All by Myself - wikipedia All by Myself For other uses , see All by Myself ( disambiguation ) . `` All by Myself '' Single by Eric Carmen from the album Eric Carmen B - side `` Everything '' Released December 1 , 1975 Format 7 '' single Genre Pop soft rock Length 7 : 10 ( album version ) 4 : 22 ( single edit ) Label Arista Songwriter ( s ) Eric Carmen Producer ( s ) Jimmy Ienner Eric Carmen singles chronology `` All by Myself '' ( 1975 ) `` Never Gonna Fall in Love Again '' ( 1976 ) `` All by Myself '' ( 1975 ) `` Never Gonna Fall in Love Again '' ( 1976 ) Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic No rating `` All by Myself '' is a song by American artist Eric Carmen released in 1975 . The verse is based on the second movement ( Adagio sostenuto ) of Sergei Rachmaninoff 's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor , Opus 18 . The chorus is borrowed from the song `` Let 's Pretend '' , which Carmen wrote and recorded with the Raspberries in 1972 . The song was the first released on Carmen 's first solo LP after leaving the power pop group the Raspberries and was released as the first single in December 1975 , to great acclaim . It reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 behind The Miracles ' `` Love Machine '' and The Four Seasons ' `` December , 1963 ( Oh What a Night ) '' , number 1 on Cash Box Top 100 Singles and number 3 in Canada . The single sold more than one million copies in the United States and was certified gold by the RIAA in April 1976 . `` All By Myself '' was Carmen 's first of eight US Top 40 hits . In the UK , however , this was his only Top 40 success , peaking at number 12 . In a 2006 poll for UK 's Five programme Britain 's Favourite Break - up Songs , Eric Carmen 's version of this song was voted seventeenth . Rachmaninoff 's music was in the public domain in the United States and Carmen thought no copyright existed on it , but it was still protected outside the U.S. Subsequent to the release of the album , he was contacted by the Rachmaninoff estate and informed otherwise . An agreement was reached in which the estate would receive 12 percent of the royalties from `` All by Myself '' as well as from `` Never Gonna Fall in Love Again '' , which was based on the third movement from Rachmaninoff 's Symphony No. 2 . Carmen has stated that he also incorporated part of another melody into this song . The melody was taken from his previous hit with the Raspberries , `` Let 's Pretend . '' Carmen 's original version has spawned numerous cover versions by such artists as Rico J. Puno in 1976 , Celine Dion in 1996 , Frank Sinatra , Igudesman & Joo , Il Divo , and Only Men Aloud ! . The slide guitar solo was performed by famed studio guitarist Hugh McCracken .

It was the fourth ( or third , depending on the country ) hit single from her album Falling into You . Produced by David Foster at Compass Point Studios in The Bahamas , it was released on October 7 , 1996 in Europe , January 13 , 1997 in Australia , and March 11 , 1997 in North America . There were three music videos made . The first one was released in October 1996 . It contains fragments from Dion 's photo session for the Falling into You album cover and some scenes from her Live à Paris concert . It was made for the single version and it was directed by Nigel Dick . The second version was made for the UK market with the same white T - shirt scenes but adding footage of a young couple in love at Christmas time , instead of scenes from Dion 's concert . This was made for the album version . Finally , a live music video was released in March 1997 in North America ( from the 1996 concert in Montreal ) . Dion performed this song many times during world tours , TV shows and music events such as the Grammy Awards ( 1997 ) , Billboard Music Awards ( 1997 ) and Bambi Awards ( 1996 ) . A performance from her 2008 - 2009 Taking Chances Tour can be found on the Taking Chances World Tour : The Concert DVD / CD . It is currently included in the set list of Dion 's Las Vegas residency show Céline which premiered on March 15 , 2011 . The song was also performed during the 2013 Sans attendre Tour ; the Quebec City performance was included in the Céline ... une seule fois / Live 2013 CD / DVD . The song was also performed in Dion 's 2017 European tour . Dion also recorded a Spanish version of `` All by Myself , '' called `` Sola otra vez '' ( English : By Myself Again ) . It was added to the Falling into You Latin American / Spanish edition , and as a B - side to other singles from that album . This version became available worldwide on Dion 's later compilation The Collector 's Series , Volume One . The CD single was released in 1996 in Brazil only . Dion 's `` Sola otra vez '' was selected the number one Spanish language cover of an English pop song by TheSpanishVersion.Org . The `` All by Myself '' single became one of Dion 's biggest hits in the United States , reaching number 1 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks ( for three weeks ) and the Latin Pop Airplay ( two weeks ) . It peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 ( number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay and number 5 on the Hot 100 Singles Sales ) . It was also a top 10 hit in France , United Kingdom , Wallonia in Belgium and the Republic of Ireland . In Canada , `` All by Myself '' was released as a promotional single only , hitting number 1 on the Adult Contemporary Chart . `` All by Myself '' was certified gold in the US ( 500,000 ) , and silver in the UK ( 200,000 ) and France ( 165,000 ) . The track was included on some editions of Dion 's greatest hits All the Way ... A Decade of Song in 1999 and on My Love : Essential Collection in 2008 . This version also features on the ITV game show Take Me Out if the contestant leaves the show without a date . Critical reception ( edit ) Dion 's cover received positive reviews . New York Times editor Stephen Holden wrote that the remake , along with `` Because You Loved Me , '' `` are the strongest cuts on an album crammed with formulaic romantic bombast . '' Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report commented : `` Demand by both programmers and the public for this rendition of Eric Carmen 's 1976 smash made it the obvious choice to be the third single lifted off Celine 's multi-platinum and Grammy - nominated album , Falling Into You . '' Music.uk.launch.yahoo.com editor Dan Leroy wrote : `` Trying to out - emote Eric Carmen was almost crazy enough to work . '' Entertainment Weekly editor Chuck Eddy said : '' ... But only in her desolate cover of Eric Carmen 's All by Myself does she truly crash through the glass ceiling of passion .

Region - wikipedia Region Two or three dimensionally defined space , mainly in terrestrial and astrophysics sciences This article is about the concept of region in geography . For other uses , see Region ( disambiguation ) . In geography , regions are areas that are broadly divided by physical characteristics ( physical geography ) , human impact characteristics ( human geography ) , and the interaction of humanity and the environment ( environmental geography ) . Geographic regions and sub-regions are mostly described by their imprecisely defined , and sometimes transitory boundaries , except in human geography , where jurisdiction areas such as national borders are defined in law . Apart from the global continental regions , there are also hydrospheric and atmospheric regions that cover the oceans , and discrete climates above the land and water masses of the planet . The land and water global regions are divided into subregions geographically bounded by large geological features that influence large - scale ecologies , such as plains and features . As a way of describing spatial areas , the concept of regions is important and widely used among the many branches of geography , each of which can describe areas in regional terms . For example , ecoregion is a term used in environmental geography , cultural region in cultural geography , bioregion in biogeography , and so on . The field of geography that studies regions themselves is called regional geography . In the fields of physical geography , ecology , biogeography , zoogeography , and environmental geography , regions tend to be based on natural features such as ecosystems or biotopes , biomes , drainage basins , natural regions , mountain ranges , soil types . Where human geography is concerned , the regions and subregions are described by the discipline of ethnography . A region has its own nature that could not be moved . The first nature is its natural environment ( landform , climate , etc . ) . The second nature is its physical elements complex that were built by people in the past . The third nature is its socio - cultural context that could not be replaced by new immigrants .

However , they have been generally recognised as such much earlier by terrestrial cartography because of their impact on human geography . They are divided into largest of land regions , known as continents , and the largest of water regions known as oceans . There are also significant regions that do not belong to either classification , such as archipelago regions that are littoral regions , or earthquake regions that are defined in geology . Continental regions ( edit ) Continental regions are usually based on broad experiences in human history and attempts to reduce very large areas to more manageable regionalization for the purpose of study . As such they are conceptual constructs , usually lacking distinct boundaries . Oceanic division into maritime regions are used in conjunction with the relationship to the central area of the continent , using directions of the compass . Some continental regions are defined by the major continental feature of their identity , such as the Amazon basin , or the Sahara , which both occupy a significant percentage of their respective continental land area . To a large extent , major continental regions are mental constructs created by considering an efficient way to define large areas of the continents . For the most part , the images of the world are derived as much from academic studies , the media , or from personal experience of global exploration . They are a matter of collective human knowledge of its own planet and are attempts to better understand their environments . Regional geography ( edit ) Regional geography is a branch of geography that studies regions of all sizes across the Earth . It has a prevailing descriptive character . The main aim is to understand or define the uniqueness or character of a particular region , which consists of natural as well as human elements . Attention is paid also to regionalization , which covers the proper techniques of space delimitation into regions . Regional geography is also considered as a certain approach to study in geographical sciences ( similar to quantitative or critical geographies ; for more information , see history of geography ) . Human geography ( edit ) Human geography is a branch of geography that focuses on the study of patterns and processes that shape human interaction with various discrete environments . It encompasses human , political , cultural , social , and economic aspects among others that are often clearly delineated . While the major focus of human geography is not the physical landscape of the Earth ( see physical geography ) , it is hardly possible to discuss human geography without referring to the physical landscape on which human activities are being played out , and environmental geography is emerging as a link between the two . Regions of human geography can be divided into many broad categories : Cultural geography Demography Development geography Economic geography Ethnography Geopolitics Health geography Historical geography Language geography Religion geography Social geography Time geography Tourism geography Transportation geography Urban geography Media Geography Historical regions ( edit ) Main article : Historical region The field of historical geography involves the study of human history as it relates to places and regions or the study of how places and regions have changed over time . D.W. Meinig , a historical geographer of America , describes many historical regions in his book The Shaping of America : A Geographical Perspective on 500 Years of History . For example , in identifying European `` source regions '' in early American colonization efforts , he defines and describes the Northwest European Atlantic Protestant Region , which includes sub-regions such as the `` Western Channel Community '' , which itself is made of sub-regions such as the English West Country of Cornwall , Devon , Somerset , and Dorset . In describing historic regions of America , Meinig writes of `` The Great Fishery '' off the coast of Newfoundland and New England , an oceanic region that includes the Grand Banks . He rejects regions traditionally used in describing American history , like New France , `` West Indies '' , the Middle Colonies , and the individual colonies themselves ( Province of Maryland , for example ) . Instead he writes of `` discrete colonization areas , '' which may be named after colonies but rarely adhere strictly to political boundaries . Historic regions of this type Meinig writes about include `` Greater New England '' and its major sub-regions of `` Plymouth , '' `` New Haven shores '' ( including parts of Long Island ) , `` Rhode Island '' ( or `` Narragansett Bay '' ) , `` the Piscataqua , '' `` Massachusetts Bay , '' `` Connecticut Valley , '' and to a lesser degree , regions in the sphere of influence of Greater New England , `` Acadia '' ( Nova Scotia ) , `` Newfoundland and The Fishery / The Banks . '' Other examples of historical regions include Iroquoia , Ohio Country , Illinois Country , and Rupert 's Land . Tourism region ( edit ) Main article : Tourism region A tourism region is a geographical region that has been designated by a governmental organization or tourism bureau as having common cultural or environmental characteristics . These regions are often named after a geographical , former , or current administrative region or may have a name created for tourism purposes . The names often evoke certain positive qualities of the area and suggest a coherent tourism experience to visitors . Countries , states , provinces , and other administrative regions are often carved up into tourism regions to facilitate attracting visitors . Some of the more famous tourism regions based on historical or current administrative regions include Tuscany in Italy and Yucatán in Mexico . Famous examples of regions created by a government or tourism bureau include the United Kingdom 's Lake District and California 's Wine Country . great plains region Natural resource regions ( edit ) Natural resources often occur in distinct regions . Natural resource regions can be a topic of physical geography or environmental geography , but also have a strong element of human geography and economic geography . A coal region , for example , is a physical or geomorphological region , but its development and exploitation can make it into an economic and a cultural region . Some examples of natural resource regions include the Rumaila Field , the oil field that lies along the border or Iraq and Kuwait and played a role in the Gulf War ; the Coal Region of Pennsylvania , which is a historical region as well as a cultural , physical , and natural resource region ; the South Wales Coalfield , which like Pennsylvania 's coal region is a historical , cultural , and natural region ; the Kuznetsk Basin , a similarly important coal mining region in Russia ; Kryvbas , the economic and iron ore mining region of Ukraine ; and the James Bay Project , a large region of Quebec where one of the largest hydroelectric systems in the world has been developed . Religious regions ( edit ) Sometimes a region associated with a religion is given a name , like Christendom , a term with medieval and renaissance connotations of Christianity as a sort of social and political polity . The term Muslim world is sometimes used to refer to the region of the world where Islam is dominant . These broad terms are very vague when used to describe regions . Within some religions there are clearly defined regions . The Roman Catholic Church , the Church of England , the Eastern Orthodox Church , and others , define ecclesiastical regions with names such as diocese , eparchy , ecclesiastical provinces , and parish . For example , the United States is divided into 32 Roman Catholic ecclesiastical provinces . The Lutheran Church -- Missouri Synod is organized into 33 geographic districts , which are subdivided into circuits ( the Atlantic District ( LCMS ) , for example ) . The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints uses regions similar to dioceses and parishes , but uses terms like ward and stake . Political regions ( edit ) See also : Administrative divisions In the field of political geography , regions tend to be based on political units such as sovereign states ; subnational units such as administrative regions , provinces , states ( in the United States ) , counties , townships , territories , etc. ; and multinational groupings , including formally defined units such as the European Union , the Association of Southeast Asian Nations , and NATO , as well as informally defined regions such as the Third World , Western Europe , and the Middle East . Administrative regions ( edit ) Further information : Administrative division The word `` region '' is taken from the Latin regio ( derived from regere , to rule ) , and a number of countries have borrowed the term as the formal name for a type of subnational entity ( e.g. , the región , used in Chile ) . In English , the word is also used as the conventional translation for equivalent terms in other languages ( e.g. , the область ( oblast ) , used in Russia alongside a broader term регион ) . The following countries use the term `` region '' ( or its cognate ) as the name of a type of subnational administrative unit : Belgium ( in French , région ; in German , Region ; the Dutch term gewest is often translated as `` region '' ) Chad ( région , effective from 2002 ) Chile ( región ) Côte d'Ivoire ( région ) Denmark ( effective from 2007 ) England ( not the United Kingdom as a whole ) Eritrea France ( région ) Ghana Guinea ( région ) Guinea - Bissau ( região ) Guyana Hungary ( régió ) Italy ( regione ) Madagascar ( région ) Mali ( région ) Malta ( reġjun ) Namibia New Zealand Peru ( región ) Portugal ( região ) Philippines ( rehiyon ) Senegal ( région ) Tanzania Togo ( région ) Trinidad and Tobago ( Regional Corporation ) The Canadian province of Québec also uses the `` administrative region '' ( région administrative ) . Scotland had local government regions from 1975 to 1996 . In Spain the official name of the autonomous community of Murcia is Región de Murcia . Also , some single - province autonomous communities such as Madrid use the term región interchangeably with comunidad autónoma . Two län ( counties ) in Sweden are officially called ' regions ' : Skåne and Västra Götaland , and there is currently a controversial proposal to divide the rest of Sweden into large regions , replacing the current counties . The government of the Philippines uses the term `` region '' ( in Filipino , rehiyon ) when it 's necessary to group provinces , the primary administrative subdivision of the country . This is also the case in Brazil , which groups its primary administrative divisions ( estados ; `` states '' ) into grandes regiões ( greater regions ) for statistical purposes , while Russia uses экономические районы ( economic regions ) in a similar way , as does Romania and Venezuela . The government of Singapore makes use of the term `` region '' for its own administrative purposes . The following countries use an administrative subdivision conventionally referred to as a region in English : Bulgaria , which uses the област ( oblast ) Russia , which uses the область ( oblast ' ) , and for some regions the край ( krai ) Ukraine , which uses the область ( oblast ' ) Slovakia ( kraj ) China has five 自治区 ( zìzhìqū ) and two 特別 行政區 ( or 特别 行政区 ; tèbiéxíngzhèngqū ) , which are translated as `` autonomous region '' and `` special administrative region '' , respectively . Local administrative regions ( edit ) There are many relatively small regions based on local government agencies such as districts , agencies , or regions . In general , they are all regions in the general sense of being bounded spatial units . Examples include electoral districts such as Washington 's 6th congressional district and Tennessee 's 1st congressional district ; school districts such as Granite School District and Los Angeles Unified School District ; economic districts such as the Reedy Creek Improvement District ; metropolitan areas such as the Seattle metropolitan area , and metropolitan districts such as the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago , the Las Vegas - Clark County Library District , the Metropolitan Police Service of Greater London , as well as other local districts like the York Rural Sanitary District , the Delaware River Port Authority , the Nassau County Soil and Water Conservation District , and C - TRAN . Traditional or informal regions ( edit ) The traditional territorial divisions of some countries are also commonly rendered in English as `` regions '' . These informal divisions do not form the basis of the modern administrative divisions of these countries , but still define and delimit local regional identity and sense of belonging . Examples include : Finland Japan Korea Norway ( landsdeler ) Romania Slovakia Functional regions ( edit ) Functional regions are usually understood to be the areas organised by the horizontal functional relations ( flows , interactions ) that are maximised within a region and minimised across its borders so that the principles of internal cohesiveness and external separation regarding spatial interactions are met ( see , for instance , Farmer and Fotheringham , 2011 ; Klapka , Halas , 2016 ; Smart , 1974 ) . A functional region is not an abstract spatial concept , but to a certain extent it can be regarded as a reflection of the spatial behaviour of individuals in a geographic space . The functional region is conceived as a general concept while its inner structure , inner spatial flows , and interactions need not necessarily show any regular pattern , only selfcontainment . The concept of self - containment remains the only crucial defining characteristic of a functional region . Nodal regions , functional urban regions , daily urban systems , local labour - market areas ( LLMAs ) , or travel - to - work areas ( TTWAs ) are considered to be special instances of a general functional region that need to fulfil some specific conditions regarding , for instance , the character of the region - organising interaction or the presence of urban cores , ( Halas et al. , 2015 ) . Military regions ( edit ) See also : Military district Common military ranks in English Navies Armies Air forces Commissioned officers Admiral of the fleet Field marshal or General of the Army Marshal of the air force Admiral General Air chief marshal Vice admiral Lieutenant general Air marshal Rear admiral Major general Air vice-marshal Commodore Brigadier or brigadier general Air commodore Captain Colonel Group captain Commander Lieutenant colonel Wing commander Lieutenant commander Major or Commandant Squadron leader Lieutenant Captain Flight lieutenant Lieutenant junior grade or sub-lieutenant Lieutenant or first lieutenant Flying officer Ensign or midshipman Second lieutenant Pilot officer Officer cadet Officer cadet Flight cadet Enlisted grades Warrant officer or chief petty officer Warrant officer or sergeant major Warrant officer Petty officer Sergeant Sergeant Leading seaman Corporal or bombardier Corporal Seaman Private or gunner or trooper Aircraftman or airman Talk View In military usage , a region is shorthand for the name of a military formation larger than an Army Group and smaller than an Army Theater or simply Theater . The full name of the military formation is Army Region . The size of an Army Region can vary widely but is generally somewhere between about 1 million and 3 million soldiers . Two or more Army Regions could make up an Army Theater . An Army Region is typically commanded by a full General ( US four stars ) , a Field Marshal , or General of the Army ( US five stars ) , or Generalissimo ( Soviet Union ) . Due to the large size of this formation , its use is rarely employed . Some of the very few examples of an Army Region are each of the Eastern , Western , and southern ( mostly in Italy ) fronts in Europe during World War II . The military map unit symbol for this echelon of formation ( see Military organization and APP - 6A ) consists of six Xs . Media geography ( edit ) Media geography is a spatio - temporal understanding , brought through different gadgets of media , nowadays , media became inevitable at different proportions and everyone supposed to consumed at different gravity . The spatial attributes are studied with the help of media outputs in shape of images which are contested in nature and pattern as well where politics is inseparable . Media geography is giving spatial understanding of mediated image .

He promptly tracks down Sam Bowden ( Gregory Peck ) , a lawyer whom he holds personally responsible for his conviction because Sam interrupted his attack and testified against him . Cady begins to stalk and subtly threaten Bowden 's family . He kills the Bowden family dog , though Sam can not prove Cady did it . A friend of Bowden 's , police chief Mark Dutton ( Martin Balsam ) , attempts to intervene on Bowden 's behalf , but he can not prove Cady guilty of any crime . Bowden hires private detective Charlie Sievers ( Telly Savalas ) . Cady brutally attacks a promiscuous young woman named Diane Taylor ( Barrie Chase ) when she brings him home , but neither the private eye nor Bowden can persuade her to testify . Bowden hires three thugs to beat up Cady and persuade him to leave town , but the plan backfires when Cady gets the better of all three . Cady 's lawyer vows to have Bowden disbarred . Afraid for his wife Peggy ( Polly Bergen ) and 14 - year - old daughter Nancy ( Lori Martin ) , Bowden takes them to their houseboat in Cape Fear . In an attempt to trick Cady , Bowden makes it seem as though he has gone to a completely different location . He fully expects Cady to follow his wife and daughter , and he plans on killing Cady to end the battle . Bowden and a local deputy hide nearby , but Cady realizes the deputy is there and kills him . Eluding Bowden , Cady first attacks Mrs. Bowden on the boat , causing Bowden to go to her rescue . Meanwhile , Cady swims back to shore to attack Nancy . Bowden realizes what has happened , and also swims ashore . The two men engage in a final violent fight on the riverbank . Bowden overpowers Cady , but decides not to kill him , preferring to let him spend the rest of his life in jail . The film ends with the Bowden family sitting together on a boat the next morning . Cast ( edit ) Gregory Peck as Sam Bowden Robert Mitchum as Max Cady Polly Bergen as Peggy Bowden Lori Martin as Nancy Bowden Martin Balsam as Mark Dutton Jack Kruschen as Dave Grafton Telly Savalas as Charlie Sievers Barrie Chase as Diane Taylor Paul Comi as George Garner Edward Platt as Judge Will Wright as Dr. Pearsall Joan Staley as Waitress Production ( edit ) Casting ( edit ) Rod Steiger wanted to play Max Cady , but he backed off when he heard Mitchum was considering the role . Telly Savalas was screentested for the role , but later played private eye Charlie Sievers . Charles Bronson , James Coburn , Charlton Heston , Jack Palance , and John Wayne , were all considered for the role of the attorney , Sam Bowden . Peck was a last - minute replacement for Heston , who was originally cast . Jim Backus was set to play attorney Dave Grafton . Filming ( edit ) Thompson had always envisioned the film in black and white prior to production . As an Alfred Hitchcock fan , he wanted to have Hitchcockian elements in the film , such as unusual lighting angles , an eerie musical score , closeups , and subtle hints rather than graphic depictions of the violence Cady has in mind for the family . The outdoor scenes were filmed on location in Savannah , Georgia , Stockton , California , and the Universal Studios backlot at Universal City , California . The indoor scenes were done at Universal Studios Soundstage . Mitchum had a real - life aversion to Savannah , where as a teenager , he had been charged with vagrancy and put on a chain gang . This resulted in a number of the outdoor scenes ' being shot at Ladd 's Marina in Stockton , including the culminating conflict on the houseboat at the end of the movie . This scene where Mitchum attacks Polly Bergen 's character on the houseboat was almost completely improvised . Before the scene was filmed , Thompson suddenly told a crew member : `` Bring me a dish of eggs ! '' Mitchum 's rubbing the eggs on Bergen was not scripted and Bergen 's reactions were real . She also suffered back injuries from being knocked around so much . She felt the impact of the `` attack '' for days . While filming the scene , Mitchum cut open his hand , leading Bergen to recall : `` his hand was covered in blood , my back was covered in blood . We just kept going , caught up in the scene . They came over and physically stopped us . '' In the source novel The Executioners , by John D. MacDonald , Cady was a soldier court - martialed and convicted on then Lieutenant Bowden 's testimony for the brutal rape of a 14 - year - old girl . The censors stepped in , banned the use of the word `` rape '' , and stated that depicting Cady as a soldier reflected adversely on U.S. military personnel . Music ( edit ) Bernard Herrmann , as often in his scores , uses a reduced version of the symphony orchestra . Here , other than a 46 - piece string section ( slightly larger than usual for film scores ) , he adds four flutes ( doubling on two piccolos , two alto flutes in G , and two bass flutes in C ) and eight French horns . No use is made of further wind instruments or percussion . In his 2002 book A Heart at Fire 's Center : The Life and Music of Bernard Herrmann , Stephen C. Smith writes : `` Yet Herrmann was perfect for Cape Fear ... Herrmann 's score reinforces Cape Fear 's savagery . Mainly a synthesis of past devices , its power comes from their imaginative application and another ingenious orchestration ... a rehearsal for his similar orchestration on Hitchcock 's Torn Curtain in 1966 . Like similar `` psychological '' Herrmann scores , dissonant string combinations suggest the workings of a killer 's mind ( most startlingly in a queasy device for cello and bass viols as Cadey prepares to attack the prostitute ) . Hermann 's prelude searingly establishes the dramatic conflict : descending and ascending chromatic voices move slowly towards each other from their opposite registers , finally crossing -- just as Bodens and Cadey 's game of cat - and - mouse will end in deadly confrontation . '' Distribution ( edit ) Although the word `` rape '' was entirely removed from the script before shooting , the film still enraged the censors , who worried that `` there was a continuous threat of sexual assault on a child . '' To accept the film , British censors required extensive editing and deleting of specific scenes . After making around 6 minutes of cuts , the film still nearly garnered a British X rating ( meaning at the time , `` Suitable for those aged 18 and older '' , not necessarily meaning there was sexually explicit or violent content ) . Home Media ( edit ) Cape Fear was first made available on VHS on March 1 , 1992 . It was later re-released on VHS , as well as DVD , on September 18 , 2001 . The film was released onto Blu - ray on January 8 , 2013 . It contains production photos and a `` making - of '' featurette . Reaction ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) Upon its release , the film received positive but cautious feedback from critics due to the film 's content . Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 95 % of 20 critics have given the film a positive review , with a rating average of 7.6 out of 10 . Bosley Crowther of the New York Times praised the `` tough , tight script '' , as well as the film 's `` steady and starkly sinister style . '' He went on to conclude his review by saying , `` this is really one of those shockers that provokes disgust and regret . '' The entertainment - trade magazine Variety reviewed the film as `` competent and visually polished '' , while commenting on Mitchum 's performance as a `` menacing omnipresence . '' Legacy ( edit ) Although it makes no acknowledgement of Cape Fear , the episode `` The Force of Evil '' from the 1977 NBC television series Quinn Martin 's Tales of the Unexpected uses virtually the same plot , merely introducing an additional supernatural element to the released prisoner . The film and its remake serve as the basis for the 1993 The Simpsons episode `` Cape Feare '' in which Sideshow Bob , recently released from prison , stalks the Simpson family in an attempt to kill Bart . In April 2007 , Newsweek selected Cady as one of the 10 best villains in cinema history . Specifically , the scene where Cady attacks Sam 's family was ranked number 36 on Bravo 's 100 Scariest Movie Moments in 2004 . A consumer poll on the Internet Movie Database rates Cape Fear as the 65th - best trial film , although the trial scenes are merely incidental to the plot . The film is recognized by American Film Institute in these lists : 2001 : AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Thrills -- # 61 2003 : AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Heroes & Villains : Max Cady -- # 28 Villain See also ( edit ) List of films featuring home invasions List of films featuring surveillance Trial movies References ( edit ) Jump up ^ p. 283 Chibnall , Steve J.

A Jury of Her Peers

A Jury of her Peers - wikipedia A Jury of her Peers Jump to : navigation , search `` A Jury of Her Peers '' Author Susan Glaspell Country United States Language English Published in Every Week Magazine Publication date March 5 , 1917 Preceded by `` Trifles '' `` A Jury of Her Peers '' , written in 1917 , is a short story by Susan Glaspell , loosely based on the 1900 murder of John Hossack ( not the famed abolitionist ) , which Glaspell covered while working as a journalist for the Des Moines Daily News . It is seen as an example of early feminist literature because two female characters are able to solve a mystery that the male characters can not . They are aided by their knowledge of women 's psychology . Glaspell originally wrote the story as a one - act play entitled Trifles for the Provincetown Players in 1916 . The story was adapted into an episode of the 1950s TV series Alfred Hitchcock Presents . The story was adapted into a 30 - minute film by Sally Heckel in 1980 . The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film . Plot summary ( edit ) `` A Jury of Her Peers '' is about the discovery of and subsequent investigation of John Wright 's murder . The story begins on a cold , windy day in fictional Dickson County ( representing Dickinson County , Iowa ) with Martha Hale being abruptly called to ride to a crime scene . In the buggy is Lewis Hale , her husband , Sheriff Peters , the county sheriff , and Mrs. Peters , the sheriff 's wife . She rushes out to join them in the buggy , and the group sets off . They arrive at the crime scene : the Wrights ' lonesome - looking house . Immediately Mrs. Hale exhibits a feeling of guilt for not visiting her friend Minnie Foster since she married and became Mrs. Wright ( the dead man 's wife ) twenty years prior . Once the whole group is safely inside the house , Mr. Hale is asked to describe to the county attorney what he had seen and experienced the day prior . Despite the serious circumstances , he delivers his story in a long - winded and poorly thought - out manner , tendencies he struggles to avoid throughout . The story begins with Mr. Hale venturing to Mr. Wright 's house to convince Wright to get a telephone . Upon entering the house , he finds Mrs. Wright in a delirious state and comes to learn that Mr. Wright has allegedly been strangled . The women 's curious nature and very peculiar attention to minute details allows them to find evidence of Mrs. Wright 's guilt and of her provocations and motives . Meanwhile , the men are unable to procure any evidence . The women find the one usable piece of evidence : the dead bird in the box . It 's stated that Minnie used to love to sing and her husband took that away from her . But now finding her bird is dead , with a broken neck ( with the implication that the husband killed it ) it is evident Mrs. Wright killed her husband . Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters use their knowledge and experience as two `` midwestern rural women '' to understand Mrs. Wright 's suffering when the only living thing around her has died . The women find justification in Mrs. Wright 's actions and go about hiding what they find from the men . In the end , their obstruction of evidence will seemingly prevent a conviction . The story ends here , and does not move into the occurrences after they leave the house . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Bryan , Patricia L.

Czech ( / ˈtʃɛk / ; čeština Czech pronunciation : ( ˈt͡ʃɛʃcɪna ) ) , historically also Bohemian ( / boʊˈhiːmiən , bə - / ; lingua Bohemica in Latin ) , is a West Slavic language of the Czech -- Slovak group , which is extensively influenced by Latin and German . Spoken by over 10 million people , it serves as the official language of the Czech Republic . Czech is closely related to Slovak , to the point of mutual intelligibility to a very high degree . The Czecho - Slovak group developed within West Slavic in the high medieval period , and the standardisation of Czech and Slovak within the Czech -- Slovak dialect continuum emerges in the early modern period . In the later 18th to mid-19th century , the modern written standard became codified in the context of the Czech National Revival . The main vernacular , known as Common Czech , is based on the vernacular of Prague , but is now spoken throughout most of the Czech Republic . The Moravian dialects spoken in the eastern part of the country are also classified as Czech , although some of their eastern variants are closer to Slovak . Czech has a moderately - sized phoneme inventory , comprising five vowels ( each short or long ) and twenty - five consonants ( divided into `` hard '' , `` neutral '' and `` soft '' categories ) . Words may contain uncommon ( or complicated ) consonant clusters , including one consonant represented by the grapheme ř , or lack vowels altogether . Czech uses a simple orthography which phonologists have used as a model .

Czech and Slovak make up a `` Czech -- Slovak '' subgroup . Czech is a member of the West Slavic sub-branch of the Slavic branch of the Indo - European language family . This branch includes Polish , Kashubian , Upper and Lower Sorbian and Slovak . Slovak is the closest language genetic neighbor of Czech , followed by Polish and Silesian . The West Slavic languages are spoken in Central Europe . Czech is distinguished from other West Slavic languages by a more - restricted distinction between `` hard '' and `` soft '' consonants ( see Phonology below ) . History ( edit ) The Bible of Kralice was the first complete translation of the Bible into the Czech language from the original languages . Its six volumes were first published between 1579 and 1593 . Main article : History of the Czech language See also : History of the Czech lands Medieval / Old Czech ( edit ) The term `` Old Czech '' is applied to the period predating the 16th century , with the earliest records of the high medieval period also classified as `` early Old Czech '' , but it is also possible to speak simply about `` Medieval Czech '' . Around the 7th century , the Slavic expansion reached Central Europe , settling on the eastern fringes of the Frankish Empire . The West Slavic polity of Great Moravia formed by the 9th century . The Christianization of Bohemia took place during the 9th and 10th centuries . The diversification of the Czech - Slovak group within West Slavic began around that time , marked among other things by its ephemeral use of the voiced velar fricative consonant ( / ɣ / ) and consistent stress on the first syllable . The Bohemian ( Czech ) language is first recorded in writing in glosses and short notes during the 12th to 13th centuries . Literary works written in Czech appear in the early 14th century and administrative documents first appear towards the late 14th century . The first complete Bible translation also dates to this period . Old Czech texts , including poetry and cookbooks , were produced outside the university as well . Literary activity becomes widespread in the early 15th century in the context of the Bohemian Reformation . Jan Hus contributed significantly to the standardization of Czech orthography , advocated for widespread literacy among Czech commoners ( particularly in religion ) and made early efforts to model written Czech after the spoken language . Early modern Czech ( edit ) There was no standardization distinguishing between Czech and Slovak prior to the 15th century . In the 16th century , the division between Czech and Slovak becomes apparent , marking the confessional division between Lutheran Protestants in Slovakia using Czech orthography and Catholics , especially Slovak Jesuits , beginning to use a separate Slovak orthography based on the language of the Trnava region . The publication of the Kralice Bible between 1579 and 1593 ( the first complete Czech translation of the Bible from the original languages ) became very important for standardization of the Czech language in the following centuries . In 1615 , the Bohemian diet tried to declare Czech to be the only official language of the kingdom . After the Bohemian Revolt ( of predominantly Protestant aristocracy ) which was defeated by the Habsburgs in 1620 , the Protestant intellectuals had to leave the country . This emigration together with other consequences of the Thirty Years ' War had a negative impact on the further use of the Czech language . In 1627 , Czech and German became official languages of the Kingdom of Bohemia and in the 18th century German became dominant in Bohemia and Moravia , especially among the upper classes . Modern Czech ( edit ) Josef Dobrovský , whose writing played a key role in reviving Czech as a written language See also : Czech National Revival The modern standard Czech language originates in standardization efforts of the 18th century . By then the language had developed a literary tradition , and since then it has changed little ; journals from that period have no substantial differences from modern standard Czech , and contemporary Czechs can understand them with little difficulty . Changes include the morphological shift of í to ej and é to í ( although é survives for some uses ) and the merging of í and the former ejí . Sometime before the 18th century , the Czech language abandoned a distinction between phonemic / l / and / ʎ / which survives in Slovak . Prohibition signs written in Czech , by entry # 3 into the building of National Technical Library in Prague . With the beginning of the national revival of the mid-18th century , Czech historians began to emphasize their people 's accomplishments from the 15th through the 17th centuries , rebelling against the Counter-Reformation ( the Habsburg re-catholization efforts which had denigrated Czech and other non-Latin languages ) . Czech philologists studied sixteenth - century texts , advocating the return of the language to high culture . This period is known as the Czech National Revival ( or Renaissance ) . During the national revival , in 1809 linguist and historian Josef Dobrovský released a German - language grammar of Old Czech entitled Ausführliches Lehrgebäude der böhmischen Sprache ( Comprehensive Doctrine of the Bohemian Language ) . Dobrovský had intended his book to be descriptive , and did not think Czech had a realistic chance of returning as a major language . However , Josef Jungmann and other revivalists used Dobrovský 's book to advocate for a Czech linguistic revival . Changes during this time included spelling reform ( notably , í in place of the former j and j in place of g ) , the use of t ( rather than ti ) to end infinitive verbs and the non-capitalization of nouns ( which had been a late borrowing from German ) . These changes differentiated Czech from Slovak . Modern scholars disagree about whether the conservative revivalists were motivated by nationalism or considered contemporary spoken Czech unsuitable for formal , widespread use . Adherence to historical patterns was later relaxed and standard Czech adopted a number of features from Common Czech ( a widespread , informal register ) , such as leaving some proper nouns undeclined . This has resulted in a relatively high level of homogeneity among all varieties of the language . Geographic distribution ( edit ) A map of the languages of Central and Eastern Europe . Within the Czech Republic , Standard Czech is represented by dark yellow ( C1 ) and Moravian dialects by medium yellow ( C2 ) and light green ( C3 ) . Official use of Czech in Vojvodina , Serbia In 2005 and 2007 , Czech was spoken by about 10 million residents of the Czech Republic . A Eurobarometer survey conducted from January to March 2012 found that the first language of 98 percent of Czech citizens was Czech , the third - highest in the European Union ( behind Greece and Hungary ) . Czech , the official language of the Czech Republic ( a member of the European Union since 2004 ) , is one of the EU 's official languages and the 2012 Eurobarometer survey found that Czech was the foreign language most often used in Slovakia . Economist Jonathan van Parys collected data on language knowledge in Europe for the 2012 European Day of Languages . The five countries with the greatest use of Czech were the Czech Republic ( 98.77 percent ) , Slovakia ( 24.86 percent ) , Portugal ( 1.93 percent ) , Poland ( 0.98 percent ) and Germany ( 0.47 percent ) . Czech speakers in Slovakia primarily live in cities . Since it is a recognised minority language in Slovakia , Slovak citizens who speak only Czech may communicate with the government in their language to the extent that Slovak speakers in the Czech Republic may do so . United states ( edit ) See also : Czech American and Czech Texan Immigration of Czechs from Europe to the United States occurred primarily from 1848 to 1914 . Czech is a Less Commonly Taught Language in U.S. schools , and is taught at Czech heritage centers . Large communities of Czech Americans live in the states of Texas , Nebraska and Wisconsin . In the 2000 United States Census , Czech was reported as the most - common language spoken at home ( besides English ) in Valley , Butler and Saunders Counties , Nebraska and Republic County , Kansas . With the exception of Spanish ( the non-English language most commonly spoken at home nationwide ) , Czech was the most - common home language in over a dozen additional counties in Nebraska , Kansas , Texas , North Dakota and Minnesota . As of 2009 , 70,500 Americans spoke Czech as their first language ( 49th place nationwide , behind Turkish and ahead of Swedish ) . Varieties ( edit ) Further information : Czech - Slovak languages The main vernacular is `` Common Czech '' , based on the dialect of the Prague region . Other Bohemian dialects have become marginalized , while Moravian dialects remain more widespread , with a political movement for Moravian linguistic revival active since the 1990s . Common Czech ( edit ) The main Czech vernacular , spoken primarily near Prague but also throughout the country , is known as Common Czech ( obecná čeština ) . This is an academic distinction ; most Czechs are unaware of the term or associate it with vernacular ( or incorrect ) Czech . Compared to standard Czech , Common Czech is characterized by simpler inflection patterns and differences in sound distribution . Common Czech has become ubiquitous in most parts of the Czech Republic since the later 20th century . It is usually defined as an interdialect used in common speech in Bohemia and western parts of Moravia ( by about two thirds of all inhabitants of the Czech Republic ) . Common Czech is not codified , but some of its elements have become adopted in the written standard . Since the second half of the 20th century , Common Czech elements have also been spreading to regions previously unaffected , as a consequence of media influence . Standard Czech is still the norm for politicians , businesspeople and other Czechs in formal situations , but Common Czech is gaining ground in journalism and the mass media . Common Czech is characterized by quite regular differences from the standard morphology and phonology . These variations are more or less common to all Common Czech dialects : é usually replaced by ý / í : malý město ( small town ) , plamínek ( little flame ) , lítat ( to fly ) ; ý ( sometimes also í ) replaced by ej : malej dům ( small house ) , mlejn ( mill ) , plejtvat ( to waste ) , bejt ( to be ) -- as a consequence of the loss of the difference in the pronunciation of y / ý and i / í in the 15th century ; unified plural endings of adjectives : malý lidi ( small people ) , malý ženy ( small women ) , malý města ( small towns ) -- stand. : malí lidé , malé ženy , malá města ; unified instrumental ending - ma in plural : s těma dobrejma lidma , ženama , chlapama , městama ( with the good people , women , guys , towns ) -- stand. : s těmi dobrými lidmi , ženami , chlapy , městy ( in essence , this form resembles the form of the dual , which was once a productive form , but now is almost extinct , except a few examples ; in Common Czech it can often be used indiscriminately , i.e. it can substitute a regular plural form , not just as it was once used ) ; prothetic v - added to most words beginning o - : votevřít vokno ( to open the window ) -- stand. : otevřít okno ; but ovoce not * vovoce ( fruit ) omitting of the syllabic - l in the masculine ending of past tense verbs : řek ( he said ) , moh ( he could ) , pích ( he pricked ) -- stand. : řekl , mohl , píchl . Example of declension ( with the comparison with the standard Czech ) : Masculine animate Masculine inanimate Feminine Neuter Sg .

Dialect use began to weaken in the second half of the 20th century , and by the early 1990s dialect use was stigmatized , associated with the shrinking lower class and used in literature or other media for comedic effect . Increased travel and media availability to dialect - speaking populations has encouraged them to shift to ( or add to their own dialect ) standard Czech . Although Czech has received considerable scholarly interest for a Slavic language , this interest has focused primarily on modern standard Czech and historical texts rather than dialects . The Czech Statistical Office in 2003 recognized the following Bohemian dialects : Nářečí středočeská ( Central Bohemian dialects ) Nářečí jihozápadočeská ( Southwestern Bohemian dialects ) Podskupina chodská ( Chod subgroup ) Podskupina doudlebská ( Doudleby subgroup ) Nářečí severovýchodočeská ( Northeastern Bohemian dialects ) Podskupina podkrknošská ( Krkonoše subgroup ) Moravian dialects ( edit ) Main article : Moravian dialects Further information : Lach dialects The Czech dialects spoken in Moravia and Silesia are known as Moravian ( moravština ) . In the Austro - Hungarian Empire , `` Bohemian - Moravian - Slovak '' was a language citizens could register as speaking ( with German , Polish and several others ) . Of the Czech dialects , only Moravian is distinguished in nationwide surveys by the Czech Statistical Office . As of 2011 , 62,908 Czech citizens spoke Moravian as their first language and 45,561 were diglossal ( speaking Moravian and standard Czech as first languages ) . Beginning in the sixteenth century , some varieties of Czech resembled Slovak ; the southeastern Moravian dialects , in particular , are sometimes considered dialects of Slovak rather than Czech . These dialects form a continuum between the Czech and Slovak languages , using the same declension patterns for nouns and pronouns and the same verb conjugations as Slovak . The Czech Statistical Office in 2003 recognized the following Moravian dialects : Nářečí českomoravská ( Bohemian -- Moravian dialects ) Nářečí středomoravská ( Central Moravian dialects ) Podskupina tišnovská ( Tišnov subgroup ) Nářečí východomoravská ( Eastern Moravian dialects ) Podskupina slovácká ( Moravian Slovak subgroup ) Podskupina valašská ( Moravian Wallachian subgroup ) Nářečí slezská ( Silesian dialects ) Sample ( edit ) In a 1964 textbook on Czech dialectology , Břetislav Koudela used the following sentence to highlight phonetic differences between dialects : Standard Czech : Dej mouku ze mlýna na vozík . Common Czech : Dej mouku ze mlejna na vozejk . Central Moravian : Dé móku ze mléna na vozék . Eastern Moravian : Daj múku ze młýna na vozík . Silesian : Daj muku ze młyna na vozik . Slovak : Daj múku zm lyna na vozík . English : Put the flour from the mill into the cart . Mutual intelligibility ( edit ) Further information : Comparison of Slovak and Czech Czech and Slovak have been considered mutually intelligible ; speakers of either language can communicate with greater ease than those of any other pair of West Slavic languages . Since the 1993 dissolution of Czechoslovakia , mutual intelligibility has declined for younger speakers , probably because Czech speakers now experience less exposure to Slovak and vice versa . In phonetic differences , Czech is characterized by a glottal stop before initial vowels and Slovak by its less - frequent use of long vowels than Czech ; however , Slovak has long forms of the consonants r and l when they function as vowels . Phonemic differences between the two languages are generally consistent , typical of two dialects of a language . Grammatically , although Czech ( unlike Slovak ) has a vocative case , both languages share a common syntax . One study showed that Czech and Slovak lexicons differed by 80 percent , but this high percentage was found to stem primarily from differing orthographies and slight inconsistencies in morphological formation ; Slovak morphology is more regular ( when changing from the nominative to the locative case , Praha becomes Praze in Czech and Prahe in Slovak ) . The two lexicons are generally considered similar , with most differences found in colloquial vocabulary and some scientific terminology . Slovak has slightly more borrowed words than Czech . The similarities between Czech and Slovak led to the languages being considered a single language by a group of 19th - century scholars who called themselves `` Czechoslavs '' ( Čechoslované ) , believing that the peoples were connected in a way which excluded German Bohemians and ( to a lesser extent ) Hungarians and other Slavs . During the First Czechoslovak Republic ( 1918 -- 1938 ) , although `` Czechoslovak '' was designated as the republic 's official language , both Czech and Slovak written standards were used . Standard written Slovak was partially modeled on literary Czech , and Czech was preferred for some official functions in the Slovak half of the republic . Czech influence on Slovak was protested by Slovak scholars , and when Slovakia broke off from Czechoslovakia in 1938 as the Slovak State ( which then aligned with Nazi Germany in World War II ) , literary Slovak was deliberately distanced from Czech . When the Axis powers lost the war and Czechoslovakia reformed , Slovak developed somewhat on its own ( with Czech influence ) ; during the Prague Spring of 1968 , Slovak gained independence from ( and equality with ) Czech , due to the transformation of Czechoslovakia from a unitary state to a federation . Since the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993 , `` Czechoslovak '' has referred to improvised pidgins of the languages which have arisen from the decrease in mutual intelligibility . Vocabulary ( edit ) See also : List of English words of Czech origin Czech vocabulary derives primarily from Slavic , Baltic and other Indo - European roots . Although most verbs have Balto - Slavic origins , pronouns , prepositions and some verbs have wider , Indo - European roots . Some loanwords have been restructured by folk etymology to resemble native Czech words ( hřbitov , `` graveyard '' and listina , `` list '' ) . Most Czech loanwords originated in one of two time periods . Earlier loanwords , primarily from German , Greek and Latin , arrived before the Czech National Revival . More recent loanwords derive primarily from English and French , and also from Hebrew , Arabic and Persian . Many Russian loanwords , principally animal names and naval terms , also exist in Czech . Although older German loanwords were colloquial , recent borrowings from other languages are associated with high culture . During the nineteenth century , words with Greek and Latin roots were rejected in favor of those based on older Czech words and common Slavic roots ; `` music '' is muzyka in Polish and музыка ( muzyka ) in Russian , but in Czech it is hudba . Some Czech words have been borrowed as loanwords into English and other languages -- for example , robot ( from robota , `` labor '' ) and polka ( from polka , `` Polish woman '' or from `` půlka '' `` half '' ) . Standard Czech ( edit ) The modern written standard is directly based on the standardisation during the Czech National Revival in the 1830s , significantly influenced by Josef Jungmann 's Czech - German dictionary published during 1834 -- 1839 . Jungmann used vocabulary of the Bible of Kralice ( 1579 -- 1613 ) period and of the language used by his contemporaries . He borrowed words not present in Czech from other Slavic languages or created neologisms . Phonology ( edit ) Main article : Czech phonology Czech contains ten basic vowel phonemes , and three more found only in loanwords . They are / a / , / ɛ / , / ɪ / , / o / , and / u / , their long counterparts / aː / , / ɛː / , / iː / , / oː / and / uː / , and three diphthongs , / ou̯ / , / au̯ / and / ɛu̯ / . The latter two diphthongs and the long / oː / are exclusive to loanwords . Vowels are never reduced to schwa sounds when unstressed . Each word usually has primary stress on its first syllable , except for enclitics ( minor , monosyllabic , unstressed syllables ) . In all words of more than two syllables , every odd - numbered syllable receives secondary stress . Stress is unrelated to vowel length , and the possibility of stressed short vowels and unstressed long vowels can be confusing to students whose native language combines the features ( such as English ) . Voiced consonants with unvoiced counterparts are unvoiced at the end of a word , or when they are followed by unvoiced consonants . Czech consonants are categorized as `` hard '' , `` neutral '' or `` soft '' : Hard : / d / , / ɡ / , / ɦ / , / k / , / n / , / r / , / t / , / x / Neutral : / b / , / f / , / l / , / m / , / p / , / s / , / v / , / z / Soft : / c / , / ɟ / , / j / , / ɲ / , / r̝ / , / ʃ / , / ts / , / tʃ / , / ʒ / This distinction describes the declension patterns of nouns , which is based on the category of a noun 's ending consonant . Hard consonants may not be followed by i or í in writing , or soft ones by y or ý ( except in loanwords such as kilogram ) . Neutral consonants may take either character . Hard consonants are sometimes known as `` strong '' , and soft ones as `` weak '' . The phoneme represented by the letter ř ( capital Ř ) is considered unique to Czech . It represents the raised alveolar non-sonorant trill ( IPA : ( r̝ ) ) , a sound somewhere between Czech 's r and ž ( example : `` řeka '' ( river ) ( help info ) ) , and is present in Dvořák . The consonants / r / and / l / can be syllabic , acting as syllable nuclei in place of a vowel . This can be difficult for non-native speakers to pronounce , and Strč prst skrz krk ( `` Stick ( your ) finger down ( your ) throat '' ) is a Czech tongue twister . Consonants Labial Alveolar Post - alveolar Palatal Velar Glottal Nasal m n ɲ Plosive voiceless p k voiced d ɟ ( ɡ ) Affricate voiceless t͡s t͡ʃ voiced ( d͡z ) ( d͡ʒ ) Fricative voiceless ( f ) s ʃ x voiced z ʒ ɦ Trill plain r fricative r̝ Approximant l j Vowels A Czech vowel chart Grammar ( edit ) Slavic grammar is fusional ; its nouns , verbs , and adjectives are inflected by phonological processes to modify their meanings and grammatical functions , and the easily separable affixes characteristic of agglutinative languages are limited . Slavic - language inflection is complex and pervasive , inflecting for case , gender and number in nouns and tense , aspect , mood , person and subject number and gender in verbs . Parts of speech include adjectives , adverbs , numbers , interrogative words , prepositions , conjunctions and interjections . Adverbs are primarily formed by taking the final ý or í of an adjective and replacing it with e , ě , or o . Negative statements are formed by adding the affix ne - to the verb of a clause , with one exception : je ( he , she or it is ) becomes není . Sentence and clause structure ( edit ) See also : Czech word order Czech pronouns , nominative case Person Singular Plural 1 . já my 2 . ty vy ( formal ) vy 3 . on ( masculine ) ona ( feminine ) ono ( neuter ) oni ( masculine ) ony ( feminine ) ona ( neuter ) Because Czech uses grammatical case to convey word function in a sentence ( instead of relying on word order , as English does ) , its word order is flexible . As a pro-drop language , in Czech an intransitive sentence can consist of only a verb ; information about its subject is encoded in the verb . Enclitics ( primarily auxiliary verbs and pronouns ) must appear in the second syntactic slot of a sentence , after the first stressed unit . The first slot must contain a subject and object , a main form of a verb , an adverb or a conjunction ( except for the light conjunctions a , `` and '' , i , `` and even '' or ale , `` but '' ) . Czech syntax has a subject -- verb -- object sentence structure . In practice , however , word order is flexible and used for topicalization and focus . Although Czech has a periphrastic passive construction ( like English ) , colloquial word - order changes frequently produce the passive voice . For example , to change `` Peter killed Paul '' to `` Paul was killed by Peter '' the order of subject and object is inverted : Petr zabil Pavla ( `` Peter killed Paul '' ) becomes `` Paul , Peter killed '' ( Pavla zabil Petr ) . Pavla is in the accusative case , the grammatical object ( in this case , the victim ) of the verb . A word at the end of a clause is typically emphasized , unless an upward intonation indicates that the sentence is a question : Pes jí bagetu . -- The dog eats the baguette ( rather than eating something else ) . Bagetu jí pes . -- The dog eats the baguette ( rather than someone else doing so ) . Pes bagetu jí . -- The dog eats the baguette ( rather than doing something else to it ) . Jí pes bagetu ? -- Does the dog eat the baguette ? ( emphasis ambiguous ) In portions of Bohemia ( including Prague ) , questions such as Jí pes bagetu ? without an interrogative word ( such as co , `` what '' or kdo , `` who '' ) are intoned in a slow rise from low to high , quickly dropping to low on the last word or phrase . In Czech syntax , adjectives precede nouns . Relative clauses are introduced by relativizers such as the adjective který , analogous to the English relative pronouns `` which '' , `` that '' , `` who '' and `` whom '' . As with other adjectives , it is declined into the appropriate case ( see Declension below ) to match its associated noun , person and number . Relative clauses follow the noun they modify , and the following is a glossed example : Czech : Chc - i navštív - it univerzit - u , na kter - ou chod - í Jan . Gloss : want-1.SG visit - INF university - SG. ACC , on which - SG. F. ACC attend-3.SG John. SG. NOM English : I want to visit the university that John attends . Declension ( edit ) Main article : Czech declension In Czech , nouns and adjectives are declined into one of seven grammatical cases . Nouns are inflected to indicate their use in a sentence . A nominative -- accusative language , Czech marks subject nouns with nominative case and object nouns with accusative case . The genitive case marks possessive nouns and some types of movement . The remaining cases ( instrumental , locative , vocative and dative ) indicate semantic relationships , such as secondary objects , movement or position ( dative case ) and accompaniment ( instrumental case ) . An adjective 's case agrees with that of the noun it describes . When Czech children learn their language 's declension patterns , the cases are referred to by number : No . Ordinal name ( Czech ) Full name ( Czech ) Case Main usage 1 . první pád nominativ nominative Subjects 2 . druhý pád genitiv genitive Belonging , movement away from something ( or someone ) 3 . třetí pád dativ dative Indirect objects , movement toward something ( or someone ) 4 . čtvrtý pád akuzativ accusative Direct objects 5 . pátý pád vokativ vocative Addressing someone 6 . šestý pád lokál locative Location 7 . sedmý pád instrumentál instrumental Being used for a task ; acting with someone ( or something ) Some Czech grammatical texts order the cases differently , grouping the nominative and accusative ( and the dative and locative ) together because those declension patterns are often identical ; this order accommodates learners with experience in other inflected languages , such as Latin or Russian . This order is nominative , accusative , genitive , dative , locative , instrumental and vocative . Some prepositions require the nouns they modify to take a particular case . The cases assigned by each preposition are based on the physical ( or metaphorical ) direction , or location , conveyed by it . For example , od ( from , away from ) and z ( out of , off ) assign the genitive case . Other prepositions take one of several cases , with their meaning dependent on the case ; na means `` onto '' or `` for '' with the accusative case , but `` on '' with the locative . Examples of declension patterns ( using prepositions ) for a few nouns with adjectives follow . Only one plural example is given , since plural declension patterns are similar across genders . Case Noun / adjective Big dog ( m . ) Small cat ( f . ) Hard wood ( n . ) Young dragons ( pl . ) Nom . velký pes ( big dog ) malá kočka ( small cat ) tvrdé dřevo ( hard wood ) mladí draci ( young dragons ) Gen . z velkého psa ( from the big dog ) z malé kočky ( from the small cat ) z tvrdého dřeva ( from the hard wood ) z mladých draků ( from the young dragons ) Dat . k velkému psovi ( to the big dog ) k malé kočce ( to the small cat ) ke tvrdému dřevu ( to the hard wood ) ke mladým drakům ( to the young dragons ) Acc . na velkého psa ( for the big dog ) na malou kočku ( for the small cat ) na tvrdé dřevo ( for the hard wood ) na mladé draky ( for the young dragons ) Voc . velký pse ! ( big dog ! ) malá kočko ! ( small cat ! ) tvrdé dřevo ! ( hard wood ! ) mladí draci ! ( young dragons ! ) Loc . o velkém psovi ( about the big dog ) o malé kočce ( about the small cat ) o tvrdém dřevě ( about the hard wood ) o mladých dracích ( about the young dragons ) Ins . s velkým psem ( with the big dog ) s malou kočkou ( with the small cat ) s tvrdým dřevem ( with the hard wood ) s mladými draky ( with the young dragons ) This is a glossed example of a sentence using several cases : Czech : Nes - l js - em krabic - i do dom - u se sv - ým přítel - em . Gloss : carry - SG. M. PST be-1.SG box - SG. ACC into house - SG. GEN with own - SG. INS friend - SG. INS English : I carried the box into the house with my friend . Czech distinguishes three genders -- masculine , feminine , and neuter -- and the masculine gender is subdivided into animate and inanimate . With few exceptions , feminine nouns in the nominative case end in - a , - e , or - ost ; neuter nouns in - o , - e , or - í , and masculine nouns in a consonant . Adjectives agree in gender and animacy ( for masculine nouns in the accusative or genitive singular and the nominative plural ) with the nouns they modify . The main effect of gender in Czech is the difference in noun and adjective declension , but other effects include past - tense verb endings : for example , dělal ( he did , or made ) ; dělala ( she did , or made ) and dělalo ( it did , or made ) . Nouns are also inflected for number , distinguishing between singular and plural . Typical of a Slavic language , Czech cardinal numbers one through four allow the nouns and adjectives they modify to take any case , but numbers over five place these nouns and adjectives in the genitive case when the entire expression is in nominative or accusative case . The Czech koruna is an example of this feature ; it is shown here as the subject of a hypothetical sentence , and declined as genitive for numbers five and up . English Czech one crown jedna koruna two crowns dvě koruny three crowns tři koruny four crowns čtyři koruny five crowns pět korun Numerical words decline for case and , for numbers one and two , for gender . Numbers one through five are shown below as examples , and have some of the most exceptions among Czech numbers . The number one has declension patterns identical to those of the demonstrative pronoun , to . 5 Nominative jeden ( male ) jedna ( female ) jedno ( neuter ) dva ( male ) dvě ( female , neuter ) tři čtyři pět Genitive jednoho ( male ) jedné ( female ) jednoho ( neuter ) dvou tří čtyř pěti Dative jednomu ( male ) jedné ( female ) jednomu ( neuter ) dvěma třem čtyřem pěti Accusative jednoho ( male an . ) jeden ( male in . ) jednu ( female ) jedno ( neuter ) dva ( male ) dvě ( female , neuter ) tři čtyři pět Locative jednom ( male ) jedné ( female ) jednom ( neuter ) dvou třech čtyřech pěti Instrumental jedním ( male ) jednou ( female ) jedním ( neuter ) dvěma třemi čtyřmi pěti Although Czech 's grammatical numbers are singular and plural , several residuals of dual forms remain . Some nouns for paired body parts use a historical dual form to express plural in some cases : ruka ( hand ) -- ruce ( nominative ) ; noha ( leg ) -- nohama ( instrumental ) , nohou ( genitive / locative ) ; oko ( eye ) -- oči , and ucho ( ear ) -- uši . While two of these nouns are neuter in their singular forms , all plural forms are considered feminine ; their gender is relevant to their associated adjectives and verbs . These forms are plural semantically , used for any non-singular count , as in mezi čtyřma očima ( face to face , lit . among four eyes ) . The plural number paradigms of these nouns are actually a mixture of historical dual and plural forms . For example , nohy ( legs ; nominative / accusative ) is a standard plural form of this type of noun . Verb conjugation ( edit ) Main articles : Czech conjugation and Morphological classification of Czech verbs Czech verb conjugation is less complex than noun and adjective declension because it codes for fewer categories . Verbs agree with their subjects in person ( first , second or third ) and number ( singular or plural ) , and are conjugated for tense ( past , present or future ) . For example , the conjugated verb mluvíme ( we speak ) is in the present tense and first - person plural ; it is distinguished from other conjugations of the infinitive mluvit by its ending , me . See also : Grammatical aspect in Slavic languages Typical of Slavic languages , Czech marks its verbs for one of two grammatical aspects : perfective and imperfective . Most verbs are part of inflected aspect pairs -- for example , koupit ( perfective ) and kupovat ( imperfective ) . Although the verbs ' meaning is similar , in perfective verbs the action is completed and in imperfective verbs it is ongoing . This is distinct from past and present tense , and any Czech verb of either aspect can be conjugated into any of its three tenses . Aspect describes the state of the action at the time specified by the tense . The verbs of most aspect pairs differ in one of two ways : by prefix or by suffix . In prefix pairs , the perfective verb has an added prefix -- for example , the imperfective psát ( to write , to be writing ) compared with the perfective napsat ( to write down , to finish writing ) . The most common prefixes are na - , o - , po - , s - , u - , vy - , z - and za - . In suffix pairs , a different infinitive ending is added to the perfective stem ; for example , the perfective verbs koupit ( to buy ) and prodat ( to sell ) have the imperfective forms kupovat and prodávat . Imperfective verbs may undergo further morphology to make other imperfective verbs ( iterative and frequentative forms ) , denoting repeated or regular action . The verb jít ( to go ) has the iterative form chodit ( to go repeatedly ) and the frequentative form chodívat ( to go regularly ) . Many verbs have only one aspect , and verbs describing continual states of being -- být ( to be ) , chtít ( to want ) , moct ( to be able to ) , ležet ( to lie down , to be lying down ) -- have no perfective form . Conversely , verbs describing immediate states of change -- for example , otěhotnět ( to become pregnant ) and nadchnout se ( to become enthusiastic ) -- have no imperfective aspect . Although Czech 's use of present and future tense is largely similar to that of English , the language uses past tense to represent the English present perfect and past perfect ; ona běžela could mean she ran , she has run or she had run . Conjugation of být in future tense Person Singular Plural 1 . budu budeme 2 . budeš budete 3 . bude budou In some contexts , Czech 's perfective present ( which differs from the English present perfect ) implies future action ; in others , it connotes habitual action . As a result , the language has a proper future tense to minimize ambiguity . The future tense does not involve conjugating the verb describing an action to be undertaken in the future ; instead , the future form of být ( as shown in the table at left ) is placed before the infinitive ( for example , budu jíst -- `` I will eat '' ) . This conjugation is not followed by být itself , so future - oriented expressions involving nouns , adjectives , or prepositions ( rather than verbs ) omit být . `` I will be happy '' is translated as Budu šťastný ( not Budu být šťastný ) . Conditional form of koupit ( to buy ) Person Singular Plural 1 . koupil / a bych koupili / y bychom 2 . koupil / a bys koupili / y byste 3 . koupil / a / o by koupili / y / a by The infinitive form ends in t ( archaically , ti ) . It is the form found in dictionaries and the form that follows auxiliary verbs ( for example , můžu tě slyšet -- `` I can hear you '' ) . Czech verbs have three grammatical moods : indicative , imperative and conditional . The imperative mood adds specific endings for each of three person ( or number ) categories : - Ø / - i / - ej for second - person singular , - te / - ete / - ejte for second - person plural and - me / - eme / - ejme for first - person plural . The conditional mood is formed with a particle after the past - tense verb . This mood indicates possible events , expressed in English as `` I would '' or `` I wish '' . Most Czech verbs fall into one of five classes , which determine their conjugation patterns . The future tense of být would be classified as a Class I verb because of its endings . Examples of the present tense of each class and some common irregular verbs follow in the tables below : Class I Class II Class III Class IV Class V Definition to carry to print to wander to suffer to do , to make Infinitive nést tisknout putovat trpět dělat 1st p. sg . nesu tisknu putuji trpím dělám 2nd p. sg . neseš tiskneš putuješ trpíš děláš 3rd p. sg . nese tiskne putuje trpí dělá 1st p. pl . neseme tiskneme putujeme trpíme děláme 2nd p. pl . nesete tisknete putujete trpíte děláte 3rd p. pl . nesou tisknou putují trpí dělají Irregular verbs Definition to be to want to eat to know Infinitive být chtít jíst vědět 1st p. sg . jsem chci jím vím 2nd p. sg . jsi chceš jíš víš 3rd p. sg . je chce jí ví 1st p. pl . jsme chceme jíme víme 2nd p. pl . jste chcete jíte víte 3rd p. pl . jsou chtějí jedí vědí Orthography ( edit ) The handwritten Czech alphabet Main article : Czech orthography See also : Czech Braille Czech has one of the most phonemic orthographies of all European languages . Its thirty - one graphemes represent thirty sounds ( in most dialects , i and y have the same sound ) , and it contains only one digraph : ch , which follows h in the alphabet . As a result , some of its characters have been used by phonologists to denote corresponding sounds in other languages . The characters q , w and x appear only in foreign words . The háček ( ˇ ) is used with certain letters to form new characters : š , ž , and č , as well as ň , ě , ř , ť , and ď ( the latter five uncommon outside Czech ) . The last two letters are sometimes written with a comma above ( ʼ , an abbreviated háček ) because of their height . The character ó exists only in loanwords and onomatopoeia . Unlike most European languages , Czech distinguishes vowel length ; long vowels are indicated by an acute accent or , occasionally with ů , a ring . Long u is usually written ú at the beginning of a word or morpheme ( úroda , neúrodný ) and ů elsewhere , except for loanwords ( skútr ) or onomatopoeia ( bú ) . Long vowels and ě are not considered separate letters . Czech typographical features not associated with phonetics generally resemble those of most Latin European languages , including English . Proper nouns , honorifics , and the first letters of quotations are capitalized , and punctuation is typical of other Latin European languages . Writing of ordinal numerals is similar to most European languages . The Czech language uses a decimal comma instead of a decimal point . When writing a long number , spaces between every three numbers ( e.g. between hundreds and thousands ) may be used for better orientation in handwritten texts , but not in decimal places , like in English . The number 1,234,567.8910 may be written as 1234567 , 8910 or 1 234 567 , 8910 . Ordinal numbers ( 1st ) use a point as in German ( 1 . ) . In proper noun phrases ( except personal names ) , only the first word is capitalized ( Pražský hrad , Prague Castle ) . Sample text ( edit ) 1846 sample of printed Czech According to Article 1 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights : Czech : Všichni lidé se rodí svobodní a sobě rovní co do důstojnosti a práv . Jsou nadáni rozumem a svědomím a mají spolu jednat v duchu bratrství . English : `` All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights . They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood .

Amado Carrillo became known as `` El Señor de Los Cielos '' ( `` The Lord of the Skies '' ) , because of the large fleet of jets he used to transport drugs . He was also known for laundering money via Colombia to finance his large fleet of airplanes . He died in July 1997 , in a Mexican hospital , after undergoing extensive plastic surgery to change his appearance . In his final days Carrillo was being tracked by Mexican and U.S. authorities .

He was the first of seven sons ; the others were : Cipriano , Enrique B. , Vicente , José Cruz , Enrique C. , and Jorge . He also had five sisters : María Luisa , Berthila , Flor , Alicia , and Aurora . These children were the nieces and nephews of Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo , a / k / a `` Don Neto '' , the Guadalajara Cartel leader . Amado got his start in the drug business under the tutelage of his uncle Ernesto and later brought in his brothers , and eventually his son Vicente José Carrillo Leyva . Carrillo 's father died in April 1986 . Carillo 's brother , Cipriano Carrillo Fuentes , died in 1989 under mysterious circumstances . Career ( edit ) Initially , Carrillo was part of the Guadalajara Cartel , sent to Ojinaga , Chihuahua to oversee the cocaine shipments of his uncle , Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo ( `` Don Neto '' ) , and to learn about border operations from Pablo Acosta Villarreal ( `` El Zorro de Ojinaga '' ; `` The Ojinaga Fox '' ) and Rafael Aguilar Guajardo . Later Carrillo worked with Pablo Escobar and the Cali Cartel smuggling drugs from Colombia to Mexico and the United States . He worked with El Chapo Joaquin Guzman Loera , The Arellano Felix family and The Beltran Leyva Organization . During his tenure , Carrillo reportedly built a multibillion - dollar drug empire . It was estimated that he may have made over US $25 billion in revenue in his career . Death ( edit ) The pressure to capture Carrillo intensified among U.S. and Mexican authorities , and perhaps for this reason , Carrillo underwent facial plastic surgery and abdominal liposuction to change his appearance on July 4 , 1997 , at Santa Mónica Hospital in Mexico City . However , during the operation , he died of complications apparently caused either by a medication or a malfunctioning respirator . Two of Carrillo 's bodyguards were in the operating room during the procedure . On November 7 , 1997 , the two physicians who performed the surgery on Fuentes were found dead , encased in concrete inside steel drums , with their bodies showing signs of torture . Juárez Cartel after Carrillo ( edit ) On the night of August 3 , 1997 , at around 9 : 30 p.m. , four drug traffickers walked into a restaurant in Ciudad Juárez , pulled out their guns , and opened fire on five diners , killing them instantly . Police estimated that more than 100 bullet casings were found at the crime scene . According to a report issued by the Los Angeles Times , four men went to the restaurant carrying at least two AK - 47 assault rifles while others stood at the doorstep . On their way out , the gunmen claimed another victim : Armando Olague , a prison official and off - duty law enforcement officer , who was gunned down outside the restaurant after he had walked from a nearby bar to investigate the shooting . Reportedly , Olague had run into the restaurant from across the street with a gun in his hand to check out the commotion . It was later determined that Olague was also a known lieutenant of the Juarez cartel . Mexican authorities declined to comment on the motives behind the killing , stating the shootout was not linked to the death of Amado Carrillo Fuentes . Nonetheless , it was later stated that the perpetrators were gunmen of the Tijuana Cartel . Although confrontations between narcotraficantes were commonplace in Ciudad Juárez , they rarely occurred in public places . What happened in the restaurant threatened to usher in a new era of border crime in the city . In Ciudad Juárez , the PGR seized warehouses they believed the cartel used to store weapons and cocaine ; they also seized over 60 properties all over Mexico belonging to Carrillo , and began an investigation into his dealings with police and government officials . Officials also froze bank accounts amounting to $10 billion belonging to Carrillo . In April 2009 , Mexican authorities arrested Carillo 's son , Vicente Carrillo Leyva . Funeral ( edit ) Carrillo was given a large and expensive funeral in Guamuchilito , Sinaloa . In 2006 , Governor Eduardo Bours asked the federal government to tear down Carrillo 's mansion in Hermosillo , Sonora . The mansion , dubbed `` The Palace of a Thousand and One Nights '' , although still standing , remains unoccupied . Media portrayals ( edit ) In El Chapo , the 2017 Netflix and Univision TV series about the life of Joaquín `` El Chapo '' Guzmán , Fuentes is portrayed by Rodrigo Abed . El Señor de los Cielos ( 2013 ) , El Señor de los Cielos 2 ( 2014 ) , El Señor de los Cielos 3 ( 2015 ) , and El Señor de los Cielos 4 , aired as part of Telemundo 's nighttime programming , stars the Mexican actor Rafael Amaya as Aurelio Casillas ( a fictionalized version of Amado Carrillo Fuentes ) . In the Netflix Original series Narcos , Fuentes is portrayed by José María Yazpik .

Rick Allen ( drummer ) - wikipedia Rick Allen ( drummer ) Jump to : navigation , search Rick Allen Allen live with Def Leppard on 13 August 2008 in Winnipeg Background information Birth name Richard John Cyril Allen Also known as The Thunder God ( 1963 - 11 - 01 ) 1 November 1963 ( age 53 ) Dronfield , Derbyshire , England Genres Hard rock , heavy metal , glam metal Occupation ( s ) Musician Instruments Drums , percussion , vocals Years active 1978 -- present Labels Island , Mercury , Polygram Associated acts Def Leppard Website rickallen.com Richard John Cyril `` Rick '' Allen ( born 1 November 1963 ) is an English drummer who has played for the hard rock band Def Leppard since 1978 . He overcame the amputation of his left arm in 1985 and continued to play with the band , which subsequently went on to its most commercially successful phase . He is known as `` The Thunder God '' by fans . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Accident and recovery 3 Gear 4 Raven Drum Foundation 5 One Hand Drum Company 6 Side projects 7 Personal life 8 References 9 External links Early Life ( edit ) Allen started playing drums at the age of 9 . He performed in bands called Grad , Smokey Blue , Rampant , and the Johnny Kalendar Band . When Allen was 14 , his mother replied on his behalf to an ad placed by a band called `` Def Leppard '' looking for a drummer to replace Tony Kenning ( `` Leppard loses skins '' was the ad 's headline ) . Later , on 1 November 1978 , his fifteenth birthday , Allen joined the band . In 1979 , he dropped out of school ( other band members left their jobs around the same time ) to concentrate on a career in music . In September 1979 , they opened for Sammy Hagar at London 's Hammersmith Odeon . Subsequently , Def Leppard played shows as a support act for AC / DC during October and November 1979 . Allen celebrated his 16th birthday with a performance at the Hammersmith Odeon . On 14 March 1980 , the band released their first album , On Through the Night . Since their first album , Allen still continues to record and tour with the band . Accident and recovery ( edit ) `` What I 've experienced through losing my arm , I would n't change . The human spirit is so strong . '' Rick Allen On the afternoon of 31 December 1984 , Allen was involved in a car accident with his girlfriend Miriam Barendsen in the English countryside a few miles west of Sheffield . While trying to pass another car at a high speed , he lost control of his Corvette C4 , which hit a dry stone wall and entered a field . He was thrown from the car because his seatbelt had been improperly fastened , causing his left arm to be severed , while his girlfriend suffered head injuries , resulting in grade 2 concussion and brain swelling ; she also suffered neck and spine injuries from severe whiplash . Doctors initially reattached Allen 's arm , but because of an infection , it had to be re-amputated . His right shoulder was also severely broken in the accident . Allen initially had doubts about continuing to play with the band , but was encouraged by the other members to continue . Allen , along with a few engineers , started to design a drum set to assist his drumming . At the time , he was still able to play some drum rhythms with one hand and use his left leg , typically for hi - hat pedals in common drum kits , to play the snare drum . Then - Status Quo drummer Jeff Rich helped and encouraged Allen during his convalescence , and designed an electronic kit Allen could play using only one arm . The Ludwig acoustic drum kit he used on earlier albums High ' n ' Dry and Pyromania was later given away by Def Leppard 's one - time management . Electronic drum manufacturer Simmons created a kit to their specifications , and Allen made his post-accident debut in 1986 at the Monsters of Rock festival at Castle Donington . Gear ( edit ) Allen has used custom - manufactured cable routing by Whirlwind . He uses four electronic pedals for his left foot to play the pieces he used to play with his left arm , which from left to right trigger sounds of a closing hi - hat , bass drum , snare drum , and a tom drum . He is ranked No. 7 on the UK website Gigwise in The Greatest Drummers of All Time list . On 16 October 2009 , Yamaha announced the addition of Rick Allen to their artist roster . Allen plays Yamaha Oak Custom drums with a matching subkick . Along with Yamaha Oak Custom drums , Allen also uses Remo drumheads ( usually he has coated ambassadors on his drums and a clear powerstroke 3 on his bass drum ) , Zildjian cymbals ( mostly K customs and A customs ) , and a LP rock cowbell for Rock of Ages . Rick Allen had used Vater drumsticks and Zildjian drumsticks from the 1980s until 1994 . In 1995 up to the present , he uses Easton Ahead drumsticks . Raven drum Foundation ( edit ) Allen and his wife Lauren Monroe are the co-founders of The Raven Drum Foundation , a charity located in Malibu , California , with a mission to serve , educate , and empower veterans and people in crisis . The Raven Drum Foundation commonly works to help individuals and communities in crisis through healing arts programs , drum circle events , and collaborative partnerships . Allen described the foundations involvement with Camp Kilpatrick in 2009 : Rhythm is such a big part of their culture and their own way of communicating , so we were able to go in there and design a program around them . It developed into drum council , which is an ongoing program that we provided for the camp . We had tremendous success . One Hand drum Company ( edit ) The One Hand Drum Company was created by Allen to assist in providing awareness and funding for his Raven Drum Foundation . Currently , the primary focus of the One Hand Drum Company is promoting StikRick , a drawing by Rick of a one - armed drummer that he sometimes uses with his autograph . The StikRick site sells T - shirts , hats , and other items with the StikRick drawing along with a `` Life Is Great ! ! Be A Rockstar ! ! '' slogan . Proceeds from the One Hand Drum Company go to support the Raven Drum Foundation charity . Side projects ( edit ) In May and June 2000 , Allen played two shows with the Mark Mason Project , featuring guitarist Mark Englert previously of Dramarama . Allen has written music with his wife Lauren as well as played on her albums . In November 2004 , Allen collaborated with Krishna Das in the recording of a CD entitled All One . Personal Life ( edit ) Allen was married to his first wife Stacy from 1991 to 2000 ; they had a daughter in 1997 . In 1995 , Allen was arrested for spousal abuse . He pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced on 6 August 1996 to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings , sought counselling , and served 30 days on a graffiti - removal work crew . They divorced in 2000 . Allen married again , on 10 October 2003 , to Lauren Monroe . On 1 December 2010 , Monroe gave birth to a daughter .

During the gold rush , the area that is now composed of Redding was called Poverty Flats . In 1868 the first land agent for the Central Pacific Railroad , a former Sacramento politician named Benjamin Bernard Redding , bought property in Poverty Flats on behalf of the railroad so that it could build a northern terminus there . In the process of building the terminus , the railroad also built a town in the same area , which they named Redding in honor of Benjamin Redding . In 1874 there was a dispute over the name by local legislators and it was changed for a time to Reading , in order to honor Pierson B. Reading , who founded the community of Shasta , but the name was officially changed back to Redding by 1880 . It has been called Redding ever since . History ( edit ) Indigenous culture ( edit ) Before European settlers came to the area , it was inhabited by a tribe of Native Americans called the Wintu . At their height , the Wintu had as many as 239 villages in the Shasta County area . First settlers ( edit ) Although Europeans had been to California as early as 1542 , when Juan Cabrillo sailed to what is now the San Diego Bay , the indigenous Indians were probably the only inhabitants of far Northern California region until Russian fur trappers came through the area in 1815 . The first European settlement in the area was established in 1844 by Pierson B. Reading , an early California pioneer who received a Rancho Buena Ventura Mexican land grant for 26,632 acres ( 10,778 ha ) that is now covered by Redding and Cottonwood , California . At the time , it was the northernmost nonnative settlement in California . Founding of Redding ( edit ) During the gold rush , the area that is now Redding was called Poverty Flats . In 1868 the first land agent for the Central Pacific Railroad , a former Sacramento politician named Benjamin Bernard Redding , bought property in Poverty Flats on behalf of the railroad for a northern terminus . In the process of building the terminus , the railroad also built the town of Redding which was officially incorporated on October 4 , 1887 . Early 20th century ( edit ) In the early twentieth century the town 's economic growth was spurred by the significant copper and iron mineral extraction industry nearby . However , the mining industry eventually declined , causing the economy and population to falter by 1920 . It recovered in the thirties as the economy boomed due to the construction of Shasta Dam to the northwest . The building of the dam , which was completed in 1945 , caused Redding 's population to nearly double , also spurring the growth and development of other towns in the area . Mid to late 20th century ( 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 . ( September 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Redding continued to grow steadily in the nineteen fifties due to the region 's growing lumber industry and tourism brought about by the newly completed dam . The constructions of Whiskeytown and Keswick dams also helped boost the economy by bringing new workers to the area . Highway Interstate 5 was built during the sixties and seventies , which added to development and tourism in the region . Growth in Redding during the 60s and 70s was also caused by annexation of an area east of the Sacramento River made up of the unincorporated community of Enterprise . Enterprise residents voted to support the annexation primarily to acquire less expensive electricity via Redding 's municipal utility , which receives power from the dam . During the 1970s , the lumber industry suffered from decline . Lumber mills in the area closed down and heavily impacted the Redding area . Things later picked up , due to a retail and housing boom in the late 1980s that continued until the mid-1990s . 21st century ( edit ) In 2017 , the city adopted a new flag after holding a redesign contest . In late July 2018 , the Carr Fire in Shasta county seriously impacted the Redding area with the destruction of at least 1100 buildings , with several thousand more threatened , and 38,000 people instructed to evacuate . Geography and Climate ( edit ) Location ( edit ) Redding is located at 40 ° 34 ′ 36 '' N 122 ° 22 ′ 13 '' W  /  40.57667 ° N 122.37028 ° W  / 40.57667 ; - 122.37028 ( 40.576606 , − 122.370325 ) . According to the United States Census Bureau , the city has a total area of 61.2 square miles ( 159 square kilometers ) . 59.6 square miles ( 154 km ) of it is land , and 1.5 square miles ( 3.9 km ) of it ( 2.50 % ) is beneath water . Redding is located at the very northwestern end of the Central Valley , which transitions into the Cascade foothills . The city is surrounded by mountains to the north , east , and west and fertile farm land to the south . Outermost parts of the city are part of the Cascade foothills , whereas southern and central areas are in the Sacramento Valley . The elevation in Redding is 495 feet ( 151 meters ) on average , whereas anywhere to the north , east , or west of downtown ranges between 550 feet ( 170 m ) and 800 feet ( 240 m ) feet . Southern portions range between 400 feet ( 120 m ) and 500 feet ( 150 m ) . The Shasta Dam on the Sacramento River provides a considerable level of flood protection for Redding . The dam is capable of controlling flows up to 79,000 cubic feet ( 7,300 cubic meters ) per second . The flow rate exceeded this threshold in both 1970 and 1974 . Soils in and around town are composed mostly of clay or gravelly loam texture , with red or brown mineral horizons . They are slightly or moderately acidic in their natural state .

( September 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) There are several rare and endangered species in Redding and its immediate vicinity . The Redding Redevelopment Plan EIR notes the California State listed endangered species , slender Orcutt grass ( Orcuttia tenuis ) , occurs in eastern Redding near the municipal airport , where vernal pools are known to exist . This endemic grass is a Federal Candidate for listing and is endangered throughout its range , confined to several populations , and seriously threatened by agriculture , overgrazing , and residential development . Vernal pools provide the preferred habitat for this plant , which the California Native Plant Society considers a rare and endangered species . These same vernal pools also support federally protected species such as the federally threatened vernal pool fairy shrimp ( Branchinecta lynchi ) . Climate ( edit ) Redding has a hot - summer Mediterranean climate ( Köppen : Csa ) , with very hot , dry summers and cool , wet winters . Winter ( October -- April ) provides the most precipitation of any season in Redding -- the weather tends to be either rainy or foggy and at times , snow occurs . Summers are hot and dry , but rain is possible , usually with a thunderstorm . The average daily maximum temperature in July stays near 100 degrees Fahrenheit ( 38 degrees Celsius ) . The highest official recorded temperature in Redding was 118 ° F ( 48 ° C ) on July 20 , 1988 . That was recorded at the nearby Redding airport . Some people in town recorded as high as 122 ° F ( 50 ° C ) that same day . Redding has an average possible sunshine of 88 % , the second - highest percentage ( after Yuma , Arizona ) of any US city . The city receives an average of 4.8 inches ( 12 centimeters ) of snow annually . It rarely gets sleet or freezing rain . Frost occurs commonly in December through February , less often in March or November . In spring , rain is common . The city is located near the southernmost point of the influence of the westerlies , and it therefore gets much more rain than most places in the Sacramento Valley ; temperature differentials between land and sea cause moist air from the latter to flow over the city , producing precipitation , cloud and fog in the winter . The direction of this wind reverses in the summer , as hot , high - pressure air flows from land to sea , making the area very dry . Tornadoes are extremely rare ; flooding occurs only around the area near the Sacramento River . The coldest temperature recorded in Redding was 17 ° F ( − 8 ° C ) . hide Climate data for Redding Municipal Airport ( 1981 -- 2010 ) Month Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Year Record high ° F ( ° C ) 80 ( 27 ) 83 ( 28 ) 88 ( 31 ) 96 ( 36 ) 106 ( 41 ) 117 ( 47 ) 118 ( 48 ) 115 ( 46 ) 116 ( 47 ) 105 ( 41 ) 88 ( 31 ) 78 ( 26 ) 118 ( 48 ) Average high ° F ( ° C ) 55.0 ( 12.8 ) 59.7 ( 15.4 ) 64.5 ( 18.1 ) 70.5 ( 21.4 ) 80.8 ( 27.1 ) 90.2 ( 32.3 ) 98.4 ( 36.9 ) 96.6 ( 35.9 ) 90.4 ( 32.4 ) 77.8 ( 25.4 ) 62.5 ( 16.9 ) 54.5 ( 12.5 ) 75.1 ( 23.9 ) Daily mean ° F ( ° C ) 45.7 ( 7.6 ) 49.5 ( 9.7 ) 53.7 ( 12.1 ) 58.3 ( 14.6 ) 67.3 ( 19.6 ) 75.9 ( 24.4 ) 82.2 ( 27.9 ) 79.8 ( 26.6 ) 74.1 ( 23.4 ) 63.6 ( 17.6 ) 51.7 ( 10.9 ) 45.4 ( 7.4 ) 62.3 ( 16.8 ) Average low ° F ( ° C ) 36.5 ( 2.5 ) 39.3 ( 4.1 ) 42.9 ( 6.1 ) 46.1 ( 7.8 ) 53.8 ( 12.1 ) 61.6 ( 16.4 ) 66.0 ( 18.9 ) 63.0 ( 17.2 ) 57.7 ( 14.3 ) 49.4 ( 9.7 ) 40.9 ( 4.9 ) 36.3 ( 2.4 ) 49.2 ( 9.6 ) Record low ° F ( ° C ) 16 ( − 9 ) 21 ( − 6 ) 28 ( − 2 ) 28 ( − 2 ) 34 ( 1 ) 42 ( 6 ) 53 ( 12 ) 50 ( 10 ) 40 ( 4 ) 33 ( 1 ) 22 ( − 6 ) 16 ( − 9 ) 16 ( − 9 ) Average precipitation inches ( mm ) 5.96 ( 151.4 ) 5.51 ( 140 ) 4.37 ( 111 ) 2.48 ( 63 ) 1.85 ( 47 ) 0.69 ( 17.5 ) 0.09 ( 2.3 ) 0.18 ( 4.6 ) 0.64 ( 16.3 ) 2.10 ( 53.3 ) 4.48 ( 113.8 ) 6.27 ( 159.3 ) 34.62 ( 879.5 ) Average snowfall inches ( cm ) 1.4 ( 3.6 ) 0.6 ( 1.5 ) 0.2 ( 0.5 ) 0 ( 0 ) 0 ( 0 ) 0 ( 0 ) 0 ( 0 ) 0 ( 0 ) 0 ( 0 ) 0 ( 0 ) 0.1 ( 0.3 ) 3.2 ( 8.1 ) 5.5 ( 14 ) Average precipitation days 13.1 8.7 12.3 7.9 7.2 4.0 0.6 0.9 2.1 4.1 6.8 10.2 77.9 Mean monthly sunshine hours 226 256 312 351 395 423 451 421 338 314 251 204 3,942 Source : Demographics ( edit ) Historical population Census Pop . % ± 1880 600 -- 1890 1,821 203.5 % 1900 2,946 61.8 % 1910 3,572 21.2 % 1920 2,962 − 17.1 % 1930 4,188 41.4 % 1940 8,109 93.6 % 1950 10,256 26.5 % 1960 12,773 24.5 % 1970 16,659 30.4 % 1980 42,103 152.7 % 66,462 57.9 % 2000 80,865 21.7 % 89,861 11.1 % Est. 2016 91,808 2.2 % U.S. Decennial Census The 2010 United States Census reported that Redding had a population of 89,861 .

After successfully collecting a bone fragment , the team 's survivors barely escape the island following attacks by the Mosasaurus and Tyrannosaurus rex . Three years later in 2018 , a U.S. Senate hearing in Washington , D.C. debates whether Isla Nublar 's dinosaurs should be saved from an impending volcanic eruption . Mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm testifies that the dinosaurs should be allowed to perish to correct John Hammond 's mistake of cloning them . Meanwhile , Jurassic World 's former operations manager Claire Dearing has established the Dinosaur Protection Group to save the animals . After the Senate rules against rescuing the dinosaurs , Hammond 's former partner , Benjamin Lockwood , summons Claire Dearing to his Northern California estate . Lockwood and his aide , Eli Mills , reveal a plan to relocate the dinosaurs to a new island sanctuary . Claire is needed to help reactivate the park 's dinosaur tracking system to locate the animals , particularly Blue , the last living Velociraptor . Although they are estranged , Claire recruits Jurassic World 's former Velociraptor trainer and Blue 's alpha , Owen Grady , to help capture her . On Isla Nublar , Claire and former park technician Franklin Webb get the tracking system online . Owen , paleo - veterinarian Zia Rodriguez , and a mercenary team led by Ken Wheatley search for Blue . On finding her , the encounter escalates , resulting in a mercenary shooting Blue and Wheatley tranquilizing Owen . The mercenaries take Zia so she can treat Blue 's injury . Their ship departs for the U.S. mainland as the animals left behind die in the eruption . Claire , Franklin , and Owen sneak aboard in time and assist Zia in transfusing Blue with Tyrannosaurus blood . The group now realize the captured dinosaurs were never being transported to a new island and are for another purpose . Back at the estate , Lockwood 's orphaned pre-teen granddaughter Maisie overhears Mills and auctioneer Gunnar Eversol secretly planning to auction the captured dinosaurs on the black market . They will also unveil the Indoraptor , a new genetically - engineered dinosaur created by geneticist Dr. Henry Wu using Indominus rex and Velociraptor DNA . Wu wants Blue 's DNA to create an enhanced Indoraptor , unaware that Blue 's blood is contaminated . After Maisie informs Lockwood about the auction , he confronts Mills , who murders him . Maisie is later revealed to have been cloned from Lockwood 's deceased daughter and is the reason John Hammond , who opposed human cloning , ended their partnership . The dinosaurs are transported to Lockwood 's estate and caged . Zia and Franklin evade capture , but Owen and Claire are apprehended and confined . Owen incites a Stygimoloch into breaking open their cell . They find Maisie who leads them to the auction where the Indoraptor is being sold despite Wu 's protests that it is a prototype . Owen disrupts the proceedings by luring the Stygimoloch into the room . In the ensuing chaos , Wheatley tranquilizes the Indoraptor to extract a tooth as a trophy , but it feigns sedation and escapes , killing him , Eversol , and others . The Indoraptor hunts Owen , Claire , and Maisie throughout the mansion . Zia releases Blue , who attacks the Indoraptor , causing it to fall through a glass roof to its death . When a hydrogen cyanide gas leak threatens the caged animals , Maisie is unable to let them die and frees them despite Owen 's warning . Mills is killed and the Indominus bone is destroyed by the Tyrannosaurus . Owen , Claire , Maisie , Zia , and Franklin get away safely , while Blue and the other dinosaurs escape . In a new U.S. Senate hearing , Dr. Malcolm declares the beginning of a Neo-Jurassic Age where humans and dinosaurs must learn to coexist . The closing scenes show the freed dinosaurs roaming wilderness and outer urban areas . Cast Main article : List of Jurassic Park characters Chris Pratt as Owen Grady : A Navy veteran and former Velociraptor handler for Jurassic World . Bryce Dallas Howard as Claire Dearing : Jurassic World 's former operations manager , now a dinosaur - rights activist , who has founded the Dinosaur Protection Group in San Francisco to save Isla Nublar 's surviving dinosaurs . Rafe Spall as Eli Mills : Lockwood 's ambitious assistant who recruits Owen and Claire to rescue the dinosaurs . Speaking of his character 's actions over the course of the film , Spall noted that , `` Ambition is such a powerful emotion , you can get wrapped up in it and end up doing things in order to succeed . This character believes he is doing right . He has been entrusted with pushing Lockwood 's fortune into the future and making it survive after he dies . Mills feels he is simply doing what he was asked to do . '' Justice Smith as Franklin Webb : A former IT technician for Jurassic World who is now the Dinosaur Protection Group 's systems analyst and hacker . Daniella Pineda as Zia Rodriguez : A former Marine who is now the Dinosaur Protection Group 's paleoveterinarian . James Cromwell as Sir Benjamin Lockwood : John Hammond 's former partner in developing the technology to clone dinosaurs . Toby Jones as Gunnar Eversol : An auctioneer host at Lockwood Estate who sells the Isla Nublar dinosaurs for profit . In an interview , Jones likened his character to that of `` a rogue arms dealer ; he sees profits in selling these creatures as weapons . He is totally morally neutral about whatever he is selling . He is only interested in whether or not it will make him a profit . '' Ted Levine as Ken Wheatley : A seasoned mercenary who commands the rescue operation on Isla Nublar . B.D. Wong as Henry Wu : The former head geneticist of both Jurassic World and the original Jurassic Park . Speaking of his character 's actions , Wong stated : `` I do think he 's motivated by his love for science and his own ego , which is well supported by his massive achievements ... I think he turns a blind eye to the human suffering that comes as a result because he thinks he 's looking at some bigger picture . '' Isabella Sermon as Maisie Lockwood : Lockwood 's juvenile granddaughter and legal ward following her parents ' deaths . Geraldine Chaplin as Iris : The Lockwood Estate housekeeper , Maisie 's nanny , and protector of the Lockwood family secrets . Jeff Goldblum as Ian Malcolm : An expert in chaos theory who once consulted for InGen 's Jurassic Park . In a podcast interview , Goldblum spoke of his role `` It 's small ... who knows , they may cut me out entirely ! But if I stay in , I 'll be a sprig of parsley or a little garnish , hopefully with some impact ! '' Director Bayona confirmed that Goldblum 's role is simply a cameo , stating , `` He does n't have a major role in the action but it 's definitely a very meaningful one in terms of the story . '' Peter Jason as Senator Sherwood : A Senator who is among those who debate about saving the dinosaurs on Isla Nublar . Production Development During early conversations about the 2015 film Jurassic World , executive producer Steven Spielberg told director Colin Trevorrow that he was interested in having several more films made . In April 2014 , Trevorrow announced that sequels had been discussed : `` We wanted to create something that would be a little bit less arbitrary and episodic , and something that could potentially arc into a series that would feel like a complete story . '' Trevorrow said Chris Pratt and Omar Sy might reprise their roles for the next few films and that he would direct the film if asked . He later told Spielberg he would only focus on directing one film in the series , but in May 2015 , Trevorrow announced that he would not direct another film : `` I would be involved in some way , but not as director . '' He felt different directors could bring different qualities to future films . Pratt had been signed for future films in the series , as was Ty Simpkins , who portrayed Gray in Jurassic World . On June 3 , 2015 , Trevorrow said that Jurassic World left many story possibilities open : `` I really like the idea that this group of geneticists are n't the only people who can make a dinosaur ( ... ) when you think of the differences between Apple and PC -- the minute something goes open - source , there are all kinds of entities and interests that may be able to utilize that technology . '' On June 8 , 2015 , Jurassic World producer Frank Marshall met with Trevorrow and Universal Pictures to discuss a sequel . Later that month , he did not deny the film could involve `` dinosaur soldiers '' and said the series is `` not always gon na be about a Jurassic Park '' . He felt future films could explore the idea of dinosaurs and humans co-existing . Trevorrow also hinted the next film might not involve the Jurassic World theme park , and said he would be interested in seeing a Jurassic Park film made by one of several unnamed Spanish horror film directors . Pre-production On July 23 , 2015 , Universal announced a fifth film had been scheduled for a June 22 , 2018 , release date in the U.S. It was also announced that Trevorrow would write the script with his writing partner Derek Connolly , as they had for Jurassic World ; that the film would be produced by Frank Marshall ; and that Spielberg and Trevorrow would act as executive producers . Universal also said that Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard would reprise their roles from the previous film . At the time of the film 's announcement , Trevorrow said the series `` is n't always going to be limited to theme parks '' . He confirmed the film would not involve `` a bunch of dinosaurs chasing people on an island '' stating , `` That 'll get old real fast . '' Trevorrow also spoke of the film 's possible open - source storyline : `` It 's almost like InGen is Mac , but what if PC gets their hands on it ? What if there are 15 different entities around the world who can make a dinosaur ? '' In August 2015 , Howard said the script was being written , and it was announced the film would be released in the UK two weeks early , on June 7 , 2018 . Later that year , B.D. Wong said he `` would be happy to return '' as Dr. Henry Wu , while Howard announced that filming would begin in 2017 . Howard also said she would be interested in seeing characters from earlier Jurassic Park films return for the fifth film , saying , `` I could see versions of the film where a lot of the characters come back . '' By October 2015 , director J.A. Bayona was being considered to direct the film . He chose instead to direct the World War Z sequel , a project for which he had already signed on . In January 2016 , it was reported that Bayona could still be a candidate to direct the film after he dropped out of the World War Z sequel due to other commitments . In March 2016 , London was being scouted as a possible filming location and setting for the film ; it was subsequently announced that filming would take place at a UK studio . On April 14 , 2016 , actor Jeff Goldblum said he had no plans to appear in the film as his character Ian Malcolm , although he said he was open to the possibility . On April 18 , 2016 , Bayona was announced as the film 's director , with Belén Atienza and Patrick Crowley joining Marshall as producers . Spielberg , Marshall , and Kathleen Kennedy had been impressed by his 2012 film , The Impossible , and initially considered having him direct Jurassic World . He declined as he felt there was not enough time for production . Trevorrow wanted Bayona to direct the film after seeing his 2007 horror film , The Orphanage . Before he was hired , Bayona had met with Trevorrow and became enthused with the project after being shown the script 's second half , which would play out like a haunted house film . After Bayona was hired , Trevorrow said of the film , `` We 're moving it into new territory . J.A. Bayona is an incredible director and I know he 'll push the boundaries of what a ' Jurassic ' movie is . I think it 's important that we take risks . A franchise must evolve or perish . '' Trevorrow and Bayona worked closely throughout the film 's production . In June 2016 , actor Sam Neill was asked if he would return to the series as Dr. Alan Grant and responded , `` You never say never , but I think it 's moved on . It 's different times . '' The film , under the working title of Ancient Futures , was in full pre-production as of July 2016 , with storyboards being designed . Andy Nicholson was hired as the film 's production designer . He spent four weeks with Bayona in Barcelona , discussing reference pictures and background details , as well as Bayona 's ideas for the Lockwood mansion . Production was scheduled to begin in Hawaii in February 2017 . Wales was also confirmed as a filming location , including Brecon Beacons and Penbryn . Trevorrow said that Hawaii would be used as a primary filming location , while U.K. shooting would be limited to studios , without the story taking place there . Trevorrow also said the film would feature many dinosaurs that were not seen in previous films and denied that the film 's story would involve militarized dinosaurs , which would only be mentioned in the film . For the film 's second half where dinosaurs are transported by boat to the mainland , Ecuador and Peru had both been scouted as possible filming locations and settings . Marshall thought that Cabo San Lucas would be ideal , but these locations ultimately did not work for the film 's story . Although the film was shot partly in England , Spielberg felt the country was too far from the fictional Isla Nublar to be used as the in - film setting for the second half . He and the producers did not want the film to spend too much time on a boat . Crowley stated , `` Rather than making it a movie about traveling on a boat , which is not very exciting , you needed to get to the place . '' In September 2016 , Bayona confirmed the film would be the second chapter in a planned Jurassic World trilogy . Later that year , Marshall said that Wong was `` probably going to come back '' . Jurassic World composer Michael Giacchino confirmed that he would return as composer for the fifth film . Óscar Faura was announced as the film 's cinematographer at the end of the year . Writing Although Spielberg was heavily involved in the development of ideas for Jurassic World , he had Trevorrow and Connolly devise their own ideas for the sequel . He retained final approval on the project . In June 2015 , about two weeks after the theatrical release of Jurassic World , Trevorrow embarked on a road trip from Los Angeles to his home state of Vermont . Connolly agreed to accompany Trevorrow so they could discuss a basic set of ideas Trevorrow had for the film . During their eight - day trip , they began work on the script and devised the basic story . Trevorrow said the film 's story was inspired by a quote from Dr. Alan Grant in the first film : `` Dinosaurs and man , two species separated by 65 million years of evolution , have suddenly been thrown back into the mix together . How can we possibly have the slightest idea of what to expect ? '' Trevorrow said that the story was heavily influenced by the idea that , `` A mistake made a long time ago just ca n't be undone . '' The film is also based on concepts from Michael Crichton 's novel Jurassic Park ( 1990 ) and its sequel The Lost World ( 1995 ) , and includes dialogue from the first novel . Isla Nublar 's volcano was in the first novel , and the writers chose to incorporate it into the film 's plot . Trevorrow compared the destruction of Isla Nublar to `` the burning down of a church or a temple , '' saying , `` I honestly think it 's like killing off a character in a way , and if you 're going to do that , as long as you approach it with the proper respect and acknowledgement that you understand how indelible and permanent what you 're doing is , then hopefully people will have an emotional response but they wo n't hate you for it . '' The idea to include a `` silent partner '' for John Hammond was also inspired by the Jurassic Park novel . Although the character of Benjamin Lockwood was not featured in the novel , the book depicts the early years leading up to the cloning of dinosaurs . This made Trevorrow realize there would have been many people involved in such a project , convincing him that someone like Lockwood would be among those people . In his initial film treatment , Trevorrow had included story elements that Marshall and Crowley considered excessive for a single film . The producers felt it was important to include details about Owen and Claire 's lives after the events of Jurassic World . Although the original ending was the same as the final film , Trevorrow had wanted to include more details about the integration of dinosaurs into the world . He chose to remove them to keep the story focused . The script 's structure , Trevorrow said , was inspired by Spielberg 's 2015 film Bridge of Spies , in which two seemingly unrelated stories `` collide in the middle , and move on together . '' Trevorrow was also inspired by the 1975 film Three Days of the Condor , saying , `` It 's one of those places where you think you know what the score is , and then everything changes , and then suddenly you do n't know who to trust . '' Having directed Jurassic World , Trevorrow was familiar with how animatronics worked and wrote scenes for the sequel that would allow for their use . For example , animatronics are incapable of certain actions such as running . Regarding the idea of human cloning , Trevorrow said that `` we 're so much closer to cloning humans than we are to cloning dinosaurs . It felt like far less of a leap to me than dinosaurs do . ( ... ) To have a character who has such deep love and has felt such loss and the inability to go on , I think is something we all feel . So the idea that you might be able to bring someone back in that way is emotionally grounded in a very universal idea . '' Trevorrow also said he was interested in `` the larger impact '' of genetic power , including its emotional impact and its potential human impact . He added , `` we knew that we did n't want to continue to make movies about the dangers of messing with science . We want to tell a story about where we are now , which is that we have messed with science , we have fundamentally altered our world and now we 're dealing with the consequences . '' Trevorrow was nervous about how audiences would react to the story 's human cloning aspect , an idea supported by Spielberg , who was excited about the questions that such an idea could raise in the film 's sequel . Because of criticism of the death of Zara in the previous film , Trevorrow said for Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom , `` We made sure that every death was earned . Everybody deserves their death in this movie , a lesson learned . In 2018 everyone earns it . Horrible people . '' After Bayona was hired , he began reading Crichton 's novels -- including Jurassic Park and The Lost World -- for inspiration and `` to try to immerse myself in Crichton 's mind . '' Trevorrow and Connolly began working with Bayona in July 2016 , to perfect the script to the director 's liking . Trevorrow said the film would be more `` suspenseful and scary '' than its predecessor : `` It 's just the way it 's designed ; it 's the way the story plays out . I knew I wanted Bayona to direct it long before anyone ever heard that it was a possibility , so the whole thing was just built around his skillset . '' Trevorrow later described the film as `` The Impossible meets The Orphanage with dinosaurs . '' Bayona said that with the first half of the film set on an island , `` you have what you expect from a Jurassic movie , '' while the second half `` moves to a totally different environment that feels more suspenseful , darker , claustrophobic , and even has this kind of gothic element , which I love . '' The `` gothic element '' of suspense was influenced by Alfred Hitchcock films . He compared it to The Empire Strikes Back and Star Trek II : The Wrath of Khan , which were both considered darker than their predecessors . Trevorrow said the film 's dinosaurs would be `` a parable of the treatment animals receive today : the abuse , medical experimentation , pets , having wild animals in zoos like prisons , the use the military has made of them , animals as weapons . '' The idea of weaponized dinosaurs came from Spielberg . Trevorrow said that with the film 's dinosaur auction , `` The worst instincts of mankind are revealed . The first film was very clearly about corporate greed . This is just about human greed . '' The film includes ideas previously featured in a rejected 2004 draft for Jurassic Park IV ( later Jurassic World ) , presented in the same structure : a return to Isla Nublar followed by a second half set in a large Gothic building on the mainland . The idea of a dinosaur auction was also in the rejected draft , which Trevorrow had read while writing the first Jurassic World film . Bayona had his own ideas incorporated into the script while essentially retaining the original story devised by Trevorrow and Connolly . The film 's underwater opening sequence was already in their script . Bayona asked Trevorrow to push for it to become a bigger scene with a larger set . One of Trevorrow 's ideas was to include Jeff Goldblum 's character of Ian Malcolm , who appeared in the franchise 's earlier films . Trevorrow and Goldblum discussed dialogue ideas for Malcolm , and Trevorrow said he used a lot of dialogue from Crichton 's Jurassic Park novel for the character . Marshall said that Trevorrow wrote Malcolm as `` the ' Uh oh , danger , I told you so ' kind of character '' . Trevorrow said of Malcolm , `` I saw him as kind of Al Gore . He 's got a beard now , and he 's like , ' I told all of you this was going to be a disaster , and sure enough it is . ' '' Bayona and Trevorrow ultimately removed certain moments from the script they felt would be better for the sequel , which was expected to depict dinosaurs having spread around the world . Casting In October 2016 , casting was underway for the role of a nine - year - old girl . Approximately 2,500 girls were interviewed for the part , which ultimately went to Isabella Sermon , marking her film debut . By November 2016 , Tom Holland -- who previously starred in The Impossible -- had discussed a role in the film with Bayona , but did not believe he would be available because of scheduling conflicts . Toby Jones , Rafe Spall , and Justice Smith were cast at the end of the year . Daniella Pineda , Ted Levine and James Cromwell were cast in early 2017 , while Wong confirmed his return as Dr. Henry Wu . To maintain secrecy , the Ancient Futures title was used in the casting phase . During auditions , references to dinosaurs were replaced with animals such as lions and grizzly bears . To convince the studio that Pineda was right for the role of Zia , Bayona had her demonstrate she could perform comedy and drama scenes , as well as improvise . Pineda auditioned seven times before being given the role . She auditioned for Bayona , Atienza , and Crowley but did not meet the cast until she arrived in England for filming . In March 2017 , Bayona announced that Geraldine Chaplin , who had appeared in each of his previous films , had joined the cast . The next month , it was announced that Jeff Goldblum would be reprising his role from the first two films as Dr. Ian Malcolm . Bayona considered Malcolm a `` great character ! '' Marshall said , `` The world has changed a lot since Ian Malcolm went to Jurassic Park and we need his point of view now more than ever . He told us about chaos theory , he was right . '' Filming Filming began at Langley Business Centre in Slough , England , on February 23 , 2017 . Scenes shot at the business center included Claire 's Dinosaur Protection Group office , Owen training his baby raptors , and Owen and Claire attempting to retrieve blood from the sedated T. rex . Most of the filming in England took place at Pinewood Studios . Because of its large sound stages , it was considered perfect for the film 's many interior scenes . After filming concluded in England , production moved to Hawaii , which was used as a primary filming location . Scenes shot in Hawaii were set on Isla Nublar , the fictional island featured in the first and fourth films . Scenes were also expected to be shot at Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales . The film was shot in CinemaScope , and is the first entry in the Jurassic Park series presented in a 2.40 : 1 aspect ratio . The film crew used Arri Alexa 65 exclusively . Several scenes were shot to reference various films including From Here to Eternity ( 1953 ) and Dracula ( 1979 ) , as well as Spielberg 's films Raiders of the Lost Ark ( 1981 ) and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial ( 1982 ) . Spielberg was shown scenes from the film during production and offered Bayona his opinions . During filming , and in between takes , Bayona used an iPod to play different types of music on set to inspire the actors , as he had done with his previous films . He also played sound effects from other films in the series , including a T. rex roar that he sometimes used to get a natural reaction from the actors . In particular , Bayona played unexpected sounds and loud music to scare Smith for certain scenes , as his character is portrayed as easily frightened . Bayona and Pratt discussed each scene involving Owen 's character before it was shot . Many of Pratt 's ideas were used in the film . Discussing Levine 's character , Bayona said , `` He came with this idea of creating this kind of military man . He just wanted to portray the most hateable character possible . ( ... ) And he was so creative on set , trying to give ideas , bringing story notes to make this character more and more hateable . '' The film includes several indirect references to U.S. President Donald Trump , including an idea from Trevorrow where a news ticker says the `` U.S. president '' has questioned the `` existence of dinosaurs in the first place . '' Jones was allowed to decide his character 's appearance , which included a wig similar to Trump 's hairstyle . An unscripted moment left in the film involves Levine 's character referring to Pineda 's character Zia as a `` nasty woman '' , a comment that was previously made famous by Trump . In April 2017 , scenes were filmed at East Berkshire College in Berkshire , England , and at Loch Long in Argyll and Bute , Scotland . Also that month , filming took place at Hartland Park -- formerly the Pyestock jet engine test site -- in Fleet , Hampshire , England , where the film 's opening sequence was shot . It was filmed through the night and involved helicopters , rain machines , and lightning simulators to depict a thunderstorm . Bayona described the opening scene as a `` massive action piece '' that resembled the prologues used in James Bond films . Scenes were filmed on sets at Hawley Common , also in Hampshire , where the exterior of Lockwood 's mansion was built , as well as a mainland loading dock where the dinosaurs are brought . The exterior of the ship that transports Isla Nublar 's dinosaurs to the mainland was created entirely through computer - generated effects by Industrial Light & Magic ( ILM ) , which worked on the previous films . The ship 's interior was constructed by Nicholson and his team as a large set at Pinewood Studios , and after filming , it was rebuilt to depict the large rooftop of the Lockwood Estate . The exterior of the Cragside country house in Northumberland , England , along with its coniferous surroundings , was used to depict the Lockwood Estate exterior . The film crew took plate shots of Cragside and used a computer to combine the shots with footage filmed on set to create the exterior of the Lockwood Estate . No actors were involved in the Cragside shoot . Nicholson previsualized each of the sets he and his team built to ensure they would be large enough for the intended scenes . He noted , `` Someone can tell you a Velociraptor is X-feet long , but until you see it in the space , you ca n't appreciate what that means in terms of your set and the action that needs to take place within it . '' The interior of the multi-floor Lockwood Estate was built entirely on sound stages at Pinewood Studios . The estate set included Eli Mills ' office , Dr. Wu 's large underground laboratory , an underground dinosaur containment facility , separate bedrooms belonging to Benjamin and Maisie Lockwood , and a large library with dinosaur skeletons and artifacts . When filming was completed in the Lockwood library , the set was redecorated and converted into the estate 's underground garage , where the dinosaur auction takes place . Pratt said the film involved significantly more stunts than its predecessor . An improvised fist fight scene , between Owen and several men during the dinosaur auction , was added late in filming . It was the first such scene to be featured in the film series , and was filmed in a single continuous shot with the use of a dolly track . On May 10 , 2017 , it was reported that scenes were being filmed at Rock Barracks military base , near Woodbridge , Suffolk . On May 24 , 2017 , scenes were shot at Hampshire 's Blackbushe Airport , which stood in as an American airfield . Filming in the United Kingdom concluded on June 10 , 2017 . Up to that point , Trevorrow was present as an on - set writer for each day of production so he could aid Bayona with any possible script changes . Goldblum shot his scenes in a single day at Pinewood Studios , during the last day of filming in the United Kingdom . Jones also filmed his scenes on large sets at Pinewood Studios . Filming in Hawaii was underway as of June 13 , 2017 , and lasted more than 25 days , with locations that included Dillingham Airfield and Pua'ena Point . On June 21 , 2017 , filming began at Heʻeia Kea Small Boat Harbor , which served as Isla Nublar 's shipping dock . More than half the harbor was closed for filming , which required the use of smoke machines . Scenes were scheduled to be shot there until the end of the month . Filming also took place in a nearby Heʻeia jungle for scenes where Owen searches for and locates Blue . As a reference to the first Jurassic Park film , the scene between Owen and Blue includes an overturned Ford Explorer , previously featured in the original film as a Jurassic Park tour vehicle . Trevorrow had initially considered including the vehicle in a scene in Jurassic World , before settling on the original Jurassic Park visitor center instead . On June 22 , 2017 , the film 's official title was announced as Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom . At the time , filming was underway at Kualoa Ranch on the Hawaiian island of Oahu . Filming at Kualoa Ranch included the exterior set for a radio tower bunker . In Hawaii , scenes where characters are running were filmed with the use of the Edge Arm , a stabilized camera that was attached to a crane , which was mounted to a truck that drove alongside the actors . This specialized camera allowed for scenes to be shot steadily despite the truck being driven over rough terrain . The film includes a scene on Isla Nublar where Claire and Franklin are riding in a ball - shaped Jurassic World Gyrosphere ride to evade dinosaurs . It was shot at Kualoa Ranch and in England . Bayona described it as one of the film 's biggest challenges . In Hawaii , the Edge Arm was used to film the actors riding in the Gyrosphere as it was hauled on a trailer to simulate its movement . In England , an outdoor roller coaster track with a 40 - foot drop was constructed for the Gyrosphere , which Howard and Smith rode in to shoot a scene where the ride plummets off a cliff and into the water surrounding Isla Nublar . Although this portion of the scene could have been shot with the use of a green screen , Bayona wanted the actors to express genuine fear for the scene . The last part of the scene was shot at Pinewood Studios , where a large indoor tank was constructed and filled with water to depict the submerged ride as Owen tries to break it open and rescue Claire and Franklin . This portion of the scene was filmed in five different takes that were merged to make it seem like a single continuous shot . Pratt was aided by a diving instructor while he shot the scene , which also involved Howard and Smith being underwater . Filming in the tank lasted five days , and required a crew of 85 . It was shot primarily by a second unit crew , as Bayona was busy directing scenes on other soundstages . David Vickery and his team at ILM created the volcanic special effects and consulted volcanologists for research . According to Vickery , the team asked `` how a volcano of this type might erupt '' and also requested information about `` the various stages of lava and pyroclastic flow . We are speeding it up a bit for the sake of our film , but it is definitely all based on real science . '' The lava was created through digital effects , although one scene used cat litter set on fire as a stand - in on set , so the actors would know where to react . The scene was set in an Isla Nublar bunker as lava begins dripping from the roof . The litter had been soaked in flammable liquid , and was dropped from 12 different nozzles above the set . The Main Street section of the Jurassic World theme park was rebuilt on Police Beach in Hawaii for a scene where Owen and Claire return to the island . The set had been built previously in Louisiana for filming of the previous Jurassic World , but was dismantled after filming concluded . For the sequel , Nicholson had part of the Main Street practically built , although the park 's visitor center could not be constructed in its entirety because of its large size . Unbuilt portions of the park were created by ILM using digital set extensions . Main Street was the largest set built in Hawaii , and required more than three months to complete . Many of the same prop makers returned to recreate the Main Street set , which then had to be aged to give the appearance of abandonment . On July 7 , 2017 , filming took place at Oahu 's Hālona Blowhole , where Pratt , Howard and Smith shot scenes on a beach . Filming concluded on July 8 , 2017 , after shooting was completed at Hālona Blowhole . Bayona said that making the film was the biggest challenge of his life . The original cut of the film was approximately two hours and 45 minutes , which the filmmakers considered too long . It was trimmed to two hours and eight minutes for the final cut . One scene removed from the film for runtime reasons revealed the character of Zia to be a lesbian , an idea that came from Bayona and Trevorrow . Creatures on screen See also : List of cloned animals in the Jurassic Park series The film 's dinosaurs were created using a combination of animatronics and computer - generated imagery ( CGI ) . Special effects artist Neal Scanlan served as the film 's creature effects supervisor , while Vickery and Alex Wuttke were visual effects supervisors . Scanlan worked on the animatronic dinosaurs , while Vickery and his ILM team created versions of the dinosaurs through CGI . ILM animators in Vancouver worked on dinosaur stampede scenes , while ILM 's London studio created the remaining creature scenes . Approximately 52 ILM animators worked on the film . Scanlan worked closely with Bayona and Vickery to create the creatures . Vickery and ILM did extensive research to accurately create and depict the dinosaurs , which included consulting with paleontologists . The ILM team also referred to elephants and rhinos to determine how the dinosaurs should move and behave . Dinosaur expert John Hankla , of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science , served as an advisor on the film . After reading fan thoughts on dinosaurs and speaking with children , Bayona realized that dinosaur textures and colors were often brought up and said , `` I thought that was the area where I could play with . They feel somehow a little bit more exotic and richer in this movie . '' New research had also suggested that real dinosaurs were more colorful and brighter than previously thought . The film features more dinosaurs than any previous film in the series . Bayona wanted to include several new dinosaurs not seen in earlier films , including Allosaurus , Baryonyx , Carnotaurus , Sinoceratops , Stygimoloch , and the fictional Indoraptor . Baryonyx and Carnotaurus were among the creatures created through CGI . Dilophosaurus was in the film 's original cut , but was removed . The film features more animatronic dinosaurs than any previous sequel , and the animatronics used were more technologically advanced than in the earlier films . Five animatronic dinosaurs were created for the film , whereas the previous film featured only one . More animatronics were used because the film features closer interaction between humans and dinosaurs than its predecessor , including a scene where Howard rides atop the sedated T. rex . Bayona said that animatronics `` are very helpful on set , especially for the actors so they have something to perform against . There 's an extra excitement if they can act in front of something real . '' Scanlan felt animatronics were not best for every scene : `` In some ways it will have an impact on your shooting schedule ; you have to take time to film with an animatronic . In the balance , we ask ourselves if it is economically and artistically more valuable to do it that way , or as a post-production effect . Once we have looked at each particular case , with the director and the VFX supervisor we decide whether -- because of the environment or the circumstances -- it is the right way to go practically . '' Scanlan spent more than eight months at Pinewood Studios working on the creatures before and during filming , with a crew of approximately 35 people . Scanlan 's team created functional animatronic models of the T. rex , the Indoraptor and Blue , while ILM worked on CGI versions of the creatures . The T. rex was one of the first animatronic creatures needed for filming , in the form of a full - scale head and shoulders . ILM sent Scanlan a model of the T. rex from its appearance in Jurassic World . Scanlan used it to create a full - scale 3D print of the T. rex head and shoulders . The life - sized T. rex animatronic , which had the ability to breathe and move its head , was controlled with joysticks . It was used for a scene where the sedated creature is inside a cage while Owen and Claire attempt to retrieve blood from it . The beginning shots of the scene were created using only the animatronic , while the ending shots solely used CGI . The middle portion of the scene used a combination of the two methods . Within the film 's story , the T. rex is portrayed as the same individual featured in previous films . Trevorrow said , `` We 've been following this same character since the beginning ; she 's the same T. rex that was in Jurassic Park and in Jurassic World . She is iconic -- not just because she 's a T. rex , but because she 's this T. rex . '' The Blue animatronic was created to lay down on an operating table , depicting the animal in an injured state while the character of Zia operates on the creature . Up to 12 puppeteers , hidden under the operating table , were needed to control the animatronic during filming . The scene was shot twice , with and without the Blue animatronic , and the two versions were later combined for a seamless effect . In creating Blue through CGI , the animators referred to the animal 's appearance in the previous film . According to Vickery , Blue 's movements were designed to resemble a dog : `` You look at the way Blue cocks her head and looks up at you . It 's exactly like a dog . You 're trying to sort of connect the dinosaur with things that you understand as a human . '' The Indoraptor was primarily created through CGI , while a practical head , neck , shoulders , foot and arm were created for close - up shots . For some scenes , an inflatable Indoraptor stand - in was operated by two puppeteers on set , to be later replaced by a CGI version of the creature . The Indoraptor was designed to have long human - like arms . The creature is depicted as a quadruped and biped , with a height of approximately 10 ft ( 3.0 m ) tall while standing on two legs . Bayona chose black for the Indoraptor 's color because he wanted the creature to have the appearance of a black shadow , saying `` it 's very terrifying when you see the Indoraptor in the dark because you can only see the eyes and the teeth . '' Scanlan 's team also made puppeteering aids , rod puppets , and several prop dinosaurs , all created by coordinating with Vickery to ensure a consistent result between the practical effects and CGI . Animal motions that could not be perfected with puppetry , such as blinking , were created with computer technology . Among the puppeteer dinosaurs were baby velociraptors used for a scene with Pratt . The scene 's final , wider shots used two - wheeled , remote - controlled toys to stand - in for the baby raptors on set . The toys included a spring which gave them the ability to jump . The feature was used to get a genuinely startled reaction from Pratt . Although motion capture was used in the previous film to depict velociraptors , ILM determined after several tests the technology would not be adequate for depicting dinosaurs in Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom . They chose instead to use key frame animation done for the previous films . However , some motion capture was done as a form of previsualization to aid Bayona . ILM used key framing to create scenes involving a large number of dinosaurs and referred to high - speed photography of horses racing for aid in creating such scenes . The fight scene between Blue and the Indoraptor , set in Maisie 's bedroom , was designed in London and key framed by ILM . Jance Rubinchik , animation supervisor for ILM , said the fight was the `` trickiest sequence '' because of the lack of previsualization . According to Bayona , a Brachiosaurus shown dying in the volcanic eruption is meant to be the same individual that is first seen in the original Jurassic Park . The Brachiosaurus in the new film was created using the same animations from the 1993 film . The dinosaur 's death was the last shot on the entire film to be finished ; Bayona and the post-production team worked through the night to perfect the scene 's colors and composition , shortly before the film 's release . For advice on veterinary procedures and animatronic movements , the filmmakers sought a veterinary surgeon who had experience with African wildlife . Jonathan Cranston , a Gloucestershire veterinary surgeon , was recommended for the position because of his experience with wildlife in South Africa . He advised Bayona and the producers on how to choreograph several scenes to accurately depict complex veterinarian procedures that involved the dinosaurs . Cranston also worked closely with Pratt , Howard , Pineda and Smith to teach them how to perform such procedures . He also advised the puppeteers on creating subtle and authentic animal movements and worked with Bayona on two scenes . Cranston was on set for 12 days , primarily at Pinewood Studios . Marketing A six - second clip from the film was released on November 22 , 2017 . The first trailer was teased for release on November 30 , 2017 . This was later confirmed to be incorrect . Several teaser trailers and a behind - the - scenes featurette of the film were released in early December 2017 , before the release of a full - length trailer on December 7 . That month , Universal launched a website for the Dinosaur Protection Group . It included miscellaneous information about the group and its effort to save the island 's dinosaurs , as well as a video featuring Howard , Pineda and Smith as their characters . The website was created by Timothy Glover and Jack Anthony Ewins , who created the Masrani Global website for Jurassic World . A second trailer aired during Super Bowl LII on February 4 , 2018 . A 30 - second teaser trailer was released on April 13 , 2018 , announcing the release of a third full trailer on April 18 . Several of the trailers and commercials for the film included scenes from the ending that depict the Tyrannosaurus rex and the Mosasaurus now loose in the world . This frustrated Trevorrow , who preferred not to show such scenes before the film 's release . Universal had the benefit of a global marketing campaign by its partners valued at $185 million , more than double the value of the previous film 's partner program . The campaign included nine partners -- Dairy Queen , Doritos , Dr Pepper , Ferrero SpA , Jeep , Juicy Fruit , Kellogg 's , M&M 's , and Skittles -- who aired television commercials and sold products to promote the film . The global marketing campaign consisted of 1.3 billion promotional items including 100 million boxes of Kellogg 's products and 15 million packages of Kinder Joy candy by Ferrero . Dairy Queen , a returning partner from the previous film , sold `` Jurassic Chomp '' ice cream desserts in collectable cups , while Doritos and Dr Pepper marketed versions of their products that featured images of the film 's dinosaurs . For Super Bowl LII , Trevorrow directed a Jeep commercial starring Goldblum featuring a T. rex . Within 24 hours of its release , the commercial received 39.7 million online views , more than any film trailer watched online following its Super Bowl television debut . Universal also teamed up with Amazon for a marketing stunt where a dinosaur - sized box was driven around Los Angeles on a truck to promote the film . Licensing partners Mattel , Lego , and Funko created toys based on the film . Mattel produced a variety of toys , including dinosaurs and action figures , as well as Barbie dolls featuring the likeness of Pratt and Howard as their characters . Mattel released a mobile app titled Jurassic World Facts as a tie - in to its dinosaur toys , which included symbols that could be scanned to collect facts about each creature . Lego released a number of Lego sets and characters based on the film . A video game , Jurassic World Evolution , was released simultaneously with the film . A two - part virtual reality miniseries titled Jurassic World : Blue , created by Felix & Paul Studios and Industrial Light and Magic , was released for Oculus VR headsets as a film tie - in , featuring Blue on Isla Nublar at the time of the volcanic eruption . Trevorrow , Glover and Ewins created a website and campaign for `` Extinction Now ! '' ( the antithesis to the Dinosaur Protection Group ) , which was launched shortly before the film 's release . The campaign included a found - footage clip of a Tyrannosaurus loose in San Diego , a reference to The Lost World : Jurassic Park . Release Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom had its premiere at the WiZink Center in Madrid , Spain , on May 21 , 2018 . The film 's international theatrical release began in Singapore and Malaysia on June 7 , the United Kingdom , India , Italy , South Korea and Angola on June 8 , and Pakistan on June 16 , 2018 . The film was released in the United States on June 22 , 2018 . Home Media Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom is scheduled for digital release on September 4 , 2018 , and Blu - ray , DVD , Blu - ray 3D and 4K Blu - ray on September 18 , 2018 .

The film crossed the $1 billion mark on July 5 , 2018 , becoming the 35th film of all - time to reach this milestone , and the seventh film for Universal . It also made Universal the second studio ( after Disney ) to have at least two films in three different franchises make $1 billion worldwide , alongside The Fast and the Furious and Despicable Me . United States and Canada In December 2017 , a survey from Fandango indicated that Fallen Kingdom was one of the most anticipated films of 2018 . Initial projections three weeks before its release had the film grossing between $130 -- 150 million in its opening weekend in the United States and Canada , with BoxOffice magazine estimating a total of $325 -- 380 million for its final domestic gross . By the week of its release , the low - end projections had reached $135 million . It was released on June 22 , 2018 , in 4,475 theaters ( the second - widest release ever behind Despicable Me 3 ) grossing $58.7 million on its opening day , the second - highest of the franchise and 28th - best on record . The film grossed $15.3 million from Thursday night previews at 3,600 theaters , down from the $18.5 million grossed by Jurassic World . It ended up debuting at $148 million , the 20th - best opening weekend of all - time and second highest for Universal . It also marked the second time two films opened to over $100 million on back - to - back weekends , following Incredibles 2 's $182.7 million debut the week before , since May 2007 when Shrek the Third and Pirates of the Caribbean : At World 's End opened to $121.6 million and $114.7 million , respectively . In its second weekend the film made $60 million , a drop of 59 % and less than the $105.8 million made by Jurassic World in its sophomore weekend . In its third weekend made $28.3 million .

Critical response On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes , Fallen Kingdom holds an approval rating of 50 % based on 331 reviews , and an average rating of 5.6 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom adds another set piece - packed entry to the blockbuster franchise , although genuinely thrilling moments are in increasingly short supply . '' On Metacritic , which assigns a normalized rating to reviews , the film has a weighted average score of 51 out of 100 , based on 59 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 PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it an 82 % overall positive score . Variety 's Owen Gleiberman called the film better than the first Jurassic World but wrote `` ... ( Fallen Kingdom ) ends up being just a so - so ride . I hope the next one is an all - out ride -- but that for the first time since Spielberg 's 1993 original , it 's actually a great one . The audience for this series has proved that it will turn out in mega-droves . '' Lindsey Bahr of the Associated Press wrote , `` Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom will not stand up to rigorous scrutiny , and yet , it 's kind of an enjoyable , preposterous and thrilling ride that ticks through nostalgia beats like a shopping list . '' The Boston Globe 's Ty Burr likened the film to a `` Universal Studios theme park ride '' noting , `` It 's enough for a fun fright night at the movies but lacks anything else : character , mystery , wonder , danger . The film 's a rush for an audience that only wants the high . '' In a more critical assessment , Peter Travers of Rolling Stone said `` ... this sequel has the perfunctory vibe that comes from filmmakers who cynically believe the public will buy anything T. rex - related , no matter how shoddy the goods or warmed - over the plot . '' Senior Editor Matt Goldberg of Collider also criticized the screenplay stating , `` The film is too lazy to even bother with the modest housekeeping of explaining its characters ' motives . '' The Verge 's Bryan Bishop was equally critical , writing , `` Like its predecessor , Fallen Kingdom is overstuffed with ethical conundrums , and not sophisticated enough to fully engage with them ... the movie 's villains become such cartoony caricatures that it 's impossible to take Fallen Kingdom 's attempted philosophical musings seriously . '' Sam Machkovech of Ars Technica called the film a B movie consisting of `` a sixth - grade sketchbook mash of dino - murder , cartoonish villains , and plot holes '' , while Travis M. Andrews of The Washington Post said the film had `` achieved the impossible : it makes dinosaurs boring . '' In a positive review , Scott Mendelson of Forbes wrote , `` Fallen Kingdom is a gorgeous , mostly enjoyable blockbuster that looked great in IMAX . That it does n't cash all the checks it tries to write is why it 's merely a good movie instead of a great one . '' Writing for The Hollywood Reporter , John DeFore also praised the film saying , `` Finally making good on its name , J.A. Bayona 's Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom says goodbye to the park for good , not just carrying the de-extincted dinos off the island but freeing itself from the genre trappings of the previous four films . '' Exclaim ! 's Alex Hudson said the film is `` a straight - ahead monster movie : it 's dumb , occasionally gory , and mostly plenty of fun ... It wo n't rekindle your childhood fascination with dinosaurs , but it makes for a suitably silly creature feature . '' Many reviewers singled out the scene where a lone Brachiosaurus , stranded on Isla Nublar , succumbs to the volcanic fumes while the characters helplessly watch from the departing ship , as `` poignant '' or `` haunting '' , especially given the species ' role in the first movie . Sequel Further information : Jurassic Park § Jurassic World 3 ( 2021 ) An untitled sequel , known as Jurassic World 3 , is scheduled for release on June 11 , 2021 . Trevorrow will direct the film , and write the screenplay with Emily Carmichael . It is based on a story by Trevorrow and Connolly .

The song premiered on On Air with Ryan Seacrest on May 21 . and was made available for digital download on iTunes on June 5 . Houston 's other track , `` His Eye is On the Sparrow '' , debuted only one day after the premiere of `` Celebrate '' . Composition ( edit ) Music and themes ( edit ) Sparkle : Original Motion Picture Soundtrack takes on matters of the celebration , heartache , heartbreak and seduction with a mixture of ballads , mid - and up - tempos . Release ( edit ) The Sparkle : Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was released on July 31 , 2012 ; though announced with 13 tracks , it was released with only 11 tracks . Five days before the soundtrack 's official release the entire soundtrack was made available to stream exclusively through Sparks ' Official store and Essence.com . Jordin Sparks , who worked closely with Houston throughout the making of Sparkle , finds the release of the soundtrack to be `` bittersweet . '' Sparks states , `` I worked with my idol and that was a dream come true . I used to watch the Cinderella adaptation with her and Brandy every day after school . But she should really be here promoting it with me and ( it 's ) really hard for me to be doing it alone . '' Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic Entertainment Weekly ( B ) Rolling Stone Allmusic writer Andy Kellman gave it three and a half out of five stars and called the soundtrack `` an enjoyable if muddled affair '' and commended the four songs covered on the new soundtrack stating `` the 2012 soundtrack features faithful and decent covers of four songs from the original . When it comes to `` Something He Can Feel , '' it would be an understatement to say that the deck is stacked against Sparks and her vocal partners , Carmen Ejogo and Tika Sumpter . '' Entertainment Weekly 's Melissa Maerz gave Sparkle : Original Motion Picture Soundtrack a B rating and praised Sparks version of `` Look Into Your Heart '' stating `` Sparks bellows Mayfield 's power ballad Look Into Your Heart with absolute conviction . Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone gave the soundtrack 31⁄2 of 5 stars , commenting that `` Sparkle revives four soul chestnuts and includes three originals written and produced by R. Kelly . It 's the second-most - satisfying retro - soul album of the year -- after Kelly 's Write Me Back '' ; however , he was ambivalent towards Houston 's last two recordings before her passing , saying that , `` Celebrate is forgettable disco - pop , and on the gospel standard `` His Eye Is on the Sparrow '' Houston sings -- and croaks -- in a voice octaves lower than in her prime . At times the song has a ravaged magnificence , but mostly it 's painful . '' Chart performance ( edit ) For the week ending August 18 , 2012 the soundtrack debuted on the Billboard 200 at # 26 , # 7 on the Billboard R&B / Hip - Hop Albums and # 1 on the Billboard Top Soundtracks Albums , selling 12,000 copies in its first week .

Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd song)

Wish You Were Here ( Pink Floyd song ) - wikipedia Wish You Were Here ( Pink Floyd song ) For other uses , see Wish You Were Here ( disambiguation ) . `` Wish You Were Here '' Song by Pink Floyd from the album Wish You Were Here Released 12 September 1975 ( album ) Recorded January -- July 1975 Length 5 : 41 ( Wish You Were Here version ) 5 : 21 ( Echoes : The Best of Pink Floyd version ) Label Harvest ( UK ) Columbia / CBS ( US ) Songwriter ( s ) David Gilmour Roger Waters Producer ( s ) Pink Floyd `` Wish You Were Here '' is the title track on Pink Floyd 's 1975 album Wish You Were Here . David Gilmour and Roger Waters collaborated to write the music , and Gilmour sang the lead vocal . In 2011 , the song was ranked No. 324 on Rolling Stone 's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time . Contents 1 Composition 2 Recording 3 Live performances 4 Other recorded versions by Pink Floyd 5 Personnel 6 Charts 7 Wish You Were Here ( Live ) 7.1 Track listing 7.2 Charts 7.3 Release history 8 Covers 8.1 Wyclef Jean version 8.2 Other covers 9 References 10 External links Composition ( edit ) In the original album version , the song segues from `` Have a Cigar '' as if a radio had been tuned away from one station , through several others ( including a radio play and one playing the opening of the finale movement of Tchaikovsky 's Fourth Symphony ) , and finally to a new station where `` Wish You Were Here '' is beginning . The radio was recorded from Gilmour 's car radio . He performed the intro on a twelve - string guitar , processed to sound like it was playing through an AM radio , and then overdubbed a fuller - sounding acoustic guitar solo . This passage was mixed to sound as though a guitarist were listening to the radio and playing along . As the acoustic part becomes more complex , the ' radio broadcast ' fades away and Gilmour 's voice enters , becoming joined by the full band . The intro riff is repeated several times , before Gilmour plays further solos with scat singing accompaniment . A third verse follows , featuring an increasingly expressive vocal from Gilmour and audible backing vocals . At the end of the recorded song , the final solo crossfades with wind sound effects , and finally segues into the second section of the multi-part suite `` Shine On You Crazy Diamond '' . Lyrically , the song is often considered to be a direct tribute to Syd Barrett . However , on the documentary The Story of Wish You Were Here , Gilmour and Waters separately describe the original concept that differs from this interpretation . Waters , who mainly wrote the lyrics complementing Gilmour 's initial riff idea and subsequent joint composition , describes the lyrics as being directed at himself , as his lyrics often are . Being present in one 's own life and freeing one 's self in order to truly experience life is a main topic in this song . Gilmour , on the other hand , recognizes that he does not ever perform the song without remembering Syd Barrett . Waters later adds that the song is nevertheless open to interpretation . Both David Gilmour and Roger Waters have praised the song as one of Pink Floyd 's finest . Roger Waters has noted that the collaboration between himself and David Gilmour on the song was `` ... really good . All bits of it are really , really good . I 'm very happy about it . '' David Gilmour has playfully called `` Wish You Were Here '' `` a very simple country song '' and stated that `` because of its resonance and the emotional weight it carries , it is one of our best songs . '' Recording ( edit ) `` Wish You Were Here '' was recorded at Abbey Road Studios , as part of the sessions for the entire album . A noted part of the song was a planned contribution by Stéphane Grappelli . A jazz violinist popular at the time and well known for his collaborations with Yehudi Menuhin , both violinists were recording in a downstairs studio at Abbey Road at the time . Gilmour had suggested that there be a little `` country fiddle '' at the end of the song and invited them to participate . Grappelli duly obliged ( Menuhin declined ) on arranging a session fee of £ 300 , equivalent to £ 2,300 in 2018 . Ultimately during mixing it was decided to almost remove his contribution , although it can just be heard around 5 : 21 . According to Waters it was decided that it would be insulting to credit Grappelli in the sleeve notes for something so inaudible , although he did receive the agreed - upon fee . As part of the Why Pink Floyd ... ? campaign , the Experience and Immersion versions of the Wish You Were Here album include an alternative version of the song where Grappelli 's part is heard in the instrumental break after the second verse and throughout the third verse before a considerably extended outro . Other less obvious differences are audible , for example at the section leading into the second verse . The master tape of the original recording includes an entire performance of pedal steel guitar and electric guitar solos , played by Gilmour , that were not used in the final mix . Live performances ( edit ) `` Wish You Were Here '' made its stage debut on the band 's 1977 tour , which featured a performance of the entire album at every show . It was not played live by the band for nearly ten years after this , yet became a concert staple after its reappearance in 1987 , and was performed at nearly all subsequent Pink Floyd concerts . In the original 1977 concert performances , Gilmour would play his Fender Stratocaster instead of acoustic guitar , while Snowy White played a twelve - string Ovation acoustic guitar . At these shows , Nick Mason tuned an actual transistor radio on stage to a local radio station , seguing into the pre-recorded part from the album to start the song and Richard Wright would perform an extended piano coda as the wind effects played . A live version is included on Pulse . When Pink Floyd were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , Gilmour and Wright ( Mason was in the audience ) performed the song with the assistance of their presenter Billy Corgan on rhythm guitar . Gilmour has made the song a part of most of his tours , and included a live version on his Live in Gdansk album . On 13 December 2014 David Gilmour was a guest performer at a concert by the Bombay Bicycle Club at Earls Court Arena , their concert being the final event ever to take place there before its demolition . Band member Jamie MacColl introduced Gilmour , saying ; `` This man gave me my first guitar and was one of the first people to play this venue and by my count has played here more than 27 times . '' Gilmour then played with the band on their song `` Rinse Me Down '' before a performance of `` Wish You Were Here '' . In 2005 , Waters and Eric Clapton performed the song at the Tsunami Aid concert , and in 2005 's Live 8 , Waters rejoined his former bandmates in London to perform it , along with four other classic Pink Floyd songs . Waters sung half the verses during Live 8 , while in the original version Gilmour did all the vocals . Other recorded versions by Pink Floyd ( edit ) `` Wish You Were Here '' appeared as the fifth track on A Collection of Great Dance Songs in 1981 ( with the radio intro following the end of a heavily edited `` Shine On You Crazy Diamond '' ) and as the 23rd track on the Echoes compilation in 2001 ( with the radio intro following `` Arnold Layne '' , and at the end crossfading with `` Jugband Blues '' ) . A live recording included on the 1995 live album P U L S E was issued as a single / EP . Its intro replicates the sound of the original , semi-ambient intro . The cover of the EP features two men whose faces are distorted by fish bowls , referring to the line `` We 're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl , year after year '' .

400 metres at the Olympics

400 metres at the Olympics - wikipedia 400 metres at the Olympics 400 metres at the Olympic Games The 2012 Olympic men 's 400 m final Overview Sport Athletics Gender Men and women Years held Men : 1896 -- 2016 Women : 1964 -- 2016 Olympic record Men 43.03 Wayde van Niekerk ( 2016 ) Women 48.25 Marie - José Pérec ( 1996 ) Reigning champion Men Wayde van Niekerk ( RSA ) Women Shaunae Miller ( BAH ) The 400 metres at the Summer Olympics has been contested since the first edition of the multi-sport event . The men 's 400 m has been present on the Olympic athletics programme since 1896 but nearly seventy years passed before the introduction of the women 's 400 m , which has been held continuously since the 1964 Games . It is the most prestigious 400 m race at elite level . The competition format typically has two qualifying rounds leading to a final race between eight athletes . The Olympic record for the men 's race was set in 2016 , and the record for the women 's race was set in 1996 . Wayde van Niekerk holds the men 's record of 43.03 seconds , breaking world and Olympic records that had been held by Michael Johnson since 1999 and 1996 respectively . Marie - José Pérec is the women 's record holder at 48.25 seconds . The men 's world record has been broken several times at the Olympics : in 1912 , 1932 , 1960 , 1968 , and 2016 . Irena Szewińska is the only person to break the women 's world record at the competition , doing so in 1976 . Only two athletes have won the event twice : Marie - José Pérec became the first to defend the title in 1996 , then Michael Johnson followed with victories in 1996 and 2000 . No athlete has won more than three medals . Several medalists in the event have also had success in the 200 metres at the Olympics : Johnson , Perec , Szewińska and Valerie Brisco - Hooks have all won titles at both distances . Athletes chosen for the event almost always form part of their nation 's team for the 4 × 400 metres relay at the Olympics . The United States is by far the most successful nation in the event , with 21 gold medals and 44 medals in total . The next most successful nation is Great Britain with three gold among its 13 medals . The 1908 men 's 400 metres saw the only walkover in Olympic history , as the American finalists refused to compete in a re-run due to British rules .

year intervals between the internationally - held Olympics . However , this plan never came to fruition and the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) later decided not to recognise these games as part of the official Olympic series . Some sports historians continue to treat the results of these games as part of the Olympic canon . At this event a men 's 400 m was held and Paul Pilgrim , a 1904 Olympic gold medalist in the 4 - mile team race , won the competition . Wyndham Halswelle , later the 1908 Olympic champion in the 800 metres , was the runner - up while Australia 's Nigel Barker was the bronze medalist . Games Gold Silver Bronze 1906 Athens details Paul Pilgrim ( USA ) Wyndham Halswelle ( GBR ) Nigel Barker ( AUS ) Non-canonical Olympic events ( edit ) In addition to the main 1900 Olympic men 's 400 metres , a handicap competition was contested seven days after the final . Twenty men entered , with Hungary 's Pál Koppán , Germany 's Albert Werkmüller and Dave Hall of the United States being the only non-French entrants . Koppán was the victor with a handicap of 35 m , Werkmüller was second with a handicap of 35 m , and Frenchman André Lemonnier took third with a 26 m handicap . Two professionals - only events were also held in 1900 . The 400 metres world record holder Edgar Bredin won with a time of 53.2 seconds , ahead of Legrain of France ( possibly Paul Legrain ) and his compatriot Jules Bouchoux . A handicap professional race was also held but the results have not been located . A handicap 440 - yard dash ( 402.3 m ) competition was held at 1904 Summer Olympics after the 1904 Olympic men 's 400 m race . An American , F. Darcy , won the race with a time of 50.8 ( 12 - yard start ) . George Underwood , also of the United States , came second with no handicap and John Peck of Canada came third off a six - yard headstart . These events are no longer considered part of the official Olympic history of the 400 metres or the athletics programme in general . Consequently , medals from these competitions have not been assigned to nations on the all - time medal tables .

Matthew 5:30

Matthew 5 : 30 - wikipedia Matthew 5 : 30 Jump to : navigation , search Matthew 5 : 30 is the thirtieth verse of the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament and is part of the Sermon on the Mount . Part of the section on adultery , it is very similar to the previous verse , but with the hand mentioned instead of the eye . For a discussion of the radicalism of these verses see Matthew 5 : 29 . Jesus had stated that looking at a woman in lust is equal to the act of adultery itself and in this verse he recommends cutting off one 's hand to prevent sinning . In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads : And if thy right hand offend thee , cut it off , and cast it from thee : for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish , and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell . The World English Bible translates the passage as : If your right hand causes you to stumble , cut it off , and throw it away from you . For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish , than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna . For a collection of other versions see BibRef Matthew 5 : 30 The link between the right hand and the discussion of adultery is somewhat unclear . In Jewish writings of the time it was common to have a foot , hand , eye triple structure . This full triple structure is seen in the similar discussions at Mark 9 : 43 - 47 , and a version much closer to that in Mark appears at Matthew 18 : 8 - 9 . Jesus here uses two thirds of the structure , the first reference to the eye is clearly linked to his previous statement that looking at a woman lustfully is sinful , but it is uncertain why he continues to the hand when he specifically stated that action and touching is not required for sin . Hill feels that this might be related to theft . At the time the law saw adultery as a form of theft , as it was taking another man 's wife . The right hand , the more active of the two among most of the population , had long been metaphorically associated with theft . An alternate view , that has been adopted by some in recent years , is that the mention of a hand linked to lust is a reference to masturbation . In the New Testament this is the verse most often cited to condemn that practice . A third view is to see this verse connected less to the previous verses , and more as part of the discussion of divorce that takes up the next two verses . This argument states that the cutting off of the sinful hand is a metaphor for separation from a sinful spouse , even if it causes great pain . References ( edit ) France , R.T.

Slender Man

Slender Man - wikipedia Slender Man For the upcoming film , see Slender Man ( film ) . Slender Man An artistic depiction of the Slender Man First appearance June 10 , 2009 on a Something Awful post Created by Eric Knudsen Portrayed by Javier Botet ( In the film Slender Man ) Information Gender Male The Slender Man ( also known as Slenderman ) is a fictional supernatural character that originated as a creepypasta Internet meme created by Something Awful forums user Eric Knudsen ( also known as `` Victor Surge '' ) in 2009 . It is depicted as a thin , unnaturally tall humanoid with a featureless head and face and wearing a black suit . Stories of the Slender Man commonly feature him stalking , abducting or traumatizing people , particularly children . The Slender Man is not confined to a single narrative but appears in many disparate works of fiction , typically composed online . Fiction relating to the Slender Man encompasses many media , including literature , art and video series such as Marble Hornets , wherein he is known as The Operator . Outside of online fiction , the Slender Man has become an internet icon and has influenced popular culture , having been referenced in the video game Minecraft with the Enderman character and generated video games of his own , such as Slender : The Eight Pages and Slender : The Arrival . He has also appeared in Always Watching : A Marble Hornets Story , the film adaptation of the Marble Hornets YouTube series , where he was portrayed by Doug Jones , and will appear in an upcoming eponymous film , where he will be portrayed by Javier Botet . Beginning in 2014 , a moral panic occurred over the Slender Man after readers of his fiction were connected to several violent acts , particularly a near - fatal stabbing of a 12 - year - old girl in Waukesha , Wisconsin . Contents ( hide ) 1 Origin 1.1 Development 2 Description 2.1 As folklore 3 Reasons for success 4 Copyright 5 Related incidents 5.1 Waukesha stabbing 5.2 Other incidents 6 References in media 7 See also 8 References 9 Further reading 10 External links Origin The writings of H.P. Lovecraft influenced the creation of the Slender Man . The Slender Man was created on June 10 , 2009 , on a thread in the Something Awful Internet forum . The thread was a Photoshop contest in which users were challenged to `` create paranormal images . '' Forum poster Eric Knudsen , under the pseudonym `` Victor Surge '' , contributed two black - and - white images of groups of children to which he added a tall , thin , spectral figure wearing a black suit . Although previous entries had consisted solely of photographs , Surge supplemented his submission with snatches of text -- supposedly from witnesses -- describing the abductions of the groups of children and giving the character the name `` The Slender Man '' : The quote under the first photograph read : We did n't want to go , we did n't want to kill them , but its persistent silence and outstretched arms horrified and comforted us at the same time ... -- 1983 , photographer unknown , presumed dead . The quote under the second photograph read : One of two recovered photographs from the Stirling City Library blaze . Notable for being taken the day which fourteen children vanished and for what is referred to as `` The Slender Man '' . Deformities cited as film defects by officials . Fire at library occurred one week later . Actual photograph confiscated as evidence . -- 1986 , photographer : Mary Thomas , missing since June 13th , 1986 . These additions effectively transformed the photographs into a work of fiction . Subsequent posters expanded upon the character , adding their own visual or textual contributions . Knudsen was inspired to create the Slender Man primarily by Zack Parsons ' `` That Insidious Beast '' , Stephen King 's The Mist , reports of shadow people , Mothman and the Mad Gasser of Mattoon . Other inspirations for the character were the Tall Man from the 1979 film Phantasm , H.P. Lovecraft , the surrealist work of William S. Burroughs , and the survival horror video games Silent Hill and Resident Evil . Knudsen 's intention was `` to formulate something whose motivations can barely be comprehended , and ( which caused ) unease and terror in a general population . '' Other pre-existing fictional or legendary creatures which are similar to the Slender Man include : the Gentlemen , black - suited , pale , bald demons from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode `` Hush '' ; Men in black , many accounts of which grant them an uncanny appearance with an unnatural walk and `` oriental '' features ; and The Question , a DC Comics superhero with a blank face , whose secret identity is `` Victor Sage '' , a name similar to Knudsen 's alias `` Victor Surge '' . In her book , Folklore , Horror Stories , and the Slender Man : The Development of an Internet Mythology , Professor Shira Chess of the University of Georgia connected the Slender Man to ancient folklore about fairies . Like fairies , Slender Man is otherworldly , with motives that are often difficult to grasp ; like fairies , his appearance is vague and often shifts to reflect what the viewer wants or fears to see , and , like fairies , the Slender Man calls the woods and wild places his home and kidnaps children . Development The Slender Man soon went viral , spawning numerous works of fanart , cosplay , and online fiction known as `` creepypasta '' -- scary stories told in short snatches of easily copyable text that spread from site to site . Divorced from its original creator , the Slender Man became the subject of myriad stories by multiple authors within an overarching mythos . Many aspects of the Slender Man mythos first appeared on the original Something Awful thread . One of the earliest additions was added by a forum user named `` Thoreau - Up '' , who created a folklore story set in 16th - century Germany involving a character called Der Groẞman , which was implied to be an early reference to the Slender Man . The first video series involving the Slender Man evolved from a post on the Something Awful thread by user `` ce gars '' . It tells of a fictional film school friend named Alex Kralie , who had stumbled upon something troubling while shooting his first feature - length project , Marble Hornets . The video series , published in found footage style on YouTube , forms an alternate reality game describing the filmers ' fictional experiences with the Slender Man . The ARG also incorporates a Twitter feed and an alternate YouTube channel created by a user named `` totheark '' . As of 2013 , Marble Hornets had over 250,000 subscribers around the world and had received 55 million views . Other Slender Man - themed YouTube serials followed , including EverymanHYBRID and TribeTwelve . In 2012 , the Slender Man was adapted into a video game titled Slender : The Eight Pages ; within its first month of release , the game was downloaded over 2 million times . Several popular variants of the game followed , including Slenderman 's Shadow and Slender Man for iOS , which became the second most - popular app download . The sequel to Slender : The Eight Pages , Slender : The Arrival , was released in 2013 . Several independent films about the Slender Man have been released or are in development , including Entity and The Slender Man , released free online after a $10,000 Kickstarter campaign . In 2013 , it was announced that Marble Hornets would become a feature film . In 2015 , the film adaptation , Always Watching : A Marble Hornets Story , was released on VOD , where the character was portrayed by Doug Jones . In 2016 , Sony Pictures subsidiary Screen Gems partnered with Mythology Entertainment to bring a Slender Man film into theatres , with the title character portrayed by Javier Botet . Description The `` Slender Man symbol '' introduced by Marble Hornets Because the Slender Man 's fictional `` mythology '' has evolved without an official `` canon '' for reference , his appearance , motives , habits , and abilities are not fixed but change depending on the storyteller . He is most commonly described as very tall and thin with unnaturally long , tentacle - like arms ( or merely tentacles ) , which he can extend to intimidate or capture prey . In most stories his face is white and featureless , but occasionally his face appears differently to anyone who sees it . He appears to be wearing a dark suit and tie . The Slender Man is often associated with the forest and / or abandoned locations and has the ability to teleport . Proximity to the Slender Man is often said to trigger a `` Slender sickness '' ; a rapid onset of paranoia , nightmares and delusions accompanied by nosebleeds . Early stories featured him targeting children or young adults . Some featured young adults driven insane or to act on his behalf , while others did not , and others claim that investigating the Slender Man will draw his attention . The web series Marble Hornets established the idea of proxies ( humans who fall under the Slender Man 's influence ) though initially they were simply violently insane , rather than puppets of the Slender Man . Marble Hornets also introduced the idea that the Slender Man could interfere with video and audio recordings , as well as the `` Slender Man symbol '' , which became a common trope of Slender fiction . Graphic violence and body horror are uncommon in the Slender Man mythos , with many narratives choosing to leave the fate of his victims obscure . Shira Chess notes that `` It is important to note that few of the retellings identify exactly what kind of monster the Slender Man might be , and what his specific intentions are - these points all remain mysteriously and usefully vague . '' As folklore Several scholars have argued that , despite being a fictional work with an identifiable origin point , the Slender Man represents a form of digital folklore . Shira Chess argues that the Slender Man exemplifies the similarities between traditional folklore and the open source ethos of the Internet , and that , unlike those of traditional monsters such as vampires and werewolves , the fact that the Slender Man 's mythos can be tracked and signposted offers a powerful insight into how myth and folklore form . Chess identifies three aspects of the Slender Man mythos that tie it to folklore : collectivity ( meaning that it is created by a collective , rather than a single individual ) , variability ( meaning that the story changes depending on the teller ) , and performance ( meaning that the storyteller 's narrative changes to reflect the responses of his / her audience ) . Andrew Peck also considers the Slender Man to be an authentic form of folklore and notes its similarity to emergent forms of offline legend performance . Peck suggests that digital folklore performance extends the dynamics of face - to - face performance in several notable ways , such as by occurring asynchronously , encouraging imitation and personalization while also allowing perfect replication , combining elements of oral , written , and visual communication , and generating shared expectations for performance that enact group identity despite the lack of a physically present group . He concludes that the Slender Man represents a digital legend cycle that combines the generic conventions and emergent qualities of oral and visual performance with the collaborative potential of networked communication . Jeff Tolbert also accepts the Slender Man as folkloric and suggests it represents a process he calls `` reverse ostension . '' Ostension in folkloristics is the process of acting out a folk narrative . According to Tolbert , the Slender Man does the opposite by creating a set of folklore - like narratives where none existed before . It is an iconic figure produced through a collective effort and deliberately modeled after an existing and familiar folklore genre . According to Tolbert , this represents two processes in one : it involves the creation of new objects and new disconnected examples of experience , and it involves the combination of these elements into a body of `` traditional '' narratives , modeled on existing folklore ( but not wholly indebted to any specific tradition ) . Professor Thomas Pettitt of the University of Southern Denmark has described the Slender Man as being an exemplar of the modern age 's closing of the `` Gutenberg Parenthesis '' ; the time period from the invention of the printing press to the spread of the web in which stories and information were codified in discrete media , to a return to the older , more primal forms of storytelling , exemplified by oral tradition and campfire tales , in which the same story can be retold , reinterpreted and recast by different tellers , expanding and evolving with time . Reasons for success Anonymous graffito of the Slender Man drawn on pavement in Raleigh , North Carolina Media scholar and folklorist Andrew Peck attributes the success of the Slender Man to its highly collaborative nature . Because the character and its motives are shrouded in mystery , users can easily adapt existing Slender Man tropes and imagery to create new stories . This ability for users to tap into the ideas of others while also supplying their own helped inspire the collaborative culture that arose surrounding the Slender Man . Instead of privileging the choices of certain creators as canonical , this collaborative culture informally locates ownership of the creature across the community . In these respects , the Slender Man is similar to campfire stories or urban legends , and the character 's success comes from enabling both social interaction and personal acts of creative expression . Although nearly all users understand that the Slender Man is not real , they suspend that disbelief in order to become more engrossed when telling or listening to stories . This adds a sense of authenticity to Slender Man legend performances and blurs the lines between legend and reality , keeping the creature as an object of legend dialectic . This ambiguity has led some to some confusion over the character 's origin and purpose . Only five months after his creation , George Noory 's Coast to Coast AM , a radio call - in show devoted to the paranormal and conspiracy theories , began receiving callers asking about the Slender Man . Two years later , an article in the Minneapolis Star Tribune described his origins as `` difficult to pinpoint . '' Eric Knudsen has commented that many people , despite understanding that the Slender Man was created on the Something Awful forums , still entertain the possibility that he might be real . Shira Chess describes the Slender Man as a metaphor for `` helplessness , power differentials , and anonymous forces . '' Peck sees parallels between the Slender Man and common anxieties about the digital age , such as feelings of constant connectedness and unknown third - party observation . Similarly , Tye Van Horn , a writer for The Elm , has suggested that the Slender Man represents modern fear of the unknown ; in an age flooded with information , people have become so unaccustomed to ignorance that they now fear what they can not understand . Troy Wagner , the creator of Marble Hornets , ascribes the terror of the Slender Man to its malleability ; people can shape it into whatever frightens them most . Tina Marie Boyer noted that `` The Slender man is a prohibitive monster , but the cultural boundaries he guards are not clear . Victims do not know when they have violated or crossed them . '' Copyright Despite his folkloric qualities , the Slender Man is not in the public domain . Several for - profit ventures involving the Slender Man have unequivocally acknowledged Knudsen as the creator of this fictional character , while others were civilly blocked from distribution ( including the Kickstarter - funded film ) after legal complaints from Knudsen and other sources . Though Knudsen himself has given his personal blessing to a number of Slender Man - related projects , the issue is complicated by the fact that , while he is the character 's creator , a third party holds the options to any adaptations into other media , including film and television . The identity of this option holder has not been made public . Knudsen himself has argued that his enforcement of copyright has less to do with money than with artistic integrity : `` I just want something amazing to come off it ... something that 's scary and disturbing and kinda different . I would hate for something to come out and just be kinda conventional . '' As of May 2016 , the media rights to Slender Man have been sold to production company Mythology Entertainment . Related incidents Waukesha stabbing Main article : Slender Man stabbing On May 31 , 2014 , two 12 - year - old girls in Waukesha , Wisconsin allegedly held down and stabbed a 12 - year - old classmate 19 times . When questioned later by authorities , they reportedly claimed that they wished to commit a murder as a first step to becoming proxies for the Slender Man , having read about it online . They also state that they were afraid that Slender Man would kill their families if they did not commit the murder . The victim was able to crawl from the woods , where she had been left , to reach a roadside . A passing cyclist intervened , and the victim survived the attack . Both attackers have been diagnosed with mental illnesses but have also been charged as adults and are each facing up to 65 years in prison . One of the girls reportedly said Slender Man watches her , can read minds , and could teleport . Experts testified in court she also said she conversed with Lord Voldemort and one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . On August 1 , 2014 , she was found incompetent to stand trial and her prosecution was suspended until her condition improved . On November 12 , 2014 , a doctor judged that her condition had improved enough for her to stand trial , and on December 19 , 2014 , the judge ruled that both girls were competent to stand trial . In August 2015 , the presiding judge ruled that the girls would be tried as adults . They were tried separately . On August 21 , 2017 , one of the girls , now 15 , pleaded guilty to being a party to attempted second - degree homicide , but claimed she was not responsible for her actions on grounds of insanity . Although prosecutors alleged that she knew what she was doing was wrong , the jury determined that she was mentally ill during the attack . She will spend at least three years in a mental hospital . On December 21 , Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren sentenced Weier , then 16 years - old , to be hospitalized for 25 years from the date of the crime , which would keep her institutionalized until age 37 . In a statement to the media , Eric Knudsen said , `` I am deeply saddened by the tragedy in Wisconsin and my heart goes out to the families of those affected by this terrible act . '' He stated he would not be giving interviews on the matter . On 25 September 2017 , it was reported that Morgan Geyser , then 15 , had agreed to plead guilty to attempting to commit first - degree homicide in an arrangement that would allow her avoid jail time . In terms of the arrangement Geyser would remain at the mental hospital where she had been staying for the past two years for at least a further three years . On February 1 , 2018 , the Associated Press reported that Geyser had been sentenced to 40 years in the Wisconsin mental hospital , the maximum sentence allowed . A documentary film on the incident called Beware the Slenderman was released by HBO Films in March 2016 , and was broadcast on HBO on January 23 , 2017 . Other incidents After hearing the story , an unidentified woman from Cincinnati , Ohio , told a WLWT TV reporter in June 2014 that her 13 - year - old daughter had attacked her with a knife , and had written macabre fiction , some involving the Slender Man , who the mother said motivated the attack . On September 4 , 2014 , a 14 - year - old girl in Port Richey , Florida , allegedly set her family 's house on fire while her mother and nine - year - old brother were inside . Police reported that the teenager had been reading online stories about Slender Man as well as Atsushi Ōkubo 's manga Soul Eater . Eddie Daniels of the Pasco County Sheriff 's Office said the girl `` had visited the website that contains a lot of the Slender Man information and stories ( ... ) It would be safe to say there is a connection to that . '' During an early 2015 epidemic of suicide attempts by young people ages 12 to 24 on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation , Slender Man was cited as an influence ; the Oglala Sioux tribe president noted that many Native Americans traditionally believe in a `` suicide spirit '' similar to the Slender Man .

For the Status Quo song , see Caroline ( Status Quo song ) . `` Sweet Caroline '' Single by Neil Diamond B - side `` Dig In '' Released June 1969 Genre Soft rock Length 3 : 21 Label Uni / MCA Songwriter ( s ) Neil Diamond Producer ( s ) Tommy Cogbill Neil Diamond Chips Moman Neil Diamond singles chronology `` Brother Love 's Traveling Salvation Show '' ( 1969 ) `` Sweet Caroline '' ( 1969 ) `` Holly Holy '' ( 1969 ) `` Brother Love 's Traveling Salvation Show '' ( 1969 ) `` Sweet Caroline '' ( 1969 ) `` Holly Holy '' ( 1969 ) `` Sweet Caroline '' is a song written and performed by American recording artist Neil Diamond and released in June 1969 as a single with the title `` Sweet Caroline ( Good Times Never Seemed So Good ) '' . It was arranged by Charles Calello , and recorded at American Sound Studio in Memphis , Tennessee . The song reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the week ending August 16 , 1969 , and was certified gold by the RIAA on August 18 , 1969 , for sales of one million singles . `` Sweet Caroline '' was also the first of fifty - eight entries on the US Easy Listening chart , peaking at # 3 . In the autumn of 1969 , Diamond performed `` Sweet Caroline '' on several television shows . It later reached No. 8 on the UK singles chart in 1971 . In a 2007 interview , Diamond stated the inspiration for his song was John F. Kennedy 's daughter , Caroline , who was eleven years old at the time it was released . Diamond sang the song to her at her 50th birthday celebration in 2007 . On December 21 , 2011 , in an interview on CBS 's The Early Show , Diamond said that a magazine cover photo of Caroline Kennedy as a young child on a horse with her parents in the background created an image in his mind , and the rest of the song came together about five years after seeing the picture . However , in 2014 Diamond said the song was about his then - wife Marsha , but he needed a three - syllable name to fit the melody . The song has proven to be enduringly popular and , as of November 2014 , has sold over two million digital downloads in the United States .

The original mono 45 mix had a louder orchestra and glockenspiel compared to the stereo version on the Brother Love 's Travelling Salvation Show LP . The third version was a remix found only on the initial CD release of Diamond 's His 12 Greatest Hits . This version has the orchestra mixed down and has the background vocals mixed up . It has a longer fade as well . A live version of the song is on his Hot August Night LP . Use at sporting events ( edit ) The playing of `` Sweet Caroline '' has become a fixture at many sporting events in the United States . In this version , the horn figure after Diamond sings `` Sweet Caroline '' in the chorus is replaced by the crowd singing `` Bap Bap Bah '' , and after he sings `` Good times never seemed so good , '' the crowd sings `` So good , so good , so good . '' This pattern is repeated whenever the chorus is played . The song has been played at Fenway Park , home of Major League Baseball 's Boston Red Sox , since at least 1997 , and in the middle of the eighth inning at every game since 2002 . On opening night of the 2010 season at Fenway Park , the song was performed by Diamond himself . `` Sweet Caroline '' was played at Penn State Nittany Lions football games at Beaver Stadium until August 2012 , halting after the Penn State child sex abuse scandal . Performances at Beaver Stadium resumed in September 2013 , however . The song is played at the start of the fourth quarter of Pittsburgh Panthers Football games at Heinz Field . In response , West Virginia University students and fans will yell `` eat shit , Pitt '' during the refrain if heard played . It is also an unofficial song of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill , being played at athletic events and pep rallies . On April 16 , 2013 , the day after the Boston Marathon bombing , the New York Yankees -- longtime rivals of the Red Sox -- announced they would play the song during their home game , preceded by a moment of silence , as a tribute to the victims . On Saturday , April 20 , 2013 , during the 8th inning of the Red Sox - Kansas City game in Fenway Park , Neil Diamond led the crowd in a rendition of the song . The song was sung at sporting events across the country after the Boston Marathon bombings , in efforts to show solidarity with those affected by the tragedy . It was also played right before the start of the Hamburg Marathon in Hamburg , Germany , on Sunday , April 21 , 2013 , subsequent to a minute of silence . The song was also played before the start of the Stockholm Marathon in Stockholm , Sweden , on Saturday , June 1 , 2013 , as a tribute to those affected by the Boston Marathon bombings . On April 25 , 2013 , `` Sweet Caroline '' was played following a tribute to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing during the NFL Draft . Diamond has announced that he will donate all royalties from sales of the song since the marathon bombings to the One Fund Boston charity to help the people most affected by the bombings . Diamond said that sales of the song surged nearly 600 percent in the week after the bombings , to 19,000 copies , up from 2,800 the week before . The song is played after every Carolina Panthers home win . The song is used by the Northern Ireland national football team fans at major tournaments . It is also used by the Castleford Tigers rugby league club after a win at the Mend a hose stadium . It is also used by Northern Irish darts player Daryl Gurney in his walk - on prior to matches which he plays in . The song is also played during the quarter time break of Sydney Swans AFL home games at the Sydney Cricket Ground . The song has also been adopted by Oxford United . The song 's introduction , first verse and chorus are one of the regular songs played at English T20 cricket matches , getting particular coverage on televised matches , especially when David `` Bumble '' Lloyd is part of the commentary team . It is also played at the Olympia Horse Show . At the 2018 Australian Open Women 's Final , Sweet Caroline was played when Caroline Wozniacki won her maiden Grand Slam Title . Personnel ( edit ) Neil Diamond - vocals , guitar Cover versions ( edit ) Roy Orbison covered the song on his 1973 album Milestones , primarily a covers album . Claude Gray in 1986 released a cover version . It peaked at # 77 on the Billboard country charts , making it his last charted single to date . In November 2001 , Dustin the Turkey took the song to number one on the Irish Singles Chart . DJ Ötzi , an Austrian entertainer and singer released it in 2009 finding great success in German - speaking charts peaking at number 19 on the German Singles Chart and number 18 on the Austrian charts .

Black Knight (Monty Python)

Black Knight ( Monty Python ) - wikipedia Black Knight ( Monty Python ) Jump to : navigation , search The Black Knight 's arm is cut off . The Black Knight is a fictional character who appears in a scene of the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail . As his name suggests , he is a black knight who guards a `` bridge '' ( in reality a short plank of wood ) over a small stream - which could have been easily stepped over by King Arthur but , for unknown reasons , he does not . Although supremely skilled in swordplay , the Black Knight suffers from unchecked overconfidence and a staunch refusal ever to give up . Contents ( hide ) 1 Overview 2 Behind the scenes 3 See also 4 Notes 5 External links Overview ( edit ) In the film , King Arthur ( Graham Chapman ) , accompanied by his trusty squire Patsy ( Terry Gilliam ) , is travelling through a forest when he enters a clearing and observes a fight taking place between a Black Knight ( John Cleese ) and a Green one ( also played by Gilliam ) by a bridge over a small stream . As he watches , the Black Knight defeats the Green one by throwing his sword straight through the eye slot of the Green Knight 's great helm ( during Arthur 's battle with the Black Knight , the Green Knight 's body can be seen in a ditch beside the area ) . Arthur then congratulates the Black Knight and offers him a place at Arthur 's court at the Round Table , but the Black Knight only stands still , holding his sword vertically , and makes no response until Arthur moves to cross the bridge . The Black Knight moves slightly to block Arthur and declares `` None shall pass '' . King Arthur , in a conciliatory manner , asserts his right to cross , but the Black Knight says Arthur will die . Arthur orders the Black Knight to move but he says , `` I move , for no man '' . Reluctantly , King Arthur fights the Black Knight and , after a short battle , the Knight 's left arm is severed , which squirts out copious amounts of blood . Even at this the Knight refuses to stand aside , insisting `` Tis but a scratch '' , insisting that he has `` had worse '' , and fights on while holding his sword with his remaining arm . Next his right arm is cut off , but the knight still does not concede . As the Knight is literally disarmed , Arthur assumes the fight is over and kneels to offer a prayer to God . The Black Knight interrupts Arthur 's prayer of thanks by kicking him in the side of the head and accusing him of cowardice . When Arthur points out the Black Knight 's injuries , the Knight insists `` ' It 's just a flesh wound ! '' . In response to the continued kicks and insults , Arthur chops off the Black Knight 's right leg . At this point , the Knight still wo n't admit to defeat , instead he replies by saying , `` Right , I 'll do you for that '' , and attempts to ram his body into Arthur 's , by hopping on his left leg . Arthur is annoyed at the Black Knight 's persistence , and sarcastically asks the Black Knight if he is going to bleed on him to win . The Black Knight replies by saying , `` I 'm invincible ! '' to which Arthur replies `` You 're a loony . '' . With an air of resignation , Arthur finally cuts off the left leg as well and sheathes his sword . With the Black Knight now reduced to a mere stump of a man , he says , `` All right , we 'll call it a draw . '' . Arthur then summons Patsy and `` rides '' away , using coconuts to simulate the sound of a horse galloping , leaving the Black Knight 's limbless torso screaming threats at him ( `` Running away , eh ? You yellow bastards ! Come back here and take what 's coming to ya ! I 'll bite your legs off ! '' ) . Behind the scenes ( edit ) According to the DVD audio commentary by Cleese , Palin , and Idle , the sequence originated in a story told to Cleese when he was attending an English class during his school days . Two Roman wrestlers were engaged in a particularly intense match and had been fighting for such a substantial length of time that the match had degraded to the two combatants doing little more than leaning into one another with their body weight . When one wrestler finally tapped - out and pulled away from his opponent , it was only then that he and the crowd realised the other man was , in fact , dead and had effectively won the match posthumously . The moral of the tale , according to Cleese 's teacher , was `` if you never give up , you ca n't possibly lose '' -- a statement that , Cleese reflected , always struck him as being `` philosophically unsound '' . The story would have been a deformed ( or misremembered ) description of the death of Arrichion of Phigalia . Cleese said that the scene would seem heartless and sadistic except for the fact that the Black Knight shows no pain and just keeps on fighting , or trying to , however badly he is wounded . Also , as the scene progresses and Arthur becomes increasingly annoyed , his dialogue lapses from medieval ( `` You are indeed brave , Sir Knight , but the fight is mine . '' ) to modern ( `` Look , you stupid bastard , you 've got no arms left ! '' ) , and finally to just plain sarcastic ( `` What are you gon na do , bleed on me ? '' ) while the Black Knight remains just as defiant ( `` I 'm invincible ! '' he yells with only one leg left , to which Arthur simply replies `` You 're a loony . '' ) . This scene is one of the best - known of the entire film . A famous line of the scene , `` ' Tis but a scratch . '' , is similar to a line the character Mercutio speaks in Shakespeare 's Romeo and Juliet , wherein he demurs , saying `` Ay , ay , a scratch , a scratch , '' referring to his mortal wound , and the former has since become an expression used to comment on someone who ignores a fatal flaw or problem . The phrase `` ' Tis but a flesh wound '' , following a character entering `` with coconut shells tied to his feet '' notably appeared in an early episode of The Goon Show titled `` The Giant Bombardon '' , broadcast in 1954 ; the Monty Python group has acknowledged being influenced by the Goons . The Knight was , in fact , played by two actors : John Cleese is in the Knight 's armour until he is down to one leg . The Knight is then played by a real one - legged man , a local by the name of Richard Burton , a blacksmith who lived near the film shoot ( not to be confused with Richard Burton , the Welsh actor of the same name ) , because , according to the DVD commentary , Cleese could not balance well on one leg . After the Knight 's remaining leg is cut off , the quadruple - amputee that remains is again Cleese . Cleese still boasts that he had Richard Burton as his stunt double . In the musical Spamalot , the scene with the Black Knight was the most difficult to play on stage , according to Eric Idle . Penn & Teller created the illusion for the musical .

ANP is synthesized , and secreted by cardiac muscle cells in the walls of the atria in the heart . These cells contain volume receptors which respond to increased stretching of the atrial wall due to increased atrial blood volume . ANP is one of a family of nine natriuretic peptides : seven are atrial in origin . ANP acts on the kidney to increase sodium and water excretion ( natriuresis ) in the following ways : 1 ) it dilates the glomerular afferent and constricts efferent arterioles , and relaxes the mesangial cells . This increases pressure in the glomerular capillaries , increasing the glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ) , resulting in an increased amount of sodium and water being filtered and excreted. 2 ) It increases blood flow through the vasa recta , which washes the solutes sodium chloride ( NaCl ) and urea out of the medullary interstitium -- the lower osmolarity here leads to less reabsorption of tubular fluid and increased excretion. 3 ) It decreases sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule and cortical collecting duct. 4 ) It inhibits renin secretion , thereby inhibiting the production of angiotensin and aldosterone. 5 ) It inhibits the renal sympathetic nervous system . ANP has the opposite effect of aldosterone on the kidney : aldosterone increases renal sodium retention and ANP increases renal sodium loss . Reduction of blood volume by ANP can result in secondary effects such as reduction of extracellular fluid ( ECF ) volume ( edema ) , improved cardiac ejection fraction with resultant improved organ perfusion , decreased blood pressure , and increased serum potassium . These effects may be blunted or negated by various counter-regulatory mechanisms operating concurrently on each of these secondary effects . Brain natriuretic peptide ( BNP ) -- a misnomer ; it is secreted by cardiac muscle cells in the heart ventricles -- is similar to ANP in its effect . It acts via the same receptors as ANP does , but with 10-fold lower affinity than ANP . The biological half - life of BNP , however , is twice as long as that of ANP , and that of NT - proBNP is even longer , making these peptides better choices than ANP for diagnostic blood testing .

Later , the substance was purified from heart tissue by several groups and named atrial natriuretic factor ( ANF ) or ANP . Structure ( edit ) ANP is a 28 - amino acid peptide with a 17 - amino acid ring in the middle of the molecule . The ring is formed by a disulfide bond between two cysteine residues at positions 7 and 23 . ANP is closely related to BNP ( brain natriuretic peptide ) and CNP ( C - type natriuretic peptide ) , which all share a similar amino acid ring structure . ANP is one of a family of nine structurally similar natriuretic hormones : seven are atrial in origen . Production ( edit ) Human ANP is encoded by the NPPA gene on the short arm of chromosome 1 , which has 3 exons and 2 introns . The gene is expressed primarily in atrial myocytes . Lower levels of NPPA expression are found in other tissues such as the brain , kidney , lung , uterus and placenta . In atrial myocytes , ANP is made as a precursor form , i.e. prepro - ANP , a polypeptide of 151 amino acids . After the signal peptide is removed in the endoplasmic reticulum , the 126 - amino - acid pro-ANP is stored in the intracellular granules . When the cells are stimulated , pro-ANP is released and converted to the 28 - amino - acid C - terminal mature ANP on the cell surface by the cardiac transmembrane serine protease corin . ANP is secreted in response to : Stretching of the atrial wall , via Atrial volume receptors Increased Sympathetic stimulation of β - adrenoceptors Increased sodium concentration ( hypernatremia ) , though sodium concentration is not the direct stimulus for increased ANP secretion Endothelin , a potent vasoconstrictor Receptors ( edit ) Three types of atrial natriuretic peptide receptors have been identified on which natriuretic peptides act . They are all cell surface receptors and designated : guanylyl cyclase - A ( GC - A ) also known as natriuretic peptide receptor - A ( NPRA / ANP ) or NPR1 guanylyl cyclase - B ( GC - B ) also known as natriuretic peptide receptor - B ( NPRB / ANP ) or NPR2 natriuretic peptide clearance receptor ( NPRC / ANP ) or NPR3 NPR - A and NPR - B have a single membrane - spanning segment with an extracellular domain that binds the ligand . The intracellular domain maintains two consensus catalytic domains for guanylyl cyclase activity . Binding of a natriuretic peptide induces a conformational change in the receptor that causes receptor dimerization and activation . The binding of ANP to its receptor causes the conversion of GTP to cGMP and raises intracellular cGMP . As a consequence , cGMP activates a cGMP - dependent kinase ( PKG or cGK ) that phosphorylates proteins at specific serine and threonine residues . In the medullary collecting duct , the cGMP generated in response to ANP may act not only through PKG but also via direct modulation of ion channels . NPR - C functions mainly as a clearance receptor by binding and sequestering ANP from the circulation . All natriuretic peptides are bound by the NPR - C . Physiological effects ( edit ) Maintenance of the ECF volume ( space ) , and its subcompartment the vascular space , is crucial for survival . These compartments are maintained within a narrow range , despite wide variations in dietary sodium intake . There are three volume regulating systems : two salt saving systems , the renin angiotensin aldosterone system ( RAAS ) and the renal sympathetic system ( RSS ) ; and the salt excreting natriuretic peptide ( NP ) hormone system . When the vascular space contracts , the RAAS and RSS are `` turned on '' ; when the atria expand , NP 's are `` turned on '' . Each system also suppresses its counteracting system ( s ) . NP 's are made in cardiac , intestinal , renal , and adrenal tissue : ANP in one of a family of cardiac NP 's : others at BNP , CNP , and DNP . ANP binds to a specific set of receptors -- ANP receptors . Receptor - agonist binding causes the increase in renal sodium excretion , which results in a decreased ECF and blood volume . Secondary effects may be an improvement in cardiac ejection fraction and reduction of systemic blood pressure . Renal ( edit ) Dilates the afferent glomerular arteriole , constricts the efferent glomerular arteriole , and relaxes the mesangial cells . This increases pressure in the glomerular capillaries , thus increasing the glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ) , resulting in greater filter load of sodium and water . Increases blood flow through the vasa recta , which will wash the solutes ( sodium chloride ( NaCl ) , and urea ) out of the medullary interstitium . The lower osmolarity of the medullary interstitium leads to less reabsorption of tubular fluid and increased excretion . Decreases sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule ( interaction with NCC ) and cortical collecting duct of the nephron via guanosine 3 ' , 5 ' - cyclic monophosphate ( cGMP ) dependent phosphorylation of ENaC . Its natriuretic effect is affected by dopamine and dopamine receptor D activity in vivo Inhibits renin secretion , thereby inhibiting the renin -- angiotensin -- aldosterone system . Adrenal ( edit ) Reduces aldosterone secretion by the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex . Vascular ( edit ) Relaxes vascular smooth muscle in arterioles and venules by : Membrane Receptor - mediated elevation of vascular smooth muscle cGMP Inhibition of the effects of catecholamines Promotes uterine spiral artery remodeling , which is important for preventing pregnancy - induced hypertension . Cardiac ( edit ) Inhibits maladaptive cardiac hypertrophy Re-expression of NPRA rescues the phenotype . Adipose tissue ( edit ) Increases the release of free fatty acids from adipose tissue . Plasma concentrations of glycerol and nonesterified fatty acids are increased by i.v. infusion of ANP in humans . Activates adipocyte plasma membrane type A guanylyl cyclase receptors NPR - A Increases intracellular cGMP levels that induce the phosphorylation of a hormone - sensitive lipase and perilipin A via the activation of a cGMP - dependent protein kinase - I ( cGK - I ) Does not modulate cAMP production or PKA activity Degradation ( edit ) Modulation of the effects of ANP is achieved through gradual degradation of the peptide by the enzyme neutral endopeptidase ( NEP ) . Recently , NEP inhibitors have been developed ; however they have not yet been licensed . They may be clinically useful in treating congestive heart disease . Biomarker ( edit ) Fragments derived from the ANP precursor , including the signal peptide , N - terminal pro-ANP and ANP , have been detected in human blood . ANP and related peptides are used as biomarkers for cardiovascular diseases such as stroke , coronary artery disease , myocardial infarction and heart failure . Large amounts of ANP secretion has been noted to cause electrolyte disturbances ( hyponatremia ) and polyuria . These indications can be a marker of a large atrial myxoma . Therapeutic use and drug development ( edit ) Recombinant human ANP has been approved in Japan to treat patients with heart failure . As of 2017 a truncated form of ANP called ularitide was under development in Phase III trials for heart failure . Other natriuretic peptides ( edit ) Brain natriuretic peptide ( BNP ) -- a misnomer ; it is secreted by ventricular myocytes -- is similar to ANP in its effect . It acts via atrial natriuretic peptide receptors but with 10-fold lower affinity than ANP . The biological half - life of BNP , however , is twice as long as that of ANP , and that of NT - proBNP is even longer , making these peptides better choices than ANP for diagnostic blood testing . In addition to the mammalian natriuretic peptides ( ANP , BNP , CNP ) , other natriuretic peptides with similar structure and properties have been isolated elsewhere in the animal kingdom . A salmon natriuretic peptide known as salmon cardiac peptide has been described , and dendroaspis natriuretic peptide ( DNP ) has been found in the venom of the green mamba , as well as an NP in a species of African snake . Beside these four , five additional natriuretic peptides have been identified : long - acting natriuretic peptide ( LANP ) , vessel dilator , kaliuretic peptide , urodilatin , and adrenomedullin . Pharmacological modulation ( edit ) Neutral endopeptidase ( NEP ) also known as neprilysin is the enzyme that metabolizes natriuretic peptides . Several inhibitors of NEP are currently being developed to treat disorders ranging from hypertension to heart failure . Most of them are dual inhibitors ( NEP and ACE ) . In 2014 , PARADIGM - HF study was published in NEJM . This study considered as a landmark study in treatment of heart failure . The study was double blinded ; compared LCZ696 versus enalapril in patients with heart failure . The study showed lower all cause mortality , cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization in LCZ696 arm . Omapatrilat ( dual inhibitor of NEP and angiotensin - converting enzyme ) developed by BMS did not receive FDA approval due to angioedema safety concerns . Other dual inhibitors of NEP with ACE / angiotensin receptor are ( in 2003 ) being developed by pharmaceutical companies . Synonyms ( edit ) ANP is also called atrial natriuretic factor ( ANF ) , atrial natriuretic hormone ( ANH ) , cardionatrine , cardiodilatin ( CDD ) , and atriopeptin .

Mongolia and Tuva became contested territories . After being occupied by the Chinese General Xu Shuzheng in 1919 , they came under the sway of the Russian White Guard General turned independent warlord , Ungern von Sternberg in 1920 . Soviet troops , with support from Mongolian guerrillas led by Damdin Sükhbaatar , defeated the White warlord and established a new pro-Soviet Mongolian client state , which by 1924 became the Mongolian People 's Republic . The KMT , the CCP , the Chinese Civil War and the establishment of diplomatic relations ( edit ) In 1921 the Soviet Union began supporting the Kuomintang ( KMT ) , and in 1923 the Comintern instructed the Chinese Communist Party ( commonly abbreviated as CCP ) to sign a military treaty with the KMT . On May 31 , 1924 , the two governments signed an agreement to establish diplomatic relations , while the Soviet government renounced in that agreement all privileges granted to the Tsarist government in China . But in 1926 KMT leader Chiang Kai - shek abruptly dismissed his Soviet advisers and imposed restrictions on CCP participation in the government . By 1927 , after the conclusion of the Northern Expedition , Chiang purged the CCP from the KMT - CCP alliance , resulting in the Chinese Civil War which would last until 1949 , a few months after the proclamation of the People 's Republic of China , led by Mao Zedong . During the war the Soviets gave some support to the CCP , which in 1934 suffered a crushing blow when the KMT brought an end to the Chinese Soviet Republic , thus causing the CCP 's Long March from Shaanxi . The Soviet Union tried and failed in an attempt to make the Hui hostile to China . Sino - Soviet conflict , 1929 ( edit ) Main article : Sino - Soviet conflict ( 1929 ) The Sino - Soviet conflict of 1929 was a minor armed conflict between the Soviet Union and the Republic of China over the Manchurian Chinese Eastern Railway . The Chinese seized the Manchurian Chinese Eastern Railway in 1929 , swift Soviet military intervention quickly put an end to the crisis and forced the Chinese to accept restoration of joint Soviet - Chinese administration of the railway . Soviet invasion of Xinjiang ( edit ) Main article : Soviet Invasion of Xinjiang In 1934 the Republic of China 36th Division ( National Revolutionary Army ) , which was composed of Muslims , severely mauled the Soviet Union Red Army and their White Russian allies when the Soviets attempted to seize Xinjiang . Xinjiang War ( 1937 ) ( edit ) Main article : Xinjiang War ( 1937 ) The Soviet Union intervened again in Xinjiang in 1937 . Second Sino - Japanese War and World War II ( edit ) Monument to the Soviet Volunteer Airmen who died in defense of China from Japanese invaders . The unit was based in Wuhan in 1938 In 1931 , Japan invaded Manchuria and created the puppet state of Manchukuo ( 1932 ) , which signaled the beginning of the Second Sino - Japanese War . In 1937 , a month after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident , the Soviet Union established a non-aggression pact with the Republic of China . During the World War II period , the two countries suffered more losses than any other country , with China ( in the Second Sino - Japanese war ) losing about 30 million people and the Soviet Union 26 million . Joint victory over imperial Japan ( edit ) On August 8 , 1945 , three months after Nazi Germany surrendered , and on the week of the American Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki , the Soviet Union launched the invasion of Manchuria , a massive military operation mobilizing 1.5 million soldiers against one million Kwantung Army troops , the last remaining Japanese military presence . Soviet forces won a decisive victory while the Kwantung suffered massive casualties , with 700,000 having surrendered . The Soviet Union distributed some of the weapons of the captured Kwantung Army to the CCP , who were still battling the KMT in the Chinese Civil War . Ili rebellion ( edit ) Main article : Ili Rebellion While the Republic of China was concentrating on the Second Sino - Japanese War , the USSR supported Uyghur nationalists in their uprise in Xinjiang and set up Second East Turkestan Republic against Kuomintang . After the Chinese Communist Party defeated Kuomintang in 1949 , USSR terminated support for the Second East Turkestan Republic . The Soviets tried to spread anti-Chinese propaganda among minorities in Xinjiang , but this backfired when Uyghur mobs attacked White Russians and called for them to be expelled from Xinjiang . Pei - ta - shan incident ( edit ) Main article : Pei - ta - shan Incident Chinese Muslim forces fought against Soviet and Mongol troops in this incident . Chinese Civil War and the People 's Republic of China ( edit ) After 1946 , the CCP was increasingly successful in the Civil War . On October 1 , 1949 , the People 's Republic of China was proclaimed by Mao Zedong , and by May 1950 the KMT had been expelled from Mainland China , remaining in control of Taiwan . With the creation of the People 's Republic of China , the supreme political authority in the two countries became centred in two communist parties , both espousing revolutionary , Marxist -- Leninist ideology : the Communist Party of China and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union . After the establishment of the People 's Republic of China , a sensitive issue which influenced the Sino - Soviet relationship emerged . As a condition of fighting the Kwantung Army at the end of the Second World War , the Soviet Union received usage rights of the China Far East Railway , the South Manchuria Railway , Lushun ( also known as Port Arthur ) and Dalian . These privileges were significant in the Asian strategies of the Soviet Union because Port Arthur and Dalian were ice - free ports for the Soviet Navy , and the China Far East Railway and the South Manchuria Railway were the essential arterial communications which connected Siberia to Port Arthur and Dalian . As Mao Zedong thought that the usage rights of the Chinese Eastern Railway , the South Manchuria Railway , the Port Arthur and Dalian were part of Chinese state sovereignty , he required the Soviet Union to return these interests to China , and this was a crucial part of the Sino - Soviet Treaty of Friendship . Joseph Stalin initially refused this treaty , but finally made a great concession , and agreed with this treaty under the various stresses of the period . Since the Sino - Soviet Treaty of Friendship resulted in the Soviet Union losing its naval bases in Port Arthur and Dalian , the issue that Stalin had to face was to find a new ice - free port as a Soviet naval base . This issue motivated Stalin 's support for allowing Kim Il - Sung to launch the Korean War . However , both Kim Il - Sung and Stalin did not consider that the United States would intervene into that war immediately , if at all . Kim Il - Sung could not sustain the attack against the US Army . When Kim Il - Sung required military assistance from the Soviet Union and China , Mao agreed to send Chinese troops , but asked the Soviet Air Force to provide air cover . As the two leaders distrusted each other , Stalin agreed with sending Chinese troops to Korea , but refused to provide air cover . Since without the air cover from the Soviet Union , Mao once considered that China did not send troops into Korea , and Stalin at one time decided to give up the Korea Peninsula . After much cogitation , Mao solely sent Chinese troops into Korea on 19 October 1950 under an extremely hard Chinese economic and military situation . This activity ultimately changed the Sino - Soviet relationship . After 12 days of Chinese troops entering the war , Stalin allowed the Soviet Air Force to provide air cover , and supported more aid to China . Mao sending Chinese troops to take part in the Korean War was followed by large - scale economic and military cooperation between China and the Soviet Union , and the friendly relationship of the two countries changed from titular to virtual . In one less known example of the Sino - Soviet military cooperation , in April -- June 1952 a group of Soviet Tupolev Tu - 4 aircraft were based in Beijing to perform reconnaissance missions on American fusion bomb tests in the Pacific . Sino - Soviet split ( edit ) Main article : Sino - Soviet split Further information : Sino - Soviet relations during the Brezhnev Era Thus , in the immediate years after the PRC was proclaimed , the Soviet Union became its closest ally . Soviet design , equipment and skilled labour was set out to help industrialize and modernize the PRC . But the extent of actual support , while not insignificant , fell well below Chinese expectations . In the 1960s , relations became deeply strained following the Sino - Soviet Split , culminating in the Sino - Soviet border conflict in 1969 . Increasingly , the PRC began to consider the Soviet Union , which it viewed as Social imperialist , as the greatest threat it faced . In turn , overtures were made between the PRC and the US , such as in the Ping Pong Diplomacy and the 1972 Nixon visit to China . The Soviet Union had encouraged Uyghurs to rebel against China . Post-mao era and stabilizing relations ( edit ) In 1976 , Mao died , and in 1978 , the Gang of Four were overthrown by Deng Xiaoping , who was to soon implement pro-market economic reform . With the PRC no longer espousing the anti-revisionist notion of the antagonistic contradiction between classes , relations between the two countries became gradually normalized . In 1979 , however , the PRC launched the Sino - Vietnamese War , a failed invasion of Vietnam ( which had , after a period of ambivalence , sided with the Soviet Union ) in response to the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia which overthrew the China - backed Khmer Rouge from power . During the Sino - Soviet split , strained relations between China and the Soviet Union resulted in strained relations between China and the pro-Soviet Afghan communist regime . China and Afghanistan had neutral relations with each other during the rule of King Zahir Shah . When the pro-Soviet Afghan communists seized power in Afghanistan in 1978 , relations between China and the Afghan communists quickly turned hostile . The Afghan pro-Soviet communists supported the Vietnamese during the Sino - Vietnamese War and blamed China for supporting Afghan anti-communist militants . China responded to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan by supporting the Afghan Mujahideen and ramping up their military presence near Afghanistan in Xinjiang . China acquired military equipment from the United States to defend itself from Soviet attack . China moved its training camps for the Mujahideen from Pakistan into China itself . Hundreds of millions worth of anti-aircraft missiles , rocket launchers and machine guns were given to the Mujahideen by the Chinese . Chinese military advisors and army troops were present with the Mujahideen during training . Even though Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev went on to criticize the post-Maoist CCP when it allowed for PRC millionaires as having lost the socialist path , with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and early 1990s , the Soviet Union itself turned to privatization . Dissolution of the Soviet Union ( edit ) Unlike that of the PRC , this was a much more extreme , highly unregulated form of privatization which resulted in massive losses to foreign speculators , near - anarchical conditions and economic collapse . Thus , in the post-Cold War period , while the Soviet Union remained vastly more developed ( economically and militarily ) , in a systemic and deep way ( i.e. , the PRC in 1949 was less industrialized than Russia in 1914 ) , the PRC emerged in a far more favourable and stable financial position . While the severe Soviet shortage of capital was new , Chinese economic and military underdevelopment was not . Nor was the PRC 's desperate and ever - growing need for mineral resources , especially petroleum fuel , which the Soviet Union held in abundance in such Asiatic regions as western Siberia .

List of solar eclipses in the 21st century

List of Solar Eclipses in the 21st century - wikipedia List of Solar Eclipses in the 21st century Jump to : navigation , search Lists of solar eclipses Geometry of a total solar eclipse ( not to scale ) Centuries BC ( show ) 20th 19th 18th 17th 16th 15th 14th 13th 12th 11th 10th 9th 8th 7th 6th 5th 4th 3rd 2nd 1st AD 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th 21st 22nd 23rd 24th 25th 26th 27th 28th 29th 30th Eclipses seen from Australia China Philippines Russia Ukraine United Kingdom United States See also Lists of lunar eclipses Total solar eclipse of July 22 , 2009 , from Bangladesh . During the 21st century , there will be 224 solar eclipses of which 77 will be partial , 72 will be annular , 68 will be total and 7 will be hybrids between total and annular eclipses . Of these , two annular and one total eclipse will be non-central , in the sense that the very center ( axis ) of the moon 's shadow will miss the earth ( for more information see gamma ) . In the 21st century the greatest number of eclipses in one year is four , in 2011 , 2029 , 2047 , 2065 , 2076 , and 2094 . The predictions given here are by Fred Espenak of NASA 's Goddard Space Flight Center . At this point , the longest duration in which the moon completely covered the sun , known as totality , was during the solar eclipse of July 22 , 2009 . This total solar eclipse had a maximum duration of 6 minutes and 39 seconds . The longest possible duration of a total solar eclipse is 7 minutes and 32 seconds . The longest annular solar eclipse of the 21st century took place on January 15 , 2010 , with a duration of 11 minutes and 8 seconds . The maximum possible duration is 12 minutes and 29 seconds . The eclipse of May 20 , 2050 , will be the second hybrid eclipse in the span of less than one year , the first one being on November 25 , 2049 . The next solar eclipse ( Partial ) will occur on February 15 , 2018 ; the last solar eclipse ( Total ) occurred on August 21 , 2017 . The table contains the date and time of the greatest eclipse ( in dynamical time , which in this case is the time when the axis of the Moon 's shadow cone passes closest to the centre of Earth ; this is in Universal Time ) . The number of the saros series that the eclipse belongs to is given , followed by the magnitude of the eclipse ( the fraction of the Sun 's diameter obscured by the Moon ) and the type of the eclipse ( either total , annular , partial or hybrid ) . For total and annular eclipses , the duration of the eclipse is given , as well as the location of the greatest eclipse ( the point of maximum eclipse ) and the path width of the total or annular eclipse . The geographical areas from which the eclipse can be seen are listed .

He began his career in a vaudeville tap show , creating the act `` Sanford & Bolger '' with his dance partner . In 1926 , he danced at New York City 's legendary Palace Theatre , the premier vaudeville theatre in the United States . His limber body and improvisational dance movement won him many leading roles on Broadway in the 1930s . Eventually , his career would also encompass film , television and nightclub work . In 1932 he was elected to the theater club , The Lambs . Early career ( edit ) Bolger signed his first cinema contract with MGM in 1936 , and although The Wizard of Oz was early in his film career , he appeared in other movies of note . His best known pre-Oz appearance was The Great Ziegfeld ( 1936 ) , in which he portrayed himself . He also appeared in Sweethearts ( 1938 ) , the first MGM film in Technicolor , starring Nelson Eddy , Jeanette MacDonald , and Frank Morgan . He also appeared in the Eleanor Powell vehicle Rosalie ( 1937 ) , which also starred Eddy and Morgan . The Wizard of Oz ( edit ) Bolger as the Scarecrow Bolger 's MGM contract stipulated that he would play any part the studio chose . However , he was unhappy when he was originally cast as the Tin Woodman in the studio 's 1939 feature film adaptation of The Wizard of Oz . The role of the Scarecrow had already been assigned to another dancing studio contract player , Buddy Ebsen . In time , the roles were switched . Bolger 's face was permanently lined by wearing the Scarecrow 's makeup . Post-oz film career ( edit ) Following Oz , Bolger moved to RKO Pictures . In 1941 , he was a featured act at the Paramount Theatre in New York , working with the Harry James Band . He would do tap dance routines , sometimes in a mock - challenge dance with the band 's pianist , Al Lerner . One day during this period , the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor , and Bolger 's performance was interrupted by President Roosevelt 's announcement of the news of the attack . Bolger toured in USO shows with Joe E. Lewis in the Pacific Theater during World War II , and was featured in the United Artists wartime film Stage Door Canteen . In 1946 , he returned to MGM for a featured role in The Harvey Girls . Also that year , he recorded a children 's album , The Churkendoose , featuring the story of a misfit fowl ( `` part chicken , turkey , duck , and goose '' ) which teaches children that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it `` all depends on how you look at things '' . Broadway and television ( edit ) Bolger in a publicity photo for The Bell Telephone Hour , 1963 Bolger 's Broadway credits included Life Begins at 8 : 40 ( 1934 ) , On Your Toes ( 1936 ) , By Jupiter ( 1942 ) , All American ( 1962 ) and Where 's Charley ? ( 1948 ) , for which he won the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical and in which he introduced `` Once in Love with Amy '' , the song often connected with him . He repeated his stage role in the 1952 film version of the musical . He also made April in Paris ( 1952 ) with Doris Day . Bolger appeared in his own ABC television sitcom with a variety show theme , Where 's Raymond ? ( 1953 -- 1954 ) , renamed the second year as The Ray Bolger Show ( 1954 -- 55 ) . He continued to star in several films , including Walt Disney 's remake of Babes in Toyland ( 1961 ) . Bolger made frequent guest appearances on television , including the episode `` Rich Man , Poor Man '' of the short - lived The Jean Arthur Show in 1966 . In the 1970s , he had a recurring role as the father of Shirley Partridge ( Shirley Jones ) on The Partridge Family , and appeared in Little House on the Prairie as Toby Noe and also guest starred on other television series such as Battlestar Galactica and Fantasy Island . In the late 1970 's , reaching back to his Irish roots , Bolger played in a commercial for Safeway Supermarket 's `` Scotch Buy '' brand . It covered many products ranging from canned food to paper towels to beer and cigarettes . Bolger popularized the jingle , `` Scotch Buy - taint fancy but it shore is good . '' His last television appearance was on Diff'rent Strokes in 1984 , three years before his death . In his later years , he danced in a Dr Pepper television commercial , and in 1985 , he and Liza Minnelli , the daughter of his Oz co-star Judy Garland , starred in That 's Dancing ! , a film also written by Jack Haley , Jr. , the son of Jack Haley , who portrayed the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz . In 1998 , a Golden Palm Star on the Palm Springs , California , Walk of Stars was dedicated to him . He was a Roman Catholic , and a member of the Good Shepherd Parish and the Catholic Motion Picture Guild in Beverly Hills , California . Bolger was a staunch Republican who campaigned for Richard Nixon in 1968 . Death and legacy ( edit ) Ray and Gwendolyn Bolger 's grave at Holy Cross Cemetery , Culver City Bolger died of bladder cancer on January 15 , 1987 , in Los Angeles , five days after his 83rd birthday . He was interred at Holy Cross Cemetery , Culver City in the Mausoleum , Crypt F2 , Block 35 . He was survived by his wife of over 57 years , Gwendolyn Rickard . They had no children . At the time of his death , he was the last surviving main credited cast member of The Wizard of Oz . At Judy Garland 's funeral , Bolger was the only one of her Oz co-stars to be present . He joined Harold Arlen , the composer of `` Over the Rainbow '' , and his wife Anya Taranda . They were reported as among the last remaining guests at the conclusion of the service . Whenever asked whether he received any residuals from telecasts of the 1939 classic , Bolger would reply : `` No , just immortality . I 'll settle for that . '' Bolger 's Scarecrow is ranked among the `` most beloved movie characters of all time '' by AMC and the American Film Institute . For his contributions to the film industry , Bolger received a motion pictures star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960 . The star is located at 6788 Hollywood Boulevard .

Femur - wikipedia Femur Jump to : navigation , search Not to be confused with Fima ( disambiguation ) or FEMA ( disambiguation ) . Femur Position of femur ( shown in red ) Left femur seen from behind . Details Origins Gastrocnemius , vastus lateralis , vastus medialis and vastus intermedius Insertions Gluteus maximus , gluteus medius , gluteus minimus , iliopsoas , lateral rotator group , adductors of the hip Articulations hip : acetabulum of pelvis superiorly knee : with the tibia and patella inferiorly Identifiers Latin Os femoris , os longissimum MeSH D005269 TA A02. 5.04. 001 FMA 9611 Anatomical terms of bone ( edit on Wikidata ) The femur ( / ˈfiːmər / , pl . femurs or femora / ˈfɛmərə / ) or thigh bone , is the most proximal ( closest to the hip joint ) bone of the leg in tetrapod vertebrates capable of walking or jumping , such as most land mammals , birds , many reptiles including lizards , and amphibians such as frogs . In vertebrates with four legs such as dogs and horses , the femur is found only in the hindlimbs . The head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum in the pelvic bone forming the hip joint , while the distal part of the femur articulates with the tibia and kneecap forming the knee joint . By most measures the femur is the strongest bone in the body . The femur is also the longest bone in the human body . Contents ( hide ) 1 Structure 1.1 Upper part 1.2 Body 1.3 Lower part 1.4 Development 2 Function 2.1 Muscle attachments 3 Clinical significance 3.1 Fractures 4 Other animals 4.1 Invertebrates 5 Additional images 6 References 7 External links Structure ( edit ) The femur is the only bone in the upper leg . The two femurs converge medially toward the knees , where they articulate with the proximal ends of the tibiae . The angle of convergence of the femora is a major factor in determining the femoral - tibial angle . Human females have wider pelvic bones , causing their femora to converge more than in males . In the condition genu valgum ( knock knee ) the femurs converge so much that the knees touch one another . The opposite extreme is genu varum ( bow - leggedness ) . In the general population of people without either genu valgum or genu varum , the femoral - tibial angle is about 175 degrees . The femur is the longest and , by most measures , the strongest bone in the human body . Its length on average is 26.74 % of a person 's height , a ratio found in both men and women and most ethnic groups with only restricted variation , and is useful in anthropology because it offers a basis for a reasonable estimate of a subject 's height from an incomplete skeleton . The femur is categorised as a long bone and comprises a diaphysis ( shaft or body ) and two epiphyses ( extremities ) that articulate with adjacent bones in the hip and knee . Upper part ( edit ) Main article : Upper extremity of femur The upper extremity of right femur viewed from behind and above , showing head , neck , and the greater and lesser trochanter The upper or proximal extremity ( close to the torso ) contains the head , neck , the two trochanters and adjacent structures . The head of the femur , which articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvic bone , comprises two - thirds of a sphere . It has a small groove , or fovea , connected through the round ligament to the sides of the acetabular notch . The head of the femur is connected to the shaft through the neck or collum . The neck is 4 -- 5 cm . long and the diameter is smallest front to back and compressed at its middle . The collum forms an angle with the shaft in about 130 degrees . This angle is highly variant . In the infant it is about 150 degrees and in old age reduced to 120 degrees on average . An abnormal increase in the angle is known as coxa valga and an abnormal reduction is called coxa vara . Both the head and neck of the femur is vastly embedded in the hip musculature and can not be directly palpated . In skinny people with the thigh laterally rotated , the head of the femur can be felt deep as a resistance profound ( deep ) for the femoral artery . The transition area between the head and neck is quite rough due to attachment of muscles and the hip joint capsule . Here the two trochanters , greater and lesser trochanter , are found . The greater trochanter is almost box - shaped and is the most lateral prominent of the femur . The highest point of the greater trochanter is located higher than the collum and reaches the midpoint of the hip joint . The greater trochanter can easily be felt . The trochanteric fossa is a deep depression bounded posteriorly by the intertrochanteric crest on medial surface of the greater trochanter . The lesser trochanter is a cone - shaped extension of the lowest part of the femur neck . The two trochanters are joined by the intertrochanteric crest on the back side and by the intertrochanteric line on the front . A slight ridge is sometimes seen commencing about the middle of the intertrochanteric crest , and reaching vertically downward for about 5 cm . along the back part of the body : it is called the linea quadrata ( or quadrate line ) . About the junction of the upper one - third and lower two - thirds on the intertrochanteric crest is the quadrate tubercle located . The size of the tubercle varies and it is not always located on the intertrochanteric crest and that also adjacent areas can be part of the quadrate tubercel , such as the posterior surface of the greater trochanter or the neck of the femur . In a small anatomical study it was shown that the epiphysial line passes directly through the quadrate tubercle . Body ( edit ) Main article : Body of femur The body of the femur ( or shaft ) is long , slender and almost cylindrical in form . It is a little broader above than in the center , broadest and somewhat flattened from before backward below . It is slightly arched , so as to be convex in front , and concave behind , where it is strengthened by a prominent longitudinal ridge , the linea aspera which diverges proximal and distal as the medial and lateral ridge . Proximal the lateral ridge of the linea aspera becomes the gluteal tuberosity while the medial ridge continues as the pectineal line . Besides the linea aspera the shaft has two other bordes ; a lateral and medial border . These three bordes separates the shaft into three surfaces : One anterior , one medial and one lateral . Due to the vast musculature of the thigh the shaft can not be palpated . The third trochanter is a bony projection occasionally present on the proximal femur near the superior border of the gluteal tuberosity . When present , it is oblong , rounded , or conical in shape and sometimes continuous with the gluteal ridge . A structure of minor importance in humans , the incidence of the third trochanter varies from 17 -- 72 % between ethnic groups and it is frequently reported as more common in females than in males . Lower part ( edit ) Main article : Lower extremity of femur Lower extremity of right femur viewed from below . Left knee joint from behind , showing interior ligaments . The lower extremity of the femur ( or distal extremity ) is larger than the upper extremity . It is somewhat cuboid in form , but its transverse diameter is greater than its antero - posterior ( front to back ) . It consists of two oblong eminences known as the condyles . Anteriorly , the condyles are slightly prominent and are separated by a smooth shallow articular depression called the patellar surface . Posteriorly , they project considerably and a deep notch , the Intercondylar fossa of femur , is present between them . The lateral condyle is the more prominent and is the broader both in its antero - posterior and transverse diameters . The medial condyle is the longer and , when the femur is held with its body perpendicular , projects to a lower level . When , however , the femur is in its natural oblique position the lower surfaces of the two condyles lie practically in the same horizontal plane . The condyles are not quite parallel with one another ; the long axis of the lateral is almost directly antero - posterior , but that of the medial runs backward and medialward . Their opposed surfaces are small , rough , and concave , and form the walls of the intercondyloid fossa . This fossa is limited above by a ridge , the intercondyloid line , and below by the central part of the posterior margin of the patellar surface . The posterior cruciate ligament of the knee joint is attached to the lower and front part of the medial wall of the fossa and the anterior cruciate ligament to an impression on the upper and back part of its lateral wall . The articular surface of the lower end of the femur occupies the anterior , inferior , and posterior surfaces of the condyles . Its front part is named the patellar surface and articulates with the patella ; it presents a median groove which extends downward to the intercondyloid fossa and two convexities , the lateral of which is broader , more prominent , and extends farther upward than the medial . Each condyle is surmounted by an elevation , the epicondyle . The medial epicondyle is a large convex eminence to which the tibial collateral ligament of the knee - joint is attached . At its upper part is the adductor tubercle and behind it is a rough impression which gives origin to the medial head of the gastrocnemius . The lateral epicondyle which is smaller and less prominent than the medial , gives attachment to the fibular collateral ligament of the knee - joint . Development ( edit ) Main article : Limb development The femur develops from the limb buds as a result of interactions between the ectoderm and the underlying mesoderm , formation occurs roughly around the fourth week of development . By the sixth week of development , the first hyaline cartilage model of the femur is formed by chondrocytes . Endochondral ossification begins by the end of the embryonic period and primary ossification centers are present in all long bones of the limbs , including the femur , by the 12th week of development . The hindlimb development lags behind forelimb development by 1 -- 2 days . Function ( edit ) As the femur is the only bone in the thigh , it serves as an attachment point for all the muscles that exert their force over the hip and knee joints . Some biarticular muscles -- which cross two joints , like the gastrocnemius and plantaris muscles -- also originate from the femur . In all , 23 individual muscles either originate from or insert onto the femur . In cross-section , the thigh is divided up into three separate fascial compartments divided by fascia , each containing muscles . These compartments use the femur as an axis , and are separated by tough connective tissue membranes ( or septa ) . Each of these compartments has its own blood and nerve supply , and contains a different group of muscles . These compartments are named the anterior , medial and posterior fascial compartments .

Femur fractures can be managed in a pre-hospital setting with the use of a traction splint . Other animals ( edit ) Femora of Moa chicks . See also : Arthropod leg In primitive tetrapods , the main points of muscle attachment along the femur are the internal trochanter and third trochanter , and a ridge along the ventral surface of the femoral shaft referred to as the adductor crest . The neck of the femur is generally minimal or absent in the most primitive forms , reflecting a simple attachment to the acetabulum . The greater trochanter was present in the extinct archosaurs , as well as in modern birds and mammals , being associated with the loss of the primitive sprawling gait . The lesser trochanter is a unique development of mammals , which lack both the internal and fourth trochanters . The adductor crest is also often absent in mammals or alternatively reduced to a series of creases along the surface of the bone . Some species of whales , snakes , and other non-walking vertebrates have vestigial femurs . One of the earliest known vertebrates to have a femur is the eusthenopteron , a prehistoric lobe - finned fish from the Late Devonian period . Structures analogous to the third trochanter are present in mammals , including some primates . Invertebrates ( edit ) In invertebrate zoology the name femur appears in arthropodology . The usage is not homologous with that of vertebrate anatomy ; the term `` femur '' simply has been adopted by analogy and refers , where applicable , to the most proximal of ( usually ) the two longest jointed segments of the legs of the arthropoda . The two basal segments preceding the femur are the coxa and trochanter . This convention is not followed in carcinology but it applies in arachnology and entomology . In myriapodology another segment , the prefemur , connects the trochanter and femur . Additional images ( edit ) Position of femur ( shown in red ) .

2018 Tour de France

2018 Tour de France - wikipedia 2018 Tour de France 2018 Tour de France 2018 UCI World Tour , race 25 of 37 Route of the 2018 Tour de France Race details Dates 7 -- 29 July Stages 21 Distance 3,351 km ( 2,082 mi ) Winning time 83h 17 ' 13 '' Results Winner Geraint Thomas ( GBR ) ( Team Sky ) Second Tom Dumoulin ( NED ) ( Team Sunweb ) Third Chris Froome ( GBR ) ( Team Sky ) Points Peter Sagan ( SVK ) ( Bora -- Hansgrohe ) Mountains Julian Alaphilippe ( FRA ) ( Quick - Step Floors ) Youth Pierre Latour ( FRA ) ( AG2R La Mondiale ) Combativity Dan Martin ( IRL ) ( UAE Team Emirates ) Team Movistar Team ← 2017 2019 → The 2018 Tour de France was the 105th edition of the Tour de France , one of cycling 's three Grand Tours . The 3,351 km ( 2,082 mi ) race started from Noirmoutier - en - l'Île , in the Vendée department , on 7 July and concluded with the Champs - Élysées stage in Paris , on 29 July . A total of 176 riders across 22 teams were participating in the 21 - stage race . The Tour was the shortest of the millennium and was the fifth time a tour had set out from Vendée . The race was won for the first time by Geraint Thomas of Team Sky . Tom Dumoulin ( Team Sunweb ) placed second , with Thomas ' teammate and four - time Tour champion Chris Froome coming third . The opening stage was won by Fernando Gaviria of Quick - Step Floors , who became the Tour 's first rider to wear the general classification leader 's yellow jersey . Peter Sagan ( Bora -- Hansgrohe ) then took the race lead the following stage . BMC Racing Team won stage three 's team time trial , putting their rider Greg Van Avermaet in yellow . He held the jersey for eight days until the second high mountain stage , where stage winner Thomas took the lead . He held it for the rest of the race to become the first Welshman to win the overall race . As a result , Team Sky -- and additionally British riders -- won six of the previous seven Tours dating back to 2012 . Sagan won the points classification for the sixth time , Julian Alaphilippe ( Quick - Step Floors ) won the mountains classification , and Pierre Latour of AG2R La Mondiale won the young rider classification . Movistar Team won the team classification , and UAE Team Emirates rider Dan Martin was named the most combative for the entire race .

The 18 UCI WorldTeams were automatically invited to the race . On 6 January 2018 , organisers of the Tour , the Amaury Sport Organisation ( ASO ) , announced the four second - tier UCI Professional Continental teams that received a wildcard invitation to participate in the event . The four teams were Cofidis , Direct Énergie , Fortuneo -- Samsic , from France and Belgium 's Wanty -- Groupe Gobert , all of which have participated in the race before . This meant that new French team Vital Concept , with their team leader , sprinter Bryan Coquard , missed out on the race . Christian Prudhomme wished the team the best in their inaugural season . The presentation of the teams -- where the members of each team 's roster are introduced in front of the media and local dignitaries -- took place on Place Napoleon ( fr ) in the town of La Roche - sur - Yon on 5 July , two days before the opening stage . New rules by the cycling 's governing body , the Union Cycliste Internationale ( UCI ) reduced the number of riders per team for Grand Tours from 9 to 8 , resulting in a start list total of 176 , instead of the usual 198 . Of these , 35 competed in their first Tour de France . The total number of riders that finished the race was 145 . The riders came from 30 countries . Seven countries had more than 10 riders in the race : France ( 35 ) , Belgium ( 19 ) , the Netherlands ( 13 ) , Italy ( 13 ) , Australia ( 11 ) , Germany ( 11 ) and Spain ( 11 ) . The average age of riders in the race was 29.37 years , ranging from the 21 - year - old Egan Bernal ( Team Sky ) to the 40 - year - old Franco Pellizotti ( Bahrain -- Merida ) . Groupama -- FDJ had the youngest average age while Bahrain -- Merida had the oldest . The teams entering the race were : UCI WorldTeams AG2R La Mondiale Astana Bahrain -- Merida BMC Racing Team Bora -- Hansgrohe EF Education First -- Drapac p / b Cannondale Team Dimension Data Groupama -- FDJ Team Katusha -- Alpecin LottoNL -- Jumbo Lotto -- Soudal Movistar Team Mitchelton -- Scott Quick - Step Floors Team Sky Team Sunweb Trek -- Segafredo UAE Team Emirates UCI Professional Continental teams Cofidis Direct Énergie Fortuneo -- Samsic Wanty -- Groupe Gobert Pre-race favourites ( edit ) Froome ( edit ) Defending champion Chris Froome ( pictured at the 2017 Tour de France ) had been considered the favourite for the general classification . Defending champion Chris Froome ( Team Sky ) had generally been considered the main favourite for the general classification . He had won four out of the last five editions , and was also the current defending champion at both other Grand Tours , the Vuelta a España and the Giro d'Italia . However , Froome 's participation was cast into doubt when he returned a urine sample at the 2017 Vuelta a España , which contained twice the allowed amount of the asthma drug salbutamol . This was considered not as a positive doping result , but as an `` Adverse Analytical Finding '' ( AAF ) , meaning that he was allowed to continue racing until the case was resolved . He did however face the possibility of losing his Vuelta victory and all subsequent results . The ASO were unhappy with the situation , which was very similar to that of Alberto Contador , who started the 2011 Tour with his case over a positive test for clenbuterol still unresolved . The UCI conducted an investigation into the AAF , which was still unresolved at the time that Froome won the 2018 Giro d'Italia . With an outcome before the start of the Tour unlikely , the ASO attempted to bar Froome from starting the race , citing article 28 of the race 's rules , saying that the organiser `` expressly reserves the right to refuse participation in -- or to exclude from -- the event , a team or any of its members whose presence would be such as to damage the image or reputation of ASO or the event '' . Froome was cleared by the UCI on 2 July 2018 , with a press statement reading that the authorities had found sufficient evidence `` that Mr Froome 's sample results do not constitute an AAF '' . He was thereafter cleared to start the Tour by the ASO as well . Others ( edit ) The closest rivals of Froome were thought to be Richie Porte ( BMC Racing Team ) , Nairo Quintana , Mikel Landa ( both of Movistar Team ) , Tom Dumoulin ( Team Sunweb ) , and Vincenzo Nibali ( Bahrain -- Merida ) . The other riders considered contenders for the general classification were Geraint Thomas ( Team Sky ) , Romain Bardet ( AG2R La Mondiale ) , Primož Roglič ( LottoNL -- Jumbo ) , Adam Yates ( Mitchelton -- BikeExchange ) , Jakob Fuglsang ( Astana ) , Alejandro Valverde ( Movistar Team ) , Rigoberto Urán ( EF Education First -- Drapac p / b Cannondale ) , Dan Martin ( UAE Team Emirates ) , Bob Jungels ( Quick - Step Floors ) and Ilnur Zakarin ( Team Katusha -- Alpecin ) . The sprinters considered favourites for the points classification and wins on the flat or hilly bunch sprint finishes were Peter Sagan ( Bora -- Hansgrohe ) , Fernando Gaviria ( Quick - Step Floors ) , Dylan Groenewegen ( LottoNL -- Jumbo ) , Arnaud Démare ( Groupama -- FDJ ) , Marcel Kittel ( Team Katusha -- Alpecin ) , Michael Matthews ( Team Sunweb ) , Mark Cavendish ( Team Dimension Data ) , André Greipel ( Lotto -- Soudal ) , Alexander Kristoff ( UAE Team Emirates ) , Sonny Colbrelli ( Bahrain -- Merida ) and John Degenkolb ( Trek -- Segafredo ) . Route and stages ( edit ) The highest point of elevation in the race was the Col de Portet Pyrenean pass , at 2,215 m ( 7,267 ft ) . It was used for the first time in the Tour de France . On 12 February 2017 at a rugby union match between France and Scotland at the Stade de France , the Tour 's race director Christian Prudhomme announced the start of the 2018 Tour ( known as the Grand Départ ) would be in the Vendée department , in the Pays de la Loire region . The departments in the Pays de la Loire region hosted the Tour de France in its first edition back in 1903 . Since then , the cities and towns of the Pays de la Loire region have welcomed the Grand Départ of the Tour de France nine times , five of which have set out from the Vendée . The last time the region hosted the Tour was in 2011 . Two weeks after the announcement , the ASO revealed that the Grand Départ would take place over three stages , with the third a team time trial . In June 2017 , the UCI 's Professional Cycling Council ( PCC ) moved the start of the Tour a week later than usual and originally planned due to a clash with the 2018 FIFA World Cup . The full route was announced on 17 October 2017 ; it was almost completely within France , with short deviations into Spain in the Pyrenees were the only exceptions . It would feature two of the Tour 's most historic climbs , Alpe d'Huez and the Col de Tourmalet , which last featured in 2015 and 2016 respectively . For the first time in 60 to 70 years , it included a section of unpaved roads on the Glières Plateau . Of the route , Mark Cavendish labelled it `` absolutely brutal '' . There were 21 stages in the race , covering a total distance of 3,351 km ( 2,082 mi ) , the shortest of the 21st century . The race also included 21.7 km ( 13.5 mi ) of cobblestones ( or pavés ) in stage 9 , which were last featured in 2015 . In the first week of the race , two laps of the short , but steep , Mûr - de-Bretagne were included .

Gaviria took the yellow and green jerseys as the leader of the general and points classifications respectively . Kévin Ledanois ( Fortuneo -- Samsic ) took the first polka dot jersey as the leader of the mountains classification . Sagan won stage two from a sprint to take the yellow and green jerseys , with Dion Smith of Wanty -- Groupe Gobert claiming the polka . Stage three 's team time trial was won by BMC Racing Team whose riders Tejay van Garderen and Greg Van Avermaet became tied for the overall lead , with Van Avermaet moving into yellow for the second time in his career due to him crossing the finish line ahead of Van Garderen in the first two stages being as there was not yet an individual time trial to measure their times down to the 1000th of a second . Stage four was won by Gaviria from a bunch sprint . Sagan further extend his lead in the points competition by winning stage five . Also in stage five , Toms Skujiņš of Trek -- Segafredo won the mountains points which gave him the polka . Skujins became the first rider from Latvia to ever lead the mountains classification . Stage six was a sprint that Sagan and John Degenkolb raced for , seeing as virtually all of the top sprinters finished close to fifteen minutes behind the general classification contenders . Team Sky , BMC Racing Team , and Movistar Team controlled the peloton , where Geraint Thomas reeled in the final breakaway rider and won the three second time bonus sprint that put him back only three seconds behind Van Avermaet in the general classification . With only about a kilometre to go Dan Martin attacked and was able to stay away and win the stage one second ahead of the bulk of the general classification contenders . Romain Bardet and Tom Dumoulin suffered mechanical issues late in the stage which made them lose time . Stage seven was the longest stage . At the start of stage seven , Van Avermaet remained in the yellow jersey with Thomas in second at three seconds behind . The stage was won by Dylan Groenewegen . There were multiple crashes in the first week of the tour and after stage seven , six riders had abandoned the race for various reasons including the promising young Belgian Tiesj Benoot ( Lotto -- Soudal ) , Luis León Sánchez ( Astana ) , and the green jersey winner of the 2017 Tour Michael Matthews . This marked the end of the first week of the tour . Greg Van Avermaet ( BMC Racing Team ) wearing the race leader 's yellow on one of stage nine 's pavé sectors . He held the jersey from stage three to ten . Groenewegen then won his second sprint stage in a row . Notably , Greipel and Gaviria were penalized for headbutting each other and lost their placing and green jersey points . Martin lost more than a minute after being involved in a crash during the stage . Van Avermaet improved his lead in the general classification after earning a single second in the bonus sprint . Stage nine was the cobblestone stage that was a bad day for numerous sprinters and general classification riders . Richie Porte abandoned after a crash for the second year in a row . Egan Bernal , Jakob Fuglsang , Chris Froome , and Mikel Landa crashed as did many other riders ; many riders had flat tires as well , including Bardet who got three of them . Meanwhile , Yves Lampaert ( Quick - Step Floors ) , Degenkolb , and Van Avermaet survived the carnage going on around them to escape the remaining peloton and cross the finish together with Degenkolb winning his first Tour stage , as Van Avermaet gained time as well as another time bonus to extend his lead in the yellow jersey . The following day was the Tour 's first rest day . The first stage at high altitude and first in the Alps , the tenth , was won by Quick - Step Floors rider Julian Alaphilippe from a large breakaway that included race leader Van Avermaet . Eventually , Alaphillipe attacked and won his first Tour stage while Van Avermaet retained his yellow jersey and extended his lead to nearly two and a half minutes , when many people thought he would not be retaining it . Alaphillipe also took the mountains classification . Thomas achieved back - to - back summit finish wins both from the group of favourites on stages eleven and twelve by pushing the breakaway riders until the very end . In the steep finish of the eleventh , Thomas attacked in the final kilometre and passed lone breakaway rider Mikel Nieve ( Mitchelton -- Scott ) to take the win . He won stage twelve from a sprint on flat finish atop Alpe d'Huez . Dumoulin and Froome arose as the likely contenders in Paris . Sagan won stage thirteen after coming out of nowhere while Kristoff and Arnaud Démare ( Groupama -- FDJ ) dueled it out . In stage fourteen , Omar Fraile of Astana came out of the breakaway and remarkably opened a twenty - minute gap to the main peloton with the yellow jersey contenders . After the Alps , it was basically down to three riders in contention , Thomas , Froome , and Dumoulin . There were many withdrawals after the Alps after names like Kittel , Mark Cavendish , Rigoberto Uran , Gaviria , Groenewegen , and Andre Griepel withdrew for various reasons . Vincenzo Nibali was forced to withdraw after fracturing a vertebrae in his back after being involved in an accident with a spectator near the summit of Alpe d'huez . Smoke from flares and animosity towards Froome were a factor and better security was called for by many people for the final week . Tom Dumoulin of Team Sunweb ( left ) placed second to Team Sky 's Geraint Thomas ( right ) ( pictured on stage nineteen ) in the final general classification . Stage fifteen , the start of the final week , was once again a breakaway victory . Magnus Cort took Astana 's second win in two days as there were no major changes overall . The next day was the second rest day of the race . Stage sixteen had a further incident when the police used tear gas against a protest by local farmers who had placed hay bales on the road . As the riders passed that point , there was still gas in the air . The race was neutralized for about fifteen minutes because several riders had problems with their eyes and had to rinse them . After the restart , a large breakaway escaped and Philippe Gilbert ( Quick - Step Floors ) , while in the lead on a descent , lost control of his bike and smashed into and over the wall . Later , Adam Yates , having taken the lead , fell on the final descent and handed the position and win to Alaphilippe , giving him his second stage win of the tour . On the first of the three Pyrenan stages , seventeen , Froome 's challenge faded on the approach to the summit of the Col de Portet and he dropped to third position in the general classification , 2 : 31 behind Thomas . Dumoulin moved into second place , 1 : 59 off the lead . Nairo Quintana won the stage after attacking at the bottom of the final climb , moving himself up to fifth overall , behind Primož Roglič . The flat stage eighteen was won by Demare from a sprint finish ; by now most of the top sprint had now left the race and Sagan was suffering with injury . On the mountainous stage nineteen from Lourdes to Laruns , Roglič attacked on the final climb , the Col d'Aubisque , and soloed to the finish nineteen seconds ahead of the chasing group of overall favourites . Thomas was able to consolidate his position in the yellow jersey by picking up six bonus seconds in the sprint thereby extending his lead over Dumoulin to 2 min 5 s . The penultimate stage was a 31 km ( 19.3 mi ) time trial , Dumoulin won the stage , one second ahead of Froome . Thomas survived a scare when his back wheel locked , but completed the time trial successfully , finishing fourteen seconds behind Dumoulin taking a lead of 1 min 51 s into the final stage . The stage was won by Kristoff in a bunch sprint on the Champs - Élysées in Paris . Classification leadership ( edit ) Four main individual classifications were contested in the 2018 Tour de France , as well as a team competition . The most important was the general classification , calculated by adding each rider 's finishing times on each stage . Time bonuses were awarded at the end of every stage apart from the time trial stages . The first three riders would get 10 , 6 , and 4 seconds , respectively . Time bonuses of three , two and one seconds , would be given to the first three riders to cross a `` bonus point '' in each of the first nine mass - start stages of the race . It would affect the general classification , but not the points . For crashes within the final 3 km ( 1.9 mi ) of a stage , not including time trials and summit finishes , any rider involved would receive the same time as the group he was in when the crash occurred . The rider with the lowest cumulative time would be the winner of the general classification and the overall winner of the Tour . The rider leading the classification would wear a yellow jersey . Points classification points for the top 15 positions by type Type 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Flat stage 50 30 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 7 6 5 Medium mountain stage 30 25 22 19 17 15 13 11 9 High mountain stage 20 17 15 13 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 Individual time trial Intermediate sprint The second classification was the points classification . Riders received points for finishing among the highest placed in a stage finish , or in intermediate sprints during the stage . The points available for each stage finish were determined by the stage 's type . The leader was identified by a green jersey . The third classification was the mountains classification . Points were awarded to the riders that reached the summit of the most difficult climbs first . The climbs were categorized , in order of increasing difficulty , as fourth - , third - , second - , and first - category and hors catégorie ( read : `` beyond category '' ) . Double points were awarded at the top of the last mountains in the three mountain stages in the Pyrenees ( 16 , 17 and 19 ) . The leader wore a white jersey with red polka dots . The final individual classification was the young rider classification . This was calculated the same way as the general classification , but was restricted to riders born on or after 1 January 1993 . The leader wears a white jersey . The final classification was a team classification . This was calculated using the finishing times of the best three riders per team on each stage ; the leading team was the team with the lowest cumulative time . The number of stage victories and placings per team determined the outcome of a tie . The riders in the team that lead this classification are identified with yellow number bibs on the back of their jerseys and yellow helmets .

The only alpha world city in Malaysia , it covers an area of 243 km ( 94 sq mi ) and has an estimated population of 1.73 million as of 2016 . Greater Kuala Lumpur , also known as the Klang Valley , is an urban agglomeration of 7.25 million people as of 2017 . It is among the fastest growing metropolitan regions in South - East Asia , in both population and economic development . Kuala Lumpur is the cultural , financial and economic centre of Malaysia and home to the Parliament of Malaysia , and the official residence of the Malaysian King ( Yang di - Pertuan Agong ) , the Istana Negara . The city once held the headquarters of the executive and judicial branches of the federal government as well , but they were moved to Putrajaya in early 1999 . Some sections of the judiciary still remain in Kuala Lumpur . Kuala Lumpur is one of three Federal Territories of Malaysia , enclaved within the state of Selangor , on the central west coast of Peninsular Malaysia . Since the 1990s , the city has played host to many international sporting , political and cultural events including the 1998 Commonwealth Games . Kuala Lumpur has undergone rapid development in recent decades . It is home to the tallest twin buildings in the world , the Petronas Twin Towers , which have become an iconic symbol of Malaysia 's futuristic development . Kuala Lumpur has a comprehensive road system that is supported by extensive public transport networks such as the Mass Rapid Transit ( MRT ) , Light Metro ( LRT ) , monorail , elevated Bus Rapid Transit , commuter rail and airport rail link . Kuala Lumpur is one of the leading cities in the world for tourism and shopping . It is the seventh most visited city in the world . The city is also home to three of the world 's 10 largest malls . Kuala Lumpur has been ranked by the Economist Intelligence Unit at No. 70 out of 140 cities in a global ranking of liveable cities , and second in Southeast Asia after Singapore at No. 35 . Forbes has also named KL at No. 6 in its list of 10 best cities to retire abroad , and the best in Asia , with factors include world class healthcare , affordable cost of living and widely spoken English . Kuala Lumpur was named as one of the New7Wonders Cities together with Vigan , Doha , Durban , Havana , Beirut , and La Paz . Safe Cities Index 2017 has put KL 31st on its world safest cities list , the highest ranked city for a developing country .

The earliest settlement of Kuala Lumpur developed on the eastern side of the river bank ( to the right in this picture ) . Etymology ( edit ) Kuala Lumpur means `` muddy confluence '' ; kuala is the point where two rivers join together or an estuary , and lumpur means `` mud '' . One suggestion is that it was named after Sungai Lumpur ( `` muddy river '' ) ; it was recorded in 1824 that Sungei Lumpoor was the most important tin - producing settlement up the Klang River . Doubts however have been raised on such a derivation as Kuala Lumpur lies at the confluence of Gombak River and Klang River , therefore should rightly be named Kuala Gombak as the point where one river joins another or the sea is its kuala . It has been argued by some that Sungai Lumpur is in fact Gombak River ( therefore the point where it joined the Klang River would be Kuala Lumpur ) , although Sungai Lumpur is said to be another river joining the Klang River a mile upstream from the Gombak confluence , or perhaps located to the north of the Batu Caves area . It has also been proposed that Kuala Lumpur was originally named Pengkalan Lumpur ( `` muddy landing place '' ) in the same way that Klang was once called Pengkalan Batu ( `` stone landing place '' ) , but became corrupted into Kuala Lumpur . Another suggestion is that it was initially a Cantonese word lam - pa meaning ' flooded jungle ' or ' decayed jungle ' . There is however no firm contemporary evidence for these suggestions other than anecdotes . It is also possible that the name is a corrupted form of an earlier but now unidentifiable forgotten name . Early years ( edit ) Historical affiliations Sultanate of Selangor 1857 -- 1974 Federated Malay States 1895 -- 1942 ; 1945 -- 1946 Empire of Japan 1942 -- 1945 Malayan Union 1946 -- 1948 Federation of Malaya 1948 -- 1963 Malaysia 1963 -- present It is unknown who founded or named the settlement called Kuala Lumpur . Chinese miners were involved in tin mining up the Selangor River in the 1840s about ten miles north of present - day Kuala Lumpur , and Mandailing Sumatrans led by Raja Asal and Sutan Puasa were also involved in tin mining and trade in the Ulu Klang region before 1860 , and Sumatrans may have settled in the upper reaches of Klang River in the first quarter of the 19th century , possibly earlier . Kuala Lumpur was originally a small hamlet of just a few houses and shops at the confluence of Sungai Gombak and Sungai Klang ( Klang River ) before it grew into a town . It is generally accepted that Kuala Lumpur become established as a town circa 1857 , when the Malay Chief of Klang , Raja Abdullah bin Raja Jaafar , aided by his brother Raja Juma'at of Lukut , raised funds to hire some Chinese miners from Lukut to open new tin mines here . The miners landed at Kuala Lumpur and continued their journey on foot to Ampang where the first mine was opened . Kuala Lumpur was the furthest point up the Klang River to which supplies could conveniently be brought by boat ; it therefore became a collection and dispersal point serving the tin mines . Kapitan Yap Ah Loy , the third Chinese Kapitan of Kuala Lumpur . Frank Swettenham , a contributor to the development of Kuala Lumpur . Although the early miners suffered a high death toll due to the malarial conditions of the jungle , the Ampang mines were successful , and the first tin from these mines was exported in 1859 . The tin - mining spurred the growth of the town , and miners later also settled in Pudu and Batu . The miners formed gangs among themselves ; and fights between different gangs were frequent in this period , mainly to gain control of the best tin mines . Leaders of the Chinese community were conferred the title of Kapitan Cina ( Chinese headman ) by the Malay chief , and Hiu Siew , the owner of a mine in Lukut , was chosen as the first Kapitan of Kuala Lumpur . As one of the first traders to arrive in Ampang ( along with Yap Ah Sze ) , he sold provisions to the miners in exchange for tin . The third Chinese Kapitan of Kuala Lumpur , Yap Ah Loy , was appointed in 1868 . Important Malay figures of early Kuala lumpur also include the Dato ' Dagang ( `` chief of traders '' ) and Haji Tahir . The Minangkabaus later became another important group of people ; Minangkabau traders from Sumatra include Utsman Abdullah , and Haji Mohamed Taib who was involved in the early development of Kampung Baru . The Minangkabaus are also important socio - religious figures , for example Utsman bin Abdullah was the first kadi of Kuala Lumpur as well as Muhammad Nur bin Ismail . Beginning of modern Kuala Lumpur ( edit ) Part of a panoramic view of Kuala Lumpur c. 1884 . To the left is the Padang . The buildings were constructed of wood and atap before regulations were enacted by Swettenham in 1884 requiring buildings to use bricks and tiles . The appearance of Kuala Lumpur transformed rapidly and greatly in the following years . Early Kuala Lumpur was a small town that suffered from many social and political problems -- the buildings were made of wood and atap ( palm frond thatching ) that were prone to fire , lack of proper sanitation plagued the town with diseases , and it suffered from a constant threat of flooding . The town became embroiled in the Selangor Civil War due in part to the fight for control of revenues from the tin mines . The Chinese Kapitan Yap Ah Loy aligned himself with Tengku Kudin , and the rival Chinese gang allied themselves with Raja Mahdi . Raja Asal and Sutan Puasa also switched side to Raja Mahdi , and Kuala Lumpur was captured in 1872 and burnt to the ground . Yap escaped to Klang where he reassembled a fighting force . Kuala Lumpur was recaptured by Yap in March 1873 when Raja Mahdi forces were defeated with the help of fighters from Pahang . The war and other setbacks , such as a drop in tin prices , led to a slump , furthermore a major outbreak of cholera in late 1870s caused many to flee the town . The slump lasted until late 1879 , when a rise in the price of tin allowed the town to recover . In late 1881 , the town was severely flooded , following a fire that had destroyed the entire town in January that year . That the town was rebuilt a few times and thrived was due in large part to the tenacity and persistence of Yap Ah Loy . Yap , together with Frank Swettenham who was appointed the Resident in 1882 , were the two most important figures of early Kuala Lumpur with Swettenham credited with its rapid growth and development and its transformation into a major urban center . Sultan Abdul Samad Building facing the Padang , c. 1900 The early Chinese and Malay settlements were along the east bank of the Klang River -- the Chinese mainly settled around the commercial centre of Market Square ; the Malays , later Indian Chettiars and Indian Muslims resided in the Java Street ( now Jalan Tun Perak ) area . In 1880 , the state capital of Selangor was moved from Klang to the more strategically advantageous Kuala Lumpur by the colonial administration , and the British Resident William Bloomfield Douglas then decided that the government buildings and living quarters should be located to the west of the river . Government offices and a new police headquarters was built on Bukit Aman , and the Padang was created initially for police training . The Padang , now known as Merdeka Square , would later become the centre of the British administrative offices when the colonial government offices were moved to the Sultan Abdul Samad Building in 1897 . Frank Swettenham , on becoming the British Resident , began improving the town by cleaning up the streets . He also stipulated in 1884 that buildings should be constructed of brick and tile so that they would be less flammable , and that the town be rebuilt with wider streets to reduce fire risk . Kapitan Yap Ah Loy bought a sprawling piece of real estate to set up a brick industry for the rebuilding of Kuala Lumpur ; this place is the eponymous Brickfields . Destroyed atap buildings were replaced with brick and tiled ones , and many of the new brick buildings are characterised by the `` five foot ways '' as well as Chinese carpentry work . This resulted in a distinct eclectic shop house architecture typical to this region . Kapitan Yap Ah Loy expanded road access in the city significantly , linking up tin mines with the city ; these roads include the main arterial routes of the present Ampang Road , Pudu Road and Petaling Street . As Chinese Kapitan , he was vested with wide powers on a par with Malay community leaders . Law reforms were implemented and new legal measures introduced to the assembly . Yap also presided over a small claims court . With a police force of six , he was able to uphold the rule of law , constructing a prison that could accommodate 60 prisoners at any time . Kapitan Yap Ah Loy also built Kuala Lumpur 's first school and a major tapioca mill in Petaling Street of which the Selangor 's Sultan Abdul Samad held an interest . The construction of the railway spurred the growth of the city . The headquarters of the F.M.S. Railways in Kuala Lumpur shown , with the dome of the Sultan Abdul Samad Building just visible behind , c. 1910 . A railway line between Kuala Lumpur and Klang , initiated by Swettenham and completed in 1886 , increased accessibility which resulted in the rapid growth of the town . The population grew from 4,500 in 1884 to 20,000 in 1890 . As development intensified in the 1880s , it also put pressure on sanitation , waste disposal and other health issues . A Sanitary Board was created on 14 May 1890 which was responsible for sanitation , upkeep of roads , lighting of street and other functions . This would eventually become the Kuala Lumpur Municipal Council . In 1896 , Kuala Lumpur was chosen as the capital of the newly formed Federated Malay States . 20th century -- present ( edit ) The area that is defined as Kuala Lumpur expanded considerably in the 20th century . It was only 0.65 km in 1895 , but was extended to encompass 20 km in 1903 . By the time it became a municipality in 1948 it had expanded to 93 km , and then to 243 km in 1974 as a Federal Territory . The development of rubber industry in Selangor fueled by the demand for car tyre in the early 20th century led to a boom of the town , with the population of Kuala Lumpur increasing from 30,000 in 1900 to 80,000 in 1920 . Previously the commercial activities of Kuala Lumpur were run to a large extent by Chinese businessmen such as Loke Yew who was then the richest and most influential Chinese of Kuala Lumpur . The growth of the rubber industry led to an influx of foreign capital and planters , with new companies and industries becoming established in Kuala Lumpur , and other companies previously based elsewhere also found a presence here . Japanese troops advancing up High Street ( now Jalan Tun HS Lee ) in Kuala Lumpur in December 1941 during World War II . During World War II , Kuala Lumpur was captured by the Imperial Japanese Army on 11 January 1942 . Despite suffering little damage during the course of the battle , the wartime occupation of the city resulted in significant loss of lives ; at least 5,000 Chinese were killed in Kuala Lumpur in just a few weeks of the occupation by Japanese forces , and thousands of Indians were sent as forced labour to work on the Burma Railway where a large number died . They occupied the city until 15 August 1945 , when the commander in chief of the Japanese Seventh Area Army in Singapore and Malaysia , Seishirō Itagaki , surrendered to the British administration following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki . Kuala Lumpur grew through the war , and continued after the war during the Malayan Emergency , during which Malaya was preoccupied with the communist insurgency and New Villages were established on the outskirts of the city in an attempt to control community contacts with the insurgents . The first municipal election in Kuala Lumpur was held on 16 February 1952 . An ad hoc alliance between the Malay UMNO and Chinese MCA party candidates won a majority of the seats contested , and their success led to the formation of the Alliance Party ( later the Barisan Nasional ) . On 31 August 1957 , the Federation of Malaya gained its independence from British rule . The British flag was lowered and the Malayan flag was raised for the first time at the Padang on the midnight of 30 August 1957 , and in the morning of 31 August , the ceremony for the Declaration of Independence was held at the Merdeka Stadium by the first Prime Minister of Malaya , Tunku Abdul Rahman . Kuala Lumpur remained the capital after the formation of Malaysia on 16 September 1963 . The Malaysian Houses of Parliament was completed at the edge of the Lake Gardens in 1963 . The Majestic Theatre on Pudu Road was an early pioneer in Kuala Lumpur 's cinema scene . It was converted into an amusement park in the 1990s and demolished in 2009 . Kuala Lumpur had seen a number of civil disturbances over the years . A riot in 1897 was a relatively minor affair that began with the confiscation of faulty dacing ( a scale used by traders ) , and in 1912 , a more serious disturbance called the tauchang riot began during the Chinese New Year with the cutting of pigtails and ended with rioting and factional fighting lasting a number of days . The worst rioting on record in Malaysia however occurred on 13 May 1969 , when race riots broke out in Kuala Lumpur . The so - called 13 May Incident refers to the violent conflicts that took place between members of the Malay and the Chinese communities . The violence was the result of Malaysian Malays being dissatisfied with their socio - political status . The riots caused the deaths of 196 people according to official figures , and led to major changes in the country 's economic policy to promote and prioritise Malay economic development over that of the other ethnicities . Kuala Lumpur achieved city status in 1972 , becoming the first settlement in Malaysia to be granted the status after independence . Later , on 1 February 1974 , Kuala Lumpur became a Federal Territory . Kuala Lumpur ceased to be the capital of Selangor in 1978 after the city of Shah Alam was declared the new state capital . On 14 May 1990 , Kuala Lumpur celebrated 100 years of local council . The new federal territory Kuala Lumpur flag and anthem were introduced . On 1 February 2001 , Putrajaya was declared a Federal Territory , as well as the seat of the federal government . The administrative and judicial functions of the government were shifted from Kuala Lumpur to Putrajaya . Kuala Lumpur however still retained its legislative function , and remained the home of the Yang di - Pertuan Agong ( Constitutional King ) . Geography ( edit ) Main article : Geography of Kuala Lumpur A satellite view of Kuala Lumpur The Red Arrows over the city in 2016 The geography of Kuala Lumpur is characterised by the huge Klang Valley . The valley is bordered by the Titiwangsa Mountains in the east , several minor ranges in the north and the south and the Strait of Malacca in the west . Kuala Lumpur is a Malay term that translates to `` muddy confluence '' as it is located at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers . Located in the centre of Selangor state , Kuala Lumpur was previously under the rule of Selangor State Government . In 1974 , Kuala Lumpur was separated from Selangor to form the first Federal Territory governed directly by the Malaysian Federal Government . Its location on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia , which has wider flat land than the east coast , has contributed to its faster development relative to other cities in Malaysia . The municipality of the city covers an area of 243 km ( 94 sq mi ) , with an average elevation of 81.95 m ( 268.9 ft ) . Climate and Weather ( edit ) Protected by the Titiwangsa Mountains in the east and Indonesia 's Sumatra Island in the west , Kuala Lumpur has a tropical rainforest climate ( Köppen climate classification Af ) , which is warm and sunny , along with abundant rainfall , especially during the northeast monsoon season from October to March .

Kuala Lumpur 's heterogeneous populace includes the country 's three major ethnic groups : the Malays , the Chinese and the Indians , although the city also has a mix of different cultures including Eurasians , as well as Kadazans , Ibans and other indigenous races from East Malaysia and Peninsula Malaysia . Historical demographics ( edit ) Historically Kuala Lumpur was a predominantly Chinese city , with the Kuala Lumpur of 1872 beside the Klang River described by Frank Swettenham as a `` purely Chinese village '' , although a Malay stockade already existed at Bukit Nanas at that time . By 1875 , after the Selangor Civil War had ended , Swettenham noted Malay quarters near the Chinese area in a sketch map he had drawn , and there were said to be 1,000 Chinese and 700 Malays in the town in this period ( many of the Malays may have settled in Kuala Lumpur after the war ) . More recently the Bumiputra component of the city has increased substantially and they are now the dominant group . Large number of Malays were originally from the other islands of Malay Archipelago -- Sumatrans such as the Mandailings , the Minangkabaus , Javanese , and Buginese began arriving in Kuala Lumpur in the 19th century , while the Acehnese arrived in the late 20th century . Many Pahang Malays who fought in the Selangor Civil War in 1873 also chose to settle in Selangor after the war . The population of Kuala Lumpur was estimated to be around three thousand in 1880 when it was made the capital of Selangor . In the following decade which saw the rebuilding of the town it showed considerable increase with a large influx of immigrants , due in large part to the construction of a railway line in 1886 connecting Kuala Lumpur and Klang . A census in 1891 of uncertain accuracy gave a figure of 43,796 inhabitants , 79 % of whom were Chinese ( 71 % of the Chinese were Hakka ) , 14 % Malay , and 6 % Indian . Another estimate put the population of Kuala Lumpur in 1890 at 20,000 . In 1931 , 61 % of Kuala Lumpur 's 111,418 inhabitants were Chinese , and in 1947 63.5 % . The Malays however began to settle in the Kuala Lumpur in significant numbers , in part due to government employment , as well as the expansion of the city that absorbed the surrounding rural areas where many Malays lived . Between 1947 and 1957 the population of Malays in Kuala Lumpur doubled , increasing from 12.5 to 15 % , while the proportion of Chinese dropped . The process continued after Malayan independence with the growth of a largely Malay civil service , and later the implementation of the New Economic Policy which encouraged Malay participation in urban industries and business . In 1980 the population of Kuala Lumpur had reached over a million , with 52 % Chinese , 33 % Malay , and 15 % Indian . From 1980 to 2000 the number of Bumiputras increased by 77 % , but the Chinese still outnumbered the Bumiputras in Kuala Lumpur in the 2000 census at 43 % compared to Bumiputras at 38 % . By the 2010 census , according to the Department of Statistics and excluding non-citizens , the percentage of the Bumiputera population in Kuala Lumpur has reached around 45.9 % , with the Chinese population at 43.2 % and Indians 10.3 % . A notable phenomenon in recent times has been the increase of foreign residents in Kuala Lumpur , which rose from 1 % of the city 's population in 1980 to about 8 % in the 2000 census , and 9.4 % in the 2010 census . These figures also do not include a significant number of illegal immigrants . Kuala Lumpur 's rapid development has triggered a huge influx of low - skilled foreign workers from Indonesia , Nepal , Burma , Thailand , Bangladesh , India , Pakistan , Sri Lanka , Philippines , and Vietnam into Malaysia , many of whom enter the country illegally or without proper permits . Clockwise from top left : Masjid Negara , Thean Hou Temple , Sri Mahamariamman Temple , St. John 's Cathedral Birth rates in Kuala Lumpur have declined and resulted in the lower proportion of young people -- the proportion of those in the below 15 years old category fell from 33 % in 1980 to slightly less than 27 % in 2000 . On the other hand , the working age group of 15 -- 59 increased from 63 % in 1980 to 67 % in 2000 . The elderly age group , 60 years old and above has increased from 4 % in 1980 and 1991 to 6 % in 2000 . Languages and religions ( edit ) Kuala Lumpur is pluralistic and religiously diverse . The city has many places of worship catering to the multi-religious population . Islam is practised primarily by the Malays and the Indian Muslim communities . Buddhism , Confucianism and Taoism are practised mainly among the Chinese . Indians traditionally adhere to Hinduism . Some Chinese and Indians also subscribe to Christianity . As of 2010 Census the population of Kuala Lumpur was 46.4 % Muslim , 35.7 % Buddhist , 8.5 % Hindu , 5.8 % Christian , 1.4 % of unknown affiliations , 1.1 % Taoist or Chinese religion adherent , 0.6 % follower of other religions , and 0.5 % non-religious . Bahasa Malaysia is the principal language in Kuala Lumpur . Kuala Lumpur residents are generally literate in English , with a large proportion adopting it as their first language . It has a strong presence , especially in business and is a compulsory language taught in schools . Cantonese and Mandarin are prominent as they are spoken by the local majority Chinese population . Another major dialect spoken is Hakka . While Tamil is dominant amongst the local Indian population , other Indian languages spoken include Telugu , Malayalam , Punjabi and Hindi .

Cityscape ( edit ) The city night scene from a building balcony Kuala Lumpur night skyline Architecture ( edit ) Main article : Architecture of Kuala Lumpur The Kuala Lumpur Railway Station ( right ) contrasts with a Keretapi Tanah Melayu ( left ) Administration Building darker , similarly Mughal - styled building . Both designed by A.B. Hubback The architecture of Kuala Lumpur is a mixture of old colonial influences , Asian traditions , Malay Islamic inspirations , modern , and postmodern architecture mix . Being a relatively young city compared with other Southeast Asian capitals such as Bangkok , Jakarta and Manila , most of Kuala Lumpur 's notable colonial - era buildings were built toward the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries . These buildings were designed in a number of styles -- Mughal / Moorish Revival , Mock Tudor , Neo-Gothic or Grecian - Spanish style or architecture . Most of the styling has been modified to use local resources and acclimatised to the local climate , which is hot and humid all year around . A significant architect of the early period is Arthur Benison Hubback who designed a number of the colonial era buildings including the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station and Jamek Mosque . The Kuala Lumpur Tower Prior to the Second World War , many shophouses , usually two stories with functional shops on the ground floor and separate residential spaces upstairs , were built around the old city centre . These shop - houses drew inspiration from Straits Chinese and European traditions . Some of these shophouses have made way for new developments but there are still many standing today around Medan Pasar ( Old Market Square ) , Chinatown , Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman , Jalan Doraisamy , Bukit Bintang and Tengkat Tong Shin areas . Independence coupled with the rapid economic growth from the 1970s to the 1990s and with Islam being the official religion in the country , has resulted in the construction of buildings with a more local and Islamic flavour arise around the city . Many of these buildings derive their design from traditional Malay items such as the songkok and the keris . Some of these buildings have Islamic geometric motifs integrated with the designs of the building , signifying Islamic restriction on imitating nature through drawings . Examples of these buildings are Menara Telekom , Menara Maybank , Dayabumi Complex , and the Islamic Centre . Some buildings such as the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia and National Planetarium have been built to masquerade as a place of worship , complete with dome and minaret , when in fact it is a place of science and knowledge . The 452 - metre ( 1,483 ft ) tall Petronas Twin Towers are the tallest twin buildings in the world . They were designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art . Late modern and postmodern architecture began to appear in the late - 1990s and early - 2000s . With the economic development , old buildings such as Bok House have been razed to make way for new ones . Buildings with all - glass shells exist throughout the city , with the most prominent examples being the Petronas Twin Towers and Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre . Kuala Lumpur 's central business district today has shifted around the Kuala Lumpur city centre ( KLCC ) where many new and tall buildings with modern and postmodern architecture fill the skyline . According to the World Tallest 50 Urban Agglomeration 2010 Projection by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat , Kuala Lumpur was ranked 10th among cities to have most buildings above 100 metres with a combined height of 34,035 metres from its 244 high rise buildings . Parks ( edit ) KLCC Park The Lake Gardens , a 92 - hectare ( 230 - acre ) botanical garden , is the first recreational park created in Kuala Lumpur .

Bukit Nanas , in the heart of the city centre , is one of the oldest virgin forests in the world within a city . These residual forest areas are home to a number of fauna species particularly monkeys , treeshrews , pygmy goats , budgerigars , squirrels and birds . There is another park in the close vicinity to Kuala Lumpur i.e. Templer Park initiated and opened by Sir Gerald Templer in 1954 during the `` Emergency '' time .

The main airport , Kuala Lumpur International Airport ( KLIA ) at Sepang , Selangor , which is also the aviation hub of Malaysia , is located about 50 kilometres ( 31 mi ) south of city . The other airport is Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport , also known as Subang Skypark and served as the main international gateway to Kuala Lumpur from 1965 until KLIA opened in 1998 .

KLIA can be reached using the KLIA Ekspres a airport rail link service from KL Sentral , which takes twenty - eight minutes , while travelling by car or bus via highway will take about an hour . Air Asia and other low - cost carrier flights do not fly out of KLIA main terminal but from KLIA2 which is two kilometres from KLIA .

As of 2007 , Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport is only used for chartered and turboprop flights by airlines such as Firefly and Berjaya Air . Public transport in Kuala Lumpur and the rest of the Klang Valley covers a variety of transport modes such as bus , rail and taxi .

The character first appeared in Captain America # 117 ( Sept. 1969 ) . Created by writer - editor Stan Lee and artist Gene Colan , he came about , Colan recalled in 2008 , ... in the late 1960s ( when news of the ) Vietnam War and civil rights protests were regular occurrences , and Stan , always wanting to be at the forefront of things , started bringing these headlines into the comics ... One of the biggest steps we took in this direction came in Captain America . I enjoyed drawing people of every kind . I drew as many different types of people as I could into the scenes I illustrated , and I loved drawing black people . I always found their features interesting and so much of their strength , spirit and wisdom written on their faces . I approached Stan , as I remember , with the idea of introducing an African - American hero and he took to it right away ... I looked at several African - American magazines , and used them as the basis of inspiration for bringing The Falcon to life . He was introduced as an unnamed former resident of New York City 's Harlem neighborhood , who had adopted a wild falcon he trained and named Redwing . ( His own name , Sam Wilson , was not given until page five of the following issue . ) When a group of men on an island `` in the tropics '' wanted a hunting falcon , Wilson answered the ad , only to discover that the self - dubbed `` Exiles '' were former Nazis in league with the supervillain the Red Skull . He escaped , but remained on the island to organize the natives to confront the Exiles , who had turned them into serfs . At the urging of Steve Rogers , whom he later learned was Captain America , Wilson took on the costumed identity of the Falcon and underwent training with Rogers in order to better inspire the villagers and lead the fight . Through most of the 1970s , the Falcon and Captain America were a team in New York City , and the series was cover - billed Captain America and the Falcon from issues # 134 -- 192 and 194 -- 222 ( February 1971 -- June 1978 ) , though still copyrighted as Captain America . In issue # 186 ( June 1975 ) , writer Steve Englehart retconned aspects of the Falcon 's past . Originally depicted as a former social worker , motivated by a desire to better the lives of inner - city youth , the Falcon was revealed as a mob - connected thug whose memories were altered by the reality - warping Cosmic Cube . The Falcon briefly joined the superhero team the Defenders , appearing in issues # 62 -- 64 ( August -- October 1978 ) , and was a member of the Avengers from issues # 183 -- 194 ( May 1979 -- April 1980 ) . During this time he also starred in a solo adventure in issue # 49 of the try - out series Marvel Premiere ; however , the story was not a try - out for a Falcon series , but an intended fill - in issue of Captain America which was shuffled into Marvel Premiere when the editors objected to having an issue of Captain America with someone other than the title character as the star . He starred in his own four - issue miniseries in 1983 , written by Jim Owsley . Its first issue was illustrated by Paul Smith with the final three issues by Mark Bright . The series revealed that the Falcon was a mutant , although this development was later retconned in the Avengers 2001 Annual . After regularly appearing in Captain America vol. 2 ( November 1996 -- November 1997 ) , the Falcon rejoined the Avengers in The Avengers vol. 3 , # 1 ( February 1998 ) . This time , he remained with the team , becoming one of its most prominent members by issue # 57 ( Oct. 2002 ) . Concurrently , he was also a supporting character in Captain America vols. 3 -- 4 ( January 1998 -- February 2002 and June 2002 -- December 2004 ) . The Falcon next appeared in the short - lived Captain America and the Falcon series , in 2004 and 2005 . After the events of the storyline `` Avengers Disassembled '' , when the Scarlet Witch temporarily restored his criminal personality , the Falcon became a supporting character in Captain America vol. 5 ( January 2005 -- July 2009 ) . The Falcon continued to play a significant role in the series after it returned to its original numbering , beginning with Captain America # 600 ( Aug. 2009 ) . Falcon was a member of the Avengers in the 2012 Marvel NOW ! relaunch . On July 16 , 2014 Marvel Comics announced that Sam Wilson would relinquish the mantle of Falcon and would become the new Captain America , succeeding Steve Rogers in the role . An ongoing series starring Sam Wilson as Captain America launched in October 2015 , as part of Marvel 's post-Secret Wars relaunch , written by Nick Spencer and Daniel Acuña . Wilson temporarily returns to the role of Captain America in the 2017 miniseries Marvel 's Generations . Wilson resumed the identity of Falcon in a series written by Rodney Barnes that debuted in late 2017 , the character 's first solo series since 1983 . Fictional character biography ( edit ) Early life ( edit ) Samuel Thomas Wilson was born in Harlem , New York City , to Paul Wilson , a prominent minister , and Darlene Wilson . Wilson has a happy childhood and finds he has a natural affinity for birds . He takes up training pigeons , and has the largest pigeon coop in Harlem . In his teens , however , encounters with racism leave him jaded . When he is 16 , Wilson refuses to join the church , believing his deeply religious parents to be ignorant for their faith . To his surprise , rather than put up a fight , his parents provide him with books on different religions and comparative theology . The next night , however , Sam 's father is killed trying to break up a neighborhood fight ( originally Paul was said to have been killed when Sam was 9 years old ) . Two years later , his mother is shot and killed by a mugger one block from their apartment . Consumed by grief and `` angry at the world '' Sam turns his back on his past as a respected community volunteer . He moves to Los Angeles and creates a new persona : `` Snap '' Wilson , a professional criminal and gang member . While Snap is on his way to `` a big score in Rio de Janeiro '' , his plane crashes on Exile Island ( years later , he would say `` I actually loved this place quite a bit . It 's where I met my two best friends , '' referring to Captain America and Redwing ) . The once - peaceful island had been taken over by the Exiles , a group of would - be world conquerors who had collaborated with the Nazi supervillain the Red Skull during World War II . They had been betrayed by the Red Skull and were forced to remain in hiding on the island , enslaving the natives . Wilson finds and befriends Redwing , a falcon with which he feels a remarkably strong bond . Becoming the Falcon ( edit ) As part of a plot against Captain America , the Red Skull uses the Cosmic Cube , a creation that allows its user to alter reality , to mentally fuse Wilson with Redwing , creating a `` super-normal mental link '' that would , with time and concentration , give Wilson broad powers over all birds . Next , the Skull uses the Cube to rewrite the past and erase the years Wilson had spent angrily living as Snap Wilson . In this new history , Wilson was an upright and cheerful social worker who is eventually lured to the Exiles ' island and organizes the natives to fight for their freedom . Steve Rogers ( Captain America ) befriends him there and convinces Wilson to adopt a persona to inspire the natives in their rebellion . The two create the costumed persona the Falcon and train together extensively before attacking and defeating the Exiles and the Red Skull . The Falcon becomes Captain America 's regular partner in crime - fighting , and briefly even takes on the Captain America costume and identity when Rogers is believed to have been killed . Later , again as the Falcon , Wilson receives help from the Black Panther , who creates a harness for Wilson , allowing him to fly . When Rogers briefly abandons his Captain America identity , others attempt to take up the mantle , including a young man named Roscoe whom the Falcon mentors . When the Red Skull eventually kills Roscoe , Rogers again becomes Captain America . Soon afterward , the Red Skull reveals the Falcon 's true past as Snap Wilson , and unsuccessfully attempts to use the Cosmic Cube to make the Falcon kill Captain America . Now aware of his past but deciding to continue as a hero , the Falcon is eventually named head of the Super Agents at the espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D. . US government superhero liaison Henry Peter Gyrich then recruits Wilson , one of the few active black superheroes , to fill a mandated racial quota for the venerable team the Avengers . Resentful of being a `` token '' , the Falcon quits at the first opportunity . He debuts a new costume when he fights the supervillain Taskmaster . 2000s ( edit ) Falcon becomes a member of the new team of Avengers assembled to fight the international menace Scorpio as a United Nations peacekeeping agency . By this point , Falcon had discovered that he could extend his telepathic bond with Redwing , allowing him to control other birds and `` see '' through their eyes . He uses this ability to spy on Henry Gyrich ( now the Avengers ' liaison with the United Nations ) and discovers that the United States ' Secretary of Defense , Dell Rusk , has been pressuring Gyrich to spy on the Avengers and turn over their secrets . Although initially hostile to one another , Falcon convinces Gyrich to help the Avengers spy on Rusk , feeding him false information while gathering evidence to expose him . They discover that Rusk is actually the Red Skull , who has launched a biological weapon attack on America , intending to use the ensuing panic to gain control over America 's government and start a war with other countries . Falcon is instrumental in defeating the Red Skull . It is around this period of time that , a new `` Captain America '' secretly created by the Office of Naval Intelligence ( O.N.I. ) goes rogue and begins eliminating anything and anyone he sees as a source of terrorism . To draw out this agent ( dubbed `` The Anti-Cap '' ) , O.N.I. leaks information about their involvement in a biological weapons project with the notorious Rivas Family , powerful Cuban drug lords . Reporter and social activist Leila Taylor investigates this rumor and attempts to smuggle a sample of the virus into America , but she is arrested by U.S. forces in Cuba . Falcon , who is a friend of Taylor , breaks her out of prison and investigates her claims , destroying the Rivas Family 's biological weapons lab and obtaining a sample of the mysterious virus they were developing for O.N.I. Falcon is able to fly Leila back to America ( although his flying harness is destroyed in a hurricane ) while Captain America follows Falcon 's directions and retrieves the virus sample . The Anti-Cap kills the head of the Rivas family , and pursues Leila , Falcon , and Cap , intent on obtaining the virus sample . After reuniting , Falcon and Captain America are able to barely defeat the Anti-Cap . Realizing that O.N.I. 's goal was to draw out their rogue agent to execute him , Captain America arranges to have the Anti-Cap secretly imprisoned in the Wakandan embassy until O.N.I. agrees not to kill him . Since Captain America and Falcon now possess both O.N.I. 's rogue agent and the last remaining sample of O.N.I. 's virus , O.N.I. begins to put increasing amounts of pressure on the heroes . Falcon is especially targeted -- he had broken Leila out of Federal Custody , and his criminal history makes it easier for O.N.I. to create further false charges against him . Falcon soon finds himself on the run from O.N.I. Meanwhile , the superheroine the Scarlet Witch , having gone insane , begins using her powers to re-create many of the Avengers ' greatest trials and tragedies . She destabilizes the Falcon 's mind , causing him to act increasingly like his `` Snap '' persona . He begins carrying a gun , keeps secrets from his friends , assaults Leila 's boyfriend Norman when he protests they go into hiding , and uses a high power rifle to shoot at his friend Robbie Robertson ( to fool Robbie into thinking O.N.I. was threatening to kill him ) . Although they succeed in exposing the illegal activities of O.N.I. and clear Wilson 's name , Sam 's methods cause his relationship with Captain America to become strained . Cap confronts Falcon about his recent actions , and Falcon , angered at what he sees as an ultimatum , terminates their partnership . As they are walking away , Norman ( who blames Falcon for the end of his relationship with Leila ) appears and shoots at Falcon . Captain America is seriously injured by the stray bullets , and even appears to die . The shock of watching his best friend seemingly die because of his actions has a powerful affect on Sam , who briefly gives up being Falcon and reexamines his life . Sam Wilson reappears as Falcon in the 2005 `` House of M '' storyline and in the 2006 -- 07 `` Civil War '' storyline . In the latter , he supports Captain America against the Superhuman Registration Act . When the Captain becomes incapacitated , Falcon temporarily assumes leadership of the `` Secret Avengers '' rebel group . Following Captain America 's assassination by the machinations of the Red Skull , the Falcon registers with the government and is made responsible for Harlem , although he continues to maintain contact with the underground New Avengers . He is also called upon to investigate the Captain 's assassination by locating Winter Soldier and tracking down the Red Skull . Becoming Captain America ( edit ) Wilson as Captain America on the cover of All - New Captain America # 1 ( November 2014 ) . Art by Stuart Immonen . Wilson appears in the 2010 `` Shadowland '' storyline as Falcon , after which he becomes an operative in the new incarnation of the Heroes for Hire team , in the book of the same name . He later appears in the 2012 `` Avengers vs. X-Men '' storyline , helping She - Hulk and several other Avengers contain the students at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning . As part of the 2012 - 2015 Marvel NOW ! relaunch , Wilson rejoins the Avengers after Iron Man and Captain America choose to expand the team 's line - up . After Rogers is aged into an old man , he appoints Wilson as his ' official ' replacement as Captain America . During a confrontation with the Red Skull 's daughter Sin , it is revealed that the `` Snap '' identity was a fake memory implanted into Sam by the Red Skull in an attempt to discredit the hero through racism . As part of the 2015 All - New , All - Different Marvel initiative , Captain America investigated the disappearance of Mexican teenager Joaquin Torres after he was abducted by the Sons of the Serpent . After fighting Armadillo and capturing the leader of the hate group , Captain America discovered that Joaquin was being used in the experiments of Karl Malus who turned Joaquin into a bird / human hybrid using Captain America 's pet bird Redwing . When Karl Malus was defeated , Captain America took Joaquin in . When it was discovered Joaquin 's bird / human hybrid condition was n't temporary , Captain America learned from Claire Temple that Joaquin 's condition was permanent due to Redwing being vampiric and sporting a healing factor . When Captain America was captured by the Serpent Society and thrown out the window by Viper , he was saved by Joaquin . Using his link with Redwing , Captain America telepathically sent Joaquin the knowledge on how to fight where he held his own until Misty Knight and Demolition Man showed up . After the Serpent Society was defeated , Captain America allowed Joaquin to become his sidekick , enabling him to become the new Falcon . During the 2016 `` Avengers : Standoff ! '' storyline , Sam , after defeating the Green Skull , is contacted by Whisperer ( an alias of Rick Jones ) . After meeting Whisperer , he learns that S.H.I.E.L.D. never discarded the Kobik project as he thought they did . He meets with Steve Rogers , where they follow a lead to a town in Connecticut and are later picked up by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents . He then meets the Winter Soldier and rescue S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Avril Kincaid from the Blood Brothers , who informs them of a super-weapon hidden in the town that Baron Zemo and the other villains are looking for . They then head to the bowling alley where Kobik uses her powers to restore Steve Rogers to his prime when he was about to be killed by Crossbones . They begin looking for Kobik again only to discover that Baron Zemo had Fixer invent a device that would help find Kobik as Kraven the Hunter rallies the villains to help with their goals . Upon not being able to successfully locate Kobik , Steve Rogers decides to rally the heroes so that they can take the fight to Baron Zemo . In the aftermath of the incident , Steve and Sam plan to keep what happened at Pleasant Hill under wraps at the time being . After the `` Standoff ! '' storyline , Sam begins to face public pressure to return the shield and mantle of Captain America to Steve , as does Maria Hill for the consequences of her actions on Pleasant Hill . He and Steve then begin to secretly plan for a way to get Hill to face her crimes publicly . During a press conference , Sam encounters the mercenary Chance who was about to kill Steve in the middle of his speech . After defeating him , Sam receives a hero 's welcome when Steve announces him to the public as Captain America . While getting arrested , Chance tells Sam that he was on Pleasant Hill and that he did n't agree with the heroes ' actions . During the 2016 `` Civil War II '' storyline , Captain America attend War Machine 's funeral , where he delivers an inspirational speech . Months later , Wilson watches a TV broadcast about former New Warrior Rage engaging in a fight with the Americops , a private police force funded by Keane Industries , in Brooklyn . Intending to stop the fight , Wilson , along with Redwing and Falcon , try to contain the situation . Sam manages to stop the fight , although not without fighting the Americops , for which he knew the media would portray him negatively . As he leaves , he is attacked from behind by U.S. Agent . After a brief argument , Captain America and U.S. Agent begin to fight , with U.S. Agent gaining the upper hand , until Sam drags him into a tunnel where the darkness and the great horned owls that reside in it allow him to win the fight . After defeating U.S. Agent and receiving an argument from Rage , Wilson returns to his headquarters where he decides to put a tiny implant in his brain that will enhance his ability to see what birds see , enabling him to transmit them into a data storage facility that converts them into images and videos . He decides to further investigate the Americops to find proof of their violent activities . While accompanying Steve Rogers on a mission to stop Flag - Smasher 's latest assault , Wilson fails to save a senator from being shot by the villain , further compromising his current public image . This is subsequently revealed to have been deliberately staged by Rogers who has been converted to believe he is a Hydra sleeper agent since childhood . Using his greater familiarity with the shield , Rogers deliberately put Wilson in a position where he would be unable to use the shield to save the senator , with the final goal of demoralizing Sam to the point where he will return the shield to Rogers of his own free will ( not wanting to kill Wilson and risk creating a martyr ) . After discovering that Rage was arrested and accused of robbing a pawn shop which Man Mountain Marko and Speed Demon committed , Sam offers him professional help from other heroes , but Rage turns it down , preferring that he should be the one to prove his innocence . After consulting with his brother and Rogers , Sam posts a video on the internet showing footage of the Americops beating up Rage , exposing their violent activities . During Rage 's trial , a frustrated Sam leaves the courtroom and captures Speed Demon , who confesses to his and Man Mountain Marko 's involvement in the pawn shop robbery . Upon returning to the court , Misty tells Sam that the verdict was already given . While people protest over Rage 's arrest , Sam tries his best to calm them . Sam leaves a letter which explains he is ending his role as Captain America and returning the shield to Steve Rogers During the 2017 `` Secret Empire '' storyline , Sam has spent time alone in a desert and returns to the city where he discovers Hydra 's takeover and that Steve Rogers is their leader . Sam rescues a woman and her Inhuman daughter from Hydra enforcers , Sam reluctantly helps them to safety . He reunites with Misty Knight and Demolition Man and helps smuggle other Inhumans out of the country . He helps Ant - Man smuggle his daughter Cassandra Lang then declines their offer to join the underground resistance . When Hawkeye and the Tony Stark A.I. reveal that Kobik was responsible for Steve 's change , Sam agrees to help smuggle them out of the country so they can find the Cosmic Cube 's fragments . Sam takes the group through an abandoned subway tunnel where they encounter Mole Man , with whom Sam strikes a deal when they are attacked by Dreadnoughts sent by Hydra . After crossing the tunnel , the group departs in a jet plane . They arrive in a mansion where Ultron resides , since he is in possession of the shard . They encounter Steve Rogers and his Avengers until Ultron captures them . After a brief battle , Ultron allows them to leave and gives the shard to Tony 's team . Steve muses that he is unconcerned about who will acquire the fragments as he has an inside man in the Tony Stark A.I. 's team . After a series of dead ends , the team returns to the hideout , where Sam reunites with Misty , until Hydra forces arrive and begin their assault on the base . During the battle , Sam helps the other heroes in protecting the refugees and battling Hydra 's Avengers and a revived Bruce Banner as the Hulk until the base explodes . In the aftermath of the attack , Sam appears standing on top of the rubble as Captain America to inspire the resistance to not surrender . It is later revealed that Sam had a conversation with Misty Knight and Rayshaun Lucas , the new Patriot , which has persuaded him to reassume the role of Captain America , leading the resistance and wielding Rogers ' original round shield as a symbol of hope . Sam uses the Cosmic Cube fragment acquired by the resistance to help destroy the Darforce dome surrounding Manhattan and the planetary defense shield , releasing all the trapped heroes . Liberating all the imprisoned Inhumans , the Underground attacks the Capitol which attracts the attention of Steve Rogers , who arrives wearing Cosmic Cube - powered armor . During the final battle , Sam fakes surrender and gives the fragment to Steve , only for Winter Soldier to intervene and bring Kobik and the real Steve Rogers back . The restored Steve Rogers manages to defeat the Hydra Steve Rogers with Thor 's hammer and Kobik restores reality back to normal . Return as Falcon ( edit ) Upon taking the second Patriot on as his sidekick , they travel to Chicago to deal with an outbreak of gang violence , unaware that Blackheart is posing as the city 's Mayor . Powers , abilities , and equipment ( edit ) Powers ( edit ) In his earliest appearances , Wilson exhibits a close bond with his bird Redwing , which is confirmed as being a telepathic link by Professor X in Captain America # 174 . The Red Skull later reveals that he had used the Cosmic Cube to create a `` super-normal mental link '' between Sam Wilson and Redwing . Falcon later recalled the experience , stating `` Hurt like hell . Being mentally fused with that falcon . Able to see through his eyes . '' Wilson eventually revealed that he has been able to extend this empathic link . `` I 'm always psychically connected with Redwing , but through concentration , I 've recently tapped into another ability -- I 'm able to link - up with other birds ... I have over six billion pairs of eyes in the United States alone . '' He used this ability to quickly search New York City when the criminal Scarecrow kidnapped two children , as well as to spy on Senator Dell Rusk ( actually the Red Skull in disguise ) and Henry Peter Gyrich . He is also apparently able to access the memories of birds , and see things they had witnessed in the past ( although birds have a different concept of the passage of time , which makes it difficult for him to know when any events they witnessed occurred ) . Abilities ( edit ) Wilson is a skilled hand - to - hand combatant , having been trained in Judo and Karate by Steve Rogers . Wilson is also highly - skilled in the use of Captain America 's shield . Uniform and flight harness ( edit ) Wilson 's original Falcon wing harness featured detachable jet - powered glider wings made of lightweight titanium ribbing and Mylar . The wings were covered with wafer - thin solar power receptors that convert sunlight into electricity to power miniature high - speed electric turbine fans in his uniform and boots . The wings detached and reattached to his uniform cybernetically . The harness was destroyed in Captain America and the Falcon # 2 ( 2004 ) . The uniform was made of synthetic stretch fabric lined with a steel - alloy mesh . After the original flying harness 's destruction in a 2004 storyline , the Black Panther supplied Falcon with a new costume and wings . An emitter array on Falcon 's back creates holographic `` hard light '' wings with a maximum wingspan of up to 50 feet ( 15 m ) . Controlled by a cybernetic link , the wings can be instantly reconfigured into `` dozens of different cruise configurations '' . A `` magnetic drive '' , in turn , provides the thrust needed to get Falcon airborne . The emitter also possesses GPS jamming devices that prevent satellite tracking , while the hard - light wings interfere with infra - red tracking . A vibranium microweave was added to the costume itself , making Falcon resistant to small arms fire . The entire system is controlled mentally through cybernetic circuitry in the Falcon 's mask . The costume has in the past featured a hidden `` talon , '' a cybernetically controlled grappling line built into the gauntlets of his costume which he uses to entangle opponents , hook objects , or for swinging and climbing when his wings are detached . The costume 's visors come equipped with various capabilities , including infrared lenses , giving him the ability to see objects by their infrared signature at night , magnification capabilities , and remote imaging sensors that allow a full 360 degree of vision when activated . The cowl also has a wide band receiver and transmitter with an unspecified range . The suit was originally built by the Black Panther , with costume modifications by Desmond Burrell . Other characters named Falcon ( edit ) Joaquin Torres ( edit ) As part of the 2015 All - New , All - Different Marvel branding , Captain America ( Sam Wilson ) investigated the disappearance of Mexican teenager Joaquin Torres after he was abducted by the Sons of the Serpent . Captain America discovered that Joaquin was being used in the experiments of Karl Malus who turned Joaquin into a bird / human hybrid using Captain America 's pet bird Redwing . When Karl Malus was defeated , Captain America took Joaquin in . When it was discovered Joaquin 's bird / human hybrid condition was n't temporary , Captain America learned from Claire Temple that Joaquin 's condition was permanent due to Redwing being vampiric and sporting a healing factor . When Captain America was captured by the Serpent Society and thrown out the window by Viper , he was saved by Joaquin . Using his link with Redwing , Captain America telepathically sent Joaquin the knowledge on how to fight where he held his own until Misty Knight and Demolition Man showed up . After the Serpent Society was defeated , Captain America allowed Joaquin to become his sidekick , enabling him to become the new Falcon . During the `` Secret Empire '' storyline , Falcon II and Ironheart join the Champions when they join up with the Underground. > Adrian Toomes ( edit ) Main article : Vulture ( Marvel Comics ) In a 2017 storyline , Adrian Toomes developed a modified version of his Electromagnetic Wing Harness that has a reinforced helmet and lightweight , razor - sharp , nano - woven wings which responded to his mental commands where he took on the name Falcon where he believed the name to be vacant at the time . He robbed a location in East Village where he fought Spider - Man until they were immobilized by a new Trapster who made off with Falcon 's loot . Carl burgess ( edit ) A similar , unrelated character of the same name and powers was created in 1939 by writer - artist Bill Everett for Marvel Comics ' predecessor company , Timely Comics .

Sam Wilson / Falcon appears as one of the zombified heroes in the Marvel Zombies universe . Initially , he is among the many heroes summoned by Nick Fury to fight off the infection , but he winds up being infected . Afterwards , in Marvel Zombies 3 , he , along with other wing - laden characters ( Angel , Beak and Vulture ) , attack Machine Man , Ultron and Jocasta as soon as they arrive in this ravaged universe , but he and the others are quickly killed by Machine Man . In Amazing Spider - Girl # 7 , which is part of the MC2 universe , Wilson was revealed to be dead . However , the Ladyhawk twins wear attire similar to his first costume , from before he had the mantle of either Falcon or Captain America . In the `` Once and Future King '' story arc from Black Panther , a retired Sam Wilson is shown as the mayor of New York City 25 years into the future . He comes out of retirement for one final mission to help Black Panther defeat T'charra , T'Chaka's treasonous son .

He is an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. rather than an official member of the Ultimates or Reserves . He has served with or under General Nick Fury , and was a member of the armed forces but retired to pursue scientific interests . This version appears to be an accomplished combatant , especially when using the sharp edge of the metal wings he wears as a weapon , which are controlled through the help of nanotechnology , with which he can communicate and retrieve computer information . The wings are partially self - repairing , as referenced in Ultimate Extinction . In Marvel 's MAX imprint series U.S. War Machine , Wilson appeared alongside Captain America and Hawkeye ; he and Hawkeye served as Captain America 's backup and wore no costumes , only being addressed by their real names .

Consequently , Wilson gains superhuman abilities comparable to those of Captain America . His military nickname , `` The Falcon '' , becomes his superhero code name , avenges his father by beating Master Man , and along with Captain America , and Nick Fury defeat the Red Skull 's plans for world domination .

A female version of Sam Wilson ( Samantha T. Wilson ) serves as the original Captain America of the Spider - Gwen universe of Earth - 65 . When World War II struck , she became one of the first black female pilots in the U.S. military . Eventually , she was recruited into Project Rebirth , and was chosen to undergo the procedure when the other candidates Bucky , Steve Rogers , and Isaiah Bradley were badly injured by Nazi agents . After this , she became Captain America , and fought the Nazis . When the Nazis attempted to summon creatures from another dimension , she entered said dimension to hold off the invading forces , un-aging in this reality for nearly 75 years . When she finally defeated them and returned to her home dimension of Earth - 65 , she was recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. director Peggy Carter to continue her service as Captain America as one of her agents . Another version of Sam Wilson appears in the Spider - Gwen universe of Earth - 65 .

Stirling Castle , a Scots royal fortress , occupied by the English , was under siege by the Scottish army . The English king , Edward II , assembled a formidable force to relieve it . This attempt failed , and his army was defeated in a pitched battle by a smaller army commanded by the King of Scots , Robert the Bruce .

The removal of John Balliol from the Scottish throne also contributed to the English success . The Scots had been victorious in defeating the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297 . This was countered , however , by Edward I 's victory at the Battle of Falkirk ( 1298 ) . By 1304 Scotland had been conquered , but in 1306 Robert the Bruce seized the Scottish throne and the war was reopened . Edward II of England came to the throne in 1307 but was incapable of providing the determined leadership that had been shown by his father , Edward I , and the English position soon became more difficult . Stirling Castle was one of the most important castles that was held by the English as it commanded the route north into the Scottish Highlands . It was besieged in 1314 by Robert the Bruce 's brother , Edward Bruce , and an agreement was made that if the castle was not relieved by mid-summer then it would be surrendered to the Scots . The English could not ignore this challenge and military preparations were made for a substantial campaign in which the English army probably numbered 2,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry , many of whom would have been longbowmen . The Scottish army probably numbered between 7,000 and 10,000 men , of whom no more than 500 would have been mounted . Unlike the heavily armoured English cavalry , the Scottish cavalry would have been light horsemen who were good for skirmishing and reconnaissance but were not suitable for charging the enemy lines . The Scottish infantry would have had axes , swords and pikes , with few bowmen among them . The precise size of the English force relative to the Scottish forces is unclear but estimates range from as much as at least two or three times the size of the army Bruce had been able to gather , to as little as only 50 % larger . Prelude ( edit ) An early 14th century English depiction of a Biblical battle giving an impression of how soldiers were equipped at Bannockburn . The image of a king wielding a battle axe in the top half has led some historians to link this image to Bannockburn . Edward II and his advisors were aware of the places that the Scots were likely to challenge them and sent out orders for their troops to prepare for an enemy established in boggy ground near to the River Forth , near Stirling . The English appear to have advanced in four divisions whereas the Scots were in three divisions , known as ' schiltrons ' which were strong defensive circles of men bristling with pikes . Thomas Randolph , 1st Earl of Moray , commanded the Scottish vanguard , which was stationed about a mile to the south of Stirling , near the church of St. Ninian , while the king commanded the rearguard at the entrance to the New Park . His brother Edward led the third division . According to Barbour , there was a fourth division nominally under the youthful Walter the Steward , but actually under the command of Sir James Douglas . The Scottish archers used yew - stave longbows and though these were not weaker than or inferior to English longbows , there were fewer Scottish archers than English archers , possibly numbering only 500 . These archers played little part in the battle . There is firsthand evidence in a poem by the captured Carmelite friar Robert Baston , written just after the battle , that one or both sides employed slingers and crossbowmen . Battle ( edit ) Location of the battlefield ( edit ) There is some confusion over the exact site of the Battle of Bannockburn , although most modern historians agree that the traditional site , where a visitor centre and statue have been erected , is not the correct one . Although a large number of possible alternatives have been proposed , most can be dismissed leaving two serious contenders : the area of peaty ground known as the Dryfield outside the village of Balquhiderock , about three - quarters of a mile to the east of the traditional site , and the Carse of Balquhiderock , about a mile and a half north - east of the traditional site , accepted by the National Trust as the most likely candidate . First day of battle ( edit ) An interpretation of the battle of Bannockburn - first day Most medieval battles were short - lived , lasting only a few hours , so that the Battle of Bannockburn is unusual in lasting two days . On 23 June 1314 two of the English cavalry formations advanced , the first commanded by the Earl of Gloucester and the Earl of Hereford . They encountered a body of Scots , among them Robert the Bruce himself . A celebrated single combat then took place between Bruce and Henry de Bohun who was the nephew of the Earl of Hereford . Bohun charged at Bruce and when the two passed side by side , Bruce split Bohun 's head with his axe . The Scots then rushed upon the English under Gloucester and Hereford who struggled back over the Bannockburn . The second English cavalry force was commanded by Robert Clifford and Henry de Beaumont and included Sir Thomas de Grey of Heaton , father of the chronicler Thomas Grey whose account of events follows ; Robert Lord de Clifford and Henry de Beaumont , with three hundred men - at - arms , made a circuit upon the other side of the wood towards the castle , keeping the open ground . Thomas Randolph , 1st Earl of Moray , Robert de Brus 's nephew , who was leader of the Scottish advanced guard , hearing that his uncle had repulsed the advanced guard of the English on the other side of the wood , thought that he must have his share , and issuing from the wood with his division marched across the open ground towards the two afore - named lords . Sir Henry de Beaumont called to his men : `` Let us wait a little ; let them come on ; give them room '' `` Sir , '' said Sir Thomas Gray , `` I doubt that whatever you give them now , they will have all too soon '' `` Very well '' exclaimed the said Henry , `` if you are afraid , be off '' `` Sir , '' answered the said Thomas , `` it is not from fear that I shall fly this day . '' So saying he spurred in between Beaumont and Sir William Deyncourt , and charged into the thick of the enemy . William was killed , Thomas was taken prisoner , his horse being killed on the pikes , and he himself carried off with the Scots on foot when they marched off , having utterly routed the squadron of the said two lords . Some of the English fled to the castle , others to the king 's army , which having already left the road through the wood had debouched upon a plain near the water of Forth beyond Bannockburn , an evil , deep , wet marsh , where the said English army unharnessed and remained all night , having sadly lost confidence and being too much disaffected by the events of the day . -- Sir Thomas Gray , Scalacronica , translated by Herbert Maxwell Second day of battle ( edit ) An interpretation of the battle of Bannockburn - second day Under nightfall the English forces crossed the stream that is known as the Bannock Burn , establishing their position on the plain beyond it . A Scottish knight , Alexander Seton , who was fighting in the service of Edward II of England , deserted the English camp and told Bruce of the low English morale , encouraging Bruce to attack them . In the morning the Scots then advanced from New Park . Not long after daybreak , the Scots spearmen began to move towards the English . Edward was surprised to see Robert 's army emerge from the cover of the woods . As Bruce 's army drew nearer , they paused and knelt in prayer . Edward is supposed to have said in surprise `` They pray for mercy ! '' `` For mercy , yes , '' one of his attendants replied , `` But from God , not you . These men will conquer or die . '' The English responded to the Scots advance with a charge of their own , led by the Earl of Gloucester . Gloucester had argued with the Earl of Hereford over who should lead the vanguard into battle , and argued with the king that the battle should be postponed . This led the king to accuse him of cowardice , which perhaps goaded Gloucester into the charge . Few accompanied Gloucester in his charge and when he reached the Scottish lines he was quickly surrounded and killed . Gradually the English were pushed back and ground down by the Scots ' schiltrons . The English longbowmen attempted to support the advance of the knights but were ordered to stop shooting , as they were causing casualties among their own . An attempt to deploy the English and Welsh longbowmen to shoot at the advancing Scots from their flank failed when they were dispersed by 500 Scottish cavalry under the Marischal Sir Robert Keith . Although these are sometimes described as light cavalry , this appears to be a misinterpretation of Barbour 's statement that these were men - at arms on lighter horses than their English counterparts . The English cavalry was hemmed in , making it difficult for them to manoeuvre . As a result , the English were unable to hold their formations and broke ranks . It soon became clear to Aymer de Valence , 2nd Earl of Pembroke and Giles d'Argentan ( reputedly the third best knight in Europe ) that the English had lost and Edward II needed to be led to safety at all costs . So , seizing his horse 's reins , they dragged him away , closely followed by five hundred knights of the royal bodyguard . Once they were clear of the battle d'Argentan turned to the king , said `` Sire , your protection was committed to me , but since you are safely on your way , I will bid you farewell for never yet have I fled from a battle , nor will I now . '' and turned his horse to charge back into the ranks of Scottish where he was overborne and slain . English retreat ( edit ) Edward fled with his personal bodyguard , ending the remaining order in the army ; panic spread and defeat turned into a rout . He arrived eventually at Dunbar Castle , from which he took ship to Berwick . From the carnage of Bannockburn , the rest of the army tried to escape to the safety of the English border , ninety miles to the south . Many were killed by the pursuing Scottish army or by the inhabitants of the countryside that they passed through . Historian Peter Reese says that , `` only one sizeable group of men -- all foot soldiers -- made good their escape to England . '' These were a force of Welsh spearmen who were kept together by their commander , Sir Maurice de Berkeley , and the majority of them reached Carlisle . Weighing up the available evidence , Reese concludes that `` it seems doubtful if even a third of the footsoldiers returned to England . '' Out of 16,000 infantrymen , this would give a total of about 11,000 killed . The English chronicler Thomas Walsingham gave the number of English men - at - arms who were killed as 700 , while 500 more men - at - arms were spared for ransom . The Scottish losses appear to have been comparatively light , with only two knights among those killed . Aftermath ( edit ) The defeat of the English opened up the north of England to Scottish raids and allowed the Scottish invasion of Ireland . These finally led , after the failure of the Declaration of Arbroath to reach this end by diplomatic means , to the Treaty of Edinburgh -- Northampton . Under the treaty the English Crown recognised the full independence of the Kingdom of Scotland , and acknowledged Robert the Bruce , and his heirs and successors , as the rightful rulers .

Further lands were purchased in 1960 and 1965 to facilitate visitor access . A modern monument stands in a field above the battle site , where the warring parties are believed to have camped on the night before the battle . The monument consists of two hemicircular walls depicting the opposing parties . Nearby stands the 1960s statue of Bruce by Pilkington Jackson . The monument , and the associated visitor centre , is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the area . The battlefield has been included in the Inventory of Historic Battlefields in Scotland and protected by Historic Scotland under the Historic Environment ( Amendment ) Act 2011 . Alley to the monument Statue of Robert the Bruce by Pilkington Jackson View of the circular walls and the flag pole Close Up of the statue The National Trust for Scotland operates the Bannockburn Visitor Centre ( previously known as the Bannockburn Heritage Centre ) , which is open daily from March through October . On 31 October 2012 the building was closed for demolition and replacement by a new design , inspired by traditional Scottish buildings , by Reiach and Hall Architects . The project is a partnership between the National Trust for Scotland and Historic Scotland , funded by the Scottish Government and the Heritage Lottery Fund . The battlefield 's new visitor centre - now rebranded as the Bannockburn Visitor Centre - opened in March 2014 . One of the attractions created by a £ 9m redevelopment of the centre and the nearby battlefield memorial is a computerised multiplayer game . Arts ( edit ) Bruce addresses troops from Cassell 's History of England `` Scots Wha Hae '' is the title of a patriotic poem by Robert Burns . The chorus of Scotland 's unofficial national anthem Flower of Scotland refers to Scotland 's victory over Edward and the English at Bannockburn . Many artworks depict the battle . John Duncan and Eric Harald Macbeth Robertson both painted Bruce 's encounter with de Bohun . John Phillip painted Bruce receiving the sacrament on the eve of the battle . John Hassall painted a similar theme . William Findlay also depicts Bruce at the battle . The Swedish power metal band Sabaton wrote the song Blood of Bannockburn on their album The Last Stand .

He goes to drink alone at a bar , where a young , beautiful woman walks in . She sees that Danny has a wedding ring on his hand , and asks him about his wife , to which he explains how she recently left him for someone else , and the woman from the bar ends up sleeping with him . Twenty - three years later , Danny ( now 45 - years old ) is now a successful plastic surgeon in Los Angeles who feigns unhappy marriages to get women , and to avoid romantic commitment that may lead to heartbreak . The only woman aware of his schemes is his office manager and best friend Katherine Murphy ( Jennifer Aniston ) , a divorced mother of two . At a party , Danny meets Palmer ( Brooklyn Decker ) , a sixth grade math teacher , without his wedding ring on , and they have a connection together . The next morning , she finds the ring and assumes he is married . She refuses to date him because her parents divorced due to adultery . Instead of telling her the truth , Danny tells her that he is getting divorced from a woman named Devlin . Danny tells Palmer that they are getting divorced because she cheated on him with a man named `` Dolph Lundgren '' ( not the actor ) . Palmer then insists on meeting Devlin . Danny asks Katherine to pose as `` Devlin '' and they go shopping for new clothes to dress like a trophy wife . A made - over Katherine / `` Devlin '' then meets with Danny and Palmer and gives them her blessing . However , after hearing Katherine talking on the phone with her kids , Palmer assumes that her kids are Danny 's as well . Danny then privately meets with Katherine 's kids , Maggie ( Bailee Madison ) and Michael ( Griffin Gluck ) , to get them to play along and gives them the aliases of `` Kiki Dee '' and `` Bart '' respectively . Danny accepts their demands for being his fake children . Palmer meets the kids at a play center where Maggie has adopted a fake british accent , and Michael acts very morose . They blackmail Danny in front of Palmer to take them all to Hawaii . At the airport , they are all surprised by Danny 's goofball cousin Eddie ( Nick Swardson ) , who has adopted an Austrian disguise as the `` Dolph Lundgren '' that Danny had made up earlier . To maintain the lies , Danny and Katherine are forced to bring him along . At the resort in Hawaii , Danny tells Eddie that he is considering asking Palmer to marry him . Katherine and Danny also run into the real - life Devlin Adams ( Nicole Kidman ) and her husband Ian Maxtone - Jones ( Dave Matthews ) . Because of Katherine and Devlin 's long - time rivalry , Katherine introduces Danny as her husband rather than admit she is a single mother . Over time , Katherine is impressed by Danny and his way of fun with her kids . Katherine again runs into Devlin , who invites her and Danny out to dinner . Eddie agrees to take Palmer out to dinner so that Danny can go with Katherine . Since he is supposed to be a sheep salesman , Eddie 's cover is nearly blown when he is forced to save the life of an actual sheep who choked on a toy whistle . At dinner , Devlin asks Danny and Katherine to tell each other what they admire most about each other , and , as Danny and Katherine talk , they start to feel a connection . Later , when Palmer and Eddie return from their dinner date , Palmer suggests that she and Danny get married now , since a drunken Eddie told her about Danny 's plans of engagement . Danny and Katherine are both surprised by her proposition , but Danny ultimately agrees . Danny later calls Katherine regarding his confusion , but Katherine says that she will be taking a job in New York City to get a fresh start to her life . The next day , Palmer confronts Katherine about Danny 's feelings for her , which Katherine dismisses . Katherine then runs into Devlin at a bar and admits that she pretended to be married to Danny to avoid embarrassment . Devlin confesses that she is divorcing Ian because he is gay and also that he did not invent the iPod , but made his money by suing the Los Angeles Dodgers after getting hit by a foul ball . Katherine confides in Devlin about being in love with Danny , but then Danny shows up behind her , saying that he is not marrying Palmer and that he is in love with Katherine . Meanwhile , on the plane ride back to the mainland , Palmer meets a professional tennis player ( Andy Roddick ) who shares her interests . Sometime later , Danny and Katherine get married . Cast ( edit ) Adam Sandler as Dr. Daniel `` Danny '' Maccabee Jennifer Aniston as Katherine Murphy , later Maccabee / Devlin Maccabee Bailee Madison as Maggie Murphy / Kiki Dee Maccabee Griffin Gluck as Michael Murphy / Bart Maccabee Nick Swardson as Eddie Simms / Dolph Lundgren Brooklyn Decker as Palmer Dodge Nicole Kidman as Devlin Adams Dave Matthews as Ian Maxtone - Jones Rachel Dratch as Kirsten Brant Kevin Nealon as Adon Heidi Montag as Kimberly Minka Kelly as Joanna Damon Rakefet Abergel as Patricia Dan Patrick as Tanner Patrick Mario Joyner as Henderson Keegan - Michael Key as Ernesto Allen Covert as Brian ( Soul Patch ) Andy Roddick as Himself Jake Shimabukuro as ukulele player Unknown as the Kangaroo Production ( edit ) Originally titled `` Holiday in Hawaii '' , and then `` Pretend Wife '' , it was released as `` Just Go with It '' . The film was shot in Los Angeles and the Hawaiian islands of Maui and Kauai between March 2 , 2010 and May 25 , 2010 . The film is deliberately vague about which Hawaiian island its latter portion depicts ; thus , the characters hike across a rope bridge on Maui and arrive in the next scene at a spectacular waterfall on Kauai , rather than the ordinary irrigation dam and pond on Maui where the actual trail terminates . The characters stay at a Hawaiian hotel called the Waldorf Astoria . In actuality , the film was shot at the Grand Wailea in Maui , which is owned by Waldorf Astoria Hotels and Resorts . One of the film 's in - jokes is the scene wherein Decker 's character meets her obvious soulmate - professional tennis player Andy Roddick - as Decker and Roddick are actually married . Release ( edit ) The film was released in theaters in the United States and Canada on February 11 , 2011 and in Bulgaria on March 25 , 2011 . Reception ( edit ) Box office ( edit ) Just Go with It grossed $103 million in the U.S. and Canada and $111.9 million in other territories for a worldwide gross of $214.9 million . The film topped its opening weekend box office with $30.5 million . The biggest market in other territories being Russia , where it grossed $13,174,937 . Critical response ( edit ) On Rotten Tomatoes , the film received a rating of 18 % , based on 137 reviews , with an average rating of 3.8 / 10 . The site 's consensus reads : `` Just Go With It may be slightly better than some entries in the recently dire rom - com genre , but that 's far from a recommendation . '' On Metacritic , the film has a score of 33 out of 100 , based on 31 critics , indicating `` generally unfavorable reviews '' . The Telegraph named Just Go with It in its `` ten worst films of 2011 '' list , saying it is `` a crass and overpopulated remake of Cactus Flower , served up as a mangy romcom of serial deceptions . '' Christopher Orr of The Atlantic noted that `` the title itself seems a plea for audiences ' forbearance '' and is part of a disappointing trend involving `` the reimagining of good , if perhaps not quite classic , films associated with the latter 1960s and early 1970s . '' Entertainment Weekly 's Lisa Schwarzbaum wrote that Just Go With It `` is saved from utter disaster , though , by Jennifer Aniston '' who has `` expert comic timing '' and `` plays like a grown - up .

Domestic Television Distribution Release Original network ABC Original release September 17 , 1986 ( 1986 - 09 - 17 ) -- June 25 , 1991 ( 1991 - 06 - 25 ) Chronology Related shows Billy Head of the Class is an American sitcom that ran from 1986 to 1991 on the ABC television network . The series follows a group of gifted students in the Individualized Honors Program ( IHP ) at the fictional Monroe High School ( later Millard Fillmore High School ) in Manhattan , and their history teacher Charlie Moore ( Howard Hesseman ) . The program was ostensibly a vehicle for Hesseman , best known for his role as radio DJ Dr. Johnny Fever on the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati ( 1978 -- 1982 ) . Hesseman left Head of the Class in 1990 and was replaced by Scottish personality Billy Connolly ( in his first major American production ) as teacher Billy MacGregor for the final season . After the series ended , Connolly appeared in a short - lived spin - off titled Billy . The series was created and executive produced by Rich Eustis and Michael Elias . Rich Eustis had previously worked as a New York City substitute teacher while hoping to become an actor .

The IHP students comprised a diverse range of personalities , ethnicities , and academic specialties . For the first three years of the show , the IHP class had ten students . Arvid Engen ( Dan Frischman ) was a skinny , bespectacled nerd , mathematics expert and budding scientist . Arvid 's best friend was the overweight , wisecracking cynic Dennis Blunden ( Dan Schneider ) , a computer whiz whose fields were chemistry and physics and who more often than not had a knack for getting the socially - inept Arvid involved in various schemes . Alan Pinkard ( Tony O'Dell ) was an ultra-conservative preppy and egotist ; his area of expertise was political science and he was a devout fan of Ronald Reagan . Alan competed for the highest grades in the class with Darlene Merriman ( Robin Givens ) , a spoiled rich girl who was probably even more self - centered than Alan , and whose specialties were speech and debate . Both Alan and Darlene held the ambition of being named class valedictorian . Sarah Nevins ( Kimberly Russell ) did not have any one particular area of expertise ; she was the most down - to - earth of the IHP class , and was once cited as having the lowest G.P.A. Maria Borges ( Leslie Bega ) was very passionate about getting A 's ( going as far as grounding herself in the pilot episode for getting a ' B ' ) , and Jawaharlal Choudhury ( Jory Husain aka Joher Coleman ) was an exchange student from India whose expertise was natural science . Eleven - year - old Janice Lazarotto ( Tannis Vallely ) , despite her young age , was in high school and the IHP class because of her advanced intellect . Arts student Simone Foster ( Khrystyne Haje ) was a quiet , sensitive redhead with a particular fondness for poetry . A notable development in the show was the relationship between Simone and Eric Mardian ( Brian Robbins ) , an aspiring writer and , outwardly , the most unlikely member of the IHP - Eric wore black leather , drove a motorcycle , acted tough and ostensibly disliked anything academic ( to Dr. Samuels 's delight , he was the only one in the class not on the academic team , although he would never leave the IHP ) . Eric constantly hit on Simone ( on whom he had a crush ) and the two eventually had an on - again - off - again romance . There was some turnover in the cast in seasons four and five . Janice left for Harvard , Maria went to Performing Arts High School , and Jawarhalal moved to California . New students included Aristotle McKenzie ( De'voreaux White ) , described by Dennis as `` this reject from Do the Right Thing '' for his dreadlocks , Vicky Amory ( Lara Piper ) , a new - ager interested in quantum physics and skin - revealing clothing , and Alex Torres ( Michael DeLorenzo ) , who had transferred from parochial school . T.J. Jones ( Rain Pryor ) and Jasper Kwan ( Jonathan Ke Quan ) , who had appeared as potential IHP members in earlier seasons , were eventually added to the program and the cast . Appearing as regulars throughout all five seasons were school staff members Dr. Harold Samuels ( William G. Schilling ) and Bernadette Meara ( Jeannetta Arnette ) . Dr. Samuels was the blustery , overweight principal of the school . His attitude towards the IHP students was one of ambivalence : on the one hand , Dr. Samuels distrusted the kids ( and had a particularly antagonistic relationship with Dennis , and tried to avoid Eric ) , but at the same time he was proud of their achievements and valued the prestige they brought to the school . He also distrusted the teaching methods of the class 's teacher , Charlie Moore ( Howard Hesseman ) , concerned that Charlie 's methods -- which often involved helping the IHP students branch out of their comfort zones and help them deal with the typical problems of kids their age , as well as using unorthodox methods of teaching the class subject at hand -- might distract them too much from their studies . Ms. Meara was the level - headed assistant principal . There was some romantic tension between her and Charlie , although this ultimately came to nothing , and later had a romantic ' friendship ' with Billy . In the series , the students often faced off against the rival Bronx High School of Science . Also , in every season , the IHP students produced the school musical . Musicals staged by the students included Grease , Little Shop of Horrors , and Hair . A number of someday - famous actors made appearances on the show , including Brad Pitt .

Although they are gifted academically , the IHP students had plenty of problems in their personal lives , and Mr. Moore not only is there to listen , he shows an unswerving ability to get the students to solve their own problems while making it seem like they came up with the answers on their own . By Episode 6 ( `` Teacher 's Teacher '' ) , the class 's original teacher Mr. Thomas ( Roscoe Lee Browne ) had returned to Monroe High , announcing his return to the IHP class once Mr. Moore 's tenure ended . After observing Mr. Moore 's unorthodox teaching methods for most of the episode ( much to Charlie 's chagrin , as it also made apparent how much he would miss the IHP students ) , Mr. Thomas ultimately decides to retire from teaching , allowing Mr. Moore to become their full - time teacher . Throughout the first season , Mr. Moore attempted to get the class involved in more than just their studies , encouraging them to play volleyball and make a music video for the school 's time capsule ( this marks the first foray into the fondness of Head of the Class for musical production numbers ) . At the same time , the class brought Mr. Moore into the present , acclimating him to the importance of personal computers . Near the end of the season , the IHP faces their Russian counterparts in an academic tournament , foreshadowing their famous trip to Moscow in season three . Season two ( 1987 -- 1988 ) ( edit ) Season two began involving the IHP in the school as a whole , with Mr. Moore involving the class in the school literary journal and encouraging a lampoon of the school newspaper . Season three ( 1988 -- 1989 ) ( edit ) `` Mission to Moscow '' ( edit ) In 1988 , Head of the Class broke new ground as it became the first American sitcom to be filmed in the Soviet Union and was entirely filmed in Moscow . The IHP is invited to come to the country for a rematch of the academic meet that happened in season one , which ended in a tie . The class has a lot of experiences while in Moscow : Dennis and Arvid take an interest in two beautiful women , until they realize they might be KGB spies ; Eric meets up with his relatives in what is a very positive experience for him ; capitalist Alan has an argument with a die - hard socialist in a store ( who is also on the opposing Russian academic team ) ; Sarah and Darlene decide to record the sights and sounds of Moscow ; Simone goes to put flowers on a poet 's grave and meets up with a charming Russian musician ; Dr. Samuels believes that his hotel room is bugged , but ends up making a fool of himself ; and Charlie has a brief romance with a schoolteacher . The IHP eventually wins the meet and the respect of the Russian team . The episode concludes with both teams attending a concert in Gorky Park swaying to the song `` Far Away Lands '' ( written and performed by American David Pomeranz and Russian rock star Sasha Malinin ) . Season four ( 1989 -- 1990 ) ( edit ) The fourth season saw some significant changes to the cast of characters -- Maria , Jawaharlal and Janice left ( Maria went to a performing arts school , Jawarhalal moved to California , and Janice went to college ) . Several new characters took their place : Alex Torres ( Michael DeLorenzo ) was a Hispanic athletics student , somewhat stereotypically portrayed as having an eye for the ladies . Although Alex seemed attracted to Darlene particularly , both he and Eric competed for the affections of another new IHP student , the blonde hippie Viki Amory ( Lara Piper ) . Another new character was aspiring filmmaker Aristotle McKenzie ( De'voreaux White ) . T.J. Jones ( Rain Pryor ) , a recurring character since the third season , joined the IHP in the fourth season ( a remedial student with a streetwise attitude , T.J. was found to be smart enough to join the IHP ) . The students ' final year of high school was split over seasons four and five . Howard Hesseman left the show after the fourth season . Season five ( 1990 -- 1991 ) ( edit ) In the first episode of season five , Scottish teacher Billy MacGregor ( Billy Connolly ) arrived to replace the departed Charlie Moore ( in the first episode of the season , it is explained to the dismayed IHP students that Mr. Moore 's acting career finally took off ) . Despite initial uncertainty and some hostility from the students , Billy proved to be a successful replacement for Charlie . He insisted that the students refer to him by his first name , and although he was more rousing and less laid - back than his predecessor , he proved to be just as wise and caring ( Billy also had a habit of boisterously greeting his class every morning with the phrase , `` good morning , geniuses '' , and facetiously barking to his students to , `` get out of here '' , when the bell rang at the end of the class . He also taught his class in a manner more akin to a stand - up comedian than a teacher ) . Many episodes from this season focused on Billy having to adapt to living in America , and his attempts to romance Ms. Meara . Other aspects of Billy were his dislike of an outdated French textbook , which actually prompted one student to take a spur - of - the - moment jaunt to Paris , and his encouragement to the male students that the best way to get girls was to be themselves . Also , the character of Jasper Quong ( Jonathan Ke Quan ) was added to the IHP class . The season ( and the program itself ) concluded with the IHP students graduating from high school . Janice Lazarotto ( from seasons one -- three ) returned for a guest appearance in the finale , in which T.J. is named class valedictorian and the school is closed down and demolished .

Spin - off ( edit ) A year after Head of the Class left the air , Billy Connolly reprised the role of Billy MacGregor for a short - lived spin - off series , Billy . Home video and syndication ( edit ) Head of the Class has never been released on DVD . No official reason has been forthcoming from Warner Home Video , although the show had multiple musical episodes , and licensing music rights for home video is often a sticking point for many series , including WKRP in Cincinnati , which also featured Hesseman . The show also seems to appear infrequently in syndicated reruns , airing on local stations and then briefly on TBS during the 1990s , and on Nick at Nite in the early 2000s . Antenna TV began airing it in January 2018 . International broadcasts ( edit ) In Canada , the series was simulcast on the Global Television Network throughout its original run . In Australia , the series aired on the Nine Network . In the UK the show aired on BBC Two and in Ireland on RTÉ One . In Indonesia , it was aired by RCTI . In Italy the series arrived in 1989 and first season was aired by Telemontecarlo . Then it was aired by Italia 1 , from 1992 to 1993 .

Free Trade Area of the Americas

Free trade Area of the Americas - Wikipedia Free trade Area of the Americas Jump to : navigation , search The Free Trade Area of the Americas logo The Free Trade Area of the Americas ( FTAA ; Spanish : Área de Libre Comercio de las Américas , ALCA ; French : Zone de libre - échange des Amériques , ZLÉA ; Portuguese : Área de Livre Comércio das Américas , ALCA ; Dutch : Vrijhandelszone van Amerika ) was a proposed agreement to eliminate or reduce the trade barriers among all countries in the Americas , excluding Cuba . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Beginning 1.2 Disagreements 1.3 Current status 2 Membership 3 Support and opposition 4 Agreements 4.1 Previous agreements 4.2 Current agreements 4.3 Proposed agreements 5 Security pacts 6 See also 7 References 8 External links History ( edit ) In the latest round of negotiations , trade ministers from 34 countries met in Miami , Florida , in the United States , in November 2003 to discuss the proposal . The proposed agreement was an extension of the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ) between Canada , Mexico , and the United States . Opposing the proposal were Cuba , Venezuela , Bolivia , Ecuador , Dominica , and Nicaragua ( all of which entered the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas in response ) , and Mercosur member states . Discussions have faltered over similar points as the Doha Development Round of World Trade Organization ( WTO ) talks ; developed nations seek expanded trade in services and increased intellectual property rights , while less developed nations seek an end to agricultural subsidies and free trade in agricultural goods . Similar to the WTO talks , Brazil has taken a leadership role among the less developed nations , while the United States has taken a similar role for the developed nations . Beginning ( edit ) Free Trade Area of the Americas began with the Summit of the Americas in Miami , Florida , on December 11 , 1994 , but the FTAA came to public attention during the Quebec City Summit of the Americas , held in Canada in 2001 , a meeting targeted by massive anti-corporatization and anti-globalization protests . The Miami negotiations in 2003 met similar protests , though perhaps not as large . Disagreements ( edit ) In previous negotiations , the United States had pushed for a single comprehensive agreement to reduce trade barriers for goods , while increasing intellectual property protection . Specific intellectual property protections could include Digital Millennium Copyright Act - style copyright protections similar to the U.S. - Australia Free Trade Agreement . Another protection would likely restrict the reimportation or cross-importation of pharmaceuticals , similar to the proposed agreement between the United States and Canada . Brazil proposed a three - track approach that calls for a series of bilateral agreements to reduce specific tariffs on goods , a hemispheric pact on rules of origin , and a dispute resolution process ; Brazil proposed to omit the more controversial issues from the FTAA , leaving them to the WTO . The location of the FTAA Secretariat was to have been determined in 2005 . The contending cities are : Atlanta , Chicago , Galveston , Houston , San Juan , and Miami in the United States ; Cancún and Puebla in Mexico ; Panama City , Panama ; and Port of Spain , Trinidad and Tobago . The U.S. city of Colorado Springs also submitted its candidacy in the early days but subsequently withdrew . Miami , Panama City and Puebla served successively as interim secretariat headquarters during the negotiation process . The last summit was held at Mar del Plata , Argentina , in November 2005 , but no agreement on FTAA was reached . Of the 34 countries present at the negotiations , 26 pledged to meet again in 2006 to resume negotiations , but no such meeting took place . The failure of the Mar del Plata summit to establish a comprehensive FTAA agenda augured poorly . Current status ( edit ) This article needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( July 2016 ) The FTAA missed the targeted deadline of 2005 , which followed the stalling of useful negotiations of the World Trade Organization Ministerial Conference of 2005 . Over the next few years , some governments , most notably the United States , not wanting to lose any chance of hemispheric trade expansion moved in the direction of establishing a series of bilateral trade deals . The leaders however , planned further discussions at the Sixth Summit of the Americas in Cartagena , Colombia , in 2012 . Membership ( edit ) The following countries are in the plans of the Free Trade Area of the Americas : Antigua and Barbuda Argentina Bahamas Barbados Belize Bolivia Brazil Canada Chile Colombia Costa Rica Dominica Dominican Republic Ecuador El Salvador Grenada Guatemala Guyana Haiti Honduras Jamaica Mexico Nicaragua Panama Paraguay Peru Saint Kitts and Nevis Saint Lucia Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Suriname Trinidad and Tobago United States Uruguay Venezuela Support and opposition ( edit ) A vocal critic of the FTAA was Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez , who has described it as an `` annexation plan '' and a `` tool of imperialism '' for the exploitation of Latin America . As a counterproposal to this initiative , Chávez promoted the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas ( Alianza Bolivariana para las Américas , ALBA ) , based mostly on the model of the Eurasian Economic Community , which emphasizes energy and infrastructure agreements that are gradually extended to other areas finally to include the total economic , political and military integration of the member states . Evo Morales of Bolivia has referred to the U.S. - backed Free Trade Area of the Americas , as `` an agreement to legalize the colonization of the Americas '' . On the other hand , the then presidents of Brazil , Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva , and Argentina , Néstor Kirchner , have stated that they do not oppose the FTAA but they do demand that the agreement provide for the elimination of U.S. agriculture subsidies , the provision of effective access to foreign markets and further consideration towards the needs and sensibilities of its members . One of the most contentious issues of the treaty proposed by the United States is with concerns to patents and copyrights . Critics claim that if the measures proposed by the United States were implemented and applied this would reduce scientific research in Latin America . On the left - wing Council of Canadians web site , Barlow wrote : `` This agreement sets enforceable global rules on patents , copyrights and trademark . It has gone far beyond its initial scope of protecting original inventions or cultural products and now permits the practice of patenting plants and animal forms as well as seeds . It promotes the private rights of corporations over local communities and their genetic heritage and traditional medicines '' . On the weekend of April 20 , 2001 , the 3rd Summit of the Americas was a summit held in Quebec City , Canada . This international meeting was a round of negotiations regarding a proposed FTAA . Agreements ( edit ) There are currently 34 countries in the Western Hemisphere , stretching from Canada to Chile that still have the FTAA as a long term goal . The Implementation of a full multilateral FTAA between all parties could be made possible by enlargement of existing agreements . North America , with the exception of Cuba and Haiti ( which has participated in economic integration with the Caricom since 2002 ) has come close to setting up a subcontinental free trade area . At this point Agreements within the Area of the Americas include : Previous agreements ( edit ) Canada : Canada -- United States Free Trade Agreement ( 1988 ; superseded by the NAFTA ) Costa Rica - Dominican Republic ( superseded by DR - CAFTA ) Costa Rica - Trinidad and Tobago ( superseded by a Costa Rica - CARICOM FTA ) .

Atomic theory

Atomic theory - wikipedia Atomic theory Jump to : navigation , search `` Atomic model '' redirects here . For the unrelated term in mathematical logic , see Atomic model ( mathematical logic ) . This article is about the historical models of the atom . For a history of the study of how atoms combine to form molecules , see History of molecular theory . The current theoretical model of the atom involves a dense nucleus surrounded by a probabilistic `` cloud '' of electrons In chemistry and physics , atomic theory is a scientific theory of the nature of matter , which states that matter is composed of discrete units called atoms . It began as a philosophical concept in ancient Greece and entered the scientific mainstream in the early 19th century when discoveries in the field of chemistry showed that matter did indeed behave as if it were made up of atoms . The word atom comes from the Ancient Greek adjective atomos , meaning `` indivisible '' . 19th century chemists began using the term in connection with the growing number of irreducible chemical elements . While seemingly apropos , around the turn of the 20th century , through various experiments with electromagnetism and radioactivity , physicists discovered that the so - called `` uncuttable atom '' was actually a conglomerate of various subatomic particles ( chiefly , electrons , protons and neutrons ) which can exist separately from each other . In fact , in certain extreme environments , such as neutron stars , extreme temperature and pressure prevents atoms from existing at all . Since atoms were found to be divisible , physicists later invented the term `` elementary particles '' to describe the `` uncuttable '' , though not indestructible , parts of an atom . The field of science which studies subatomic particles is particle physics , and it is in this field that physicists hope to discover the true fundamental nature of matter .

The word `` atom '' was coined by the ancient Greek philosophers Leucippus and his pupil Democritus . However , these ideas were founded in philosophical and theological reasoning rather than evidence and experimentation . Because of this , they could not convince everybody , so atomism was but one of a number of competing theories on the nature of matter . It was not until the 19th century that the idea was embraced and refined by scientists , as the blossoming science of chemistry produced discoveries that could easily be explained using the concept of atoms . John Dalton Near the end of the 18th century , two laws about chemical reactions emerged without referring to the notion of an atomic theory . The first was the law of conservation of mass , formulated by Antoine Lavoisier in 1789 , which states that the total mass in a chemical reaction remains constant ( that is , the reactants have the same mass as the products ) . The second was the law of definite proportions . First proven by the French chemist Joseph Louis Proust in 1799 , this law states that if a compound is broken down into its constituent elements , then the masses of the constituents will always have the same proportions , regardless of the quantity or source of the original substance . John Dalton studied and expanded upon this previous work and developed the law of multiple proportions : if two elements can be combined to form a number of possible compounds , then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers . For example : Proust had studied tin oxides and found that their masses were either 88.1 % tin and 11.9 % oxygen or 78.7 % tin and 21.3 % oxygen ( these were tin ( II ) oxide and tin dioxide respectively ) . Dalton noted from these percentages that 100g of tin will combine either with 13.5 g or 27g of oxygen ; 13.5 and 27 form a ratio of 1 : 2 . Dalton found that an atomic theory of matter could elegantly explain this common pattern in chemistry . In the case of Proust 's tin oxides , one tin atom will combine with either one or two oxygen atoms . Dalton believed atomic theory could explain why water absorbed different gases in different proportions - for example , he found that water absorbed carbon dioxide far better than it absorbed nitrogen . Dalton hypothesized this was due to the differences in mass and complexity of the gases ' respective particles . Indeed , carbon dioxide molecules ( CO ) are heavier and larger than nitrogen molecules ( N ) . Dalton proposed that each chemical element is composed of atoms of a single , unique type , and though they can not be altered or destroyed by chemical means , they can combine to form more complex structures ( chemical compounds ) . This marked the first truly scientific theory of the atom , since Dalton reached his conclusions by experimentation and examination of the results in an empirical fashion . Various atoms and molecules as depicted in John Dalton 's A New System of Chemical Philosophy ( 1808 ) . In 1803 Dalton orally presented his first list of relative atomic weights for a number of substances . This paper was published in 1805 , but he did not discuss there exactly how he obtained these figures . The method was first revealed in 1807 by his acquaintance Thomas Thomson , in the third edition of Thomson 's textbook , A System of Chemistry . Finally , Dalton published a full account in his own textbook , A New System of Chemical Philosophy , 1808 and 1810 . Dalton estimated the atomic weights according to the mass ratios in which they combined , with the hydrogen atom taken as unity . However , Dalton did not conceive that with some elements atoms exist in molecules -- e.g. pure oxygen exists as O. He also mistakenly believed that the simplest compound between any two elements is always one atom of each ( so he thought water was HO , not H O ) . This , in addition to the crudity of his equipment , flawed his results . For instance , in 1803 he believed that oxygen atoms were 5.5 times heavier than hydrogen atoms , because in water he measured 5.5 grams of oxygen for every 1 gram of hydrogen and believed the formula for water was HO . Adopting better data , in 1806 he concluded that the atomic weight of oxygen must actually be 7 rather than 5.5 , and he retained this weight for the rest of his life . Others at this time had already concluded that the oxygen atom must weigh 8 relative to hydrogen equals 1 , if one assumes Dalton 's formula for the water molecule ( HO ) , or 16 if one assumes the modern water formula ( H O ) . Avogadro The flaw in Dalton 's theory was corrected in principle in 1811 by Amedeo Avogadro . Avogadro had proposed that equal volumes of any two gases , at equal temperature and pressure , contain equal numbers of molecules ( in other words , the mass of a gas 's particles does not affect the volume that it occupies ) . Avogadro 's law allowed him to deduce the diatomic nature of numerous gases by studying the volumes at which they reacted . For instance : since two liters of hydrogen will react with just one liter of oxygen to produce two liters of water vapor ( at constant pressure and temperature ) , it meant a single oxygen molecule splits in two in order to form two particles of water . Thus , Avogadro was able to offer more accurate estimates of the atomic mass of oxygen and various other elements , and made a clear distinction between molecules and atoms . Brownian motion In 1827 , the British botanist Robert Brown observed that dust particles inside pollen grains floating in water constantly jiggled about for no apparent reason . In 1905 , Albert Einstein theorized that this Brownian motion was caused by the water molecules continuously knocking the grains about , and developed a hypothetical mathematical model to describe it . This model was validated experimentally in 1908 by French physicist Jean Perrin , thus providing additional validation for particle theory ( and by extension atomic theory ) . Discovery of subatomic particles Main articles : Electron and Plum pudding model The cathode rays ( blue ) were emitted from the cathode , sharpened to a beam by the slits , then deflected as they passed between the two electrified plates . Atoms were thought to be the smallest possible division of matter until 1897 when J.J. Thomson discovered the electron through his work on cathode rays . A Crookes tube is a sealed glass container in which two electrodes are separated by a vacuum . When a voltage is applied across the electrodes , cathode rays are generated , creating a glowing patch where they strike the glass at the opposite end of the tube . Through experimentation , Thomson discovered that the rays could be deflected by an electric field ( in addition to magnetic fields , which was already known ) . He concluded that these rays , rather than being a form of light , were composed of very light negatively charged particles he called `` corpuscles '' ( they would later be renamed electrons by other scientists ) . He measured the mass - to - charge ratio and discovered it was 1800 times smaller than that of hydrogen , the smallest atom . These corpuscles were a particle unlike any other previously known . Thomson suggested that atoms were divisible , and that the corpuscles were their building blocks . To explain the overall neutral charge of the atom , he proposed that the corpuscles were distributed in a uniform sea of positive charge ; this was the plum pudding model as the electrons were embedded in the positive charge like plums in a plum pudding ( although in Thomson 's model they were not stationary ) . Discovery of the nucleus Main article : Rutherford model The Geiger - Marsden experiment Left : Expected results : alpha particles passing through the plum pudding model of the atom with negligible deflection . Right : Observed results : a small portion of the particles were deflected by the concentrated positive charge of the nucleus . Thomson 's plum pudding model was disproved in 1909 by one of his former students , Ernest Rutherford , who discovered that most of the mass and positive charge of an atom is concentrated in a very small fraction of its volume , which he assumed to be at the very center . In the Geiger -- Marsden experiment , Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden ( colleagues of Rutherford working at his behest ) shot alpha particles at thin sheets of metal and measured their deflection through the use of a fluorescent screen . Given the very small mass of the electrons , the high momentum of the alpha particles , and the low concentration of the positive charge of the plum pudding model , the experimenters expected all the alpha particles to pass through the metal foil without significant deflection . To their astonishment , a small fraction of the alpha particles experienced heavy deflection . Rutherford concluded that the positive charge of the atom must be concentrated in a very tiny volume to produce an electric field sufficiently intense to deflect the alpha particles so strongly . This led Rutherford to propose a planetary model in which a cloud of electrons surrounded a small , compact nucleus of positive charge . Only such a concentration of charge could produce the electric field strong enough to cause the heavy deflection . First steps toward a quantum physical model of the atom Main article : Bohr model The planetary model of the atom had two significant shortcomings . The first is that , unlike planets orbiting a sun , electrons are charged particles . An accelerating electric charge is known to emit electromagnetic waves according to the Larmor formula in classical electromagnetism . An orbiting charge should steadily lose energy and spiral toward the nucleus , colliding with it in a small fraction of a second . The second problem was that the planetary model could not explain the highly peaked emission and absorption spectra of atoms that were observed . The Bohr model of the atom Quantum theory revolutionized physics at the beginning of the 20th century , when Max Planck and Albert Einstein postulated that light energy is emitted or absorbed in discrete amounts known as quanta ( singular , quantum ) . In 1913 , Niels Bohr incorporated this idea into his Bohr model of the atom , in which an electron could only orbit the nucleus in particular circular orbits with fixed angular momentum and energy , its distance from the nucleus ( i.e. , their radii ) being proportional to its energy . Under this model an electron could not spiral into the nucleus because it could not lose energy in a continuous manner ; instead , it could only make instantaneous `` quantum leaps '' between the fixed energy levels . When this occurred , light was emitted or absorbed at a frequency proportional to the change in energy ( hence the absorption and emission of light in discrete spectra ) . Bohr 's model was not perfect . It could only predict the spectral lines of hydrogen ; it could n't predict those of multielectron atoms . Worse still , as spectrographic technology improved , additional spectral lines in hydrogen were observed which Bohr 's model could n't explain . In 1916 , Arnold Sommerfeld added elliptical orbits to the Bohr model to explain the extra emission lines , but this made the model very difficult to use , and it still could n't explain more complex atoms . Discovery of isotopes Main article : Isotope While experimenting with the products of radioactive decay , in 1913 radiochemist Frederick Soddy discovered that there appeared to be more than one element at each position on the periodic table . The term isotope was coined by Margaret Todd as a suitable name for these elements . That same year , J.J. Thomson conducted an experiment in which he channeled a stream of neon ions through magnetic and electric fields , striking a photographic plate at the other end . He observed two glowing patches on the plate , which suggested two different deflection trajectories . Thomson concluded this was because some of the neon ions had a different mass . The nature of this differing mass would later be explained by the discovery of neutrons in 1932 . Discovery of nuclear particles Main articles : Atomic nucleus and Discovery of the neutron In 1917 Rutherford bombarded nitrogen gas with alpha particles and observed hydrogen nuclei being emitted from the gas ( Rutherford recognized these , because he had previously obtained them bombarding hydrogen with alpha particles , and observing hydrogen nuclei in the products ) . Rutherford concluded that the hydrogen nuclei emerged from the nuclei of the nitrogen atoms themselves ( in effect , he had split a nitrogen ) . From his own work and the work of his students Bohr and Henry Moseley , Rutherford knew that the positive charge of any atom could always be equated to that of an integer number of hydrogen nuclei . This , coupled with the atomic mass of many elements being roughly equivalent to an integer number of hydrogen atoms - then assumed to be the lightest particles - led him to conclude that hydrogen nuclei were singular particles and a basic constituent of all atomic nuclei . He named such particles protons . Further experimentation by Rutherford found that the nuclear mass of most atoms exceeded that of the protons it possessed ; he speculated that this surplus mass was composed of previously - unknown neutrally charged particles , which were tentatively dubbed `` neutrons '' . In 1928 , Walter Bothe observed that beryllium emitted a highly penetrating , electrically neutral radiation when bombarded with alpha particles . It was later discovered that this radiation could knock hydrogen atoms out of paraffin wax . Initially it was thought to be high - energy gamma radiation , since gamma radiation had a similar effect on electrons in metals , but James Chadwick found that the ionization effect was too strong for it to be due to electromagnetic radiation , so long as energy and momentum were conserved in the interaction . In 1932 , Chadwick exposed various elements , such as hydrogen and nitrogen , to the mysterious `` beryllium radiation '' , and by measuring the energies of the recoiling charged particles , he deduced that the radiation was actually composed of electrically neutral particles which could not be massless like the gamma ray , but instead were required to have a mass similar to that of a proton . Chadwick now claimed these particles as Rutherford 's neutrons . For his discovery of the neutron , Chadwick received the Nobel Prize in 1935 . Quantum physical models of the atom Main article : Atomic orbital The five filled atomic orbitals of a neon atom separated and arranged in order of increasing energy from left to right , with the last three orbitals being equal in energy . Each orbital holds up to two electrons , which most probably exist in the zones represented by the colored bubbles . Each electron is equally present in both orbital zones , shown here by color only to highlight the different wave phase . In 1924 , Louis de Broglie proposed that all moving particles -- particularly subatomic particles such as electrons -- exhibit a degree of wave - like behavior . Erwin Schrödinger , fascinated by this idea , explored whether or not the movement of an electron in an atom could be better explained as a wave rather than as a particle . Schrödinger 's equation , published in 1926 , describes an electron as a wavefunction instead of as a point particle . This approach elegantly predicted many of the spectral phenomena that Bohr 's model failed to explain . Although this concept was mathematically convenient , it was difficult to visualize , and faced opposition . One of its critics , Max Born , proposed instead that Schrödinger 's wavefunction described not the electron but rather all its possible states , and thus could be used to calculate the probability of finding an electron at any given location around the nucleus . This reconciled the two opposing theories of particle versus wave electrons and the idea of wave -- particle duality was introduced . This theory stated that the electron may exhibit the properties of both a wave and a particle . For example , it can be refracted like a wave , and has mass like a particle . A consequence of describing electrons as waveforms is that it is mathematically impossible to simultaneously derive the position and momentum of an electron . This became known as the Heisenberg uncertainty principle after the theoretical physicist Werner Heisenberg , who first described it and published it in 1927 . This invalidated Bohr 's model , with its neat , clearly defined circular orbits . The modern model of the atom describes the positions of electrons in an atom in terms of probabilities . An electron can potentially be found at any distance from the nucleus , but , depending on its energy level , exists more frequently in certain regions around the nucleus than others ; this pattern is referred to as its atomic orbital . The orbitals come in a variety of shapes - sphere , dumbbell , torus , etc. - with the nucleus in the middle .

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( October 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The area ceded to the United States by Great Britain in 1783 ( light brown ) is usually recognized as the Eastern United States . Louisiana and Florida acquisitions were recognized as the Western and Southern frontiers in the early days of the Republic . Although east of the Rockies , Texas is considered a Western state . Play media This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 29 on board the ISS . The pass goes over the eastern United States . The Eastern United States , commonly referred to as the American East or simply the East , is a region roughly coinciding with the boundaries of the United States established in the 1783 Treaty of Paris , which bounded the new country to the west along the Mississippi River . It is geographically diverse , spanning the Northeast and Southeast as well as the eastern part of the Central United States . In 2011 the 26 states east of the Mississippi ( in addition to Washington , D.C. but not including the small portions of Louisiana and Minnesota east of the river ) had an estimated population of 179,948,346 or 58.28 % of the total U.S. population of 308,745,358 ( excluding Puerto Rico ) . Contents ( hide ) 1 Southern United States 2 New England 3 The Midwest 4 Major population centers 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Southern United States ( edit ) Main article : Southern United States The Southern United States constitutes a large region in the south - eastern and south - central United States , usually enumerated as the following : Kentucky , Tennessee , Virginia , West Virginia , Maryland , North Carolina , South Carolina , Georgia , Florida , Alabama , Mississippi , Arkansas , and Louisiana ; all of these are also considered to number among the Eastern United States . Its unique cultural and historic heritage includes the following aspects : Native Americans early European settlements of English , Scots - Irish , Scottish and German heritage importation of hundreds of thousands of enslaved Africans growth of a large proportion of African Americans in the population reliance on slave labor legacy of the Confederacy after the American Civil War . These led to `` the South '' developing distinctive customs , literature , musical styles , and varied cuisines , that have profoundly shaped traditional American culture . Many aspects of the South 's culture remain deeply rooted in the American Civil War . In the last few decades , the Southern US has been attracting domestic and international migrants , and the American South is among the fastest - growing areas in the United States . New England ( edit ) Main article : New England New England is a region of the United States located in the northeastern corner of the country , bounded by the Atlantic Ocean , Canada and the state of New York , consisting of the modern states of Maine , New Hampshire , Vermont , Massachusetts , Rhode Island , and Connecticut . In one of the earliest English settlements in the New World , English Pilgrims from Europe first settled in New England in 1620 , in the colony of Plymouth . In the late 18th century , the New England colonies would be among the first North American British colonies to demonstrate ambitions of independence from the British Crown , although they would later threaten secession over the War of 1812 between the United States and Britain . New England produced the first examples of American literature and philosophy and was home to the beginnings of free public education . In the 19th century , it played a prominent role in the movement to abolish slavery in the United States . It was the first region of the United States to be transformed by the Industrial Revolution . Historically an area in which parts were strongly Republican , it is now a region with one of the highest levels of support for the Democratic Party in the United States , with the majority of voters in every state voting for the Democrats in the 1992 , 1996 , 2004 , 2008 , 2012 and 2016 Presidential elections , and every state but New Hampshire voting for Al Gore in 2000 . The Midwest ( edit ) Main article : Midwestern United States The Midwestern United States ( in the U.S. generally referred to as the Midwest ) is one of the four geographic regions within the United States that are recognized by the United States Census Bureau . Seven states in the central and inland northeastern US , traditionally considered to be part of the Midwest , can also be classified as being part of the Eastern United States : Illinois , Indiana , Iowa , Michigan , Minnesota , Ohio , and Wisconsin . A 2006 Census Bureau estimate put the population at 66,217,736 . The United States Census Bureau divides this region into the East North Central States ( essentially the Great Lakes States ) and the West North Central States . Chicago is the largest city in the region , followed by Indianapolis and Columbus . Chicago has the largest metropolitan statistical area , followed by Detroit , and Minneapolis -- Saint Paul . Sault Ste . Marie , Michigan is the oldest city in the region , having been founded by French missionaries and explorers in 1668 . The term Midwest has been in common use for over 100 years . Another term sometimes applied to the same general region is `` the heartland '' . Other designations for the region have fallen into disuse , such as the `` Northwest '' or `` Old Northwest '' ( from `` Northwest Territory '' ) and `` Mid-America '' . Since the book Middletown appeared in 1929 , sociologists have often used Midwestern cities ( and the Midwest generally ) as `` typical '' of the entire nation . 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 . Four of the states associated with the Midwestern United States ( Kansas , Nebraska , North Dakota , and South Dakota ) are also traditionally referred to as belonging in part to the Great Plains region . Major population centers ( edit ) The following is a list of the 24 largest cities in the East by population : New York City population : 8,175,133 Chicago population : 2,695,598 Philadelphia population : 1,526,006 Jacksonville population : 821,784 Indianapolis population : 820,445 Columbus population : 787,033 Charlotte population : 731,424 Detroit population : 713,777 Memphis population : 646,889 Baltimore population : 620,961 Boston population : 617,594 Washington , D.C. population : 601,723 Nashville population : 601,222 Louisville , Kentucky population : 597,337 Milwaukee population : 594,833 Virginia Beach , Virginia population : 437,994 Atlanta population : 420,003 Raleigh population : 403,892 Miami population : 399,457 Cleveland population : 396,815 Tampa population : 335,709 Pittsburgh population : 305,704 Cincinnati population : 296,943 Lexington , Kentucky population : 295,803 See also ( edit ) East Coast of the United States Eastern Canada Territories of the United States on stamps References ( edit ) External links ( edit ) Wikimedia Commons has media related to Eastern United States .

Gertrude Bell

Gertrude Bell - wikipedia Gertrude Bell Gertrude Bell Gertrude Bell in 1909 , visiting archaeological excavations in Babylon Gertrude Margaret Lowthian Bell ( 1868 - 07 - 14 ) 14 July 1868 Washington Hall , County Durham , England 12 July 1926 ( 1926 - 07 - 12 ) ( aged 57 ) Baghdad , Mandatory Iraq Nationality British Education Lady Margaret Hall , Oxford Occupation Traveller , political officer Era Victorian , Edwardian -- 1900s Known for Writer , traveller , political officer , archaeologist , explorer , cartographer in Greater Syria , Mesopotamia , Asia Minor , and Arabia Parent ( s ) Sir Hugh Bell Mary Bell ( née Shield ) Gertrude Margaret Lowthian Bell , CBE ( 14 July 1868 -- 12 July 1926 ) was an English writer , traveller , political officer , administrator , and archaeologist who explored , mapped , and became highly influential to British imperial policy - making due to her knowledge and contacts , built up through extensive travels in Greater Syria , Mesopotamia , Asia Minor , and Arabia . Along with T.E. Lawrence , Bell helped support the Hashemite dynasties in what is today Jordan as well as in Iraq . She played a major role in establishing and helping administer the modern state of Iraq , utilizing her unique perspective from her travels and relations with tribal leaders throughout the Middle East . During her lifetime she was highly esteemed and trusted by British officials and exerted an immense amount of power . She has been described as `` one of the few representatives of His Majesty 's Government remembered by the Arabs with anything resembling affection '' .

Her personality was characterised by energy , intellect , and a thirst for adventure which shaped her path in life . Her grandfather was the ironmaster Sir Isaac Lowthian Bell , an industrialist and a Liberal Member of Parliament , in Benjamin Disraeli 's second term . His role in British policy - making exposed Gertrude at a young age to international matters and most likely encouraged her curiosity for the world , and her later involvement in international politics . Bell 's mother , Mary Shield Bell , died in 1871 while giving birth to a son , Maurice ( later the 3rd Baronet ) . Gertrude Bell was just three at the time , and the death led to a lifelong close relationship with her father , Sir Hugh Bell , 2nd Baronet , a progressive capitalist and mill owner who made sure his workers were well paid and cared for . Throughout her life , Gertrude consulted on political matters with her father , who had also served for many years in various governmental positions . Some biographies suggest that the loss of her mother caused underlying childhood trauma , revealed through periods of depression and risky behaviour . But when Gertrude was seven years old her father remarried , providing her a stepmother , Florence Bell ( née Olliffe ) , and eventually , three half - siblings . Florence Bell was a playwright and author of children 's stories , as well as the author of a study of Bell factory workers . She instilled concepts of duty and decorum in Gertrude and contributed to her intellectual development . Florence Bell 's activities with the wives of Bolckow Vaughan ironworkers in Eston , near Middlesbrough , may have helped influence her step - daughter 's later stance promoting education of Iraqi women . Gertrude Bell received her early education from Queen 's College in London and then later at Lady Margaret Hall , Oxford University , at the age of 17 . History was one of the few subjects women were allowed to study , due to the many restrictions imposed on them at the time . She specialised in modern history , and it was said that she was first woman to graduate from Modern History at Oxford with a first class honours degree , a feat she achieved in only two years . Actually eleven people graduated that year . Nine were recorded because they were men but the other two were Bell and Alice Greenwood . `` The history lecturer at Queens Collage at that time was Mr. Gramb , a distinguished and inspiring teacher . Gertrude 's intelligence and aptitude for history impressed him keenly , and he strongly urged us to let her go to Oxford and go on for the History School. The time had not yet come when it was a usual part of a girl 's education to go to a University , and it was with some qualms that we consented . But the result justified our decision . Gertrude went to Lady Margaret Hall , in 1886 just before she was eighteen , she left it in June 1888 just before she was twenty , and wound up , after those two years , by taking a brilliant First Class in Modern History '' . Bell never married or had children . She befriended British colonial administrator Sir Frank Swettenham on a visit to Singapore with her brother Hugo in 1903 and maintained a correspondence with him until 1909 . She had a `` brief but passionate affair '' with Swettenham following his retirement to England in 1904 . She also had an unconsummated affair with Maj . Charles Doughty - Wylie , a married man , with whom she exchanged love letters from 1913 to 1915 . After his death in 1915 during the Gallipoli Campaign , Bell launched herself into her work . Travels and writings ( edit ) Bell 's uncle , Sir Frank Lascelles , was British minister ( similar to ambassador ) at Tehran , Persia . In May 1892 , after leaving Oxford , Bell travelled to Persia to visit him . She described this journey in her book , Persian Pictures , which was published in 1894 . She spent much of the next decade travelling around the world , mountaineering in Switzerland , and developing a passion for archaeology and languages . She had become fluent in Arabic , Persian , French and German as well as also speaking Italian and Turkish . In 1899 , Bell again went to the Middle East . She visited Palestine and Syria that year and in 1900 , on a trip from Jerusalem to Damascus , she became acquainted with the Druze living in Jabal al - Druze . She travelled across Arabia six times during the next 12 years . Between 1899 and 1904 , she conquered a number of mountains including the La Meije and Mont Blanc as she recorded 10 new paths or first ascents in the Bernese Alps . One Alpine peak in the Bernese Oberland , the 2,632 m ( 8,635 ft ) Gertrudspitze , was named after her after it was first traversed by her and her guides Ulrich and Heinrich Fuhrer in 1901 . However , she did fail in an attempt of the Finsteraarhorn in August 1902 when inclement weather including snow , hail and lightning forced her to spend `` forty eight hours on the rope '' with her guides , clinging to the rock face in terrifying conditions which nearly cost her her life . Bell 's workers at the Binbirkilise excavations in 1907 She published her observations of the Middle East in the book Syria : The Desert and the Sown published in 1907 ( William Heinemann Ltd , London ) . In this book she described , photographed and detailed her trip to Greater Syria 's towns and cities like Damascus , Jerusalem , Beirut , Antioch and Alexandretta . Bell 's vivid descriptions opened up the Arabian deserts to the western world . In March 1907 , Bell journeyed to the Ottoman Empire and began to work with the archaeologist and New Testament scholar Sir William M. Ramsay . Their excavations in Binbirkilise were chronicled in A Thousand and One Churches . In 1907 , they discovered a field of ruins in northern Syria on the east bank of the upper course of the Euphrates to the steep slope of the former river valley . From the ruins , they created a plan and described the ramparts : `` Munbayah , where my tents were pitched -- the Arabic name means only a high - altitude course -- was probably the Bersiba in Ptolemy 's list of city names . It consists of a double rampart , situated on the river bank . '' In January 1909 , she left for Mesopotamia . She visited the Hittite city of Carchemish , mapped and described the ruin of Ukhaidir and finally went to Babylon and Najaf . Back in Carchemish , she consulted with the two archaeologists on site . One of them was T.E. Lawrence , assistant to Reginald Campbell - Thompson . In 1913 , she completed her last and most arduous Arabian journey , travelling around 1800 miles from Damascus to the politically volatile Ha'il , back up across the Arabian peninsula to Baghdad and from there back to Damascus . She was only the second foreign woman after Lady Anne Blunt to visit Ha'il , and arriving during a period of particular instability was held in the city for eleven days . In 1927 , a year after her death , her stepmother Dame Florence Bell published two volumes of Bell 's collected correspondence written during the 20 years preceding World War I . War and political career ( edit ) At the outbreak of World War I , Bell 's request for a Middle East posting was initially denied . She instead volunteered with the Red Cross in France . Later , she was asked by British Intelligence to get soldiers through the deserts , and from the World War I period until her death she was the only woman holding political power and influence in shaping British imperial policy in the Middle East . She often acquired a team of locals which she directed and led on her expeditions . Throughout her travels Bell established close relations with tribe members across the Middle East . Additionally , being a woman gave her exclusive access to the chambers of wives of tribe leaders , giving her access to other perspectives and functions . Cairo and Basra ( edit ) St John Philby In November 1915 she was summoned to Cairo to the nascent Arab Bureau , headed by General Gilbert Clayton . She also again met T.E. Lawrence . Both Bell and Lawrence had attended Oxford and earned a First Class Honours in Modern History , both spoke fluent Arabic and both had travelled extensively in the Arabian desert and established ties with the local tribes before World War I. Renowned archaeologist and historian Lt. Cmdr . David Hogarth recognised the value of Lawrence and Bell 's expertise and upon his recommendation first Lawrence , then Bell , were assigned to Army Intelligence Headquarters in Cairo in 1915 for war service . Arriving in February 1916 , she did not , at first , receive an official position , but instead helped Hogarth set about organising and processing her own , Lawrence 's and Capt . W.H.I. Shakespear 's data about the location and disposition of Arab tribes that could be encouraged to join the British against the Ottoman Empire . Lawrence and the British used the information in forming alliances with the Arabs . On 3 March 1916 , Gen. Clayton abruptly sent Bell to Basra , which British forces had captured in November 1914 , to advise Chief Political Officer Percy Cox regarding an area she knew better than any other Westerner . Cox found her an office in his headquarters , where she was employed for the two days per week she was not at Military GHQ Basra . She drew maps to help the British army reach Baghdad safely . She became the only female political officer in the British forces and received the title of `` Liaison Officer , Correspondent to Cairo '' ( i.e. to the Arab Bureau where she had been assigned ) . She was St. John Philby 's field controller , and taught him the finer arts of behind - the - scenes political manoeuvering . I went out last week along the light railway 25 miles into the desert it 's the Nasariyeh Railway - ... it was so curious to travel 50 minutes by rail and find ... General Maude , our new army commander , has just arrived . I 've made his acquaintance ... '' Armenian Genocide ( edit ) While in the Middle East , Gertrude Bell was a witness to the Armenian Genocide . Contrasting them with previous massacres , she wrote that the massacres of preceding years `` were not comparable to the massacres carried out in 1915 and the succeeding years . '' Bell also reported that in Damascus , `` Turks sold Armenian women openly in the public market . '' In an intelligence report , Bell wrote : The battalion left Aleppo on 3 February and reached Ras al - Ain in twelve hours ... some 12,000 Armenians were concentrated under the guardianship of some hundred Kurds ... These Kurds were called gendarmes , but in reality mere butchers ; bands of them were publicly ordered to take parties of Armenians , of both sexes , to various destinations , but had secret instructions to destroy the males , children and old women ... One of these gendarmes confessed to killing 100 Armenian men himself ... the empty desert cisterns and caves were also filled with corpses ... No man can ever think of a woman 's body except as a matter of horror , instead of attraction , after Ras al - Ain . '' Creation of Iraq ( edit ) After British troops took Baghdad on 10 March 1917 , Bell was summoned by Cox to Baghdad and given the title of `` Oriental Secretary . '' As the dismantling of the Ottoman Empire was finalised by the end of the war in late January 1919 , Bell was assigned to conduct an analysis of the situation in Mesopotamia . Due to her familiarity and relations with the tribes in the area she had strong ideas about the leadership needed in Iraq . She spent the next ten months writing what was later considered a masterly official report , `` Self Determination in Mesopotamia '' . The British Commissioner in Mesopotamia , Arnold Wilson , had different ideas of how Iraq should be run , preferring an Arab government to be under the influence of British officials who would retain real control , as he felt , from experience , that Mesopotamian populations were not yet ready to govern and administer the country efficiently and peacefully . On 11 October 1920 , Percy Cox returned to Baghdad and asked her to continue as Oriental Secretary , acting as liaison with the forthcoming Arab government . Gertrude Bell essentially played the role of mediator between the Arab government and British officials . Bell often had to mediate between the various groups of Iraq including a majority population of Shias in the southern region , Sunnis in central Iraq , and the Kurds , mostly in the northern region , who wished to be autonomous . Keeping these groups united was essential for political balance in Iraq and for British imperial interests . Iraq not only contained valuable resources in oil but would act as a buffer zone , with the help of Kurds in the north as a standing army in the region to protect against Turkey , Persia ( Iran ) , and Syria . British officials in London , especially Churchill , were highly concerned about cutting heavy costs in the colonies , including the cost of quashing tribal infighting . Another important project for both the British and new Iraqi rulers was creating a new identity for these people so that they would identify themselves as one nation . British officials quickly realised that their strategies in governing were adding to costs . Iraq would be cheaper as a self - governing state . The Cairo Conference of 1921 was held to determine the political and geographic structure of what later became Iraq and the modern Middle East . Significant input was given by Gertrude Bell in these discussions thus she was an essential part of its creation . At the Cairo Conference Bell and Lawrence highly recommended Faisal bin Hussein , ( the son of Hussein , Sherif of Mecca ) , former commander of the Arab forces that helped the British during the war and entered Damascus at the culmination of the Arab Revolt . He had been recently deposed by France as King of Syria , and British officials at the Cairo Conference decided to make him the first King of Iraq . They believed that due to his lineage as a Hashemite and his diplomatic skills he would be respected and have the ability to unite the various groups in the country . Shias would respect him because of his lineage from Muhammad . Sunnis , including Kurds , would follow him because he was Sunni from a respected family . Keeping all the groups under control in Iraq was essential to balance the political and economic interests of the British Empire . Upon Faisal 's arrival in 1921 , Bell advised him on local questions , including matters involving tribal geography and local business . She also supervised the selection of appointees for cabinet and other leadership posts in the new government . Referred to by Arabs as `` al - Khatun '' ( a Lady of the Court who keeps an open eye and ear for the benefit of the State ) , she was a confidante of King Faisal of Iraq and helped ease his passage into the role , amongst Iraq 's other tribal leaders at the start of his reign . He helped her to found Baghdad 's Iraqi Archaeological Museum from her own modest artefact collection and to establish The British School of Archaeology , Iraq , for the endowment of excavation projects from proceeds in her will . The stress of authoring a prodigious output of books , correspondence , intelligence reports , reference works , and white papers ; of recurring bronchitis attacks brought on by years of heavy smoking in the company of English and Arab cohorts ; of bouts with malaria ; and finally , of coping with Baghdad 's summer heat all took a toll on her health . Somewhat frail to start with , she became emaciated . Some consider the present troubles in Iraq to be derived from the political boundaries Bell conceived to create its borders . Her reports , however , indicate that problems were foreseen , and that it was clearly understood that there were just not many ( if any ) permanent solutions for calming the divisive forces at work in that part of the world . Throughout the early 1920s Bell was an integral part of the administration of Iraq . The new Hashemite monarchy used the Sharifian flag , which consisted of a black stripe representing the Abbasid caliphate , white stripe representing the Umayyad caliphate , and a green stripe for Fatimid Dynasty , and lastly a red triangle to set across the three bands symbolising Islam . Bell felt it essential to customise it for Iraq by adding a gold star to the design . Faisal was crowned king of Iraq on 23 August 1921 , but he was not completely welcomed . Utilizing Shi'ite history to gain support for Faisal , during the holy month of Muharram , Bell compared Faisal 's arrival in Baghdad to Husayn , grandson of Muhammad . However , she did not find working with the new king to be easy : `` You may rely upon one thing -- I 'll never engage in creating kings again ; it 's too great a strain . '' 1921 Conference ( edit ) Bell , Cox and Lawrence were among a select group of `` Orientalists '' convened by Winston Churchill to attend a 1921 Conference in Cairo to determine the boundaries of the British mandate ( e.g. , `` the British Partitions '' ) and nascent states such as Iraq . Gertrude is supposed to have described Lawrence as being able `` to ignite fires in cold rooms '' . Throughout the conference , she , Cox and Lawrence worked tirelessly to promote the establishment of the countries of Transjordan and Iraq to be presided over by the Kings Abdullah and Faisal , sons of the instigator of the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire ( ca . 1915 -- 1916 ) , Hussein bin Ali , Sharif and Emir of Mecca . Until her death in Baghdad , she served in the Iraq British High Commission advisory group there . Bell opposed the Zionist movement , on the grounds that it would be unfair to impose Jewish rule on Arab inhabitants of Palestine . She wrote that she regarded the Balfour Declaration with `` the deepest mistrust '' and that `` It 's like a nightmare in which you foresee all the horrible things which are going to happen and can ` t stretch out your hand to prevent them '' . Mark Sykes , the British diplomat responsible for the Sykes -- Picot Agreement , was not fond of her . National Library of Iraq ( edit ) In November 1919 , Bell was an invited speaker at a meeting for the promotion of a public library in Baghdad , and subsequently served on its Library Committee , as President from 1921 to 1924 . The Baghdad Peace Library ( Maktabat al - Salam ) was a private , subscription library , but in c. 1924 was taken over by the Ministry of Education and became known as the Baghdad Public Library ( or sometimes as the General Library ) . In 1961 , this became the National Library of Iraq . Baghdad Archaeological Museum ( edit ) Further information : National Museum of Iraq Gertrude Bell 's first love had always been archaeology , thus she began forming what became the Baghdad Archaeological Museum , later renamed the Iraqi Museum . Her goal was to preserve Iraqi culture and history which included the important relics of Mesopotamian civilizations , and keep them in their country of origin . She also supervised excavations and examined finds and artifacts . She brought in extensive collections , such as from the Babylonian Empire . The museum was officially opened in June 1926 , shortly before Bell 's death . After her death , at the Emir 's suggestion , the right wing of the Museum was named as a memorial to her . Final years ( edit ) When Bell briefly returned to Britain in 1925 , she faced family problems and ill health . Her family 's fortune had begun to decline due to the onset of post-World War I strikes by workers in Britain and economic depression in Europe . She returned to Baghdad and soon developed pleurisy . When she recovered , she heard that her younger half brother Hugh had died of typhoid . On 12 July 1926 , Bell was discovered dead , of an apparent overdose of sleeping pills . There is much debate on her death , but it is unknown whether the overdose was an intentional suicide or accidental since she had asked her maid to wake her . In her final years she became acquainted with Kinahan Cornwallis who later wrote an introduction to the posthumously published book The Arab War , Confidential Information for General Headquarters from Gertrude Bell , Being Despatches Reprinted from the Secret `` Arab Bulletin '' . She was buried at the British cemetery in Baghdad 's Bab al - Sharji district . Her funeral was a major event , attended by large numbers of people including her colleagues , British officials and the King of Iraq . It was said King Faisal watched the procession from his private balcony as they carried her coffin to the cemetery . Legacy and tributes ( edit ) Contemporary ( edit ) An obituary written by her peer D.G. Hogarth expressed the respect British officials held for her . Hogarth honoured her by saying , No woman in recent time has combined her qualities -- her taste for arduous and dangerous adventure with her scientific interest and knowledge , her competence in archaeology and art , her distinguished literary gift , her sympathy for all sorts and condition of men , her political insight and appreciation of human values , her masculine vigour , hard common sense and practical efficiency -- all tempered by feminine charm and a most romantic spirit . Modern ( edit ) Gertrude Bell is remembered in Iraq in the 21st century . The British diplomat , travel writer and Member of Parliament Rory Stewart wrote : When I served as a British official in southern Iraq in 2003 , I often heard Iraqis compare my female colleagues to `` Gertrude Bell . '' It was generally casual flattery , and yet the example of Bell and her colleagues was unsettling . More than ten biographies have portrayed her as the ideal Arabist , political analyst , and administrator . -- Rory Stewart Stewart notes that Bell was `` both more lively and more honest '' than political statements in his time . He quotes six examples of her writing , the shortest of which is `` No one knows exactly what they do want , least of all themselves , except that they do n't want us . '' He quotes Bell 's colleague , T. E. Lawrence ( of Arabia ) , as saying that she was `` not a good judge of men or situations '' , and observes that `` If there was no ideal solution , however , there were still clear mistakes . Bell should never have acquiesced in the inclusion of the Kurdish - dominated province of Mosul in Iraq . '' However , Stewart praises her 1920 White Paper , comparing it to General Petraeus 's report to the US Congress . Film ( edit ) In 1992 , Bell was portrayed by Gillian Barge in the ITV television film A Dangerous Man : Lawrence After Arabia . In 2015 , Werner Herzog released Queen of the Desert . The film chronicles much of Bell 's life and in it she is portrayed by Nicole Kidman . In 2016 , the documentary Letters from Baghdad based on Gertrude Bell 's and her contemporaries ' own writings was released . The film was directed and produced by Zeva Oelbaum and Sabine Krayenbühl . The quotations from Bell 's letters were read by Tilda Swinton . Posthumous tributes ( edit ) Gertrude Bell 's work was specially mentioned in the British Parliament , and she was awarded the Order of the British Empire . A stained - glass window dedicated to her memory , made by Douglas Strachan , was erected in St Lawrence 's Church , East Rounton , North Yorkshire . It depicts Magdalen College , Oxford , and Khadimain , Baghdad . The inscription reads : This window is in remembrance of Gertrude Versed in the learning of the east and of the west Servant of the state Scholar Poet Historian Antiquary Gardener Mountaineer Explorer Lover of nature of flowers and of animals Incomparable friend sister daughter . Museum ( edit ) In 2016 , a campaign was launched to transform Bell 's family estate , Red Barns , into a memorial and museum . The family were patrons to the Arts and Crafts movement in England , and the home , located in Redcar , features wallpaper by movement leader William Morris . The building is Grade II * listed among historical buildings , however it has lacked upkeep in recent years . Turning the building into a memorial to Gertrude is partially the result of a popular 2015 exhibition about her at the Great North Museum in Newcastle . The exhibition moved to the Kirkleatham Museum in Redcar after its run in Newcastle . Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ Daughter of John Shield of Newcastle - on - Tyne .

Generally , within one row ( period ) the elements are metals on the left , and non-metals on the right , with the elements having similar chemical behaviours being placed in the same column . Table rows are commonly called periods and columns are called groups . Six groups have accepted names as well as assigned numbers : for example , group 17 elements are halogens ; and group 18 are noble gases . Also displayed are four simple rectangular areas or blocks associated with the filling of different atomic orbitals . Importantly , the organization of the periodic table can be utilized to derive relationships between various element properties , but also predicted chemical properties and behaviours of undiscovered or newly synthesized elements . Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev was first to publish a recognizable periodic table in 1869 , developed mainly to illustrate periodic trends of the then - known elements . He also predicted some properties of unidentified elements that were expected to fill gaps within this table . Most of his forecasts proved to be correct . Mendeleev 's idea has been slowly expanded and refined with the discovery or synthesis of further new elements and by developing new theoretical models to explain chemical behaviour . The modern periodic table now provides a useful framework for analyzing chemical reactions , and continues to be widely adopted in chemistry , nuclear physics and other sciences . All elements ranging from atomic numbers 1 ( hydrogen ) to 118 ( oganesson ) have been either discovered or synthesized , completing the first seven rows of the periodic table . The first 98 elements exist naturally , although some are found only in trace amounts and were synthesized in laboratories before being found in nature . Atomic numbers for elements 99 to 118 have only been synthesized in laboratories or nuclear reactors . The synthesis of elements having higher atomic numbers is currently being pursued : these elements would begin an eighth row , and theoretical work has been done to suggest possible appearances for this extension . Numerous synthetic radionuclides of naturally occurring elements have also been produced in laboratories .

Actinide Transition metal Post - ​ transition metal Reactive nonmetal Noble gas Each chemical element has a unique atomic number ( Z ) representing the number of protons in its nucleus . Most elements have differing numbers of neutrons among different atoms , with these variants being referred to as isotopes . For example , carbon has three naturally occurring isotopes : all of its atoms have six protons and most have six neutrons as well , but about one per cent have seven neutrons , and a very small fraction have eight neutrons . Isotopes are never separated in the periodic table ; they are always grouped together under a single element . Elements with no stable isotopes have the atomic masses of their most stable isotopes , where such masses are shown , listed in parentheses . In the standard periodic table , the elements are listed in order of increasing atomic number Z ( the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom ) . A new row ( period ) is started when a new electron shell has its first electron . Columns ( groups ) are determined by the electron configuration of the atom ; elements with the same number of electrons in a particular subshell fall into the same columns ( e.g. oxygen and selenium are in the same column because they both have four electrons in the outermost p - subshell ) . Elements with similar chemical properties generally fall into the same group in the periodic table , although in the f - block , and to some respect in the d - block , the elements in the same period tend to have similar properties , as well . Thus , it is relatively easy to predict the chemical properties of an element if one knows the properties of the elements around it . As of 2016 , the periodic table has 118 confirmed elements , from element 1 ( hydrogen ) to 118 ( oganesson ) . Elements 113 , 115 , 117 and 118 , the most recent discoveries , were officially confirmed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry ( IUPAC ) in December 2015 . Their proposed names , nihonium ( Nh ) , moscovium ( Mc ) , tennessine ( Ts ) and oganesson ( Og ) respectively , were announced by the IUPAC in June 2016 and made official in November 2016 . The first 94 elements occur naturally ; the remaining 24 , americium to oganesson ( 95 -- 118 ) , occur only when synthesized in laboratories . Of the 94 naturally occurring elements , 83 are primordial and 11 occur only in decay chains of primordial elements . No element heavier than einsteinium ( element 99 ) has ever been observed in macroscopic quantities in its pure form , nor has astatine ( element 85 ) ; francium ( element 87 ) has been only photographed in the form of light emitted from microscopic quantities ( 300,000 atoms ) . Grouping methods Groups Main article : Group ( periodic table ) A group or family is a vertical column in the periodic table . Groups usually have more significant periodic trends than periods and blocks , explained below . Modern quantum mechanical theories of atomic structure explain group trends by proposing that elements within the same group generally have the same electron configurations in their valence shell . Consequently , elements in the same group tend to have a shared chemistry and exhibit a clear trend in properties with increasing atomic number . In some parts of the periodic table , such as the d - block and the f - block , horizontal similarities can be as important as , or more pronounced than , vertical similarities . Under an international naming convention , the groups are numbered numerically from 1 to 18 from the leftmost column ( the alkali metals ) to the rightmost column ( the noble gases ) . Previously , they were known by roman numerals . In America , the roman numerals were followed by either an `` A '' if the group was in the s - or p - block , or a `` B '' if the group was in the d - block . The roman numerals used correspond to the last digit of today 's naming convention ( e.g. the group 4 elements were group IVB , and the group 14 elements were group IVA ) . In Europe , the lettering was similar , except that `` A '' was used if the group was before group 10 , and `` B '' was used for groups including and after group 10 . In addition , groups 8 , 9 and 10 used to be treated as one triple - sized group , known collectively in both notations as group VIII . In 1988 , the new IUPAC naming system was put into use , and the old group names were deprecated . Some of these groups have been given trivial ( unsystematic ) names , as seen in the table below , although some are rarely used . Groups 3 -- 10 have no trivial names and are referred to simply by their group numbers or by the name of the first member of their group ( such as `` the scandium group '' for group 3 ) , since they display fewer similarities and / or vertical trends . Elements in the same group tend to show patterns in atomic radius , ionization energy , and electronegativity . From top to bottom in a group , the atomic radii of the elements increase . Since there are more filled energy levels , valence electrons are found farther from the nucleus . From the top , each successive element has a lower ionization energy because it is easier to remove an electron since the atoms are less tightly bound . Similarly , a group has a top - to - bottom decrease in electronegativity due to an increasing distance between valence electrons and the nucleus . There are exceptions to these trends : for example , in group 11 , electronegativity increases farther down the group . hide Groups in the Periodic table IUPAC group 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Mendeleev ( I -- VIII ) IA II A III B IV B VB VI B VII B VIII B IB II B III B IV B VB VI B VII B CAS ( US , A-B-A ) IA IIA IIIB IVB VB VIB VIIB VIIIB IB IIB IIIA IVA VA VIA VIIA VIIIA old IUPAC ( Europe , A-B ) IA IIA IIIA IVA VA VIA VIIA VIII B IB IIB IIIB IVB VB VIB VIIB 0 Trivial name Alkali metals Alkaline earth metals Coinage metals Triels Tetrels Pnictogens Chalcogens Halogens Noble gases Name by element Lithium group Beryllium group Scandium group Titanium group Vanadium group Chromium group Manganese group Iron group Cobalt group Nickel group Copper group Zinc group Boron group Carbon group Nitrogen group Oxygen group Fluorine group Helium or Neon group Period 1 He Period 2 Li Be O Ne Period 3 Na Mg Al Si Cl Ar Period 4 Ca Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn Ga Ge As Se Br Kr Period 5 Rb Sr Y Zr Nb Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd In Sn Sb Te Xe Period 6 Cs Ba La Ce -- Lu Hf Ta Re Os Ir Pt Au Hg Tl Pb Bi Po At Rn Period 7 Fr Ra Ac Th -- Lr Rf Db Sg Bh Hs Mt Ds Rg Cn Nh Fl Mc Lv Ts Og Group 3 has scandium ( Sc ) and yttrium ( Y ) . For the rest of the group , sources differ as either being ( 1 ) lutetium ( Lu ) and lawrencium ( Lr ) , or ( 2 ) lanthanum ( La ) and actinium ( Ac ) , or ( 3 ) the whole set of 15 + 15 lanthanides and actinides . IUPAC has initiated a project to standardize the definition as either ( 1 ) Sc , Y , Lu and Lr , or ( 2 ) Sc , Y , La and Ac . Group 18 , the noble gases , were not discovered at the time of Mendeleev 's original table . Later ( 1902 ) , Mendeleev accepted the evidence for their existence , and they could be placed in a new `` group 0 '' , consistently and without breaking the periodic table principle . Group name as recommended by IUPAC . Hydrogen ( H ) , while placed in group 1 , is not considered to be part of the alkali metals . Periods Main article : Period ( periodic table ) A period is a horizontal row in the periodic table . Although groups generally have more significant periodic trends , there are regions where horizontal trends are more significant than vertical group trends , such as the f - block , where the lanthanides and actinides form two substantial horizontal series of elements . Elements in the same period show trends in atomic radius , ionization energy , electron affinity , and electronegativity . Moving left to right across a period , atomic radius usually decreases . This occurs because each successive element has an added proton and electron , which causes the electron to be drawn closer to the nucleus . This decrease in atomic radius also causes the ionization energy to increase when moving from left to right across a period . The more tightly bound an element is , the more energy is required to remove an electron . Electronegativity increases in the same manner as ionization energy because of the pull exerted on the electrons by the nucleus . Electron affinity also shows a slight trend across a period . Metals ( left side of a period ) generally have a lower electron affinity than nonmetals ( right side of a period ) , with the exception of the noble gases . Blocks Main article : Block ( periodic table ) Left to right : s - , f - , d - , p - block in the periodic table Specific regions of the periodic table can be referred to as blocks in recognition of the sequence in which the electron shells of the elements are filled . Each block is named according to the subshell in which the `` last '' electron notionally resides . The s - block comprises the first two groups ( alkali metals and alkaline earth metals ) as well as hydrogen and helium . The p - block comprises the last six groups , which are groups 13 to 18 in IUPAC group numbering ( 3A to 8A in American group numbering ) and contains , among other elements , all of the metalloids . The d - block comprises groups 3 to 12 ( or 3B to 2B in American group numbering ) and contains all of the transition metals . The f - block , often offset below the rest of the periodic table , has no group numbers and comprises lanthanides and actinides . Metals , metalloids and nonmetals Metals , metalloids , nonmetals , and elements with unknown chemical properties in the periodic table . Sources disagree on the classification of some of these elements . According to their shared physical and chemical properties , the elements can be classified into the major categories of metals , metalloids and nonmetals . Metals are generally shiny , highly conducting solids that form alloys with one another and salt - like ionic compounds with nonmetals ( other than noble gases ) . A majority of nonmetals are coloured or colourless insulating gases ; nonmetals that form compounds with other nonmetals , feature covalent bonding . In between metals and nonmetals are metalloids , which have intermediate or mixed properties . Metal and nonmetals can be further classified into subcategories that show a gradation from metallic to non-metallic properties , when going left to right in the rows . The metals may be subdivided into the highly reactive alkali metals , through the less reactive alkaline earth metals , lanthanides and actinides , via the archetypal transition metals , and ending in the physically and chemically weak post-transition metals . Nonmetals may be simply subdivided into the polyatomic nonmetals , being nearer to the metalloids and show some incipient metallic character ; the essentially nonmetallic diatomic nonmetals , nonmetallic and the almost completely inert , monatomic noble gases . Specialized groupings such as refractory metals and noble metals , are examples of subsets of transition metals , also known and occasionally denoted . Placing elements into categories and subcategories based just on shared properties is imperfect . There is a large disparity of properties within each category with notable overlaps at the boundaries , as is the case with most classification schemes . Beryllium , for example , is classified as an alkaline earth metal although its amphoteric chemistry and tendency to mostly form covalent compounds are both attributes of a chemically weak or post-transition metal . Radon is classified as a nonmetallic noble gas yet has some cationic chemistry that is characteristic of metals . Other classification schemes are possible such as the division of the elements into mineralogical occurrence categories , or crystalline structures . Categorizing the elements in this fashion dates back to at least 1869 when Hinrichs wrote that simple boundary lines could be placed on the periodic table to show elements having shared properties , such as metals , nonmetals , or gaseous elements . Periodic trends and patterns Main article : Periodic trends Electron configuration Main article : Electronic configuration Approximate order in which shells and subshells are arranged by increasing energy according to the Madelung rule The electron configuration or organisation of electrons orbiting neutral atoms shows a recurring pattern or periodicity . The electrons occupy a series of electron shells ( numbered 1 , 2 , and so on ) . Each shell consists of one or more subshells ( named s , p , d , f and g ) . As atomic number increases , electrons progressively fill these shells and subshells more or less according to the Madelung rule or energy ordering rule , as shown in the diagram . The electron configuration for neon , for example , is 1s 2s 2p . With an atomic number of ten , neon has two electrons in the first shell , and eight electrons in the second shell ; there are two electrons in the s subshell and six in the p subshell . In periodic table terms , the first time an electron occupies a new shell corresponds to the start of each new period , these positions being occupied by hydrogen and the alkali metals . Periodic table trends ( arrows show an increase ) Since the properties of an element are mostly determined by its electron configuration , the properties of the elements likewise show recurring patterns or periodic behaviour , some examples of which are shown in the diagrams below for atomic radii , ionization energy and electron affinity . It is this periodicity of properties , manifestations of which were noticed well before the underlying theory was developed , that led to the establishment of the periodic law ( the properties of the elements recur at varying intervals ) and the formulation of the first periodic tables . Atomic radii Main article : Atomic radius Atomic number plotted against atomic radius Atomic radii vary in a predictable and explainable manner across the periodic table . For instance , the radii generally decrease along each period of the table , from the alkali metals to the noble gases ; and increase down each group . The radius increases sharply between the noble gas at the end of each period and the alkali metal at the beginning of the next period . These trends of the atomic radii ( and of various other chemical and physical properties of the elements ) can be explained by the electron shell theory of the atom ; they provided important evidence for the development and confirmation of quantum theory . The electrons in the 4f - subshell , which is progressively filled across the lanthanide series , are not particularly effective at shielding the increasing nuclear charge from the sub-shells further out . The elements immediately following the lanthanides have atomic radii that are smaller than would be expected and that are almost identical to the atomic radii of the elements immediately above them . Hence hafnium has virtually the same atomic radius ( and chemistry ) as zirconium , and tantalum has an atomic radius similar to niobium , and so forth . This is known as the lanthanide contraction . The effect of the lanthanide contraction is noticeable up to platinum ( element 78 ) , after which it is masked by a relativistic effect known as the inert pair effect . The d - block contraction , which is a similar effect between the d - block and p - block , is less pronounced than the lanthanide contraction but arises from a similar cause . Ionization energy Ionization energy : each period begins at a minimum for the alkali metals , and ends at a maximum for the noble gases Main article : Ionization energy The first ionization energy is the energy it takes to remove one electron from an atom , the second ionization energy is the energy it takes to remove a second electron from the atom , and so on . For a given atom , successive ionization energies increase with the degree of ionization . For magnesium as an example , the first ionization energy is 738 kJ / mol and the second is 1450 kJ / mol . Electrons in the closer orbitals experience greater forces of electrostatic attraction ; thus , their removal requires increasingly more energy . Ionization energy becomes greater up and to the right of the periodic table . Large jumps in the successive molar ionization energies occur when removing an electron from a noble gas ( complete electron shell ) configuration . For magnesium again , the first two molar ionization energies of magnesium given above correspond to removing the two 3s electrons , and the third ionization energy is a much larger 7730 kJ / mol , for the removal of a 2p electron from the very stable neon - like configuration of Mg . Similar jumps occur in the ionization energies of other third - row atoms . Electronegativity Main article : Electronegativity Graph showing increasing electronegativity with growing number of selected groups Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons . An atom 's electronegativity is affected by both its atomic number and the distance between the valence electrons and the nucleus . The higher its electronegativity , the more an element attracts electrons . It was first proposed by Linus Pauling in 1932 . In general , electronegativity increases on passing from left to right along a period , and decreases on descending a group . Hence , fluorine is the most electronegative of the elements , while caesium is the least , at least of those elements for which substantial data is available . There are some exceptions to this general rule . Gallium and germanium have higher electronegativities than aluminium and silicon respectively because of the d - block contraction . Elements of the fourth period immediately after the first row of the transition metals have unusually small atomic radii because the 3d - electrons are not effective at shielding the increased nuclear charge , and smaller atomic size correlates with higher electronegativity . The anomalously high electronegativity of lead , particularly when compared to thallium and bismuth , appears to be an artifact of data selection and data availability . Methods of calculation other than the Pauling method show the normal periodic trends for these elements . Electron affinity Main article : Electron affinity Dependence of electron affinity on atomic number . Values generally increase across each period , culminating with the halogens before decreasing precipitously with the noble gases . Examples of localized peaks seen in hydrogen , the alkali metals and the group 11 elements are caused by a tendency to complete the s - shell ( with the 6s shell of gold being further stabilized by relativistic effects and the presence of a filled 4f sub shell ) . Examples of localized troughs seen in the alkaline earth metals , and nitrogen , phosphorus , manganese and rhenium are caused by filled s - shells , or half - filled p - or d - shells . The electron affinity of an atom is the amount of energy released when an electron is added to a neutral atom to form a negative ion . Although electron affinity varies greatly , some patterns emerge . Generally , nonmetals have more positive electron affinity values than metals . Chlorine most strongly attracts an extra electron . The electron affinities of the noble gases have not been measured conclusively , so they may or may not have slightly negative values . Electron affinity generally increases across a period . This is caused by the filling of the valence shell of the atom ; a group 17 atom releases more energy than a group 1 atom on gaining an electron because it obtains a filled valence shell and is therefore more stable . A trend of decreasing electron affinity going down groups would be expected . The additional electron will be entering an orbital farther away from the nucleus . As such this electron would be less attracted to the nucleus and would release less energy when added . In going down a group , around one - third of elements are anomalous , with heavier elements having higher electron affinities than their next lighter congenors . Largely , this is due to the poor shielding by d and f electrons . A uniform decrease in electron affinity only applies to group 1 atoms . Metallic character The lower the values of ionization energy , electronegativity and electron affinity , the more metallic character the element has . Conversely , nonmetallic character increases with higher values of these properties . Given the periodic trends of these three properties , metallic character tends to decrease going across a period ( or row ) and , with some irregularities ( mostly ) due to poor screening of the nucleus by d and f electrons , and relativistic effects , tends to increase going down a group ( or column or family ) . Thus , the most metallic elements ( such as caesium and francium ) are found at the bottom left of traditional periodic tables and the most nonmetallic elements ( oxygen , fluorine , chlorine ) at the top right . The combination of horizontal and vertical trends in metallic character explains the stair - shaped dividing line between metals and nonmetals found on some periodic tables , and the practice of sometimes categorizing several elements adjacent to that line , or elements adjacent to those elements , as metalloids .

These groups , like the metalloids , show properties in between , or that are a mixture of , groups to either side . Chemically , the group 3 elements , scandium , yttrium , lanthanum and actinium behave largely like the alkaline earth metals or , more generally , s block metals but have some of the physical properties of d block transition metals . Lutetium and lawrencium , at the end of the end of the f block , may constitute another linking or bridging group . Lutetium behaves chemically as a lanthanide but shows a mix of lanthanide and transition metal physical properties . Lawrencium , as an analogue of lutetium , would presumable display like characteristics . The coinage metals in group 11 ( copper , silver , and gold ) are chemically capable of acting as either transition metals or main group metals . The volatile group 12 metals , zinc , cadmium and mercury are sometimes regarded as linking the d block to the p block . Notionally they are d block elements but they have few transition metal properties and are more like their p block neighbors in group 13 . The relatively inert noble gases , in group 18 , bridge the most reactive groups of elements in the periodic table -- the halogens in group 17 and the alkali metals in group 1 . History Main article : History of the periodic table First systemization attempts The discovery of the elements mapped to significant periodic table development dates ( pre - , per - and post - ) In 1789 , Antoine Lavoisier published a list of 33 chemical elements , grouping them into gases , metals , nonmetals , and earths . Chemists spent the following century searching for a more precise classification scheme . In 1829 , Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner observed that many of the elements could be grouped into triads based on their chemical properties . Lithium , sodium , and potassium , for example , were grouped together in a triad as soft , reactive metals . Döbereiner also observed that , when arranged by atomic weight , the second member of each triad was roughly the average of the first and the third ; this became known as the Law of Triads . German chemist Leopold Gmelin worked with this system , and by 1843 he had identified ten triads , three groups of four , and one group of five . Jean - Baptiste Dumas published work in 1857 describing relationships between various groups of metals . Although various chemists were able to identify relationships between small groups of elements , they had yet to build one scheme that encompassed them all . In 1857 , German chemist August Kekulé observed that carbon often has four other atoms bonded to it . Methane , for example , has one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms . This concept eventually became known as valency ; different elements bond with different numbers of atoms . In 1862 , Alexandre - Emile Béguyer de Chancourtois , a French geologist , published an early form of periodic table , which he called the telluric helix or screw . He was the first person to notice the periodicity of the elements . With the elements arranged in a spiral on a cylinder by order of increasing atomic weight , de Chancourtois showed that elements with similar properties seemed to occur at regular intervals . His chart included some ions and compounds in addition to elements . His paper also used geological rather than chemical terms and did not include a diagram ; as a result , it received little attention until the work of Dmitri Mendeleev . In 1864 , Julius Lothar Meyer , a German chemist , published a table with 44 elements arranged by valency . The table showed that elements with similar properties often shared the same valency . Concurrently , English chemist William Odling published an arrangement of 57 elements , ordered on the basis of their atomic weights . With some irregularities and gaps , he noticed what appeared to be a periodicity of atomic weights among the elements and that this accorded with `` their usually received groupings '' . Odling alluded to the idea of a periodic law but did not pursue it . He subsequently proposed ( in 1870 ) a valence - based classification of the elements . Newlands ' periodic table , as presented to the Chemical Society in 1866 , and based on the law of octaves English chemist John Newlands produced a series of papers from 1863 to 1866 noting that when the elements were listed in order of increasing atomic weight , similar physical and chemical properties recurred at intervals of eight ; he likened such periodicity to the octaves of music . This so termed Law of Octaves was ridiculed by Newlands ' contemporaries , and the Chemical Society refused to publish his work . Newlands was nonetheless able to draft a table of the elements and used it to predict the existence of missing elements , such as germanium . The Chemical Society only acknowledged the significance of his discoveries five years after they credited Mendeleev . In 1867 , Gustavus Hinrichs , a Danish born academic chemist based in America , published a spiral periodic system based on atomic spectra and weights , and chemical similarities . His work was regarded as idiosyncratic , ostentatious and labyrinthine and this may have militated against its recognition and acceptance . Mendeleev 's table Dmitri Mendeleev , watercolour by Ilya Repin Mendeleev 's periodic table from his book An Attempt Towards a Chemical Conception of the Ether A version of Mendeleev 's 1869 periodic table : An experiment on a system of elements based on their atomic weights and chemical similarities . This early arrangement presents the periods vertically , and the groups horizontally . Russian chemistry professor Dmitri Mendeleev and German chemist Julius Lothar Meyer independently published their periodic tables in 1869 and 1870 , respectively . Mendeleev 's table was his first published version ; that of Meyer was an expanded version of his ( Meyer 's ) table of 1864 . They both constructed their tables by listing the elements in rows or columns in order of atomic weight and starting a new row or column when the characteristics of the elements began to repeat . The recognition and acceptance afforded to Mendeleev 's table came from two decisions he made . The first was to leave gaps in the table when it seemed that the corresponding element had not yet been discovered . Mendeleev was not the first chemist to do so , but he was the first to be recognized as using the trends in his periodic table to predict the properties of those missing elements , such as gallium and germanium . The second decision was to occasionally ignore the order suggested by the atomic weights and switch adjacent elements , such as tellurium and iodine , to better classify them into chemical families . Mendeleev published in 1869 , using atomic weight to organize the elements , information determinable to fair precision in his time . Atomic weight worked well enough to allow Mendeleev to accurately predict the properties of missing elements . Following the discovery , in 1911 , by Ernest Rutherford of the atomic nucleus , it was proposed that the integer count of the nuclear charge is identical to the sequential place of each element in the periodic table . In 1913 , Henry Moseley using X-ray spectroscopy confirmed this proposal experimentally . Moseley determined the value of the nuclear charge of each element , and showed that Mendeleev 's ordering actually places the elements in sequential order by nuclear charge . Nuclear charge is identical to proton count , and determines the value of the atomic number ( Z ) of each element . Using atomic number gives a definitive , integer - based sequence for the elements . Moseley predicted , in 1913 , that the only elements still missing between aluminium ( Z = 13 ) and gold ( Z = 79 ) were Z = 43 , 61 , 72 , and 75 , all of which were later discovered . The atomic number is the absolute definition of an element , and gives a factual basis for the ordering of the periodic table . The periodic table is used to predict the properties of new synthetic elements before they are produced and studied . Second version and further development Mendeleev 's 1871 periodic table with eight groups of elements . Dashes represented elements unknown in 1871 . Eight - column form of periodic table , updated with all elements discovered to 2016 In 1871 , Mendeleev published his periodic table in a new form , with groups of similar elements arranged in columns rather than in rows , and those columns numbered I to VIII corresponding with the element 's oxidation state . He also gave detailed predictions for the properties of elements he had earlier noted were missing , but should exist . These gaps were subsequently filled as chemists discovered additional naturally occurring elements . It is often stated that the last naturally occurring element to be discovered was francium ( referred to by Mendeleev as eka - caesium ) in 1939 . Plutonium , produced synthetically in 1940 , was identified in trace quantities as a naturally occurring element in 1971 . The popular periodic table layout , also known as the common or standard form ( as shown at various other points in this article ) , is attributable to Horace Groves Deming . In 1923 , Deming , an American chemist , published short ( Mendeleev style ) and medium ( 18 - column ) form periodic tables . Merck and Company prepared a handout form of Deming 's 18 - column medium table , in 1928 , which was widely circulated in American schools . By the 1930s Deming 's table was appearing in handbooks and encyclopaedias of chemistry . It was also distributed for many years by the Sargent - Welch Scientific Company . With the development of modern quantum mechanical theories of electron configurations within atoms , it became apparent that each period ( row ) in the table corresponded to the filling of a quantum shell of electrons . Larger atoms have more electron sub-shells , so later tables have required progressively longer periods . Glenn T. Seaborg , in 1945 , suggested a new periodic table showing the actinides as belonging to a second f - block series . In 1945 , Glenn Seaborg , an American scientist , made the suggestion that the actinide elements , like the lanthanides , were filling an f sub-level . Before this time the actinides were thought to be forming a fourth d - block row . Seaborg 's colleagues advised him not to publish such a radical suggestion as it would most likely ruin his career . As Seaborg considered he did not then have a career to bring into disrepute , he published anyway . Seaborg 's suggestion was found to be correct and he subsequently went on to win the 1951 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work in synthesizing actinide elements . Although minute quantities of some transuranic elements occur naturally , they were all first discovered in laboratories . Their production has expanded the periodic table significantly , the first of these being neptunium , synthesized in 1939 . Because many of the transuranic elements are highly unstable and decay quickly , they are challenging to detect and characterize when produced . There have been controversies concerning the acceptance of competing discovery claims for some elements , requiring independent review to determine which party has priority , and hence naming rights . In 2010 , a joint Russia -- US collaboration at Dubna , Moscow Oblast , Russia , claimed to have synthesized six atoms of tennessine ( element 117 ) , making it the most recently claimed discovery . It , along with nihonium ( element 113 ) , moscovium ( element 115 ) , and oganesson ( element 118 ) , are the four most recently named elements , whose names all became official on 28 November 2016 . Different periodic tables The long - or 32 - column table The periodic table in 32 - column format The modern periodic table is sometimes expanded into its long or 32 - column form by reinstating the footnoted f - block elements into their natural position between the s - and d - blocks . Unlike the 18 - column form this arrangement results in `` no interruptions in the sequence of increasing atomic numbers '' . The relationship of the f - block to the other blocks of the periodic table also becomes easier to see . Jensen advocates a form of table with 32 columns on the grounds that the lanthanides and actinides are otherwise relegated in the minds of students as dull , unimportant elements that can be quarantined and ignored . Despite these advantages the 32 - column form is generally avoided by editors on account of its undue rectangular ratio ( compared to a book page ratio ) , and the familiarity of chemists with the modern form ( as introduced by Seaborg ) . Tables with different structures Main article : Alternative periodic tables Within 100 years of the appearance of Mendeleev 's table in 1869 it has been estimated that around 700 different periodic table versions were published . As well as numerous rectangular variations , other periodic table formats have been shaped , for example , like a circle , cube , cylinder , building , spiral , lemniscate , octagonal prism , pyramid , sphere , or triangle . Such alternatives are often developed to highlight or emphasize chemical or physical properties of the elements that are not as apparent in traditional periodic tables . Theodor Benfey 's spiral periodic table A popular alternative structure is that of Theodor Benfey ( 1960 ) . The elements are arranged in a continuous spiral , with hydrogen at the centre and the transition metals , lanthanides , and actinides occupying peninsulas . Most periodic tables are two - dimensional ; three - dimensional tables are known to as far back as at least 1862 ( pre-dating Mendeleev 's two - dimensional table of 1869 ) . More recent examples include Courtines ' Periodic Classification ( 1925 ) , Wringley 's Lamina System ( 1949 ) , Giguère 's Periodic helix ( 1965 ) and Dufour 's Periodic Tree ( 1996 ) . Going one further , Stowe 's Physicist 's Periodic Table ( 1989 ) has been described as being four - dimensional ( having three spatial dimensions and one colour dimension ) . The various forms of periodic tables can be thought of as lying on a chemistry -- physics continuum . Towards the chemistry end of the continuum can be found , as an example , Rayner - Canham 's `` unruly '' Inorganic Chemist 's Periodic Table ( 2002 ) , which emphasizes trends and patterns , and unusual chemical relationships and properties . Near the physics end of the continuum is Janet 's Left - Step Periodic Table ( 1928 ) . This has a structure that shows a closer connection to the order of electron - shell filling and , by association , quantum mechanics . A somewhat similar approach has been taken by Alper , albeit criticized by Eric Scerri as disregarding the need to display chemical and physical periodicity . Somewhere in the middle of the continuum is the ubiquitous common or standard form of periodic table . This is regarded as better expressing empirical trends in physical state , electrical and thermal conductivity , and oxidation numbers , and other properties easily inferred from traditional techniques of the chemical laboratory . Its popularity is thought to be a result of this layout having a good balance of features in terms of ease of construction and size , and its depiction of atomic order and periodic trends . hide Left - step periodic table ( by Charles Janet ) f f f f f f f f f f f f f f d d d d d d d d d d p p p p p p s s 1s He 2s Li Be 2p 3s O Ne Na Mg 3p 4s Al Si Cl Ar Ca 3d 4p 5s Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn Ga Ge As Se Br Kr Rb Sr 4d 5p 6s Y Zr Nb Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd In Sn Sb Te I Xe Cs Ba 4f 5d 6p 7s La Ce Pr Nd Pm Sm Eu Gd Tb Dy Ho Er Tm Yb Lu Hf Ta Re Os Ir Pt Au Hg Tl Pb Bi Po At Rn Fr Ra 5f 6d 7p 8s Ac Th Pa U Np Pu Am Cm Bk Cf Es Fm Md No Lr Rf Db Sg Bh Hs Mt Ds Rg Cn Nh Fl Mc Lv Ts Og 119 120 f - block d - block p - block s - block This form of periodic table is more congruent with the order in which electron shells are ideally filled according to the Madelung rule , as shown in the accompanying sequence in the left margin ( read from top to bottom , left to right ) . In reality , the filling of electron shells is characterized by a number of irregularities . Open questions and controversies Placement of hydrogen and helium Simply following electron configurations , hydrogen ( electronic configuration 1s ) and helium ( 1s ) should be placed in groups 1 and 2 , above lithium ( 1s 2s ) and beryllium ( 1s 2s ) . While such a placement is common for hydrogen , it is rarely used for helium outside of the context of electron configurations : When the noble gases ( then called `` inert gases '' ) were first discovered around 1900 , they were known as `` group 0 '' , reflecting no chemical reactivity of these elements known at that point , and helium was placed on the top of that group , as it did share the extreme chemical inertness seen throughout the group . As the group changed its formal number , many authors continued to assign helium directly above neon , in group 18 ; one of the examples of such placing is the current IUPAC table . Hydrogen 's chemical properties are not very close to those of the alkali metals , which occupy group 1 . On this basis it is sometimes placed elsewhere . A common alternative is at the top of group 17 given hydrogen 's strictly univalent and largely non-metallic chemistry , and the strictly univalent and non-metallic chemistry of fluorine ( the element otherwise at the top of group 17 ) . Sometimes , to show hydrogen has properties corresponding to both those of the alkali metals and the halogens , it is shown at the top of the two columns simultaneously . Another suggestion is above carbon in group 14 : placed that way , it fits well into the trends of increasing ionization potential values and electron affinity values , and is not too far from the electronegativity trend , even though hydrogen can not show the tetravalence characteristic of the heavier group 14 elements . Finally , hydrogen is sometimes placed separately from any group ; this is based on how general properties of hydrogen differ from that of any group . The other period 1 element , helium , is sometimes placed separately from any group as well . The property that distinguishes helium from the rest of the noble gases ( even though the extraordinary inertness of helium is extremely close to that of neon and argon ) is that in its closed electron shell , helium has only two electrons in the outermost electron orbital , while the rest of the noble gases have eight . Group 3 and its elements in periods 6 and 7 Although scandium and yttrium are always the first two elements in group 3 , the identity of the next two elements is not completely settled . They are commonly lanthanum and actinium , and less often lutetium and lawrencium . The two variants originate from historical difficulties in placing the lanthanides in the periodic table , and arguments as to where the f block elements start and end . It has been claimed that such arguments are proof that , `` it is a mistake to break the ( periodic ) system into sharply delimited blocks '' . A third variant shows the two positions below yttrium as being occupied by the lanthanides and the actinides . Chemical and physical arguments have been made in support of lutetium and lawrencium but the majority of authors seem unconvinced . Most working chemists are not aware there is any controversy . In December 2015 an IUPAC project was established to make a recommendation on the matter . Lanthanum and actinium La and Ac below Y Lanthanum and actinium are commonly depicted as the remaining group 3 members . It has been suggested that this layout originated in the 1940s , with the appearance of periodic tables relying on the electron configurations of the elements and the notion of the differentiating electron . The configurations of caesium , barium and lanthanum are ( Xe ) 6s , ( Xe ) 6s and ( Xe ) 5d 6s . Lanthanum thus has a 5d differentiating electron and this establishes it `` in group 3 as the first member of the d - block for period 6 '' . A consistent set of electron configurations is then seen in group 3 : scandium ( Ar ) 3d 4s , yttrium ( Kr ) 4d 5s and lanthanum ( Xe ) 5d 6s . Still in period 6 , ytterbium was assigned an electron configuration of ( Xe ) 4f 5d 6s and lutetium ( Xe ) 4f 5d 6s , `` resulting in a 4f differentiating electron for lutetium and firmly establishing it as the last member of the f - block for period 6 '' . Later spectroscopic work found that the electron configuration of ytterbium was in fact ( Xe ) 4f 6s . This meant that ytterbium and lutetium -- the latter with ( Xe ) 4f 5d 6s -- both had 14 f - electrons , `` resulting in a d - rather than an f - differentiating electron '' for lutetium and making it an `` equally valid candidate '' with ( Xe ) 5d 6s lanthanum , for the group 3 periodic table position below yttrium . Lanthanum has the advantage of incumbency since the 5d electron appears for the first time in its structure whereas it appears for the third time in lutetium , having also made a brief second appearance in gadolinium . In terms of chemical behaviour , and trends going down group 3 for properties such as melting point , electronegativity and ionic radius , scandium , yttrium , lanthanum and actinium are similar to their group 1 -- 2 counterparts . In this variant , the number of f electrons in the most common ( trivalent ) ions of the f - block elements consistently matches their position in the f - block . For example , the f - electron counts for the trivalent ions of the first three f - block elements are Ce 1 , Pr 2 and Nd 3 . Lutetium and lawrencium Lu and Lr below Y In other tables , lutetium and lawrencium are the remaining group 3 members . Early techniques for chemically separating scandium , yttrium and lutetium relied on the fact that these elements occurred together in the so - called `` yttrium group '' whereas La and Ac occurred together in the `` cerium group '' . Accordingly , lutetium rather than lanthanum was assigned to group 3 by some chemists in the 1920s and 30s . Several physicists in the 1950s and ' 60s favoured lutetium , in light of a comparison of several of its physical properties with those of lanthanum . This arrangement , in which lanthanum is the first member of the f - block , is disputed by some authors since lanthanum lacks any f - electrons . It has been argued that this is not valid concern given other periodic table anomalies -- thorium , for example , has no f - electrons yet is part of the f - block . As for lawrencium , its gas phase atomic electron configuration was confirmed in 2015 as ( Rn ) 5f 7s 7p . Such a configuration represents another periodic table anomaly , regardless of whether lawrencium is located in the f - block or the d - block , as the only potentially applicable p - block position has been reserved for nihonium with its predicted configuration of ( Rn ) 5f 6d 7s 7p . Chemically , scandium , yttrium and lutetium ( and presumably lawrencium ) behave like trivalent versions of the group 1 -- 2 metals . On the other hand , trends going down the group for properties such as melting point , electronegativity and ionic radius , are similar to those found among their group 4 -- 8 counterparts . In this variant , the number of f electrons in the gaseous forms of the f - block atoms usually matches their position in the f - block . For example , the f - electron counts for the first five f - block elements are La 0 , Ce 1 , Pr 3 , Nd 4 and Pm 5 . Lanthanides and actinides Markers below Y A few authors position all thirty lanthanides and actinides in the two positions below yttrium ( usually via footnote markers ) . This variant emphasizes similarities in the chemistry of the 15 lanthanide elements ( La -- Lu ) , possibly at the expense of ambiguity as to which elements occupy the two group 3 positions below yttrium , and a 15 - column wide f block ( there can only be 14 elements in any row of the f block ) . Groups included in the transition metals The definition of a transition metal , as given by IUPAC , is an element whose atom has an incomplete d sub-shell , or which can give rise to cations with an incomplete d sub-shell . By this definition all of the elements in groups 3 -- 11 are transition metals . The IUPAC definition therefore excludes group 12 , comprising zinc , cadmium and mercury , from the transition metals category . Some chemists treat the categories `` d - block elements '' and `` transition metals '' interchangeably , thereby including groups 3 -- 12 among the transition metals . In this instance the group 12 elements are treated as a special case of transition metal in which the d electrons are not ordinarily involved in chemical bonding . The 2007 report of mercury ( IV ) fluoride ( HgF ) , a compound in which mercury would use its d electrons for bonding , has prompted some commentators to suggest that mercury can be regarded as a transition metal . Other commentators , such as Jensen , have argued that the formation of a compound like HgF can occur only under highly abnormal conditions ; indeed , its existence is currently disputed . As such , mercury could not be regarded as a transition metal by any reasonable interpretation of the ordinary meaning of the term . Still other chemists further exclude the group 3 elements from the definition of a transition metal . They do so on the basis that the group 3 elements do not form any ions having a partially occupied d shell and do not therefore exhibit any properties characteristic of transition metal chemistry . In this case , only groups 4 -- 11 are regarded as transition metals . Though the group 3 elements show few of the characteristic chemical properties of the transition metals , they do show some of their characteristic physical properties ( on account of the presence in each atom of a single d electron ) . Elements with unknown chemical properties Although all elements up to oganesson have been discovered , of the elements above hassium ( element 108 ) , only copernicium ( element 112 ) , nihonium ( element 113 ) , and flerovium ( element 114 ) have known chemical properties , and only for copernicium is there enough evidence for a conclusive categorisation at present . The other elements may behave differently from what would be predicted by extrapolation , due to relativistic effects ; for example , flerovium has been predicted to possibly exhibit some noble - gas - like properties , even though it is currently placed in the carbon group . The current experimental evidence still leaves open the question of whether flerovium behaves more like a metal or a noble gas .

Seaborg expected the eighth period to follow the previously established pattern exactly , so that it would include a two - element s - block for elements 119 and 120 , a new g - block for the next 18 elements , and 30 additional elements continuing the current f - , d - , and p - blocks , culminating in element 168 , the next noble gas . More recently , physicists such as Pekka Pyykkö have theorized that these additional elements do not follow the Madelung rule , which predicts how electron shells are filled and thus affects the appearance of the present periodic table . There are currently several competing theoretical models for the placement of the elements of atomic number less than or equal to 172 . In all of these it is element 172 , rather than element 168 , that emerges as the next noble gas after oganesson , although these must be regarded as speculative as no complete calculations have been done beyond element 122 . Element with the highest possible atomic number The number of possible elements is not known . A very early suggestion made by Elliot Adams in 1911 , and based on the arrangement of elements in each horizontal periodic table row , was that elements of atomic weight greater than circa 256 ( which would equate to between elements 99 and 100 in modern - day terms ) did not exist . A higher -- more recent -- estimate is that the periodic table may end soon after the island of stability , which is expected to centre around element 126 , as the extension of the periodic and nuclides tables is restricted by proton and neutron drip lines . Other predictions of an end to the periodic table include at element 128 by John Emsley , at element 137 by Richard Feynman , and at element 155 by Albert Khazan . Bohr model The Bohr model exhibits difficulty for atoms with atomic number greater than 137 , as any element with an atomic number greater than 137 would require 1s electrons to be travelling faster than c , the speed of light . Hence the non-relativistic Bohr model is inaccurate when applied to such an element . Relativistic Dirac equation The relativistic Dirac equation has problems for elements with more than 137 protons . For such elements , the wave function of the Dirac ground state is oscillatory rather than bound , and there is no gap between the positive and negative energy spectra , as in the Klein paradox . More accurate calculations taking into account the effects of the finite size of the nucleus indicate that the binding energy first exceeds the limit for elements with more than 173 protons . For heavier elements , if the innermost orbital ( 1s ) is not filled , the electric field of the nucleus will pull an electron out of the vacuum , resulting in the spontaneous emission of a positron . This does not happen if the innermost orbital is filled , so that element 173 is not necessarily the end of the periodic table . Optimal form The many different forms of periodic table have prompted the question of whether there is an optimal or definitive form of periodic table . The answer to this question is thought to depend on whether the chemical periodicity seen to occur among the elements has an underlying truth , effectively hard - wired into the universe , or if any such periodicity is instead the product of subjective human interpretation , contingent upon the circumstances , beliefs and predilections of human observers . An objective basis for chemical periodicity would settle the questions about the location of hydrogen and helium , and the composition of group 3 . Such an underlying truth , if it exists , is thought to have not yet been discovered . In its absence , the many different forms of periodic table can be regarded as variations on the theme of chemical periodicity , each of which explores and emphasizes different aspects , properties , perspectives and relationships of and among the elements .

Jump up ^ There is an inconsistency and some irregularities in this convention . Thus , helium is shown in the p - block but is actually an s - block element , and ( for example ) the d - subshell in the d - block is actually filled by the time group 11 is reached , rather than group 12 . Jump up ^ The noble gases , astatine , francium , and all elements heavier than americium were left out as there is no data for them . Jump up ^ While fluorine is the most electronegative of the elements under the Pauling scale , neon is the most electronegative element under other scales , such as the Allen scale . Jump up ^ While Lr is thought to have p rather than d electron in its ground - state electron configuration , and would therefore be expected to be volatile metal capable of forming a + 1 cation in solution , no evidence of either of these properties has been able to be obtained despite experimental attempts to do so . It was originally expected to have ad electron in its electron configuration and this may still be the case for metallic lawrencium , whereas gas phase atomic lawrencium is very likely thought to have ap electron . Jump up ^ An antecedent of Deming 's 18 - column table may be seen in Adams ' 16 - column Periodic Table of 1911 . Adams omits the rare earths and the `` radioactive elements '' ( i.e. the actinides ) from the main body of his table and instead shows them as being `` careted in only to save space '' ( rare earths between Ba and eka - Yt ; radioactive elements between eka - Te and eka - I ) . See : Elliot Q.A. ( 1911 ) . `` A modification of the periodic table '' . Journal of the American Chemical Society . 33 ( 5 ) : 684 -- 688 ( 687 ) . Jump up ^ A second extra-long periodic table row , to accommodate known and undiscovered elements with an atomic weight greater than bismuth ( thorium , protactinium and uranium , for example ) , had been postulated as far back as 1892 . Most investigators considered that these elements were analogues of the third series transition elements , hafnium , tantalum and tungsten . The existence of a second inner transition series , in the form of the actinides , was not accepted until similarities with the electron structures of the lanthanides had been established . See : van Spronsen , J.W. ( 1969 ) . The periodic system of chemical elements . Amsterdam : Elsevier . p. 315 -- 316 , ISBN 0 - 444 - 40776 - 6 . Jump up ^ See The Internet database of periodic tables for depictions of these kinds of variants . Jump up ^ But for the existence of the lanthanides the composition of group 3 would not have been a source of any special interest , since scandium , yttrium , lanthanum and actinium exhibit the same gradual change in properties as do calcium , strontium , barium and radium in group 2 . Jump up ^ The detachment of the lanthanides from the main body of the periodic table has been attributed to the Czech chemist Bohuslav Brauner who , in 1902 , allocated all of them ( `` Ce etc . '' ) to one position in group 4 , below zirconium . This arrangement was referred to as the `` asteroid hypothesis '' , in analogy to asteroids occupying a single orbit in the solar system . Before this time the lanthanides were generally ( and unsuccessfully ) placed throughout groups I to VIII of the older 8 - column form of periodic table . Although predecessors of Brauner 's 1902 arrangement are recorded from as early as 1895 , he is known to have referred to the `` chemistry of asteroids '' in an 1881 letter to Mendeleev . Other authors assigned all of the lanthanides to either group 3 , groups 3 and 4 , or groups 2 , 3 and 4 . In 1922 Niels Bohr continued the detachment process by locating the lanthanides between the s - and d - blocks . In 1949 Glenn T. Seaborg ( re ) introduced the form of periodic table that is popular today , in which the lanthanides and actinides appear as footnotes . Seaborg first published his table in a classified report dated 1944 . It was published again by him in 1945 in Chemical and Engineering News , and in the years up to 1949 several authors commented on , and generally agreed with , Seaborg 's proposal . In that year he noted that the best method for presenting the actinides seemed to be by positioning them below , and as analogues of , the lanthanides . See : Thyssen P. and Binnemans K.

Tokyo : McGraw - Hill Kogakusha Jump up ^ The phenomenon of different separation groups is caused by increasing basicity with increasing radius , and does not constitute a fundamental reason to show Lu , rather than La , below Y . Thus , among the Group 2 alkaline earth metals , Mg ( less basic ) belongs in the `` soluble group '' and Ca , Sr and Ba ( more basic ) occur in the `` ammonium carbonate group '' . Nevertheless , Mg , Ca , Sr and Ba are routinely collocated in Group 2 of the periodic table . See : Moeller et al. ( 1989 ) . Chemistry with Inorganic Qualitative Analysis ( 3rd ed . ) . SanDiego : Harcourt Brace Jovanovich , pp. 955 -- 956 , 958 .

Jump up ^ Scerri , one of the foremost authorities on the history of the periodic table , favoured the concept of an optimal form of periodic table but has recently changed his mind and now supports the value of a plurality of periodic tables .

It was created on August 25 , 1916 , by Congress through the National Park Service Organic Act and is an agency of the United States Department of the Interior . The NPS is charged with a dual role of preserving the ecological and historical integrity of the places entrusted to its management , while also making them available and accessible for public use and enjoyment . As of 2014 , the NPS employs 21,651 employees who oversee 417 units , of which 59 are designated national parks .

Printed on each brochure was a map showing the parks and principal railroad connections . In 1934 , a series of ten postage stamps were issued to commemorate the reorganization and expansion of the National Park Service . National parks and national monuments in the United States were originally individually managed under the auspices of the Department of the Interior . The movement for an independent agency to oversee these federal lands was spearheaded by business magnate and conservationist Stephen Mather , as well as J. Horace McFarland . With the help of journalist Robert Sterling Yard , Mather ran a publicity campaign for the Department of the Interior . They wrote numerous articles that praised the scenic and historic qualities of the parks and their possibilities for educational , inspirational , and recreational benefits . This campaign resulted in the creation of a National Park Service . On August 25 , 1916 , President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill that mandated the agency `` to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and wildlife therein , and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations . '' Mather became the first director of the newly formed NPS . On March 3 , 1933 , President Herbert Hoover signed the Reorganization Act of 1933 . The act would allow the President to reorganize the executive branch of the United States government . It was n't until later that summer when the new President , Franklin D. Roosevelt , made use of this power . Deputy Director Horace M. Albright had suggested to President Roosevelt that the historic sites from the American Civil War should be managed by the National Park Service , rather than the War Department . President Roosevelt agreed and issued two Executive orders to make it happen . These two executive orders not only transferred to the National Park Service all the War Department historic sites , but also the national monuments managed by the Department of Agriculture and the parks in and around the capital , which had been run by an independent office . In 1951 , Conrad Wirth became director of the National Park Service and went to work on bringing park facilities up to the standards that the public expected . The demand for parks after the end of the World War II had left the parks overburdened with demands that could not be met . In 1952 , with the support of President Dwight D. Eisenhower , he began Mission 66 , a ten - year effort to upgrade and expand park facilities for the 50th anniversary of the Park Service . New parks were added to preserve unique resources and existing park facilities were upgraded and expanded . In 1966 , as the Park Service turned 50 years old , emphasis began to turn from just saving great and wonderful scenery and unique natural features to making parks accessible to the public . Director George Hartzog began the process with the creation of the National Lakeshores and then National Recreation Areas . National parks ( edit ) Grand Canyon National Park , south rim of canyon . A National Park Service MD 900 helicopter NPS Preliminary Survey party , Great Smoky Mountains , 1931 Winter at the Gettysburg Battlefield Since its inception in 1916 , the National Park Service has managed each of the United States ' national parks , which have grown in number over the years to 59 . Yellowstone National Park was the first national park in the United States . In 1872 , there was no state government to manage it , so the federal government assumed direct control . Yosemite National Park began as a state park ; the land for the park was donated by the federal government to the state of California in 1864 for perpetual conservation . Yosemite was later returned to federal ownership . At first , each national park was managed independently , with varying degrees of success . In Yellowstone , the civilian staff was replaced by the U.S. Army in 1886 . Due to the irregularities in managing these national treasures , Stephen Mather petitioned the federal government to improve the situation . In response , Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane challenged him to lobby for creating a new agency , the National Park Service , to manage all national parks and some national monuments . Mather was successful with the ratification of the National Park Service Organic Act in 1916 . Later , the agency was given authority over other protected areas , many with varying designations as Congress created them .

See also : List of the United States National Park System official units and List of areas in the United States National Park System Further information : African - American Heritage Sites ( U.S. National Park Service ) , Hispanic Heritage Site , Native American Heritage Sites ( U.S. National Park Service ) , and Women 's History Sites ( U.S. National Park Service ) The National Park System ( NPS ) includes all properties managed by the National Park Service ( also , confusingly , `` NPS '' ) . The title or designation of a unit need not include the term park ; indeed , most do not . The System as a whole is considered to be a national treasure of the United States , and some of the more famous national parks and monuments are sometimes referred to metaphorically as `` crown jewels '' . The system encompasses approximately 84.4 million acres ( 338,000 km2 ) , of which more than 4.3 million acres ( 17,000 km2 ) remain in private ownership . The largest unit is Wrangell - St. Elias National Park and Preserve , Alaska . At 13,200,000 acres ( 53,000 km2 ) , it is over 16 percent of the entire system . The smallest unit in the system is Thaddeus Kosciuszko National Memorial , Pennsylvania , at 0.02 acre ( 80 m2 ) . In addition to administering its units and other properties , the National Park Service also provides technical and financial assistance to several `` affiliated areas '' authorized by Congress . The largest affiliated area is New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve at 1,164,025 acres ( 4711 km2 ) . The smallest is Benjamin Franklin National Memorial at less than 0.01 acres ( 40 m ) . Although all units of the National Park System in the United States are the responsibility of a single agency , they are all managed under individual pieces of authorizing legislation or , in the case of national monuments created under the Antiquities Act , presidential proclamation . For example , because of provisions within their enabling legislation , Congaree National Park is almost entirely wilderness area devoid of development , yet Yosemite allows unique developments such as the Badger Pass Ski Area and the O'Shaughnessy Dam within its boundaries . Death Valley National Park has an active mine legislated within its boundaries . Such irregularities would not be found in other parks unless specifically provided for with exceptions by the legislation that created them . Holdings ( edit ) For current specifics and a multitude of information , see the Quick Facts section of the NPS website . Type Amount Area of land 84,000,000 acres 340,000 km Area of oceans , lakes , reservoirs 4,502,644 acres 18,222 km Length of perennial rivers and streams 85,049 mi 136,873 km Archeological sites 68,561 Length of shoreline 43,162 mi 69,463 km Historic structures 27,000 Objects in museum collections 121,603,193 Buildings 21,000 Trails 12,250 mi 19,710 km Roads 8,500 mi 13,700 km Criteria ( edit ) Most units of the National Park Service have been established by an act of Congress , with the president confirming the action by signing the act into law . The exception , under the Antiquities Act , allows the president to designate and protect areas as National Monuments by executive order . Regardless of the method used , all parks are to be of national importance . A potential park should meet all four of the following standards : It is an outstanding example of a particular type of resource . It possesses exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the natural or cultural themes of our Nation 's heritage . It offers superlative opportunities for recreation , for public use and enjoyment , or for scientific study . It retains a high degree of integrity as a true , accurate , and relatively unspoiled example of the resource . Special designations ( edit ) Wilderness areas are covered by the US National Wilderness Preservation System , which protects federally managed lands that are of a pristine condition , established by the Wilderness Act ( Public Law 88 - 577 ) in 1964 . The National Wilderness Preservation System originally created hundreds of wilderness zones within already protected federally administered property , consisting of over 9 million acres ( 36,000 km2 ) . Marine Protected Areas ( MPAs ) began with Executive Order 13158 in May 2000 , when official MPAs were established for the first time . The initial listing of U.S. areas was presented in 2010 , consisting of areas already set aside under other legislation . The National Park Service has 19 park units designated as MPAs . See also : § International Affairs Budget ( edit ) See also : United States federal budget and United States budget process As of 2016 , the National Park Service has an annual budget of about $3 billion and an estimated $12 billion maintenance backlog . The National Park Services budget is divided into two primary areas , discretionary and mandatory spending . Within each of these areas , there are numerous specific purposes to which Congress directs the services activities . The budget of the National Park Service includes discretionary spending which is broken out into two portions : the direct operations of the National Parks and the special initiatives . Listed separately are the special initiatives of the service for the year specified in the legislation . For Fiscal Year 2010 , the service has been charged with five initiatives . They include : Stewardship and Education ; Professional Excellence ; Youth Programs ; Climate Impacts ; and Budget Restructure and Realignment . Discretionary spending ( edit ) NPS Operations of the National Parks budget from FY 2001 - FY 2006 Discretionary spending includes the Operations of the National Parks ( ONPS ) , from which all park operations are paid . The United States Park Police funds cover the high - profile law enforcement operations at some of the large parks ; i.e. , Gateway National Recreation Area , Golden Gate National Recreation Area , and the National Mall . The National Recreation and Preservation Program and the Urban Park and Recreation Fund are outreach programs to support state and local outdoor recreational activities . The ONPS section of the budget is divided into five operational areas . These areas include : Resource stewardship ( edit ) These are funds and people directed towards the restoration , preservation , and maintenance of natural and cultural resources . The resource staff includes biologists , geologists , archeologists , preservation specialists and a variety of specialized employees to restore and preserve cultural buildings or natural features . Visitor services ( edit ) Funds go towards providing for public programs and educational programs for the general public and school groups . This area is commonly staffed by park rangers , who are trained in providing walks , talks , and educational programs to the public . There is an increased number of media specialists , who provide for the exhibits along trails , roads and in visitor contact facilities , as well as the written brochures and web - sites . Park protection ( edit ) This includes the staff responding to visitor emergencies ( medical and criminal ) , and the protection of the park 's natural and cultural resources from damage by those persons visiting the park . The staff includes park rangers , park police , criminal investigators , and communication center operators . Facility maintenance and operations ( edit ) This is the cost of maintaining the necessary infrastructure within each park that supports all the services provided . It includes the plows and heavy equipment for road clearing , repairs and construction . There are buildings , trails , roads , docks , boats , utility pipes and wires , and a variety of hidden systems that make a park accessible by the public . The staff includes equipment operators , custodians , trail crews , electricians , plumbers , engineers , architects , and other building trade specialists . Park support ( edit ) This is the staff that provides for the routine logistical needs of the parks . There are human resource specialists , contracting officers , property specialists , budget managers , accountants and information technology specialists . External administrative costs ( edit ) These costs are bills that are paid directly to outside organizations as part of the logistical support needed to run the parks . It includes rent payments to the General Services Administration for building space ; postage payments to the postal machine vendor , and other direct payments . Functional area FY 2010 ( in thousands ) % of total Resource stewardship $347,328 15.3 % Visitor services $247,386 10.9 % Park protection $368,698 16.3 % Facility maintenance and operations $705,220 31.1 % Park support $441,854 19.5 % External administrative costs $155,530 6.9 % Total ( 2010 ) $2,266,016 Park partnerships ( edit ) These funds support the use of partnerships to achieve park preservation. 25 million dollars have been provided for FY 2010 . These funds require matching grants from individuals , foundations , businesses , and the private sector . Land and water Conservation Fund ( LWCF ) ( edit ) The LWCF supports Land Acquisition and State Conservation Assistance grant programs . The 2010 funds are the beginning of an incremental process to fully fund LWCF programs at $900 million . The Department of the Interior and the U.S. Forest Service use these funds to purchase critical lands to protect existing public lands . Grants will be made to states and local communities to preserve and protect Civil War battlefield sites that are not part of the national park system . The NPS State Conservation Assistance program distributes funding to States for land preservation . Construction ( edit ) This segment of the budget provides for the construction of new facilities or the replacement of aging and unsafe facilities . Additionally , there are funds in the recreation fees , park roads funding , and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that provide for other specific facilities / infrastructure work . Additional funds come from the Federal Land Highway Administration for the construction and repair of Park roads . Historic preservation Fund ( edit ) As the nation 's leader in cultural preservation , funds are provided for a variety of programs to meet these needs nationwide . Two specific programs include the Save America 's Treasures and the Preserve America . The Historic Preservation Offices makes grants available to the States , territories , and tribal lands . National Recreation and preservation ( edit ) These funds go to local communities to preserve natural and cultural resources . Among the programs supported are the Rivers , Trails , and Conservation Assistance programs that promote community links to parks , natural resource conservation and outdoor recreation across America . Offsetting reductions and fixed costs in various accounts ( edit ) Within this category are a number of one - time events , which are added or removed as the events require . Notably in the FY 2009 and FY 2010 is the removal of the costs for the presidential inaugural . Other savings are identified through reduced operational costs from energy - efficient retro - fitting and the demolition of structures beyond repair . American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ( edit ) Otherwise known as `` stimulus funds , '' the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides funds to restore and preserve major infrastructures within the national parks . Great Lakes restoration Initiative ( edit ) The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative , is a $475.0 million proposal included in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency budget . The park service will participate through the EPA in restoration activities in those parks that are within the watershed of the Great Lakes . Activities will include such actions as removal of dumps and fuel spills . Park will monitor mercury , lead , DDT , and other contaminants in six parks on the Great Lakes . Work also includes the removal of invasive species and education on how to prevent their spread . There are YouTube videos about the work being done in this field . Mandatory spending ( edit ) Mandatory appropriations are those items created by other congressional legislation that must be paid for . They include the Recreational Fee Demonstration Program , which requires the distribution and expenditure of fees collected by the National Park Service . Other Permanent Appropriations includes special funding categories to non-profit and state entities , which have been assigned to the National Park Service to manage . Miscellaneous Trust Funds includes funding sources that have been created by the federal government or private citizen , where the National Park Service or a specific park have been identified as the beneficiaries . And there is also the L&WCF Contract Authority which is the Land and Water Conservation Fund , a congressionally created source of revenues , managed by the National Park Service . Employees and volunteers ( edit ) Annually , the NPS employs over 20,000 Americans with an additional 221,000 Volunteers - In - Parks who contribute about 6.4 million hours annually . Economic benefits ( edit ) According to a 2011 Michigan State University report prepared for the NPS , for each $1 invested in the NPS , the American public receives $4 in economic value . In 2011 , national parks generated $30.1 billion in economic activity and 252,000 jobs nationwide . Thirteen billion of that amount went directly into communities within 60 miles of a NPS unit . Nomenclature ( edit ) The National Park Service uses over 20 different titles for the park units it manages , including national park and national monument . Classification as of 2009 Number Area Visitors National Military Park , National Battlefield Park , National Battlefield Site , and National Battlefield 25 71,502.49 acres ( 289 km ) 8,360,261 National Historical Park , National Historic Site , and International Historic Site 125 228,260.60 acres ( 924 km ) 34,407,217 National Lakeshore 228,995.14 acres ( 927 km ) 3,728,821 National Memorial 29 10,588.45 acres ( 43 km ) 30,559,258 National Monument 79 2,027,864.58 acres ( 8,206 km ) 22,646,428 National Park 59 52,095,045.71 acres ( 210,821 km ) 62,950,968 National Parkway 177,339.69 acres ( 718 km ) 29,948,911 National Preserve and National Reserve 20 24,191,311.63 acres ( 97,899 km ) 2,956,325 National Recreation Area 18 3,700,277.20 acres ( 14,974 km ) 50,645,414 National River and National Wild and Scenic River and Riverway 15 746,262.99 acres ( 3,020 km ) 5,999,161 National Scenic Trail 239,659.27 acres ( 970 km ) not available National Seashore 10 595,013.55 acres ( 2,408 km ) 17,920,507 Other Designations ( White House , National Mall , etc . ) 11 36,826.96 acres ( 149 km ) 11,156,670 Totals 401 84,331,948.26 acres ( 341,279 km ) 320,309,151 National parks of the United States Acadia American Samoa Arches Badlands Big Bend Biscayne Black Canyon of the Gunnison Bryce Canyon Canyonlands Capitol Reef Carlsbad Caverns Channel Islands Congaree Crater Lake Cuyahoga Valley Death Valley Denali Dry Tortugas Everglades Gates of the Arctic Glacier Glacier Bay Grand Canyon Grand Teton Great Basin Great Sand Dunes Great Smoky Mountains Guadalupe Mountains Haleakalā Hawaiʻi Volcanoes Hot Springs Isle Royale Joshua Tree Katmai Kenai Fjords Kings Canyon Kobuk Valley Lake Clark Lassen Volcanic Mammoth Cave Mesa Verde Mount Rainier North Cascades Olympic Petrified Forest Pinnacles Redwood Rocky Mountain Saguaro Sequoia Shenandoah Theodore Roosevelt Virgin Islands Voyageurs Wind Cave Wrangell -- St. Elias Yellowstone Yosemite Zion List of national parks of the United States ( by elevation ) National Parks preserve nationally and globally significant scenic areas and nature reserves .

Examples of these types of parks include Ford 's Theatre National Historic Site and William Howard Taft National Historic Site . National Historical Parks are larger areas with more complex subjects . Appomattox Court House National Historical Park was created in 1940 . George Rogers Clark National Historical Park was dedicated in 1936 . Historic sites may also be protected in national parks , monuments , seashores , and lakeshores . National Military Parks , Battlefield Parks , Battlefield Sites , and Battlefields preserve areas associated with military history . The different designations reflect the complexity of the event and the site . Many of the sites preserve important Revolutionary War battles and Civil War battlefields . Military parks are the sites of larger actions , such as Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park , Vicksburg National Military Park , Gettysburg National Military Park , and Shiloh National Military Park -- the original four from 1890 . Examples of battlefield parks , battlefield sites , and national battlefields include Richmond National Battlefield Park , Brices Cross Roads National Battlefield Site , and Antietam National Battlefield .

Cape Hatteras National Seashore was created in 1937 . Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore , created in 1966 , were the first national lakeshores . National Rivers and Wild and Scenic Riverways protect free - flowing streams over their length . The riverways may not be altered with dams , channelization , or other changes . Recreational pursuits are encouraged along the waterways . Ozark National Scenic Riverways was established in 1964 .

Many of these areas are managed under cooperative agreement with the National Park Service . Now some national recreation areas are in urban centers , because of the recommendations of a Presidential commission , the Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission ( ORRRC ) . These include Gateway National Recreation Area and Golden Gate National Recreation Area , which encompass significant cultural as well as natural resources .

The system was created in 1968 and consists of two major components : National Scenic Trails are long - distance trails through some of the most scenic parts of the country . They received official protection in 1968 . The Appalachian Trail and the Continental Divide Trail are the best known . National Historic Trails commemorate the routes of major historic events . Some of the best known are the Trail of Tears , the Mormon Trail , and the Santa Fe Trail . These trails are administered by several federal agencies . National Preserves are for the protection of certain resources . Activities like hunting , fishing , and some mining are allowed . Big Cypress National Preserve and Big Thicket National Preserve were created in 1974 as the first national preserves . National Reserves are similar to national preserves , but the operational authority can be placed with a local government . New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve was the first to be established in 1978 . Visitors ( edit ) The National Park System receives over 280 million visits each year throughout the 413 units , with over 307 million visitors in 2015 . Park visitation ( recreational only ) grew 64 percent between 1979 and 2015 . The 10 most - visited units of the National Park System handle over 28 percent of the visits to the 413 park units . The top 10 percent of parks ( 41 ) handle 62.8 percent of all visits , leaving the remaining 372 units to accommodate 37.2 percent of visits .

Facilities Among facilities , the park Visitor Centers obtain a consistent 70 % very good rating ( 73 % in 2007 ) . Youth programs ( edit ) The National Park Service offers a variety of youth oriented programs . They range from the Web Ranger on - line program to many programs in each National Park Unit . The primary work opportunities for youth are through the Youth Corp networks . The oldest serving group is the Student Conservation Association ( SCA ) . It was established in 1957 , committed to conservation and preservation . The SCA 's goal is to create the next generation of conservation leaders . SCA volunteers work through internships , conservation jobs , and crew experiences . Volunteers conduct resource management , historic preservation , cultural resources and conservation programs to gain experience , which can lead to career development and further educational opportunities . The SCA places volunteers in more than 350 national park units and NPS offices each year . The Corps Network , formerly known as the National Association for Service and Corps ( NASCC ) , represents 136 Service and Conservation Corps . These groups have programs in 42 states and the District of Columbia . Corpsmembers are between the ages of 16 -- 25 . Service and Conservation Corps are direct descendants of the Civilian Conservation Corps ( CCC ) of the 1930s that built park facilities in the national parks and other public parks around the country . The Corps Network was established in 1985 . Youth Conservation Corps ( ages 15 -- 18 ) The Youth Conservation Corps ( YCC ) , bring young people into a park to restore , preserve and protect a natural , cultural , or historical resources . Enrollees are paid for their work . Public Land Corps ( ages 16 -- 25 ) The Public Land Corps ( PLC ) is a job helping to restore , protect , and rehabilitate a local national parks . The enrollees learn about environmental issues and the park . A dozen non-profit . Programs for Boy Scouts ( ages 7 -- 18 ) The National Park Service works with the Boy Scouts of America . Members can become a Scout Ranger and earn a patch . The Service formerly participated every four years at the BSA Jamboree at Fort A.P. Hill , Virginia . Many scouts have completed their Eagle projects in a National Park helping preserve the resources , while furthering the scouting experience . Programs for Girl Scouts ( ages 5 -- 18 ) Girl Scouts can become a Girl Scout Ranger and earn a patch . The National Park Service works with Girl Scout Troops through their Linking Girls to the Land . Accessibility ( edit ) Access Pass The Access Pass offers free , lifetime admission to federal areas of the National Park Service , Bureau of Land Management , U.S. Army Corps of Engineers , U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service , U.S. Forest Service , and Tennessee Valley Authority . Service Animals Service animals are allowed in all facilities and on most trails , with the exceptions of stock trails and areas closed by the superintendent to protect park resources . Service animals must always be leashed . Service animals in training and pets are subject to other park regulations . When traveling with an animal , carry water , and allow for stops . Dispose of pet feces in a trash bin . Camping The National Park System offers numerous accessible camping opportunities . In over 120 units , campgrounds have sites specifically designed for tent camper accessibility . Special camp sites are located near restrooms with paved walkways to and from the restroom and water sources . Sites have hardened tenting sites that provide for easy access , but allow for tents to be erected on soil . Many additional units have pull - through trailer sites , providing for motorized use , but may have limited access to the rest of the campground facilities . Trails Many National Park units have fully accessible trails . Visitors should check the park 's web - site to insure that the trail is designed to meet their individual needs . Trails may have a compacted gravel surface , paved with asphalt , or a board walk . Many will have guardrails , others may have a ridge along the edge , detectable by the visually impaired using a cane and capable of stopping a wheelchair . Many have no detectable edge when there is a stable surface . Vistas Parks that are known for their scenic vistas make them available through a variety of designs . Paved overlooks with accessible parking is the most common , and not always identified in written material . Road designs are configured to provide for mountain and landscape vistas from a vehicle . Additional information at `` The Disabled Traveler 's Companion '' . Concessions ( edit ) In an effort to increase visitation and allow for a larger audience to enjoy national park land , the National Park Service has numerous concession contracts with private businesses to bring recreation , resorts and other compatible amenities to their parks . NPS lodging opportunities exist at places such as the Wawona Hotel in Yosemite National Park and the Fort Baker Retreat and Conference Center in Golden Gate National Recreation Area . Adaptive reuses like those at Fort Baker , have raised some controversy from concerns about the historical integrity of these buildings , after extensive renovations and whether such alterations fall within the spirit and / or the letter of the preservation laws they are protected by . Delaware North Corporation at Yosemite National Park , Yellowstone National Park Forever Resorts at Big Bend National Park , Blue Ridge Parkway , Badlands National Park , North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park , Olympic National Park , Lake Mead National Recreation Area , Mammoth Cave National Park , Isle Royale National Park , and Rocky Mountain National Park . Xanterra Parks & Resorts at Bryce Canyon National Park , Crater Lake National Park , Death Valley National Park , South Rim Grand Canyon National Park , Mount Rushmore National Memorial , Painted Desert at Petrified Forest National Park , Yellowstone National Park , and Zion National Park . Litigation with Delaware North ( edit ) In 2015 , Delaware North sued the NPS in the United States Court of Claims for breach of contract , alleging that the NPS had undervalued its trademarks of the names of iconic Yosemite National Park concession facilities . When it offered for bid the contract to operate these facilities , the National Park Service estimated the value of the intangible assets including the names `` Ahwahnee , '' `` Badger Pass , '' `` Curry Village , '' and `` Yosemite Lodge '' at $3.5 million . Delaware North lost the contract , and asserted that the historic names were worth $51 million and maintained that the incoming concessioner had to be paid that amount . The Justice Department and the NPS asserted that this was an `` improper and wildly inflated '' value . Rather than pay Delaware North 's demanded valuation , in January 2016 the NPS instead opted to rename the famous landmarks , effective in March . The Ahwahnee Hotel is slated to become The Majestic Yosemite Hotel , Curry Village will become Half Dome Village , and the Wawona Hotel will become Big Trees Lodge . Widespread public outcry focused on Delaware North 's decision to claim ownership of names within a national park . Bookstores ( edit ) At many Park Service sites a bookstore is operated by a non-profit cooperating association . The largest example is Eastern National , which runs bookstores in 30 states with 178 stores . Eastern National Western National Park Association Park specific : Crater Lake Natural History Association Cuyahoga Valley National Park Association Devils Tower Natural History Association Bookstore Kennesaw Mountain Historical Association Oregon Caves Natural History Association Yellowstone Association Yosemite Conservancy Publisher of National Parks Interpretive Books Books written by individual National Park interpreters or experts on specific parks are published for each park by KC Publications . Offices ( edit ) Main article : Organization of the National Park Service Depicts twelve figures , most in NPS uniforms , shown in occupations from left to right : a lifeguard , a Civil War reenactor , fire management , mounted patrol , researcher and / or natural resources with fish , a female ranger with two visitors , a laborer , a climber / rescuer , and a youth with a male ranger . Headquarters are located in Washington , D.C. , with regional offices in Anchorage , Atlanta , Lakewood , CO ( Denver ) , Omaha , NE , Philadelphia , San Francisco and Seattle . The headquarters building of the National Park Service Southwest Regional Office is architecturally significant and is designated a National Historic Landmark . The National Park Service is a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Interior . The Director is nominated by the President of the United States and confirmed by the U.S. Senate . The Director is supported by six senior executives . They manage national programs , policy , and budget from the Washington , DC , headquarters . Under the Deputy Director of Operations are seven regional directors , who are responsible for national park management and program implementation . Together this group is called the National Leadership Council . The national office is located in the Main Interior Building , 1849 C Street NW , several blocks southwest of the White House . The central office is composed of eleven directorates : Director / Deputy Directors ; Business Services ; Workforce Management ; Chief Information Officer ; Cultural Resources ; Natural Resource Stewardship and Science ; Office of the Comptroller ; Park Planning , Facilities , and Lands ; Partnerships and Visitor Experience ; Visitor and Resource Protection ; and the United States Park Police . Staff and volunteers ( edit ) Employees ( edit ) By the mid-1950s , the primary employees of the Service were the Park Rangers , who had broad responsibilities on the parks ' behalf . They cleaned up trash , operated heavy equipment , fought fires , managed traffic , cleared trails and roads , provided information to visitors , managed museums , performed rescues , flew aircraft , and investigated crime . The National Park Service employs many kinds of workers , as shown below . National Park Service Ranger Interpreter Law enforcement Park management ( Superintendent / Deputy ) United States Park Police Emergency management ( Emergency medical providers , search and rescue specialists ) Dispatchers Maintenance ( including carpenters , plumbers , masons , laborers , auto mechanics , motor vehicle operators , heavy equipment operators , electricians ) Park planning Architects , Engineers , and Landscape architects Resource management ( including archeologist , biologist , botanist , aquatics , soil scientist , geologist ) History ( curators , historians , preservation technicians , historic architects , archivists ) Fire management ( managers , weather specialist , firefighters , engine captains , crew superintendents , battalion chiefs ) See also : Wildfire Public Affairs Administration ( human resources , finance , accountants , information technology , budgeting , concessions management ) National Park Service employment levels . Executives : abt 27 ; Gen Sch : 16 -- 17,000 ; Others : 6 -- 7,000 Locations are varied . Parks exist in the nation 's larger cities like New York City ( Federal Hall Memorial National Historic Site ) , Atlanta ( Martin Luther King , Jr . National Historic Site ) , and San Diego ( Cabrillo National Monument ) to some of the remotest areas of the continent like Hovenweep National Monument in southeastern Utah , to Aniakchak National Monument in King Salmon , Alaska . Volunteers - in - parks ( vip ) ( edit ) The Volunteers - In - Parks program was authorized in 1969 by the Volunteers in the Parks Act of 1969 . for the purpose of allowing the public to serve in the nations parks providing support and skills for their enhancement and protection . Volunteers come from all walks of life and include professionals , artists , laborers , homemakers and students , performing varied duties . Many come from surrounding communities and some travel significant distances . In a 2005 annual report , the National Park Service reported that , ... 137,000 VIPs contributed 5.2 million hours of service ( or 2500 FTEs ) valued at $91,260,000 based on the private sector value figure of $17.55 as used by AARP , Points of Light Foundation , and other large - scale volunteer programs including many federal agencies . There are 365 separate volunteer programs throughout the National Park Service . Since 1990 , the number of volunteers has increased an average of 2 % per year . FTE stands for Full Time Equivalency or 1 work year . In 2012 , the National Park Service reported that over 221,000 volunteers contributed about 6.4 million hours annually . Additionally , other types of volunteers also conduct offsite NPS public outreach and education , such as the Trails & Rails program guides on board certain segments of long - haul Amtrak routes , who offer passengers insights to the travel area 's natural resources and heritage . Artist - In - Residence Across the nation , there are special opportunities for artists ( visual artists , photographers , sculptors , performers , writers , composers , and crafts ) to live and work in a park . Twenty - nine parks currently participate in the Artist - In - Residence program . Law enforcement ( edit ) National Park Service patrol boat at Rock Harbor , Isle Royale National Park The National Park Service commonly refers to law enforcement operations in the agency as Visitor and Resource Protection . There are several different types of law enforcement employees including Type I and Type II Law Enforcement Rangers and Special Agents . The United States Park Police is a unit of the National Park Service , with jurisdiction in all National Park Service areas and certain other Federal and State lands . Most Law Enforcement Rangers , Park Police Officers , and Special Agents Receive their training through Federal Law Enforcement Training Center ( FLETC ) . Type II Law Enforcement Rangers receive their training through FLETC accredited Seasonal Law Enforcement Academies . Jurisdiction ( edit ) There are several types of National Park Service jurisdiction . Jurisdiction is set by the enabling legislation for each individual unit of the NPS and is considered part of the Special Maritime and Territorial Jurisdiction of the United States . Law enforcement on NPS lands with exclusive jurisdiction is solely conducted by NPS Law Enforcement Rangers ( field officers ) or the US Park Police . Many NPS units have concurrent jurisdiction and share law enforcement authority with their state and / or local county law enforcement agencies . Some National Park Service units have proprietary or partial jurisdiction where law enforcement authority for certain serious incidents lies with the state or county . Most NPS units have memorandums of understanding with outside law enforcement agencies , so that policies are in place when and if outside agency assistance is needed . NPS Photo of Badge worn by Chief Park Rangers Law enforcement Rangers ( edit ) Uniformed Law Enforcement Rangers , Park Police Officers and Special Agents enforce Federal laws and regulations governing NPS lands and resources . These personnel can also enforce some or all state laws on NPS lands . As part of that mission , LEOs carry firearms , defensive equipment , make arrests , execute search warrants , complete reports and testify in court . They establish a regular and recurring presence on a vast amount of public lands , roads , and recreation sites . The primary focus of their jobs is the protection of natural resources , protection of NPS employees and the protection of visitors . To cover the vast and varied terrain under their jurisdiction , NPS employees use numerous types of vehicles , horses , aircraft , UTV / ATV 's , snowmobiles , dirt bikes and boats . Special Agents ( edit ) Special Agents are criminal investigators who plan and conduct investigations concerning possible violations of criminal and administrative provisions of the NPS and other statues under the United States Code and / or Code of Federal Regulations . Special agents can be uniformed or plain clothes officers . Special Agents often carry concealed firearms , and other defensive equipment , make arrests , carry out complex criminal investigations , present cases for prosecution to U.S. Attorneys , and prepare investigative reports . Field agents travel a great deal and typically cover several NPS units and several states . Criminal investigators occasionally conduct internal and civil claim investigations . Laws enforced ( edit ) Generally speaking the laws enforced on NPS lands are covered in Title 36 Code of Federal Regulations . The NPS also enforces United States Code . Title 16 of the United States Code , Title 18 of the United States Code and Title 21 of the United States Code are enforced most commonly . The National Park Service generally also has the authority to enforce any state law not covered already by federal laws under the Assimilative Crimes Act , 18 U.S.C. § 13 . However , by policy the National Park Service can not charge violators with a state offense that has a harsher penalty than an equivalent federal law already on the books . Commissioned National Park Service employees must follow all policies outlined in DOI reference manuals and directors orders in performance of their duties . Badge worn by USPP Officers United States Park Police ( edit ) Main article : United States Park Police The United States Park Police ( USPP ) is the oldest uniformed federal law enforcement agency in the United States . It functions as a full service law enforcement agency with responsibilities and jurisdiction in those National Park Service areas primarily located in the Washington , D.C. , San Francisco , and New York City areas . In addition to performing the normal crime prevention , investigation , and apprehension functions of an urban police force , the Park Police are responsible for policing many of the famous monuments in the United States and share law enforcement jurisdiction in all lands administered by the Service with a force of National Park Rangers tasked with the same law enforcement powers and responsibilities . Special divisions ( edit ) Historic Preservation Training Center Other special NPS divisions include the Archeology Program , Historic American Buildings Survey , National Register of Historic Places , National Natural Landmarks , the Rivers , Trails and Conservation Assistance Program , the Challenge Cost Share Program , the Federal Lands to Parks , the Hydropower Relicensing Program , the Land and Water Conservation Fund , the National Trails System , the Partnership Wild and Scenic Rivers Program , and the Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division . Centers The National Park Service operates four archeology - related centers : Harpers Ferry Center in Harpers Ferry , West Virginia , the Midwest Archeological Center in Lincoln , Nebraska , the Southeast Archeological Center in Tallahassee , Florida and the Western Archeological and Conservation Center in Tucson , Arizona . The Harpers Ferry Center specializes in interpretive media development and object conservation . The other three focus to various degrees on archaeological research and museum object curation and conservation . National Park Service training centers include : Horace Albright Training Center , Grand Canyon ; Stephen Mather Training Center , Harpers Ferry , West Virginia ; Historic Preservation Training Center , Frederick , Maryland and Capital Training Center , Washington , D.C. The Submerged Resources Center is the unit responsible for inventory and evaluation of submerged resources throughout the National Park system . The SRC is based out of the Intermountain Region 's headquarters in Lakewood , Colorado . The National Center for Preservation Technology and Training , located in Natchitoches , Louisiana , conducts research and training in the fields of archeology , architecture , landscape architecture and materials conservation . Preservation programs ( HABS / HAER ) Photograph of El Santuario Del Señor Esquipula , Chimayo , New Mexico LaSalle Street Bridge , Chicago , Illinois The oldest federal preservation program , the Historic American Buildings Survey / Historic American Engineering Record ( HABS / HAER ) , produces graphic and written documentation of historically significant architectural , engineering and industrial sites and structures . Dating from 1934 , the Historic American Buildings Survey ( HABS ) was chartered to document historic architecture -- primarily houses and public buildings -- of national or regional significance . Originally a New Deal employment / preservation program , after World War II , HABS employed summer teams of advanced undergraduate and graduate students to carry out the documentation , a tradition followed to this day . Many of the structures they documented no longer exist . HABS / HAER produces measured drawings , large - format photographs and written histories of historic sites , structures and objects , that are significant to the architectural , engineering and industrial heritage of the U.S. Its 25,000 records are part of the Library of Congress . HABS / HAER is administered by the NPS Washington office and five regional offices . Historic American Buildings Survey In 1933 , the National Park Service , Department of the Interior , established the Historic American Buildings Survey ( HABS ) , based on a proposal by Charles E. Peterson , Park Service landscape architect . It was founded as a make - work program for architects , draftsmen and photographers left jobless by the Great Depression . Guided by field instructions from Washington , D.C. , the first recorders were tasked with documenting a representative sampling of America 's architectural heritage . After 70 years , there is now an archive of historic architecture . HABS provided a database of primary source material for the then fledgling historic preservation movement . Historic American Engineering Record Recognizing a similar fragility in our national industrial and engineering heritage , the National Park Service , the Library of Congress and the American Society of Civil Engineers ( ASCE ) formed the HAER program in 1969 , to document nationally and regionally significant engineering and industrial sites . A short while later , HAER was ratified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers ( ASME ) , the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers ( IEEE ) , the American Institute of Chemical Engineers ( AIChE ) and the American Institute of Mining , Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers ( AIME ) . HAER documentation , in the forms of measured and interpretive drawings , large - format photographs and written histories , is archivally preserved in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress , where it is readily available to the public . Rivers , Trails and Conservation Assistance Program The RTCA program of the National Park Service is designed to assist local communities and the public in preservation of rivers , trails and greenways . Unlike the mainline National Park Programs , these programs take place on non-federal property at the request of the local community . One of their better known programs is Rails to Trails , where unused railroad right - of - ways are converted into public hiking and biking trails . National Trails System The National Trails System is a joint mission of the National Park Service , the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service . It was created in 1968 to establish a system of long - distance National Scenic and National Historic Trails , as well as to recognize existing trails in the states as National Recreation Trails . Several additional trails have been established since 1968 , and in 2009 Congress established the first National Geologic Trail . National Heritage Areas National Heritage Areas are a unique blend of natural , cultural , historic , and scenic resources . Having developed out of a shared historic , they create a unique whole . Currently ( 2015 ) there are 49 designated heritage areas . International affairs ( edit ) World Heritage Sites Main article : World Heritage Site World Heritage Sites have enough universally recognized natural and cultural features that they are considered to merit the protection of all the peoples in the world . The National Park Service is responsible for 16 of the 19 World Heritage Sites in the United States . Carlsbad Caverns National Park , New Mexico Chaco Culture National Historical Park , New Mexico Everglades National Park , Florida Grand Canyon National Park , Arizona Great Smoky Mountains National Park , Tennessee and North Carolina Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park , Hawaii Independence Hall , Pennsylvania Kluane / Wrangell - St. Elias / Glacier Bay / Tatshenshini - Alsek Park , Alaska , U.S. / B.C. & Yukon , Canada Mammoth Cave , Kentucky Mesa Verde National Park , Colorado Olympic National Park , Washington Redwood National and State Parks , California Statue of Liberty , New York Waterton - Glacier International Peace Park ( union of Waterton Lakes ( Canada ) and Glacier ( U.S. ) parks ) , Montana & Alberta , Canada Yellowstone National Park , Wyoming , extending into Montana and Idaho Yosemite National Park , California Initiatives ( edit ) 24 - hr all Taxa BioBlitz : A joint venture of the National Geographic Society and the National Park Service . Beginning in 2004 , at Rock Creek Parkway , the National Geographic Society and the National Park Service began a 10 - year program of hosting a major biological survey of ten selected national park units . The intent is to develop public interest in the nations natural resources , develop scientific interest in America 's youth and to create citizen scientist . 2007 : Rock Creek Park , Washington D.C. 661 species 2008 : Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area , Los Angeles , California . 1,700 species and more pending . 2009 : Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore , near Chicago in northern Indiana . 1,716 species and still counting . 2010 : Biscayne National Park , Miami , Florida . 810 species were identified during this 24 - hr event . As classification continues , more species will be added to the list . 2011 : Saguaro National Park , Tucson , Arizona . During the 24 - hours , 859 different species were identified , of which more than 400 were previously unknown in the park . 2012 : Rocky Mountain National Park , in Estes Park , In August 2012 489 species were identified . 2013 : Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve , in New Orleans . The BioBlitz will occur on May 17 and 18 , 2013 in the park 's Barataria Preserve . Biological Diversity : Biological Diversity is the vast variety of life as identified through species and genetics . This variety is decreasing as people spread across the globe , altering areas to better meet their needs . Climate Change : Warming of the climate system is unequivocal , as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures , widespread melting of snow and ice , and rising global sea levels . ( Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change , 2007 ) . South Florida Restoration Initiative : Rescuing an Ecosystem in Peril : In partnership with the State of Florida , and the Army Corps of Engineers , the National Park Service is restoring the physical and biological processes of the South Florida ecosystem . Historically , this ecosystem contained some of the most diverse habitats on earth . Vanishing Treasures Initiative : Ruins Preservation in the American Southwest : The Vanishing Treasures Initiative began in FY 1998 to reduce threats to prehistoric and historic sites and structures in 44 parks of the Intermountain Region . In 2002 , the program expanded to include three parks in the Pacific West Region . The goal is to reduce backlogged work and to bring sites and structures up to a condition where routine maintenance activities can preserve them . Wetlands : Wetlands includes marshes , swamps , and bogs . These areas and the plants and animals adapted to these conditions spread from the arctic to the equator . The shrinking wetlands provide habitat for fish and wildlife , help clean water and reduce the impact of storms and floods on the surrounding communities . Wildland Fire : Fires have been a natural part of park eco-systems . Many plants and some animals require a cycle of fire or flooding to be successful and productive . With the advent of human intervention and public access to parks , there are safety concerns for the visiting public . Green Park Plan ( edit ) In September 2010 , the NPS released its Climate Change Response Strategy , followed in April 2012 by the Green Parks Plan . Climate Friendly parks program ( edit ) The Climate Friendly Parks Program is a subset of the Green Parks plan . It was created in collaboration between the National Park Service and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency . The program is meant to measure and reduce greenhouse gases to help slow the effects of climate change . Parks in the CFP program create and implement plans to reduce greenhouse gases through reducing energy and water use . Facilities are designed and retrofitted using sustainable materials . Alternative transportation systems are developed to reduce dependency on fossil fuels . Parks in the program offer public education programs about how the parks are already affected . The program provides climate friendly solutions to the visiting public , like using clean energy , reducing waste , and making smart transportation choices . The CFP program can provide technical assistance , tools and resources for the parks and their neighboring communities to protect the natural and cultural resources . The large , isolated parks typically generate their own electricity and heat and must do so without spoiling the values that the visitors have come to experience . Pollution is emitted by the vehicles used to transport visitors around the often - vast expanses of the parks . Many parks have converted vehicles to electric hybrids , and substitute diesel / electric hybrid buses for private automobiles . In 2001 it was estimated that replacement with electric vehicles would eliminate 25 TPY emissions entirely . In 2010 , the National Park Service estimated that reducing bottled water could eliminate 6,000 tons of carbon emissions and 8 million kilowatt hours of electricity every year . The NPS Concessions office voiced concerns about concessions impacts . By 2014 , 23 parks had banned disposable water bottles . In 2015 , the International Bottled Water Association stated the NPS was `` leaving sugary drinks as a primary alternative '' , even though the Park Service provides water stations to refill bottles , `` encouraging visitors to hydrate for free . '' The Water Association made the national parks one of its top lobbying targets and in July 2015 Rep. Keith Rothfus added a `` last - minute '' amendment into Congress 's appropriations bill , blocking the National Park Service from funding or enforcing the program . The National Park Service discontinued its ban on disposable water bottles in August 2017 .

History of gravitational theory

History of gravitational theory - wikipedia History of gravitational theory In physics , theories of gravitation postulate mechanisms of interaction governing the movements of bodies with mass . There have been numerous theories of gravitation since ancient times . Contents 1 Antiquity 1.1 Greece 1.2 India 2 Modern era 2.1 Newton 's theory of gravitation 2.2 Mechanical explanations of gravitation 2.3 General relativity 2.4 Gravity and quantum mechanics 3 See also 4 References Antiquity ( edit ) See also : Aristotelian physics Greece ( edit ) In the 4th century BC , the Greek philosopher Aristotle believed that there is no effect or motion without a cause . The cause of the downward motion of heavy bodies , such as the element earth , was related to their nature , which caused them to move downward toward the center of the universe , which was their natural place . Conversely , light bodies such as the element fire , move by their nature upward toward the inner surface of the sphere of the Moon . Thus in Aristotle 's system heavy bodies are not attracted to the Earth by an external force of gravity , but tend toward the center of the universe because of an inner gravitas or heaviness . In Book VII of his De Architectura , the Roman engineer and architect Vitruvius contends that gravity is not dependent on a substance 's `` weight '' but rather on its `` nature '' ( cf . specific gravity ) . If the quicksilver is poured into a vessel , and a stone weighing one hundred pounds is laid upon it , the stone swims on the surface , and can not depress the liquid , nor break through , nor separate it . If we remove the hundred pound weight , and put on a scruple of gold , it will not swim , but will sink to the bottom of its own accord . Hence , it is undeniable that the gravity of a substance depends not on the amount of its weight , but on its nature . India ( edit ) Aryabhata first identified the force to explain why objects do not fall when the Earth rotates , and developed a geocentric solar system of gravitation , with an eccentric elliptical model of the planets , where the planets spin on their axes and follow elliptical orbits , the Sun and the Moon revolving around the Earth in epicycles . Indian astronomer and mathematician Brahmagupta described gravity as an attractive force and used the term `` gurutvākarṣaṇ '' for gravity . Al Hamdānī and Al Biruni quote Brahmagupta saying `` Disregarding this , we say that the earth on all its sides is the same ; all people on the earth stand upright , and all heavy things fall down to the earth by a law of nature , for it is the nature of the earth to attract and to keep things , as it is the nature of water to flow , that of fire to burn , and that of the wind to set in motion . If a thing wants to go deeper down than the earth , let it try . The earth is the only low thing , and seeds always return to it , in whatever direction you may throw them away , and never rise upwards from the earth . '' Modern era ( edit ) 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 . ( August 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) During the 17th century , Galileo found that , counter to Aristotle 's teachings , all objects tend to accelerate equally when falling . The relation of the distance of objects in free fall to the square of the time taken was confirmed by Grimaldi and Riccioli between 1640 and 1650 . They also made a calculation of the gravitational constant by recording the oscillations of a pendulum . In the late 17th century , as a result of Robert Hooke 's suggestion that there is a gravitational force which depends on the inverse square of the distance , Isaac Newton was able to mathematically derive Kepler 's three kinematic laws of planetary motion , including the elliptical orbits for the six then known planets and the Moon : `` I deduced that the forces which keep the planets in their orbs must be reciprocally as the squares of their distances from the centres about which they revolve , and thereby compared the force requisite to keep the moon in her orb with the force of gravity at the surface of the earth and found them to answer pretty nearly . '' -- Isaac Newton , 1666 So Newton 's original formula was : F o r c e o f g r a v i t y ∝ m a s s o f o b j e c t 1 × m a s s o f o b j e c t 2 d i s t a n c e f r o m c e n t e r s 2 ( \ displaystyle ( \ rm ( Force \ , of \ , gravity ) ) \ propto ( \ frac ( \ rm ( mass \ , of \ , object \ , 1 \ , \ times \ , mass \ , of \ , object \ , 2 ) ) ( \ rm ( distance \ , from \ , centers ^ ( 2 ) ) ) ) ) where the symbol ∝ ( \ displaystyle \ propto ) means `` is proportional to '' . To make this into an equal - sided formula or equation , there needed to be a multiplying factor or constant that would give the correct force of gravity no matter the value of the masses or distance between them . This gravitational constant was first measured in 1797 by Henry Cavendish . In 1907 Albert Einstein , in what was described by him as `` the happiest thought of my life '' , realized that an observer who is falling from the roof of a house experiences no gravitational field . In other words , gravitation was exactly equivalent to acceleration . Between 1911 and 1915 this idea , initially stated as the equivalence principle , was formally developed into Einstein 's theory of general relativity . Newton 's theory of gravitation ( edit ) Main article : Law of universal gravitation In 1687 , English mathematician Sir Isaac Newton published Principia , which hypothesizes the inverse - square law of universal gravitation . In his own words , `` I deduced that the forces which keep the planets in their orbs must be reciprocally as the squares of their distances from the centers about which they revolve ; and thereby compared the force requisite to keep the Moon in her orb with the force of gravity at the surface of the Earth ; and found them answer pretty nearly . '' Newton 's theory enjoyed its greatest success when it was used to predict the existence of Neptune based on motions of Uranus that could not be accounted by the actions of the other planets . Calculations by John Couch Adams and Urbain Le Verrier both predicted the general position of the planet , and Le Verrier 's calculations are what led Johann Gottfried Galle to the discovery of Neptune . Years later , it was another discrepancy in a planet 's orbit that showed Newton 's theory to be inaccurate . By the end of the 19th century , it was known that the orbit of Mercury could not be accounted for entirely under Newtonian gravity , and all searches for another perturbing body ( such as a planet orbiting the Sun even closer than Mercury ) have been fruitless . This issue was resolved in 1915 by Albert Einstein 's new general theory of relativity , which accounted for the discrepancy in Mercury 's orbit . Paul Dirac developed the hypothesis that gravitation should have slowly and steadily decreased over the course of the history of the universe . Although Newton 's theory has been superseded , most modern non-relativistic gravitational calculations still use it because it is much easier to work with and is sufficiently accurate for most applications . Mechanical explanations of gravitation ( edit ) Main article : Mechanical explanations of gravitation The mechanical theories or explanations of the gravitation are attempts to explain the law of gravity by aid of basic mechanical processes , such as pushes , and without the use of any action at a distance . These theories were developed from the 16th until the 19th century in connection with the aether theories . René Descartes ( 1644 ) and Christiaan Huygens ( 1690 ) used vortices to explain gravitation . Robert Hooke ( 1671 ) and James Challis ( 1869 ) assumed , that every body emits waves which lead to an attraction of other bodies . Nicolas Fatio de Duillier ( 1690 ) and Georges - Louis Le Sage ( 1748 ) proposed a corpuscular model , using some sort of screening or shadowing mechanism . Later a similar model was created by Hendrik Lorentz , who used electromagnetic radiation instead of the corpuscles . Isaac Newton ( 1675 ) and Bernhard Riemann ( 1853 ) argued that aether streams carry all bodies to each other . Newton ( 1717 ) and Leonhard Euler ( 1760 ) proposed a model , in which the aether loses density near the masses , leading to a net force directing to the bodies . Lord Kelvin ( 1871 ) proposed that every body pulsates , which might be an explanation of gravitation and the electric charges . However , those models were overthrown because most of them lead to an unacceptable amount of drag , which is not observed . Other models are violating the energy conservation law and are incompatible with modern thermodynamics . General relativity ( edit ) Main article : Introduction to general relativity In general relativity , the effects of gravitation are ascribed to spacetime curvature instead of to a force . The starting point for general relativity is the equivalence principle , which equates free fall with inertial motion . The issue that this creates is that free - falling objects can accelerate with respect to each other . In Newtonian physics , no such acceleration can occur unless at least one of the objects is being operated on by a force ( and therefore is not moving inertially ) . To deal with this difficulty , Einstein proposed that spacetime is curved by matter , and that free - falling objects are moving along locally straight paths in curved spacetime . ( This type of path is called a geodesic ) . More specifically , Einstein and Hilbert discovered the field equations of general relativity , which relate the presence of matter and the curvature of spacetime and are named after Einstein . The Einstein field equations are a set of 10 simultaneous , non-linear , differential equations . The solutions of the field equations are the components of the metric tensor of spacetime . A metric tensor describes the geometry of spacetime . The geodesic paths for a spacetime are calculated from the metric tensor . Notable solutions of the Einstein field equations include : The Schwarzschild solution , which describes spacetime surrounding a spherically symmetric non-rotating uncharged massive object . For compact enough objects , this solution generated a black hole with a central singularity . For radial distances from the center which are much greater than the Schwarzschild radius , the accelerations predicted by the Schwarzschild solution are practically identical to those predicted by Newton 's theory of gravity . The Reissner -- Nordström solution , in which the central object has an electrical charge . For charges with a geometrized length which are less than the geometrized length of the mass of the object , this solution produces black holes with an event horizon surrounding a Cauchy horizon . The Kerr solution for rotating massive objects . This solution also produces black holes with multiple horizons . The cosmological Robertson -- Walker solution , which predicts the expansion of the universe . General relativity has enjoyed much success because of the way its predictions of phenomena which are not called for by the older theory of gravity have been regularly confirmed . For example : General relativity accounts for the anomalous perihelion precession of the planet Mercury . The prediction that time runs slower at lower potentials has been confirmed by the Pound -- Rebka experiment , the Hafele -- Keating experiment , and the GPS . The prediction of the deflection of light was first confirmed by Arthur Eddington in 1919 , and has more recently been strongly confirmed through the use of a quasar which passes behind the Sun as seen from the Earth . See also gravitational lensing . The time delay of light passing close to a massive object was first identified by Irwin Shapiro in 1964 in interplanetary spacecraft signals . Gravitational radiation has been indirectly confirmed through studies of binary pulsars . In 2016 , the LIGO experiments directly detected gravitational radiation from two colliding black holes , making this the first direct observation of both the gravitational radiation as well as black holes . The expansion of the universe ( predicted by the Robertson -- Walker metric ) was confirmed by Edwin Hubble in 1929 . Gravity and quantum mechanics ( edit ) Main articles : Graviton and Quantum gravity Several decades after the discovery of general relativity it was realized that it can not be the complete theory of gravity because it is incompatible with quantum mechanics . Later it was understood that it is possible to describe gravity in the framework of quantum field theory like the other fundamental forces . In this framework the attractive force of gravity arises due to exchange of virtual gravitons , in the same way as the electromagnetic force arises from exchange of virtual photons . This reproduces general relativity in the classical limit , but only at the linearized level and postulating that the conditions for the applicability of Ehrenfest theorem holds , which is not always the case . Besides , this approach fails at short distances of the order of the Planck length . It is notable that in general relativity , gravitational radiation , which under the rules of quantum mechanics must be composed of gravitons , is created only in situations where the curvature of spacetime is oscillating , such as is the case with co-orbiting objects . The amount of gravitational radiation emitted by the solar system is far too small to measure . However , gravitational radiation has been observed both indirectly , as an energy loss over time in binary pulsar systems such as PSR 1913 + 16 , and directly by the LIGO gravitational wave observatory , whose first detection ( named GW150914 ) occurred on 14 September 2015 and matched theoretical predictions of signals due to the inward spiral and merger of a pair of black holes . It is believed that neutron star mergers ( since detected in 2017 ) and black hole formation may also create detectable amounts of gravitational radiation .

It was later also featured as a bonus track on their third studio album , New Arrival for the European market . The video had thus tremendous exposure on several television channels , with the A-Teens eventually including the song in their third album . As a result , the song had two music videos , one to promote the Disney movie , the other for the album . It is also shown in the teen pop compilation album , Disney Girlz Rock . The song did not chart in the United States but reached No. 12 in Sweden , No. 16 in Argentina , and No. 41 in Australia . Despite the success of the song overseas , it failed to attract the rest of the Latin American public , due to the fact that there was a Spanish version of the song , performed by the Argentine group , Bandana . In addition , the A-Teens ' version of the song was overshadowed by the promotion of Bandana 's version . Music video ( edit ) The video was directed by Gregory Dark and filmed in Los Angeles , California . It had two different versions . The `` Disney Version '' , as the fans named it , features scenes of the movie , and also new scenes of the A-Teens with beach costumes . The `` A-Teens Version '' of the video , features the A-Teens on the white background with different close - ups and choreography , and scenes with puppies and different costumes .

Finland ( / ˈfɪnlənd / ( listen ) ; Finnish : Suomi ( suo̯mi ) ( listen ) ; Swedish : Finland ( ˈfɪnland ) ) , officially the Republic of Finland ( Finnish : Suomen tasavalta , Swedish : Republiken Finland ) , is a sovereign state in Northern Europe . The country has land borders with Sweden to the northwest , Norway to the north , and Russia to the east . To the south is the Gulf of Finland with Estonia on the opposite side . Finland is a Nordic country situated in the geographical region of Fennoscandia , which also includes Scandinavia . Finland 's population is 5.5 million ( 2016 ) , and the majority of the population is concentrated in the southern region . 88.7 % of the population is Finnish and speaks Finnish , a Uralic language unrelated to the Scandinavian languages ; the next group is the Finland - Swedes ( 5.3 % ) . Finland is the eighth largest country in Europe and the most sparsely populated country in the European Union . It is a parliamentary republic with a central government based in the capital city of Helsinki , local governments in 311 municipalities , and one autonomous region , the Åland Islands . Over 1.4 million people live in the Greater Helsinki metropolitan area , which produces one third of the country 's GDP . Finland was inhabited when the last ice age ended , approximately 9000 BCE . The first settlers left behind artifacts that present characteristics shared with those found in Estonia , Russia , and Norway . The earliest people were hunter - gatherers , using stone tools . The first pottery appeared in 5200 BCE , when the Comb Ceramic culture was introduced . The arrival of the Corded Ware culture in southern coastal Finland between 3000 and 2500 BCE may have coincided with the start of agriculture . The Bronze Age and Iron Age were characterised by extensive contacts with other cultures in the Fennoscandian and Baltic regions and the sedentary farming inhabitation increased towards the end of Iron Age . At the time Finland had three main cultural areas , Finland proper , Tavastia and Karelia , which is reflected in e.g. contemporary jewellery . From the late 13th century , Finland gradually became an integral part of Sweden through the crusades and the Swedish part - colonisation of coastal Finland , a legacy reflected in the prevalence of the Swedish language and its official status . In 1809 Finland was incorporated into the Russian Empire as the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland . In 1906 , Finland became the first European state to grant all adult citizens the right to vote , and the first in the world to give all adult citizens the right to run for public office . Following the 1917 Russian Revolution , Finland declared itself independent . In 1918 , the fledgling state was divided by civil war , with the Bolshevik - leaning Red Guard supported by the equally new Soviet Russia , fighting the White Guard , supported by the German Empire . After a brief attempt to establish a kingdom , the country became a republic . During World War II , the Soviet Union sought repeatedly to occupy Finland , with Finland losing parts of Karelia , Salla , Kuusamo , Petsamo and some islands , but retaining independence . Finland joined the United Nations in 1955 and established an official policy of neutrality . The Finno - Soviet Treaty of 1948 gave the Soviet Union some leverage in Finnish domestic politics during the Cold War era . Finland joined the OECD in 1969 , the NATO Partnership for Peace in 1994 , the European Union in 1995 , the Euro - Atlantic Partnership Council in 1997 , and finally the Eurozone at its inception , in 1999 . Finland was a relative latecomer to industrialisation , remaining a largely agrarian country until the 1950s . After World War II , the Soviet Union demanded war reparations from Finland not only in money but also in material , such as ships and machinery . This forced Finland to industrialise . It rapidly developed an advanced economy while building an extensive welfare state based on the Nordic model , resulting in widespread prosperity and one of the highest per capita incomes in the world . However , Finnish GDP growth was negative in 2012 -- 2014 ( − 0.698 % to − 1.426 % ) , with a preceding nadir of − 8 % in 2009 . Finland is a top performer in numerous metrics of national performance , including education , economic competitiveness , civil liberties , quality of life , and human development . In 2015 , Finland was ranked first in the World Human Capital and the Press Freedom Index and as the most stable country in the world during 2011 -- 2016 in the Fragile States Index , and second in the Global Gender Gap Report . A large majority of Finns are members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church , and freedom of religion is guaranteed under the Finnish Constitution .

Two were found in the Swedish province of Uppland and have the inscription finlonti ( U 582 ) . The third was found in Gotland . It has the inscription finlandi ( G 319 ) and dates back to the 13th century . The name can be assumed to be related to the tribe name Finns , which is mentioned at first known time AD 98 ( disputed meaning ) . Suomi ( edit ) The name Suomi ( Finnish for `` Finland '' ) has uncertain origins , but a candidate for a source is the Proto - Baltic word * źemē , meaning `` land '' . In addition to the close relatives of Finnish ( the Finnic languages ) , this name is also used in the Baltic languages Latvian and Lithuanian . Alternatively , the Indo - European word * ghm - on `` man '' ( cf . Gothic guma , Latin homo ) has been suggested , being borrowed as * ćoma . The word originally referred only to the province of Finland Proper , and later to the northern coast of Gulf of Finland , with northern regions such as Ostrobothnia still sometimes being excluded until later . Earlier theories suggested derivation from suomaa ( fen land ) or suoniemi ( fen cape ) , and parallels between saame ( Sami , a Finno - Ugric people in Lapland ) , and Häme ( a province in the inland ) were drawn , but these theories are now considered outdated . Concept ( edit ) Hakkapeliitta featured on a 1940 Finnish stamp In the earliest historical sources from the 12th and 13th centuries , the term Finland refers to the coastal region around Turku from Perniö to Uusikaupunki . This region later became known as Finland Proper in distinction from the country name Finland . Finland became a common name for the whole country in a centuries - long process that started when the Catholic Church established missionary diocese in Nousiainen in the northern part of the province of Suomi possibly sometime in the 12th century . In the 15th century , Finland became a common name for the whole land area to the east of the Bothnian Sea , possibly even including the Åland Islands , when the archipelago was seen as belonging to Turku . What the term actually refers to can vary depending on the sources . In addition , the boundaries to the east and the north were not exact . An establishment of sorts of Finland as a united entity , if only in name , was made when John III of Sweden called his duchy the `` Grand Duchy of Finland '' ( about 1580 ) , as a strategy to counter the claims of the Russian tsar . The term became part of the title of the King of Sweden but had little practical meaning . The Finnish land area had the same standing as the area to the west of the Bothnian Sea , and the Finnish part of the realm had the same representation in the parliament as the western part . In 1637 , Queen Christina named Per Brahe the Younger Governor - General of Finland , Åland , and Ostrobothnia ( other parts of Sweden had also had governor generals ) . The modern boundaries of Finland actually came into existence only after the end of Sweden -- Finland . What was signed over to Russia in 1809 was not so much `` Finland '' as six counties , Åland , and a small part of Västerbotten County . The boundary between the new Grand Duchy of Finland and the remaining part of Sweden could have been drawn along the river Kemijoki , the boundary at the time between Västerbotten County and Österbotten County ( Ostrobothnia ) -- as proposed by the Swedes in the peace negotiations -- or along the river Kalix , thereby including the Finnish - speaking part of Meänmaa -- as proposed by the Russians . The actual boundary , which followed the Torne River and the Muonio River to the fells Saana and Halti in the northwest , was a compromise . The area it delineated was to become what was represented by the concept of Finland -- at least after Tsar Alexander I of Russia permitted the parts of Finland located to the east of the Kymi River , which were conquered by Russia in 1721 and 1743 , called `` Old Finland '' , to be administratively included in `` New Finland '' in 1812 . History ( edit ) Main article : History of Finland Prehistory ( edit ) Main article : History of Finland § Prehistory Northern Europe in 814 According to archaeological evidence , the area now comprising Finland was settled at the latest around 8500 BCE during the Stone Age as the ice sheet of the last ice age receded . The artifacts the first settlers left behind present characteristics that are shared with those found in Estonia , Russia , and Norway . The earliest people were hunter - gatherers , using stone tools . The first pottery appeared in 5200 BCE , when the Comb Ceramic culture was introduced . The arrival of the Corded Ware culture in southern coastal Finland between 3000 and 2500 BCE may have coincided with the start of agriculture . Even with the introduction of agriculture , hunting and fishing continued to be important parts of the subsistence economy . The Bronze Age ( 1500 -- 500 BCE ) and Iron Age ( 500 BCE -- 1200 CE ) were characterised by extensive contacts with other cultures in the Fennoscandian and Baltic regions . There is no consensus on when Uralic languages and Indo - European languages were first spoken in the area of contemporary Finland . During the first millennium AD , early Finnish was spoken in agricultural settlements in southern Finland , whereas Sámi - speaking populations occupied most parts of the country . Although distantly related , the Sami are a different people that retained the hunter - gatherer lifestyle longer than the Finns . The Sami cultural identity and the Sami language have survived in Lapland , the northernmost province , but the Sami have been displaced or assimilated elsewhere . The 12th and 13th centuries were a violent time in the northern Baltic sea . The Livonian crusade was ongoing and Finnish tribes such as the Tavastians and Karelians were in frequent conflicts with Novgorod and with each other . Also during the 12th and 13th centuries several crusades from the Catholic realms of the Baltic Sea were made against Finnish tribes . According to historical sources , Danes made two crusades to Finland , in 1191 and in 1202 , and Swedes , possibly the so - called second crusade to Finland , in 1249 against Tavastians and the third crusade to Finland in 1293 against the Karelians . The so - called first crusade to Finland , possibly in 1155 , is most likely an unreal event . Also it is possible that Germans made violent conversion of Finnish pagans in 13th century . According to a papal letter in 1241 the king of Norway was also fighting against `` nearby pagans '' at that time . Swedish era ( edit ) Main article : Finland under Swedish rule The Swedish Empire following the Treaty of Roskilde of 1658 . Dark green : Sweden proper , as represented in the Riksdag of the Estates . Other greens : Swedish dominions and possessions . Now lying within Helsinki , Suomenlinna is a UNESCO World Heritage Site consisting of an inhabited 18th century sea fortress built on six islands . It is one of Finland 's most popular tourist attractions . As a result of the crusades together and with the colonisation of Finnish coastal areas with Christian Swedish population during the Middle Ages Finland gradually became part of the kingdom of Sweden . In the 17th century , Swedish became the dominant language of the nobility , administration , and education ; Finnish was chiefly a language for the peasantry , clergy , and local courts in predominantly Finnish - speaking areas . During the Protestant Reformation , the Finns gradually converted to Lutheranism . In the 16th century , Mikael Agricola published the first written works in Finnish . The first university in Finland , the Royal Academy of Turku , was established in 1640 . Finland suffered a severe famine in 1696 -- 1697 , during which about one third of the Finnish population died , and a devastating plague a few years later . In the 18th century , wars between Sweden and Russia twice led to the occupation of Finland by Russian forces , times known to the Finns as the Greater Wrath ( 1714 -- 1721 ) and the Lesser Wrath ( 1742 -- 1743 ) . It is estimated that almost an entire generation of young men was lost during the Great Wrath , due namely to the destruction of homes and farms , and to the burning of Helsinki . By this time Finland was the predominant term for the whole area from the Gulf of Bothnia to the Russian border . Two Russo - Swedish wars in twenty - five years served as reminders to the Finnish people of the precarious position between Sweden and Russia . An increasingly vocal elite in Finland soon determined that Finnish ties with Sweden were becoming too costly , and following Gustav III 's War ( 1788 -- 1790 ) , the Finnish elite 's desire to break with Sweden only heightened . In the late eighteenth century a politically active portion of the Finnish nobility became convinced that , due to Sweden and Russia 's repeated use of Finland as a battlefield , it would be in the country 's best interests to seek autonomy . Even before the Russo - Swedish War of 1788 -- 1790 , there were conspiring Finns , among them Col G.M. Sprengtporten , who had supported Gustav III 's coup in 1772 . Sprengporten fell out with the king and resigned his commission in 1777 . In the following decade he tried to secure Russian support for an autonomous Finland , and later became an adviser to Catherine II . In the spirit of the notion of Adolf Ivar Arwidsson ( 1791 -- 1858 ) , `` we are not Swedes , we do not want to become Russians , let us therefore be Finns '' , the Finnish national identity started to become established . Notwithstanding the efforts of Finland 's elite and nobility to break ties with Sweden , there was no genuine independence movement in Finland until the early twentieth century . As a matter of fact , at this time the Finnish peasantry was outraged by the actions of their elite and almost exclusively supported Gustav 's actions against the conspirators . ( The High Court of Turku condemned Sprengtporten as a traitor c. 1793 . ) Russian Empire era ( edit ) Main article : Grand Duchy of Finland See also : Finland 's language strife and Russification of Finland On 29 March 1809 , having been taken over by the armies of Alexander I of Russia in the Finnish War , Finland became an autonomous Grand Duchy in the Russian Empire until the end of 1917 . In 1811 , Alexander I incorporated Russian Vyborg province into the Grand Duchy of Finland . During the Russian era , the Finnish language began to gain recognition . From the 1860s onwards , a strong Finnish nationalist movement known as the Fennoman movement grew . Milestones included the publication of what would become Finland 's national epic -- the Kalevala -- in 1835 , and the Finnish language 's achieving equal legal status with Swedish in 1892 . Pioneers in Karelia ( 1900 ) by Pekka Halonen The Finnish famine of 1866 -- 1868 killed 15 % of the population , making it one of the worst famines in European history . The famine led the Russian Empire to ease financial regulations , and investment rose in following decades . Economic and political development was rapid . The GDP per capita was still half of that of the United States and a third of that of Britain . In 1906 , universal suffrage was adopted in the Grand Duchy of Finland . However , the relationship between the Grand Duchy and the Russian Empire soured when the Russian government made moves to restrict Finnish autonomy . For example , the universal suffrage was , in practice , virtually meaningless , since the tsar did not have to approve any of the laws adopted by the Finnish parliament . Desire for independence gained ground , first among radical liberals and socialists . Civil War and early independence ( edit ) Main articles : Finnish Declaration of Independence and Finnish Civil War After the 1917 February Revolution , the position of Finland as part of the Russian Empire was questioned , mainly by Social Democrats . Since the head of state was the tsar of Russia , it was not clear who the chief executive of Finland was after the revolution . The Parliament , controlled by social democrats , passed the so - called Power Act to give the highest authority to the Parliament . This was rejected by the Russian Provisional Government which decided to dissolve the Parliament . New elections were conducted , in which right - wing parties won a slim majority . Some social democrats refused to accept the result and still claimed that the dissolution of the parliament ( and thus the ensuing elections ) were extralegal . The two nearly equally powerful political blocs , the right - wing parties and the social democratic party , were highly antagonized . White firing squad executing Red soldiers in Länkipohja , Längelmäki , in 1918 . The October Revolution in Russia changed the geopolitical situation anew . Suddenly , the right - wing parties in Finland started to reconsider their decision to block the transfer of highest executive power from the Russian government to Finland , as the Bolsheviks took power in Russia . Rather than acknowledge the authority of the Power Law of a few months earlier , the right - wing government declared independence on 6 December 1917 . On 27 January 1918 , the official opening shots of the war were fired in two simultaneous events . The government started to disarm the Russian forces in Pohjanmaa , and the Social Democratic Party staged a coup . The latter succeeded in controlling southern Finland and Helsinki , but the white government continued in exile from Vaasa . This sparked the brief but bitter civil war . The Whites , who were supported by Imperial Germany , prevailed over the Reds . After the war , tens of thousands of Reds and suspected sympathizers were interned in camps , where thousands died by execution or from malnutrition and disease . Deep social and political enmity was sown between the Reds and Whites and would last until the Winter War and beyond . The civil war and activist expeditions into Soviet Russia strained Eastern relations . After a brief experimentation with monarchy , Finland became a presidential republic , with Kaarlo Juho Ståhlberg elected as its first president in 1919 . The Finnish -- Russian border was determined by the Treaty of Tartu in 1920 , largely following the historic border but granting Pechenga ( Finnish : Petsamo ) and its Barents Sea harbour to Finland . Finnish democracy did not see any Soviet coup attempts and survived the anti-Communist Lapua Movement . The relationship between Finland and the Soviet Union was tense . Germany 's relations with democratic Finland cooled also after the Nazis ' rise to power . Army officers were trained in France , and relations to Western Europe and Sweden were strengthened . In 1917 , the population was 3 million . Credit - based land reform was enacted after the civil war , increasing the proportion of capital - owning population . About 70 % of workers were occupied in agriculture and 10 % in industry . The largest export markets were the United Kingdom and Germany . World War II ( edit ) Areas ceded by Finland to the Soviet Union after the Winter War from 1939 to 1940 and the Continuation War from 1941 to 1944 . The Porkkala land lease was returned to Finland in 1956 . Finland covered an area of approximately 385,000 km ( 149,000 sq mi ) before the handover . Main article : Military history of Finland during World War II During World War II , Finland fought the Soviet Union twice : in the Winter War of 1939 -- 1940 after the Soviet Union had attacked Finland ; and in the Continuation War of 1941 -- 1944 , following Operation Barbarossa , during which Finland aligned with Germany following Germany 's invasion of the Soviet Union . For 872 days , the German army , aided indirectly by Finnish forces , besieged Leningrad , the USSR 's second largest city . After fighting a major Soviet offensive in June / July 1944 to a standstill , Finland reached an armistice with the Soviet Union . This was followed by the Lapland War of 1944 -- 1945 , when Finland fought against the retreating German forces in northern Finland . The treaties signed in 1947 and 1948 with the Soviet Union included Finnish obligations , restraints , and reparations -- as well as further Finnish territorial concessions in addition to those in the Moscow Peace Treaty of 1940 . As a result of the two wars , Finland ceded most of Finnish Karelia , Salla , and Petsamo , which amounted to 10 % of its land area and 20 % of its industrial capacity , including the ports of Vyborg ( Viipuri ) and the ice - free Liinakhamari ( Liinahamari ) . Almost the whole population , some 400,000 people , fled these areas . Finland was never occupied by Soviet forces and it retained its independence , but at the loss of about 93,000 soldiers . Finland rejected Marshall aid , in apparent deference to Soviet desires . However , the United States provided secret development aid and helped the ( non-Communist ) Social Democratic Party in hopes of preserving Finland 's independence . Establishing trade with the Western powers , such as the United Kingdom , and paying reparations to the Soviet Union produced a transformation of Finland from a primarily agrarian economy to an industrialised one . For example , the Valmet corporation was founded to create materials for war reparations , but , after the reparations had been paid off , Finland -- which was poor in certain resources necessary for an industrialized nation ( such as iron and oil ) -- continued to trade with the Soviet Union in the framework of bilateral trade . Urho Kekkonen , the eighth president of Finland ( 1956 -- 1982 ) In 1950 , 46 % of Finnish workers worked in agriculture and a third lived in urban areas . The new jobs in manufacturing , services , and trade quickly attracted people to the towns . The average number of births per woman declined from a baby boom peak of 3.5 in 1947 to 1.5 in 1973 . When baby - boomers entered the workforce , the economy did not generate jobs fast enough , and hundreds of thousands emigrated to the more industrialized Sweden , with emigration peaking in 1969 and 1970 . The 1952 Summer Olympics brought international visitors . Finland took part in trade liberalization in the World Bank , the International Monetary Fund and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade . Officially claiming to be neutral , Finland lay in the grey zone between the Western countries and the Soviet Union . The YYA Treaty ( Finno - Soviet Pact of Friendship , Cooperation and Mutual Assistance ) gave the Soviet Union some leverage in Finnish domestic politics . This was extensively exploited by president Urho Kekkonen against his opponents . He maintained an effective monopoly on Soviet relations from 1956 on , which was crucial for his continued popularity . In politics , there was a tendency of avoiding any policies and statements that could be interpreted as anti-Soviet . This phenomenon was given the name `` Finlandization '' by the West German press . Despite close relations with the Soviet Union , Finland maintained a market economy . Various industries benefited from trade privileges with the Soviets , which explains the widespread support that pro-Soviet policies enjoyed among business interests in Finland . Economic growth was rapid in the postwar era , and by 1975 Finland 's GDP per capita was the 15th highest in the world . In the 1970s and 80s , Finland built one of the most extensive welfare states in the world . Finland negotiated with the EEC ( a predecessor of the European Union ) a treaty that mostly abolished customs duties towards the EEC starting from 1977 , although Finland did not fully join . In 1981 , president Urho Kekkonen 's failing health forced him to retire after holding office for 25 years . Finland reacted cautiously to the collapse of the Soviet Union , but swiftly began increasing integration with the West . On 21 September 1990 , Finland unilaterally declared the Paris Peace Treaty obsolete , following the German reunification decision nine days earlier . Finland joined the European Union in 1995 and signed the Lisbon Treaty in 2007 . Miscalculated macroeconomic decisions , a banking crisis , the collapse of its largest single trading partner ( the Soviet Union ) , and a global economic downturn caused a deep early 1990s recession in Finland . The depression bottomed out in 1993 , and Finland saw steady economic growth for more than ten years . Like other Nordic countries , Finland decentralised its economy since the late 1980s . Financial and product market regulation were loosened . Some state enterprises have been privatized and there have been some modest tax cuts . Finland joined the European Union in 1995 , and the Eurozone in 1999 . Much of the late 1990s economic growth was fueled by the phenomenal success of the mobile phone manufacturer Nokia , which held a unique position of representing 80 % of the market capitalization of the Helsinki Stock Exchange . Language ( edit ) Main articles : Finnish language , Finland Swedish , and Languages of Finland Finnish and Swedish are the official languages of Finland . Finnish predominates nationwide while Swedish is spoken in some coastal areas in the west and south and in the autonomous region of Åland . The native language of 89 % of the population is Finnish , which is part of the Finnic subgroup of the Uralic languages . The language is one of only four official EU languages not of Indo - European origin . Finnish is closely related to Karelian and Estonian and more remotely to the Sami languages and Hungarian . Swedish is the native language of 5.3 % of the population ( Swedish - speaking Finns ) . The Nordic languages and Karelian are also specially treated in some contexts . Finnish Romani is spoken by some 5,000 -- 6,000 people , Finnish Romani and Finnish Sign Language are also recognized in the constitution . There are two sign languages : Finnish Sign Language , spoken natively by 4,000 -- 5,000 people , and Finland - Swedish Sign Language , spoken natively by about 150 people . Tatar language is spoken by a Finnish Tatar minority of about 800 people who moved to Finland mainly during the Russian rule from the 1870s until the 1920s . The Sami language is an official language to the north , in Lapland or in northern Lapland , where are the Sami people , numbering around 7,000 and recognized as an indigenous people . About a quarter of them speak a Sami language as their mother tongue . The Sami languages that are spoken in Finland are Northern Sami , Inari Sami , and Skolt Sami . The rights of minority groups ( in particular Sami , Swedish speakers , and Romani people ) are protected by the constitution . The largest immigrant languages are Russian ( 1.4 % ) , Estonian ( 0.9 % ) , Arabic ( 0.4 % ) , Somali ( 0.3 % ) and English ( 0.3 % ) . English is studied by most pupils as a compulsory subject from the third or fifth grade ( at 9 or 11 years of age respectively ) in the comprehensive school ( in some schools other languages can be chosen instead ) . German , French , and Russian can be studied as second foreign languages from the eighth grade ( at 14 years of age ; some schools may offer other options ) . Geography ( edit ) Detailed map of Finland . ( See also Atlas of Finland . ) Main article : Geography of Finland See also : List of cities and towns in Finland , List of lakes in Finland , List of national parks of Finland , and Environmental issues in Finland Lying approximately between latitudes 60 ° and 70 ° N , and longitudes 20 ° and 32 ° E , Finland is one of the world 's northernmost countries . Of world capitals , only Reykjavík lies more to the north than Helsinki . The distance from the southernmost point -- Hanko in Uusimaa -- to the northernmost -- Nuorgam in Lapland -- is 1,160 kilometres ( 720 mi ) . Finland has about 168,000 lakes ( of area larger than 500 m or 0.12 acres ) and 179,000 islands . Its largest lake , Saimaa , is the fourth largest in Europe . The Finnish Lakeland is the area with the most lakes in the country . The greatest concentration of islands is found in the southwest , in the Archipelago Sea between continental Finland and the main island of Åland . Much of the geography of Finland is a result of the Ice Age . The glaciers were thicker and lasted longer in Fennoscandia compared with the rest of Europe . Their eroding effects have left the Finnish landscape mostly flat with few hills and fewer mountains . Its highest point , the Halti at 1,324 metres ( 4,344 ft ) , is found in the extreme north of Lapland at the border between Finland and Norway . The highest mountain whose peak is entirely in Finland is Ridnitšohkka at 1,316 m ( 4,318 ft ) , directly adjacent to Halti . The whooper swan , Finland 's national bird The retreating glaciers have left the land with morainic deposits in formations of eskers . These are ridges of stratified gravel and sand , running northwest to southeast , where the ancient edge of the glacier once lay . Among the biggest of these are the three Salpausselkä ridges that run across southern Finland . Having been compressed under the enormous weight of the glaciers , terrain in Finland is rising due to the post-glacial rebound . The effect is strongest around the Gulf of Bothnia , where land steadily rises about 1 cm ( 0.4 in ) a year . As a result , the old sea bottom turns little by little into dry land : the surface area of the country is expanding by about 7 square kilometres ( 2.7 sq mi ) annually . Relatively speaking , Finland is rising from the sea . The landscape is covered mostly by coniferous taiga forests and fens , with little cultivated land . Of the total area 10 % is lakes , rivers and ponds , and 78 % forest . The forest consists of pine , spruce , birch , and other species . Finland is the largest producer of wood in Europe and among the largest in the world . The most common type of rock is granite . It is a ubiquitous part of the scenery , visible wherever there is no soil cover . Moraine or till is the most common type of soil , covered by a thin layer of humus of biological origin . Podzol profile development is seen in most forest soils except where drainage is poor . Gleysols and peat bogs occupy poorly drained areas . Biodiversity ( edit ) Main articles : Fauna of Finland and Wildlife of Finland Phytogeographically , Finland is shared between the Arctic , central European , and northern European provinces of the Circumboreal Region within the Boreal Kingdom . According to the WWF , the territory of Finland can be subdivided into three ecoregions : the Scandinavian and Russian taiga , Sarmatic mixed forests , and Scandinavian Montane Birch forest and grasslands . Taiga covers most of Finland from northern regions of southern provinces to the north of Lapland . On the southwestern coast , south of the Helsinki - Rauma line , forests are characterized by mixed forests , that are more typical in the Baltic region . In the extreme north of Finland , near the tree line and Arctic Ocean , Montane Birch forests are common . The brown bear ( Ursus arctos ) is Finland 's national animal . Similarly , Finland has a diverse and extensive range of fauna . There are at least sixty native mammalian species , 248 breeding bird species , over 70 fish species , and 11 reptile and frog species present today , many migrating from neighboring countries thousands of years ago . Large and widely recognized wildlife mammals found in Finland are the brown bear ( the national animal ) , gray wolf , wolverine , and elk . Three of the more striking birds are the whooper swan , a large European swan and the national bird of Finland ; the Western capercaillie , a large , black - plumaged member of the grouse family ; and the Eurasian eagle - owl . The latter is considered an indicator of old - growth forest connectivity , and has been declining because of landscape fragmentation . The most common breeding birds are the willow warbler , common chaffinch , and redwing . Of some seventy species of freshwater fish , the northern pike , perch , and others are plentiful . Atlantic salmon remains the favourite of fly rod enthusiasts . The endangered Saimaa ringed seal , one of only three lake seal species in the world , exists only in the Saimaa lake system of southeastern Finland , down to only 300 seals today . It has become the emblem of the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation . Climate ( edit ) Main article : Climate of Finland Köppen climate classification types of Finland Koli National Park in North Karelia Repovesi National Park in southeastern Finland The main factor influencing Finland 's climate is the country 's geographical position between the 60th and 70th northern parallels in the Eurasian continent 's coastal zone . In the Köppen climate classification , the whole of Finland lies in the boreal zone , characterized by warm summers and freezing winters . Within the country , the temperateness varies considerably between the southern coastal regions and the extreme north , showing characteristics of both a maritime and a continental climate . Finland is near enough to the Atlantic Ocean to be continuously warmed by the Gulf Stream . The Gulf Stream combines with the moderating effects of the Baltic Sea and numerous inland lakes to explain the unusually warm climate compared with other regions that share the same latitude , such as Alaska , Siberia , and southern Greenland . Winters in southern Finland ( when mean daily temperature remains below 0 ° C or 32 ° F ) are usually about 100 days long , and in the inland the snow typically covers the land from about late November to April , and on the coastal areas such as Helsinki , snow often covers the land from late December to late March . Even in the south , the harshest winter nights can see the temperatures fall to − 30 ° C ( − 22 ° F ) although on coastal areas like Helsinki , temperatures below − 30 ° C ( − 22 ° F ) are very rare . Climatic summers ( when mean daily temperature remains above 10 ° C or 50 ° F ) in southern Finland last from about late May to mid-September , and in the inland , the warmest days of July can reach over 35 ° C ( 95 ° F ) . Although most of Finland lies on the taiga belt , the southernmost coastal regions are sometimes classified as hemiboreal . Pyhä - Luosto National Park , Lapland In northern Finland , particularly in Lapland , the winters are long and cold , while the summers are relatively warm but short . The most severe winter days in Lapland can see the temperature fall down to − 45 ° C ( − 49 ° F ) . The winter of the north lasts for about 200 days with permanent snow cover from about mid-October to early May . Summers in the north are quite short , only two to three months , but can still see maximum daily temperatures above 25 ° C ( 77 ° F ) during heat waves . No part of Finland has Arctic tundra , but Alpine tundra can be found at the fells Lapland . The Finnish climate is suitable for cereal farming only in the southernmost regions , while the northern regions are suitable for animal husbandry . A quarter of Finland 's territory lies within the Arctic Circle and the midnight sun can be experienced for more days the farther north one travels . At Finland 's northernmost point , the sun does not set for 73 consecutive days during summer , and does not rise at all for 51 days during winter . Regions ( edit ) Main article : Regions of Finland Finland consists of 19 regions called maakunta in Finnish and landskap in Swedish . The regions are governed by regional councils which serve as forums of cooperation for the municipalities of a region . The main tasks of the regions are regional planning and development of enterprise and education . In addition , the public health services are usually organized on the basis of regions . Currently , the only region where a popular election is held for the council is Kainuu . Other regional councils are elected by municipal councils , each municipality sending representatives in proportion to its population . In addition to inter-municipal cooperation , which is the responsibility of regional councils , each region has a state Employment and Economic Development Centre which is responsible for the local administration of labour , agriculture , fisheries , forestry , and entrepreneurial affairs . The Finnish Defence Forces regional offices are responsible for the regional defence preparations and for the administration of conscription within the region . Regions represent dialectal , cultural , and economic variations better than the former provinces , which were purely administrative divisions of the central government . Historically , regions are divisions of historical provinces of Finland , areas which represent dialects and culture more accurately . Six Regional State Administrative Agencies were created by the state of Finland in 2010 , each of them responsible for one of the regions called alue in Finnish and region in Swedish ; in addition , Åland was designated a seventh region . These take over some of the tasks of the earlier Provinces of Finland ( the läänis ) , which were abolished .

Administrative divisions ( edit ) Main articles : Administrative divisions of Finland , Regions of Finland , Sub-regions of Finland , Municipalities of Finland , and Historical provinces of Finland Further information : List of Finnish municipalities , List of Finnish municipalities by population , List of Finnish municipalities by area , and Former municipalities of Finland The fundamental administrative divisions of the country are the municipalities , which may also call themselves towns or cities . They account for half of public spending . Spending is financed by municipal income tax , state subsidies , and other revenue . As of 2017 , there are 311 municipalities , and most have fewer than 6,000 residents . In addition to municipalities , two intermediate levels are defined . Municipalities co-operate in seventy sub-regions and nineteen regions . These are governed by the member municipalities and have only limited powers . The autonomous province of Åland has a permanent democratically elected regional council . In the Kainuu region , there is a pilot project underway with regional elections . Sami people have a semi-autonomous Sami native region in Lapland for issues on language and culture . In the following chart , the number of inhabitants includes those living in the entire municipality ( kunta / kommun ) , not just in the built - up area . The land area is given in km2 , and the density in inhabitants per km2 ( land area ) . The figures are as of 31 August 2017 . The capital region -- comprising Helsinki , Vantaa , Espoo and Kauniainen -- forms a continuous conurbation of over 1.1 million people . However , common administration is limited to voluntary cooperation of all municipalities , e.g. in Helsinki Metropolitan Area Council .

The Prime Minister is the country 's most powerful person . The current version of the constitution was enacted on 1 March 2000 , and was amended on 1 March 2012 . Citizens can run and vote in parliamentary , municipal , presidential and European Union elections . President ( edit ) Main article : President of Finland The head of state of Finland is President of the Republic of Finland ( in Finnish : Suomen tasavallan presidentti ; in Swedish : Republiken Finlands president ) . Finland has had for most of its independence a semi-presidential system , but in the last few decades the powers of the President have been diminished . In constitution amendments , which came into effect in 1991 or 1992 and also with a new drafted constitution of 2000 , amended in 2012 , the President 's position has become primarily a ceremonial office . However , the President still leads the nation 's foreign politics together with the Council of State and is the chief - in - command of the Defence Forces . The position still does entail some powers , including responsibility for foreign policy ( excluding affairs related to the European Union ) in cooperation with the cabinet , being the head of the armed forces , some decree powers , and some appointive powers . Direct , one - or two - stage elections are used to elect the president for a term of six years and for a maximum of two consecutive terms . The current president is Sauli Niinistö ; he took office on 1 March 2012 . Former presidents were K.J. Ståhlberg ( 1919 -- 1925 ) , L.K. Relander ( 1925 -- 1931 ) , P.E. Svinhufvud ( 1931 -- 1937 ) , Kyösti Kallio ( 1937 -- 1940 ) , Risto Ryti ( 1940 -- 1944 ) , C.G.E. Mannerheim ( 1944 -- 1946 ) , J.K. Paasikivi ( 1946 -- 1956 ) , Urho Kekkonen ( 1956 -- 1982 ) , Mauno Koivisto ( 1982 -- 1994 ) , Martti Ahtisaari ( 1994 -- 2000 ) , and Tarja Halonen ( 2000 -- 2012 ) . The current president was elected from the ranks of the National Coalition Party for the first time since 1946 . The presidency between 1946 and the present was instead held by a member of the Social Democratic Party or the Centre Party . Parliament ( edit ) Main article : Parliament of Finland The Parliament of Finland 's main building . The 200 - member unicameral Parliament of Finland ( Finnish : Eduskunta , Swedish : Riksdag ) exercises supreme legislative authority in the country . It may alter the constitution and ordinary laws , dismiss the cabinet , and override presidential vetoes . Its acts are not subject to judicial review ; the constitutionality of new laws is assessed by the parliament 's constitutional law committee . The parliament is elected for a term of four years using the proportional D'Hondt method within a number of multi-seat constituencies through open list multi-member districts . Various parliament committees listen to experts and prepare legislation . The speaker of the parliament is Maria Lohela ( sin . ) . Since universal suffrage was introduced in 1906 , the parliament has been dominated by the Centre Party ( former Agrarian Union ) , the National Coalition Party , and the Social Democrats . These parties have enjoyed approximately equal support , and their combined vote has totalled about 65 -- 80 % of all votes . Their lowest common total of MPs , 121 , was reached in the 2011 elections . For a few decades after 1944 , the Communists were a strong fourth party . Due to the electoral system of proportional representation , and the relative reluctance of voters to switch their support between parties , the relative strengths of the parties have commonly varied only slightly from one election to another . However , there have been some long - term trends , such as the rise and fall of the Communists during the Cold War ; the steady decline into insignificance of the Liberals and its predecessors from 1906 to 1980 ; and the rise of the Green League since 1983 . In the 2011 elections , the Finns Party achieved exceptional success , increasing its representation from 5 to 39 seats , surpassing the Centre Party . The autonomous province of Åland , which forms a federacy with Finland , elects one member to the parliament , who traditionally joins the parliamentary group of the Swedish People 's Party of Finland . ( The province also holds elections for its own permanent regional council , and in the 2011 elections , Åland Centre was the largest party . ) Republic of Finland This article is part of a series on the politics and government of Finland State ( show ) Constitution Declaration of Independence Human rights Executive ( show ) President ( list ) Sauli Niinistö Prime Minister ( list ) Juha Sipilä Cabinet Executive departments Legislative ( show ) 37th Parliament Speaker : Maria Lohela Judiciary ( show ) General Courts Supreme Court Courts of Appeal District Courts Administrative Courts Supreme Administrative Court Regional Administrative Courts Prosecutor General Matti Kuusimäki Chancellor of Justice Jaakko Jonkka Recent elections ( show ) Parliamentary : 2007 2011 2015 Presidential : 2000 2006 2012 European : 2004 2009 2014 Political parties ( show ) Centre Party ( KESK ) Christian Democrats ( KD ) Green League ( VIHR ) Finns Party ( PS ) Blue Reform ( SIN ) Left Alliance ( VAS ) National Coalition Party ( KOK ) Social Democratic Party ( SDP ) Swedish People 's Party ( RKP ) Administrative divisions ( show ) Regions ( Maakunnat , Landskap ) Sub-regions ( Seutukunnat , Ekonomiska regioner ) Municipalities ( Kunnat , Kommuner ) Foreign relations ( show ) Ambassadors Other countries Atlas The Parliament can be dissolved by a recommendation of the Prime Minister , endorsed by the President . This procedure has never been used , although the parliament was dissolved eight times under the pre-2000 constitution , when this action was the sole prerogative of the president . After the parliamentary elections on 19 April 2015 , the seats were divided among eight parties as follows : Party Seats Net gain / loss % of seats % of votes Centre Party 49 + 14 24.5 21.1 Finns Party 38 − 1 19.0 17.7 National Coalition Party 37 − 7 18.5 18.2 Social Democratic Party 34 − 8 17.0 16.5 Green League 15 + 5 7.5 8.5 Left Alliance 12 − 2 6.0 7.1 Swedish People 's Party 9 0 4.5 4.9 Christian Democrats 5 − 1 2.5 3.5 Others 1 0 0.5 0.6 Province of Åland 's representative . Cabinet ( edit ) After parliamentary elections , the parties negotiate among themselves on forming a new cabinet ( the Finnish Government ) , which then has to be approved by a simple majority vote in the parliament . The cabinet can be dismissed by a parliamentary vote of no confidence , although this rarely happens ( the last time in 1957 ) , as the parties represented in the cabinet usually make up a majority in the parliament . The cabinet exercises most executive powers , and originates most of the bills that the parliament then debates and votes on . It is headed by the Prime Minister of Finland , and consists of him or her , of other ministers , and of the Chancellor of Justice . The current prime minister is Juha Sipilä ( Centre Party ) . Each minister heads his or her ministry , or , in some cases , has responsibility for a subset of a ministry 's policy . After the prime minister , the most powerful minister is the minister of finance . The incumbent Minister of Finance is Petteri Orpo . As no one party ever dominates the parliament , Finnish cabinets are multi-party coalitions . As a rule , the post of prime minister goes to the leader of the biggest party and that of the minister of finance to the leader of the second biggest . Law ( edit ) Main articles : Law of Finland and Judicial system of Finland The judicial system of Finland is a civil law system divided between courts with regular civil and criminal jurisdiction and administrative courts with jurisdiction over litigation between individuals and the public administration . Finnish law is codified and based on Swedish law and in a wider sense , civil law or Roman law . The court system for civil and criminal jurisdiction consists of local courts ( käräjäoikeus , tingsrätt ) , regional appellate courts ( hovioikeus , hovrätt ) , and the Supreme Court ( korkein oikeus , högsta domstolen ) . The administrative branch of justice consists of administrative courts ( hallinto - oikeus , förvaltningsdomstol ) and the Supreme Administrative Court ( korkein hallinto - oikeus , högsta förvaltningsdomstolen ) . In addition to the regular courts , there are a few special courts in certain branches of administration . There is also a High Court of Impeachment for criminal charges against certain high - ranking officeholders . Around 92 % of residents have confidence in Finland 's security institutions . The overall crime rate of Finland is not high in the EU context . Some crime types are above average , notably the highest homicide rate in Western Europe . A day fine system is in effect and also applied to offenses such as speeding . Finland has successfully fought against government corruption , which was more common in the 1970s and 80s . For instance , economic reforms and EU membership introduced stricter requirements for open bidding and many public monopolies were abolished . Today , Finland has a very low number of corruption charges ; Transparency International ranks Finland as one of the least corrupt countries in Europe . In 2008 , Transparency International criticized the lack of transparency of the system of Finnish political finance . According to GRECO in 2007 , corruption should be taken into account in the Finnish system of election funds better . A scandal revolving around campaign finance of the 2007 parliamentary elections broke out in spring 2008 . Nine Ministers of Government submitted incomplete funding reports and even more of the members of parliament . The law includes no punishment of false funds reports of the elected politicians . Foreign relations ( edit ) Main article : Foreign relations of Finland Martti Ahtisaari receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 2008 According to the 2012 constitution , the president ( currently Sauli Niinistö ) leads foreign policy in cooperation with the government , except that the president has no role in EU affairs . In 2008 , president Martti Ahtisaari was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize . Finland was considered a cooperative model state , and Finland did not oppose proposals for a common EU defence policy . This was reversed in the 2000s , when Tarja Halonen and Erkki Tuomioja made Finland 's official policy to resist other EU members ' plans for common defence . Social security ( edit ) Main article : Social security in Finland Finland has one of the world 's most extensive welfare systems , one that guarantees decent living conditions for all residents , Finns , and non-citizens . Since the 1980s the social security has been cut back , but still the system is one of the most comprehensive in the world . Created almost entirely during the first three decades after World War II , the social security system was an outgrowth of the traditional Nordic belief that the state was not inherently hostile to the well - being of its citizens , but could intervene benevolently on their behalf . According to some social historians , the basis of this belief was a relatively benign history that had allowed the gradual emergence of a free and independent peasantry in the Nordic countries and had curtailed the dominance of the nobility and the subsequent formation of a powerful right wing . Finland 's history has been harsher than the histories of the other Nordic countries , but not harsh enough to bar the country from following their path of social development . Military ( edit ) Sisu Nasu NA - 110 tracked transport vehicle of the Finnish Army . Most conscripts receive training for warfare in winter , and transport vehicles such as this give mobility in heavy snow . Main articles : Finnish Defence Forces and Military history of Finland See also : List of wars involving Finland The Finnish Defence Forces consist of a cadre of professional soldiers ( mainly officers and technical personnel ) , currently serving conscripts , and a large reserve . The standard readiness strength is 34,700 people in uniform , of which 25 % are professional soldiers . A universal male conscription is in place , under which all male Finnish nationals above 18 years of age serve for 6 to 12 months of armed service or 12 months of civilian ( non-armed ) service . Voluntary post-conscription overseas peacekeeping service is popular , and troops serve around the world in UN , NATO , and EU missions . Approximately 500 women choose voluntary military service every year . Women are allowed to serve in all combat arms including front - line infantry and special forces . The army consists of a highly mobile field army backed up by local defence units . The army defends the national territory and its military strategy employs the use of the heavily forested terrain and numerous lakes to wear down an aggressor , instead of attempting to hold the attacking army on the frontier . Finnish defence expenditure per capita is one of the highest in the European Union . The Finnish military doctrine is based on the concept of total defence . The term total means that all sectors of the government and economy are involved in the defence planning . The armed forces are under the command of the Chief of Defence ( currently General Jarmo Lindberg ) , who is directly subordinate to the president in matters related to military command . The branches of the military are the army , the navy , and the air force . The border guard is under the Ministry of the Interior but can be incorporated into the Defence Forces when required for defence readiness . Even while Finland has n't joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization , the country has joined the NATO Response Force , the EU Battlegroup , the NATO Partnership for Peace and in signed a NATO Memorandum of Understanding , thus forming a practical coalition . In 2015 , the Finland - NATO ties were strengthened with a host nation support agreement allowing assistance from NATO troops in emergency situations . Finland has been active participant in the Afghanistan and Kosovo . Recently Finland has been more eager to discuss about its current and planned roles in Syria , Iraq and war against ISIL . On 21 December 2012 Finnish military officer Atte Kaleva was reported to have been kidnapped and later released in Yemen for ransom . At first he was reported be a casual Arabic student , however only later it was published that his studies were about jihadists , terrorism , and that he was employed by the military . As response to French request for solidarity , Finnish defence minister commented in November that Finland could and is willing to offer intelligence support . In May 2015 , Finnish Military sent nearly one million letters to all relevant males in the country , informing them about their roles in the war effort . It was globally speculated that Finland was preparing for war -- however Finland claimed that this was a standard procedure , yet something never done before in Finnish history . Mr Hypponen however said that this is not an isolated case , but bound to the European security dilemma . The NATO Memorandum of Understanding signed earlier bestows an obligation e.g. to report on internal capabilities and the availability thereof to NATO . Economy ( edit ) Angry Birds , a mobile phone game developed in Finland , has become a commercial hit both domestically and internationally . Main article : Economy of Finland See also : List of companies of Finland and Helsinki Stock Exchange The economy of Finland has a per capita output equal to that of other European economies such as those of France , Germany , Belgium , or the UK . The largest sector of the economy is the service sector at 66 % of GDP , followed by manufacturing and refining at 31 % . Primary production represents 2.9 % . With respect to foreign trade , the key economic sector is manufacturing . The largest industries in 2007 were electronics ( 22 % ) ; machinery , vehicles , and other engineered metal products ( 21.1 % ) ; forest industry ( 13 % ) ; and chemicals ( 11 % ) . The gross domestic product peaked in 2008 . As of 2015 , the country 's economy is at the 2006 level . Finland has significant timber , mineral ( iron , chromium , copper , nickel , and gold ) , and freshwater resources . Forestry , paper factories , and the agricultural sector ( on which taxpayers spend around 3 billion euros annually ) are important for rural residents so any policy changes affecting these sectors are politically sensitive for politicians dependent on rural votes . The Greater Helsinki area generates around one third of Finland 's GDP . In a 2004 OECD comparison , high - technology manufacturing in Finland ranked second largest after Ireland . Knowledge - intensive services have also resulted in the smallest and slow - growth sectors -- especially agriculture and low - technology manufacturing -- being ranked the second largest after Ireland . The overall short - term outlook was good and GDP growth has been above that of many EU peers . Finland GDP growth from 2000 till 2013 Finland is highly integrated into the global economy , and international trade produces one third of GDP . Trade with the European Union makes up 60 % of Finland 's total trade . The largest trade flows are with Germany , Russia , Sweden , the United Kingdom , the United States , the Netherlands , and China . Trade policy is managed by the European Union , where Finland has traditionally been among the free trade supporters , except for agricultural policy . Finland is the only Nordic country to have joined the Eurozone . Finland 's climate and soils make growing crops a particular challenge . The country lies between the latitudes 60 ° N and 70 ° N , and it has severe winters and relatively short growing seasons that are sometimes interrupted by frost . However , because the Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Drift Current moderate the climate , Finland contains half of the world 's arable land north of 60 ° north latitude . Annual precipitation is usually sufficient , but it occurs almost exclusively during the winter months , making summer droughts a constant threat . In response to the climate , farmers have relied on quick - ripening and frost - resistant varieties of crops , and they have cultivated south - facing slopes as well as richer bottomlands to ensure production even in years with summer frosts . Most farmland was originally either forest or swamp , and the soil has usually required treatment with lime and years of cultivation to neutralize excess acid and to improve fertility . Irrigation has generally not been necessary , but drainage systems are often needed to remove excess water . Finland 's agriculture has been efficient and productive -- at least when compared with farming in other European countries . Finland is part of the Eurozone , the Schengen Area , and the EU single market . Forests play a key role in the country 's economy , making it one of the world 's leading wood producers and providing raw materials at competitive prices for the crucial wood - processing industries . As in agriculture , the government has long played a leading role in forestry , regulating tree cutting , sponsoring technical improvements , and establishing long - term plans to ensure that the country 's forests continue to supply the wood - processing industries . To maintain the country 's comparative advantage in forest products , Finnish authorities moved to raise lumber output toward the country 's ecological limits . In 1984 , the government published the Forest 2000 plan , drawn up by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry . The plan aimed at increasing forest harvests by about 3 % per year , while conserving forestland for recreation and other uses . Private sector employees amount to 1.8 million , out of which around a third with tertiary education . The average cost of a private sector employee per hour was 25.1 euros in 2004 . As of 2008 , average purchasing power - adjusted income levels are similar to those of Italy , Sweden , Germany , and France . In 2006 , 62 % of the workforce worked for enterprises with less than 250 employees and they accounted for 49 % of total business turnover and had the strongest rate of growth . The female employment rate is high . Gender segregation between male - dominated professions and female - dominated professions is higher than in the US . The proportion of part - time workers was one of the lowest in OECD in 1999 . In 2013 , the 10 largest private sector employers in Finland were Itella , Nokia , OP - Pohjola , ISS , VR , Kesko , UPM - Kymmene , YIT , Metso , and Nordea . The unemployment rate was 9.4 % in 2015 , having risen from 8.7 % in 2014 . Youth unemployment rate rose from 16.5 % in 2007 to 20.5 % in 2014 . A fifth of residents are outside the job market at the age of 50 and less than a third are working at the age of 61 . As of today , nearly one million people are living with minimal wages or unemployed not enough to cover their costs of living . As of 2006 , 2.4 million households reside in Finland . The average size is 2.1 persons ; 40 % of households consist of a single person , 32 % two persons and 28 % three or more persons . Residential buildings total 1.2 million , and the average residential space is 38 square metres ( 410 sq ft ) per person . The average residential property without land costs 1,187 euro per sq metre and residential land 8.6 euro per sq metre. 74 % of households had a car . There are 2.5 million cars and 0.4 million other vehicles . Around 92 % have a mobile phone and 83.5 % ( 2009 ) Internet connection at home . The average total household consumption was 20,000 euro , out of which housing consisted of about 5,500 euro , transport about 3,000 euro , food and beverages excluding alcoholic beverages at around 2,500 euro , and recreation and culture at around 2,000 euro . According to Invest in Finland , private consumption grew by 3 % in 2006 and consumer trends included durables , high quality products , and spending on well - being . Energy ( edit ) The two existing units of the Olkiluoto Nuclear Power Plant . On the far left is a visualization of a third unit , which , when completed , will become Finland 's fifth commercial nuclear reactor . See also : Nordic energy market and Nuclear power in Finland Anyone can enter the free and largely privately owned financial and physical Nordic energy markets traded in NASDAQ OMX Commodities Europe and Nord Pool Spot exchanges , which have provided competitive prices compared with other EU countries . As of 2007 , Finland has roughly the lowest industrial electricity prices in the EU - 15 ( equal to France ) . In 2006 , the energy market was around 90 terawatt hours and the peak demand around 15 gigawatts in winter . This means that the energy consumption per capita is around 7.2 tons of oil equivalent per year . Industry and construction consumed 51 % of total consumption , a relatively high figure reflecting Finland 's industries . Finland 's hydrocarbon resources are limited to peat and wood . About 10 -- 15 % of the electricity is produced by hydropower , which is low compared with more mountainous Sweden or Norway . In 2008 , renewable energy ( mainly hydropower and various forms of wood energy ) was high at 31 % compared with the EU average of 10.3 % in final energy consumption . Supply and total consumption of electricity in Finland Finland has four privately owned nuclear reactors producing 18 % of the country 's energy and one research reactor at the Otaniemi campus . The fifth AREVA - Siemens - built reactor -- the world 's largest at 1600 MWe and a focal point of Europe 's nuclear industry -- has faced many delays and is currently scheduled to be operational by 2018 -- 2020 , a decade after the original planned opening . A varying amount ( 5 -- 17 % ) of electricity has been imported from Russia ( at around 3 gigawatt power line capacity ) , Sweden and Norway . Energy companies are about to increase nuclear power production , as in July 2010 the Finnish parliament granted permits for additional two new reactors . Transport ( edit ) Main article : Transport in Finland Icebreakers enable shipping even during severe winters . The state - owned VR Group operates a railway network serving all major cities . The extensive road system is utilized by most internal cargo and passenger traffic . The annual state operated road network expenditure of around 1 billion euro is paid with vehicle and fuel taxes which amount to around 1.5 billion euro and 1 billion euro . The main international passenger gateway is Helsinki Airport with about 17 million passengers in 2016 . Oulu Airport is the second largest , whilst another 25 airports have scheduled passenger services . The Helsinki Airport - based Finnair , Blue1 , and Nordic Regional Airlines , Norwegian Air Shuttle sell air services both domestically and internationally . Helsinki has an optimal location for great circle ( i.e. the shortest and most efficient ) routes between Western Europe and the Far East . Despite low population density , the Government spends annually around 350 million euro in maintaining 5,865 kilometres ( 3,644 mi ) of railway tracks . Rail transport is handled by state owned VR Group , which has 5 % passenger market share ( out of which 80 % are urban trips in Greater Helsinki ) and 25 % cargo market share . Since 12 December 2010 , Karelian Trains , a joint venture between Russian Railways and VR ( Finnish Railways ) , has been running Alstom Pendolino operated high - speed services between Saint Petersburg 's Finlyandsky and Helsinki 's Central railway stations . These services are branded as `` Allegro '' trains . The journey from Helsinki to Saint Petersburg takes only three and a half hours . The majority of international cargo utilizes ports . Port logistics prices are low . Vuosaari Harbour in Helsinki is the largest container port after completion in 2008 and others include Kotka , Hamina , Hanko , Pori , Rauma , and Oulu . There is passenger traffic from Helsinki and Turku , which have ferry connections to Tallinn , Mariehamn , and Stockholm . The Helsinki - Tallinn route , one of the busiest passenger sea routes in the world , has also been served by a helicopter line . Industry ( edit ) Main article : Economy of Finland Former headquarters of electronics corporation Nokia in Espoo . Finnair Airbus A350 XWB . Finland was rapidly industrialized after World War II , achieving GDP per capita levels equal to that of Japan or the UK in the beginning of the 1970s . Initially , most development was based on two broad groups of export - led industries , the `` metal industry '' ( metalliteollisuus ) and `` forest industry '' ( metsäteollisuus ) . The `` metal industry '' includes shipbuilding , metalworking , the car industry , engineered products such as motors and electronics , and production of metals ( steel , copper and chromium ) . The world 's biggest cruise ships are built in Finnish shipyards . The `` forest industry '' ( metsäteollisuus ) includes forestry , timber , pulp and paper , and is a logical development based on Finland 's extensive forest resources ( 77 % of the area is covered by forest , most of it in renewable use ) . In the pulp and paper industry , many of the largest companies are based in Finland ( Ahlstrom , Metsä Board , and UPM ) . However , the Finnish economy has diversified , with expansion into fields such as electronics ( e.g. Nokia ) , metrology ( Vaisala ) , transport fuels ( Neste ) , chemicals ( Kemira ) , engineering consulting ( Pöyry ) , and information technology ( e.g. Rovio Entertainment , known for Angry Birds ) , and is no longer dominated by the two sectors of metal and forest industry . Likewise , the structure has changed , with the service sector growing , with manufacturing reducing in importance ; agriculture is only a minor part . Despite this , production for export is still more prominent than in Western Europe , thus making Finland more vulnerable to global economic trends . In an Economist Intelligence Unit report released in September 2011 , Finland clinched the second place after the United States on Benchmarking IT Industry Competitiveness 2011 which scored on 6 key indicators : overall business environment , technology infrastructure , human capital , legal framework , public support for industry development , and research and development landscape . Public policy ( edit ) See also : Nordic model Finnish politicians have often emulated other Nordics and the Nordic model . Nordics have been free - trading and relatively welcoming to skilled migrants for over a century , though in Finland immigration is relatively new . The level of protection in commodity trade has been low , except for agricultural products . Finland has top levels of economic freedom in many areas . Finland is ranked 16th in the 2008 global Index of Economic Freedom and 9th in Europe . While the manufacturing sector is thriving , the OECD points out that the service sector would benefit substantially from policy improvements . The 2007 IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook ranked Finland 17th most competitive . The World Economic Forum 2008 index ranked Finland the 6th most competitive . In both indicators , Finland 's performance was next to Germany , and significantly higher than most European countries . In the Business competitiveness index 2007 -- 2008 Finland ranked third in the world . Economists attribute much growth to reforms in the product markets . According to the OECD , only four EU - 15 countries have less regulated product markets ( UK , Ireland , Denmark and Sweden ) and only one has less regulated financial markets ( Denmark ) . Nordic countries were pioneers in liberalizing energy , postal , and other markets in Europe . The legal system is clear and business bureaucracy less than most countries . Property rights are well protected and contractual agreements are strictly honoured . Finland is rated the least corrupt country in the world in the Corruption Perceptions Index and 13th in the Ease of doing business index . This indicates exceptional ease in cross-border trading ( 5th ) , contract enforcement ( 7th ) , business closure ( 5th ) , tax payment ( 83rd ) , and low worker hardship ( 127th ) . Finnish law forces all workers to obey the national contracts that are drafted every few years for each profession and seniority level . The agreement becomes universally enforceable provided that more than 50 % of the employees support it , in practice by being a member of a relevant trade union . The unionization rate is high ( 70 % ) , especially in the middle class ( AKAVA -- 80 % ) . A lack of a national agreement in an industry is considered an exception .

( July 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Eckerö Line Finlandia , one of the Baltic Sea cruiseferries In 2005 , Finnish tourism grossed over € 6.7 billion with a 5 % increase from the previous year . Much of the sudden growth can be attributed to the globalisation and modernisation of the country as well as a rise in positive publicity and awareness . There are many attractions in Finland which attracted over 8 million visitors in 2013 . The Finnish landscape is covered with thick pine forests and rolling hills , and complemented with a labyrinth of lakes and inlets . Much of Finland is pristine and virgin as it contains 40 national parks from the Southern shores of the Gulf of Finland to the high fells of Lapland . Finland also has urbanised regions with many cultural events and activities . Commercial cruises between major coastal and port cities in the Baltic region , including Helsinki , Turku , Tallinn , Stockholm , and Travemünde , play a significant role in the local tourism industry . Finland is locally regarded as the home of Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus , living in the northern Lapland region . Above the Arctic Circle , in midwinter , there is a polar night , a period when the sun does not rise for days or weeks , or even months , and correspondingly , midnight sun in the summer , with no sunset even at midnight ( for up to 73 consecutive days , at the northernmost point ) . Lapland is so far north that the Aurora Borealis , fluorescence in the high atmosphere due to solar wind , is seen regularly in the fall , winter , and spring . Outdoor activities range from Nordic skiing , golf , fishing , yachting , lake cruises , hiking , and kayaking , among many others . Wildlife is abundant in Finland . Bird - watching is popular for those fond of avifauna , however hunting is also popular . Elk and hare are common game in Finland . Olavinlinna in Savonlinna hosts the annual Savonlinna Opera Festival . Demographics ( edit ) Main article : Demographics of Finland Population of Finland by age group and sex in 2013 The population of Finland is currently about 5.5 million inhabitants and is aging with the birth rate at 10.42 births per 1,000 population per year , or a fertility rate of 1.8 with a median age of 42.7 years . Approximately half of voters are estimated to be over 50 years old . Finland has an average population density of 18 inhabitants per square kilometre . This is the third - lowest population density of any European country , behind those of Norway and Iceland , and the lowest population density in the EU . Finland 's population has always been concentrated in the southern parts of the country , a phenomenon that became even more pronounced during 20th - century urbanisation . The largest cities in Finland are those of the Greater Helsinki metropolitan area -- Helsinki , Espoo , and Vantaa . Other cities with population over 100,000 are Tampere , Turku , Oulu , Jyväskylä , Kuopio , and Lahti . As of 2014 , there were 322,700 people with a foreign background living in Finland ( 5.9 % of the population ) , most of whom are from Russia , Estonia , Somalia , Iraq and Yugoslavia . The children of foreigners are not automatically given Finnish citizenship , as Finnish nationality law practices and maintain jus sanguinis policy where only children born to at least one Finnish parent are granted citizenship . If they are born in Finland and can not get citizenship of any other country , they become citizens . Additionally , certain persons of Finnish descent who reside in countries that were once part of Soviet Union , retain the right of return , a right to establish permanent residency in the country , which would eventually entitle them to qualify for citizenship .

It was the first state church to be disestablished in the Nordic countries , to be followed by the Church of Sweden in 2000 . The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland sees its share of the country 's population declining by roughly one percent annually in recent years . The decline has been due to both church membership resignations and falling baptism rates . The second largest group , accounting for 25.3 % of the population in 2016 , has no religious affiliation . The irreligious group rose quickly from just below 13 % in the year 2000 . A small minority belongs to the Finnish Orthodox Church ( 1.1 % ) . Other Protestant denominations and the Roman Catholic Church are significantly smaller , as are the Muslim , Jewish , and other non-Christian communities ( totalling 1.6 % ) . The main Lutheran and Orthodox churches are national churches of Finland with special roles such as in state ceremonies and schools . In 1869 , Finland was the first Nordic country to disestablish its Evangelical Lutheran church by introducing the Church Act . Although the church still maintains a special relationship with the state , it is not described as a state religion in the Finnish Constitution or other laws passed by the Finnish Parliament . Finland 's state church was the Church of Sweden until 1809 . As an autonomous Grand Duchy under Russia 1809 -- 1917 , Finland retained the Lutheran State Church system , and a state church separate from Sweden , later named the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland , was established . It was detached from the state as a separate judicial entity when the new church law came to force in 1869 . After Finland had gained independence in 1917 , religious freedom was declared in the constitution of 1919 and a separate law on religious freedom in 1922 . Through this arrangement , the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland lost its position as a state church but gained a constitutional status as a national church alongside the Finnish Orthodox Church , whose position however is not codified in the constitution . In 2016 , 69.3 % of Finnish children were baptized and 82.3 % were confirmed in 2012 at the age of 15 , and over 90 % of the funerals are Christian . However , the majority of Lutherans attend church only for special occasions like Christmas ceremonies , weddings , and funerals . The Lutheran Church estimates that approximately 1.8 % of its members attend church services weekly . The average number of church visits per year by church members is approximately two . According to a 2010 Eurobarometer poll , 33 % of Finnish citizens responded that `` they believe there is a God '' ; 42 % answered that `` they believe there is some sort of spirit or life force '' ; and 22 % that `` they do not believe there is any sort of spirit , God , or life force '' . According to ISSP survey data ( 2008 ) , 8 % consider themselves `` highly religious '' , and 31 % `` moderately religious '' . In the same survey , 28 % reported themselves as `` agnostic '' and 29 % as `` non-religious '' . Health ( edit ) Main article : Healthcare in Finland Life expectancy has increased from 71 years for men and 79 years for women in 1990 to 78 years for men and 84 years for women in 2012 . The under - five mortality rate has decreased from 51 per 1,000 live births in 1950 to 3 per 1,000 live births in 2012 ranking Finland 's rate among the lowest in the world . The fertility rate in 2014 stood at 1.71 children born / per woman and has been below the replacement rate of 2.1 since 1969 . With a low birth rate women also become mothers at a later age , the mean age at first live birth being 28.6 in 2014 . There has been a slight increase or no change in welfare and health inequalities between population groups in the 21st century . Lifestyle - related diseases are on the rise . More than half a million Finns suffer from diabetes , type 1 diabetes being globally the most common in Finland . Many children are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes . The number of musculoskeletal diseases and cancers are increasing , although the cancer prognosis has improved . Allergies and dementia are also growing health problems in Finland . One of the most common reasons for work disability are due to mental disorders , in particular depression . There are 307 residents for each doctor . About 19 % of health care is funded directly by households and 77 % by taxation . A recent study by The Lancet medical journal found that Finland has the lowest stillbirth rate out of 193 countries , including the UK , France , and New Zealand . In April 2012 , Finland was ranked 2nd in Gross National Happiness in a report published by The Earth Institute . Education and science ( edit ) Auditorium in Aalto University 's main building , designed by Alvar Aalto . Pupils at the school of Torvinen in Sodankylä , Finland , in the 1920s Main article : Education in Finland See also : List of universities in Finland and List of schools in Finland Most pre-tertiary education is arranged at municipal level . Even though many or most schools were started as private schools , today only around 3 percent of students are enrolled in private schools ( mostly specialist language and international schools ) , much less than in Sweden and most other developed countries . Pre-school education is rare compared with other EU countries and formal education is usually started at the age of 7 . Primary school takes normally six years and lower secondary school three years . Most schools are managed by municipal officials . The flexible curriculum is set by the Ministry of Education and the Education Board . Education is compulsory between the ages of 7 and 16 . After lower secondary school , graduates may either enter the workforce directly , or apply to trade schools or gymnasiums ( upper secondary schools ) . Trade schools offer a vocational education : approximately 40 % of an age group choose this path after the lower secondary school . Academically oriented gymnasiums have higher entrance requirements and specifically prepare for Abitur and tertiary education . Graduation from either formally qualifies for tertiary education . In tertiary education , two mostly separate and non-interoperating sectors are found : the profession - oriented polytechnics and the research - oriented universities . Education is free and living expenses are to a large extent financed by the government through student benefits . There are 20 universities and 30 polytechnics in the country . The University of Helsinki is ranked 75th in the Top University Ranking of 2010 . The World Economic Forum ranks Finland 's tertiary education No. 1 in the world . Around 33 % of residents have a tertiary degree , similar to Nordics and more than in most other OECD countries except Canada ( 44 % ) , United States ( 38 % ) and Japan ( 37 % ) . The proportion of foreign students is 3 % of all tertiary enrollments , one of the lowest in OECD , while in advanced programs it is 7.3 % , still below OECD average 16.5 % . More than 30 % of tertiary graduates are in science - related fields . Forest improvement , materials research , environmental sciences , neural networks , low - temperature physics , brain research , biotechnology , genetic technology , and communications showcase fields of study where Finnish researchers have had a significant impact . Finland has a long tradition of adult education , and by the 1980s nearly one million Finns were receiving some kind of instruction each year . Forty percent of them did so for professional reasons . Adult education appeared in a number of forms , such as secondary evening schools , civic and workers ' institutes , study centres , vocational course centres , and folk high schools . Study centres allowed groups to follow study plans of their own making , with educational and financial assistance provided by the state . Folk high schools are a distinctly Nordic institution . Originating in Denmark in the nineteenth century , folk high schools became common throughout the region . Adults of all ages could stay at them for several weeks and take courses in subjects that ranged from handicrafts to economics . Finland is highly productive in scientific research . In 2005 , Finland had the fourth most scientific publications per capita of the OECD countries . In 2007 , 1,801 patents were filed in Finland . In addition , 38 percent of Finland 's population has a university or college degree , which is among the highest percentages in the world . In 2010 a new law was enacted considering the universities , which defined that there are 16 of them as they were excluded from the public sector to be autonomous legal and financial entities , however enjoying special status in the legislation . As result many former state institutions were driven to collect funding from private sector contributions and partnerships . The change caused deep rooted discussions among the academic circles . English language is important in Finnish education . There are a number of degree programs that are taught in English , which attracts thousands of degree and exchange students every year . Culture ( edit ) Mikael Agricola , a Lutheran Protestant reformer and the father of the Finnish written language . Main article : Culture of Finland Literature ( edit ) Main article : Finnish literature Written Finnish could be said to have existed since Mikael Agricola translated the New Testament into Finnish during the Protestant Reformation , but few notable works of literature were written until the nineteenth century and the beginning of a Finnish national Romantic Movement . This prompted Elias Lönnrot to collect Finnish and Karelian folk poetry and arrange and publish them as the Kalevala , the Finnish national epic . The era saw a rise of poets and novelists who wrote in Finnish , notably Aleksis Kivi and Eino Leino . Many writers of the national awakening wrote in Swedish , such as the national poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg and Zachris Topelius . After Finland became independent , there was a rise of modernist writers , most famously the Finnish - speaking Mika Waltari and Swedish - speaking Edith Södergran . Frans Eemil Sillanpää was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1939 . World War II prompted a return to more national interests in comparison to a more international line of thought , characterized by Väinö Linna . Besides Kalevala and Waltari , the Swedish - speaking Tove Jansson is the most translated Finnish writer . Popular modern writers include Arto Paasilinna , Ilkka Remes , Kari Hotakainen , Sofi Oksanen , and Jari Tervo , while the best novel is annually awarded the prestigious Finlandia Prize . Akseli Gallen - Kallela , The Defense of the Sampo , 1896 , Turku Art Museum . Visual arts , design , and architecture ( edit ) See also : Architecture of Finland and Art in Finland The visual arts in Finland started to form their individual characteristics in the 19th century , when Romantic nationalism was rising in autonomic Finland . The best known of Finnish painters , Akseli Gallen - Kallela , started painting in a naturalist style , but moved to national romanticism . Finland 's best - known sculptor of the twentieth century was Wäinö Aaltonen , remembered for his monumental busts and sculptures . Finns have made major contributions to handicrafts and industrial design : among the internationally renowned figures are Timo Sarpaneva , Tapio Wirkkala and Ilmari Tapiovaara . Finnish architecture is famous around the world , and has contributed significantly to several styles internationally , such as Jugendstil ( or Art Nouveau ) , Nordic Classicism and Functionalism . Among the top twentieth - century Finnish architects to gain international recognition are Eliel Saarinen and his son Eero Saarinen . Architect Alvar Aalto is regarded as among the most important twentieth - century designers in the world ; he helped bring functionalist architecture to Finland , but soon was a pioneer in its development towards an organic style . Aalto is also famous for his work in furniture , lamps , textiles and glassware , which were usually incorporated into his buildings . Music ( edit ) The Finnish composer Jean Sibelius ( 1865 -- 1957 ) , a significant figure in the history of classical music . Main articles : Music of Finland , Rock music in Finland , and Sami music Classical ( edit ) Much of Finland 's classical music is influenced by traditional Karelian melodies and lyrics , as comprised in the Kalevala . Karelian culture is perceived as the purest expression of the Finnic myths and beliefs , less influenced by Germanic influence than the Nordic folk dance music that largely replaced the kalevaic tradition . Finnish folk music has undergone a roots revival in recent decades , and has become a part of popular music . The people of northern Finland , Sweden , and Norway , the Sami , are known primarily for highly spiritual songs called joik . The same word sometimes refers to lavlu or vuelie songs , though this is technically incorrect . The first Finnish opera was written by the German - born composer Fredrik Pacius in 1852 . Pacius also wrote the music to the poem Maamme / Vårt land ( Our Country ) , Finland 's national anthem . In the 1890s Finnish nationalism based on the Kalevala spread , and Jean Sibelius became famous for his vocal symphony Kullervo . He soon received a grant to study runo singers in Karelia and continued his rise as the first prominent Finnish musician . In 1899 he composed Finlandia , which played its important role in Finland gaining independence . He remains one of Finland 's most popular national figures and is a symbol of the nation . Today , Finland has a very lively classical music scene and many of Finland 's important composers are still alive , such as Magnus Lindberg , Kaija Saariaho , Kalevi Aho , and Aulis Sallinen . The composers are accompanied by a large number of great conductors such as Esa - Pekka Salonen , Osmo Vänskä , Jukka - Pekka Saraste , and Leif Segerstam . Some of the internationally acclaimed Finnish classical musicians are Karita Mattila , Soile Isokoski , Pekka Kuusisto , Olli Mustonen , and Linda Lampenius . Modern ( edit ) Perttu Kivilaakso of Apocalyptica . Iskelmä ( coined directly from the German word Schlager , meaning `` hit '' ) is a traditional Finnish word for a light popular song . Finnish popular music also includes various kinds of dance music ; tango , a style of Argentine music , is also popular . The light music in Swedish - speaking areas has more influences from Sweden . Modern Finnish popular music includes a number of prominent rock bands , jazz musicians , hip hop performers , dance music acts , etc . During the early 1960s , the first significant wave of Finnish rock groups emerged , playing instrumental rock inspired by groups such as The Shadows . Around 1964 , Beatlemania arrived in Finland , resulting in further development of the local rock scene . During the late 1960s and 1970s , Finnish rock musicians increasingly wrote their own music instead of translating international hits into Finnish . During the decade , some progressive rock groups such as Tasavallan Presidentti and Wigwam gained respect abroad but failed to make a commercial breakthrough outside Finland . This was also the fate of the rock and roll group Hurriganes . The Finnish punk scene produced some internationally acknowledged names including Terveet Kädet in the 1980s . Hanoi Rocks was a pioneering 1980s glam rock act that inspired the American hard rock group Guns N ' Roses , among others . Many Finnish metal bands have gained international recognition . HIM and Nightwish are some of Finland 's most internationally known bands . HIM 's 2005 album Dark Light went gold in the United States . Apocalyptica are an internationally famous Finnish group who are most renowned for mixing strings - led classical music with classic heavy metal . Other well - known metal bands are Amorphis , Children of Bodom , Impaled Nazarene , Korpiklaani , Sentenced , Sonata Arctica , Stratovarius , Turisas , Finntroll , Ensiferum , Insomnium , Moonsorrow , Wintersun , Poets of the Fall , and Waltari . After Finnish hard rock / heavy metal band Lordi won the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest , Finland hosted the competition in 2007 . Cinema and television ( edit ) Main articles : Cinema of Finland and Television in Finland See also : Lists of Finnish films In the film industry , notable directors include Aki Kaurismäki , Mauritz Stiller , Spede Pasanen , and Hollywood film director and producer Renny Harlin . Around twelve feature films are made each year . Finland 's most internationally successful TV shows are the backpacking travel documentary series Madventures and the reality TV show The Dudesons , about four childhood friends who perform stunts and play pranks on each other ( in similar vein to the American TV show Jackass ) . Media and Communications ( edit ) Linus Torvalds , the Finnish software engineer best known for creating the popular open - source kernel Linux . See also : Telecommunications in Finland and List of newspapers in Finland Thanks to its emphasis on transparency and equal rights , Finland 's press has been rated the freest in the world . Today , there are around 200 newspapers , 320 popular magazines , 2,100 professional magazines , 67 commercial radio stations , three digital radio channels and one nationwide and five national public service radio channels . Each year , around 12,000 book titles are published and 12 million records are sold . Sanoma publishes the newspaper Helsingin Sanomat ( its circulation of 412,000 making it the largest ) , the tabloid Ilta - Sanomat , the commerce - oriented Taloussanomat and the television channel Nelonen . The other major publisher Alma Media publishes over thirty magazines , including the newspaper Aamulehti , tabloid Iltalehti and commerce - oriented Kauppalehti . Worldwide , Finns , along with other Nordic peoples and the Japanese , spend the most time reading newspapers . Yle , the Finnish Broadcasting Company , operates five television channels and thirteen radio channels in both national languages . Yle is funded through a mandatory television license and fees for private broadcasters . All TV channels are broadcast digitally , both terrestrially and on cable . The commercial television channel MTV3 and commercial radio channel Radio Nova are owned by Nordic Broadcasting ( Bonnier and Proventus Industrier ) . In regards to telecommunication infrastructure , Finland is the highest ranked country in the World Economic Forum 's Network Readiness Index ( NRI ) -- an indicator for determining the development level of a country 's information and communication technologies . Finland ranked 1st overall in the 2014 NRI ranking , unchanged from the year before . This is shown in its penetration throughout the country 's population . Around 79 % of the population use the Internet . Finland had around 1.52 million broadband Internet connections by the end of June 2007 or around 287 per 1,000 inhabitants . All Finnish schools and public libraries have Internet connections and computers and most residents have a mobile phone . Value - added services are rare . In October 2009 , Finland 's Ministry of Transport and Communications committed to ensuring that every person in Finland would be able to access the Internet at a minimum speed of one megabit - per - second beginning July 2010 . Cuisine ( edit ) Main article : Finnish cuisine Karelian pasty ( karjalanpiirakka ) is a traditional Finnish dish made from a thin rye crust with a filling of rice . Butter , often mixed with boiled egg ( eggbutter or munavoi ) , is spread over the hot pastries before eating . Finnish cuisine is notable for generally combining traditional country fare and haute cuisine with contemporary style cooking . Fish and meat play a prominent role in traditional Finnish dishes from the western part of the country , while the dishes from the eastern part have traditionally included various vegetables and mushrooms . Refugees from Karelia contributed to foods in eastern Finland . Finnish foods often use wholemeal products ( rye , barley , oats ) and berries ( such as bilberries , lingonberries , cloudberries , and sea buckthorn ) . Milk and its derivatives like buttermilk are commonly used as food , drink , or in various recipes . Various turnips were common in traditional cooking , but were replaced with the potato after its introduction in the 18th century . According to the statistics , red meat consumption has risen , but still Finns eat less beef than many other nations , and more fish and poultry . This is mainly because of the high cost of meat in Finland . Finland is the top world consumer of coffee per capita . Public holidays ( edit ) Main articles : Public holidays in Finland and Flag days in Finland All official holidays in Finland are established by Acts of Parliament . Christian holidays include Christmas , New Year 's Day , Epiphany , Easter , Ascension Day , Pentecost , Midsummer Day ( St. John 's Day ) , and All Saints ' Day , while secular holidays include May Day , Independence Day , New Year 's Day , and Midsummer . Christmas is the most extensively celebrated , and at least 24 to 26 December is taken as a holiday . Sports ( edit ) Finland 's men 's national ice hockey team is ranked as one of the best in the world . The team has won two world championship titles ( in 1995 & 2011 ) and six Olympic medals . Main article : Sport in Finland Various sporting events are popular in Finland . Pesäpallo , resembling baseball , is the national sport of Finland , although the most popular sports in terms of spectators is ice hockey . Ice Hockey World Championships 2016 final Finland - Canada , 69 % Finnish people watched that game on TV . Other popular sports include athletics , cross-country skiing , ski jumping , football and basketball . While ice hockey is the most popular sports when it comes to attendance at games , association football is the most played team sport in terms of the amount of players in the country and is also the most appreciated sports in Finland . In terms of medals and gold medals won per capita , Finland is the best performing country in Olympic history . Finland first participated as a nation in its own right at the Olympic Games in 1908 , while still an autonomous Grand Duchy within the Russian Empire . At the 1912 Summer Olympics , great pride was taken in the three gold medals won by the original `` Flying Finn '' Hannes Kolehmainen . Finland was one of the most successful countries at the Olympic Games before World War II . At the 1924 Summer Olympics , Finland , a nation then of only 3.2 million people , came second in the medal count . In the 1920s and 1930s , Finnish long - distance runners dominated the Olympics , with Paavo Nurmi winning a total of nine Olympic gold medals between 1920 and 1928 and setting 22 official world records between 1921 and 1931 . Nurmi is often considered the greatest Finnish sportsman and one of the greatest athletes of all time . For over 100 years , Finnish male and female athletes have consistently excelled at the javelin throw . The event has brought Finland nine Olympic gold medals , five world championships , five European championships , and 24 world records . In addition to Kolehmainen and Nurmi , some of Finland 's most internationally well - known and successful sportspeople are long - distance runners Ville Ritola and Lasse Virén ; ski - jumpers Matti Nykänen and Janne Ahonen ; cross-country skiers Veikko Hakulinen , Eero Mäntyranta , Marja - Liisa Kirvesniemi and Mika Myllylä ; rower Pertti Karppinen ; gymnast Heikki Savolainen ; professional skateboarder Arto Saari ; ice hockey players Kimmo Timonen , Jari Kurri , Teemu Selänne , and Saku Koivu ; football players Jari Litmanen and Sami Hyypiä ; basketball player Hanno Möttölä ; alpine skiers Kalle Palander and Tanja Poutiainen ; Formula One world champions Keke Rosberg , Mika Häkkinen and Kimi Räikkönen ; four - time World Rally champions Juha Kankkunen and Tommi Mäkinen ; and 13 - time World Enduro Champion Juha Salminen , seven - time champion Kari Tiainen , and the five - time champions Mika Ahola , biathlete Kaisa Mäkäräinen and Samuli Aro .

Scandinavian Political Studies . Wiley . 24 ( 2 ) : 95 -- 109 . doi : 10.1111 / 1467 - 9477.00048 . as follows : `` There are hardly any grounds for the epithet ' semi-presidential ' . '' Arter 's own conclusions are only slightly more nuanced : `` The adoption of a new constitution on 1 March 2000 meant that Finland was no longer a case of semi-presidential government other than in the minimalist sense of a situation where a popularly elected fixed - term president exists alongside a prime minister and cabinet who are responsible to parliament ( Elgie 2004 : 317 ) '' . According to the Finnish Constitution , the president has no possibility to rule the government without the ministerial approval , and does not have the power to dissolve the parliament under his or her own desire . Finland is actually represented by its prime minister , and not by its president , in the Council of the Heads of State and Government of the European Union . The 2012 constitutional amendments reduced the powers of the president even further . Jump up ^ `` Finland 's preliminary population figure 5,509,717 at the end of August '' . Tilastokeskus.fi .

I Have a Dream

I Have a Dream - wikipedia I Have a Dream Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see I Have a Dream ( disambiguation ) . Martin Luther King Jr. delivering `` I Have a Dream '' at the 1963 Washington D.C. Civil Rights March . External audio I Have a Dream , August 28 , 1963 , Educational Radio Network `` I Have a Dream '' is a public speech delivered by American civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28 , 1963 , in which he calls for an end to racism in the United States and called for civil and economic rights . Delivered to over 250,000 civil rights supporters from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington , D.C. , the speech was a defining moment of the Civil Rights Movement . Beginning with a reference to the Emancipation Proclamation , which freed millions of slaves in 1863 , King observes that : `` one hundred years later , the Negro still is not free '' . Toward the end of the speech , King departed from his prepared text for a partly improvised peroration on the theme `` I have a dream '' , prompted by Mahalia Jackson 's cry : `` Tell them about the dream , Martin ! '' In this part of the speech , which most excited the listeners and has now become its most famous , King described his dreams of freedom and equality arising from a land of slavery and hatred . Jon Meacham writes that , `` With a single phrase , Martin Luther King Jr. joined Jefferson and Lincoln in the ranks of men who 've shaped modern America '' . The speech was ranked the top American speech of the 20th century in a 1999 poll of scholars of public address . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 1.1 Speech title and the writing process 2 Speech 2.1 Similarities and allusions 3 Rhetoric 4 Responses 5 Legacy 6 Copyright dispute 7 Original copy of the speech 8 References 9 External links Background View from the Lincoln Memorial toward the Washington Monument on August 28 , 1963 The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom was partly intended to demonstrate mass support for the civil rights legislation proposed by President Kennedy in June . Martin Luther King and other leaders therefore agreed to keep their speeches calm , also , to avoid provoking the civil disobedience which had become the hallmark of the Civil Rights Movement . King originally designed his speech as a homage to Abraham Lincoln 's Gettysburg Address , timed to correspond with the 100 - year centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation . Speech title and the writing process King had been preaching about dreams since 1960 , when he gave a speech to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ( NAACP ) called `` The Negro and the American Dream '' . This speech discusses the gap between the American dream and reality , saying that overt white supremacists have violated the dream , and that `` our federal government has also scarred the dream through its apathy and hypocrisy , its betrayal of the cause of justice '' . King suggests that `` It may well be that the Negro is God 's instrument to save the soul of America . '' In 1961 , he spoke of the Civil Rights Movement and student activists ' `` dream '' of equality -- `` the American Dream ... a dream as yet unfulfilled '' -- in several national speeches and statements , and took `` the dream '' as the centerpiece for these speeches . On November 27 , 1962 , King gave a speech at Booker T. Washington High School in Rocky Mount , North Carolina . That speech was longer than the version which he would eventually deliver from the Lincoln Memorial . And while parts of the text had been moved around , large portions were identical , including the `` I have a dream '' refrain . After being rediscovered , the restored and digitized recording of the 1962 speech was presented to the public by the English department of North Carolina State University . Martin Luther King had also delivered a `` dream '' speech in Detroit , in June 1963 , when he marched on Woodward Avenue with Walter Reuther and the Reverend C.L. Franklin , and had rehearsed other parts . The March on Washington Speech , known as `` I Have a Dream Speech '' , has been shown to have had several versions , written at several different times . It has no single version draft , but is an amalgamation of several drafts , and was originally called `` Normalcy , Never Again '' . Little of this , and another `` Normalcy Speech '' , ended up in the final draft . A draft of `` Normalcy , Never Again '' is housed in the Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr . Collection of the Robert W. Woodruff Library , Atlanta University Center and Morehouse College . The focus on `` I have a dream '' comes through the speech 's delivery . Toward the end of its delivery , noted African American gospel singer Mahalia Jackson shouted to King from the crowd , `` Tell them about the dream , Martin . '' King departed from his prepared remarks and started `` preaching '' improvisationally , punctuating his points with `` I have a dream . '' The speech was drafted with the assistance of Stanley Levison and Clarence Benjamin Jones in Riverdale , New York City . Jones has said that `` the logistical preparations for the march were so burdensome that the speech was not a priority for us '' and that , `` on the evening of Tuesday , Aug. 27 , ( 12 hours before the march ) Martin still did n't know what he was going to say '' . Leading up to the speech 's rendition at the Great March on Washington , King had delivered its `` I have a dream '' refrains in his speech before 25,000 people in Detroit 's Cobo Hall immediately after the 125,000 - strong Great Walk to Freedom in Detroit , June 23 , 1963 . After the Washington , D.C. March , a recording of King 's Cobo Hall speech was released by Detroit 's Gordy Records as an LP entitled `` The Great March To Freedom '' . Speech Widely hailed as a masterpiece of rhetoric , King 's speech invokes pivotal documents in American history , including the Declaration of Independence , the Emancipation Proclamation , and the United States Constitution . Early in his speech , King alludes to Abraham Lincoln 's Gettysburg Address by saying `` Five score years ago ... '' In reference to the abolition of slavery articulated in the Emancipation Proclamation , King says : `` It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity . '' Anaphora ( i.e. , the repetition of a phrase at the beginning of sentences ) is employed throughout the speech . Early in his speech , King urges his audience to seize the moment ; `` Now is the time '' is repeated three times in the sixth paragraph . The most widely cited example of anaphora is found in the often quoted phrase `` I have a dream '' , which is repeated eight times as King paints a picture of an integrated and unified America for his audience . Other occasions include `` One hundred years later '' , `` We can never be satisfied '' , `` With this faith '' , `` Let freedom ring '' , and `` free at last '' . King was the sixteenth out of eighteen people to speak that day , according to the official program . I still have a dream , a dream deeply rooted in the American dream -- one day this nation will rise up and live up to its creed , `` We hold these truths to be self evident : that all men are created equal . '' I have a dream ... `` '' Martin Luther King Jr. ( 1963 ) Among the most quoted lines of the speech include `` I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin , but by the content of their character . I have a dream today ! '' According to U.S. Representative John Lewis , who also spoke that day as the president of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee , `` Dr. King had the power , the ability , and the capacity to transform those steps on the Lincoln Memorial into a monumental area that will forever be recognized . By speaking the way he did , he educated , he inspired , he informed not just the people there , but people throughout America and unborn generations . '' The ideas in the speech reflect King 's social experiences of ethnocentric abuse , the mistreatment and exploitation of blacks . The speech draws upon appeals to America 's myths as a nation founded to provide freedom and justice to all people , and then reinforces and transcends those secular mythologies by placing them within a spiritual context by arguing that racial justice is also in accord with God 's will . Thus , the rhetoric of the speech provides redemption to America for its racial sins . King describes the promises made by America as a `` promissory note '' on which America has defaulted . He says that `` America has given the Negro people a bad check '' , but that `` we 've come to cash this check '' by marching in Washington , D.C. Similarities and allusions Further information : Martin Luther King Jr. authorship issues King 's speech used words and ideas from his own speeches and other texts . For years , he had spoken about dreams , quoted from Samuel Francis Smith 's popular patriotic hymn `` America '' ( `` My Country , ' Tis of Thee '' ) , and of course referred extensively to the Bible . The idea of constitutional rights as an `` unfulfilled promise '' was suggested by Clarence Jones . The final passage from King 's speech closely resembles Archibald Carey Jr. 's address to the 1952 Republican National Convention : both speeches end with a recitation of the first verse of `` America '' , and the speeches share the name of one of several mountains from which both exhort `` let freedom ring '' . King also is said to have used portions of Prathia Hall 's speech at the site of a burned - down African American church in Terrell County , Georgia , in September 1962 , in which she used the repeated phrase `` I have a dream '' . The church burned down after it was used for voter registration meetings . The speech also alludes to Psalm 30 : 5 in the second stanza of the speech . Additionally , King quotes from Isaiah 40 : 4 -- 5 ( `` I have a dream that every valley shall be exalted ... '' ) and Amos 5 : 24 ( `` But let justice roll down like water ... '' ) . He also alludes to the opening lines of Shakespeare 's Richard III ( `` Now is the winter of our discontent / Made glorious summer ... '' ) when he remarks that `` this sweltering summer of the Negro 's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn ... '' Rhetoric King at the Civil Rights March on Washington , D.C The `` I Have a Dream '' speech can be dissected by using three rhetorical lenses : voice merging , prophetic voice , and dynamic spectacle . Voice merging is the combining of one 's own voice with religious predecessors . Prophetic voice is using rhetoric to speak for a population . A dynamic spectacle has origins from the Aristotelian definition as `` a weak hybrid form of drama , a theatrical concoction that relied upon external factors ( shock , sensation , and passionate release ) such as televised rituals of conflict and social control . '' Voice merging is a common technique used amongst African American preachers . It combines the voices of previous preachers and excerpts from scriptures along with their own unique thoughts to create a unique voice . King uses voice merging in his peroration when he references the secular hymn `` America '' . The rhetoric of King 's speech can be compared to the rhetoric of Old Testament prophets . During King 's speech , he speaks with urgency and crisis giving him a prophetic voice . The prophetic voice must `` restore a sense of duty and virtue amidst the decay of venality . '' An evident example is when King declares that , `` now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God 's children . '' Why King 's speech was powerful is debated , but essentially , it came at a point of many factors combining at a key cultural turning point . Executive speechwriter Anthony Trendl writes , `` The right man delivered the right words to the right people in the right place at the right time . '' `` Given the context of drama and tension in which it was situated '' , King 's speech can be classified as a dynamic spectacle . A dynamic spectacle is dependent on the situation in which it is used . It can be considered a dynamic spectacle because it happened at the correct time and place : during the Civil Rights Movement and the March on Washington . Responses The speech was lauded in the days after the event , and was widely considered the high point of the March by contemporary observers . James Reston , writing for The New York Times , said that `` Dr. King touched all the themes of the day , only better than anybody else . He was full of the symbolism of Lincoln and Gandhi , and the cadences of the Bible . He was both militant and sad , and he sent the crowd away feeling that the long journey had been worthwhile . '' Reston also noted that the event `` was better covered by television and the press than any event here since President Kennedy 's inauguration '' , and opined that `` it will be a long time before ( Washington ) forgets the melodious and melancholy voice of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. crying out his dreams to the multitude . '' An article in The Boston Globe by Mary McGrory reported that King 's speech `` caught the mood '' and `` moved the crowd '' of the day `` as no other '' speaker in the event . Marquis Childs of The Washington Post wrote that King 's speech `` rose above mere oratory '' . An article in the Los Angeles Times commented that the `` matchless eloquence '' displayed by King -- `` a supreme orator '' of `` a type so rare as almost to be forgotten in our age '' -- put to shame the advocates of segregation by inspiring the `` conscience of America '' with the justice of the civil - rights cause . The Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) , which viewed King and his allies for racial justice as subversive , also noticed the speech . This provoked the organization to expand their COINTELPRO operation against the Southern Christian Leadership Conference ( SCLC ) , and to target King specifically as a major enemy of the United States . Two days after King delivered `` I Have a Dream '' , Agent William C. Sullivan , the head of COINTELPRO , wrote a memo about King 's growing influence : In the light of King 's powerful demagogic speech yesterday he stands head and shoulders above all other Negro leaders put together when it comes to influencing great masses of Negroes . We must mark him now , if we have not done so before , as the most dangerous Negro of the future in this Nation from the standpoint of communism , the Negro and national security . The speech was a success for the Kennedy administration and for the liberal civil rights coalition that had planned it . It was considered a `` triumph of managed protest '' , and not one arrest relating to the demonstration occurred . Kennedy had watched King 's speech on television and been very impressed . Afterwards , March leaders accepted an invitation to the White House to meet with President Kennedy . Kennedy felt the March bolstered the chances for his civil rights bill . Meanwhile , some of the more radical Black leaders who were present condemned the speech ( along with the rest of the march ) as too compromising . Malcolm X later wrote in his autobiography : `` Who ever heard of angry revolutionaries swinging their bare feet together with their oppressor in lily pad pools , with gospels and guitars and ' I have a dream ' speeches ? '' Legacy The location on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial from which King delivered the speech is commemorated with this inscription The March on Washington put pressure on the Kennedy administration to advance its civil rights legislation in Congress . The diaries of Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. , published posthumously in 2007 , suggest that President Kennedy was concerned that if the march failed to attract large numbers of demonstrators , it might undermine his civil rights efforts . In the wake of the speech and march , King was named Man of the Year by TIME magazine for 1963 , and in 1964 , he was the youngest person ever awarded the Nobel Peace Prize . The full speech did not appear in writing until August 1983 , some 15 years after King 's death , when a transcript was published in The Washington Post . In 1990 , the Australian alternative comedy rock band Doug Anthony All Stars released an album called Icon . One song from Icon , `` Shang - a-lang '' , sampled the end of the speech . In 1992 , the band Moodswings , incorporated excerpts from Martin Luther King , Jr. 's `` I Have a Dream '' speech in their song `` Spiritual High , Part III . on the album Moodfood '' . In 2002 , the Library of Congress honored the speech by adding it to the United States National Recording Registry . In 2003 , the National Park Service dedicated an inscribed marble pedestal to commemorate the location of King 's speech at the Lincoln Memorial . The Martin Luther King Jr . Memorial was dedicated in 2011 . The centerpiece for the memorial is based on a line from King 's `` I Have A Dream '' speech : `` Out of a mountain of despair , a stone of hope . '' A 30 feet ( 9.1 m ) - high relief of King named the `` Stone of Hope '' stands past two other pieces of granite that symbolize the `` mountain of despair . '' On August 26 , 2013 , UK 's BBC Radio 4 broadcast `` God 's Trombone '' , in which Gary Younge looked behind the scenes of the speech and explored `` what made it both timely and timeless '' . On August 28 , 2013 , thousands gathered on the mall in Washington D.C. where King made his historic speech to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the occasion . In attendance were former U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter , and incumbent President Barack Obama , who addressed the crowd and spoke on the significance of the event . Many of King 's family were in attendance . On October 11 , 2015 , The Atlanta Journal - Constitution published an exclusive report about Stone Mountain officials considering installation of a new `` Freedom Bell '' honoring King and citing the speech 's reference to the mountain `` Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia . '' Design details and a timeline for its installation remain to be determined . The article mentioned inspiration for the proposed monument came from a bell - ringing ceremony held in 2013 in celebration of the 50th anniversary of King 's speech . On April 20 , 2016 , Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew announced that the U.S. $5 bill , which has featured the Lincoln Memorial on its back , would undergo a redesign prior to 2020 . Lew said that a portrait of Lincoln would remain on the front of the bill , but the back would be redesigned to depict various historical events that have occurred at the memorial , including an image from King 's speech . In October 2016 Science Friday in a segment on its crowd sourced update to the Voyager Golden Record included the speech . Copyright dispute Because King 's speech was broadcast to a large radio and television audience , there was controversy about its copyright status . If the performance of the speech constituted `` general publication '' , it would have entered the public domain due to King 's failure to register the speech with the Register of Copyrights . However , if the performance only constituted `` limited publication '' , King retained common law copyright . This led to a lawsuit , Estate of Martin Luther King , Jr. , Inc. v. CBS , Inc. , which established that the King estate does hold copyright over the speech and had standing to sue ; the parties then settled . Unlicensed use of the speech or a part of it can still be lawful in some circumstances , especially in jurisdictions under doctrines such as fair use or fair dealing . Under the applicable copyright laws , the speech will remain under copyright in the United States until 70 years after King 's death , therefore until 2038 . Original copy of the speech As King waved goodbye to the audience , he handed George Raveling the original typewritten `` I Have a Dream '' speech .

The British , following the collapse of their northern strategy and their withdrawal from Philadelphia , shifted their focus to the American Southern Colonies . After approximately six weeks of siege , Major General Benjamin Lincoln , commanding the Charleston garrison , surrendered his forces to the British , resulting in one of the worst American defeats of the war .

An army invading from Quebec under John Burgoyne had surrendered to the Americans under Horatio Gates at the Battles of Saratoga , compelling the Kingdom of France and Spain to declare war on Great Britain in support of the Americans . Meanwhile , a strategic effort led by Sir William Howe to capture the Revolutionary capital of Philadelphia had met with limited success . Having replaced his superior as Commander - in - Chief of the American Station , Sir Henry Clinton withdrew all his forces back to New York City to reinforce the city against a possible Franco - American attack . Detail of a 1780 map drawn by a British engineer showing the Charleston defenses Stymied by the Fabian strategy adopted by George Washington , and , under increasing political pressure to deliver victory , the British turned to launching their `` Southern Strategy '' for forcing a capitulation of the Americans . The British were persuaded that there was a strong Loyalist sentiment in the south . It was expected that these Loyalists would rise against the American Patriots in large numbers . The opening British move was the Capture of Savannah , Georgia in December 1778 . After repulsing an assault on Savannah by a combined Franco - American force in October 1779 , the British planned to capture Charleston , South Carolina , intending to use the city as a base for further operations in the southern colonies . Sir Henry Clinton evacuated Newport , Rhode Island in Oct. 1779 , and left the substantial garrison of New York City under the command of Wilhelm von Knyphausen . In December , the day after Christmas 1779 , Clinton and his second in command Charles Cornwallis , sailed southward with 8,500 troops and 5,000 sailors on 90 troopships and 14 warships . After a very stormy voyage , the fleet anchored in Savannah River on 1 Feb. 1780 . By 12 Feb. , Clinton had landed his army 30 miles south of Charleston on Simmons Island . By 24 Feb. , the British had crossed the Stono River onto James Island , and by 10 March , Lord Cornwallis had made it to the mainland . By 22 March , they had advanced to Middleton Place and Drayton Hall , and on 29 March 1780 , crossed the Ashley River . Siege ( edit ) Charleston map showing the distribution of British forces during the siege Cutting the city off from relief , Clinton began a siege of the city on April 1 , 800 yards from the American fortifications located at today 's Marion Square . Whipple , deciding the bar was undefendable , ended up scuttling his fleet at the mouth of the Cooper River . Then Arbuthnot , on 8 April , brought his 14 vessels safely into the harbor , past the roaring guns of Fort Moultrie , the same day Woodford arrived with 750 Virginia Continentals . In order to consolidate British control of the immediate area , Clinton dispatched Banastre Tarleton and Patrick Ferguson to capture Monck 's Corner on 14 April . On 18 April , Lt. Col. Lord Rawdon arrived with 2,500 men , including the 42nd Highlanders , the Hessian von Ditfurth Regiment , the Queen 's Rangers , Prince of Wales American Volunteers , and the Volunteers of Ireland . Charleston was then completely surrounded . Governor John Rutledge escaped on 13 April , before Cornwallis crossed the Cooper River , and joined Webster in blocking escape from the left bank . On 21 April , Lincoln requested a surrender with `` Honours of war '' , which was rejected by Clinton . On 25 April , civilians led by Christopher Gadsden prevented any action on Lincoln 's part in withdrawing the Continental regiments . On 6 May , Tarleton won another engagement in the Battle of Lenud 's Ferry , while the British siege works had advanced far enough towards the Charleston fortifications to drain the canal in front . On 7 May , Fort Moultrie surrendered without a fight . On May 8 , Clinton called for Lincoln 's unconditional surrender , but Lincoln again attempted to negotiate for the honours of war . On May 11 , Gadsden and other citizens asked Lincoln to surrender . While on the same day , the British fired heated shot into the city , burning several homes , compelling Lincoln to call for a parlay to negotiate terms for surrender . On May 12 , Lincoln formally surrendered 3,371 men to the British . When word reached the back - country , the American troops holding Ninety - Six and Camden also surrendered to the British . Aftermath ( edit ) Prison hulks awaited the majority of the 2,571 Continental prisoners , while parole was granted to the militia and civilians who promised not to take up arms . However , this also meant there no longer existed an American army in the South . The British captured some 5,266 prisoners , 311 artillery pieces , 9,178 artillery rounds , 5,916 muskets , 33,000 rounds of ammunition , 15 Regimental colours , 49 ships and 120 boats , plus 376 barrels of flour , and large magazines of rum , rice and indigo . Following the surrender , the captured ordnance was brought to a powder magazine . A Hessian officer warned that some of the guns might still be loaded , but he was ignored . One prematurely fired , detonating 180 barrels of powder , further discharging 5,000 muskets in the magazine . The accident killed approximately 200 people and destroyed six houses . The prisoners of the siege were diverted to multiple locations , including prison shops , the old barracks where the College of Charleston is today , and the Old Exchange and Provost `` Dungeon '' . The defeat was a serious blow to the American cause . It was the largest surrender of an American force under arms , until the 1862 surrender of Union troops at Harper 's Ferry during the Antietam Campaign . The surrender left no substantial army in the South , and the colonies were wide open for a British advance . The British troops consolidated their hold , and had driven the remaining Continental Army troops from South Carolina consequent to the May 29 Battle of Waxhaws . During their surrender the American forces were denied honours of war , leading General George Washington to deny the same to the British during their surrender at the Siege of Yorktown , with Washington saying `` The same Honors will be granted to the Surrendering Army as were granted to the Garrison of Charles Town . '' On June 5 , Clinton sailed back to New York City , believing his presence necessary to defend against a potential Franco - American attack , leaving command of the southern theatre to Lord Cornwallis , with orders to reduce opposition in North Carolina . Though the effects of the surrender at Charleston was substantial , the British err in strategy soon became apparent . There was no popular uprising of Loyalists that the British command had been assured would happen , making control of the countryside difficult . Instead , resistance in South Carolina degenerated into a period of chaotic guerrilla warfare in the outlying areas .

Peripheral nervous system

Peripheral nervous system - wikipedia Peripheral nervous system Jump to : navigation , search Peripheral nervous system The human nervous system . Blue is PNS ; yellow is CNS . Identifiers Acronym ( s ) PNS TA A14. 2.00. 001 FMA 9903 Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy ( edit on Wikidata ) The peripheral nervous system ( PNS ) is one of the two components of the nervous system , the other part is the central nervous system ( CNS ) . The PNS consists of the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord . The main function of the PNS is to connect the CNS to the limbs and organs , essentially serving as a relay between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body . Unlike the CNS , the PNS is not protected by the vertebral column and skull , or by the blood -- brain barrier , which leaves it exposed to toxins and mechanical injuries . The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system . In the somatic nervous system , the cranial nerves are part of the PNS with the exception of the optic nerve ( cranial nerve II ) , along with the retina . The second cranial nerve is not a true peripheral nerve but a tract of the diencephalon . Cranial nerve ganglia originated in the CNS . However , the remaining ten cranial nerve axons extend beyond the brain and are therefore considered part of the PNS . The autonomic nervous system is an involuntary control of smooth muscle and glands . The connection between CNS and organs allows the system to be in two different functional states : sympathetic and parasympathetic . Contents ( hide ) 1 Structure 1.1 Somatic nervous system 1.1. 1 Cervical spinal nerves ( C1 -- C4 ) 1.1. 2 Brachial plexus ( C5 -- T1 ) 1.1. 3 Lumbosacral plexus ( L1 -- Co1 ) 1.2 Autonomic nervous system 1.2. 1 Sympathetic nervous system 1.2. 2 Parasympathetic nervous system 2 Disease 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Structure ( edit ) The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system , and the autonomic nervous system . The somatic nervous system is under voluntary control , and transmits signals from the brain to end organs such as muscle s . The sensory nervous system is part of the somatic nervous system and transmits signals from senses such as taste and touch ( including fine touch and gross touch ) to the spinal cord and brain . The autonomic nervous system is a ' self - regulating ' system which influences the function of organs outside voluntary control , such as the heart rate , or the functions of the digestive system . Somatic nervous system ( edit ) See also : List of nerves of the human body The somatic system includes the sensory nervous system and the somatosensory system and consists of sensory nerves and somatic nerves , and many nerves which hold both functions . In the head and neck , cranial nerve s carry somatosensory data . There are twelve cranial nerves , ten of which originate from the brainstem , and mainly control the functions of the anatomic structures of the head with some exceptions . The nuclei of the olfactory nerve and the optic nerve s lie in the forebrain and thalamus , respectively , and are thus not considered to be true cranial nerves . One unique cranial nerve is the vagus nerve , which receives sensory information from organs in the thorax and abdomen . The accessory nerve is responsible for innervating the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles , neither of which being exclusively in the head . For the rest of the body , spinal nerves are responsible for somatosensory information . These arise from the spinal cord . Usually these arise as a web ( `` plexus '' ) of interconnected nerves roots that arrange to form single nerves . These nerves control the functions of the rest of the body . In humans , there are 31 pairs of spinal nerves : 8 cervical , 12 thoracic , 5 lumbar , 5 sacral and 1 coccygeal . These nerve roots are named according to the spinal vertebrata which they are adjacent to . In the cervical region , the spinal nerve roots come out above the corresponding vertebrae ( i.e. , nerve root between the skull and 1st cervical vertebrae is called spinal nerve C1 ) . From the thoracic region to the coccygeal region , the spinal nerve roots come out below the corresponding vertebrae . It is important to note that this method creates a problem when naming the spinal nerve root between C7 and T1 ( so it is called spinal nerve root C8 ) . In the lumbar and sacral region , the spinal nerve roots travel within the dural sac and they travel below the level of L2 as the cauda equina . Cervical spinal nerves ( C1 -- C4 ) ( edit ) Further information : Cervical plexus The first 4 cervical spinal nerves , C1 through C4 , split and recombine to produce a variety of nerves that serve the neck and back of head . Spinal nerve C1 is called the suboccipital nerve , which provides motor innervation to muscles at the base of the skull . C2 and C3 form many of the nerves of the neck , providing both sensory and motor control . These include the greater occipital nerve , which provides sensation to the back of the head , the lesser occipital nerve , which provides sensation to the area behind the ears , the greater auricular nerve and the lesser auricular nerve . The phrenic nerve is a nerve essential for our survival which arises from nerve roots C3 , C4 and C5 . It supplies the thoracic diaphragm , enabling breathing . If the spinal cord is transected above C3 , then spontaneous breathing is not possible . Brachial plexus ( C5 -- T1 ) ( edit ) Further information : Brachial plexus The last four cervical spinal nerves , C5 through C8 , and the first thoracic spinal nerve , T1 , combine to form the brachial plexus , or plexus brachialis , a tangled array of nerves , splitting , combining and recombining , to form the nerves that subserve the upper - limb and upper back . Although the brachial plexus may appear tangled , it is highly organized and predictable , with little variation between people . See brachial plexus injuries . Lumbosacral plexus ( l1 -- co1 ) ( edit ) The anterior divisions of the lumbar nerves , sacral nerves , and coccygeal nerve form the lumbosacral plexus , the first lumbar nerve being frequently joined by a branch from the twelfth thoracic . For descriptive purposes this plexus is usually divided into three parts : lumbar plexus sacral plexus pudendal plexus Autonomic nervous system ( edit ) The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary responses to regulate physiological functions . The brain and spinal cord from the central nervous system are connected with organs that have smooth muscle , such as the heart , bladder , and other cardiac , exocrine , and endocrine related organs , by ganglionic neurons . The most notable physiological effects from autonomic activity are pupil constriction and dilation , and salivation of saliva . The autonomic nervous system is always activated , but is either in the sympathetic or parasympathetic state . Depending on the situation , one state can overshadow the other , resulting in a release of different kinds of neurotransmitters . There is a lesser known division of the autonomic nervous system known as the enteric nervous system . Located only around the digestive tract , this system allows for local control without input from the sympathetic or the parasympathetic branches , though it can still receive and respond to signals from the rest of the body . The enteric system is responsible for various functions related to gastrointestinal system . Sympathetic nervous system ( edit ) The sympathetic system is activated during a `` fight or flight '' situation in which great mental stress or physical danger is encountered . Neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine , and epinephrine are released , which increases heart rate and blood flow in certain areas like muscle , while simultaneously decreasing activities of non-critical functions for survival , like digestion . The systems are independent to each other , which allows activation of certain parts of the body , while others remain rested . Parasympathetic nervous system ( edit ) Primarily using the neurotransmitter acetylcholine ( ACh ) as a mediator , the parasympathetic system allows the body to function in a `` rest and digest '' state . Consequently , when the parasympathetic system dominates the body , there are increases in salivation and activities in digestion , while heart rate and other sympathetic response decrease . Unlike the sympathetic system , humans have some voluntary controls in the parasympathetic system . The most prominent examples of this control are urination and defecation . Disease ( edit ) Main article : Peripheral neuropathy Diseases of the peripheral nervous system can be specific to one or more nerves , or affect the system as a whole . Any peripheral nerve or nerve root can be damaged , called a mononeuropathy . Such injuries can be because of injury or trauma , or compression . Compression of nerves can occur because of a tumour mass or injury . Alternatively , if a nerve is in an area with a fixed size it may be trapped if the other components increase in size , such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tarsal tunnel syndrome . Common symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include pain and numbness in the thumb , index and middle finger . In peripheral neuropathy , the function one or more nerves are damaged through a variety of means . Toxic damage may occur because of diabetes ( diabetic neuropathy ) , alcohol , heavy metals or other toxins ; some infections ; autoimmune and inflammatory conditions such as amyloidosis and sarcoidosis . Peripheral neuropathy is associated with a sensory loss in a `` glove and stocking '' distribution that begins at the peripheral and slowly progresses upwards , and may also be associated with acute and chronic pain . Peripheral neuropathy is not just limited to the somatosensory nerves , but the autonomic nervous system too ( autonomic neuropathy ) .

Robert Robinson penned the words at age 22 in the year 1757 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Tunes 2 Cover versions 3 Lyrics 4 Notes 5 External links Tunes ( edit ) In the United States , the hymn is usually set to an American folk tune known as `` Nettleton '' , composed by printer John Wyeth , or possibly by Asahel Nettleton . In the United Kingdom , the hymn is also often set to the tune `` Normandy '' by C Bost . The `` Nettleton '' tune is used extensively in partial or full quotation by the American composer Charles Ives , in such works as the First String Quartet and the piano quintet and song `` The Innate '' . The `` Nettleton '' tune is also quoted at the end of `` My Trundle Bed '' by Tullius C. O'Kane . A shape note song called `` Warrenton '' also has been sung with a chorus being in 4 / 4 time or 2 / 2 cut time ; to fit the text to this melody , the second half of each verse is omitted and replaced with a refrain of `` I am bound for the kingdom , will you come to glory with me ? / Hallelujah , praise the Lord ! '' Cover versions ( edit ) It has been covered by the David Crowder Band on their 1999 album All I Can Say . Christian rock band Jars of Clay has also covered the song , as well as veteran Christian artist Scott Wesley Brown . Sufjan Stevens recorded a version for his Hark ! Songs for Christmas album , which reached 122 in the US charts and is featured in the closing minutes of the season four premiere episode of Friday Night Lights . Gateway Worship performed the song on their album Living for You and added a chorus to the song , calling it `` Come Thou Fount , Come Thou King '' . It also appears on Phil Wickham 's album ' sing - a-long ' . This song is also sung by Clark Davis in the film Love Comes Softly and is a recurring background music in the film . Mumford & Sons have covered it in a small amount of their live shows . Leigh Nash has covered it in Hymns and Sacred Songs . Additionally , the Mormon Tabernacle Choir recorded this hymn as part of their album titled The Sound of Glory , and frequently sing it in their live performances . Christian punk pop band Eleventyseven covered the hymn in their Good Spells EP . Gospel recording artist Anthony Brown and group therAPy covered the first verse of the hymn in the song `` Without You '' on their sophomore album Everyday Jesus .

Otherwise , you can help by formatting it per the Wikisource guidelines in preparation for the duplication . The lyrics , which dwell on the theme of divine grace , are based on 1 Samuel 7 : 12 , in which the prophet Samuel raises a stone as a monument , saying , `` Hitherto hath the Lord helped us '' ( KJV ) . The English transliteration of the name Samuel gives to the stone is Ebenezer , meaning Stone of Help . The unusual word Ebenezer commonly appears in hymnal presentations of the lyrics ( verse 2 ) . The original text of the hymn `` Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing '' : It has been revised and now appears in modern hymnals as the following : The following version was adapted by E. Margaret Clarkson in 1973. : The following version appears in Nazarene hymnals and those of the Holiness movement . It replaces `` wandering '' with `` yielded , '' and `` prone to wander '' with `` let me know Thee in Thy fullness ''. : Many choirs , including the Mormon Tabernacle Choir , sing it as follows , in an arrangement by Mack Wilberg . It is essentially the modern hymnal version , except that verse 2 is split into two parts and the last half of verse 3 is appended to each part to form two verses : 1 . Come , Thou Fount of every blessing , Tune my heart to sing Thy grace ; Streams of mercy , never ceasing , Call for songs of loudest praise . Teach me some melodious sonnet , Sung by flaming tongues above . Praise the mount , I 'm fixed upon it , Mount of Thy redeeming love . 1 .

While exploring the ruins , Klaus finds a broken spyglass with an insignia of an eye embedded on the front . Shortly afterwards , they are sent to live with their distant relative Count Olaf , a cruel and vain amateur actor , who forces them into servitude . One night , the siblings prepare puttanesca for Olaf 's theatre troupe only for him to demand roast beef upon arriving home . The children state that they were never asked to prepare roast beef , angering Olaf and prompting him to slap Klaus across the face when he protests about the sleeping arrangements . Meanwhile , a mother and father are held against their will by a mysterious captor . `` The Bad Beginning : Part Two '' Barry Sonnenfeld Daniel Handler January 13 , 2017 ( 2017 - 01 - 13 ) The Baudelaires attempt to convince Mr. Poe of Olaf 's actions , only to be sent away when Poe dismisses their claims .

Klaus confronts Olaf , who threatens to kill Sunny if Violet does n't follow through with his plans . At the very last minute , however , Violet signs the marriage certificate with her left hand , invalidating the proceedings due to the fact that she is right - handed .

While attempting to learn more about Montgomery , Klaus discovers that the hedge maze in Montgomery 's garden is exactly the same shape as the tattoo on Olaf 's ankle . Olaf poses as Montgomery 's new assistant Stephano and attempts to kidnap the Baudelaires , but Monty assures the Baudelaires that he recognizes Stephano as a threat . The four arrive at a movie theatre , where Monty deciphers a code sent for him through the subtitles of the film , using a spyglass identical to Klaus ' . The message instructs him to bring the children to Peru . He fires Stephano shortly afterwards , believing him to be a spy sent to steal his research . `` The Reptile Room : Part Two '' Mark Palansky Emily Fox January 13 , 2017 ( 2017 - 01 - 13 ) Immediately after dismissing `` Stephano , '' Montgomery notices that the door to his Reptile Room is ajar and investigates , only to be attacked by an unseen figure .

Olaf 's theatre troupe then arrives disguised as police and nurses , and claim Monty was killed by the Incredibly Deadly Viper , despite Monty 's claim of it being completely harmless .

During a lunch break , Klaus and Isadora discover that they are holding two halves of the same spyglass .

Jacques stays behind to confront Olaf ; however , the villain is unfazed by Jacques ' offer of a truce , and he and Esmé incapacitate and kill him . The next morning , as the Baudelaires try to break into the jail to rescue Jacques , they are informed that `` Olaf '' has been murdered . 14 6 `` The Vile Village : Part 2 '' Barry Sonnenfeld Sigrid Gilmer March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) The disguised Olaf and Esmé quickly convince Mr. Poe and the town that the Baudelaires murdered Jacques / `` Olaf , '' and they are promptly condemned to be burned at the stake .

As such , the Snicket books had been optioned to be filmed before they were published . This led to the development of a 2004 feature film , Lemony Snicket 's A Series of Unfortunate Events , which covered the narratives of the first three novels in the series . Barry Sonnenfeld , who has expressed his love for the series , was originally slated to direct the feature film , and had hired Handler to write the screenplay . About 10 months into production , shortly after the casting of Jim Carrey as Olaf , there was a `` big crisis '' , according to Handler , which caused producer Scott Rudin to walk away and Sonnenfeld left the production under unclear terms . With the film 's completion in flux , its producing studios Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks fired Handler . While the film was eventually completed and released , sequels which would adapt the other novels in the series became unlikely due to `` corporate shakeups '' within DreamWorks , according to Handler , and the child actors that portrayed the Baudelaire children grew too old to star in a sequel . In November 2014 , Netflix , in association with Paramount Television , announced its plans to adapt the novels into an original television series , with the author of the series , Daniel Handler , serving as executive producer . In September 2015 , it was announced that Barry Sonnenfeld and Mark Hudis had agreed to helm the series . Hudis would serve as showrunner , Sonnenfeld as director , and both as executive producers , with Handler writing some of the scripts along with working with the series ' writing team . However , in January 2016 , Netflix announced that Hudis had left the project , with a replacement showrunner not named at the time . The first season consists of eight episodes , with two episodes adapting each of the first four books of the series . Handler considered this more in line with how he had written the books in the manner of a serialized melodrama , citing The Perils of Pauline as one of his influences in writing the book series . In January 2017 , Handler revealed that he was writing the series ' second season , to consist of ten episodes adapting the fifth through ninth books of the series . A third season would adapt the remaining novels of the series , which Handler hoped `` to get the go - ahead to do '' since `` given how quickly young actors age and change , we 're trying to film everything as quickly as possible . '' In March 2017 , Netflix revealed the series had been renewed for a second season by releasing a video on their social media pointing to a viral marketing website , where a letter written by Snicket revealed the decision . A month later , the series was `` quietly '' renewed for a third season , which Harris confirmed would be the final one for the series . Casting Neil Patrick Harris portrays Count Olaf in the series and serves as a producer . On December 3 , 2015 , an open casting call was announced for the roles of Violet and Klaus Baudelaire . In January 2016 , Netflix announced that Neil Patrick Harris had been cast as Count Olaf and Malina Weissman and Louis Hynes were cast as Violet and Klaus . Handler had first considered Harris for the role of Olaf after seeing him perform the opening number `` It 's Not Just for Gays Anymore '' , at the 65th Tony Awards in 2011 , noting `` I just immediately saw someone who could pull off a million things at once '' as was necessary for the character of Olaf , who utilizes various disguises and accents in his quest to steal the Baudelaire fortune . In March 2016 , K. Todd Freeman was cast as Mr. Poe , followed shortly after by the casting of Patrick Warburton as Lemony Snicket , and Aasif Mandvi as Uncle Monty . In September 2016 , it was revealed that Dylan Kingwell and Avi Lake were cast as the Quagmire siblings , Duncan and Isadora , respectively . In November 2016 , Handler revealed Catherine O'Hara , Don Johnson , and Alfre Woodard had been cast as Dr. Georgina Orwell , Sir , and Aunt Josephine , respectively ; O'Hara had previously portrayed Justice Strauss in the 2004 film adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events . It was also revealed that Presley Smith would play Sunny Baudelaire , whose quasi-nonsensical lines are voiced by Tara Strong , and Rhys Darby would play Charles , Sir 's partner . Filming Production began in May 2016 in Vancouver , British Columbia , and in August 2016 several cast members expressed through social media that filming had finished . Filming for the second season began in April 2017 . The third season began filming on January 5 , 2018 . One aspect of the series of books that the production team wanted to be captured in the series was the notion of a lack of specific time period or geography for the settings ; Handler stated that he wrote enough for establishing set pieces , but purposely left more specific details vague `` in order for young readers to fill in the blanks themselves . '' Sonnenfeld wanted to capture that same sense of ambiguous time and place , and he and his team worked to try to define a set of subjective rules of what elements could be included . Sonnenfeld brought on Bo Welch , production designer for Edward Scissorhands , which Handler considered to capture the same sense of a `` familiar but completely imaginary '' suburban setting he had in mind for his books . While the production team used computer - generated imagery where needed , they attempted to avoid this use where possible , such as by using large painted backdrops , by key scenic artist John E. Wilcox , rather than employing green screen filming . Music In April 2016 , Nick Urata was initially reported to be composing music for the series . Once the first season was released , it was revealed that Urata collaborated with Daniel Handler to compose the main title theme , as well as various original songs that appear throughout the series , with Handler contributing the lyrics . The first season 's original score was composed by James Newton Howard , with his frequent collaborators Sven Faulconer and Chris Bacon filling in to score certain episodes . In season two , Jim Dooley joined the production as composer and subsequently wrote the music for all ten episodes . Visual effects Zoic Studios created visual effects for the series , including the effects for many of Sunny Baudelaire 's actions . Tippett Studio also did work on the series , including the effects for the destruction of Josephine 's house , landscape shots of Lake Lachrymose and some of the more movement heavy Sunny Baudelaire shots . Release All eight episodes of the first season of A Series of Unfortunate Events were released worldwide on Netflix on January 13 , 2017 , in Ultra HD 4K . The second season was released on March 30 , 2018 . Marketing On July 5 , 2015 a video titled `` An Unfortunate Teaser '' was uploaded to YouTube by a user named `` Eleanora Poe '' . Netflix quickly released a statement saying `` This was not released from Netflix . '' Media outlets were almost unanimous in agreement that the trailer was fan - made . However , Caitlin Petrakovitz of CNET argued that the trailer may be real and that Netflix 's carefully worded denial was a marketing campaign , noting the user name `` Eleanora Poe '' being the same as a character from the series , and that a vinyl record seen in the trailer was of The Gothic Archies , a band who provided the theme music for the audio books of A Series of Unfortunate Events . The trailer was later revealed to be a spec promo , similar to a spec script , by an independent commercial director , whom Netflix contracted to make a title sequence for the series after the video 's popularity , though they did not go ahead with the concept . In October 2016 , Netflix released the first teaser trailer for A Series of Unfortunate Events , where Warburton narrates the events of the series as Lemony Snicket . A trailer , featuring footage from the series and Neil Patrick Harris 's character , Count Olaf , was released by Netflix in November 2016 , followed shortly by the first full trailer . The second trailer was released in December 2016 , followed by a `` holiday - themed '' trailer from Count Olaf leading fans to a viral marketing website for the fictional Valorous Farms Dairy , which featured four holiday e-cards for download . Reception Audience viewership As Netflix does not reveal subscriber viewership numbers for any of their original series , Symphony Technology Group compiled data for the first season based on people using software on their devices that measure television viewing by detecting a program 's sound . According to Symphony , 3.755 million viewers age 18 - 49 were watching an episode of A Series of Unfortunate Events over the average minute in its first weekend of release . Critical response Season 1 The first season of A Series of Unfortunate Events received critical acclaim . Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the season an approval rating of 94 % based on 62 reviews , with an average rating of 8.1 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Enjoyably dark , A Series of Unfortunate Events matches the source material 's narrative as well as its tone , leaving viewers with a wonderfully weird , dry , gothic comedy . '' On Metacritic the season has a score of 81 out of 100 , based on 23 critics , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . Erik Adams of The A.V. Club awarded the season a B and praised it for treating `` mature themes like grief , loss , and disappointment with sardonic honesty . '' Adams compared the program positively to the Adam West Batman series , calling it `` kids stuff with adult sophistication , driven by two - part stories , outrageous visuals , and the scenery - chewing of big - name guest stars '' . Ben Travers of Indiewire gave the series an A - , saying that it `` proves as inspirational and endearing as it claims to be forlorn and heartbreaking '' . Brian Lowry of CNN praised the showrunners for `` infusing the show with a lemony - fresh feel , conjuring a series similar to the fantastical tone of Pushing Daisies '' . Lowry wrote that `` the show proves a good deal of fun '' and that `` Harris dives into his over-the - top character with considerable gusto . '' He also argued that the series improved upon the 2004 film . Several critics praised the television series as a better adaptation of the books than the 2004 feature film , which starred Jim Carrey as Count Olaf . Kelly Lawler of USA Today felt the television format gave the stories more room to develop , the addition of Warburton as the fourth wall - breaking Snicket helped to convey some of the wordplay humor used in the books , and Harris 's portrayal of Olaf was `` much more dynamic , and creepier '' than Carrey 's version . The Verge 's Chaim Gartenburg said that the show follows the books much more faithfully than the film , and `` nails down the tone that made the stories so special '' . Los Angeles Times writer Robert Lloyd felt that the backgrounds of Sonnenfeld and Welch made them `` the right people for this job , set in a milieu that is hard to fix in time , except to say it is not now '' , in capturing the tones of the book compared to the feature film . Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com , on the other hand , gave the series a negative review , calling it `` an unfunny parody of sadness '' that is `` never as clever as it wants to be '' and would only appeal to fans of the books . Caroline Framke of Vox Media praised the series for its unique and weird visuals , but found the show 's tone , pacing and performances to be haphazard and considered the show to be `` literally , a series of unfortunate events '' . Season 2 As with the first season , the second season of A Series of Unfortunate Events received critical acclaim . Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the second season an approval rating of 100 % based on 10 reviews , with an average rating of 7.8 / 10 . Clarisse Loughrey of The Independent praised the show as one that `` essentially deals with thoughtful , intelligent young people battling to speak up against an illogical world . '' While observing that the `` show may revel in the miserable '' , she opined `` that the purpose of its own morbidity is to offer the assurance that hope lives in even the darkest of places . '' Loughrey also credited the show 's expanded storyline for the Baudelaire 's adult allies for `` plumping up '' the episodes ' narrative arcs and deepening the show 's emotional impact . Tristram Fane Saunders of The Telegraph awarded the second season four out of five stars . He described the show as a `` gothic treat ( that ) also offers a wicked line in absurdist humour , and the most gorgeously toybox - like set designs you 'll find anywhere outside a Wes Anderson film . '' Radio Times reviewer Huw Fullerton praised the series for its faithfulness to the original novels . While praising the improved CGI used to make Presley Smith 's character Sunny Baudelaire react better to situations , he criticized the addition of supporting `` good '' characters such as Nathan Fillion 's Jacques Snicket and Sara Canning 's Jacquelyn for `` undercutting the bleakness and loneliness that characterized the novels . '' Rohan Naahar of the Hindustan Times described A Series of Unfortunate Events as `` one of the most lavish originals in Netflix 's bottomless catalogue , created by fans , for fans . '' He also praised Neil Patrick Harris ' performance as Count Olaf . The Den of Geek reviewer Michael Ahr praised tortoise - shell ' amphibiophones ' and stone marimbas score for giving the television series its primal sound . IGN reviewer Jonathon Dornbush criticized the second season 's formulaic plot structure and lack of the insightful observations compared to the first season . He also praised several of the second season 's episodes particularly `` The Ersatz Elevator '' , `` The Hostile Hospital '' , and `` The Carnivorous Carnival '' for smartly twisting the story formula and deepening the novel series ' mythology .

( April 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) William G. Morgan William George Morgan ( 1870 - 01 - 23 ) January 23 , 1870 Lockport , New York , U.S. December 27 , 1942 ( 1942 - 12 - 27 ) ( aged 72 ) Lockport , New York , U.S. Alma mater Springfield College Occupation Educator Known for Inventor of volleyball Spouse ( s ) Mary King Caldwell ( divorced ) Children William George Morgan ( January 23 , 1870 -- December 27 , 1942 ) was the inventor of volleyball , originally called `` Mintonette '' , a name derived from the game of badminton which he later agreed to change to better reflect the nature of the sport . He was born in Lockport , New York , US . He met James Naismith , inventor of basketball , while Morgan was studying at Springfield College in 1892 . Like Naismith , Morgan pursued a career in Physical Education at the YMCA . Influenced by Naismith and basketball , in 1895 , in Holyoke , Massachusetts , Morgan invented `` Mintonette '' a less vigorous team sport more suitable for older members of the YMCA but one that still required athletic skill . Later Alfred S. Halstead watched it being played and renamed it `` Volleyball '' , because the point of the game is to volley the ball back and forth over the net . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Creating the sport 3 Introducing the sport 4 Aftermath 5 Later life 6 Credits 7 References Early life ( edit ) William George Morgan graduated high school at Northfield Mount Hermon School and moved on to attend the YMCA International Training School ( Later renamed Springfield College ) in Massachusetts with James Naismith , the inventor of basketball . Both Morgan and Naismith pursued careers in Physical Education at the YMCA ( Young Men 's Christian Association ) . Auburn , Maine , at the YMCA , was where Morgan spent one year working prior to graduating from Springfield College . During the summer of 1895 , Morgan moved to Holyoke , Massachusetts , where he continued to work for the YMCA , becoming the Director of Physical Education . With Morgan being the Director , it allowed him to devise workout plans and teach sports in depth to the young male adult . Creating the sport ( edit ) As William Morgan worked as the Director of Physical Education at the YMCA in Holyoke , he started to notice that the game of basketball was not meant for everyone to play . The weaker young men , non-athletic adults , and the older adults were not able to keep up with running up and down the court , along with the amount of contact they would occasionally run into . Morgan then had to think of a game in where everyone would have an equal amount of participation but also had similar objectives to basketball . He wanted to create a game which everyone could play , no matter their age or physical ability . Between trying to run classes at the YMCA and creating a new sport suitable for all , Morgan decided it was best that he use ideas from various sports such as handball , tennis , and badminton , and his own knowledge from sports training methods and experience , to create this new sport . He decided that the game would involve a six - foot , six - inch net in the middle dividing the 2 separate playing areas , and that it would be played on a 30 ft. × 60 ft. court , so that it could be played in gyms anywhere across the nation . After creating some ground rules , William Morgan had to experiment with his game . First , he had to decide which ball to use . A basketball was too heavy while the basketball bladder was too light . After testing all of the balls he had available , he had come to the conclusion that his best option was to ask A.G. Spalding & Bros. to make him a ball . A young A.G. Spalding & Bros. equipment designer and master marine cloth tailor , Dale Callaghan , developed and produced the first prototype volleyball . Morgan was very pleased with Spalding & Bros. work . They created Morgan the perfect ball for his sport , which was covered in leather , with the circumference of 25 -- 27 inches . The ball was also the perfect weight for Morgan 's sport . The ball weighed 9 -- 12 ounces . This new ball that had been made for Morgan 's sport was the perfect finishing touch to the basics of the sport . The last thing that had to be done by Morgan was to create a name . Morgan came up with `` Mintonette '' as the new name for his game . Introducing the sport ( edit ) The first time Morgan revealed his sport to the other Directors of Physical was at the YMCA located in Springfield , in 1896 . He presented his new , creative idea to Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick ( director of the professional physical education training school ) and the rest of the YMCA Directors of Physical Education . Dr. Gulick was so pleased that he asked Morgan to present his sport at the school 's new stadium . In preparation for his big debut , Morgan created 2 teams of 5 men , who would help in demonstrating `` Mintonette '' in front of the conference delegates in the East Gymnasium at Springfield College . On February 9 , 1895 , William Morgan presented his new sport to the world . When Morgan was explaining the game before the demonstration , he named a few key guidelines in the game of `` Mintonette '' such as that the game was created so that it could be played in open air and in gyms as well as the objective of the game was to keep the ball in action as it goes from one side of the high net , to the other . One of the conference delegates , Professor Alfred T. Halsted , loved the game of Mintonette , but he felt like something was just not right . Professor Halsted suggested that the name of the game should be Volleyball , since the main point of the game was to `` volley '' the ball to a player or over the net . Morgan agreed with Halsted 's idea and since then the original game of `` Mintonette '' has been referred to as Volleyball . Morgan continued to tweak the rules of the game until July 1896 , where his sport was added into the first official handbook of the North American YMCA Athletic League . Aftermath ( edit ) On July 7 , 1896 , the first game of volleyball was played at Springfield College . In 1900 , Spalding started to produce a special ball , which was designed specifically for the sport -- A volleyball . In 1920 , new rules were instigated which included the three hits per side and the back row attack rules . In 1964 , at the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo , was where Volleyball was introduced to the Olympics . Later life ( edit ) William Morgan left his job at the YMCA in 1897 to start a new career with General Electric and Westinghouse . He stayed in touch with Springfield College and stated that he was `` content in the knowledge that the game brought a richer life to millions of people throughout the world . '' Morgan died on December 27 , 1942 . Credits ( edit ) In 1995 , The Morgan Trophy Award was created . The Award is presented annually to the most outstanding male and female collegiate volleyball player in the US . An elementary school in Holyoke , William Morgan School , bears his name .

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 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 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 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 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 Games 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 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 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 2002 to 2010 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 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 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 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 Olympics ( 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 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 Olympics 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 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 Cold War 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 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 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 . Current sports Sport Years Events Medal events contested in 2014 Alpine skiing Since 1936 11 Men 's and women 's downhill , super G , giant slalom , slalom , and combined , and parallel slalom .

Internet in the Philippines

Internet in the Philippines - wikipedia Internet in the Philippines Internet in the Philippines first became available on March 29 , 1994 , with the Philippine Network Foundation ( PHNet ) connecting the country and its people to Sprint in the United States via a 64 kbit / s link . As of 2016 , more than 44,000,000 people used the internet in the country , accounting for 43.5 % of the total population . World map of internet penetration ( number of Internet users as a percentage of a country 's population ) , 2012 World map of internet users , 2012 Contents 1 History 1.1 Timeline 2 Statistics 3 Wireless broadband 3.1 TD - LTE 3.1. 1 Bandwidth caps 3.1. 2 Lock - in period 4 IP peering 5 Internet speed 6 See also 7 References 8 External links History ( edit ) A year after the connection , The Public Telecommunications Act of the Philippines was made into law . Securing a franchise is now optional for value - added service providers . This law enabled many other organizations to establish connections to the Internet , to create Web sites and have their own Internet services or provide Internet service and access to others . However the growth of the Internet in the Philippines was hindered by many obstacles including unequal distribution of Internet infrastructure throughout the country , its cost and corruption in the government . But these obstacles did not altogether halt all the developments . More connection types were made available to more Filipinos . Increasing bandwidth and a growing number of Filipino Internet users were proof of the continuing development of the Internet in the country . The Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 , codified as Republic Act No. 10175 , criminalized cybersquatting , cybersex , child pornography , identity theft , illegal access to data and libel . The act has been criticized for its provision on criminalizing libel , which is perceived to be a curtailment in freedom of expression . After several petitions submitted to the Supreme Court of the Philippines questioned the constitutionality of the Act , the Supreme Court issued a temporary restraining order on October 9 , 2012 , stopping implementation of the Act for 120 days . A Magna Carta for Philippine Internet Freedom was filed in the Philippine legislature in 2013 to , among others , repeal Republic Act No. 10175 . The Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No 10175 were promulgated on August 12 , 2015 . Timeline ( edit ) The early history of the Internet in the Philippines started with the establishment of Bulletin Board Systems ( BBS ) by computer hobbyist and enthusiast . They were able to link their BBS 's using a dial - up connection protocol enabling them to participate in discussion forums , send messages and share files . 1986 : Establishment of first BBS in the Philippines , Star BBS was formed by Efren Tercias and James Chua of Wordtext Systems . Fox BBS was operated by Johnson Sumpio . First - Fil RBBS a public - access BBS went online with an annual subscription fee of P1 , 000 . A precursor to the local online forum , it ran an open - source BBS software on an IBM XT Clone PC with a 1200bit / s modem and was operated by Dan Angeles and Ed Castañeda . 1987 : The Philippine FidoNet Exchange , a local network for communication between several BBSes in Metro Manila , was formed . 1990 : A committee helmed by Arnie del Rosario of the Ateneo Computer Technology Center was tasked with exploring the possibility of creating an academic network of universities and government institutions by the National Computer Center under Dr. William Torres . Recommendations were made but not implemented . 1991 - 1993 : Emergence of email gateways and services in the Philippines , including some from multinational companies like Intel , Motorola , and Texas Instruments , which used a direct Internet connection , X. 25 , or UUCP protocol . Local firms ETPI , Philcom , and PLDT ( Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company ) also operated commercial X. 25 networks . Another milestone : Local and international email to FidoNet users was introduced . June 1993 : With the support of the Department of Science and Technology and the Industrial Research Foundation , the Philnet project ( now PHNET ) was born . The Philnet technical committee , composed of computer buffs working at the DOST ( MIS ( Joseph Andres ) , PCASTRD ( Merl Opena , Winnefredo Aggabao ) and Advanced Science and Technology Institute ( Miguel Dimayuga ) ) and representatives from the Ateneo de Manila University ( Richie Lozada and Arnie del Rosario ) , De La Salle University ( Kelsey Hartigan - Go ) , University of the Philippines Diliman ( Rodel Atanacio ) , University of the Philippines Los Baños ( Alfonso Carandang ) , Xavier University ( Bombim Cadiz ) and St. Louis University ( Ian Generalao ) ; would eventually play a significant role in connecting the Philippines to the global Internet . July 1993 : Phase one of the Philnet project shifted into full gear after receiving funding from the DOST . It proved to be successful , as students from partner universities were able to send emails to the Internet by routing them through Philnet 's gateway at the Ateneo de Manila University , which was connected to another gateway at the Victoria University of Technology in Australia via IDD Dial - Up ( Hayes Modem ) . November 1993 : An additional P12. 5 - million grant for the first year 's running cost was awarded by the DOST to buy equipment and lease communication lines needed to kickstart the second phase of Philnet , now led by Dr. Rudy Villarica . March 29 , 1994 , 1 : 15 a.m. : Benjie Tan , who was working for ComNet , a company that supplied Cisco routers to the Philnet project , established the Philippine 's first connection to the Internet at a PLDT network center in Makati City . Shortly thereafter , he posted a short message to the Usenet newsgroup soc. culture. filipino to alert Filipinos overseas that a link had been made . His message read : `` As of March 29 , 1994 at 1 : 15 am Philippine time , unfortunately 2 days late due to slight technical difficulties , the Philippines was FINALLY connected to the Internet via SprintLink . The Philippine router , a Cisco 7000 router was attached via the services of PLDT and Sprint communications to SprintLink 's router at Stockton Ca . The gateway to the world for the Philippines will be via NASA Ames Research Center . For now , a 64K serial link is the information highway to the rest of the Internet world . '' March 29 , 1994 , 10 : 18 a.m. : `` We 're in , '' Dr. John Brule , a Professor Emeritus in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Syracuse University , announced at The First International E-Mail Conference at the University of San Carlos in Talamban , Cebu , signifying that Philnet 's 64 kbit / s connection was live . Statistics ( edit ) Internet café in the Philippines Worldmap of internet browsers . In the Philippines 62.43 % use Google Chrome , 25.15 % Firefox , 6.28 % Internet Explorer , 4.13 % Safari . According to AGB Nielsen Philippines , about one of three Filipinos in the Philippines have access to the internet . Among the findings in this report were : 43.5 % of Filipinos accessed the Internet , five percentage points higher than the Southeast Asian regional average of 38 % . Internet penetration amongst consumers aged 15 to 19 was close to two - thirds ( 65 % ) and nearly half of those in their 20s were online ( 48 % ) . There was still much room for growth for those aged 30 + -- less than one quarter of consumers aged in their 30s ( 24 % ) access the Internet , 13 % of consumers in their 40s , and just 4 % of consumers aged 50 + . 52 % of Filipinos had a computer with high speed Internet connection at home . Home was the most common Internet access point for those aged 30 years and above close to nine in ten Internet users aged 50 years and above ( 86 % ) cite `` home '' as their main point of access . 74 % of 15 -- 19 years identified Internet cafés as their main point of Internet access . Close to one quarter of Filipinos Internet users ( 24 % ) accessed the Internet on a daily basis via a mobile phone and 56 % intend to access the Internet via a mobile phone in the next 12 months . Over two thirds of Filipino digital consumers ( 67 % ) had visited social networking sites , compared to 40 % who used email . The Philippines ranked second highest for the number of people who had ever `` liked '' or followed a brand , company or celebrity on a social networking site ( 75 % ) . 61 % of Filipino Internet users said they trusted consumer opinions posted online , higher than any other market in Southeast Asia and seven points above the regional average . Online product reviews and discussion forums were one of the most trusted sources of recommendations in purchase decision making , second only to recommendations from family and friends . Close to two thirds of digital Filipinos ( 64 % ) used social media as a resource in purchase decision making . Wireless broadband ( edit ) TD - LTE ( edit ) As the number of subscribers grew , both PLDT and Globe Telecom rapidly expanded their Time - Division Duplex - Long Term Evolution ( TD - LTE ) services for Fixed Wireless Broadband . According to PLDT , they spent P2 billion of its P28. 8 billion capital expenditure for 2013 to bring TD - LTE technology to customers ' homes . According to industry data , the Philippines ' TD - LTE network was one of the largest deployments in Asia Pacific with over 200 base stations and an allocated bandwidth of 100 megabits per second ( Mbps ) . In January 2015 , both PLDT and Globe Telecom began phasing out WiMax services in favor for TD - LTE . Bandwidth caps ( edit ) In October 2015 , PLDT introduced so - called `` volume boosters '' ( instead of 30 % bandwidth throttling in 2014 and 256kbit / s bandwidth throttling in 2015 ) when exceeding monthly 30GB to 70GB bandwidth cap for TD - LTE connection plans ( Ultera ) . `` In case your usage exceeds your monthly volume allowance , you can still enjoy the internet by purchasing additional volume boosters . Otherwise , connectivity will be halted until your monthly volume is refreshed on your next billing cycle . '' Globe followed the suit with a similar `` volume boost '' arrangement . Lock - in period ( edit ) In 2015 , PLDT increased lock - in period for TD - LTE connection plans from 24 to 36 months ( 3 years ) with the pre-termination fee equal to the full balance for the remaining period . After the lock - in period the contract is automatically renewed for another 36 months subject to the same terms and conditions . As of now the Globe lock - in period is still 2 years with no pre-termination fee outside of the lock - in period . The PLDT TD - LTE contract allows PLDT to change the terms and conditions at any time with the only way left for subscribers to opt out of the altered service through paying the full pre-termination fee : `` 8.3 Modification . SBI reserves the right at its discretion to modify , delete or add to any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement at any time without further notice . It is the Subscriber 's responsibility to regularly check any changes to these Terms and Conditions . The Subscriber 's continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms and Conditions . '' Even as the Consumer Act of the Philippines states `` Unfair or Unconscionable Sales Act or Practice ... the following circumstances shall be considered ... that the transaction that the seller or supplier induced the consumer to enter into was excessively one - sided in favor of the seller or supplier '' , the practice of inducing extremely long term contracts with the ultimate pre-termination penalty has not been legally challenged yet . IP peering ( edit ) The Philippines have six Internet Exchange points in the Country . Philippine Open Internet Exchange ( PhOPENIX ) , Philippine Internet Exchange ( PhIX ) , Philippine Common Routing Exchange ( PHNET CORE ) , Globe Internet Exchange ( GIX ) , Bayan Telecommunications Internet and Gaming Exchange and Manila Internet Exchange ( Manila IX ) . On June 16 , 2016 , Globe Telecom and PLDT agreed on a bilateral domestic IP peering arrangement . Internet speed ( edit ) The Akamai Technologies Q1 2017 State of the Internet report contained information that , though average internet connection speed had increased 20 % year - on - year , the Philippines , at 5.5 Mbit / s , once again had the lowest average connection speeds among surveyed Asia Pacific countries / regions . The report noted that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte had approved a plan with a three to five - year timeline for completion to deploy a national broadband network at an estimated cost of US $1.5 billion to $4.0 billion .

She is widely remembered for hoisting the Indian National Congress flag at the Gowalia Tank maidan in Bombay during the Quit India Movement , 1942 . After Independence , she remained active in politics , becoming Delhi 's first mayor in 1958 . In the 1960s , she successfully started a media publishing house . She received India 's highest civilian award , the Bharat Ratna , posthumously in 1997 . Contents 1 Early life 2 Freedom struggle : early days 3 Face of Quit India movement 4 Countdown to Independence 5 Post-Independence 6 Legacy 7 References 8 External links Early life ( edit ) Aruna Asaf Ali was born ( Aruna Ganguly ) on 16 July 1909 in Kalka , Punjab , British India ( now in Haryana , India ) into a Bengali Brahmo family . Her father Upendranath Ganguly hailed from Barisal district of Eastern Bengal ( now Bangladesh ) but settled in the United Province . He was a restaurant owner . Her mother Ambalika Devi was the daughter of Trailokyanath Sanyal , a renowned Brahmo leader who wrote many Brahmo hymns . Upendranath Ganguly 's younger brother Dhirendranath Ganguly ( DG ) was one of the earliest film directors . Another brother , Nagendranath , was a university professor who married Nobel Prize winner Rabindranath Tagore 's only surviving daughter Mira Devi . Aruna 's sister Purnima Banerjee was a member of the Constituent Assembly of India . Aruna was educated at Sacred Heart Convent in Lahore and then at All Saints ' College in Nainital . After her graduation , she worked as a teacher at the Gokhale Memorial School in Calcutta . She met Asaf Ali , a leader in the Congress party , in Allahabad . They got married in 1928 , despite parental opposition on grounds of religion and age ( he was a Muslim and her senior by more than 20 years ) . My father was no more when Asaf and I married in September 1928 . My paternal uncle Nagendranath Ganguly , a university professor who regarded himself as my guardian , said to relatives and friends that as far as he was concerned I was dead and he had performed my shraddh . -- Aruna Asaf Ali Freedom struggle : early days ( edit ) She was an active member of Congress Party after marrying Asaf Ali and participated in public processions during the Salt Satyagraha . She was arrested on the charge that she was a vagrant and hence not released in 1931 under the Gandhi - Irwin Pact which stipulated release of all political prisoners . Other women co-prisoners refused to leave the premises unless she was also released and gave in only after Mohandas K. Gandhi intervened . A public agitation secured her release . In 1932 , she was held prisoner at the Tihar Jail where she protested the indifferent treatment of political prisoners by launching a hunger strike . Her efforts resulted in an improvement of conditions in the Tihar Jail but she was moved to Ambala and was subjected to solitary confinement . She was politically not very active after her release , but at the ending of 1942 , she took part in the underground movement . She was active in it . Face of Quit India movement ( edit ) On 8 August 1942 , the All India Congress Committee passed the Quit India resolution at the Bombay session . The government responded by arresting the major leaders and all members of the Congress Working Committee and thus tried to pre-empt the movement from success . Young Aruna Asaf Ali presided over the remainder of the session on 9 August and hoisted the Congress flag at the Gowalia Tank Maidan . This marked the commencement of the movement . The police fired upon the assembly at the session . Aruna was dubbed the Heroine of the 1942 movement for her bravery in the face of danger and was called Grand Old Lady of the Independence movement in her later years . Despite the absence of direct leadership , spontaneous protests and demonstrations were held all over the country , as an expression of the desire of India 's youth to achieve independence . Countdown to independence ( edit ) An arrest warrant was issued in her name but she went underground to evade the arrest and started an underground movement in the year 1942 . Her property was seized and sold . In the meanwhile , she also edited Inquilab , a monthly magazine of the Congress Party , along with Ram Manohar Lohia . In a 1944 issue , she exhorted youth to action by asking them to forget futile discussions about violence and non-violence and join the revolution . Leaders such as Jayaprakash Narayan and Aruna Asaf Ali were described as `` the Political children of Gandhi but recent students of Karl Marx . '' The government announced a reward of 5,000 rupees for her capture . She fell ill and was for a period hiding in Dr. Joshi 's Hospital in Karol Bagh in Delhi . Mahatma Gandhi sent her a hand - written note to her to come out of hiding and surrender herself -- as her mission was accomplished and as she could utilize the reward amount for the Harijan cause . However , she came out of hiding only after the warrant against her was withdrawn in 1946 . She treasured the note from the Mahatma and it adorned her drawing room . However , she also faced criticism from Gandhi for her support of the Royal Indian Navy Mutiny , a movement she saw as the single greatest unifying factor of Hindus and Muslims at a time that was the peak of the movement for Pakistan . Post-independence ( edit ) She was a member of the Congress Socialist Party , a caucus within the Congress Party for activists with socialist leanings . Disillusioned with the progress of the Congress Party on socialism she joined a new party , Socialist Party in 1948 . She , however , left that party along with Edatata Narayanan and they visited Moscow along with Rajani Palme Dutt . Both of them joined the Communist Party of India in the early 1950s . On the personal front , she was bereaved when Asaf Ali died in 1953 . In 1954 , she helped form the National Federation of Indian Women , the women 's wing of CPI but left the party in 1956 following Nikita Khrushchev 's disowning of Stalin . In 1958 , she was elected the first Mayor of Delhi . She was closely associated with social activists and secularists of her era like Krishna Menon , Vimla Kapoor , Guru Radha Kishan , Premsagar Gupta , Rajani Palme Joti , Sarla Sharma and Subhadra Joshi for social welfare and development in Delhi . She and Narayanan started Link publishing house and published a daily newspaper , Patriot and a weekly , Link the same year . The publications became prestigious due to the patronage of leaders such as Jawaharlal Nehru , Krishna Menon and Biju Patnaik . Later she moved out of the publishing house due to internal politics , stunned by greed taking over the creed of her comrades . In 1964 , she rejoined the Congress Party but stopped taking part in active politics . Despite reservations about the emergency , she remained close to Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi . She died in New Delhi on 29 July 1996 , aged 87 . Legacy ( edit ) Aruna Asaf Ali was awarded International Lenin Peace Prize for the year 1964 and the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding in 1991 . She was awarded India 's second highest civilian honour , the Padma Vibhushan in her lifetime in 1992 , and finally the highest civilian award , the Bharat Ratna , posthumously in 1997 . In 1998 , a stamp commemorating her was issued . Aruna Asaf Ali marg in New Delhi was named in her honour . All India Minorities Front distributes the Dr Aruna Asaf Ali Sadbhawana Award annually .

Medical school

Medical school - wikipedia Medical school Jump to : navigation , search For trade associations for medical professionals , see Medical college . `` Med school '' redirects here . For the experimental music label , see Hospital Records . See also : Medical education and List of medical schools This article includes a list of references , but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations . Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations . ( December 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) A medical school is a tertiary educational institution -- or part of such an institution -- that teaches medicine , and awards a professional degree for physicians and surgeons . Such medical degrees include the Bachelor of Medicine , Bachelor of Surgery ( MBBS , MBChB , BMBS ) , Doctor of Medicine ( MD ) , or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine ( DO ) . Many medical schools offer additional degrees , such as a Doctor of Philosophy , Master 's degree , a physician assistant program , or other post-secondary education . Medical schools can also carry out medical research and operate teaching hospitals . Around the world , criteria , structure , teaching methodology , and nature of medical programs offered at medical schools vary considerably . Medical schools are often highly competitive , using standardized entrance examinations , as well as grade point average and leadership roles , to narrow the selection criteria for candidates . In most countries , the study of medicine is completed as an undergraduate degree not requiring prerequisite undergraduate coursework . However , an increasing number of places are emerging for graduate entrants who have completed an undergraduate degree including some required courses . In the United States and Canada , almost all medical degrees are second entry degrees , and require several years of previous study at the university level . Medical degrees are awarded to medical students after the completion of their degree program , which typically lasts five or more years for the undergraduate model and four years for the graduate model . Many modern medical schools integrate clinical education with basic sciences from the beginning of the curriculum ( e.g. ) . More traditional curricula are usually divided into preclinical and clinical blocks . In preclinical sciences , students study subjects such as biochemistry , genetics , pharmacology , pathology , anatomy , physiology and medical microbiology , among others . Subsequent clinical rotations usually include internal medicine , general surgery , pediatrics , psychiatry , and obstetrics and gynecology , among others . Although medical schools confer upon graduates a medical degree , a physician typically may not legally practice medicine until licensed by the local government authority . Licensing may also require passing a test , undergoing a criminal background check , checking references , paying a fee , and undergoing several years of postgraduate training . Medical schools are regulated by each country and appear in the World Directory of Medical Schools which was formed by the merger of the AVICENNA Directory for medicine and the FAIMER International Medical Education Directory .

Ghana ( edit ) There are seven medical schools in Ghana : The University of Ghana Medical School in Accra , the KNUST School of Medical Sciences in Kumasi , University for Development Studies School of Medicine in Tamale , University of Cape Coast Medical School and the University of Allied Health Sciences in Ho , Volta Region , the leading private medical school in Ghana - the Accra College of Medicine , and Family Health Medical School another private medical school . Basic Medical education lasts 6 years in all the medical schools . Entry into these medical schools are highly competitive and it is usually based on successful completion of the Senior High School Examinations . The University of Ghana Medical School has however introduced a graduate entry medical program to admit students with mainly science - related degrees into a 4 - year medical school program . Students graduating from any of these medical schools get the MBChB degree and the title `` Dr '' . For the First 3 years Students are awarded BSc in the field of Medical science for University of Ghana medical school ; and Human biology for KNUST and UDS medical schools . The University of Ghana Medical School and KNUST School of Medical Sciences in Kumasi use the Tradition medical education model whiles University for Development Studies School of Medicine uses the Problem - based learning model . Medical graduates are then registered provisionally with the Medical and Dental Council ( MDC ) of Ghana as House Officers ( Interns ) . Upon completion of the mandatory 2 - year housemanship , these medical doctors are permanently registered with the MDC and can practice as medical officers ( General Practitioners ) anywhere in the country . The housemanship training is done only in hospitals accredited for such purposes by the Medical and Dental Council of Ghana Following the permanent registration with the medical and dental council , doctors can specialize in any of the various fields that is organized by either the West African college of Physicians and Surgeons or the Ghana College of Physician and Surgeons . Medical officers are also sometimes hired by the Ghana Health Service to work in the Districts / Rural areas as Primary Care Physicians . Kenya ( edit ) In Kenya , medical school is a faculty of a university . Medical education lasts for 5 years after which the student graduates with an undergraduate ( MBChB ) degree . This is followed by a mandatory 12 - month full - time internship at an approved hospital after which one applies for registration with the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board if they intend to practice medicine in the country . The first two years of medical school cover the basic medical ( preclinical ) sciences while the last four years are focused on the clinical sciences and internship . There are no medical school entry examinations or interviews and admission is based on students ' performance in the high school exit examination ( Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education - KCSE ) . Students who took the AS Level or the SAT can also apply but there is a very strict quota limiting the number of students that get accepted into public universities . This quota does not apply to private universities . There are four established public medical schools : University of Nairobi ( oldest , established 1967 ) Moi University in Eldoret ( established in the 1980s with major support from the Indiana University School of Medicine - USA , and with whom there remain significant ties ) Kenyatta University at Kahawa ( established 2004 ) Egerton University in Nakuru ( established in 2007 ) Jomo Kanyatta University of Agriculture and Technology Maseno University Both Nairobi and Moi Universities run post graduate medical training programs that run over 3 years and lead to the award of master of medicine , MMed , in the respective specialty . There has been progress made by the Aga Khan University in Karachi , Pakistan and the Aga Khan University Hospital ( AKUH ) in Nairobi towards the establishment of a Health Sciences University in Kenya with an associated medical school . AKUH in Nairobi , already offers post graduate MMed programmes . These are run over 4 years . Completion of formal specialty training in Kenya is followed by two years of supervised clinical work before one can apply for recognition as a specialist , in their respective field , by the medical board . Nigeria ( edit ) There are several medical schools in Nigeria . Entrance into these schools is highly competitive . Candidates graduating from high school must attain high scores on the West African Examination Council 's ( WAEC ) Senior School Certificate Exam ( SSCE / GCE ) and high scores in four subjects ( Physics , English , Chemistry , and Biology ) in the University Matriculation Examination ( UME ) . Students undergo rigorous training for 6 years and culminate with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery ( MBBS / MBChB ) . The undergraduate program is six years and one year of work experience in government hospitals . After medical school , graduates are mandated to spend one year of housemanship ( internship ) and one year of community service before they are eligible to be fully licensed by the Medical and Dental Council . South Africa ( edit ) See also : List of medical schools in South Africa ; Healthcare in South Africa ; Category : Teaching hospitals in South Africa Related : Dental degree # South Africa There are eight medical schools in South Africa , each under the auspices of a public university . As the country is a former British colony , most of the institutions follow the British - based undergraduate method of instruction , admitting students directly from high school into a 6 or occasionally five - year program . Some universities such as the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg and the University of Cape Town have started offering post-graduate medical degrees that run concurrently with their undergraduate programs . In this instance , a student having completed an appropriate undergraduate degree with basic sciences can enter into a four - year postgraduate program . South African medical schools award the MBChB degree , except the University of the Witwatersrand , which styles its degree MBBCh . Some universities allow students to earn an intercalated degree , completing a BSc ( Medical ) with an additional year of study after the second or third year of the MBChB . The University of Cape Town , in particular , has spearheaded a recent effort to increase the level of medical research training and exposure of medical students through an Intercalated Honours Programme , with the option to extend this to a PhD . Following successful completion of study , all South African medical graduates must complete a two - year internship as well as a further year of community service in order to register with the Health Professions Council and practice as a doctor in the country . Specialisation is usually a five - to seven - year training process ( depending on the specialty ) requiring registering as a medical registrar attached to an academic clinical department in a large teaching hospital with appropriate examinations . The specialist qualification may be conferred as a Fellowship by the independent Colleges of Medicine of South Africa ( CMSA ) , following British tradition , or as a Magisterial degree by the university ( usually the M Med , Master of Medicine , degree ) . The Medical schools and the CMSA also offer Higher Diplomas in many fields . Research degrees are the M. Med and Ph. D. or M.D. , depending on university . Medical students from all over the world come to South Africa to gain practical experience in the country 's many teaching hospitals and rural clinics . The language of instruction is English but a few indigenous languages are studied briefly . The University of the Free State has a parallel medium policy , meaning all English classes are also presented in Afrikaans , therefore students who choose to study in Afrikaans , do so separately from the English class . Sudan ( edit ) In Sudan , medical school is a faculty of a university . Medical school is usually 6 years , and by the end of the 6 years the students acquires a bachelor 's degree of Medicine and Surgery . Post graduating there is a mandatory one - year full - time internship at one of the university or Government Teaching hospitals , then a license is issued . During the first three years the curriculum is completed , and throughout the next three years it is repeated with practical training . Students with high grades are accepted for free in Government Universities . Students who score a grade less than the required would have to pay and must also acquire a still high grade . Students who take foreign examinations other than the Sudanese High School Examination are also accepted in Universities , students taking IGCSE / SATs and other Arabian countries . All medical students who want to be enrolled in internship program , should undergo registration under the Sudanese Medical Council . Tunisia ( 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 . ( November 2009 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) In Tunisia , education is free for all Tunisian citizens and for foreigners who have scholarships . The oldest Medical school is a faculty of the University of Tunis . There are four medicine faculties situated in the major cities of Tunis , Sfax , Sousse and Monastir . Admission is bound to the success and score in the baccalaureate examination . Admission score threshold is very high , based on competition among all applicants throughout the nation . Medical school curriculum consists of five years . The first two years are medical theory , containing all basic sciences related to medicine , and the last three years consists of clinical issues related to all medical specialties . During these last three years , the student gets the status of `` Externe '' . The student has to attend at the university hospital every day , rotating around all wards . Every period is followed by a clinical exam regarding the student 's knowledge in that particular specialty . After those five years , there are two years on internship , in which the student is a physician but under the supervision of the chief doctor ; the student rotates over the major and most essential specialties during period of four months each . After that , student has the choice of either passing the residency national exam or extending his internship for another year , after which he gains the status of family physician . The residency program consists of four to five years in the specialty he qualifies , depending on his score in the national residency examination under the rule of highest score chooses first . Whether the student chooses to be a family doctor or a specialist , he has to make a doctorate thesis , which he will be defending in front of a jury , after which he gains his degree of Doctor of Medicine ( MD ) . Uganda ( edit ) Main article : Medical school in Uganda As of April 2017 , there are nine accredited medical schools in Uganda . Training leading to the award of the degree of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery ( MBChB ) lasts five years , if there are no re-takes . After graduating , a year of internship in a hospital designated for that purpose , under the supervision of a specialist in that discipline is required before an unrestricted license to practice medicine and surgery is granted by the Uganda Medical and Dental Practitioners Council ( UMDPC ) . There is Postgraduate training such as the degree of Master of Medicine ( MMed ) which is a three - year programme , available at Makerere University School of Medicine in several disciplines . Makerere University School of Public Health , offers the degree of Master of Public Health ( MPH ) following a twenty - two ( 22 ) - month period of study , which includes field work . Zimbabwe ( edit ) In Zimbabwe there are three medical schools is offering Medical degrees . For undergrads , these are University of Zimbabwe - College of Health Sciences ( MBChB ) , National University of Science and Technology ( NUST ) Medical school ( MBBS ) and Midlands State University ( MSU ) ( MBChB ) . Only UZ is offering postgrad degrees in the Medical faculty . Training lasts 5 1 / 2 years . The curriculum is as follows : Part 1 ( 1 year ) -- Biochemistry , Communication Skills for Academic Purposes , Anatomy , Physiology and Behavioral Sciences . Professional exams are written in the first two and failure to attain a pass in Biochemistry warranties a repeat of first year . Part 2 ( 1 year ) -- Communication Skills for Professional Purposes , Anatomy , Physiology , Behavioral Sciences . Professional exams are written at the end of second year and failure to attain a passmark in any of the last three courses on the list warranties a repeat of the year . Communication Skills can be carried to the next year , but the student should pass the course before graduation . Part 3 ( 1.5 years ) -- Pathology ( Histopathology ) , Medical Microbiology , Chemical Pathology , Hematology , Forensic Pathology , Immunology and Toxicology . A professional exam is written at the end of the third year and the student has to pass to proceed . There are also surgery and medicine rotations during the year . Also , the students cover most of the basic Pharmacology during the third stage of the degrees . Part 4 ( 1 year ) -- Community Medicine , Psychiatry and Clinical Pharmacology Part 5 ( 1 year ) -- Medicine , Surgery , Obstetrics and Gynecology , Pediatrics Internship is 2 years duration , with the first year spent in medicine and surgery and the second year doing pediatrics , anesthesia / psychiatry and obstetrics and gynecology . Thereafter one can apply for MMED at the university which last 4 -- 5 years depending on specialty . Currently no subspecialist education is available . Americas ( edit ) Medical student at a laboratory at Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education , Mexico City . Argentina ( edit ) See also : List of medical schools in Argentina Medical degree programs in Argentina typically are six years long , with some universities opting for 7 year programs . Each one of the 3000 medical students who graduate each year in Argentina are required before graduation to dedicate a minimum of 8 months to community service without pay ; although in some provinces ( especially round the more developed south ) there are government - funded hospitals who pay for this work . Some universities have cultural exchange programmes that allow a medical student in their final year to serve their community time overseas . Upon graduation , one of the following degrees is obtained , according to the university : Doctor of Medicine , or both Doctor of Medicine and Doctor of Surgery . Public universities usually confer both degrees , and private universities bestow only Doctor of Medicine . In daily practice , however , there is no substantial difference between what a Doctor of Medicine or a Doctor of Medicine and Doctor of Surgery are allowed to do . When the degree is obtained , a record is created for that new doctor in the index of the National Ministry of Education ( Ministerio Nacional de Educación ) and the physician is given their corresponding medical practitioner 's ID , which is a number that identifies him and his academic achievements . In addition , there is a provincial ID , i.e. a number to identify doctors in the province they practise medicine in . Doctors wishing to pursue a speciality must take entrance exams at the public / private institution of their choice that offers them . It is easier for students in private Medical Schools to obtain a residency in a Private Hospital , especially when the university has its own hospital , as the university holds positions specifically for its graduates . Speciality courses last about two to five years , depending on the branch of medicine the physician has chosen . There is no legal limit for the number of specialities a doctor can learn , although most doctors choose to do one and then they sub-specialise for further job opportunities and less overall competition , along with higher wages . In Argentina there are public and private medical schools , however the prestige of the public institutions is undeniable and the private institutions do not normally appear in international rankings . A person who can afford to attend a private university , quite expensive for the average Argentinian , will choose that option over public education because of the smaller groups of students in each class and because of the lack of strictness in course evaluation . By law entrance into public institutions is open and tuition - free to all who have a high school diploma , and universities are expressly forbidden from restricting access with difficult entrance exams . Point in case , in 2016 La Universidad Nacional de la Plata was obligated by the governing bodies to stop forcing its students to write an entrance exam . As a result , that university experienced a major increase in the size of its student population . When it comes to educational quality , la Universidad de Buenos Aires , a public university , is widely recognised as the top medical school in the country . Bolivia ( edit ) In Bolivia , all medical schools are faculties within a university and offer a five - year M.D. equivalent . To acquire a license to exercise medical science from the government , all students must also complete 1 year and 3 months of internship . This consists of 3 months each of surgery , internal medicine , gynecology , pediatrics and public health . At least one of the internships must be done in a rural area of the country . After getting the degree and license , a doctor may take a post-graduate residency in order to acquire a specialty . Brazil ( edit ) The Brazilian medical schools follow the European model of a six - year curriculum , divided into three cycles of two years each . The first two years are called basic cycle ( ciclo básico ) . During this time students are instructed in the basic sciences ( anatomy , physiology , pharmacology , immunology etc . ) with activities integrated with the medical specialties , allowing the student an overview of the practical application of such content . After its completion , the students advance to the clinical cycle ( ciclo clinico ) . At this stage contacts with patients intensify and work with tests and diagnostics , putting into practice what was learned in the first two years . The last two are called cycle internship ( ciclo do internato ) . In this last step the students focus on clinical practice , through training in teaching hospitals and clinics . The teaching of this last step respecting an axis of increasing complexity , enabling students to make decisions and participate effectively in form and operative care under the direct supervision of faculty and qualified to act as teaching aids physicians . The performance of the internal develops redemption of ethical and humanistic dimensions of care , causing the student to recognize the values and principles that guide the physician - patient relationship . After six years of training , students graduate and are awarded the title of physician ( Médico ) allowing them to register with the Regional Council of Medicine ( Conselho Regional de Medicina ) . The recent graduate will be able to exercise the medical profession as a general practitioner and may apply to undertake postgraduate training . In 2012 , the Regional Council of Medicine of São Paulo ( Conselho Regional de Medicina do Estado de São Paulo ) established that physicians who graduate from this year must pass a test to obtain professional registration . Passing the exam , however , is not linked to obtaining registration . It required only the presence of the candidate and the test performance . Already at the national level , pending in the Senate a bill creating the National Proficiency Examination in Medicine ( Exame Nacional de Proficiência em Medicina ) , which would make the race a prerequisite for the exercise of profession . Physicians who want to join a specialization program must undergo a new selection examination considered as competitive as that required to join a medical school . Works in health institutions under the guidance of medical professionals with high ethical and professional qualification . The specialization programs are divided into two categories : direct access and prerequisite . The specialties with direct access are those in which the doctor can enroll without having any prior expertise . Any physicians can apply to examinations for these specialties , regardless of time of training or prior experience . To apply to proprietary pre-requisite , the doctor should have already completed a specialty prior . The programs may range from 2 to 6 . In Brazil are currently recognized by the Federal Council of Medicine , the Brazilian Medical Association and the National Commission of Medical Residency 53 residency programs . Fully complied with , gives the title of resident physician specialist . Canada ( edit ) Toronto Faculty of Medicine Main article : Medical school in Canada See also : List of medical schools in Canada In 2013 , the Association of American Medical Colleges lists 17 accredited MD - granting medical schools in Canada . In Canada , a medical school is a faculty or school of a university that offers a three - or four - year Doctor of Medicine ( M.D. or M.D.C.M. ) degree . Generally , medical students begin their studies after receiving a bachelor 's degree in another field , often one of the biological sciences . However , admittance can still be granted during third and fourth year . Minimum requirements for admission vary by region from two to four years of post-secondary study . The Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada publishes a detailed AFMC.ca , guide to admission requirements of Canadian faculties of medicine on a yearly basis . Admission offers are made by individual medical schools , generally on the basis of a personal statement , undergraduate record ( GPA ) , scores on the Medical College Admission Test ( MCAT ) , and interviews . Volunteer work is often an important criterion considered by admission committees . All four medical schools in Quebec and two Ontario schools ( University of Ottawa , Northern Ontario School of Medicine ) do not require the MCAT . McMaster requires that the MCAT be written , though they only look for particular scores ( 6 or better ) on the verbal reasoning portion of the test . The first half of the medical curriculum is dedicated mostly to teaching the basic sciences relevant to medicine . Teaching methods can include traditional lectures , problem - based learning , laboratory sessions , simulated patient sessions , and limited clinical experiences . The remainder of medical school is spent in clerkship . Clinical clerks participate in the day - to - day management of patients . They are supervised and taught during this clinical experience by residents and fully licensed staff physicians . Students enter into the Canadian Resident Matching Service , commonly abbreviated as CaRMS in the fall of their final year . Students rank their preferences of hospitals and specialties . A computerized matching system determines placement for residency positions . ' Match Day ' usually occurs in March , a few months before graduation . The length of post-graduate training varies with choice of specialty . During the final year of medical school , students complete part 1 of the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination ( MCCQE ) . Upon completion of the final year of medical school , students are awarded the degree of M.D. Students then begin training in the residency program designated to them by CaRMS . Part 2 of the MCCQE , an Objective Structured Clinical Examination , is taken following completion of twelve months of residency training . After both parts of the MCCQE are successfully completed , the resident becomes a Licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada . However , in order to practice independently , the resident must complete the residency program and take a board examination pertinent to his or her intended scope of practice . In the final year of residency training , residents take an exam administered by either the College of Family Physicians of Canada or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada , depending on whether they are seeking certification in family medicine or another specialty . Caribbean ( edit ) See also : List of medical schools in the Caribbean In 2011 , the International Medical Education Directory listed 59 current medical schools in the Caribbean . 54 grant the MD degree , 3 grant the MBBS degree , and 2 grant either the MD or MBBS degree . 30 of the medical schools in the Caribbean are regional , which train students to practice in the country or region where the school is located . The remaining 29 Caribbean medical schools are known as offshore schools , which primarily train students from the United States and Canada who intend to return home for residency and clinical practice after graduation . At most offshore schools , basic sciences are completed in the Caribbean while clinical clerkships are completed at teaching hospitals in the United States . Several agencies may also accredit Caribbean medical schools , as listed in the FAIMER Directory of Organizations that Recognize / Accredit Medical Schools ( DORA ) . 25 of the 29 regional medical schools in the Caribbean are accredited , while 14 of the 30 offshore medical schools are accredited . Curaçao ( edit ) Curaçao currently ( 2015 ) , has 5 medical schools and one other medical university under construction . The majority are located within the city of Willemstad . All six medical schools on the island of Curaçao , only provide education in Basic Medical Science ( BMS ) which goes towards the degree of Medical Doctor or Doctor of Medicine ( 2016 ) . Presently , none of the medical schools offer other degrees ; such as MBBS or PhD ( 2016 ) . All students after completing their medical school 's Basic Medical Science program in Curaçao ; will then have to apply to either take USMLE Step Exams , The Canadian or UK Board Exams . A large percentage of these medical students who attend these medical schools in Curaçao are either from North America , Africa , Europe or Asia . Chile ( edit ) In Chile , there are 21 medical schools . Principal medical schools are Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in Santiago , Universidad de Chile , Universidad de Concepción and Universidad de Santiago de Chile . The pre-grade studies are distributed in 7 years , where the last 2 are the internship , that include at least surgery , internal medicine , gynecology and pediatrics . After getting the degree of Licenciate in Medicine ( General Medicine ) the M.D. must pass a medicine knowledge exam called National Unic Exam of Medical Knowledge ( EUNACOM `` Examen Único Nacional de Conocimientos de Medicina '' in Spanish ) and can take a direct specialty or work before in primary attention in order to gain access to a residency . Colombia ( edit ) In Colombia , there are 50 medical schools listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools , 27 of which have active programs and are currently registered and accredited as high - quality programs by the Colombian Ministry of Education . The main medical programs are offered by the Universidad Nacional de Colombia , Pontificia Universidad Javeriana , Universidad del Rosario , Universidad El Bosque , Universidad de los Andes , Universidad del Valle , Universidad de Antioquia , and Universidad de la Sabana . Most programs require between 6 -- 7 years of study , and all offer a Doctor of Medicine ( MD ) degree . In some cases the school also allows for a second degree to be studied for at the same time ( this is chosen by the student , though most students end up needing to do alternate semesters between their degrees , and mostly in careers like microbiology or biomedical engineering ) . For example , the Universidad de los Andes has a program whereby the medical student could graduate with both an MD and a Master of Business Administration ( MBA ) degree , or an MD and a master 's degree in public health . Admission to medical school varies with the school , but is usually dependent on a combination of a general application to the university , an entrance exam , a personal statement or interview , and secondary ( high ) school performance mostly as reflected on the ICFES score ( the grade received on the state exam in the final year of secondary / high school ) . In most medical programs , the first two years deal with basic scientific courses ( cellular and molecular biology , chemistry , organic chemistry , mathematics , and physics ) , and the core medical sciences ( anatomy , embryology , histology , physiology , and biochemistry ) . The following year may change in how it is organized in different schools , but is usually organ system - based pathophysiology and therapeutics ( general and systems pathology , pharmacology , microbiology , parasitology , immunology , and medical genetics are also taught in this block ) . In the first two years , the programs also usually begin the courses in the epidemiology track ( which may or may not include biostatistics ) , a clinical skills track ( semiology and the clinical examination ) , a social medicine / public health track , and a medical ethics and communication skills track . Modes of training vary , but are usually based on lectures , simulations , standardized - patient sessions , problem - based learning sessions , seminars , and observational clinical experiences . By year three , most schools have begun the non-elective , clinical - rotation block with accompanying academic courses ( these include but are not limited to internal medicine , pediatrics , general surgery , anaesthesiology , orthopaedics , gynaecology and obstetrics , emergency medicine , neurology , psychiatry , oncology , urology , physical medicine and rehabilitation , ophthalmology , and otorhinolaryngology ) . Elective rotations are usually introduced in the fourth or fifth year , though as in the case of the non-elective rotations , the hospitals the medical students may be placed in or apply to for a given rotation depend entirely on the medical schools . This is important in terms of the medical training , given the particular distinction of patients , pathologies , procedures , and skills seen and learned in private vs. public hospitals in Colombia . Most schools , however , have placements in both types of hospitals for many specialties . The final year of medical school in Colombia is referred to as the internship year ( `` internado '' ) . The internship year is usually divided into two semesters . The first semester is made up of obligatory rotations that every student does though in different orders , and the medical intern serves in 5 - 7 different specialties , typically including internal medicine , paediatrics , general surgery , anaesthesiology , orthopaedics , gynaecology and obstetrics , and emergency medicine . The extent of the responsibilities of the intern varies with the hospital , as does the level of supervision and teaching , but generally , medical interns in Colombia extensively take , write , and review clinical histories , answer and discuss referrals with their seniors , do daily progress notes for the patients under their charge , participate in the service rounds , present and discuss patients at rounds , serve shifts , assist in surgical procedures , and assist in general administrative tasks . Sometimes , they are charged with ordering diagnostic testing , but , under Colombian law they can not prescribe medication as they are not graduate physicians . This , of course , are to be completed in addition to their academic responsibilities . The second semester is made up of elective rotations , which can be at home or abroad , in the form of clerkships or observerships . A final graduation requirement is to sit a standardized exam , the State Exam for Quality in Higher Education ( `` Examen de Estado de Calidad de la Educación Superior '' or ECAES , also known as SABER PRO ) specific to medicine , which tests , for example , knowledge in public health and primary care . After graduation , the physician is required to register with the Colombian Ministry of Health , in order to complete a year of obligatory social service ( `` servicio social obligatorio '' ) , after which they qualify for a professional license to practice general medicine and apply for a medical residency within Colombia . If , however , the student wishes to practice general medicine abroad or continue onto their postgraduate studies , for example , they can independently begin the appropriate application / equivalency process , without doing their obligatory social service . In this case they would not be licensed to practise medicine in Colombia and if they wish to do so , will have to register with the Ministry of Health . N.B. If the graduate physician gets accepted immediately into a residency within Colombia in internal medicine , paediatrics , family medicine , gynecology and obstetrics , general surgery or anaesthesiology , they are allowed to complete a 6 - month - long social service after their residency . In contrast with most countries , residencies in Colombia are NOT paid positions , since one applies for the program through the university offering the post , which requires a tuition . However , on 9th May , 2017 , legislation was formally introduced in Congress that would seek to regulate payment for medical residents , regulate their tuitions , and advocate for their vacation time and working hours . As in other countries , length of residency training depends upon the specialty chosen , and , following its completion , the physician may choose to apply for a fellowship ( subspecialty ) at home or abroad depending on the availability of their desired training programs , or practice in their specialty . El Salvador ( edit ) The Universidad de El Salvador ( University of El Salvador ) has a program of 8 years for students who want to study medicine . The first six years are organized in a two semesters fashion , the seventh year is used for a rotating internship through the mayor specialty areas in a 10 - week periods fashion ( psychiatry and public health share a period ) and the eighth year is designated for Social service in locations approved by the Ministry of Health ( usually as attending physician in Community Health Centers or non-profit organizations ) . The graduates receive the degree of MD and must register in the Public Health Superior Council ( CSSP ) to get the medical license and a registered national number that allows them to prescribe barbiturates and other controlled drugs . In order to attend further studies ( Surgery , Internal medicine , G / OB , Pediatrics , Psychiatry ) , the students in the year of Social service or graduates of any Salvadorian university must apply independently for the residency to the hospital of choice ; the preliminary selection process is based on the results of clinical knowledge tests , followed by psychiatric evaluations and interviews with the hospital medical and administrative staff . The basic residencies mentioned above commonly last 3 years ; at the last trimester of the third year , the residents can apply to the position of Chief of residents ( 1 year ) or follow further studies as resident ( 3 years ) of a specialty ( for example : orthopedic surgery , urology , neurology , endocrinology ... ) . No further studies are offered to the date ; therefore , specialist looking for training or practice in a specific area ( For example : a neurosurgeon looking for specialty in endovascular neurosurgery , spine surgery or pediatric neurosurgery ) must attend studies in other countries and apply for such positions independently . Guyana ( edit ) In Guyana the medical school is accredited by the National Accreditation Council of Guyana . The medical program ranges from 4 years to 6 years . Students are taught the basic sciences aspect of the program within the first 2 years of medical school . In the clinical sciences program , students are introduced to the hospital setting where they gain hands on training from the qualifying physicians and staff at the various teaching hospitals across Guyana . Texila American University American International School of Medicine University of Guyana Students graduating from the University of Guyana are not required to sit a board exams before practicing medicine in Guyana . Students graduating from the American International School of Medicine sit the USMLE , PLAB or CAMC exams . Haiti ( edit ) Medical schools in Haiti conduct training in French . The universities offering medical training in Haiti are the Université Notre Dame d'Haïti , Université Quisqueya , Université d'Etat d'Haïti and Université Lumière . The Université Notre Dame d'Haïti ( UNDH ) is a private Catholic university established by the Episcopal Conference of Haiti . According to the UNDH website , `` the UNDH is not just about academic degrees , it is mainly the formation of a new type of Haiti , which includes in its culture and moral values of the Gospel , essential for serious and honest people that the country needs today . '' The other two private schools offering medical degrees are Université Quisqueya and Université Lumière . The Université d'Etat d'Haïti is a public school . Attending medical school in Haiti may be less expensive than attending medical universities located in other parts of the world , but the impact of the country 's political unrest should be considered , as it affects the safety of both visitors and Haitians . Duration of basic medical degree course , including practical training : 6 years Title of degree awarded : Docteur en Médecine ( Doctor of Medicine ) Medical registration / license to practice : Registration is obligatory with the Ministère de la Santé publique et de la Population , Palais des Ministères , Port - au - Prince . The license to practice medicine is granted to medical graduates who have completed 1 year of social service . Those who have qualified abroad must have their degree validated by the Faculty of Medicine in Haiti . Foreigners require special authorization to practice . Panama ( edit ) The system of Medical education in Panama usually takes students from high school directly into Medical School for a 6 - year course , typically with a two years internship . This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( January 2013 ) United States ( edit ) Harvard Medical School Main article : Medical school in the United States See also : List of medical schools in the United States In 2012 , the Association of American Medical Colleges and American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine listed 141 accredited M.D. - granting and 30 accredited D.O. - granting medical schools in the United States . The Doctor of Medicine ( MD ) and Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine ( DO ) are graded to be equivalent to a Professional Doctorate . Admission to medical school in the United States is based mainly on a GPA , MCAT score , admissions essay , interview , clinical work experience , and volunteering activities , along with research and leadership roles in an applicant 's history . While obtaining an undergraduate degree is not an explicit requirement for a few medical schools , virtually all admitted students have earned at least a bachelor 's degree . A few medical schools offer pre-admittance to students directly from high school by linking a joint 3 - year accelerated undergraduate degree and a standard 4 - year medical degree with certain undergraduate universities , sometimes referred to as a `` 7 - year program '' , where the student receives a bachelor 's degree after their first year in medical school . As undergraduates , students must complete a series of prerequisites , consisting of biology , physics , and chemistry ( general chemistry and organic ) . Many medical schools have additional requirements including calculus , genetics , statistics , biochemistry , English , and / or humanities classes . In addition to meeting the pre-medical requirements , medical school applicants must take and report their scores on the MCAT , a standardized test that measures a student 's knowledge of the sciences and the English language . Some students apply for medical school following their third year of undergraduate education while others pursue advanced degrees or other careers prior to applying to medical school . In the nineteenth century , there were over four hundred medical schools in the United States . By 1910 , the number was reduced to one hundred and forty - eight medical schools and by 1930 the number totaled only seventy - six . Many early medical schools were criticized for not sufficiently preparing their students for medical professions , leading to the creation of the American Medical Association in 1847 for the purpose of self - regulation of the profession . Abraham Flexner ( who in 1910 released the Flexner report with the Carnegie Foundation ) , the Rockefeller Foundation , and the AMA are credited with laying the groundwork for what is now known as the modern medical curriculum . The restriction of the supply of physicians that resulted from the Flexner Report has been criticized by classical economists as one of the principal factors in the increased prices relative to quality observed in medicine over the past 100 years . The standard U.S. medical school curriculum is four years long . Traditionally , the first two years are composed mainly of classroom basic science education , while the final two years primarily include rotations in clinical settings where students learn patient care firsthand . Today , clinical education is spread across all four years with the final year containing the most clinical rotation time . The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ( CMS ) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ( HHS ) has published mandatory rules , obliging on all inpatient and outpatient teaching settings , laying down the guidelines for what medical students in the United States may do , if they have not completed a clerkship or sub-internship . These rules apply to when they are in the clinical setting in school , not when they are , for example , helping staff events or in other non-formal educational settings , even if they are helping provide certain clinical services along with nurses and the supervising physicians - for example , certain basic screening procedures . In the formal clinical setting in school , they can only assist with certain patient evaluation and management tasks , after the vital signs , chief complaint and the history of present illness have been discerned , but prior to the physical examination : reviewing the patient 's signs and symptoms in each body system , and then reviewing the patient 's personal medical , genetic , family , educational / occupational , and psychosocial history . The student 's supervising physician ( or another physician with supervisory privileges if the original doctor is no longer available , for some reason ) must be in the room during the student 's work , and must conduct this same assessment of the patient before performing the actual physical examination , and after finishing and conferring with the student , will review his or her notes and opinion , editing or correcting them if necessary , and will also have his or her own professional notes ; both must then sign and date and I.D. the student 's notes and the medical record . They may observe , but not perform , physical examinations , surgeries , endoscopic or laparoscopic procedures , radiological or nuclear medicine procedures , oncology sessions , and obstetrics . The patient must give consent for their presence and participation in his or her care , even at a teaching facility . Depending on the time they have completed in school , their familiarity with the area of medicine and the procedure , and the presence of their supervisor , and any others needed , in the room or nearby , they may be allowed to conduct certain very minor tests associated with the physical examination , such as simple venipuncture blood draws , and electrocardiograms and electroencephalograms , for learning and experience purposes , especially when there is no intern or resident available . Upon successful completion of medical school , students are granted the title of Doctor of Medicine ( M.D. ) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine ( D.O. ) . Residency training , which is a supervised training period of three to seven years ( usually incorporating the 1st year internship ) typically completed for specific areas of specialty . Physicians who sub-specialize or who desire more supervised experience may complete a fellowship , which is an additional one to four years of supervised training in their area of expertise . Upon completion of medical school in the United States , students transition into residency programs through the National Resident Match Program ( NRMP ) . Each year , approximately 16,000 US medical school students participate in the residency match . An additional 18,000 independent applicants -- former graduates of U.S. medical schools , U.S. osteopathic medical schools , U.S. podiatry students , Canadian students , and graduates of foreign medical schools -- compete for the approximately 25,000 available residency positions . Unlike those in many other countries , US medical students typically finance their education with personal debt . In 1992 , the average debt of a medical doctor after residency was $25,000 . For the class of 2009 , the average debt of a medical student is $157,990 and 25.1 % of students had debt in excess of $200,000 ( prior to residency ) . For the past decade the cost of attendance has increased 5 - 6 % each year ( roughly 1.6 to 2.1 times inflation ) . Licensing of medical doctors in the United States is coordinated at the state level . Most states require that prospective licensees complete the following requirements : Graduation from an accredited medical school granting the degree of D.O. or M.D. United States and Canada schools must be accredited by the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine or the Liaison Committee on Medical Education . Foreign medical school graduates generally must complete some training within the United States . Satisfactory completion of at least one year of an AOA - or ACGME - approved residency . Passing the United States Medical Licensing Examination or the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination ( USMLE , COMLEX , or simply `` the boards '' ) . USMLE and COMLEX both consist of four similar parts : Step or Level I is taken at the end of the second year of medical school and tests students ' mastery of the basic sciences as they apply to clinical medicine . Step II Clinical Knowledge ( CK ) or Level II Cognitive Evaluation ( CE ) is taken during the fourth year of medical school and tests students ' mastery of the management of ill patients . Step II Clinical Skills ( CS ) or Level II Performance Evaluation ( PE ) is taken during the fourth year of medical school and tests students ' mastery of clinical skills using a series of standardized patient encounters . Step or Level III is taken after the first year of a residency program and tests physicians ' ability to independently manage the care of patients . Uruguay ( edit ) The University of Montevideo in Uruguay is the oldest in Latin America , being public and free , co-governed by students , graduates and teachers . The progress of medical and biological sciences in the nineteenth century , the impact of the work of Claude Bernard ( 1813 -- 1878 ) , Rudolf Virchow ( 1821 -- 1902 ) Robert Koch ( 1843 -- 1910 ) , Louis Pasteur ( 1822 -- 1895 ) and all the splendor of French medical schools , Vienna , Berlin and Edinburgh , was a stimulus for the creation of a medical school in the country . The basic medical school program lasts seven years . There is also a second medical school in the country , it is private and located in Punta del Este , Maldonado . Venezuela ( edit ) These are the universities with a medical school in Venezuela : Central University of Venezuela . University of the Andes ( Venezuela ) . University of Zulia . University of Carabobo . Universidad de Oriente . Universidad Centroccidental Lisandro Alvarado . Universidad Nacional Experimental Francisco de Miranda . Universidad Nacional Experimental de Los Llanos Centrales Rómulo Gallegos . Bolivarian University of Venezuela . Asia and oceania ( edit ) Australia ( edit ) See also : Medical education in Australia Historically , Australian medical schools have followed the British tradition by conferring the degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery ( MBBS ) to its graduates whilst reserving the title of Doctor of Medicine ( MD ) for their research training degree , analogous to the PhD , or for their honorary doctorates . Although the majority of Australian MBBS degrees have been graduate programs since the 1990s , under the previous Australian Qualifications Framework ( AQF ) they remained categorised as Level 7 Bachelor degrees together with other undergraduate programs . The latest version of the AQF includes the new category of Level 9 Master 's ( Extended ) degrees which permits the use of the term ' Doctor ' in the styling of the degree title of relevant professional programs . As a result , various Australian medical schools have replaced their MBBS degrees with the MD to resolve the previous anomalous nomenclature . With the introduction of the Master 's level MD , universities have also renamed their previous medical research doctorates . The University of Melbourne was the first to introduce the MD in 2011 as a basic medical degree , and has renamed its research degree to Doctor of Medical Science ( DMedSc ) . Bangladesh ( edit ) See also : List of medical colleges in Bangladesh In Bangladesh , admission to medical colleges is organized by the Governing Body of University of Dhaka . A single admission test is held for government and private colleges . Due to the highly competitive nature of these exams , the total number of applicants across the country is around 78 times the number of students accepted . Admission is based on the entrance examination , as well as students ' individual academic records . The entrance examination consists carries a time limit of one hour . 100 marks are allocated based on objective questions , in which the mark allocation is distributed between a variety of subjects . Biology questions carry 30 marks , Chemistry carries 25 , Physics carries 20 , English carries 15 , and general knowledge carries 10 . Additionally , students ' previous SSC ( Secondary School Certificate ) and HSC ( Higher Secondary School Certificate ) scores each carry up to 100 marks towards the overall examination result . English students prepare themselves for the admission exam ahead of time . This is because as the GCSE and A-Level exams do not cover parts of the Bangladesh syllabus . The undergraduate program consists of five years study , followed by a one - year internship . The degrees granted are Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery ( M.B.B.S. ) . Further postgraduate qualifications may be obtained in the form of Diplomas or Degrees ( MS or MD ) , M. Phil and FCPS ( Fellowship of the College of Physicians and Surgeons ) . The University of Dhaka launched a new BSc in `` Radiology and Imaging Technology , '' offering 30 students the opportunity to contribute towards their entrance exam grade . For students who have passed the HSC , this course contributes towards 25 % of the mark . The course contributes up to 75 % for Diploma - holding students . The duration of the course is four years ( plus 12 weeks for project submission ) . The course covers a variety of topics , including behavioural science , radiological ethics , imaging physics and general procedure . Cambodia ( edit ) After 6 years of general medical education ( a foundation year + 5 years ) , all students will graduate with Bachelor of Medical Sciences ( BMedSc ) បរិញ្ញាប័ត្រ វិទ្យាសាស្រ្ត វេជ្ជសាស្ត្រ . This degree does not allow graduates to work independently as Physician , but it is possible for those who wish to continue to master 's degrees in other fields relating to medical sciences such as Public Health , Epidemiology , Biomedical Science , Nutrition ... Medical graduates , who wish to be fully qualified as physicians or specialists must follow the rule as below : General Practitioner 's ( GP ) course is of 8 years ( BMedSc + 2 - year internship ) . Clinical rotation in the internship is modulated within 4 main disciplines ( general medicine , surgery , gynecology , pediatrics ). The medical degree awarded is Doctor of Medicine ( MD ) សញ្ញាប័ត្រ វេជ្ជបណ្ឌិត ( equivalent to master 's degree ) . After graduating with BMedSc ; any students , who wishes to enter Resodency Training Programs , are required to sit for a rigorous and Entrance Exam . The duration of residency programs lasts from 3 to 4 years after BMedSc ( BMedSc + 3 -- 4 years of specialization ) . Once the graduates , after successfully defense their practicum thesis , are officially awarded the Degree of Specialized Doctor ( MD - with specialization ) សញ្ញាប័ត្រ វេជ្ជបណ្ឌិត ឯកទេស `` Professional Doctorate '' . All Medical graduates must complete Thesis Defense and pass the National Exit Exam ប្រឡង ចេញ ថ្នាក់ ជាតិ ក្នុង វិស័យ សុខាភិបាល to become either GPs or Medical or Surgical Specialists . Hong Kong ( edit ) Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine held by HKU is among the oldest western medicine schools in Far East . Main article : Medical education in Hong Kong Hong Kong has only two comprehensive medical faculties , the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine , University of Hong Kong and the Faculty of Medicine , Chinese University of Hong Kong , and they are also the sole two institutes offering medical and pharmacy programs . Other healthcare discipline programs ( like nursing ) are dispersed among some other universities which do not host a medical faculty . Prospective medical students enter either one of the two faculties of medicine available ( held by The University of Hong Kong and The Chinese University of Hong Kong ) from high schools . The medical program consists of 5 years for those who take the traditional Hong Kong 's Advanced Level Examination ( HKALE ) for admission , or 6 years for those who take the new syllabus Hong Kong 's Diploma of Secondary School Education Examination ( HKDSE ) . International students who take examinations other the two mentioned will be assessed by the schools to decide if they will take the 5 - year program or the 6 - year one . The competition of entering the medical undergraduate programs is cut - throat as the number of intake each year is very limited with a quota of 210 from each school ( 420 in total ) and candidates need to attain an excellent examination result and good performance in interview . The schools put a great emphasis on students ' languages ( both Chinese and English ) and communication skills as they need to communicate with other health care professionals and patients or their family in the future . During their studies at the medical schools , students need to accumulate enough clinical practicing hours in addition before their graduation . The education leads to a degree of Bachelor of medicine and Bachelor of surgery ( M.B. , B.S. by HKU or M.B. , Ch. B. by CUHK ) . After a 5 - or 6 - year degree , one year of internship follows in order to be eligible to practice in Hong Kong . Both HKU and CUHK provide a prestigious bachelor of pharmacy course that is popular among local and overseas students . Students of most other health care disciplines have a study duration of 4 years , except nursing programs which require 5 years . India ( edit ) Main article : Medical college in India See also : List of medical Colleges in India Tirunelveli Medical College , Tamil Nadu , India In India , admission to medical colleges is organized both by the central government CBSE as well as the state governments through tests known as entrance examination . Students who have successfully completed their 10 + 2 ( Physics , Chemistry and Biology Marks are considered and PCB is mandatory ) education ( higher secondary school ) can appear for the tests the same year . The All - India Pre Medical / Dental Test for filling up of 15 % of total MBBS seats in India , conducted by CBSE ( Central Board for Secondary Education ) in the month of April / May intakes about only 2,500 students out of a total applicants of over 600,000 . The Supreme Court Of India has mandated the necessity of entrance examination based upon multiple choice questions and negative marking for wrong answers with subsequent merit over 50 % for selection into MBBS as well as higher medical education . The entrance exams are highly competitive . The graduate program consists of three professionals consisting of 9 semesters , followed by one - year internship ( rotating housemanship ) . The degree granted is Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery ( M.B.B.S. ) of five years and six months . The graduate degree of MBBS is divided into 3 professionals , with each professional ending with a professional exam conducted by the university ( a single university may have up to dozens of medical colleges offering various graduate / post-graduate / post-doctoral degrees ) . After clearing this the student moves into the next professional . Each professional exam consists of a theory exam and a practical exam conducted not only by the same college but also external examiners . The exams are tough and many students are unable to clear them , thereby prolonging their degree time . The first professional is for 1 year and includes preclinical subjects , anatomy , physiology and biochemistry .

The duration of basic medical education is six years and the course leads to the degree of Licentiate of Medicine . France ( edit ) Main article : Medical school in France Medical studies in France are organized as follow : Right after graduating from High School with a Baccalaureat , any student can register at a university of medicine ( there are about 30 of them throughout the country ) . At the end of first year , an internal ranking examination takes place in each of these universities in order to implement the numerus clausus . First year consists mainly of theoretical classes such as biophysics and biochemistry , anatomy , ethics or histology . Passing first year is commonly considered as challenging and requires hard and continuous work . Each student can only try twice . For example , the Université René Descartes welcomes about 2000 students in first year and only 300 after numerus clausus . The second and third year are usually mainly quite theoretical although the teachings are often accompanied by placements in the field ( e.g. internships as nurses or in the emergency room , depending on the university ) . During 4th , 5th and 6th years , medical students get a special status called ' Externe ' ( In some universities , such as Pierre et Marie Curie , the ' Externe ' status is given starting in the 3rd year ) . They work as interns every morning at the hospital plus a few night shifts a month and study in the afternoon . Each internship lasts between 3 and 4 months and takes place in a different department . Med students get 5 weeks off a year . At the end of sixth year , they need to pass a national ranking exam , which will determine their specialty . Indeed , the first student gets to choose first , then the second , etcetera . Usually students work pretty hard during 5th and 6th years in order to train properly for the national ranking exam . During these years , actual practice at the hospital and some theoretical courses are meant to balance the training . Such externs ' average wage stands between 100 and 300 euros a month . After that ranking exams , students can start as residents in the specialty they have been able to pick . That is the point from which they also start getting paid . Towards the end of the medical program , French medical students are provided with more responsibilities and are required to defend a thesis . At the conclusion of the thesis defense , French medical students receive a State Diploma of Doctor of Medicine ( MD ) or `` Diplôme d'Etat de Doctorat en Medecine for general medicine . For those who are in speciality training will also receive a Diploma of Specialized Studies ( DES = Diplôme d'Etudes Specialisees ) to mark their specialties . Some students may also receive a Diploma of Specialized Complementary Studies ( DESC ) = Diplôme d'Etudes Specialisees Complementaires . Germany ( edit ) See also : List of medical schools in Germany The University of Freiburg Faculty of Medicine In Germany , admission to medical schools is currently administered jointly by the Stiftung für Hochschulzulassung ( SfH ) , a centralized federal organization , and the universities themselves . The most important criterion for admission is the Numerus clausus , the final GPA scored by the applicant on the Abitur ( highest secondary school diploma ) . However , in light of the recent gain in influence of medical schools in regards to applicant selection , additional criteria are being used to select students for admission . These criteria vary among medical faculties and the final Abitur GPA is always a core indicator and strongly influences admission . Admission remains highly competitive . A very small number of slots per semester are reserved for selected applicants which already hold a university degree ( Zweitstudium ) and for medical officer candidates ( Sanitätsoffizieranwärter ) . The first two years of medical school consist of the so - called pre-clinical classes . During this time , the students are instructed in the basic sciences ( e.g. physics , chemistry , biology , anatomy , physiology , biochemistry , etc . ) and must pass a federal medical exam ( Erster Abschnitt der ärztlichen Prüfung ) , administered nationally . Upon completion , the students advance to the clinical stage , where they receive three years of training and education in the clinical subjects ( e.g. , internal medicine , surgery , obstetrics and gynecology , pediatrics , pharmacology , pathology , etc . ) . After these three years , they have to pass the second federal medical exam ( Zweiter Abschnitt der ärztlichen Prüfung ) before continuing with the sixth and final year . The last year of medical school consists of the so - called `` practical year '' ( Praktisches Jahr , PJ ) . Students are required to spend three four - month clerkships , two of them in a hospital ( internal medicine and surgery ) as well as one elective , which can be one of the other clinical subjects ( e.g. family medicine , anesthesiology , neurology , pediatrics , radiology etc . ) . After at least six years of medical school , the students graduate with a final federal medical exam ( Dritter Abschnitt der ärztlichen Prüfung ) . Graduates receive the license to practice medicine or dentistry and the professional title of physician ( Arzt ) or dentist ( Zahnarzt ) . The academic degrees Doctor of Medicine ( Dr. med . ) and Doctor of dental Medicine ( Dr. med . dent . ) are awarded if the graduate has , in addition , successfully completed a scientific study and dissertation . It is a doctoral degree and therefore different from the MD or DDS degrees in the U.S. , which as professional degrees are awarded after passing the final exams and do not require additional scientific work . Many medical students opt to perform their thesis during their studies at medical school , but only a fraction of them is able to finish the dissertation - process during their studies . The requirements for getting a Dr. med. degree across the board are not as hard as for the doctor in natural science ( Dr. rer . nat . ) . Therefore , many critics advocate to adopt a system similar to that of the Anglo - Saxon countries with an MD as a professional degree and a PhD showing additional scientific qualification . If physicians wish to open up a doctor 's office , they are required to further complete residency in order to fulfill the federal requirements of becoming Facharzt ( specialized in a certain field of medicine like internal medicine , surgery , pediatrics etc . ) . Oral and maxillofacial surgeons must complete both studies , medicine and dentistry , then afterwards specializing another 5 years . There are 36 medical faculties in Germany . Greece ( edit ) There are seven medical schools in Greece . The most prominent one of them is the University of Athens Medical School . The rest of them are in Patras , Thessaloniki , Ioannina , Larissa , Heraklion , and Alexandroupoli . The duration of the studies in Greece is 6 years . Hungary ( edit ) Hungary has four medical schools , in Budapest , Debrecen , Pécs and Szeged . Medical school takes six years to complete , of which the last year is a practical year . Students receive the degree dr . med . univ. or dr . for short , equivalent to the M.D. degree upon graduation . All Hungarian medical schools have programs fully taught in English . Iceland ( edit ) In Iceland , admission to medical school requires passing an organized test , controlled by the University of Iceland , which anyone with a gymnasium degree can take . Only the top 48 scores on the exam are granted admission each year . Medical school in Iceland takes 6 years to complete . Students receive a cand. med. degree upon graduation . Following this , Icelandic regulations require 12 months of clinical internship before granting a full medical license . This internship consists of internal medicine ( 4 months ) , surgery ( 2 months ) , family medicine ( 3 months ) and a three - month elective period . Upon receiving a license to practice , a physician can start specialist training , in Iceland or abroad . Ireland ( edit ) See also : List of medical schools in Ireland There are six medical schools in Ireland . They are at Trinity College Dublin , the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland , University College Dublin , University College Cork , University of Limerick and the National University of Ireland , Galway ( the National University of Ireland is the degree - awarding institution for all except the University of Limerick and Trinity College ) . Training lasts four , five or six years , with the last two years in the affiliated teaching hospitals ( UCD - St. Vincents University Hospital , Mater Misericordiae University Hospital ) ( Trinity - St. James 's Hospital , Adelaide and Meath Hospital incorporating the National Children 's Hospital ) ( UCC - Cork University Hospital ) ( RCSI - Beaumont Hospital , Connolly Hospital , Waterford Regional Hospital ) . For Programmes that are six years in length , entry is based on secondary school qualifications . Programmes that are four years in length require previous university degrees . The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and the University of Limerick were the first medical institutions to offer Graduate Entry Medicine of four years in duration in the Ireland . This is now also offered in University College Dublin and University College Cork . The National University of Ireland , Galway also launched a graduate entry programme in 2010 . Medical education is regulated by the Irish Medical Council , the statutory body that is also responsible for maintaining a register of medical practitioners . After graduation with the degrees of BM BS ( Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery ) or MB BCh BAO ( Medicinae Baccalaureus , Baccalaureus in Chirurgia , Baccalaureus in Arte Obstetricia ) , a doctor is required to spend one year as an intern under supervision before full registration is permitted . Graduates of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland also receive the traditional `` Licenciate of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons and Physicians in Ireland '' ( LRCP&SI ) , which was awarded before the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland became an Affiliate of the National University of Ireland and thus was allowed grant degrees , under the Medical Practitioners Act ( 1978 ) . Italy ( edit ) In Italy , the contents of the medical school admission test is decided each year by the Ministry of Education , Universities and Research ( MIUR ) and consists of eighty questions divided in five categories : logics and `` general education '' ( `` cultura generale '' ) , mathematics , physics , chemistry , and biology . Results are expressed in a national ranking . As a general rule , all state - run medical schools in the country administer it on the same day , whereas all privately run medical schools administer it on another day , so that a candidate may take the test once for state - run schools and once for a private school of his or her choice , but no more . Some universities in Italy provide an international degree course in medicine taught entirely in English for both Italian and non-Italian students . A number of these medical schools are at public universities , and have relatively low tuition fees compared to the English - speaking world , because the cost of the medical education is subsidized by the state for both Italian and non-Italian students . These public medical schools include the International Medical School at the University of Milan , the University of Pavia , Rome `` La Sapienza '' , Rome `` Tor Vergata '' , Naples Federico II , the Second University of Naples , and the University of Bari . These universities require applicants to rank highly on the International Medical Admissions Test . Italy also has private or parochial , more expensive English - language medical schools such as Vita - Salute San Raffaele University and Humanitas University in Milan , and at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore Rome campus . Medicine is one of the university faculties implementing numerus clausus ( `` numero chiuso '' ) : the overall number of medical students admitted every year is constant , as each medical school is assigned a maximum number of new admission per year by MIUR . Medical school lasts 6 years ( 12 semesters ) . Traditionally , the first three years are devoted to `` biological '' subjects ( physics , chemistry , biology , biochemistry , genetics , anatomy , physiology , immunology , pathophysiology , microbiology , and usually English language courses ) , whereas the later three years are devoted to `` clinical '' subjects . However , most schools are increasingly devoting the second semester of the third year to clinical subjects and earlier patient contact . In most schools , there are about 36 exams over the 6 - year cycle , as well as a number of compulsory rotations and elective activities . At the end of the cycle , students have to discuss a final thesis before a board of professors ; the subject of this thesis may be a review of academic literature or an experimental work , and usually takes more than a year to complete , with most students beginning an internato ( internship ) in the subject of their choice in their fifth or sixth year . The title awarded at the end of the discussion ceremony is that of `` Dottore Magistrale '' , styled in English as a Doctor of Medicine , which in accordance with the Bologna process is comparable with a master 's degree qualification or a US MD . After graduating , new doctors must complete a three - month , unpaid , supervised tirocinio post-lauream ( `` post-degree placement '' ) consisting of two months in their university hospital ( one month in a medical service and one in a surgical service ) as well as one month shadowing a general practitioner . After getting a statement of successful completion of each month from their supervisors , new doctors take the esame di stato ( `` state exame '' ) to obtain full license to practise medicine . They will then have to register with one of the branches of the Ordine dei Medici ( `` Order of Physicians '' ) , which are based in each of the Provinces of Italy . Registration makes new doctors legally able to practice medicine without supervision . They will then have to choose between various career paths , each usually requiring a specific admission exam : most either choose to train as general practitioner ( a 3 - year course run by each Region , including both general practice and rotation at non-university hospitals ) , or to enter a Scuola di Specializzazione ( `` specialty school '' ) at a university hospital 4 - year or 5 - year course . Lithuania ( edit ) Lithuania has two medical schools , in Kaunas - LSMU http://lsmuni.lt/ and Vilnius . Studies are of six years , of which the last year is a practical year . All Lithuanian medical schools have ams in English . Since 1990 , LSMU has been the Alma Mater of many international students and 550 full - time foreign students from 42 countries ( mainly Israel , Germany , Finland , Norway , Spain , Sweden , Lebanon , Poland , India , South Korea , Ireland and the United Kingdom ) are currently enrolled here . The Lithuanian University of Health Sciences ( LSMU ) is the largest university - type school in Lithuania preparing the health specialists . It unites the Veterinary Academy and the Medical Academy . LSMU traditions of studies and scientific work go back to the times of the Faculty of Medicine at Vytautas Magnus Universitythat was later turned into Kaunas Institute of Medicine . LSMU collaborates with more than 140 European , American and Asian universities for study and research purposes . The university is a member of numerous international organizations , such as the European University Association ( EUA ) , Association of Schools of Public Health in The European Region ( ASPHER ) , Association of Medical Schools in Europe ( AMSE ) , Association for Medical Education in Europe ( AMEE ) , Organisation for PhD Education in Biomedicine and Health Sciences in the European System ( ORPHEUS ) , European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education ( EAEVE ) , World Veterinary Association , and more . LSMU is also a member of the World Health Organization ( WHO ) , where it fulfils the role of a collaboration centre for research and training in epidemiology , as well as for the prevention of cardiovascular and other chronic non-communicable diseases . The study programmes at LSMU meet university education standards applied in EU countries . Netherlands and Belgium ( edit ) See also : List of medical schools in Netherlands and List of medical schools in Belgium In the Netherlands and Belgium , medical students receive 6 years of university education prior to their graduation . In the Netherlands , students used to receive four years of preclinical training , followed by two years of clinical training ( co-assistentschappen , or co-schappen for short ) in hospitals . However , for a number of medical schools this has recently changed to three years of preclinical training , followed by three years of clinical training . At least one medical faculty , that of the Utrecht University , clinical training already begins in the third year of medical school . After 6 years , students graduate as basisartsen ( comparable to Doctors of Medicine ) . As a result of the Bologna process , medical students in the Netherlands now receive a bachelor 's degree after three years in medical school and a master 's degree upon graduation . Prospective students can apply for medical education directly after finishing the highest level of secondary school , vwo ; previous undergraduate education is not a precondition for admittance . The Belgian medical education is much more based on theoretical knowledge than the Dutch system . In the first 3 years , which are very theoretical and lead to a university bachelor degree , general scientific courses are taken such as chemistry , biophysics , physiology , biostatistics , anatomy , virology , etc . To enter the bachelor course in Flanders , prospective students have to pass an exam , as a result of the numerus clausus . In the French - speaking part of Belgium , only the best students that pass the first year of the bachelor course in medicine are admitted to the second and third year . After the bachelor courses , students are allowed to enter the ' master in medicine ' courses , which consist of 4 years of theoretical and clinical study . In general , the first 2 master years are very theoretical and teach the students in human pathology , diseases , pharmacology . The third year is a year full of internships in a wide range of specialities in different clinics . The seventh , final year serves as a kind of ' pre-specialization ' year in which the students are specifically trained in the specialty they wish to pursue after medical school . This contrasts with the Dutch approach , in which graduates are literally ' basic doctors ' ( basisartsen ) who have yet to decide on a specialty . Norway ( edit ) See also : List of medical schools in Norway Medical education in Norway begins with a six - to six - and - a-half - year undergraduate university program . Admission requires a very high GPA from secondary school - medicine consistently ranks as the most difficult university programme to be admitted to in Norway . Furthermore , certain high school subjects are required for admission ( chemistry , mathematics and physics ) . Upon completion , students are awarded a candidatus / candidata medicinae ( cand . med . ) degree ( corresponding to e.g. and MD in the USA ) and medical license . Those completing a research programme ( Forskerlinje ) get this added to their degree . Following this , it is required a minimum of 18 months of internship ( turnustjeneste ) before applying on a specialist training in Norway . The internship consist of 6 months of internal medicine , 6 months of surgery and 6 months family medicine . There are currently 43 recognized medical specialties in Norway . Poland ( edit ) See also : Category : Medical schools in Poland . Portugal ( edit ) Universidade do Minho , Braga Universidade do Algarve , Faro Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Coimbra , Coimbra Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde , Covilhã Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Lisboa , Lisboa Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa , Lisboa Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade do Porto , Porto Abel Salazar Biomedical Sciences Institute , Porto Romania ( edit ) See also : List of medical schools in Romania In Romania , medical school is a department of a medical university , which typically includes Dentistry and Pharmacy departments as well . The name facultate is used for departments in their universities too , but the Medicine departments distinguish themselves by the length of studies ( 6 years ) , which grants to graduates a status equivalent to that of a Master in Science . The Medicine departments are also marked by reduced flexibility - in theory , a student in a regular university can take courses from different departments , like Chemistry and Geography ( although it usually does not happen , majors being clearly defined ) , while the medical universities do not have any extra offers for their students , due to their specialization . Admission to medical faculty is usually awarded by passing a Human Biology , Organic Chemistry and / or Physics test . The program lasts 6 years , with first 2 years being preclinical and last 4 years being mostly clinical . After these six years , one has to take the national licence exam ( which consists of mostly clinically oriented questions , but some questions also deal with basic sciences ) and has to write a thesis in any field he / she studied . Final award is Doctor - Medic ( titlu onorific ) ( shortened Dr . ) , which is not an academic degree ( similar to Germany ) . All graduates have to go through residency and specialization exams after that in order to practice , although older graduates had different requirements and training ( e.g. , clinical rotations similar to sub-internship ) and might still be able to practice Family Medicine / General Medicine . Russia ( edit ) See also : List_of_medical_schools_in_Europe § Russia Medical schools in Russia offer a 6 - year curriculum leading to award Doctor of Medicine ( MD ) `` Physician '' . Russian medical authorities reluctantly agrees with inclusion in list of international medical schools FAIMER - IMED . FAIMER ca n't include medical schools without cooperation from Russia . For example , Orel State University Medical Institute is n't included in this list . Sweden ( edit ) See also : List of medical schools in Sweden Medical education in Sweden begins with a five - and - a-half - year undergraduate university program leading to the degree `` Master of Science in Medicine '' ( Swedish : Läkarexamen ) . Following this , the National Board of Health and Welfare requires a minimum of 18 months of clinical internship ( Swedish : Allmäntjänstgöring ) before granting a medical license to be fully qualified as Medical Doctor ( MD ) . This internship consists of surgery ( 3 -- 6 months ) , internal medicine ( 3 -- 6 months ) , psychiatry ( three months ) and family medicine ( six months ) . Upon receiving a license to practice , a physician is able to apply for a post to start specialist training . There are currently 52 recognized medical specialties in Sweden . The specialist training has a duration of minimum five years , which upon completion grants formal qualification as a specialist . Switzerland ( edit ) See also : Healthcare in Switzerland There are five universities granting medical degrees in Switzerland ( plus the University of Fribourg and the ETH Zurich that provide the bachelor but not the master in medicine ) and five university hospitals : Faculty of Medicine of the University of Basel ( see also University Hospital of Basel ) Faculty of Medicine of the University of Bern ( see also University Hospital of Bern ) Faculty of Medicine of the University of Geneva ( see also University Hospital of Geneva ) Faculty of Biology and Medicine of the University of Lausanne ( see also University Hospital of Lausanne ) Faculty of Medicine of the University of Zürich ( see also University Hospital of Zürich ) Faculty of Health Sciences and Technology of the ETH Zurich Turkey ( edit ) All high school graduates who wish to pursue further education are required to take an MCQ exam . The exam covers most of the high school and secondary school curricula . A student who scores high enough gets a place in a faculty of his / her desire . Entrance to medical schools is extremely competitive , only very top scoring students are accepted to medical schools . Medical education takes six years , first three years being Pre-clinical years and the latter three being Clinical years . Right after graduation , graduates can either work as GPs or take another exam called TUS ( Medical Specialization Examination ) to do residency in a particular department of a particular hospital . Most of the medical schools in Turkey are state schools but the number of private schools is on the rise . MCQ exam ( YGS and LYS ) scores required to be accepted to private medical schools are lower compared to their public counterparts . The language of instruction is , in general , Turkish , but few universities also offer schools with English as the language of instruction . This makes Turkey a popular place to study medicine for students from nearby areas like the Balkans , the Middle East , and to a lesser extent North Africa . Ukraine ( edit ) Medical degrees in Ukraine were offered only in institutions called medical universities , which are separate from traditional universities . However , some medical schools are now associated with classical universities . These include : Ternopil State Medical University Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University Kharkiv National Medical University Dnipropetrovsk State Medical Academy Ivano - Frankivsk National Medical University Bukovinian State Medical University Zaporizhia State Medical University Ukrainian Medical Stomatological Academy Donetsk National Medical University Bogomolets National Medical University Of Ukraine Crimea State Medical University Luhansk State Medical University Odessa National Medical University National Pirogov Memorial Medical University School of Medicine of VN Karazin Kharkiv National University Medical Faculty of Sumy State University Medical Faculty of Uzhgorod University Medical Faculty of Dnipropetrovsk National University Kyiv Medical Institute of non traditional Medicine United Kingdom ( edit ) Main article : Medical school in the United Kingdom See also : List of medical schools in the United Kingdom Shepherd 's House , King 's College London School of Medicine and Dentistry at Guy 's Campus in London Due to the UK code for higher education , first degrees in medicine comprise an integrated programme of study and professional practice spanning several levels . While the final outcomes of the qualifications themselves typically meet the Expectations of the descriptor for higher education qualification at level 7 ( the UK master 's degree ) . These degrees may retain , for historical reasons , `` Bachelor of Medicine , Bachelor of Surgery '' and are abbreviated to MBChB or MBBS . There are currently 32 institutions that offer medical degrees in the United Kingdom . Completion of a medical degree in the UK results in the award of the degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery . Admission requirements to the schools varies ; most insist on solid A-Levels / Highers , a good performance in an aptitude test such as the UKCAT , the BMAT or the GAMSAT , and usually an interview . As of 2008 the UK has approximately 8000 places for medical students . Methods of education range from courses that offer a problem - based learning approach ( alongside lectures etc . ) , and others having a more traditional pre-clinical / clinical structure . Others combine several approaches in an integrated approach . Following qualification , UK doctors enter a generalised two - year , competency - based `` foundation programme '' , gaining full GMC ( General Medical Council ) registration at the end of foundation year one , and applying for specialist training ( in medicine , surgery , general practice etc . ) after foundation year two . Many medical schools offer intercalated degree programmes to allow students to focus on an area of research outside their medical degree for a year . Some medical schools offer graduate entry programmes , which are four years long . The name refers to the fact that students on these courses already have a degree in another subject ( i.e. they are graduates ) . Due to the shorter length of the course , the timetable of these degrees are more intense and the holidays are shorter , compared to students on the 5 - year course . In terms of entrance requirements , the 4 - year degree restricts entry to those who already hold a first degree , and have previously worked in an area of healthcare . The first degree does n't necessarily have to be a BSc degree ( this is the criteria for some of the medical schools ) , whereas other medical schools specify that the prior degree has to be in a science subject . Competition for this course is fierce , with students having to also sit an entrance exam prior to being considered for an interview . Medical schools typically admit more students into undergraduate programmes than into graduate entry programmes . Medical career grades of the National Health Service Year Current ( Modernising Medical Careers ) Previous Foundation doctor ( FY1 and FY2 ) , 2 years Pre-registration house officer ( PRHO ) , 1 year Senior house officer ( SHO ) , minimum 2 years ; often more Specialty registrar , general practice ( GPST ) , 3 years Specialty registrar , hospital speciality ( SpR ) , minimum 6 years Specialist registrar , 4 -- 6 years GP registrar , 1 year 5 General practitioner , 4 years total time in training 6 -- 8 General practitioner , 5 years total time in training 9 Consultant , minimum 8 years total time in training Consultant , minimum 7 -- 9 years total time in training Optional Training is competency based , times shown are a minimum . Training may be extended by obtaining an Academic Clinical Fellowship for research or by dual certification in another speciality . Training may be extended by pursuing medical research ( usually 2 -- 3 years ) , usually with clinical duties as well Medical students ( edit ) A medical student checking blood pressure on an awareness drive A person accepted into a medical school and enrolled in an educational program in medicine , with the goal of becoming a medical doctor , is referred to as a medical student . Medical students are generally considered to be at the earliest stage of the medical career pathway . In some locations they are required to be registered with a government body . Medical students typically engage in both basic science and practical clinical coursework during their tenure in medical school . Course structure and length vary greatly among countries ( see above ) . Bullying ( edit ) Main article : Bullying in medicine Medical students , perhaps being vulnerable because of their relatively low status in health care settings , commonly experience verbal abuse , humiliation and harassment ( nonsexual or sexual ) . Discrimination based on gender and race is less common . Burnout and depression ( edit ) See also : Stress in medical students A meta - analysis in the American journal JAMA suggested depressive symptoms in 24 % to 29 % of all medical students and 25 % to 33 % of all resident physicians . Burnout in medical students , in addition , seems to be associated with increased likelihood of subsequent suicidal ideation . It has been estimated by a US study that approximately 14 % of medical students have symptoms of moderate to severe depression , and roughly 5 % have suicidal thoughts at some point during training . Internationally depression as well as distress in medical school is widely studied and gained more attention over the years . A recent study among German medical students at international universities displayed the significantly higher risk of depression symptoms being 2.4 times higher than the average population . 23.5 % of these German medical students showed clinically relevant depressive symptoms . In a South Korean study , 40 % of medical students appeared to have depression . Medical students with more severe depression also may be less likely to seek treatment , largely from fear that faculty members would view them as being unable to handle their responsibilities . Students who feel that they lack a social support system are 10 times more likely to be depressed compared with students that consider themselves to have good social support . Approximately 10 % experience suicidal ideation during medical school . Lemon and Stone hypothesised in what has become termed the ' Lemon Stone Hypothesis ' , that medical students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds increase in prevalence during times of national economic adversity . Their hypothesis was a formulation of Becker Maimans ' health belief model and Adaption theory . This hypothesis has to some extent been supported by a series of surveys .

Due to the limited intake a large number of students go abroad to study medicine , these include commonwealth countries , as well as in recent years Bangladesh , Russia and China . However private medical schools are in the process of being established at present with the South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine ( SAITM ) . Establishment of private medical schools have been opposed by the section of medical practitioners together with extremist student groups who does not willing to widening the access to medical education for the reasons best known to them . The total university undergraduate population in Sri Lanka is less than 27,000 , of which few hundred students are admitted to the local medical faculties , annually . Thousands who qualifies for higher education have no other option , but to go abroad for higher studies , including for medicine . Annually Sri Lankan parents are spending over 1bn USD to provide education to their children overseas . A well established system to regulate both private and public universities including the medical faculties is required to ensure the quality and relevance of the higher education system and thereby to enable both the public and private institutions to compete for excellence , as in the case of many other countries . This would be `` the option '' available for the authorities to consider , if Sri Lanka is aspiring to become a regional hub for education and a knowledge exporting country . The Higher Education Minister and the University Grants Commission ( UGC ) were criticized by the Government Medical Officers ' Association ( GMOA ) for offering degree awarding status to the South Asian Institute of Technology ( SAITM ) , while turning blind eye to three other medical degree awarding institutions , recently established by the state ; i.e. Rajarata , Eastern and the Defense university ( Fee levying ) , whose quality and standers are certainly not above or in par with to that of SITAM . The dabble standards adopted by the relevant authorities are detrimental to the founding principles of the free education of this country to provide equal access to education to all . It should be noted the fact that `` education is not a privilege of a few , but a right of all '' who want to have access to education at all levels .

For the 1990 film , see Lord of the Flies ( 1990 film ) . For other uses , see Lord of the Flies ( disambiguation ) . Lord of the Flies Theatrical Release Poster Directed by Peter Brook Produced by Lewis M. Allen Written by Peter Brook Based on Lord of the Flies by William Golding Starring James Aubrey Tom Chapin Hugh Edwards Tom Gaman Music by Raymond Leppard Cinematography Tom Hollyman Edited by Peter Brook Gerald Feil Jean - Claude Lubtchansky Distributed by British Lion ( UK ) Continental Distributing ( US ) Release date May 1963 ( 1963 - 05 ) ( Cannes ) 13 August 1963 ( 1963 - 08 - 13 ) ( United States ) Running time 92 minutes Country United Kingdom Language English Budget $250,000 or £ 80,000 Lord of the Flies is a 1963 British film adaptation of William Golding 's novel of the same name about 30 schoolboys who are marooned on an island where they become savages . It was directed by Peter Brook and produced by Lewis M. Allen . The film was in production for much of 1961 , though the film was not released until 1963 . Golding himself supported the film . When Kenneth Tynan was a script editor for Ealing Studios he commissioned a script of Lord of the Flies from Nigel Kneale , but Ealing Studios closed in 1959 before it could be produced . The novel was adapted into a movie for a second time in 1990 . The 1963 film is generally more faithful to the novel than the 1990 adaptation . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Theme 4 Production 4.1 Filming 5 Song 6 Reception 6.1 Critical response 6.2 Accolades 7 Home media 8 References 9 External links Plot ( edit ) A group of British schoolboys , living in the midst of a war , are evacuated from England . Their airliner is shot down by briefly - glimpsed fighter planes and ditches near a remote island . The main character , Ralph , is seen walking through a tropical forest . He meets an intelligent and chubby boy , who reveals his school nickname was Piggy , but asks that Ralph not repeat that . The two go to the beach where they find a conch shell , which Ralph blows to rally the other survivors . As they emerge from the jungle , it becomes clear that no adults have escaped the crash . Singing is then heard and a small column of school choir boys , wearing dark cloaks and hats and led by a boy named Jack Merridew , walk toward their direction . The boys decide to appoint a chief . The vote goes to Ralph , not Jack . Initially , Ralph is able to steer the children ( all of whom are aged between about six and fourteen ) towards a reasonably civilized and co-operative society . Only the boy holding the conch is allowed to speak in turns during meetings or `` assemblies '' . The choir boys make wooden spears , creating the appearance that they are warriors within the group . Crucially , Jack has a knife , capable of killing an animal . The boys build shelters and start a signal fire using Piggy 's glasses . With no rescue in sight , the increasingly authoritarian and violence - prone Jack starts hunting and eventually finds a pig . Meanwhile , the fire , for which he and his `` hunters '' are responsible , goes out , losing their chance of being spotted from a passing airplane . Piggy chastises Jack , and Jack strikes him in retaliation , knocking his glasses off , and breaking one lens . Ralph is furious with Jack . Soon some of the children begin to talk of a beast that comes from the water . Jack , obsessed with this imagined threat , leaves the group to start a new tribe , one without rules , where the boys play and hunt all day . Soon , more follow until only a few , including Piggy , are left with Ralph . Events reach a crisis when a boy named Simon finds a sow 's head impaled on a stick , left by Jack as an offering to the Beast . He becomes hypnotized by the head , which has flies swarming all around it . Simon goes to what he believes to be the nest of the Beast and finds a dead pilot under a hanging parachute . Simon runs to Jack 's camp to tell them the truth , only to be killed in the darkness by the frenzied children who mistake him for the Beast . Piggy defends the group 's actions with a series of rationalizations and denials . The hunters raid the old group 's camp and steal Piggy 's glasses . Ralph goes to talk to the new group using the still - present power of the conch to get their attention . However , when Piggy takes the conch , they are not silent ( as their rules require ) but instead jeer . Roger , the cruel torturer and executioner of the tribe , pushes a boulder off a cliff and kills Piggy . Ralph hides in the jungle . Jack and his hunters set fires to smoke him out , and Ralph staggers across the smoke - covered island . Stumbling onto the beach , Ralph falls at the feet of a naval officer who stares in shock at the painted and spear - carrying savages that the children have become , before turning to his accompanying landing party . One of the youngest boys tries to tell the officer his name , but can not remember it . The last scene shows Ralph sobbing as flames spread across the island . Cast ( edit ) James Aubrey as Ralph Tom Chapin as Jack Hugh Edwards as Piggy Roger Elwin as Roger Tom Gaman as Simon David Surtees as Sam Simon Surtees as Eric Nicholas Hammond as Robert Roger Allan as Piers Kent Fletcher as Percival Richard Horne as Lance Timothy Horne as Leslie Andrew Horne as Matthew Peter Davy as Peter David Brujes as Donald Christopher Harris as Bill Alan Heaps as Neville Jonathan Heaps as Howard Burnes Hollyman as Douglas Peter Ksiezopolski as Francis Anthony Mcall - Judson as Maurice Malcolm Rodker as Harold David St. Clair as George Rene Sanfiorenzo Jr. as Charles Jeremy Scuse as Rowland John Stableford as Digby Nicholas Valkenburg as Rupert Patrick Valkenburg as Robin Edward Valencia as Frederick David Walsh as Percy John Walsh as Michael Jeremy Willis as Henry Erik Jordan as Head Clapper Boy Theme ( edit ) As with Golding 's book , the pessimistic theme of the film is that fear , hate and violence are inherent in the human condition -- even when innocent children are placed in seemingly idyllic isolation . The realisation of this is seen as being the cause of Ralph 's distress in the closing shots . Charles Silver , Curator in the Department of Film at MoMA , wrote that the film is `` about anarchy and how that thin veneer we wear of what we refer to as `` civilization '' is threatened by the attractive clarion call of bestiality and its accompanying hatred `` . Production ( edit ) Filming ( edit ) The parents of those chosen are reported to have been provided copies of the novel , from which a commentary had been physically removed ; those pages included describing the culmination of the hunt of a wild sow as an `` Œdipal wedding night '' . Brook noted that `` time was short ; we were lent the children by unexpectedly eager parents just for the duration of the summer holidays '' . The film was shot entirely in Puerto Rico at Aguadilla , El Yunque and on the island of Vieques . The boys in the cast were all non-professional , had mostly not read the book , and actual scripting was minimal ; scenes were filmed by explaining them to the boys , who then acted them out , with some of the dialogue improvised. . Life magazine journalist Robert Wallace visited them there and observed one of them amusing himself by feeding live lizards into the blades of a rotating fan . Wallace commented : `` One could almost hear William Golding , 4,000 miles away in England , chuckling into his beard . '' The 60 hours of film from the 1961 shoot was edited down to 4 hours , according to editor Gerald Feil . This was further edited down to a 100 - minute feature that was shown at the 1963 Cannes Film Festival ( 9 to 22 May ) , but the cuts necessitated that new audio transitions and some dialog changes be dubbed into the film more than a year after shooting . The voice of James Aubrey , who played Ralph , had dropped three octaves and was electronically manipulated to better approximate his earlier voice , but it is still significantly different . Tom Chapin , who played Jack , had lost his English accent and another boy 's voice was used to dub his parts . The U.S. distributor insisted the film be further edited to 90 minutes , so one fire scene and scenes developing the character Ralph were cut . The NYC premiere of the film was attended by some of the original cast members followed by a photo shoot in Times Square ( picture subsequently published in a Life Magazine article ) and a party at Sardi 's attended by others such as Zero Mostel . In 1996 , Peter Brook organised a reunion for the cast members for a documentary film called Time Flies . Brook was `` curious to know what the years had done to his cast , and what effect the isolated months of filming had had on their lives '' . Although none seemed damaged by their time working on the film , Simon Surtees , one of a pair of twin brothers who played Sam and Eric , `` put his finger unerringly on the ethical dilemma . The problem is that most of us are not trained artists , so I now believe Peter runs the risk of abandoning us to our fate , just as he did in 1961 , when he plucked us from our schools and our homes , put us on the island , then cast us back to live our lives as if nothing would ever change . '' Tom Gaman , who played Simon in Brook 's film , remembered that `` although I did n't think much about it at the time , in hindsight my death scene scares me . It was night , the spears -- those wooden stakes -- were quite real . We were excited , brandishing flaming sticks around a bonfire on the beach in a real storm . I really did emerge from the bushes into the center of a raging crowd , screamed in terror , was stabbed by boys with sharpened sticks , and staggered to the water '' . Song ( edit ) The song , heard throughout the film , of the boys singing is Kyrie Eleison which , translated from Greek , means `` Lord , have mercy '' . It is an expression used in a prayer of the Christian liturgy . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) The film received acclaim from critics . Based on 18 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an overall approval rating of 100 % from critics , with an average score of 8.3 / 10 . However , it has a mixed to positive score from the audience , with 63 % . PopMatters journalist J.C. Maçek III wrote `` The true surprise in Lord of the Flies is how little these child actors actually feel like ' child actors ' . With few exceptions , the acting rarely seems to be forced or flat . This practiced , well - honed craft aids Brook 's vision of a fly on the wall approach that pulls the viewer into each scene . '' Bosley Crowther wrote in The New York Times that `` the picture made from it by the writer - director Peter Brook is a curiously flat and fragmentary visualization of the original . It is loosely and jerkily constructed , in its first and middle phases , at least , and it has a strangely perfunctory , almost listless flow of narrative in most of its scenes '' . Accolades ( edit ) Peter Brook was nominated for the Golden Palm at the 1963 Cannes Film Festival . The film was named one of the Top Ten Films of the year in 1963 by the National Board of Review . Home media ( edit ) The Criterion Collection released it on DVD and Blu - ray Disc in America and Canada . Janus Films also released the DVD in the UK .

One Hundred and One Dalmatians

One Hundred and One Dalmatians - wikipedia One Hundred and One Dalmatians Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the 1961 animated film . For other uses , see 101 Dalmatians . One Hundred and One Dalmatians Original theatrical release poster Directed by Wolfgang Reitherman Hamilton Luske Clyde Geronimi Produced by Walt Disney Story by Bill Peet Based on The Hundred and One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith Starring Rod Taylor Cate Bauer Betty Lou Gerson Ben Wright Lisa Davis Martha Wentworth Music by George Bruns Edited by Roy M. Brewer , Jr . Donald Halliday Production company Walt Disney Productions Distributed by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution Release date January 25 , 1961 ( 1961 - 01 - 25 ) Running time 79 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $3.6 million Box office $215.8 million One Hundred and One Dalmatians , often abbreviated as 101 Dalmatians , is a 1961 American animated adventure film produced by Walt Disney and based on the 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith . The 17th Disney animated feature film , the film tells the story of a litter of dalmatian puppies who are kidnapped by the villainous Cruella de Vil ( Betty Lou Gerson ) , who wants to use their fur to make into coats . Their parents , Pongo and Perdita , ( Rod Taylor and Cate Bauer respectively ) set out to save their children from Cruella , all the while rescuing 84 additional puppies that were bought in pet shops , bringing the total of dalmatians to 101 . Originally released to theaters on January 25 , 1961 , by Buena Vista Distribution , One Hundred and One Dalmatians was a box office success , pulling the studio out of the financial slump caused by Sleeping Beauty , a costlier production released two years prior . Aside from its box office revenue , its commercial success was due to the employment of inexpensive animation techniques -- such as using xerography during the process of inking and painting traditional animation cels -- that kept production costs down . It was reissued to cinemas four times in 1969 , 1979 , 1985 and 1991 . The 1991 reissue was the twentieth highest earning film of the year for domestic earnings . It was remade into a live action film in 1996 .

That same night , they are visited by Cruella De Vil , a wealthy former schoolmate of Anita 's . She offers to buy the entire litter , but Roger says they are not for sale . A few weeks later , she hires her henchmen , Jasper and Horace , to steal them . When Scotland Yard is unable to find them , Pongo and Perdita use the `` Twilight bark '' , a canine gossip line , to ask for help from the other dogs in London . Colonel , an old sheepdog , along with his compatriots Captain , a gray horse , and Sergeant Tibbs , a tabby cat , find the puppies in a place called Hell Hall ( Cruella 's abandoned and dilapidated family estate , also known as The De Vil Place ) , along with many other dalmatian puppies that she had bought from various dog stores . When Tibbs learns they are going to be made into dog - skin fur coats , Colonel quickly sends word back to London . Upon receiving the message , Pongo and Perdita leave town to retrieve their puppies . Winter has come , and they have to cross the Stour River which is running fast and laden with slabs of broken ice . Meanwhile , Tibbs overhears Cruella ordering Jasper and Horace to kill the puppies that night out of fear the police will soon find them . In response , Tibbs attempts to rescue them while Jasper and Horace are preoccupied watching television , but they finish their show and come for them before he can get them out of the house . Pongo and Perdita break in and confront Jasper and Horace just as they are about to kill the puppies . While the adult dogs attack them , Colonel and Tibbs guide the puppies from the house . After a happy reunion with their own puppies , Pongo and Perdita realize there are dozens of others with them , 99 altogether including their own . Shocked at Cruella 's plans , they decide to adopt all of them , certain that Roger and Anita would never reject them . They begin making their way back to London through deep snow ; all open water is frozen solid . Other animals help them along the way . Cruella , Jasper , and Horace chase them . In one town , they cover themselves with soot so they appear to be labrador retrievers , then pile inside a moving van bound for London . As it is leaving , melting snow clears off the soot and Cruella sees them . In a rage , she follows the van in her car and rams it , but Jasper and Horace , who try to cut it off from above , end up crashing into her . Both vehicles are smashed to smithereens and fall into a deep ravine ; and battered , bruised and stranded , Cruella and her henchmen are defeated at last . Cruella yells in frustration as the van drives away but Jasper finally gets the courage to tell her to shut up . Back in London , Roger and Anita are attempting to celebrate Christmas and his first big hit , a song about Cruella , but they miss their canine friends . Suddenly , barking is heard outside and , after their nanny opens the door , the house is filled with dogs . After wiping away the rest of the soot , they are delighted to realize their companions have returned home . After counting 84 extra puppies , they decide to use the money from the song to buy a large house in the country so they can keep all 101 dalmatians .

When Walt Disney read it in 1957 , it immediately grabbed his attention , and he promptly acquired the rights . Smith had always secretly hoped that Disney would make it into a film . Disney assigned Bill Peet to write the story , which he did , marking the first time that the story for a Disney animated film was written by a single person . Writing in his autobiography , Peet was tasked by Disney to write a detailed screenplay first before storyboarding . Because Peet never learned to use a typewriter , he wrote the initial draft by hand on large yellow tablets . He condensed elements of the original book while enlarging others , some of which included eliminating Cruella 's husband and cat , as well compressing the two surrogate mother dogs into one character , Perdita . He also retained a scene in which Pongo and Perdita exchange wedding vows in unison with their owners , by which the censor board warned that it might offend certain religious audiences if the animals repeated the exact words of a solemn religious ceremony . The scene was reworked to be less religious with Roger and Anita dressed in formal clothes . Two months later , Peet completed the manuscript and had it typed it , in which Walt said the script was `` great stuff '' and commissioned him to begin storyboarding . Additionally , Peet was charged with the recording of the voice - over process . Although Disney had not been as involved in the production of the animated films as frequently as in previous years , nevertheless he was always present at story meetings . When Peet sent Dodie Smith some drawings of the characters , she wrote back saying that he had actually improved her story and that the designs looked better than the illustrations in the book . Animation Art direction After Sleeping Beauty ( 1959 ) disappointed at the box - office , there was some talk of closing down the animation department at the Disney studio . During the production of it , Disney told animator Eric Larson : `` I do n't think we can continue , it 's too expensive '' . Despite this , he still had deep feelings towards animation because he had built the company upon it . Ub Iwerks , in charge of special processes at the studio , had been experimenting with Xerox photography to aid in animation . By 1959 , he had modified a Xerox camera to transfer drawings by animators directly to animation cels , eliminating the inking process , thus saving time and money while preserving the spontaneity of the penciled elements . However , because of its limitations , the camera was unable to deviate from a black scratchy outline and lacked the fine lavish quality of hand inking . Disney would first use the Xerox process for a thorn forest in Sleeping Beauty , and the first production to make full use of the process was Goliath II . For One Hundred and One Dalmatians , one of the benefits of the process was that it was a great help towards animating the spotted dogs . According to Chuck Jones , Disney was able to complete the film for about half of what it would have cost if they had had to animate all the dogs and spots . Ken Anderson proposed the use of the Xerox on Dalmatians to Walt , whom by then disenchanted with animation , replied `` Ah , yeah , yeah , you can fool around all you want to . '' For the stylized art direction , Anderson took inspiration from British cartoonist Ronald Searle , whom once advised him to use a Mont Blanc pen and Indian ink for his artwork . In addition to the character animation , Anderson also sought to use Xerography on `` the background painting because I was going to apply the same technique to the whole picture . '' Along with color stylist Walt Peregoy , the two had the line drawings be printed on a separate animation cel before being laid over the background , which gave the appearance similar to the Xeroxed animation . Disney disliked the artistic look of the film and felt he was losing the `` fantasy '' element of his animated films . In a meeting with Anderson and the animation staff concerning future films , Walt said , `` We 're never gon na have one of those goddamned things '' referring to Dalmatians and its technique , and stated , `` Ken 's never going to be an art director again . '' Ken Anderson took this to heart , but Walt eventually forgave him on his final trip to the studio in late 1966 . As Anderson recalled in an interview : He looked very sick , I said `` Gee it 's great to see you Walt '' , and he said `` You know that thing you did on Dalmatians '' . He did n't say anything else , but he just gave me this look and I knew that all was forgiven and in his opinion maybe what I did on Dalmatians was n't so bad . That was the last time I ever saw him . Then , a few weeks later , I learned he was gone . Live - action reference As with the previous Disney films , actors provided live - action reference in order to determine what would work before the animation process begun . Actress Helene Stanley performed the live - action reference for the character of Anita . She did the same work for the characters of Cinderella and Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty . Meanwhile , Mary Wickes provided the live - action reference for Cruella de Vil . Character animation Marc Davis was the sole animator on Cruella De Vil . During production , Davis claimed her character was partly inspired by Bette Davis ( no relation ) , Rosalind Russell , and Tallulah Bankhead . He took further influence from her voice actress , Betty Lou Gerson , with whom he added her cheekbones to the character . He later complimented `` ( t ) hat ( her ) voice was the greatest thing I 've ever had a chance to work with . A voice like Betty Lou 's gives you something to do . You get a performance going there , and if you do n't take advantage of it , you 're off your rocker . '' While her hair coloring originated from the illustrations in the novel , Davis found its disheveled style by looking `` through old magazines for hairdos from 1940 till now . '' Her coat was exaggerated to match her over-sized personality , and the lining was red because `` there 's a devil image involved . '' Casting Before starring in high - profile roles such as The Birds and The Time Machine , Australian actor Rod Taylor had extensive radio experience , and was cast as Pongo . The filmmakers deliberately cast dogs with deeper voices than their human owners so they had more power . Walt Disney originally had Lisa Davis read for the role of Cruella De Vil , but she did not think that she was right for the part , and wanted to try reading the role of Anita . Disney agreed with her after the two of them read the script for a second time . Betty Lou Gerson , who was previously the narrator for Cinderella , auditioned for the role of Cruella De Vil in front of Marc Davis and sequence director Wolfgang Reitherman , and landed it . While searching for the right accent of the character , Gerson landed on a `` phony theatrical voice , someone who 's set sail from New York but has n't quite reached England . '' During the recording process , she was thought to be imitating Talluhah Bankhead . However , Gerson disputed , `` Well , I did n't intentionally imitate her ... I was raised in Birmingham , Ala. , and Tallulah was from Jasper , Ala . We both had phony English accents on top of our Southern accents and a great deal of flair . So our voices came out that way . '' In addition to voicing Mrs. Birdwell , Gerson finished recording in fourteen days . Music Unlike many Disney animated features , the film features only three songs , with just one , `` Cruella De Vil '' , playing a big part in it . The other two are `` Kanine Krunchies Jingle '' ( sung by Lucille Bliss , who voiced Anastasia Tremaine in Disney 's 1950 film Cinderella ) , and `` Dalmatian Plantation '' in which only two lines are sung by Roger at its closure . Songwriter Mel Leven had , in fact , written several additional songs for it including `` Do n't Buy a Parrot from a Sailor '' , a cockney chant , meant to be sung by Jasper and Horace at the De Vil Mansion , and `` March of the One Hundred and One '' , which the dogs were meant to sing after escaping Cruella by van . Different , longer versions of `` Kanine Krunchies Jingle '' and `` Dalmatian Plantation '' appear on the Disneyland Records read - along album based on the film . Release One Hundred and One Dalmatians was first released in theaters on January 25 , 1961 . The film was re-released theatrically in 1969 , 1979 , 1985 , and 1991 . Home video Τhe film was released on VHS on April 10 , 1992 , as part of the Walt Disney Classics video series . By June 1992 , it had sold 11.1 million copies .

Due to technical issues , it was never released on Laserdisc and was delayed numerous times before its release on DVD . The film was re-released on VHS , and for the first time on DVD , on December 1999 , as a Walt Disney Limited Issue for a limited sixty - day time period before going into moratorium . A two - disc Platinum Edition DVD was released on March 4 , 2008 . It was released on Blu - ray Disc in the United Kingdom on September 3 , 2012 . A Blu - ray Diamond Edition of it was released in North America on February 10 , 2015 . Reception Box Office On its initial release , the film grossed $6.2 million in domestic rentals .

The film was re-released in 1969 , where it earned $15 million . In its 1979 theatrical re-release , it grossed $19 million , and in 1985 , the film grossed $32 million .

Adjusted for inflation , and incorporating subsequent releases , the film has a lifetime gross of $888,264,400 . Critical reaction In its initial release , the film received critical acclaim from critics , many of whom hailed it as the studio 's best release since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and the closest to a real `` Disney '' film in many years . Howard Thompson of The New York Times wrote , `` While the story moves steadily toward a stark , melodramatic `` chase '' climax , it remains enclosed in a typical Disney frame of warm family love , human and canine . '' However , he later opined that the `` ( s ) ongs are scarce , too . A few more would have braced the final starkness . '' Variety claimed that `` While not as indelibly enchanting or inspired as some of the studio 's most unforgettable animated endeavors , this is nonetheless a painstaking creative effort . '' Time praised the film as `` the wittiest , most charming , least pretentious cartoon feature Walt Disney has ever made . '' Contemporary reviews have remained positive . Reviewing the film during its 1991 re-release , Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times , while giving the film three stars out of four , asserted that `` it 's an uneven film , with moments of inspiration in a fairly conventional tale of kidnapping and rescue . This is not one of the great Disney classics - it 's not in the same league with Snow White or Pinocchio - but it 's passable fun , and will entertain its target family audiences . '' Chicago Tribune film critic Gene Siskel , in his 1991 review , also gave the film three stars out of four . Ralph Novak of People wrote `` What it lacks in romantic extravagance and plush spectacle , this 1961 Disney film makes up for in quiet charm and subtlety . In fact , if any movie with dogs , cats and horses who talk can be said to belong in the realm of realistic drama , this is it . '' In 2011 , Craig Berman of MSNBC ranked it and its 1996 remake as two of the worst children 's films of all time saying , `` The plot itself is a bit nutty . Making a coat out of dogs ? Who does that ? But worse than Cruella de Vil 's fashion sense is the fact that your children will definitely start asking for a dalmatian of their own for their next birthday '' . The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported the film received an approval rating of 98 % based on 30 reviews with an average score of 7.7 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` With plenty of pooches and a memorable villain ( Cruella De Vil ) , this is one of Disney 's most enduring , entertaining animated films .

The earliest of these endeavors was the live - action remake , 101 Dalmatians ( 1996 ) . Starring Glenn Close as Cruella De Vil , none of the animals talked in this version . Its success in theaters led to 102 Dalmatians , released on November 22 , 2000 . Tv series After the first live - action version of the film , a cartoon called 101 Dalmatians : The Series was launched . The designs of the characters were stylized further to allow for economic animation and to appeal to contemporary trends . Sequel 101 Dalmatians II : Patch 's London Adventure , the official sequel to the original animated film , was released direct - to - video on January 21 , 2003 . Live - action spin - off Disney has announced that another live - action film is in development , but it will focus on the origin of Cruella de Vil . Emma Stone is set to play Cruella and Alex Timbers is in negotiations to direct the film .

Smoking in the United States military

Smoking in the United States military - wikipedia Smoking in the United States military OSS camp , Ceylon , 1945 . Invasion of Normandy on `` D - Day , 6 June 1944 . `` No Smoking '' sign on the ramp . Smoking in the United States military has been observed in previous wars , but smoking 's close association with the United States military started in World War I when tobacco companies began to target military personnel through the distribution of cigarettes to servicemen and the eventual inclusion of cigarettes into rations . Although the military has attempted to implement tobacco control initiatives , the association between smoking and military personnel has persisted to the present day as smoking rates remain high , despite declines in civilian rates . Such high rates have led to questions about the effect of smoking from the apparent health risks to troop readiness and training costs . Contents 1 Smoking in the US military from 1918 to 1975 2 Attempts at tobacco control initiatives 2.1 Tobacco industry 's response 3 Present - day smoking in the US military 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Smoking in the US military from 1918 to 1975 ( edit ) Wounded soldiers at Omaha Beach on D - Day With the entrance of the United States into World War I in 1918 , cigarette use increased dramatically among United States military personnel as they were targeted by tobacco companies which touted cigarettes as a way for soldiers to psychologically escape from their current circumstances , boosting overall troop morale . Cigarettes became so integrated into life on the battlefield that these symbols of pleasure and comfort were also used as a form of currency . Although cigarettes had been regarded as a physical and moral hazard by early anti-tobacco movements around this time , by 1918 , previously anti-cigarette organizations and the military began supporting efforts to distribute cigarettes to troops . The New York Times garnered support for these efforts by stating that cigarettes `` lighten ( ed ) the inevitable hardships of war '' , and another popular periodical described cigarettes as the `` last and only solace of the wounded . '' With the rise of World War II , tobacco companies continued to foster this culture of wartime smoking by sending free cigarettes to troops and supporting the inclusion of cigarettes into the soldiers ' rations . Advertisements also encouraged citizens back home to support the troops by sending cigarettes . In 1965 , first during the U.S. Army 's Basic Training Course & later in Pre-Airborne Infantry Training , while being allowed a break from P.T. , or during a long march , it was commonplace for a Drill Sergeant to say `` smoke ' em if you got ' em , do pushups if you do n't '' . Non-smoking soldiers would quickly `` bum '' a cigarette from a friend & they too would soon be smokers . Despite mounting evidence in the 1950s of the adverse health effects of smoking and tobacco use , the military continued to include cigarettes in rations until 1975 . Attempts at tobacco Control initiatives ( edit ) `` Prevent '' course booklet , participant workbook September 2003 , including tobacco issues . With the scientific data about the health risks of smoking and information about the effect of smoking on troop readiness , in 1975 , the United States Department of Defense discontinued the inclusion of cigarettes in K - rations and C - rations . By 1978 , the Department of Defense had implemented basic smoking regulations , including the designation of smoking and nonsmoking areas . In 1985 , the Department of Defense conducted a study that revealed that smoking rates of military personnel ( 47 % ) were significantly higher than that of US civilians ( 30 % ) and concluded that smoking had a negative effect on troop readiness . The report also cited an estimated tobacco - related healthcare costs as high as $209.9 million , and recommended potential methods to curb smoking in the military , including the elimination of tobacco products from stores , raising tobacco prices to civilian levels , and the implementation of an educational program to discourage smoking . In 1986 , the DoD Directive 1010.10 was issued by Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger , who announced , `` an intense anti-smoking campaign ... at all levels of all Services . '' It established a policy on smoking and other health risk behaviors such as alcohol consumption . The policy banned the use of tobacco during basic training , increased the number of designated nonsmoking areas , and prohibited health care providers from smoking on duty . The goal of the policy was to reduce all tobacco use rates to below that of civilians , and to reduce personnel and active duty rates from 52 % to 25 % by 1990 . In 1992 , the DeCA Directive 40 - 13 policy prohibited commissaries and exchanges from participating with promotions by tobacco manufacturers directed specifically at military personnel , and required commissaries to stock cigarettes in the back . In 1993 , the USS Theodore Roosevelt ( CVN - 71 ) became the first smoke - free Navy ship . By 1994 , the Department of Defense had implemented Directive 1010.15 which banned smoking in workplaces , designated outdoor smoking areas , and created the precursor of an education program that sought to distribute information to new personnel on the health effects of smoking and to encourage smokers to quit . Executive Order 13508 in 1997 banned smoking in all government - owned , rented , or leased interior spaces , but the Department of Defense approved a three - year phase - in period for their facilities and eventually implemented the ban on December 7 , 2002 . Despite these attempts , by 1988 , the smoking rate had only decreased to 42 % and far exceeded the rate of civilians . And although prevalence did decrease to 29.9 % from 1980 to 1998 , it has increased since then and appears to still be increasing . Tobacco industry 's response ( edit ) Vietnam War , 1969 . Realizing the opportunities of a worldwide military market due to the young demographics of military personnel and the smoking initiation associated with new recruits , the Tobacco Institute , which served as the tobacco industry 's lobbying organization , and Philip Morris perceived these new tobacco control initiatives as a threat and conceived strategies to circumvent the government policies . Another incentive for the tobacco industry to protect its military market was the recognized phenomenon that consumer product preferences developed during years serving in the military would later translate into civilian market profits as service members left the military or retired . After the implementation of Directive 1010.10 in 1986 , the Tobacco Institute and Philip Morris immediately began seeking the support of tobacco - friendly politicians against the policy , citing that the policy would have a negative impact on military recruitment , retention , and morale . Furthermore , letters sent to Secretary of Defense Weinberger from politicians invoked rhetoric about the infringement of `` personal rights '' and `` an individual 's right to smoke . '' Such political lobbying helped to limit the implementation and the further extension of Directive 1010.10 . Although the Department of Defense had discontinued the practice of free distribution of cigarettes during wartime , tobacco companies began campaigns during the Gulf War ( 1990 - 1991 ) to distribute free cigarettes to soldiers stationed in Saudi Arabia , but would eventually be rebuffed by the Department of Defense . Regardless , Philip Morris then began a campaign of sales through direct mail , and extended promotions to deployed troops that included the delivery of branded goods such as playing cards and cup cozies . Curiously enough , the military actually assisted the tobacco companies in delivering shipments to military stores in Saudi Arabia at government expense . Another controversy arose when it was discovered that RJ Reynolds had placed their company name on the front and a Camel advertisement on the back of donated magazines from Operation Desert News , a civilian project to bring magazines to the troops . In spite of the initial rejection by the Department of Defense due to the advertisement , constant pressure from RJ Reynolds and politicians allowed the magazines to be delivered with the advertisement at government expense , violating military policy that forbade tobacco - branded promotions directed at military personnel . In addition , Philip Morris focused on promoting the Marlboro brand with the goal of fostering corporate good will by initiating the `` Marlboro holiday voice card '' program . Held on 10 military bases , they invited family of deployed personnel to record a message for onto a chip inserted into a greeting card , and later allowed bases to extend the recording of such messages to the public . Despite being in violation of Department of Defense policy concerning tobacco - branded programs directed at military personnel , Philip Morris had received permission to carry out the program from the Defense Logistics Agency , the Morale , Welfare and Recreation headquarters of the services , and base commanders . Furthermore , after troops were withdrawn from the conflict in 1991 , tobacco companies sponsored `` Welcome Home '' events for returning troops featuring extensive brand promotion . Although the Department of Defense had enacted policies to reduce tobacco use amongst personnel , the successful efforts of tobacco companies as well as the cultural factors of smoking in the military have produced a mixed message of tobacco promotion and reduction to military personnel . Present - day smoking in the US military ( edit ) Naval Health Clinic , Hawaii , 2010 . Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay Medical Clinic , 2010 . In 2005 , the smoking rate of military personnel was found to be 32.2 % , compared to the civilian rate of 21 % . The higher smoking rate suggests that certain aspects of military may foster smoking . These factors include peer influence , combat stress , boredom , and easy access to cheap tobacco products . Another factor that may lead to increased tobacco use is deployment . One study found that among nonsmokers , smoking initiation was observed in 1.3 % of nondeployed personnel while 2.3 % were observed in deployed personnel . Among past smokers , resumption of smoking occurred in 28.7 % of non deployed personnel and 39.4 % of deployed personnel , while smoking increased 44 % among the former and 57 % among the latter . US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have been reported to smoke at twice the rate of other Americans . Even after leaving the service , many veterans continue to smoke as the prevalence of smoking among veterans has been reported to be 27 % during 2003 to 2007 , and military smoking is strongly associated with increased lifelong cigarette consumption . Such high levels of smoking have led to significant costs to the Department of Defense . The costs of smoking among US military health care system beneficiaries have been estimated to be more than $900 million per year in 1995 , with $584 million in direct health care costs and $346 million in lost productivity among active duty personnel . Suicide , which accounts for 13 % of fatalities in the military , has also been tied to smoking , as the risk of suicide among military men was found to increase significantly with the number of cigarettes smoked daily . Smoking also affects training costs as smokers are more likely to be discharged during training , and are associated with $18 million per year in excess training costs for the US Air Force , and over $130 million per year for all service branches . Note that the figures regarding smoking and suicide and manpower losses during training may represent more of a symptomatic relationship than a causative one . Many discharges during basic training result from a series of minor infractions , punished administratively as opposed to by courts - martial , which are seen as an indicator that the trainee can not or will not adjust to military life , rather than any single incident or serious violation of regulations . With smoking now prohibited in basic training , being caught smoking , and perhaps even being caught in the possession of cigarettes , is such an offense which smokers are obviously at risk for while non smokers are not . Regarding suicide , the figures showing increased rates of smoking and resumption of smoking among those deployed indicates that smoking may be a reaction to and indicator or increased stress , and a person who is potentially suicidal would obviously be under a more than typical degree of stress , so increased smoking may be an indicator of that excessive stress rather than a cause for increased risk of suicide . Also , a higher rate of smoking among those discharged during training may also be indicative of individuals for whom training is more than normally stressful , and such persons would likely experience more difficulty in successfully completing training than one who is not unusually ( compared to his / her peers ) stressed by it . In 2008 unauthorized smoking and improper storage of chemicals caused major damage to USS George Washington ( CVN - 73 ) . The Department of Defense hoped to lower rates of tobacco use to 12 % by the end of 2010 . To achieve their goal , Pentagon health experts have begun to urge the Defense Secretary Robert Gates to ban the use of tobacco by troops and end its sale on military property . The Navy implemented a ban on smoking in submarines by the end of 2010 -- highlighting one of the last loopholes in the indoor smoking ban imposed in 1994 .

( April 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Reese 's Peanut Butter Cups Product type Confectionery Owner The Hershey Company ( H.B. Reese Candy Company ) Country United States Introduced 1928 Markets Worldwide Tagline Reese 's ... perfect Website www.reeses.com Reese 's Peanut Butter Cups are a popular American candy consisting of a milk , white , or dark chocolate cup filled with peanut butter , marketed by The Hershey Company . They were created in 1928 by H.B. Reese , a former dairy farmer and shipping foreman for Milton S. Hershey . Reese was inspired by Hershey and left dairy farming to start his own candy business . Contents ( hide ) 1 The H.B. Reese Candy Company 2 Variations 3 Other Reese 's products 3.1 Holiday editions 3.2 Licensed foods 4 Marketing and advertising 5 Criticism 6 See also 7 References 8 External links The H.B. Reese candy Company ( edit ) The Harry Burnett Reese Candy Co. was established in the basement of Reese 's house in Hershey , Pennsylvania . Reese had originally worked at a Hershey dairy farm , and from the start he used Hershey Chocolate in his confections . Reese 's Peanut Butter Cups were his most popular candy , and Reese eventually discontinued his other lines . Reese died on May 16 , 1956 , passing the company to his six sons , Robert , John , Ed , Ralph , Harry , and Charles Richard Reese . On July 2 , 1963 , the Reese brothers merged the H.B. Reese Candy Company with the Hershey Chocolate Corporation in a tax - free stock - for - stock merger with the six Reese brothers receiving 666,316 Hershey common shares , valued in 1963 at $23.5 million . In 2017 , after 54 years of stock splits , those original shares now represent sixteen million Hershey common shares valued in excess of $1.7 billion , paying $42 million in annual cash dividends . The H.B. Reese Candy Company is maintained as a subsidiary of Hershey because the Reese plant workforce is not unionized , unlike the main Hershey plant . As of September 20 , 2012 , Reese 's is the best - selling candy brand in the United States with sales of $2.603 billion , and is the fourth - best - selling candy brand globally with sales of $2.679 billion -- only $76 million ( 2.8 % ) of its sales are from outside the United States market . Additionally , the H.B. Reese Candy Company manufactures the Kit Kat in the United States , which had 2012 U.S. sales of $948 million . Variations ( edit ) A trio of different sized cups . Starting from the left : mini , regular and big cup . Hershey 's produces `` limited editions '' of the candy that have included : Big Cups : an oversized version of the traditional cup ( also available in white chocolate , with peanuts , mixed nuts , and with a combination of nuts and caramel , and most recently , with Reese 's Pieces inside ) Caramel : the traditional cup with an added layer of caramel filling Chocolate Lovers : a thicker chocolate cup with a thinner layer of peanut butter Crunchy Cookie Cup : a layered cup with crushed chocolate cookies and peanut butter filling ( discontinued in 1999 , but was brought back in 2008 as a limited edition . In 2017 , Reese 's announced to relaunch a new version . ) Crunchy : a traditional cup with crunchy peanut butter , as opposed to the smooth peanut butter in the original Dark Chocolate : peanut butter filling in a dark chocolate cup Double Chocolate : chocolate fudge filling instead of peanut butter . Limited edition . Double Crunch : a traditional cup with peanut filling similar to a Snickers bar , released in the fourth - quarter of 2010 Fudge : a thicker , darker chocolate cup with peanut butter filling Half - Pound Cup : a single cup weighing 226g ; released in Canada in 2011 Hazelnut Cream : hazelnut cream instead of the standard peanut butter filling Honey Roasted : a traditional cup substituting honey roasted peanut butter Inside Out : chocolate filling in a peanut butter cup ( a reversal of the traditional version ) Marshmallow : the traditional cup with an added layer of marshmallow filling Miniatures : bite - size versions available year - round in bags .

Other Reese 's products ( edit ) Other candy products of the Reese 's division of Hershey include : 100 Calorie Peanut Butter Wafer Bars Chips Ahoy With Reese 's Peanut Butter Cups Reese 's Bar : a chocolate bar with squares of chocolate with a peanut butter filling Reese 's Brownies Reese 's Cookies Reese 's Crunchy Cookie Cups Reese 's Cremes Reese 's Crispy Crunchy Bar Reese 's Fast Break Reese 's Peanut Butter Cups Minis . Reese 's Mini 's Reese 's No Bake Bars Reese 's NutRageous Reese 's Oreos Reese 's Peanut Butter Bars ( with either chocolate or fudge coating ) Reese 's Peanut Butter Bites Reese 's Pieces with Nuts Reese 's Pieces Reese 's Pieces Cup Reese 's Puffs Cereal Reese 's Select Cluster Reese 's Snack Barz Reese 's Two Packs Reese 's Whipps Reese 's Swoops Reese 's Sticks Selecta Ice Cream With Reese 's Peanut Butter Cups ( sold in only in the Philippines ) Sweet ' n ' Salty Bar Reese 's Peanut Butter Cups ( sold in Philippines only ) Breyer 's ice cream with Reese 's flavor and chocolate and peanut butter pieces . In September 2007 , Hershey 's began producing a new Reese 's bar called Reese 's Whipps . Featuring peanut butter - flavored nougat with a chocolate coating , it has been likened to a peanut butter - flavored 3 Musketeers candy bar owned by Mars , Incorporated . Hershey also produces several `` pantry '' items under the Reese 's brand , such as Reese 's peanut butter chips ( analogous to chocolate chips for baking ) , Reese 's premier baking pieces ( tiny cup - shaped pieces of chocolate filled with peanut - butter , also for baking ) , Reese 's jarred peanut butter , and Reese 's toppings ( including peanut butter syrup , peanut butter and chocolate topping , and Reese 's Magic Shell ) and sprinkles for ice cream . For the July 2008 release of the Batman feature film The Dark Knight , Reese 's released two limited time products : blue and black Reese 's Pieces with Batman 's likeness on the packaging , and Reese 's peanut butter - filled chocolate Batman logos which were sold individually and roughly the size of two Reese 's cups combined . The fact that Reese Sticks digressed from the normal Reese 's naming pattern was pointed out by Paul Lukas in his zine Beer Frame . As Lukas noted , even though the official name was Reese Sticks , most people he casually surveyed pronounced it unknowingly as Reese 's Sticks . In 2009 , Hershey 's changed the name officially to Reese 's Sticks . Holiday editions ( edit ) During the seasons when retailers offer holiday - themed candies , Reese 's Peanut Butter candies are available in various shapes that still offer the standard confection theme of the traditional Reese 's cup ( peanut butter contained in a chocolate shell ) . They are sold in a 6 - pack packaging configuration but are usually available individually . Although exterior packaging is altered to reflect the theme of the representative holiday , the actual holiday itself is never presented . Reese 's Peanut Butter Hearts Available mainly during January and February , these are heart - shaped confections representing Valentine 's Day . At various retailers , an individually - packaged , larger heart is available as well . These are packaged in all - red exterior packaging . Reese 's Peanut Butter Eggs Available mainly during March and April , these are egg - shaped confections representing Easter . Exterior packaging is usually yellow and orange ( milk chocolate ) , white and orange ( white chocolate ) , or dark brown and orange ( fudge - flavored chocolate ) . This is the only holiday - themed item available in three various chocolate varieties . A larger , individually - packaged Easter Bunny Reese 's peanut butter item , known as Reester Bunny , is available as well . Also , Reese 's Pieces are offered in Pastel Eggs . Reese 's Peanut Butter Pumpkins Available mainly during September and October , these are pumpkin - shaped confections representing Halloween . The packaging is standard Reese 's orange with a jack - o - lantern picture and the word `` Pumpkins '' prominently displayed . Reese 's Peanut Butter Ghosts Available mainly during September and October , these are ghost - shaped confections representing Halloween . The packaging is Halloween themed with the word scary on it . The ghost replaces the letter `` a '' in the word scary . First released in 2016 . Reese 's Peanut Butter Christmas Trees Available mainly during November and December , these are evergreen tree - shaped confections representing Christmas . At various retailers these may be available in standard milk chocolate or white . Initially , the packaging was green , white , and orange , but has been changed to a winter scene with a snow - covered ground and a snowman with a central large orange evergreen tree - shape in the center of the package . Another product offered is Reese 's Peanut Butter Bells , which offers miniature Reese 's cups in a Christmas bell shape . A third product is a milk chocolate - covered Reese 's Snowman , wrapped in a snowman foil . The peanut butter snowman is three times larger than the peanut butter tree , egg or pumpkin . In December 2005 , it was noted that some of the holiday shaped Reese 's candies ( such as the Bells ) contain gluten , unlike the standard peanut butter cups . In November 2015 , consumers criticized the product via Twitter for bearing too vague a resemblance to a Christmas tree . Licensed foods ( edit ) Hershey licenses the Reese 's brand ( name , logo , etc . ) to various companies for the production of other products beyond the traditional realm of candy . For example , General Mills produces Reese 's Puffs , a brand of peanut butter and chocolate flavored breakfast cereal . Several companies , including Breyers , Baskin - Robbins , and Dairy Queen , produce various licensed Reese 's ice cream products . Marketing and advertising ( edit ) The Reese 's logo In the United States , Reese 's Peanut Butter Cups typically come in packs of 2 , 4 , 5 , 10 or 20 in distinctive orange packaging , set on thin but rigid paperboard trays . The `` Classic '' two - pack is a 0.75 oz . cup since 2001 ( originally a 0.9 oz . size , reduced to 0.8 oz. in 1991 ) , the `` King Size '' four - pack introduced in the early 1980s is a 0.7 oz . cup ( originally a 0.8 oz . cup until 1991 ) and the `` Lunch '' eight - pack is a 0.55 oz . cup . `` Large Size '' packs of three 0.7 oz . cups , as well as bags containing 0.6 oz . cups , are also available . The `` mini '' cups come in various bag sizes and foil colors for seasonal themes like red , gold and green for the Christmas holiday season . In Canada , where they are packaged as Reese Peanut Butter Cups ( except Reese 's pieces ) , but still widely referred to by their American name , they come in a standard pack of three 0.55 oz . cups or the king - size variation with four cups . In the United Kingdom and Ireland , they were originally available only in two - packs , though are now only available in three - packs , imported from Canada . In 2008 Reese 's Peanut Butter Cups were made available in Europe by Hydro Texaco and 7 - Eleven . In Australia , Reese 's products can be found in many specialty candy stores , as well as from American stores such as Costco . In the 1970s and 1980s , a series of commercials were run for Reese 's Peanut Butter Cups featuring situations in which two people , one eating peanut butter and one eating chocolate , collided . One person would exclaim , `` You got your peanut butter on my chocolate ! '' and the other would exclaim , `` You got your chocolate in my peanut butter ! '' . They would then sample the mixture and remark on the great taste , tying in with the slogan `` Two great tastes that taste great together . '' In the 1990s , the product 's slogan was : `` There 's no wrong way to eat a Reese 's . '' The current slogan , introduced in the mid-2000s , is : `` Perfect '' . Reese 's was an associate sponsor of Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers Mark Martin ( 1994 ) , and Kevin Harvick ( 2007 -- 2010 ) . Criticism ( edit ) Reese 's Peanut Butter Cups are made with the controversial ingredient PGPR ( Polyglycerol polyricinoleate , E476 , a.k.a. Palsgaard 4150 ) , which is used as a replacement for cocoa butter . The FDA has determined it to be `` safe for humans as long as you restrict your intake to 7.5 milligrams per kilogram of body weight .

Bagheera trains Mowgli to learn the ways of the wolves , but the boy faces certain challenges and falls behind his wolf siblings while Akela disapproves of him using human tricks like building tools instead of learning the ways of the pack . One day , during the dry season , the jungle animals gather to drink the water that remains as part of a truce during a drought that enables the jungle 's wildlife to drink without fear of being eaten by their predators . The truce is disrupted when a scarred tiger named Shere Khan arrives detecting Mowgli 's scent in the large crowd . Resentful against man for scarring him , he issues a warning that he will kill Mowgli at the end of the drought . After the drought ends , the wolves debate whether they should keep Mowgli or not . Mowgli decides to leave the jungle for the safety of his pack . Bagheera agrees with the decision and volunteers to guide him to the nearby man village . En route , Shere Khan ambushes them and injures Bagheera , but Mowgli manages to escape . Later , Mowgli meets an enormous python named Kaa who hypnotizes him . While under her influence , Mowgli sees a vision of his father being mauled while protecting him from Shere Khan . The vision also warns of the destructive power of the `` red flower '' ( fire ) . Kaa attempts to devour Mowgli , but she is attacked by a large brown sloth bear named Baloo , rescuing an unconscious Mowgli . Baloo and Mowgli bond while retrieving some difficult - to - access honey for Baloo and Mowgli agrees to stay with Baloo until the winter season arrives . Upon learning that Mowgli has left the jungle , Shere Khan kills Akela and threatens the pack to lure Mowgli out . Bagheera eventually finds Mowgli and Baloo and is angered that Mowgli has not joined the humans as agreed , but Baloo calms him down and persuades both of them to sleep on it . During the night , Mowgli finds a herd of Indian elephants gathered around a ditch and uses his vines to save a baby elephant from the ditch . Although Baloo and Bagheera are both impressed , Baloo realizes that he can not guarantee Mowgli 's safety after learning that he is being hunted by Shere Khan . Baloo agrees to push Mowgli away to get him to continue onward to the man village . Mowgli is kidnapped by the `` Bandar - log '' ( monkeys ) who present him to their leader , a giant ape named King Louie . Assuming that all humans can make fire , King Louie offers Mowgli protection from Shere Khan in exchange for it . Baloo distracts King Louie while Bagheera tries to sneak him out , but their plan is discovered . As King Louie chases Mowgli through his temple , he informs Mowgli of Akela 's death . King Louie 's rampage eventually causes his temple to collapse on top of him . Furious that Baloo and Bagheera never told him about Akela 's death , Mowgli goes to confront Shere Khan alone . Mowgli steals a lit torch at the village to use as a weapon and heads back to the jungle , accidentally starting a wildfire in the process . He confronts Shere Khan , who argues that Mowgli has made himself the enemy of the jungle by causing the wildfire . Mowgli throws the torch into the water , giving Shere Khan the advantage . Baloo , Bagheera , and the wolf pack intervene and hold Shere Khan off , giving Mowgli enough time to set a trap . He lures Shere Khan up a dead tree and onto a branch , which breaks under the tiger 's weight and Shere Khan falls into the fire to his death . Mowgli then directs the elephants to divert the river and put out the fire . In the aftermath , Raksha becomes the new leader of the wolf pack . Mowgli decides to utilize his equipment and tricks for his own use , having found his true home and calling with his wolf family , Baloo , and Bagheera .

Production ( edit ) Development and casting ( edit ) `` The idea of going out to the jungle and shooting this , it just felt like it would n't have the magic that the 1967 film had had . There was a dreamlike quality to it . There was a surreal quality to it . It was a high - water mark for character animation and to me , that 's what I remember about it . And so I wanted to make sure we preserved that ... But what ( Alan ) Horn said was : Look at the technology . Look at Life of Pi , Avatar . Why not use the technology to create a whole world that transports you ? Let 's really embrace this new technology and see what we can do if we push its limit . '' -- Jon Favreau on approaching the film 's technical intent . Walt Disney Pictures announced that a live - action remake of The Jungle Book was in development on July 9 , 2013 , with Justin Marks set to write the script . The film would be Disney 's second live - action adaptation of Rudyard Kipling 's works , following the 1994 film , and the studio 's third overall after the 1967 animated musical . Jon Favreau was later confirmed as director on November 5 , 2013 . Favreau as a child used to watch Disney 's 1967 animated musical version . He felt the need to strike a balance between the two films by retaining the buoyant spirit of the 1967 film , including some of its memorable songs , while crafting a movie with more realism and peril . He also stressed the importance of nature and realized how things have shifted during Kipling 's time and now , `` In Kipling 's time , nature was something to be overcome . Now nature is something to be protected . '' He was encouraged by Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn to take advantage of the film 's setting and story as an opportunity to use the latest advancements in photorealistic rendering , computer - generated imagery , and motion capture technologies . The story of the film is not independently taken from Kipling 's works , but also borrows cinematic inspirations from other films , including the child - mentor relationship in Shane ( 1953 ) , the establishment of rules in a dangerous world from Goodfellas ( 1990 ) and the use of a shadowy jungle figure in Apocalypse Now ( 1979 ) . The cast was announced between March and August 2014 , with Idris Elba being announced to voice Shere Khan during early stages and Bill Murray eventually confirmed as the voice of Baloo in August 2014 . Between then , Scarlett Johansson , Ben Kingsley , and Christopher Walken were confirmed to play Kaa , Bagheera , and King Louie . Favreau decided to cast Johansson to play Kaa , originally a male character , as he felt the original film was `` a little too male - oriented . '' Favreau and Marks noticed the lack of female characters in the 1967 film version and wanted to address that by featuring Raksha 's character more prominently , as in Kipling 's tales . Lupita Nyong'o was cast as Raksha as Favreau believed her voice imbued the emotion required for the role , `` Lupita has tremendous depth of emotion in her performance . There 's an emotional underpinning she brings , and a strength , and we wanted that for this surrogate mother . Much of that comes from her voice . '' Favreau also decided to change King Louie from an orangutan to a Gigantopithecus due to the fact that orangutans are not native to India , where the story takes place . His character was given a slight alteration from the 1967 film and was partly inspired by Marlon Brando 's character Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now , as well as incorporating Walken 's own physical mannerisms . In regards to Louie 's changes , Favreau stated , `` We created this looming figure that was trying to extract the secret of fire from Mowgli . And also this gave Mowgli the idea that if he had fire , he could have power over Shere Khan , whether it was good or bad . So there was a Lord of the Rings aspect to that ; the fire was almost like the ring in that was going to give someone ultimate power , but corrupt them as well as create destruction . '' The film is dedicated to Garry Shandling , who voiced a porcupine in the film and died of a heart attack before the film 's release . The search for casting Mowgli was extensive , with thousands of children auditioning from the United States , the United Kingdom , New Zealand , and Canada . Eventually , newcomer Neel Sethi was confirmed for the role , with casting director Rebecca Williams describing him as embodying `` the heart , humor , and daring of the character . He 's warm and accessible , yet also has an intelligence well beyond his years and impressed us all with his ability to hold his own in any situation . '' Sethi underwent parkour training in preparation for the role . Pixar Animation Studios assisted in the development of the story , as well as providing suggestions for the film 's end credits sequence . Filming and visual effects ( edit ) Principal photography took place entirely on sound stages at L.A. Center Studios in downtown Los Angeles . The animal characters were created entirely in key frame computer animation , with the assistance of footage of real animal movement , the actors recording their lines , and performance capture for reference . The production team underwent a thorough process to realistically convey the animals ' speaking , while still making them perceptually believable to the audience . Favreau researched earlier films featuring anthropomorphic animals -- including Walt Disney 's animated features , such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Bambi , as well as modern films such as Babe -- and adopted certain techniques from those films into The Jungle Book . Nearly 70 separate species of animals native to India are featured in the film , with several species being portrayed as `` 150 % larger '' than their actual counterparts . Jim Henson 's Creature Shop was brought in to provide animal puppet figures for Sethi to act against , although none appear in the finished film . The animal puppets were performed by Artie Esposito , Sean Johnson , Allan Trautman , and April Warren . Favreau utilized motion capture with certain actors , expressing a desire to avoid overusing the technology in order to prevent evoking an uncanny valley effect . Moving Picture Company ( MPC ) and Weta Digital created the film 's visual effects . MPC developed new software for animating muscular structure in the animals . Around 1,000 remote jungle locations in India were photographed and used as reference in post-production . Weta was responsible for animating the King Louie sequence , with visual effects supervisor Keith Miller adding that , `` It was important for Jon to see Christopher Walken in the creature . So we took some of the distinctive Walken facial features -- iconic lines , wrinkles and folds -- and integrated them into the animated character . '' Favreau expressed desire in wanting the film 's 3D shots to imbue the abilities of the multiplane camera system utilized in Disney 's earlier animated films . At Favreau 's behest , the idea was extended into the film 's version of the Walt Disney Pictures opening production logo , which was recreated as `` a hand - painted , cel - animated multi-plane logo '' in homage to the animated films of that era , also incorporating the word `` Presents '' in the same style as the 1967 film 's opening credits . The film 's ending also features the original physical book that opened the 1967 film . Sound ( edit ) Director Jon Favreau and composer John Debney sought to recreate the Fantasound experience Walt Disney , himself , had in mind . When mixing the soundtrack in Dolby Atmos , as Favreau said , `` we isolated instruments when we could . And in the sound mix , we created a Fantasound mix . If you see the film in Atmos , you will feel that there are instruments that move around the theater . '' A mention for Fantasound appears in the film 's closing credits . Music ( edit ) The musical score for The Jungle Book was composed and conducted by frequent Favreau collaborator John Debney , mostly drawing from George Bruns ' original music . Though Favreau decided not to make the film a musical , nevertheless , he and Debney incorporated several songs from the 1967 animated film . `` The Bare Necessities , '' written by Terry Gilkyson , is performed by Murray and Sethi , and a cover version by Dr. John is featured in the end credits . `` I Wan'na Be Like You '' and `` Trust in Me '' -- written by the Sherman Brothers -- are performed by Walken and Johansson , respectively ; Richard M. Sherman wrote revised lyrics for Walken 's version of `` I Wan'na Be Like You . '' Johansson 's rendition of `` Trust in Me '' was produced by Mark Ronson and appears in the end credits only .

Release ( edit ) Jon Favreau at the premiere of The Jungle Book in Sydney , Australia The film was originally scheduled for October 9 , 2015 , but the film 's release date was later postponed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures to April 15 , 2016 . The film was released in the Dolby Vision format in Dolby Cinema in the United States , and is the first film to be released in Dolby Vision 3D ( in a few select theaters in New York City and Chicago ) . The Jungle Book held its world premiere at the El Capitan Theatre on April 4 , 2016 . It was released in 15 countries , a week ahead of its U.S. debut on April 15 , in countries like Argentina , Australia , Russia , Malaysia , and most notably in India on April 8 . The release date in India was strategic for the film as it coincided with the Indian New Year and was a holiday in most parts of the country . Disney India commissioned a contemporary recording of `` Jungle Jungle Baat Chali Hai , '' overseen by the song 's composers Vishal Bhardwaj and Gulzar , and released it as part of the film 's promotional campaign in India . Home Media ( edit ) The film was released digitally on August 23 , 2016 , and on DVD and Blu - ray on August 30 ( August 22 in the UK ) . A 3D Blu - ray was said to be coming by the end of the year . The film topped the NPD VideoScan overall disc sales chart for two consecutive weeks . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) The film became a huge financial success and a surprise hit . It briefly held the record for the biggest remake of all time until the studio 's own Beauty and the Beast surpassed it the following year . It grossed $364 million in the United States and Canada and $602.5 million in other countries for a worldwide total of $966.6 million , against a budget of $175 million . Worldwide , the film was released across 28,000 RealD 3D screens and had an IMAX worldwide opening of $20.4 million from 901 IMAX screens , a new record for a PG film . It grossed a total of $39 million in IMAX screens worldwide . On May 13 , it became the second film of 2016 ( after the studio 's own Zootopia ) to pass the $800 million mark . On June 10 , it became the third film of 2016 after Zootopia and Captain America : Civil War to pass the $900 million mark . Deadline.com calculated the net profit of the film to be $258 million , when factoring together all expenses and revenues for the film , making it the sixth-most profitable release of 2016 . United States and Canada ( edit ) Projections for its opening weekend in the United States and Canada were continuously revised upwards , starting from $60 million to as high as $88 million , with female and older male quadrants being the prime draw . The Jungle Book was shown across 4,028 theaters of which 3,100 theaters ( 75 % ) were in 3D , including 376 IMAX screens , 463 premium large format screens , and 145 D - Box locations . It opened Friday , April 15 , 2016 , on around 9,500 screens across 4,028 theaters , and earned $32.4 million , the fourth - biggest April Friday . This includes $4.2 million from Thursday previews , the biggest preview number for a Disney live - adaptation film ( tied with Maleficent ) , an almost unheard - of for a PG title which rarely attracts many ticketbuyers later in the night . In total , it earned $103.3 million in its opening weekend , exceeding expectations by 40 % and recorded the biggest PG - rated April opening ( breaking Hop 's record ) , the second - biggest Disney live - action adaptation opening ( behind Alice in Wonderland ) , and the second - biggest April opening ( behind Furious 7 ) . It also performed exceptionally well in both 3D and IMAX formats , where they both generated an income of $44 million and $10.4 million of the film 's opening - weekend gross , respectively , the later broke the record for the biggest April Disney release IMAX opening . Notably , it also became the only second PG - rated release to ever open above $100 million ( following Alice in Wonderland ) and the third film of 2016 overall to open above $100 million ( following Deadpool and Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice ) . It earned $130.7 million in its first full week , the second - biggest for a Disney live - action adaptation , behind only Alice in Wonderland 's $146.6 million seven - day gross . Buoyed by excellent word of mouth and benefiting from spring break , it fell only by 40 % in its second weekend earning $61.5 million , still maintaining the top position and far surpassing newcomer The Huntsman : Winter 's War . That puts The Jungle Book in the top fifteen second weekends of all time and in terms of films that opened above $100 million , it scored the fourth - smallest drop behind Shrek 2 ( − 33 % ) , Spider - Man ( − 39 % ) , and Star Wars : The Force Awakens ( − 39 % ) . Of those numbers , $5.6 million came from IMAX shows for a two weekend cumulative total of $18.4 million which represents about 10 % of its entire North American box office gross . It crossed $200 million on its twelfth day of release and managed to hold the top spot for the third consecutive weekend with $43.7 million from 4,041 theaters ( an addition of 13 more theaters ) , a fall of only 29 % , outgrossing the next six pictures combined ( including the openings of three newcomers ) and recorded the sixth - biggest third weekend of all time . Moreover , the 29 % drop is the smallest third - weekend drop ( from its second weekend ) for a $100 million opener ever . Disney added an additional 103 theaters for the film 's fourth weekend of release which propelled its theater count to 4,144 theaters , but nevertheless , it was overtaken by Disney 's own Captain America : Civil War after experiencing a 50 % decline . It passed $300 million on its thirtieth day of release , on May 14 , as it continued to witness marginal declines in the wake of several new releases weekend after weekend . It made 3.53 times its opening weekend numbers , which is one of the biggest of all time for a film opening above $100 million . It became one of the few surprise hits and one of the highest - grossing films of the year , alongside Finding Dory , The Secret Life of Pets , and Zootopia , centered around talking animals to dominate the year - end chart . Other countries ( edit ) The film was released in approximately 70 countries . Outside the US and Canada , it opened across 15 markets and 69 IMAX screens a week ahead of its US debut , and faced notable competition from newcomer The Huntsman : Winter 's War and holdover Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice , the latter of which was entering its third weekend . The reason behind the divided release pattern was because Disney wanted to get some space before Captain America : Civil War releases in early May , as well as availing school holidays and avoiding local competitors . It eventually grossed $31.7 million , debuting at first place in all markets and second overall at the international box office , behind Dawn of Justice , which was playing across 67 markets . In its second weekend , it expanded to an additional 49 countries ( 88 % of its total marketplace ) and grossed $138.6 million from 64 countries , easily topping the international box office , a bulk of it came from China . Approximately 63 % or $85 million of that came from 3D screenings , with the largest 3D opening haul represented by China ( 98 % ) , Germany ( 83 % ) , Brazil ( 73 % ) , Russia ( 60 % ) , Mexico ( 47 % ) , and the UK ( 39 % ) . $10 million alone came from 525 IMAX screens , a record for a PG and April release . It further continued to hold the top spot in its third weekend after adding another $98.9 million from 53 territories , falling only by a marginal 32 % . IMAX generated another $6.1 million from 484 IMAX theaters for a three - weekend total of $20.6 million . After three straight No. 1 runs , it was finally dethroned by the studio 's Captain America : Civil War in its fourth weekend . In India , it scored the second - biggest opening day for a Hollywood film , earning $1.51 million ( behind Avengers : Age of Ultron ) from around 1,500 screens and went on to score the second - biggest Hollywood opening weekend of all time , with $8.4 million from 1,600 screens , behind only Furious 7 in terms of local as well as U.S. currency , performing better than expected and its initial $5 -- 6 million opening projection . Its opening weekend in India alone surpassed the entire lifetime total of Disney 's other live - fantasy adaptations -- Cinderella , Maleficent , Oz the Great and Powerful , and Alice in Wonderland -- in the country . It then went on to score the biggest opening and single week for a Hollywood film with $15.1 million . In its second weekend , it dropped just by a mere 40 % to $4.97 million . In just ten days , it became the fourth - highest - grossing Hollywood film there with $21.2 million . On Wednesday , April 19 -- its twelfth day of release -- it surpassed Furious 7 to become the highest - grossing Hollywood / foreign release of all time there . By the end of its theatrical run , the film made an estimated $38.8 million with half of its revenue -- 58 % -- coming from local dubbed versions , compared to Avengers : Age of Ultron , which saw 45 % of its revenue from dubbed versions . In China , where the film was locally known as Fantasy Forest , expectations were high , with projections going as high $154 -- 200 million or more . Ultimately , it was unable to hit these marks . Before the release of the film in the state , Disney had a very successful run at the box office with Zootopia the previous month , in which anthropomorphic animals were the central figure . Forbes noted that The Jungle Book was precisely the sort of film that Chinese audiences love with its 3D visuals , heartwarming story , and talking animal cast . It earned around $12 million on its opening day , including $300,000 worth of previews from 65,000 screenings . Buoyed by good word of mouth and positive reception ( albeit mostly from audiences with polarized reception from Chinese critics ) , it rose 72 % on its second day to $20 million . Through its opening weekend it grossed $48.5 million , including $5.1 million from 279 IMAX screens , a new record for April release . Its opening marked the biggest Walt Disney Pictures film opening ever , the second - biggest for a family film ( behind Kung Fu Panda 3 ) , the second - biggest April debut ( behind Furious 7 ) , and the fourth - biggest Disney opening ( behind Avengers : Age of Ultron , Iron Man 3 , and Star Wars : The Force Awakens ) . It topped the daily box office through the whole opening week and went on to remain at the top of the box office for a second weekend , after dropping by a mere 20 % to $29.8 million , despite facing some competitions . It ended its run there with a total of $150.1 million after thirty days of playing in theaters , adding $1.2 million on its last day . Albeit falling just below expectations , it nevertheless emerged as a huge financial success and becoming the fourth - biggest Disney release there . In the United Kingdom and Ireland , it had an opening weekend total of £ 9.9 million ( $14.1 million ) from 594 theaters and in France with $8.1 million . Elsewhere , the highest openings were recorded in Russia and the CIS ( $7.4 million ) , Germany ( $5.1 million ) , Spain ( $3.9 million ) , Australia ( $2.8 million ) , Argentina ( $2.3 million ) , and in Malaysia , where it scored the biggest opening weekend for a live - action Disney film with $2.3 million . In the UK , it became the first film of 2016 to earn over £ 5 million in three straight weekends and the first film since Jurassic World , Spectre , and Star Wars : The Force Awakens ( all 2015 films ) to achieve such an accomplishment , and the first film of 2016 to earn above £ 40 million ( $58 million ) . In South Korea , it faced competition with Warcraft , but ended up debuting atop the charts with $6.2 million . It has so far grossed a total of $18 million there . It opened in Japan on August 11 , alongside the superhero film X-Men : Apocalypse and delivered a four - day opening of $6.2 million from 676 screens ( $3 million in two days ) , debuting at second place behind The Secret Life of Pets . Although the opening figure was considered mediocre , Deadline.com noted that Japan is a market that can see big multiples . It fell just 30 % in its second weekend earning $2.1 million for an eleven - day total of $13.7 million . In total earnings , its biggest markets outside of the US and Canada were China ( $150.1 million ) , the United Kingdom ( $66.2 million ) and India ( $38.8 million ) . It was the highest - grossing film of 2016 in Europe with a total of $209 million , the United Kingdom and Ireland , and in India ( although it was later surpassed by Sultan , in terms of Hollywood / imported films , it is still the biggest ) . Critical response ( edit ) The vocal performances of Bill Murray ( left ) , Idris Elba ( middle ) , and Ben Kingsley ( right ) were particularly praised . The film received praise for its visual effects , vocal performances , direction , musical score , and its faithfulness to the animated film . On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 95 % , based on 293 reviews , with an average rating of 7.7 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` As lovely to behold as it is engrossing to watch , The Jungle Book is the rare remake that actually improves upon its predecessors -- all while setting a new standard for CGI . '' On Metacritic , the film has a score of 77 out of 100 , based on 49 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews . '' Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale . Ninety - seven percent of the audience gave the film an A or a B. It got As from both the under - and over-25 crowd and A+ among those under 18 years of age , and also for the over-50 audience . Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter wrote , `` Exceptionally beautiful to behold and bolstered by a stellar vocal cast , this umpteenth film rendition of Rudyard Kipling 's tales of young Mowgli 's adventures amongst the creatures of the Indian jungle proves entirely engaging , even if it 's ultimately lacking in subtext and thematic heft . '' Andrew Barker of Variety felt that this version `` ca n't rival the woolly looseness of Disney 's 1967 animated classic , of course , but it succeeds on its own so well that such comparisons are barely necessary . '' Robbie Collin of The Telegraph gave the film four stars out of five , and deemed it `` a sincere and full - hearted adaptation that returns to Kipling for fresh inspiration . '' Alonso Duralde of The Wrap says `` This ' Book ' might lack the post-vaudeville razzamatazz of its predecessor , but director Jon Favreau and a team of effects wizards plunge us into one of the big screen 's most engrossing artificial worlds since Avatar . '' Peter Bradshaw , writing for The Guardian , gave the film four out of five stars and felt that the film had a touch of Apocalypto in it , finding the plot elements to be similar to those in The Lion King . He wrote that the film was `` spectacular , exciting , funny and fun '' and that it `` handsomely revives the spirit of Disney 's original film . '' Pete Hammond of Deadline.com wrote that the film had laughs , excitement , an exceptional voice cast and , most importantly , a lot of heart , calling it a cinematic achievement like no other . He particularly praised Murray 's performance and the visual effects , deeming it `` simply astonishing . '' Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly graded the film an `` A -- , '' calling it one of the biggest surprises of 2016 . He , however , felt the two songs were rather unnecessary and distracting , and believed the film to be a little too frightening for children . Richard Roeper of Chicago Sun - Times awarded the film three - and - a-half stars , pointing out the CGI as the apex achievement of the film . He labelled it `` a beautifully rendered , visually arresting take on Rudyard Kipling 's oft - filmed tales '' but found the musical numbers to be trivial , saying that without the musical numbers , the film might have been a more exhilarating streamlined adventure . Los Angeles Times ' Kenneth Turan remarked that `` The Jungle Book is the kind of family film calculated to make even those without families wish they had one to take along . '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone awarded the film three - and - a-half stars out of four , labeling it scary and thrilling , yet unique and unforgettable , and adding that it `` fills us with something rare in movies today -- a sense of wonder . '' The Village Voice 's Bilge Ebiri hailed the film as fast and light and that it `` manages to be just scary enough to make us feel the danger of solitude in the middle of a massive jungle , but never indulgent or gratuitous . '' The New York Times ' Manohla Dargis was less enthusiastic . Cath Clarke of Time Out compared Elba 's character of Shere Khan to Scar from The Lion King , calling him `` baddie of the year . '' Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com also had high praise for Elba 's portrayal of Shere Khan stating : `` His loping menace is envisioned so powerfully that he 'd be scary no matter what , but the character becomes a great villain through imaginative empathy . We understand and appreciate his point - of - view , even though carrying it out would mean the death of Mowgli . '' The film 's visual effects and 3D photography received acclaim , with comparisons being made to the likes of Avatar , Gravity , Hugo , and Life of Pi . Sarah Ward of Screen International wrote that the level of detail on display in the film `` is likely to evoke the same jaw - dropping reaction as James Cameron 's box office topper . '' Entertainment Weekly called it `` one of the few 3D movies that actually benefits from being in 3D . '' The film also garnered a positive reception from Indian contemporary critics and publications , such as The Times of India , The Hindu , India Today , The Indian Express , and The Economic Times . The film also had its share of negative reviews with most reviewers criticizing the inconsistent tone of the film and the director 's indecision to stick to one vision . Sam C. Mac of Slant Magazine wrote , `` Jon Favreau draws heavily on his film 's animated predecessor for plot , characterizations , songs , and set pieces , but does n't know how to fit these familiar elements into his own coherent vision '' . Josh Spiegel of Movie Mezzanine also echoed these feelings , saying that the film `` stumbles because the people involved are n't willing to fully commit to either making a near - shot - for - shot remake or going in a completely different direction '' . Rene Rodriguez of the Miami Herald felt that the movie was soulless , writing that `` The better these talking beasts look , the more the film resembles a gorgeous screen saver . You admire The Jungle Book , but you ca n't lose yourself in it '' . Accolades ( edit ) Main article : List of accolades received by The Jungle Book ( 2016 film ) Sequel ( edit ) Following the film 's early financial and critical success , the studio has begun working on a sequel . Jon Favreau is reported to return as director and Neel Sethi is reported to reprise his role of Mowgli , while screenwriter Justin Marks is also in negotiations to return . It was announced on April 25 , 2016 that Favreau and Marks will return to direct and write , and the sequel could potentially have a release sometime in 2019 and will be shot back - to - back with a live - action remake of The Lion King . However , it was reported in March 2017 that the sequel was put on hold in order for Favreau to instead focus mainly on The Lion King .

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

See also : Colony of Santo Domingo , Colony of Saint - Domingue , History of Haiti , and History of the Dominican Republic Etymology ( edit ) The island was called by various names by its native people , the Taíno Amerindians . No known Taíno texts survive , hence , historical evidence for those names comes to us through three historians : the Italian Pietro Martyr d'Anghiera , and the Spaniards Bartolomé de las Casas and Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo . Fernández de Oviedo and de las Casas both recorded that the island was called Haiti ( `` Mountainous Land '' ) by the Taíno . D'Anghiera added another name , Quizqueia ( supposedly `` Mother of all Lands '' ) , but later research shows that the word does not seem to derive from the original Arawak Taíno language . ( Quisqueya is today mostly used in the Dominican Republic . ) Although the Taínos ' use of Haiti is verified , and the name was used by all three historians , evidence suggests that it probably was not the Taíno name of the whole island , but only for a region ( now known as Los Haitises ) in the northeastern section of the present - day Dominican Republic . When Columbus took possession of the island in 1492 , he named it Insula Hispana in Latin and La Isla Española in Spanish , with both meaning `` the Spanish island '' . De las Casas shortened the name to `` Española '' , and when d'Anghiera detailed his account of the island in Latin , he rendered its name as Hispaniola . In the oldest documented map of the island , created by Andrés de Morales , Los Haitises is labeled Montes de Haití ( `` Haiti Mountains '' ) , and de las Casas apparently named the whole island Haiti on the basis of that particular region , as d'Anghiera states that the name of one part was given to the whole island . Due to Taíno , Spanish and French influences on the island , historically the whole island was often referred to as Haiti , Hayti , Santo Domingo , St. Domingue , or San Domingo . The colonial terms Saint - Domingue and Santo Domingo are sometimes still applied to the whole island , though these names refer , respectively , to the colonies that became Haiti and the Dominican Republic . Since Anghiera 's literary work was translated into English and French soon after being written , the name `` Hispaniola '' became the most frequently used term in English - speaking countries for the island in scientific and cartographic works . In 1918 , the United States occupation government , led by Harry Shepard Knapp , obliged the use of the name Hispaniola on the island , and recommended the use of that name to the National Geographic Society . The name Haïti was adopted by Haitian revolutionary Jean - Jacques Dessalines in 1804 , as the official name of independent Saint - Domingue , as a tribute to the Amerindian predecessors . It was also adopted as the official name of independent Santo Domingo , as the Republic of Spanish Haiti , a state that existed from November 1821 until its annexation by Haiti in February 1822 . Post-columbian ( edit ) Columbus landing on Hispaniola Christopher Columbus inadvertently landed on the island during his first voyage across the Atlantic in 1492 , where his flagship , the Santa Maria , sank after running aground on December 25 . A contingent of men were left at an outpost christened La Navidad , on the north coast of present - day Haiti . On his return the following year , following the destruction of La Navidad by the local population , Columbus quickly established a second compound farther east in present - day Dominican Republic , La Isabela . The island was inhabited by the Taíno , one of the indigenous Arawak peoples . The Taino were at first tolerant of Columbus and his crew , and helped him to construct La Navidad on what is now Môle - Saint - Nicolas , Haiti , in December 1492 . European colonization of the island began in earnest the following year , when 1,300 men arrived from Spain under the watch of Bartolomeo Columbus . In 1496 the town of Nueva Isabela was founded . After being destroyed by a hurricane , it was rebuilt on the opposite side of the Ozama River and called Santo Domingo . It is the oldest permanent European settlement in the Americas . Chiefdoms of Hispaniola Several 16th century writers estimated the 1492 population of Hispaniola at over 1 million people . Twentieth - century estimates of the figure range from 60,000 to 8,000,000 , but center around the 500,000 to 1,000,000 range . Harsh enslavement by Spanish colonists , redirection of food supplies and labor towards the colonists , had a devastating impact on both mortality and fertility over the first quarter century . Colonial administrators and Dominican and Hyeronimite priests observed that the search for gold and agrarian enslavement through the encomienda system were depressing population . Demographic data from two provinces in 1514 shows a low birth rate consistent with a 3.5 % annual population decline . Just 14,000 Taínos survived in 1517 . In 1503 the colony began to import African slaves , believing them more capable of performing physical labor . The first documented outbreak of smallpox , previously an Eastern hemisphere disease , on Hispaniola occurred in December 1518 among enslaved African miners . Some scholars speculate that European diseases arrived before this date , but there is no compelling evidence for an outbreak . The natives had no immunity to European diseases , including smallpox . By May 1519 , as many as one - third of the remaining Taínos had died . Christopher Columbus brought sugar cane on his second voyage to the island . Molasses was the chief product . Diego Colon 's plantation had 40 African slaves in 1522 . By 1526 , 19 mills were in operation from Azua to Santo Domingo . In 1574 , a census taken of the Greater Antilles reported 1,000 Spaniards and 12,000 African slaves on Hispaniola . As Spain conquered new regions on the mainland of the Americas ( Spanish Main ) , its interest in Hispaniola waned , and the colony 's population grew slowly . By the early 17th century , the island and its smaller neighbors ( notably Tortuga ) became regular stopping points for Caribbean pirates . In 1606 , the government of Philip III ordered all inhabitants of Hispaniola to move close to Santo Domingo , to avoid interaction with pirates . Rather than secure the island , his action meant that French , English and Dutch pirates established their own bases on the abandoned north and west coasts of the island . French map of Hispaniola by Nicolas de Fer In 1665 , French colonization of the island was officially recognized by King Louis XIV . The French colony was given the name Saint - Domingue . In the 1697 Treaty of Ryswick , Spain formally ceded the western third of the island to France . Saint - Domingue quickly came to overshadow the east in both wealth and population . Nicknamed the `` Pearl of the Antilles , '' it became the richest and most prosperous colony in the West Indies , with a system of human enslavement used to grow and harvest sugar cane , during a time when demand for sugar was high in Europe . Slavery kept prices low and profit was maximized at the expense of human lives . It was an important port in the Americas for goods and products flowing to and from France and Europe . With the treaty of Peace of Basel , revolutionary France emerged as a major European power . In the second 1795 Treaty of Basel ( July 22 ) , Spain ceded the eastern two - thirds of the island of Hispaniola , later to become the Dominican Republic . French settlers had begun to colonize some areas in the Spanish side of the territory . European colonists often died young due to tropical fevers , as well as from violent slave resistance in the late eighteenth century . When the French Revolution abolished slavery in the colonies on February 4 , 1794 , it was a European first , and when Napoleon reimposed slavery in 1802 it led to a major upheaval by the emancipated black slaves . Thousands of the French troops sent by Napoleon to reestablish slavery succumbed to yellow fever during the summer months , and more than half of the French army died because of disease . After the French removed the surviving 7,000 troops in late 1803 , the leaders of the revolution declared western Hispaniola the new nation of independent Haiti in early 1804 . France continued to rule Spanish Santo Domingo . In 1805 , Haitian troops of General Henri Christophe tried to conquer all of Hispaniola . They invaded Santo Domingo and sacked the towns of Santiago de los Caballeros and Moca , killing most of their residents , but news of a French fleet sailing towards Haiti forced General Christophe to return to Haiti , leaving the eastern Spanish side of the island in French hands . In 1808 , following Napoleon 's invasion of Spain , the criollos of Santo Domingo revolted against French rule and , with the aid of the United Kingdom ( Spain 's ally ) returned Santo Domingo to Spanish control . Fearing the influence of a society that had successfully fought and won against their enslavers , the United States and European powers refused to recognize Haiti , the second republic in the western hemisphere . France demanded a high payment for compensation to slaveholders who lost their property , and Haiti was saddled with unmanageable debt for decades . It became one of the poorest countries in the Americas , while the Dominican Republic gradually has developed into the largest economy of Central America and the Caribbean . Geography ( edit ) See also : Geography of Haiti and Geography of the Dominican Republic Topographic map of Hispaniola Hispaniola is the second - largest island in the Caribbean ( after Cuba ) , with an area of 76,192 square kilometers ( 29,418 sq mi ) , 48,440 square kilometers ( 18,700 sq mi ) of which is under the sovereignty of the Dominican Republic occupying the eastern portion and 27,750 square kilometers ( 10,710 sq mi ) under the sovereignty of Haiti occupying the western portion . The island of Cuba lies 80 kilometers ( 50 mi ) to the northwest across the Windward Passage ; to the southwest lies Jamaica , separated by the Jamaica Channel . Puerto Rico lies east of Hispaniola across the Mona Passage . The Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands lie to the north . Its westernmost point is known as Cap Carcasse . Cuba , Hispaniola , Jamaica , and Puerto Rico are collectively known as the Greater Antilles . The island has five major mountain ranges : The Central Range , known in the Dominican Republic as the Cordillera Central , spans the central part of the island , extending from the south coast of the Dominican Republic into northwestern Haiti , where it is known as the Massif du Nord . This mountain range boasts the highest peak in the Antilles , Pico Duarte at 3,098 meters ( 10,164 ft ) above sea level . The Cordillera Septentrional runs parallel to the Central Range across the northern end of the Dominican Republic , extending into the Atlantic Ocean as the Samaná Peninsula . The Cordillera Central and Cordillera Septentrional are separated by the lowlands of the Cibao Valley and the Atlantic coastal plains , which extend westward into Haiti as the Plaine du Nord ( Northern Plain ) . The lowest of the ranges is the Cordillera Oriental , in the eastern part of the country . The Sierra de Neiba rises in the southwest of the Dominican Republic , and continues northwest into Haiti , parallel to the Cordillera Central , as the Montagnes Noires , Chaîne des Matheux and the Montagnes du Trou d'Eau . The Plateau Central lies between the Massif du Nord and the Montagnes Noires , and the Plaine de l'Artibonite lies between the Montagnes Noires and the Chaîne des Matheux , opening westward toward the Gulf of Gonâve , the largest gulf of the Antilles . The southern range begins in the southwestern most Dominican Republic as the Sierra de Bahoruco , and extends west into Haiti as the Massif de la Selle and the Massif de la Hotte , which form the mountainous spine of Haiti 's southern peninsula . Pic de la Selle is the highest peak in the southern range , the third highest peak in the Antilles and consequently the highest point in Haiti , at 2,680 meters ( 8,790 ft ) above sea level . A depression runs parallel to the southern range , between the southern range and the Chaîne des Matheux - Sierra de Neiba . It is known as the Plaine du Cul - de-Sac in Haiti , and Haiti 's capital Port - au - Prince lies at its western end . The depression is home to a chain of salt lakes , including Lake Azuei in Haiti and Lake Enriquillo in the Dominican Republic . The island has four distinct ecoregions . The Hispaniolan moist forests ecoregion covers approximately 50 % of the island , especially the northern and eastern portions , predominantly in the lowlands but extending up to 2,100 meters ( 6,900 ft ) elevation . The Hispaniolan dry forests ecoregion occupies approximately 20 % of the island , lying in the rain shadow of the mountains in the southern and western portion of the island and in the Cibao valley in the center - north of the island . The Hispaniolan pine forests occupy the mountainous 15 % of the island , above 850 metres ( 2,790 ft ) elevation . The flooded grasslands and savannas ecoregion in the south central region of the island surrounds a chain of lakes and lagoons in which the most notable include that of Lake Azuei and Trou Caïman in Haiti and the nearby Lake Enriquillo in the Dominican Republic . Fauna ( edit ) There are many bird species in Hispaniola , and the island 's amphibian species are also diverse . Flora ( edit ) The island has four distinct ecoregions . The Hispaniolan moist forests ecoregion covers approximately 50 % of the island , especially the northern and eastern portions , predominantly in the lowlands but extending up to 2,100 meters ( 6,900 ft ) elevation . The Hispaniolan dry forests ecoregion occupies approximately 20 % of the island , lying in the rain shadow of the mountains in the southern and western portion of the island and in the Cibao valley in the center - north of the island . The Hispaniolan pine forests occupy the mountainous 15 % of the island , above 850 metres ( 2,790 ft ) elevation . The flooded grasslands and savannas ecoregion in the south central region of the island surrounds a chain of lakes and lagoons in which the most notable include that of Lake Azuei and Trou Caïman in Haiti and the nearby Lake Enriquillo in the Dominican Republic . Satellite image depicting the border between Haiti ( left ) and the Dominican Republic ( right ) In Haiti , deforestation has long been cited by scientists as a source of ecological crisis ; the timber industry dates back to French colonial rule . Haiti has seen a dramatic reduction of forests due to the excessive and increasing use of charcoal as fuel for cooking . Recent in - depth studies of satellite imagery and environmental analysis regarding forest classification conclude an accurate estimate of approximately 30 % tree cover , a stark decrease in the 60 % forest cover in 1925 . Despite recent in - depth studies , the notoriously unsubstantiated 2 % forest cover estimate has been widely circulated in media and in discourse concerning the country . Despite the drastic underestimation of Haiti 's forest cover , the country has been significantly deforested over the last 50 years , resulting in the desertification of portions of the Haitian territory . In the Dominican Republic the forest cover has increased . In 2003 the Dominican forest cover had been reduced to 32 % of the territory , but in 2011 the trend towards reducing reverts to increase forest cover by eight percentage points to stand at nearly 40 % of territory . The success of the Dominican forest growth is due to several Dominican government policies and private organizations for the purpose , and a strong educational campaign that has resulted in increased awareness on the Dominican people of the importance of forests for their welfare and in other forms of life on the island . Climate ( edit ) Cordillera Central , Dominican Republic Owing to its mountainous topography , Hispaniola 's climate shows considerable variation over short distances , and is the most varied of all the Antilles . Except in the Northern Hemisphere summer season , the predominant winds over Hispaniola are the northeast trade winds . As in Jamaica and Cuba , these winds deposit their moisture on the northern mountains , and create a distinct rain shadow on the southern coast , where some areas receive as little as 400 millimetres ( 16 in ) of rainfall , and have semi-arid climates . Annual rainfall under 600 millimetres ( 24 in ) also occurs on the southern coast of Haiti 's northwest peninsula and in the central Azúa region of the Plaine du Cul - de-Sac . In these regions , moreover , there is generally little rainfall outside hurricane season from August to October , and droughts are by no means uncommon when hurricanes do not come . Les Cayes , Sud , Haiti On the northern coast , in contrast , rainfall may peak between December and February , though some rain falls in all months of the year . Annual amounts typically range from 1,700 to 2,000 millimetres ( 67 to 79 in ) on the northern coastal lowlands ; there is probably much more in the Cordillera Septentrional , though no data exist . The interior of Hispaniola , along with the southeastern coast centred around Santo Domingo , typically receives around 1,400 millimetres ( 55 in ) per year , with a distinct wet season from May to October . Usually , this wet season has two peaks : one around May , the other around the hurricane season . In the interior highlands , rainfall is much greater , around 3,100 millimetres ( 120 in ) per year , but with a similar pattern to that observed in the central lowlands . As is usual for tropical islands , variations of temperature are much less marked than rainfall variations , and depend only on altitude . Lowland Hispaniola is generally oppressively hot and humid , with temperatures averaging 28 ° C ( 82 ° F ) . with high humidity during the daytime , and around 20 ° C ( 68 ° F ) at night . At higher altitudes , temperatures fall steadily , so that frosts occur during the dry season on the highest peaks , where maxima are no higher than 18 ° C ( 64 ° F ) . Demographics ( edit ) The Dominican Republic is a Hispanophone nation of approximately 10 million people . Spanish is spoken by all Dominicans as a primary language . Roman Catholicism is the official and dominant religion . Haiti is a Francophone nation of roughly 10 million people . Although French is spoken as a primary language by the educated and wealthy minority , virtually the entire population speaks Haitian Creole , one of several French - derived creole languages . Roman Catholicism is the dominant religion , practiced by more than half the population , although in some cases in combination with Haitian Vodou faith . Another 25 % of the populace belong to Protestant churches . Haiti emerged as the first Black republic in the world . Ethnic composition ( edit ) The ethnic composition of the Dominican population is 73 % mixed ( African / European ) , 16 % white and 11 % black . The ethnic composition of Haiti is estimated to be 95 % black , 5 % white and mixed . Economics ( edit ) The island has the largest economy in the Greater Antilles , however most of the economic development is found in the Dominican Republic , the Dominican economy being nearly 800 % larger than the Haitian economy . The estimated annual per capita income is US $1,300 in Haiti and US $8,200 in Dominican Republic . The divergence between the level of economic development between Haiti and Dominican Republic makes its border the higher contrast of all western land borders and is evident that the Dominican Republic has one of the highest migration issues in the Americas .

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

Mescalero

Mescalero - wikipedia Mescalero Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the Native American tribe . For other uses , see Mescalero ( disambiguation ) . Mescalero Apache Mescalero Apache Tribal Administrative Offices and Community Center in Mescalero , New Mexico Total population 5,130 Regions with significant populations Languages Mescalero , English , Spanish Religion Indigenous Religion , mescalero Related ethnic groups Western Apache , San Carlos Apache , White Mountain Apache , Navajo Mescalero or Mescalero Apache is an Apache tribe of Southern Athabaskan Native Americans . The tribe is federally recognized as the Mescalero Apache Tribe of the Mescalero Apache Reservation , located in south central New Mexico . In the nineteenth century , the Mescalero opened their reservation to other Apache bands , such as the Mimbreno and the Chiricahua , many of whom had been imprisoned in Florida . The Lipan Apache also joined the reservation . Their descendants are enrolled in the Mescalero Apache Tribe .

Originally established on May 27 , 1873 , by Executive Order of President Ulysses S. Grant , the reservation was first located near Fort Stanton . The present reservation was established in 1883 . It has a land area of 1,862.463 km2 ( 719.101 sq mi ) , almost entirely in Otero County . The 463,000 - acre reservation lies on the eastern flank of the Sacramento Mountains and borders the Lincoln National Forest . A small unpopulated section is in Lincoln County just southwest of Ruidoso . U.S. Route 70 is the major highway through the reservation . The tribe has an economy based largely on ranching and tourism . The mountains and foothills are forested with pines ; resource and commercial development is managed carefully by the Mescalero Apache Tribal Council . The Mescalero Apache developed a cultural center near the tribal headquarters on U.S. Route 70 in the reservation 's largest community of Mescalero . On display are tribal artifacts and important historical information . The tribe also operates another , larger museum on the western flank of the Sacramento Mountains in Dog Canyon , south of Alamogordo . The tribe developed and owns the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino ( `` IMG '' ) within Lincoln National Forest . As part of the IMG operation , the tribe also owns and manages Ski Apache under contract as a concession with the US Forest Service . It is the southernmost major ski area in North America . In January 2012 , Ski Apache celebrated its 50th anniversary . The ski area is situated adjacent to the massive peak of Sierra Blanca a 12,003 - foot ( 3,659 m ) mountain . It is the southernmost alpine peak in the Continental United States and is part of the Sacramento Mountains . Using the EPA 's Level III Ecoregion System , derived from Omernik , this mountain is included in the `` Arizona / New Mexico Mountains , '' which is south of the `` Southern Rocky Mountains '' of northern New Mexico . Sierra Blanca peak , located on the reservation , is sacred ground for the Mescalero Apache Tribe . They do not allow access without a permit . Tribal government ( edit ) The Mescalero Apache Tribe holds elections for the office of president every two years . The eight Tribal Council members also are elected for two years . Election for the Council is held every year , when one half of the members are up for reelection . The reservation had a population of 3,156 according to the 2000 census . In 1959 , the tribe elected Virginia Klinekole as its first woman president . She later was elected to the Tribal Council , serving on it until 1986 . The tribe repeatedly re-elected Wendell Chino as president ; he served a total of 43 years , until his death on November 4 , 1998 . Soon after Chino 's death , the late Sara Misquez was elected as president . Chino 's son , Mark Chino , also has been elected and served as president . New officers have served in the 21st century . On January 11 , 2008 Carleton Naiche - Palmer was sworn in as the new president of the Mescalero Apache tribe . From 2014 to 2018 , Danny Breuninger was President of the Mescalero Apache Tribe . Currently serving in the Office of President is Arthur `` Butch '' Blazer . Gabe Aguilar has been Vice President of the Mescalero Apache Tribe since 2014 . Culture and language ( edit ) This section needs expansion with : section . You can help by adding to it . ( October 2010 ) The Mescalero language is a Southern Athabaskan language which is a subfamily of the Athabaskan and Dené -- Yeniseian families . Mescalero is part of the southwestern branch of this subfamily ; it is very closely related to Chiricahua , and more distantly related to Western Apache . These are considered the three dialects of Apachean . Although Navajo is a related Southern Athabaskan language , its language and culture are considered distinct from those of the Apache . The Mescalero Apache were primarily a nomadic mountain people . They traveled east on the arid plains to hunt the buffalo and south into the desert for gathering Mescal Agave . Spanish colonists associated them with this plant and named them Mescalero Apache . The Mescalero Apache , along with the other Apache groups , lived by traditional hunting and gathering . If conditions were poor , they raided other tribes , and Spanish , Mexican and American settlers to survive . Origin of name ( edit ) The Mescalero 's autonym , or name for themselves , is Shis - Inday ( `` People of the Mountain Forests '' ) or Mashgalénde ( `` People close to the mountains '' ) . The Navajo , another Athabascan - speaking tribe , call the Mescalero Naashgalí Dineʼé . Like other Apache peoples they often identify simply as Inday / Indee ( `` The People '' ) . Neighboring Apache bands called the Mescalero Nadahéndé ( `` People of the Mescal '' ) , because the mescal agave ( Agave parryi ) was a staple food source for them . In times of need and hunger , they depended on stored mescal for survival . Since 1550 Spanish colonists referred to them as the Mescalero . Mescalero Apache bands were often referred to by European colonists and settlers by different names , some related to their geographic territory . They were recorded in documents by a wide number of names : Apaches de Cuartelejo , Apaches del Río Grande , Apachi , Faraones , Mezcaleros , Natage ( more correctly , one of the Lipan Apache subdivisions , along with the Nahizan ) , Natahene , Querechos , Teyas , Tularosa Apaches , and Vaqueros . They were also distinguished as Sierra Blanca Apaches , Sacramento Mountains Apaches , Guadalupe Mountains Apaches , Limpia Mountains Apaches . according to their homelands in northern or southern Mescalero territory . Tribal territory ( edit ) Originally the different Mescalero bands and local groups ranged in an area between the Rio Grande in the west and the eastern and southern edge of the Llano Estacado and the southern Texas Panhandle in Texas in the east ; from present - day Santa Fe in the northwest and the Texas Panhandle in the northeast , down to the Big Bend of Texas and what became the Mexican provinces of Chihuahua and Coahuila to the south . The diverse landscape of this area has high mountains up to 12,000 feet , as well as watered and sheltered valleys , surrounded by arid semi-deserts and deserts , deep canyons and open plains . The Mescalero Apache Reservation is located at geographical coordinates 33 ° 10 ′ 42 '' N 105 ° 36 ′ 44 '' W  /  33.17833 ° N 105.61222 ° W  / 33.17833 ; - 105.61222 . Since each band of Mescalero had the right to use the resources of deer and plants of the neighboring groups , the different bands felt at home in any area of their wide tribal territory . The Mescalero bands often ranged widely for hunting , gathering , warring and raiding . They called their home Indeislun Nakah ( `` people , forming a group , when they are there , '' `` place where people get together '' ) . When many Mescalero bands were displaced by the enemy Comanche from the Southern Plains in northern and central Texas between 1700 -- 1750 , they took refuge in the mountains of New Mexico , western Texas , and Coahuila and Chihuahua in Mexico . Some southern Mescalero bands , together with Lipan , lived in the Bolsón de Mapimí , moving between the Nazas River , the Conchos River and the Rio Grande to the north . Bands ( edit ) Mescalero painted boy ; photo entitled Long Walk of the Navajo . After being defeated by United States military forces , most of the Navajo were marched over 350 - mile ( 560 km ) during the winter of 1864 and incarcerated at Bosque Redondo , New Mexico with the Mescalero Apache . Natahéndé / Nadahéndé ( Spanish rendering - translteration - as Natages , pronounced Na - ta - hay , `` Mescal People '' ; lived between Rio Grande and Pecos River in central New Mexico , with local groups traveling on the southern and western edge of the Llano Estacado onto the southern Texas Panhandle ) Guhlkahéndé / Guułgahénde ( Spanish rendering as Cuelcajenne , `` People of the Plains '' ; lived east of the mountains and the Pecos River , on the High Plains from the Texas Panhandle to the Pecos Valley , between Amarillo , Tucumcari , Lubbock and the Llano Estacado , along the Sandia and Tijeras Mountains westward to Santa Fe , from Nogal Canyon to the north to Las Vegas , from the Organ Mountains eastwards to El Paso . In Oklahoma ( Indian Territory ) they developed kinship ties by marriage with the Comanche . ) Dzithinahndé / Tsilnihéndé ( Spanish rendering as Chilpaines , `` Mountain Ridge Band People '' , lived in the mountains west and south of the Pecos River , extending in northern Chihuahua and Coahuila of present - day Mexico . ) Ch'laandé / Tslahahéndé ( `` Antelope Band People '' ; lived west of the Pecos west to the Rio Grande in the mountains of central and south New Mexico and the Tularosa Basin . ) Nit'ahéndé / Niit'ahénde ( `` People Who Live Against the Mountains '' , `` Earth Crevine ( Deer ) People '' ; lived in the Sacramento Mountains in New Mexico and the Guadalupe Mountains in western Texas . ) Tsehitcihéndé ( `` People of Hook Nose '' , several bands , who lived in the Guadalupe Mountains , the adjacent Plains of Texas and in northern Coahuila and Chihuahua of Mexico . ) Tsebekinéndé ( `` Rock House People '' , often called by Spanish and Americans Aguas Nuevas or Norteños , have been based around the Nuevo Casas Grandes in Chihuahua , migrating north toward the Sacramento Mountains and south to Agua Nueva 60 miles north of Chihuahua City , also on both sides of the Rio Grande between El Paso and Ojinaga , Chihuahua ; some local groups lived in the Guadalupe and Limpia mountains ) Tahuundé / Tá'huú'ndé ( `` Mountains Extending into the River People '' , lived on both sides of the Pecos River in southern New Mexico and into southwestern Texas ) Tuintsundé / Túntsande ( `` Big Water People '' , once the Tú sis Ndé band of the Lipan Apache , who lived in south central Texas and in northern Coahuila , camping together with several bands of the Mescalero on the Plains for hunting and raiding ; they merged with the Mescalero , forming a Mescalero band ) Tuetinini / Tú'é'dinénde ( `` No Water People '' , `` Tough People of the Desert '' , once the Tú é diné Ndé band of the Lipan Apache , who had territory in northern Coahuila and Chihuahua ; they eventually merged with some southern Mescalero bands ) The Natahéndé had had a considerable influence on the decision - making of some bands of the Western Lipan in the 18th century , especially on the Tindi Ndé , Tcha shka - ózhäye , Tú é diné Ndé and Tú sis Ndé . To fight their common enemy , the Comanche , and to protect the northeastern and eastern border of the Apacheria against the Comancheria , the Mescalero ( Natahéndé and Guhlkahéndé ) on the Plains joined forces with their Lipan kin ( Cuelcahen Ndé , Te'l kóndahä , Ndáwe qóhä and Shá i ` a Nde ) to the east and south of them . In August 1912 , by an act of the U.S. Congress , the surviving members of the Chiricahua tribe were released from their prisoner - of - war status . They were given the choice to remain at Fort Sill , Oklahoma , where they had been imprisoned since ? , or to relocate to the Mescalero Apache reservation . One hundred and eighty - three elected to go to New Mexico , while seventy - eight remained in Oklahoma . Their descendants still reside in both places . Notable Mescalero ( edit ) Historical chiefs and headmen ( edit ) Gorgonia , Sierrablanca Mescalero medicine man Gorgonio , northern Mescalero medicine - man , aide to old Barranquito and , later , to Santana . Gómez , southern Mescalero chief who led a large band of five local groups with about 400 warriors . His band lived in the Big Bend Country and the Trans - Pecos on both sides of the Rio Grande ; his stronghold was in the Limpia Mountains , later named Davis Mountains . When Governor Trias offered 1,000 pesos for his scalp , Gómez offered an equal amount for any Mexican or American scalp . His segundos - or war chiefs - were Cigarito , Chinonero , Simón Porode , and Simón Manuel . Cigarito , leader of a local group in the Limpia also known as Davis Mountains and in the lowlands of the Trans - Pecos ; segundo and war chief of southern Mescalero Chief Gómez , 1840s - 1860s Chinonero , leader of a local group in the Limpia also known as Davis Mountains and in the lowlands of the Trans - Pecos ; segundo and war chief of southern Mescalero chief Gómez , 1840s - 1860s ) Simón Porode , leader of a local group in West - Texas ; segundo and war chief of southern Mescalero chief Gómez . In 1850 he and Simón Manuel contacted the garrison at San Elizario to sue for peace , but were likely overruled by Gómez , 1840s - 1860s . Simón Manuel , leader of a local group in West - Texas ; segundo and war chief of southern Mescalero chief Gómez . In 1850 he and leader Simón Porode contacted the garrison at San Elizario to sue for peace , but were likely overruled by Gómez , 1840s - 1860s ) Marco ( also known as Marcus ) southern Mescalero chief who led a band of about 600 people , including about 200 warriors - presumably Tsehitcihéndé or Niit'ahénde . They lived in the Big Bend Country , ranged on both sides of the Rio Grande from the Guadalupe Mountains toward east of the Limpia Mountains also known as Davis Mountains onto the edge of the Southern Plains . He was reported to have led frequent raids and attacks of parties on the San Antonio road and in the settlement near El Paso . He wished to join the Sierra Blanca Mescalero band , but their request was refused , because they were considered a Texas Mescalero band ; active in the 1840s - 1860s . Espejo ( `` looking - glass '' ) , southern Mescalero chief led a large band , presumably Tsebekinéndé , with several local groups under his segundos ( or war chiefs ) Nicolás and Antonio . They ranged between Limpia Canyon , Horsehead Crossing on the Pecos and east of the Limpia also known as Davis Mountains onto the surrounding desert lowlands of the Trans - Pecos in West Texas , from the 1840s - late 1860s .

Mateo leader of a local group of the Tsebekinéndé ( often called by Spanish and Americans Aguas Nuevas or Norteños ) , stayed together with Verancia in the vicinity of Dog Canyon in the Sacramento Mountains and presumably followed the old ways of hunt and raid , since they were considered `` troublesome . '' , 1840s - 1860s Verancia , said to be a son of Gomez , leader of a local group of the Tsebekinéndé , stayed together with Mateo in the vicinity of Dog Canyon in the Sacramento Mountains and presumably followed the old ways of hunt and raid , since they were considered `` troublesome . '' , 1840s - 1860s ) Barranquito ( also known as Palanquito ) , most influential chief of the Sierra Blanca Mescalero band , which ranged between the Sierra Blanca Mountains east toward the Pecos River , probably the most important Mescalero chief in the early 1800s , when he died in 1857 , his three sons and / or nephews Santana , Cadete and Roman succeeded him Santana ( also known as Santa Ana ) , ca . 1810 - † 1876 , son and successor of Barranquito , since about 1830 ' had been a local group leader of great authority of the Sierra Blanca Mescalero band , since the death of Barranquito Santana seem to have had the most influence within the northern Mescalero bands , but avoided the spotlight and was hardly known by the whites , in his later years he became the most steadfast friend of the whites , until his death of pneumonia or smallpox Cadete ( also known as Cadette - `` Volunteer '' , in Apache : Gian - na - tah ( `` Always Ready '' ) , also known as Zhee - es - not - son , Zhee Ah Nat Tsa ) , a son and successor of Barranquito . After Santana he was the most prominent and powerful chief of the Sierra Blanca Mescalero band , was more diplomatic than Santana and was a spokesman for the northern Mescalero bands . After the outbreak from Bosque Redondo on November 3 , 1863 , he had fled with his band toward the Staked Plains , trading stolen cattle and horses from Mexico directly or via the Comanchero to Comanche . He was murdered in 1872 while on a peace mission and returning from Tularosa . Roman Grande , a son and successor of Barranquito , serving as chief of a local group of the Sierra Blanca Mescalero band . Less important than Santana and Cadete , he followed the lead of his brother Santana ; died during an epidemic in 1885 . Josecito ( also known as José Cito ) , after Barranquito and Santana , the most prominent leader of some local groups of the Sierra Blanca Mescalero band . In April 1852 he signed a treaty with Calhoun representing the US , together with the minor leader of another group of the Sierra Blanca Mescalero and Chacon , leader of the Jicarilla Apache . Nautzili ( also known as Natzili , Nautzile , Nodzilla - `` buffalo '' ) , chief of the Guhlkahéndé and southern Lipan splinter groups living in northern Mexico , moved to reservation in 1876 . In 1879 he had assumed leadership of most of the Mescalero reservation bands ( including the Lipan ) and persuaded many warriors not to join the Tchihende chief Victorio in Victorio 's War .

in 1874 he promoted a council of Mescalero , Mimbreño and Lipan Apache chiefs , and Victorio succeeded in persuading the council to send peace messengers to the Comanches and Kiowas ; he was killed by a medicine man of his band in the spring 1876 Peso , ca . * 1849 - † 1929 , was born in the Guadalupe Mountains near present - day Carlsbad as son of chief San Juan and his wife Nagoo - nah - go , his band - maybe Nit'ahéndé or Tsehitcihéndé - joined Nautzili 's band of Guhlkahéndé on the Southern Plains , from time to time he also joined the Tu'sis Nde band of Lipan Apaches of southeastern Texas and northeastern Mexico under Chief Magoosh , he was an expert tracker and served as Apache Scout in the campaigns against Geronimo , in the late 1800s he , together with his brother Sin Miedo ( Sans Peur , Without Fear ) and Magoosh were the three primary leaders on the reservation - Magoosh for the Lipans at Elk Springs , Sin Miedo at Tule Canyon and Peso representing the Rinconada and the Three Rivers Sin Miedo ( `` Without Fear '' = `` Sans Peur '' ) , brother of chief Peso and son of chief San Juan , his band - maybe Nit'ahéndé or Tsehitcihéndé - were close allies of the eastern Mescalero band named Guhlkahéndé on the Southern Plains and of the Tu'sis Nde band of Lipan Apaches of southeastern Texas and northeastern Mexico ;

VLK Architects Structural engineer Walter P Moore Services engineer M -- E Engineers , Inc . General contractor Manhattan Construction Company Tenants Texas Rangers ( MLB ) ( 2020 -- ) planned Globe Life Field is a baseball park under construction in Arlington , Texas . It will serve as the home of the Texas Rangers of Major League Baseball . Globe Life and Accident Insurance Company , a subsidiary of McKinney , Texas - based Torchmark Corporation , owns the naming rights for the facility through 2048 . The new ballpark is going to be constructed across the street just south of Globe Life Park . On May 20 , 2016 , the Rangers announced that they would vacate Globe Life Park in Arlington . The new stadium will be constructed in a public / private partnership and have a retractable roof . The ballpark was approved on the following Election Day . HKS , Inc. was announced as the architect on January 5 , 2017 . The Rangers cited weather as the reason attendances at Globe Life Park are lower than in other baseball stadiums in major metropolitan areas , since it is prone to high temperatures and rain delays . Therefore , the Rangers are proposing their new ballpark be constructed with a roof . Unlike its predecessors , the new stadium 's center - field will face northeast , instead of southeast . In 2008 , the NFL 's Dallas Cowboys managed to move to a retractable roof stadium due to the frequent hot weather in the Metroplex . The venue opened in time for the 2009 season . The preliminary 3D renderings and artwork of the new stadium show the design to be very similar to the looks and layout of Minute Maid Park , the Houston Astros ' stadium . Final designs have not been unveiled as of August 2017 . A new shopping mall , as well as a Loews Hotel , and a ballpark village are planned to go along with the new stadium . The Rangers have also planned to make Globe Life Park in Arlington part of the Texas Live ! complex . The plans to build the stadium have generated a mixed reaction . The new stadium will mean a more comfortable environment to watch baseball but will extend existing taxes used to pay for AT&T Stadium . According to The Dallas Morning News , `` The deal calls for the city to issue $500 million in bonds to help pay for the stadium . A half - cent of sales tax , 2 percent hotel occupancy tax and 5 percent car rental tax would pay off those bonds over an estimated 30 years . Voters also approved a ticket tax of up to 10 percent and parking tax of up to $3 at the new stadium . That money would be used for some of the Rangers ' portion of the debt , which was criticized by the opposition campaign .

It was developed by Larry Gelbart , adapted from the 1970 feature film M * A * S * H , which , in turn , was based on Richard Hooker 's 1968 novel MASH : A Novel About Three Army Doctors . The series , which was produced with 20th Century Fox Television for CBS , follows a team of doctors and support staff stationed at the `` 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital '' in Uijeongbu , South Korea , during the Korean War ( 1950 -- 53 ) . The show 's title sequence features an instrumental - only version of `` Suicide Is Painless '' , the original film 's theme song . The show was created after an attempt to film the original book 's sequel , M * A * S * H Goes to Maine , failed . The television series is the best - known of the M * A * S * H works , and one of the highest - rated shows in US television history .

The series is usually categorized as a situation comedy , though it has also been described as a `` dark comedy '' or a `` dramedy '' because of the often dramatic subject matter . The show is an ensemble piece revolving around key personnel in a United States Army Mobile Army Surgical Hospital ( MASH ) in the Korean War ( 1950 -- 53 ) . ( The asterisks in the name are not part of military nomenclature and were creatively introduced in the novel and used in only the posters for the movie version , not the actual movie . ) The `` 4077th MASH '' was one of several surgical units in Korea . While the show is traditionally viewed as a comedy , many episodes had a more serious tone . Airing on network prime time while the Vietnam War was still going on , the show was forced to walk the fine line of commenting on that war while at the same time not seeming to protest it . For this reason , the show 's discourse , under the cover of comedy , often questioned , mocked , and grappled with America 's role in the Cold War . Episodes were both plot - and character - driven , with several narrated by one of the show 's characters as the contents of a letter home . The show 's tone could move from silly to sobering from one episode to the next , with dramatic tension often occurring between the civilian draftees of 4077th -- Hawkeye , Trapper John , and B.J. Hunnicutt , for example -- who are forced to leave their homes to tend the wounded and dying of the war , and the `` regular Army '' characters , such as Margaret Houlihan and Colonel Potter , who tend to represent patriotism and duty ( though Houlihan and Potter could also represent the other perspective at times ) . Other characters , such as Col. Blake , Maj . Winchester , and Cpl . Klinger , help demonstrate various American civilian attitudes toward army life , while guest characters played by such actors as Eldon Quick , Herb Voland , Mary Wickes , and Tim O'Connor also help further the show 's discussion of America 's place as Cold War warmaker and peacemaker . Characters ( edit ) Main cast ( edit ) Main article : List of M * A * S * H characters See also : List of M * A * S * H cast members M * A * S * H maintained a relatively constant ensemble cast , with four characters -- Hawkeye , Father Mulcahy , Margaret Houlihan , and Maxwell Klinger -- on the show for all 11 seasons . Several other main characters departed or joined the program during its run , and numerous guest actors and recurring characters were used . The writers found creating so many names difficult , and used names from elsewhere ; for example , characters on the seventh season were named after the 1978 Los Angeles Dodgers .

The cast of M * A * S * H from season 8 onwards ( clockwise from left ) : Mike Farrell , William Christopher , Jamie Farr , David Ogden Stiers , Loretta Swit , Alan Alda , and Harry Morgan Production ( edit ) Writing ( edit ) As the series progressed , it made a significant shift from being primarily a comedy with dramatic undertones to a drama with comedic undertones . This was a result of changes in writing and production staff , rather than the cast defections of McLean Stevenson , Larry Linville , Wayne Rogers and Gary Burghoff . Series co-creator and joke writer Larry Gelbart departed after Season 4 , the first featuring Mike Farrell and Harry Morgan . This resulted in Farrell and Morgan having only a single season reading scripts featuring Gelbart 's masterful comic timing , which defined the feel and rhythm of Seasons 1 -- 4 featuring predecessors Rogers and Stevenson , respectively . Larry Linville ( the show 's comic foil ) and Executive Producer Gene Reynolds both departed at the conclusion of Season 5 in 1977 , resulting in M * A * S * H being fully stripped of its original tight comedic foundation by the beginning of Season 6 -- the debut of the Charles Winchester era . Whereas Gelbart and Reynolds were the comedic voice of M * A * S * H for the show 's first five seasons ( 1972 -- 1977 ) , Alan Alda and newly promoted Executive Producer Burt Metcalfe became the new dramatic voice of M * A * S * H for Seasons 6 -- 11 . By the start of Season 8 ( 1979 -- 1980 ) , the writing staff had been completely overhauled , and with the departure of Gary Burghoff , M * A * S * H displayed a distinctively different feel , consciously moving between comedy and drama , unlike the seamless integration of its first five years . The end of the Vietnam War in 1975 was a significant factor as to why storylines become less political in nature and more character driven . Several episodes also experimented with the sitcom format : `` Point of View '' -- shown from the perspective of a soldier with a throat wound `` Dreams '' -- an idea of Alda 's , where during a deluge of casualties , members of the 4077 take naps on a rotation basis , allowing the viewer to see the simultaneously lyrical and disturbing dreams `` A War For All Seasons '' -- features a storyline that takes place over the course of 1951 `` Life Time '' -- a precursor to the American television series 24 , it utilizes the real time method of narration Another change was the infusion of story lines based on actual events and medical developments that materialized during the Korean War . Considerable research was done by the producers , including interviews with actual MASH surgeons and personnel to develop story lines rooted in the war itself . Such early 1950s events as the McCarthy era , various sporting events , and the stardom of Marilyn Monroe were all incorporated into various episodes , a trend that continued until the end of the series . While the series remained popular through these changes , it eventually began to run out of creative steam . Korean War doctors regularly contacted producers with experiences that they thought might make for a good storyline , only to learn the idea had previously been used . Harry Morgan admitted that he felt `` the cracks were starting to show '' by season 9 ( 1980 -- 1981 ) . Alda wished to make season 10 ( 1981 - 1982 ) M * A * S * H 's last , but was persuaded by CBS to produce a slightly shortened 11th season , coupled with a farewell movie finale , because CBS refused to let the show go away so easily . In the end , season 11 had 15 episodes ( although six had been filmed during season 10 and held over ) and a 2 - 1 / 2 hour movie , which was treated as five episodes and was filmed before the nine remaining episodes . The final episode ever produced was the penultimate episode `` As Time Goes By '' . The series finale movie , titled `` Goodbye , Farewell and Amen '' , became the most - watched television broadcast in history , tallying a total of 125 million viewers . Set location ( edit ) M * A * S * H site in Malibu Creek State Park . Hulk of a Dodge WC54 ambulance . Copy of the original M * A * S * H signpost was installed on the site in 2008 . The 4077th consisted of two separate sets . An outdoor set in the mountains near Malibu , California ( Calabasas , Los Angeles County , California ) was used for most exterior and tent scenes for every season . This was the same set used to shoot the movie . The indoor set , on a sound stage at Fox Studios in Century City , was used for the indoor scenes for the run of the series . Later , after the indoor set was renovated to permit many of the `` outdoor '' scenes to be filmed there , both sets were used for exterior shooting as script requirements dictated ( e.g. , night scenes were far easier to film on the sound stage , but scenes at the chopper pad required using the ranch ) . Just as the series was wrapping production , a brush fire destroyed most of the outdoor set on October 9 , 1982 . The fire was written into the final episode as a forest fire caused by enemy incendiary bombs that forced the 4077th to bug out . The Malibu location is today known as Malibu Creek State Park . Formerly called the Century Ranch and owned by 20th Century Fox Studios until the 1980s , the site today is returning to a natural state , and is marked by a rusted Jeep and an ambulance used in the show . Through the 1990s , the area was occasionally used for television commercial production . On February 23 , 2008 , series stars Mike Farrell , Loretta Swit and William Christopher ( along with producers Gene Reynolds and Burt Metcalfe and M * A * S * H director Charles S. Dubin ) reunited at the set to celebrate its partial restoration . The rebuilt signpost is now displayed on weekends , along with tent markers and maps and photos of the set . The state park is open to the public . It was also the location where the film How Green Was My Valley ( 1941 ) and the Planet of the Apes television series ( 1974 ) were filmed , among other productions . Smithsonian exhibit ( edit ) The operating room set on display in the National Museum of American History as part of the `` MASH : Binding Up the Wounds '' exhibit in 1983 The exhibit M * A * S * H : Binding Up the Wounds was at the National Museum of American History from July 30 , 1983 through February 3 , 1985 . The exhibit was extremely popular drawing more than 17,000 in a single week , a record for any Smithsonian display . On exhibit were The Swamp and Operating Room sets , one of the show 's 14 Emmy Awards , early drafts of the pilot script , costumes from the show and other memorabilia . Sets were decorated with props from the show including the iconic signpost , Hawkeye 's still and Major Winchester 's Webcor tape recorder and phonograph . The exhibit also encouraged visitors to compare the show to real Mobile Army Surgical Hospitals of the Korean and the Vietnam Wars . Radar 's teddy bear , originally found at the ranch set , was never on display at the Smithsonian . Following completion of production , the prop was kept by the show 's set designer . It was sold several times including to Burghoff himself . It was sold at auction on July 29 , 2005 for $11,800 , it sold again on March 27 , 2015 for $14,307.50 after 19 bids . Content ( edit ) M * A * S * H was one of the first network series to feature brief partial nudity ( notably Gary Burghoff 's buttocks in `` The Sniper '' and Hawkeye in one of the `` Dear Dad '' episodes ) . A different innovation was the show 's producers ' desire not to have a laugh track , contrary to the network 's desire to have one . They compromised by omitting laughter in the scenes set in the operating room . The DVD releases of the series allow viewers to select an audio version with no laugh track . In his blog , writer Ken Levine revealed that on one occasion , when the cast offered too many nitpicking `` notes '' on a script , his writing partner and he changed the script to a `` cold show '' -- one set during the frigid Korean winter . The cast then had to stand around barrel fires in parkas at the Malibu ranch when the temperatures neared 100 ° F ( 38 ° C ) . Levine says , `` This happened maybe twice , and we never got a ticky - tack note again . '' Jackie Cooper wrote that Alan Alda , whom Cooper directed in several episodes during the first two seasons , concealed a lot of hostility beneath the surface , and the two of them barely spoke to each other by the time Cooper 's tenure on the show ended . Vehicles ( edit ) The helicopters used on the series were model H - 13 Sioux ( military designation and nickname of the Bell 47 civilian model ) . As in the film , some care seems to have been taken to use the correct model of the long - lived Bell 47 series . In the opening credits and many of the episodes , Korean War - vintage H - 13Ds and Es ( Bell 47D - 1s ) were used complete with period - correct external litters . A later ( 1954 -- 73 ) 47G occasionally made an appearance . The helicopters are similar in appearance ( with the later `` G '' models having larger two - piece fuel tanks , a slightly revised cabin , and other changes ) with differences noticeable only to a serious helicopter fan . In the pilot episode , a later Bell 47J ( production began in 1957 ) was shown flying Henry Blake to Seoul , en route to a meeting with General Hammond in Tokyo . A Sud Aviation Allouette II helicopter was also shown transporting Henry Blake to the 4077th in the episode `` Henry , Please Come Home '' . The Jeeps used were 1953 military M38 or civil CJ2A Willys Jeeps and also World War II Ford GPWs and Willys MB 's . Two episodes featured the M38A1 Jeep , one of which was stolen from a General by Radar and Hawkeye after their Jeep was stolen . Two of the ambulances were WC - 54 Dodges and one was a WC - 27 . A WC - 54 ambulance remains at the site and was burned in the Malibu fires on October 9 , 1982 , while a second WC - 27 survives at a South El Monte museum without any markings . The bus used to transport the wounded was a 1954 Ford model . In the last season , an M43 ambulance from the Korean War era also was used in conjunction with the WC - 54s and WC - 27 . Bell 47G helicopter in MASH colours . Burned Dodge ambulance at Malibu Creek State Park Burned Jeep ( most likely a CJ - 2A ) at Malibu Creek State Park Laugh track ( edit ) Series creators Larry Gelbart and Gene Reynolds wanted M * A * S * H broadcast without a laugh track . Though CBS initially rejected the idea , a compromise was reached that allowed for omitting the laughter during operating room scenes if desired . `` We told the network that under no circumstances would we ever can laughter during an OR scene when the doctors were working , '' said Gelbart in 1998 . `` It 's hard to imagine that 300 people were in there laughing at somebody 's guts being sewn up . '' Seasons 1 -- 5 utilized a more invasive laugh track ; a more subdued audience was employed for Seasons 6 -- 11 when the series shifted from sitcom to comedy - drama with the departure of Gelbart and Reynolds . Several episodes ( `` O.R. '' , `` The Bus '' , `` Quo Vadis , Captain Chandler ? '' , `` The Interview '' , `` Point of View '' and `` Dreams '' among them ) omitted the laugh track altogether ; as did almost all of Season 11 , including the 135 - minute series finale , `` Goodbye , Farewell and Amen '' . The laugh track is also omitted from some international and syndicated airings of the show ; on one occasion during an airing on BBC2 , the laugh track was accidentally left on , and viewers expressed their displeasure , an apology from the network for the `` technical difficulty '' was later released , as during its original run on BBC2 in the UK , it was shown without the laugh track . UK DVD critics speak poorly of the laugh track , stating `` canned laughter is intrusive at the best of times , but with a programme like M * A * S * H , it 's downright unbearable . '' On all released DVDs , both in Region 1 ( including the US and Canada ) and Region 2 ( Europe , including the UK ) , an option is given to watch the show with or without the laugh track . `` They 're a lie , '' said Gelbart in a 1992 interview . `` You 're telling an engineer when to push a button to produce a laugh from people who do n't exist . It 's just so dishonest . The biggest shows when we were on the air were All in the Family and The Mary Tyler Moore Show both of which were taped before a live studio audience where laughter made sense , '' continued Gelbart . `` But our show was a film show -- supposedly shot in the middle of Korea . So the question I always asked the network was , ' Who are these laughing people ? Where did they come from ? ' '' Gelbart persuaded CBS to test the show in private screenings with and without the laugh track . The results showed no measurable difference in the audience 's enjoyment . `` So you know what they said ? '' Gelbart said . `` ' Since there 's no difference , let 's leave it alone ! ' The people who defend laugh tracks have no sense of humor . '' Gelbart summed up the situation by saying , `` I always thought it cheapened the show . The network got their way . They were paying for dinner .

Final episode : `` Goodbye , Farewell and Amen '' ( edit ) Main article : Goodbye , Farewell and Amen `` Goodbye , Farewell and Amen '' was the final episode of M * A * S * H. Special television sets were placed in PX parking lots , auditoriums , and dayrooms of the US Army in Korea so that military personnel could watch that episode , in spite of 14 hours ' time - zone difference with the East Coast of the US . The episode aired on February 28 , 1983 , and was 21⁄2 hours long . The episode got a Nielsen rating of 60.2 and 77 share and according to a New York Times article from 1983 , the final episode of M * A * S * H had 125 million viewers . When the M * A * S * H finale aired in 1983 , 83.3 million homes in the United States had televisions , compared to almost 115 million in February 2010 . `` Goodbye , Farewell and Amen '' broke the record for the highest percentage of homes with television sets to watch a television series . Stories persist that the episode was seen by so many people that the New York City Sanitation / Public Works Department reported the plumbing systems broke down in some parts of the city from so many New Yorkers waiting until the end to use the toilet . Articles copied into Alan Alda 's book The Last Days of M * A * S * H include interviews with New York City Sanitation workers citing the spike in water use on that night . According to the interviews at 11 : 03 pm , EST New York City public works noted the highest water usage at one given time in the City 's history . They attributed this to the fact that in the three minutes after the finale ended , around 77 % of the people of New York City flushed their toilets . These stories have all since been identified as part of an urban legend dating back to the days of the Amos and Andy radio program in the 1930s . The finale was referenced in a passage from Stephen Chbosky 's coming - of - age novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower , in which the main character and his family watch the finale together .

Reception ( edit ) Ratings and recognition ( edit ) The series premiered in the US on September 17 , 1972 , and ended on February 28 , 1983 , with the finale , showcased as a television film , titled `` Goodbye , Farewell and Amen '' , becoming the most - watched and highest - rated single television episode in US television history at the time , with a record - breaking 125 million viewers ( 60.2 rating and 77 share ) , according to the New York Times . It had struggled in its first season and was at risk of being cancelled . Season two of M * A * S * H placed it in a better time slot ( airing after the popular All in the Family ) ; the show became one of the top 10 programs of the year and stayed in the top 20 programs for the rest of its run . It is still broadcast in syndication on various television stations . The series , which depicted events occurring during a three - year war , spanned 256 episodes and lasted 11 seasons . The Korean War lasted 1,128 days , meaning each episode of the series would have averaged almost four and a half days of real time . Many of the stories in the early seasons are based on tales told by real MASH surgeons who were interviewed by the production team . Like the movie , the series was as much an allegory about the Vietnam War ( still in progress when the show began ) as it was about the Korean War . The episodes `` Abyssinia , Henry '' and `` The Interview '' were ranked number 20 and number 80 , respectively , on TV Guide 's 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time in 1997 . In 2002 , M * A * S * H was ranked number 25 on TV Guide 's 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time . In 2013 , the Writers Guild of America ranked it as the fifth - best written TV series ever and TV Guide ranked it as the eighth - greatest show of all time . In 2016 , Rolling Stone ranked it as the sixteenth - greatest TV show .

( May 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The short - lived spin - off AfterMASH ( 1983 -- 85 ) inherited the parent show 's Monday night time slot and featured several of its characters reunited in a Midwestern hospital after the war . The more successful Trapper John , M.D. ( 1979 -- 86 ) took place nearly three decades after the events of M * A * S * H and depicted Trapper John McIntyre as chief of surgery at a San Francisco hospital ; its producers argued successfully in court that it was based on the earlier movie rather than the TV series . In an unpurchased television pilot , W * A * L * T * E * R ( 1984 ) , Walter `` Radar '' O'Reilly joins the St. Louis police force after his farm fails following his return to the US . Making M * A * S * H , a documentary special narrated by Mary Tyler Moore that takes viewers behind the production of the season 8 episodes `` Old Soldiers '' and `` Lend a Hand '' , was produced for PBS in 1981 . The special was later included in the syndicated rerun package , with new narration by producer Michael Hirsch . Two retrospective specials were produced to commemorate the show 's 20th and 30th anniversaries . Memories of M * A * S * H , hosted by Shelley Long and featuring clips from the series and interviews with cast members , was aired by CBS on November 25 , 1991 . A 30th Anniversary Reunion special , in which the surviving cast members and producers gathered to reminisce , aired on the Fox network on May 17 , 2002 . The two - hour broadcast was hosted by Mike Farrell , who also got to interact with the actor he replaced , Wayne Rogers ; previously filmed interviews with McLean Stevenson and Larry Linville ( who had died in 1996 and 2000 , respectively ) were also featured . The two specials are included as bonuses on the Collector 's Edition DVD of `` Goodbye , Farewell , and Amen '' . Also included is `` M * A * S * H : Television 's Serious Sitcom '' , a 2002 episode of the A&E cable channel 's Biography program that detailed the show 's history . In the late 1980s , the cast had a partial reunion in a series of commercials for IBM personal computers . All of the front - billed regulars ( with the exceptions of Farrell , Stiers , and Stevenson ) appeared in the spots over time .

Akeelah and the Bee

Akeelah and the Bee - wikipedia Akeelah and the Bee Jump to : navigation , search Akeelah and the Bee Theatrical release poster Directed by Doug Atchison Produced by Laurence Fishburne Sid Ganis Nancy Hult Ganis Danny Llewelyn Michael Romersa Written by Doug Atchison Starring Laurence Fishburne Angela Bassett Keke Palmer Music by Aaron Zigman Cinematography David Mullen Edited by Glenn Farr Production company Lionsgate Films 2929 Entertainment Starbucks Entertainment Out of the Blue Entertainment Reactor Films Cinema Gypsy Productions Distributed by Lionsgate Films Release date March 16 , 2006 ( 2006 - 03 - 16 ) ( CIFF ) April 28 , 2006 ( 2006 - 04 - 28 ) Running time 112 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $6 -- 8 million Box office $18.9 million Akeelah and the Bee is a 2006 American drama film written and directed by Doug Atchison . It tells the story of Akeelah Anderson ( Keke Palmer ) , an 11 - year - old girl who participates in the Scripps National Spelling Bee , her mother ( Angela Bassett ) , her schoolmates , and her coach , Dr. Joshua Larabee ( Laurence Fishburne ) . The cast also features Curtis Armstrong , J.R. Villarreal , Sean Michael Afable , Erica Hubbard , Lee Thompson Young , Julito McCullum , Sahara Garey , Eddie Steeples , and Tzi Ma . The film was developed over a period of 10 years by Atchison , who came up with the initial concept after seeing the 1994 Scripps National Spelling Bee and noting that a majority of the competitors came from good socioeconomic backgrounds . After completing the script in 1999 , Atchison won one of the Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting in 2000 , which attracted producers Sid Ganis and Nancy Hult Ganis . After an initial inability to secure funding , the project got a second wind as a result of the success of the 2002 documentary film Spellbound . Lionsgate Films undertook the production in 2004 and in the following year it was filmed in South Los Angeles on a budget of over $6 million . Atchison remarked that his theme for the film , deemed an inspirational film , was about overcoming obstacles despite difficult challenges along the way . He also said that he wanted to portray African Americans in a manner that was not stereotypical and tried to show how African American children incorporate some stereotypes . The film alludes to the importance of community as well as to problems black communities face . It also deals with esteem and stigma in school while criticizes the public school system . Cast members said that although the film was aimed at children , they considered it had important lessons for the parents as well . Released in the United States on April 28 , 2006 , Akeelah and the Bee was positively received by critics and audiences . Reviewers praised its storyline and cast , lauding Palmer 's performance , although a few critics panned the story as familiar and formulaic , and were critical of the portrayal of Asian - American characters . The film grossed almost $18 million , and received a number of awards and nominations , including the Black Reel Awards and the NAACP Image Awards . Film critics highly praised it for avoiding African - American stereotypes common in Hollywood films , while scholars were less favorable , even saying it reinforces some clichés .

She lives with her widowed mother Tanya , her older sister Kiana , her older brothers Devon and Terrence , and her infant niece . Her principal Mr. Welch suggests that she sign up for the Crenshaw Schoolwide Spelling Bee . She follows his advice and wins . Soon after , Dr. Joshua Larabee , a visiting English professor and Mr. Welch 's friend from college , tests Akeelah and decides that she is good enough to compete in the National Spelling Bee . Nevertheless , Dr. Larabee declines to coach her because she is rude to him . As a result , Akeelah studies on her own to prepare for the district spelling bee . Although Akeelah misspells her word during the final round of the bee , she qualifies for the regional bee when Kiana catches the other finalist cheating . Akeelah also meets and befriends Javier Mendez , a 12 - year - old Mexican American boy and fellow speller . Javier invites her to join the spelling club at his Woodland Hills middle school . At Woodland Hills , Akeelah meets Dylan Chiu , a Chinese American boy who had won second place at the past two national spelling bees . Contemptuous , he asks her to spell `` xanthosis '' . When she starts with a `` z '' , he tells her she needs a coach . At the conclusion of the spelling club meeting , Javier invites Akeelah to his birthday party . At the party , Akeelah nearly beats Dylan in Scrabble . The boy is reprimanded by his father for nearly losing to `` a little black girl '' . After the party , Tanya is depressed over her husband 's death and concerned about her daughter 's grades and frequent truancy . As she finds out about Akeelah going alone to Woodland Hills , she subsequently forbids Akeelah from participating in the upcoming state bee . To circumvent this prohibition , Akeelah forges her deceased father 's signature on the consent form and secretly studies with Dr. Larabee . During the state bee , Tanya comes inside and interrupts her daughter before she can spell her word . Tanya relents after a side discussion with Dr. Larabee and Mr. Welch . Javier protects Akeelah from disqualification by stalling until she can return . Dylan , Javier and Akeelah advance to the Scripps National Spelling Bee . As Christmas approaches , Akeelah goes out to buy Dr. Larabee a present , but when she meets him , he reveals that he is quitting being her coach because she reminds him of his deceased daughter Denise . Instead , he gives Akeelah 5,000 flashcards to study . Without her coach , rejected by her best friend Georgia , and feeling the pressure from her neighborhood residents to make them proud , Akeelah loses her motivation . However , Tanya tells her that if she looked around her , she would realize that she has `` 50,000 coaches '' . Akeelah recruits her family members , classmates , teachers , friends , and neighbor Derrick T to prepare in earnest . After reuniting with Dr. Larabee , Akeelah goes to Washington , D.C. with him , along with Tanya , Georgia , Mr. Welch , and Devon , unaware that her coach has paid for four of their tickets . Georgia rekindles her friendship with Akeelah after she invites her . During the competition , Akeelah becomes a crowd favorite . After all the other competitors are eliminated , only Dylan and Akeelah remain . The two finalists are allowed a break , during which Akeelah overhears Dylan 's father harshly pressuring him to win . Akeelah attempts to intentionally lose by deliberately misspelling `` xanthosis '' . Dylan , knowing that Akeelah knows this word , intentionally misspells it as well . Dylan tells Akeelah that he wants a fair competition , rejecting his father 's obsession to win . The two then proceed to spell every word listed by the judges in the hopes of winning the championship together , with Dylan earning a share of it by correctly spelling `` logorrhea '' , much to his father 's delight . Akeelah spells the last word on the list , `` pulchritude '' , and the two are declared co-champions amidst a cheering crowd . Cast ( edit ) Laurence Fishburne and Angela Bassett were the protagonists along with Keke Palmer . Both were attracted by its history ; Fishburne said he was `` really moved by it '' , and Bassett `` just loved '' it . Keke Palmer as Akeelah Anderson : Three hundred girls auditioned for the role of Akeelah in Los Angeles , New York and Atlanta , with Palmer having auditioned five times to get the part . Atchison liked Palmer 's acting , but the major factor in choosing her was the fact that at only age ten Palmer already had a profound interpretation of the script . He chose her as he did not want a kid whom he would command but instead someone with whom he could have a collaboration : someone who would understand the role and `` would make this character her own . '' He just assisted her to fully ensure that she would understand the character 's feelings and would make `` the right emotional choices . '' Laurence Fishburne as Dr. Joshua Larabee : Fishburne was pleased by the concept of the film , stating he was `` really moved by it '' , so that he accepted to take his part `` at an affordable rate '' , according to producer Michael Romersa . He first read the script in 2002 and moved by the fact that `` there were very few people with the courage '' to `` make this kind of movie '' he also accepted to be a producer for the film . About the character , Atchison said that Larabee is `` vulnerable '' and `` a very sensitive guy '' that has `` a quiet moral authority '' . He also asserted that Fishburne made Larabee `` a fairly buttoned - up , stoic type '' and `` subtly more animated '' than how he envisioned the character . Larabee is based upon a teacher , Robert Larabell , Atchison had in Phoenix , Arizona . Angela Bassett as Tanya Anderson : Bassett 's agent sent her the script which she `` just loved . '' Atchison praised Bassett 's portrayal of the character , asserting she `` made Tanya a real person '' after understanding `` the thought process of the character '' . The director said Tanya wants the best for Akeelah but is reticent because she thinks `` the dream will fail and make things worse . '' Bassett stressed that her character has to handle the pain of her husband 's death in addition to having bills paid but that Tanya `` gain ( s ) some measure of courage herself '' inspired by Akeelah . Curtis Armstrong as Bob Welch : Atchison pointed Armstrong `` was the perfect choice for the school principal . '' About his character role in the film , he said , `` Welch is very excitable and provides a lot of the comic relief in our story . '' J.R. Villarreal as Javier Mendez : Villarreal was chosen by scouts at the Sheraton Hotel in south McAllen to go to the next phase in Dallas . After doing well in Dallas , he was sent to auditions in California and finally got the part . He commented that `` Javier is a very good friend to Akeelah ... And also like his charisma , his character , he can always put a smile on your face . He really does n't care what people think of him that much and he helps Akeelah out with that little matter because she cares very much of what people think about her . '' Sean Michael Afable as Dylan Chiu : Afable argued that his character can be `` sometimes harsh and seemingly cutthroat '' , but this is because of the pressure his father puts on him , noting Dylan 's `` true character '' is seen at the end of the film . Sahara Garey as Georgia Carver Garey did `` about six auditions '' to take the role . She commented that about her character : `` she encourages Akeelah , because she sees so many qualities in her that she does n't think she herself has . Georgia aims lower , but she encourages Akeelah to aim higher . '' Erica Hubbard , Lee Thompson Young , and Julito McCullum portray Akeelah 's sister and brothers Kiana , Devon , and Terrence , respectively . Dalia Phillips appears as Akeelah 's teacher , Ms. Cross , and Eddie Steeples as Derrick T. Tzi Ma takes the role of Mr. Chiu , Dylan 's father , while Wolfgang Bodison plays the deceased Akeelah 's unnamed father . Production ( edit ) Writing ( edit ) Doug Atchison first had the idea of making a film about spelling bees after watching the Scripps National Spelling Bee of 1994 and noticing that most of the contestants had `` privileged backgrounds '' . Atchison also considered spelling bees to contain `` all the drama and tension and entertainment value of a sporting event '' , and felt that this could be made into a film . From this , he got the idea to write a script following the story of a child who had talent for spelling bee but was from a low - income neighborhood so did not `` have access to the resources or coaching to pursue it as these other kids had . '' He had the desire of making a `` Rocky - like story '' and although made it a `` dramatic '' plot , he declared it is `` essentially a sports movie '' . Atchison started his screenplay in 1999 , when he wrote a five - page treatment in about a month . In addition to the fact he was working on other projects , Atchison said he waited years before starting to write because he `` thought someone else would do it first . '' This did not happen , so he began to write by himself . Few changes were made in the process of transitioning from the original draft to the final product . One change was that at first , Akeelah 's mother had a smaller role and Akeelah 's father was alive . Also , Larabee had been an older man ( 72 years old ) , and a few characters were cut . However , Atchison has summarized that `` the steps she goes through , the friends she 's got , those were always the same . '' Development ( edit ) In 2000 , Atchison submitted his script to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences along with about 4,500 others , in hopes of winning the Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting . Atchison 's script ended up being one of five scripts selected , and he won the grant . Editor Glenn Farr , then a member of the committee , offered to edit Atchison 's film as soon as it was finished . Producer Sid Ganis was also attracted to the story during the award presentation ceremony . Nancy Hult Ganis , Sid 's wife who was interested in public education , encouraged him to follow through with the film . The film was produced by Lionsgate Films , 2929 Entertainment , Starbucks Entertainment , Out of the Blue Entertainment , Reactor Films and Cinema Gypsy Productions , with a budget around $6 -- 8 million . However , the Ganis couple found it difficult to secure funding for the film . In August 2001 , Danny Llewelyn 's Panoptic Pictures acquired the rights of Atchison 's script . In 2002 , documentary Spellbound was released and attracted attention to spelling bees , which , according to Hult Ganis , `` helped us in some way '' . In November 2004 , Lionsgate Films announced they would fund and distribute the film ; and in collaboration with 2929 Entertainment they would co-finance the production . In January 2006 , Starbucks announced a partnership with Lionsgate to market it . Another factor in not having a studio attached before was Atchison 's desire to direct it as he wanted to ensure his story would remain the one he envisioned . Several studios wanted to turn Larabee 's character into a white character but Atchison felt `` it was important that Akeelah 's mentor be someone that comes from her neighborhood , that looks like her . '' Lionsgate 's President of Production Michael Paseornek agreed that Atchison should direct the script , claiming that he was the only person who could do it because the story `` was in his heart and in his mind '' . Filming ( edit ) Filming began in February 2005 ; the crew filmed for ten hours a day for thirty - one days . The eleven - year - old Palmer had to follow the United States ' child labor laws , which necessitated spending at least three hours a day at school , one on recreation , and one at lunch . Nevertheless , Palmer appeared in almost every scene , about which Ganis commented , `` I honestly do n't know how we figured it out , but we did '' . To get the filming done on time , Atchison storyboarded the scenes ahead of time and chatted with cinematographer David Mullen , the production designer Warren Young , and Glenn Farr to compile a list of scenes . This way , the filming team began each day knowing what shots they would take , their order , and the performances scheduled for each day . Most of the filming took place in South Los Angeles , which Atchison picked as the filming location due to their low budget . Scenes were also filmed at the University of Southern California , Hollywood Palladium -- which stood in for the Grand Ballroom of the Washington , D.C. Hyatt Hotel -- and Venice High School . Authenticity ( edit ) To bring authenticity to the film 's portrayal of spelling bees , George Hornedo , who competed in spelling bees in real life , was hired to play contestant Roman and be `` an unofficial technical consultant . '' Hornedo helped the actors to recreate `` certain habits and idiosyncrasies they do on stage to help them spell . '' Thus , Akeelah skipping rope to memorize the words was added as `` something that was normal for the spelling bee '' but Atchison tried to create it in a `` subtle '' way as he thought the audience could consider this unrealistic . Hornedo and other children who had never acted before were cast because of their authentic portrayals of nervous contestants ; other kids , in Atchison 's eyes , were `` too old in how they acted '' . Also , Jacques Bailly , who won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1980 and is currently the contest 's official pronouncer , since 2003 , played himself in the film . To further help the staff , Atchison asked Paige Kimball , director of the Scripps National Spelling Bee , to be a consultant . Kimball `` was amazed at not only at how precise it was in its recreation , but also how authentic the individuals and the casting for the event was . '' However , she and the organization did have some disagreements . Atchison has admitted that he originally created a more dramatic story than she wanted . However , he believed most of the disagreements were about technical procedures , `` things you would n't even notice '' . For example , the children were originally sponsored by newspapers to compete , but Atchison felt this detail did not improve the story , so he removed it . There were some concerns about the screenplay , and Atchison changed some of them `` because ( he ) thought it did n't matter one way or another so ( he ) just made them happy . '' Music ( edit ) The film features a musical score by Aaron Zigman , who wrote 45 minutes of compositions in two and a half weeks . He had planned to score Akeelah and the Bee over the holidays , but Lionsgate pushed its release date up , so Zigman was pressed for time to write the score . He drew inspiration from Fishburne 's performance to write it . A soundtrack album consisting of 16 tracks was released by Lionsgate Records in a deal with BMG 's RED Distribution on April 4 , 2006 . It peaked at number 193 on the Billboard 200 , and reached the 19th and sixth spot on the Billboard Top Independent Albums and Top Soundtracks respectively . The original score , consisting of 37 tracks , was also released on April 4 as an iTunes exclusive . Themes and analysis ( edit ) `` If you see African - American kids striving to do something in the movies , it 's sports or singing or dancing . Here , we 're engaging kids on their intellect . That , you do n't see . These lies about black inferiority have been seeping into cinema , and that seeps into our kids . As a filmmaker , you can dig into these issues '' -- Doug Atchison Commentators on Akeelah and the Bee opined it dealt with multiple themes , including race and racism , poverty , educational system , competition and sportsmanship , self - esteem , self - image , stigma , community , friendship , gender and sexism , age , class and classism , and empowerment . Atchison affirmed that its focus is not the spelling but `` a kid who learns what she 's good at , becomes proud of that and does n't want to hide it anymore . It 's overcoming the fear of being great , before you can be great . '' Sid Ganis described it as a film `` about hope and doing great things against all the odds , '' while a New York Press reviewer declared it `` addresses the human condition '' . After attending USC School of Cinematic Arts and working at a youth center in South Los Angeles , Atchison incorporated his experiences from the neighborhood into the film ; among them , he heard that children who do well in school are said to be `` acting white '' . As a result , Atchison tried to use the film to show what causes these children to doubt their own abilities . This doubts are shown through the preconceptions Akeelah and other community members have that `` Spelling Bee is for someone else '' . She `` must first overcome her feelings of inadequacy , '' and when she discovers Larabee comes from her neighborhood and is a successful man , it `` empowers her to ... accomplish this task . '' Fishburne stated the film 's treatment of race extends beyond the dichotomy of struggle and success , and goes into the prejudice that many people hold against black people competing in mainstream society . Atchison elaborated , `` it 's about this girl 's insecurity about doing a thing that she has n't seen people who look like her doing '' . The director affirmed that African American children in film usually aspire to nothing other than being successful in sports , music or dance . He argued that the film industry has disseminated `` lies about black inferiority '' , so he was interested in focusing in their intellect rather than let them succumb to the stereotypes . Atchison noted he had created the project for all publics `` but particularly for kids of color to see a little black girl who does something powerful . '' The director also attributed Akeelah 's low - esteem and doubt on her own capacities to the public school system , where she is bullied and `` her intellectual curiosity is kind of crushed '' . As such , Akeelah is portrayed as `` undermotivated student '' , who `` ( u ) nwilling to be stigmatized as a freak or a brainiac , '' avoids showing her abilities . According to Wesley Morris of The Boston Globe , the film shows `` the contradiction gifted students feel in an inhospitable environment . '' Ann Hornaday from The Washington Post opined that Akeelah 's sentence `` Why would I want to represent a school that does n't even have doors on the toilets ? '' is `` one of the film 's many subtle critiques of the country 's education policies . '' Writing in the English Journal , Amanda L. Hodges said it suggests a new approach on teaching with the `` 50,000 coaches '' part ; she declared it deconstructs the image of teachers `` as those who keep order and disseminate knowledge '' and shows that `` ( t ) eaching is not an isolated activity that begins and ends at the classroom door . '' Villarreal commented that the film `` teaches you not to let your friends down '' , while Fishburne believed that the theme of community was important . Marrit Ingman of The Austin Chronicle said the film indicates `` a community - based , cooperative model of group success , '' while Justin Chang of Variety said it `` focuses ... on the bee 's community - uniting impact . '' Hodges said Akeelah goes to the spelling bee because she recognizes it `` proves that someone from their neighborhood can achieve success , and her achievementis , in a real sense , their own '' . In contrast , Bernard Beck wrote for Multicultural Perspectives that it depicts `` the success of individual perseverance '' , while Red Feather Journall 's Kathryn Linder expressed a similar opinion about individual success . Nevertheless , Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times commented `` it raises important points about the ... obstacles to success that kids from poor neighborhoods face . '' The New York Press 's reviewer went further and said social class was its `` real subject '' as it `` depicts the basics of class mobility that are routinely taken for granted '' . However , Chang asserted it shows the spelling bee contest as `` a democratizing force '' , while Rob Asghar , for The Seattle Times , wrote it treats English as `` the quintessential American tool for success . '' Both Fishburne and Bassett also remarked that an important message of Akeelah and the Bee is to `` speak properly '' rather than strictly in vernacular , although Bassett emphasized the importance of the film 's themes beyond spelling and spelling bees . Atchison added that beyond learning how to spell words , Akeelah must learn the importance of the words . He said that Larabee `` looks at Akeelah as a potential leader . He wants her to understand her history . She needs to know the importance of language -- and competition . '' In spite of knowing its importance , it `` deconstruct ( s ) the ' competition ' paradigm of learning '' , according to Ingman . Fishburne noted not only children but parents can learn from the film ; in his opinion , the most important is that they should pay attention to their children 's abilities . Villarreal also felt that , through Dylan 's father , parents would be able to ponder if they are `` push ( ing ) their kids to follow their own dreams and not the children 's dreams . '' Release and reception ( edit ) Marketing and release ( edit ) The film was promoted by coffee shop chain Starbucks as a result of a partnership between Lions Gate Entertainment and Starbucks Entertainment . In January 2006 , approximately 8,300 Starbucks locations in the United States and Canada began a promotional campaign for the film involving spelling - related trivia games and promotions on cardboard cup sleeves . Variety stated that Lionsgate spent around $20 million with its market only , while Los Angeles Times reported a $25 million cost to both produce and market the film . Ford Motor Company also sponsored the film by providing a Lincoln Zephyr to chauffeur the cast and creators to and from a screening . Akeelah and the Bee was first shown at the 2006 ShoWest on March 14 , and later premiered as the opening film at the 30th Cleveland International Film Festival on March 16 . On April 20 , the film was screened at The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills , and it had a sneak preview in 900 theaters on April 22 . With predictions of strong box office returns by film critics , it was released nationwide in theaters on April 28 , grossing $6,011,585 in its opening weekend from around 2,195 American theaters and ranking eighth at the box office . The film closed its run on July 14 and 20 domestically and internationally respectively , with $18,848,430 domestically and $110,994 internationally . While the film received positive reviews , critics noted that it was not doing as well financially as they had predicted , and Lionsgate 's Michael Burns characterized the film 's gross with the word `` only '' . Outside the United States , the film debuted at the Sprockets Toronto International Film Festival for Children on April 23 , 2006 , where it was elected the best film by the kids in the ages of 10 and 11 . In the United Kingdom , Akeelah and the Bee was first shown at the Cambridge Film Festival on July 7 , and it premiered in the British theaters on August 18 . The film was also screened in October 2006 at the Rome Film Festival , in which it competed at the Alicy in the City section . Home Media ( edit ) The film was released on DVD by Lionsgate Home Entertainment on August 29 , becoming the first DVD offered for sale at Starbucks . Its bonus features on the single - disc DVD include seven deleted scenes and a 25 - minute making - of video featuring Atchinson and the cast . DVD sales in the United States reached $5,391,947 as 317,942 copies were sold after one week on sale . By December 2006 , American consumers had spent a total of $25,855,396 to purchase 1,512,498 copies , making it one of the three most profitable home video releases of Lionsgate in 2006 . Critical reaction ( edit ) Keke Palmer 's portrayal of Akeelah was highly praised by critics . According to Moira Macdonald from The Seattle Times , Palmer was `` stealing a movie from Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne '' . Palmer 's performance led her to win several awards , including a Black Movie Award , a Black Reel Award , a NAACP Image Award , and a Young Artist Award . The film received generally positive reviews from film critics . The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports an 84 % `` fresh '' with an average rating of 7.1 / 10 based on 138 reviews . Its critical consensus states , `` Although predictable in every way , a winning performance from its young star Keke Palmer and the rest of the cast makes it difficult not to cheer for the little heroine of Akeelah and the Bee . Sort of like Rocky for the middle school nerd set , Akeelah ( and the Bee ) is a warm , family - friendly underdog story , featuring terrific supporting performances from Laurence Fishburne and Angela Bassett . '' On Metacritic , the film achieved an average score of 72 out 100 , based on 30 reviews , signifying `` generally favorable reviews '' . CinemaScore reported that audiences gave the film a rare average grade of A+ . Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times wrote it is `` an uncommonly good movie , entertaining and actually inspirational '' . Writing for Film Journal International , Doris Toumarkine praised its pace and how `` Atchison takes spelling competitions and conveys the excitement of the ' sport , ' the appeal of the ' game , ' the thrill of the win , ( and ) the crushing blow of the loss . '' Hornaday from The Washington Post called the film `` a triumph on many levels '' and proclaimed , `` It 's that nod to the collective ... that makes Akeelah and the Bee so special . '' She especially appreciated that South Los Angeles was presented without stereotypes . Jane Clifford of U-T San Diego felt the film would appeal to both children and adults , and stated that every time she tried to predict its plot `` it took a sharp turn . A turn that leaves you facing your stereotypes and feeling a little sheepish . '' Dana Stevens , writing for The New York Times , asserted , `` The innate suspense and charm of the spelling bee , '' and `` a trio of crack performances '' can turn `` a formulaic sports picture '' into a `` tale that manages to inspire without being sappy . '' Shantayaé Grant of The Jamaica Observer wrote that `` acting is spectacular , the emotions are real and this story of black triumph is simply phenomenal . '' New York Press critic affirmed that Akeelah and the Bee `` resurrects a nearly lost idea of what an art - movie really is '' because it has `` dramatic attention to character and place , psychology and existence . '' Chang of Variety commented that it `` plays like The Karate Kid with a pro-literacy agenda , pushing all the right emotional buttons yet hitting quite a few wrong ones in the process . '' The Evening Chronicle 's review said it `` conceals few narrative surprises '' but contended that `` when ( Atchison ) does finally defy our expectations , it 's to ensure his spellers learn a valuable lesson about integrity . '' Turan of the Los Angeles Times criticized that the film `` telegraphs its plot '' ; however , he praised it as `` genuinely sweet and determinedly inspirational . '' PopMatters 's Cynthia Fuchs stated it is formulaic as it has some `` conventions that make so many other genre films feel stale , '' but that it `` torques them slightly '' , emphasizing the `` intellectual activities '' Akeelah gets involved with . Furthermore , the film was described as `` derivatively entertaining in a feel - good sort of way '' by Rick Groen in an article for The Globe and Mail . Ingman of The Austin Chronicle described it as a typical sports film and felt it was heavy - handed at times . However , she praised it for its thems and called the film a `` ( t ) houghtful , engaging , '' one and said it has `` cross-gender appeal '' . Morris of The Boston Globe argued , `` If Akeelah and the Bee is a generic , well - oiled commercial contraption , it is the first to credibly dramatize the plight of a truly gifted , poor black child . '' Morris added , `` Obviously , it 's emotional propaganda . But it 's just the kind of propaganda our children need . '' Despite being a `` critically acclaimed '' film , according to Rotten Tomatoes , not all of its reviews were this positive . Anna Smith of Empire called it `` formulaic and all - American '' , commenting that many scenes `` appear functional rather than inspirational '' , and that the film focused on the racial issue `` a little too heavily '' . Smith stated , `` clunky plotting and characterisation mean it has ' telemovie ' written all over it . '' Marc Mohan from The Oregonian stressed it can be compared to after - school specials due to its `` lack of originality in plot and character . '' Time Out 's Jessica Winter also drew a comparation to after - school specials , saying `` on the big screen ... its clichés seem bigger and its characterisations broader than they would on the more forgiving telly . '' Nick Schager 's of Slant Magazine lamented that the `` clichés are too numerous to mention '' , while Neil Smith from BBC asserted it has `` as much ... fantasy as Lord of the Rings . '' Jan Stuart of Newsday deemed it `` virtually suspense - free , while Robert Hanks of The Independent stated it has an important message but that is a `` shame it could n't be encased in a less faked - up story '' . Commenting on The Times , Chris Ayres stressed that although it has good `` visual flair '' it `` is ruined by its Oprah - style emotional manipulation . '' New York Post 's Kyle Smith deemed it as `` uplifting but unimaginative '' , suggesting that `` Akeelah and the Bee is so warm and well - meaning that you may find yourself wanting to like it more than you really do . '' In spite of criticism , cast members ' performances were usually well received -- in particular , Palmer 's portrayal of Akeelah . Ebert said , `` The movie depends on her , and she deserves its trust . '' Hornaday opined that `` Palmer 's Akeelah is that cinematic rara avis , the kid who is cute without being too cute , sympathetic without being cloying , and believable without being tiresome . '' Evening Chronicle stated Palmer does it `` with effortless grace '' and that she `` carries the film and does n't strike a single wrong emotional note . '' Fuchs felt that most of the film 's strengths `` have to do with Palmer 's winning performance . '' Ingman declared Atchison 's `` ensemble is wonderful , and his star , Palmer , is a fantastically assured young actress who conveys Akeelah 's maelstrom of 11 - year - old feelings with no apparent effort . '' Turan complimented how Fishburne and Bassett 's `` presence and ability give this film a welcome integrity . '' Mohan stated , `` Although Fishburne and Bassett can do these roles in their sleep , the kids are actually quite engaging . '' Tourmakine felt there were `` fine performances all around '' and that Fishburne and Bassett `` lend fine support in utterly believable roles '' . Racial issues ( edit ) Chang called Dylan 's father `` a stiff Asian stereotype '' , while Mohan of The Oregonian found it contradictory for an anti-racist film to contain such depiction . Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian even claimed that the line `` If you can barely beat a little black girl '' ( spoken by Dylan 's father ) signifies that Atchison `` thinks it 's all right to bring in racism by making the Asians the racists . '' Metro Silicon Valley 's Richard von Busack commented that `` ( s ) tepping around black stereotypes , the film squishes its two left feet right in the mire of Asian stereotyping . '' Beth Accomando of KPBS also criticized Dylan and his father 's portrayal as `` painful cliches '' , while Schager of Slant Magazine found it not authentic , even likening Dylan 's father to Mao Zedong . Scholars Charise Pimentel and Cathleen Sawyer from the Texas State University published an article titled `` Akeelah and the Bee : Inspirational Story of African - American Intellect and Triumph or Racist Rhetoric Served Up On Another Platter ? '' on the May 2011 issue of journal Multicultural Perspectives . On a critical discourse analysis , the authors argue that despite appearing to be an `` inoccent enough '' film , it has major approaches that make it racist . First , it implies that African - Americans needs to be rescued by others ; second , depicts African - Americans community as `` marked by homelessness , poverty , criminality , unemployment , and remnants of gang activity '' ; third , indicates that black people usually only achieve success through sports by `` linking the very essence of Akeelah 's phenomenal ability to spell to her rhythmic abilities '' ; and shows that African - Americans only can succeed outside their communities , `` far from the oppressive clutches of their own . '' Linder , on her September 2011 paper `` Spelling Out Racial Difference : Moving Beyond the Inspirational Discourses in Akeelah and the Bee '' , also criticizes it saying it `` acts as a platform for a racial melodrama through which ideals of whiteness are reinforced and strengthened . '' Using Linda Williams ' categories of what constitutes a racial melodrama , Linder argues that it is described as an `` inspirational '' film because of `` ( its ) portrayal of Akeelah 's victimization by the black community that surrounds her '' and of redemption only achieved `` through the idealized discourse of young people 's educational success as defined by dominant ( white ) culture . '' Linder said characters `` are mostly represented as having ' no interest in escape ' from societal oppressions and limitations '' and that `` there is no sign throughout the film of any kind of lasting change for Akeelah 's school or her young peers . '' Linder affirms that it creates a dichotomy between `` success ( whiteness ) versus failure ( blackness ) . '' Pimentel and Sawyer , as well as Linder , identify Larabee as the one who makes this separation clear when he manifests his disregard of African American Vernacular English . The co-authors wrote that Larabee implies that `` legitimate forms of intelligence can only be achieved through a Eurocentric perspective , thus advancing the message that Akeelah must be rescued from her African - American ways of knowing , in order to be considered intellectual . '' Another contraposition commented by scholars was `` between the supportive Dr. Larabee and Akeelah 's skeptical mother . '' Pimental and Sawyer said she is portrayed as `` an African - American obstructionist '' , while scholar Gloria Ladson ‐ Billings asserted she represents the stereotype of `` ignorant Black woman '' . Although Fuchs said the film was able to avoid the `` white authority figure saves the underclass child '' plotline by introducing Larabee , Ladson ‐ Billings , Linder , and Pimentel and Sawyer opined that it did not . After all , Larabee , as Linder described , is `` a non-threatening black man who has assimilated to white culture and who can be depended on to help assimilate others '' . Accolades ( edit ) The film was nominated for six Black Reel Awards , winning only Best Actress for Palmer . Out of five NAACP Image Awards nominations , Akeelah and the Bee won Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture and Outstanding Writing in a Feature Film / Television Movie - Comedy or Drama . At the Black Movie Awards , it won the five awards it was nominated for . The same happened during the Young Artist Awards where it was nominated for two categories and won two awards , and at the CAMIE Awards where it was nominated for and won an award .

List of NBA players with most championships - wikipedia List of NBA players with most championships Jump to : navigation , search Bill Russell won 11 championships with the Boston Celtics , an NBA record . This is a list of NBA players with most championships won as a player . The National Basketball Association ( NBA ) is a major professional basketball league in North America . It was founded in 1946 as the Basketball Association of America ( BAA ) . The league adopted its current name at the start of the 1949 -- 50 season when it merged with the National Basketball League ( NBL ) . The NBA Finals is the championship series for the NBA and the conclusion of the sport 's postseason . The winning team of the series receives the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy . Players from the winning team usually receive championship rings from the team honoring their contribution . However , in some rare occasion , the teams opted to give other commemorative items , such as wrist watches , instead of rings . The number of championships won by NBA superstars is often used as a measurement of their greatness . Boston Celtics center Bill Russell holds the record for the most NBA championships won with 11 titles during his 13 - year playing career .

IOS 10 - wikipedia IOS 10 Jump to : navigation , search iOS 10 A version of the iOS operating system The default iOS 10 home screen on an iPhone 7 Developer Apple Inc . Source model Closed with open - source components Initial release September 13 , 2016 ; 17 months ago ( 2016 - 09 - 13 ) Latest release 10.3. 3 ( 14G60 ) / July 19 , 2017 ; 7 months ago ( 2017 - 07 - 19 ) Platforms iPhone iPhone 5 iPhone 5C iPhone 5S iPhone 6 iPhone 6 Plus iPhone 6S iPhone 6S Plus iPhone SE iPhone 7 iPhone 7 Plus iPod Touch iPod Touch ( 6th generation ) iPad iPad ( 4th generation ) iPad Air iPad Air 2 iPad ( 2017 ) iPad Mini 2 iPad Mini 3 iPad Mini 4 iPad Pro Kernel type Hybrid ( XNU ) License Proprietary software with open - source components Preceded by iOS 9 Succeeded by iOS 11 Official website iOS 10 at the Wayback Machine ( archived September 12 , 2017 ) Support status Third - party application support only iOS 10 is the tenth major release of the iOS mobile operating system developed by Apple Inc. , being the successor to iOS 9 . It was announced at the company 's Worldwide Developers Conference on June 13 , 2016 , and was released on September 13 , 2016 . It was succeeded by iOS 11 on September 19 , 2017 . iOS 10 incorporates changes to 3D Touch and the lock screen . There are new features to some apps : Messages has additional emojis and third - party apps can extend functionality in iMessage , Maps has a redesigned interface and additional third - party functions , the Home app manages `` HomeKit '' - enabled accessories , Photos has algorithmic search and categorization of media known as `` Memories '' , and Siri is compatible with third - party app - specific requests , such as starting workouts apps , sending IMs , requesting the Lyft or Uber apps or to use payment functions . Reviews of iOS 10 were mostly positive . Reviewers highlighted the significant updates to iMessage , Siri , Photos , 3D Touch , and the lock screen as welcome changes . The third - party extension support to iMessage meant it was `` becoming a platform '' , although the user interface was criticized for being difficult to understand . Third - party integration in Siri was `` great '' , although the voice assistant was criticized for not having become smarter than before . Reviewers were impressed with the image recognition technology in Photos , although noting it was still a `` work in progress '' with a higher error rate than the competition . 3D Touch `` finally feels useful '' and `` works in almost every part of the OS '' . The lock screen was `` far more customizable than before '' , and reviewers enjoyed that notification bubbles could be expanded to see more information without needing to unlock the phone . A month after release , iOS 10 was installed on 54 % of iOS devices , a `` slightly slower migration '' than for the release of iOS 9 , speculated as being caused by an early release issue that may have `` put some ( users ) off downloading the update '' . User adoption of iOS 10 steadily increased in the following months , eventually totaling 89 % of active devices in September 2017 .

The first beta release was made available to registered developers following the keynote . Apple released the first public beta release on July 7 , 2016 . iOS 10 was officially released on September 13 , 2016 . Updates ( edit ) 10.0. 1 ( edit ) iOS 10.0. 1 was released on September 13 , 2016 , as the first update to iOS 10 . It was released just after 10.0 , which contained a bug causing devices to brick themselves while updating . 10.0. 2 ( edit ) iOS 10.0. 2 was released on September 23 , 2016 . The update contained bug fixes , specifically fixing a bug that temporarily disabled the headphone controls on the Lightning EarPods that ship with the iPhone 7 , fixing a bug preventing app extensions from being enabled , and fixing an unexpected crash of the Photos app when activating iCloud Photo Library . 10.0. 3 ( edit ) iOS 10.0. 3 was released on October 17 , 2016 exclusively for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models , with a fix for connectivity issues . 10.1 ( edit ) iOS 10.1 was released on October 24 , 2016 , with a new portrait camera mode for iPhone 7 Plus , transit directions for Japan in Apple Maps , the ability to replay Bubble and Screen effects in iMessage , as well as lots of bug fixes . iOS 10.1 also features a warning message when launching a 32 - bit app , that says the app `` may slow down your iPhone '' . iOS 10.1 also allows users to use iMessage effects even when the `` Reduce Motion '' setting is turned on . 10.1 1 ( edit ) iOS 10.1. 1 was released on October 31 , 2016 , with a fix for an issue where Health data could not be viewed for some users . On November 9 , 2016 , Apple released a new version of iOS 10.1. 1 , only available for users who had n't yet updated to the previous 10.1. 1 update . No information on the new update was given . 10.2 ( edit ) iOS 10.2 was released on December 12 , 2016 . The update included a new `` TV '' app ( U.S. only ) that unifies content from different video apps , and recommends new TV shows and movies to watch . The update also added new and redesigned emoji , stabilization and photo grouping accuracy changes to Photos , new `` Love '' and `` Celebration '' Messages screen effects , notification support for HomeKit - accessories , as well as revamped sorting options and design tweaks in the Music app . iOS 10.2 also adds a telemetry diagnostic tool that Apple can use to report battery consumption , for diagnosing reported issues with 30 % battery shutdowns on some iPhone models . iOS 10.2 also includes three new wallpapers for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus , specifically the wallpapers featured in the marketing of the phones . 10.2 1 ( edit ) iOS 10.2. 1 was released on January 23 , 2017 , with bug fixes and security improvements . On December 28 , 2017 Apple acknowledged that this update changed the power management during peak workloads to avoid unexpected shutdowns on iPhone 6 , iPhone 6 Plus , iPhone 6s , iPhone 6s Plus , and iPhone SE . Customers were upset over this update ; some thought it was a ploy to get people to upgrade to new devices . A number of people have filed lawsuits over the feature and are seeking class action status . 10.3 ( edit ) iOS 10.3 was released on March 27 , 2017 . The update introduced a `` Find My AirPods '' feature for lost AirPods headphones , changed the default file system from HFS+ to APFS for improved performance and encryption ( also increases usable storage on the device ) , support for additional Siri actions , including status of bills in payment apps and scheduling with ride - booking apps , a new Apple ID view in Settings , the ability for developers to respond to reviews in the App Store as well as `` Helpful '' and `` Not Helpful '' review labels , improved overview of iCloud storage usage , and bug fixes and stability improvements . Users can also give app ratings inside the app itself . iOS 10.3 also features a significant security patch fixing an issue where a JavaScript exploit link would cause devices to repeatedly call the 9 - 1 - 1 emergency phone number . The update also added a Podcasts widget and made app transitions smoother , and extended support for Wi - Fi calling to more carriers . For CarPlay , the update added a quick - access multitasking screen with the three most recently used apps , and added functionality for the Maps app to find electric vehicle charging stations . 10.3 1 ( edit ) iOS 10.3. 1 was released on April 3 , 2017 , with bug fixes and security improvements , including a fix for a Wi - Fi vulnerability discovered by Google 's Project Zero team of security researchers . 10.3 2 ( edit ) iOS 10.3. 2 was released on May 15 , 2017 , with bug fixes and security improvements . 10.3 3 ( edit ) iOS 10.3. 3 was released on July 19 , 2017 , with new wallpapers for the 12.9 - inch iPad Pro , along with bug fixes and security improvements , including a fix for a Wi - Fi vulnerability in which devices searching for signal were open to hackers . System features ( edit ) Control Center ( edit ) The Control Center has been redesigned and split into three pages : one for general settings , such as quick toggles for airplane mode and orientation lock , one for audio controls and one for controlling HomeKit ( internet of things ) appliances , if used . 3D Touch capabilities have been added to several toggles . Home screen ( edit ) Apps can show a widget when their home - screen icon is accessed with 3D Touch . Most default apps included with iOS devices can be hidden from the home screen and ' re-downloaded ' from the App Store . Upon doing this , the sandbox of the respective app is removed , which contains user data , settings and caches . The app is also hidden from other places , such as the `` Today '' view , the Settings app and `` Share Sheets '' , through which the user can interact with the app from within another app . This feature was first hinted at during an interview in September 2015 , in which Apple CEO Tim Cook stated that Apple was `` looking at '' allowing customers to remove unused stock apps . iOS 10 allows users to prioritize certain app downloads by using 3D Touch . Keyboard ( edit ) QuickType virtual keyboards , which provide word - completion capabilities , can predict answers to questions and suggest relevant information based on location , calendar availability or contacts . The `` Define '' feature in previous iOS versions has been replaced by `` Look Up '' , and now expands its use from just providing definitions to retrieving information from locations , web browsing history , downloaded apps , suggested websites , and more . The QuickType keyboard will allow the user to type in multiple languages if the user selects the desired languages in the `` Dictionary '' and `` Keyboard '' settings menus . The user has the ability to change keyboard settings specifically for physical keyboards ( such as autocorrect and auto - capitalization ) . Lock screen ( edit ) The `` slide to unlock '' mechanism on the lock screen has been removed in favor of pressing the home button . Similar to the feature on the Apple Watch , `` Raise to Wake '' wakes up the device when the user lifts it . This function requires a device with an M9 motion coprocessor or newer . The `` Today '' view of Notification Center has been replaced by widgets , and is accessible by swiping from left to right . On the iPad , widgets can be displayed in a two - column layout . Notification Center ( edit ) The Notification Center no longer has a `` Today '' view . Notifications , now larger , can expand to display more information and all unread notifications can be cleared at once , using 3D Touch . Apps that need to be updated frequently can now have notifications that update live . The Notification Center contains a Spotlight search bar . Settings ( edit ) A new Magnifier setting was added which allows users to triple - click the home button and iOS will open the Camera app with magnification on . There are also new `` Color Filters '' settings to compensate for a user 's color blindness . Color Filters options include grayscale , red / green filter for protanopia , green / red filter for deuteranopia , and blue / yellow filter for tritanopia . For the Messages application , users can now turn on Low Quality Image mode , which saves `` your poor iPhone from stuffing itself full of images '' based on new animated stickers and GIFs that can be sent in iMessage . The Wi - Fi menu in Settings now shows warnings about the security of a network and if a network is not connected to the Internet . This is shown to the user as small subtext under the Wi - Fi 's network 's name . `` Raise to Wake '' can be enabled or disabled in Settings . In iOS 10.2 , a `` Preserve Settings '' feature allows users to set up the Camera app to launch with certain settings by default . Options include launching with the Video or Square mode rather than the Photo mode , preserving the last used filter , and preserving the capture settings for Live Photos .

Messages ( edit ) The Messages app incorporates its own App Store , which lets users download third - party iMessage apps that can be accessed within iMessage conversations . Users can use them to send stickers , play games or send rich content , such as media previews , to recipients . The Messages App Store has three navigation fields : Featured , Categories , and Manage . The app has been updated to include many visual effects . Chat bubbles , for example , can be sent with a `` loud '' or `` gentle '' animation that the recipient sees upon receiving . `` Invisible ink '' effect obscures the message until the recipient swipes across it . Full - screen effects like balloons , confetti or fireworks can be sent .

Users can also search for keywords in specific tabs , close all tabs with a single click , and reopen recently closed tabs by long - pressing on the plus icon . Users can also search for items in the Bookmarks and Reading List . TV ( edit ) Included in the iOS 10.2 update is a `` TV '' app . The app , which is only available in the United States , offers a simple , unified experience of content from different video apps , as long as each service supports the feature . The new app replaces the Videos app found in previous iOS versions . Developer APIs ( edit ) iOS 10 gives third - party developers access to APIs to three major iOS system apps and services : Siri , iMessage , and Maps . Developers can : Turn certain activities into Siri voice commands , allowing users to speak voice queries into the Siri personal assistant and Siri returning results from the respective apps . Apps that can integrate with Siri are limited to : sending messages , starting calls , sending and requesting payments , search for photos and videos , ordering taxicab or ride - sharing services , and managing workouts . Add dedicated apps to the iMessage App Store , that lets users add unique sticker packs , share rich content , or interact with certain app functions entirely within an iMessage conversation . Add extensions to Apple Maps , so apps with specific functionality useful in a map , such as a restaurant - booking app , can integrate with the mapping service to handle app functionality directly in the Maps app . iOS 10 allows third - party camera apps to capture RAW image format pictures . Support for shooting photos in Adobe 's DNG RAW format is limited to devices with at least a 12MP camera and a third - party app that supports it , as Apple did not enable the feature in the native Camera app . iOS 10 allows VoIP apps to have the same functionality and interface as the Phone and FaceTime apps have , through the use of a CallKit API . Removed functionality ( edit ) Native support for the VPN protocol PPTP was removed . Apple recommends alternatives which it considers to be more secure . The options to group notifications by app in Notification Center and customize the order of notifications were removed . Reception ( edit ) In his review , The Verge 's Dieter Bohn wrote that the new features introduced in iOS 10 are `` an evolution of some of the design and interaction ideas that Apple has been working on for a couple of years '' . He wrote that iMessage is `` becoming a platform all its own '' , and although he liked that extensions mean access to information from apps without needing to open the respective apps , he wrote that new iMessage interface is difficult to understand and that the use of `` third - party apps , stickers , crazy confetti effects , and emoji all over the place '' is a `` nightmare '' , although finishing with `` Or maybe that 's a wonderland , not a nightmare . Your call . '' Regarding third - party support in Siri , he called it `` great '' , while noting the limited class of apps ( `` calls , messaging , payments , photos , ride - sharing apps , some CarPlay systems , and workouts '' ) , and that sometimes a button press was required to complete the process . Beyond app integrations , he criticized Siri , writing `` Siri does n't seem to have gotten a whole lot smarter than you remember '' . Bohn enjoyed the new machine learning technology present in the Photos app , writing that he was `` impressed '' by Apple 's image recognition technology , which he noted is done locally on the device , but did criticize the error rate , where he compares the technology to Google Photos as a step ahead . Bohn liked the new designs for the Music and Maps apps , saying both the redesigns were `` for the better '' . Bohn particularly enjoyed the new lock screen , where he highlighted that notification bubbles can be 3D Touch - ed to access more information , all without needing to unlock the phone . Other small bits of new features he liked included `` deletable '' apps , upgraded `` widgets '' when 3D Touch - ing a home screen icon , and breaking news notifications in Apple News . Overall , Bohn referred to iOS 10 as `` Still a walled garden , but with more doors '' . Engadget 's Devindra Hardawar wrote that iOS 10 is Apple `` basically polishing a pearl '' . Hardawar noted that the major changes in the release focus on features rather than the visual interface . He wrote that the lock screen is now `` far more customizable than before '' . He praised the new features added to 3D Touch , writing that it `` finally feels useful '' , where he likes that `` 3D Touch works in almost every part of the OS '' . In regard to iMessage , he wrote that it has new features that are `` particularly useful '' , including `` Invisible ink '' that obscures text in a conversation when others might be looking , but criticized the user interface , writing that it `` needs some work '' . The `` Memories '' feature in the new Photos app `` usually turned out well '' , but wrote that `` they 're still clearly a work in progress '' . Hardawar praised the new Apple Music app , but added that `` really , anything is better than the last iteration '' . He also liked lyrics support . He wrote that Siri 's third - party support was `` actually starting to get useful '' , but did run into accuracy issues . He finished by writing that although iOS 10 does add features seen in Google 's Android operating system before , the mobile industry is `` shamelessly getting `` inspired '' by the competition `` . His summary states that `` iOS 10 is a collection of useful changes to an already solid OS '' . In October 2016 , a month after its initial release , 54 % of iOS devices were running iOS 10 , a `` slightly slower migration '' than for the release of iOS 9 in the preceding year , a result speculated by MacRumors 's Tim Hardwick as being caused by an early release issue that disabled some devices and may have `` put some ( users ) off downloading the update '' . User adoption increased to 76 % of active devices in January 2017 , 79 % in February 2017 , 86 % in June 2017 , 87 % in July 2017 , and 89 % in September 2017 before the release of iOS 11 . Problems ( edit ) Initial release bricking issue ( edit ) The initial public release of iOS 10 on September 13 , 2016 saw many iPhones and iPads temporarily disabled , or `` bricked '' , by the over-the - air update , requiring bricked devices to be connected to a Mac or PC with iTunes in order to retry the update or restore the device to factory settings . Apple quickly released iOS 10.0. 1 , and issued a statement : `` We experienced a brief issue with the software update process , affecting a small number of users during the first hour of availability . The problem was quickly resolved and we apologize to those customers . '' Local Backup encryption issue ( edit ) In September 2016 , it was discovered that the encryption of local iOS backups made with iTunes is weaker for iOS 10 devices than for devices running iOS 9 . Russian software firm ElcomSoft discovered that the iOS 10 backup process skips several security checks , making it `` approximately 2,500 times '' faster to try passwords , enabling 6 million password tries per second compared to the 2,400 password tries per second for the same process ElcomSoft has used on iOS 9 . The firm stated that the impact is `` severe '' . Apple acknowledged the problem , said it planned to issue a security update , but also stated that iCloud backups were not affected . The iOS 10.1 update subsequently fixed the issue . Battery shutdowns ( edit ) The Next Web 's Juan Buis wrote in late November 2016 that `` complaints are shared ( on Apple 's support forums ) about various iPhone models turning off when the battery falls below a certain percentage '' , and blames the iOS 10.1. 1 update . He further wrote that `` the original post ( on support forums ) explains that the phone dies when there 's 30 percent charge left , and many others have since replied that they 're experiencing the same . '' iOS 10.2 , released in December 2016 , adds a telemetry diagnostic tool that Apple can use to report battery consumption , for diagnosing reported issues with 30 % battery shutdowns . In February 2017 , Apple released a statement to TechCrunch , saying that the iOS 10.2. 1 update , released on January 23 , had reduced the occurrence of battery shutdowns by `` more than 80 % '' on iPhone 6S devices and `` over 70 % '' on iPhone 6 devices . In full , the statement read : With iOS 10.2. 1 , Apple made improvements to reduce occurrences of unexpected shutdowns that a small number of users were experiencing with their iPhone . iOS 10.2. 1 already has over 50 % of active iOS devices upgraded and the diagnostic data we 've received from upgraders shows that for this small percentage of users experiencing the issue , we 're seeing a more than 80 % reduction in iPhone 6s and over 70 % reduction on iPhone 6 of devices unexpectedly shutting down . We also added the ability for the phone to restart without needing to connect to power , if a user still encounters an unexpected shutdown . It is important to note that these unexpected shutdowns are not a safety issue , but we understand it can be an inconvenience and wanted to fix the issue as quickly as possible . If a customer has any issues with their device they can contact AppleCare . Supported devices ( edit ) With this release , Apple dropped support for devices with either an A5 or an A5X chip : the iPhone 4S , iPad 2 , iPad ( 3rd generation ) , iPad Mini ( 1st generation ) and iPod Touch ( 5th generation ) . iPhone ( edit ) iPhone 5 iPhone 5C iPhone 5S iPhone 6 iPhone 6 Plus iPhone 6S iPhone 6S Plus iPhone SE iPhone 7 iPhone 7 Plus iPod Touch ( edit ) iPod Touch ( 6th generation ) iPad ( edit ) iPad ( 4th generation ) iPad Air iPad Air 2 iPad ( 2017 ) iPad Mini 2 iPad Mini 3 iPad Mini 4 iPad Pro ( 12.9 - inch ) iPad Pro ( 9.7 - inch ) iPad Pro ( 10.5 - inch ) References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` New Downloads Now Available '' .

It is bordered to the north by the Arctic Ocean , to the east by the Atlantic Ocean , to the west and south by the Pacific Ocean , and to the southeast by South America and the Caribbean Sea . North America covers an area of about 24,709,000 square kilometers ( 9,540,000 square miles ) , about 16.5 % of the earth 's land area and about 4.8 % of its total surface . North America is the third largest continent by area , following Asia and Africa , and the fourth by population after Asia , Africa , and Europe . In 2013 , its population was estimated at nearly 565 million people in 23 independent states , or about 7.5 % of the world 's population , if nearby islands ( most notably the Caribbean ) are included . North America was reached by its first human populations during the last glacial period , via crossing the Bering land bridge approximately 40,000 to 17,000 years ago . The so - called Paleo - Indian period is taken to have lasted until about 10,000 years ago ( the beginning of the Archaic or Meso - Indian period ) . The Classic stage spans roughly the 6th to 13th centuries . The Pre-Columbian era ended in 1492 , and the transatlantic migrations -- the arrival of European settlers during the Age of Discovery and the Early Modern period . Present - day cultural and ethnic patterns reflect different kinds of interactions between European colonists , indigenous peoples , African slaves and their descendants . European influences are strongest in the northern parts of the continent while indigenous and African influences are relatively stronger in the south . Because of the history of colonialism , most North Americans speak English , Spanish or French and societies and states commonly reflect Western traditions .

Vespucci , who explored South America between 1497 and 1502 , was the first European to suggest that the Americas were not the East Indies , but a different landmass previously unknown by Europeans . In 1507 , Waldseemüller produced a world map , in which he placed the word `` America '' on the continent of South America , in the middle of what is today Brazil . He explained the rationale for the name in the accompanying book Cosmographiae Introductio : ... ab Americo inventore ... quasi Americi terram sive Americam ( from Americus the discoverer ... as if it were the land of Americus , thus America ) . For Waldseemüller , no one should object to the naming of the land after its discoverer . He used the Latinized version of Vespucci 's name ( Americus Vespucius ) , but in its feminine form `` America '' , following the examples of `` Europa '' , `` Asia '' and `` Africa '' . Later , other mapmakers extended the name America to the northern continent , In 1538 , Gerard Mercator used America on his map of the world for all the Western Hemisphere . Some argue that the convention is to use the surname for naming discoveries except in the case of royalty and so a derivation from `` Amerigo Vespucci '' could be problematic . Ricardo Palma ( 1949 ) proposed a derivation from the `` Amerrique '' mountains of Central America -- Vespucci was the first to discover South America and the Amerrique mountains of Central America , which connected his discoveries to those of Christopher Columbus . Alfred E. Hudd proposed a theory in 1908 that the continents are named after a Welsh merchant named Richard Amerike from Bristol , who is believed to have financed John Cabot 's voyage of discovery from England to Newfoundland in 1497 . A minutely explored belief that has been advanced is that America was named for a Spanish sailor bearing the ancient Visigothic name of ' Amairick ' . Another is that the name is rooted in a Native American language . Extent The term North America maintains various definitions in accordance with location and context . In Canadian English , North America may be used to refer to the United States and Canada together . Alternatively , usage sometimes includes Greenland and Mexico ( as in the North American Free Trade Agreement ) , as well as offshore islands . The UN geoscheme for `` North America '' separates Mexico from the United States and Canada , placing it instead within its designated `` Central America '' region , while also treating the islands of the Caribbean separately from the US / Canada definition -- the UN 's `` North America '' definition still includes the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and Greenland together with the US / Canada continental definition , with both insular entities being tectonically on the North American plate . In France , Italy , Portugal , Spain , Romania , Greece , and the countries of Latin America , the cognates of North America usually designate a subcontinent of the Americas comprising Canada , the United States , and Mexico , and often Greenland , Saint Pierre et Miquelon , and Bermuda . North America has been historically referred to by other names . Spanish North America ( New Spain ) was often referred to as Northern America , and this was the first official name given to Mexico . Regions See also : List of regions of Canada and List of regions of the United States Geographically the North American continent has many regions and subregions . These include cultural , economic , and geographic regions . Economic regions included those formed by trade blocs , such as the North American Trade Agreement bloc and Central American Trade Agreement . Linguistically and culturally , the continent could be divided into Anglo - America and Latin America . Anglo - America includes most of Northern America , Belize , and Caribbean islands with English - speaking populations ( though sub-national entities , such as Louisiana and Quebec , are Francophone in composition ) . The southern North American continent is composed of two regions . These are Central America and the Caribbean . The north of the continent maintains recognized regions as well . In contrast to the common definition of `` North America '' , that which encompasses the whole continent , the term `` North America '' is also used to refer to Canada , Mexico , the United States , and Greenland . The term Northern America refers to the northern-most countries and territories of North America , Canada , the United States , Greenland , Bermuda , and St. Pierre and Miquelon . Although the term does not refer to a unified region , Middle America -- not to be confused with the Midwestern United States -- groups the regions of Central America , the Caribbean , and Mexico . The largest countries of the continent , Canada and the United States , also contain well - defined and recognized regions . In the case of Canada these are the British Columbia Coast , Canadian Prairies , Central Canada , Atlantic Canada , and Northern Canada . These regions also contain many subregions . In the case of the United States -- and in accordance with the US Census Bureau definitions -- these regions are : New England , Mid-Atlantic , East North Central States , West North Central States , South Atlantic States , East South Central States , West South Central States , Mountain States , and Pacific States . Regions shared between both nations included the Great Lakes Region . Megalopolises have also formed between both nations in the case of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes Megaregion .

The Canadian Shield is the largest exposure of this craton . From the Late Paleozoic to Early Mesozoic eras , North America was joined with the other modern - day continents as part of the supercontinent Pangaea , with Eurasia to its east . One of the results of the formation of Pangaea was the Appalachian Mountains , which formed some 480 million years ago , making it among the oldest mountain ranges in the world . When Pangaea began to rift around 200 million years ago , North America became part of Laurasia , before it separated from Eurasia as its own continent during the mid-Cretaceous period . The Rockies and other western mountain ranges began forming around this time from a period of mountain building called the Laramide orogeny , between 80 and 55 million years ago . The formation of the Isthmus of Panama that connected the continent to South America arguably occurred approximately 12 to 15 million years ago , and the Great Lakes ( as well as many other northern freshwater lakes and rivers ) were carved by receding glaciers about 10,000 years ago . North America is the source of much of what humanity knows about geologic time periods . The geographic area that would later become the United States has been the source of more varieties of dinosaurs than any other modern country . According to paleontologist Peter Dodson , this is primarily due to stratigraphy , climate and geography , human resources , and history . Much of the Mesozoic Era is represented by exposed outcrops in the many arid regions of the continent . The most significant Late Jurassic dinosaur - bearing fossil deposit in North America is the Morrison Formation of the western United States . Pre-Columbian The El Castillo pyramid , at Chichén Itzá , Mexico The indigenous peoples of North America have many creation myths by which they assert that they have been present on the land since its creation . The specifics of Paleo - Indian migration to and throughout the Americas , including the exact dates and routes traveled , are subject to ongoing research and discussion . The traditional theory has been that these early migrants moved into the Beringia land bridge between eastern Siberia and present - day Alaska around 25,000 to 11,000 years ago . The few agreements achieved to date are the origin from Central Asia , with widespread habitation of the Americas during the end of the last glacial period , or more specifically what is known as the late glacial maximum , around 13,000 years before present . Some genetic research indicated secondary waves of migration occurred after the initial Paleo - Indian colonization , but prior to modern Inuit , Inupiat and Yupik expansions . Before contact with Europeans , the natives of North America were divided into many different polities , from small bands of a few families to large empires . They lived in several `` culture areas '' , which roughly correspond to geographic and biological zones and give a good indication of the main lifeway or occupation of the people who lived there ( e.g. , the bison hunters of the Great Plains , or the farmers of Mesoamerica ) . Native groups can also be classified by their language family ( e.g. , Athapascan or Uto - Aztecan ) . Peoples with similar languages did not always share the same material culture , nor were they always allies . Anthropologists think that the Inuit people of the high Arctic came to North America much later than other native groups , as evidenced by the disappearance of Dorset culture artifacts from the archaeological record , and their replacement by the Thule people . During the thousands of years of native habitation on the continent , cultures changed and shifted . One of the oldest cultures yet found is the Clovis culture of modern New Mexico . Later cultures include the Mississippian culture and related Mound building cultures , found in the Mississippi river valley and the Pueblo culture of what is now the Four Corners . The more southern cultural groups of North America were responsible for the domestication of many common crops now used around the world , such as tomatoes and squash . Perhaps most importantly they domesticated one of the world 's major staples , maize ( corn ) . The earliest verifiable instance of pre-Columbian trans - oceanic contact by any European culture with the landmasses that geologically constitute the `` mainland '' of modern North America has been dated to the end of the 10th century CE -- this site , situated at the northernmost extent of the island named Newfoundland , is known as L'Anse aux Meadows , where unmistakable evidence of Norse settlement was uncovered in the early 1960s . As a result of the development of agriculture in the south , many important cultural advances were made there . For example , the Maya civilization developed a writing system , built huge pyramids and temples , had a complex calendar , and developed the concept of zero around 400 CE , a few hundred years after the Mesopotamians . The Mayan culture was still present in southern Mexico and Guatemala when the Spanish explorers arrived , but political dominance in the area had shifted to the Aztec Empire whose capital city Tenochtitlan was located further north in the Valley of Mexico . The Aztecs were conquered in 1521 by Hernán Cortés . Colonial period Benjamin West 's The Death of General Wolfe ( 1771 ) depicting the Battle of the Plains of Abraham Main article : European colonization of the Americas Further information : Timeline of the European colonization of North America , British America , French America , Viceroyalty of New Spain , and Russian colonization of the Americas During the Age of Discovery , Europeans explored and staked claims to various parts of North America . Upon their arrival in the `` New World '' , the Native American population declined substantially , because of violent conflicts with the invaders and the introduction of European diseases to which the Native Americans lacked immunity . Native culture changed drastically and their affiliation with political and cultural groups also changed . Several linguistic groups died out , and others changed quite quickly . The names and cultures that Europeans recorded were not necessarily the same as the names they had used a few generations before , or the ones in use today . Britain , Spain , and France took over extensive territories in North America -- and fought over them . In the late 18th century and beginning of the 19th , independence movements that sprung up across the continent , led to the creation of the modern countries in the area . The 13 British colonies on the North Atlantic coast declared independence in 1776 , becoming the United States of America . Canada was formed from the unification of northern territories controlled by Britain and France . New Spain , a territory that stretched from modern - day southern US to Central America , declared independence in 1810 , becoming the First Mexican Empire . In 1823 the former Captaincy General of Guatemala , then part of the Mexican Empire , became the first independent state in Central America , officially changing its name to the United Provinces of Central America . Geography Main article : Geography of North America Satellite imagery of North America North America occupies the northern portion of the landmass generally referred to as the New World , the Western Hemisphere , the Americas , or simply America ( which , less commonly , is considered by some as a single continent with North America a subcontinent ) . North America 's only land connection to South America is at the Isthmus of Panama . The continent is delimited on the southeast by most geographers at the Darién watershed along the Colombia - Panama border , placing all of Panama within North America . Alternatively , some geologists physiographically locate its southern limit at the Isthmus of Tehuantepec , Mexico , with Central America extending southeastward to South America from this point . The Caribbean islands , or West Indies , are considered part of North America . The continental coastline is long and irregular . The Gulf of Mexico is the largest body of water indenting the continent , followed by Hudson Bay . Others include the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the Gulf of California . Before the Central American isthmus formed , the region had been underwater . The islands of the West Indies delineate a submerged former land bridge , which had connected North and South America via what are now Florida and Venezuela . There are numerous islands off the continent 's coasts ; principally , the Arctic Archipelago , the Bahamas , Turks & Caicos , the Greater and Lesser Antilles , the Aleutian Islands ( some of which are in the Eastern Hemisphere proper ) , the Alexander Archipelago , the many thousand islands of the British Columbia Coast , and Newfoundland . Greenland , a self - governing Danish island , and the world 's largest , is on the same tectonic plate ( the North American Plate ) and is part of North America geographically . In a geologic sense , Bermuda is not part of the Americas , but an oceanic island which was formed on the fissure of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge over 100 million years ago . The nearest landmass to it is Cape Hatteras , North Carolina . However , Bermuda is often thought of as part of North America , especially given its historical , political and cultural ties to Virginia and other parts of the continent . Moraine Lake in Banff National Park The vast majority of North America is on the North American Plate . Parts of western Mexico , including Baja California , and of California , including the cities of San Diego , Los Angeles , and Santa Cruz , lie on the eastern edge of the Pacific Plate , with the two plates meeting along the San Andreas fault . The southernmost portion of the continent and much of the West Indies lie on the Caribbean Plate , whereas the Juan de Fuca and Cocos plates border the North American Plate on its western frontier . The continent can be divided into four great regions ( each of which contains many subregions ) : the Great Plains stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian Arctic ; the geologically young , mountainous west , including the Rocky Mountains , the Great Basin , California and Alaska ; the raised but relatively flat plateau of the Canadian Shield in the northeast ; and the varied eastern region , which includes the Appalachian Mountains , the coastal plain along the Atlantic seaboard , and the Florida peninsula . Mexico , with its long plateaus and cordilleras , falls largely in the western region , although the eastern coastal plain does extend south along the Gulf . The western mountains are split in the middle into the main range of the Rockies and the coast ranges in California , Oregon , Washington , and British Columbia , with the Great Basin -- a lower area containing smaller ranges and low - lying deserts -- in between . The highest peak is Denali in Alaska . The United States Geographical Survey ( USGS ) states that the geographic center of North America is `` 6 miles ( 10 km ) west of Balta , Pierce County , North Dakota '' at about 48 ° 10 ′ N 100 ° 10 ′ W  /  48.167 ° N 100.167 ° W  / 48.167 ; - 100.167 , about 24 kilometres ( 15 mi ) from Rugby , North Dakota . The USGS further states that `` No marked or monumented point has been established by any government agency as the geographic center of either the 50 States , the conterminous United States , or the North American continent . '' Nonetheless , there is a 4.6 - metre ( 15 ft ) field stone obelisk in Rugby claiming to mark the center . The North American continental pole of inaccessibility is located 1,650 km ( 1,030 mi ) from the nearest coastline , between Allen and Kyle , South Dakota at 43 ° 22 ′ N 101 ° 58 ′ W  /  43.36 ° N 101.97 ° W  / 43.36 ; - 101.97  ( Pole of Inaccessibility North America ) . Geology Main article : Geology of North America Geologic Map of North America published by USGS Sedimentary , volcanic , plutonic , and metamorphic rock types of North America Canadian geology Geologically , Canada is one of the oldest regions in the world , with more than half of the region consisting of precambrian rocks that have been above sea level since the beginning of the Palaeozoic era . Canada 's mineral resources are diverse and extensive . Across the Canadian Shield and in the north there are large iron , nickel , zinc , copper , gold , lead , molybdenum , and uranium reserves . Large diamond concentrations have been recently developed in the Arctic , making Canada one of the world 's largest producers . Throughout the Shield there are many mining towns extracting these minerals . The largest , and best known , is Sudbury , Ontario . Sudbury is an exception to the normal process of forming minerals in the Shield since there is significant evidence that the Sudbury Basin is an ancient meteorite impact crater . The nearby , but less known Temagami Magnetic Anomaly has striking similarities to the Sudbury Basin . Its magnetic anomalies are very similar to the Sudbury Basin , and so it could be a second metal - rich impact crater . The Shield is also covered by vast boreal forests that support an important logging industry . United States geology The lower 48 US states can be divided into roughly five physiographic provinces : The American cordillera The Canadian Shield Northern portion of the upper midwestern United States . The stable platform The coastal plain The Appalachian orogenic belt The geology of Alaska is typical of that of the cordillera , while the major islands of Hawaii consist of Neogene volcanics erupted over a hot spot . North America bedrock and terrain North American cratons and basement rocks Central American geology Central America rests in the Caribbean Plate . Central America is geologically active with volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occurring from time to time . In 1976 Guatemala was hit by a major earthquake , killing 23,000 people ; Managua , the capital of Nicaragua , was devastated by earthquakes in 1931 and 1972 , the last one killing about 5,000 people ; three earthquakes devastated El Salvador , one in 1986 and two in 2001 ; one earthquake devastated northern and central Costa Rica in 2009 , killing at least 34 people ; in Honduras a powerful earthquake killed seven people in 2009 . Volcanic eruptions are common in the region . In 1968 the Arenal Volcano , in Costa Rica , erupted and killed 87 people . Fertile soils from weathered volcanic lavas have made it possible to sustain dense populations in the agriculturally productive highland areas . Central America has many mountain ranges ; the longest are the Sierra Madre de Chiapas , the Cordillera Isabelia , and the Cordillera de Talamanca . Between the mountain ranges lie fertile valleys that are suitable for the people ; in fact , most of the population of Honduras , Costa Rica , and Guatemala live in valleys . Valleys are also suitable for the production of coffee , beans , and other crops . Climate North America map of Köppen climate classification North America is a very large continent which surpasses the Arctic Circle , and the Tropic of Cancer . Greenland , along with the Canadian Shield , is tundra with average temperatures ranging from 10 to 20 ° C ( 50 to 68 ° F ) , but central Greenland is composed of a very large ice sheet . This tundra radiates throughout Canada , but its border ends near the Rocky Mountains ( but still contains Alaska ) and at the end of the Canadian Shield , near the Great Lakes . Climate west of the Cascades is described as being a temperate weather with average precipitation 20 inches ( 510 mm ) . Climate in coastal California is described to be Mediterranean , with average temperatures in cities like San Francisco ranging from 57 to 70 ° F ( 14 to 21 ° C ) over the course of the year . Stretching from the East Coast to eastern North Dakota , and stretching down to Kansas , is the continental - humid climate featuring intense seasons , with a large amount of annual precipitation , with places like New York City averaging 50 inches ( 1,300 mm ) . Starting at the southern border of the continental - humid climate and stretching to the Gulf of Mexico ( whilst encompassing the eastern half of Texas ) is the subtropical climate . This area has the wettest cities in the contiguous U.S. with annual precipitation reaching 67 inches ( 1,700 mm ) in Mobile , Alabama . Stretching from the borders of the continental humid and subtropical climates , and going west to the Cascades Sierra Nevada , south to the southern tip of durango , north to the border with tundra climate , the steppe / desert climate is the driest climate in the U.S. Ecology This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( March 2015 ) See also : List of endangered plants in North America Notable North American fauna include the bison , black bear , prairie dog , turkey , pronghorn , raccoon , coyote and monarch butterfly . Notable plants that were domesticated in North America include tobacco , maize , squash , tomato , sunflower , blueberry , avocado , cotton , chile pepper and vanilla . Demographics Further information : Demographics of the United States , Demographics of Canada , and Demographics of Mexico Non-native nations ' control and claims over North America c. 1750 -- 2008 Native languages of the US , Canada and Greenland Economically , Canada and the United States are the wealthiest and most developed nations in the continent , followed by Mexico , a newly industrialized country . The countries of Central America and the Caribbean are at various levels of economic and human development . For example , small Caribbean island - nations , such as Barbados , Trinidad and Tobago , and Antigua and Barbuda , have a higher GDP ( PPP ) per capita than Mexico due to their smaller populations . Panama and Costa Rica have a significantly higher Human Development Index and GDP than the rest of the Central American nations . Additionally , despite Greenland 's vast resources in oil and minerals , much of them remain untapped , and the island is economically dependent on fishing , tourism , and subsidies from Denmark . Nevertheless , the island is highly developed . Demographically , North America is ethnically diverse . Its three main groups are Caucasians , Mestizos and Blacks . There is a significant minority of Indigenous Americans and Asians among other less numerous groups . Languages Main article : Languages of North America Languages spoken in the Americas The dominant languages in North America are English , Spanish , and French . Danish is prevalent in Greenland alongside Greenlandic , and Dutch is spoken side by side local languages in the Dutch Caribbean . The term Anglo - America is used to refer to the anglophone countries of the Americas : namely Canada ( where English and French are co-official ) and the United States , but also sometimes Belize and parts of the tropics , especially the Commonwealth Caribbean . Latin America refers to the other areas of the Americas ( generally south of the United States ) where the Romance languages , derived from Latin , of Spanish and Portuguese ( but French speaking countries are not usually included ) predominate : the other republics of Central America ( but not always Belize ) , part of the Caribbean ( not the Dutch - , English - , or French - speaking areas ) , Mexico , and most of South America ( except Guyana , Suriname , French Guiana ( France ) , and the Falkland Islands ( UK ) ) . The French language has historically played a significant role in North America and now retains a distinctive presence in some regions . Canada is officially bilingual . French is the official language of the Province of Quebec , where 95 % of the people speak it as either their first or second language , and it is co-official with English in the Province of New Brunswick . Other French - speaking locales include the Province of Ontario ( the official language is English , but there are an estimated 600,000 Franco - Ontarians ) , the Province of Manitoba ( co-official as de jure with English ) , the French West Indies and Saint - Pierre et Miquelon , as well as the US state of Louisiana , where French is also an official language . Haiti is included with this group based on historical association but Haitians speak both Creole and French . Similarly , French and French Antillean Creole is spoken in Saint Lucia and the Commonwealth of Dominica alongside English . Religions Main article : Religion in North America See also : Religions of the world Washington National Cathedral , in Washington , D.C. . The United States has the most people in the world identifying as Christian . Christianity is the largest religion in the United States , Canada and Mexico . According to a 2012 Pew Research Center survey , 77 % of the population considered themselves Christians . Christianity also is the predominant religion in the 23 dependent territories in North America . The United States has the largest Christian population in the world , with nearly 247 million Christians ( 70 % ) , although other countries have higher percentages of Christians among their populations . Mexico has the world 's second largest number of Catholics , surpassed only by Brazil . A 2015 study estimates about 493,000 Christian believers from a Muslim background in North America , most of them belonging to some form of Protestantism . According to the same study religiously unaffiliated ( include agnostic and atheist ) make up about 17 % of the population of Canada and the United States . No religion make up about 24 % of the United States population , and 24 % of Canada total population . Canada , the United States and Mexico host communities of both Jews ( 6 million or about 1.8 % ) , Buddhists ( 3.8 million or 1.1 % ) and Muslims ( 3.4 million or 1.0 % ) . The biggest number of Jewish individuals can be found in the United States ( 5.4 million ) , Canada ( 375,000 ) and Mexico ( 67,476 ) . The United States host the largest Muslim population in North America with 2.7 million or 0.9 % , While Canada host about one million Muslim or 3.2 % of the population . While in Mexico there were 3,700 Muslims in the country . In 2012 , U-T San Diego estimated U.S. practitioners of Buddhism at 1.2 million people , of whom 40 % are living in Southern California . The predominant religion in Central America is Christianity ( 96 % ) . Beginning with the Spanish colonization of Central America in the 16th century , Roman Catholicism became the most popular religion in the region until the first half of the 20th century . Since the 1960s , there has been an increase in other Christian groups , particularly Protestantism , as well as other religious organizations , and individuals identifying themselves as having no religion . Also Christianity is the predominant religion in the Caribbean ( 85 % ) . Other religious groups in the region are Hinduism , Islam , Rastafari ( in Jamaica ) , and Afro - American religions such as Santería and Vodou . Populace North American cities Mexico City Los Angeles Toronto Chicago New York City See also : List of North American countries by population , List of North American cities by population , and List of North American metropolitan areas by population The most populous country in North America is the United States with 318.4 million persons . The second largest country is Mexico with a population of 112,322,757 . Canada is the third most populous country with 32,623,490 . The majority of Caribbean island - nations have national populations under a million , though Cuba , Dominican Republic , Haiti , Puerto Rico ( a territory of the United States ) , Jamaica , and Trinidad and Tobago each have populations higher than a million . Greenland has a small population of 55,984 for its massive size ( 2,166,000 km2 or 836,300 mi2 ) , and therefore , it has the world 's lowest population density at 0.026 pop. / km2 ( 0.067 pop. / mi2 ) . While the United States , Canada , and Mexico maintain the largest populations , large city populations are not restricted to those nations . There are also large cities in the Caribbean . The largest cities in North America , by far , are Mexico City and New York . These cities are the only cities on the continent to exceed eight million , and two of three in the Americas . Next in size are Los Angeles , Toronto , Chicago , Havana , Santo Domingo , and Montreal . Cities in the sunbelt regions of the United States , such as those in Southern California and Houston , Phoenix , Miami , Atlanta , and Las Vegas , are experiencing rapid growth . These causes included warm temperatures , retirement of Baby Boomers , large industry , and the influx of immigrants . Cities near the United States border , particularly in Mexico , are also experiencing large amounts of growth . Most notable is Tijuana , a city bordering San Diego that receives immigrants from all over Latin America and parts of Europe and Asia . Yet as cities grow in these warmer regions of North America , they are increasingly forced to deal with the major issue of water shortages . Eight of the top ten metropolitan areas are located in the United States . These metropolitan areas all have a population of above 5.5 million and include the New York City metropolitan area , Los Angeles metropolitan area , Chicago metropolitan area , and the Dallas -- Fort Worth metroplex . Whilst the majority of the largest metropolitan areas are within the United States , Mexico is host to the largest metropolitan area by population in North America : Greater Mexico City . Canada also breaks into the top ten largest metropolitan areas with the Toronto metropolitan area having six million people . The proximity of cities to each other on the Canada -- United States border and Mexico -- United States border has led to the rise of international metropolitan areas . These urban agglomerations are observed at their largest and most productive in Detroit -- Windsor and San Diego -- Tijuana and experience large commercial , economic , and cultural activity . The metropolitan areas are responsible for millions of dollars of trade dependent on international freight . In Detroit - Windsor the Border Transportation Partnership study in 2004 concluded US $13 billion was dependent on the Detroit -- Windsor international border crossing while in San Diego - Tijuana freight at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry was valued at US $20 billion . North America has also been witness to the growth of megapolitan areas . In the United States exists eleven megaregions that transcend international borders and comprise Canadian and Mexican metropolitan regions . These are the Arizona Sun Corridor , Cascadia , Florida , Front Range , Great Lakes Megaregion , Gulf Coast Megaregion , Northeast , Northern California , Piedmont Atlantic , Southern California , and the Texas Triangle . Canada and Mexico are also the home of megaregions . These include the Quebec City -- Windsor Corridor , Golden Horseshoe -- both of which are considered part of the Great Lakes Megaregion -- and megalopolis of Central Mexico . Traditionally the largest megaregion has been considered the Boston - Washington , D.C. Corridor , or the Northeast , as the region is one massive contiguous area . Yet megaregion criterion have allowed the Great Lakes Megalopolis to maintain status as the most populated region , being home to 53,768,125 people in 2000 .

Canada , Mexico , and the United States have significant and multifaceted economic systems . The United States has the largest economy of all three countries and in the world . In 2016 , the U.S. had an estimated per capita gross domestic product ( PPP ) of $57,466 according to the World Bank , and is the most technologically developed economy of the three . The United States ' services sector comprises 77 % of the country 's GDP ( estimated in 2010 ) , industry comprises 22 % and agriculture comprises 1.2 % . The U.S. economy is also the fastest growing economy in North America and the Americas as a whole , with the highest GDP per capita in the Americas as well . Canada shows significant growth in the sectors of services , mining and manufacturing . Canada 's per capita GDP ( PPP ) was estimated at $44,656 and it had the 11th largest GDP ( nominal ) in 2014 . Canada 's services sector comprises 78 % of the country 's GDP ( estimated in 2010 ) , industry comprises 20 % and agriculture comprises 2 % . Mexico has a per capita GDP ( PPP ) of $16,111 and as of 2014 is the 15th largest GDP ( nominal ) in the world . Being a newly industrialized country , Mexico maintains both modern and outdated industrial and agricultural facilities and operations . Its main sources of income are oil , industrial exports , manufactured goods , electronics , heavy industry , automobiles , construction , food , banking and financial services . The North American economy is well defined and structured in three main economic areas . These areas are the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ) , Caribbean Community and Common Market ( CARICOM ) , and the Central American Common Market ( CACM ) . Of these trade blocs , the United States takes part in two . In addition to the larger trade blocs there is the Canada - Costa Rica Free Trade Agreement among numerous other free trade relations , often between the larger , more developed countries and Central American and Caribbean countries . The North America Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ) forms one of the four largest trade blocs in the world . Its implementation in 1994 was designed for economic homogenization with hopes of eliminating barriers of trade and foreign investment between Canada , the United States and Mexico . While Canada and the United States already conducted the largest bilateral trade relationship -- and to present day still do -- in the world and Canada -- United States trade relations already allowed trade without national taxes and tariffs , NAFTA allowed Mexico to experience a similar duty - free trade . The free trade agreement allowed for the elimination of tariffs that had previously been in place on United States - Mexico trade . Trade volume has steadily increased annually and in 2010 , surface trade between the three NAFTA nations reached an all - time historical increase of 24.3 % or US $791 billion . The NAFTA trade bloc GDP ( PPP ) is the world 's largest with US $17.617 trillion . This is in part attributed to the fact that the economy of the United States is the world 's largest national economy ; the country had a nominal GDP of approximately $14.7 trillion in 2010 . The countries of NAFTA are also some of each other 's largest trade partners . The United States is the largest trade partner of Canada and Mexico ; while Canada and Mexico are each other 's third largest trade partners . The Caribbean trade bloc -- CARICOM -- came into agreement in 1973 when it was signed by 15 Caribbean nations . As of 2000 , CARICOM trade volume was US $96 billion . CARICOM also allowed for the creation of a common passport for associated nations . In the past decade the trade bloc focused largely on Free Trade Agreements and under the CARICOM Office of Trade Negotiations ( OTN ) free trade agreements have been signed into effect . Integration of Central American economies occurred under the signing of the Central American Common Market agreement in 1961 ; this was the first attempt to engage the nations of this area into stronger financial cooperation . Recent implementation of the Central American Free Trade Agreement ( CAFTA ) has left the future of the CACM unclear . The Central American Free Trade Agreement was signed by five Central American countries , the Dominican Republic , and the United States . The focal point of CAFTA is to create a free trade area similar to that of NAFTA . In addition to the United States , Canada also has relations in Central American trade blocs . Currently under proposal , the Canada -- Central American Free Trade Agreement ( CA4 ) would operate much the same as CAFTA with the United States does . These nations also take part in inter-continental trade blocs . Mexico takes a part in the G3 Free Trade Agreement with Colombia and Venezuela and has a trade agreement with the EU . The United States has proposed and maintained trade agreements under the Transatlantic Free Trade Area between itself and the European Union ; the US - Middle East Free Trade Area between numerous Middle Eastern nations and itself ; and the Trans - Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership between Southeast Asian nations , Australia , and New Zealand . Transport Main article : Transportation in North America The full Pan American Highway ( including South America ) , from Prudhoe Bay , Alaska to Ushuaia , Argentina The Pan-American Highway route in the Americas is the portion of a network of roads nearly 48,000 km ( 30,000 mi ) in length which travels through the mainland nations . No definitive length of the Pan-American Highway exists because the US and Canadian governments have never officially defined any specific routes as being part of the Pan-American Highway , and Mexico officially has many branches connecting to the US border . However , the total length of the portion from Mexico to the northern extremity of the highway is roughly 26,000 km ( 16,000 mi ) . 2006 map of the North American Class I railroad network The First Transcontinental Railroad in the United States was built in the 1860s , linking the railroad network of the eastern US with California on the Pacific coast . Finished on 10 May 1869 at the famous golden spike event at Promontory Summit , Utah , it created a nationwide mechanized transportation network that revolutionized the population and economy of the American West , catalyzing the transition from the wagon trains of previous decades to a modern transportation system . Although an accomplishment , it achieved the status of first transcontinental railroad by connecting myriad eastern US railroads to the Pacific and was not the largest single railroad system in the world . The Canadian Grand Trunk Railway ( GTR ) had , by 1867 , already accumulated more than 2,055 km ( 1,277 mi ) of track by connecting Ontario with the Canadian Atlantic provinces west as far as Port Huron , Michigan , through Sarnia , Ontario . Communications A shared telephone system known as the North American Numbering Plan ( NANP ) is an integrated telephone numbering plan of 24 countries and territories : the United States and its territories , Canada , Bermuda , and 17 Caribbean nations . Culture Canada and the United States were both former British colonies . There is frequent cultural interplay between the United States and English - speaking Canada . Greenland shares some cultural ties with the indigenous people of Canada but is considered Nordic and has strong Danish ties due to centuries of colonization by Denmark . Spanish - speaking North America shares a common past as former Spanish colonies . In Mexico and the Central American countries where civilizations like the Maya developed , indigenous people preserve traditions across modern boundaries . Central American and Spanish - speaking Caribbean nations have historically had more in common due to geographical proximity . Northern Mexico , particularly in the cities of Monterrey , Tijuana , Ciudad Juárez , and Mexicali , is strongly influenced by the culture and way of life of the United States . Of the aforementioned cities , Monterrey has been regarded as the most Americanized city in Mexico . Immigration to the United States and Canada remains a significant attribute of many nations close to the southern border of the US . The Anglophone Caribbean states have witnessed the decline of the British Empire and its influence on the region , and its replacement by the economic influence of Northern America . In the Anglophone Caribbean . This is partly due to the relatively small populations of the English - speaking Caribbean countries , and also because many of them now have more people living abroad than those remaining at home . Northern Mexico , the Western United States and Alberta , Canada share a cowboy culture . Sports Canada , Mexico and the US submitted a joint bid to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup .

She is a foul - tempered monarch whom Carroll himself describes as `` a blind fury '' , and who is quick to give death sentences at the slightest offense . One of her most famous lines she states often is `` Off with their heads ! '' The Queen is referred to as a card from a pack of playing cards by Alice , yet somehow she is able to talk and is the ruler of the lands in the story , alongside her tiny husband , the King of Hearts . She is often confused with the Red Queen from the sequel , Through the Looking - Glass , although the two are very different .

They drop to the ground face down at the approach of the Queen of Hearts , whom Alice has never met . When the Queen arrives and asks Alice who is lying on the ground ( since the backs of all playing cards look alike ) , Alice tells her that she does not know . The Queen then becomes frustrated and commands that her head be severed . She is deterred by her comparatively moderate husband by being reminded that Alice is only a child . Generally , however , as we are told by Carroll : The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties , great or small . ' Off with his head ! ' she said , without even looking round . One of the Queen 's hobbies -- besides ordering executions -- is croquet ; however it is Wonderland croquet , where the balls are live hedgehogs and the mallets are flamingoes . This is presumably with the aim that the birds ' blunt beaks should strike , but , as Alice observes , it is complicated by the fact that they keep looking back up at the players - as well as the hedgehogs ' tendency to scuttle away without waiting to be hit . The Queen 's soldiers act as the arches ( or hoops ) on the croquet grounds , but have to leave off being arches every time the Queen has an executioner drag away the victim , so that , by the end of the game in the story , the only players that remain are the Queen herself , the King , and Alice . Despite the frequency of death sentences , it would appear few people are actually beheaded , the King of Hearts , quietly pardons many of his subjects when the Queen is not looking ( although this did not seem to be the case with The Duchess ) , and her soldiers humor her but do not carry out her orders . The Gryphon tells Alice , `` It 's all her fancy : she never executes nobody , you know . '' Nevertheless , all creatures in Wonderland fear the Queen . In the final chapters , the Queen sentences Alice again ( for defending the Knave of Hearts ) , and she offers a bizarre approach towards justice : sentence before verdict . Modern portrayals in popular culture usually let her play the role of a villain because of the menace the character exemplifies , but in the book she does not fill that purpose . She is just one of the many obstacles that Alice has to encounter on the journey , but unlike other obstacles , she makes a higher potential threat . Origins ( edit ) The Queen is believed by some to be a caricature of Queen Victoria , with elements of reality that Dodgson felt correctly would make her at once instantly recognizable to parents reading the story to children , and also fantastical enough to make her unrecognizable to children . The reference is explicit in Jonathan Miller 's 1966 television version where she and the King of Hearts are portrayed without any attempt at fantasy , or disguise as to their true natures or personality . The Queen may also be a reference to Queen Margaret of the House of Lancaster . During the War of the Roses , a red rose was the symbol of the House Lancaster . Their rivals , the House of York , had a white rose for their symbol . The gardeners ' painting the white roses red may be a reference to these two houses . Illustrations ( edit ) Image of Elizabeth de Mowbray , Duchess of Norfolk that inspired the original illustrations of the Queen of Hearts . After unsuccessfully attempting to illustrate Alice 's Adventures in Wonderland himself , Lewis Carroll was persuaded to engage a professional artist to provide the illustrations . He turned to cartoonist John Tenniel , who was known for his regular contributions to the satirical magazine Punch ( published 1841 -- 1992 , 1996 -- 2002 ) . Tenniel 's inspiration for the Queen of Hearts was an image of Elizabeth de Mowbray , Duchess of Norfolk in one of the medieval stained glass windows at Holy Trinity Church , Long Melford , Suffolk . The illustrations for the Alice books were engraved onto blocks of wood , to be printed in the wood engraving process . The original wood blocks are now in the collection of the Bodleian Library in Oxford , England . They are not usually on public display , but were exhibited in 2003 . Confusion with the Red Queen ( edit ) She is commonly mistaken for the Red Queen in the story 's sequel , Through the Looking - Glass , but in reality shares none of her characteristics other than being a queen . Indeed , Carroll , in his lifetime , made the distinction of the two Queens by saying : `` I pictured to myself the Queen of Hearts as a sort of embodiment of ungovernable passion -- a blind and aimless Fury . The Red Queen I pictured as a Fury , but of another type ; her passion must be cold and calm -- she must be formal and strict , yet not unkindly ; pedantic to the 10th degree , the concentrated essence of all governesses ! '' -- Lewis Carroll , in `` Alice on the Stage '' The 1951 animated film Alice in Wonderland perpetuates the long - standing confusion between the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts . In the film , the Queen of Hearts delivers several of the Red Queen 's statements , the most notable being based on her `` all the ways about here belong to me '' . Both characters say this to suggest importance and possible arrogance , but in the Red Queen 's case it has a double meaning since her status as a Chess - queen means that she can move in any direction she desires . In the American McGee 's Alice adaptation of the books , the characters are also conflated , leading to further popular misconception . Adaptions ( edit ) Disney ( edit ) Disney 's adaptation of the Queen of Hearts . In the Disney animated feature Alice in Wonderland , the Queen of Hearts is the main antagonist who appears as Alice puts it in a moment of temper , a `` fat , pompous , bad tempered old tyrant '' . The character was voiced by Verna Felton . She is portrayed as a haughty sadist , who enjoys decapitating anyone who merely annoys her . Her presence is all the more striking because of how tiny her husband the King is ( he barely comes up to her knee ) . Similar to the book , Alice meets three cards painting the roses red , since they planted white roses by mistake . When the Queen arrives , she orders those three cards beheaded , then turns her attention to Alice . Refusing to answer her questions with presumption that only she can ask them , she quickly ropes her into a game of croquet . The game ends with the Queen tripping herself over , due to the Cheshire Cat 's mischievous antics . The Queen angrily blames Alice for it , but before she can give the order , the King suggests holding a trial for Alice . The Queen , grudgingly , but reasonably , agrees . The Queen calls the March Hare , the Dormouse , and the Mad Hatter to witness , who hold an unbirthday party for her and cheer her up considerably . During the party , the Cheshire Cat reappears and upsets the Dormouse . The frightened Dormouse runs all over , and in an attempt to crush the mouse , the King of Hearts accidentally hits the Queen on the head with the gavel , which is hastily passed into the March Hare 's hands , then the Hatter 's , and finally Alice 's . The Queen , of course , blames Alice for it , and is going to have her beheaded . But Alice eats mushrooms she had procured earlier , which make her grow bigger . Although Rule No. 42 says that anyone more than a mile high must leave the court immediately , Alice feels free to call the queen a `` fat , pompous , bad tempered old tyrant '' . Unfortunately , she subsequently shrinks down to her normal size , but flees and is able to escape . Of interest is the fact that Disney 's Queen of Hearts seems to be an amalgamation of the Queen from the book , the Duchess , and the Red Queen of Through The Looking - Glass . When pleased , she can be quite pleasant , but is still bossy and often impatient , and can almost at once change to enraged . As she is considered to be one of the members of the Disney Villains group of characters , the Queen of Hearts exacted her revenge upon Alice in the game Disney 's Villains ' Revenge where she stole the ending page of the story and changed the ending , so Alice lost her head . Jiminy Cricket , the player , and Alice 's headless body retrieve the head and escape the labyrinth of the Queen . They meet one last time in the final battle and she surrenders . The Queen of Hearts is the final boss on the Japanese version of Mickey Mousecapade , a 1987 video game where Alice is her hostage . She is also a greetable character at the Walt Disney World Resort . In Mickey 's House of Villains , the Queen of Hearts appears as one of the villain guests of the House of Mouse , voiced by Tress MacNeille . The Queen appears in the Square - Enix / Disney video game Kingdom Hearts , in her homeworld . As in the film , she holds Alice on trial , only this time for attempting to steal her heart . The main heroes in the game , Sora , Donald and Goofy , intervene , telling the Queen that Alice is innocent . The Queen challenges them to provide proof of their theory , and with help from the Cheshire Cat , the three are able to do so . The Queen , however , enraged at being proven wrong , orders them executed and Alice imprisoned in a cage on the roof . The three are able to fight off the Queen 's guards and destroy the cage controls , but Alice is kidnapped , before they can save her . The Queen orders a search for Alice , and temporarily pardons Sora , Donald and Goofy , requesting that they look for Alice as well . She returns in Kingdom Hearts : Chain of Memories , only this time as a figment of Sora 's memories . Again , she holds Alice on trial , this time for attempting to steal her memories . In both games , Sora , Donald and Goofy prove Alice 's innocence by defeating the Trickmaster Heartless , the real culprit . The Queen congratulates Sora for solving the mystery , and once again demonstrates her bi-polar personality by pardoning Alice . She is absent in Kingdom Hearts II , but appears in Kingdom Hearts 358 / 2 Days along with her homeworld . A digital version of her later appears in Kingdom Hearts coded . Tim Burton 's Alice in Wonderland ( 2010 ) ( edit ) Main article : Red Queen ( Through the Looking - Glass ) § Tim Burton 's Alice in Wonderland ( 2010 ) American McGee 's Alice ( edit ) In the video game American McGee 's Alice , the Queen of Hearts is the final boss and the reason for Wonderland 's decay . When Alice fights her , she discovers that the Queen is her dark side -- an embodiment of her insanity ; the Queen must be destroyed for Alice to become sane once more . The Queen 's appearance is different in American McGee 's Alice from how she is in the book : she appears first as a faceless entity having tentacles for arms , legs , and hair . It is later revealed that this is a mere puppet and that the true Queen of Hearts is a horrible monster in the image of a real anatomical heart . She is called both the Queen of Hearts and the Red Queen interchangeably throughout the game . No mention is made of the Red Queen from `` Through the Looking Glass . '' However , the White Queen is seen for only a moment , as her head is chopped off by the enemy in The Pale Realm . It 's implied that after Alice was placed in the asylum the red queen and the queen of hearts fused together which explains why the Queen of Hearts is able to control the red piece and the cards at the same time . In the sequel , Alice : Madness Returns , the Queen of Hearts is sought by Alice for assistance in stopping an Infernal Train from tearing apart Wonderland and driving her back into insanity . The Queen claims , when found in the ruins of the Red Kingdom , that Alice is being manipulated by someone other than herself , that this person is trying to erase her memories , particularly about the fire in her childhood , which are tearing her sanity apart . It later turns out that this person is none other than her psychiatrist Dr. Angus Bumby , who has been revealed to having raped Alice 's older sister Lizzy and burned down the house with Lizzy and Alice 's parents to cover up the crime , and that he is attempting to erase Alice 's memories and subject her to prostitution after it . In this sequel , the Red Queen has changed considerably , taking the appearance of a younger Alice , only in a royal dress befitting the Queen of Hearts , with large fleshy claws rather than hands , and her lower body composed of fleshy tentacles that spread throughout the entire castle , which is actually the Queen 's body itself . Some argue she is actually based not on Alice herself , but her sister , as she also referred to her as `` Lizzy '' in a following dialogue , and considering she felt guilty of the death of her family , its possible her subconscious projected her dead sister in the queen she herself killed in the previous game . The Looking - Glass Wars ( edit ) In The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor , the ruling dynasty of the Wonderland is the Heart family . The title of Queen of Hearts is a hereditary title for the Queen of Wonderland . The Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland is reimagined as Queen Redd , the enemy and aunt of the heroine , Alyss . She kills Alyss 's parents and usurps the throne of Wonderland . It should be noted that the true Queen of Hearts in this story is Genevieve Heart , Alyss 's mother as an apparent re-imagining of the White Queen . Alyss is , therefore , the Princess of Hearts . Alice in the Country of Hearts ( edit ) In the manga Alice in the Country of Hearts , the Queen of Hearts is known as Vivaldi . She is n't as much a main character , though , and she has very few parts in the current books . Vivaldi rules Heart Castle and is feuding with the other territories over Wonderland . She is beautiful with black hair , unlike other adaptations . She speaks in the majestic plural , I.E , `` We are happy you are here to see us . '' As discovered through Heart no Kuni no Alice the game by Quinrose ( the predecessor to the manga ) Blood Dupree ( The Hatter ) is Vivaldi 's little brother though it is alluded to be a romantic interest for Vivaldi until Alice discovers the secret . SyFy TV miniseries ( edit ) In the two - part series Alice , hosted by the SyFy Channel , the Queen of Hearts is portrayed by Kathy Bates as a refined but ruthless drug lord . The miniseries is set one hundred and fifty years after the original Alice 's first visit to Wonderland ( the heroine is an unrelated character ) and the Queen is ( as usual ) the primary villain of the series . As is customary , the Queen is depicted as narcissistic , declaring herself as `` the most powerful woman in the history of literature '' and obese . Her calm , cold demeanour suggests that she too is a mixture of the Queen of Hearts and the Red Queen . Her name is given as `` Mary Elizabeth Heart '' , and it is suggested that the Hearts are the `` Red '' royal family who seized control of Wonderland from the `` White '' royal family . Once Upon a time ( edit ) The Queen of Hearts appears in the Once Upon a Time episode . `` Hat Trick '' , played by Jennifer Koenig . In the show 's second season , it is revealed that the Queen of Hearts is in fact Cora ( Barbara Hershey ) , the mother of the Wicked Witch of the West and the Evil Queen . In her earlier life , Cora ( portrayed by Rose McGowan ) was also the miller 's daughter ( the heroine of the Rumpelstiltskin story ) . She appears in every season throughout the show most often portrayed by Barbara Hershey but at younger age portrayed by Rose McGowan . She was the main antagonist of Season 2 . In the show 's spin - off , Once Upon a Time in Wonderland , a flashback reveals that Cora ( as the Queen of Hearts ) was the Red Queen 's tutor in magic ; Cora apparently ruled part of Wonderland and was a political rival of the Red King . Other versions and adaptations ( edit ) In various film and television versions of the novel , The Queen has been played by May Robson , Ronald Lang , Zsa Zsa Gabor , Eve Arden , Jayne Meadows , and , In the 1999 Alice in Wonderland television movie , Miranda Richardson , whose portrayal is strongly reminiscent of her role as the spoiled Queenie in Blackadder . In an episode of Wizards of Waverly Place parodying the novel , Alex Russo is in court and becomes smart with the Queen of Hearts ( played by Theresa Russo ) . In the 1991 Disney channel series Adventures in Wonderland , the Queen was played by Armelia McQueen . She appears as a short - tempered and childish but basically benevolent ruler . She was alternately called `` The Queen of Hearts '' and `` The Red Queen '' during the course of the series . In Sandra the Fairytale Detective , her name is Theressa . Pandora Hearts has Miranda Barma who would later become the chain Demios the Executor also nicknamed Queen of Hearts and they have a similar obsession of cutting heads . The Queen is one of the characters adopted by Gwen Stefani in her Wonderland - themed music video What You Waiting For ? . She wears a red gown and a crown reminiscent of the Imperial State Crown from the British Crown Jewels . The Queen wanders through a garden populated with flamingos and pushes Alice ( also Stefani ) into a pool of her own tears . The Queen of Hearts features in Unsuk Chin 's 2007 opera Alice in Wonderland ; the role was created for Dame Gwyneth Jones . The Queen is a major character in Christopher Wheeldon 's 2011 full - length ballet Alice 's Adventures in Wonderland , created for The Royal Ballet . The role was created for principal dancer Zenaida Yanowsky and includes a hilarious spoof of the Rose Adagio from The Sleeping Beauty . The Queen appeared briefly during the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony in London in a segment dedicated to the villains of British children 's literature . In Marissa Meyer 's 2016 novel Heartless , the backstory of the Queen of Hearts is told , in which she is a young girl who aspires to be a baker , but is instead taken off course by the anticipated proposal of the King of Hearts . The Queen of Hearts appears in the twelfth episode ( `` And the Broken Staff '' ) of The Librarians . She is brought to life by the wizard Prospero as a distraction for the Librarians , but is subsequently tricked into attacking her own reflection , turning her into a pack of cards ( mirroring the ending of the original story ) .

Marsh test

Marsh test - wikipedia Marsh test Jump to : navigation , search Apparatus for the Marsh test The Marsh test is a highly sensitive method in the detection of arsenic , especially useful in the field of forensic toxicology when arsenic was used as a poison . It was developed by the chemist James Marsh and first published in 1836 . Arsenic , in the form of white arsenic trioxide As 2O 3 , was a highly favored poison , for its odourlessness , easily incorporated into food and drink , and before the advent of the Marsh test , untraceable in the body . In France , it came to be known as poudre de succession ( `` inheritance powder '' ) . For the untrained , arsenic poisoning will have symptoms similar to cholera . Contents ( hide ) 1 Precursor methods 2 Circumstances and methodology 3 Specific reactions involved 4 First notable application 5 Effects 6 In fiction 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Precursor methods ( edit ) The first breakthrough in the detection of arsenic poisoning was in 1775 when Carl Wilhelm Scheele discovered a way to change arsenic trioxide to garlic - smelling arsine gas ( AsH ) , by treating it with nitric acid ( HNO ) and combining it with zinc . As O + 6 Zn + 12 HNO → 2 AsH + 6 Zn ( NO ) + 3 H O In 1787 , German physician Johann Metzger ( 1739 - 1805 ) discovered that if arsenic trioxide were heated in the presence of carbon , the arsenic would sublime . This is the reduction of As O by carbon : 2 As O + 3 C → 3 CO + 4 As In 1806 , Valentin Rose took the stomach of a victim suspected of being poisoned and treated it with potassium carbonate ( K CO ) , calcium oxide ( CaO ) and nitric acid . Any arsenic present would appear as arsenic trioxide and then could be subjected to Metzger 's test . However , the most common test ( and used even today in water test kits ) was discovered by Samuel Hahnemann . It would involve combining a sample fluid with hydrogen sulfide ( H S ) in the presence of hydrochloric acid ( HCl ) . A yellow precipitate , arsenic trisulfide ( As S ) would be formed if arsenic was present . Circumstances and methodology ( edit ) Even so , these tests have proven not to be sensitive enough . In 1832 , a certain John Bodle was brought to trial for poisoning his grandfather by putting arsenic in his coffee . James Marsh , a chemist working at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich was called by the prosecution to try to detect its presence . He performed the standard test by passing hydrogen sulfide through the suspect fluid . While Marsh was able to detect arsenic , the yellow precipitate did not keep very well , and by the time it was presented to the jury it deteriorated . The jury was not convinced , and John Bodle was acquitted . Angered and frustrated by this , especially when John Bodle confessed later that he indeed killed his grandfather , Marsh decided to devise a better test to demonstrate the presence of arsenic . Taking Scheele 's work as a basis , he constructed a simple glass apparatus capable of not only detecting minute traces of arsenic but also measuring its quantity . Adding a sample of tissue or body fluid to a glass vessel with zinc and acid would produce arsine gas if arsenic was present , in addition to the hydrogen that would be produced regardless by the zinc reacting with the acid . Igniting this gas mixture would oxidize any arsine present into arsenic and water vapor . This would cause a cold ceramic bowl held in the jet of the flame to be stained with a silvery - black deposit of arsenic , physically similar to the result of Metzger 's reaction . The intensity of the stain could then be compared to films produced using known amounts of arsenic . Not only could minute amounts of arsenic be detected ( as little as 0.02 mg ) , the test was very specific for arsenic . Although antimony ( Sb ) could give a false - positive test by forming stibine ( SbH ) gas which decomposes on heating to form a similar black deposit , it would not dissolve in a solution of sodium hypochlorite ( NaOCl ) , while arsenic would . Specific reactions involved ( edit ) The Marsh test treats the sample with sulfuric acid and arsenic - free zinc . Even if there are minute amounts of arsenic present , the zinc reduces the trivalent arsenic ( As ) . Here are the two half - reactions : Oxidation : Zn → Zn + 2 e Reduction : As O + 12 e + 6 H → 2 As + 3 H O Overall , we have this reaction : As O + 6 Zn + 6 H → 2 As + 6 Zn + 3 H O In an acidic medium , As 3 − is protonated to form arsine gas ( AsH ) , so adding sulphuric acid ( H SO ) to each side of the equation we get : As O + 6 Zn + 6 H + 6 H SO → 2 As + 6 H SO + 6 Zn + 3 H O As the As combines with the H to form arsine : As O + 6 Zn + 6 H + 6 H SO → 2 AsH + 6 ZnSO + 3 H O + 6 H By eliminating the common ions : As O + 6 Zn + 6 H SO → 2 AsH + 6 ZnSO + 3 H O First notable application ( edit ) Main article : Marie LaFarge Although the Marsh test was efficacious , its first publicly documented use -- in fact , the first time evidence from forensic toxicology was ever introduced -- was in Tulle , France in 1840 with the celebrated LaFarge poisoning case . Charles LaFarge , a foundry owner , was suspected of being poisoned with arsenic by his wife Marie . The circumstantial evidence was great : it was shown that she bought arsenic trioxide from a local chemist , supposedly to kill rats which infested their home . In addition , their maid swore that she had mixed a white powder into his drink . Although the food was found to be positive for the poison using the old methods as well as the Marsh test , when the husband 's body was exhumed and tested , the chemists assigned to the case were not able to detect arsenic . Mathieu Orfila , the renowned toxicologist retained by the defense and an acknowledged authority of the Marsh test examined the results . He performed the test again and demonstrated that the Marsh test was not at fault for the misleading results but rather those who performed it did it incorrectly . Orfila thus proved the presence of arsenic in LaFarge 's body using the test . As a result of this , Marie was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment . Effects ( edit ) The case proved to be controversial , for it divided the country into factions who were convinced or otherwise of Mme . LaFarge 's guilt ; nevertheless , the impact of the Marsh test was great . The French press covered the trial and gave the test the publicity it needed to give the field of forensic toxicology the legitimacy it deserved , although in some ways it trivialized it : actual Marsh test assays were conducted in salons , public lectures and even in some plays that recreated the LaFarge case . The existence of the Marsh test also served a deterrent effect : deliberate arsenic poisonings became rarer because the fear of discovery became more prevalent . In fiction ( edit ) Marsh test is used in Bill Bergson Lives Dangerously to prove that a certain chocolate is poisoned with arsenic . In Alan Bradley 's `` As Chimney Sweepers Come To Dust '' , 12 - year old sleuth and chemistry genius Flavia de Luce uses the Marsh test to determine that arsenic was the murderer 's weapon . In the first episode of the 2017 TV series `` Taboo '' a mirror test , referencing the Marsh test , is used to verify the protagonist 's father was killed via arsenic poisoning . However , as the setting of the series is between 1814 - 1820 , a different / earlier process should have been used .

Aspiring stuntman DJ Drake is asked to escort Daffy off the studio lot , but the ensuing chase leads to the Batmobile demolishing the studio water tower . DJ is also fired in the process , and returns home with Daffy hitching a ride , discovering his father , action film star , Damian Drake , is actually a secret agent . Damian instructs his son to travel to Las Vegas , find his associate Dusty Tails , and gain the mystical `` blue monkey '' diamond , but he is shortly thereafter captured by the Acme Corporation , led by the childish Mr. Chairman . DJ and Daffy head for Vegas . Meanwhile , Bugs ' routines fall apart without Daffy , so `` Vice-President of Comedy , '' Kate Houghton , is sent to rehire Daffy or face being fired herself . Bugs informs Kate of the situation , so they steal Damian 's spy car , and pursue DJ and Daffy . In Las Vegas , DJ and Daffy meet Dusty in a casino owned by Acme operative Yosemite Sam . Dusty gives them a strange playing card , but when Sam attempts to kill them , they flee in the spy car with Bugs and Kate . The spy car , which can also fly , crashes in the Nevada desert . The group eventually stumbles upon Area 52 , run by a woman called ' mother ' , who informs them of the situation , and plays a video recording , which reveals that Acme intends on using the blue monkey to transform mankind into monkeys to manufacture their products , before turning them back into human beings to purchase them . Marvin the Martian , imprisoned in the facility , escapes and leads a group of fellow alien inmates to obtain the playing card , but the heroes escape . Seeing that the card has Mona Lisa 's face on it , the group conclude they must view the painting in the Louvre , located in Paris . At the Louvre , they discover that the card contains a viewing window , and looking through it , the window reveals that the Mona Lisa has a map of Africa hidden beneath . Elmer Fudd appears , and , revealing himself as an Acme operative , chases Bugs and Daffy through the gallery for the card whilst Kate is kidnapped by Mr. Chairman 's bodyguard , Mr. Smith , to obtain a photo of the African map . DJ rescues Kate . Elmer is disintegrated by Bugs after jumping out of a pointillism artwork . Bugs and Daffy reunite with DJ and Kate , and they leave Paris . DJ , Kate , Bugs , and Daffy travel to Africa , meeting Granny , Sylvester , and Tweety , who escort them to the ruins of a jungle temple where they find the blue monkey . Granny and company reveal themselves to be Mr. Chairman , Smith , and the Tasmanian Devil in disguise . Mr. Chairman uses a disintegration gun to transport himself and the heroes to the Acme headquarters where he forces DJ to give him the diamond , when Damian is revealed to be his prisoner . Marvin is sent to place the blue monkey on an Acme satellite which will emit an energy beam around the world to turn everyone , except Mr. Chairman , into monkeys . DJ and Kate rescue Damian from a death trap , whilst Bugs and Daffy pursue Marvin into space . Bugs is incapacitated , prompting Daffy to become Duck Dodgers , in order to destroy the blue monkey . The transforming energy beam only strikes Mr. Chairman , turning him into a monkey . Bugs and Daffy return to Earth , where Daffy discovers the whole adventure was staged to make a film . However , Bugs promises Daffy they will be equal partners , but just as Daffy 's luck seems to be improving , he is flattened by the Looney Tunes iris , where Porky Pig attempts to close the film with `` That 's all folks ! '' only for the studio to shut down before he can finish , and he tells the audience to go home . Cast Brendan Fraser as D.J.

As development began , Space Jam 2 was going to involve a new basketball competition between the Looney Tunes and a new villain named Berserk - O ! . Artist Bob Camp was tasked with designing Berserk - O ! and his henchmen . Joe Pytka would have returned to direct and Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone signed on as the animation supervisors . However , Michael Jordan did not agree to star in a sequel . According to Camp , a producer lied to design artists , claiming that Jordan had signed on in order to keep development going . Warner Bros. eventually canceled plans for Space Jam 2 . The film then re-entered development as Spy Jam and was to star Jackie Chan . Warner Bros. was also planning a film titled Race Jam which would have starred Jeff Gordon . Both projects were ultimately cancelled . Warner Bros. eventually asked Joe Dante to direct Back in Action , having had previous success with Gremlins ( 1984 ) and Innerspace ( 1987 ) . In the early 1990s , Dante wanted to produce a biographical comedy with HBO , called Termite Terrace . It centered around director Chuck Jones ' early years at Warner Bros. in the 1930s . On the project , Dante recalled `` It was a hilarious story and it was very good except that Warner Bros. said ' Look , it 's an old story . It 's got period stuff in it . We do n't want that . We want to rebrand our characters and we want to do Space Jam . ' '' Dante agreed to direct Back in Action as tribute to Jones . He and screenwriter Larry Doyle reportedly wanted the film to the `` Anti-Space Jam '' as Dante disliked how that film represented the Looney Tunes brand and personalities . Dante said `` I was making a movie for them with those characters ( Looney Tunes : Back in Action ) and they did not want to know about those characters . They did n't want to know why Bugs Bunny should n't do hip - hop . It was a pretty grim experience all around . '' Warner Bros. hired Walt Disney Feature Animation 's Eric Goldberg , most known for his fast - paced , Warner Bros. - inspired animation of the Genie in Aladdin ( 1992 ) , to direct the animation . On the film , Dante stated `` It 's a gagfest . Not having a particularly strong story , it just goes from gag to gag and location to location . It 's not a particularly compelling narrative , but , of course , that 's not where the charm of the movie is supposed to lie . '' On the subject of filming , Dante said `` ( W ) e would shoot each scene three times . First we 'd rehearse with a stand - in -- a ' stuffy , ' we called it . Then , we 'd shoot the scene without anything in it ; then , we 'd shoot the scene again with this mirror ball in the shot which shows the computers where the light sources are . Then the animators would go to work and put characters into the frame . The problem with that movie came when the studio ( executives ) started to get tired of our jokes and wanted us to change them . But , of course , the animation is done to the voices and not the other way around . It was difficult trying to convince them that you do n't just bring in 25 gag writers and try to write a joke that 's short enough to put in somebody 's mouth . '' Although the production had twenty - five gag writers , the film has only one credited writer . Despite being directed by acknowledged fans of the original cartoons , Dante stated that he had no creative freedom on the project , and called it `` the longest year and a half of my life . '' Dante felt that he and Goldberg managed to preserve the original personalities of the characters . However , the opening , middle , and end of the film are different from what Dante envisioned . Goldberg also provided the voices of Tweety , Michigan J. Frog , Marvin the Martian and Speedy Gonzales . Brendan Fraser provided the voice of the Tazmanian Devil and She - Devil , having impressed Dante with his Taz vocal impression . Soundtrack This was the final film scored by composer Jerry Goldsmith . Due to Goldsmith 's failing health , the last reel of the film was actually scored by John Debney , though Goldsmith was the only credited composer in marketing materials and the Varèse Sarabande soundtrack album only contains Goldsmith 's music ( although the first and last cues are adaptations of compositions heard in Warner Bros. cartoons ) . Debney receives an `` Additional Music by '' credit in the closing titles of the film and `` Special Thanks '' in the soundtrack album credits . Goldsmith died in July 2004 , eight months after the film 's release . Life Story -- Carl Stalling ( : 18 ) What 's Up ?

The film grossed $68.5 million worldwide against a budget of $80 million . Warner Bros. was hoping to start a revitalized franchise of Looney Tunes media and products with the success of Back in Action . New animated shorts and a Duck Dodgers TV series were commissioned to tie - in with Back in Action . The film instead triggered Warner Bros. to release new TV projects in an effort to re-brand the Looney Tunes such as Loonatics Unleashed ( 2005 -- 2007 ) , The Looney Tunes Show ( 2011 -- 2014 ) , and Wabbit ( 2015 -- present ) .

For people with the last name Suess rather than Seuss , see Suess ( disambiguation ) . Dr. Seuss Theodore Seuss Geisel in 1957 Theodor Seuss Geisel ( 1904 - 03 - 02 ) March 2 , 1904 Springfield , Massachusetts , U.S. September 24 , 1991 ( 1991 - 09 - 24 ) ( aged 87 ) La Jolla , California , U.S. Pen name Dr. Seuss Theo LeSieg Rosetta Stone Theophrastus Seuss Occupation Writer , political cartoonist , animator , book publisher , artist , poet Genre Children 's literature Years active 1927 -- 1990 Spouse Helen Palmer Geisel ( m . 1927 ; her death 1967 ) Audrey Stone Dimond ( m . 1968 ; his death 1991 ) Signature Website www.seussville.com Theodor Seuss Geisel ( / ˈsuːs ˈɡaɪzəl / ( listen ) ; March 2 , 1904 -- September 24 , 1991 ) was an American author , political cartoonist , poet , animator , book publisher , and artist , best known for authoring more than 60 children 's books under the pen name Doctor Seuss ( abbreviated Dr. Seuss ) ( / suːs / ) . His work includes several of the most popular children 's books of all time , selling over 600 million copies and being translated into more than 20 languages by the time of his death . Geisel adopted the name `` Dr. Seuss '' as an undergraduate at Dartmouth College and a graduate student at the University of Oxford . He left Oxford in 1927 to begin his career as an illustrator and cartoonist for Vanity Fair , Life , and various other publications . He also worked as an illustrator for advertising campaigns , most notably for FLIT and Standard Oil , and as a political cartoonist for the New York newspaper PM . He published his first children 's book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street in 1937 . During World War II , he took a brief hiatus from children 's literature and worked in an animation department of the United States Army where he produced several short films , including Design for Death , which later won the 1947 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature . After the war , Geisel focused on children 's books once again , writing classics like If I Ran the Zoo ( 1950 ) , Horton Hears a Who ! ( 1955 ) , If I Ran the Circus ( 1956 ) , The Cat in the Hat ( 1957 ) , How the Grinch Stole Christmas ! ( 1957 ) , and Green Eggs and Ham ( 1960 ) . He published over 60 books during his career , which have spawned numerous adaptations , including 11 television specials , four feature films , a Broadway musical , and four television series . Geisel won the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1958 for Horton Hatches the Egg and again in 1961 for And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street . Geisel 's birthday , March 2 , has been adopted as the annual date for National Read Across America Day , an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association .

His father managed the family brewery and was later appointed to supervise Springfield 's public park system by Mayor John A. Denison after the brewery closed because of Prohibition . Mulberry Street in Springfield , made famous in Dr. Seuss ' first children 's book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street , is less than a mile southwest of his boyhood home on Fairfield Street . Geisel was raised a Lutheran . He enrolled at Springfield Central High School in 1917 and graduated in 1921 . He took an art class as a freshman and later became manager of the school soccer team . Geisel attended Dartmouth College , graduating in 1925 . At Dartmouth , he joined the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and the humor magazine Dartmouth Jack - O - Lantern , eventually rising to the rank of editor - in - chief . While at Dartmouth , he was caught drinking gin with nine friends in his room . At the time , the possession and consumption of alcohol was illegal under Prohibition laws , which remained in place between 1920 and 1933 . As a result of this infraction , Dean Craven Laycock insisted that Geisel resign from all extracurricular activities , including the college humor magazine . To continue work on the Jack - O - Lantern without the administration 's knowledge , Geisel began signing his work with the pen name `` Seuss '' . He was encouraged in his writing by professor of rhetoric W. Benfield Pressey , whom he described as his `` big inspiration for writing '' at Dartmouth . Upon graduating from Dartmouth , he entered Lincoln College , Oxford , intending to earn a PhD in English literature . At Oxford , he met Helen Palmer , who encouraged him to give up becoming an English teacher in favor of pursuing drawing as a career . Early career Geisel left Oxford without earning a degree and returned to the United States in February 1927 , where he immediately began submitting writings and drawings to magazines , book publishers , and advertising agencies . Making use of his time in Europe , he pitched a series of cartoons called Eminent Europeans to Life magazine , but the magazine passed on it . His first nationally published cartoon appeared in the July 16 , 1927 , issue of The Saturday Evening Post . This single $25 sale encouraged Geisel to move from Springfield to New York City . Later that year , Geisel accepted a job as writer and illustrator at the humor magazine Judge , and he felt financially stable enough to marry Helen . His first cartoon for Judge appeared on October 22 , 1927 , and the Geisels were married on November 29 . Geisel 's first work signed `` Dr. Seuss '' was published in Judge about six months after he started working there . In early 1928 , one of Geisel 's cartoons for Judge mentioned FLIT , a common bug spray at the time manufactured by Standard Oil of New Jersey . According to Geisel , the wife of an advertising executive in charge of advertising FLIT saw Geisel 's cartoon at a hairdresser 's and urged her husband to sign him . Geisel 's first Flit ad appeared on May 31 , 1928 , and the campaign continued sporadically until 1941 . The campaign 's catchphrase `` Quick , Henry , the Flit ! '' became a part of popular culture . It spawned a song and was used as a punch line for comedians such as Fred Allen and Jack Benny . As Geisel gained notoriety for the FLIT campaign , his work was in demand and began to appear regularly in magazines such as Life , Liberty , and Vanity Fair . Geisel supported himself and his wife through the Great Depression by drawing advertising for General Electric , NBC , Standard Oil , Narragansett Brewing Company , and many other companies . In 1935 , he wrote and drew a short - lived comic strip called Hejji . The increased income allowed the Geisels to move to better quarters and to socialize in higher social circles . They became friends with the wealthy family of banker Frank A. Vanderlip . They also traveled extensively : by 1936 , Geisel and his wife had visited 30 countries together . They did not have children , neither kept regular office hours , and they had ample money . Geisel also felt that the traveling helped his creativity . In 1936 , the couple were returning from an ocean voyage to Europe when the rhythm of the ship 's engines inspired the poem that became his first book : And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street . Based on Geisel 's varied accounts , the book was rejected by between 20 and 43 publishers . According to Geisel , he was walking home to burn the manuscript when a chance encounter with an old Dartmouth classmate led to its publication by Vanguard Press . Geisel wrote four more books before the US entered World War II . This included The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins in 1938 , as well as The King 's Stilts and The Seven Lady Godivas in 1939 , all of which were in prose , atypically for him . This was followed by Horton Hatches the Egg in 1940 , in which Geisel returned to the use of poetry . Essomarine Geisel gained a significant public profile through a program for motor boat lubricants produced by Standard Oil under the brand name Essomarine . He later recounted that Harry Bruno , Ted Cook , and Verne Carrier worked with him at the National Motor Boat Show on exhibits referred to as the Seuss Navy . In 1934 , Geisel produced a 30 - page booklet titled Secrets of the Deep which was available by mail after June . At the January boat show for 1935 , visitors filled out order cards to receive Secrets . Geisel drew up a Certificate of Commission for visitors in 1936 . A mock ship deck called SS Essomarine provided the scene where photos of `` Admirals '' were taken . That summer , Geisel released a second volume of Secrets . For the 1937 show , he sculpted Marine Muggs and designed a flag for the Seuss Navy . The following year featured `` Little Dramas of the Deep '' , a six - act play with ten characters . According to Geisel 's sister , `` He plans the whole show with scenery and action and then , standing in a realistic bridge , reels off a speech which combines advertising with humor . '' For 1939 , exhibitors made available the Nuzzlepuss ashtray and illustrated tide - table calendars . A Seuss Navy Luncheon was held on January 11 , 1940 , at the Waldorf - Astoria Hotel . At that year 's boat show , Geisel provided the Navigamarama exhibit and the Sea Lawyers Gazette . The final contribution to the Essomarine project was the mermaid Essie Neptune and her pet whale in 1941 . The exhibit offered photos for a Happy Cruising passport . World War II - era work Play media `` The Goldbrick '' , Private Snafu episode written by Geisel , 1943 As World War II began , Geisel turned to political cartoons , drawing over 400 in two years as editorial cartoonist for the left - leaning New York City daily newspaper , PM . Geisel 's political cartoons , later published in Dr. Seuss Goes to War , denounced Hitler and Mussolini and were highly critical of non-interventionists ( `` isolationists '' ) , most notably Charles Lindbergh , who opposed US entry into the war . One cartoon depicted all Japanese Americans as latent traitors or fifth - columnists , while other cartoons simultaneously deplored the racism at home against Jews and blacks that harmed the war effort . His cartoons were strongly supportive of President Roosevelt 's handling of the war , combining the usual exhortations to ration and contribute to the war effort with frequent attacks on Congress ( especially the Republican Party ) , parts of the press ( such as the New York Daily News , Chicago Tribune , and Washington Times - Herald ) , and others for criticism of Roosevelt , criticism of aid to the Soviet Union , investigation of suspected Communists , and other offences that he depicted as leading to disunity and helping the Nazis , intentionally or inadvertently . In 1942 , Geisel turned his energies to direct support of the U.S. war effort . First , he worked drawing posters for the Treasury Department and the War Production Board . Then , in 1943 , he joined the Army as a Captain and was commander of the Animation Department of the First Motion Picture Unit of the United States Army Air Forces , where he wrote films that included Your Job in Germany , a 1945 propaganda film about peace in Europe after World War II ; Our Job in Japan ; and the Private Snafu series of adult army training films . While in the Army , he was awarded the Legion of Merit . Our Job in Japan became the basis for the commercially released film Design for Death ( 1947 ) , a study of Japanese culture that won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature . Gerald McBoing - Boing ( 1950 ) was based on an original story by Seuss and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film . Later years After the war , Geisel and his wife moved to La Jolla , California where he returned to writing children 's books . He wrote many , including such favorites as If I Ran the Zoo ( 1950 ) , Horton Hears a Who ! ( 1955 ) , If I Ran the Circus ( 1956 ) , The Cat in the Hat ( 1957 ) , How the Grinch Stole Christmas ! ( 1957 ) , and Green Eggs and Ham ( 1960 ) . He received numerous awards throughout his career , but he won neither the Caldecott Medal nor the Newbery Medal . Three of his titles from this period were , however , chosen as Caldecott runners - up ( now referred to as Caldecott Honor books ) : McElligot 's Pool ( 1947 ) , Bartholomew and the Oobleck ( 1949 ) , and If I Ran the Zoo ( 1950 ) . Dr Seuss also wrote the musical and fantasy film The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. , which was released in 1953 . The movie was a critical and financial failure , and Geisel never attempted another feature film . During the 1950s , he also published a number of illustrated short stories , mostly in Redbook Magazine . Some of these were later collected ( in volumes such as The Sneetches and Other Stories ) or reworked into independent books ( If I Ran the Zoo ) . A number have never been reprinted since their original appearances . In May 1954 , Life magazine published a report on illiteracy among school children which concluded that children were not learning to read because their books were boring . William Ellsworth Spaulding was the director of the education division at Houghton Mifflin ( he later became its chairman ) , and he compiled a list of 348 words that he felt were important for first - graders to recognize . He asked Geisel to cut the list to 250 words and to write a book using only those words . Spaulding challenged Geisel to `` bring back a book children ca n't put down '' . Nine months later , Geisel completed The Cat in the Hat , using 236 of the words given to him . It retained the drawing style , verse rhythms , and all the imaginative power of Geisel 's earlier works but , because of its simplified vocabulary , it could be read by beginning readers . The Cat in the Hat and subsequent books written for young children achieved significant international success and they remain very popular today . In 2009 , Green Eggs and Ham sold 540,366 copies , The Cat in the Hat sold 452,258 copies , and One Fish , Two Fish , Red Fish , Blue Fish ( 1960 ) sold 409,068 copies -- outselling the majority of newly published children 's books . Geisel went on to write many other children 's books , both in his new simplified - vocabulary manner ( sold as Beginner Books ) and in his older , more elaborate style . In 1956 , Dartmouth awarded Geisel with an honorary doctorate , finally justifying the `` Dr . '' in his pen name . On April 28 , 1958 , Geisel appeared on an episode of the panel game show To Tell the Truth . Geisel 's wife Helen had a long struggle with illnesses , including cancer and emotional pain over Geisel 's affair with Audrey Stone Dimond . On October 23 , 1967 , Helen committed suicide ; Geisel married Dimond on June 21 , 1968 . Though he devoted most of his life to writing children 's books , Geisel had no children of his own , saying of children : `` You have ' em ; I 'll entertain ' em . '' Dimond added that Geisel `` lived his whole life without children and he was very happy without children . '' Geisel received the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal from the professional children 's librarians in 1980 , recognizing his `` substantial and lasting contributions to children 's literature '' . At the time , it was awarded every five years . He won a special Pulitzer Prize in 1984 citing his `` contribution over nearly half a century to the education and enjoyment of America 's children and their parents '' . Illness , death , and posthumous honors Geisel died of oral cancer on September 24 , 1991 at his home in La Jolla at the age of 87 . He was cremated and his ashes were scattered . On December 1 , 1995 , four years after his death , University of California , San Diego 's University Library Building was renamed Geisel Library in honor of Geisel and Audrey for the generous contributions that they made to the library and their devotion to improving literacy . While Geisel was living in La Jolla , the United States Postal Service and others frequently confused him with fellow La Jolla resident Dr. Hans Suess . Their names have been linked together posthumously : the personal papers of Hans Suess are housed in the Geisel Library . In 2002 , the Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden opened in his birthplace of Springfield , Massachusetts , featuring sculptures of Geisel and of many of his characters . On May 28 , 2008 , California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver announced that Geisel would be inducted into the California Hall of Fame located at The California Museum for History , Women and the Arts . The induction ceremony took place December 15 and Geisel 's widow Audrey accepted the honor in his place . On March 2 , 2009 , the Web search engine Google temporarily changed its logo to commemorate Geisel 's birthday ( a practice that it often follows for various holidays and events ) . In 2004 , U.S. children 's librarians established the annual Theodor Seuss Geisel Award to recognize `` the most distinguished American book for beginning readers published in English in the United States during the preceding year '' . It should `` demonstrate creativity and imagination to engage children in reading '' from pre-kindergarten to second grade . At Geisel 's alma mater of Dartmouth , more than 90 percent of incoming first - year students participate in pre-registration Dartmouth Outing Club trips into the New Hampshire wilderness . It is traditional for students returning from the trips to stay overnight at Dartmouth 's Moosilauke Ravine Lodge , where they are served green eggs and ham for breakfast in honor of Dr. Seuss . On April 4 , 2012 , the Dartmouth Medical School was renamed the Audrey and Theodor Geisel School of Medicine in honor of their many years of generosity to the college . Dr. Seuss 's honors include two Academy Awards , two Emmy Awards , a Peabody Award , the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal , and the Pulitzer Prize . Dr. Seuss has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at the 6500 block of Hollywood Boulevard . Pen names and pronunciations Geisel 's most famous pen name is regularly pronounced / suːs / , an anglicized pronunciation inconsistent with his German surname ( the standard German pronunciation is ( ˈzɔʏ̯s ) ) . He himself noted that it rhymed with `` voice '' ( his own pronunciation being / sɔɪs / ) . Alexander Laing , one of his collaborators on the Dartmouth Jack - O - Lantern , wrote of it : You 're wrong as the deuce And you should n't rejoice If you 're calling him Seuss . He pronounces it Soice ( or Zoice ) Geisel switched to the anglicized pronunciation because it `` evoked a figure advantageous for an author of children 's books to be associated with -- Mother Goose '' and because most people used this pronunciation . He added the `` Doctor ( abbreviated Dr . ) '' to his pen name because his father had always wanted him to practice medicine . For books that Geisel wrote and others illustrated , he used the pen name `` Theo LeSieg '' , starting with I Wish That I Had Duck Feet published in 1965 . `` LeSieg '' is `` Geisel '' spelled backward . Geisel also published one book under the name Rosetta Stone , 1975 's Because a Little Bug Went Ka - Choo ! ! , a collaboration with Michael K. Frith . Frith and Geisel chose the name in honor of Geisel 's second wife Audrey , whose maiden name was Stone . Political views Main article : Political messages of Dr. Seuss Geisel was a liberal Democrat and a supporter of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal . His early political cartoons show a passionate opposition to fascism , and he urged action against it both before and after the United States entered World War II . His cartoons portrayed the fear of communism as overstated , finding greater threats in the House Un-American Activities Committee and those who threatened to cut the United States ' `` life line '' to Stalin and the USSR , whom he once depicted as a porter carrying `` our war load '' . Dr. Seuss 1942 cartoon with the caption ' Waiting for the Signal from Home ' Geisel supported the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II . His treatment of the Japanese and of Japanese Americans ( between whom he often failed to differentiate ) has struck many readers as a moral blind spot . On the issue of the Japanese , he is quoted as saying : But right now , when the Japs are planting their hatchets in our skulls , it seems like a hell of a time for us to smile and warble : `` Brothers ! '' It is a rather flabby battle cry . If we want to win , we 've got to kill Japs , whether it depresses John Haynes Holmes or not . We can get palsy - walsy afterward with those that are left . After the war , though , Geisel overcame his feelings of animosity , using his book Horton Hears a Who ! ( 1954 ) as an allegory for the Hiroshima bombing and the American post-war occupation of Japan , as well as dedicating the book to a Japanese friend . In 1948 , after living and working in Hollywood for years , Geisel moved to La Jolla , California , a predominantly Republican town . Geisel converted a copy of one of his famous children 's books , Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now ! , into a polemic shortly before the end of the 1972 -- 1974 Watergate scandal , in which United States president Richard Nixon resigned , by replacing the name of the main character everywhere that it occurred . `` Richard M. Nixon , Will You Please Go Now ! '' was published in major newspapers through the column of his friend Art Buchwald . The line `` a person 's a person , no matter how small ! ! '' from Horton Hears a Who ! has been used widely as a slogan by the pro-life movement in the U.S. , despite the objections of Geisel 's widow . The line was first used in such a way in 1986 ; he demanded a retraction and received one . In his books Geisel made a point of not beginning to write his stories with a moral in mind , stating that `` kids can see a moral coming a mile off . '' He was not against writing about issues , however ; he said that `` there 's an inherent moral in any story '' , and he remarked that he was `` subversive as hell . '' Many of Geisel 's books express his views on a remarkable variety of social and political issues : The Lorax ( 1971 ) , about environmentalism and anti-consumerism ; `` The Sneetches '' ( 1961 ) , about racial equality ; The Butter Battle Book ( 1984 ) , about the arms race ; Yertle the Turtle ( 1958 ) , about Adolf Hitler and anti-authoritarianism ; How the Grinch Stole Christmas ! ( 1957 ) , criticizing the materialism and consumerism of the Christmas season ; and Horton Hears a Who ! ( 1954 ) , about anti-isolationism and internationalism . Poetic meters Geisel wrote most of his books in anapestic tetrameter , a poetic meter employed by many poets of the English literary canon . This is often suggested as one of the reasons that Geisel 's writing was so well received . Anapestic tetrameter consists of four rhythmic units called anapests , each composed of two weak syllables followed by one strong syllable ( the beat ) ; often , the first weak syllable is omitted , or an additional weak syllable is added at the end . An example of this meter can be found in Geisel 's `` Yertle the Turtle '' , from Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories : And today the Great Yertle , that Marvelous he Is King of the Mud . That is all he can see . Some books by Geisel that are written mainly in anapestic tetrameter also contain many lines written in amphibrachic tetrameter , such as these from If I Ran the Circus : All ready to put up the tents for my circus . I think I will call it the Circus McGurkus . And NOW comes an act of Enormous Enormance ! No former performer 's performed this performance ! Geisel also wrote verse in trochaic tetrameter , an arrangement of a strong syllable followed by a weak syllable , with four units per line ( for example , the title of One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish ) . Traditionally , English trochaic meter permits the final weak position in the line to be omitted , which allows both masculine and feminine rhymes . Geisel generally maintained trochaic meter for only brief passages , and for longer stretches typically mixed it with iambic tetrameter , which consists of a weak syllable followed by a strong , and is generally considered easier to write . Thus , for example , the magicians in Bartholomew and the Oobleck make their first appearance chanting in trochees ( thus resembling the witches of Shakespeare 's Macbeth ) : Shuffle , duffle , muzzle , muff They then switch to iambs for the oobleck spell : Go make the Oobleck tumble down On every street , in every town !

( September 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Geisel at work on a drawing of the Grinch for How the Grinch Stole Christmas ! in 1957 Geisel 's early artwork often employed the shaded texture of pencil drawings or watercolors , but in his children 's books of the postwar period , he generally made use of a starker medium -- pen and ink -- normally using just black , white , and one or two colors . His later books , such as The Lorax , used more colors . Geisel 's style was unique -- his figures are often `` rounded '' and somewhat droopy . This is true , for instance , of the faces of the Grinch and the Cat in the Hat . Almost all his buildings and machinery were devoid of straight lines when they were drawn , even when he was representing real objects . For example , If I Ran the Circus shows a droopy hoisting crane and a droopy steam calliope . Geisel evidently enjoyed drawing architecturally elaborate objects . His endlessly varied but never rectilinear palaces , ramps , platforms , and free - standing stairways are among his most evocative creations . Geisel also drew complex imaginary machines , such as the Audio - Telly - O - Tally - O - Count , from Dr. Seuss 's Sleep Book , or the `` most peculiar machine '' of Sylvester McMonkey McBean in The Sneetches . Geisel also liked drawing outlandish arrangements of feathers or fur : for example , the 500th hat of Bartholomew Cubbins , the tail of Gertrude McFuzz , and the pet for girls who like to brush and comb , in One Fish , Two Fish , Red Fish , Blue Fish . Geisel 's illustrations often convey motion vividly . He was fond of a sort of `` voilà '' gesture in which the hand flips outward and the fingers spread slightly backward with the thumb up . This motion is done by Ish in One Fish , Two Fish , Red Fish , Blue Fish when he creates fish ( who perform the gesture with their fins ) , in the introduction of the various acts of If I Ran the Circus , and in the introduction of the `` Little Cats '' in The Cat in the Hat Comes Back . He was also fond of drawing hands with interlocked fingers , making it look as though his characters were twiddling their thumbs . Geisel also follows the cartoon tradition of showing motion with lines , like in the sweeping lines that accompany Sneelock 's final dive in If I Ran the Circus . Cartoon lines are also used to illustrate the action of the senses -- sight , smell , and hearing -- in The Big Brag , and lines even illustrate `` thought '' , as in the moment when the Grinch conceives his awful plan to ruin Christmas . Recurring images Geisel 's early work in advertising and editorial cartooning helped him to produce `` sketches '' of things that received more perfect realization later in his children 's books . Often , the expressive use to which Geisel put an image later on was quite different from the original . Here are some examples : An editorial cartoon from July 16 , 1941 depicts a whale resting on the top of a mountain as a parody of American isolationists , especially Charles Lindbergh . This was later rendered ( with no apparent political content ) as the Wumbus of On Beyond Zebra ( 1955 ) . Seussian whales ( cheerful and balloon - shaped , with long eyelashes ) also occur in McElligot 's Pool , If I Ran the Circus , and other books . Another editorial cartoon from 1941 shows a long cow with many legs and udders representing the conquered nations of Europe being milked by Adolf Hitler . This later became the Umbus of On Beyond Zebra . The tower of turtles in a 1942 editorial cartoon prefigures a similar tower in Yertle the Turtle . This theme also appeared in a Judge cartoon as one letter of a hieroglyphic message , and in Geisel 's short - lived comic strip Hejji . Geisel once stated that Yertle the Turtle was Adolf Hitler . Little cats A , B , and C ( as well as the rest of the alphabet ) who spring from each other 's hats appeared in a Ford Motor Company ⋅ ad . The connected beards in Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are ? appear frequently in Geisel 's work , most notably in Hejji , which featured two goats joined at the beard , The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. , which featured two roller - skating guards joined at the beard , and a political cartoon in which Nazism and the America First movement are portrayed as `` the men with the Siamese Beard '' . Geisel 's earliest elephants were for advertising and had somewhat wrinkly ears , much as real elephants do . With And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street ! ( 1937 ) and Horton Hatches the Egg ( 1940 ) , the ears became more stylized , somewhat like angel wings and thus appropriate to the saintly Horton . During World War II , the elephant image appeared as an emblem for India in four editorial cartoons . Horton and similar elephants appear frequently in the postwar children 's books . While drawing advertisements for Flit , Geisel became adept at drawing insects with huge stingers , shaped like a gentle S - curve and with a sharp end that included a rearward - pointing barb on its lower side . Their facial expressions depict gleeful malevolence . These insects were later rendered in an editorial cartoon as a swarm of Allied aircraft ( 1942 ) , and again as the Sneedle of On Beyond Zebra , and yet again as the Skritz in I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew . There are many examples of creatures who arrange themselves in repeating patterns , such as the `` Two and fro walkers , who march in five layers '' , and the Through - Horns Jumping Deer in If I Ran the Circus , and the arrangement of birds which the protagonist of Oh , the Places You 'll Go ! walks through , as the narrator admonishes him to `` ... always be dexterous and deft , and never mix up your right foot with your left . '' Publications Further information : Dr. Seuss bibliography Geisel wrote more than 60 books over the course of his long career . Most were published under his well - known pseudonym Dr. Seuss , though he also authored more than a dozen books as Theo LeSieg and one as Rosetta Stone . His books have topped many bestseller lists , sold over 600 million copies , and been translated into more than 20 languages . In 2000 , Publishers Weekly compiled a list of the best - selling children 's books of all time ; of the top 100 hardcover books , 16 were written by Geisel , including Green Eggs and Ham , at number 4 , The Cat in the Hat , at number 9 , and One Fish , Two Fish , Red Fish , Blue Fish , at number 13 . In the years after his death in 1991 , two additional books were published based on his sketches and notes : Hooray for Diffendoofer Day ! and Daisy - Head Mayzie . My Many Colored Days was originally written in 1973 but was posthumously published in 1996 . In September 2011 , seven stories originally published in magazines during the 1950s were released in a collection titled The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories . Geisel also wrote a pair of books for adults : The Seven Lady Godivas ( 1939 ; reprinted 1987 ) , a retelling of the Lady Godiva legend that included nude depictions ; and You 're Only Old Once ! ( written in 1986 when Geisel was 82 ) , which chronicles an old man 's journey through a clinic . His last book was Oh , the Places You 'll Go ! , which published the year before his death and became a popular gift for graduating students .

Pictures -- -- -- Adaptations Seuss Landing at Islands of Adventure in Orlando , Florida For most of his career , Geisel was reluctant to have his characters marketed in contexts outside of his own books . However , he did permit the creation of several animated cartoons , an art form in which he had gained experience during World War II , and he gradually relaxed his policy as he aged . The first adaptation of one of Geisel 's works was a cartoon version of Horton Hatches the Egg , animated at Warner Bros. in 1942 and directed by Bob Clampett . It was presented as part of the Merrie Melodies series and included a number of gags not present in the original narrative , including a fish committing suicide and a Katharine Hepburn imitation by Mayzie . As part of the Puppetoon theatrical cartoon series for Paramount Pictures , two of Geisel 's works were adapted into stop - motion films by George Pal . The first , `` The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins '' , was released in 1943 and nominated for an Academy Award for `` Short Subject ( Cartoon ) '' the following year . The second , `` And to Think I Saw It On Mulberry Street '' , with a title slightly altered from the book 's , was released in 1944 . In 1959 , Geisel authorized Revell , the well - known plastic model - making company , to make a series of `` animals '' that snapped together rather than being glued together , and could be assembled , disassembled , and re-assembled `` in thousands '' of ways . The series was called the `` Dr. Seuss Zoo '' and included Gowdy the Dowdy Grackle , Norval the Bashful Blinket , Tingo the Noodle Topped Stroodle , and Roscoe the Many Footed Lion . The basic body parts were the same and all were interchangeable , and so it was possible for children to combine parts from various characters in essentially unlimited ways in creating their own animal characters ( Revell encouraged this by selling Gowdy , Norval , and Tingo together in a `` Gift Set '' as well as individually ) . Revell also made a conventional glue - together `` beginner 's kit '' of The Cat in the Hat . In 1966 , Geisel authorized eminent cartoon artist Chuck Jones -- his friend and former colleague from the war -- to make a cartoon version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas ! Geisel was credited as a co-producer under his real name Ted Geisel , along with Jones . The cartoon was narrated by Boris Karloff , who also provided the voice of the Grinch . It was very faithful to the original book , and is considered a classic to this day by many . It is often broadcast as an annual Christmas television special . Jones directed an adaptation of Horton Hears a Who ! in 1970 and produced an adaptation of The Cat in the Hat in 1971 . From 1972 to 1983 , Geisel wrote six animated specials that were produced by DePatie - Freleng : The Lorax ( 1972 ) ; Dr. Seuss on the Loose ( 1973 ) ; The Hoober - Bloob Highway ( 1975 ) ; Halloween Is Grinch Night ( 1977 ) ; Pontoffel Pock , Where Are You ? ( 1980 ) ; and The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat ( 1982 ) . Several of the specials won multiple Emmy Awards . A Soviet paint - on - glass - animated short film was made in 1986 called Welcome , an adaptation of Thidwick the Big - Hearted Moose . The last adaptation of Geisel 's work before he died was The Butter Battle Book , a television special based on the book of the same name , directed by adult animation legend Ralph Bakshi . A television film titled In Search of Dr. Seuss was released in 1994 , which adapted many of Seuss 's stories . It uses both live - action versions and animated versions of the characters and stories featured ; however , the animated portions were merely edited versions of previous animated television specials and , in some cases , re-dubbed as well . After Geisel died of cancer at the age of 87 in 1991 , his widow Audrey Geisel was placed in charge of all licensing matters . She approved a live - action feature - film version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas starring Jim Carrey , as well as a Seuss - themed Broadway musical called Seussical , and both premiered in 2000 . The Grinch has had limited engagement runs on Broadway during the Christmas season , after premiering in 1998 ( under the title How the Grinch Stole Christmas ) at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego , where it has become a Christmas tradition . In 2003 , another live - action film was released , this time an adaptation of The Cat in the Hat that featured Mike Myers as the title character . Audrey Geisel has spoken critically of the film , especially the casting of Myers as the Cat in the Hat , and stated that she would not allow any further live - action adaptations of Geisel 's books . However , a first animated CGI feature film adaptation of Horton Hears a Who ! was approved , and was eventually released on March 14 , 2008 , to critical acclaim . A second CGI - animated feature film adaptation of The Lorax was released by Universal on March 2 , 2012 ( on what would have been Seuss 's 108th birthday ) , and third CGI - animated feature film adaptation of The Grinch was released by Universal on November 9 , 2018 . Four television series have been adapted from Geisel 's work . The first , Gerald McBoing - Boing , was an animated television adaptation of Geisel 's 1951 cartoon of the same name and lasted three months between 1956 and 1957 . The second , The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss , was a mix of live - action and puppetry by Jim Henson Television , the producers of The Muppets . It aired for one season on Nickelodeon in the United States , from 1996 to 1997 . The third , Gerald McBoing - Boing , is a remake of the 1956 series . Produced in Canada by Cookie Jar Entertainment ( now DHX Media ) and North America by Classic Media ( now DreamWorks Classics ) , it ran from 2005 to 2007 . The fourth , The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That ! , produced by Portfolio Entertainment Inc. , began on August 7 , 2010 , in Canada and September 6 , 2010 , in the United States and is currently still showing . Geisel 's books and characters are also featured in Seuss Landing , one of many islands at the Islands of Adventure theme park in Orlando , Florida . In an attempt to match Geisel 's visual style , there are reportedly `` no straight lines '' in Seuss Landing . The Hollywood Reporter has reported that Warner Animation Group and Dr. Seuss Enterprises have struck a deal to make new animated movies based on the stories of Dr. Seuss . Their first project will be a fully animated version of The Cat in the Hat .

List of countries by life expectancy - wikipedia List of countries by life expectancy This is the current revision of this page , as edited by 72 ( talk contribs ) at 20 : 52 , 18 August 2017 ( Reverted edits by 74.112. 41.242 ( talk ) to last version by AndersonPv ) . The present address ( URL ) is a permanent link to this version . Revision as of 20 : 52 , 18 August 2017 by 72 ( talk contribs ) ( Reverted edits by 74.112. 41.242 ( talk ) to last version by AndersonPv ) ( diff ) ← Previous revision Latest revision ( diff ) Newer revision → ( diff ) Jump to : navigation , search Comparison of average male and female life expectancy at birth for countries and territories as defined in the 2013 CIA Factbook , with selected bubbles labelled . The dotted line corresponds to equal female and male life expectancy . The apparent 3D volumes of the bubbles are linearly proportional to their population . ( In the SVG file , hover over a bubble to highlight it and show its data . ) This is a collection of lists of countries by average life expectancy at birth . Contents ( hide ) 1 Methodology 2 List by the World Health Organization ( 2015 ) 3 List by the United Nations , for 2010 -- 2015 4 List from the `` GBD 2010 '' study 5 List by the CIA ( 2016 ) 6 List by the OECD ( 2013 ) 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Methodology ( edit ) Life expectancy equals the average number of years a person born in a given country is expected to live if mortality rates at each age were to remain steady in the future . The life expectancy is shown separately for males and females , as well as a combined figure . Several non-sovereign entities are also included in this list . The figures reflect the quality of healthcare in the countries listed as well as other factors including ongoing wars , obesity , and HIV infections . Worldwide , the average life expectancy at birth was 71.5 years ( 68 years and 4 months for males and 72 years and 8 months for females ) over the period 2010 -- 2015 according to United Nations World Population Prospects 2015 Revision , or 69 years ( 67 years for males and 71.1 years for females ) for 2016 according to The World Factbook . According to the 2015 World Health Organization ( WHO ) data , women on average live longer than men in all major regions and in all individual countries except for Mali and Swaziland . The countries with the lowest overall life expectancies per the WHO are Sierra Leone , the Central African Republic , the Democratic Republic of the Congo , Guinea - Bissau , Lesotho , Somalia , Swaziland , Angola , Chad , Mali , Burundi , Cameroon , and Mozambique . Of those countries , only Lesotho , Swaziland , and Mozambique in 2011 were suffering from an HIV prevalence rate of greater than 10 percent in the 15 -- 49 age group . Comparing life expectancies from birth across countries can be problematic . There are differing definitions of live birth vs stillbirth even among more developed countries and less developed countries often have poor reporting . Taiwan 's data is not included in the following WHO statistics . According to the Ministry of the Interior of Taiwan , the life expectancy of the 23.5 - million Taiwanese people reached 80.2 years in 2015 , up from 79.84 years in 2014 . The life expectancy of Taiwanese males averaged 77.01 , while that of females reached 83.62 , both of which were record highs . Hong Kong is a territory with the world 's highest life expectancy according to Hong Kong Department of Health , the life expectancy reached 84.0 years in 2015 surpassing Japan 's 83.7 years . With men at 81.2 years and women at 87.3 years . The data is not included in the following WHO statistics as a separate entity since Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of China , and is not itself a member of the WHO . List by the World Health Organization ( 2015 ) ( edit ) 2015 data published in May 2016 .

Centrifugation

Centrifugation - wikipedia Centrifugation Jump to : navigation , search This article includes a list of references , but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations . Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations . ( November 2010 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Centrifugation is a process which involves the application of the centrifugal force for the sedimentation of heterogeneous mixtures with a centrifuge , and is used in industrial and laboratory settings . This process is used to separate two miscible substances , but also to analyze the hydrodynamic properties of macromolecules . More - dense components of the mixture migrate away from the axis of the centrifuge , while less - dense components of the mixture migrate towards the axis . Chemists and biologists may increase the effective gravitational force on a test tube so as to more rapidly and completely cause the precipitate ( pellet ) to gather on the bottom of the tube . The remaining solution ( supernatant ) may be discarded with a pipette . There is a correlation between the size and density of a particle and the rate that the particle separates from a heterogeneous mixture , when the only force applied is that of gravity . The larger the size and the larger the density of the particles , the faster they separate from the mixture . By applying a larger effective gravitational force to the mixture , like a centrifuge does , the separation of the particles is accelerated . This is ideal in industrial and lab settings because particles that would naturally separate over a long period of time can be separated in much less time . The rate of centrifugation is specified by the angular velocity usually expressed as revolutions per minute ( RPM ) , or acceleration expressed as g . The conversion factor between RPM and g depends on the radius of the centrifuge rotor . The particles ' settling velocity in centrifugation is a function of their size and shape , centrifugal acceleration , the volume fraction of solids present , the density difference between the particle and the liquid , and the viscosity . The most common application is the separation of solid from highly concentrated suspensions , which is used in the treatment of sewage sludges for dewatering where less consistent sediment is produced . In the chemical and food industries , special centrifuges can process a continuous stream of particle - laden liquid . Centrifugation is the most common method used for uranium enrichment , relying on the slight mass difference between atoms of U238 and U235 in uranium hexafluoride gas. .

However , depending on the centrifuge model used , the respective angle of the rotor and the radius may vary , thus the formula gets modified . For example , the Sorvall # SS - 34 rotor has a maximum radius of 10.8 cm , so the formula becomes R P M = 299 g r ( \ displaystyle RPM = 299 ( \ sqrt ( g \ over r ) ) ) , which can further simplify to R P M = 91 g ( \ displaystyle RPM = 91 ( \ sqrt ( g ) ) ) . the applied centrifugation field is square angular velocity in radians per sec . the radial distance o the particle from the axis Centrifugation in biological Research ( edit ) Microcentrifuges ( edit ) Microcentrifuges are used to process small volumes of biological molecules , cells , or nuclei . Microcentrifuge tubes generally hold 0.5 - 2.0 mL of liquid , and are spun at maximum angular speeds of 12,000 -- 13,000 rpm . Microcentrifuges are small enough to fit on a table - top and have rotors that can quickly change speeds . They may or may not have a refrigeration function . High - speed centrifuges ( edit ) High - speed or superspeed centrifuges can handle larger sample volumes , from a few tens of millilitres to several litres . Additionally , larger centrifuges can also reach higher angular velocities ( around 30,000 rpm ) . The rotors may come with different adapters to hold various sizes of test tubes , bottles , or microtiter plates . Fractionation process ( edit ) General method of fractionation : Cell sample is stored in a suspension which is : Buffered - neutral pH , preventing damage to the structure of proteins including enzymes ( which could affect ionic bonds ) Isotonic ( of equal water potential ) - this prevents water gain or loss by the organelles Cool - reducing the overall activity of enzyme released later in the procedure Cells are homogenised in a blender and filtered to remove debris The homogenised sample is placed in an ultracentrifuge and spun in low speed - nuclei settle out , forming a pellet The supernatant ( suspension containing remaining organelles ) is spun at a higher speed - chloroplasts settle out The supernatant is spun at a higher speed still - mitochondria and lysosomes settle out The supernatant is spun at an even higher speed - ribosomes , membranes settle out The ribosomes , membranes and Golgi complexes can be separated by another technique called density gradient centrifugation . Ultracentrifugations ( edit ) Main articles : Differential centrifugation , Isopycnic centrifugation , and ultracentrifugation Ultracentrifugation makes use of high centrifugal force for studying properties of biological particles . Compared to microcentrifuges or high - speed centrifuges , ultracentrifuges can isolate much smaller particles , including ribosomes , proteins , and viruses . Ultracentrifuges can also be used in the study of membrane fractionation . This occurs because ultracentrifuges can reach maximum angular velocities in excess of 70,000 rpm . Additionally , while microcentrifuges and supercentrifuges separate particles in batches ( limited volumes of samples must be handled manually in test tubes or bottles ) , ultracentrifuges can separate molecules in batch or continuous flow systems . In addition to purification , analytical ultracentrifugation ( AUC ) can be used for determination of the properties of macromolecules such as shape , mass , composition , and conformation . Samples are centrifuged with a high - density solution such as sucrose , caesium chloride , or iodixanol . The high - density solution may be at a uniform concentration throughout the test tube ( `` cushion '' ) or a varying concentration ( `` gradient '' ) . Molecular properties can be modeled through sedimentation velocity analysis or sedimentation equilibrium analysis . During the run , the particle or molecules will migrate through the test tube at different speeds depending on their physical properties and the properties of the solution , and eventually form a pellet at the bottom of the tube , or bands at various heights . Density gradient centrifugation ( edit ) Density gradient centrifugation Is considered one of the more efficient methods of separating suspended particles . Density gradient centrifugation can be used both as a separation technique and as a method of measuring the densities of particles or molecules in a mixture . A tube , after being centrifuged by this method , has particles in order of density based on height . The object or particle of interest will reside in the position within the tube corresponding to its density . Linderstorm - Lang , in 1937 , discovered that density gradient tubes could be used for density measurements . He discovered this when working with potato yellow - dwarf virus . This method was also used in Meselson and Stahl 's famous experiment in which they proved that DNA replication is semi-conservative by using different isotopes of nitrogen . They used density gradient centrifugation to determine which isotope or isotopes of nitrogen were present in the DNA after cycles of replication . Nevertheless , some non-ideal sedimentations are still possible when using this method . The first potential issue is the unwanted aggregation of particles , but this can occur in any centrifugation . The second possibility occurs when droplets of solution that contain particles sediment . This is more likely to occur when working with a solution that has a layer of suspension floating on a dense liquid , which in fact have little to no density gradient . Differential centrifugation ( edit ) Differential Centrifugation is a type of centrifugation in which one selectively spins down components of a mixture by a series of increasing centrifugation forces . This method is commonly used to separate organelles and membranes found in cells . Organelles generally differ from each other in density in size , making the use of differential centrifugation , and centrifugation in general , possible . The organelles can then be identified by testing for indicators that are unique to the specific organelles . Other applications ( edit ) Separating chalk powder from water Removing fat from milk to produce skimmed milk Separating particles from an air - flow using cyclonic separation The clarification and stabilization of wine Separation of urine components and blood components in forensic and research laboratories Aids in separation of proteins using purification techniques such as salting out , e.g. ammonium sulfate precipitation . History ( edit ) By 1923 Theodor Svedberg and his student H. Rinde had successfully analyzed large - grained sols in terms of their gravitational sedimentation . Sols consist of a substance evenly distributed in another substance , also known as a colloid . However , smaller grained sols , such as those containing gold , could not be analyzed . To investigate this problem Svedberg developed an analytical centrifuge , equipped with a photographic absorption system , which would exert a much greater centrifugal effect . In addition , he developed the theory necessary to measure molecular weight . During this time , Svedberg 's attention shifted from gold to proteins . By 1900 , it had been generally accepted that proteins were composed of amino acids ; however , whether proteins were colloids or macromolecules was still under debate . One protein being investigated at the time was hemoglobin . It was determined to have 712 carbon , 1,130 hydrogen , 243 oxygen , two sulfur atoms , and at least one iron atom . This gave hemoglobin a resulting weight of approximately 16,000 dalton ( Da ) but it was uncertain whether this value was a multiple of one or four ( dependent upon the number of iron atoms present ) . Through a series of experiments utilizing the sedimentation equilibrium technique , two important observations were made : hemoglobin has a molecular weight of 68,000 Da , suggesting that there are four iron atoms present rather than one , and that no matter where the hemoglobin was isolated from , it had exactly the same molecular weight . How something of such a large molecular mass could be consistently found , regardless of where it was sampled from in the body , was unprecedented and favored the idea the proteins are macromolecules rather than colloids . In order to investigate this phenomenon , a centrifuge with even higher speeds was needed , and thus the ultracentrifuge was created to apply the theory of sedimentation - diffusion . The same molecular mass was determined , and the presence of a spreading boundary suggested that it was a single compact particle . Further application of centrifugation showed that under different conditions the large homogeneous particles could be broken down into discrete subunits . The development of centrifugation was a great advance in experimental protein science . Sources ( edit ) Harrison , Roger G. , Todd , Paul , Rudge , Scott R. , Petrides D.P.

It was first presented as part of the television broadcast of the show in September 1984 , was released as a single in 1985 , and peaked at the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 . It was the last instrumental to top the Hot 100 until 2013 , when `` Harlem Shake '' by Baauer reached number one . It also peaked at number five in the UK and number four in Canada . In 1986 , it won Grammy Awards for `` Best Instrumental Composition '' and `` Best Pop Instrumental Performance . '' This song , along with Glenn Frey 's number two hit `` You Belong to the City '' , put the Miami Vice soundtrack on the top of the US album chart for 11 weeks in 1985 , making it the most successful TV soundtrack of all time until 2006 , when Disney Channel 's High School Musical beat its record .

The famous synthesized guitar lead hook is absent from it , and it features distinct synth guitar notes in its midsection . The 0 : 57 version in the following 3 regular episodes , which only contains the percussion and keyboards , without the synth guitar hook . It was essentially a shortened version of the pilot , although it already featured the same melody progression and conclusion at its end as in all the later episodes . According to Jan Hammer 's manager Elliot Sears , the missing guitar lead hook was the result of the sound elements not being mixed together as Hammer intended . The 1 : 00 synth guitar hook version that aired with all later episodes . It was first introduced at the end of the first regular episode , Heart of Darkness , over the closing credits , albeit with the guitar hook slightly more muted than in future episodes . The 2 : 26 full radio airplay version , the final 55 seconds of which are very similar to the 1 : 00 TV version . An extended dance remix , released in 1985 as a 12 '' single containing two different length versions ( in addition to the original version of the theme ) . Music video ( edit ) The music video of the theme is a mini-episode of the TV series with Hammer as a fugitive on the run from James `` Sonny '' Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs . Throughout the majority of the video , Hammer performs the theme in front of a projector screen playing footage from the TV series -- including scenes of the Vice duo chasing him . In the end of the video , he boards a helicopter and escapes from Crockett 's sight . The video also shows shots of Fairlight CMI screens including the page R ( sequencer ) page and the waveform page .

The cover is a hidden track within their song `` Touch Like Angel of Death '' . Appearances ( edit ) Episodes ( edit ) Miami Vice 's pilot episode , made as a two - hour TV movie , did not originally have a theme , but the musical sounds and notation that would become the theme were present as background score . When the series got picked up , Hammer created the 60 second version of the theme . The synth - guitar lead was missing in the aired version of the pilot and the first batch of episodes , and this unfinished version of the theme has remained attached to those episodes , even on the DVD video box set released in 2005 . Commercial ( edit ) The theme is also remembered as the song played during the first few three - point competitions at the NBA All - Star Weekend , including the one in 1986 where Larry Bird famously walked into the locker room and told all his competitors they were playing for second place . Radio ( edit ) From 1992 until 1997 , it was used as the theme music for Westwood One 's Radio Free D.C. : The G. Gordon Liddy Show . ( From 1992 until 1996 , an announcer would introduce the show during the music bed , saying , `` From Washington D.C. , Radio Free D.C. , with G. Gordon Liddy '' . ) Liddy had been a recurring guest on Miami Vice during its run . English radio presenter Paul Breeze adopted the tune to open his music shows on Blackpool 's Kit Kat Radio from 1996 to 1999 and , more recently , he re-adopted the tune for Paul & Lucy 's `` Best Kept Secrets '' show -- featuring what 's on news and interviews for the Blackpool area -- on internet radio station Fylde FM during early 2010 . In the Philippines , FM station DWFM or Radyo Singko 92.3 News FM use the music as the background music for its morning news program `` Punto Asintado '' which is presented by Erwin Tulfo and Martin Andanar .

The population was 309 at the 2010 census . Contents ( hide ) 1 Economy 2 Mining 3 Geography 4 Demographics 5 Transportation 6 References 7 External links Economy ( edit ) The Red Dog mine is the only economic activity and the mine is the only inhabited site within the Red Dog Mine CDP . Mining ( edit ) The Red Dog Mine CDP derives its name from the Red Dog mine , the world 's largest source for zinc and a significant source of lead . Construction of the Red Dog mine began in 1987 , after exploration revealed that the area was rich in metals . The Red Dog ore body is one of the world 's most significant zinc deposits , containing a number of ore bodies . The mine is located in Alaska 's Northwest Arctic Borough , in the DeLong Mountains of the western Brooks Range , 90 miles north of Kotzebue and 55 miles from the Chukchi Sea . At the end of 2007 , the site 's proven and probable reserves plus indicated resources amounted to 77.5 million tons , containing 17.5 percent zinc and 4.8 percent lead , as well as 2.8 ounces per ton of silver . In addition , Red Dog also contains 36.6 million tons of inferred resources . The entire deposit lies inside a relatively small area ( one mile by one - half mile ) . The deposit is essentially flat - lying at the surface , making open pit mining the extraction method of choice. ( 1 ) Geography ( edit ) Red Dog Mine is located at 68 ° 04 ′ 19 '' N 162 ° 52 ′ 34 '' W  /  68.071989 ° N 162.876044 ° W  / 68.071989 ; - 162.876044 . It is in the DeLong Mountains in the remote western Brooks Range about 90 miles ( 140 km ) north of Kotzebue and 55 miles ( 89 km ) from the Chukchi Sea . Red Dog Mine is very isolated . It is located within the Northwest Arctic Borough , an area approximately the size of Indiana with only 11 communities , none connected by roads , with a total population of only 7,208 people at the 2000 census . The nearest of those communities are Noatak , population 428 , roughly 50 miles ( 80 km ) south and Kivalina , population 377 , roughly 60 miles ( 100 km ) west at the 2000 census . Although native populations have historically used the nearby area for seasonal food - gathering , there are no permanent residents at the mine or the port site . The mine 's workforce consists of about 460 employees and contractors , of which somewhat more than half will be on - site at any given time . At the mine , everyone stays in the single large housing unit , tucked in among the process buildings near the edge of the open pit , while a small portion of the work force stays at the port site . According to the United States Census Bureau , the CDP has a total area of 66.9 square miles ( 173 km ) , all land . Demographics ( edit ) As of the census of 2000 , there were 32 people , 0 households , and 0 families residing in the CDP . The population density was 0.5 people per square mile ( 0.2 / km2 ) . There were 0 housing units . The racial makeup of the CDP was 31.25 % White , 65.62 % Native American , and 3.12 % from two or more races . In the CDP , the age distribution of the population shows 18.8 % from 18 to 24 , 62.5 % from 25 to 44 , and 18.8 % from 45 to 64 . The median age was 34 years . For every 100 females there were 700.0 males . For every 100 females age 18 and over , there were 700.0 males . The median income for both males and females in the CDP was $0 . The per capita income for the CDP was $34,438. 37.9 % of the population were living below the poverty line . Transportation ( edit ) A 52 - mile ( 84 km ) long haul road connects the mine to the mine 's port site on the Chukchi Sea . The region is accessible only by air , served by the Red Dog Airport , except during the 100 - day shipping season . Mine workers from remote villages in the region are ferried to the mine on small aircraft . Alaska Airlines is contracted by the mine to fly other mine workers out of Anchorage .

The band 's discography has grown to thirty - eight albums , including sixteen studio albums , twelve live albums , four EPs , and seven compilations . Pioneers of the new wave of British heavy metal , Iron Maiden achieved initial success during the early 1980s . After several line - up changes , the band went on to release a series of UK and US platinum and gold albums , including 1982 's The Number of the Beast , 1983 's Piece of Mind , 1984 's Powerslave , 1985 's live release Live After Death , 1986 's Somewhere in Time and 1988 's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son . Since the return of lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith in 1999 , the band have undergone a resurgence in popularity , with their 2010 studio offering , The Final Frontier , peaking at No. 1 in 28 countries and receiving widespread critical acclaim . Their sixteenth studio album , The Book of Souls , was released on 4 September 2015 to similar success . Despite little radio or television support , Iron Maiden are considered one of the most successful heavy metal bands in history , with The Sunday Times reporting in 2017 that the band have sold over 100 million copies of their albums worldwide . The band won the Ivor Novello Award for international achievement in 2002 . As of October 2013 , the band have played over 2000 live shows throughout their career . For over 35 years the band have been supported by their famous mascot , `` Eddie '' , who has appeared on almost all of their album and single covers , as well as in their live shows .

Iron Maiden were formed on Christmas Day in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris shortly after he left his previous group , Smiler . Harris attributes the band 's name to a film adaptation of The Man in the Iron Mask from the novel by Alexandre Dumas , the title of which reminded him of the iron maiden torture device . After months of rehearsal , Iron Maiden made their debut at St. Nicks Hall in Poplar on 1 May 1976 , before taking up a semi-residency at the Cart and Horses Pub in Maryland Point , Stratford . The original line - up did not last very long , however , with vocalist Paul Day being the first casualty as , according to Harris , he lacked `` energy or charisma on stage '' . He was replaced by Dennis Wilcock , a Kiss fan who used make - up and fake blood during live performances . Wilcock 's friend Dave Murray was invited to join , to the dismay of the band 's guitarists Dave Sullivan and Terry Rance . Their frustration led Harris to temporarily disband Iron Maiden in 1976 , though the group reformed soon after with Murray as the sole guitarist . Steve Harris and Dave Murray remain the band 's longest - standing members and have performed on all of their releases . Dave Murray and Steve Harris in 2008 . Harris and Murray are the only members to have performed on all of the band 's albums . Iron Maiden recruited yet another guitarist in 1977 , Bob Sawyer , who was sacked for embarrassing the band on stage by pretending to play guitar with his teeth . Tension ensued again , causing a rift between Murray and Wilcock , who convinced Harris to fire Murray , as well as original drummer Ron Matthews . A new line - up was put together , including future Cutting Crew member Tony Moore on keyboards , Terry Wapram on guitar , and drummer Barry Purkis ( better known today as Thunderstick ) . A bad performance at the Bridgehouse , a pub located in Canning Town , in November 1977 was the line - up 's first and only concert and led to Purkis being replaced by Doug Sampson . At the same time , Moore was asked to leave as Harris decided that keyboards did not suit the band 's sound . A few months later , Dennis Wilcock decided that he had had enough with the group and left to form his own band , V1 , and Dave Murray was immediately reinstated . As he preferred to be the band 's sole guitarist , Wapram disapproved of Murray 's return and was also dismissed . Steve Harris , Dave Murray and Doug Sampson spent the summer and autumn of 1978 rehearsing while they searched for a singer to complete the band 's new line - up . A chance meeting at the Red Lion pub in Leytonstone in November 1978 evolved into a successful audition for vocalist Paul Di'Anno . Steve Harris has stated , `` There 's sort of a quality in Paul 's voice , a raspiness in his voice , or whatever you want to call it , that just gave it this great edge . '' At this time , Murray would typically act as their sole guitarist , with Harris commenting , `` Davey was so good he could do a lot of it on his own . The plan was always to get a second guitarist in , but finding one that could match Davey was really difficult . '' Record contract and early releases ( 1978 -- 1981 ) ( edit ) Main articles : The Soundhouse Tapes , Iron Maiden ( album ) , and Killers ( Iron Maiden album ) On New Year 's Eve 1978 , Iron Maiden recorded a demo , consisting of four songs , at Spaceward Studios in Cambridge . Hoping the recording would help them secure more gigs , the band presented a copy to Neal Kay , then managing a heavy metal club called `` Bandwagon Heavy Metal Soundhouse '' , located in Kingsbury Circle , northwest London . Upon hearing the tape , Kay began playing the demo regularly at the Bandwagon , and one of the songs , `` Prowler '' , eventually went to No. 1 in the Soundhouse charts , which were published weekly in Sounds magazine . A copy was also acquired by Rod Smallwood , who soon became the band 's manager , and , as Iron Maiden 's popularity increased , they released the demo on their own record label as The Soundhouse Tapes , named after the club . Featuring only three tracks ( one song , `` Strange World '' , was excluded as the band were unsatisfied with its production ) all five thousand copies were sold out within weeks . In December 1979 , the band secured a major record deal with EMI and asked Dave Murray 's childhood friend Adrian Smith of Urchin to join the group as their second guitarist. Smith declined as he was busy with his own band , Urchin , so Iron Maiden hired guitarist Dennis Stratton instead . Shortly afterwards , Doug Sampson left due to health issues and was replaced by ex-Samson drummer Clive Burr at Stratton 's suggestion on 26 December . Iron Maiden 's first appearance on an album was on the Metal for Muthas compilation ( released on 15 February 1980 ) with two early versions of `` Sanctuary '' and `` Wrathchild '' . The release led to an ensuing tour which featured several other bands linked with the new wave of British heavy metal . Paul Di'Anno and Steve Harris supporting Judas Priest on their British Steel Tour , 1980 Iron Maiden 's eponymous 1980 release , Iron Maiden , debuted at No. 4 in the UK Albums Chart . In addition to the title track ( a live version of which would be one of the first music videos aired on MTV ) , the album includes other early favourites such as `` Running Free '' , `` Transylvania '' , `` Phantom of the Opera '' , and `` Sanctuary '' -- which was not on the original UK release but appeared on the US version and subsequent remasters . The band set out on a headline tour of the UK , before opening for Kiss on their 1980 Unmasked Tour 's European leg as well as supporting Judas Priest on select dates . Iron Maiden also appeared , to much acclaim , at the Reading Festival 1980 . They were second to top of the bill on the Saturday , with UFO headlining . After the Kiss tour , Dennis Stratton was dismissed from the band as a result of creative and personal differences , and was replaced by Adrian Smith in October 1980 . In 1981 , Iron Maiden released their second album , entitled Killers . Containing many tracks written prior to their debut release , only two new songs were written for the record : `` Prodigal Son '' and `` Murders in the Rue Morgue '' ( the latter 's title was taken from the short story by Edgar Allan Poe ) . Unsatisfied with the production on their debut album , the band hired veteran producer Martin Birch , who would go on to work for Iron Maiden until his retirement in 1992 . The record was followed by the band 's first world tour , which included their debut performance in the United States , opening for Judas Priest at The Aladdin Casino , Las Vegas . Success ( 1981 -- 1985 ) ( edit ) Main articles : The Number of the Beast ( album ) , Piece of Mind , Powerslave , and Live After Death By 1981 , Paul Di'Anno was demonstrating increasingly self - destructive behaviour , particularly through his drug usage , about which Di'Anno comments , `` it was n't just that I was snorting a bit of coke , though ; I was just going for it non-stop , 24 hours a day , every day ... the band had commitments piling up that went on for months , years , and I just could n't see my way to the end of it . I knew I 'd never last the whole tour . It was too much . '' With his performances suffering , Di'Anno was immediately dismissed following the Killer World Tour , at which point the band had already selected his replacement . After a meeting with Rod Smallwood at the Reading Festival , Bruce Dickinson , previously of Samson , auditioned for Iron Maiden in September 1981 and was immediately hired . The following month , Dickinson went out on the road with the band on a small headlining tour in Italy , as well as a one - off show at the Rainbow Theatre in the UK . For the last show , and in anticipation of their forthcoming album , the band played `` Children of the Damned '' and `` 22 Acacia Avenue '' , introducing fans to the sound towards which they were progressing . In 1982 , Iron Maiden released The Number of the Beast , an album which gave the band their first UK Albums Chart No. 1 record and additionally became a Top Ten hit in many other countries . At the time , Dickinson was in the midst of legal difficulties with Samson 's management and was not permitted to add his name to any of the songwriting credits , although he still made what he described as a `` moral contribution '' to `` Children of the Damned '' , `` The Prisoner '' and `` Run to the Hills '' . For the second time the band embarked on a world tour , dubbed The Beast on the Road , during which they visited North America , Japan , Australia and Europe , including a headline appearance at the Reading Festival . A new and hugely successful chapter in Iron Maiden 's future was cemented ; in 2010 The New York Times reported that the album had sold over 14 million copies worldwide . The Beast on the Road 's US leg proved controversial when an American conservative political lobbying group claimed Iron Maiden were Satanic because of the new album 's title track , to the point where a group of Christian activists destroyed Iron Maiden records as a protest against the band . In recent years , Dickinson has stated that the band treated this as `` silliness '' , and that the demonstrations in fact gave them `` loads of publicity '' . Nicko McBrain has been Iron Maiden 's drummer since 1982 In December 1982 , drummer Clive Burr was fired from the band and replaced by Nicko McBrain , previously of French band Trust . Although Harris states that his dismissal took place because his live performances were affected by offstage activities , Burr objected to this and claimed that he was unfairly ousted from the band . Soon afterwards , the band journeyed for the first time to The Bahamas to record the first of three consecutive albums at Compass Point Studios . In 1983 , they released Piece of Mind , which reached the No. 3 spot in the UK , and was the band 's debut in the North American charts , reaching No. 70 on the Billboard 200 . Piece of Mind includes the successful singles `` The Trooper '' and `` Flight of Icarus '' , the latter of which being particularly notable as one of the band 's few songs to gain substantial airplay in the US . Soon after the success of Piece of Mind and its supporting tour , the band released Powerslave on 9 September 1984 . The album featured fan favourites `` 2 Minutes to Midnight '' , `` Aces High '' , and `` Rime of The Ancient Mariner '' , the latter based on Samuel Taylor Coleridge 's poem of the same name and running over 13 minutes long . The tour following the album , dubbed the World Slavery Tour , was the band 's largest to date and consisted of 193 shows in 28 countries over 13 months , playing to an estimated 3,500,000 people . Many shows were played back - to - back in the same city , such as in Long Beach , California , where the band played four consecutive concerts . It was here where the majority of their subsequent live release , Live After Death , was recorded , which became a critical and commercial success , peaking at No. 4 in the UK . Iron Maiden also made their debut appearance in South America , where they co-headlined ( with Queen ) the Rock in Rio festival to an estimated crowd of 300,000 . The tour was physically gruelling for the band , who demanded six months off when it ended ( although this was later reduced to four months ) . This was the first substantial break in the group 's history , including the cancellation of a proposed supporting tour for the new live album , with Bruce Dickinson threatening to quit unless the tour ended . Experimentation ( 1986 -- 1989 ) ( edit ) Main articles : Somewhere in Time ( Iron Maiden album ) and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Returning from their time off , the band adopted a different style for their 1986 studio album , entitled Somewhere in Time , featuring , for the first time in the band 's history , synthesised bass and guitars to add textures and layers to the sound . The release charted well across the world , particularly with the single `` Wasted Years '' , but notably included no writing credits from lead singer Bruce Dickinson , whose material was rejected by the rest of the band . While Dickinson was focused on his own music , guitarist Adrian Smith , who typically collaborated with the vocalist , was `` left to ( his ) own devices '' and began writing songs on his own , coming up with `` Wasted Years '' , `` Sea of Madness '' , and `` Stranger in a Strange Land '' , the last of which would be the album 's second single . The experimentation evident on Somewhere in Time continued on their next album , entitled Seventh Son of a Seventh Son , which was released in 1988 . A concept album , based on the 1987 novel Seventh Son by Orson Scott Card , this would be the band 's first record to include keyboards , performed by Harris and Smith , as opposed to guitar synthesisers on the previous release . After his contributions were not used for Somewhere in Time , Dickinson 's enthusiasm was renewed as his ideas were accepted for this album . Another popular release , it became Iron Maiden 's second album to hit No. 1 in the UK charts , although it only achieved a Gold certification in the US , in contrast to its four predecessors . During the following tour , the band headlined the Monsters of Rock festival at Donington Park for the first time on 20 August 1988 , playing to the largest crowd in the festival 's history ( 107,000 ) . Also included on the bill were Kiss , David Lee Roth , Megadeth , Guns N ' Roses and Helloween . The festival was marred , however , by the deaths of two fans in a crowd - surge during the aforementioned Guns N ' Roses performance ; the following year 's festival was cancelled as a result . The tour concluded with several headline shows in the UK in November and December 1988 , with the concerts at the NEC Arena , Birmingham recorded for a live video , entitled Maiden England . Throughout the tour , Harris ' bass technician , Michael Kenney , provided live keyboards . Kenney has acted as the band 's live keyboard player ever since , also performing on the band 's four following albums before Harris took over as the group 's sole studio keyboardist from 2000 's Brave New World . Upheaval ( 1989 -- 1994 ) ( edit ) Main articles : No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark ( Iron Maiden album ) During another break in 1989 , guitarist Adrian Smith released a solo album with his band ASAP , entitled Silver and Gold , and vocalist Bruce Dickinson began work on a solo album with former Gillan guitarist Janick Gers , releasing Tattooed Millionaire in 1990 , followed by a tour . At the same time , to mark the band 's ten - year recording anniversary , Iron Maiden released The First Ten Years , a series of ten CDs and double 12 - inch singles . Between 24 February and 28 April 1990 , the individual parts were released one - by - one , each containing two of Iron Maiden 's singles , including the original B - sides . Soon afterwards , Iron Maiden regrouped to work on a new studio record . During the pre-production stages , Adrian Smith left the band due to differences with Steve Harris regarding the direction the band should be taking , disagreeing with the `` stripped down '' style that they were leaning towards . Janick Gers , having worked on Dickinson 's solo project , was chosen to replace Smith and became the band 's first new member in seven years . The album , No Prayer for the Dying , was released in October 1990 and contained `` Bring Your Daughter ... to the Slaughter '' , the band 's first ( and to date , only ) UK Singles Chart No. 1 , originally recorded by Dickinson 's solo outfit for the soundtrack to A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 : The Dream Child . After another tour and some more time off , the band recorded their next studio release , Fear of the Dark , which was released in 1992 and included the stand - out title track , which is now a regular fixture in the band 's concert setlists . Achieving their third No. 1 in the UK albums chart , the disc also featured the No. 2 single `` Be Quick or Be Dead '' and the No. 21 single `` From Here to Eternity '' . The album featured the first songwriting by Gers , and no collaboration at all between Harris and Dickinson on songs . The extensive worldwide tour that followed included their first ever Latin American leg ( after a single concert during the World Slavery Tour ) , and headlining the Monsters of Rock festivals in seven European countries . Iron Maiden 's second performance at Donington Park , to an audience of 68,500 ( the attendance was capped after the incident in 1988 ) , was filmed for the audio and video release , Live at Donington , and featured a guest appearance by Adrian Smith , who joined the band to perform `` Running Free '' . In 1993 , Bruce Dickinson left the band to further pursue his solo career , but agreed to remain for a farewell tour and two live albums ( later re-released in one package ) . The first , A Real Live One , featured songs from 1986 to 1992 , and was released in March 1993 . The second , A Real Dead One , featured songs from 1980 to 1984 , and was released after Dickinson had left the band . The tour did not go well , however , with Steve Harris claiming that Dickinson would only perform properly for high - profile shows and that at several concerts he would only mumble into the microphone . Dickinson denies the charge that he was under - performing , stating that it was impossible to `` make like Mr Happy Face if the vibe was n't right '' , saying that news of his exit from the band had prevented any chance of a good atmosphere during the tour . He played his farewell show with Iron Maiden on 28 August 1993 , which was filmed , broadcast by the BBC and released on video under the name Raising Hell . Blaze Bayley era , the X Factor and Virtual XI ( 1994 -- 1999 ) ( edit ) Main articles : The X Factor ( album ) and Virtual XI In 1994 , the band listened to hundreds of tapes sent in by vocalists before convincing Blaze Bayley , formerly of the band Wolfsbane who had supported Iron Maiden in 1990 , to audition for them . Harris ' preferred choice from the outset , Bayley had a different vocal style from his predecessor , which ultimately received a mixed reception among fans . After a two - year hiatus ( as well as a three - year hiatus from studio releases -- a record for the band at the time ) Iron Maiden returned in 1995 . Releasing The X Factor , the band had their lowest chart position since 1981 for an album in the UK ( debuting at No. 8 ) , although it would go on to win Album of the Year awards in France and Germany . The record included the 11 - minute epic `` Sign of the Cross '' , the band 's longest song since `` Rime of the Ancient Mariner '' , as well as the singles , `` Man on the Edge '' , based on the film Falling Down , and `` Lord of the Flies '' , based on the novel of the same name . The release is notable for its `` dark '' tone , inspired by Steve Harris ' divorce . The band toured for the rest of 1995 and 1996 , playing for the first time in Israel and South Africa , before stopping to release Best of the Beast . The band 's first compilation , it included a new single , `` Virus '' , whose lyrics attack the critics who had recently written off the band . Iron Maiden returned to the studio to record Virtual XI , released in 1998 . The album 's chart scores were the band 's lowest to date , including the UK where it peaked at No. 16 failing to score one million worldwide sales for the first time in Iron Maiden 's history . At the same time , Steve Harris assisted in remastering the band 's entire discography , up to and including Live at Donington ( which was given a mainstream release for the first time ) . Bayley 's tenure in Iron Maiden ended in January 1999 when he was asked to leave during a band meeting . The dismissal took place due to issues Bayley had experienced with his voice during the Virtual XI World Tour , although Janick Gers has since stated that this was partly the band 's fault for forcing him to perform songs which were beyond his natural register . Return of Dickinson and Smith , Brave new World ( 1999 -- 2002 ) ( edit ) Main articles : Ed Hunter and Brave New World ( Iron Maiden album ) Adrian Smith ( left ) re-joined Iron Maiden in 1999 , resulting in a three guitar line - up . While the group were considering a replacement for Bayley , Rod Smallwood convinced Steve Harris to invite Bruce Dickinson back into the band . Although Harris admits that he `` was n't really into it '' at first , he then thought , `` ' Well , if the change happens , who should we get ? ' The thing is , we know Bruce and we know what he 's capable of , and you think , ' Well , better the devil you know . ' I mean , we got on well professionally for , like , eleven years , and so ... after I thought about it , I did n't really have a problem with it . '' The band entered into talks with Dickinson , who agreed to rejoin during a meeting in Brighton in January 1999 , along with guitarist Adrian Smith , who was telephoned a few hours later . With Gers , Smith 's replacement , remaining , Iron Maiden now had a three - guitar line - up and embarked on a hugely successful reunion tour . Dubbed The Ed Hunter Tour , it tied in with the band 's newly released greatest hits collection , Ed Hunter , whose track listing was decided by a poll on the group 's website , and also contained a computer game of the same name starring the band 's mascot . One of Dickinson 's primary concerns on rejoining the group `` was whether we would in fact be making a real state - of - the - art record and not just a comeback album , '' which eventually took the form of 2000 's Brave New World . Having disliked the results from Harris ' personal studio , Barnyard Studios located on his property in Essex , which had been used for the last four Iron Maiden studio albums , the band recorded the new release at Guillaume Tell Studios , Paris in November 1999 with producer Kevin Shirley . Thematic influences continued with `` The Wicker Man '' -- based on the 1973 British cult film of the same name -- and `` Brave New World '' -- title taken from the Aldous Huxley novel of the same name . The album furthered the more progressive and melodic sound present in some earlier recordings , with elaborate song structures and keyboard orchestration . The world tour that followed consisted of well over 100 dates and culminated on 19 January 2001 in a show at the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil , where Iron Maiden played to an audience of around 250,000 . While the performance was being produced for a CD and DVD release in March 2002 , under the name Rock in Rio , the band took a year out from touring , during which they played three consecutive shows at Brixton Academy in aid of former drummer Clive Burr , who had recently announced that he had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis . The band performed two further concerts for Burr 's MS Trust Fund charity in 2005 , and 2007 , before his death in 2013 . Dance of Death and a Matter of Life and Death ( 2003 -- 2007 ) ( edit ) Main articles : Dance of Death ( album ) and A Matter of Life and Death ( album ) Following their Give Me Ed ... ' Til I 'm Dead Tour in the summer of 2003 , Iron Maiden released Dance of Death , their thirteenth studio album , which was met by worldwide critical and commercial success . Produced by Kevin Shirley , now the band 's regular producer , many critics also felt that this release matched up to their earlier efforts , such as Killers , Piece of Mind and The Number of the Beast . As usual , historical and literary references were present , with `` Montségur '' in particular being about the Cathar stronghold conquered in 1244 , and `` Paschendale '' relating to the significant battle which took place during The First World War . During the following tour , the band 's performance at Westfalenhalle , in Dortmund , Germany , was recorded and released in August 2005 as a live album and DVD , entitled Death on the Road . In 2005 , the band announced the Eddie Rips Up the World Tour which , tying in with their 2004 DVD entitled The History of Iron Maiden -- Part 1 : The Early Days , only featured material from their first four albums . As part of this celebration of their earlier years , `` The Number of the Beast '' single was re-released and went straight to No. 3 in the UK Chart . The tour included many headlining stadium and festival dates , including a performance at Ullevi Stadium in Sweden to an audience of almost 60,000 . This concert was also broadcast live on satellite television all over Europe to approximately 60 million viewers . Following this run of European shows , the band co-headlined the US festival tour , Ozzfest , with Black Sabbath , their final performance at which earned international press coverage after their show was sabotaged by singer Ozzy Osbourne 's family , who took offence to Dickinson 's remarks against reality - TV . The band completed the tour by headlining the Reading and Leeds Festivals on the 26 -- 28 August , and the RDS Stadium in Ireland on 31 August . For the second time , the band played a charity show for The Clive Burr MS Trust Fund , this time taking place at the Hammersmith Apollo . The same year , the band were inducted into the Hollywood RockWalk in Sunset Boulevard , Los Angeles . Vocalist Bruce Dickinson during A Matter of Life and Death World Tour . Throughout the tour 's first leg , the band played the A Matter of Life and Death album in its entirety . At the end of 2005 , Iron Maiden began work on A Matter of Life and Death , their fourteenth studio effort , released in autumn 2006 . While not a concept album , war and religion are recurring themes in the lyrics , as well as in the cover artwork . The release was a critical and commercial success , earning the band their first top ten in the Billboard 200 and receiving the Album of the Year award at the 2006 Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards . A supporting tour followed , during which they played the album in its entirety ; response to this was mixed . The second part of the `` A Matter of Life and Death '' tour , which took place in 2007 , was dubbed `` A Matter of the Beast '' to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Number of the Beast album , and included appearances at several major festivals worldwide . The tour opened in the Middle East with the band 's first performance in Dubai at the Dubai Desert Rock Festival , after which they played to over 30,000 people at the Bangalore Palace Grounds , marking the first concert by any major heavy metal band in the Indian sub-continent . The band went on to play a string of European dates , including an appearance at Download Festival , their fourth headline performance at Donington Park , to approximately 80,000 people . On 24 June they ended the tour with a performance at London 's Brixton Academy in aid of The Clive Burr MS Trust fund . Somewhere Back in time World tour and Flight 666 ( 2007 -- 2009 ) ( edit ) Main articles : Somewhere Back in Time World Tour and Iron Maiden : Flight 666 On 5 September 2007 , the band announced their Somewhere Back in Time World Tour , which tied in with the DVD release of their Live After Death album . The setlist for the tour consisted of successes from the 1980s , with a specific emphasis on the Powerslave era for set design . The first part of the tour , commencing in Mumbai , India on 1 February 2008 , consisted of 24 concerts in 21 cities , travelling nearly 50,000 miles in the band 's own chartered aeroplane , named `` Ed Force One '' . They played their first ever concerts in Costa Rica and Colombia and their first shows in Australia and Puerto Rico since 1992 . Iron Maiden performing in Toronto during the Somewhere Back in Time World Tour 2008 . The stage set largely emulated that of the World Slavery Tour 1984 -- 85 . The tour led to the release of a new compilation album , entitled Somewhere Back in Time , which included a selection of tracks from their 1980 eponymous debut to 1988 's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son , as well as several live versions from Live After Death . The Somewhere Back in Time World Tour continued with two further legs in the US and Europe in the summer of 2008 , during which the band used a more expansive stage - set , including further elements of the original Live After Death show . With the sole UK concert taking place at Twickenham Stadium , this would be the first time the band would headline a stadium in their own country . The three 2008 legs of the tour were remarkably successful ; it was the second highest grossing tour of the year for a British artist . The last part of the tour took place in February and March 2009 , with the band , once again , using `` Ed Force One '' . The final leg included the band 's first ever appearances in Peru and Ecuador , as well as their return to Venezuela and New Zealand after 17 years . The band also played another show in India ( their third in the country within a span of 2 years ) at the Rock in India festival to a crowd of 20,000 . At their concert in São Paulo on 15 March , Dickinson announced on stage that it was the largest non-festival show of their career , with an overall attendance of 63,000 people . The final leg ended in Florida on 2 April after which the band took a break . Overall , the tour reportedly had an attendance of over two million people worldwide over both years . At the 2009 BRIT Awards , Iron Maiden won the award for best British live act . Voted for by the public , the band reportedly won by a landslide . On 20 January 2009 , the band announced that they were to release a full - length documentary film in select cinemas on 21 April 2009 . Entitled Iron Maiden : Flight 666 , it was filmed during the first part of the Somewhere Back in Time World Tour between February and March 2008 . Flight 666 was co-produced by Banger Productions and was distributed in cinemas by Arts Alliance Media and EMI , with D&E Entertainment sub-distributing in the US . The film went on to have a Blu - ray , DVD and CD release in May and June , topping the music DVD charts in 22 countries . The Final Frontier and Maiden England World tour ( 2010 -- 2014 ) ( edit ) Main articles : The Final Frontier , The Final Frontier World Tour , En Vivo ! ( Iron Maiden album ) , and Maiden England World Tour Following announcements that the band had begun composition of new material and booked studio time in early 2010 with Kevin Shirley producing , The Final Frontier was announced on 4 March . The album , the band 's fifteenth , was released on 16 August , garnering critical acclaim and the band 's greatest commercial success in their history , reaching No. 1 in twenty - eight countries worldwide . Although Steve Harris had been quoted in the past as claiming that the band would only produce fifteen studio releases , band members have since confirmed that there will be at least one further record . The album 's supporting tour saw the band perform 98 shows across the globe to an estimated audience of over 2 million , including their first visits to Singapore , Indonesia and South Korea , before concluding in London on 6 August 2011 . As the tour 's 2010 leg preceded The Final Frontier 's release , the band made `` El Dorado '' available as a free download on 8 June , which would go on to win the award for Best Metal Performance at the 2011 Grammy Awards on 13 February 2011 . It is the band 's first win following two previous Grammy nominations ( `` Fear of the Dark '' in 1994 and `` The Wicker Man '' in 2001 ) . On 15 March , a new compilation to accompany 2009 's Somewhere Back in Time was announced . Entitled From Fear to Eternity , the original release date was set at 23 May but was later pushed back to 6 June . The double disc set covers the period 1990 -- 2010 ( the band 's most recent eight studio albums ) , and , as on Somewhere Back in Time , live versions with Bruce Dickinson were included in place of original recordings which featured other vocalists , in this case Blaze Bayley . In a press release regarding From Fear to Eternity , band manager Rod Smallwood revealed that Iron Maiden will release a new concert video to DVD in 2011 , filmed in Santiago , Chile and Buenos Aires , Argentina during The Final Frontier World Tour . On 17 January 2012 , the band announced that the new release , entitled En Vivo ! , based on footage from the Chile concert , will be made available worldwide on CD , LP , DVD and Blu - ray on 26 March , except the United States and Canada ( where it was released on 27 March ) . In addition to the concert footage , the video release includes an 88 - minute tour documentary , entitled Behind The Beast , containing interviews with the band and their crew . In December 2012 , one song from the release ( `` Blood Brothers '' ) was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock / Metal Performance at the 2013 Grammy Awards . On 15 February 2012 , the band announced the Maiden England World Tour 2012 -- 14 , which was based around the video of the same name . The tour commenced in North America in the summer of 2012 and was followed by further dates in 2013 and 2014 , which included the band 's record - breaking fifth headline performance at Donington Park , their first show at the newly built national stadium in Stockholm , a return to the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil , and their debut appearance in Paraguay . In August 2012 , Steve Harris stated that the Maiden England video would be re-issued in 2013 , with a release date later set for 25 March 2013 in DVD , CD and LP formats under the title Maiden England ' 88 . On 11 November 2011 , Universal Music Group agreed to acqure Iron Maiden 's longtime label EMI for £ 1.2 billion . Universal completed the deal in September 2012 , but was required to divest certain record labels to other parties . On 7 February 2013 , Iron Maiden 's catalogue was transferred to EMI 's Parlophone , which Warner Music Group acquired for £ 487 million . One week later , Universal sold Sanctuary Records ( Iron Maiden 's label in the United States ) to BMG Rights Management for £ 40 million . The Book of Souls and Legacy of the Beast ( 2015 -- present ) ( edit ) Main articles : The Book of Souls , The Book of Souls World Tour , and Legacy of the Beast World Tour Following confirmation from the group that 2010 's The Final Frontier would not be their last album , Bruce Dickinson revealed plans for a sixteenth studio record in July 2013 , with a potential release date in 2015 . In February 2015 , drummer Nicko McBrain revealed that a new album had been completed , although the release has been put on hold while Dickinson recovers from treatment for a cancerous tumour found on his tongue . On 15 May , after Dickinson had been given the all - clear , manager Rod Smallwood confirmed that the album would be released in 2015 , although the band will not tour until 2016 to allow Dickinson to recuperate . On 18 June 2015 , the band 's website announced its title , The Book of Souls , and confirmed a release date of 4 September 2015 . A critical and commercial success , it received positive reviews and became the band 's fifth UK No. 1 album . Smith , Harris , Murray and Gers performing in 2017 . The new record was recorded at Guillaume Tell Studios , Paris , which they had previously used for 2000 's Brave New World , with regular producer Kevin Shirley in late summer 2014 . With a total time of 92 minutes , it is the group 's first double studio album . In addition , the release 's closing song , `` Empire of the Clouds '' , penned by Dickinson , surpassed `` Rime of the Ancient Mariner '' ( from 1984 's Powerslave ) as Iron Maiden 's longest song , at 18 minutes in length . A music video for the song `` Speed of Light '' was issued on 14 August . In February 2016 , the band embarked on The Book of Souls World Tour , which saw them play concerts in 35 countries in North and South America , Asia , Australasia , Africa and Europe , including their first ever performances in China , El Salvador and Lithuania . As with 2008 - 09 's Somewhere Back in Time World Tour and 2010 - 11 's The Final Frontier World Tour , the group travelled in a customised aeroplane , flown by Dickinson and nicknamed `` Ed Force One '' , although this time they used a Boeing 747 - 400 jumbo jet . The band completed the tour in 2017 with further European and North American shows . On 20 September 2017 , The Book of Souls : Live Chapter was announced . Recorded throughout The Book of Souls World Tour , it was released on 17 November 2017 . In the summer of 2016 , the group launched a mobile game , Iron Maiden : Legacy of the Beast . Inspired by the game 's title , the band will undertake the Legacy of the Beast World Tour from 2018 to 2019 , commencing with European shows in 2018 . Image and Legacy ( edit ) Iron Maiden were ranked No. 24 in VH1 's `` 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock '' , No. 4 in MTV 's `` Top 10 Greatest Heavy Metal Bands of All Time '' and No. 3 in VH1 Classic 's `` Top 20 Metal Bands '' . The band also won the Ivor Novello Award for international achievement in 2002 and were inducted into the Hollywood RockWalk whilst touring in the US in 2005 . Iron Maiden frequently use the slogan `` Up the Irons '' in their disc liner notes , and the phrase can also be seen on several T - shirts officially licensed by the band . It is a paraphrase of `` Up the Hammers '' , the phrase which refers to the London football club , West Ham United , of which founder Steve Harris is a fan . Iron Maiden 's mascot , Eddie , is a perennial fixture in the band 's science fiction and horror - influenced album cover art , as well as in live shows . Originally a papier - mâché mask incorporated in their backdrop which would squirt fake blood during their live shows , the name would be transferred to the character featured in the band 's debut album cover , created by Derek Riggs . Eddie was painted exclusively by Riggs until 1992 , at which point the band began using artwork from numerous other artists as well , including Melvyn Grant . Eddie is also featured in the band 's first - person shooter video game , Ed Hunter , as well as their mobile role - playing game , Iron Maiden : Legacy of the Beast , in addition to numerous T - shirts , posters and other band - related merchandise . In 2008 , he was awarded the `` Icon Award '' at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods , while Gibson.com describes him as `` the most recognisable metal icon in the world and one of the most versatile too '' . Iron Maiden 's distinct logo has adorned all of the band 's releases since their debut , 1979 's The Soundhouse Tapes EP . The typeface originates with Vic Fair 's poster design for the 1976 science fiction film , The Man Who Fell to Earth , also used by Gordon Giltrap , although Steve Harris claims that he designed it himself , using his abilities as an architectural draughtsman . Influence on other artists ( edit ) According to Guitar World , Iron Maiden 's music has `` influenced generations of newer metal acts , from legends like Metallica to current stars like Avenged Sevenfold , '' with Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich commenting that he has `` always had an incredible amount of respect and admiration for them . '' Kerry King of Slayer has stated that `` they meant so much to ( him ) in their early days '' and Scott Ian of Anthrax said that `` they had a major impact on ( his ) life . '' M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold states that Iron Maiden `` are by far the best live band in the world and their music is timeless '' , while Trivium singer Matt Heafy comments that `` without Iron Maiden , Trivium surely would n't exist '' . Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor says that `` Steve Harris does more with four fingers than I 've ever seen anybody do . And Bruce Dickinson ? Dude ! To me , he was the quintessential old - school heavy metal singer . He could hit notes that were just sick , and he was a great showman . Everything made me a fan . And there was n't a dude that I hung out with that was n't trying to draw Eddie on their schoolbooks '' , while their music also helped Jesper Strömblad of In Flames to pioneer the melodic death metal genre , stating that he had wanted to combine death metal with Iron Maiden 's melodic guitar sounds . Other heavy metal artists who cite the band as an influence include Chris Jericho , lead singer of Fozzy , Cam Pipes , lead vocalist of 3 Inches of Blood , Vitaly Dubinin , bassist of Aria , and Mikael Åkerfeldt , guitarist and lead vocalist of Opeth . Both current and former Dream Theater members John Petrucci , John Myung and Mike Portnoy have stated that Iron Maiden were one of their biggest influences when their band first formed . Appearance in media ( edit ) The band 's name has been mentioned prominently in several songs , such as the singles `` Teenage Dirtbag '' by Wheatus , `` Back to the 80 's '' by Danish dance - pop band Aqua. and `` Fat Lip '' by Sum 41 . Iron Maiden have also been referenced in Weezer 's `` Heart Songs '' ( from their 2008 self - titled `` Red '' album ) , Blues Traveler 's `` Psycho Joe '' ( from 1997 's Straight on till Morning ) , and NOFX 's `` Eddie , Bruce and Paul '' ( from their 2009 album Coaster ) , which Sputnikmusic describes as `` a humorous retelling of Paul DiAnno 's departure '' . In 2008 , Kerrang ! released an album , entitled Maiden Heaven : A Tribute to Iron Maiden , composed of Iron Maiden cover songs played by artists such as Metallica , Machine Head , Dream Theater , Trivium , Coheed and Cambria , Avenged Sevenfold , and others who were influenced by Iron Maiden throughout their careers . In 2010 , Maiden uniteD , an acoustic tribute band consisting of members of Ayreon , Threshold and Within Temptation , released Mind the Acoustic Pieces , a re-interpretation of the entire Piece of Mind album . Many other Iron Maiden cover albums exist ( each featuring various artists ) , including piano , electro , string quartet and hip - hop tributes . Iron Maiden songs have been featured in the soundtracks of several video games , including Carmageddon 2 , Grand Theft Auto : Vice City , Grand Theft Auto : Episodes from Liberty City , Grand Theft Auto IV : The Lost and Damned , Tony Hawk 's Pro Skater 4 , SSX on Tour and Madden NFL 10 . Their music also appears in the Guitar Hero and Rock Band series of rhythmic video games . Iron Maiden songs have also appeared in films , such as Phenomena ( entitled Creepers in the US ) , and Murder by Numbers ; while MTV 's animated duo Beavis and Butt - head have commented favourably on the band several times . Transformers author Bill Forster is an avowed Iron Maiden fan and made several Iron Maiden references , including song lyrics and the phrase `` Up the Irons '' in his books , including The Ark series and The AllSpark Almanac series . Claims of Satanic references ( edit ) In 1982 , the band released one of their most popular , controversial and acclaimed albums , The Number of the Beast . The artwork and title track led to Christian groups in the United States branding the band as Satanists , encouraging people to destroy copies of the release . The band 's manager , Rod Smallwood , later commented that Christians initially burnt the records , but later decided to destroy them with hammers through fear of breathing in the melting vinyl 's fumes . The protests were not restricted to the US , with Christian organisations preventing Iron Maiden from performing in Chile in 1992 . Contrary to the accusations , the band have always denied the notion that they are Satanists , with lead vocalist , Bruce Dickinson , doing so on - stage in the Live After Death concert video . Steve Harris has since commented that , `` It was mad . They completely got the wrong end of the stick . They obviously had n't read the lyrics . They just wanted to believe all that rubbish about us being Satanists . '' Harris has also stated that `` The Number of the Beast '' song was inspired by a nightmare he had after watching Damien : Omen II , and also influenced by Robert Burns ' Tam o ' Shanter . Furthermore , the band 's drummer , Nicko McBrain , has been a born again Christian since 1999 . Ed Force one ( edit ) Iron Maiden 's Boeing 747 - 400 , Ed Force One , as used during The Book of Souls World Tour in 2016 . For their Somewhere Back in Time World Tour in 2008 and 2009 , Iron Maiden commissioned an Astraeus Airlines Boeing 757 as transport . The aeroplane was converted into a combi configuration , which enabled it to carry the band , their crew and stage production , thereby allowing the group to perform in countries which were previously deemed unreachable logistically . It was also repainted with a special Iron Maiden livery , which the airline decided to retain after receiving positive feedback from customers . The aircraft , named `` Ed Force One '' after a competition on the band 's website , was flown by Dickinson , as he was also a commercial airline pilot for Astraeus , and plays a major role in the award - winning documentary , Iron Maiden : Flight 666 , which was released in cinemas in 42 countries in April 2009 . A different aeroplane ( registered G - STRX ) was used for The Final Frontier World Tour in 2011 with altered livery , adopting the artwork of The Final Frontier album , and features heavily in the 2012 documentary `` Behind the Beast '' . For The Book of Souls World Tour in 2016 , the band upgraded to an ex-Air France Boeing 747 - 400 jumbo jet , supplied by Air Atlanta Icelandic ( registered TF - AAK ) and customised by Volga - Dnepr Gulf , which allows for more space without the aircraft having to undergo a significant conversion to carry their equipment . Musical style and influences ( edit ) `` Run to the Hills '' ( 1982 ) `` Run to the Hills '' ( The Number of the Beast ) demonstrates the band 's trademark `` gallop '' riff style . `` Caught Somewhere in Time '' ( 1986 ) `` Caught Somewhere in Time '' ( Somewhere in Time ) . The band 's use of harmonised guitars and usage of `` gallop '' rhythm remains unchanged as synthesisers are added . `` Brave New World '' ( 2000 ) `` Brave New World '' ( Brave New World ) demonstrates the band 's increased use of progressive elements in the latter half of their career . Problems playing these files ? See media help . Steve Harris , Iron Maiden 's bassist and primary songwriter , has stated that his influences include Black Sabbath , Deep Purple , Led Zeppelin , Uriah Heep , Pink Floyd , Genesis , Yes , Jethro Tull , Thin Lizzy , UFO and Wishbone Ash . In 2010 Harris stated , `` I think if anyone wants to understand Maiden 's early thing , in particular the harmony guitars , all they have to do is listen to Wishbone Ash 's Argus album . Thin Lizzy too , but not as much . And then we wanted to have a bit of a prog thing thrown in as well , because I was really into bands like Genesis and Jethro Tull . So you combine all that with the heavy riffs and the speed , and you 've got it . '' In 2004 , Harris explained that the band 's `` heaviness '' was inspired by `` Black Sabbath and Deep Purple with a bit of Zeppelin thrown in . '' On top of this , Harris developed his own playing style , which guitarist Janick Gers describes as `` more like a rhythm guitar , '' cited as responsible for the band 's galloping style , heard in such songs as `` The Trooper '' and `` Run to the Hills . '' The band 's guitarists , Dave Murray , Adrian Smith and Janick Gers , each have their own individual influences and playing style . Dave Murray is known for his legato technique which , he claims , `` evolved naturally . I 'd heard Jimi Hendrix using legato when I was growing up , and I liked that style of playing . '' Stating that he `` was inspired by blues rock rather than metal , '' Adrian Smith was influenced by Johnny Winter and Pat Travers , leading to him becoming a `` melodic player . '' Janick Gers , on the other hand , prefers a more improvised style , largely inspired by Ritchie Blackmore , which he claims is in contrast to Smith 's `` rhythmic '' sound . Singer Bruce Dickinson , who typically works in collaboration with guitarist Adrian Smith , has an operatic vocal style , inspired by Arthur Brown , Peter Hammill , Ian Anderson and Ian Gillan , and is often considered to be one of the best heavy metal vocalists of all time . Although Nicko McBrain has only received one writing credit , on the Dance of Death album , Harris often relies on him while developing songs . Adrian Smith commented , `` Steve loves playing with him . ( They ) used to work for hours going over these bass and drum patterns . '' Throughout their career , the band 's style has remained largely unchanged , in spite of the addition of guitar synthesisers on 1986 's Somewhere in Time , keyboards on 1988 's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son , and an attempt to return to the `` stripped down '' production of their earlier material on 1990 's No Prayer for the Dying . In recent years , however , the band have begun using more progressive elements in their songs , which Steve Harris describes as not progressive `` in the modern sense , but like Dream Theater , more in a 70s way '' . According to Harris , Seventh Son of a Seventh Son was the band 's first album which was `` more progressive '' , while they would only return to this style from 1995 's The X Factor , which he states is `` like an extension of Seventh Son ... , in the sense of the progressive element to it '' . The development contrasts with the band 's raw sounding earlier material , which AllMusic states was `` clearly drawing from elements of punk rock '' , although Harris firmly denies this .

The bike itself has been modeled after a fire truck , and an actual steel rivet from the World Trade Center has been integrated into the bike itself , mounted atop the bike 's gas tank . Paul Jr. stated that the bike was named `` 343 '' , the number of New York firefighters who gave their lives on 9 / 11 . The popularity of American Chopper led the United States Air Force to commission a $150,000 `` Air Force Bike '' , first put on public display in March 2005 . The motorcycle is ten feet long and is modeled after the F - 22 Raptor , complete with Air Force symbol rims , riveted gas tank , Raptor exhausts and rear view mirrors in the shape of jets .

The CD also includes original music from The OCC Band , which features four of the shop 's employees . Black Label Society performed a concert in the retail store to promote their album Order of the Black . Orange County Choppers MotoCoaster ( edit ) The MotoCoaster is a Zamperla built motorbike themed roller coaster installed at Darien Lake theme park in Darien Lake , NY . It was the first motorbike roller coaster to be installed in the United States , though the Pony Express , a similar model of coaster with horse themed trains , was erected Knott 's Berry Farm . The MotoCoaster is the same model as the prototype located outside Zamperla 's factory in Italy . The MotoCoaster opened in May 2008 with Orange County Choppers securing the naming rights . The MotoCoaster is located near the Darien Square area of the park , between Boomerang and Twister . Orange County Choppers built a custom motorcycle inspired by the ride and the park . The coaster was originally named the Orange County Choppers Motocoaster when it first opened in 2008 . However , the name was changed to the MotoCoaster in 2010 after the naming rights with OCC expired . Popular meme ( edit ) A popular internet meme , started in 2011 and based on the show , became widely popular on social media in early 2018 . The meme consists of five panels depicting a dispute between Paul Sr. and his son Paul Jr . In the original scene , Paul Sr. shouts at Paul Jr. for being late to work and Paul Jr. shouts back , throws a chair , and then eventually storms away . In the meme , users enter the dialogue of the five panels to create a dispute over any issue .

My Girl (The Temptations song)

My Girl ( the Temptations song ) - wikipedia My Girl ( the Temptations song ) This article is about the Temptations song . For the Chilliwack song , see My Girl ( Gone , Gone , Gone ) .

( February 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) `` My Girl '' U.S. single picture sleeve Single by The Temptations B - side `` ( Talking ' Bout ) Nobody But My Baby '' Released December 21 , 1964 ( 1964 - 12 - 21 ) Format 7 - inch single Recorded September 25 , November 10 & 17 , 1964 Studio Hitsville USA ( Studio A ) , Detroit , Michigan Genre Soul R&B Length 2 : 55 Label Gordy Songwriter ( s ) Smokey Robinson Ronald White Producer ( s ) Smokey Robinson Ronald White The Temptations singles chronology `` Girl ( Why You Wanna Make Me Blue ) '' ( 1964 ) `` My Girl '' ( 1964 ) `` It 's Growing '' ( 1965 ) `` My Girl '' is a soul music song recorded by the Temptations for the Gordy ( Motown ) record label . Written and produced by the Miracles members Smokey Robinson and Ronald White , the song became the Temptations ' first U.S. number - one single , and is today their signature song . Robinson 's inspiration for writing this song was his wife , Miracles member Claudette Rogers Robinson . The song was included on the Temptations 1965 album The Temptations Sing Smokey . In 2018 , it was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally , historically , or artistically significant . '' Contents 1 Recording and release 2 Reception 3 Personnel 4 Chart history 4.1 Weekly charts 4.2 Year - end charts 5 Other renditions 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Recording and release ( edit ) The recorded version of `` My Girl '' was the first Temptations single to feature David Ruffin on lead vocals . Previously , Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams had performed most of the group 's lead vocals , and Ruffin had joined the group as a replacement for former Temptation Elbridge Bryant . While on tour as part of the Motortown Revue , a collective tour for most of the Motown roster , Smokey Robinson caught the Temptations ' part of the show . The group had included a medley of soul standards in the show , one of which , the Drifters ' `` Under the Boardwalk '' , was a solo spot for Ruffin . Impressed , Robinson decided to produce a single with Ruffin singing lead . Robinson saw Ruffin as a `` sleeping giant '' in the group with a unique voice that was `` mellow '' yet `` gruff '' . Robinson thought that if he could write just the perfect song for Ruffin 's voice , then he could have a smash hit . The song was to be something that Ruffin could `` belt out '' yet something that was also `` melodic and sweet '' . After some persuasion from Ruffin 's bandmates , Robinson had the Temptations record `` My Girl '' instead of the Miracles , who were originally to record the song , and recruited Ruffin to sing the lead vocals . According to Robinson , he allowed the group to create their own background vocals `` because they were so great at background vocals '' . The signature guitar riff heard during the introduction and under the verses was played by Robert White of the Funk Brothers . This part can be heard without vocals on the 2004 deluxe edition of the soundtrack from the 2002 documentary Standing in the Shadows of Motown . `` My Girl '' was later sampled for `` Stay , '' a single from the Temptations ' 1998 album Phoenix Rising . The single was re-released in 1992 , following the November 1991 release of the film of the same name , which featured the song . It did not reach the Billboard charts , but did reach number two in the UK Singles Chart . Reception ( edit ) `` My Girl '' climbed to the top of the U.S. pop charts after its Christmas time 1964 release , making it the Temptations ' first number - one hit . The single was also the first number - one hit on the reinstated Billboard R&B Singles chart , which had gone on a fifteen - month hiatus from 1963 to 1965 . The single also gave the Gordy label its first number one on the Hot 100 . The Temptations were the first Motown act to earn a Grammy . In 2004 , `` My Girl '' was ranked number 88 on Rolling Stone 's list of `` The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time '' .

Produced by Steve Cropper , it was released on Redding 's album Otis Blue : Otis Redding Sings Soul . His version was not released as a single in the US , but Atlantic issued it in the UK to capitalize on the relative lack of success by the Temptations ' original version , and Redding 's cover eventually peaked at number 11 . In 1988 , Suave had a Top 40 Pop hit and Top 10 R&B hit with the song . R&B / soul group the Whispers covered the song in a disco style for their eponymous 1979 album .

1924 Winter Olympics

1924 Winter Olympics - wikipedia 1924 Winter Olympics Jump to : navigation , search This article includes a list of references , but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations . Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations . ( January 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) I Olympic Winter Games Poster for the 1924 Winter Olympic Games Host city Chamonix , France Nations participating 16 Athletes participating 258 Events 16 in 6 sports ( 9 disciplines ) Opening ceremony January 25 Closing ceremony February 5 Officially opened by Gaston Vidal Athlete 's Oath Camille Mandrillon Stadium Stade Olympique Winter St Moritz 1928 > Summer < Antwerp 1920 Paris 1924 > The 1924 Winter Olympics , officially known as the I Olympic Winter Games ( French : Les Iers Jeux olympiques d'hiver ) , were a winter multi-sport event which was held in 1924 in Chamonix , France . Originally called Semaine Internationale des Sports d'Hiver ( `` International Winter Sports Week '' ) and held in association with the 1924 Summer Olympics , the sports competitions were held at the foot of Mont Blanc in Chamonix , and Haute - Savoie , France between January 25 and February 5 , 1924 . The Games were organized by the French Olympic Committee , and were in retrospect designated by the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) as the I Olympic Winter Games . The tradition of holding the Winter Olympics in the same year as the Summer Olympics would continue until 1992 , after which the current practice of holding a Winter Olympics in the second year after each Summer Olympics began . Although Figure Skating had been an Olympic event in both London and Antwerp , and Ice Hockey had been an event in Antwerp , the winter sports had always been limited by the season . In 1921 , at the convention of the IOC in Lausanne , there was a call for equality for winter sports , and after much discussion it was decided to organize an `` international week of winter sport '' in 1924 in Chamonix . Contents ( hide ) 1 Highlights 1.1 Day 2 1.2 Day 4 1.3 Day 6 1.4 Day 8 1.5 Day 10 1.6 Epilogue 2 Events 3 Venues 4 Participating nations 4.1 Number of athletes by National Olympic Committees 5 Medal count 6 See also 7 Notes 8 References 9 External links Highlights ( edit ) Day 2 ( edit ) The first gold medal awarded in the Olympic Winter games was won by Charles Jewtraw of the United States in the 500 - meter speed skate . Day 4 ( edit ) Sonja Henie , at just eleven years old , skates in the ladies ' figure skating competition . Although she finishes last , she becomes popular with fans , and will take the gold at the next three Winter Olympics . Day 6 ( edit ) Finding himself in a unique situation , the figure skater Gillis Grafström is the first one ever to successfully defend his Summer Olympics title at the Winter Olympics . Day 8 ( edit ) The Canadian ice - hockey team finished their qualifying round with 3 wins , scoring a total of 85 goals against Switzerland , Czechoslovakia , and Sweden without surrendering even a single goal against . Day 10 ( edit ) Finding themselves in the same situation Gillis Grafström , the Canadian ice - hockey team is the last ever to successfully defend its Summer Olympics title at the Winter Olympics . Canada would dominate ice hockey in early Olympic competition , winning six of the first seven gold medals awarded . Epilogue ( edit ) At the closing of the games a prize was awarded for a sport that did not lend itself very well for tournaments : Pierre de Coubertin presented a prize for ' alpinisme ' ( mountaineering ) to Charles Granville Bruce , the leader of the expedition that tried to climb Mount Everest in 1922 . For the first time in the history of the modern Olympics , the host country , in this case , France , failed to win any gold medals , finishing with three bronze medals . This feat would later occur at the next Winter Olympics in St. Moritz where Switzerland won only a single bronze medal , the lowest ever output by a host nation at an Olympics . Later host nations to finish without gold medals included Canada at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal and 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary and Yugoslavia at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo . In 1925 , the IOC decided to organize Olympic Winter Games every four years , independent of the Olympic Games proper , and recognized the International Winter Sports Week as the first Olympic Winter games in retrospect . In 1974 the final individual medal of Chamonix 1924 was presented . Anders Haugen , who until then had been recorded as finishing fourth in the ski jumping event , received a bronze medal . After fifty years an error had been discovered in the score of Thorleif Haug . In 2006 , the IOC confirmed that the awarded medals to 1924 curling teams were official . The IOC verified that curling was officially part of the program , after the Glasgow Herald newspaper filed a claim on behalf of the families of the team . Events ( edit ) Medals were awarded in 16 events contested in 5 sports ( 9 disciplines ) . Many sources do not list curling and the military patrol , or list them as demonstration events . However , no such designation was made in 1924 . In February 2006 the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) ruled that curling was a full part of the Olympic program , and have included the medals awarded in the official count .

Oakland Raiders relocation to Las Vegas

Oakland Raiders relocation to Las Vegas - wikipedia Oakland Raiders relocation to Las Vegas Jump to : navigation , search Oakland -- Alameda Coliseum before a football game . The Oakland Raiders relocation to Las Vegas was a successful effort by the owner of the Oakland Raiders ( Mark Davis ) to relocate the American football club from its current and longtime home of Oakland , California to Las Vegas , Nevada . The team is scheduled to begin play as the Las Vegas Raiders for the 2020 National Football League ( NFL ) season ( although a move to Las Vegas could happen as soon as 2019 with Sam Boyd Stadium ) , playing home games at the Las Vegas Stadium . NFL team owners voted 31 -- 1 to approve the move , which was announced at the annual league meetings in Phoenix , Arizona on March 27 , 2017 . The Raiders became the third NFL franchise to relocate in the 2010s , following the Rams ' move from St. Louis , Missouri to Los Angeles , California on January 12 , 2016 , and the Chargers ' move from San Diego , California to Los Angeles on January 12 , 2017 . The Raiders ' move to Las Vegas comes after years of failed efforts to renovate or replace the Oakland -- Alameda County Coliseum , which has been rated by multiple sources as one of the worst stadiums in the NFL .

The team joined the NFL as a result of the merger in 1970 . From 1966 until 1981 , it played home games at the Oakland -- Alameda County Coliseum , which it shared with Major League Baseball 's Oakland Athletics after that team moved to Oakland in 1968 . In 1980 Al Davis , dissatisfied with the stadium situation in Oakland and seeing luxury boxes as the future of the NFL came to an agreement with the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum commission to move the Raiders to Los Angeles . The NFL had refused to let the team move , but a court over-ruled the league , clearing the way for the Raiders to move to Los Angeles and become the Los Angeles Raiders . In 1982 , the Raiders ( then owned by Al Davis ) were approved to relocate from Oakland to Los Angeles . The Raiders played home games at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum from 1982 -- 1994 . In 1995 , after being unable to secure a new stadium in the Los Angeles area the Raiders moved back to Oakland . Meanwhile , Las Vegas had been home to a number of other professional football franchises between 1994 and the Raiders ' arrival , none of which were particularly successful . The Las Vegas Posse , part of the Canadian Football League 's effort to enter the U.S. market , lasted one season in 1994 and suffered from poor on - field product and worse attendance figures . The XFL included the Las Vegas Outlaws in its lone 2001 season ; its attendance and on - field performance were respectable , and the team embraced the city 's culture , but the Outlaws ' modest success was overshadowed by the failure of the XFL . The Las Vegas Locomotives of the United Football League were a major on - field success and were one of the UFL 's best teams ; it nonetheless suffered from poor attendance to start that continued to decline throughout the league 's existence to the point that its last home game drew only 600 fans . The Arena Football League included three teams in Las Vegas over the course of its history : the Las Vegas Sting ( 1994 and 1995 ) , Las Vegas Gladiators ( 2003 to 2007 , now the Cleveland Gladiators ) , and another Las Vegas Outlaws ( 2015 ) . The Las Vegas Sin of the Lingerie Football League ( now the Legends Football League ) played in the city from 2011 to 2014 . The hunt for a home ( edit ) Raiders owner Mark Davis Recent efforts to either renovate or replace the Oakland -- Alameda County Coliseum with a new football stadium in Oakland or elsewhere date back to November 18 , 2009 . In 2011 , Al Davis died and control of the team was assumed by his son Mark Davis who made finding a solution to the 3 decade long stadium problem a top priority . The Raiders were free to move after the 2013 NFL season , when its lease on the Oakland -- Alameda County Coliseum expired . While exploring possible solutions in the Bay Area and potential relocation candidates , the Raiders signed one - year extensions of its lease on the Coliseum . 2011 : Levi 's stadium ( edit ) There had been discussions for the Raiders to share Levi 's Stadium in Santa Clara , California with the San Francisco 49ers . However , the 49ers went ahead without the Raiders and broke ground on the $1.2 billion stadium on April 19 , 2012 and afterwards sold $670 million worth of seats including 70 % of club and luxury suites , making it more unlikely that the Raiders would continue to explore the idea of sharing the stadium as they would then be secondary tenants with little to no commercial rights over the highly lucrative luxury suites . Mark Davis further increased the unlikelihood of the Raiders and the 49ers to share Levi 's stadium when he told NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport that he had no plans to share the stadium but that he did recognize the Raiders ' need for a new home and that he hoped the new home would be in Oakland . When Levi 's Stadium had its grand opening on July 17 , 2014 , NFL commissioner Roger Goodell mentioned to the live crowd that it would make a great home for the Raiders and that it was up for the team to decide whether or not it wanted to play there or build a stadium on the site of the Oakland Coliseum . 2012 − 2013 : Coliseum city ( edit ) On March 7 , 2012 , then - mayor Jean Quan unveiled an ambitious project to the media that was designed to improve the sports facilities of all three major league sports teams in the city ( the Raiders , Major League Baseball ( MLB ) 's Athletics and the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) 's Golden State Warriors ) , as well as attract new businesses to the city . The project , dubbed Coliseum City , had entailed the redevelopment of the existing Oakland -- Alameda County Coliseum complex . The redevelopment would have seen the construction of two new stadiums on the present location , a baseball - only stadium and a football - only stadium , while Oracle Arena , home of the Warriors , would have been either rebuilt or undergone extensive renovations . A sum of $3.5 million was committed to preliminary planning on the project . However , no officials from either of Oakland 's major league teams were present at the media conference . According to the San Francisco Business Times , Oakland 's assistant city administrator Fred Blackwell said the Bay Investment Group LLC , an entity being formed by Colony Capital LLC , Rashid Al Malik ( chairman and CEO of HayaH Holdings ) , and the city , had numerous details to continue working out for the prospective $2 billion Coliseum City project , which covered 800 acres surrounding the Oakland -- Alameda Coliseum Complex . The development team also included JRDV Urban International , HKS Architects , and Forest City Real Estate Services . In an ideal situation , construction could have started by the end of 2014 . Meanwhile , the Warriors began to go forward with plans to build a new arena at Mission Bay , not far from AT&T Park , and move back across the Bay Area from Oakland to San Francisco as soon as 2019 . 2013 : Concord , California ( edit ) The abandoned Concord Naval Weapons Station , 26.6 miles from Oakland , was announced in 2013 as a possible location for a new stadium but developments failed to materialize . 2014 : San Antonio , Texas ( edit ) In July 2014 , San Antonio , Texas , emerged as a potential relocation candidate for the team , after Raiders owner Mark Davis visited an event hosted for former Raiders wide receiver Cliff Branch in the city . San Antonio , while it was in a smaller media market than the San Francisco Bay Area , had the advantage of having a relatively new and NFL - ready stadium in the Alamodome and less sporting competition . On July 29 , 2014 , it was reported by the San Antonio Express - News that Mark Davis met with officials from the city of San Antonio to discuss the possibility of relocating the Raiders to San Antonio after the 2014 -- 15 NFL season . Davis confirmed that he did speak with San Antonio city officials while visiting San Antonio to honor former Raiders wide receiver Cliff Branch 's induction into a local Hall of Fame , but did not comment on whether he was considering relocation to San Antonio . The Raiders would have played at the 65,000 - seat Alamodome until a new stadium could be built . San Antonio remained in contention as a site through at least November 2014 , when Raiders staffers scouted the stadium and began negotiating with San Antonio officials . 2015 : Raiders attempt to put together a project with Athletics ( edit ) It was reported in early 2015 that the Raiders sat down with Athletics owner Lewis Wolff in an effort to create a stadium solution where two separate stadiums ( one for the Raiders and one for the Athletics ) would have been built on the coliseum site . The Athletics balked at the deal . In an interview with J.T. the Brick on KGMZ on April 4 , 2017 , Davis revealed that he offered Wolff ( the owner of the Athletics ) 20 percent of the Raiders in an attempt to get a deal done . Davis further elaborated that the closest that the Raiders came to a deal in Oakland was in 2013 with Colony Capital , before the Athletics agreed to a 10 - year lease extension at the Coliseum with the city of Oakland . 2015 : Los Angeles project and losing to the Rams ( edit ) Main articles : National Football League in Los Angeles , Carson Stadium , Los Angeles Stadium at Hollywood Park , and History of the Los Angeles Raiders § Attempted return to Los Angeles On February 19 , 2015 , the Raiders and the then San Diego Chargers announced that they would build a privately financed $1.78 billion stadium in Carson , California if they were to move back to the Los Angeles market . Both teams stated that they would continue to attempt to get stadiums built in their respective cities . The Carson City Council would bypass the public vote and approved the plan 3 -- 0 . The council voted without having clarified several issues , including who would finance the stadium , how the required three - way land swap would be performed , and how it would raise enough revenue if only one team moved in as tenant . On January 12 , the NFL rejected the Raiders ' relocation request in favor of a competing plan by Stan Kroenke to move the then St. Louis Rams back to Los Angeles and construct a stadium and entertainment district in Inglewood , California . However , the NFL left open the possibility of the Raiders relocating to Los Angeles by 2019 and playing in the new stadium under construction to house the Los Angeles Rams . The San Diego Chargers however had the first option to join the Rams at the new stadium , the Raiders would have been authorized to negotiate an agreement if the Chargers did not exercise their option by January 2017 . The Chargers exercised their choice and announced their relocation to Los Angeles in January 2017 , shutting the Raiders out of the Southern California market . Around this time other markets expressed interest in luring the Raiders . For example Duluth , Minnesota submitted a proposal to construct a new stadium for the team , a proposal that was not taken seriously because of the metro area 's small size , proximity to the Minnesota Vikings and unwillingness to commit money to the stadium proposal . Less than a month after the Chargers announced their move to Los Angeles , Las Vegas had emerged as the most likely destination candidate for the Raiders . 2016 − 2017 : negotiations to move to Las Vegas and last Oakland stadium effort ( edit ) Main article : Las Vegas Stadium 2015 view of the Las Vegas Stadium site , adjacent to Mandalay Bay and Interstate 15 2016 ( edit ) On January 29 , 2016 , Davis met with Las Vegas Sands owner Sheldon Adelson about possibly relocating to a $2.3 billion , 65,000 capacity domed stadium in Las Vegas , Nevada . During Davis ' meeting with Adelson , he also visited the University of Nevada , Las Vegas ( UNLV ) , which included a contingent consisting of the university 's president Len Jessup , former university president Donald Snyder , Steve Wynn , and former Ultimate Fighting Championship ( UFC ) owner Lorenzo Fertitta . The proposed stadium would replace Sam Boyd Stadium and would serve as the home of both the Raiders and the UNLV Rebels college football program . A relocation to Las Vegas would be a long - term proposal , as Sam Boyd Stadium is undersized for the NFL and there are no other professional - caliber stadiums in Nevada . Raiders officials were also in Las Vegas to tour locations in the valley for a potential new home ; they were also on the 42 - acre site of the proposed stadium to ask questions about the site . Interviewed by sports columnist Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News , Davis said that he had a `` great '' visit in the city he described it as interesting . Davis also said that Las Vegas was a global city and that `` it 's absolutely an NFL city , '' as well as saying that `` the Raider brand would do well '' and `` I think Las Vegas is coming along slowly . '' On March 21 , 2016 , when asked about Las Vegas , Davis said , `` I think the Raiders like the Las Vegas plan , '' and `` it 's a very very very intriguing and exciting plan , '' referring to the stadium plan in Las Vegas . Davis also met with Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval about the stadium plan . On April 1 , 2016 , Davis toured Sam Boyd Stadium to evaluate whether UNLV could serve as a temporary home of the team and was with UNLV football coach Tony Sanchez , athletic director Tina Kunzer - Murphy , adviser Don Snyder and school president Len Jessup to further explore the possibility of the Raiders moving to Las Vegas . On April 28 , 2016 , Davis said he wanted to move the Raiders to Las Vegas and pledged $500 million toward the construction of a proposed $2.4 billion domed stadium . `` Together we can turn the Silver State into the silver and black state , '' Davis said . At a media conference in UNLV 's Stan Fulton Building , Davis also said the club had `` made a commitment to Las Vegas at this point in time and that 's where it stands . '' In an interview with ESPN after returning from a meeting for the 2016 NFL draft he expanded upon reasons why Southern Nevada held a certain appeal over the East Bay of the Oakland -- San Francisco Bay Area , how he tried to make it work in Oakland and why ( as he told Sandoval ) he hopes to turn Nevada into the `` Silver and Black State '' ; he also spoke of the meeting saying , `` It was a positive , well - organized presentation that I believe was well - received '' , and stating , `` It was a very positive step in finding the Raiders a home . '' On May 20 , 2016 , New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said he would support Davis and the Raiders move to Las Vegas , stating , `` I think it would be good for the NFL . '' On May 23 , 2016 , the San Francisco Chronicle and other media outlets reported that a group led by former San Francisco 49ers safety ( and Pro Football Hall of Fame member ) Ronnie Lott and retired quarterback Rodney Peete were looking into building a new Oakland stadium for the Raiders . The group met with team executives and Oakland city officials to brief them on their proposal . They also met with mayor Libby Schaaf . The Alameda County Board of Supervisors voted to begin negotiations with Lott 's group and with the city of Oakland regarding the `` price and terms of sale '' for the 120 - acre land of the Oakland Coliseum and Oracle Arena . Davis publicly reiterated his commitment to his announced plans to relocate the Raiders franchise to Las Vegas , Nevada with the support of the state of Nevada and casino mogul Sheldon Adelson , and said he did not wish to negotiate further with Oakland while the Las Vegas deal was still actively in progress ; any relocation to Las Vegas needed to be approved by a three - quarters majority of all NFL owners , and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell publicly stated his preference for keeping the Raiders franchise in Oakland if at all possible . However , it was reported that the NFL had issues with the Lott Group 's financier Fortress Investment Group due to past issues the group had . On August 11 , 2016 , Raiders ' officials met with Northern Nevada officials about the possibility of Reno being the site of a new training camp / practice facility and toured several sites including the University of Nevada , Reno , Reno area high schools , and sports complexes . On August 25 , 2016 , the Raiders filed a trademark application for `` Las Vegas Raiders '' on the same day renderings of a new stadium ( located west of Interstate 15 at Las Vegas ) were released to the public . On September 15 , 2016 , the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee unanimously voted to recommend and approve $750 million for the Las Vegas stadium plan . On October 11 , 2016 , the Nevada Senate voted 16 -- 5 to approve the funding bill for the Las Vegas stadium proposal . The Nevada Assembly voted 28 -- 13 three days later to approve the bill to fund the new Las Vegas stadium proposal ; two days later , Sandoval signed the funding bill into law . Davis told ESPN on October 15 , 2016 that even if the Raiders were approved by the league to relocate to the Las Vegas metropolitan area , the club would play the next two seasons at the Oakland -- Alameda County Coliseum in 2017 and 2018 , stating `` We want to bring a Super Bowl championship back to the Bay Area . '' The team would then play at a temporary facility in 2019 after its lease at the Coliseum expires . Davis has also indicated a desire to play at least one preseason game in Las Vegas , at Sam Boyd Stadium , as early as the 2017 season . ( The Raiders ' 2017 schedule has both preseason games in Oakland . ) On October 17 , 2016 , Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval signed into law Senate Bill 1 and Assembly Bill 1 which approved a hotel room rate tax increase to accommodate $750 million in public funding for the new stadium . On November 12 , 2016 , a report from the NFL 's own in - house media team outlined how Las Vegas might not be a done deal . The report stated that the majority of owners favored the Raiders staying in Oakland due to market size and stability . The vast majority of the NFL 's revenue comes from TV contracts . So because of that , it made little sense for the other 31 NFL owners to vote in favor of one of their partners abandoning the 6th biggest media market for the 42nd . On November 30 , 2016 , a framework deal to keep the Raiders in Oakland was announced . In addition to the public land , the city of Oakland would commit $200 million to improve the infrastructure of the surrounding area . The Raiders would contribute $500 million to the stadium , while Lott 's group would contribute $400 million ; the NFL already committed $300 million when it rejected the Raiders ' bid to return to Los Angeles in 2015 . Ronnie Lott had no financial or ownership stake in the Raiders ; some sources indicated that Lott was also asking for an ownership stake ( reportedly around 20 percent ) in the Raiders franchise as part of the deal , a condition that was unacceptable to Raiders owner Mark Davis . The Oakland proposal was officially announced in December 2016 , and called for a $1.3 billion , football - only stadium built on the existing Coliseum site . It included mixed use development for possible office or retail space , hotel or residential living and parking , as well as 15 acres set aside for a new baseball - only facility for the Oakland Athletics if the A 's so desired . The site also could have been expanded to include the land Oracle Arena sits on , with the Warriors cleared to move to their new San Francisco arena by the 2019 season . The Ronnie Lott proposal was voted on by the Oakland city and Alameda County elected officials on December 13 , 2016 and approved by Oakland in a 7 -- 0 vote and by Alameda County in a 3 -- 1 vote . 2017 ( edit ) The Raiders officially filed paperwork to relocate from Oakland , California , to Las Vegas , Nevada , on January 19 , 2017 . The Raiders needed 24 of the 32 NFL club owners to vote to officially approve the move to Las Vegas . On January 30 , 2017 , it was announced that Adelson had dropped out of the stadium project , also withdrawing the Las Vegas Sands ' proposed $650 million contribution from the project . Instead , the Raiders would increase their contribution from $500 million to $1.15 billion . One day after Adelson 's announcement , Goldman Sachs ( the company behind the financing to the proposed Las Vegas stadium ) announced its intent to withdraw from the project . On January 31 , 2017 , in the aftermath of Adelson and Goldman Sachs ' withdrawal from the Las Vegas deal , the San Diego Union - Tribune reported that Mayor Kevin Faulconer reached out to an NFL official to let them know they were eager to engage ; a city official also spoke to a Raiders official on the phone . The Union - Tribune noted that any possible Raiders relocation to San Diego or bringing a team to the city would have been aided by a proposal for a soccer - specific stadium and mixed development . NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reiterated , during his State of the NFL address , that San Diego would need a new stadium in order to be a relocation possibility . Another roadblock for a Raiders relocation to the city would have been the owners of the current Los Angeles teams . Stan Kroenke and Dean Spanos would block any team from sharing Southern California , especially if that team is the Raiders ( given the team 's continued popularity in the region ) . San Diego , as an option for the Raiders , was remote . San Diego was previously home to the San Diego Chargers from 1961 until 2016 ( when the team relocated to the Greater Los Angeles Area ) ; a Raiders move there would have been ironic given that the team 's primary rival the Chargers were based in that city . On February 16 , 2017 , the San Diego Union - Tribune obtained a letter from Doug Manchester that stated he had `` assembled a powerful group of associates '' who would develop a 70,000 - seat stadium on the land of Qualcomm Stadium ; the letter also stated the project would provide `` a viable alternative '' to the Raiders in case Las Vegas fell through ; the group also stated that they were `` open to working with the Chargers , Raiders , other NFL owners , or a new ownership group '' ; it also stated an NFL franchise could participate as a partner or tenant : `` Our group will provide the funds previously allocated to be provided by the City of San Diego and guarantee the stadium 's expeditious construction . Accordingly it will not require voter approval . '' It also said they would provide `` new state of the art scoreboards and upgrade Qualcomm Stadium while the new stadium is being constructed '' . On March 1 , 2017 , Fortress Investment Group submitted a tweaked version of the Oakland stadium plan to the NFL . Relocation to Las Vegas ( edit ) On March 6 , 2017 , the Raiders revealed that Bank of America would be replacing Sheldon Adelson 's portion of the funding for the new stadium in Las Vegas . On March 27 , 2017 , the National Football League officially approved the Raiders move from Oakland to Las Vegas in a 31 -- 1 vote , ensuring them a new stadium in the process . However , even though the Raiders were approved to move to Las Vegas , the club will still play the 2017 and 2018 NFL seasons at the Oakland -- Alameda County Coliseum and still be known as the Oakland Raiders so as long as they play in the San Francisco Bay Area . About one thousand season ticket holders asked for and received refunds after the move to Las Vegas was announced . Their tickets were sold to other fans within hours , and the Raiders ' 53,250 season tickets were all sold out by late May . The league levied a $350 million relocation fee on the Raiders , which will be paid in ten annual installments beginning in 2019 . This figure is slightly more than half of the $650 million fee that the Rams and Chargers each paid to relocate to Los Angeles . Popular culture ( edit ) In season 3 of the HBO television series Ballers , which was produced in 2016 and aired in 2017 , Spencer Strasmore ( Dwayne Johnson ) leads an effort to relocate the Raiders to Las Vegas .

Until 2003 , the Service was part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury , as the agency was originally founded to combat the then - widespread counterfeiting of U.S. currency . The U.S. Secret Service is tasked with two distinct and critical national security missions : Investigative Mission -- The investigative mission of the USSS is to safeguard the payment and financial systems of the United States from a wide range of financial and electronic - based crimes . Financial investigations include counterfeit U.S. currency , bank & financial institution fraud , mail fraud , wire fraud , illicit financing operations , and major conspiracies . Electronic investigations include cybercrime , network intrusions , identity theft , access device fraud , credit card fraud , and intellectual property crimes . The Secret Service is a key member of the FBI 's Joint Terrorism Task Force ( JTTF ) which investigates and combats terrorism on a national and international scale , as well as of the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas ( HIDTA ) task force which seeks to reduce and eliminate drug trafficking in critical regions of the United States . The Service also investigates missing and exploited children and is a core partner of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children ( NCMEC ) . Protective Mission -- The protective mission of the USSS is to ensure the safety of the President of the United States , the Vice President of the United States , the President 's and Vice President 's immediate families , former presidents , their spouses , and their minor children under the age of 16 , major presidential and vice presidential candidates and their spouses , and foreign heads of state . The USSS also provides physical security for the White House Complex , the neighboring Treasury Department building , the Vice President 's residence , and all foreign diplomatic missions in Washington , D.C. The protective mission includes protective operations to coordinate manpower and logistics with state and local law enforcement , protective advances to conduct site and venue assessments for protectees , and protective intelligence to investigate all manners of threats made against protectees . The Secret Service is the lead agency in charge of the planning , coordination , and implementation of security operations for events designated as National Special Security Events ( NSSEs ) . As part of the Service 's mission of preventing an incident before it occurs , the agency relies on meticulous advance work and threat assessments developed by its Intelligence Division to identify potential risks to protectees . The Secret Service 's initial responsibility was to investigate the counterfeiting of U.S. currency , which was rampant following the American Civil War . The agency then evolved into the United States ' first domestic intelligence and counterintelligence agency . Many of the agency 's missions were later taken over by subsequent agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) , Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) , Drug Enforcement Administration ( DEA ) , Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms and Explosives ( ATF ) , and IRS Criminal Investigation Division ( IRS - CI ) .

Secret Service agents protecting President George W. Bush in 2002 . Secret Service and FBI agents investigate the Boston Marathon bombing . The Secret Service is mandated by Congress to carry out a unique dual mission : safeguarding the financial and critical infrastructure of the United States , and protecting the nation 's leaders . The two core missions of investigations and protection synergize with the other , providing crucial benefits to special agents during the course of their careers . Skills developed during the course of investigations which are also used in an agent 's protective duties include but are not limited to : Proficiency in analyzing handwriting and forgery techniques being applied in protective investigations of handwritten letters and suspicious package threats . Expertise in investigating electronic and financial crimes being applied in protective investigations of threats made against the nation 's leaders on the Internet . Tactical operation ( i.e. surveillance , arrests , and search warrants ) and law enforcement writing ( i.e. affidavits , after action reports , and operations plans ) skills being applied to both investigative and protective duties . Partnerships that are created between field offices and local law enforcement during the course of investigations being used to gather both protective intelligence and in coordinating protection events . The Secret Service 's primary investigative mission is to protect the payment and financial systems of the United States from a wide range of financial and electronic - based crimes including counterfeit U.S. currency , bank & financial institution fraud , illicit financing operations , cybercrime , identity theft , intellectual property crimes , and any other violations that may affect the United States economy and financial systems . The agency 's key focus is on large , high - dollar economic impact cases involving organized criminal groups . Financial criminals include embezzling bank employees , armed robbers at automatic teller machines , heroin traffickers , and criminal organizations that commit bank fraud on a global scale . The USSS plays a leading role in facilitating relationships between other law enforcement entities , the private sector , and academia . The Service maintains the Electronic Crimes Task Forces , which focus on identifying and locating international cyber criminals connected to cyber intrusions , bank fraud , data breaches , and other computer - related crimes . Additionally , the Secret Service runs the National Computer Forensics Institute ( NCFI ) , which provides law enforcement officers , prosecutors , and judges with cyber training and information to combat cybercrime . Protection of the nation 's highest elected leaders and other government officials remains the other key mission of the United States Secret Service . After the 1901 assassination of President William McKinley , Congress also directed the Secret Service to protect the President of the United States . The Secret Service is authorized by law to protect : The President , Vice President ( or other officer next in the order of succession to the Office of President , should the Vice Presidency be vacant ) , President - elect and Vice President - elect The immediate families of the above individuals Former Presidents and their spouses for their lifetimes ( except when the spouse divorces or remarries ) , under the Former Presidents Act . From 1997 until 2013 , legislation was in place limiting Secret Service protection to former Presidents and their spouses to a period of 10 years from the date the former President leaves office . President Barack Obama signed legislation on January 10 , 2013 , reversing this limit and reinstating lifetime protection . The widow or widower of a former President who dies in office or dies within a year of leaving office for a period of one year after the President 's death ( the Secretary of Homeland Security can extend the protection time ) Children of former Presidents until age 16 or 10 years after the presidency Former Vice Presidents , their spouses , and their children under 16 years of age , for up to 6 months from the date the former Vice President leaves office ( the Secretary of Homeland Security can extend the protection time ) Visiting heads of states or governments and their spouses traveling with them Other distinguished foreign visitors to the United States and official representatives of the United States performing special missions abroad , as directed by the President Major presidential and vice presidential candidates The spouses of major presidential and vice presidential candidates ( within 120 days of a general presidential election ) Other individuals as designated per executive order of the President National Special Security Events , when designated as such by the Secretary of Homeland Security The laws states that individuals other than the President , the Vice President ( or other officer next in the order of succession to the Office of President ) , the President - elect , and the Vice President - elect may decline Secret Service protection , but the law neither allows nor disallows these excepted offices from declining . When Hillary Clinton became Secretary of State in 2009 , the Secret Service continued to protect her at home ; however the Diplomatic Security Service protected her while she was performing her duties as the Secretary of State , including foreign travel . The Secret Service investigates thousands of incidents each year of individuals threatening the President of the United States . In the face of budget pressure , hiring challenges and some high - profile lapses in its protective service role in 2014 , the Brookings Institution and some members of Congress are asking whether the agency 's focus should shift more to the protective mission , leaving more of its original mission to other agencies . History ( edit ) Early years ( edit ) Logo of the United States Secret Service With a reported one third of the currency in circulation being counterfeit at the time , the Secret Service was created on July 5 , 1865 in Washington , D.C. , to suppress counterfeit currency . Chief William P. Wood was sworn in by Secretary of the Treasury Hugh McCulloch . It was commissioned in Washington , D.C. as the `` Secret Service Division '' of the Department of the Treasury with the mission of suppressing counterfeiting . The legislation creating the agency was on Abraham Lincoln 's desk the night he was assassinated . At the time , the only other federal law enforcement agencies were the United States Customs Service , the United States Park Police , the U.S. Post Office Department 's Office of Instructions and Mail Depredations ( now known as the United States Postal Inspection Service ) , and the United States Marshals Service . The Marshals did not have the manpower to investigate all crime under federal jurisdiction , so the Secret Service began to investigate everything from murder to bank robbery to illegal gambling . After the assassination of President William McKinley in 1901 , Congress informally requested that the Secret Service provide presidential protection . A year later , the Secret Service assumed full - time responsibility for presidential protection . In 1902 , William Craig became the first Secret Service agent to die while serving , in a road accident while riding in the presidential carriage . The Secret Service was the first U.S. domestic intelligence and counterintelligence agency . Domestic intelligence collection and counterintelligence responsibilities were vested in the Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) upon the FBI 's creation in 1908 . The Secret Service assisted in arresting Japanese American leaders and in the Japanese American internment during World War II . The U.S. Secret Service is not a part of the U.S. Intelligence Community . 20th century ( edit ) Taft assassination attempt ( edit ) In 1909 , President William H. Taft agreed to meet with Mexican President Porfirio Díaz in El Paso , Texas and Ciudad Juárez , Mexico , the first meeting between a U.S. and a Mexican president and also the first time an American president visited Mexico . But the historic summit resulted in serious assassination threats and other security concerns for the then small Secret Service , so the Texas Rangers , 4,000 U.S. and Mexican troops , BOI agents , U.S. marshals , and an additional 250 private security detail led by Frederick Russell Burnham , the celebrated scout , were all called in by Chief John Wilkie to provide added security . On October 16 , the day of the summit , Burnham discovered a man holding a concealed palm pistol standing at the El Paso Chamber of Commerce building along the procession route . Burnham signaled a Texas Ranger , Private C.R. Moore , and the two men captured and disarmed the assassin within only a few feet of Díaz and Taft , preventing the shooting of both Presidents . 1950s ( edit ) In 1950 , President Harry S. Truman was residing in Blair House while the White House , across the street , was undergoing renovations . On November 1 , 1950 , two Puerto Rican nationalists , Oscar Collazo and Griselio Torresola , approached Blair House with the intent to assassinate President Truman . Collazo and Torresola opened fire on Private Leslie Coffelt and other White House Police officers . Though mortally wounded by three shots from a 9 mm German Luger to his chest and abdomen , Private Coffelt returned fire , killing Torresola with a single shot to his head . As of 2017 , Coffelt is the only member of the Secret Service killed while protecting a US president against an assassination attempt ( Special Agent Tim McCarthy stepped in front of President Ronald Reagan during the assassination attempt of March 30 , 1981 , and took a bullet to the abdomen but made a full recovery ) . Collazo was also shot , but survived his injuries and served 29 years in prison before returning to Puerto Rico in late 1979 . 1960s ( edit ) In 1968 , as a result of Robert F. Kennedy 's assassination , Congress authorized protection of major presidential and vice presidential candidates and nominees . In 1965 and 1968 , Congress also authorized lifetime protection of the spouses of deceased presidents unless they remarry and of the children of former presidents until age 16 . 1980s ( edit ) Secret Service analyst examining counterfeit documents . The Secret Service Presidential Protective Division safeguards the President of the United States and his immediate family . They work with other federal , state , and local law enforcement agencies and the military to safeguard the President when he travels in Air Force One , Marine One and by limousine in motorcades . Although the most visible role of the Secret Service today , personal protection is an anomaly in the responsibilities of an agency focused on fraud and counterfeiting . In 1984 , the US Congress passed the Comprehensive Crime Control Act , which extended the Secret Service 's jurisdiction over credit card fraud and computer fraud . 1990s ( edit ) In 1990 , the Secret Service initiated Operation Sundevil , which they originally intended as a sting against malicious hackers , allegedly responsible for disrupting telephone services across the entire United States . The operation , which was later described by Bruce Sterling in his book The Hacker Crackdown , affected a great number of people unrelated to hacking , and led to no convictions . The Secret Service , however , was sued and required to pay damages . In 1994 and 1995 , it ran an undercover sting called Operation Cybersnare . The Secret Service has concurrent jurisdiction with the FBI over certain violations of federal computer crime laws . They have created 24 Electronic Crimes Task Forces ( ECTFs ) across the United States . These task forces are partnerships between the Service , federal / state and local law enforcement , the private sector and academia aimed at combating technology - based crimes . In 1998 , President Bill Clinton signed Presidential Decision Directive 62 , which established National Special Security Events ( NSSE ) . That directive made the Secret Service responsible for security at designated events . In 1999 , the United States Secret Service Memorial Building was dedicated in DC , granting the agency its first headquarters . Prior to this , the agency 's different departments were based in office space around the DC area . 21st century ( edit ) 2000s ( edit ) September 11 attacks ( edit ) The New York City Field office was located at 6 World Trade Center . Immediately after the World Trade Center was attacked as part of the September 11 attacks , Special Agents and other New York Field office employees were among the first to respond with first aid . Sixty - seven Special Agents in New York City , at and near the New York Field Office , helped to set up triage areas and evacuate the towers . One Secret Service employee , Master Special Officer Craig Miller , died during the rescue efforts . On August 20 , 2002 , Director Brian L. Stafford awarded the Director 's Valor Award to employees who assisted in the rescue attempts . Domestic expansion ( edit ) Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force ( ECTF ) Secret Service Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Task Force ( AFMLTF ) . Effective March 1 , 2003 , the Secret Service transferred from the Treasury to the newly established Department of Homeland Security . The USA Patriot Act , signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 26 , 2001 , mandated the Secret Service to establish a nationwide network of ECTFs in addition to the one already active in New York . As such , this mandate expanded on the agency 's first ECTF -- the New York Electronic Crimes Task Force , formed in 1995 -- which brought together federal , state and local law enforcement , prosecutors , private - industry companies , and academia . These bodies collectively provide necessary support and resources to field investigations that meet any one of the following criteria : significant economic or community impact ; participation of organized criminal groups involving multiple districts or transnational organizations ; or use of schemes involving new technology . The network prioritizes investigations that meet the following criteria : Significant economic or community impact , Participation of multiple - district or transnational organized criminal groups , Use of new technology as a means to commit crime . Investigations conducted by ECTFs include crimes such as computer generated counterfeit currency ; bank fraud ; virus and worm proliferation ; access device fraud ; telecommunications fraud ; Internet threats ; computer system intrusions and cyberattacks ; phishing / spoofing ; assistance with Internet - related child pornography and exploitation ; and identity theft . International expansion ( edit ) Secret Service Cyber Intelligence Center ( CIS ) On July 6 , 2009 , the U.S. Secret Service expanded its fight on cybercrime by creating the first European Electronic Crime Task Force , based on the successful U.S. domestic model , through a memorandum of understanding with Italian police and postal officials . Over a year later , on August 9 , 2010 , the agency expanded its European involvement by creating its second overseas ECTF in the United Kingdom . Both task forces are said to concentrate on a wide range of `` computer - based criminal activity , '' including : Identity theft Network intrusions Other computer - related crimes affecting financial and other critical infrastructures . 2010s ( edit ) As of 2010 , the Service had over 6,500 employees : 3,200 Special Agents , 1,300 Uniformed Division Officers , and 2,000 technical and administrative employees . Special agents serve on protective details and investigate financial , cyber , and homeland security - related crimes . In September 2014 , the United States Secret Service came under criticism following two high - profile incidents involving intruders at the White House . One such intruder entered the East Room of the White House through an unlocked door . Another incident involved a violation of procedure in which an armed security guard for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rode in the same elevator as President Barack Obama during a visit to that agency 's headquarters in Atlanta , Georgia , to discuss U.S. response to the Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa . The guard used his phone to record a video of Obama and refused to comply with a request to stop . The guard had been arrested multiple times in the past , but had never been convicted of a crime . Attacks on Presidents ( edit ) Main article : List of United States presidential assassination attempts and plots Secret Service agents in response to the assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan by John Hinckley , Jr. on March 30 , 1981 Since the 1960s , Presidents John F. Kennedy ( killed ) , Gerald Ford ( twice attacked , but uninjured ) and Ronald Reagan ( seriously wounded ) have been attacked while appearing in public . Agents on scene though not injured during attacks on Presidents include William Greer and Roy Kellerman . One of the agents was Robert DeProspero , the Special Agent In Charge ( SAIC ) of Reagan 's Presidential Protective Division ( PPD ) from January 1982 to April 1985 . DeProspero was deputy to Jerry Parr , the SAIC of PPD during the Reagan assassination attempt on March 30 , 1981 . Secret Service agents guard President George W. Bush in 2008 . The Kennedy assassination spotlighted the bravery of two Secret Service agents . First , an agent protecting Mrs. Kennedy , Clint Hill , was riding in the car directly behind the presidential limousine when the attack began . While the shooting continued , Hill leapt from the running board of the car he was riding on and jumped onto the back of the President 's moving car and guided Mrs. Kennedy from the trunk back into the rear seat of the car . He then shielded the President and the First Lady with his body until the car arrived at the hospital . Rufus Youngblood was riding in the vice-presidential car . When the shots were fired , he vaulted over the front seat and threw his body over Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson . That evening , Johnson called Secret Service Chief James J. Rowley and cited Youngblood 's bravery . Youngblood would later recall some of this in his memoir , Twenty Years in the Secret Service . The period following the Kennedy assassination was the most difficult in the modern history of the agency . Press reports indicated that morale among the agents was `` low '' for months following the assassination . The agency overhauled its procedures in the wake of the Kennedy killing . Training , which until that time had been confined largely to `` on - the - job '' efforts , was systematized and regularized . The Reagan assassination attempt also highlighted the bravery of several Secret Service agents , particularly agent Tim McCarthy , who spread his stance to protect Reagan as six bullets were being fired by the would - be assassin , John Hinckley Jr . McCarthy survived a . 22 - caliber round in the abdomen . For his bravery , McCarthy received the NCAA Award of Valor in 1982 . Jerry Parr , the agent who pushed President Reagan into the limousine , and made the critical decision to divert the presidential motorcade to George Washington University Hospital instead of returning to the White House , was also honored with U.S. Congress commendations for his actions that day . Significant investigations ( edit ) Arrest and indictment of Max Ray Butler , co-founder of the Carders Market carding website . Butler was indicted by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , after his September 5 , 2007 arrest , on wire fraud and identity theft charges . According to the indictment , Butler hacked over the Internet into computers at financial institutions and credit card processing centers and sold the tens of thousands of credit card numbers that he acquired in the process . Operation Firewall : In October 2004 , 28 suspects -- located across eight U.S. states and six countries -- were arrested on charges of identity theft , computer fraud , credit - card fraud , and conspiracy . Nearly 30 national and foreign field offices of the U.S. Secret Service , including the newly established national ECTFs , and countless local enforcement agencies from around the globe , were involved in this operation . Collectively , the arrested suspects trafficked in at least 1.7 million stolen credit card numbers , which amounted to $4.3 million of losses to financial institutions . However , authorities estimated that prevented loss to the industry was in the hundreds of millions of dollars . The operation , which started in July 2003 and lasted for more than a year , led investigators to identify three cybercriminal groups : Shadowcrew , Carderplanet , and Darkprofits . Arrest and indictment of Albert Gonzalez and 11 individuals ; three U.S. citizens , one from Estonia , three from Ukraine , two from the People 's Republic of China , one from Belarus , and one known only by an online alias . They were arrested on August 5 , 2008 , for the theft and sale of more than 40 million credit and debit card numbers from major U.S. retailers , including TJX Companies , BJ 's Wholesale Club , OfficeMax , Boston Market , Barnes & Noble , Sports Authority , Forever 21 , and DSW . Gonzalez , the main organizer of the scheme , was charged with computer fraud , wire fraud , access device fraud , aggravated identity theft , and conspiracy for his leading role in the crime .

The Secret Service special agent position is highly competitive . In 2011 , the Service accepted less than 1 % of its 15,600 special agent applicants . While the Secret Service has always been a popular career path for former military and law enforcement personnel , the Service seeks to hire agents from a diverse range of backgrounds in fulfilling its dual mission , including accountants , lawyers , scientists , engineers , and foreign language specialists . At a minimum , a prospective agent must be a U.S. citizen , possess a current valid driver 's license , be in excellent health and physical condition , possess visual acuity no worse than 20 / 60 uncorrected , correctable to 20 / 20 in each eye , and be between the ages of 21 and 37 at the time of appointment . However , preference eligible veterans may apply after age 37 . In 2009 , the Office of Personnel Management issued implementation guidance on the Isabella v. Department of State court decision : OPM Letter . Prospective agents must also qualify for a TS / SCI ( Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information ) clearance , and undergo an extensive background investigation , to include in - depth interviews , drug screening , medical diagnosis , and full - scope polygraph examination . Secret Service agent trainees at the James J. Rowley Training Center ( RTC ) Special agents receive training in two locations , totaling approximately 7 months . The first phase , the Criminal Investigator Training Program ( CITP ) is conducted at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers ( FLETC ) at Glynco , GA , lasting approximately 12 weeks . The second phase , the Special Agent Training Course ( SATC ) is conducted at the Secret Service Academy , James J. Rowley Training Center ( JJRTC ) , just outside Washington , D.C in Laurel , Maryland , lasting approximately 18 weeks . Secret Service agent trainees practice executing a search warrant . A typical special agent career path , depending upon performance and promotions that affect individual assignments , begins with the first six to eight years on the job assigned to a field office . Applicants are directed to list their office location preference during the application process , and upon receiving a final job offer , usually have several locations to choose from . After their field office experience , agents are usually transferred to a protective assignment where they will stay for three to five years . Following their protective assignment , many agents return to a field office for the rest of their careers , or opt for a headquarters based assignment located in Washington , D.C. During their careers , agents also have the opportunity to work overseas in one of the agency 's international field offices . This typically requires foreign language training to ensure language proficiency when working alongside the agency 's foreign law enforcement counterparts . Special agents are hired at either the GL - 07 or GL - 09 grade level , depending on individual qualifications and / or education . Agents are eligible for promotion on a yearly basis , from GL - 07 , to GL - 09 , to GS - 11 , to GS - 12 , to GS - 13 ( GL - 08 and GS - 10 grade levels are skipped ) . The full performance grade level for a journeyman agent is GS - 13 , which a GL - 07 and GL - 09 agent may reach in as little as four and three years respectively . GS - 13 agents are eligible for competitive promotion to supervisory agent positions , which compasses the GS - 14 , GS - 15 , and SES grade levels . GS - 13 agents who wish to remain as senior field agents continue to advance the GS - 13 step level , capping at GS - 13 Step - 10 . Special agents also receive Law Enforcement Availability Pay ( LEAP ) , a type of premium overtime pay which provides them with an additional 25 % bonus pay on top of their salary , as agents are required to work an average workweek of 50 hours as opposed to 40 . Therefore , an agent living in the Greater New York City area will earn an annual salary of approximately $65,733 ( GL - 07 ) , $74,850 ( GL - 09 ) , $87,639 ( GS - 11 ) , $105,044 ( GS - 12 ) , $124,909 ( GS - 13 ) , $147,606 ( GS - 14 ) , and $164,200 ( GS - 15 ) . Moreover , due to the nature of their work and unique among their federal law enforcement counterparts ( e.g. FBI , DEA , ATF , ICE ) , Secret Service agents are regularly eligible for scheduled overtime pay ( SOT pay ) in addition to LEAP for hours they work beyond 50 per week , and enjoy a raised statutory pay cap of $189,600 per year ( Level II of the Executive Schedule ) as opposed to $164,200 per year ( Level IV of the Executive Schedule ) . Uniformed Division Officer ( edit ) Main article : United States Secret Service Uniformed Division Secret Service officer and his police dog as part of the Emergency Response Team ( ERT ) The Secret Service Uniformed Division is a security police similar to the U.S. Capitol Police or DHS Federal Protective Service and is in charge of protecting the physical White House grounds and foreign diplomatic missions in the Washington , D.C. area . Established in 1922 as the White House Police , this organization was fully integrated into the Secret Service in 1930 . In 1970 , the protection of foreign diplomatic missions was added to the force 's responsibilities , and its name was changed to the Executive Protective Service . The name United States Secret Service Uniformed Division was adopted in 1977 . Secret Service Uniformed Division officers provide protection for the White House Complex , the Vice President 's residence , the main Treasury Building and Annex , and foreign diplomatic missions and embassies in the Washington , D.C. , area . Additionally , Uniformed Division officers travel in support of presidential , vice presidential and foreign head of state government missions . Officers may , as their careers progress , be selected to participate in one of several specialized units , including the : Canine Unit : Performing security sweeps and responding to bomb threats and suspicious packages . Emergency Response Team : Providing a coordinated tactical response for the White House and other protected facilities . Counter-sniper Team : Utilizing observation , sighting equipment and high - performance weapons to provide a secure environment for protectees . Motorcade Support Unit : Providing motorcycle tactical support for official movements of motorcades . Crime Scene Search Unit : Photographing , collecting and processing physical and latent evidence . Office of Training : Serving as firearms and classroom instructors or recruiters . Special Operations Section : Handling special duties and functions at the White House Complex , including conducting the daily congressional and public tours of the White House . Special Officer ( edit ) Secret Service special officers ( not to be confused with Uniformed Division Officers ) are federal agents who work within the Special Agent Division and perform a wide range of security functions and support assignments as part of the protective mission for the Secret Service . Whereas special agents alternate between protection and investigative assignments , special officers are hired only to work protection details . They must have a familiarity with all phases of protective responsibilities sufficient to assist in protective movements , cover designated security posts and drive protective vehicles . Assignments may include Maintaining designated protective security posts that control movement of persons into and around multiple Secret Service facilities and associated areas Inspecting all operational , safety , emergency , and convenience equipment of protective vehicles to ensure peak - operating condition Driving protective or follow - up vehicles Monitoring and operating various communications equipment Using various advanced x-ray screening technologies to detect and identify high - risk items Special officers are sworn law enforcement officers , and are authorized to make arrests in connection with their official duties . They are classified as federal agents but use `` special officer '' as their official title much the same way as Deputy US Marshals are special agents but use the title `` Deputy US Marshal '' . Newly appointed special officers must successfully complete eight ( 8 ) weeks of intensive training at the Special Officer Basic Training Course at the Secret Service James J. Rowley Training Center just outside Washington , D.C. The training includes courses such as Criminal Law , Laws of Arrest , Search and Seizure , Control Tactics , Civil Liability , Emergency Medicine , Basic Water Safety , Firearms and Weapons Handling , Radio Communications , Emergency Driving and Physical Fitness Training . Weapons and equipment ( edit ) Secret Service snipers protect Vice President Mike Pence in Indianapolis , 2017 Since the agency 's inception , a variety of weapons have been carried by its agents . Previous firearms ( edit ) Initially the firearms were privately procured and there was little if any standardization . In the 1930s , the USSS issued the Colt M1911A1 pistol in . 45 ACP caliber . In the 1950s and 1960s , Special Agents carried the Smith & Wesson Model 36 and Colt Detective Special . 38 - Special revolvers . Following President Kennedy 's assassination , USSS Special Agents were authorized to carry the . 357 Magnum Smith & Wesson Model 19 revolver . Between 1981 and 1991 , the Secret Service issued the Smith & Wesson Model 19 and the Smith & Wesson Model 66 . 357 Magnum revolvers , with 2.5 - inch barrels all the way up to the 4 - inch - barreled models , loaded with hollow - point rounds . By 1992 , the standard issue weapon became the SIG Sauer P228 9mm pistol . This weapon stayed in service through 1999 . The Secret Service replaced the Thompson submachine gun with the Uzi submachine gun in the 1970s . Uzis that the Secret Service used have slightly shorter - than - standard barrels so they could to fit inside the standard size Samsonite briefcases that concealed them . They phased out the Uzi in the mid 1990s and replaced it with the H&K MP5 . The Secret Service was the last Federal agency to use the Uzi . The Counter-Assault Team used the M4 carbine from the early 1990s until 2006 . Current weapons ( edit ) Secret Service `` counter-sniper '' marksman on top of the White House 's roof , armed with a sniper rifle . The current sidearm for USSS agents is the SIG Sauer P229 chambered in . 357 SIG ( which entered service in 1999 ) or FN Five - seveN chambered in FN 5.7 x28mm . Agents and officers are trained on standard shoulder weapons that include the FN P90 submachine gun , the 9mm Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun , and the 12 - gauge Remington 870 shotgun . The agency has initiated a procurement process to ultimately replace the MP5 with a 5.56 mm rifle . As a non-lethal option , Special Agents , Special Officers , and Uniformed Division Officers are armed with the ASP 16 '' expandable baton , and Uniformed Division officers also carry pepper spray . Special Operations Division ( SOD ) units are authorized to use a variety of non-standard weapons . The Counter Assault Team ( CAT ) and the Emergency Response Team ( ERT ) both use the 5.56 mm Knight 's Armament Company SR - 16 CQB assault rifle in an 11.5 '' configuration . CAT also deploys 12 gauge Remington 870 MCS breaching shotguns . Uniform Division technicians assigned to the Counter Sniper ( CS ) team use custom built . 300 Winchester Magnum - chambered bolt - action rifles referred to as JARs ( `` Just Another Rifle '' ) . These rifles are built with Remington 700 long actions in Accuracy International stocks and use Schmidt & Bender optics . CS technicians also use the 7.62 mm KAC SR - 25 / Mk11 Mod 0 semi-automatic sniper rifle with a Trijicon 5.5 × ACOG optic . Badges ( edit ) Secret Service badge ( 1875 - 1890 ) Secret Service badge ( 1890 - 1971 ) Secret Service badge ( 1971 - 2003 ) Secret Service badge ( 2003 - Present ) Attire ( edit ) Secret Service agent in business suit working President Obama 's protection detail . Special Agents and Special Officers of the Secret Service wear attire that is appropriate for their surroundings , in order to blend in as much as possible . In most circumstances , the attire of a close protection shift is a conservative suit , but it can range from a tuxedo to casual clothing as required by the environment . Stereotypically , Secret Service agents are often portrayed wearing reflective sunglasses and a communication earpiece . Often their attire is customized to conceal the wide array of equipment worn in service . Agents wear a distinctive lapel pin that identifies them to other agents . The attire for Uniformed Division Officers includes standard police uniforms or utility uniforms and ballistic / identification vests for members of the counter-sniper team , Emergency Response Team ( ERT ) , and canine officers . The shoulder patch of the Uniformed Division consists of the U.S. coat of arms on white or black , depending on the garment . Also , the shoulder patch is embroidered with `` U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division Police '' around the emblem . Vehicles ( edit ) When transporting the President in a motorcade , the Secret Service uses a fleet of custom - built armored Cadillac Parade Limousines , the newest and largest version of which is known as `` The Beast '' . Armored Chevrolet Suburbans are also used when logistics require such a vehicle or when a more low profile appearance is required . For official movement the limousine is affixed with U.S. and presidential flags and the presidential seal on the rear doors . For unofficial events the vehicles are left sterile and unadorned . Field offices ( edit ) Secret Service Field Offices Main article : List of United States Secret Service field offices The Secret Service has agents assigned to 136 field offices and field agencies , and the headquarters in Washington , D.C. The Service 's offices are located in cities throughout the United States and the world . The offices in Lyon and The Hague are respectively responsible for liaison with the headquarters of Interpol and Europol , located in those cities . Misconduct ( edit ) See also : 6th Summit of the Americas § U.S. security misconduct In April 2012 , an incident involving the president 's security detail received international press attention . The incident involved 11 agents and personnel from four branches of the U.S. military ; they allegedly engaged prostitutes while assigned to protect the U.S. President at the 6th Summit of the Americas in Cartagena , Colombia . As of April 24 , 2012 , nine employees had resigned or retired . After the incident was publicized , the Secret Service implemented new rules for its personnel . The rules prohibit personnel from visiting `` non-reputable establishments '' and from consuming alcohol fewer than ten hours before starting work . Additionally , they restrict who is allowed in hotel rooms . A few weeks later , stories emerged of Secret Service agents hiring strippers and prostitutes prior to Obama 's 2011 visit to El Salvador . In 2015 , two inebriated senior service agents drove an official car into the White House complex and collided with a barrier . One of the congressmen in the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that investigated that incident was Jason Chaffetz . In September 2015 , it was revealed that 18 Secret Service employees or supervisors , including Assistant Director Ed Lowery , accessed an unsuccessful 2003 application by Chaffetz for employment with the agency and discussed leaking the information to the media in retaliation for Chaffetz ' investigations of agency misconduct . The confidential personal information was later leaked to The Daily Beast . Agency Director Joe Clancy apologized to Chaffetz and said that disciplinary action would be taken against those responsible . In March 2017 , a member of US Vice President Mike Pence 's detail was suspended after he was caught visiting a prostitute at a hotel in Maryland .

Foreign language influences in English

Foreign language influences in English - wikipedia Foreign language influences in English Jump to : navigation , search According to one study , the percentage of modern English words derived from each language group are as follows : Latin ( including words used only in scientific / medical / legal contexts ) : ~ 29 % French : ~ 29 % Germanic : ~ 26 % Others : ~ 16 % The core of English language descends from Old English , the language brought with the Angles , Saxon , and Jutish settlers to what was to be called England in and after the 500s . The bulk of the language in spoken and written texts is from this source . As a statistical rule , around 70 percent of words in any text are Anglo - Saxon . Moreover , the grammar is largely Anglo - Saxon . A significant portion of the English vocabulary comes from Romance and Latinate sources . Estimates of native words ( derived from Old English ) range from 20 % -- 33 % , with the rest made up of outside borrowings . A portion of these borrowings come directly from Latin , or through one of the Romance languages , particularly Anglo - Norman and French , but some also from Italian , Portuguese , and Spanish ; or from other languages ( such as Gothic , Frankish or Greek ) into Latin and then into English . The influence of Latin in English , therefore , is primarily lexical in nature , being confined mainly to words derived from Latin roots . While some new words enter English as slang , most do not . Some words are adopted from other languages ; some are mixtures of existing words ( portmanteau words ) , and some are new creations made of roots from dead languages : e.g. , thanatopsis .

Williams in Origins of the English Language of 10,000 words taken from several thousand business letters gave this set of statistics : French ( langue d'oïl ) : 41 % `` Native '' English : 33 % Latin : 15 % Old Norse : 5 % Dutch : 1 % Other : 5 % Languages influencing the English language ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( May 2017 ) Here is a list of the most common foreign language influences in English , where other languages have influenced or contributed words to English . Celtic ( edit ) Main article : Lists of English words of Celtic origin Words are almost absent , except for dialectal words , such as the Yan Tan Tethera system of counting sheep . However , hypotheses have been made that English syntax was influenced by Celtic languages , such as the system of continuous tenses was a cliché of similar Celtic phrasal structures ; this is controversial , as the system has clear native English and other Germanic developments . French ( edit ) Main article : English words of French origin The French contributed legal , military , technological , and political terminology . Their language also contributed common words , such as the names of meats : veal , mutton , beef , pork , and how food was prepared : boil , broil , fry , roast , and stew ; as well as words related to the nobility : prince , duke , marquess , viscount , baron , and their feminine equivalents . Nearly 30 percent of English words ( in an 80,000 word dictionary ) may be of French origin . Latin ( edit ) Main article : Latin influence in English Scientific and technical words , medical terminology , academic and legal terminology . Greek ( edit ) See also : English words of Greek origin and List of Greek morphemes used in English Scientific and medical terminology ( for instance - phobias and - ologies ) , Christian theological terminology . Norman ( edit ) Castle , cauldron , kennel , catch , cater are among Norman words introduced into English . The Norman language also introduced ( or reinforced ) words of Norse origin such as mug . Dutch ( edit ) See also : List of English words of Dutch origin , List of place names of Dutch origin , Dutch linguistic influence on naval terms , and List of English words of Afrikaans origin There are many ways through which Dutch words have entered the English language : via trade and navigation , such as skipper ( from schipper ) , freebooter ( from vrijbuiter ) , keelhauling ( from kielhalen ) ; via painting , such as landscape ( from landschap ) , easel ( from ezel ) , still life ( from stilleven ) ; warfare , such as forlorn hope ( from verloren hoop ) , beleaguer ( from beleger ) , to bicker ( from bicken ) ; via civil engineering , such as dam , polder , dune ( from duin ) ; via the New Netherland settlements in North America , such as cookie ( from koekie ) , boss from baas , Santa Claus ( from Sinterklaas ) ; via Dutch / Afrikaans speakers with English speakers in South Africa , such as wildebeest , apartheid , boer ; via French words of Dutch / Flemish origin that have subsequently been adopted into English , such as boulevard ( from bolwerk ) , mannequin ( from manneken ) , buoy ( from boei ) . Spanish ( edit ) See also : List of English words of Spanish origin Words relating to warfare and tactics , for instance flotilla and guerrilla ; or related to science and culture , whether created in Arabic , originated in Amerindian civilizations ( Cariban : cannibal , hurricane ; Mescalero : apache ; Nahuatl : tomato , coyote , chocolate ; Quechua : potato ; Taíno : tobacco ) , or Iberian Romance languages ( aficionado , albino , alligator , cargo , cigar , embargo , guitar , jade , mesa , paella , platinum , plaza , renegade , rodeo , salsa , savvy , sierra , siesta , tilde , tornado , vanilla etc . ) . Italian ( edit ) See also : List of English words of Italian origin Words relating to some music , piano , fortissimo . Or Italian culture , such as piazza , pizza , gondola , balcony , fascism . The English word umbrella comes from Italian ombrello . Indian languages ( edit ) See also : List of English words of Hindi origin Words relating to culture , originating from the colonial era . Many of these words are of Persian origin rather than Hindi because Persian was the official language of the Mughal courts . e.g. , pyjamas , bungalow , verandah , jungle , curry , shampoo , khaki . German ( edit ) See also : List of German expressions in English German words relating to World War I and World War II found their way into the English language , words such as Blitzkrieg , Führer and Lebensraum ; food terms , such as bratwurst , hamburger and frankfurter ; words related to psychology and philosophy , such a gestalt , Übermensch , zeitgeist and realpolitik . From German origin are also : wanderlust , schadenfreude , kaputt , kindergarten , autobahn , rucksack . Old Norse ( edit ) See also : List of English words of Old Norse origin Words of Old Norse origin have entered English primarily from the contact between Old Norse and Old English during colonisation of eastern and northern England between the mid 9th to the 11th centuries ( see also Danelaw ) . Many of these words are part of English core vocabulary , such as egg , sky or knife . Hebrew and yiddish ( edit ) Words used in religious contexts , like Sabath , kosher , hallelujah , amen , and jubilee or words that have become slang like schmuck , shmooze , nosh , oy vey , and schmutz . Arabic ( edit ) See also : List of English words of Arabic origin Trade items such as borax , coffee , cotton , hashish , henna , mohair , muslin , saffron ; Islamic religious terms such as jihad , hadith and sharia ; scientific vocabulary borrowed into Latin in the 12th and 13th centuries ( alcohol , alkali , algebra , azimuth , cipher , nadir ) ; plants or plant products originating in tropical Asia and introduced to medieval Europe through Arabic intermediation ( camphor , jasmine , lacquer , lemon , orange , sugar ) ; Middle Eastern cuisine words ( couscous , falafel , hummus , kebab , tahini ) . Counting ( edit ) Cardinal numbering in English follows two models , Germanic and Italic . The basic numbers are zero through ten . The numbers eleven through nineteen follow native Germanic style , as do twenty , thirty , forty , fifty , sixty , seventy , eighty , and ninety . Standard English , especially in very conservative formal contexts , continued to use native Germanic style as late as World War I for intermediate numbers greater than 20 , viz. , `` one - and - twenty , '' `` five - and - thirty , '' `` seven - and - ninety , '' and so . But with the advent of the Industrial Revolution , the Latin tradition of counting as `` twenty - one , '' `` thirty - five , '' `` ninety - seven , '' etc. , which is easier to say and was already common in non-standard regional dialects , gradually replaced the traditional Germanic style to become the dominant style by the end of nineteenth century . Opposition ( edit ) Main article : Linguistic purism in English Linguistic purism in the English language is the belief that words of native origin should be used instead of foreign - derived ones ( which are mainly Romantic , Latin and Greek ) . `` Native '' can mean `` Anglo - Saxon '' or it can be widened to include all Germanic words . In its mild form , it merely means using existing native words instead of foreign - derived ones ( such as using `` begin '' instead of `` commence '' ) . In its more extreme form , it involves reviving native words that are no longer widely used ( such as `` ettle '' for `` intend '' ) and / or coining new words from Germanic roots ( such as word stock for vocabulary ) . This dates at least to the inkhorn term debate of the 16th and 17th century , where some authors rejected the foreign influence , and has continued to this day , being most prominent in Plain English advocacy to avoid Latinate terms if a simple native alternative exists .

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

Seven Brides for Seven brothers - Wikipedia Seven Brides for Seven brothers Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Seven Brides for Seven Brothers ( disambiguation ) . Seven Brides for Seven Brothers Theatrical release poster Directed by Stanley Donen Produced by Jack Cummings Screenplay by Albert Hackett Frances Goodrich Dorothy Kingsley Based on The Sobbin ' Women by Stephen Vincent Benét Starring Howard Keel Jane Powell Jeff Richards Matt Mattox Marc Platt Jacques d'Amboise Tommy Rall Russ Tamblyn Julie Newmar Ruta Lee Norma Doggett Virginia Gibson Betty Carr Nancy Kilgas Ian Wolfe Marjorie Wood Russell Simpson Howard Petrie Music by Gene de Paul Johnny Mercer Adolph Deutsch Saul Chaplin Cinematography George J. Folsey Edited by Ralph E. Winters Distributed by Metro -- Goldwyn -- Mayer Release date July 22 , 1954 ( 1954 - 07 - 22 ) Running time 102 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $2,540,000 Box office $9,403,000 Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is a 1954 musical film , photographed in Ansco Color in the CinemaScope format . The film was directed by Stanley Donen , with music by Saul Chaplin and Gene de Paul , lyrics by Johnny Mercer , and choreography by Michael Kidd . The screenplay , by Albert Hackett , Frances Goodrich , and Dorothy Kingsley , is based on the short story `` The Sobbin ' Women '' , by Stephen Vincent Benét , which was based in turn on the Ancient Roman legend of The Rape of the Sabine Women . Seven Brides for Seven Brothers , which is set in Oregon in 1850 , is particularly known for Kidd 's unusual choreography , which makes dance numbers out of such mundane frontier pursuits as chopping wood and raising a barn . Film critic Stephanie Zacharek has called the barn - raising sequence in Seven Brides `` one of the most rousing dance numbers ever put on screen . '' Seven Brides for Seven Brothers won the Academy Award for Best Scoring of a Musical Picture and was nominated for four additional awards , including Best Picture of the Year ( where it lost the award to Elia Kazan 's On the Waterfront ) . In 2006 , American Film Institute named Seven Brides for Seven Brothers as one of the best American musical films ever made .

Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. ( April 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) In 1850 , backwoodsman Adam Pontipee comes into a town in the Oregon Territory to search for a bride . Met with ridicule by some locals , he comes upon the local tavern where he meets Milly . Convinced of her worth by the quality of her cooking and her insistence on finishing her chores before she would leave with him , he proposes and she accepts despite knowing each other for only a few hours . On the journey home Milly talks about how she is excited to be cooking and taking care of only one man , visibly upsetting Adam . When they arrive at his cabin in the mountains , Milly is surprised to learn that Adam is one of seven brothers living under the same roof . The brothers have been named alphabetically from the Old Testament in order of birth : Adam , Benjamin , Caleb , Daniel , Ephraim , Frank ( short for frankincense , the Old Testament having no names beginning with F ) , and Gideon . All of the brothers have red hair and all but Gideon are well over six feet tall . Understandably sad about having to tend to the needs of not one , but seven men , and with an idea to solve the situation , a smart and reasonable Milly decides to marry Adam 's brothers off to some girls from the town . During an attempt to accomplish this , Milly teaches Adam 's rowdy , ill - behaved younger brothers some manners and social mores . She also shows them how to dance . At first , the brothers have a hard time changing from their `` mountain man '' ways , but eventually each comes to see that the only way he will get a woman of his own is to do things Milly 's way . They try out their new manners and make an attempt to begin courting the girls . This takes place at a social gathering in the town ( dance + barn - raising ) , where they meet six women they like -- Dorcas , Ruth , Martha , Liza , Sarah , and Alice . The girls take a fancy to the brothers as well . However , they already have suitors among the young men of the town , who jealously taunt the brothers into fighting during the barn - raising . At first the six brothers remember Milly 's teaching and try to resist being drawn into a fight by accepting physical indignities . Adam refuses to let himself be pushed around by the rival suitors and calls his younger brothers cowards for letting them get away with their behavior . The girls ' suitors from the town finally go too far when they attack Adam , provoking Gideon into fighting back . A free - for - all ensues in which the brothers dominate their physically weaker townie rivals . Although the Pontipees did not start the fight , they are banished from the town after demolishing the barn they were raising in the course of the brawl . Winter finds the six younger brothers pining for the girls for whom they had fallen fast and hard . Milly asks Adam to talk to the brothers as she fears they will want to leave because of missing the girls . Adam reads his brothers the story of `` The Sobbin ' Women '' ( taken from Plutarch 's story of the Sabine Women ) , one of the books Milly brought to the homestead . He tells them that they should stop moping around and take whatever action is necessary to get their women . Aided by Adam , the brothers kidnap the six girls , then cause an avalanche in Echo Pass so that they can not be followed by the townspeople . The only problem : they forgot to bring the parson to perform the marriages . Milly is furious with Adam , as are the six kidnapped women . Milly consigns the brothers to the barn `` with the rest of the livestock '' while the women live in the house . Adam , feeling betrayed by Milly 's reaction , leaves for the trapping cabin farther up the mountain to live out the winter by himself , unknowingly hurting Milly 's feelings . Soon after , Milly realizes that she is pregnant by Adam . The winter months slowly pass . The women vent their frustration and resentment by playing pranks on the brothers , such as hitting them with rock - filled snowballs and dumping basins of wash water on them . By spring , the women have forgiven their kidnappers and fallen in love with the brothers , who are now allowed to court them . Milly gives birth to a daughter , Hannah . Gideon rides to the cabin to inform Adam of his daughter 's arrival and asks him to come home . Adam refuses , saying that he had said he would return home only when the snow had melted enough that the pass was open to traffic . Having time to think about his baby daughter , Adam returns home in the spring just as Echo Pass is opening and reconciles with Milly . As a newly responsible father , he has become aware of how worried the townspeople would be about what has happened to the six abducted girls . Adam realizes he was wrong to tell his brothers to kidnap them . He tells his brothers they need to take the women back to their homes in town , but his brothers are unwilling . The six women also do not want to return to their homes ; they all want to stay at the farm with their new suitors and hide so they will not be taken back home . When Milly discovers that the women are not in the house , Adam tells his brothers to go after them and bring them back . The townspeople arrive with the intention of lynching the Pontipee brothers for the kidnappings . Upon finding the brothers trying to force the women to return , the fathers believe their daughters are being assaulted and charge to their rescue . Alice 's father ( Ian Wolfe ) , a preacher , hears baby Hannah cry in the distance , and worries that the baby might belong to one of the kidnapped girls . The fathers and other townsmen round up the Pontipees and announce they intend to hang them . Alice 's father , the Reverend Alcott , asks the women whose baby he had heard . They all decide , simultaneously , to claim the baby as their own . This misinformation gives the women and the brothers their wish : the townspeople , including the girls ' fathers , insist that all six couples marry at once in a shotgun wedding , performed by the parson while Adam and Milly watch and the fathers stand behind their daughters ' grooms , shotguns over their arms . Cast ( edit ) The Brothers and their Brides : Howard Keel as Adam and Jane Powell as Milly Jeff Richards as Benjamin and Julie Newmar ( Newmeyer ) as Dorcas Matt Mattox as Caleb and Ruta Lee ( Kilmonis ) as Ruth Marc Platt as Daniel and Norma Doggett as Martha Jacques d'Amboise as Ephraim and Virginia Gibson as Liza Tommy Rall as Frank and Betty Carr as Sarah Russ Tamblyn as Gideon and Nancy Kilgas as Alice Brothers ( edit ) To perform the dance numbers and action sequences , choreographer Michael Kidd wanted dancers to portray all six of Adam Pontipee 's brothers . Kidd said that he `` had to find a way to have these backwoods men dance without looking ridiculous . I had to base it all around activities you would accept from such people -- it could n't look like ballet . And it could only have been done by superbly trained dancers . '' However , he was able to integrate into the cast two non-dancer MGM contract players who were assigned to the film , Jeff Richards , who performed just the simpler dance numbers , and Russ Tamblyn , utilizing him in the dance numbers by exploiting his talents as a gymnast and tumbler . The other four brothers were portrayed by professional dancers -- Matt Mattox , Marc Platt , Tommy Rall , and Jacques d'Amboise . All four balanced on a beam together during their barn - raising dance . The wood - chopping scene in Lonesome Polecat was filmed in a single take .

He also danced in other musical films , including the ballet role of the Starlight Carnival `` barker '' in the film Carousel ( in which he partnered Susan Luckey in Louise 's ballet ) . The Academy Award and Tony Award winning documentary film , He Makes Me Feel Like Dancin ' is about Jacques d'Amboise and his teaching children how to dance . Frank ( red shirt ) : Tommy Rall , a professional dancer and singer , appeared on stage on Broadway and in many musical films . These included the role of Bill Calhoun ( Lucentio ) in the film version of Kiss Me Kate -- and as one of the Gallini brothers in the film Merry Andrew ( including him being one of the three featured acrobatic dancers in the circus engagement scene -- Tommy Rall is the dancer in the center wearing the red shirt ) . He was also in the film Funny Girl , in the role of the Prince who partnered Barbra Streisand in a parody of the ballet Swan Lake . Gideon ( blue shirt ) : Russ Tamblyn was cast in the role of youngest brother Gideon . Tamblyn showcased his gymnastics training throughout the action sequences .

Pete Perkins ( Howard Petrie ) is a leading citizen of the town where the Pontipees do their trading . Another longtime Hollywood character actor , he is also known for his role as Tom Hendricks in Bend of the River and as Mr. Lattimore , the prosecuting attorney in the Randolph Scott movie Rage At Dawn .

A longtime Hollywood actor with 244 movie and television credits to his name going well back into the silents in 1914 , his best known roles are as Pa Joad in The Grapes of Wrath , and Red Kelly in San Francisco . Harry ( Earl Barton ) Matt ( Dante DiPaolo ) Carl ( Kelly Brown ) Ruth 's Uncle ( Matt Moore ) Dorcas ' Father ( Dick Rich ) Production ( edit ) Choreographer Michael Kidd originally turned down the film , recalling in 1997 : `` Here are these slobs living off in the woods . They have no schooling , they are uncouth , there 's manure on the floor , the cows come in and out -- and they 're gon na get up and dance ? We 'd be laughed out of the house . '' Lyricist Johnny Mercer said that the musical numbers were written at Kidd 's behest , as an example `` of how a songwriter sometimes has to take his cue from his collaborators . '' For example , Kidd explained to Mercer and dePaul his conception of the `` Lonesome Polecat '' number , the lament of the brothers for the women , and the two worked out the music and lyrics . In his introduction to a showing on Turner Classic Movies on January 17 , 2009 , host Robert Osborne , as well as Jane Powell in her autobiography , The Girl Next Door , both say MGM was much less interested in Seven Brides than it was in Brigadoon which was also filming at the time , even cutting its budget and transferring the money to the Lerner and Loewe vehicle . Most of the movie was shot on the MGM sound stages . One exterior sequence not filmed at the studio was shot on location at Corral Creek Canyon in Sun Valley , Idaho . It was here that the escape following the brothers ' kidnapping their future brides and the avalanche that closed the pass was filmed . On the 2004 DVD commentary , Stanley Donen states that the film was originally shot in two versions , one in CinemaScope and another in normal ratio , because MGM was concerned that not all theaters had the capability to screen it . Despite the fact that it cost more than the widescreen version to make , he says , the other version was never used . However both versions are available on the 2004 DVD release . The dresses worn by the female cast were made from old quilts that costume designer Walter Plunkett found at the Salvation Army . Songs and music ( edit ) The `` Main Title '' is a medley of the songs `` Sobbin ' Women '' , `` Bless Your Beautiful Hide '' and `` Wonderful , Wonderful Day '' . In the film , Matt Mattox 's voice is dubbed in by Bill Lee on `` Lonesome Polecat '' . Mattox can be heard singing the song on the soundtrack album .

The Cowboys compete in the National Football League ( NFL ) as a member club of the league 's National Football Conference ( NFC ) East division . The team is headquartered in Frisco , Texas , and plays its home games at AT&T Stadium in Arlington , Texas , which opened for the 2009 season . The stadium took its current name prior to the 2013 season . The Cowboys joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1960 . The team 's national following might best be represented by its NFL record of consecutive sell - outs . The Cowboys ' streak of 190 consecutive sold - out regular and post-season games ( home and away ) began in 2002 . The franchise has made it to the Super Bowl eight times , tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Denver Broncos for second most Super Bowl appearances in history , just behind the New England Patriots record ten Super Bowl appearances . This has also corresponded to eight NFC championships , most in the NFC . The Cowboys have won five of those Super Bowl appearances , tying them with their NFC rivals , the San Francisco 49ers , and the AFC 's Patriots ; all three are second to Pittsburgh 's record six Super Bowl championships . The Cowboys are the only NFL team to record 20 straight winning seasons ( 1966 -- 85 ) , in which they only missed the playoffs twice ( 1974 and 1984 ) , an NFL record that remains unchallenged . In 2015 , the Dallas Cowboys became the first sports team to be valued at $4 billion , making it the most valuable sports team in the world , according to Forbes . The Cowboys also generated $620 million in revenue in 2014 , a record for a U.S. sports team .

Please consider splitting content into sub-articles , condensing it , or adding or removing subheadings . ( November 2015 ) 1960s Prior to the formation of the Dallas Cowboys , there had not been an NFL team south of Washington , D.C. since the Dallas Texans folded in 1952 . Oilman Clint Murchison Jr. had been trying to get an NFL expansion team in Dallas ( as was Lamar Hunt -- who ended up with an AFL franchise ) , but George Preston Marshall , owner of the Washington Redskins , had a monopoly in the South . Murchison had tried to purchase the Washington Redskins from Marshall in 1958 . An agreement was struck , but as the deal was about to be finalized , Marshall called for a change in terms . This infuriated Murchison and he called off the deal . Marshall then opposed any franchise for Murchison in Dallas . Since NFL expansion needed unanimous approval from team owners at that time , Marshall 's position would prevent Murchison from joining the league . Marshall had a falling out with the Redskins band leader Barnee Breeskin . Breeskin had written the music to the Redskins fight song `` Hail to the Redskins '' and Marshall 's wife had penned the lyrics . Breeskin owned the rights to the song and was aware of Murchison 's plight to get an NFL franchise . Angry with Marshall , Breeskin approached Murchison 's attorney to sell him the rights to the song before the expansion vote in 1959 . Murchison purchased `` Hail to the Redskins '' for $2,500 . Before the vote to award franchises in 1959 , Murchison revealed to Marshall that he owned the song and Marshall could not play it during games . After a few Marshall expletives , Murchison gave the rights to `` Hail to the Redskins '' to Marshall for his vote , the lone one against Murchison getting a franchise at that time , and a rivalry was born . 1970s The Cowboys playing against the Dolphins in Super Bowl VI . From 1970 through 1979 , the Cowboys won 105 regular season games , more than any other NFL franchise during that span . In addition , they appeared in 5 and won two Super Bowls , at the end of the 1971 and 1977 regular seasons . 1980s Danny White became the Cowboys ' starting quarterback in 1980 after quarterback Roger Staubach retired . Despite going to 12 -- 4 in 1980 , the Cowboys came into the playoffs as a Wild Card team . In the opening round of the 1980 -- 81 NFL playoffs they avenged their elimination from the prior year 's playoffs by defeating the Rams . In the Divisional Round they squeaked by the Atlanta Falcons 30 -- 27 . For the NFC Championship they were pitted against division rival Philadelphia , the team that won the division during the regular season . The Eagles captured their first conference championship and Super Bowl berth by winning 20 -- 7 . 1981 brought another division championship for the Cowboys . They entered the 1981 - 82 NFL playoffs as the number 2 seed . Their first game of the postseason saw them blowout and shutout Tampa Bay 38 -- 0 . For the Conference Title game they were pitted against the San Francisco 49ers , the number 1 seed . Despite having a late 4th quarter 27 -- 21 lead , they would lose to the 49ers 28 -- 27 . 49ers quarterback Joe Montana led his team to an 89 - yard game - winning touchdown drive connecting to Dwight Clark in a play known as The Catch . The Cowboys playing against the Broncos in Super Bowl XII . The 1982 season was shortened after a player strike . With a 6 -- 3 record Dallas made it to the playoffs for the 8th consecutive season . As the number 2 seed for the 1982 -- 83 NFL playoffs they eliminated the Buccaneers 30 -- 17 in the Wild Card round and dispatched the Packers 37 -- 26 in the Divisional round to advance to their 3rd consecutive Conference championship game . 3 times was not a charm for the Cowboys as they fell 31 -- 17 to division rival and eventual Super Bowl XVII champions Redskins . For the 1983 season the Cowboys went 12 -- 4 and made it once again to the playoffs but were defeated at home in the Wild Card by the Rams 24 -- 17 . Prior to the 1984 season , H.R. `` Bum '' Bright purchased the Dallas Cowboys from Clint Murchison Jr . Dallas posted a 9 -- 7 record that season but missed the playoffs for the first time in 10 seasons . After going 10 -- 6 in 1985 and winning a division title , the Cowboys were blown out in the Divisional round at home to the Rams 20 -- 0 . Hard times came for the organization as they went 7 -- 9 in 1986 , 7 -- 8 in 1987 , and 3 -- 13 in 1988 . During this time period Bright became disenchanted with the team . During the Savings and Loan crisis , the team and Mr. Bright 's Savings and Loan were taken over by the FSLIC . During an embarrassing home loss to Atlanta in 1987 , Bright told the media that he was `` horrified '' at coach Tom Landry 's play calling . The FSLIC forced Mr. Bright to sell the Cowboys to Jerry Jones on February 25 , 1989 . Jones immediately fired Tom Landry , the only head coach in franchise history , replacing him with University of Miami head coach Jimmy Johnson , who was also Jerry Jones ' teammate in University of Arkansas as a fellow defensive lineman and Michael Irvin was under his tutelage in college . With the first pick in the draft , the Cowboys selected UCLA quarterback Troy Aikman . Later that same year , they would trade veteran running back Herschel Walker to the Minnesota Vikings for five veteran players and eight draft choices . Although the Cowboys finished the 1989 season with a 1 -- 15 record , their worst in almost 30 years , `` The Trade '' later allowed Dallas to draft a number of impact players to rebuild the team . 1990s Johnson quickly returned the Cowboys to the NFL 's elite . Skillful drafts added fullback Daryl Johnston and center Mark Stepnoski in 1989 , running back Emmitt Smith in 1990 , defensive tackle Russell Maryland and offensive tackle Erik Williams in 1991 , and safety Darren Woodson in 1992 . The young talent joined holdovers from the Landry era such as wide receiver Michael Irvin , guard Nate Newton , linebacker Ken Norton Jr. , and offensive lineman Mark Tuinei , defensive lineman Jim Jeffcoat , and veteran pickups such as tight end Jay Novacek and defensive end Charles Haley . Five - time World Champions Mural Things started to look up for the franchise in 1990 . On Week 1 Dallas won their first home game since September 1988 when they defeated the San Diego Chargers 17 -- 14 . They went 2 -- 7 in their next 9 games but won 4 of their last 6 games to finish the season with a 4th place 7 -- 9 record . Coming into 1991 the Cowboys replaced offensive coordinator Dave Shula with Norv Turner ; the Cowboys raced to a 6 -- 5 start , then defeated the previously - unbeaten Redskins despite injury to Troy Aikman . Backup Steve Beuerlein took over and the Cowboys finished 11 -- 5 . In the Wild Card round they defeated the Bears 17 -- 13 for the Cowboys first playoff win since 1982 . In the Divisional round their season ended in a 38 -- 6 playoff rout by the Lions . In 1992 Dallas set a team record for regular season wins with a 13 -- 3 mark . They started off the season by defeating the defending Super Bowl champion Redskins 23 -- 10 . Going into the playoffs as the number 2 seed they had a first round bye before facing division rival the Philadelphia Eagles . The Cowboys won that game 34 -- 10 to advance to the NFC Conference Championship game for the first time in 10 years . They were pitted against the San Francisco 49ers , the number 1 seed . On January 17 , 1993 the Cowboys went to Candlestick Park and defeated the 49ers 30 -- 20 to clinch their first Super Bowl berth since 1978 . Dallas defeated the Buffalo Bills 52 -- 17 in Super Bowl XXVII , during which they forced a record nine turnovers . Johnson became the first coach to claim a national championship in college football and a Super Bowl victory in professional football . Despite starting the 1993 season 0 -- 2 , they again defeated the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXVIII , 30 -- 13 ( becoming the first team in NFL history to win a Super Bowl after starting 0 -- 2 ) . Dallas finished the regular season 12 -- 4 as the number 1 seed of the NFC . They defeated the Green Bay Packers 27 -- 17 in the divisional round . In the NFC Conference Championship , Dallas beat the 49ers in Dallas , 38 -- 21 . Dallas sent a then - NFL record 11 players to the Pro Bowl in 1993 : Aikman , safety Thomas Everett , Irvin , Johnston , Maryland , Newton , Norton , Novacek , Smith , Stepnoski and Williams . Dallas Cowboys championship banners inside AT&T Stadium Only weeks after Super Bowl XXVIII , however , friction between Johnson and Jones culminated in Johnson stunning the football world by announcing his resignation . Jones then hired former University of Oklahoma head coach Barry Switzer to replace Johnson . The Cowboys finished 12 -- 4 in 1994 . They once again clinched a first round bye and defeated Green Bay 35 -- 9 in the Divisional Round . They missed the Super Bowl , however , after losing to the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game , 38 -- 28 . Prior to the start of 1995 season Jerry Jones lured All - Pro cornerback Deion Sanders away from San Francisco . Dallas started the season 4 -- 0 including shutting out their division rival New York Giants 35 -- 0 at Giants Stadium to open their season . Emmitt Smith set an NFL record with 25 rushing touchdowns that season . They ended the season 12 -- 4 and went into the playoffs as the number 1 seed . In the Divisional round they dispatched their division rival Eagles 30 -- 11 to advance to their 4th consecutive NFC Conference Championship Game , in which they defeated Green Bay , 38 -- 27 . In Super Bowl XXX the Cowboys defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 27 -- 17 at Sun Devil Stadium for their fifth Super Bowl championship . Switzer joined Johnson as the only coaches to win a college football national championship and a Super Bowl . The glory days of the Cowboys were again beginning to dim as free agency , age , and injuries began taking their toll . Star receiver Michael Irvin was suspended by the league for the first five games of 1996 following a drug - related arrest ; he came back after the Cowboys started the season 2 -- 3 . They finished the regular season with a 10 -- 6 record , won the NFC East title , and entered the playoffs as the number 3 seed in the NFC . They defeated Minnesota 40 -- 15 in the Wild Card round but were eliminated in the Divisional round of the playoffs 26 -- 17 by the Carolina Panthers . The Cowboys went 6 -- 10 in 1997 ( including losing their last 6 games of the season ) , with discipline and off - field problems becoming major distractions . As a result , Switzer resigned as head coach in January 1998 and former Steelers offensive coordinator Chan Gailey was hired to take his place . Gailey led the team to two playoff appearances with a 10 -- 6 record in 1998 and an NFC East championship , but the Cowboys were defeated in the playoffs by the Arizona Cardinals 20 -- 7 . In 1999 Dallas went 8 -- 8 ( during which Irvin suffered a career - ending spinal injury in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles ) ending in another playoff loss ( this time to the Minnesota Vikings 27 -- 10 ) . Gailey was fired and became the first Cowboys coach who did not take the team to a Super Bowl . 2000 -- 09 Defensive coordinator Dave Campo was promoted to head coach for the 2000 season . Prior to the season starting cornerback Deion Sanders was released after 5 seasons with the team . He later signed with division rival Washington . In Week 1 , they were blown out 41 -- 14 by Philadelphia . That game was very costly when veteran quarterback Troy Aikman suffered a serious concussion which ultimately ended his career . Longtime NFL QB Randall Cunningham filled in for Aikman for the rest of the season at QB . The Cowboys finished the season in 4th place with a 5 -- 11 record . The only highlights of 2000 were Emmitt Smith having his 10th consecutive 1,000 yard rushing season and a season sweep over the Redskins . 2001 was another hard year in Dallas . Prior to the season starting Aikman was released from the team and he retired due to the concussions he had received . Jerry Jones signed Tony Banks as a QB . Banks had been a starter for half of the season the previous year for the Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens before being benched . Jones also drafted QB Quincy Carter in the second round of that year 's draft , but Banks was released during the preseason . Ryan Leaf , Anthony Wright , and Clint Stoerner all competed for the quarterback position that season . Dallas again finished at 5 -- 11 , last place in the NFC East . They did sweep the Redskins for the 4th consecutive season . Prior to the 2002 season Dallas drafted safety Roy Williams with the 8th overall pick . The season started out low as the Cowboys lost to the expansion Houston Texans 19 -- 10 on Week 1 . By far the highlight of 2002 was on October 28 , when during a home game against the Seattle Seahawks , Emmitt Smith broke the all - time NFL rushing record previously held by Walter Payton . Their Thanksgiving Day win over the Redskins was their 10th consecutive win against Washington . However , that was their final win of 2002 : Dallas lost their next 4 games to finish with another last place 5 -- 11 record . The losing streak was punctuated with a Week 17 20 -- 14 loss against Washington . That game was Smith 's last game as a Cowboys player : he was released during the offseason . Campo was immediately fired as head coach at the conclusion of the season . Jones then lured Bill Parcells out of retirement to coach the Cowboys . The Cowboys became the surprise team of the 2003 season getting off to a hot 7 -- 2 season , but went 3 -- 4 for the rest of the season . They were able to win the division with a 10 -- 6 record but lost in the Wild Card round to eventual conference champion Carolina Panthers 29 -- 10 . In 2004 Dallas was unable to replicate their 2003 success , and ended 6 -- 10 . Quincy Carter was released during the preseason and was replaced at QB by Vinny Testaverde . Dallas got off to a hot 7 -- 3 start for the 2005 season but ended the season in 3rd place with a 9 -- 7 record . Prior to the season starting the Cowboys signed veteran Drew Bledsoe as a quarterback . 2006 was an interesting year for the Cowboys . Prior to the season Dallas signed free agent wide receiver Terrell Owens who was talented yet controversial . The Cowboys started the season 3 -- 2 . During a week 7 matchup against the Giants , Bledsoe , who had been struggling since the start of the season , was pulled from the game and was replaced by backup Tony Romo . Romo was unable to salvage that game and Dallas lost 38 -- 22 . However , Romo was named the starter for team and went 5 -- 1 in his first 6 games . Dallas ended the season with a 9 -- 7 2nd - place finish . They were able to clinch the number 5 playoff seed . They traveled to play Seattle where the Seahawks won 21 -- 20 .

The Cowboys lost in the divisional round 21 -- 17 to the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants . In the tumultuous 2008 season , the Cowboys started off strong , going 3 -- 0 for the second straight year , en route to a 4 -- 1 start . However , things soon went downhill from there , after quarterback Tony Romo suffered a broken pinkie in an overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals . With Brad Johnson and Brooks Bollinger playing as backups , Dallas went 1 -- 2 during a three - game stretch . Romo 's return showed promise , as Dallas went 3 -- 0 .

Entering December , the 8 -- 4 Cowboys underperformed , finishing 1 -- 3 .

Despite entering December with a record of 8 -- 3 , Dallas lost its slim grip on 1st place in the division with losses to the New York Giants and San Diego . Talks of past December collapses resurfaced , and another collapse in 2009 seemed validated . However , the Dallas team surged in the final three weeks of the season with a 24 -- 17 victory at the Superdome , ending New Orleans ' previously unbeaten season in week 15 . For the first time in franchise history , Dallas posted back - to - back shutouts when they beat division rivals Washington ( 17 -- 0 ) and Philadelphia ( 24 -- 0 ) to end the season .

The Cowboys held the lead through most of the game , until a fumble , blocked punt , and interception led to the Jets coming back to win the game . In week 2 Dallas traveled to San Francisco to play the 49ers . In the middle of the 2nd quarter , while the Cowboys trailed 10 -- 7 , Tony Romo suffered a rib injury and was replaced by Jon Kitna . Kitna threw 1 Touchdown and 2 interceptions until Romo returned in the 3rd quarter as Dallas trailed 17 -- 7 . Romo then threw 3 touchdown passes to Miles Austin as the Cowboys rallied to send the game into overtime . On the Cowboys opening possession after 49ers punt , Romo found WR Jesse Holley on a 78 - yard pass , which set up the game - winning field goal by rookie kicker Dan Bailey . Dallas ended the season 8 -- 8 . They were in a position to win the NFC East but lost to the Giants in a Week 17 primetime Sunday Night game on NBC which allowed New York to win the division .

They were very successful in division games having a 5 -- 0 division record heading into another Week 17 showdown for the NFC East crown against the Eagles . That included beating Washington 24 -- 23 on Week 16 thanks to late game heroics of Tony Romo . However Romo received a severe back injury in that game which prematurely ended his season . The Cowboys called upon backup QB Kyle Orton to lead them into battle on the final week of the season . Orton was unsuccessful who threw a game ending interception to the Eagles which allowed Philly to win 24 -- 22 . Dallas ended the year at 8 -- 8 for the third year in a row . The only difference of this 8 -- 8 ending compared to the others was that Dallas ended the season in second place compared to the 2 previous 3rd - place finishes . 2014 Main article : 2014 Dallas Cowboys season To start off the 2014 season Dallas began by losing to San Francisco 28 -- 17 . After that they went on a 6 - game winning streak . The highlight of this streak was defeating the Seahawks at CenturyLink Field 30 -- 23 . In Week 8 , the Redskins won in overtime 20 -- 17 , and Romo 's back became once again injured . He missed next week , a home loss to the Arizona Cardinals 28 -- 17 with backup QB Brandon Weeden .

The Eagles got off to a fast start and the Cowboys were unable to catch up , losing 33 -- 10 . They would rebound the next week where on the road Thursday night game they defeated Chicago 41 -- 28 for their 9th win of the year to clinch their first winning season since 2009 . This was the first time that Dallas played on back to back Thursdays . Week 15 was a rematch against 1st place Philadelphia . This time it was the Cowboys who got off to a fast start going up 21 -- 0 . Then the Eagles put up 24 answered points but Dallas came back to win 38 -- 27 to go into first place for the first time in the season and improve to 10 -- 4 . Going into their Week 16 matchup at home against Indianapolis , Dallas was in a position to clinch their first division title since 2009 by defeating the Colts thanks to the Eagles losing that week to the Redskins . They would not disappoint as they blew out the Colts 42 -- 7 to become the 2014 NFC East Champions , eliminating the Eagles from the playoffs . Dallas would end the regular season with a 12 -- 4 record and an 8 -- 0 away record when they won on the road against Washington 44 -- 17 . They would also finish December 4 -- 0 which was huge for the Cowboys since they had struggled in the recent years in the month of December . On January 4 , 2015 , the Cowboys , as the number 3 seed , hosted the number 6 seed Detroit Lions in the wild card round of the NFL playoffs . In the game , the Lions got off to a hot start , going up 14 -- 0 in the first quarter . Dallas initially struggled on both sides of the ball . However , towards the end of the second quarter Romo threw a 76 - yard touchdown pass to Terrance Williams . Matt Prater of the Lions would kick a field goal before halftime to go up 17 -- 7 . Dallas came out swinging to start the second half by picking off Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford on the first play of the third quarter . However , the Cowboys failed to capitalize on the turnover , as Dan Bailey missed a field goal during Dallas 's ensuing drive . Detroit then kicked another field goal to make the score 20 -- 7 . A DeMarco Murray touchdown later in that quarter closed the gap to 20 -- 14 . A 51 - yard Bailey field goal almost 3 minutes into the fourth quarter trimmed the Cowboys ' deficit to 3 . The Lions got the ball back and started driving down the field . On 3rd down - and - 1 of that Lions drive , Stafford threw a 17 - yard pass intended for Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew , but the ball hit Cowboys linebacker Anthony Hitchens in the back a fraction of a second before he ran into Pettigrew . The play was initially flagged as defensive pass interference against Hitchens . However , the penalty was then nullified by the officiating crew . The Cowboys got the ball back on their 41 - yard line and had a successful 59 - yard drive which was capped off by an 8 - yard touchdown pass from Romo to Williams to give the Cowboys their first lead of the game at 24 -- 20 . The Lions got the ball back with less than 2 : 30 to play in regulation . Stafford fumbled the ball at the 2 minute mark . The fumble was recovered by Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence , who then fumbled the ball which was recovered by the Lions . Lawrence would redeem himself by sacking Stafford on a 4th down - and - 3 play . The sack led to Stafford fumbling the ball again , which Lawrence recovered to seal the game for the Cowboys , who won 24 -- 20 . This was the first time in franchise playoff history that Dallas had been down by 10 or more points at halftime and rallied to win the game . The following week , the Cowboys traveled to Lambeau Field in Green Bay , Wisconsin to play the Packers in the divisional round . Despite having a 14 -- 7 halftime lead , the Cowboys fell to the Packers 26 -- 21 , thus ending their season . The season ended on an overturned call of a completed catch by Dez Bryant . The catch was challenged by the Packers , and the referees overturned the call because of the `` Calvin Johnson rule . '' During the 2015 offseason the Cowboys allowed running back DeMarco Murray to become a free agent . Murray signed with the division rival Philadelphia Eagles . On July 15 wide receiver Dez Bryant signed a 5 - year , $70 million contract . 2015 Main article : 2015 Dallas Cowboys season At home against the New York Giants , Dallas won 27 -- 26 . Dez Bryant left the game early with a fractured bone in his foot . On the road against the Philadelphia Eagles , Romo suffered a broken left collarbone , the same one he injured in 2010 , and Brandon Weeden replaced him . Dallas won 20 -- 10 to begin the season 2 -- 0 , but then went on a seven - game losing streak . Dallas finished the season 4 -- 12 and last in their division . 2016 Main article : 2016 Dallas Cowboys season After a preseason injury to Tony Romo , rookie quarterback Dak Prescott was slated as the starting quarterback , as Romo was expected to be out 6 -- 8 weeks . In game 1 against the New York Giants , Dallas lost 20 -- 19 . After this loss , Dallas would go on an eleven - game winning streak . After much speculation leading to a potential quarterback controversy , Romo made an announcement that Prescott has earned the right to take over as Cowboys quarterback . In game 10 , Romo suited up for the first time this season and was the backup quarterback . Dallas defeated the Baltimore Ravens to win their 9th straight game , breaking a franchise record of 8 straight games set in 1977 . It also marked rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott breaking Tony Dorsett 's single season rushing record for a Cowboys rookie . Prescott also tied an NFL rookie record held by Russell Wilson and Dan Marino by throwing multiple touchdowns in 5 straight games . Dallas finished 13 -- 3 , tying their best 16 - game regular season record . While Dallas defeated Green Bay at Lambeau Field in week 6 , the Packers would win at AT&T Stadium in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs on a last - second field goal , ending their season . Dak Prescott was named NFL Rookie of the Year in the NFL honors on February 4 , 2017 , and Ezekiel Elliott led the league in rushing yards . Both Prescott and Elliott made the 2017 Pro Bowl . This is the first time the Cowboys sent two rookies to the Pro Bowl . 2017 Main article : 2017 Dallas Cowboys season 2017 was the first season since 2002 without quarterback Tony Romo , who retired on April 4 after 14 seasons with the Cowboys .

The suspension was to begin at the start of the year but was pushed back to November . The Cowboys finished the year at 9 - 7 without making the playoffs . Logos and uniforms Logo The Cowboys ' script logo . The Dallas Cowboys ' blue star logo , representative of Texas as `` The Lone Star State '' , is one of the most well - known team logos in professional sports . The blue star originally was a solid shape until a white line and blue border was added in 1964 . The logo has remained the same since . Today , the blue star has been extended to not only the Dallas Cowboys , but owner Jerry Jones ' AFL team , the Dallas Desperados that have a similar logo based on the Cowboys . The blue star also is used on other entries like an imaging facility and storage facility . Uniforms The Dallas Cowboys ' white home jersey has royal blue ( PMS 287 C ) solid socks , numbers , lettering , and two stripes on the sleeves outlined in black . The home pants are a common metallic silver - green color ( PMS 8280 C ) that help bring out the blue in the uniform . The navy ( PMS 289 C ) road jerseys ( nicknamed the `` Stars and Stripes '' jersey ) have white lettering and numbers with navy pinstripes . A white / gray / white stripe are on each sleeve as well as the collared V - neck , and a Cowboys star logo is placed upon the stripes . A `` Cowboys '' chest crest is directly under the NFL shield . The away pants are a pearlish metallic - silver color ( PMS 8180 C ) and like the home pants , enhance the navy in the uniforms . The team uses a serifed font for the lettered player surnames on the jersey nameplates . The team 's helmets are also a unique silver with a tint of blue known as `` Metallic Silver Blue '' ( PMS 8240 C ) and have a blue / white / blue vertical stripe placed upon the center of the crown . The Cowboys also include a unique , if subtle , feature on the back of the helmet : a blue strip of Dymo tape with the player 's name embossed , placed on the white portion of the stripe at the back of the helmet . Front of Dallas Cowboys helmet Back of Dallas Cowboys helmet Uniform history When the Dallas Cowboys franchise debuted in 1960 , the team 's uniform included a white helmet adorned with a simple blue star and a blue - white - blue stripe down the center crown . The team donned blue jerseys with white sleeves and a small blue star on each shoulder for home games and the negative opposite for away games . Their socks also had two horizontal white stripes overlapping the blue . c1960 -- 1963 Blue home uniforms White away uniforms In 1964 the Cowboys opted for a simpler look ( adopting essentially the team 's current uniform ) by changing their jersey / socks to one solid color with three horizontal stripes on the sleeves ; the white jersey featured royal blue stripes with a narrow black border , the royal blue jersey white stripes with the same black outline . The star - shouldered jerseys were eliminated ; `` TV '' numbers appeared just above the jersey stripes . The new helmet was silverblue , with a blue - white - blue tri-stripe down the center ( the middle white stripe was thicker ) . The blue `` lone star '' logo was retained , but with a white border setting it off from the silver / blue . The new pants were silverblue , with a blue - white - blue tri-stripe . In 1964 the NFL allowed teams to wear white jerseys at home ; several teams did so , and the Cowboys have worn white at home ever since , except on certain `` throwback '' days . In 1966 , the team modified the jerseys , which now featured only two sleeve stripes , slightly wider ; the socks followed the same pattern . In 1967 the `` lone star '' helmet decal added a blue outline to the white - bordered star , giving the logo a bigger , bolder look . The logo and this version of the uniform has seen little change to the present day . c1964 -- 1966 White home uniforms Blue away uniforms The only notable changes in the last 40 years were : from 1970 -- 1973 when the `` TV '' numbers were moved from the shoulders to the sleeves above the stripes from 1982 -- 1988 the pants featured a white uniform number in an elliptical blue circle worn near the hip . the removal of the indented serifs on the front and back jersey numbers in the early 1980s ( seen currently on the throwback jersey ) In 1980 the blue jersey was rendered in a slightly darker shade than the 1964 -- 79 version ; from 1981 -- 1994 the dark jerseys sported numbers that were gray with white borders and a blue pinstripe . The stripes on the sleeves and socks also used the same gray with white border scheme ( sans navy pinstripe ) . Player names on jersey backs , which appeared in 1970 , were originally in block - letter style ; from 1982 onward the names were slightly smaller and in footed , `` serif '' style . the 1996 addition of the word `` Cowboys '' in the center of the neckline which lasted until 1998 on the white jersey but currently remains on the blue jersey . During the 1976 season , the blue - white - blue stripe on the crown of the helmets were temporarily changed to red - white - blue to commemorate the United States ' bicentennial anniversary . The `` throwback '' NFL 75th Anniversary uniform was introduced in 1994 . In 1994 , the NFL celebrated their 75th Anniversary , and the Dallas Cowboys celebrated their back - to - back Super Bowl titles by unveiling a white `` Double - Star '' jersey on Thanksgiving Day . This jersey was used for special occasions and was worn throughout the 1994 -- 1995 playoffs . During the same season , the Cowboys also wore their 1960 -- 63 road jersey with a silver helmet for one game as part of a league - wide `` throwback '' policy . During the 1995 season , the team wore the navy `` Double - Star '' jersey for games at Washington and Philadelphia and permanently switched to solid color socks ( royal blue for the white uniform , and navy blue for the dark uniform ) . The navy `` Double - Star '' jersey was not seen again until the NFL 's Classic Throwback Weekend on Thanksgiving Day 2001 -- 2003 . In 2004 , the Cowboys resurrected their original 1960 -- 1963 uniform on Thanksgiving Day . This uniform became the team 's alternate or `` third jersey '' and was usually worn at least once a year , primarily Thanksgiving Day . Two exceptions were when the Cowboys wore their normal white uniforms on Thanksgiving in 2007 and 2008 . While the team did n't wear the throwback uniform exactly on Thanksgiving Day in those two years , Dallas wore them on a date around Thanksgiving for those two years . In 2007 Dallas wore the throwback uniform on November 29 , 2007 against the Green Bay Packers . In 2008 Dallas wore the throwback uniform on November 23 , 2008 against the San Francisco 49ers . The team went back to wearing this uniform at home on Thanksgiving Day in 2009 while their opponent was the Oakland Raiders who wore their AFL Legacy Weekend throwbacks . Dallas wore this alternate uniform on October 11 , 2009 as part of one of the NFL 's AFL Legacy Weekends when they traveled to Kansas City to play the Chiefs who were sporting their AFL Dallas Texans ' uniforms . This created a rare game in which neither team wore a white jersey and the first time the Cowboys wore the alternative uniform as a visiting team . The 1960 -- 1963 uniform may also be used on other special occasion . Other instances include the 2005 Monday Night game against the Washington Redskins when the team inducted Troy Aikman , Emmitt Smith , and Michael Irving into the Cowboys Ring of Honor , and the 2006 Christmas Day game against the Philadelphia Eagles . In 2013 , the NFL issued a new helmet rule stating that players will no longer be allowed to use alternate helmets due to the league 's enhanced concussion awareness . This caused the Cowboys ' white 1960s throwback helmets to become non-compliant . The team instead decided to wear their normal blue jerseys at home for Thanksgiving , which has since become an annual tradition . In 2017 , the team initially announced that they will wear blue jerseys at home on a more regular basis , only to rescind soon after . In 2015 , the Cowboys released their Color Rush uniform , featuring a variation of the 1990s `` Double Star '' alternates with white pants and socks . The uniform was first used in a Thanksgiving game against the Carolina Panthers and in subsequent Thursday Night Football games during the 2016 and 2017 seasons . The Cowboys also unveiled a navy uniform - white pants combination which was first used on December 10 , 2017 against the Giants . Home / road jersey history In 1964 , Tex Schramm started the tradition of the Cowboys wearing their white jersey at home , contrary to an unofficial rule that teams should wear colored jerseys at home . Schramm did this because he wanted fans to see a variety of opponents ' colors at home games . Since then , a number of other teams have worn their white uniforms at home , including the Miami Dolphins . According to Mike McCord , the Cowboys ' equipment director , one of the reasons why the Cowboys started wearing white at home was because of the intense heat during Cowboys ' home games at Texas Stadium . Roger Staubach and Bob Lilly jerseys shown at Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton , Ohio . Throughout the years , the Cowboys ' blue jersey has been popularly viewed to be `` jinxed '' because the team often seemed to lose when they wore them . This purported curse drew attention after the team lost Super Bowl V with the blue jerseys . However , the roots of the curse likely date back earlier to the 1968 divisional playoffs , when the blue - shirted Cowboys were upset by the Cleveland Browns in what turned out to be Don Meredith 's final game with the Cowboys . Dallas 's lone victory in a conference championship or Super Bowl wearing the blue jerseys was in the 1978 NFC Championship game against the Los Angeles Rams . Since the 1970 NFL - AFL merger , league rules were changed to allow the Super Bowl home team to pick their choice of jersey . Most of the time , Dallas will wear their blue jerseys when they visit Washington , Philadelphia ( sometimes ) , Miami , or one of the handful of other teams that traditionally wear their white jerseys at home during the first half of the season due to the hot climates in their respective cities or other means . Occasionally opposing teams will wear their white jerseys at home to try to invoke the curse , such as when the Philadelphia Eagles hosted the Cowboys in the 1980 NFC Championship Game , as well as their November 4 , 2007 meeting . Various other teams followed suit in the 1980s . Although Dallas has made several tweaks to their blue jerseys over the years , Schramm said he did not believe in the curse . Since the league began allowing teams to use an alternate jersey , the Cowboys ' alternates have been primarily blue versions of past jerseys and the Cowboys have generally had success when wearing these blue alternates . With the implementation of the 2013 NFL helmet rule for alternate jerseys , the team decided instead to wear their regular blue jerseys for their Thanksgiving game , something they have not done at home since Schramm started the white - jersey - at - home tradition . Thanksgiving Day uniforms With the Cowboys traditionally hosting Thanksgiving Day games , separate uniform practices have been used for these games in recent years . Through the 2000 season , the Cowboys continued the usual practice of wearing white at home . In 2001 , the Cowboys wore blue at home for the first time in years , but it was an older design of the blue jersey . Dallas would lose the game , but again wore the older blue jersey at home on Thanksgiving the next year and won . With the 2002 victory , it seems an exception the theory of the blue jersey jinx is invoked on Thanksgiving . Thus , the Cowboys continued wearing blue at home on Thanksgiving from 2003 -- 2006 , however it was always an older - styled blue jersey . In 2007 and 2008 , the Cowboys returned to wearing white at home for their Thanksgiving game . Since 2009 , the Cowboys returned to wearing blue at home on Thanksgiving only ( From 2009 -- 2012 , the team again decided to go with an older - styled blue uniform as they had in previous years on Thanksgiving , and since 2013 have worn the newer - styled blue jersey ) . In the 2015 season , the Cowboys wore their Color Rush variation of the 1990s `` Double Star '' jerseys for a Thanksgiving game against the Carolina Panthers . Stadiums Cotton Bowl Main article : Cotton Bowl ( stadium ) The main entrance of the Cotton Bowl The Cotton Bowl is a stadium which opened in 1932 and became known as `` The House That Doak Built '' due to the immense crowds that former SMU running back Doak Walker drew to the stadium during his college career in the late 1940s . Originally known as the Fair Park Bowl , it is located in Fair Park , site of the State Fair of Texas . Concerts or other events using a stage allow the playing field to be used for additional spectators . The Cotton Bowl was the longtime home of the annual Cotton Bowl Classic college football bowl game , for which the stadium is named . ( Beginning with the January 2010 game , the Cotton Bowl Classic has been played at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington . ) The Dallas Cowboys called the Cotton Bowl home for 11 years , from the team 's formation in 1960 until 1971 , when the Cowboys moved to Texas Stadium . It is the only Cowboys stadium within the Dallas city limits . The Cowboys hosted the Green Bay Packers for the 1966 NFL Championship at the Cotton Bowl . Texas Stadium Main article : Texas Stadium The outside of Texas Stadium For the majority of the franchise 's history the Cowboys played their home games at Texas Stadium . Just outside the city of Dallas , the stadium was located in Irving , Texas . The stadium opened on October 24 , 1971 , at a cost of $35 million and with a seating capacity of 65,675 . The stadium was famous for its hole - in - the - roof dome . The roof 's worn paint had become so unsightly in the early 2000s that it was repainted in the summer of 2006 by the City of Irving . It was the first time the famed roof was repainted since Texas Stadium opened . The roof was structurally independent from the stadium it covered . The Cowboys lost their final game at Texas Stadium to the Baltimore Ravens , 33 -- 24 , on December 20 , 2008 . After Cowboys Stadium was opened in 2009 , the Cowboys turned over the facility to the City of Irving . In 2009 , it was replaced as home of the Cowboys by Cowboys Stadium , which officially opened on May 27 , 2009 in Arlington , Texas . Texas Stadium was demolished by implosion on April 11 , 2010 . AT&T Stadium Main article : AT&T Stadium AT&T Stadium during a game AT&T Stadium , previously named Cowboys Stadium , is a domed stadium with a retractable roof in Arlington , Texas . After failed negotiations to build a new stadium on the site of the Cotton Bowl , Jerry Jones along with the city of Arlington , Texas a suburb of Fort Worth , funded the stadium at a cost of $1.3 billion . The stadium is located in Tarrant County , the first time the Cowboys will call a stadium home outside of Dallas County . It was completed on May 29 , 2009 and seats 80,000 , but is expandable to seat up to 100,000 . AT&T Stadium is the largest domed stadium in the world . A highlight of AT&T Stadium is its gigantic , center - hung high - definition television screen , the largest in the world . The 160 by 72 feet ( 49 by 22 m ) , 11,520 - square - foot ( 1,070 m ) scoreboard surpasses the 8,736 sq ft ( 812 m ) screen that opened in 2009 at the renovated Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City , Missouri as the world 's largest . At the debut pre-season game of Cowboys Stadium , a punt by Tennessee Titans kicker , A.J. Trapasso , hit the 2,100 in . screen above the field . The punt deflected and was ruled in - play until Titans coach Jeff Fisher informed the officials that the punt struck the scoreboard . ( Many believe Trapasso was trying to hit the suspended scoreboard , based on replays and the angle of the kick . ) The scoreboard is , however , within the regulation of the NFL guidelines -- hanging approximately five feet above the minimum height . No punts hit the scoreboard during the entire 2009 regular season during an actual game . Also , on August 22 , 2009 , the day after AJ Trapasso hit the screen , many fans touring the facility noted that half of the field was removed with large cranes re-positioning the screen . According to some fans , a tour guide explained that Jerry Jones invited a few professional soccer players to drop kick soccer balls to try to hit the screen . Once he observed them hitting it consistently he had the screen moved up another 10 feet . The first regular season home game of the 2009 season was against the New York Giants . A league record - setting 105,121 fans showed up to fill Cowboys Stadium for the game before which the traditional `` blue star '' at the 50 - yard line was unveiled for the first time ; however , the Cowboys lost in the final seconds , 33 -- 31 . The Cowboys got their first regular season home win on September 28 , 2009 . They beat the Carolina Panthers 21 -- 7 with 90,588 in attendance . The game was televised on ESPN 's Monday Night Football and marked a record 42nd win for the Cowboys on Monday Night Football . On July 25 , 2013 , the Cowboys announced that AT&T will take over the naming rights for the stadium .

Three of the four teams have been division rivals since the Cowboys ' entry into the NFL . As such , the Cowboys have some of the longest and fiercest rivalries in the sport . Washington Redskins Main article : Cowboys -- Redskins rivalry The Redskins and Dallas Cowboys enjoy what has been called by Sports Illustrated the top NFL rivalry of all time and `` one of the greatest in sports . '' Some sources trace the enmity to before the Cowboys were even formed , due to a longstanding disagreement between Redskins owner George Preston Marshall and Cowboys founder Clint Murchison Jr. over the creation of a new football team in the South , due to Preston 's TV monopoly in that region . The two teams ' storied on - field rivalry goes back to 1960 when the two clubs first played each other , resulting in a 26 -- 14 Washington victory . Since that time , the two teams have met in 116 regular season contests and two NFC Championships . Dallas leads the regular season all - time series 70 -- 42 -- 2 , and the Redskins lead the all - time playoff series 2 -- 0 . The Cowboys currently have a 14 -- 7 advantage over the Redskins at FedEx Field . Some notable moments in the rivalry include Washington 's victory over Dallas in the 1982 NFC Championship and the latter 's 1989 win over the Redskins for their only victory that season . The last Cowboys game with Tom Landry as coach was a win over Washington on December 11 , 1988 . In the 2010s , the Redskins have struggled to consistently compete for the Division title , but still play the Cowboys particularly tough , posting an impressive upset victory against Dallas in 2014 , despite being outclassed by the Cowboys in the overall standings . Philadelphia Eagles Main article : Cowboys -- Eagles rivalry The competition with Philadelphia has been particularly intense since the late 1970s , when the long - moribund Eagles returned to contention . In January 1981 , the two teams faced off in the NFC Championship , with Philadelphia winning 20 -- 7 . A series of other factors heightened tensions during the 1980s and 1990s , including several provocative actions by Philadelphia fans and Eagles head coach Buddy Ryan . Among these were the 1989 `` Bounty Bowls '' , in which Ryan allegedly placed a bounty on Dallas kicker Luis Zendejas and Veterans Stadium fans pelted the Cowboys with snowballs and other debris . A 1999 game at Philadelphia saw Eagles fans cheering as Michael Irvin lay motionless and possibly paralyzed on the field . In 2008 the rivalry became more intense when in the last game of the year in which both teams could clinch a playoff spot with a victory , the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Cowboys 44 -- 6 . The following season , the Cowboys avenged that defeat by beating the Eagles three times : twice during the regular season to claim the title as NFC East champions and once more in a wild - card playoff game by a combined score of 78 -- 30 , including a 24 -- 0 shutout in week 17 . That three game sweep was Dallas ' first over any opponent and the longest winning streak against the Eagles since 1992 -- 1995 when Dallas won seven straight matches against Philadelphia . During the 2013 season Dallas won the first meeting 17 -- 3 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia . They would meet again in Week 17 at AT&T Stadium with the winner clinching the 2013 NFC East title . The Cowboys came into the game at a disadvantage with starting quarterback Tony Romo out with a season ending back injury which put backup Kyle Orton as the starter . It was a tight game with the Eagles up 24 -- 22 with less than 2 minutes to go in regulation . Orton got the ball and started driving down the field when he was intercepted by the Eagles defense , which ended the game and the Cowboys season . In 2014 , the Cowboys and Eagles both won against each other on the road , with Philadelphia posting a dominant 33 -- 10 win on Thanksgiving Day in Dallas , and Dallas returning the favor two weeks later by defeating the Eagles 38 -- 27 in Philadelphia . The second game between these rivals clenched a playoff spot for Dallas and led to formerly first place Philadelphia missing out on the post-season . Dallas leads the regular season all - time series 63 -- 50 . New York Giants Main article : Cowboys -- Giants rivalry The first game ever played between the Giants and Cowboys was a 31 -- 31 tie on December 4 , 1960 . Dallas logged its first win in the series on October 29 , 1961 and New York 's first was on November 11 , 1962 . Among the more notable moments in the rivalry was the Giants ' defeat of Dallas in the 2007 playoffs en route to their victory in Super Bowl XLII and winning the first regular season game played at Cowboys Stadium in 2009 . Dallas currently leads the all - time series 64 -- 45 -- 2 . Pittsburgh Steelers Main article : Cowboys -- Steelers rivalry The two teams met in the first regular season game the Cowboys ever played in 1960 ( a 35 -- 28 loss to the Steelers ) , the first - ever regular season victory for the expansion Cowboys in 1961 , and would later meet in three Super Bowls , all of them closely contested events . The Steelers - Cowboys is to date the Super Bowl matchup with the most contests . The Steelers won Super Bowl X and Super Bowl XIII ; both games were decided in the final seconds , first on a last - second throw by Roger Staubach , then as a fourth - quarter rally by Dallas fell short on an onside kick . The Cowboys won Super Bowl XXX in January 1996 . It is said that the rivalry was fueled in the 1970s due to the stark contrast of the teams : the Cowboys , being more of a `` flashy '' team with Roger Staubach 's aerial attack and the `` flex '' Doomsday Defense ; while the Steelers were more of a `` blue - collar '' team with a strong running game and the 1970s-esque Steel Curtain defense , a contrast that still exists today . In addition , both teams have national fan bases rivaled by few NFL teams , and both come from areas with a strong following for football at all levels . Dallas leads the all - time series 16 -- 13 including the playoffs . San Francisco 49ers Main article : 49ers -- Cowboys rivalry The bitter rivalry between the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers has been going on since the 1970s . The NFL Top 10 ranked this rivalry to be the tenth best in the history of the NFL . San Francisco has played Dallas in seven postseason games . The Cowboys defeated the 49ers in the 1970 and 1971 NFC Championship games , and again in the 1972 Divisional Playoff Game . The 1981 NFC Championship Game in San Francisco , which saw the 49ers ' Joe Montana complete a game - winning pass to Dwight Clark in the final minute ( now known as The Catch ) is one of the most famous games in NFL history . The rivalry became even more intense during the 1992 -- 1994 seasons . San Francisco and Dallas faced each other in the NFC Championship Game three separate times . Dallas won the first two match - ups , and San Francisco won the third . In each of these pivotal match - ups , the game 's victor went on to win the Super Bowl . Both the Cowboys and the 49ers ( and the New England Patriots ) are second all time in Super Bowl victories to the Pittsburgh Steelers with five each . The 49ers - Cowboys rivalry is also part of the larger cultural rivalry between California and Texas . The 49ers lead the series all - time series with a record of 15 -- 13 -- 1 . Green Bay Packers Main article : Cowboys - Packers rivalry The Cowboys -- Packers rivalry is rivalry between the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers . It is one of the best known intra-conference rivalry games in the NFL . The two teams do not play every year ; instead , they play once every three years due to the NFL 's rotating division schedules , or if the two teams finish in the same place in their respective divisions , they would play the ensuing season . The rivalry has also resulted in notable playoff games . The all time regular seasons series record is 15 -- 13 in favor of the Packers , and the postseason series is tied 4 -- 4 .

Instead , the team has a `` Ring of Honor '' , which is on permanent display encircling the field . Originally at Texas Stadium , the ring is now on display at AT&T Stadium in Arlington . The first inductee was Bob Lilly in 1975 and by 2005 , the ring contained 17 names , all former Dallas players except for one head coach and one general manager / president . Although the team does not officially retire jersey numbers , some are kept `` unofficially inactive '' , so it is uncommon to find any current players wearing the number of one of the `` Ring of Honor '' inductees . For instance , the jersey numbers of inductees Aikman ( 8 ) , Staubach ( 12 ) , Hayes and Smith ( 22 ) , Irvin ( 88 ) , and Lilly ( 74 ) were not worn during the 2008 season . For the 2010 season , number 88 was issued to rookie Dez Bryant . The Ring of Honor has been a source of controversy over the years . Tex Schramm was believed to be a `` one - man committee '' in choosing inductees and many former Cowboys players and fans felt that Schramm deliberately excluded linebacker Lee Roy Jordan because of a bitter contract dispute the two had during Jordan 's playing days . When Jerry Jones bought the team he inherited Schramm 's Ring of Honor `` power '' and immediately inducted Jordan . Jones also has sparked controversy regarding his decisions in handling the `` Ring of Honor '' . For four years he was unsuccessful in convincing Tom Landry to accept induction . Meanwhile , he refused to induct Tex Schramm ( even after Schramm 's induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame ) . In 1993 , thanks in part to the efforts of Roger Staubach as an intermediary , Landry accepted induction and had a ceremony on the day of that year 's Cowboys - Giants game ( Landry had played and coached for the Giants ) . In 2003 , Jones finally chose to induct Tex Schramm . Schramm and Jones held a joint press conference at Texas Stadium announcing the induction . Unfortunately , Schramm did not live to see his ceremonial induction at the Cowboys - Eagles game that fall . Some of the more recent inductees were Troy Aikman , all - time NFL leading rusher Emmitt Smith , and Michael Irvin , known as `` The Triplets '' . The Cowboys waited until Smith had retired as a player before inducting Aikman and Irvin , so all three could be inducted together , which occurred during halftime at a Monday Night Football home game against the arch - rival Washington Redskins on September 19 , 2005 . The most recent inductees are defensive end Charles Haley , offensive lineman Larry Allen , and wide receiver Drew Pearson , who were inducted into the Ring of Honor during halftime of the Cowboys ' game vs. the Seattle Seahawks on November 6 , 2011 , and safety Darren Woodson , who was inducted on November 1 , 2015 .

Brad Sham is the team 's longtime play - by - play voice . Working alongside him is former Cowboy quarterback Babe Laufenberg , who returned in 2007 after a one - year absence to replace former safety Charlie Waters . The Cowboys , who retain rights to all announcers , chose not to renew Laufenberg 's contract in 2006 and brought in Waters . However , Laufenberg did work as the analyst on the `` Blue Star Network '' , which televises Cowboys preseason games not shown on national networks . The anchor station is KTVT , the CBS owned and operated station in Dallas . Previous stations which aired Cowboys games included KVIL - FM , KRLD , and KLUV - FM . Kristi Scales is the sideline reporter on the radio broadcasts . During his tenure as Cowboys coach , Tom Landry co-hosted his own coach 's show with late veteran sportscaster Frank Glieber and later with Brad Sham . Landry 's show was famous for his analysis of raw game footage and for he and his co-host making their NFL `` predictions '' at the end of each show . Glieber is one of the original voices of the Cowboys Radio Network , along with Bill Mercer , famous for calling the Ice Bowl of 1967 and both Super Bowl V and VI . Mercer is perhaps best known as the ringside commentator of World Class Championship Wrestling in the 1980s . Upon Mercer 's departure , Verne Lundquist joined the network , and became their play - by - play announcer by 1977 , serving eight years in that capacity before handing those chores permanently over to Brad Sham , who joined the network in 1977 as the color analyst and occasional fill - in for Lundquist . Longtime WFAA - TV sports anchor Dale Hansen was the Cowboys color analyst with Brad Sham as the play - by - play announcer from 1985 -- 1996 . Dave Garrett served as the Cowboys ' play - by - play announcer from 1995 -- 97 , when Brad Sham left the team and joined the Texas Rangers ' radio network team as well as broadcast Sunday Night Football on Westwood One . Seeking to expand its radio broadcasting scope nationally , the Cowboys began a five - year partnership with Compass Media Networks on February 2 , 2011 . The result was the America 's Team Radio Network , a supplement to the franchise 's regional one . Beginning with the 2011 season , Kevin Burkhardt and Danny White handled the broadcasts , with Jerry Recco as the studio host .

This film , which is a sequel to Bring It On , has a tenuous link to its predecessor , featuring only a similar plot of competing cheerleading teams that have to try something different in order to win . There are no recurring cast members or canonical references to the previous film . Bring It On Again is also the only straight to video sequel of the four that followed Bring It On that shared the same producers . No one else involved in the original film participated in the creation of this film , nor in any of the following . The film does stylistically refer to its predecessor during the end credits , both of which feature outtakes and clips of the cast having fun dancing and singing . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 References 4 External links Plot ( edit ) Whittier arrives at the fictional California State College hoping to join the national champion varsity cheerleading team . She meets up with her friend from cheerleading camp , Monica , and they 're both impressive at the tryouts . Head cheerleader Tina is ready to ask them to join the team , but Greg goes a step further , telling Tina that Whittier will be the next head cheerleader . This angers Tina 's pal Marni who had the position staked out , but at the urging of Dean Sebastian , Tina goes along with the plan , taking Whittier under her wing . Whittier meets Derek , a campus D.J. who immediately takes an interest in her . Tina is very demanding and controlling and warns Whittier that Derek is not the type of boy she should be dating . Monica is bothered by Tina 's meddling , but Whittier momentarily lets her cheerleading ambition get the better of her , and betrays Derek . Then , Tina , upset with Monica 's sassy attitude , punishes her which leads to an injury and she forces Whittier to choose between her friendship and the squad . Whittier and Monica get fed up and quit Tina 's tyranny , but Whittier 's school spirit can not be suppressed . With Monica 's help , she gathers up the outcasts from the drama club , the dance club , and other groups that have lost their funding because of the squad and forms a ragtag squad of her own , determined to battle the varsity squad for a spot at the national championship . The two teams end up competing for the spot at nationals , with Whittier 's squad ultimately winning . Afterward , Whittier offers Tina a spot on her squad , a position that Tina initially refuses but ends up wanting . The film ends with Tina sucking up to Whittier and Monica , deciding she wants to be on their squad after all , while Marni comically throws a fit .

Holy War (Utah vs. BYU)

Holy War ( Utah vs. BYU ) - wikipedia Holy War ( Utah vs. BYU ) Jump to : navigation , search Holy War ( Utah vs BYU ) Utah Utes BYU Cougars Sport American college football First meeting April 6 , 1896 Utah 12 , BYU 4 Latest meeting September 9 , 2017 LaVell Edwards Stadium Provo , Utah Utah 19 , BYU 13 Next meeting November 24 , 2018 Rice - Eccles Stadium Salt Lake City Trophy Beehive Boot Statistics Meetings total 98 All - time series Utah leads , 60 -- 34 -- 4 Largest victory Utah : 49 -- 0 ( 1922 ) BYU : 56 -- 6 ( 1980 ) Longest win streak Utah : 9 ( 1929 -- 1937 ) BYU : 9 ( 1979 -- 1987 ) Current win streak Utah , 7 ( 2010 -- present ) The Holy War is an American college football rivalry game played by the University of Utah Utes and Brigham Young University Cougars . The game is part of the larger Utah -- BYU rivalry . In this rivalry context , the term `` Holy War '' refers to the fact that BYU is owned and administered by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints ( LDS ) and the University of Utah is a public university owned and administered by the State of Utah . Although many Utah fans are LDS members , the term `` Holy War '' also refers to the stark cultural differences of the respective fan bases . The proximity of the two schools , the athletic successes of the two teams , and the longevity of the series also contribute to the rivalry . Both teams played in the same conference from 1922 to 2010 and the Holy War game often decided the conference title . Despite Utah moving to the Pac - 12 Conference in 2011 and BYU becoming an independent that same year , the two universities agreed to play between 2011 and 2013 prior to a brief interruption in the series for 2014 and 2015 -- the first since 1943 to 1945 , when BYU did not field a team due to World War II . Games between 2016 and 2020 were also subsequently booked , which might precede another break in the series . The two - year hiatus of 2014 -- 2015 was unexpectedly cut short when the 2015 Las Vegas Bowl pitted BYU against Utah , creating the `` Holy War in Sin City '' in the postseason .

The University of Utah and Brigham Young University are the two biggest colleges in the state of Utah . There is a stark contrast between the campuses and student bodies , as one is a religious institution while the other is a public university . As the name of the rivalry implies , religion is a large component to the rivalry . Brigham Young University is owned by the LDS church , and thus imposes religious restrictions upon its students . Although both are dry campuses , variation between the religious student body at BYU and more lax , traditional university student body of Utah creates further animosity between the two schools . The long length of rivalry is also a major element . Religion ( edit ) There 's too much religion involved . I did not like that . I really did n't . -- Former Utah head coach Wayne Howard The University of Utah is the flagship university of the state of Utah , while Brigham Young University is the flagship university of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints ( LDS Church ) . The matchup has been described as taking on religious , or `` church vs. state '' undertones . Utah fans may drink alcohol or swear around BYU fans , both of which are known to be forbidden by the Church Educational System Honor Code , which all BYU students and faculty are required to maintain . In 2013 , two Utah football players videotaped a mock baptism in their practice facility tub that some BYU fans believed was mocking the LDS ordinance of baptism . Longevity ( edit ) The two schools disagree on when the first game was played . Utah claims that the first game was played in 1896 against Brigham Young Academy . BYU 's athletic website shows their schedule dating back to 1922 , but no earlier . Utah claims a lead of 58 -- 34 -- 4 , while BYU claims Utah leads 55 -- 31 -- 4 . BYU does not count the six games between Utah and Brigham Young Academy in its records . Utah has a large lead in the overall series and has dominated the rivalry both prior to 1972 ( 41 -- 8 -- 4 ) and after 1992 ( 18 -- 7 ) . In stark contrast , from 1972 to 1992 BYU dominated the series with a record of 19 -- 2 versus Utah . Since 1983 , when BYU won 55 -- 7 , the largest point spread is 44 points , which occurred in 2011 when Utah won 54 -- 10 in Provo . Utah 's average margin of victory in the games it has won since 2000 is 14 points , while BYU 's is four points . The Cougars have n't had a dominating victory over Utah since 1996 ( 37 -- 17 ) , while the Utes have notched three blowout wins ( 2004 , 2008 , 2011 ) in the series ' most recent 10 games . Proximity ( edit ) When Brigham Young came into the valley , he pointed to where the University of Utah would be and said , `` This is the place . '' Provo was just an afterthought . -- Former Utah Head Coach Ron McBride BYU , which is in Provo , Utah , and the University of Utah , which is in Salt Lake City , are about 50 miles ( 80 km ) apart and approximately an hour 's drive away on Interstate 15 . Consequently , the two teams compete for recruits and fan support . It is not uncommon for friends , neighbors , and even family members to have opposite allegiances . Successful teams ( edit ) While the two teams have not necessarily been strong at the same time , the two teams had the most conference championships in the Mountain West Conference ( MW ) before both left the MW in 2011 . Each team has had four conference championships since the creation of the MW in 1999 . Including championships of other conferences , Utah has 24 conference championships in its history , while BYU has 23 . Both of these numbers are well ahead of the current MW member with the most conference championships , Colorado State , who has 15 . Other than the 2011 meeting , the recent games in the Holy War have tended to be close , with the final score of fifteen of the last nineteen games being within a touchdown ( seven points , including a successful conversion kick ) or less . BYU lays claim to a consensus national championship for going undefeated in 1984 and beating Michigan in the 1984 Holiday Bowl . During the era of the now - defunct Bowl Championship Series ( 1998 -- 2013 ) , Utah played in two BCS bowls : the 2005 Fiesta Bowl ( a 35 -- 7 victory over Pitt ) and the 2009 Sugar Bowl ( a 31 -- 17 victory over Alabama ) . For these BCS bowl victories , Utah finished ranked in the AP Poll # 4 and # 2 , respectively . Many sports media members and observers , including ESPN 's Rick Reilly , argued that Utah ( the nation 's lone undefeated FBS team ) should have been awarded the AP National Championship and should have been selected to play Florida in the BCS title game . Fan base comparisons ( edit ) In 2011 the New York Times polled fans of all current FBS schools to rank them according to the size of their respective fan bases . BYU was ranked # 43 nationally with 709,864 people self - identifying as BYU fans while Utah was ranked # 67 with 351,939 people self - identifying as fans . In 2016 Utah saw an average of 46,506 fans attend home games and 41,303 fans on the road ( including a bowl game ) . Rice - Eccles Stadium holds a maximum of 45,807 meaning that the stadium was typically over capacity and utilized standing - room - only areas . BYU averaged 58,569 fans at home and 44,296 at away games . LaVell Edwards Stadium has a capacity of 63,470 . Series history ( edit ) The Brigham Young Academy years ( edit ) Before 1903 , BYU was known as Brigham Young Academy ( BYA ) . During the 1890s , Utah and BYA played six times in football . The two schools split the series 3 -- 3 . The first meeting was an unusual April contest that Utah won 12 -- 4 . BYA stopped playing football in 1900 , following a player death , and did not start again until 1922 , after it had become Brigham Young University ( BYU ) . BYU does not recognize these first six meetings as it only recognizes football games played from 1922 onward . Utah 's early dominance ( edit ) After twenty - three years of not having a team , BYU resumed play for the 1922 season . Utah began its early dominance over BYU with a 49 -- 0 victory on October 14 , 1922 . BYU would not get another win in the series until 1942 , when the Cougars shocked the Utes 12 -- 7 at Utah . The rivalry then took a hiatus from 1943 to 1945 because BYU did not field a team due to World War II . When the rivalry continued in 1946 , the Utes continued their domination over the Cougars , winning or tying the next twelve contests . Save for a three - year BYU winning streak from 1965 -- 1967 , the rivalry continued this trend through the 1971 season , at which point Utah had amassed a 41 -- 8 -- 4 (. 811 ) record against BYU . The LaVell Edwards era ( edit ) In 1972 , the rivalry shifted in favor of BYU . The Cougars had hired LaVell Edwards and in his first season , BYU beat Utah 16 -- 7 for BYU 's first victory over Utah in four years . The win signaled the beginning of BYU 's dominance against Utah . From 1972 to 1992 , BYU went 19 -- 2 (. 905 ) against Utah . During those years , Utah went through a series of coaches that all ended with losing records against LaVell Edwards and BYU . Bill Meek 's Utes went 0 -- 2 against Edwards during Meek 's last two years ( 1972 -- 1973 ) . Tom Lovat ( 1974 -- 1976 ) was 0 -- 3 . Wayne Howard ( 1977 -- 1981 ) was 1 -- 4 . Chuck Stobart ( 1982 -- 1984 ) was 0 -- 3 . Jim Fassel was 1 -- 4 . Finally , Utah found some success when it hired Ron McBride in 1990 . McBride would finish with a 5 -- 6 record against LaVell Edwards , but he started with three consecutive losses to Edwards . 1977 -- 1981 : Edwards versus Howard ( edit ) Wayne Howard 's crusade ( edit ) The hatred between BYU and Utah is nothing compared to what it will be . It will be a crusade to beat BYU from now on . -- Utah coach Wayne Howard , 1977 During the 1977 meeting , BYU was on the way to winning in a 38 -- 8 blowout . Nonetheless , LaVell Edwards put starting quarterback Marc Wilson back into the game so Wilson could set an NCAA record for passing yards . Wilson succeeded in setting the record ( subsequently broken ) and finished the game with 571 passing yards . The incident infuriated Utah head coach Wayne Howard . After the game , he said , `` This today will be inspiring . The hatred between BYU and Utah is nothing compared to what it will be . It will be a crusade to beat BYU from now on . This is a prediction : in the next two years Utah will drill BYU someday , but we wo n't run up the score even if we could set an NCAA record against them . '' The next year , Wayne Howard made good on his promise . The Utes came from behind to upset the Cougars 23 -- 22 . The 1978 win was Utah 's first against a LaVell Edwards coached BYU team . Jim McMahon says , `` scoreboard . '' ( edit ) What I hated the most about BYU was getting trounced . -- Former Utah tight end Steve Folsom During the 1980 Holy War , BYU quarterback Jim McMahon helped engineer a blowout . Most of the game he was heckled by a contingent of Utah fans at Rice Stadium . After throwing for another touchdown late in the 56 -- 6 win , he simply pointed at the scoreboard to quiet the hecklers . The game was in the midst of a 12 -- 1 BYU season . It was also their second consecutive win against Utah and their eighth win out of the last nine games against Utah . The fifty point margin of victory is the largest for either team in the series . 1982 -- 1984 : Edwards versus Stobart ( edit ) National champions ( edit ) On November 17 , 1984 , BYU entered the Holy War 10 -- 0 and ranked # 3 in the AP Poll . BYU overcame several turnovers to win 24 -- 14 . BYU would finish the season 13 -- 0 and the only undefeated team in Division I-A ( now the Football Bowl Subdivision ) . They were voted number one in the final AP Poll as well as the Coaches ' Poll to become consensus national champions . This was the last time a team outside the current Power Five conferences won a national championship ; the next most recent was Army in 1945 . 1985 -- 1989 : Edwards versus Fassel ( edit ) The Rice Bowl ( edit ) In 1988 , Utah had not beaten BYU since 1978 and entered the Holy War as 11 - point underdogs . Utah had a mediocre 5 -- 5 record while BYU was 8 -- 2 and had already accepted an invitation to the Freedom Bowl . BYU looked ready to humiliate the Utes again . Instead Utah and quarterback Scott Mitchell jumped on BYU early and took a 21 -- 0 lead on the way to winning 57 -- 28 . The 1988 team set a series record for points scored against BYU -- a record that stands today . The game came to be known locally as `` the Rice Bowl '' because the game was played at Utah 's Rice Stadium . Revenge ( edit ) It was just as easy as it looked . It was like we were running against air . It was easy to break tackles and find holes . Their defense did n't seem to be there . -- BYU running back Fred Whittingham The next year , in 1989 , BYU got their revenge . They set a series record by scoring 70 against Utah . BYU jumped to a 49 -- 0 lead before Utah scored its first touchdown just before halftime . Behind quarterback Ty Detmer , BYU would score eight touchdowns on its first eight possessions and amass over 750 yards of total offense during the 70 -- 31 win . Utah would score three touchdowns in the fourth quarter against BYU 's reserves . The 101 points the two teams scored is still a series record . The modern rivalry ( edit ) By the mid-1990s , the Cougars ' success leveled off from the years of the 1970s and ' 80s . Around this time , the Utes also improved significantly , and the rivalry became much more competitive . 1990 -- 2000 : Edwards versus McBride ( edit ) The rivalry began to change in 1993 , during Ron McBride 's fourth season as head coach , the Utes won their first game in Provo in twenty - two seasons and their first since LaVell Edwards became BYU head coach . Late in the fourth quarter , Utah 's kicker Chris Yergensen , who had already missed two out of three field goals on the day , attempted to break the 31 -- 31 tie . This time , Yergensen did not miss and kicked the game - winning 55 - yard field goal , the longest of his career , with less than a minute remaining . All those guys think that 's all there is to life . But when I 'm making $50 -- 60,000 a year , they 'll be pumping my gas . They 're low - class losers . -- BYU nose guard Lenny Gomes on Utah and its fans , 1993 After the win , Utah fans and players attempted to tear down the north end zone goalpost at what was then Cougar Stadium . Cougar players returned to the field to protect the goalpost from being torn down . About the incident , Lenny Gomes , a BYU nose guard , said , `` Typical Utah bullshit . All those guys think that 's all there is to life . But when I 'm making $50 -- 60,000 a year , they 'll be pumping my gas . They 're low - class losers . '' The remark is still remembered in rivalry history today . The 1994 season was McBride 's best , as he led the Utes to a 10 -- 2 record and a top - 10 finish in national rankings . The Utes and Cougars also staged one of the best matchups in the rivalry 's history , meeting for the first time as top - 25 ranked teams . The Utes won the game 34 -- 31 , which was coincidentally the same score of their meeting a year before . Utah ran its rivalry winning streak up to three games a year later , with a 34 -- 17 win at BYU . The Utes and Cougars would trade wins and losses the next couple of years , before the 2000 season . The Kaneshiro doink ( edit ) In 1998 , the first Holy War was played at the newly renovated Rice - Eccles Stadium . BYU entered the game with an 8 -- 3 ( 6 -- 1 WAC ) record and was playing for a berth in the WAC Championship game . Utah entered the game with a 7 -- 3 ( 5 -- 2 WAC ) record and was hoping to land a bowl game and spoil BYU 's WAC Championship hopes . BYU took a 26 -- 17 lead when Owen Pochman connected on a 47 - yard field goal with 2 : 41 left to play in the game . On the ensuing kickoff , Utah 's Daniel Jones returned the ball 95 yards to cut the lead to 26 -- 24 . Utah 's defense held BYU and forced them to punt . Utah moved the ball to the 15 - yard line where Ryan Kaneshiro attempted a 32 - yard field goal . The attempt bounced off the right upright , which preserved the win for BYU and caused the goalpost to shake from the `` doink '' . Utah cheerleader pummels an aggressive fan ( edit ) Even our cheerleaders are kicking your butt . -- Utah wide receiver Steve Smith , 1999 During the 1999 edition of the Holy War , Utah recorded its fourth consecutive win in Provo . Early in the fourth quarter , Utah scored a touchdown when quarterback T.D. Crowshaw completed a four - yard - pass to Donny Utu to put Utah up 20 -- 10 . In celebration , Utah cheerleader Billy Priddis ran along the visitor 's sideline with a large `` U '' flag . A BYU fan who was later banned from the BYU campus , ran onto the sideline and tackled Priddis from behind . Priddis turned around and started punching the fan . He landed seven or eight punches before security separated them . About the incident , Priddis said , `` '' There 's 65,000 fans here , does he think I 'm not going to retaliate ? '' From now on we 're going to leave our flags at home and they should do the same . -- BYU Athletic Director Val Hale , 1999 From the Utah sideline , receiver Steve Smith taunted BYU fans and yelled , `` Even our cheerleaders are kicking your butt . '' BYU 's athletic director Val Hale purported to have chastised Priddis and the rest of the Utah cheerleaders . After the game , he said , `` I told them from now on we 're going to leave our flags at home and they should do the same . All it does is initiate the fans to throw things out of the stands . '' Edwards ' last game ( edit ) Entering the 2000 season , legendary head coach LaVell Edwards announced that he was retiring . His final game as Cougars head coach came against the Utes in Salt Lake City , where BYU won 34 -- 27 with an exciting last - minute drive that ended on a touchdown with little time remaining on the clock . 2001 and 2002 : Crowton versus McBride ( edit ) In 2001 , under new head coach Gary Crowton , BYU entered their game against Utah undefeated and looking to become the first team from outside the BCS to play in a BCS bowl game . A tight game ended with a comeback by BYU . BYU running back Luke Staley raced down the sideline with 1 : 16 left to play to make it 24 -- 21 and BYU DB Jenaro Gilford intercepted a pass on the ensuing Ute drive to seal the victory . The win gave the Cougars consecutive wins against the Utes for the first time in nearly ten years . The Cougs , however , failed to bust the BCS , losing to Hawai ʻi in their final game . McBride , who had guided Utah to six bowl games and three bowl wins , entered the 2002 rivalry game in danger of being fired . The Utes had struggled all season long and even with their 13 -- 6 victory against BYU , Utah finished with their second losing season in three years . The 5 -- 6 finish sealed McBride 's fate and he was fired in 2002 ; Weber State University hired him in December 2004 . 2003 and 2004 : Crowton versus Meyer ( edit ) Urban Meyer was hired to replace Ron McBride . Under Meyer , Utah players were not allowed to use the name BYU and began referring rather to the Team Down South or TDS ( BYU being about 50 miles south of the University of Utah ) , imitating Ohio State coach Woody Hayes practice of referring to Michigan as `` that team up north . '' This reference has become a tradition among some Utah fans . Scoring streak ends ( edit ) See also : List of most consecutive games scoring in NCAA football In Meyer 's first season , the Utes won the Mountain West Conference and finished 10 -- 2 , which was their best record since the 1994 season . The last game of the regular season , Utah beat BYU for the second straight year with a 3 -- 0 victory . The victory snapped BYU 's NCAA record for scoring in 361 straight games -- BYU 's first shutout since a 20 -- 0 loss to Arizona State on September 25 , 1975 . BCS busters ( edit ) Utah fans carry the goalpost after the Utes defeated the Cougars to complete a perfect regular season I really hate them . Playing in the game helped me understand . They are the most arrogant people . It 's the whole church and state thing . They 're the `` good kids . '' We 're the `` bad kids . '' I did n't feel it in my gut last year like I do now . -- Utah quarterback Alex Smith , 2004 In 2004 Utah would have its best season up to that point , going 12 -- 0 and becoming the first team from outside the BCS to play in a BCS bowl game . They went on to win their matchup against Pittsburgh in the 2005 Fiesta Bowl . The Utes final regular season game , a 52 -- 21 victory over BYU , clinched the invitation to a BCS bowl . Urban Meyer then left Utah for Florida . After the 2004 season , Gary Crowton resigned after finishing with his third consecutive losing season . 2005 -- 2015 : Mendenhall versus Whittingham ( edit ) In 2005 , Bronco Mendenhall and Kyle Whittingham started as head coaches at their respective programs . Whittingham was offered the job at BYU before turning it down and accepting the position at Utah . This has added to the rivalry between the two coaches . Whittingham won the overall series against Mendenhall with a tally of 7 -- 3 . Eight of the ten games were decided by a touchdown or less . In a December 17 , 2009 column , writer Stewart Mandel called the coaching rivalry the best coaching rivalry of that decade . First overtime game ( edit ) The 2005 season saw some striking parallels between the two programs . Both had replaced their former head coaches , struggled through parts of their seasons , and would finish the regular season with 6 -- 5 records . When the two met in Provo in November 2005 , BYU was looking for its first win against the Utes in three seasons . Utah was looking for a winning record and a shot at a bowl game . BYU entered as the favorite because Utah would be playing without its starting quarterback and its best wide receiver , who had been injured in their previous game . The Utes were starting JC transfer Brett Ratliff who had taken just three snaps the week before . Ratliff surprised the Cougars by completing 17 of 32 passes for 240 yards and four touchdowns , and rushing for 112 yards on 19 carries and a touchdown . He was responsible for all five Utah touchdowns . The Utes won 41 -- 34 . Beck to Harline ( edit ) When the two teams met again in November 2006 , this time in Salt Lake City , BYU jumped out to an early lead , then fell behind and trailed for much of the game , but finally won it 33 -- 31 with an impressive last - minute drive , capped by a touchdown pass from John Beck to Jonny Harline with no time on the clock . The win gave BYU an undefeated record of 8 -- 0 in Mountain West Conference play . Harline caught the pass on his knees in the end zone with no Utah defender near him . The play led to BYU fans creating and wearing T - shirts reading `` Harline 's still open . '' Magic happens ( edit ) Obviously , when you 're doing what 's right on and off the field , I think the Lord steps in and plays a part in it . Magic happens . -- BYU wide receiver Austin Collie , 2007 In 2007 , the teams clashed on November 24 , in what was a mostly defensive game . The game 's first 12 points were only field goals , BYU 's Mitch Payne scoring 9 points . Utah then scored the first touchdown , taking the lead 10 -- 9 . In the fourth quarter , BYU came back with a late - game drive that included a 4th and 18 from its own 12 - yard line . Four plays later , freshman running back Harvey Unga bulled into the endzone to win it 17 -- 10 . Austin Collie , who caught the Max Hall pass to convert the 4th and 18 to a first down said about the play , `` I would n't say it was lucky . We executed the play well . We should have had another one . Obviously , when you 're doing what 's right on and off the field , I think the Lord steps in and plays a part in it . Magic happens . '' The comment further fueled the religious animosity between the two teams . BCS busting ... again ( edit ) Only four years removed from shocking the college football world in 2004 and becoming the first team from outside the BCS to bust into the BCS , Utah returned to the national stage by going undefeated throughout the year . The game was fairly even until Utah scored a touchdown with 15 seconds left in the half to put the Utes up by 10 . In the second half , BYU cut the lead to three by the end of the third quarter but could n't keep Utah out of the endzone in the fourth quarter . Utah would score three times in the final quarter to win 48 -- 24 . Utah was then invited to the Allstate Sugar Bowl to play against Alabama . Utah once again shocked the world by beating the Crimson Tide 31 -- 17 after Utah jumped out to a 21 -- 0 lead in the first quarter . Second overtime game ( edit ) File : Utah Utes vs. BYU Cougars , 2009 -- Flickr image 4158421474. jpg BYU fans storm the field after the overtime win of the Cougars in the 2009 game I do n't like Utah . In fact , I hate them . I hate everything about them . I hate their program , their fans . I hate everything . It felt really good to send those guys home . -- BYU quarterback Max Hall , 2009 In 2009 , in the second overtime game in series history , BYU defeated Utah 26 -- 23 . BYU held a 20 -- 6 lead entering the fourth quarter . Utah scored 14 fourth - quarter points to force overtime , but their comeback fell short . Utah managed a field goal in overtime to take a 23 -- 20 lead , but on BYU 's possession , Max Hall connected to tight end Andrew George for a 25 - yard touchdown reception and the victory . The game was dubbed `` George is still running '' by BYU fans . During the postgame press conference , Hall was asked if he felt he had redeemed himself for his performance in the previous year 's game in which he had five interceptions and one fumble . Hall responded , `` A little bit , yeah . I do n't like Utah . In fact , I hate them . I hate everything about them . I hate their program . I hate their fans . I hate everything . So , it feels good to send those guys home . They did n't deserve it . It was our time and it was our time to win . We deserved it . We played as hard as we could tonight , and it felt really good to send them home and to get them out of here , so it is a game I 'll always remember . '' When asked for a clarification and whether he really hated Utah , Hall said , `` I think the whole university and their fans and organization is classless . They threw beer on my family and stuff last year , and did a whole bunch of nasty things . I do n't respect them , and they deserve to lose . '' The next day , Hall issued an apology for his `` remarks '' . He alleged that his `` family was spit on , had beer dumped on them and were physically assaulted on several occasions '' during the previous year 's game at Rice - Eccles Stadium . Burton 's block ( edit ) For 2010 , the game was played at Rice - Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City . It was the last game for the two teams as conference rivals . BYU entered the game with a 6 -- 5 while Utah came in at 9 -- 2 . In a low scoring affair , BYU scored two field goals , one in each of the first two quarters , to lead 6 -- 0 at halftime . In the third quarter , the Cougars got a touchdown on a 21 - yard pass play from Jake Heaps to McKay Jacobson , to take a 13 -- 0 lead . The fourth quarter began with Utah scoring a 40 - yard field goal , cutting the lead to 13 -- 3 , and then after Utah recovered a BYU fumble , Utah capitalized with a 37 - yard touchdown pass from Jordan Wynn to DeVonte Christopher to make the score 13 -- 10 . The Cougars responded with a field goal , to make it 16 -- 10 . Utah responded to a series of turnovers with a Matt Asiata touchdown on a 3 - yard run to make it 17 -- 16 with 4 : 24 remaining . BYU then drove down the field to Utah 's 22 - yard line , to set up Mitch Payne for a game - winning field goal with 4 seconds remaining . However , Utah cornerback Brandon Burton raced from the outside to block the kick and secure a 17 -- 16 Utah victory . Rivalry tensions were heightened in the play 's aftermath , as several Utah players taunted the Cougars trying to leave the field . Matt Martinez , a Utah linebacker , was seen shoving senior BYU kicker Mitch Payne . Shock and awe ( edit ) With Utah having left for the Pac - 12 and BYU declaring conference independence , the 2011 BYU home game against Utah was the rivalry 's first non-conference game since 1898 . BYU suffered a rough start on its opening drive , when on its third play , the ball was snapped over quarterback Jake Heaps ' head and recovered for a touchdown by Utah DE Derrick Shelby . The remainder of the 1st quarter held similar luck for BYU , with Running back JJ Di'Luigi fumbling on 1st and Goal from the Utah 6 - yard line . The 2nd quarter proved more competitive with BYU completing a 32 - yard TD pass to WR Ross Apo . Utah answered with 30 - yard TD pass from QB Jordan Wynn to freshman TE Jake Murphy , just two minutes before the half . Utah led at halftime 14 -- 10 . After a first half that seemed to promise the typical nail - biter game that the last decade of the rivalry had shown , it was anything but . The Utes scored 40 unanswered points in the 2nd half ( a total of 47 unanswered ) . Turnovers continued to plague BYU , who would finish with 7 , including JD Falslev 's mishandled kickoff return at their own 6 - yard line , QB Jake Heaps fumble at their own 6 - yard line , and QB Riley Nelson 's ( substituted in for Heaps in the 4th quarter ) fumble after being sacked , returned 57 yards for a TD by freshman LB V.J Fehoko . The final result of 54 -- 10 was the largest margin of victory for either team in the Holy War since a 55 -- 7 BYU victory in 1983 , and Utah 's second - largest margin of victory ever in the Holy War . Utah 's 54 points were the second most the Utes had ever scored against BYU . Fandemonium ( edit ) The 2012 incarnation of the Holy War ended in dramatic and odd fashion . Utah went into the 4th quarter up 17 points , but the BYU offense brought it within 3 . With less than 30 seconds remaining , BYU quarterback Riley Nelson successfully drove into Utah territory on 4th and long with a 40 - yard pass to wide receiver , Cody Hoffman . On what was thought to be the final play of the game , Nelson 's deflected pass fell incomplete as time seemingly expired and the Utah fans rushed the field . The pass , however , was shown to hit the ground with one second left , giving BYU an opportunity to kick a field goal from 51 yards ( once the fans had been cleared from the field of play ) . On the attempt , the kick was blocked , the ball recovered by BYU , and the runner subsequently tackled . However , Utah fans again rushed the field , this time before the play was over , thus earning a penalty that gave BYU another chance at a field goal , this one from only 36 yards . That attempt was unsuccessful , however , when the kick hit the left upright and went awry , leading Utah fans to rush the field for a third and final time . Utah won the game 24 -- 21 . Twenty - thirteen in 2013 ( edit ) Not conference mates any longer , Utah and BYU played the 2013 game with the understanding it would be the final contest until 2016 -- a fact that served as motivation for both teams to avoid having to endure a defeat for three calendar years . Utah dominated the first half 13 -- 0 and quieted the raucous crowd at LaVell Edwards Stadium . BYU did n't score their first points , a field goal , until 11 : 39 remaining in the third quarter and the Cougars tacked on another exactly six minutes later . Utah , though , responded with a 79 - yard touchdown drive to extend its lead to 20 -- 6 with 12 : 44 remaining in regulation . BYU did n't score its first touchdown , a one - yard run by running back Michael Alisa , until 5 : 44 left in the game to close the gap to seven points . After holding and false start penalties forced a three - and - out on Utah 's next possession , BYU quarterback Taysom Hill was intercepted on the Cougars ' next drive with a little more than 90 seconds remaining -- appearing to seal the win for Utah . After another three - and - out for Utah , though , BYU received the ball near midfield with 39 seconds left and one final chance to tie the game . However , four straight incomplete passes by Hill -- including a Hail Mary attempt to receiver Mitch Mathews as time expired , during which he committed offensive pass interference by pulling a Utah defensive back to the ground -- punctuated Utah 's fourth straight win over BYU and sent the Utes into the three - year hiatus on a resounding high . 2015 Las Vegas Bowl ( edit ) I 'm lucky enough to be one of the many players on the football team that actually has never lost to these bastards , which leads me to end and say , this is Utah 's world and BYU 's living in it . -- Utah punter Tom Hackett , 2015 The planned hiatus for 2014 -- 2015 was unexpectedly cut short . On December 6 , 2015 , it was announced that BYU would play Utah on December 19 , 2015 in the Las Vegas Bowl . It was the first time the teams met in the postseason and the first Holy War game to be played at a neutral site . During the build - up to the game , the pot was stirred by Utah 's two - time Ray Guy Award - winning Australian punter Tom Hackett . At a pregame event , Hackett called the Cougars `` bastards '' , and finished by saying `` this is Utah 's world and BYU 's living in it . '' Less than eight minutes had passed before Utah took a 35 -- 0 lead in the game . The Utes set a Las Vegas Bowl record for points in the first quarter , scoring five touchdowns off of five BYU turnovers . The Utes did not play as well over the remainder of the game , allowing BYU to score 28 unanswered points before holding on for a 35 -- 28 win , ending Bronco Mendenhall 's last game as BYU 's head coach with a loss . 2016 -- present : Whittingham versus Sitake ( edit ) 2016 : hindsight is 20 -- 20 ( edit ) The first offensive play from scrimmage in the 2016 game resulted in a Utah pick - six . However , Utah turned the ball over several times , which led to two BYU fields goals and a touchdown late in the 2nd Quarter . Utah answered with a touchdown of their own and held a slim 14 -- 13 lead as the teams headed into the locker rooms for halftime . After a field goal in the third quarter , Utah led 17 -- 13 as it used most of the time in the fourth on a 19 - play drive that eventually stalled inside the ten yard line of BYU . The choice to kick the field goal left BYU with one chance to overcome the 20 -- 13 deficit with 2 : 47 to go . BYU drove for a touchdown with 18 seconds to play . Rather than kick the PAT to make it 20 -- 20 , BYU first year coach Kalani Sitake decided to go for the two point conversion and the win . Quarterback Taysom Hill ran the ball up the middle on a draw , but got nowhere as Utah defenders stuffed him at the three - yard line and preserved the Utah victory , 20 -- 19 . 2017 ( edit ) On September 9 , 2017 , Utah headed to Provo looking to defeat BYU for the 7th consecutive time . Neither team was able to get into the endzone in the first half which ended with Utah leading 9 -- 0 . In the third quarter , Utah quarterback Tyler Huntley scored on a 5 - yard touchdown run , but BYU answered with a touchdown of their own 3 minutes later only to fail on the 2 - point conversion . The Utes tacked on another field goal before the quarter ended to lead 19 -- 6 going into the fourth quarter . There was no scoring in the fourth quarter until BYU quarterback Tanner Mangum put together a 11 play , 76 yard touchdown drive capped off by a 7 - yard passing touchdown to Trey Dye with 2 : 38 remaining in the game . BYU 's defense was able to come up with a stop and they took over the ball on their own 8 - yard line with 1 : 38 remaining and one timeout . Utah 's defense stood strong and BYU was unable to move the ball . Utah went on to beat BYU 19 -- 13 , marking the 7th straight win for the Utes over the Cougars . Future games ( edit ) BYU and Utah have agreed to continue the series between 2017 and 2022 , but no games have been scheduled beyond that . The 2018 contest is set for November 24 -- both teams ' final game of the year -- despite the game being a non-conference matchup . Utah typically plays Colorado in the final week , but a scheduling anomaly in the Pac - 12 facilitated the rivalry game being played the final week instead of September . In 2019 and 2020 , the game will be the first of each season . The interruption of the series in 2014 and 2015 sparked discontent in both fan bases -- particularly among BYU fans , some of whom felt that the break was nothing more than a boastful dig at the Cougars ' program . Utah AD Chris Hill acknowledged the topic in August 2015 and said a large number of Utah fans had expressed to him a desire to take a break from the rivalry . `` The message I have received loud and clear from Utah season ticket holders is that they support our decision to take a two - year hiatus from the BYU rivalry '' , Hill said . Another break in the series may follow in the 2020s , as Utah has a scheduled series with the Baylor Bears in 2023 and 2024 , filling the `` tier 1 team '' slot on the schedule , as Michigan did during the hiatus of 2014 -- 2015 .

Icarus

Icarus - wikipedia Icarus For other uses , see Icarus ( disambiguation ) . Jacob Peter Gowy 's The Flight of Icarus . Icarus and Daedalus ancient red relief plastic pottery beaker , Roman - Greece In Greek mythology , Icarus ( the Latin spelling , conventionally adopted in English ; Ancient Greek : Ἴκαρος , Íkaros , Etruscan : Vikare ) is the son of the master craftsman Daedalus , the creator of the Labyrinth . Icarus and his father attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax . Icarus ' father warns him first of complacency and then of hubris , asking that he fly neither too low nor too high , so the sea 's dampness would not clog his wings or the sun 's heat melt them . Icarus ignored his father 's instructions not to fly too close to the sun ; when the wax in his wings melted he tumbled out of the sky and fell into the sea where he drowned , sparking the idiom `` do n't fly too close to the sun '' . This tragic theme of failure at the hands of hubris contains similarities to that of Phaëthon . Contents 1 The legend 2 Classical literature 3 Medieval and Renaissance literature 4 Interpretation 5 See also 6 References 7 Further reading The legend ( edit ) The Lament for Icarus by H.J. Draper Icarus ' father Daedalus , a very talented and remarkable Athenian craftsman , built the Labyrinth for King Minos of Crete near his palace at Knossos to imprison the Minotaur , a half - man , half - bull monster born of his wife and the Cretan bull . Minos imprisoned Daedalus himself in the labyrinth because he gave Minos 's daughter , Ariadne , a clew ( or ball of string ) in order to help Theseus , the enemy of Minos , to survive the Labyrinth and defeat the Minotaur . Modern graffiti of Icaria island and falling Icarus just outside the village of Evdilos in Icaria - Greece Daedalus fashioned two pairs of wings out of wax and feathers for himself and his son . Daedalus tried his wings first , but before trying to escape the island , he warned his son not to fly too close to the sun , nor too close to the sea , but to follow his path of flight . Overcome by the giddiness that flying lent him , Icarus soared into the sky , but in the process he came too close to the sun , which due to the heat melted the wax . Icarus kept flapping his wings but soon realized that he had no feathers left and that he was only flapping his bare arms , and so Icarus fell into the sea and drowned in the area which today bears his name , the Icarian Sea near Icaria , an island southwest of Samos . Hellenistic writers give euhemerising variants in which the escape from Crete was actually by boat , provided by Pasiphaë , for which Daedalus invented the first sails , to outstrip Minos ' pursuing galleys , and that Icarus fell overboard en route to Sicily and drowned . Heracles erected a tomb for him . Classical literature ( edit ) The Sun , or the Fall of Icarus ( 1819 ) by Merry - Joseph Blondel , in the Rotunda of Apollo at the Louvre Icarus ' flight was often alluded to by Greek poets in passing , but the story was told briefly in Pseudo-Apollodorus . In the literature of ancient Rome , the myth was of interest to Augustan writers . Hyginus narrates it in Fabula 40 , beginning with the bovine love affair of Pasiphaë , daughter of the Sun , resulting in the birth of the Minotaur . Ovid narrates the story of Icarus at some length in the Metamorphoses ( viii. 183 -- 235 ) , and refers to it elsewhere . Medieval and Renaissance literature ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( January 2011 ) Ovid 's treatment of the Icarus myth and its connection with that of Phaëthon influenced the mythological tradition in English literature as received and interpreted by major writers such as Chaucer , Marlowe , Shakespeare , Milton , and Joyce . Bruegel 's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus ( ca . 1558 ) , famous for relegating the fall to a scarcely noticed event in the background In Renaissance iconography , the significance of Icarus depends on context : in the Orion Fountain at Messina , he is one of many figures associated with water ; but he is also shown on the Bankruptcy Court of the Amsterdam Town Hall - where he symbolizes high - flying ambition . The 16th - century painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus , traditionally but perhaps erroneously attributed to Pieter Bruegel the Elder , was the inspiration for two of the 20th century 's most notable ecphrastic English - language poems , `` Musée des Beaux Arts '' by W.H. Auden and `` Landscape with the Fall of Icarus '' by William Carlos Williams . Other English language poems referencing the Icarus myth are `` To a Friend Whose Work Has Come to Triumph '' by Anne Sexton , `` Icarus Again '' by Alan Devenish , `` Mrs Icarus '' by Carol Ann Duffy , `` Failing and Flying '' by Jack Gilbert , and `` Icarus Burning '' and `` Icarus Redux '' by Hiromi Yoshida . Interpretation ( edit ) 17th - century relief with a Cretan labyrinth bottom right ( Musée Antoine Vivenel ) Literary interpretation has found in the myth the structure and consequence of personal over-ambition . An Icarus - related study of the Daedalus myth was published by the French hellenist Françoise Frontisi - Ducroux . In psychology there have been synthetic studies of the Icarus complex with respect to the alleged relationship between fascination for fire , enuresis , high ambition , and ascensionism . In the psychiatric mind features of disease were perceived in the shape of the pendulous emotional ecstatic - high and depressive - low of bipolar disorder . Henry Murray having proposed the term Icarus complex , apparently found symptoms particularly in mania where a person is fond of heights , fascinated by both fire and water , narcissistic and observed with fantastical or far - fetched imaginary cognition .

Amen

Amen - wikipedia Amen Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the interjection . For other uses , see Amen ( disambiguation ) . The word amen ( / ˌɑːˈmɛn / or / ˌeɪˈmɛn / ) is a declaration of affirmation found in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament . It is found in Jewish , Christian , and in Sunni Muslim worship as a concluding word or response to prayers . Common English translations of the word amen include `` verily '' and `` truly '' . It can also be used colloquially to express strong agreement , as in , for instance , amen to that . Contents ( hide ) 1 Pronunciation 2 Etymology 2.1 Hebrew Bible 2.2 New Testament 3 Religious use 3.1 Judaism 3.2 Christianity 3.3 Islam 4 See also 5 Notes 6 References 7 Further reading 8 External links Pronunciation ( 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 . ( May 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) In English , the word amen has two primary pronunciations , ah - men ( / ɑːˈmɛn / ) or ay - men ( / eɪˈmɛn / ) , with minor additional variation in emphasis ( the two syllables may be equally stressed instead of placing primary stress on the second ) . In anglophone North America the ah - men pronunciation is used in performances of classical music , in churches with more formalized rituals and liturgy and in liberal to mainline Protestant denominations , as well as almost every Jewish congregation , in line with modern Hebrew pronunciation . The ay - men pronunciation , a product of the Great Vowel Shift dating to the 15th century , is associated with Irish Protestantism and conservative Evangelical denominations generally , and is the pronunciation typically used in gospel music . In Arabic the pronunciation ah - meen ( ʾĀmīn ) is used upon completing a supplication to God or when concluding recitation of the first surah Al Fatiha in prayer . Etymology ( edit ) `` Amen '' in contemporary ( Madnhāyā ) Syriac script . The usage of Amen , meaning `` so be it '' , as found in the early scriptures of the Bible is said to be of Hebrew origin ; however , the basic triconsonantal root from which the word was derived is common to a number of languages , such as Aramaic , in the Semitic branch of the Afrasian languages . The word was imported into the Greek of the early Church from Judaism . From Greek , amen entered the other Western languages . According to a standard dictionary etymology , amen passed from Greek into Late Latin , and thence into English . Rabbinic scholars from medieval France believed the standard Hebrew word for faith emuna comes from the root amen . Although in English transliteration they look different , they are both from the root aleph - mem - nun . That is , the Hebrew word amen derives from the same ancient triliteral Hebrew root as does the verb ʾāmán . Grammarians frequently list ʾāmán under its three consonants ( aleph - mem - nun ) , which are identical to those of ʾāmēn ( note that the Hebrew letter א aleph represents a glottal stop sound , which functions as a consonant in the morphology of Hebrew ) . This triliteral root means to be firm , confirmed , reliable , faithful , have faith , believe . In Arabic , the word is derived from its triliteral common root word ʾĀmana ( Arabic : آمن ‎ ) , which has the same meanings as the Hebrew root word . Popular among some theosophists , proponents of Afrocentric theories of history , and adherents of esoteric Christianity is the conjecture that amen is a derivative of the name of the Egyptian god Amun ( which is sometimes also spelled Amen ) . Some adherents of Eastern religions believe that amen shares roots with the Hindu Sanskrit word , Aum . Such external etymologies are not included in standard etymological reference works . The Hebrew word , as noted above , starts with aleph , while the Egyptian name begins with a yodh . The Armenian word ամեն ( amen ) means `` every '' ; however it is also used in the same form at the conclusion of prayers , much as in English . In French , the Hebrew word amen is sometimes translated as Ainsi soit - il , which means `` So be it . '' Hebrew Bible ( edit ) The word first occurs in the Hebrew Bible in Numbers 5 : 22 when the Priest addresses a suspected adulteress and she responds `` Amen , Amen '' . Overall , the word appears in the Hebrew Bible 30 times . Three distinct Biblical usages of amen may be noted : Initial amen , referring back to words of another speaker and introducing an affirmative sentence , e.g. 1 Kings 1 : 36 . Detached amen , again referring to the words of another speaker but without a complementary affirmative sentence , e.g. Nehemiah 5 : 13 . Final amen , with no change of speaker , as in the subscription to the first three divisions of Psalms . New Testament ( edit ) There are 52 amens in the Synoptic Gospels and 25 in John . The five final amens ( Matthew 6 : 13 , 28 : 20 , Mark 16 : 20 , Luke 24 : 53 and John 21 : 25 ) , which are wanting in certain manuscripts , simulate the effect of final amen in the Hebrew Psalms . All initial amens occur in the sayings of Jesus . These initial amens are unparalleled in Hebrew literature , according to Friedrich Delitzsch , because they do not refer to the words of a previous speaker but instead introduce a new thought . The uses of amen ( `` verily '' or `` I tell you the truth '' , depending on the translation ) in the Gospels form a peculiar class ; they are initial , but often lack any backward reference . Jesus used the word to affirm his own utterances , not those of another person , and this usage was adopted by the church . The use of the initial amen , single or double in form , to introduce solemn statements of Jesus in the Gospels had no parallel in Jewish practice . In the King James Bible , the word amen is preserved in a number of contexts . Notable ones include : The catechism of curses of the Law found in Deuteronomy 27 . A double amen ( `` amen and amen '' ) occurs in Psalm 89 ( Psalm 41 : 13 ; 72 : 19 ; 89 : 52 ) , to confirm the words and invoke the fulfillment of them . Amen occurs in several doxology formulas in Romans 1 : 25 , 9 : 5 , 11 : 36 , 15 : 33 , and several times in Chapter 16 . It also appears in doxologies in the Psalms ( 41 : 14 ; 72 : 19 ; 89 : 53 ; 106 : 48 ) . This liturgical form from Judaism . It concludes all of Paul 's general epistles . In Revelation 3 : 14 , Jesus is referred to as , `` the Amen , the faithful and true witness , the beginning of God 's creation . '' The whole passage reads as `` And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write ; These things saith the Amen , the faithful and true witness , the beginning of the creation of God ; '' . Amen concludes the New Testament at Rev. 22 : 21 . Religious use ( edit ) Judaism ( edit ) See also : Reciting amen Although amen , in Judaism , is commonly stated as a response to a blessing , it is also often used as an affirmation of any declaration . Jewish rabbinical law requires an individual to say amen in a variety of contexts . With the rise of the synagogue during the Second Temple period , amen became a common response , especially to benedictions . It is recited communally to affirm a blessing made by the prayer reader . It is also mandated as a response during the kaddish doxology . The congregation is sometimes prompted to answer ' amen ' by the terms ve - ' imru ( Hebrew : ואמרו ‎ ) = `` and ( now ) say ( pl . ) , '' or , ve - nomar ( ונאמר ) = `` and let us say . '' Contemporary usage reflects ancient practice : As early as the 4th century BCE , Jews assembled in the Temple responded ' amen ' at the close of a doxology or other prayer uttered by a priest . This Jewish liturgical use of amen was adopted by the Christians . But Jewish law also requires individuals to answer amen whenever they hear a blessing recited , even in a non-liturgical setting . The Talmud teaches homiletically that the word amen is an acronym for אל מלך נאמן ( ʾEl melekh neʾeman , `` God , trustworthy King '' ) , the phrase recited silently by an individual before reciting the Shma . Jews usually approximate the Hebrew pronunciation of the word : / ɑː ˈmɛn / ah - MEN ( Israeli - Ashkenazi and Sephardi ) or / ɔː ˈmeɪn / aw - MAYN ( non-Israeli Ashkenazi ) . Christianity ( edit ) The use of `` amen '' has been generally adopted in Christian worship as a concluding word for prayers and hymns and an expression of strong agreement . The liturgical use of the word in apostolic times is attested by the passage from 1 Corinthians cited above , and Justin Martyr ( c. 150 ) describes the congregation as responding `` amen '' to the benediction after the celebration of the Eucharist . Its introduction into the baptismal formula ( in the Eastern Orthodox Church it is pronounced after the name of each person of the Trinity ) was probably later . In Isaiah 65 : 16 , the authorized version has `` the God of truth '' ( `` the God of amen '' in Hebrew ) . Jesus often used amen to put emphasis to his own words ( translated : `` verily '' ) . In John 's Gospel , it is repeated , `` Verily , verily '' . Amen is also used in oaths ( Numbers 5 : 22 ; Deuteronomy 27 : 15 -- 26 ; Nehemiah 5 : 13 ; 8 : 6 ; 1 Chronicles 16 : 36 ) and is further found at the end of the prayer of primitive churches ( 1 Corinthians 14 : 16 ) . In some Christian churches , the `` amen corner '' or `` amen section '' is any subset of the congregation likely to call out `` Amen ! '' in response to points in a preacher 's sermon . Metaphorically , the term can refer to any group of heartfelt traditionalists or supporters of an authority figure . Amen is also used in standard , international French , but in Cajun French Ainsi soit - il ( `` so be it '' ) is used instead . Amen is used at the end of the Lord 's Prayer , which is also called the Our Father or the Pater Noster . Islam ( edit ) ʾĀmīn in Arabic . ʾĀmīn ( Arabic : آمين ‎ ) is the Arabic form of Amen . In Islam , it is used with the same meaning as in Judaism and Christianity ; when concluding a prayer , especially after a supplication ( du'a ) or reciting the first surah Al Fatiha of the Qur'an ( salat ) , and as an assent to the prayers of others .

Following the declaration of secession by South Carolina on December 20 , 1860 , its authorities demanded that the U.S. Army abandon its facilities in Charleston Harbor . On December 26 , Major Robert Anderson of the U.S. Army surreptitiously moved his small command from the vulnerable Fort Moultrie on Sullivan 's Island to Fort Sumter , a substantial fortress built on an island controlling the entrance of Charleston Harbor . An attempt by U.S. President James Buchanan to reinforce and resupply Anderson using the unarmed merchant ship Star of the West failed when it was fired upon by shore batteries on January 9 , 1861 . South Carolina authorities then seized all Federal property in the Charleston area except for Fort Sumter . During the early months of 1861 , the situation around Fort Sumter increasingly began to resemble a siege . In March , Brigadier General P.G.T. Beauregard , the first general officer of the newly formed Confederate States Army , was placed in command of Confederate forces in Charleston . Beauregard energetically directed the strengthening of batteries around Charleston harbor aimed at Fort Sumter . Conditions in the fort , growing increasingly dire due to shortages of men , food , and supplies , deteriorated as the Union soldiers rushed to complete the installation of additional guns . The resupply of Fort Sumter became the first crisis of the administration of the newly inaugurated U.S. President Abraham Lincoln following his victory in the election of November 6 , 1860 . He notified the Governor of South Carolina , Francis W. Pickens that he was sending supply ships , which resulted in an ultimatum from the Confederate government for the immediate evacuation of Fort Sumter , which Major Anderson refused . Beginning at 4 : 30 a.m. on April 12 , the Confederates bombarded the fort from artillery batteries surrounding the harbor . Although the Union garrison returned fire , they were significantly outgunned and , after 34 hours , Major Anderson agreed to evacuate . There were no deaths on either side as a direct result of this engagement , although a gun explosion during the surrender ceremonies on April 14 caused two Union deaths . Following the battle , there was widespread support from both North and South for further military action . Lincoln 's immediate call for 75,000 volunteers to suppress the rebellion resulted in an additional four southern states also declaring their secession and joining the Confederacy . The battle is usually recognized as the first battle that opened the American Civil War .

On February 7 , the seven states adopted a provisional constitution for the Confederate States of America and established their temporary capital at Montgomery , Alabama . A February peace conference met in Washington , D.C. , but failed to resolve the crisis . The remaining eight states declined pleas to join the Confederacy . The seceding states seized numerous Federal properties within their boundaries , including buildings , arsenals , and fortifications . President James Buchanan protested but took no military action in response . Buchanan was concerned that an overt action could cause the remaining slave states to leave the Union , and while he acknowledged there was no constitutional authority for a state to secede , he could find no constitutional authority for him to act to prevent it . Forts of Charleston Several forts had been constructed in Charleston 's harbor , including Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie , which were not among the sites seized initially . Fort Moultrie on Sullivan Island was the oldest -- it was the site of fortifications since 1776 -- and was the headquarters of the U.S. Army garrison . However , it had been designed as a gun platform for defending the harbor , and its defenses against land - based attacks were feeble ; during the crisis , the Charleston newspapers commented that sand dunes had piled up against the walls in such a way that the wall could easily be scaled . When the garrison began clearing away the dunes , the papers objected . Major Robert Anderson of the 1st U.S. Artillery regiment had been appointed to command the Charleston garrison that fall because of rising tensions . A native of Kentucky , he was a protégé of Winfield Scott , the general in chief of the Army , and was thought more capable of handling a crisis than the garrison 's previous commander , Col. John L. Gardner , who was nearing retirement . Anderson had served an earlier tour of duty at Fort Moultrie and his father had been a defender of the fort ( then called Fort Sullivan ) during the American Revolutionary War . Throughout the fall , South Carolina authorities considered both secession and the expropriation of federal property in the harbor to be inevitable . As tensions mounted , the environment around the fort increasingly resembled a siege , to the point that the South Carolina authorities placed picket ships to observe the movements of the troops and threatened to attack when forty rifles were transferred to one of the harbor forts from the U.S. arsenal in the city . In contrast to Moultrie , Fort Sumter dominated the entrance to Charleston Harbor and , though unfinished , was designed to be one of the strongest fortresses in the world . In the fall of 1860 work on the fort was nearly completed , but the fortress was thus far garrisoned by a single soldier , who functioned as a lighthouse keeper , and a small party of civilian construction workers . Under the cover of darkness on December 26 , six days after South Carolina declared its secession , Anderson abandoned the indefensible Fort Moultrie , ordering its guns spiked and its gun carriages burned , and surreptitiously relocated his command by small boats to Sumter . President Buchanan and the Star of the West Maj . Robert Anderson South Carolina authorities considered Anderson 's move to be a breach of faith . Governor Francis W. Pickens believed that President Buchanan had made implicit promises to him to keep Sumter unoccupied and suffered political embarrassment as a result of his trust in those promises . Buchanan , a former U.S. Secretary of State and diplomat , had used carefully crafted ambiguous language to Pickens , promising that he would not `` immediately '' occupy it . From Major Anderson 's standpoint , he was merely moving his existing garrison troops from one of the locations under his command to another . He had received instructions from the War Department on December 11 , written by Major General Don Carlos Buell , Assistant Adjutant General of the Army , approved by Secretary of War John B. Floyd : ... you are to hold possession of the forts in this harbor , and if attacked you are to defend yourself to the last extremity . The smallness of your force will not permit you , perhaps , to occupy more than one of the three forts , but an attack on or attempt to take possession of any one of them will be regarded as an act of hostility , and you may then put your command into either of them which you may deem most proper to increase its power of resistance . You are also authorized to take similar steps whenever you have tangible evidence of a design to proceed to a hostile act . Governor Pickens therefore ordered that all remaining Federal positions except Fort Sumter were to be seized . State troops quickly occupied Fort Moultrie ( capturing 56 guns ) , Fort Johnson on James Island , and the battery on Morris Island . On December 27 , an assault force of 150 men seized the Union - occupied Castle Pinckney fortification , in the harbor close to downtown Charleston , capturing 24 guns and mortars without bloodshed . On December 30 , the Federal arsenal in Charleston was captured , resulting in the acquisition of more than 22,000 weapons by the militia . The Confederates promptly made repairs at Fort Moultrie and dozens of new batteries and defense positions were constructed throughout the Charleston harbor area , including an unusual floating battery , and armed with weapons captured from the arsenal . President Buchanan was surprised and dismayed at Anderson 's move to Sumter , unaware of the authorization Anderson had received . Nevertheless , he refused Pickens 's demand to evacuate Charleston harbor . Since the garrison 's supplies were limited , Buchanan authorized a relief expedition of supplies , small arms , and 200 soldiers . The original intent was to send the Navy sloop - of - war USS Brooklyn , but it was discovered that Confederates had sunk some derelict ships to block the shipping channel into Charleston and there was concern that Brooklyn had too deep a draft to negotiate the obstacles . Instead , it seemed prudent to send an unarmed civilian merchant ship , Star of the West , which might be perceived as less provocative to the Confederates . As Star of the West approached the harbor entrance on January 9 , 1861 , it was fired upon by a battery on Morris Island , which was staffed by cadets from The Citadel , among them William Stewart Simkins , who were the only trained artillerymen in the service of South Carolina at the time . Batteries from Fort Moultrie joined in and Star of the West was forced to withdraw . Major Anderson prepared his guns at Sumter when he heard the Confederate fire , but the secrecy of the operation had kept him unaware that a relief expedition was in progress and he chose not to start a general engagement . In a letter delivered January 31 , 1861 , Governor Pickens demanded of President Buchanan that he surrender Fort Sumter because , `` I regard that possession is not consistent with the dignity or safety of the State of South Carolina . '' Preparations for War Fort Sumter before the battle Conditions at the fort were difficult during the winter of 1860 -- 61 . Rations were short and fuel for heat was limited . The garrison scrambled to complete the defenses as best they could . Fort Sumter was designed to mount 135 guns , operated by 650 officers and men , but construction had met with numerous delays for decades and budget cuts had left it only about 90 percent finished in early 1861 . Anderson 's garrison consisted of just 85 men , primarily made up of two small artillery companies : Company E , 1st U.S. Artillery , commanded by Capt . Abner Doubleday , and Company H , commanded by Capt . Truman Seymour . There were six other officers present : Surgeon Samuel W. Crawford , First Lt. Theodore Talbot of Company H , First Lt. Jefferson C. Davis of the 1st U.S. Artillery , and Second Lt. Norman J. Hall of Company H. Capt . John G. Foster and First Lt. George W. Snyder of the Corps of Engineers were responsible for construction of the Charleston forts , but they reported to their headquarters in Washington , not directly to Anderson . The remaining personnel were 68 noncommissioned officers and privates , eight musicians , and 43 noncombatant workmen . By April the Union troops had positioned 60 guns , but they had insufficient men to operate them all . The fort consisted of three levels of enclosed gun positions , or casemates . The second level of casemates was unoccupied . The majority of the guns were on the first level of casemates , on the upper level ( the parapet or barbette positions ) , and on the center parade field . Unfortunately for the defenders , the original mission of the fort -- harbor defense -- meant that it was designed so that the guns were primarily aimed at the Atlantic , with little capability of protecting from artillery fire from the surrounding land or from infantry conducting an amphibious assault . Brig. Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard In March , Brig. Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard took command of South Carolina forces in Charleston ; on March 1 , President Jefferson Davis had appointed him the first general officer in the armed forces of the new Confederacy , specifically to take command of the siege . Beauregard made repeated demands that the Union force either surrender or withdraw and took steps to ensure that no supplies from the city were available to the defenders , whose food was running low . He also increased drills amongst the South Carolina militia , training them to operate the guns they manned . Major Anderson had been Beauregard 's artillery instructor at West Point ; the two had been especially close , and Beauregard had become Anderson 's assistant after graduation . Both sides spent March drilling and improving their fortifications to the best of their abilities . Beauregard , a trained military engineer , built - up overwhelming strength to challenge Fort Sumter . Fort Moultrie had three 8 - inch Columbiads , two 8 - inch howitzers , five 32 - pound smoothbores , and four 24 - pounders . Outside of Moultrie were five 10 - inch mortars , two 32 - pounders , two 24 - pounders , and a 9 - inch Dahlgren smoothbore . The floating battery next to Fort Moultrie had two 42 - pounders and two 32 - pounders on a raft protected by iron shielding . Fort Johnson on James Island had one 24 - pounder and four 10 - inch mortars . At Cummings Point on Morris Island , the Confederates had emplaced seven 10 - inch mortars , two 42 - pounders , an English Blakely rifled cannon , and three 8 - inch Columbiads , the latter in the so - called Iron Battery , protected by a wooden shield faced with iron bars . About 6,000 men were available to man the artillery and to assault the fort , if necessary , including the local militia , young boys and older men . Decisions for War On March 4 , 1861 , Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as president . He was almost immediately confronted with the surprise information that Major Anderson was reporting that only six weeks of rations remained at Fort Sumter . A crisis similar to the one at Fort Sumter had emerged at Pensacola , Florida , where Confederates threatened another U.S. fortification -- Fort Pickens . Lincoln and his new cabinet struggled with the decisions of whether to reinforce the forts , and how . They were also concerned about whether to take actions that might start open hostilities and which side would be perceived as the aggressor as a result . Similar discussions and concerns were occurring in the Confederacy . After the formation of the Confederate States of America in early February , there was some debate among the secessionists whether the capture of the fort was rightly a matter for South Carolina or for the newly declared national government in Montgomery , Alabama . South Carolina governor Pickens was among the states ' rights advocates who thought that all property in Charleston harbor had reverted to South Carolina upon that state 's secession as an independent commonwealth . This debate ran alongside another discussion about how aggressively the installations -- including Forts Sumter and Pickens -- should be obtained . President Davis , like his counterpart in Washington , preferred that his side not be seen as the aggressor . Both sides believed that the first side to use force would lose precious political support in the border states , whose allegiance was undetermined ; before Lincoln 's inauguration on March 4 , five states had voted against secession , including Virginia , and Lincoln openly offered to evacuate Fort Sumter if it would guarantee Virginia 's loyalty . The South sent delegations to Washington , D.C. , and offered to pay for the Federal properties and enter into a peace treaty with the United States . Lincoln rejected any negotiations with the Confederate agents because he did not consider the Confederacy a legitimate nation and making any treaty with it would be tantamount to recognition of it as a sovereign government . However , Secretary of State William H. Seward , who wished to give up Sumter for political reasons -- as a gesture of good will -- engaged in unauthorized and indirect negotiations that failed . On April 4 , as the supply situation on Sumter became critical , President Lincoln ordered a relief expedition , to be commanded by former naval captain ( and future Assistant Secretary of the Navy ) Gustavus V. Fox , who had proposed a plan for nighttime landings of smaller vessels than the Star of the West . Fox 's orders were to land at Sumter with supplies only , and if he was opposed by the Confederates , to respond with the U.S. Navy vessels following and to then land both supplies and men . This time , Maj . Anderson was informed of the impending expedition , although the arrival date was not revealed to him . On April 6 , Lincoln notified Governor Pickens that `` an attempt will be made to supply Fort Sumter with provisions only , and that if such attempt be not resisted , no effort to throw in men , arms , or ammunition will be made without further notice , ( except ) in case of an attack on the fort . '' Lincoln 's notification had been made to the governor of South Carolina , not the new Confederate government , which Lincoln did not recognize . Pickens consulted with Beauregard , the local Confederate commander . Soon President Davis ordered Beauregard to repeat the demand for Sumter 's surrender , and if it did not , to reduce the fort before the relief expedition arrived . The Confederate cabinet , meeting in Montgomery , endorsed Davis 's order on April 9 . Only Secretary of State Robert Toombs opposed this decision : he reportedly told Jefferson Davis the attack `` will lose us every friend at the North . You will only strike a hornet 's nest ... Legions now quiet will swarm out and sting us to death . It is unnecessary . It puts us in the wrong . It is fatal . '' Beauregard dispatched aides -- Col. James Chesnut , Col. James A. Chisholm , and Capt . Stephen D. Lee -- to Fort Sumter on April 11 to issue the ultimatum . Anderson refused , although he reportedly commented , `` I shall await the first shot , and if you do not batter us to pieces , we shall be starved out in a few days . '' The aides returned to Charleston and reported this comment to Beauregard . At 1 a.m. on April 12 , the aides brought Anderson a message from Beauregard : `` If you will state the time which you will evacuate Fort Sumter , and agree in the meantime that you will not use your guns against us unless ours shall be employed against Fort Sumter , we will abstain from opening fire upon you . '' After consulting with his senior officers , Maj . Anderson replied that he would evacuate Sumter by noon , April 15 , unless he received new orders from his government or additional supplies . Col. Chesnut considered this reply to be too conditional and wrote a reply , which he handed to Anderson at 3 : 20 a.m. : `` Sir : by authority of Brigadier General Beauregard , commanding the Provisional Forces of the Confederate States , we have the honor to notify you that he will open fire of his batteries on Fort Sumter in one hour from this time . '' Anderson escorted the officers back to their boat , shook hands with each one , and said `` If we never meet in this world again , God grant that we may meet in the next . '' Bombardment Bombardment of the Fort by the Confederates At 4 : 30 a.m. on April 12 , 1861 , Lt. Henry S. Farley , acting upon the command of Capt . George S. James , fired a single 10 - inch mortar round from Fort Johnson . ( James had offered the first shot to Roger Pryor , a noted Virginia secessionist , who declined , saying , `` I could not fire the first gun of the war . '' ) The shell exploded over Fort Sumter as a signal to open the general bombardment from 43 guns and mortars at Fort Moultrie , Fort Johnson , the floating battery , and Cummings Point . Under orders from Beauregard , the guns fired in a counterclockwise sequence around the harbor , with 2 minutes between each shot ; Beauregard wanted to conserve ammunition , which he calculated would last for only 48 hours . Edmund Ruffin , another noted Virginia secessionist , had traveled to Charleston to be present for the beginning of the war , and fired one of the first shots at Sumter after the signal round , a 64 - pound shell from the Iron Battery at Cummings Point . The shelling of Fort Sumter from the batteries ringing the harbor awakened Charleston 's residents ( including diarist Mary Chesnut ) , who rushed out into the predawn darkness to watch the shells arc over the water and burst inside the fort . Major Anderson held his fire , awaiting daylight . His troops reported for a call at 6 a.m. and then had breakfast . At 7 a.m. , Capt . Abner Doubleday fired a shot at the Ironclad Battery at Cummings Point . He missed . Given the available manpower , Anderson could not take advantage of all of his 60 guns . He deliberately avoided using guns that were situated in the fort where casualties were most likely . The fort 's best cannons were mounted on the uppermost of its three tiers -- the barbette tier -- where his troops were most exposed to incoming fire from overhead . The fort had been designed to withstand a naval assault , and naval warships of the time did not mount guns capable of elevating to shoot over the walls of the fort . However , the land - based cannons manned by the Confederates were capable of high - arcing ballistic trajectories and could therefore fire at parts of the fort that would have been out of naval guns ' reach . Fort Sumter 's garrison could only safely fire the 21 working guns on the lowest level , which themselves , because of the limited elevation allowed by their embrasures , were largely incapable of delivering fire with trajectories high enough to seriously threaten Fort Moultrie . Moreover , although the Federals had moved as many of their supplies to Fort Sumter as they could manage , the fort was quite low on ammunition , and was nearly out at the end of the 34 - hour bombardment . A more immediate problem was the scarcity of cloth gunpowder cartridges or bags ; only 700 were available at the beginning of the battle and workmen sewed frantically to create more , in some cases using socks from Anderson 's personal wardrobe . Because of the shortages , Anderson reduced his firing to only six guns : two aimed at Cummings Point , two at Fort Moultrie , and two at the Sullivan 's Island batteries . Ships from Fox 's relief expedition began to arrive on April 12 . Although Fox himself arrived at 3 a.m. on his steamer Baltic , most of the rest of his fleet was delayed until 6 p.m. , and one of the two warships , USS Powhatan , never did arrive . Unbeknownst to Fox , it had been ordered to the relief of Fort Pickens in Florida . As landing craft were sent toward the fort with supplies , the artillery fire deterred them and they pulled back . Fox decided to wait until after dark and for the arrival of his warships . The next day , heavy seas made it difficult to load the small boats with men and supplies and Fox was left with the hope that Anderson and his men could hold out until dark on April 13 . Although Sumter was a masonry fort , there were wooden buildings inside for barracks and officer quarters . The Confederates targeted these with Heated shot ( cannonballs heated red hot in a furnace ) , starting fires that could prove more dangerous to the men than explosive artillery shells . At 7 p.m. on April 12 , a rain shower extinguished the flames and at the same time the Union gunners stopped firing for the night . They slept fitfully , concerned about a potential infantry assault against the fort . During the darkness , the Confederates reduced their fire to four shots each hour . The following morning , the full bombardment resumed and the Confederates continued firing hot shot against the wooden buildings . By noon most of the wooden buildings in the fort and the main gate were on fire . The flames moved toward the main ammunition magazine , where 300 barrels of gunpowder were stored . The Union soldiers frantically tried to move the barrels to safety , but two - thirds were left when Anderson judged it was too dangerous and ordered the magazine doors closed . He ordered the remaining barrels thrown into the sea , but the tide kept floating them back together into groups , some of which were ignited by incoming artillery rounds . He also ordered his crews to redouble their efforts at firing , but the Confederates did the same , firing the hot shots almost exclusively . Many of the Confederate soldiers admired the courage and determination of the Yankees . When the fort had to pause its firing , the Confederates often cheered and applauded after the firing resumed and they shouted epithets at some of the nearby Union ships for failing to come to the fort 's aid . Surrender Fort Sumter Flag Wikisource has original text related to this article : Major Anderson 's telegram announcing the surrender The fort 's central flagpole was knocked down at 1 p.m. on April 13 , raising doubts among the Confederates about whether the fort was ready to surrender . Col. Louis Wigfall , a former U.S. senator , had been observing the battle and decided that this indicated the fort had had enough punishment . He commandeered a small boat and proceeded from Morris Island , waving a white handkerchief from his sword , dodging incoming rounds from Sullivan 's Island . Meeting with Major Anderson , he said , `` You have defended your flag nobly , Sir . You have done all that it is possible to do , and General Beauregard wants to stop this fight . On what terms , Major Anderson , will you evacuate this fort ? '' Anderson was encouraged that Wigfall had said `` evacuate , '' not `` surrender . '' He was low on ammunition , fires were burning out of control , and his men were hungry and exhausted . Satisfied that they had defended their post with honor , enduring over 3,000 Confederate rounds without losing a man , Anderson agreed to a truce at 2 : 00 p.m. Fort Sumter raised Wigfall 's white handkerchief on its flagpole as Wigfall departed in his small boat back to Morris Island , where he was hailed as a hero . The handkerchief was spotted in Charleston and a delegation of officers representing Beauregard -- Stephen D. Lee , Porcher Miles , a former mayor of Charleston , and Roger Pryor -- sailed to Sumter , unaware of Wigfall 's visit . Anderson was outraged when these officers disavowed Wigfall 's authority , telling him that the former senator had not spoken with Beauregard for two days , and he threatened to resume firing . Meanwhile , General Beauregard himself had finally seen the handkerchief and sent a second set of officers , offering essentially the same terms that Wigfall had presented , so the agreement was reinstated . The Union garrison formally surrendered the fort to Confederate personnel at 2 : 30 p.m. , April 13 . No one from either side was killed during the bombardment . During the 100 - gun salute to the U.S. flag -- Anderson 's one condition for withdrawal -- a pile of cartridges blew up from a spark , mortally wounding privates Daniel Hough and Edward Galloway , and seriously wounding the other four members of the gun crew ; these were the first military fatalities of the war . The salute was stopped at fifty shots . Hough was buried in the Fort Sumter parade ground within two hours after the explosion . Galloway and Private George Fielding were sent to the hospital in Charleston , where Galloway died a few days later ; Fielding was released after six weeks . The other wounded men and the remaining Union troops were placed aboard a Confederate steamer , the Isabel , where they spent the night and were transported the next morning to Fox 's relief ship Baltic , resting outside the harbor bar . Our Banner in the Sky ( 1861 ) by Frederic Edwin Church Anderson carried the Fort Sumter Flag with him North , where it became a widely known symbol of the battle , and rallying point for supporters of the Union . This inspired Frederic Edwin Church to paint Our Banner in the Sky , described as a `` symbolic landscape embodying the stars and stripes . '' A chromolithograph was then created and sold to benefit the families of Union soldiers . Confederate Flag flying in Fort Sumter after the 1861 surrender Aftermath The bombardment of Fort Sumter was the first military action of the American Civil War . Following the surrender , Northerners rallied behind Lincoln 's call for all states to send troops to recapture the forts and preserve the Union . With the scale of the rebellion apparently small so far , Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers for 90 days . Some Northern states filled their quotas quickly . There were so many volunteers in Ohio that within 16 days they could have met the full call for 75,000 men by themselves . Other governors from border states were undiplomatic in their responses . For example , Gov. Claiborne Jackson wrote , `` Not one man will the state of Missouri furnish to carry on any such unholy crusade '' , and Gov. Beriah Magoffin wrote , `` Kentucky will furnish no troops for the wicked purpose of subduing her sister Southern states . '' The governors of other states still in the Union were equally unsupportive . The call for 75,000 troops triggered four additional slave states to declare their secession from the Union and join the Confederacy . The ensuing war lasted four years , effectively ending in April 1865 with the surrender of General Robert E. Lee 's Army of Northern Virginia at Appomatox Courthouse . Charleston Harbor was completely in Confederate hands for almost the entire four - year duration of the war , leaving a hole in the Union naval blockade . Union forces conducted major operations in 1862 and 1863 to capture Charleston , first overland on James Island ( the Battle of Secessionville , June 1862 ) , then by naval assault against Fort Sumter ( the First Battle of Charleston Harbor , April 1863 ) , then by seizing the Confederate artillery positions on Morris Island ( beginning with the Second Battle of Fort Wagner , July 1863 , and followed by a siege until September ) . After pounding Sumter to rubble with artillery fire , a final amphibious operation attempted to occupy it ( the Second Battle of Fort Sumter , September 1863 ) , but was repulsed and no further attempts were made . The Confederates evacuated Fort Sumter and Charleston in February 1865 as Union Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman outflanked the city in the Carolinas Campaign . On April 14 , 1865 , four years to the day after lowering the Fort Sumter Flag in surrender , Robert Anderson ( by then a major general , although ill and in retired status ) returned to the ruined fort to raise the flag he had lowered in 1861 . Two of the cannons used at Fort Sumter were later presented to Louisiana State University by General William Tecumseh Sherman , who was president of the university before the war began . Tributes Civil War Centennial Issue of 1961 The U.S. Post Office Department released the Fort Sumter Centennial issue as the first in the series of five stamps marking the Civil War Centennial on April 12 , 1961 , at the Charleston post office . The stamp was designed by Charles R. Chickering . It illustrates a seacoast gun from Fort Sumter aimed by an officer in a typical uniform of the time . The background features palmetto leaves akin to bursting shells . The state tree of South Carolina , the palmettos suggest the geopolitical area opening Civil War hostilities . This stamp was produced by an engraving and printed by the rotary process in panes of fifty stamps each . The Postal Department authorized an initial printing of 120 million stamps .

Marginal product of labor

Marginal product of labor - wikipedia Marginal product of labor Jump to : navigation , search In economics , the marginal product of labor ( MP ) is the change in output that results from employing an added unit of labor . Contents ( hide ) 1 Definition 2 Examples 3 Marginal costs 4 Relation between MP and AP 5 Diminishing marginal returns 6 MP , MRP and profit maximization 6.1 Example 7 Marginal productivity ethics 8 See also 9 Footnotes 10 References Definition ( edit ) The marginal product of a factor of production is generally defined as the change in output associated with a change in that factor , holding other inputs into production constant . The marginal product of labor is then the change in output ( Y ) per unit change in labor ( L ) . In discrete terms the marginal product of labor is : Δ Y Δ L . ( \ displaystyle ( \ frac ( \ Delta Y ) ( \ Delta L ) ) . ) In continuous terms , the MP is the first derivative of the production function : ∂ Y ∂ L . ( \ displaystyle ( \ frac ( \ partial Y ) ( \ partial L ) ) . ) Graphically , the MP is the slope of the production function . Examples ( edit ) Marginal product of labor table There is a factory which produces toys . When there are no workers in the factory , no toys are produced . When there is one worker in the factory , six toys are produced per hour . When there are two workers in the factory , eleven toys are produced per hour . There is a marginal product of labor of five when there are two workers in the factory compared to one . When the marginal product of labor is increasing , this is called increasing marginal returns . However , as the number of workers increases , the marginal product of labor may not increase indefinitely . When not scaled properly , the marginal product of labor may go down when the number of employees goes up , creating a situation known as diminishing marginal returns . When the marginal product of labor becomes negative , it is known as negative marginal returns . Marginal costs ( edit ) The marginal product of labor is directly related to costs of production . Costs are divided between fixed and variable costs . Fixed costs are costs that relate to the fixed input , capital , or rK , where r is the rental cost of capital and K is the quantity of capital . Variable costs ( VC ) are the costs of the variable input , labor , or wL , where w is the wage rate and L is the amount of labor employed . Thus , VC = wL . Marginal cost ( MC ) is the change in total cost per unit change in output or ∆ C / ∆ Q. In the short run , production can be varied only by changing the variable input . Thus only variable costs change as output increases : ∆ C = ∆ VC = ∆ ( wL ) . Marginal cost is ∆ ( Lw ) / ∆ Q. Now , ∆ L / ∆ Q is the reciprocal of the marginal product of labor ( ∆ Q / ∆ L ) . Therefore , marginal cost is simply the wage rate w divided by the marginal product of labor MC = ∆ VC ∕ ∆ Q ; ∆ VC = w ∆ L ; ∆ L ∕ ∆ Q ( the change in quantity of labor to effect a one unit change in output ) = 1 ∕ MP . Therefore MC = w ∕ MP Thus if the marginal product of labor is rising then marginal costs will be falling and if the marginal product of labor is falling marginal costs will be rising ( assuming a constant wage rate ) . Relation between MP and AP ( edit ) The average product of labor is the total product of labor divided by the number of units of labor employed , or Q / L. The average product of labor is a common measure of labor productivity . The AP curve is shaped like an inverted `` u '' . At low production levels the AP tends to increase as additional labor is added . The primary reason for the increase is specialization and division of labor . At the point the AP reaches its maximum value AP equals the MP . Beyond this point the AP falls . During the early stages of production MP is greater than AP . When the MP is above the AP the AP will increase . Eventually the MP reaches it maximum value at the point of diminishing returns . Beyond this point MP will decrease . However , at the point of diminishing returns the MP is still above the AP and AP will continue to increase until MP equals AP . When MP is below AP , AP will decrease . Graphically , the AP curve can be derived from the total product curve by drawing secants from the origin that intersect ( cut ) the total product curve . The slope of the secant line equals the average product of labor , where the slope = dQ / dL . The slope of the curve at each intersection marks a point on the average product curve . The slope increases until the line reaches a point of tangency with the total product curve . This point marks the maximum average product of labor . It also marks the point where MP ( which is the slope of the total product curve ) equals the AP ( the slope of the secant ) . Beyond this point the slope of the secants become progressively smaller as AP declines . The MP curve intersects the AP curve from above at the maximum point of the AP curve . Thereafter , the MP curve is below the AP curve . Diminishing marginal returns ( edit ) The falling MP is due to the law of diminishing marginal returns . The law states , `` as units of one input are added ( with all other inputs held constant ) a point will be reached where the resulting additions to output will begin to decrease ; that is marginal product will decline . '' The law of diminishing marginal returns applies regardless of whether the production function exhibits increasing , decreasing or constant returns to scale . The key factor is that the variable input is being changed while all other factors of production are being held constant . Under such circumstances diminishing marginal returns are inevitable at some level of production . Diminishing marginal returns differs from diminishing returns . Diminishing marginal returns means that the marginal product of the variable input is falling . Diminishing returns occur when the marginal product of the variable input is negative . That is when a unit increase in the variable input causes total product to fall . At the point that diminishing returns begin the MP is zero . MP , MRP and profit maximization ( edit ) The general rule is that a firm maximizes profit by producing that quantity of output where marginal revenue equals marginal costs . The profit maximization issue can also be approached from the input side . That is , what is the profit maximizing usage of the variable input ? To maximize profits the firm should increase usage `` up to the point where the input 's marginal revenue product equals its marginal costs '' . So , mathematically the profit maximizing rule is MRP = MC . The marginal profit per unit of labor equals the marginal revenue product of labor minus the marginal cost of labor or Mπ = MRP − MC A firm maximizes profits where Mπ = 0 . The marginal revenue product is the change in total revenue per unit change in the variable input assume labor . That is , MRP = ∆ TR / ∆ L. MRP is the product of marginal revenue and the marginal product of labor or MRP = MR × MP . Derivation : MR = ∆ TR / ∆ Q MP = ∆ Q / ∆ L MRP = MR × MP = ( ∆ TR / ∆ Q ) × ( ∆ Q / ∆ L ) = ∆ TR / ∆ L Example ( edit ) Assume that the production function is Q = 90 L − L 2 ( \ displaystyle Q = 90L - L ^ ( 2 ) ) M C L = 30 ( \ displaystyle MC_ ( L ) = 30 ) Output price is $40 per unit . M P L = 90 − 2 L ( \ displaystyle MP_ ( L ) = 90 - 2L ) M R P L = 40 ( 90 − 2 L ) ( \ displaystyle MRP_ ( L ) = 40 ( 90 - 2L ) ) M R P L = 3600 − 80 L ( \ displaystyle MRP_ ( L ) = 3600 - 80L ) M R P L = M C L ( \ displaystyle MRP_ ( L ) = MC_ ( L ) ) ( Profit Max Rule ) 3600 − 80 L = 30 ( \ displaystyle 3600 - 80L = 30 ) 3570 = 80 L ( \ displaystyle 3570 = 80L ) L = 44.625 ( \ displaystyle L = 44.625 ) 44.625 is the profit maximizing number of workers . Q = 90 L − L 2 ( \ displaystyle Q = 90L - L ^ ( 2 ) ) Q = 90 ( 44.625 ) − ( 44.625 ) 2 ( \ displaystyle Q = 90 ( 44.625 ) - ( 44.625 ) ^ ( 2 ) ) Q = 4016.25 − 1991.39 ( \ displaystyle Q = 4016.25 - 1991.39 ) Q = 2024.86 ( \ displaystyle Q = 2024.86 ) Thus , the profit maximizing output is 2025 units And the profit is T R − T C = Π ( \ displaystyle TR - TC = \ Pi ) Π = 40 ( 2025 ) − 30 ( 2025 ) ( \ displaystyle \ Pi = 40 ( 2025 ) - 30 ( 2025 ) ) Π = 81 , 000 − 60 , 750 ( \ displaystyle \ Pi = 81,000 - 60,750 ) Π = 20 , 250 ( \ displaystyle \ Pi = 20,250 ) Some might be confused by the fact that L = 44.625 ( \ displaystyle L = 44.625 ) as intuition would say that labor should be discrete . Remember , however , that labor is actually a time measure as well . Thus , it can be thought of as a worker not working the entire hour . Marginal productivity ethics ( edit ) In the aftermath of the marginal revolution in economics , a number of economists including John Bates Clark and Thomas Nixon Carver sought to derive an ethical theory of income distribution based on the idea that workers were morally entitled to receive a wage exactly equal to their marginal product . In the 20th century , marginal productivity ethics found few supporters among economists , being criticised not only by egalitarians but by economists associated with the Chicago school such as Frank Knight ( in The Ethics of Competition ) and the Austrian School , such as Leland Yeager . However , marginal productivity ethics were defended by George Stigler . See also ( edit ) Marginal product of capital Footnotes ( edit ) Jump up ^ O'Sullivan , Arthur ; Sheffrin , Steven M.

It was created by Eric Monte and Mike Evans , and developed by Norman Lear , the series ' primary executive producer . Good Times was a spin - off of Maude , which was itself a spin - off of All in the Family .

Gilbert Ave. , apartment 17C , in a housing project in a poor , black neighborhood in inner - city Chicago . The project is unnamed on the show , but is implicitly the infamous Cabrini -- Green projects , shown in the opening and closing credits . Florida and James have three children : James Jr. , also known as `` J.J. '' ; Thelma ; and Michael , called `` the militant midget '' by his father due to his passionate activism . When the series begins , J.J. is seventeen years old , Thelma is sixteen , and Michael is eleven . Their exuberant neighbor , and Florida 's best friend , is Willona Woods , a recent divorcée who works at a boutique . Their building superintendent is Nathan Bookman ( seasons 2 -- 6 ) , who James , Willona and later J.J. refer to as `` Buffalo Butt '' , or , even more derisively , `` Booger '' . Florida and son J.J. , 1974 The characters originated on the sitcom Maude as Florida and Henry Evans , with Florida employed as Maude Findlay 's housekeeper in Tuckahoe , New York , and Henry employed as a firefighter . When producers decided to feature the Florida character in her own show , they changed the characters ' history : Henry 's name became James , there was no mention of Maude , and the couple lived in Chicago . Episodes of Good Times deal with the characters ' attempts to overcome poverty living in a high rise project building in Chicago . James Evans often works at least two jobs , mostly manual labor such as dishwasher , construction laborer , etc . Often he is unemployed , but he is a proud man who will not accept charity . When he has to , he hustles money playing pool , although Florida disapproves of this . Cast conflicts ( edit ) Good Times was intended to be a good show for Esther Rolle and John Amos . Both expected the show to deal with serious topics in a comedic way while providing positive characters for viewers to identify with . However , Jimmie Walker 's character of J.J. was an immediate hit with audiences and became the breakout character of the series . J.J. 's frequent use of the expression `` Dy - no - mite ! '' ( often in the phrase `` Kid Dy - no - mite ! '' ) , credited to director John Rich , became a popular catchphrase ( later included in TV Land 's The 100 Greatest TV Quotes and Catch Phrases special ) . Rich insisted Walker say it in every episode . Walker and executive producer Norman Lear were skeptical of the idea , but the phrase and the J.J. Evans character caught on with the audience . As a result of the character 's popularity , the writers focused more on J.J. 's comedic antics instead of serious issues . Through seasons two and three , Rolle and Amos grew increasingly disillusioned with the direction of the show and especially with J.J. 's antics and stereotypically buffoonish behavior . Rolle was vocal about her dislike of his character . In a 1975 interview with Ebony magazine she stated : He 's 18 and he does n't work . He ca n't read or write . He does n't think . The show did n't start out to be that ... Little by little -- with the help of the artist , I suppose , because they could n't do that to me -- they have made J.J. more stupid and enlarged the role . Negative images have been slipped in on us through the character of the oldest child . Although doing so less publicly , Amos also was outspoken about his dissatisfaction with the J.J. character . Amos stated : The writers would prefer to put a chicken hat on J.J. and have him prance around saying `` DY - NO - MITE '' , and that way they could waste a few minutes and not have to write meaningful dialogue . While Amos was less public with his dissatisfaction , he was ultimately fired after season three due to disagreements with Norman Lear . Amos ' departure was initially attributed to his desire to focus on a film career , but he admitted in a 1976 interview that Lear called him and told him that his contract option with the show was not being renewed . Amos stated , `` That 's the same thing as being fired . '' The producers decided not to recast the character of James Evans , instead opting to kill off the character in the two - part season four episode , `` The Big Move '' . Final seasons ( edit ) By the end of season four , Esther Rolle had also become dissatisfied with the show 's direction and decided to leave the series . In the final two episodes of the season , `` Love Has a Spot On His Lung '' , Rolle 's character gets engaged to Carl Dixon ( Moses Gunn ) , a man she began dating toward the end of season four . In the season five premiere episode , it is revealed that Florida and Carl married off screen and moved to Arizona for the sake of Carl 's health . With Amos and Rolle gone , Ja'net Dubois took over as the lead character , as Willona checked in on the Evans children since they were now living alone . In season five Janet Jackson joined the cast , playing Penny Gordon Woods , an abused girl who is abandoned by her mother and eventually adopted by Willona . Before taping of season six began , CBS and the show 's producers decided that they had to do `` something drastic '' to increase viewership . According to then - vice president of CBS programming Steve Mills , `` We had lost the essence of the show . Without parental guidance the show slipped . Everything told us that : our mail , our phone calls , our research . We felt we had to go back to basics . '' Producers approached Esther Rolle with an offer to appear in a guest role on the series . Rolle was initially hesitant but when producers agreed to a number of her demands ( including an increased salary and higher quality scripts ) , she agreed to return to the series on a full - time basis . Rolle also wanted producers to make the character of J.J. more responsible , as she felt the character was a poor role model for black American youths . She also requested that producers write out the character of Carl Dixon ; Rolle reportedly disliked the storyline surrounding the Carl Dixon character , as she believed Florida would not have moved on so quickly after James ' death or leave her children . Rolle also thought the writers had disregarded Florida 's devout Christian beliefs by having her fall for and marry Carl , who was an atheist . In the season six premiere episode `` Florida 's Homecoming : Part 1 '' , Florida returns from Arizona without Carl to attend Thelma 's upcoming wedding to professional football player Keith Anderson ( Ben Powers , who joined the cast for the final season ) . In a rare uncut version of `` Florida 's Homecoming : Part 2 '' , after Florida arrives home from Arizona , Willona briefly pulls her aside and mentions Carl , to which Florida sadly smiles and shakes her head implying that Carl had died from cancer . Florida later mentions Carl one last time when she tells Michael about a book they 'd both bought him . Despite changes in the series at Esther Rolle 's request and her return , ratings did not improve and CBS canceled the series during the 1978 -- 79 season . In the series finale , `` The End of the Rainbow '' , each character finally gets a `` happy ending . '' J.J. gets his big break as an artist for a comic book company with his newly created character , DynoWoman , which is based on Thelma ( much to her surprise and delight ) , and is moving into an apartment with some lady friends . Michael attends college and moves into an on - campus dorm . Keith 's bad knee heals due to his exercise and own physical therapy , leading to the Chicago Bears offering him a contract to play football . Keith announces that he and Thelma are moving into a luxury apartment in the city 's upscale Gold Coast district . Thelma also announces that she is pregnant with the couple 's first child . Keith offers Florida the chance to move in with them so she can help Thelma with the new baby . Willona becomes the head buyer of the boutique she works in and announces that she and Penny are also moving out of the projects . Willona then reveals that her new apartment is in the same apartment building that Keith , Thelma and Florida are moving to ; once again , she and Penny become the Evans ' downstairs neighbors .

'' Minor characters ( edit ) Ned the Wino ( Raymond Allen ) is the local drunk who frequents the neighborhood and the apartment building where the Evans family reside . In the season one episode `` Black Jesus '' , J.J. uses Ned the Wino as the model for a portrait of Jesus . Another episode is centered on Michael 's plan to `` clean up '' Ned and get him off the booze by letting him stay at the Evans ' house . Carl Dixon ( Moses Gunn ) is an atheist shop owner who Michael briefly works for . Despite their religious differences , Carl and Florida begin dating and become engaged in the final episode of season four . Carl breaks off the engagement after he is diagnosed with lung cancer . After a talk from Bookman , Carl again asks Florida for her hand in marriage . The two marry off - screen and move to Arizona . Florida returns at the beginning of season six , without Carl , for Thelma 's wedding . Carl is referenced briefly in episode two of season six , but he is never mentioned again ( Florida continues to use the surname Evans instead of Dixon ) . ( Esther Rolle decided to come back to the show if the character was written out . ) Florida then revealed he died from his battle of lung cancer . Marion `` Sweet Daddy '' Williams ( Theodore Wilson ) is a menacing neighborhood numbers runner and pimp , who has a reputation for wearing flashy clothing and jewelry . He is usually accompanied by bodyguards ( one portrayed by Bubba Smith , the other by series painter Ernie Barnes ) and comes across as cool and threatening , but has shown a soft heart on occasion , particularly when he decided not to take an antique locket ( to settle a debt ) that Florida had given to Thelma because it had reminded him of his late mother . ( Wilson also plays a club owner named Stanley in the season four episode , `` The Comedian and the Loan Sharks '' ) . Alderman Fred C. Davis ( Albert Reed , Jr . ) is a local politician with a slightly shady disposition whom the Evans generally despise . Spoofing President Richard M. Nixon , he would state in a speech `` I am not a crook . '' He frequently relies on the support of the Evans family ( his `` favorite project family '' ) for reelection or support and resorts to threats of eviction to secure their support . In a running joke , Alderman Davis frequently forgets Willona 's name and calls her another similar - sounding name that began with a `` W '' ( such as Wilhemina , Winnifrieda , Winsomnium , Wyomia and even Waldorf - Astoria ) , thus earning him her everlasting ire as well as the nickname `` Baldy '' . Lenny ( Dap ' Sugar ' Willie ) is a neighborhood hustler and peddler who tries to sell presumably stolen items that are usually attached to the lining of his fur coat . He usually approaches people with a laid - back rap and a rhyme ( `` my name is Len - nay , if I ai n't got it , there ai n't an - nay '' ) . He is typically rebuffed by the people he approaches and responds by saying `` that 's cold '' or uses a small brush to `` brush off '' the negativity . `` Grandpa '' Henry Evans ( Richard Ward ) is James ' long lost father . He abandoned the family years before because he was ashamed that he could not do more to provide for them . This hurt James deeply , who disregarded his father 's existence , telling everyone he was dead . Thelma learns about her grandfather while doing some family research . She meets him and invites him to the Evans ' home to surprise James for his birthday , not knowing that James was well aware of his whereabouts but chose to stay out of his life . After Henry arrives at the Evans home and meets the rest of the family , he realizes that James would not welcome him in the home and decides to leave . Florida convinces him to stay and talk to James and explains that there may never be another chance to do so . Henry and James have a heart - to - heart talk , with Henry being remorseful and apologetic . James ultimately forgives his father . After James ' death , the Evans family embraces Henry into the family , alongside his common law ( and eventually legal ) wife Lena in later episodes . Wanda ( Helen Martin ) is another resident in the apartment building where the Evans reside . Earlier episodes show her at a women 's support group , and the tenants rallying around her by giving her a rent party . Later episodes show her appearing and crying at several funerals , whether she knew the person or not , thus earning her the nickname `` Weeping Wanda '' from J.J. and Willona . Mrs. Lynnetta Gordon ( Chip Fields ) is Penny 's abusive biological mother . Her first appearance is in the four part Fifth season opening episode , `` The Evans Get Involved '' . Penny 's father abandoned Mrs. Gordon when she became pregnant . As a result , she takes her anger and frustrations out on Penny , including burning her with a hot iron . After the abuse is finally brought to light , ( during which Mrs. Gordon gets into a shouting match with Willona and Thelma ) she abandons Penny , despite Willona and Thelma 's pleas to her to seek help . Just before she disappears , Mrs. Gordon expresses regret for hurting her child , telling Willona that Penny deserves better than her . This clears the way for Willona to adopt Penny . She reappears more than a year later , in the sixth - season episode , `` A Matter of Mothers '' , having remarried , and reveals that her new husband is from a very wealthy family . Mrs. Gordon uses her husband 's wealth to send Penny anonymous gifts and , in an effort to regain custody of Penny , she also attempts to frame Willona as an unfit adoptive parent who throws wild parties with less than wholesome attendees . However , her scheme is exposed by being recorded on tape admitting that the scheme was a set up to get Penny back . After trying to get the tape from Penny and threatening her again with physical abuse ( which is stopped by Willona ) , Penny outright rejects Mrs. Gordon , telling her birth mother that no matter what anyone says , she would always consider Willona to be her real mother .

The series also features a character named `` Michael Evans '' , after co-creator Mike Evans who portrayed Lionel Jefferson on the Norman Lear - produced series All in the Family and The Jeffersons . Theme song and opening sequence ( edit ) The gospel - styled theme song was composed by Dave Grusin with lyrics written by Alan and Marilyn Bergman . It was sung by Jim Gilstrap and Motown singer Blinky Williams with a gospel choir providing background vocals . The lyrics to the theme song are notorious for being hard to discern , notably the line `` Hangin ' in a chow line '' / `` Hangin ' in and jivin ' '' ( depending on the source used ) . Dave Chappelle used this part of the lyrics as a quiz in his `` I Know Black People '' skit on Chappelle 's Show in which the former was claimed as the answer . The insert for the Season One DVD box set has the lyric as `` Hangin ' in a chow line '' . However , the Bergmans confirmed that the lyric is actually `` Hangin ' in and jivin ' . '' Slightly different lyrics were used for the closing credits , with the song beginning on a verse instead of the chorus . Episodes ( edit ) Main article : List of Good Times episodes Reception ( edit ) Ratings ( edit ) The Evans family ( l -- r ) Michael , Thelma , J.J. , Florida , and James The program premiered in February 1974 ; high ratings led CBS to renew the program for the 1974 -- 75 season , as it was the seventeenth - highest - rated program that year . During its first full season on the air , 1974 -- 75 , the show was the seventh - highest - rated program in the Nielsen ratings , with more than 25 % of all American households tuning into an episode each week . Three of the top ten highest - rated programs on American TV that season centered on the lives of African - Americans : Sanford and Son , The Jeffersons , and Good Times . The Nielsen ratings for the series declined over time , partly because of its many time slot changes and the departure of John Amos . The ratings went down considerably when the show entered its final two seasons : Season TV Season No. of Episodes Time slot ( ET ) Nielsen ratings Rank Rating 1973 -- 1974 13 Friday at 8 : 30 pm 17 21.4 ( Tied with Barnaby Jones ) 1974 -- 1975 24 Tuesday at 8 : 00 pm 7 25.8 1975 -- 1976 24 24 21.0 1976 -- 1977 24 Wednesday at 8 : 00 pm ( Episodes 1 - 15 , 17 - 24 ) Wednesday at 8 : 30 pm ( Episode 16 ) 26 20.5 5 1977 -- 1978 24 Wednesday at 8 : 00 pm ( Episodes 1 , 3 - 16 ) Wednesday at 8 : 30 pm ( Episode 2 ) Monday at 8 : 00 pm ( Episodes 17 - 24 ) 53 N / A 6 1978 -- 1979 22 Saturday at 8 : 00 pm ( Episode 1 ) Saturday at 8 : 30 pm ( Episodes 2 - 10 ) Wednesday at 8 : 30 pm ( Episodes 11 - 22 ) 83 14.4 Awards and nominations ( edit ) Year Association Recipient ( s ) / work Result Golden Globe Awards Best Supporting Actor -- Television Jimmie Walker Nominated Best TV Actress -- Musical / Comedy Esther Rolle Nominated Best Supporting Actor -- Television Jimmie Walker Nominated Humanitas Prize 30 Minute Category John Baskin and Roger Shulman / episode : `` The Lunch Money Ripoff '' Nominated 30 Minute Category Bob Peete / episode : `` My Girl Henrietta '' Nominated 2006 TV Land Awards Impact Award John Amos , Ralph Carter , Ja'net DuBois , Esther Rolle ( posthumously ) , BernNadette Stanis , and Jimmie Walker Won Syndication ( edit ) The cable network TV One aired reruns of the show since its launch on January 19 , 2004 until 2012 .

Halley is the only known short - period comet that is regularly visible to the naked eye from Earth , and the only naked - eye comet that might appear twice in a human lifetime . Halley last appeared in the inner parts of the Solar System in 1986 and will next appear in mid-2061 . Halley 's returns to the inner Solar System have been observed and recorded by astronomers since at least 240 BC . Clear records of the comet 's appearances were made by Chinese , Babylonian , and medieval European chroniclers , but were not recognized as reappearances of the same object at the time . The comet 's periodicity was first determined in 1705 by English astronomer Edmond Halley , after whom it is now named . During its 1986 apparition , Halley 's Comet became the first comet to be observed in detail by spacecraft , providing the first observational data on the structure of a comet nucleus and the mechanism of coma and tail formation . These observations supported a number of longstanding hypotheses about comet construction , particularly Fred Whipple 's `` dirty snowball '' model , which correctly predicted that Halley would be composed of a mixture of volatile ices -- such as water , carbon dioxide , and ammonia -- and dust . The missions also provided data that substantially reformed and reconfigured these ideas ; for instance , it is now understood that the surface of Halley is largely composed of dusty , non-volatile materials , and that only a small portion of it is icy .

Colin Ronan , one of Edmond Halley 's biographers , preferred / ˈhɔːli / ( HAW - lee , similar to holly ) . Spellings of Halley 's name during his lifetime included Hailey , Haley , Hayley , Halley , Hawley , and Hawly , so its contemporary pronunciation is uncertain . Computation of orbit ( edit ) Halley was the first comet to be recognized as periodic . Until the Renaissance , the philosophical consensus on the nature of comets , promoted by Aristotle , was that they were disturbances in Earth 's atmosphere . This idea was disproved in 1577 by Tycho Brahe , who used parallax measurements to show that comets must lie beyond the Moon . Many were still unconvinced that comets orbited the Sun , and assumed instead that they must follow straight paths through the Solar System . In 1687 , Sir Isaac Newton published his Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica , in which he outlined his laws of gravity and motion . His work on comets was decidedly incomplete . Although he had suspected that two comets that had appeared in succession in 1680 and 1681 were the same comet before and after passing behind the Sun ( he was later found to be correct ; see Newton 's Comet ) , he was unable to completely reconcile comets into his model . Ultimately , it was Newton 's friend , editor and publisher , Edmond Halley , who , in his 1705 Synopsis of the Astronomy of Comets , used Newton 's new laws to calculate the gravitational effects of Jupiter and Saturn on cometary orbits . Having compiled a list of 24 comet observations , he calculated that the orbital elements of a second comet that had appeared in 1682 were nearly the same as those of two comets that had appeared in 1531 ( observed by Petrus Apianus ) and 1607 ( observed by Johannes Kepler ) . Halley thus concluded that all three comets were , in fact , the same object returning about every 76 years , a period that has since been found to vary between 74 -- 79 years . After a rough estimate of the perturbations the comet would sustain from the gravitational attraction of the planets , he predicted its return for 1758 . While he had personally observed the comet around perihelion in September 1682 , Halley died in 1742 before he could observe its predicted return . Halley 's prediction of the comet 's return proved to be correct , although it was not seen until 25 December 1758 , by Johann Georg Palitzsch , a German farmer and amateur astronomer . It did not pass through its perihelion until 13 March 1759 , the attraction of Jupiter and Saturn having caused a retardation of 618 days . This effect was computed prior to its return ( with a one - month error to 13 April ) by a team of three French mathematicians , Alexis Clairaut , Joseph Lalande , and Nicole - Reine Lepaute . The confirmation of the comet 's return was the first time anything other than planets had been shown to orbit the Sun . It was also one of the earliest successful tests of Newtonian physics , and a clear demonstration of its explanatory power . The comet was first named in Halley 's honour by French astronomer Nicolas - Louis de Lacaille in 1759 . Some scholars have proposed that first - century Mesopotamian astronomers already had recognized Halley 's Comet as periodic . This theory notes a passage in the Bavli Talmud that refers to `` a star which appears once in seventy years that makes the captains of the ships err . '' Researchers in 1981 attempting to calculate the past orbits of Halley by numerical integration starting from accurate observations in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries could not produce accurate results further back than 837 due to a close approach to Earth in that year . It was necessary to use ancient Chinese comet observations to constrain their calculations . Orbit and origin ( edit ) The orbital path of Halley , against the orbits of Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus and Neptune . Halley 's orbital period has varied between 74 -- 79 years since 240 BC . Its orbit around the Sun is highly elliptical , with an orbital eccentricity of 0.967 ( with 0 being a circle and 1 being a parabolic trajectory ) . The perihelion , the point in the comet 's orbit when it is nearest the Sun , is just 0.6 AU . This is between the orbits of Mercury and Venus . Its aphelion , or farthest distance from the Sun , is 35 AU ( roughly the distance of Pluto ) . Unusual for an object in the Solar System , Halley 's orbit is retrograde ; it orbits the Sun in the opposite direction to the planets , or , clockwise from above the Sun 's north pole . The orbit is inclined by 18 ° to the ecliptic , with much of it lying south of the ecliptic . ( Because it is retrograde , the true inclination is 162 ° . ) Due to the retrograde orbit , it has one of the highest velocities relative to the Earth of any object in the Solar System . The 1910 passage was at a relative velocity of 70.56 km / s ( 157,838 mph or 254,016 km / h ) . Because its orbit comes close to Earth 's in two places , Halley is associated with two meteor showers : the Eta Aquariids in early May , and the Orionids in late October . Halley is the parent body to the Orionids . Observations conducted around the time of Halley 's appearance in 1986 suggested that the comet could additionally perturb the Eta Aquariids meteor shower , although it might not be the parent of that shower . Orionid meteor originating from Halley 's Comet striking the sky below the Milky Way and to the right of Venus . Halley is classified as a periodic or short - period comet ; one with an orbit lasting 200 years or less . This contrasts it with long - period comets , whose orbits last for thousands of years . Periodic comets have an average inclination to the ecliptic of only ten degrees , and an orbital period of just 6.5 years , so Halley 's orbit is atypical . Most short - period comets ( those with orbital periods shorter than 20 years and inclinations of 20 -- 30 degrees or less ) are called Jupiter - family comet . Those resembling Halley , with orbital periods of between 20 and 200 years and inclinations extending from zero to more than 90 degrees , are called Halley - type comets . As of 2015 , only 75 Halley - type comets have been observed , compared with 511 identified Jupiter - family comets . The orbits of the Halley - type comets suggest that they were originally long - period comets whose orbits were perturbed by the gravity of the giant planets and directed into the inner Solar System . If Halley was once a long - period comet , it is likely to have originated in the Oort cloud , a sphere of cometary bodies that has an inner edge of 20,000 -- 50,000 AU . Conversely the Jupiter - family comets are generally believed to originate in the Kuiper belt , a flat disc of icy debris between 30 AU ( Neptune 's orbit ) and 50 AU from the Sun ( in the scattered disc ) . Another point of origin for the Halley - type comets was proposed in 2008 , when a trans - Neptunian object with a retrograde orbit similar to Halley 's was discovered , 2008 KV 42 , whose orbit takes it from just outside that of Uranus to twice the distance of Pluto . It may be a member of a new population of small Solar System bodies that serves as the source of Halley - type comets . Halley has probably been in its current orbit for 16,000 -- 200,000 years , although it is not possible to numerically integrate its orbit for more than a few tens of apparitions , and close approaches before 837 AD can only be verified from recorded observations . The non-gravitational effects can be crucial ; as Halley approaches the Sun , it expels jets of sublimating gas from its surface , which knock it very slightly off its orbital path . These orbital changes cause delays in its perihelion of four days , average . In 1989 , Boris Chirikov and Vitaly Vecheslavov performed an analysis of 46 apparitions of Halley 's Comet taken from historical records and computer simulations . These studies showed that its dynamics were chaotic and unpredictable on long timescales . Halley 's projected lifetime could be as long as 10 million years . These studies also showed that many physical properties of Halley 's Comet dynamics can be approximately described by a simple symplectic map , known as the Kepler map . More recent work suggests that Halley will evaporate , or split in two , within the next few tens of thousands of years , or will be ejected from the Solar System within a few hundred thousand years . Observations by D.W. Hughes suggest that Halley 's nucleus has been reduced in mass by 80 to 90 % over the last 2,000 to 3,000 revolutions . Structure and composition ( edit ) The nucleus of Halley 's Comet , imaged by the Giotto probe in 1986 . The dark coloration of the nucleus can be observed , as well as the jets of dust and gas erupting from its surface . The Giotto and Vega missions gave planetary scientists their first view of Halley 's surface and structure . Like all comets , as Halley nears the Sun , its volatile compounds ( those with low boiling points , such as water , carbon monoxide , carbon dioxide and other ices ) begin to sublime from the surface of its nucleus . This causes the comet to develop a coma , or atmosphere , up to 100,000 km across . Evaporation of this dirty ice releases dust particles , which travel with the gas away from the nucleus . Gas molecules in the coma absorb solar light and then re-radiate it at different wavelengths , a phenomenon known as fluorescence , whereas dust particles scatter the solar light . Both processes are responsible for making the coma visible . As a fraction of the gas molecules in the coma are ionized by the solar ultraviolet radiation , pressure from the solar wind , a stream of charged particles emitted by the Sun , pulls the coma 's ions out into a long tail , which may extend more than 100 million kilometres into space . Changes in the flow of the solar wind can cause disconnection events , in which the tail completely breaks off from the nucleus . Despite the vast size of its coma , Halley 's nucleus is relatively small : barely 15 kilometres long , 8 kilometres wide and perhaps 8 kilometres thick . Its shape vaguely resembles that of a peanut . Its mass is relatively low ( roughly 2.2 × 10 kg ) and its average density is about 0.6 g / cm , indicating that it is made of a large number of small pieces , held together very loosely , forming a structure known as a rubble pile . Ground - based observations of coma brightness suggested that Halley 's rotation period was about 7.4 days . Images taken by the various spacecraft , along with observations of the jets and shell , suggested a period of 52 hours . Given the irregular shape of the nucleus , Halley 's rotation is likely to be complex . Although only 25 % of Halley 's surface was imaged in detail during the flyby missions , the images revealed an extremely varied topography , with hills , mountains , ridges , depressions , and at least one crater . Halley is the most active of all the periodic comets , with others , such as Comet Encke and Comet Holmes , being one or two orders of magnitude less active . Its day side ( the side facing the Sun ) is far more active than the night side . Spacecraft observations showed that the gases ejected from the nucleus were 80 % water vapour , 17 % carbon monoxide and 3 -- 4 % carbon dioxide , with traces of hydrocarbons although more - recent sources give a value of 10 % for carbon monoxide and also include traces of methane and ammonia . The dust particles were found to be primarily a mixture of carbon -- hydrogen -- oxygen -- nitrogen ( CHON ) compounds common in the outer Solar System , and silicates , such as are found in terrestrial rocks . The dust particles decreased in size down to the limits of detection ( ~ 0.001 μm ) . The ratio of deuterium to hydrogen in the water released by Halley was initially thought to be similar to that found in Earth 's ocean water , suggesting that Halley - type comets may have delivered water to Earth in the distant past . Subsequent observations showed Halley 's deuterium ratio to be far higher than that found in Earth 's oceans , making such comets unlikely sources for Earth 's water . Giotto provided the first evidence in support of Fred Whipple 's `` dirty snowball '' hypothesis for comet construction ; Whipple postulated that comets are icy objects warmed by the Sun as they approach the inner Solar System , causing ices on their surfaces to sublimate ( change directly from a solid to a gas ) , and jets of volatile material to burst outward , creating the coma . Giotto showed that this model was broadly correct , though with modifications . Halley 's albedo , for instance , is about 4 % , meaning that it reflects only 4 % of the sunlight hitting it ; about what one would expect for coal . Thus , despite appearing brilliant white to observers on Earth , Halley 's Comet is in fact pitch black . The surface temperature of evaporating `` dirty ice '' ranges from 170 K ( − 103 ° C ) at higher albedo to 220 K ( − 53 ° C ) at low albedo ; Vega 1 found Halley 's surface temperature to be in the range 300 -- 400 K ( 27 -- 127 ° C ) . This suggested that only 10 % of Halley 's surface was active , and that large portions of it were coated in a layer of dark dust that retained heat . Together , these observations suggested that Halley was in fact predominantly composed of non-volatile materials , and thus more closely resembled a `` snowy dirtball '' than a `` dirty snowball '' . History ( edit ) Prior to 1066 ( edit ) Observation of Halley 's Comet , recorded in cuneiform on a clay tablet between 22 and 28 September 164 BC , Babylon , Iraq . British Museum ( BM 41462 ) Halley may have been recorded as early as 467 BC , but this is uncertain . A comet was recorded in ancient Greece between 468 and 466 BC ; its timing , location , duration , and associated meteor shower all suggest it was Halley . According to Pliny the Elder , that same year a meteorite fell in the town of Aegospotami , in Thrace . He described it as brown in colour and the size of a wagon load . Chinese chroniclers also mention a comet in that year . Report of Halley 's Comet by Chinese astronomers in 240 BC ( Shiji ) The first certain appearance of Halley 's Comet in the historical record is a description from 240 BC , in the Chinese chronicle Records of the Grand Historian or Shiji , which describes a comet that appeared in the east and moved north . The only surviving record of the 164 BC apparition is found on two fragmentary Babylonian tablets , now owned by the British Museum . The apparition of 87 BC was recorded in Babylonian tablets which state that the comet was seen `` day beyond day '' for a month . This appearance may be recalled in the representation of Tigranes the Great , an Armenian king who is depicted on coins with a crown that features , according to Vahe Gurzadyan and R. Vardanyan , `` a star with a curved tail ( that ) may represent the passage of Halley 's Comet in 87 BC . '' Gurzadyan and Vardanyan argue that `` Tigranes could have seen Halley 's Comet when it passed closest to the Sun on August 6 in 87 BC '' as the comet would have been a `` most recordable event '' ; for ancient Armenians it could have heralded the New Era of the brilliant King of Kings . The apparition of 12 BC was recorded in the Book of Han by Chinese astronomers of the Han Dynasty who tracked it from August through October . It passed within 0.16 AU of Earth . According to the Roman historian Cassius Dio , a comet appeared suspended over Rome for several days portending the death of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa in that year . Halley 's appearance in 12 BC , only a few years distant from the conventionally assigned date of the birth of Jesus Christ , has led some theologians and astronomers to suggest that it might explain the biblical story of the Star of Bethlehem . There are other explanations for the phenomenon , such as planetary conjunctions , and there are also records of other comets that appeared closer to the date of Jesus ' birth . If , as has been suggested , the reference in the Talmud to `` a star which appears once in seventy years that makes the captains of the ships err '' ( see above ) refers to Halley 's Comet , it may be a reference to the 66 AD appearance , because this passage is attributed to the Rabbi Yehoshua ben Hananiah . This apparition was the only one to occur during ben Hananiah 's lifetime . The 141 AD apparition was recorded in Chinese chronicles . It was also recorded in the Tamil work Purananuru , in connection with the death of the south Indian Chera king Yanaikatchai Mantaran Cheral Irumporai . The 374 AD and 607 approaches each came within 0.09 AU of Earth . The 684 AD apparition was recorded in Europe in one of the sources used by the compiler of the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicles ; it is the oldest - known picture of a comet . Chinese records also report it as the `` broom star '' . The 451 AD apparition was said to herald the defeat of Attila the Hun at the Battle of Chalons . In 837 , Halley 's Comet may have passed as close as 0.03 AU ( 3.2 million miles ; 5.1 million kilometres ) from Earth , by far its closest approach . Its tail may have stretched 60 degrees across the sky . It was recorded by astronomers in China , Japan , Germany , the Byzantine Empire , and the Middle East . In 912 , Halley is recorded in the Annals of Ulster , which state `` A dark and rainy year . A comet appeared . '' 1066 ( edit ) Halley 's Comet in 1066 depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry . In 1066 , the comet was seen in England and thought to be an omen : later that year Harold II of England died at the Battle of Hastings ; it was a bad omen for Harold , but a good omen for the man who defeated him , William the Conqueror . The comet is represented on the Bayeux Tapestry and described in the tituli as a star . Surviving accounts from the period describe it as appearing to be four times the size of Venus and shining with a light equal to a quarter of that of the Moon . Halley came within 0.10 AU of Earth at that time . This appearance of the comet is also noted in the Anglo - Saxon Chronicle . Eilmer of Malmesbury may have seen Halley previously in 989 , as he wrote of it in 1066 : `` You 've come , have you ? ... You 've come , you source of tears to many mothers , you evil . I hate you ! It is long since I saw you ; but as I see you now you are much more terrible , for I see you brandishing the downfall of my country . I hate you ! '' The Irish Annals of the Four Masters recorded the comet as `` A star ( that ) appeared on the seventh of the Calends of May , on Tuesday after Little Easter , than whose light the brilliance or light of The Moon was not greater ; and it was visible to all in this manner till the end of four nights afterwards . '' Chaco Native Americans in New Mexico may have recorded the 1066 apparition in their petroglyphs . 1145 -- 1378 ( edit ) The Adoration of the Magi ( circa 1305 ) by Giotto , who purportedly modeled the star of Bethlehem on Halley , which had been sighted 4 years prior to this painting . The 1145 apparition was recorded by the monk Eadwine . The 1986 apparition exhibited a fan tail similar to Eadwine 's drawing . Some claim that Genghis Khan was inspired to turn his conquests toward Europe by the 1222 apparition . The 1301 apparition may have been seen by the artist Giotto di Bondone , who represented the Star of Bethlehem as a fire - colored comet in the Nativity section of his Arena Chapel cycle , completed in 1305 . Its 1378 appearance is recorded in the Annales Mediolanenses as well as in East Asian sources . 1456 ( edit ) 1456 comet in Zodiac In 1456 , the year of Halley 's next apparition , the Ottoman Empire invaded the Kingdom of Hungary , culminating in the Siege of Belgrade in July of that year . In a papal bull , Pope Callixtus III ordered special prayers be said for the city 's protection . In 1470 , the humanist scholar Bartolomeo Platina wrote in his Lives of the Popes that , A hairy and fiery star having then made its appearance for several days , the mathematicians declared that there would follow grievous pestilence , dearth and some great calamity . Calixtus , to avert the wrath of God , ordered supplications that if evils were impending for the human race He would turn all upon the Turks , the enemies of the Christian name . He likewise ordered , to move God by continual entreaty , that notice should be given by the bells to call the faithful at midday to aid by their prayers those engaged in battle with the Turk . Platina 's account is not mentioned in official records . In the 18th century , a Frenchman further embellished the story , in anger at the Church , by claiming that the Pope had `` excommunicated '' the comet , though this story was most likely his own invention . Halley 's apparition of 1456 was also witnessed in Kashmir and depicted in great detail by Śrīvara , a Sanskrit poet and biographer to the Sultans of Kashmir . He read the apparition as a cometary portent of doom foreshadowing the imminent fall of Sultan Zayn al - Abidin ( AD 1418 / 1420 -- 1470 ) . After witnessing a bright light in the sky which most historians have identified as Halley 's Comet , Zara Yaqob , Emperor of Ethiopia from 1434 to 1468 , founded the city of Debre Berhan ( tr . City of Light ) and made it his capital for the remainder of his reign . 1531 -- 1835 ( edit ) Halley 's periodic returns have been subject to scientific investigation since the 16th century . The three apparitions from 1531 to 1682 were noted by Edmond Halley , enabling him to predict its 1759 return . Streams of vapour observed during the comet 's 1835 apparition prompted astronomer Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel to propose that the jet forces of evaporating material could be great enough to significantly alter a comet 's orbit . Illustrations of prior comet appearances in a 1910 popular science publication 1682 1759 1835 1910 ( edit ) A photograph of Halley 's Comet taken during its 1910 approach The 1910 approach , which came into naked - eye view around 10 April and came to perihelion on 20 April , was notable for several reasons : it was the first approach of which photographs exist , and the first for which spectroscopic data were obtained . Furthermore , the comet made a relatively close approach of 0.15 AU , making it a spectacular sight . Indeed , on 19 May , Earth actually passed through the tail of the comet . One of the substances discovered in the tail by spectroscopic analysis was the toxic gas cyanogen , which led astronomer Camille Flammarion to claim that , when Earth passed through the tail , the gas `` would impregnate the atmosphere and possibly snuff out all life on the planet . '' His pronouncement led to panicked buying of gas masks and quack `` anti-comet pills '' and `` anti-comet umbrellas '' by the public . In reality , as other astronomers were quick to point out , the gas is so diffuse that the world suffered no ill effects from the passage through the tail . The comet added to the unrest in China on the eve of the Xinhai Revolution that would end the last dynasty in 1911 . As James Hutson , a missionary in Sichuan Province at the time , recorded , The people believe that it indicates calamity such as war , fire , pestilence , and a change of dynasty . In some places on certain days the doors were unopened for half a day , no water was carried and many did not even drink water as it was rumoured that pestilential vapour was being poured down upon the earth from the comet . '' The 1910 visitation is also recorded as being the travelling companion of Hedley Churchward , the first known English Muslim to make the Haj pilgrimage to Mecca . However , his explanation of its scientific predictability did not meet with favour in the Holy City . The comet was also fertile ground for hoaxes . One that reached major newspapers claimed that the Sacred Followers , a supposed Oklahoma religious group , attempted to sacrifice a virgin to ward off the impending disaster , but were stopped by the police . American satirist and writer Mark Twain was born on 30 November 1835 , exactly two weeks after the comet 's perihelion . In his autobiography , published in 1909 , he said , I came in with Halley 's comet in 1835 . It is coming again next year , and I expect to go out with it . It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I do n't go out with Halley 's comet . The Almighty has said , no doubt : ' Now here are these two unaccountable freaks ; they came in together , they must go out together . ' Twain died on 21 April 1910 , the day following the comet 's subsequent perihelion . The 1985 fantasy film The Adventures of Mark Twain was inspired by the quotation . Halley 's 1910 apparition is distinct from the Great Daylight Comet of 1910 , which surpassed Halley in brilliance and was actually visible in broad daylight for a short period , approximately four months before Halley made its appearance . 1986 ( edit ) Daily motion across sky during 1986 passage Halley 's Comet in 1986 1986 USSR miniature sheet , featuring Edmond Halley , Comet Halley , Vega 1 , Vega 2 , Giotto , Suisei ( Planet - A ) Halley 's 1986 apparition was the least favourable on record . The comet and Earth were on opposite sides of the Sun in February 1986 , creating the worst viewing circumstances for Earth observers for the last 2,000 years . Halley 's closest approach was 0.42 AU . Additionally , with increased light pollution from urbanization , many people failed to even see the comet . It was possible to observe it in areas outside of cities with the help of binoculars . Further , the comet appeared brightest when it was almost invisible from the northern hemisphere in March and April . Halley 's approach was first detected by astronomers David Jewitt and G. Edward Danielson on 16 October 1982 using the 5.1 m Hale telescope at Mount Palomar and a CCD camera . The first person to visually observe the comet on its 1986 return was amateur astronomer Stephen James O'Meara on 24 January 1985 . O'Meara used a home - built 24 - inch telescope on top of Mauna Kea to detect the magnitude 19.6 comet . On 8 November 1985 , Stephen Edberg ( then serving as the Coordinator for Amateur Observations at NASA 's Jet Propulsion Laboratory ) and Charles Morris were the first to observe Halley 's Comet with the naked eye in its 1986 apparition . Although Halley 's Comet 's retrograde orbit and high inclination make it difficult to send a space probe to it , the 1986 apparition gave scientists the opportunity to closely study the comet , and several probes were launched to do so . The Soviet Vega 1 started returning images of Halley on 4 March 1986 , and the first ever of its nucleus , and made its flyby on 6 March , followed by Vega 2 making its flyby on 9 March . On 14 March , the Giotto space probe , launched by the European Space Agency , made the closest pass of the comet 's nucleus . There were also two Japanese probes , Suisei and Sakigake . The probes were unofficially known as the Halley Armada . Based on data retrieved by Astron , the largest ultraviolet space telescope of the time , during its Halley 's Comet observations in December 1985 , a group of Soviet scientists developed a model of the comet 's coma . The comet was also observed from space by the International Cometary Explorer . Originally International Sun - Earth Explorer 3 , the probe was renamed and freed from its L Lagrangian point location in Earth 's orbit to intercept comets 21P / Giacobini - Zinner and Halley . Two Space Shuttle missions -- the ill - fated STS - 51 - L ( ended by the Challenger disaster ) and STS - 61 - E -- were scheduled to observe Halley 's Comet from low Earth orbit . STS - 51 - L carried the Shuttle - Pointed Tool for Astronomy ( SPARTAN - 203 ) satellite , also called the Halley 's Comet Experiment Deployable ( HCED ) . STS - 61 - E was a Columbia mission scheduled for March 1986 , carrying the ASTRO - 1 platform to study the comet . Due to the suspension of America 's manned space program after the Challenger explosion , the mission was canceled , and ASTRO - 1 would not fly until late 1990 on STS - 35 . After 1986 ( edit ) Halley 's Comet observed in 2003 at 28 AU from the Sun On 12 February 1991 , at a distance of 14.4 AU ( 2.15 × 10 km ) from the Sun , Halley displayed an outburst that lasted for several months , releasing a cloud of dust 300,000 km across . The outburst likely started in December 1990 , and then the comet brightened from magnitude 24.3 to magnitude 18.9 . Halley was most recently observed in 2003 by three of the Very Large Telescopes at Paranal , Chile , when Halley 's magnitude was 28.2 . The telescopes observed Halley , at the faintest and farthest any comet has ever been imaged , in order to verify a method for finding very faint trans - Neptunian objects . Astronomers are now able to observe the comet at any point in its orbit . 2061 ( edit ) The next predicted perihelion of Halley 's Comet is 28 July 2061 , when it is expected to be better positioned for observation than during the 1985 -- 1986 apparition , as it will be on the same side of the Sun as Earth . It is expected to have an apparent magnitude of − 0.3 , compared with only + 2.1 for the 1986 apparition . It has been calculated that on 9 September 2060 , Halley will pass within 0.98 AU ( 147,000,000 km ) of Jupiter , and then on 20 August 2061 will pass within 0.0543 AU ( 8,120,000 km ) of Venus . In 2134 , Halley is expected to pass within 0.09 AU ( 13,000,000 km ) of Earth . Its apparent magnitude is expected to be − 2.0 . Apparitions ( edit ) Halley 's calculations enabled the comet 's earlier appearances to be found in the historical record . The following table sets out the astronomical designations for every apparition of Halley 's Comet from 240 BC , the earliest documented widespread sighting . For example , `` 1P / 1982 U1 , 1986 III , 1982i '' indicates that for the perihelion in 1986 , Halley was the first period comet known ( designated 1P ) and this apparition was the first seen in half - month U ( the second half of October ) in 1982 ( giving 1P / 1982 U1 ) ; it was the third comet past perihelion in 1986 ( 1986 III ) ; and it was the ninth comet spotted in 1982 ( provisional designation 1982i ) . The perihelion dates of each apparition are shown . The perihelion dates farther from the present are approximate , mainly because of uncertainties in the modelling of non-gravitational effects . Perihelion dates of 1531 and earlier are in the Julian calendar , while perihelion dates 1607 and after are in the Gregorian calendar . Halley 's Comet is visible from Earth every 74 -- 79 years . Designation Year BC / AD Gap ( years ) Date of perihelion Visible duration Closest approach Description 1P / − 239 K1 , − 239 240 BC -- 15 May 15 -- 25 May First confirmed sighting . 1P / − 163 U1 , − 163 164 BC 76 20 May Seen by Babylonians . 1P / − 86 Q1 , − 86 87 BC 77 15 August 6 -- 19 August Seen by the Babylonians and Chinese . 1P / − 11 Q1 , − 11 12 BC 75 8 October August -- 10 October 0.16 AU Watched by Chinese for two months . 1P / 66 B1 , 66 66 78 26 January 25 -- 26 January May be the comet described in Josephus 's The Jewish War as ' A comet of the kind called Xiphias , because their tails appear to represent the blade of a sword ' that supposedly heralded the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD . 1P / 141 F1 , 141 141 75 25 March 22 -- 25 March Described by the Chinese as bluish - white in colour 1P / 218 H1 , 218 218 77 6 April 6 April -- 17 May Described by the Roman historian Dion Cassius as ' a very fearful star ' . 1P / 295 J1 , 295 295 77 7 April 7 -- 20 April Seen in China , but not spectacular . 1P / 374 E1 , 374 374 79 13 February 13 -- 16 February 0.09 AU Comet passed 13.5 million kilometres from Earth . 1P / 451 L1 , 451 451 77 3 July 28 June -- 3 July Appeared before the defeat of Attila the Hun at the Battle of Chalons . 1P / 530 Q1 , 530 530 79 15 November 27 September -- 15 November Noted in China and Europe , but not spectacular . 1P / 607 H1 , 607 607 77 26 March 15 -- 26 March 0.09 AU Comet passed 13.5 million kilometres from Earth . 1P / 684 R1 , 684 684 77 26 November 2 October -- 26 November First known Japanese records of the comet .

This is the last appearance of the comet for which Oriental records are better than Western ones . 1P / 1456 K1 , 1456 1456 78 8 January 8 January -- 9 June Observed in Italy by Paolo Toscanelli , who said its head was ' as large as the eye of an ox ' , with a tail ' fan - shaped like that of a peacock ' . Arabs said the tail resembled a Turkish scimitar . Turkish forces attacked Belgrade . 1P / 1531 P1 , 1531 1531 75 26 August 26 August Seen by Peter Apian , who noted that its tail always pointed away from the Sun .
