked the first time in Finals history a team had come back to win the series after trailing three games to one . Through the 2016 -- 17 season , the Cavs have made 21 playoff appearances , and won six Central Division titles , four Eastern Conference titles , and one NBA title .

Their 46 - year history has been marked by both stretches of strong play and periods of poor play . In the 1970s , under the ownership of Nick Mileti , the team won its first division title in 1976 . That team was led by Austin Carr , Bobby `` Bingo '' Smith , Jim Chones , Dick Snyder , Nate Thurmond , and head coach Bill Fitch , and was remembered most for the `` Miracle at Richfield '' , in which the Cavaliers defeated the Washington Bullets 4 -- 3 . They won Game 7 , 87 -- 85 , on a shot by Snyder with four seconds to go . Injuries , particularly an ankle injury to Chones , led to this team 's demise , as the Cavaliers would lose the Eastern Conference Finals to the Boston Celtics , 4 -- 2 . It is widely believed among both Cavaliers fans and players that the `` Miracle '' team would have won the 1976 NBA Championship had Chones stayed healthy . The remainder of the 1970s were marked by early playoff losses and eventually Fitch 's resignation . The early 1980s were marked by Ted Stepien 's ownership . Stepien also oversaw the hiring and firing of a succession of coaches and was involved in making a number of poor trade and free agent signing decisions . The result of his questionable trading acumen was the loss of several of the team 's first - round draft picks , which led to a rule change in the NBA , known as the `` Ted Stepien Rule '' , prohibiting teams from trading away first - round draft picks in consecutive years . The ensuing chaos had a major effect on both the Cavaliers ' on - court performance and lack of local support , losing over 50 games in three straight years . The 1981 -- 82 and 1982 -- 83 combined to lose 24 straight games , which at the time was the NBA 's all - time longest losing streak . George and Gordon Gund purchased the Cavaliers from Stepien in 1983 . The team was in a transition as they went through nine head coaches from 1980 to 1986 and only made the playoffs once in that period . During the 1986 offseason , the Cavaliers acquired Brad Daugherty , Mark Price , Ron Harper and Larry Nance . Those four players ( until Harper was later traded in 1989 for the rights to Danny Ferry ) formed the core of the team , under the direction of head coach Lenny Wilkens , that led the Cavaliers to eight playoff seasons in the next nine years , including three seasons of 50 or more wins . Their strongest team was the 1988 -- 89 team , who went 57 -- 25 en route to the 3rd seed in the East , but these Cavs lost the first round to the Chicago Bulls 3 -- 2 , thanks to a game - winning jump shot by Chicago 's Michael Jordan over Craig Ehlo . The Cavaliers entered into a period of decline from the mid-1990s through the early 2000s . The team appeared in the playoffs the next two years , but could not get past the first round . In the 1997 off - season , the team added Shawn Kemp and Wesley Person , as well as a rookie class that included Derek Anderson , Cedric Henderson , Žydrūnas Ilgauskas , and Brevin Knight . This team lost in the first round of the playoffs in 1998 , but the Cavaliers would not return to the playoffs until 2006 . In the early 2000s , the team added Andre Miller , Lamond Murray , Chris Mihm and Carlos Boozer , but could not make it to the playoffs . The 2002 -- 03 season saw the Cavaliers finish 17 -- 65 , tied for the worst record in the NBA . Cavaliers forward and Akron native LeBron James , who was the first overall pick of the 2003 NBA draft . A multiple - time NBA All - Star and winner of the Rookie of the Year Award and four NBA MVP awards , he led the team to its first NBA Finals in 2007 and their first championship in 2016 . The Cavaliers ' luck changed as they landed the number 1 pick in the 2003 NBA draft . With it , the team selected heralded forward and future NBA MVP LeBron James , an Akron native who had already risen to national stardom at St. Vincent - St. Mary High School . In 2005 , the team would be sold to businessman Dan Gilbert . That year , the team also hired head coach Mike Brown , and a new general manager , former Cavaliers forward Danny Ferry . Over the next few years , the Cavaliers built a team around James and Žydrūnas Ilgauskas by adding players including Drew Gooden , Larry Hughes , and Anderson Varajao . Under this new leadership , the Cavaliers made it to five straight playoffs from 2006 to 2010 , advancing to at least the second round each time . The 2006 -- 07 Cavaliers advanced to the franchise 's first NBA Finals , but were swept by the more experienced San Antonio Spurs . The 2008 -- 09 Cavaliers won a franchise record 66 games , including a franchise - best 39 -- 2 record at home , but lost the Eastern Conference Finals in six games to the Orlando Magic . For the 2009 -- 10 season , the Cavs added four - time NBA Champion and 15 - time All Star center Shaquille O'Neal and forward Antawn Jamison , but were not able to get out of the Eastern conference playoffs , losing in the second round to the Boston Celtics in six games . With the Cavaliers out of the playoffs , the focus then turned to James ' impending free agency . On July 8 , 2010 , James announced in a nationally televised one - hour special titled The Decision on ESPN that he would be signing with the Miami Heat . The repercussions of this announcement left many in the city of Cleveland infuriated and feeling betrayed . A number of LeBron James jerseys were burned , and the famous Nike `` Witness '' mural of James in downtown Cleveland was immediately taken down . The 2010 -- 11 season saw the Cavaliers rebuild after James ' departure . The biggest trade they made shipped Mo Williams and Jamario Moon to the Los Angeles Clippers for Baron Davis and a 1st - round draft pick . On the court , the Cavaliers finished 19 -- 63 , the second - worst record in the NBA . This 42 - win difference from the prior season is the biggest single - season drop in NBA history . This season also saw the Cavaliers lose 26 straight games , tying a record for the longest losing streak in major American sports history . The draft pick from the Clippers ended up becoming the 1st overall selection , which the Cavaliers used to select Duke point guard Kyrie Irving . The Cavaliers also selected Texas center Tristan Thompson with the 4th overall selection . The Cavaliers built through the draft the next few years . In the 2014 off - season , James , now a free agent , announced he was returning to the Cavaliers . The Cavaliers made several moves to build a championship - contender around James , most notably acquiring power forward Kevin Love from the Minnesota Timberwolves , which created what many fans and media referred to a `` Big Three '' with James , Love , and Irving . This trio would lead the Cavaliers to three consecutive finals appearances in 2015 , 2016 and 2017 . In each Finals appearance , they faced the Golden State Warriors . The Cavaliers would lose the 2015 Finals in six games , win the 2016 Finals in seven games , and lose the 2017 Finals in five games . Winning the 2016 NBA Championship marked the Cavaliers ' first title in franchise history , as they became the first team to come back from a 3 -- 1 deficit to win the Finals . It was also Cleveland 's first championship in major professional sports since the 1964 Browns , signaling the end of the so - called Cleveland sports curse . Season - by - season records Main article : List of Cleveland Cavaliers seasons Rivalries Chicago Bulls Main article : Bulls -- Cavaliers rivalry Golden State Warriors Main article : Cavaliers -- Warriors rivalry Logos and uniforms When the Cleveland Cavaliers debuted in the NBA in 1970 , the team 's original jerseys were wine and gold . The first jerseys featured the feathered treatment of the letter C in Cavaliers . In 1974 , they changed into the classic block lettering and checkerboard pattern that was synonymous to the ' Miracle of Richfield ' teams of 1976 . In 1980 , the gold shade was changed from yellowish to metallic , and the uniforms removed the checkerboard pattern and placed the stripes above Cleveland and below the uniform number , the only time the city name was featured in both home and away jerseys . The original logo was that of swashbuckling cavalier looking right with a sword pointing , surrounded by the team name and a basketball . A modernized swashbuckling cavalier logo was later used by the Cavaliers ' NBA Development League affiliates , the Canton Charge . The gold checkerboard uniforms were used as throwbacks in the 2004 -- 05 season to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the ' Miracle of Richfield ' team , while the gold ' Feathered C ' uniforms were used again in the 2008 -- 09 season , as a buildup to the then - upcoming 40th season of the Cavaliers . The ' Miracle of Richfield ' gold uniforms were used again in the 2015 -- 16 season on special `` Hardwood Classic '' nights to commemorate the Miracle of Richfield teams 's 40th anniversary celebration . Blue and orange In the 1983 -- 84 season , the colors were changed to burnt orange , blue and white . The first Cavaliers uniform under the new scheme featured the Cavaliers logo ( with a V in the shape of a hoop and circle above as basketball ) in an arched pattern and the player name sewn onto the back shoulder as a patch , with orange being the primary color in both the away and home uniforms . However , in the 1987 -- 88 season , orange was relegated as a secondary color , and blue was used instead as the primary for the away and home uniforms ; minor changes in the 1989 -- 90 season include the city name on the blue away uniforms . The drop shadows were also removed . The orange version of the uniform was used again in the 2006 -- 07 and 2016 -- 17 seasons , as part of the respective 20th and 30th anniversaries of the 1986 -- 87 team . The blue versions were worn in the 2009 -- 10 season as part of the franchise 's 40th anniversary and as a tribute to the 1988 -- 89 team . Blue , black and orange Coinciding with the move to Gund Arena in the 1994 -- 95 season , the Cavaliers changed logos and uniforms , adding black in addition to the already existing blue , orange and white colors . The uniforms feature a blue splash in the abdomen area in front . From 1994 to 1997 the word ' CAVS ' on the home uniforms was orange with black line , while the numbers are in black with white line , while ' CLEVELAND ' on the road uniforms was also orange with black lines , while the numbers are in white with a black line . From 1997 to 1999 the numbers and lettering were slightly tweaked . The word ' CAVS ' and the numbers on the home uniforms are in black with orange lines , while the word ' CLEVELAND ' and the numbers on the road uniforms are in white with orange lines . In the latter iteration , the blue splash was moved from the right leg to the left leg , surrounding ' CLEVELAND ' on the home uniforms and ' CAVS ' on the road uniforms , with a minor change in striping . In the 1999 -- 2000 season , the Cavaliers opted to go for a cleaner look , eliminating the splash and adding an orange and blue line that runs through the shorts . The home jerseys feature the team nickname and the uniform numbers are in blue with black lines , while on the away jerseys , they feature the city name and the uniform numbers in white with blue lines . They were used until the 2002 -- 03 season . The logo used in this period was of a basketball on its way down the net , surrounded by a black square and the word ' CAVS ' in blue with black line below . The `` new '' wine and gold LeBron James wearing the 2005 -- 2010 blue alternate uniform . The Cavaliers switched to a modified version of the team 's classic wine and gold scheme in the 2003 -- 04 season ( metallic gold and crimson shade of wine ) , with navy blue added to the color scheme . The home uniform was white , with the word `` Cavaliers '' in wine lettering with gold trim on the front , the player 's name in wine lettering with gold trim on the back , the player 's numbers in navy blue , and wine and gold trim on the sides . The team 's standard road uniform was wine - colored , with the word `` Cleveland '' , the player 's name , and the player 's numbers all in white lettering with gold trim , as well as white and gold trim on the sides. The team 's third / alternate uniform was navy blue with the word `` Cleveland '' , the player 's name , and the player 's numbers all in white lettering with gold trim , as well as a wine , gold , and navy blue checkerboard trim . The checkerboard trim was a tribute to the original Cavaliers uniforms from the 1970s . The logo used was a gold sword piercing to the words ' Cleveland Cavaliers ' in white and navy trim , with a wine basketball surrounding it . The return to original wine and gold The current secondary logo for the Cleveland Cavaliers . The current wordmark logo for the Cleveland Cavaliers . The Cavaliers debuted new uniforms before the start of the 2010 -- 11 NBA season , to coincide with the team returning to the original shades of wine and gold used from 1970 to 1983 . The home uniform is white with a wine and gold horizontal stripe trim on the collar , sleeves , waistband , and pant legs , `` Cavaliers '' ( in block style lettering ) in wine on the front of the jersey , with wine lettering for the name and number , and white shoes and socks . The road uniform is wine colored with the same stripe trim , `` Cleveland '' in gold on the front of the jersey , and gold lettering on the name and number , with black shoes and socks . An alternate third uniform was added for the 2012 -- 13 season , which is gold with `` CAVS '' in wine on the front of the jersey , wine lettering on the name and number , white socks and shoes , and the same stripe trim as the other uniforms . All uniforms have the team motto `` All For One , One for All '' stitched on the inside of the collar , and the secondary `` Sword C '' logo on the side of the pant legs . The logo used is the same piercing sword logo , updated to the classic wine and gold scheme . For the 2014 -- 15 season , a second alternate uniform ( and fourth uniform overall ) was added , which is navy blue ( a callback to the 1987 -- 94 style ) with `` CAVS '' and the player 's number in wine with gold trim , the player 's name on the back of the jersey in gold , and the `` Sword C '' logo on the side of the pant legs . Two alternate jerseys were unveiled prior to the start of the 2015 -- 16 season . The second wine uniform is similar to their regular road threads , except that it features the arched mid-1980s Cavs logo and white numerals in gold trim . A black sleeved uniform features the wine ' C ' logo in front , and was famously worn in the title - clinching Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals . Their new logos for the 2017 -- 18 season newly include the color black to commemorate the victory . Cavfanatic uniforms From the 2008 -- 09 to the 2011 -- 12 seasons , the Cavaliers wore special `` mash - up '' uniforms ( combining the style from one era with the color scheme of another ) on select `` Cavs Fanatic '' Nights . 2008 -- 09 : the team wore the original `` Feathered C '' uniforms but with the 1994 -- 2003 shade of blue combined with the classic wine and gold shade . 2009 -- 10 : the team wore their 1987 -- 89 uniforms , but in the classic wine and gold from the ' Miracle of Richfield ' era . 2010 -- 11 : the team wore the 2005 -- 10 checkerboard alternate uniforms , but in the 1994 -- 2003 color scheme of blue , black and orange . 2011 -- 12 : the team wore navy uniforms with wine and gold lettering ; these are similar to their current navy alternates but with a different jersey and shorts striping . Nike styles Beginning in the 2017 -- 18 season , all NBA teams will wear Nike - designed white `` Association '' uniforms and `` Icon '' uniforms in the respective team 's primary color . For the Cavs , their Icon uniforms will be wine colored with `` Cleveland '' across the front and the player 's name in gold lettering with black numerals both in the front and in the back . The white Association uniforms will have `` Cavs '' across the front , with wine color letters and numbers both front and back . All teams have the choice of which uniform to wear for any home game . Also new will be a small Goodyear Tires wingfoot logo on the Cavs uniforms , as part of a sponsorship deal with the team . Also new for 2017 - 2018 , Nike unveiled that each team will have a third , alternate uniform called the `` Statement '' uniform . The Cavaliers ' Statement uniform will be black with dark gray pinstripes , a wine colored `` C '' trimmed in gold on the front , names in gold letters on the back , wine colored / gold trimmed numbers on the front and back , and gold colored Nike and Goodyear logos on the front . The black uniform is a nod to the team 's former black sleeved jerseys that they wore when they won Game 7 in the 2016 Finals .

( left ) and Moondog ( right ) Mid 1990s / early 2000s - era mascot Whammer The Cavaliers have two official mascots , Moondog and Sir C.C. The character has a unique connection not just to the team , but to the city and surrounding area . Cleveland is known worldwide as the rock and roll city , due to Cleveland radio disc jockey Alan Freed , who popularized the phrase `` rock and roll '' , breaking new ground and sparking a music explosion . Freed called himself the `` Moondog '' , and his listeners were `` Moondoggers '' . When the Cavaliers looked to create a new mascot which represents the city , Moondog was a natural selection . Moondog was an NBA All - Star selection in 2003 and 2004 . His first appearance was on November 5 , 2003 . Sir C.C. , a swashbuckler character , debuted during a game on November 27 , 2010 . During the 1990s and early 2000s , the Cavs had a polar bear mascot named Whammer , who was introduced November 9 , 1995 . He still makes occasional appearances throughout the season at Cavaliers games . References Jump up ^ `` NBA.com/Stats -- Cleveland Cavaliers seasons '' . National Basketball Association .

Tour de France
Tour de France - Wikipedia Tour de France This article is about the French national multi-day bicycle stage race .

Tour de France Race details Date July Region France and nearby countries Local name ( s ) Le Tour de France ( in French ) Nickname ( s ) La Grande Boucle Discipline Road Competition UCI World Tour Type Stage race ( Grand Tour ) Organiser Amaury Sport Organisation Race director Christian Prudhomme History First edition 1 July 1903 ; 115 years ago ( 1903 - 07 - 01 ) Editions 105 ( as of 2018 ) First winner Maurice Garin ( FRA ) Most wins Jacques Anquetil ( FRA ) Eddy Merckx ( BEL ) Bernard Hinault ( FRA ) Miguel Indurain ( ESP ) ( 5 wins each ) Most recent Geraint Thomas ( GBR ) The Tour de France ( French pronunciation : ​ ( tuʁ də fʁɑ̃s ) ) is an annual men 's multiple stage bicycle race primarily held in France , while also occasionally passing through nearby countries . Like the other Grand Tours ( the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a España ) , it consists of 21 day - long stages over the course of 23 days . The race was first organized in 1903 to increase sales for the newspaper L'Auto and is currently run by the Amaury Sport Organisation . The race has been held annually since its first edition in 1903 except when it was stopped for the two World Wars . As the Tour gained prominence and popularity , the race was lengthened and its reach began to extend around the globe . Participation expanded from a primarily French field , as riders from all over the world began to participate in the race each year . The Tour is a UCI World Tour event , which means that the teams that compete in the race are mostly UCI WorldTeams , with the exception of the teams that the organizers invite . Traditionally , the race is held primarily in the month of July . While the route changes each year , the format of the race stays the same with the appearance of time trials , the passage through the mountain chains of the Pyrenees and the Alps , and the finish on the Champs - Élysées in Paris . The modern editions of the Tour de France consist of 21 day - long segments ( stages ) over a 23 - day period and cover around 3,500 kilometres ( 2,200 mi ) . The race alternates between clockwise and counterclockwise circuits of France . There are usually between 20 and 22 teams , with eight riders in each . All of the stages are timed to the finish ; the riders ' times are compounded with their previous stage times . The rider with the lowest cumulative finishing times is the leader of the race and wears the yellow jersey . While the general classification garners the most attention , there are other contests held within the Tour : the points classification for the sprinters , the mountains classification for the climbers , young rider classification for riders under the age of 26 , and the team classification for the fastest teams . Achieving a stage win also provides prestige , often accomplished by a team 's cycling sprinter specialist .

The roots of the Tour de France trace back to the emergence of two rival sports newspapers in the country . On one hand was Le Vélo , the first and the largest daily sports newspaper in France which sold 80,000 copies a day . On the other was L'Auto , which had been set - up by journalists and business - people including Comte Jules - Albert de Dion , Adolphe Clément , and Édouard Michelin in 1899 . The rival paper emerged following disagreements over the Dreyfus Affair , a cause célèbre ( in which de Dion was implicated ) that divided France at the end of the 19th century over the innocence of Alfred Dreyfus , a French army officer convicted -- though later exonerated -- of selling military secrets to the Germans . The new newspaper appointed Henri Desgrange as the editor . He was a prominent cyclist and owner with Victor Goddet of the velodrome at the Parc des Princes . De Dion knew him through his cycling reputation , through the books and cycling articles that he had written , and through press articles he had written for the Clément tyre company . L'Auto was not the success its backers wanted . Stagnating sales lower than the rival it was intended to surpass led to a crisis meeting on 20 November 1902 on the middle floor of L'Auto 's office at 10 Rue du Faubourg Montmartre , Paris . The last to speak was the most junior there , the chief cycling journalist , a 26 - year - old named Géo Lefèvre . Desgrange had poached him from Giffard 's paper . Lefèvre suggested a six - day race of the sort popular on the track but all around France . Long - distance cycle races were a popular means to sell more newspapers , but nothing of the length that Lefèvre suggested had been attempted . If it succeeded , it would help L'Auto match its rival and perhaps put it out of business . It could , as Desgrange said , `` nail Giffard 's beak shut . '' Desgrange and Lefèvre discussed it after lunch . Desgrange was doubtful but the paper 's financial director , Victor Goddet , was enthusiastic . He handed Desgrange the keys to the company safe and said : `` Take whatever you need . '' L'Auto announced the race on 19 January 1903 . The first Tour de France ( 1903 ) ( edit ) Main article : 1903 Tour de France Maurice Garin , winner of the first Tour de France standing on the right . The man on the left is possibly Leon Georget ( 1903 ) The first Tour de France was staged in 1903 . The plan was a five - stage race from 31 May to 5 July , starting in Paris and stopping in Lyon , Marseille , Bordeaux , and Nantes before returning to Paris . Toulouse was added later to break the long haul across southern France from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic . Stages would go through the night and finish next afternoon , with rest days before riders set off again . But this proved too daunting and the costs too great for most and only 15 competitors had entered . Desgrange had never been wholly convinced and he came close to dropping the idea . Instead , he cut the length to 19 days , changed the dates to 1 to 19 July , and offered a daily allowance to those who averaged at least 20 kilometres per hour ( 12 mph ) on all the stages , equivalent to what a rider would have expected to earn each day had he worked in a factory . He also cut the entry fee from 20 to 10 francs and set the first prize at 12,000 francs and the prize for each day 's winner at 3,000 francs . The winner would thereby win six times what most workers earned in a year . That attracted between 60 and 80 entrants -- the higher number may have included serious inquiries and some who dropped out -- among them not just professionals but amateurs , some unemployed , and some simply adventurous . Desgrange seems not to have forgotten the Dreyfus Affair that launched his race and raised the passions of his backers . He announced his new race on 1 July 1903 by citing the writer Émile Zola , whose open letter J'Accuse ... ! led to Dreyfus 's acquittal , establishing the florid style he used henceforth . The first Tour de France started almost outside the Café Reveil - Matin at the junction of the Melun and Corbeil roads in the village of Montgeron . It was waved away by the starter , Georges Abran , at 3 : 16 p.m. on 1 July 1903 . L'Auto had n't featured the race on its front page that morning . Among the competitors were the eventual winner , Maurice Garin , his well - built rival Hippolyte Aucouturier , the German favourite Josef Fischer , and a collection of adventurers including one competing as `` Samson '' . Many riders dropped out of the race after completing the initial stages as the physical effort the tour required was just too much . Only a mere 24 entrants remained at the end of the fourth stage . The race finished on the edge of Paris at Ville d'Avray , outside the Restaurant du Père Auto , before a ceremonial ride into Paris and several laps of the Parc des Princes . Garin dominated the race , winning the first and last two stages , at 25.68 kilometres per hour ( 15.96 mph ) . The last rider , Millocheau , finished 64h 47m 22s behind him . L'Auto 's mission was accomplished as throughout the race circulation of the publication doubled , making the race something much larger than Desgrange had ever hoped for . 1904 -- 1939 ( edit ) Such was the passion that the first Tour created in spectators and riders that Desgrange said the 1904 Tour de France would be the last . Cheating was rife and riders were beaten up by rival fans as they neared the top of the col de la République , sometimes called the col du Grand Bois , outside St - Étienne . The leading riders , including the winner Maurice Garin , were disqualified , though it took the Union Vélocipèdique de France until 30 November to make the decision . McGann says the UVF waited so long `` ... well aware of the passions aroused by the race . '' Desgrange 's opinion of the fighting and cheating showed in the headline of his reaction in L'Auto : THE END . Desgrange 's despair did not last . By the following spring he was planning another Tour , longer at 11 stages rather than 6 -- and this time all in daylight to make any cheating more obvious . Stages in 1905 began between 3 am and 7 : 30 am . The race captured the imagination . L'Auto's circulation rose from 25,000 to 65,000 ; by 1908 it was a quarter of a million . The Tour returned after its suspension during World War One and continued to grow , with circulation of L'Auto reaching 500,000 by 1923 . The record claimed by Desgrange was 854,000 during the 1933 Tour . Le Vélo , meanwhile , went out of business in 1904 . Desgrange and his Tour invented bicycle stage racing . Desgrange experimented with different ways of judging the winner . Initially he used total accumulated time ( as used in the modern Tour de France ) but from 1906 to 1912 by points for placings each day . Desgrange saw problems in judging both by time and by points . By time , a rider coping with a mechanical problem -- which the rules insisted he repair alone -- could lose so much time that it cost him the race . Equally , riders could finish so separated that time gained or lost on one or two days could decide the whole race . Judging the race by points removed over-influential time differences but discouraged competitors from riding hard . It made no difference whether they finished fast or slow or separated by seconds or hours , so they were inclined to ride together at a relaxed pace until close to the line , only then disputing the final placings that would give them points . 1936 Tour de France The format changed over time . The Tour originally ran around the perimeter of France . Cycling was an endurance sport and the organisers realised the sales they would achieve by creating supermen of the competitors . Night riding was dropped after the second Tour in 1904 , when there had been persistent cheating when judges could not see riders . That reduced the daily and overall distance but the emphasis remained on endurance . Desgrange said his ideal race would be so hard that only one rider would make it to Paris . The first mountain stages ( in the Pyrenees ) appeared in 1910 . Early tours had long multi-day stages , with the format settling on 15 stages from 1910 until 1924 . After this , stages were gradually shortened , such that by 1936 there were as many as three stages in a single day . Desgrange initially preferred to see the Tour as a race of individuals . The first Tours were open to whoever wanted to compete . Most riders were in teams that looked after them . The private entrants were called touriste - routiers -- tourists of the road -- from 1923 and were allowed to take part provided they make no demands on the organisers . Some of the Tour 's most colourful characters have been touriste - routiers . One finished each day 's race and then performed acrobatic tricks in the street to raise the price of a hotel . Until 1925 Desgrange forbade team members from pacing each other . The 1927 and 1928 Tours , however , consisted mainly of team time - trials , an unsuccessful experiment which sought to avoid a proliferation of sprint finishes on flat stages . Desgrange was a traditionalist with equipment . Until 1930 he demanded that riders mend their bicycles without help and that they use the same bicycle from start to end . Exchanging a damaged bicycle for another was allowed only in 1923 . Desgrange stood against the use of multiple gears and for many years insisted riders use wooden rims , fearing the heat of braking while coming down mountains would melt the glue that held the tires on metal rims ( they were finally allowed in 1937 ) . By the end of the 1920s , Desgrange believed he could not beat what he believed were the underhand tactics of bike factories . When the Alcyon team contrived to get Maurice De Waele to win even though he was sick , he said `` My race has been won by a corpse '' . In 1930 Desgrange again attempted to take control of the Tour from teams , insisting competitors enter in national teams rather than trade teams and that competitors ride plain yellow bicycles that he would provide , without a maker 's name . There was no place for individuals in the post-1930s teams and so Desgrange created regional teams , generally from France , to take in riders who would not otherwise have qualified . The original touriste - routiers mostly disappeared but some were absorbed into regional teams . In 1936 Desgrange had a prostate operation . At the time , two operations were needed ; the Tour de France was due to fall between them . Desgrange persuaded his surgeon to let him follow the race . The second day proved too much and , in a fever at Charleville , he retired to his château at Beauvallon . Desgrange died at home on the Mediterranean coast on 16 August 1940 . The race was taken over by his deputy , Jacques Goddet . The Tour was again disrupted by War after 1939 , and did not return until 1947 . 1947 -- 1969 ( edit ) Jacques Goddet memorial at the top of the Col du Tourmalet In 1944 , L'Auto was closed -- its doors nailed shut -- and its belongings , including the Tour , sequestrated by the state for publishing articles too close to the Germans . Rights to the Tour were therefore owned by the government . Jacques Goddet was allowed to publish another daily sports paper , L'Équipe , but there was a rival candidate to run the Tour : a consortium of Sports and Miroir Sprint . Each organised a candidate race . L'Équipe and Le Parisien Libéré had La Course du Tour de France and Sports and Miroir Sprint had La Ronde de France . Both were five stages , the longest the government would allow because of shortages . L'Équipe's race was better organised and appealed more to the public because it featured national teams that had been successful before the war , when French cycling was at a high . L'Équipe was given the right to organise the 1947 Tour de France . However , L'Équipe 's finances were never sound and Goddet accepted an advance by Émilion Amaury , who had supported his bid to run the post-war Tour . Amaury was a newspaper magnate whose condition was that his sports editor , Félix Lévitan should join Goddet for the Tour . The two worked together , Goddet running the sporting side and Lévitan the financial . On the Tour 's return , the format of the race settled on between 20 -- 25 stages . Most stages would last one day but the scheduling of ' split ' stages continued well in to the 1980s . 1953 saw the introduction of the Green Jersey ' Points ' competition . National teams contested the Tour until 1961 . The teams were of different sizes . Some nations had more than one team and some were mixed in with others to make up the number . National teams caught the public imagination but had a snag : that riders might normally have been in rival trade teams the rest of the season . The loyalty of riders was sometimes questionable , within and between teams . Sponsors were always unhappy about releasing their riders into anonymity for the biggest race of the year , as riders in national teams wore the colours of their country and a small cloth panel on their chest that named the team for which they normally rode . The situation became critical at the start of the 1960s . Sales of bicycles had fallen and bicycle factories were closing . There was a risk , the trade said , that the industry would die if factories were not allowed the publicity of the Tour de France . The Tour returned to trade teams in 1962 . In the same year , Émilion Amaury , owner of le Parisien Libéré , became financially involved in the Tour . He made Félix Lévitan co-organizer of the Tour , and it was decided that Levitan would focus on the financial issues , and Jacques Goddet on the sporting issues . The Tour de France was meant for professional cyclists , but in 1961 the organisation started the Tour de l'Avenir the amateur version . Doping had become a problem culminating in the death of Tom Simpson in 1967 , after which riders went on strike , though the organisers suspected sponsors provoked them . The Union Cycliste Internationale introduced limits to daily and overall distances , imposed rest days and tests were introduced for riders . It was then impossible to follow the frontiers , and the Tour increasingly zig - zagged across the country , sometimes with unconnected days ' races linked by train , while still maintaining some sort of loop . The Tour returned to national teams for 1967 and 1968 as `` an experiment '' . The Tour returned to trade teams in 1969 with a suggestion that national teams could come back every few years , but this has not happened since . 1969 -- 1987 ( edit ) In the early 1970s the race was dominated by Eddy Merckx , who won the General Classification five times , the Mountains Classification twice , the Points Classification three times and a record 34 stages . During this era race director Felix Lévitan brought in a new commercial era of the Tour , beginning to recruit sponsors , sometimes accepting prizes in kind if he could not get cash . He introduced the finish of the Tour at the Avenue des Champs - Élysées in 1975 , the same year the polka - dot jersey was introduced for the winner of the Mountains Classification . He helped drive an internationalization of the Tour de France , and cycling in general . In 1982 Sean Kelly of Ireland ( points ) and Phil Anderson of Australia ( young rider ) became the first winners of any Tour classifications from outside cycling 's Continental Europe heartlands , while Lévitan was influential in facilitating the participation in the 1983 Tour by amateur riders from the Eastern Bloc and Colombia . In 1984 , for the first time , the Société du Tour de France organized the Tour de France Féminin , a version for women . It was run in the same weeks as the men 's version , and won by Marianne Martin . Greg LeMond of the US became the first non-European winner in the 1986 race . During his training , LeMond teamed up with exercise physiologist Dan Zeman to bring science and technology to the forefront of the professional cycling world . While the global awareness and popularity of the Tour grew during this time , its finances became stretched . Goddet and Lévitan continued to clash over the running of the race . Lévitan launched the Tour of America , as a precursor to his plans to take the Tour de France to the US . The Tour of America lost a lot of money , and it appeared to have been cross-financed by the Tour de France . In the years before 1987 , Lévitan 's position had always been protected by Émilien Amaury , the then owner of ASO , but recently , Émilien Amaury had retired and his son Philippe Amaury was now responsible . When Lévitan arrived at his office on 17 March 1987 , he found that his doors were locked and he was fired . The organisation of the 1987 Tour de France was taken over by Jean - François Naquet - Radiguet . He was not successful in acquiring more funds , and was fired within one year . Since 1988 ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( July 2015 ) Months before the start of the 1988 Tour , director Jean - François Naquet - Radiguet was replaced by Xavier Louy . In 1988 the Tour was organised by Jean - Pierre Courcol , the director of L'Équipe , then in 1989 by Jean - Pierre Carenso and then by Jean - Marie Leblanc , who in 1989 had been race director . The former television presenter Christian Prudhomme -- he commentated on the Tour among other events -- replaced Leblanc in 2007 , having been assistant director for three years . In 1993 ownership of L'Équipe moved to the Amaury Group , which formed Amaury Sport Organisation ( ASO ) to oversee its sports operations , although the Tour itself is operated by its subsidiary the Société du Tour de France . ASO employs around 70 people full - time , in an office facing but not connected to L'Équipe in the Issy - les - Moulineaux area of outer western Paris . That number expands to about 220 during the race itself , not including 500 contractors employed to move barriers , erect stages , signpost the route and other work . ASO now also operate several other major bike races throughout the year . Classifications ( edit ) The oldest and main competition in the Tour de France is known as the `` general classification '' , for which the yellow jersey is awarded : the winner of this is said to have won the race . A few riders from each team aim to win overall but there are three further competitions to draw riders of all specialties : points , mountains , and a classification for young riders with general classification aspirations . The leader of each of the aforementioned classifications wears a distinctive jersey , with riders leading multiple classifications wearing the jersey of the most prestigious that he leads . In addition to these four classifications , there are several minor and discontinued classifications that are competed for during the race . General classification ( edit ) Main article : General classification in the Tour de France See also : List of Tour de France general classification winners and Yellow jersey statistics Fabian Cancellara pictured at the 2010 Tour de France . He is the rider who has worn the yellow jersey as leader of the general classification for the most days without ever winning the race . The oldest and most sought after classification in the Tour de France is the general classification . All of the stages are timed to the finish . The riders ' times are compounded with their previous stage times ; so the rider with the lowest aggregate time is the leader of the race . The leader is determined after each stage 's conclusion : he gains the privilege to wear the yellow jersey , presented on a podium in the stage 's finishing town , for the next stage . If a rider is leading more than one classification that awards a jersey , he wears the yellow one , since the general classification is the most important one in the race . Between 1905 and 1912 inclusive , in response to concerns about rider cheating in the 1904 race , the general classification was awarded according to a point - based system based on their placings in each stage , and the rider with the lowest total of points after the Tour 's conclusion was the winner . The leader in the first Tour de France was awarded a green armband . The yellow jersey ( The color yellow was chosen as the magazine that created the Tour , L'Auto , printed its newspapers on yellow paper ) , was added to the race in the 1919 edition and it has since become a symbol of the Tour de France . The first rider to wear the yellow jersey was Eugène Christophe . Each team brings multiple yellow jerseys in advance of the Tour in case one of their riders becomes the overall leader of the race . Riders usually try to make the extra effort to keep the jersey for as long as possible in order to get more publicity for the team and its sponsors . Eddy Merckx has worn the yellow jersey for 96 stages , which is more than any other rider in the history of the Tour de France . Four riders have won the general classification five times in their career : Jacques Anquetil , Eddy Merckx , Bernard Hinault , and Miguel Indurain . Mountains classification ( edit ) Main article : Mountains classification in the Tour de France Richard Virenque pictured at the 2003 Tour de France wearing the polka dot jersey . He won the mountains classification a record seven times . The mountains classification is the second oldest jersey awarding classification in the Tour de France . The mountains classification was added to the Tour de France in the 1933 edition and was first won by Vicente Trueba . Prizes for the classification were first awarded in 1934 . During stages of the race containing climbs , points are awarded to the first riders to reach the top of each categorized climb , with points available for up to the first 10 riders , depending on the classification of the climb . Climbs are classified according to the steepness and length of that particular hill , with more points available for harder climbs . The classification was preceded by the meilleur grimpeur ( English : best climber ) which was awarded by the organising newspaper l'Auto to a cyclist who completed each race . The classification awarded no jersey to the leader until the 1975 Tour de France , when the organizers decided to award a distinctive white jersey with red dots to the leader . The climbers ' jersey is worn by the rider who , at the start of each stage , has the largest number of climbing points . If a rider leads two or more of classifications , the climbers ' jersey is worn by the rider in second , or third , place in that contest . At the end of the Tour , the rider holding the most climbing points wins the classification . Some riders may race with the aim of winning this particular competition , while others who gain points early on may shift their focus to the classification during the race . The Tour has five categories for ranking the mountains the race covers . The scale ranges from category 4 , the easiest , to hors catégorie , the hardest . During his career Richard Virenque won the mountains classification a record seven times . The point distribution for the mountains is as follows : Type 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th Hors catégorie 25 20 16 14 12 10 8 6 First Category 10 8 6 Second Category 5 Third Category Fourth Category Points awarded are doubled for finishes that are of category two or above . Points classification ( edit ) Main article : Points classification in the Tour de France Alessandro Petacchi in the green jersey The points classification is the third oldest of the currently awarded jersey classifications . It was introduced in the 1953 Tour de France and was first won by Fritz Schär . The classification was added to draw the participation of the sprinters as well as celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Tour . Points are given to the first 15 riders to finish a stage , with an additional set of points given to the first 15 riders to cross a pre-determined ' sprint ' point during the route of each stage . The point classification leader green jersey is worn by the rider who at the start of each stage , has the greatest number of points . In the first years , the cyclist received penalty points for not finishing with a high place , so the cyclist with the fewest points was awarded the green jersey . From 1959 on , the system was changed so the cyclists were awarded points for high place finishes ( with first place getting the most points , and lower placings getting successively fewer points ) , so the cyclist with the most points was awarded the green jersey . The number of points awarded varies depending on the type of stage , with flat stages awarding the most points at the finish and time trials and high mountain stages awarding the fewest points at the finish . This increases the likelihood of a sprinter winning the points classification , though other riders can be competitive for the classification if they have a sufficient number of high - place finishes . The winner of the classification is the rider with the most points at the end of the Tour . In case of a tie , the leader is determined by the number of stage wins , then the number of intermediate sprint victories , and finally , the rider 's standing in the general classification . The classification has been won a record six times by Erik Zabel and Peter Sagan . The first year the points classification was used it was sponsored by La Belle Jardinière , a lawn mower producer , and the jersey was made green . In 1968 the jersey was changed to red to please the sponsor . However , the color was changed back the following year . For almost 25 years the classification was sponsored by Pari Mutuel Urbain , a state betting company . However they announced in November 2014 that they would not be continuing their sponsorship , and in March 2015 it was revealed that the green jersey would now be sponsored by Czech car manufacturer Škoda . As of 2015 , the points awarded stands as : Type 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th Flat stage finish 50 30 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 7 6 5 Medium mountain stage finish 30 25 22 19 17 15 13 11 9 High mountain stage finish 20 17 15 13 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 Individual time trial Intermediate sprint Young rider classification ( edit ) Main article : Young rider classification in the Tour de France Andy Schleck in the white jersey The leader of the classification is determined the same way as the general classification , with the riders ' times being added up after each stage and the eligible rider with lowest aggregate time is dubbed the leader . The Young rider classification is restricted to the riders that are under the age of 26 . Originally the classification was restricted to neo-professionals -- riders that are in their first three years of professional racing -- until 1983 . In 1983 , the organizers made it so that only first time riders were eligible for the classification . In 1987 , the organizers changed the rules of the classification to what they are today . This classification was added to the Tour de France in the 1975 edition , with Francesco Moser being the first to win the classification after placing seventh overall . The Tour de France awards a white jersey to the leader of the classification , although this was not done between 1989 and 2000 . Four riders have won both the young rider classification and the general classification in the same year : Laurent Fignon ( 1983 ) , Jan Ullrich ( 1997 ) , Alberto Contador ( 2007 ) , and Andy Schleck ( 2010 ) . Two riders have won the young rider classification three times in their respective careers : Jan Ullrich and Andy Schleck . As of 2015 Jersey sponsor is Optician company Krys , replacing Škoda who moved to the Green Jersey . Minor classifications and prizes ( edit ) The prix de la combativité goes to the rider who most animates the day , usually by trying to break clear of the field . The most combative rider wears a number printed white - on - red instead of black - on - white next day . An award goes to the most aggressive rider throughout the Tour . Already in 1908 a sort of combativity award was offered , when Sports Populaires and L'Education Physique created Le Prix du Courage , 100 francs and a silver gilt medal for `` the rider having finished the course , even if unplaced , who is particularly distinguished for the energy he has used . '' The modern competition started in 1958 . In 1959 , a Super Combativity award for the most combative cyclist of the Tour was awarded . It was initially not awarded every year , but since 1981 it has been given annually . Eddy Merckx has the most wins ( 4 ) for the overall award . The team classification is assessed by adding the time of each team 's best three riders each day . The competition does not have its own jersey but since 2006 the leading team has worn numbers printed black - on - yellow . Until 1990 , the leading team would wear yellow caps . As of 2012 , the riders of the leading team wear yellow helmets . During the era of national teams , France and Belgium won 10 times each . From 1973 up to 1988 , there was also a team classification based on points ( stage classification ) ; members of the leading team would wear green caps . Historical classifications ( edit ) There has been an intermediate sprints classification , which from 1984 awarded a red jersey for points awarded to the first three to pass intermediate points during the stage . These sprints also scored points towards the points classification and bonuses towards the general classification . The intermediate sprints classification with its red jersey was abolished in 1989 , but the intermediate sprints have remained , offering points for the points classification and , until 2007 , time bonuses for the general classification . From 1968 there was a combination classification , scored on a points system based on standings in the general , points and mountains classifications . The design was originally white , then a patchwork with areas resembling each individual jersey design . This was also abolished in 1989 . Lanterne rouge ( edit ) The rider who has taken most time is called the lanterne rouge ( red lantern , as in the red light at the back of a vehicle so it can be seen in the dark ) and in past years sometimes carried a small red light beneath his saddle . Such was sympathy that he could command higher fees in the races that previously followed the Tour . In 1939 and 1948 the organisers excluded the last rider every day , to encourage more competitive racing . Prizes ( edit ) Prize money in Euros in the Tour de France , not corrected for inflation . Prize money has always been awarded . From 20,000 francs the first year , prize money has increased each year , although from 1976 to 1987 the first prize was an apartment offered by a race sponsor . The first prize in 1988 was a car , a studio - apartment , a work of art , and 500,000 francs in cash . Prizes only in cash returned in 1990 . Prizes and bonuses are awarded for daily placings and final placings at the end of the race . In 2009 , the winner received 450,000 € , while each of the 21 stage winners won 8,000 € ( 10,000 € for the team time - trial stage ) . The winners of the points classification and mountains classification each win 25,000 € , the young rider competition and the combativity prize 20,000 € ; the winner of the team classification ( calculated by adding the cumulative times of the best three riders in each team ) receives 50 000 € . The Souvenir Henri Desgrange , in memory of the founder of the Tour , is awarded to the first rider over the Col du Galibier where his monument stands , or to the first rider over the highest col in the Tour . A similar award , the Souvenir Jacques Goddet , is made at the summit of the Col du Tourmalet , at the memorial to Jacques Goddet , Desgrange 's successor . Stages ( edit ) The modern tour typically has 21 stages , one per day . Mass - start stages ( edit ) A collected peloton in the 2006 Tour de France The Tour directors categorise mass - stage starts into ' flat ' , ' hilly ' , or ' mountain ' . This affects the points awarded in the sprint classification , whether the 3 kilometer rule is operational , and the permitted disqualification time in which riders must finish ( which is the winners ' time plus a pre-determined percentage of that time ) . Time bonuses of 10 , 6 , and 4 seconds are awarded to the first three finishers , though this was not done from 2008 to 2014 . Bonuses were previously also awarded to winners of intermediate sprints . Time trials ( edit ) Bradley Wiggins riding the stage 9 individual time trial of the 2012 Tour de France The first time trial in the Tour was between La Roche - sur - Yon and Nantes ( 80 km ) in 1934 . The first stage in modern Tours is often a short trial , a prologue , to decide who wears yellow on the opening day . The first prologue was in 1967 . The 1988 event , at La Baule , was called `` la préface '' . There are usually two or three time trials . The final time trial has sometimes been the final stage , more recently often the penultimate stage . Notable stages ( edit ) Altitude profile of the Alpe d'Huez climb Since 1975 the race has finished with laps of the Champs - Élysées . This stage rarely challenges the leader because it is flat and the leader usually has too much time in hand to be denied . But in 1987 , Pedro Delgado broke away on the Champs to challenge the 40 - second lead held by Stephen Roche . He and Roche finished in the peloton and Roche won the Tour . In modern times , there tends to be a gentlemen 's agreement : while the points classification is still contended if possible , the overall classification is not fought over ; because of this , it is not uncommon for the de facto winner of the overall classification to ride into Paris holding a glass of champagne . In 1989 the last stage was a time trial . Greg LeMond overtook Laurent Fignon to win by eight seconds , the closest margin in the Tour 's history . The climb of Alpe d'Huez has become one of the more noted mountain stages . During the 2004 Tour de France it was the scene of a 15.5 kilometres ( 9.6 mi ) mountain time trial on the 16th stage . Riders complained of abusive spectators who threatened their progress up the climb . Mont Ventoux is often claimed to be the hardest in the Tour because of the harsh conditions . Another notable mountain stage frequently featured climbs the Col du Tourmalet , the most visited mountain in the history of the Tour . Col du Galibier is the most visited mountain in the Alps . The 2011 Tour de France stage to Galibier marked the 100th anniversary of the mountain in the Tour and also boasted the highest finish altitude ever : 2,645 metres ( 8,678 ft ) . Some mountain stages have become memorable because of the weather . An example is a stage in 1996 Tour de France from Val - d'Isère to Sestriere . A snowstorm at the start area led to a shortening of the stage from 190 kilometres ( 120 mi ) to just 46 kilometres ( 29 mi ) . To host a stage start or finish brings prestige and business to a town . The prologue and first stage ( Grand Départ ) are particularly prestigious . The race may start with a prologue ( too short to go between towns ) in which case the start of the next day 's racing , which would be considered stage 1 , would usually be in the same town . In 2007 director Christian Prudhomme said that `` in general , for a period of five years we have the Tour start outside France three times and within France twice . '' Advertising caravan ( edit ) Vehicles from the 2014 Tour de France Publicity Caravan With the switch to the use of national teams in 1930 , the costs of accommodating riders fell to the organizers instead of the sponsors and Henri Desgrange raised the money by allowing advertisers to precede the race . The procession of often colourfully decorated trucks and cars became known as the publicity caravan . It formalised an existing situation , companies having started to follow the race . The first to sign to precede the Tour was the chocolate company , Menier , one of those who had followed the race . Its head of publicity , Paul Thévenin , had first put the idea to Desgrange . It paid 50,000 francs . Preceding the race was more attractive to advertisers because spectators gathered by the road long before the race or could be attracted from their houses . Advertisers following the race found that many who had watched the race had already gone home . Menier handed out tons of chocolate in that first year of preceding the race , as well as 500,000 policemen 's hats printed with the company 's name . The success led to the caravan 's existence being formalised the following year . The caravan was at its height between 1930 and the mid-1960s , before television and especially television advertising was established in France . Advertisers competed to attract public attention . Motorcycle acrobats performed for the Cinzano apéritif company and a toothpaste maker , and an accordionist , Yvette Horner , became one of the most popular sights as she performed on the roof of a Citroën Traction Avant . The modern Tour restricts the excesses to which advertisers are allowed to go but at first anything was allowed . The writer Pierre Bost lamented : `` This caravan of 60 gaudy trucks singing across the countryside the virtues of an apéritif , a make of underpants or a dustbin is a shameful spectacle . It bellows , it plays ugly music , it 's sad , it 's ugly , it smells of vulgarity and money . '' Advertisers pay the Société du Tour de France approximately € 150,000 to place three vehicles in the caravan . Some have more . On top of that come the more considerable costs of the commercial samples that are thrown to the crowd and the cost of accommodating the drivers and the staff -- frequently students -- who throw them . The number of items has been estimated at 11 million , each person in the procession giving out 3,000 to 5,000 items a day . A bank , GAN , gave out 170,000 caps , 80,000 badges , 60,000 plastic bags , and 535,000 copies of its race newspaper in 1994 . Together , they weighed 32 tonnes ( 31 long tons ; 35 short tons ) . The vehicles also have to be decorated on the morning of each stage and , because they must return to ordinary highway standards , disassembled after each stage . Numbers vary but there are normally around 250 vehicles each year . Their order on the road is established by contract , the leading vehicles belonging to the largest sponsors . The procession sets off two hours before the start and then regroups to precede the riders by an hour and a half . It spreads 20 -- 25 kilometres ( 12 -- 16 mi ) and takes 40 minutes to pass at between 20 kilometres per hour ( 12 mph ) and 60 kilometres per hour ( 37 mph ) . Vehicles travel in groups of five . Their position is logged by GPS and from an aircraft and organised on the road by the caravan director -- Jean - Pierre Lachaud -- an assistant , three motorcyclists , two radio technicians , and a breakdown and medical crew . Six motorcyclists from the Garde Républicaine , the élite of the gendarmerie , ride with them . Politics ( edit ) The first three Tours from 1903 -- 1905 stayed within France . The 1906 race went into Alsace - Lorraine , territory annexed by the German Empire in 1871 after the Franco - Prussian War . Passage was secured through a meeting at Metz between Desgrange 's collaborator , Alphonse Steinès , and the German governor . No teams from Italy , Germany , or Spain rode in 1939 because of tensions preceding the Second World War ( after German assistance to the Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War it was widely expected Spain would join Germany in a European war , though this did not come to pass ) . Henri Desgrange planned a Tour for 1940 , after war had started but before France had been invaded . The route , approved by military authorities , included a route along the Maginot Line . Teams would have been drawn from military units in France , including the British , who would have been organised by a journalist , Bill Mills . Then the Germans invaded and the race was not held again until 1947 ( see Tour de France during the Second World War ) . The first German team after the war was in 1960 , although individual Germans had ridden in mixed teams . The Tour has since started in Germany four times : in Cologne in 1965 , in Frankfurt in 1980 , in West Berlin on the city 's 750th anniversary in 1987 , and in Düsseldorf in 2017 . Plans to enter East Germany in 1987 were abandoned . Corsica ( edit ) Prior to 2013 , the Tour de France had visited every region of Metropolitan France except Corsica . Jean - Marie Leblanc , when he was organiser , said the island had never asked for a stage start there . It would be difficult to find accommodation for 4,000 people , he said . The spokesman of the Corsican nationalist party Party of the Corsican Nation , François Alfonsi , said : `` The organisers must be afraid of terrorist attacks . If they are really thinking of a possible terrorist action , they are wrong . Our movement , which is nationalist and in favour of self - government , would be delighted if the Tour came to Corsica . '' The opening three stages of the 2013 Tour de France were held on Corsica as part of the celebrations for the 100th edition of the race . The start and finish of the Tour ( edit ) Most stages are in mainland France , although since the mid-1950s it has become common to visit nearby countries : Andorra , Belgium , Germany ( and the former West Germany ) , Ireland , Italy , Luxembourg , Monaco , the Netherlands , Spain , Switzerland , and the United Kingdom have all hosted stages or part of a stage . Since 1975 the finish has been on the Champs - Élysées in Paris ; from 1903 to 1967 the race finished at the Parc des Princes stadium in western Paris and from 1968 to 1974 at the Piste Municipale south of the capital . Feliz Levitan , race organizer in the 1980s , was keen to host stages in the United States , but these proposals have never been developed . Starts abroad ( edit ) The following editions of the Tour started , or are planned to start , outside France : 1954 : Amsterdam , Netherlands 1958 : Brussels , Belgium 1965 : Cologne , West Germany 1973 : Scheveningen , Netherlands 1975 : Charleroi , Belgium 1978 : Leiden , Netherlands 1980 : Frankfurt , West Germany 1982 : Basel , Switzerland 1987 : West Berlin , West Germany 1989 : Luxembourg , Luxembourg 1992 : San Sebastián , Spain 1996 : Den Bosch , Netherlands 1998 : Dublin , Ireland 2002 : Luxembourg , Luxembourg 2004 : Liège , Belgium 2007 : London , United Kingdom 2009 : Monte Carlo , Monaco 2010 : Rotterdam , Netherlands 2012 : Liège , Belgium 2014 : Leeds , United Kingdom 2015 : Utrecht , Netherlands 2017 : Düsseldorf , Germany 2019 : Brussels , Belgium Broadcasting ( edit ) The Tour was first followed only by journalists from L'Auto , the organisers . The race was founded to increase sales of a floundering newspaper and its editor , Desgrange , saw no reason to allow rival publications to profit . The first time papers other than L'Auto were allowed was 1921 , when 15 press cars were allowed for regional and foreign reporters . The Tour was shown first on cinema newsreels a day or more after the event . The first live radio broadcast was in 1929 , when Jean Antoine and Alex Virot of the newspaper L'Intransigeant broadcast for Radio Cité . They used telephone lines . In 1932 they broadcast the sound of riders crossing the col d'Aubisque in the Pyrenees on 12 July , using a recording machine and transmitting the sound later . The first television pictures were shown a day after a stage . The national TV channel used two 16mm cameras , a Jeep , and a motorbike . Film was flown or taken by train to Paris . It was edited there and shown the following day . The first live broadcast , and the second of any sport in France , was the finish at the Parc des Princes in Paris on 25 July 1948 . Rik Van Steenbergen of Belgium led in the bunch after a stage of 340 kilometres ( 210 mi ) from Nancy . The first live coverage from the side of the road was from the Aubisque on 8 July 1958 . Proposals to cover the whole race were abandoned in 1962 after objections from regional newspapers whose editors feared the competition . The dispute was settled , but not in time for the race , and the first complete coverage was the following year in 1963 . In 1958 the first mountain climbs were broadcast live on television for the first time , and in 1959 helicopters were first used for the television coverage . The leading television commentator in France was a former rider , Robert Chapatte . At first he was the only commentator . He was joined in following seasons by an analyst for the mountain stages and by a commentator following the competitors by motorcycle . Broadcasting in France was largely a state monopoly until 1982 , when the socialist president François Mitterrand allowed private broadcasters and privatised the leading television channel . Competition between channels raised the broadcasting fees paid to the organisers from 1.5 per cent of the race budget in 1960 to more than a third by the end of the century . Broadcasting time also increased as channels competed to secure the rights . The two largest channels to stay in public ownership , Antenne 2 and FR3 , combined to offer more coverage than its private rival , TF1 . The two stations , renamed France 2 and France 3 , still hold the domestic rights and provide pictures for broadcasters around the world . The stations use a staff of 300 with four helicopters , two aircraft , two motorcycles , 35 other vehicles including trucks , and 20 podium cameras . Domestic television covers the most important stages of the Tour , such as those in the mountains , from mid-morning until early evening . Coverage typically starts with a survey of the day 's route , interviews along the road , discussions of the difficulties and tactics ahead , and a 30 - minute archive feature . The biggest stages are shown live from start to end , followed by interviews with riders and others and features such an edited version of the stage seen from beside a team manager following and advising riders from his car . Radio covers the race in updates throughout the day , particularly on the national news channel , France Info , and some stations provide continuous commentary on long wave . The 1979 Tour was the first to be broadcast in the United States . The combination of unprecedented rigorous doping controls and almost no positive tests helped restore fans ' confidence in the 2009 Tour de France . This led directly to an increase in global popularity of the event . The most watched stage of 2009 was stage 20 , from Montélimar to Mont Ventoux in Provence , with a global total audience of 44 million , making it the 12th most watched sporting event in the world in 2009 . Culture ( edit ) Part of the crowd during most days of the Tour is Didi Senft who , in a red devil costume , has been the Tour devil since 1993 . The Tour is an important cultural event for fans in Europe . Millions line the route , some having camped for a week to get the best view . Crowds flanking the course are reminiscent of the community festivals that are part of another form of cycle racing in a different country -- the Isle of Man TT . The Tour de France appealed from the start not just for the distance and its demands but because it played to a wish for national unity , a call to what Maurice Barrès called the France `` of earth and deaths '' or what Georges Vigarello called `` the image of a France united by its earth . '' School book by Augustine Fouillée under the ' nom de plume ' G. Bruno . The image had been started by the 1877 travel / school book Le Tour de la France par deux enfants . It told of two boys , André and Julien , who `` in a thick September fog left the town of Phalsbourg in Lorraine to see France at a time when few people had gone far beyond their nearest town . '' The book sold six million copies by the time of the first Tour de France , the biggest selling book of 19th - century France ( other than the Bible ) . It stimulated a national interest in France , making it `` visible and alive '' , as its preface said . There had already been a car race called the Tour de France but it was the publicity behind the cycling race , and Desgrange 's drive to educate and improve the population , that inspired the French to know more of their country . The academic historians Jean - Luc Boeuf and Yves Léonard say most people in France had little idea of the shape of their country until L'Auto began publishing maps of the race . Arts ( edit ) The Tour has inspired several popular songs in France , notably P'tit gars du Tour ( 1932 ) , Les Tours de France ( 1936 ) and Faire le Tour de France ( 1950 ) . Kraftwerk had a hit with `` Tour de France '' in 1983 -- described as a minimalistic `` melding of man and machine '' -- and produced an album , Tour de France Soundtracks in 2003 , the centenary of the Tour . The Tour and its first Italian winner , Ottavio Bottecchia , are mentioned at the end of Ernest Hemingway 's The Sun Also Rises . In films , the Tour was background for Five Red Tulips ( 1949 ) by Jean Stelli , in which five riders are murdered . A burlesque in 1967 , Les Cracks by Alex Joffé , with Bourvil et Monique Tarbès , also featured it . Footage of the 1970 Tour de France is shown in Jorgen Leth 's experimental short Eddy Merckx in the Vicinity of a Cup of Coffee . Patrick Le Gall made Chacun son Tour ( 1996 ) . The comedy , Le Vélo de Ghislain Lambert ( 2001 ) , featured the Tour of 1974 . In 2005 , three films chronicled a team . The German Höllentour , translated as Hell on Wheels , recorded 2003 from the perspective of Team Telekom . The film was directed by Pepe Danquart , who won an Academy Award for live - action short film in 1993 for Black Rider ( Schwarzfahrer ) . The Danish film Overcoming by Tómas Gislason recorded the 2004 Tour from the perspective of Team CSC . Wired to Win chronicles Française des Jeux riders Baden Cooke and Jimmy Caspar in 2003 . By following their quest for the points classification , won by Cooke , the film looks at the working of the brain . The film , made for IMAX theaters , appeared in December 2005 . It was directed by Bayley Silleck , who was nominated for an Academy Award for documentary short subject in 1996 for Cosmic Voyage . A fan , Scott Coady , followed the 2000 Tour with a handheld video camera to make The Tour Baby ! , which raised $160,000 to benefit the Lance Armstrong Foundation , and made a 2005 sequel , Tour Baby Deux ! . Vive Le Tour by Louis Malle is an 18 - minute short of 1962 . The 1965 Tour was filmed by Claude Lelouch in Pour un Maillot Jaune . This 30 - minute documentary has no narration and relies on sights and sounds of the Tour . In fiction , the 2003 animated feature Les Triplettes de Belleville ( The Triplets of Belleville ) ties into the Tour de France . Post-tour criteria ( edit ) After the Tour de France there are criteria in the Netherlands and Belgium . These races are public spectacles where thousands of people can see their heroes , from the Tour de France , race . The budget of a criterium is over 100,000 Euro , with most of the money going to the riders . Jersey winners or big - name riders earn between 20 and 60 thousand euros per race in start money . Doping ( edit ) Main article : Doping at the Tour de France See also : Festina affair , Doping at the 1998 Tour de France , Doping at the 1999 Tour de France , Floyd Landis doping case , and Doping at the 2007 Tour de France Spectators ' banner during the 2006 Tour de France Allegations of doping have plagued the Tour almost since 1903 . Early riders consumed alcohol and used ether , to dull the pain . Over the years they began to increase performance and the Union Cycliste Internationale and governments enacted policies to combat the practice . In 1924 , Henri Pélissier and his brother Charles told the journalist Albert Londres they used strychnine , cocaine , chloroform , aspirin , `` horse ointment '' and other drugs . The story was published in Le Petit Parisien under the title Les Forçats de la Route ( ' The Convicts of the Road ' ) On 13 July 1967 , British cyclist Tom Simpson died climbing Mont Ventoux after taking amphetamine . In 1998 , the `` Tour of Shame '' , Willy Voet , soigneur for the Festina team , was arrested with erythropoietin ( EPO ) , growth hormones , testosterone and amphetamine . Police raided team hotels and found products in the possession of the cycling team TVM . Riders went on strike . After mediation by director Jean - Marie Leblanc , police limited their tactics and riders continued . Some riders had dropped out and only 96 finished the race . It became clear in a trial that management and health officials of the Festina team had organised the doping . Further measures were introduced by race organisers and the UCI , including more frequent testing and tests for blood doping ( transfusions and EPO use ) . This would lead the UCI to becoming a particularly interested party in an International Olympic Committee initiative , the World Anti-Doping Agency ( WADA ) , created in 1999 . In 2002 , the wife of Raimondas Rumšas , third in the 2002 Tour de France , was arrested after EPO and anabolic steroids were found in her car . Rumšas , who had not failed a test , was not penalised . In 2004 , Philippe Gaumont said doping was endemic to his Cofidis team . Fellow Cofidis rider David Millar confessed to EPO after his home was raided . In the same year , Jesus Manzano , a rider with the Kelme team , alleged he had been forced by his team to use banned substances . Doping controversy has surrounded Lance Armstrong . In August 2005 , one month after Armstrong 's seventh consecutive victory , L'Équipe published documents it said showed Armstrong had used EPO in the 1999 race . At the same Tour , Armstrong 's urine showed traces of a glucocorticosteroid hormone , although below the positive threshold . He said he had used skin cream containing triamcinolone to treat saddle sores . Armstrong said he had received permission from the UCI to use this cream . Further allegations ultimately culminated in the United States Anti Doping Agency ( USADA ) disqualifying him from all his victories since 1 August 1998 , including his seven consecutive Tour de France victories , and a lifetime ban from competing in professional sports . He chose not to appeal the decision and in January 2013 he admitted doping in a television interview conducted by Oprah Winfrey , despite having made repeated denials throughout his career . The 2006 Tour had been plagued by the Operación Puerto doping case before it began . Favourites such as Jan Ullrich and Ivan Basso were banned by their teams a day before the start . Seventeen riders were implicated . American rider Floyd Landis , who finished the Tour as holder of the overall lead , had tested positive for testosterone after he won stage 17 , but this was not confirmed until some two weeks after the race finished . On 30 June 2008 Landis lost his appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport , and Óscar Pereiro was named as winner . On 24 May 2007 , Erik Zabel admitted using EPO during the first week of the 1996 Tour , when he won the points classification . Following his plea that other cyclists admit to drugs , former winner Bjarne Riis admitted in Copenhagen on 25 May 2007 that he used EPO regularly from 1993 to 1998 , including when he won the 1996 Tour . His admission meant the top three in 1996 were all linked to doping , two admitting cheating . On 24 July 2007 Alexander Vinokourov tested positive for a blood transfusion ( blood doping ) after winning a time trial , prompting his Astana team to pull out and police to raid the team 's hotel . The next day Cristian Moreni tested positive for testosterone . His Cofidis team pulled out . The same day , leader Michael Rasmussen was removed for `` violating internal team rules '' by missing random tests on 9 May and 28 June . Rasmussen claimed to have been in Mexico . The Italian journalist Davide Cassani told Danish television he had seen Rasmussen in Italy . The alleged lying prompted Rasmussen 's firing by Rabobank . On 11 July 2008 Manuel Beltrán tested positive for EPO after the first stage . On 17 July 2008 , Riccardo Riccò tested positive for continuous erythropoiesis receptor activator , a variant of EPO , after the fourth stage . In October 2008 , it was revealed that Riccò 's teammate and Stage 10 winner Leonardo Piepoli , as well as Stefan Schumacher -- who won both time trials -- and Bernhard Kohl -- third on general classification and King of the Mountains -- had tested positive . After winning the 2010 Tour de France , it was announced that Alberto Contador had tested positive for low levels of clenbuterol on 21 July rest day . On 26 January 2011 , the Spanish Cycling Federation proposed a 1 - year ban but reversed its ruling on 15 February and cleared Contador to race . Despite a pending appeal by the UCI , Contador finished 5th overall in the 2011 Tour de France , but in February 2012 , Contador was suspended and stripped of his 2010 victory . During the 2012 Tour , the 3rd placed rider from 2011 , Fränk Schleck tested positive for the banned diuretic Xipamide and was immediately disqualified from the Tour . In October 2012 , the United States Anti-Doping Agency released a report on doping by the U.S. Postal Service cycling team , implicating , amongst others , Armstrong . The report contained affidavits from riders including Frankie Andreu , Tyler Hamilton , George Hincapie , Floyd Landis , Levi Leipheimer , and others describing widespread use of Erythropoietin ( EPO ) , blood transfusion , testosterone , and other banned practices in several Tours . In October 2012 the UCI acted upon this report , formally stripping Armstrong of all titles since 1 August 1998 , including all seven Tour victories , and announced that his Tour wins would not be reallocated to other riders .

Records and statistics ( edit ) Main articles : Tour de France records and statistics and Yellow jersey statistics One rider has been King of the Mountains , won the combination classification , combativity award , the points competition , and the Tour in the same year -- Eddy Merckx in 1969 , which was also the first year he participated . Had the young rider 's jersey been available at the time , he would have won that too . Twice the Tour was won by a racer who never wore the yellow jersey until the race was over . In 1947 , Jean Robic overturned a three - minute deficit on the 257 kilometres ( 160 mi ) final stage into Paris . In 1968 , Jan Janssen of the Netherlands secured his win in the individual time trial on the last day . The Tour has been won three times by racers who led the general classification on the first stage and holding the lead all the way to Paris . Maurice Garin did it during the Tour 's very first edition , 1903 ; he repeated the feat the next year , but the results were nullified by the officials as a response to widespread cheating . Ottavio Bottecchia completed a GC start - to - finish sweep in 1924 . And in 1928 , Nicolas Frantz held the GC for the entire race , and at the end , the podium consisted solely of members of his racing team . While no one has equalled this feat since 1928 , four times a racer has taken over the GC lead on the second stage and carried that lead all the way to Paris . It is worth noting that Jacques Anquetil predicted he would wear the yellow jersey as leader of the general classification from start to finish in 1961 , which he did . That year , the first day had two stages , the first part from Rouen to Versailles and the second part from Versailles to Versailles . No yellow jersey was awarded after the first part , and at the end of the day Anquetil was in yellow . The most appearances have been by Sylvain Chavanel , who rode his 18th and final Tour in 2018 . Prior to Chavenel 's final Tour , he shared the record with George Hincapie with 17 . In light of Hincapie 's suspension for use of performance - enhancing drugs , before which he held the mark for most consecutive finishes with sixteen , having completed all but his very first , Joop Zoetemelk and Chavanel share the record for the most finishes at 16 , with Zoetemelk having completed all 16 of the Tours that he started . Of these 16 Tours Zoetemelk came in the top five 11 times , a record , finished second 6 times , a record , and won the 1980 Tour de France . In the early years of the Tour , cyclists rode individually , and were sometimes forbidden to ride together . This led to large gaps between the winner and the number two . Since the cyclists now tend to stay together in a peloton , the margins of the winner have become smaller , as the difference usually originates from time trials , breakaways or on mountain top finishes , or from being left behind the peloton . The smallest margins between the winner and the second placed cyclists at the end of the Tour is 8 seconds between winner Greg LeMond and Laurent Fignon in 1989 . The largest margin , by comparison , remains that of the first Tour in 1903 : 2h 49m 45s between Maurice Garin and Lucien Pothier . Three riders have won 8 stages in a single year : Charles Pélissier ( 1930 ) , Eddy Merckx ( 1970 , 1974 ) , and Freddy Maertens ( 1976 ) . Mark Cavendish has the most mass finish stage wins with 30 as of stage 14 in 2016 , ahead of André Darrigade and André Leducq with 22 , François Faber with 19 , and Eddy Merckx with 18 . The youngest Tour de France stage winner is Fabio Battesini , who was 19 when he won one stage in the 1931 Tour de France . The fastest massed - start stage was in 1999 from Laval to Blois ( 194.5 kilometres ( 120.9 mi ) ) , won by Mario Cipollini at 50.4 kilometres per hour ( 31.3 mph ) . The fastest time - trial is Rohan Dennis ' stage 1 of the 2015 Tour de France in Utrecht , won at an average of 55.446 kilometres per hour ( 34.453 mph ) . The fastest stage win was by the 2013 Orica GreenEDGE team in a team time - trial . It completed the 25 kilometres ( 16 mi ) in Nice ( stage 5 ) at 57.8 kilometres per hour ( 35.9 mph ) . The longest successful post-war breakaway by a single rider was by Albert Bourlon in the 1947 Tour de France . In the Carcassone - Luchon stage , he stayed away for 253 kilometres ( 157 mi ) . It was one of seven breakaways longer than 200 kilometres ( 120 mi ) , the last being Thierry Marie 's 234 kilometres ( 145 mi ) escape in 1991 . Bourlon finished 16 m 30s ahead . This is one of the biggest time gaps but not the greatest . That record belongs to José - Luis Viejo , who beat the peloton by 22 m 50s in the Montgenèvre - Manosque stage in 1976 . He was the fourth and most recent rider to win a stage by more than 20 minutes . The only rider to win the Tour de France and an Olympic gold medal in the same year was Britain 's Bradley Wiggins in 2012 . In 2018 , Wiggins was joined by Geraint Thomas as the only Tour de France champions to have won an Olympic gold medal in a velodrome ; they were both on the team which won the Team Pursuit Gold Medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics . Record winners ( edit ) Four riders have won five times : Jacques Anquetil ( FRA ) , Eddy Merckx ( BEL ) , Bernard Hinault ( FRA ) , and Miguel Indurain ( ESP ) . Indurain achieved the mark with a record five consecutive wins . Wins Rider Editions 5 Jacques Anquetil ( FRA ) 1957 , 1961 , 1962 , 1963 , 1964 Eddy Merckx ( BEL ) 1969 , 1970 , 1971 , 1972 , 1974 Bernard Hinault ( FRA ) 1978 , 1979 , 1981 , 1982 , 1985 Miguel Indurain ( ESP ) 1991 , 1992 , 1993 , 1994 , 1995 Chris Froome ( GBR ) 2013 , 2015 , 2016 , 2017 Philippe Thys ( BEL ) 1913 , 1914 , 1920 Louison Bobet ( FRA ) 1953 , 1954 , 1955 Greg LeMond ( USA ) 1986 , 1989 , 1990 Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ De Dion , Clément and Michelin were particularly concerned with Le Vélo -- which reported more than cycling -- because its financial backer was one of their commercial rivals , the Darracq company . De Dion believed Le Vélo gave Darracq too much attention and him too little . De Dion was a gentlemanly but outspoken man who already wrote columns for Le Figaro , Le Matin and others . He was also rich and could afford to indulge his whims , which included founding Le Nain Jaune ( the yellow gnome ) , a publication that `` ... answers no particular need . '' Jump up ^ Desgrange had first attempted to copy and outdo races run by his rival . In 1901 he revived the Paris - Brest event after a decade 's absence . Giffard was the first to suggest a race that lasted several days , new to cycling but established practice in car racing . Unlike other cycle races , it would also be run largely without pacers . Jump up ^ L'Auto preferred to concentrate on the Coupe Gordon - Bennett car race , even though it was n't to start for another 48 hours . The choice reflects not only that the Tour de France was an unknown quantity -- only after the first race had finished did it establish a reputation -- but it hints at Desgrange 's uncertainty . His position as editor depended on raising sales . That would happen if the Tour succeeded . But the paper and his employers would lose a lot of money if it did n't . Desgrange preferred to keep a distance . He did n't drop the flag at the start and he did n't follow the riders . Reporting was left to Lefèvre , whose idea it had been , who followed the race by bike and by train . Desgrange showed a personal interest in his race only when it looked a success . Jump up ^ The use of false and often colourful names was not unusual . It reflected not only the daring of the enterprise but the slight scandal still associated with riding bicycle races , enough that some preferred to use a false name . The first city - to - city race , from Paris to Rouen , included many made - up names or simply initials . The first woman to finish had entered as `` Miss America '' , despite not being American . Jump up ^ The formula in 1905 was a combination of both time and points . Riders had points deducted for each five minutes lost . Jump up ^ A race for female cyclists similar to the men 's Tour de France had been organized in 1955 , but it was not official . Jump up ^ Jacques Goddet said in his autobiography that teams were using the rule to eliminate rivals . A rider in last position knew he would be disqualified at the end of the stage . If he dropped out before or during the stage , another competitor became the last and he would leave the race as well . That weakened a rival team , which now had fewer helpers . Jump up ^ Pierre Bost was a journalist and playwright known for the prolific film and stage scripts he wrote in the 1940s . He died in 1975 . Jump up ^ Jean - Pierre Lachaud joined the Tour de France caravan in 1983 to distribute publicity for Crédit Lyonnais , the bank that sponsors the yellow jersey . The experience led to his starting his own company , Newsport , which now administers the caravan for the Société du Tour de France Jump up ^ Some Corsican nationalists have used terrorist methods . Jump up ^ A podium camera is not one focused on the winner 's podium but a full - scale camera on a mount , or podium . Jump up ^ A school book written by Augustine Fouillée under the name G. Bruno and published in 1877 , it sold six million by 1900 , seven million by 1914 and 8,400,000 by 1976 . It was used in schools until the 1950s and is still available .

She is the daughter of Sherry Sossamon , a nurse , and Todd Lindberg . She has a younger sister , singer Jenny Lee Lindberg , who was born in 1981 . Her parents divorced when she was five , and Sossamon and her sister were then raised by her mother , who married Randy Goldman , a salesman and manager of an auto dealership . Her maternal grandmother is of Hawaiian and Filipino descent , while the rest of her ancestry is English , German , Dutch , French , and Irish . Sossamon attended Galena High School in Reno , graduating in 1995 . The day after her high school graduation , she relocated in Los Angeles with two friends , to study dance . `` Nothing compares to that feeling when you first leave home and arrive somewhere new , '' she once recalled . `` When we woke up in the morning , just making coffee felt amazing . It felt like being so free -- just to wake up and make coffee and look at our couch . Nothing beats that '' . The y in her first name was an adolescent alteration in 1995 . Career ( edit ) 1995 -- 2002 : early work and Breakthrough ( edit ) After moving to Los Angeles in 1995 , she began to work as a DJ , booking gigs in local clubs and performance venues . While Sossamon was pursuing a career in dance , she actually never planned to become a professional dancer , recalling : `` It was more like I just love to do this . It was n't clear what I wanted , but I was fine with that . I had never needed a plan . I 'm really good at feeling safe in the unknown in the aspect of planning your life '' . Around that time , Sossamon established her early career by modeling for various companies including Sassy Magazine , Unionbay Clothing , American Eagle Outfitters , and Planned Parenthood . She appeared in two television commercials for Gap and in music videos for artists such as Daft Punk , The Goo Goo Dolls , Cher , and the rock group 9xdead . In 1997 , Sossamon guest - starred as several characters in three episodes of Mr. Show with Bob and David , and two years later , she was discovered by casting director Francine Maisler , while assisting a fellow DJ at Gwyneth Paltrow 's brother 's birthday party . Sossamon beat Kate Hudson for the lead female role in Brian Helgeland 's medieval adventure dramedy A Knight 's Tale , opposite Heath Ledger . She was cast as Lady Jocelyn , the love interest of a peasant ( Ledger ) pretending to be a knight in the world of Middle Age jousting . The film premiered on May 11 , 2001 , and received average reviews , with her part getting an equally mixed response ; Robin Clifford for Reeling Reviews concluded that Sossamon was `` pretty but little more than an object of affection '' and Rob Blackwelder , of SPLICEDwire , called her role `` the movie 's weakest link '' , noting that although Sossamon was a `` wonderfully wicked flirt '' , her character `` is n't terribly well established and she 's the most jarringly modern sight in this ancient tale '' . A Knight 's Tale garnered US $117,487,473 worldwide , bringing Sossamon into mainstream audiences . It earned the actress two Teen Choice Awards nominations as well as three MTV Movie Awards nominations , including one for `` Best Breakthrough Performance '' . In 2002 , Sossamon starred in Miramax Films ' romantic comedy 40 Days and 40 Nights , as Erica Sutton , the love interest of Josh Hartnett 's character , Matt Sullivan . The movie depicts Sullivan as he meets Sutton during a period of his abstinence from any sexual contact for the duration of Lent . It received mixed reviews from critics , but was a major box office success , earning a worldwide total of US $95,146,283 on a production budget of US $17 million . Sossamon 's part gained critical acclaim in general ; About.com noted that she was `` already making a name for herself as a romantic leading lady . With starring roles opposite two of Hollywood 's hottest young actors ( Hartnett and Heath Ledger ) under her belt , Shannyn 's star is rising fast . Her exotic looks separate her from the pack , and her performances have , thus far , been exceptional '' . Praising Sossamon and co-star Harnett , Elvis Mitchell wrote for The New York Times : `` Mr. Hartnett matches up with Ms. Sossamon , and not only because their eyebrows signal that they are both Vulcans . She is a more direct performer ; what she does is not acting -- yet -- but she can look as if she 's listening . Her approach contrasts hilariously with his gentility '' . Afterwards , both actors received a Teen Choice Award nomination for `` Choice Film Chemistry '' . Sossamon subsequently played Lauren Hynde in Roger Avary 's dark satirical ensemble The Rules of Attraction , an adaptation of the Bret Easton Ellis book of the same name . The picture , about promiscuous college student , included scenes of suicide , heavy drug use , and sexual contents . It received extremely mixed reviews from critics ; most either loving it or hating it . Critical response for Sossamon was more favorable , with website Joblo.com commenting that the actress was `` very believable and empathetic '' as her character . David Noh , of Film Journal International found her performance `` heartbreaking '' and described it as `` an uncanny blend of fragile - fey and urchin - tough , marked by a feverish wit which often proves her undoing as much as her salvation '' . Also showing approval of her portrayal , director Avary remarked during an interview the actress was `` like a wild animal you ca n't really control . What she does and what she brings is complete and honest truth to the scene . Something real '' , and author Ellis , stated that she `` has n't had much of a chance to shine before , but she 's a star . She seems freer in this movie than she was before and is totally empathetic , which is a quality that does n't come easily to most actors '' . Rules of Attraction is considered a cult hit ; it grossed US $11,819,244 worldwide , almost tripling its budget ( US $4 million ) . 2003 -- 05 : hiatus ( edit ) Sossamon and Heath Ledger starred together again in Brian Helgeland 's supernatural thriller The Order . The film revolved around the investigation of the suspicious death of an excommunicated priest and the discovery of a Sin Eater headquartered in Rome . It was released in late 2003 , to extremely poor reviews ; Critical reception for Sossamon was average with 7M Pictures finding the movie `` well acted '' by the leads but eFilmCritic.com remarking that she , `` so charming in both `` A Knight 's Tale and 40 Days and 40 Nights , is given very little to do besides utilize her ' tortured soul with dark eye makeup ' schtick '' . The movie also made little interest at the box office , opening at number six at the charts ; it finished its theatrical run with US $11 million on a budget of US $35 million . After Sossamon filmed The Order , she became pregnant and took a hiatus from working on film productions ; `` It was almost like she was out on a lark , and she found herself in this big circumstance that she had n't planned on , which I think made it easier for her to go off and have a baby and stop working '' , director Helgerland said on the actress ' motherhood and subsequent acting break . She has recalled seeing her acting career in a `` total stop '' after giving birth , but nevertheless described her absence on screen as a `` blessing in disguise for many reasons '' . Her only acting appearance of 2004 was a guest - starring role in the episode `` Doubt '' on the NBC series Law & Order : Special Victims Unit . Her next vehicle was the horror thriller Devour , in which she played Marisol , one of several friends who become increasingly addicted to a video game that has an evil agenda . A B movie , it did not received a theatrical release and instead , went directly - to - DVD in 2005 . Critical reception towards the picture was unanimously negative , but a few reviewers showed approval of the cast members ' performances , with DVD Talk noting that Sossamon , alongside co-star Dominique Swain , `` do the best they can with the material they 're given , but end up as not much more than eye - candy stuck in a sea of aimless gore and maddeningly vague plot droppings '' . At the time , she made a cameo appearance in the black action comedy Kiss Kiss Bang Bang ( 2005 ) . Sossamon with Wristcutters director Goran Dukić at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival . She played Josie in the dramedy Undiscovered , which followed a group of aspiring entertainers who intend to establish their careers in Los Angeles . Distributed for a limited release to certain parts of the United States only , the movie premiered on August 26 , 2005 , to lackluster sales and critical failure . Chasing Ghosts , a mystery thriller starring Sossamon , was released straight - to - video in late 2005 . As Undiscovered , this movie received negative reviews and was a box office bomb , failing to recoup its budget . 2006 -- 08 : Wristcutters and Moonlight ( edit ) Sossamon was cast as the female lead in the indie romantic black comedy Wristcutters : A Love Story , which was based on an Etgar Keret short story and co-starred Patrick Fugit , revolving around two characters who fall in love in purgatory after committing suicide . It was shown at both The Sundance Film Festival and The Seattle International Film Festival Awards in early 2006 , before going on to open in a limited theatrical run in October 2007 . The movie premiered to popular and critical acclaim , garnering a cult following since then . Sossamon , similarly , received a wide positive feedback for her performance ; Variety magazine felt she made her character `` feisty and alluring '' in a `` resigned goth - girl kind of way '' , while Matthew Turner of View London remarked that she `` gives her best performance to date . '' Wristcutters was nominated for several awards , including Sundance 's Grand Jury Prize , two Independent Spirit Awards , and the Humanitas Prize . She appeared as Maggie , Jack Black 's girlfriend in Nancy Meyers 's romantic comedy The Holiday . The movie co-starred Kate Winslet , Cameron Diaz , and Jude Law , and premiered in December 2006 . It was a major commercial success , with US $205,135,324 grossed worldwide . On January 2 , 2007 , she debuted on Courteney Cox 's drama series Dirt on FX . Her role was Kira Klay , a troubled young drug - addicted actress who after realizing that she is pregnant , kills herself . Her death happens in the pilot , where that is the only episode she is `` alive . '' She appears in four more episodes as a ghostly figment of Ian Hart 's character imagination , becoming a sort of love interest . Her last airdate was on March 27 , 2007 ( episode `` Ita Missa Est '' ) . She also starred in the horror movie Catacombs as Victoria , a young woman trying to find her way out of the Paris Catacombs while being pursued by a killer . It received a theatrical release in countries like Italy and Japan throughout 2007 , but came out directly - to - DVD in United States in February 2008 . Catacombs and Sossamon generated mostly negative reviews ; About.com wrote that her `` Ambien - induced acting does n't help matters '' , and DVD Verdict stated : `` This film is all Sossamon and I feel for her . Aside from the uninspired twist finale , her performance is comprised solely of gasping and looking worried and furrowing her brow and screaming and gazing worriedly at her flickering flashlight '' . Sossamon at the 2007 San Diego Comic - Con International . Sossamon signed on as a series regular on CBS 's vampire drama Moonlight , to play the character of Coraline Duvall . The series began airing on September 28 , 2007 , and was watched by 8.54 million viewers , finishing first among total viewers and adults 18 -- 49 for its night . CBS ordered a 16 - episode first season , but over the season , viewership decreased to around 7.5 million viewers . The series had a very large fan base , but despite fans ' efforts , CBS canceled the series after the first season . Sossamon starred as Beth Raymond in One Missed Call , a remake of Takashi Miike 's 2003 Japanese horror film of the same name . It revolved around a group of college students who start receiving voice - mails from their future selves which include the date and time of their deaths . The movie had its U.S. premiere on January 4 , 2008 , and fared `` decently '' on its opening weekend , with an estimated US $13.5 million in sales , as noted by Box Office Mojo . It went on to gross US $45 million in theaters , on a production budget of US $20 million . Reception towards the film was heavily negative , with critics describing it as one of the `` weakest '' J - horror remakes to be released . Georgia Straight writer Steve Newton felt that Sossamon tried `` desperately to bring some substance to her role '' , but the `` preposterous script '' made it a `` lost cause '' . Despite the critical reaction , the actress was nominated for the `` Choice Film Actress -- Horror '' Award at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards . 2009 -- 12 : indie Film route ( edit ) She played Concetta , a woman faced with the challenges of raising her sick child and supporting her husband in the indie drama Life Is Hot in Cracktown , directed by Buddy Giovinazzo , and co-starring Kerry Washington , Lara Flynn Boyle and Brandon Routh . The movie was first screened at the 2009 Fantasia International Film Festival , and received a limited theatrical release in June that year ; it went to DVD two months later . She also made a brief appearance in the romantic comedy Our Family Wedding and appeared as one of the leads in the thriller The Heavy , which had a U.S. straight - to - video release in April 2010 .

Eight videos have been premiered under the moniker as of 2013 . During an interview with Keba Robinson , of Hook and Line magazine , Sossamon explained hat her initiative for creating Maudegone was about having `` some sort of control and do creative things and feel like it was something that I started . I like the feeling of independence and freedom '' . Sossamon starred in Monte Hellman 's independent romantic thriller Road to Nowhere . Her role was Lauren Graham , a non-professional actress invited to star in a movie by a director who falls in love with her . Sossamon was the first person to be cast in the film after writer Steven Gaydos saw her in a restaurant rehearsing a scene with another person . Reluctant , Gaydos gave the actress his card saying , `` I do n't do this often , but I wonder if you or your agent would contact ( director ) Monte Hellman '' . The movie screened at the 67th Venice International Film Festival in September 2010 , and received a very limited theatrical release in the U.S the following year . It generated mostly positive reactions from critics , with Sossamon 's role gaining a similar response . Kevin Thomas , of Los Angeles Times remarked that the film `` ultimately stands on the beauty and talent of its femme fatale , and Shannyn Sossamon is so stunning and gifted she actually withstands a remark comparing her to Louise Brooks '' . Meanwhile , Colin Convert for Star Tribune wrote in his review : `` The key to the movie is casting the right femme fatale , and non-actress Shannyn Sossamon , the mystery woman 's eerie doppelgänger , wins the part and her director 's heart '' . When asked in a 2013 interview about what roles she was most proud of to date , she responded that those she had played in Road to Nowhere and 2006 's Wristcutters . She was cast with Ashley Bell , Dominic Monaghan and Shawn Ashmore in the indie thriller The Day , which follows a group of people fighting to stay alive in a post-apocalyptic future . The picture premiered at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival and later received a theatrical release in a limited run in August 2012 . It received generally mixed or average reviews ; while Los Angeles Times and New York Daily News praised the cast , Blu-Ray.com and Paste magazine criticized Sossamon for `` weaving in and out '' of her character 's southern accent . In January 15 , 2012 , The Cyclist , a short film where Sossamon starred , premiered ; it was screened later that year at the Las Vegas Film Festival . She appeared in the indie romantic drama The End of Love as Lydia , a single mother and the love interest of Mark Webber 's character . The movie debuted at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and opened theatrically in a limited run in March 2013 . Reviews for the film were largely positive , with Sossamon earning top notices . Chicago Sun - Times critic Charlie Schmidlin concluded that the actress `` radiates warmth '' and noted that her part in the movie `` is the most natural and welcome performance I 've seen from her '' . The Hollywood Reporter and Time Out found Shannyn `` captivating '' and `` enormously appealing '' , respectively . 2013 -- present : television work ( edit ) Sossamon then appeared in Desire , another short feature and a collaboration between Jaguar and Ridley Scott Associates , to help kick off the 2014 Jaguar F - Type . The 13 - minute video , directed by Adam Smith and co-starring Damian Lewis , is about a car delivery man who gets caught up in a dangerous chase involving a woman in trouble ( who is played by Sossamon ) . It had initially a debut at the 2013 Sundance London Film and Music Festival and was then posted on YouTube . On June 30 , 2013 , she debuted as Alex in the ABC drama Mistresses . Her character had a `` multi-episode arc '' during the first season of the series , with her last airdate being September 2 ( episode `` When One Door Closes ... '' ) . Sossamon accepted the role as it was a `` softer character '' for her to play , given she had been in a career hiatus due to her second pregnancy . At the time , it was announced that Sossamon was cast to play one of the main parts in M. Night Shyamalan 's limited series for FOX , Wayward Pines . Her role was Theresa Burke , the wife of Matt Dillon 's character , and the show premiered on May 14 , 2015 . Wayward Pines received mostly favorable reviews from critics and after a debut described as `` soft '' by Deadline , viewership for the series grew in subsequent episodes . She provided her voice for a character named Lorna during an episode of Over the Garden Wall , which aired on November 6 , 2014 ( `` Chapter 7 : The Ringing of the Bell '' ) . She next had starring role in the supernatural horror sequel Sinister 2 , where she played a mother whose sons are tormented by ghostly children . The movie was released worldwide on August 21 , 2015 , generating overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics . However , it has grossed over US $48 million on a budget of US $10 million . Sossamon plays Pandora in the season three of FOX 's Sleepy Hollow , where she is a series regular . She also has a main part in a short film called Limina , directed by Florian Halbedl and Joshua M. Ferguson under their production company , Turbid Lake Pictures . She plays Maria , a woman `` whose mourning process is influenced by a curious gender - fluid child '' . Personal Life ( edit ) Relationships and Family ( edit ) Sossamon dated children 's book illustrator and author Dallas Clayton from 2002 to 2004 . They have a son , Audio Science Clayton , born on May 29 , 2003 . Though she admitted not being prepared for being a parent , she put aside acting more or less for the next few years to focus on raising her child : `` I was n't ready to be a mom . But if you have any desire to be a better person , having a baby kicks it right into gear . Now I 'm a better actress and a better mother '' . In March 2012 , Sossamon announced that she had given birth to her second son , Mortimer . In 2015 , Sossamon stated during an interview with Details magazine that she was in a `` committed relationship '' with Mortimer 's father . Music and interests ( edit ) Besides acting , Sossamon continues to study music and dance . After having Audio Science , she started to play guitar frequently , with lessons about four days a week , as she wanted to create a band with her sister Jenny Lee Lindberg , who knew how to play the bass . Shortly afterwards , they joined Warpaint , an indie rock and psychedelic band formed in Los Angeles . As all the members were playing the guitar at the beginning , she became the drummer of the group : `` When we all started the band together , no one was playing drums , it was like all of us on guitars , I was on guitar with them , and we needed a drummer . We tried out a pool of drummers and then one day I was just practicing , I just decided to sit on the drum kit and it really worked and I had so much fun '' . Her sole recording with Warpaint before she left the group to focus on her acting career was the 2008 EP , Exquisite Corpse . When asked about pursuing a musical career as a solo artist following her work with the band , Sossamon responded that although she writes a lot of songs by herself , `` it just requires focus and discipline in a way that I need to have for other things right now '' . Despite her musical work , Sossamon has clarified she rarely calls herself a musician , as she does not `` practice or play nearly as much as the great ones do . Most of my days and thoughts are taken up by stories , feelings , and pictures . Music is present in them , too , but always having to do with a picture . When I work with musicians , I actually just see them as actors or performers in general that day . I do n't separate them from the duties they are to perform that day '' .

Edward was the eldest son of King George V and Queen Mary . He was named Prince of Wales on his sixteenth birthday , nine weeks after his father succeeded as king . As a young man , he served in the British Army during the First World War and undertook several overseas tours on behalf of his father . Edward became king on his father 's death in early 1936 . However , he showed impatience with court protocol , and caused concern among politicians by his apparent disregard for established constitutional conventions . Only months into his reign , he caused a constitutional crisis by proposing to Wallis Simpson , an American who had divorced her first husband and was seeking a divorce from her second . The prime ministers of the United Kingdom and the Dominions opposed the marriage , arguing a divorced woman with two living ex-husbands was politically and socially unacceptable as a prospective queen consort . Additionally , such a marriage would have conflicted with Edward 's status as the titular head of the Church of England , which at the time disapproved of remarriage after divorce if a former spouse was still alive . Edward knew the British government , led by Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin , would resign if the marriage went ahead , which could have forced a general election and would ruin his status as a politically neutral constitutional monarch . When it became apparent he could not marry Wallis and remain on the throne , Edward abdicated . He was succeeded by his younger brother , George VI . With a reign of 326 days , Edward is one of the shortest - reigning monarchs in British history . After his abdication , he was created Duke of Windsor . He married Wallis in France on 3 June 1937 , after her second divorce became final . Later that year , the couple toured Germany . During the Second World War , he was at first stationed with the British Military Mission to France , but after private accusations he held Nazi sympathies he was appointed Governor of the Bahamas . After the war , Edward spent the rest of his life in retirement in France . Edward and Wallis remained married until his death in 1972 .

He was the eldest son of the Duke and Duchess of York ( later King George V and Queen Mary ) . His father was the son of the Prince and Princess of Wales ( later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra ) . His mother was the eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Teck ( Francis and Mary Adelaide ) . At the time of his birth , he was third in the line of succession to the throne , behind his grandfather and father . He was baptised Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David in the Green Drawing Room of White Lodge on 16 July 1894 by Edward White Benson , Archbishop of Canterbury . The names were chosen in honour of Edward 's late uncle , who was known to his family as `` Eddy '' or Edward , and his great - grandfather King Christian IX of Denmark . The name Albert was included at the behest of Queen Victoria for her late husband Albert , Prince Consort , and the last four names -- George , Andrew , Patrick and David -- came from the Patron Saints of England , Scotland , Ireland and Wales . He was always known to his family and close friends by his last given name , David . As was common practice with upper - class children of the time , Edward and his younger siblings were brought up by nannies rather than directly by their parents . One of Edward 's early nannies often abused him by pinching him before he was due to be presented to his parents . His subsequent crying and wailing would lead the Duke and Duchess to send him and the nanny away . The nanny was discharged after her mistreatment of the children was discovered . Edward 's father , though a harsh disciplinarian , was demonstrably affectionate , and his mother displayed a frolicsome side with her children that belied her austere public image . She was amused by the children making tadpoles on toast for their French master , and encouraged them to confide in her . Education ( edit ) Edward as a midshipman on board HMS Hindustan , 1910 Initially , Edward was tutored at home by Helen Bricka . When his parents travelled the British Empire for almost nine months following the death of Queen Victoria in 1901 , young Edward and his siblings stayed in Britain with their grandparents , Queen Alexandra and King Edward VII , who showered their grandchildren with affection . Upon his parents ' return , Edward was placed under the care of two men , Frederick Finch and Henry Hansell , who virtually brought up Edward and his brothers and sister for their remaining nursery years . Edward was kept under the strict tutorship of Hansell until almost thirteen years old . Private tutors taught him German and French . Edward took the examination to enter the Royal Naval College , Osborne , and began there in 1907 . Hansell had wanted Edward to enter school earlier , but the prince 's father had disagreed . Following two years at Osborne College , which he did not enjoy , Edward moved on to the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth . A course of two years , followed by entry into the Royal Navy , was planned . A bout of mumps may have made him infertile . Edward automatically became Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay on 6 May 1910 when his father ascended the throne as George V on the death of Edward VII . He was created Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester a month later on 23 June 1910 , his 16th birthday . Preparations for his future as king began in earnest . He was withdrawn from his naval course before his formal graduation , served as midshipman for three months aboard the battleship Hindustan , then immediately entered Magdalen College , Oxford , for which , in the opinion of his biographers , he was underprepared intellectually . A keen horseman , he learned how to play polo with the university club . He left Oxford after eight terms , without any academic qualifications . Prince of Wales ( edit ) Edward was officially invested as Prince of Wales in a special ceremony at Caernarfon Castle on 13 July 1911 . The investiture took place in Wales , at the instigation of the Welsh politician David Lloyd George , Constable of the Castle and Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Liberal government . Lloyd George invented a rather fanciful ceremony in the style of a Welsh pageant , and coached Edward to speak a few words in Welsh . Edward during the First World War When the First World War broke out in 1914 , Edward had reached the minimum age for active service and was keen to participate . He had joined the Grenadier Guards in June 1914 , and although Edward was willing to serve on the front lines , Secretary of State for War Lord Kitchener refused to allow it , citing the immense harm that would occur if the heir to the throne were captured by the enemy . Despite this , Edward witnessed trench warfare first - hand and visited the front line as often as he could , for which he was awarded the Military Cross in 1916 . His role in the war , although limited , made him popular among veterans of the conflict . Edward undertook his first military flight in 1918 , and later gained a pilot 's licence . Edward 's youngest brother , Prince John , died at the age of 13 on 18 January 1919 after a severe seizure . John suffered from epilepsy , and Edward , who was 11 years older than his brother and had hardly known him , saw his death as `` little more than a regrettable nuisance '' . He wrote to his mistress of the time that `` ( he had ) told ( her ) all about that little brother , and how he was an epileptic . ( John ) 's been practically shut up for the last two years anyhow , so no one has ever seen him except the family , and then only once or twice a year . This poor boy had become more of an animal than anything else . '' He also wrote an insensitive letter to his mother , Queen Mary , which has since been lost . She did not reply , but he felt compelled to write her an apology , in which he stated : `` I feel such a cold hearted and unsympathetic swine for writing all that I did ... No one can realize more than you how little poor Johnnie meant to me who hardly knew him ... I feel so much for you , darling Mama , who was his mother . '' Portrait by Reginald Grenville Eves , c. 1920 Throughout the 1920s , Edward , as Prince of Wales , represented his father , King George V , at home and abroad on many occasions . His rank , travels , good looks , and unmarried status gained him much public attention , and at the height of his popularity , he was the most photographed celebrity of his time . He took a particular interest in science and in 1926 was president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science when his alma mater , Oxford University , hosted the society 's annual general meeting . He also visited the poverty - stricken areas of Britain , and undertook 16 tours to various parts of the Empire between 1919 and 1935 . On a tour of Canada in 1919 , he acquired the Bedingfield ranch , near Pekisko , Alberta , and in 1924 , he donated the Prince of Wales Trophy to the National Hockey League . In 1929 Sir Alexander Leith , a leading Conservative in the north of England , persuaded him to make a three - day visit to the County Durham and Northumberland coal - fields , where at the time there was much unemployment . From January to April 1931 , the Prince of Wales and his brother Prince George travelled 18,000 miles on a tour of South America , steaming out on the ocean liner Oropesa , and returning via Paris and an Imperial Airways flight from Paris -- Le Bourget Airport that landed specially in Windsor Great Park . Though widely travelled , Edward was racially prejudiced against foreigners and many of the Empire 's subjects , believing that whites were inherently superior . In 1920 , on a visit to Australia , he wrote of Indigenous Australians : `` they are the most revolting form of living creatures I 've ever seen ! ! They are the lowest known form of human beings & are the nearest thing to monkeys . '' In 1919 the Prince agreed to be President of the organising committee for the proposed British Empire Exhibition at Wembley Park , north - west London . The Prince wished the Exhibition to include `` a great national sports ground '' , and so played a part in the creation of Wembley Stadium . Romances ( edit ) Edward in 1932 In 1917 , during the First World War , he began a love affair with Parisian courtesan Marguerite Alibert ( later Fahmy ) , who kept a collection of his indiscreet letters after he broke off the affair in 1918 to begin one with an English married woman , Freda Dudley Ward , a textile heiress . Edward 's womanising and reckless behaviour during the 1920s and 1930s worried Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin , King George V , and those close to the prince . Alan Lascelles , the prince 's private secretary for eight years during this period , believed that `` for some hereditary or physiological reason his normal mental development stopped dead when he reached adolescence '' . George V was disappointed by his son 's failure to settle down in life , disgusted by his affairs with married women , and was reluctant to see him inherit the Crown . `` After I am dead , '' George said , `` the boy will ruin himself in twelve months . '' Second - in - line to the throne was the prince 's younger brother Albert ( `` Bertie '' ) . Albert and his wife , Elizabeth ( later the Queen Mother ) , had two children , including Princess Elizabeth ( `` Lilibet '' ) , the future Queen Elizabeth II . George V favoured Albert and his granddaughter Elizabeth and told a courtier , `` I pray to God that my eldest son will never marry and have children , and that nothing will come between Bertie and Lilibet and the throne . '' In 1929 , Time magazine reported that the Prince of Wales teased his sister - in - law , by calling her `` Queen Elizabeth '' . The magazine asked if `` she did not sometimes wonder how much truth there is in the story that he once said he would renounce his rights upon the death of George V -- which would make her nickname come true '' . In 1930 , George V gave the prince the lease of Fort Belvedere in Windsor Great Park . There , he continued his relationships with a series of married women , including Freda Dudley Ward and Lady Furness , the American wife of a British peer , who introduced the prince to her friend and fellow American Wallis Simpson . Simpson had divorced her first husband , U.S. naval officer Win Spencer , in 1927 . Her second husband , Ernest Simpson , was a British - American businessman . Wallis Simpson and the Prince of Wales , it is generally accepted , became lovers , while Lady Furness travelled abroad , although the prince adamantly insisted to his father that he was not having an affair with her and that it was not appropriate to describe her as his mistress . Edward 's relationship with Simpson , however , further weakened his poor relationship with his father . Although King George V and Queen Mary met Simpson at Buckingham Palace in 1935 , they later refused to receive her . Edward 's affair with an American divorcée led to such grave concern that the couple were followed by members of the Metropolitan Police Special Branch , who examined in secret the nature of their relationship . An undated report detailed a visit by the couple to an antique shop , where the proprietor later noted `` that the lady seemed to have POW ( Prince of Wales ) completely under her thumb . '' The prospect of having an American divorcée with a questionable past having such sway over the heir apparent led to anxiety among government and establishment figures . Reign ( edit ) Edward VIII surrounded by heralds of the College of Arms prior to his only State Opening of Parliament , 3 November 1936 King George V died on 20 January 1936 , and Edward ascended the throne as King Edward VIII . The next day , accompanied by Simpson , he broke with custom by watching the proclamation of his own accession from a window of St James 's Palace . He became the first monarch of the British Empire to fly in an aircraft when he flew from Sandringham to London for his Accession Council . Edward caused unease in government circles with actions that were interpreted as interference in political matters . His comment during a tour of depressed villages in South Wales that `` something must be done '' for the unemployed coal miners was seen as an attempt to guide government policy , though it has never been clear what sort of remedy he had in mind . Government ministers were reluctant to send confidential documents and state papers to Fort Belvedere , because it was clear that Edward was paying little attention to them , and it was feared that Simpson and other house guests might read them , improperly or inadvertently disclosing information that could be detrimental to the national interest . Edward 's unorthodox approach to his role also extended to the coinage that bore his image . He broke with the tradition that the profile portrait of each successive monarch faced in the direction opposite to that of his or her predecessor . Edward insisted that he face left ( as his father had done ) , to show the parting in his hair . Only a handful of test coins were struck before the abdication , and all are very rare . When George VI succeeded to the throne he also faced left to maintain the tradition by suggesting that , had any further coins been minted featuring Edward 's portrait , they would have shown him facing right . Left - facing coinage portrait of Edward VIII On 16 July 1936 , an Irish fraudster called Jerome Bannigan , alias George Andrew McMahon , produced a loaded revolver as Edward rode on horseback at Constitution Hill , near Buckingham Palace . Police spotted the gun and pounced on him ; he was quickly arrested . At Bannigan 's trial , he alleged that `` a foreign power '' had approached him to kill Edward , that he had informed MI5 of the plan , and that he was merely seeing the plan through to help MI5 catch the real culprits . The court rejected the claims and sent him to jail for a year for `` intent to alarm '' . It is now thought that Bannigan had indeed been in contact with MI5 , but the veracity of the remainder of his claims remains open . In August and September , Edward and Simpson cruised the Eastern Mediterranean on the steam yacht Nahlin . By October it was becoming clear that the new king planned to marry Simpson , especially when divorce proceedings between the Simpsons were brought at Ipswich Assizes . Preparations for all contingencies were made , including the prospect of the coronation of King Edward and Queen Wallis . Because of the religious implications of any marriage , plans were made to hold a secular coronation ceremony , not in the traditional religious location of Westminster Abbey , but in the Banqueting House in Whitehall . Although gossip about his affair was widespread in the United States , the British media kept voluntarily silent , and the public knew nothing until early December . Abdication ( edit ) Main article : Edward VIII abdication crisis Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson on their Mediterranean holiday , 1936 On 16 November 1936 , Edward invited British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin to Buckingham Palace and expressed his desire to marry Wallis Simpson when she became free to remarry . Baldwin informed him that his subjects would deem the marriage morally unacceptable , largely because remarriage after divorce was opposed by the Church of England , and the people would not tolerate Simpson as queen . As king , Edward was the titular head of the Church of England , and the clergy expected him to support the Church 's teachings . Edward proposed an alternative solution of a morganatic marriage , in which he would remain king but Simpson would not become queen . She would enjoy some lesser title instead , and any children they might have would not inherit the throne . This too was rejected by the British Cabinet as well as other Dominion governments , whose views were sought pursuant to the Statute of Westminster 1931 , which provided in part that `` any alteration in the law touching the Succession to the Throne or the Royal Style and Titles shall hereafter require the assent as well of the Parliaments of all the Dominions as of the Parliament of the United Kingdom . '' The Prime Ministers of Australia ( Joseph Lyons ) , Canada ( Mackenzie King ) and South Africa ( J.B.M. Hertzog ) made clear their opposition to the king marrying a divorcée ; their Irish counterpart ( Éamon de Valera ) expressed indifference and detachment , while the Prime Minister of New Zealand ( Michael Joseph Savage ) , having never heard of Simpson before , vacillated in disbelief . Faced with this opposition , Edward at first responded that there were `` not many people in Australia '' and their opinion did not matter . Edward informed Baldwin that he would abdicate if he could not marry Simpson . Baldwin then presented Edward with three choices : give up the idea of marriage ; marry against his ministers ' wishes ; or abdicate . It was clear that Edward was not prepared to give up Simpson , and he knew that if he married against the advice of his ministers , he would cause the government to resign , prompting a constitutional crisis . He chose to abdicate . Edward duly signed the instruments of abdication at Fort Belvedere on 10 December 1936 in the presence of his younger brothers : Prince Albert , Duke of York , next in line for the throne ; Prince Henry , Duke of Gloucester ; and Prince George , Duke of Kent . The next day , the last act of his reign was the royal assent to His Majesty 's Declaration of Abdication Act 1936 . As required by the Statute of Westminster , all the Dominions consented to the abdication . On the night of 11 December 1936 , Edward , now reverted to the title and style of a prince , explained his decision to abdicate in a worldwide radio broadcast . He famously said , `` I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as king as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love . '' Edward departed Britain for Austria the following day ; he was unable to join Simpson until her divorce became absolute , several months later . His brother , the Duke of York , succeeded to the throne as George VI . George VI 's elder daughter , Princess Elizabeth , became heir presumptive . Duke of Windsor ( edit ) On 12 December 1936 , at the accession meeting of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom , George VI announced he was to make his brother the `` Duke of Windsor '' with the style of Royal Highness . He wanted this to be the first act of his reign , although the formal documents were not signed until 8 March the following year . During the interim , Edward was universally known as the Duke of Windsor . George VI 's decision to create Edward a royal duke ensured that he could neither stand for election to the House of Commons nor speak on political subjects in the House of Lords . Letters Patent dated 27 May 1937 re-conferred the `` title , style , or attribute of Royal Highness '' upon the Duke of Windsor , but specifically stated that `` his wife and descendants , if any , shall not hold said title or attribute '' . Some British ministers advised that the reconfirmation was unnecessary since Edward had retained the style automatically , and further that Simpson would automatically obtain the rank of wife of a prince with the style Her Royal Highness ; others maintained that he had lost all royal rank and should no longer carry any royal title or style as an abdicated king , and be referred to simply as `` Mr Edward Windsor '' . On 14 April 1937 , Attorney General Sir Donald Somervell submitted to Home Secretary Sir John Simon a memorandum summarising the views of Lord Advocate T.M. Cooper , Parliamentary Counsel Sir Granville Ram , and himself : We incline to the view that on his abdication the Duke of Windsor could not have claimed the right to be described as a Royal Highness . In other words , no reasonable objection could have been taken if the King had decided that his exclusion from the lineal succession excluded him from the right to this title as conferred by the existing Letters Patent . The question however has to be considered on the basis of the fact that , for reasons which are readily understandable , he with the express approval of His Majesty enjoys this title and has been referred to as a Royal Highness on a formal occasion and in formal documents . In the light of precedent it seems clear that the wife of a Royal Highness enjoys the same title unless some appropriate express step can be and is taken to deprive her of it . We came to the conclusion that the wife could not claim this right on any legal basis . The right to use this style or title , in our view , is within the prerogative of His Majesty and he has the power to regulate it by Letters Patent generally or in particular circumstances . Château de Candé , the Windsors ' wedding venue The Duke of Windsor married Simpson , who had changed her name by deed poll to Wallis Warfield , in a private ceremony on 3 June 1937 , at Château de Candé , near Tours , France . When the Church of England refused to sanction the union , a County Durham clergyman , the Reverend Robert Anderson Jardine ( Vicar of St Paul 's , Darlington ) , offered to perform the ceremony , and the Duke accepted . The new king , George VI , forbade members of the royal family to attend , to the lasting resentment of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor . Edward had particularly wanted his brothers the Dukes of Gloucester and Kent and his second cousin Louis Mountbatten to attend the ceremony . The denial of the style Royal Highness to the Duchess of Windsor caused further conflict , as did the financial settlement . The Government declined to include the Duke or Duchess on the Civil List , and the Duke 's allowance was paid personally by George VI . The Duke compromised his position with his brother by concealing the extent of his financial worth when they informally agreed on the amount of the allowance . Edward 's wealth had accumulated from the revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall paid to him as Prince of Wales and ordinarily at the disposal of an incoming king . George VI also paid Edward for Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle , which were Edward 's personal property , inherited from his father , George V , and thus did not automatically pass to George VI on his accession . In the early days of George VI 's reign the Duke telephoned daily , importuning for money and urging that the Duchess be granted the style of Royal Highness , until the harassed king ordered that the calls not be put through . Relations between the Duke of Windsor and the rest of the royal family were strained for decades . The Duke had assumed that he would settle in Britain after a year or two of exile in France . King George VI ( with the support of Queen Mary and his wife Queen Elizabeth ) threatened to cut off Edward 's allowance if he returned to Britain without an invitation . Edward became embittered against his mother , Queen Mary , writing to her in 1939 : `` ( your last letter ) destroy ( ed ) the last vestige of feeling I had left for you ... ( and has ) made further normal correspondence between us impossible . '' Second World War ( edit ) The Duke and Duchess with Adolf Hitler , 1937 Edward reviewing a squad of SS with Robert Ley , 1937 In October 1937 , the Duke and Duchess visited Nazi Germany , against the advice of the British government , and met Adolf Hitler at his Berghof retreat in Bavaria . The visit was much publicised by the German media . During the visit the Duke gave full Nazi salutes . In Germany , `` they were treated like royalty ... members of the aristocracy would bow and curtsy towards her , and she was treated with all the dignity and status that the duke always wanted , '' according to royal biographer Andrew Morton . The former Austrian ambassador , Count Albert von Mensdorff - Pouilly - Dietrichstein , who was also a second cousin once removed and friend of George V , believed that Edward favoured German fascism as a bulwark against communism , and even that he initially favoured an alliance with Germany . According to the Duke of Windsor , the experience of `` the unending scenes of horror '' during the First World War led him to support appeasement . Hitler considered Edward to be friendly towards Germany and thought that Anglo - German relations could have been improved through Edward if it were not for the abdication . Albert Speer quoted Hitler directly : `` I am certain through him permanent friendly relations could have been achieved . If he had stayed , everything would have been different . His abdication was a severe loss for us . '' The Duke and Duchess settled in France . In May 1939 , the Duke was commissioned by NBC to give a radio broadcast ( his first since abdicating ) during a visit to the battlefields of Verdun . In it he appealed for peace , saying `` I am deeply conscious of the presence of the great company of the dead , and I am convinced that could they make their voices heard they would be with me in what I am about to say . I speak simply as a soldier of the Last War whose most earnest prayer it is that such cruel and destructive madness shall never again overtake mankind . There is no land whose people want war . '' The broadcast was heard across the world by millions . It was widely seen as supporting appeasement , and the BBC refused to broadcast it . It was broadcast outside the United States on shortwave radio and was reported in full by British broadsheet newspapers . On the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939 , the Duke and Duchess were brought back to Britain by Louis Mountbatten on board HMS Kelly , and Edward , although an honorary field marshal , was made a major - general attached to the British Military Mission in France . In February 1940 , the German ambassador in The Hague , Count Julius von Zech - Burkersroda , claimed that the Duke had leaked the Allied war plans for the defence of Belgium , which the Duke later denied . When Germany invaded the north of France in May 1940 , the Windsors fled south , first to Biarritz , then in June to Spain . In July the pair moved to Portugal , where they lived at first in the home of Ricardo Espírito Santo , a Portuguese banker with both British and German contacts . Under the code name Operation Willi , Nazi agents , principally Walter Schellenberg , plotted unsuccessfully to persuade the Duke to leave Portugal and return to Spain , kidnapping him if necessary . Lord Caldecote wrote a warning to Winston Churchill : `` ( the Duke ) is well - known to be pro-Nazi and he may become a centre of intrigue . '' Churchill threatened the Duke with a court - martial if he did not return to British soil . The Duke and Duchess of Windsor in Portugal , 1940 In July 1940 , Edward was appointed Governor of the Bahamas . The Duke and Duchess left Lisbon on 1 August aboard the American Export Lines steamship Excalibur , which was specially diverted from its usual direct course to New York City so that they could be dropped off at Bermuda on the 9th . They left Bermuda for Nassau on the Canadian steamship Lady Somers on 15 August , arriving two days later . The Duke did not enjoy being governor and referred to the islands as `` a third - class British colony '' . The British Foreign Office strenuously objected when the Duke and Duchess planned to cruise aboard a yacht belonging to a Swedish magnate , Axel Wenner - Gren , whom British and American intelligence wrongly believed to be a close friend of Luftwaffe commander Hermann Göring . The Duke was praised for his efforts to combat poverty on the islands , although he was as contemptuous of the Bahamians as he was of most non-white peoples of the Empire . He said of Étienne Dupuch , the editor of the Nassau Daily Tribune : `` It must be remembered that Dupuch is more than half Negro , and due to the peculiar mentality of this Race , they seem unable to rise to prominence without losing their equilibrium . '' He was praised , even by Dupuch , for his resolution of civil unrest over low wages in Nassau in 1942 , even though he blamed the trouble on `` mischief makers -- communists '' and `` men of Central European Jewish descent , who had secured jobs as a pretext for obtaining a deferment of draft '' . He resigned from the post on 16 March 1945 . Many historians have suggested that Hitler was prepared to reinstate Edward as king in the hope of establishing a fascist Britain . It is widely believed that the Duke and Duchess sympathised with fascism before and during the Second World War , and were moved to the Bahamas to minimise their opportunities to act on those feelings . In 1940 he said : `` In the past 10 years Germany has totally reorganised the order of its society ... Countries which were unwilling to accept such a reorganisation of society and its concomitant sacrifices should direct their policies accordingly . '' During the occupation of France , the Duke asked the German forces to place guards at his Paris and Riviera homes ; they did so . In December 1940 , the Duke gave Fulton Oursler of Liberty magazine an interview at Government House in Nassau . The interview was published on 22 March 1941 and in it the Duke was reported to have said that `` Hitler was the right and logical leader of the German people '' and that the time was coming for President Franklin D. Roosevelt to mediate a peace settlement . Oursler conveyed the content of the interview to the President in a private meeting at the White House on 23 December 1940 . The Duke protested that he had been misquoted and misinterpreted . The Allies became sufficiently disturbed by German plots revolving around the Duke that President Roosevelt ordered covert surveillance of the Duke and Duchess when they visited Palm Beach , Florida , in April 1941 . Duke Carl Alexander of Württemberg ( then a monk in an American monastery ) had told the Federal Bureau of Investigation that the Duchess had slept with the German ambassador in London , Joachim von Ribbentrop , in 1936 , had remained in constant contact with him , and had continued to leak secrets . Author Charles Higham claimed that Anthony Blunt , an MI5 agent and Soviet spy , acting on orders from the British royal family , made a successful secret trip to Schloss Friedrichshof in Germany towards the end of the war to retrieve sensitive letters between the Duke of Windsor and Adolf Hitler and other leading Nazis . What is certain is that George VI sent the Royal Librarian , Owen Morshead , accompanied by Blunt , then working part - time in the Royal Library as well as for British intelligence , to Friedrichshof in March 1945 to secure papers relating to the German Empress Victoria , the eldest child of Queen Victoria . Looters had stolen part of the castle 's archive , including surviving letters between daughter and mother , as well as other valuables , some of which were recovered in Chicago after the war . The papers rescued by Morshead and Blunt , and those returned by the American authorities from Chicago , were deposited in the Royal Archives . After the war , the Duke admitted in his memoirs that he admired the Germans , but he denied being pro-Nazi . Of Hitler he wrote : `` ( the ) Führer struck me as a somewhat ridiculous figure , with his theatrical posturings and his bombastic pretensions . '' In the 1950s , journalist Frank Giles heard the Duke blame British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden for helping to `` precipitate the war through his treatment of Mussolini ... that 's what ( Eden ) did , he helped to bring on the war ... and of course Roosevelt and the Jews '' . During the 1960s the Duke said privately to a friend , Patrick Balfour , 3rd Baron Kinross , `` I never thought Hitler was such a bad chap . '' Later life ( edit ) The Duke in 1945 At the end of the war , the couple returned to France and spent the remainder of their lives essentially in retirement as the Duke never occupied another official role after his wartime governorship of the Bahamas . Correspondence between the Duke and Kenneth de Courcy , dated between 1946 and 1949 , emerged in a US library in 2009 . The letters suggest a plot where the Duke would return to England and place himself in a position for a possible regency . The health of George VI was failing and de Courcy was concerned about the influence of the Mountbatten family over the young Princess Elizabeth . De Courcy suggested the Duke buy a working agricultural estate within an easy drive of London in order to gain favour with the British public and make himself available should the King become incapacitated . The Duke , however , hesitated and the King recovered from his surgery . The Duke 's allowance was supplemented by government favours and illegal currency trading . The City of Paris provided the Duke with a house at 4 route du Champ d'Entraînement , on the Neuilly - sur - Seine side of the Bois de Boulogne , for a nominal rent . The French government exempted him from paying income tax , and the couple were able to buy goods duty - free through the British embassy and the military commissary . In 1951 , the Duke produced a ghost - written memoir , A King 's Story , in which he expressed disagreement with liberal politics . The royalties from the book added to their income . Nine years later , he penned a relatively unknown book , A Family Album , chiefly about the fashion and habits of the royal family throughout his life , from the time of Queen Victoria to that of his grandfather and father , and his own tastes . The Duke and Duchess effectively took on the role of celebrities and were regarded as part of café society in the 1950s and 1960s . They hosted parties and shuttled between Paris and New York ; Gore Vidal , who met the Windsors socially , reported on the vacuity of the Duke 's conversation . The couple doted on the pug dogs they kept . In June 1953 , instead of attending the coronation of his niece in London , the Duke and Duchess watched the ceremony on television in Paris . The Duke said that it was contrary to precedent for a Sovereign or former Sovereign to attend any coronation of another . The Duke was paid to write articles on the ceremony for the Sunday Express and Woman 's Home Companion , as well as a short book , The Crown and the People , 1902 -- 1953 . U.S. President Richard Nixon and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor in 1970 In 1955 , they visited President Dwight D. Eisenhower at the White House . The couple appeared on Edward R. Murrow 's television interview show Person to Person in 1956 , and a 50 - minute BBC television interview in 1970 . That year , they were invited as guests of honour to a dinner at the White House by President Richard Nixon . The royal family never fully accepted the Duchess . Queen Mary refused to receive her formally . However , Edward sometimes met his mother and brother George VI , and attended George 's funeral in 1952 . Queen Mary remained angry with Edward and indignant over his marriage to Wallis : `` To give up all this for that '' , she said . In 1965 , the Duke and Duchess returned to London . They were visited by Elizabeth II , his sister - in - law Princess Marina , Duchess of Kent , and his sister Mary , Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood . A week later , the Princess Royal died , and they attended her memorial service . In 1967 , they joined the royal family for the centenary of Queen Mary 's birth . The last royal ceremony the Duke attended was the funeral of Princess Marina in 1968 . He declined an invitation from Elizabeth II to attend the investiture of the Prince of Wales in 1969 , replying that Prince Charles would not want his `` aged great - uncle '' there . In the 1960s , the Duke 's health deteriorated . In December 1964 , he was operated on by Michael E. DeBakey in Houston for an aneurysm of the abdominal aorta , and in February 1965 a detached retina in his left eye was treated by Sir Stewart Duke - Elder . In late 1971 , the Duke , who was a smoker from an early age , was diagnosed with throat cancer and underwent cobalt therapy . On 18 May 1972 , Queen Elizabeth II visited the Windsors while on a state visit to France ; she spoke with the Duke for fifteen minutes but only the Duchess appeared with the royal party for a photocall as the Duke was too ill . Death and legacy ( edit ) On 28 May 1972 , ten days after the Queen 's visit , the Duke died at his home in Paris , less than a month before his 78th birthday . His body was returned to Britain , lying in state at St George 's Chapel , Windsor Castle . The funeral service was held in the chapel on 5 June in the presence of the Queen , the royal family , and the Duchess of Windsor who stayed at Buckingham Palace during her visit . He was buried in the Royal Burial Ground behind the Royal Mausoleum of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert at Frogmore . Until a 1965 agreement with Queen Elizabeth II , the Duke and Duchess had planned for a burial in a cemetery plot they had purchased at Green Mount Cemetery in Baltimore , where the Duchess 's father was interred . Frail , and suffering increasingly from dementia , the Duchess died 14 years later , and was buried alongside her husband . In the view of historians , such as Philip Williamson writing in 2007 , the popular perception in the 21st century that the abdication was driven by politics rather than religious morality is false and arises because divorce has become much more common and socially acceptable . To modern sensibilities , the religious restrictions that prevented Edward from continuing as king while planning to marry Simpson `` seem , wrongly , to provide insufficient explanation '' for his abdication .

when did duke of windsor return to england
[ "On the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939, the Duke and Duchess were brought back to Britain by Louis Mountbatten on board HMS Kelly, and Edward, although an honorary field marshal, was made a major-general attached to the British Military Mission in France.[11] In February 1940, the German ambassador in The Hague, Count Julius von Zech-Burkersroda, claimed that the Duke had leaked the Allied war plans for the defence of Belgium,[93] which the Duke later denied.[94] When Germany invaded the north of France in May 1940, the Windsors fled south, first to Biarritz, then in June to Spain. In July the pair moved to Portugal, where they lived at first in the home of Ricardo Espírito Santo, a Portuguese banker with both British and German contacts.[95] Under the code name Operation Willi, Nazi agents, principally Walter Schellenberg, plotted unsuccessfully to persuade the Duke to leave Portugal and return to Spain, kidnapping him if necessary.[96] Lord Caldecote wrote a warning to Winston Churchill: \"[the Duke] is well-known to be pro-Nazi and he may become a centre of intrigue.\"[97] Churchill threatened the Duke with a court-martial if he did not return to British soil.[98]\n" ]

Series of tubes
Series of tubes - wikipedia Series of tubes Jump to : navigation , search Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens referred to the Internet as `` a series of tubes '' . `` A series of tubes '' is a phrase coined originally as an analogy by then - United States Senator Ted Stevens ( R - Alaska ) to describe the Internet in the context of opposing network neutrality . On June 28 , 2006 , he used this metaphor to criticize a proposed amendment to a committee bill . The amendment would have prohibited Internet Access providers such as AT&T , Comcast , Time Warner Cable , and Verizon Communications from charging fees to give some companies ' data a higher priority in relation to other traffic . The metaphor has been widely ridiculed , particularly because Stevens displayed an extremely limited understanding of the Internet , even though he was in charge of regulating it . Edward Felten , Princeton University professor of computer science , pointed out the unfairness of some criticisms of Stevens ' wording , while maintaining that the underlying arguments were rather weak . Contents ( hide ) 1 Partial text of Stevens ' comments 2 Media commentary 3 Pop culture references 4 Tribute 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Partial text of Stevens ' comments ( edit ) Ted Stevens 's Quotes I got it yesterday Problems listening to the files ? See media help . `` Ten movies streaming across that , that Internet , and what happens to your own personal Internet ? I just the other day got ... an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday . I got it yesterday ( Tuesday ) . Why ? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially . ( ... ) They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet . And again , the Internet is not something that you just dump something on . It 's not a big truck . It 's a series of tubes . And if you do n't understand , those tubes can be filled and if they are filled , when you put your message in , it gets in line and it 's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material , enormous amounts of material . '' Media commentary ( edit ) On June 28 , 2006 , Public Knowledge government affairs manager Alex Curtis wrote a brief blog entry introducing the senator 's speech and posted an MP3 recording . The next day , the Wired magazine blog 27B Stroke 6 featured a lengthier post by Ryan Singel , which included Singel 's transcriptions of some parts of Stevens ' speech considered the most humorous . Within days , thousands of other blogs and message boards posted the story . Most writers and commentators derisively cited several of Stevens ' misunderstandings of Internet technology , arguing that the speech showed that he had formed a strong opinion on a topic which he understood poorly ( e.g. , referring to an e-mail message as `` an Internet '' and blaming bandwidth issues for an e-mail problem much more likely to be caused by mail server or routing issues ) . The story sparked mainstream media attention , including a mention in the New York Times . The technology podcast This Week in Tech discussed the incident . According to The Wall Street Journal , as summarized by MediaPost commentator Ross Fadner : `` `` The Internet is a Series of Tubes ! '' spawned a new slogan that became a rallying cry for Net neutrality advocates ... Stevens ' overly simplistic description of the Web 's infrastructure made it easy for pro-neutrality activists to label the other side as old and out - of - touch . '' Pop culture references ( edit ) The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has made multiple references to `` Techno '' Ted Stevens 's `` series of tubes '' description ; as a result , Stevens has become well known as the person who once headed the committee charged with regulating the Internet . `` I have a letter from a big scientist who said I was absolutely right in using the word ' tubes ' , '' Stevens said to reporters in response to The Daily Show 's coverage . When asked if he 'd think about going on the show to debate Jon Stewart , Stevens replied , `` I 'd consider it . '' Google has included references to this in two of its products . Gears ' about box says `` the gears that power the tubes '' and Google Chrome had an about : easter egg at the address about : internets which displayed a screensaver of tubes ( if Windows XP 's SSPIPES. SCR is installed ) with the page title `` Do n't Clog the Tubes ! '' When `` about : internets '' was entered on a computer lacking that screensaver , the tab displayed a gray screen with the page title `` The Tubes are Clogged ! '' This easter egg was removed as of the 2.0. 159.1 release . The documentation for developing Chrome extensions includes a near - verbatim quote of the `` series of tubes '' paragraph when describing its chrome. storage class . Tribute ( edit ) Alexandra Petri of the Washington Post wrote a humorous article entitled `` Sen. Stevens , the tubes salute you '' after Stevens died in an airplane crash August 9 , 2010 : And as people remember him , make ill - timed jests , and muse on his legacy -- all in real time , in great profusion -- I worry that they are disrupting the ability of people elsewhere to receive their Internets . But for us in the Facebook generation who were n't around for the first plane crash and know the Bridge to Nowhere primarily as an SNL punchline , the senator 's legacy is in that series of tubes . The `` Bridge to Nowhere '' refers to the Gravina Island Bridge , another issue Stevens was responsible for , for which he was also mocked .

It exists in two versions , a 4 : 49 single mix and a 7 : 30 album mix . `` You Ca n't Always Get What You Want '' was recorded on 16 and 17 November 1968 at Olympic Sound Studios in London . It features the London Bach Choir opening the song ( the choir opening is only on the album version ) , highlighting throughout , and bringing it to its conclusion . Jimmy Miller , the Stones ' producer at the time , plays drums on this song instead of Charlie Watts . Al Kooper plays piano and organ , as well as the French horn intro , while Rocky Dijon plays congas and maracas . Of the song , Jagger said : `` `` You Ca n't Always Get What You Want '' was something I just played on the acoustic guitar -- one of those bedroom songs . It proved to be quite difficult to record because Charlie could n't play the groove and so Jimmy Miller had to play the drums . I 'd also had this idea of having a choir , probably a gospel choir , on the track , but there was n't one around at that point . Jack Nitzsche , or somebody , said that we could get the London Bach Choir and we said , `` That will be a laugh . '' '' In his review of the song , Richie Unterberger of AllMusic said : `` If you buy John Lennon 's observation that the Rolling Stones were apt to copy the Beatles ' innovations within a few months or so , ' You Ca n't Always Get What You Want ' is the Rolling Stones ' counterpart to ' Hey Jude ' . '' Jagger said in 1969 , `` I liked the way the Beatles did that with ' Hey Jude ' . The orchestra was not just to cover everything up -- it was something extra . We may do something like that on the next album . '' Meaning ( edit ) The three verses ( along with the varied theme in the fourth verse ) address the major topics of the 1960s : love , politics , and drugs . Each verse captures the essence of the initial optimism and eventual disillusion , followed by the resigned pragmatism in the chorus . Unterberger noted : `` Much has been made of the lyrics reflecting the end of the overlong party that was the 1960s , as a snapshot of Swinging London burning out . That 's a valid interpretation , but it should also be pointed out that there 's also an uplifting and reassuring quality to the melody and performance . This is particularly true of the key lyrical hook , when we are reminded that we ca n't always get what we want , but we 'll get what we need . '' A man named Jimmy Hutmaker of Excelsior , Minnesota , claimed that he was the `` Mr. Jimmy '' mentioned in the song and that he said the phrase `` you ca n't always get what you want '' to Jagger during a chance encounter at a drug store in Excelsior in 1964 . David Dalton , a writer for Rolling Stone who witnessed the filming of The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus claims in his commentary track for the DVD of the concert that `` Mr. Jimmy '' refers to Jimmy Miller , the producer of all of the Rolling Stones ' albums from Beggar 's Banquet ( 1968 ) through Goat 's Head Soup ( 1973 ) , and the drummer on `` You Ca n't Always Get What You Want '' . Release and aftermath ( edit ) The song was originally released on the B - side of `` Honky Tonk Women '' in July 1969 . Although it did not chart at the time , London Records re-serviced the single in 1973 and `` You Ca n't Always Get What You Want '' reached number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 34 on the Cashbox Top 100 Singles chart . One of the Stones ' most popular recordings , it has since appeared on the compilations Hot Rocks , Singles Collection ( single version ) , Forty Licks , Rolled Gold+ : The Very Best of the Rolling Stones ( 2007 edition ) , Singles 1968 - 1971 ( single version ) , Slow Rollers ( single version ) and GRRR ! ( single version ) . The song is also very popular at Rolling Stones shows in part because of its sing - along chorus , and is played at almost every show , where it is customary for Jagger to change the lyrics from `` my favourite flavour , cherry red '' to the question `` What 's your favourite flavour ? '' to which the audience replies `` Cherry red ! '' Live recordings appear on the albums Love You Live , Flashpoint , Live Licks , and Sweet Summer Sun : Hyde Park Live , as well as on The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus , filmed in 1968 . Stones concert films that contain the song include : Ladies and Gentlemen : The Rolling Stones , From the Vault -- L.A Forum - Live in 1975 , Let 's Spend the Night Together , Stones at the Max , Bridges to Babylon Tour ' 97 -- 98 , Four Flicks , The Biggest Bang , and ' Sweet Summer Sun : Hyde Park Live . The musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch includes a reference to the song , where the lead character explains she was dismissed from a university after delivering a lecture on the influence of German philosophy on rock and roll , entitled `` You , Kant , Always Get What You Want . '' The 2014 revival on Broadway added the line , `` But If You Try Sometimes You Just Might Find You Get What You Nietzsche . '' The song was performed live with members of Voce Chamber Choir and London Youth Choir for the Stones ' 2012 reunion shows in London , November 25 and November 29 . The same choir also performed on the track at Glastonbury and two performances at Hyde Park in 2013 . Donald Trump used the song at campaign appearances in 2016 , it played after his victory speech on the night of the United States presidential election , 2016 , and continues to use it after his speeches to public audiences . The Stones have publicly disapproved of Trump 's use of their music . In November 2016 MP4 , a rock group comprising four British politicians , recorded a single of the track with Ricky Wilson of the Kaiser Chiefs , KT Tunstall , David Gray , Steve Harley of Cockney Rebel and members of the UK Parliamentary Choir under the band name `` Friends of Jo Cox '' in tribute to the late MP Jo Cox who was murdered earlier in the year . A 6 minute full version of the track and a 4 minute edit , together with a video , were the first releases on the newly re-established Chrysalis Records on 16th December with all proceeds going to charity . In support of this initiative , Mick Jagger and Keith Richards agreed to waive their royalties from the release . This version of the single peaked at number 2 on the Official Independent Singles Breakers Chart .

In 1983 , the NHL added a five - minute overtime , and ties would only occur after 65 minutes . Starting in 1999 , teams played with only four skaters ( unless they were on a two - man advantage , when they would be awarded an extra skater until the next stoppage ) . Starting in 2015 the NHL began 3 - on - 3 overtime periods . Starting with the 1999 - 2000 season , the NHL credited one point to the team that lost in overtime , leading to a system in which teams could potentially earn three points between them in a single game , rather than a fixed number of two previously . In 2005 , the league eliminated ties meaning that any game which went to overtime would be a three - point game . Games that did n't end in overtime would end in a shootout between the two teams . These changes in points awarded therefore make strict comparisons in wins , losses , and ties ( after overtime , 1983 -- 99 , and in regulation , 1999 -- present ) before and after these dates slightly problematic . Postseason records ( edit ) Longest Playoff Game : Detroit Red Wings vs Montreal Maroons on March 24 , 1936 ( 60 minutes of regulation , 116 minutes , 30 seconds of overtime for a total of 176 minutes and 30 seconds .

( January 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Ninth grade , freshman year , or grade 9 is the ninth post-kindergarten year of school education in some school systems . Ninth grade is often the first school year of high school in the United States , or the last year of middle / junior high school . Students are usually 14 -- 15 years old .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Argentina 2 Australia 3 Belgium 4 Canada 5 Costa Rica 6 Denmark 7 Finland 8 France 9 Germany 10 Hong Kong 11 India 12 Ireland 13 Italy 14 New Zealand 15 Malaysia 16 Mexico 17 Norway 18 Pakistan 19 Philippines 20 Portugal 21 Singapore 22 Sweden 23 Spain 24 United Kingdom 24.1 England and Wales 24.2 Scotland 25 United States 26 See also Argentina ( edit ) In Argentina , this is `` Third Year '' and last year of `` Basic Cycle '' of secondary school , and depending of the province , students are 14 or 15 years old . This is because in Argentina , there 's kindergarten , primary school , and secondary school . In some provinces of the country , primary is from `` 1st grade '' to `` 7th grade '' and secondary school from `` 1st year '' to `` 6th year '' . In other provinces , primary school is from `` 1st grade '' to `` 6th grade '' , and secondary school from `` 1st year '' to `` 6th year '' or `` 7th grade '' , if the school has it . All technical schools have `` 7th grade '' . So basically there are between 12 and 13 ( most of schools ) , years of school in the Argentinian Educative System , without counting kindergarten , which can be from 3 - 5 or 4 - 5 years old . Normal subjects for a third - year student are : Geography : Commonly , National Geography , as in 1st year it 's Worldwide Geography , and in 2nd year American Geography . History : The same that happens with Geography ; National History . Spanish : Studying techniques , and writing of books , novels , and any other texts .

Australia ( edit ) In Australia , secondary school ( sometimes referred to as high school ) starts in grade 8 for South Australia and grade 7 for New South Wales , Queensland , Tasmania , Western Australia and Victoria . Belgium ( edit ) In Belgium , the 9th grade is called derde middelbaar in the Dutch speaking north and 3ème secondaire in the French speaking south . In some bureaus of the country , the 9th grade can be removed from one 's educator curriculum in order to put the student in an appropriate class study level . Canada ( edit ) In much of Canada Grade 9 is either the final year of junior high school or the first year of senior high school . Some schools combine junior and senior years into one school . In Quebec Grade 9 is the middle year of its five - year high school program ( unlike in the rest of Canada , Quebec high schools end at Grade 11 ) , and in Yukon Grade 9 is the middle year of junior high school . Costa Rica ( edit ) In Costa Rica , ninth grade is the middle of high school , ( here there are five years of high school then you graduate and go to college ) , you get a diploma and continue studying two more years , you finish when you complete five years from 13 to 17 years old , but in ninth grade your age is 15 years old . Denmark ( edit ) In Denmark , ninth grade is around the same thing as in Sweden . Afterwards , one can choose to go through tenth grade , but it is not required . The students are 15 -- 16 years old . Ninth grade is the year of first final exams and the last year of `` folkeskolen '' ( the first 10 years of education . Starts from 0th grade to 9th grade ) . After they can choose the 10th grade , or go to a brand new school of higher education for two ( HF , HG ) or three years ( STX , HHX , HTX ) . The first year of higher education is called 1. g ( from 15 -- 18 years old ) , the second year is 2. g ( from 16 - 19 ) and the third year is 3. g ( from 17 - 20 ) . The age depends on when you started 0th grade and if you took a 10th grade . When you finish 3. g , you get a white hat ( studenterhue ) , with either a blue or a red ribbon around it . The colour of the ribbon depends of the school ( HG , HF , HTX , HHX = blue ; STX = red ) . An education at STX involves all the lessons you can have in Denmark , while HHX and HTX is more the lessons you want yourself and you mix it yourself . HF and HG is usual an easier education than STX , HHX and HTX . After those two or three years , you can go to a university / college to get an even higher education ( usually at the years of 19 / 20 until you finish . Depends on what you 're studying ) . In STX you learn Danish , French / Spanish / German ( at least one these ) , English , math , physics , chemistry , biology , health , Latin , EP , nature geography , GLU ( general language understanding ) , art / drama / media course / music ( at least one of these as artistic lessons ) , history , psychology / philosophy ( at least one of these ) , classical studies , and social studies . In HHX , HTX you chose some of these lessons and mix it on your own . You can have the lessons on an A-level ( means every three years ) , B - level ( two of the years ) , C - level ( one of the years ) . In STX you must have Danish and history in an A-level , and English in either A or B . The rest you make up by choice , and you can change it during the years . The levels of the lessons also depend of the subject line you chose . There 're the linguistic lines , the social study lines , the math lines , the chemistry lines , the physics lines , the biotech lines , the music lines and sport lines . The EP / health lessons are either on a C or B - level , but no matter what you chose you have it every year . Here the levels just tell if you 're very good at sport and you just really love it , or if you 're not that interested in it . If you 're on a B - level you 'll have quite more EP - lessons than the C - level . You go to exams in 1. g , 2. g and 3. g . The grades are following ( starting with the worst , ending with the best ) : - 3 : means you performed unacceptably. 00 : dumped . 02 : acceptable , but not good . 4 : low average but okay . 7 : high average and good . 10 : over the average , very good job . 12 : much over the average , excellent job .

In the math curriculum , ninth graders are usually taught Algebra , but advanced math include Geometry or Algebra II . Most basic students usually take Pre-Algebra in their last year of middle school , advanced students will take Algebra I , and Honors students will take honors pre-algebra . Advanced courses are usually available to ninth graders who are prepared for a more rigorous curriculum , depending on the school district . Some districts across the country allow their 10th graders to take Trigonometry or AP Statistics , or even Calculus if the district provides , but most often , the highest level available to be taken as a 10th grader is Pre-Calculus . In the English curriculum , most schools still have the same levels of basic courses , advanced courses , and honors courses . The basic level for a 9th grader is often listed as English I ( may also be called English 9 ) . This course will often teach the fundamentals of higher - level literature and how to analyze and respond to such literature . The advanced course is often English II ( may also be called English 10 ) depending on the school district and is usually a genre studies type of English class , but it may instead be focused on one type of literature , such as American literature or British Literature . The honors level for 9th grade is usually English I HNR ( may also be called Honors English I ) and is usually focused on one type of literature ( i.e. American Literature , British Literature ) , but if this was already covered it previous classes , it may be a genre study English course . Although rare , a district or school may allow a student to take AP Literature their 9th grade year . In the social studies curriculum , there is a variety of different courses that may be offered . Most often , though , the course is either a Geography class , a Government class , a World History class , or a Exploring Civics class . In the science curriculum , ninth grade students are required , in most areas , to take Earth Science , Science Topics , or Biology . As far as the course level , Integrated Science 1A is usually taken by the basic student . Most high school students are required to have one carnegie unit of Computer Science , one unit of Physical Education , and one unit of Health Education in order to graduate . These students are usually offered foreign language this year . This is often the first introduction of foreign language to the students .

Muses
Muses - wikipedia Muses `` Muse '' redirects here . For other uses , see Muse ( disambiguation ) . This article is about the Ancient Greek goddesses . For other uses , see The Muse ( disambiguation ) . Muse , perhaps Clio , reading a scroll ( Attic red - figure lekythos , Boeotia , c. 430 BC ) The Muses ( / ˈmjuːzɪz / ; Ancient Greek : Μοῦσαι , Moũsai ) are the inspirational goddesses of literature , science , and the arts in Greek mythology . They were considered the source of the knowledge embodied in the poetry , lyric songs , and myths that were related orally for centuries in these ancient cultures . They were later adopted by the Romans as a part of their pantheon . In current English usage , `` muse '' can refer in general to a person who inspires an artist , musician , or writer .

R.S.P. Beekes rejects both etymologies and suggests a Pre-Greek origin . Number and names ( edit ) Gustave Moreau : Hesiod and the Muse ( 1891 ) -- Musée d'Orsay , Paris The earliest known records of the Nine Muses are from Boeotia , the homeland of Hesiod . Some ancient authorities thought that the Nine Muses were of Thracian origin . There , a tradition persisted that the Muses had once been three in number . In the first century BC , Diodorus Siculus quotes Hesiod to the contrary , observing : Writers similarly disagree also concerning the number of the Muses ; for some say that there are three , and others that there are nine , but the number nine has prevailed since it rests upon the authority of the most distinguished men , such as Homer and Hesiod and others like them . Diodorus also states ( Book I. 18 ) that Osiris first recruited the nine Muses , along with the Satyrs , while passing through Ethiopia , before embarking on a tour of all Asia and Europe , teaching the arts of cultivation wherever he went . According to Hesiod 's account ( c. 600 BC ) , generally followed by the writers of antiquity , the Nine Muses were the nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne ( i . e . `` Memory '' personified ) , figuring as personifications of knowledge and the arts , especially literature , dance and music . The Roman scholar Varro ( 116 -- 27 BC ) relates that there are only three Muses : one born from the movement of water , another who makes sound by striking the air , and a third who is embodied only in the human voice . They were called Melete or `` Practice '' , Mneme or `` Memory '' and Aoide or `` Song '' . Three ancient Muses were also reported in Plutarch 's ( 46 -- 120 AD ) Quaestiones Convivales ( 9. I4. 2 -- 4 ) . However , the classical understanding of the Muses tripled their triad and established a set of nine goddesses , who embody the arts and inspire creation with their graces through remembered and improvised song and mime , writing , traditional music , and dance . It was not until Hellenistic times that the following systematic set of functions was assigned to them , and even then there was some variation in both their names and their attributes : Calliope ( epic poetry ) , Clio ( history ) , Euterpe ( flutes and lyric poetry ) , Thalia ( comedy and pastoral poetry ) , Melpomene ( tragedy ) , Terpsichore ( dance ) , Erato ( love poetry ) , Polyhymnia ( sacred poetry ) , Urania ( astronomy ) . The nine Muses on a Roman sarcophagus ( second century AD ) -- Louvre , Paris According to Pausanias in the later second century AD , there were originally three Muses , worshipped on Mount Helicon in Boeotia : Aoidḗ ( `` song '' or `` tune '' ) , Melétē ( `` practice '' or `` occasion '' ) , and Mnḗmē ( `` memory '' ) . Together , these three form the complete picture of the preconditions of poetic art in cult practice . In Delphi three Muses were worshiped as well , but with other names : Nḗtē , Mésē , and Hýpatē , which are assigned as the names of the three cords of the ancient musical instrument , the lyre . Alternatively , later they were called Kēphisṓ , Apollōnís , and Borysthenís , which names characterize them as daughters of Apollo . In a later tradition , a set of four Muses were recognized : Thelxinóē , Aoidḗ Archē , and Melétē , said to be daughters of Zeus and Plusia or of Ouranos . One of the people frequently associated with the Muses was Pierus . By some he was called the father ( by a Pimpleian nymph , called Antiope by Cicero ) of a total of seven Muses , called Neilṓ ( Νειλώ ) , Tritṓnē ( Τριτώνη ) , Asōpṓ ( Ἀσωπώ ) , Heptápora ( Ἑπτάπορα ) , Achelōís , Tipoplṓ ( Τιποπλώ ) , and Rhodía ( Ῥοδία ) . Mythology ( edit ) Thalia , Muse of comedy , holding a comic mask ( detail from the `` Muses Sarcophagus '' ) Apollo and the Muses on Mount Helicon ( 1680 ) by Claude Lorrain According to Hesiod 's Theogony ( seventh century BC ) , they were daughters of Zeus , king of the gods , and Mnemosyne , Titan goddess of memory . For Alcman and Mimnermus , they were even more primordial , springing from the early deities Ouranos and Gaia . Gaia is Mother Earth , an early mother goddess who was worshipped at Delphi from prehistoric times , long before the site was rededicated to Apollo , possibly indicating a transfer to association with him after that time . Sometimes the Muses are referred to as water nymphs , associated with the springs of Helicon and with Pieris . It was said that the winged horse Pegasus touched his hooves to the ground on Helicon , causing four sacred springs to burst forth , from which the Muses were born . Athena later tamed the horse and presented him to the Muses ( compare the Roman inspiring nymphs of springs , the Camenae , the Völva of Norse Mythology and also the apsaras in the mythology of classical India ) . Classical writers set Apollo as their leader , Apollon Mousagetēs ( `` Apollo Muse - leader '' ) . In one myth , the Muses judged a contest between Apollo and Marsyas . They also gathered the pieces of the dead body of Orpheus , son of Calliope , and buried them in Leivithra . In a later myth , Thamyris challenged them to a singing contest . They won and punished Thamyris by blinding him and robbing him of his singing ability . According to a myth from Ovid 's Metamorphoses -- alluding to the connection of the Muses with Pieria -- Pierus , king of Macedon , had nine daughters he named after the nine Muses , believing that their skills were a great match to the Muses . He thus challenged the Muses to a match , resulting in his daughters , the Pierides , being turned into chattering magpies for their presumption . Pausanias records a tradition of two generations of Muses ; the first are the daughters of Ouranos and Gaia , the second of Zeus and Mnemosyne . Another , rarer genealogy is that they are daughters of Harmonia ( the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares ) , which contradicts the myth in which they were dancing at the wedding of Harmonia and Cadmus . Emblems ( edit ) Polyhymnia , the Muse of sacred poetry , sacred hymn and eloquence as well as agriculture and pantomime . Muse Domain Emblem Calliope Epic poetry Writing tablet , Stylus , Lyre Clio History Scrolls , Books , Cornet , Laurel wreath Euterpe Music , Song , and Lyric Poetry Aulos ( an ancient Greek musical instrument like a flute ) , panpipes , laurel wreath Erato Love poetry Cithara ( an ancient Greek musical instrument in the lyre family ) Melpomene Tragedy Tragic mask , Sword ( or any kind of blade ) , Club , Kothornos ( boots ) Polyhymnia Hymns Veil , Grapes ( referring to her as an agricultural goddess ) Terpsichore Dance Lyre , Plectrum Thalia Comedy Comic mask , Shepherd 's crook ( the vaudeville act of pulling someone off the stage with a hook is a reference to Thalia 's crook ) , Ivy wreath Urania Astronomy Globe and compass Some Greek writers give the names of the nine Muses as Kallichore , Helike , Eunike , Thelxinoë , Terpsichore , Euterpe , Eukelade , Dia , and Enope . In Renaissance and Neoclassical art , the dissemination of emblem books such as Cesare Ripa 's Iconologia ( 1593 and many further editions ) helped standardize the depiction of the Muses in sculpture and painting , so they could be distinguished by certain props . These props , or emblems , became readily identifiable by the viewer , enabling one immediately to recognize the Muse and the art with which she had become associated . Here again , Calliope ( epic poetry ) carries a writing tablet ; Clio ( history ) carries a scroll and books ; Euterpe ( song and elegiac poetry ) carries a flute , the aulos ; Erato ( lyric poetry ) is often seen with a lyre and a crown of roses ; Melpomene ( tragedy ) is often seen with a tragic mask ; Polyhymnia ( sacred poetry ) is often seen with a pensive expression ; Terpsichore ( choral dance and song ) is often seen dancing and carrying a lyre ; Thalia ( comedy ) is often seen with a comic mask ; and Urania ( astronomy ) carries a pair of compasses and the celestial globe . Functions ( edit ) In society ( edit ) The Muses Clio , Euterpe , and Thalia , by Eustache Le Sueur Greek mousa is a common noun as well as a type of goddess : it literally means `` art '' or `` poetry '' . According to Pindar , to `` carry a mousa '' is `` to excel in the arts '' . The word derives from the Indo - European root men - , which is also the source of Greek Mnemosyne and mania , English `` mind '' , `` mental '' and `` monitor '' , Sanskrit mantra and Avestan Mazda . The Muses Melpomene , Erato , and Polyhymnia , by Eustache Le Sueur The Muses , therefore , were both the embodiments and sponsors of performed metrical speech : mousike ( whence the English term `` music '' ) was just `` one of the arts of the Muses '' . Others included Science , Geography , Mathematics , Philosophy , and especially Art , Drama , and inspiration . In the archaic period , before the widespread availability of books ( scrolls ) , this included nearly all of learning . The first Greek book on astronomy , by Thales , took the form of dactylic hexameters , as did many works of pre-Socratic philosophy . Both Plato and the Pythagoreans explicitly included philosophy as a sub-species of mousike . The Histories of Herodotus , whose primary medium of delivery was public recitation , were divided by Alexandrian editors into nine books , named after the nine Muses . For poet and `` law - giver '' Solon , the Muses were `` the key to the good life '' ; since they brought both prosperity and friendship . Solon sought to perpetuate his political reforms by establishing recitations of his poetry -- complete with invocations to his practical - minded Muses -- by Athenian boys at festivals each year . He believed that the Muses would help inspire people to do their best . Invoking the Muse in literature ( edit ) Melpomene and Polyhymnia , Palacio de Bellas Artes , Mexico Ancient authors and their imitators invoke Muses when writing poetry , hymns or epic history . The invocation occurs near the beginning of their work . It asks for help or inspiration from the Muses , or simply invites the Muse to sing directly through the author . Originally , the invocation of the Muse was an indication that the speaker was working inside the poetic tradition , according to the established formulas . For example : Sing to me of the man , Muse , the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course , once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy . -- Homer , in Book I of The Odyssey ( Robert Fagles translation , 1996 ) O Muse ! the causes and the crimes relate ; What goddess was provok 'd , and whence her hate ; For what offense the Queen of Heav'n began To persecute so brave , so just a man ; ( ... ) -- Virgil , in Book I of the Aeneid ( John Dryden translation , 1697 ) Besides Homer and Virgil , other famous works that included an invocation of the Muse are the first of the carmina by Catullus , Ovid 's Metamorphoses and Amores , Dante 's Inferno ( Canto II ) , Chaucer 's Troilus and Criseyde ( Book II ) , Shakespeare 's Henry V ( Act 1 , Prologue ) , his 38th sonnet , and Milton 's Paradise Lost ( opening of Book 1 ) . From cults to modern museums ( edit ) The Car of History , a chariot clock by Carlo Franzoni , 1819 , depicting Clio . When Pythagoras arrived at Croton , his first advice to the Crotoniates was to build a shrine to the Muses at the center of the city , to promote civic harmony and learning . Local cults of the Muses often became associated with springs or with fountains . The Muses themselves were sometimes called Aganippids because of their association with a fountain called Aganippe . Other fountains , Hippocrene and Pirene , were also important locations associated with the Muses . Some sources occasionally referred to the Muses as `` Corycides '' ( or `` Corycian nymphs '' ) after a cave on Mount Parnassos , called the Corycian Cave . Pausanias referred to the Muses by the surnames `` Ardalides '' or `` Ardaliotides '' , because of a sanctuary to them at Troezen said to have been built by the mythical Ardalus . The Muses were venerated especially in Boeotia , in the Valley of the Muses near Helicon , and in Delphi and the Parnassus , where Apollo became known as Mousagetes ( `` Muse - leader '' ) after the sites were rededicated to his cult . Often Muse - worship was associated with the hero - cults of poets : the tombs of Archilochus on Thasos and of Hesiod and Thamyris in Boeotia all played host to festivals in which poetic recitations accompanied sacrifices to the Muses . The Library of Alexandria and its circle of scholars formed around a mousaion ( i . e. `` museum '' or shrine of the Muses ) close to the tomb of Alexander the Great . Many Enlightenment figures sought to re-establish a `` Cult of the Muses '' in the 18th century . A famous Masonic lodge in pre-Revolutionary Paris was called Les Neuf Soeurs ( `` The Nine Sisters '' , that is , the Nine Muses ) ; Voltaire , Benjamin Franklin , Danton , and other influential Enlightenment figures attended it . As a side - effect of this movement the word `` museum '' ( originally , `` cult place of the Muses '' ) came to refer to a place for the public display of knowledge . Modern Use ( edit ) Not only are the Muses explicitly used in modern English to refer to an artistic inspiration , as when one cites one 's own artistic muse , but they also are implicit in words and phrases such as `` amuse '' , `` museum '' ( Latinised from mouseion -- a place where the Muses were worshipped ) , `` music '' , and `` musing upon '' . In current literature , the influential role that the Muse plays has been extended to the political sphere . Along with a majority of the Greek Gods , five of the Muses ( Thalia , Clio , Calliope , Melpomene and Terpsicore ) appeared in the Walt Disney animated film Hercules ( based on Hercules ) , where they narrate the film through gospel - inspired song and dance . These versions of the Muses are modeled after African American Gospel singers . All nine muses appear in the 1980 film Xanadu , with actress Olivia Newton - John as Terpsicore . All nine Muses appeared in several paintings in the 72 - piece art collection of Dante 's Inferno by Dino Di Durante , which is printed in books titled Inferno : The Art Collection and available in 33 languages . This said collection was also featured in the medium length film Dante 's Hell Animated by Boris Acosta . In New Orleans , Louisiana , there are streets named for all nine Muses , This said collection was also featured in the medium length film Dante 's Hell Animated by Boris Acosta . In New Orleans , Louisiana , there are streets named for all nine Muses . It is commonly held that the local pronunciation of the names has been colorfully anglicized in an unusual manner by the `` Yat '' dialect . The pronunciations are actually in line with the French , Spanish and Creole roots of the city .

Stretching from The Presidio east to The Embarcadero ( with a gap on Telegraph Hill ) , most of the street 's western segment is a major thoroughfare designated as part of U.S. Route 101 . The famous one - block section , claimed to be `` the crookedest street in the world '' , is located along the eastern segment in the Russian Hill neighborhood . It is a major tourist attraction , receiving around two million visitors per year and up to 17,000 per day on busy summer weekends , as of 2015 . The street was named after Lombard Street in Philadelphia by San Francisco surveyor Jasper O'Farrell . Contents 1 Route description 2 Gallery 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Route description ( edit ) Looking east down the curvy block of Lombard Street , with the straight section continuing towards Telegraph Hill and Coit Tower Lombard Street 's west end is at Presidio Boulevard inside The Presidio ; it then heads east through the Cow Hollow neighborhood . For 12 blocks , between Broderick Street and Van Ness Avenue , it is an arterial road that is co-signed as U.S. Route 101 . Lombard Street continues through the Russian Hill neighborhood and to the Telegraph Hill neighborhood . At Telegraph Hill it turns south , becoming Telegraph Hill Boulevard to Pioneer Park and Coit Tower . Lombard Street starts again at Winthrop Street and ends at The Embarcadero as a collector road . Lombard Street is known for the one - way block on Russian Hill between Hyde and Leavenworth Streets , where eight sharp turns are said to make it the most crooked street in the world . The design , first suggested by property owner Carl Henry and built in 1922 , was intended to reduce the hill 's natural 27 percent grade , which was too steep for most vehicles . The crooked block is perhaps 600 feet ( 180 m ) long ( 412.5 feet ( 125.7 m ) straightline ) , is one - way ( downhill ) and is paved with red bricks . The sign at the top recommends 5 mph ( 8 km / h ) . The segment normally sees around 250 vehicles per hour , with average daily traffic reaching 2630 vehicles in 2013 . During peak times , vehicles have to wait up to 20 minutes to enter the Crooked Street segment , in a queue that can reach Van Ness Avenue . The Powell - Hyde cable car stops at the top of the block on Hyde Street . By 2017 , the area around the curved segment had become a hot - spot of what has been described as `` San Francisco 's car break - in epidemic . '' Today , the Academy of Art University owns and operates a building called Star Hall on the street for housing purposes . Past residents of Lombard Street include Rowena Meeks Abdy , an early California painter who worked in the style of Impressionism . Chase scenes in many movies were filmed on the street , including Good Neighbor Sam and What 's Up , Doc ? .

The Blue Jays compete in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) as a member club of the American League ( AL ) East division . The team plays its home games at the Rogers Centre . The `` Blue Jays '' name originates from the bird of the same name , and blue is also the traditional colour of two of Toronto 's other professional sports teams : the Maple Leafs ( ice hockey ) and the Argonauts ( Canadian football ) . In addition , the team was originally owned by the Labatt Brewing Company , makers of the popular beer Labatt 's Blue . Colloquially nicknamed the `` Jays '' , the team 's official colours are royal blue , navy blue , red , and white . An expansion franchise , the club was founded in Toronto in 1977 . Originally based at Exhibition Stadium , the team began playing its home games at the SkyDome upon its opening in 1989 . Since 2000 , the Blue Jays have been owned by Rogers Communications and in 2004 , the SkyDome was purchased by that company , which renamed it Rogers Centre . They are the second MLB franchise to be based outside the United States , and currently the only team based outside the U.S. after the first Canadian franchise , the Montreal Expos , became the Washington Nationals . In the late 1970s and early 1980s , the Blue Jays went through struggles typical of an expansion team , frequently finishing in last place in its division . In 1983 , the team had its first winning season and two years later , they became division champions . From 1985 to 1993 , they were an AL East powerhouse , winning five division championships in nine seasons , including three consecutive from 1991 to 1993 . During that run , the team also became back - to - back World Series champions in 1992 and 1993 , led by a core group of award - winning All - Star players , including Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar , Joe Carter , John Olerud , and Devon White . The Blue Jays became the first ( and , to date , only ) team outside the US to appear in and win a World Series , and the fastest AL expansion team to do so , winning in its 16th year . After 1993 , the Blue Jays failed to qualify for the playoffs for 21 consecutive seasons , until clinching a playoff berth and division championship in 2015 . The team clinched a second consecutive playoff berth in 2016 , after securing an AL wild card position . Both years , the Jays won the AL Division Series but lost the AL Championship Series . The Blue Jays are one of two MLB teams under corporate ownership , with the other being the Atlanta Braves ( Liberty Media ) .

Unlike the first game played in a snow storm , this day was bright and sunny with the temperature well below freezing . The Blue Jays played their first game on April 7 , 1977 against the Chicago White Sox before a home crowd of 44,649 . The game is now perhaps best remembered for the minor snowstorm which began just before the game started . Toronto won the snowy affair 9 -- 5 , led by Doug Ault 's two home runs . That win would be one of only 54 of the 1977 season , as the Blue Jays finished last in the AL East , with a record of 54 -- 107 . After the season , assistant general manager Pat Gillick succeeded Peter Bavasi as general manager of the team , a position he would hold until 1994 . In 1978 , the team improved their record by five games , but remained last , with a record of 59 -- 102 . In 1979 , after a 53 -- 109 last place finish , shortstop Alfredo Griffin was named American League co-Rookie of the Year . In addition , the Blue Jays ' first mascot , BJ Birdy , made its debut in 1979 . In 1980 , Bobby Mattick became manager , succeeding Roy Hartsfield , the Blue Jays ' original manager . In Mattick 's first season as manager , although they remained at the bottom , Toronto almost reached the 70 - win mark , finishing with a record of 67 -- 95 , a 14 - win improvement on 1979 . Jim Clancy led with 13 wins and John Mayberry became the first Jay to hit 30 home runs in a season . In the strike - divided season of 1981 , the Blue Jays finished in last place in the AL East in both halves of the season . They were a dismal 16 -- 42 in the first half , but improved dramatically , finishing the 48 - game second half at 21 -- 27 , for a combined record of 37 -- 69 . 1982 -- 84 Under new manager Bobby Cox , Toronto 's first solid season came in 1982 as they finished 78 -- 84 . Their pitching staff was led by starters Dave Stieb , Jim Clancy , and Luis Leal , and the outfield featured a young Lloyd Moseby and Jesse Barfield. 1982 was also the Blue Jays ' first season outside the bottom , as they finished sixth in the East out of seven teams . In 1983 , the Blue Jays compiled their first winning record , 89 -- 73 , finishing in fourth place , nine games behind the eventual World Series champions , the Baltimore Orioles . First baseman Willie Upshaw became the first Blue Jay to have at least 100 RBIs in a season . The Blue Jays ' progress continued in 1984 , finishing with the same 89 -- 73 record , but this time in a distant second place behind another World Series champion , the Detroit Tigers . After 1984 , Alfredo Griffin went to the Oakland Athletics , thus giving a permanent spot to young Dominican shortstop Tony Fernández , who would become a fan favourite for many years . 1985 : the first AL East title Dave Stieb has the second highest number of wins among pitchers in the 1980s . Main article : 1985 Toronto Blue Jays season In 1985 , Toronto won its first championship of any sort : the first of their six American League East division titles . The Blue Jays featured strong pitching and a balanced offence . Tony Fernández excelled in his first full season , and veteran pitcher Doyle Alexander led the team with 17 wins , including a division - clinching complete game win . Their mid-season call up of relief pitcher Tom Henke also proved to be important . They finished 99 -- 62 ( the franchise record for most wins ) , two games in front of the New York Yankees . The Blue Jays faced the Kansas City Royals in the American League Championship Series ( ALCS ) , and took a three games to one lead ( known as the `` Drive of ' 85 '' ) . However , Kansas City won three consecutive games to win the series 4 -- 3 , on the way to their first World Series championship . After the playoffs , AL Manager of the Year , Bobby Cox , suddenly left the Blue Jays to become general manager of the Atlanta Braves , the team he previously managed . 1986 -- 88 With Jimy Williams now the skipper , the Blue Jays could not duplicate their success in 1986 , sliding to a fourth - place tie at 86 -- 76 . Jesse Barfield and George Bell led the way with 40 and 31 home runs , respectively , while Jim Clancy , Mark Eichhorn , and Jimmy Key tied for the team wins lead with 14 each . In 1987 , the Blue Jays held a 31⁄2 - game lead with a week to go in the season , then lost their last seven in a row to finish two games back of the Detroit Tigers , getting swept on the last weekend by the Tigers . The Blue Jays finished with a 96 -- 66 record , second best in the major leagues , but to no avail . However , George Bell (. 308 AVG , 47 HR , 134 RBI ) was named the AL 's Most Valuable Player ( MVP ) , the first Blue Jay to be named so . In 1988 , however , Toronto could not duplicate the successes of the previous season . They tied the Milwaukee Brewers for third in the division at 87 -- 75 , only two games behind the division champion Boston Red Sox . Still , the season had numerous highlights . First baseman Fred McGriff hit 34 home runs , and Dave Stieb had back - to - back starts in which he lost a no - hitter with two out and two strikes in the ninth inning . 1989 -- 1991 : Cito Gaston takes charge , two more AL East titles Cito Gaston was named as the Blue Jays ' manager during the 1989 season . In 1989 , the Blue Jays ' new retractable roofed home , SkyDome , opened in mid-season . It also marked the beginning of an extremely successful five - year period for the team . In May , management fired manager Jimy Williams and replaced him with Cito Gaston , the team 's hitting instructor . The club had a dismal 12 -- 24 record at the time of the firing , but went 77 -- 49 under Gaston to win the AL East title by two games , with an 89 -- 73 record . On May 28 , George Bell 's walk - off home run , off of Chicago White Sox closer Bobby Thigpen , marked the end of the Exhibition Stadium era . The first game at the new stadium took place on June 5 against the Milwaukee Brewers ; the Jays lost 5 -- 3 . In the 1989 ALCS , Rickey Henderson led the World Series champion Oakland Athletics to a 4 -- 1 series win . In 1990 , the Blue Jays again had a strong season , but finished in second place , two games behind the Boston Red Sox . Dave Stieb pitched his only no - hitter , beating the Cleveland Indians 3 -- 0 in front of a less than capacity crowd at Cleveland Municipal Stadium . As of 2014 , it remains the only no - hitter ever pitched by a Blue Jay . During the offseason , the Blue Jays made one of the two biggest trades in franchise history , sending All - Star shortstop Tony Fernández and first baseman Fred McGriff to the San Diego Padres in exchange for outfielder Joe Carter and second baseman Roberto Alomar . The Jays also obtained centre fielder Devon White from the California Angels . These deals , particularly the trade with San Diego , were instrumental in the team 's future success . Carter , Alomar and White would prove to be extremely effective additions , as the Blue Jays again won the division in 1991 , as Carter drove in Alomar for the division - winning run . Once again , however , they fell short in the postseason , losing to the Minnesota Twins , who were on the way to their second World Series victory in five seasons , in the ALCS . In 1991 , the Blue Jays became the first Major League club ever to draw over four million fans in one season . Team record 1989 : 89 wins -- 73 losses , W % - 0.549 Team record 1990 : 86 wins -- 76 losses , W % - 0.531 , 2 games behind division leader Team record 1991 : 91 wins -- 71 losses , W % - 0.562 1992 -- 93 : World Series champions 1992 : Canada 's first World Series title Main article : 1992 Toronto Blue Jays season After the 1991 season had ended , the Blue Jays acquired pitcher Jack Morris , who had led the Minnesota Twins to victory in the World Series by pitching a 10 - inning complete game shutout in Game 7 and had been named the World Series MVP . To add veteran leadership to their explosive offence , Toronto signed Dave Winfield to be the team 's designated hitter . The 1992 regular season went well , as the Jays clinched their second straight AL East crown with a final record of 96 -- 66 , four games ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers . They also went the entire season without being swept in any series , becoming the first team in 49 years to accomplish the feat . The Blue Jays met the Oakland Athletics ( who had the same record as the Jays and won the AL West by six games over the defending champion Twins ) in the ALCS , winning four games to two . The pivotal game of the series was Game 4 , considered by many to be one of the most important games in Blue Jays history : the Blue Jays rallied back from a 6 -- 1 deficit after seven innings , capped off by Roberto Alomar 's huge game - tying two - run homer off A 's closer Dennis Eckersley in the top of the ninth . This paved the way for a 7 -- 6 victory in 11 innings , a 3 - games - to - 1 lead in the series and an eventual 4 -- 2 ALCS series win . The Blue Jays then faced the Atlanta Braves in the World Series . The Braves returned after being beaten by the Twins the previous year . The pivotal game in this series turned out to be Game 2 , in which reserve player Ed Sprague hit a 9th - inning two - run home run off Braves closer Jeff Reardon to give the Blue Jays a 5 -- 4 lead , which would hold up . After winning Game 3 thanks to Candy Maldonado 's ninth inning RBI hit and Game 4 due to Jimmy Key 's superb 71⁄3 inning pitching effort in which he retired 15 straight batters ( five innings ) , the Jays could not win the Series on home turf as the Braves struck back with a 7 -- 2 win in Game 5 . Game 6 in Atlanta , with the Blue Jays leading 3 games to 2 , was a very close game . Toronto was one strike away from winning in the bottom of the 9th inning , 2 -- 1 , but Otis Nixon singled in the tying run off the Blue Jays ' closer Tom Henke . It was the first run the Toronto bullpen had given up in the series . The game was decided in the 11th inning , when Dave Winfield doubled down the left - field line , driving in two runs . The Braves would again come within one run in the bottom of the 11th , but Jays reliever Mike Timlin fielded Otis Nixon 's bunt , throwing to Joe Carter at first base for the final out . The Blue Jays became the first team based outside of the United States to win the World Series . Pat Borders , the Jays ' catcher , was the unlikely player who was named MVP after hitting . 450 with one home run in the World Series . Oddly , Morris was acquired in large part for his reputation as a clutch postseason pitcher , but he went 0 -- 3 in the playoffs . Morris , however , pitched well in the regular season , becoming the Blue Jays ' first 20 - game winner , with a record of 21 -- 6 and an ERA of 4.04 . Team record 1992 : 96 wins -- 66 losses , W % - 0.593 1993 : back - to - back champs Main article : 1993 Toronto Blue Jays season Fireworks at the Skydome following the Blue Jays ' victory in the 1993 World Series . After the 1992 season , the Blue Jays let World Series hero Dave Winfield and longtime closer Tom Henke go , but signed two key free agents : designated hitter Paul Molitor from the Milwaukee Brewers and perennial playoff success Dave Stewart from the Oakland Athletics . In 1993 , the Blue Jays had seven All - Stars : outfielders Devon White and Joe Carter , infielders John Olerud and Roberto Alomar , designated hitter Molitor , plus starting pitcher Pat Hentgen , and closer Duane Ward . In August , the Jays acquired former nemesis Rickey Henderson from the Athletics . The Blue Jays cruised to a 95 -- 67 record , one less win than 1992 and seven games ahead of the New York Yankees , winning their third straight division title . The Jays beat the Chicago White Sox four games to two in the ALCS , and then the Philadelphia Phillies , four games to two , for their second straight World Series victory . The World Series featured several exciting games , including Game 4 , played under a slight rain , in which the Blue Jays came back from a 14 -- 9 deficit to win 15 -- 14 and take a 3 games to 1 lead in the series . It remains the highest scoring game in World Series history . Game 6 in Toronto saw the Blue Jays lead 5 -- 1 , but give up 5 runs in the 7th inning to trail 6 -- 5 . In the bottom of the 9th inning , Joe Carter hit a one - out , three - run walk - off home run to clinch the series off of Phillies closer Mitch Williams . Only the second World Series -- winning walk - off home run in the history of Major League Baseball ( following Bill Mazeroski 's in Game 7 in 1960 ) , Carter 's hit differed from the first in that Toronto , while not facing elimination , was trailing in the bottom of the 9th . The home run is also memorable for late Blue Jays broadcaster Tom Cheek 's call : A swing , and a belt ! Left field ! Way back ! Blue Jays win it ! The Blue Jays are World Series champions as Joe Carter hits a three - run home run in the ninth inning and the Blue Jays have repeated as World Series champions ! Touch ' em all , Joe , you 'll never hit a bigger home run in your life ! -- Tom Cheek , late Blue Jays radio play - by - play announcer Molitor was named the World Series MVP after hitting . 500 in the series . In the regular season , three Blue Jays -- Olerud , Molitor and Alomar -- finished 1 -- 2 -- 3 for the AL batting crown , led by Olerud 's franchise record . 363 average . It was the first time in 100 years that the top three hitters in the league were from the same team . Team record 1993 : 95 wins -- 67 losses , W % - 0.586 1994 season Main article : 1994 Toronto Blue Jays season Expectations were high for the Blue Jays for the 1994 season , following back - to - back championships , but they slumped to a 55 -- 60 record and a third - place finish ( 16 games back of the New York Yankees ) before the players ' strike . It was their first losing season since 1982 . Joe Carter , Paul Molitor and John Olerud enjoyed good years at the plate , but the pitching fell off . Juan Guzmán slumped considerably from his first three years ( 40 -- 11 , 3.28 ERA ) , finishing 1994 at 12 -- 11 with a 5.68 ERA . Three young players , Alex Gonzalez , Carlos Delgado and Shawn Green , did show much promise for the future . At the time of the strike , their fellow Canadian cousins , the Montreal Expos , had the best record in the majors , leading some to consider the possibility of a Canadian three - peat in 1994 . Labatt Breweries was bought by Belgian - based brewer Interbrew ( which , in 2004 , merged with AmBev to become InBev ) , making the Blue Jays the second baseball team owned by interests outside of North America , after the Blue Jays ' expansion cousins , the Seattle Mariners ( by Nintendo of America , which is the American division of the Japanese consumer electronics and software company ) . Team record 1994 : 55 wins -- 60 losses , W % - 0.478 , 16 games behind division leader 1995 -- 2001 : the Gord Ash ERA 1995 -- 2000 Introduced in 1977 , the original primary Blue Jays logo was last used in the 1996 season . On October 31 , 1994 , Pat Gillick , the longtime Blue Jays general manager , resigned and handed the reins of the team to Toronto native Gord Ash , who would lead the team in its most tumultuous era yet . In the 1995 season , the Blue Jays proved that they had lost their contending swagger of the past 12 years . Although they had most of the same cast of the World Series teams , the Blue Jays freefell to a dismal 56 -- 88 record , last place in the AL East , 30 games behind the Boston Red Sox . 1996 was another mediocre year for the Blue Jays , despite Pat Hentgen 's Cy Young Award ( 20 -- 10 , 3.22 ERA ) . Ed Sprague had a career year , hitting 36 home runs and driving in 101 runs . However , the team 's 74 wins did put them in 4th place , improving over a last place finish in 1995 . The Blue Jays started 1997 with high hopes . Not only did the Jays drastically change their uniforms , they signed former Boston Red Sox ace Roger Clemens to a $24,750,000 contract . Clemens had one of the best pitching seasons ever as he won the pitcher 's Triple Crown , leading the American League with a record of 21 -- 7 , a 2.05 ERA , and 292 strikeouts . This was not enough to lead the Blue Jays to the postseason , however , as they finished in last place for the second time in three years with a record of 76 -- 86 . Cito Gaston , the longtime manager who led the team to four division titles and two World Series crowns , was fired five games before the end of the season . The season did provide a unique experience for its fans with the advent of Interleague play , when the Blue Jays faced their Canadian rival , the Montreal Expos , for the first official games between the two teams . The second primary logo used by the Blue Jays was introduced for the 1997 season , and used until the end of the 2002 season . Before the start of the 1998 season , the Blue Jays acquired closer Randy Myers and slugger Jose Canseco . Gaston was replaced with former Blue Jay Tim Johnson , a relative unknown as a manager . Despite mediocre hitting , strong pitching led by Clemens ' second straight pitching Triple Crown ( 20 -- 6 , 2.65 ERA , 271 strikeouts ) sparked the Blue Jays to an 88 -- 74 record -- their first winning season since 1993 . However , this was only good enough to finish a distant third , 26 games behind the New York Yankees , who posted one of the greatest records in all of baseball history at 114 -- 48 . They were , however , in contention for the wildcard spot until the final week . Before the 1999 season , the Blue Jays traded Clemens to the Yankees for starting pitcher David Wells , second baseman Homer Bush and relief pitcher Graeme Lloyd . They also fired manager Tim Johnson during spring training after he lied about several things ( including killing people in the Vietnam War ) to motivate his players . The Blue Jays had initially been willing to stand by Johnson . A blizzard of questions about his credibility during spring training , however , led Ash to fire him less than a month before opening day . Johnson was replaced with Jim Fregosi , who managed the Phillies when they lost to the Blue Jays in the 1993 World Series . The offence picked up somewhat in 1999 , but the pitching suffered without Clemens , as the Blue Jays finished at 84 -- 78 , in third place . After the 1999 season , the Blue Jays ' original mascot for 20 years , BJ Birdy , was replaced by a duo named Ace and Diamond . On November 8 , 1999 , Toronto traded star outfielder Shawn Green to the Los Angeles Dodgers for left - handed relief pitcher Pedro Borbón and right - fielder Raúl Mondesí . Green had told the Jays that he would not be re-signing when his contract was up at the end of the year ( he wished to play closer to his home in Southern California ) . 2000 proved to be a similar season , as the Jays had an 83 -- 79 record , well out of the wild card race but only a slim 41⁄2 games back of the three - time defending World Series champion Yankees in the AL East , the first time since 1993 they had contended for the division . Carlos Delgado had a stellar year , hitting . 344 with 41 home runs , 57 doubles , 137 RBI , 123 walks and 115 runs . In addition , six other players hit 20 or more home runs , an outstanding feat . 2000 -- 01 Bob File pitching for the Blue Jays at Fenway Park during the 2001 season . On September 1 , 2000 , Rogers Communications Inc. purchased 80 % of the baseball club for $160 million , with Interbrew ( later InBev ) maintaining 20 % interest and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce relinquishing its 10 % share . Rogers eventually acquired the 20 % owned by Interbrew and now has full ownership of the team . The 2001 season marked the 25th anniversary of the franchise 's inception . Buck Martinez , a former catcher and broadcast announcer for the Blue Jays , took over as manager before the season began . The Blue Jays had a disappointing season , as the team fell back under . 500 , finishing at 80 -- 82 , with mediocre pitching and hitting . Delgado led the team again with 39 home runs and 102 RBI . After the 2001 season ended , the Blue Jays fired Gord Ash , ending a seven - year tenure as general manager . J.P. Ricciardi , then director of player development under Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane , was named the Blue Jays ' General Manager and was expected to slash the payroll immediately , to stem the tide of red ink . During the off - season , the team traded or let go several popular players , including Alex Gonzalez , Paul Quantrill , Brad Fullmer and closer Billy Koch to let talented youngsters such as Eric Hinske and Felipe López get a chance to develop into major leaguers . 2002 -- 09 : the J.P. Ricciardi and Roy Halladay ERA 2002 season Main article : 2002 Toronto Blue Jays season The Blue Jays started the 2002 season with slow progress in performance . Buck Martinez was fired about a third of the way through the season , with a 20 -- 33 record . He was replaced by third base coach Carlos Tosca , an experienced minor league manager . They went 58 -- 51 under Tosca to finish the season 78 -- 84 . Roy Halladay was relied on as the team 's ace and rose to the challenge of being the team 's top pitcher , finishing the season with a 19 -- 7 record and 2.93 ERA . The hitters were led once again by Carlos Delgado . Promising young players were assigned to key roles ; starting third baseman Eric Hinske won the Rookie of the Year Award at the season 's conclusion , and 23 - year - old centre fielder Vernon Wells had his first 100 RBI season . Team record 2002 : 78 wins -- 84 losses , W % - 0.481 , 25.5 games behind division leader , third in division 2003 season The logo used by the Blue Jays for the 2003 season . Main article : 2003 Toronto Blue Jays season The 2003 season was a surprise to both team management and baseball analysts . After a poor April , the team had its most successful month ever in May . Carlos Delgado led the majors in RBI , followed closely by Wells . Despite their hitting successes , poor pitching continued to plague the team . Halladay was an exception , winning his first Cy Young Award , going 22 -- 7 , with a 3.25 ERA . In July , Shannon Stewart was traded to the Minnesota Twins for Bobby Kielty , another outfielder with a much lower batting average than Stewart 's . Although the Jays finished in third place in their division , Delgado was second in the voting for the American League MVP Award . In the off - season , Kielty was traded to the Oakland Athletics for starter Ted Lilly . Team record 2003 : 86 wins -- 76 losses , W % - 0.531 , 15 games behind division leader , third in division 2004 season The Blue Jays logo used from 2004 to 2011 . Main article : 2004 Toronto Blue Jays season The 2004 season was a disappointing year for the Blue Jays right from the beginning . They started the season 0 -- 8 at SkyDome and never started a lengthy winning streak . Much of that was due to injuries to All - Stars Carlos Delgado , Vernon Wells and Roy Halladay among others . Although the additions of starting pitchers Ted Lilly and Miguel Batista and reliever Justin Speier were relatively successful , veteran Pat Hentgen faltered throughout the season and retired on July 24 . Rookies and minor league callups David Bush , Jason Frasor , Josh Towers and others filled the void in the rotation and the bullpen ; however , inconsistent performances were evident . With the team struggling in last place and mired in a five - game losing streak , manager Carlos Tosca was fired on August 8 , 2004 , and was replaced by first base coach John Gibbons . Long - time first baseman Carlos Delgado became a free agent in the off - season . Nevertheless , prospects Russ Adams , Gabe Gross , and Alex Ríos provided excitement for the fans . Rookie pitchers David Bush , Gustavo Chacín and Jason Frasor also showed promise for the club 's future . The Blue Jays ' lone MLB All - Star Game representative was Lilly . Team record 2004 : 67 wins -- 94 losses , W % - 0.416 , 33.5 games behind division leader , fifth in division 2005 season After the 2004 season , FieldTurf replaced AstroTurf as the Rogers Centre 's playing surface . Main article : 2005 Toronto Blue Jays season SkyDome was renamed Rogers Centre and was extensively renovated . The Blue Jays had a good start to the 2005 season . They led the AL East from early to mid-April and held their record around . 500 until late August . The Jays were hit with the injury bug when third baseman Corey Koskie broke his finger , taking him out of the line - up , but the club was pleasantly surprised with the performance of rookie call - up Aaron Hill in his stead . On July 8 , just prior to the All - Star break , Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay was struck on the shin by a line drive , resulting in a fractured leg . Though Halladay 's injury was hoped to be minor , the recovery process was met with constant delays , and eventually , he was out for the rest of the season . Prior to his injury , the Blue Jays were in serious wild card contention , but soon fell out of the playoff race . The team received glimpses of the future from September call - ups Guillermo Quiróz , John - Ford Griffin , and Shaun Marcum . Marcum made himself noteworthy by posting an ERA of 0.00 over five relief appearances and eight innings in September . Josh Towers also stepped up , showing largely unseen potential by going 7 -- 5 with a 2.91 ERA in the second half of the season . Team record 2005 : 80 wins -- 82 losses , W % - 0.494 , 15 games behind division leader , third in division 2006 season Main article : 2006 Toronto Blue Jays season In 2006 , the team experienced its most successful season in years . On July 2 , Troy Glaus , Vernon Wells , Roy Halladay , B.J. Ryan , and Alex Ríos were picked to represent the Blue Jays at the All - Star Game . It was the largest number of Blue Jay All - Stars selected for the game since 1993 . The team played well in the critical month of September , going 18 -- 10 . This , combined with the slumping of the Boston Red Sox , enabled the Blue Jays to take sole possession of second place in the American League East by the end of the season . This marked the first time that the Jays had finished above third place in their division since their World Championship season of 1993 , and with the most wins since the 1998 season . On December 18 , the Blue Jays announced that they had re-signed centre fielder Wells to a seven - year contract worth $126 million , which came into effect after the 2007 season . Team record 2006 : 87 wins -- 75 losses , W % - 0.537 , 10 games behind division leader , second in division 2007 season Dustin McGowan pitching for the Blue Jays in the 2007 season . Main article : 2007 Toronto Blue Jays season The 2007 season was blighted by persistent injuries , with 12 Blue Jays landing on the disabled list . The most serious injury was that of B.J. Ryan , who was out for the entire season having had Tommy John surgery . Prior to the season , the team signed starting pitchers John Thomson , Tomo Ohka , and Víctor Zambrano ; each of them was released before the end of the season . However , young starters Shaun Marcum and Dustin McGowan had break - out years , with 12 wins each . On June 24 , McGowan pitched a complete game one - hitter . On June 28 , Frank Thomas became the 21st major league player to hit 500 career home runs . Aaron Hill also had a break - out year , setting a team record for second baseman with 47 doubles . Team record 2007 : 83 wins -- 79 losses , W % - 0.512 , 13 games behind division leader , third in division 2008 season Main article : 2008 Toronto Blue Jays season The Blue Jays ' 2008 season featured a strong pitching staff , which led the major leagues with a 3.49 ERA . For much of the season , however , the team struggled to hit home runs and drive in runs . On May 24 , starter Jesse Litsch set a team record , with 38 consecutive innings without giving up a walk . On June 20 , following a five - game losing streak and with the Jays in last place in the AL East , management fired John Gibbons and several members of his coaching staff , and re-hired Cito Gaston . Meanwhile , Alex Ríos had 32 stolen bases , making him the first Blue Jay with 30 since 2001 . On September 5 , Roy Halladay earned his 129th career win , moving him into second spot on Toronto 's all - time wins list . Halladay also came second in the voting for the Cy Young Award , after posting a 20 -- 11 record and 2.78 ERA . Team record 2008 : 86 wins -- 76 losses , W % - 0.531 , 11 games behind division leader , fourth in division 2009 season Blue Jays pitcher Roy Halladay during the 2009 season . Main article : 2009 Toronto Blue Jays season The 2009 season saw the addition of two new patches on the Blue Jays ' uniforms : on the right arm , a bright red maple leaf ( part of the Canadian flag ) , and on the left arm , a small black band with `` TED '' written on it , in reference to the late team owner Ted Rogers , who died in the off - season . On Opening Day at the Rogers Centre , the Blue Jays , led by Roy Halladay , beat the Detroit Tigers 12 -- 5 . Aaron Hill and Roy Halladay both had excellent years and represented the Blue Jays at the 2009 All - Star Game in St. Louis . The Jays started the season well , posting a 27 -- 14 record , however immediately afterwards the Jays fell into a nine - game losing streak and was never able to recover for the remainder of the season . In mid-August , GM J.P. Ricciardi allowed the Chicago White Sox to claim Alex Ríos off waivers . With two games remaining in what was a disappointing season , Ricciardi was fired on October 3 . He was replaced by assistant general manager Alex Anthopoulos . Despite a 75 - win season , the Jays saw the strong return of Aaron Hill , who won the American League Comeback Player of the Year Award and the Silver Slugger for second base . Adam Lind , who also had a strong season , earned the Silver Slugger for designated hitter .

Drabek was acquired by the Jays in a multi-player trade involving Roy Halladay . Main article : 2010 Toronto Blue Jays season In the off - season , the Jays ' ace Roy Halladay was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies for Kyle Drabek , Travis d'Arnaud , and Michael Taylor ; Taylor was immediately traded to the Oakland Athletics for Brett Wallace . The team 's significant free agent signings were that of catcher John Buck and shortstop Álex González . The 2010 season was a surprising 10 - win improvement over the last season . It was a career year for José Bautista , who hit 54 home runs , breaking George Bell 's franchise record of 47 . In doing so , he became the 26th player to reach 50 home runs and the first since Alex Rodriguez and Prince Fielder achieved the feat in 2007 . The Blue Jays also set a franchise record for the most home runs in a single season as they hit 257 , 13 more than their previous record of 244 set by the 2000 Blue Jays . The Blue Jays tied the 1996 Baltimore Orioles for the third most home runs by a team in a single season . Seven players ( José Bautista , Vernon Wells , Aaron Hill , Adam Lind , Lyle Overbay , John Buck , and Edwin Encarnación ) hit 20 home runs or more throughout the season , tying an MLB record previously set by four teams , including the 2000 Blue Jays . On July 14 , the Jays traded Álex González and two minor league prospects -- left - handed pitcher Tim Collins and shortstop Tyler Pastornicky -- to the Atlanta Braves for Jo - Jo Reyes and Yunel Escobar . On August 7 , catching prospect J.P. Arencibia made his major league debut . He went 4 - for - 5 with two home runs , including a home run hit on the first pitch he saw . The next day , starting pitcher Brandon Morrow came within one out of a no - hitter , finishing with 17 strikeouts in a complete game one - hitter . Team record 2010 : 85 wins -- 77 losses , W % - 0.525 , 11 games behind division leader , fourth in division 2011 season Main article : 2011 Toronto Blue Jays season Led by new manager John Farrell , the 2011 Blue Jays finished with a . 500 record . After signing a five - year $64 million contract extension , José Bautista followed up his record - setting 2010 season with an arguably better season . He finished with a Major League - leading 43 home runs , along with 103 RBI , 132 walks , and a . 302 average . Rookie J.P. Arencibia also had a successful year , setting a Blue Jays single - season record with 23 home runs by a catcher . In August , third base prospect Brett Lawrie made his Major League debut and hit . 293 with 9 home runs , 4 triples , and 25 RBI , in just 43 games . Starting pitcher and ace Ricky Romero led the team with 15 wins and a 2.92 ERA . He also became an All - Star for the first time in his career . The other starting pitchers were inconsistent , and Farrell used 12 different starters over the course of the season . Jon Rauch and Frank Francisco , both acquired in the off - season , shared the closer role . They both struggled through the first half of the season , though Francisco improved in the last two months of the season , and had six saves in September . On July 31 , the Blue Jays retired their first number , Roberto Alomar 's # 12 , one week after Alomar became the first Hall of Famer to be inducted as a Blue Jay . Team record 2011 : 81 wins -- 81 losses , W % - 0.500 , 16 games behind division leader , fourth in division 2012 season Jose Bautista warming up prior to a game against the Los Angeles Angels during the 2012 season . Main article : 2012 Toronto Blue Jays season The 2012 season was an injury - plagued year for the Blue Jays , having used 31 total pitchers , which set a franchise record . In June , three starting pitchers ( Brandon Morrow , Kyle Drabek , and Drew Hutchison ) were lost to injury in a span of four days , two of whom required Tommy John surgery ; in addition , starters Dustin McGowan and Jesse Litsch missed the entire season due to injury . In the second half of the season , some key players in Toronto 's line - up , including All - Star José Bautista , missed a significant amount of playing time due to injury , sending the team into a freefall and culminating in a 73 -- 89 record . Despite the underachievements of Ricky Romero and Adam Lind , Casey Janssen established himself as a reliable closer ( 22 SV , 2.52 ERA ) and Edwin Encarnación developed into one of the league 's best power hitters (. 280 AVG , 42 HR , 110 RBI ) . On April 5 , 2012 the team opened on the road in Cleveland , where they beat the Indians 7 -- 4 in 16 full innings , during this game they set the record of the longest opening - day game in the Major League history. The previous record of 15 innings had been set by the Washington Senators and Philadelphia Athletics on April 13 , 1926 , and tied by the Detroit Tigers and the Indians on April 19 , 1960 . On April 20 , the Jays turned a triple play against the Kansas City Royals in a 4 -- 3 win . It was the first triple play they turned since September 21 , 1979 .

Melky Cabrera and Brandon Morrow left through free agency and Juan Francisco was claimed off waivers by the Boston Red Sox . The Blue Jays celebrate after clinching the American League East in 2015 ; they went as far as the ALCS , only to lose against the eventual World Series - winning Kansas City Royals . The Jays later traded José Reyes and pitching prospects Miguel Castro , Jeff Hoffman , and Jesus Tinoco to the Colorado Rockies for All - Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and reliever LaTroy Hawkins . Two days later , they acquired All - Star pitcher David Price from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for pitching prospects Daniel Norris , Matt Boyd , and Jairo Labourt . The Jays had two 11 - game winning streaks during this season . On September 25 , the Blue Jays clinched a playoff berth , ending the longest active playoff drought in North American professional sports ( see List of Major League Baseball franchise postseason droughts ) . They subsequently claimed the AL East division title on September 30 , after defeating the Baltimore Orioles 15 -- 2 in the first game of a doubleheader . The Blue Jays faced the Texas Rangers in the ALDS . After losing back - to - back home games , they won the next three games in a row to take the five - game series , advancing to the ALCS ; a three - game comeback series victory had not been accomplished since 2012 by the San Francisco Giants . During game five of the series in Toronto , Blue Jays ' right fielder José Bautista executed what Andrew Keh of The New York Times described as possibly `` the most ostentatious bat flip in MLB history '' after hitting a go - ahead , three - run home run off Rangers relief pitcher Sam Dyson . Bautista wrote an article about the bat flip published in November 2015 in The Players ' Tribune . The Blue Jays then faced the Kansas City Royals in the ALCS , losing the series 4 -- 2 in Kansas City ; the Royals would eventually win the World Series . After the playoffs , Donaldson was named AL MVP , becoming the first Blue Jay to win the award since George Bell in 1987 .

A few weeks later , Brad Penny and Rafael Soriano , both veterans under minor league contract with the Blue Jays , retired from baseball as well . Josh Donaldson slides into second base during the first game of the 2016 ALDS . On May 15 , 2016 , the Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers brawled against each other in Arlington , Texas . The brawl happened when Matt Bush threw a pitch at Jose Bautista , then Bautista made an illegal slide , and Rougned Odor punched Bautista . Bautista was later suspended for one game . On May 31 , 2016 , the Blue Jays traded for Jason Grilli from the Atlanta Braves . Before the non-waiver trade deadline at 4 pm EDT on August 1 , 2016 , the Blue Jays traded for Joaquín Benoit , Melvin Upton Jr. , Scott Feldman , and Francisco Liriano .

Popularity Forbes Valuation of the Blue Jays 1991 -- 1997 ( in millions of US dollars ) Year valuation reported Valuation of the Blue Jays 1998 -- present ( in millions of US dollars ) Year valuation reported Financial World Forbes Bloomberg News Note : Unlike the Forbes valuations , Bloomberg includes contributions from regional sports networks and related businesses in the total value . In 1977 , after just 50 home games , the Blue Jays set an MLB record for a first - year expansion team , with an overall attendance of 1,219,551 during those games . By the end of the season , 1,701,152 fans had attended . In 1991 , the Blue Jays became the first MLB team to attract over four million fans , with an attendance of 4,001,526 , followed by 4,028,318 in 1992 . Each of those records were broken in 1993 by the expansion Colorado Rockies , although the Blue Jays ' 1993 attendance of 4,057,947 stood as an AL record for 12 years until it was broken by the 2005 New York Yankees . Several Blue Jays became very popular in Toronto and across the major leagues , starting with Dave Stieb , whose seven All - Star selections is a franchise record . He is closely followed by Roy Halladay and José Bautista , who were selected six times each , and by Roberto Alomar and Joe Carter , who were selected five times each . Bautista set a major league record in 2011 ( which only stood for just one year ) , with 7,454,753 All - Star votes . In his first season with the Blue Jays in 2015 , Josh Donaldson set a new major league record by receiving 14,090,188 All - Star votes . Culture Ace and Junior exchange greetings before the game . Ace was the Blue Jays ' second mascot , introduced in 2000 . Junior is a mascot occasionally seen for Junior Jays day promotions . `` OK Blue Jays '' Main article : OK Blue Jays During the seventh - inning stretch of home games , before singing `` Take Me Out to the Ball Game '' , Blue Jay fans sing and clap to `` OK Blue Jays '' by Keith Hampshire and The Bat Boys , which was released in 1983 . The song was remixed in 2003 , and since then , the new shortened version is played at home games . Mascots Main article : Toronto Blue Jays mascots From 1979 to 1999 , BJ Birdy served as the Blue Jays ' sole mascot , played by Kevin Shanahan . In 2000 , he was replaced by a duo named Ace and Diamond . After the 2003 season , Diamond was removed by the team , leaving Ace as the team 's sole mascot . Since the 2010s , Ace has been accompanied by his younger brother , Junior . This usually happens on the Jr . Jay Saturday promotions until the end of the 2017 season . The promotions were moved to select Sundays since the 2018 season , since the Blue Jays can no longer hold early Saturday afternoon games to accommodate American national broadcasts on FOX , though FOX did occasionally broadcast Blue Jays games at the Rogers Centre . Sunday Salute Since 2018 , every Sunday home game , the Blue Jays pay tribute to a member of the Canadian Armed Forces . Rivalries Montreal Expos Main article : Pearson Cup The Montreal Expos were the Blue Jays ' geographic National League rival , being the other Canadian MLB team before it was relocated . From 1978 to 1986 , the teams played an annual mid-season exhibition game , known as the Pearson Cup , named after former Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson . The teams began facing each other in the regular season in 1997 , with the advent of interleague play . During the 2003 and 2004 seasons , the Expos ' last two seasons before relocating to Washington , D.C. as the Nationals , the Pearson Cup was awarded after a pair of three - game sets . Detroit Tigers The Detroit Tigers are the Blue Jays ' geographic and traditional rival , dating back to the 1980s , when the teams were AL East contenders . The Tigers moved to the AL Central in 1998 , and the rivalry has died down as a result , with the teams facing each other only six to seven times per year since 2011 . Depending on traffic and border delays , Detroit is about a four - hour drive from Toronto . According to The Detroit News , a July 2017 three - game series at Comerica Park against the Blue Jays drew a season - best - to - date total attendance of 115,088 . Seattle Mariners Although the Seattle Mariners are not a divisional rival , many Blue Jays fans from western Canada travel to Seattle when the Blue Jays play there . Depending on traffic and border delays , Seattle is about a three - hour drive from Vancouver . The Seattle Times estimated that Blue Jays fans represented around 70 percent of the crowd in Safeco Field for a June 2017 weekend series . Broadcasting See also : List of Toronto Blue Jays broadcasters Canadian regions subject to MLB blackout Toronto Blue Jays exclusively Shared with Seattle Mariners Shared with Minnesota Twins Shared with Boston Red Sox Note : Toronto Blue Jays territory covers all of Canada Radio The Blue Jays ' former radio play - by - play announcer , Tom Cheek , called every Toronto Blue Jays game from the team 's inaugural contest on April 7 , 1977 until June 3 , 2004 , when he took two games off following the death of his father -- a streak of 4,306 consecutive regular season games and 41 postseason games . Cheek later died on October 9 , 2005 and the team commemorated him during their 2006 season by wearing a circular patch on the left sleeve of their home and road game jerseys . The patch was adorned with the letters ' TC ' , Cheek 's initials , as well as a stylized microphone . Cheek is also honoured with a place in the Blue Jays ' `` Level of Excellence '' in the upper level of the Rogers Centre ; the number 4,306 is depicted beside his name . In 2008 , Cheek received the third most votes by fans to be nominated for the Ford C. Frick Award for broadcasting excellence . Cheek finally received the Frick Award , posthumously , in 2013 after nine years on the ballot . Radio broadcasts of Blue Jays games are originated from Sportsnet 590 CJCL in Toronto which , like the Blue Jays , is owned by Rogers Communications . Jerry Howarth , Cheek 's longtime broadcasting partner , is the lead play - by - play announcer , with Mike Wilner as the secondary play - by - play announcer . During the 2007 to 2012 seasons , former Blue Jays catcher Alan Ashby was the colour commentator . Former Blue Jays pitcher Jack Morris served as the colour commentator during the 2013 season , after which he was replaced by former Montreal Expos catcher Joe Siddall since the 2014 season . Former Blue Jays pitcher Dirk Hayhurst filled in for Morris for some games during the 2013 season . Another former catcher for the Blue Jays , Gregg Zaun , has served as the occasional colour commentator since the 2011 season . The Toronto Blue Jays have the largest geographical home market in all of baseball , encompassing all of Canada . Despite this , the number of radio stations that broadcast games is actually quite small . Only twenty radio stations across the country aired at least some Blue Jays games during the 2011 season , which is fewer affiliates than most teams . Television All Blue Jays games are carried nationally on Sportsnet ( which , like the Blue Jays , is owned by Rogers Communications ) , with Buck Martinez as the play - by - play announcer , and Pat Tabler as the primary colour analyst . On select games , play - by - play is handled by Dan Shulman , with Martinez and Tabler on commentary . Toronto Raptors play - by - play announcer Matt Devlin has also filled in for Martinez in a select number of games . In previous years , the colour analyst role rotated between Pat Tabler , Rance Mulliniks , Darrin Fletcher , and since the 2011 season , Gregg Zaun . Sportsnet became the team 's primary carrier soon after it launched in the late 1990s , and became the team 's exclusive broadcaster in 2010 . As of August 2010 , Sportsnet One also broadcasts Blue Jays games ( often in case of scheduling conflicts with the main Sportsnet channels ) . Rogers was , however , criticized by fans and critics due to Sportsnet One only being carried by Rogers Cable systems on launch . Jamie Campbell and Gregg Zaun providing Sportsnet coverage of a Toronto Blue Jays game in 2011 . In September 2012 , AMI - tv simulcast three Blue Jays games with described video provided by CJCL correspondent Sam Cosentino , which included explanations of on - screen graphics . Paul Beeston praised AMI 's involvement , stating that `` to our knowledge , we are the first sports organization to have our games provided through this revolutionary approach to accommodating the needs of the blind and low - vision community . '' On June 27 , 2013 , Rogers ' over-the - air Toronto multicultural station Omni. 2 simulcast a Blue Jays game ( in which Taiwanese player Chien - Ming Wang was scheduled to start ) with commentary in Mandarin , marking the first ever Canadian MLB broadcast in the language . TVA Sports has aired games in French since 2011 , with Jacques Doucet on play - by - play and Rodger Brulotte on colour . Sportsnet 's broadcasts of the 2015 American League Division Series involving the Blue Jays were among the highest - rated telecasts in network history , with Game 4 drawing an audience of 4.38 million viewers . The Sports Network ( TSN ) , which ( like the Jays ) was owned by Labatt from 1984 to 1995 , served as the primary cable television outlet for the Blue Jays prior to the launch of Sportsnet . TSN ( and later , its sister channel TSN2 ) continued to carry approximately ten Jays games through the 2009 season until May 2010 ; most recently , Rod Black handled play - by - play while Tabler served as colour commentator on these telecasts . CBC has carried Blue Jays games intermittently throughout the team 's history , most recently in 2007 and 2008 ; those broadcasts featured Jim Hughson as the play - by - play announcer , and former Blue Jays Rance Mulliniks and Jesse Barfield on colour commentary . Games also aired on CTV ( except in Montreal ) from the team 's inception until the late 1990s . The Blue Jays have not appeared over-the - air in Canada in English since 2008 . In 2008 , Rogers Communications , owner of the Jays , was granted a license by the Canadian Radio - Television Commission ( CRTC ) to launch a specialty channel , to be named `` Baseball TV '' . The channel would have been dedicated to coverage of baseball , combining content from the United States - based MLB Network with original Canadian content . However , the channel was never launched , and instead Rogers sponsored an application by the US version of MLB Network to be made available to Canadian distributors , which was approved by the CRTC . There has been very rare instances of FOX broadcasting Blue Jays games at the Rogers Centre during the regular season .

Due Process Clause
Due process clause - wikipedia Due process clause Jump to : navigation , search This article is part of a series on the Constitution of the United States of America Preamble and Articles of the Constitution Preamble II III IV V VI VII Amendments to the Constitution Bill of Rights II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII XIII XIV XV XVI XVII XVIII XIX XX XXI XXII XXIII XXIV XXV XXVI XXVII Unratified Amendments Congressional Apportionment Titles of Nobility Corwin Child Labor Equal Rights D.C. Voting Rights History Drafting and ratification timeline Convention Signing Federalism Republicanism Full text of the Constitution and Amendments Preamble and Articles I -- VII Amendments I -- X Amendments XI -- XXVII Unratified Amendments United States portal U.S. Government portal Law portal Wikipedia book The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution each contain a due process clause . Due process deals with the administration of justice and thus the due process clause acts as a safeguard from arbitrary denial of life , liberty , or property by the government outside the sanction of law . The Supreme Court of the United States interprets the clauses more broadly , concluding that these clauses provide four protections : procedural due process ( in civil and criminal proceedings ) , substantive due process , a prohibition against vague laws , and as the vehicle for the incorporation of the Bill of Rights . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Drafting 3 Text 4 Interpretation 4.1 Scope 4.2 `` State '' 4.3 `` Person '' 4.4 `` Liberty '' 4.5 State actor 4.6 Procedural due process 4.6. 1 Civil procedural due process 4.6. 2 Criminal procedural due process 4.7 Substantive due process 4.8 Void for vagueness 4.9 Incorporation of the Bill of Rights 4.10 Reverse incorporation of equal protection 4.11 Levels of scrutiny 4.12 Remedies 5 Criticism 5.1 Substantive due process 6 Due process clauses in state constitutions 6.1 New York 7 References Background ( edit ) Main article : Due process Clause 39 of Magna Carta provided : No free man shall be seized or imprisoned , or stripped of his rights or possessions , or outlawed or exiled , or deprived of his standing in any other way , nor will we proceed with force against him , or send others to do so , except by the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the land . The phrase `` due process of law '' first appeared in a statutory rendition of Magna Carta in 1354 during the reign of Edward III of England , as follows : No man of what state or condition he be , shall be put out of his lands or tenements nor taken ( taken to mean arrested or deprived of liberty by the state ) , nor disinherited , nor put to death , without he be brought to answer by due process of law . Drafting ( edit ) New York was the only state that asked Congress to add `` due process '' language to the U.S. Constitution . New York ratified the U.S. Constitution and proposed the following amendment in 1788 : ( N ) o Person ought to be taken imprisoned or disseized of his freehold , or be exiled or deprived of his Privileges , Franchises , Life , Liberty or Property but by due process of Law . In response to this proposal from New York , James Madison drafted a due process clause for Congress . Madison cut out some language and inserted the word without , which had not been proposed by New York . Congress then adopted the exact wording that Madison proposed after Madison explained that the due process clause would not be sufficient to protect various other rights : Although I know whenever the great rights , the trial by jury , freedom of the press , or liberty of conscience , come in question in that body ( Parliament ) , the invasion of them is resisted by able advocates , yet their Magna Carta does not contain any one provision for the security of those rights , respecting which the people of America are most alarmed . Text ( edit ) The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides : No person shall ... be deprived of life , liberty , or property , without due process of law ... Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides : ( N ) or shall any State deprive any person of life , liberty , or property , without due process of law ... Interpretation ( edit ) Scope ( edit ) The Supreme Court has interpreted the due process clauses in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment identically , as Justice Felix Frankfurter once explained in a concurring opinion : To suppose that ' due process of law ' meant one thing in the Fifth Amendment and another in the Fourteenth is too frivolous to require elaborate rejection . In 1855 , the Supreme Court explained that , to ascertain whether a process is due process , the first step is to `` examine the constitution itself , to see whether this process be in conflict with any of its provisions '' . Also in 1855 , the U.S. Supreme Court said , The words , `` due process of law '' , were undoubtedly intended to convey the same meaning as the words , `` by the law of the land '' , in Magna Carta . In the 1884 case of Hurtado v. California , the Court said : Due process of law in the ( Fourteenth Amendment ) refers to that law of the land in each state which derives its authority from the inherent and reserved powers of the state , exerted within the limits of those fundamental principles of liberty and justice which lie at the base of all our civil and political institutions , and the greatest security for which resides in the right of the people to make their own laws , and alter them at their pleasure . Due process also applies to the creation of taxing districts , as taxation is a deprivation of property . Due process typically requires public hearings prior to the creation of a taxing district . `` State '' ( edit ) Due process applies to Puerto Rico , although it is not a State . `` Person '' ( edit ) The due process clauses apply to both natural persons as well as to `` legal persons '' ( that is , corporate personhood ) as well as to individuals , including both citizens and non-citizens . The Fifth Amendment due process was first applied to corporations in 1893 by the Supreme Court in Noble v. Union River Logging . Noble was preceded by Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad in 1886 . The due process clauses also apply to non-citizens who are within the United States , although the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized that non-citizens can be stopped , detained , and denied past immigration officials at points of entry ( e.g. at a port or airport ) without the protection of the Due Process Clause because , while technically on U.S. soil , they are not considered to have entered the United States . `` Liberty '' ( edit ) The U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted the term `` liberty '' in the due process clauses broadly : Although the Court has not assumed to define `` liberty '' with any great precision , that term is not confined to mere freedom from bodily restraint . Liberty under law extends to the full range of conduct which the individual is free to pursue , and it can not be restricted except for a proper governmental objective . State actor ( edit ) Main article : State actor The prohibitions , generally , of the due process clauses apply only to the actions of state actors , and not against private citizens . However , where a private person is acting jointly with state officials in a prohibited action , they are said to be acting under the `` color of the law '' for the purposes of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 . While private actors are not generally held to the actions of private citizens , it remains that private citizens may be held criminally liable for a federal felony or misdemeanor , if they conspire with the government to commit actions which violate the due process clauses of the constitution . Procedural due process ( edit ) Procedural due process requires government officials to follow fair procedures before depriving a person of life , liberty , or property . When the government seeks to deprive a person of one of those interests , procedural due process requires the government to afford the person , at minimum , notice , an opportunity to be heard , and a decision made by a neutral decisionmaker . This protection extends to all government proceedings that can result in an individual 's deprivation , whether civil or criminal in nature , from parole violation hearings to administrative hearings regarding government benefits and entitlements to full - blown criminal trials . The article `` Some Kind of Hearing '' written by Judge Henry Friendly created a list of basic due process rights `` that remains highly influential , as to both content and relative priority '' . These rights , which apply equally to civil due process and criminal due process , are : An unbiased tribunal . Notice of the proposed action and the grounds asserted for it . Opportunity to present reasons why the proposed action should not be taken . The right to present evidence , including the right to call witnesses . The right to know opposing evidence . The right to cross-examine adverse witnesses . A decision based exclusively on the evidence presented . Opportunity to be represented by counsel . Requirement that the tribunal prepares a record of the evidence presented . Requirement that the tribunal prepares written findings of fact and reasons for its decision . Civil procedural due process ( edit ) Procedural due process is essentially based on the concept of `` fundamental fairness '' . For example , in 1934 , the United States Supreme Court held that due process is violated `` if a practice or rule offends some principle of justice so rooted in the traditions and conscience of our people as to be ranked as fundamental '' . As construed by the courts , it includes an individual 's right to be adequately notified of charges or proceedings , the opportunity to be heard at these proceedings , and that the person or panel making the final decision over the proceedings be impartial in regards to the matter before them . To put it more simply , where an individual is facing a deprivation of life , liberty , or property , procedural due process mandates that he or she is entitled to adequate notice , a hearing , and a neutral judge . The Supreme Court has formulated a balancing test to determine the rigor with which the requirements of procedural due process should be applied to a particular deprivation , for the obvious reason that mandating such requirements in the most expansive way for even the most minor deprivations would bring the machinery of government to a halt . The Court set out the test as follows : `` ( I ) dentification of the specific dictates of due process generally requires consideration of three distinct factors : first , the private interest that will be affected by the official action ; second , the risk of an erroneous deprivation of such interest through the procedures used , and the probable value , if any , of additional or substitute procedural safeguards ; and , finally , the Government 's interest , including the function involved and the fiscal and administrative burdens that the additional or substitute procedural requirement would entail . '' Procedural due process has also been an important factor in the development of the law of personal jurisdiction , in the sense that it is inherently unfair for the judicial machinery of a state to take away the property of a person who has no connection to it whatsoever . A significant portion of U.S. constitutional law is therefore directed to what kinds of connections to a state are enough for that state 's assertion of jurisdiction over a nonresident to comport with procedural due process . The requirement of a neutral judge has introduced a constitutional dimension to the question of whether a judge should recuse himself or herself from a case . Specifically , the Supreme Court has ruled that in certain circumstances , the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment requires a judge to recuse himself on account of a potential or actual conflict of interest . For example , in Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co. ( 2009 ) , the Court ruled that a justice of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia could not participate in a case involving a major donor to his election to that court . Criminal procedural due process ( edit ) In criminal cases , many of these due process protections overlap with procedural protections provided by the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution , which guarantees reliable procedures that protect innocent people from being executed , which would be an obvious example of cruel and unusual punishment . An example of criminal due process rights is the case Vitek v. Jones , 445 U.S. 480 ( 1980 ) . The due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment requires certain procedural protections for state prisoners who may be transferred involuntarily to a state mental hospital for treatment of a mental disease or defect , such protections including written notice of the transfer , an adversary hearing before an independent decisionmaker , written findings , and effective and timely notice of such rights . As established by the district court and upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in Vitek v. Jones , these due process rights include : Written notice to the prisoner that a transfer to a mental hospital is being considered ; A hearing , sufficiently after the notice to permit the prisoner to prepare , at which disclosure to the prisoner is made of the evidence being relied upon for the transfer and at which an opportunity to be heard in person and to present documentary evidence is given ; An opportunity at the hearing to present testimony of witnesses by the defense and to confront and cross-examine witnesses called by the state , except upon a finding , not arbitrarily made , of good cause for not permitting such presentation , confrontation , or cross-examination ; An independent decisionmaker ; A written statement by the factfinder as to the evidence relied on and the reasons for transferring the inmate ; Availability of legal counsel , furnished by the state , if the inmate is financially unable to furnish his own ( It must be noted however that a majority of Justices rejected this right to state - furnished counsel . ) ; and Effective and timely notice of all the foregoing rights . Substantive due process ( edit ) Main article : Substantive due process By the middle of the 19th century , `` due process of law '' was interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court to mean that `` it was not left to the legislative power to enact any process which might be devised . The due process article is a restraint on the legislative as well as on the executive and judicial powers of the government , and can not be so construed as to leave Congress free to make any process ' due process of law ' by its mere will . '' The term `` substantive due process '' ( SDP ) is commonly used in two ways : first to identify a particular line of case law , and second to signify a particular attitude toward judicial review under the due process clause . The term `` substantive due process '' began to take form in 1930s legal casebooks as a categorical distinction of selected due process cases , and by 1950 had been mentioned twice in Supreme Court opinions . SDP involves liberty - based due process challenges which seek certain outcomes instead of merely contesting procedures and their effects ; in such cases , the Supreme Court recognizes a constitutionally - based `` liberty '' which then renders laws seeking to limit said `` liberty '' either unenforceable or limited in scope . Critics of SDP decisions typically assert that those liberties ought to be left to the more politically accountable branches of government . Courts have viewed the due process clause , and sometimes other clauses of the Constitution , as embracing those fundamental rights that are `` implicit in the concept of ordered liberty '' . Just what those rights are is not always clear , nor is the Supreme Court 's authority to enforce such unenumerated rights clear . Some of those rights have long histories or `` are deeply rooted '' in American society . The courts have largely abandoned the Lochner era approach ( c. 1897 - 1937 ) when substantive due process was used to strike down minimum wage and labor laws in order to protect freedom of contract . Since then , the Supreme Court has decided that numerous other freedoms that do not appear in the plain text of the Constitution are nevertheless protected by the Constitution . If these rights were not protected by the federal courts ' doctrine of substantive due process , they could nevertheless be protected in other ways ; for example , it is possible that some of these rights could be protected by other provisions of the state or federal constitutions , and alternatively they could be protected by legislatures . Today , the Court focuses on three types of rights under substantive due process in the Fourteenth Amendment , which originated in United States v. Carolene Products Co. , 304 U.S. 144 ( 1938 ) , footnote 4 . Those three types of rights are : the first eight amendments in the Bill of Rights ( e.g. , the Eighth Amendment ) ; restrictions on the political process ( e.g. , the rights of voting , association , and free speech ) ; and the rights of `` discrete and insular minorities '' . The Court usually looks first to see if there is a fundamental right , by examining if the right can be found deeply rooted in American history and traditions . Where the right is not a fundamental right , the court applies a rational basis test : if the violation of the right can be rationally related to a legitimate government purpose , then the law is held valid . If the court establishes that the right being violated is a fundamental right , it applies strict scrutiny . This test inquires into whether there is a compelling state interest being furthered by the violation of the right , and whether the law in question is narrowly tailored to address the state interest . Privacy , which is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution , was at issue in Griswold v. Connecticut ( 1965 ) , wherein the Court held that criminal prohibition of contraceptive devices for married couples violated federal , judicially enforceable privacy rights . The right to contraceptives was found in what the Court called the `` penumbras '' , or shadowy edges , of certain amendments that arguably refer to certain privacy rights . The penumbra - based rationale of Griswold has since been discarded ; the Supreme Court now uses the due process clause as a basis for various unenumerated privacy rights . Although it has never been the majority view , some have argued that the Ninth Amendment ( addressing unenumerated rights ) could be used as a source of fundamental judicially enforceable rights , including a general right to privacy , as discussed by Justice Goldberg concurring in Griswold . Void for vagueness ( edit ) Main article : Void for vagueness The courts have generally determined that laws which are too vague for the average citizen to understand deprive citizens of their rights to due process . If an average person can not determine who is regulated , what conduct is prohibited , or what punishment may be imposed by a law , courts may find that law to be void for vagueness . See Coates v. Cincinnati , where the word `` annoying '' was deemed to lack due process insertion of fair warning . Incorporation of the Bill of rights ( edit ) Main article : Incorporation of the Bill of Rights Incorporation is the legal doctrine by which the Bill of Rights , either in full or in part , is applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment 's due process clause . The basis for incorporation is substantive due process regarding substantive rights enumerated elsewhere in the Constitution , and procedural due process regarding procedural rights enumerated elsewhere in the Constitution . Incorporation started in 1897 with a takings case , continued with Gitlow v. New York ( 1925 ) , which was a First Amendment case , and accelerated in the 1940s and 1950s . Justice Hugo Black famously favored the jot - for - jot incorporation of the entire Bill of Rights . Justice Felix Frankfurter , however -- joined later by Justice John M. Harlan -- felt that the federal courts should only apply those sections of the Bill of Rights that were `` fundamental to a scheme of ordered liberty '' . It was the latter course that the Warren Court of the 1960s took , although almost all of the Bill of Rights has now been incorporated jot - for - jot against the states . The latest Incorporation is the 2nd Amendment which made the individual and fundamental right to `` keep and bear arms '' fully applicable to the States ; see McDonald vs. City of Chicago , 561 U.S. ( 2010 ) . The role of the incorporation doctrine in applying the guarantees of the Bill of Rights to the states is just as notable as the use of due process to define new fundamental rights that are not explicitly guaranteed by the Constitution 's text . In both cases , the question has been whether the right asserted is `` fundamental '' , so that , just as not all proposed `` new '' constitutional rights are afforded judicial recognition , not all provisions of the Bill of Rights have been deemed sufficiently fundamental to warrant enforcement against the states . Some people , such as Justice Black , have argued that the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment would be a more appropriate textual source for the incorporation doctrine . The Court has not taken that course , and some point to the treatment given to the Privileges or Immunities Clause in the 1873 Slaughter - House Cases as a reason why . Although the Slaughter - House Court did not expressly preclude application of the Bill of Rights to the states , the clause largely ceased to be invoked in opinions of the Court following the Slaughter - House Cases , and when incorporation did begin , it was under the rubric of due process . Scholars who share Justice Black 's view , such as Akhil Amar , argue that the Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment , like Senator Jacob Howard and Congressman John Bingham , included a due process clause in the Fourteenth Amendment for the following reason : `` By incorporating the rights of the Fifth Amendment , the privileges or immunities clause would ... have prevented states from depriving ' citizens ' of due process . Bingham , Howard , and company wanted to go even further by extending the benefits of state due process to aliens . '' The Supreme Court has consistently held that Fifth Amendment due process means substantially the same as Fourteenth Amendment due process , and therefore the original meaning of the former is relevant to the incorporation doctrine of the latter . When the Bill of Rights was originally proposed by Congress in 1789 to the states , various substantive and procedural rights were `` classed according to their affinity to each other '' instead of being submitted to the states `` as a single act to be adopted or rejected in the gross '' , as James Madison put it . Roger Sherman explained in 1789 that each amendment `` may be passed upon distinctly by the States , and any one that is adopted by three fourths of the legislatures may become a part of the Constitution '' . Thus , the states were allowed to reject the Sixth Amendment , for example , while ratifying all of the other amendments including the due process clause ; in that case , the rights in the Sixth Amendment would not have been incorporated against the federal government . The doctrine of incorporating the content of other amendments into `` due process '' was thus an innovation , when it began in 1925 with the Gitlow case , and this doctrine remains controversial today . Reverse incorporation of equal protection ( edit ) Further information : Equal Protection Clause In Bolling v. Sharpe 347 U.S. 497 ( 1954 ) , the Supreme Court held that `` the concepts of equal protection and due process , both stemming from our American ideal of fairness , are not mutually exclusive . '' The Court thus interpreted the Fifth Amendment 's due process clause to include an equal protection element . In Lawrence v. Texas the Supreme Court added : `` Equality of treatment and the due process right to demand respect for conduct protected by the substantive guarantee of liberty are linked in important respects , and a decision on the latter point advances both interests . '' Levels of scrutiny ( edit ) When a law or other act of government is challenged as a violation of individual liberty under the due process clause , courts nowadays primarily use two forms of scrutiny , or judicial review , which is used by the Judicial Branch . This inquiry balances the importance of the governmental interest being served and the appropriateness of the government 's method of implementation against the resulting infringement of individual rights . If the governmental action infringes upon a fundamental right , the highest level of review -- strict scrutiny -- is used . To pass strict scrutiny review , the law or act must be narrowly tailored to further a compelling government interest . When the governmental restriction restricts liberty in a manner that does not implicate a fundamental right , rational basis review is used . Here a legitimate government interest is enough to pass this review . There is also a middle level of scrutiny , called intermediate scrutiny , but it is primarily used in Equal Protection cases rather than in Due Process cases . Remedies ( edit ) The Court held in 1967 that `` we can not leave to the States the formulation of the authoritative ... remedies designed to protect people from infractions by the States of federally guaranteed rights '' . Criticism ( edit ) Substantive due process ( edit ) Critics of a substantive due process often claim that the doctrine began , at the federal level , with the infamous 1857 slavery case of Dred Scott v. Sandford . However , other critics contend that substantive due process was not used by the federal judiciary until after the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted in 1869 . Advocates of a substantive due process who assert that the doctrine was employed in Dred Scott claim that it was employed incorrectly . Additionally , the first appearance of a substantive due process as a concept arguably appeared earlier in the case of Bloomer v. McQuewan , 55 U.S. 539 ( 1852 ) , so that Chief Justice Taney would not have been entirely breaking ground in his Dred Scott opinion when he pronounced the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional because , among other reasons , an `` act of Congress that deprived a citizen of his liberty or property merely because he came himself or brought his property into a particular territory of the United States , and who had committed no offence against the laws , could hardly be dignified with the name of due process of law '' . Dissenting Justice Curtis disagreed with Taney about what `` due process '' meant in Dred Scott . Criticisms of the doctrine continue as in the past . Critics argue that judges are making determinations of policy and morality that properly belong with legislators ( i.e. `` legislating from the bench '' ) , or argue that judges are reading views into the Constitution that are not really implied by the document , or argue that judges are claiming the power to expand the liberty of some people at the expense of other people 's liberty ( e.g. as in the Dred Scott case ) , or argue that judges are addressing substance instead of process . Oliver Wendell Holmes , Jr. , a realist , worried that the Court was overstepping its boundaries , and the following is from one of his last dissents : I have not yet adequately expressed the more than anxiety that I feel at the ever increasing scope given to the Fourteenth Amendment in cutting down what I believe to be the constitutional rights of the States . As the decisions now stand , I see hardly any limit but the sky to the invalidating of those rights if they happen to strike a majority of this Court as for any reason undesirable . I can not believe that the Amendment was intended to give us carte blanche to embody our economic or moral beliefs in its prohibitions . Yet I can think of no narrower reason that seems to me to justify the present and the earlier decisions to which I have referred . Of course the words due process of law , if taken in their literal meaning , have no application to this case ; and while it is too late to deny that they have been given a much more extended and artificial signification , still we ought to remember the great caution shown by the Constitution in limiting the power of the States , and should be slow to construe the clause in the Fourteenth Amendment as committing to the Court , with no guide but the Court 's own discretion , the validity of whatever laws the States may pass . Originalists , such as Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas , who rejects substantive due process doctrine , and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia , who has also questioned the legitimacy of the doctrine , call a substantive due process a `` judicial usurpation '' or an `` oxymoron '' . Both Scalia and Thomas have occasionally joined Court opinions that mention the doctrine , and have in their dissents often argued over how substantive due process should be employed based on Court precedent . Many non-originalists , like Justice Byron White , have also been critical of a substantive due process . As propounded in his dissents in Moore v. East Cleveland and Roe v. Wade , as well as his majority opinion in Bowers v. Hardwick , White argued that the doctrine of a substantive due process gives the judiciary too much power over the governance of the nation and takes away such power from the elected branches of government . He argued that the fact that the Court has created new substantive rights in the past should not lead it to `` repeat the process at will '' . In his book Democracy and Distrust , non-originalist John Hart Ely criticized `` substantive due process '' as a glaring non-sequitur . Ely argued the phrase was a contradiction - in - terms , like the phrase green pastel redness . Originalism is usually linked to opposition against substantive due process rights , and the reasons for that can be found in the following explanation that was endorsed unanimously by the Supreme Court in a 1985 case : `` ( W ) e must always bear in mind that the substantive content of the ( due process ) clause is suggested neither by its language nor by preconstitutional history ; that content is nothing more than the accumulated product of judicial interpretation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments . '' Originalists do not necessarily oppose protection of the rights heretofore protected using substantive due process ; rather , most originalists believe that such rights should be identified and protected through legislation , through passing amendments to the constitution , or via other existing provisions of the Constitution . The perceived scope of the due process clause was originally different than it is today . For instance , even though many of the Framers of the Bill of Rights believed that slavery violated the fundamental natural rights of African - Americans , a `` theory that declared slavery to be a violation of the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment ... requires nothing more than a suspension of reason concerning the origin , intent , and past interpretation of the clause '' . Due process clauses in state constitutions ( edit ) No state or federal constitution in the U.S. had ever before utilized any `` due process '' wording , prior to 1791 when the federal Bill of Rights was ratified . New York ( edit ) In New York , a statutory bill of rights was enacted in 1787 , and it contained four different due process clauses . Alexander Hamilton commented on the language of that New York bill of rights : `` The words ' due process ' have a precise technical import , and are only applicable to the process and proceedings of the courts of justice ; they can never be referred to an act of the legislature .

due process of the law in the united states is generally defined by the
[ "The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution each contain a due process clause. Due process deals with the administration of justice and thus the due process clause acts as a safeguard from arbitrary denial of life, liberty, or property by the government outside the sanction of law.[1] The Supreme Court of the United States interprets the clauses more broadly, concluding that these clauses provide four protections: procedural due process (in civil and criminal proceedings), substantive due process, a prohibition against vague laws, and as the vehicle for the incorporation of the Bill of Rights." ]

The first Winter Olympics , the 1924 Winter Olympics , were held in Chamonix , France . The modern Olympic games were inspired by the ancient Olympic Games , which were held in Olympia , Greece , from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD . Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) in 1894 , leading to the first modern Summer Games in Athens , Greece in 1896 . The IOC is the governing body of the Olympic Movement , with the Olympic Charter defining its structure and authority . The original five Winter Olympics sports ( broken into nine disciplines ) were bobsleigh , curling , ice hockey , Nordic skiing ( consisting of the disciplines military patrol , cross-country skiing , Nordic combined , and ski jumping ) , and skating ( consisting of the disciplines figure skating and speed skating ) . The Games were held every four years from 1924 to 1936 , interrupted in 1940 and 1944 by World War II , and resumed in 1948 . Until 1992 the Winter and Summer Olympic Games were held in the same years , but in accordance with a 1986 decision by the IOC to place the Summer and Winter Games on separate four - year cycles in alternating even - numbered years , the next Winter Olympics after 1992 was in 1994 . The Winter Games have evolved since their inception . Sports and disciplines have been added and some of them , such as Alpine skiing , luge , short track speed skating , freestyle skiing , skeleton , and snowboarding , have earned a permanent spot on the Olympic programme . Some others , including curling and bobsleigh , have been discontinued and later reintroduced ; others have been permanently discontinued , such as military patrol , though the modern Winter Olympic sport of biathlon is descended from it . Still others , such as speed skiing , bandy and skijoring , were demonstration sports but never incorporated as Olympic sports . The rise of television as a global medium for communication enhanced the profile of the Games . It generated income via the sale of broadcast rights and advertising , which has become lucrative for the IOC . This allowed outside interests , such as television companies and corporate sponsors , to exert influence . The IOC has had to address numerous criticisms over the decades like internal scandals , the use of performance - enhancing drugs by Winter Olympians , as well as a political boycott of the Winter Olympics . Nations have used the Winter ( as well as Summer ) Games to proclaim the superiority of their political systems . The Winter Olympics has been hosted on three continents by twelve different countries . The Games have been held four times in the United States ( in 1932 , 1960 , 1980 and 2002 ) ; three times in France ( in 1924 , 1968 and 1992 ) ; and twice each in Austria ( 1964 , 1976 ) , Canada ( 1988 , 2010 ) , Japan ( 1972 , 1998 ) , Italy ( 1956 , 2006 ) , Norway ( 1952 , 1994 ) , and Switzerland ( 1928 , 1948 ) . Also , the Games have been held just once each in Germany ( 1936 ) , Yugoslavia ( 1984 ) , Russia ( 2014 ) and South Korea ( 2018 ) . The IOC has selected Beijing , China , to host the 2022 Winter Olympics and the host of the 2026 Winter Olympics will be selected in September 2019 . As of 2018 , no city in the southern hemisphere has applied to host the cold - weather - dependent Winter Olympics , which are held in February at the height of the southern hemisphere summer . To date , twelve countries have participated in every Winter Olympic Games -- Austria , Canada , Finland , France , Great Britain , Hungary , Italy , Norway , Poland , Sweden , Switzerland and the United States . Six of those countries have earned medals at every Winter Olympic Games -- Austria , Canada , Finland , Norway , Sweden and the United States . The only country to have earned a gold medal at every Winter Olympics is the United States . Norway leads the all - time medal table for the Winter Olympics both on number of gold and overall medals , followed by the United States and Germany .

A predecessor , the Nordic Games , were organised by General Viktor Gustaf Balck in Stockholm , Sweden in 1901 and were held again in 1903 and 1905 and then every fourth year thereafter until 1926 . Balck was a charter member of the IOC and a close friend of Olympic Games founder Pierre de Coubertin . He attempted to have winter sports , specifically figure skating , added to the Olympic programme but was unsuccessful until the 1908 Summer Olympics in London , United Kingdom . Four figure skating events were contested , at which Ulrich Salchow ( 10 - time world champion ) and Madge Syers won the individual titles . Three years later , Italian count Eugenio Brunetta d'Usseaux proposed that the IOC stage a week of winter sports included as part of the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm , Sweden . The organisers opposed this idea because they desired to protect the integrity of the Nordic Games and were concerned about a lack of facilities for winter sports . World War I ( edit ) The idea was resurrected for the 1916 Games , which were to be held in Berlin , Germany . A winter sports week with speed skating , figure skating , ice hockey and Nordic skiing was planned , but the 1916 Olympics was cancelled after the outbreak of World War I . 1920 to 1936 ( edit ) The first Olympics after the war , the 1920 Summer Olympics , were held in Antwerp , Belgium , and featured figure skating and an ice hockey tournament . Germany , Austria , Hungary , Bulgaria and Turkey were banned from competing in the Games . At the IOC Congress held the following year it was decided that the host nation of the 1924 Summer Olympics , France , would host a separate `` International Winter Sports Week '' under the patronage of the IOC . Chamonix was chosen to host this `` week '' ( actually 11 days ) of events . The Games proved to be a success when more than 250 athletes from 16 nations competed in 16 events . Athletes from Finland and Norway won 28 medals , more than the rest of the participating nations combined . Germany remained banned until 1925 , and instead hosted a series of games called Deutsche Kampfspiele , starting with the Winter edition of 1922 ( which predated the first Winter Olympics ) . In 1925 the IOC decided to create a separate winter event and the 1924 Games in Chamonix was retroactively designated as the first Winter Olympics . St. Moritz , Switzerland , was appointed by the IOC to host the second Winter Games in 1928 . Fluctuating weather conditions challenged the hosts . The opening ceremony was held in a blizzard while warm weather conditions plagued sporting events throughout the rest of the Games . Because of the weather the 10,000 metre speed - skating event had to be abandoned and officially cancelled . The weather was not the only noteworthy aspect of the 1928 Games : Sonja Henie of Norway made history when she won the figure skating competition at the age of 15 . She became the youngest Olympic champion in history , a distinction she held for 70 years . The next Winter Olympics held in Lake Placid , New York , was the first to be hosted outside of Europe . Seventeen nations and 252 athletes participated . This was less than in 1928 , as the journey to Lake Placid , United States , was long and expensive for most competitors , who had little money in the midst of the Great Depression . The athletes competed in fourteen events in four sports . Virtually no snow fell for two months before the Games , and there was not enough snow to hold all the events until mid-January . Sonja Henie defended her Olympic title , and Eddie Eagan of the United States , who had been an Olympic champion in boxing in 1920 , won the gold medal in the men 's bobsleigh event to become the first , and so far only , Olympian to have won gold medals in both the Summer and Winter Olympics . The German towns of Garmisch and Partenkirchen joined to organise the 1936 edition of the Winter Games , held on 6 -- 16 February . This was the last time the Summer and Winter Olympics were held in the same country in the same year . Alpine skiing made its Olympic debut , but skiing teachers were barred from entering because they were considered to be professionals . Because of this decision the Swiss and Austrian skiers refused to compete at the Games . World War II ( edit ) World War II interrupted the holding of the Winter Olympics . The 1940 Games had been awarded to Sapporo , Japan , but the decision was rescinded in 1938 because of the Japanese invasion of China . The Games were then to be held at Garmisch - Partenkirchen , Germany , but the 1940 Games were cancelled following the German invasion of Poland in 1939 . Due to the ongoing war , the 1944 Games , originally scheduled for Cortina D'Ampezzo , Italy , were cancelled . 1948 to 1960 ( edit ) The opening ceremonies of the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo St. Moritz was selected to host the first post-war Games in 1948 . Switzerland 's neutrality had protected the town during World War II , and most of the venues were in place from the 1928 Games , which made St. Moritz a logical choice . It became the first city to host a Winter Olympics twice . Twenty - eight countries competed in Switzerland , but athletes from Germany and Japan were not invited . Controversy erupted when two hockey teams from the United States arrived , both claiming to be the legitimate U.S. Olympic hockey representative . The Olympic flag presented at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp was stolen , as was its replacement . There was unprecedented parity at these Games , during which 10 countries won gold medals -- more than any Games to that point . The Olympic Flame for the 1952 Games in Oslo , was lit in the fireplace by skiing pioneer Sondre Nordheim , and the torch relay was conducted by 94 participants entirely on skis . Bandy , a popular sport in the Nordic countries , was featured as a demonstration sport , though only Norway , Sweden , and Finland fielded teams . Norwegian athletes won 17 medals , which outpaced all the other nations . They were led by Hjalmar Andersen who won three gold medals in four events in the speed skating competition . After not being able to host the Games in 1944 , Cortina d'Ampezzo was selected to organise the 1956 Winter Olympics . At the opening ceremonies the final torch bearer , Guido Caroli , entered the Olympic Stadium on ice skates . As he skated around the stadium his skate caught on a cable and he fell , nearly extinguishing the flame . He was able to recover and light the cauldron . These were the first Winter Games to be televised , and the first Olympics ever broadcast to an international audience , though no television rights were sold until the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome . The Cortina Games were used to test the feasibility of televising large sporting events . The Soviet Union made its Olympic debut and had an immediate impact , winning more medals than any other nation . Soviet immediate success might be explained by the advent of the state - sponsored `` full - time amateur athlete '' . The USSR entered teams of athletes who were all nominally students , soldiers , or working in a profession , but many of whom were in reality paid by the state to train full - time . Chiharu Igaya won the first Winter Olympics medal for Japan and the continent of Asia when he placed second in the slalom . The IOC awarded the 1960 Olympics to Squaw Valley , United States . It was an undeveloped resort in 1955 , so from 1956 to 1960 the infrastructure and all of the venues were built at a cost of US $80,000,000 . The opening and closing ceremonies were produced by Walt Disney . The Squaw Valley Olympics was the first winter Olympics to have a dedicated athletes ' village , the first to use a computer ( courtesy of IBM ) to tabulate results , and the first to feature female speed skating events . The bobsleigh events were absent for the only time due to the cost of building a bobsleigh run . 1964 to 1980 ( edit ) The Herb Brooks Arena in Lake Placid ( c. 2007 ) , site of the `` Miracle on Ice '' in 1980 The Austrian city of Innsbruck was the host in 1964 . Although Innsbruck was a traditional winter sports resort , warm weather caused a lack of snow during the Games and the Austrian army was enlisted to transport snow and ice to the sports venues . Soviet speed - skater Lidia Skoblikova made history by winning all four speed skating events . Her career total of six gold medals set a record for Winter Olympics athletes . Luge was first contested in 1964 , but the sport received bad publicity when a competitor was killed in a pre-Olympic training run . Held in the French town of Grenoble , the 1968 Winter Olympics were the first Olympic Games to be broadcast in colour . There were 1,158 athletes from 37 nations competing in 35 events . French alpine ski racer Jean - Claude Killy became only the second person to win all the men 's alpine skiing events . The organising committee sold television rights for US $2 million , which was more than twice the cost of the broadcast rights for the Innsbruck Games . Venues were spread over long distances requiring three athletes ' villages . The organisers claimed that this was necessary to accommodate technological advances , however critics disputed this , alleging that the layout would incorporate the best possible venues for television broadcasts at the athletes ' expense . The 1972 Winter Games , held in Sapporo , Japan , were the first to be hosted on a continent other than North America or Europe . The issue of professionalism was disputed during these Games when a number of alpine skiers were found to have participated in a ski camp at Mammoth Mountain in the United States ; three days before the opening ceremony , IOC president Avery Brundage threatened to bar the skiers from competing in the Games as he insisted that they were no longer amateurs having benefited financially from their status as athletes . Eventually only Austrian Karl Schranz , who earned more than the other skiers , was excluded from the competition . Canada did not send teams to the 1972 or 1976 ice hockey tournaments in protest at not being able to use players from professional leagues . Francisco Fernández Ochoa became the first ( and , as of 2018 , only ) Spaniard to win a Winter Olympic gold medal when he triumphed in the slalom . The 1976 Winter Olympics had initially been awarded in 1970 to Denver , Colorado in the United States . These Games would have coincided with the year of Colorado 's centennial and the United States Bicentennial . However , in November 1972 the people of Colorado voted against public funding of the Games by a 3 : 2 margin . The IOC responded by offering the Games to Vancouver - Garibaldi , British Columbia , which had previously been an official candidate for the 1976 Games . However , a change in the provincial government resulted in an administration that did not support the Olympic bid , so the IOC 's offer was rejected . Salt Lake City , previously a candidate for the 1972 Winter Olympics , then put itself forward , but the IOC opted instead to invite Innsbruck to host the 1976 Games , as most of the infrastructure from the 1964 Games had been maintained . Despite only having half the usual time to prepare for the Games , Innsbruck accepted the invitation to replace Denver in February 1973 . Two Olympic flames were lit because it was the second time that the Austrian town had hosted the Winter Games . The 1976 Games featured the first combination bobsleigh and luge track , in neighbouring Igls . The Soviet Union won its fourth consecutive ice hockey gold medal . In 1980 the Winter Olympics returned to Lake Placid , which had hosted the 1932 Games . The first boycott of a Winter Olympics took place at these Games , when Taiwan refused to participate after an edict by the IOC mandated that they change their name and national anthem . This was an attempt by the IOC to accommodate China , who wished to compete using the same name and anthem as those used by Taiwan . As a result , China participated for the first time since 1952 . American speed - skater Eric Heiden set either an Olympic or World record in every one of the five events in which he competed , winning a total of five individual gold medals and breaking the record for most individual golds in a single Olympics ( both Summer and Winter ) . Hanni Wenzel won both the slalom and giant slalom and her country , Liechtenstein , became the smallest nation to produce an Olympic gold medallist . In the `` Miracle on Ice '' , the American hockey team composed of college players beat the favoured seasoned professionals from the Soviet Union , and progressed to eventually win the gold medal . 1984 to 1998 ( edit ) Alberto Tomba , winner of five Olympic medals in Calgary , Albertville and Lillehammer Sapporo , Japan , and Gothenburg , Sweden , were front - runners to host the 1984 Winter Olympics . It was therefore a surprise when Sarajevo , Yugoslavia , was selected as host . The Games were well - organised and not affected by the run - up to the war that engulfed the country eight years later . A total of 49 nations and 1,272 athletes participated in 39 events . Host nation Yugoslavia won its first Olympic medal when alpine skier Jure Franko won silver in the giant slalom . Another sporting highlight was the free dance performance of British ice dancers Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean ; their Boléro routine received unanimous perfect scores for artistic impression , earning them the gold medal . The Olympic Torch from the 1988 Winter Olympic Games in Calgary In 1988 , the Canadian city of Calgary hosted the first Winter Olympics to span three weekends , lasting for a total of 16 days . New events were added in ski - jumping and speed skating , while future Olympic sports curling , short track speed skating and freestyle skiing made their debut appearance as demonstration sports . The speed skating events were held indoors for the first time , on the Olympic Oval . Dutch skater Yvonne van Gennip won three gold medals and set two world records , beating skaters from the favoured East German team in every race . Her medal total was equalled by Finnish ski jumper Matti Nykänen , who won all three events in his sport . Alberto Tomba , an Italian skier , made his Olympic debut by winning both the giant slalom and slalom . East German Christa Rothenburger won the women 's 1,000 metre speed skating event . Seven months later she would earn a silver in track cycling at the Summer Games in Seoul , to become the only athlete to win medals in both a Summer and Winter Olympics in the same year . The 1992 Winter Games were the last to be held in the same year as the Summer Games . They were hosted in the French Savoie region , with 18 events held in the city of Albertville and the remaining events spread out over the Savoie . Political changes of the time were reflected in the composition of the Olympic teams competing in France : this was the first Games to be held after the fall of Communism and the fall of the Berlin Wall , and Germany competed as a single nation for the first time since the 1964 Games ; former Yugoslavian republics Croatia and Slovenia made their debuts as independent nations ; most of the former Soviet republics still competed as a single team known as the Unified Team , but the Baltic States made independent appearances for the first time since before World War II . At 16 years old , Finnish ski jumper Toni Nieminen made history by becoming the youngest male Winter Olympic champion . New Zealand skier Annelise Coberger became the first Winter Olympic medallist from the southern hemisphere when she won a silver medal in the women 's slalom . The 1994 Winter Olympics , held in Lillehammer , Norway , were the first Winter Games to be held separately from the Summer Games . This change resulted from the decision reached in the 91st IOC Session ( 1986 ) to separate the summer and winter Games and place them in alternating even - numbered years . Lillehammer is the northernmost city to ever host the Winter Games and it was the second time the Games were held in Norway , after the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo . After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993 , the Czech Republic and Slovakia made their Olympic debuts . The women 's figure skating competition drew media attention when American skater Nancy Kerrigan was injured on 6 January 1994 , in an assault planned by the ex-husband of opponent Tonya Harding . Both skaters competed in the Games , but the gold medal was controversially won by Oksana Baiul who became Ukraine 's first Olympic champion , while Kerrigan won the silver medal . Johann Olav Koss of Norway won three gold medals , coming first in all of the distance speed skating events . 13 - year - old Kim Yoon - Mi became the youngest - ever Olympic gold medallist when South Korea won the women 's 3,000 meter speed skating relay . Russia won the most events , with eleven gold medals , while Norway achieved 26 podium finishes , collecting the most medals overall on home ground . Juan Antonio Samaranch described Lillehammer as `` the best Olympic Winter Games ever '' in his closing ceremony speech . The 1998 Winter Olympics were held in the Japanese city of Nagano and were the first Games to host more than 2,000 athletes . The men 's ice hockey tournament was opened to professionals for the first time . Canada and the United States were favoured to win the tournament as they both fielded numerous NHL players , but surprisingly neither team won any medals and it was the Czech Republic who prevailed . Women 's ice hockey made its debut and the United States won the gold medal . Bjørn Dæhlie of Norway won three gold medals in Nordic skiing , becoming the most decorated Winter Olympic athlete , with eight gold medals and twelve medals overall . Austrian Hermann Maier survived a crash during the downhill competition and returned to win gold in the super-G and the giant slalom . Tara Lipinski of the United States , aged just 15 , became the youngest ever female gold medallist in an individual event when she won the Ladies ' Singles , a record that had stood since Sonja Henie of Norway won the same event , also aged 15 , in St. Moritz in 1928 . New world records were set in speed skating largely due to the introduction of the clap skate . 21st century ( edit ) 2002 to 2010 ( edit ) Olympic flame during the Opening Ceremony of the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City The 2002 Winter Olympics were held in Salt Lake City , United States , hosting 77 nations and 2,399 athletes in 78 events in 7 sports . These Games were the first to take place since the September 11 attacks of 2001 , which meant a higher degree of security to avoid a terrorist attack . The opening ceremony saw signs of the aftermath of the events of that day , including the flag that flew at Ground Zero , NYPD officer Daniel Rodríguez singing `` God Bless America '' , and honour guards of NYPD and FDNY members . German Georg Hackl won a silver in the singles luge , becoming the first athlete in Olympic history to win medals in the same individual event in five consecutive Olympics . Canada achieved an unprecedented double by winning both the men 's and women 's ice hockey gold medals . Canada became embroiled with Russia in a controversy that involved the judging of the pairs figure skating competition . The Russian pair of Yelena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze competed against the Canadian pair of Jamie Salé and David Pelletier for the gold medal . The Canadians appeared to have skated well enough to win the competition , yet the Russians were awarded the gold . The judging broke along Cold War lines with judges from former Communist countries favouring the Russian pair and judges from Western nations voting for the Canadians . The only exception was the French judge , Marie - Reine Le Gougne , who awarded the gold to the Russians . An investigation revealed that she had been pressured to give the gold to the Russian pair regardless of how they skated ; in return the Russian judge would look favourably on the French entrants in the ice dancing competition . The IOC decided to award both pairs the gold medal in a second medal ceremony held later in the Games . Australian Steven Bradbury became the first gold medallist from the southern hemisphere when he won the 1,000 metre short - track speed skating event . Close - up of the Olympic Flame during the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin The Italian city of Turin hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics . It was the second time that Italy had hosted the Winter Olympic Games . South Korean athletes won 10 medals , including 6 gold in the short - track speed skating events . Sun - Yu Jin won three gold medals while her teammate Hyun - Soo Ahn won three gold medals and a bronze . In the women 's Cross-Country team pursuit Canadian Sara Renner broke one of her poles and , when he saw her dilemma , Norwegian coach Bjørnar Håkensmoen decided to lend her a pole . In so doing she was able to help her team win a silver medal in the event at the expense of the Norwegian team , who finished fourth . On winning the Super-G , Kjetil - Andre Aamodt of Norway became the most decorated ski racer of all time with 4 gold and 8 overall medals . He is also the only ski racer to have won the same event at three different Olympics , winning the Super-G in 1992 , 2002 and 2006 . Claudia Pechstein of Germany became the first speed skater to earn nine career medals . In February 2009 , Pechstein tested positive for `` blood manipulation '' and received a two - year suspension , which she appealed . The Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld her suspension but a Swiss court ruled that she could compete for a spot on the 2010 German Olympic team . This ruling was brought to the Swiss Federal Tribunal , which overturned the lower court 's ruling and precluded her from competing in Vancouver . A memorial to Nodar Kumaritashvili in Whistler , photographed on 20 March 2010 In 2003 the IOC awarded the 2010 Winter Olympics to Vancouver , thus allowing Canada to host its second Winter Olympics . With a population of more than 2.5 million people Vancouver is the largest metropolitan area to ever host a Winter Olympic Games . Over 2,500 athletes from 82 countries participated in 86 events . The death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili in a training run on the day of the opening ceremonies resulted in the Whistler Sliding Centre changing the track layout on safety grounds . Norwegian cross-country skier Marit Bjørgen won five medals in the six cross-country events on the women 's programme . She finished the Olympics with three golds , a silver and a bronze . The Vancouver Games were notable for the poor performance of the Russian athletes . From their first Winter Olympics in 1956 to the 2006 Games , a Soviet or Russian delegation had never been outside the top five medal - winning nations , but in 2010 they finished sixth in total medals and eleventh in gold medals . President Dmitry Medvedev called for the resignation of top sports officials immediately after the Games . Russia 's disappointing performance at Vancouver is cited as the reason behind the implementation of a doping scheme alleged to have been in operation at major events such as the 2014 Games at Sochi . The success of Asian countries stood in stark contrast to the under - performing Russian team , with Vancouver marking a high point for medals won by Asian countries . In 1992 the Asian countries had won fifteen medals , three of which were gold . In Vancouver the total number of medals won by athletes from Asia had increased to thirty - one , with eleven of them being gold . The rise of Asian nations in Winter Olympics sports is due in part to the growth of winter sports programmes and the interest in winter sports in nations such as South Korea , Japan and China . 2014 to 2018 ( edit ) Sochi , Russia , was selected as the host city for the 2014 Winter Olympics over Salzburg , Austria , and Pyeongchang , South Korea . This was the first time that Russia had hosted a Winter Olympics . The Games took place from 7 to 23 February 2014 . A record 2,800 athletes from 88 countries competed in 98 events . The Olympic Village and Olympic Stadium were located on the Black Sea coast . All of the mountain venues were 50 kilometres ( 31 miles ) away in the alpine region known as Krasnaya Polyana . The Games were the most expensive so far , with a cost of £ 30 billion ( USD 51 billion ) . On the snow , Norwegian biathlete Ole Einar Bjørndalen took two golds to bring his total tally of Olympic medals to 13 , overtaking his compatriot Bjørn Dæhlie to become the most decorated Winter Olympian of all time . Another Norwegian , cross-country skier Marit Bjørgen took three golds ; her total of ten Olympic medals tied her as the female Winter Olympian with most medals , alongside Raisa Smetanina and Stefania Belmondo . Snowboarder Ayumu Hirano became the youngest medallist on snow at the Winter Games when he took a silver in the halfpipe competition at the age of fifteen . On the ice , the Dutch dominated the speed skating events , taking 23 medals , four clean sweeps of the podium places and at least one medal in each of the twelve medal events . Ireen Wüst was their most successful competitor , taking two golds and three silvers . In figure skating , Yuzuru Hanyu became the first skater to break the 100 - point barrier in the short programme on the way to winning the gold medal . Among the sledding disciplines , luger Armin Zöggeler took a bronze , becoming the first Winter Olympian to secure a medal in six consecutive Games . Following their disappointing performance at the 2010 Games , and an investment of £ 600 million in elite sport , Russia initially topped the medal table , taking 33 medals including thirteen golds . However Grigory Rodchenkov , the former head of the Russian national anti-doping laboratory , subsequently claimed that he had been involved in doping dozens of Russian competitors for the Games , and that he had been assisted by the Russian Federal Security Service in opening and re-sealing bottles containing urine samples so that samples with banned substances could be replaced with `` clean '' urine . A subsequent investigation commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency led by Richard McLaren concluded that a state - sponsored doping programme had operated in Russia from `` at least late 2011 to 2015 '' across the `` vast majority '' of Summer and Winter Olympic sports . On 5 December 2017 , the IOC announced that Russia would be banned from the 2018 Winter Olympics with immediate effect and by the end of 2017 the IOC Disciplinary Commission had disqualified 43 Russian athletes , stripping thirteen medals and knocking Russia from the top of the medal table , thus putting Norway in the lead . On 6 July 2011 , Pyeongchang , South Korea , was selected to host the 2018 Winter Olympics over Munich , Germany , and Annecy , France . This was the first time that South Korea had been selected to host a Winter Olympics and it was the second time the Olympics were held in the country overall , after the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul . The Games took place from 9 to 25 February 2018 . More than 2,900 athletes from 92 countries participated in 102 events . The Olympic Stadium and many of the sports venues were situated in the Alpensia Resort in Daegwallyeong - myeon , Pyeongchang , while a number of other sports venues were located in the Gangneung Olympic Park in Pyeongchang 's neighboring city of Gangneung . The lead - up to the 2018 Winter Olympics was affected by the tensions between North and South Korea and the ongoing Russian doping scandal . Despite tense relations , North Korea agreed to participate in the Games , enter with South Korea during the opening ceremony as a unified Korea , and field a unified team in women 's ice hockey . Individual Russian athletes , who qualified and could demonstrate they had complied with the IOC 's doping regulations , were given the option to compete neutrally in Pyeongchang as `` Olympic Athletes from Russia '' ( OAR ) but they were not allowed to compete under the Russian flag . The Games saw the addition of big air snowboarding , mass start speed skating , mixed doubles curling , and mixed team alpine skiing to the programme . On the ice , the Netherlands again dominated the speed skating , winning gold medals in seven of the ten individual events . Dutch speed skater Sven Kramer won gold in the men 's 5000m event , becoming the only male speed skater to win the same Olympic event three times . On the snow , Norway led the medal tally in cross-country skiing , with Marit Bjørgen winning bronze in the women 's team sprint and gold in the 30 kilometre classical event , bringing her total Olympic medal haul to fifteen , the most won by any athlete ( male or female ) in Winter Olympics history . Johannes Høsflot Klæbo became the youngest ever male to win an Olympic gold in cross-country skiing when he won the men 's sprint at age 21 . Noriaki Kasai of Japan became the first athlete in history to participate in eight Winter Olympics when he took part in the ski jumping qualification the day before the opening of the Games . Ester Ledecká of the Czech Republic won gold in the skiing super-G event and another gold in the snowboarding parallel giant slalom , making her the first female athlete to win Olympic gold medals in two different sports at a single Winter Games . Norway led the total medal standings with 39 , the highest number of medals by a nation in any Winter Olympics , followed by Germany 's 31 and Canada 's 29 . Host nation South Korea won seventeen medals , their highest medal haul at a Winter Olympics . Future ( edit ) The host city for the 2022 Winter Olympics , is Beijing in northern China , elected on 31 July 2015 , at the 128th IOC Session in Kuala Lumpur . Beijing will be the first city ever to have hosted both the Summer and Winter Olympics . The 2022 Winter Olympics will take place between 4 and 20 February 2022 . Controversy ( edit ) Main article : Olympic Games scandals and controversies § Winter Olympics Juan Antonio Samaranch , former IOC president , was implicated in a bidding scandal for the 2002 Winter Olympics . The process for awarding host city honours came under intense scrutiny after Salt Lake City had been awarded the right to host the 2002 Games . Soon after the host city had been announced it was discovered that the organisers had engaged in an elaborate bribery scheme to curry favour with IOC officials . Gifts and other financial considerations were given to those who would evaluate and vote on Salt Lake City 's bid . These gifts included medical treatment for relatives , a college scholarship for one member 's son and a land deal in Utah . Even IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch received two rifles valued at $2,000 . Samaranch defended the gift as inconsequential since , as president , he was a non-voting member . The subsequent investigation uncovered inconsistencies in the bids for every Games ( both summer and winter ) since 1988 . For example , the gifts received by IOC members from the Japanese Organising Committee for Nagano 's bid for the 1998 Winter Olympics were described by the investigation committee as `` astronomical '' . Although nothing strictly illegal had been done , the IOC feared that corporate sponsors would lose faith in the integrity of the process and that the Olympic brand would be tarnished to such an extent that advertisers would begin to pull their support . The investigation resulted in the expulsion of 10 IOC members and the sanctioning of another 10 . New terms and age limits were established for IOC membership , and 15 former Olympic athletes were added to the committee . Stricter rules for future bids were imposed , with ceilings imposed on the value of gifts IOC members could accept from bid cities . Host city legacy ( edit ) According to the IOC , the host city for the Winter Olympics is responsible for `` ... establishing functions and services for all aspects of the Games , such as sports planning , venues , finance , technology , accommodation , catering , media services , etc. , as well as operations during the Games . '' Due to the cost of hosting the Games , most host cities never realise a profit on their investment . For example , the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin , Italy , cost $3.6 billion to host . By comparison , the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano , Japan , cost $12.5 billion . The organisers of the Nagano Games claimed that the cost of extending the bullet train service from Tokyo to Nagano was responsible for the large price tag . The organising committee had hoped that the exposure gained from hosting the Winter Olympics , and the improved access to Nagano from Tokyo , would benefit the local economy for years afterwards . In actual fact , Nagano 's economy did experience a post-Olympic boom for a year or two , but the long - term effects have not materialised as anticipated . The likelihood of heavy debt is a deterrent to prospective host cities , as well as the prospect of unused sports venues and infrastructure saddling the local community with upkeep costs into the future with no appreciable post-Olympic value . The Winter games has the added problem of the alpine events requiring a mountain location ; the men 's downhill needs an 800 meter altitude difference along a suitable course . As this is a focal event that is central to the Games , the IOC will not agree to it taking place a great distance from the main host city . The requirement for a mountain location also means that venues such as hockey arenas often have to be built in sparsely populated areas with little future need for a large arena . Due to cost issues , the only candidate cities for the 2022 Winter Olympics were in dictatorship countries , and a number of European countries declined due to political doubt over costs . Both the 2006 and 2010 Games , which were hosted in countries where large cities are located close to suitable mountain regions , had lower costs since more venues and transport infrastructure already existed . The IOC has enacted several initiatives to mitigate these concerns . Firstly , the commission has agreed to fund part of the host city 's budget for staging the Games . Secondly , the qualifying host countries are limited to those that have the resources and infrastructure to successfully host an Olympic Games without negatively impacting the region or nation ; this consequently rules out a large portion of the developing world . Finally , any prospective host city planning to bid for the Games is required to add a `` legacy plan '' to their proposal , with a view to the long - term economic and environmental impact that hosting the Olympics will have on the region . Doping ( edit ) In 1967 the IOC began enacting drug testing protocols . They started by randomly testing athletes at the 1968 Winter Olympics . The first Winter Games athlete to test positive for a banned substance was Alois Schloder , a West German hockey player , but his team was still allowed to compete . During the 1970s testing outside of competition was escalated because it was found to deter athletes from using performance - enhancing drugs . The problem with testing during this time was a lack of standardisation of the test procedures , which undermined the credibility of the tests . It was not until the late 1980s that international sporting federations began to coordinate efforts to standardise the drug - testing protocols . The IOC took the lead in the fight against steroids when it established the independent World Anti-Doping Agency ( WADA ) in November 1999 . The 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin became notable for a scandal involving the emerging trend of blood doping , the use of blood transfusions or synthetic hormones such as Erythropoietin ( EPO ) to improve oxygen flow and thus reduce fatigue . The Italian police conducted a raid on the Austrian cross-country ski team 's residence during the Games where they seized blood - doping specimens and equipment . This event followed the pre-Olympics suspension of 12 cross-country skiers who tested positive for unusually high levels of haemoglobin , which is evidence of blood doping . The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi 's Russian Doping Scandal has resulted in the International Olympic Committee to begin disciplinary proceedings against 28 ( later increased to 46 ) Russian athletes who competed at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi , Russia , acting on evidence that their urine samples were tampered with . Politics ( edit ) Cold War ( edit ) A postage stamp issued by East Germany in 1968 in commemoration of their first Winter Olympics as an independent country The Winter Olympics have been an ideological front in the Cold War since the Soviet Union first participated at the 1956 Winter Games . It did not take long for the Cold War combatants to discover what a powerful propaganda tool the Olympic Games could be . The advent of the state - sponsored `` full - time amateur athlete '' of the Eastern Bloc countries further eroded the ideology of the pure amateur , as it put the self - financed amateurs of the Western countries at a disadvantage . The Soviet Union entered teams of athletes who were all nominally students , soldiers , or working in a profession , but many of whom were in reality paid by the state to train on a full - time basis . Nevertheless , the IOC held to the traditional rules regarding amateurism until the ' 90s . The Cold War created tensions amongst countries allied to the two superpowers . The strained relationship between East and West Germany created a difficult political situation for the IOC . Because of its role in World War II , Germany was not allowed to compete at the 1948 Winter Olympics . In 1950 the IOC recognised the West German Olympic Committee , and invited East and West Germany to compete as a unified team at the 1952 Winter Games . East Germany declined the invitation and instead sought international legitimacy separate from West Germany . In 1955 the Soviet Union recognised East Germany as a sovereign state , thereby giving more credibility to East Germany 's campaign to become an independent participant at the Olympics . The IOC agreed to provisionally accept the East German National Olympic Committee with the condition that East and West Germans compete on one team . The situation became tenuous when the Berlin Wall was constructed in 1962 and western nations began refusing visas to East German athletes . The uneasy compromise of a unified team held until the 1968 Grenoble Games when the IOC officially split the teams and threatened to reject the host - city bids of any country that refused entry visas to East German athletes . Boycott ( edit ) The Winter Games have had only one national team boycott when Taiwan decided not to participate in the 1980 Winter Olympics held in Lake Placid . Prior to the Games the IOC agreed to allow China to compete in the Olympics for the first time since 1952 . China was given permission to compete as the `` People 's Republic of China '' ( PRC ) and to use the PRC flag and anthem . Until 1980 the island of Taiwan had been competing under the name `` Republic of China '' ( ROC ) and had been using the ROC flag and anthem . The IOC attempted to have the countries compete together but when this proved to be unacceptable the IOC demanded that Taiwan cease to call itself the `` Republic of China '' . The IOC renamed the island `` Chinese Taipei '' and demanded that it adopt a different flag and national anthem , stipulations that Taiwan would not agree to . Despite numerous appeals and court hearings the IOC 's decision stood . When the Taiwanese athletes arrived at the Olympic village with their Republic of China identification cards they were not admitted . They subsequently left the Olympics in protest , just before the opening ceremonies . Taiwan returned to Olympic competition at the 1984 Winter Games in Sarajevo as Chinese Taipei . The country agreed to compete under a flag bearing the emblem of their National Olympic Committee and to play the anthem of their National Olympic Committee should one of their athletes win a gold medal . The agreement remains in place to this day . Sports ( edit ) The Olympic Charter limits winter sports to `` those ... which are practised on snow or ice . '' Since 1992 a number of new sports have been added to the Olympic programme ; which include short track speed skating , snowboarding , freestyle and moguls skiing . The addition of these events has broadened the appeal of the Winter Olympics beyond Europe and North America . While European powers such as Norway and Germany still dominate the traditional Winter Olympic sports , countries such as South Korea , Australia and Canada are finding success in the new sports . The results are : more parity in the national medal tables ; more interest in the Winter Olympics ; and higher global television ratings .

The IOC 's website now treats Men 's Military Patrol at the 1924 Games as an event within the sport of Biathlon . Demonstration events ( edit ) Demonstration sports have historically provided a venue for host countries to attract publicity to locally popular sports by having a competition without granting medals . Demonstration sports were discontinued after 1992 . Military patrol , a precursor to the biathlon , was a medal sport in 1924 and was demonstrated in 1928 , 1936 and 1948 , becoming an official sport in 1960 . The special figures figure skating event was only contested at the 1908 Summer Olympics . Bandy ( Russian hockey ) is a sport popular in the Nordic countries and Russia . In the latter it 's considered a national sport . It was demonstrated at the Oslo Games . Ice stock sport , a German variant of curling , was demonstrated in 1936 in Germany and 1964 in Austria . The ski ballet event , later known as ski - acro , was demonstrated in 1988 and 1992 . Skijöring , skiing behind dogs , was a demonstration sport in St. Moritz in 1928 . A sled - dog race was held at Lake Placid in 1932 . Speed skiing was demonstrated in Albertville at the 1992 Winter Olympics . Winter pentathlon , a variant of the modern pentathlon , was included as a demonstration event at the 1948 Games in Switzerland . It included cross-country skiing , shooting , downhill skiing , fencing and horse riding .

when did the us last host the winter olympics
[ "The Winter Olympics has been hosted on three continents by twelve different countries. The Games have been held four times in the United States (in 1932, 1960, 1980 and 2002); three times in France (in 1924, 1968 and 1992); and twice each in Austria (1964, 1976), Canada (1988, 2010), Japan (1972, 1998), Italy (1956, 2006), Norway (1952, 1994), and Switzerland (1928, 1948). Also, the Games have been held just once each in Germany (1936), Yugoslavia (1984), Russia (2014) and South Korea (2018). The IOC has selected Beijing, China, to host the 2022 Winter Olympics and the host of the 2026 Winter Olympics will be selected in September 2019. As of 2018[update], no city in the southern hemisphere has applied to host the cold-weather-dependent Winter Olympics, which are held in February at the height of the southern hemisphere summer.\n" ]

After David is brought to him , Gurdlinger forces David to smuggle a `` smidge '' of marijuana from Mexico as a solution to clear his debt . Realizing that one man attempting to get through customs is too suspicious , he hires his stripper neighbor stage - named Rose , a teenage runaway and petty thief named Casey , and his eighteen - year - old neighbor Kenny , to pose as a bogus family called `` the Millers . '' When the Millers reach the compound , they find out that the amount of marijuana they were picking up is not `` a smidge '' but actually two tons . Because of the extra load of the marijuana on the RV that they are driving , one of the radiator hoses breaks while going up a steep incline . A family they had met at the border , the Fitzgeralds , consisting of Don , Edith , and their teenage daughter Melissa , catch up to them and tow the Millers ' RV to a garage . En route to the garage , David learns that Don Fitzgerald is a DEA agent after finding his badge and gun in the glove compartment . The marijuana turns out to be stolen from Pablo Chacón 's cartel where Gurdlinger had David pose as an agent of Chacon . The next day , when the Millers return to the garage to collect the RV , the mechanic is found tied - up and gagged with duct tape in his office and Chacón and his henchman One - Eye are waiting for them and prepare to execute the family . They immediately tell Chacón that they are not a real family and that they did not know they were stealing from him . Rose is given a chance to prove that she is a stripper by dancing , and when she gets close , turns a steam vent onto Chacón , allowing the Millers to escape in the RV with Kenny behind the wheel . Due to Kenny 's erratic driving , the RV veers off the highway and a Mexican redknee tarantula , hiding in a bowl of fruit , crawls up Kenny 's leg and bites his testicle . Kenny has a severe allergic reaction to the bite , and the Millers head to the hospital near a carnival for 4th of July celebrations . This further delays the delivery of the smuggled contraband . During their wait , David and Rose begin to bond and Rose reveals her real name to be Sarah ( `` with an H '' ) . The two of them scold Casey for leaving with a strange boy , Scotty P ; which leaves Casey feeling amused and happy for the attention she did n't receive from her real parents , who neglected her . David renegotiates with Gurdlinger for a fee of $500,000 on the condition that it arrives that night . When Kenny is finally released from the hospital , David rushes him to the RV in a wheelchair and accidentally tips him over . In the ensuing argument , David inadvertently reveals how much he is getting paid , in comparison to how little he offered to pay each of the others . Casey , Sarah , and Kenny are left in disgust by the revelation , and so David leaves them behind at the local carnival . Shortly after leaving , David regrets abandoning them after hearing `` Waterfalls '' by TLC on the radio and returns to the carnival . Casey confides in Scotty about how she felt like she was actually part of a real family . Scotty tries to sexually harass Casey , but is thwarted by Sarah and Kenny . David then arrives at the carnival , begging them to come back with him and offering each a full share of the profits . On their way to the RV , they encounter Edith and Melissa . In the ensuing conversation between the Millers and the Fitzgeralds , Kenny blurts out that they are smuggling cannabis . One - Eye appears and is about to shoot everyone , but Don comes out of his motor home and knocks him out cold . Chacón then appears from around the corner , with Melissa held at gunpoint and is about to kill them all ; but is momentarily distracted by 4th of July firework display . David and Kenny then subdue him while he is distracted . Melissa and Kenny ( with a newfound confidence ) kiss , as do David and Sarah . Don arrests Chacón , but lets the Millers leave . David delivers the drugs to Gurdlinger , who tells him he is late and that their deal is off , but then admits that he had never intended to pay him at all . DEA agents interrupt the meeting , arresting Gurdlinger , revealing that David grassed them up . Don , the agent in charge of the raid , tells David that he will have to be placed in the witness protection program until the trials of Gurdlinger and Chacón are finished . He then adds that anyone who was a witness to the crime will be put into protection , which pleases David . The Millers are then seen together in a suburban house with several marijuana plants growing in the back garden .

Blue Wizards
Blue Wizards - wikipedia Blue Wizards 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 . ( July 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Alatar and Pallando Tolkien 's legendarium character Aliases Morinehtar and Rómestámo , Ithryn Luin Race Maiar Book ( s ) Unfinished Tales ( 1980 ) The Peoples of Middle - earth ( 1996 ) The Blue Wizards are fictional characters in J.R.R. Tolkien 's legendarium . They are two of the five Wizards ( or Istari ) sent by the Valar to Middle - earth to aid in the struggle against Sauron . They are called the Blue Wizards on account of their sea - blue robes ( each of the other Istari had robes of a different color ) , and their individual names are given in the Unfinished Tales as Alatar and Pallando . They were both sent to the distant east of Middle - earth , and therefore played no role in the events of the west of Middle - earth , as described in The Lord of the Rings . Consequently , little is known about them . Contents ( hide ) 1 Names 2 Role 3 References 4 External links Names ( edit ) It is not clear from which of Tolkien 's invented languages the names Alatar and Pallando are derived . A possible translation from Quenya for Alatar is after - comer and could be a reference to his being selected as the second Wizard , after Curunír ( Saruman ) . Alatar could also mean `` Noble , great one '' . Pallando can be translated from Quenya as far one from palan , meaning far or distant . An alternate set of names in Quenya for both wizards is given in the 1996 The Peoples of Middle - earth as Morinehtar ( `` Darkness - slayer '' ) and Rómestámo ( `` East - helper '' ) . Like most names in Tolkien 's works , these names are significant . Here , Rómestámo coming from the Quenya word rómen , meaning uprising , sunrise , east , incorporates not only his relation to the East of Middle - earth , but also his mission there to encourage uprising and rebellion against Sauron . Tolkien does not make it clear which alternative name belongs to which wizard , however . In The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game , the Blue Wizards are instead named as `` Naurandir '' and `` Sûlrandir '' . Games Workshop , which created the game , does not have rights to any books other than The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit , but was allowed to invent their own material to cover such areas . Role ( edit ) The only reference to the Blue Wizards in The Lord of the Rings is Saruman 's accusation that Gandalf wants to take the staves of all five wizards for himself . However , other Tolkien writings have more to say . In Unfinished Tales the tale of the five 's choosing is told : `` Manwë summoned the Valar for a council ( - maybe he had asked Eru for counsel - ) at which it was resolved to send out three emissaries to Middle - earth and he asked who would go . They would have to lose might and clothe themselves in flesh to win the trust of Elves and Men but this would also imperil them , diminish their wisdom and knowledge and bring upon them fear , the care and weariness of the flesh . Only two came forward ; Curumo ( Saruman ) and Alatar . Curumo was chosen by Aulë among `` his '' Maiar , and Alatar was sent by Oromë . Manwë asked where Olórin ( Gandalf ) was , and Olórin , just returning from a journey and coming to the meeting , asked what he wanted from him . Manwë said that he wished him to go as the third to Middle - earth . Olórin answered that he thought himself too weak for such a task , and added that he feared Sauron . Then Manwë said that that was all the more reason why he should go , and he commanded him to go as the third . There Varda broke in and said `` Not as the third , '' and Curumo remembered that . '' The tale ends with the statement that Curunír was obliged to take Aiwendil ( Radagast ) with him to please Yavanna , Aulë 's wife , and that Alatar took Pallando as a friend . So Alatar was the second wizard to be chosen , at the suggestion of the Vala Oromë who had the most knowledge of the eastern lands . Pallando was then chosen by Alatar to accompany him as a friend . In an earlier draft Tolkien had associated Pallando with the Valar Mandos and Nienna , but he then changed this to also associate Pallando with Oromë . In a letter written at the same time Tolkien also wrote about their role : `` I think that they went as emissaries to distant regions , east and south , ... Missionaries to enemy occupied lands as it were . What success they had I do not know ; but I fear that they failed , as Saruman did , though doubtless in different ways ; and I suspect they were founders or beginners of secret cults and `` magic '' traditions that outlasted the fall of Sauron . '' However , some of these changed in a text written in the last year or two of Tolkien 's life ( published in The Peoples of Middle - earth of 1996 ) . They are said to have arrived not in the Third Age , but in the Second , around the year 1600 , the time of the forging of the One Ring . Their mission was to travel to the east and weaken the forces of Sauron . And it is here said that the Wizards far from failed ; rather , they had a pivotal role in the victories of the West at the end of both the Second and the Third Ages . At the same time , Tolkien considered the possibility that Glorfindel arrived back in Middle - earth along with the Blue Wizards . On this later , more positive interpretation , the Blue Wizards may have been as successful as Gandalf , just located in a different theatre beyond the borders of the map in The Lord of the Rings . In the 2012 film The Hobbit : An Unexpected Journey Gandalf refers to `` the two Blue Wizards '' , but then remarks that he has forgotten their names . According to Peter Jackson in the director 's commentary to the extended edition the film makers lacked the rights to Unfinished Tales , The Silmarillion and the History of Middle - earth series and as such they could not legally name them . In the 2014 game Middle - earth : Shadow of Mordor , three artifacts describe the encounter of two wizards whose names could n't be remembered travelling side by side into Mordor . These may have been the Blue Wizards . Furthermore , a figurine depicting them has been carved out of azurite , a blue stone . More lore tells the player that the Black Hand could have been a king that brought Sauron the heads of 2 Istari . Whether or not this is true is unknown .

John Deere Classic
John Deere Classic - wikipedia John Deere Classic John Deere Classic Tournament information Location Silvis , Illinois , U.S. Established 1971 Course ( s ) TPC Deere Run Par 71 Length 7,257 yards ( 6,636 m ) Tour ( s ) PGA Tour Format Stroke play Prize fund $ 5.8 million Month played July Tournament record score Aggregate 257 Michael Kim ( 2018 ) To par − 27 as above Current champion Michael Kim TPC Deere Run Location in the United States TPC Deere Run Location in Illinois The John Deere Classic is a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour . It is played annually in July , the week before the British Open , at TPC Deere Run in the Quad Cities community of Silvis , Illinois . The tournament began as the Quad Cities Open in 1971 and was a `` satellite event '' on the PGA Tour . It became an official tour event in 1972 . Ed McMahon served as tournament host from 1975 to 1979 . Title sponsors have included Miller Brewing Company ( 1982 -- 85 ) , Hardee 's ( 1986 -- 94 ) and John Deere ( since 1999 ) . From the event 's inception in 1971 through 1974 , it was played at Crow Valley Country Club in Davenport , Iowa . It then moved to Oakwood Country Club in Coal Valley , Illinois from 1975 to 1999 . Beginning in 2000 , the event has been at the TPC at Deere Run in Silvis . In 2005 and 2006 , the tournament generated more media coverage because of the sponsor 's exemptions given to teenager Michelle Wie . In 2005 , the tournament 's storyline also revolved around Sean O'Hair , whose win qualified him to play in The Open the following week and was a significant part of his PGA Tour Rookie of the Year season . The 2013 edition saw Jordan Spieth , two weeks shy of his 20th birthday , become the first teenager to win on the PGA Tour since 1931 . In order to help attract players who will compete in the following week 's British Open , since 2008 the John Deere Classic has sponsored a charter flight that leaves the Quad Cities on Sunday night and arrives in Britain the next morning . Since the introduction of the Open Qualifying Series , the John Deere Classic is a final chance for a player not already exempt to earn entry into The Open if he finished in the top five . Contents 1 Sponsor 's exemptions for Michelle Wie 2 Winners 3 Multiple winners 4 References 5 External links Sponsor 's exemptions for Michelle Wie ( edit ) Michelle Wie first received a sponsor 's exemption to play in the John Deere Classic in 2005 , part of her effort to make the cut in a men 's professional golf event . The tournament attracted thousands of visitors as fans flocked to see the 15 - year - old Wie play . She posted a 70 ( − 1 ) in the first round and was four - under for the tournament after 32 holes , but then had a double bogey and bogey on successive holes . Wie finished with two pars to shoot 141 ( − 1 ) and missed the cut by two strokes . Wie received a sponsor 's exemption again in 2006 ; it was her first men 's event with a cut since making the cut in a men 's tournament for the first time earlier that year in Korea . She finished the first round at 77 ( + 6 ) , well behind the projected cut line of − 2 . In the moderate afternoon heat ( 88 ° F ( 31 ° C ) ) of the second day , she fell two strokes further behind after a double bogey at the 9th hole and withdrew from the tournament , citing heat exhaustion . After receiving treatment at the course medical trailer , Wie departed in an ambulance , as required by state law .

Metrication in Canada
Metrication in Canada - wikipedia Metrication in Canada Jump to : navigation , search The metrication logo used in Canada during the 1970s and 1980s . Metrication in Canada began in 1970 and while Canada has converted to the metric system for many purposes , there is still significant use of non-metric units and standards in many sectors of the Canadian economy . This is mainly due to historical ties with the United Kingdom ( before metrication ) , the traditional use of the imperial system of measurement in Canada , proximity to the United States , and to public opposition to metrication during the transition period . Contents ( hide ) 1 Before conversion 2 Conversion process 2.1 Changeover 2.2 Metrication stalled 3 Common usage today 3.1 Daily usage 3.2 Experience 3.3 Temperature 3.4 Products and retail 3.5 Commercial usage 3.6 Agriculture 3.7 Health care 3.8 Engineering 3.9 Trades 3.10 Firearms 3.11 Print 3.12 Air transportation 4 Education regarding the imperial system 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Before conversion ( edit ) Main article : Imperial units Until the 1970s , Canada traditionally used the Imperial measurement system , labelled as `` Canadian units of measurements '' under Schedule II , Section 4 of the Weights and Measures Act ( R.S. , 1985 , c . W - 6 ) . These units have the same name and , with the exception of capacity measures such as the gallon , the same values as US customary units . For example , before metrication in Canada , gasoline was sold by the imperial gallon ( about 4.55 litres ) . In cross-border transactions , it was often unclear whether values quoted in gallons , etc. were referring to the US values ( 3.79 litres ) or the imperial values of these units . Conversion process ( edit ) The Liberal federal government of Pierre Trudeau first began implementing metrication in Canada in 1970 with a government agency dedicated to implementing the project , the Metric Commission , being established in 1971 . By the mid-1970s , metric product labelling was introduced . In 1972 , the provinces agreed to make all road signs metric by 1977 . There was some resistance to metrication , especially as the sectors of the economy where the federal Weights and Measures Act required metric to be used grew in number . The metrication of gasoline and diesel fuel sales in 1979 prompted 37 Progressive Conservative Members of Parliament to open a `` freedom to measure '' gas station in Carleton Place , Ontario , selling gas in both imperial gallons and litres . The city of Peterborough , Ontario , was a noted hotbed of opposition to metrication , having been one of the government 's three test centres for the metrication process . Bill Domm , a Member of Parliament representing the riding of Peterborough , was one of the country 's most outspoken opponents of metrication . During this period , a few government employees lost their jobs for their opposition to metrication . Neil Fraser , an official with Revenue Canada who publicly opposed mandatory metric conversion , was dismissed for `` conduct unacceptable for a public servant . '' Changeover ( edit ) A long - ago metricated speed - limit sign in Bolton , Ontario , with the old `` 25 mph '' value now showing through the 40 km / h limit Since 1976 , the law requires that all prepackaged food products must declare their mass or their volume in metric units , though Canadian imperial units are still legally permitted on packaging . Milk has been thoroughly metric since 1980 . In April 1975 , Fahrenheit temperatures were replaced by Celsius . In September 1975 , rainfall was first measured in millimetres and snow in centimetres . Since April 1976 , wind speed , visibility , and barometric pressure have been in metric units , with the pressure in kilopascals instead of the hectopascals ( millibars ) used in most of the rest of the world . In September 1977 , every speed - limit sign in the country was changed from miles per hour to kilometres per hour . Metrication stalled ( edit ) The election of the Progressive Conservative government of Brian Mulroney in 1984 resulted in the abolition of the Metric Commission on March 31 , 1985 . This ended the process of affirmative metrication in Canada , and some regulations requiring metric measurements either have been repealed or are no longer enforced . Training on metric conversion was not universal . Poor metrication training was a contributing factor to Air Canada Flight 143 , the so - called Gimli Glider , running out of fuel mid-flight on 23 July 1983 . Notwithstanding the end of officially sanctioned metrication in Canada , most laws , regulations , and official forms exclusively use metric measurements . However , imperial measures still have legal definitions in Canada and can be used alongside metric units . Common usage today ( edit ) Daily usage ( edit ) Canadians typically discuss the weather in degrees Celsius , purchase gasoline in litres , observe speed limits set in kilometres per hour ( km / h ) , and read road signs and maps displaying distances in kilometres . Cars have metric speedometers and odometers , although some speedometers include smaller figures in miles per hour ( mph ) . Fuel efficiency for new vehicles is published by Natural Resources Canada in litres per 100 kilometres , ( not kilometres per litre as a direct equivalent of miles per gallon ) and miles per gallon . Window stickers in dealer showrooms often include `` miles per gallon '' conversions . The railways of Canada continue to measure their trackage in miles , and speed limits in mph . ( In part this can be attributed to both CP and CN operating into the US and having bought US railroads ) . Canadian railcars show weight figures in both imperial and metric . Today , Canadians typically use a mix of metric and imperial measurements in their daily lives . However the use of the metric and imperial systems varies according to generations . Newborns are measured in metric at hospitals , but the birth weight and length is also announced to family and friends in imperial units . Among the broader population , imperial units are sometimes informally used to indicate height and weight , especially by those of older generations . However , Canadian driver 's licences give height in centimetres . In addition , Fahrenheit is often used for cooking , as are imperial cooking measurements , due to the import of kitchen appliances from the United States . It should also be noted that in the cupboards of many Canadians , are cookbooks which still reference the imperial system in temperature , volume and weight . However , most appliances in Canada are labelled with degrees Celsius or are convertible , and metric cooking measures are widely available ; imperial temperatures are also occasionally used outside of the kitchen , such as when measuring the water temperature in a pool . Stationery and photographic prints are also sold in sizes based on inches and the most popular paper sizes , letter and legal , are sized in imperial units . Canadian Football League games continue to be played on fields measured in yards ; golfers also expect courses to be measured in yards . However newer generations are moving away from the imperial system . Experience ( edit ) The use of metric or imperial measurements varies by age and region . Canadians who have received only metric instruction in school ( from the early 1970s ) are more familiar with metric measurements . However metrication in the Francophone province of Quebec has been more fully implemented and metric measures are more consistently used than elsewhere in Canada . The use of imperial units is more common in rural areas than in the rest of the country , where opposition to metrication was strongest , rather than in urban areas . Canadians are exposed to both metric and imperial units , and it is not unusual for there to be references to both metres and feet , acres and hectares , or grams and ounces , in the same conversation . Temperature ( edit ) Despite the exclusive use of degrees Celsius in weather reports , some older Canadians still use Fahrenheit . Most outdoor thermometers display temperatures in both Fahrenheit and Celsius . Additionally , outdoor signs usually display Celsius with occasional references to Fahrenheit . Inside newer buildings , digital and analog thermostats display temperature settings in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit . Environment Canada still offers an imperial unit option beside metric units . Products and retail ( edit ) Many food and retail products are sold according to metric units , though this is not always the case . The price of a piece of meat , for example a steak , is typically advertised per pound , but the price printed on the package is per kilogram ; the latter is calculated . The prices of fruits and vegetables are usually advertised in pounds , although the price per kilogram is also displayed , usually in smaller type . More expensive items such as deli , meats , and fish are often advertised per 100 grams . Many , but not all , products are sold in imperial sizes , but labelled in metric units . An example of this is butter , which is sold in a 454 gram package ( and labelled as such ) , even though it represents one pound ( and in many cases is also labelled with the imperial unit ) . This is known as `` soft metric '' ( as opposed to a `` hard metric '' system , where packages and measures are generally sold in `` round numbers '' ; in a hard metric system , butter might come in a 500 g package ) . In restaurants , wine is usually served by the litre , 750 mL ( 26 - imperial - fluid - ounce ; 25 - US - fluid - ounce ) or 500 mL ( 18 - imperial - fluid - ounce ; 17 - US - fluid - ounce ) bottle , but a wine glass is measured in ounces . Similarly , fast food restaurants ( e.g. McDonald 's Quarter Pounder ) often advertise measurements of food and drink in US customary units , but converted to metric units , because either the containers are made to US standards , or the franchise is US - based and uses a standard size for its products . Thus in Canada a 20 US fluid ounce bottled soft drink is labelled as 591 mL ( or occasionally rounded up to 600 mL ) . Beer in bottles continues to be 12 imperial fluid ounces ( labelled as 341 mL ) , but beer in cans is filled to 12 US fluid ounces ( labelled as 355 mL ) . There is also a larger sized beer bottle which is labelled as containing 1.18 L ( 42 imperial fluid ounces ; 40 US fluid ounces ) . Some of these package sizes have been introduced since Canadian metrication began ; for example , the traditional Canadian soft drink can was 10 imperial fluid ounces ( 284 mL ) , later marketed as 280 mL . Only in the early 1990s did the US - derived 355 mL size displace it . Television sets and computer screens are also measured in inches . Standard and special fasteners like alloys , nuts , bolts , washers , studs , tapping , self drilling screw and socket screware are often quoted in both imperial and metric ; products range from ⁄ in ( 0.91 mm ) diameter up to 4 in ( 100 mm ) . Commercial usage ( edit ) Supermarkets will often advertise foods such as meats and produce `` per pound '' , and small businesses are exempt from having metric scales and legally sell by the pound . While most supermarket scales display both metric and imperial units , products advertised by the pound in a supermarket flyer are invariably sold to the customer ( at the point of sale ) based on a price `` per 100 grams '' or `` per kilogram '' . Construction materials , including construction lumber and drywall , continue to be sold in imperial measurements ; retrofitting metric - sized ( designed for 400 mm centres ) wallboard on old 16 in ( 410 mm ) spaced studs is difficult . In English - speaking Canada commercial and residential spaces are mostly ( but not exclusively ) constructed using imperial units and advertised accordingly , while in French - speaking Quebec commercial and residential spaces are constructed in metres and advertised using both metric and imperial units as equivalents . However , the zoning by - laws and building codes that govern construction are in metric , although most building codes will also contain imperial equivalents . In addition , rural areas in Western Canada ( Canadian Prairies ) were mapped and segmented using the Dominion Land Survey . This based most rural roads on a mile measurement which when viewed from the air has the appearance of a checkerboard or grid . Because of this standard now etched into the landscape , it is still common to refer to distance in miles , since counting the number of mile roads is easy . In contrast , in much of southern Ontario the basic survey grid was based on a mile - and - a-quarter ( 1.25 mi ) , which corresponds almost exactly to a 2 kilometre grid and which makes miles no more natural than kilometres . It should be noted that 1.25 mi is equal to 100 chains ( or 10 furlongs ) and it was that sized grid that was used in the original surveys and thus would have been more familiar . Free trade with the United States has resulted in continued exposure to the US system . Since the United States is Canada 's largest trading partner and vice versa , Canadian exporters and importers must be accustomed to dealing in US customary units as well as metric . Agriculture ( edit ) Canada uses an Avery or imperial bushel ( 36.369 litres ) when selling oats , wheat , and other grains . When dealing with the US oat markets though , special attention must be paid to the definition of bushel weight because US uses a Winchester bushel ( 35.239 litres ) . In livestock auction markets , cattle are sold in dollars per hundredweight ( short ) , whereas hogs are sold in dollars per hundred kilograms . Health care ( edit ) In the health care system , metric units are often given precedence , although actual metric units may still be different than the United States ( for example , for measurements of blood cholesterol , the units are millimole per litre , whereas they are milligram per decilitre in the United States ) . Most physicians chart patient height and weight in imperial units , and while most growth charts display both systems of measurement , the majority of hospitals officially document such parameters in metric . Dieticians still use kilocalories , and doctors use millimetres of mercury . While these units are metric derivatives , they are not metric units . Engineering ( edit ) Because most fasteners , machine parts , pumps , piping , and all building materials are sold in imperial or US customary units , many mechanical and civil engineers in Canada mainly use imperial units for these items . Overall building dimensions for new construction are usually in SI units. . On the other hand , many chemical , nuclear and electrical engineers and engineering physicists employ metric units . As in the United States , Canadian engineers are educated in both systems and are keenly aware of the differences between the imperial , metric and US customary systems . Trades ( edit ) Trades associated with machine work , such as machinists , automotive , and heavy duty technicians , frequently use both metric and imperial . Machines made in Canada often incorporate parts from other countries and thus the finished product may have both metric and imperial parts . Farm and industrial equipment manufactured in Canada will most often use inch system fasteners and structural steel , but fluid capacities are always listed in metric . Building trades such as plumbing and carpentry often use imperial units . Rough timber , drywall , plywood , fasteners , pipes , and tubing are all sold in imperial units . Nails in hardware stores are measured in inches but sold in metric weight packages . Electricians in every country use metric units such as volts and amperes , but motors and engines are still quoted in horsepower . Electric car motors are rated in kilowatts . However , Canada uses , among other things , the US American wire gauge standard instead of the square millimetre ( mm ) used in the IEC 60228 standard of the International Electrotechnical Commission . Conduit sizes are in inch diameters , although some manufacturers include the metric size printed on the conduits ( for example , ⁄ in ( 13 mm ) , ⁄ in ( 16 mm ) , ⁄ in ( 19 mm ) . Firearms ( edit ) Imperial units also remain in common use in firearms and ammunition . Imperial measures are still used in the description of cartridge types , even when the cartridge is of relatively recent invention ( e.g. . 204 Ruger , . 17 HMR , where the calibre is expressed in decimal fractions of an inch ) . However , ammunition which is classified in metric already is still kept metric ( e.g. 9 mm , 7.62 mm ) . In the manufacture of ammunition , bullet and powder weights are expressed in terms of grains for both metric and imperial cartridges . Print ( edit ) Canada uses the inch - based paper standard e.g. the US Letter , rather than the metric - based A4 paper size used throughout most of the world . The government , however , uses a combination of ISO paper sizes , and CAN 2 - 9.60 M `` Paper Sizes for Correspondence '' specifies P1 through P6 paper sizes , which are the US paper sizes rounded to the nearest 5 mm . Air transportation ( edit ) Luggage restrictions and limits at Canadian airports are in metric values with soft imperial conversion values . Runway lengths are given in feet and speed in knots as in the US . Like a number of metric countries altitude is given in feet . Fuel is nowadays measured in metric units . The Gimli Glider incident in July 1983 is a famous case of a kilogram - pound mistake , in which the miscalculation of the amount of fuel in an Air Canada airplane with a malfunctioning fuel gauge caused the plane to run out of fuel mid-flight . Education regarding the imperial system ( edit ) In 2005 , the Ontario government announced changes to the secondary - school mathematics curriculum that would allow imperial units to be taught along with metric units . This marked a departure from previous governments ' efforts to make sure that the curriculum used only the metric system . This was done in light of the refusal or reluctance of much of the private sector to metricate ; thus students had been leaving school unprepared for the units used in the workplace . Many other provinces and territories also include the imperial system of measurements as part of their educational curriculum .

[ "Metrication in Canada began in 1970 and while Canada has converted to the metric system for many purposes, there is still significant use of non-metric units and standards in many sectors of the Canadian economy. This is mainly due to historical ties with the United Kingdom (before metrication), the traditional use of the imperial system of measurement in Canada, proximity to the United States, and to public opposition to metrication during the transition period.[1][2]" ]

Unable to reach any airport , pilots Chesley Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles glided the plane to a ditching in the Hudson River off Midtown Manhattan . All 155 people aboard were rescued by nearby boats and there were few serious injuries . The accident came to be known as the `` Miracle on the Hudson '' , and a National Transportation Safety Board official described it as `` the most successful ditching in aviation history . '' The Board rejected the notion that the pilot could have avoided ditching by returning to LaGuardia or diverting to nearby Teterboro Airport . The pilots and flight attendants were awarded the Master 's Medal of the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators in recognition of their `` heroic and unique aviation achievement '' .

The aircraft was an Airbus A320 - 214 powered by two GE Aviation / Snecma - designed CFM56 - 5B4 / P turbofan engines . The pilot in command was 57 - year - old Chesley B. `` Sully '' Sullenberger , a former fighter pilot who had been an airline pilot since leaving the United States Air Force in 1980 . At the time , he had logged 19,663 total flight hours , including 4,765 in an A320 ; he was also a glider pilot and expert on aviation safety . First officer Jeffrey B. Skiles , 49 , had accrued 15,643 career flight hours , but this was his first Airbus A320 assignment since qualifying to fly it . There were 150 passengers and three flight attendants aboard . Accident ( edit ) Takeoff and bird strike ( edit ) LaGuardia Runway 4 departure . New York TRACON audio Air traffic control audio from about time of bird strike until ditching ( 3 : 10 long ) Problems playing this file ? See media help . The flight was cleared for takeoff to the northeast from LaGuardia 's Runway 4 at 3 : 24 : 56 pm Eastern Standard Time ( 20 : 24 : 56 UTC ) . With Skiles in control , the crew made its first report after becoming airborne at 3 : 25 : 51 as being at 700 feet ( 210 m ) and climbing . The weather at 2 : 51 p.m. was 10 miles visibility with broken clouds at 3,700 feet , wind 8 knots from 290 ° ; an hour later it was few clouds at 4,200 feet , wind 9 knots from 310 ° . At 3 : 26 : 37 Sullenberger remarked to Skiles : `` What a view of the Hudson today . '' Flight path flown ( red ) . Alternative trajectories to Teterboro ( blue ) and back toward La Guardia ( purple ) were simulated for the investigation . At 3 : 27 : 11 the plane struck a flock of Canada geese at an altitude of 2,818 feet ( 859 m ) about 4.5 miles ( 7.2 km ) north - northwest of LaGuardia . The pilots ' view was filled with the large birds ; passengers and crew heard very loud bangs and saw flames from the engines , followed by silence and an odor of fuel . Realizing that both engines had shut down , Sullenberger took control while Skiles worked the checklist for engine restart . The aircraft slowed but continued to climb for a further nineteen seconds , reaching about 3,060 feet ( 930 m ) at an airspeed of about 185 knots ( 343 km / h ; 213 mph ) , then began a glide descent , accelerating to 210 knots ( 390 km / h ; 240 mph ) at 3 : 28 : 10 as it descended through 1,650 feet ( 500 m ) . At 3 : 27 : 33 , Sullenberger radioed a Mayday call to New York Terminal Radar Approach Control ( TRACON ) : `` ... this is Cactus 1539 ( sic -- correct call sign was Cactus 1549 ) , hit birds . We 've lost thrust on both engines . We 're turning back towards LaGuardia '' . Air traffic controller Patrick Harten told LaGuardia 's tower to hold all departures , and directed Sullenberger back to Runway 13 . Sullenberger responded , `` Unable '' . Sullenberger asked if they could attempt to land in New Jersey , mentioning Teterboro Airport ; controllers obtained permission for a landing on Teterboro 's Runway 1 . Sullenberger responded : `` We ca n't do it ... We 're gon na be in the Hudson '' . The aircraft passed less than 900 feet ( 270 m ) above the George Washington Bridge . Sullenberger commanded over the cabin address system , `` Brace for impact '' , and the flight attendants relayed the command to passengers . Meanwhile , air traffic controllers asked the Coast Guard to caution vessels in the Hudson and ask them to prepare to assist with rescue . Ditching and evacuation ( edit ) Play media Coast Guard video of crash and rescue . About ninety seconds later , at 3 : 31 pm , the plane made an unpowered ditching , descending southwards at about 125 knots ( 140 mph ; 230 km / h ) into the middle of the North River section of the Hudson tidal estuary , at 40 ° 46 ′ 10 '' N 74 ° 00 ′ 17 '' W  /  40.7695 ° N 74.0046 ° W  / 40.7695 ; - 74.0046 roughly opposite West 50th Street ( near the Intrepid Sea , Air & Space Museum ) in Manhattan and Port Imperial in Weehawken , New Jersey . Flight attendants compared the ditching to a `` hard landing '' with `` one impact , no bounce , then a gradual deceleration . '' The ebb tide then began to take the plane southward . Sullenberger opened the cockpit door and ordered evacuation . The crew began evacuating the passengers through the four overwing window exits and into an inflatable slide / raft deployed from the front right passenger door ( the front left slide failed to operate , so the manual inflation handle was pulled ) . A panicked passenger opened a rear door , which a flight attendant was unable to reseal . Water was also entering a hole in the fuselage and through cargo doors that had come open , so as the water rose the attendant urged passengers to move forward by climbing over seats . One passenger was in a wheelchair . Finally , Sullenberger walked the cabin twice to confirm it was empty . Play media Video beginning 20 minutes after ditching , with numerous ferries and rescue boats surrounding the aircraft . The air and water temperatures were about 19 ° F ( − 7 ° C ) and 41 ° F ( 5 ° C ) respectively . Some evacuees waited for rescue knee - deep in water on the partially submerged slides , some wearing life - vests . Others stood on the wings or , fearing an explosion , swam away from the plane . One passenger , after helping with the evacuation , found the wing so crowded that he jumped into the river and swam to a boat . Rescue ( edit ) Sullenberger had ditched near boats to facilitate rescue . NY Waterway ferries Thomas Jefferson and then Governor Thomas H. Kean both arrived within minutes and began taking people aboard using a Jason 's cradle . Sullenberger advised the ferry crews to rescue those on the wings first , as they were in more jeopardy than those on the slides , which detached to become life rafts . As the plane drifted , passengers on one slide , fearing that the boat would crush them , shouted for it to steer away . The last person was taken from the plane at 3 : 55 pm . About 140 New York City firefighters responded to nearby docks , as did police , helicopters , and various vessels and divers . Other agencies provided medical help on the Weehawken side of the river , where most passengers were taken . The half - sunken plane surrounded by boats . Aftermath ( edit ) The aircraft tied up alongside Battery Park City . There were five serious injuries , including a deep laceration in flight attendant Doreen Welsh 's leg . Seventy - eight people were treated , mostly for minor injuries and hypothermia , twenty - four passengers and two rescuers treated at hospitals , with two passengers kept overnight . One passenger now wears glasses because of jet fuel damaging his eyes . No pets were being carried on the flight . Each passenger later received a letter of apology , $5,000 in compensation for lost baggage ( and $5,000 more if they could demonstrate larger losses ) and refund of the ticket price . In May 2009 they received any belongings that had been recovered . In addition , they reported offers of $10,000 each in return for agreeing not to sue US Airways . Many passengers and rescuers later experienced post-traumatic stress symptoms such as sleeplessness , flashbacks , and panic attacks ; some began an email support group . Patrick Harten , the controller who had worked the flight , said that `` the hardest , most traumatic part of the entire event was when it was over '' , and that he was `` gripped by raw moments of shock and grief '' . In an effort to prevent similar accidents , officials captured and gassed 1,235 Canada geese at 17 locations across New York City in mid-2009 and coated 1,739 goose eggs with oil to smother the developing goslings . Investigation ( edit ) The plane being recovered from the river during the night of January 17 . The partially submerged plane was moored to a pier near the World Financial Center in Lower Manhattan , roughly 4 miles ( 6 km ) downstream from the ditching location . The left engine , detached by the ditching , was recovered from the riverbed . On January 17 the aircraft was barged to New Jersey . Feather found in left engine . The initial National Transportation Safety Board ( NTSB ) evaluation that the plane had lost thrust after a bird strike was confirmed by analysis of the cockpit voice and flight data recorders . It was soon reported that a few days earlier the plane had experienced a less severe compressor stall , and its passengers had been told an emergency landing might be required , but the affected engine was restarted . The NTSB later reported that a faulty temperature sensor had been the cause , and that the engine had not been damaged in that incident . On January 21 , the NTSB found evidence of soft - body damage in the right engine along with organic debris including a feather . The left engine also evidenced soft body impact , with : `` dents on both the spinner and inlet lip of the engine cowling . Five booster inlet guide vanes are fractured and eight outlet guide vanes are missing . '' Both engines , missing large portions of their housings , were sent to the manufacturer for examination . On January 31 , the plane was moved to Kearny , New Jersey . The bird remains were later identified by DNA testing to be Canada geese , which typically weigh more than engines are designed to withstand ingesting . Because the plane was assembled in France the European Aviation Safety Agency ( the European counterpart of the FAA ) and the Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la Sécurité de l'Aviation Civile ( the French counterpart of the NTSB ) joined the investigation , with technical assistance from Airbus Industrie and GE Aviation / Snecma , respectively the manufacturers of the airframe and the engines . The NTSB used flight simulators to test the possibility that the flight could have returned safely to LaGuardia or diverted to Teterboro ; only seven of the thirteen simulated returns to La Guardia succeeded , and only one of the two to Teterboro . Furthermore , the NTSB report called these simulations unrealistic : `` The immediate turn made by the pilots during the simulations did not reflect or account for real - world considerations . '' A further simulation , conducted with the pilot delayed by 35 seconds , crashed . In testimony before the NTSB , Sullenberger maintained that there had been no time to bring the plane to any airport , and that attempting to do so would likely have killed those onboard and more on the ground . The Board ultimately ruled that Sullenberger had made the correct decision , reasoning that the checklist for dual - engine failure is designed for higher altitudes , when pilots have more time to deal with the situation , and that while simulations showed that the plane might have just barely made it back to LaGuardia , those scenarios assumed an instant decision to do so , with no time allowed for assessing the situation . The NTSB concluded its investigation on May 4 , 2010 , identifying the probable cause as `` the ingestion of large birds into each engine , which resulted in an almost total loss of thrust in both engines . '' The final report credited the outcome to four factors : good decision - making and teamwork by the cockpit crew ( including decisions to immediately turn on the APU and to ditch in the Hudson ) ; the fact that the A320 is certified for extended overwater operation ( and hence carried life vests and additional raft / slides ) even though not required for that route ; the performance of the flight crew during the evacuation ; and the proximity of working vessels to the ditching site . Contributing factors were good visibility and a fast response from the ferry operators and emergency responders . The report also makes a range of recommendations to improve safety in such situations . N106US on display at Carolinas Aviation Museum . Author and pilot William Langewiesche asserted that insufficient credit was given to the A320 's fly - by - wire design , by which the pilot uses a side - stick to make control inputs to the flight control computers . The computers then impose adjustments and limits of their own to keep the plane stable , which the pilot can not override even in an emergency . This design allowed the pilots of Flight 1549 to concentrate on engine restart and deciding the course , without the burden of manually adjusting the glidepath to reduce the plane 's rate of descent . Sullenberger said that these computer - imposed limits also prevented him from achieving the optimum landing flare for the ditching , which would have softened the impact . In 2010 , the damaged plane ( excluding its engines ) was acquired for the Carolinas Aviation Museum in Charlotte , North Carolina , which held a reception on June 11 to commemorate the arrival in Charlotte of the plane 's body , with Sullenberger as keynote speaker and the passengers invited . Crew awards and honors ( edit ) The reactions of all members of the crew , the split second decision making and the handling of this emergency and evacuation was `` text book '' and an example to us all . To have safely executed this emergency ditching and evacuation , with the loss of no lives , is a heroic and unique aviation achievement . -- Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators citation An NTSB board member called the ditching `` the most successful ... in aviation history . These people knew what they were supposed to do and they did it and as a result , no lives were lost . '' The crew , especially Sullenberger , was praised , notably by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New York State Governor David Paterson , who said : `` We had a Miracle on 34th Street . I believe now we have had a Miracle on the Hudson . '' U.S. President George W. Bush said he was `` inspired by the skill and heroism of the flight crew , '' and praised the emergency responders and volunteers . President - elect Barack Obama said that everyone was proud of Sullenberger 's `` heroic and graceful job in landing the damaged aircraft . '' He thanked the crew , whom he invited to his inauguration five days later . The Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators awarded the crew a Master 's Medal on January 22 , 2009 ; this is awarded only rarely , for outstanding aviation achievements at the discretion of the Master of the Guild . New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg presented the crew with the Keys to the City , and Sullenberger with a replacement copy of a library book lost on the flight , Sidney Dekker 's Just Culture : Balancing Safety and Accountability . Rescuers received Certificates of Honor . The crew received a standing ovation at the Super Bowl XLIII on February 1 , 2009 , and Sullenberger threw out the first pitch at the 2009 Major League Baseball season for the San Francisco Giants . His Giants ' jersey was inscribed with the name `` Sully '' and the number 155 -- the count of people aboard the plane . On July 28 , passengers Dave Sanderson and Barry Leonard organized a thank you luncheon for emergency responders from Hudson County , New Jersey , on the shores of Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen , New Jersey , where 57 passengers had been brought following their rescue . Present were members of the U.S. Coast Guard , North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue , NY Waterway Ferries , the American Red Cross , Weehawken Volunteer First Aid , the Weehawken Police Department , West New York E.M.S. , North Bergen E.M.S. , the Hudson County Office of Emergency Management , the New Jersey E.M.S. Task Force , the Guttenberg Police Department , McCabe Ambulance , the Harrison Police Department , and doctors and nurses who treated survivors . Sullenberger was named Grand Marshal for the 2010 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena , California . In August 2010 , Jeppesen issued an approach plate titled `` Hudson Miracle APCH , '' dedicated to the five crew of Flight 1549 and annotated `` Presented with Pride and Gratitude from your friends at Jeppesen . '' Sullenberger retired on March 3 , 2010 , after thirty years with US Airways and its predecessor . At the end of his final flight he was reunited with Skiles and a number of the passengers from Flight 1549 . Media and popular Culture ( edit ) The accident was recorded by several closed - circuit television cameras . Various television reports and documentaries produced soon afterwards contained extensive video of the ditching and rescue , and recorded interviews with the aircrew , passengers , rescuers , and other key participants . These included : On February 8 , 2009 , the CBS program 60 Minutes broadcast three segments that included interviews with the aircrew as well as their reunion with passengers . The program aired again on July 5 , 2009 . `` Flight 1549 : A Routine Takeoff Turns Ugly '' `` Flight 1549 : Saving 155 Souls In Minutes '' `` Flight 1549 : An Emotional Reunion '' On February 19 , 2009 , Channel 4 in the United Kingdom aired a documentary entitled The Miracle of the Hudson Plane Crash included personal accounts from passengers , rescuers , and witnesses . On February 21 , 2009 , KGO - TV in San Francisco broadcast an interview in the `` Face to Face '' series . Dan Ashley talked to Captain and Mrs. Sullenberger about their experiences during and since the accident . On March 4 , 2009 , the Discovery Channel broadcast a one - hour documentary entitled Hudson Plane Crash -- What Really Happened , with computer - generated imagery ( CGI ) animations of the flight , and interviews with passengers , crew , witnesses , rescuers , and aviation safety experts . On January 10 , 2010 , TLC aired a documentary entitled Brace For Impact , aired again on April 14 in Australia as Brace For Impact : Inside The Hudson Plane Crash . In March 2011 , Ric Elias , a front - row passenger shared his experience during a TED Conference . Beginning in June 2011 , the University of North Carolina School of Filmmaking and Process Pictures , LLC worked with the Carolinas Aviation Museum to produce a documentary , which also looked at the impact of the incident on society . The crash was featured in the Discovery Channel ( Canada ) / National Geographic TV series Mayday on the episode Hudson Splash Down . It was also recreated in a National Geographic Channel TV special titled `` Miracle Landing on the Hudson , '' and in the United Kingdom for a Channel 5 special in 2011 . Garrison Keillor honored the entire flight crew by writing a song and performing it on his show , A Prairie Home Companion . The ditching is referenced in the song `` A Real Hero '' by College and Electric Youth , best known from the 2011 movie Drive . The lyrics of the second verse describe the water landing and the survival of the passengers and crew , as well alluding to the freezing river . Sullenberger is referenced in the 2011 romantic comedy Friends with Benefits . Throughout the film , Justin Timberlake 's character suggests that modern airplanes practically fly themselves , and that Sullenberger 's feat was less impressive than portrayed , but is met with incredulity and hostility . Mila Kunis 's character is seen reading Sullenberger 's English Wikipedia article . Sullenberger 's memoir , Highest Duty : My Search for What Really Matters was adapted into a feature film Sully : Miracle on the Hudson , directed by Clint Eastwood , with Tom Hanks as Sullenberger and Aaron Eckhart as co-pilot Jeff Skiles . It was released by Warner Bros. on September 9 , 2016 .

A minor injury is defined as any injury that does not qualify as a fatal or serious injury . Jump up ^ AWE1549 , also designated under a Star Alliance codeshare agreement as United Airlines Flight 1919 UA1919 . Jump up ^ Delivered in 1999 , the plane , registered N106US , was one of 74 A320s then in service at US Airways . At the time of the accident its airframe had logged 16,299 flights totaling 25,241 flight hours ; and the engines 19,182 and 26,466 hours . The last `` A Check '' ( performed every 550 flight hours ) was passed on December 6 , 2008 , and the last C Check ( annual comprehensive inspection ) on April 19 , 2008 . Jump up ^ The engines are the primary source of electrical and hydraulic power for the aircraft flight control systems , but an auxiliary power unit ( APU ) can provide backup electrical power , and a ram air turbine ( RAT ) can be deployed into the airstream to provide backup hydraulic pressure and electrical power at certain speeds . Both the APU and RAT were operating as the plane descended onto the river . Jump up ^ The Airbus A320 has a control that closes valves and other openings in the fuselage , in order to slow flooding after a water landing , but the pilots did not activate it . Sullenberger later said this would have made little difference since the water impact tore substantial holes in the fuselage .

what year did the plane land on the hudson
[ "US Airways Flight 1549 was an Airbus A320-214 which, in the climbout after takeoff from New York City's LaGuardia Airport on January 15, 2009, struck a flock of Canada geese just northeast of the George Washington Bridge and consequently lost all engine power. Unable to reach any airport, pilots Chesley Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles glided the plane to a ditching in the Hudson River off Midtown Manhattan. All 155 people aboard were rescued by nearby boats and there were few serious injuries." ]
