The tournament was first held in 1987 , when the tournament was co-hosted by New Zealand and Australia . New Zealand are the current champions , having defeated Australia in the final of the 2015 tournament in England . The winners are awarded the William Webb Ellis Cup , named after William Webb Ellis , the Rugby School pupil who -- according to a popular legend -- invented rugby by picking up the ball during a football game . Four countries have won the trophy ; New Zealand have won it three times , two teams have won twice , Australia and South Africa , while England have won it once . The tournament is administered by World Rugby , the sport 's international governing body . Sixteen teams were invited to participate in the inaugural tournament in 1987 , however since 1999 twenty teams have taken part . Japan will host the next event in 2019 and France will host in 2023 .

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

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

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

The Australia Act 1986 established specifically , only the State Premier could now advise the Queen on appointment or removal of a State Governor . Nonetheless , the Queen could still exercise any of her powers with respect to the State if she was `` personally present '' in the State .

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

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

Unfortunately , both Orloff and Hapgood used a different version for the Psalms ( that of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer ) , thereby giving us two translations in the same services .

why is the bible called the king james version

It was first printed by Robert Barker , the King 's Printer , and was the third translation into English approved by the English Church authorities : The first had been the Great Bible , commissioned in the reign of King Henry VIII ( 1535 ) , and the second had been the Bishops ' Bible , commissioned in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I ( 1568 ) . In January 1604 , King James I convened the Hampton Court Conference , where a new English version was conceived in response to the problems of the earlier translations perceived by the Puritans , a faction of the Church of England . The translation is noted for its `` majesty of style '' , and has been described as one of the most important books in English culture and a driving force in the shaping of the English - speaking world .

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

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

where was the movie it's complicated filmed

While the majority of the film is set in Santa Barbara , California , most of the filming -- including nearly all of the interiors -- took place in New York City . Principal photography began on February 18 , 2009 at the Broadway Stages in the Brooklyn borough , where the interior scenes of Jane 's house were shot . Several other key locations were used during the first portion of filming in New York , including Picnic House , a large , studio - sized structure in Brooklyn 's Prospect Park , where Jane 's bakery was built inside ; the facilities at Sarabeth 's Bakery in the Chelsea Market ; and a commercial loft building in New York 's Chelsea district , where scenes at Adam 's architecture office were filmed in . As Martin was soon to embark on a concert tour to promote The Crow : New Songs for the Five - String Banjo ( 2009 ) , his schedule required the team to complete shooting his scenes during the first two months of filming .

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

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

how many flights to the top of the eiffel tower

The tower has three levels for visitors , with restaurants on the first and second levels . The top level 's upper platform is 276 m ( 906 ft ) above the ground -- the highest observation deck accessible to the public in the European Union . Tickets can be purchased to ascend by stairs or lift to the first and second levels . The climb from ground level to the first level is over 300 steps , as is the climb from the first level to the second . Although there is a staircase to the top level , it is usually accessible only by lift .

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

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

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

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( November 2007 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Using or possessing a radar detector or jammer is illegal in certain countries , and it may result in fines , seizure of the device , or both . These prohibitions generally are introduced under the premise that a driver who uses a radar detector will pose a greater risk of accident than a driver who does not . The table below provides information about laws regarding radar detectors in particular nations . In 1967 devices to warn drivers of radar speed traps were being manufactured in the United Kingdom ; they were deemed illegal under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 . Country Legality Radar Bands Australia Illegal in all states besides Western Australia They are illegal to use in a moving vehicle ( as stated by the traffic laws in ) SA , NSW , ACT , NT , Queensland and Tasmania . In the state of Victoria it is an offence to sell , use or possess a radar detector , and police may confiscate such equipment if found in a vehicle . Heavy fines apply , ranging from AU $200 -- $1,700 , up to nine demerit points , and confiscation of the radar detector . However , importing a unit is permitted under Australian customs regulations . Queensland = up to 40 penalty units ( approximately equal to $3,000 ) for being in or on a vehicle whether or not the device is operating or in working order . K , Ka , Laser Belgium Illegal In July 2006 , a provisional seizure of a vehicle worth over € 75,000 and destruction of the radar detector was ordered by the courts . The driver 's licence was suspended for three months . Brazil Illegal in all states . Bulgaria Detectors legal , jammers illegal . Radar jammers are illegal . X , K ( fixed camera + radar ) Canada Legal in British Columbia , Alberta , and Saskatchewan . Illegal in Newfoundland and Labrador , Nova Scotia , Prince Edward Island , New Brunswick , Quebec , Ontario , Manitoba , Yukon , Northwest Territories and Nunavut . Regardless of whether they are used or not , police there may confiscate radar detectors , operational or not , and impose substantial fines in provinces where radar detectors are illegal . Quebec penalizes $500 CAD for use of a radar detector , along with confiscation of the device . K , Ka , Laser China Detectors legal , jammers illegal Croatia Detectors and jammers are illegal to use or to have in a motor vehicle . HRK 2000 ( € 270 ) fine if using a jammer . Only confiscation for a detector . Czech Republic Detectors legal , jammers illegal . Fine up to CZK 200,000 ( € 7750 ) , penalty points . Ka Egypt Detectors and jammers are illegal .

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

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

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

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 92 % based on 348 reviews , with an average rating of 8.4 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads : `` The Shape of Water finds Guillermo del Toro at his visually distinctive best -- and matched by an emotionally absorbing story brought to life by a stellar Sally Hawkins performance . '' On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 87 out of 100 , based on 53 critics , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . According to CinemaScore , audience members under the age of 40 gave the film an average grade of either `` A + '' or `` A '' , while those over 40 gave it an `` A '' or `` A − '' , on an A+ to F scale ; PostTrak reported filmgoers gave the film an overall positive score of 80 % . Ben Croll of IndieWire gave the film an ' A ' rating and called it `` one of del Toro 's most stunningly successful works ... also a powerful vision of a creative master feeling totally , joyously free . '' Writing for Rolling Stone , Peter Travers gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars , praising Hawkins 's performance , the cinematography and del Toro 's direction , and saying : `` Even as the film plunges into torment and tragedy , the core relationship between these two unlikely lovers holds us in thrall . Del Toro is a world - class film artist . There 's no sense trying to analyze how he does it . '' For the Minnesota Daily , Haley Bennett reacted positively , writing , `` The Shape of Water has tenderness uncommon to del Toro films ... While The Shape of Water is n't groundbreaking , it is elegant and mesmerizing . '' Conversely , Rex Reed of the New York Observer gave the film 1 out of 4 stars and calling it `` a loopy , lunkheaded load of drivel '' and , referring to Hawkins 's role in Maudie , described people with disabilities as `` defective creatures . '' Reed 's review was criticized for referring to Sally Hawkins ' mute character as `` mentally handicapped '' and for erroneously crediting actor Benicio del Toro as the film 's director .

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

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

In the United States and Canada , Fifty Shades Freed was released alongside Peter Rabbit and The 15 : 17 to Paris , and was projected to gross $37 -- 40 million from 3,700 theaters in its opening weekend . It made $5.6 million from Thursday night previews , down 2 % from the $5.7 million made by Darker the previous year . It ended up making $38.8 million over the weekend , the lowest of the trilogy but still enough to take first place at the box office .

Critical response ( edit ) On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 12 % based on 122 reviews , and an average rating of 3.2 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` Fifty Shades Freed brings its titillating trilogy to a clumsy conclusion , making for a film franchise that adds up to a distinctly dissatisfying ménage à trois . '' On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 31 out of 100 based on 41 critics , indicating `` generally unfavorable reviews . '' Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` B + '' on an A+ to F scale , the same score earned by Darker , while comScore reported that 56 % of females ( who made up 81 % of the opening weekend ) gave the film a `` definite recommend '' . Writing for Variety , Guy Lodge was critical of the film , saying `` Indeed , a sex - free , PG - 13 version of Freed could be cut without shedding a second of narrative coherence , such as it is ; one could ask what the point of that would be , though similar queries might be leveled at the film as it stands . '' Rolling Stone 's Peter Travers gave the film zero out of four , stating `` With this last entry , we have officially hit the bottom of the barrel . Whips , chains , butt plugs and nipple clips are nothing compared to the sheer torture of watching this movie . '' Robbie Collins from The Telegraph gave the film one out of five stars , and wrote `` This is a film in which one of the more emotionally detailed performances is given by a product - placement Audi . '' Jeannette Catsoulis writing for The New York Times found the film to be significantly inferior to Kim Basinger 's 91⁄2 Weeks stating : `` Layering a damp - squib thriller subplot beneath what appears to be an ad campaign for the one - percent lifestyle , the returning director and screenwriter test the newly married couple with an inconvenient pregnancy and an unconvincing car chase . There 's an out - of - left - field abduction and a marital tiff over email addresses ; but these narrative fragments , lazily tossed together alongside a neglected supporting cast , are no more than a flimsy causeway connecting bonking sessions . '' Conversely , IndieWire reviewer Manuela Lazic gave the film three out of four stars , saying `` Finally , the Fifty Shades phenomenon has yielded a disarming comedy that makes this ridiculous material fun to watch .

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

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

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

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

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

Anastasia `` Ana '' Steele : College graduate , PA to Jack Hyde and primary love interest and wife of Christian Grey . Elena Lincoln : Christian 's longtime friend and business partner .

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

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

Brolin said he missed Streisand when they were asleep , and Warren wrote down the words `` I do n't want to miss a thing '' , before there was even a song . Reception ( edit ) `` When I first heard it , '' recalled drummer Joey Kramer , `` it was just a demo with piano and singing . It was difficult to imagine what kind of touch Aerosmith could put on it and make it our own ... As soon as we began playing it as a band , then it instantly became an Aerosmith song . '' This song was Aerosmith 's biggest hit , debuting at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 , where it stayed for four weeks in September , and reaching number 1 around the world , including Australia , the Philippines , Germany , Ireland , Austria , Norway , Italy , the Netherlands , and Switzerland . The chorus is reminiscent of an earlier song Diane Warren that cowrote : `` Just Like Jesse James '' , on Cher 's 1989 album Heart of Stone . The song helped introduce Aerosmith to a new generation and remains a slow dance staple . It was one of many songs written by Warren in that period . The original version was a collaboration between Chicago musician Phil Kosch of Treaty of Paris and Super Happy Fun Club , and nephew of chart topping writer Lou Bega . Bega introduced the two and they penned the initial track , but ultimately Kosch was uncredited . The song was nominated for both an Academy Award for Best Original Song and a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Original Song . Track listing ( edit ) CD single `` I Do n't Want to Miss a Thing '' -- 4 : 57 `` I Do n't Want to Miss a Thing '' ( Rock Mix ) -- 4 : 30 `` Taste of India '' ( Rock Remix ) -- 5 : 52 `` Animal Crackers '' -- 2 : 35 The song appeared on the Argentine version and a European re-released version of the album Nine Lives . It also appeared on the Japanese version of Just Push Play . CD single 2 `` I Do n't Want to Miss a Thing '' ( Pop Mix ) -- 5 : 03 `` Pink '' ( live ) -- 3 : 48 `` Crash '' -- 4 : 30 `` Crash '' and the original `` Pink '' appeared as tracks 9 and 11 , respectively , on all versions of Nine Lives . CD single 3 `` I Do n't Want to Miss a Thing '' -- 4 : 57 `` I Do n't Want to Miss a Thing '' ( Rock Mix ) -- 4 : 30 `` Crash '' -- 4 : 30 `` Animal Crackers '' -- 2 : 35 Music video ( edit ) The music video for this song was shot at the Minneapolis Armory in 1998 and was directed by Francis Lawrence . It features the band playing the song intertwined with scenes from the film Armageddon . It features an appearance by Steven Tyler 's daughter Liv , who plays Grace Stamper in the film . Steven Tyler injured his knee the day before the shoot , so they used a lot of close - ups because his movement was limited . The video begins with shots of the moon in orbit and several asteroids passing by safely and then a view of Earth before zooming in to show Steven Tyler singing . The shots interchange between the band and Mission Control viewing the band singing via their monitors . As the video progresses it reveals that the band is playing in front of what appears to be the fictional Space Shuttle Freedom . Along with Aerosmith , a full hand orchestra plays in sync with the melody . Then smoke surrounds the orchestra and the members of Aerosmith as Freedom takes off from the launch pad . Finally , the screen goes out as a tearful Grace touches one of the monitors to reach out to her father ( real life father Steven Tyler in the video ; on - screen father Harry Stamper , played by Bruce Willis , in the film ) . The video was highly successful and greatly contributed to the song 's success , receiving heavy airplay on MTV and went on to become the second most popular video of 1998 , only behind Brandy and Monica 's `` The Boy is Mine '' . It also won awards for MTV Video Music Award for Best Video from a Film , and Best Video at Boston Music Awards .

I Can Do Bad All by Myself ( film ) - Wikipedia I Can Do Bad All by Myself ( film ) Tyler Perry 's I Can Do Bad All by Myself Theatrical release poster Directed by Tyler Perry Produced by Tyler Perry Reuben Can Written by Tyler Perry Starring Taraji P. Henson Adam Rodriguez Brian White Mary J. Blige Gladys Knight Marvin Winans Tyler Perry Music by Aaron Zigman Cinematography Alexander Gruszynski Edited by Maysie Hoy Production company Tyler Perry Studios Distributed by Lionsgate Release date September 11 , 2009 ( 2009 - 09 - 11 ) Running time 113 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $19 million Box office $51.7 million Tyler Perry 's I Can Do Bad All by Myself is a 2009 romantic musical comedy - drama film which was released on September 11 , 2009 . The film was directed , produced , and written by Tyler Perry , who also makes an appearance in the film as his signature character Madea . Although the film and play share the same title , the film is not an adaptation of Perry 's play of the same name ; the two works have different storylines . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Differences from the stage play 4 Music 5 Reception 5.1 Critical reaction 6 References 7 External links Plot ( edit ) This article 's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed . Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise . ( August 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The film opens with April ( Taraji P. Henson ) , a self - centered , alcoholic singer , performing at a nightclub where she works . On the other side of town , Madea ( Tyler Perry ) and Joe Simmons ( Perry ) catch Jennifer ( Hope Olaidè Wilson ) , Manny ( Kwesi Boakye ) , and Byron ( Freddy Siglar ) breaking into their house . After hearing the children 's troubles , Madea welcomes and feeds them . Jennifer tells Madea that they 're living with their grandmother , whom they have n't seen in four days . They tell Madea that their only other relative is their Aunt April . April shares her home with her shady boyfriend , Randy ( Brian White ) , who 's married with children . The next morning , Madea brings the kids to April 's house , but April does n't want to be bothered . Meanwhile , Pastor Brian ( Marvin Winans ) sends a Colombian immigrant named Sandino ( Adam Rodríguez ) to her house for work and a place to stay . April puts Sandino in her basement and wants to lock him down there because she does n't know him that well . While working around the house , Sandino surprises April by cleaning himself up and becoming very handsome . When Randy arrives , he sees April with the kids and Sandino and heckles him while making subtle advances at Jennifer . Shortly afterward , Pastor Brian and Wilma ( Gladys Knight ) , a church member , come to inform April that her mother died from a fatal brain aneurysm while riding on a city bus . April is devastated by the news and seeks comfort from Randy ; however , he is sleeping and shrugs her off . Later , Sandino comforts April as she tells him about her mother 's death and the last time she spoke with her . Depressed , Jennifer goes to Madea wanting to know how to pray . However , Madea , inexperienced with prayer , attempts to instruct her in a scene that plays out comically . The same night , Wilma sings `` The Need to Be '' , an uplifting song for women , and Tanya ( Mary J. Blige ) , the nightclub bartender , sings `` I Can Do Bad '' . Before singing the song , Tanya is fed up with April 's attitude and tries to help her friend , despite the fact that she ca n't help April if she ca n't help herself . Over time , Sandino and April become best friends , and Sandino fixes a ruined bedroom in her house . This makes Manny and Byron happy , but upsets Jennifer , who feels April does not want them there . While on a date , Sandino tells April he does n't understand why she is with Randy and asks if she loves Randy . He tells her what true love is to him . One Sunday morning , Sandino eagerly knocks on April 's bedroom door to get April ready for church , but Randy threatens to have Sandino deported if he continues to spend time with April . Late the next night , Manny needs his insulin shot , and Jennifer goes to the kitchen to get it . As she prepares the shot , Randy approaches and attempts to rape her , but Sandino fights him off . April walks in on the fight and Randy claims Jennifer offered him sex for money . April claims to believe him and sends Randy to take a bath . When he is in the tub , April threatens to electrocute him with a plugged - in radio . Sandino arrives and tries to stop her , but April is enraged , as she explains that she was sexually assaulted by her step - father , who then lied about it to her mother , thus causing April to lose her faith in the people that cared about her . After saying does he want her to put it down twice , she drops the plugged - in radio into the water , giving Randy a severe electric shock . Randy barely jumps out just in time and Sandino orders him to leave . April goes to the bar for a drink and blames herself for not seeing the signs . Sandino tries to stop her from drinking , but she pushes him away . She then asks Sandino if he is a child molester , because of all the attention he gives the children . Sandino tells April of his childhood as a child laborer and explains that he loves the children so much because he sees himself in them . Feeling hurt at her unfair accusations , Sandino says farewell to the children and leaves . Jennifer and April begin to get along and connect after April tells Jennifer about her bad experience as a child . Jennifer tells April that she should recognize Sandino as a good man . Eventually , Sandino returns and April apologizes to him and admits that she loves him like a friend . Sandino tells her that she ca n't love anyone until she learns to love herself . He tells April that he is in love with her but he wants April to love him back the same way he loves her . He shows her by kissing her . Eventually , April and Sandino get married . April and Sandino then hold a block party for their reception with Tanya singing `` Good Woman Down '' , dedicated to April , then the new couple is shown embracing and sharing a passionate kiss . Cast ( edit ) Taraji P. Henson as April Adam Rodriguez as Sandino Brian White as Randy Mary J. Blige as Tanya Gladys Knight as Wilma Marvin Winans as Pastor Brian Hope Olaidé Wilson as Jennifer Kwesi Boakye as Manny Freddy Siglar as Byron Tyler Perry as Mabel `` Madea '' Simmons and Uncle Joe Simmons Differences from the stage play ( edit ) Tyler Perry 's famous characters , Mr. Brown and Cora , had main roles in the stage play ; they are absent in the film . In the film , several characters refer to Cora , but she is not seen ; Mr. Brown is neither seen nor mentioned . The original plot ( in the stage play ) focused on two sisters feuding because Maylee is engaged to her sister Vivanne 's ex-husband , Anthony , and Anthony is holding her back from her parental responsibilities . In the film , April 's sister is a drug addict and thief who neglected her children and is deceased . Her mother assumed custody of the children but has recently disappeared without explanation , and circumstances have forced April to reluctantly take her niece and nephews in . The stage play characters Vivanne , Keisha , Bobby , Maylee , and Anthony do not exist in the film . Music ( edit ) The film features 13 songs , including two new songs by Blige . Perry was not able to produce a soundtrack album for the film due to the various record companies involved . `` Good Woman Down '' ( Robert F. Aries , Blige , Sean Garrett , Freddie Jackson , Meli'sa Morgan ) -- Mary J. Blige `` I Can Do Bad '' ( Blige , Chuck Harmon , Shaffer Smith ) -- Mary J.

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

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

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

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

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

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

scoring the game 's only goal in a 1 -- 0 victory over the Montreal Maroons . The goal comes at 16 : 30 of sextuple overtime for a total of 176 : 30 of game play . It is also the longest NHL ice hockey game ever played . The game is a mere 3 : 30 short of the equivalent of playing three games back - to - back - to - back . February 4 , 1939 : The Boston Bruins ' Mel Hill scores his third overtime goal of the Bruins ' Stanley Cup semi-final series against the New York Rangers , setting an unsurpassed ( as of now ) NHL record for most overtime goals in a single playoff series , earning him the nickname thereafter of `` Sudden Death '' Hill . The series itself involves four overtime games , two of which go to triple overtime . April 23 , 1950 : Pete Babando scores at 8 : 31 of double overtime to give the Detroit Red Wings a 4 -- 3 win in the seventh game of the 1950 Stanley Cup Finals over the New York Rangers . It is the first time that a seventh game of a Final series goes to overtime .

when did nhl start 3 on 3 overtime

In many leagues ( including the NHL for regular - season games since the 2005 -- 06 season ) and in international competitions , a failure to reach a decision in a single overtime may lead to a shootout . Some leagues may eschew overtime periods altogether and end games in shootout should teams be tied at the end of regulation . In the ECHL , regular season overtime periods are played four on four for one five - minute period . In the Southern Professional Hockey League , regular season overtime periods are played three on three for one five - minute period , with penalties resulting in the opponents skating one additional player on ice ( up to two additional players ) for the penalty for the first three minutes , and a penalty shot in the final two minutes . The AHL , since the 2014 -- 15 season , extended the overtime to seven minutes , with the last three minutes reduced further to three men aside and teams getting an additional skater for each opponent 's penalty . The idea of using 3 - on - 3 skaters for the entirety of a five - minute overtime period for a regular season game was adopted by the NHL on June 24 , 2015 , for use in the 2015 -- 16 NHL season .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

what were the two super powers during the cold war

The Cold War split the temporary wartime alliance against Nazi Germany , leaving the Soviet Union and the United States as two superpowers with profound economic and political differences . The USSR was a Marxist -- Leninist state led by its Communist Party , which in turn was dominated by a leader with different titles over time , and a small committee called the Politburo . The Party controlled the press , the military , the economy and many organizations . It also controlled the other states in the Eastern Bloc , and funded Communist parties around the world , sometimes in competition with Communist China , particularly following the Sino - Soviet split of the 1960s . In opposition stood the capitalist West , led by the United States , a federal republic with a two - party presidential system . The First World nations of the Western Bloc were generally liberal democratic with a free press and independent organizations , but were economically and politically entwined with a network of banana republics and other authoritarian regimes throughout the Third World , most of which were the Western Bloc 's former colonies . Some major Cold War frontlines such as Vietnam , Indonesia , and the Congo were still Western colonies in 1947 .

Speaker is also removed on getting disqualified for being Lok Sabha member under sections 7 & 8 of Representation of the People Act , 1951 . This would arise out of speaker 's wrong certification of a bill as money bill inconsistent with the definition given in Articles 110 of the constitution . When courts uphold the unconstitutional act of the speaker for wrong certification of a bill as money bill , it amounts to disrespecting the constitution deserving conviction under Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act , 1971 which is applicable for disqualification of speaker 's Lok Sabha membership under section 8k of Representation of the People Act , 1951 .

Welcome to Night Vale - wikipedia Welcome to Night Vale Jump to : navigation , search Welcome to Night Vale Presentation Starring Cecil Baldwin Format Comedy news satire surrealism paranormal horror deadpan magical realism Language English Production Opening theme `` The Ballad of Fiedler and Mundt '' by Disparition `` The Ballad of Haydon and Prideaux '' by Disparition , as of August 1 , 2015 Ending theme `` The Ballad of Magnus and Axel '' by Disparition No. of episodes Main series : 109 Live : 5 Bonus : 5 ( List of episodes ) Publication Original release June 15 , 2012 -- present Website Official website Bandcamp page Welcome to Night Vale is a podcast presented as a radio show for the fictional town of Night Vale , reporting on the strange events that occur within it . The series was created in 2012 by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor . Published by Night Vale Presents since March 15 , 2015 , the podcast was previously published by Commonplace Books . Cecil Gershwin Palmer -- the host , main character , and narrator -- is voiced by Cecil Baldwin , while secondary characters are sometimes voiced by guest stars -- such as Dylan Marron , who voices Carlos . The podcast typically airs on the first and fifteenth of every month , and consists of `` news , announcements and advertisements '' from the desert town , located `` somewhere in the Southwestern United States . '' In an interview with NPR , Joseph Fink said that he `` came up with this idea of a town in that desert where all conspiracy theories were real , and we would just go from there with that understood . '' Contents ( hide ) 1 Production 2 Guest stars and guest writers 3 Novels 3.1 Welcome to Night Vale 3.2 It Devours ! 4 Night Vale Presents podcasts 5 Reception 6 References 7 Further reading 8 External links Production ( edit ) Cecil Baldwin as Cecil in the live episode `` The Investigators '' during the 2015 UK tour . See also : List of Welcome to Night Vale episodes Every episode of the podcast includes a piece of music as `` the weather '' , each by a different independently published artist . The theme and background instrumental music to the series were created by the musician and composer Disparition . In October 2013 , Welcome to Night Vale began presenting live shows , which continued into 2014 with a tour of the West Coast . In addition , it was announced during the episode `` The Auction '' that a novel would be published in 2015 . Fink stated that `` it 's going to have all the characters and weird atmosphere that you want from Night Vale , with a brand new story that explores parts of Night Vale that we just have n't been able to get into with the podcast '' . When the book became available for pre-order the following March , it became Amazon 's # 2 title seven months ahead of its October release date . Welcome to Night Vale 's plot consists of longform storytelling . Individual episodes usually function as standalone narratives and only rarely contain significant developments in storyline . The writers employ running jokes and plot arcs , advanced slowly through the events described in the podcast . For example , The Glow Cloud , one of the series ' most iconic characters , hypnotizes the townspeople with its colors and noxious gas , making people chant `` ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY GLOW CLOUD '' , and eventually becomes president of Night Vale 's school board . Another running joke is that the job with the highest death rate is being an intern at the radio station ; the only interns and former interns who are currently alive include ( in order of appearance ) Cecil , Chad Bowinger , Dana Cardinal , Maureen , Vithya and Kareem . Characters and narratives may emerge and develop slowly , while unrelated stories may combine to form new plot points . Major stories which have occurred include the development of a romantic relationship between Cecil and Carlos ; the stranding of several characters , including Carlos , in a `` desert otherworld '' ; the invasion of Night Vale by the corporation StrexCorp , from the rival town of Desert Bluffs , and StrexCorp 's eventual expulsion from Night Vale ; the 2014 mayoral elections , with subsequent terrorist activities by failed mayoral candidates The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home and Hiram McDaniels ; and the complications surrounding McDaniels ' subsequent imprisonment and trial . The series ' fourth anniversary in June 2016 coincided with a two - part climax to the most recent storyline : the invasion of Night Vale by mysterious strangers , led by a demonic beagle puppy accidentally summoned from Hell by Chad Bowinger , a former radio intern . The early plot point of a miniature city buried under the town 's bowling alley resurfaced after this , in addition to the sporadic appearance of Huntokar , a deer - headed deity with connections to both the tiny city and Night Vale 's unusual nature . Guest stars and guest writers ( edit ) Dylan Marron as Carlos , Cecil 's scientist boyfriend and later husband .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

when were catholic churches allowed back in england

The English Church was brought back under full papal authority in 1553 , at the beginning of the reign of Queen Mary I , and Catholicism was enforced by the Marian persecutions ; however , when Queen Elizabeth I came to the throne in 1558 , the Church of England 's independence from Rome was reasserted through the settlement of 1559 , which shifted the Church of England 's teaching and practice , and in the Act of Uniformity , which caused a rift between Catholics and Queen . In 1570 Pope Pius V responded , in his bull Regnans in Excelsis , calling on all Catholics to rebel against Elizabeth and excommunicating anyone who obeyed her . The Parliament of England made the fact of being a Jesuit or seminarian treasonable in 1571 . Priests found celebrating Mass were often hanged , drawn and quartered , rather than being burned at the stake . The Catholic Church ( along with other non-established churches ) continued in England , although it was at times subject to various forms of persecution . Most recusant members ( except those in diaspora on the Continent , in heavily Catholic areas in the north , or part of the aristocracy ) practised their faith in private for all practical purposes . In 1766 , the Pope recognised the English Monarchy as lawful , and this led eventually to the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829 . Dioceses ( replacing districts ) were re-established by Pope Pius IX in 1850 . Along with the 22 Latin Rite dioceses , there are the Eastern Catholic diocese of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Holy Family of London and the Syro - Malabar Catholic Eparchy of Great Britain .

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

Trainers spent several weeks training Crystal , who plays the troublemaking monkey Dexter , to slap and bite Stiller in the film . Robin Williams ' Theodore Roosevelt costume closely resembles that of John Wayne 's character in The Shootist . Director Shawn Levy credited Ben Stiller for the ensemble cast : `` When actors hear that Ben Stiller is in a movie they want to work with him . It ( 's ) a high - water mark and it absolutely draws actors in and I 'm convinced that 's a big part of why we got this cast . '' Music ( edit ) Songs ( edit ) Ben Stiller claimed that he watched Tom Cruise in the Mission : Impossible films to learn how to imitate his running technique , shown here as Stiller portraying his film character running for dear life from the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ( Rexy ) . `` Friday Night '' - performed by McFly ; not featured in American version of the film , but heard in some international cuts , used during the end credits . It can be heard on the American DVD on the Spanish dub . `` September '' - performed by Earth , Wind and Fire ; used before the end credits where everyone in the museum is partying . `` Weapon of Choice '' - performed by Fatboy Slim ; used in the scene where Larry returns to the museum for his second night and is preparing for the chaos . `` Tonight '' - performed by Keke Palmer and Cham ; used for the end credits ( U.S. theatrical version only ) . `` Eye of the Tiger '' - performed by Ben Stiller ; used in the scene where Larry is bored and messes around with the telephone at the front desk beatboxing the music . An instrumental version of `` Mandy '' by Barry Manilow is used when Larry is standing in the elevator , while escaping from Attila the Hun . `` Ezekiel Saw Them Dry Bones '' is the tune Larry whistles as he passes the empty T. rex exhibit on his first night . `` Camptown Races '' by Stephen Foster is sung by the townspeople of the American West miniature diorama . This is a period - correct song . Score ( edit ) Alan Silvestri replaced John Ottman as score composer . Silvestri 's score was used for the teaser trailer of Horton Hears a Who !

Box office ( edit ) At the end of its box office run , Night at the Museum earned a gross of $250.9 million in the US and Canada and $323.6 million in other territories , for a worldwide total of $574.5 million against a budget of $110 million . It is also the highest - grossing film worldwide of the trilogy . It was the highest - grossing film in its opening weekend , grossing $30.8 million plating in 3,685 theaters , with a $8,258 per - theater average . For the four - day Christmas holiday weekend , it took in $42.2 million . The movie was also released in IMAX large screen format , often on site at museums of science or natural history such as the Pacific Science Center in Seattle . In its second weekend , Night at the Museum expanded into 83 more theaters and took in approximately $36.7 million , out - grossing its opening weekend . It maintained the top position in its third week , with an additional $23.7 million . During its opening weekend of December 15 , 2006 , the film grossed a figure of estimated $5 million , with the highest debut coming from South Korea ( $5.04 million ) . The biggest market in the other territories were the UK , Japan , South Korea , and Germany , where it grossed $40.8 million , $30 million , $25.7 million , $22.9 million . Critical reaction ( edit ) Night at the Museum received mixed reviews from critics . On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 43 % , based on 132 reviews , with an average rating of 5.3 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Parents might call this either a spectacle - filled adventure or a shallow and vapid CG-fest , depending on whether they choose to embrace this on the same level as their kids '' . On Metacritic , the film a score of 48 out of 100 , based on 28 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . James Berardinelli of Reelviews gave it 2 stars out of 4 , and commented on Stiller 's performance by stating `` It might be fair to give Ben Stiller an ' A ' for effort , but to call what he does in this movie `` acting '' is a misnomer . He does a lot of running around , occasionally falling down or bumping into things . '' One positive review by William Arnold of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer , gave it a B - , and stated that the film was `` Out to impress and delight a family audience with the pageantry of human and natural history , and that 's a surprisingly worthy ambition for a Hollywood comedy . '' In a case of life imitating art , museum officials at the American Museum of Natural History have credited the film for increasing the number of visitors during the holiday season by almost 20 % . According to a museum official , between December 22 , 2006 , and January 2 , 2007 , there were 50,000 more visitors than during the same period the prior year . CinemaScore polls conducted during the opening weekend , cinema audiences gave the film an average grade of `` A - '' on an A+ to F scale . Home media ( edit ) The film was released on a 2 - Disc DVD edition in the United Kingdom on April 2 , 2007 . It was released on 1 - Disc and 2 - Disc DVD editions and Blu - ray Disc format on April 24 , 2007 elsewhere .

where did the night at the museum take place

Night at the Museum is a 2006 American fantasy - comedy film directed by Shawn Levy and written by Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon , based on the 1993 children 's book of the same name by Croatian illustrator Milan Trenc . The film stars Ben Stiller as Larry Daley , a divorced father who applies for a job as a night watchman at New York City 's American Museum of Natural History and subsequently discovers that the exhibits , animated by a magical Egyptian artifact , come to life at night .

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

Unlike Windows Vista Ultimate , the Windows 7 Ultimate edition does not include the Windows Ultimate Extras feature or any exclusive features as Microsoft had stated . Mainstream support for all editions ( new features and bug fixes ) ended as of January 2015 , but extended support ( security updates ) will continue until January 2020 . Special - purpose editions ( edit ) The main editions also can take the form of one of the following special editions : N and KN editions The features in the N and KN Editions are the same as their equivalent full versions , but do not include Windows Media Player or other Windows Media - related technologies , such as Windows Media Center and Windows DVD Maker due to limitations set by the European Union and South Korea , respectively . The cost of the N and KN Editions are the same as the full versions , as the Media Feature Pack for Windows 7 N or Windows 7 KN can be downloaded without charge from Microsoft . VL builds VL builds work with VLKs ( volume license keys ) . Volume license keys can be used to activate multiple installations of the software without any mechanism ( such as a product activation mechanism ) checking the total number of installations . The license for the software will place restrictions on the use of the key . Typically , the license will limit the key to a fixed number of installations which must only be within the licensee 's organization and also place the licensee under an obligation to keep a record of the number of installations , keep the key confidential and possibly even require that the licensee organization makes itself available for a software licensing audit to verify that its use of the key is within the terms of the license . Upgrade editions ( edit ) In - place upgrade from Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 to Windows 7 with is supported if the processor architecture and the language are the same and their editions match ( see below ) . In - place upgrade is not supported for earlier versions of Windows ; moving to Windows 7 on these machines requires a clean installation , i.e. removal of the old operating system , installing Windows 7 and reinstalling all previously installed programs . Windows Easy Transfer can assist in this process . Microsoft made upgrade SKUs of Windows 7 for selected editions of Windows XP and Windows Vista . The difference between these SKUs and full SKUs of Windows 7 is their lower price and proof of license ownership of a qualifying previous version of Windows . Same restrictions on in - place upgrading applies to these SKUs as well . In addition , Windows 7 is available as a Family Pack upgrade edition in certain markets , to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium only . It gives licenses to upgrade three machines from Vista or Windows XP to the Windows 7 Home Premium edition . These are not full versions , so each machine to be upgraded must have one of these qualifying previous versions of Windows for them to work . In the United States , this offer expired in early December 2009 . In October 2010 , to commemorate the anniversary of Windows 7 , Microsoft once again made Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack available for a limited time , while supplies lasted . Upgrade compatibility ( edit ) There are two possible ways to upgrade to Windows 7 from an earlier version of Windows : An in - place install ( labelled `` Upgrade '' in the installer ) , where settings and programs are preserved from an older version of Windows . This option is only sometimes available , depending on the editions of Windows being used , and is not available at all unless upgrading from Windows Vista . A clean install ( labelled `` Custom '' in the installer ) , where all settings including but not limited to user accounts , applications , user settings , music , photos , and programs are erased entirely and the current operating system is erased and replaced with Windows 7 . This option is always available and is required for all versions of Windows XP . The table below lists which upgrade paths allow for an in - place install . Note that in - place upgrades can only be performed when the previous version of Windows is of the same architecture . If upgrading from a 32 - bit installation to a 64 - bit installation or downgrading from 64 - bit installation to 32 - bit installation , a clean install is mandatory regardless of the editions being used .

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

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

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

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

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

Graduates who have lost their medical qualification for commissioning while at their final semester at Academy ( a small number each year ) may receive a degree but are not commissioned .

what are freshmen called at the air force academy

The student body of the Academy is known as the Cadet Wing . The students , called `` cadets '' , are divided into four classes , based on their year in school , much like a civilian college . They are not referred to as freshmen , sophomores , juniors and seniors , however , but as fourth - , third - , second - and first class cadets , respectively . Fourth class cadets ( freshmen ) are often referred to as `` doolies , '' a term derived from the Greek word δοῦλος ( `` doulos '' ) meaning `` slave '' or `` servant . '' Members of the three lower classes are also referred to as `` 4 degrees , '' `` 3 degrees '' or `` 2 degrees '' based on their class . First - class cadets ( seniors ) are referred to as `` firsties . '' In the military structure of the Cadet Wing , first class cadets hold the positions of cadet officers , second class cadets act as the cadet non-commissioned officers and third class cadets represent the cadet junior non-commissioned officers .

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

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

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

The Commonwealth of Australia was formed in 1901 as a result of an agreement among six self - governing British colonies , which became the six states . The terms of this contract are embodied in the Australian Constitution , which was drawn up at a Constitutional Convention and ratified by the people of the colonies at referendums . The Australian head of state is the Queen of Australia who is represented by the Governor - General of Australia , with executive powers delegated by constitutional convention to the Australian head of government , the Prime Minister of Australia . The Government of the Commonwealth of Australia is divided into the executive branch , composed of the Federal Executive Council presided by the Governor - General , which delegates powers to the Cabinet of Australia led by the Prime Minister , the legislative branch composed of the Parliament of Australia 's House of Representatives and Senate , and the judicial branch composed of the High Court of Australia and federal courts . Separation of powers is implied by the structure of the Constitution , the three branches of government being set out in separate chapters ( chapters I to III ) . The Australian system of government combines elements of the Westminster and Washington systems with unique Australian characteristics , and has been characterised as a `` Washminster mutation '' . Contents 1 Structure 2 Legislature 3 Executive 3.1 Head of state 3.2 Executive Council 3.3 Cabinet 3.4 Departments 4 Judiciary 5 Publicly owned entities 5.1 Corporations prescribed by acts of parliament 5.2 Government Business Enterprises 5.3 Other public non-financial corporations 6 See also 7 References 7.1 Footnotes 7.2 Citations 8 External links Structure ( edit ) The three branches of the federal government of Australia The legislature : Parliament House in Canberra , the seat of the Federal Parliament The Executive : Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull ( left ) representing the Federal Executive Council , and Governor - General Peter Cosgrove ( right ) who by convention follows the Council 's advice The judiciary : The High Court of Australia , the nation 's highest court Section 1 of the Australian Constitution creates a democratic legislature , the bicameral Parliament of Australia which consists of the Queen of Australia , and two houses of parliament , the Senate and the House of Representatives . Section 51 of the Constitution provides for the Commonwealth Government 's legislative powers and allocates certain powers and responsibilities ( known as `` heads of power '' ) to the Commonwealth government . All remaining responsibilities are retained by the six States ( previously separate colonies ) . Further , each State has its own constitution , so that Australia has seven sovereign Parliaments , none of which can encroach on the functions of any other . The High Court of Australia arbitrates on any disputes which arise between the Commonwealth and the States , or among the States , concerning their respective functions . The Commonwealth Parliament can propose changes to the Constitution . To become effective , the proposals must be put to a referendum of all Australians of voting age , and must receive a `` double majority '' : a majority of all votes , and a majority of votes in a majority of States . The Commonwealth Constitution also provides that the States can agree to refer any of their powers to the Commonwealth . This may be achieved by way of an amendment to the Constitution via referendum ( a vote on whether the proposed transfer of power from the States to the Commonwealth , or vice versa , should be implemented ) . More commonly powers may be transferred by passing other acts of legislation which authorise the transfer and such acts require the legislative agreement of all the state governments involved . This `` transfer '' legislation may have a `` sunset clause '' , a legislative provision that nullifies the transfer of power after a specified period , at which point the original division of power is restored . In addition , Australia has several `` territories '' , two of which are self - governing : the Australian Capital Territory ( ACT ) and the Northern Territory ( NT ) . These territories ' legislatures , their Assemblies , exercise powers devolved to them by the Commonwealth ; the Commonwealth Parliament remains able to override their legislation and to alter their powers . Australian citizens in these territories are represented by members of both houses of the Commonwealth Parliament . The territory of Norfolk Island was self - governing from 1979 until 2016 , although it was never represented as such in the Commonwealth Parliament . The other territories that are regularly inhabited -- Jervis Bay , Christmas Island and the Cocos ( Keeling ) Islands -- have never been self - governing . The federal nature of the Commonwealth and the structure of the Parliament of Australia were the subject of protracted negotiations among the colonies during the drafting of the Constitution . The House of Representatives is elected on a basis that reflects the differing populations of the States . Thus New South Wales has 48 members while Tasmania has only five . But the Senate is elected on a basis of equality among the States : all States elect 12 Senators , regardless of population . This was intended to allow the Senators of the smaller States to form a majority and thus be able to amend or reject bills originating in the House of Representatives . The ACT and the NT each elect two Senators . The third level of government after Commonwealth and State / Territory is Local government , in the form of shires , towns and cities . The Councils of these areas are composed of elected representatives ( known as either councillor or alderman , depending on the State ) , usually serving part - time . Their powers are devolved to them by the State or Territory in which they are located . Government at the Commonwealth level and the State / Territory level is undertaken by three inter-connected arms of government : Legislature : The Commonwealth Parliament Executive : The Sovereign of Australia , whose executive power is exercisable by the Governor - General , the Prime Minister , Ministers and their Departments Judiciary : The High Court of Australia and subsidiary Federal courts . The Separation of powers is the principle whereby the three arms of government undertake their activities largely separately from each other : the Legislature proposes laws in the form of Bills , and provides a legislative framework for the operations of the other two arms ; the sovereign is formally a part of the Parliament , but takes no active role in these matters , except that ( representing the sovereign ) Governors - General , State Governors and Territory Administrators sign enactments into law through providing Royal Assent the Executive administers the laws and carries out the tasks assigned to it by legislation the Judiciary hears cases arising from the administration of the law , applying both statute law and the common law ; the Australian courts can not give an advisory opinion on the constitutionality of a law , but the High Court of Australia can determine whether an existing law is constitutional the Judiciary is appointed by the sovereign 's representatives , on the advice of the Commonwealth or State / Territory government ; but the Legislature and the Executive should not try to influence its decisions . Until the passage of the Australia Act 1986 , and associated legislation in the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland , some Australian cases could be referred to the British Judicial Committee of the Privy Council for final appeal . With this act , Australian law was made unequivocally sovereign , and the High Court of Australia was confirmed as the highest court of appeal . The theoretical possibility of the British Parliament enacting laws to override the Australian Constitution was also removed . Legislature ( edit ) Main article : Parliament of Australia The Australian Senate chamber The Australian House of Representatives chamber The Legislature makes the laws , and supervises the activities of the other two arms with a view to changing the laws when appropriate . The Australian Parliament is bicameral , consisting of the Queen of Australia , a 76 - member Senate and a 150 - member House of Representatives . Twelve Senators from each state are elected for six - year terms , using proportional representation and the single transferable vote ( known in Australia as `` quota - preferential voting '' : see Australian electoral system ) , with half elected every three years . In addition to the state Senators , two senators are elected by voters from the Northern Territory ( which for this purpose includes the Indian Ocean Territories , Christmas Island and the Cocos ( Keeling ) Islands ) , while another two senators are elected by the voters of the Australian Capital Territory ( which for this purpose includes the Jervis Bay Territory ) . Senators from the territories are also elected using preferential voting , but their term of office is not fixed ; it starts on the day of a general election for the House of Representatives and ends on the day before the next such election . The members of the House of Representatives are elected by majority - preferential voting using the non-proportional Instant - runoff voting system from single - member constituencies allocated among the states and territories . In ordinary legislation , the two chambers have co-ordinate powers , but all proposals for appropriating revenue or imposing taxes must be introduced in the House of Representatives . Under the prevailing Westminster system , the leader of the political party or coalition of parties that holds the support of a majority of the members in the House of Representatives is invited to form a government and is named Prime Minister . The Prime Minister and the Cabinet are responsible to the Parliament , of which they must , in most circumstances , be members . General elections are held at least once every three years . The Prime Minister has a discretion to advise the Governor - General to call an election for the House of Representatives at any time , but Senate elections can only be held within certain periods prescribed in the Constitution . The most recent general election was on 2 July 2016 . The Commonwealth Parliament and all the state and territory legislatures operate within the conventions of the Westminster system , with a recognised Leader of the Opposition , usually the leader of the largest party outside the government , and a Shadow Cabinet of Opposition members who `` shadow '' each member of the Ministry , asking questions on matters within the Minister 's portfolio . Although the Government , by virtue of commanding a majority of members in the lower house of the legislature , can usually pass its legislation and control the workings of the house , the Opposition can considerably delay the passage of legislation and obstruct government business if it chooses . The day - to - day business of the House of Representatives is usually negotiated between the Leader of the House , appointed by the Prime Minister , and the Manager of Opposition Business in the House , appointed by the Leader of the Opposition in the Commonwealth parliament , currently Bill Shorten . Executive ( edit ) Head of state ( edit ) Main articles : Monarchy of Australia and Governor - General of Australia The Australian Constitution dates from 1901 , when the Dominions of the British Empire were not sovereign states , and does not use the term `` head of state '' . As Australia is a constitutional monarchy , government and academic sources describe the Queen as head of state . In practice , the role of head of state of Australia is divided between two people , the Queen of Australia and the Governor - General of Australia , who is appointed by the Queen on the advice of the Prime Minister of Australia . Though in many respects the Governor - General is the Queen 's representative , and exercises various constitutional powers in her name , they independently exercise many important powers in their own right . The governor - general represents Australia internationally , making and receiving state visits . Government House , Canberra The Sovereign of Australia , currently Queen Elizabeth II , is also the Sovereign of fifteen other Commonwealth realms including the United Kingdom . Like the other Dominions , Australia gained legislative independence from the Parliament of the United Kingdom by virtue of the Statute of Westminster 1931 , which was adopted in Australia in 1942 with retrospective effect from 3 September 1939 . By the Royal Style and Titles Act 1953 , the Australian Parliament gave the Queen the title Queen of Australia , and in 1973 titles with any reference to her status as Queen of the United Kingdom and Defender of the Faith as well were removed , making her Queen of Australia . Section 61 of the Constitution provides that ' The executive power of the Commonwealth is vested in the Queen and is exercisable by the Governor ‐ General as the Queen 's representative , and extends to the execution and maintenance of this Constitution , and of the laws of the Commonwealth ' . Section 2 of the Australian Constitution provides that a Governor - General shall represent the Queen in Australia . In practice , the Governor - General carries out all the functions usually performed by a head of state , without reference to the Queen . Under the conventions of the Westminster system the Governor - General 's powers are almost always exercised on the advice of the Prime Minister or other ministers . The Governor - General retains reserve powers similar to those possessed by the Queen in the United Kingdom . These are rarely exercised , but during the Australian constitutional crisis of 1975 Governor - General Sir John Kerr used them independently of the Queen and the Prime Minister . Australia has periodically experienced movements seeking to end the monarchy . In a 1999 referendum , the Australian people voted on a proposal to change the Constitution . The proposal would have removed references to the Queen from the Constitution and replaced the Governor - General with a President nominated by the Prime Minister , but subject to the approval of a two - thirds majority of both Houses of the Parliament . The proposal was defeated . The Australian Republican Movement continues to campaign for an end to the monarchy in Australia , opposed by Australians for Constitutional Monarchy and Australian Monarchist League . Further information : Constitutional history of Australia , Australian republicanism , and Australian head of state dispute Executive Council ( edit ) Main article : Federal Executive Council ( Australia ) The Federal Executive Council is a formal body which exists and meets to give legal effect to decisions made by the Cabinet , and to carry out various other functions . All Ministers are members of the Executive Council and are entitled to be styled `` The Honourable '' , a title which they retain for life . The Governor - General usually presides at Council meetings , but in his or her absence another Minister nominated as the Vice-President of the Executive Council presides at the meeting of the Council . Since 20 December 2017 , the Vice-President of the Federal Executive Council has been Senator Mathias Cormann . There are times when the government acts in a `` caretaker '' capacity , principally in the period prior to and immediately following a general election . Cabinet ( edit ) Main articles : Cabinet of Australia and List of Australian Ministers The Cabinet of Australia is the council of senior Ministers of the Crown , responsible to the Federal Parliament . The ministers are appointed by the Governor - General , on the advice of the Prime Minister , who serve at the former 's pleasure . Cabinet meetings are strictly private and occur once a week where vital issues are discussed and policy formulated . Outside the cabinet there is an outer ministry and also a number of junior ministers , called Parliamentary secretaries , responsible for a specific policy area and reporting directly to a senior Cabinet minister . The Constitution of Australia does not recognise the Cabinet as a legal entity ; it exists solely by convention . Its decisions do not in and of themselves have legal force . However , it serves as the practical expression of the Federal Executive Council , which is Australia 's highest formal governmental body . In practice , the Federal Executive Council meets solely to endorse and give legal force to decisions already made by the Cabinet . All members of the Cabinet are members of the Executive Council . While the Governor - General is nominal presiding officer , he almost never attends Executive Council meetings . A senior member of the Cabinet holds the office of Vice-President of the Executive Council and acts as presiding officer of the Executive Council in the absence of the Governor - General . Until 1956 all members of the ministry were members of the Cabinet . The growth of the ministry in the 1940s and 1950s made this increasingly impractical , and in 1956 Robert Menzies created a two - tier ministry , with only senior ministers holding Cabinet rank , also known within parliament as the front bench . This practice has been continued by all governments except the Whitlam Government . When the non-Labor parties are in power , the Prime Minister makes all Cabinet and ministerial appointments at their own discretion , although in practice they consult with senior colleagues in making appointments . When the Liberal Party and its predecessors ( the Nationalist Party and the United Australia Party ) have been in coalition with the National Party or its predecessor the Country Party , the leader of the junior Coalition party has had the right to nominate their party 's members of the Coalition ministry , and to be consulted by the Prime Minister on the allocation of their portfolios . When the Labor first held office under Chris Watson , Watson assumed the right to choose members of his Cabinet . In 1907 , however , the party decided that future Labor Cabinets would be elected by the members of the Parliamentary Labor Party , the Caucus , and the Prime Minister would retain the right to allocate portfolios . This practice was followed until 2007 . Between 1907 and 2007 , Labor Prime Ministers exercised a predominant influence over who was elected to Labor ministries , although the leaders of the party factions also exercised considerable influence . Prior to the 2007 general election , the then Leader of the Opposition , Kevin Rudd , said that he and he alone would choose the ministry should he become Prime Minister . His party won the election and he chose the ministry , as he said he would . The cabinet meets not only in Canberra but also in state capitals , most frequently Sydney and Melbourne . Kevin Rudd was in favour of the Cabinet meeting in other places , such as major regional cities . There are Commonwealth Parliament Offices in each State Capital , with those in Sydney located in Phillip Street . Departments ( edit ) There are 18 departments of the Australian Government . Attorney - General 's Department Department of Agriculture and Water Resources Department of Communications and the Arts Department of Defence Department of Education and Training Department of Employment Department of the Environment and Energy Department of Finance Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Department of Health Department of Home Affairs Department of Human Services Department of Industry , Innovation and Science Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet Department of Social Services Department of the Treasury Department of Veterans ' Affairs Judiciary ( edit ) Main article : Australian court hierarchy Courtroom 1 in the High Court in Canberra . As a federation , in Australia judicial power is exercised by both federal and state courts . Federal judicial power is vested in the High Court of Australia and such other federal courts created by the Federal Parliament , including the Federal Court of Australia , the Family Court of Australia , and the Federal Circuit Court of Australia . Additionally , unlike in the United States , the federal legislature has the power to enact laws which vest federal jurisdiction in State courts . Since the Australian Constitution requires a separation of powers at the federal level , only courts may exercise federal judicial power ; and conversely , non-judicial functions can not be vested in courts . State judicial power is exercised by each State 's Supreme Court , and such other courts and tribunals created by the State Parliaments . The High Court is the final court of appeal in Australia and has the jurisdiction to hear appeals on matters of both federal and state law . It has both original and appellate jurisdiction , the power of judicial review over laws passed by federal and State parliaments , and has jurisdiction to interpret the Constitution of Australia . Unlike in the United States , there is only one common law of Australia , rather than separate common laws for each State . Publicly owned entities ( edit ) Corporations prescribed by acts of Parliament ( edit ) The following corporations are prescribed by Acts of Parliament : Australian Broadcasting Corporation ( Australian Broadcasting Corporation Act 1983 ) Special Broadcasting Service ( Special Broadcasting Service Act 1991 ) Government business Enterprises ( edit ) The following corporate Commonwealth entities are prescribed as Government Business Enterprises ( GBEs ) by section 5 ( 1 ) of the Public Governance , Performance and Accountability ( PGPA ) Rule : Australian Postal Corporation ( `` Australia Post '' ) Defence Housing Australia The following Commonwealth companies are prescribed as GBEs by section 5 ( 2 ) of the PGPA Rule : ASC Pty Ltd Australian Rail Track Corporation Limited Moorebank Intermodal Company Limited ( ACN 161 635 105 ) NBN Co Limited ( ACN 136 533 741 ) Other public non-financial corporations ( edit ) Airservices Australia Snowy Hydro Limited See also ( edit ) Australian federal budget Australian Public Service Referendums in Australia ( and non-binding plebiscites ) Second Turnbull Ministry References ( edit ) Footnotes ( edit ) ^ Prior to 1931 , the junior status of dominions was shown in the fact that it was British ministers who advised the King , with dominion ministers , if they met the King at all , escorted by the constitutionally superior British minister . After 1931 all dominion ministers met the King as His ministers as of right , equal in Commonwealth status to Britain 's ministers , meaning that there was no longer either a requirement for , or an acceptance of , the presence of British ministers . The first state to exercise this both symbolic and real independence was the Irish Free State . Australia and other dominions soon followed .

National food security Act , 2013 - Wikipedia National food security Act , 2013 Jump to : navigation , search National Food Security Act , 2013 Food security and insecurity in India Enacted by Parliament of India Date signed 12 September 2013 Status : In force The National Food Security Act , 2013 ( also Right to Food Act ) is an Act of the Parliament of India which aims to provide subsidized food grains to approximately two thirds of India 's 1.2 billion people . It was signed into law on 12 September 2013 , retroactive to 5 July 2013 . The National Food Security Act , 2013 ( NFSA 2013 ) converts into legal entitlements for existing food security programmes of the Government of India . It includes the Midday Meal Scheme , Integrated Child Development Services scheme and the Public Distribution System . Further , the NFSA 2013 recognizes maternity entitlements . The Midday Meal Scheme and the Integrated Child Development Services Scheme are universal in nature whereas the PDS will reach about two - thirds of the population ( 75 % in rural areas and 50 % in urban areas ) . Under the provisions of the bill , beneficiaries of the Public Distribution System ( or , PDS ) are entitled to 5 kilograms ( 11 lb ) per person per month of cereals at the following prices : Rice at ₹ 3 ( 4.6 ¢ US ) per kg Wheat at ₹ 2 ( 3.1 ¢ US ) per kg Coarse grains ( millet ) at ₹ 1 ( 1.5 ¢ US ) per kg . Pregnant women , lactating mothers , and certain categories of children are eligible for daily free cereals . The bill has been highly controversial . It was introduced into India 's parliament on 22 December 2011 , promulgated as a presidential ordinance on 5 July 2013 , and enacted into law on 12 September 2013 . Odisha government implemented food security bill in 14 district from 17 November 2015 Assam government implemented Act on 24 December 2015 .

However , since Antyodaya Anna Yojana ( AAY ) households constitute poorest of the poor , and are presently entitled to 35 kg per household per month , entitlement of existing AAY households will be protected at 35 kg per household per month . State-wise coverage : Corresponding to the all India coverage of 75 % and 50 % in the rural and urban areas , State-wise coverage will be determined by the Central Government . Planning Commission has determined the State-wise coverage by using the NSS Household Consumption Survey data for 2011 - 12 ... Subsidised prices under TPDS and their revision : Foodgrains under TPDS will be made available at subsidised prices of Rs. 3 / 2 / 1 per kg for rice , wheat and coarse grains for a period of three years from the date of commencement of the Act . Thereafter prices will be suitably linked to Minimum Support Price ( MSP ) .

Intent ( edit ) The intent of the National Food Security Bill is spelled out in the Lok Sabha committee report , The National Food Security Bill , 2011 , Twenty Seventh Report , which states , `` Food security means availability of sufficient foodgrains to meet the domestic demand as well as access , at the individual level , to adequate quantities of food at affordable prices . '' The report adds , `` The proposed legislation marks a paradigm shift in addressing the problem of food security -- from the current welfare approach to a right based approach . About two thirds ( approx 67 % ) of the population will be entitled to receive subsidized foodgrains under Targeted Public Distribution System . In a country where almost 40 % of children are undernourished the importance of the scheme increases significantly . '' Scope ( edit ) The Indian Ministry of Agriculture 's Commission on Agricultural Costs and Prices ( CACP ) has referred to the Bill as the `` biggest ever experiment in the world for distributing highly subsidized food by any government through a ' rights based ' approach . '' The Bill extends coverage of the Targeted Public Distribution System , India 's principal domestic food aid program , to two thirds of the population , or approximately 820 million people . Initially , the Lok Sabha Standing Committee on Food , Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution estimated a `` total requirement of foodgrains , as per the Bill would be 61.55 million ( metric ) tons in 2012 - 13 . '' The CACP calculated in May 2013 , `` ... the requirement for average monthly PDS offtake is calculated as 2.3 mt for wheat ( 27.6 mt annually ) and 2.8 mt for rice ( 33.6 mt annually ) ... '' When volumes needed for the Public Distribution System and `` Other Welfare Schemes '' were aggregated , the CACP estimated rice and wheat requirements to total an `` annual requirement of 61.2 '' million metric tons . However , the final version of the Bill signed into law includes on page 18 an annex , `` Schedule IV '' , which estimates the total food grain allocation as 54.926 million metric tons . The Standing Committee estimated that the value of additional food subsidies ( i.e. , on top of the existing Public Distribution System ) `` during 2012 - 13 works out to be ... Rs. 2409 crores , '' that is , 24.09 billion rupees , or about $446 million at the then - current exchange rate , for a total expenditure of 1.122 trillion rupees ( or between $20 and $21 billion ) . However , the Commission on Agricultural Costs and Prices ( CACP ) calculated , `` Currently , the economic cost of FCI for acquiring , storing and distributing foodgrains is about 40 percent more than the procurement price . '' The Commission added , The stated expenditure of Rs 1 , 20,000 crore annually in NFSB is merely the tip of the iceberg . To support the system and the welfare schemes , additional expenditure is needed for the envisaged administrative set up , scaling up of operations , enhancement of production , investments for storage , movement , processing and market infrastructure etc . The existing Food Security Complex of Procurement , Stocking and Distribution - which NFSB perpetuates - would increase the operational expenditure of the Scheme given its creaking infrastructure , leakages & inefficient governance . The Commission concluded that the total bill for implementation of the Bill `` ... may touch an expenditure of anywhere between Rs 125,000 to 150,000 crores , '' i.e. , 1.25 to 1.5 trillion rupees . As of the implementation deadline of 4 October 2014 , only 11 states had either implemented the Act or declared readiness to do so . On 28 November 2014 , the Indian government announced , `` Allocation of foodgrains to 11 States / Union Territories ( UTs ) namely , Bihar , Chandigarh , Chhattisgarh , Delhi , Haryana , Himachal Pradesh , Karnataka , Madhya Pradesh , Maharashtra , Punjab and Rajasthan has started under the Act ... '' and that the `` remaining 25 States / UTs have not completed the preparatory measures required for implementation of the Act . '' The Indian government extended the deadline for implementation of the Act `` by another six months , i.e. till 04.04. 2015 . '' Commentary ( edit ) Critics ( edit ) Criticism of the National Food Security Bill includes accusations of both political motivation and fiscal irresponsibility . One senior opposition politician , Murli Manohar Joshi , went so far as to describe the bill as a measure for `` vote security '' ( for the ruling government coalition ) rather than food security . Another political figure , Mulayam Singh Yadav , declared , `` It is clearly being brought for elections ... Why did n't you bring this bill earlier when poor people were dying because of hunger ? ... Every election , you bring up a measure . There is nothing for the poor . '' The report of the 33rd meeting of the Technical Advisory Committee on Monetary Policy stated , `` ... Food prices are still elevated and the food security bill will aggravate food price inflation as it will tilt supply towards cereals and away from other farm produce ( proteins ) , which will raise food prices further ... Members desired that the Reserve Bank impress on the government the need to address supply side constraints which are causing inflationary pressure , especially on the food front . '' Dr. Surjit S. Bhalla warned , `` The food security bill ... if implemented honestly , will cost 3 per cent of the GDP in its very first year . '' The writer Vivek Kaul noted , The government 's estimated cost of food security comes at 11.10 % ... of the total receipts . The CACP 's estimated cost of food security comes at 21.5 % ... of the total receipts . Bhalla 's cost of food security comes at around 28 % of the total receipts ... Once we express the cost of food security as a percentage of the total estimated receipts of the government , during the current financial year , we see how huge the cost of food security really is . The Indian Ministry of Agriculture 's Commission on Agricultural Costs and Prices warned that enactment of the Bill could be expected to `` induce severe imbalance in the production of oilseeds and pulses , '' and `` ... will create demand pressures , which will inevitably spillover to market prices of food grains . Furthermore , the higher food subsidy burden on the budget will raise the fiscal deficit , exacerbating macro level inflationary pressures . '' The Commission argued further that the Bill would restrict private initiative in agriculture , reduce competition in the marketplace due to government domination of the grain market , shift money from investments in agriculture to subsidies , and continue focus on cereals production when shifts in consumer demand patterns indicate a need to focus more on protein , fruits and vegetables . Advocates ( edit ) The bill was very widely viewed as a `` pet project '' of Indian National Congress ( INC ) President , Sonia Gandhi . Gandhi addressed Parliament the night of the August 2013 Lok Sabha vote on the bill , saying its passage would be a `` chance to make history '' . Former National Advisory Council member and development economist Professor Jean Drèze , reputedly one of the architects of the original , 2011 version of the bill , wrote , `` ... the Bill is a form of investment in human capital . It will bring some security in people 's lives and make it easier for them to meet their basic needs , protect their health , educate their children , and take risks . '' Professor Drèze dismissed opposition from business interests , saying , `` Corporate hostility does not tell us anything except that the Food Bill does not serve corporate interests . Nobody is claiming that it does , nor is that the purpose of the Bill . '' Minister of Consumer Affairs , Food , and Public Distribution K.V. Thomas stated in an interview , This is no mean task , a task being accomplished in the second most populated country in the world . All the while , it has been a satisfying journey . The responsibility is not just of the Central Government but equally of the States / ( Union Territories ) . I am sure together we can fulfill this dream . The day is not far off , when India will be known the world over for this important step towards eradication of hunger , malnutrition and resultant poverty ... By providing food security to 75 percent of the rural and 50 percent of the urban population with focus on nutritional needs of children , pregnant and lactating women , the National Food Security Bill will revolutionize food distribution system . In a rebuttal to Dr. Surjit S. Bhalla , three economists responded , `` ... the food subsidy bill should roughly double and come to around 1.35 % of GDP , which is still way less than the numbers he put out . '' Chhattisgarh food security Act ( edit ) The Chhattisgarh Food Security Act , 2012 law was enacted by the Chhattisgarh government . It was passed on 21 December 2012 , by the State Assembly unopposed to ensure `` access to adequate quantity of food and other requirements of good nutrition to the people of the State , at affordable prices , at all times to live a life of dignity . ' ' . The Act divides households into four groups -- Antodaya , Priority , General and Excluded households . The priority households will have monthly public distribution system ( PDS ) entitlement of 35 kg rice , wheat flour , pulses , gram and iodised salt at subsidised price . `` The new act will make the acclaimed PDS more comprehensive . Nearly 90 % of the provisions incorporated in the Act were already covered under the PDS '' , the chief minister Raman Singh said. The new initiative will put a burden of Rs. 2311 crore on the state exchequer . The act will not cover those who are income tax payees , own over 4 hectares of irrigated or 8 hectares of non-irrigated land in non-scheduled areas and who are liable to pay property tax in urban areas . The Act benefits 42 lakh families living here . It will also cover families headed by a destitute , a widow or a differently abled person . It will also take care of poor , children living in hostels / ashrams , pregnant women as well as those hit by disaster .

The program was hosted by Bill Beutel and Stephanie Edwards , with Peter Jennings and Robert Kennedy reading the news . Because the show could not find an audience against Today ( and its anchor team of Jim Hartz and Barbara Walters ) , ABC sought a new approach . The network found that one of its affiliates , WEWS in Cleveland , Ohio , had been pre-empting AM America in favor of airing a locally produced show called The Morning Exchange . Unlike AM America and Today , The Morning Exchange featured an easygoing and less dramatic approach by offering news and weather updates only at the top and bottom of every hour and used the rest of the time to discuss general - interest / entertainment topics . The Morning Exchange also established a group of regular guests who were experts in certain fields , including health , entertainment , consumer affairs and travel . Also unlike both the NBC and ABC shows , The Morning Exchange was not broadcast from a newsroom set but instead one that resembled a suburban living room . In the process of screening the Cleveland morning program as a creative source , ABC also began looking at another local show , Good Morning ! , which was produced by Boston ABC affiliate WCVB - TV . Good Morning ! was very similar in format to The Morning Exchange , but with a lesser emphasis on news and weather . In fact , once the revamped ABC morning show took to the air late in 1975 under the title Good Morning America , WCVB station manager Bob Bennett accused ABC entertainment president Fred Silverman of deliberately stealing the title of Good Morning ! ; no legal cease and desist action was finalized against ABC in the matter , however . The launch of Good Morning America did result in the Boston morning show changing its name -- to Good Day ! . ABC took an episode of The Morning Exchange and used it as a pilot episode . After very positive reviews for the pilot , the format replaced AM America in November 1975 as Good Morning America . The first host of the new program was David Hartman , featuring Nancy Dussault as his co-host . Dussault was replaced in 1977 by Sandy Hill . For the first seven years , weather forecasts were presented by John Coleman , former chief meteorologist for ABC owned - and - operated station WLS - TV in Chicago , who would leave GMA in 1982 to start The Weather Channel with Landmark Communications CEO Frank Batten . Dave Murray ( now chief meteorologist at KTVI in St. Louis ) provided the forecasts for both Good Morning America and ABC 's early morning news program ABC News This Morning from 1983 to 1986 . In August 1986 , he was replaced by Spencer Christian , who worked at WABC - TV in New York City and served as fill - in meteorologist for both Coleman and Murray whenever they were away on vacation or assignment . 1976 -- 89 : growth and change ( edit ) The program 's ratings climbed slowly , but steadily throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s while Today experienced a slight slump in viewership , especially with Walters ' decision to leave NBC for a job at ABC News . On August 30 , 1976 , Tom Brokaw began anchoring Today while the program began a search for a female co-host . Within a year , Today managed to beat back the Good Morning America ratings threat with Brokaw and new co-host Jane Pauley , featuring art and entertainment contributor Gene Shalit . Good Morning America continued to threaten Today 's ratings dominance into the 1980s , especially after Brokaw left the latter program to become co-anchor of NBC Nightly News with Roger Mudd for 17 months before being named sole anchor of that program . For the first time , Good Morning America became the highest - rated morning news program in the United States as Today fell to second place . At the outset , Good Morning America was a talk program with a main host , Hartman , who was joined by a sidekick co-host ; Dussault and Hill were scripted as less - than - equal hosts . In 1980 , an exasperated Hill left Good Morning America after run - ins with Hartman , who was said to have `` had a problem with strong women . '' She was replaced by Joan Lunden , then a reporter at ABC 's New York City flagship station WABC - TV . Hartman and Lunden led the show through several years of success . Lunden 's popularity led to her promotion to co-anchor in 1986 , and to more equal footing with Hartman than any woman before her . The partnership ended on February 20 , 1987 , when Hartman retired after 3,189 broadcasts . After Hartman 's departure , Lunden was paired with ABC News correspondent Charles Gibson on February 23 , 1987 , which ultimately resulted in ratings for the program skyrocketing . The team of Lunden and Gibson became the most popular news partnership on television in the late 1980s and early 1990s , and for the first time Good Morning America regularly won the ratings against Today . At one point prior to Spencer Christian 's arrival in 1986 , forecasts on the program were provided by WXYZ - TV chief meteorologist Jerry Hodak via a split screen between the WXYZ studios in Detroit and the Good Morning America set in New York City . 1990 -- 98 : rise and decline ( edit ) Good Morning America entered the 1990s with continued overwhelming ratings success . Gibson and Lunden became a hard team to beat ; however , the program stumbled from its top spot in late 1995 , falling to second place behind Today ( in what would begin a 16 - year streak as the top - rated morning news program for that show , which began the week of December 11 , 1995 ) . Lunden began to discuss working less and mentioned to network executives that the morning schedule is the hardest in the business . ABC executives promised Lunden that a prime time program ; Behind Closed Doors would premiere on the network in 1996 . On September 5 , 1997 , Lunden decided to step down as host of Good Morning America after 17 years and was replaced by ABC News correspondent Lisa McRee . The pairing of Gibson and McRee fared well in the ratings . However , ratings sharply declined when Gibson also left the show to make way for Kevin Newman on May 1 , 1998 . With McRee and Newman as anchors , longtime viewers of Good Morning America switched to Today , whose ratings skyrocketed . January 1999 -- May 2005 : Gibson -- Sawyer ( edit ) To improve Good Morning America 's ratings performance , which briefly fell to third place among the morning shows in January 1999 , ABC News management selected Shelley Ross from the field of executive producer candidates . As part of Rossʼs proposed changes , Ross ousted the McRee - Newman team and lobbied to bring in Diane Sawyer and team her with Charles Gibson , who had been reluctant to return . On January 18 , 1999 , the Gibson - Sawyer team paired by Ross debuted on - air , which during the first full season resulted in a dramatic increase in viewership while all other network news franchises saw losses . 2002 -- 2006 logo The show moved from the ABC News headquarters in Manhattan 's Lincoln Square district to its present home at the Times Square Studios on September 13 , 1999 . The new location made it possible for the program to feature a live audience inside the studio , similar to the `` Window on the World '' set used by Today . Under Ross , Good Morning America became a competitive 24 / 7 news operation with more exclusive bookings , news and live stock market updates for West Coast viewers and new on - screen graphics that included a news ticker . Good Morning America began originating entire shows from unique locations , which , according to Nielsen Media Research , resulted in more people watching the program and for longer periods of time . GMA became the first to originate a live show from an aircraft carrier during wartime ( the U.S.S. Enterprise ) , from The White House ( after the Columbine shootings ) , from The Pentagon ( for the reopening of the wing damaged during the September 11 attacks in 2001 ) , from The Vatican ( for the 25th anniversary of John Paul II 's election as Pope ) , and from the Tower of London ( on the 50th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth ʼs accession to the throne ) . Viewership during this time increased by nearly 1 million households , and revenue soared . Although Today remained the top - rated morning news show , the Sawyer , Gibson and Ross team inched close , creating a viable rival . According to Linda McLoof , executive director of news research at ABC News from 2001 to 2009 , `` When Shelley left , her viewing momentum was initially sustained , but a season later , the audience began to decline . It is like passing the baton in a relay race . '' Antonio Mora served as newsreader for the program until March 18 , 2002 , when he left to become an anchor at CBS owned - and - operated station WBBM - TV in Chicago . He was replaced by former ESPN anchor and correspondent Robin Roberts . May 2005 -- June 2006 : Gibson -- Sawyer -- Roberts ( edit ) On May 23 , 2005 , ABC News announced that Robin Roberts would be promoted from newsreader to co-anchor of Good Morning America , joining Gibson and Sawyer . Roberts had previously served as a regular substitute for Gibson and Sawyer when either of them were on vacation or on assignment . On November 3 , 2005 , Good Morning America celebrated its 30th anniversary with retrospectives on and clips from the show 's history and by decorating Times Square . Former co-hosts Hartman and Lunden , along with former meteorologist Spencer Christian , were among the guests of honor . Hartman signed off the show that day with his trademark close : `` From all of us , make it a good day . '' That same day , Good Morning America became the first network morning news program to begin broadcasting in high definition . On December 2 , 2005 , weather anchor Tony Perkins left the program after six years . The last ten minutes of that day 's edition were dedicated to Perkins , during which he gave thanks to one of the show 's producers and a heartfelt goodbye to anchors Gibson , Roberts and Sawyer . Perkins left the program to return to his family in Washington , D.C. and join Fox owned - and - operated station WTTG , where he previously served as a weather anchor . He affectionately said to his young son on - air , `` Connor , if you 're watching , daddy 's comin ' home . '' Perkins was replaced by Mike Barz , former weekday morning sports anchor at WGN - TV in Chicago . Gibson left Good Morning America for the second time on June 28 , 2006 . That day 's edition was dedicated to his 19 years as anchor of the program and celebrated his new role as anchor of ABC World News . Gibson ended his tenure at GMA by stating , `` For nineteen years , my mornings have been not just good -- they 've been great . '' June 2006 -- December 2009 : Sawyer -- Roberts ( edit ) There had been speculation that Sawyer would leave Good Morning America when her contract expired in 2007 to assume the anchor position at ABC World News that was given to Gibson . In August 2006 , Chris Cuomo was named news anchor while continuing his anchoring duties on the newsmagazine Primetime and serving as ABC News 's senior legal correspondent . Meanwhile , Sam Champion , longtime evening meteorologist at WABC - TV , was named as the new weather anchor for the program and as weather editor for ABC News . Both Cuomo and Champion began their respective duties on the program on September 5 , 2006 , when Good Morning America instituted a new graphics package and new news area for Cuomo to report headlines . The following week , on September 13 , 2006 , the program introduced a new logo -- this time with gold Avant Garde font on a blue background , which bears a resemblance to the original Good Morning America logo that was used up to early 1987 . On June 29 , 2007 , the program 's longtime film critic Joel Siegel died of complications from colon cancer at age 63 . The July 9 edition of GMA was dedicated to Siegel , with former hosts Hartman , Hill , Lunden , Newman , Christian , Perkins and Gibson all appearing to share their memories . One month later , on July 31 , 2007 , Robin Roberts announced that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer after discovering a lump in her breast during a self - examination while preparing the Siegel tribute episode . Roberts remained as anchor while undergoing chemotherapy and completed radiation treatments on March 28 , 2008 . On October 22 , 2007 , Good Morning America introduced a new on - air graphics package . Using much of the design features of its former graphics , it went from a basic blue background to a more orangish - gold setting . The program 's opening changed from the camera 's zooming in on the hosts while introducing the host to an opening with new music ( by the New York City - based music production company DreamArtists Studios ) and a background with the Good Morning America logo descending onto the frame . It also changed its news ticker and time - and - temperature bug for the first time in years . The ticker featured an orange background with a modified ABC News logo as a breakpoint for each headline . The bug still featured the time and current local temperature to the left , but with an orange backdrop with an alternate `` GMA '' logo and the ABCNews.com logo to the right . On January 15 , 2008 , during an interview with Diane Sawyer on the program , actress Diane Keaton commented on Sawyer 's physical attractiveness , stating that if she had lips like Sawyer 's , `` then I would n't have worked on my ( expletive ) personality ! '' Keaton quickly apologized for the remark and Sawyer jokingly threatened to have her mother `` work on your personality with soap in your mouth . '' Officials with the Federal Communications Commission declined to take action for the fleeting expletive . Following the death of Michael Jackson , Charles Gibson returned to the Good Morning America anchor desk with Roberts on June 26 , 2009 , while Sawyer was away . In September 2008 , Good Morning America 's anchors rode an Amtrak train to tour the United States as part of ABC News 's `` 50 States in 50 Days '' event , for which the program was broadcast from different locations around the U.S. each day throughout that month . The tour 's first telecast stop was in Stockbridge , Massachusetts . December 2009 -- April 2014 : Roberts -- Stephanopoulos ( edit ) On September 2 , 2009 , ABC announced that Sawyer would replace Gibson as anchor of ABC World News at the end of that year . Speculation had abounded that either George Stephanopoulos , news anchor Chris Cuomo , weekend anchor Bill Weir , or World News Saturday anchor David Muir would replace Sawyer on the program . Representatives for ABC News stated that it wanted to return the show to the original male - female anchor format . On December 10 , 2009 , Stephanopoulos was announced as Sawyer 's replacement , with Juju Chang replacing Cuomo as newsreader ; the changes took effect four days later on December 14 . In April 2010 , the anchor desk in the studio was relocated back in front of the window overlooking Times Square , where it had been when Good Morning America moved to the Times Square Studios facility in 1999 ; the news desk was also moved in front of a window . On May 3 , 2010 , the program debuted new `` light blue and sunny '' graphics , and new theme music by DreamArtists Studios . An entirely new set for the program was introduced on January 31 , 2011 ; the monitor used for national weather segments ( used mainly during the 7 : 00 a.m. hour only ) was moved closer to the anchor desk while the news desk remained in the same place . This was the first major set change since the show upgraded to high definition in November 2005 . On March 17 , 2011 , ABC News President Ben Sherwood announced that former GMA national correspondent Lara Spencer would be rejoining the program in a newly created lifestyle anchor position . On March 29 , 2011 , ESPN anchor Josh Elliott was named news anchor of the program following the departure of Juju Chang . In the summer of 2011 , Good Morning America decided to vacate the second floor of the Times Square studios , which overlooked Times Square , due to cost issues . On September 6 , 2011 , the program began broadcasting from an entirely new studio set located on the first floor ( ground level ) of the Times Square studios . The main `` window '' behind the presenters in the new set , which also shows a view overlooking Times Square from an above - ground level , is actually a back - projection , although there are several real windows used in other parts of the set . Amid declining ratings at Today in the aftermath of reports of Matt Lauer 's alleged role in Ann Curry 's departure as co-host ( though ratings had been in a steady decline for that program during Curry 's co-hosting tenure ) , viewership for Good Morning America increased starting in 2012 . The program beat Today for the first time in 16 years during the week of April 9 , 2012 , ending that program 's streak of 852 consecutive weeks as the most - watched network morning news program , by a margin of 31,000 more viewers than the NBC program . Good Morning America beat Today once again during the week of April 16 , 2012 , by a much larger margin of 166,000 viewers . During the week of April 1 , 2012 , ABC News special correspondent Katie Couric , who had recently joined the network as part of a deal to host a syndicated talk show distributed by corporate sister Disney - ABC Domestic Television , filled for Robin Roberts on Good Morning America . Couric had hosted the rival NBC morning program Today from 1991 to 2006 ; her Good Morning America stint marked her return to morning news after six years . On August 30 , 2012 , Roberts went on medical leave after undergoing a bone marrow transplant ( donated by her sister and fellow news anchor SallyAnn Roberts ) following her diagnosis with myelodysplastic syndrome . GMA correspondent Amy Robach and 20 / 20 anchor Elizabeth Vargas served as the primary substitutes , typically alternating every other week . Others , including some celebrities , also served as special guest anchors during this time such as Kelly Ripa , Jessica Simpson , Barbara Walters and Elisabeth Hasselbeck . On January 14 , 2013 , Roberts announced that she hoped to return to the program sometime that February ; Roberts performed dry run rehearsals during the week of January 21 in preparation for her return ; she and her doctors evaluated her body 's reaction to the makeup , the lighting , her hair , and the number of people she comes in contact with to avoid compromising her then - gradually - improving health . Roberts returned to Good Morning America part - time on February 20 , 2013 ; she announced in August 2013 that she would return to full - time hosting duties on September 3 of that year . In 2013 , GMA won its first May sweeps ratings period in 18 years . On December 4 , 2013 , weather anchor Sam Champion departed Good Morning America and ABC News after seven years on the program to join The Weather Channel , where he became primary anchor of the competing morning program America 's Morning Headquarters ( which debuted in March 2014 ) . He was succeeded the following day by Ginger Zee , who had been serving as meteorologist for the weekend editions of GMA and was also appointed to Champion 's former position as weather editor for ABC News . On March 30 , 2014 , news anchor Josh Elliott left ABC News after three years as news anchor of GMA to become a correspondent for NBC Sports , amid reports that contract negotiations to increase his annual salary ( from $1.2 million to $8 million ) broke down ; Elliott was replaced as news anchor by Amy Robach later that week . The program continued to dominate over the competition , even with the loss of two major co-hosts in Champion and Elliott . In early April 2014 , several media reports speculated that Michael Strahan would be joining GMA as a contributing anchor , while maintaining his co-host duties on Live ! with Kelly and Michael ( which is also syndicated by Disney -- ABC Domestic Television ) . Strahan 's new position was confirmed on April 15 , 2014 , when he was introduced to the audience as the new contributing anchor on the program . April 2014 -- September 2016 : Roberts -- Stephanopoulos -- Spencer ( edit ) On April 18 , 2014 , Lara Spencer was promoted to co-anchor effective immediately , receiving top billing on the program alongside Roberts and Stephanopoulos . In September 2014 , former NFL player Tim Tebow was announced to be joining the program as a part - time correspondent to help launch the new segment , `` Motivate Me Mondays '' . He made his debut on the program on September 15 , 2014 . On November 19 , 2015 , the program celebrated its 40th anniversary , with all the main anchors and most of the news and weather anchors returning to join the celebration and share their stories . Clips from all 40 years were shown . On April 19 , Strahan announced that he would be leaving Live ! with Kelly and Michael to join Good Morning America full - time . September 2016 -- present : Roberts -- Stephanopoulos -- Spencer -- Strahan ( edit ) On September 6 , 2016 , Michael Strahan began his run as official full - time co-host of the program along with Roberts , Stephanopoulos , and Spencer . A new title sequence was debuted not including Spencer 's name . The first hour focuses on the news of the morning anchored by Roberts , Stephanopulos , and Strahan . Zee does segments of the weather and Robach reads the morning headlines . The second hour is in the second floor studio and is taped in front of a live studio audience . It focuses on `` soft news '' and entertainment . It is anchored by the four main co-anchors and features guests and talk show panel discussion . Spin - off ( edit ) Good Afternoon America ( edit ) The title card for Good Afternoon America , which aired for a nine - week period . A special summer afternoon edition of Good Morning America , titled Good Afternoon America , premiered on July 9 , 2012 , as a temporary replacement for the canceled talk / lifestyle show The Revolution in the 2 : 00 p.m. Eastern Time weekday slot . Good Afternoon America was taped immediately after the morning program and focused on lighter fare , with the exception of the July 20 edition , which provided live coverage of the Aurora Century 16 theater shooting . Like its morning counterpart , Good Afternoon America originated from Times Square Studios . The limited - run program , which ended on September 7 , 2012 , was hosted by then Good Morning America news anchor Josh Elliott and lifestyle anchor Lara Spencer . GMA Wake up Call ( edit ) GMA Wake Up Call is a pre-morning show hosted by Ginger Zee . Substitute hosts include Rob Marciano .

The program was cancelled on February 28 , 1999 . In August 2010 , Bill Weir left the weekend edition to become co-anchor of Nightline ; Marysol Castro left the show the following month . While Dan Harris officially took over as Weir 's replacement that October , meteorologists from various ABC affiliates across the country filled in to provide the national weather segments for over a year after Castro 's departure ; eventually in November 2011 , Ginger Zee , who previously served as a meteorologist at NBC O&O WMAQ - TV in Chicago , was appointed as weather anchor for the weekend editions . After Zee was promoted to weather anchor of the weekday edition of Good Morning America in December 2013 , the program returned to having ABC affiliate meteorologists to substitute on the Saturday and Sunday editions , until ABC announced the appointment of Rob Marciano ( a former CNN meteorologist who had recently departed as co-host of Entertainment Tonight ) as full - time weekend weather anchor in July 2014 , effective that September . In July 2014 , Bianna Golodryga announced she would be leaving ABC to take a correspondent role at Yahoo News . Paula Faris ( who previously substituted for Golodryga in the spring of 2012 , while she was on maternity leave ) was named as Golodryga 's replacement as weekend co-anchor . Most weeks , the GMA Weekend shows originate from the main ABC News set at the ABC Television Center in Manhattan 's Lincoln Square neighborhood rather than Times Square Studios ; the set 's large rear - projection screen is used to project the Times Square background seen in the background of the weekday GMA to provide continuity .

Vitamin K - wikipedia Vitamin K This article is about the family of vitamers . For vitamin K , the form usually used as a supplement , see Phytomenadione . Vitamin K Drug class Vitamin K structures . MK - 4 and MK - 7 are both subtypes of K . Class identifiers Use Vitamin K deficiency , Warfarin overdose ATC code B02BA Biological target Gamma - glutamyl carboxylase Clinical data Drugs.com Medical Encyclopedia External links MeSH D014812 In Wikidata Vitamin K is a group of structurally similar , fat - soluble vitamins that the human body requires for complete synthesis of certain proteins that are prerequisites for blood coagulation ( K from Koagulation , Danish for `` coagulation '' ) and which the body also needs for controlling binding of calcium in bones and other tissues . The vitamin K - related modification of the proteins allows them to bind calcium ions , which they can not do otherwise . Without vitamin K , blood coagulation is seriously impaired , and uncontrolled bleeding occurs . Preliminary clinical research indicates that deficiency of vitamin K may weaken bones , potentially leading to osteoporosis , and may promote calcification of arteries and other soft tissues . Chemically , the vitamin K family comprises 2 - methyl - 1 , 4 - naphthoquinone ( 3 - ) derivatives . Vitamin K includes two natural vitamers : vitamin K and vitamin K. Vitamin K , in turn , consists of a number of related chemical subtypes , with differing lengths of carbon side chains made of isoprenoid groups of atoms . Vitamin K , also known as phylloquinone , is made by plants , and is found in highest amounts in green leafy vegetables because it is directly involved in photosynthesis . It may be thought of as the plant form of vitamin K. It is active as a vitamin in animals and performs the classic functions of vitamin K , including its activity in the production of blood - clotting proteins . Animals may also convert it to vitamin K . Bacteria in the gut flora can also convert K into vitamin K ( menaquinone ) . In addition , bacteria typically lengthen the isoprenoid side chain of vitamin K to produce a range of vitamin K forms , most notably the MK - 7 to MK - 11 homologues of vitamin K. All forms of K other than MK - 4 can only be produced by bacteria , which use these forms in anaerobic respiration . The MK - 7 and other bacterially derived forms of vitamin K exhibit vitamin K activity in animals , but MK - 7 's extra utility over MK - 4 , if any , is unclear and is a matter of investigation . Because a synthetic form of vitamin K , vitamin K ( menadione ) , may be toxic by interfering with the function of glutathione , it is no longer used to treat vitamin K deficiency . Contents ( hide ) 1 Health effects 1.1 Osteoporosis 1.2 Cardiovascular health 1.3 Cancer 1.4 Warfarin overdose and Coumadin poisoning 2 Side effects 3 Interactions 4 Chemistry 4.1 Conversion of vitamin K to vitamin K 4.2 Vitamin K 5 Physiology 6 Absorption and dietary need 7 Dietary recommendations 8 Food sources 8.1 Vitamin K 9 Deficiency 10 Biochemistry 10.1 Function in animals 10.2 Gamma - carboxyglutamate proteins 10.3 Methods of assessment 10.4 Function in bacteria 11 Injection in newborns 11.1 United States 11.2 United Kingdom 11.3 Controversy 12 History 13 References 14 Bibliography 15 External links Health effects ( edit ) Osteoporosis ( edit ) A review of 2014 concluded that there is positive evidence that monotherapy using MK - 4 , one of the forms of Vitamin K , reduces fracture incidence in post-menopausal women with osteoporosis , and suggested further research on the combined use of MK - 4 with bisphosphonates . In contrast , an earlier review article of 2013 concluded that there is no good evidence that vitamin K supplementation helps prevent osteoporosis or fractures in postmenopausal women . A Cochrane systematic review of 2006 suggested that supplementation with Vitamin K and with MK4 reduces bone loss ; in particular , a strong effect of MK - 4 on incident fractures among Japanese patients was emphasized . A review article of 2016 suggested to consider , as one of several measures for bone health , increasing the intake of foods rich in vitamins K and K . Cardiovascular Health ( edit ) Adequate intake of vitamin K is associated with the inhibition of arterial calcification and stiffening , but there have been few interventional studies and no good evidence that vitamin K supplementation is of any benefit in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease . One 10 - year population study , the Rotterdam Study , did show a clear and significant inverse relationship between the highest intake levels of menaquinone ( mainly MK - 4 from eggs and meat , and MK - 8 and MK - 9 from cheese ) and cardiovascular disease and all - cause mortality in older men and women . Cancer ( edit ) Vitamin K has been promoted in supplement form with claims it can slow tumor growth ; however , no good medical evidence supports such claims . Warfarin overdose and Coumadin poisoning ( edit ) Vitamin K is one of the treatments for bleeding events caused by overdose of the anticoagulant drug warfarin ( Coumadin ® ) . Vitamin K is also part of the suggested treatment regime for poisoning by rodenticide ( coumarin poisoning ) . Side effects ( edit ) Although allergic reaction from supplementation is possible , no known toxicity is associated with high doses of the phylloquinone ( vitamin K ) or menaquinone ( vitamin K ) forms of vitamin K , so no tolerable upper intake level ( UL ) has been set . Blood clotting ( coagulation ) studies in humans using 45 mg per day of vitamin K ( as MK - 4 ) and even up to 135 mg per day ( 45 mg three times daily ) of K ( as MK - 4 ) , showed no increase in blood clot risk . Even doses in rats as high as 250 mg / kg , body weight did not alter the tendency for blood - clot formation to occur . Unlike the safe natural forms of vitamin K and vitamin K and their various isomers , a synthetic form of vitamin K , vitamin K ( menadione ) , is demonstrably toxic at high levels . The U.S. FDA has banned this form from over-the - counter sale in the United States because large doses have been shown to cause allergic reactions , hemolytic anemia , and cytotoxicity in liver cells . Interactions ( edit ) Phylloquinone ( K ) or menaquinone ( K ) are capable of reversing the anticoagulant activity of the anticoagulant warfarin ( tradename Coumadin ) . Warfarin works by blocking recycling of vitamin K , so that the body and tissues have lower levels of active vitamin K , and thus a deficiency of vitamin K . Supplemental vitamin K ( for which oral dosing is often more active than injectable dosing in human adults ) reverses the vitamin K deficiency caused by warfarin , and therefore reduces the intended anticoagulant action of warfarin and related drugs . Sometimes small amounts of vitamin K are given orally to patients taking warfarin so that the action of the drug is more predictable . The proper anticoagulant action of the drug is a function of vitamin K intake and drug dose , and due to differing absorption must be individualized for each patient . The action of warfarin and vitamin K both require two to five days after dosing to have maximum effect , and neither warfarin or vitamin K shows much effect in the first 24 hours after they are given . The newer anticoagulants dabigatran and rivaroxaban have different mechanisms of action that do not interact with vitamin K , and may be taken with supplemental vitamin K . Chemistry ( edit ) Vitamin K ( menaquinone ) . In menaquinone , the side chain is composed of a varying number of isoprenoid residues . The most common number of these residues is four , since animal enzymes normally produce menaquinone - 4 from plant phylloquinone . A sample of phytomenadione for injection , also called phylloquinone The three synthetic forms of vitamin K are vitamins K ( menadione ) , K , and K , which are used in many areas , including the pet food industry ( vitamin K ) and to inhibit fungal growth ( vitamin K ) . Conversion of vitamin K to vitamin K ( edit ) Vitamin K ( phylloquinone ) -- both forms of the vitamin contain a functional naphthoquinone ring and an aliphatic side chain . Phylloquinone has a phytyl side chain . The MK - 4 form of vitamin K is produced by conversion of vitamin K in the testes , pancreas , and arterial walls . While major questions still surround the biochemical pathway for this transformation , the conversion is not dependent on gut bacteria , as it occurs in germ - free rats and in parenterally administered K in rats . In fact , tissues that accumulate high amounts of MK - 4 have a remarkable capacity to convert up to 90 % of the available K into MK - 4 . There is evidence that the conversion proceeds by removal of the phytyl tail of K to produce menadione as an intermediate , which is then condensed with an activated geranylgeranyl moiety ( see also prenylation ) to produce vitamin K in the MK - 4 ( menatetrenone ) form . Vitamin K ( edit ) Main article : Vitamin K Vitamin K ( menaquinone ) includes several subtypes . The two most studied ones are menaquinone - 4 ( menatetrenone , MK - 4 ) and menaquinone - 7 ( MK - 7 ) . Physiology ( edit ) Vitamin K , the precursor of most vitamin K in nature , is a stereoisomer of phylloquinone , an important chemical in green plants , where it functions as an electron acceptor in photosystem I during photosynthesis . For this reason , vitamin K is found in large quantities in the photosynthetic tissues of plants ( green leaves , and dark green leafy vegetables such as romaine lettuce , kale , and spinach ) , but it occurs in far smaller quantities in other plant tissues ( roots , fruits , etc . ) . Iceberg lettuce contains relatively little . The function of phylloquinone in plants appears to have no resemblance to its later metabolic and biochemical function ( as `` vitamin K '' ) in animals , where it performs a completely different biochemical reaction . Vitamin K ( in animals ) is involved in the carboxylation of certain glutamate residues in proteins to form gamma - carboxyglutamate ( Gla ) residues . The modified residues are often ( but not always ) situated within specific protein domains called Gla domains . Gla residues are usually involved in binding calcium , and are essential for the biological activity of all known Gla proteins . At this time , 17 human proteins with Gla domains have been discovered , and they play key roles in the regulation of three physiological processes : Blood coagulation : prothrombin ( factor II ) , factors VII , IX , and X , and proteins C , S , and Z Bone metabolism : osteocalcin , also called bone Gla protein ( BGP ) , matrix Gla protein ( MGP ) , periostin , and the recently discovered Gla - rich protein ( GRP ) . Vascular biology : growth arrest - specific protein 6 ( Gas6 ) Unknown function : proline - rich γ - carboxyglutamyl proteins ( PRGPs ) 1 and 2 , and transmembrane γ - carboxy glutamyl proteins ( TMGs ) 3 and 4 . Like other lipid - soluble vitamins ( A , D , and E ) , vitamin K is stored in the fatty tissue of the human body . Absorption and dietary need ( edit ) Previous theory held that dietary deficiency is extremely rare unless the small intestine was heavily damaged , resulting in malabsorption of the molecule . Another at - risk group for deficiency were those subject to decreased production of K by normal intestinal microbiota , as seen in broad - spectrum antibiotic use . Taking broad - spectrum antibiotics can reduce vitamin K production in the gut by nearly 74 % in people compared with those not taking these antibiotics . Diets low in vitamin K also decrease the body 's vitamin K concentration . Those with chronic kidney disease are at risk for vitamin K deficiency , as well as vitamin D deficiency , and particularly those with the apoE4 genotype . Additionally , the elderly have a reduction in vitamin K . Dietary recommendations ( edit ) The U.S. Institute of Medicine ( IOM ) updated Estimated Average Requirements ( EARs ) and Recommended Dietary Allowances ( RDAs ) for vitamin K in 1998 . The IOM does not distinguish between K and K -- both are counted as vitamin K . At that time , t sufficient information was not available to establish EARs and RDAs for vitamin K . In instances such as these , the board sets Adequate Intakes ( AIs ) , with the understanding that at some later date , AIs will be replaced by more exact information . The current AIs for adult women and men ages 19 and up are 90 and 120 μg / day , respectively . AI for pregnancy is 90 μg / day . AI for lactation is 90 μg / day . For infants up to 12 months , the AI is 2.0 - 2.5 μg / day ; for children ages 1 -- 18 years the AI increases with age from 30 to 75 μg / day . As for safety , the IOM sets tolerable upper intake levels ( known as ULs ) for vitamins and minerals when evidence is sufficient . Vitamin K has no UL , as human data for adverse effects from high doses are inadequate . Collectively , the EARs , RDAs , AIs and ULs are referred to as Dietary Reference Intakes . The European Food Safety Authority ( EFSA ) refers to the collective set of information as Dietary Reference Values , with Population Reference Intake ( PRI ) instead of RDA , and Average Requirement instead of EAR . AI and UL are defined the same as in United States . For women and men over age 18 the AI is set at 70 μg / day . AI for pregnancy is 70 μg / day , ad for lactation 70 μg / day . For children ages 1 -- 17 years , the AIs increase with age from 12 to 65 μg / day . These AIs are lower than the U.S. RDAs . The EFSA also reviewed the safety question and reached the same conclusion as in United States - that there was not sufficient evidence to set a UL for vitamin K . For U.S. food and dietary supplement labeling purposes , the amount in a serving is expressed as a percentage of Daily Value ( % DV ) . For vitamin K labeling purposes , 100 % of the Daily Value was 80 μg , but as of May 27 , 2016 , it was revised upwards to 120 μg , to bring it into agreement with the AI . A table of the old and new adult Daily Values is provided at Reference Daily Intake . The original deadline to be in compliance was July 28 , 2018 , but on September 29 , 2017 , the FDA released a proposed rule that extended the deadline to January 1 , 2020 for large companies and January 1 , 2021 for small companies .

Vitamin K is found chiefly in leafy green vegetables such as spinach , swiss chard , lettuce and Brassica vegetables ( such as cabbage , kale , cauliflower , broccoli , and brussels sprouts ) and often the absorption is greater when accompanied by fats such as butter or oils . Some fruits , such as avocados , kiwifruit and grapes , also contain vitamin K. Some vegetable oils , notably soybean oil , contain vitamin K , but at levels that would require relatively large calorie consumption to meet the recommended amounts . The tight binding of vitamin K to thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts makes it less bioavailable . For example , cooked spinach has a 5 % bioavailability of phylloquinone , however , fat added to it increases bioavailability to 13 % due to the increased solubility of vitamin K in fat . Deficiency ( edit ) Main article : Vitamin K deficiency Average diets are usually not lacking in vitamin K , and primary deficiency is rare in healthy adults . Newborn infants are at an increased risk of deficiency . Other populations with an increased prevalence of vitamin K deficiency include those who suffer from liver damage or disease ( e.g. alcoholics ) , cystic fibrosis , or inflammatory bowel diseases , or have recently had abdominal surgeries . Secondary vitamin K deficiency can occur in people with bulimia , those on stringent diets , and those taking anticoagulants . Other drugs associated with vitamin K deficiency include salicylates , barbiturates , and cefamandole , although the mechanisms are still unknown . Vitamin K deficiency can result in coagulopathy , a bleeding disorder . Symptoms of K deficiency include anemia , bruising , nosebleeds and bleeding of the gums in both sexes , and heavy menstrual bleeding in women . Osteoporosis and coronary heart disease are strongly associated with lower levels of K ( menaquinone ) . Vitamin K ( as menaquinones MK - 4 through MK - 10 ) intake level is inversely related to severe aortic calcification and all - cause mortality . Biochemistry ( edit ) Function in animals ( edit ) Mechanism of action of vitamin K . The function of vitamin K in the animal cell is to add a carboxylic acid functional group to a glutamate ( Glu ) amino acid residue in a protein , to form a gamma - carboxyglutamate ( Gla ) residue . This is a somewhat uncommon posttranslational modification of the protein , which is then known as a `` Gla protein '' . The presence of two − COOH ( carboxylic acid ) groups on the same carbon in the gamma - carboxyglutamate residue allows it to chelate calcium ions . The binding of calcium ions in this way very often triggers the function or binding of Gla - protein enzymes , such as the so - called vitamin K - dependent clotting factors discussed below . Within the cell , vitamin K undergoes electron reduction to a reduced form called vitamin K hydroquinone , catalyzed by the enzyme vitamin K epoxide reductase ( VKOR ) . Another enzyme then oxidizes vitamin K hydroquinone to allow carboxylation of Glu to Gla ; this enzyme is called gamma - glutamyl carboxylase or the vitamin K - dependent carboxylase . The carboxylation reaction only proceeds if the carboxylase enzyme is able to oxidize vitamin K hydroquinone to vitamin K epoxide at the same time . The carboxylation and epoxidation reactions are said to be coupled . Vitamin K epoxide is then reconverted to vitamin K by VKOR . The reduction and subsequent reoxidation of vitamin K coupled with carboxylation of Glu is called the vitamin K cycle . Humans are rarely deficient in vitamin K because , in part , vitamin K is continuously recycled in cells . Warfarin and other 4 - hydroxycoumarins block the action of VKOR . This results in decreased concentrations of vitamin K and vitamin K hydroquinone in tissues , such that the carboxylation reaction catalyzed by the glutamyl carboxylase is inefficient . This results in the production of clotting factors with inadequate Gla . Without Gla on the amino termini of these factors , they no longer bind stably to the blood vessel endothelium and can not activate clotting to allow formation of a clot during tissue injury . As it is impossible to predict what dose of warfarin will give the desired degree of clotting suppression , warfarin treatment must be carefully monitored to avoid overdose . Gamma - carboxyglutamate proteins ( edit ) Main article : Gla domain The following human Gla - containing proteins ( `` Gla proteins '' ) have been characterized to the level of primary structure : blood coagulation factors II ( prothrombin ) , VII , IX , and X , anticoagulant proteins C and S , and the factor X-targeting protein Z . The bone Gla protein osteocalcin , the calcification - inhibiting matrix Gla protein ( MGP ) , the cell growth regulating growth arrest specific gene 6 protein ( Gas6 ) , and the four transmembrane Gla proteins ( TMGPs ) , the function of which is at present unknown . Gas6 can function as a growth factor to activate the Axl receptor tyrosine kinase and stimulate cell proliferation or prevent apoptosis in some cells . In all cases in which their function was known , the presence of the Gla residues in these proteins turned out to be essential for functional activity . Gla proteins are known to occur in a wide variety of vertebrates : mammals , birds , reptiles , and fish . The venom of a number of Australian snakes acts by activating the human blood - clotting system . In some cases , activation is accomplished by snake Gla - containing enzymes that bind to the endothelium of human blood vessels and catalyze the conversion of procoagulant clotting factors into activated ones , leading to unwanted and potentially deadly clotting . Another interesting class of invertebrate Gla - containing proteins is synthesized by the fish - hunting snail Conus geographus . These snails produce a venom containing hundreds of neuroactive peptides , or conotoxins , which is sufficiently toxic to kill an adult human . Several of the conotoxins contain two to five Gla residues . Methods of assessment ( edit ) Vitamin K status can be assessed by : The prothrombin time ( PT ) test measures the time required for blood to clot . A blood sample is mixed with citric acid and put in a fibrometer ; delayed clot formation indicates a deficiency . This test is insensitive to mild deficiency , as the values do not change until the concentration of prothrombin in the blood has declined by at least 50 % . Undercarboxylated prothrombin ( PIVKA - II ) ; in a study of 53 newborns , found `` PT ( prothrombin time ) is a less sensitive marker than PIVKA II '' , and as indicated above , PT is unable to detect subclinical deficiencies that can be detected with PIVKA - II testing . Plasma phylloquinone was found to be positively correlated with phylloquinone intake in elderly British women , but not men , but an article by Schurgers et al. reported no correlation between responses in a food frequency questionnaire and plasma phylloquinone . Urinary γ - carboxyglutamic acid responds to changes in dietary vitamin K intake . Several days are required before any change can be observed . In a study by Booth et al. , increases of phylloquinone intakes from 100 μg to between 377 and 417 μg for five days did not induce a significant change . Response may be age - specific . Undercarboxylated osteocalcin ( UcOc ) levels have been inversely correlated with stores of vitamin K and bone strength in developing rat tibiae . Another study following 78 post-menopausal Korean women found a supplement regimen of vitamins K and D , and calcium , but not a regimen of vitamin D and calcium , was inversely correlated with reduced UcOc levels . Function in bacteria ( edit ) Many bacteria , such as Escherichia coli found in the large intestine , can synthesize vitamin K ( menaquinone - 7 or MK - 7 , up to MK - 11 ) , but not vitamin K ( phylloquinone ) . In these bacteria , menaquinone transfers two electrons between two different small molecules , during oxygen - independent metabolic energy production processes ( anaerobic respiration ) . For example , a small molecule with an excess of electrons ( also called an electron donor ) such as lactate , formate , or NADH , with the help of an enzyme , passes two electrons to menaquinone . The menaquinone , with the help of another enzyme , then transfers these two electrons to a suitable oxidant , such fumarate or nitrate ( also called an electron acceptor ) . Adding two electrons to fumarate or nitrate converts the molecule to succinate or nitrite plus water , respectively . Some of these reactions generate a cellular energy source , ATP , in a manner similar to eukaryotic cell aerobic respiration , except the final electron acceptor is not molecular oxygen , but fumarate or nitrate . In aerobic respiration , the final oxidant is molecular oxygen ( O ) , which accepts four electrons from an electron donor such as NADH to be converted to water . E. coli , as facultative anaerobes , can carry out both aerobic respiration and menaquinone - mediated anaerobic respiration . Injection in newborns ( edit ) The blood clotting factors of newborn babies are roughly 30 -- 60 % that of adult values ; this may be due to the reduced synthesis of precursor proteins and the sterility of their guts . Human milk contains 1 -- 4 μg / L of vitamin K , while formula - derived milk can contain up to 100 μg / L in supplemented formulas . Vitamin K concentrations in human milk appear to be much lower than those of vitamin K. Occurrence of vitamin K deficiency bleeding in the first week of the infant 's life is estimated at 0.25 -- 1.7 % , with a prevalence of 2 -- 10 cases per 100,000 births . Premature babies have even lower levels of the vitamin , so they are at a higher risk from this deficiency . Bleeding in infants due to vitamin K deficiency can be severe , leading to hospitalization , blood transfusions , brain damage , and death . Supplementation can prevent most cases of vitamin K deficiency bleeding in the newborn . Intramuscular administration ( known as the Vitamin K shot ) is more effective in preventing late vitamin K deficiency bleeding than oral administration . United States ( edit ) As a result of the occurrences of vitamin K deficiency bleeding , the Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended 0.5 -- 1 mg of vitamin K be administered to all newborns shortly after birth . United kingdom ( edit ) In the UK , vitamin K supplementation is recommended for all newborns within the first 24 hours . This is usually given as a single intramuscular injection of 1 mg shortly after birth but as a second - line option can be given by three oral doses over the first month . Controversy ( edit ) Controversy arose in the early 1990s regarding this practice , when two studies suggested a relationship between parenteral administration of vitamin K and childhood cancer . However , poor methods and small sample sizes led to the discrediting of these studies , and a review of the evidence published in 2000 by Ross and Davies found no link between the two . Doctors reported emerging concerns in 2013 , after treating children for serious bleeding problems . They cited lack of newborn vitamin K administration as the reason that the problems occurred , and recommended that breastfed babies could have an increased risk unless they receive a preventative dose . History ( edit ) In 1929 , Danish scientist Henrik Dam investigated the role of cholesterol by feeding chickens a cholesterol - depleted diet . He initially replicated experiments reported by scientists at the Ontario Agricultural College ( OAC ) . McFarlane , Graham and Richardson , working on the chick feed program at OAC , had used chloroform to remove all fat from chick chow . They noticed that chicks fed only fat - depleted chow developed hemorrhages and started bleeding from tag sites . Dam found that these defects could not be restored by adding purified cholesterol to the diet . It appeared that -- together with the cholesterol -- a second compound had been extracted from the food , and this compound was called the coagulation vitamin . The new vitamin received the letter K because the initial discoveries were reported in a German journal , in which it was designated as Koagulationsvitamin . Edward Adelbert Doisy of Saint Louis University did much of the research that led to the discovery of the structure and chemical nature of vitamin K. Dam and Doisy shared the 1943 Nobel Prize for medicine for their work on vitamin K ( K and K ) published in 1939 . Several laboratories synthesized the compound ( s ) in 1939 . For several decades , the vitamin K - deficient chick model was the only method of quantifying vitamin K in various foods : the chicks were made vitamin K - deficient and subsequently fed with known amounts of vitamin K - containing food . The extent to which blood coagulation was restored by the diet was taken as a measure for its vitamin K content . Three groups of physicians independently found this : Biochemical Institute , University of Copenhagen ( Dam and Johannes Glavind ) , University of Iowa Department of Pathology ( Emory Warner , Kenneth Brinkhous , and Harry Pratt Smith ) , and the Mayo Clinic ( Hugh Butt , Albert Snell , and Arnold Osterberg ) . The first published report of successful treatment with vitamin K of life - threatening hemorrhage in a jaundiced patient with prothrombin deficiency was made in 1938 by Smith , Warner , and Brinkhous . The precise function of vitamin K was not discovered until 1974 , when three laboratories ( Stenflo et al. , Nelsestuen et al. , and Magnusson et al . ) isolated the vitamin K - dependent coagulation factor prothrombin ( factor II ) from cows that received a high dose of a vitamin K antagonist , warfarin . It was shown that , while warfarin - treated cows had a form of prothrombin that contained 10 glutamate ( Glu ) amino acid residues near the amino terminus of this protein , the normal ( untreated ) cows contained 10 unusual residues that were chemically identified as γ - carboxyglutamate ( Gla ) . The extra carboxyl group in Gla made clear that vitamin K plays a role in a carboxylation reaction during which Glu is converted into Gla . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : `` Vitamin K '' .

what are the main sources of vitamin k

Vitamin K , also known as phylloquinone , is made by plants , and is found in highest amounts in green leafy vegetables because it is directly involved in photosynthesis . It may be thought of as the plant form of vitamin K. It is active as a vitamin in animals and performs the classic functions of vitamin K , including its activity in the production of blood - clotting proteins . Animals may also convert it to vitamin K .

Edwardian era - wikipedia Edwardian era This article is about the reign of King Edward VII in the 20th century . For use of the term Edwardian in medieval English history , see Edward I of England . Edwardian era 1901 -- 1914 King Edward VII by Fildes ( c. 1901 ) Preceded by Victorian era Followed by First World War Monarch ( s ) Edward VII George V Leader ( s ) Lord Salisbury Arthur Balfour Sir Henry Campbell - Bannerman H.H. Asquith Periods in English history ( hide ) Prehistoric Britain until c. 43 Roman Britain c. 43 -- 410 Anglo - Saxon c. 500 -- 1066 Norman 1066 -- 1154 Plantagenet 1154 -- 1485 Tudor 1485 -- 1603 Elizabethan 1558 -- 1603 Stuart 1603 -- 1714 Jacobean 1603 -- 1625 Caroline 1625 -- 1649 ( Interregnum ) 1649 -- 1660 Restoration 1660 -- 1714 Georgian 1714 -- 1837 Regency 1811 -- 1820 Victorian 1837 -- 1901 Edwardian 1901 -- 1914 First World War 1914 -- 1918 Interwar Britain 1919 -- 1939 Second World War 1939 -- 1945 See also Political history ( 1945 -- present ) Social history ( 1945 -- present ) Timeline The Edwardian era or Edwardian period of British history covers the brief reign of King Edward VII , 1901 to 1910 , and is sometimes extended in both directions to capture long - term trends from the 1890s to the First World War . The death of Queen Victoria in January 1901 marked the end of the Victorian era . The new king Edward VII was already the leader of a fashionable elite that set a style influenced by the art and fashions of continental Europe . Samuel Hynes described the Edwardian era as a `` leisurely time when women wore picture hats and did not vote , when the rich were not ashamed to live conspicuously , and the sun really never set on the British flag ' '' . The Liberals returned to power in 1906 and made significant reforms . Below the upper class , the era was marked by significant shifts in politics among sections of society that were largely excluded from wielding power in the past , such as common labourers . Women became increasingly politicised .

This perception was created in the 1920s and later by those who remembered the Edwardian age with nostalgia , looking back to their childhoods across the abyss of the Great War . The Edwardian age was also seen as a mediocre period of pleasure between the great achievements of the preceding Victorian age and the catastrophe of the following war . Since 2000 historiographical assessments emphasise the great differences between the wealthy and the poor during this period and describe the age as heralding great changes in political and social life . Historian Lawrence James has argued that the leaders felt increasingly threatened by rival powers such as Germany , Russia , and the United States . The sudden arrival of world war in summer 1914 was completely unexpected ; only the Royal Navy was prepared for war . Politics ( edit ) There was a growing political awareness of the working - class , leading to a rise in trade unions , the Labour movement and demands for better working conditions . The aristocracy remained in control of top government offices . Conservative Party ( edit ) Main article : History of the Conservative Party ( UK ) The Conservatives -- at the time called `` Unionists '' -- were the dominant political party from the 1890s until 1906 . The party had many strengths , appealing to voters supportive of imperialism , tariffs , the Church of England , a powerful Royal Navy , and traditional hierarchical society . There was a powerful leadership base in the landed aristocracy and landed gentry in rural England , plus strong support from the Church of England and military interests . Historians have used election returns to demonstrate that Conservatives did surprisingly well in working - class districts . They had an appeal as well to the better - off element of traditional working - class Britons in the larger cities . In rural areas , the national headquarters made highly effective use of paid traveling lecturers , with pamphlets , posters , and especially lantern slides , who were able to communicate effectively with rural voters -- particularly the newly enfranchised agricultural workers . In the first years of the twentieth century , the Conservative government , with Arthur Balfour as Prime Minister , had numerous successes in foreign policy , defence , and education , as well as solutions for the issues of alcohol licensing and land ownership for the peasants of Ireland . Nevertheless , the weaknesses were accumulating , and proved so overwhelming in 1906 that they did not return to complete power until 1922 . The Conservative Party was losing its drive and enthusiasm , especially after the retirement of the charismatic Joseph Chamberlain . There was a bitter split on `` tariff reform '' ( that is , imposing tariffs or taxes on all imports ) , that drove many of the free traders over to the Liberal camp . Tariff reform was a losing issue that the Conservative leadership inexplicably clung to . Support among the top tier of the working - class , and in lower middle - class weakened , and there was dissatisfaction among the intellectuals . The 1906 general election was a landslide victory for the Liberal Party , which saw its total vote share increase by 25 % , while the Conservative total vote held steady . Liberal Party ( edit ) Main article : Liberal Party ( UK ) The Liberal Party lacked a unified ideological base in 1906 . It contained numerous contradictory and hostile factions , such as imperialists and supporters of the Boers ; near - socialists and laissez - faire classical liberals ; suffragettes and opponents of women 's suffrage ; antiwar elements and supporters of the military alliance with France . Non-Conformist Dissenters -- Protestants outside the Anglican fold -- were a powerful element , dedicated to opposing the established church in terms of education and taxation . However , the Dissenters were losing support and society at large and played a lesser and lesser role in party affairs after 1900 . The Party , furthermore , also included Irish Catholics , and secularists from the labour movement . The middle - class business , professional and intellectual communities were generally strongholds , although some old aristocratic families played important roles as well . The working - class element was moving rapidly toward the newly emerging Labour Party . One uniting element was widespread agreement on the use of politics and Parliament as a device to upgrade and improve society and to reform politics . Labour Party ( edit ) Main article : History of the Labour Party ( UK ) The Labour Party was emerging from the rapidly growing trade union movement after 1890 . In 1903 it entered the Gladstone -- MacDonald pact with the Liberals , allowing for cross-party support in elections , and the emergence of a small Labour contingent in Parliament . It was a temporary arrangement until the 1920s , when the Labour Party was strong enough to act on its own , and the Liberals were in an irreversible decline . Subtle social changes in the working - class were producing a younger generation that wanted to act independently . Michael Childs argues that the younger generation had reason to prefer Labour over Liberal political styles . Social factors included secularised elementary education ( with a disappearing role for Dissenting schools that inculcated Liberal viewpoints ) ; the `` New Unionism '' after 1890 brought unskilled workers into a movement previously dominated by the skilled workers ; and new leisure activities , especially the music hall and sports , involved youth while repelling the older generation of Liberal voters . Boer War ( edit ) Main article : Opposition to the Second Boer War The government entered the Second Boer War with great confidence , little expecting that the two small rural Boer republics in southern Africa with a combined White population less than London would hold off the concentrated power of the British Empire for two and half years , and take 400,000 Imperial troops to secure victory . The war split the Liberal Party into anti - and pro-war factions . Great orators , such as Liberal David Lloyd George , who spoke against the war , became increasingly influential . Nevertheless Liberal Unionist Joseph Chamberlain , who was largely in charge of the war , maintained his hold on power . When General Kitchener took command in 1900 , he initiated a scorched earth policy in order to foil Boer guerilla tactics . Captured Boer combatants were transported overseas to other British possessions as prisoners of war . However he relocated noncombatant Boers -- mostly women and children -- into heavily guarded internment camps . The internment camps were overcrowded with bad sanitation and meagre food rations . Contagious diseases such as measles , typhoid and dysentery were endemic . Many of the internees died . Emily Hobhouse visited the camps and brought the conditions to the attention of the British public . Public outcry resulted in the Fawcett Commission which corroborated Hobhouse 's report and eventually led to improved conditions . The Boers surrendered and the Boer Republics were annexed by the British Empire . Jan Smuts -- a leading Boer general -- became a senior official of the new government and even became a top British official in the World War . In 1901 , the six British self - governing colonies of Queensland , New South Wales , Victoria , Tasmania , South Australia , and Western Australia united to form the Commonwealth of Australia , with almost complete control of its internal affairs , but with foreign policy and defence handled by London . Edmund Barton was the first prime minister . The Liberal reforms ( edit ) Further information : Liberal welfare reforms Liberal poster c. 1905 -- 10 The Liberal Party under Henry Campbell - Bannerman rallied Liberals around the traditional platform of free trade and land reform and led them to the greatest electoral victory in Liberal Party history . The Prime Minister was overshadowed by his frontbench , most notably H.H. Asquith at the Exchequer , Edward Grey at the Foreign Office , Richard Burdon Haldane at the War Office and David Lloyd George at the Board of Trade . Campbell - Bannerman retired in 1908 and was succeeded by Asquith . He stepped up the government 's radicalism , especially in the `` People 's Budget '' of 1909 that proposed to fund expanded social welfare programmes with new taxes on land and high incomes . It was blocked by the Conservative - dominated House of Lords , but eventually became law in April 1910 . H.H. Asquith Almost half of the Liberal MPs elected in 1906 were supportive of the ' New Liberalism ' , which advocated government action to improve people 's lives . `` Wild Fare '' . Cartoonist John Bernard Partridge depicts Lloyd George as a giant with a cudgel labelled `` Budget '' in reference to his People 's Budget ; Asquith cowers beneath the table . Punch 28 April 1909 Liberals in 1906 -- 1911 passed major legislation designed to reform politics and society , such as the regulation of working hours , National Insurance and the beginnings of the welfare state , as well as curtailing the power of the House of Lords . Women 's suffrage was not on the Liberal agenda . There were numerous major reforms helping labour , typified by the Trade Boards Act 1909 that set minimum wages in certain trades with the history of `` sweated '' or `` sweatshop '' rates of especially low wages , because of surplus of available workers , the presence of women workers , or the lack of skills . At first it applied to four industries : chain - making , ready - made tailoring , paper - box making , and the machine - made lace and finishing trade . It was later expanded to coal mining and then to other industries with preponderance of unskilled manual labour by the Trade Boards Act 1918 . Under the leadership of David Lloyd George Liberals extended minimum wages to farm workers . Conservative peers in the House of Lords tried to stop the People 's Budget . The Liberals passed the Parliament Act 1911 to sharply reduce the power of the House of Lords to block legislation . The cost was high , however , as the government was required by the king to call two general elections in 1910 to validate its position and ended up frittering away most of its large majority , with the balance of power held by Labour and Irish Parliamentary Party members . Foreign relations ( edit ) Main articles : International relations of the Great Powers ( 1814 -- 1919 ) , Causes of World War I , and Timeline of British diplomatic history Diplomatic ties with France and Russia against Germany ( edit ) Main articles : France -- United Kingdom relations and Germany -- United Kingdom relations Germany 's Chancellor Otto von Bismarck dominated European diplomacy from 1872 - 1890 , with the determination to use the balance of power to keep the peace . There were no wars . Bismarck was removed by an aggressive young Kaiser Wilhelm in 1890 , effectively decentralizing the Bismarckian Order that had been shrewdly managed and empowering French efforts to isolate Germany . With the formation of the Triple Entente , Germany began to feel encircled : to the West lay France , with whom rivalry was awakening after a generation of dormancy following the Franco - Prussian War , to the East sat Russia , whose rapid industrialization worried leaders across the Continent , and in the seas , British primacy threatened a unified Germany 's efforts to develop its ports and maintain its new global empire . Joseph Chamberlain , who played a major role in foreign policy in the late 1890s under the Salisbury government , repeatedly tried to open talks with Germany about some sort of an alliance . Germany was not interested . Meanwhile Paris went to great pains to woo Russia and Great Britain . Key markers were the Franco - Russian Alliance of 1894 , the 1904 Entente Cordiale linking France and Great Britain , and finally the Anglo - Russian Entente in 1907 which became the Triple Entente . France thus had a formal alliance with Russia , and an informal alignment with Britain , against Germany and Austria . By 1903 good relations had been established with the United States and Japan . Britain abandoned the policy of holding aloof from the continental powers , so called `` Splendid Isolation '' , in the 1900s after being isolated during the Boer War . Britain concluded agreements , limited to colonial affairs , with her two major colonial rivals : the Entente Cordiale with France in 1904 and the Anglo - Russian Entente of 1907 . Britain 's alignment a reaction to an assertive German foreign policy and the buildup of its navy from 1898 which led to the Anglo - German naval arms race . British diplomat Arthur Nicolson argued it was `` far more disadvantageous to us to have an unfriendly France and Russia than an unfriendly Germany '' . The impact of the Triple Entente was to improve British relations with France and its ally Russia and to demote the importance to Britain of good relations with Germany . After 1905 , foreign policy was tightly controlled by The Liberal foreign minister Edward Grey ( 1862 - 1933 ) , who seldom consulted with his party leadership . Grey shared the strong Liberal policy against all wars and against military alliances that would force Britain to take a side in war . However , in the case of the Boer War , Grey held that the Boers had committed an aggression that it was necessary to repulse . The Liberal party split on the issue , with a large faction strongly opposed to the war in Africa The Triple Entente between Britain , France and Russia is often compared to the Triple Alliance between Germany , Austria -- Hungary and Italy , but historians caution against the comparison . The Entente , in contrast to the Triple Alliance or the Franco - Russian Alliance , was not an alliance of mutual defence and Britain therefore felt free to make her own foreign policy decisions in 1914 . The Liberals were highly moralistic , and by 1914 they have been increasingly convinced that German aggression violated international norms , and specifically that its invasion of neutral Belgium was completely unacceptable in terms of morality , Britain and Germany 's obligations under the Treaty of London , and in terms of British policy against any one power controlling the continent of Europe . Until the last few weeks before it started in August 1914 , almost no one saw a world war coming . The expectation among the generals was that because of industrial advances any future war would produce a quick victory for the side that was better - prepared , better armed , and faster to move . No one saw that the innovations of recent decades -- high explosives , long - range artillery and machine guns -- were defensive weapons that practically guaranteed defeat of massed infantry attacks with very high casualties . Naval race with Germany ( edit ) Main article : Anglo - German naval arms race The British Dreadnought ( 1906 ) made all battleships obsolete because it had ten long - range 12 - inch big guns , mechanical computer - like range finders , high speed turbine engines that could make 21 knots , and armour plates 11 inches thick . After 1805 the dominance of Britain 's Royal Navy was unchallenged ; in the 1890s Germany decided to match it . Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz ( 1849 -- 1930 ) dominated German naval policy from 1897 until 1916 . Before the Germany Empire formed in 1871 , Prussia never had a real navy , nor did the other German states . Tirpitz turned the modest little fleet into a world - class force that could threaten the British Royal Navy . The British responded with new technology typified by the Dreadnought revolution . It made every battleship obsolete and , supplemented by the global network of coaling stations and telegraph cables , enabled Britain to stay well in the lead in naval affairs . Apart from a determination to retain a strong naval advantage , the British lacked a military strategy or plans for a major war . Economy ( edit ) The Edwardian era stands out as a time of peace and prosperity . There were no severe depressions , and prosperity was widespread . Britain 's growth rate , manufacturing output and GDP ( but not GDP per capita ) fell behind its rivals , the United States and Germany , but the nation still led the world in trade , finance and shipping , and had strong bases in manufacturing and mining . The industrial sector was slow to adjust to global changes , and there was a striking preference for leisure over entrepreneurship among the elite . However , major achievements should be underlined . London was the financial centre of the world -- far more efficient and wide - ranging than New York , Paris or Berlin . Britain had built up a vast reserve of overseas credits in its formal Empire , as well as in its informal empire in Latin America and other nations . It had huge financial holdings in the United States , especially in railways . These assets proved vital in paying for supplies in the first years of the World War . The amenities , especially in urban life , were accumulating -- prosperity was highly visible . The working classes were beginning to protest politically for a greater voice in government , but the level of industrial unrest on economic issues was not high until about 1908 . Social change and improved health ( edit ) By the late - 1880s , the Industrial Revolution had created new technologies that changed the way people lived . The growth of industry shifts in manufacturing factories , special - purpose machinery and technological innovations , which led to increased productivity . Gender roles shifted as women made use of the new technology to upgrade their lifestyle and their career opportunities . Mortality declined steadily in urban England and Wales 1870 -- 1917 . Robert Millward and Frances N. Bell looked statistically at those factors in the physical environment ( especially population density and overcrowding ) that raised death rates directly , as well as indirect factors such as price and income movements that affected expenditures on sewers , water supplies , food , and medical staff . The statistical data show that increases in the incomes of households and increases in town tax revenues helped cause the decline of mortality . The new money permitted higher spending on food , and also on a wide range of health - enhancing goods and services such as medical care . The major improvement in the physical environment was the quality of the housing stock , which rose faster than the population ; its quality was increasingly regulated by central and local government . Infant mortality fell faster in England and Wales than in Scotland . Clive Lee argues that one factor was the continued overcrowding in Scotland 's housing . During the First World War , infant mortality fell sharply across the country . J.M. Winter attributes this to the full employment and higher wages paid to war workers . Rising status of women ( edit ) For housewives , sewing machines enabled the production of ready made clothing and made it easier for women to sew their own clothes ; more generally , argues Barbara Burman , `` home dressmaking was sustained as an important aid for women negotiating wider social shifts and tensions in their lives . '' Increased literacy in the middle - class gave women wider access to information and ideas . Numerous new magazines appealed to her tastes and help define femininity . The inventions of the typewriter , telephone , and new filing systems offered middle - class women increased employment opportunities . So too did the rapid expansion of the school system , and the emergence of the new profession of nursing . Education and status led to demands for female roles in the rapidly expanding world of sports . Women were very active in church affairs , including attendance at services , Sunday school teaching , fund raising , pastoral care , social work and support for international missionary activities . They quietly submitted to their almost complete exclusion from practically all leadership roles . Women 's suffrage ( edit ) Main article : Women 's suffrage in the United Kingdom As middle - class women rose in status they increasingly supported demands for a political voice . There was significant support for woman suffrage in all the parties , but the Liberal Party was in control after 1906 and a handful of its leaders , especially H.H. Asquith , blocked it . There were numerous organisations which did their work quietly . After 1897 they were increasingly linked together by the National Union of Women 's Suffrage Societies ( NUWSS ) led by Millicent Fawcett . However front page publicity was seized by the Women 's Social and Political Union ( WSPU ) . Founded in 1903 , it was tightly controlled by the three Pankhursts , Emmeline Pankhurst ( 1858 -- 1928 ) , and her daughters Christabel Pankhurst ( 1880 -- 1958 ) and Sylvia Pankhurst ( 1882 -- 1960 ) . It specialized in highly visible publicity campaigns such as large parades . This had the effect of energizing all dimensions of the suffrage movement . While there was a majority of support for suffrage in parliament , the ruling Liberal Party refused to allow a vote on the issue ; the result of which was an escalation in the suffragette campaign . The WSPU , in dramatic contrast to its allies , embarked on a campaign of violence to publicize the issue , even to the detriment of its own aims . Birth control ( edit ) Although abortion was illegal , it was nevertheless the most widespread form of birth control in use . Used predominantly by working - class women , the procedure was used not only as a means of terminating pregnancy , but also to prevent poverty and unemployment . Those who transported contraceptives could be legally punished . Contraceptives became more expensive over time and had a high failure rate . Unlike contraceptives , abortion did not need any prior planning and was less expensive . Newspaper advertisements were used to promote and sell abortifacients indirectly . Not all of society was accepting of contraceptives or abortion , and the opposition viewed both as part of one and the same sin . Abortion was much more common among the middle - classes than among those living in rural areas , where the procedure was not readily available . Women were often tricked into purchasing ineffective pills . In addition to fearing legal reprimands , many physicians did not condone abortion because they viewed it as an immoral procedure potentially endangering a woman 's life . Because abortion was illegal and physicians refused to perform the procedure , local women acted as abortionists , often using crochet hooks or similar instruments . Feminists of the era focused on educating and finding jobs for women , leaving aside the controversial issues of contraceptives and abortion , which in popular opinion were often related to promiscuity and prostitution . The Church condemned abortion as immoral and a form of rebellion against the child - bearing role women were expected to assume . Many considered abortion to be a selfish act that allowed a woman to avoid personal responsibility , contributing to a decline in moral values . Abortion was often a solution for women who already had children and did not want more . Consequently , the size of families decreased drastically . Poverty among working - class women ( edit ) The 1834 Poor Law defined who could receive monetary relief . The act reflected and perpetuated prevailing gender conditions . In Edwardian society , men were the source of wealth . The law restricted relief for unemployed , able - bodied male workers , due to the prevailing view that they would find work in the absence of financial assistance . However , women were treated differently . After the Poor Law was passed , women and children received most of the aid . The law did not recognise single independent women , and lumped women and children into the same category . If a man was physically disabled , his wife was also treated as disabled under the law . Unmarried mothers were sent to the workhouse , receiving unfair social treatment such as being restricted from attending church on Sundays . During marriage disputes women often lost the rights to their children , even if their husbands were abusive . At the time , single mothers were the poorest sector in society , disadvantaged for at least four reasons . First , women had longer lifespans , often leaving them widowed with children . Second , women 's work opportunities were few , and when they did find work , their wages were lower than male workers ' wages . Thirdly , women were often less likely to marry or remarry after being widowed , leaving them as the main providers for the remaining family members . Finally , poor women had deficient diets , because their husbands and children received disproportionately large shares of food . Many women were malnourished and had limited access to health care . Female servants ( edit ) Edwardian Britain had large numbers of male and female domestic servants , in both urban and rural areas . Middle and upper - class women relied on servants to run their homes smoothly . Servants were provided with food , clothing , housing , and a small wage , and lived in a self - enclosed social system inside the mansion . The number of domestic servants fell in the Edwardian era due to a declining number of young people willing to be employed in this area . Fashion ( edit ) Main article : 1900s in fashion cartoon in Punch ( 1911 ) compares changes in fashion between 1901 and 1911 . `` The dowdy voluminous clothes of the earlier date , making the grandmother an old lady and the mother seem plain , had been replaced by much simpler looser wear producing a sense of release for all three females . '' The upper - classes embraced leisure sports , which resulted in rapid developments in fashion , as more mobile and flexible clothing styles were needed . During the Edwardian era , women wore a very tight corset , or bodice , and dressed in long skirts . The Edwardian era was the last time women wore corsets in everyday life . According to Arthur Marwick , the most striking change of all the developments that occurred during the Great War was the modification in women 's dress , `` for , however far politicians were to put the clocks back in other steeples in the years after the war , no one ever put the lost inches back on the hems of women 's skirts '' . The Edwardians developed new styles in clothing design . While the Victorian Era is associated with large , ankle - length , heavy , dark velvet gowns and bustles for the classes that could afford them , the Edwardian era favored more tightly fitting skirts and dresses made of lightweight fabrics designed for a more active lifestyle . The 2 pieces dress came into vogue . Skirts hung tight at the hips and flared at the hem , creating a trumpet of lily - like shape . Skirts in 1901 had decorated hems with ruffles of fabric and lace . Some dresses and skirts featured trains . Tailored jackets , first introduced in 1880 , increased in popularity and by 1900 , tailored suits became popular . By 1904 , skirts became fuller and less clingy . In 1905 , skirts fell in soft folds that curved in , then flared out near the hemlines . From 1905 -- 1907 , waistlines rose . In 1901 , the hobble skirt was introduced ; a tight fitting skirt that restricted a woman 's stride . Lingerie dresses , or tea gowns made of soft fabrics , festooned with ruffles and lace were worn indoors . Around 1913 women 's dresses acquired a lower and sometimes V - shaped neckline in opposition to the high collars a generation before . This was considered a scandal and caused an outrage among the clergy throughout Europe . Newspapers ( edit ) The turn of the century saw the rise of popular journalism aimed at the lower middle class and tending to deemphasise highly detailed political and international news , which remain the focus of a handful of low - circulation prestige newspapers . They were family - owned and operated , and were primarily interested not in profits but in influence on the nation 's elite by their control of the news and editorials on serious topics . The new press they reached vastly larger audiences by emphasis on sports , crime , sensationalism , and gossip about famous personalities . Detailed accounts of major speeches and complex international events were not printed . Alfred Harmsworth , 1st Viscount Northcliffe was the chief innovator. . He used his Daily Mail and Daily Mirror to transform the media along the American model of `` Yellow Journalism '' . Lord Beaverbrook said he was `` the greatest figure who ever strode down Fleet Street '' . Harmsworth made a great deal of money , but during the First World War he also wanted political power . For that he purchased the highest prestige newspaper , The Times . P.P. Catterall and Colin Seymour - Ure conclude that : More than anyone ( he ) ... shaped the modern press . Developments he introduced or harnessed remain central : broad contents , exploitation of advertising revenue to subsidize prices , aggressive marketing , subordinate regional markets , independence from party control . The arts ( edit ) Peter Pan statue , Kensington Gardens The Edwardian era corresponds to the French Belle Époque . Despite its brief pre-eminence , the period is characterised by its own unique architectural style , fashion , and lifestyle . Art Nouveau had a particularly strong influence . Artists were influenced by the development of the automobile and electricity , and a greater awareness of human rights . In November 1910 , Roger Fry organised the exhibition Manet and the Post-Impressionists at the Grafton Galleries , London . This exhibition was the first to prominently feature Gauguin , Manet , Matisse , and Van Gogh in England and brought their art to the public . He followed it up with the Second Post-Impressionist Exhibition in 1912 . George Frampton 's statue of Peter Pan , `` erected in Hyde Park in 1912 ... immediately became a source of contention , sparking debate about the role of public statuary and its role in spaces of recreation . '' Literature ( edit ) In fiction , some of the best - known names are J.M. Barrie , Arnold Bennett , G.K. Chesterton , Joseph Conrad , E.M. Forster , John Galsworthy , Kenneth Grahame , M.R. James , Rudyard Kipling , James Joyce , D.H. Lawrence , Edith Nesbit , Beatrix Potter , Saki , George Bernard Shaw , H.G. Wells , and P.G. Wodehouse . Apart from these famous writers , this was a period when a great number of novels and short stories were being published , and a significant distinction between `` highbrow '' literature and popular fiction emerged . Among the most famous works of literary criticism was A.C. Bradley 's Shakespearean Tragedy ( 1904 ) . Music ( edit ) Live performances , both amateur and professional , were popular . Henry Wood , Edward Elgar , Gustav Holst , Arnold Bax , George Butterworth , Ralph Vaughan Williams , and Thomas Beecham were all active . Military and brass bands often played outside in parks during the summer . The new technology of wax cylinders played on phonographs , made live performances permanently available for repetition at any time . Performing arts ( edit ) Cinema was primitive and audiences preferred live performances to picture shows . Music hall was very popular and widespread ; influential performers included male impersonator Vesta Tilley and comic Little Tich . The most successful playwright of the era was W. Somerset Maugham . In 1908 , he had four plays running simultaneously in London , and Punch published a cartoon of Shakespeare biting his fingernails nervously as he looked at the billboards . Maugham 's plays , like his novels , usually had a conventional plot structure , but the decade also saw the rise of the so - called New Drama , represented in plays by George Bernard Shaw , Harley Granville Barker , and Continental imports by Henrik Ibsen and Gerhardt Hauptmann . The actor / manager system , as managed by Sir Henry Irving , Sir George Alexander , and Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree , was in decline . Architecture ( edit ) See also : Edwardian architecture Notable architects included Edwin Lutyens , Charles Rennie Mackintosh , and Giles Gilbert Scott . In spite of the popularity of Art Nouveau in Europe , the Edwardian Baroque style of architecture was widely favoured for public structures and was a revival of Christopher Wren -- inspired designs of the late 17th and early 18th centuries . The change or reversal in taste from the Victorian eclectic styles corresponded with the historical revivals of the period , most prominently earlier Georgian and Neoclassical styles of the late 18th and early 19th centuries . White City Stadium for the 1908 Summer Olympics was the first Olympic Stadium in the UK . Built on the site of the Franco - British Exhibition , it had a seating capacity of 68,000 was opened by King Edward VII on 27 April 1908 . It was the largest structure of its type in the world , and was designed to be awesome and enhance the love of large - scale spectacle that characterised Edwardian London . Film ( edit ) Filmmakers Mitchell and Kenyon documented many scenes from Britain and Ireland from 1900 -- 1907 , sports , parades , factory exits , parks , city streets , boating and the like . Their films have fortunately survived in very good quality restored from the original negatives . Science and technology ( edit ) The period featured many innovations . Ernest Rutherford published his studies on radioactivity . The first transatlantic wireless signals were sent by Guglielmo Marconi , and the Wright brothers flew for the first time . By the end of the era , Louis Blériot had crossed the English Channel by air ; the largest ship in the world , RMS Olympic , had sailed on its maiden voyage and her larger sister RMS Titanic was under construction ; automobiles were common ; and the South Pole was reached for the first time by Roald Amundsen 's and then Robert Falcon Scott 's teams . Sport ( edit ) 1908 Summer Olympics in London : The water jump in the steeplechase The 1908 Summer Olympic Games were held in London . Popularity of sports tended to conform to class divisions , with tennis and yachting popular among the very wealthy and football favoured by the working class . Football ( edit ) Aston Villa maintained their position as the pre-eminent football team of the era , winning the FA Cup for the fourth time in 1904 -- 05 and their sixth League title in 1909 -- 10 . The club colours of claret and sky blue were adopted by Burnley as a tribute to their success in 1910 . Sunderland achieved their fourth league title in 1901 -- 02 . The era also saw Liverpool ( 1900 -- 01 , 1905 -- 06 ) , Newcastle United ( 1904 -- 05 , 1906 -- 07 , 1908 -- 09 ) and Manchester United ( 1907 -- 08 ) winning their first league titles .

when did the edwardian era start and end

The Edwardian era or Edwardian period of British history covers the brief reign of King Edward VII , 1901 to 1910 , and is sometimes extended in both directions to capture long - term trends from the 1890s to the First World War . The death of Queen Victoria in January 1901 marked the end of the Victorian era . The new king Edward VII was already the leader of a fashionable elite that set a style influenced by the art and fashions of continental Europe . Samuel Hynes described the Edwardian era as a `` leisurely time when women wore picture hats and did not vote , when the rich were not ashamed to live conspicuously , and the sun really never set on the British flag ' '' . The Liberals returned to power in 1906 and made significant reforms . Below the upper class , the era was marked by significant shifts in politics among sections of society that were largely excluded from wielding power in the past , such as common labourers . Women became increasingly politicised .

Copperhead ( Politics ) - wikipedia Copperhead ( Politics ) Copperhead Democrats Historical leaders Clement Vallandigham Alexander Long Founded 1860 ( 1860 ) Dissolved 1868 ( 1868 ) Ideology Anti-abolitionism Anti-Civil War Jacksonianism Traditionalism National affiliation Democratic Party Politics of United States Political parties Elections In the 1860s , the Copperheads were a vocal faction of Democrats in the Northern United States of the Union who opposed the American Civil War and wanted an immediate peace settlement with the Confederates . Republicans started calling anti-war Democrats `` Copperheads '' , likening them to the venomous snake . Those Democrats accepted the label , reinterpreting the copper `` head '' as the likeness of Liberty , which they cut from Liberty Head large cent coins and proudly wore as badges . By contrast , Democratic supporters of the war were called War Democrats . The Copperheads represented the more extreme wing of the Northern Democrats . Notable Copperheads included two Democratic Congressmen from Ohio : Clement L. Vallandigham and Alexander Long . Republican prosecutors accused some prominent Copperheads of treason in a series of trials in 1864 . Copperheadism was a highly contentious grass - roots movement . It had its strongest base in the area just north of the Ohio River as well as in some urban ethnic wards . Some historians have argued that it represented a traditionalistic element alarmed at the rapid modernization of society sponsored by the Republican Party and that it looked back to Jacksonian democracy for inspiration . Weber ( 2006 ) argues that the Copperheads damaged the Union war effort by opposing conscription ( the `` draft '' ) , encouraging desertion and forming conspiracies , but other historians say that the draft was already in disrepute and that the Republicans greatly exaggerated the conspiracies for partisan reasons . Historians such as Wood Gray and Jennifer Weber argue that the Copperheads were inflexibly rooted in the past and were naive about the refusal of the Confederates to return to the Union . Convinced that the Republicans were ruining the traditional world they loved , they were obstructionist partisans . In turn , the Copperheads became a major target of the National Union Party in the 1864 presidential election , where they were used to discredit the main Democratic candidates . Copperhead support increased when Union armies did poorly and decreased when they won great victories . After the fall of Atlanta in September 1864 , Union military success seemed assured and Copperheadism collapsed . Contents ( hide ) 1 Agenda 2 Newspapers 3 Copperhead resistance 4 Characteristics 5 Historiography 6 Notable Peace Democrats 7 See also 8 Notes 9 Further reading 10 External links Agenda ( edit ) Copperhead pamphlet from 1864 by Charles Chauncey Burr , a magazine editor from New York City During the American Civil War ( 1861 -- 1865 ) , the Copperheads nominally favored the Union and strongly opposed the war , for which they blamed abolitionists and they demanded immediate peace and resisted draft laws . They wanted President Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans ousted from power , seeing the President as a tyrant destroying American republican values with despotic and arbitrary actions . Some Copperheads tried to persuade Union soldiers to desert . They talked of helping Confederate prisoners of war seize their camps and escape . They sometimes met with Confederate agents and took money . The Confederacy encouraged their activities whenever possible . Newspapers ( edit ) The Copperheads had numerous important newspapers , but the editors never formed an alliance . In Chicago , Wilbur F. Storey made the Chicago Times into Lincoln 's most vituperative enemy . The New York Journal of Commerce , originally abolitionist , was sold to owners who became Copperheads , giving them an important voice in the largest city . A typical editor was Edward G. Roddy , owner of the Uniontown , Pennsylvania Genius of Liberty . He was an intensely partisan Democrat who saw African Americans as an inferior race and Lincoln as a despot and dunce . Although he supported the war effort in 1861 , he blamed abolitionists for prolonging the war and denounced the government as increasingly despotic . By 1864 , he was calling for peace at any price . John Mullaly 's Metropolitan Record was the official Catholic newspaper in New York City . Reflecting Irish American opinion , it supported the war until 1863 before becoming a Copperhead organ . In the spring and summer of 1863 , the paper urged its Irish working - class readers to pursue armed resistance to the draft passed by Congress earlier in the year . When the draft began in the city , working class European Americans , largely Irish , responded with violent riots from July 13 to 16 , lynching , beating and hacking to death more than 100 black New Yorkers and burning down black - owned businesses and institutions , including an orphanage for 233 black children . On August 19 , 1864 , John Mullaly was arrested for inciting resistance to the draft . Even in an era of extremely partisan journalism , Copperhead newspapers were remarkable for their angry rhetoric . Wisconsin newspaper editor Marcus M. Pomeroy of the La Crosse Democrat referred to Lincoln as `` Fungus from the corrupt womb of bigotry and fanaticism '' and a `` worse tyrant and more inhuman butcher than has existed since the days of Nero ( ... ) The man who votes for Lincoln now is a traitor and murderer ( ... ) And if he is elected to misgovern for another four years , we trust some bold hand will pierce his heart with dagger point for the public good '' . Copperhead resistance ( edit ) Clement Vallandigham , leader of the Copperheads , coined the slogan : `` To maintain the Constitution as it is , and to restore the Union as it was '' The Copperheads sometimes talked of violent resistance and in some cases started to organize . However , they never actually made an organized attack . As war opponents , Copperheads were suspected of disloyalty and their leaders were sometimes arrested and held for months in military prisons without trial . One famous example was General Ambrose Burnside 's 1863 General Order Number 38 , issued in Ohio , which made it an offence ( to be tried in military court ) to criticize the war in any way . The order was used to arrest Ohio congressman Clement L. Vallandigham when he criticized the order itself . However , Lincoln commuted his sentence while requiring his exile to the Confederacy . Probably the largest Copperhead group was the Knights of the Golden Circle . Formed in Ohio in the 1850s , it became politicized in 1861 . It reorganized as the Order of American Knights in 1863 and again in early 1864 as the Order of the Sons of Liberty , with Vallandigham as its commander . One leader , Harrison H. Dodd , advocated violent overthrow of the governments of Indiana , Illinois , Kentucky and Missouri in 1864 . Democratic Party leaders and a Federal investigation , thwarted his conspiracy . In spite of this Copperhead setback , tensions remained high . The Charleston Riot took place in Illinois in March 1864 . Indiana Republicans then used the sensational revelation of an antiwar Copperhead conspiracy by elements of the Sons of Liberty to discredit Democrats in the 1864 House elections . The military trial of Lambdin P. Milligan and other Sons of Liberty revealed plans to set free the Confederate prisoners held in the state . The culprits were sentenced to hang , but the Supreme Court intervened in ex parte Milligan , saying they should have received civilian trials . Most Copperheads actively participated in politics . On May 1 , 1863 , former Congressman Vallandigham declared the war was being fought not to save the Union , but to free the blacks and enslave Southern whites . The army then arrested him for declaring sympathy for the enemy . He was court - martialed by the Army and sentenced to imprisonment , but Lincoln commuted the sentence to banishment behind Confederate lines . The Democrats nevertheless nominated him for governor of Ohio in 1863 . He campaigned from Canada , but lost after an intense battle . He operated behind the scenes at the 1864 Democratic convention in Chicago . This convention adopted a largely Copperhead platform and selected Ohio Representative George Pendleton ( a known Peace Democrat ) as the vice presidential candidate . However , it chose a pro-war presidential candidate , General George B. McClellan . The contradiction severely weakened the party 's chances to defeat Lincoln . Characteristics ( edit ) The values of the Copperheads reflected the Jacksonian democracy of an earlier agrarian society . The Copperhead movement attracted Southerners who had settled north of the Ohio River , the poor and merchants who had lost profitable Southern trade . They were most numerous in border areas , including southern parts of Ohio , Illinois and Indiana ( in Missouri , comparable groups were avowed Confederates ) . The movement has scattered bases of support outside the lower Midwest . There was a Copperhead element in Connecticut that dominated the Democratic Party there . The Copperhead coalition included many Irish American Catholics in eastern cities , mill towns and mining camps ( especially in the Pennsylvania coal fields ) . They were also numerous in German Catholic areas of the Midwest , especially Wisconsin Historian Kenneth Stampp has captured the Copperhead spirit in his depiction of Congressman Daniel W. Voorhees of Indiana : There was an earthy quality in Voorhees , `` the tall sycamore of the Wabash . '' On the stump his hot temper , passionate partisanship , and stirring eloquence made an irresistible appeal to the western Democracy ( i.e. the Democratic Party ) . His bitter cries against protective tariffs and national banks , his intense race prejudice , his suspicion of the eastern Yankee , his devotion to personal liberty , his defense of the Constitution and State 's rights faithfully reflected the views of his constituents . Like other Jacksonian agrarians , he resented the political and economic revolution then in progress . Voorhees idealized a way of life which he thought was being destroyed by the current rulers of his country . His bold protests against these dangerous trends made him the idol of the Democracy of the Wabash Valley . Historiography ( edit ) Two central questions have run through the historiography of the Copperheads , i.e. `` How serious a threat did they pose to the Union war effort and hence to the nation 's survival ? '' and `` to what extent and with what justification did the Lincoln administration and other Republican officials violate civil liberties to contain the perceived menace ? '' . The first book - length scholarly treatment of the Copperheads appeared in 1942 . In The Hidden Civil War , Wood Gray decried the `` defeatism '' of the Copperheads . He argued they deliberately served the Confederacy 's war aims . Also in 1942 , George Fort Milton published Abraham Lincoln and the Fifth Column , which likewise condemned the traitorous Copperheads and praised Lincoln as a model defender of democracy . Gilbert R. Tredway , a professor of history , in his 1973 study Democratic Opposition to the Lincoln Administration in Indiana found most Indiana Democrats were loyal to the Union and desired national reunification . He documented Democratic counties in Indiana having outperformed Republican counties in the recruitment of soldiers . Tredway found that Copperhead sentiment was uncommon among the rank - and - file Democrats in Indiana . The chief historians who favored the Copperheads are Richard O. Curry and Frank L. Klement . Klement devoted most of his career to debunking the idea that the Copperheads represented a danger to the Union . Klement and Curry have downplayed the treasonable activities of the Copperheads , arguing the Copperheads were traditionalists who fiercely resisted modernization and wanted to return to the old ways . Klement argued in the 1950s that the Copperheads ' activities , especially their supposed participation in treasonous anti-Union secret societies , were mostly false inventions by Republican propaganda machines designed to discredit the Democrats at election time . Curry sees Copperheads as poor traditionalists battling against the railroads , banks and modernization . In his standard history Battle Cry of Freedom ( 1988 ) , James M. McPherson asserted Klement had taken `` revision a bit too far . There was some real fire under that smokescreen of Republican propaganda '' . Jennifer Weber 's Copperheads ( 2006 ) agrees more with Gray and Milton than with Klement . She argues that first . Northern antiwar sentiment was strong , so strong that Peace Democrats came close to seizing control of their party in mid-1864 . Second , she shows the peace sentiment led to deep divisions and occasional violence across the North . Third , Weber concluded that the peace movement deliberately weakened the Union military effort by undermining both enlistment and the operation of the draft . Indeed , Lincoln had to divert combat troops to retake control of New York City from the anti-draft rioters in 1863 . Fourth , Weber shows how the attitudes of Union soldiers affected partisan battles back home . The soldiers ' rejection of Copperheadism and their overwhelming support for Lincoln 's reelection in 1864 was decisive in securing the Northern victory and the preservation of the Union . The Copperheads ' appeal , she argues , waxed and waned with Union failures and successes in the field . Notable Peace Democrats ( edit ) Jesse D.

Rudolph is usually depicted as the lead reindeer pulling Santa 's sleigh on Christmas Eve , though he is a young buck who has only adolescent antlers and a glowing red nose . Though he receives scrutiny for it , the luminosity of his nose is so great that it illuminates the team 's path through harsh winter weather . Rudolph first appeared in a 1939 booklet written by Robert L. May and published by Montgomery Ward , the department store . The story is owned by The Rudolph Company , LP and has been adapted in numerous forms including a popular song , the iconic 1964 television special and sequels , and a feature film and sequel . Character Arts , LLC manages the licensing for the Rudolph Company , LP . In many countries , Rudolph has become a figure of Christmas folklore . 2014 marked the 75th anniversary of the character and the 50th anniversary of the television special .

May created Rudolph in 1939 as an assignment for Chicago - based Montgomery Ward . The retailer had been buying and giving away coloring books for Christmas every year and it was decided that creating their own book would save money . May considered naming the reindeer `` Rollo '' or `` Reginald '' before deciding upon using the name `` Rudolph . '' In its first year of publication , Montgomery Ward distributed 2.4 million copies of Rudolph 's story . The story is written as a poem in anapestic tetrameter , the same meter as `` A Visit from St. Nicholas '' ( also known as `` ' Twas the Night Before Christmas '' ) . Publication and reprint rights for the book Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer are controlled by Pearson PLC . While May was pondering how best to craft a Christmas story about a reindeer , while staring out his office window in downtown Chicago , a thick fog from Lake Michigan blocked his view -- giving him a flash of inspiration . `` Suddenly I had it ! '' he recalled . `` A nose ! A bright red nose that would shine through fog like a spotlight . '' The cultural significance of a red nose has changed since the story 's publication . In 1930 's popular culture , a bright red nose was closely associated with chronic alcoholism and drunkards , so the story idea was initially rejected . May asked his illustrator friend at Montgomery Ward , Denver Gillen , to draw `` cute reindeer '' , using zoo deer as models . The alert , bouncy character Gillen developed convinced management to support the idea . Maxton Books published the first mass - market edition of Rudolph in 1947 and a sequel , Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer Shines Again , in 1954 . In 1992 , Applewood Books published Rudolph 's Second Christmas , an unpublished sequel that Robert May wrote in 1947 . In 2003 , Penguin Books issued a reprint version of the original Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer with new artwork by Lisa Papp . Penguin also reprinted May 's sequels , Rudolph Shines Again and Rudolph 's Second Christmas ( now retitled Rudolph to the Rescue ) . The story ( edit ) The story chronicles the experiences of Rudolph , a youthful reindeer buck ( male ) who possesses an unusual luminous red nose . Mocked and excluded by his peers because of this trait , Rudolph proves himself one Christmas Eve with poor visibility due to inclement weather after Santa Claus catches sight of Rudolph 's nose and asks Rudolph to lead his sleigh for the evening . Rudolph agrees and is finally favored by his fellow reindeer for his heroism and accomplishment . In media ( edit ) Theatrical cartoon short ( 1948 ) ( edit ) Main article : Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer ( 1948 film ) Rudolph made his first screen appearance in 1948 , in a cartoon short produced by Max Fleischer for the Jam Handy Corporation that was more faithful to May 's original story than Marks ' song , which had not yet been written . It was reissued in 1951 with the song added . Song ( 1949 ) ( edit ) Main article : Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer ( song ) May 's brother - in - law , Johnny Marks , adapted the story of Rudolph into a song . Gene Autry 's recording of the song hit No. 1 on the Billboard pop singles chart the week of Christmas 1949 . Autry 's recording sold 2.5 million copies the first year , eventually selling a total of 25 million , and it remained the second best - selling record of all time until the 1980s . Comic books ( beginning in 1950 ) ( edit ) DC Comics , then known as National Periodical Publications , published a series of 13 annuals titled Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer from 1950 to 1962 . Rube Grossman drew most of the 1950s stories . In 1972 , DC Comics published a 14th edition in an extra-large format . Subsequently , they published six more in that format : Limited Collectors ' Edition C - 24 , C - 33 , C - 42 , C - 50 and All - New Collectors ' Edition C - 53 , C - 60 . Additionally , one digest format edition was published as The Best of DC # 4 ( March -- April 1980 ) . The 1970s Rudolph stories were written and drawn by Sheldon Mayer . Children 's book ( 1958 ) ( edit ) In 1958 , Little Golden Books published an illustrated storybook , adapted by Barbara Shook Hazen and illustrated by Richard Scarry . The book , similar in story to the Max Fleischer cartoon short , is no longer in print , but a revised Little Golden Books version of the storybook was reissued in 1972 . Stop - motion animation television special ( 1964 ) and sequels ( 1976 -- 79 ) ( edit ) Main article : Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer ( TV special ) Young Rudolph ( right ) and Hermey the Elf as seen in the 1964 TV special . Perhaps the most well - known version of all the Rudolph adaptations is the Rankin / Bass Productions version of 1964 . Filmed in Japan , with all sound recordings done in Toronto , Canada , the show premièred on NBC . As the producers of the special only had the song as source material and did not have a copy of the original book , they interpolated an original story around the central narrative of the song , one that differed from the book . This re-telling chronicles Rudolph 's social rejection among his peers and his decision to run away from home . Rudolph is accompanied by a similarly outcast elf named Hermey , who skipped elf practice to become a dentist , along with a loud , boisterous , eager prospector named Yukon Cornelius who was in search of wealth . Additional original characters include Rudolph 's love interest , Clarice ; the antagonistic `` Abominable Snow Monster '' ; and , as narrator , the living Sam the Snowman , voiced by Burl Ives . In the 1964 stop - motion movie , Rudolph is born to Donder the Reindeer and Donder 's wife . He is discovered by Santa to have a shiny , glowing red nose . Donder , regardless of Rudolph 's defect , trains him to be a normal reindeer with skills such as gathering food and hiding from the `` Abominable Snow Monster '' , a giant , furry white beast . To hide Rudolph 's nose , Donder puts dirt on it to cover it with a black coating . This causes Rudolph to talk in a funny accent , as told by the Rudolph 's peers . A short time later , Rudolph joins his peers at the Reindeer Games , where he meets Fireball , who is initially friendly and has a shock of strawberry blond hair on his head , and Clarice , a female spectator who takes a liking to Rudolph . Clarice 's flirtation inspires Rudolph to perform better than all of his peers at flying , but in his excitement he knocks the black cover off his nose , revealing a red glow that causes Fireball and the others to turn against him ; this distraction , in turn , prompts the coach ( Comet ) to ban Rudolph from the Reindeer Games . Clarice remains loyal to him , only to be ordered by her father not to shame the family by associating with `` a red - nosed reindeer . '' Rudolph soon runs into Hermey , an elf who was forced out of his job at the North Pole 's toy factory ; Hermey showed a total lack of interest in the toymaking and singing aspects of being an elf and instead wanted to pursue dentistry . They come to the conclusion that they 're both misfits and decide to run away together . On their aimless journey , they run into Yukon Cornelius , the self - described `` greatest prospector of the North '' who nevertheless seems to never find any silver or gold , and attempt to stay away from the Bumble , a huge abominable snow monster . Their journey leads them to the Island of Misfit Toys , where sentient but unorthodox toys go when they are abandoned by their owners . King Moonracer , the winged lion that lords over the Island , refuses to let them stay there permanently , instead telling the trio to return home and tell Santa Claus of the toys ' plight , in exchange for one night 's stay on the island . Rudolph refuses the offer and , fearing for his friends ' life , runs off alone . A now older Rudolph , still unable to find a place in the world , returns home to the North Pole , only to find that his family and Clarice had left to look for him and are now about to be eaten by the Bumble . With the help of Hermey and Yukon ( who arrived separately ) , they lure the Bumble away and pacify him by knocking him unconscious and allowing Hermey ( with dental skills he has acquired by reading books ) to remove his sharp teeth . Everyone eventually returns to Santa 's workshop , where a dismayed Santa Claus breaks the bad news that the weather is too bad to take the sleigh out and that Christmas would be canceled . Santa changes his mind when he notices Rudolph 's red nose and asks Rudolph to lead the sleigh team , which he happily accepts . After the story 's initial broadcast , its closing credits were revised . Images of wrapped presents being dropped from Santa 's sleigh were replaced by a scene in which Santa stops to pick up the Misfit Toys and delivers them to the homes of children below , where they were found by children who loved them . The changes were prompted by viewer feedback pleading for a happy ending for each toy . The special now airs annually on CBS , rather than NBC , and is hailed as a classic by many . The special 's original assortment of characters have acquired iconic status , and an uncertainty surrounding an error in the special 's copyright has allowed the special to be widely parodied and imitated in the decades since its original airing . The sequel Rudolph 's Shiny New Year ( premier air date December 10 , 1976 ) continued the reindeer 's journeys , and the series was made into a trilogy with the 1979 feature - length film Christmas in July , which integrated the Rudolph universe into that of Rankin / Bass 's adaptation of Frosty the Snowman . Animated feature - length films ( edit ) Main article : Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer : The Movie Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer : The Movie ( 1998 ) is an animated feature film . It received only a limited theatrical release before debuting on home video . Its inclusion of a villain , a love interest , a sidekick , and a strong protector are more derivative of the Rankin / Bass adaptation of the story than the original tale and song ( the characters of Stormella , Zoey , Arrow , Slyly , and Leonard parallel the Rankin / Bass characters of the Bumble , Clarice , Fireball , Hermey , and Yukon , respectively ) . The movie amplifies the early backstory of Rudolph 's harassment by his schoolmates ( primarily his cousin Arrow ) during his formative years . Main article : Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys GoodTimes Entertainment , the producers of Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer : The Movie , brought back most of the same production team for a CGI animated sequel , Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys ( 2001 ) . Unlike the previous film , the sequel featured the original characters from the Rankin / Bass special ( as GoodTimes soon learned that Rankin / Bass had made a copyright error that made the characters unique to their special free to use ) . Role Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer : The Movie ( 1998 ) Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer : The Island of Misfit Toys ( 2001 ) Director William R. Kowalchuk Producer Writer Michael Aschner Composer Al Kasha and Michael Lloyd Bruce Roberts and Diana B Editor Tom Hok Lennie Nelson Production Companies GoodTimes Entertainment Golden Books Family Entertainment Tundra Productions Distributor Legacy Releasing GoodTimes Entertainment Running Time 80 minutes 74 minutes Release Date October 6 , 1998 October 30 , 2001 Other ( edit ) A live - action version of Rudolph ( complete with glowing nose ) along with Donder and Blitzen appears in the Doctor Who Christmas special , `` Last Christmas '' which was broadcast on BBC One on 25 December 2014 . In this special , Santa is able to park him like a car and turn off his nose . Nathaniel Dominy , an anthropology professor at Dartmouth College ( Robert L. May 's alma mater ) , published a scholarly paper on Rudolph 's red nose in the open access online journal Frontiers for Young Minds in 2015 . In the paper , Dominy noted that reindeer eyes can perceive shorter wavelengths of light than humans , allowing them to see ultraviolet light ; ultraviolet light , however , is much more easily scattered in fog , which would blind reindeer . Thus , Rudolph 's red nose , emitting longer - wavelength red light , would penetrate the fog more easily . A summary of Dominy 's findings was released in an Associated Press article on December 22 . Homages in media ( edit ) This article appears to contain trivial , minor , or unrelated references to popular culture . Please reorganize this content to explain the subject 's impact on popular culture rather than simply listing appearances ; add references to reliable sources if possible . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( November 2017 ) Film ( edit ) In the film remake of Dr. Seuss ' How the Grinch Stole Christmas ( 2000 ) , The Grinch disguises his dog , Max , as Rudolph for his plan to disguise himself as Santa Claus and steal everything in each house in Whoville , to stop Christmas from coming . He also changes Rudolph 's story saying , he hates Christmas and is gon na steal it . He then yells `` Action ! '' through a megaphone . But Max takes off the fake red nose the Grinch had put on him . In the film Fred Claus ( 2007 ) , Rudolph is mentioned and briefly seen , although his red nose is not glowing . Fred ( Vince Vaughn ) is filling in for his injured brother Nick ( Paul Giamatti ) delivering the toys on Christmas Eve . While en route , he crashes the sleigh through a billboard advertisement for Pepsi Cola featuring Santa Claus and tells Rudolph to `` shake it off '' . There are quick edits of Fred flying through the night making his deliveries . Willie the elf says , `` Fred , I have a bad feeling about this '' , followed by a shot of the full moon . The sleigh zips by and turns to go head on into the camera . Here , you can see Rudolph leading the pack . In slow motion , you can clearly count nine reindeer . Games ( edit ) Rudolph is mentioned in the video game Army of Two ( 2008 ) during a tutorial video about the use of the game 's Aggro feature . In Guild Wars Nightfall ( 2006 ) , player characters are accompanied by a reindeer named Rudy whose nose begins to glow red when coming into range of presents that the player is tasked to find in a holiday themed quest . Music ( edit ) Rudolph is mentioned in the Beach Boys ' song `` Little Saint Nick '' ( 1963 ) in the following lyric : `` Now haulin ' through the snow at a frightening speed with a half a dozen deer with Rudy to lead . '' `` Run Rudolph Run '' ( 1958 ) is a Christmas song popularized by Chuck Berry and written by Johnny Marks and Marvin Brodie and published by St. Nicholas Music ( ASCAP ) . The song was released as a single on Chess Records ( label no . 1714 ) and has since been covered by numerous other artists , sometimes under the title `` Run , Run , Rudolph '' . The song is a 12 - bar blues and has a clear musical parallel to Chuck Berry 's popular and recognizable song , `` Johnny B. Goode '' ( 1958 ) ; it is also melodically identical to Berry 's `` Little Queenie '' ( 1959 ) . In Ray Stevens ' novelty song `` Santa Claus Is Watching You '' ( 1962 ) , Rudolph is replaced on Santa 's team by `` Clyde the Camel '' , a character from Steven 's earlier hit , `` Ahab the Arab '' . In the original version , aimed at children in a similar fashion to `` Santa Claus Is Coming to Town '' , Rudolph was said to be recuperating from an injury sustained during `` a twist contest '' ; a later version , warning a lover away from infidelity because Santa is watching , has Rudolph on a `` stakeout at ( the lover 's ) house '' . Television and webisodes ( edit ) In the Doctor Who promotional mini-webisode , `` Songtaran Carols '' ( 2012 ) , the Sontaran warrior - nurse - detective , Strax , stated : `` Rudolph the red - nosed reindeer , had a very shiny nose . It proved to be a tactical disadvantage , because it enabled me to punch him in the dark . '' Rudolph along with Donder and Blitzen appear in the Doctor Who Christmas special , Last Christmas . The anime and manga series One Piece has a main character called Tony Tony Chopper , a shapeshifter born on Christmas Eve , who was often discriminated against because of his blue nose . However his background and story is otherwise very different . MadTV featured Rudolph in a parody of the 1964 Rankin - Bass special called Raging Rudolph . Rudolph is beaten up for his red nose , and decides to get revenge on Santa Claus with Hermie the Elf by hiring Yukon Cornelius ( a hitman in the special ) to kill and decapitate Santa . Rudolph then takes over the North Pole . A sequel to the skit , The Reinfather , shows Rudolph exacting revenge for his hitman 's death in a nod to The Godfather . Relatives in different adaptations ( edit ) Main article : Santa Claus 's reindeer § Additional reindeer Parents ( edit ) Robert L. May 's original book does not name Rudolph 's parents . The animated specials produced by both Rankin / Bass and GoodTimes Entertainment have given Rudolph different sets of parents : In Rankin / Bass 's holiday special , he is Donder 's son , and his mother is a tan doe who is called Mrs. Donder . In GoodTimes ' retelling , Rudolph 's father is Blitzen , and his mother is named Mitzi . Offspring ( edit ) Three BBC animations carry on the legend by introducing Rudolph 's son , Robbie the Reindeer . However , Rudolph is never directly mentioned by name ( references are replaced by the first and second films ' villain Blitzen interrupting with the phrase , `` Do n't say that name ! '' , or something similar , presumably for copyright reasons . ) Siblings ( edit ) Rudolph is also given a younger brother , Rusty Reindeer , in the American special , Holidaze : The Christmas That Almost Did n't Happen ( 2006 ) . Unlike in the `` Robbie the Reindeer '' cartoons , Rudolph 's name is mentioned in the film . Michael Fry and T. Lewis have given Rudolph another brother in a series of Over the Hedge comic strips : an overweight , emotionally damaged reindeer named Ralph , the Infra - Red nosed Reindeer , who is referred to as Rudolph 's older brother . Ralph 's red nose is good for defrosting Santa 's sleigh and warming up toast and waffles ; he enviously complains about his brother Rudolph 's publicity and his own anonymity . Aunts , uncles , and cousins ( edit ) Rudolph has a cousin , Leroy , in Joe Diffie 's 1995 song , `` Leroy the Redneck Reindeer '' ( 1995 ) , which tells the story of Leroy 's joining the sleigh team to substitute for Rudolph , who was ill . In GoodTimes ' retelling , three of Santa 's reindeer ( Dasher , Comet , and Cupid ) are his uncles , and Cupid 's son Arrow is Rudolph 's cousin and rival .

Within New Zealand , it is almost always abbreviated with the dollar sign ( $ ) , with `` NZ $ '' sometimes used to distinguish it from other dollar - denominated currencies . In the context of currency trading , it is often informally called the `` Kiwi '' , since New Zealand is commonly associated with the indigenous bird and the one - dollar coin depicts a kiwi . Introduced in 1967 , the dollar is subdivided into 100 cents . Altogether there are ten denominations -- five coins and five banknotes -- with the smallest being the 10 - cent coin . Formerly there were lower denominations , but those were discontinued due to inflation and production costs . The New Zealand dollar is consistently one of the 10 most - traded currencies in the world , being approximately 2.0 % of global foreign exchange market daily turnover in 2013 .

The pound used the £ sd system , in which the pound was divided into 20 shillings and one shilling was divided into 12 pence , which by the 1950s was considered complicated and cumbersome . Switching to decimal currency had been proposed in New Zealand since the 1930s , although only in the 1950s did any plans come to fruition . In 1957 , a committee was set up by the Government to investigate decimal currency . The idea fell on fertile ground , and in 1963 , the Government decided to decimalise New Zealand currency . The Decimal Currency Act was passed in 1964 , setting the date of transition to 10 July 1967 . Words such as `` fern '' , `` kiwi '' and `` zeal '' were proposed to avoid confusion with the word `` dollar '' , which many people at the time associated with the United States dollar . In the end , the word `` dollar '' was chosen anyway , and an anthropomorphic dollar note cartoon character called `` Mr. Dollar '' became the symbol of transition in a huge publicity campaign . On Monday 10 July 1967 ( `` Decimal Currency Day '' ) , the New Zealand dollar was introduced to replace the pound at a rate of two dollars to one pound ( one dollar to ten shillings , ten cents to one shilling , ⁄ cent to a penny ) . Some 27 million new banknotes were printed and 165 million new coins were minted for the changeover . Exchange rate ( edit ) The New Zealand dollar was initially pegged to the US dollar at US $1.43 = NZ $1 . This rate changed on 21 November of the same year to US $1.12 = NZ $1 after the devaluation of the British pound ( see Bretton Woods system ) , although New Zealand devalued more than the UK . In 1971 the US devalued its dollar relative to gold , leading New Zealand on 23 December to peg its dollar at US $1.216 with a 4.5 % fluctuation range , keeping the same gold value . From 9 July 1973 to 4 March 1985 the dollar 's value was determined from a trade - weighted basket of currencies . The NZ $ was floated on 4 March 1985 at the initial rate of US $0.4444 . Since then the dollar 's value has been determined by the financial markets , and has been in the range of about US $0.39 to 0.88 . The dollar 's post-float low was US $0.3922 on 22 November 2000 , and it reached a post-float high on 9 July 2014 of US $0.8821 . Much of this medium - term variation in the exchange rate has been attributed to differences in interest rates . The New Zealand dollar 's value is often strongly affected by currency trading , and is among the 10 most - traded currencies . On 11 June 2007 the Reserve Bank sold an unknown worth of New Zealand dollars for nine billion USD in an attempt to drive down its value . This is the first intervention in the markets by the Bank since the float in 1985 . Two suspected interventions followed , but they were not as successful as the first : the first appeared to be initially effective , with the dollar dropping to approximately US $0.7490 from near US $0.7620 . However , within little more than a month it had risen to new post-float highs , reaching US $0.8103 on 23 July 2007 . After reaching its post-float record high in early 2008 , the value of the NZ $ plummeted throughout much of the 2nd half of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 as a response to the global economic downturn and flight by investors away from `` riskier '' currencies such as the NZ $ . The NZ $ bottomed out at approximately US $0.50 on 6 March 2009 . However , it rebounded strongly as the year progressed , reaching the US $0.75 range by November 2009 . By late 2012 , the dollar was holding above 80 US cents , occasionally reaching 85c , prompting calls from the Green Party for quantitative easing . Unions also called on the Government and the Reserve Bank to take action , but as of February 2013 both had declined . As of early June , 2017 , the NZD was trading at approximately US $0.71 . Coins ( edit ) Main article : Coins of the New Zealand dollar History ( edit ) On the introduction of the dollar , coins came in denominations of 1c , 2c , 5c , 10c , 20c , and 50c . The 1c and 2c coins were bronze , the others were cupro - nickel . To ease transition , the 5c , 10c and 20c were the same size as the sixpence , shilling and florin that they respectively replaced . Until 1970 the 10c coin bore the additional legend `` One Shilling '' . The obverse designs of all the coins featured Arnold Machin 's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II , with the legend ELIZABETH II NEW ZEALAND ( date ) . The reverse sides of coins introduced in 1967 did not follow the designs that were originally intended for them . Those modern art and sculpture themed designs were leaked to a newspaper and met a very negative public reaction . The final releases were given more conservative designs in line with public expectations . In 1986 , New Zealand adopted Raphael Maklouf 's new portrait of the Queen . The 1c and 2c coins were last minted for circulation in 1987 , with collector coins being made for 1988 . The coins were demonetised on 30 April 1990 . The lack of 1c and 2c coins meant that cash transactions were normally rounded to the nearest 5c ( 10c from 2006 ) , a process known as Swedish rounding . On 11 February 1991 , aluminium - bronze $1 and $2 coins were introduced to replace existing $1 and $2 notes . In 1999 , Ian Rank - Broadley 's portrait of the Queen was introduced and the legend rearranged to read NEW ZEALAND ELIZABETH II . On 11 November 2004 the Reserve Bank announced that it proposed to take the 5c coin out of circulation and to make the 50c , 20c and 10c coins smaller and use plated steel to make them lighter . After a three - month public submission period that ended on 4 February 2005 , the Reserve Bank announced on 31 March that it would go ahead with the proposed changes . The changeover period started on 31 July 2006 , with the old coins usable until 31 October 2006 . The old 50c , 20c , 10c and 5c pieces are now no longer legal tender , but are still redeemable at the Reserve Bank . Prior to the change over these coins were similar , save for the legend and reverse artwork , to international ( mainly Commonwealth ) coins of the same British - derived sizes , which led to coins from other currencies , particularly older coins , being accepted by vending machines and many retailers .

Banknotes ( edit ) Main article : Banknotes of the New Zealand dollar History ( edit ) In 1967 , notes were introduced in denominations of $1 , $2 , $5 , $10 , $20 and $100 , with all except the $5 replacing their pound predecessors . The original series of dollar notes featured on the obverse a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing Queen Alexandra 's Kokoshnik tiara , King George 's VI festoon necklace , and Queen Mary 's floret earrings , while the reverse featured native birds and plants . The notes were changed slightly in 1981 due to a change of printer ( from De La Rue to Bradbury , Wilkinson & Co . ) - the most noticeable difference being the portrait based upon a photograph by Peter Grugeon , in which Queen Elizabeth II is wearing Grand Duchess Vladimir 's tiara and Queen Victoria 's golden jubilee necklace . The $50 note was added in 1983 to fill the long gap between the $20 and the $100 notes . $1 and $2 notes were discontinued in 1991 after being replaced with coins . A new series of notes was introduced in 1992 . The obverse of each note featured a notable New Zealander , while the reverse featured a native New Zealand bird and New Zealand scenery . In 1999 , polymer notes replaced the paper notes . The designs remained much the same , but were changed slightly to accommodate new security features , with the most obvious changes being the two transparent windows . New banknotes are being printed in New Zealand at the moment . The new notes are the same sizes and denominations as the older banknotes , and they will continue to be made of the same flexible plastic material . The themes of the notes remain the same , with the same respected New Zealanders , the Queen , and flora and fauna remaining central to the designs . The $5 and $10 notes were released in October 2015 , with the $20 , $50 and $100 notes set to release in April 2016 . The old New Zealand banknotes and the new ' Brighter Money ' banknotes can be used interchangeably for the time being . Since the older banknotes were first issued in 1999 , security features and the technology for designing and printing banknotes have all advanced considerably . And while counterfeiting rates in New Zealand are low compared to the rest of the world , the New Zealand public and government agree that it is in the best interest to `` stay one step ahead of the game '' , hence the new notes .

In September 1974 , Australia moved to a peg against a basket of currencies called the trade weighted index ( TWI ) in an effort to reduce fluctuations associated with its peg to the US dollar . The peg to the TWI was changed to a moving peg in November 1976 , causing the actual value of the peg to be periodically adjusted . Since the late 1990s , and certainly since the end of the Cold War the US dollar has had less and less overall influence over the value of both the NZ $ and A $ against other currencies .

Pearce and party Easiest route Avalanche Gulch ( `` John Muir '' ) route : talus / snow climb U.S. National Natural Landmark Designated 1976 Mount Shasta ( Karuk : Úytaahkoo or `` White Mountain '' ) is a potentially active volcano at the southern end of the Cascade Range in Siskiyou County , California . At an elevation of 14,179 feet ( 4321.8 m ) , it is the second - highest peak in the Cascades and the fifth - highest in the state . Mount Shasta has an estimated volume of 85 cubic miles ( 350 km ) , which makes it the most voluminous stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc . The mountain and surrounding area are part of the Shasta -- Trinity National Forest .

Shasta rises abruptly to tower nearly 10,000 feet ( 3,000 m ) above its surroundings . On a clear winter day , the mountain can be seen from the floor of the Central Valley 140 miles ( 230 km ) to the south . The mountain has attracted the attention of poets , authors , and presidents . The mountain consists of four overlapping volcanic cones that have built a complex shape , including the main summit and the prominent satellite cone of 12,330 ft ( 3,760 m ) Shastina , which has a visibly conical form . If Shastina were a separate mountain , it would rank as the fourth - highest peak of the Cascade Range ( after Mount Rainier , Rainier 's Liberty Cap , and Mount Shasta itself ) . Mount Shasta 's surface is relatively free of deep glacial erosion except , paradoxically , for its south side where Sargents Ridge runs parallel to the U-shaped Avalanche Gulch . This is the largest glacial valley on the volcano , although it does not now have a glacier in it . There are seven named glaciers on Mount Shasta , with the four largest ( Whitney , Bolam , Hotlum , and Wintun ) radiating down from high on the main summit cone to below 10,000 ft ( 3,000 m ) primarily on the north and east sides . The Whitney Glacier is the longest , and the Hotlum is the most voluminous glacier in the state of California . Three of the smaller named glaciers occupy cirques near and above 11,000 ft ( 3,400 m ) on the south and southeast sides , including the Watkins , Konwakiton , and Mud Creek glaciers . History ( edit ) The oldest - known human settlement in the area dates to about 7,000 years ago . At the time of Euro - American contact in the 1820s , the Native American tribes who lived within view of Mount Shasta included the Shasta , Okwanuchu , Modoc , Achomawi , Atsugewi , Karuk , Klamath , Wintu , and Yana tribes . The historic eruption of Mount Shasta in 1786 may have been observed by Lapérouse , but this is disputed . Although perhaps first seen by Spanish explorers , the first reliably reported land sighting of Mount Shasta by a European or American was by Peter Skene Ogden ( a leader of a Hudson 's Bay Company trapping brigade ) in 1826 . In 1827 , the name `` Sasty '' or `` Sastise '' was given to nearby Mount McLoughlin by Ogden . The name was transferred to present - day Mount Shasta in 1841 , partly as a result of work by the United States Exploring Expedition . Mount Shasta as seen from a small farm south of Weed , California Beginning in the 1820s , Mount Shasta was a prominent landmark along what became known as the Siskiyou Trail , which runs at Mount Shasta 's base . The Siskiyou Trail was on the track of an ancient trade and travel route of Native American footpaths between California 's Central Valley and the Pacific Northwest . The California Gold Rush brought the first Euro - American settlements into the area in the early 1850s , including at Yreka , California and Upper Soda Springs . The first recorded ascent of Mount Shasta occurred in 1854 ( by Elias Pearce ) , after several earlier failed attempts . In 1856 , the first women ( Harriette Eddy , Mary Campbell McCloud , and their party ) reached the summit . Clarence King exploring the Whitney Glacier in 1870 . This was the first glacier in the continental United States discovered and named . It was named for Josiah Whitney , head of the California Geological Survey . By the 1860s and 1870s , Mount Shasta was the subject of scientific and literary interest . A book by California pioneer and entrepreneur James Hutchings , titled Scenes of Wonder and Curiosity in California , contained an account of an early summit trip in 1855 . The summit was achieved ( or nearly achieved ) by John Muir , Josiah Whitney , Clarence King , and John Wesley Powell . In 1877 , Muir wrote a dramatic popular article about his surviving an overnight blizzard on Mount Shasta by lying in the hot sulfur springs near the summit . This experience was inspiration to Kim Stanley Robinson 's short story `` Muir on Shasta '' . The 1887 completion of the Central Pacific Railroad , built along the line of the Siskiyou Trail between California and Oregon , brought a substantial increase in tourism , lumbering , and population into the area around Mount Shasta . Early resorts and hotels , such as Shasta Springs and Upper Soda Springs , grew up along the Siskiyou Trail around Mount Shasta , catering to these early adventuresome tourists and mountaineers . In the early 20th century , the Pacific Highway followed the track of the Siskiyou Trail to the base of Mount Shasta , leading to still more access to the mountain . Today 's version of the Siskiyou Trail , Interstate 5 , brings thousands of people each year to Mount Shasta . From February 13 -- 19 , 1959 , the Mount Shasta Ski Bowl obtained the record for the most snowfall during one storm in the U.S. , with a total of 15.75 feet ( 480 cm ) . Mount Shasta was declared a National Natural Landmark in December 1976 . Religion and legends ( edit ) Main article : Legends of Mount Shasta Sunrise on Mount Shasta The lore of some of the Klamath Tribes in the area held that Mount Shasta is inhabited by the Spirit of the Above - World , Skell , who descended from heaven to the mountain 's summit at the request of a Klamath chief . Skell fought with Spirit of the Below - World , Llao , who resided at Mount Mazama by throwing hot rocks and lava , probably representing the volcanic eruptions at both mountains . Italian settlers arrived in the early 1900s to work in the mills as stonemasons and established a strong Catholic presence in the area . Many other faiths have been attracted to Mount Shasta over the years -- more than any other Cascade volcano . Mount Shasta City and Dunsmuir , California , small towns near Shasta 's western base , are focal points for many of these , which range from a Buddhist monastery ( Shasta Abbey , founded by Houn Jiyu - Kennett in 1971 ) to modern - day Native American rituals . A group of Native Americans from the McCloud River area practice rituals on the mountain . Mount Shasta has also been a focus for non-Native American legends , centered on a hidden city of advanced beings from the lost continent of Lemuria . The legend grew from an offhand mention of Lemuria in the 1880s , to a description of a hidden Lemurian village in 1925 . In 1931 , Wisar Spenle Cerve wrote Lemuria : the lost continent of the Pacific , published by the Rosicrucians , about the hidden Lemurians of Mount Shasta that cemented the legend in many readers ' minds . In August 1987 , believers in the spiritual significance of the Harmonic Convergence described Mount Shasta as one of a small number of global `` power centers '' . Mount Shasta remains a focus of `` New Age '' attention . Geology ( edit ) Satellite ( Landsat 8 ) view of Mount Shasta About 593,000 years ago , andesitic lavas erupted in what is now Mount Shasta 's western flank near McBride Spring . Over time , an ancestral Mount Shasta stratovolcano was built to a large but unknown height ; sometime between 300,000 and 360,000 years ago the entire north side of the volcano collapsed , creating an enormous landslide or debris avalanche , 6.5 cu mi ( 27 km ) in volume . The slide flowed northwestward into Shasta Valley , where the Shasta River now cuts through the 28 - mile - long ( 45 km ) flow . What remains of the oldest of Mount Shasta 's four cones is exposed at Sargents Ridge on the south side of the mountain . Lavas from the Sargents Ridge vent cover the Everitt Hill shield at Mount Shasta 's southern foot . The last lavas to erupt from the vent were hornblende - pyroxene andesites with a hornblende dacite dome at its summit . Glacial erosion has since modified its shape . The next cone to form is exposed south of Mount Shasta 's current summit and is called Misery Hill . It was formed 15,000 to 20,000 years ago from pyroxene andesite flows and has since been intruded by a hornblende dacite dome . Nearby Black Butte from Weed , California There are many buried glacial scars on the mountain which were created in recent glacial periods ( `` ice ages '' ) of the present Wisconsinian glaciation . Most have since been filled in with andesite lava , pyroclastic flows , and talus from lava domes . Shastina , by comparison , has a fully intact summit crater indicating Shastina developed after the last ice age . Shastina has been built by mostly pyroxene andesite lava flows . Some 9,500 years ago , these flows reached about 6.8 mi ( 10.9 km ) south and 3 mi ( 4.8 km ) north of the area now occupied by nearby Black Butte . The last eruptions formed Shastina 's present summit about a hundred years later . But before that , Shastina , along with the then forming Black Butte dacite plug dome complex to the west , created numerous pyroclastic flows that covered 43 sq mi ( 110 km ) , including large parts of what is now Mount Shasta , California and Weed , California . Diller Canyon ( 400 ft ( 120 m ) deep and 0.25 mi ( 400 m ) wide ) is an avalanche chute that was probably carved into Shastina 's western face by these flows . The last to form , and the highest cone , the Hotlum Cone , formed about 8,000 years ago . It is named after the Hotlum glacier on its northern face ; its longest lava flow , the 500 - foot - thick ( 150 - metre ) Military Pass flow , extends 5.5 mi ( 8.9 km ) down its northeast face . Since the creation of the Hotlum Cone , a dacite dome intruded the cone and now forms the summit . The rock at the 600 - foot - wide ( 180 - metre ) summit crater has been extensively hydrothermally altered by sulfurous hot springs and fumaroles there ( only a few examples still remain ) . In the last 8,000 years , the Hotlum Cone has erupted at least eight or nine times . About 200 years ago the last significant Mount Shasta eruption came from this cone and created a pyroclastic flow , a hot lahar ( mudflow ) , and three cold lahars , which streamed 7.5 mi ( 12.1 km ) down Mount Shasta 's east flank via Ash Creek . A separate hot lahar went 12 mi ( 19 km ) down Mud Creek . This eruption was thought to have been observed by the explorer La Pérouse , from his ship off the California coast , in 1786 , but this has been disputed . Volcanic status ( edit ) During the last 10,000 years , Mount Shasta has erupted an average of every 800 years , but in the past 4,500 years the volcano has erupted an average of every 600 years . The last significant eruption on Mount Shasta may have occurred about two centuries ago . Diller Canyon on Shastina from Weed Mount Shasta can release volcanic ash , pyroclastic flows or dacite and andesite lava . Its deposits can be detected under nearby small towns . Mount Shasta has an explosive , eruptive history . There are fumaroles on the mountain , which show Mount Shasta is still alive . The worst - case scenario for an eruption is a large pyroclastic flow , such as what occurred in the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens . Since there is ice , such as Whitney Glacier and Mud Creek Glacier , lahars would also result . Ash would probably blow inland , perhaps as far as eastern Nevada . There is a small chance an eruption could result in a collapse of the mountain , as happened when Mount Mazama in Oregon collapsed to form what is now called Crater Lake , but this is of much lower probability . The United States Geological Survey monitors Mount Shasta and rates it as a very high - threat volcano . Climbing ( edit ) Mount Shasta 's west face , June 2009 Many climbers attempt the summit of Mount Shasta . The summer climbing season runs from late April until October , although many attempts are made in the winter . In winter , Sargents Ridge and Casaval Ridge , to the east and west of Avalanche Gulch , respectively , become the most traveled routes , to avoid avalanche danger . Mount Shasta is also a popular destination for backcountry skiing . Many of the climbing routes can be descended by experienced skiers , and there are numerous lower - angled areas around the base of the mountain . The most popular route on Mount Shasta is Avalanche Gulch route , which begins at the Bunny Flat Trailhead and gains about 7,300 feet ( 2,200 m ) of elevation in approximately 11.5 miles ( 18.5 km ) round trip . The crux of this route is considered to be to climb from Lake Helen , at approximately 10,443 feet ( 3,183 m ) , to the top of Red Banks . The Red Banks are the most technical portion of the climb , as they are usually full of snow / ice , are very steep , and top out at around 13,000 feet ( 4,000 m ) before the route heads to Misery Hill . The Casaval Ridge route is a steeper , more technical route on the mountain 's southwest ridge best climbed when there 's a lot of snow pack . This route tops out to the left ( north ) of the Red Banks , directly west of Misery Hill . So the final sections involve a trudge up Misery Hill to the summit plateau , similar to the Avalanche Gulch route . Mount Shasta 's west face as seen from Hidden Valley high on the mountain . The west face gulley is an alternate climbing route to the summit . No quota system currently exists for climbing Mount Shasta , and reservations are not required . However , climbers must obtain a summit pass and a wilderness permit to climb the mountain . Permits and passes are available at the ranger station in Mount Shasta and the ranger station in McCloud , or climbers can obtain self - issue permits and passes at any of the trailheads 24 hours a day .

when was the last time mount shasta was active

During the last 10,000 years , Mount Shasta has erupted an average of every 800 years , but in the past 4,500 years the volcano has erupted an average of every 600 years . The last significant eruption on Mount Shasta may have occurred about two centuries ago .

The reef is located in the Coral Sea , off the coast of Queensland , Australia . The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world 's biggest single structure made by living organisms . This reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms , known as coral polyps . It supports a wide diversity of life and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981 . CNN labelled it one of the seven natural wonders of the world . The Queensland National Trust named it a state icon of Queensland . A large part of the reef is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park , which helps to limit the impact of human use , such as fishing and tourism . Other environmental pressures on the reef and its ecosystem include runoff , climate change accompanied by mass coral bleaching , and cyclic population outbreaks of the crown - of - thorns starfish . According to a study published in October 2012 by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , the reef has lost more than half its coral cover since 1985 . The Great Barrier Reef has long been known to and used by the Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander peoples , and is an important part of local groups ' cultures and spirituality . The reef is a very popular destination for tourists , especially in the Whitsunday Islands and Cairns regions . Tourism is an important economic activity for the region , generating over AUD $ 3 billion per year . In November 2014 , Google launched Google Underwater Street View in 3D of the Great Barrier Reef . A March 2016 report stated that coral bleaching was more widespread than previously thought , seriously affecting the northern parts of the reef as a result of warming ocean temperatures . In October 2016 , Outside published an obituary for the reef ; the article was criticized for being premature and hindering efforts to bolster the resilience of the reef . In March 2017 , the journal Nature published a paper showing that huge sections of a 800 - kilometre ( 500 mi ) stretch in the northern part of the reef had died in the course of 2016 due to high water temperatures , an event that the authors put down to the effects of global climate change .

It reaches from Torres Strait ( between Bramble Cay , its northernmost island , and the south coast of Papua New Guinea ) in the north to the unnamed passage between Lady Elliot Island ( its southernmost island ) and Fraser Island in the south . Lady Elliot Island is located 1,915 km ( 1,190 mi ) southeast of Bramble Cay as the crow flies . It includes the smaller Murray Islands . The Plate tectonic theory indicates Australia has moved northwards at a rate of 7 cm ( 2.8 in ) per year , starting during the Cenozoic . Eastern Australia experienced a period of tectonic uplift , which moved the drainage divide in Queensland 400 km ( 250 mi ) inland . Also during this time , Queensland experienced volcanic eruptions leading to central and shield volcanoes and basalt flows . Some of these became high islands . After the Coral Sea Basin formed , coral reefs began to grow in the Basin , but until about 25 million years ago , northern Queensland was still in temperate waters south of the tropics -- too cool to support coral growth . The Great Barrier Reef 's development history is complex ; after Queensland drifted into tropical waters , it was largely influenced by reef growth and decline as sea level changed . Reefs can increase in diameter by 1 to 3 centimetres ( 0.39 to 1.18 in ) per year , and grow vertically anywhere from 1 to 25 cm ( 0.39 to 9.84 in ) per year ; however , they grow only above a depth of 150 metres ( 490 ft ) due to their need for sunlight , and can not grow above sea level . When Queensland edged into tropical waters 24 million years ago , some coral grew , but a sedimentation regime quickly developed with erosion of the Great Dividing Range ; creating river deltas , oozes and turbidites , unsuitable conditions for coral growth . 10 million years ago , the sea level significantly lowered , which further enabled sedimentation . The reef 's substrate may have needed to build up from the sediment until its edge was too far away for suspended sediments to inhibit coral growth . In addition , approximately 400,000 years ago there was a particularly warm interglacial period with higher sea levels and a 4 ° C ( 7 ° F ) water temperature change . The Great Barrier Reef is clearly visible from aircraft flying over it . Heron Island , a coral cay in the southern Great Barrier Reef The land that formed the substrate of the current Great Barrier Reef was a coastal plain formed from the eroded sediments of the Great Dividing Range with some larger hills ( most of which were themselves remnants of older reefs or , in rare cases , volcanoes ) . The Reef Research Centre , a Cooperative Research Centre , has found coral ' skeleton ' deposits that date back half a million years . The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority ( GBRMPA ) considers the earliest evidence of complete reef structures to have been 600,000 years ago . According to the GBRMPA , the current , living reef structure is believed to have begun growing on the older platform about 20,000 years ago . The Australian Institute of Marine Science agrees , placing the beginning of the growth of the current reef at the time of the Last Glacial Maximum . At around that time , sea level was 120 metres ( 390 ft ) lower than it is today . From 20,000 years ago until 6,000 years ago , sea level rose steadily around the world . As it rose , the corals could then grow higher on the newly submerged maritime margins of the hills of the coastal plain . By around 13,000 years ago the sea level was only 60 metres ( 200 ft ) lower than the present day , and corals began to surround the hills of the coastal plain , which were , by then , continental islands . As the sea level rose further still , most of the continental islands were submerged . The corals could then overgrow the submerged hills , to form the present cays and reefs . Sea level here has not risen significantly in the last 6,000 years . The CRC Reef Research Centre estimates the age of the present , living reef structure at 6,000 to 8,000 years old . The shallow water reefs that can be seen in air - photographs and satellite images cover an area of 20,679 km2 , most ( about 80 % ) of which has grown on top of limestone platforms that are relics of past ( Pleistocene ) phases of reef growth . The remains of an ancient barrier reef similar to the Great Barrier Reef can be found in The Kimberley , Western Australia . The Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area has been divided into 70 bioregions , of which 30 are reef bioregions . In the northern part of the Great Barrier Reef , ribbon reefs and deltaic reefs have formed ; these structures are not found in the rest of the reef system . There are no atolls in the system , and reefs attached to the mainland are rare . Fringing reefs are distributed widely , but are most common towards the southern part of the Great Barrier Reef , attached to high islands , for example , the Whitsunday Islands . Lagoonal reefs are found in the southern Great Barrier Reef , and further north , off the coast of Princess Charlotte Bay . Cresentic reefs are the most common shape of reef in the middle of the system , for example the reefs surrounding Lizard Island . Cresentic reefs are also found in the far north of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park , and in the Swain Reefs ( 20 -- 22 degrees south ) . Planar reefs are found in the northern and southern parts , near Cape York Peninsula , Princess Charlotte Bay , and Cairns . Most of the islands on the reef are found on planar reefs . Ecology Main article : Threatened species known to occur in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area A variety of colourful corals on Flynn Reef near Cairns The Great Barrier Reef supports a diversity of life , including many vulnerable or endangered species , some of which may be endemic to the reef system . A green sea turtle on the Great Barrier Reef Thirty species of whales , dolphins , and porpoises have been recorded in the Great Barrier Reef , including the dwarf minke whale , Indo - Pacific humpback dolphin , and the humpback whale . Large populations of dugongs live there . More than 1,500 fish species live on the reef , including the clownfish , red bass , red - throat emperor , and several species of snapper and coral trout . Forty - nine species mass spawn , while eighty - four other species spawn elsewhere in their range . Seventeen species of sea snake live on the Great Barrier Reef in warm waters up to 50 metres ( 160 ft ) deep and are more common in the southern than in the northern section . None found in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area are endemic , nor are any endangered . Six species of sea turtles come to the reef to breed : the green sea turtle , leatherback sea turtle , hawksbill turtle , loggerhead sea turtle , flatback turtle , and the Olive Ridley . The green sea turtles on the Great Barrier Reef have two genetically distinct populations , one in the northern part of the reef and the other in the southern part . Fifteen species of seagrass in beds attract the dugongs and turtles , and provide fish habitat . The most common genera of seagrasses are Halophila and Halodule . Saltwater crocodiles live in mangrove and salt marshes on the coast near the reef . Nesting has not been reported , and the salt water crocodile population in the GBRWHA is wide - ranging but low density . Around 125 species of shark , stingray , skates or chimaera live on the reef . Close to 5,000 species of mollusc have been recorded on the reef , including the giant clam and various nudibranchs and cone snails . Forty - nine species of pipefish and nine species of seahorse have been recorded . At least seven species of frog inhabit the islands . 215 species of birds ( including 22 species of seabirds and 32 species of shorebirds ) visit the reef or nest or roost on the islands , including the white - bellied sea eagle and roseate tern . Most nesting sites are on islands in the northern and southern regions of the Great Barrier Reef , with 1.4 to 1.7 million birds using the sites to breed . The islands of the Great Barrier Reef also support 2,195 known plant species ; three of these are endemic . The northern islands have 300 -- 350 plant species which tend to be woody , whereas the southern islands have 200 which tend to be herbaceous ; the Whitsunday region is the most diverse , supporting 1,141 species . The plants are propagated by birds . A Striped surgeonfish amongst the coral on Flynn Reef There are at least 330 species of ascidians on the reef system with the diameter of 1 -- 10 cm ( 0.4 -- 4 in ) . Between 300 -- 500 species of bryozoans live on the reef . Four hundred coral species , both hard corals and soft corals inhabit the reef . The majority of these spawn gametes , breeding in mass spawning events that are triggered by the rising sea temperatures of spring and summer , the lunar cycle , and the diurnal cycle . Reefs in the inner Great Barrier Reef spawn during the week after the full moon in October , while the outer reefs spawn in November and December . Its common soft corals belong to 36 genera . Five hundred species of marine algae or seaweed live on the reef , including thirteen species of genus Halimeda , which deposit calcareous mounds up to 100 metres ( 110 yd ) wide , creating mini-ecosystems on their surface which have been compared to rainforest cover . Environmental threats Main article : Environmental threats to the Great Barrier Reef Sea temperature and bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef Climate change , pollution , crown - of - thorns starfish and fishing are the primary threats to the health of this reef system . Other threats include shipping accidents , oil spills , and tropical cyclones . Skeletal Eroding Band , a disease of bony corals caused by the protozoan Halofolliculina corallasia , affects 31 coral species . According to a 2012 study by the National Academy of Science , since 1985 , the Great Barrier Reef has lost more than half of its corals with two - thirds of the loss occurring from 1998 due to the factors listed before . Climate change The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority considers the greatest threat to the Great Barrier Reef to be climate change , causing ocean warming which increases coral bleaching . Mass coral bleaching events due to elevated ocean temperatures occurred in the summers of 1998 , 2002 and 2006 , and coral bleaching is expected to become an annual occurrence . As global warming continues , corals will not be able to keep up with increasing ocean temperatures . Coral bleaching events lead to increased disease susceptibility , which causes detrimental ecological effects for reef communities . World Heritage Committee meeting will take place in Kraków , Poland , in July 2017 . UNESCO , in a draft decision published in June 2017 as part of the agenda for the meeting , expressed serious concern about the impact of coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef . The draft decision also warned Australia that it will not meet the targets of the Reef 2050 report without considerable work to improve water quality . Climate change has implications for other forms of reef life -- some fish 's preferred temperature range leads them to seek new habitat , thus increasing chick mortality in predatory seabirds . Climate change will also affect the population and sea turtle 's available habitat . Bleaching events in benthic coral communities ( deeper than 20 metres or 66 feet ) in the Great Barrier reef are not as well documented as those at shallower depths , but recent research has shown that benthic communities are just as negatively impacted in the face of rising ocean temperatures . Five Great Barrier Reef species of large benthic corals were found bleached under elevated temperatures , affirming that benthic corals are vulnerable to thermal stress . Pollution Another key threat faced by the Great Barrier Reef is pollution and declining water quality . The rivers of north eastern Australia pollute the Reef during tropical flood events . Over 90 % of this pollution comes from farm runoff. 80 % of the land adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef is used for farming including intensive cropping of sugar cane , and major beef cattle grazing . Farming practices damage the reef due to overgrazing , increased run - off of agricultural sediments , nutrients and chemicals including fertilisers , herbicides and pesticides representing a major health risk for the coral and biodiversity of the reefs . Sediments containing high levels of copper and other heavy metals sourced from the Ok Tedi Mine in Papua New Guinea are a potential pollution risk for the far northern Great Barrier Reef and Torres Strait regions . Some 67 % of corals died in the reef 's worst - hit northern section , the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies report said . Loss of coastal Wetland The runoff problem is exacerbated by the loss of coastal wetlands which act as a natural filter for toxins and help deposit sediment . It is thought that the poor water quality is due to increased light and oxygen competition from algae . Eutrophication Farming fertiliser runoff release nitrogen , phosphorus , and potassium into the oceanic ecosystem , these limiting nutrients cause massive algal growth which leads to depletion in oxygen available for other creatures which decreases the biodiversity in the affected areas , altering the species composition . A study by Katharina Fabricius and Glen Death of Australian Institute of Marine Science found that hard corals numbers were almost double on reefs that were far from agricultural areas . Fertilizers also increase the amount of phytoplankton available for the crown - of - thorns starfish larvae to consume . A study showed that a doubling of the chlorophyll in the water leads to a tenfold increase in the crown - of - thorns starfish larvae 's survival rate . Sediment runoff Sediment runoff from farming carries chemicals into the reef environment also reduces the amount of light available to the corals decreasing their ability to extract energy from their environment . Pesticides Pesticides used in farming are made up of heavy metals such as lead , mercury , arsenic and other toxins are released into the wider environment due to erosion of farm soil , which has a detrimental effect on the coral . Pollution from mining Mining company Queensland Nickel discharged nitrate - laden water into the Great Barrier Reef in 2009 and 2011 -- on the later occasion releasing 516 tonnes ( 508 long tons ; 569 short tons ) of waste water . The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority ( GBRMPA ) stated `` We have strongly encouraged the company to investigate options that do not entail releasing the material to the environment and to develop a management plan to eliminate this potential hazard ; however , GBRMPA does not have legislative control over how the Yabulu tailings dam is managed '' . Crown of thorns Crown - of - thorns starfish The crown - of - thorns starfish preys on coral polyps . Large outbreaks of these starfish can devastate reefs . In 2000 , an outbreak contributed to a loss of 66 % of live coral cover on sampled reefs in a study by the RRC ( Reefs Research Centre . ) Outbreaks are believed to occur in natural cycles , worsened by poor water quality and overfishing of the starfish 's predators . Overfishing The unsustainable overfishing of keystone species , such as the Giant Triton , can disrupt food chains vital to reef life . Fishing also impacts the reef through increased water pollution from boats , by - catch of unwanted species ( such as dolphins and turtles ) and habitat destruction from trawling , anchors and nets . As of the middle of 2004 , approximately one - third of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park is protected from species removal of any kind , including fishing , without written permission . The Shen Neng 1 aground on the Great Barrier Reef , 5 April 2010 . Shipping Shipping accidents are a pressing concern , as several commercial shipping routes pass through the Great Barrier Reef . Although the route through the Great Barrier Reef is not easy , reef pilots consider it safer than outside the reef in the event of mechanical failure , since a ship can sit safely while being repaired . There have been over 1,600 known shipwrecks in the Great Barrier Reef region . On 3 April 2010 , bulk coal carrier Shen Neng 1 ran aground on Douglas Shoals , spilling up to four tonnes of oil into the water and causing extensive damage to the reef . Protection and preservation The 2050 Plan In March 2015 , the Australian and Queensland 's governments formed a plan for the protection and preservation of the reef 's universal heritage until 2050 . This 35 years plan , titled ' Reef 2050 Plan ' is a document proposing possible measures for the long - term management of the pollution , climate change and other issues that threaten the life span and value of this global heritage . The plan contains all the elements for measurement and improvements , including ; long - term sustainability plan , water quality improvement plan and the investment plan for the protection and preservation of The Reef until 2050 . Human Use The Great Barrier Reef has long been known to and used by the Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander peoples . Aboriginal Australians have been living in the area for at least 40,000 years , and Torres Strait Islanders since about 10,000 years ago . For these 70 or so clan groups , the reef is also an important cultural feature . In 1768 Louis de Bougainville found the reef during an exploratory mission , but did not claim the area for the French . On 11 June 1770 , the HM Bark Endeavour , captained by explorer James Cook , ran aground on the Great Barrier Reef , sustaining considerable damage . Lightening the ship and re-floating it during an incoming tide eventually saved it . One of the most famous wrecks was the HMS Pandora , which sank on 29 August 1791 , killing 35 men . The Queensland Museum has led archaeological digs to the Pandora since 1983 . Because the reef had no atolls , it was largely unstudied in the 19th century . During this time , some of the reef 's islands were mined for deposits of guano , and lighthouses were built as beacons throughout the system . as in Raine Island , the earliest example . In 1922 , the Great Barrier Reef Committee began carrying out much of the early research on the reef . Management This section needs additional citations for verification .

( September 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Main article : Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Map showing the extent of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Royal Commissions disallowed oil drilling in the Great Barrier Reef , in 1975 the Government of Australia created the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and prohibited various activities . The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park does not include the entire Great Barrier Reef Province . The park is managed , in partnership with the Government of Queensland , through the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority to ensure that it is used in a sustainable manner . A combination of zoning , management plans , permits , education and incentives ( such as eco-tourism certification ) are employed in the effort to conserve the reef . In 1999 , the Australian Parliament passed the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act , which improved the operation of national environmental law by providing guidance about regional biodiversity conservation priorities . The marine bioregional planning process came from the implementation of this law . This process conserves marine biodiversity by considering the whole ecosystem a species is in and how different species interact in the marine environment . There are two steps to this process . The first step is to identify regional conservation priorities in the five ( currently ) different marine regions . The second step is to identify marine reserves ( protected areas or marine parks ) to be added to Australia 's National Representative System of Marine Protected Areas . Like protected areas on land , marine reserves are created to protect biodiversity for generations to come . Marine reserves are identified based on criteria written in a document created by Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council called `` Guidelines for establishing the national representative system of marine protected areas '' , also known as just `` the Guidelines '' . These guidelines are nationally recognised and implemented at the local level based on the Australian policy for implementation outlined in the `` Goals and Principles for the Establishment of the National Representative System of Marine Protected Areas in Commonwealth Waters '' . These policies are in place to make sure that a marine reserve is only added to the NRSMPA after careful evaluation of different data . The priorities for each region are created based on human and environmental threats and the Marine Bioregional Plans are drafted to address these priorities . To assess different region 's priorities , three steps are taken , first , a bioregional profile is created , second , a bioregional plan is drafted , and third , the plan is finalised . After the plan is finalised , activity in different bioregions may become limited based on particular threats an activity may pose . In 2001 , the GBRMPA released a report about the declining water quality in the Great Barrier Reef and detailed the importance of this issue . In response to this report , in 2003 , the Australian and Queensland governments launched a joint initiative to improve the quality of water entering the Great Barrier Reef . The decline in the quality of water over the past 150 years ( due to development ) has contributed to coral bleaching , algal blooms , and pesticide pollution . These forms of pollution have made the reef less resilient to climate change . When the plan was introduced in October 2003 , it originally contained 65 actions built on previous legislation . Their immediate goal was to halt and reverse the decline in water quality entering the reef by 2013 . By 2020 , they hope that the quality of the water entering in the reef improves enough so that it does n't have a detrimental impact on the health of the Great Barrier Reef . To achieve these goals they decided to reduce pollutants in the water entering the reef and to rehabilitate and conserve areas of the reef that naturally help reduce water pollutants . To achieve the objectives described above , this plan focuses on non-point sources of pollution , which can not be traced to a single source such as a waste outlet . The plan specifically targets nutrients , pesticides and sediment that make their way into the reef as a result of agricultural activities . Other non-point sources of pollution that are attributed to urban areas are covered under different legislation . In 2009 , the plan was updated . The updated version states that to date , none of the efforts undertaken to improve the quality of water entering the reef has been successful . The new plan attempts to address this issue by `` targeting priority outcomes , integrating industry and community initiatives and incorporating new policy and regulatory frameworks ( Reef Plan 5 ) '' . This updated version has improved the clarity of the previous plan and targets set by that plan , have improved accountability and further improved monitoring and assessment . The 2009 report found that 41 out of the 65 actions met their original goals , however , 18 were not progressing well according to evaluation criteria as well as 6 were rated as having unsatisfactory levels of progress . Some key achievements made since the plan 's initial passing in 2003 were the establishment of the Reef Quality Partnership to set targets , report findings and monitor progress towards targets , improved land condition by landowners was rewarded with extended leases , Water Quality Improvement Plans were created to identify regional targets and identified management changes that needed to be made to reach those targets , Nutrient Management Zones have been created to combat sediment loss in particular areas , education programs have been started to help gather support for sustainable agriculture , changes to land management practices have taken place through the implementation of the Farm Management Systems and codes of practice , the creation of the Queensland Wetland program and other achievements were made to help improve the water quality flowing into the coral reefs . A taskforce of scientists was also created to assess the impact of different parts of the plan on the quality of water flowing into the coral reefs . They found that many of the goals have yet to be reached but found more evidence that states that improving the water quality of the Great Barrier Reef will improve its resilience to climate change . The Reefocus summit in 2008 , which is also detailed in the report , came to similar conclusions . After this , a stakeholder working group was formed that worked between several groups as well as the Australian and Queensland governments to update reef goals and objectives . The updated version of the plan focuses on strategic priority areas and actions to achieve 2013 goals . Also quantitative targets have been made to critically assess whether targets are being met . Some examples of the water quality goals outlined by this plan are that by 2013 , there will be a 50 % reduction in nitrogen and phosphorus loads at the end of catchments and that by 2020 , there will be a reduction in sediment load by 20 % . The plan also outlines a number of steps that must be taken by landholders to help improve grazing , soil , nutrient , and chemical management practices . There are also a number of supporting initiatives to take place outlined in the plan to help create a framework to improve land use practices which will in turn improve water quality . Through these means the governments of Australia and Queensland hope to improve water quality by 2013 . The 2013 outlook report and revised water quality plan will assess what needs to be done in the future to improve water quality and the livelihoods of the wildlife that resides there . A Blue Starfish ( Linckia laevigata ) resting on hard Acropora and Porites corals . In July 2004 , a new zoning plan took effect for the entire Marine Park , and has been widely acclaimed as a new global benchmark for marine ecosystem conservation . The rezoning was based on the application of systematic conservation planning techniques , using marxan software . While protection across the Marine Park was improved , the highly protected zones increased from 4.5 % to over 33.3 % . At the time , it was the largest Marine Protected Area in the world , although in 2006 , the new Northwestern Hawaiian Islands National Monument became the largest . In 2006 , a review of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Act of 1975 recommended are that there should be no further zoning plan changes until 2013 , and that every five years , a peer - reviewed outlook report should be published , examining the reef 's health , management , and environmental pressures . In each outlook report , several assessments are required . Each assessment has a set of assessment criteria that allows for better presentation of available evidence . Each assessment is judged by these criteria and given a grade . Every outlook report follows the same judging and grading process so that information can be tracked over time . No new research is done to produce the report . Only readily available information goes into the report so little of what is known about the Reef is actually featured in each outlook report . Abbot Point coal port dredge dumping controversy In December 2013 , Greg Hunt , the Australian environment minister , approved a plan for dredging to create three shipping terminals as part of the construction of a coalport . According to corresponding approval documents , the process will create around 3 million cubic metres of dredged seabed that will be dumped within the Great Barrier Reef marine park area . On 31 January 2014 , the GBRMPA issued a dumping permit that will allow three million cubic metres of sea bed from Abbot Point , north of Bowen , to be transported and unloaded in the waters of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park . Potential significant harms have been identified in relation to dredge spoil and the process of churning up the sea floor in the area and exposing it to air : firstly , new research shows the finer particles of dredge spoil can cloud the water and block sunlight , thereby starving sea grass and coral up to distances of 80 km away from the point of origin due to the actions of wind and currents . Furthermore , dredge spoil can literally smother reef or sea grass to death , while storms can repeatedly resuspend these particles so that the harm caused is ongoing ; secondly , disturbed sea floor can release toxic substances into the surrounding environment . The dredge spoil from the Abbot Point port project is to be dumped 24 kilometres ( 15 mi ) away , near Bowen in north Queensland , and the approval from the Authority will result in the production of an extra 70 million tonnes of coal annually , worth between A $1.4 billion and $2.8 billion . Authority chairman , Dr Russell Reichelt , stated after the confirmation of the approval : This approval is in line with the agency 's view that port development along the Great Barrier Reef coastline should be limited to existing ports . As a deepwater port that has been in operation for nearly 30 years , Abbot Point is better placed than other ports along the Great Barrier Reef coastline to undertake expansion as the capital and maintenance dredging required will be significantly less than what would be required in other areas . It 's important to note the seafloor of the approved disposal area consists of sand , silt and clay and does not contain coral reefs or seagrass beds . The approval was provided with a corresponding set of 47 new environmental conditions that include the following : A long - term water quality monitoring plan extending five years after the disposal activity is completed . A heritage management plan to protect the Catalina second world war aircraft wreck in Abbot Bay . The establishment of an independent dredging and disposal technical advice panel and a management response group , to include community representatives . The Australian Federal Government announced on 13 November that there would now be a ban on the dumping of dredge spoil in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park . The World Heritage Committee asked Environment Minister Greg Hunt to investigate alternative options to dump on land instead . The Queensland government and the Commonwealth have now accepted the alternative option and advice from The World Heritage Committee and will now commence dumping on land . Tourism Main article : Tourism on the Great Barrier Reef A scuba diver looking at a giant clam on the Great Barrier Reef Helicopter view of the reef and boats Due to its vast biodiversity , warm clear waters and accessibility from the tourist boats called `` live aboards '' , the reef is a very popular destination , especially for scuba divers . Tourism on the Great Barrier Reef is concentrated in Cairns and also The Whitsundays due to their accessibility . These areas make up 7 % -- 8 % of the Park 's area . The Whitsundays and Cairns have their own Plans of Management . Many cities along the Queensland coast offer daily boat trips . Several continental and coral cay islands are now resorts , including Green Island and Lady Elliot Island . As of 1996 , 27 islands on the Great Barrier Reef supported resorts . In 1996 , most of the tourism in the region was domestically generated and the most popular visiting times were during the Australian winter . At this time , it was estimated that tourists to the Great Barrier Reef contributed A $ 776 million per annum . As the largest commercial activity in the region , it was estimated in 2003 that tourism generated over A $4 billion annually , and the 2005 estimate increased to A $5.1 billion . A Deloitte report published by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority in March 2013 states that the Reef 's 2,000 kilometres of coastline attracts tourism worth A $6.4 billion annually and employs more than 64,000 people . Approximately two million people visit the Great Barrier Reef each year . Although most of these visits are managed in partnership with the marine tourism industry , there is a concern among the general public that tourism is harmful to the Great Barrier Reef . A variety of boat tours and cruises are offered , from single day trips , to longer voyages . Boat sizes range from dinghies to superyachts . Glass - bottomed boats and underwater observatories are also popular , as are helicopter flights . By far , the most popular tourist activities on the Great Barrier Reef are snorkelling and diving , for which pontoons are often used , and the area is often enclosed by nets . The outer part of the Great Barrier Reef is favoured for such activities , due to water quality . Management of tourism in the Great Barrier Reef is geared towards making tourism ecologically sustainable . A daily fee is levied that goes towards research of the Great Barrier Reef . This fee ends up being 20 % of the GBRMPA 's income . Policies on cruise ships , bareboat charters , and anchorages limit the traffic on the Great Barrier Reef . The problems that surround ecotourism in the Great Barrier Reef revolve around permanent tourism platforms . Platforms are large , ship - like vessels that act as a base for tourists while scuba diving and snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef . Seabirds will land on the platforms and defecate which will eventually be washed into the sea . The feces carry nitrogen , phosphorus and often DDT and mercury , which cause aspergillosis , yellow - band disease , and black band disease . Areas without tourism platforms have 14 out of 9,468 ( 1.1 % ) diseased corals versus areas with tourism platforms that have 172 out of 7,043 ( 12 % ) diseased corals . Tourism is a major economic activity for the region . Thus , while non-permanent platforms could be possible in some areas , overall , permanent platforms are likely a necessity . Solutions have been suggested to siphon bird waste into gutters connecting to tanks helping lower runoff that causes coral disease . The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority has also placed many permanent anchorage points around the general use areas . These act to reduce damage to the reef due to anchoring destroying soft coral , chipping hard coral , and disturbing sediment as it is dragged across the bottom . Tourism operators also must comply with speed limits when travelling to or from tourist destinations , to prevent excessive wake from the boats disturbing the reef ecosystem . Fishing The fishing industry in the Great Barrier Reef , controlled by the Queensland Government , is worth A $ 1 billion annually . It employs approximately 2000 people , and fishing in the Great Barrier Reef is pursued commercially , for recreation , and as a traditional means for feeding one 's family . Dugong hunting Under the Native Title Act 1993 , native title holders retain the right to legally hunt dugongs and green turtles for `` personal , domestic or non-commercial communal needs '' . Four traditional owners groups agreed to cease the hunting of dugongs in the area in 2011 due to their declining numbers , partially accelerated by seagrass damage from Cyclone Yasi .

ALZ - 112 is given to a chimp named Bright Eyes , greatly increasing her intelligence . But then , during Will 's presentation for the drug , Bright Eyes is forced from her cage , goes on a rampage , and is shot to death . Will 's boss Steven Jacobs terminates the project and has the chimps slaughtered . However , Will 's assistant Robert Franklin discovers that the reason for Bright Eyes ' rampage was that she had recently given birth to an infant chimp . Will reluctantly agrees to take in the chimp , who is named Caesar . Will learns that Caesar has inherited his mother 's intelligence and decides to raise him . Three years later , Will introduces Caesar to the redwood forest at Muir Woods National Monument . Meanwhile , Will treats his dementia - suffering father Charles with ALZ - 112 , which seems to restore his cognitive ability . Five years later , when Caesar reaches adolescence and sees a dog on a leash like his own , he questions his identity and learns of his origins from Will . Meanwhile , Charles 's condition returns as he becomes resistant to ALZ - 112 . Caesar injures a neighbor , Douglas Hunsiker , while defending a confused Charles . As a result , he is placed in a primate shelter where he is tormented by a chimp named Rocket and the chief guard , Dodge Landon , but also where he befriends an orangutan named Maurice who came from a circus . Caesar learns how to unlock his cage , gaining free access to the common area . With the assistance of a gorilla named Buck , he confronts the sanctuary 's alpha , Rocket and claims that position . Meanwhile , Jacobs clears development of a more powerful , gaseous version of the drug -- ALZ - 113 -- when Will tells him it can also improve intelligence . Will takes the drug home to try to save his father , but Charles declines further treatment and dies overnight . After attempting to test the drug on a scarred bonobo test subject named Koba , Franklin becomes exposed to ALZ - 113 and becomes ill . Attempting to warn Will at his home , he sneezes blood onto Hunsiker and is later discovered dead . Will attempts to reclaim Caesar , but the chimp refuses to go home with him so he could look after the other apes . Instead , he escapes from the facility and returns to Will 's house , where he takes canisters of the ALZ - 113 . Upon returning , Caesar releases the gas and allows it to enhance the intelligence of the other apes . When Dodge attempts to get him back into his cage , Caesar speaks for the first time , yelling `` No ! '' and gets in a fight which inadvertently leads to Dodge 's death . The apes flee the facility , release the remaining chimps from Gen - Sys , and free more apes from the San Francisco Zoo on the way . A battle ensues as the ape army fights their way past a police blockade on the Golden Gate Bridge to escape into the redwood forest . Buck sacrifices himself to save Caesar by jumping into the helicopter in which Jacobs is riding . The helicopter crashes onto the bridge , trapping Jacobs in the wreckage . Koba seizes his chance for revenge and sends Jacobs falling to his death in the bay below . As the apes find their way into the forest , Will arrives and warns Caesar that the humans will hunt them down , and begs him to return home . In response , Caesar hugs him and says that , `` Caesar is home . '' Will , realizing that this is indeed their last goodbye , respects Caesar 's wishes . The apes embrace their new lifestyle in the forest . In a mid-credits scene , an infected Hunsiker leaves his house for work as an airline pilot , arriving at San Francisco International Airport for his flight to Paris . His nose begins to drip blood onto the floor . A graphic traces the spread of the humanity - ravaging virus around the globe via international flight routes . Cast ( edit ) Humans ( edit ) James Franco as Dr. William `` Will '' Rodman , a biologist who is trying to discover a cure for his father 's Alzheimer 's disease by testing ALZ - 112 on chimps .

Jamie Harris as Rodney , a caretaker and a nightwatchman who is much kinder to the apes at the sanctuary and is regularly mocked by Dodge for this . David Hewlett as Douglas Hunsiker , Will 's hot - headed neighbor . Chelah Horsdal as Irena , a nurse who is looking after Charles . Apes ( edit ) Andy Serkis as Caesar , a common chimpanzee whose intelligence is increased from inheriting ALZ - 112 from his mother during her pregnancy , and who is raised by Will for eight years . Karin Konoval as Maurice , a wise and benevolent Bornean orangutan who was retired from the circus and knows sign language ; he becomes Caesar 's closest ally .

Jay Caputo as Alpha , the dominant male common chimpanzee of Bright Eyes ' troop and Caesar 's father . Christopher Gordon as Koba , a scarred and aggressive bonobo who has spent most of his life in laboratories and holds a grudge against humans . Production ( edit ) Development and writing ( edit ) In 2006 , screenwriter - producer Rick Jaffa was searching for a script idea . As Jaffa searched a newspaper articles clipping , one about pet chimpanzees that become troublesome to their owners and heartbroken for not adapting well to the human environment intrigued him . As Jaffa eventually realized it fit the Planet of the Apes series , he called his wife and screenwriting partner Amanda Silver to express his ideas of such a chimpanzee eventually starting the ape revolution , and then the couple started developing the character of Caesar . Jaffa indicated that `` it 's a reinvention '' and if he had to pick between calling it a prequel or a reboot he would say it is a reboot : `` It 's a different story of who Caesar is , and how he came to be . So it 's really kind of hard to put a label on it . We are hopefully rebooting it . '' He went on to say that `` we tried really hard to create a story that would stand on its own and yet also pay homage and honor the movies that came before us . '' Jaffa and Silver then wrote a script and sold it to Fox , producers of the Apes franchise . The script added other elements which the couple had researched , such as genetic engineering . Several tributes to specific scenes , characters , and cast and crew from the previous Apes film series were added in the script . In particular , Caesar 's treatment at the primate sanctuary parallels Taylor 's treatment as a captive in the original film . In a segment of a video blog post , director Rupert Wyatt commented on the originality of the plot : `` This is part of the mythology and it should be seen as that . It 's not a continuation of the other films ; it 's an original story . It does satisfy the people who enjoy those films . The point of this film is to achieve that and to bring that fan base into this film exactly like Batman Begins . '' In a 2009 interview , Wyatt said , `` We 've incorporated elements from Conquest of the Planet of the Apes , in terms of how the apes begin to revolt , but this is primarily a prequel to the 1968 film ... Caesar is a revolutionary figure who will be talked about by his fellow apes for centuries ... This is just the first step in the evolution of the apes , and there 's a lot more stories to tell after this . I imagine the next film will be about the all - out war between the apes and humans . '' Mark Bomback did an uncredited rewrite of the script . Filming ( edit ) Filming began in July 2010 in Vancouver , British Columbia . Filming also happened in San Francisco , California ( the primary setting of the film ) , and around Oahu , Hawaii , which doubled for the African jungle as the schedule and budget did not allow for location shooting in Africa . Visual effects ( edit ) As the apes in Rise were meant to be actual apes , the producers decided not to use actors in ape suits . After considering real apes , instead Weta Digital created the apes digitally in almost every case through performance capture . Advances in the technology allowed the use of performance capture in an exterior environment , affording the film - makers the freedom to shoot much of the film on location with other actors , as opposed to the confines of a soundstage . The main breakthrough was a camera that enabled viewing the motion capture dots in daylight , employed mostly for the Golden Gate Bridge battle . A maximum of six actors could have their movements captured , with larger ape crowds using fully digital animals animated using Weta 's move library . The Golden Gate Bridge set used both a physical set which was extended digitally , and a fully computer - generated model of the bridge that also included the ocean and nearby hills . After shooting the actors playing humans interacting with others wearing the motion capture suits , a clean plate was shot with actors for extra reference . Actor - stuntman Terry Notary guided the actors on realistic ape movement , while Weta studied the chimps in the Wellington Zoo for reference . The digital apes also received detailed models with skeletons , muscles and nerve tissue layers for accurate animation . Cast models of apes ' heads and limbs helped the texture department replicate skin details such as wrinkles and pores . Given the difference between human and chimpanzee facial muscles , the animators tweaked the performance through a new facial muscle system adding dynamics , ballistics , and secondary motion . As the silent performance required expressive eyes , a new eye model was made to depict both greater accuracy in muscle movement in and around the eyes , and also tears , pupil dilation , and light refraction . While Andy Serkis was the primary performer for Caesar , as the effects team considered that at times `` Andy overcame the character , '' other motion capture team actors were also used , especially Devyn Dalton , whose height matched that of a chimpanzee . Along with that , they used Notary to play Caesar in stunt - filled scenes such as the Golden Gate Bridge scene . Music ( edit ) The score for the film was written by Patrick Doyle and performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony conducted by James Shearman . The main concern was to have the music help progress the plot in the scenes without dialogue , for instance , conveying the emotions of Caesar 's relationships with Will and Charles . To turn the score into a `` driving force that keeps audiences paying attention , '' Doyle employed an African - American chorus and focused on percussion and `` low and deep '' orchestra sounds . Doyle collaborated closely with the sound department to make the music complement the sound effects , including writing a recurring theme based on their recording of a chimpanzee . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 81 % based on 252 reviews , with an average rating of 7.1 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Led by Rupert Wyatt 's stylish direction , some impressive special effects , and a mesmerizing performance by Andy Serkis , Rise of the Planet of the Apes breathes unlikely new life into a long - running franchise . '' Another review aggregator , Metacritic , gave the film a score of 68 out of 100 , based on 39 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Roger Ebert gave the film 3 out of 4 stars and praised the role of Caesar and Andy Serkis by stating it was a `` wonderfully executed character '' and `` one never knows exactly where the human ends and the effects begin , but Serkis and / or Caesar gives the best performance in the movie . '' Giving the film 5 out of 5 stars , Joe Neumaier of Daily News labelled Rise of the Planet of the Apes as the summer 's best popcorn flick . Nick Pinkerton of The Village Voice wrote , `` Caesar 's prison conversion to charismatic pan-ape revolutionist is near - silent filmmaking , with simple and precise images illustrating Caesar 's General - like divining of personalities and his organization of a group from chaos to order . '' Roger Moore of Orlando Sentinel wrote , `` Audacious , violent and disquieting , `` Rise of the Planet of the Apes '' is a summer sequel that 's better than it has any right to be . '' He gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars . Manohla Dargis of The New York Times praised the film by saying , `` Precisely the kind of summer diversion that the studios have such a hard time making now . It 's good , canny - dumb fun . '' She also gave it 3.5 out of 4 stars . Peter Travers of Rolling Stone noted that the film has mixed `` twists lifted from 1972 's Conquest of the Planet of the Apes and 1999 's Deep Blue Sea '' . Box Office ( edit ) Rise of the Planet of the Apes made its debut in the United States and Canada on roughly 5,400 screens within 3,648 theaters . It grossed $19,534,699 on opening day and $54,806,191 in its entire opening weekend , making it # 1 for that weekend as well as the fourth - highest - grossing August opening ever . The film held on to the # 1 spot in its second weekend , dropping 49.2 % , and grossing $27,832,307 . Rise of the Planet of the Apes crossed the $150 million mark in the United States and Canada on its 26th day of release . Entertainment Weekly said that this was quite an accomplishment for the film since the month of August is a difficult time for films to make money . The film ended its run at the box office on December 15 , 2011 , with a gross of $176,760,185 in the U.S. and Canada as well as $305,040,864 internationally , for a total of $481,801,049 worldwide .

Area Film Critics Association Best Supporting Actor Andy Serkis Nominated Sequels ( edit ) Main articles : Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes Regarding the story setting up possible sequels , director Rupert Wyatt commented : `` I think we 're ending with certain questions , which is quite exciting . To me , I can think of all sorts of sequels to this film , but this is just the beginning . '' Screenwriter and producer Rick Jaffa also stated that Rise of the Planet of the Apes would feature several clues as to future sequels : `` I hope that we 're building a platform for future films . We 're trying to plant a lot of the seeds for a lot of the things you are talking about in terms of the different apes and so forth . '' On May 31 , 2012 , 20th Century Fox announced that the sequel would be named Dawn of the Planet of the Apes . Reports said that Wyatt was leaving the sequel due to his concern that a May 2014 release date would not give him enough time to properly make the film ; he was replaced by Cloverfield director Matt Reeves . Jaffa and Silver returned as producers and to pen the screenplay , with rewrites from Scott Z . Burns and Mark Bomback . Taking place ten years after Rise , Dawn follows Caesar 's growing nation of evolved apes threatened by human survivors that put both sides in the brink of war . Andy Serkis , Terry Notary and Karin Konoval reprised their roles as Caesar , Rocket and Maurice . James Franco returned as Will Rodman in a `` cameo via video '' . Judy Greer and Toby Kebbell replace Devyn Dalton and Christopher Gordon as Cornelia and Koba , respectively . Filming of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes started on North Vancouver Island in April 2013 . The film was released July 11 , 2014 . On January 6 , 2014 , 20th Century Fox announced a third installment with Reeves returning to direct and co-write along with Bomback , with a planned July 2016 release . In January 2015 , Fox delayed the release to July 14 , 2017 . On May 14 , 2015 , the title was given as War of the Planet of the Apes , later re-titled to War for the Planet of the Apes .

Coriolis force - wikipedia Coriolis force Jump to : navigation , search For the psychophysical perception effect , see Coriolis effect ( perception ) . In the inertial frame of reference ( upper part of the picture ) , the black ball moves in a straight line . However , the observer ( brown dot ) who is standing in the rotating / non-inertial frame of reference ( lower part of the picture ) sees the object as following a curved path due to the Coriolis and centrifugal forces present in this frame . In physics , the Coriolis force is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotating reference frame . In a reference frame with clockwise rotation , the force acts to the left of the motion of the object . In one with anticlockwise rotation , the force acts to the right . Deflection of an object due to the Coriolis force is called the Coriolis effect . Though recognized previously by others , the mathematical expression for the Coriolis force appeared in an 1835 paper by French scientist Gaspard - Gustave de Coriolis , in connection with the theory of water wheels . Early in the 20th century , the term Coriolis force began to be used in connection with meteorology . Newton 's laws of motion describe the motion of an object in an inertial ( non-accelerating ) frame of reference . When Newton 's laws are transformed to a rotating frame of reference , the Coriolis force and centrifugal force appear . Both forces are proportional to the mass of the object . The Coriolis force is proportional to the rotation rate and the centrifugal force is proportional to its square . The Coriolis force acts in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis and to the velocity of the body in the rotating frame and is proportional to the object 's speed in the rotating frame ( more precisely , to the component of its velocity that is perpendicular to the axis of rotation ) . The centrifugal force acts outwards in the radial direction and is proportional to the distance of the body from the axis of the rotating frame . These additional forces are termed inertial forces , fictitious forces or pseudo forces . They allow the application of Newton 's laws to a rotating system . They are correction factors that do not exist in a non-accelerating or inertial reference frame . In popular ( non-technical ) usage of the term `` Coriolis effect '' , the rotating reference frame implied is almost always the Earth . Because the Earth spins , Earth - bound observers need to account for the Coriolis force to correctly analyze the motion of objects . The Earth completes one rotation per day , so for motions of everyday objects the Coriolis force is usually quite small compared to other forces ; its effects generally become noticeable only for motions occurring over large distances and long periods of time , such as large - scale movement of air in the atmosphere or water in the ocean . Such motions are constrained by the surface of the Earth , so only the horizontal component of the Coriolis force is generally important . This force causes moving objects on the surface of the Earth to be deflected to the right ( with respect to the direction of travel ) in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere . The horizontal deflection effect is greater near the poles , since the effective rotation rate about a local vertical axis is largest there , and decreases to zero at the equator . Rather than flowing directly from areas of high pressure to low pressure , as they would in a non-rotating system , winds and currents tend to flow to the right of this direction north of the equator and to the left of this direction south of it . This effect is responsible for the rotation of large cyclones ( see Coriolis effects in meteorology ) . For an intuitive explanation of the origin of the Coriolis force , consider an object moving northward in the northern hemisphere . Viewed from outer space , the object does not appear to go due north , but has an eastward motion ( it rotates around toward the right along with the surface of the Earth ) . The further north you go , the smaller the `` horizontal diameter '' of the Earth , and so the slower the eastward motion of its surface . As the object moves north , to higher latitudes , it has a tendency to maintain the eastward speed it started with ( rather than slowing down to match the reduced eastward speed of local objects on the Earth 's surface ) , so it veers east ( i.e. to the right of its initial motion ) . Though not obvious from this example , which considers northward motion , the horizontal deflection occurs equally for objects moving east or west ( or any other direction ) .

Dechales , showing how a cannonball should deflect to the right of its target on a rotating Earth , because the rightward motion of the ball is faster than that of the tower . Image from Cursus seu Mundus Mathematicus ( 1674 ) of C.F.M. Dechales , showing how a ball should fall from a tower on a rotating Earth . The ball is released from F. The top of the tower moves faster than its base , so while the ball falls , the base of the tower moves to I , but the ball , which has the eastward speed of the tower 's top , outruns the tower 's base and lands further to the east at L . Italian scientist Giovanni Battista Riccioli and his assistant Francesco Maria Grimaldi described the effect in connection with artillery in the 1651 Almagestum Novum , writing that rotation of the Earth should cause a cannonball fired to the north to deflect to the east . In 1674 Claude François Milliet Dechales described in his Cursus seu Mundus Mathematicus how the rotation of the earth should cause a deflection in the trajectories of both falling bodies and projectiles aimed toward one of the planet 's poles . Riccioli , Grimaldi , and Dechales all described the effect as part of an argument against the heliocentric system of Copernicus . In other words , they argued that the Earth 's rotation should create the effect , and so failure to detect the effect was evidence for an immobile Earth . The Coriolis acceleration equation was derived by Euler in 1749 and the effect was described in the tidal equations of Pierre - Simon Laplace in 1778 . Gaspard - Gustave Coriolis published a paper in 1835 on the energy yield of machines with rotating parts , such as waterwheels . That paper considered the supplementary forces that are detected in a rotating frame of reference . Coriolis divided these supplementary forces into two categories . The second category contained a force that arises from the cross product of the angular velocity of a coordinate system and the projection of a particle 's velocity into a plane perpendicular to the system 's axis of rotation . Coriolis referred to this force as the `` compound centrifugal force '' due to its analogies with the centrifugal force already considered in category one . The effect was known in the early 20th century as the `` acceleration of Coriolis '' , and by 1920 as `` Coriolis force '' . In 1856 , William Ferrel proposed the existence of a circulation cell in the mid-latitudes with air being deflected by the Coriolis force to create the prevailing westerly winds . The understanding of the kinematics of how exactly the rotation of the Earth affects airflow was partial at first . Late in the 19th century , the full extent of the large scale interaction of pressure gradient force and deflecting force that in the end causes air masses to move ' along ' isobars was understood . Formula ( edit ) See also : Fictitious force In non-vector terms : at a given rate of rotation of the observer , the magnitude of the Coriolis acceleration of the object is proportional to the velocity of the object and also to the sine of the angle between the direction of movement of the object and the axis of rotation . The vector formula for the magnitude and direction of the Coriolis acceleration is derived through vector analysis and is a C = − 2 Ω × v ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( a ) ) _ ( C ) = - 2 \ , ( \ boldsymbol ( \ Omega \ times v ) ) ) where ( here and below ) a C ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( a ) ) _ ( C ) ) is the acceleration of the particle in the rotating system , v ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( v ) ) \ , ) is the velocity of the particle with respect to the rotating system , and Ω is the angular velocity vector having magnitude equal to the rotation rate ω , with direction along the axis of rotation of the rotating reference frame , and the × ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( \ times ) ) ) symbol represents the cross product operator . The equation may be multiplied by the mass of the relevant object to produce the Coriolis force : F C = − 2 m Ω × v ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( F ) ) _ ( C ) = - 2 \ , m \ , ( \ boldsymbol ( \ Omega \ times v ) ) ) . See fictitious force for a derivation . The Coriolis effect is the behavior added by the Coriolis acceleration . The formula implies that the Coriolis acceleration is perpendicular both to the direction of the velocity of the moving mass and to the frame 's rotation axis . So in particular : if the velocity is parallel to the rotation axis , the Coriolis acceleration is zero . ( For example , on Earth , this situation occurs for a body on the equator moving north or south relative to Earth 's surface . ) if the velocity is straight inward to the axis , the acceleration is in the direction of local rotation . ( For example , on Earth , this situation occurs for a body on the equator falling downward , as in the Dechales illustration above , where the falling ball travels further to the east than does the tower . ) if the velocity is straight outward from the axis , the acceleration is against the direction of local rotation . ( In the tower example , a ball launched upward would move toward the west . ) if the velocity is in the direction of local rotation , the acceleration is outward from the axis . ( For example , on Earth , this situation occurs for a body on the equator moving east relative to Earth 's surface . It would move upward as seen by an observer on the surface . This effect ( see Eötvös effect below ) was discussed by Galileo Galilei in 1632 and by Riccioli in 1651 . ) if the velocity is against the direction of local rotation , the acceleration is inward to the axis . ( On Earth , this situation occurs for a body on the equator moving west , which would deflect downward as seen by an observer . ) Causes ( edit ) The Coriolis force exists only when one uses a rotating reference frame . In the rotating frame it behaves exactly like a real force ( that is to say , it causes acceleration and has real effects ) . However , the Coriolis force is a consequence of inertia , and is not attributable to an identifiable originating body , as is the case for electromagnetic or nuclear forces , for example . From an analytical viewpoint , to use Newton 's second law in a rotating system , the Coriolis force is mathematically necessary , but it disappears in a non-accelerating , inertial frame of reference . For example , consider two children on opposite sides of a spinning roundabout ( Merry - go - round ) , who are throwing a ball to each other . From the children 's point of view , this ball 's path is curved sideways by the Coriolis force . Suppose the roundabout spins anticlockwise when viewed from above . From the thrower 's perspective , the deflection is to the right . From the non-thrower's perspective , deflection is to the left . For a mathematical formulation see Mathematical derivation of fictitious forces . In meteorology , a rotating frame ( the Earth ) with its Coriolis force provides a more natural framework for explanation of air movements than a non-rotating , inertial frame without Coriolis forces . In long - range gunnery , sight corrections for the Earth 's rotation are based upon the Coriolis force . These examples are described in more detail below . The acceleration entering the Coriolis force arises from two sources of change in velocity that result from rotation : the first is the change of the velocity of an object in time . The same velocity ( in an inertial frame of reference where the normal laws of physics apply ) is seen as different velocities at different times in a rotating frame of reference . The apparent acceleration is proportional to the angular velocity of the reference frame ( the rate at which the coordinate axes change direction ) , and to the component of velocity of the object in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation . This gives a term − Ω × v ( \ displaystyle - ( \ boldsymbol ( \ Omega ) ) \ times ( \ boldsymbol ( v ) ) ) . The minus sign arises from the traditional definition of the cross product ( right hand rule ) , and from the sign convention for angular velocity vectors . The second is the change of velocity in space . Different positions in a rotating frame of reference have different velocities ( as seen from an inertial frame of reference ) . For an object to move in a straight line , it must accelerate so that its velocity changes from point to point by the same amount as the velocities of the frame of reference . The force is proportional to the angular velocity ( which determines the relative speed of two different points in the rotating frame of reference ) , and to the component of the velocity of the object in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation ( which determines how quickly it moves between those points ) . This also gives a term − Ω × v ( \ displaystyle - ( \ boldsymbol ( \ Omega ) ) \ times ( \ boldsymbol ( v ) ) ) . Length scales and the Rossby number ( edit ) Further information : Rossby number The time , space and velocity scales are important in determining the importance of the Coriolis force . Whether rotation is important in a system can be determined by its Rossby number , which is the ratio of the velocity , U , of a system to the product of the Coriolis parameter , f = 2 ω sin ⁡ φ ( \ displaystyle f = 2 \ omega \ sin \ varphi \ , ) , and the length scale , L , of the motion : R o = U f L . ( \ displaystyle Ro = ( \ frac ( U ) ( fL ) ) . ) The Rossby number is the ratio of inertial to Coriolis forces . A small Rossby number indicates a system is strongly affected by Coriolis forces , and a large Rossby number indicates a system in which inertial forces dominate . For example , in tornadoes , the Rossby number is large , in low - pressure systems it is low , and in oceanic systems it is around 1 . As a result , in tornadoes the Coriolis force is negligible , and balance is between pressure and centrifugal forces . In low - pressure systems , centrifugal force is negligible and balance is between Coriolis and pressure forces . In the oceans all three forces are comparable . An atmospheric system moving at U = 10 m / s ( 22 mph ) occupying a spatial distance of L = 1,000 km ( 621 mi ) , has a Rossby number of approximately 0.1 . A baseball pitcher may throw the ball at U = 45 m / s ( 100 mph ) for a distance of L = 18.3 m ( 60 ft ) . The Rossby number in this case would be 32,000 . Baseball players do n't care about which hemisphere they 're playing in . However , an unguided missile obeys exactly the same physics as a baseball , but can travel far enough and be in the air long enough to experience the effect of Coriolis force . Long - range shells in the Northern Hemisphere landed close to , but to the right of , where they were aimed until this was noted . ( Those fired in the Southern Hemisphere landed to the left . ) In fact , it was this effect that first got the attention of Coriolis himself .

To hit the target located at position 1 on the perimeter at time t = 0 s , the cannon must be aimed ahead of the target at angle θ . That way , by the time the cannonball reaches position 3 on the periphery , the target is also at that position . In an inertial frame of reference , the cannonball travels a straight radial path to the target ( curve y ) . However , in the frame of the turntable , the path is arched ( curve y ) , as also shown in the figure . Successful trajectory of cannonball as seen from the turntable for three angles of launch θ . Plotted points are for the same equally spaced times steps on each curve . Cannonball speed v is held constant and angular rate of rotation ω is varied to achieve a successful `` hit '' for selected θ . For example , for a radius of 1 m and a cannonball speed of 1 m / s , the time of flight t = 1 s , and ωt = θ → ω and θ have the same numerical value if θ is expressed in radians . The wider spacing of the plotted points as the target is approached show the speed of the cannonball is accelerating as seen on the turntable , due to fictitious Coriolis and centrifugal forces . Acceleration components at an earlier time ( top ) and at arrival time at the target ( bottom ) Coriolis acceleration , centrifugal acceleration and net acceleration vectors at three selected points on the trajectory as seen on the turntable . The animation at the top of this article is a classic illustration of Coriolis force . Another visualization of the Coriolis and centrifugal forces is this animation clip . Given the radius R of the turntable in that animation , the rate of angular rotation ω , and the speed of the cannonball ( assumed constant ) v , the correct angle θ to aim so as to hit the target at the edge of the turntable can be calculated . The inertial frame of reference provides one way to handle the question : calculate the time to interception , which is t = R / v . Then , the turntable revolves an angle ω t in this time . If the cannon is pointed an angle θ = ω t = ω R / v , then the cannonball arrives at the periphery at position number 3 at the same time as the target . No discussion of Coriolis force can arrive at this solution as simply , so the reason to treat this problem is to demonstrate Coriolis formalism in an easily visualized situation . Trajectory in the inertial frame ( edit ) The trajectory in the inertial frame ( denoted A ) is a straight line radial path at angle θ . The position of the cannonball in ( x , y ) coordinates at time t is : r A ( t ) = v t ( cos ⁡ θ , sin ⁡ θ ) . ( \ displaystyle \ mathbf ( r ) _ ( A ) ( t ) = vt \ \ left ( \ cos \ theta , \ \ sin \ theta \ right ) \ . ) In the turntable frame ( denoted B ) , the x - y axes rotate at angular rate ω , so the trajectory becomes : r B ( t ) = v t ( cos ⁡ ( θ − ω t ) , sin ⁡ ( θ − ω t ) ) , ( \ displaystyle \ mathbf ( r ) _ ( B ) ( t ) = vt \ \ left ( \ cos ( \ theta - \ omega t ) , \ \ sin ( \ theta - \ omega t ) \ right ) \ , ) and three examples of this result are plotted in the figure . Accelerations ( edit ) Components of acceleration ( edit ) To determine the components of acceleration , a general expression is used from the article fictitious force : a B = a A ( \ displaystyle \ mathbf ( a ) _ ( B ) = \ mathbf ( a ) _ ( A ) ) − 2 Ω × v B ( \ displaystyle ( ) - 2 ( \ boldsymbol ( \ Omega ) ) \ times \ mathbf ( v ) _ ( B ) ) − Ω × ( Ω × r B ) ( \ displaystyle ( ) - ( \ boldsymbol ( \ Omega ) ) \ times ( ( \ boldsymbol ( \ Omega ) ) \ times \ mathbf ( r ) _ ( B ) ) ) − d Ω d t × r B , ( \ displaystyle ( ) - ( \ frac ( d ( \ boldsymbol ( \ Omega ) ) ) ( dt ) ) \ times \ mathbf ( r ) _ ( B ) \ , ) in which the term in Ω × v is the Coriolis acceleration and the term in Ω × ( Ω × r ) is the centrifugal acceleration . The results are ( let α = θ − ωt ) : Ω × r B ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( \ Omega ) ) \ mathbf ( \ times r_ ( B ) ) ) = i j k 0 0 ω v t cos ⁡ α v t sin ⁡ α 0 ( \ displaystyle = ( \ begin ( vmatrix ) ( \ boldsymbol ( i ) ) & ( \ boldsymbol ( j ) ) & ( \ boldsymbol ( k ) ) \ \ 0&0& \ omega \ \ vt \ cos \ alpha &vt \ sin \ alpha &0 \ end ( vmatrix ) ) \ ) = ω t v ( − sin ⁡ α , cos ⁡ α ) , ( \ displaystyle = \ omega tv \ left ( - \ sin \ alpha , \ cos \ alpha \ right ) \ , ) Ω × ( Ω × r B ) ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( \ Omega \ \ times ) ) \ left ( ( \ boldsymbol ( \ Omega ) ) \ mathbf ( \ times r_ ( B ) ) \ right ) ) = i j k 0 0 ω − ω t v sin ⁡ α ω t v cos ⁡ α 0 , ( \ displaystyle = ( \ begin ( vmatrix ) ( \ boldsymbol ( i ) ) & ( \ boldsymbol ( j ) ) & ( \ boldsymbol ( k ) ) \ \ 0&0& \ omega \ \ - \ omega tv \ sin \ alpha & \ omega tv \ cos \ alpha &0 \ end ( vmatrix ) ) \ \ , ) Producing accelerations ( edit ) Producing a centrifugal acceleration : a C f g l ( \ displaystyle \ mathbf ( a_ ( \ mathrm ( Cfgl ) ) ) ) = ω 2 v t ( cos ⁡ α , sin ⁡ α ) = ω 2 r B ( t ) . ( \ displaystyle = \ omega ^ ( 2 ) vt \ left ( \ cos \ alpha , \ sin \ alpha \ right ) = \ omega ^ ( 2 ) \ mathbf ( r_ ( B ) ) ( t ) \ . ) Also : v B = d r B ( t ) d t = ( v cos ⁡ α + ω t v sin ⁡ α , ( \ displaystyle \ mathbf ( v_ ( B ) ) = ( \ frac ( d \ mathbf ( r_ ( B ) ) ( t ) ) ( dt ) ) = ( v \ cos \ alpha + \ omega t \ v \ sin \ alpha , ) v sin ⁡ α − ω t v cos ⁡ α , 0 ) , ( \ displaystyle \ v \ sin \ alpha - \ omega t \ v \ cos \ alpha , \ 0 ) \ \ , ) Ω × v B ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( \ Omega ) ) \ mathbf ( \ times v_ ( B ) ) ) = i j k 0 0 ω v cos ⁡ α v sin ⁡ α + ω t v sin ⁡ α − ω t v cos ⁡ α 0 , ( \ displaystyle = ( \ begin ( vmatrix ) \ !

( \ boldsymbol ( k ) ) \ \ 0&0& \ omega \ \ v \ cos \ alpha \ quad &v \ sin \ alpha \ quad & \ quad \ \ \ ; + \ omega t \ v \ sin \ alpha & \ ; - \ omega t \ v \ cos \ alpha &0 \ end ( vmatrix ) ) \ \ , ) producing a Coriolis acceleration : a C o r ( \ displaystyle \ mathbf ( a_ ( \ mathrm ( Cor ) ) ) ) = − 2 ( − ω v ( sin ⁡ α − ω t cos ⁡ α ) , ( \ displaystyle = - 2 \ left ( - \ omega v \ left ( \ sin \ alpha - \ omega t \ cos \ alpha \ right ) , \ right . ) ... ω v ( cos ⁡ α + ω t sin ⁡ α ) ) ( \ displaystyle \ left. ( \ color ( white ) ... ) \ \ omega v \ left ( \ cos \ alpha + \ omega t \ sin \ alpha \ right ) \ right ) \ ) = 2 ω v ( sin ⁡ α , − cos ⁡ α ) ( \ displaystyle = 2 \ omega v \ left ( \ sin \ alpha , \ - \ cos \ alpha \ right ) ) − 2 ω 2 r B ( t ) . ( \ displaystyle - 2 \ omega ^ ( 2 ) \ mathbf ( r_ ( B ) ) ( t ) \ . ) These accelerations are shown in the diagrams for a particular example . It is seen that the Coriolis acceleration not only cancels the centrifugal acceleration , but together they provide a net `` centripetal '' , radially inward component of acceleration ( that is , directed toward the center of rotation ) : a C p t l = − ω 2 r B ( t ) , ( \ displaystyle \ mathbf ( a_ ( \ mathrm ( Cptl ) ) ) = - \ omega ^ ( 2 ) \ mathbf ( r_ ( B ) ) ( t ) \ , ) and an additional component of acceleration perpendicular to r ( t ) : a C ⊥ ( \ displaystyle \ mathbf ( a_ ( C \ perp ) ) ) = 2 ω v ( sin ⁡ α , − cos ⁡ α ) . ( \ displaystyle = 2 \ omega v \ left ( \ sin \ alpha , \ - \ cos \ alpha \ right ) \ . ) The `` centripetal '' component of acceleration resembles that for circular motion at radius r , while the perpendicular component is velocity dependent , increasing with the radial velocity v and directed to the right of the velocity . The situation could be described as a circular motion combined with an `` apparent Coriolis acceleration '' of 2ωv . However , this is a rough labelling : a careful designation of the true centripetal force refers to a local reference frame that employs the directions normal and tangential to the path , not coordinates referred to the axis of rotation . These results also can be obtained directly by two time differentiations of r ( t ) . Agreement of the two approaches demonstrates that one could start from the general expression for fictitious acceleration above and derive the trajectories shown here . However , working from the acceleration to the trajectory is more complicated than the reverse procedure used here , which , of course , is made possible in this example by knowing the answer in advance . As a result of this analysis an important point appears : all the fictitious accelerations must be included to obtain the correct trajectory . In particular , besides the Coriolis acceleration , the centrifugal force plays an essential role . It is easy to get the impression from verbal discussions of the cannonball problem , which focus on displaying the Coriolis effect particularly , that the Coriolis force is the only factor that must be considered , but that is not so . A turntable for which the Coriolis force is the only factor is the parabolic turntable . A somewhat more complex situation is the idealized example of flight routes over long distances , where the centrifugal force of the path and aeronautical lift are countered by gravitational attraction . Tossed ball on a rotating carousel ( edit ) A carousel is rotating counter-clockwise . Left panel : a ball is tossed by a thrower at 12 : 00 o'clock and travels in a straight line to the center of the carousel . While it travels , the thrower circles in a counter-clockwise direction . Right panel : The ball 's motion as seen by the thrower , who now remains at 12 : 00 o'clock , because there is no rotation from their viewpoint . The figure illustrates a ball tossed from 12 : 00 o'clock toward the center of a counter-clockwise rotating carousel . On the left , the ball is seen by a stationary observer above the carousel , and the ball travels in a straight line to the center , while the ball - thrower rotates counter-clockwise with the carousel . On the right the ball is seen by an observer rotating with the carousel , so the ball - thrower appears to stay at 12 : 00 o'clock . The figure shows how the trajectory of the ball as seen by the rotating observer can be constructed . On the left , two arrows locate the ball relative to the ball - thrower . One of these arrows is from the thrower to the center of the carousel ( providing the ball - thrower 's line of sight ) , and the other points from the center of the carousel to the ball. ( This arrow gets shorter as the ball approaches the center . ) A shifted version of the two arrows is shown dotted . On the right is shown this same dotted pair of arrows , but now the pair are rigidly rotated so the arrow corresponding to the line of sight of the ball - thrower toward the center of the carousel is aligned with 12 : 00 o'clock . The other arrow of the pair locates the ball relative to the center of the carousel , providing the position of the ball as seen by the rotating observer . By following this procedure for several positions , the trajectory in the rotating frame of reference is established as shown by the curved path in the right - hand panel . The ball travels in the air , and there is no net force upon it . To the stationary observer the ball follows a straight - line path , so there is no problem squaring this trajectory with zero net force . However , the rotating observer sees a curved path . Kinematics insists that a force ( pushing to the right of the instantaneous direction of travel for a counter-clockwise rotation ) must be present to cause this curvature , so the rotating observer is forced to invoke a combination of centrifugal and Coriolis forces to provide the net force required to cause the curved trajectory . Bounced ball ( edit ) Bird 's - eye view of carousel . The carousel rotates clockwise . Two viewpoints are illustrated : that of the camera at the center of rotation rotating with the carousel ( left panel ) and that of the inertial ( stationary ) observer ( right panel ) . Both observers agree at any given time just how far the ball is from the center of the carousel , but not on its orientation . Time intervals are 1 / 10 of time from launch to bounce . The figure describes a more complex situation where the tossed ball on a turntable bounces off the edge of the carousel and then returns to the tosser , who catches the ball . The effect of Coriolis force on its trajectory is shown again as seen by two observers : an observer ( referred to as the `` camera '' ) that rotates with the carousel , and an inertial observer . The figure shows a bird 's - eye view based upon the same ball speed on forward and return paths . Within each circle , plotted dots show the same time points . In the left panel , from the camera 's viewpoint at the center of rotation , the tosser ( smiley face ) and the rail both are at fixed locations , and the ball makes a very considerable arc on its travel toward the rail , and takes a more direct route on the way back . From the ball tosser 's viewpoint , the ball seems to return more quickly than it went ( because the tosser is rotating toward the ball on the return flight ) . On the carousel , instead of tossing the ball straight at a rail to bounce back , the tosser must throw the ball toward the right of the target and the ball then seems to the camera to bear continuously to the left of its direction of travel to hit the rail ( left because the carousel is turning clockwise ) . The ball appears to bear to the left from direction of travel on both inward and return trajectories . The curved path demands this observer to recognize a leftward net force on the ball . ( This force is `` fictitious '' because it disappears for a stationary observer , as is discussed shortly . ) For some angles of launch , a path has portions where the trajectory is approximately radial , and Coriolis force is primarily responsible for the apparent deflection of the ball ( centrifugal force is radial from the center of rotation , and causes little deflection on these segments ) . When a path curves away from radial , however , centrifugal force contributes significantly to deflection . The ball 's path through the air is straight when viewed by observers standing on the ground ( right panel ) . In the right panel ( stationary observer ) , the ball tosser ( smiley face ) is at 12 o'clock and the rail the ball bounces from is at position one ( 1 ) . From the inertial viewer 's standpoint , positions one ( 1 ) , two ( 2 ) , three ( 3 ) are occupied in sequence . At position 2 the ball strikes the rail , and at position 3 the ball returns to the tosser . Straight - line paths are followed because the ball is in free flight , so this observer requires that no net force is applied . Applied to the Earth ( edit ) An important case where the Coriolis force is observed is the rotating Earth . Unless otherwise stated , directions of forces and motion apply to the Northern Hemisphere . Intuitive explanation ( edit ) As the Earth turns around its axis , everything attached to it turns with it ( imperceptibly to our senses ) . An object that is moving without being dragged along with this rotation travels in a straight motion over the turning Earth . From our rotating perspective on the planet , its direction of motion changes as it moves , bending in the opposite direction to our actual motion . When viewed from a stationary point in space directly above the north pole , any land feature in the Northern Hemisphere turns anticlockwise -- and , fixing our gaze on that location , any other location in that hemisphere rotates around it the same way . The traced ground path of a freely moving body travelling from one point to another therefore bends the opposite way , clockwise , which is conventionally labeled as `` right , '' where it will be if the direction of motion is considered `` ahead , '' and `` down '' is defined naturally . Rotating sphere ( edit ) Coordinate system at latitude φ with x-axis east , y - axis north and z - axis upward ( that is , radially outward from center of sphere ) . Consider a location with latitude φ on a sphere that is rotating around the north - south axis . A local coordinate system is set up with the x axis horizontally due east , the y axis horizontally due north and the z axis vertically upwards . The rotation vector , velocity of movement and Coriolis acceleration expressed in this local coordinate system ( listing components in the order east ( e ) , north ( n ) and upward ( u ) ) are : Ω = ω ( 0 cos ⁡ φ sin ⁡ φ ) , ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( \ Omega ) ) = \ omega ( \ begin ( pmatrix ) 0 \ \ \ cos \ varphi \ \ \ sin \ varphi \ end ( pmatrix ) ) \ , ) v = ( v e v n v u ) , ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( v ) ) = ( \ begin ( pmatrix ) v_ ( e ) \ \ v_ ( n ) \ \ v_ ( u ) \ end ( pmatrix ) ) \ , ) a C = − 2 Ω × v = 2 ω ( v n sin ⁡ φ − v u cos ⁡ φ − v e sin ⁡ φ v e cos ⁡ φ ) . ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( a ) ) _ ( C ) = - 2 ( \ boldsymbol ( \ Omega \ times v ) ) = 2 \ , \ omega \ , ( \ begin ( pmatrix ) v_ ( n ) \ sin \ varphi - v_ ( u ) \ cos \ varphi \ \ - v_ ( e ) \ sin \ varphi \ \ v_ ( e ) \ cos \ varphi \ end ( pmatrix ) ) \ . ) When considering atmospheric or oceanic dynamics , the vertical velocity is small , and the vertical component of the Coriolis acceleration is small compared to gravity . For such cases , only the horizontal ( east and north ) components matter . The restriction of the above to the horizontal plane is ( setting v = 0 ) : v = ( v e v n ) , ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( v ) ) = ( \ begin ( pmatrix ) v_ ( e ) \ \ v_ ( n ) \ end ( pmatrix ) ) \ , ) a c = ( v n − v e ) f , ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( a ) ) _ ( c ) = ( \ begin ( pmatrix ) v_ ( n ) \ \ - v_ ( e ) \ end ( pmatrix ) ) \ f \ , ) where f = 2 ω sin ⁡ φ ( \ displaystyle f = 2 \ omega \ sin \ varphi \ , ) is called the Coriolis parameter . By setting v = 0 , it can be seen immediately that ( for positive φ and ω ) a movement due east results in an acceleration due south . Similarly , setting v = 0 , it is seen that a movement due north results in an acceleration due east . In general , observed horizontally , looking along the direction of the movement causing the acceleration , the acceleration always is turned 90 ° to the right and of the same size regardless of the horizontal orientation . As a different case , consider equatorial motion setting φ = 0 ° . In this case , Ω is parallel to the north or n - axis , and : Ω = ω ( 0 1 0 ) , ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( \ Omega ) ) = \ omega ( \ begin ( pmatrix ) 0 \ \ 1 \ \ 0 \ end ( pmatrix ) ) \ , ) v = ( v e v n v u ) , ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( v ) ) = ( \ begin ( pmatrix ) v_ ( e ) \ \ v_ ( n ) \ \ v_ ( u ) \ end ( pmatrix ) ) \ , ) a C = − 2 Ω × v = 2 ω ( − v u 0 v e ) . ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( a ) ) _ ( C ) = - 2 ( \ boldsymbol ( \ Omega \ times v ) ) = 2 \ , \ omega \ , ( \ begin ( pmatrix ) - v_ ( u ) \ \ 0 \ \ v_ ( e ) \ end ( pmatrix ) ) \ . ) Accordingly , an eastward motion ( that is , in the same direction as the rotation of the sphere ) provides an upward acceleration known as the Eötvös effect , and an upward motion produces an acceleration due west .

Meteorology ( edit ) This low - pressure system over Iceland spins counterclockwise due to balance between the Coriolis force and the pressure gradient force . Schematic representation of flow around a low - pressure area in the Northern Hemisphere . The Rossby number is low , so the centrifugal force is virtually negligible . The pressure - gradient force is represented by blue arrows , the Coriolis acceleration ( always perpendicular to the velocity ) by red arrows Schematic representation of inertial circles of air masses in the absence of other forces , calculated for a wind speed of approximately 50 to 70 m / s ( 110 to 160 mph ) . Cloud formations in a famous image of Earth from Apollo 17 , makes similar circulation directly visible Perhaps the most important impact of the Coriolis effect is in the large - scale dynamics of the oceans and the atmosphere . In meteorology and oceanography , it is convenient to postulate a rotating frame of reference wherein the Earth is stationary . In accommodation of that provisional postulation , the centrifugal and Coriolis forces are introduced . Their relative importance is determined by the applicable Rossby numbers . Tornadoes have high Rossby numbers , so , while tornado - associated centrifugal forces are quite substantial , Coriolis forces associated with tornadoes are for practical purposes negligible . Because surface ocean currents are driven by the movement of wind over the water 's surface , the Coriolis force also affects the movement of ocean currents and cyclones as well . Many of the ocean 's largest currents circulate around warm , high - pressure areas called gyres . Though the circulation is not as significant as that in the air , the deflection caused by the Coriolis effect is what creates the spiraling pattern in these gyres . The spiraling wind pattern helps the hurricane form . The stronger the force from the Coriolis effect , the faster the wind spins and picks up additional energy , increasing the strength of the hurricane . Air within high - pressure systems rotates in a direction such that the Coriolis force is directed radially inwards , and nearly balanced by the outwardly radial pressure gradient . As a result , air travels clockwise around high pressure in the Northern Hemisphere and anticlockwise in the Southern Hemisphere . Air around low - pressure rotates in the opposite direction , so that the Coriolis force is directed radially outward and nearly balances an inwardly radial pressure gradient . Flow around a low - pressure area ( edit ) Main article : Low - pressure area If a low - pressure area forms in the atmosphere , air tends to flow in towards it , but is deflected perpendicular to its velocity by the Coriolis force . A system of equilibrium can then establish itself creating circular movement , or a cyclonic flow . Because the Rossby number is low , the force balance is largely between the pressure gradient force acting towards the low - pressure area and the Coriolis force acting away from the center of the low pressure . Instead of flowing down the gradient , large scale motions in the atmosphere and ocean tend to occur perpendicular to the pressure gradient . This is known as geostrophic flow . On a non-rotating planet , fluid would flow along the straightest possible line , quickly eliminating pressure gradients . Note that the geostrophic balance is thus very different from the case of `` inertial motions '' ( see below ) , which explains why mid-latitude cyclones are larger by an order of magnitude than inertial circle flow would be . This pattern of deflection , and the direction of movement , is called Buys - Ballot 's law . In the atmosphere , the pattern of flow is called a cyclone . In the Northern Hemisphere the direction of movement around a low - pressure area is anticlockwise . In the Southern Hemisphere , the direction of movement is clockwise because the rotational dynamics is a mirror image there . At high altitudes , outward - spreading air rotates in the opposite direction . Cyclones rarely form along the equator due to the weak Coriolis effect present in this region . Inertial circles ( edit ) An air or water mass moving with speed v ( \ displaystyle v \ , ) subject only to the Coriolis force travels in a circular trajectory called an ' inertial circle ' . Since the force is directed at right angles to the motion of the particle , it moves with a constant speed around a circle whose radius R ( \ displaystyle R ) is given by : R = v f ( \ displaystyle R = ( \ frac ( v ) ( f ) ) \ , ) where f ( \ displaystyle f ) is the Coriolis parameter 2 Ω sin ⁡ φ ( \ displaystyle 2 \ Omega \ sin \ varphi ) , introduced above ( where φ ( \ displaystyle \ varphi ) is the latitude ) . The time taken for the mass to complete a full circle is therefore 2 π / f ( \ displaystyle 2 \ pi / f ) . The Coriolis parameter typically has a mid-latitude value of about 10 s ; hence for a typical atmospheric speed of 10 m / s ( 22 mph ) the radius is 100 km ( 62 mi ) , with a period of about 17 hours . For an ocean current with a typical speed of 10 cm / s ( 0.22 mph ) , the radius of an inertial circle is 1 km ( 0.6 mi ) . These inertial circles are clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere ( where trajectories are bent to the right ) and anticlockwise in the Southern Hemisphere . If the rotating system is a parabolic turntable , then f ( \ displaystyle f ) is constant and the trajectories are exact circles . On a rotating planet , f ( \ displaystyle f ) varies with latitude and the paths of particles do not form exact circles . Since the parameter f ( \ displaystyle f ) varies as the sine of the latitude , the radius of the oscillations associated with a given speed are smallest at the poles ( latitude = ± 90 ° ) , and increase toward the equator . Other terrestrial effects ( edit ) The Coriolis effect strongly affects the large - scale oceanic and atmospheric circulation , leading to the formation of robust features like jet streams and western boundary currents . Such features are in geostrophic balance , meaning that the Coriolis and pressure gradient forces balance each other . Coriolis acceleration is also responsible for the propagation of many types of waves in the ocean and atmosphere , including Rossby waves and Kelvin waves . It is also instrumental in the so - called Ekman dynamics in the ocean , and in the establishment of the large - scale ocean flow pattern called the Sverdrup balance . Eötvös effect ( edit ) Main article : Eötvös effect The practical impact of the `` Coriolis effect '' is mostly caused by the horizontal acceleration component produced by horizontal motion . There are other components of the Coriolis effect . Westward - travelling objects are deflected downwards ( feel heavier ) , while Eastward - travelling objects are deflected upwards ( feel lighter ) . This is known as the Eötvös effect . This aspect of the Coriolis effect is greatest near the equator . The force produced by this effect is similar to the horizontal component , but the much larger vertical forces due to gravity and pressure mean that it is generally unimportant dynamically . In addition , objects travelling upwards ( i.e. , out ) or downwards ( i.e. , in ) are deflected to the west or east respectively . This effect is also the greatest near the equator . Since vertical movement is usually of limited extent and duration , the size of the effect is smaller and requires precise instruments to detect . However , in the case of large changes of momentum , such as a spacecraft being launched into orbit , the effect becomes significant . The fastest and most fuel - efficient path to orbit is a launch from the equator that curves to a directly eastward heading . Intuitive example ( edit ) Imagine a train that travels through a frictionless railway line along the equator . Assume that , when in motion , it moves at the necessary speed to complete a trip around the world in one day ( 465 m / s ) . The Coriolis effect can be considered in three cases : when the train travels west , when it is at rest , and when it travels east . In each case , the Coriolis effect can be calculated from the rotating frame of reference on Earth first , and then checked against a fixed inertial frame . The image below illustrates the three cases in an inertial frame as observed from a fixed point above Earth along its axis of rotation : 1 . The train travels toward the west : In that case , it moves against the direction of rotation . Therefore , on the Earth 's rotating frame the Coriolis term is pointed inwards towards the axis of rotation ( down ) . This additional force downwards should cause the train to be heavier while moving in that direction . If one looks at this train from the fixed non-rotating frame on top of the center of the Earth , at that speed it remains stationary as the Earth spins beneath it . Hence , the only force acting on it is gravity and the reaction from the track . This force is greater ( by 0.34 % ) than the force that the passengers and the train experience when at rest ( rotating along with Earth ) . This difference is what the Coriolis effect accounts for in the rotating frame of reference . 2 . The train comes to a stop : From the point of view on the Earth 's rotating frame , the velocity of the train is zero , thus the Coriolis force is also zero and the train and its passengers recuperate their usual weight . From the fixed inertial frame of reference above Earth , the train now rotates along with the rest of the Earth. 0.34 % of the force of gravity provides the centripetal force needed to achieve the circular motion on that frame of reference . The remaining force , as measured by a scale , makes the train and passengers `` lighter '' than in the previous case . 3 . The train travels east . In this case , because it moves in the direction of Earth 's rotating frame , the Coriolis term is directed outward from the axis of rotation ( up ) . This upward force makes the train seem lighter still than when at rest . Graph of the force experienced by a 10 kilograms object as a function of its speed moving along Earth 's equator ( as measured within the rotating frame ) . ( Positive force in the graph is directed upward . Positive speed is directed eastward and negative speed is directed westward ) . From the fixed inertial frame of reference above Earth , the train travelling east now rotates at twice the rate as when it was at rest -- so the amount of centripetal force needed to cause that circular path increases leaving less force from gravity to act on the track . This is what the Coriolis term accounts for on the previous paragraph . As a final check one can imagine a frame of reference rotating along with the train . Such frame would be rotating at twice the angular velocity as Earth 's rotating frame . The resulting centrifugal force component for that imaginary frame would be greater . Since the train and its passengers are at rest , that would be the only component in that frame explaining again why the train and the passengers are lighter than in the previous two cases . This also explains why high speed projectiles that travel west are deflected down , and those that travel east are deflected up . This vertical component of the Coriolis effect is called the Eötvös effect . The above example can be used to explain why the Eötvös effect starts diminishing when an object is travelling westward as its tangential speed increases above Earth 's rotation ( 465 m / s ) . If the westward train in the above example increases speed , part of the force of gravity that pushes against the track accounts for the centripetal force needed to keep it in circular motion on the inertial frame . Once the train doubles its westward speed at 930 m / s that centripetal force becomes equal to the force the train experiences when it stops . From the inertial frame , in both cases it rotates at the same speed but in the opposite directions . Thus , the force is the same cancelling completely the Eötvös effect . Any object that moves westward at a speed above 930 m / s experiences an upward force instead . In the figure , the Eötvös effect is illustrated for a 10 kilogram object on the train at different speeds . The parabolic shape is because the centripetal force is proportional to the square of the tangential speed . On the inertial frame , the bottom of the parabola is centered at the origin . The offset is because this argument uses the Earth 's rotating frame of reference . The graph shows that the Eötvös effect is not symmetrical , and that the resulting downward force experienced by an object that travels west at high velocity is less than the resulting upward force when it travels east at the same speed . Draining in bathtubs and toilets ( edit ) Contrary to popular misconception , water rotation in home bathrooms under normal circumstances is not related to the Coriolis effect or to the rotation of the Earth , and no consistent difference in rotation direction between toilet drainage in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres can be observed . The formation of a vortex over the plug hole may be explained by the conservation of angular momentum : The radius of rotation decreases as water approaches the plug hole , so the rate of rotation increases , for the same reason that an ice skater 's rate of spin increases as they pull their arms in . Any rotation around the plug hole that is initially present accelerates as water moves inward . Of course , the Coriolis force does still impact the direction of the flow of water , but only minutely . Only if the water is so still that the effective rotation rate of the Earth is faster than that of the water relative to its container , and if externally applied torques ( such as might be caused by flow over an uneven bottom surface ) are small enough , the Coriolis effect may indeed determine the direction of the vortex . Without such careful preparation , the Coriolis effect is likely to be much smaller than various other influences on drain direction such as any residual rotation of the water and the geometry of the container . Despite this , the idea that toilets and bathtubs drain differently in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres has been popularized by several television programs and films , including Escape Plan , Wedding Crashers , The Simpsons episode `` Bart vs. Australia '' , Pole to Pole , and The X-Files episode `` Die Hand Die Verletzt '' . Several science broadcasts and publications , including at least one college - level physics textbook , have also stated this . In 1908 , the Austrian physicist Ottokar Tumlirz described careful and effective experiments that demonstrated the effect of the rotation of the Earth on the outflow of water through a central aperture . The subject was later popularized in a famous 1962 article in the journal Nature , which described an experiment in which all other forces to the system were removed by filling a 6 ft ( 1.8 m ) tank with 300 U.S. gal ( 1,100 L ) of water and allowing it to settle for 24 hours ( to allow any movement due to filling the tank to die away ) , in a room where the temperature had stabilized . The drain plug was then very slowly removed , and tiny pieces of floating wood were used to observe rotation . During the first 12 to 15 minutes , no rotation was observed . Then , a vortex appeared and consistently began to rotate in an anticlockwise direction ( the experiment was performed in Boston , Massachusetts , in the Northern Hemisphere ) . This was repeated and the results averaged to make sure the effect was real . The report noted that the vortex rotated , `` about 30,000 times faster than the effective rotation of the Earth in 42 ° North ( the experiment 's location ) '' . This shows that the small initial rotation due to the Earth is amplified by gravitational draining and conservation of angular momentum to become a rapid vortex and may be observed under carefully controlled laboratory conditions . Ballistic trajectories ( edit ) The Coriolis force is important in external ballistics for calculating the trajectories of very long - range artillery shells . The most famous historical example was the Paris gun , used by the Germans during World War I to bombard Paris from a range of about 120 km ( 75 mi ) . The Coriolis force minutely changes the trajectory of a bullet , affecting accuracy at extremely long distances . It is adjusted for by accurate long - distance shooters , such as snipers . Unlike large - scale motions of air in the atmosphere or water in the ocean , a bullet 's path is not constrained to be horizontal , and the vertical component of the Coriolis force is often more important than the horizontal component : westward shots hit low , and eastward shots hit high . The effects of the Coriolis force on ballistic trajectories should not be confused with the curvature of the paths of missiles , satellites , and similar objects when the paths are plotted on two - dimensional ( flat ) maps , such as the Mercator projection . The projections of the three - dimensional curved surface of the Earth to a two - dimensional surface ( the map ) necessarily results in distorted features . The apparent curvature of the path is a consequence of the sphericity of the Earth and would occur even in a non-rotating frame . Visualization of the Coriolis effect ( edit ) Fluid assuming a parabolic shape as it is rotating Object moving frictionlessly over the surface of a very shallow parabolic dish . The object has been released in such a way that it follows an elliptical trajectory . Left : The inertial point of view . Right : The co-rotating point of view . The forces at play in the case of a curved surface . Red : gravity Green : the normal force Blue : the net resultant centripetal force . To demonstrate the Coriolis effect , a parabolic turntable can be used . On a flat turntable , the inertia of a co-rotating object forces it off the edge . However , if the turntable surface has the correct paraboloid ( parabolic bowl ) shape ( see the figure ) and rotates at the corresponding rate , the force components shown in the figure make the component of gravity tangential to the bowl surface exactly equal to the centripetal force necessary to keep the object rotating at its velocity and radius of curvature ( assuming no friction ) . ( See banked turn . ) This carefully contoured surface allows the Coriolis force to be displayed in isolation . Discs cut from cylinders of dry ice can be used as pucks , moving around almost frictionlessly over the surface of the parabolic turntable , allowing effects of Coriolis on dynamic phenomena to show themselves . To get a view of the motions as seen from the reference frame rotating with the turntable , a video camera is attached to the turntable so as to co-rotate with the turntable , with results as shown in the figure . In the left panel of the figure , which is the viewpoint of a stationary observer , the gravitational force in the inertial frame pulling the object toward the center ( bottom ) of the dish is proportional to the distance of the object from the center . A centripetal force of this form causes the elliptical motion . In the right panel , which shows the viewpoint of the rotating frame , the inward gravitational force in the rotating frame ( the same force as in the inertial frame ) is balanced by the outward centrifugal force ( present only in the rotating frame ) . With these two forces balanced , in the rotating frame the only unbalanced force is Coriolis ( also present only in the rotating frame ) , and the motion is an inertial circle . Analysis and observation of circular motion in the rotating frame is a simplification compared to analysis or observation of elliptical motion in the inertial frame . Because this reference frame rotates several times a minute rather than only once a day like the Earth , the Coriolis acceleration produced is many times larger and so easier to observe on small time and spatial scales than is the Coriolis acceleration caused by the rotation of the Earth . In a manner of speaking , the Earth is analogous to such a turntable . The rotation has caused the planet to settle on a spheroid shape , such that the normal force , the gravitational force and the centrifugal force exactly balance each other on a `` horizontal '' surface . ( See equatorial bulge . ) The Coriolis effect caused by the rotation of the Earth can be seen indirectly through the motion of a Foucault pendulum . Coriolis effects in other areas ( edit ) Coriolis flow meter ( edit ) A practical application of the Coriolis effect is the mass flow meter , an instrument that measures the mass flow rate and density of a fluid flowing through a tube . The operating principle involves inducing a vibration of the tube through which the fluid passes . The vibration , though not completely circular , provides the rotating reference frame that gives rise to the Coriolis effect . While specific methods vary according to the design of the flow meter , sensors monitor and analyze changes in frequency , phase shift , and amplitude of the vibrating flow tubes . The changes observed represent the mass flow rate and density of the fluid . Molecular physics ( edit ) In polyatomic molecules , the molecule motion can be described by a rigid body rotation and internal vibration of atoms about their equilibrium position . As a result of the vibrations of the atoms , the atoms are in motion relative to the rotating coordinate system of the molecule . Coriolis effects are therefore present , and make the atoms move in a direction perpendicular to the original oscillations . This leads to a mixing in molecular spectra between the rotational and vibrational levels , from which Coriolis coupling constants can be determined . Gyroscopic precession ( edit ) When an external torque is applied to a spinning gyroscope along an axis that is at right angles to the spin axis , the rim velocity that is associated with the spin becomes radially directed in relation to the external torque axis . This causes a Coriolis force to act on the rim in such a way as to tilt the gyroscope at right angles to the direction that the external torque would have tilted it . This tendency has the effect of keeping spinning bodies stably aligned in space . Insect flight ( edit ) Flies ( Diptera ) and some moths ( Lepidoptera ) exploit the Coriolis effect in flight with specialized appendages and organs that relay information about the angular velocity of their bodies . Coriolis forces resulting from linear motion of these appendages are detected within the rotating frame of reference of the insects ' bodies . In the case of flies , their specialized appendages are dumbbell shaped organs located just behind their wings called `` halteres '' . The fly 's halteres oscillate in a plane at the same beat frequency as the main wings so that any body rotation results in lateral deviation of the halteres from their plane of motion . In moths , their antennae are known to be responsible for the sensing of Coriolis forces in the similar manner as with the halteres in flies . In both flies and moths , a collection of mechanosensors at the base of the appendage are sensitive to deviations at the beat frequency , correlating to rotation in the pitch and roll planes , and at twice the beat frequency , correlating to rotation in the yaw plane . Lagrangian point stability ( edit ) In astronomy , Lagrangian points are five positions in the orbital plane of two large orbiting bodies where a small object affected only by gravity can maintain a stable position relative to the two large bodies . The first three Lagrangian points ( L , L , L ) lie along the line connecting the two large bodies , while the last two points ( L and L ) each form an equilateral triangle with the two large bodies . The L and L points , although they correspond to maxima of the effective potential in the coordinate frame that rotates with the two large bodies , are stable due to the Coriolis effect . The stability can result in orbits around just L or L , known as Tadpole orbits , where trojans can be found . It can also result in orbits that encircle L , L , and L , known as horseshoe orbits .

coriolosis component of acceleration can be found in

In popular ( non-technical ) usage of the term `` Coriolis effect '' , the rotating reference frame implied is almost always the Earth . Because the Earth spins , Earth - bound observers need to account for the Coriolis force to correctly analyze the motion of objects . The Earth completes one rotation per day , so for motions of everyday objects the Coriolis force is usually quite small compared to other forces ; its effects generally become noticeable only for motions occurring over large distances and long periods of time , such as large - scale movement of air in the atmosphere or water in the ocean . Such motions are constrained by the surface of the Earth , so only the horizontal component of the Coriolis force is generally important . This force causes moving objects on the surface of the Earth to be deflected to the right ( with respect to the direction of travel ) in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere . The horizontal deflection effect is greater near the poles , since the effective rotation rate about a local vertical axis is largest there , and decreases to zero at the equator . Rather than flowing directly from areas of high pressure to low pressure , as they would in a non-rotating system , winds and currents tend to flow to the right of this direction north of the equator and to the left of this direction south of it . This effect is responsible for the rotation of large cyclones ( see Coriolis effects in meteorology ) .

At the time of the recording , Rockwell was estranged from his father and living with Ray Singleton , his father 's ex-wife and the mother of his older half - brother , Kerry Gordy . Singleton served as executive producer on the project and would occasionally play some demo tracks to Berry . The elder Gordy was less than enthusiastic about Rockwell 's music until he heard the single with a familiar voice featured prominently on background vocals . Produced by Curtis Anthony Nolen , the song featured backing vocals by Michael Jackson and Alan Murray on percussion . Due in part to the popularity of the music video , the song is sometimes used for Halloween celebrations , with cover versions found in various collections of Halloween music . Composition ( edit ) The song is written in the key of C - sharp minor in 4 4 time with a tempo of 124 beats per minute . The vocals span from C to C . Music video ( edit ) The single 's music video underscores the song 's paranoid tone with a haunted house - inspired theme , including imagery of floating heads , ravens , graveyards , and shower scenes referencing Psycho . Plot ( edit ) The video opens with Rockwell coming home to discover that the wrong newspaper has been delivered to his doorstep . As he takes a quick shower , he begins to have strange visions ( in a manner recalling The Dead Zone ) of himself being pursued around his house by assorted ghoulish appartions , of the looming figure of a cadaverous - looking man , and of finding a tombstone engraved with his own name . His shower is interrupted when he hears something outside and goes out on his balcony to investigate . He is shocked to see the man from his visions standing at his gate , but as he struggles to get a better look in spite of the sun in his face he is greatly relieved to see that he is merely a mailman , come to deliver the correct newspaper . As the mailman walks up the path towards the front porch , however , a brief close - up of his arm reveals that he is , in fact , a zombie . Rockwell emerges onto the porch to receive the paper , which the mailman genially hands over . As the mailman brings his other arm around to strike , Rockwell has just enough time to notice that he is not human .

A Billboard editor noted it features some electric guitar and `` strained '' vocals on the chorus . As the upbeat track progresses , it incorporates handclaps , funky guitar riffs , and foot - tapping bass . The pre-chorus was inspired by early works of Timbaland and Justin Timberlake . Critical reception ( edit ) Writing for Billboard , Taylor Weatherby noted `` the song 's sound falls right in line with the guitar - laced goodness he brought on his sophomore effort , but this time bringing in a little more edge . '' Allison Bowsher for Much opined the sound `` is a return to the earworms that launched Mendes ' career back in 2015 . Reminiscent of the high energy pop sensibilities of Mendes ' `` Something Big , '' today 's new track plays with lifts and falls throughout , allowing Mendes to show off the strength of his voice . '' In MTV News , Madeline Roth thought the track is `` more danceable than anything in his catalog . His voice is gritty and hoarse , especially on the passionate , aggressive hook . '' Live performances ( edit ) `` There 's Nothing Holdin ' Me Back '' is featured on the Illuminate World Tour setlist . The singer performed the single on The Graham Norton Show on June 9 , 2017 , at Capital FM 's Summertime Ball 2017 on June 10 , The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on June 19 and at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards on August 27 .

A hard and brittle crystalline solid with a blue - grey metallic lustre , it is a tetravalent metalloid and semiconductor . It is a member of group 14 in the periodic table , along with carbon above it and germanium , tin , and lead below . It is rather unreactive , though less so than germanium , and has a very large chemical affinity for oxygen ; as such , it was first prepared and characterized in pure form only in 1823 by Jöns Jakob Berzelius . Silicon is the eighth most common element in the universe by mass , but very rarely occurs as the pure element in the Earth 's crust . It is most widely distributed in dusts , sands , planetoids , and planets as various forms of silicon dioxide ( silica ) or silicates . Over 90 % of the Earth 's crust is composed of silicate minerals , making silicon the second most abundant element in the Earth 's crust ( about 28 % by mass ) after oxygen . Most silicon is used commercially without being separated , and often with little processing of the natural minerals . Such use includes industrial construction with clays , silica sand , and stone . Silicates are used in Portland cement for mortar and stucco , and mixed with silica sand and gravel to make concrete for walkways , foundations , and roads . They are also used in whiteware ceramics such as porcelain , and in traditional quartz - based soda - lime glass and many other specialty glasses . Silicon compounds such as silicon carbide are used as abrasives and components of high - strength ceramics . Elemental silicon also has a large impact on the modern world economy . Most free silicon is used in the steel refining , aluminium - casting , and fine chemical industries ( often to make fumed silica ) . Even more visibly , the relatively small portion of very highly purified silicon used in semiconductor electronics ( < 10 % ) is essential to integrated circuits -- most computers , cell phones , and modern technology depend on it . Silicon is the basis of the widely used synthetic polymers called silicones . Silicon is an essential element in biology , although only tiny traces are required by animals . However , various sea sponges and microorganisms , such as diatoms and radiolaria , secrete skeletal structures made of silica . Silica is deposited in many plant tissues , such as in the bark and wood of Chrysobalanaceae and the silica cells and silicified trichomes of Cannabis sativa , horsetails and many grasses .

After an attempt to isolate silicon in 1808 , Sir Humphry Davy proposed the name `` silicium '' for silicon , from the Latin silex , silicis for flint , and adding the `` - ium '' ending because he believed it to be a metal . Most other languages use transliterated forms of Davy 's name , sometimes adapted to local phonology ( e.g. German Silizium , French silicium ) . A few others use instead a calque of the Latin root ( e.g. Russian кремний , from кремень `` flint '' ; Greek πυριτιο from πυρ `` fire '' ; Finnish pii from piikivi `` flint '' ) . In 1811 , Gay - Lussac and Thénard are thought to have prepared impure amorphous silicon , through the heating of recently isolated potassium metal with silicon tetrafluoride , but they did not purify and characterize the product , nor identify it as a new element . Silicon was given its present name in 1817 by Scottish chemist Thomas Thomson . He retained part of Davy 's name but added `` - on '' because he believed that silicon was a nonmetal similar to boron and carbon . In 1823 , Jöns Jacob Berzelius prepared amorphous silicon using approximately the same method as Gay - Lussac ( reducing potassium fluorosilicate with molten potassium metal ) , but purifying the product to a brown powder by repeatedly washing it . As a result , he is usually given credit for the element 's discovery . The same year , Berzelius became the first to prepare silicon tetrachloride ; silicon tetrafluoride had already been prepared long before in 1771 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele by dissolving silica in hydrofluoric acid . Silicon in its more common crystalline form was not prepared until 31 years later , by Deville . By electrolyzing a mixture of sodium chloride and aluminium chloride containing approximately 10 % silicon , he was able to obtain a slightly impure allotrope of silicon in 1854 . Later , more cost - effective methods have been developed to isolate several allotrope forms , the most recent being silicene in 2010 . Meanwhile , research on the chemistry of silicon continued ; Friedrich Wöhler discovered the first volatile hydrides of silicon , synthesising trichlorosilane in 1857 and silane itself in 1858 , but a detailed investigation of the silanes was only carried out in the early 20th century by Alfred Stock , despite early speculation on the matter dating as far back as the beginnings of synthetic organic chemistry in the 1830s . Similarly , the first organosilicon compound , tetraethylsilane , was synthesised by Charles Friedel and James Crafts in 1863 , but detailed characterisation of organosilicon chemisry was only done in the early 20th century by Frederick Kipping . Starting in the 1920s , the work of William Lawrence Bragg on X-ray crystallography successfully elucidated the compositions of the silicates , which had previously been known from analytical chemistry but had not yet been understood , together with Linus Pauling 's development of crystal chemistry and Victor Goldschmidt 's development of geochemistry . The middle of the 20th century saw the development of the chemistry and industrial use of siloxanes and the growing use of silicone polymers , elastomers , and resins . In the late 20th century , the complexity of the crystal chemistry of silicides was mapped , along with the solid - state chemistry of doped semiconductors . Because silicon is an important element in high - technology semiconductor devices , many places in the world bear its name . For example , Santa Clara Valley in California acquired the nickname Silicon Valley since the element is the base material used in the semiconductor industry located there . Since then , many other locations have been nicknamed for similar reasons . Characteristics Physical and atomic Silicon crystallizes in a diamond cubic crystal structure A silicon atom has fourteen electrons . In the ground state , they are arranged in the electron configuration ( Ne ) 3s 3p . Of these , four are valence electrons , occupying the 3s orbital and two of the 3p orbitals . Like the other members of its group , the lighter carbon and the heavier germanium , tin , and lead , it has the same number of valence electrons as valence orbitals : hence , it can complete its octet and obtain the stable noble gas configuration of argon by forming sp hybrid orbitals , forming tetrahedral SiX derivatives where the central silicon atom shares an electron pair with each of the four atoms it is bonded to . The first four ionisation energies of silicon are 786.3 , 1576.5 , 3228.3 , and 4354.4 kJ / mol respectively ; these figures are high enough to preclude the possibility of simple cationic chemistry for the element . Following periodic trends , its single - bond covalent radius of 117.6 pm is intermediate between those of carbon ( 77.2 pm ) and germanium ( 122.3 pm ) . The hexacoordinate ionic radius of silicon may be considered to be 40 pm , although this must be taken as a purely notional figure given the lack of a simple Si cation in reality . At standard temperature and pressure , silicon is a shiny semiconductor with a bluish - grey metallic lustre ; as typical for semiconductors , its resistivity drops with temperature . This arises because silicon has a small energy gap between its highest occupied energy levels ( the valence band ) and the lowest unoccupied ones ( the conduction band ) . The Fermi level is about halfway between these and is the energy at which a state is as likely to be occupied by an electron as not . Hence pure silicon is an insulator at room temperature . However , doping silicon with a pnictogen such as phosphorus , arsenic , or antimony introduces one extra electron per dopant and these may then be excited into the conduction band either thermally or photolytically , creating an n - type semiconductor . Similarly , doping silicon with a group 13 element such as boron , aluminium , and gallium results in the introduction of acceptor levels that trap electrons that may be excited from the filled valence band , creating a p - type semiconductor . Joining n - type silicon to p - type silicon creates a p-n junction with a common Fermi level ; electrons flow from n to p , while holes flow from p to n , creating a voltage drop . This p-n junction thus acts as a diode that can rectify alternating curent that allows current to pass more easily one way than the other . A transistor is an n-p-n junction , with a thin layer of weakly p - type silicon between two n - type regions . Biasing the emitter through a small forward voltage and the collector through a large reverse voltage allows the transistor to act as a triode amplifier . Silicon crystallises in a giant covalent structure at standard conditions , specifically in a diamond cubic lattice . It thus has a high melting point of 1414 ° C. It is not known to have any allotropes at standard pressure , but several other crystal structures are known at higher pressures . The general trend is one of increasing coordination number with pressure , culminating in a hexagonal close - packed allotrope at about 40 gigapascals known as Si -- VII ( the standard modification being Si -- I ) . Silicon boils at 3265 ° C : this , while high , is still lower than the temperature at which its lighter congener carbon sublimes ( 3642 ° C ) and silicon similarly has a lower heat of vaporisation than carbon , consistent with the fact that the Si -- Si bond is weaker than the C -- C bond . Isotopes Main article : isotopes of silicon Naturally occurring silicon is composed of three stable isotopes , Si ( 92.23 % ) , Si ( 4.67 % ) , and Si ( 3.10 % ) , with Si being the most abundant . Out of these , only Si is of use in NMR and EPR spectroscopy , as it is the only one with a nuclear spin ( I = 1 / 2 ) . All three are produced in stars through the oxygen - burning process . Twenty radioisotopes have been characterized , with the most stable being Si with a half - life of about 150 years , and Si with a half - life of 2.62 hours . All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half - lives that are less than seven seconds , and the majority of these have half - lives that are less than one tenth of a second . Silicon does not have any known nuclear isomers . Si undergoes low - energy beta decay to P and then stable S. Si may be produced by the neutron activation of natural silicon and is thus useful for quantitative analysis ; it can be easily detected by its characteristic beta decay to stable P , in which the emitted electron carries up to 1.48 MeV of energy . The known isotopes of silicon range in mass number from 22 to 44 . The most common decay mode of the isotopes with mass numbers lower than the three stable isotopes is inverse beta decay , primarily forming aluminium isotopes ( 13 protons ) as decay products . The most common decay mode for the heavier unstable isotopes is beta decay , primarily forming phosphorus isotopes ( 15 protons ) as decay products . Chemistry and compounds C -- X and Si -- X bond energies ( kJ / mol ) X = Si Cl Br O -- N < C -- X 368 360 435 453 351 293 216 ~ 360 ~ 305 Si -- X 360 340 393 565 381 310 234 452 322 Crystalline bulk silicon is rather inert , but becomes more reactive at high temperatures . Like its neighbour aluminium , silicon forms a thin , continuous surface layer of silicon dioxide ( SiO ) that protects the metal from oxidation . Thus silicon does not measurably react with the air below 900 ° C , but formation of the vitreous dioxide rapidly increases between 950 ° C and 1160 ° C and when 1400 ° C is reached , atmospheric nitrogen also reacts to give the nitrides SiN and Si N. Silicon reacts with gaseous sulfur at 600 ° C and gaseous phosphorus at 1000 ° C . This oxide layer nevertheless does not prevent reaction with the halogens ; fluorine attacks silicon vigorously at room temperature , chlorine does so at about 300 ° C , and bromine and iodine at about 500 ° C. Silicon does not react with most aqueous acids , but is oxidised and fluorinated by a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid ; it readily dissolves in hot aqueous alkali to form silicates . At high temperatures , silicon also reacts with alkyl halides ; this reaction can be catalysed by copper to directly synthesise organosilicon chlorides as precursors to silicone polymers . Upon melting , silicon becomes extremely reactive in the liquid state , alloying with most metals to form silicides , and reducing most metal oxides because the heat of formation of silicon dioxide is so large . As a result , containers for liquid silicon must be made of refractory , unreactive materials such as zirconium dioxide or group 4 , 5 , and 6 borides . Tetrahedral coordination is a major structural motif in silicon chemistry just as it is for carbon chemistry . However , the 3p subshell is rather more diffuse than the 2p subshell and does not hybridise as well with the 3s subshell . As a result , the chemistry of silicon and its heavier congeners shows significant differences from that of carbon , and thus octahedral coordination is also significant . For example , the electronegativity of silicon ( 1.90 ) is much less than that of carbon ( 2.55 ) , because the valence electrons of silicon are further from the nucleus than those of carbon and hence experience smaller electrostatic forces of attraction from the nucleus . The poor overlap of 3p orbitals also results in a much lower tendency towards catenation ( formation of Si -- Si bonds ) for silicon than for carbon due to the concomitant weakening of the Si -- Si bond compared to the C -- C bond : the average Si -- Si bond energy is approximately 226 kJ / mol , compared to a value of 356 kJ / mol for the C -- C bond . This results in multiply bonded silicon compounds generally being much less stable than their carbon counterparts , an example of the double bond rule . On the other hand , the presence of 3d orbitals in the valence shell of silicon suggests the possibility of hypervalence , as seen in five - and six - coordinate derivatives of silicon such as SiX − 5 and SiF 2 − 6 . Lastly , because of the increasing energy gap between the valence s and p orbitals as the group is descended , the divalent state grows in importance from carbon to lead , so that a few unstable divalent compounds are known for silicon ; this lowering of the main oxidation state , in tandem with increasing atomic radii , results in an increase of metallic character down the group . Silicon already shows some incipient metallic behaviour , particularly in the behaviour of its oxide compounds and its reaction with acids as well as bases ( though this takes some effort ) , and is hence often referred to as a metalloid rather than a nonmetal . However , metallicity does not become clear until germanium and dominant until tin , with the growing importance of the lower + 2 oxidation state . Silicon shows clear differences with carbon . For example , organic chemistry has very few analogies with silicon chemistry , while silicate minerals have a structural complexity unseen in oxocarbons . Silicon tends to resemble germanium far more than it does carbon , and this resemblance is enhanced by the d - block contraction resulting in the size of the germanium atom being much closer to that of the silicon atom than periodic trends would predict . Nevertheless , there are still some differences because of the growing importance of the divalent state in germanium compared to silicon , that result in germanium being significantly more metallic than silicon . Additionally , the lower Ge -- O bond strength compared to the Si -- O bond strength results in the absence of `` germanone '' polymers that would be analogous to silicone polymers . Silicides Main articles : Silicide and Binary compounds of silicon Phase diagram of the Fe -- Si system Many metal silicides are known , most of which have formulae that can not be explained through simple appeals to valence : their bonding ranges from metallic to ionic and covalent . Some known stoichiometries are M Si , M Si , M Si , M Si , M Si , M Si , M Si , M Si , M Si , MSi , M Si , MSi , MSi , and MSi . They are structurally more similar to the borides than the carbides , in keeping with the diagonal relationship between boron and silicon , although the larger size of silicon than boron means that exact structural analogies are few and far between . The heats of formation of the silicides are usually similar to those of the borides and carbides of the same elements , but they usually melt at lower temperatures . Silicides are known for all stable elements in groups 1 -- 10 , with the exception of beryllium : in particular , uranium and the transition metals of groups 4 -- 10 show the widest range of stoichiometries . Except for copper , the metals in groups 11 -- 15 do not form silicides . Most instead form eutectic mixtures , although the heaviest post-transition metals mercury , thallium , lead , and bismuth are completely immiscible with liquid silicon . Silicides are usually prepared by direct reaction of the elements . For example , the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals react with silicon or silicon oxide to give silicides . Nevertheless , even with these highly electropositive elements true silicon anions are not obtainable , and most of these compounds are semiconductors . For example , the alkali metal silicides ( M + ) 4 ( E4 − 4 ) contain pyramidal tricoordinate silicon in the Si 4 − 4 anion , isoeelctronic with white phosphorus , P. Metal - rich silicides tend to have isolated silicon atoms ( e.g. Cu Si ) ; with increasing silicon content , catenation increases , resulting in isolated clusters of two ( e.g. U Si ) or four silicon atoms ( e.g. ( K ) ( Si ) ) at first , followed by chains ( e.g. CaSi ) , layers ( e.g. CaSi ) , or three - dimensional networks of silicon atoms spanning space ( e.g. α - ThSi ) as the silicon content rises even higher . The silicides of the group 1 and 2 metals are usually more reactive than the transition metal silicides . The latter usually do not react with aqueous reagents , except for hydrofluoric acid ; however , they do react with much more aggressive reagents like liquid potassium hydroxide , or gaseous fluorine or chlorine when red - hot . The pre-transition metal silicides instead readily react with water and aqueous acids , usually producing hydrogen or silanes : Na Si + 3 H O → Na SiO + 3 H Mg Si + 2 H SO → 2 MgSO + SiH Products often vary with the stoichiometry of the silicide reactant . For example , Ca Si is polar and non-conducting and has the anti-PbCl structure with single isolated silicon atoms , and reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide , hydrated silicon dioxide , and hydrogen gas . CaSi with its zigzag chains of silicon atoms instead reacts to give silanes and polymeric SiH , while CaSi with its puckered layers of silicon atoms does not react with water , but will react with dilute hydrochloric acid : the product is a yellow polymeric solid with stoichiometry Si H O . Silanes Main article : Silanes Speculation on silicon hydride chemistry started from the 1830s , contemporary with the development of synthetic organic chemistry . Silane itself , as well as trichlorosilane , were first synthesised by Friedrich Wöhler and Heinrich Buff in 1857 by reacting aluminium -- silicon alloys with hydrochloric acid , and characterised as SiH and SiHCl by Charles Friedel and Albert Ladenburg in 1867 . Disilane ( Si H ) followed in 1902 , when it was first made by Henri Moissan and Samuel Smiles by the protonolysis of magnesium silicides . Further investigation had to wait until 1916 because of the great reactivity and thermal instability of the silanes ; it was then that Alfred Stock began the study of silicon hydrides in earnest with new greaseless vacuum techniques , as they were found as contaminants of his focus , the boron hydrides . The names silanes and boranes are due to him , based on analogy with the alkanes . Moissan and Smiles ' method of preparation of silanes and silane derivatives via protonolysis of metal silicides is still used , although the yield is lowered by the hydrolysis of the products that occurs simultaneously , and thus the preferred route today is to treat substituted silanes with hydride reducing agents such as lithium aluminium hydride in etheric solutions at low temperatures . Direct reaction of HX or RX with silicon , possibly with a catalyst such as copper , is also a viable method to produce substituted silanes . The silanes comprise a homologous series of silicon hydrides with the general formula Si H . They are all strong reducing agents . Unbranched and branched trains are known up to n = 8 , and the cycles Si H and Si H are also known . The first two , silane and disilane , are colourless gases ; the heavier members of the series are volatile liquids . All silanes are very reactive and catch fire or explode spontaneously in air . They become less thermally stable with room temperature , so that only silane is indefinitely stable at room temperature , although disilane does not decompose very quickly ( only 2.5 % of a sample decomposes after eight months have passed ) . They decompose to form polymeric polysilicon hydride and hydrogen gas . As expected from the difference in atomic weight , the silanes are less volatile than the corresponding alkanes and boranes , but more volatile than the corresponding germanes . They are much more reactive than the corresponding alkanes , because the larger radius of silicon compared to carbon facilitates nucleophilic attack at the silicon , the greater polarity of the Si -- H bond compared to the C -- H bond , and the ability of silicon to expand its octet and hence form adducts and lower the reaction 's activation energy . Silane pyrolysis gives polymeric species and finally elemental silicon and hydrogen ; indeed ultrapure silicon is commercially produced by the pyrolysis of silane . While the thermal decomposition of alkanes starts by the breaking of a C -- H or C -- C bond and the formation of radical intermediates , polysilanes decompose by eliminating silenes : SiH or : SiHR , as the activation energy of this process ( ~ 210 kJ / mol ) is much less than the Si -- Si and Si -- H bond energies . While pure silanes do not react with pure water or dilute acids , traces of alkali catalyse immediate hydrolysis to hydrated silicon dioxide . If the reaction is carried out in methanol , controlled solvolysis results in the products SiH ( OMe ) , SiH ( OMe ) , and Si ( OMe ) . The Si -- H bond also adds to alkenes , a reaction which proceeds slowly and speeds up with increasing substitution of the silane involved . At 450 ° C , silane participates in an addition reaction with acetone , as well as a ring - opening reaction with ethylene oxide . Direct reaction of the silanes with chlorine or bromine results in explosions at room temperature , but the reaction of silane with bromine at − 80 ° C is controlled and yields bromosilane and dibromosilane . The monohalosilanes may be formed by reacting silane with the appropriate hydrogen halide with an Al X catalyst , or by reacting silane with a solid silver halide in a heated flow reactor : SiH + 2 AgCl 260 ° C → SiH Cl + HCl + 2 Ag Among the derivatives of silane , iodosilane ( SiH I ) and potassium silanide ( KSiH ) are very useful synthetic intermediates in the production of more complicated silicon - containing compounds : the latter is a colourless crystalline ionic solid containing K cations and SiH − 3 anions in the NaCl structure , and is made by the reduction of silane by potassium metal . Additionally , the reactive hypervalent species SiH − 5 is also known . With suitable organic substituents it is possible to produce stable polysilanes : they have surprisingly high electric conductivities , arising from sigma delocalisation of the electrons in the chain . Halides Silicon and silicon carbide readily react with all four stable halogens , forming the colourless , reactive and volatile silicon tetrahalides . Silicon tetrafluoride may also be made by fluorinating the other silicon halides , and is produced by the attack of hydrofluoric acid on glass . Heating two different tetrahalides together also produce a random mixture of mixed halides , which may also be produced by halogen exchange reactions . The melting and boiling points of these species usually rise with increasing atomic weight , though there are many exceptions : for example , the melting and boiling points drop as one passes from SiFBr through SiFClBr to SiFCl Br . The shift from the hypoelectronic elements in group 13 and earlier to the group 14 elements is illustrated by the change from an infinite ionic structure in aluminium fluoride to a lattice of simple covalent silicon tetrafluoride molecules , as dictated by the lower electronegativity of aluminium than silicon , the stoichiometry ( the + 4 oxidation state being too high for true ionicity ) , and the smaller size of the silicon atom compared to the aluminium atom . Silicon tetrachloride is manufactured on a huge scale as a precursor to the production of pure silicon , silicon dioxide , and some silicon esters . The silicon tetrahalides hydrolyse readily in water , unlike the carbon tetrahalides , again because of the larger size of the silicon atom rendering it more open to nucleophilic attack and the ability of the silicon atom to expand its octet which carbon lacks . The reaction of silicon fluoride with excess hydrofluoric acid produces the octahedral hexafluorosilicate anion SiF 2 − 6 . Analogous to the silanes , halopolysilanes Si X are also known . While catenation in carbon compounds is maximised in the hydrogen compounds rather than the halides , the opposite is true for silicon , so that the halopolysilanes are known up to at least Si F , Si Cl , and Si Br . A suggested explanation for this phenomenon is the compensation for the electron loss of silicon to the more electronegative halogen atoms by pi backbonding from the filled p orbitals on the halogen atoms to the empty d orbitals on silicon : this is similar to the situation of carbon monoxide in metal carbonyl complexes and explains their stability . These halopolysilanes may be produced by comproportionation of silicon tetrahalides with elemental silicon , or by condensation of lighter halopolysilanes ( trimethylammonium being a useful catalyst for this reaction ) . Silica Silicon dioxide ( SiO ) , also known as silica , is one of the most well - studied compounds , second only to water . Twelve different crystal modifications of silica are known , the most common being α - quartz , a major constituent of many rocks such as granite and sandstone . It is also known to occur pure as rock crystal ; impure forms are known as rose quartz , smoky quartz , morion , amethyst , and citrine . Some poorly crystalline forms of quartz are also known , such as chalcedony , chrysoprase , carnelian , agate , onyx , jasper , heliotrope , and flint . Other modifications of silicon dioxide are known in some other minerals such as tridymite and cristobalite , as well as the much less common coesite and stishovite . Biologically generated forms are also known as kieselguhr and diatomaceous earth . Vitreous silicon dioxide is known as tectites , and obsidian , and rarely as lechatelierite . Some synthetic forms are known as keatite and W - silica . Opals are composed of complicated crystalline aggregates of partially hydrated silicon dioxide . Quartz Sandstone Smoky quartz Amethyst Citrine Agate Chrysoprase Onyx Jasper Heliotrope Tridymite Cristobalite Coesite Lechatelierite Most crystalline forms of silica are made of infinite arrangements of ( SiO ) tetrahedra connected at their corners , with each oxygen atom linked to two silicon atoms . In the thermodynamically stable room - temperature form , α - quartz , these tetrahedra are linked in intertwined helical chains with two different Si -- O distances ( 159.7 and 161.7 pm ) with a Si -- O -- Si angle of 144 ° . These helices can be either left - or right - handed , so that individual α - quartz crystals are optically active . At 537 ° C , this transforms quickly and reversibly into the similar β - quartz , with a change of the Si -- O -- Si angle to 155 ° but a retention of handedness . Further heating to 867 ° C results in another reversible phase transition to β - tridymite , in which some Si -- O bonds are broken to allow for the arrangement of the ( SiO ) tetrahedra into a more open and less dense hexagonal structure . This transition is slow and hence tridymite occurs as a metastable mineral even below this transition temperature ; when cooled to about 120 ° C it quickly and reversibly transforms by slight displacements of individual silicon and oxygen atoms to α - tridymite , similarly to the transition from α - quartz to β - quartz . β - tridymite slowly transforms to cubic β - cristobalite at about 1470 ° C , which once again exists metastably below this transition temperature and transforms at 200 -- 280 ° C to α - cristobalite via small atomic displacements . β - cristobalite melts at 1713 ° C ; the freezing of silica from themelt is quite slow and vitrification , or the formation of a glass , is likely to occur instead . In vitreous silica , the ( SiO ) tetrahedra remain corner - connected , but the symmetry and periodicity of the crystalline forms are lost . Because of the slow conversions between these three forms , it is possible upon rapid heating to melt β - quartz ( 1550 ° C ) or β - tridymite ( 1703 ° C ) . Silica boils at approximately 2800 ° C. Other high - pressure forms of silica are known , such as coesite and stishovite : these are known in nature , formed under the shock pressure of a meteorite impact and then rapidly quenched to preserve the crystal structure . Similar melting and cooling of silica occurs following lightning strikes , forming glassy lechatelierite . W - silica is an unstable low - density form involving ( SiO ) tetrahedra sharing opposite edges instead of corners , forming parallel chains similarly to silicon disulfide ( SiS ) and silicon diselenide ( SiSe ) : it quickly returns to forming amorphous silica with heat or traces of water . Condensed polysilicic acid Silica is rather inert chemically . It is not attacked by any acids other than hydrofluoric acid . However , it slowly dissolves in hot concentrated alkalis , and does so rather quickly in fused metal hydroxides or carbonates to give metal silicates . Among the elements , it is attacked only by fluorine at room temperature to form silicon tetrafluoride : hydrogen and carbon also react , but require temperatures over 1000 ° C to do so . Silica nevertheless reacts with many metal and metalloid oxides to form a wide variety of compounds important in the glass and ceramic industries above all , but also have many other uses : for example , sodium silicate is often used in detergents due to its buffering , saponifying , and emulsifying properties . Silicic acids Adding water to silica drops its melting point by around 800 ° C due to the breaking of the structure by replacing Si -- O -- Si linkages with terminating Si -- OH groups . Increasing water concentration results in the formation of hydrated silica gels and colloidal silica dispersions . Many hydrates and silicic acids exist in the most dilute of aqueous solutions , but these are rather insoluble and quickly precipitate and condense and cross-link to form various polysilicic acids of variable combinations following the formula ( SiO ( OH ) ) , similar to the behaviour of boron , aluminium , and iron , among other elements . Hence , although some simple silicic acids have been identified in dilute solutions , such as orthosilicic acid Si ( OH ) and metasilicic acid SiO ( OH ) , none of these are likely to exist in the solid state . Silicate minerals Main article : Silicate minerals Typical coordination of metal cations in silicates ( ionic radii in pm ) CN 4 Li ( 59 ) Be ( 27 ) Al ( 39 ) Si ( 26 ) CN 6 Na ( 102 ) Mg ( 72 ) Al ( 54 ) Ti ( 61 ) Fe ( 78 ) CN 8 K ( 151 ) Ca ( 112 ) CN 12 K ( 164 ) About 95 % of the Earth 's crustal rocks are made of silica or silicate and aluminosilicate minerals , as reflected in oxygen , silicon , and aluminium being the three most common elements in the crust ( in that order ) . Measured by mass , silicon makes up 27.7 % of the Earth 's crust . Pure silicon crystals are very rarely found in nature , but notable exceptions are crystals as large as to 0.3 mm across found during sampling gasses from the Kudriavy volcano on the island of Iturup , one of the Kuril Islands . Silicate and aluminosilicate minerals have many different structures and varying stoichiometry , but they may be classified following some general principles . Tetrahedral ( SiO ) units are common to almost all these compounds , either as discrete structures , or combined into larger units by the sharing of corner oxygen atoms . These may be divided into neso - silicates ( discrete ( SiO ) units ) sharing no oxygen atoms , soro - silicates ( discrete ( Si O ) units ) sharing one , cyclo - silicates ( closed ring structures ) and ino - silicates ( continuous chain or ribbon structures ) both sharing two , phyllo - silicates ( continuous sheets ) sharing three , and tecto - silicates ( continuous three - dimensional frameworks ) sharing four . The lattice of oxygen atoms that results is usually close - packed or close to it , with the charge being balanced by other cations in various different polyhedral sites according to size . The orthosilicates MII 2SiO 4 ( M = Be , Mg , Mn , Fe , Zn ) and ZrSiO are neso - silicates . Be SiO ( phenacite ) is rather unusual as both Be and Si occupy tetrahedral four - coordinated sites ; the other divalent cations instead occupy six - coordinated octahedral sites and often isomorphously replace each other as in olivine , ( Mg , Fe , Mn ) SiO . Zircon , ZrSiO , demands eight - coordination of the Zr cations due to stoichiometry and because of their larger ionic radius ( 84 pm ) . Also significant are the garnets , ( MII 3MIII 2 ( SiO 4 ) 3 ) , in which the divalent cations ( e.g. Ca , Mg , Fe ) are eight - coordinated and the trivalent ones are six - coordinated ( e.g. Al , Cr , Fe ) . Regular coordination is not always present : for example , it is not found in Ca SiO , which mixes six - and eight - coordinate sites for Ca . Soro - silicates , involving discrete double or triple tetrahedral units , are quite rare : metasilicates involving cyclic `` ( ( SiO ) ) '' units of corner - abutting tetrahedra forming a polygonal ring are also known . Chain metasilicates , ( SiO 2 − 3 ) ∞ , form by the corner - sharing of an indefinite chain of linked ( SiO ) tetrahedra . Many differences arise due to the differing repeat distances of conformation across the line of tetrahedra . A repeat distance of two is most common , as in most pyroxene minerals , but repeat distances of one , three , four , five , six , seven , nine , and twelve are also known . These chains can then link across each other to form double chains and ribbons , as in the asbestos minerals , involving repeated chains of cyclic tetrahedron rings . A typical zeolite structure Layer silicates , such as the clay minerals and the micas , are very common , and are often formed by horizontal cross-linking of metasilicate chains or planar condensation of smaller units . An example is kaolinite ( Al ( OH ) Si O ) ; in many of these minerals cation and anion replacement is common , so that for example tetrahedral Si may be replaced by Al , octahedral Al by Mg , and OH by F. Three - dimensional framework aluminosilicates are structurally very complex ; they may be conceived of as starting from the SiO structure , but having replaced up to one - half of the Si atoms with Al they require more cations to be included in the structure to balance charge . Examples include feldspars ( the most abundant minerals on the Earth ) , zeolites , and ultramarines . Many feldspars can be thought of as forming part of the ternary system NaAlSi O -- KAlSi O -- CaAl Si O. Their lattice is destroyed by high pressure prompting Al to undergo six - coordination rather than four - coordination , and this reaction destroying feldspars may be a reason for the Mohorovičić discontinuity , which would imply that the crust and mantle have the same chemical composition but different lattices , although this is not a universally held view . Zeolites have many polyhedral cavities in their frameworks ( truncated cuboctahedra being most common , but other polyhedra are also known as zeolite cavities ) , allowing them to include loosely bound molecules such as water in their structure . Ultramarines alternate silicon and aluminium atoms and include a variety of other anions such as Cl , SO 2 − 4 , and S2 − 2 , but are otherwise similar to the feldspars . Other Inorganic compounds Silicon disulfide ( SiS ) is formed by burning silicon in gaseous sulfur at 100 ° C ; sublimation of the resulting compound in nitrogen results in white , flexible long fibres reminiscent of asbestos with a structure similar to W - silica . This melts at 1090 ° C and sublimes at 1250 ° C ; at high temperature and pressure this transforms to a crystal structure analogous to cristobalite . However , SiS lacks the variety of structures of SiO , and quickly hydrolyses to silica and hydrogen sulfide . It is also ammonoloysed quickly and completely by liquid ammonia as follows to form an imide : SiS + 4 NH → Si ( NH ) + 2 NH SH It reacts with the sulfides of sodium , magnesium , aluminium , and iron to form metal thiosilicates : reaction with ethanol results in ethylsilicate Si ( OEt ) and hydrogen sulfide . Ethylsilicate is useful as its controlled hydrolysis produces adhesive or film - like forms of silica . Reacting hydrogen sulfide with silicon tetrahalides yields silicon thiohalides such as S ( SiCl ) , cyclic Cl Si ( μ - S ) SiCl , and crystalline ( SiSCl ) . Despite the double bond rule , stable organosilanethiones RR'Si = S have been made thanks to the stabilising mechanism of intermolecular coordination via an amine group . Silicon nitride , Si N , can be formed by directly reacting silicon with nitrogen above 1300 ° C , but a more economical means of production is by heating silica and coke in a stream of nitrogen and hydrogen gas at 1500 ° C. It would make a promising ceramic if not for the difficulty of working with and sintering it : it is chemically near - totally inert , and even above 1000 ° C it keeps its strength , shape , and continues to be resistant to wear and corrosion . It is very hard ( 9 on the Mohs hardness scale ) , dissociates only at 1900 ° C at 1 atm , and is quite dense ( density 3.185 g / cm ) , because of its compact structure similar to that of phenacite ( Be SiO ) . A similar refractory material is Si N O , formed by heating silicon and silica at 1450 ° C in an argon stream containing 5 % nitrogen gas , involving 4 - coordinate silicon and 3 - coordinate nitrogen alternating in puckered hexagonal tilings interlinked by non-linear Si -- O -- Si linkages to each other . Reacting silyl halides with ammonia or alkylammonia derivatives in the gaseous phase or in ethanolic solution produces various volatile silylamides , which are silicon analogues of the amines : 3 SiH Cl + 4 NH → N ( SiH ) + 3 NH Cl SiH Br + 2 Me NH → SiH NMe + Me NH Br 4 SiH I + 5 N H → ( SiH ) NN ( SiH ) + 4 N H I Many such compounds have been prepared , the only known restriction being that the nitrogen is always tertiary , and species containing the SiH -- NH group are unstable at room temperature . The stoichiometry around the nitrogen atom in compounds such as N ( SiH ) is planar , which has been attributed to ap -- d interaction between a lone pair on nitrogen and an empty d orbital on silicon . Similarly , trisilylamines are weaker as ligands than their carbon analogues , the tertiary amines , although substitution of some SiH groups by CH groups mitigates this weakness . Thus , for example , N ( SiH ) does not form an adduct with BH at all , while MeN ( SiH ) and Me NSiH form adducts at low temperatures that decompose upon warming . Some silicon analogues of imines , with a Si = N double bond , are known : the first found was Bu Si = N -- SiBu , which was discovered in 1986 . Silicon carbide Silicon carbide ( SiC ) was first made by Edward Goodrich Acheson in 1891 , who named it carborundum to reference its intermediate hardness and abrasive power between diamond ( an allotrope of carbon ) and corundum ( aluminium oxide ) . He soon founded a company to manufacture it , and today about one million tonnes are produced each year . Silicon carbide exists in about 250 crystalline forms . The polymorphism of SiC is characterized by a large family of similar crystalline structures called polytypes . They are variations of the same chemical compound that are identical in two dimensions and differ in the third . Thus , they can be viewed as layers stacked in a certain sequence . It is made industrially by reduction of quartz sand with excess coke or anthracite at 2000 -- 2500 ° C in an electric furnace : SiO + 2 C → Si + 2 CO Si + C → SiC It is the most thermally stable binary silicon compound , only decomposing through loss of silicon starting from around 2700 ° C. It is resistant to most aqueous acids , phosphoric acid being an exception . It forms a protective layer of silicon dioxide on the surface and hence only oxidises appreciably in air above 1000 ° C ; removal of this layer by molten hydroxides or carbonates leads to quick oxidation . Silicon carbide is rapidly attacked by chlorine gas , which forms SiCl and carbon at 100 ° C and SiCl and CCl at 1000 ° C. It is mostly used as an abrasive and a refractory materia , as it is chemically stable and very strong , and it fractures to form a very sharp cutting edge . It is also useful as an intrinsic semiconductor , as well as an extrinsic semiconductor upon being doped . In its diamond - like behaviour it serves as an illustration of the chemical similarity between carbon and silicon . Organosilicon compounds Main article : Organosilicon A hydrosilylation reaction , in which Si -- H is added to an unsaturated substrate Because the Si -- C bond is close in strength to the C -- C bond , organosilicon compounds tend to be markedly thermally and chemically stable . For example , tetraphenylsilane ( SiPh ) may be distilled in air even at its boiling point of 428 ° C , and so can its substituted derivatives Ph SiCl and Ph SiCl , which boil at 378 ° C and 305 ° C respectively . Furthermore , since carbon and silicon are chemical congeners , organosilicon chemistry shows some significant similarities with carbon chemistry , for example in the propensity of such compounds for catenation and forming multiple bonds . However , significant differences also arise : since silicon is more electropositive than carbon , bonds to more electronegative elements are generally stronger with silicon than with carbon , and vice versa . Thus the Si -- F bond is significantly stronger than even the C -- F bond and is one of the strongest single bonds , while the Si -- H bond is much weaker than the C -- H bond and is readily broken . Furthermore , the ability of silicon to expand its octet is not shared by carbon , and hence some organosilicon reactions have no organic analogues . For example , nucleophilic attack on silicon does not proceed by the S 2 or S 1 processes , but instead goes through a negatively charged true pentacoordinate intermediate and appears like a substitution at a hindered tertiary atom . This works for silicon , unlike for carbon , because the long Si -- C bonds reduce the steric hindrance and the d - orbital of silicon is geometrically unconstrained for nucleophilic attack , unlike for example a C -- O σ * antibonding orbital . Nevertheless , despite these differences , the mechanism is still often called `` S 2 at silicon '' for simplicity . One of the most useful silicon - containing groups is trimethylsilyl , Me Si -- . The Si -- C bond connecting it to the rest of the molecule is reasonably strong , allowing it to remain while the rest of the molecule undergoes reactions , but is not so strong that it can not be removed specifically when needed , for example by the fluoride ion , which is a very weak nucleophile for carbon compounds but a very strong one for organosilicon compounds . It may be compared to acidic protons ; while trisilylmethyl is removed by hard nucleophiles instead of bases , both removals usually promote elimination . As a general rule , while saturated carbon is best attacked by nucleophiles that are neutral compounds , those based on nonmetals far down on the periodic table ( e.g. sulfur , selenium , or iodine ) , or even both , silicon is best attacked by charged nucleophiles , particularly those involving such highly electronegative nonmetals as oxygen , fluorine , or chlorine . For example , enolates react at the carbon in haloalkanes , but at the oxygen in silyl chlorides ; and when trimethylsilyl is removed from an organic molecule using hydroxide as a nucleophile , the product of the reaction is not the silanol as one would expect from using carbon chemistry as an analogy , because the siloxide is strongly nucleophilic and attacks the original molecule to yield the silyl ether hexamethyldisiloxane , ( Me Si ) O. Conversely , while the S 2 reaction is mostly unaffected by the presence of a partial positive charge ( δ + ) at the carbon , the analogous `` S 2 '' reaction at silicon is so affected . Thus , for example , the silyl triflates are so electrophilic that they react 10 to 10 times faster than silyl chlorides with oxygen - containing nucleophiles . Trimethylsilyl triflate is in particular a very good Lewis acid and is used to convert carbonyl compounds to acetals and silyl enol ethers , reacting them together analogously to the aldol reaction . Si -- C bonds are commonly formed in three ways . In the laboratory , preparation is often carried out in small quantities by reacting tetrachlorosilane with organolithium , Grignard , or organoaluminium reagents , or by catalytic addition of Si -- H across C = C double bonds . The second route has the drawback of not being applicable to the most important silanes , the methyl and phenyl silanes . Organosilanes are made industrially by directly reacting alkyl or aryl halides with silicon with 10 % by weight metallic copper as a catalyst . Standard organic reactions suffice to produce many derivatives ; the resulting organosilanes are often significantly more reactive than their carbon congeners , readily undergoing hydrolysis , ammonolysis , alcoholysis , and condensation to form cyclic oligomers or linear polymers . Silicone polymers Main article : Silicone Structure of polydimethylsiloxane , the principal component of silicones The word `` silicone '' was first used by Frederick Kipping in 1901 . He invented the word to illustrate the similarity of chemical formulae between Ph SiO and benzophenone , Ph CO , although he also stressed the lack of chemical resemblance due to the polymeric structure of Ph SiO , which is not shared by Ph CO . Silicones may be considered analogous to mineral silicates , in which the methyl groups of the silicones correspond to the isoelectronic O of the silicates . They are quite stable to extreme temperatures , oxidation , and water , and have useful dielectric , antistick , and antifoam properties . Furthermore , they are resistant over long periods of time to ultraviolet radiation and weathering , and are inert physiologically . They are fairly unreactive , but do react with concentrated solutions bearing the hydroxide ion and fluorinating agents , and occasionally can be even used as mild reagents for selective syntheses . For example , ( Me Si ) O is valuable for the preparation of derivatives of molybdenum and tungsten oxyhalides , converting a tungsten hexachloride suspension in dichloroethane solution quantitatively to WOCl in under an hour at room temperature , and then to yellow WO Cl at 100 ° C in light petroleum at a yield of 95 % overnight . Occurrence Olivine In the universe , silicon is the seventh most abundant element , coming after hydrogen , helium , carbon , nitrogen , oxygen , and neon . These abundances are not replicated well on Earth due to substantial separation of the elements taking place during the formation of the Solar System . Silicon makes up 27.2 % of the Earth 's crust by weight , second only to oxygen at 45.5 % , with which it is always associated in nature . Further fractionation took place in the formation of the Earth by planetary differentiation : Earth 's core , which makes up 31.5 % of the mass of the Earth , has approximate composition Fe Ni Co S ; the mantle makes up 68.1 % of the Earth 's mass and is composed mostly of denser oxides and silicates , an example being olivine , ( Mg , Fe ) SiO ; while the lighter siliceous minerals rise to the surface and form the crust , making up 0.4 % of the Earth 's mass . The crystallisation of igneous rocks from magma depends on a number of factors ; among them are the chemical composition of the magma , the cooling rate , and some properties of the individual minerals to be formed , such as lattice energy , melting point , and complexity of their crystal structure . As magma is cooled , olivine appears first , followed by pyroxene , amphibole , biotite mica , orthoclase feldspar , muscovite mica , quartz , zeolites , and finally hydrothermal minerals . This sequence shows a trend towards increasingly complex silicate units with cooling , and the introduction of hydroxide and fluoride anions in addition to oxides . Many metals can substitute for silicon . After these igneous rocks undergo weathering , transport , and deposition , sedimentary rocks like clay , shale , and sandstone are formed . Metamorphism also can occur at high temperatures and pressures , creating an even vaster variety of minerals . Production Silicon of 96 -- 99 % purity is made by reducing quartzite or sand with highly pure coke . The reduction is carried out in an electric arc furnace , with an excess of SiO used to stop silicon carbide from accumulating : SiO + 2 C → Si + 2 CO 2 SiC + SiO → 3 Si + 2 CO Ferrosilicon alloy This reaction , known as carbothermal reduction of silicon dioxide , is usually conducted in the presence of scrap iron with low amounts of phosphorus and sulfur , produing ferrosilicon . Ferrosilicon , an iron - silicon alloy that contains varying ratios of elemental silicon and iron , accounts for about 80 % of the world 's production of elemental silicon , with China , the leading supplier of elemental silicon , providing 4.6 million tonnes ( or 2 / 3 of the world output ) of silicon , most of which is in the form of ferrosilicon . It is followed by Russia ( 610,000 t ) , Norway ( 330,000 t ) , Brazil ( 240,000 t ) and the United States ( 170,000 t ) . Ferrosilicon is primarily used by the iron and steel industry ( see below ) with primary use as alloying addition in iron or steel and for de-oxidation of steel in integrated steel plants . Another sometimes used reaction is aluminothermal reduction of silicon dioxide , as follows : 3 SiO + 4 Al → 3 Si + 2 Al O Leaching powdered 96 -- 97 % pure silicon with water results in ~ 98.5 % pure silicon , which is used in the chemical industry . However , even greater purity is needed for semiconductor applications , and this is produced from the reduction of tetrachlorosilane or trichlorosilane . The former is made by chlorinating scrap silicon and the latter is a byproduct of silicone production . These compounds are volatile and hence can be purified by repeated fractional distillation , followed by reduction to elemental silicon with very pure zinc metal as the reeducing agent . The spongy pieces of silicon thus produced are melted and then grown to form cylindrical single crystals , before being purified by zone refining . Other routes use the thermal decomposition of silane or tetraiodosilane . Another process used is the reduction of sodium hexafluorosilicate , a common waste product of the phosphate fertiliser industry , by metallic sodium : this is highly exothermic and hence requires no outside fuel source . Hyperfine silicon is made at a higher purity than almost every other material : transistor production requires impurity levels in silicon crystals less than 1 part per 10 , and in special cases impurity levels below 1 part per 10 are needed and attained . Applications Compounds Most silicon is used industrially without being purified , and indeed often with comparatively little processing from its natural form . Over 90 % of the Earth 's crust is composed of silicate minerals , which are compounds of silicon and oxygen , often with metallic ions when negatively charged silicate anions require cations to balance the charge . Many of these have direct commercial uses , such as clays , silica sand and most kinds of building stone . Thus , the vast majority of uses for silicon are as structural compounds , either as the silicate minerals or silica ( crude silicon dioxide ) . Silicates are used in making Portland cement ( made mostly of calcium silicates ) which is used in building mortar and modern stucco , but more importantly , combined with silica sand , and gravel ( usually containing silicate minerals like granite ) , to make the concrete that is the basis of most of the very largest industrial building projects of the modern world . Silica is used to make fire brick , a type of ceramic . Silicate minerals are also in whiteware ceramics , an important class of products usually containing various types of fired clay minerals ( natural aluminium phyllosilicates ) . An example is porcelain which is based on the silicate mineral kaolinite . Traditional glass ( silica - based soda - lime glass ) also functions in many of the same ways , and is also used for windows and containers . In addition , specialty silica based glass fibers are used for optical fiber , as well as to produce fiberglass for structural support and glass wool for thermal insulation . Silicones are often used in waterproofing treatments , molding compounds , mold - release agents , mechanical seals , high temperature greases and waxes , and caulking compounds . Silicone is also sometimes used in breast implants , contact lenses , explosives and pyrotechnics . Silly Putty was originally made by adding boric acid to silicone oil . Other silicon compounds function as high - technology abrasives and new high - strength ceramics based upon silicon carbide . Silicon is a component of some superalloys . Alloys Elemental silicon is added to molten cast iron as ferrosilicon or silicocalcium alloys to improve performance in casting thin sections and to prevent the formation of cementite where exposed to outside air . The presence of elemental silicon in molten iron acts as a sink for oxygen , so that the steel carbon content , which must be kept within narrow limits for each type of steel , can be more closely controlled . Ferrosilicon production and use is a monitor of the steel industry , and although this form of elemental silicon is grossly impure , it accounts for 80 % of the world 's use of free silicon . Silicon is an important constituent of electrical steel , modifying its resistivity and ferromagnetic properties . The properties of silicon can be used to modify alloys with metals other than iron . `` Metallurgical grade '' silicon is silicon of 95 -- 99 % purity . About 55 % of the world consumption of metallurgical purity silicon goes for production of aluminium - silicon alloys ( silumin alloys ) for aluminium part casts , mainly for use in the automotive industry . Silicon 's importance in aluminium casting is that a significantly high amount ( 12 % ) of silicon in aluminium forms a eutectic mixture which solidifies with very little thermal contraction . This greatly reduces tearing and cracks formed from stress as casting alloys cool to solidity . Silicon also significantly improves the hardness and thus wear - resistance of aluminium . Electronics Main article : Semiconductor device fabrication Silicon wafer with mirror finish Most elemental silicon produced remains as a ferrosilicon alloy , and only about 20 % is refined to metallurgical grade purity ( a total of 1.3 -- 1.5 million metric tons / year ) . An estimated 15 % of the world production of metallurgical grade silicon is further refined to semiconductor purity . However , the economic importance of this small very high - purity fraction ( especially the ~ 5 % which is processed to monocrystalline silicon for integrated circuits ) is disproportionately large . Pure monocrystalline silicon is used to produce silicon wafers used in the semiconductor industry , in electronics , and in some high - cost and high - efficiency photovoltaic applications . Pure silicon is an intrinsic semiconductor , which means that unlike metals , it conducts electron holes and electrons released from atoms by heat ; silicon 's electrical conductivity increases with higher temperatures . Pure silicon has too low a conductivity ( i.e. , too high a resistivity ) to be used as a circuit element in electronics . In practice , pure silicon is doped with small concentrations of certain other elements , which greatly increase its conductivity and adjust its electrical response by controlling the number and charge ( positive or negative ) of activated carriers . Such control is necessary for transistors , solar cells , semiconductor detectors , and other semiconductor devices used in the computer industry and other technical applications . In silicon photonics , silicon can be used as a continuous wave Raman laser medium to produce coherent light , though it is ineffective as an everyday light source . In common integrated circuits , a wafer of monocrystalline silicon serves as a mechanical support for the circuits , which are created by doping and insulated from each other by thin layers of silicon oxide , an insulator that is easily produced by exposing the element to oxygen under the proper conditions . Silicon has become the most popular material for both high power semiconductors and integrated circuits because it can withstand the highest temperatures and greatest electrical activity without suffering avalanche breakdown ( an electron avalanche is created when heat produces free electrons and holes , which in turn pass more current , which produces more heat ) . In addition , the insulating oxide of silicon is not soluble in water , which gives it an advantage over germanium ( an element with similar properties which can also be used in semiconductor devices ) in certain fabrication techniques . Monocrystalline silicon is expensive to produce , and is usually justified only in production of integrated circuits , where tiny crystal imperfections can interfere with tiny circuit paths . For other uses , other types of pure silicon may be employed . These include hydrogenated amorphous silicon and upgraded metallurgical - grade silicon ( UMG - Si ) used in the production of low - cost , large - area electronics in applications such as liquid crystal displays and of large - area , low - cost , thin - film solar cells . Such semiconductor grades of silicon are either slightly less pure or polycrystalline rather than monocrystalline , and are produced in comparable quatities as the monocrystalline silicon : 75,000 to 150,000 metric tons per year . The market for the lesser grade is growing more quickly than for monocrystalline silicon . By 2013 , polycrystalline silicon production , used mostly in solar cells , was projected to reach 200,000 metric tons per year , while monocrystalline semiconductor grade silicon was expected to remain less than 50,000 tons / year . Mechanical watches Since 2000 , silicon has found a new use in mechanical watch movements . Several manufacturers of mechanical watch movements have incorporated silicon parts , mainly in the escapements and balance wheel regions . Silicon hair - springs are becoming more common as are silicon escapement wheels and forks . Silicon has several desirable properties when used in these contexts ; It is thermally stable , shock resistant , and requires little to no lubrication . Ulysse Nardin pioneered these applications , with Omega , Breguet , Patek , Rolex , Cartier , and Damasko following . Most of these parts for watch movements are manufactured by deep reactive - ion etching ( DRIE ) . Biological role A diatom , enclosed in a silica cell wall Although silicon is readily available in the form of silicates , very few organisms use it directly . Diatoms , radiolaria and siliceous sponges use biogenic silica as a structural material for skeletons . In more advanced plants , the silica phytoliths ( opal phytoliths ) are rigid microscopic bodies occurring in the cell ; some plants , for example rice , need silicon for their growth . There is some evidence that silicon is important to nail , hair , bone and skin health in humans , for example in studies that show that premenopausal women with higher dietary silicon intake have higher bone density , and that silicon supplementation can increase bone volume and density in patients with osteoporosis . Silicon is needed for synthesis of elastin and collagen , of which the aorta contains the greatest quantity in the human body . Silicon is currently under consideration for elevation to the status of a `` plant beneficial substance by the Association of American Plant Food Control Officials ( AAPFCO ) . '' Silicon has been shown in university and field studies to improve plant cell wall strength and structural integrity , improve drought and frost resistance , decrease lodging potential , and boost the plant 's natural pest and disease fighting systems . Silicon has also been shown to improve plant vigor and physiology by improving root mass and density , and increasing above - ground plant biomass and crop yields . Safety People can be exposed to silicon in the workplace by breathing it in , swallowing it , skin contact , and eye contact . The Occupational Safety and Health Administration ( OSHA ) has set the legal limit ( Permissible exposure limit ) for silicon exposure in the workplace as 15 mg / m total exposure and 5 mg / m respiratory exposure over an 8 - hour workday . The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health ( NIOSH ) has set a Recommended exposure limit ( REL ) of 10 mg / m total exposure and 5 mg / m respiratory exposure over an 8 - hour workday .

Jump up ^ In his table of the elements , Lavoisier listed five `` salifiable earths '' ( i.e. , ores that could be made to react with acids to produce salts ( salis = salt , in Latin ) : chaux ( calcium oxide ) , magnésie ( magnesia , magnesium oxide ) , baryte ( barium sulfate ) , alumine ( alumina , aluminium oxide ) , and silice ( silica , silicon dioxide ) . About these `` elements '' , Lavoisier speculates : `` We are probably only acquainted as yet with a part of the metallic substances existing in nature , as all those which have a stronger affinity to oxygen than carbon possesses , are incapable , hitherto , of being reduced to a metallic state , and consequently , being only presented to our observation under the form of oxyds , are confounded with earths . It is extremely probable that barytes , which we have just now arranged with earths , is in this situation ; for in many experiments it exhibits properties nearly approaching to those of metallic bodies . It is even possible that all the substances we call earths may be only metallic oxyds , irreducible by any hitherto known process .

Jump up ^ In 1854 , Deville was trying to prepare aluminium metal from aluminium chloride that was heavily contaminated with silicon chloride . Deville used two methods to prepare aluminium : heating aluminium chloride with sodium metal in an inert atmosphere ( of hydrogen ) ; and melting aluminum chloride with sodium chloride and then electrolyzing the mixture . In both cases , pure silicon was produced : the silicon dissolved in the molten aluminium , but crystallized upon cooling . Dissolving the crude aluminum in hydrochloric acid revealed flakes of crystallized silicon .

when was silicon added to the periodic table

Silicon is a chemical element with symbol Si and atomic number 14 . A hard and brittle crystalline solid with a blue - grey metallic lustre , it is a tetravalent metalloid and semiconductor . It is a member of group 14 in the periodic table , along with carbon above it and germanium , tin , and lead below . It is rather unreactive , though less so than germanium , and has a very large chemical affinity for oxygen ; as such , it was first prepared and characterized in pure form only in 1823 by Jöns Jakob Berzelius .

The team began play in the 2017 -- 18 NHL season , and is a member of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League ( NHL ) . The team is owned by Black Knight Sports & Entertainment , a consortium led by Bill Foley and the Maloof family . The team plays its home games at T - Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise , Nevada .

The city has since hosted the Frozen Fury , a preseason competition between the Los Angeles Kings and the Colorado Avalanche , and the NHL Awards ceremonies have been held in Las Vegas since 2009 . In 2009 , the media speculated about a plan involving Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer to move the Phoenix Coyotes to Nevada . Rumors of a Las Vegas expansion team surfaced again in August 2014 , pointing to a new indoor arena on the Strip ( built as a joint venture between Anschutz Entertainment Group , owners of the Los Angeles Kings , and MGM Resorts International ) as the potential home arena , although these rumors were denied by the league . In November 2014 , an unconfirmed report stated that the league had selected billionaire businessman Bill Foley and the Maloof family ( former owners of the National Basketball Association 's Sacramento Kings , and founders of the Palms Casino Resort ) to lead the ownership group for a Las Vegas expansion team . In December 2014 , the NHL 's board of governors decided to allow Foley to hold a season ticket drive to gauge interest in a Las Vegas team , though league commissioner Gary Bettman also warned the media to `` ( not ) make more out of this than it is '' . The season ticket drive began in February 2015 , with interested parties placing ten percent deposits for the 2016 -- 17 season . The drive drew 5,000 deposits in its first day and a half , and reached its goal of 10,000 deposits by April 2015 . In June 2015 , the league officially opened the window for prospective owners to bid on expansion teams . By this point , Foley had secured more than 13,200 season - ticket deposits . Two expansion applications were submitted : Foley 's application for a Las Vegas team , and a bid from Quebecor to revive the Quebec Nordiques at a new arena in Quebec City . Both Las Vegas and Quebec were invited to move into Phase II of the league expansion bid in August 2015 , and subsequently advanced to Phase III . At the league owners ' meeting on June 22 , 2016 , in Las Vegas , the Las Vegas expansion bid was approved by a unanimous vote , with play to begin in the 2017 -- 18 NHL season . The team became the first major professional sports franchise to be based in Las Vegas , and the first NHL expansion team since 2000 . Foley committed to pay the league 's $500 million expansion fee and began the process of hiring the team 's principal staff and determining its official identity . Foley announced that former Washington Capitals general manager George McPhee would be the franchise 's first general manager . On November 22 , 2016 , the name was revealed as the Vegas Golden Knights . Start of operations : 2017 -- present ( edit ) On March 1 , 2017 ( coinciding with the league 's trade deadline ) , the team completed its expansion fee payments and filings , making it eligible to formally begin operations such as free agent acquisition , and participation in league meetings . Five days later , the Golden Knights made their first personnel move by signing Reid Duke to a three - year entry - level contract . Gerard Gallant coaching the Golden Knights during their inaugural 2017 -- 18 season . Gallant was named as the head coach in April 2017 . The team announced inaugural head coach Gerard Gallant on April 13 , 2017 . Over the next two months , the Golden Knights developed their farm system , announcing affiliations with the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League and the Quad City Mallards of the ECHL . The team participated in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft on June 21 , 2017 , selecting an available player from all 30 teams in the NHL . The draft picks were announced at T - Mobile Arena during the NHL Awards ceremony . Some notable selections included goalie Marc - Andre Fleury from the Pittsburgh Penguins and winger James Neal from the Nashville Predators . At the 2017 NHL Entry Draft , Cody Glass was the first player selected by the Golden Knights . The Golden Knights played their first game on October 6 against the Dallas Stars with Neal scoring the franchise 's first two goals en route to their first victory . The team 's inaugural home game was played on October 10 , 2017 , hosting the Arizona Coyotes as the second game of a home - and - home series . In the aftermath of the October 1 mass shooting , the pre-game ceremonies honored the victims of the attack , and the team issued an appeal for donations to its charitable arm . With their 5 -- 2 win , the Golden Knights increased their unbeaten streak to start the season to 3 -- 0 , an NHL record for an expansion team . The Golden Knights are the first team in NHL history to have started their inaugural season winning eight of their first nine games . During their tenth game , goaltender Oscar Dansk was injured becoming the third Golden Knights ' goaltender to be injured during the season after losing starters Fleury and the recently acquired Malcolm Subban , forcing the team to start a fourth goaltender in 11 games with Maxime Lagace . Fifteen games into the season , Vadim Shipachyov became the first player to retire from the NHL as a Golden Knight when he decided to return to the Kontinental Hockey League . In December , the Golden Knights set another NHL expansion team record of six straight wins , a record they had previously missed when they lost their tenth game of the season , and established a new NHL record with eight straight wins . On February 1 , 2018 , the Golden Knights set the expansion team record for wins in a debut season with 34 wins after only 50 games , and then on February 21 , 2018 , set a record for most points by an expansion team in the inaugural season with 84 . On March 26 , the Golden Knights became the first team since the Edmonton Oilers and Hartford Whalers in the 1979 -- 80 season to make the playoffs in their inaugural season in the league . On March 31 , the Knights clinched the Pacific Division title , becoming the first true expansion team in the four major sports to win its division in its inaugural season ( not counting all - expansion divisions , as was the case in the 1967 -- 68 season ) . They had led the Pacific since December 23 . On April 11 , the franchise won its first playoff game in a 1 -- 0 victory over the Los Angeles Kings in the first game of the series . Six days later on April 17 , the franchise earned their first playoff series win against the Kings , winning the fourth game by a 1 -- 0 score , which also became their first playoff series sweep . The Knights became the first team in NHL history to sweep their first playoff series in their inaugural season . On May 6 , 2018 , the Golden Knights defeated the San Jose Sharks four - games - to - two , becoming the third team in NHL history to win multiple playoff series in their inaugural season , and advanced to the Western Conference Finals . On May 20 , Vegas defeated the Winnipeg Jets to win the Western Conference Finals in five games , becoming the third NHL team to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals in its inaugural season , after the Toronto Arenas in 1918 and the St. Louis Blues in 1968 . Team identity ( edit ) Logos , colors , and uniforms ( edit ) The team 's secondary logo The team 's primary logo is a barbute helmet , superimposed on a black and gold seal , with a V - shaped opening . The secondary logo is two crossing swords behind a red star , designed to resemble a star found on the landmark Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign . The team 's primary color is steel gray , which is said to represent `` strength and durability '' . The other team colors are gold , red ( found in the Las Vegas skyline and at Red Rock Canyon ) , and black ( for `` power and intensity '' ) . The first uniforms in Golden Knights team history were unveiled publicly on June 20 , 2017 . Name ( edit ) The team 's name includes `` Knights '' as a homage to the Black Knights of the United States Military Academy , Foley 's alma mater , and because knights were , according to Foley , `` the epitome of the warrior class '' . Foley had hoped to name his team the Black Knights , but dropped that plan after encountering resistance from federal officials . Foley was unable to call the team the `` Vegas Knights '' due to the London Knights owning the `` Knights '' name in Canada . `` Golden '' was included in the name because gold is , as Foley stated , the `` No. 1 precious metal '' , and because Nevada is the largest gold - producing state in the country . `` Las '' was omitted from the team 's name because , according to Foley , residents tend to refer to the city simply as `` Vegas '' , and because a four - word name would have been too long . The United States Army initially expressed concern after the Golden Knights ' name was announced , because their parachute team uses the same nickname . The Army later disputed the trademark and colors of the team during its first season , to which the team responded : `` We are not aware of a single complaint from anyone attending our games that they were expecting to see the parachute team and not a professional hockey game . '' An objection was also raised by the College of Saint Rose because its sports teams use the same name ; the Vegas team 's initial trademark application was denied as a result , but was later approved on appeal . The team did clear the name with Clarkson University , which also uses the name Golden Knights . Mascot ( edit ) The Golden Knights ' mascot is a Gila monster named Chance . He was unveiled at the team 's second home game on October 13 , 2017 . The team opted against using a knight for a mascot because it found that knight mascots used by other teams were not very child - friendly . Team information ( edit ) Broadcasting ( edit ) AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain ( formerly Root Sports ) is the regional television rightsholder for all Golden Knights games not broadcast nationally by NBCSN or NBC . The team 's designated market includes Nevada , Idaho , Montana , Utah , Wyoming , and parts of Arizona and California . Golden Knights games on AT&T SportsNet are called by former Boston Bruins radio announcer Dave Goucher on play - by - play , and Shane Hnidy , who previously worked color for the Winnipeg Jets on TSN . The team has a three - year radio deal with Lotus Broadcasting . Lotus airs the team 's games on its Fox Sports Radio affiliate , KRLV 1340 / 98.9 . KRLV fronts a network of nine stations across Nevada , California , Arizona , and Utah . One game a week is also aired on the company 's ESPN Deportes Radio affiliate , KENO 1460 , making the team one of only three in the NHL to offer Spanish - language broadcasts . Minor league affiliate ( edit ) On May 16 , 2017 , the Golden Knights entered a multi-year affiliation agreement with a minor league team , the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League . Like most NHL - AHL affiliation arrangements , the Golden Knights are able to transfer players to and from the Wolves . Although the Wolves are the Golden Knights affiliate , the two teams do not share the same ownership . In addition to the Wolves , the Golden Knights were affiliated with the Quad City Mallards of the ECHL for the 2017 -- 18 season , however , the Mallards ceased operations after the one season .

It is supplied by a number of major rivers , such as the Danube , Dnieper , Southern Bug , Dniester , Don , and the Rioni . About a third of Europe drains into the Black Sea , including the countries of Austria , Belarus , Bosnia and Herzegovina , Bulgaria , Croatia , Georgia , Germany , Hungary , Moldova , Poland , Romania , Russia , Serbia , Slovakia , Slovenia , Turkey and Ukraine . The Black Sea has an area of 436,400 km ( 168,500 sq mi ) ( not including the Sea of Azov ) , a maximum depth of 2,212 m ( 7,257 ft ) , and a volume of 547,000 km ( 131,000 cu mi ) . It is constrained by the Pontic Mountains to the south , Caucasus Mountains to the east , Crimean Mountains to the north , Strandzha to the southwest , Dobrogea Plateau to the northwest , and features a wide shelf to the northwest . The longest east - west extent is about 1,175 km ( 730 mi ) . Important cities along the coast include Batumi , Burgas , Constanța , Giresun , Istanbul , Kerch , Novorossiysk , Odessa , Ordu , Poti , Rize , Samsun , Sevastopol , Sochi , Sukhumi , Trabzon , Varna , Yalta , and Zonguldak . The Black Sea has a positive water balance ; that is , a net outflow of water 300 km ( 72 cu mi ) per year through the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles into the Aegean Sea . Mediterranean water flows into the Black Sea as part of a two - way hydrological exchange . The Black Sea outflow is cooler and less saline , and floats over the warm , more saline Mediterranean inflow -- as a result of differences in density caused by differences in salinity -- leading to a significant anoxic layer well below the surface waters . The Black Sea drains into the Mediterranean Sea , via the Aegean Sea and various straits , and is navigable to the Atlantic Ocean . The Bosphorus Strait connects it to the Sea of Marmara , and the Strait of the Dardanelles connects that sea to the Aegean Sea region of the Mediterranean . These waters separate Eastern Europe , the Caucasus and Western Asia . The Black Sea is also connected to the Sea of Azov by the Strait of Kerch . The water level has varied significantly . Due to these variations in the water level in the basin , the surrounding shelf and associated aprons have sometimes been land . At certain critical water levels it is possible for connections with surrounding water bodies to become established . It is through the most active of these connective routes , the Turkish Straits , that the Black Sea joins the world ocean . When this hydrological link is not present , the Black Sea is an endorheic basin , operating independently of the global ocean system , like the Caspian Sea for example . Currently the Black Sea water level is relatively high , thus water is being exchanged with the Mediterranean . The Turkish Straits connect the Black Sea with the Aegean Sea , and comprise the Bosphorus , the Sea of Marmara and the Dardanelles .

In Greece , the historical name `` Euxine Sea '' , which holds a different meaning ( see below ) , is still widely used : Greek language Éfxeinos Póntos ( Eύξεινος Πόντος ) ; the literal Mavri Thalassa ( Μαύρη Θάλασσα ) is less common The Black Sea is one of four seas named in English after common colour terms -- the others being the Red Sea , the White Sea and the Yellow Sea . Historical names and etymology ( edit ) The principal Greek name `` Póntos Áxeinos '' itself is generally accepted to be a rendering of Iranian * axšaina - ( `` dark colored '' ) , cf . Avestan axšaēna - ( `` dark colored '' ) , Old Persian axšaina - ( color of turquoise ) , Middle Persian axšēn / xašēn ( `` blue '' ) , and New Persian xašīn ( `` blue '' ) , as well as Ossetic œxsīn ( `` dark gray '' ) . The ancient Greeks subsequently adopted the name , reportedly in all likelihood those who lived to the north of the Black Sea , and altered it into á - xe ( i ) nos . Thereafter , Greek tradition refers to the Black Sea as the `` Inhospitable Sea '' , Πόντος Ἄξεινος Póntos Áxeinos , first attested in Pindar ( c. 475 BC ) . The name , considered to be `` ominous '' , was then later changed into the euphemism `` Hospitable sea '' , Εὔξεινος Πόντος Eúxeinos Póntos , which was also for the first time attested in Pindar . This became the commonly used designation in Greek for the sea . In contexts related to mythology , the older form `` Póntos Áxeinos '' remained favored . Previously , it was erroneously suggested that the name had to be derived from the color of the water , or at least were to be related to climatic particulars . Black ( or dark ) , in this context however , referred to a system in which colors represented the various `` cardinal points '' of the known world . Black , or dark represented the north , red the south , white for the west , and green or light blue for the east . This symbolism based on cardinal points was used in a plethora of different occasions , and is therefore widely attested . For example , the `` Red Sea '' , a body of water reported since the time of Herodotus ( c. 484 -- c. 425 BC ) in fact designated the Indian Ocean , together with bodies of water known as the Persian Gulf and the `` actual '' Red Sea . According to the same explanation and reasoning , it is therefore considered to be impossible for the Scythians ( who principally roamed in what is present - day Ukraine and Russia ) to have given the designation as they lived to the north of the sea , and it would be therefore a southern antipodal body of water for them . As the name could have only been given by a people that were well aware of both the northern `` black / dark '' and southern `` red '' seas , it is therefore considered probable that it was given its name by the Achaemenids ( 550 -- 330 BC ) . Strabo 's Geographica ( 1.2. 10 ) reports that in antiquity , the Black Sea was often just called `` the Sea '' ( ὁ πόντος ho pontos ) . He also thought that the Black Sea was called `` inhospitable '' before Greek colonization because it was difficult to navigate , and because its shores were inhabited by savage tribes. ( 7.3. 6 ) The name was changed to `` hospitable '' after the Milesians had colonized the southern shoreline , the Pontus , making it part of Greek civilization . In Greater Bundahishn , a sacred Zoroastrian text written in Middle Persian the Black Sea is called Siyābun . A map of Asia dating to 1570 , entitled `` Asiae Nova Descriptio '' , from Abraham Ortelius 's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum , labels the sea Mar Maggior ( `` Great Sea '' , cf . Latin mare major ) . English - language writers of the 18th century often used the name `` Euxine Sea '' ( / ˈjuːksɪn / or / ˈjuːkˌsaɪn / ) to refer to the Black Sea . Edward Gibbon , for instance , calls the sea by this name throughout The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire . During the Ottoman Empire period , the Black Sea was called either Bahr - e Siyah or Karadeniz , both meaning `` the Black Sea '' in the Ottoman Turkish . It is worthy to note , that in the tenth - century geography book Hudud al - ' Alam , written in the Persian language by an unknown author , the Black Sea is called `` Georgian Sea '' , `` Sea of Georgians '' ( `` daryä - yi Gurziyan '' ) . Old Georgian sources of 9th -- 14th centuries ( `` The Georgian Chronicles '' ) were using the name `` Speris Zğua '' ( სპერის ზღუა ) , which means `` The Sea of Speri '' , after the name of Kartvelian tribe Speris or Saspers , now in Turkey . The modern names of the Black Sea ( Chyornoye more , Karadeniz , etc . ) , stretch only back to the 13th century . Geology. and bathymetry ( edit ) The bay of Sudak , Crimea The geological origins of the basin can be traced back to two distinct relict back - arc basins which were initiated by the splitting of an Albian volcanic arc and the subduction of both the Paleo - and Neo-Tethys Oceans , but the timings of these events remain controversial . Since its initiation , compressional tectonic environments led to subsidence in the basin , interspersed with extensional phases resulting in large - scale volcanism and numerous orogenies , causing the uplift of the Greater Caucasus , Pontides , Southern Crimean Peninsula and Balkanides mountain ranges . The ongoing collision between the Eurasian and African plates and westward escape of the Anatolian block along the North Anatolian Fault and East Anatolian Faults dictates the current tectonic regime , which features enhanced subsidence in the Black Sea basin and significant volcanic activity in the Anatolian region . It is these geological mechanisms which , in the long term , have caused the periodic isolations of the Black Sea from the rest of the global ocean system . The modern basin is divided into two sub-basins by a convexity extending south from the Crimean Peninsula . The large shelf to the north of the basin is up to 190 km ( 120 mi ) wide , and features a shallow apron with gradients between 1 : 40 and 1 : 1000 . The southern edge around Turkey and the eastern edge around Georgia , however , are typified by a narrow shelf that rarely exceeds 20 km ( 12 mi ) in width and a steep apron that is typically 1 : 40 gradient with numerous submarine canyons and channel extensions . The Euxine abyssal plain in the centre of the Black Sea reaches a maximum depth of 2,212 metres ( 7,257.22 feet ) just south of Yalta on the Crimean Peninsula . The littoral zone of the Black Sea is often referred to as the Pontic littoral or Pontic zone . The area surrounding the Black Sea is commonly referred to as the Black Sea Region . Its northern part lies within the Chernozem belt ( black soil belt ) which goes from eastern Croatia ( Slavonia ) , along the Danube ( northern Serbia , northern Bulgaria ( Danubian Plain ) and southern Romania ( Wallachian Plain ) ) to northeast Ukraine and further across the Central Black Earth Region and southern Russia into Siberia . Hydrology ( edit ) This SeaWiFS view reveals the colourful interplay of currents on the sea 's surface The Black Sea is a marginal sea and is the world 's largest body of water with a meromictic basin . The deep waters do not mix with the upper layers of water that receive oxygen from the atmosphere . As a result , over 90 % of the deeper Black Sea volume is anoxic water . The Black Sea 's circulation patterns are primarily controlled by basin topography and fluvial inputs , which result in a strongly stratified vertical structure . Because of the extreme stratification , it is classified as a salt wedge estuary . The Black Sea only experiences water transfer with the Mediterranean Sea , so all inflow and outflow occurs in the Bosphorus and Dardanelles . Inflow from the Mediterranean has a higher salinity and density than the outflow , creating the classical estuarine circulation . This means that inflow of dense water from the Mediterranean occurs at the bottom of the basin while outflow of fresher Black Sea surface - water into the Marmara Sea occurs near the surface . Fresher surface water is the product of the fluvial inputs , and this makes the Black Sea a positive sea . The net input of freshwater creates an outflow volume about twice that of the inflow . Evaporation and precipitation are roughly equal at about 300 cubic kilometres per year ( 72 cu mi / a ) . Because of the narrowness and shallowness of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles ( their respective depths are only 33 and 70 meters ) , inflow and outflow current speeds are high and there is significant vertical shear . This allows for turbulent mixing of the two layers . Surface water leaves the Black Sea with a salinity of 17 psu and reaches the Mediterranean with a salinity of 34 psu . Likewise , inflow of the Mediterranean with salinity 38.5 psu experiences a decrease to about 34 psu . Mean surface circulation is cyclonic and waters around the perimeter of the Black Sea circulate in a basin - wide shelfbreak gyre known as the Rim Current . The Rim Current has a maximum velocity of about 50 -- 100 cm / s . Within this feature , two smaller cyclonic gyres operate , occupying the eastern and western sectors of the basin . The Eastern and Western Gyres are well - organized systems in the winter but dissipate into a series of interconnected eddies in the summer and autumn . Mesoscale activity in the peripheral flow becomes more pronounced during these warmer seasons and is subject to interannual variability . Outside of the Rim Current , numerous quasi-permanent coastal eddies are formed as a result of upwelling around the coastal apron and `` wind curl '' mechanisms . The intra-annual strength of these features is controlled by seasonal atmospheric and fluvial variations . During the spring , the Batumi eddy forms in the southeastern corner of the sea . Beneath the surface waters -- from about 50 -- 100 meters -- there exists a halocline that stops at the Cold Intermediate Layer ( CIL ) . This layer is composed of cool , salty surface waters , which are the result of localized atmospheric cooling and decreased fluvial input during the winter months . It is the remnant of the winter surface mixed layer . The base of the CIL is marked by a major pycnocline at about 100 -- 200 metres ( 330 -- 660 ft ) and this density disparity is the major mechanism for isolation of the deep water . Below the pycnocline is the Deep Water mass , where salinity increases to 22.3 psu and temperatures rise to around 8.9 ° C. The hydrochemical environment shifts from oxygenated to anoxic , as bacterial decomposition of sunken biomass utilizes all of the free oxygen . Weak geothermal heating and long residence time create a very thick convective bottom layer . Hydrochemistry ( edit ) Because of the anoxic water at depth , organic matter , including anthropogenic artifacts such as boat hulls , are well preserved . During periods of high surface productivity , short - lived algal blooms form organic rich layers known as sapropels . Scientists have reported an annual phytoplankton bloom that can be seen in many NASA images of the region . As a result of these characteristics the Black Sea has gained interest from the field of marine archaeology as ancient shipwrecks in excellent states of preservation have been discovered , such as the Byzantine wreck Sinop D , located in the anoxic layer off the coast of Sinop , Turkey . Modelling shows the release of the hydrogen sulfide clouds in the event of an asteroid impact into the Black Sea would pose a threat to health -- or even life -- for people living on the Black Sea coast . There have been isolated reports of flares on the Black Sea occurring during thunderstorms , possibly caused by lightning igniting combustible gas seeping up from the sea depths . Ecology ( edit ) Marine ( edit ) See also : List of fish of the Black Sea The port of Poti , Georgia The Black Sea supports an active and dynamic marine ecosystem , dominated by species suited to the brackish , nutrient - rich , conditions . As with all marine food webs , the Black Sea features a range of trophic groups , with autotrophic algae , including diatoms and dinoflagellates , acting as primary producers . The fluvial systems draining Eurasia and central Europe introduce large volumes of sediment and dissolved nutrients into the Black Sea , but distribution of these nutrients is controlled by the degree of physiochemical stratification , which is , in turn , dictated by seasonal physiographic development . During winter , strong wind promotes convective overturning and upwelling of nutrients , while high summer temperatures result in a marked vertical stratification and a warm , shallow mixed layer . Day length and insolation intensity also controls the extent of the photic zone . Subsurface productivity is limited by nutrient availability , as the anoxic bottom waters act as a sink for reduced nitrate , in the form of ammonia . The benthic zone also plays an important role in Black Sea nutrient cycling , as chemosynthetic organisms and anoxic geochemical pathways recycle nutrients which can be upwelled to the photic zone , enhancing productivity . In total , Black Sea 's biodiversity contains around one - third of Mediterranean 's , and is experiencing natural and artificial invasions or Mediterranizations . Phytoplankton ( edit ) Phytoplankton blooms and plumes of sediment form the bright blue swirls that ring the Black Sea in this 2004 image The main phytoplankton groups present in the Black Sea are dinoflagellates , diatoms , coccolithophores and cyanobacteria . Generally , the annual cycle of phytoplankton development comprises significant diatom and dinoflagellate - dominated spring production , followed by a weaker mixed assemblage of community development below the seasonal thermocline during summer months and a surface - intensified autumn production . This pattern of productivity is also augmented by an Emiliania huxleyi bloom during the late spring and summer months . Dinoflagellates Annual dinoflagellate distribution is defined by an extended bloom period in subsurface waters during the late spring and summer . In November , subsurface plankton production is combined with surface production , due to vertical mixing of water masses and nutrients such as nitrite . The major bloom - forming dinoflagellate species in the Black Sea is Gymnodinium sp . Estimates of dinoflagellate diversity in the Black Sea range from 193 to 267 species . This level of species richness is relatively low in comparison to the Mediterranean Sea , which is attributable to the brackish conditions , low water transparency and presence of anoxic bottom waters . It is also possible that the low winter temperatures below 4 ° C ( 39 ° F ) of the Black Sea prevent thermophilous species from becoming established . The relatively high organic matter content of Black Sea surface water favour the development of heterotrophic ( an organism which uses organic carbon for growth ) and mixotrophic dinoflagellates species ( able to exploit different trophic pathways ) , relative to autotrophs . Despite its unique hydrographic setting , there are no confirmed endemic dinoflagellate species in the Black Sea . Diatoms The Black Sea is populated by many species of marine diatom , which commonly exist as colonies of unicellular , non-motile auto - and heterotrophic algae . The life - cycle of most diatoms can be described as ' boom and bust ' and the Black Sea is no exception , with diatom blooms occurring in surface waters throughout the year , most reliably during March . In simple terms , the phase of rapid population growth in diatoms is caused by the in - wash of silicon - bearing terrestrial sediments , and when the supply of silicon is exhausted , the diatoms begin to sink out of the photic zone and produce resting cysts . Additional factors such as predation by zooplankton and ammonium - based regenerated production also have a role to play in the annual diatom cycle . Typically , Proboscia alata blooms during spring and Pseudosolenia calcar - avis blooms during the autumn . Coccolithophores Coccolithophores are a type of motile , autotrophic phytoplankton that produce CaCO plates , known as coccoliths , as part of their life cycle . In the Black Sea , the main period of coccolithophore growth occurs after the bulk of the dinoflagellate growth has taken place . In May , the dinoflagellates move below the seasonal thermocline , into deeper waters , where more nutrients are available . This permits coccolithophores to utilise the nutrients in the upper waters , and by the end of May , with favourable light and temperature conditions , growth rates reach their highest . The major bloom forming species is Emiliania huxleyi , which is also responsible for the release of dimethyl sulfide into the atmosphere . Overall , coccolithophore diversity is low in the Black Sea , and although recent sediments are dominated by E. huxleyi , Braarudosphaera bigelowii , Holocene sediments have also been shown to contain Helicopondosphaera and Discolithina species . Cyanobacteria Cyanobacteria are a phylum of picoplanktonic ( plankton ranging in size from 0.2 to 2.0 μm ) bacteria that obtain their energy via photosynthesis , and are present throughout the world 's oceans . They exhibit a range of morphologiies , including filamentous colonies and biofilms . In the Black Sea , several species are present , and as an example , Synechococcus spp . can be found throughout the photic zone , although concentration decreases with increasing depth . Other factors which exert an influence on distribution include nutrient availability , predation and salinity . Animal species ( edit ) Zebra mussel The Black Sea along with the Caspian Sea is part of the Zebra mussel 's native range . The mussel has been accidentally introduced around the world and become an invasive species where it has been introduced . Common Carp The Common Carp 's native range extends to The Black Sea along with the Caspian Sea and Aral Sea . Like the Zebra mussel the Common Carp is an invasive species when introduced to other habitats . Round Goby Is another native fish that is also found in the Caspian Sea . It preys upon Zebra mussels . Like the mussels and common carp it has become invasive when introduced to other environments , like the Great Lakes . Marine Mammals and marine megafaunas Marine mammals present within the basin include two species of dolphins ( common and bottlenose ) and harbour porpoise inhabit the sea although all of these are endangered due to pressures and impacts by human activities . All the three species have been classified as a distinct subspecies from those in the Mediterranean and in Atlantic Seas and endemic to Black and Azov Seas , and are more active during nights in Turkish Straits . However , construction of the Crimean Bridge caused increases in nutrients and planktons in the waters , attracting large numbers of fish and more than 1,000 bottlenose dolphins . On the other hand , however , others claim that construction may cause devastating damages on ecosystem including dolphins . Critically endangered Mediterranean monk seals were historically abundant in Black Sea , and are regarded to have become extinct from the basin since in 1997 . Monk seals were present at the Snake Island until 1950s , and several locations such as the Danube Plavni Nature Reserve ( ru ) and Doğankent were last of hauling - out sites in post-1990 . Very few animals still thrive in the Sea of Marmara . Ongoing Mediterranizations may or may not boost in increases of cetacean diversity in Turkish Straits hence in Black and Azov basins . Various species of pinnipeds , sea otter , and beluga whales were introduced into the Black Sea by mankind and later escaped either by accidental or purported causes . Of these , grey seal and beluga whales have been recorded with successful , long - term occurrences . Great white sharks are known to reach into the Sea of Marmara and Bosphorus Strait and basking shark into Dardanelles although it is unclear whether or not these sharks may reach into the Black and Azov basins . Common dolphins porpoising with a ferry at Batumi port Ecological effects of pollution ( edit ) Since the 1960s , rapid industrial expansion along the Black Sea coast line and the construction of a major dam has significantly increased annual variability in the N : P : Si ratio in the basin . In coastal areas , the biological effect of these changes has been an increase in the frequency of monospecific phytoplankton blooms , with diatom bloom frequency increasing by a factor of 2.5 and non-diatom bloom frequency increasing by a factor of 6 . The non-diatoms , such as the prymnesiophytes Emiliania huxleyi ( coccolithophore ) , Chromulina sp. , and the Euglenophyte Eutreptia lanowii are able to out - compete diatom species because of the limited availability of Si , a necessary constituent of diatom frustules . As a consequence of these blooms , benthic macrophyte populations were deprived of light , while anoxia caused mass mortality in marine animals . The decline in macrophytes was further compounded by overfishing during the 1970s , while the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis reduced the biomass of copepods and other zooplankton in the late 1980s . Additionally , an alien species -- the warty comb jelly ( Mnemiopsis leidyi ) -- was able to establish itself in the basin , exploding from a few individuals to an estimated biomass of one billion metric tons . The change in species composition in Black Sea waters also has consequences for hydrochemistry , as Ca - producing coccolithophores influence salinity and pH , although these ramifications have yet to be fully quantified . In central Black Sea waters , Si levels were also significantly reduced , due to a decrease in the flux of Si associated with advection across isopycnal surfaces . This phenomenon demonstrates the potential for localised alterations in Black Sea nutrient input to have basin - wide effects . Pollution reduction and regulation efforts have led to a partial recovery of the Black Sea ecosystem during the 1990s , and an EU monitoring exercise , ' EROS21 ' , revealed decreased N and P values , relative to the 1989 peak . Recently , scientists have noted signs of ecological recovery , in part due to the construction of new sewage treatment plants in Slovakia , Hungary , Romania , and Bulgaria in connection with membership in the European Union . Mnemiopsis leidyi populations have been checked with the arrival of another alien species which feeds on them . Jellyfish Actinia Actinia Goby Stingray Goat fish Hermit crab , Diogenes pugilator Blue sponge Spiny dogfish Seahorse Black Sea Common Dolphins with a kite - surfer off Sochi Terrestrial ( edit ) Statues of a man and a tiger , on the way to Mount Akhun . In the past , the range of the Asiatic lion extended from South Asia to the Balkans , possibly up to the Danube . Places like Turkey and the Trans - Caucasus were in this range . The Caspian tiger occurred in eastern Turkey and the Caucasus , at least . The lyuti zver ( Old Russian for `` fierce animal '' ) that was encountered by Vladimir II Monomakh , Velikiy Kniaz of Kievan Rus ' ( which ranged to the Black Sea in the south ) , may have been a tiger or leopard , rather than a wolf or lynx , due to the way it behaved towards him and his horse . Climate ( edit ) The ice on the Gulf of Odessa Short - term climatic variation in the Black Sea region is significantly influenced by the operation of the North Atlantic oscillation , the climatic mechanisms resulting from the interaction between the north Atlantic and mid-latitude air masses . While the exact mechanisms causing the North Atlantic Oscillation remain unclear , it is thought the climate conditions established in western Europe mediate the heat and precipitation fluxes reaching Central Europe and Eurasia , regulating the formation of winter cyclones , which are largely responsible for regional precipitation inputs and influence Mediterranean Sea Surface Temperatures ( SST 's ) . The relative strength of these systems also limits the amount of cold air arriving from northern regions during winter . Other influencing factors include the regional topography , as depressions and storms systems arriving from the Mediterranean are funneled through the low land around the Bosphorus , Pontic and Caucasus mountain ranges acting as wave guides , limiting the speed and paths of cyclones passing through the region . Islands ( 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 . ( January 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) There are some islands in the Black sea that belong to Bulgaria , Romania , Turkey , and Ukraine : St. Thomas Island -- Bulgaria St. Anastasia Island -- Bulgaria St. Cyricus Island -- Bulgaria St. Ivan Island -- Bulgaria St. Peter Island -- Bulgaria Sacalinu Mare Island -- Romania Sacalinu Mic Island -- Romania Novaya Zemliya -- Romania Utrish Island Krupinin Island Sudiuk Island Kefken Island Oreke Island Giresun Island Dzharylgach Island -- Ukraine Zmiinyi ( Snake ) Island -- Ukraine History ( edit ) Mediterranean connection during the Holocene ( edit ) The Bosphorus , taken from the International Space Station Map of the Dardanelles The Black Sea is connected to the World Ocean by a chain of two shallow straits , the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus . The Dardanelles is 55 m ( 180 ft ) deep and the Bosphorus is as shallow as 36 m ( 118 ft ) . By comparison , at the height of the last ice age , sea levels were more than 100 m ( 330 ft ) lower than they are now . There is also evidence that water levels in the Black Sea were considerably lower at some point during the post-glacial period . Some researchers theorize that the Black Sea had been a landlocked freshwater lake ( at least in upper layers ) during the last glaciation and for some time after . In the aftermath of the last glacial period , water levels in the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea rose independently until they were high enough to exchange water . The exact timeline of this development is still subject to debate . One possibility is that the Black Sea filled first , with excess fresh water flowing over the Bosphorus sill and eventually into the Mediterranean Sea . There are also catastrophic scenarios , such as the `` Black Sea deluge theory '' put forward by William Ryan , Walter Pitman and Petko Dimitrov . Deluge hypothesis ( edit ) Main article : Black Sea deluge hypothesis The Black Sea deluge is a hypothesized catastrophic rise in the level of the Black Sea circa 5600 BC due to waters from the Mediterranean Sea breaching a sill in the Bosporus Strait . The hypothesis was headlined when The New York Times published it in December 1996 , shortly before it was published in an academic journal . While it is agreed that the sequence of events described did occur , there is debate over the suddenness , dating and magnitude of the events . Relevant to the hypothesis is that its description has led some to connect this catastrophe with prehistoric flood myths . Recorded History ( edit ) A medieval map of the Black Sea by Diogo Homem . Greek colonies ( 8th -- 3rd century BCE ) of the Black Sea ( Euxine , or `` hospitable '' sea ) . The Black Sea was a busy waterway on the crossroads of the ancient world : the Balkans to the west , the Eurasian steppes to the north , Caucasus and Central Asia to the east , Asia Minor and Mesopotamia to the south , and Greece to the south - west . The oldest processed gold in the world was found in Varna , Bulgaria , and the Black Sea was supposedly sailed by the Argonauts . The land at the eastern end of the Black Sea , Colchis , ( now Georgia ) , marked for the Greeks the edge of the known world . The steppes to the north of the Black Sea have been suggested as the original homeland ( Urheimat ) of the speakers of the Proto - Indo - European language , ( PIE ) the progenitor of the Indo - European language family , by some scholars such as Marija Gimbutas ; others move the heartland further east towards the Caspian Sea , yet others to Anatolia . The Black Sea became an Ottoman Navy lake within five years of Genoa losing the Crimea in 1479 , after which the only Western merchant vessels to sail its waters were those of Venice 's old rival Ragusa . This restriction was gradually changed by the Russian Navy from 1783 until the relaxation of export controls in 1789 because of the French Revolution . The Black Sea was a significant naval theatre of World War I and saw both naval and land battles during World War II . Archaeology ( edit ) Ivan Aivazovsky . Black Sea Fleet in the Bay of Theodosia , just before the Crimean War Ancient trade routes in the region are currently being extensively studied by scientists , as the Black Sea was sailed by Hittites , Carians , Colchians , Thracians , Greeks , Persians , Cimmerians , Scythians , Romans , Byzantines , Goths , Huns , Avars , Bulgars , Slavs , Varangians , Crusaders , Venetians , Genoese , Lithuanians , Georgians , Poles , Tatars , Ottomans , and Russians . Perhaps the most promising areas in deepwater archaeology are the quest for submerged prehistoric settlements in the continental shelf and for ancient shipwrecks in the anoxic zone , which are expected to be exceptionally well preserved due to the absence of oxygen . This concentration of historical powers , combined with the preservative qualities of the deep anoxic waters of the Black Sea , has attracted increased interest from marine archaeologists who have begun to discover a large number of ancient ships and organic remains in a high state of preservation . Modern Use ( edit ) Yalta , Crimea Amasra , Turkey , is located on a small island in the Black Sea Commercial and civic Use ( edit ) According to NATO , the Black sea is a strategic corridor that provides smuggling channels for moving legal and illegal goods including drugs , radioactive materials , and counterfeit goods that can be used to finance terrorism . Navigation ( edit ) Ports and ferry terminals ( edit ) According to the International Transport Workers ' Federation 2013 study , there were at least 30 operating merchant seaports in the Black Sea ( including at least 12 in Ukraine ) . Merchant fleet and traffic ( edit ) According to the International Transport Workers ' Federation 2013 study , there were around 2,400 commercial vessels operating in the Black Sea . Fishing ( edit ) Anchovy : the Turkish commercial fishing fleet catches around 300,000 tons per year on average , and fishery carried out mainly in winter and the highest portion of the stock is caught between November and December . Hydrocarbons exploration ( edit ) Since the 1980s , the Soviet Union started offshore drilling for petroleum in the sea 's western portion ( adjoining Ukraine 's coast ) . The independent Ukraine continued and intensified that effort within its exclusive economic zone , inviting major international oil companies for exploration . Discovery of the new , massive oilfields in the area stimulated an influx of foreign investments . It also provoked a short - term peaceful territorial dispute with Romania which was resolved in 2011 by an international court redefining the exclusive economic zones between the two countries . Holiday resorts and spas ( edit ) Cities of the Black Sea In the years following the end of the Cold War , the popularity of the Black Sea as a tourist destination steadily increased . Tourism at Black Sea resorts became one of the region 's growth industries . The following is a list of notable Black Sea resort towns : 2 Mai ( Romania ) Agigea ( Romania ) Ahtopol ( Bulgaria ) Amasra ( Turkey ) Anaklia ( Georgia ) Anapa ( Russia ) Albena ( Bulgaria ) Alupka ( Crimea , Russia / Ukraine ( disputed ) ) Alushta ( Crimea , Russia / Ukraine ( disputed ) ) Balchik ( Bulgaria ) Batumi ( Georgia ) Burgas ( Bulgaria ) Byala ( Bulgaria ) Cap Aurora ( Romania ) Chakvi ( Georgia ) Constantine and Helena ( Bulgaria ) Constanța ( Romania ) Corbu ( Romania ) Costineşti ( Romania ) Eforie ( Romania ) Emona ( Bulgaria ) Eupatoria ( Crimea , Russia / Ukraine ( disputed ) ) Foros ( Crimea , Russia / Ukraine ( disputed ) ) Feodosiya ( Crimea , Russia / Ukraine ( disputed ) ) Giresun ( Turkey ) Gagra ( Abkhazia , Georgia ) Gelendzhik ( Russia ) Golden Sands ( Bulgaria ) Gonio ( Georgia ) Gurzuf ( Crimea , Russia / Ukraine ( disputed ) ) Hopa ( Artvin , Turkey ) Istanbul ( Turkey ) Jupiter ( Romania ) Kamchia ( Bulgaria ) Kavarna ( Bulgaria ) Kiten ( Bulgaria ) Kobuleti ( Georgia ) Koktebel ( Crimea , Russia / Ukraine ( disputed ) ) Lozenetz ( Bulgaria ) Mamaia ( Romania ) Mangalia ( Romania ) Năvodari ( Romania ) Neptun ( Romania ) Nesebar ( Bulgaria ) Novorossiysk ( Russia ) Ordu ( Turkey ) Obzor ( Bulgaria ) Odessa ( Ukraine ) Olimp ( Romania ) Pitsunda ( Abkhazia , Georgia ) Pomorie ( Bulgaria ) Primorsko ( Bulgaria ) Rize ( Turkey ) Rusalka ( Bulgaria ) Samsun ( Turkey ) Saturn ( Romania ) Sinop ( Turkey ) Sochi ( Russia ) Sozopol ( Bulgaria ) Sudak ( Crimea , Russia / Ukraine ( disputed ) ) Skadovsk ( Ukraine ) Sulina ( Romania ) Sunny Beach ( Bulgaria ) Şile ( Turkey ) Sveti Vlas ( Bulgaria ) Trabzon ( Turkey ) Tsikhisdziri ( Georgia ) Tuapse ( Russia ) Ureki ( Georgia ) Vama Veche ( Romania ) Varna ( Bulgaria ) Venus ( Romania ) Yalta ( Crimea , Russia / Ukraine ( disputed ) ) Zonguldak ( Turkey ) Soviet frigate Bezzavetny ( right ) bumping the USS Yorktown during the 1988 Black Sea bumping incident .

However , a single country ( Turkey ) has a complete control over the straits connecting the two seas . The 1982 amendments to the Montreux Convention allow Turkey to close the Straits at its discretion in both wartime and peacetime . The 1936 Montreux Convention governs the passage of vessels between the Black and the Mediterranean Seas and the presence of military vessels belonging to non-littoral states in the Black Sea waters .

where is black sea located in the world

The Black Sea is a body of water and marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean between Eastern Europe , the Caucasus , and Western Asia . It is supplied by a number of major rivers , such as the Danube , Dnieper , Southern Bug , Dniester , Don , and the Rioni . About a third of Europe drains into the Black Sea , including the countries of Austria , Belarus , Bosnia and Herzegovina , Bulgaria , Croatia , Georgia , Germany , Hungary , Moldova , Poland , Romania , Russia , Serbia , Slovakia , Slovenia , Turkey and Ukraine .

Grand juries in the United States - wikipedia Grand juries in the United States Jump to : navigation , search A grand jury investigating the fire that destroyed the Arcadia Hotel in Boston , Massachusetts in November 1913 . The United States is one of only two common law jurisdictions in the world , along with Liberia , that continues to use the grand jury to screen criminal indictments . Generally speaking , a grand jury may issue an indictment for a crime , also known as a `` true bill , '' only if it finds , based upon the evidence that has been presented to it , that there is probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed by a criminal suspect . Unlike a petit jury , which resolves a particular civil or criminal case , a grand jury ( typically having twelve to twenty - three members ) serves as a group for a sustained period of time in all or many of the cases that come up in the jurisdiction , generally under the supervision of a federal U.S. attorney , a county district attorney , or a state attorney - general and hears evidence ex parte ( i.e. without suspect or person of interest involvement in the proceedings ) . While all states in the U.S. currently have provisions for grand juries , only half of the states actually employ them and twenty - two require their use , to varying extents . The modern trend is to use an adversarial preliminary hearing before a trial court judge , rather than grand jury , in the screening role of determining whether there is evidence establishing probable cause that a defendant committed a serious felony before that defendant is required to go to trial and risk a conviction on those charges . California , Florida , and some other states , also use ' civil grand juries ' , ' investigating grand juries ' , or the equivalent , to oversee and investigate the conduct of government institutions , in addition to dealing with criminal indictments .

During that period counties followed the traditional practice of requiring all decisions be made by at least twelve of the grand jurors , ( e.g. , for a twenty - three - person grand jury , twelve people would constitute a bare majority ) . Any citizen could bring a matter before a grand jury directly , from a public work that needed repair , to the delinquent conduct of a public official , to a complaint of a crime , and grand juries could conduct their own investigations . In that era most criminal prosecutions were conducted by private parties , either a law enforcement officer , a lawyer hired by a crime victim or his family , or even by laymen . A layman could bring a bill of indictment to the grand jury ; if the grand jury found there was sufficient evidence for a trial , that the act was a crime under law , and that the court had jurisdiction , it would return the indictment to the complainant . The grand jury would then appoint the complaining party to exercise the authority of an attorney general , that is , one having a general power of attorney to represent the state in the case . The grand jury served to screen out incompetent or malicious prosecutions . The advent of official public prosecutors in the later decades of the 19th century largely displaced private prosecutions . The federal constitutional right to have federal criminal charges screened by a grand jury is one of just a handful of provisions of the federal Bill of Rights that does not also apply to state and local governments . Federal law ( edit ) Grand jury clause ( edit ) The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that `` No person shall be held to answer for a capital , or otherwise infamous crime , unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury , except in cases arising in the land or naval forces , or in the Militia , when in actual service in time of War or public danger ... '' Misdemeanors are not presented to a grand jury , and are instead charged by prosecutor 's `` information . '' In the United States armed forces , an Article 32 hearing is used for a similar purpose . The grand jury right may be waived , including by plea agreement . A valid waiver must be made in open court and after the defendant has been advised of the nature of the charge and of the defendant 's rights . Federal rule of criminal Procedure 6 ( edit ) Rule 6 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure governs grand juries . It requires grand juries to be composed of 16 to 23 members and that 12 members must concur in an indictment . A grand jury is instructed to return an indictment if the probable cause standard has been met . The grand jury 's decision is either a `` true bill '' ( formerly billa vera , resulting in an `` indictment '' ) , or `` no true bill '' . Secrecy ( edit ) Grand jury proceedings are secret . No judge is present ; the proceedings are led by a prosecutor ; and the defendant has no right to present his case or ( in many instances ) to be informed of the proceedings at all . While court reporters usually transcribe the proceedings , the records are sealed . The case for such secrecy was unanimously upheld by the Burger Court in Douglas Oil Co. of Cal . v. Petrol Stops Northwest , 441 US 211 ( 1979 ) . The dissenting opinion was joined by Justices Burger and Stewart but concurred with the Court 's opinion as to the importance and rationale of grand jury secrecy . Writing for the Court , Justice Powell found that `` if preindictment proceedings were made public , many prospective witnesses would be hesitant to come forward voluntarily '' ; `` witnesses who appeared before the grand jury would be less likely to testify fully and frankly '' ; and `` there also would be the risk that those about to be indicted would flee , or would try to influence individual grand jurors '' . Further , `` persons who are accused but exonerated by the grand jury ( should ) not be held up to public ridicule '' . United States v. Procter & Gamble Co. , 356 US 677 ( 1958 ) , permitted the disclosure of grand jury transcripts under certain restrictions : `` a private party seeking to obtain grand jury transcripts must demonstrate that ' without the transcript a defense would be greatly prejudiced or that without reference to it an injustice would be done ' '' and must make its requests `` with particularity '' . Further , First Amendment protections generally permit the witnesses summoned by a grand jury to discuss their testimony , although Dennis v. United States , 384 US 855 ( 1966 ) , found that such public discussion permits release of the transcripts of their actual testimony . The Jencks Act , 18 U.S.C. § 3500 , requires the government to disclose to the defense any statements made by the accused to the grand jury , and , with respect to non-party witnesses , that after a witness has testified on direct examination at trial , any statement made to the grand jury by such witness be disclosed to the defense . Investigatory role ( edit ) The grand jury can compel a witness to testify . The target of a grand jury investigation has no right to testify or put on a defense before the grand jury . The U.S. Attorney 's Manual anticipates the possibility of allowing investigatory targets to testify . The U.S. Attorneys ' Manual states that prosecutors `` must recognize that the grand jury is an independent body , whose functions include not only the investigation of crime and the initiation of criminal prosecution but also the protection of the citizenry from unfounded criminal charges '' and that targets of investigations have the right to , and can , `` request or demand the opportunity to tell the grand jury their side of the story . '' Special grand jury ( edit ) United States law also provides for the formation of special grand juries . While a regular grand jury primarily decides whether to bring charges , a special grand jury is called into existence to investigate whether organized crime is occurring in the community in which it sits . This could include , for instance , organized drug activity or organized corruption in government . As provided in 18 U.S.C. § 3331 ( a ) , the U.S. District Court in every judicial district having more than four million inhabitants must impanel a special grand jury when requested by a designated official of the Justice Department . State law ( edit ) The grand jury clause of the Fifth Amendment has not been incorporated against the U.S. states . As a matter of state law , the states of Alaska , Arizona , Arkansas , California , Colorado , Delaware , Florida , Georgia , Hawaii , Idaho , Illinois , Indiana , Iowa , Kansas , Kentucky , Louisiana , Maine , Maryland , Massachusetts , Michigan ( convened by the Court of Appeals ) , Minnesota , Missouri , Mississippi , Montana , Nebraska , Nevada , New Hampshire , New Jersey , New Mexico , New York , North Carolina , North Dakota , Ohio , Oklahoma , Oregon , Pennsylvania , Rhode Island , South Carolina , South Dakota , Tennessee , Texas , Utah ( convened by a panel of judges ) , Virginia , Washington , West Virginia , Wyoming , as well as the District of Columbia , employ some form of grand jury . California ( edit ) The California constitution requires each county to have at least one grand jury impaneled at all times . Grand juries are governed by Title 4 and Title 5 of the California Penal Code , as well as Government Code 3060 and other more general provisions . In addition , grand juries are not subject to the Brown Act . Most county grand juries in California do not consider criminal matters . A decision to present criminal cases to the grand jury may be made by the county District Attorney , but it is neither a constitutional nor a statutory requirement . These county - level grand juries primarily focus on oversight of government institutions at the county level or lower . This is why California 's grand juries are often called civil grand juries . Almost any entity that receives public money can be examined by the grand jury , including county governments , cities , and special districts . Each panel selects the topics that it wishes to examine each year . A jury is not allowed to continue an oversight from a previous panel . If a jury wishes to look at a subject that a prior jury was examining , it must start its own investigation and independently verify all information . It may use information obtained from the prior jury but this information must be verified before it can be used by the current jury . Upon completing its investigation , the jury may , but is not required to , issue a report detailing its findings and recommendations . Most grand juries are seated on a fiscal cycle , i.e. July through June . Most counties have panels consisting of nineteen jurors , some have as few as eleven jurors , others have as many as twenty - three . Due to the length of service , grand jurors are usually selected on a volunteer basis . The grand jury is required to publish a minimum of one report containing a minimum of one finding and one recommendation . The published reports are the only public record of the grand jury 's work ; there is no minority report . Each published report includes a list of those public entities that are required or requested to respond . The format of these responses is dictated by California Penal Code Section 933.05 , as is the time span in which they must respond . County grand juries develop areas to examine by two avenues : juror interests and public complaints . Complaints filed by the public are kept confidential . The protection of whistleblowers is one of the primary reasons for the confidential nature of the grand jury 's work . Grand juries may charge public officials of `` willful or corrupt misconduct in office . '' The accusation is tried as if it were an indictment , and may not be dismissed for political or extra-legal motives . The definition of `` willful misconduct in office '' is reserved for serious misconduct , that is , criminal behavior or `` purposeful failure to carry out mandatory duties of office . '' In addition to the county grand juries in California , at least twice a year , the state impanels several Federal Grand Juries . The summons arrive in the mail just like regular jury summons . Jurors are requested to come on a certain date to be impaneled on the jury . There are over 500 people that attend this impanelment and multiple grand juries are chosen at this time . When the juries are chosen there are at least 50 alternates chosen as well . Each Grand Jury has 23 members and are expected to attend jury service one day per week for the time impaneled . The California Federal Grand Jury has two sections - the Accusatory and the Investigatory . Accusatory Grand Juries hear shorter less complicated criminal cases and often hear several cases each day in attendance . Accusatory Grand Juries are impaneled for four to six months . Accusatory grand jurors meet one day each week , always on the same day of the week . Each day met , the number of cases varies and jurors are expected to be available from 9 : 00 a.m. until 4 : 30 p.m. for these cases . Often accusatory jurors have a shortened day , but this is never predictable . A typical Accusatory Grand Juror 's day begins at 9 : 00 a.m. A Federal Attorney , the prosecutor , presents an indictment to the members of the jury . Then he brings in a witness , usually a Federal agent involved with the case , and questions him . When there are no more questions , the attorney , court reporter , and witness exit the room and the jurors are asked to deliberate the case . Grand jurors do not choose guilt but only decide if the case has probable cause to go to trial . Investigatory Grand Jurors are impaneled for at least one year of service . They meet one day a week , the same day of the week each week , to discuss and hear more involved Federal criminal cases that took place in California and in the county of the grand jury , some extending from week to week . Investigatory Grand Jurors are expected to be available from 9 : 00 a.m. until 4 : 30 p.m. for their cases . They are expected to return each week when called in to continue cases or start new ones . Federal Grand Jurors are paid a nominal fee for all days they are in court and receive travel expenses . The experience opens a small window into the inner workings of criminal proceedings and the input of Grand Jurors is an important check and balance to the government . Jurors are exposed to all manner of cases and work with a cross section of society to come to decisions on probable cause . Kentucky ( edit ) In Kentucky , grand jurors are impaneled in each county , at the Circuit Court level ( felonies only ) for a four - month term ( three panels per year ) . During the trial jury orientation for the given four - month term , the grand jurors are selected from the trial jury pool , although the method of selection is not necessarily random . The meetings are twice a month in most counties ( however , grand juries in more populous counties such as Jefferson ( Louisville ) and Fayette ( Lexington ) generally meet more often ) , with each meeting usually going through 20 - 30 cases in a four - to five - hour period . The indictment rate is about 98 - 99 % ; the grand jury can broaden ( about 1 % of the time ) or narrow ( about 3 % of the time ) the counts in the indictment as well . Usually , fifteen to twenty grand jurors are required to report to meetings ; the hope is that twelve will show to each meeting , which is the number of jurors required to hear cases ( an additional juror may be kept as an alternate while other extra jurors are typically excused for the day ) . It takes nine yes votes to the question of probable cause to sign a true bill of indictment . Fewer than nine yes votes either causes a no true bill or a narrowing of the indictment ( depending on the votes per count ) . The rules are very similar to the federal process ; the grand jury usually only hears from law enforcement personnel , with the exception of property crimes , where store detectives or actual victims of theft or vandalism are called to testify . The only cases brought to the grand jury are those initiated from the Commonwealth 's Attorney 's office ( the prosecutor for felonies ) . For the vast majority of cases , the grand jurors generally only hear a recitation of facts from the police report , crime laboratory & medical examiner reports , and other documentation generated during the evidence gathering process . Grand jurors can ask factual questions of the witnesses and legal questions of the Commonwealth 's Attorney or Assistant Commonwealth 's Attorney . The ability to broaden or narrow indictments does technically allow for grand juries to open new avenues of investigation , although since it is dependent on prosecutors for facts , this is very rarely done . Rules of confidentiality that apply to Kentucky grand jurors are similar to those that apply to federal grand juries . Louisiana ( edit ) Main article : Law of Louisiana The law of Louisiana is distinct from the other 49 states ; it has a civil law legal system rather than a common law system . The start of a grand jury may be attributed to an 1805 enactment of a law requiring all `` crimes , offenses and misdemeanors ( to ) be taken , intended and construed according to and in conformity with the common law of England . '' Provisions for a grand jury are spelled out in Article V Section § 34 ( a ) of the Louisiana Constitution of 1974 which states a grand jury shall consist of twelve members of a community , as peers of an accused , to weigh evidence presented to them to determine whether there is probable cause to charge the person with the offense . Secrecy is also covered , to be stipulated by law . Section § 34 ( b ) provides for a witness ' right to counsel stating , `` The legislature may establish by law the terms and conditions under which a witness may have the right to the advice of counsel while testifying before the grand jury . '' However , since a witness has no `` right to counsel '' under the United States Constitution , a Constitutional Amendment would be required to implement this language . Historically , a grand jury was empowered to investigate crimes committed within its jurisdiction , identify persons suspected of having committed offenses , determine whether there is probable cause to charge the person with the offense , and publish its findings to the court . This has changed over time , most notably in Article 209 of the 1928 Code stating the grand jury `` is to investigate non-capital offenses triable within the parish only when called to their attention by the district attorney or the court , '' and further removing the ability `` to act as a censory body of public morals . '' This effectively relegated the grand jury as a tool of the prosecutor . The 1950 Revised Statutes made a return to an 1870 provision that `` any member of the grand jury is required , under penalty of law , to bring to the attention of his fellow members any violation of the criminal law which may have come to his personal knowledge , or of which he may have been informed . '' This gives the view that a grand jury could initiate investigations or file charges on its own . Privileges against self - incrimination and the fact that a prosecutor can declare Nolle prosequi provides limitations . Although a grand jury may have the right to subpoena and to have persons and documents called before it , this is almost always limited to evidence and witnesses presented by a prosecutor . A grand jury is considered a jury of accusation and the petit jury as the jury of conviction . A grand jury may be presented with a bill of indictment , before or after a warrant of arrest on an indictable charge , at the discretion of a district attorney . He or she then presents evidence and witnesses to prove the charge . A grand jury can return a true bill , no true bill or a third option , `` pretermitting entirely the matter investigated '' . This requires nine of the twelve grand jurors to determine there is not enough evidence presented to determine if a person should or should not be charged with a crime . A grand jury is sometimes referred to as the passive collaborator of a prosecutor or a `` rubber stamp '' for an indictment , especially if simple acceptance of the bill of indictment is returned as a `` true bill . '' If a `` No True Bill '' is presented by a grand jury , the case is usually dropped . If a defendant is incarcerated , unless there are other charges , a prosecutor declares nolle prosequi , resubmits an indictment with new evidence , or brings charges of a lesser crime then , providing there is no gross oversight , the defendant is released . The theory is that if a prosecutor can not obtain a true bill , presenting the prosecutorial evidence with no defensive rebuttal , then a conviction is not likely . Suggestions for improvement ( edit ) A 1979 National Criminal Justice Reference Service ( NCJRS ) document identifies three steps that could be taken to remove the adversarial role of the grand jury and make them more independent ; ( 1 ) giving the target of the grand jury investigation the opportunity to testify ; ( 2 ) making a grand jury subpoena returnable only when the grand jury is sitting and identifying the general subject area of the investigation ; and ( 3 ) recording all grand jury proceedings ( except the jurors ' deliberations ) , making them accessible for pretrial discovery . Minnesota ( edit ) Hennepin County , Minnesota ( which contains Minneapolis ) keeps a grand jury impaneled at all times . Each grand jury serves a term of four months , typically meets one day each week , and focuses almost exclusively on homicide cases . New York ( edit ) In the State of New York , while a person can initially be charged with a felony via a sworn written accusation alone ( a `` felony complaint '' ) , the state constitution provides a defendant with a right to have all felonies prosecuted by way of a grand jury indictment . This right can be waived by a defendant , who can then be prosecuted using an indictment substitute called a `` superior court information . '' Grand juries are composed of between 16 and 23 jurors ( 16 being a quorum for all proceedings ) and indictments require a minimum vote of 12 such jurors . Grand juries may produce not only indictments but may direct the filing of misdemeanor charges in local courts , the removal of cases to Family Court , and may also issue `` grand jury reports '' concerning malfeasance of public officials and recommending their discipline . Both the prosecutor and the grand jury itself have the right to call witnesses to testify before the grand jury . With few exceptions , every witness who testifies before a grand jury receives transactional immunity automatically , whether they invoke their right to silence or not . If a grand jury is considering criminal charges against a person , that person has a right to testify before that grand jury , provided they make a timely written demand and then agree to waive their right to immunity . Despite this fact , an unwitting target of a grand jury proceeding has no right to be informed that their case is even being considered by a grand jury in the first place , unless they have already been arraigned on a felony complaint charging a related crime and are awaiting a preliminary hearing on that complaint . A defendant held in the state may testify to the grand jury . Virginia ( edit ) The Commonwealth of Virginia requires that all felonies be presented to a grand jury either directly or , more often , after certification following a preliminary hearing in district court . Commonwealth 's attorneys also have the option of obtaining a misdemeanor indictment from a grand jury . Grand juries are a part of the Commonwealth 's circuit court system and they meet at the beginning of each court term . Criticism ( edit ) Jury makeup ( edit ) The most persistent criticism of grand juries is that jurors are not a representative sampling of the community , and are not qualified for jury service , in that they do not possess a satisfactory ability to ask pertinent questions , or sufficient understanding of local government and the concept of due process . Unlike potential jurors in regular trials , grand jurors are not screened for bias or other improper factors . They are rarely read any instruction on the law , as this is not a requirement ; their job is only to judge on what the prosecutor produced . The prosecutor drafts the charges and decides which witnesses to call . Limited constitutional Rights ( edit ) The prosecutor is not obliged to present evidence in favor of those being investigated . Individuals subject to grand jury proceedings do not have a Sixth Amendment constitutional right to counsel in the grand jury room , nor do they have a Sixth Amendment right to confront and cross-examine witnesses . Additionally , individuals in grand jury proceedings can be charged with holding the court in contempt ( punishable with incarceration for the remaining term of the grand jury ) if they refuse to appear before the jury . Media coverage is not allowed . Furthermore , all evidence is presented by a prosecutor in a cloak of secrecy , as the prosecutor , grand jurors , and the grand jury stenographer are prohibited from disclosing what happened before the grand jury unless ordered to do so in a judicial proceeding . In 1974 the Supreme Court of the United States held in U.S. v. Calandra that `` the exclusionary rule in search - and - seizure cases does not apply to grand jury proceedings because the principal objective of the rule is ' to deter future unlawful police conduct , ' ( ... ) and ' it is unrealistic to assume that application of the rule to grand jury proceedings would significantly further that goal . ' '' Illegally obtained evidence , therefore , is admissible in grand jury proceedings , and the Fourth Amendment 's exclusionary rule does not apply . Intimidation tactic ( edit ) After a grand jury was commissioned to investigate whistleblowers organization WikiLeaks , grand juries have been accused of being used as an intimidation and persecution mechanism against whistleblowers who have been accused of leaking classified information . Rubber stamp for the prosecution ( edit ) According to the American Bar Association ( ABA ) , the grand jury has come under increasing criticism for being a mere `` rubber stamp '' for the prosecution without adequate procedural safeguards . Critics argue that the grand jury has largely lost its historic role as an independent bulwark protecting citizens from unfounded accusations by the government . Grand juries provide little protection to accused suspects and are much more useful to prosecutors . Grand juries have such broad subpoena power that they can investigate alleged crimes very thoroughly and often assist the prosecutor in his or her job . Grand juries sometimes compel witnesses to testify without the presence of their attorneys . Evidence uncovered during the grand jury investigation can be used by the prosecutor in a later trial . Grand jurors also often lack the ability and knowledge to judge sophisticated cases and complicated federal laws . This puts them at the mercy of very well trained and experienced federal prosecutors . Grand jurors often hear only the prosecutor 's side of the case and are usually persuaded by them . Grand juries almost always indict people on the prosecutor 's recommendation . A chief judge of New York State 's highest court , Sol Wachtler , once said that grand juries were so pliable that a prosecutor could get a grand jury to `` indict a ham sandwich . '' And William J. Campbell , a former federal district judge in Chicago , noted : `` ( T ) oday , the grand jury is the total captive of the prosecutor who , if he is candid , will concede that he can indict anybody , at any time , for almost anything , before any grand jury . '' 2014 police incidents ( edit ) The grand jury system in the United States came under renewed criticism following three high - profile cases in 2014 , where police officers caused the deaths of Michael Brown , Eric Garner , and Tamir Rice . In all three cases , after being presented the evidence , the grand juries voted not to return indictments . Public perception was that the officers involved had failed to follow proper police procedure . As a result , these grand jury decisions sparked riots across the United States . Reform of federal grand jury system ( edit ) Due to the criticism against the federal grand jury system there are some reform proposals which include the following proposals : Better instructions from judges to jurors about the grand jury 's powers and its independence from prosecutors Increased access to grand jury transcripts for suspects who are eventually indicted Expanded safeguards against abuse of witnesses , including education about their rights and the presence of their attorneys Notification of targets of investigations that they are targets Optional rather than mandatory appearances by targets of investigations An end to the requirement that prosecutors present defense evidence , and replacement with a requirement that grand jurors be informed that the defense was not represented in the hearing . Besides the above stated reform proposals , the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers ( NACDL ) established The Commission to Reform the Federal Grand Jury , a bi-partisan , blue - ribbon panel that included current and former prosecutors , as well as academics and defense attorneys . The unanimous conclusions and proposals of this diverse group were contained in the publication Federal Grand Jury Reform Report & ' Bill of Rights ' . Among the reforms detailed in that report were the right to counsel for grand jury witnesses who are not receiving immunity , an obligation to present evidence which may exonerate the target or subject of the offense , and the right for targets or subjects to testify . Researchers Erin Crites , Jon Gould and Colleen Shepard of the Center for Justice , Law & Society at George Mason University studied the experiences of prosecutors , defense lawyers , and retired judges in New York and Colorado . Four key reform recommendations emerged from their Evaluating Grand Jury Reform in Two States : The Case for Reform research study are : Defense representation in the grand jury room , production of witness transcripts for the defense , advance notice for witnesses to appear , and the presentation of exculpatory evidence to the grand jury . The Cato Institute , an American libertarian think tank headquartered in Washington , D.C. , presented a report , A Grand Facade : How the Grand Jury was Captured by Government which addresses the history of , problems with , and reforms for the grand jury system . `` Runaway '' grand jury ( edit ) Occasionally , grand juries go aggressively beyond the control of the prosecuting attorney . When the grand jury does so the situation is called a `` runaway '' grand jury . Runaway grand juries sometimes happen in government corruption or organized crime cases if the grand jury comes to believe that the prosecutor himself has been improperly influenced . Such cases were common in the 19th century but have become infrequent since the 1930s . The 1935 Runaway Grand Jury in New York County was investigating gambling and mobster Dutch Schultz when jury members complained in open court that prosecutors were not pursuing obvious leads and hinted that the district attorney was possibly receiving payoffs . Thomas E. Dewey was appointed as an independent prosecutor . Grand juries in literature ( edit ) Scott Turow 's second novel The Burden of Proof deals extensively with the workings and shortcomings of the Federal Grand Jury system in a fictional county in Illinois . Turow is himself a practicing lawyer and acted as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Chicago between 1978 and 1986 . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Nestmann , Mark ( March 15 , 2011 ) .

( January 2009 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The intellectual property rights on photographs are protected in different jurisdictions by the laws governing copyright and moral rights . In some cases photography may be restricted by civil or criminal law . Publishing certain photographs can be restricted by privacy or other laws . Photography of certain subject matter can be generally restricted in the interests of public morality and the protection of children . Reactions to photography differ between societies , and even where there are no official restrictions there may be objections to photographing people or places . Reactions may range from complaints to violence for photography which is not illegal .

Mass photo gathering in UK . In the United Kingdom there are no laws forbidding photography of private property from a public place . Photography on private land is not restricted if the landowner has given permission . However , landowners are permitted to impose any conditions they wish upon entry to a property , including forbidding or restricting photography . Two public locations in the UK , Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square , have a specific provision against photography for commercial purposes without the written permission of the Mayor , or the Squares ' Management Team and paying a fee , and permission is needed to photograph or film for commercial purposes in the Royal Parks . Persistent or aggressive photography of a single individual may come under the legal definition of harassment . It is contempt of court , a criminal offence , to take a photograph in any court of law of any person , being a judge of the court or a juror or a witness in or a party to any proceedings before the court , whether civil or criminal , or to publish such a photograph . This includes photographs taken in a court building or the precincts of the court . Taking a photograph in a court can be seen as a serious offence , leading to a prison sentence . The prohibition on taking photographs in the precincts is vague . It was designed to prevent the undermining of the dignity of the court , through the exploitation of images in low brow `` picture papers '' . Photography of certain subject matter is restricted in the United Kingdom . In particular , the Protection of Children Act 1978 restricts making or possessing pornography of children under 18 , or what looks like pornography of under - 18s . There is no law prohibiting photographing children in public spaces . It is an offence under the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 to publish or communicate a photograph of a constable ( not including PCSOs ) , a member of the armed forces , or a member of the security services , which is of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism . There is a defence of acting with a reasonable excuse ; however , the burden of proof is on the defence , under section 58A of the Terrorism Act 2000 . A PCSO in 2009 cited Section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000 to prevent a member of the public photographing him . Section 44 actually concerns stop and search powers . However , in January 2010 the stop - and - search powers granted under Section 44 were ruled illegal by the European Court of Human Rights . Following a prolonged campaign , including a series of demonstrations by photographers dealt with by police officers and PCSOs , the Metropolitan Police was forced to issue updated legal advice which confirms that `` Members of the public and the media do not need a permit to film or photograph in public places and police have no power to stop them filming or photographing incidents or police personnel '' and that `` The power to stop and search someone under Section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000 no longer exists . '' It is an offence under section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000 to take a photograph of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism , or possessing such a photograph . There is an identical defence of reasonable excuse . This offence ( and possibly , but not necessarily the s . 58 ( a ) offence ) covers only a photograph as described in s . 2 ( 3 ) ( b ) of the Terrorism Act 2006 . As such , it must be of a kind likely to provide practical assistance to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism . Whether the photograph in question is such is a matter for a jury , which is not required to look at the surrounding circumstances . The photograph must contain information of such a nature as to raise a reasonable suspicion that it was intended to be used to assist in the preparation or commission of an act of terrorism . It must call for an explanation . A photograph which is innocuous on its face will not fall foul of the provision if the prosecution adduces evidence that it was intended to be used for the purpose of committing or preparing a terrorist act . The defence may prove a reasonable excuse simply by showing that the photograph is possessed for a purpose other than to assist in the commission or preparation of an act of terrorism , even if the purpose of possession is otherwise unlawful . Copyright ( edit ) Copyright can subsist in an original photograph , i.e. a recording of light or other radiation on any medium on which an image is produced or from which an image by any means be produced , and which is not part of a film . Whilst photographs are classified as artistic works , the subsistence of copyright does not depend on artistic merit . The owner of the copyright in the photograph is the photographer -- the person who creates it , by default . However , where a photograph is taken by an employee in the course of employment , the first owner of the copyright is the employer , unless there is an agreement to the contrary . Copyright which subsists in a photograph protects not merely the photographer from direct copying of his / her work , but also from indirect copying to reproduce his / her work , where a substantial part of his / her work has been copied . Copyright in a photograph lasts for 70 years from the end of the year in which the photographer dies . A consequence of this lengthy period of existence of the copyright is that many family photographs which have no market value , but significant emotional value , remain subject to copyright , even when the original photographer can not be traced ( a problem known as copyright orphan ) , has given up photography , or died . In the absence of a licence , it will be an infringement of copyright in the photographs to copy them . When someone dies the rights will have transferred to someone else , perhaps through testamentary deposition ( a will ) or by inheritance . If there was no will , or if the photographer has not specified where the rights in the material should go , then the normal rules of inheritance will apply ( although these rules are not specific to copyright and legal advice should be sought ) . Scanning old family photographs , without permission , to a digital file for personal use is prima facie an infringement of copyright . Certain photographs may not be protected by copyright . Section 171 ( 3 ) of the Copyright , Designs and Patents Act 1988 gives courts jurisdiction to refrain from enforcing the copyright which subsists in works on the grounds of public interest . For example , patent diagrams are held to be in the public domain , and are thus not subject to copyright . Infringement ( edit ) `` No photographs '' sticker . Designed for persons at conferences who do not want any digital likeness of them taken , including video , photography , audio , etc . Infringement of the copyright which subsists in a photograph can be performed through copying the photograph . This is because the owner of the copyright in the photograph has the exclusive right to copy the photograph . For there to be infringement of the copyright in a photograph , there must be copying of a substantial part of the photograph . A photograph can also be a mechanism of infringement of the copyright which subsists in another work . For example , a photograph which copies a substantial part of an artistic work , such as a sculpture , painting or another photograph ( without permission ) would infringe the copyright which subsists in those works . However , the subject matter of a photograph is not necessarily subject to an independent copyright . For example , in the Creation Records case , a photographer , attempting to create a photograph for an album cover , set up an elaborate and artificial scene . A photographer from a newspaper covertly photographed the scene and published it in the newspaper . The court held that the newspaper photographer did not infringe the official photographer 's copyright . Copyright did not subsist in the scene itself -- it was too temporary to be a collage , and could not be categorised as any other form of artistic work . The protection of photographs in this manner has been criticised on two grounds . Firstly , it is argued that photographs should not be protected as artistic works , but should instead be protected in a manner similar to that of sound recordings and films . In other words , copyright should not protect the subject matter of a photograph as a matter of course as a consequence of a photograph being taken . It is argued that protection of photographs as artistic works is anomalous , in that photography is ultimately a medium of reproduction , rather than creation . As such , it is more similar to a film , or sound recording than a painting or sculpture . Some photographers share this view . For example , Michael Reichmann described photography as an art of disclosure , as opposed to an art of inclusion . Secondly , it is argued that the protection of photographs as artistic works leads to bizarre results . Subject matter is protected irrespective of the artistic merit of a photograph . The subject matter of a photograph is protected even when it is not deserving of protection . For copyright to subsist in photographs as artistic works , the photographs must be original , since the English test for originality is based on skill , labour and judgment . That said , it is possible that the threshold of originality is very low . Essentially , by this , Arnold is arguing that whilst the subject matter of some photographs may deserve protection , it is inappropriate for the law to presume that the subject matter of all photographs is deserving of protection . It is possible to say with a high degree of confidence that photographs of three - dimensional objects , including artistic works , will be treated by a court as themselves original artistic works , and as such , will be subject to copyright . It is likely that a photograph ( including a scan -- digital scanning counts as photography for the purposes of the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 ) of a two dimensional artistic work , such as another photograph or a painting will also be subject to copyright if a significant amount of skill , labour and judgment went into its creation . Photography and privacy ( edit ) A right to privacy came into existence in UK law as a consequence of the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights into domestic law through the Human Rights Act 1998 . This can result in restrictions on the publication of photography . Whether this right is caused by horizontal effect of the Human Rights Act 1998 or is judicially created is a matter of some controversy . The right to privacy is protected by Article 8 of the convention . In the context of photography , it stands at odds to the Article 10 right of freedom of expression . As such , courts will consider the public interest in balancing the rights through the legal test of proportionality . A very limited statutory right to privacy exists in the Copyright , Designs and Patents Act 1988 . This right is held , for example , by someone who hires a photographer to photograph their wedding . The commissioner , irrespective of any copyright which he does or does not hold in the photograph , of a photograph which was commissioned for private and domestic purposes , where copyright subsists in the photograph , has the right not to have copies of the work issued to the public , the work exhibited in public or the work communicated to the public . However , this right will not be infringed if the rightholder gives permission . It will not be infringed if the photograph is incidentally included in an artistic work , film , or broadcast . United States ( edit ) Local , state , and national laws govern still and motion photography . Laws vary between jurisdictions , and what is not illegal in one place may be illegal in another . Typical laws in the United States are as follows : Public property ( edit ) Some museums do not allow photography . It is legal to photograph or videotape anything and anyone on any public property . Photographing or videotaping a tourist attraction , whether publicly or privately owned , is generally considered legal , unless explicitly prohibited by a specific law or statute . Private property ( edit ) Photography may be prohibited or restricted by a property owner on their property . However , a property owner generally can not restrict the photographing of the property by individuals who are not within the bounds of the property . Photography on private property that is generally open to the public ( e.g. , a shopping mall ) is usually permitted unless explicitly prohibited by posted signs . Even if no such signs are posted , the property owner or agent can ask a person to stop photographing , and if the person refuses to do so , the owner or agent can ask the person to leave ; in some jurisdictions , a person who refuses to leave can be arrested for criminal trespass , and many jurisdictions recognize the common - law right to use reasonable force to remove a trespasser ; a person who forcibly resists a lawful removal may be liable for battery , assault , or both . Entry onto private property not normally open to the public usually requires permission from the property owner . Some jurisdictions have laws regarding filming while in a hospital or health care facility . Where permitted , such filming may be useful in gathering evidence in cases of abuse , neglect , or malpractice . Privacy issues ( edit ) Further information : Privacy laws of the United States Photographing private property from within the public domain is not illegal , with the exception of an area that is generally regarded as private , such as a bedroom , bathroom , or hotel room . In some states there is no definition of `` private , '' in which case , there is a general expectation of privacy . Should the subjects not attempt to conceal their private affairs , their actions immediately become public to a photographer using normal photographic equipment . Many places have laws prohibiting photographing private areas under a person 's clothing without that person 's permission . This also applies to any filming of another within a public restroom or locker room . Some jurisdictions have banned the use of a telephone with camera functionality within a restroom or locker room in order to prevent this . The United States enacted the Video Voyeurism Prevention Act of 2004 to punish those who intentionally capture an individual 's private areas without consent , when the person knew the subject had an expectation of privacy . State laws have also been passed addressing this issue . Commercial photography ( edit ) In certain locations , such as California State Parks , commercial photography requires a permit and sometimes proof of insurance . In places such as the city of Hermosa Beach in California , commercial photography on both public property and private property is subject to permit regulations and possibly also insurance requirements . At the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park , commercial photography requires a permit under certain circumstances . For photography that involves the advertising of a commercial product or service , or photography that involves sets or props or models , a permit is required . In addition , if the photography has aspects that may be disruptive to others , such as additional equipment or a significant number of personnel or the use of public areas for more than four hours , it is necessary to obtain a permit . If a photographer or related personnel need to access an area during a time when the area is normally closed , or if access to a restricted area is involved , the photography requires a permit . For commercial portrait photographers , there is a streamlined process for photography permits . In the case of National Park system units , commercial filming and / or audio recording requires a permit and liability insurance . Still photography that uses models or props for the purpose of commercial advertising requires a permit and proof of insurance . If a photograph shows private property in such a manner that a viewer of the photograph can identify the owner of the property , the ASMP ( American Society of Media Photographers , Inc . ) recommends that a property release should be used if the photograph is to be used for advertising and / or commercial purposes . According to the ASMP , a property release may be a requirement in such a situation . Other issues ( edit ) Photographing accident scenes and law enforcement activities is usually legal . At the same time , one must not hinder the operations of law enforcement , medical , emergency , or security personnel by filming . Any filming with the intent of doing unlawful harm against a subject may be a violation of the law in itself . Hong Kong ( edit ) A sign declaring `` No Phototaking '' inside a Hong Kong public library In some public property owned by government , such as law courts , government buildings , libraries , civic centres and some of the museums in Hong Kong , photography is not allowed without permission from the government . It is illegal to equip or take photographs and recording in a place of public entertainment , such as cinemas and indoor theaters . In private property , photography may be prohibited or restricted by a property owner on their property . Photography on private property that is generally open to the public ( e.g. , a shopping mall ) is usually permitted unless explicitly prohibited by posted signs . Even if no such signs are posted , the property owner or agent can ask a person to stop photographing , and if the person refuses to do so , the owner or agent can ask the person to leave ; in some jurisdictions , a person who refuses to leave can be arrested for criminal trespass , and many jurisdictions recognize the common - law right to use reasonable force to remove a trespasser ; a person who forcibly resists a lawful removal may be liable for battery , assault , or both . Hungary ( edit ) In Hungary , from 15 March 2014 when the long - awaited Civil Code was published , the law re-stated what had been normal practice , namely , that a person had the right to refuse being photographed . However , implied consent exists : it is not illegal to photograph a person who does not actively object . Macau ( edit ) In Macau , a photographer must not take or publish any photographs of a person against his / her will without legal justification , even in a public place . Besides , everyone has a right to Personality Rights . People are not to be photographed , photographs of them displayed or reproduced without their prior consent . Criminal penalties include imprisonment . Additionally , photography of police officers in Macau is illegal . South Africa ( edit ) In South Africa photographing people in public is legal . Reproducing and selling photographs of people is legal for editorial and limited fair use commercial purposes . There exists no case law to define what the limits on commercial use are . Civil law requires the consent of any identifiable persons for advertorial and promotional purposes . Property , including animals , do not enjoy any special consideration . During the media coverage of the Nkandla controversy it emerged that there exists a law , the National Key Points Act , 1980 , prohibiting the photographing of any `` national key points . '' National key points are buildings or structures that serve a strategic or military purpose . Though it was n't revealed what these are as part of state secrecy it was claimed that the presidential residence is one of them and should thus not be shown in media . Subsequent court action resulted in it being ruled that a list of all key points be made public . Although not currently or previously enforced the law is still in effect even after calls for it to be repealed as a relic of apartheid - era secrecy legislation . Sudan and South Sudan ( edit ) Travelers who wish to take any photographs must obtain a photography permit from the Ministry of Interior , Department of Aliens ( Sudan ) or Ministry of Information ( South Sudan ) . India ( edit ) Regulations apply to land - based photography for certain locations . A permit is required for aerial photography in India , which normally takes over a month to be issued . Iceland ( edit ) Calling oneself a photographer , in line with most other trades in Iceland , requires the person to hold a Journeyman 's or Master 's Certificates in the industry . Exceptions can be made in low population areas , or for people coming from within the EEA . Spain ( edit ) Taking pictures of police officers in many circumstances was made illegal by a 2015 `` Citizens ' Security Law '' with the stated purpose of protecting police officers and their families from harassment . The law has generated controversy because it may be harder to denounce police brutality . A far more limited version of the law had been in effect for several decades regarding when police work related to terrorism . A person was fined under this law for taking and publishing online a photograph of an illegally parked police car . Mexico ( edit ) Mexican law is similar to the law in the United States . Authorities may intimidate or prevent any holder of a camera if they come into close perimeters of Government buildings . South Korea ( edit ) Photographing women without their consent is criminal sexual assault in South Korea . In South Korea , taking pictures of women without their consent , even in public , is considered to be criminal sexual assault , punishable by a fine of under 10 million won and up to 5 years imprisonment . In July 2017 an amendment to the law was voted on in favour of allowing for chemical castration of people taking such photographs .

When his temper causes a `` premature hatching '' of another bird 's egg , he is sentenced to take an anger management class . Red 's classmates Chuck , who is hyperactive and can move at the speed of light , and Bomb , who can cause explosions with his anger and fear , try to befriend him , but he avoids them . One day , a boat docks at the island 's shore , destroying Red 's house . The birds are greeted by green - colored pigs and their captain Leonard , who claim to be peaceful explorers bringing offerings of friendship . The pigs ingratiate with the birds , introducing them to various innovations , notably a giant slingshot , but begin to overwhelm the island with their numbers and Red becomes suspicious . Red recruits Chuck and Bomb to find Mighty Eagle , the only flying bird and the island 's protector , who has not been seen for many years . They find Mighty Eagle on top of Bird Mountain , but he is overweight , self - absorbed , leads the life of a slacker , and refuses to help them . Red discovers the pigs planting dynamite around the island while the other birds are distracted with a rave party , but they arrive too late to warn them as the pigs escape with the eggs and activate the dynamite , destroying the village . The other birds apologize to Red for not believing him , and under his leadership they organize an army and construct a boat from the rubble to follow the pigs to Piggy Island . The birds discover the pigs living in a walled city ruled by Leonard , whose true name is `` King Mudbeard '' . Deducing the eggs are in the castle at the center of the city , the birds use the slingshot to attack by launching themselves over the walls and into the city 's buildings , destroying them . Red , Chuck , and Bomb discover the eggs being lowered into a giant pot from a net , the pigs planning to cook and eat them . Mighty Eagle arrives to retrieve Red 's group and the eggs , having had a change of heart after witnessing their efforts . One egg falls out of the net and Red battles King Mudbeard for it , but learns to control his anger and distracts him long enough to retrieve the egg . An explosion from Bomb ignites the pigs ' reserve of dynamite , but the pot collapses and falls over top of Red , shielding him and the egg from the blast as the city is destroyed . Red reunites with the other birds as the egg hatches , revealing three small blue birds . Mighty Eagle approaches Red , Chuck , and Bomb , claiming he merely appeared lazy to help them find faith in themselves , and takes credit for saving the eggs . On Bird Island , Red discovers the other birds have rebuilt his house in the center of the village and the eggs have hatched into chicks , who sing to him in gratitude . Moved , Red allows Chuck and Bomb to move in with him . The pigs are revealed to have survived , with King Mudbeard plotting to steal the birds ' eggs again . In a mid-credits scene , the three blue birds use the slingshot to launch themselves out to ocean .

The success of the Angry Birds Toons series , according to Rovio employee Jami Laes , `` validated '' the idea of creating a feature film . The first image from the film was revealed in October 2014 , with Jason Sudeikis , Josh Gad , Danny McBride , Bill Hader , Maya Rudolph , and Peter Dinklage as part of its cast . Gad at first declined to star in the movie , feeling it was too similar to his role as Olaf in the 2013 film Frozen but the director eventually convinced him to sign through a 30 - minute `` visual pitch '' . The film 's budget is estimated at $80 million ( € 75 million ) . Rovio and Sony Pictures announced they would spend roughly € 100 million for the marketing and distribution of the film , giving it the largest budget in the film industry in Finland , outvaluing Big Game 's € 8.5 million . Despite the massive budget , Rovio CEO Mikael Hed stated that `` it is the one that I do n't ever lose any sleep over '' , calling it `` tremendously strong as a story '' . During August 2015 , Rovio announced that they were expecting to cut 250 jobs equaling 40 % of the company , the only sector spared being personnel working on the movie . When multiple major studios approached Rovio to discuss the production of the film adaptation in 2010 , Hed eventually decided to have Rovio establish its own in - house animation studio and have it work on the film , rather than risk losing creative control in allowing a third - party studio to produce it . David Maisel , the founding chairman of Marvel Studios , offered to help Hed and Rovio produce the film , as well as John Cohen from Illumination Entertainment and Catherine Winder from Lucasfilm , who later served as the film 's producers . Animation services were handled by Sony Pictures Imageworks . The Angry Birds characters were not depicted in their cinematic designs until the film 's announcements so as to avoid spoiling it for audiences .

On Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 43 % based on 150 reviews and an average rating of 4.9 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` The Angry Birds Movie is substantially more entertaining than any film adapted from an app has any right to be -- which may or may not be much of an endorsement .

Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` B + '' on an A+ to F scale . Lindsey Bahr of The Associated Press gave the film a positive review by writing , `` Ultimately , The Angry Birds Movie does a decent job exploring the merits of anger . It 's no Inside Out , but it has heart and life , which is n't too shabby for any film -- app or not '' . Variety 's Guy Lodge called the film : `` A fast , fizzy and frenetically entertaining extension of the manic gaming franchise that , at its zenith , had children of all ages glued to their smartphone screens '' . While Rafer Guzman of Newsday found the film 's plot to be `` pretty thin gruel '' , he thought the script was quite funny and that the animation was brightly colored and appealing . Glenn Kenny of The New York Times gave the film a negative review , writing , `` The kids of today deserve better . So do I , come to think of it '' . In his review for TheWrap , Alonso Duralde wrote , `` Let 's be clear , then : The Angry Birds Movie is n't pointless because it 's based on an app . It 's pointless because it 's pointless '' . Stephen Whitty of the New York Daily News gave the film one out of five stars , writing , `` The Angry Birds Movie is just fowl '' .

Charles Dickens - wikipedia Charles Dickens Jump to : navigation , search `` Dickens '' and `` Dickensian '' redirect here . For the television series , see Dickensian ( TV series ) . For other uses , see Dickens ( disambiguation ) . Charles Dickens Dickens in New York , circa 1867 -- 1868 Charles John Huffam Dickens ( 1812 - 02 - 07 ) 7 February 1812 Landport , Hampshire , England 9 June 1870 ( 1870 - 06 - 09 ) ( aged 58 ) Higham , Kent , England Resting place Poets ' Corner , Westminster Abbey Occupation Writer Nationality British Notable works The Pickwick Papers Oliver Twist Nicholas Nickleby A Christmas Carol David Copperfield Bleak House Little Dorrit A Tale of Two Cities Great Expectations Spouse Catherine Thomson Hogarth Children Charles Dickens Jr . Mary Dickens Kate Perugini Walter Landor Dickens Francis Dickens Alfred D'Orsay Tennyson Dickens Sydney Smith Haldimand Dickens Henry Fielding Dickens Dora Annie Dickens Edward Dickens Signature Charles John Huffam Dickens ( / ˈdɪkɪnz / ; 7 February 1812 -- 9 June 1870 ) was an English writer and social critic . He created some of the world 's best - known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era . His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime , and by the 20th century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius . His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity . Born in Portsmouth , Dickens left school to work in a factory when his father was incarcerated in a debtors ' prison . Despite his lack of formal education , he edited a weekly journal for 20 years , wrote 15 novels , five novellas , hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles , lectured and performed readings extensively , was an indefatigable letter writer , and campaigned vigorously for children 's rights , education , and other social reforms . Dickens 's literary success began with the 1836 serial publication of The Pickwick Papers . Within a few years he had become an international literary celebrity , famous for his humour , satire , and keen observation of character and society . His novels , most published in monthly or weekly instalments , pioneered the serial publication of narrative fiction , which became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication . Cliffhanger endings in his serial publications kept readers in suspense . The instalment format allowed Dickens to evaluate his audience 's reaction , and he often modified his plot and character development based on such feedback . For example , when his wife 's chiropodist expressed distress at the way Miss Mowcher in David Copperfield seemed to reflect her disabilities , Dickens improved the character with positive features . His plots were carefully constructed , and he often wove elements from topical events into his narratives . Masses of the illiterate poor chipped in ha'pennies to have each new monthly episode read to them , opening up and inspiring a new class of readers . Dickens was regarded as the literary colossus of his age . His 1843 novella , A Christmas Carol , remains popular and continues to inspire adaptations in every artistic genre . Oliver Twist and Great Expectations are also frequently adapted , and , like many of his novels , evoke images of early Victorian London . His 1859 novel , A Tale of Two Cities , set in London and Paris , is his best - known work of historical fiction . Dickens has been praised by fellow writers -- from Leo Tolstoy to George Orwell and G.K. Chesterton -- for his realism , comedy , prose style , unique characterisations , and social criticism . On the other hand , Oscar Wilde , Henry James , and Virginia Woolf complained of a lack of psychological depth , loose writing , and a vein of saccharine sentimentalism . The term Dickensian is used to describe something that is reminiscent of Dickens and his writings , such as poor social conditions or comically repulsive characters .

His father was a clerk in the Navy Pay Office and was temporarily stationed in the district . He asked Christopher Huffam , rigger to His Majesty 's Navy , gentleman , and head of an established firm , to act as godfather to Charles . Huffam is thought to be the inspiration for Paul Dombey , the owner of a shipping company in Dickens 's novel Dombey and Son ( 1848 ) . In January 1815 , John Dickens was called back to London , and the family moved to Norfolk Street , Fitzrovia . When Charles was four , they relocated to Sheerness , and thence to Chatham , Kent , where he spent his formative years until the age of 11 . His early life seems to have been idyllic , though he thought himself a `` very small and not - over-particularly - taken - care - of boy '' . Charles spent time outdoors , but also read voraciously , including the picaresque novels of Tobias Smollett and Henry Fielding , as well as Robinson Crusoe and Gil Blas . He read and reread The Arabian Nights and the Collected Farces of Elizabeth Inchbald . He retained poignant memories of childhood , helped by an excellent memory of people and events , which he used in his writing . His father 's brief work as a clerk in the Navy Pay Office afforded him a few years of private education , first at a dame school , and then at a school run by William Giles , a dissenter , in Chatham . Illustration by Fred Bernard of Dickens at work in a shoe - blacking factory after his father had been sent to the Marshalsea , published in the 1892 edition of Forster 's Life of Dickens This period came to an end in June 1822 , when John Dickens was recalled to Navy Pay Office headquarters at Somerset House , and the family ( except for Charles , who stayed behind to finish his final term of work ) moved to Camden Town in London . The family had left Kent amidst rapidly mounting debts , and , living beyond his means , John Dickens was forced by his creditors into the Marshalsea debtors ' prison in Southwark , London in 1824 . His wife and youngest children joined him there , as was the practice at the time . Charles , then 12 years old , boarded with Elizabeth Roylance , a family friend , at 112 College Place , Camden Town . Roylance was `` a reduced ( impoverished ) old lady , long known to our family '' , whom Dickens later immortalised , `` with a few alterations and embellishments '' , as `` Mrs. Pipchin '' in Dombey and Son . Later , he lived in a back - attic in the house of an agent for the Insolvent Court , Archibald Russell , `` a fat , good - natured , kind old gentleman ... with a quiet old wife '' and lame son , in Lant Street in Southwark . They provided the inspiration for the Garlands in The Old Curiosity Shop . On Sundays -- with his sister Frances , free from her studies at the Royal Academy of Music -- he spent the day at the Marshalsea . Dickens later used the prison as a setting in Little Dorrit . To pay for his board and to help his family , Dickens was forced to leave school and work ten - hour days at Warren 's Blacking Warehouse , on Hungerford Stairs , near the present Charing Cross railway station , where he earned six shillings a week pasting labels on pots of boot blacking . The strenuous and often harsh working conditions made a lasting impression on Dickens and later influenced his fiction and essays , becoming the foundation of his interest in the reform of socio - economic and labour conditions , the rigours of which he believed were unfairly borne by the poor . He later wrote that he wondered `` how I could have been so easily cast away at such an age '' . As he recalled to John Forster ( from The Life of Charles Dickens ) : The blacking - warehouse was the last house on the left - hand side of the way , at old Hungerford Stairs . It was a crazy , tumble - down old house , abutting of course on the river , and literally overrun with rats . Its wainscoted rooms , and its rotten floors and staircase , and the old grey rats swarming down in the cellars , and the sound of their squeaking and scuffling coming up the stairs at all times , and the dirt and decay of the place , rise up visibly before me , as if I were there again . The counting - house was on the first floor , looking over the coal - barges and the river . There was a recess in it , in which I was to sit and work . My work was to cover the pots of paste - blacking ; first with a piece of oil - paper , and then with a piece of blue paper ; to tie them round with a string ; and then to clip the paper close and neat , all round , until it looked as smart as a pot of ointment from an apothecary 's shop . When a certain number of grosses of pots had attained this pitch of perfection , I was to paste on each a printed label , and then go on again with more pots . Two or three other boys were kept at similar duty down - stairs on similar wages . One of them came up , in a ragged apron and a paper cap , on the first Monday morning , to show me the trick of using the string and tying the knot . His name was Bob Fagin ; and I took the liberty of using his name , long afterwards , in Oliver Twist . When the warehouse was moved to Chandos Street in the smart , busy district of Covent Garden the boys worked in a room in which the window gave onto the street and little audiences gathered and watched them at work -- in Dickens biographer Simon Callow 's estimation , the public display was `` a new refinement added to his misery '' . The Marshalsea around 1897 , after it had closed A few months after his imprisonment , John Dickens 's paternal grandmother , Elizabeth Dickens , died and bequeathed him £ 450 . On the expectation of this legacy , Dickens was released from prison . Under the Insolvent Debtors Act , Dickens arranged for payment of his creditors , and he and his family left Marshalsea , for the home of Mrs Roylance . Charles 's mother , Elizabeth Dickens , did not immediately support his removal from the boot - blacking warehouse . This influenced Dickens 's view that a father should rule the family , and a mother find her proper sphere inside the home : `` I never afterwards forgot , I never shall forget , I never can forget , that my mother was warm for my being sent back '' . His mother 's failure to request his return was a factor in his dissatisfied attitude towards women . Righteous indignation stemming from his own situation and the conditions under which working - class people lived became major themes of his works , and it was this unhappy period in his youth to which he alluded in his favourite , and most autobiographical , novel , David Copperfield : `` I had no advice , no counsel , no encouragement , no consolation , no assistance , no support , of any kind , from anyone , that I can call to mind , as I hope to go to heaven ! '' Dickens was eventually sent to the Wellington House Academy in Camden Town , where he remained until March 1827 , having spent about two years there . He did not consider it to be a good school : `` Much of the haphazard , desultory teaching , poor discipline punctuated by the headmaster 's sadistic brutality , the seedy ushers and general run - down atmosphere , are embodied in Mr. Creakle 's Establishment in David Copperfield . '' Dickens worked at the law office of Ellis and Blackmore , attorneys , of Holborn Court , Gray 's Inn , as a junior clerk from May 1827 to November 1828 . He was a gifted mimic and impersonated those around him : clients , lawyers , and clerks . He went to theatres obsessively -- he claimed that for at least three years he went to the theatre every single day . His favourite actor was Charles Mathews , and Dickens learnt his monopolylogues , ( farces in which Mathews played every character ) , by heart . Then , having learned Gurney 's system of shorthand in his spare time , he left to become a freelance reporter . A distant relative , Thomas Charlton , was a freelance reporter at Doctors ' Commons , and Dickens was able to share his box there to report the legal proceedings for nearly four years . This education was to inform works such as Nicholas Nickleby , Dombey and Son , and especially Bleak House -- whose vivid portrayal of the machinations and bureaucracy of the legal system did much to enlighten the general public and served as a vehicle for dissemination of Dickens 's own views regarding , particularly , the heavy burden on the poor who were forced by circumstances to `` go to law '' . In 1830 , Dickens met his first love , Maria Beadnell , thought to have been the model for the character Dora in David Copperfield . Maria 's parents disapproved of the courtship and ended the relationship by sending her to school in Paris . Journalism and early novels In 1832 , at age 20 , Dickens was energetic and increasingly self - confident . He enjoyed mimicry and popular entertainment , lacked a clear , specific sense of what he wanted to become , and yet knew he wanted fame . Drawn to the theatre -- he became an early member of the Garrick -- he landed an acting audition at Covent Garden , where the manager George Bartley and the actor Charles Kemble were to see him . Dickens prepared meticulously and decided to imitate the comedian Charles Mathews , but ultimately he missed the audition because of a cold . Before another opportunity arose , he had set out on his career as a writer . In 1833 he submitted his first story , `` A Dinner at Poplar Walk '' , to the London periodical Monthly Magazine . William Barrow , a brother of his mother , offered him a job on The Mirror of Parliament and he worked in the House of Commons for the first time early in 1832 . He rented rooms at Furnival 's Inn and worked as a political journalist , reporting on Parliamentary debates , and he travelled across Britain to cover election campaigns for the Morning Chronicle . His journalism , in the form of sketches in periodicals , formed his first collection of pieces , published in 1836 : Sketches by Boz -- Boz being a family nickname he employed as a pseudonym for some years . Dickens apparently adopted it from the nickname `` Moses '' , which he had given to his youngest brother Augustus Dickens , after a character in Oliver Goldsmith 's The Vicar of Wakefield . When pronounced by anyone with a head cold , `` Moses '' became `` Boses '' -- later shortened to Boz . Dickens 's own name was considered `` queer '' by a contemporary critic , who wrote in 1849 : `` Mr Dickens , as if in revenge for his own queer name , does bestow still queerer ones upon his fictitious creations . '' He contributed to and edited journals throughout his literary career . In January 1835 the Morning Chronicle launched an evening edition , under the editorship of the Chronicle 's music critic , George Hogarth . Hogarth invited Dickens to contribute Street Sketches and Dickens became a regular visitor to his Fulham house , excited by Hogarth 's friendship with a hero of his , Walter Scott , and enjoying the company of Hogarth 's three daughters -- Georgina , Mary , and nineteen - year - old Catherine . Catherine Hogarth Dickens by Samuel Lawrence ( 1838 ) Dickens made rapid progress both professionally and socially . He began a friendship with William Harrison Ainsworth , the author of the highwayman novel Rookwood ( 1834 ) , whose bachelor salon in Harrow Road had become the meeting place for a set that included Daniel Maclise , Benjamin Disraeli , Edward Bulwer - Lytton , and George Cruikshank . All these became his friends and collaborators , with the exception of Disraeli , and he met his first publisher , John Macrone , at the house . The success of Sketches by Boz led to a proposal from publishers Chapman and Hall for Dickens to supply text to match Robert Seymour 's engraved illustrations in a monthly letterpress . Seymour committed suicide after the second instalment , and Dickens , who wanted to write a connected series of sketches , hired `` Phiz '' to provide the engravings ( which were reduced from four to two per instalment ) for the story . The resulting story became The Pickwick Papers , and though the first few episodes were not successful , the introduction of the Cockney character Sam Weller in the fourth episode ( the first to be illustrated by Phiz ) marked a sharp climb in its popularity . The final instalment sold 40,000 copies . In November 1836 Dickens accepted the position of editor of Bentley 's Miscellany , a position he held for three years , until he fell out with the owner . In 1836 as he finished the last instalments of The Pickwick Papers , he began writing the beginning instalments of Oliver Twist -- writing as many as 90 pages a month -- while continuing work on Bentley 's and also writing four plays , the production of which he oversaw . Oliver Twist , published in 1838 , became one of Dickens 's better known stories , and was the first Victorian novel with a child protagonist . Young Charles Dickens by Daniel Maclise , 1839 On 2 April 1836 , after a one - year engagement , and between episodes two and three of The Pickwick Papers , Dickens married Catherine Thomson Hogarth ( 1816 -- 1879 ) , the daughter of George Hogarth , editor of the Evening Chronicle . They were married in St. Luke 's Church , Chelsea , London . After a brief honeymoon in Chalk in Kent the couple returned to lodgings at Furnival 's Inn . The first of their ten children , Charley , was born in January 1837 , and a few months later the family set up home in Bloomsbury at 48 Doughty Street , London , ( on which Charles had a three - year lease at £ 80 a year ) from 25 March 1837 until December 1839 . Dickens 's younger brother Frederick and Catherine 's 17 - year - old sister Mary , moved in with them . Dickens became very attached to Mary , and she died in his arms after a brief illness in 1837 . Unusually for Dickens , as a consequence of his shock , he stopped working , and he and Kate stayed at a little farm on Hampstead Heath for a fortnight . Dickens idealised Mary - the character he fashioned after her , Rose Maylie , he found he could not now kill , as he had planned , in his fiction and according to Ackroyd he drew on memories of her for his later descriptions of Little Nell and Florence Dombey . His grief was so great that he was unable to meet the deadline for the June instalment of Pickwick Papers and had to cancel the Oliver Twist instalment that month as well . The time in Hampstead was the occasion for a growing bond between Dickens and John Forster to develop and Forster soon became his unofficial business manager , and the first to read his work . Barnaby Rudge was Dickens 's first popular failure -- but the character of Dolly Varden , `` pretty , witty , sexy , became central to numerous theatrical adaptations '' His success as a novelist continued . The young Queen Victoria read both Oliver Twist and Pickwick , staying up until midnight to discuss them . Nicholas Nickleby ( 1838 -- 39 ) , The Old Curiosity Shop ( 1840 -- 41 ) and , finally , his first historical novel , Barnaby Rudge : A Tale of the Riots of ' Eighty , as part of the Master Humphrey 's Clock series ( 1840 -- 41 ) , were all published in monthly instalments before being made into books . In the midst of all his activity during this period there was discontent with his publishers and John Macrone was bought off , while Richard Bentley signed over all his rights in Oliver Twist . Other signs of a certain restlessness and discontent emerge -- in Broadstairs he flirted with Eleanor Picken , the young fiancée of his solicitor 's best friend , and one night grabbed her and ran with her down to the sea . He declared they were both to drown there in the `` sad sea waves '' . She finally got free but afterwards kept her distance . In June 1841 he precipitately set out on a two - month tour of Scotland and then , in September 1841 , telegraphed Forster that he had decided to go to America . Master Humphrey 's Clock was shut down , though Dickens was still keen on the idea of the weekly magazine , a form he liked , a liking that had begun with his childhood reading of the eighteenth - century magazines Tatler and The Spectator . First visit to the United States In 1842 , Dickens and his wife made their first trip to the United States and Canada . At this time Georgina Hogarth , another sister of Catherine , joined the Dickens household , now living at Devonshire Terrace , Marylebone , to care for the young family they had left behind . She remained with them as housekeeper , organiser , adviser , and friend until Dickens 's death in 1870 . Dickens modeled the character of Agnes Wickfield after Georgina and Mary . Sketch of Dickens in 1842 during his first American tour . Sketch of Dickens 's sister Fanny , bottom left He described his impressions in a travelogue , American Notes for General Circulation . Dickens includes in Notes a powerful condemnation of slavery , which he had attacked as early as The Pickwick Papers , correlating the emancipation of the poor in England with the abolition of slavery abroad citing newspaper accounts of runaway slaves disfigured by their masters . In spite of the abolitionist sentiments gleaned from his trip to America , some modern commentators have pointed out inconsistencies in Dickens 's views on racial inequality , for instance , he has been criticized for his subsequent acquiescence in Governor Eyre 's harsh crackdown during the 1860s Morant Bay rebellion in Jamaica and his failure to join other British progressives in condemning it . From Richmond , Virginia , Dickens returned to Washington , D.C. , and started a trek westward to St. Louis , Missouri . While there , he expressed a desire to see an American prairie before returning east . A group of 13 men then set out with Dickens to visit Looking Glass Prairie , a trip 30 miles into Illinois . During his American visit , Dickens spent a month in New York City , giving lectures , raising the question of international copyright laws and the pirating of his work in America . He persuaded a group of twenty - five writers , headed by Washington Irving , to sign a petition for him to take to Congress , but the press were generally hostile to this , saying that he should be grateful for his popularity and that it was mercenary to complain about his work being pirated . The popularity he gained caused a shift in his self - perception according to critic Kate Flint , who writes that he `` found himself a cultural commodity , and its circulation had passed out his control '' , causing him to become interested in and delve into themes of public and personal personas in the next novels . She writes that he assumed a role of `` influential commentator '' , publicly and in his fiction , evident in his next few books . His trip to the U.S. ended with a trip to Canada : Niagara Falls , Toronto , Kingston and Montreal where he appeared on stage in light comedies . Soon after his return to England , Dickens began work on the first of his Christmas stories , A Christmas Carol , written in 1843 , which was followed by The Chimes in 1844 and The Cricket on the Hearth in 1845 . Of these , A Christmas Carol was most popular and , tapping into an old tradition , did much to promote a renewed enthusiasm for the joys of Christmas in Britain and America . The seeds for the story became planted in Dickens 's mind during a trip to Manchester to witness the conditions of the manufacturing workers there . This , along with scenes he had recently witnessed at the Field Lane Ragged School , caused Dickens to resolve to `` strike a sledge hammer blow '' for the poor . As the idea for the story took shape and the writing began in earnest , Dickens became engrossed in the book . He later wrote that as the tale unfolded he `` wept and laughed , and wept again '' as he `` walked about the black streets of London fifteen or twenty miles many a night when all sober folks had gone to bed . '' After living briefly in Italy ( 1844 ) , Dickens travelled to Switzerland ( 1846 ) , where he began work on Dombey and Son ( 1846 -- 48 ) . This and David Copperfield ( 1849 -- 50 ) mark a significant artistic break in Dickens 's career as his novels became more serious in theme and more carefully planned than his early works . At about this time , he was made aware of a large embezzlement at the firm where his brother , Augustus , worked ( John Chapman & Co . ) . It had been carried out by Thomas Powell , a clerk , who was on friendly terms with Dickens and who had acted as mentor to Augustus when he started work . Powell was also an author and poet and knew many of the famous writers of the day . After further fraudulent activities , Powell fled to New York and published a book called The Living Authors of England with a chapter on Charles Dickens , who was not amused by what Powell had written . One item that seemed to have annoyed him was the assertion that he had based the character of Paul Dombey ( Dombey and Son ) on Thomas Chapman , one of the principal partners at John Chapman & Co . Dickens immediately sent a letter to Lewis Gaylord Clark , editor of the New York literary magazine The Knickerbocker , saying that Powell was a forger and thief . Clark published the letter in the New - York Tribune , and several other papers picked up on the story . Powell began proceedings to sue these publications , and Clark was arrested . Dickens , realising that he had acted in haste , contacted John Chapman & Co. to seek written confirmation of Powell 's guilt . Dickens did receive a reply confirming Powell 's embezzlement , but once the directors realised this information might have to be produced in court , they refused to make further disclosures . Owing to the difficulties of providing evidence in America to support his accusations , Dickens eventually made a private settlement with Powell out of court . Philanthropy Angela Burdett Coutts , heir to the Coutts banking fortune , approached Dickens in May 1846 about setting up a home for the redemption of fallen women of the working class . Coutts envisioned a home that would replace the punitive regimes of existing institutions with a reformative environment conducive to education and proficiency in domestic household chores . After initially resisting , Dickens eventually founded the home , named `` Urania Cottage '' , in the Lime Grove section of Shepherds Bush , which he managed for ten years , setting the house rules , reviewing the accounts and interviewing prospective residents . Emigration and marriage were central to Dickens 's agenda for the women on leaving Urania Cottage , from which it is estimated that about 100 women graduated between 1847 and 1859 . Religious views As a young man Dickens expressed a distaste for certain aspects of organized religion . In 1836 , in a pamphlet titled Sunday Under Three Heads , he defended the people 's right to pleasure , opposing a plan to prohibit games on Sundays . `` Look into your churches - diminished congregations and scanty attendance . People have grown sullen and obstinate , and are becoming disgusted with the faith which condemns them to such a day as this , once in every seven . They display their feeling by staying away ( from church ) . Turn into the streets ( on a Sunday ) and mark the rigid gloom that reigns over everything around '' Dickens honoured the figure of Christ -- though some claim he may have denied his divinity . Notwithstanding , Dickens has been characterized as a professing Christian . His son , Henry Fielding Dickens , described Dickens as someone who `` possessed deep religious convictions '' . In the early 1840s Dickens had shown an interest in Unitarian Christianity , and Robert Browning remarked that `` Mr. Dickens is an enlightened Unitarian . '' Writer Gary Colledge , however , asserted that he `` never strayed from his attachment to popular lay Anglicanism '' . He also wrote a religious work called The Life of Our Lord ( 1849 ) , which was a short book about the life of Jesus Christ , written with the purpose of inculcating his faith to his children and family . Dickens disapproved of Roman Catholicism and 19th - century evangelicalism , and was critical of what he saw as the hypocrisy of religious institutions and philosophies like spiritualism , all of which he considered deviations from the true spirit of Christianity . Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoyevsky referred to Dickens as `` that great Christian writer '' . Middle years `` Little Dorrit '' 1856 The Francophile Dickens often vacationed in France , and in a speech delivered in Paris in 1846 in French called the French `` the first people in the universe '' . During his visit to Paris , Dickens met the French literati Alexandre Dumas , Victor Hugo , Eugène Scribe , Théophile Gautier , François - René de Chateaubriand and Eugène Sue . Dickens started to write David Copperfield in 1848 . It was published between 1849 and 1850 . Scholars consider it as Dickens 's veiled autobiography with the title character modeled after the author himself . It was Dickens 's personal favourite among his own novels . In late November 1851 , Dickens moved into Tavistock House where he wrote Bleak House ( 1852 -- 53 ) , Hard Times ( 1854 ) , and Little Dorrit ( 1856 ) . It was here that he indulged in the amateur theatricals described in Forster 's Life . During this period he worked closely with the novelist and playwright Wilkie Collins . In 1856 , his income from writing allowed him to buy Gad 's Hill Place in Higham , Kent . As a child , Dickens had walked past the house and dreamed of living in it . The area was also the scene of some of the events of Shakespeare 's Henry IV , Part 1 , and this literary connection pleased him . Ellen Ternan , 1858 In 1857 , Dickens hired professional actresses for the play The Frozen Deep , written by him and his protégé , Wilkie Collins . Dickens fell in love with one of the actresses , Ellen Ternan , and this passion was to last the rest of his life . Dickens was 45 and Ternan 18 when he made the decision , which went strongly against Victorian convention , to separate from his wife , Catherine , in 1858 -- divorce was still unthinkable for someone as famous as he was . When Catherine left , never to see her husband again , she took with her one child , leaving the other children to be raised by her sister Georgina who chose to stay at Gad 's Hill . During this period , whilst pondering a project to give public readings for his own profit , Dickens was approached through a charitable appeal by Great Ormond Street Hospital , to help it survive its first major financial crisis . His ' Drooping Buds ' essay in Household Words earlier on 3 April 1852 was considered by the hospital 's founders to have been the catalyst for the hospital 's success . Dickens , whose philanthropy was well - known , was asked by his friend , the hospital 's founder Charles West , to preside over the appeal , and he threw himself into the task , heart and soul . Dickens 's public readings secured sufficient funds for an endowment to put the hospital on a sound financial footing -- one reading on 9 February 1858 alone raised £ 3,000 . After separating from Catherine , Dickens undertook a series of hugely popular and remunerative reading tours which , together with his journalism , were to absorb most of his creative energies for the next decade , in which he was to write only two more novels . His first reading tour , lasting from April 1858 to February 1859 , consisted of 129 appearances in 49 different towns throughout England , Scotland and Ireland . Dickens 's continued fascination with the theatrical world was written into the theatre scenes in Nicholas Nickleby , but more importantly he found an outlet in public readings . In 1866 , he undertook a series of public readings in England and Scotland , with more the following year in England and Ireland . Dickens at his desk , 1858 Major works soon followed , including A Tale of Two Cities ( 1859 ) and Great Expectations ( 1861 ) , which were resounding successes . During this time he was also the publisher , editor , and a major contributor to the journals Household Words ( 1850 -- 1859 ) and All the Year Round ( 1858 -- 1870 ) . In early September 1860 , in a field behind Gad 's Hill , Dickens made a bonfire of most of his correspondence -- only those letters on business matters were spared . Since Ellen Ternan also destroyed all of his letters to her , the extent of the affair between the two remains speculative . In the 1930s , Thomas Wright recounted that Ternan had unburdened herself to a Canon Benham , and gave currency to rumours they had been lovers . That the two had a son who died in infancy was alleged by Dickens 's daughter , Kate Perugini , whom Gladys Storey had interviewed before her death in 1929 . Storey published her account in Dickens and Daughter , but no contemporary evidence exists . On his death , Dickens settled an annuity on Ternan which made her a financially independent woman . Claire Tomalin 's book , The Invisible Woman , argues that Ternan lived with Dickens secretly for the last 13 years of his life . The book was subsequently turned into a play , Little Nell , by Simon Gray , and a 2013 film . In the same period , Dickens furthered his interest in the paranormal , becoming one of the early members of The Ghost Club . In June 1862 , he was offered £ 10,000 for a reading tour of Australia . He was enthusiastic , and even planned a travel book , The Uncommercial Traveller Upside Down , but ultimately decided against the tour . Two of his sons , Alfred D'Orsay Tennyson Dickens and Edward Bulwer Lytton Dickens , migrated to Australia , Edward becoming a member of the Parliament of New South Wales as Member for Wilcannia between 1889 and 1894 . Last years After the Staplehurst rail crash On 9 June 1865 , while returning from Paris with Ellen Ternan , Dickens was involved in the Staplehurst rail crash . The train 's first seven carriages plunged off a cast iron bridge that was under repair . The only first - class carriage to remain on the track was the one in which Dickens was travelling . Before rescuers arrived , Dickens tended and comforted the wounded and the dying with a flask of brandy and a hat refreshed with water , and saved some lives . Before leaving , he remembered the unfinished manuscript for Our Mutual Friend , and he returned to his carriage to retrieve it . Dickens later used this experience as material for his short ghost story , `` The Signal - Man '' , in which the central character has a premonition of his own death in a rail crash . He also based the story on several previous rail accidents , such as the Clayton Tunnel rail crash of 1861 . Dickens managed to avoid an appearance at the inquest to avoid disclosing that he had been travelling with Ternan and her mother , which would have caused a scandal . Second visit to the United States Crowd of spectators buying tickets for a Dickens reading at Steinway Hall , New York City in 1867 Contemplating a second visit to the United States , the outbreak of the Civil War in America in 1861 delayed his plans . On 9 November 1867 , over two years after the war , Dickens set sail from Liverpool for his second American reading tour . Landing at Boston , he devoted the rest of the month to a round of dinners with such notables as Ralph Waldo Emerson , Henry Wadsworth Longfellow , and his American publisher , James Thomas Fields . In early December , the readings began . He performed 76 readings , netting £ 19,000 , from December 1867 to April 1868 . Dickens shuttled between Boston and New York , where he gave 22 readings at Steinway Hall . Although he had started to suffer from what he called the `` true American catarrh '' , he kept to a schedule that would have challenged a much younger man , even managing to squeeze in some sleighing in Central Park . Poster promoting a reading by Dickens in Nottingham dated 4 February 1869 , two months before he suffered a mild stroke During his travels , he saw a change in the people and the circumstances of America . His final appearance was at a banquet the American Press held in his honour at Delmonico 's on 18 April , when he promised never to denounce America again . By the end of the tour Dickens could hardly manage solid food , subsisting on champagne and eggs beaten in sherry . On 23 April he boarded the Cunard liner Russia to return to Britain , barely escaping a Federal Tax Lien against the proceeds of his lecture tour . Farewell readings Between 1868 and 1869 , Dickens gave a series of `` farewell readings '' in England , Scotland , and Ireland , beginning on 6 October . He managed , of a contracted 100 readings , to deliver 75 in the provinces , with a further 12 in London . As he pressed on he was affected by giddiness and fits of paralysis . He suffered a stroke on 18 April 1869 in Chester . He collapsed on 22 April 1869 , at Preston in Lancashire , and on doctor 's advice , the tour was cancelled . After further provincial readings were cancelled , he began work on his final novel , The Mystery of Edwin Drood . It was fashionable in the 1860s to ' do the slums ' and , in company , Dickens visited opium dens in Shadwell , where he witnessed an elderly addict known as `` Laskar Sal '' , who formed the model for the `` Opium Sal '' subsequently featured in his mystery novel , Edwin Drood . After Dickens had regained sufficient strength , he arranged , with medical approval , for a final series of readings to partially make up to his sponsors what they had lost due to his illness . There were to be 12 performances , running between 11 January and 15 March 1870 , the last at 8 : 00 pm at St. James 's Hall in London . Although in grave health by this time , he read A Christmas Carol and The Trial from Pickwick . On 2 May , he made his last public appearance at a Royal Academy Banquet in the presence of the Prince and Princess of Wales , paying a special tribute on the death of his friend , the illustrator Daniel Maclise . Death Samuel Luke Fildes -- The Empty Chair . Fildes was illustrating `` Edwin Drood '' at the time of Charles Dickens 's death . The engraving shows Dickens 's empty chair in his study at Gads Hill Place . It appeared in the Christmas 1870 edition of The Graphic and thousands of prints of it were sold . Death certificate of Charles Dickens . On 8 June 1870 , Dickens suffered another stroke at his home after a full day 's work on Edwin Drood . He never regained consciousness , and the next day , five years to the day after the Staplehurst rail crash , he died at Gads Hill Place . Biographer Claire Tomalin has suggested Dickens was actually in Peckham when he suffered the stroke , and his mistress Ellen Ternan and her maids had him taken back to Gad 's Hill so the public would not know the truth about their relationship . Contrary to his wish to be buried at Rochester Cathedral `` in an inexpensive , unostentatious , and strictly private manner '' , he was laid to rest in the Poets ' Corner of Westminster Abbey . A printed epitaph circulated at the time of the funeral reads : To the Memory of Charles Dickens ( England 's most popular author ) who died at his residence , Higham , near Rochester , Kent , 9 June 1870 , aged 58 years . He was a sympathiser with the poor , the suffering , and the oppressed ; and by his death , one of England 's greatest writers is lost to the world . His last words were : `` On the ground '' , in response to his sister - in - law Georgina 's request that he lie down . On Sunday , 19 June 1870 , five days after Dickens was buried in the Abbey , Dean Arthur Penrhyn Stanley delivered a memorial elegy , lauding `` the genial and loving humorist whom we now mourn '' , for showing by his own example `` that even in dealing with the darkest scenes and the most degraded characters , genius could still be clean , and mirth could be innocent '' . Pointing to the fresh flowers that adorned the novelist 's grave , Stanley assured those present that `` the spot would thenceforth be a sacred one with both the New World and the Old , as that of the representative of literature , not of this island only , but of all who speak our English tongue . '' In his will , drafted more than a year before his death , Dickens left the care of his £ 80,000 estate to his longtime colleague John Forster and his `` best and truest friend '' Georgina Hogarth who , along with Dickens 's two sons , also received a tax - free sum of £ 8,000 ( about £ 800,000 in present terms ) . Although Dickens and his wife had been separated for several years at the time of his death , he provided her with an annual income of £ 600 and made her similar allowances in his will . He also bequeathed £ 19 19s to each servant in his employment at the time of his death . Literary style Dickens favoured the style of the 18th century picaresque novels that he found in abundance on his father 's shelves . According to Ackroyd , other than these , perhaps the most important literary influence on him was derived from the fables of The Arabian Nights . Dickens 's Dream by Robert William Buss , portraying Dickens at his desk at Gads Hill Place surrounded by many of his characters His writing style is marked by a profuse linguistic creativity . Satire , flourishing in his gift for caricature , is his forte . An early reviewer compared him to Hogarth for his keen practical sense of the ludicrous side of life , though his acclaimed mastery of varieties of class idiom may in fact mirror the conventions of contemporary popular theatre . Dickens worked intensively on developing arresting names for his characters that would reverberate with associations for his readers , and assist the development of motifs in the storyline , giving what one critic calls an `` allegorical impetus '' to the novels ' meanings . To cite one of numerous examples , the name Mr. Murdstone in David Copperfield conjures up twin allusions to `` murder '' and stony coldness . His literary style is also a mixture of fantasy and realism . His satires of British aristocratic snobbery -- he calls one character the `` Noble Refrigerator '' -- are often popular . Comparing orphans to stocks and shares , people to tug boats , or dinner - party guests to furniture are just some of Dickens 's acclaimed flights of fancy . The author worked closely with his illustrators , supplying them with a summary of the work at the outset and thus ensuring that his characters and settings were exactly how he envisioned them . He briefed the illustrator on plans for each month 's instalment so that work could begin before he wrote them . Marcus Stone , illustrator of Our Mutual Friend , recalled that the author was always `` ready to describe down to the minutest details the personal characteristics , and ... life - history of the creations of his fancy '' . Characters Dickens ' characters Dickens 's biographer Claire Tomalin regards him as the greatest creator of character in English fiction after Shakespeare . Dickensian characters are amongst the most memorable in English literature , especially so because of their typically whimsical names . The likes of Ebenezer Scrooge , Tiny Tim , Jacob Marley , Bob Cratchit , Oliver Twist , The Artful Dodger , Fagin , Bill Sikes , Pip , Miss Havisham , Sydney Carton , Charles Darnay , David Copperfield , Mr. Micawber , Abel Magwitch , Daniel Quilp , Samuel Pickwick , Wackford Squeers , and Uriah Heep are so well known as to be part and parcel of British culture , and in some cases have passed into ordinary language : a scrooge , for example , is a miser - or someone who dislikes Christmas festivity . His characters were often so memorable that they took on a life of their own outside his books . `` Gamp '' became a slang expression for an umbrella from the character Mrs Gamp , and `` Pickwickian '' , `` Pecksniffian '' , and `` Gradgrind '' all entered dictionaries due to Dickens 's original portraits of such characters who were , respectively , quixotic , hypocritical , and vapidly factual . Many were drawn from real life : Mrs Nickleby is based on his mother , though she did n't recognise herself in the portrait , just as Mr Micawber is constructed from aspects of his father 's ' rhetorical exuberance ' : Harold Skimpole in Bleak House is based on James Henry Leigh Hunt : his wife 's dwarfish chiropodist recognised herself in Miss Mowcher in David Copperfield . Perhaps Dickens 's impressions on his meeting with Hans Christian Andersen informed the delineation of Uriah Heep . Virginia Woolf maintained that `` we remodel our psychological geography when we read Dickens '' as he produces `` characters who exist not in detail , not accurately or exactly , but abundantly in a cluster of wild yet extraordinarily revealing remarks '' . One `` character '' vividly drawn throughout his novels is London itself . From the coaching inns on the outskirts of the city to the lower reaches of the Thames , all aspects of the capital are described over the course of his body of work . Autobiographical elements An original illustration by Phiz from the novel David Copperfield , which is widely regarded as Dickens 's most autobiographical work Authors frequently draw their portraits of characters from people they have known in real life . David Copperfield is regarded by many as a veiled autobiography of Dickens . The scenes of interminable court cases and legal arguments in Bleak House reflect Dickens 's experiences as a law clerk and court reporter , and in particular his direct experience of the law 's procedural delay during 1844 when he sued publishers in Chancery for breach of copyright . Dickens 's father was sent to prison for debt , and this became a common theme in many of his books , with the detailed depiction of life in the Marshalsea prison in Little Dorrit resulting from Dickens 's own experiences of the institution . Lucy Stroughill , a childhood sweetheart , may have affected several of Dickens 's portraits of girls such as Little Em'ly in David Copperfield and Lucie Manette in A Tale of Two Cities . Dickens may have drawn on his childhood experiences , but he was also ashamed of them and would not reveal that this was where he gathered his realistic accounts of squalor . Very few knew the details of his early life until six years after his death , when John Forster published a biography on which Dickens had collaborated . Though Skimpole brutally sends up Leigh Hunt , some critics have detected in his portrait features of Dickens 's own character , which he sought to exorcise by self - parody . Episodic writing Most of Dickens 's major novels were first written in monthly or weekly instalments in journals such as Master Humphrey 's Clock and Household Words , later reprinted in book form . These instalments made the stories affordable and accessible , and the series of regular cliff - hangers made each new episode widely anticipated . When The Old Curiosity Shop was being serialised , American fans waited at the docks in New York harbor , shouting out to the crew of an incoming British ship , `` Is little Nell dead ? '' Dickens 's talent was to incorporate this episodic writing style but still end up with a coherent novel at the end . `` Charles Dickens as he appears when reading . '' Wood engraving from Harper 's Weekly , 7 December 1867 Another important impact of Dickens 's episodic writing style resulted from his exposure to the opinions of his readers and friends . His friend Forster had a significant hand in reviewing his drafts , an influence that went beyond matters of punctuation . He toned down melodramatic and sensationalist exaggerations , cut long passages ( such as the episode of Quilp 's drowning in The Old Curiosity Shop ) , and made suggestions about plot and character . It was he who suggested that Charley Bates should be redeemed in Oliver Twist . Dickens had not thought of killing Little Nell , and it was Forster who advised him to entertain this possibility as necessary to his conception of the heroine . Dickens 's serialisation of his novels was not uncriticised by other authors . In Robert Louis Stevenson 's novel The Wrecker , there is a comment by Captain Nares , investigating an abandoned ship : `` See ! They were writing up the log , '' said Nares , pointing to the ink - bottle . `` Caught napping , as usual . I wonder if there ever was a captain yet that lost a ship with his log - book up to date ? He generally has about a month to fill up on a clean break , like Charles Dickens and his serial novels . '' Social commentary Nurse Sarah Gamp ( left ) from Martin Chuzzlewit became a stereotype of untrained and incompetent nurses of the early Victorian era , before the reforms of Florence Nightingale Dickens 's novels were , among other things , works of social commentary . He was a fierce critic of the poverty and social stratification of Victorian society . In a New York address , he expressed his belief that `` Virtue shows quite as well in rags and patches as she does in purple and fine linen '' . Dickens 's second novel , Oliver Twist ( 1839 ) , shocked readers with its images of poverty and crime : it challenged middle class polemics about criminals , making impossible any pretence to ignorance about what poverty entailed . Literary techniques Dickens is often described as using idealised characters and highly sentimental scenes to contrast with his caricatures and the ugly social truths he reveals . The story of Nell Trent in The Old Curiosity Shop ( 1841 ) was received as extraordinarily moving by contemporary readers but viewed as ludicrously sentimental by Oscar Wilde . `` You would need to have a heart of stone '' , he declared in one of his famous witticisms , `` not to laugh at the death of little Nell . '' G.K. Chesterton , stated : `` It is not the death of little Nell , but the life of little Nell , that I object to '' , arguing that the maudlin effect of his description of her life owed much to the gregarious nature of Dickens 's grief , his `` despotic '' use of people 's feelings to move them to tears in works like this . The question as to whether Dickens belongs to the tradition of the sentimental novel is debatable . Valerie Purton , in her recent Dickens and the Sentimental Tradition , sees him continuing aspects of this tradition , and argues that his `` sentimental scenes and characters ( are ) as crucial to the overall power of the novels as his darker or comic figures and scenes '' , and that `` Dombey and Son is ( ... ) Dickens 's greatest triumph in the sentimentalist tradition '' . The Encyclopædia Britannica online comments that , despite `` patches of emotional excess '' , such as the reported death of Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol ( 1843 ) , `` Dickens can not really be termed a sentimental novelist '' . In Oliver Twist Dickens provides readers with an idealised portrait of a boy so inherently and unrealistically good that his values are never subverted by either brutal orphanages or coerced involvement in a gang of young pickpockets . While later novels also centre on idealised characters ( Esther Summerson in Bleak House and Amy Dorrit in Little Dorrit ) , this idealism serves only to highlight Dickens 's goal of poignant social commentary . Dickens 's fiction , reflecting what he believed to be true of his own life , makes frequent use of coincidence , either for comic effect or to emphasise the idea of providence . For example , Oliver Twist turns out to be the lost nephew of the upper - class family that rescues him from the dangers of the pickpocket group . Such coincidences are a staple of 18th - century picaresque novels , such as Henry Fielding 's Tom Jones , which Dickens enjoyed reading as a youth . Reception Dickens portrait ( top left ) , in between Shakespeare and Tennyson , on a stained glass window at the Ottawa Public Library , Ottawa , Canada Dickens was the most popular novelist of his time , and remains one of the best - known and most - read of English authors . His works have never gone out of print , and have been adapted continually for the screen since the invention of cinema , with at least 200 motion pictures and TV adaptations based on Dickens 's works documented . Many of his works were adapted for the stage during his own lifetime , and as early as 1913 , a silent film of The Pickwick Papers was made . He created some of the world 's best - known fictional characters and is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era . Among fellow writers , Dickens has been both lionised and mocked . Leo Tolstoy , G.K. Chesterton , and George Orwell praised his realism , comic voice , prose fluency , and satiric caricature , as well as his passionate advocacy on behalf of children and the poor . French writer Jules Verne called Dickens his favourite writer , writing his novels `` stand alone , dwarfing all others by their amazing power and felicity of expression . '' Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh was inspired by Dickens 's novels in several of his paintings like Vincent 's Chair and in an 1889 letter to his sister stated that reading Dickens , especially A Christmas Carol , was one of the things that was keeping him from committing suicide . Oscar Wilde generally disparaged his depiction of character , while admiring his gift for caricature . His late contemporary William Wordsworth , by then Poet laureate , thought him a `` very talkative , vulgar young person '' , adding he had not read a line of his work ; Dickens in return thought Wordsworth `` a dreadful Old Ass '' . Henry James denied him a premier position , calling him `` the greatest of superficial novelists '' : Dickens failed to endow his characters with psychological depth and the novels , `` loose baggy monsters '' , betrayed a `` cavalier organisation '' . Virginia Woolf had a love - hate relationship with his works , finding his novels `` mesmerizing '' while reproving him for his sentimentalism and a commonplace style . Fyodor Dostoyevsky expressed his admiration for the author , `` We understand Dickens in Russia , I am convinced , almost as well as the English , perhaps even with all the nuances . It may well be that we love him no less than his compatriots do . And yet how original is Dickens , and how very English ! '' . A Christmas Carol is most probably his best - known story , with frequent new adaptations . It is also the most - filmed of Dickens 's stories , with many versions dating from the early years of cinema . According to the historian Ronald Hutton , the current state of the observance of Christmas is largely the result of a mid-Victorian revival of the holiday spearheaded by A Christmas Carol . Dickens catalysed the emerging Christmas as a family - centred festival of generosity , in contrast to the dwindling community - based and church - centred observations , as new middle - class expectations arose . Its archetypal figures ( Scrooge , Tiny Tim , the Christmas ghosts ) entered into Western cultural consciousness . A prominent phrase from the tale , `` Merry Christmas '' , was popularised following the appearance of the story . The term Scrooge became a synonym for miser , and his dismissive exclamation ' Bah ! Humbug ! ' likewise gained currency as an idiom . Novelist William Makepeace Thackeray called the book `` a national benefit , and to every man and woman who reads it a personal kindness '' . Bleak House in Broadstairs , Kent , where Dickens wrote some of his novels At a time when Britain was the major economic and political power of the world , Dickens highlighted the life of the forgotten poor and disadvantaged within society . Through his journalism he campaigned on specific issues -- such as sanitation and the workhouse -- but his fiction probably demonstrated its greatest prowess in changing public opinion in regard to class inequalities . He often depicted the exploitation and oppression of the poor and condemned the public officials and institutions that not only allowed such abuses to exist , but flourished as a result . His most strident indictment of this condition is in Hard Times ( 1854 ) , Dickens 's only novel - length treatment of the industrial working class . In this work , he uses vitriol and satire to illustrate how this marginalised social stratum was termed `` Hands '' by the factory owners ; that is , not really `` people '' but rather only appendages of the machines they operated . His writings inspired others , in particular journalists and political figures , to address such problems of class oppression . For example , the prison scenes in The Pickwick Papers are claimed to have been influential in having the Fleet Prison shut down . Karl Marx asserted that Dickens `` issued to the world more political and social truths than have been uttered by all the professional politicians , publicists and moralists put together '' . George Bernard Shaw even remarked that Great Expectations was more seditious than Marx 's Das Kapital . The exceptional popularity of Dickens 's novels , even those with socially oppositional themes ( Bleak House , 1853 ; Little Dorrit , 1857 ; Our Mutual Friend , 1865 ) , not only underscored his almost preternatural ability to create compelling storylines and unforgettable characters , but also ensured that the Victorian public confronted issues of social justice that had commonly been ignored . It has been argued that his technique of flooding his narratives with an ' unruly superfluity of material ' that , in the gradual dénouement , yields up an unsuspected order , influenced the organisation of Charles Darwin 's On the Origin of Species . Influence and legacy Dickens and Little Nell statue in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania Museums and festivals celebrating Dickens 's life and works exist in many places with which Dickens was associated . These include the Charles Dickens Museum in London , the historic home where he wrote Oliver Twist , The Pickwick Papers and Nicholas Nickleby ; and the Charles Dickens Birthplace Museum in Portsmouth , the house in which he was born . The original manuscripts of many of his novels , as well as printers ' proofs , first editions , and illustrations from the collection of Dickens 's friend John Forster are held at the Victoria and Albert Museum . Dickens 's will stipulated that no memorial be erected in his honour ; nonetheless , a life - size bronze statue of Dickens entitled Dickens and Little Nell , cast in 1891 by Francis Edwin Elwell , stands in Clark Park in the Spruce Hill neighbourhood of Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . Another life - size statue of Dickens is located at Centennial Park , Sydney , Australia . In 2014 , a life - size statue was unveiled near his birthplace in Portsmouth on the 202nd anniversary of his birth ; this was supported by the author 's great - great grandsons , Ian and Gerald Dickens . Dickens was commemorated on the Series E £ 10 note issued by the Bank of England that circulated between 1992 and 2003 . His portrait appeared on the reverse of the note accompanied by a scene from The Pickwick Papers . The Charles Dickens School is a high school in Broadstairs , Kent . A theme park , Dickens World , standing in part on the site of the former naval dockyard where Dickens 's father once worked in the Navy Pay Office , opened in Chatham in 2007 . To celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens in 2012 , the Museum of London held the UK 's first major exhibition on the author in 40 years . In 2002 , Dickens was number 41 in the BBC 's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons . American literary critic Harold Bloom placed Dickens among the greatest Western Writers of all time . In the UK survey The Big Read , carried out by the BBC in 2003 , five of Dickens 's books were named in the Top 100 . Dickens and his publications have appeared on a number of postage stamps including : UK ( 1970 , 1993 , 2011 and 2012 ) , Soviet Union ( 1962 ) , Antigua , Barbuda , Botswana , Cameroon , Dubai , Fujairah , St Christopher , Nevis and Anguilla , St Helena , St Lucia and Turks and Caicos Islands ( 1970 ) , St Vincent ( 1987 ) , Nevis ( 2007 ) , Alderney , Gibraltar , Jersey and Pitcairn Islands ( 2012 ) , Austria ( 2013 ) , Mozambique ( 2014 ) .

what was the first book that charles dickens published

Dickens 's literary success began with the 1836 serial publication of The Pickwick Papers . Within a few years he had become an international literary celebrity , famous for his humour , satire , and keen observation of character and society . His novels , most published in monthly or weekly instalments , pioneered the serial publication of narrative fiction , which became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication . Cliffhanger endings in his serial publications kept readers in suspense . The instalment format allowed Dickens to evaluate his audience 's reaction , and he often modified his plot and character development based on such feedback . For example , when his wife 's chiropodist expressed distress at the way Miss Mowcher in David Copperfield seemed to reflect her disabilities , Dickens improved the character with positive features . His plots were carefully constructed , and he often wove elements from topical events into his narratives . Masses of the illiterate poor chipped in ha'pennies to have each new monthly episode read to them , opening up and inspiring a new class of readers .

It is set in the surgical wing of the fictional Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital , located in Seattle , Washington . After the explosion at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital , Chief Miranda Bailey ( Chandra Wilson ) finds it the perfect time to give the place a much needed upgrade in look and functionality . During the construction , Owen Hunt ( Kevin McKidd ) struggles with the shocking reunion with his sister , Megan ( Abigail Spencer ) , who was recently found in a hostage camp overseas . The discovery also welcomes back Teddy Altman ( Kim Raver ) , the former chief cardiothoracic surgery and Owen 's best friend , which leads to awkward moments with Amelia Shepherd ( Caterina Scorsone ) . Of course , Nathan Riggs ( Martin Henderson ) , who was once in love with Megan , is torn between his love for her and his most recent interest in Meredith Grey ( Ellen Pompeo ) . Arizona Robbins ( Jessica Capshaw ) learns what `` ghosting '' is after Eliza Minnick ( Marika Dominczyk ) vanishes without a trace , but she quickly finds company in an Italian girl she met at the bar , Carina DeLuca ( Stefania Spampinato ) , sister to Andrew DeLuca ( Giacomo Gianniotti ) . Jo Wilson ( Camilla Luddington ) struggles to patch her relationship with Alex Karev ( Justin Chambers ) , but when her attempts fail , she finds herself sleeping with one of the new interns . When Carina finds that Amelia has a brain tumor , she brings her former mentor / professor Dr Tom Koracek ( Greg Germann ) to create a treatment plan . But when he points out how the tumor has affected her judgment , she fears that it might have ruined her patient 's lives or put them in more danger -- specifically Dr Nicole Herman ( Geena Davis ) , who despite saving her life , was left blind . After the tumor is removed , Amelia and Owen reflect on their marriage and decide that everything up to that point has been misguided ; the tumor made Amelia someone she was not , and they ultimately decide to get a divorce . With all the changes happening at Grey Sloan , Harper Avery ( Chelcie Ross ) shows up to discuss everything with Bailey and then ends up firing her . Shortly after , he immediately dies from cardiac arrest . Before they have to find another chief , Catherine ( Debbie Allen ) and Jackson Avery ( Jesse Williams ) reinstate Bailey to her position . At a family dinner hosted by Catherine and Richard Weber ( James Pickens Jr . ) , Maggie Pierce ( Kelly McCreary ) and Jackson learn that he 'll be receiving his grandfather 's inheritance , a quarter billion dollars , which he 'll eventually use to fund a medical research contest . Now that Megan is healthy again , Meredith and Nathan work together to bring her son over to the United States . Upon arrival , Nathan , Megan , and Farouk all move to California to start a life together , which officially ends Nathan 's relationship with Meredith . Despite the breakup , Meredith has more exciting news on the horizon when she learns at the intern mixer that a ground breaking surgery has earned her a nomination for the highly - esteemed Harper Avery Foundation Award , which she goes on to win . While the joyous news spreads around the hospital , Bailey learns that Ben Warren ( Jason George ) wants to leave surgery to join the Seattle Fire Department . With Jo and Alex now living together again , she realizes how much control her estranged husband , Dr Paul Stadler ( Matthew Morrison ) , has over her . Now in the running for chief resident , Jo decides to file for divorce . With her mind on her secret relationship with Paul , she 's surprised to find him in the hospital . Jo attempts to steer clear of him , but at the same time also believes she has a duty to inform Paul 's fiancé of what type of man he really is . As Paul keeps trying to find Jo , Meredith pretends to call security to have him removed , but he leaves before they can get there . However , he winds up back in the ER as a victim of a hit and run accident . With everyone running around the ER , April Kepner ( Sarah Drew ) sees a familiar face in Matthew ( Justin Bruening ) , the paramedic she left at the altar for Jackson . He 's there with his wife who is now pregnant . After Jo talks to Jenny ( Bethany Joy Lenz ) , Paul 's fiancé , they venture to Paul 's room to tell him they 're taking him to court .

She winds up at Seattle Presbyterian Hospital , where the doctors take her concerns less than seriously . They see in her chart a history of OCD and believe that is the underlying issue , since the tests they are running are coming back negative . Bailey calls on Maggie to save her , and after she does , Bailey decides to support Ben 's decision to become a firefighter , as she realizes life is too short to do anything than what makes you happy . With the medical research contest , funded by Jackson 's money , getting underway , the doctors begin to team up and brainstorm ideas that will help them win the top prize of a grant that will fund their research even further . Meredith learns that for her project , she 'll need to acquire a patent that is owned by Marie Cerone ... a former friend of her mother 's . When Marie denies access to the patent , Meredith is forced to investigate further into the reason why . According to Richard , there was a falling out of some sort , but he never knew what happened between the two women . At a dinner party hosted by Amelia , Maggie brings her new boyfriend around to meet her friends . However , it 's soon revealed that her boyfriend is a married man . Quick to call it off , Jackson sees his opportunity to invest in his love interest with Maggie . In Meredith 's search for answers , she learns that Ellis Grey left Marie 's name off the surgical method they created together . If she is to acquire the patent , she must publicly announce a change the method 's name to the Grey - Cerone Method . Meredith denies the ultimatum . While Maggie and Jackson try to get past the quirks of their relationship and the fact that their step - siblings , Jo shockingly asks Alex to marry him . He quickly accepts .

She advises him to go after her if she 's the love of his life . The advice sends him to Germany where he surprises Teddy .

The man had 13 cases of sexual harassment filed against him , and she herself paid the women major settlements to keep it all covered up . Meredith learns of this truth and also that Marie Cerone was one of the 13 . Disgusted with the whole situation , Meredith decides to return her and her mother 's Harper Avery awards and Bailey shuts down the research contest .

After he rushes her back to the hospital , the team rallies to save her , and after extreme measures have been taken to bring her back to life , she wakes up , fully functional . Alex and Jo 's wedding day has arrived , and though most details have come together , April ( who has been planning the wedding ) panics when multiple guests go to the wrong ceremony .

Once at the hospital , Bailey struggles to find an available cardio surgeon until Teddy unexpectedly arrives looking for a job . Jo learns she 's been accepted into Mass Gen 's fellowship program , but fearful of losing Alex , Meredith offers Jo the general surgery attending position .

Energy usage of the United States military - wikipedia Energy usage of the United States military A view of solar panels installed in 2011 on the roof of Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command Headquarters , San Diego . The rooftop photovoltaic installation supports the Department of Defense 's goal of increasing renewable energy sources to 25 percent of all energy consumed by the year 2025 . The United States Department of Defense is one of the largest single consumers of energy in the world , responsible for 93 % of all US government fuel consumption in 2007 ( Air Force : 52 % ; Navy : 33 % ; Army : 7 % . Other DoD : 1 % ) . In FY 2006 , the DoD used almost 30,000 gigawatt hours ( GWH ) of electricity , at a cost of almost $2.2 billion . The DoD 's electricity use would supply enough electricity to power more than 2.6 million average American homes . In electricity consumption , if it were a country , the DoD would rank 58th in the world , using slightly less than Denmark and slightly more than Syria ( CIA World Factbook , 2006 ) . The Department of Defense uses 4,600,000,000 US gallons ( 1.7 × 10 L ) of fuel annually , an average of 12,600,000 US gallons ( 48,000,000 L ) of fuel per day . A large Army division may use about 6,000 US gallons ( 23,000 L ) per day . According to the 2005 CIA World Factbook , if it were a country , the DoD would rank 34th in the world in average daily oil use , coming in just behind Iraq and just ahead of Sweden . Contents 1 General 2 Air Force 3 Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Operational Energy Plans and Programs 4 Recent developments 5 See also 6 References 7 Further reading 8 External links General ( edit ) See also : Climate change and national security The military recognizes that renewable energy can provide improvements in force safety and budget stability as well as mitigate climate change so it has several programs working on deploying alternative energy at major facilities and in forward operating bases . Admiral Samuel J. Locklear has called climate change the biggest concern for the United States military . Air Force ( edit ) The Air Force is the largest user of fuel energy in the federal government . The Air Force uses 10 % of the nation 's aviation fuel . ( JP - 8 accounts for nearly 90 % of its fuels . ) This fuel usage breaks down as such : 82 % jet fuel , 16 % facility management and 2 % ground vehicle / equipment . To meet renewable energy goals , the Air Force plans to certify its entire fleet on coal - to - liquid synthetic fuel blends by 2011 . By 2016 , it plans to fuel half of its domestic transportation by US - produced synthetic blends , including blends of biofuels and jetfuels , known as Hydrotreated Renewable Jet ( HRJ ) . The Air Force is currently the leading purchaser of renewable energy within the Federal government and has been a long time pioneer of renewable energy development and leadership . The Air Force is recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency as a Green Power Partner , one of the nation 's top purchasers of green power . The Air Force Energy Plan , published in May 2010 , includes more information about the Air Force 's goals , including reducing demand , increasing supply , and changing the culture to include energy awareness . Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Operational energy plans and programs ( edit ) In 2010 , DoD established the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Operational Energy Plans and Programs to coordinate energy issues . In July 2010 , DoD also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. Department of Energy to facilitate cooperation and accelerate research , development , and deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies . DoD 's Energy Conservation Investment Program ( ECIP ) improves the energy and water efficiency of existing Military Services ' facilities . The program 's projects help the Military Services save on energy usage and cost . The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provided $120 million for the ECIP . The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has also given money for the Army , Navy , Marine Corps , Air Force , Army Reserve , Navy Reserve , Marine Corps Reserve , Air Force Reserve , Army National Guard and Air National Guard facilities to invest in energy efficiency . Recent developments ( edit ) The US Army has recently prioritized renewable energy strategies in Iraq . Strategies include the Tactical Garbage to Energy Refinery Program , which converts 1 short ton ( 0.91 t ) of waste to 11 US gal ( 42 L ) of JP - 8 fuel , a photovoltaic flexible , portable mat , insulating foam technology , hybrid - electric Manned Ground Vehicles ( MGV ) , and highly efficient portable cells . The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act gave more than $150 million to develop these technologies . Stateside , the Army created the Net Zero program with a goal to have 30 installations achieve net - zero energy by 2030 , including some that will also be net - zero in waste and water . In 2011 , they opened the Base Camp Systems Integration Laboratory , which compares an energy efficient base camp with a traditional one and trains soldiers to use energy efficient technologies . The Army Energy Security Implementation Strategy , published in 2009 , gives details about the Army 's energy goals . The Department of the Navy established Task Force Energy to focus on meeting energy goals , which include reducing non-tactical petroleum use in the commercial fleet by 50 percent by 2015 , producing at least 50 percent of shore based energy from alternative sources by 2050 , acquiring 50 percent of total energy from alternative sources by 2020 , and having 50 percent of Navy and Marine Corps installations be net - zero by 2020 . The Navy hopes to demonstrate a Green Strike Group ( fueled by biofuels and nuclear power ) by 2012 and sail the Great Green Fleet by 2016 . The Office of Naval Research developed and deployed the Experimental Forward Operating Base ( ExFOB ) , including photovoltaic energy , shelter insulation , small unit water purification , and energy efficient heating , lighting , and cooling . The Marine Corps established the Expeditionary Energy Office to increase combat effectiveness by reducing the need for liquid fossil fuel by 50 percent by 2025 , using liquid fuel for mobility only . The Defense Department plans to invest $9 billion to improve energy use in military operations through 2017 . Through the SolarStrong program , a total of 300MW of PV installations were done on 120,000 roofs of base housing throughout the U.S. The 14MW Nellis Solar Power Plant went online in 2007 . Fort Bliss has a 1.4 MW PV array as well as 13MW of base housing PV and a second 15MW solar farm should be online in 2015 . Fort Irwin had initially proposed a 500MW PV farm but 15MW solar farm was later awarded for construction with a separate 2MW PV system at the base hospital . A 14MW PV plant was built at China Lake in 2011 . Fort Drum converted a coal power plant to a 28MW biomass plant . In 2014 , the U.S. military invested $210 million in 3 biofuel refineries which will produce fuels which meet military specifications .

Highest - paid NBA players by season - wikipedia Highest - paid NBA players by season Jump to : navigation , search The highest - paid NBA players by season over the past twelve seasons have received contracts with salaries noted in the twenty - million - dollar range . In this twelve - year span , Kevin Garnett received $28,000,000 , which was the highest salary payment of any NBA player , during the 2003 -- 04 season . Garnett has been the highest - paid NBA player per year in seven of the past twelve NBA seasons . Michael Jordan was the first NBA player to sign a contract worth over thirty million dollars in a season . During the 1997 -- 98 season , Jordan earned $33,000,000 . Kobe Bryant become just the second player to reach this milestone when the 2013 -- 14 season began . LeBron James became the third in the 2016 -- 17 season . Stephen Curry became the first player to eclipse $40 - Million per year when he signed a record 5 - year contract worth $201 - Million in 2017 . Beginning in the 1984 -- 85 NBA season , the NBA 's first salary cap was introduced . The NBA salary cap is the maximum dollar amount each NBA team can spend on its players for the season . However , the NBA uses a `` soft '' salary cap , which means that significant `` salary exceptions '' allow NBA teams to exceed their allotted amount in order to sign players . The salary cap is determined during the offseason , but as stated earlier , it is liable to change . Michael Jordan , who earned $33,000,000 in the 1997 -- 98 NBA season , attempts a slam dunk at the old Boston Garden . An exception is necessary to sign a player for a contract that would exceed the salary cap threshold of the `` soft cap '' . The Larry Bird exception , more commonly known as Bird Rights , allows teams to re-sign a current player only if he has played for that particular team for a minimum of three years . Another exception known as the mid-level exception allows for teams that are over the salary cap to sign one or more players as long as they do not exceed the total amount of the average NBA salary . Next , the bi-annual exception can be used by teams every other year to sign a free agent ( s ) for up to two years at an amount set by the NBA . Finally , the rookie player exception allows any NBA team to sign their first - round draft pick to a contract based upon a scale previously set forth by the NBA . Another option for teams would be to assign players to a league - assigned minimum salary contract for a maximum of two years . According to 2010 -- 11 NBA season game performance , the league 's best players were not its highest - paid players . Each year there are ten players selected to one of the two All - NBA Teams . Out of those ten players chosen that year , Kobe Bryant was the only player that was also among the game 's ten highest - paid during the 2010 -- 11 NBA season .

The descriptive `` milky '' is derived from the appearance from Earth of the galaxy -- a band of light seen in the night sky formed from stars that can not be individually distinguished by the naked eye . The term Milky Way is a translation of the Latin via lactea , from the Greek γαλαξίας κύκλος ( galaxías kýklos , `` milky circle '' ) . From Earth , the Milky Way appears as a band because its disk - shaped structure is viewed from within . Galileo Galilei first resolved the band of light into individual stars with his telescope in 1610 . Until the early 1920s , most astronomers thought that the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe . Following the 1920 Great Debate between the astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis , observations by Edwin Hubble showed that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies . The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy with a diameter between 100,000 and 180,000 light - years . The Milky Way is estimated to contain 100 -- 400 billion stars . There are probably at least 100 billion planets in the Milky Way . The Solar System is located within the disk , about 26,000 light - years from the Galactic Center , on the inner edge of one of the spiral - shaped concentrations of gas and dust called the Orion Arm . The stars in the inner ≈ 10,000 light - years form a bulge and one or more bars that radiate from the bulge . The very center is marked by an intense radio source , named Sagittarius A * , which is likely to be a supermassive black hole . Stars and gases at a wide range of distances from the Galactic Center orbit at approximately 220 kilometers per second . The constant rotation speed contradicts the laws of Keplerian dynamics and suggests that much of the mass of the Milky Way does not emit or absorb electromagnetic radiation . This mass has been termed `` dark matter '' . The rotational period is about 240 million years at the position of the Sun . The Milky Way as a whole is moving at a velocity of approximately 600 km per second with respect to extragalactic frames of reference . The oldest stars in the Milky Way are nearly as old as the Universe itself and thus probably formed shortly after the Dark Ages of the Big Bang . The Milky Way has several satellite galaxies and is part of the Local Group of galaxies , which is a component of the Virgo Supercluster , which is itself a component of the Laniakea Supercluster .

The bright object on the right is Jupiter , just above Antares . Play media This time - lapse video captures the Milky Way circling over ALMA . The `` Milky Way '' can be seen as a hazy band of white light some 30 degrees wide arcing across the sky . Although all the individual naked - eye stars in the entire sky are part of the Milky Way , the light in this band originates from the accumulation of unresolved stars and other material located in the direction of the galactic plane . Dark regions within the band , such as the Great Rift and the Coalsack , are areas where light from distant stars is blocked by interstellar dust . The area of the sky obscured by the Milky Way is called the Zone of Avoidance . The Milky Way has a relatively low surface brightness . Its visibility can be greatly reduced by background light such as light pollution or stray light from the Moon . The sky needs to be darker than about 20.2 magnitude per square arcsecond in order for the Milky Way to be seen . It should be visible when the limiting magnitude is approximately + 5.1 or better and shows a great deal of detail at + 6.1 . This makes the Milky Way difficult to see from any brightly lit urban or suburban location , but very prominent when viewed from a rural area when the Moon is below the horizon . The new world atlas of artificial night sky brightness shows that more than one - third of Earth 's population can not see the Milky Way from their homes due to light pollution . As viewed from Earth , the visible region of the Milky Way 's Galactic plane occupies an area of the sky that includes 30 constellations . The center of the Galaxy lies in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius ; it is here that the Milky Way is brightest . From Sagittarius , the hazy band of white light appears to pass around to the Galactic anticenter in Auriga . The band then continues the rest of the way around the sky , back to Sagittarius . The band divides the night sky into two roughly equal hemispheres . The Galactic plane is inclined by about 60 degrees to the ecliptic ( the plane of Earth 's orbit ) . Relative to the celestial equator , it passes as far north as the constellation of Cassiopeia and as far south as the constellation of Crux , indicating the high inclination of Earth 's equatorial plane and the plane of the ecliptic , relative to the Galactic plane . The north Galactic pole is situated at right ascension 12 49 , declination + 27.4 ° ( B1950 ) near β Comae Berenices , and the south Galactic pole is near α Sculptoris . Because of this high inclination , depending on the time of night and year , the arc of the Milky Way may appear relatively low or relatively high in the sky . For observers from approximately 65 degrees north to 65 degrees south on Earth 's surface , the Milky Way passes directly overhead twice a day . The Milky Way arching at a high inclination across the night sky ( fish - eye mosaic shot at Paranal , Chile ) . The bright object is Jupiter in the constellation Sagittarius , and the Magellanic Clouds can be seen on the left . Galactic north is downwards . Size and mass A photograph of galaxy UGC 12158 , which is thought to resemble the Milky Way in appearance . The Milky Way is the second - largest galaxy in the Local Group , with its stellar disk approximately 100,000 ly ( 30 kpc ) in diameter , and , on average , approximately 1,000 ly ( 0.3 kpc ) thick . As a guide to the relative physical scale of the Milky Way , if the Solar System out to Neptune were the size of a US quarter ( 24.3 mm ( 0.955 in ) ) , the Milky Way would be approximately the size of the continental United States . A ring - like filament of stars wrapping around the Milky Way may belong to the Milky Way itself , rippling above and below the relatively flat galactic plane . If so , that would mean a diameter of 150,000 -- 180,000 light - years ( 46 -- 55 kpc ) . Schematic profile of the Milky Way . Estimates of the mass of the Milky Way vary , depending upon the method and data used . At the low end of the estimate range , the mass of the Milky Way is 5.8 × 10 solar masses ( M ) , somewhat less than that of the Andromeda Galaxy . Measurements using the Very Long Baseline Array in 2009 found velocities as large as 254 km / s ( 570,000 mph ) for stars at the outer edge of the Milky Way . Because the orbital velocity depends on the total mass inside the orbital radius , this suggests that the Milky Way is more massive , roughly equaling the mass of Andromeda Galaxy at 7 × 10 M within 160,000 ly ( 49 kpc ) of its center . In 2010 , a measurement of the radial velocity of halo stars found that the mass enclosed within 80 kilo parsecs is 7 × 10 M. According to a study published in 2014 , the mass of the entire Milky Way is estimated to be 8.5 × 10 M , which is about half the mass of the Andromeda Galaxy . Much of the mass of the Milky Way appears to be dark matter , an unknown and invisible form of matter that interacts gravitationally with ordinary matter . A dark matter halo is spread out relatively uniformly to a distance beyond one hundred kiloparsecs from the Galactic Center . Mathematical models of the Milky Way suggest that the mass of dark matter is 1 -- 1.5 × 10 M. Recent studies indicate a range in mass , as large as 4.5 × 10 M and as small as 8 × 10 M . The total mass of all the stars in the Milky Way is estimated to be between 4.6 × 10 M and 6.43 × 10 M. In addition to the stars , there is also interstellar gas , comprising 90 % hydrogen and 10 % helium by mass , with two thirds of the hydrogen found in the atomic form and the remaining one - third as molecular hydrogen . The mass of this gas is equal to between 10 % and 15 % of the total mass of the galaxy 's stars . Interstellar dust accounts for an additional 1 % of the total mass of the gas . Contents Further information : Exoplanet The Milky Way contains between 200 and 400 billion stars and at least 100 billion planets . The exact figure depends on the number of very - low - mass stars , which are hard to detect , especially at distances of more than 300 ly ( 90 pc ) from the Sun . As a comparison , the neighboring Andromeda Galaxy contains an estimated one trillion ( 10 ) stars . Filling the space between the stars is a disk of gas and dust called the interstellar medium . This disk has at least a comparable extent in radius to the stars , whereas the thickness of the gas layer ranges from hundreds of light years for the colder gas to thousands of light years for warmer gas . The disk of stars in the Milky Way does not have a sharp edge beyond which there are no stars . Rather , the concentration of stars decreases with distance from the center of the Milky Way . For reasons that are not understood , beyond a radius of roughly 40,000 ly ( 13 kpc ) from the center , the number of stars per cubic parsec drops much faster with radius . Surrounding the galactic disk is a spherical Galactic Halo of stars and globular clusters that extends further outward but is limited in size by the orbits of two Milky Way satellites , the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds , whose closest approach to the Galactic Center is about 180,000 ly ( 55 kpc ) . At this distance or beyond , the orbits of most halo objects would be disrupted by the Magellanic Clouds . Hence , such objects would probably be ejected from the vicinity of the Milky Way . The integrated absolute visual magnitude of the Milky Way is estimated to be around − 20.9 . Both gravitational microlensing and planetary transit observations indicate that there may be at least as many planets bound to stars as there are stars in the Milky Way , and microlensing measurements indicate that there are more rogue planets not bound to host stars than there are stars . The Milky Way contains at least one planet per star , resulting in 100 -- 400 billion planets , according to a January 2013 study of the five - planet star system Kepler - 32 with the Kepler space observatory . A different January 2013 analysis of Kepler data estimated that at least 17 billion Earth - sized exoplanets reside in the Milky Way . On November 4 , 2013 , astronomers reported , based on Kepler space mission data , that there could be as many as 40 billion Earth - sized planets orbiting in the habitable zones of Sun - like stars and red dwarfs within the Milky Way . 11 billion of these estimated planets may be orbiting Sun - like stars . The nearest such planet may be 4.2 light - years away , according to a 2016 study . Such Earth - sized planets may be more numerous than gas giants . Besides exoplanets , `` exocomets '' , comets beyond the Solar System , have also been detected and may be common in the Milky Way . 360 - degree panorama view of the Milky Way ( an assembled mosaic of photographs ) by ESO . The galactic centre is in the middle of the view , with galactic north up . Structure Play media An artist 's impression that shows how the Milky Way would look from very different perspectives than from Earth . From some angles , the central bulge shows up as a peanut - shaped glowing ball of stars , and from above , the central narrow bar appears clearly . The many spiral arms and their associated dust clouds are also clearly seen . Artist 's conception of the spiral structure of the Milky Way with two major stellar arms and a bar Spitzer reveals what can not be seen in visible light : cooler stars ( blue ) , heated dust ( reddish hue ) , and Sgr A * as bright white spot in the middle . Bright X-ray flares from Sagittarius A * , location of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way . The Milky Way consists of a bar - shaped core region surrounded by a disk of gas , dust and stars . The mass distribution within the Milky Way closely resembles the type Sbc in the Hubble classification , which represents spiral galaxies with relatively loosely wound arms . Astronomers began to suspect that the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy , rather than an ordinary spiral galaxy , in the 1990s . Their suspicions were confirmed by the Spitzer Space Telescope observations in 2005 that showed the Milky Way 's central bar to be larger than previously thought . Galactic quadrants Main article : Galactic quadrant A galactic quadrant , or quadrant of the Milky Way , refers to one of four circular sectors in the division of the Milky Way . In actual astronomical practice , the delineation of the galactic quadrants is based upon the galactic coordinate system , which places the Sun as the origin of the mapping system . Quadrants are described using ordinals -- for example , `` 1st galactic quadrant '' , `` second galactic quadrant '' , or `` third quadrant of the Milky Way '' . Viewing from the north galactic pole with 0 degrees ( ° ) as the ray that runs starting from the Sun and through the Galactic Center , the quadrants are as follows : 1st galactic quadrant -- 0 ° ≤ longitude ( l ) ≤ 90 ° 2nd galactic quadrant -- 90 ° ≤ l ≤ 180 ° 3rd galactic quadrant -- 180 ° ≤ l ≤ 270 ° 4th galactic quadrant -- 270 ° ≤ l ≤ 360 ° ( 0 ° ) Galactic Center Main article : Galactic Center The Sun is 25,000 -- 28,000 ly ( 7.7 -- 8.6 kpc ) from the Galactic Center . This value is estimated using geometric - based methods or by measuring selected astronomical objects that serve as standard candles , with different techniques yielding various values within this approximate range . In the inner few kpc ( around 10,000 light - years radius ) is a dense concentration of mostly old stars in a roughly spheroidal shape called the bulge . It has been proposed that the Milky Way lacks a bulge formed due to a collision and merger between previous galaxies , and that instead it has a pseudobulge formed by its central bar . The Galactic Center is marked by an intense radio source named Sagittarius A * ( pronounced Sagittarius A-star ) . The motion of material around the center indicates that Sagittarius A * harbors a massive , compact object . This concentration of mass is best explained as a supermassive black hole ( SMBH ) with an estimated mass of 4.1 -- 4.5 million times the mass of the Sun . The rate of accretion of the SMBH is consistent with an inactive galactic nucleus , being estimated at around 6995100000000000000 ♠ 1 × 10 M y . Observations indicate that there are SMBH located near the center of most normal galaxies . The nature of the Milky Way 's bar is actively debated , with estimates for its half - length and orientation spanning from 1 to 5 kpc ( 3,000 -- 16,000 ly ) and 10 -- 50 degrees relative to the line of sight from Earth to the Galactic Center . Certain authors advocate that the Milky Way features two distinct bars , one nestled within the other . However , RR Lyrae variables do not trace a prominent Galactic bar . The bar may be surrounded by a ring called the `` 5 - kpc ring '' that contains a large fraction of the molecular hydrogen present in the Milky Way , as well as most of the Milky Way 's star formation activity . Viewed from the Andromeda Galaxy , it would be the brightest feature of the Milky Way . X-ray emission from the core is aligned with the massive stars surrounding the central bar and the Galactic ridge . Illustration of the two gigantic X-ray / gamma - ray bubbles ( blue - violet ) of the Milky Way ( center ) In 2010 , two gigantic spherical bubbles of high energy emission were detected to the north and the south of the Milky Way core , using data from the Fermi Gamma - ray Space Telescope . The diameter of each of the bubbles is about 25,000 light - years ( 7.7 kpc ) ; they stretch up to Grus and to Virgo on the night - sky of the southern hemisphere . Subsequently , observations with the Parkes Telescope at radio frequencies identified polarized emission that is associated with the Fermi bubbles . These observations are best interpreted as a magnetized outflow driven by star formation in the central 640 ly ( 200 pc ) of the Milky Way . Later , on January 5 , 2015 , NASA reported observing an X-ray flare 400 times brighter than usual , a record - breaker , from Sagittarius A * . The unusual event may have been caused by the breaking apart of an asteroid falling into the black hole or by the entanglement of magnetic field lines within gas flowing into Sagittarius A * . Spiral arms For more details on this topic , see Spiral galaxy . Outside the gravitational influence of the Galactic bars , the structure of the interstellar medium and stars in the disk of the Milky Way is organized into four spiral arms . Spiral arms typically contain a higher density of interstellar gas and dust than the Galactic average as well as a greater concentration of star formation , as traced by H II regions and molecular clouds . The Milky Way 's spiral structure is uncertain , and there is currently no consensus on the nature of the Milky Way 's spiral arms . Perfect logarithmic spiral patterns only crudely describe features near the Sun , because galaxies commonly have arms that branch , merge , twist unexpectedly , and feature a degree of irregularity . The possible scenario of the Sun within a spur / Local arm emphasizes that point and indicates that such features are probably not unique , and exist elsewhere in the Milky Way . Estimates of the pitch angle of the arms range from about 7 ° to 25 ° . There are thought to be four spiral arms that all start near the Milky Way 's center . These are named as follows , with the positions of the arms shown in the image at right : Observed ( normal lines ) and extrapolated ( dotted lines ) structure of the spiral arms . The gray lines radiating from the Sun 's position ( upper center ) list the three - letter abbreviations of the corresponding constellations . Color Arm ( s ) cyan 3 - kpc Arm ( Near 3 kpc Arm and Far 3 kpc Arm ) and Perseus Arm purple Norma and Outer arm ( Along with extension discovered in 2004 ) green Scutum -- Centaurus Arm pink Carina -- Sagittarius Arm There are at least two smaller arms or spurs , including : orange Orion -- Cygnus Arm ( which contains the Sun and Solar System ) Two spiral arms , the Scutum -- Centaurus arm and the Carina -- Sagittarius arm , have tangent points inside the Sun 's orbit about the center of the Milky Way . If these arms contain an overdensity of stars compared to the average density of stars in the Galactic disk , it would be detectable by counting the stars near the tangent point . Two surveys of near - infrared light , which is sensitive primarily to red giants and not affected by dust extinction , detected the predicted overabundance in the Scutum -- Centaurus arm but not in the Carina -- Sagittarius arm : the Scutum - Centaurus Arm contains approximately 30 % more red giants than would be expected in the absence of a spiral arm . This observation suggests that the Milky Way possesses only two major stellar arms : the Perseus arm and the Scutum -- Centaurus arm . The rest of the arms contain excess gas but not excess old stars . In December 2013 , astronomers found that the distribution of young stars and star - forming regions matches the four - arm spiral description of the Milky Way . Thus , the Milky Way appears to have two spiral arms as traced by old stars and four spiral arms as traced by gas and young stars . The explanation for this apparent discrepancy is unclear . Clusters detected by WISE used to trace the Milky Way 's spiral arms The Near 3 kpc Arm ( also called Expanding 3 kpc Arm or simply 3 kpc Arm ) was discovered in the 1950s by astronomer van Woerden and collaborators through 21 - centimeter radio measurements of HI ( atomic hydrogen ) . It was found to be expanding away from the central bulge at more than 50 km / s . It is located in the fourth galactic quadrant at a distance of about 5.2 kpc from the Sun and 3.3 kpc from the Galactic Center . The Far 3 kpc Arm was discovered in 2008 by astronomer Tom Dame ( Harvard - Smithsonian CfA ) . It is located in the first galactic quadrant at a distance of 3 kpc ( about 10,000 ly ) from the Galactic Center . A simulation published in 2011 suggested that the Milky Way may have obtained its spiral arm structure as a result of repeated collisions with the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy . It has been suggested that the Milky Way contains two different spiral patterns : an inner one , formed by the Sagittarius arm , that rotates fast and an outer one , formed by the Carina and Perseus arms , whose rotation velocity is slower and whose arms are tightly wound . In this scenario , suggested by numerical simulations of the dynamics of the different spiral arms , the outer pattern would form an outer pseudoring , and the two patterns would be connected by the Cygnus arm . The long filamentary molecular cloud dubbed `` Nessie '' probably forms a dense `` spine '' of the Scutum -- Centarus Arm Outside of the major spiral arms is the Monoceros Ring ( or Outer Ring ) , a ring of gas and stars torn from other galaxies billions of years ago . However , several members of the scientific community recently restated their position affirming the Monoceros structure is nothing more than an over-density produced by the flared and warped thick disk of the Milky Way . Halo The Galactic disk is surrounded by a spheroidal halo of old stars and globular clusters , of which 90 % lie within 100,000 light - years ( 30 kpc ) of the Galactic Center . However , a few globular clusters have been found farther , such as PAL 4 and AM1 at more than 200,000 light - years from the Galactic Center . About 40 % of the Milky Way 's clusters are on retrograde orbits , which means they move in the opposite direction from the Milky Way rotation . The globular clusters can follow rosette orbits about the Milky Way , in contrast to the elliptical orbit of a planet around a star . Although the disk contains dust that obscures the view in some wavelengths , the halo component does not . Active star formation takes place in the disk ( especially in the spiral arms , which represent areas of high density ) , but does not take place in the halo , as there is little gas cool enough to collapse into stars . Open clusters are also located primarily in the disk . Discoveries in the early 21st century have added dimension to the knowledge of the Milky Way 's structure . With the discovery that the disk of the Andromeda Galaxy ( M31 ) extends much further than previously thought , the possibility of the disk of the Milky Way extending further is apparent , and this is supported by evidence from the discovery of the Outer Arm extension of the Cygnus Arm and of a similar extension of the Scutum - Centaurus Arm . With the discovery of the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy came the discovery of a ribbon of galactic debris as the polar orbit of the dwarf and its interaction with the Milky Way tears it apart . Similarly , with the discovery of the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy , it was found that a ring of galactic debris from its interaction with the Milky Way encircles the Galactic disk . The Sloan Digital Sky Survey of the northern sky shows a huge and diffuse structure ( spread out across an area around 5,000 times the size of a full moon ) within the Milky Way that does not seem to fit within current models . The collection of stars rises close to perpendicular to the plane of the spiral arms of the Milky Way . The proposed likely interpretation is that a dwarf galaxy is merging with the Milky Way . This galaxy is tentatively named the Virgo Stellar Stream and is found in the direction of Virgo about 30,000 light - years ( 9 kpc ) away . Gaseous halo In addition to the stellar halo , the Chandra X-ray Observatory , XMM - Newton , and Suzaku have provided evidence that there is a gaseous halo with a large amount of hot gas . The halo extends for hundreds of thousand of light years , much further than the stellar halo and close to the distance of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds . The mass of this hot halo is nearly equivalent to the mass of the Milky Way itself . The temperature of this halo gas is between 1 and 2.5 million K ( 1.8 and 4.5 million F ) . Observations of distant galaxies indicate that the Universe had about one - sixth as much baryonic ( ordinary ) matter as dark matter when it was just a few billion years old . However , only about half of those baryons are accounted for in the modern Universe based on observations of nearby galaxies like the Milky Way . If the finding that the mass of the halo is comparable to the mass of the Milky Way is confirmed , it could be the identity of the missing baryons around the Milky Way . Sun 's location and Neighborhood Diagram of the Sun 's location in the Milky Way . The angles represent longitudes in the galactic coordinate system . Diagram of the stars in the Solar neighborhood The Sun is near the inner rim of the Orion Arm , within the Local Fluff of the Local Bubble , and in the Gould Belt , at a distance of 26.4 ± 1.0 kly ( 8.09 ± 0.31 kpc ) from the Galactic Center . The Sun is currently 5 -- 30 parsecs ( 16 -- 98 ly ) from the central plane of the Galactic disk . The distance between the local arm and the next arm out , the Perseus Arm , is about 2,000 parsecs ( 6,500 ly ) . The Sun , and thus the Solar System , is located in the Milky Way 's galactic habitable zone . There are about 208 stars brighter than absolute magnitude 8.5 within a sphere with a radius of 15 parsecs ( 49 ly ) from the Sun , giving a density of one star per 69 cubic parsecs , or one star per 2,360 cubic light - years ( from List of nearest bright stars ) . On the other hand , there are 64 known stars ( of any magnitude , not counting 4 brown dwarfs ) within 5 parsecs ( 16 ly ) of the Sun , giving a density of about one star per 8.2 cubic parsecs , or one per 284 cubic light - years ( from List of nearest stars ) . This illustrates the fact that there are far more faint stars than bright stars : in the entire sky , there are about 500 stars brighter than apparent magnitude 4 but 15.5 million stars brighter than apparent magnitude 14 . The apex of the Sun 's way , or the solar apex , is the direction that the Sun travels through space in the Milky Way . The general direction of the Sun 's Galactic motion is towards the star Vega near the constellation of Hercules , at an angle of roughly 60 sky degrees to the direction of the Galactic Center . The Sun 's orbit about the Milky Way is expected to be roughly elliptical with the addition of perturbations due to the Galactic spiral arms and non-uniform mass distributions . In addition , the Sun passes through the Galactic plane approximately 2.7 times per orbit . This is very similar to how a simple harmonic oscillator works with no drag force ( damping ) term . These oscillations were until recently thought to coincide with mass lifeform extinction periods on Earth . However , a reanalysis of the effects of the Sun 's transit through the spiral structure based on CO data has failed to find a correlation . It takes the Solar System about 240 million years to complete one orbit of the Milky Way ( a galactic year ) , so the Sun is thought to have completed 18 -- 20 orbits during its lifetime and 1 / 1250 of a revolution since the origin of humans . The orbital speed of the Solar System about the center of the Milky Way is approximately 220 km / s ( 490,000 mph ) or 0.073 % of the speed of light . The Sun moves through the heliosphere at 84,000 km / h ( 52,000 mph ) . At this speed , it takes around 1,400 years for the Solar System to travel a distance of 1 light - year , or 8 days to travel 1 AU ( astronomical unit ) . The Solar System is headed in the direction of the zodiacal constellation Scorpius , which follows the ecliptic . Galactic rotation Galaxy rotation curve for the Milky Way . Vertical axis is speed of rotation about the Galactic Center . Horizontal axis is distance from the Galactic Center in kpcs . The Sun is marked with a yellow ball . The observed curve of speed of rotation is blue . The predicted curve based upon stellar mass and gas in the Milky Way is red . Scatter in observations roughly indicated by gray bars . The difference is due to dark matter . The stars and gas in the Milky Way rotate about its center differentially , meaning that the rotation period varies with location . As is typical for spiral galaxies , the orbital speed of most stars in the Milky Way does not depend strongly on their distance from the center . Away from the central bulge or outer rim , the typical stellar orbital speed is between 210 and 240 km / s ( 470,000 and 540,000 mph ) . Hence the orbital period of the typical star is directly proportional only to the length of the path traveled . This is unlike the situation within the Solar System , where two - body gravitational dynamics dominate , and different orbits have significantly different velocities associated with them . The rotation curve ( shown in the figure ) describes this rotation . Toward the center of the Milky Way the orbit speeds are too low , whereas beyond 7 kpcs the speeds are too high to match what would be expected from the universal law of gravitation . If the Milky Way contained only the mass observed in stars , gas , and other baryonic ( ordinary ) matter , the rotation speed would decrease with distance from the center . However , the observed curve is relatively flat , indicating that there is additional mass that can not be detected directly with electromagnetic radiation . This inconsistency is attributed to dark matter . The rotation curve of the Milky Way agrees with the universal rotation curve of spiral galaxies , the best evidence for the existence of dark matter in galaxies . Alternatively , a minority of astronomers propose that a modification of the law of gravity may explain the observed rotation curve .

Also see : Human timeline and Life timeline Main article : Galaxy formation and evolution The Milky Way began as one or several small overdensities in the mass distribution in the Universe shortly after the Big Bang . Some of these overdensities were the seeds of globular clusters in which the oldest remaining stars in what is now the Milky Way formed . Nearly half the matter in the Milky Way may have come from other distant galaxies . Nonetheless , these stars and clusters now comprise the stellar halo of the Milky Way . Within a few billion years of the birth of the first stars , the mass of the Milky Way was large enough so that it was spinning relatively quickly . Due to conservation of angular momentum , this led the gaseous interstellar medium to collapse from a roughly spheroidal shape to a disk . Therefore , later generations of stars formed in this spiral disk . Most younger stars , including the Sun , are observed to be in the disk . Since the first stars began to form , the Milky Way has grown through both galaxy mergers ( particularly early in the Milky Way 's growth ) and accretion of gas directly from the Galactic halo . The Milky Way is currently accreting material from two of its nearest satellite galaxies , the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds , through the Magellanic Stream . Direct accretion of gas is observed in high - velocity clouds like the Smith Cloud . However , properties of the Milky Way such as stellar mass , angular momentum , and metallicity in its outermost regions suggest it has undergone no mergers with large galaxies in the last 10 billion years . This lack of recent major mergers is unusual among similar spiral galaxies ; its neighbour the Andromeda Galaxy appears to have a more typical history shaped by more recent mergers with relatively large galaxies . According to recent studies , the Milky Way as well as the Andromeda Galaxy lie in what in the galaxy color -- magnitude diagram is known as the `` green valley '' , a region populated by galaxies in transition from the `` blue cloud '' ( galaxies actively forming new stars ) to the `` red sequence '' ( galaxies that lack star formation ) . Star - formation activity in green valley galaxies is slowing as they run out of star - forming gas in the interstellar medium . In simulated galaxies with similar properties , star formation will typically have been extinguished within about five billion years from now , even accounting for the expected , short - term increase in the rate of star formation due to the collision between both the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy . In fact , measurements of other galaxies similar to the Milky Way suggest it is among the reddest and brightest spiral galaxies that are still forming new stars and it is just slightly bluer than the bluest red sequence galaxies . Age and cosmological History Night sky from a hypothetical planet within the Milky Way 10 billion years ago . Globular clusters are among the oldest objects in the Milky Way , which thus set a lower limit on the age of the Milky Way . The ages of individual stars in the Milky Way can be estimated by measuring the abundance of long - lived radioactive elements such as thorium - 232 and uranium - 238 , then comparing the results to estimates of their original abundance , a technique called nucleocosmochronology . These yield values of about 12.5 ± 3 billion years for CS 31082 - 001 and 13.8 ± 4 billion years for BD + 17 ° 3248 . Once a white dwarf is formed , it begins to undergo radiative cooling and the surface temperature steadily drops . By measuring the temperatures of the coolest of these white dwarfs and comparing them to their expected initial temperature , an age estimate can be made . With this technique , the age of the globular cluster M4 was estimated as 12.7 ± 0.7 billion years . Age estimates of the oldest of these clusters gives a best fit estimate of 12.6 billion years , and a 95 % confidence upper limit of 16 billion years . Several individual stars have been found in the Milky Way 's halo with measured ages very close to the 13.80 - billion - year age of the Universe . In 2007 , a star in the galactic halo , HE 1523 - 0901 , was estimated to be about 13.2 billion years old . As the oldest known object in the Milky Way at that time , this measurement placed a lower limit on the age of the Milky Way . This estimate was made using the UV - Visual Echelle Spectrograph of the Very Large Telescope to measure the relative strengths of spectral lines caused by the presence of thorium and other elements created by the R - process . The line strengths yield abundances of different elemental isotopes , from which an estimate of the age of the star can be derived using nucleocosmochronology . Another star , HD 140283 , is 14.5 ± 0.7 billion years old . The age of stars in the galactic thin disk has also been estimated using nucleocosmochronology . Measurements of thin disk stars yield an estimate that the thin disk formed 8.8 ± 1.7 billion years ago . These measurements suggest there was a hiatus of almost 5 billion years between the formation of the galactic halo and the thin disk . Recent analysis of the chemical signatures of thousands of stars suggests that stellar formation might have dropped by an order of magnitude at the time of disk formation , 10 to 8 billion years ago , when interstellar gas was too hot to form new stars at the same rate as before . The satellite galaxies surrounding the Milky way are not randomly distributed , but seemed to be the result of a break - up of some larger system producing a ring structure 500,000 light years in diameter and 50,000 light years wide . Close encounters between galaxies , like that expected in 4 billion years with the Andromeda Galaxy rips off huge tails of gas , which , over time can coalesce to form dwarf galaxies in a ring at right angles to the main disc . Environment Diagram of the galaxies in the Local Group relative to the Milky Way The position of the Local Group within the Virgo Supercluster Main article : Local Group The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are a binary system of giant spiral galaxies belonging to a group of 50 closely bound galaxies known as the Local Group , surrounded by a Local Void , itself being part of the Virgo Supercluster . Surrounding the Virgo Supercluster are a number of voids , devoid of many galaxies , the Microscopium Void to the `` north '' , the Sculptor Void to the `` left '' , the Bootes Void to the `` right '' and the Canes - Major Void to the South . These voids change shape over time , creating filamentous structures of galaxies . The Virgo Supercluster , for instance , is being drawn towards the Great Attractor , which in turn forms part of a greater structure , called Laniakea . Two smaller galaxies and a number of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group orbit the Milky Way . The largest of these is the Large Magellanic Cloud with a diameter of 14,000 light - years . It has a close companion , the Small Magellanic Cloud . The Magellanic Stream is a stream of neutral hydrogen gas extending from these two small galaxies across 100 ° of the sky . The stream is thought to have been dragged from the Magellanic Clouds in tidal interactions with the Milky Way . Some of the dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way are Canis Major Dwarf ( the closest ) , Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy , Ursa Minor Dwarf , Sculptor Dwarf , Sextans Dwarf , Fornax Dwarf , and Leo I Dwarf . The smallest dwarf galaxies of the Milky Way are only 500 light - years in diameter . These include Carina Dwarf , Draco Dwarf , and Leo II Dwarf . There may still be undetected dwarf galaxies that are dynamically bound to the Milky Way , which is supported by the detection of nine new satellites of the Milky Way in a relatively small patch of the night sky in 2015 . There are also some dwarf galaxies that have already been absorbed by the Milky Way , such as Omega Centauri . In 2014 researchers reported that most satellite galaxies of the Milky Way actually lie in a very large disk and orbit in the same direction . This came as a surprise : according to standard cosmology , the satellite galaxies should form in dark matter halos , and they should be widely distributed and moving in random directions . This discrepancy is still not fully explained . In January 2006 , researchers reported that the heretofore unexplained warp in the disk of the Milky Way has now been mapped and found to be a ripple or vibration set up by the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds as they orbit the Milky Way , causing vibrations when they pass through its edges . Previously , these two galaxies , at around 2 % of the mass of the Milky Way , were considered too small to influence the Milky Way . However , in a computer model , the movement of these two galaxies creates a dark matter wake that amplifies their influence on the larger Milky Way . Current measurements suggest the Andromeda Galaxy is approaching us at 100 to 140 km / s ( 220,000 to 310,000 mph ) . In 3 to 4 billion years , there may be an Andromeda -- Milky Way collision , depending on the importance of unknown lateral components to the galaxies ' relative motion . If they collide , the chance of individual stars colliding with each other is extremely low , but instead the two galaxies will merge to form a single elliptical galaxy or perhaps a large disk galaxy over the course of about a billion years . Velocity Although special relativity states that there is no `` preferred '' inertial frame of reference in space with which to compare the Milky Way , the Milky Way does have a velocity with respect to cosmological frames of reference . One such frame of reference is the Hubble flow , the apparent motions of galaxy clusters due to the expansion of space . Individual galaxies , including the Milky Way , have peculiar velocities relative to the average flow . Thus , to compare the Milky Way to the Hubble flow , one must consider a volume large enough so that the expansion of the Universe dominates over local , random motions . A large enough volume means that the mean motion of galaxies within this volume is equal to the Hubble flow . Astronomers believe the Milky Way is moving at approximately 630 km / s ( 1,400,000 mph ) with respect to this local co-moving frame of reference . The Milky Way is moving in the general direction of the Great Attractor and other galaxy clusters , including the Shapley supercluster , behind it . The Local Group ( a cluster of gravitationally bound galaxies containing , among others , the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy ) is part of a supercluster called the Local Supercluster , centered near the Virgo Cluster : although they are moving away from each other at 967 km / s ( 2,160,000 mph ) as part of the Hubble flow , this velocity is less than would be expected given the 16.8 million pc distance due to the gravitational attraction between the Local Group and the Virgo Cluster . Another reference frame is provided by the cosmic microwave background ( CMB ) . The Milky Way is moving at 552 ± 6 km / s ( 1,235,000 ± 13,000 mph ) with respect to the photons of the CMB , toward 10.5 right ascension , − 24 ° declination ( J2000 epoch , near the center of Hydra ) . This motion is observed by satellites such as the Cosmic Background Explorer ( COBE ) and the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( WMAP ) as a dipole contribution to the CMB , as photons in equilibrium in the CMB frame get blue - shifted in the direction of the motion and red - shifted in the opposite direction . Etymology and mythology Main articles : List of names for the Milky Way and Milky Way ( mythology ) In Babylonia , the Milky Way was said to be the tail of Tiamat , set in the sky by Marduk after he had slain the salt water goddess . It is believed this account , from the Enuma Elish had Marduk replace an earlier Sumerian story when Enlil of Nippur had slain the goddess . Llys Dôn ( literally `` The Court of Dôn '' ) is the traditional Welsh name for the constellation Cassiopeia . At least three of Dôn 's children also have astronomical associations : Caer Gwydion ( `` The fortress of Gwydion '' ) is the traditional Welsh name for the Milky Way , and Caer Arianrhod ( `` The Fortress of Arianrhod '' ) being the constellation of Corona Borealis . In western culture the name `` Milky Way '' is derived from its appearance as a dim un-resolved `` milky '' glowing band arching across the night sky . The term is a translation of the Classical Latin via lactea , in turn derived from the Hellenistic Greek γαλαξίας , short for γαλαξίας κύκλος ( galaxías kýklos , `` milky circle '' ) . The Ancient Greek γαλαξίας ( galaxias ) -- from root γαλακτ - , γάλα ( `` milk '' ) + - ίας ( forming adjectives ) -- is also the root of `` galaxy '' , the name for our , and later all such , collections of stars . In Greek mythology it was supposedly made from the forceful suckling of Heracles , when Hera acted as a wetnurse for the hero . The Milky Way , or `` milk circle '' , was just one of 11 `` circles '' the Greeks identified in the sky , others being the zodiac , the meridian , the horizon , the equator , the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn , Arctic and Antarctic circles , and two colure circles passing through both poles . Astronomical History See also : Galaxy § Observation history The shape of the Milky Way as deduced from star counts by William Herschel in 1785 ; the Solar System was assumed near center In Meteorologica ( DK 59 A80 ) , Aristotle ( 384 -- 322 BC ) wrote that the Greek philosophers Anaxagoras ( c. 500 -- 428 BC ) and Democritus ( 460 -- 370 BC ) proposed that the Milky Way might consist of distant stars . However , Aristotle himself believed the Milky Way to be caused by `` the ignition of the fiery exhalation of some stars which were large , numerous and close together '' and that the `` ignition takes place in the upper part of the atmosphere , in the region of the world which is continuous with the heavenly motions . '' The Neoplatonist philosopher Olympiodorus the Younger ( c. 495 -- 570 A.D. ) criticized this view , arguing that if the Milky Way were sublunary , it should appear different at different times and places on Earth , and that it should have parallax , which it does not . In his view , the Milky Way is celestial . This idea would be influential later in the Islamic world . The Persian astronomer Abū Rayhān al - Bīrūnī ( 973 -- 1048 ) proposed that the Milky Way is `` a collection of countless fragments of the nature of nebulous stars '' . The Andalusian astronomer Avempace ( d 1138 ) proposed the Milky Way to be made up of many stars but appears to be a continuous image due to the effect of refraction in Earth 's atmosphere , citing his observation of a conjunction of Jupiter and Mars in 1106 or 1107 as evidence . Ibn Qayyim Al - Jawziyya ( 1292 -- 1350 ) proposed that the Milky Way is `` a myriad of tiny stars packed together in the sphere of the fixed stars '' and that these stars are larger than planets . According to Jamil Ragep , the Persian astronomer Naṣīr al - Dīn al - Ṭūsī ( 1201 -- 1274 ) in his Tadhkira writes : `` The Milky Way , i.e. the Galaxy , is made up of a very large number of small , tightly clustered stars , which , on account of their concentration and smallness , seem to be cloudy patches . Because of this , it was likened to milk in color . '' Actual proof of the Milky Way consisting of many stars came in 1610 when Galileo Galilei used a telescope to study the Milky Way and discovered that it is composed of a huge number of faint stars . In a treatise in 1755 , Immanuel Kant , drawing on earlier work by Thomas Wright , speculated ( correctly ) that the Milky Way might be a rotating body of a huge number of stars , held together by gravitational forces akin to the Solar System but on much larger scales . The resulting disk of stars would be seen as a band on the sky from our perspective inside the disk . Kant also conjectured that some of the nebulae visible in the night sky might be separate `` galaxies '' themselves , similar to our own . Kant referred to both the Milky Way and the `` extragalactic nebulae '' as `` island universes '' , a term still current up to the 1930s . The first attempt to describe the shape of the Milky Way and the position of the Sun within it was carried out by William Herschel in 1785 by carefully counting the number of stars in different regions of the visible sky . He produced a diagram of the shape of the Milky Way with the Solar System close to the center . In 1845 , Lord Rosse constructed a new telescope and was able to distinguish between elliptical and spiral - shaped nebulae . He also managed to make out individual point sources in some of these nebulae , lending credence to Kant 's earlier conjecture . Photograph of the `` Great Andromeda Nebula '' from 1899 , later identified as the Andromeda Galaxy In 1917 , Heber Curtis had observed the nova S Andromedae within the Great Andromeda Nebula ( Messier object 31 ) . Searching the photographic record , he found 11 more novae . Curtis noticed that these novae were , on average , 10 magnitudes fainter than those that occurred within the Milky Way . As a result , he was able to come up with a distance estimate of 150,000 parsecs . He became a proponent of the `` island universes '' hypothesis , which held that the spiral nebulae were actually independent galaxies . In 1920 the Great Debate took place between Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis , concerning the nature of the Milky Way , spiral nebulae , and the dimensions of the Universe . To support his claim that the Great Andromeda Nebula is an external galaxy , Curtis noted the appearance of dark lanes resembling the dust clouds in the Milky Way , as well as the significant Doppler shift . The controversy was conclusively settled by Edwin Hubble in the early 1920s using the Mount Wilson observatory 2.5 m ( 100 in ) Hooker telescope . With the light - gathering power of this new telescope , he was able to produce astronomical photographs that resolved the outer parts of some spiral nebulae as collections of individual stars . He was also able to identify some Cepheid variables that he could use as a benchmark to estimate the distance to the nebulae . He found that the Andromeda Nebula is 275,000 parsecs from the Sun , far too distant to be part of the Milky Way . Mapping The ESA spacecraft Gaia provides distance estimates by determining the parallax of a billion stars and is mapping the Milky Way with four planned releases of maps in 2022 .

He regarded the fixed stars not as a disorganized swarm that was scattered without a design ; rather , he found a systematic shape in the whole , and a general relation between these stars and the principal plane of the space that they occupy . ) Jump up ^ Kant ( 1755 ) , pages xxxiii -- xxxvi of the Preface ( Vorrede ) : Archived November 20 , 2016 , at the Wayback Machine . `` Ich betrachtete die Art neblichter Sterne , deren Herr von Maupertuis in der Abhandlung von der Figur der Gestirne gedenket , und die die Figur von mehr oder weniger offenen Ellipsen vorstellen , und versicherte mich leicht , daß sie nichts anders als eine Häufung vieler Fixsterne seyn können . Die jederzeit abgemessene Rundung dieser Figuren belehrte mich , daß hier ein unbegreiflich zahlreiches Sternenheer , und zwar um einen gemeinschaftlichen Mittelpunkt , müste geordnet seyn , weil sonst ihre freye Stellungen gegen einander , wohl irreguläre Gestalten , aber nicht abgemessene Figuren vorstellen würden . Ich sahe auch ein : daß sie in dem System , darinn sie sich vereinigt befinden , vornemlich auf eine Fläche beschränkt seyn müßten , weil sie nicht zirkelrunde , sondern elliptische Figuren abbilden , und daß sie wegen ihres blassen Lichts unbegreiflich weit von uns abstehen . '' ( I considered the type of nebulous stars , which Mr. de Maupertuis considered in his treatise on the shape of stars , and which present the figures of more or less open ellipses , and I readily assured myself , that they could be nothing else than a cluster of fixed stars . That these figures always measured round informed me that here an inconceivably numerous host of stars , ( which were clustered ) around a common center , must be orderly , because otherwise their free positions among each other would probably present irregular forms , not measurable figures . I also realized : that in the system in which they find themselves bound , they must be restricted primarily to a plane , because they display not circular , but elliptical figures , and that on account of their faint light , they are located inconceivably far from us . ) Jump up ^ Evans , J.C.

where is earth within the milky way galaxy

The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy with a diameter between 100,000 and 180,000 light - years . The Milky Way is estimated to contain 100 -- 400 billion stars . There are probably at least 100 billion planets in the Milky Way . The Solar System is located within the disk , about 26,000 light - years from the Galactic Center , on the inner edge of one of the spiral - shaped concentrations of gas and dust called the Orion Arm . The stars in the inner ≈ 10,000 light - years form a bulge and one or more bars that radiate from the bulge . The very center is marked by an intense radio source , named Sagittarius A * , which is likely to be a supermassive black hole .

The territory has the smallest population of any province or territory in Canada , with 35,874 people . Whitehorse is the territorial capital and Yukon 's only city . The territory was split from the Northwest Territories in 1898 and was named the Yukon Territory . The federal government 's Yukon Act , which received royal assent on March 27 , 2002 , established Yukon as the territory 's official name , though Yukon Territory is also still popular in usage and Canada Post continues to use the territory 's internationally approved postal abbreviation of YT . Though officially bilingual ( English and French ) , the Yukon Government also recognizes First Nations languages . At 5,959 m ( 19,551 ft ) , Yukon 's Mount Logan , in Kluane National Park and Reserve , is the highest mountain in Canada and the second - highest on the North American continent ( after Denali in the U.S. state of Alaska ) . Most of Yukon has a subarctic climate , characterized by long cold winters and brief warm summers . The Arctic Ocean coast has a tundra climate . Notable rivers include the Yukon River , after which the territory was named , as well as the Pelly , Stewart , Peel , White and Tatshenshini rivers .

The name itself is from a contraction of the words in the Gwich'in phrase chųų gąįį han , which means white water river and refers to `` the pale colour '' of glacial runoff in the Yukon River . History ( edit ) Main article : History of Yukon Long before the arrival of Europeans , central and southern Yukon was populated by First Nations people , and the area escaped glaciation . Sites of archeological significance in Yukon hold some of the earliest evidence of the presence of human occupation in North America . The sites safeguard the history of the first people and the earliest First Nations of the Yukon . The volcanic eruption of Mount Churchill in approximately 800 AD in what is now the U.S. state of Alaska blanketed southern Yukon with a layer of ash which can still be seen along the Klondike Highway , and which forms part of the oral tradition of First Nations peoples in Yukon and further south in Canada . Coastal and inland First Nations had extensive trading networks . European incursions into the area only began early in the 19th century with the fur trade , followed by missionaries . By the 1870s and 1880s gold miners began to arrive . This drove a population increase that justified the establishment of a police force , just in time for the start of the Klondike Gold Rush in 1897 . The increased population coming with the gold rush led to the separation of the Yukon district from the Northwest Territories and the formation of the separate Yukon Territory in 1898 . Geography ( edit ) Map of Yukon Main article : Geography of Yukon The territory is the approximate shape of a right triangle , bordering the U.S. state of Alaska to the west and northwest for 1,210 km ( 752 mi ) mostly along longitude 141 ° W , the Northwest Territories to the east and British Columbia to the south . Its northern coast is on the Beaufort Sea . Its ragged eastern boundary mostly follows the divide between the Yukon Basin and the Mackenzie River drainage basin to the east in the Mackenzie mountains . Most of the territory is in the watershed of its namesake , the Yukon River . The southern Yukon is dotted with a large number of large , long and narrow glacier - fed alpine lakes , most of which flow into the Yukon River system . The larger lakes include Teslin Lake , Atlin Lake , Tagish Lake , Marsh Lake , Lake Laberge , Kusawa Lake and Kluane Lake . Bennett Lake on the Klondike Gold Rush trail is a lake flowing into Nares Lake , with the greater part of its area within Yukon . Canada 's highest point , Mount Logan ( 5,959 m or 19,551 ft ) , is in the territory 's southwest . Mount Logan and a large part of the Yukon 's southwest are in Kluane National Park and Reserve , a UNESCO World Heritage Site . Other national parks include Ivvavik National Park and Vuntut National Park in the north . Mount Logan from the southeast Other watersheds include the Mackenzie River , the Peel Watershed and the Alsek -- Tatshenshini , and a number of rivers flowing directly into the Beaufort Sea . The two main Yukon rivers flowing into the Mackenzie in the Northwest Territories are the Liard River in the southeast and the Peel River and its tributaries in the northeast . Notable widespread tree species within Yukon are the black spruce and white spruce . Many trees are stunted because of the short growing season and severe climate . The capital , Whitehorse , is also the largest city , with about three - quarters of the population ; the second largest is Dawson City ( pop. 2,016 ) , which was the capital until 1952 . Climate ( edit ) See also : Climate change in the Arctic Köppen climate types in Yukon While the average winter temperature in the Yukon is mild by Canadian arctic standards , no other place in North America gets as cold as the Yukon during extreme cold snaps . The temperature has dropped down to − 60 ° C ( − 76 ° F ) three times , 1947 , 1954 , and 1968 . The most extreme cold snap occurred in February 1947 when the abandoned town of Snag dropped down to − 63.0 ° C ( − 81.4 ° F ) . Unlike most of Canada where the most extreme heat waves occur in July , August , and even September , The Yukon 's extreme heat tends to occur in June and even May . The Yukon has recorded 36 ° C ( 97 ° F ) three times . The first time was in June 1969 when Mayo recorded a temperature of 36.1 ° C ( 97 ° F ) . 14 years later this record was almost beaten when Forty Mile recorded 36 ° C ( 97 ° F ) in May 1983 . The old record was finally broken 21 years later in June 2004 when the Mayo Road weather station , located just northwest of Whitehorse , recorded a temperature of 36.5 ° C ( 97.7 ° F ) .

At that time , 87.7 % of residents were Canadian - born and 24.2 % were of Aboriginal origin . The most common countries of birth for immigrants were the United Kingdom ( 15.9 % ) , the Philippines ( 15.0 % ) , and the United States ( 13.2 % ) . Among very recent immigrants ( between 2006 and 2011 ) living in Yukon , 63.5 % were born in Asia .

The Yukon Language Act `` recognises the significance '' of aboriginal languages in Yukon ; however , only English and French are available for laws , court proceedings , and legislative assembly proceedings . Religion ( edit ) This article 's factual accuracy may be compromised due to out - of - date information . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( May 2012 ) The 2011 National Household Survey reported that 49.9 % of Yukoners reported having no religious affiliation , the highest percentage in Canada . The most frequently reported religious affiliation was Christianity , reported by 46.2 % of residents . Of these , the most common denominations were the Catholic Church ( 39.6 % ) , the Anglican Church of Canada ( 17.8 % ) and the United Church of Canada ( 9.6 % ) . Economy ( edit ) Yukon 's historical major industry was mining ( lead , zinc , silver , gold , asbestos and copper ) . The government acquired the land from the Hudson 's Bay Company in 1870 and split it from the Northwest Territories in 1898 to fill the need for local government created by the population influx of the gold rush . Thousands of these prospectors flooded the territory , creating a colourful period recorded by authors such as Robert W. Service and Jack London . The memory of this period and the early days of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police , as well as the territory 's scenic wonders and outdoor recreation opportunities , makes tourism the second most important industry . Manufacturing , including furniture , clothing , and handicrafts , follows in importance , along with hydroelectricity . The traditional industries of trapping and fishing have declined . Today , the government sector is by far the biggest employer in the territory , directly employing approximately 5,000 out of a labour force of 12,500 , on a population of 36,500 . On 1 May 2015 , Yukon modified its Business Corporations Act , in an effort to attract more benefits and participants to its economy . One amendment to the BCA lets a proxy be given for voting purposes . Another change will allow directors to pursue business opportunities declined by the corporation , a practice off - limits in most other jurisdictions due to the inherent potential for conflicts of interest . One of the changes will allow a corporation to serve as a director of a subsidiary registered in Yukon . The legislation also allows companies to add provisions in their articles of incorporation giving directors blanket approval to sell of all of the company 's assets without requiring a shareholder vote . If provided for by a unanimous shareholders agreement , a corporation is not required to have directors at all . There is increased flexibility regarding the location of corporate records offices , including the ability to maintain a records office outside of the Yukon so long as it is accessible by electronic means . Tourism ( edit ) Yukon welcome sign Yukon 's tourism motto is `` Larger than life '' . Yukon 's major appeal is its nearly pristine nature . Tourism relies heavily on this , and there are many organized outfitters and guides available to hunters and anglers and nature lovers of all sorts . Sports enthusiasts can paddle lakes and rivers with canoes and kayaks , ride or walk trails , ski or snowboard in an organized setting or access the backcountry by air or snowmobile , climb the highest peaks in Canada or take a family hike up smaller mountains , or try ice climbing and dog sledding . There are also various festivals and sporting events such as the Yukon International Storytelling Festival and Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous . There are many opportunities to experience pre-colonial lifestyles by learning about Yukon 's First Nations . Wildlife and nature observation is exceptional and a wide variety of large mammals , birds , and fish are easily accessible , whether or not within Yukon 's many territorial parks ( Herschel Island Qikiqtaruk Territorial Park , Tombstone Territorial Park , Fishing Branch Ni'iinlii'njik Park , Coal River Springs Territorial Park ) and national parks ( Kluane National Park and Reserve , Vuntut National Park , Ivvavik National Park ) and reserves , or nearby Liard River Hot Springs Provincial Park in British Columbia . The latitude enables the view of aurora borealis in Yukon . Arts and culture ( edit ) See also : Music of Yukon Although English is the main language used in the territory , as evidenced by the census , the Government of Yukon recognizes several aboriginal languages as part of the cultural heritage of the territory : the Tlingit , and the less common Tahltan , as well as seven Athapaskan languages , Upper Tanana , Gwitchin , Hän , Northern Tutchone , Southern Tutchone , Kaska and Tagish , some of which are rare . As noted above , the `` aboriginal identity population '' makes up a substantial minority , accounting for about 25 percent . Notwithstanding , the aboriginal culture is strongly reflected in such areas as winter sports , as in the Yukon Quest sled dog race . The modern comic - book character Yukon Jack depicts a heroic aboriginal persona . By far the strongest cultural and tourism aspect of Yukon , however , is the legacy of the Klondike Gold Rush ( 1897 -- 1899 ) , which inspired such contemporary writers at the time as Robert W. Service , Jack London and Jules Verne and which continues to inspire films and games from Mae West 's Klondike Annie to The Yukon Trail ( see Cultural legacy of the Klondike Gold Rush ) . Notable residents have included Leslie Nielsen , Erik Nielsen and Pierre Berton . Events and festivals ( edit ) See also : Category : Festivals in Yukon Yukon also has a wide array of cultural and sporting events and infrastructures that attract artists , participants and tourists from all parts of the world ; Yukon International Storytelling Festival , Dawson City Music Festival , Yukon Quest , Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous , the Adäka Cultural Festival , the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre , Northern Lights Centre , Klondike Gold Rush memorials and activities , Takhini Hot Springs , and the Whitehorse fish ladder . Government ( edit ) Chief Isaac of the Hän , Yukon Territory , 1898 In the 19th century , Yukon was a segment of North - Western Territory that was administered by the Hudson 's Bay Company , and then of the Northwest Territories administered by the federal Canadian government . It only obtained a recognizable local government in 1895 when it became a separate district of the Northwest Territories . In 1898 , it was made a separate territory with its own commissioner and an appointed Territorial Council . Prior to 1979 , the territory was administered by the commissioner who was appointed by the federal Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development . The commissioner had a role in appointing the territory 's Executive Council , served as chair , and had a day - to - day role in governing the territory . The elected Territorial Council had a purely advisory role . In 1979 , a significant degree of power was devolved from the commissioner and the federal government to the territorial legislature which , in that year , adopted a party system of responsible government . This change was accomplished through a letter from Jake Epp , the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development , rather than through formal legislation . In preparation for responsible government , political parties were organized and ran candidates to the Yukon Legislative Assembly for the first time in 1978 . The Progressive Conservatives won these elections and formed the first party government of Yukon in January 1979 . The Yukon New Democratic Party ( NDP ) formed the government from 1985 to 1992 under Tony Penikett and again from 1996 under Piers McDonald until being defeated in 2000 . The conservatives returned to power in 1992 under John Ostashek after having renamed themselves the Yukon Party . The Liberal government of Pat Duncan was defeated in elections in November 2002 , with Dennis Fentie of the Yukon Party forming the government as Premier . The Yukon Act , passed on April 1 , 2003 , formalized the powers of the Yukon government and devolved additional powers to the territorial government ( e.g. , control over land and natural resources ) . As of 2003 , other than criminal prosecutions , the Yukon government has much of the same powers as provincial governments , and the other two territories are looking to obtaining the same powers . Today the role of commissioner is analogous to that of a provincial lieutenant governor ; however , unlike lieutenant - governors , commissioners are not formal representatives of the Queen but are employees of the federal government . Although there has been discussion in the past about Yukon becoming Canada 's 11th province , it is generally felt that its population base is too sparse for this to occur at present . At the federal level , the territory is represented in the Parliament of Canada by a single Member of Parliament and one senator . Members of Parliament from Canadian territories are full and equal voting representatives and residents of the territory enjoy the same rights as other Canadian citizens . One Yukon Member of Parliament , Erik Nielsen , was the Deputy Prime Minister under the government of Brian Mulroney , while another , Audrey McLaughlin , was the leader of the federal New Democratic Party from 1989 to 1995 . Federal representation ( edit ) Main article : Yukon ( electoral district ) The entire territory is one riding ( electoral district ) in the Canadian House of Commons , also called Yukon . The current holder of the seat is Liberal Member of Parliament Larry Bagnell following his victory in the 2015 federal election . Yukon is allocated one seat in the Senate of Canada and has been represented by three Senators since the position was created in 1975 . The Senate position is held by Conservative senator Daniel Lang , who was appointed by then - Prime Minister Stephen Harper on December 22 , 2008 . It was previously filled by Ione Christensen , of the Liberal Party . Appointed to the Senate in 1999 by Prime Minister Jean Chrétien , Christensen resigned in December 2006 to help her ailing husband . From 1975 to 1999 , Paul Lucier ( Liberal ) served as Senator for Yukon . Lucier was appointed by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau . First Nations ( edit ) Much of the population of the territory is First Nations . An umbrella land claim agreement representing 7,000 members of 14 different First Nations was signed with the federal government in 1993 . Eleven of the 14 Yukon First Nations have negotiated and signed comprehensive land claim and self - government agreements . The 14 First Nations speak eight different languages . The territory once had an Inuit settlement , located on Herschel Island off the Arctic coast . This settlement was dismantled in 1987 and its inhabitants relocated to the neighbouring Northwest Territories . As a result of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement , the island is now a territorial park and is known officially as Qikiqtaruk Territorial Park , Qikiqtaruk being the name of the island in Inuvialuktun .

From the Gold Rush until the 1950s , riverboats plied the Yukon River , mostly between Whitehorse and Dawson City , with some making their way further to Alaska and over to the Bering Sea , and other tributaries of the Yukon River such as the Stewart River . Most of the riverboats were owned by the British - Yukon Navigation Company , an arm of the White Pass and Yukon Route , which also operated a narrow gauge railway between Skagway , Alaska , and Whitehorse . The railway ceased operation in the 1980s with the first closure of the Faro mine . It is now run during the summer months for the tourism season , with operations as far as Carcross . Today , major land routes include the Alaska Highway , the Klondike Highway ( between Skagway and Dawson City ) , the Haines Highway ( between Haines , Alaska , and Haines Junction ) , and the Dempster Highway ( linking Inuvik , Northwest Territories to the Klondike Highway ) , all paved except for the Dempster . Other highways with less traffic include the `` Robert Campbell Highway '' linking Carmacks ( on the Klondike Highway ) to Watson Lake ( Alaska Highway ) via Faro and Ross River , and the `` Silver Trail '' linking the old silver mining communities of Mayo , Elsa and Keno City to the Klondike Highway at the Stewart River bridge . Air travel is the only way to reach the far north community of Old Crow . Whitehorse International Airport serves as the air transport infrastructure hub , with scheduled direct flights to Vancouver , Kelowna , Calgary , Edmonton , Yellowknife , Inuvik , Ottawa , Dawson City , Old Crow and Frankfurt . Whitehorse International Airport is also the headquarters and primary hub for Air North , Yukon 's Airline . Every Yukon community is served by an airport or community aerodrome . The communities of Dawson City and Old Crow have regular scheduled service through Air North . Air charter businesses exist primarily to serve the tourism and mining exploration industries .

A Whiter Shade of Pale - wikipedia A Whiter Shade of Pale Jump to : navigation , search `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' A-side label of the UK vinyl single Single by Procol Harum from the album Procol Harum B - side `` Lime Street Blues '' Released 12 May 1967 Format 7 - inch record Recorded Olympic Sound Studios , London Genre Baroque rock Length 4 : 03 Label Deram Songwriter ( s ) Gary Brooker , Keith Reid , Matthew Fisher Producer ( s ) Denny Cordell Procol Harum singles chronology `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' ( 1967 ) `` Homburg '' ( 1967 ) `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' ( 1967 ) `` Homburg '' ( 1967 ) `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' is the debut song by the British rock band Procol Harum , released 12 May 1967 . The single reached number one in the UK Singles Chart on 8 June 1967 and stayed there for six weeks . Without much promotion , it reached number 5 on the Bilboard pop chart in the United States . One of the anthems of the 1967 Summer of Love , it is one of fewer than 30 singles to have sold over 10 million copies worldwide . With its haunting Bach - derived instrumental melody , soulful vocals , and unusual lyrics -- by the song 's co-authors Gary Brooker , Keith Reid and Matthew Fisher -- `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' reached No. 1 in several countries when released in 1967 . In the years since , it has become an enduring classic . It was the most played song in the last 75 years in public places in the UK ( as of 2009 ) , and the United Kingdom performing rights group Phonographic Performance Limited in 2004 recognised it as the most - played record by British broadcasting of the past 70 years . Also in 2004 , Rolling Stone placed `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' 57th on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time . In 1977 , the song was named joint winner ( along with Queen 's `` Bohemian Rhapsody '' ) of `` The Best British Pop Single 1952 -- 1977 '' at the Brit Awards . In 1998 the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame . More than 1000 recorded cover versions by other artists are known . The song has been included in many music compilations over the decades and has also been used in the soundtracks of numerous films , including The Big Chill , Purple Haze , Breaking the Waves , The Boat That Rocked , Martin Scorsese 's segment of New York Stories , Stonewall , and Ken Burns and Lynn Novick 's documentary series The Vietnam War . Cover versions of the song have also been featured in many films , for example , by King Curtis in Withnail and I and by Annie Lennox in The Net . The original writing credits were for Brooker and Reid only . On 30 July 2009 , Matthew Fisher won co-writing credit for the music in a unanimous ruling from the Law Lords .

Drums were by session drummer Bill Eyden . A few days later , the song was re-recorded with the band 's then newly recruited drummer Bobby Harrison , but that version was discarded , and one of the original mono recordings was chosen for release . Producer for the record was Denny Cordell , and Keith Grant was the sound engineer . The song was included on the US release of the Procol Harum album , in September 1967 , but not on the later UK version . Lyrics ( edit ) Reid got the title and starting point for the song at a party . He overheard someone at the party saying to a woman , `` You 've turned a whiter shade of pale '' , and the phrase stuck in his mind . The original lyrics had four verses , of which only two are heard on the original recording . The third verse has been heard in live performances by Procol Harum , and more seldom also the fourth . The author of Procol Harum : Beyond the Pale , Claes Johansen , suggests that the song `` deals in metaphorical form with a male / female relationship which after some negotiation ends in a sexual act '' . This is supported by Tim de Lisle in Lives of the Great Songs , who remarks that the lyrics concern a drunken seduction , which is described through references to sex as a form of travel , usually nautical , using mythical and literary journeys . Other observers have also commented that the lyrics concern a sexual relationship . Contrary to the above interpretations , Reid was quoted in the February 2008 issue of Uncut magazine as saying : I was trying to conjure a mood as much as tell a straightforward , girl - leaves - boy story . With the ceiling flying away and room humming harder , I wanted to paint an image of a scene . I was n't trying to be mysterious with those images , I was trying to be evocative . I suppose it seems like a decadent scene I 'm describing . But I was too young to have experienced any decadence , then . I might have been smoking when I conceived it , but not when I wrote . It was influenced by books , not drugs . Structurally and thematically , the song is unusual in many respects . While the recorded version is 4 : 03 long , it is composed of only two verses , each with chorus . The piece is also more instrument - driven than most songs of the period , and with a much looser rhyme scheme . Its unusually allusive and referential lyrics are much more complex than most lyrics of the time ( for example , the chorus focuses on Chaucer 's `` The Miller 's Tale '' ) . Thus , this piece can be considered an early example of progressive rock . The phrase a whiter shade of pale has since gained widespread use in the English language , noticed by several dictionaries . As such , the phrase is today often used in contexts independent of any consideration of the song . It has also been heavily paraphrased , in forms like `` an Xer shade of Y '' , to the extent that it has been recognised as a snowclone -- a type of cliché and phrasal template . Composition ( edit ) The song 's distinctive , Bach - inspired organ part was played on a Hammond M102 . The song is in moderate time in C major and is characterised by the bassline moving stepwise downwards in a repeated pattern throughout . In classical music this is known as a ground bass . The harmonic structure is identical for the organ melody , the verse and the chorus , except that the chorus finishes with a cadence . The main organ melody appears at the beginning and after each verse / chorus . But it is also heard throughout , playing variations of its theme and counterpointing the vocal line . As the chorus commences `` And so it was , and later ... '' , the vocal and organ accompaniment begin a short crescendo , with the organist running his finger rapidly down and up the entire keyboard . The final instrumental fades out to silence -- a common device in pop music of the time . Dutch author , and Bach aficionado , Maarten ' t Hart calls `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' an `` original adaptation '' of Johann Sebastian Bach 's Ich steh mit einem Fuß im Grabe , BWV 156 . Besides , the Hammond organ line of the song came from Bach 's `` Sleepers , Wake ! '' and `` Air on the G String '' , both of which use a similar stepwise bass motion . The similarity is referred to in the 1982 play The Real Thing by Tom Stoppard and 1991 film The Commitments . A yet closer melodic influence that is seldom cited can arguably be found in the organ choral prelude `` O Mensch bewein dein ' Sünde groß '' ( O Man , Lament Your Sin So Great ) , BWV 622 , from Bach 's Orgelbüchlein ( Little Organ Book ) . The music also borrows ideas from `` When a Man Loves a Woman '' by Percy Sledge . Release and reception ( edit ) The single was released on 12 May 1967 in the United Kingdom by Deram Records and entered Record Retailer 's chart ( later the UK Singles Chart ) on 25 May . In two weeks it reached number 1 , where it stayed for six weeks . Writing in 2005 , Jim Irvin of Mojo said that its arrival at number 1 on 8 June 1967 , on the same day that the Beatles ' Sgt . Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band topped the national albums chart , marked the start of the Summer of Love in Britain . According to music journalist and author Harvey Kubernik , in the context of the Summer of Love , `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' was the `` one song ( that ) stood above all others , its Everest - like status conferred by no less than John Lennon and Paul McCartney , who were enthralled by the Chaucerian wordplay and heavenly Baroque accompaniment '' . Kubernik also writes that , amid the search for higher consciousness during the flower power era , the song `` galvanised a congregation of disaffected youth dismissive of traditional religion but anxious to achieve spiritual salvation '' . In the United States , the single reached number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over 1 million copies . It also peaked at number 22 on the soul charts there . In the Netherlands , the song entered the chart at number 1 in June 1967 and again reached number 1 in July 1972 . A May 1972 re-release on Fly Records stayed in the UK charts for a total of 12 weeks and peaked at number 13 . `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' has continued to receive critical acclaim . Along with Queen 's `` Bohemian Rhapsody '' , `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' was jointly recognised as `` The Best British Pop Single 1952 -- 1977 '' at the BRIT Awards , part of Elizabeth II 's Silver Jubilee . In 1998 the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame . In 2004 , it appeared at number 57 on Rolling Stone magazine 's list of the `` 500 Greatest Songs of All Time '' . British TV station Channel 4 placed the song at number 19 in its chart of `` The 100 Greatest No. 1 Singles '' . Promotional films ( edit ) One of the clips for the song was filmed at Witley Court , part of which was gutted by fire in 1937 . The first promotional clip for `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' was shot in the ruins of Witley Court in Worcestershire , England . It features four of the five musicians who played on the hit single : Gary Brooker , Matthew Fisher , David Knights and Ray Royer , in performance and walking through the ruins . Only the drummer in the video is n't on the record : early band member Bobby Harrison is seen miming to session man Bill Eyden 's drumming . The film was directed by Peter Clifton , whose insertion of Vietnam War newsreel footage caused it to be banned from airplay on the BBC 's Top of the Pops TV show . Procol Harum subsequently made a second promotional clip , using `` Scopitone '' technology . By this time , Robin Trower and B.J. Wilson had replaced Royer and Harrison in the band , so only three of the five musicians on the recording are represented . No performance footage appears in this film -- only scenes of the five musicians cavorting around London and running across fields . The same lineup , with Fisher wearing a monk 's cowl , mimed to the song on Top of the Pops , although Brooker sang live . Black - and - white footage of the performance has been shown online . The song represents 1967 in the 2004 release Top of the Pops 40th Anniversary 1964 -- 2004 DVD . There was also a film shot as part of Joel Gallen 's Deja - View music video series . Originally airing on various networks in late 1985 through 1986 , this video starred Harry Dean Stanton and Bernie Taupin , but featured no member of the band . It has also aired on VH1 Classic , and has recently surfaced online . Authorship lawsuit ( edit ) In 2005 , former Procol Harum organist Matthew Fisher filed suit in the High Court against Gary Brooker and his publisher , claiming that he co-wrote the music for the song . Fisher won the case on 20 December 2006 but was awarded 40 % of the composers ' share of the music copyright , rather than the 50 % he was seeking and was not granted royalties for the period before 2005 . Brooker and publisher Onward Music were granted leave to appeal , and a hearing on the matter was held before a panel of three judges during the week of 1 October 2007 . The decision , on 4 April 2008 , by Lord Justice Mummery , in the Court of Appeal upheld Fisher 's co-authorship but ruled that he should receive no royalties as he had taken too long ( 38 years ) to bring his claim to litigation . Full royalty rights were returned to Brooker . On 5 November 2008 , Fisher was granted permission to appeal this decision to the House of Lords . Lawyers say it is the first time the Law Lords have been asked to rule on a copyright dispute involving a song . The appeal was heard in the House of Lords on 22 -- 23 April 2009 . On 30 July 2009 the Law Lords unanimously ruled in Fisher 's favour . They noted that the delay in bringing the case had not caused any harm to the other party ; on the contrary he had benefited financially from it . They also pointed out that there were no time limits to copyright claims under English law . The right to future royalties was therefore returned to Fisher . The musicological basis of the judgment , and its effect on the rights of musicians who contribute composition to future works , has drawn some attention in the music world .

( November 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Every episode of Love It or List It follows the same formula . A couple ( usually , but not in all cases ) presents their living situation in the current house that they own . In most episodes , the couple is split on whether or not they want to stay in the house . Interior designer Hilary Farr and real estate agent David Visentin tour the couple 's home before meeting with them . The tour usually consists of David finding mostly negative things to say about the residence while Hilary is convinced that she can work magic with whatever plans she is given . At the meetup between the couple and the hosts of the show , both Hilary and David are briefed as to what the couple 's desires are . Hilary is given a list of renovations the couple wants for the current house and her budget for the entire project . David , meanwhile , is tasked with searching for a new home for the couple that both meets their needs and stays within their desired budget . Common challenges faced by Hilary are an inadequate budget to complete the entire request list from the homeowners , often due to discovery of unforeseen issues with the house that are uncovered during the renovation such as lack of compliance with modern building codes . Common issues for David , meanwhile , depend on the homeowners ' desires ; for instance , the couple has children enrolled in the neighborhood school and they do not desire to change , or the potential house is too distant from family members or a workplace . After Hilary 's renovation is complete , the homeowners are given a tour of their current home to see what she was able to accomplish . After the tour , David meets with them and hands them an evaluation of the home 's current market value following the renovations . He will then remind the couple what they could have in one of the new homes they looked at and that they would not get that in their current home . After a moment to deliberate , Hilary and David pose a question to the homeowners . They must choose to either Love It , meaning that they will continue to live in their current home with the renovations , or to List It , meaning that they will buy one of the homes David showed them and sell their current home . After they reveal their decision , the homeowners explain their reasoning to Hilary and David ( who , if they decided to Love It , reacts with incredulity ) before bidding them farewell .

According to the Wall Street Journal , the show and its Vancouver spinoff is one of Canada 's beloved reality series . Controversy ( edit ) In April 2016 , homeowners Deanna Murphy and Tim Sullivan who had participated in a 2015 Love It or List It episode filed suit against production company Big Coat TV , as well as the North Carolina contractor ( Aaron Fitz Construction ) who had been hired by the show to do the renovations on their home . The couple alleges that the renovation funds that they provided were not properly disbursed , and that the work on their home was done to a substandard quality . Moreover , the lawsuit states that the television personalities on the show do not play an active role in the renovation process , and that they were not shown homes on the market by any licensed North Carolina real estate agent . Big Coat TV has commented that they `` do intend to vigorously defend what ( they ) consider to be false allegations . '' The suit was settled in April 2017 . The plaintiffs had signed a confidentiality agreement ; their lawyer would not comment on the settlement . Big Coat had previously filed a countersuit for libel , slander and product disparagement ; parts of that suit had been dismissed by the time of the settlement but that was under appeal by Big Coat . After the agreements had been concluded , both suits were dismissed . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ http://www.bigcoatproductions.com/blog/post/love-it-or-list-it-is-on-the-move-to-the-us .

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 .

when did the song all by myself come out

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 .

Alex sets the game aside , asking himself , `` Who plays board games anymore ? '' That night , the game , taking advantage of Alex 's interest in video games , magically transforms into a video game cartridge which catches Alex 's attention when he is awakened by the Jumanji drums . As he plays it , he is teleported into the game . Twenty years later in 2016 , four students in Brantford High School are placed in detention together : Spencer Gilpin , who was caught writing an essay for his former friend , Anthony `` Fridge '' Johnson , who is there for the same reason and has been kicked off the football team ; Bethany Walker , who made a video call during an English class quiz and barely missed talking her way out of it ; and Martha Kaply , who refused to participate in P.E. class and accidentally insulted her instructor . Their principal punishes them by sending them to the school basement to prepare magazines for recycling , as an opportunity for them to think about their future . Upon exploring the basement , Fridge discovers Alex 's discarded video game system with the Jumanji cartridge ; Spencer and Fridge set up the game out of curiosity . The game presents five possible playable characters , but the first one is unable to be selected . Spencer and Fridge end up selecting two of the remaining characters , and the girls are also persuaded to choose their own characters . When Spencer hits `` Start '' , the four are sucked into the game . They find themselves in a jungle , each now in the forms of their game avatars . Spencer is a tough , muscular explorer and archaeologist named Dr. Smolder Bravestone ; Fridge is a diminutive zoologist named Franklin `` Mouse '' Finbar , whom he had selected upon misreading the name as `` Moose '' ( it later causes tension as Fridge 's character is designed as a valet for Spencer 's ) ; Bethany is an overweight male cartographer and intellectual named Professor Sheldon `` Shelly '' Oberon , whose nickname she mistook for a woman 's ; and Martha is a gorgeous commando and martial arts expert named Ruby Roundhouse . They soon realize that they each have three lives , and Spencer speculates that if they lose all three , they die for real . Each of them also has special skills and weaknesses . They learn the game 's story from Nigel , an NPC guide : power - corrupted Professor Russel Van Pelt stole the `` Jaguar 's Eye '' , a magical jewel , cursing the land of Jumanji . Nigel escaped from Van Pelt with the jewel , and the players must now return it to its proper place in the eye socket of an enormous jaguar statue and call out `` Jumanji '' ( possibly the only remnant of Jumanji 's board game origins ) to lift the curse . Before departing , Nigel warns them that Van Pelt will stop at nothing to retrieve the jewel , which gives him control over Jumanji 's animals . The group begins to tackle the game 's increasingly difficult `` levels '' , losing lives periodically as they do so . When the group is cornered by Van Pelt 's men at a bazaar , they are rescued by Alex , the missing fifth player , whose avatar is a pilot named Jefferson `` Seaplane '' McDonough . Having taken shelter in a jungle house built by Alan Parrish , Alex believes that he has only been gone for three months , and is distressed to learn of his twenty years of absence . The newcomers vow to help him return home . Working together , the group breaks into a transportation shed , commandeering a helicopter to fly to the jaguar statue and return the jewel , but Fridge accidentally drops the jewel into a herd of white rhinoceros . Spencer sacrifices one of Fridge 's lives by pushing him out of the helicopter as a distraction , and manages to secure the jewel . Upon landing , Alex loses his last life when a mosquito bites him , but Bethany performs CPR and saves him by transferring one of her lives to him . Arriving at the statue , the players find themselves facing a pack of jaguars on one side and Van Pelt 's forces on the other . Using their resources and teamwork , the players outmaneuver their opposition while Spencer and Martha race to the statue . Van Pelt confronts Martha , trapped in a pit of venomous snakes , and demands the jewel , but she sacrifices one of her lives to respawn strategically to get the jewel to Spencer . With all players on their last life , they end the game ( with Van Pelt disintegrating into a crowd of rats ) , and return to the real world ( courtesy of shaking hands with Nigel , who gives them fond farewells ) , though Alex does not appear with them . On their way to the Vreeke household ( formerly the dilapidated home of Alex 's father , `` Old Man '' Vreeke ) , they discover it to be restored and decorated for a Christmas family gathering . An adult Alex arrives , having returned to where he left off in 1996 and changing the course of history . He is now married with children and named his eldest daughter after Bethany out of gratitude for saving his life . He also introduces the four to his infant son Andy . Spencer and Fridge reconcile , Bethany evolves to care for others than herself and makes plans for a summer backpacking adventure , Martha and Spencer become romantically involved ( the end of the film sees them sharing a kiss ) , and the teens are now friends after their experiences in the game . The four hear Jumanji 's drumbeats and take the game behind the school where Fridge destroys it with a bowling ball they found in detention to prevent anyone from playing it again . Cast ( edit ) Alex Wolff as Spencer Gilpin , a nerdy gamer at Brantford High School who goes to detention with Fridge , Martha , and Bethany , for writing Fridge 's homework for him . Spencer is panphobic ; he fears everything or nothing . His experience as Smolder Bravestone helps him cope with his anxiety and becomes assertive . He later becomes Martha 's love interest . He is credited as `` Young Spencer '' . Dwayne Johnson as Dr. Smolder Bravestone , an archaeologist and explorer who is Spencer 's avatar . Bravestone 's strengths are stamina , courage , reflexes , climbing , smoldering intensity , and boomerang throwing . Being the archetypically masculine , intelligent , and courageous video game hero of the story , he apparently has no weaknesses . He is credited as `` Spencer '' . Madison Iseman as Bethany Walker , a pretty and popular yet narcissistic and self - centered teenage girl at Brantford High School who goes to detention with Spencer , Fridge , and Martha , after talking on her phone during a quiz and displaying an arrogant contempt towards her class in the process . Her experience in the game changes her for the better , becoming apathetic with her smartphone , friendly , and seeks exciting interests . She is credited as `` Young Bethany '' . Jack Black as Professor Sheldon `` Shelly '' Oberon , a cartographer , cryptographer , archaeologist and paleontologist who is Bethany 's avatar after mistaking the character 's presented name ( `` Shelly '' ) for that of a woman and calling him , `` the curvy genius . '' Because of his state of being as an `` overweight , middle - aged man '' , Oberon lacks endurance . He / she is credited as `` Bethany '' . Ser'Darius Blain as Anthony `` Fridge '' Johnson , a Brantford High School football jock who lacks confidence to succeed academically , namely because he cares more with dating than studying . He is kicked off the football team and sent to detention for having Spencer write his essays for him ; he is the one who discovers the Jumanji video game , as well as the bowling ball he uses to destroy it . Because of his avatar is highly intelligent , Fridge gains confidence from being Finbar to succeed intellectually . He is credited as `` Young Fridge '' . Kevin Hart as Franklin `` Mouse '' Finbar , a zoologist and weapons specialist whom Fridge chose as his avatar due to the character 's nickname being misread as `` Moose '' due to the game 's font . Finbar 's status as weapons specialist makes him Bravestone 's weapon valet , having everything Bravestone needs in his signature backpack . He earns the nickname `` Mouse '' from his short stature ; though this degrades his speed and strength , Fridge uses the nickname to his advantage to rendezvous with the others in the climax on the back of an elephant that was charging at him earlier . Cake makes him explode , losing a life . In better comparison to Oberon rather than Fridge , despite his size , Finbar is intelligent with his strengths as his fields of expertise . He is credited as `` Fridge '' . Morgan Turner as Martha Kaply , a teenage girl at Brantford High School who goes to detention with Spencer , Fridge , and Bethany , for objecting to physical education class and disregarding her teacher . She later becomes Spencer 's love - interest and gains appreciation with physical fitness after her experience as Ruby Roundhouse . She is credited as `` Young Martha '' . Karen Gillan as Ruby Roundhouse , a commando , martial artist , and dance fighter who is Martha 's avatar ( after Martha was peer - pressured into playing with the others ) . Roundhouse is proficient in karate , t'ai chi , aikido and dance fighting and is reputed as `` killer of men '' because of both her skills and attractiveness . Similar to Bravestone , Roundhouse is the archetypically intelligent , athletic , beautiful , and scantily clad video game heroine of the story , with her only weakness being venom , such as that found in various animals and vegetation in the game . She is credited as `` Martha '' . Mason Guccione as Alex Vreeke , a teenage boy who played , and was trapped inside , the Jumanji video game for 20 years . He is credited as `` Young Alex '' . Colin Hanks portrays adult Alex Vreeke after he returns to 1996 and appears 20 years later , changing history as a result . Out of gratitude for Bethany saving his life , he named his eldest daughter after her . Nick Jonas as Jefferson `` Seaplane '' McDonough , Alex Vreeke 's avatar . McDonough is a mysterious guide , adventurer , and pilot in the game , who waits for and joins the other avatars as they attempt to escape Jumanji . McDonough 's strengths are piloting and making margaritas that `` Mouse '' / `` Fridge '' takes a liking to . His only weakness is mosquito bites , which is bad for him and all the more ironic since the jungle , being a tropical one , is teeming with mosquitoes . He is credited as `` Alex '' . During his twenty - year absence , only a few months have passed for him in the game world ; and in the meantime , he lives in a treehouse built and once occupied by Alan Parrish ( portrayed by Robin Williams and Adam Hann - Byrd in the 1995 film Jumanji ) . Jumanji ( edit ) Bobby Cannavale as Professor Russel Van Pelt , a corrupt explorer once partnered with Dr. Smolder Bravestone , seeking to control the `` Jaguar 's Eye '' , whose power he is demonically possessed by . Despite being the `` boss '' of the film 's video game scenario , he is more relatable to classic kingpin villains ; still , Jonathan Hyde played a different variant of the character in the original film . NPCs in the game include : Rhys Darby as Nigel Billingsley , the main NPC guide in the game . William Tokarsky as an NPC food trader at the place of his name in the credits : Bread / Cake vendor . Rohan Chand as the boy at Bazaar , a young NPC guide who leads Spencer , Fridge , Martha , and Bethany to the black mamba 's basket , which has the next clue . Reality ( edit ) Marc Evan Jackson as Principal Bentley , the principal who makes Spencer , Bethany , Fridge , and Martha clean up the basement as part of their detention . Sean Buxton as Alex 's Father / Jogger , who discovered the Jumanji game Tim Matheson as Older Alex 's Father ( Old Man Vreeke , uncredited ) ; his dialogues in the beginning of the film implies that he had witnessed his son being teleported to the game and was traumatized since . After Alex 's return to 1996 alters history , he is shown to be a happy family man and grandfather . Maribeth Monroe as Bethany Walker 's English teacher Missi Pyle as Coach Webb , Martha Kaply 's physical education ( PE ) instructor Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) In July 2012 , rumors emerged that a remake of the film Jumanji was being developed . In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter , Columbia Pictures president Doug Belgrad said : `` We 're going to try and reimagine Jumanji and update it for the present . '' On August 1 , 2012 , it was confirmed that Matthew Tolmach would produce the new version , alongside William Teitler , who produced the original film . In August 2015 , Sony Pictures Entertainment announced that they had scheduled the film for a December 25 , 2016 release . Internet reception to this was negative , with some posters remarking that the announcement came too soon after the death of Robin Williams , who portrayed Alan Parrish from the original film , and had died in August 2014 . The news was heavily criticized by Bradley Pierce , who played Peter Shepherd in the original Jumanji , as well as by E ! News , which stated that they felt that the remake was `` unnecessary and kind of insulting '' . On October 23 , 2015 , Scott Rosenberg was hired to rewrite the script for the film , whose production was a high priority for the studio . On January 14 , 2016 , Deadline reported that Jake Kasdan had been hired to direct , from a script by Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner , based on a draft by original writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers . On April 15 , 2016 , Variety reported that Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart were in early talks to star in the film , though both actors had other projects to shoot , which might have created schedule conflicts . Later in April , Johnson confirmed his casting through his Instagram account .

David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a `` C '' and called it unnecessary but mildly amusing : `` Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle is further proof that even the stalest whiff of brand recognition has become preferable to originality . Only part of the blame for that belongs to the studios but after cannibalizing themselves for much of the last 20 years , Hollywood has clearly eaten their way down to the crumbs '' . Writing for Variety , Owen Gleiberman was critical of the film saying `` Excitement ! Suspense ! Childlike innocence ! Ingeniously staged action set pieces ! These are a few of the things you will not find , anywhere , in Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle ... It 's supposed to be a board game come to life but really , it 's just a bored game '' .

are there snakes in the new jumanji 2017

Arriving at the statue , the players find themselves facing a pack of jaguars on one side and Van Pelt 's forces on the other . Using their resources and teamwork , the players outmaneuver their opposition while Spencer and Martha race to the statue . Van Pelt confronts Martha , trapped in a pit of venomous snakes , and demands the jewel , but she sacrifices one of her lives to respawn strategically to get the jewel to Spencer . With all players on their last life , they end the game ( with Van Pelt disintegrating into a crowd of rats ) , and return to the real world ( courtesy of shaking hands with Nigel , who gives them fond farewells ) , though Alex does not appear with them . On their way to the Vreeke household ( formerly the dilapidated home of Alex 's father , `` Old Man '' Vreeke ) , they discover it to be restored and decorated for a Christmas family gathering . An adult Alex arrives , having returned to where he left off in 1996 and changing the course of history . He is now married with children and named his eldest daughter after Bethany out of gratitude for saving his life . He also introduces the four to his infant son Andy .

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 . Contents 1 Globalization 1.1 Continental regions 1.2 Regional geography 2 Human geography 2.1 Historical regions 2.2 Tourism region 2.3 Natural resource regions 2.4 Religious regions 2.5 Political regions 2.6 Administrative regions 2.6. 1 Local administrative regions 2.7 Traditional or informal regions 2.8 Functional regions 2.9 Military regions 2.10 Media geography 3 See also 4 Notes 5 References 6 External links Globalization ( edit ) Global regions distinguishable from space , and are therefore clearly distinguished by the two basic terrestrial environments , land and water . 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 .

what is the meaning of region in english

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 .

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 - 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 .

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 Fuentes - wikipedia Amado Carrillo Fuentes Amado Carrillo Amado Carrillo Fuentes Amado Carrillo Fuentes December 17 , 1956 Guamuchilito , Sinaloa , Mexico July 4 , 1997 ( 1997 - 07 - 04 ) ( aged 40 ) Mexico City , Mexico Other names El Señor de los Cielos Occupation Drug lord Employer Head of Juárez Cartel Known for Drug trafficking and weapons Net worth U.S $25 billion Predecessor Rafael Aguilar Guajardo Successor Vicente Carrillo Fuentes Spouse ( s ) Candaleria Leyva Cardenas Children Vicente Carrillo Leyva Relatives Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo Rodolfo Carrillo Fuentes Cipriano Carrillo Fuentes Vicente Carrillo Fuentes Rosa Carrillo Carrillo Jose Cruz Carrillo Fuentes Alberto Carrillo Fuentes Rodolfo Carrillo Fuentes Aurora Fuentes López Amado Carrillo Fuentes ( / fuˈɛntəs / ; December 17 , 1956 -- July 4 , 1997 ) was a Mexican drug lord who seized control of the Juárez Cartel after assassinating his boss Rafael Aguilar Guajardo . 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 . Contents 1 Family relations and alliances 2 Career 3 Death 4 Juárez Cartel after Carrillo 5 Funeral 6 Media portrayals 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Family relations and alliances ( edit ) Carrillo was born to Walter Vicente Carrillo Vega and Aurora Fuentes in Guamuchilito , Navolato , Sinaloa , Mexico . 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 .

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 .

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 .

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 .

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 .

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 .

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 .

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 '' .

Flag of India - wikipedia Flag of India `` Tiranga '' redirects here . For the Bollywood film , see Tirangaa . India Name Tiraṅgā ( meaning `` Tricolour '' ) Use National flag Proportion 2 : 3 Adopted 22 July 1947 ; 71 years ago ( 1947 - 07 - 22 ) Design A horizontal triband of India saffron , white , and India green ; charged with a navy blue wheel with 24 spokes in the centre Designed by Pingali Venkayya The National Flag of India is a horizontal rectangular tricolour of India saffron , white and India green ; with the Ashoka Chakra , a 24 - spoke wheel , in navy blue at its centre . It was adopted in its present form during a meeting of the Constituent Assembly held on 22 July 1947 , and it became the official flag of the Dominion of India on 15 August 1947 . The flag was subsequently retained as that of the Republic of India . In India , the term `` tricolour '' ( Hindi : तिरंगा , translit . Tiraṅgā ) almost always refers to the Indian national flag . The flag is based on the Swaraj flag , a flag of the Indian National Congress designed by Pingali Venkayya . By law , the flag is to be made of khadi , a special type of hand - spun cloth or silk , made popular by Mahatma Gandhi . The manufacturing process and specifications for the flag are laid out by the Bureau of Indian Standards . The right to manufacture the flag is held by the Khadi Development and Village Industries Commission , who allocates it to regional groups . As of 2009 , the Karnataka Khadi Gramodyoga Samyukta Sangha has been the sole manufacturer of the flag . Usage of the flag is governed by the Flag Code of India and other laws relating to the national emblems . The original code prohibited use of the flag by private citizens except on national days such as the Independence day and the Republic Day . In 2002 , on hearing an appeal from a private citizen , Naveen Jindal , the Supreme Court of India directed the Government of India to amend the code to allow flag usage by private citizens . Subsequently , the Union Cabinet of India amended the code to allow limited usage . The code was amended once more in 2005 to allow some additional use including adaptations on certain forms of clothing . The flag code also governs the protocol of flying the flag and its use in conjunction with other national and non-national flags .

All three stripes of the flag ( saffron , white and green ) are to be equal in width and length . The size of the Ashoka Chakra is not specified in the Flag code , but it has twenty - four spokes that are evenly spaced . In section 4.3. 1 of `` IS1 : Manufacturing standards for the Indian Flag '' , there is a chart that details the size of the Ashoka Chakra on the nine specific sizes of the national flag . In both the Flag code and IS1 , they call for the Ashoka Chakra to be printed or painted on both sides of the flag in navy blue . Below is the list of specified shades for all colours used on the national flag , with the exception of Navy Blue , from `` IS1 : Manufacturing standards for the Indian Flag '' as defined in the 1931 CIE Colour Specifications with illuminant C.

Pantone values closest to this are 130 U , White , 2258 C and 2735 C . Symbolism Flag of India , New Delhi Gandhi first proposed a flag to the Indian National Congress in 1921 . The flag was designed by Pingali Venkayya . In the centre was a traditional spinning wheel , symbolising Gandhi 's goal of making Indians self - reliant by fabricating their own clothing . The design was then modified to include a white stripe in the centre for other religious communities , and provide a background for the spinning wheel . Subsequently , to avoid sectarian associations with the colour scheme , saffron , white and green were chosen for the three bands , representing courage and sacrifice , peace and truth , and faith and chivalry respectively . A few days before India became independent on 15 August 1947 , the specially constituted Constituent Assembly decided that the flag of India must be acceptable to all parties and communities . A modified version of the Swaraj flag was chosen ; the tricolour remained the same saffron , white and green . However , the charkha was replaced by the Ashoka Chakra representing the eternal wheel of law . The philosopher Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan , who later became India 's first Vice President and second President , clarified the adopted flag and described its significance as follows : `` Bhagwa or the Saffron denotes renunciation or disinterestedness . Our leaders must be indifferent to material gains and dedicate themselves to their work . The white in the centre is light , the path of truth to guide our conduct . The green shows our relation to ( the ) soil , our relation to the plant life here , on which all other life depends . The `` Ashoka Chakra '' in the centre of the white is the wheel of the law of dharma . Truth or satya , dharma or virtue ought to be the controlling principle of those who work under this flag . Again , the wheel denotes motion . There is death in stagnation . There is life in movement . India should no more resist change , it must move and go forward . The wheel represents the dynamism of a peaceful change . '' History A number of flags with varying designs were used in the period preceding the Indian Independence Movement by the rulers of different princely states ; the idea of a single Indian flag was first raised by the British rulers of India after the rebellion of 1857 , which resulted in the establishment of direct imperial rule . The first flag , whose design was based on western heraldic standards , were similar to the flags of other British colonies , including Canada and Australia ; its blue field included the Union Flag in the upper - left quadrant and a Star of India capped by the royal crown in the middle of the right half . To address the question of how the star conveyed `` Indianness '' , Queen Victoria created the Knight Commander of the Order of the Star of India to honour services to the empire by her Indian subjects . Subsequently , all the Indian princely states received flags with symbols based on the heraldic criteria of Europe including the right to fly defaced British red ensigns . Flag of British India , 1880 -- 1947 In the early twentieth century , around the coronation of Edward VII , a discussion started on the need for a heraldic symbol that was representative of the Indian empire . William Coldstream , a British member of the Indian Civil Service , campaigned the government to change the heraldic symbol from a star , which he considered to be a common choice , to something more appropriate . His proposal was not well received by the government ; Lord Curzon rejected it for practical reasons including the multiplication of flags . Around this time , nationalist opinion within the realm was leading to a representation through religious tradition . The symbols that were in vogue included the Ganesha , advocated by Bal Gangadhar Tilak , and Kali , advocated by Aurobindo Ghosh and Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay . Another symbol was the cow , or Gau Mata ( cow mother ) . However , all these symbols were Hindu - centric and did not suggest unity with India 's Muslim population . Based on the Calcutta Flag , design of the `` Flag of Indian Independence '' raised by Bhikaji Cama on 22 August 1907 , at the International Socialist Conference in Stuttgart , Germany . The partition of Bengal ( 1905 ) resulted in the introduction of a new flag representing the Indian independence movement that sought to unite the multitude of castes and races within the country . The Vande Mataram flag , part of the Swadeshi movement against the British , comprised Indian religious symbols represented in western heraldic fashion . The tricolour flag included eight white lotuses on the upper green band representing the eight provinces , a sun and a crescent on the bottom red band , and the Vande Mataram slogan in Hindi on the central yellow band . The flag was launched in Calcutta bereft of any ceremony and the launch was only briefly covered by newspapers . The flag was not covered in contemporary governmental or political reports either , but was used at the annual session of the Indian National Congress . A slightly modified version was subsequently used by Madam Bhikaji Cama at the second International Socialist Congress in Stuttgart in 1907 . Despite the multiple uses of the flag , it failed to generate enthusiasm amongst Indian nationalists . Around the same time , another proposal for the flag was initiated by Sister Nivedita , a Hindu reformist and disciple of Swami Vivekananda . The flag consisted of a thunderbolt in the centre and a hundred and eight oil lamps for the border , with the Vande Mataram caption split around the thunderbolt . It was also presented at the Indian National Congress meeting in 1906 . Soon , many other proposals were initiated , but none of them gained attention from the nationalist movement . In 1909 , Lord Ampthill , former Governor of the Madras Presidency , wrote to The Times of London in the run up to Empire Day pointing out that there existed `` no flag representative of India as a whole or any Indian province ... Surely this is strange , seeing that but for India there would be no Empire . '' In 1916 , Pingali Venkayya submitted thirty new designs , in the form of a booklet funded by members of the High Court of Madras . These many proposals and recommendations did little more than keep the flag movement alive . The same year , Annie Besant and Bal Gangadhar Tilak adopted a new flag as part of the Home Rule Movement . The flag included the Union Jack in the upper left corner , a star and crescent in the upper right , and seven stars displayed diagonally from the lower right , on a background of five red and four green alternating bands . The flag resulted in the first governmental initiative against any nationalistic flag , as a magistrate in Coimbatore banned its use . The ban was followed by a public debate on the function and importance of a national flag . In the early 1920s , national flag discussions gained prominence across most British dominions following the peace treaty between Britain and Ireland . In November 1920 , the Indian delegation to the League of Nations wanted to use an Indian flag , and this prompted the British Indian government to place renewed emphasis on the flag as a national symbol . Gandhi 's Flag , introduced at the Congress meeting in 1921 In April 1921 , Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi wrote in his journal Young India about the need for an Indian flag , proposing a flag with the charkha or spinning wheel at the centre . The idea of the spinning wheel was put forth by Lala Hansraj , and Gandhi commissioned Pingali Venkayya to design a flag with the spinning wheel on a red and green banner , the red colour signifying Hindus and the green standing for Muslims . Gandhi wanted the flag to be presented at the Congress session of 1921 , but it was not delivered on time , and another flag was proposed at the session . Gandhi later wrote that the delay was fortuitous since it allowed him to realise that other religions were not represented ; he then added white to the banner colours , to represent all the other religions . Finally , owing to the religious - political sensibilities , in 1929 , Gandhi moved towards a more secular interpretation of the flag colours , stating that red stood for the sacrifices of the people , white for purity , and green for hope . On 13 April 1923 , during a procession by local Congress volunteers in Nagpur commemorating the Jallianwala Bagh massacre , the Swaraj flag with the spinning wheel , designed by Pingali Venkayya , was hoisted . This event resulted in a confrontation between the Congressmen and the police , after which five people were imprisoned . Over a hundred other protesters continued the flag procession after a meeting . Subsequently , on the first of May , Jamnalal Bajaj , the secretary of the Nagpur Congress Committee , started the Flag Satyagraha , gaining national attention and marking a significant point in the flag movement . The satyagraha , promoted nationally by the Congress , started creating cracks within the organisation in which the Gandhians were highly enthused while the other group , the Swarajists , called it inconsequential . Finally , at the All India Congress Committee meeting in July , 1923 , at the insistence of Jawaharlal Nehru and Sarojini Naidu , Congress closed ranks and the flag movement was endorsed . The flag movement was managed by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel with the idea of public processions and flag displays by common people . By the end of the movement , over 1500 people had been arrested across all of British India . The Bombay Chronicle reported that the movement drew from diverse groups of society including farmers , students , merchants , labourers and `` national servants '' . While Muslim participation was moderate , the movement enthused women , who had hitherto rarely participated in the independence movement . While the flag agitation got its impetus from Gandhi 's writings and discourses , the movement received political acceptance following the Nagpur incident . News reports , editorials and letters to editors published in various journals and newspapers of the time attest to the subsequent development of a bond between the flag and the nation . Soon , the concept of preserving the honour of the national flag became an integral component of the independence struggle . While Muslims were still wary of the Swaraj flag , it gained acceptance among Muslim leaders of the Congress and the Khilafat Movement as the national flag . The Swaraj Flag , officially adopted by the Indian National Congress in 1931 Detractors of the flag movement , including Motilal Nehru , soon hailed the Swaraj flag as a symbol of national unity . Thus , the flag became a significant structural component of the institution of India . In contrast to the subdued responses of the past , the British Indian government took greater cognisance of the new flag , and began to define a policy of response . The British parliament discussed public use of the flag , and based on directives from England , the British Indian government threatened to withdraw funds from municipalities and local governments that did not prevent the display of the Swaraj flag . The Swaraj flag became the official flag of Congress at the 1931 meeting . However , by then , the flag had already become the symbol of the independence movement . A few days before India gained its independence in August 1947 , the Constituent Assembly was formed . To select a flag for independent India , on 23 June 1947 , the assembly set up an ad hoc committee headed by Rajendra Prasad and including Maulana Abul Kalam Azad , Sarojini Naidu , C. Rajagopalachari , K.M. Munshi and B.R. Ambedkar as its members . Indian Flag , the first stamp of independent India , released on 21 Nov 1947 , was meant for foreign correspondence . On 14 July 1947 , the committee recommended that the flag of the Indian National Congress be adopted as the National Flag of India with suitable modifications , so as to make it acceptable to all parties and communities . It was also resolved that the flag should not have any communal undertones . The spinning wheel of the Congress flag was replaced by the Chakra ( wheel ) from the Lion Capital of Ashoka . According to Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan , the chakra was chosen as it was representative of dharma and law . However , Jawaharlal Nehru explained that the change was more practical in nature , as unlike the flag with the spinning wheel , this design would appear symmetrical . Gandhi was not very pleased by the change , but eventually came around to accepting it . The flag was proposed by Nehru at the Constituent Assembly on 22 July 1947 as a horizontal tricolour of deep saffron , white and dark green in equal proportions , with the Ashoka wheel in blue in the centre of the white band . Nehru also presented two flags , one in Khadi - silk and the other in Khadi - cotton , to the assembly . The resolution was approved unanimously . It served as the national flag of the Dominion of India between 15 August 1947 and 26 January 1950 , and has served as the flag of the Republic of India since then . Manufacturing process A header of an Indian flag ( size 6 , date 2007 / 2008 ) certified by the ISI The design and manufacturing process for the national flag is regulated by three documents issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards ( BIS ) . All of the flags are made out of khadi cloth of silk or cotton . The standards were created in 1968 and were updated in 2008 . Nine standard sizes of the flag are specified by law . In 1951 , after India became a republic , the Indian Standards Institute ( now the BIS ) brought out the first official specifications for the flag . These were revised in 1964 to conform to the metric system which was adopted in India . The specifications were further amended on 17 August 1968 . The specifications cover all the essential requirements of the manufacture of the Indian flag including sizes , dye colour , chromatic values , brightness , thread count and hemp cordage . The guidelines are covered under civil and criminal laws and defects in the manufacturing process can result in punishments that include fines or jail terms . Khadi or hand - spun cloth is the only material allowed to be used for the flag , and flying a flag made of any other material is punishable by law with imprisonment up to three years , besides a fine . Raw materials for khadi are restricted to cotton , silk and wool . There are two kinds of khadi used : The first is the khadi - bunting which makes up the body of the flag , and the second is the khadi - duck , which is a beige - coloured cloth that holds the flag to the pole . The khadi - duck is an unconventional type of weave that meshes three threads into a weave , compared to the two threads used in conventional weaving . This type of weaving is extremely rare , and there are fewer than twenty weavers in India professing this skill . The guidelines also state that there should be exactly 150 threads per square centimetre , four threads per stitch , and one square foot should weigh exactly 205 grams ( 7.2 oz ) . There are four places in the country licensed to make the cloth for the national flag , they are in Karnataka , Marathwada , Barabanki in UP , and Banetha in Rajasthan . The woven khadi is obtained from two handloom units in the Dharwad and Bagalkot districts of northern Karnataka . Currently , Karnataka Khadi Gramodyoga Samyukta Sangha based in Hubli is the only licensed flag production and supply unit in India . Permission for setting up flag manufacturing units in India is allotted by the Khadi Development and Village Industries Commission , though the BIS has the power to cancel the licences of units that flout guidelines . The hand - woven khadi for the National Flag was initially manufactured at Garag , a small village in the Dharwad district . A Centre was established at Garag in 1954 by a few freedom fighters under the banner of Dharwad Taluk Kshetriya Seva Sangh and obtained the Centre 's licence to make flags . Once woven , the material is sent to the BIS laboratories for testing . After quality testing , the material , if approved , is returned to the factory . It is then separated into three lots which are dyed saffron , white and green . The Ashoka Chakra is screen printed , stencilled or suitably embroidered onto each side of the white cloth . Care also has to be taken that the chakra is completely visible and synchronised on both sides . Three pieces of the required dimension , one of each colour , are then stitched together according to specifications and the final product is ironed and packed . The BIS then checks the colours and only then can the flag be sold . Protocol Main article : Flag Code of India Correct horizontal and vertical display of the flag Display and usage of the flag is governed by the Flag Code of India , 2002 ( successor to the Flag Code -- India , the original flag code ) ; the Emblems and Names ( Prevention of Improper Use ) Act , 1950 ; and the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act , 1971 . Insults to the national flag , including gross affronts or indignities to it , as well as using it in a manner so as to violate the provisions of the Flag Code , are punishable by law with imprisonment up to three years , or a fine , or both . Official regulation states that the flag must never touch the ground or water , or be used as a drapery in any form . The flag may not be intentionally placed upside down , dipped in anything , or hold any objects other than flower petals before unfurling . No sort of lettering may be inscribed on the flag . When out in the open , the flag should always be flown between sunrise and sunset , irrespective of the weather conditions . Prior to 2009 , the flag could be flown on a public building at night under special circumstances ; currently , Indian citizens can fly the flag even at night , subject to the restriction that the flag should be hoisted on a tall flagpole and be well - illuminated . The flag should never be depicted , displayed or flown upside down . Tradition also states that when draped vertically , the flag should not merely be rotated 90degrees , but also reversed . One `` reads '' a flag like the pages of a book , from top to bottom and from left to right , and after rotation the results should be the same . It is considered insulting to display the flag in a frayed or dirty state , and the same rule applies to the flagpoles and halyards used to hoist the flag , which should always be in a proper state of maintenance . The original flag code of India did not allow private citizens to fly the national flag except on national days such as Independence Day or Republic Day . In 2001 , Naveen Jindal , an industrialist used to the more egalitarian use of the flag in the United States where he studied , flew the Indian flag on his office building . The flag was confiscated and he was warned of prosecution . Jindal filed a public interest litigation petition in the High Court of Delhi ; he sought to strike down the restriction on the use of the flag by private citizens , arguing that hoisting the national flag with due decorum and honour was his right as a citizen , and a way of expressing his love for the country . At the end of the appeals process , the case was heard by the Supreme Court of India ; the court ruled in Jindal 's favour , asking the Government of India to consider the matter . The Union Cabinet of India then amended the Indian Flag Code with effect from 26 January 2002 , allowing private citizens to hoist the flag on any day of the year , subject to their safeguarding the dignity , honour and respect of the flag . It is also held that the code was not a statute and restrictions under the code ought to be followed ; also , the right to fly the flag is a qualified right , unlike the absolute rights guaranteed to citizens , and should be interpreted in the context of Article 19 of the Constitution of India . The original flag code also forbade use of the flag on uniforms , costumes and other clothing . In July 2005 , the Government of India amended the code to allow some forms of usage . The amended code forbids usage in clothing below the waist and on undergarments , and forbids embroidering onto pillowcases , handkerchiefs or other dress material . Disposal of damaged flags is also covered by the flag code . Damaged or soiled flags may not be cast aside or disrespectfully destroyed ; they have to be destroyed as a whole in private , preferably by burning or by any other method consistent with the dignity of the flag . Display Placement protocol for the Indian flag with another country 's flag The rules regarding the correct methods to display the flag state that when two flags are fully spread out horizontally on a wall behind a podium , their hoists should be towards each other with the saffron stripes uppermost . If the flag is displayed on a short flagpole , this should be mounted at an angle to the wall with the flag draped tastefully from it . If two national flags are displayed on crossed staffs , the hoists must be towards each other and the flags must be fully spread out . The flag should never be used as a cloth to cover tables , lecterns , podiums or buildings , or be draped from railings . Whenever the flag is displayed indoors in halls at public meetings or gatherings of any kind , it should always be on the right ( observers ' left ) , as this is the position of authority . So when the flag is displayed next to a speaker in the hall or other meeting place , it must be placed on the speaker 's right hand . When it is displayed elsewhere in the hall , it should be to the right of the audience . The flag should be displayed completely spread out with the saffron stripe on top . If hung vertically on the wall behind the podium , the saffron stripe should be to the left of the onlookers facing the flag with the hoist cord at the top . A flag procession The flag , when carried in a procession or parade or with another flag or flags , should be on the marching right or alone in the centre at the front . The flag may form a distinctive feature of the unveiling of a statue , monument , or plaque , but should never be used as the covering for the object . As a mark of respect to the flag , it should never be dipped to a person or thing , as opposed to regimental colours , organisational or institutional flags , which may be dipped as a mark of honour . During the ceremony of hoisting or lowering the flag , or when the flag is passing in a parade or in a review , all persons present should face the flag and stand at attention . Those present in uniform should render the appropriate salute . When the flag is in a moving column , persons present will stand at attention or salute as the flag passes them . A dignitary may take the salute without a head dress . The flag salutation should be followed by the playing of the national anthem . Indian Flag at the Red Fort , Delhi The privilege of flying the national flag on vehicles is restricted to the President , the Vice-President or the Prime Minister , Governors and Lieutenant Governors of states , Chief Ministers , Union Ministers , members of the Parliament of India and state legislatures of the Indian states ( Vidhan Sabha and Vidhan Parishad ) , judges of the Supreme Court of India and High Courts , and flag officers of the Army , Navy and Air Force . The flag has to be flown from a staff affixed firmly either on the middle front or to the front right side of the car . When a foreign dignitary travels in a car provided by government , the flag should be flown on the right side of the car while the flag of the foreign country should be flown on the left side . The flag should be flown on the aircraft carrying the President , the Vice-President or the Prime Minister on a visit to a foreign country . Alongside the National Flag , the flag of the country visited should also be flown ; however , when the aircraft lands in countries en route , the national flags of the respective countries would be flown instead . When carrying the president within India , aircraft display the flag on the side the president embarks or disembarks ; the flag is similarly flown on trains , but only when the train is stationary or approaching a railway station . When the Indian flag is flown on Indian territory along with other national flags , the general rule is that the Indian flag should be the starting point of all flags . When flags are placed in a straight line , the rightmost flag ( leftmost to the observer facing the flag ) is the Indian flag , followed by other national flags in alphabetical order . When placed in a circle , the Indian flag is the first point and is followed by other flags alphabetically . In such placement , all other flags should be of approximately the same size with no other flag being larger than the Indian flag . Each national flag should also be flown from its own pole and no flag should be placed higher than another . In addition to being the first flag , the Indian flag may also be placed within the row or circle alphabetically . When placed on crossed poles , the Indian flag should be in front of the other flag , and to the right ( observer 's left ) of the other flag . The only exception to the preceding rule is when it is flown along with the flag of the United Nations , which may be placed to the right of the Indian flag . When the Indian flag is displayed with non-national flags , including corporate flags and advertising banners , the rules state that if the flags are on separate staffs , the flag of India should be in the middle , or the furthest left from the viewpoint of the onlookers , or at least one flag 's breadth higher than the other flags in the group . Its flagpole must be in front of the other poles in the group , but if they are on the same staff , it must be the uppermost flag . If the flag is carried in procession with other flags , it must be at the head of the marching procession , or if carried with a row of flags in line abreast , it must be carried to the marching right of the procession . Half - mast The flag should be flown at half - mast as a sign of mourning . The decision to do so lies with the President of India , who also decides the period of such mourning . When the flag is to be flown at half mast , it must first be raised to the top of the mast and then slowly lowered . Only the Indian flag is flown half mast ; all other flags remain at normal height . The flag is flown half - mast nationwide on the death of the president , Vice-president or prime minister . It is flown half - mast in New Delhi and the state of origin for the Speaker of the Lok Sabha , Chief Justice of the Supreme Court , and Union Ministers . On deaths of Governors , Lt. Governors and Chief Ministers , the flag is flown at half - mast in the respective states and union territories . The Indian flag can not be flown at half - mast on Republic Day ( 26 January ) , Independence day ( 15 August ) , Gandhi Jayanti ( 2 October ) , National Week ( 6 -- 13 April ) or state formation anniversaries , except over buildings housing the body of the deceased dignitary . However , even in such cases , the flag must be raised to full - mast when the body is moved from the building . Observances of State mourning on the death of foreign dignitaries are governed by special instructions issued from the Ministry of Home Affairs in individual cases . However , in the event of death of either the Head of the State or Head of the Government of a foreign country , the Indian Mission accredited to that country may fly the national flag at half - mast . On occasions of state , military , central para-military forces funerals , the flag shall be draped over the bier or coffin with the saffron towards the head of the bier or coffin . The flag should not be lowered into the grave or burnt in the pyre .

meaning of three colours of indian national flag in english

Gandhi first proposed a flag to the Indian National Congress in 1921 . The flag was designed by Pingali Venkayya . In the centre was a traditional spinning wheel , symbolising Gandhi 's goal of making Indians self - reliant by fabricating their own clothing . The design was then modified to include a white stripe in the centre for other religious communities , and provide a background for the spinning wheel . Subsequently , to avoid sectarian associations with the colour scheme , saffron , white and green were chosen for the three bands , representing courage and sacrifice , peace and truth , and faith and chivalry respectively .

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 .

Paige is pronounced dead , much to the horror of J.J. and Eve who apologizes to Paige over her body .

Alcoholic drinks in Canada - wikipedia Alcoholic drinks in Canada This article covers various topics involving alcoholic drinks in Canada . The Government of Canada defines an alcoholic drink as `` a beverage containing 1.1 % or more alcohol by volume . '' Contents ( hide ) 1 Comparative consumption 2 Distribution 3 Legal issues 3.1 Age 3.2 Sales 3.3 Consumption 4 Notes 5 See also Comparative consumption ( edit ) Statistics Canada carries out surveys of alcoholic consumption in Canada , divided by territory / province . Average values for the country in 2006 are given in the bottom row of the table . Wine Rank Beer Rank Spirits Rank Total Rank ↓ Yukon 18.3 90.6 13.8 12.7 Northwest Territories 8.1 7 55.2 5 10.8 9.2 Alberta 13.9 89.8 7.6 9 8.6 Newfoundland & Labrador 6.5 11 93.3 7.3 10 8.0 British Columbia 14.5 76.6 12 9.0 7 7.8 5 Ontario 11.8 5 84.3 6 8.8 8 7.8 6 Quebec 17.4 93.9 4.1 12 7.8 7 Prince Edward Island 7.4 10 78.9 9 9.7 7.5 8 Nova Scotia 8.0 8 79.5 8 9.1 5 7.5 9 Manitoba 8.0 9 76.8 10 9.4 7.4 10 Saskatchewan 5.0 12 76.8 11 9.1 6 7.0 11 New Brunswick 8.4 6 79.8 7 6.8 11 6.7 12 Nunavut Data unavailable Canada 13.1 85.6 7.5 7.8 Values for wine , beer and spirits consumption are given in litres per person over 15 , per annum . The total is expressed in litres of absolute alcohol . Distribution ( edit ) Under the Constitution of Canada , responsibility for enacting laws and regulations regarding the sale and distribution of alcoholic drinks in Canada is the sole responsibility of the ten provinces . Canada 's three territories have also been granted similar autonomy over these matters under the provisions of federal legislation . This means that there is a separate agency ( or agencies ) in each province responsible for regulating the consumption of and , in all but one case , the sale of alcoholic drinks . Alberta is currently the only jurisdiction to have completely privatized its retail liquor industry ( the AGLC maintains a monopoly over the wholesale distribution of wine , distilled spirits and imported beer - the distribution operation itself being contracted out to a private operator ) . Most of the other jurisdictions have maintained a total or near - total control over the sale of hard liquor while allowing limited privatisation of country - originated beer and wine sales . Legal issues ( edit ) Age ( edit ) In Canada , there is no federally defined age for legal alcohol purchase or consumption . Each province and territory is free to set its own drinking age . The legal age for purchase is : 19 years of age in BC , New Brunswick , Newfoundland and Labrador , Northwest Territories , Nova Scotia , Nunavut , Ontario , PEI , Saskatchewan , and Yukon 18 years of age in Alberta , Manitoba , and Quebec . In most jurisdictions , alcohol may not be sold to persons of legal age who intend to transfer it to minors . Sales ( edit ) The selling hours of alcohol , both on and off - premises , are also appointed by provincial and territorial jurisdiction , as long as off - premises sale hours do not coincide with curfew hours . Many provinces and territories define the off - premises sale of hard liquor , either by alcohol volume or by quantities thereof , to be sold only within specific hours , which usually correspond to the opening hours of a given vendor . However , in some of them , it is also possible to derogate to the current norm upon applying for a distributor 's licence , under certain circumstances . The on - premises sale is allowed at the discretion of the premise , with the hours being regulated by every province . In general , most provinces have banned `` tied houses '' ( bars that are affiliated with only one alcohol supplier ) , in favour of free houses which sell products from a variety of suppliers . A partial exception is made for brewpubs where a bar and brewery are on the same site . Consumption ( edit ) The consumption of alcohol in public places is generally forbidden , regardless of the time ( in a few provinces and territories this is still not enforced ) , unless a permit to do so is delivered by the responsible municipal authorities . In Quebec the consumption of drinks with low alcohol contents is permitted in public if accompanied by food . In all of the provinces and territories , the consumption of alcohol is forbidden while driving , with Ontario and Quebec also forbidding the possession of open non-empty containers within a motionless vehicle .

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 - 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 .

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 ) - 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 .

secreted by cells in the walls of the hearts atria

Atrial natriuretic peptide ( ANP ) or Atrial natriuretic factor ( ANF ) is a peptide hormone which reduces an expanded extracellular fluid ( ECF ) volume by increasing renal sodium excretion . 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 .
