Bonann \| source\=\[\[The Malibu Times\|Malibu Times Magazine]] (Jul/Aug 2012\)}}
During the mid 1970s, Bonann imagined a television series that featured the heroic stories of his [lifeguard](/wiki/Lifeguard "Lifeguard") friends. After meeting Stu Erwin Jr. of [Grant Tinker](/wiki/Grant_Tinker "Grant Tinker")'s [MTM Enterprises](/wiki/MTM_Enterprises "MTM Enterprises") in 1977, he [pitched](/wiki/Pitch_%28filmmaking%29 "Pitch (filmmaking)") the idea, which at that time was called *A.C.E.S.*, for Aquatic Corps for Emergency Service. Erwin declined, but he encouraged Bonann to continue to develop the concept.
In 1981, while working at JJH Productions, Bonann began pitching the idea again. At his mother's suggestion, he renamed the show *[Baywatch](/wiki/Baywatch "Baywatch")*, but he continued his attempts to sell the series with no success for the next six years.
Bonann met the writing team of [Douglas Schwartz](/wiki/Douglas_Schwartz "Douglas Schwartz") and [Michael Berk](/wiki/Michael_Berk "Michael Berk") through his sister, Deborah, who was engaged to Schwartz. They agreed to help Bonann develop the project. The three of them took *[Baywatch](/wiki/Baywatch "Baywatch")* back to Stu Erwin, Jr., who was still working for [Grant Tinker](/wiki/Grant_Tinker "Grant Tinker") at his new production company, [GTG Entertainment](/wiki/GTG_Entertainment "GTG Entertainment"). In 1988, Tinker and Erwin added *[Baywatch](/wiki/Baywatch "Baywatch")* to their projects in development.
Due to the [1988 Writers Guild of America strike](/wiki/1988_Writers_Guild_of_America_strike "1988 Writers Guild of America strike"), GTG was unable to use a written script to pitch the show, so Tinker asked Bonann to produce a video sales presentation. Bonann used his documentary crew to shoot and edit footage of the March 1988 lifeguard tryouts, along with [slow motion](/wiki/Slow_motion "Slow motion") action shots of several of his lifeguard friends. On the strength of that presentation, [Brandon Tartikoff](/wiki/Brandon_Tartikoff "Brandon Tartikoff") purchased a two\-hour movie pilot for [NBC](/wiki/NBC "NBC"), after which *[Baywatch](/wiki/Baywatch "Baywatch")* was picked up for series.
After one season on [NBC](/wiki/NBC "NBC"), *[Baywatch](/wiki/Baywatch "Baywatch")* was [canceled](/wiki/Cancellation_%28television%29 "Cancellation (television)"). Tinker sold the rights to the program back to Bonann for ten dollars, and along with Schwartz, Berk, and the show's lead actor, [David Hasselhoff](/wiki/David_Hasselhoff "David Hasselhoff"), Bonann launched the series in [first\-run syndication](/wiki/First-run_syndication "First-run syndication"), resulting in ten more seasons, including two in [Hawaii](/wiki/Baywatch%23Baywatch_Hawaii_.281999.E2.80.932001.29 "Baywatch#Baywatch Hawaii .281999.E2.80.932001.29"), and even a short\-lived spinoff series called *[Baywatch Nights](/wiki/Baywatch_Nights "Baywatch Nights")*.
Bonann's relationship with the [L.A. County Lifeguards](/wiki/Los_Angeles_County_Lifeguards "Los Angeles County Lifeguards") allowed him to build a functioning interior and exterior [set](/wiki/Set_construction "Set construction") above the actual lifeguard headquarters on [Will Rogers State Beach](/wiki/Will_Rogers_State_Beach "Will Rogers State Beach"), where Bonann began his lifeguard career nearly twenty years earlier.
*[Baywatch](/wiki/Baywatch "Baywatch")* was seen in 145 countries and was translated into over 42 languages. It was listed in the 2001 [Guinness Book of World Records](/wiki/Guinness_World_Records "Guinness World Records") as the most widely viewed TV series in the world with a weekly audience of over 1\.1 billion.
By its end, Bonann had executive produced 289 episodes of *[Baywatch](/wiki/Baywatch "Baywatch")*, *[Baywatch Nights](/wiki/Baywatch_Nights "Baywatch Nights")*, and *[Baywatch Hawaii](/wiki/Baywatch%23Baywatch_Hawaii_.281999.E2.80.932001.29 "Baywatch#Baywatch Hawaii .281999.E2.80.932001.29")*. He directed a total of 75 episodes and 400 of his signature music montages. From the beginning of the pilot movie in 1988 to the wrap of the final episode in 2001, *[Baywatch](/wiki/Baywatch "Baywatch")* had dominated 14 years of Bonann's life.{{cite web \|url\=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096542/combined \|title\=Baywatch on IMDB \|website\=IMDB \|publisher\=IMDB.com \|access\-date\=May 23, 2015}}

Biography
---------
Born in [Lima, Peru](/wiki/Lima%2C_Peru "Lima, Peru"), he was the son of [Manuel Justo Pardo y Lavalle](/wiki/Manuel_Pardo_%28politician%29 "Manuel Pardo (politician)"), who had been the first civilian president of Peru (1872\-1876\) and the founder the [Civilista Party](/wiki/Civilista_Party "Civilista Party"); he is one of two second\-generation Peruvian presidents ([Manuel Prado](/wiki/Manuel_Prado_Ugarteche "Manuel Prado Ugarteche"), son of former dictator [Mariano Ignacio Prado](/wiki/Mariano_Ignacio_Prado "Mariano Ignacio Prado"), is the other). His grandfather, [Felipe Pardo y Aliaga](/wiki/Felipe_Pardo_y_Aliaga "Felipe Pardo y Aliaga") (1806\-1868\), was a distinguished diplomat, writer and politician who was also Foreign Minister and Vice President of the Peruvian Council of State before, during and after the presidencies of Vivanco and Castilla.
José Pardo headed the Civilista Party and was Foreign Minister under [Eduardo López de Romaña](/wiki/Eduardo_L%C3%B3pez_de_Roma%C3%B1a "Eduardo López de Romaña") and then Prime Minister (1903\-1904\) under [Manuel Candamo](/wiki/Manuel_Candamo "Manuel Candamo"). After Candamo's death, [Serapio Calderón](/wiki/Serapio_Calder%C3%B3n "Serapio Calderón") became the interim president and called for new elections. The Civilista Party named José Pardo as its candidate, while the Democratic Party presented the candidacy of [Nicolás de Piérola](/wiki/Nicol%C3%A1s_de_Pi%C3%A9rola "Nicolás de Piérola"), who retired early before the elections mentioning a "lack of guarantees." This fact led Pardo to become elected. Both his presidential terms were marked by liberal politics.
His government was marked by pushing for better education for all Peruvians. The elementary education in Peru, according to the Law of 1876 proposed by his father, Manuel Pardo, was under the responsibility of the municipalities throughout the country. José Pardo, under his Secretary of Justice and instruction, decided to confront the problem.
The law promulgated in 1905 reformed the education system to depend on the Central Government. It also called for primary education to be free and compulsory in far away places such as villages and mines, and that at least a small school for all children be located in any place with more than two hundred inhabitants. The *Escuela Normal de Varones* ("Normal school for males") was founded for the formation of male teachers, as well as the *Escuela Normal de Mujeres* ("Normal school for females").
Pardo created a General Branch of Instruction to where inspectors in charge of the work of surveillance in the whole Republic depended. In the cultural field the following were established: The National Academy of History, the School of Fine Arts (Bellas Artes), the National Academy of Music, and the National Museum of History. The superior combat school was also founded to form major state officers.
During his second government José Pardo confronted the consequences of the [First World War](/wiki/First_World_War "First World War"), as well as the labor agitation for the obtainment of the "8 working hours" a day. It was finally granted on January 15, 1919\.
With barely a month before the end of his second term, he was ousted in a coup by [Augusto B. Leguía](/wiki/Augusto_B._Legu%C3%ADa "Augusto B. Leguía"). He spent the next eleven years in exile in the South of France, until his return to Lima. He died there in 1947\.
In 1900, Pardo married his first cousin, Carmen Heeren Barreda. The marriage produced seven children: Manuel, José (the Marquis of Fuente Hermosa de Miranda, until his death in 1999\), Enrique, Carmen, Juan, Oscar and Felipe. The current Marquis, José Pardo Paredes (born 1947\), is one of President Jose Pardo's grandchildren.

Other legions and organizations
-------------------------------
### Prominence (Red Legion)
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Yuniko Kōzuki}}'''\|上月 由仁子\|Kōzuki Yuniko}} is a Year\-Five student with a fiery temper and intelligence that belies her age, "Niko," as she prefers to be called, is the second Red King after Red Rider's defeat. She is introduced when she breaks into Haru's house and tries to disguise herself as {{nihongo\|Tomoko Saitou\|サイトウトモコ\|Saitō Tomoko}}, Haru's second cousin. This plan fails when Haru looks through his grandfather's online photo albums and finds that Niko looks nothing like Tomoko. Niko was abandoned by her parents and attends a school for abandoned children. Niko displays [tsundere](/wiki/Tsundere "Tsundere") qualities, one moment being very sweet and affectionate and the next angry and confrontational.{{volume needed\|date\=July 2014}}
Her Brain Burst avatar is {{nihongo\|'''Scarlet Rain'''\|スカーレット・レイン\|Sukāretto Rein}}, a small red robot with the appearance of a young girl, armed with a laser pistol typically stored on the hip. She is the current Red King and her nickname is "The Immobile Fortress" thanks to her special ability, which summons her Enhanced Armament, a massive stationary artillery unit with which Scarlet Rain connects. Though unable to move and slow to turn, the artillery unit is outfitted with scores of weapons, giving it enough firepower to effortlessly take out legions of opponents from all directions. Scarlet Rain possesses two Incarnate System abilities: the Over Ray, a flamethrower attack, and the ability to teleport short distances. {{Voiced by2\|Yuniko Kozuki\|\[\[Rina Hidaka]]\|\[\[Sarah Anne Williams]]}}
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Blood Leopard}}'''\|ブラッド・レパード\|Buraddo Repādo}} real name {{nihongo\|Mihaya Kakei\|掛居 美早\|Kakei Mihaya}}, the vice\-commander of Prominence. She works as a waitress at a cake shop that also serves as a secret base for Prominence. She is usually seen wearing a maid outfit that she wears for work and rides a motorcycle. Leopard, as she prefers to be called, is cold, blunt, and distant, though she has a sarcastic sense of humor. Her Brain Burst avatar is level 6 and has the *Shape Change* ability which allows her to transform her avatar back and forth into a four\-legged configuration, along "Vital Bite" that drains the life gauge of the enemy to replenish hers and "Mental Bite" which does so with the special gauge. Her non\-accelerated avatar is an [anthropomorphic](/wiki/Anthropomorphic "Anthropomorphic") red\-furred [leopard](/wiki/Leopard "Leopard") woman wearing a leather bodysuit. She develops a rivalry with Sky Raker for unknown reasons. She tends to speak in punctuated gaming terms, such as "K", "GJ" (Good job), and "NP" (No Problem). {{Voiced by2\|Blood Leopard\|\[\[Ayako Kawasumi]]\|\[\[Erika Harlacher]]}}
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Cherry Rook}}'''\|チェリー・ルーク\|Cherī Rūku}}, also known as the fifth Chrome Disaster, is a very close friend of Yuniko, becoming her "parent" after learning how much she loves video games. After being out\-leveled by Yuniko and learning that he was moving out of town, he accepted the *Disaster Armor* Enhanced Armament from the Yellow King. He was defeated by Yuniko with the aid of Nega Nebulus using the *Judgement Blow*. His defeat passes the Disaster Armor to Silver Crow, causing him to eventually become the next Chrome Disaster. {{Voiced by2\|Cherry Rook\|\[\[Mikako Takahashi]]\|\[\[Amanda C. Miller]]}}
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Red Rider}}'''\|レッド・ライダー\|Reddo Raidā}}, was the original Red King, but was executed by Black Lotus before the events of the series. Red Rider had the ability to craft powerful weapons to use in combat, and it is implied that he had a romantic relationship with the Purple King, [Purple Thorn](/wiki/%23Purple_Thorn "#Purple Thorn"). Rider was an advocate of continuing the peace treaty between the Kings, a mindset which led to Black Lotus beheading him with the "Death by Embracing" technique, which subsequently took all of his Burst Points and forcefully uninstalled the program, leading to Black Lotus' exile and setting into motion the events of the series. {{Voiced by2\|Red Rider\|\[\[Kenjirō Tsuda]]\|\[\[Keith Silverstein]]}}
### Crypt Cosmic Circus (Yellow Legion)
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Yellow Radio}}'''\|イエロー・レディオ\|Ierō Redio}}, also known "Radioactive Disturber", serves as the Yellow King in the legion. After the fourth Chrome Disaster was defeated, he took the Disaster Armor and gave it to Cherry Rook expecting that he would be able to break the nonviolence treaty between the kings by giving him the "legal" right to eliminate one member from the Red legion, ultimately going after Scarlet Rain. His Brain Burst avatar appears as a court jester with long arms wielding a scepter as a weapon. His Brain Burst avatar's special ability is Futile Fortune Wheel, most likely an illusion attack. He uses illusions and trickery as the basis for his fighting style. {{Voiced by2\|Yellow Radio\|\[\[Akira Ishida]]\|\[\[Vic Mignogna]]}}
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Saxe Lauder}}'''\|サックス・ローダー\|Sakkusu Rōdā}} is one of the Burst Linkers who participates in the ambush against Scarlet Rain in the Unlimited Neutral Field. {{Voiced by2\|Saxe\|Hiroaki Tajiri\|\[\[Kyle Hebert]]}}
### Great Wall (Green Legion)
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Green Grandee}}'''\|グリーン・グランデ\|Gurīn Gurande}} serves as the Green King in the legion. He specializes in absolute defense, which allows him to deal double the damage he receives from attackers earned him the title "Invincible". It is said he gained most of his Burst Points by hunting "enemies" in the Unlimited Neutral Field by himself. He exchanges Burst Points into item cards and distribute them to "enemies" for other players to hunt and pick up. He has only lost duels due to time out. He has witnessed the destruction of four generations of Chrome Disaster. His large shield is one of the *Seven Arcs*, 'gamma' *The Strife*. He is also one of the Originators and one of the few players who knows the existence of other accelerated worlds.
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Ash Roller}}'''\|アッシュ・ローラー\|Asshyu Rōrā}}, Silver Crow's first\-ever opponent and Sky Raker's "child". Ash Roller is rude, vulgar, and highly aggressive, except when in Sky Raker's presence, where he adopts a highly respectful demeanor and often refers to her as "master". Despite being in the Green legion, he occasionally aids his master and rival; after Silver Crow had his wings stolen by Dusk Taker, Ash rallied him to not give up on Brain Burst and introduced him to Sky Raker out of the belief she could help him. Ash's motorcycle, an Enhanced Armament, is his primary weapon, means of transportation, and source of strength; without the bike, Ash Roller is effectively powerless.
Ash's real identity is {{nihongo\|Rin Kusakabe\|日下部 綸\|Kusakabe Rin}}, a girl who has had a crush on Haruyuki since being defeated in their second duel, confessing to him her identity and feelings when they first met in volume 9\. The relationship between Rin and her duel avatar persona is complex; the neurolinker she has Brain Burst installed on belonged to her currently comatose brother Rinta, so his neurological data is imprinted on it, and Rin can only use it since she often was made to wear it as an infant. Thus, in the Accelerated World, Ash Roller is a separate entity formed from Rinta's hopes and fears instead of Rin's. While he is uncertain as to what he is exactly (a "ghost" or an extension of Rinta), Ash behaves like an over\-protective brother, becoming violent towards Silver Crow whenever he perceives his rival to be flirting with Rin. {{Voiced by2\|Ash Roller\|\[\[Kenichi Suzumura]]\|\[\[Benjamin Diskin\|Ben Diskin]]}}
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Graphite Edge}}'''\|グラファイト・エッジ\|Gurafaito Ejji}} is a level 8 Burst Linker associated with the element of earth and a former member of Nega Nebulus. Nicknamed "Anomaly", or just "Graph" for short, he often displays a carefree personality and gives informal nicknames to his comrades. He is a swordsman\-type avatar with the Enhanced Armament *Twin Swords* and his skills in close combat are equal or even superior to Black Lotus, to whom he taught her Incarnate attacks, despite his defenses being weak like his namesake. Graph has a lot of knowledge of the background of the Accelerated World, as well as the other "fallen" accelerated worlds Accel Assault 2038 and Cosmos Corrupt 2040, although he has not revealed how he came by this knowledge.
During the fall of the original Nega Nebulus, he became trapped in an unlimited enemy kill by one of the Castle's God\-Class enemies, thus he could only appear in regular duels. He defected to serve under Green Grandee in exchange for sheltering the remaining survivors of Nega Nebulus. After this is discovered by his former legion members, it is also revealed that Graphite Edge somewhat escaped his UEK; though he managed to breach the castle's gate, his avatar is now confined to within the castle's walls, and that he is also the parent of the mysterious new burst linker Trilead Tetroxide/Azure Air.
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Iron Pound}}'''\|アイアン・パウンド\|Aian Paundo}} is one of the Green Legion's executives, often acting as Green Grandee's spokesman. He first met Silver Crow after the latter had been mostly consumed by the Armor of Catastrophe and fought against him, being perplexed by his opponent's somewhat\-remaining sense of self unlike previous wearer's of the Armor, and lost their duel. Pound showed Silver Crow no animosity after being confirmed to have been purified of the Armor, and suggested that he acquire the Theoretical Mirror ability to counter Metatron's laser attack.
Being what is known as a "perfect match" avatar, Pound is one of the few burst linkers whose avatar is designed to reflect their real\-world skills, in his case, boxing. While this gives him the advantage of being able to apply his fighting skills perfectly, Pound finds it difficult to adjust to sudden melee attacks that defy standard boxing rules (such as being attacked from behind). In the film *Infinite Burst*, {{Voiced by2\|Iron Pound\|Naoya Nosaka\|Austin Lee Matthews}}
### Leoniz (Blue Legion)
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Blue Knight}}'''\|ブルー・ナイト\|Burū Naito}}, also known as "Vanquisher", "Holy Sword" and "Legend Slayer", serves as the Blue King in the legion. His large sword is one of the *Seven Arcs*, 'alpha' *The Impulse*. Although he is Cyan Pile's original Legion Master, for some reason he decides to not apply the Judgement Blow on him when he joins Nega Nebulus. He was Red Rider's best friend and is also one of the Originators (one of the first players to have been given Brain Burst). {{Voiced by2\|Blue Knight\|\[\[Takahiro Sakurai]]\|\[\[Kaiji Tang]]}}
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Cobalt Blade}}'''\|コバルト・ブレード\|Kobaruto Burēdo}} and {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Manganese Blade}}'''\|マンガン・ブレード\|Mangan Burēdo}} are twin female Burst Linkers who are close aide of the Blue King, both level 7\. Their duel avatars both have exceedingly similar female samurai warrior appearances; the most prominent difference between them are the so\-called horns of their helmets, with Cobalt having "pigtails" and Manganese having a "ponytail". They are loyal to the Blue King and they both have a crush on him. In the past, Sky Raker once hung them from the top of the Tokyo Government Office, which humiliated them. {{Voiced by2\|Cobalt Blade\|\[\[Misato Fukuen]]\|Amanda C. Miller}}, while {{Voiced by2\|Manganese Blade\|\[\[Kanako Kondō]]\|\[\[Lauren Landa]]}}
### Auroral Oval (Purple Legion)
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Purple Thorn}}'''\|パープル・ソーン\|Pāpuru Sōn}}, also known as Empress Voltage, serves as the Purple King. She was Red Rider's lover. Her staff is one of the *Seven Arcs*, 'beta' *The Tempest*. {{Voiced by2\|Purple Thorn\|\[\[Kaori Mizuhashi]]\|\[\[Jessica Straus]]}}
* {{nihongo\|'''Aster Vine'''\|アスター・ヴァイン\|Asutā Vain}} is a close aide of the Purple King. Little is known about her, although, as with many of the other executives of rival legions, she has an antagonistic relationship with Sky Raker.
### Oscillatory Universe (White Legion)
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|White Cosmos}}'''\|ホワイト・コスモス\|Howaito Kosumosu}}, also known as "Transient Eternity", serves as the White King in the legion and is the main antagonist of *Accel World*. Her real name is {{nihongo\|'''Enju Kuroba'''\|黒羽 苑珠\|Kuroba Enju}}. She is Kuroyukihime's older sister by one year in the real world and her "parent" in the Accelerated World. Her Brain Burst avatar possesses a recovery ability, one of only three in the history of Brain Burst with such a power. She also has the power to become fully invisible. She also possesses one of the *Seven Arcs* and is also one of the Originators. As the series progress, she is revealed to be the leader of the Acceleration Research Society. She is also the one who manipulated Black Lotus to behead Red Rider, which put a strain in their relationship.
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Ivory Tower}}'''\|アイボリー・タワー\|Aiborī Tawā}} is the representative for White Cosmos during the meetings involving the Kings of each legion.
### Acceleration Research Society
The Acceleration Research Society is a secret organization involved in using [hacking](/wiki/Hacker_%28computer_security%29 "Hacker (computer security)") and other underhanded tactics to obtain any advantage they can in the Brain Burst game. Its members include:
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Seiji Noumi\|Dusk Taker}}'''\|能美 征二\|Nōmi Seiji}}
A first year student at Umesato Junior High School, a Burst Linker (though he detests the term), and member of the Kendo Club who abuses the Physical Burst command to cheat. Seiji believes he is above other people and is disgusted by those he deems "lower" than himself to the point that he will clean his hands with a handkerchief if he touches someone. Seiji blackmails Haruyuki and Chiyuri and takes Silver Crow's wings in an attempt to force the two into becoming his "pets." He is eventually double\-crossed by Chiyuri, who temporarily joins forces with him just to level up enough to perfect her abilities and return Silver Crow's wings. He lost the resulting sudden death fight and has Brain Burst forcefully uninstalled, taking his memories of having the program with it, thus proving Kuroyukihime's theory that Burst Linkers who have the program uninstalled also lose any memories of ever having the program. Much to Haruyuki and the others' surprise, Seiji becomes a kind person after he loses his memories from the game, forgetting not only all the harm he caused but all the suffering inflicted on him by his brother, who used to abuse him and force him to play Brain Burst in order to steal his Burst points to himself before Seiji defeated him for good by his own.
Seiji's Brain Burst avatar, {{nihongo\|'''Dusk Taker'''\|ダスク・テイカー\|Dasuku Teikā}}, appears as a featureless black humanoid with a large red orb in place of a face. His avatar was created from his desire to take everything back that his older brother {{Nihongo\|Yuichi Noumi\|能美 優一\|Nōmi Yūichi}} stole from him. Though lacking in significant combat ability on its own, Dusk Taker has an ability known as "Demonic Commandeer," the power to steal any finishing move, reinforced exterior, or ability from other Burst Linkers. This ability has no time limit, meaning Dusk Taker can possess up to three stolen abilities for as long as he desires. So long as Dusk Taker possesses an ability, the Burst Linker he took it from will be unable to use it. Using this ability, he has managed to incorporate body parts and weapons from other Burst Linkers into his own avatar, including a large scissor weapon on the right arm and a set of red tentacles replacing his left arm. Dusk Taker is also able to utilize the Incarnate System to create claws made of bright purple energy. {{Voiced by2\|Seiji\|\[\[Sanae Kobayashi]]\|Amanda C. Miller}}
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Rust Jigsaw}}'''\|ラスト・ジグソー\|Rasuto Jigusō}} is a level 6 Burst Linker that lays traps to fend off melee type avatars while picking them off with long\-range attacks and makes use of the Incarnate System to rust and corrode his targets. Like Dusk Taker, his name does not appear on the challenge list by using the now\-banned Brain Implant Chip. {{Voiced by2\|Rust Jigsaw\|\[\[Satoshi Hino]]\|\[\[Sean Chiplock]]}}
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Sulfur Pot}}'''\|サルファ・ポット\|Sarufa Potto}} is a Burst Linker who dives into Okinawa while being in Tokyo using a [backdoor program](/wiki/Backdoor_%28computing%29 "Backdoor (computing)"). Sulfur Pot has the ability to tame enemies with his Enhanced Armament *Mystical Reins*, which he loses when he is defeated. The item winds up in the hands of Black Lotus, a gift from the Okinawan Burst Linkers. Like Dusk Taker, his name does not appear on the challenge list. {{Voiced by2\|Sulfur Pot\|\[\[Nobuyuki Hiyama]]\|\[\[Derek Stephen Prince]]}}
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Wolfram Cerberus}}'''\|ウルフラム・サーベラス\|Urufuramu Sāberasu}} is a level 1 Burst Linker with at least three different personalities. He defeats Silver Crow in their first battle. He cooperated with the group to help with his other personalities. During the second battle, he lost due to Silver Crow figuring out his weakness. During the third battle, he overcame his mistakes, but Silver Crow's new move let him have the upper hand. When Argon Array interfered and trashed Ash Roller in the process, he defended Silver Crow; only to be knocked away by her. In volume 13, Cerberus was asked by Haru to meet with him in the real world. However, though he showed up, he ran off before speaking with Haru. In volume 15, despite having prepared himself to intentionally lose Brain Burst, he instead became the host for the Research Society's new Armor of Catastrophe Mark II, made from the negative will collected by the ISS Kit core and the boosters stolen from Scarlet Rain's Immobile Fortress.
His abilities change based on which of his personalities is active. When his second or the third personality activates, one of his shoulder armor pads opens and acts as the head. His first personality has the ability "Physical Immunity", which compresses his tungsten\-hard armor to remove his weak points, preventing him from being harmed by melee attacks, though he remains vulnerable to throws. His second personality has the ability "Wolf Down" to bite the opponent and temporarily copy the abilities of the opponent in the process. His third personality is a copy of Dusk Taker (somehow resurrected from Brain Burst's Central Server) and has the same "Demonic Commandeer" ability. The Research Society seems to have some control over Cerberus's personalities, and were also able to briefly incorporate a copy of Orchid Oracle's personality and ability into the avatar.
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Black Vise}}'''\|ブラック・バイス\|Burakku Baisu}} is a level 8 Burst Linker, one of the Originators, and the vice\-commander of the Acceleration Research Society. He has the ability to hide in the shadows. Additionally, due to his Brain Implant Chip, Black Vise is able to decelerate, even while in the accelerated world. Essentially this enables him to dive into Brain Burst while still experiencing events in real\-time as opposed to the slowed\-down time Burst Linkers normally experience due to their accelerated senses. His avatar's body, made up of a series of black panels in a roughly humanoid shape, is able to separate panels to use as shields and offensive weapons. The color black is already used by Black Lotus so Black Vise is likely not the official name of the avatar, due to no two Avatars sharing the same color (hence why the second Red King is Scarlet rather than Red). {{Voiced by2\|Black Vise\|\[\[Nobuo Tobita]]\|\[\[Matthew Mercer\|Matt Mercer]]}}
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Argon Array}}'''\|アルゴン・アレイ\|Arugon Arei}} is a level 8 Burst Linker, also known as "Quad Eyes Analyst". She has the ability to see the status of other avatars. She fires laser as her main attack and uses a flashlight to temporarily block the eyesight of other players.
### Petit Paquet
One of the smaller legions in the Accelerated World, it consisted of a trio of girls who were in the same "Desert Lovers Club" before they later disbanded to join Nega Nebulus. Their members included:
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Shihoko Nago}}'''\|奈胡 志帆子\|Nago Shihoko}}, who is Petit Paquet's legion master, **{{nihongo\|Chocolat Puppeter**\|ショコラ・パペッター\|Shokora Papettā}}. Introduced in volume 12, she first encountered Silver Crow and Lime Bell when they were attempting to hunt down her tamed Enemy Coolu, before joining forces with them to fight off Magenta Scissor and her own ISS Kit\-corrupted Legion comrades. Her armor has the appearance (and taste) of chocolate, which is considered ironic since Shihoko's real\-world self is unable to eat chocolate. Her avatar's ability is to create a pool of chocolate, from which she can create "chocopets", puppet\-like figures with which she can use to aid her in combat.
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Yume Yuruki}}'''\|由留木 結芽\|Yuruki Yume}}, duel avatar **{{nihongo\|Plum Flipper**\|プラム・フリッパー\|Puramu Furippā}}. She is Chocolat Puppeteer's "parent". She, alongside Mint Mitten, was forcibly parasitized with an ISS Kit by Magenta Scissor, until their battle Chocolat and the Nega Nebulus members Silver Crow and the Lime Bell, the latter of whom was able to remove the kits from Plum and Mint.
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Mito Satomi}}'''\|三登 聖実\|Satomi Mito}}, Chocolat's "child" and a somewhat mischievous person, as well as the owner of the duel avatar **{{nihongo\|Mint Mitten**\|ミント・ミトン\|Minto Miton}}. Her avatar possesses the Menthol Blow ability, which allows her to make her opponents feel cooler than they should, though it is inferior to proper ice\-type attacks. Along with Plum Flipper, she was forcibly parasitized with an ISS Kit by Magenta Scissor, until their battle against Chocolat and the Nega Nebulus members Silver Crow and the Lime Bell, the latter of whom was able to remove the kits.
### Other players
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Crimson Kingbolt}}'''\|クリムゾン・キングボルト\|Kurimuzon Kinguboruto}} is a level 7 Burst Linker and former member of the Purple Legion. Crimson Kingbolt moved to Okinawa three years before the start of the series after his parents divorced. A freshman in high school, he is Lagoon Dolphin's "parent" and is "master" to both Lagoon Dolphin and Coral Merrow. He gives Lagoon [Dolphin](/wiki/Dolphin "Dolphin") and Coral Merrow two rules: never use acceleration for selfish purposes and only talk about the Accelerated World to other Burst Linkers. His Brain Burst avatar resembles a bolt and has the ability to summon an Enhanced Armament giant robot known as "Mega\-Machine Awakening", depending on the amount of metal, which is similar in size and power to Scarlet Rain's Enhanced Armament. He is a friend of Black Lotus, who refers to him as "Crikin." Purple Thorn once recruited him to join her legion (though she only recruited him for his name). {{Voiced by2\|Crimson Kingbolt\|\[\[Tarusuke Shingaki]]\|\[\[Todd Haberkorn\|Todd Stone]]}}
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Ruka Asato}}'''\|安里 琉花\|Asato Ruka}} is a second\-year student at Kube Middle School. In the game, she is {{nihongo\|Lagoon Dolphin\|ラグーン・ドルフィン\|Ragūn Dorufin}}, a level 5 Burst Linker from Okinawa, Lagoon Dolphin is the "parent" of Coral Merrow and the "child" of Crimson Kingbolt. She has a tan and speaks with an Okinawan accent. Her Brain Burst avatar has a *Shape Change* ability, which she called it *Marine Mode*, adopting a form more suited for aquatic environments. {{Voiced by2\|Ruka Asato\|\[\[Tamaki Nakanishi]]\|\[\[Christine Marie Cabanos]]}}
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Mana Itosu}}'''\|糸洲 真魚\|Itosu Mana}} is a first\-year student from Kube Middle School. In the game, she is {{nihongo\|Coral Merrow\|コーラル・メロウ\|Kōraru Merou}}, a level 4 Burst Linker from Okinawa, Coral Merrow is the "child" of Lagoon Dolphin. Like Lagoon Dolphin, her Brain Burst avatar also has a *Shape Change* ability, which she also called it *Marine Mode*, she can take the appearance of a mermaid. {{Voiced by2\|Mana Itosu\|\[\[Yūko Gibu]]\|\[\[Cristina Valenzuela\|Cristina Vee]]{{ cite episode \| url \= http://www.hulu.com/watch/681371\#i0,p17,d0 \| title\=Invitation \| series\=Accel World \| series\-link\=Accel World \| number\=18 \| episode\-link\=List of Accel World episodes\#ep18 \| at\=Closing credits }}}}
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Nickel Doll}}'''\|ニッケル・ドール\|Nikkeru Dōru}} is one of the Burst Linkers Silver Crow battled against with Aqua Current. She uses the electric poles in her palms to control the flow of electric current. {{Voiced by\|\[\[Harumi Sakurai]]}}
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Sand Duct}}'''\|サンド・ダクト\|Sando Dakuto}} is Nickel Doll's partner. He uses the ducts in his hands to create a sandstorm vacuum. {{Voiced by2\|Sand Duct\|Eiji Miyashita\|\[\[Kyle Hebert]]}}
* {{nihongo\|'''{{vanchor\|Rui Odagiri}}'''\|小田切 累\|Odagiri Rui}}, also known as '''{{nihongo\|Magenta Scissor'''\|マゼンタ・シザー\|Mazenta Shisā}}. Formerly associated with the Acceleration Research Society, she was tasked with disseminating the ISS Kits throughout the Accelerated World. Being born with [Gerstmann syndrome](/wiki/Gerstmann_syndrome "Gerstmann syndrome"), Rui has difficulty distinguishing between her fingers and the left\-right counterparts of her arms and legs, and has a hatred of items that function as “pairs”, such as chopsticks, scissors, and shoes, which formed the basis for her duel avatar, which possesses twin swords that she can combine into a large scissor with a long\-range cutting ability. Believing that not all avatars were equal and many had advantages over others which could be abused, as she witnessed happen to her comrade Avocado Avoider, she sought to spread the ISS Kits out of the belief that doing so would stabilize every avatars' power\-balance.
Magenta Scissor was first mentioned in volume 7, in which she gave Cyan Pile an ISS Kit, and later appeared properly in volume 12, at which point she had begun forcibly parasitizing other avatars with the kits, such as Petit Paquet's Plum Flipper and Mint Mitten. After battling Silver Crow, she was defeated and decided to retreat, but allowed him to take a pair of ISS Kits for examination. She later encountered and fought against Nega Nebulus with her comrades, but when the Legend\-class Enemy Metatron attacked both sides, she helped Silver Crow stand his ground long enough to redirect its laser attack. Having seen the lengths the Black Legion had gone through to overcome the Kits, Rui started to re\-evaluate her perceptions, and was later convinced by Chocolat Puppeteer to join Nega Nebulus in order to help undo the damage caused by the ARS.

"Other legions and organizations\n-------------------------------",
"### Prominence (Red Legion)",
"* {{nihongo\\|'''{{vanchor\\|Yuniko Kōzuki}}'''\\|上月 由仁子\\|Kōzuki Yuniko}} is a Year\\-Five student with a fiery temper and intelligence that belies her age, \"Niko,\" as she prefers to be called, is the second Red King after Red Rider's defeat. She is introduced when she breaks into Haru's house and tries to disguise herself as {{nihongo\\|Tomoko Saitou\\|サイトウトモコ\\|Saitō Tomoko}}, Haru's second cousin. This plan fails when Haru looks through his grandfather's online photo albums and finds that Niko looks nothing like Tomoko. Niko was abandoned by her parents and attends a school for abandoned children. Niko displays [tsundere](/wiki/Tsundere \"Tsundere\") qualities, one moment being very sweet and affectionate and the next angry and confrontational.{{volume needed\\|date\\=July 2014}}",
"Her Brain Burst avatar is {{nihongo\\|'''Scarlet Rain'''\\|スカーレット・レイン\\|Sukāretto Rein}}, a small red robot with the appearance of a young girl, armed with a laser pistol typically stored on the hip. She is the current Red King and her nickname is \"The Immobile Fortress\" thanks to her special ability, which summons her Enhanced Armament, a massive stationary artillery unit with which Scarlet Rain connects. Though unable to move and slow to turn, the artillery unit is outfitted with scores of weapons, giving it enough firepower to effortlessly take out legions of opponents from all directions. Scarlet Rain possesses two Incarnate System abilities: the Over Ray, a flamethrower attack, and the ability to teleport short distances. {{Voiced by2\\|Yuniko Kozuki\\|\\[\\[Rina Hidaka]]\\|\\[\\[Sarah Anne Williams]]}}\n* {{nihongo\\|'''{{vanchor\\|Blood Leopard}}'''\\|ブラッド・レパード\\|Buraddo Repādo}} real name {{nihongo\\|Mihaya Kakei\\|掛居 美早\\|Kakei Mihaya}}, the vice\\-commander of Prominence. She works as a waitress at a cake shop that also serves as a secret base for Prominence. She is usually seen wearing a maid outfit that she wears for work and rides a motorcycle. Leopard, as she prefers to be called, is cold, blunt, and distant, though she has a sarcastic sense of humor. Her Brain Burst avatar is level 6 and has the *Shape Change* ability which allows her to transform her avatar back and forth into a four\\-legged configuration, along \"Vital Bite\" that drains the life gauge of the enemy to replenish hers and \"Mental Bite\" which does so with the special gauge. Her non\\-accelerated avatar is an [anthropomorphic](/wiki/Anthropomorphic \"Anthropomorphic\") red\\-furred [leopard](/wiki/Leopard \"Leopard\") woman wearing a leather bodysuit. She develops a rivalry with Sky Raker for unknown reasons. She tends to speak in punctuated gaming terms, such as \"K\", \"GJ\" (Good job), and \"NP\" (No Problem). {{Voiced by2\\|Blood Leopard\\|\\[\\[Ayako Kawasumi]]\\|\\[\\[Erika Harlacher]]}}\n* {{nihongo\\|'''{{vanchor\\|Cherry Rook}}'''\\|チェリー・ルーク\\|Cherī Rūku}}, also known as the fifth Chrome Disaster, is a very close friend of Yuniko, becoming her \"parent\" after learning how much she loves video games. After being out\\-leveled by Yuniko and learning that he was moving out of town, he accepted the *Disaster Armor* Enhanced Armament from the Yellow King. He was defeated by Yuniko with the aid of Nega Nebulus using the *Judgement Blow*. His defeat passes the Disaster Armor to Silver Crow, causing him to eventually become the next Chrome Disaster. {{Voiced by2\\|Cherry Rook\\|\\[\\[Mikako Takahashi]]\\|\\[\\[Amanda C. Miller]]}}\n* {{nihongo\\|'''{{vanchor\\|Red Rider}}'''\\|レッド・ライダー\\|Reddo Raidā}}, was the original Red King, but was executed by Black Lotus before the events of the series. Red Rider had the ability to craft powerful weapons to use in combat, and it is implied that he had a romantic relationship with the Purple King, [Purple Thorn](/wiki/%23Purple_Thorn \"#Purple Thorn\"). Rider was an advocate of continuing the peace treaty between the Kings, a mindset which led to Black Lotus beheading him with the \"Death by Embracing\" technique, which subsequently took all of his Burst Points and forcefully uninstalled the program, leading to Black Lotus' exile and setting into motion the events of the series. {{Voiced by2\\|Red Rider\\|\\[\\[Kenjirō Tsuda]]\\|\\[\\[Keith Silverstein]]}}",
"### Crypt Cosmic Circus (Yellow Legion)",
"* {{nihongo\\|'''{{vanchor\\|Yellow Radio}}'''\\|イエロー・レディオ\\|Ierō Redio}}, also known \"Radioactive Disturber\", serves as the Yellow King in the legion. After the fourth Chrome Disaster was defeated, he took the Disaster Armor and gave it to Cherry Rook expecting that he would be able to break the nonviolence treaty between the kings by giving him the \"legal\" right to eliminate one member from the Red legion, ultimately going after Scarlet Rain. His Brain Burst avatar appears as a court jester with long arms wielding a scepter as a weapon. His Brain Burst avatar's special ability is Futile Fortune Wheel, most likely an illusion attack. He uses illusions and trickery as the basis for his fighting style. {{Voiced by2\\|Yellow Radio\\|\\[\\[Akira Ishida]]\\|\\[\\[Vic Mignogna]]}}\n* {{nihongo\\|'''{{vanchor\\|Saxe Lauder}}'''\\|サックス・ローダー\\|Sakkusu Rōdā}} is one of the Burst Linkers who participates in the ambush against Scarlet Rain in the Unlimited Neutral Field. {{Voiced by2\\|Saxe\\|Hiroaki Tajiri\\|\\[\\[Kyle Hebert]]}}",
"### Great Wall (Green Legion)",
"* {{nihongo\\|'''{{vanchor\\|Green Grandee}}'''\\|グリーン・グランデ\\|Gurīn Gurande}} serves as the Green King in the legion. He specializes in absolute defense, which allows him to deal double the damage he receives from attackers earned him the title \"Invincible\". It is said he gained most of his Burst Points by hunting \"enemies\" in the Unlimited Neutral Field by himself. He exchanges Burst Points into item cards and distribute them to \"enemies\" for other players to hunt and pick up. He has only lost duels due to time out. He has witnessed the destruction of four generations of Chrome Disaster. His large shield is one of the *Seven Arcs*, 'gamma' *The Strife*. He is also one of the Originators and one of the few players who knows the existence of other accelerated worlds.\n* {{nihongo\\|'''{{vanchor\\|Ash Roller}}'''\\|アッシュ・ローラー\\|Asshyu Rōrā}}, Silver Crow's first\\-ever opponent and Sky Raker's \"child\". Ash Roller is rude, vulgar, and highly aggressive, except when in Sky Raker's presence, where he adopts a highly respectful demeanor and often refers to her as \"master\". Despite being in the Green legion, he occasionally aids his master and rival; after Silver Crow had his wings stolen by Dusk Taker, Ash rallied him to not give up on Brain Burst and introduced him to Sky Raker out of the belief she could help him. Ash's motorcycle, an Enhanced Armament, is his primary weapon, means of transportation, and source of strength; without the bike, Ash Roller is effectively powerless.",
"Ash's real identity is {{nihongo\\|Rin Kusakabe\\|日下部 綸\\|Kusakabe Rin}}, a girl who has had a crush on Haruyuki since being defeated in their second duel, confessing to him her identity and feelings when they first met in volume 9\\. The relationship between Rin and her duel avatar persona is complex; the neurolinker she has Brain Burst installed on belonged to her currently comatose brother Rinta, so his neurological data is imprinted on it, and Rin can only use it since she often was made to wear it as an infant. Thus, in the Accelerated World, Ash Roller is a separate entity formed from Rinta's hopes and fears instead of Rin's. While he is uncertain as to what he is exactly (a \"ghost\" or an extension of Rinta), Ash behaves like an over\\-protective brother, becoming violent towards Silver Crow whenever he perceives his rival to be flirting with Rin. {{Voiced by2\\|Ash Roller\\|\\[\\[Kenichi Suzumura]]\\|\\[\\[Benjamin Diskin\\|Ben Diskin]]}}\n* {{nihongo\\|'''{{vanchor\\|Graphite Edge}}'''\\|グラファイト・エッジ\\|Gurafaito Ejji}} is a level 8 Burst Linker associated with the element of earth and a former member of Nega Nebulus. Nicknamed \"Anomaly\", or just \"Graph\" for short, he often displays a carefree personality and gives informal nicknames to his comrades. He is a swordsman\\-type avatar with the Enhanced Armament *Twin Swords* and his skills in close combat are equal or even superior to Black Lotus, to whom he taught her Incarnate attacks, despite his defenses being weak like his namesake. Graph has a lot of knowledge of the background of the Accelerated World, as well as the other \"fallen\" accelerated worlds Accel Assault 2038 and Cosmos Corrupt 2040, although he has not revealed how he came by this knowledge.",
"During the fall of the original Nega Nebulus, he became trapped in an unlimited enemy kill by one of the Castle's God\\-Class enemies, thus he could only appear in regular duels. He defected to serve under Green Grandee in exchange for sheltering the remaining survivors of Nega Nebulus. After this is discovered by his former legion members, it is also revealed that Graphite Edge somewhat escaped his UEK; though he managed to breach the castle's gate, his avatar is now confined to within the castle's walls, and that he is also the parent of the mysterious new burst linker Trilead Tetroxide/Azure Air. \n* {{nihongo\\|'''{{vanchor\\|Iron Pound}}'''\\|アイアン・パウンド\\|Aian Paundo}} is one of the Green Legion's executives, often acting as Green Grandee's spokesman. He first met Silver Crow after the latter had been mostly consumed by the Armor of Catastrophe and fought against him, being perplexed by his opponent's somewhat\\-remaining sense of self unlike previous wearer's of the Armor, and lost their duel. Pound showed Silver Crow no animosity after being confirmed to have been purified of the Armor, and suggested that he acquire the Theoretical Mirror ability to counter Metatron's laser attack.",
"Being what is known as a \"perfect match\" avatar, Pound is one of the few burst linkers whose avatar is designed to reflect their real\\-world skills, in his case, boxing. While this gives him the advantage of being able to apply his fighting skills perfectly, Pound finds it difficult to adjust to sudden melee attacks that defy standard boxing rules (such as being attacked from behind). In the film *Infinite Burst*, {{Voiced by2\\|Iron Pound\\|Naoya Nosaka\\|Austin Lee Matthews}}\n### Leoniz (Blue Legion)",

His large sword is one of the *Seven Arcs*, 'alpha' *The Impulse*. Although he is Cyan Pile's original Legion Master, for some reason he decides to not apply the Judgement Blow on him when he joins Nega Nebulus.

Their duel avatars both have exceedingly similar female samurai warrior appearances; the most prominent difference between them are the so\\-called horns of their helmets, with Cobalt having \"pigtails\" and Manganese having a \"ponytail\". They are loyal to the Blue King and they both have a crush on him. In the past, Sky Raker once hung them from the top of the Tokyo Government Office, which humiliated them. {{Voiced by2\\|Cobalt Blade\\|\\[\\[Misato Fukuen]]\\|Amanda C.

So long as Dusk Taker possesses an ability, the Burst Linker he took it from will be unable to use it. Using this ability, he has managed to incorporate body parts and weapons from other Burst Linkers into his own avatar, including a large scissor weapon on the right arm and a set of red tentacles replacing his left arm.

His avatar's body, made up of a series of black panels in a roughly humanoid shape, is able to separate panels to use as shields and offensive weapons. The color black is already used by Black Lotus so Black Vise is likely not the official name of the avatar, due to no two Avatars sharing the same color (hence why the second Red King is Scarlet rather than Red). {{Voiced by2\\|Black Vise\\|\\[\\[Nobuo Tobita]]\\|\\[\\[Matthew Mercer\\|Matt Mercer]]}}\n* {{nihongo\\|'''{{vanchor\\|Argon Array}}'''\\|アルゴン・アレイ\\|Arugon Arei}} is a level 8 Burst Linker, also known as \"Quad Eyes Analyst\".

Core humanitarian principles
----------------------------
### Humanity
The principle of humanity means that all humankind shall be treated humanely and equally in all circumstances by saving lives and alleviating suffering, while ensuring respect for the individual. It is the fundamental principle of humanitarian response. [Pictet (1979\) Humanity](http://www.icrc.org/Web/eng/siteeng0.nsf/html/EA08067453343B76C1256D2600383BC4?OpenDocument&Style=Custo_Final.3&View=defaultBody3) {{Webarchive\|url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20090310202532/http://www.icrc.org/web/eng/siteeng0\.nsf/html/EA08067453343B76C1256D2600383BC4?OpenDocument\&Style\=Custo\_Final.3\&View\=defaultBody3 \|date\=2009\-03\-10 }}. [Pictet's](/wiki/Jean_Pictet "Jean Pictet") commentary is focused on the Red Cross use of the principle of humanity, but includes more general comments relevant to the whole humanitarian sector.
The purpose of humanitarian action is to protect life and health, and ensure respect for human beings. It also promotes mutual understanding, cooperation, friendship and peace among all people. According to the [International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent](/wiki/International_Federation_of_Red_Cross_and_Red_Crescent_Societies "International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies") movement, the principle of humanity includes:
• It recalls the origin of the movement: a desire to assist without discrimination to the wounded during conflict.
• It recalls the double dimension of the movement: national and international one.
• To protect life and health
• To define the purpose of the movement {{cite web \|last1\=International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) \|title\=The seven Fundamental Principles \|url\=http://www.ifrc.org/en/who\-we\-are/vision\-and\-mission/the\-seven\-fundamental\-principles/ \|website\=International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies \|access\-date\=9 December 2018}}
#### Humanitarian Imperative
The [Code of Conduct for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and NGOs in Disaster Relief](/wiki/Code_of_Conduct_for_the_International_Red_Cross_and_Red_Crescent_Movement_and_NGOs_in_Disaster_Relief "Code of Conduct for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and NGOs in Disaster Relief") (RC/NGO Code) introduces the concept of the humanitarian imperative which expands the principle of humanity to include the right to receive and to give humanitarian assistance. It states the obligation of the international community "to provide humanitarian assistance wherever it is needed."For a critical view see: [Hugo Slim](/wiki/Hugo_Slim "Hugo Slim"), "Relief agencies and moral standing in war: principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and solidarity, Development in Practice, Volume 10, Numbers 3\-4/August 1, 2000
### Impartiality
Provision of [humanitarian assistance](/wiki/Humanitarian_assistance "Humanitarian assistance") must be [impartial](/wiki/Impartiality "Impartiality") and no discrimination on the basis of nationality, race, gender, religion, political opinion or class. It must be based on need alone. Priority must be given to the most urgent cases of distress.
To treat everyone the same way without consideration for the level of suffering or the urgency would not be equitable. Impartiality means that the only priority that can be set in dealing with people that need help must be based on need and the order of relief must correspond to the urgency.
For most non\-governmental humanitarian agencies (NGHAs), the principle of impartiality is unambiguous even if it is sometimes difficult to apply, especially in rapidly changing situations. However, it is no longer clear which organizations can claim to be humanitarian. For example, companies like PADCO, a USAID subcontractor, are sometimes seen as humanitarian NGOs. However, for the UN agencies, particularly where the UN is involved in peacekeeping activities as the result of a Security Council resolution, it is not clear if the UN is in a position to act in an impartial manner if one of the parties is in violation of terms of the UN Charter.(See: [Report of the Panel on United Nations Peacekeeping](/wiki/Report_of_the_Panel_on_United_Nations_Peacekeeping "Report of the Panel on United Nations Peacekeeping") (Brahimi report)pp. ix \& 9\){{cite web\|url\=https://www.un.org/peace/reports/peace\_operations/ \|title\=Report of the Panel on United Nations Peace Operations \|access\-date\=November 1, 2007 \|url\-status\=dead \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20071114055129/http://www.un.org/peace/reports/peace\_operations/ \|archive\-date\=November 14, 2007 }}
### Neutrality
For [International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement](/wiki/International_Red_Cross_and_Red_Crescent_Movement "International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement"), [neutrality](/wiki/Neutrality_%28philosophy%29 "Neutrality (philosophy)") means not to take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature.
The principle of neutrality was specifically addressed to the Red Cross Movement to prevent it from not only taking sides in a conflict, but not to "engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature."
Neutrality can also apply to humanitarian actions of a state. "Neutrality remains closely linked with the definition which introduced the concept into international law to designate the status of a State which decided to stand apart from an armed conflict. Consequently, its applications under positive law still depend on the criteria of abstention and impartiality which have characterized neutrality from the outset."{{cite web\|url\=http://www.icrc.org/web/eng/siteeng0\.nsf/html/57JN2Z\|title\=International Committee of the Red Cross\|date\=3 October 2013\|access\-date\=15 November 2006\|archive\-date\=10 August 2009\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20090810001247/http://www.icrc.org/web/eng/siteeng0\.nsf/html/57JN2Z\|url\-status\=dead}}
The application of the word neutrality to humanitarian aid delivered by UN agencies or even governments can be confusing. GA Resolution 46/182 proclaims the principle of neutrality, yet as an inter\-governmental political organization, the UN is often engaged in controversies of a political nature. According to this interpretation, the UN agency or a government can provide neutral humanitarian aid as long as it does it impartially, based upon need alone.(For a discussion of the concept of neutrality with respect to humanitarian response see: [Denise Plattner](http://www.icrc.org/web/eng/siteeng0.nsf/html/57JN2Z) {{Webarchive\|url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20090810001247/http://www.icrc.org/web/eng/siteeng0\.nsf/html/57JN2Z \|date\=2009\-08\-10 }})
Today, the word neutrality is widely used within the humanitarian community, usually to mean the provision of humanitarian aid in an impartial and independent manner, based on need alone. Few international NGOs have curtailed work on justice or human rights issues because of their commitment to neutrality.
#### Controversy on Neutrality
While neutrality is an important principle in the work of Humanitarian Aid, there is a long\-standing controversy in the field on how it should be implemented.{{Cite news\|last\=Slim\|first\=H.\|date\=August 27, 2020\|title\=You don't have to be neutral to be a good humanitarian.\|work\=The New Humanitarian\|url\=https://www.thenewhumanitarian.org/opinion/2020/08/27/humanitarian\-principles\-neutrality\|access\-date\=November 20, 2020}}
The humanitarian principle of neutrality was formally established in 1991 by the UN General Assembly resolution 46/182\. The principles were developed from the core principles used by the International Committee of the Red Cross and the National Red Cross/Red Crescent Societies.{{Cite web\|last\=OCHA\|date\=2012\|title\=What are Humanitarian Principles?\|url\=https://www.unocha.org/sites/dms/Documents/OOM\-humanitarianprinciples\_eng\_June12\.pdf}} OCHA, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, defines neutrality as, "Humanitarian actors must not take sides in hostilities or engage in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature". This means that humanitarian workers should not take sides in a conflict.{{Cite web\|last\=Doctors Without Borders (MSF)\|title\=The Practical Guide to Humanitarian Law\|url\=https://guide\-humanitarian\-law.org/content/article/3/humanitarian\-principles/\|access\-date\=November 23, 2020}} In a conservative interpretation, it also means that humanitarian workers do not speak out about what they see, even in the case of egregious human rights violations, including genocide. There are reasons that some prefer, and utilize, the more conservative interpretation of neutrality. First, some feel that a commitment to staying silent about what they witness allows them to access people in the most need of aid. Otherwise, leaders in areas of conflict may not permit humanitarian workers to access to provide aid.{{Cite web\|last\=Bordoloi\|first\=A\|date\=2020\-08\-18\|title\=How Important is Neutrality in Providing Humanitarian Assistance?\|url\=https://www.e\-ir.info/2020/08/18/how\-important\-is\-neutrality\-in\-providing\-humanitarian\-assistance/\|access\-date\=2020\-12\-13\|website\=E\-International Relations\|language\=en\-US}} Staying silent can also act as a measure of protection for aid workers, further ensuring that aid is provided to those most in need.{{Cite web\|last\=Devine\|first\=Carol\|date\=2018\-03\-11\|title\=Neutrality vs. impartiality: What's the difference?\|url\=https://www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/article/neutrality\-vs\-impartiality\-what%E2%80%99s\-difference\|access\-date\=2020\-12\-13\|website\=www.doctorswithoutborders.ca\|language\=en\|archive\-date\=2021\-08\-24\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20210824211326/https://www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/article/neutrality\-vs\-impartiality\-what%E2%80%99s\-difference\|url\-status\=dead}} Lastly, some argue that staying silent is a way to ensure no discrimination in humanitarian aid. For this argument, choosing sides during a conflict amounts to discrimination, and works against the fundamental principles of humanitarian aid.
The other side of the debate highlights the moral imperative to speak up against egregious violations of human rights. Organizations on this side tend to also promote an understanding of the difference between neutrality and impartiality, another humanitarian principle. MSF, for example, explains that impartiality ensures that aid workers only consider a person's need in giving aid, and do not discriminate against someone because of their "nationality, race, gender, identity, religious beliefs, class or political opinions".{{Cite web\|last\=Doctors Without Borders (MSF)\|date\=2016\-09\-22\|title\=Our charter\|url\=https://www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/our\-charter\|access\-date\=2020\-12\-13\|website\=www.doctorswithoutborders.ca\|language\=en}} On the other hand, neutrality "means not taking sides". However, MSF explicitly states that they will speak out about massive human rights violations, including genocide. They argue that the needs of the people experiencing mass violence come above the principle of neutrality. In this, they do not violate impartiality and continue to provide humanitarian aid to individuals who need it most, regardless of sides.
Two of the major players in this debate are the [International Committee of the Red Cross](/wiki/International_Committee_of_the_Red_Cross "International Committee of the Red Cross") (ICRC), and [Médecins Sans Frontières](/wiki/M%C3%A9decins_sans_Fronti%C3%A8res "Médecins sans Frontières") (MSF) (also known as Doctors Without Borders). Historically, the ICRC interpreted "neutrality" to mean *no public criticism*, unwilling to speak out about what they were seeing, in hopes of maintaining their ability to provide aid. A good example of this is [WWII](/wiki/World_War_II "World War II"), where ICRC did not publicize or condemn the Nazi genocide.{{Cite web\|last\=ICRC\|date\=2018\-11\-26\|title\=The ICRC during World War II\|url\=https://blogs.icrc.org/cross\-files/the\-icrc\-during\-world\-war\-ii/\|access\-date\=2020\-12\-13\|website\=Cross\-Files {{!}} ICRC Archives, audiovisual and library\|language\=en\-US}} This is part of what sparked the continuing debate. However, since the 1990s, the ICRC has amended its interpretation of neutrality and promoted public denouncement of serious violations of humanitarian law. MSF, on the other hand, never adopted the policy of absolute confidentiality, and considers "'bearing witness to the plight of victims as an additional measure of protection". While they uphold the principle of neutrality, they state that, "impartiality and neutrality are not synonymous with silence".{{Cite web\|last\=Doctors Without Borders (MSF)\|title\=Bearing witness\|url\=https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/who\-we\-are/principles/bearing\-witness\|access\-date\=2020\-12\-13\|website\=Doctors Without Borders \- USA\|language\=en}}
This issue is still widely contested in the humanitarian field. In a 2020 opinion piece, Hugo Slim argues that legally, operationally, and morally, it is acceptable for humanitarians to take sides. He states, "Neutral humanitarianism is not necessarily ethically desirable when we see people as enemies for good reasons. Is it reasonable to expect a Syrian aid worker to be neutral while her community is being bombed? Is it moral for humanitarians to stay neutral in the face of injustice or genocide?"
Others argue, "neutrality is very important in the provision of humanitarian assistance as it provides humanitarian actors, such as the ICRC, with the humanitarian space needed to provide relief to as many victims of crisis as possible without discrimination, whilst also allowing aid workers to carry out their duties safely and to the best of their abilities."
As the field of humanitarian aid continues to professionalize, so do the definitions and implementations of its principles.
### Independence
Humanitarian agencies must formulate and implement their own policies independently of government policies or actions. Humanitarian agencies, although there are auxiliaries in the humanitarian services and subject to the laws of their countries, must maintain their autonomy from political, economic, military or any other others and to be able at all times to act in accordance with the humanitarian principles.
Problems may arise because most NGHAs rely in varying degrees on government donors. Thus for some organizations it is difficult to maintain independence from their donors and not be confused in the field with governments who may be involved in the hostilities. The [ICRC](/wiki/International_Committee_of_the_Red_Cross "International Committee of the Red Cross"), has set the example for maintaining its independence (and neutrality) by raising its funds from governments through the use of separate annual appeals for headquarters costs and field operations.(see: [Joanna Macrae: NGOs: Has the 'N' gone missing?](http://www.redcross.int/EN/mag/magazine1996_3/18-19.html) [Randolph Kent: Footing the aid bill](http://www.redcross.int/EN/mag/magazine1998_2/2-7.html))

"As the field of humanitarian aid continues to professionalize, so do the definitions and implementations of its principles.",

History

### Benedictine monks
Glenstrup Abbey, dedicated to the [Virgin Mary](/wiki/Virgin_Mary "Virgin Mary"), was founded about 1125 on [Glenstrup Lake](/wiki/Glenstrup_Lake "Glenstrup Lake"), near the town of [Hobro](/wiki/Hobro "Hobro"), as a Benedictine monastery. The nobleman Svend Bo and his wife Inger Thott gave property and several farms to support it in the mid\-12th century. In some records it was nicknamed "Nørre Abbey". It was built on the site of a holy spring called Maria's Spring in medieval times. The location was a religious one in [Viking](/wiki/Viking "Viking") times and the abbey was most likely constructed on the site of a [stave chapel](/wiki/Stave_chapel "Stave chapel") built to Christianize the place in the late 11th century.
The monastery was built in the traditional three ranges attached to a church as a four\-sided enclosure. The massive [Romanesque](/wiki/Romanesque_architecture "Romanesque architecture") tower was an unusual feature on the west front of the abbey church.
Few records about the abbey survive. It is mentioned in a [papal bull](/wiki/Papal_bull "Papal bull") of the mid\-13th century, probably issued by [Pope Alexander III](/wiki/Pope_Alexander_III "Pope Alexander III").
At its height the abbey owned many farms, two mills, and several churches from which it collected tithes. It also owned the permanent rights to fish eels from the lake, where it built a permanent eel trap. It also had the rights to income from the fair or market held on [Lady Day](/wiki/Lady_Day "Lady Day"), which was held in nearby fields as late as 1552\.
The abbey however eventually entered a long slow decline which culminated in its closure in 1431\. Although records are sparse, this was apparently caused by a combination of lack of revenue and declining religious standards which meant that there were no novices. Ulrik, [Bishop of Aarhus](/wiki/Bishop_of_Aarhus "Bishop of Aarhus"), decided that the house had become unruly and that to maintain it would cost the diocese more than it brought in; the last Benedictine monks were therefore removed, and an effort made to interest another order in the premises.
### Glenstrup Charterhouse
At the suggestion of King [Eric of Pomerania](/wiki/Eric_of_Pomerania "Eric of Pomerania"), Bishop Ulrik gave the abbey and the income properties from the recently closed priory of Our Lady in [Randers](/wiki/Randers "Randers") to the [Carthusian Order](/wiki/Carthusian_Order "Carthusian Order") for the establishment of a new [charterhouse](/wiki/List_of_Carthusian_monasteries "List of Carthusian monasteries") in the [Diocese of Aarhus](/wiki/Diocese_of_Aarhus "Diocese of Aarhus") in 1429\. The Carthusians settled briefly at the vacant Glenstrup Abbey, creating Glenstrup Charterhouse, but abandoned the site by 1441\.
### Benedictine monks
Bishop Ulrik then tried to re\-establish a Benedictine community, but the attempt was short\-lived, and the Benedictines left Glenstrup for the last time before 1445\.
### Bridgettine nuns
Bishop Ulrik then gave the abbey and its attendant properties to the newly established [Bridgettine](/wiki/Bridgettine "Bridgettine") [Mariager Abbey](/wiki/Mariager_Abbey "Mariager Abbey"). The Bridgettines were seen in the mid\-15th century as a reforming order capable of restoring the religious zeal that many religious houses had lost and re\-establishing the strict standards which by this time many had abandoned. They were however only interested in the estates of Glenstrup, and demolished the abbey premises shortly after 1445, leaving only the church.

In May 2010 the railway was extended a distance of roughly {{convert\|1\+1/4\|miles\|1\|spell\=in\|adj\=on}} southwards to the site of the former Blaenavon High Level station (once the [London and North Western Railway](/wiki/London_and_North_Western_Railway "London and North Western Railway")'s station in the town).{{cite web\|url\=http://www.welshicons.org.uk/html/pontypool\_and\_blaenavon\_railwa.php \|title\=Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway \|publisher\=Welsh Icons \|access\-date\=2012\-11\-11 \|url\-status\=dead \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20120224230554/http://www.welshicons.org.uk/html/pontypool\_and\_blaenavon\_railwa.php \|archive\-date\=2012\-02\-24 }}
The Pontypool Blaenavon Railway Company was granted an Order under the Transport and Works Act to extend and operate the line.
Work, which started in late 2004, was initially complicated by difficulty in determining who built the railway. The order allowing most of the initial construction was the Brynmawr and Blaenavon Act of 1866, but a short section in the south was built under the LNWR (Wales \&c) Act of 1875\. Once the two months spent on this research was complete matters progressed rapidly so that a formal application to the Welsh Assembly was made on 3 May 2005\. By the end of June 2005 the application became public with a two\-month subsequent period allowed for formal objection.
By 28 November 2005, the inspector appointed by the [National Assembly for Wales](/wiki/National_Assembly_for_Wales "National Assembly for Wales"), Stuart B Wild, MRTPI, MCMI made his report to Parliament. Subsequently, a full meeting of the planning Decision Committee of the National Assembly for Wales, chaired by [Carwyn Jones](/wiki/Carwyn_Jones "Carwyn Jones"), Minister for Environment, Planning and Countryside, approved the application on 24 January 2006\.
The minister in turn wrote to Winckworth Sherwood on 31 January. The Order, called the Pontypool and Blaenavon (Phase 1\) Order 2006 was finally made on 20 June 2006 and came into force on 21 June 2006\.{{cite web\|url\=http://wales.gov.uk/legislation/subordinate/localstat/transpworks/PontypoolBlaenavonOrder2006e?lang\=en \|title\=Welsh Government \| The Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway (Phase I) Order 2006 \|publisher\=Wales.gov.uk \|date\=2006\-06\-20 \|access\-date\=2012\-11\-11 \|url\-status\=dead \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20120218104013/http://wales.gov.uk/legislation/subordinate/localstat/transpworks/PontypoolBlaenavonOrder2006e?lang\=en \|archive\-date\=2012\-02\-18 }}
The route southwards was made difficult by the need to refurbish a number of bridges en route. A substantial report issued by the Company to [Torfaen County Borough Council](/wiki/Torfaen_County_Borough_Council "Torfaen County Borough Council"), the successor to the [Welsh Development Agency](/wiki/Welsh_Development_Agency "Welsh Development Agency"), and other interested parties, estimated the lowest cost for the extension and the provision of a minimal station at High Level at between £235K and £395K, with cost of the bridges lying between £162K and £323K—by far the dominant item in the total cost.
The Company eventually achieved funding from the Welsh Assembly Government's Heads of the Valleys programme to meet much of the refurbishment costs. Blaenavon (High Level) station is close to the centre of Blaenavon town centre, and as a result, a substantial increase in passenger numbers is confidently expected. Blaenavon is the centre of the [World Heritage Site](/wiki/World_Heritage_Site "World Heritage Site") of the [Blaenavon Industrial Landscape](/wiki/Blaenavon_Industrial_Landscape "Blaenavon Industrial Landscape"), which includes [Big Pit National Coal Museum](/wiki/Big_Pit_National_Coal_Museum "Big Pit National Coal Museum") and [Blaenavon Ironworks](/wiki/Blaenavon_Ironworks "Blaenavon Ironworks").{{cite web\|url\=http://www.ggat.org.uk/cadw/historic\_landscape/Blaenavon/english/Blaenavon\_005\.htm \|title\=Blaenavon HLCA005 \|publisher\=Ggat.org.uk \|access\-date\=2012\-11\-11 \|url\-status\=dead \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20120421104343/http://www.ggat.org.uk/cadw/historic\_landscape/blaenavon/english/Blaenavon\_005\.htm \|archive\-date\=2012\-04\-21 }}
The presence of the railway there is expected to significantly add to the visitor experience and tourist potential of the town.
With Phase 1 achieved, the railway constructed a branch line into the National Mining Museum in 2011 before turning towards extending the line northwards, under a small road bridge and along the still intact track bed to Waunafon, the summit of the line which at {{convert\|1400\|ft\|m}} above sea level was the highest standard\-gauge station in both England and Wales.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.britishrailways.info/SUMMITS.htm \|title\=Summits \|publisher\=Britishrailways.info \|access\-date\=2012\-11\-11}}
There is also growing political interest for the preserved line to extend further again to [Brynmawr](/wiki/Brynmawr "Brynmawr") which takes the railway over the local authority boundary from [Torfaen](/wiki/Torfaen "Torfaen") into [Blaenau Gwent](/wiki/Blaenau_Gwent "Blaenau Gwent") and also the historic county boundary from Monmouthshire into Brecknockshire. However the emphasis with the local authority is that this phase will serve as a community link, rather than a tourist attraction.{{cite web \|url\=http://www.blaenau\-gwent.gov.uk/councilagendas/Executive%20Committee/EXECU0905A1/EXECU0905A1N8462/EXECU0905A1N8462b.pdf \|title\=Archived copy \|access\-date\=2014\-12\-13 \|url\-status\=dead \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20120217122611/http://www.blaenau\-gwent.gov.uk/councilagendas/Executive%20Committee/EXECU0905A1/EXECU0905A1N8462/EXECU0905A1N8462b.pdf \|archive\-date\=17 February 2012 \|df\=dmy\-all }}

Biography
---------
Antoine\-Noé Polier de Bottens descended from a noble family from the French [Rouergue](/wiki/Rouergue "Rouergue") that they left for Switzerland in the 16th century to escape persecution as [Huguenots](/wiki/Huguenot "Huguenot") and not have to abjure their [Protestant faith](/wiki/Protestantism "Protestantism"). The first known member of this family was Jean Polier, who died in 1602 after being Secretary of the Embassy of France in Geneva, a family which included scholars, professors and officers who served with distinction in the armies of most major powers.
He was the son of Jean Jacques de Polier de Bottens (1670\-1747\), [knight banneret](/wiki/Knight_banneret "Knight banneret") of Lausanne and his wife Salomée Jeanne Elisabeth Quisard (ca. 1670–1735\).[Genealogie der Familie](http://gw4.geneanet.org/cvpolier?lang=fr&p=antoine+noe+jean+antoine+noe&n=de+polier)
He first began to study theology in Lausanne then, in order to complete his studies, moved to [Leiden University](/wiki/Leiden_University "Leiden University"), where he obtained a doctorate in 1739\. Back in his home country, de Polier took over a parish in the city of Lausanne. From 1743 he was third, 1754 second, and 1765 first pastor in Lausanne, *Seigneur de Bottens, ministre du Saint\-Évangile, 1er pasteur des Églises de Lausanne*.
In 1759, he was head of the "Séminaire protestant français de Lausanne", and then in 1766 advanced as dean of the chapter.
Through an extensive correspondence with [Voltaire](/wiki/Voltaire "Voltaire") during the period 1753–1759, he was encouraged by the famous thinker to have his writings published by Marc\-Michel Bousquet's (1696–1762\) publishing company.
In the realm of his competences, de Polier wrote at least nine but unauthorized articles for the *[Encyclopédie](/wiki/Encyclop%C3%A9die "Encyclopédie")* by [Diderot](/wiki/Denis_Diderot "Denis Diderot") and [D'Alembert](/wiki/Jean_le_Rond_d%27Alembert "Jean le Rond d'Alembert"): Kijovn, Liturgie, Logomachie, Magicien, Magie, Malachbelus, Mânes, Maosim and Messie. Voltaire adopted these articles for his *[Dictionnaire philosophique](/wiki/Dictionnaire_philosophique "Dictionnaire philosophique")* (1764\), but modified extensively passages when they put in question beliefs on a literal interpretation of Scriptures.
On April 13, 1744, he married Elisabeth Antoinette Susanne de Lagier\-Pluvianes (1722\-1769\). Both had five daughters and four sons.

After Crawford left the store, one of Barksdale's employees followed him outside and hit him on the head with an ax handle. Crawford called for help, which drew the attention of Sheriff R.M. Burts. The officer arrested Crawford as a mob of angry whites was already beginning to accumulate.{{Cite book \| last \= Bethel \| first \= Elizabeth Rauh \| title \= Promiseland, a century of life in a Negro community \| publisher \= \[\[University of South Carolina Press]] \| year \= 1997 \| pages \= \[https://archive.org/details/promiselandcentu00beth/page/110 110]–111 \| url \= https://archive.org/details/promiselandcentu00beth \| url\-access \= registration }}
Crawford was held at the jail briefly, and released later that day on $15 bail. While Crawford was arranging bail, Barksdale was organizing a mob with McKinney Cann to whip Crawford and "cure him, if possible". Sheriff Burts allowed Crawford to exit from a side door, but the mob saw him anyway and pursued him into a cotton mill nearby, where Crawford took shelter in the boiler room. McKinny Cann entered the boiler room after Crawford, and Crawford, grabbing a hammer from some nearby tools, knocked the man unconscious. Although the mill workers attempted to stop it, Crawford was stabbed and severely beaten by the mob. Sheriff R.M. Burts appeared and arrested Crawford once more, much to the chagrin of the mob of whites. The sheriff could only get Crawford away from the mob by promising to the brothers of Cann that he would not try to sneak Crawford out of town before the full extent of McKinny Cann's injuries was known. As it happened, Cann was not badly hurt, although Crawford was. He was treated by physician C.C. Gamble, who also happened to be the mayor of Abbeville. Gamble announced that Crawford would likely die from his wounds.
Considering that Crawford might die before the mob could get to him, and concerned that the sheriff might spirit him out of town at 3 p.m., around 200 white men besieged the jail, captured and disarmed Sheriff Burts, and abducted Crawford.
Crawford was dragged down three flights of stairs amongst a cheering, bloodthirsty mob, where they proceeded to beat him with rocks, wagon boards, jump and spit on him. The mob then dragged him through the black section of town with a rope around his neck as a warning. The mob then stole a lumber wagon from a black driver and used it to take Crawford to a fairground nearby. Crawford, likely dead by that point, was still hanged from a tree, and armed whites riddled his body with bullets, rendering it to a "bloody pulp" by the "bloodthirsty" white mob that resented his wealth.["Black Property Owners in the South, 1790\-1915*, by Loren Schweninger, University of Illinois Press, 1990, pages 209 \- 235\.

{{See also\|List of UC Santa Barbara Gauchos men's soccer seasons}}
### Humble beginnings
UC Santa Barbara fielded its first men's soccer team in 1966 but didn't compete in the Big West Conference until 1983\.{{cite web \|url\=http://www.bigwest.org/sports/msoccer/info/record.pdf \|title\=Big West Conference Men's Soccer Records \|date\=December 2014 \|website\=bigwest.org \|page\=2 \|access\-date\=September 15, 2015}} The Gauchos had mixed success, with good seasons (1983, 1988\) alongside bad seasons (1991, 1992\), but never found prolonged stretches of success or failure.{{cite web \|url\=http://www.bigwest.org/sports/msoccer/info/record.pdf \|title\=Big West Conference Men's Soccer Records \|date\=December 2014 \|website\=bigwest.org \|pages\=2–3 \|access\-date\=September 15, 2015}}
The Big West Conference stopped sponsoring men's soccer after the 1991 season but re\-instituted it before the 2001 season. During this period, UCSB competed in the [Mountain Pacific Sports Federation](/wiki/Mountain_Pacific_Sports_Federation "Mountain Pacific Sports Federation"). The return of soccer to the Big West Conference marked the rough beginning of the Gauchos' greatest success to date.
### Vom Steeg era
In January 1999, UC Santa Barbara's athletic director, [Gary Cunningham](/wiki/Gary_Cunningham "Gary Cunningham"), was successfully able to hire former UCSB and professional soccer player, [Tim Vom Steeg](/wiki/Tim_Vom_Steeg "Tim Vom Steeg"), away from [Santa Barbara City College](/wiki/Santa_Barbara_City_College "Santa Barbara City College") to lead the Gauchos' program.{{Cite magazine \|year\=2013 \|title\=Tim Vom Steeg – Men's Soccer \|url\=http://gauchofund.com/contents/Dare\_Magazine\_Summer\-Fall13/files/assets/basic\-html/index.html\#39 \|page\=39 \|magazine\=DARE \|publisher\=\[\[UC Santa Barbara Gauchos]] \|access\-date\=April 7, 2016}}{{Cite news \|date\=January 16, 1999 \|title\=Friday's Sports Transactions \|url\=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1\-22250517\.html \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20160506002051/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1\-22250517\.html \|url\-status\=dead \|archive\-date\=May 6, 2016 \|publisher\=\[\[Associated Press]] \|access\-date\=April 7, 2016 }} The Gauchos won the 2001 Big West Conference championship for the first time in their history, but missed out on a trip to the NCAA Tournament since the Big West Conference was ineligible for an automatic bid.{{cite journal \|url\=http://ucsbgauchos.com/sports/m\-soccer/recaps/111601aaa.html \|title\=Men's Soccer Claims Big West Championship With 2\-0 Shutout Of UC Irvine \|date\=November 16, 2001 \|website\=ucsbgauchos.com \|access\-date\=September 15, 2015}} UC Santa Barbara have won eight Big West regular season championships (2001, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2013, 2014\) and have won the Big West tournament in 2010\.
#### 2004 NCAA Championships
The Gauchos burst onto the national scene in 2004 during their run at the [2004 NCAA Championship](/wiki/2004_Division_I_Men%27s_College_Cup "2004 Division I Men's College Cup"). The showing in this tournament established UC Santa Barbara as a force in college soccer, with UCSB marching to the finals before losing out on penalties to [Indiana](/wiki/Indiana_Hoosiers "Indiana Hoosiers").
#### 2006 NCAA Championships
{{main\|2006 UC Santa Barbara Gauchos men's soccer team}}

The crowning achievement of the men's soccer program took place in 2006, where UCSB won the [NCAA Division I Championship](/wiki/2006_Division_I_Men%27s_College_Cup "2006 Division I Men's College Cup") in a 2–1 decision over [UCLA](/wiki/UCLA_Bruins "UCLA Bruins"). It marked the program's first championship and only the university's second athletics championship (1979 Men's Water Polo).
At one point during the season, UCSB's record stood at 7–6 with dim prospects for postseason glory. However, a 5–1 stretch to close the regular season raised morale. The Gauchos made the NCAA Tournament as an unseeded team. During their championship run, the unseeded Gauchos defeated [San Diego State](/wiki/San_Diego_State_Aztecs "San Diego State Aztecs") at home, then \#1 ranked/\#3 seeded [SMU](/wiki/SMU_Mustangs "SMU Mustangs") followed by [Old Dominion](/wiki/Old_Dominion_University "Old Dominion University") on the road, and finally [Northwestern](/wiki/Northwestern_Wildcats "Northwestern Wildcats") before an NCAA season\-high 8,784 people at [Harder Stadium](/wiki/Harder_Stadium "Harder Stadium") in Santa Barbara. This propelled the Gauchos into the Final Four and earned them a trip to the College Cup held at [Hermann Stadium](/wiki/Hermann_Stadium "Hermann Stadium") in [St. Louis, Missouri](/wiki/St._Louis%2C_Missouri "St. Louis, Missouri").
UCSB needed extra time to defeat \#2 seed [Wake Forest](/wiki/Wake_Forest_Demon_Deacons "Wake Forest Demon Deacons") 0–0 (4–3 on penalties) in their first match of the College Cup. The final was a matchup between Southern California teams as UCLA advanced on a 4–0 win over [Virginia](/wiki/Virginia_Cavaliers "Virginia Cavaliers"). The \#8 ranked/\#8 seeded Bruins served as the final team to fall to the Gauchos by a score of 2–1 to complete UCSB's magical season.

Plot
----
Dale "Barbie" Barbara's ([Mike Vogel](/wiki/Mike_Vogel "Mike Vogel")) fate is left in the hands of James "Big Jim" Rennie ([Dean Norris](/wiki/Dean_Norris "Dean Norris")) and his son James "Junior" Rennie ([Alexander Koch](/wiki/Alexander_Koch_%28actor%29 "Alexander Koch (actor)")) after being [falsely charged with numerous crimes](/wiki/Exigent_Circumstances_%28Under_the_Dome%29%23Plot "Exigent Circumstances (Under the Dome)#Plot") committed by Big Jim. Barbie, wearing a noose around his neck, is waiting for Junior to pull the lever on the gallows releasing the trap\-door. However, the Dome emits a mysterious sound which scares Junior from pulling the lever and causes Sheriff Linda Esquivel ([Natalie Martinez](/wiki/Natalie_Martinez "Natalie Martinez")) to halt the execution. It turns out that the Dome has become magnetized, causing execution observers to pass out. Linda, Junior, Barbie, and Big Jim visit the Dome wall where its magnetization pulls all metal objects against it, including Barbie who is still in metal handcuffs. While freeing Barbie from the cuffs, Linda is killed by being crushed between the Dome's wall and an SUV pulled by the magnetization.
Meanwhile, Julia Shumway ([Rachelle Lefevre](/wiki/Rachelle_Lefevre "Rachelle Lefevre")) meets Sam Verdreaux ([Eddie Cahill](/wiki/Eddie_Cahill "Eddie Cahill")) while rescuing from drowning a mysterious teenage girl ([Grace Victoria Cox](/wiki/Grace_Victoria_Cox "Grace Victoria Cox")) who may hold clues to the origin of the Dome. Julia leaves Sam and the girl to look for Barbie. Later in the episode it is revealed that Sam is Junior's uncle and Big Jim's brother\-in\-law.
Determined to save the rest of the townspeople, Barbie meets Rebecca Pine ([Karla Crome](/wiki/Karla_Crome "Karla Crome")), a high school science teacher who has many theories about the Dome. Inside the McAlister's house Elinore "Norrie" Calvert\-Hill's ([Mackenzie Lintz](/wiki/Mackenzie_Lintz "Mackenzie Lintz")) mother, Carolyn Hill ([Aisha Hinds](/wiki/Aisha_Hinds "Aisha Hinds")), passes out from a large magnetization pulse. Fighting against "flying" dangerous metal objects, Barbie, Rebecca, Joe McAlister ([Colin Ford](/wiki/Colin_Ford "Colin Ford")), Angie McAlister ([Britt Robertson](/wiki/Britt_Robertson "Britt Robertson")), and Norrie pull Carolyn out of the house seconds before the house is torn apart from the pulse. While Barbie and Rebecca attempt to stop the pulses, the teens are convinced that the Dome is punishing them for not killing Big Jim when it told them to.
The Dome's magnetic force locks Big Jim in the fall\-out shelter where he is taunted by Dodee Weaver's ([Jolene Purdy](/wiki/Jolene_Purdy "Jolene Purdy")) ghost. Eventually he blows himself out with grenades but then sees Junior unconscious next to the gallows. Another large pulse has caused almost everyone inside the Dome to pass out, with the exception of Barbie, Julia, and Big Jim. Big Jim believes the Dome is telling him to sacrifice himself so he prepares to hang himself. He is unable to reach the lever while standing on the trap\-door so he asks Julia and Barbie for assistance. Julia accepts but then refuses to follow through, forcing Big Jim to break through the door himself. Julia prevents Big Jim's death by cutting the rope after she becomes convinced that killing Big Jim is not the answer. She believes the Dome instead wants the townspeople to stop killing each other. Once Julia cuts Big Jim loose, the townspeople begin to wake up from their unconscious states and the Dome releases all the metal objects.
Big Jim tries to gain the townspeople's trust back by appointing Phil Bushey (Nicholas Strong) as the new sheriff and inviting Joe, Angie, Norrie, and Carolyn to stay at his house. Junior then pulls Big Jim aside and tells him while he was unconscious he had a vision of his supposedly deceased mother Pauline Rennie ([Sherry Stringfield](/wiki/Sherry_Stringfield "Sherry Stringfield")). Big Jim tries to reassure him that it was just a dream but Junior refuses to believe him. Meanwhile, outside the dome it is revealed that Junior's mother is still alive, living single but concerned for her son under the dome.
Later that night Angie sees the girl who was rescued by Julia and follows her into the school where she is seen looking into a locker. The girl notices Angie and runs away. Angie looks inside the locker and is stunned by whatever is there. Then she is cut down by an unseen assailant. Her bloody hand\-print on the locker is the last thing we see.

Career as an architect and designer
-----------------------------------
Proetz was born in [Saint Louis, Missouri](/wiki/Saint_Louis%2C_Missouri "Saint Louis, Missouri"). He studied painting and design at the [Art Institute of Chicago](/wiki/Art_Institute_of_Chicago "Art Institute of Chicago"). His studies were interrupted by [World War I](/wiki/World_War_I "World War I"), during which he served in the [Navy](/wiki/United_States_Navy "United States Navy"), designing and constructing [cantonments](/wiki/Cantonments "Cantonments") and fire houses.{{cite book\|last1\=City Art Museum of Saint Louis\|title\=Architecture and Decorative Arts by Victor Proetz\|date\=1944\|publisher\=City Art Museum\|location\=Saint Louis, MO\|pages\=9–13}}
After the war he enrolled in the [Illinois Institute of Technology](/wiki/Illinois_Institute_of_Technology "Illinois Institute of Technology")'s architecture school and went on to win the [Emerson Prize](/wiki/Emerson_Prize "Emerson Prize").
In 1924 he returned to Saint Louis and formed an architectural firm with Ralph Cole Hall. Between the World Wars their firm executed numerous commissions in various parts of the country. These commissions notably included the additions and alterations to the [Hotel Adolphus](/wiki/Hotel_Adolphus "Hotel Adolphus") in [Dallas, Texas](/wiki/Dallas%2C_Texas "Dallas, Texas"), which gained such wide recognition that it was publicized abroad.
Proetz moved to [New York City](/wiki/New_York_City "New York City") in 1933 and during his time there produced forty designs for textile and wall paper.
In 1935 Proetz became vice\-president and chief designer of Cosden Inc. (a.k.a. Cosden House), a firm which practiced a combination of architecture and decoration in New York. It was owned by Eleanor Neves Cosden, the wife of a millionaire Oklahoma oilman. From 1936\-37 Proetz worked out of the firm's new [London](/wiki/London "London") office, on the first [penthouse](/wiki/Penthouse_apartment "Penthouse apartment") in London, for Lord and Lady [Louis Mountbatten](/wiki/Louis_Mountbatten%2C_1st_Earl_Mountbatten_of_Burma "Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma"). It was located in a newly constructed apartment building called Brook House; the name honored [Lady Louis Mountbatten](/wiki/Edwina_Mountbatten%2C_Countess_Mountbatten_of_Burma "Edwina Mountbatten, Countess Mountbatten of Burma")'s father's mansion, which had stood on the site and which was demolished by the Mountbattens to make way for the more modern structure. The apartment building was destroyed during [World War II](/wiki/World_War_II "World War II").
[Lord and Taylor](/wiki/Lord_and_Taylor "Lord and Taylor") invited him in 1943 to become director of their interior decorating department. He produced a group of full\- scale interiors displayed at the Lord and Taylor's store in New York. They won wide critical acclaim for the use of traditional materials material in combination with contemporary design, as well as the use on unconventional materials. One of the features most favorably remarked upon was the use of ordinary [butcher paper](/wiki/Butcher_paper "Butcher paper") as a veneer base for clear lacquer, and other similar devices. He was also commended for his spare use of the fine materials that normal people did not have access to during the war.
Proetz designed the [Brooklyn Museum](/wiki/Brooklyn_Museum "Brooklyn Museum")'s 19th\-century period rooms, the [porcelain](/wiki/Porcelain "Porcelain") gallery for the [Saint Louis Art Museum](/wiki/Saint_Louis_Art_Museum "Saint Louis Art Museum"),{{cite journal\|last1\=Proetz\|first1\=Victor\|title\=Private Museums and the Virtue of Curiosity\|journal\=The Journal of the American Association of Museums; Museum News\|date\=October 1962}} and a series of public rooms and offices for the [Smithsonian Museum](/wiki/Smithsonian_Museum "Smithsonian Museum")'s [National Portrait Gallery](/wiki/National_Portrait_Gallery_%28United_States%29 "National Portrait Gallery (United States)").{{cite news\|title\=Victor H. Proetz Dead; Curator at Smithsonian\|work\=Washington Post\|date\=23 August 1966}}
Through the years, Proetz continually broadened his repertoire. He produced over 2,000 designs for furniture, textiles, lighting fixtures, ceramics, glass, and other things, executed here and abroad. He did this all while continuing his architectural practice in which he completed commissions in New York, [Long Island](/wiki/Long_Island "Long Island"), [Philadelphia](/wiki/Philadelphia "Philadelphia"), [St. Louis](/wiki/Saint_Louis%2C_Missouri "Saint Louis, Missouri"), [Lake Forest](/wiki/Lake_Forest%2C_Illinois "Lake Forest, Illinois"), [Dallas](/wiki/Dallas%2C_Texas "Dallas, Texas"), [Palm Beach](/wiki/Palm_Beach%2C_Florida "Palm Beach, Florida"), [San Francisco](/wiki/San_Francisco "San Francisco"), and [London](/wiki/London "London"). He also designed interiors for yachts and the officers’ quarters on a British airplane carrier.

Playing career
--------------
### Junior
A native of [Richmond Hill, Ontario](/wiki/Richmond_Hill%2C_Ontario "Richmond Hill, Ontario"), Lomberg began his [junior hockey](/wiki/Junior_hockey "Junior hockey") career in the [Ontario Junior Hockey League](/wiki/Ontario_Junior_Hockey_League "Ontario Junior Hockey League") (OJHL), playing bit roles in parts of two seasons with the [North York Rangers](/wiki/North_York_Rangers "North York Rangers") and the [Upper Canada Patriots](/wiki/Upper_Canada_Patriots "Upper Canada Patriots") in [2009–10](/wiki/2009%E2%80%9310_CCHL_season "2009–10 CCHL season") and [2010–11](/wiki/2010%E2%80%9311_OJHL_season "2010–11 OJHL season"). From there, he moved on to play for the [Muskegon Lumberjacks](/wiki/Muskegon_Lumberjacks "Muskegon Lumberjacks") of the [United States Hockey League](/wiki/United_States_Hockey_League "United States Hockey League") (USHL) in the [2011–12 season](/wiki/2011%E2%80%9312_USHL_season "2011–12 USHL season"), emerging as the team's offensive leader with 40 points in 52 games, while adding 154 penalty minutes – enough for fifth in the league.{{Cite web\|url\=http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/top\_league.php?lid\=ushl1999\&sid\=2012\&leaguenm\=USHL\|title\=USHL 2011\-12 League Leaders\|website\=HockeyDB}}
Attending the [University of Maine](/wiki/University_of_Maine "University of Maine") beginning with the 2012–13 school year, Lomberg played for the [Maine Black Bears](/wiki/Maine_Black_Bears_men%27s_ice_hockey "Maine Black Bears men's ice hockey") for two seasons, accumulating 18 goals and 14 assists over 66 games with the team. However, following the 2013–14 season, Lomberg left the school after being suspended from the Black Bears due to an assault and disorderly conduct charge, the latter of which he pleaded guilty to.{{Cite web\|url\=http://bangordailynews.com/2014/08/05/news/bangor/suspended\-umaine\-hockey\-player\-pleads\-guilty\-to\-discorderly\-conduct\-charge/\|title\=Suspended UMaine hockey player to plead guilty to disorderly conduct charge\|last\=Harrison\|first\=Judy\|date\=August 9, 2014\|website\=Bangor Daily News\|access\-date\=January 29, 2018}}
Looking to get his hockey career back on track, Lomberg returned to the USHL for the [2014–15 season](/wiki/2014%E2%80%9315_USHL_season "2014–15 USHL season") with the [Youngstown Phantoms](/wiki/Youngstown_Phantoms "Youngstown Phantoms"). Lomberg scored 24 goals and 43 points in the regular season while playing with future [Winnipeg Jets](/wiki/Winnipeg_Jets "Winnipeg Jets") forward [Kyle Connor](/wiki/Kyle_Connor "Kyle Connor") and serving as team captain{{Cite news\|url\=https://www.sbncollegehockey.com/nchc/2015/9/4/9264209/ryan\-lomberg\-signs\-ahl\-deal\-stockton\-heat\-calgary\-flames\-affiliate\-miami\-maine\|title\=Former Black Bear Lomberg opts for AHL over Miami\|work\=SB Nation College Hockey\|access\-date\=2018\-01\-29}} to help lead the Phantoms to the [Anderson Cup](/wiki/Anderson_Cup "Anderson Cup").
Lomberg's play with the Phantoms caught the eye of the [Calgary Flames](/wiki/Calgary_Flames "Calgary Flames")' amateur scouting staff, earning him an invite to their annual fall development camp.{{Cite web\|url\=https://www.nhl.com/flames/news/flames\-announce\-development\-camp\-roster\-schedule/c\-773951\|title\=Flames announce development camp roster, schedule\|website\=Calgary Flames}} Lomberg impressed enough to earn a minor\-league deal with the [Stockton Heat](/wiki/Stockton_Heat "Stockton Heat"), Calgary's AHL affiliate. The deal was announced in the wake of speculation that Lomberg would join [Miami University](/wiki/Miami_University "Miami University")'s men's hockey team on a transfer from the University of Maine.
### Professional
Lomberg split his first professional season between the Heat and their [ECHL](/wiki/ECHL "ECHL") affiliate, the [Adirondack Thunder](/wiki/Adirondack_Thunder "Adirondack Thunder"). Scoring at nearly a point\-per\-game pace with the Flames, Lomberg earned extended time with the Heat throughout the system, going goalless with 3 assists and 42 penalty minutes in 15 AHL games during the [2015–16 AHL season](/wiki/2015%E2%80%9316_AHL_season "2015–16 AHL season").
Continuing with the Heat in [2016–17](/wiki/2016%E2%80%9317_AHL_season "2016–17 AHL season"), Lomberg emerged as a more multi\-dimensional player. In addition to his 127 penalty minutes, Lomberg scored 13 goals and 29 points in 68 games with the team, good for seventh and eighth on the team, respectively.

Impressed with his work ethic and determination, the [Calgary Flames](/wiki/Calgary_Flames "Calgary Flames") rewarded Lomberg with a two\-year entry\-level contract worth $710,000 per season in the NHL on March 17, 2017\.{{Cite news\|url\=https://calgaryherald.com/sports/hockey/nhl/calgary\-flames/calgary\-flames\-farmhand\-ryan\-lomberg\-earns\-two\-way\-contract\-with\-nhl\-club\|title\=Calgary Flames farmhand Ryan Lomberg earns two\-way contract with NHL club\|date\=2017\-03\-23\|work\=Calgary Herald\|access\-date\=2018\-01\-29\|language\=en\-US}} The deal came into effect at the beginning of the [2017–18 NHL season](/wiki/2017%E2%80%9318_NHL_season "2017–18 NHL season").
Looking to inject some energy into the lineup and forced to deal with the absence of [Jaromír Jágr](/wiki/Jarom%C3%ADr_J%C3%A1gr "Jaromír Jágr"), the Flames recalled Lomberg on January 14, 2018\.{{Cite news\|url\=http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/flames\-put\-jagr\-injured\-reserve\-call\-lomberg\-ahl/\|title\=Flames put Jagr on injured reserve, call up Lomberg from AHL \- Sportsnet.ca\|work\=Sportsnet.ca\|access\-date\=2018\-01\-29\|language\=en\-US}} He made his NHL debut eleven days later, on January 25, against the Edmonton Oilers. During the game, he fought the Oilers' [Zack Kassian](/wiki/Zack_Kassian "Zack Kassian"), and recorded 6:30 of total playing time.
After five seasons within the Flames organization, Lomberg left as a free agent to sign a two\-year, $1\.45 million contract with the [Florida Panthers](/wiki/Florida_Panthers "Florida Panthers") on October 9, 2020\.{{cite web\| url \= https://www.nhl.com/panthers/news/florida\-panthers\-agree\-to\-terms\-with\-forward\-ryan\-lomberg\-on\-a\-two\-year\-contract/c\-319403854 \| title \= Florida Panthers agree to terms with Ryan Lomberg \| publisher \= \[\[Florida Panthers]] \| date \= October 9, 2020 \| accessdate \= October 9, 2020}} He played 34 games for the Panthers during the [2020–21 season](/wiki/2020%E2%80%9321_NHL_season "2020–21 NHL season"), recording two goals and two assists in 34 games.

After helping the Panthers claim their first [Stanley Cup](/wiki/Stanley_Cup "Stanley Cup") in franchise history, Lomberg left as a free agent and was signed to a two\-year, $4 million contract in a return with his original club, the Calgary Flames, on July 1, 2024\.{{citeweb\| url \= https://www.nhl.com/flames/news/flames\-sign\-forward\-ryan\-lomberg \| title \= Flames sign forward Ryan Lomberg \| publisher \= \[\[Calgary Flames]] \| date \= July 1, 2024 \| accessdate \= July 1, 2024 }}

Biography
---------
### Early life
Ingram was born on 7 July 1823, at the [Rectory](/wiki/Rectory "Rectory") of [Templecarne](/wiki/Templecarne "Templecarne") ([Aghnahoo](/wiki/Aghnahoo "Aghnahoo")), just south of [Pettigo](/wiki/Pettigo "Pettigo"), a village in south\-east [County Donegal](/wiki/County_Donegal "County Donegal"), Ireland into an [Ulster Scots](/wiki/Ulster_Scots_people "Ulster Scots people") family.{{cite book\|title\=Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy, Section C\|chapter\=Appendix: Biographical Notices of John Kells Ingram and Robert Atkinson\|publisher\=Royal Irish Academy\|date\=1908\|volume\=27\|pages \= 1–19\|jstor \= 25502772}} (1908/1909\).
Although his ancestry was [Scottish Presbyterian](/wiki/Scottish_Presbyterian "Scottish Presbyterian"), Ingram's grandparents had converted to [Anglicanism](/wiki/Anglicanism "Anglicanism"). His grandfather Captain John Ingram ran a [linen](/wiki/Linen "Linen") [mill](/wiki/Factory "Factory") and had a business as a linen [bleacher](/wiki/Bleacher "Bleacher") in [Glennane](/wiki/Glennane "Glennane") ([Lisdrumhure](/wiki/Lisdrumhure "Lisdrumhure")). He was active in the [Volunteer Movement](/wiki/Irish_Volunteers_%2818th_century%29 "Irish Volunteers (18th century)") and financed in 1782 a volunteer corps in the County Armagh, known as [Lisdrumhure Volunteers](/wiki/Lisdrumhure_Volunteers "Lisdrumhure Volunteers") or [Mountnorris Volunteers](/wiki/Mountnorris_Volunteers "Mountnorris Volunteers").
Ingram's father, Rev. William Ingram, a scholar at Trinity College Dublin, rector of the [Church of Ireland](/wiki/Church_of_Ireland "Church of Ireland") and curate of [Templecarne Parish](/wiki/Templecarne_Parish "Templecarne Parish") ([Diocese of Clogher](/wiki/Diocese_of_Clogher_%28Church_of_Ireland%29 "Diocese of Clogher (Church of Ireland)")), married Elizabeth Cooke in 1817\.
Ingram's father died in 1829 and his mother then moved with the family to [Newry](/wiki/Newry "Newry"), to guarantee the best possible education for her five children. Ingram first went to Mr. Lyons' School in [Newry](/wiki/Newry "Newry") from 1829 to 1837\. He also attended [Drogheda Grammar School](/wiki/Drogheda_Grammar_School "Drogheda Grammar School").
In 1840, at the age of sixteen, Ingram published sonnets in the *[Dublin University Magazine](/wiki/Dublin_University_Magazine "Dublin University Magazine")*.
### Academic career
On 13 October 1837, he matriculated at [Trinity College Dublin](/wiki/Trinity_College_Dublin "Trinity College Dublin"). He was [elected a Scholar](/wiki/List_of_Scholars_of_Trinity_College_Dublin "List of Scholars of Trinity College Dublin") of the College in 1840, graduated with a BA in mathematics in 1842, and was awarded an MA in 1850\. He was a member of the [College Historical Society](/wiki/College_Historical_Society "College Historical Society").{{Cite journal\|url\=https://www.jstor.org/stable/23041188\|access\-date\=2020\-09\-02\|journal\=Hermathena\|jstor\=23041188\|language\=en\|title\=John Kells Ingram (1823\-1907\)\|last1\=Barrett\|first1\=Sean D.\|year\=1998\|issue\=164\|pages\=5–30}} His early scholarly publications (1842\-1847\) were in mathematics. He had a distinguished career at Trinity, spanning over fifty\-five years, as a student, fellow and professor, successively of [Oratory](/wiki/Eloquence "Eloquence"), [English Literature](/wiki/English_Literature "English Literature"), [Jurisprudence](/wiki/Jurisprudence "Jurisprudence") and [Greek](/wiki/Greek_language "Greek language"), [LL.D](/wiki/LL.D "LL.D"), [FTCD](/wiki/Fellow "Fellow")), subsequently becoming the College Librarian and ultimately its Vice Provost.[John Kells Ingram, Trinity Economic Paper Series, by Sean D. Barrett, Trinity College, Dublin](https://www.tcd.ie/Economics/TEP/1999_papers/TEPNo9SB99.pdf)
During his life, Ingram was President of the Library Association of Great Britain, co\-founder of the [National Library of Ireland](/wiki/National_Library_of_Ireland "National Library of Ireland"), National Library trustee, Vice\-president of the [Library Association of Ireland](/wiki/Library_Association_of_Ireland "Library Association of Ireland"), a member of the [Royal Irish Academy](/wiki/Royal_Irish_Academy "Royal Irish Academy"), co\-founder of the Dublin Statistical Society, honorary member of the [American Economic Association](/wiki/American_Economic_Association "American Economic Association"), member of the [English historical school of economics](/wiki/English_historical_school_of_economics "English historical school of economics") and co\-founder of the *[Hermathena](/wiki/Hermathena_%28journal%29 "Hermathena (journal)")* publication.
### *The Memory of the Dead*
One evening in March 1843 Ingram wrote the poem for which he is best remembered, a political ballad called "The Memory of the Dead" (better known as "Who Fears to Speak of '98"; or "Ninety Eight"), in honour of the [Irish Rebellion of 1798](/wiki/Irish_Rebellion_of_1798 "Irish Rebellion of 1798") led by the [United Irishmen](/wiki/United_Irishmen "United Irishmen"). On that evening, he was in company of his like\-minded friends John O'Regan, Thomas O'Regan and [George Ferdinand Shaw](/wiki/George_Ferdinand_Shaw "George Ferdinand Shaw"), all fellow Protestant students at TCD. They spent the evening discussing the 1798 Rebellion when briefly [Catholics](/wiki/Catholicism_in_Ireland "Catholicism in Ireland") and [Protestants](/wiki/Protestantism_in_Ireland "Protestantism in Ireland") (mainly [Presbyterians](/wiki/Presbyterianism "Presbyterianism") and [Methodists](/wiki/Methodism "Methodism")) united to try to overturn the [Protestant Ascendancy](/wiki/Protestant_Ascendancy "Protestant Ascendancy") in Ireland from which all of them were excluded. They were stirred by the lack of regard shown for the Irish rebels of 1798 by the contemporary nationalist movement, led by [Daniel O'Connell](/wiki/D%C3%B3nal_%C3%93_Conaill "Dónal Ó Conaill").
The poem was published anonymously on 1 April 1843 in [Thomas Davis](/wiki/Thomas_Davis_%28Young_Irelander%29 "Thomas Davis (Young Irelander)")'s *[The Nation Newspaper](/wiki/The_Nation_%28Irish_newspaper%29 "The Nation (Irish newspaper)")* although in fact its authorship was an open secret in Dublin.[Bibliography of the writings of John Kells Ingram (1823\-1907\) with a brief chronology](https://archive.org/details/bibliographyofwr00npnp) Compiled For Cumann Na Leabharlann, Dublin, 1907\-1908 *The Nation* was the publication of the radical and bourgeois\-radical wing of Ó Conaill's movement for "repeal" of the Act of Union between Ireland and Great Britain. Despite this poem, Ingram showed no nationalist sympathies at any time, maintaining that Ireland was not ready for self\-government. "'The Memory of the Dead' was my only contribution to the 'Nation'," commented Ingram later.*Sonnets and Other Poems*, p. 9 Nevertheless, before he died, Ingram made a manuscript copy of "Ninety Eight", proclaiming that he would always defend brave men who opposed tyranny.[John Kells Ingram and "The Memory of the Dead" ("Ninety Eight")](http://www.workersliberty.org/story/2008/07/01/memory-dead) \- Text of Ingram's "The Memory of the Dead" with commentary, workersliberty.org
It was set to music for voice and piano in 1845 by [John Edward Pigot](/wiki/John_Edward_Pigot "John Edward Pigot"). Ingram's ballad was translated into Latin by [Robert Yelverton Tyrrell](/wiki/Robert_Yelverton_Tyrrell "Robert Yelverton Tyrrell") and into Irish by Dr. [Douglas Hyde](/wiki/Douglas_Hyde "Douglas Hyde"). The song became a popular Irish nationalist anthem. It is one of the best\-known of Irish Republican songs and often played by the piper at Republican funerals.{{Citation needed\|date\=September 2010}}
### Scholarly works
Ingram was one of the writers selected to write "scholars" entries for the ninth edition, the tenth edition and the eleventh editions of the *[Encyclopædia Britannica](/wiki/Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica "Encyclopædia Britannica")*. He wrote the entries in the *Encyclopædia Britannica* on [Pierre Leroux](/wiki/Pierre_Leroux "Pierre Leroux"), [Cliffe Leslie](/wiki/Thomas_Edward_Cliffe_Leslie "Thomas Edward Cliffe Leslie"), [John Ramsay McCulloch](/wiki/John_Ramsay_McCulloch "John Ramsay McCulloch"),[Important Contributors to the Britannica, 9th and 10th Editions](http://www.1902encyclopedia.com/contributors.html), 1902encyclopedia.com. Retrieved 16 April 2017\. [Georg Ludwig von Maurer](/wiki/Georg_Ludwig_von_Maurer "Georg Ludwig von Maurer"), [William Petty](/wiki/William_Petty "William Petty"), [Francois Quesnay](/wiki/Francois_Quesnay "Francois Quesnay"), and [Karl Heinrich Rau](/wiki/Karl_Heinrich_Rau "Karl Heinrich Rau").
In his later career Ingram became interested in the nascent disciplines of sociology and economics. He was not a trained economist but rather a sociologist and his early economic writings dealt mainly with the [Poor Law](/wiki/Poor_Law "Poor Law"). He was a spokesman for historical economics in Britain and influenced many contemporary social and economic thinkers at that time in Great Britain, the United States, and continental Europe.{{citation needed\|date\=February 2013}} His attack on classical economics encompassed its methodology and its conclusions.{{Citation needed\|date\=September 2012}} Ingram played an important role in the English [Methodenstreit](/wiki/Methodenstreit "Methodenstreit") (Battle of methods), (closely associated with the [Werturteilsstreit](/wiki/Werturteilsstreit "Werturteilsstreit")). In his 1888 *History of Political Economy* he used the term "[economic man](/wiki/Economic_man "Economic man")" as a critical description of the human being as conceived by economic theory, and he may have coined the term. From 1891 to 1896 Ingram wrote entries in *[Palgrave's Dictionary of Economics](/wiki/The_New_Palgrave_Dictionary_of_Economics "The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics")*. He was president of the [Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland](/wiki/Statistical_and_Social_Inquiry_Society_of_Ireland "Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland") between 1878 and 1880 and took over as President of the [Royal Irish Academy](/wiki/Royal_Irish_Academy "Royal Irish Academy") when [William Reeves](/wiki/William_Reeves_%28bishop%29 "William Reeves (bishop)") died in 1892\.{{cite web\| url \= http://www.newulsterbiography.co.uk/index.php/home/viewPerson/732\| title\= John Kells Ingram (1823 \- 1907\): Academic and economist\| publisher\= Dictionary of Ulster Biography\|access\-date\= 1 November 2014}}
He also wrote on labour and trade issues, and connecting these to slavery, including [domestic slavery](/wiki/Domestic_slavery "Domestic slavery") in Europe from ancient times onward. His book, *A History of Slavery and Serfdom* was extremely successful, being translated into eleven languages and serving as a textbook till the 1920s.{{citation needed\|date\=February 2013}} He also wrote the entries on [sumptuary laws](/wiki/Sumptuary_laws "Sumptuary laws") and [slavery](/wiki/Slavery "Slavery") in the 9th, 10th and 11th editions of the *Encyclopædia Britannica*. Paul O'Higgins attributes the phrase "labour is not a commodity" to Ingram, who used it in 1880 during a Dublin meeting of the British [Trades Union Congress](/wiki/Trades_Union_Congress "Trades Union Congress"). It appears as a principle in the preamble to the [International Labour Organization](/wiki/International_Labour_Organization "International Labour Organization")'s founding documents.O'Higgins, P., ['Labour is not a Commodity' — an Irish Contribution to International Labour Law'](https://academic.oup.com/ilj/article-abstract/26/3/225/664238) (1997\) 26(3\) Industrial Law Journal 225\-234
Ingram was active in the fields of mathematics, archaeology, the classics, economics, etymology, law, literature, medieval manuscripts, poetry, religious speculation and Shakespearean criticism. He wrote extensively on Shakespearean syntax.{{citation needed\|date\=February 2013}} He worked on advancing the science of classical etymology, notably in his *Greek and Latin Etymology in England*.
He also wrote papers on Mexican antiques and contributed papers to mathematical societies on [differential calculus](/wiki/Differential_calculus "Differential calculus") and [geometrical analysis](/wiki/Geometric_analysis "Geometric analysis").{{citation needed\|date\=February 2013}}

"In his later career Ingram became interested in the nascent disciplines of sociology and economics. He was not a trained economist but rather a sociologist and his early economic writings dealt mainly with the [Poor Law](/wiki/Poor_Law \"Poor Law\"). He was a spokesman for historical economics in Britain and influenced many contemporary social and economic thinkers at that time in Great Britain, the United States, and continental Europe.{{citation needed\\|date\\=February 2013}} His attack on classical economics encompassed its methodology and its conclusions.{{Citation needed\\|date\\=September 2012}} Ingram played an important role in the English [Methodenstreit](/wiki/Methodenstreit \"Methodenstreit\") (Battle of methods), (closely associated with the [Werturteilsstreit](/wiki/Werturteilsstreit \"Werturteilsstreit\")). In his 1888 *History of Political Economy* he used the term \"[economic man](/wiki/Economic_man \"Economic man\")\" as a critical description of the human being as conceived by economic theory, and he may have coined the term. From 1891 to 1896 Ingram wrote entries in *[Palgrave's Dictionary of Economics](/wiki/The_New_Palgrave_Dictionary_of_Economics \"The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics\")*.

History
-------
Benin hosted its first official international match on 8 November 1959, a 1–0 loss to [Nigeria](/wiki/Nigeria_national_football_team "Nigeria national football team"). The match was played while the country was still a French dependency, prior to its independence on 1 August 1960\.
Benin qualified for the [2004 Africa Cup of Nations](/wiki/2004_Africa_Cup_of_Nations "2004 Africa Cup of Nations"), their first AFCON in history. However, they lost all three matches to [South Africa](/wiki/South_Africa_national_football_team "South Africa national football team"), [Morocco](/wiki/Morocco_national_football_team "Morocco national football team") and again Nigeria. Benin's only goal was scored by [Moussa Latoundji](/wiki/Moussa_Latoundji "Moussa Latoundji") against Nigeria.
History repeated itself again in [2008](/wiki/2008_Africa_Cup_of_Nations "2008 Africa Cup of Nations"), when Benin lost to [Mali](/wiki/Mali_national_football_team "Mali national football team"), the [Ivory Coast](/wiki/Ivory_Coast_national_football_team "Ivory Coast national football team") and yet again Nigeria. They also scored only once through [Razak Omotoyossi](/wiki/Razak_Omotoyossi "Razak Omotoyossi") in the 4–1 defeat to the Ivory Coast.
In 2010, the [Benin Football Federation](/wiki/Benin_Football_Federation "Benin Football Federation")'s president [Anjorin Moucharaf](/wiki/Anjorin_Moucharaf "Anjorin Moucharaf") was arrested. Members of the BFF decried the imprisonment, saying that Moucharaf had been unjustly accused of fraud, leading to 12 of the 15 board members resigning in protest.{{cite web \|last1\=Kobo \|first1\=Kingsley \|title\=Fifa back detained Benin FA boss Anjorin Moucharaf \|url\=https://www.goal.com/en/news/89/africa/2011/08/14/2619508/fifa\-back\-detained\-benin\-fa\-boss\-anjorin\-moucharaf \|website\=Goal \|access\-date\=2021\-11\-09 \|archive\-date\=2021\-11\-09 \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20211109122123/https://www.goal.com/en/news/89/africa/2011/08/14/2619508/fifa\-back\-detained\-benin\-fa\-boss\-anjorin\-moucharaf \|url\-status\=live }}

In the third round of the qualifiers, Benin finished second in their group, three points behind [Ghana](/wiki/Ghana_national_football_team "Ghana national football team"). Despite not qualifying for the [2010 FIFA World Cup](/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup "2010 FIFA World Cup"), Benin's second\-place finish ensured their qualification to the [2010 Africa Cup of Nations](/wiki/2010_Africa_Cup_of_Nations "2010 Africa Cup of Nations"), where they drew against [Mozambique](/wiki/Mozambique_national_football_team "Mozambique national football team") to receive their first ever point at the AFCON. The Squirrels then lost their other two matches against Nigeria and defending champions [Egypt](/wiki/Egypt_national_football_team "Egypt national football team") to finish third in their group and fail to progress to the next round. After this performance, on 8 February 2010, the BFF, not willing to accept a group stage exit for the third time in a row, dissolved the national team and sacked coach [Michel Dussuyer](/wiki/Michel_Dussuyer "Michel Dussuyer"), as well as the rest of his staff.{{Cite news \|url\=http://www.spiegel.de/sport/fussball/0,1518,676907,00\.html \|title\=Benin löst Nationalelf auf \|newspaper\=Der Spiegel \|date\=9 February 2010 \|access\-date\=2010\-02\-10 \|archive\-date\=2011\-06\-04 \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604113146/http://www.spiegel.de/sport/fussball/0,1518,676907,00\.html \|url\-status\=live }}{{cite web\|url\=http://www.febefoot.net/881\-benin\-les\-ecureuils\-et\-michel\-dussuyer\-sanctionnes\-.htm\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20100211145208/http://www.febefoot.net/881\-benin\-les\-ecureuils\-et\-michel\-dussuyer\-sanctionnes\-.htm\|title\=Bénin: Les Ecureuils et Michel DUSSUYER sanctionnés\|archive\-date\=11 February 2010\|access\-date\=21 July 2015\|language\=fr\|publisher\=Fédération Béninoise de Football}} Dussuyer was unaware that he had been sacked and claimed that he had not done anything wrong.{{cite web\|url\=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/8502851\.stm\|title\=Benin coach Michel Dussuyer 'unaware' of sacking\|date\=9 February 2010\|access\-date\=21 July 2015\|publisher\=BBC Sport\|archive\-date\=23 January 2023\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20230123060654/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/8502851\.stm\|url\-status\=live}} The team became an innocent victim of enraged African countries failing to accept defeat at major tournaments and disbanding their national teams in the early 2010s, along with Nigeria, the team that Benin have met in the group stage of all three of their AFCONs before their disbandment, which were suspended for two years by President [Goodluck Jonathan](/wiki/Goodluck_Jonathan "Goodluck Jonathan") after the [2010 FIFA World Cup](/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup "2010 FIFA World Cup").
In the second round of the [2014 World Cup qualifiers](/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%28CAF%29 "2014 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF)"), Benin were placed in Group H with [Algeria](/wiki/Algeria_national_football_team "Algeria national football team"), [Mali](/wiki/Mali_national_football_team "Mali national football team") and [Rwanda](/wiki/Rwanda_national_football_team "Rwanda national football team"). They finished third in their group, failing to advance to the next round.
On 9 May 2016, FIFA suspended Benin for unknown reasons.
At the [2019 Africa Cup of Nations](/wiki/2019_Africa_Cup_of_Nations "2019 Africa Cup of Nations"), despite advancing only as the third\-best third\-placed team, Benin, reunited with Dussuyer, reached the quarter\-finals, where they lost to eventual runners\-up [Senegal](/wiki/Senegal_national_football_team "Senegal national football team"), with a shock win over tournament favourites [Morocco](/wiki/Morocco_national_football_team "Morocco national football team") on penalties.

Plot
----
The Russo family, Harper, and Alex's boyfriend, Mason, arrange "another" congratulations party for Justin for taking over WizTech. A student named Dominic visits the family to inform them that Justin is too busy to get away from work, and flirts with Alex, which makes Mason jealous. Jerry announces a family reunion in [Tuscany](/wiki/Tuscany "Tuscany"), [Italy](/wiki/Italy "Italy"). Alex creates a portal between the villa in Italy and their loft back in New York to ease the travel, but Jerry scolds her for being immaturely selfish.
After a talk with Dominic, Alex tries to prove that she is not the irresponsible wizard she used to be by casting a spell to expel the negative parts of her personality, but accidentally creates an evil reflection of herself in a mirror. Evil Alex escapes the mirror and runs to Italy. Meanwhile, Max gets the attention of an Italian girl and tries to find her, unaware that she is his cousin, and Jerry and Theresa follow to get him back. They accidentally meet with their cousins and the reunion begins early.
Evil Alex shrinks and imprisons Max, Jerry, and Theresa with the help of another anonymous wizard, who is later revealed to be Dominic, the nephew of Gorog, the former leader of the Angels of Darkness. Harper and Alex follow them to the [Leaning Tower of Pisa](/wiki/Leaning_Tower_of_Pisa "Leaning Tower of Pisa"), where Harper is also captured. Dominic wants to use Alex's magic to capture all mortals in tiny beads through a spell replicator installed at the top of the tower so he can take over the world. When she refuses, Evil Alex goes to capture Mason.
To save her family, Alex goes through with Dominic's plan, activating his machine. Before she is able to turn on Dominic and reverse the spell, she is instantly transported away and found guilty of attempting to destroy the mortal world, with Dominic's twisted testimony. She is later saved by Mason who manages to destroy her jail cell. The two race back to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, where evil Alex and good Alex end up in a battle by magic and combat at the Russo house and the Jumbotron, while Mason fights Dominic. Alex manages to recover the bracelet from Evil Alex's hands.
When Dominic knocks out Mason, Alex is about to defeat him. Evil Alex and Dominic join forces against her, but she manages to destroy one of them and free her family. After that, Mason pushes Dominic off the tower to his death. Alex then gives up her powers to defeat her evil self, destroying the machine. In the end, Alex is given her magic back after accepting that she doesn't truly need it. The Russo family, Harper and Mason enjoy the rest of their family reunion before heading back to the Sub Station.
The movie ends with Alex telling Harper that they should have to stay in Italy for a while, due to Jerry and Theresa getting upset about their living room being destroyed as a result of the battle between Alex and her evil self.

[thumb\|Quarrymen at Braich Goch quarry, 1890](/wiki/File:Braich_Goch_1890.png "Braich Goch 1890.png")
Slate quarrying in the Corris district dates back to the 14th century when the [Foel Grochan quarry](/wiki/Aberllefenni_Slate_Quarry "Aberllefenni Slate Quarry") at [Aberllefenni](/wiki/Aberllefenni "Aberllefenni") is believed to have first been worked.
In 1787, David Williams leased the quarrying and mineral rights at Gaewern and Braich Goch from John Edwards, representing the [Vane Estate](/wiki/George_Vane-Tempest%2C_5th_Marquess_of_Londonderry%23Business_interests "George Vane-Tempest, 5th Marquess of Londonderry#Business interests"). It is not certain when quarrying began on this land, but certainly slate extraction had started by 1812\. The early mining took place at Gaewern, the northern of the two quarry areas, under the auspices of the **Merionethshire Slate Company**.
It was not until 1836 that quarrying began at Braich Goch proper, under the name of the **North Wales Slate \& Slab Company**. By 1838, the lease, still from (now) Sir John Edwards, was expanded. In 1840 an [incline](/wiki/Cable_railway "Cable railway") was constructed to ease the movement of slate within the quarry. In 1843, the company surrendered the lease to Arthur Causton a [civil engineer](/wiki/Civil_engineer "Civil engineer"). He obtained a new lease directly from the Vanes Estate, thus removing the subleasing arrangement with John Edwards.
Meanwhile, the neighbouring **Gaewern quarry** was struggling and in 1848, the Merionethshire Slate Company was dissolved after the discovery of serious financial mismanagement. In 1853, the property was taken over by a company known as **Alltgoed Consolls,** and they restarted quarrying at Gaewern.
In 1851, new partners were brought into the North Wales Slate \& Slab Company, which was reformed under the name **Braich Goch Slate and Slab Company**. However, an attempted flotation of the company failed to attract enough investors and as a result, the partners were brought out by John Rowlands, who owned Gaewern and Ratgoed quarries. At this time Braich Goch quarry included two waterwheels, six planning machines, nine sawing engines, {{convert\|2\|miles}} of tramways and inclined planes, and six hand sawing machines, amongst other equipment.
By 1856, shareholders in the Alltgoed Consols were increasingly discontented due to the lack of profits from the three quarries.
In 1859, the Corris Tramroad opened, connecting the Corris district with Machynlleth and the [River Dyfi](/wiki/Afon_Dyfi "Afon Dyfi") beyond. The Birley family saw the opportunity of this new transportation route for improving the profitability of the local quarries and purchased the lease for Braich Goch from Rowlands, forming **Braich Goch Slate Quarry Ltd**. Rowlands continued with Gaewern, though without financial success and in 1868 sold it to the Talyllyn Slate Company. By that same year, employment at Braich Goch had grown to over 200 men.{{cite book\|author\=Richards, Alun John \|title\=Slate Quarrying at Corris \|publisher\=Carreg Gwalch \|isbn\=0\-86381\-279\-1 \|year\=1994}}
In 1880, Braichgoch took over Gaewern quarry, and the two were worked as a single operation. By the mid\-1890s over 6,000 tons of finished slate were being produced and over 350 workers were employed. Braichgoch was the largest slate quarry south of Blaenau Ffestiniog.{{cite book\|first\=Alun John \|last\=Richards \|title\=The Slate Regions of North and Mid Wales and Their Railways \|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=q\_bcAAAACAAJ \|year\=1999 \|publisher\=Gwasg Carreg Gwalch \|isbn\=978\-0\-86381\-552\-2}}
The downturn in demand for slate in the late 1890s led to Braichgoch closing in 1906\. It was revived after the [First World War](/wiki/First_World_War "First World War") and continued working sporadically until its final closure in 1971\.

Organizational structure
------------------------
The PAA is a member of the [International Federation of Associations of Anatomists](/wiki/International_Federation_of_Associations_of_Anatomists "International Federation of Associations of Anatomists") (IFAA).[Official Web IFAA](http://www.ifaa.net)
The government of the Pan American Association of Anatomy consists of the general assembly (performed with partners in the congress), the board of directors (composed by advisers or delegates from each country) and the executive committee (headed by the president, who is elected by the general assembly).
There are two counselors or delegates for each American country concerned; one as owner and another alternate.
When the mandate of the president of the executive committee is finished, he is named honorary president of the association and he automatically joins the Honorary Presidents Committee of the PAA, which works with the executive committee.
The headquarters of the congresses vary from one congress to another, but they are always within the Americas and in a rotative form. The designation of the host country is resolved at the general assembly by a vote of its partners and it is usually held every 3 years.
Since 2013, the association executive committee has been chaired by Prof. Dr. Manuel Arteaga Martínez, from Mexico (2013–2017\). The next Pan\-American Congress of Anatomy will be held in [Peru](/wiki/Peru "Peru"), 2017; its president is Prof. Dr. Germán Molina Albornoz, from Peru.
The statutes of the association and the Pan American Congress of Anatomy, adopted by majority vote by the general assembly of the association, can be found on the.[PAA website](http://www.apanatomia.weebly.com)

Categories of disaster
----------------------
[Cultural property](/wiki/Cultural_property "Cultural property") faces threats from a variety of sources on a daily basis, from thieves, vandals, and pests; to pollution, light, humidity, and temperature; to natural emergencies and physical forces.{{cite web\|title\=10 Agents of Deterioration\|url\=http://www.cci\-icc.gc.ca/crc/articles/mcpm/index\-eng.aspx\|publisher\=Canadian Conservation Institute\|access\-date\=18 September 2011\|archive\-date\=27 August 2011\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20110827043439/http://cci\-icc.gc.ca/crc/articles/mcpm/index\-eng.aspx\|url\-status\=dead}} Effects stemming from these issues can be treated and sometimes reversed with interventive conservation after the damage has occurred. However, many of the sources of danger mentioned above are controllable, and others are at least predictable. Disaster preparedness strives to mitigate the occurrence of damage and deterioration through risk management, research and the implementation of procedures which enhance the safety of cultural heritage objects and collections. Disaster preparedness is considered an integral part of [collections maintenance](/wiki/Collections_maintenance_%28museum%29 "Collections maintenance (museum)"), and [collections management](/wiki/Collections_management_%28museum%29 "Collections management (museum)") and is related to [museum integrated pest management](/wiki/Museum_integrated_pest_management "Museum integrated pest management") and [museum environments](/wiki/Museum_environments "Museum environments").{{cite journal\|title\=AIC Definitions of Conservation Terminology\|journal\=WAAC Newsletter\|date\=May 1996\|volume\=18\|series\=CoOL: Conservation OnLine\|issue\=2}}
[Agents of deterioration](/wiki/Agents_of_deterioration "Agents of deterioration"){{cite web\|url\=https://www.canada.ca/en/conservation\-institute/services/agents\-deterioration.html\|title\=Agents of deterioration\|first\=Canadian Conservation\|last\=Institute\|date\=14 September 2017\|website\=www.canada.ca}}{{cite web\|url\=https://www.conservation\-wiki.com/wiki/Ten\_Agents\_of\_Deterioration\|title\=Ten Agents of Deterioration \- Wiki\|website\=www.conservation\-wiki.com\|date\=29 October 2020 }} are forces which act upon materials and cause them to change or deteriorate over time. There are commonly held to be ten main agents of deterioration. These are incorrect temperature, incorrect relative humidity, light, dust \& pollutants (also called contaminants), pests, physical forces, theft \& vandalism, fire, water, and dissociation or custodial neglect.{{cite book\|last1\=Ashley\-Smith\|first1\=Jonathan\|title\=Risk Assessment for Objects Conservation\|date\=1999\|publisher\=Routledge\|isbn\=9780750628532\|location\=London, U.K. \& New York, N.Y.\|page\=32}} It is important to recognize the type of damage each agent may present as well as ways to mitigate harmful effects.
Most of these forces can vary in intensity and severity. For example, earthquakes are a type of physical force that can cause widespread and severe damage to cultural heritage. A handling accident, where a single item is dropped and damaged, is also an example of physical forces but may not be considered a 'disaster' in the context of disaster planning as the incident likely can be dealt with as part of regular day\-to\-day business. Events considered 'disasters' in the context of disaster preparedness tend to be sudden or acute incidents with widespread and disruptive effects (such as natural disasters), which require a substantial redirection of resourcing from a normal business. The type of events included in an organisations disaster preparedness plan will depend on their risk appetite. Examples of disasters affecting cultural organisations and cultural heritage are given below using the '[agents of deterioration](/wiki/Agents_of_deterioration "Agents of deterioration")' category headings.
Natural disasters are usually dictated by region and climate. They may be predictable to a degree (in that some geographic locations are known to be more prone to earthquakes, hurricanes etc.) but the exact timing and intensity of natural disasters is uncertain. Examples of natural disasters include [hurricanes](/wiki/Hurricanes "Hurricanes"), [tornados](/wiki/Tornado "Tornado"), [floods](/wiki/Flood "Flood"), [blizzards](/wiki/Blizzard "Blizzard"), [landslides](/wiki/Landslide "Landslide"), [earthquakes](/wiki/Earthquake "Earthquake") and their aftershocks, [bushfires](/wiki/Bushfires "Bushfires") or wildfires, and [sandstorms](/wiki/Sandstorm "Sandstorm") or dust storms. These types of hazards can cause extreme structural and object damage to museums and cultural heritage sites. Many such disasters have resulted in loss of life and livelihoods in addition to loss or damage to cultural heritage. Some types of natural disasters are becoming more likely and more severe due to [anthropogenic climate change, placing many cultural heritage sites at greater risk](/wiki/Cultural_heritage_at_risk_from_climate_change "Cultural heritage at risk from climate change").
### Temperature
[Heatwaves](/wiki/Heat_wave "Heat wave") are becoming more common and more extreme in many areas of the world due to the effects of anthropogenic [climate change](/wiki/Climate_change "Climate change"). As [temperature](/wiki/Temperature "Temperature") is a major factor in the rate of chemical deterioration, higher average temperatures and fluctuations will cause cultural heritage to deteriorate at a faster rate. Biological deterioration from insects, mould (or mold) and micro\-organisms may also occur more quickly as they thrive in higher temperatures.{{Cite book\|last\=body.\|first\=National Trust, issuing\|url\=http://worldcat.org/oclc/1114786445\|title\=The National Trust manual of housekeeping : care and conservation of collections in historic houses.\|date\=2 June 2011\|isbn\=978\-1\-907892\-18\-9\|pages\=81–91\|publisher\=Pavilion Books \|oclc\=1114786445}} Cultural heritage 'disasters' relating to extreme heat are typically those associated with fire, though extreme high temperatures can cause structural damage, desiccation of textiles, embrittlement of paint layers, and softening and melting of adhesives and plastics.{{Citation \|last \=National Park Service\|author\-link\=National Park Service\|title\=Museum Handbook, Part I: Museum Collections\|year \=1998\|chapter \=Chapter 4: Museum Collections Environment\|chapter\-url \= http://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/MHI/CHAPTER4\.pdf\|access\-date\= April 29, 2014}}{{cite book\|last \=Staniforth\|first \=Sarah\|title \=Manual of Housekeeping: The Care of Collections in Historic Houses Open to the Public\|place \=Amsterdam \|publisher \=Elsevier\|year \=2006\|chapter \=5: Agents of Deterioration\|page \=51}}{{cite book \|last1\=Buck \|first1\=Rebecca \|last2\=Gilmore \|first2\=Jean \|title\=Museum Registration Methods \|date\=2010 \|publisher\=The AAM Press \|location\=Washington, D.C. \|isbn\=9781933253152 \|page\=374 \|edition\=5th}} Change in weather conditions may also cause low temperatures which can cause stiffening and embrittlement to collection items.{{cite web\|last\=Institute\|first\=Canadian Conservation\|date\=2017\-09\-22\|title\=Incorrect temperature\|url\=https://www.canada.ca/en/conservation\-institute/services/agents\-deterioration/temperature.html\|access\-date\=2021\-11\-10\|website\=www.canada.ca}}
### Incorrect Relative Humidity
[thumb\|A cloud forest and a hygrometer](/wiki/File:Cloud_forest_mount_kinabalu-withHygrom.jpg "Cloud forest mount kinabalu-withHygrom.jpg")
[Relative Humidity](/wiki/Relative_Humidity "Relative Humidity") (RH) can cause damage to cultural heritage when it is too high, too low or fluctuates to widely or frequently for specific materials. On its own it is not typically a cause of 'disasters', though high humidity is a major factor in mould (or mold) outbreaks. [Mould](/wiki/Mold "Mold") (or mold) outbreaks are more often associated with flooding or water leaks, causing temporary increases in the moisture content of the air; however mould (or mold) caused by high humidity is an ongoing concern for cultural heritage in tropical climates.
### Contamination or pollutants
Dust storms and excessive dust deposition due to building works or building collapse have caused damage to cultural heritage.
### Physical forces
Physical forces that may result in collection disasters include earthquakes, structural collapse of buildings, and damage caused by civil unrest and [war](/wiki/War "War"). Cultural heritage may be deliberately targeted during wartime due to their symbolic value.
There are many high\-profile examples of loss caused by such events. As well as the devastating injuries and loss of life, the destruction of the World Trade Centre building in New York on [11 September 2001](/wiki/September_11_attacks "September 11 attacks") resulted in the destruction of civic, business and non\-profit archives, and library, archaeological and [art collections](/wiki/Artwork_at_the_World_Trade_Center_%281973%E2%80%932001%29 "Artwork at the World Trade Center (1973–2001)"). As examples, the Broadway Theatre Archive of 35,000 photographs was lost, as was one of the largest existing urban archaeological assemblages, that of the [Five Points](/wiki/Five_Points%2C_Manhattan "Five Points, Manhattan") area in nineteenth century New York. These losses are detailed in the 2002 report by the Heritage Emergency National Task Force (HENTF), *Cataclysm and Challenge: Impact of September 11, 2001, on Our Nation's Cultural Heritage.*{{Cite journal\|last\=Hargraves\|first\=Ruth\|date\=2002\|title\=Cataclysm and Challenge.

In 2001 two six\-century [Bamiyan Buddha sculptures](/wiki/Buddhas_of_Bamiyan "Buddhas of Bamiyan") in [Afghanistan](/wiki/Afghanistan "Afghanistan") were destroyed in an explosion set by [Taliban](/wiki/Taliban "Taliban") forces.{{cite web\|title\=The Death of the Buddhas of Bamiyan\|url\=https://www.mei.edu/publications/death\-buddhas\-bamiyan\|access\-date\=2021\-11\-12\|website\=Middle East Institute\|language\=en}}
Though cultural damage is usually dwarfed by loss of life and humanitarian effects, examples of major earthquakes causing loss of historic buildings and moveable heritage include the [2013 Bohol, Philippines earthquake](/wiki/2013_Bohol_earthquake "2013 Bohol earthquake"),{{cite web\|last\=Melbourne\|first\=Ben Rodin, University of\|date\=2017\-06\-26\|title\=Rebuilding cultural heritage after disaster\|url\=https://pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/rebuilding\-cultural\-heritage\-after\-disaster\|access\-date\=2021\-11\-12\|website\=Pursuit\|language\=en}} the 2016 earthquake in [Italy](/wiki/List_of_earthquakes_in_Italy "List of earthquakes in Italy"),{{cite web\|date\=2016\-09\-09\|title\=Italy Earthquake's Other Casualty – Cultural Heritage\|url\=https://www.iccrom.org/news/italy\-earthquake%E2%80%99s\-other\-casualty\-%E2%80%93\-cultural\-heritage\|access\-date\=2021\-11\-12\|website\=ICCROM\|language\=en}} and the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 in [Christchurch](/wiki/2011_Christchurch_earthquake "2011 Christchurch earthquake"), New Zealand.{{cite web\|title\=Lost heritage Canterbury earthquakes {{!}} Lost heritage {{!}} Search the List {{!}} Heritage New Zealand\|url\=https://www.heritage.org.nz/the\-list/lost\-heritage/canterbury\-earthquakes\|access\-date\=2021\-11\-12\|website\=www.heritage.org.nz}} Many churches were damaged or destroyed in these earthquakes, including paintings, [frescoes](/wiki/Fresco "Fresco"), furniture, manuscripts, and [stained glass windows](/wiki/Stained_glass "Stained glass") contained within. The 2015 earthquake in [Nepal](/wiki/Nepal "Nepal") caused extensive damage to museums, temples, monasteries, libraries, and historic houses. Traditional craft practices were also disrupted by the quakes.{{Cite book\|title\=Overview Report of the Nepal Cultural Emergency Crowdmap Initiative\|publisher\=ICCROM\|year\=2015\|url\=https://www.iccrom.org/sites/default/files/Nepal\-Cultural\-Emergency\-Crowdmap\-Initiative\-Overview\-Report.pdf}}
### Fire

There are many examples of [fire](/wiki/Fire "Fire") damaging cultural heritage. Fire can cause internal and external damage to singular exhibits or of whole building depending on the cause and speed of responsiveness.{{cite book \|last1\=Dorge \|first1\=Valerie \|last2\=Jones \|first2\=Sharon \|title\=Building an Emergency Plan: A Guide for Museums and Other Cultural Institutions \|date\=1999 \|publisher\=Getty Conservation Institute \|location\=Los Angeles, CA \|url\=http://www.getty.edu/conservation/publications\_resources/pdf\_publications/emergency.html \|access\-date\=2 November 2019}}

### Water
[Flooding](/wiki/Flood "Flood") in locations that experience extreme weather conditions (rainfall, storms) is one relatively common type of disaster affecting cultural collections. [Extreme weather events](/wiki/Extreme_weather "Extreme weather") are also becoming more common due to the effects of anthropogenic climate change. Water damage may also occur due to [storm surges](/wiki/Storm_surge "Storm surge") in coastal areas, and rising sea levels. Disasters have also been caused by faulty pipe or sprinkler systems, and the improper use of water during cleaning.{{cite web \|last1\=Tremain \|first1\=David \|title\=Agent of Deterioration: Water \|url\=https://www.canada.ca/en/conservation\-institute/services/agents\-deterioration/water.html \|website\=Agents of Deterioration \|date\=22 September 2017 \|publisher\=Canadian Conservation Institute \|access\-date\=8 May 2021}}
The [1966 Florence Floods](/wiki/1966_flood_of_the_Arno "1966 flood of the Arno") were a pivotal moment in the development of the [conservation profession](/wiki/Conservation_and_restoration_of_cultural_property "Conservation and restoration of cultural property").

### Theft and vandalism
[Theft](/wiki/Theft "Theft") and [vandalism](/wiki/Vandalism "Vandalism") may be planned acts or opportunistic. There have been many high\-profile cases of planned thefts from cultural organisations worldwide, though not all such events come to public notice; other thefts have occurred when normal security controls are interrupted, such as during building works, civil protests, or even during acts of [terrorism](/wiki/Terrorism "Terrorism") and war.
### Dissociation
Extreme forms of dissociation (separation of the physical item from the information that makes it significant) might include a critical loss of electronic data that cannot be retrieved, or the closure or sale of the collection (in parts or in its entirety) due to financial or political pressures.
### Other risks
Not all risks to collections can be categorised according to the [agents of deterioration](/wiki/Agents_of_deterioration "Agents of deterioration"). They may not result in direct damage or loss to collection material but instead affect the reputation or operation of the organisation. For example, serious issues can be created due to funding or sponsorship scandals; misuse of funds; the presence of [looted cultural property](/wiki/Looted_cultural_property "Looted cultural property") or material acquired by unethical means; political or social perspectives on activities undertaken by the governing body, a donor, or even the institution's founder; and wider societal economic pressures leading to the closure of collecting organisations due to loss of income.
Political, business, social, religious or media pressure groups may in some cases interfere with the operation of cultural organisations, leading to [selection bias](/wiki/Selection_bias "Selection bias"), [propaganda](/wiki/Propaganda "Propaganda"), [discrimination](/wiki/Discrimination "Discrimination") or [censorship](/wiki/Censorship "Censorship") attempts (e.g. in the presentation of exhibitions, or in recruitment processes).

"Categories of disaster\n----------------------",
"[Cultural property](/wiki/Cultural_property \"Cultural property\") faces threats from a variety of sources on a daily basis, from thieves, vandals, and pests; to pollution, light, humidity, and temperature; to natural emergencies and physical forces.{{cite web\\|title\\=10 Agents of Deterioration\\|url\\=http://www.cci\\-icc.gc.ca/crc/articles/mcpm/index\\-eng.aspx\\|publisher\\=Canadian Conservation Institute\\|access\\-date\\=18 September 2011\\|archive\\-date\\=27 August 2011\\|archive\\-url\\=https://web.archive.org/web/20110827043439/http://cci\\-icc.gc.ca/crc/articles/mcpm/index\\-eng.aspx\\|url\\-status\\=dead}} Effects stemming from these issues can be treated and sometimes reversed with interventive conservation after the damage has occurred. However, many of the sources of danger mentioned above are controllable, and others are at least predictable. Disaster preparedness strives to mitigate the occurrence of damage and deterioration through risk management, research and the implementation of procedures which enhance the safety of cultural heritage objects and collections. Disaster preparedness is considered an integral part of [collections maintenance](/wiki/Collections_maintenance_%28museum%29 \"Collections maintenance (museum)\"), and [collections management](/wiki/Collections_management_%28museum%29 \"Collections management (museum)\") and is related to [museum integrated pest management](/wiki/Museum_integrated_pest_management \"Museum integrated pest management\") and [museum environments](/wiki/Museum_environments \"Museum environments\").{{cite journal\\|title\\=AIC Definitions of Conservation Terminology\\|journal\\=WAAC Newsletter\\|date\\=May 1996\\|volume\\=18\\|series\\=CoOL: Conservation OnLine\\|issue\\=2}}",

There are commonly held to be ten main agents of deterioration. These are incorrect temperature, incorrect relative humidity, light, dust \\& pollutants (also called contaminants), pests, physical forces, theft \\& vandalism, fire, water, and dissociation or custodial neglect.{{cite book\\|last1\\=Ashley\\-Smith\\|first1\\=Jonathan\\|title\\=Risk Assessment for Objects Conservation\\|date\\=1999\\|publisher\\=Routledge\\|isbn\\=9780750628532\\|location\\=London, U.K. \\& New York, N.Y.\\|page\\=32}} It is important to recognize the type of damage each agent may present as well as ways to mitigate harmful effects.",
"Most of these forces can vary in intensity and severity. For example, earthquakes are a type of physical force that can cause widespread and severe damage to cultural heritage. A handling accident, where a single item is dropped and damaged, is also an example of physical forces but may not be considered a 'disaster' in the context of disaster planning as the incident likely can be dealt with as part of regular day\\-to\\-day business. Events considered 'disasters' in the context of disaster preparedness tend to be sudden or acute incidents with widespread and disruptive effects (such as natural disasters), which require a substantial redirection of resourcing from a normal business. The type of events included in an organisations disaster preparedness plan will depend on their risk appetite. Examples of disasters affecting cultural organisations and cultural heritage are given below using the '[agents of deterioration](/wiki/Agents_of_deterioration \"Agents of deterioration\")' category headings.",
"Natural disasters are usually dictated by region and climate. They may be predictable to a degree (in that some geographic locations are known to be more prone to earthquakes, hurricanes etc.) but the exact timing and intensity of natural disasters is uncertain. Examples of natural disasters include [hurricanes](/wiki/Hurricanes \"Hurricanes\"), [tornados](/wiki/Tornado \"Tornado\"), [floods](/wiki/Flood \"Flood\"), [blizzards](/wiki/Blizzard \"Blizzard\"), [landslides](/wiki/Landslide \"Landslide\"), [earthquakes](/wiki/Earthquake \"Earthquake\") and their aftershocks, [bushfires](/wiki/Bushfires \"Bushfires\") or wildfires, and [sandstorms](/wiki/Sandstorm \"Sandstorm\") or dust storms. These types of hazards can cause extreme structural and object damage to museums and cultural heritage sites. Many such disasters have resulted in loss of life and livelihoods in addition to loss or damage to cultural heritage. Some types of natural disasters are becoming more likely and more severe due to [anthropogenic climate change, placing many cultural heritage sites at greater risk](/wiki/Cultural_heritage_at_risk_from_climate_change \"Cultural heritage at risk from climate change\").",
"### Temperature",
"[Heatwaves](/wiki/Heat_wave \"Heat wave\") are becoming more common and more extreme in many areas of the world due to the effects of anthropogenic [climate change](/wiki/Climate_change \"Climate change\"). As [temperature](/wiki/Temperature \"Temperature\") is a major factor in the rate of chemical deterioration, higher average temperatures and fluctuations will cause cultural heritage to deteriorate at a faster rate. Biological deterioration from insects, mould (or mold) and micro\\-organisms may also occur more quickly as they thrive in higher temperatures.{{Cite book\\|last\\=body.\\|first\\=National Trust, issuing\\|url\\=http://worldcat.org/oclc/1114786445\\|title\\=The National Trust manual of housekeeping : care and conservation of collections in historic houses.\\|date\\=2 June 2011\\|isbn\\=978\\-1\\-907892\\-18\\-9\\|pages\\=81–91\\|publisher\\=Pavilion Books \\|oclc\\=1114786445}} Cultural heritage 'disasters' relating to extreme heat are typically those associated with fire, though extreme high temperatures can cause structural damage, desiccation of textiles, embrittlement of paint layers, and softening and melting of adhesives and plastics.{{Citation \\|last \\=National Park Service\\|author\\-link\\=National Park Service\\|title\\=Museum Handbook, Part I: Museum Collections\\|year \\=1998\\|chapter \\=Chapter 4: Museum Collections Environment\\|chapter\\-url \\= http://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/MHI/CHAPTER4\\.pdf\\|access\\-date\\= April 29, 2014}}{{cite book\\|last \\=Staniforth\\|first \\=Sarah\\|title \\=Manual of Housekeeping: The Care of Collections in Historic Houses Open to the Public\\|place \\=Amsterdam \\|publisher \\=Elsevier\\|year \\=2006\\|chapter \\=5: Agents of Deterioration\\|page \\=51}}{{cite book \\|last1\\=Buck \\|first1\\=Rebecca \\|last2\\=Gilmore \\|first2\\=Jean \\|title\\=Museum Registration Methods \\|date\\=2010 \\|publisher\\=The AAM Press \\|location\\=Washington, D.C. \\|isbn\\=9781933253152 \\|page\\=374 \\|edition\\=5th}} Change in weather conditions may also cause low temperatures which can cause stiffening and embrittlement to collection items.{{cite web\\|last\\=Institute\\|first\\=Canadian Conservation\\|date\\=2017\\-09\\-22\\|title\\=Incorrect temperature\\|url\\=https://www.canada.ca/en/conservation\\-institute/services/agents\\-deterioration/temperature.html\\|access\\-date\\=2021\\-11\\-10\\|website\\=www.canada.ca}}",

On its own it is not typically a cause of 'disasters', though high humidity is a major factor in mould (or mold) outbreaks. [Mould](/wiki/Mold \"Mold\") (or mold) outbreaks are more often associated with flooding or water leaks, causing temporary increases in the moisture content of the air; however mould (or mold) caused by high humidity is an ongoing concern for cultural heritage in tropical climates.",
"### Contamination or pollutants",
"Dust storms and excessive dust deposition due to building works or building collapse have caused damage to cultural heritage.",
"### Physical forces",
"Physical forces that may result in collection disasters include earthquakes, structural collapse of buildings, and damage caused by civil unrest and [war](/wiki/War \"War\"). Cultural heritage may be deliberately targeted during wartime due to their symbolic value.",
"There are many high\\-profile examples of loss caused by such events. As well as the devastating injuries and loss of life, the destruction of the World Trade Centre building in New York on [11 September 2001](/wiki/September_11_attacks \"September 11 attacks\") resulted in the destruction of civic, business and non\\-profit archives, and library, archaeological and [art collections](/wiki/Artwork_at_the_World_Trade_Center_%281973%E2%80%932001%29 \"Artwork at the World Trade Center (1973–2001)\").

Disaster preparedness plan
--------------------------
[thumb\|left\|Office board with emergency planning, response, and salvage documents.](/wiki/File:Office_board_with_emergency_response.JPG "Office board with emergency response.JPG")
Museums develop disaster (or emergency) preparedness plans for natural and man\-made events that may be expected to occur. These plans are collection\-focussed and separate to or a sub\-component of wider organisational [operational risk management](/wiki/Operational_risk_management "Operational risk management") plans, which focus on human safety and business continuity (including procedures related to [crisis management](/wiki/Crisis_management "Crisis management") and [crisis communication](/wiki/Crisis_communication "Crisis communication") in order to protect the institution's [reputation](/wiki/Reputation "Reputation") in case of a [public relations](/wiki/Public_relations "Public relations") crisis). Despite their focus on cultural heritage, collection disaster preparedness plans still emphasise the need to put human safety above collection safety.
Various [contingency plans](/wiki/Contingency_plan "Contingency plan") should also be included.
The primary objectives of emergency planning are to identify risks in order to anticipate and, if possible, to avoid emergencies; to retain control when an emergency occurs; and to mitigate potential damage as quickly as possible.{{cite book \|last1\=Buck \|first1\=Rebecca \|last2\=Gilmore \|first2\=Jean \|title\=MRM5: Museum Registration Methods \|date\=2010 \|publisher\=AAM Press \|location\=Washington, D.C. \|isbn\=978\-1\-933253\-15\-2 \|page\=360}} Disaster preparedness plans are usually created and reviewed in consultation with various stakeholders. Copies of disaster preparedness plan are kept in different locations within and outside of the museum, in case the emergency situation prevents access to the museum site. Training is an important part of a disaster preparedness plan, to ensure that staff are familiar with the contents of the plan and understand how to effectively carry out the established protocols.
A variety of templates and guides have been published to assist cultural organisations prepare for disasters:

### Preparation
To prepare for disasters, cultural organisations may conduct regular risk assessments to identify potential dangers to the collection or related organisational activities. This assessment is used to prepare both preventive maintenance programs (to prevent disasters from occurring) and response plans for identified scenarios. Other preparatory activities include creating and maintaining an inventory of the collection, identifying salvage priorities for different disaster scenarios, developing emergency telephone contact lists, identifying critical resources and contractors, and assembling useful disaster salvage equipment and supplies (e.g. spill kits, wet\-dry vacuum cleaners, fans). Training for museum personnel is another key part of the preparation stage.{{cite web \|title\=Emergency Preparedness and Response \|url\=https://www.conservation\-wiki.com/wiki/Emergency\_Preparedness\_%26\_Response\#Risk\_Assessment \|website\=American Institute for Conservation Wiki \|access\-date\=2 November 2019}} Cultural organizations may also consider setting up a mobile laboratory such as the heritage ambulance set up by IAPH in Seville.{{Cite web \|editor\-last\=Grow \|editor\-first\=Sharra \|title\=News in Conservation \|url\=https://issuu.com/nic\_iiconservation/docs/nic\-magazine\-feb\-mar\-2022 \|access\-date\=16 November 2022 \|website\=Isuu.com, page 8\., News in Brief, NiC, Issue 88 Feb\-March 2022, IIC\|date\=5 February 2022 }}
#### Insurance
A detailed and flexible [insurance policy](/wiki/Insurance_policy "Insurance policy") is a useful preparation strategy. A policy may specify the replacement value of objects owned by the museum and those loaned by other organisations, and cover building repairs, temporary offsite storage, clean\-up operations and other costs incurred.{{cite book\|editor\-last\=Buck\|editor\-first\=Rebecca A.\|title\=MRM5 : museum registration methods\|date\=2010\|publisher\=AAM Press, American Association of Museums\|location\=Washington, DC\|isbn\=978\-1\-933253\-15\-2\|pages\=351–369\|edition\=5th\|author\=Gilmore, Jean Allman}}{{cite book\|last\=Malaro\|first\=Marie C.\|title\=A legal primer on managing museum collections\|author2\=DeAngelis, Ildiko Pogány\|date\=2012\|publisher\=Smithsonian Books\|isbn\=978\-1\-58834\-322\-2\|edition\=3rd\|location\=Washington, DC\|page\=464}}
### Prevention
Emergency [preparedness](/wiki/Preparedness "Preparedness") should dovetail [collections maintenance](/wiki/Collections_maintenance "Collections maintenance") and [preservation](/wiki/Preservation_%28library_and_archive%29 "Preservation (library and archive)") activities.{{cite web\|title\=Preventive Conservation\|url\=http://www.icom\-cc.org/36/working\-groups/preventive\-conservation/\|work\=International Council of Museums\-Committee for Conservation\|access\-date\= April 3, 2014}} Although many preventive measures are universal, certain measures are particularly useful in mitigating against collection disasters.
#### Preventive maintenance
A variety of teams within a cultural organisation contribute to its upkeep and maintenance.
Facilities management ensure gas, sewage, electricity and water services are well\-maintained and compliant with local codes. They maintain any fire doors, fire detection and suppression systems and check the building regularly for fire risks. Emergency access routes are signposted and cleared of obstacles.
Collection management teams ensure items are stored in a manner to prevent water, dust and pest ingress. Storage enclosures and furniture keeps collection objects at least 10 cm above the floor to reduce the risk from floodwaters.{{cite web\|title\=National Park Service \- Museum Management Program\|url\=http://www.nps.gov/history/museum/publications/conserveogram/18\-02\.pdf\|access\-date\=2015\-03\-01\|publisher\=Nps.gov}}
#### Environmental monitoring
Regular monitoring of the temperature and relative humidity in collection spaces (storage and display) helps identify new trends or unusual occurrences \- for example, if a sudden increase in relative humidity is detected early enough, it may be possible to correct the environment before mould growth occurs.
#### Security measures
Physical security systems deter potential intruders (e.g. warning signs, [security lighting](/wiki/Security_lighting "Security lighting") and perimeter markings), detect intrusions and monitor/record intruders (e.g. intruder alarms and CCTV systems) and trigger appropriate incident responses (e.g. by security guards and police).{{cite book\|author\=Garcia, Mary Lynn\|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=NDMVuN\_4VfIC\&pg\=PA1\|title\=Design and Evaluation of Physical Protection Systems\|publisher\=Butterworth\-Heinemann\|year\=2007\|isbn\=9780080554280\|pages\=1–11\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921071009/http://books.google.com/books?id\=NDMVuN\_4VfIC\&pg\=PA1\|archive\-date\=2013\-09\-21\|url\-status\=live}}{{Cite book\|url\=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/3\-19\-30/ch2\.htm\|title\=Field Manual 3\-19\.30: Physical Security\|publisher\=Headquarters, United States Department of Army\|year\=2001\|chapter\=Chapter 2: The Systems Approach\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921055650/http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/3\-19\-30/ch2\.htm\|archive\-date\=2013\-09\-21\|url\-status\=live}}{{cite book\|author\=Anderson, Ross\|url\=https://archive.org/details/securityengineer00ande\|title\=Security Engineering\|publisher\=Wiley\|year\=2001\|isbn\=978\-0\-471\-38922\-4\|url\-access\=registration}}

Preparedness for personnel includes providing museum staff with emergency training and predetermined designated responsibilities.{{cite web \|title\=Emergency Plan for Collections \|url\=https://www.amnh.org/research/natural\-science\-collections\-conservation/general\-conservation/emergency\-preparedness/emergency\-plan\-for\-collections \|website\=American Museum of Natural History \|access\-date\=2 November 2019 \|archive\-date\=3 November 2019 \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20191103022927/https://www.amnh.org/research/natural\-science\-collections\-conservation/general\-conservation/emergency\-preparedness/emergency\-plan\-for\-collections \|url\-status\=dead }} Trianing may take the form of 'desktop' walkthroughs of scenarios, quizzes, and hands\-on salvage practice.
#### Policies and procedures
In an attempt to maintain control of any emergency, the policies and procedures in the emergency plan outline the chain of command, prescribed team roles and responsibilities, documentation requirements, and salvage priorities.
#### Plan review and revision
Periodically, museums will reevaluate their disaster preparedness plan to account for changes in contact numbers, locations or personnel, revised salvage priority lists, and other modifications impacting the institution's prevention, mitigation and preparedness strategy.
### Response
Immediate action taken within the first few hours or days to stabilize the environment, assess the damage, and report conditions and recommendations may be considered the 'response' phase of the disaster. Contingency and communication strategies in the disaster preparedness plan are put into action.
The welfare of staff and visitors is the primary concern during an emergency, and their safety must be ensured first and foremost.Buck, Rebecca; Gilmore, Jean (2010\). MRM5: Museum Registration Methods. Washington, D.C.: AAM Press. p. 363\. {{ISBN\|978\-1\-933253\-15\-2}}. The best response is executed by following the prescribed emergency response plan, remaining safe and calm, and acting deliberately. Risk assessments are recommended to identify hazards to health and safety and to implement controls before recovery salvage work begins. For example, damaged structures may need to be stabilised before it is safe for salvage teams to enter. Collections and facilities may be contaminated with sewage, toxic chemicals or other hazardous substances. There may be electrical risks from damaged or exposed wiring. Salvage teams will also need safe, dry and warm rest areas and toilet facilities.(NPS Museum Handbook, Part I, 2000 PP 10:35 – 10:42\)
Response activities may include:
* Liaising with first responders, such as fire
* Contacting the organisation's insurance company and agents with any available information and photographs of the incident.
* Contacting organizations or private lenders with loaned items in affected spaces.
* Contacting museum emergency response teams to notify them to be on standby (if not required immediately).{{cite web\|url\=http://www.nps.gov/history/museum/publications/conserveogram/21\-10\.pdf \|title\=National Park Service \- Museum Management Program \|publisher\=Nps.gov \|access\-date\=2015\-03\-01}}
* Contacting pre\-approved engineers, disaster response and salvage organizations, and other service providers, to make them aware of the incident and potential requests for assistance (e.g. for transport, generators, new or interim security controls, drying systems (fans/air pumps), clean water, and freezer services).
* Preparing and releasing a press release via a media liaison.
* Rescheduling any tour groups or other appointments.
#### Documentation
Documentation of the incident and any damage caused before commencing salvage activities is an important part of the response stage. This helps with planning, reduces recovery time, and provides a record for insurance purposes and other reporting. Photographs showing where dislodged objects have fallen can help to identify them later, based on their location. Documentation may need to be carried out under supervision of emergency services personnel, especially if the building is damaged or unstable.
The disaster response team can use the information collected to discuss the next steps. These may include establishing salvage work areas, establishing personal protective equipment and hazardous substances mitigation requirements, recommendations for additional security controls, and triage protocols for salvage treatments.

### Recovery
[thumb\|266x266px\|Water\-damaged records are air\-dried through hanging at the Land Registration Authority (Leyte, Philippines). Photo taken during the Society of Filipino Archivists' Assessment and Technical Assistance to records offices affected by Super [Typhoon Haiyan](/wiki/Typhoon_Haiyan "Typhoon Haiyan") (Yolanda), 2013\.](/wiki/File:Salvaging_records_damaged_by_Typhoon_Haiyan%2C_2013.png "Salvaging records damaged by Typhoon Haiyan, 2013.png")
The recovery phase begins when the disaster situation is brought under control and work to retrieve and treat damaged collection objects can begin. Plans developed during the response phase are put into action, and regularly reviewed and revised for as long as salvage operations continue.'Emergency Response and Recovery': Section 6\. Buck, R., Gilmore, J., ed. (2010\). Museum Registration Methods (5 ed.). Washington, D.C.: The AAM Press. {{ISBN\|978\-1\-933253\-15\-2}}.
Salvage activities are more effective if salvage priorities are established prior to the commencement of recovery activities, even before a disaster has even occurred. Priority salvage lists are a common component of disaster preparedness plans. Cultural organisations may prioritise objects based on their value, their vulnerability, and their prospects for recovery ([triage](/wiki/Triage "Triage")).
There are many online resources that specify how to stabilize and care for various object formats that have been damaged by material and condition.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.conservation\-us.org/publications\-resources/disaster\-response\-recovery \|title\=Disaster Response and Recovery \|publisher\=Conservation\-us.org \|access\-date\=2015\-03\-01}} Activities may include protecting undamaged objects with plastic sheeting, packing damaged objects to move offsite (e.g. to a freezer, if they have become wet), isolating items that have become mouldy, retrieving broken pieces that have become detached, setting up fans to dry objects that have become wet.
Building recovery may occur concurrently by Facilities, Security, and other custodial departments.
The health and safety of staff, visitors and emergency personal remain the highest priority.
#### Funding recovery efforts
Many disaster recovery activities are limited by a lack of available resources and funding. Strategies to raise funds have included approaches to existing donors, 'adopt an artefact' campaigns where groups or individuals sponsor the conservation of damaged objects or exhibits, and fundraising events.{{cite web\|title\=Funding Opportunities\|url\=https://www.nedcc.org/free\-resources/funding\-opportunities/overview\|access\-date\=2021\-11\-10\|website\=Northeast Document Conservation Center\|language\=en}} Social media has increasingly played a major role in fundraising and mobilizing recovery efforts.

"### Preparation",
"To prepare for disasters, cultural organisations may conduct regular risk assessments to identify potential dangers to the collection or related organisational activities. This assessment is used to prepare both preventive maintenance programs (to prevent disasters from occurring) and response plans for identified scenarios. Other preparatory activities include creating and maintaining an inventory of the collection, identifying salvage priorities for different disaster scenarios, developing emergency telephone contact lists, identifying critical resources and contractors, and assembling useful disaster salvage equipment and supplies (e.g. spill kits, wet\\-dry vacuum cleaners, fans). Training for museum personnel is another key part of the preparation stage.{{cite web \\|title\\=Emergency Preparedness and Response \\|url\\=https://www.conservation\\-wiki.com/wiki/Emergency\\_Preparedness\\_%26\\_Response\\#Risk\\_Assessment \\|website\\=American Institute for Conservation Wiki \\|access\\-date\\=2 November 2019}} Cultural organizations may also consider setting up a mobile laboratory such as the heritage ambulance set up by IAPH in Seville.{{Cite web \\|editor\\-last\\=Grow \\|editor\\-first\\=Sharra \\|title\\=News in Conservation \\|url\\=https://issuu.com/nic\\_iiconservation/docs/nic\\-magazine\\-feb\\-mar\\-2022 \\|access\\-date\\=16 November 2022 \\|website\\=Isuu.com, page 8\\., News in Brief, NiC, Issue 88 Feb\\-March 2022, IIC\\|date\\=5 February 2022 }}",

General election
----------------
### Campaign
[thumb\|right\|First page of the [Civil Rights Act of 1964](/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964 "Civil Rights Act of 1964")](/wiki/File:Civilrightsact1964.jpg "Civilrightsact1964.jpg")
Although Goldwater had been successful in rallying conservatives, he was unable to broaden his base of support for the [general election](/wiki/General_election "General election"). Shortly before the Republican Convention, he had alienated moderate and liberal Republicans by his vote against the [Civil Rights Act of 1964](/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964 "Civil Rights Act of 1964"), which he opposed due to his opinion that it was unconstitutional,{{cite web \|url\=http://finduslaw.com/civil\_rights\_act\_of\_1964\_cra\_title\_vii\_equal\_employment\_opportunities\_42\_us\_code\_chapter\_21 \|title\=Civil Rights Act of 1964 – CRA – Title VII – Equal Employment Opportunities – 42 US Code Chapter 21 \|url\-status\=dead \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20100125033337/http://finduslaw.com/civil\_rights\_act\_of\_1964\_cra\_title\_vii\_equal\_employment\_opportunities\_42\_us\_code\_chapter\_21 \|archive\-date\=January 25, 2010 }} and which Johnson had supported following Kennedy's death and signed into law. Although a staunch supporter of racial equality, having voted in favor of the 1957 and 1960 civil rights bills, and the 24th Amendment to the Constitution, Goldwater felt that [desegregation](/wiki/Desegregation_in_the_United_States "Desegregation in the United States") was primarily a states' rights issue, rather than a national policy. He thus believed the 1964 act to be unconstitutional. Goldwater's vote against the legislation helped lead African\-Americans to overwhelmingly support Johnson.{{cite news \|last\=Barnes \|first\=Bart \|date\=May 30, 1998 \|title\=Barry Goldwater, GOP Hero, Dies \|url\=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp\-srv/politics/daily/may98/goldwater30\.htm \|newspaper\=The Washington Post \|access\-date\=November 6, 2016 }}
Goldwater was also hurt by the reluctance of many prominent moderate Republicans to support him. Governors [Nelson Rockefeller](/wiki/Nelson_Rockefeller "Nelson Rockefeller") of New York and [George W. Romney](/wiki/George_W._Romney "George W. Romney") of Michigan refused to endorse Goldwater due to his stance on civil rights and his proposal to make Social Security voluntary, and did not campaign for him. On the other hand, former Vice President [Richard Nixon](/wiki/Richard_Nixon "Richard Nixon") and Governor William Scranton of Pennsylvania loyally supported the GOP ticket and campaigned for Goldwater, although Nixon did not entirely agree with Goldwater's political stances and said that it would "be a tragedy" if Goldwater's platform were not "challenged and repudiated" by the Republicans. Scranton also felt that Goldwater's proposal of voluntarizing Social Security was the "worst kind of fiscal responsibility".[Black, Conrad](/wiki/Conrad_Black "Conrad Black") (2007\), p. 464\. The *[New York Herald\-Tribune](/wiki/New_York_Herald-Tribune "New York Herald-Tribune")*, a voice for eastern Republicans (and a target for Goldwater activists during the primaries), supported Johnson in the general election. Some moderates even formed a "Republicans for Johnson" organization, although most prominent GOP politicians avoided being associated with it.Nation: The Social Security Argument, Time, October 23, 1964 Republican discontent with Goldwater was the focus of the Johnson campaign's famous advertisement "[Confessions of a Republican](/wiki/Confessions_of_a_Republican "Confessions of a Republican")".
*[Fact](/wiki/Fact_%28U.S._magazine%29 "Fact (U.S. magazine)")* magazine published an article polling psychiatrists around the country as to Goldwater's sanity. Some 1,189 psychiatrists appeared to agree that Goldwater was "emotionally unstable" and unfit for office, though none of the members had actually interviewed him. The article received heavy publicity and resulted in a change to the ethics guidelines of the [American Psychiatric Association](/wiki/American_Psychiatric_Association "American Psychiatric Association"), now known as the [Goldwater rule](/wiki/Goldwater_rule "Goldwater rule"). In a [libel](/wiki/Libel "Libel") suit, a federal court awarded Goldwater $1 in compensatory damages, and $75,000 in punitive damages.{{cite news \|url\=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/30/books/review/30gillespie.html?\_r\=1\&scp\=1\&sq\=goldwater%20psychiatrists%201964\&st\=cse \|title\=The Hard Right\|author\=Nick Gillespie \| author\-link \= Nick Gillespie \|date\=July 30, 2006 \|work\= New York Times}}{{cite news \|url\=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/29/health/essay\-the\-perils\-of\-putting\-national\-leaders\-on\-the\-couch.html?scp\=3\&sq\=goldwater%20psychiatrists%201964\&st\=cse \|title\=Essay; The Perils of Putting National Leaders on the Couch \|author\=Sally Satel\| author\-link \= Sally Satel\|date\=June 30, 2004 \|work\= New York Times}}{{cite news\|url\=https://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res\=FB0A11F8345415738DDDAC0894D1405B858AF1D3\&scp\=6\&sq\=goldwater%20psychiatrists%201964\&st\=cse\|title\='64 Poll of Psychiatrists On Goldwater Defended\|work\=The New York Times \|date\=September 5, 1965}}{{cite news\|url\=https://www.nytimes.com/1968/05/16/archives/expert\-condemns\-goldwater\-poll\-tells\-libel\-trial\-magazine\-survey.html?sq\=goldwater%2520psychiatrists%25201964\&scp\=14\&st\=cse\|title\=EXPERT CONDEMNS GOLDWATER POLL – Tells Libel Trial Magazine Survey Was 'Loaded'\|work\=The New York Times \|date\=May 16, 1968}}{{cite news\|url\=https://www.nytimes.com/1968/05/25/archives/goldwater\-awarded\-75000\-in\-damages\-in\-his\-suit\-for\-libel\-goldwater.html?sq\=goldwater%2520psychiatrists%25201964\&scp\=34\&st\=cse\|title\=Goldwater Awarded $75,000 in Damages In His Suit for Libel \|page\=1\|newspaper\=The New York Times\|date\=May 25, 1968}}
Eisenhower's strong backing could have been an asset to the Goldwater campaign, but instead, its absence was clearly noticed. When questioned about the presidential capabilities of the former president's younger brother, university administrator [Milton S. Eisenhower](/wiki/Milton_S._Eisenhower "Milton S. Eisenhower"), in July 1964, Goldwater replied: "One Eisenhower in a generation is enough." However, Eisenhower did not openly repudiate Goldwater, and made one television commercial for Goldwater's campaign.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commercials/1964/ike\-at\-gettysburg\|title\=The Living Room Candidate – Commercials – 1964 – Ike at Gettysburg}} A prominent Hollywood [celebrity](/wiki/Celebrity "Celebrity") who vigorously supported Goldwater was [Ronald Reagan](/wiki/Ronald_Reagan "Ronald Reagan"). Reagan gave a well\-received televised speech supporting Goldwater; it was so popular that Goldwater's advisors had it played on local television stations around the nation. Many historians consider this speech — "[A Time for Choosing](/wiki/A_Time_for_Choosing "A Time for Choosing")" — to mark the beginning of Reagan's transformation from an actor to a political leader. In [1966](/wiki/1966_California_gubernatorial_election "1966 California gubernatorial election"), Reagan would be elected [Governor of California](/wiki/Governor_of_California "Governor of California").
Goldwater did not have ties to the [Ku Klux Klan](/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan "Ku Klux Klan") (KKK), but he was publicly endorsed by members of the organization.{{Citation \|last\=Jamieson \|first\=Kathleen Hall \|title\=1964: Goldwater vs. Goldwater \|date\=1996\-06\-20 \|work\=Packaging The Presidency \|pages\=169–220 \|url\=http://dx.doi.org/10\.1093/oso/9780195089417\.003\.0005 \|access\-date\=2024\-04\-12 \|publisher\=Oxford University PressNew York, NY \|doi\=10\.1093/oso/9780195089417\.003\.0005 \|isbn\=978\-0\-19\-508941\-7}}{{Cite journal \|title\=Ku Klux Klan Members Supporting Barry Goldwater's Campaign for the Presidential Nomination at the Republican National Convention, San Francisco, California, as an African American Man Pushes Signs Back \|url\=http://dx.doi.org/10\.3998/mpub.11645040\.cmp.18 \|access\-date\=2024\-04\-12 \|website\=dx.doi.org\|doi\=10\.3998/mpub.11645040\.cmp.18 }}[Lyndon B.

#### Goldwater's gaffes
Goldwater was famous for speaking "off\-the\-cuff" at times, and many of his former statements were given wide publicity by the Democrats. In the early 1960s, Goldwater had called the [Eisenhower administration](/wiki/Presidency_of_Dwight_Eisenhower "Presidency of Dwight Eisenhower") "a [dime store](/wiki/Five_and_dime "Five and dime") [New Deal](/wiki/New_Deal "New Deal")".{{Citation needed\|date\=April 2024}}
In December 1961, he told a [news conference](/wiki/News_conference "News conference") that "sometimes, I think this country would be better off if we could just saw off the [Eastern Seaboard](/wiki/East_Coast_of_the_United_States "East Coast of the United States") and let it float out to sea", a remark which indicated his dislike of the liberal economic and social policies that were often associated with that part of the nation. That comment came back to hurt him, in the form of a Johnson [television commercial](/wiki/Television_commercial "Television commercial"),{{cite web \|title\=The Living Room Candidate – Commercials – 1964 – Eastern Seabord \|url\=http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commercials/1964/eastern\-seabord}} as did remarks about making [Social Security](/wiki/Social_Security_%28United_States%29 "Social Security (United States)") voluntary (something that even his running mate Miller felt would lead to the destruction of the system){{cite web \|title\=The Living Room Candidate – Commercials – 1964 – Social Security \|url\=http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commercials/1964/social\-security}} and selling the [Tennessee Valley Authority](/wiki/Tennessee_Valley_Authority "Tennessee Valley Authority"). In his most famous verbal gaffe, Goldwater once joked that the U.S. military should "lob one \[a nuclear bomb] into the men's room of the [Kremlin](/wiki/Moscow_Kremlin "Moscow Kremlin")" in the [Soviet Union](/wiki/Soviet_Union "Soviet Union").
#### Gulf of Tonkin Incident and Resolution
Meanwhile, President Johnson was concerned he could lose the election by appearing soft on Communism.Karnow (1983\), p. 371\. On July 10, the {{USS\|Maddox\|DD\-731\|6}} was ordered into the [Gulf of Tonkin](/wiki/Gulf_of_Tonkin "Gulf of Tonkin"), authorized to "maintain contact with the U.S. military command in Saigon ... and arrange 'such communications ... as may be desired'".Karnow (1983\), p. 366\. On July 30, South Vietnamese commandos tried to attack the North Vietnamese radar station on the island of Hon Me,Karnow (1983\), p. 367\. with the USS *Maddox* sufficiently close that the North Vietnamese believed it was there to provide cover for that commando raid.Karnow (1983\), p. 370\. North Vietnam filed an official complaint with the [International Control Commission](/wiki/International_Control_Commission "International Control Commission"), accusing the United States of being behind the raid. On August 2, the *Maddox* reported having been attacked by three North Vietnamese Navy torpedo boats.Moïse (1996\), pp. 50, 78\. Johnson called Soviet Premier Khrushchev, saying the US did not want war and asking the Soviets to convince North Vietnam to not attack American warships.Karnow (1983\), pp. 368–369\. The next day, August 3, South Vietnamese raided Cape Vinhson and Cua Ron. That night, in the middle of a thunderstorm, the *Maddox* intercepted radio messages that gave them "the 'impression' that Communist patrol boats were bracing for \[another] assault". They called for air support from the {{USS\|Ticonderoga\|CV\-14\|6}}. The pilots didn't see anything, but the *Maddox* and the nearby {{USS\|Turner Joy}} started shooting in all directions. However, after the incident, all US personnel involved acknowledged they had neither seen nor heard Communist gunfire. Nevertheless, Johnson and an aide Kenneth O'Donnell agreed that Johnson "would have to respond firmly to defend himself against Goldwater and the Republican right wing". Johnson denounced the attack as "unprovoked" and Congress passed the [Gulf of Tonkin resolution](/wiki/Gulf_of_Tonkin_Resolution "Gulf of Tonkin Resolution"), giving the president the power to do effectively whatever they felt necessary in Vietnam and began major US involvement in the [Vietnam War](/wiki/Vietnam_War "Vietnam War"), and left Goldwater looking like an irresponsible hawk.Karnow (1983\), pp. 368–374\. Moïse (1996\) noted that the Johnson administration did not *intentionally* fake the incident. However, it's clear that Johnson was under pressure to do something, the attacks that actually occurred earlier were *not* "unprovoked", as Johnson claimed, and once he had taken action, he could not easily admit that the evidence was over\-stated.
### Ads and slogans
[thumb\|thumbtime\=3\|Full "Daisy" advertisement](/wiki/File:Daisy_%281964%29.webm "Daisy (1964).webm")
Johnson positioned himself as a moderate, and succeeded in portraying Goldwater as an extremist. CIA Director [William Colby](/wiki/William_Colby "William Colby") asserted that [Tracy Barnes](/wiki/Tracy_Barnes "Tracy Barnes") instructed the CIA to spy on the Goldwater campaign and the Republican National Committee, to provide information to Johnson's campaign; [E. Howard Hunt](/wiki/E._Howard_Hunt "E. Howard Hunt"), later implicated as a ringleader in the [Watergate scandal](/wiki/Watergate_scandal "Watergate scandal"), disputed this, instead claiming the operation had been ordered by the White House.Usdin, Steve (May 22, 2018\). "When the CIA Infiltrated a Presidential Campaign" (Politico) In his memoir Goldwater reported that during his 1964 campaign "our telephones had been bugged" and "our security had been penetrated. The opposition appeared to possess some of the details of our plans and strategies the minute a decision was made".{{cite book \|last1\=Goldwater \|first1\=Barry \|title\=With No Apologies \|date\=1979 \|publisher\=William Morrow and Company \|page\=263}}
Goldwater had a habit of making blunt statements about [war](/wiki/War "War"), [nuclear weapons](/wiki/Nuclear_weapons "Nuclear weapons"), and [economics](/wiki/Economics "Economics") that could be turned against him. Most famously, the Johnson campaign broadcast a television commercial on September 7 dubbed the ["Daisy Girl"](/wiki/Daisy_%28advertisement%29 "Daisy (advertisement)") ad, which featured a little girl picking petals from a daisy in a field, counting the petals, which then segues into a [launch](/wiki/Rocket_launch "Rocket launch") [countdown](/wiki/Countdown "Countdown") and a nuclear explosion.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commercials/1964/peace\-little\-girl\-daisy\|title\=The Living Room Candidate – Commercials – 1964 – Peace Little Girl (Daisy)}} The ads were in response to Goldwater's advocacy of "tactical" nuclear weapons use in [Vietnam](/wiki/Vietnam "Vietnam").Farber, David. *The Age of Great Dreams: America in the 1960s*. {{ISBN\|1429931264}} "[Confessions of a Republican](/wiki/Confessions_of_a_Republican "Confessions of a Republican")", another Johnson ad, features a monologue from a man who tells viewers that he had previously voted for Eisenhower and Nixon, but now worries about the "men with strange ideas", "weird groups", and "the head of the [Ku Klux Klan](/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan "Ku Klux Klan")" who were supporting Goldwater; he concludes that "either they're not Republicans, or I'm not".{{cite web\|url\=http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commercials/1964/confessions\-of\-a\-republican\|title\=The Living Room Candidate – Commercials – 1964 – Confessions of a Republican}} Voters increasingly viewed Goldwater as a [right\-wing](/wiki/Right-wing_politics "Right-wing politics") fringe candidate. His slogan, "In your heart, you know he's right", was successfully parodied by the Johnson campaign into, "In your guts, you know he's nuts", or, "In your heart, you know he might" (as in "he might push the [nuclear button](/wiki/Nuclear_button "Nuclear button")"), or even, "In your heart, he's too far right".{{cite web \|title\=10 worst political slogans of all time \|url\=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/the\-filter/10\-worst\-political\-slogans\-of\-all\-time/in\-your\-heart\-you\-know\-hes\-right/ \|website\=\[\[The Daily Telegraph]] \|access\-date\=February 3, 2021 \|date\=March 23, 2016}}{{cite web \|title\=Election and the Vietnam War \|url\=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Lyndon\-B\-Johnson/Election\-and\-the\-Vietnam\-War \|website\=\[\[Encyclopædia Britannica]] \|access\-date\=February 3, 2021}}
The Johnson campaign's greatest concern may have been voter complacency leading to low turnout in key states. To counter this, all of Johnson's [broadcast](/wiki/Broadcasting "Broadcasting") ads concluded with the line: "Vote for President Johnson on November 3\. The stakes are too high for you to stay home."{{Cite web \|last\=Barth \|first\=Jay \|date\=2016\-05\-12 \|title\=1964 redux: The stakes are too high for you to stay at home \|url\=https://arktimes.com/columns/jay\-barth/2016/05/12/1964\-redux\-the\-stakes\-are\-too\-high\-for\-you\-to\-stay\-at\-home \|access\-date\=2023\-05\-18 \|website\=Arkansas Times \|language\=en\-US}}{{Cite web \|title\=The Living Room Candidate \- Commercials \- 1964 \- Republican Convention \|url\=http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commercials/1964/republican\-convention \|access\-date\=2023\-05\-18 \|website\=www.livingroomcandidate.org}} The Democratic campaign used two other slogans: "All the way with LBJ";{{Citation \|last\=Wilkes \|first\=G.

The election campaign was disrupted for a week by the death of former president [Herbert Hoover](/wiki/Herbert_Hoover "Herbert Hoover") on October 20, 1964, because it was considered disrespectful to be campaigning during a time of mourning. Hoover died of natural causes. He had been U.S. president from 1929 to 1933\. Both major candidates attended his funeral.Best, Gary Dean. *Herbert Hoover, the Post\-Presidential Years, 1933–1964: 1946–1964*. pp. 415, 431–432 {{ISBN\|0817977511}}

Shortly before the Republican Convention, he had alienated moderate and liberal Republicans by his vote against the [Civil Rights Act of 1964](/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964 \"Civil Rights Act of 1964\"), which he opposed due to his opinion that it was unconstitutional,{{cite web \\|url\\=http://finduslaw.com/civil\\_rights\\_act\\_of\\_1964\\_cra\\_title\\_vii\\_equal\\_employment\\_opportunities\\_42\\_us\\_code\\_chapter\\_21 \\|title\\=Civil Rights Act of 1964 – CRA – Title VII – Equal Employment Opportunities – 42 US Code Chapter 21 \\|url\\-status\\=dead \\|archive\\-url\\=https://web.archive.org/web/20100125033337/http://finduslaw.com/civil\\_rights\\_act\\_of\\_1964\\_cra\\_title\\_vii\\_equal\\_employment\\_opportunities\\_42\\_us\\_code\\_chapter\\_21 \\|archive\\-date\\=January 25, 2010 }} and which Johnson had supported following Kennedy's death and signed into law. Although a staunch supporter of racial equality, having voted in favor of the 1957 and 1960 civil rights bills, and the 24th Amendment to the Constitution, Goldwater felt that [desegregation](/wiki/Desegregation_in_the_United_States \"Desegregation in the United States\") was primarily a states' rights issue, rather than a national policy. He thus believed the 1964 act to be unconstitutional. Goldwater's vote against the legislation helped lead African\\-Americans to overwhelmingly support Johnson.{{cite news \\|last\\=Barnes \\|first\\=Bart \\|date\\=May 30, 1998 \\|title\\=Barry Goldwater, GOP Hero, Dies \\|url\\=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp\\-srv/politics/daily/may98/goldwater30\\.htm \\|newspaper\\=The Washington Post \\|access\\-date\\=November 6, 2016 }}",
"Goldwater was also hurt by the reluctance of many prominent moderate Republicans to support him. Governors [Nelson Rockefeller](/wiki/Nelson_Rockefeller \"Nelson Rockefeller\") of New York and [George W. Romney](/wiki/George_W._Romney \"George W. Romney\") of Michigan refused to endorse Goldwater due to his stance on civil rights and his proposal to make Social Security voluntary, and did not campaign for him. On the other hand, former Vice President [Richard Nixon](/wiki/Richard_Nixon \"Richard Nixon\") and Governor William Scranton of Pennsylvania loyally supported the GOP ticket and campaigned for Goldwater, although Nixon did not entirely agree with Goldwater's political stances and said that it would \"be a tragedy\" if Goldwater's platform were not \"challenged and repudiated\" by the Republicans. Scranton also felt that Goldwater's proposal of voluntarizing Social Security was the \"worst kind of fiscal responsibility\".[Black, Conrad](/wiki/Conrad_Black \"Conrad Black\") (2007\\), p. 464\\.

"Eisenhower's strong backing could have been an asset to the Goldwater campaign, but instead, its absence was clearly noticed. When questioned about the presidential capabilities of the former president's younger brother, university administrator [Milton S. Eisenhower](/wiki/Milton_S._Eisenhower \"Milton S. Eisenhower\"), in July 1964, Goldwater replied: \"One Eisenhower in a generation is enough.\" However, Eisenhower did not openly repudiate Goldwater, and made one television commercial for Goldwater's campaign.{{cite web\\|url\\=http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commercials/1964/ike\\-at\\-gettysburg\\|title\\=The Living Room Candidate – Commercials – 1964 – Ike at Gettysburg}} A prominent Hollywood [celebrity](/wiki/Celebrity \"Celebrity\") who vigorously supported Goldwater was [Ronald Reagan](/wiki/Ronald_Reagan \"Ronald Reagan\"). Reagan gave a well\\-received televised speech supporting Goldwater; it was so popular that Goldwater's advisors had it played on local television stations around the nation. Many historians consider this speech — \"[A Time for Choosing](/wiki/A_Time_for_Choosing \"A Time for Choosing\")\" — to mark the beginning of Reagan's transformation from an actor to a political leader.

"#### Goldwater's gaffes",
"Goldwater was famous for speaking \"off\\-the\\-cuff\" at times, and many of his former statements were given wide publicity by the Democrats. In the early 1960s, Goldwater had called the [Eisenhower administration](/wiki/Presidency_of_Dwight_Eisenhower \"Presidency of Dwight Eisenhower\") \"a [dime store](/wiki/Five_and_dime \"Five and dime\") [New Deal](/wiki/New_Deal \"New Deal\")\".{{Citation needed\\|date\\=April 2024}}",
"In December 1961, he told a [news conference](/wiki/News_conference \"News conference\") that \"sometimes, I think this country would be better off if we could just saw off the [Eastern Seaboard](/wiki/East_Coast_of_the_United_States \"East Coast of the United States\") and let it float out to sea\", a remark which indicated his dislike of the liberal economic and social policies that were often associated with that part of the nation. That comment came back to hurt him, in the form of a Johnson [television commercial](/wiki/Television_commercial \"Television commercial\"),{{cite web \\|title\\=The Living Room Candidate – Commercials – 1964 – Eastern Seabord \\|url\\=http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commercials/1964/eastern\\-seabord}} as did remarks about making [Social Security](/wiki/Social_Security_%28United_States%29 \"Social Security (United States)\") voluntary (something that even his running mate Miller felt would lead to the destruction of the system){{cite web \\|title\\=The Living Room Candidate – Commercials – 1964 – Social Security \\|url\\=http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commercials/1964/social\\-security}} and selling the [Tennessee Valley Authority](/wiki/Tennessee_Valley_Authority \"Tennessee Valley Authority\").

"#### Gulf of Tonkin Incident and Resolution",
"Meanwhile, President Johnson was concerned he could lose the election by appearing soft on Communism.Karnow (1983\\), p. 371\\. On July 10, the {{USS\\|Maddox\\|DD\\-731\\|6}} was ordered into the [Gulf of Tonkin](/wiki/Gulf_of_Tonkin \"Gulf of Tonkin\"), authorized to \"maintain contact with the U.S. military command in Saigon ... and arrange 'such communications ... as may be desired'\".Karnow (1983\\), p. 366\\. On July 30, South Vietnamese commandos tried to attack the North Vietnamese radar station on the island of Hon Me,Karnow (1983\\), p. 367\\. with the USS *Maddox* sufficiently close that the North Vietnamese believed it was there to provide cover for that commando raid.Karnow (1983\\), p. 370\\. North Vietnam filed an official complaint with the [International Control Commission](/wiki/International_Control_Commission \"International Control Commission\"), accusing the United States of being behind the raid. On August 2, the *Maddox* reported having been attacked by three North Vietnamese Navy torpedo boats.Moïse (1996\\), pp. 50, 78\\. Johnson called Soviet Premier Khrushchev, saying the US did not want war and asking the Soviets to convince North Vietnam to not attack American warships.Karnow (1983\\), pp. 368–369\\. The next day, August 3, South Vietnamese raided Cape Vinhson and Cua Ron. That night, in the middle of a thunderstorm, the *Maddox* intercepted radio messages that gave them \"the 'impression' that Communist patrol boats were bracing for \\[another] assault\". They called for air support from the {{USS\\|Ticonderoga\\|CV\\-14\\|6}}. The pilots didn't see anything, but the *Maddox* and the nearby {{USS\\|Turner Joy}} started shooting in all directions. However, after the incident, all US personnel involved acknowledged they had neither seen nor heard Communist gunfire. Nevertheless, Johnson and an aide Kenneth O'Donnell agreed that Johnson \"would have to respond firmly to defend himself against Goldwater and the Republican right wing\". Johnson denounced the attack as \"unprovoked\" and Congress passed the [Gulf of Tonkin resolution](/wiki/Gulf_of_Tonkin_Resolution \"Gulf of Tonkin Resolution\"), giving the president the power to do effectively whatever they felt necessary in Vietnam and began major US involvement in the [Vietnam War](/wiki/Vietnam_War \"Vietnam War\"), and left Goldwater looking like an irresponsible hawk.Karnow (1983\\), pp. 368–374\\. Moïse (1996\\) noted that the Johnson administration did not *intentionally* fake the incident. However, it's clear that Johnson was under pressure to do something, the attacks that actually occurred earlier were *not* \"unprovoked\", as Johnson claimed, and once he had taken action, he could not easily admit that the evidence was over\\-stated.",
"### Ads and slogans",
"[thumb\\|thumbtime\\=3\\|Full \"Daisy\" advertisement](/wiki/File:Daisy_%281964%29.webm \"Daisy (1964).webm\")\nJohnson positioned himself as a moderate, and succeeded in portraying Goldwater as an extremist.

Howard Hunt](/wiki/E._Howard_Hunt \"E.

The election was held on November 3, 1964\. Johnson beat Goldwater in the general election, winning over 61% of the popular vote. Johnson became the only Democrat between 1944 and 1976 to win a majority of the popular vote. In the end, Goldwater won only his native state of [Arizona](/wiki/Arizona "Arizona") and five [Deep South](/wiki/Deep_South "Deep South") states — [Louisiana](/wiki/1964_United_States_presidential_election_in_Louisiana "1964 United States presidential election in Louisiana"), [Mississippi](/wiki/1964_United_States_presidential_election_in_Mississippi "1964 United States presidential election in Mississippi"), [Georgia](/wiki/1964_United_States_presidential_election_in_Georgia "1964 United States presidential election in Georgia"), [Alabama](/wiki/1964_United_States_presidential_election_in_Alabama "1964 United States presidential election in Alabama"), and [South Carolina](/wiki/1964_United_States_presidential_election_in_South_Carolina "1964 United States presidential election in South Carolina") — which had been increasingly alienated by Democratic civil rights policies, and where [Jim Crow laws](/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws "Jim Crow laws") tended to be still active to varying degrees, before the following year's [Voting Rights Act](/wiki/Voting_Rights_Act_of_1965 "Voting Rights Act of 1965") outlawed them entirely.
The five Southern states that voted for Goldwater swung over dramatically to support him. For instance, in Mississippi, where Democrat [Franklin D. Roosevelt](/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt "Franklin D. Roosevelt") had won 97% of the popular vote in [1936](/wiki/1936_United_States_presidential_election "1936 United States presidential election"), Goldwater won 87% of the vote.[Kornacki, Steve](/wiki/Steve_Kornacki "Steve Kornacki") (February 3, 2011\).

The 1964 election was a major transition point for the South, and an important step in the process by which the Democrats' former "[Solid South](/wiki/Solid_South "Solid South")" became a Republican bastion. Nonetheless, Johnson still managed to eke out a bare popular majority of 51–49% (6\.307 to 5\.993 million) in the eleven former Confederate states. Conversely, Johnson was the first Democrat ever to carry the state of [Vermont](/wiki/Vermont "Vermont") in a presidential election, and only the second Democrat, after Woodrow Wilson in 1912, when the Republican Party was divided, to carry [Maine](/wiki/Maine "Maine") since the Republican Party was founded in 1854\. Maine and Vermont had been the only states that FDR had failed to carry during any of his four successful presidential bids.
Around twenty percent of the people who had voted for Nixon in the 1960 election switched their support to Johnson.{{cite book \|last\=Murphy \|first\=Paul \|date\=1974 \|title\=Political Parties In American History, Volume 3, 1890\-present \|publisher\=\[\[G. P. Putnam's Sons]]}} Of the 3,126 counties/districts/independent cities making returns, Johnson won in 2,275 (72\.77%), while Goldwater carried 826 (26\.42%). Unpledged electors carried six counties in Alabama (0\.19%). Johnson was the first president whose home state was in the former Confederacy since [Zachary Taylor](/wiki/Zachary_Taylor "Zachary Taylor") in 1848\. Goldwater was the only Republican presidential candidate between 1952 and 1992 to never have served as president.
The Johnson landslide defeated many conservative Republican congressmen, giving him a majority that could overcome the [conservative coalition](/wiki/Conservative_coalition "Conservative coalition"). Johnson's landslide victory coincided with [the defeat](/wiki/1964_United_States_elections "1964 United States elections") of many conservative Republican congressmen. The subsequent [89th Congress](/wiki/89th_United_States_Congress "89th United States Congress") would pass major legislation such as the [Social Security Amendments of 1965](/wiki/Social_Security_Amendments_of_1965 "Social Security Amendments of 1965") and the [Voting Rights Act of 1965](/wiki/Voting_Rights_Act_of_1965 "Voting Rights Act of 1965"). The 1964 election marked the beginning of a major, long\-term re\-alignment in American politics, as Goldwater's unsuccessful bid significantly influenced the [modern conservative movement](/wiki/Conservatism_in_the_United_States "Conservatism in the United States"). The movement of conservatives to the Republican Party continued, culminating in the [1980 presidential victory](/wiki/1980_United_States_presidential_election "1980 United States presidential election") of [Ronald Reagan](/wiki/Ronald_Reagan "Ronald Reagan").
This was the first election to have the participation of the [District of Columbia](/wiki/District_of_Columbia "District of Columbia"), under the [23rd Amendment to the US Constitution](/wiki/Twenty-third_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution "Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution") from 1961\. The Johnson campaign broke two American election records previously held by Franklin Roosevelt: the most Electoral College votes won by a major\-party candidate running for the White House for the first time (with 486 to the 472 won by Roosevelt in [1932](/wiki/1932_United_States_presidential_election "1932 United States presidential election")); and the largest share of the popular vote under the current Democratic/Republican competition (Roosevelt won 60\.8% nationwide, Johnson 61\.1%). This first\-time electoral count was exceeded when [Ronald Reagan](/wiki/Ronald_Reagan "Ronald Reagan") won 489 votes in [1980](/wiki/1980_United_States_presidential_election "1980 United States presidential election").

### Aftermath
Although Goldwater was decisively defeated, some political pundits and historians believe he laid the foundation for the conservative [revolution](/wiki/Revolution "Revolution") to follow. Among them is [Rick Perlstein](/wiki/Rick_Perlstein "Rick Perlstein"), historian of the American conservative movement, who wrote of Goldwater's defeat: "Here was one time, at least, when history was written by the losers."{{Cite book\|last\=Perlstein\|first\=Richard\|title\=Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus\|publisher\=Nation Books\|year\=2001\|isbn\=978\-1\-56858\-412\-6\|location\=New York\|pages\=x}} [Ronald Reagan](/wiki/Ronald_Reagan "Ronald Reagan")'s speech on Goldwater's behalf, grass\-roots organization, and the conservative takeover (although temporary in the 1960s) of the [Republican party](/wiki/Republican_Party_%28United_States%29 "Republican Party (United States)") would all help to bring about the "[Reagan Revolution](/wiki/Presidency_of_Ronald_Reagan "Presidency of Ronald Reagan")" of the 1980s.
Johnson used his victory in the 1964 election to launch the [Great Society](/wiki/Great_Society "Great Society") program at home, sign the [Voting Rights Act](/wiki/Voting_Rights_Act "Voting Rights Act") of 1965, and start the [War on Poverty](/wiki/War_on_Poverty "War on Poverty"). He also escalated the [Vietnam War](/wiki/Vietnam_War "Vietnam War"), which eroded his popularity. By 1968, Johnson's popularity had declined, and the Democrats became so split over his candidacy that he withdrew as a candidate. Moreover, his support of [civil rights](/wiki/Civil_and_political_rights "Civil and political rights") for blacks helped split white union members and Southerners away from [Franklin D. Roosevelt](/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt "Franklin D. Roosevelt")'s Democratic [New Deal Coalition](/wiki/New_Deal_Coalition "New Deal Coalition"), which would later lead to the phenomenon of the "[Reagan Democrat](/wiki/Reagan_Democrat "Reagan Democrat")".{{Cite news\|title\=Reagan, the South and Civil Rights\|url\=https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId\=1953700\|access\-date\=February 9, 2021\|website\=NPR.org\|date \= June 10, 2004\|language\=en\|last1 \= Williams\|first1 \= Juan}} Of the 14 presidential elections that followed up to 2020, Democrats would win only six times, although, in eight of those elections, the Democratic candidate received the highest number of popular votes. The election also furthered the shift of the black voting electorate away from the Republican Party, a phenomenon which had begun with the [New Deal](/wiki/New_Deal "New Deal"). Since the 1964 election, Democratic presidential candidates have almost consistently won 80–95% of the black vote in each presidential election.

Johnson beat Goldwater in the general election, winning over 61% of the popular vote. Johnson became the only Democrat between 1944 and 1976 to win a majority of the popular vote. In the end, Goldwater won only his native state of [Arizona](/wiki/Arizona \"Arizona\") and five [Deep South](/wiki/Deep_South \"Deep South\") states — [Louisiana](/wiki/1964_United_States_presidential_election_in_Louisiana \"1964 United States presidential election in Louisiana\"), [Mississippi](/wiki/1964_United_States_presidential_election_in_Mississippi \"1964 United States presidential election in Mississippi\"), [Georgia](/wiki/1964_United_States_presidential_election_in_Georgia \"1964 United States presidential election in Georgia\"), [Alabama](/wiki/1964_United_States_presidential_election_in_Alabama \"1964 United States presidential election in Alabama\"), and [South Carolina](/wiki/1964_United_States_presidential_election_in_South_Carolina \"1964 United States presidential election in South Carolina\") — which had been increasingly alienated by Democratic civil rights policies, and where [Jim Crow laws](/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws \"Jim Crow laws\") tended to be still active to varying degrees, before the following year's [Voting Rights Act](/wiki/Voting_Rights_Act_of_1965 \"Voting Rights Act of 1965\") outlawed them entirely.",
"The five Southern states that voted for Goldwater swung over dramatically to support him. For instance, in Mississippi, where Democrat [Franklin D. Roosevelt](/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt \"Franklin D. Roosevelt\") had won 97% of the popular vote in [1936](/wiki/1936_United_States_presidential_election \"1936 United States presidential election\"), Goldwater won 87% of the vote.[Kornacki, Steve](/wiki/Steve_Kornacki \"Steve Kornacki\") (February 3, 2011\\). [\"The 'Southern Strategy', fulfilled\"](http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/02/03/reagan_southern_strategy/index.html). *[Salon.com](/wiki/Salon.com \"Salon.com\")*. {{webarchive \\|url\\=https://web.archive.org/web/20110413151441/http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war\\_room/2011/02/03/reagan\\_southern\\_strategy/index.html \\|date\\=April 13, 2011 }}. Of these states, Louisiana had been the only state where a Republican had won even once since [Reconstruction](/wiki/Reconstruction_era_of_the_United_States \"Reconstruction era of the United States\").",
"[thumb\\|right\\|Results by congressional district.](/wiki/File:1964_Presidential_Election%2C_Results_by_Congressional_District.png \"1964 Presidential Election, Results by Congressional District.png\")\nThe 1964 election was a major transition point for the South, and an important step in the process by which the Democrats' former \"[Solid South](/wiki/Solid_South \"Solid South\")\" became a Republican bastion. Nonetheless, Johnson still managed to eke out a bare popular majority of 51–49% (6\\.307 to 5\\.993 million) in the eleven former Confederate states. Conversely, Johnson was the first Democrat ever to carry the state of [Vermont](/wiki/Vermont \"Vermont\") in a presidential election, and only the second Democrat, after Woodrow Wilson in 1912, when the Republican Party was divided, to carry [Maine](/wiki/Maine \"Maine\") since the Republican Party was founded in 1854\\. Maine and Vermont had been the only states that FDR had failed to carry during any of his four successful presidential bids.",
"Around twenty percent of the people who had voted for Nixon in the 1960 election switched their support to Johnson.{{cite book \\|last\\=Murphy \\|first\\=Paul \\|date\\=1974 \\|title\\=Political Parties In American History, Volume 3, 1890\\-present \\|publisher\\=\\[\\[G. P. Putnam's Sons]]}} Of the 3,126 counties/districts/independent cities making returns, Johnson won in 2,275 (72\\.77%), while Goldwater carried 826 (26\\.42%). Unpledged electors carried six counties in Alabama (0\\.19%). Johnson was the first president whose home state was in the former Confederacy since [Zachary Taylor](/wiki/Zachary_Taylor \"Zachary Taylor\") in 1848\\. Goldwater was the only Republican presidential candidate between 1952 and 1992 to never have served as president.",
"The Johnson landslide defeated many conservative Republican congressmen, giving him a majority that could overcome the [conservative coalition](/wiki/Conservative_coalition \"Conservative coalition\"). Johnson's landslide victory coincided with [the defeat](/wiki/1964_United_States_elections \"1964 United States elections\") of many conservative Republican congressmen. The subsequent [89th Congress](/wiki/89th_United_States_Congress \"89th United States Congress\") would pass major legislation such as the [Social Security Amendments of 1965](/wiki/Social_Security_Amendments_of_1965 \"Social Security Amendments of 1965\") and the [Voting Rights Act of 1965](/wiki/Voting_Rights_Act_of_1965 \"Voting Rights Act of 1965\"). The 1964 election marked the beginning of a major, long\\-term re\\-alignment in American politics, as Goldwater's unsuccessful bid significantly influenced the [modern conservative movement](/wiki/Conservatism_in_the_United_States \"Conservatism in the United States\"). The movement of conservatives to the Republican Party continued, culminating in the [1980 presidential victory](/wiki/1980_United_States_presidential_election \"1980 United States presidential election\") of [Ronald Reagan](/wiki/Ronald_Reagan \"Ronald Reagan\").",
"This was the first election to have the participation of the [District of Columbia](/wiki/District_of_Columbia \"District of Columbia\"), under the [23rd Amendment to the US Constitution](/wiki/Twenty-third_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution \"Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution\") from 1961\\. The Johnson campaign broke two American election records previously held by Franklin Roosevelt: the most Electoral College votes won by a major\\-party candidate running for the White House for the first time (with 486 to the 472 won by Roosevelt in [1932](/wiki/1932_United_States_presidential_election \"1932 United States presidential election\")); and the largest share of the popular vote under the current Democratic/Republican competition (Roosevelt won 60\\.8% nationwide, Johnson 61\\.1%). This first\\-time electoral count was exceeded when [Ronald Reagan](/wiki/Ronald_Reagan \"Ronald Reagan\") won 489 votes in [1980](/wiki/1980_United_States_presidential_election \"1980 United States presidential election\").",

"Johnson used his victory in the 1964 election to launch the [Great Society](/wiki/Great_Society \"Great Society\") program at home, sign the [Voting Rights Act](/wiki/Voting_Rights_Act \"Voting Rights Act\") of 1965, and start the [War on Poverty](/wiki/War_on_Poverty \"War on Poverty\"). He also escalated the [Vietnam War](/wiki/Vietnam_War \"Vietnam War\"), which eroded his popularity. By 1968, Johnson's popularity had declined, and the Democrats became so split over his candidacy that he withdrew as a candidate. Moreover, his support of [civil rights](/wiki/Civil_and_political_rights \"Civil and political rights\") for blacks helped split white union members and Southerners away from [Franklin D. Roosevelt](/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt \"Franklin D.

The election also furthered the shift of the black voting electorate away from the Republican Party, a phenomenon which had begun with the [New Deal](/wiki/New_Deal \"New Deal\"). Since the 1964 election, Democratic presidential candidates have almost consistently won 80–95% of the black vote in each presidential election.",

Biography
---------
Born in [Florence](/wiki/Florence "Florence"), the youngest son of [Tommaso Sassetti](/wiki/Tommaso_Sassetti "Tommaso Sassetti"). He is first recorded as joining the famous [Medici bank](/wiki/Medici_bank "Medici bank") in either 1438 or 1439 (at seventeen or eighteen years of age) as a factor to the [Avignon](/wiki/Avignon "Avignon") branch, employed by [Cosimo de' Medici](/wiki/Cosimo_de%27_Medici "Cosimo de' Medici"). His rise was remarkably quick, and he became a junior partner in that branch, and then its general manager, investing his own money in the branch and receiving a share of the profits. By 1453, he had been transferred to the [Geneva](/wiki/Geneva "Geneva") branch (which as before, he invested in{{sfn\|de Roover\|1943\|p\=75}}—though he maintained his investment in the Avignon branch),{{sfn\|de Roover\|1943\|p\=70}} and in 1458 had returned home to [Florence](/wiki/Florence "Florence") to a position as an adviser to [Piero](/wiki/Piero_di_Cosimo_de%27_Medici "Piero di Cosimo de' Medici") and [Lorenzo de' Medici](/wiki/Lorenzo_de%27_Medici "Lorenzo de' Medici") (who had succeeded Cosimo); he also married. Some time after this, he was raised to the highest position in the Medici bank available to non\-Medici: "General manager" (and was referred to by Lorenzo as *nostro ministro*).
Among other things, Sassetti is vital to studies of the Medici bank because of some surviving documents kept by him: his "secret account book" or *libro segreto*, is a private set of account books that Sassetti meticulously kept between 1462 and 1472\. They are invaluable for their full and honest statements of Sassetti's finances and for the light they shed on the internal workings of the bank when he was the general manager. They also are interesting in showing how Sassetti made liberal use of interest\-bearing deposits and reinvested his earnings from the Medici branches in other enterprises.{{sfn\|de Roover\|1943\|p\=75}}
Sassetti is often figured in the ultimate [decline](/wiki/Medici_bank%23Decline "Medici bank#Decline") of the Medici bank. An early sign of the decline was the near\-failure of the [Lyon](/wiki/Lyon "Lyon") branch because of its manager's venality, which Sassetti saved—but as general manager, he should have been suspicious of the high profits the branch manager responsible (Lionetto de' Rossi) reported and checked the books before events had come to such a pass, especially since he was a partner in that branch, even if he was not in the others.
> It was his duty to control the local managers, to audit their accounts, and to lay down the rules which they were expected to follow...Careless managers were reprimanded and summoned to Florence to report. Sassetti, it seems, changed this policy and gave much more leeway to the managers of the affiliated companies.{{sfn\|de Roover\|1943\|p\=80}}
Sassetti is even more culpable in the failure of the [Bruges](/wiki/Bruges "Bruges") branch. He consistently overruled Angelo Tani, who opposed the branch manager [Tommaso Portinari](/wiki/Tommaso_Portinari "Tommaso Portinari")'s reckless schemes, and even removed the last checks against Portinari lending excessive amounts to secular rulers, which would be a direct cause of the failure of the Bruges branch. It failed so spectacularly that the long\-term viability of the Medici branch was damaged.
De Roover detects in the accounting methods of the *libro segreto* a growing distraction by Sassetti, who was increasingly interested in [secular humanist](/wiki/Secular_humanism "Secular humanism") activities. De Roover's view must be set against the humanist activity of Sassetti throughout the 1460s. In 1460 he acquired and restored [Villa La Pietra](/wiki/Villa_La_Pietra "Villa La Pietra").
In 1478 he purchased rights to a funerary chapel in the basilica of [Santa Trinita](/wiki/Santa_Trinita "Santa Trinita"). Work on the [Sassetti Chapel](/wiki/Sassetti_Chapel "Sassetti Chapel") was undertaken by [Domenico Ghirlandaio](/wiki/Domenico_Ghirlandaio "Domenico Ghirlandaio") between 1483 and 1485\. It features a fresco cycle, dedicated to Sassetti's namesake, St Francis, as well as portraits of his family and images of contemporary Florence and an altarpiece on the theme [Adoration of the Shepherds](/wiki/Adoration_of_the_Shepherds "Adoration of the Shepherds").

Life and career
---------------
### Brazil
Faria was born in 1849, the eldest of four children of physician José Cândido Faria (\-1855\) and Josefa Aragonez, who was of Spanish extraction.[Biography of Faria](http://www.cartoonvirtualmuseum.org/galhonra/i_aragones_faria.htm) {{Webarchive\|url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20141111163740/http://www.cartoonvirtualmuseum.org/galhonra/i\_aragones\_faria.htm \|date\=2014\-11\-11 }} on Cartoonvirtualmuseum.org and [Luíz Antônio Barreto: *Cândido Aragonez de Faria*, infonet.com.br](http://www.infonet.com.br/luisantoniobarreto/ler.asp?id=118963) {{webarchive\|url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20141216061157/http://www.infonet.com.br/luisantoniobarreto/ler.asp?id\=118963 \|date\=2014\-12\-16 }} are used throughout this section Dr. Faria had studied in [Montpelier](/wiki/Montpellier "Montpellier") and specialised in [cholera](/wiki/Cholera "Cholera"). He founded the Hospital de Caridade de Laranjeiras and died in a cholera epidemic in 1855\. The family moved to Rio de Janeiro, where their relatives lived. There young Cândido studied at the *Liceu de Artes e Ofícios* (School of Arts and Crafts) and at the *Escola de Belas Artes* (Fine\-Arts School).
Faria's very productive career started with his artwork for many magazines satirizing local politicians and the clergy in [Rio de Janeiro](/wiki/Rio_de_Janeiro "Rio de Janeiro"), like [Paul Gavarni](/wiki/Paul_Gavarni "Paul Gavarni") and [Honoré Daumier](/wiki/Honor%C3%A9_Daumier "Honoré Daumier") did in France. He began as a main caricaturist in 1866 for the satirical periodical *A Pacotilha* (English: Fake, later *Pandokeu* (Joker)). In September 1869 he started with his brother Adolfo the weekly *O Mosquito* (The Mosquito).
In April 1871 he bought *O Lobisomen* (The Werewolf) from the lithographer António Alves do Vale. Faria and Vale signed some works together. Then in June 1874 Faria started a new weekly *0 Mefistófeles* as the sole illustrator, to be merged with *O Mosquito* in 1875\. From 1869 through 1874 Faria was one of the illustrators of the magazine *A Vida Fluminense* (Life in Rio de Janeiro), since 1874 *O Fígaro*, for which he became the sole illustrator. Since October 1876, Faria supplied cartoons to the weeklies *O Ganganelli* and *O Mequetrefe* (The Coxcomb). In 1877 he founded the magazine *O Diabrete* (The Goblin). Faria worked also for more ephemeral magazines, such as *A Comédia Popular* (The people's comedy), *A Galeria* (The Gallery), *Ziguezague* and *Ba\-Ta\-Clan* (The Hotchpotch).
### Argentina
During 1879 \- 1882, Faria illustrated in Buenos Aires the main satiric weekly *El Mosquito* and the new magazine *Cotorra* (English: parrot, windbag), introducing [chromolithography](/wiki/Chromolithography "Chromolithography") in South America. Later he obtained the right to exclusively illustrate the artistic and literary weekly *El Correo del Domingo* (Sunday Post) and the daily *El Gráfico* (\~ The graph).
### France
In 1882 Faria emigrated to France and established his workshop at Paris, working with Charles Clérice of the [Clérice Frères](/wiki/Cl%C3%A9rice_Fr%C3%A8res "Clérice Frères") illustrators. Faria gained fame by his illustrations for books (e.g., *Le fils de Porthos* by [Paul Mahalin](/wiki/Paul_Mahalin "Paul Mahalin"), *L'enfant d'Une vierge* by [Alfred Sirven](/wiki/Alfred_Sirven "Alfred Sirven"), and *Pour rire à deux* by [Olympe Audouard](/wiki/Olympe_Audouard "Olympe Audouard")) and magazines (*La Caricature* by [Albert Robida](/wiki/Albert_Robida "Albert Robida"), *Le Papillon*, *Le Monde illustré* and *La Musique pour tous*). But Faria also illustrated many editions of sheet music for the singer [Paulus](/wiki/Paulus_%28singer%29 "Paulus (singer)") (Jean\-Paul Habans) and created the portrait of the singer [Montéhus](/wiki/Mont%C3%A9hus "Montéhus") used for numerous covers. He also illustrated sheet music for songs, romances and operettas by [Justin Clérice](/wiki/Justin_Cl%C3%A9rice "Justin Clérice"), [Louis Ganne](/wiki/Louis_Ganne "Louis Ganne"), [Charles Lecocq](/wiki/Charles_Lecocq "Charles Lecocq"), [Olivier Métra](/wiki/Olivier_M%C3%A9tra "Olivier Métra"), [Edmond Missa](/wiki/Edmond_Missa "Edmond Missa"), [Robert Planquette](/wiki/Robert_Planquette "Robert Planquette"), [Vincent Scotto](/wiki/Vincent_Scotto "Vincent Scotto") and others.
Since 1895, Faria and the lithographers Sebaïn and Axelrod created posters for shows, tourism and general advertising. From 1902 up to his death in 1911 he was, with about 300 posters, the main poster designer for the film company [Pathé](/wiki/Path%C3%A9 "Pathé") (*[Les Victimes de l'alcoolisme](/wiki/Alcohol_and_its_Victims "Alcohol and its Victims")* by [Ferdinand Zecca](/wiki/Ferdinand_Zecca "Ferdinand Zecca"), *L'assommoir* based on [Emile Zola](/wiki/Emile_Zola "Emile Zola"), and so on).
In France Faria married and had a son Jacques, artist and father of Philippe Aragonez de Faria, who would curate his father's and grandfather's work.

In the interim, the province did produce its fair share of quality players, including Springboks [Bill Payn](/wiki/Cecil_%28Bill%29_Payn "Cecil (Bill) Payn"), [Wally Clarkson](/wiki/Wally_Clarkson "Wally Clarkson") and [Philip Nel](/wiki/Philip_J._Nel "Philip J.

Whilst the 1920s and 30s saw Natal improve from one of the weakest unions in the Currie Cup to becoming a more competitive mid\-table team, the team still struggled against the quality of sides such as [Western Province](/wiki/Western_Province_%28rugby_union%29 "Western Province (rugby union)") and [Transvaal](/wiki/Golden_Lions "Golden Lions").
### 1920\-1990: The years of pain
Natal did not enjoy any success prior to the 1960s, although legendary coach [Izak van Heerden](/wiki/Izak_van_Heerden "Izak van Heerden") did manage to fashion two unbeaten seasons in '61 and '63, when the Currie Cup competition was not held. The 1956 final saw Natal up against [Northern Transvaal](/wiki/Blue_Bulls "Blue Bulls") and even though it was contested at [Kingsmead](/wiki/Kingsmead_Cricket_Ground "Kingsmead Cricket Ground") in Durban, 9\-8 was the score in favour of the men from [Pretoria](/wiki/Pretoria "Pretoria"). With so many Springbok test matches in the early 1960s, the Currie Cup was contested only four times in that decade. Natal failed to make an impression, despite being able to call on the likes of Springboks [Ormond Taylor](/wiki/Ormond_Taylor "Ormond Taylor") and [Keith Oxlee](/wiki/Keith_Oxlee "Keith Oxlee"). But the province did succeed in building its own unique style of exciting rugby, thanks to the foresight and genius of Van Heerden. Van Heerden, who coached Natal from the late 1950s into the 1960s, was ahead of his time, fostering a brand of rugby that placed so much emphasis on ball retention and the interplay of forwards and backs to produce try\-scoring opportunities. Nonetheless, Natal saw very little success in the 1970s, until the arrival of [Wynand Claassen](/wiki/Wynand_Claassen "Wynand Claassen") from Pretoria in late 1979\. What followed was a rare third\-place finish in the Currie Cup in 1980, with Claassen receiving inspirational support from [Welshman](/wiki/Wales "Wales") [Roger Gardner](/wiki/Roger_Gardner "Roger Gardner") and former [Wallaby](/wiki/Australian_national_rugby_union_team "Australian national rugby union team") [Mark Loane](/wiki/Mark_Loane "Mark Loane"). The standout result was a 22\-19 defeat of Northern Transvaal – Natal's first win over Northern's at [Loftus Versfeld](/wiki/Loftus_Versfeld "Loftus Versfeld") in 41 years. [Northern Transvaal](/wiki/Blue_Bulls "Blue Bulls") went on to win the Currie Cup again that year, but Natal was the only side to get the better of them.
### 1981\-1985: Relegation to Section B
During the 80s, Natal could call on players of the calibre of [Gawie Visagie](/wiki/Gawie_Visagie "Gawie Visagie"), [Henry Coxwell](/wiki/Henry_Coxwell_%28rugby_union%29 "Henry Coxwell (rugby union)"), [Rob Hankinson](/wiki/Rob_Hankinson "Rob Hankinson") and [Mort Mortassagne](/wiki/Mort_Mortassagne "Mort Mortassagne"), but relegation to the B\-Section followed in '81\. The side made up for this in 1984 by qualifying for the Currie Cup final, despite plying their trade in the B\-Section. That was after a stunning semi\-final victory over [Free State](/wiki/Free_State_Cheetahs "Free State Cheetahs"), thanks to two tries from [Des McLean](/wiki/Des_McLean_%28rugby_union%29 "Des McLean (rugby union)") and one each from [Derek la Marque](/wiki/Derek_la_Marque "Derek la Marque") and Claassen. The "Banana Boys" gave a good account of themselves in the 1984 final, but [Western Province](/wiki/Western_Province_%28rugby_team%29 "Western Province (rugby team)") were too good, winning 19\-9 at [Newlands](/wiki/Newlands_Stadium "Newlands Stadium") in [Cape Town](/wiki/Cape_Town "Cape Town"). For much of the 1980s, Natal was written off as a B\-Section team punching above their weight. It was not until the arrival of legendary coach [Ian McIntosh](/wiki/Ian_McIntosh "Ian McIntosh") from [Zimbabwe](/wiki/Zimbabwe "Zimbabwe") and the return to the A\-Section in 1987 that they started to lay the foundations for success in the 1990s.
### 1986\-1990: Return to Section A and first Currie Cup title
After arriving in 1986, McIntosh quickly made his mark in Durban and spent the late 1980s building a squad and recruiting players he felt would serve the greater good of Natal Rugby. That culminated in a dream [1990 Currie Cup season](/wiki/1990_Currie_Cup_Division_A "1990 Currie Cup Division A"), which saw Natal sweep aside just about all before them, with only a heavy round\-robin defeat to [Northern Transvaal](/wiki/Blue_Bulls "Blue Bulls") playing on their minds as they traveled north to face the same opponents in the final. Despite Natal's great season, the men from Pretoria were heavily favoured to win, particularly in front of a partisan home crowd that had become accustomed to Currie Cup success. And with match\-winning [flyhalf](/wiki/Fly-half_%28rugby_union%29 "Fly-half (rugby union)") [Naas Botha](/wiki/Naas_Botha "Naas Botha") at the helm, it was widely accepted that the Blue Bulls just had to show up to win. But, in one of the biggest upsets in the history of the competition, McIntosh's side turned the tables and edged out their more\-fancied opponents 18\-12, after a match\-winning try from flying [winger](/wiki/Wing_%28rugby_union%29 "Wing (rugby union)") [Tony Watson](/wiki/Tony_Watson_%28rugby_union%29 "Tony Watson (rugby union)"). The victorious side was captained by [scrumhalf](/wiki/Scrum-half_%28rugby_union%29 "Scrum-half (rugby union)") [Craig Jamieson](/wiki/Craig_Jamieson_%28rugby_union%29 "Craig Jamieson (rugby union)"), who led the team on a ticker\-tape parade through central Durban later in the week. The victory was especially poignant for being both Natal's first, and for occurring in the union's centenary year. Players from that history\-making team included [fullback](/wiki/Fullback_%28rugby_union%29 "Fullback (rugby union)") [Hugh Reece\-Edwards](/wiki/Hugh_Reece-Edwards "Hugh Reece-Edwards") and [centres](/wiki/Centre_%28rugby_union%29 "Centre (rugby union)") [Dick Muir](/wiki/Dick_Muir "Dick Muir") and [Jeremy Thomson](/wiki/Jeremy_Thomson "Jeremy Thomson"). But the hard work was done upfront by [Gerhard Harding](/wiki/Gerhard_Harding "Gerhard Harding"), [Tom Lawton](/wiki/Tom_Lawton "Tom Lawton") and [Guy Kebble](/wiki/Guy_Kebble "Guy Kebble") in the front row, backed up by the [lock](/wiki/Lock_%28rugby_union%29 "Lock (rugby union)") pairing of [Andre Botha](/wiki/Andre_Botha_%28rugby_union%29 "Andre Botha (rugby union)") and [Rudi Visagie](/wiki/Rudi_Visagie "Rudi Visagie"), [flank](/wiki/Flanker_%28rugby_union%29 "Flanker (rugby union)") [Wahl Bartmann](/wiki/Wahl_Bartmann "Wahl Bartmann") and [eighth man](/wiki/Number_Eight_%28rugby_union%29 "Number Eight (rugby union)") [Andrew Aitken](/wiki/Andrew_Aitken_%28rugby_union%29 "Andrew Aitken (rugby union)"). McIntosh produced a masterstroke by naming regular lock [Steve Atherton](/wiki/Steve_Atherton "Steve Atherton") on the flank just minutes before kick\-off. It resulted in what was arguably Natal's heaviest\-ever scrum and laid the platform for the Durban side to put the required pressure on Blue Bulls scrumhalf [Robert du Preez](/wiki/Robert_du_Preez_%28rugby_union%2C_born_1963%29 "Robert du Preez (rugby union, born 1963)") and Botha.

### 1990\-1999: Team of the Decade and the rise of the Sharks
That 1990 victory was the catalyst for further Currie Cup success, as McIntosh set about ensuring continuity that culminated in Natal being labelled the "team of the ‘90s" a decade later. During this time, the province also recruited wisely, with the likes of Du Preez, fullback [Andre Joubert](/wiki/Andre_Joubert "Andre Joubert"), flyhalf [Henry Honiball](/wiki/Henry_Honiball "Henry Honiball"), centre [Pieter Muller](/wiki/Pieter_Muller "Pieter Muller") and [prop](/wiki/Prop_%28rugby_union%29 "Prop (rugby union)") [Ollie le Roux](/wiki/Ollie_le_Roux "Ollie le Roux") all making the trip to Durban to seek greater fortune. Another shrewd acquisition was tireless flanker Bartmann from [Transvaal](/wiki/Golden_Lions "Golden Lions"), and [1992](/wiki/1992_Currie_Cup "1992 Currie Cup") saw him lead Natal to a second Currie Cup triumph – this time away from home. [Francois Pienaar](/wiki/Francois_Pienaar "Francois Pienaar")'s powerful Transvaal unit were defeated 14\-13 in the final at [Ellis Park](/wiki/Ellis_Park_Stadium "Ellis Park Stadium"). A 21\-15 Currie Cup final defeat to the same opponents followed in [1993](/wiki/1993_Currie_Cup "1993 Currie Cup") – a loss that was made all the more difficult because it took place in front of an expectant home crowd at Kings Park. But the newly branded Sharks were back in the winner's circle just two years later. By now, players such as locks [Mark Andrews](/wiki/Mark_Andrews_%28rugby_union%29 "Mark Andrews (rugby union)") and Atherton, [hooker](/wiki/Hooker_%28rugby_union%29 "Hooker (rugby union)") [John Allan](/wiki/John_Allan_%28rugby_union%29 "John Allan (rugby union)"), eighth man [Gary Teichmann](/wiki/Gary_Teichmann "Gary Teichmann"), prop [Adrian Garvey](/wiki/Adrian_Garvey "Adrian Garvey"), wing [Cabous van der Westhuizen](/wiki/Cabous_van_der_Westhuizen "Cabous van der Westhuizen") and scrumhalf [Kevin Putt](/wiki/Kevin_Putt "Kevin Putt") were all household names and either current or future [Springbok](/wiki/South_Africa_national_rugby_union_team "South Africa national rugby union team") stars. Making the most of a memorable [World Cup year](/wiki/1995_Rugby_World_Cup "1995 Rugby World Cup") which saw the Springboks claim a historic first world title, McIntosh also recruited [Frenchmen](/wiki/France_national_rugby_union_team "France national rugby union team") [Olivier Roumat](/wiki/Olivier_Roumat "Olivier Roumat") and [Thierry Lacroix](/wiki/Thierry_Lacroix "Thierry Lacroix") to bolster what was already a highly talented squad. It proved a masterstroke, with the big lock and flyhalf playing important roles in the [1995](/wiki/1995_Currie_Cup "1995 Currie Cup") final victory over Western Province in Durban. The final score was 25\-17, with the Sharks able to celebrate a third Currie Cup success in six years. With the likes of legendary fullback Joubert now entering their prime, along with a new crop of Sharks heroes in the form of flank [Wayne Fyvie](/wiki/Wayne_Fyvie "Wayne Fyvie") and prop [Robbi Kempson](/wiki/Robbi_Kempson "Robbi Kempson"), further success followed in [1996](/wiki/1996_Currie_Cup "1996 Currie Cup") with the Natal securing their first back\-to\-back Currie Cup titles. Such was their dominance in that year that McIntosh's side was able to travel away to Ellis Park and convincingly beat [Transvaal](/wiki/Golden_Lions "Golden Lions") 33\-15, with Joubert grabbing the man\-of\-the\-match award with a stunning two\-try performance. It was surprising, then, that the team from Durban had to wait until [1999](/wiki/1999_Currie_Cup "1999 Currie Cup") to contest another final, with the likes of Western Province, Free State Cheetahs and the [Northern Transvaal](/wiki/Blue_Bulls "Blue Bulls") once again coming into their own towards the end of the 1990s. But it was Transvaal, now renamed the Golden Lions, that would cause Natal Currie Cup heartache, as they pitched up in Durban and handed the four\-time champions a 32\-9 hiding in the 1999 final, with Lions fullback [Thinus Delport](/wiki/Thinus_Delport "Thinus Delport") scoring twice in a match\-winning performance. Despite the best efforts of their rising star, under\-21 flyhallf [Cobus Gomes](/wiki/Cobus_Gomes "Cobus Gomes") who kicked 3 penalties and scored what was arguably the try of the season only to have it reversed due to ill\-discipline in the scrum prior to the line break. That signaled the end of an era, with McIntosh, inspirational captain Teichmann, Honiball and Joubert all announcing their retirements.
### 2000\-2009: Growing International Influence
With [Rudolf Straeuli](/wiki/Rudolf_Straeuli "Rudolf Straeuli") now at the helm and future Springbok captain [John Smit](/wiki/John_Smit "John Smit") at the forefront of a Sharks revival, they were able to overcome those huge losses and qualify for the [2000](/wiki/2000_Currie_Cup "2000 Currie Cup") final. But Western Province was too strong at Kings Park in Durban, as The Sharks went down by 25 points to 15\. It was a case of deja vu just [12 months later](/wiki/2001_Currie_Cup "2001 Currie Cup"), but this time at Newlands in Cape Town. The score was 29\-24 on that occasion, as Western Province enjoyed a period of dominance over their coastal rivals from Durban. The Sharks bounced back to feature in the [2003](/wiki/2003_Currie_Cup "2003 Currie Cup") final, but a heavy 40\-19 Currie Cup final defeat to the Blue Bulls in Pretoria followed and that was to signal the start of a barren period for the province. It was not until [2008](/wiki/2008_Currie_Cup_Premier_Division "2008 Currie Cup Premier Division"), with New Zealander [John Plumtree](/wiki/John_Plumtree "John Plumtree") in charge, that The Sharks were able to break the curse and once again claim Currie Cup glory. Northern Transvaal, by now renamed the Blue Bulls, were their opponents in the final, and this time the Kings Park faithful were treated to a gutsy Sharks performance that culminated in an edgy 14\-9 victory. It was the fifth Currie Cup title, and like the 1995 final, a French connection in the guise of [Frédéric Michalak](/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Michalak "Frédéric Michalak") would again be involved for The Sharks and, with quality young players such as [Ruan Pienaar](/wiki/Ruan_Pienaar "Ruan Pienaar"), [Rory Kockott](/wiki/Rory_Kockott "Rory Kockott"), [Beast Mtawarira](/wiki/Tendai_Mtawarira "Tendai Mtawarira"), [JP Pietersen](/wiki/JP_Pietersen "JP Pietersen"), [Bismarck du Plessis](/wiki/Bismarck_du_Plessis "Bismarck du Plessis"), [Keegan Daniel](/wiki/Keegan_Daniel "Keegan Daniel") and [Ryan Kankowski](/wiki/Ryan_Kankowski "Ryan Kankowski") in their ranks, the portents for success are clearly present.
### 2010\-2013: Becoming a Force to be Reckoned with
Many of the above\-mentioned players, along with some of the stalwarts like John Smit, [Stefan Terblanche](/wiki/Stefan_Terblanche "Stefan Terblanche") and [Jacques Botes](/wiki/Jacques_Botes "Jacques Botes"), together with a few new recruits like [Willem Alberts](/wiki/Willem_Alberts "Willem Alberts") and [Louis Ludik](/wiki/Louis_Ludik "Louis Ludik"), and new talent coming through the Sharks Academy made good in [2010](/wiki/2010_Currie_Cup_Premier_Division "2010 Currie Cup Premier Division") as the team regained the Absa Currie Cup trophy after another successful domestic season. Having finished the pool stages of the tournament at the top of the log, they dispatched of the Blue Bulls in the semi\-final and then comprehensively beat Western Province 30\-10 in the final \- both matches taking place in front of home crowds at [The Shark Tank](/wiki/Kings_Park_Stadium "Kings Park Stadium"). Young [Patrick Lambie](/wiki/Patrick_Lambie "Patrick Lambie") was the star of the show, earning the coveted Man of the Match award with his 25 individual points' haul and he, along with Keegan Daniel, [Lwazi Mvovo](/wiki/Lwazi_Mvovo "Lwazi Mvovo"), Willem Alberts and [Charl McLeod](/wiki/Charl_McLeod "Charl McLeod") all went on to gain Springbok honours at the end of the year. The Sharks reached their third final in four years when they finished second on the login [2011](/wiki/2011_Currie_Cup_Premier_Division "2011 Currie Cup Premier Division"), with the Lions finishing top. The Lions had not won a trophy since beating the Sharks in the 1999 Currie Cup final. Despite the odds, a fired\-up Lions side emulated the feat of their predecessors of 12 years previously (the Sharks had also suffered a 12\-year drought, winning in 1996 and then again in 2008\) and ran out winners at a packed Ellis Park in [Johannesburg](/wiki/Johannesburg "Johannesburg"), defeating The Sharks and emerge 2011 Currie Cup champions. It was a similar scenario in [2012](/wiki/2012_Currie_Cup_Premier_Division "2012 Currie Cup Premier Division") when The Sharks managed, again, to reach the Currie Cup final, hosting it again as they had succeeded in 2008 and 2010\. All the signs suggested that they would emulate those feats, but sadly it was Western Province who broke their own 11\-year trophy drought in a tight final at Kings Park, with [Juan de Jongh](/wiki/Juan_de_Jongh "Juan de Jongh") dancing through the Sharks defence in the 36th minute to score what would become the match\-winning try. The final score was 25\-18 in favour of Western Province. However, The Sharks were not to be denied in [2013](/wiki/2013_Currie_Cup_Premier_Division "2013 Currie Cup Premier Division") when matters were reversed. The final pool match pitted The Sharks and Western Province against one another at Kings Park, the teams one and two on the log. The winner of that match would finish top and thus earn the right to host the final, should they get through. Western Province won 17\-13 and finished top of the Currie Cup log, with the Sharks in the second position.
Both teams successfully negotiated their way through the semi\-finals, Western Province defeated the Golden Lions 33\-16 and The Sharks victorious over Free State \- 33\-22\. The 2013 Currie Cup final was held on 26 October 2013 at Newlands in Cape Town. The home side were overwhelming favourites having beaten the Sharks in both pool matches during the season. It was typical derby stuff; a massive clash between the two best teams in the tournament. But it appeared that The Sharks were hungrier. They hit the rucks with greater passion; they smashed Province in the tackles and took their chances to emerge worthy 33\-19 victors, holding out against a late, but ultimately ineffective charge from the home side to be crowned 2013 champions \- their third title and fifth final in the tournament since 2008\.{{cite web \|url\=http://www.sharksrugby.co.za/general/content/currie\-cup\-history \|title\=Sharks Rugby \|access\-date\=6 June 2014 \|url\-status\=dead \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20140707204653/http://www.sharksrugby.co.za/general/content/currie\-cup\-history \|archive\-date\=7 July 2014 }}

"History\n-------",
"### Early history",
"The Natal Rugby Union, renamed the KwaZulu\\-Natal Rugby Union (KZNRU) in 1999 was formed in 1890, but it took 66 years for the union to enjoy its first Currie Cup final. In the interim, the province did produce its fair share of quality players, including Springboks [Bill Payn](/wiki/Cecil_%28Bill%29_Payn \"Cecil (Bill) Payn\"), [Wally Clarkson](/wiki/Wally_Clarkson \"Wally Clarkson\") and [Philip Nel](/wiki/Philip_J._Nel \"Philip J.

[Francois Pienaar](/wiki/Francois_Pienaar \"Francois Pienaar\")'s powerful Transvaal unit were defeated 14\\-13 in the final at [Ellis Park](/wiki/Ellis_Park_Stadium \"Ellis Park Stadium\"). A 21\\-15 Currie Cup final defeat to the same opponents followed in [1993](/wiki/1993_Currie_Cup \"1993 Currie Cup\") – a loss that was made all the more difficult because it took place in front of an expectant home crowd at Kings Park. But the newly branded Sharks were back in the winner's circle just two years later. By now, players such as locks [Mark Andrews](/wiki/Mark_Andrews_%28rugby_union%29 \"Mark Andrews (rugby union)\") and Atherton, [hooker](/wiki/Hooker_%28rugby_union%29 \"Hooker (rugby union)\") [John Allan](/wiki/John_Allan_%28rugby_union%29 \"John Allan (rugby union)\"), eighth man [Gary Teichmann](/wiki/Gary_Teichmann \"Gary Teichmann\"), prop [Adrian Garvey](/wiki/Adrian_Garvey \"Adrian Garvey\"), wing [Cabous van der Westhuizen](/wiki/Cabous_van_der_Westhuizen \"Cabous van der Westhuizen\") and scrumhalf [Kevin Putt](/wiki/Kevin_Putt \"Kevin Putt\") were all household names and either current or future [Springbok](/wiki/South_Africa_national_rugby_union_team \"South Africa national rugby union team\") stars. Making the most of a memorable [World Cup year](/wiki/1995_Rugby_World_Cup \"1995 Rugby World Cup\") which saw the Springboks claim a historic first world title, McIntosh also recruited [Frenchmen](/wiki/France_national_rugby_union_team \"France national rugby union team\") [Olivier Roumat](/wiki/Olivier_Roumat \"Olivier Roumat\") and [Thierry Lacroix](/wiki/Thierry_Lacroix \"Thierry Lacroix\") to bolster what was already a highly talented squad. It proved a masterstroke, with the big lock and flyhalf playing important roles in the [1995](/wiki/1995_Currie_Cup \"1995 Currie Cup\") final victory over Western Province in Durban. The final score was 25\\-17, with the Sharks able to celebrate a third Currie Cup success in six years. With the likes of legendary fullback Joubert now entering their prime, along with a new crop of Sharks heroes in the form of flank [Wayne Fyvie](/wiki/Wayne_Fyvie \"Wayne Fyvie\") and prop [Robbi Kempson](/wiki/Robbi_Kempson \"Robbi Kempson\"), further success followed in [1996](/wiki/1996_Currie_Cup \"1996 Currie Cup\") with the Natal securing their first back\\-to\\-back Currie Cup titles. Such was their dominance in that year that McIntosh's side was able to travel away to Ellis Park and convincingly beat [Transvaal](/wiki/Golden_Lions \"Golden Lions\") 33\\-15, with Joubert grabbing the man\\-of\\-the\\-match award with a stunning two\\-try performance. It was surprising, then, that the team from Durban had to wait until [1999](/wiki/1999_Currie_Cup \"1999 Currie Cup\") to contest another final, with the likes of Western Province, Free State Cheetahs and the [Northern Transvaal](/wiki/Blue_Bulls \"Blue Bulls\") once again coming into their own towards the end of the 1990s. But it was Transvaal, now renamed the Golden Lions, that would cause Natal Currie Cup heartache, as they pitched up in Durban and handed the four\\-time champions a 32\\-9 hiding in the 1999 final, with Lions fullback [Thinus Delport](/wiki/Thinus_Delport \"Thinus Delport\") scoring twice in a match\\-winning performance. Despite the best efforts of their rising star, under\\-21 flyhallf [Cobus Gomes](/wiki/Cobus_Gomes \"Cobus Gomes\") who kicked 3 penalties and scored what was arguably the try of the season only to have it reversed due to ill\\-discipline in the scrum prior to the line break. That signaled the end of an era, with McIntosh, inspirational captain Teichmann, Honiball and Joubert all announcing their retirements.",

"With [Rudolf Straeuli](/wiki/Rudolf_Straeuli \"Rudolf Straeuli\") now at the helm and future Springbok captain [John Smit](/wiki/John_Smit \"John Smit\") at the forefront of a Sharks revival, they were able to overcome those huge losses and qualify for the [2000](/wiki/2000_Currie_Cup \"2000 Currie Cup\") final. But Western Province was too strong at Kings Park in Durban, as The Sharks went down by 25 points to 15\\. It was a case of deja vu just [12 months later](/wiki/2001_Currie_Cup \"2001 Currie Cup\"), but this time at Newlands in Cape Town. The score was 29\\-24 on that occasion, as Western Province enjoyed a period of dominance over their coastal rivals from Durban. The Sharks bounced back to feature in the [2003](/wiki/2003_Currie_Cup \"2003 Currie Cup\") final, but a heavy 40\\-19 Currie Cup final defeat to the Blue Bulls in Pretoria followed and that was to signal the start of a barren period for the province. It was not until [2008](/wiki/2008_Currie_Cup_Premier_Division \"2008 Currie Cup Premier Division\"), with New Zealander [John Plumtree](/wiki/John_Plumtree \"John Plumtree\") in charge, that The Sharks were able to break the curse and once again claim Currie Cup glory. Northern Transvaal, by now renamed the Blue Bulls, were their opponents in the final, and this time the Kings Park faithful were treated to a gutsy Sharks performance that culminated in an edgy 14\\-9 victory. It was the fifth Currie Cup title, and like the 1995 final, a French connection in the guise of [Frédéric Michalak](/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Michalak \"Frédéric Michalak\") would again be involved for The Sharks and, with quality young players such as [Ruan Pienaar](/wiki/Ruan_Pienaar \"Ruan Pienaar\"), [Rory Kockott](/wiki/Rory_Kockott \"Rory Kockott\"), [Beast Mtawarira](/wiki/Tendai_Mtawarira \"Tendai Mtawarira\"), [JP Pietersen](/wiki/JP_Pietersen \"JP Pietersen\"), [Bismarck du Plessis](/wiki/Bismarck_du_Plessis \"Bismarck du Plessis\"), [Keegan Daniel](/wiki/Keegan_Daniel \"Keegan Daniel\") and [Ryan Kankowski](/wiki/Ryan_Kankowski \"Ryan Kankowski\") in their ranks, the portents for success are clearly present.",

The Sharks reached their third final in four years when they finished second on the login [2011](/wiki/2011_Currie_Cup_Premier_Division \"2011 Currie Cup Premier Division\"), with the Lions finishing top. The Lions had not won a trophy since beating the Sharks in the 1999 Currie Cup final. Despite the odds, a fired\\-up Lions side emulated the feat of their predecessors of 12 years previously (the Sharks had also suffered a 12\\-year drought, winning in 1996 and then again in 2008\\) and ran out winners at a packed Ellis Park in [Johannesburg](/wiki/Johannesburg \"Johannesburg\"), defeating The Sharks and emerge 2011 Currie Cup champions. It was a similar scenario in [2012](/wiki/2012_Currie_Cup_Premier_Division \"2012 Currie Cup Premier Division\") when The Sharks managed, again, to reach the Currie Cup final, hosting it again as they had succeeded in 2008 and 2010\\. All the signs suggested that they would emulate those feats, but sadly it was Western Province who broke their own 11\\-year trophy drought in a tight final at Kings Park, with [Juan de Jongh](/wiki/Juan_de_Jongh \"Juan de Jongh\") dancing through the Sharks defence in the 36th minute to score what would become the match\\-winning try.

However, The Sharks were not to be denied in [2013](/wiki/2013_Currie_Cup_Premier_Division \"2013 Currie Cup Premier Division\") when matters were reversed. The final pool match pitted The Sharks and Western Province against one another at Kings Park, the teams one and two on the log.

It was typical derby stuff; a massive clash between the two best teams in the tournament. But it appeared that The Sharks were hungrier.

Life and career
---------------
Born into a wealthy [Jewish](/wiki/Italian_Jewish "Italian Jewish") family, on 14 November 1934, Carlo De Benedetti is the brother of Italian Senator Franco Debenedetti, whose surname is different owing to a spelling error.{{cite news\|url\=http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/1997/gennaio/16/Benedetti\_indagato\_con\_fratello\_Carlo\_co\_0\_970116606\.shtml\|title\=De Benedetti indagato con il fratello Carlo\|date\=16 January 1997\|newspaper\=\[\[Corriere della Sera]]}} In 1943, during the [World War II](/wiki/World_War_II "World War II"), the De Benedetti family fled to [Switzerland](/wiki/Switzerland "Switzerland"). After Carlo returned to Italy, he received a degree in [electrical engineering](/wiki/Electrical_engineering "Electrical engineering") from the [Polytechnic University of Turin](/wiki/Polytechnic_University_of_Turin "Polytechnic University of Turin") and in 1959 began to work in his father's manufacturing business, the *Compagnia Italiana Tubi Metallici Flessibili*. He helped improve company profits consistently and in 1972 acquired the *Gilardini* company, of which he became president and CEO until 1976\.
Carlo De Benedetti left Italy to return to [Switzerland](/wiki/Switzerland "Switzerland") in 1975, owing to possible terrorist threats during the [Anni di Piombo](/wiki/Anni_di_Piombo "Anni di Piombo") period of Italian domestic terrorism.
For a brief period, from 4 May to 25 August 1976, he was appointed [CEO](/wiki/Chief_executive_officer "Chief executive officer") of [FIAT](/wiki/FIAT "FIAT").{{cite web\|url\=http://www.lastampa.it/redazione/cmsSezioni/economia/200901articoli/40415girata.asp\|title\=Tra industria e Borsa cinquant'anni sul ring\|date\=27 January 2009\|work\=LaStampa.it\|access\-date\=2009\-12\-23\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20120322004853/http://www.lastampa.it/redazione/cmsSezioni/economia/200901articoli/40415girata.asp\#\|archive\-date\=2012\-03\-22\|url\-status\=dead}} His resignation from Fiat was caused, according to De Benedetti, by his decision to lay off 65,000 workers, which was refused by [Fiat](/wiki/Fiat_Automobiles "Fiat Automobiles") head [Gianni Agnelli](/wiki/Gianni_Agnelli "Gianni Agnelli"); other sources say that he was suspected of trying to build up a takeover of power within the company, with the backing Swiss financial groups.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.ilgiornale.it/interni/de\_benedetti\_finanziere\_moralista\_che\_piace\_sinistra/19\-08\-2009/articolo\-id\=374927\-page\=0\-comments\=1\|title\=De Benedetti, finanziere moralista che piace alla sinistra\|work\=ilGiornale.it\|date\=19 August 2009}}
In November 1976, De Benedetti acquired the [CIR Group](/wiki/CIR_Group "CIR Group"), thereby also obtaining control of the national newspaper *[La Repubblica](/wiki/La_Repubblica "La Repubblica")* and the newsmagazine *[L'Espresso](/wiki/L%27Espresso "L'Espresso")*.

In the 1980s, along with other leading business figures, he founded the [European Round Table of Industrialists](/wiki/European_Round_Table_of_Industrialists "European Round Table of Industrialists"), of which he was vice president until 2004\. In 1985 he became a member of the European Advisory Committee of the [New York Stock Exchange](/wiki/New_York_Stock_Exchange "New York Stock Exchange").
In 1995 De Benedetti founded the [telecommunications](/wiki/Telecommunications "Telecommunications") companies [Omnitel](/wiki/Omnitel_Pronto_Italia "Omnitel Pronto Italia") and [Infostrada](/wiki/Infostrada "Infostrada").
In 1997 he created the [Gruppo Editoriale L'Espresso](/wiki/Gruppo_Editoriale_L%27Espresso "Gruppo Editoriale L'Espresso") (*L'Espresso Editorial Group*),{{cite web\|url\=http://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/1997/03/26/fusione\-espresso\-repubblica\-avremo\-piu.html\|title\=FUSIONE L' ESPRESSO \- REPUBBLICA 'AVREMO PIU' RISORSE PER CRESCERE'\|work\=Archivio \- la Repubblica.it}} by merging the *[L'Espresso](/wiki/L%27Espresso "L'Espresso")* and *[La Repubblica](/wiki/La_Repubblica "La Repubblica")* editorial groups. [Carlo Caracciolo](/wiki/Carlo_Caracciolo "Carlo Caracciolo") was appointed president of the group.

### SME affair
In 1985, [Romano Prodi](/wiki/Romano_Prodi "Romano Prodi"), then president of the state\-owned [IRI](/wiki/Istituto_per_la_Ricostruzione_Industriale "Istituto per la Ricostruzione Industriale") (Institute for Industrial Reconstruction), tried to sell the IRI share in [SME](/wiki/SME_%28agricultural_company%29 "SME (agricultural company)") (a former state\-owned agency, later turned food industry conglomerate) to De Benedetti, who was then president of [Buitoni](/wiki/Buitoni "Buitoni") (a food industry belonging to the CIR group), for [Lit.](/wiki/Italian_lira "Italian lira")497 billion.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.repubblica.it/online/politica/smeprocesso/vicenda/vicenda.html\|title\=La Repubblica/politica: La vicenda Sme Dall'Iri a Berlusconi}}{{cite web \|url\=http://www.lavoce.info/articoli/pagina540\.html \|title\=Lavoce.info \- ARTICOLI \- Vendita SME: Il prezzo era giusto? \|accessdate\=2009\-01\-02 \|url\-status\=dead \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20101009204318/http://www.lavoce.info/articoli/pagina540\.html \|archive\-date\=2010\-10\-09 }} Other offers for SME included most notably one for a [joint venture](/wiki/Joint_venture "Joint venture") with [Fininvest](/wiki/Fininvest "Fininvest"), a media group owned by entrepreneur and future Italian prime minister [Silvio Berlusconi](/wiki/Silvio_Berlusconi "Silvio Berlusconi"). The sale to De Benedetti was later blocked by the then Italian prime minister [Bettino Craxi](/wiki/Bettino_Craxi "Bettino Craxi"), and SME remained state\-owned until almost 10 years later.
De Benedetti brought IRI to court in an attempt to appeal the block, but the court, presided over by judge Filippo Verde, denied his case in 1986\.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.repubblica.it/online/politica/toghe/sme/sme.html\|title\=la Repubblica/politica: La vicenda Sme}} In 1995, [Silvio Berlusconi](/wiki/Silvio_Berlusconi "Silvio Berlusconi"), [Cesare Previti](/wiki/Cesare_Previti "Cesare Previti") and [Attilio Pacifico](/wiki/Attilio_Pacifico "Attilio Pacifico") were accused of having bribed Filippo Verde and [Renato Squillante](/wiki/Renato_Squillante "Renato Squillante") to fix the trial against De Benedetti.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.corriere.it/Primo\_Piano/Cronache/2003/11\_Novembre/22/sme\_storia.shtml\|title\=Corriere della Sera \- Sme, storia di un processo}} Berlusconi was later acquitted.
According to *[Der Spiegel](/wiki/Der_Spiegel "Der Spiegel")* on 7 June 2011, Berlusconi was found guilty of bribery and ordered to pay €560 million to CIR.
### Tangentopoli
In 1993, during the *[Mani Pulite](/wiki/Mani_Pulite "Mani Pulite")* (Clean Hands) political\-corruption investigations, Carlo De Benedetti was arrested and admitted to having paid a Lit.10 billion bribe to government parties, to obtain a purchase order from the [Italian Postal Service](/wiki/Poste_Italiane "Poste Italiane") for obsolete [teleprinters](/wiki/Teleprinter "Teleprinter") and computers. In May of that year, he was officially put under investigation, but De Benedetti never went to trial for this episode, the [statute of limitations](/wiki/Statute_of_limitations "Statute of limitations") having expired.

### *Banco Ambrosiano*
De Benedetti became deputy chairman of the Italian bank [Banco Ambrosiano](/wiki/Banco_Ambrosiano "Banco Ambrosiano") in 1981, by acquiring 2% of the capital, but left after only 61 days.{{cite web\|url\=http://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/1991/03/13/de\-benedetti\-rinviato\-giudizio.html\|title\=DE BENEDETTI RINVIATO A GIUDIZIO\|work\=Archivio \- la Repubblica.it}} In April 1992, Carlo De Benedetti and 32 other people were convicted of fraud by a [Milan](/wiki/Milan "Milan") court in connection with the collapse of the bank."Court Convicts Financier, 23 Others in Billion\-Dollar Failure of Italian Bank," *[Rocky Mountain News](/wiki/Rocky_Mountain_News "Rocky Mountain News")*, April 17, 1992 Benedetti was sentenced to six years and four months in prison, but the sentence was overturned in April 1998, by the [Court of Cassation](/wiki/Court_of_Cassation_%28Italy%29 "Court of Cassation (Italy)").

### Media businesses
De Benedetti once controlled the *[La Repubblica](/wiki/La_Repubblica "La Repubblica"),* Italy's main left\-leaning newspaper; *[L'Espresso](/wiki/L%27Espresso "L'Espresso"),* a major news magazine; and *[La Stampa](/wiki/La_Stampa "La Stampa")*, a newspaper published out of Turin. In 2012, he handed control of his family media company to his sons, who later sold it to the [Agnelli\-Elkann family](/wiki/Agnelli_family "Agnelli family") against his wishes. In 2020, he founded *Domani*, a daily newspaper, to service liberal readers.{{Cite news\|last\=Giuffrida\|first\=Angela\|date\=2020\-08\-09\|title\=Italy's new liberal newspaper Domani promises 'facts not chatter'\|language\=en\-GB\|work\=The Observer\|url\=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/aug/09/italys\-new\-liberal\-newspaper\-domani\-promises\-facts\-not\-chatter\|access\-date\=2020\-09\-26\|issn\=0029\-7712}} The newspaper's ownership will eventually be transferred to a non\-profit foundation.

History
-------
Before the 20th century Cubley was little more than a collection of cottages, a few farms and Cubley Hall. The cottages that made up Cubley are now referred to as 'Old Cubley' and lie at the southern edge of Cubley, furthest from Penistone. During the first 30 years of the 20th century, a number of houses were built along the main road from Penistone. Sporadically this house building continued throughout the 20th century.
The vinegar brewery used to sit at Cubley Brook at the bottom of the big dip in the road from Penistone. This closed in the 1960s or 1970s. The land was mostly converted into houses during the 1980s.
Before the 1960s there was a shop, which was part of a large house on Mortimer Road, adjacent to where Hackings Avenue forked away from Mortimer Road. This was run by a Miss Credland. From the 1960s a bungalow on Mortimer Road (just before Cubley Hall on the road from Penistone) had its garage converted into a shop. This was the only shop in Cubley. Some point before the early 1990s this shop closed and left Cubley totally reliant on the shops in Penistone.
During the 1990s an attempt was made to build on the land between Cubley and old Cubley. This failed when the company funding the project went bankrupt. This left two half built buildings.
Around the turn of the Millennium or possible a few years either side the last large building project in Cubley happened \- the construction of a new housing estate to the south of the houses in Cubley. This finally joined up the cottages of old Cubley with a continuous line of development right into Penistone town.

Plot
----
*Adult Adoption* follows Rosy (Moon), a 25\-year\-old bank teller who [aged out](/wiki/Aging_out "Aging out") of the [foster care system](/wiki/Foster_care_system "Foster care system") at 18 and has since managed to build a stable albeit rudimentary and lonely life for herself; she dresses like a very young girl and eats nothing but [Kraft Dinner](/wiki/Kraft_Dinner "Kraft Dinner").
Rosy runs out of a restorative yoga class after the instructor tries to reposition her while she is swaddled. A coworker, Helen (Leah Doz), who is very close to her own mother, suggests she try to find an [older adult to adopt her](/wiki/Adult_adoption "Adult adoption").
Rosy reconnects with Nola (Chelsea Muirhead), with whom she lived in a group home, when Nola calls the bank to transfer money to her "new family". The new family's bank account seems to be a business account for a church, and Rosy suspects that it is a cult.
Rosy meets Brian (Michael Healey) through a website that connects younger adults looking for parent figures with older adults looking to adopt young adults, but Brian soon makes it clear he is interested in a dating relationship. She meets Jane (Rebecca Northan), a high school teacher estranged from her own daughter.
After seeing Jane on a "date" with another young woman, Rosy calls Jane, who doesn't pick up and doesn't return the call or emails. Soon after, Rosy learns Nola has been trying to get in touch, and a dangerous\-seeming man shows up and pressures her to complete the money transfer to the church. Emotionally overwhelmed, she reaches out to multiple people, including Helen, and reacts to their responses in ways that threaten the relationships.
Rosy rescues Nola from the cult. Jane finally calls and asks Rosy to visit, but when Rosy shows up she finds Jane drunk. During the painful exchange, Rosy realizes Jane's limits as well as her own humanity. She has a normal human interaction with the owner of the coffeeshop in her building, reaches out to Helen to try to start mending the relationship, and returns to yoga class, where she allows the instructor to reposition her.

Mission and activities
----------------------
According to its post\-Soviet 1992 [charter](/wiki/Charter "Charter"), Memorial pursued the following aims:
* To promote mature [civil society](/wiki/Civil_society "Civil society") and [democracy](/wiki/Democracy "Democracy") based on the [rule of law](/wiki/Rule_of_law "Rule of law") and thus prevent a return to [totalitarianism](/wiki/Totalitarianism "Totalitarianism");
* To assist the formation of public awareness based on the values of democracy and law, to extirpate totalitarian patterns \[of thought and behaviour], and to firmly establish [human rights](/wiki/Human_rights "Human rights") in everyday politics and public life;
* To promote the truth about the historical past and perpetuate the memory of the victims of [political repression](/wiki/Political_repression "Political repression") carried out by totalitarian regimes.
Its online database contains details of the victims of [political repression in the USSR](/wiki/Political_repression_in_the_USSR "Political repression in the USSR"); the fifth version contains over three million names, although Memorial estimated that 75% of victims had not yet been identified and recorded.[*The Victims of Political Terror in the USSR* (in Russian)](https://base.memo.ru/) *base.memo.org*
Memorial organized assistance, both legal and financial, for the victims of the Gulag. It conducts research into the history of political repression and shares the findings in books, articles, exhibitions, museums, and the websites of its member organizations.
### Day of Remembrance
Moscow Memorial was among the organisations that persuaded the Russian authorities to follow the long\-standing dissident tradition of marking 30 October each year,["Political prisoner's day, 30 October 1974", *A Chronicle of Current Events* (33\.1\), 10 December 1974](https://chronicle-of-current-events.com/2016/11/05/political-prisoners-day-30-october-1974-33-1/) *A Chronicle of Current Events, chronicle\-of\-current\-events.com*. transforming it into an official [Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Political Repressions](/wiki/Day_of_Remembrance_of_the_Victims_of_Political_Repressions "Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Political Repressions"). Over the next thirty years this date was adopted across Russia: by 2016 annual events were held on 30 October at 103 of the 411 burial grounds and commemorative sites included on the "Russia's Necropolis" website.[For example, the Bolsheromanovka village memorial in Siberia's Altai Region](https://en.mapofmemory.org/22-17) *en.mapofmemory.org*

### Research and education
Throughout its existence, but particularly since 2012, the International Memorial Society has widened its range of activities. Today these include the [Last Address](/wiki/Last_Address "Last Address") project and, following the example of Berlin and its [Topography of Terror](/wiki/Topography_of_Terror "Topography of Terror") excursions and exhibitions, the society has organised similar educational ventures about the Soviet era in Moscow and other Russian cities.["The Victims of War and Repression complex, Ryazan (Central Russia)", Russia's Necropolis](https://en.mapofmemory.org/62-04) *en.mapofmemory.org*["Korkino village (Siberia), burial of Great Terror victims", Russia's Necropolis](https://en.mapofmemory.org/24-03) *en.mapofmemory.org*
#### Archives and online database
In 2005, Memorial's database contained records of more than 1,300,000 victims of political repression in the Soviet Union.[FAQ about Memorial](http://www.rightlivelihood.org/memorial_faq.html) *www.rightlivelihood.org* {{webarchive\|url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929083632/http://www.rightlivelihood.org/memorial\_faq.html \|date\=29 September 2007 }} First issued as a CD, by 2020 the fifth edition of the database was available online and held over three million entries of those shot, imprisoned or deported during the Soviet period.
Another project is the "Open List" database, created in several languages of the former Soviet Union (Russian, Ukrainian, Georgian and Belarusian) to encourage relatives and descendants of those shot, imprisoned and deported to contribute information about the victims and their families.[The Open List database](https://openlist.wiki/) (in Russian, Ukrainian, Georgian, and Belarusian). *openlist.wiki* This expanded sources of information beyond the case files kept on individuals by the Soviet security services or the police.
Memorial's archives have been used by historians such as Briton [Orlando Figes](/wiki/Orlando_Figes "Orlando Figes").{{cite news\|url\=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7798497\.stm\|title\=Stalin's new status in Russia\|date\=27 December 2008\|access\-date\=11 January 2018\|via\=news.bbc.co.uk}}
#### School programmes
Since 1999, Memorial has organised an annual competition for secondary school students around the theme of "The Individual and History: Russia in the 20th century". It received between 1,500 and 2,000 entries each year. Authors of the 40 best contributions are invited to Moscow to attend a special school academy and the awards ceremony. The jury has been headed in the past by Otto Sigurd, [Svetlana Aleksiyevich](/wiki/Svetlana_Aleksiyevich "Svetlana Aleksiyevich") and [Ludmila Ulitskaya](/wiki/Ludmila_Ulitskaya "Ludmila Ulitskaya"). To date, 26 collections of winning entries have been published: the majority of these can be found on the "Lessons of History" website.["Results of 22nd annual schools competition", Lessons of History](https://urokiistorii.ru/school_competition){{Dead link\|date\=August 2024 \|bot\=InternetArchiveBot \|fix\-attempted\=yes }} (in Russian) *urokiistorii.ru*
#### The [Katyn Massacres](/wiki/Katyn_Massacre "Katyn Massacre")
Memorial had a special Polish programme headed by [Aleksandr Gurianov](/wiki/Aleksandr_Gurianov "Aleksandr Gurianov").{{cite web \|url\= https://www.wilsoncenter.org/person/alexander\-guryanov \|title\= Alexander Guryanov \|last\= \|first\= \|date\= 2020 \|website\= \|publisher\= wilsoncenter.org \|access\-date\= 2024\-06\-20\|quote\=}} Together with the Polish [KARTA Center](/wiki/KARTA_Center "KARTA Center"), the Memorial Polish programme researched the mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military officers and soldiers, policemen, officials, intelligentsia and others conducted at Stalin's order by the NKVD in [Katyn](/wiki/Katyn_forest "Katyn forest"), [Kalinin](/wiki/Tver%2320th_century "Tver#20th century"), [Kharkiv](/wiki/Kharkiv "Kharkiv"), [Kyiv](/wiki/Kyiv "Kyiv") and probably near [Minsk](/wiki/Minsk "Minsk") in April and May 1940\. The result of this research are four publications on the murders, all edited by Gurianov: one volume on Katyn, where NKVD officers murdered at least 4,400 regular army officers and reserve officers; and three volumes on Kalinin, were 6,300 policemen and prison guards and border guards were shot dead. Both titles contain an introduction on the crime and the exhumations, and a roll\-call of the respective victims with biogram and picture, where available. They are based on analogous Polish publications, but include additional information on the Katyn Massacre and expanded biograms.
The four publications are:

Both titles were launched on 17 September, to the date on the anniversary of the [Soviet invasion of Poland](/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Poland "Soviet invasion of Poland"): the book on Katyn in 2015, on the 75th anniversary; and the three volumes on Mednoye on the 80th anniversary, in 2019\.
Memorial was planning to continue the project and publish a volume on the Katyn Massacre committed at the Kharkov Regional Directorate of the NKVD, however the events after 2019 (the [COVID\-19 pandemic](/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic "COVID-19 pandemic") and the policy pursued by the Russian Federation after its [invasion of Ukraine](/wiki/Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine "Russian invasion of Ukraine"), including the closure of Memorial) made this impossible as of 2024\.
#### "Virtual Gulag" museum and *Russia's Necropolis* website
In the early 21st century, Memorial in St. Petersburg worked to create the "Virtual Gulag" Museum in order to bring together research and archives from all over the former [Soviet Union](/wiki/Soviet_Union "Soviet Union") and to commemorate and record the existence of the Gulag and the lives of its inmates.
Disrupted by the 2008 seizure in St. Petersburg of much of the materials on which the project was based (see {{section link\|\|Persecution}} for further information), and faced with a need to update the information (and the technology), it was decided to create a map of the burial grounds, graveyards and commemorative sites across Russia. Launched in Russian in 2016,[«Карта Памяти: Некрополь террора и Гулага»](https://mapofmemory.org/) (*tr. "Memory Map: Necropolis of Terror and Gulag"*) launched 2016\. *mapofmemory.org* an English\-language version, "Russia's Necropolis of Terror and the Gulag" followed in August 2021\.["Russia's Necropolis of Terror and the Gulag" (in English)](https://en.mapofmemory.org/) launched 2021\. This resource documents over 400 sites, some dating back to the [Russian Civil War](/wiki/Russian_Civil_War "Russian Civil War"), noting their state of preservation, monuments and ceremonies, and whether they have protected status. It includes the killing fields of the [Great Purge](/wiki/Great_Purge "Great Purge") such as [Krasny Bor](/wiki/Krasny_Bor_Forest%2C_Karelia "Krasny Bor Forest, Karelia"), the abandoned burial grounds of the Gulag, and also 138 graveyards of the "special" settlements to which ["dekulakized"](/wiki/Dekulakization "Dekulakization") peasant families and then Poles, Lithuanians and others were deported in their tens of thousands.["Those who did not return: An overview", Russia's Necropolis](https://en.mapofmemory.org/context) 2021\. *en.mapofmemory.org*
At the Kovalevsky Woods near St. Petersburg, Memorial attempted to construct a National Memorial Museum Complex to commemorate the 4,500 victims who were killed and buried there during the [Red Terror](/wiki/Red_Terror "Red Terror").["Kovalyovsky Woods memorial cemetery", Russia's Necropolis](https://en.mapofmemory.org/47-01). *en.mapofmemory.org*[Catriona Bass, "A national museum to the victims of Stalinist repression: words not deeds?"](http://www.opendemocracy.net/od-russia/catriona-bass/national-museum-to-victims-of-stalinist-repression-words-not-deeds) opendemocracy.net, 5 November 2010\. Memorial workers discovered the bodies in 2002\. A memorial complex already exists at the [Sandarmokh](/wiki/Sandarmokh "Sandarmokh") killing field (1937–1938\) in Karelia,["The Sandarmokh Memorial complex", Russia's Necropolis](https://en.mapofmemory.org/10-09). *en.mapofmemory.org* thanks to the efforts of [Yury A. Dmitriev](/wiki/Yury_A._Dmitriev "Yury A. Dmitriev").
In July 1997, a joint expedition of the St. Petersburg and Karelian Memorial Societies led by Dmitriev, Irina Flige, and Veniamin Joffe found 236 common graves containing the bodies of at least 6,000 victims of Stalin–era [purges](/wiki/Purges_of_the_Communist_Party_of_the_Soviet_Union "Purges of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union"), executed in 1937 and 1938\. In 2016, the Russian government attempted to revise this account, claiming that among the dead were Soviet POWs shot by invading Finns in 1941–1944\. Memorial representatives challenged both the motivation behind this claim and the purported new evidence intended to support it.[Anna Yarovaya, "Who wants to rewrite Sandarmokh"](https://dmitrievaffair.com/who-wants-to-rewrite-sandarmokh/), 7x7: Horizontal Russia website (English translation) *dmitrievaffair.com*
#### *A Chronicle of Current Events* (1968–1982\)
In 2008, Memorial HRC launched an online version of the noted {{lang\|ru\|\[\[samizdat]]}} publication *[A Chronicle of Current Events](/wiki/A_Chronicle_of_Current_Events "A Chronicle of Current Events"),* which had been distributed in the Soviet Union.[Khronika tekushchikh sobyty](http://old.memo.ru/history/diss/chr/index.htm) (Хроника текущих событий, *"Chronicle of current events"*), *old.memo.ru* Appearing at irregular intervals during the year, it was circulated in typescript form ({{lang\|ru\|samizdat}}) in the USSR from 1968 to 1983\. All of its 63 issues were also translated into English and published abroad.[*A Chronicle of Current Events*](https://chronicleofcurrentevents.net/), April 1968 to June 1982 *chronicleofcurrentevents.net* Western observers and scholars considered it to be a key source of trustworthy information about human rights in the post\-Stalin Soviet Union.
The launch of the online version was held at Memorial's office in Karetny. Many former editors of the underground publication attended, including [Sergei Kovalev](/wiki/Sergei_Kovalev "Sergei Kovalev") and [Alexander Lavut](/wiki/Alexander_Lavut "Alexander Lavut").
### Media
Memorial has funded or helped to produce various publications and films related to human rights. This included the documentary *The Crying Sun* (2007\), which focused on the village of Zumsoy in [Chechnya](/wiki/Chechnya "Chechnya"), and the struggle of its citizens to preserve their cultural identity in the face of military raids and enforced disappearances by the Russian army and 'guerilla' fighters. The 25\-minute film was produced in collaboration with [WITNESS](/wiki/WITNESS "WITNESS").{{cite web \|url\=http://www.16beavergroup.org/monday/archives/002222\.php \|title\=Friday Night 04\.27\.07 – Human Rights Advocacy in Chechnya: Job or Sacrifice? – 04\.27\.07 \|work\=www.16beavergroup.org \|access\-date\=7 December 2008 \|url\-status\=dead \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20081120165312/http://www.16beavergroup.org/monday/archives/002222\.php \|archive\-date\=20 November 2008 }}

"Mission and activities\n----------------------",
"According to its post\\-Soviet 1992 [charter](/wiki/Charter \"Charter\"), Memorial pursued the following aims:",
"* To promote mature [civil society](/wiki/Civil_society \"Civil society\") and [democracy](/wiki/Democracy \"Democracy\") based on the [rule of law](/wiki/Rule_of_law \"Rule of law\") and thus prevent a return to [totalitarianism](/wiki/Totalitarianism \"Totalitarianism\");\n* To assist the formation of public awareness based on the values of democracy and law, to extirpate totalitarian patterns \\[of thought and behaviour], and to firmly establish [human rights](/wiki/Human_rights \"Human rights\") in everyday politics and public life;\n* To promote the truth about the historical past and perpetuate the memory of the victims of [political repression](/wiki/Political_repression \"Political repression\") carried out by totalitarian regimes.",
"Its online database contains details of the victims of [political repression in the USSR](/wiki/Political_repression_in_the_USSR \"Political repression in the USSR\"); the fifth version contains over three million names, although Memorial estimated that 75% of victims had not yet been identified and recorded.[*The Victims of Political Terror in the USSR* (in Russian)](https://base.memo.ru/) *base.memo.org*",
"Memorial organized assistance, both legal and financial, for the victims of the Gulag. It conducts research into the history of political repression and shares the findings in books, articles, exhibitions, museums, and the websites of its member organizations.",
"### Day of Remembrance",
"Moscow Memorial was among the organisations that persuaded the Russian authorities to follow the long\\-standing dissident tradition of marking 30 October each year,[\"Political prisoner's day, 30 October 1974\", *A Chronicle of Current Events* (33\\.1\\), 10 December 1974](https://chronicle-of-current-events.com/2016/11/05/political-prisoners-day-30-october-1974-33-1/) *A Chronicle of Current Events, chronicle\\-of\\-current\\-events.com*. transforming it into an official [Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Political Repressions](/wiki/Day_of_Remembrance_of_the_Victims_of_Political_Repressions \"Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Political Repressions\"). Over the next thirty years this date was adopted across Russia: by 2016 annual events were held on 30 October at 103 of the 411 burial grounds and commemorative sites included on the \"Russia's Necropolis\" website.[For example, the Bolsheromanovka village memorial in Siberia's Altai Region](https://en.mapofmemory.org/22-17) *en.mapofmemory.org*",

### Research and education
Throughout its existence, but particularly since 2012, the International Memorial Society has widened its range of activities. Today these include the [Last Address](/wiki/Last_Address "Last Address") project and, following the example of Berlin and its [Topography of Terror](/wiki/Topography_of_Terror "Topography of Terror") excursions and exhibitions, the society has organised similar educational ventures about the Soviet era in Moscow and other Russian cities.["The Victims of War and Repression complex, Ryazan (Central Russia)", Russia's Necropolis](https://en.mapofmemory.org/62-04) *en.mapofmemory.org*["Korkino village (Siberia), burial of Great Terror victims", Russia's Necropolis](https://en.mapofmemory.org/24-03) *en.mapofmemory.org*
#### Archives and online database
In 2005, Memorial's database contained records of more than 1,300,000 victims of political repression in the Soviet Union.[FAQ about Memorial](http://www.rightlivelihood.org/memorial_faq.html) *www.rightlivelihood.org* {{webarchive\|url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929083632/http://www.rightlivelihood.org/memorial\_faq.html \|date\=29 September 2007 }} First issued as a CD, by 2020 the fifth edition of the database was available online and held over three million entries of those shot, imprisoned or deported during the Soviet period.
Another project is the "Open List" database, created in several languages of the former Soviet Union (Russian, Ukrainian, Georgian and Belarusian) to encourage relatives and descendants of those shot, imprisoned and deported to contribute information about the victims and their families.[The Open List database](https://openlist.wiki/) (in Russian, Ukrainian, Georgian, and Belarusian). *openlist.wiki* This expanded sources of information beyond the case files kept on individuals by the Soviet security services or the police.

#### School programmes
Since 1999, Memorial has organised an annual competition for secondary school students around the theme of "The Individual and History: Russia in the 20th century". It received between 1,500 and 2,000 entries each year. Authors of the 40 best contributions are invited to Moscow to attend a special school academy and the awards ceremony. The jury has been headed in the past by Otto Sigurd, [Svetlana Aleksiyevich](/wiki/Svetlana_Aleksiyevich "Svetlana Aleksiyevich") and [Ludmila Ulitskaya](/wiki/Ludmila_Ulitskaya "Ludmila Ulitskaya").

History
-------
### 1875 to 1900
Lithgow's association with its iron and steel works was another of this city's big manufacturing eras. Its iron and steel works commenced in October 1875 when the first iron smelting took place. Ore had been discovered by Dan Williams on Eskbank land which was then owned by [Enoch Hughes](/wiki/Enoch_Hughes "Enoch Hughes"), who had previously worked at the [Fitzroy Iron Works](/wiki/Fitzroy_Iron_Works "Fitzroy Iron Works") at Mittagong. The foundry was erected nearby after Hughes convinced [James Rutherford](/wiki/James_Rutherford_%28Australian_pioneer%29 "James Rutherford (Australian pioneer)"), of [Cobb \& Co](/wiki/Cobb_%26_Co "Cobb & Co"). fame, from [Bathurst](/wiki/Bathurst%2C_New_South_Wales "Bathurst, New South Wales") to become involved. The other principal shareholders were the NSW Minister for Public Works, the Hon. [John Sutherland](/wiki/John_Sutherland_%28New_South_Wales_politician%29 "John Sutherland (New South Wales politician)") and Dan Williams, an engineer from Canada who worked on the [Lithgow Zig Zag](/wiki/Lithgow_Zig_Zag "Lithgow Zig Zag") railway project. The Lithgow Valley Iron Works (later the Eskbank Ironworks) then consisted of a blast furnace, foundry and two bar rolling mills with the necessary fitting and smiths' shops. About {{convert\|20000\|ST\|t\|order\=flip}} of pig iron was made initially from local ores, which was converted into rails and bars. Work was carried on intermittently, until it was decided to pull down the blast furnace and convert the castings into merchant iron.McRae, 2016, 3
In May 1880 in the *Lithgow Report* it stated that the Eskbank Ironworks were working at the rate of four miles of rails per week. The new rails stood the test of {{convert\|40\|ST\|t\|order\=flip}}, the required standard being {{convert\|30\|ST\|t\|order\=flip}}. The blast furnace was in full swing and {{convert\|100\|ST\|t\|order\=flip}} per week of iron was anticipated.
The original blast furnace at the Eskbank Ironworks closed in 1882, and it is reported that James Rutherford \- to avoid the temptation to ever reopen it \- in the dead of night, used two dray\-loads of blasting powder to blow it up. After the blast furnace closed down, the rolling mills were used to re\-roll old iron rails into merchant bars. In 1886, William Sandford, leased the rolling mills at the Eskbank Ironworks to roll rails. Sandford bought the ironworks in 1894\.{{Cite web\|url\=https://ro.uow.edu.au/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer\=https://www.google.com.au/\&httpsredir\=1\&article\=1725\&context\=ihsbulletin\|title\=The History of Iron Smelting in Australia\|last\=Southern\|first\=J.L.N.\|publisher\=Illawarra Historical Society\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20190327094534/https://ro.uow.edu.au/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer\=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com.au%2F\&httpsredir\=1\&article\=1725\&context\=ihsbulletin\|archive\-date\=27 March 2019\|url\-status\=live\|df\=dmy\-all}}[thumb\|254x254px\|Original blast furnace (1875\-1882\) with its engine house on the left, taken in 1877\. The inclined structure provided access to the furnace top for charging the furnace.The](/wiki/File:Engine_house_and_blast_furnace%2C_Esk_Bank_iron_works%2C_1877_%288287083336%29.jpg "Engine house and blast furnace, Esk Bank iron works, 1877 (8287083336).jpg") Lithgow Blast Furnace was erected by [William Sandford](/wiki/William_Sandford "William Sandford") in 1906\-1907, a short distance from the Eskbank Colliery which he had purchased outright in 1892\. The construction of this later furnace over {{convert\|1\|km\|0\|spell\=on}} away from the Colliery was widely criticised, but its proximity to the railway and its size, providing scope for expansion, made it an understandable choice. It was constructed for the sole purpose of smelting iron from ore. It is a popular misconception that the site was also an ironworks. Indeed the Eskbank Colliery furnace, which operated between 1875 and 1882, is often confused with Sandford's later furnace.Cremin and Jack 1986: 8\-35
After a layoff the mills at the Eskbank Ironworks were restarted on 30 July 1894\. The old system had been discarded and the mills had now commenced on a partially co\-operative principle, which it was expected would cheapen production and give better results generally. During the cessation of work the plant was added to and improved, in this way the sheet mill now starts equipped to produce nearly double its former product. An order for {{convert\|100\|ST\|t\|order\=flip}} of spike iron, to be supplied at the rate of {{convert\|10\|ST\|t\|order\=flip}} weekly, had been obtained from the Railway Commissioners. The company soon found themselves with an overdraft of about [A£](/wiki/Australian_pound "Australian pound")60,000 and had decided on closing the works when Sandford took them on lease in 1885\. He added mill after mill, with powerful shears, furnaces, boilers and rollers, so that now the mills were fully equipped for the work they had to do. Output for all classes of finished iron and steel for the three years ending 31 December 1901 averaged over {{convert\|7000\|ST\|t\|order\=flip}} per annum. It did not cover more than a small percentage of what was imported into [Sydney](/wiki/Sydney "Sydney").
The works and sidings occupied a space of about {{convert\|12\|acre\|ha\|0\|order\=flip}}, situated between the Main Western Railway Line and Farmer's Creek, being connected with the main line at Eskbank Station, with sidings all round the works. Sand for the works was obtained from Farmer's Creek, close by, and loam for the foundry from a paddock adjoining the works. Within the ironworks' fence is a colliery adit, where the coal was drawn out by an engine, and the same skips drawn around the works, so that coal was only handled once, into the skips; and the same skips were tipped into the furnace bins in the ironworks. Coal was thus used fresh from the colliery, and bore comparison in heating qualities with most of the English coals. On the siding to the works was situated the steam sawmills, where timber of any ordinary size could be cut and delivered to the works.
To heat the iron for the mill, four large furnaces were used, each capable of heating from {{convert\|5\-6\|ST\|t\|order\=flip}} of iron per shift. Attached were large horizontal boilers for raising steam by the waste\-head from the furnaces. There was a great deal of equipment on site including immense Cornish boilers, weighing {{convert\|22\|ST\|t\|order\=flip}} for raising steam by the waste heat from the furnaces. There was a {{convert\|1\.5\|ST\|t\|adj\=on\|order\=flip}} steam hammer, massive shears for cutting up rails into lengths, a large gantry, {{convert\|36\|in\|cm\|0\|order\=flip}} horizontal condensing {{convert\|175\|hp\|kW\|adj\=on\|order\=flip}} engine and giant fly\-wheels with {{convert\|30\|ft\|m\|0\|order\=flip}} diameters, weighing {{convert\|40\|ST\|t\|order\=flip}}.
The No. 2 Sheet Mill had a {{convert\|35\|ST\|t\|adj\=on\|order\=flip}} flywheel. In the fitting shops were lathes, screwing, drilling and punching machines, nut and bolt machines, and a complete spike\-making machine, where spikes for the Railway Construction Department had been made the previous three years. The foundry department had two large travelling cranes, a large and small cupola and an air furnace. There was also a large Siemens melting furnace, for dealing with scrap, scrap and pig iron. It was complete with a steam travelling crane capable of lifting {{convert\|7\|ST\|t\|adj\=on\|order\=flip}} cast iron moulds and large wrought iron ladles. Cement used in the works was mostly made at the [Cullen Bullen](/wiki/Cullen_Bullen%2C_New_South_Wales "Cullen Bullen, New South Wales") Company's lime and cement works, about {{convert\|10\|mi\|km\|order\=flip}} from Lithgow There was another mill principally for rolling sheets for galvanising and corrugating sheets up to {{convert\|12\|ft\|m\|0\|order\=flip}} long and 27 gauge.
### Since 1901
On 24 April 1901 Sandford organised a gala dinner to announce that he and his son Esk had successfully tapped the first viable quantities of steel produced in Australia at the Eskbank Ironworks. He had been working Eskbank since the 1880s, and although tapping steel was a triumph, he was nearly exhausted by it. Sandford felt iron and steel were basic commodities and needed to be boosted, and tried every which way to protect and support his venture. While Lithgow's coal miners were free traders, iron workers and their bosses were protectionists, so, to advance his cause, Sandford ran as a protectionist against [Joseph Cook](/wiki/Joseph_Cook "Joseph Cook") in the 1901 federal parliamentary election. He then tried to convince the NSW government to take over the works.
Finally, when a tender for steel and iron supply became available he bribed three parliamentarians, including William Holman, to win the contract. Part of that deal included the construction of a blast furnace, to enable production of pig iron for steel. Sandford complied.
[thumb\|William Sandford Limited's new blast furnace in May 1907\.{{Cite news\|date\=1907\-05\-15\|title\=A Big Stride in National Progress.\|pages\=1245\|work\=Sydney Mail and New South Wales Advertiser (NSW : 1871 \- 1912\)\|url\=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news\-article165392694\|access\-date\=2020\-05\-05}}\|344x344px](/wiki/File:Lithgow_Blast_Furnace_May_1907_%28Sydney_Mail_15_May_1907%2C_Page_1245%29.jpg "Lithgow Blast Furnace May 1907 (Sydney Mail 15 May 1907, Page 1245).jpg")
The Blast Furnace was "blown in" and officially opened by the premier of New South Wales, on 13 May 1907\. It was Sandford's proudest moment and won him the title of the father of the Australian steel industry. His relations with workers were relatively harmonious and beneficent and the Eskbank estate was, to him, a satisfyingly noisy and smoky place. However behind the scenes, Sandford was financially and mentally strained. He could not raise capital but was unwilling to cede his management to external investors such as John Lysaght Ltd., and although [Charles Hoskins](/wiki/Charles_Hoskins "Charles Hoskins") and his brother George looked at the plant, they pulled out when they saw the state of the books.[alt\=Blast Furnace at Lithgow (early C20th prior to 1928\).\|thumb\|260x260px\|Blast Furnaces at Lithgow. Because there are two furnaces shown, this photograph was taken, between 1913 and 1928, during the period the Hoskins owned the plant.](/wiki/File:Blast_furnace_at_Lithgow%2C_N.S.W._-_very_early_1900s.jpg "Blast furnace at Lithgow, N.S.W. - very early 1900s.jpg")
The [Commercial Banking Company of Sydney](/wiki/Commercial_Banking_Company_of_Sydney "Commercial Banking Company of Sydney"), which had underwritten the operation, foreclosed on the ironworks on 9 December 1907, although it kept the Blast Furnace running. William Sandford Limited could not fulfil its contract to supply the government with iron and steel. With 700 out of work, the [Premier](/wiki/Premier_of_New_South_Wales "Premier of New South Wales") invited the Hoskins brothers to take over the Lithgow iron and steelworks. They took over Sandford's overdraft of £138,000, paying £14,000 to shareholders in the form of 4 per cent bonds and paying £50,000 to Sandford himself.{{Citation\|last\=Parsons\|first\=George\|title\=Hoskins, Charles Henry (1851–1926\)\|url\=http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/hoskins\-charles\-henry\-6738\|work\=Australian Dictionary of Biography\|publisher\=National Centre of Biography, Australian National University\|access\-date\=2019\-06\-22}} Although the complicated deal ensured Sandford's debts were paid and he received enough money to guarantee his financial security, he was devastated and felt deceived by Charles Hoskins. His parting with the Lithgow community was sad for him, his wife Caroline, the workers and their community.McKillop, 2006, online at Lithgow.com/historyavenue/1901\_steel.html
In 1908 the company was purchased by Hoskins Bros, owners of the premier manufacturer of iron pipes in Australia. They made few initial alterations to the Blast Furnace, although the ironworks underwent substantial changes. The Hoskins also succeeded in having Sandford's government contract transferred to themselves and extended until the end of 1916\. Their success prompted them to build 80 coke ovens and a second blast furnace at the eastern end of the site in 1913\. The second furnace was a near replica of Sandford's original construction, although slightly larger. Fifteen coke ovens were added shortly afterwards to cope with the extra fuel requirements.
The Hoskins were highly active in the development of the ironworking industry and staunchly opposed the growth of unionism. The Hoskins were clear\-sighted about the technological problems of the steel and ironworks, and the labour issues, and had considerable business acumen, but Charles Hoskins was impatient and imperious and provoked industrial unrest as soon as he set foot in Lithgow in 1908\. He was also a protectionist, and although his negotiations with government over tariffs were never entirely successful, he did manage to get the Eskbank enterprise onto a solid footing before the surge in production caused by World War I.
The outbreak of WWI saw considerable expansion in operations, although Lithgow's monopoly on iron smelting was about to be seriously challenged by [BHP](/wiki/BHP "BHP"), who opened their [Newcastle](/wiki/Newcastle%2C_New_South_Wales "Newcastle, New South Wales") plant in 1915\.

"Lithgow's association with its iron and steel works was another of this city's big manufacturing eras. Its iron and steel works commenced in October 1875 when the first iron smelting took place.

"### Since 1901",
"On 24 April 1901 Sandford organised a gala dinner to announce that he and his son Esk had successfully tapped the first viable quantities of steel produced in Australia at the Eskbank Ironworks. He had been working Eskbank since the 1880s, and although tapping steel was a triumph, he was nearly exhausted by it. Sandford felt iron and steel were basic commodities and needed to be boosted, and tried every which way to protect and support his venture. While Lithgow's coal miners were free traders, iron workers and their bosses were protectionists, so, to advance his cause, Sandford ran as a protectionist against [Joseph Cook](/wiki/Joseph_Cook \"Joseph Cook\") in the 1901 federal parliamentary election. He then tried to convince the NSW government to take over the works.",
"Finally, when a tender for steel and iron supply became available he bribed three parliamentarians, including William Holman, to win the contract. Part of that deal included the construction of a blast furnace, to enable production of pig iron for steel. Sandford complied.\n[thumb\\|William Sandford Limited's new blast furnace in May 1907\\.{{Cite news\\|date\\=1907\\-05\\-15\\|title\\=A Big Stride in National Progress.\\|pages\\=1245\\|work\\=Sydney Mail and New South Wales Advertiser (NSW : 1871 \\- 1912\\)\\|url\\=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news\\-article165392694\\|access\\-date\\=2020\\-05\\-05}}\\|344x344px](/wiki/File:Lithgow_Blast_Furnace_May_1907_%28Sydney_Mail_15_May_1907%2C_Page_1245%29.jpg \"Lithgow Blast Furnace May 1907 (Sydney Mail 15 May 1907, Page 1245).jpg\")\nThe Blast Furnace was \"blown in\" and officially opened by the premier of New South Wales, on 13 May 1907\\. It was Sandford's proudest moment and won him the title of the father of the Australian steel industry. His relations with workers were relatively harmonious and beneficent and the Eskbank estate was, to him, a satisfyingly noisy and smoky place. However behind the scenes, Sandford was financially and mentally strained. He could not raise capital but was unwilling to cede his management to external investors such as John Lysaght Ltd., and although [Charles Hoskins](/wiki/Charles_Hoskins \"Charles Hoskins\") and his brother George looked at the plant, they pulled out when they saw the state of the books.[alt\\=Blast Furnace at Lithgow (early C20th prior to 1928\\).\\|thumb\\|260x260px\\|Blast Furnaces at Lithgow.

"The [Commercial Banking Company of Sydney](/wiki/Commercial_Banking_Company_of_Sydney \"Commercial Banking Company of Sydney\"), which had underwritten the operation, foreclosed on the ironworks on 9 December 1907, although it kept the Blast Furnace running. William Sandford Limited could not fulfil its contract to supply the government with iron and steel. With 700 out of work, the [Premier](/wiki/Premier_of_New_South_Wales \"Premier of New South Wales\") invited the Hoskins brothers to take over the Lithgow iron and steelworks. They took over Sandford's overdraft of £138,000, paying £14,000 to shareholders in the form of 4 per cent bonds and paying £50,000 to Sandford himself.{{Citation\\|last\\=Parsons\\|first\\=George\\|title\\=Hoskins, Charles Henry (1851–1926\\)\\|url\\=http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/hoskins\\-charles\\-henry\\-6738\\|work\\=Australian Dictionary of Biography\\|publisher\\=National Centre of Biography, Australian National University\\|access\\-date\\=2019\\-06\\-22}} Although the complicated deal ensured Sandford's debts were paid and he received enough money to guarantee his financial security, he was devastated and felt deceived by Charles Hoskins. His parting with the Lithgow community was sad for him, his wife Caroline, the workers and their community.McKillop, 2006, online at Lithgow.com/historyavenue/1901\\_steel.html",
"In 1908 the company was purchased by Hoskins Bros, owners of the premier manufacturer of iron pipes in Australia. They made few initial alterations to the Blast Furnace, although the ironworks underwent substantial changes. The Hoskins also succeeded in having Sandford's government contract transferred to themselves and extended until the end of 1916\\. Their success prompted them to build 80 coke ovens and a second blast furnace at the eastern end of the site in 1913\\. The second furnace was a near replica of Sandford's original construction, although slightly larger. Fifteen coke ovens were added shortly afterwards to cope with the extra fuel requirements.",
"The Hoskins were highly active in the development of the ironworking industry and staunchly opposed the growth of unionism. The Hoskins were clear\\-sighted about the technological problems of the steel and ironworks, and the labour issues, and had considerable business acumen, but Charles Hoskins was impatient and imperious and provoked industrial unrest as soon as he set foot in Lithgow in 1908\\. He was also a protectionist, and although his negotiations with government over tariffs were never entirely successful, he did manage to get the Eskbank enterprise onto a solid footing before the surge in production caused by World War I.",
"The outbreak of WWI saw considerable expansion in operations, although Lithgow's monopoly on iron smelting was about to be seriously challenged by [BHP](/wiki/BHP \"BHP\"), who opened their [Newcastle](/wiki/Newcastle%2C_New_South_Wales \"Newcastle, New South Wales\") plant in 1915\\.

Output for all classes of finished iron and steel for the three years ending 31 December 1901 averaged over {{convert\\|7000\\|ST\\|t\\|order\\=flip}} per annum. It did not cover more than a small percentage of what was imported into [Sydney](/wiki/Sydney \"Sydney\").",
"The works and sidings occupied a space of about {{convert\\|12\\|acre\\|ha\\|0\\|order\\=flip}}, situated between the Main Western Railway Line and Farmer's Creek, being connected with the main line at Eskbank Station, with sidings all round the works. Sand for the works was obtained from Farmer's Creek, close by, and loam for the foundry from a paddock adjoining the works. Within the ironworks' fence is a colliery adit, where the coal was drawn out by an engine, and the same skips drawn around the works, so that coal was only handled once, into the skips; and the same skips were tipped into the furnace bins in the ironworks. Coal was thus used fresh from the colliery, and bore comparison in heating qualities with most of the English coals. On the siding to the works was situated the steam sawmills, where timber of any ordinary size could be cut and delivered to the works.",
"To heat the iron for the mill, four large furnaces were used, each capable of heating from {{convert\\|5\\-6\\|ST\\|t\\|order\\=flip}} of iron per shift. Attached were large horizontal boilers for raising steam by the waste\\-head from the furnaces. There was a great deal of equipment on site including immense Cornish boilers, weighing {{convert\\|22\\|ST\\|t\\|order\\=flip}} for raising steam by the waste heat from the furnaces. There was a {{convert\\|1\\.5\\|ST\\|t\\|adj\\=on\\|order\\=flip}} steam hammer, massive shears for cutting up rails into lengths, a large gantry, {{convert\\|36\\|in\\|cm\\|0\\|order\\=flip}} horizontal condensing {{convert\\|175\\|hp\\|kW\\|adj\\=on\\|order\\=flip}} engine and giant fly\\-wheels with {{convert\\|30\\|ft\\|m\\|0\\|order\\=flip}} diameters, weighing {{convert\\|40\\|ST\\|t\\|order\\=flip}}.",
"The No. 2 Sheet Mill had a {{convert\\|35\\|ST\\|t\\|adj\\=on\\|order\\=flip}} flywheel. In the fitting shops were lathes, screwing, drilling and punching machines, nut and bolt machines, and a complete spike\\-making machine, where spikes for the Railway Construction Department had been made the previous three years. The foundry department had two large travelling cranes, a large and small cupola and an air furnace. There was also a large Siemens melting furnace, for dealing with scrap, scrap and pig iron. It was complete with a steam travelling crane capable of lifting {{convert\\|7\\|ST\\|t\\|adj\\=on\\|order\\=flip}} cast iron moulds and large wrought iron ladles. Cement used in the works was mostly made at the [Cullen Bullen](/wiki/Cullen_Bullen%2C_New_South_Wales \"Cullen Bullen, New South Wales\") Company's lime and cement works, about {{convert\\|10\\|mi\\|km\\|order\\=flip}} from Lithgow There was another mill principally for rolling sheets for galvanising and corrugating sheets up to {{convert\\|12\\|ft\\|m\\|0\\|order\\=flip}} long and 27 gauge.",

### Since 1901
On 24 April 1901 Sandford organised a gala dinner to announce that he and his son Esk had successfully tapped the first viable quantities of steel produced in Australia at the Eskbank Ironworks. He had been working Eskbank since the 1880s, and although tapping steel was a triumph, he was nearly exhausted by it. Sandford felt iron and steel were basic commodities and needed to be boosted, and tried every which way to protect and support his venture. While Lithgow's coal miners were free traders, iron workers and their bosses were protectionists, so, to advance his cause, Sandford ran as a protectionist against [Joseph Cook](/wiki/Joseph_Cook "Joseph Cook") in the 1901 federal parliamentary election. He then tried to convince the NSW government to take over the works.
Finally, when a tender for steel and iron supply became available he bribed three parliamentarians, including William Holman, to win the contract. Part of that deal included the construction of a blast furnace, to enable production of pig iron for steel. Sandford complied.

The Blast Furnace was "blown in" and officially opened by the premier of New South Wales, on 13 May 1907\. It was Sandford's proudest moment and won him the title of the father of the Australian steel industry. His relations with workers were relatively harmonious and beneficent and the Eskbank estate was, to him, a satisfyingly noisy and smoky place. However behind the scenes, Sandford was financially and mentally strained. He could not raise capital but was unwilling to cede his management to external investors such as John Lysaght Ltd., and although [Charles Hoskins](/wiki/Charles_Hoskins "Charles Hoskins") and his brother George looked at the plant, they pulled out when they saw the state of the books.[alt\=Blast Furnace at Lithgow (early C20th prior to 1928\).\|thumb\|260x260px\|Blast Furnaces at Lithgow.

The [Commercial Banking Company of Sydney](/wiki/Commercial_Banking_Company_of_Sydney "Commercial Banking Company of Sydney"), which had underwritten the operation, foreclosed on the ironworks on 9 December 1907, although it kept the Blast Furnace running. William Sandford Limited could not fulfil its contract to supply the government with iron and steel. With 700 out of work, the [Premier](/wiki/Premier_of_New_South_Wales "Premier of New South Wales") invited the Hoskins brothers to take over the Lithgow iron and steelworks. They took over Sandford's overdraft of £138,000, paying £14,000 to shareholders in the form of 4 per cent bonds and paying £50,000 to Sandford himself.{{Citation\|last\=Parsons\|first\=George\|title\=Hoskins, Charles Henry (1851–1926\)\|url\=http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/hoskins\-charles\-henry\-6738\|work\=Australian Dictionary of Biography\|publisher\=National Centre of Biography, Australian National University\|access\-date\=2019\-06\-22}} Although the complicated deal ensured Sandford's debts were paid and he received enough money to guarantee his financial security, he was devastated and felt deceived by Charles Hoskins. His parting with the Lithgow community was sad for him, his wife Caroline, the workers and their community.McKillop, 2006, online at Lithgow.com/historyavenue/1901\_steel.html
In 1908 the company was purchased by Hoskins Bros, owners of the premier manufacturer of iron pipes in Australia. They made few initial alterations to the Blast Furnace, although the ironworks underwent substantial changes. The Hoskins also succeeded in having Sandford's government contract transferred to themselves and extended until the end of 1916\. Their success prompted them to build 80 coke ovens and a second blast furnace at the eastern end of the site in 1913\. The second furnace was a near replica of Sandford's original construction, although slightly larger. Fifteen coke ovens were added shortly afterwards to cope with the extra fuel requirements.
The Hoskins were highly active in the development of the ironworking industry and staunchly opposed the growth of unionism. The Hoskins were clear\-sighted about the technological problems of the steel and ironworks, and the labour issues, and had considerable business acumen, but Charles Hoskins was impatient and imperious and provoked industrial unrest as soon as he set foot in Lithgow in 1908\. He was also a protectionist, and although his negotiations with government over tariffs were never entirely successful, he did manage to get the Eskbank enterprise onto a solid footing before the surge in production caused by World War I.
The outbreak of WWI saw considerable expansion in operations, although Lithgow's monopoly on iron smelting was about to be seriously challenged by [BHP](/wiki/BHP "BHP"), who opened their [Newcastle](/wiki/Newcastle%2C_New_South_Wales "Newcastle, New South Wales") plant in 1915\. However, the opening of a Small Arms factory in Lithgow ensured that the Hoskins' works flourished. A great deal of their profit was ploughed back into the expansion of capacity at the steelworks. In 1923 a fifth blowing engine was added to the original furnace. At {{convert\|400\|ST\|t\|order\=flip}}, it was the largest in Australia.
In the mid 1920s, the decision was taken to move operations to [Port Kembla](/wiki/Port_Kembla%2C_New_South_Wales "Port Kembla, New South Wales"), where the natural resource and transport network were more attractive. The first parts of the Lithgow site were closed in 1928, although the last employees were dismissed in 1932\.
The site was bought by the Lithgow City Council and was opened to the public as The Lithgow Blast Furnace Park in 1988\.

Professional career
-------------------
Plum played quarterback, [defensive back](/wiki/Defensive_back "Defensive back"), [punter](/wiki/Punter_%28football_position%29 "Punter (football position)") and [placekicker](/wiki/Placekicker "Placekicker") at [Penn State](/wiki/Penn_State_Nittany_Lions_football "Penn State Nittany Lions football") following his prep years playing for [Woodbury High School](/wiki/Woodbury_Junior-Senior_High_School "Woodbury Junior-Senior High School"). After using their first\-round pick in the 1957 [NFL Draft](/wiki/NFL_Draft "NFL Draft") on [Jim Brown](/wiki/Jim_Brown "Jim Brown"), the Browns chose Plum in the second round.
Plum got onto the field at quarterback in the fourth game of the 1957 season when starter [Tommy O'Connell](/wiki/Tommy_O%27Connell "Tommy O'Connell") got hurt against the [Philadelphia Eagles](/wiki/Philadelphia_Eagles "Philadelphia Eagles"). Plum and O'Connell split time throughout the rest of the 1957 season, in which the Browns went 9\-2\-1 and won the Eastern Conference.
O'Connell left the NFL after the 1957 season, and over the next four years, Plum was a consistent part of an offense built around the running of Jim Brown and [Bobby Mitchell](/wiki/Bobby_Mitchell "Bobby Mitchell").
Plum's [passer rating](/wiki/Passer_rating "Passer rating") of 110\.4 in 1960 season was the best single\-season mark until 1989 when [San Francisco](/wiki/San_Francisco_49ers "San Francisco 49ers") quarterback [Joe Montana](/wiki/Joe_Montana "Joe Montana") surpassed it with a rating of 112\.4\. For his five seasons with Cleveland combined, Plum had a rating of 89\.9, ranking him first among Browns quarterbacks with at least 750 pass attempts.
In 1960 and 1961, Plum's backup was [Len Dawson](/wiki/Len_Dawson "Len Dawson"), who went on to have a [Hall of Fame](/wiki/Pro_Football_Hall_of_Fame "Pro Football Hall of Fame") career with the [Kansas City Chiefs](/wiki/Kansas_City_Chiefs "Kansas City Chiefs") of the [American Football League](/wiki/American_Football_League "American Football League").
The Browns traded Plum to the Lions as part of a six\-player deal before the 1962 season. The Lions lacked the powerful running game of the Browns, forcing Plum to rely more often on his arm. Although he started strong, leading to the Lions to a 3–0 start, things went downhill after a costly interception in Week 4 led to a loss to the [Green Bay Packers](/wiki/Green_Bay_Packers "Green Bay Packers"). Late in the season, head coach [George Wilson](/wiki/George_Wilson_%28football_coach%29 "George Wilson (football coach)") benched Plum several times in favor of [Earl Morrall](/wiki/Earl_Morrall "Earl Morrall"). The Lions finished 11–3, two games behind Green Bay.
Plum lost the starting\-quarterback job to Morrall in 1963, but regained it when Morrall got hurt early in the 1964 season. 1964 wound up being Plum's best year in Detroit; he threw for 2,241 yards and 18 touchdowns, and the Lions finished 7–5–2\. The Lions traded Morrall to the Giants before the 1965 season, and Plum struggled that year, completing fewer than half of his passes. In 1966, Plum suffered a knee injury and was replaced by [Karl Sweetan](/wiki/Karl_Sweetan "Karl Sweetan"), who shared time with Plum in 1967\.
Plum backed up [Roman Gabriel](/wiki/Roman_Gabriel "Roman Gabriel") on the 1968 Rams and [Fran Tarkenton](/wiki/Fran_Tarkenton "Fran Tarkenton") and [Gary Wood](/wiki/Gary_Wood "Gary Wood") on the 1969 Giants, playing sparingly both years. He retired after the 1969 season and moved to Raleigh, North Carolina.

Political approval process
--------------------------
{{more citations needed section\|date\=August 2014}}
Failing to gain public support from senior ministers, Sharon agreed that the [Likud](/wiki/Likud "Likud") party would hold a [referendum](/wiki/Referendum "Referendum") on the plan in advance of a vote by the [Israeli Cabinet](/wiki/Cabinet_of_Israel "Cabinet of Israel"). The referendum was held on May 2, 2004, and ended with 65% of the voters against the disengagement plan, despite some polls showing approximately 55% of Likud members supporting the plan before the referendum. Commentators and the press described the rejection of the plan as a blow to Sharon. Sharon himself announced that he accepted the Likud referendum results and would take time to consider his steps. He ordered [Minister of Defense](/wiki/List_of_Defense_Ministers_of_Israel "List of Defense Ministers of Israel") [Shaul Mofaz](/wiki/Shaul_Mofaz "Shaul Mofaz") to create an amended plan which Likud voters could accept.[Unilateral Israeli 'Disengagement Plan' from Gaza Strip and Four West Bank Settlements](https://www.arij.org/atlas40/chapter4.2.html) Retrieved 25 May 2024
On June 6, 2004, Sharon's government approved an amended disengagement plan, but with the reservation that the dismantling of each settlement should be voted separately. The plan was approved with a 14–7 majority but only after the [National Union](/wiki/National_Union_%28Israel%29 "National Union (Israel)") ministers and cabinet members [Avigdor Liberman](/wiki/Avigdor_Liberman "Avigdor Liberman") and [Binyamin Elon](/wiki/Binyamin_Elon "Binyamin Elon") were dismissed from the cabinet, and a compromise offer by Likud's cabinet member [Tzipi Livni](/wiki/Tzipi_Livni "Tzipi Livni") was achieved.
Following the approval of the plan, it was decided to close the Erez industrial zone and move its factories to cities and towns in Israel such as [Ashkelon](/wiki/Ashkelon "Ashkelon"), [Dimona](/wiki/Dimona "Dimona"), [Yeruham](/wiki/Yeruham "Yeruham"), and [Sderot](/wiki/Sderot "Sderot"). [Ehud Olmert](/wiki/Ehud_Olmert "Ehud Olmert"), then the Minister of Industry, Trade, and Labor, stated that the closing was part of Israel's plan to withdraw from the Gaza Strip.{{cite web\|url\=http://washingtontimes.com/upi\-breaking/20040703\-075239\-5669r.htm \|title\= This story is no longer available – Washington Times\|publisher\=WashingtonTimes.com \|access\-date\=January 20, 2013}}
As a result of the passing of the plan (in principle), two [National Religious Party](/wiki/National_Religious_Party "National Religious Party") (NRP) ministers, [Effi Eitam](/wiki/Effi_Eitam "Effi Eitam") and [Yitzhak Levi](/wiki/Yitzhak_Levi "Yitzhak Levi"), resigned, leaving the government with a minority in the [Knesset](/wiki/Knesset "Knesset"). Later, the entire faction quit after their calls to hold a national referendum were ignored.
Sharon's pushing through this plan alienated many of his supporters on the right and garnered him unusual support from the left\-wing in Israel. The right believes that Sharon ignored the mandate he had been elected on, and instead adopted the platform of his [Labor](/wiki/Labor_Party_%28Israel%29 "Labor Party (Israel)") opponent, [Amram Mitzna](/wiki/Amram_Mitzna "Amram Mitzna"), who was overwhelmingly defeated when he campaigned on a disengagement plan of far smaller magnitude. At that time, Sharon referred to Gaza communities such as [Netzarim](/wiki/Netzarim_%28settlement%29 "Netzarim (settlement)") as "no different than [Tel Aviv](/wiki/Tel_Aviv "Tel Aviv")", and said that they are of such strategic value that "the fate of Netzarim is the fate of Tel Aviv."
Many on both sides remained skeptical of his will to withdraw beyond Gaza and the northern West Bank. Sharon had a majority for the plan in the government but not within his party. This forced him to seek a National Unity government, which was established in January 2005\. Opponents of the plan, and some ministers, such as [Benjamin Netanyahu](/wiki/Benjamin_Netanyahu "Benjamin Netanyahu") and former minister [Natan Sharansky](/wiki/Natan_Sharansky "Natan Sharansky"), called on Sharon to hold a national referendum to prove that he had a mandate, which he refused to do.
On September 14, the Israeli cabinet approved, by a 9–1 majority, plans to compensate settlers who left the Gaza Strip, with only the NRP's [Zevulun Orlev](/wiki/Zevulun_Orlev "Zevulun Orlev") opposing. The government's plan for compensation used a formula that based actual amounts on location, house size, and number of family members among other factors. Most families were expected to receive between US$200,000 and 300,000\.
On October 11, at the opening of the Knesset winter session, Sharon outlined his plan to start legislation for the disengagement in the beginning of November. In a symbolic act, the Knesset voted 53–44 against Sharon's address: Labor voted against, while the [National Religious Party](/wiki/National_Religious_Party "National Religious Party") and ten members of Likud refused to support Sharon in the vote.{{clarify\|date\=July 2015}}
On October 26, the Knesset gave preliminary approval for the plan with 67 for, 45 against, seven abstentions, and one member absent. Netanyahu and three other cabinet ministers from Sharon's ruling Likud government threatened to resign unless Sharon agreed to hold a national referendum on the plan within fourteen days.
On November 9, Netanyahu withdrew his resignation threat, saying "In this new situation \[the death of [Yasser Arafat](/wiki/Yasser_Arafat "Yasser Arafat")], I decided to stay in the government". Following the vote fourteen days earlier, and Sharon's subsequent refusal to budge on the referendum issue, the three other cabinet ministers from the Likud party backed down from their threat within days.
On December 30, Sharon made a deal with the Labor Party to form a coalition, with [Shimon Peres](/wiki/Shimon_Peres "Shimon Peres") becoming [Vice Premier](/wiki/Deputy_Leader_of_Israel "Deputy Leader of Israel"), restoring the government's majority in the Knesset.
On February 16, 2005, the Knesset finalized and approved the plan with 59 in favor, 40 opposed, 5 abstaining. A proposed amendment to submit the plan to a referendum was rejected, 29–72\.
On March 17, the [Southern Command](/wiki/Southern_Command_%28Israel%29 "Southern Command (Israel)") of the [Israel Defense Forces](/wiki/Israel_Defense_Forces "Israel Defense Forces") issued a military order prohibiting Israeli citizens not living in the Gaza Strip settlements from taking up residence there.
On March 28, the Knesset again rejected a bill to delay the implementation of the disengagement plan by a vote of 72 to 39\. The bill was introduced by a group of Likud MKs who wanted to force a referendum on the issue.{{cite news\|url\=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle\_east/4386937\.stm \|title\=Knesset rejects Gaza referendum \|work\=BBC News \|date\=March 28, 2005 \|access\-date\=January 20, 2013}}
On August 7, Netanyahu resigned just before the cabinet ratification of the first phase of the disengagement plan by a vote of 17 to 5\. Netanyahu blamed the Israeli government for moving "blindly along" with the disengagement by not taking into account the expected upsurge in terrorism.
On August 10, in his first speech before the Knesset following his resignation, Netanyahu spoke of the necessity for Knesset members to oppose the proposed disengagement:
> Only we in the Knesset are able to stop this evil. Everything that the Knesset has decided, it is also capable of changing. I am calling on all those who grasp the danger: Gather strength and do the right thing. I don't know if the entire move can be stopped, but it still might be stopped in its initial stages. \[Don't] give \[the Palestinians] guns, don't give them rockets, don't give them a sea port, and don't give them a huge base for terror.[Israel's Disengagement Plan: Conception and Implementation](https://www.iemed.org/publication/israels-disengagement-plan-conception-and-implementation/) Retrieved 4 November 2023[Israel's Disengagement Plan: Selected Documents](https://www.gov.il/en/Departments/General/israeli-disengagement-plan-20-jan-2005) gov.il Retrieved 4 November 2023
On August 15, Sharon said that, while he had hoped Israel could keep the Gaza settlements forever, reality simply intervened. "It is out of strength and not weakness that we are taking this step", repeating his argument that the disengagement plan has given Israel the diplomatic initiative.
On August 31, the Knesset voted to withdraw from the Gaza–Egypt border and allow Egyptian deployment of border police along the demilitarized Egyptian side of the border, revising the previously stated intent to maintain Israeli control of the border.

Execution of the plan

### Gaza Strip

The disengagement began with Operation "Yad l'Achim" ({{Lang\-he\|מבצע יד לאחים}}, "Giving brothers a hand").
The aim of the operation was to give the [Gush Katif](/wiki/Gush_Katif "Gush Katif") settlers the option to leave voluntarily. IDF soldiers helped the settlers who chose to do so by packing their belongings and carrying them. During the operation, soldiers went into settlers' homes and presented them with removal decrees. In addition, the IDF arranged crews of social nurses, psychologists, and support to youths.
On April 8, 2005, Defense Minister [Shaul Mofaz](/wiki/Shaul_Mofaz "Shaul Mofaz") said that Israel should consider not demolishing the evacuated buildings in the Gaza Strip, with the exception of synagogues (due to fears of their potential desecration, which eventually did occur),{{cite news\|url\=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle\_east/article565679\.ece \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20100610215925/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle\_east/article565679\.ece \|url\-status\=dead \|archive\-date\=June 10, 2010 \|title\=The Times Online \|publisher\=The Times Online \|access\-date\=January 20, 2013 \|location\=London}} since it would be more costly and time\-consuming. This contrasted with the original plan by the Prime Minister to demolish all vacated buildings.
On May 9, the beginning of the evacuation of settlements was officially postponed from July 20 until August 15, so as to not coincide with the Jewish period of [The Three Weeks](/wiki/The_Three_Weeks "The Three Weeks") and the fast of [Tisha B'Av](/wiki/Tisha_B%27Av "Tisha B'Av"), traditionally marking grief and destruction.
On July 13, Sharon signed the closure order of Gush Katif, making the area a closed military zone. From that point on, only residents who presented Israeli ID cards with their registered address in Gush Katif were permitted to enter. Permits for 24–48 hours were given to select visitors for a few weeks before the entire area was completely sealed off to non\-residents. Despite this ban, opponents of the disengagement managed to sneak in by foot through fields and bare soil. Estimates range from a few hundred to a few thousand people for those there illegally at that time. At one point, Sharon contemplated deploying [Israel Border Police](/wiki/Israel_Border_Police "Israel Border Police") (*Magav*) forces to remove non\-residents, but decided against it, as the manpower requirement would have been too great.
At midnight between August 14 and 15, the Kissufim crossing was shut down, and the Gaza Strip became officially closed for entrance by Israelis. The evacuation by agreement continued after midnight of the August 17 for settlers who requested a time extension for packing their things. The Gush Katif Municipal Council threatened to unilaterally declare independence, citing the [Gaza Strip](/wiki/Gaza_Strip "Gaza Strip")'s internationally disputed status and [Halacha](/wiki/Halacha "Halacha") as a foundation. Meanwhile, on August 14, {{Ill\|Aryeh Yitzhaki\|he\|אריה יצחקי}} proclaimed the independence of [Shirat HaYam](/wiki/Shirat_HaYam "Shirat HaYam") as "The Independent Jewish Authority in Gaza Beach", and submitted appeals for recognition to the [United Nations](/wiki/United_Nations "United Nations") and [Red Cross](/wiki/Red_Cross "Red Cross").
On August 15, the evacuation commenced under the orders of Maj. Gen. [Dan Harel](/wiki/Dan_Harel "Dan Harel") of the [Southern Command](/wiki/Southern_Command_%28Israel%29 "Southern Command (Israel)"). At 8 a.m., a convoy of security forces entered [Neve Dekalim](/wiki/Neve_Dekalim "Neve Dekalim") and began evacuating residents. Many settlers chose to leave peacefully, others were forcibly evicted, and some attempted to block buses and clashed with security forces. The evacuations of six settlements then commenced as 14,000 Israeli soldiers and police officers forcibly evicted settlers and "mistanenim" (infiltrators). They went house to house, ordering settlers to leave and breaking down the doors of those who did not. There were scenes of troops dragging screaming and sobbing families from houses and synagogues, but with less violence than expected. Some of the soldiers were also observed sobbing, and there were instances of soldiers joining settlers in prayer before evicting them. Some settlers lit their homes on fire as they evacuated so as to leave the Palestinians nothing. Settlers blocked roads, lit fires, and pleaded with soldiers to disobey orders. One West Bank settler set herself on fire in front of a Gaza checkpoint, and in [Neve Dekalim](/wiki/Neve_Dekalim "Neve Dekalim"), a group of fifteen American Orthodox Jews barricaded themselves in a basement and threatened to light themselves on fire.{{cite news\|url\=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,251\-1739941,00\.html \|archive\-url\=https://archive.today/20060113182551/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,251\-1739941,00\.html \|url\-status\=dead \|archive\-date\=January 13, 2006 \|title\=TimesOnline.co.uk \|publisher\=TimesOnline.co.uk \|date\=March 13, 2012 \|access\-date\=January 20, 2013 \|location\=London}}
[Kfar Darom](/wiki/Kfar_Darom "Kfar Darom") was next evacuated. Residents and their supporters strung up barbed wire fences around the area, and security forces cut their way in. Some 300 settlers barricaded themselves in the local synagogue, while another group barricaded themselves on the roof with barbed wire, and pelted security forces with various objects. Police removed them by force after negotiations failed, and there were injuries to both settlers and officers. On August 17, the settlement of [Morag](/wiki/Morag_%28moshav%29 "Morag (moshav)") was evacuated by 200 police officers.
On August 18, Shirat HaYam was evacuated by military and police forces, after infiltrators had been removed and the settlement's speaker system was disabled after settlers used it to call on troops to disobey orders. Youth placed obstacles made of flammable materials and torched tires and garbage dumpsters. Fires spread to Palestinian areas, and IDF bulldozers were deployed to put them out. A number of people also barricaded themselves in the synagogue and public buildings and on a deserted rooftop. [Aryeh Yitzhaki](/wiki/Aryeh_Yitzhaki "Aryeh Yitzhaki") defended his home with an [M16 rifle](/wiki/M16_rifle "M16 rifle"), and dozens of settlers barricaded themselves inside or on the roof of his home, with at least four of those on the rooftop being armed. A brief stand\-off with security forces ensued, and snipers were deployed after Yitzhaki threatened to fire at troops. Security forces stormed the rooftop and arrested settlers without any violence. IDF and police forces evacuated the home after Yitzhaki surrendered weapons and ammunition belonging to his group, but were met with bags of paint and whitewash thrown by settlers, and Yitzhaki's wife and another right\-wing activist initially refused to evacuate and lay on the ground holding their infants.{{cite news\|url\=http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L\-3129848,00\.html \|title\=Forces storm militant settler's home \|newspaper\=Ynetnews \|date\=June 20, 1995 \|access\-date\=January 20, 2013}}

On August 28, the IDF began dismantling Gush Katif's 48\-grave cemetery. All of the bodies were removed by special teams of soldiers supervised by the [Military Rabbinate](/wiki/Military_Rabbinate "Military Rabbinate") and reburied in locations of their families' choosing. In accordance with Jewish law, all soil touching the remains was also transferred, and the dead were given second funerals, with the families observing a one\-day mourning period.

When the disengagement began, Israel had not yet decided on whether or not to withdraw from the [Philadelphi Route](/wiki/Philadelphi_Route "Philadelphi Route"), a narrow strip of land serving as a buffer zone along the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. Although Sharon was initially opposed to withdrawing from the Philadelphi Route, he relented after legal advisers told him that it was impossible to declare Israel had fully withdrawn from the Gaza Strip so long as it controlled the border with Egypt.{{cite news\|url\=https://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L\-4673336,00\.html\|title\=מנותקים מהמציאות. עשור להתנתקות\|first\=אלכס\|last\=פישמן\|date\=June 27, 2015\|access\-date\=October 14, 2018\|newspaper\=Ynet}} On August 28, the Israeli government approved the Philadelphi Accord, under which Egypt, which was prohibited from militarizing the Sinai without Israeli approval as per its peace treaty with Israel, was authorized to deploy 750 border guards equipped with heavy weaponry to the Philadelphi Route.

The Israeli Supreme Court, in response to a settlers' petition to block the government's destruction of the synagogues, gave the go\-ahead to the Israeli government. Sharon decided not to proceed with their demolition, however. On September 11, the Israeli cabinet revised an earlier decision to destroy the synagogues of the settlements. The [Palestinian Authority](/wiki/Palestinian_National_Authority "Palestinian National Authority") protested Israel's decision, arguing that it would rather Israel dismantle the synagogues.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.imra.org.il/story.php3?id\=26819 \|title\=IMRA.org \|publisher\=IMRA.org \|date\=September 10, 2005 \|access\-date\=January 20, 2013}} On September 11, a ceremony was held when the last Israeli flag was lowered in the IDF's Gaza Strip divisional headquarters.{{cite news\|url\=http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/09/11/gaza/index.html \|title\=CNN.com \|publisher\=Edition.cnn.com \|access\-date\=January 20, 2013}} All remaining IDF forces left the Gaza Strip in the following hours.

### Northern West Bank (Samaria)
On September 22, the IDF evacuated the four settlements in the northern West Bank. While the residents of Ganim and Kadim, mostly middle\-class seculars, had long since left their homes, several families and about 2,000 outsiders tried to prevent the evacuation of Sa\-Nur and Homesh, which had a larger percent of observant population. Following negotiations, the evacuation was completed relatively peacefully. The settlements were subsequently razed, with 270 homes being bulldozed. In Sa\-Nur, the synagogue was left intact, but was buried under mounds of sand by bulldozers to prevent its destruction by the Palestinians.{{cite news\|url\=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle\_east/4267048\.stm \|title\=BBC report \|work\=BBC News \|date\=September 21, 2005 \|access\-date\=January 20, 2013}}
During the pullout, hundreds of people were arrested for rioting, and criminal charges were filed against 482 of them. On January 25, 2010, the [Knesset](/wiki/Knesset "Knesset") passed a bill granting a general amnesty to around 400 of them, mostly teenagers. While most had by then finished serving their sentences, their criminal records were expunged. The people who were not pardoned as part of this amnesty had either been convicted of crimes that involved endangering human life, and involved the use of explosives or serious violence, or had a previous criminal record.{{cite news\|last\=Lis \|first\=Jonathan \|url\=http://www.haaretz.com/news/israel\-to\-expunge\-criminal\-records\-of\-400\-gaza\-pullout\-opponents\-1\.262063 \|title\=Israel to expunge criminal records of 400 Gaza pullout opponents \|publisher\=Haaretz.com \|date\=January 25, 2010 \|access\-date\=January 20, 2013\|newspaper\=Haaretz }}

When Israel left, large numbers of greenhouses that had been handed over to assist economic regrowth were destroyed by Israeli settlers or damaged by Palestinians.{{cite news \|url\=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/15/world/middleeast/israeli\-settlers\-demolish\-greenhouses\-and\-gaza\-jobs.html \|title\=Israeli Settlers Demolish Greenhouses and Gaza Jobs \|work\=\[\[The New York Times]]\|date\=July 15, 2005 \|last1\=Erlanger \|first1\=Steven }}[J.

### Lawsuits to stop evictions
On June 9, 2005, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled the Gaza withdrawal plan was constitutional, rejecting 12 petitions by opponents of the withdrawal. In their 320\-page ruling, the judges upheld four technical challenges dealing with financial compensation for settlers who were to be evicted, but stressed the withdrawal itself was constitutional and did not violate the human rights of Israeli settlers.{{cite web\|url\=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/jun/09/israel\|title\=Court approves Gaza withdrawal\|author\=\[\[Associated Press]]\|date\=June 9, 2005\|work\=\[\[The Guardian]]}}
Yoram Sheftel, a lawyer for the settlers, said his expectations were low because the Supreme Court tended to side with the government against Israeli settlers. He said "We didn't expect anything from this court since the petitioners are Jews and patriots. This was fully expected." However, [Israeli justice minister](/wiki/Ministry_of_Justice_%28Israel%29 "Ministry of Justice (Israel)") [Tzipi Livni](/wiki/Tzipi_Livni "Tzipi Livni") praised the court decision, expressing hope that the ruling would defuse potentially [violent settler resistance](/wiki/Israeli_settler_violence "Israeli settler violence") to the evacuation. She told [Army Radio](/wiki/Army_Radio "Army Radio") "I hope this ruling makes it absolutely clear to the individual settler that the plan is going ahead."
Israeli settlers in Gaza also attempted to stop the evictions by saying they were [protected persons](/wiki/Protected_persons "Protected persons") under [Article 4](/wiki/s:Geneva_Convention/Fourth_Geneva_Convention%23Article_4 "Geneva Convention/Fourth Geneva Convention#Article 4") of the [Fourth Geneva Convention](/wiki/Fourth_Geneva_Convention "Fourth Geneva Convention") and therefore it would be a [war crime](/wiki/War_crime "War crime") for Israel to evict them from the region per [Article 49](/wiki/s:Geneva_Convention/Fourth_Geneva_Convention%23Article_49 "Geneva Convention/Fourth Geneva Convention#Article 49") of the same convention.

Aftermath
---------
The year of the disengagement would see the removal of 8,475 settlers from Gaza, while in that same year the number of new settlers in the West Bank increased by 15,000\.{{Cite web \|title\=Palestine: The Forgotten Reality \|url\=https://archive.globalpolicy.org/security\-council/index\-of\-countries\-on\-the\-security\-council\-agenda/israel\-palestine\-and\-the\-occupied\-territories/38326\.html \|access\-date\=2024\-09\-13 \|website\=archive.globalpolicy.org}} After Israel's disengagement, there was increased freedom of movement within Gaza due to Israel's removal of its settlements. Israel's disengagement also resulted in loss of the settlement factories, workshops, and greenhouses where Gazans were employed.{{Cite news \|last1\=Farrell \|first1\=Stephen \|last2\=Farrell \|first2\=Stephen \|date\=2023\-11\-02 \|title\=Israel\-Gaza war: a timeline of the conflict's history \|url\=https://www.reuters.com/world/middle\-east/gazas\-centuries\-war\-brief\-history\-2023\-10\-30/ \|access\-date\=2023\-11\-06 \|work\=Reuters \|language\=en}} The year following the disengagement saw a tightening of external Israeli control over Gaza, specifically, the closure of crossings into Gaza for people and goods, increased restrictions on the coastline for fishing, and increased aerial, maritime and on the ground military activity. The Israeli human rights organization [Gisha](/wiki/Gisha_%28human_rights_organization%29 "Gisha (human rights organization)") lists various examples of actions requiring Israeli permission or approval in the year following the disengagement. These restrictions include the need for Israeli permission to import basic necessities such as milk, to host foreign lecturers at universities, and register children in the Palestinian population registry. Additionally, fishermen must obtain permission to fish off Gaza's coast, and nonprofits need approval to receive tax\-exempt donations. Financial transactions such as the transfer of salaries to teachers are also controlled by Israel, which affects the payment of salaries by the Palestinian Ministry of Education. Moreover, farmers require authorization to export agricultural products, and students wishing to study abroad depend on Israel's approval for the opening of the Gaza\-Egypt crossing.
Political economist [Sara Roy](/wiki/Sara_Roy "Sara Roy") describes the disengagement from Gaza as completing the separation and isolation of the Gaza Strip from the West Bank. She describes the period before the disengagement as a period of increasing dependence on the Israeli economy and that of the West Bank, while the period after the disengagement is characterized by economic, social and political isolation of Gaza. She describes the disengagement as normalizing the occupation in the eyes of the international community, despite the expansion of the occupation and the lack of any "safe passage" between Gaza and the West Bank.{{cite book \|author\=Sara M.

### Compensation and resettlement
Under legislation passed by the [Knesset](/wiki/Knesset "Knesset"), evacuated settlers were to be compensated for the loss of their homes, lands, and businesses. Originally, the law only allowed anyone age 21 or over who had lived in one of the evacuated settlements for over five consecutive years to be compensated, but the [Israeli Supreme Court](/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_Israel "Supreme Court of Israel") ruled that compensation for younger settlers should also be included in compensation payments to evacuated families. Settlers who lived in the area for at least two years were eligible for more money. The Israeli government offered bonuses to settlers who moved to the [Galilee](/wiki/Galilee "Galilee") or [Negev](/wiki/Negev "Negev"), and implemented a program in which settlers had the option to build their own homes, with the option of a rental grant. The Housing Ministry doubled the number of apartments available in the Negev. Farmers were offered farmland or plots of land on which to build a home, in exchange for reduced compensation. Land was to be compensated at a rate of $50,000 per [dunam](/wiki/Dunam "Dunam") ({{convert\|202,000\|$/acre\|$/ha\|order\=flip\|disp\=or}}), with homes being compensated at a rate per square meter. Workers who lost their jobs were eligible for unemployment benefits ranging from minimum wage to twice the average salary, for up to six months. Workers aged 50 to 55 were offered years' worth of unemployment benefits, and those over 55 were eligible for a pension until age 67\. A special category was created for communities that moved en masse, with the government funding the replacement of communal buildings. In cases where communities did not stay together and communal property was lost, individuals would receive compensation for donations made to those buildings. Taxes on compensation sums given to business owners were reduced from ten to five percent. The total cost of the compensation package as adopted by the Knesset was 3\.8 billion [NIS](/wiki/Israeli_new_shekel "Israeli new shekel") (approximately $870 million). Following an increase in the number of compensation claims after the disengagement, another 1\.5 billion NIS (approximately $250 million) was added. In 2007, a further $125 million was added to the compensation budget. Approximately $176 million was to be paid directly to the evacuees, $66 million to private business owners, and the rest was allocated to finance the government's pullout\-related expenses. Yitzhak Meron, the lawyer who represented the evacuees, in dealing with the government offices, recently (11\.08\.2014\) described how this came about, as well as his perception of the situation.Hebrew <http://www.inn.co.il/News/News.aspx/281873>
According to an Israeli committee of inquiry, the government failed to properly implement its compensation plans.{{cite journal \|last\=Dromi \|first\=Shai M. \|year\=2014 \|title\=Uneasy Settlements: Reparation Politics and the Meanings of Money in the Israeli Withdrawal from Gaza \|url\=https://zenodo.org/record/976461 \|journal\=Sociological Inquiry \|volume\=84 \|issue\=1 \|pages\=294–315 \|doi\=10\.1111/soin.12028 \|issn\=0038\-0245 \|url\-access\= }} By April 2006, only minimal compensation (approximately $10,000\) had been paid to families to survive until they obtained new jobs, which was difficult for most people, considering that most of the newly unemployed were middle\-aged and lost the agricultural resources that were their livelihood. Those seeking compensation also had to negotiate legal and bureaucratic hurdles.
This criticism received further support from [State Comptroller](/wiki/State_Comptroller_of_Israel "State Comptroller of Israel") [Micha Lindenstrauss](/wiki/Micha_Lindenstrauss "Micha Lindenstrauss")'s, report, which determined that the treatment of the evacuees was a "big failure" and pointed out many shortcomings.
By 2007, 56\.8% of evacuees had found jobs, 22\.3% were unemployed and seeking work, and 31\.2% of evacuees were unemployed and living off government benefits rather than seeking work. The average monthly salary among the evacuees was NIS 5,380 (about $1,281\), a slight rise of 2\.1 percent from the average salary the year before. This was, however, a sharp drop of 39% from the settlers' average monthly income before the disengagement. The average salary among evacuees was lower than the general average, as compared to above average before the disengagement. In addition to a drop in salary, the evacuees also suffered a drop in their standard of living due to the increased price of goods and services in their places of residence as compared to the settlements.{{cite news \|last1\=Goldstein \|first1\=Tani \|date\=June 20, 1995 \|title\=Only half of Gaza evacuees working \|url\=http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L\-3375086,00\.html \|access\-date\=January 20, 2013 \|newspaper\=Ynetnews \|publisher\=Ynetnews.com}}
Following the disengagement, settlers were temporarily relocated to hotels, sometimes for as long as half a year, before moving to [mobile homes](/wiki/Mobile_home "Mobile home") as temporary housing known as 'caravillas', before they could build proper homes. By June 2014, about 60% of evacuees were still living in these caravillas. Only 40% had moved to permanent housing, although construction of permanent settlements for the evacuees continues to progress. By July 2014, eleven towns for the evacuees had been completed with the expellees joining ten additional towns.{{cite web \|title\=Communities \|url\=http://www.gushkatif.co.il/en/sectionsm/Communities/ \|url\-status\=dead \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20150724021812/http://www.gushkatif.co.il/en/sectionsm/Communities/ \|archive\-date\=July 24, 2015 \|access\-date\=July 23, 2015 \|publisher\=gushkatif.co.il}} Many of the permanent settlements under construction were given names reminiscent of the former Gaza settlements.

### Fatah–Hamas conflict
{{main\|Fatah–Hamas conflict\|Hamas government in the Gaza Strip}}
In September 2005, CNN reported increasing lawlessness in Gaza, rival militant groups competing for power, and hundreds of masked Hamas gunmen carrying rifles and grenade launchers marching through the streets of a refugee camp.
Following the withdrawal, [Hamas](/wiki/Hamas "Hamas") was elected as the Palestinian government which started the chain reaction leading to [Operation "Summer Rains"](/wiki/Operation_Summer_Rains "Operation Summer Rains") later within that year.
In December 2006, news reports indicated that a number of Palestinians were leaving the Gaza Strip, due to political disorder and "economic pressure" there.[SFgate.com](http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2006/12/09/international/i104249S77.DTL) {{Webarchive\|url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20070515044844/http://www.sfgate.com/cgi\-bin/article.cgi?f\=%2Fn%2Fa%2F2006%2F12%2F09%2Finternational%2Fi104249S77\.DTL\|date\=May 15, 2007}}, More Palestinians flee homelands, Sarah El Deeb, [Associated Press](/wiki/Associated_Press "Associated Press"), December 9, 2006\.

### Closure
A British Parliamentary commission, summing up the situation eight months later, found that while the [Rafah crossing](/wiki/Rafah_crossing "Rafah crossing") agreement worked efficiently (although this crossing was closed for 148 days in 2006{{cite web \|last\=Gisha \|title\=Disengaged Occupiers: The Legal Status of Gaza – Gisha \|url\=https://gisha.org/en/disengaged\-occupiers\-the\-legal\-status\-of\-gaza/ \|access\-date\=2024\-01\-21}}), from January–April 2006, the [Karni crossing](/wiki/Karni_crossing "Karni crossing") was closed 45% of the time, and severe limitations were in place on exports from Gaza, with, according to [OCHA](/wiki/OCHA "OCHA") figures, only 1,500 of 8,500 tons of produce getting through; that they were informed most closures were unrelated to security issues in Gaza but either responses to violence in the West Bank or for no given reason. The promised transit of convoys between Gaza and the West Bank was not honoured; with Israel insisting that such convoys could only pass if they passed through a specially constructed tunnel or ditch, requiring a specific construction project in the future; Israel withdrew from implementation talks in December 2005 after a suicide bombing attack on Israelis in [Netanya](/wiki/Netanya "Netanya") by a Palestinian from [Kafr Rai](/wiki/Kafr_Rai "Kafr Rai").Raanan Ben\-Zur, where 5 Israelis were killed ['5 killed in Netanya bombing ,'](http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3179585,00.html) [Ynet](/wiki/Ynet "Ynet") December 5, 2005\.
Gisha reported that during the 2006 winter agricultural season, in which Gaza farmers were to export produce to Israel, the West Bank, and Europe, the Karni Crossing was closed 47% of the time. The closures caused an estimated $30 million in losses in the first quarter of 2006 alone. In the first year following the disengagement, the number of trucks carrying exports from the Gaza Strip per day was fewer than 20\. In comparison, the agreement with Israel stipulated allowing 400 trucks to exit per day.
### Museum
In August 2008, a museum of [Gush Katif](/wiki/Gush_Katif "Gush Katif") opened in Jerusalem near [Machane Yehuda](/wiki/Machane_Yehuda "Machane Yehuda"). Yankeleh Klein, the museum director, sees it as an artistic commemoration of the expulsion from the 21 Gaza settlements, and the evacuees' longing to return. The art displayed in the museum is that of Gaza evacuees along with pieces by photographers and artists who were involved in the disengagement or were affected by it.[Jpost.com](http://fr.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1218710379199&pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull), Jerusalem Post article on the new Gush Katif museum. {{dead link\|date\=November 2019\|bot\=medic}}{{cbignore\|bot\=medic}}

Controversy over occupation status
----------------------------------
The [United Nations](/wiki/United_Nations "United Nations"), international human rights organizations and many legal scholars regard the Gaza Strip to still be under [military occupation](/wiki/Military_occupation "Military occupation") by [Israel](/wiki/Israel "Israel"). The [International Court of Justice](/wiki/International_Court_of_Justice "International Court of Justice") reaffirmed this position, stating that the occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip are unlawful and its discriminatory laws and policies against Palestinians violate the prohibition on racial segregation and [apartheid](/wiki/Apartheid "Apartheid"). The ICJ rejected the claim that Gaza was no longer occupied following the 2005 disengagement, on the basis of Israel's continued control over the Gaza Strip.{{Cite news \|last\=Roth \|first\=Kenneth \|date\=2024\-07\-22 \|title\=The ICJ has demolished Israel’s claims that it is not occupying Palestinian territories \|url\=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jul/22/the\-icj\-has\-demolished\-israels\-claims\-that\-it\-is\-not\-occupying\-palestinian\-territories \|access\-date\=2024\-09\-13 \|work\=The Guardian \|language\=en\-GB \|issn\=0261\-3077}}{{Cite web \|date\=2024\-07\-19 \|title\=ICJ opinion on Israeli occupation is vindication of Palestinians’ rights \|url\=https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/07/icj\-opinion\-declaring\-israels\-occupation\-of\-palestinian\-territories\-unlawful\-is\-historic\-vindication\-of\-palestinians\-rights/ \|access\-date\=2024\-09\-13 \|website\=Amnesty International \|language\=en}}
In Jaber Al\-Bassiouni Ahmed v. The Prime Minister, the Israeli Supreme Court assumed that occupation had ended with the disengagement but did not explain the theory or facts that led to this conclusion.{{cite book\|author\=Aeyal Gross\|title\=The Writing on the Wall\|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=hGQ7vgAACAAJ\&pg\=PA\|year\=2017\|publisher\=Cambridge University Press \|isbn\=978\-1\-107\-14596\-2\|pages\=\|quote\=The HCJ determined that Israel has no effective control of the Gaza Strip and, therefore, has no obligation or effective capability for maintaining public order in the Gaza Strip and ensuring the welfare of Gaza's residents.

It labeled Gaza as a "hostile entity," a status that neither grants Palestinians the right to self\-governance and self\-protection, nor obliges Israel to protect Gaza's civilian population. Israel uses this argument to deny Palestinians of full self\-governance as well as the use of military force to suppress any resistance to Israeli control.{{cite book\|author\=Noura Erakat\|title\=Justice for Some\|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=\-zGUDwAAQBAJ\&pg\=PA\|year\=2019\|publisher\=Stanford University Press \|isbn\=978\-1\-5036\-0883\-2\|pages\=\|quote\=Israel insisted its occupation had ended, but it also recognized that Gaza was not sovereign.

Following the withdrawal, Israel continued to maintain direct control over Gaza's air and maritime space, six of Gaza's seven land crossings, maintains a no\-go buffer zone within the territory, controls the Palestinian population registry, and Gaza remains dependent on Israel for its water, electricity, telecommunications, and other utilities.{{cite book \|last1\=Peters \|first1\=Joel \|title\=Exit Strategies and State Building \|date\=2012 \|publisher\=\[\[Oxford University Press]] \|isbn\=9780199760114 \|editor1\-last\=Caplan \|editor1\-first\=Richard \|location\=New York \|page\=234 \|chapter\=Gaza}}
Some argue that Gaza is not occupied given that Israel does not have "boots on the ground" in the territory (permanently). The European Court of Human Rights made a similar argument in the case of [Nagorno\-Karabach](/wiki/Nagorno-Karabach "Nagorno-Karabach").{{cite web \|date\=16 June 2015 \|title\=CASE OF CHIRAGOV AND OTHERS v.

According to widespread expert opinion, physical presence of foreign troops is a sine qua non requirement of occupation, that is, occupation is not conceivable without “boots on the ground”, therefore forces exercising naval or air control through a naval or air blockade do not suffice.}} Cuyckens argues that such a requirement would allow the occupying power to "to easily escape the obligations otherwise imposed upon it under the law of occupation by avoiding placing troops on the ground while nevertheless controlling the territory concerned from the outside." However, she agrees that Gaza is no longer occupied – "Gaza is not technically occupied, given that there is no longer any effective control in the sense of Article 42 of the Hague Regulations." Yoram Dinstein argues that "the Occupying Power must deploy boots on the ground in or near the territory" but that the withdrawal from the Gaza Strip can be at most seen as a "partial withdrawal", since Israel continues to occupy the West Bank. Dinstein argues that the occupation of the Gaza Strip has not ended and that Israel's insistence on its liberty to retake any section of the Gaza Strip militarily is a testament to that fact.{{cite book\|author\=Aeyal Gross\|title\=The Writing on the Wall\|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=hGQ7vgAACAAJ\&pg\=PA\|year\=2017\|publisher\=Cambridge University Press \|isbn\=978\-1\-107\-14596\-2\|pages\=}} [Yuval Shany](/wiki/Yuval_Shany "Yuval Shany") argues that Israel is probably not an occupying power in Gaza under international law, writing that "it is difficult to continue and regard Israel as the occupying power in Gaza under the traditional law of occupation".{{Cite journal \|last\=Shany \|first\=Yuval \|date\=19 October 2007 \|title\=FARAWAY, SO CLOSE: THE LEGAL STATUS OF GAZA AFTER ISRAEL'S DISENGAGEMENT \|url\=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/yearbook\-of\-international\-humanitarian\-law/article/abs/faraway\-so\-close\-the\-legal\-status\-of\-gaza\-after\-israels\-disengagement/51EE48DCE49EE52C6AC503DACADDAB76 \|journal\=Yearbook of International Humanitarian Law \|language\=en \|volume\=8 \|pages\=369–383 \|doi\=10\.1017/S1389135905003697 \|issn\=1574\-096X}} In 2024, Shany reaffirmed that "Indeed, control for purposes of a determination of belligerent occupation does not require the continual presence of the army everywhere within the territory."{{cite web \|url\=https://gisha.org/en/legal\-opinion\-israels\-status\-in\-the\-north\-of\-the\-gaza\-strip/ \|title\=Legal Opinion: Israel's status in the north of the Gaza Strip – Gisha \|last\=Parties \|first\=Third \|orig\-date\=April 02, 2024 \|access\-date\=2024\-07\-03 }} Rubin argues that regardless of the conditions imposed by Israel after disengagement, the occupation ended after Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip.”
Reception
---------
### Pro and against withdrawal
The Disengagement Plan was also criticized by both Israelis and other observers from the opposite viewpoint as an attempt to make permanent the different settlements of the West Bank, while the Gaza Strip was rendered to the Palestinian National Authority as an economically uninteresting territory with a [Muslim](/wiki/Muslim "Muslim") population of nearly 1\.4 million, seen as a "threat" to the Jewish identity of the Israeli democratic state. As [Leila Shahid](/wiki/Leila_Shahid "Leila Shahid"), speaker of the PNA in Europe declared, the sole fact of carrying out the plan unilaterally already showed that the plan was only thought of according to the objectives of Israel as viewed by Sharon{{citation needed\|date\=July 2014}}. [Brian Cowen](/wiki/Brian_Cowen "Brian Cowen"), [Irish](/wiki/Republic_of_Ireland "Republic of Ireland") Foreign Minister and speaker of the [European Union](/wiki/European_Union "European Union") (EU), announced the EU's disapproval of the plan's limited scope in that it did not address withdrawal from the entire West Bank. He said that the EU "will not recognize any change to the [pre\-1967 borders](/wiki/Six-Day_War "Six-Day War") other than those arrived at by agreement between the parties." However, Europe has given tentative backing to the Disengagement plan as part of the [road map for peace](/wiki/Road_map_for_peace "Road map for peace"). Critics{{Who\|date\=August 2014}} pointed out that, at the same time that Sharon was preparing the withdrawal, he was favoring settlements in the West Bank, among them [Ma'ale Adumim](/wiki/Ma%27ale_Adumim "Ma'ale Adumim"), the largest Israeli settlement near Jerusalem. According to [Peace Now](/wiki/Peace_Now "Peace Now"), the number of settlers increased by 6,100 compared with 2004, to reach 250,000 in the West Bank. In an October 6, 2004, interview with * + - * + - [Haaretz](/wiki/Haaretz "Haaretz")*, [Dov Weissglass](/wiki/Dov_Weissglass "Dov Weissglass"), Sharon's chief of staff, declared: "The significance of the disengagement plan is the freezing of the peace process.... When you freeze that process, you prevent the establishment of a [Palestinian state](/wiki/History_of_the_State_of_Palestine "History of the State of Palestine") and you prevent a discussion on the refugees, the borders and Jerusalem. Disengagement supplies the amount of formaldehyde that is necessary so there will not be a political process with the Palestinians."{{cite news \| title\=Israel: Sharon the blessed \| publisher\=Le Monde Diplomatique \| date\=February 2006 \| url\=http://mondediplo.com/2006/02/03sharon}}*
[Benjamin Netanyahu](/wiki/Benjamin_Netanyahu "Benjamin Netanyahu") resigned from Sharon's Cabinet over Israel's pullout from Gaza.
### Positions of foreign governments
#### United States
President George W. Bush endorsed the plan as a positive step towards the road map for peace.
In his May 26, 2005, joint press conference with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, in the [White House Rose Garden](/wiki/White_House_Rose_Garden "White House Rose Garden"), President George W. Bush stated his expectations vis\-a\-vis *the Roadmap Plan. This included an expectation that changes to the 1949 Armistice lines be mutually agreed to and not made unilaterally. In addition, Bush stated his expectation that a two\-state solution must ensure contiguity of the West Bank as well as "meaningful linkages" between the West Bank and Gaza Strip.{{citation\|author\=Congressional Research Service\|publisher\=Library of Congress\|date\=2006\|url\=https://sgp.fas.org/crs/mideast/IB91137\.pdf\|title\=The Middle East Peace Talks: CRS Issue Brief for Congress}}*
#### European Union
[Javier Solana](/wiki/Javier_Solana "Javier Solana"), [High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy](/wiki/High_Representative_for_the_Common_Foreign_and_Security_Policy "High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy") (CFSP), stated on June 10, 2004, his support fo the disengagement as an opportunity to restart the implementation of the Road Map.
The [Irish](/wiki/Irish_Government "Irish Government") Minister for Foreign Affairs, Brian Cowen (Ireland having Presidency of the EU at the time), announced the European Union's disapproval of the plan's limited scope in that it does not address withdrawal from the entire West Bank. He said that the EU "will not recognize any change to the pre\-1967 borders other than those arrived at by agreement between the parties." However, Europe has given tentative backing to the Disengagement Plan as part of the road map for peace.

### Public opinion

### Israeli media coverage
The Israeli media systematically overstated "the threat posed by those opposed to disengagement and emphasiz\[ed] extreme scenarios", according to the Israeli media monitoring NGO Keshev ("Awareness").{{Cite web\|url\=https://www.keshev.org.il/\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20090628024544/http://www.keshev.org.il/siteEn/default.asp\|url\-status\=dead\|title\='WE ALL KNOW THAT ISRAELI SOLDIERS DON'T KILL ON PURPOSE': THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE MEDIA DISCOURSE TO UNAWARENESS\|archive\-date\=June 28, 2009\|website\=keshev.org.il}}{{Cite web\|url\=https://www.keshev.org.il/\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20071128223128/http://www.keshev.org.il/siteEn/FullNews.asp?NewsID\=93\&CategoryID\=9\|url\-status\=dead\|title\=Keshev Report: Disconnected – The Israeli Media's Coverage of the Gaza Disengagement\|archive\-date\=November 28, 2007\|website\=keshev.org.il}} Keshev's report states that: {{cquote\| throughout the weeks before the disengagement, and during the evacuation itself, the Israeli media repeatedly warned of potential violent confrontation between settlers and security forces. These scenarios, which never materialized, took over the headlines.}}
Based on Keshev's research, the Israeli print and TV media "relegated to back pages and buried deep in the newscasts, often under misleading headlines" items that "mitigat\[ed] the extreme forecasts."{{Cite web\|url\=https://www.keshev.org.il/\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721143533/http://www.keshev.org.il/FileUpload/Keshev\_Report\_January\_06\_Eng.pdf\|url\-status\=dead\|title\=Keshev Report January 2006\|archive\-date\=July 21, 2011\|website\=keshev.org.il}} Editors delivered "one dominant, ominous message: The Police Declares High Alert Starting Tomorrow, Almost Like a State of War" [Channel 1](/wiki/Channel_1_%28Israel%29 "Channel 1 (Israel)") (main news headline, August 14, 2005\)
"The discrepancy between the relatively calm reality emerging from most stories and the overall picture reflected in the headlines is evident in every aspect of the disengagement story: in the suppression of information about the voluntary collection of weapons held by the settlers in the Gaza Strip; in reporting exaggerated numbers of right\-wing protesters who infiltrated the Strip before the evacuation; in misrepresentation of the purpose of settler protest (which was an exercise in public relations, not a true attempt to thwart the disengagement plan); and in playing down coordinated efforts between the Israeli security forces and the settlers."
The price for this misrepresentation was paid, at least in part, by the settlers, whose public image was radicalized unjustifiably. After the disengagement was completed without violence between Israelis and a sense of unity and pride pervaded society, "the media chose to give Israeli society, and especially its security forces, a pat on the back."

"On May 9, the beginning of the evacuation of settlements was officially postponed from July 20 until August 15, so as to not coincide with the Jewish period of [The Three Weeks](/wiki/The_Three_Weeks \"The Three Weeks\") and the fast of [Tisha B'Av](/wiki/Tisha_B%27Av \"Tisha B'Av\"), traditionally marking grief and destruction.",
"On July 13, Sharon signed the closure order of Gush Katif, making the area a closed military zone. From that point on, only residents who presented Israeli ID cards with their registered address in Gush Katif were permitted to enter. Permits for 24–48 hours were given to select visitors for a few weeks before the entire area was completely sealed off to non\\-residents. Despite this ban, opponents of the disengagement managed to sneak in by foot through fields and bare soil. Estimates range from a few hundred to a few thousand people for those there illegally at that time. At one point, Sharon contemplated deploying [Israel Border Police](/wiki/Israel_Border_Police \"Israel Border Police\") (*Magav*) forces to remove non\\-residents, but decided against it, as the manpower requirement would have been too great.",
"At midnight between August 14 and 15, the Kissufim crossing was shut down, and the Gaza Strip became officially closed for entrance by Israelis. The evacuation by agreement continued after midnight of the August 17 for settlers who requested a time extension for packing their things. The Gush Katif Municipal Council threatened to unilaterally declare independence, citing the [Gaza Strip](/wiki/Gaza_Strip \"Gaza Strip\")'s internationally disputed status and [Halacha](/wiki/Halacha \"Halacha\") as a foundation. Meanwhile, on August 14, {{Ill\\|Aryeh Yitzhaki\\|he\\|אריה יצחקי}} proclaimed the independence of [Shirat HaYam](/wiki/Shirat_HaYam \"Shirat HaYam\") as \"The Independent Jewish Authority in Gaza Beach\", and submitted appeals for recognition to the [United Nations](/wiki/United_Nations \"United Nations\") and [Red Cross](/wiki/Red_Cross \"Red Cross\").",

At 8 a.m., a convoy of security forces entered [Neve Dekalim](/wiki/Neve_Dekalim \"Neve Dekalim\") and began evacuating residents. Many settlers chose to leave peacefully, others were forcibly evicted, and some attempted to block buses and clashed with security forces. The evacuations of six settlements then commenced as 14,000 Israeli soldiers and police officers forcibly evicted settlers and \"mistanenim\" (infiltrators). They went house to house, ordering settlers to leave and breaking down the doors of those who did not. There were scenes of troops dragging screaming and sobbing families from houses and synagogues, but with less violence than expected. Some of the soldiers were also observed sobbing, and there were instances of soldiers joining settlers in prayer before evicting them. Some settlers lit their homes on fire as they evacuated so as to leave the Palestinians nothing. Settlers blocked roads, lit fires, and pleaded with soldiers to disobey orders. One West Bank settler set herself on fire in front of a Gaza checkpoint, and in [Neve Dekalim](/wiki/Neve_Dekalim \"Neve Dekalim\"), a group of fifteen American Orthodox Jews barricaded themselves in a basement and threatened to light themselves on fire.{{cite news\\|url\\=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,251\\-1739941,00\\.html \\|archive\\-url\\=https://archive.today/20060113182551/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,251\\-1739941,00\\.html \\|url\\-status\\=dead \\|archive\\-date\\=January 13, 2006 \\|title\\=TimesOnline.co.uk \\|publisher\\=TimesOnline.co.uk \\|date\\=March 13, 2012 \\|access\\-date\\=January 20, 2013 \\|location\\=London}}",

"On August 18, Shirat HaYam was evacuated by military and police forces, after infiltrators had been removed and the settlement's speaker system was disabled after settlers used it to call on troops to disobey orders.

Workers aged 50 to 55 were offered years' worth of unemployment benefits, and those over 55 were eligible for a pension until age 67\\. A special category was created for communities that moved en masse, with the government funding the replacement of communal buildings. In cases where communities did not stay together and communal property was lost, individuals would receive compensation for donations made to those buildings. Taxes on compensation sums given to business owners were reduced from ten to five percent. The total cost of the compensation package as adopted by the Knesset was 3\\.8 billion [NIS](/wiki/Israeli_new_shekel \"Israeli new shekel\") (approximately $870 million). Following an increase in the number of compensation claims after the disengagement, another 1\\.5 billion NIS (approximately $250 million) was added. In 2007, a further $125 million was added to the compensation budget. Approximately $176 million was to be paid directly to the evacuees, $66 million to private business owners, and the rest was allocated to finance the government's pullout\\-related expenses.

This was, however, a sharp drop of 39% from the settlers' average monthly income before the disengagement. The average salary among evacuees was lower than the general average, as compared to above average before the disengagement.

The disengagement began with Operation "Yad l'Achim" ({{Lang\-he\|מבצע יד לאחים}}, "Giving brothers a hand").
The aim of the operation was to give the [Gush Katif](/wiki/Gush_Katif "Gush Katif") settlers the option to leave voluntarily. IDF soldiers helped the settlers who chose to do so by packing their belongings and carrying them. During the operation, soldiers went into settlers' homes and presented them with removal decrees. In addition, the IDF arranged crews of social nurses, psychologists, and support to youths.
On April 8, 2005, Defense Minister [Shaul Mofaz](/wiki/Shaul_Mofaz "Shaul Mofaz") said that Israel should consider not demolishing the evacuated buildings in the Gaza Strip, with the exception of synagogues (due to fears of their potential desecration, which eventually did occur),{{cite news\|url\=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle\_east/article565679\.ece \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20100610215925/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle\_east/article565679\.ece \|url\-status\=dead \|archive\-date\=June 10, 2010 \|title\=The Times Online \|publisher\=The Times Online \|access\-date\=January 20, 2013 \|location\=London}} since it would be more costly and time\-consuming. This contrasted with the original plan by the Prime Minister to demolish all vacated buildings.
On May 9, the beginning of the evacuation of settlements was officially postponed from July 20 until August 15, so as to not coincide with the Jewish period of [The Three Weeks](/wiki/The_Three_Weeks "The Three Weeks") and the fast of [Tisha B'Av](/wiki/Tisha_B%27Av "Tisha B'Av"), traditionally marking grief and destruction.
On July 13, Sharon signed the closure order of Gush Katif, making the area a closed military zone. From that point on, only residents who presented Israeli ID cards with their registered address in Gush Katif were permitted to enter. Permits for 24–48 hours were given to select visitors for a few weeks before the entire area was completely sealed off to non\-residents. Despite this ban, opponents of the disengagement managed to sneak in by foot through fields and bare soil. Estimates range from a few hundred to a few thousand people for those there illegally at that time. At one point, Sharon contemplated deploying [Israel Border Police](/wiki/Israel_Border_Police "Israel Border Police") (*Magav*) forces to remove non\-residents, but decided against it, as the manpower requirement would have been too great.
At midnight between August 14 and 15, the Kissufim crossing was shut down, and the Gaza Strip became officially closed for entrance by Israelis. The evacuation by agreement continued after midnight of the August 17 for settlers who requested a time extension for packing their things. The Gush Katif Municipal Council threatened to unilaterally declare independence, citing the [Gaza Strip](/wiki/Gaza_Strip "Gaza Strip")'s internationally disputed status and [Halacha](/wiki/Halacha "Halacha") as a foundation. Meanwhile, on August 14, {{Ill\|Aryeh Yitzhaki\|he\|אריה יצחקי}} proclaimed the independence of [Shirat HaYam](/wiki/Shirat_HaYam "Shirat HaYam") as "The Independent Jewish Authority in Gaza Beach", and submitted appeals for recognition to the [United Nations](/wiki/United_Nations "United Nations") and [Red Cross](/wiki/Red_Cross "Red Cross").
On August 15, the evacuation commenced under the orders of Maj. Gen. [Dan Harel](/wiki/Dan_Harel "Dan Harel") of the [Southern Command](/wiki/Southern_Command_%28Israel%29 "Southern Command (Israel)"). At 8 a.m., a convoy of security forces entered [Neve Dekalim](/wiki/Neve_Dekalim "Neve Dekalim") and began evacuating residents. Many settlers chose to leave peacefully, others were forcibly evicted, and some attempted to block buses and clashed with security forces. The evacuations of six settlements then commenced as 14,000 Israeli soldiers and police officers forcibly evicted settlers and "mistanenim" (infiltrators). They went house to house, ordering settlers to leave and breaking down the doors of those who did not. There were scenes of troops dragging screaming and sobbing families from houses and synagogues, but with less violence than expected. Some of the soldiers were also observed sobbing, and there were instances of soldiers joining settlers in prayer before evicting them. Some settlers lit their homes on fire as they evacuated so as to leave the Palestinians nothing. Settlers blocked roads, lit fires, and pleaded with soldiers to disobey orders. One West Bank settler set herself on fire in front of a Gaza checkpoint, and in [Neve Dekalim](/wiki/Neve_Dekalim "Neve Dekalim"), a group of fifteen American Orthodox Jews barricaded themselves in a basement and threatened to light themselves on fire.{{cite news\|url\=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,251\-1739941,00\.html \|archive\-url\=https://archive.today/20060113182551/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,251\-1739941,00\.html \|url\-status\=dead \|archive\-date\=January 13, 2006 \|title\=TimesOnline.co.uk \|publisher\=TimesOnline.co.uk \|date\=March 13, 2012 \|access\-date\=January 20, 2013 \|location\=London}}
[Kfar Darom](/wiki/Kfar_Darom "Kfar Darom") was next evacuated. Residents and their supporters strung up barbed wire fences around the area, and security forces cut their way in. Some 300 settlers barricaded themselves in the local synagogue, while another group barricaded themselves on the roof with barbed wire, and pelted security forces with various objects. Police removed them by force after negotiations failed, and there were injuries to both settlers and officers. On August 17, the settlement of [Morag](/wiki/Morag_%28moshav%29 "Morag (moshav)") was evacuated by 200 police officers.
On August 18, Shirat HaYam was evacuated by military and police forces, after infiltrators had been removed and the settlement's speaker system was disabled after settlers used it to call on troops to disobey orders. Youth placed obstacles made of flammable materials and torched tires and garbage dumpsters. Fires spread to Palestinian areas, and IDF bulldozers were deployed to put them out. A number of people also barricaded themselves in the synagogue and public buildings and on a deserted rooftop. [Aryeh Yitzhaki](/wiki/Aryeh_Yitzhaki "Aryeh Yitzhaki") defended his home with an [M16 rifle](/wiki/M16_rifle "M16 rifle"), and dozens of settlers barricaded themselves inside or on the roof of his home, with at least four of those on the rooftop being armed. A brief stand\-off with security forces ensued, and snipers were deployed after Yitzhaki threatened to fire at troops. Security forces stormed the rooftop and arrested settlers without any violence.

In addition, the IDF arranged crews of social nurses, psychologists, and support to youths.",
"On April 8, 2005, Defense Minister [Shaul Mofaz](/wiki/Shaul_Mofaz \"Shaul Mofaz\") said that Israel should consider not demolishing the evacuated buildings in the Gaza Strip, with the exception of synagogues (due to fears of their potential desecration, which eventually did occur),{{cite news\\|url\\=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle\\_east/article565679\\.ece \\|archive\\-url\\=https://web.archive.org/web/20100610215925/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle\\_east/article565679\\.ece \\|url\\-status\\=dead \\|archive\\-date\\=June 10, 2010 \\|title\\=The Times Online \\|publisher\\=The Times Online \\|access\\-date\\=January 20, 2013 \\|location\\=London}} since it would be more costly and time\\-consuming. This contrasted with the original plan by the Prime Minister to demolish all vacated buildings.",
"On May 9, the beginning of the evacuation of settlements was officially postponed from July 20 until August 15, so as to not coincide with the Jewish period of [The Three Weeks](/wiki/The_Three_Weeks \"The Three Weeks\") and the fast of [Tisha B'Av](/wiki/Tisha_B%27Av \"Tisha B'Av\"), traditionally marking grief and destruction.",
"On July 13, Sharon signed the closure order of Gush Katif, making the area a closed military zone. From that point on, only residents who presented Israeli ID cards with their registered address in Gush Katif were permitted to enter. Permits for 24–48 hours were given to select visitors for a few weeks before the entire area was completely sealed off to non\\-residents. Despite this ban, opponents of the disengagement managed to sneak in by foot through fields and bare soil. Estimates range from a few hundred to a few thousand people for those there illegally at that time. At one point, Sharon contemplated deploying [Israel Border Police](/wiki/Israel_Border_Police \"Israel Border Police\") (*Magav*) forces to remove non\\-residents, but decided against it, as the manpower requirement would have been too great.",
"At midnight between August 14 and 15, the Kissufim crossing was shut down, and the Gaza Strip became officially closed for entrance by Israelis. The evacuation by agreement continued after midnight of the August 17 for settlers who requested a time extension for packing their things. The Gush Katif Municipal Council threatened to unilaterally declare independence, citing the [Gaza Strip](/wiki/Gaza_Strip \"Gaza Strip\")'s internationally disputed status and [Halacha](/wiki/Halacha \"Halacha\") as a foundation. Meanwhile, on August 14, {{Ill\\|Aryeh Yitzhaki\\|he\\|אריה יצחקי}} proclaimed the independence of [Shirat HaYam](/wiki/Shirat_HaYam \"Shirat HaYam\") as \"The Independent Jewish Authority in Gaza Beach\", and submitted appeals for recognition to the [United Nations](/wiki/United_Nations \"United Nations\") and [Red Cross](/wiki/Red_Cross \"Red Cross\").",

At 8 a.m., a convoy of security forces entered [Neve Dekalim](/wiki/Neve_Dekalim \"Neve Dekalim\") and began evacuating residents. Many settlers chose to leave peacefully, others were forcibly evicted, and some attempted to block buses and clashed with security forces. The evacuations of six settlements then commenced as 14,000 Israeli soldiers and police officers forcibly evicted settlers and \"mistanenim\" (infiltrators). They went house to house, ordering settlers to leave and breaking down the doors of those who did not. There were scenes of troops dragging screaming and sobbing families from houses and synagogues, but with less violence than expected. Some of the soldiers were also observed sobbing, and there were instances of soldiers joining settlers in prayer before evicting them. Some settlers lit their homes on fire as they evacuated so as to leave the Palestinians nothing. Settlers blocked roads, lit fires, and pleaded with soldiers to disobey orders. One West Bank settler set herself on fire in front of a Gaza checkpoint, and in [Neve Dekalim](/wiki/Neve_Dekalim \"Neve Dekalim\"), a group of fifteen American Orthodox Jews barricaded themselves in a basement and threatened to light themselves on fire.{{cite news\\|url\\=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,251\\-1739941,00\\.html \\|archive\\-url\\=https://archive.today/20060113182551/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,251\\-1739941,00\\.html \\|url\\-status\\=dead \\|archive\\-date\\=January 13, 2006 \\|title\\=TimesOnline.co.uk \\|publisher\\=TimesOnline.co.uk \\|date\\=March 13, 2012 \\|access\\-date\\=January 20, 2013 \\|location\\=London}}",

Police removed them by force after negotiations failed, and there were injuries to both settlers and officers.

History
-------
The rise in popularity of tea between the 17th and 19th centuries had major social, political, and economic implications for the [Kingdom of Great Britain](/wiki/Kingdom_of_Great_Britain "Kingdom of Great Britain"). Tea defined respectability and domestic rituals, supported the rise of the British Empire, and contributed to the rise of the [Industrial Revolution](/wiki/Industrial_Revolution "Industrial Revolution") by supplying both the capital for factories and calories for labourers. It also demonstrated the power of globalisation and its ability to transform a country and reshape its society.{{cite web\|title\=The importance of tea in the British culture\|url\=https://breakingblueresearch.com/ourthinking/its\-a\-bri\-tea\-sh\-thing/\|access\-date\=2021\-03\-09\|website\=Breaking Blue\|date\=4 November 2020 \|language\=en\-GB}}
### Historiography
Ukers argues in *All About Tea: Volume I* that tea gained popularity in [Great Britain](/wiki/Great_Britain "Great Britain") due to its reputation as a medicinal drink and its burgeoning presence in coffeehouses where elite men congregated.{{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|pp\=23–46}} As for the popularity of tea among women, he briefly acknowledges that Princess [Catherine of Braganza](/wiki/Catherine_of_Braganza "Catherine of Braganza"), the future [queen consort of England](/wiki/Queen_consort_of_England "Queen consort of England"), made tea fashionable among aristocratic women, but largely attributes its popularity to its ubiquity in the medical discourse of the 17th century. In *Empire of Tea: The Asian Leaf that Conquered the World*, authors Ellis, Coulton and Mauger trace tea's popularity back to three distinct groups: virtuosi, merchants, and elite female aristocrats.{{harvnb\|Ellis\|Coulton\|Mauger\|2015\|pp\=31–76}} They argue that the influence of these three groups combined launched tea as a popular beverage in Britain.
Smith, in his article "Complications of the Commonplace: Tea, Sugar, and Imperialism", differs from the beliefs of the previous writers. He argues that tea only became popular once sugar was added to the drink and that the combination became associated with a domestic ritual that indicated respectability. Mintz, in both "The Changing Roles of Food in the Story of Consumption" and *Sweetness and Power*, agrees to an extent with Smith, acknowledging that sugar played a monumental role in the rise of tea, but he contradicts Smith's connection of tea to respectability.{{harvnb\|Mintz\|1993\|pp\=261–270}} While Smith argues that tea first became popular in the home, Mintz claims that tea was drunk during the workday for its warm sweetness and stimulating properties,{{harvnb\|Mintz\|1985\|pp\=110–117}} elaborating that it was later that tea entered the home and became an "integral part of the social fabric".{{harvnb\|Mintz\|1993\|p\=266}}
### 17th century and earlier
#### Early mentions
The history of European interactions with tea dates back to the mid\-16th century. The earliest mention of tea in European literature was by [Giambattista Ramusio](/wiki/Giambattista_Ramusio "Giambattista Ramusio"), a Venetian explorer, as Chai Catai, or "Tea of China", in 1559\.Giambattista Ramusio, *Navigatione et Viaggi*, Vol. II, Venice, 1559, in {{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|pp\=23–24}} Tea was mentioned several more times in various European countries afterwards, but Jan Hugo van Linschooten, a Dutch navigator, was the first to write a printed reference of tea in English in 1598 in his *Voyages and Travels*.Jan Hugo Van Linschooten, *Voyages and Travels*, London, 1598, in {{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|p\=501}}
However, it was several years later, in 1615, that the earliest known reference to tea by an Englishman took place. In a letter, Mr. R. Wickham, an agent for the [East India Company](/wiki/East_India_Company "East India Company") stationed at [Japan](/wiki/Japan "Japan"), asked a Mr. Eaton, who was stationed in then\-Portuguese [Macao](/wiki/Macao "Macao"), China,{{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|p\=37}} to send him "a pot of the best sort of chaw", phonetically an approximation of {{transl\|yue\|"chàh"}}, the local [Cantonese](/wiki/Cantonese "Cantonese") dialect word for tea. Another early reference to tea appears in the writings of trader [Samuel Purchas](/wiki/Samuel_Purchas "Samuel Purchas") in 1625\.Samuel Purchas, *Purchas His Pilgrimes*, Vol. III, London, 1625, in {{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|p\=38}} Purchas described how the Chinese consumed tea as "the powder of a certaine herbe called chia of which they put as much as a walnut shell may contain, into a dish of Porcelane, and drink it with hot water". In 1637, [Peter Mundy](/wiki/Peter_Mundy "Peter Mundy"), a traveller and merchant who came across tea in [Fujian](/wiki/Fujian "Fujian"), China, wrote, "*chaa* – only water with a kind of herb boyled in it".{{cite book\|url\={{google books\|id\=lXYFBQAAQBAJ\|pg\=PT25\|plainurl\=yes}}\|title\=Tea: A Very British Beverage\|last\=Chrystal\|first\=Paul\|date\= 2014\|publisher\=Amberley Publishing Limited}}
#### Sale of tea begins
[thumb\|1746 map showing Exchange Alley, where tea was first sold in England](/wiki/File:Exchange_Alley_-_London.jpg "Exchange Alley - London.jpg")
Though there were a number of early mentions, it was several more years before tea was actually sold in England. [Green tea](/wiki/Green_tea "Green tea") exported from China was first introduced in [the coffeehouses of London](/wiki/English_coffeehouses_in_the_17th_and_18th_centuries "English coffeehouses in the 17th and 18th centuries") shortly before the 1660 [Stuart Restoration](/wiki/Stuart_Restoration "Stuart Restoration").{{cite web\|title\=The Different Types of Tea in Britain \- There Are Many\|url\=https://www.thespruceeats.com/history\-and\-types\-of\-british\-tea\-435180\|access\-date\=2021\-03\-09\|website\=The Spruce Eats\|language\=en}}
Thomas Garway, a tobacconist and coffee house owner, was the first person in England to sell tea as a leaf and beverage at his London [coffeehouse](/wiki/Coffeehouse "Coffeehouse") in Exchange Alley in 1657\.{{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|p\=38}}{{cite book\|url\={{google books\|id\=\_TR\_PQAACAAJ\|page\=169\|plainurl\=yes}}\|title\=The True History of Tea\|last1\=Mair\|first1\=Victor H.\|last2\=Hoh\|first2\=Erling\|publisher\=\[\[Thames \& Hudson]]\|year\=2009\|isbn\=978\-0\-500\-25146\-1\|page\=169}} He had to explain the new beverage in a pamphlet. Immediately after Garway began selling it, the Sultaness Head Coffee House began selling tea as a beverage and posted the first newspaper advertisement for tea in *[Mercurius Politicus](/wiki/Mercurius_Politicus "Mercurius Politicus")* on 30 September 1658\.{{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|p\=41}} The announcement proclaimed, "That Excellent, and by all Physicians approved, *China* drink, called by the *Chinese*, *Tcha*, by other nations *Tay alias Tee*, ...sold at the Sultaness\-head, ye *Cophee\-house* in Sweetings\-Rents, by the [Royal Exchange](/wiki/Royal_Exchange%2C_London "Royal Exchange, London"), *London*".
In London, "\[c]offee, chocolate and a kind of drink called *tee*" were "sold in almost every street in 1659", according to [Thomas Rugge](/wiki/Thomas_Rugge "Thomas Rugge")'s *Diurnall*. However, tea was still mainly consumed by upper and mercantile classes. [Samuel Pepys](/wiki/Samuel_Pepys "Samuel Pepys"), curious for every novelty, tasted the new drink on 25 September 1660 and recorded the experience in his diary, writing, "I did send for a cup of tee, (a China drink) of which I had never had drunk before".
The East India Company made its first order for the importation of tea in 1667 to their agent in [Bantam](/wiki/Banten "Banten"), who then sent two canisters of tea weighing {{convert\|143\|lbs\|oz}} in 1669\.{{cite book\|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=VLkTAAAAQAAJ\&pg\=PA47\|title\=Commercial Statistics. a Digest of the Productive Resources, Commercial Legislation, Customs Tariffs, Navigation, Port, and Quarantine Laws, and Charges, Shipping, Imports and Exports, and the Monies, Weights, and Measures of All Nations\|author\=John MacGregor\|isbn\=978\-1130006230\|page\=47\|year\=1850}} In 1672, a servant of [Baron Herbert](/wiki/Edward_Herbert%2C_3rd_Baron_Herbert_of_Chirbury "Edward Herbert, 3rd Baron Herbert of Chirbury") in London sent his instructions for tea making, and warming the delicate cups, to [Shropshire](/wiki/Shropshire "Shropshire"):
> The directions for the tea are: a quart of spring water just boiled, to which put a spoonful of tea, and sweeten to the palate with candy sugar. As soon as the tea and sugar are in, the steam must be kept in as much as may be, and let it lie half or quarter of an hour in the heat of the fire but not boil. The little cups must be held over the steam before the liquid be put in.Smith, W. J., ed., *Herbert Correspondence*, University of Wales (1963\), pp. 204–205 no. 353, John Read to Richard Herbert of Oakly Park, [Ludlow](/wiki/Ludlow "Ludlow"), 29 June 1672\.
The earliest English [equipages](/wiki/Equipage "Equipage") for making tea date to the 1660s. Small porcelain [tea bowls](/wiki/Chawan "Chawan") were used by the fashionable and were occasionally shipped with the tea itself.
#### Tea as a medicinal drink
The first factor that contributed to the rise in popularity of tea was its reputation as a medicinal drink. Tea first became labelled as a medical drink in 1641 by the Dutch physician and director of the [Dutch East India Company](/wiki/Dutch_East_India_Company "Dutch East India Company") Nikolas Dirx, who wrote under the pseudonym [Nicolaes Tulp](/wiki/Nicolaes_Tulp "Nicolaes Tulp");{{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|p\=31}} in his book *Observationes Medicae*, he claimed that "nothing is comparable to this plant" and that those who use it are "exempt from all maladies and reach an extreme old age".Nicolas Tulp, *Obersaciones Medicae*, Amsterdam, 1641, in {{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|pp\=31–32}} Dirx went into considerable detail on the specific merits of tea, such as curing "headaches, colds, ophthalmia, catarrh, asthma, sluggishness of the stomach, and intestinal troubles". Thomas Garway, the first English shopkeeper praised the medical benefits of tea in a broadsheet published in 1660 titled "An Exact Description of the Growth, Quality, and Vertues of the Leaf TEA". Garway claims that "the Drink is declared to be most wholesome, preserving in perfect health until extreme Old Age", as well as "maketh the body active and lusty", "helpeth the Headache", "taketh away the difficulty of breathing", "strengtheneth the Memory", and "expelleth infection".Thomas Garway, "An Exact Description of the Growth, Quality, and Vertues of the Leaf TEA", 1660, preserved in the British Museum, in {{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|pp\=38–39}}
There were many more published works on the health benefits of tea, including those by [Samuel Hartlib](/wiki/Samuel_Hartlib "Samuel Hartlib") in 1657, [Cornelis Bontekoe](/wiki/Cornelis_Bontekoe "Cornelis Bontekoe") in 1678, [Thomas Povey](/wiki/Thomas_Povey "Thomas Povey") in 1686, and [Thomas Tryon](/wiki/Thomas_Tryon "Thomas Tryon") in the 1690s;{{harvnb\|Ellis\|Coulton\|Mauger\|2015\|pp\=32, 34}}Thomas Povey, Esq., "A Famous Tea Manuscript of 1686", 20 October 1686, in {{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|p\=40}}Smith, 296\. one satirist of the time asked if the [Royal College of Physicians](/wiki/Royal_College_of_Physicians "Royal College of Physicians") could debate whether any of the exotic new hot drinks would "agree with the Constitutions of our *English* bodies".{{cite journal\|last\=Shapin\|first\=Steven\|date\=30 July 2015\|title\=Pretence for Prattle\|url\=http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n15/steven\-shapin/pretence\-for\-prattle\|journal\=\[\[The London Review of Books]]\|volume\=37\|issue\=15\|pages\=17–18\|access\-date\=24 July 2015}} In 1667, Pepys noted that his wife was taking tea on medical advice – "a drink which Mr Pelling the [Pottecary](/wiki/Apothecary "Apothecary") tells her is good for her colds and defluxions". English philosopher [John Locke](/wiki/John_Locke "John Locke") developed a fondness for tea after spending time with Dutch medical men in the 1680s.{{harvnb\|Ellis\|Coulton\|Mauger\|2015\|p\=43}} These men are the "virtuosi" referred to by Ellis, Coulton, and Mauger: scientists, philosophers, and doctors who first took an interest in tea and contributed to its early popularity as a pharmaceutical.{{harvnb\|Ellis\|Coulton\|Mauger\|2015\|p\=31}} However, as with Dirx, some of these men may have been influenced by the Indies trading companies and merchants who wished to create a market for tea. Nevertheless, these writings about the perceived health benefits of tea contributed to the rise of the drink's popularity in England.
A 2022 study found that rising tea consumption during the 18th century in England had the unintended impact of reducing mortality rates, as it led more people to boil their water, thus reducing their vulnerability to waterborne diseases.{{Cite journal\|last\=Antman\|first\=Francisca M.\|date\=2022\|title\=For Want of a Cup: The Rise of Tea in England and the Impact of Water Quality on Mortality\|url\=https://doi.org/10\.1162/rest\_a\_01158\|journal\=The Review of Economics and Statistics\|volume\=105 \|issue\=6 \|pages\=1352–1365 \|doi\=10\.1162/rest\_a\_01158\|issn\=0034\-6535\|hdl\=10419/250677\|s2cid\=218593795 \|hdl\-access\=free}}
#### Popularity among aristocrats
[thumb\|Lady drinking tea by [Niclas Lafrensen](/wiki/Niclas_Lafrensen "Niclas Lafrensen")](/wiki/File:Lady_drinking_tea_-_Lavreince.jpg "Lady drinking tea - Lavreince.jpg")
According to Ellis, Coulton, and Mauger, "tea was six to ten times more expensive than coffee" in the 1660s, making it a costly and luxurious commodity.{{harvnb\|Ellis\|Coulton\|Mauger\|2015\|p\=36}} The proliferation of works on the health benefits of tea came at a time when people in the upper classes of English society began to take an interest in their health, further bolstering its popularity.
In 1660, {{convert\|2\|lb}} and {{convert\|2\|oz}} of tea bought from Portugal were formally presented to [Charles II of England](/wiki/Charles_II_of_England "Charles II of England") by the East India Company. The drink, already common in Europe, was a favourite of his new Portuguese bride, [Catherine of Braganza](/wiki/Catherine_of_Braganza "Catherine of Braganza"). She introduced it at [Domus Dei](/wiki/Domus_Dei "Domus Dei") in Portsmouth{{cite web\|url\=https://www.rmg.co.uk/discover/behind\-the\-scenes/blog/very\-royal\-wedding\-charles\-ii\-and\-catherine\-braganza\|title \= A very Royal Wedding \- Charles II and Catherine of Braganza}} during her wedding to Charles II in 1662 and made it fashionable among the ladies of the court as her temperance drink of choice.Smith, 268\.{{harvnb\|Mintz\|1993\|p\=110}} Catherine of Braganza's use of tea as a court beverage rather than a medicinal drink influenced its popularity in literary circles around 1685\. Whenever it was consumed in the court, it was "conspicuously on display" so as to show it off.
Accordingly, tea drinking became a central aspect of aristocratic society in England by the 1680s, particularly among women who drank it while visiting in the home.{{harvnb\|Ellis\|Coulton\|Mauger\|2015\|p\=39}} Catherine of Braganza's tea\-drinking habit made tea an acceptable drink for both gentlemen and ladies. Wealthy ladies' desire to show off their luxurious commodities in front of other ladies also increased demand for tea and made it more popular. The addition of sugar was yet another factor that made tea desirable among the elite crowd, as it was another luxurious commodity already well\-established among the upper classes.
### 18th century
#### Continuing sale of tea
While tea slowly became more common in coffee houses during the second half of the 17th century, the first tea shop in London did not open until the early 18th century. [Thomas Twining](/wiki/Twinings "Twinings")'s tea shop has been claimed as the first, opening in 1706, where it remains at 216 [Strand, London](/wiki/Strand%2C_London "Strand, London"); however, 1717 has also been given as the date for the first tea shop.{{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|p\=46}} In between tea's earliest mentions in Britain and its widespread popularity just over a century later, many factors contributed to the craze for this previously unknown foreign commodity.
Tea would not have become a British staple if not for the increase in its supply that made it more accessible. Between 1720 and 1750, the imports of tea to Britain through the East India Company more than quadrupled. By 1766, exports from Canton stood at {{convert\|6,000,000\|lbs\|kg}} on British boats, compared with 4\.5 on Dutch ships, 2\.4 on Swedish, 2\.1 on French. Veritable "tea fleets" grew up. Tea was particularly interesting to the [Atlantic world](/wiki/Atlantic_world "Atlantic world"), not only for its ease of cultivation but also its ease of preparation and its reputed medical benefits. Whatever the drink's supposed benefits, Francisca A. Antman has argued that the expansion of tea\-drinking in eighteenth\-century Britain meant that people were consuming more boiled water, which was less likely to carry pathogens, and that this explains a previously puzzling fall in mortality from the mid\-eighteenth to the mid\-nineteenth centuries.{{Cite journal \|last\=Antman \|first\=Francisca M. \|date\=2023 \|title\=For Want of a Cup: The Rise of Tea in England and the Impact of Water Quality on Mortality \|url\=https://doi.org/10\.1162/rest\_a\_01158 \|journal\=Review of Economics and Statistics \|volume\=105 \|issue\=6 \|pages\=1352–1365 \|doi\=10\.1162/rest\_a\_01158 \|issn\=0034\-6535\|hdl\=10419/250677 \|s2cid\=218593795 \|hdl\-access\=free }}
When tea was first introduced to Britain, the [East India Company](/wiki/East_India_Company "East India Company") was not directly trading with China, and merchants relied on tea imports from [Holland](/wiki/Holland "Holland").{{harvnb\|Ellis\|Coulton\|Mauger\|2015\|p\=37}} Because this tea was so expensive and difficult to get, there was very little demand for it, except among the elite who could afford it and made special orders. It was not until after 1700 that the East India Company began to trade regularly with China and ordered tea for export, though not in large quantities.Smith, 273\. Smith argues that the tea trade was actually a side effect of the silk and textile trade, the most desired Chinese commodities of the time. In 1720, however, [Parliament](/wiki/Parliament "Parliament") banned the importation of finished Asian textiles, and traders began to focus on tea instead. This new focus marked a turning point for the British tea trade and is arguably why tea became more popular than coffee. Once the East India company focused on tea as its main import, tea soon attained price stability. Conversely, the price of coffee remained unpredictable and high, allowing tea to grow in popularity before coffee became more accessible.Smith, 274\. Furthermore, the rising demand for tea and sugar was easily met with increased supply as the tea industry grew in India, which prevented sharp price increases that would have discouraged people from buying it.Smith, 275\.
Because of the use of tea bowls, tea\-drinking spurred the search for a European imitation of Chinese porcelain, which was first successfully produced in Britain at the [Chelsea porcelain manufactory](/wiki/Chelsea_porcelain_manufactory "Chelsea porcelain manufactory"), established around 1743–1745 and quickly imitated.
By the 1770s, all tea from foreign countries would first be imported and bought by London wholesalers or merchants before being exported by them. However, the taxes of importing tea to Britain were very high, resulting in tea being smuggled into Europe in significant quantities, forming an important aspect of the tea trade. Historians{{who\|date\=July 2019}} found that, regarding the British tea trade before 1784, the estimated quantity of tea smuggled was roughly {{convert\|7,500,000\|lbs\|kg}} per year, although some believe the amount to be between {{convert\|4,000,000\|\-\|6,000,000\|lbs\|kg}}.{{Cite journal\|date\=October 1968\|title\=Smuggling and the British Tea Trade before 1784\|journal\=The American Historical Review\|doi\=10\.1086/ahr/74\.1\.44\|issn\=1937\-5239}} Faced with such levels of smuggling and unearned tax revenues, the British Parliament enacted the Commutation Act in 1784, slashing tea taxes from 119 percent to 12\.5 percent, which effectively ended smuggling practices. The resulting reduction in tea prices allowed a larger population to purchase it, thereby spreading its use across social classes.
In the late 1770s, the owner of the [Charleston Tea Plantation](/wiki/Charleston_Tea_Garden "Charleston Tea Garden") exported Chinese tea plants to his farm in [Charleston, South Carolina](/wiki/Charleston%2C_South_Carolina "Charleston, South Carolina"), with the intention of producing a number of varieties of tea, including [green tea](/wiki/Green_tea "Green tea"), [black tea](/wiki/Black_tea "Black tea") and [oolong tea](/wiki/Oolong_tea "Oolong tea"), a successful strategy resulting in significant sales to the British population.{{Cite AV media\|url\=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v\=QCmGOXa9eLc \|archive\-url\=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/QCmGOXa9eLc \|archive\-date\=2021\-12\-21 \|url\-status\=live\|title\=A Mystery Drink – The History Of Tea\|date\=6 June 2016\|access\-date\=2019\-03\-05\|work\=History TV}}{{cbignore}}
#### Introduction of milk and sugar
[thumb\|A modern British tea set, in which a sugar bowl and a milk jug accompany the teapot](/wiki/File:LangleyPrincessTeaset.jpg "LangleyPrincessTeaset.jpg")
Though tea was gaining popularity on its own at the beginning of the 18th century, the addition of sugar to the drink aided its rise in popularity further, as the British began adding sugar to their tea between 1685 and the early 18th century.Smith, 263\. At this time, sugar was already used to enhance the flavour of other foods among the upper classes and had a reputation as an ostentatious luxury.Smith, 266\. Because both tea and sugar had status implications, it made sense to drink them together,Smith, 270\. and the growth in the import of tea parallels that of sugar in the 18th century,{{cite episode\|title\=Tea\|url\=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p004y24y\|series\=\[\[In Our Time (BBC Radio 4\)\|In Our Time]]\|network\=\[\[BBC Radio 4]]\|airdate\=29 April 2004}} which itself was booming due to the growth of sugar plantations in the Americas.Smith, 271\.
However, the upper classes of Britain began to care more about their health, and starting in the late 17th century, literature on the unhealthiness of sugar began to circulate.Smith, 277\. Adding sugar to tea, however, was seen as an acceptable way to consume sugar, as it suggested that "one had the self\-control to consume sugar in a healthy way." Sugar also masked the bitterness of tea, and made it more desirable to drink; as the supply of both tea and sugar grew during the early 18th century, the combination of the two became more universal, and increased popularity and demand for both products. Black tea overtook green tea in popularity in the 1720s when it became more common for both sugar and milk to be added to tea, a practice originating outside of China.
#### Popularity among the middle classes
When the popular English patriotic ballad "[The Roast Beef of Old England](/wiki/The_Roast_Beef_of_Old_England "The Roast Beef of Old England")" was written in 1731, it portrayed tea (as well as coffee) as foreign and un\-English, noting that they were rare during the time of [Elizabeth I](/wiki/Elizabeth_I "Elizabeth I").{{Cite web\|url\=https://www.bartleby.com/360/8/10\.html\|title \= The Roast Beef of Old England. Henry Fielding (1707\-1754\). I. Patriotism. Bliss Carman, et al., eds. 1904\. The World's Best Poetry. VIII. National Spirit\| date\=9 September 2022 }}
Because tea began in Britain as a luxury for the upper classes, it had a reputation in the 18th century as a high\-class commodity; however, as prices slowly fell, more people at the middle levels of society had access to it. Accordingly, drinking tea became associated with respectability among upwardly mobile middle\-class people.Smith, 276\. When people drank tea, they were expected to possess certain manners and behave in a particular way. Soon, drinking tea became a domestic ritual among families, colleagues, and friends who were just wealthy enough to afford it, which also increased demand. The association between tea and respectability became so ingrained in both British and Irish culture that it reached a point where it could not go out of fashion. Tea drinking among these groups was also soon considered patriotic.
Because the East India Company had a monopoly over the tea industry in Britain, tea became more popular than coffee, chocolate, and alcohol.{{harvnb\|Mintz\|1985\|p\=113}} Tea was seen as inherently British, and its consumption was encouraged by the British government because of the revenue gained from taxing tea.{{harvnb\|Mintz\|1985\|p\=114}} Unlike coffee and chocolate, which came from the colonies of Britain's rivals in various regions of the world, tea was produced in a single massive colony and served as a means of profit and colonial power. Mintz goes so far as to argue that the combination of ritualization and increased production in the British colonies was how tea became inherently British.{{harvnb\|Mintz\|1985\|p\=110}}
As the British continued to import more and more tea throughout the 18th century, tea slowly went from a respectable commodity consumed by the well\-mannered classes in domestic rituals to an absolute necessity in the British diet, even among the poor working classes. John Hanway, an 18th\-century social reformer, observed the widespread consumption of tea by the poor in 1767\. He described "a certain lane ... where beggars are often seen ... drinking their tea", as well as "labourers mending their roads drinking their tea" and tea "in the cups of haymakers".Jonas Hanway, 1767, in Mintz, 117\. Just two centuries after the first appearance of tea in British society as a beverage for aristocrats, tea had become so widely popular and available that those at the absolute bottom of the social hierarchy were consuming it as their beverage of choice. It was at this point that tea became universal among all levels of society. [Fernand Braudel](/wiki/Fernand_Braudel "Fernand Braudel") asked, "is it true to say the new drink replaced [gin](/wiki/Gin "Gin") in England?"
### 19th century
#### Adoption by the working classes
[thumb\|Workers taking a tea break during [World War I](/wiki/World_War_I "World War I")](/wiki/File:THE_WOMEN%27S_WORK_IN_THE_WAR_PRODUCTION%2C_1914-1918_Q107140.jpg "THE WOMEN'S WORK IN THE WAR PRODUCTION, 1914-1918 Q107140.jpg")
By the 19th century, tea had reached the working class, and it was soon considered an everyday necessity among poor labourers. According to the Scottish historian [David MacPherson](/wiki/David_Macpherson_%28historian%29 "David Macpherson (historian)"), tea had become cheaper than beer by the early 19th century.David MacPherson, The History of European Commerce with India (London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, \& Brown, 1812\), 132, in {{harvnb\|Mintz\|1993\|p\=264}} Furthermore, sugar had also become extremely cheap by this time, and the two were almost always consumed together.{{harvnb\|Mintz\|1993\|p\=264}} Though the price of coffee had decreased by this point, tea was the preferred drink because, unlike coffee, it still tasted good when diluted, which is often how the poor consumed it to save money.{{harvnb\|Mintz\|1985\|p\=112}}
Tea had other attractions as well. Drinking a hot, sweet beverage helped the meals of the lower classes, which generally consisted of dry bread and cheese, go down more easily. The warm beverage was especially appealing given Britain's cold and wet climate. Additionally, tea helped alleviate some of the consequences of industrial [urbanisation](/wiki/Urbanisation "Urbanisation"), as drinking tea required boiling the water, thereby killing water\-borne diseases like [dysentery](/wiki/Dysentery "Dysentery"), [cholera](/wiki/Cholera "Cholera") and [typhoid](/wiki/Typhoid "Typhoid").
However, the poor consumed tea very differently from the well\-mannered ritual adopted by the upper classes. According to Mintz, "tea\-drinking among the poor probably began in connection with work, not in the home".{{harvnb\|Mintz\|1993\|p\=265}} Day labourers brewed their tea out in the open and brought their tea equipment with them to work, as opposed to the private, domestic ritual that had previously surrounded tea\-drinking. Afternoon tea possibly became a way to increase the number of hours labourers could work; the stimulants in the tea, accompanied by the calorie boost from the sugar and accompanying snacks, would give workers energy to finish the day's work.
#### Cultivation in India
The popularity of tea occasioned the furtive export of slips, a small shoot for planting or twig for grafting to tea plants, from China to [British India](/wiki/British_Raj "British Raj") and its [commercial cultivation there](/wiki/History_of_tea_in_India "History of tea in India"), beginning in 1840\. Between 1872 and 1884, the supply of tea to the British Empire increased with the expansion of the railway to the east. The demand, however, was not proportional, which caused prices to rise. Nevertheless, starting in 1884, innovations in tea preparation caused the price of tea to drop and remained relatively low through the first half of the 20th century. Soon afterwards, London became the centre of the international tea trade. With high tea imports also came a large increase in the demand for porcelain. The demand for teacups, pots, and dishes increased to go along with the popular new drink.
### Today
[thumb\|The [Willow Tearooms](/wiki/Willow_Tearooms "Willow Tearooms"), [Glasgow](/wiki/Glasgow "Glasgow")](/wiki/File:The_Willow_Tearooms5.jpg "The Willow Tearooms5.jpg")
In 2003, *[DataMonitor](/wiki/DataMonitor "DataMonitor")* reported that regular tea drinking in the United Kingdom was on the decline. There was a 10\.25% decline in the purchase of normal teabags in Britain between 1997 and 2002\. Sales of ground coffee also fell during the same period. Britons were instead drinking health\-orientated beverages, like fruit or [herbal teas](/wiki/Herbal_tea "Herbal tea"), consumption of which increased 50% from 1997 to 2002\. A further unexpected statistic is that the sales of [decaffeinated](/wiki/Decaffination "Decaffination") tea and coffee fell faster than the sale of more common varieties during this period. Declining tea sales were matched by an increase in espresso sales. Nevertheless, tea remains an extremely popular drink and is still ingrained in British culture and society.
The first locally grown tea, from [Tregothnan](/wiki/Tregothnan "Tregothnan") in [Cornwall](/wiki/Cornwall "Cornwall"), was harvested in 2005\. By 2019, the plantation produced 20 tonnes of tea annually.{{cite news \|title\=An ancient family estate is putting the English into English tea \|url\=https://www.euronews.com/green/2019/07/12/the\-cornish\-estate\-brewing\-the\-most\-english\-of\-teas \|access\-date\=16 October 2024 \|work\=euronews.com \|date\=12 July 2019}}

"History\n-------",
"The rise in popularity of tea between the 17th and 19th centuries had major social, political, and economic implications for the [Kingdom of Great Britain](/wiki/Kingdom_of_Great_Britain \"Kingdom of Great Britain\"). Tea defined respectability and domestic rituals, supported the rise of the British Empire, and contributed to the rise of the [Industrial Revolution](/wiki/Industrial_Revolution \"Industrial Revolution\") by supplying both the capital for factories and calories for labourers. It also demonstrated the power of globalisation and its ability to transform a country and reshape its society.{{cite web\\|title\\=The importance of tea in the British culture\\|url\\=https://breakingblueresearch.com/ourthinking/its\\-a\\-bri\\-tea\\-sh\\-thing/\\|access\\-date\\=2021\\-03\\-09\\|website\\=Breaking Blue\\|date\\=4 November 2020 \\|language\\=en\\-GB}}",
"### Historiography",
"Ukers argues in *All About Tea: Volume I* that tea gained popularity in [Great Britain](/wiki/Great_Britain \"Great Britain\") due to its reputation as a medicinal drink and its burgeoning presence in coffeehouses where elite men congregated.{{harvnb\\|Ukers\\|1935\\|pp\\=23–46}} As for the popularity of tea among women, he briefly acknowledges that Princess [Catherine of Braganza](/wiki/Catherine_of_Braganza \"Catherine of Braganza\"), the future [queen consort of England](/wiki/Queen_consort_of_England \"Queen consort of England\"), made tea fashionable among aristocratic women, but largely attributes its popularity to its ubiquity in the medical discourse of the 17th century. In *Empire of Tea: The Asian Leaf that Conquered the World*, authors Ellis, Coulton and Mauger trace tea's popularity back to three distinct groups: virtuosi, merchants, and elite female aristocrats.{{harvnb\\|Ellis\\|Coulton\\|Mauger\\|2015\\|pp\\=31–76}} They argue that the influence of these three groups combined launched tea as a popular beverage in Britain.",
"Smith, in his article \"Complications of the Commonplace: Tea, Sugar, and Imperialism\", differs from the beliefs of the previous writers. He argues that tea only became popular once sugar was added to the drink and that the combination became associated with a domestic ritual that indicated respectability. Mintz, in both \"The Changing Roles of Food in the Story of Consumption\" and *Sweetness and Power*, agrees to an extent with Smith, acknowledging that sugar played a monumental role in the rise of tea, but he contradicts Smith's connection of tea to respectability.{{harvnb\\|Mintz\\|1993\\|pp\\=261–270}} While Smith argues that tea first became popular in the home, Mintz claims that tea was drunk during the workday for its warm sweetness and stimulating properties,{{harvnb\\|Mintz\\|1985\\|pp\\=110–117}} elaborating that it was later that tea entered the home and became an \"integral part of the social fabric\".{{harvnb\\|Mintz\\|1993\\|p\\=266}}",

"#### Early mentions",
"The history of European interactions with tea dates back to the mid\\-16th century. The earliest mention of tea in European literature was by [Giambattista Ramusio](/wiki/Giambattista_Ramusio \"Giambattista Ramusio\"), a Venetian explorer, as Chai Catai, or \"Tea of China\", in 1559\\.Giambattista Ramusio, *Navigatione et Viaggi*, Vol. II, Venice, 1559, in {{harvnb\\|Ukers\\|1935\\|pp\\=23–24}} Tea was mentioned several more times in various European countries afterwards, but Jan Hugo van Linschooten, a Dutch navigator, was the first to write a printed reference of tea in English in 1598 in his *Voyages and Travels*.Jan Hugo Van Linschooten, *Voyages and Travels*, London, 1598, in {{harvnb\\|Ukers\\|1935\\|p\\=501}}",
"However, it was several years later, in 1615, that the earliest known reference to tea by an Englishman took place. In a letter, Mr. R.

The little cups must be held over the steam before the liquid be put in.Smith, W.

"#### Tea as a medicinal drink",
"The first factor that contributed to the rise in popularity of tea was its reputation as a medicinal drink. Tea first became labelled as a medical drink in 1641 by the Dutch physician and director of the [Dutch East India Company](/wiki/Dutch_East_India_Company \"Dutch East India Company\") Nikolas Dirx, who wrote under the pseudonym [Nicolaes Tulp](/wiki/Nicolaes_Tulp \"Nicolaes Tulp\");{{harvnb\\|Ukers\\|1935\\|p\\=31}} in his book *Observationes Medicae*, he claimed that \"nothing is comparable to this plant\" and that those who use it are \"exempt from all maladies and reach an extreme old age\".Nicolas Tulp, *Obersaciones Medicae*, Amsterdam, 1641, in {{harvnb\\|Ukers\\|1935\\|pp\\=31–32}} Dirx went into considerable detail on the specific merits of tea, such as curing \"headaches, colds, ophthalmia, catarrh, asthma, sluggishness of the stomach, and intestinal troubles\". Thomas Garway, the first English shopkeeper praised the medical benefits of tea in a broadsheet published in 1660 titled \"An Exact Description of the Growth, Quality, and Vertues of the Leaf TEA\". Garway claims that \"the Drink is declared to be most wholesome, preserving in perfect health until extreme Old Age\", as well as \"maketh the body active and lusty\", \"helpeth the Headache\", \"taketh away the difficulty of breathing\", \"strengtheneth the Memory\", and \"expelleth infection\".Thomas Garway, \"An Exact Description of the Growth, Quality, and Vertues of the Leaf TEA\", 1660, preserved in the British Museum, in {{harvnb\\|Ukers\\|1935\\|pp\\=38–39}}",
"There were many more published works on the health benefits of tea, including those by [Samuel Hartlib](/wiki/Samuel_Hartlib \"Samuel Hartlib\") in 1657, [Cornelis Bontekoe](/wiki/Cornelis_Bontekoe \"Cornelis Bontekoe\") in 1678, [Thomas Povey](/wiki/Thomas_Povey \"Thomas Povey\") in 1686, and [Thomas Tryon](/wiki/Thomas_Tryon \"Thomas Tryon\") in the 1690s;{{harvnb\\|Ellis\\|Coulton\\|Mauger\\|2015\\|pp\\=32, 34}}Thomas Povey, Esq., \"A Famous Tea Manuscript of 1686\", 20 October 1686, in {{harvnb\\|Ukers\\|1935\\|p\\=40}}Smith, 296\\. one satirist of the time asked if the [Royal College of Physicians](/wiki/Royal_College_of_Physicians \"Royal College of Physicians\") could debate whether any of the exotic new hot drinks would \"agree with the Constitutions of our *English* bodies\".{{cite journal\\|last\\=Shapin\\|first\\=Steven\\|date\\=30 July 2015\\|title\\=Pretence for Prattle\\|url\\=http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n15/steven\\-shapin/pretence\\-for\\-prattle\\|journal\\=\\[\\[The London Review of Books]]\\|volume\\=37\\|issue\\=15\\|pages\\=17–18\\|access\\-date\\=24 July 2015}} In 1667, Pepys noted that his wife was taking tea on medical advice – \"a drink which Mr Pelling the [Pottecary](/wiki/Apothecary \"Apothecary\") tells her is good for her colds and defluxions\".

Nevertheless, these writings about the perceived health benefits of tea contributed to the rise of the drink's popularity in England.",

"Accordingly, tea drinking became a central aspect of aristocratic society in England by the 1680s, particularly among women who drank it while visiting in the home.{{harvnb\\|Ellis\\|Coulton\\|Mauger\\|2015\\|p\\=39}} Catherine of Braganza's tea\\-drinking habit made tea an acceptable drink for both gentlemen and ladies. Wealthy ladies' desire to show off their luxurious commodities in front of other ladies also increased demand for tea and made it more popular. The addition of sugar was yet another factor that made tea desirable among the elite crowd, as it was another luxurious commodity already well\\-established among the upper classes.",
"### 18th century",
"#### Continuing sale of tea",
"While tea slowly became more common in coffee houses during the second half of the 17th century, the first tea shop in London did not open until the early 18th century. [Thomas Twining](/wiki/Twinings \"Twinings\")'s tea shop has been claimed as the first, opening in 1706, where it remains at 216 [Strand, London](/wiki/Strand%2C_London \"Strand, London\"); however, 1717 has also been given as the date for the first tea shop.{{harvnb\\|Ukers\\|1935\\|p\\=46}} In between tea's earliest mentions in Britain and its widespread popularity just over a century later, many factors contributed to the craze for this previously unknown foreign commodity.",
"Tea would not have become a British staple if not for the increase in its supply that made it more accessible. Between 1720 and 1750, the imports of tea to Britain through the East India Company more than quadrupled. By 1766, exports from Canton stood at {{convert\\|6,000,000\\|lbs\\|kg}} on British boats, compared with 4\\.5 on Dutch ships, 2\\.4 on Swedish, 2\\.1 on French. Veritable \"tea fleets\" grew up. Tea was particularly interesting to the [Atlantic world](/wiki/Atlantic_world \"Atlantic world\"), not only for its ease of cultivation but also its ease of preparation and its reputed medical benefits. Whatever the drink's supposed benefits, Francisca A. Antman has argued that the expansion of tea\\-drinking in eighteenth\\-century Britain meant that people were consuming more boiled water, which was less likely to carry pathogens, and that this explains a previously puzzling fall in mortality from the mid\\-eighteenth to the mid\\-nineteenth centuries.{{Cite journal \\|last\\=Antman \\|first\\=Francisca M. \\|date\\=2023 \\|title\\=For Want of a Cup: The Rise of Tea in England and the Impact of Water Quality on Mortality \\|url\\=https://doi.org/10\\.1162/rest\\_a\\_01158 \\|journal\\=Review of Economics and Statistics \\|volume\\=105 \\|issue\\=6 \\|pages\\=1352–1365 \\|doi\\=10\\.1162/rest\\_a\\_01158 \\|issn\\=0034\\-6535\\|hdl\\=10419/250677 \\|s2cid\\=218593795 \\|hdl\\-access\\=free }}",
"When tea was first introduced to Britain, the [East India Company](/wiki/East_India_Company \"East India Company\") was not directly trading with China, and merchants relied on tea imports from [Holland](/wiki/Holland \"Holland\").{{harvnb\\|Ellis\\|Coulton\\|Mauger\\|2015\\|p\\=37}} Because this tea was so expensive and difficult to get, there was very little demand for it, except among the elite who could afford it and made special orders. It was not until after 1700 that the East India Company began to trade regularly with China and ordered tea for export, though not in large quantities.Smith, 273\\. Smith argues that the tea trade was actually a side effect of the silk and textile trade, the most desired Chinese commodities of the time. In 1720, however, [Parliament](/wiki/Parliament \"Parliament\") banned the importation of finished Asian textiles, and traders began to focus on tea instead. This new focus marked a turning point for the British tea trade and is arguably why tea became more popular than coffee. Once the East India company focused on tea as its main import, tea soon attained price stability. Conversely, the price of coffee remained unpredictable and high, allowing tea to grow in popularity before coffee became more accessible.Smith, 274\\. Furthermore, the rising demand for tea and sugar was easily met with increased supply as the tea industry grew in India, which prevented sharp price increases that would have discouraged people from buying it.Smith, 275\\.",
"Because of the use of tea bowls, tea\\-drinking spurred the search for a European imitation of Chinese porcelain, which was first successfully produced in Britain at the [Chelsea porcelain manufactory](/wiki/Chelsea_porcelain_manufactory \"Chelsea porcelain manufactory\"), established around 1743–1745 and quickly imitated.",
"By the 1770s, all tea from foreign countries would first be imported and bought by London wholesalers or merchants before being exported by them. However, the taxes of importing tea to Britain were very high, resulting in tea being smuggled into Europe in significant quantities, forming an important aspect of the tea trade. Historians{{who\\|date\\=July 2019}} found that, regarding the British tea trade before 1784, the estimated quantity of tea smuggled was roughly {{convert\\|7,500,000\\|lbs\\|kg}} per year, although some believe the amount to be between {{convert\\|4,000,000\\|\\-\\|6,000,000\\|lbs\\|kg}}.{{Cite journal\\|date\\=October 1968\\|title\\=Smuggling and the British Tea Trade before 1784\\|journal\\=The American Historical Review\\|doi\\=10\\.1086/ahr/74\\.1\\.44\\|issn\\=1937\\-5239}} Faced with such levels of smuggling and unearned tax revenues, the British Parliament enacted the Commutation Act in 1784, slashing tea taxes from 119 percent to 12\\.5 percent, which effectively ended smuggling practices. The resulting reduction in tea prices allowed a larger population to purchase it, thereby spreading its use across social classes.",

"Though tea was gaining popularity on its own at the beginning of the 18th century, the addition of sugar to the drink aided its rise in popularity further, as the British began adding sugar to their tea between 1685 and the early 18th century.Smith, 263\\. At this time, sugar was already used to enhance the flavour of other foods among the upper classes and had a reputation as an ostentatious luxury.Smith, 266\\. Because both tea and sugar had status implications, it made sense to drink them together,Smith, 270\\. and the growth in the import of tea parallels that of sugar in the 18th century,{{cite episode\\|title\\=Tea\\|url\\=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p004y24y\\|series\\=\\[\\[In Our Time (BBC Radio 4\\)\\|In Our Time]]\\|network\\=\\[\\[BBC Radio 4]]\\|airdate\\=29 April 2004}} which itself was booming due to the growth of sugar plantations in the Americas.Smith, 271\\.",
"However, the upper classes of Britain began to care more about their health, and starting in the late 17th century, literature on the unhealthiness of sugar began to circulate.Smith, 277\\. Adding sugar to tea, however, was seen as an acceptable way to consume sugar, as it suggested that \"one had the self\\-control to consume sugar in a healthy way.\" Sugar also masked the bitterness of tea, and made it more desirable to drink; as the supply of both tea and sugar grew during the early 18th century, the combination of the two became more universal, and increased popularity and demand for both products. Black tea overtook green tea in popularity in the 1720s when it became more common for both sugar and milk to be added to tea, a practice originating outside of China.",
"#### Popularity among the middle classes",
"When the popular English patriotic ballad \"[The Roast Beef of Old England](/wiki/The_Roast_Beef_of_Old_England \"The Roast Beef of Old England\")\" was written in 1731, it portrayed tea (as well as coffee) as foreign and un\\-English, noting that they were rare during the time of [Elizabeth I](/wiki/Elizabeth_I \"Elizabeth I\").{{Cite web\\|url\\=https://www.bartleby.com/360/8/10\\.html\\|title \\= The Roast Beef of Old England.

"Because tea began in Britain as a luxury for the upper classes, it had a reputation in the 18th century as a high\\-class commodity; however, as prices slowly fell, more people at the middle levels of society had access to it. Accordingly, drinking tea became associated with respectability among upwardly mobile middle\\-class people.Smith, 276\\. When people drank tea, they were expected to possess certain manners and behave in a particular way. Soon, drinking tea became a domestic ritual among families, colleagues, and friends who were just wealthy enough to afford it, which also increased demand. The association between tea and respectability became so ingrained in both British and Irish culture that it reached a point where it could not go out of fashion. Tea drinking among these groups was also soon considered patriotic.",
"Because the East India Company had a monopoly over the tea industry in Britain, tea became more popular than coffee, chocolate, and alcohol.{{harvnb\\|Mintz\\|1985\\|p\\=113}} Tea was seen as inherently British, and its consumption was encouraged by the British government because of the revenue gained from taxing tea.{{harvnb\\|Mintz\\|1985\\|p\\=114}} Unlike coffee and chocolate, which came from the colonies of Britain's rivals in various regions of the world, tea was produced in a single massive colony and served as a means of profit and colonial power. Mintz goes so far as to argue that the combination of ritualization and increased production in the British colonies was how tea became inherently British.{{harvnb\\|Mintz\\|1985\\|p\\=110}}",
"As the British continued to import more and more tea throughout the 18th century, tea slowly went from a respectable commodity consumed by the well\\-mannered classes in domestic rituals to an absolute necessity in the British diet, even among the poor working classes. John Hanway, an 18th\\-century social reformer, observed the widespread consumption of tea by the poor in 1767\\. He described \"a certain lane ... where beggars are often seen ... drinking their tea\", as well as \"labourers mending their roads drinking their tea\" and tea \"in the cups of haymakers\".Jonas Hanway, 1767, in Mintz, 117\\. Just two centuries after the first appearance of tea in British society as a beverage for aristocrats, tea had become so widely popular and available that those at the absolute bottom of the social hierarchy were consuming it as their beverage of choice. It was at this point that tea became universal among all levels of society. [Fernand Braudel](/wiki/Fernand_Braudel \"Fernand Braudel\") asked, \"is it true to say the new drink replaced [gin](/wiki/Gin \"Gin\") in England?\"",

"By the 19th century, tea had reached the working class, and it was soon considered an everyday necessity among poor labourers. According to the Scottish historian [David MacPherson](/wiki/David_Macpherson_%28historian%29 \"David Macpherson (historian)\"), tea had become cheaper than beer by the early 19th century.David MacPherson, The History of European Commerce with India (London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, \\& Brown, 1812\\), 132, in {{harvnb\\|Mintz\\|1993\\|p\\=264}} Furthermore, sugar had also become extremely cheap by this time, and the two were almost always consumed together.{{harvnb\\|Mintz\\|1993\\|p\\=264}} Though the price of coffee had decreased by this point, tea was the preferred drink because, unlike coffee, it still tasted good when diluted, which is often how the poor consumed it to save money.{{harvnb\\|Mintz\\|1985\\|p\\=112}}",
"Tea had other attractions as well. Drinking a hot, sweet beverage helped the meals of the lower classes, which generally consisted of dry bread and cheese, go down more easily. The warm beverage was especially appealing given Britain's cold and wet climate. Additionally, tea helped alleviate some of the consequences of industrial [urbanisation](/wiki/Urbanisation \"Urbanisation\"), as drinking tea required boiling the water, thereby killing water\\-borne diseases like [dysentery](/wiki/Dysentery \"Dysentery\"), [cholera](/wiki/Cholera \"Cholera\") and [typhoid](/wiki/Typhoid \"Typhoid\").",
"However, the poor consumed tea very differently from the well\\-mannered ritual adopted by the upper classes. According to Mintz, \"tea\\-drinking among the poor probably began in connection with work, not in the home\".{{harvnb\\|Mintz\\|1993\\|p\\=265}} Day labourers brewed their tea out in the open and brought their tea equipment with them to work, as opposed to the private, domestic ritual that had previously surrounded tea\\-drinking. Afternoon tea possibly became a way to increase the number of hours labourers could work; the stimulants in the tea, accompanied by the calorie boost from the sugar and accompanying snacks, would give workers energy to finish the day's work.",
"#### Cultivation in India",
"The popularity of tea occasioned the furtive export of slips, a small shoot for planting or twig for grafting to tea plants, from China to [British India](/wiki/British_Raj \"British Raj\") and its [commercial cultivation there](/wiki/History_of_tea_in_India \"History of tea in India\"), beginning in 1840\\. Between 1872 and 1884, the supply of tea to the British Empire increased with the expansion of the railway to the east. The demand, however, was not proportional, which caused prices to rise. Nevertheless, starting in 1884, innovations in tea preparation caused the price of tea to drop and remained relatively low through the first half of the 20th century. Soon afterwards, London became the centre of the international tea trade. With high tea imports also came a large increase in the demand for porcelain. The demand for teacups, pots, and dishes increased to go along with the popular new drink.",

"In 2003, *[DataMonitor](/wiki/DataMonitor \"DataMonitor\")* reported that regular tea drinking in the United Kingdom was on the decline. There was a 10\\.25% decline in the purchase of normal teabags in Britain between 1997 and 2002\\. Sales of ground coffee also fell during the same period. Britons were instead drinking health\\-orientated beverages, like fruit or [herbal teas](/wiki/Herbal_tea \"Herbal tea\"), consumption of which increased 50% from 1997 to 2002\\. A further unexpected statistic is that the sales of [decaffeinated](/wiki/Decaffination \"Decaffination\") tea and coffee fell faster than the sale of more common varieties during this period. Declining tea sales were matched by an increase in espresso sales. Nevertheless, tea remains an extremely popular drink and is still ingrained in British culture and society.",

### 17th century and earlier
#### Early mentions
The history of European interactions with tea dates back to the mid\-16th century. The earliest mention of tea in European literature was by [Giambattista Ramusio](/wiki/Giambattista_Ramusio "Giambattista Ramusio"), a Venetian explorer, as Chai Catai, or "Tea of China", in 1559\.Giambattista Ramusio, *Navigatione et Viaggi*, Vol. II, Venice, 1559, in {{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|pp\=23–24}} Tea was mentioned several more times in various European countries afterwards, but Jan Hugo van Linschooten, a Dutch navigator, was the first to write a printed reference of tea in English in 1598 in his *Voyages and Travels*.Jan Hugo Van Linschooten, *Voyages and Travels*, London, 1598, in {{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|p\=501}}
However, it was several years later, in 1615, that the earliest known reference to tea by an Englishman took place. In a letter, Mr. R. Wickham, an agent for the [East India Company](/wiki/East_India_Company "East India Company") stationed at [Japan](/wiki/Japan "Japan"), asked a Mr. Eaton, who was stationed in then\-Portuguese [Macao](/wiki/Macao "Macao"), China,{{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|p\=37}} to send him "a pot of the best sort of chaw", phonetically an approximation of {{transl\|yue\|"chàh"}}, the local [Cantonese](/wiki/Cantonese "Cantonese") dialect word for tea. Another early reference to tea appears in the writings of trader [Samuel Purchas](/wiki/Samuel_Purchas "Samuel Purchas") in 1625\.Samuel Purchas, *Purchas His Pilgrimes*, Vol. III, London, 1625, in {{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|p\=38}} Purchas described how the Chinese consumed tea as "the powder of a certaine herbe called chia of which they put as much as a walnut shell may contain, into a dish of Porcelane, and drink it with hot water". In 1637, [Peter Mundy](/wiki/Peter_Mundy "Peter Mundy"), a traveller and merchant who came across tea in [Fujian](/wiki/Fujian "Fujian"), China, wrote, "*chaa* – only water with a kind of herb boyled in it".{{cite book\|url\={{google books\|id\=lXYFBQAAQBAJ\|pg\=PT25\|plainurl\=yes}}\|title\=Tea: A Very British Beverage\|last\=Chrystal\|first\=Paul\|date\= 2014\|publisher\=Amberley Publishing Limited}}
#### Sale of tea begins
[thumb\|1746 map showing Exchange Alley, where tea was first sold in England](/wiki/File:Exchange_Alley_-_London.jpg "Exchange Alley - London.jpg")
Though there were a number of early mentions, it was several more years before tea was actually sold in England. [Green tea](/wiki/Green_tea "Green tea") exported from China was first introduced in [the coffeehouses of London](/wiki/English_coffeehouses_in_the_17th_and_18th_centuries "English coffeehouses in the 17th and 18th centuries") shortly before the 1660 [Stuart Restoration](/wiki/Stuart_Restoration "Stuart Restoration").{{cite web\|title\=The Different Types of Tea in Britain \- There Are Many\|url\=https://www.thespruceeats.com/history\-and\-types\-of\-british\-tea\-435180\|access\-date\=2021\-03\-09\|website\=The Spruce Eats\|language\=en}}
Thomas Garway, a tobacconist and coffee house owner, was the first person in England to sell tea as a leaf and beverage at his London [coffeehouse](/wiki/Coffeehouse "Coffeehouse") in Exchange Alley in 1657\.{{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|p\=38}}{{cite book\|url\={{google books\|id\=\_TR\_PQAACAAJ\|page\=169\|plainurl\=yes}}\|title\=The True History of Tea\|last1\=Mair\|first1\=Victor H.\|last2\=Hoh\|first2\=Erling\|publisher\=\[\[Thames \& Hudson]]\|year\=2009\|isbn\=978\-0\-500\-25146\-1\|page\=169}} He had to explain the new beverage in a pamphlet. Immediately after Garway began selling it, the Sultaness Head Coffee House began selling tea as a beverage and posted the first newspaper advertisement for tea in *[Mercurius Politicus](/wiki/Mercurius_Politicus "Mercurius Politicus")* on 30 September 1658\.{{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|p\=41}} The announcement proclaimed, "That Excellent, and by all Physicians approved, *China* drink, called by the *Chinese*, *Tcha*, by other nations *Tay alias Tee*, ...sold at the Sultaness\-head, ye *Cophee\-house* in Sweetings\-Rents, by the [Royal Exchange](/wiki/Royal_Exchange%2C_London "Royal Exchange, London"), *London*".
In London, "\[c]offee, chocolate and a kind of drink called *tee*" were "sold in almost every street in 1659", according to [Thomas Rugge](/wiki/Thomas_Rugge "Thomas Rugge")'s *Diurnall*. However, tea was still mainly consumed by upper and mercantile classes. [Samuel Pepys](/wiki/Samuel_Pepys "Samuel Pepys"), curious for every novelty, tasted the new drink on 25 September 1660 and recorded the experience in his diary, writing, "I did send for a cup of tee, (a China drink) of which I had never had drunk before".
The East India Company made its first order for the importation of tea in 1667 to their agent in [Bantam](/wiki/Banten "Banten"), who then sent two canisters of tea weighing {{convert\|143\|lbs\|oz}} in 1669\.{{cite book\|url\=https://books.google.com/books?id\=VLkTAAAAQAAJ\&pg\=PA47\|title\=Commercial Statistics. a Digest of the Productive Resources, Commercial Legislation, Customs Tariffs, Navigation, Port, and Quarantine Laws, and Charges, Shipping, Imports and Exports, and the Monies, Weights, and Measures of All Nations\|author\=John MacGregor\|isbn\=978\-1130006230\|page\=47\|year\=1850}} In 1672, a servant of [Baron Herbert](/wiki/Edward_Herbert%2C_3rd_Baron_Herbert_of_Chirbury "Edward Herbert, 3rd Baron Herbert of Chirbury") in London sent his instructions for tea making, and warming the delicate cups, to [Shropshire](/wiki/Shropshire "Shropshire"):
> The directions for the tea are: a quart of spring water just boiled, to which put a spoonful of tea, and sweeten to the palate with candy sugar. As soon as the tea and sugar are in, the steam must be kept in as much as may be, and let it lie half or quarter of an hour in the heat of the fire but not boil. The little cups must be held over the steam before the liquid be put in.Smith, W. J., ed., *Herbert Correspondence*, University of Wales (1963\), pp. 204–205 no. 353, John Read to Richard Herbert of Oakly Park, [Ludlow](/wiki/Ludlow "Ludlow"), 29 June 1672\.
The earliest English [equipages](/wiki/Equipage "Equipage") for making tea date to the 1660s. Small porcelain [tea bowls](/wiki/Chawan "Chawan") were used by the fashionable and were occasionally shipped with the tea itself.
#### Tea as a medicinal drink
The first factor that contributed to the rise in popularity of tea was its reputation as a medicinal drink. Tea first became labelled as a medical drink in 1641 by the Dutch physician and director of the [Dutch East India Company](/wiki/Dutch_East_India_Company "Dutch East India Company") Nikolas Dirx, who wrote under the pseudonym [Nicolaes Tulp](/wiki/Nicolaes_Tulp "Nicolaes Tulp");{{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|p\=31}} in his book *Observationes Medicae*, he claimed that "nothing is comparable to this plant" and that those who use it are "exempt from all maladies and reach an extreme old age".Nicolas Tulp, *Obersaciones Medicae*, Amsterdam, 1641, in {{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|pp\=31–32}} Dirx went into considerable detail on the specific merits of tea, such as curing "headaches, colds, ophthalmia, catarrh, asthma, sluggishness of the stomach, and intestinal troubles". Thomas Garway, the first English shopkeeper praised the medical benefits of tea in a broadsheet published in 1660 titled "An Exact Description of the Growth, Quality, and Vertues of the Leaf TEA". Garway claims that "the Drink is declared to be most wholesome, preserving in perfect health until extreme Old Age", as well as "maketh the body active and lusty", "helpeth the Headache", "taketh away the difficulty of breathing", "strengtheneth the Memory", and "expelleth infection".Thomas Garway, "An Exact Description of the Growth, Quality, and Vertues of the Leaf TEA", 1660, preserved in the British Museum, in {{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|pp\=38–39}}
There were many more published works on the health benefits of tea, including those by [Samuel Hartlib](/wiki/Samuel_Hartlib "Samuel Hartlib") in 1657, [Cornelis Bontekoe](/wiki/Cornelis_Bontekoe "Cornelis Bontekoe") in 1678, [Thomas Povey](/wiki/Thomas_Povey "Thomas Povey") in 1686, and [Thomas Tryon](/wiki/Thomas_Tryon "Thomas Tryon") in the 1690s;{{harvnb\|Ellis\|Coulton\|Mauger\|2015\|pp\=32, 34}}Thomas Povey, Esq., "A Famous Tea Manuscript of 1686", 20 October 1686, in {{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|p\=40}}Smith, 296\. one satirist of the time asked if the [Royal College of Physicians](/wiki/Royal_College_of_Physicians "Royal College of Physicians") could debate whether any of the exotic new hot drinks would "agree with the Constitutions of our *English* bodies".{{cite journal\|last\=Shapin\|first\=Steven\|date\=30 July 2015\|title\=Pretence for Prattle\|url\=http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n15/steven\-shapin/pretence\-for\-prattle\|journal\=\[\[The London Review of Books]]\|volume\=37\|issue\=15\|pages\=17–18\|access\-date\=24 July 2015}} In 1667, Pepys noted that his wife was taking tea on medical advice – "a drink which Mr Pelling the [Pottecary](/wiki/Apothecary "Apothecary") tells her is good for her colds and defluxions". English philosopher [John Locke](/wiki/John_Locke "John Locke") developed a fondness for tea after spending time with Dutch medical men in the 1680s.{{harvnb\|Ellis\|Coulton\|Mauger\|2015\|p\=43}} These men are the "virtuosi" referred to by Ellis, Coulton, and Mauger: scientists, philosophers, and doctors who first took an interest in tea and contributed to its early popularity as a pharmaceutical.{{harvnb\|Ellis\|Coulton\|Mauger\|2015\|p\=31}} However, as with Dirx, some of these men may have been influenced by the Indies trading companies and merchants who wished to create a market for tea. Nevertheless, these writings about the perceived health benefits of tea contributed to the rise of the drink's popularity in England.
A 2022 study found that rising tea consumption during the 18th century in England had the unintended impact of reducing mortality rates, as it led more people to boil their water, thus reducing their vulnerability to waterborne diseases.{{Cite journal\|last\=Antman\|first\=Francisca M.\|date\=2022\|title\=For Want of a Cup: The Rise of Tea in England and the Impact of Water Quality on Mortality\|url\=https://doi.org/10\.1162/rest\_a\_01158\|journal\=The Review of Economics and Statistics\|volume\=105 \|issue\=6 \|pages\=1352–1365 \|doi\=10\.1162/rest\_a\_01158\|issn\=0034\-6535\|hdl\=10419/250677\|s2cid\=218593795 \|hdl\-access\=free}}
#### Popularity among aristocrats
[thumb\|Lady drinking tea by [Niclas Lafrensen](/wiki/Niclas_Lafrensen "Niclas Lafrensen")](/wiki/File:Lady_drinking_tea_-_Lavreince.jpg "Lady drinking tea - Lavreince.jpg")
According to Ellis, Coulton, and Mauger, "tea was six to ten times more expensive than coffee" in the 1660s, making it a costly and luxurious commodity.{{harvnb\|Ellis\|Coulton\|Mauger\|2015\|p\=36}} The proliferation of works on the health benefits of tea came at a time when people in the upper classes of English society began to take an interest in their health, further bolstering its popularity.
In 1660, {{convert\|2\|lb}} and {{convert\|2\|oz}} of tea bought from Portugal were formally presented to [Charles II of England](/wiki/Charles_II_of_England "Charles II of England") by the East India Company. The drink, already common in Europe, was a favourite of his new Portuguese bride, [Catherine of Braganza](/wiki/Catherine_of_Braganza "Catherine of Braganza"). She introduced it at [Domus Dei](/wiki/Domus_Dei "Domus Dei") in Portsmouth{{cite web\|url\=https://www.rmg.co.uk/discover/behind\-the\-scenes/blog/very\-royal\-wedding\-charles\-ii\-and\-catherine\-braganza\|title \= A very Royal Wedding \- Charles II and Catherine of Braganza}} during her wedding to Charles II in 1662 and made it fashionable among the ladies of the court as her temperance drink of choice.Smith, 268\.{{harvnb\|Mintz\|1993\|p\=110}} Catherine of Braganza's use of tea as a court beverage rather than a medicinal drink influenced its popularity in literary circles around 1685\. Whenever it was consumed in the court, it was "conspicuously on display" so as to show it off.
Accordingly, tea drinking became a central aspect of aristocratic society in England by the 1680s, particularly among women who drank it while visiting in the home.{{harvnb\|Ellis\|Coulton\|Mauger\|2015\|p\=39}} Catherine of Braganza's tea\-drinking habit made tea an acceptable drink for both gentlemen and ladies. Wealthy ladies' desire to show off their luxurious commodities in front of other ladies also increased demand for tea and made it more popular. The addition of sugar was yet another factor that made tea desirable among the elite crowd, as it was another luxurious commodity already well\-established among the upper classes.

### 18th century
#### Continuing sale of tea
While tea slowly became more common in coffee houses during the second half of the 17th century, the first tea shop in London did not open until the early 18th century. [Thomas Twining](/wiki/Twinings "Twinings")'s tea shop has been claimed as the first, opening in 1706, where it remains at 216 [Strand, London](/wiki/Strand%2C_London "Strand, London"); however, 1717 has also been given as the date for the first tea shop.{{harvnb\|Ukers\|1935\|p\=46}} In between tea's earliest mentions in Britain and its widespread popularity just over a century later, many factors contributed to the craze for this previously unknown foreign commodity.
Tea would not have become a British staple if not for the increase in its supply that made it more accessible. Between 1720 and 1750, the imports of tea to Britain through the East India Company more than quadrupled. By 1766, exports from Canton stood at {{convert\|6,000,000\|lbs\|kg}} on British boats, compared with 4\.5 on Dutch ships, 2\.4 on Swedish, 2\.1 on French. Veritable "tea fleets" grew up. Tea was particularly interesting to the [Atlantic world](/wiki/Atlantic_world "Atlantic world"), not only for its ease of cultivation but also its ease of preparation and its reputed medical benefits. Whatever the drink's supposed benefits, Francisca A. Antman has argued that the expansion of tea\-drinking in eighteenth\-century Britain meant that people were consuming more boiled water, which was less likely to carry pathogens, and that this explains a previously puzzling fall in mortality from the mid\-eighteenth to the mid\-nineteenth centuries.{{Cite journal \|last\=Antman \|first\=Francisca M. \|date\=2023 \|title\=For Want of a Cup: The Rise of Tea in England and the Impact of Water Quality on Mortality \|url\=https://doi.org/10\.1162/rest\_a\_01158 \|journal\=Review of Economics and Statistics \|volume\=105 \|issue\=6 \|pages\=1352–1365 \|doi\=10\.1162/rest\_a\_01158 \|issn\=0034\-6535\|hdl\=10419/250677 \|s2cid\=218593795 \|hdl\-access\=free }}
When tea was first introduced to Britain, the [East India Company](/wiki/East_India_Company "East India Company") was not directly trading with China, and merchants relied on tea imports from [Holland](/wiki/Holland "Holland").{{harvnb\|Ellis\|Coulton\|Mauger\|2015\|p\=37}} Because this tea was so expensive and difficult to get, there was very little demand for it, except among the elite who could afford it and made special orders. It was not until after 1700 that the East India Company began to trade regularly with China and ordered tea for export, though not in large quantities.Smith, 273\. Smith argues that the tea trade was actually a side effect of the silk and textile trade, the most desired Chinese commodities of the time. In 1720, however, [Parliament](/wiki/Parliament "Parliament") banned the importation of finished Asian textiles, and traders began to focus on tea instead. This new focus marked a turning point for the British tea trade and is arguably why tea became more popular than coffee. Once the East India company focused on tea as its main import, tea soon attained price stability. Conversely, the price of coffee remained unpredictable and high, allowing tea to grow in popularity before coffee became more accessible.Smith, 274\. Furthermore, the rising demand for tea and sugar was easily met with increased supply as the tea industry grew in India, which prevented sharp price increases that would have discouraged people from buying it.Smith, 275\.
Because of the use of tea bowls, tea\-drinking spurred the search for a European imitation of Chinese porcelain, which was first successfully produced in Britain at the [Chelsea porcelain manufactory](/wiki/Chelsea_porcelain_manufactory "Chelsea porcelain manufactory"), established around 1743–1745 and quickly imitated.
By the 1770s, all tea from foreign countries would first be imported and bought by London wholesalers or merchants before being exported by them. However, the taxes of importing tea to Britain were very high, resulting in tea being smuggled into Europe in significant quantities, forming an important aspect of the tea trade. Historians{{who\|date\=July 2019}} found that, regarding the British tea trade before 1784, the estimated quantity of tea smuggled was roughly {{convert\|7,500,000\|lbs\|kg}} per year, although some believe the amount to be between {{convert\|4,000,000\|\-\|6,000,000\|lbs\|kg}}.{{Cite journal\|date\=October 1968\|title\=Smuggling and the British Tea Trade before 1784\|journal\=The American Historical Review\|doi\=10\.1086/ahr/74\.1\.44\|issn\=1937\-5239}} Faced with such levels of smuggling and unearned tax revenues, the British Parliament enacted the Commutation Act in 1784, slashing tea taxes from 119 percent to 12\.5 percent, which effectively ended smuggling practices. The resulting reduction in tea prices allowed a larger population to purchase it, thereby spreading its use across social classes.
In the late 1770s, the owner of the [Charleston Tea Plantation](/wiki/Charleston_Tea_Garden "Charleston Tea Garden") exported Chinese tea plants to his farm in [Charleston, South Carolina](/wiki/Charleston%2C_South_Carolina "Charleston, South Carolina"), with the intention of producing a number of varieties of tea, including [green tea](/wiki/Green_tea "Green tea"), [black tea](/wiki/Black_tea "Black tea") and [oolong tea](/wiki/Oolong_tea "Oolong tea"), a successful strategy resulting in significant sales to the British population.{{Cite AV media\|url\=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v\=QCmGOXa9eLc \|archive\-url\=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/QCmGOXa9eLc \|archive\-date\=2021\-12\-21 \|url\-status\=live\|title\=A Mystery Drink – The History Of Tea\|date\=6 June 2016\|access\-date\=2019\-03\-05\|work\=History TV}}{{cbignore}}
#### Introduction of milk and sugar
[thumb\|A modern British tea set, in which a sugar bowl and a milk jug accompany the teapot](/wiki/File:LangleyPrincessTeaset.jpg "LangleyPrincessTeaset.jpg")
Though tea was gaining popularity on its own at the beginning of the 18th century, the addition of sugar to the drink aided its rise in popularity further, as the British began adding sugar to their tea between 1685 and the early 18th century.Smith, 263\. At this time, sugar was already used to enhance the flavour of other foods among the upper classes and had a reputation as an ostentatious luxury.Smith, 266\. Because both tea and sugar had status implications, it made sense to drink them together,Smith, 270\. and the growth in the import of tea parallels that of sugar in the 18th century,{{cite episode\|title\=Tea\|url\=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p004y24y\|series\=\[\[In Our Time (BBC Radio 4\)\|In Our Time]]\|network\=\[\[BBC Radio 4]]\|airdate\=29 April 2004}} which itself was booming due to the growth of sugar plantations in the Americas.Smith, 271\.
However, the upper classes of Britain began to care more about their health, and starting in the late 17th century, literature on the unhealthiness of sugar began to circulate.Smith, 277\. Adding sugar to tea, however, was seen as an acceptable way to consume sugar, as it suggested that "one had the self\-control to consume sugar in a healthy way." Sugar also masked the bitterness of tea, and made it more desirable to drink; as the supply of both tea and sugar grew during the early 18th century, the combination of the two became more universal, and increased popularity and demand for both products. Black tea overtook green tea in popularity in the 1720s when it became more common for both sugar and milk to be added to tea, a practice originating outside of China.
#### Popularity among the middle classes
When the popular English patriotic ballad "[The Roast Beef of Old England](/wiki/The_Roast_Beef_of_Old_England "The Roast Beef of Old England")" was written in 1731, it portrayed tea (as well as coffee) as foreign and un\-English, noting that they were rare during the time of [Elizabeth I](/wiki/Elizabeth_I "Elizabeth I").{{Cite web\|url\=https://www.bartleby.com/360/8/10\.html\|title \= The Roast Beef of Old England. Henry Fielding (1707\-1754\). I. Patriotism. Bliss Carman, et al., eds. 1904\. The World's Best Poetry. VIII. National Spirit\| date\=9 September 2022 }}
Because tea began in Britain as a luxury for the upper classes, it had a reputation in the 18th century as a high\-class commodity; however, as prices slowly fell, more people at the middle levels of society had access to it. Accordingly, drinking tea became associated with respectability among upwardly mobile middle\-class people.Smith, 276\. When people drank tea, they were expected to possess certain manners and behave in a particular way. Soon, drinking tea became a domestic ritual among families, colleagues, and friends who were just wealthy enough to afford it, which also increased demand. The association between tea and respectability became so ingrained in both British and Irish culture that it reached a point where it could not go out of fashion. Tea drinking among these groups was also soon considered patriotic.
Because the East India Company had a monopoly over the tea industry in Britain, tea became more popular than coffee, chocolate, and alcohol.{{harvnb\|Mintz\|1985\|p\=113}} Tea was seen as inherently British, and its consumption was encouraged by the British government because of the revenue gained from taxing tea.{{harvnb\|Mintz\|1985\|p\=114}} Unlike coffee and chocolate, which came from the colonies of Britain's rivals in various regions of the world, tea was produced in a single massive colony and served as a means of profit and colonial power. Mintz goes so far as to argue that the combination of ritualization and increased production in the British colonies was how tea became inherently British.{{harvnb\|Mintz\|1985\|p\=110}}
As the British continued to import more and more tea throughout the 18th century, tea slowly went from a respectable commodity consumed by the well\-mannered classes in domestic rituals to an absolute necessity in the British diet, even among the poor working classes. John Hanway, an 18th\-century social reformer, observed the widespread consumption of tea by the poor in 1767\. He described "a certain lane ... where beggars are often seen ... drinking their tea", as well as "labourers mending their roads drinking their tea" and tea "in the cups of haymakers".Jonas Hanway, 1767, in Mintz, 117\. Just two centuries after the first appearance of tea in British society as a beverage for aristocrats, tea had become so widely popular and available that those at the absolute bottom of the social hierarchy were consuming it as their beverage of choice. It was at this point that tea became universal among all levels of society. [Fernand Braudel](/wiki/Fernand_Braudel "Fernand Braudel") asked, "is it true to say the new drink replaced [gin](/wiki/Gin "Gin") in England?"

### Recovery plan
[thumb\|upright\|A condor chick being fed by a condor head feeding puppet](/wiki/File:Gymnogyps_californianus1.jpg "Gymnogyps californianus1.jpg")
As the condor's population continued to decline, discussion began about starting a captive breeding program for the birds. Opponents to this plan argued that the condors had the right to freedom and that capturing all of the condors would change the species' habits forever, and that the cost was too great.Nielsen 2006, p. 13 The project received the approval of the [United States government](/wiki/Federal_government_of_the_United_States "Federal government of the United States"), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service established the California Condor Recovery Program in 1979\.{{Cite web \|date\=November 3, 2023 \|title\=California Condor Recovery Program \|url\=https://www.fws.gov/program/california\-condor\-recovery \|access\-date\=November 3, 2023 \|website\=U.S. Fish \& Wildlife Service}} The capture of the remaining wild condors was completed on [Easter Sunday](/wiki/Easter_Sunday "Easter Sunday") 1987, when AC\-9, the last wild condor, was captured.Nielsen 2006, p. 24 At that point, there were only 22 surviving condors, all of them in captivity.{{cite web\|url\=http://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/california\-condor\|title\=California Condor \- San Diego Zoo Animals \& Plants\|website\=animals.sandiegozoo.org\|access\-date\=June 27, 2018\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20140928155515/http://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/california\-condor\|archive\-date\=September 28, 2014\|url\-status\=dead}} The goal of the California Condor Recovery Plan was to establish two geographically separate populations, one in California and the other in Arizona, each with 150 birds and at least 15 breeding pairs.

### Reintroduction to the wild
In 1988, the [United States Fish and Wildlife Service](/wiki/United_States_Fish_and_Wildlife_Service "United States Fish and Wildlife Service") began a reintroduction experiment involving the release of captive [Andean condors](/wiki/Andean_condor "Andean condor") into the wild in California. Only females were released, to eliminate the possibility of accidentally introducing a South American species into the United States. The experiment was a success, and all the Andean condors were recaptured and re\-released in South America. California condors were released in 1991 and 1992 in California at [Big Sur](/wiki/Big_Sur "Big Sur"), [Pinnacles National Park](/wiki/Pinnacles_National_Park "Pinnacles National Park") and [Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuge](/wiki/Bitter_Creek_National_Wildlife_Refuge "Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuge") and in 1996 at the [Vermilion Cliffs](/wiki/Vermilion_Cliffs "Vermilion Cliffs") release site in Arizona near the Grand Canyon. The Fish and Wildlife Service designated the Arizona condors as an *experimental, nonessential* animal so they would not affect land regulations or development as ranchers were concerned they could be charged with an offense if any birds were injured on their property after the release.{{Cite news\|url\=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/12/10/science/majestic\-species\-fate\-may\-ride\-on\-wings\-of\-6\-freed\-condors.html\|title\=Majestic Species' Fate May Ride on Wings Of 6 Freed Condors\|last\=Kopytoff\|first\=Verne G.\|date\=December 10, 1996\|work\=\[\[The New York Times]]\|access\-date\=August 8, 2019\|language\=en\-US\|issn\=0362\-4331\|archive\-date\=August 8, 2019\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20190808031819/https://www.nytimes.com/1996/12/10/science/majestic\-species\-fate\-may\-ride\-on\-wings\-of\-6\-freed\-condors.html\|url\-status\=live}} Though the birth rate remains low in the wild, their numbers are increasing steadily through regular releases of captive\-reared adolescents.{{cite news \|title\=Condor population reaches 100 in California \|author\=Weise, Elizabeth \|newspaper\=\[\[USA Today]] \|date\=October 7, 2010 \|url\=http://content.usatoday.com/communities/sciencefair/post/2010/10/california\-california\-condor\-population\-reaches\-100/1 \|access\-date\=October 7, 2010 \|archive\-date\=June 28, 2017 \|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20170628171735/http://content.usatoday.com/communities/sciencefair/post/2010/10/california\-california\-condor\-population\-reaches\-100/1 \|url\-status\=live }}

### Obstacles to recovery
In modern times, numerous causes have contributed to the California condor's decline, both before and after recovery efforts began. For example, between 1992 and 2013, 237 condor deaths occurred in the wild population. The leading cause of mortality in condor nestlings is the ingestion of trash that is fed to them by their parents. Among juveniles and adults, [lead poisoning](/wiki/Lead_poisoning "Lead poisoning") (from eating animal carcasses containing lead shot) is the leading cause of death.
Significant past damage to the condor population has also been attributed to [poaching](/wiki/Poaching "Poaching"),Nielsen 2006, p. 83 [DDT](/wiki/DDT "DDT") poisoning, [electric power lines](/wiki/Electric_power_transmission "Electric power transmission"), [egg collecting](/wiki/Egg_collecting "Egg collecting"), and [habitat destruction](/wiki/Habitat_destruction "Habitat destruction"). During the [California Gold Rush](/wiki/California_Gold_Rush "California Gold Rush"), some condors were even kept as pets.Nielsen 2006, p. 88
#### Reproduction
Its low clutch size (one young per nest) and late age of sexual maturity (≈6 years) make the bird vulnerable to artificial population decline.
Inbreeding may be causing increased incidence of fatal [chondrodystrophic](/wiki/Chondrodystrophy "Chondrodystrophy") [dwarfism](/wiki/Dwarfism "Dwarfism") in wild condors, as well as a syndrome presenting with 14 rather than the typical 12 tail feathers.{{cite web \|last1\=Sanders \|first1\=Robert \|title\=High genomic diversity is good news for California condor \|url\=https://news.berkeley.edu/2021/05/13/high\-genomic\-diversity\-is\-good\-news\-for\-california\-condor \|website\=Berkeley News \|publisher\=University of California Berkeley \|access\-date\=24 April 2024 \|date\=13 May 2021}} A 2021 study found a surprising degree of genomic diversity in condors, however.{{cite journal \|last1\=Robinson \|first1\=Jacqueline A. \|last2\=Bowie \|first2\=Rauri C.K. \|last3\=Dudchenko \|first3\=Olga \|last4\=Liberman Aiden \|first4\=Erez \|last5\=Hendrickson \|first5\=Sher L. \|last6\=Steiner \|first6\=Cynthia C. \|last7\=Ryder \|first7\=Oliver A. \|last8\=Mindell \|first8\=David P. \|last9\=Wall \|first9\=Jeffrey D. \|title\=Genome\-wide diversity in the California condor tracks its prehistoric abundance and decline \|journal\=Current Biology \|date\=12 July 2021 \|volume\=31 \|issue\=13 \|pages\=P2939–2946\.E5 \|doi\=10\.1016/j.cub.2021\.04\.035 \|pmid\=33989525 \|bibcode\=2021CBio...31E2939R \|doi\-access\=free }} Such data allow refinement to conservation strategies, helping mitigate the effects of inbreeding.

In 2015, Bruce Rideout, director of the wildlife disease laboratories for San Diego Zoo Global, indicated that lead poisoning is the most common cause of death for juvenile and adult condors in the wild. Among wild deaths with known causes between 1992 and 2013, over 60% (excluding chicks and fledglings) have been as a result of lead poisoning.{{cite web\| author\=Dawn Starin\| title\=Condors or lead ammunition?

According to [epidemiologist](/wiki/Epidemiologist "Epidemiologist") Terra Kelly, until all natural food sources are free from lead\-based ammunition, "lead poisoning will threaten recovery of naturally sustaining populations of condors in the wild." While researchers and veterinarians involved in the condor recovery program note that hunters who use lead\-free ammunition actually provide critical sources of food for condors and other scavengers, they caution that using lead ammunition presents a serious and preventable threat to condors and other wildlife.{{Cite magazine\|url\=https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/01/lead\-shooting\-ranges\-osha/\|title\=How Dangerous Is the Lead in Bullets?\|last\=Zhang\|first\=Sarah\|date\=January 3, 2013\|magazine\=\[\[Mother Jones (magazine)\|Mother Jones]]\|access\-date\=January 8, 2020\|quote\=The most direct solution is switching to lead\-free ammunition or at least jacketed bullets, which have a lead core covered with a coating made of copper or nylon.

#### Other premature death
Premature condor death may also occur due to contact with [golden eagles](/wiki/Golden_eagle "Golden eagle"), whose talons enable defense of carrion against condors.

Collision with power lines can also result in condor death. Since 1994, captive\-bred California condors have been trained to avoid power lines and people.

#### Trash ingestion
"Being vultures, condors not only eat dead animals but they also have been observed eating small pieces of bone \[which is especially crucial during the egg\-laying period].

Biologists can then use this data to deduce which birds are at risk of lead poisoning.
Condor Watch enabled volunteers, or [citizen scientists](/wiki/Citizen_scientists "Citizen scientists"), to participate in active research. The project had up 175,000 images to view and assess far more than the team could hope to view on their own. Lead scientist Myra Finkelstein believes volunteering is fun because it allows enthusiasts to track the "biographies" of individual condors. Citizen science has long been used in [ornithology](/wiki/Ornithology "Ornithology"), for instance in the [Audubon Society](/wiki/National_Audubon_Society "National Audubon Society")'s [Christmas Bird Count](/wiki/Christmas_Bird_Count "Christmas Bird Count"), which began in 1900 and the [breeding bird survey](/wiki/Breeding_bird_survey "Breeding bird survey") which began in 1966\. McCaffrey (2005\) believes this approach not only directly benefits ongoing projects, but will also help train aspiring ornithologists.McCaffrey, R.E. (2005\).

"### Obstacles to recovery",
"In modern times, numerous causes have contributed to the California condor's decline, both before and after recovery efforts began. For example, between 1992 and 2013, 237 condor deaths occurred in the wild population. The leading cause of mortality in condor nestlings is the ingestion of trash that is fed to them by their parents. Among juveniles and adults, [lead poisoning](/wiki/Lead_poisoning \"Lead poisoning\") (from eating animal carcasses containing lead shot) is the leading cause of death.",
"Significant past damage to the condor population has also been attributed to [poaching](/wiki/Poaching \"Poaching\"),Nielsen 2006, p. 83 [DDT](/wiki/DDT \"DDT\") poisoning, [electric power lines](/wiki/Electric_power_transmission \"Electric power transmission\"), [egg collecting](/wiki/Egg_collecting \"Egg collecting\"), and [habitat destruction](/wiki/Habitat_destruction \"Habitat destruction\").

Accessed on 26 October 2011\. The home’s eventual residents also provide additional labor in the majority of projects as a way of saving costs during construction and post construction, as skills can assist in the future maintenance of the home.
Home designs are typically smaller home projects (240 square\-feet per person),Barth, Linda. (2008, July). From Garbage to Glorious.

Plot
----
The first half of the film depicts the story through the eyes of Sugath and the next half the audience see the story through the eyes of Dhammi. Damayanthi "Dhammi" Kariyawasam ([Anula Karunathilaka](/wiki/Anula_Karunathilaka "Anula Karunathilaka")) is a mischievous school girl. Sugath Weerasekara (Wickrama Bogoda) is a shy and introverted boy who is new to Dhammi's school. He is quiet and gifted at schoolwork. Dhammi is immediately attracted to him and they become friends. The friendship eventually develops into a special relationship.
Sugath, who has lost his parents when he was very young, has a brother who is attending university. He tells his brother, Sarath ([Wijeratne Warakagoda](/wiki/Wijeratne_Warakagoda "Wijeratne Warakagoda")) about his relationship with Dhammi.
On the day of the final exam, Dhammi tells Sugath not to keep any further hopes about her.
Sugath is heartbroken and comes home to meet Sarath. In the meantime, he passes his exams with flying colors and Sarath marries Champa ([Sriyani Amarasena](/wiki/Sriyani_Amarasena "Sriyani Amarasena")), who is willing to accept Sugath as her own brother.
But Sugath is unable to forget Dhammi, and keeps thinking about her and begins to drink heavily to alleviate his pain. He also loses his job as a teacher and leaves the home he shares with his brother's family.
One day, Dhammi comes to meet Sugath and reveals the secret for her sudden change. She tells Sugath that she loved him despite knowing that she would never have the chance to become his wife. She begs for forgiveness from him for playing with his feelings and asks him to change for her sake. Dejected, Sugath returns home, broken\-hearted.

Chapter summary
---------------
Volume Three (of Tales of the Crusaders)
Ch.1: Kenneth and an Emir \[Sheerkohf or Ilderim, Saladin incognito] clash by the Dead Sea and agree a personal truce.
Ch. 2: Kenneth and Sheerkohf are contrasted as they arrive at the oasis known as the Diamond of the Desert. They express their differing cultural views of women.
Ch. 3: As they continue to debate, Sheerkohf tells of his descent from the immortal Genii. They encounter the hermit Engaddi and are afforded shelter for the night in his cell.
Ch. 4: Entering a richly decorated chapel, Kenneth receives the clandestine acknowledgment of one of the choristers, his lady love Edith.
Ch. 5: After the service two dwarves, Nectanabus and Guenevra, enter the chapel: Engaddi dismisses them and departs with Kenneth.
Ch. 6: The fevered King Richard and Sir Thomas de Vaux discuss the inactivity of the other Crusaders and their inability to find an effective leader.
Ch. 7: Kenneth arrives and tries to persuade De Vaux (who is not well disposed to the Scots) that a Moorish physician sent by Saladin, Adouban el Hakim \[Saladin again in disguise], should be admitted to Richard.
Ch. 8: Richard tells De Vaux that he will see El Hakim. De Vaux and the Archbishop of Tyre discuss the physician and receive a demonstration of his skill. The Archbishop is alarmed to learn that Kenneth has returned.
Ch. 9: Kenneth tells Richard that he sought Engaddi, at the behest of the Crusading council, to act as a vehicle for securing a lasting peace. Giles Amaury, Grand Master of the Templars, and Conrade of Montserrat urge Richard not to trust El Hakim, but he drinks the cup of water prepared by the physician by dipping a talisman in it.
Ch. 10: Amaury and Conrade consider that their ambitions will be best served by a Crusader withdrawal, to which Richard is opposed. Amaury suggests he be assassinated, but they agree that Conrade should first attempt to stir up dissent between Austria and England.
Ch. 11: Conrade arouses Leopold of Austria, who plants his banner alongside Richard's. Richard fells the Austrian flag and the Earl Wallenrode, and entrusts the care of his own standard to Kenneth.
Ch. 12: Nectanabus brings a ring as a token of summons from Edith and persuades Kenneth to leave the banner unattended.
Ch. 13: Kenneth overhears the royal ladies discussing him in their tent: it becomes clear that he has been enticed to leave the standard as a result of a wager by the Queen, and when he is revealed Edith urges him to return to his watch. He finds Richard's flag gone and his own dog Roswal injured.
Volume Four
Ch. 1 (14\): El Hakim sets about tending Roswal and tells Kenneth that Tyre is to suggest to Richard a plan including the marriage of Saladin and Edith as part of a peace treaty.
Ch. 2 (15\): Kenneth accepts the royal sentence of death for deserting the banner.
Ch. 3 (16\): At Edith's urging, Queen Berengaria agrees to intercede with her husband for Kenneth's life.
Ch. 4 (17\): Berengaria and Edith, supported by Engaddi, obtain a temporary stay of execution for Kenneth.

Description
-----------
The [wingspan](/wiki/Wingspan "Wingspan") is 14\.0\-17\.7 mm in males and 15\.3\-17\.8 mm in females. They have been recorded on wing in September.{{Citation needed\|date\=August 2024}}
The wings have a cinnamon\-purple color on the upperside, and cinnamon\-brown color underneath on males. On females, the upperside is mauve, darkening towards the base with brown\-black markings on the outer edges, while its underside is similar to the male but featuring bolder spotting.
These butterflies are a relatively medium to small species that lacks tails.
### Male
The head region is white around the eyes, with distinct grey and black longitudinal lines between them, and behind the [antennae](/wiki/Antenna_%28biology%29 "Antenna (biology)"). There are grey\-black scales on the [frons](/wiki/Frons "Frons"). The antennae feature incomplete white bands on a black base beneath the club and base of each segment, which grow wider on the ventral surface. The underside of the club is orange\-brown, while the upperside is black , grey and white on the outer edge. Its [apiculus](/wiki/Insect_morphology "Insect morphology") is blunt and the tips are flat and twisted.
The [labial palpi](https://www.britannica.com/science/labial-palp) consists of 3 segments: the basal segment is [dorsally](/wiki/Dorsally "Dorsally") black and laterally white. The following segment is predominantly black with very little white at the basal area, and the last (apical) segment is entirely black.
The thorax is black with a slight blue iridescence, and contains grey and golden\-brown hairs arranged [posteriorly](/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_location "Anatomical terms of location") and laterally. The underside is white.
The [femora](/wiki/Femur "Femur"), [tibiae](/wiki/Tibia "Tibia"), and [tarsi](/wiki/Tarsus_%28skeleton%29 "Tarsus (skeleton)") grow lighter in shade in the respective order, with a mix of beige, white and brown. The femur\-tibia follow size ratios of:
* [Foreleg](/wiki/Forelimb "Forelimb"): 1\.09:1
* Midleg: 1\.41:1
* [Hindleg](/wiki/Hindlimb "Hindlimb"): 0\.90:1
The abdomen transitions from black\-brown to creamy\-white [ventrally](/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_location "Anatomical terms of location") on its [dorsal](/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_location "Anatomical terms of location") region. A few bluish scales are present dorsally on the abdomen and thorax.
The males show strong resemblance to *[L. cupreus](/wiki/Lepidochrysops_cupreus "Lepidochrysops cupreus")* (Quickelberge,1979\), though they lack the underside pattern seen in the *[L. peculiaris](/wiki/Lepidochrysops_peculiaris "Lepidochrysops peculiaris")* group.
#### Forewing
The dorsal surface if the [forewings](/wiki/Forewings "Forewings") features a purple sheen on a cinnamon base, and blackish tones near the base. The end of the cell and veins are darker with a dark marginal region, and the [cilia](/wiki/Cilium "Cilium") darken [proximally](/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_location "Anatomical terms of location"). The ventral surface lightens towards the inner margin, with a golden\-brown mark at the end of the cell.
Some specimens feature post\-discal spots, which are variable in number and often absent. When present, these spots seem to be darker and surrounded by a paler halo. There are two lines running down the wings: a dark submarginal line that runs down and is interrupted at the veins, getting dislodged towards the base; and a paler line interrupted at the wings, down its [termen](/wiki/Glossary_of_entomology_terms "Glossary of entomology terms"). The margin is golden\-brown with bronze cilia and a darker central portion.
#### Hindwing
The [hindwing](/wiki/Hindwing "Hindwing") is similar in coloration to the forewing and is tailless. A faint black spot with a slight orange inner ring is located near the margin. There is a light mark at the end of the cell, sometimes surrounded by orange scales. The coastal area and termen are darker, gradually lightening towards the base. The fringe along the edge is beige distally, transitioning to brownish\-black proximally.
There is an arc of spots on discal region, the visibility and presence of which varies among species. These are black spots are outlined with white rings on the inner and outer margins, except two which contain white rings on the outer margin only. These spots appear isolated and are located closer to the base of the wings. A scaled, longitudinal\-striped border marks the [discocellular](/wiki/Glossary_of_entomology_terms "Glossary of entomology terms") area.
In some specimens, three subbasal black spots with pale scales are present. There are also two submarginal lines, interrupted at the veins. However, these lines are not consistend among specimens and may be replaced by black spots, lined with orange and bluish scales. A pale line runs along the termen.
### Genitalia
The [uncus](/wiki/Lepidoptera_genitalia "Lepidoptera genitalia") is bilobed, laterally fused to [tegumen](/wiki/Lepidoptera_genitalia "Lepidoptera genitalia"). There are long and curved [subunci](/wiki/Lepidoptera_genitalia "Lepidoptera genitalia"), that gradually thin towards the apex, which is hooked. The lower [fultura](/wiki/Fultura_insect "Fultura insect") consists of two small arms fused to the base of the valves. These valves are long and bow\-shaped, narrowing and recurving to form a pointed shape towards the distal third. There is long, fine cilia upon the valves and uncus.
The [aedaegus](/wiki/Aedeagus "Aedeagus") is cylindrical, thick and largens towards apical end. Sheathing it is the [anellus](/wiki/Lepidoptera_genitalia "Lepidoptera genitalia"), which is broad and also fused to the aedaegus. Distally, the aedaegus has a smooth appearance due to presence of short, lateral pieces.
### Female
The coloration and markings of the head region and thorax in females, is similar to the males. However, the thorax features more light blue scales as compared.
The femora are beige above and laterally, while the tibiae and tarsi are black\-beige on the outer lateral edge. All legs are white on the underside (with some black scales on the tarsi) The femur\-tibia follow size ratios of:
* Foreleg: 1\.3:1
* Midleg: 1\.6:1
* Hindleg: 1\.1:1
The abdomen is grey\-brown above, becoming creamy to white below. The base of each segment is light in color, containing some purple and light blue scales on the dorsal surface.
#### Forewing
The upper side is [mauve](/wiki/Mauve "Mauve") in color, darkening towards base, and extending towards the inner\-marginal area. The costal, marginal, and submarginal areas are brown\-black. A dark, bold spot is visible at the end of the cell. The cilia shift from grey to dark brown proximally.
The ventral surface also resembles that of the males, though the postdiscal spots are more often present and visible, along with a broader marginal line. The fringe is greyish brown on the underside, lightening distally, sometimes displaying a checkered patern with white near the base.
#### Hindwing
The hindwing is tailless, with mauve base to submarinal areas. Coloration varies among specimens, as in some, the mauve color extends into the submarginal regions forming a band interrupted by veins, and the intensity of blue is also variable. A faint mark is present at the end of the cell and a black spot is near the end of the wing near the margin. Sometimes few orange scales are present on the inner edge of the spot. The costal area and termen are dark brown, and lower basal areas are lighter. The cilia are colored beige outwards and black inwards.
The underside is similar to that of males, but with more prominent markings, including a partially black discal spot in some butterflies. The black spots on the underside are larger, especially the ones near the base of the wing. There is also an inner whitish submarginal line that extends to the discal area in some specimens. The cilia near the basal angle are proximally white.

"The dorsal surface if the [forewings](/wiki/Forewings \"Forewings\") features a purple sheen on a cinnamon base, and blackish tones near the base. The end of the cell and veins are darker with a dark marginal region, and the [cilia](/wiki/Cilium \"Cilium\") darken [proximally](/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_location \"Anatomical terms of location\"). The ventral surface lightens towards the inner margin, with a golden\\-brown mark at the end of the cell.",
"Some specimens feature post\\-discal spots, which are variable in number and often absent. When present, these spots seem to be darker and surrounded by a paler halo. There are two lines running down the wings: a dark submarginal line that runs down and is interrupted at the veins, getting dislodged towards the base; and a paler line interrupted at the wings, down its [termen](/wiki/Glossary_of_entomology_terms \"Glossary of entomology terms\"). The margin is golden\\-brown with bronze cilia and a darker central portion.",
"#### Hindwing",
"The [hindwing](/wiki/Hindwing \"Hindwing\") is similar in coloration to the forewing and is tailless. A faint black spot with a slight orange inner ring is located near the margin. There is a light mark at the end of the cell, sometimes surrounded by orange scales. The coastal area and termen are darker, gradually lightening towards the base. The fringe along the edge is beige distally, transitioning to brownish\\-black proximally.",
"There is an arc of spots on discal region, the visibility and presence of which varies among species. These are black spots are outlined with white rings on the inner and outer margins, except two which contain white rings on the outer margin only. These spots appear isolated and are located closer to the base of the wings. A scaled, longitudinal\\-striped border marks the [discocellular](/wiki/Glossary_of_entomology_terms \"Glossary of entomology terms\") area.",
"In some specimens, three subbasal black spots with pale scales are present. There are also two submarginal lines, interrupted at the veins. However, these lines are not consistend among specimens and may be replaced by black spots, lined with orange and bluish scales. A pale line runs along the termen.",
""

### Female
The coloration and markings of the head region and thorax in females, is similar to the males. However, the thorax features more light blue scales as compared.
The femora are beige above and laterally, while the tibiae and tarsi are black\-beige on the outer lateral edge. All legs are white on the underside (with some black scales on the tarsi) The femur\-tibia follow size ratios of:
* Foreleg: 1\.3:1
* Midleg: 1\.6:1
* Hindleg: 1\.1:1
The abdomen is grey\-brown above, becoming creamy to white below. The base of each segment is light in color, containing some purple and light blue scales on the dorsal surface.
#### Forewing
The upper side is [mauve](/wiki/Mauve "Mauve") in color, darkening towards base, and extending towards the inner\-marginal area. The costal, marginal, and submarginal areas are brown\-black. A dark, bold spot is visible at the end of the cell. The cilia shift from grey to dark brown proximally.
The ventral surface also resembles that of the males, though the postdiscal spots are more often present and visible, along with a broader marginal line. The fringe is greyish brown on the underside, lightening distally, sometimes displaying a checkered patern with white near the base.
#### Hindwing
The hindwing is tailless, with mauve base to submarinal areas. Coloration varies among specimens, as in some, the mauve color extends into the submarginal regions forming a band interrupted by veins, and the intensity of blue is also variable. A faint mark is present at the end of the cell and a black spot is near the end of the wing near the margin. Sometimes few orange scales are present on the inner edge of the spot. The costal area and termen are dark brown, and lower basal areas are lighter. The cilia are colored beige outwards and black inwards.
The underside is similar to that of males, but with more prominent markings, including a partially black discal spot in some butterflies. The black spots on the underside are larger, especially the ones near the base of the wing. There is also an inner whitish submarginal line that extends to the discal area in some specimens. The cilia near the basal angle are proximally white.

Gameplay
--------
*Pitter Patter Pop* was a [single\-player](/wiki/Single-player "Single-player") 2D [tile\-matching video game](/wiki/Tile-matching_video_game "Tile-matching video game") based on [the anime adaptation](/wiki/JoJo%27s_Bizarre_Adventure_%28TV_series%29 "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (TV series)") of the *[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure](/wiki/JoJo%27s_Bizarre_Adventure "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure")* manga series, encompassing the first five parts of the series' story: *[Phantom Blood](/wiki/Phantom_Blood "Phantom Blood")*, *[Battle Tendency](/wiki/Battle_Tendency "Battle Tendency")*, *[Stardust Crusaders](/wiki/Stardust_Crusaders "Stardust Crusaders")*, *[Diamond Is Unbreakable](/wiki/Diamond_Is_Unbreakable "Diamond Is Unbreakable")*, and *[Golden Wind](/wiki/Golden_Wind_%28manga%29 "Golden Wind (manga)")*{{Cite web \|title\=【配信開始】ちっちゃな『ジョジョ』キャラの愛くるしさ満点!パズルでバトル『ジョジョのピタパタポップ』 {{!}} スマホゲーム情報ならファミ通App \|url\=https://app.famitsu.com/20181010\_1363391/ \|access\-date\=April 22, 2022 \|website\=ファミ通App \|language\=ja}} as well as the [OVA adaptation](/wiki/Thus_Spoke_Kishibe_Rohan%23Original_video_animation "Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan#Original video animation") of the spin\-off manga [Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan](/wiki/Thus_Spoke_Kishibe_Rohan "Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan").{{Cite web \|title\=【ジョジョピタ】『ザ・ラン』コラボイベント開催!限定ver露伴が出現するオラオラガシャも!30連ガシャ結果は!? \|url\=https://yoshinoso.com/articles/jjpp\-0052 \|access\-date\=April 22, 2022 \|website\=よしのそう \|date\=February 29, 2020 \|language\=ja}}
### Battles
[thumb\|A standard fight between the player ([Giorno Giovanna](/wiki/Giorno_Giovanna "Giorno Giovanna") and [Guido Mista](/wiki/Guido_Mista "Guido Mista"), left) and an enemy (Ghiaccio, right)](/wiki/File:Pitter_Patter_Pop_battle.jpeg "Pitter Patter Pop battle.jpeg")
The player would set up teams of two units who would then do battle with another character from the series either until the player defeated the enemy or the timer for the match ran out. In battle a 6x6 grid would appear with six different types of tiles appearing (four of which were random tiles with the other two being the player's chosen party). The player's main objective was to match four or more tiles together which would then deal damage to the opponent. The more tiles the player matched together, the more damage would be dealt.{{Cite web \|date\=October 10, 2018 \|title\=\[Qoo News] JoJo's Pitter\-Patter Pop Full Version Available for Download \- QooApp: Anime Games Platform \|url\=https://news.qoo\-app.com/en/post/33388/qoo\-news\-jojos\-pitter\-patter\-pop\-full\-version\-available\-download \|access\-date\=May 13, 2022 \|language\=en\-US}} Matching six or more tiles together would form a 'box' which could be tapped to create a cross shape of five of the same tile. As tiles were matched both units' 'skill gauges' would be filled up. By tapping on a unit with a full skill gauge a short cutscene would play and the unit's skill would be activated. Skills ranged from swapping out or erasing tiles to more complex abilities such as stopping the timer or combinations of two different skills. As the player matched tiles the *Stand Up gauge* would also fill up, which when full would stop the timer and enter **Stand Up Time**. In **Stand Up Time** the player was able to combine tiles without them disappearing. This allowed for the creation of larger square tiles which dealt damage exponentially greater the larger the square. Skills could be activated during **Stand Up Time** allowing the player to strategize to increase their chances of creating larger squares.{{Cite web \|last\=SL \|first\=Uptodown Technologies \|title\=Jojo's Pitter\-Patter Pop (Android) \|url\=https://jojo\-s\-pitter\-patter\-pop.en.uptodown.com/android \|access\-date\=May 13, 2022 \|website\=Uptodown.com \|language\=en}} Players could also rack up a **combo** by matching tiles quickly. These combos would greatly increase the players damage output as they grew. Players could not lose their combo during Stand Up Time.
Partaking in a battle cost one 'heart' out of a maximum of five hearts. If the player ran out of hearts they could either wait for their hearts to recharge, use diamonds to recharge their meter or use hearts they had earned as rewards from battles or daily rewards.
After winning a standard match, the player would be awarded coins based on their performance, [experience points](/wiki/Experience_point "Experience point") and diamonds for their first clear of a stage.
If the player managed to complete the stage with at least three quarters left on the timer then they would enter **Rush Time** which allowed for the player to gain more coins by matching tiles. The player would then progress through to the next stage and this would repeat until the final 'Boss Stage' where the player would face off against a more powerful and usually thematic character who would provide much more coins and diamonds than usual upon their defeat as well as another reward such as other forms of currency such as furniture tickets or thematic furniture.
### Special Battles
#### Score Attack
**Score Attack** was a special type of battle in which the opponent had no health bar, instead being replaced by a score counter. As the player dealt damage to the opponent their score would fill up. Units in this mode had a limited amount of times they could use their skill. This would continue until the timer ran out after which the players final score would be added to a global leaderboard. Each month a new Score Attack would appear with the top placers on the previous leaderboard being greatly rewarded with **coins, diamonds** and **chests**. Score Attack did not require hearts to partake.
#### Bingo Cards
**Bingo Cards** were another special type of battle where the opponent had a score counter. In battle the player would have to perform special tasks (Using a certain colour of unit, using a unit from a specific part, creating squares of a specific size in Stand Up, etc.) to stamp their bingo card. If a line was made then the player would be rewarded with coins, diamonds etc.
#### All Out War
In **All Out War** the player would have to defeat the same enemy without using the same unit twice 51 times. As they progressed through the 51 battles the player would be rewarded with coins, diamonds and even gacha tickets.
#### Tower Battle
**Tower Battles** were a series of especially difficult battles which required **Tower Keys** to partake in. These Tower Keys could be unlocked by playing regular battles. As the player went through each tower they would earn challenge points, which could be used to unlock special stickers.
### Gacha
There were multiple kinds of Gacha that change depending on its contents. The types are mostly dictated by the kind of units present on the banner, if it distributes rewards on tenfolds and how it functions.
* **Premium Gacha** \- All featured units are not limited with no additional rewards on a tenfold.
* **Super Rate Up Premium Gacha** \- A Premium Gacha with very high rates for the featured unit.
* **Ora Ora Gacha** \- At least one of the featured units is limited, includes additional rewards on a tenfold.
* **W Ora Ora Gacha** \- At least one of the featured units is a 'WGR' unit. Sometimes includes tenfold stamp rewards.
* **Super Ora Ora Gacha** \- At least one of the featured units is limited, includes additional rewards on a tenfold.
* **Step Up Gacha** \- A Gacha with five steps and no limited featured units, which has different diamond cost each step. The steps also have additional bonuses, like a guaranteed GR on step three. On the fifth step the player is guaranteed to receive one of the featured units on the last draw of the tenfold.
* **Mini Step Up Gacha** \- A Gacha with three steps, which functions the same as a normal Step Up Gacha with fewer steps.
* **Special Step Up Gacha** \- A Step Up Gacha with at least one limited featured unit. It was functionally identical to a **Step Up Gacha**.
Through gameplay or from daily rewards the player could earn 'Gacha Tickets' which could be used to freely pull on any Gacha.
### JoJo Mansion
[thumb\|left\|A 3\-storey JoJo Mansion](/wiki/File:Jojo_Mansion.jpeg "Jojo Mansion.jpeg")
The second main aspect of gameplay was the 'JoJo Mansion', a building with eight rooms capable of holding up to two units each. As the player leveled up more storeys would become available up to a maximum of three storeys for a total of 24 rooms. By using furniture tickets unlocked from battles players could purchase furniture to decorate each room. Players could assign a unit to each room (two if the first unit was Skill Level 5\). While in the room units could be interacted with in a number of different ways.{{Cite web \|date\=October 10, 2018 \|title\=\[Qoo News] JoJo's Pitter\-Patter Pop Full Version Available for Download \- QooApp: Anime Games Platform \|url\=https://news.qoo\-app.com/en/post/33388/qoo\-news\-jojos\-pitter\-patter\-pop\-full\-version\-available\-download \|access\-date\=May 13, 2022 \|language\=en\-US}} Players could give their units gifts which would increase a friendship meter. Gifts came in three different levels each giving more 'friendship points' than the last. Each unit also had a preferred gift which would greatly increase their friendship meter. On occasion, units could 'visit' another room, this would earn the player a small number of experience points.
In the 2\.7\.0 patch **Villas** were added which allowed the player to add up to six units to a single "Premium Room" which could be decorated with "Premium Furniture".
In the 3\.1\.0 patch a new feature was added to the Mansion. On the roof of the JoJo Mansion players could throw a 'party' where the player could choose certain units to have an increased exp gain as well as a higher chance to appear as the random four units at the beginning of each battle.
### Units
#### Unit Types
Upon release there were three different rarities of unit: Bronze Rarity (**BR**), Silver Rarity (**SR**) and Gold Rarity (**GR**) with BR being the most common and weakest up to GR being the strongest and rarest. In the 3\.0\.0 patch a new rarity was added, Double Gold Rarity (**WGR**), which was a combination of two characters in one unit. Beyond these rankings there also existed 'voiced' units who would say voicelines during gameplay, these voicelines being taken directly from the [anime](/wiki/JoJo%27s_Bizarre_Adventure_%28TV_series%29 "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (TV series)"). All 'voiced' units were either GR or WGR rarity. Every BR and SR rarity unit was available in any Gacha but GRs and WGRs could be 'limited' meaning they could only appear in certain Gachas (generally being the featured unit). Characters could have more than one unit, generally a voiced and non\-voiced version or to show appearances throughout different parts. For example [Jotaro Kujo](/wiki/Jotaro_Kujo "Jotaro Kujo"), the main protagonist of Stardust Crusaders, had seven different units based on him. Each unit was assigned a specific colour tile, generally corresponding to the colour mainly featured in their colour pallet. Two of the same character could not be on the same team.
#### Skills
Each unit had a unique skill which would generally be inspired by the character's abilities from the manga. Skills had five different levels of upgrading, each level increasing either the power, usefulness or duration of the skill. Skills could be upgraded either by pulling the same unit twice or from 'Skill Tickets' which could be earned through rewards from gameplay or by pulling a unit who was already Skill Level 5\. There were three main types of skill; "Replace",{{efn\|Japanese: {{nihongo\|''Henka''\|変化}}}} "Enhance"{{efn\|Japanese: {{nihongo\|''Kyōka''\|強化}}}} and "Erase"{{efn\|Japanese: {{nihongo\|''Shōkyo''\|消去}}}} as well as a fourth special type called "?". "Replace" skills replace tiles in a given shape or in a set pattern with the skill users tile or box, enhance skills would enhance tiles into 'Enhanced' or 'Intensified' tiles or boxes and erase skills would erase tiles in a set pattern. "?" skills were generally reserved for more unique skills such as stopping time.
#### Levels
When a new unit was unlocked it would begin at level 1 and could be leveled up either through experience points or from "Level Tickets". For every five levels the player would have to spend an increasing number of coins to 'uncap' the units level. The maximum level for units was 50 until the 3\.0\.0 patch when a new feature called "Awakening" was released. Through Awakening a player could use unit specific "Jewels" (unlocked by pulling the same unit more than once) to uncap a unit's level three times to a maximum level of 80\. Doing so would also unlock a unit specific "EX Sticker".
#### Stickers
Stickers were a form of power\-up added in the 2\.7\.2 patch. Stickers came in two forms, decoration stickers and battle stickers. These could be earned either by purchasing them with sticker ink or from event battles. In the 3\.0\.0 patch another form of stickers called "EX Stickers" were added which were unlocked when the player had fully awakened a unit. When a player had created a team of units they could create a "Pitter Set" which acted like a [Sticker album](/wiki/Sticker_album "Sticker album"). In it players could place stickers they had earned to either decorate their stickerbook or to power\-up their units. Stickers each had their own abilities such as increasing the power of all units of a specific colour, increasing damage in **Stand Up Time**, etc. Some stickers had passive effects while others (especially EX Stickers) had specific activation conditions.
### Chests
Chests were another type of gacha which could contain any number of rewards such as currency or tickets. Chests came in five different types, Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum, each one of increasing rarity and better prizes. Chests could be earned in a number of different ways such as completing certain conditions in battles, performing well in Score Attack or daily rewards.
### Adventures
Adventures were added to the game in the 2\.5\.3 patch. Players could choose a group of five units to go on "adventures" which could last from two to ten hours depending on the rewards. The most common rewards from Adventures were gifts, coins, and Level Tickets, with diamonds being a rare reward also. Certain event Adventures could also reward the player with chests.

"### Battles",
"[thumb\\|A standard fight between the player ([Giorno Giovanna](/wiki/Giorno_Giovanna \"Giorno Giovanna\") and [Guido Mista](/wiki/Guido_Mista \"Guido Mista\"), left) and an enemy (Ghiaccio, right)](/wiki/File:Pitter_Patter_Pop_battle.jpeg \"Pitter Patter Pop battle.jpeg\")\nThe player would set up teams of two units who would then do battle with another character from the series either until the player defeated the enemy or the timer for the match ran out. In battle a 6x6 grid would appear with six different types of tiles appearing (four of which were random tiles with the other two being the player's chosen party). The player's main objective was to match four or more tiles together which would then deal damage to the opponent. The more tiles the player matched together, the more damage would be dealt.{{Cite web \\|date\\=October 10, 2018 \\|title\\=\\[Qoo News] JoJo's Pitter\\-Patter Pop Full Version Available for Download \\- QooApp: Anime Games Platform \\|url\\=https://news.qoo\\-app.com/en/post/33388/qoo\\-news\\-jojos\\-pitter\\-patter\\-pop\\-full\\-version\\-available\\-download \\|access\\-date\\=May 13, 2022 \\|language\\=en\\-US}} Matching six or more tiles together would form a 'box' which could be tapped to create a cross shape of five of the same tile. As tiles were matched both units' 'skill gauges' would be filled up. By tapping on a unit with a full skill gauge a short cutscene would play and the unit's skill would be activated. Skills ranged from swapping out or erasing tiles to more complex abilities such as stopping the timer or combinations of two different skills. As the player matched tiles the *Stand Up gauge* would also fill up, which when full would stop the timer and enter **Stand Up Time**. In **Stand Up Time** the player was able to combine tiles without them disappearing. This allowed for the creation of larger square tiles which dealt damage exponentially greater the larger the square. Skills could be activated during **Stand Up Time** allowing the player to strategize to increase their chances of creating larger squares.{{Cite web \\|last\\=SL \\|first\\=Uptodown Technologies \\|title\\=Jojo's Pitter\\-Patter Pop (Android) \\|url\\=https://jojo\\-s\\-pitter\\-patter\\-pop.en.uptodown.com/android \\|access\\-date\\=May 13, 2022 \\|website\\=Uptodown.com \\|language\\=en}} Players could also rack up a **combo** by matching tiles quickly. These combos would greatly increase the players damage output as they grew. Players could not lose their combo during Stand Up Time.",
"Partaking in a battle cost one 'heart' out of a maximum of five hearts. If the player ran out of hearts they could either wait for their hearts to recharge, use diamonds to recharge their meter or use hearts they had earned as rewards from battles or daily rewards.",
"After winning a standard match, the player would be awarded coins based on their performance, [experience points](/wiki/Experience_point \"Experience point\") and diamonds for their first clear of a stage. \nIf the player managed to complete the stage with at least three quarters left on the timer then they would enter **Rush Time** which allowed for the player to gain more coins by matching tiles. The player would then progress through to the next stage and this would repeat until the final 'Boss Stage' where the player would face off against a more powerful and usually thematic character who would provide much more coins and diamonds than usual upon their defeat as well as another reward such as other forms of currency such as furniture tickets or thematic furniture.",
"### Special Battles",
"#### Score Attack",
"**Score Attack** was a special type of battle in which the opponent had no health bar, instead being replaced by a score counter. As the player dealt damage to the opponent their score would fill up. Units in this mode had a limited amount of times they could use their skill. This would continue until the timer ran out after which the players final score would be added to a global leaderboard. Each month a new Score Attack would appear with the top placers on the previous leaderboard being greatly rewarded with **coins, diamonds** and **chests**. Score Attack did not require hearts to partake.",
"#### Bingo Cards",
"**Bingo Cards** were another special type of battle where the opponent had a score counter. In battle the player would have to perform special tasks (Using a certain colour of unit, using a unit from a specific part, creating squares of a specific size in Stand Up, etc.) to stamp their bingo card. If a line was made then the player would be rewarded with coins, diamonds etc.",
"#### All Out War",
"In **All Out War** the player would have to defeat the same enemy without using the same unit twice 51 times. As they progressed through the 51 battles the player would be rewarded with coins, diamonds and even gacha tickets.",
"#### Tower Battle",
"**Tower Battles** were a series of especially difficult battles which required **Tower Keys** to partake in. These Tower Keys could be unlocked by playing regular battles. As the player went through each tower they would earn challenge points, which could be used to unlock special stickers.",
"### Gacha",
"There were multiple kinds of Gacha that change depending on its contents. The types are mostly dictated by the kind of units present on the banner, if it distributes rewards on tenfolds and how it functions.",
"* **Premium Gacha** \\- All featured units are not limited with no additional rewards on a tenfold.\n* **Super Rate Up Premium Gacha** \\- A Premium Gacha with very high rates for the featured unit.\n* **Ora Ora Gacha** \\- At least one of the featured units is limited, includes additional rewards on a tenfold.\n* **W Ora Ora Gacha** \\- At least one of the featured units is a 'WGR' unit. Sometimes includes tenfold stamp rewards.\n* **Super Ora Ora Gacha** \\- At least one of the featured units is limited, includes additional rewards on a tenfold.\n* **Step Up Gacha** \\- A Gacha with five steps and no limited featured units, which has different diamond cost each step. The steps also have additional bonuses, like a guaranteed GR on step three. On the fifth step the player is guaranteed to receive one of the featured units on the last draw of the tenfold.\n* **Mini Step Up Gacha** \\- A Gacha with three steps, which functions the same as a normal Step Up Gacha with fewer steps.\n* **Special Step Up Gacha** \\- A Step Up Gacha with at least one limited featured unit. It was functionally identical to a **Step Up Gacha**.",
"Through gameplay or from daily rewards the player could earn 'Gacha Tickets' which could be used to freely pull on any Gacha.",
"### JoJo Mansion",
"[thumb\\|left\\|A 3\\-storey JoJo Mansion](/wiki/File:Jojo_Mansion.jpeg \"Jojo Mansion.jpeg\")\nThe second main aspect of gameplay was the 'JoJo Mansion', a building with eight rooms capable of holding up to two units each. As the player leveled up more storeys would become available up to a maximum of three storeys for a total of 24 rooms. By using furniture tickets unlocked from battles players could purchase furniture to decorate each room. Players could assign a unit to each room (two if the first unit was Skill Level 5\\). While in the room units could be interacted with in a number of different ways.{{Cite web \\|date\\=October 10, 2018 \\|title\\=\\[Qoo News] JoJo's Pitter\\-Patter Pop Full Version Available for Download \\- QooApp: Anime Games Platform \\|url\\=https://news.qoo\\-app.com/en/post/33388/qoo\\-news\\-jojos\\-pitter\\-patter\\-pop\\-full\\-version\\-available\\-download \\|access\\-date\\=May 13, 2022 \\|language\\=en\\-US}} Players could give their units gifts which would increase a friendship meter. Gifts came in three different levels each giving more 'friendship points' than the last. Each unit also had a preferred gift which would greatly increase their friendship meter. On occasion, units could 'visit' another room, this would earn the player a small number of experience points.",
"In the 2\\.7\\.0 patch **Villas** were added which allowed the player to add up to six units to a single \"Premium Room\" which could be decorated with \"Premium Furniture\".",
"In the 3\\.1\\.0 patch a new feature was added to the Mansion. On the roof of the JoJo Mansion players could throw a 'party' where the player could choose certain units to have an increased exp gain as well as a higher chance to appear as the random four units at the beginning of each battle.",
"### Units",
"#### Unit Types",
"Upon release there were three different rarities of unit: Bronze Rarity (**BR**), Silver Rarity (**SR**) and Gold Rarity (**GR**) with BR being the most common and weakest up to GR being the strongest and rarest. In the 3\\.0\\.0 patch a new rarity was added, Double Gold Rarity (**WGR**), which was a combination of two characters in one unit. Beyond these rankings there also existed 'voiced' units who would say voicelines during gameplay, these voicelines being taken directly from the [anime](/wiki/JoJo%27s_Bizarre_Adventure_%28TV_series%29 \"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (TV series)\"). All 'voiced' units were either GR or WGR rarity. Every BR and SR rarity unit was available in any Gacha but GRs and WGRs could be 'limited' meaning they could only appear in certain Gachas (generally being the featured unit).

Sarcophagi
----------
{{Main\|Ancient Roman sarcophagi}}
*"...a stone monument is an expression of permanence. It is no surprise, therefore, that the Roman obsession with personal immortality acquired its physical form in stone."*{{harvp\|Elsner\|Huskinson\|Russell\|2010\|p\=119}}
Sarcophagi were used in Roman funerary art beginning in the second century AD, and continuing until the fourth century. A sarcophagus, which means "flesh\-eater" in Greek, is a stone coffin used for inhumation burials.{{harvp\|Awan\|2007}} Sarcophagi were commissioned not only for the elite of Roman society (mature male citizens),{{harvp\|Elsner\|Huskinson\|Davies\|2010\|p\=47}} but also for children, entire families, and beloved wives and mothers. The most expensive sarcophagi were made from marble, but other stones, lead, and wood were used as well. Along with the range in production material, there existed a variety of styles and shapes, depending on where the sarcophagus was produced and whom it was produced for.
### Before sarcophagi
Inhumation burial practices and the use of sarcophagi were not always the favored Roman funerary custom. The [Etruscans](/wiki/Etruscan_civilization "Etruscan civilization") and Greeks used sarcophagi for centuries before the Romans finally adopted the practice in the second century. Prior to that period, the dead were usually cremated and placed in marble ash chests or ash altars, or were simply commemorated with a grave altar that was not designed to hold cremated remains. Despite being the main funerary custom during the Roman Republic, ash chests and grave altars virtually disappeared from the market only a century after the advent of the sarcophagus.{{harvp\|Elsner\|Huskinson\|Davies\|2010\|pp\=21–22}}
It is often assumed that the popularity for sarcophagi began with the Roman aristocracy and gradually became more accepted by the lower classes. However, in the past, the most expensive and ostentatious grave altars and ash chests were commissioned more frequently by wealthy freedmen and other members of the emerging middle class than by the Roman elite.{{harvp\|Elsner\|Huskinson\|Davies\|2010\|p\=45}} Due to this fact and the lack of inscriptions on early sarcophagi, there is not enough evidence to make a judgment on whether or not the fashion for sarcophagi began with a specific social class. Surviving evidence does indicate that a great majority of early sarcophagi were used for children. This suggests that the change in burial practice may not have simply stemmed from a change in fashion, but perhaps from altered burial attitudes. It is possible that the decision to begin inhuming bodies occurred because families believed that inhumation was a kinder, and less disturbing burial rite than cremation, thus necessitating a shift in burial monument.
### Stylistic transition from altars and ash chests to sarcophagi
Although grave altars and ash chests virtually disappeared from the market in the second century, aspects of their decoration endured in some stylistic elements of sarcophagi. The largest stylistic group of early sarcophagi in the second century is garland sarcophagi, a custom of decoration that was previously used on ash chests and grave altars. Though the premise of the decoration is the same, there are some differences. The garland supports are often human figures instead of the animal heads used previously. In addition, specific mythological scenes fill the field, rather than small birds or other minor scenes. The inscription panel on garland ash altars and chests is also missing on garland sarcophagi. When a sarcophagus did have an inscription, it seemed to be an extra addition and usually ran along the top edge of the chest or between the decorations.{{harvp\|Elsner\|Huskinson\|Davies\|2010\|p\=40}} The fact that early garland sarcophagi continued the tradition of grave altars with decorated garlands suggests that the customers and sculptors of sarcophagi had similar approaches to those who purchased and produced grave altars. Both monuments employed a similar collection of stylistic motifs with only subtle shifts in iconography.{{harvp\|Elsner\|Huskinson\|Davies\|2010\|pp\=44–45}}
### Metropolitan Roman, Attic, and Asiatic sarcophagus production centers
[thumbnail\|The Sarcophagus with the Triumph of Dionysus is a good example of a Metropolitan Roman style sarcophagus with its flat lid, three\-sided decoration, and Dionysian scenes from Greek mythology.](/wiki/File:Roman_-_Sarcophagus_with_the_Triumph_of_Dionysus_-_Walters_2331.jpg "Roman - Sarcophagus with the Triumph of Dionysus - Walters 2331.jpg")
Sarcophagi production of the Ancient Roman Empire involved three main parties: the customer, the sculpting workshop that carved the monument, and the quarry\-based workshop that supplied the materials. The distance between these parties was highly variable due to the extensive size of the Empire.{{harvp\|Elsner\|Huskinson\|Russell\|2010\|pp\=123–124}} Metropolitan Roman, Attic, and Asiatic were the three major regional types of sarcophagi that dominated trade throughout the Roman Empire. Although they were divided into regions, the production of sarcophagi was not as simple as it might appear. For example, Attic workshops were close to [Mount Pentelikon](/wiki/Mount_Pentelikon "Mount Pentelikon"), the source of their materials, but were usually very far from their client. The opposite was true for the workshops of Metropolitan Rome, which tended to import large, roughed out sarcophagi from distant quarries in order to complete their commissions. Depending on distance and customer request (some customers might choose to have elements of their sarcophagi left unfinished until a future date, introducing the possibility of further work after the main commission), sarcophagi were in many different stages of production during transport. As a result, it is difficult to develop a standardized model of production.{{harvp\|Elsner\|Huskinson\|Russell\|2010\|pp\=125–126}}
#### Battle sarcophagi
A relatively small number, about 25, of sarcophagi feature large and crowded battle scenes. Most apparently date to 170–210, made in Rome or in some cases Athen. The [Ludovisi Battle sarcophagus](/wiki/Ludovisi_Battle_sarcophagus "Ludovisi Battle sarcophagus") of about 250\-260 is a late outlier, with the Roman commander presumed to be the deceased. In the similar [Portonaccio sarcophagus](/wiki/Portonaccio_sarcophagus "Portonaccio sarcophagus") (c. 170\) the face of the Roman general is unfinished; perhaps a portrait was awaited.
#### Metropolitan Rome
Rome was the primary production center in the western part of the empire. A Metropolitan Roman sarcophagus often took the shape of a low rectangular box with a flat lid. As the sarcophagus was usually placed in a niche or against a wall in a mausoleum, they were usually only decorated on the front and two shorter sides. Many were decorated with carvings of garlands and fruits and leaves, as well as narrative scenes from Greek mythology. Battle and hunting scenes, biographical events from the life of the deceased, portrait busts, the profession of the deceased and abstract designs were also popular.
#### Attic
Athens was the main production center for Attic style sarcophagi. These workshops mainly produced sarcophagi for export. They were rectangular in shape and were often decorated on all four sides, unlike the Metropolitan Roman style, with ornamental carvings along the bottom and upper edge of the monument. The lids were also different from the flat metropolitan Roman style and featured a pitched gable roof, or a kline lid, which is carved in the style of couch cushions on which the form of the deceased reclines.{{harvp\|Strong\|Toynbee\|1995\|p\=192}} The great majority of these sarcophagi also featured mythological subjects, especially the [Trojan War](/wiki/Trojan_War "Trojan War"), Achilles, and battles with the [Amazons](/wiki/Amazons "Amazons").
#### Asia Minor (Asiatic)
[thumb\|Asiatic garland sarcophagus (150–180 CE) made from Dokimeion marble, likely sculpted in Phrygia and then shipped to Rome, with a gable\-roof lid and unfinished portions](/wiki/File:Roman_-_Garland_Sarcophagus_-_Walters_2329.jpg "Roman - Garland Sarcophagus - Walters 2329.jpg")
The [Dokimeion](/wiki/Dokimeion "Dokimeion") workshops in [Phrygia](/wiki/Phrygia "Phrygia") specialized in architecturally formed large\-scale Asiatic sarcophagi. Many featured a series of columns joined together by an entablature on all four sides with human figures in the area between the columns. The lids were often made in the gabled\-roof design in order to complete the architectural\-style sarcophagi so the coffin formed a sort of house or temple for the deceased. Other cities in Asia Minor produced sarcophagi of the garland tradition as well. In general, the sarcophagi were decorated on either three or four sides, depending on whether they were to be displayed on a pedestal in an open\-air setting or against the walls inside tombs.
### Myth and meaning on Ancient Roman sarcophagi
A transition from the classical garland and seasonal reliefs with smaller mythological figures to a greater focus on full mythological scenes began with the break up of the classical style in the late second century towards the end of [Marcus Aurelius](/wiki/Marcus_Aurelius "Marcus Aurelius")' reign.{{harvp\|Zanker\|Ewald\|2012\|p\=249}} This shift led to the development of popular themes and meanings portrayed through mythological scenes and allegories. The most popular mythological scenes on Roman sarcophagi functioned as aids to mourning, visions of life and happiness, and opportunities for self\-portrayal for Roman citizens. Images of [Meleager](/wiki/Meleager "Meleager"), the host of the [Calydonian Boar](/wiki/Calydonian_Boar "Calydonian Boar") hunt, being mourned by Atalanta, as well as images of [Achilles](/wiki/Achilles "Achilles") mourning [Patroclus](/wiki/Patroclus "Patroclus") were very common on sarcophagi that acted as grieving aids. In both cases, the mythological scenes were akin to mourning practices of ordinary Roman citizens in an effort to reflect their grief and comfort them when they visited the tomb.{{harvp\|Zanker\|Ewald\|2012\|pp\=62–66}} Playful images depicting [Nereids](/wiki/Nereid "Nereid"), Dionysiac triumphs, and love scenes of [Dionysus](/wiki/Dionysus "Dionysus") and [Ariadne](/wiki/Ariadne "Ariadne") were also commonly represented on sarcophagi.{{harvp\|Zanker\|Ewald\|2012\|pp\=128–132}} It is possible that these scenes of happiness and love in the face of death and mourning encouraged the living to enjoy life while they could, and reflected the celebration and meals that the mourners would later enjoy in the tomb when they returned to visit the deceased.{{harvp\|Zanker\|Ewald\|2012\|pp\=169–170}}
The third century involved the return in popularity of self\-representation on Roman sarcophagi. There were several different ways Roman citizens approached self\-representation on sarcophagi. Some sarcophagi had actual representations of the face or full figure of the deceased. In other cases, mythological portraits were used to connect characteristics of the deceased with traits of the hero or heroine portrayed. For example, common mythological portraits of deceased women identified them with women of lauded traits in myth, such as the devoted [Selene](/wiki/Selene "Selene") or loyal [Alcestis](/wiki/Alcestis "Alcestis").{{harvp\|Zanker\|Ewald\|2012\|pp\=199–206}}
Scenes featuring the figures of Meleager and Achilles expressed bravery and were often produced on sarcophagi holding deceased men. Biographical scenes that emphasize the true virtues of Roman citizens were also used to commemorate the deceased. Scholars argue that these biographical scenes as well as the comparisons to mythological characters suggest that self\-portrayal on Roman sarcophagi did not exist to celebrate the traits of the deceased, but rather to emphasize favored Roman cultural values{{harvp\|Zanker\|Ewald\|2012\|p\=199}} and demonstrate that the family of the deceased were educated members of the elite that could understand difficult mythological allegories.{{harvp\|Zanker\|Ewald\|2012\|p\=30}}
### Third\- and fourth\-century sarcophagi
The breakup of the classical style led to a period in which full mythological reliefs with an increase in the number of figures and an elongation of forms became more popular, as discussed above. The proportion of figures on the reliefs also became increasingly unbalanced, with the main figures taking up the greatest area with smaller figures crowded in the small pockets of empty space.{{harvp\|Zanker\|Ewald\|2012\|pp\=249–250}} In the third century, another transition in theme and style of sarcophagi involved the return in popularity of representing mythological and non\-mythological portraits of the deceased.{{harvp\|Zanker\|Ewald\|2012\|p\=252}} Imagery of the four seasons also becomes popular during the third and fourth centuries. With the advent of Christianity in the third century, traditional motifs, like the seasons, remained, and images representing a belief in the afterlife appeared. The change in style brought by Christianity is perhaps most significant, as it signals a change in emphasis on images of retrospection, and introduced images of an afterlife.{{harvp\|Zanker\|Ewald\|2012\|pp\=261–266}} The [Sarcophagus of Junius Bassus](/wiki/Sarcophagus_of_Junius_Bassus "Sarcophagus of Junius Bassus") is an untypically elaborate example, with narrative Christian scenes.

"### Before sarcophagi",
"Inhumation burial practices and the use of sarcophagi were not always the favored Roman funerary custom. The [Etruscans](/wiki/Etruscan_civilization \"Etruscan civilization\") and Greeks used sarcophagi for centuries before the Romans finally adopted the practice in the second century. Prior to that period, the dead were usually cremated and placed in marble ash chests or ash altars, or were simply commemorated with a grave altar that was not designed to hold cremated remains. Despite being the main funerary custom during the Roman Republic, ash chests and grave altars virtually disappeared from the market only a century after the advent of the sarcophagus.{{harvp\\|Elsner\\|Huskinson\\|Davies\\|2010\\|pp\\=21–22}}",
"It is often assumed that the popularity for sarcophagi began with the Roman aristocracy and gradually became more accepted by the lower classes. However, in the past, the most expensive and ostentatious grave altars and ash chests were commissioned more frequently by wealthy freedmen and other members of the emerging middle class than by the Roman elite.{{harvp\\|Elsner\\|Huskinson\\|Davies\\|2010\\|p\\=45}} Due to this fact and the lack of inscriptions on early sarcophagi, there is not enough evidence to make a judgment on whether or not the fashion for sarcophagi began with a specific social class.

This suggests that the change in burial practice may not have simply stemmed from a change in fashion, but perhaps from altered burial attitudes.

Mausolea
--------
{{main\|Mausoleum}}
The mausoleum is so named for [Mausolus](/wiki/Mausolus "Mausolus") of [Caria](/wiki/Caria "Caria") (377–353/2 BC). Mausolea generally had multiple occupants because their space was so vast, although this practise took time to become common in the Early Republic, as did the idea of "burying" the dead above ground. [Mass burials](/wiki/Mass_grave "Mass grave") were common, but only for the common people. Royalty, politicians, generals, and the richest citizens originally would have shared a tomb wonly with immediate family. Changes were gradual largely because [funerary practices](/wiki/Roman_funerary_practices "Roman funerary practices") tended to follow strict traditions, especially in the ancient world.{{harvp\|Colvin\|1991\|p\=16}} It took centuries to develop the "Roman" concept of the mausoleum. Meanwhile, the practise of lavish decoration of burial sites remained throughout the Republic and the Empire. The above ground structures of the Empire and Late Republic contained art suitable for the lives of the occupants as with their underground alternatives.
Few mausolea inside the *pomerium* predate the Empire. Most mausolea existed on designated burial grounds in the country, though city exemptions to the prohibition of mortuary buildings only increased during the Empire. It was also popular to build them along main roads so that they would be consistently visible to the public. A trend of the [Middle and Late Empire](/wiki/History_of_the_Roman_Empire "History of the Roman Empire") was to build mausolea on family property, even if it was within the city limits.{{harvp\|Patterson\|2000\|p\=265}}
### History
The Romans absorbed a great deal of [Etruscan funerary art](/wiki/Funerary_art%23Etruscans "Funerary art#Etruscans") practices. Above ground mausolea were still rare; underground tombs and [tumuli](/wiki/Tumulus "Tumulus") were far more common methods of burial. The [early Romans](/wiki/Roman_Kingdom "Roman Kingdom") buried those who could not afford such accommodations in [mass graves](/wiki/Mass_grave "Mass grave") or [cremated](/wiki/Cremation "Cremation") them. Of the few mausolea that they did build during Rome's infancy, many fell to [ruins](/wiki/Ruins "Ruins") under unknown circumstances. Their absence thus renders little indication of the Romans' mausoleum practices during these years. A notable exception is in Praeneste, or present day [Palestrina](/wiki/Palestrina "Palestrina"), where approximately forty early mausolea remain.{{harvp\|Smith\|2000\|p\=23}}
Etruscan influence continued into the early Republic, and there became more consistency in the styles of mausolea as Roman influence increased throughout the [Latin League](/wiki/Latin_League "Latin League"). Structures from this era are rare, but as with the preceding centuries, most of those that the Romans built at this time no longer exist.
#### Mid Republic
Rome, along with the rest of the Mediterranean world, experienced a resurgence of [Greek culture](/wiki/Ancient_Greece%23Culture "Ancient Greece#Culture"), known as the [Hellenistic period](/wiki/Hellenistic_period "Hellenistic period"). Both the interiors and exteriors of mausolea adopted elements of [Classical architecture](/wiki/Classical_architecture "Classical architecture") such as [barrel vaulted](/wiki/Barrel_vault "Barrel vault") roofs; [klinai](/wiki/Klinai "Klinai"), which were full body benches upon which the dead lay; painted [facades](/wiki/Facade "Facade"); ornate [columns](/wiki/Column%23Classical_orders "Column#Classical orders"); and [friezes](/wiki/Frieze "Frieze") along the roofs. During this era, most Romans acknowledged the idea that above ground burial would allow the public to better remember the deceased. Clearly in accordance with their embrace of tradition and [virtues](/wiki/Virtue%23Roman_Virtues "Virtue#Roman Virtues") of the [mos maiorum](/wiki/Mos_maiorum "Mos maiorum"), Romans began to set aside money to build vast new mausolea for the preservation of their legacies.{{harvp\|Patterson\|2000\|p\=273}} Of course, this trend was gradual, but had gained ground by the [end of the Republic](/wiki/Crisis_of_the_Roman_Republic "Crisis of the Roman Republic").
The [Tomb of the Scipios](/wiki/Tomb_of_the_Scipios "Tomb of the Scipios") is an example of a large underground rock\-cut set of chambers; it was used by the Scipio family from the 3rd to the 1st centuries BC. Although grand it was fairly inconspicuous above ground.
[thumb\|left\|alt\=photo\|The [Harpy Tomb](/wiki/Harpy_Tomb "Harpy Tomb") and the pillared sarcophagus of [Xanthos](/wiki/Xanthos "Xanthos")](/wiki/File:Xanthos_Harpy_tomb_and_the_pillared_sarcophagus_5152.jpg "Xanthos Harpy tomb and the pillared sarcophagus 5152.jpg")
Also present was an influence from the [lands east of Greece](/wiki/Anatolia "Anatolia"). Although the architectural contributions of [Asia Minor](/wiki/Asia_Minor "Asia Minor") were very different from those of the Greeks, Asia Minor had previously opened itself to Hellenic styles earlier in the fourth century BC. The Romans borrowed most of their architecture during these years from the Greeks, so most of the Roman styles similar to those of Asia Minor actually came to Rome via Greece. Of course, the Romans borrowed directly from the Greek style as well. Anatolian mausolea are distinct via their tower designs, a notable example being the [Harpy Tomb](/wiki/Harpy_Tomb "Harpy Tomb"), built circa 480–470 BC.{{harvp\|Colvin\|1991\|p\=21}}
Approaching the Late Republic, the new diversity in design allowed those who could afford it to build larger and more lavish mausolea. Although politicians, particularly [senators](/wiki/Roman_Senate "Roman Senate"), had always used their monuments to proclaim their status, they increasingly saw the grandeur of their mausolea as an additional outlet for expressing political dominance. Around this time, most Romans had accepted the similarities of mausolea and [temples](/wiki/Roman_temple "Roman temple"), although their ancestors had been conscious of this apparent analogue for centuries.
#### Late Republic
During the final two centuries of the Republic, Roman mausolea acquired inspiration from another geographical region: [North Africa](/wiki/History_of_Africa%23Roman_North_Africa "History of Africa#Roman North Africa"). North African architecture itself had succumbed to Greek practices since Greco\-[Phoenician](/wiki/Phoenicia "Phoenicia") [trade settlements](/wiki/Phoenicia%23Trade "Phoenicia#Trade") since the eighth century BC. Again, the Romans embraced the style as they solidified their conquest of North Africa in the second and first centuries BC. By the time of [Augustus](/wiki/Augustus "Augustus"), the influences of Greece, Asia Minor, and Africa combined to make a unique ["Roman" style](/wiki/Ancient_Roman_architecture "Ancient Roman architecture").{{harvp\|Colvin\|1991\|p\=29}}
As the Republic ended, more people continued to get around the rules against city burials.{{harvp\|Patterson\|2000\|p\=266}} One of the last Republican leaders to do so was [Sulla](/wiki/Sulla "Sulla"), who opted to build a mausoleum on the [Campus Martius](/wiki/Campus_Martius "Campus Martius").{{harvp\|Hope\|2007\|p\=137}} Many burial grounds outside of the city became crowded because mausolea had increased in size, ornateness, and quantity since the Hellenistic Era. In the first century BC, some Romans settled for smaller and simpler mausolea in order to just reserve space on a prominent burial ground, such as the [Isola Sacra Necropolis](/wiki/Isola_Sacra_Necropolis "Isola Sacra Necropolis") outside of [Portus](/wiki/Portus "Portus"), where visitors can notice the smaller mausolea desperately filling random space around the more properly distanced larger ones.{{harvp\|Hope\|2007\|p\=134}} [Howard Colvin](/wiki/Howard_Colvin "Howard Colvin") cites the mausolea of the [consul](/wiki/Roman_consul "Roman consul") [Minicius Fundanus](/wiki/List_of_Roman_consuls%231st_century_AD "List of Roman consuls#1st century AD") on [Monte Mario](/wiki/Monte_Mario "Monte Mario") and the [Licinii](/wiki/Licinia_gens "Licinia gens")\-[Calpurnii](/wiki/Calpurnia_gens "Calpurnia gens") on [Via Salaria](/wiki/Via_Salaria "Via Salaria") as examples of more compact structures that came to scatter burial sites.
The [Tomb of Eurysaces the Baker](/wiki/Tomb_of_Eurysaces_the_Baker "Tomb of Eurysaces the Baker") (50–20 BC) is a flamboyant example of a rich [freedman](/wiki/Freedman "Freedman")'s tomb, with reliefs exemplifying an Italic style less influenced by Hellenistic art than official or patrician monuments.
#### Early Empire
[thumb\|The [Pyramid of Cestius](/wiki/Pyramid_of_Cestius "Pyramid of Cestius"), a pyramid shaped tomb in the city of Rome](/wiki/File:Cimeti%C3%A8re_anglais_de_Rome.jpg "Cimetière anglais de Rome.jpg")
The [new government](/wiki/Roman_Empire%23Government_and_military "Roman Empire#Government and military") of Rome brought a new approach to mausolea, politically and socially. The non\-elite became more prominent in the Senate,{{citation needed\|date\=December 2023}} curbing many of the longtime rivalries of the [aristocracy](/wiki/Roman_aristocracy "Roman aristocracy"). Because many of these men were *[homines novi](/wiki/Novus_homo "Novus homo")*, or new men, they had other incentives to assert dominance; Patterson{{clarify\|who he\|date\=December 2023}} observes that their mausolea focused more upon giving prestige to their own name rather than toppling that of someone else. Such an agenda is discernible through the increased interest in building mausolea on family property.{{harvp\|Patterson\|2000\|p\=267}} Many wealthy families owned magnificent estates in the country, where they were free from the burial laws of the city. While the art and design of the structures themselves remained grandiose, builders shifted interest to decorating the land around the mausoleum. Statues, [podia](/wiki/Podium "Podium"), [steles](/wiki/Stele "Stele"), and horti (gardens), gained popularity amongst those who had the space and money to erect mausolea on their own property.{{harvp\|Patterson\|2000\|p\=271}} The [Pyramid of Cestius](/wiki/Pyramid_of_Cestius "Pyramid of Cestius") of about 12 BC remains a rather eccentric Roman landmark; he had perhaps served in [Nubian](/wiki/Nubia "Nubia") campaigns.
With the advent of the Empire there was an increase in the inclusivity of mausolea in two ways. Firstly, the number of occupants of many new mausolea was greater than that of their Republican predecessors, which generally reserved space for nobody other than their immediate family. Many in the Empire who commissioned mausolea in their name also requested room for extended family, [slaves](/wiki/Slavery_in_ancient_Rome "Slavery in ancient Rome"), [freedmen](/wiki/Slavery_in_ancient_Rome%23Freedmen "Slavery in ancient Rome#Freedmen"), [concubines](/wiki/Concubine "Concubine"), [clients](/wiki/Patronage_in_ancient_Rome "Patronage in ancient Rome"), animals, and other intimate acquaintances. Secondly, more people could afford a mausoleum. Aside from those a master invited to his mausoleum, certain freedmen received their own mausolea with financial assistance from their former masters. Some of the freedmen's mausolea are equally as impressive as those of wealthy citizens.{{harvp\|Patterson\|2000\|p\=269}}
#### Late Empire
Around the end of the second century AD Rome reached its maximum territorial extent. The initially slow, but quickly hastening [decline of the Empire](/wiki/Decline_of_the_Roman_Empire "Decline of the Roman Empire") allowed the mausoleum to fall into the hands of Roman constituents and [enemies](/wiki/Barbarian "Barbarian"). Notably, after the [Crisis of the Third Century](/wiki/Crisis_of_the_Third_Century "Crisis of the Third Century"), the revival of the mausoleum during the [Tetrarchy](/wiki/Tetrarchy "Tetrarchy") and beyond spawned interest amongst the [Christian population](/wiki/Religion_in_ancient_Rome%23Christianity_in_the_Roman_Empire "Religion in ancient Rome#Christianity in the Roman Empire"). They began to build mausolea in the same style as the Romans had done for the duration of the Empire, and decorated them with [Christian artwork](/wiki/Christian_art "Christian art"). Mausolea continued to be a prime means of interring multiple individuals in the [Middle Ages](/wiki/Middle_Ages "Middle Ages").{{harvp\|Colvin\|1991\|p\=53}}
The [Mausoleum of Helena](/wiki/Mausoleum_of_Helena "Mausoleum of Helena") in Rome, built by [Constantine I](/wiki/Constantine_I "Constantine I") for himself, but later used for his mother, retains a traditional form, but the church of [Santa Costanza](/wiki/Santa_Costanza "Santa Costanza"), built as a mausoleum for Constantine's daughter, was built over an important catacomb where [Saint Agnes](/wiki/Saint_Agnes "Saint Agnes") was buried, and either was always intended, or soon developed into, a [funerary hall](/wiki/Funerary_hall "Funerary hall") where burial spots could be bought by Christians. Most of the great Christian [basilicas](/wiki/Basilica "Basilica") in Rome passed through a stage as funerary halls, full of sarcophagi and slab memorials, before being turned into more conventional churches in the [Early Middle Ages](/wiki/Early_Middle_Ages "Early Middle Ages").
### Notable Mausolea of Emperors
#### Augustus
{{main\|Mausoleum of Augustus}}
[thumb\|[Mausoleum of Augustus](/wiki/Mausoleum_of_Augustus "Mausoleum of Augustus") restored (2019\)](/wiki/File:Photographs_of_the_Mausoleum_of_Augustus_14_%28cropped%29.jpg "Photographs of the Mausoleum of Augustus 14 (cropped).jpg")
In 28 BC [Augustus](/wiki/Augustus "Augustus") controversially and erected a mausoleum on the [Campus Martius](/wiki/Campus_Martius "Campus Martius"), a previously public space on which building was normally illegal. This challenged his claim to be *[princeps](/wiki/Princeps "Princeps")*, since his enemies found this action to be too ambitious for a regular [citizen](/wiki/Roman_citizenship "Roman citizenship") and thus above the law. Notable features of the mausoleum included a bronze statue of Augustus, [pyres](/wiki/Pyre "Pyre"), and [Egyptian obelisks](/wiki/Obelisk%23Egyptian "Obelisk#Egyptian") among the various usual mortuary ornaments. The mausoleum suffered severe damage in 410 AD during the [Gothic invasion](/wiki/Sack_of_Rome_%28410%29 "Sack of Rome (410)") of Rome.{{harvp\|Colvin\|1991\|p\=43}}
#### Hadrian
{{main\|Mausoleum of Hadrian}}
[thumb\| [Castel Sant'Angelo](/wiki/Castel_Sant%27Angelo "Castel Sant'Angelo"), the Mausoleum of Hadrian; the [Ponte Sant'Angelo](/wiki/Ponte_Sant%27Angelo "Ponte Sant'Angelo") is on the left, also the work of Hadrian.](/wiki/File:Chateau-saint-ange-tibre.jpg "Chateau-saint-ange-tibre.jpg")
[Hadrian](/wiki/Hadrian "Hadrian") had a grand mausoleum, now better known as the [Castel Sant'Angelo](/wiki/Castel_Sant%27Angelo "Castel Sant'Angelo"), built for himself and his family in the [Pons Aelius](/wiki/Pons_Aelius "Pons Aelius") in 120 AD. In addition to its fame as the resting place of the emperor, the construction of the mausoleum is famous in its own right, as it has a particularly complex vertical design. A rectangular base supports the usual cylindrical frame. Atop the frame is a garden roof with a [baroque](/wiki/Baroque "Baroque") monument bearing the statue of an angel.{{harvp\|Colvin\|1991\|p\=49}} The original statue, that of a golden [quadriga](/wiki/Quadriga "Quadriga"), among other treasures, fell victim to various attacks when the mausoleum served as a castle and a papal fortress during the [Middle Ages](/wiki/Middle_Ages "Middle Ages"). Over a century would pass before a new mausoleum would house the remains of an emperor. The corruption of the [Severans](/wiki/Severan_dynasty "Severan dynasty") and the [Third Century Crisis](/wiki/Third_Century_Crisis "Third Century Crisis") did not offer much opportunity for such a glorious memorialization.{{harvp\|Colvin\|1991\|p\=50}}
#### The Tetrarchy
{{main\|Tetrarchy}}
[Diocletian](/wiki/Diocletian "Diocletian"), [Maxentius](/wiki/Maxentius "Maxentius"), [Galerius](/wiki/Galerius "Galerius"), and [Constantius I](/wiki/Constantius_I "Constantius I") all had their own mausolea.{{harvp\|Colvin\|1991\|p\=52}} Diocletian and Galerius, who ruled the [Eastern Empire](/wiki/Eastern_Empire "Eastern Empire"), have particularly visible eastern influences in their mausolea, now both churches. Viewers can observe the tower in the former's building, built inside [Diocletian's Palace](/wiki/Diocletian%27s_Palace "Diocletian's Palace") in [Split, Croatia](/wiki/Split%2C_Croatia "Split, Croatia") and the dark oil murals on the interior of the latter's, in [Thessalonica](/wiki/Thessalonica "Thessalonica"). Diocletian's mausoleum is now the main part of the [Split Cathedral](/wiki/Cathedral_of_Saint_Domnius "Cathedral of Saint Domnius"). The [Mausoleum of Maxentius](/wiki/Mausoleum_of_Maxentius "Mausoleum of Maxentius") outside Rome is the only one of the four in Italy. It lies on the [Via Appia](/wiki/Via_Appia "Via Appia"), where his [villa](/wiki/Villa "Villa") and [circus](/wiki/Circus_%28building%29 "Circus (building)") lie in ruins. Colvin asserts that the army likely buried Constantius in [Trier](/wiki/Trier "Trier"), but there is no material evidence.

"Mausolea\n--------",
"{{main\\|Mausoleum}}\nThe mausoleum is so named for [Mausolus](/wiki/Mausolus \"Mausolus\") of [Caria](/wiki/Caria \"Caria\") (377–353/2 BC). Mausolea generally had multiple occupants because their space was so vast, although this practise took time to become common in the Early Republic, as did the idea of \"burying\" the dead above ground. [Mass burials](/wiki/Mass_grave \"Mass grave\") were common, but only for the common people. Royalty, politicians, generals, and the richest citizens originally would have shared a tomb wonly with immediate family. Changes were gradual largely because [funerary practices](/wiki/Roman_funerary_practices \"Roman funerary practices\") tended to follow strict traditions, especially in the ancient world.{{harvp\\|Colvin\\|1991\\|p\\=16}} It took centuries to develop the \"Roman\" concept of the mausoleum. Meanwhile, the practise of lavish decoration of burial sites remained throughout the Republic and the Empire. The above ground structures of the Empire and Late Republic contained art suitable for the lives of the occupants as with their underground alternatives.",
"Few mausolea inside the *pomerium* predate the Empire. Most mausolea existed on designated burial grounds in the country, though city exemptions to the prohibition of mortuary buildings only increased during the Empire. It was also popular to build them along main roads so that they would be consistently visible to the public. A trend of the [Middle and Late Empire](/wiki/History_of_the_Roman_Empire \"History of the Roman Empire\") was to build mausolea on family property, even if it was within the city limits.{{harvp\\|Patterson\\|2000\\|p\\=265}}",
"### History",
"The Romans absorbed a great deal of [Etruscan funerary art](/wiki/Funerary_art%23Etruscans \"Funerary art#Etruscans\") practices. Above ground mausolea were still rare; underground tombs and [tumuli](/wiki/Tumulus \"Tumulus\") were far more common methods of burial. The [early Romans](/wiki/Roman_Kingdom \"Roman Kingdom\") buried those who could not afford such accommodations in [mass graves](/wiki/Mass_grave \"Mass grave\") or [cremated](/wiki/Cremation \"Cremation\") them. Of the few mausolea that they did build during Rome's infancy, many fell to [ruins](/wiki/Ruins \"Ruins\") under unknown circumstances. Their absence thus renders little indication of the Romans' mausoleum practices during these years. A notable exception is in Praeneste, or present day [Palestrina](/wiki/Palestrina \"Palestrina\"), where approximately forty early mausolea remain.{{harvp\\|Smith\\|2000\\|p\\=23}}",
"Etruscan influence continued into the early Republic, and there became more consistency in the styles of mausolea as Roman influence increased throughout the [Latin League](/wiki/Latin_League \"Latin League\"). Structures from this era are rare, but as with the preceding centuries, most of those that the Romans built at this time no longer exist.",
"#### Mid Republic",
"Rome, along with the rest of the Mediterranean world, experienced a resurgence of [Greek culture](/wiki/Ancient_Greece%23Culture \"Ancient Greece#Culture\"), known as the [Hellenistic period](/wiki/Hellenistic_period \"Hellenistic period\"). Both the interiors and exteriors of mausolea adopted elements of [Classical architecture](/wiki/Classical_architecture \"Classical architecture\") such as [barrel vaulted](/wiki/Barrel_vault \"Barrel vault\") roofs; [klinai](/wiki/Klinai \"Klinai\"), which were full body benches upon which the dead lay; painted [facades](/wiki/Facade \"Facade\"); ornate [columns](/wiki/Column%23Classical_orders \"Column#Classical orders\"); and [friezes](/wiki/Frieze \"Frieze\") along the roofs. During this era, most Romans acknowledged the idea that above ground burial would allow the public to better remember the deceased. Clearly in accordance with their embrace of tradition and [virtues](/wiki/Virtue%23Roman_Virtues \"Virtue#Roman Virtues\") of the [mos maiorum](/wiki/Mos_maiorum \"Mos maiorum\"), Romans began to set aside money to build vast new mausolea for the preservation of their legacies.{{harvp\\|Patterson\\|2000\\|p\\=273}} Of course, this trend was gradual, but had gained ground by the [end of the Republic](/wiki/Crisis_of_the_Roman_Republic \"Crisis of the Roman Republic\").",
"The [Tomb of the Scipios](/wiki/Tomb_of_the_Scipios \"Tomb of the Scipios\") is an example of a large underground rock\\-cut set of chambers; it was used by the Scipio family from the 3rd to the 1st centuries BC. Although grand it was fairly inconspicuous above ground.",
"[thumb\\|left\\|alt\\=photo\\|The [Harpy Tomb](/wiki/Harpy_Tomb \"Harpy Tomb\") and the pillared sarcophagus of [Xanthos](/wiki/Xanthos \"Xanthos\")](/wiki/File:Xanthos_Harpy_tomb_and_the_pillared_sarcophagus_5152.jpg \"Xanthos Harpy tomb and the pillared sarcophagus 5152.jpg\")\nAlso present was an influence from the [lands east of Greece](/wiki/Anatolia \"Anatolia\"). Although the architectural contributions of [Asia Minor](/wiki/Asia_Minor \"Asia Minor\") were very different from those of the Greeks, Asia Minor had previously opened itself to Hellenic styles earlier in the fourth century BC. The Romans borrowed most of their architecture during these years from the Greeks, so most of the Roman styles similar to those of Asia Minor actually came to Rome via Greece. Of course, the Romans borrowed directly from the Greek style as well. Anatolian mausolea are distinct via their tower designs, a notable example being the [Harpy Tomb](/wiki/Harpy_Tomb \"Harpy Tomb\"), built circa 480–470 BC.{{harvp\\|Colvin\\|1991\\|p\\=21}}",
"Approaching the Late Republic, the new diversity in design allowed those who could afford it to build larger and more lavish mausolea. Although politicians, particularly [senators](/wiki/Roman_Senate \"Roman Senate\"), had always used their monuments to proclaim their status, they increasingly saw the grandeur of their mausolea as an additional outlet for expressing political dominance. Around this time, most Romans had accepted the similarities of mausolea and [temples](/wiki/Roman_temple \"Roman temple\"), although their ancestors had been conscious of this apparent analogue for centuries.",
"#### Late Republic",
"During the final two centuries of the Republic, Roman mausolea acquired inspiration from another geographical region: [North Africa](/wiki/History_of_Africa%23Roman_North_Africa \"History of Africa#Roman North Africa\"). North African architecture itself had succumbed to Greek practices since Greco\\-[Phoenician](/wiki/Phoenicia \"Phoenicia\") [trade settlements](/wiki/Phoenicia%23Trade \"Phoenicia#Trade\") since the eighth century BC. Again, the Romans embraced the style as they solidified their conquest of North Africa in the second and first centuries BC. By the time of [Augustus](/wiki/Augustus \"Augustus\"), the influences of Greece, Asia Minor, and Africa combined to make a unique [\"Roman\" style](/wiki/Ancient_Roman_architecture \"Ancient Roman architecture\").{{harvp\\|Colvin\\|1991\\|p\\=29}}",

Of the few mausolea that they did build during Rome's infancy, many fell to [ruins](/wiki/Ruins "Ruins") under unknown circumstances. Their absence thus renders little indication of the Romans' mausoleum practices during these years. A notable exception is in Praeneste, or present day [Palestrina](/wiki/Palestrina "Palestrina"), where approximately forty early mausolea remain.{{harvp\|Smith\|2000\|p\=23}}
Etruscan influence continued into the early Republic, and there became more consistency in the styles of mausolea as Roman influence increased throughout the [Latin League](/wiki/Latin_League "Latin League"). Structures from this era are rare, but as with the preceding centuries, most of those that the Romans built at this time no longer exist.
#### Mid Republic
Rome, along with the rest of the Mediterranean world, experienced a resurgence of [Greek culture](/wiki/Ancient_Greece%23Culture "Ancient Greece#Culture"), known as the [Hellenistic period](/wiki/Hellenistic_period "Hellenistic period"). Both the interiors and exteriors of mausolea adopted elements of [Classical architecture](/wiki/Classical_architecture "Classical architecture") such as [barrel vaulted](/wiki/Barrel_vault "Barrel vault") roofs; [klinai](/wiki/Klinai "Klinai"), which were full body benches upon which the dead lay; painted [facades](/wiki/Facade "Facade"); ornate [columns](/wiki/Column%23Classical_orders "Column#Classical orders"); and [friezes](/wiki/Frieze "Frieze") along the roofs. During this era, most Romans acknowledged the idea that above ground burial would allow the public to better remember the deceased. Clearly in accordance with their embrace of tradition and [virtues](/wiki/Virtue%23Roman_Virtues "Virtue#Roman Virtues") of the [mos maiorum](/wiki/Mos_maiorum "Mos maiorum"), Romans began to set aside money to build vast new mausolea for the preservation of their legacies.{{harvp\|Patterson\|2000\|p\=273}} Of course, this trend was gradual, but had gained ground by the [end of the Republic](/wiki/Crisis_of_the_Roman_Republic "Crisis of the Roman Republic").
The [Tomb of the Scipios](/wiki/Tomb_of_the_Scipios "Tomb of the Scipios") is an example of a large underground rock\-cut set of chambers; it was used by the Scipio family from the 3rd to the 1st centuries BC. Although grand it was fairly inconspicuous above ground.
[thumb\|left\|alt\=photo\|The [Harpy Tomb](/wiki/Harpy_Tomb "Harpy Tomb") and the pillared sarcophagus of [Xanthos](/wiki/Xanthos "Xanthos")](/wiki/File:Xanthos_Harpy_tomb_and_the_pillared_sarcophagus_5152.jpg "Xanthos Harpy tomb and the pillared sarcophagus 5152.jpg")
Also present was an influence from the [lands east of Greece](/wiki/Anatolia "Anatolia"). Although the architectural contributions of [Asia Minor](/wiki/Asia_Minor "Asia Minor") were very different from those of the Greeks, Asia Minor had previously opened itself to Hellenic styles earlier in the fourth century BC. The Romans borrowed most of their architecture during these years from the Greeks, so most of the Roman styles similar to those of Asia Minor actually came to Rome via Greece. Of course, the Romans borrowed directly from the Greek style as well. Anatolian mausolea are distinct via their tower designs, a notable example being the [Harpy Tomb](/wiki/Harpy_Tomb "Harpy Tomb"), built circa 480–470 BC.{{harvp\|Colvin\|1991\|p\=21}}
Approaching the Late Republic, the new diversity in design allowed those who could afford it to build larger and more lavish mausolea. Although politicians, particularly [senators](/wiki/Roman_Senate "Roman Senate"), had always used their monuments to proclaim their status, they increasingly saw the grandeur of their mausolea as an additional outlet for expressing political dominance. Around this time, most Romans had accepted the similarities of mausolea and [temples](/wiki/Roman_temple "Roman temple"), although their ancestors had been conscious of this apparent analogue for centuries.
#### Late Republic
During the final two centuries of the Republic, Roman mausolea acquired inspiration from another geographical region: [North Africa](/wiki/History_of_Africa%23Roman_North_Africa "History of Africa#Roman North Africa"). North African architecture itself had succumbed to Greek practices since Greco\-[Phoenician](/wiki/Phoenicia "Phoenicia") [trade settlements](/wiki/Phoenicia%23Trade "Phoenicia#Trade") since the eighth century BC. Again, the Romans embraced the style as they solidified their conquest of North Africa in the second and first centuries BC. By the time of [Augustus](/wiki/Augustus "Augustus"), the influences of Greece, Asia Minor, and Africa combined to make a unique ["Roman" style](/wiki/Ancient_Roman_architecture "Ancient Roman architecture").{{harvp\|Colvin\|1991\|p\=29}}
As the Republic ended, more people continued to get around the rules against city burials.{{harvp\|Patterson\|2000\|p\=266}} One of the last Republican leaders to do so was [Sulla](/wiki/Sulla "Sulla"), who opted to build a mausoleum on the [Campus Martius](/wiki/Campus_Martius "Campus Martius").{{harvp\|Hope\|2007\|p\=137}} Many burial grounds outside of the city became crowded because mausolea had increased in size, ornateness, and quantity since the Hellenistic Era. In the first century BC, some Romans settled for smaller and simpler mausolea in order to just reserve space on a prominent burial ground, such as the [Isola Sacra Necropolis](/wiki/Isola_Sacra_Necropolis "Isola Sacra Necropolis") outside of [Portus](/wiki/Portus "Portus"), where visitors can notice the smaller mausolea desperately filling random space around the more properly distanced larger ones.{{harvp\|Hope\|2007\|p\=134}} [Howard Colvin](/wiki/Howard_Colvin "Howard Colvin") cites the mausolea of the [consul](/wiki/Roman_consul "Roman consul") [Minicius Fundanus](/wiki/List_of_Roman_consuls%231st_century_AD "List of Roman consuls#1st century AD") on [Monte Mario](/wiki/Monte_Mario "Monte Mario") and the [Licinii](/wiki/Licinia_gens "Licinia gens")\-[Calpurnii](/wiki/Calpurnia_gens "Calpurnia gens") on [Via Salaria](/wiki/Via_Salaria "Via Salaria") as examples of more compact structures that came to scatter burial sites.
The [Tomb of Eurysaces the Baker](/wiki/Tomb_of_Eurysaces_the_Baker "Tomb of Eurysaces the Baker") (50–20 BC) is a flamboyant example of a rich [freedman](/wiki/Freedman "Freedman")'s tomb, with reliefs exemplifying an Italic style less influenced by Hellenistic art than official or patrician monuments.
#### Early Empire
[thumb\|The [Pyramid of Cestius](/wiki/Pyramid_of_Cestius "Pyramid of Cestius"), a pyramid shaped tomb in the city of Rome](/wiki/File:Cimeti%C3%A8re_anglais_de_Rome.jpg "Cimetière anglais de Rome.jpg")
The [new government](/wiki/Roman_Empire%23Government_and_military "Roman Empire#Government and military") of Rome brought a new approach to mausolea, politically and socially. The non\-elite became more prominent in the Senate,{{citation needed\|date\=December 2023}} curbing many of the longtime rivalries of the [aristocracy](/wiki/Roman_aristocracy "Roman aristocracy"). Because many of these men were *[homines novi](/wiki/Novus_homo "Novus homo")*, or new men, they had other incentives to assert dominance; Patterson{{clarify\|who he\|date\=December 2023}} observes that their mausolea focused more upon giving prestige to their own name rather than toppling that of someone else. Such an agenda is discernible through the increased interest in building mausolea on family property.{{harvp\|Patterson\|2000\|p\=267}} Many wealthy families owned magnificent estates in the country, where they were free from the burial laws of the city. While the art and design of the structures themselves remained grandiose, builders shifted interest to decorating the land around the mausoleum. Statues, [podia](/wiki/Podium "Podium"), [steles](/wiki/Stele "Stele"), and horti (gardens), gained popularity amongst those who had the space and money to erect mausolea on their own property.{{harvp\|Patterson\|2000\|p\=271}} The [Pyramid of Cestius](/wiki/Pyramid_of_Cestius "Pyramid of Cestius") of about 12 BC remains a rather eccentric Roman landmark; he had perhaps served in [Nubian](/wiki/Nubia "Nubia") campaigns.
With the advent of the Empire there was an increase in the inclusivity of mausolea in two ways. Firstly, the number of occupants of many new mausolea was greater than that of their Republican predecessors, which generally reserved space for nobody other than their immediate family. Many in the Empire who commissioned mausolea in their name also requested room for extended family, [slaves](/wiki/Slavery_in_ancient_Rome "Slavery in ancient Rome"), [freedmen](/wiki/Slavery_in_ancient_Rome%23Freedmen "Slavery in ancient Rome#Freedmen"), [concubines](/wiki/Concubine "Concubine"), [clients](/wiki/Patronage_in_ancient_Rome "Patronage in ancient Rome"), animals, and other intimate acquaintances. Secondly, more people could afford a mausoleum. Aside from those a master invited to his mausoleum, certain freedmen received their own mausolea with financial assistance from their former masters. Some of the freedmen's mausolea are equally as impressive as those of wealthy citizens.{{harvp\|Patterson\|2000\|p\=269}}
#### Late Empire
Around the end of the second century AD Rome reached its maximum territorial extent. The initially slow, but quickly hastening [decline of the Empire](/wiki/Decline_of_the_Roman_Empire "Decline of the Roman Empire") allowed the mausoleum to fall into the hands of Roman constituents and [enemies](/wiki/Barbarian "Barbarian"). Notably, after the [Crisis of the Third Century](/wiki/Crisis_of_the_Third_Century "Crisis of the Third Century"), the revival of the mausoleum during the [Tetrarchy](/wiki/Tetrarchy "Tetrarchy") and beyond spawned interest amongst the [Christian population](/wiki/Religion_in_ancient_Rome%23Christianity_in_the_Roman_Empire "Religion in ancient Rome#Christianity in the Roman Empire"). They began to build mausolea in the same style as the Romans had done for the duration of the Empire, and decorated them with [Christian artwork](/wiki/Christian_art "Christian art"). Mausolea continued to be a prime means of interring multiple individuals in the [Middle Ages](/wiki/Middle_Ages "Middle Ages").{{harvp\|Colvin\|1991\|p\=53}}
The [Mausoleum of Helena](/wiki/Mausoleum_of_Helena "Mausoleum of Helena") in Rome, built by [Constantine I](/wiki/Constantine_I "Constantine I") for himself, but later used for his mother, retains a traditional form, but the church of [Santa Costanza](/wiki/Santa_Costanza "Santa Costanza"), built as a mausoleum for Constantine's daughter, was built over an important catacomb where [Saint Agnes](/wiki/Saint_Agnes "Saint Agnes") was buried, and either was always intended, or soon developed into, a [funerary hall](/wiki/Funerary_hall "Funerary hall") where burial spots could be bought by Christians. Most of the great Christian [basilicas](/wiki/Basilica "Basilica") in Rome passed through a stage as funerary halls, full of sarcophagi and slab memorials, before being turned into more conventional churches in the [Early Middle Ages](/wiki/Early_Middle_Ages "Early Middle Ages").

The screenplay by [Harry Essex](/wiki/Harry_Essex "Harry Essex"), with input by [Jack Arnold](/wiki/Jack_Arnold_%28director%29 "Jack Arnold (director)"), was derived from an original and lengthy screen treatment by [Ray Bradbury](/wiki/Ray_Bradbury "Ray Bradbury"); screen legend says that Bradbury wrote the screenplay and Harry Essex merely changed the dialogue and took the credit.*It Came From Outer Space* DVD Commentary by film historian Tom Weaver Unusual among science fiction films of the era, the alien "invaders" were portrayed by Bradbury as creatures stranded on Earth and without malicious intent toward humanity. Bradbury said "I wanted to treat the invaders as beings who were not dangerous, and that was very unusual." He offered two story outlines to the studio, one with malicious aliens, the other with benign aliens. "The studio picked the right concept, and I stayed on."Weller 2005, p. 60\.
In 2004 Bradbury published in one volume all four versions of his screen treatment for *[It Came From Outer Space](/wiki/It_Came_from_Outer_Space_%28book%29 "It Came from Outer Space (book)")*.Bradbury, 2004 (Gauntlet Press).
Filming took place on location in and around the California towns of [Palmdale](/wiki/Palmdale%2C_California "Palmdale, California"), [Victorville](/wiki/Victorville%2C_California "Victorville, California"), and the [Mojave Desert](/wiki/Mojave_Desert "Mojave Desert"), as well as on Universal's sound stages.
The film's uncredited music score was composed by [Irving Gertz](/wiki/Irving_Gertz "Irving Gertz"), [Henry Mancini](/wiki/Henry_Mancini "Henry Mancini"), and [Herman Stein](/wiki/Herman_Stein "Herman Stein").Warren 1982 {{page needed\|date\=January 2015}}
Universal's make\-up department submitted two alien designs to studio executives for consideration; the rejected design was saved and later used as the "Metaluna Mutant" in Universal's 1955 science fiction film *[This Island Earth](/wiki/This_Island_Earth "This Island Earth")*.
The fiery special effects created for the crashing alien spacecraft consisted of a wire\-mounted iron ball with dorsal fin, which had hollowed out "windows" all around for the burning magnesium inside.
The Arizona setting and the alien abduction of a telephone [lineman](/wiki/Lineman_%28technician%29 "Lineman (technician)") and two other characters are fictionalized story elements taken from Bradbury's younger life when his father moved the family to [Tucson](/wiki/Tucson%2C_Arizona "Tucson, Arizona"), where he worked as a telephone lineman.
Urban legend has it that an extra in an Army staff sergeant's uniform seen at the "meteor" crash site is comedy writer\-performer [Morey Amsterdam](/wiki/Morey_Amsterdam "Morey Amsterdam"). While the briefly glimpsed extra does indeed resemble Amsterdam, no hard evidence (e.g., cast call bureau records, interviews with Amsterdam) has ever confirmed this is actually he. The most recent DVD re\-release of *It Came from Outer Space* comes with a documentary, *The Universe According to Universal*. It was written and directed by David J.

History

### Early years
[thumb\|Saint Landry Catholic Church](/wiki/File:St._Landry_Catholic_1.JPG "St. Landry Catholic 1.JPG")
Opelousas takes its name from the Native American tribe [Opelousa](/wiki/Opelousa "Opelousa") who had occupied the area before European contact.
French traders, called *coureurs de bois* (forest trappers and hunters), arrived in the Opelousas area in the early 1740s to trade with the Opelousas Indians.{{Cite book \|last\=Harper \|first\=John N. \|title\=Mississippi Valley Mélange: A Collection of Notes and Documents for the Genealogy and History of the Province of Louisiana and the Territory of Orleans \|publisher\=Provincial Press \|year\=2018 \|isbn\=978\-1\-59804\-201\-6 \|edition\=1st \|location\=Baton Rouge \|pages\=12–16}} The French encouraged immigration to the Opelousas Post before they ceded Louisiana to Spain in 1762\. Governor [Jean\-Jacques d’Abbadie](/wiki/Jean-Jacques_Blaise_d%27Abbadie "Jean-Jacques Blaise d'Abbadie") opened the "Opelousas Country" to settlers in 1763\. An official post was established in 1764; Frenchman Louis Gérard Pellerin was appointed as the first commandant on July 1, 1764\.{{Cite journal \|last\=Brasseaux \|first\=Carl A. \|date\=1980–1981 \|title\=Frontier Tyranny: The Case of Commandant Louis Pellerin, 1764–1767 \|journal\=\[\[The McNeese Review]] \|volume\=27 \|pages\=15–24}} By 1766, [Saint Landry Catholic Church](/wiki/St._Landry_Catholic_Church "St. Landry Catholic Church") was built.{{Cite book \|last\=Harper \|first\=John N. \|title\=The Mother Church of Acadiana: The History of the St. Landry Catholic Church in Opelousas, Louisiana \|publisher\=Hébert Publications \|year\=1993 \|isbn\=979\-8\-218\-20664\-2 \|edition\=1st \|location\=Rayne, LA \|pages\=5–9}} In 1769, about 100 families, mostly French, were living in the post. *Don* [Alejandro O'Reilly](/wiki/Alejandro_O%27Reilly "Alejandro O'Reilly"), Spanish governor of Louisiana, issued a land ordinance to allow settlers in the frontier of the Opelousas Territory to acquire land grants. However, O’Reilly forbade [Acadians](/wiki/Cajuns "Cajuns") from settling in the Opelousas area until his successor, [Luis de Unzaga](/wiki/Luis_de_Unzaga "Luis de Unzaga"), nullified that order and allowed Acadians to settle at the Opelousas. The first official land grant was made in 1782\. Numerous settlers: French, Spanish, [Creoles](/wiki/Louisiana_Creole_people "Louisiana Creole people"), and Acadians – mainly from the Attakapas Territory – came to the Opelousas Territory and acquired land grants. {{Citation needed\|date\=February 2014}} By the mid\-1780s, land was granted at the site of contemporary Opelousas. (Some people confuse the name of this Indian tribe and territory, Opelousas, with that of the [Appaloosa](/wiki/Appaloosa "Appaloosa") horse. But there is no connection; the name for the Appaloosa breed is derived from *[Palouse](/wiki/Palouse_River "Palouse River")*, a river named by the [Nez Perce](/wiki/Nez_Perce_people "Nez Perce people") Northwestern Plains Indians.)
After the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 to France who had regained it in 1800 , settlers continued to migrate here from [St. Martinville](/wiki/St._Martinville%2C_Louisiana "St. Martinville, Louisiana"). LeBon, Prejean, Thibodaux, Esprit, Nezat, Hebert, Babineaux, Mouton, and Provost were some of the early Creole families. (This use of *Creole* meant ethnic French and Spanish people who were born in Louisiana. Later [Louisiana Creole](/wiki/Louisiana_Creole_people "Louisiana Creole people") was a term applied to anyone with French, Spanish, and Canadian ancestry. Creoles of color were mostly assigned to [mixed\-race](/wiki/Mixed-race "Mixed-race") people, descended primarily from Native Americans, African\-Americans, and ethnic French, with other heritage in more recent years.) Other early French Creole families were Roy, Barre, Guenard, Decuir, and Bail. In 1820, Alex Charles Barre, also a French Creole, founded [Port Barre](/wiki/Port_Barre "Port Barre"). His ancestors came from the French West Indies, probably after the revolution in which [Haiti](/wiki/Haiti "Haiti") ([St. Domingue](/wiki/Saint-Domingue "Saint-Domingue")) became independent. [Jim Bowie](/wiki/Jim_Bowie "Jim Bowie") and his family were said to have settled in the area *circa* 1813\.
In 1805, Opelousas became the seat of the newly formed St. Landry Parish – named after the church located there and in honor of [Saint Landry](/wiki/Landry_of_Paris "Landry of Paris") – the parish was also known as the Imperial Parish of Louisiana. The year 1806 marked the beginning of significant construction in Opelousas. The first courthouse was constructed in the middle of the town. Later in 1806, Louisiana Memorial United Methodist Church was founded. It was the first [Methodist](/wiki/Methodist "Methodist") church in Louisiana. Five years later, the first St. Landry Parish Police Jury met in Opelousas, keeping minutes in the two official languages of English and French. The city was incorporated by legislative act on February 14, 1821\. {{citation needed\|date\=February 2014}}
### American Civil War
[right\|thumb\|View of St Landry Parish Courthouse at Opelousas during the Civil War](/wiki/File:St_Landry_Parish_Courthouse_at_Opelousas_during_the_Civil_War.jpg "St Landry Parish Courthouse at Opelousas during the Civil War.jpg")
European and American settlement was based on plantation agriculture, and both groups brought or purchased numerous enslaved Africans and African Americans to work as laborers in cotton cultivation. African Americans influenced all cultures as the people created a "creolized" cuisine and music. The long decline of cotton prices throughout the 19th century created economic problems, worsened by the lack of employment diversity.
In 1862, after [Baton Rouge](/wiki/Baton_Rouge%2C_Louisiana "Baton Rouge, Louisiana") fell to the [Union](/wiki/Union_%28American_Civil_War%29 "Union (American Civil War)") troops during the [Civil War](/wiki/American_Civil_War "American Civil War"), Opelousas was designated the state capital for nine months. The governor's mansion in Opelousas, which was the oldest remaining governor's mansion in Louisiana, was the victim of arson on July 14, 2016, and the structure was reduced to a chimney and its foundation.{{cite web\|url\=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/arson\-ruins\-civil\-war\-era\-governors\-mansion\-in\-louisiana/\|title\=Arson destroys Civil War\-era governor's mansion in Louisiana\|website\=\[\[CBS News]] \|date\=14 July 2016 \|access\-date\=2017\-11\-03\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107022301/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/arson\-ruins\-civil\-war\-era\-governors\-mansion\-in\-louisiana/\|archive\-date\=2017\-11\-07\|url\-status\=live}} The one\-story mansion was located on the corner of Liberty and Grolee Streets, just west of the heart of town. An observation tower was removed from the top of the residence in the early 1900s, but the remainder of the exterior was identical to its original construction in the 1850s. The entire roof section of heavy rafters was held in place by thousands of wooden pegs; not one nail could be found in the attic. Plans had been made to restore the building to some of its former splendor.[Former governor's mansion undergoing improvements"](http://www.dailyworld.com/article/20130410/NEWS01/304100002/Former-governor-s-mansion-undergoing-improvements), dailyworld.com; accessed March 17, 2014\. The capital was moved again in 1863, this time to [Shreveport](/wiki/Shreveport%2C_Louisiana "Shreveport, Louisiana"), when Union troops occupied Opelousas. During [Reconstruction](/wiki/Reconstruction_era_in_the_United_States "Reconstruction era in the United States"), the state government operated from [New Orleans](/wiki/New_Orleans "New Orleans").
### Reconstruction
After the defeat of the South and emancipation of slaves, many whites had difficulty accepting the changed conditions, especially as economic problems and dependence on agriculture slowed the South's recovery. Social tensions were high during Reconstruction. In 1868, in what is known as the [Opelousas massacre](/wiki/Opelousas_massacre "Opelousas massacre"), whites killed 27 African Americans in a mass execution; they had been captured in a protest. Whites continued to attack blacks on sight for days. An estimated additional 23 to 200–300 [freedmen](/wiki/Freedmen "Freedmen") were killed during this period. This series of murders comprised one of the single worst instances of Reconstruction violence in south Louisiana.
Following this, Opelousas in 1872 enacted ordinances that greatly restricted the freedoms of black Americans. These codes required blacks to have a written pass from their employer to enter the town and to state the duration of their visit. Blacks were not allowed on the streets after a 10 pm curfew; they could neither own a house nor reside in the town, unless they were employed by a white person, and they were not allowed in the town after 3 pm on Sundays.W.E.B. Du Bois, *Black Reconstruction* (NY: Harcourt Brace, 1935\). {{cite web\|url\=http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G2\-3401804788\.html\|title\=Police Regulations of Saint Landry Parish, Louisiana (1865\) \- Encyclopedia.com\|website\=www.encyclopedia.com\|access\-date\=2014\-06\-23\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20151205225528/http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G2\-3401804788\.html\|archive\-date\=2015\-12\-05\|url\-status\=live}} Like the Black Codes, such police regulations restricted the freedoms and personal autonomy of freedmen after the Civil War in the South.

### Refugee era and beyond
In 1880, the railroad reached Opelousas. In the late 19th century, New York City social services agencies arranged for resettlement of Catholic orphan children by sending them to western rural areas, including Opelousas, in Louisiana and other states. At least three [Orphan Trains](/wiki/Orphan_Train "Orphan Train") reached this city before 1929\. Opelousas is the heart of a traditional Catholic region of French, Spanish, Canadian, and French West Indian ancestry. Catholic families in Louisiana took in more than 2,000 mostly Catholic orphans to live in their rural farming communities.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.cajuntravel.com/about/did\_you\_know.cfm\|title\=St. Landry Parish profile\|publisher\=Cajuntravel.com\|access\-date\=April 27, 2008\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509124932/http://www.cajuntravel.com/about/did\_you\_know.cfm\|archive\-date\=May 9, 2008\|url\-status\=dead}}
In the year 1920, segregation at St Landry Catholic Church led local [Black Catholics](/wiki/Black_Catholicism "Black Catholicism") to establish their own parish, [Holy Ghost](/wiki/Holy_Ghost_Catholic_Church_%28Opelousas%2C_Louisiana%29 "Holy Ghost Catholic Church (Opelousas, Louisiana)"). It has since grown to become the largest Black parish in the United States.
In May 1927, Opelousas accepted thousands of refugees following the [Great Mississippi Flood of 1927](/wiki/Great_Mississippi_Flood_of_1927 "Great Mississippi Flood of 1927") in the Mississippi Delta. Heavy rains in northern and midwestern areas caused intense flooding in areas of [Mississippi](/wiki/Mississippi "Mississippi"), [Arkansas](/wiki/Arkansas "Arkansas"), and Louisiana downstream, especially after levées near [Moreauville](/wiki/Moreauville%2C_Louisiana "Moreauville, Louisiana"), [Cecilia](/wiki/Cecilia%2C_Louisiana "Cecilia, Louisiana"), and [Melville](/wiki/Melville%2C_Louisiana "Melville, Louisiana") collapsed.
More than 81% of St. Landry Parish suffered some flooding, with 77% of the inhabitants directly affected. People in more southern areas of Louisiana, especially those communities along [Bayou Teche](/wiki/Bayou_Teche "Bayou Teche"), were forced to flee their homes for areas that suffered less damage. By May 20, over 5,700 refugees were registered in Opelousas, which had a population of only 6,000 people. Many of the refugees later returned to their homes and began the rebuilding process.{{cite web\|last\=Speyrer\|first\=John A.\|title\=1927 High Water in St. Landry Parish\|publisher\=Speyrer Family Association Newsletter\|url\=http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/6980/flood.htm\|access\-date\=2007\-03\-21\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20071224093622/http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/6980/flood.htm\|archive\-date\=2007\-12\-24}}
During the tenure of Parish [Sheriff](/wiki/Sheriff "Sheriff") [Cat Doucet](/wiki/Cat_Doucet "Cat Doucet") from 1936 to 1940 and 1952 to 1968, the section of Opelousas along Highway 190 was a haven of gambling and prostitution. Doucet told historian [Michael Kurtz](/wiki/Michael_L._Kurtz "Michael L. Kurtz") that, with the return of [Earl Long](/wiki/Earl_Long "Earl Long") to the governorship in 1956, Doucet could bring back brothels and casinos and get a take of the proceeds.{{cite web\|url\=http://www.concordiasentinel.com/print.php?story\=3853\|title\=Connected by violence: the mafia, the Klan \& Morville Lounge\|first1\=Stanley\|last1\=Nelson\|first2\=Matt\|last2\=Barnidge\|first3\=Ian\|last3\=Stanford\|publisher\=Concordia Sentinel\|date\=16 July 2009\|access\-date\=December 15, 2010\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20120310112125/http://www.concordiasentinel.com/print.php?story\=3853\|archive\-date\=10 March 2012\|url\-status\=live}}

"More than 81% of St. Landry Parish suffered some flooding, with 77% of the inhabitants directly affected.

By May 20, over 5,700 refugees were registered in Opelousas, which had a population of only 6,000 people. Many of the refugees later returned to their homes and began the rebuilding process.{{cite web\\|last\\=Speyrer\\|first\\=John A.\\|title\\=1927 High Water in St. Landry Parish\\|publisher\\=Speyrer Family Association Newsletter\\|url\\=http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/6980/flood.htm\\|access\\-date\\=2007\\-03\\-21\\|archive\\-url\\=https://web.archive.org/web/20071224093622/http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/6980/flood.htm\\|archive\\-date\\=2007\\-12\\-24}}",

Poetry
------
{{BLP sources section\|date\= February 2023}}
After receiving her degree, Berssenbrugge became active in the multicultural poetry movement of the 1970s, together with her friends [Leslie Marmon Silko](/wiki/Leslie_Marmon_Silko "Leslie Marmon Silko"), and [Ishmael Reed](/wiki/Ishmael_Reed "Ishmael Reed"), with theater director [Frank Chin](/wiki/Frank_Chin "Frank Chin"), and political reformer Kathleen Chang. Berssenbrugge became a teacher at the [Institute of American Indian Arts](/wiki/Institute_of_American_Indian_Arts "Institute of American Indian Arts") in [Santa Fe, New Mexico](/wiki/Santa_Fe%2C_New_Mexico "Santa Fe, New Mexico").
Traveling frequently to New York City, Berssenbrugge became engaged in the rich cultural flourishing of the abstract art movement, and was influenced by New York School poets [John Ashbery](/wiki/John_Ashbery "John Ashbery"), [Barbara Guest](/wiki/Barbara_Guest "Barbara Guest"), [James Schuyler](/wiki/James_Schuyler "James Schuyler") and [Anne Waldman](/wiki/Anne_Waldman "Anne Waldman"), and then the Language poets, including [Charles Bernstein](/wiki/Charles_Bernstein_%28poet%29 "Charles Bernstein (poet)"), as well as artist [Susan Bee](/wiki/Susan_Bee "Susan Bee"). She later joined the contributing editorial board for the literary journal *[Conjunctions](/wiki/Conjunctions_%28journal%29 "Conjunctions (journal)")*.
Berssenbrugge's poetry is known for its mix of philosophical meditation and personal experience, and for moving quickly between abstract language and the concrete particulars of immediate perception. Her poems often contain subtle shifts of grammar and perspective, and Berssenbrugge often works with [collage](/wiki/Collage "Collage") to produce unexpected juxtapositions. Her work is also known for its exploration of the complexities of cultural and political identity, an interest informed by her own experience of cultural and linguistic displacement.
### *Fish Souls*
*Fish Souls* is Berssenbrugge's first published collection of poems. It was published by Greenwood Press in 1971\. Only 100 numbered copies were published. Information about this volume is scarce.
### *Summits Move with the Tide*
*Summits Move with the Tide*, subtitled (on the cover of the second edition) *Poems and a Play*, is Berssenbrugge's second collection of poems. It was published by the Greenfield Review Press in 1974, and later in 1982\. The acknowledgments page indicates that some of the poems previously appeared in *First Issue*, *Intro 3*, *East\-West Journal*, *Cathedral*, *Ash Tree*, *Gidra*, and *Greenwood Press*. In contrast to her later books, most of the poems in the collection are short, with only a few carrying over to new pages. Additionally, only two poems are broken into numbered stanzas, a format Berssenbrugge would use in later poems. The poems in the collection are organized into four groups: three groups of poems, and one play, *One, Two Cups*.{{cite book\| title\=Summits Move with the Tide\| publisher\=Greenfield Review Press\| year\=1982\| isbn\=978\-0\-912678\-15\-3 }}
The book contains the following poems:
Group 1: "Aegean"; "Finn Song to the Bear Ghosts"; "Bog"; "Book of the Dead, Prayer"; "El Bosco"; "Spirit"; "Hopi Basketweaver Song"; "Beetle Is Born, Lives ..."; "Los Sangre de Cristos"; "In Bhaudanath"; "Snow Mountains"; "Red Backs \& Autumn Leaves ..."; and "Ghost".
Group 2: "Old Man Let's Go Fishing In ..."; "Travelling \[sic] Through Your Country"; "Propeller Sleep"; "Fish \& Swimmers \& Lonely Birds ..."; "Spaces Are Death"; "The Second Moment"; "The Third Moment"; "Perpetual Motions"; "Leaving Your Country"; "The Old Know by Midsummer"; and "Abortion".
Group 3: "Written Before Easter in New York"; "Chronicle"; "Tracks"; "On the Winter Solstice"; "Blossom"; "Hudson Ice Floes"; "Poor Mouse"; "Sky"; and "March Wind".
Group 4: The play, *One, Two Cups*.
### *Random Possession*
*Random Possession* was published by I. Reed Books in 1982\. On the contents page the poems are separated spatially into five unnumbered groups (with only the first three listed on the contents page). The pagination bears out the scheme, with one empty page between the groups. The book contains the following poems:
Group 1: "Chronicle".
Group 2: "The Membrane"; "Rabbit, Hair, Leaf"; "On the Mountain with the Deer"; "The Suspension Bridge"; "Numbers of the Date Become the Names of Birds"; "Spring Street Bar"; "Heat Wave"; "The Intention of Two Rivers"; "For The Tails of Comets"; and "Sleep".
Group 3: "The Field for Blue Corn"; "The Reservoir"; "The White Beaver"; "Breaking the Circumference"; "A Deer Listening"; "You and You"; and "Goodbye, Goodbye".
Group 4: "The Scientific Method (for Walter)"; "Walter Calls It a Dream Screen"; "The Constellation Quilt"; "Run\-off and Silt"; "The Translation of Verver"; and "Commentary".
Group 5: "Tail".
### *The Heat Bird*
In *The Heat Bird*, Berssenbrugge shifted to a long\-verse format. The book contains only four poems, all several pages long and broken into numbered stanzas: "Pack Rat Sieve"; "Farolita"; "Ricochet Off Water"; and "The Heat Bird". The verso indicates that some of the poems in the book were previously published in *Conjunctions*, *Contact II*, *Roof*, and *Telephone*.
### *Empathy*
*Empathy* was published by Station Hill Press in 1989, and contains three numbered groups of poems. The verso indicates that some of the poems appeared in *Bridge*, *Calaban*, *Conjunctions*, *Parnassus*, *Temblor*, and *Tyuonyi*. The book is dedicated to Bradford Morrow and Sheffield Van Buren, and contains the following poems:
Group 1: "The Blue Taj"; "Tan Tien"; "Alakanak Break\-Up"; "Texas"; "Duration of Water"; "The Star Field"; and "Chinese Space".
Group 2: "Jealousy"; "Recitative"; "The Carmelites"; "The Margin"; "Naturalism"; and "Fog".
Group 3: "War Insurance"; "Empathy"; "The Swan"; "Forms of Politeness"; and "Honeymoon".
### *Sphericity*
*Sphericity* was published by Kelsey Street Press in 1993, and was her second collaboration with Richard Tuttle. The first edition of *Sphericity* was limited to 2000 copies, with the first 50 signed by Berssenbrugge and Tuttle and hand\-colored by Tuttle. The book consists of six long poems, all with several numbered stanzas: "Ideal"; "Size"; "Combustion"; "Sphericity"; "Experience"; and "Value".
### *Endocrinology*

"Poetry\n------",
"{{BLP sources section\\|date\\= February 2023}}\nAfter receiving her degree, Berssenbrugge became active in the multicultural poetry movement of the 1970s, together with her friends [Leslie Marmon Silko](/wiki/Leslie_Marmon_Silko \"Leslie Marmon Silko\"), and [Ishmael Reed](/wiki/Ishmael_Reed \"Ishmael Reed\"), with theater director [Frank Chin](/wiki/Frank_Chin \"Frank Chin\"), and political reformer Kathleen Chang. Berssenbrugge became a teacher at the [Institute of American Indian Arts](/wiki/Institute_of_American_Indian_Arts \"Institute of American Indian Arts\") in [Santa Fe, New Mexico](/wiki/Santa_Fe%2C_New_Mexico \"Santa Fe, New Mexico\").",
"Traveling frequently to New York City, Berssenbrugge became engaged in the rich cultural flourishing of the abstract art movement, and was influenced by New York School poets [John Ashbery](/wiki/John_Ashbery \"John Ashbery\"), [Barbara Guest](/wiki/Barbara_Guest \"Barbara Guest\"), [James Schuyler](/wiki/James_Schuyler \"James Schuyler\") and [Anne Waldman](/wiki/Anne_Waldman \"Anne Waldman\"), and then the Language poets, including [Charles Bernstein](/wiki/Charles_Bernstein_%28poet%29 \"Charles Bernstein (poet)\"), as well as artist [Susan Bee](/wiki/Susan_Bee \"Susan Bee\"). She later joined the contributing editorial board for the literary journal *[Conjunctions](/wiki/Conjunctions_%28journal%29 \"Conjunctions (journal)\")*.",
"Berssenbrugge's poetry is known for its mix of philosophical meditation and personal experience, and for moving quickly between abstract language and the concrete particulars of immediate perception. Her poems often contain subtle shifts of grammar and perspective, and Berssenbrugge often works with [collage](/wiki/Collage \"Collage\") to produce unexpected juxtapositions. Her work is also known for its exploration of the complexities of cultural and political identity, an interest informed by her own experience of cultural and linguistic displacement.",
"### *Fish Souls*",
"*Fish Souls* is Berssenbrugge's first published collection of poems. It was published by Greenwood Press in 1971\\. Only 100 numbered copies were published. Information about this volume is scarce.",
"### *Summits Move with the Tide*",
"*Summits Move with the Tide*, subtitled (on the cover of the second edition) *Poems and a Play*, is Berssenbrugge's second collection of poems. It was published by the Greenfield Review Press in 1974, and later in 1982\\. The acknowledgments page indicates that some of the poems previously appeared in *First Issue*, *Intro 3*, *East\\-West Journal*, *Cathedral*, *Ash Tree*, *Gidra*, and *Greenwood Press*. In contrast to her later books, most of the poems in the collection are short, with only a few carrying over to new pages. Additionally, only two poems are broken into numbered stanzas, a format Berssenbrugge would use in later poems. The poems in the collection are organized into four groups: three groups of poems, and one play, *One, Two Cups*.{{cite book\\| title\\=Summits Move with the Tide\\| publisher\\=Greenfield Review Press\\| year\\=1982\\| isbn\\=978\\-0\\-912678\\-15\\-3 }}",
"The book contains the following poems:",

"### *Random Possession*",
"*Random Possession* was published by I. Reed Books in 1982\\. On the contents page the poems are separated spatially into five unnumbered groups (with only the first three listed on the contents page). The pagination bears out the scheme, with one empty page between the groups. The book contains the following poems:",
"Group 1: \"Chronicle\".",
"Group 2: \"The Membrane\"; \"Rabbit, Hair, Leaf\"; \"On the Mountain with the Deer\"; \"The Suspension Bridge\"; \"Numbers of the Date Become the Names of Birds\"; \"Spring Street Bar\"; \"Heat Wave\"; \"The Intention of Two Rivers\"; \"For The Tails of Comets\"; and \"Sleep\".",

"Group 5: \"Tail\".",
"### *The Heat Bird*",
"In *The Heat Bird*, Berssenbrugge shifted to a long\\-verse format. The book contains only four poems, all several pages long and broken into numbered stanzas: \"Pack Rat Sieve\"; \"Farolita\"; \"Ricochet Off Water\"; and \"The Heat Bird\". The verso indicates that some of the poems in the book were previously published in *Conjunctions*, *Contact II*, *Roof*, and *Telephone*.",
"### *Empathy*",
"*Empathy* was published by Station Hill Press in 1989, and contains three numbered groups of poems.

The book is dedicated to Bradford Morrow and Sheffield Van Buren, and contains the following poems:",
"Group 1: \"The Blue Taj\"; \"Tan Tien\"; \"Alakanak Break\\-Up\"; \"Texas\"; \"Duration of Water\"; \"The Star Field\"; and \"Chinese Space\".",
"Group 2: \"Jealousy\"; \"Recitative\"; \"The Carmelites\"; \"The Margin\"; \"Naturalism\"; and \"Fog\".",
"Group 3: \"War Insurance\"; \"Empathy\"; \"The Swan\"; \"Forms of Politeness\"; and \"Honeymoon\".",
"### *Sphericity*",
"*Sphericity* was published by Kelsey Street Press in 1993, and was her second collaboration with Richard Tuttle. The first edition of *Sphericity* was limited to 2000 copies, with the first 50 signed by Berssenbrugge and Tuttle and hand\\-colored by Tuttle.

Event handling
--------------
### Event notification and detection
Event notifications can be proprietary, only certain management tools can be used to detect events. Most of the [Configuration Items (CIs)](/wiki/Configuration_item "Configuration item") generate event notifications using SNMP open protocol ([Simple Network Management Protocol](/wiki/Simple_Network_Management_Protocol "Simple Network Management Protocol")).
The CIs are configured to generate a set of events based on the designer's experience.
Once an Event notification has been generated, it will be detected by the specific tool (read and interpreted)
### Event filtering
Filtering means that the event notification can be ignored or communicated to the management tool. If ignored, the event will usually be recorded in a log file on the device, but no further action will be taken.
During the filtering step, the event will receive a level of correlation (type: informational, warning, or exception).
The filtering step is not always mandatory, some CI's have significant events that are communicated directly into the management tool (even if they are duplicated).
### Significance of event
Standard categorization based on the significance of an event:
* **Informational** (INFO): the event does not require any immediate action and does not represent an exception. They are recorded in the log files and maintained for a predetermined period. This type of event is used to check the status of a device or service, to confirm the state of an activity, to generate statistics (user login, batch job completed, device power up, number of users logged into an application)
* **Warning** (WARN / ALERT): the event is generated when a device or service, (application / utility), is approaching an agreed threshold ([KPI](/wiki/Key_performance_indicator "Key performance indicator")). Warnings are intended to notify the group/process/tool in order to take the necessary actions to prevent an exception occurring.
* **Exception** (ERROR): means that a service or device is currently operating below the normal parameters/indicators (predefined). This mean that the business service is impacted and the device or service presents a failure, performance degradations or loss of functionality (web server down, CS coverage lost for several sites). A device failure is an error.
**Note the addition below is not an Event type but analysis that can be carried out from the Event logs:**
* **Trend analysis** The event logs should be regularly analyzed for indication that the event patterns \[INFO, WARN, ALERT, ERROR] may indicate an underlying Problem that may be addressed in advance of a serious service disruption.
### Response
At this point in the process, there are a number of response options available. Some of the options available are:
* Event logging: regardless of the event type, a good practice should be to record the event and the actions taken. The event can be logged as an Event Record or it can be left as an entry in the system log of the device.
* Alert and human intervention: for events that requires human intervention, the event needs to be escalated. The purpose of the alert is to notify the correct resource (person) to handle the event.
Incident Record: an incident can be generated when an exception is detected.
* [RFC](/wiki/Change_management "Change management"): in case of an [RFC](/wiki/Change_management "Change management") there are two scenarios underlined:
+ For an exception (two new network devices have been added without the necessary authorization)
+ For a change (in order to prevent a file system failure, the server needs to be upgraded. It may take a while for the change to start working.)
### Close event
* In the case of events that generated an [incident](/wiki/Incident_management "Incident management"), problem or change, these should be formally closed with a link to the appropriate record from the other process
* Informational events are simply logged and then used as input to other processes, such as Backup and Storage Management. Auto response events will typically be closed by the generation of a second event.

Background
----------
During 1383 and 1384, the expansion of the Old Swiss Confederacy collided with Austrian interests. The interests of Austria were further undermined in the [Pact of Constance](/wiki/Pact_of_Constance "Pact of Constance"), a union of [Zürich](/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich "Zürich"), [Zug](/wiki/Zug "Zug"), [Solothurn](/wiki/Solothurn "Solothurn") and 51 cities of Swabia.{{HDS\|8871\|Battle of Sempach}} In 1385, there were various attacks, without formal declaration of war or central organization, by forces of Zürich, Zug and Lucerne on the Austrian strongholds of [Rapperswil](/wiki/Rapperswil "Rapperswil"), [Rothenburg](/wiki/Rothenburg%2C_Switzerland "Rothenburg, Switzerland"), [Cham](/wiki/St._Andreas_Castle "St. Andreas Castle") and [Wolhusen](/wiki/Wolhusen "Wolhusen").
In 1384 the people of [Entlebuch](/wiki/Entlebuch "Entlebuch") receive the Lucerne citizenry and on [Epiphany](/wiki/Epiphany_%28holiday%29 "Epiphany (holiday)"), on 6 January 1386, Lucerne expanded its sphere of influence by providing the same right also to the people of [Sempach](/wiki/Sempach "Sempach").{{Cite journal \|last\=Steffen \|first\=Walter \|date\=2013 \|title\=Luzerns Befreiungsschlag \|url\=https://www.e\-periodica.ch/cntmng?pid\=zen\-001:2013:0::317 \|journal\=Zenit \|pages\=30 \|via\=\[\[E\-Periodica]]}} Lucerne entered further pacts with a number of towns and valleys under Austrian control, including, Meienberg, [Reichensee](/wiki/Reichensee "Reichensee") and [Willisau](/wiki/Willisau "Willisau"). These moves were the immediate cause of war. On 14 January, Lucerne called on the confederates for assistance. A local Austrian force defeated the confederate garrison at Meienberg on 28 January, killing over one hundred and forty Swiss soldiers. An armistice was called on 21 February, and negotiations were held in Zürich. Neither side had any real interest in ending the conflict at this point, and as the armistice ended, the dispute escalated into a full\-scale military confrontation.
Duke Leopold gathered his troops at [Brugg](/wiki/Brugg "Brugg"), consisting of his feudal vassals from [Swabia](/wiki/Swabia "Swabia"), the [Alsace](/wiki/Alsace "Alsace"), and [Tyrol](/wiki/Tyrol "Tyrol"), as well as troops from [Burgundy](/wiki/Burgundy "Burgundy"), [Milan](/wiki/Milan "Milan"), and even England. In the course of a few weeks, no less than 167 noblemen, both secular and of the church, declared war on the Swiss. These declarations were sent to the Swiss diet in 20 packets, in order to increase the effect of shock. On 24 June, a messenger from [Württemberg](/wiki/W%C3%BCrttemberg "Württemberg") brought 15 declarations of war. Before all letters had been read, the messenger from [Pfirt](/wiki/Pfirt "Pfirt") delivered another eight, and before he had finished speaking, letters from the lords of [Schaffhausen](/wiki/Schaffhausen "Schaffhausen") were brought in. Another eight messengers arrived on the following day.
The gathering of Austrian forces at Brugg suggested an intended attack on Zürich, and the confederate forces moved to protect that city. But Leopold marched south, to [Zofingen](/wiki/Zofingen "Zofingen") and on to Willisau, ostensibly with the intention of ravaging the Lucerne countryside and perhaps, ultimately, aiming for the city of Lucerne. The Austrian army had a troop of mowers with them to cut the crops and destroy the harvests along their route. The town of Willisau was plundered and burned, and the army moved on to [Sursee](/wiki/Sursee "Sursee") on [Lake Sempach](/wiki/Lake_Sempach "Lake Sempach"), and then towards Sempach on 9 July.
Leopold's men taunted those behind the walls of the town, and a knight waved a noose at them and promised them he would use it on their leaders. Another mockingly pointed to the soldiers setting fire to the ripe fields of grain, and asked them to send a breakfast to the reapers. From behind the walls, there was a shouted retort: "Lucerne and the allies will bring them breakfast!"
Confederate troops of Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden had marched back from Zürich once it became clear that this was not Leopold's target. The forces of Zürich had remained behind defending their own city, while those of Bern had not heeded the confederate call for assistance.

Battle
------
[thumb\|300px\|Depiction of the battle in the [Luzerner Schilling](/wiki/Luzerner_Schilling "Luzerner Schilling") (1513\)](/wiki/File:Sempach_Schilling.jpg "Sempach Schilling.jpg")
The Confederation army had presumably assembled at the bridge over the [Reuss River](/wiki/Reuss_River "Reuss River") at [Gisikon](/wiki/Gisikon "Gisikon"). It marched from there, hoping to catch Leopold still at Sempach where he could be pressed against the lake. Around noon, the two armies made contact about 2 km outside of Sempach. This was to the mutual surprise of both armies, which were both on the move and not in battle order. But both sides were willing to engage and formed ranks. The site of the battle is marked by the old battle chapel, which was originally consecrated in the year after the battle.
The Swiss held the wooded high ground close to the village of [Hildisrieden](/wiki/Hildisrieden "Hildisrieden"). Since the terrain was not deemed suitable for a cavalry attack, Leopold's knights dismounted, and because they did not have time to prepare for the engagement, they were forced to cut off the tips of their [poulaines](/wiki/Poulaine "Poulaine") which would have hindered their movement on foot. The Swiss chroniclers report how a huge pile of these shoe\-tips was found after the battle, and they are also depicted in the background of the battle scene in the *[Lucerne Chronicle](/wiki/Lucerne_Chronicle "Lucerne Chronicle")* of 1513\.
The main body of the Confederation army finally completed its deployment from the marching column, formed up, and aggressively attacked the knights from the flank. The Austrian force, however, formed a wide rank and threatened to surround the outnumbered confederates.
How and at what point the battle turned in favour of the confederates is a matter of debate.
It has been suggested that an important factor was the midday heat in July, which wore out the Austrian knights wearing heavy armour, much more than the lightly armed confederates (some of which had reportedly no other "armour" than a wooden plank tied to their left arm as a shield). Another factor may have been an underestimation of the confederates on the part of the nobility. According to the account by Tschudi, seeing the small strength of the confederate force, the nobles were concerned that if they sent the mercenaries in front, as would have been common practice, they might not see any action at all, as the mercenaries would finish the job on their own. Therefore, they insisted on taking the front ranks.
[thumb\|*[Winkelried\-Memorial](/wiki/Winkelried_Memorial "Winkelried Memorial")* by [Ferdinand Schlöth](/wiki/Ferdinand_Schl%C3%B6th "Ferdinand Schlöth") in Stans](/wiki/File:Stans_Winkelrieddenkmal.jpg "Stans Winkelrieddenkmal.jpg")
Traditional Swiss historiography since the 16th century has attributed the turning of the tide to the heroic deed of [Arnold von Winkelried](/wiki/Arnold_von_Winkelried "Arnold von Winkelried"), who opened a breach in the Habsburg lines by throwing himself into their pikes, taking them down with his body so that the confederates could attack through the opening.{{HDS\|24437\|Winkelried, Arnold}} Winkelried is usually shown as a legendary figure introduced to explain the Swiss victory against the odds, perhaps as late as a full century after the battle. The earliest evidence of the Winkelried legend is the depiction of the battle in the *Lucerne Chronicle* of 1513\.
As was the custom and a matter of honour in such a battle, each canton had one of their comrades carry their municipal flag in the lead. One such recorded was Rudolf Hön (today's spelling, Höhn, English, Hoehn), who represented [Arth](/wiki/Arth "Arth"), a municipality in the canton of Schwyz.
Volunteering to do this meant that he did not carry a weapon, either to defend himself or attack the enemy.
Thus, by leading his comrades into battle without a weapon, he diverted the attention of the enemy and sacrificed himself for the intended good of the Confederation.
For posterity, and recognition of the actual deed, Hön's name can be seen inscribed twice in the list of fallen on the inner wall of Sempach Battle Chapel (situated next to the battleground). One for being a confederate and the other as a flag bearer.
The oldest accounts of the battle are unambiguous in the judgement that the Swiss victory was against all odds and expectations, and is attributed to the grace of God.
In any case, the Swiss did break through the Austrian ranks and routed the enemy army completely. Duke Leopold, and with him a large number of [nobles](/wiki/Nobility "Nobility") and knights, were slain, including several members of the noble families of [Aarberg](/wiki/Aarberg "Aarberg"), [Baldegg](/wiki/Baldegg "Baldegg"), [Bechburg](/wiki/Bechburg "Bechburg"), [Büttikon](/wiki/B%C3%BCttikon "Büttikon"), [Eptingen](/wiki/Eptingen "Eptingen"), [Falkenstein](/wiki/Counts_of_Falkenstein_%28Rhineland-Palatinate%29 "Counts of Falkenstein (Rhineland-Palatinate)"), [Hallwil](/wiki/Hallwil "Hallwil"), [Reinach](/wiki/Reinach%2C_Aargau%23History "Reinach, Aargau#History"), [Rotberg](/wiki/Rotberg_%28family%29 "Rotberg (family)") and [Wetter](/wiki/Wetter_%28family%29 "Wetter (family)").
Another prominent casualty was [Otto I, Margrave of Baden\-Hachberg](/wiki/Otto_I%2C_Margrave_of_Baden-Hachberg "Otto I, Margrave of Baden-Hachberg").

"The Swiss held the wooded high ground close to the village of [Hildisrieden](/wiki/Hildisrieden \"Hildisrieden\"). Since the terrain was not deemed suitable for a cavalry attack, Leopold's knights dismounted, and because they did not have time to prepare for the engagement, they were forced to cut off the tips of their [poulaines](/wiki/Poulaine \"Poulaine\") which would have hindered their movement on foot. The Swiss chroniclers report how a huge pile of these shoe\\-tips was found after the battle, and they are also depicted in the background of the battle scene in the *[Lucerne Chronicle](/wiki/Lucerne_Chronicle \"Lucerne Chronicle\")* of 1513\\.",
"The main body of the Confederation army finally completed its deployment from the marching column, formed up, and aggressively attacked the knights from the flank. The Austrian force, however, formed a wide rank and threatened to surround the outnumbered confederates.",
"How and at what point the battle turned in favour of the confederates is a matter of debate.\nIt has been suggested that an important factor was the midday heat in July, which wore out the Austrian knights wearing heavy armour, much more than the lightly armed confederates (some of which had reportedly no other \"armour\" than a wooden plank tied to their left arm as a shield). Another factor may have been an underestimation of the confederates on the part of the nobility. According to the account by Tschudi, seeing the small strength of the confederate force, the nobles were concerned that if they sent the mercenaries in front, as would have been common practice, they might not see any action at all, as the mercenaries would finish the job on their own. Therefore, they insisted on taking the front ranks.\n[thumb\\|*[Winkelried\\-Memorial](/wiki/Winkelried_Memorial \"Winkelried Memorial\")* by [Ferdinand Schlöth](/wiki/Ferdinand_Schl%C3%B6th \"Ferdinand Schlöth\") in Stans](/wiki/File:Stans_Winkelrieddenkmal.jpg \"Stans Winkelrieddenkmal.jpg\")\nTraditional Swiss historiography since the 16th century has attributed the turning of the tide to the heroic deed of [Arnold von Winkelried](/wiki/Arnold_von_Winkelried \"Arnold von Winkelried\"), who opened a breach in the Habsburg lines by throwing himself into their pikes, taking them down with his body so that the confederates could attack through the opening.{{HDS\\|24437\\|Winkelried, Arnold}} Winkelried is usually shown as a legendary figure introduced to explain the Swiss victory against the odds, perhaps as late as a full century after the battle. The earliest evidence of the Winkelried legend is the depiction of the battle in the *Lucerne Chronicle* of 1513\\.",
"As was the custom and a matter of honour in such a battle, each canton had one of their comrades carry their municipal flag in the lead. One such recorded was Rudolf Hön (today's spelling, Höhn, English, Hoehn), who represented [Arth](/wiki/Arth \"Arth\"), a municipality in the canton of Schwyz.\nVolunteering to do this meant that he did not carry a weapon, either to defend himself or attack the enemy. \nThus, by leading his comrades into battle without a weapon, he diverted the attention of the enemy and sacrificed himself for the intended good of the Confederation.\nFor posterity, and recognition of the actual deed, Hön's name can be seen inscribed twice in the list of fallen on the inner wall of Sempach Battle Chapel (situated next to the battleground). One for being a confederate and the other as a flag bearer.",
"The oldest accounts of the battle are unambiguous in the judgement that the Swiss victory was against all odds and expectations, and is attributed to the grace of God.",
"In any case, the Swiss did break through the Austrian ranks and routed the enemy army completely. Duke Leopold, and with him a large number of [nobles](/wiki/Nobility \"Nobility\") and knights, were slain, including several members of the noble families of [Aarberg](/wiki/Aarberg \"Aarberg\"), [Baldegg](/wiki/Baldegg \"Baldegg\"), [Bechburg](/wiki/Bechburg \"Bechburg\"), [Büttikon](/wiki/B%C3%BCttikon \"Büttikon\"), [Eptingen](/wiki/Eptingen \"Eptingen\"), [Falkenstein](/wiki/Counts_of_Falkenstein_%28Rhineland-Palatinate%29 \"Counts of Falkenstein (Rhineland-Palatinate)\"), [Hallwil](/wiki/Hallwil \"Hallwil\"), [Reinach](/wiki/Reinach%2C_Aargau%23History \"Reinach, Aargau#History\"), [Rotberg](/wiki/Rotberg_%28family%29 \"Rotberg (family)\") and [Wetter](/wiki/Wetter_%28family%29 \"Wetter (family)\").",
"Another prominent casualty was [Otto I, Margrave of Baden\\-Hachberg](/wiki/Otto_I%2C_Margrave_of_Baden-Hachberg \"Otto I, Margrave of Baden-Hachberg\").",

History

The puppet [Independent State of Croatia](/wiki/Independent_State_of_Croatia "Independent State of Croatia") ceded by the [Treaties of Rome](/wiki/Treaties_of_Rome_%281941%29 "Treaties of Rome (1941)") of 18 May 1941, extensive [Adriatic](/wiki/Adriatic "Adriatic") coastal areas to the [Fascist](/wiki/Fascist "Fascist") [Kingdom of Italy](/wiki/Kingdom_of_Italy "Kingdom of Italy"). The ruling Italian [National Fascist Party](/wiki/National_Fascist_Party "National Fascist Party") was a patron of [Croatian](/wiki/Croats "Croats") fascist [Ustasha](/wiki/Ustasha "Ustasha") Movement. Italy placed Ustasha leader [Ante Pavelić](/wiki/Ante_Paveli%C4%87 "Ante Pavelić") as the head of Croatian puppet State after the dissolution of [Yugoslavia](/wiki/Yugoslavia "Yugoslavia") in the [April War](/wiki/April_War "April War") 1941\. Among the ceded areas was the city of [Split](/wiki/Split%2C_Croatia "Split, Croatia") in [Dalmatia](/wiki/Dalmatia "Dalmatia").
[thumb\|left\|[Governorate of Dalmatia](/wiki/Governorate_of_Dalmatia "Governorate of Dalmatia")](/wiki/File:GovernateOfDalmatia1941_43.png "GovernateOfDalmatia1941 43.png")
Italy created some provinces (administrative districts) in that region, that lasted until September 1943\. One was the province of Spalato. The administrative capital was the city of Spalato ([Italian](/wiki/Italian_language "Italian language") name for Split).Davide Rodogno. "Fascism European Empire". Section:Yugoslavia
The province had an area of 1,075 square kilometers and a population of 128,000 inhabitants. Most of the province's inhabitants were [Croats](/wiki/Croats "Croats"), but there were more than 3,000 [Dalmatian Italians](/wiki/Dalmatian_Italians "Dalmatian Italians") (in Split alone there were over 1,000 in 1940, even if very few in number compared to the mid\-19th century, when they were over a third of the city's inhabitants).Guerrino Perselli. *I Censimenti della popolazione dell'Istria, con Fiume e Trieste, e di alcune città della Dalmazia tra il 1850 e il 1936*. Unione Italiana \- Fiume \& Università Popolare di Trieste. Trieste \- Rovigno, 1993; p. 451 The island of [Lastovo](/wiki/Lastovo "Lastovo"), ceded after [World War I](/wiki/World_War_I "World War I") to Italy and renamed Lagosta, was united to the province.
The Italians started immediately a process of improvement in the underdeveloped area, creating needed infrastructures from hospitals to schools and sewages.
{{Quote\|''Between 1941 and 1943 the governor of Dalmatia, Giuseppe Bastianini, sent tens of thousands of tons of food to Dalmatia, for a monthly value of 13 million lire at the time (over eight million euros today). In the new provinces there was no health organization worthy of the name and schools were almost non\-existent. The Italian government established 27 medical clinics in the region entrusted to medical officers of the Royal Army, even making numerous midwives arrive from the Peninsula and establishing an itinerant health service, on trucks and motorboats, which carries out thousands of visits. The reclamation of 76,000 hectares of land and an agrarian reform were even started (for the Italian one it will be necessary to wait for 1950\) which in the spring of 1942 had already registered the requests of 22,000 Slavic peasants for access to the benefits provided by law. Over a thousand teachers were recruited for the schools, 531 of whom were Italian and in 1941 over 260 Dalmatian students (211 of whom were Croatian) received scholarships for universities in the Kingdom of Italy.'' Fabrizio Gregorutti}}
Under orders of [Mussolini](/wiki/Mussolini "Mussolini"), it was also started in July 1941 a process of forced [Italianization](/wiki/Italianization "Italianization") (related to the history of [Venetian Dalmatia](/wiki/Venetian_Dalmatia "Venetian Dalmatia")[Treccani:Spalato (in Italian)](http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/spalato_%28Enciclopedia-Italiana%29/)).

Because of this, in the end of summer 1941 there was a resistance movement of Croats against the Italian conquest, but without huge consequences until spring/summer 1943\.
Furthermore, in spring 1942 was created the football team [Associazione Calcio Spalato](/wiki/Calcio_Spalato "Calcio Spalato"), that was ruled by the Italian [FIGC](/wiki/FIGC "FIGC") in the Italian championships.
Meanwhile, in 1941 and 1942 many [Jews](/wiki/Jews "Jews") and some [Serbs](/wiki/Serbs "Serbs") took refuge in the city, escaping from the nearby regions ruled by the Croatian [Ustaše](/wiki/Usta%C5%A1e "Ustaše").
In September 1943 the German army took control of the region from the Italians, who had surrendered to the [Allies](/wiki/Allies_of_World_War_II "Allies of World War II"), and soon started a terrible guerrilla war between the German occupiers and [Josip Broz Tito](/wiki/Josip_Broz_Tito "Josip Broz Tito")'s partisans. The province was cancelled in the same September and later annexed to [Ante Pavelić](/wiki/Ante_Paveli%C4%87 "Ante Pavelić")'s puppet Croatia.

Plot
----
Dr. Craig Cooper, a physician, is caring for his dying employer, Ridgeley Waterman. A wealthy old curmudgeon, Waterman is cared for at home by his daughter Victoria, and a live\-in nurse, Miss Turner. Despite several attempts by Victoria, a [nymphomaniac](/wiki/Nymphomania "Nymphomania"), to seduce Dr. Cooper, she has so far been unsuccessful. Dr. Cooper soon learns that an unnamed old connection is attempting to [blackmail](/wiki/Blackmail "Blackmail") him for his providing of illegal [abortions](/wiki/Abortion "Abortion"). The blackmailer is demanding $50,000 in [hush money](/wiki/Hush_money "Hush money"). During one of his house calls to examine Victoria's father, Dr. Cooper expresses to Victoria that he is suffering "tax" problems. She tells him that she can acquire the money, and seduces him. Their affair consummated, Victoria proceeds to poison and kill her father with the motive of paying Dr. Cooper's debt with her father's [estate](/wiki/Estate_%28law%29 "Estate (law)").
With Dr. Cooper's assistance, Victoria avoids suspicion (Cooper rules the death a [stroke](/wiki/Stroke "Stroke")) and her estranged younger sister Gail returns from New York City for the reading of their father's [will](/wiki/Will_%28law%29 "Will (law)"). With Gail is Kate, a middle\-aged woman who lives with Gail, and who has an unspoken, unreciprocated sexual interest in her. The group meet for the reading of the will by the family lawyer, and much to Victoria's surprise, Gail is the primary [beneficiary](/wiki/Beneficiary "Beneficiary") of the estate. The will leaves Victoria only with the use of her deceased father's house and a small living allowance. Distraught, she becomes bedridden.
While caring for Victoria, Dr. Cooper learns of Gale's new status as a wealthy [heiress](/wiki/Beneficiary "Beneficiary"), and begins seducing her. When Kate realizes Gail and Dr. Cooper have begun a relationship, she dejectedly packs her things and returns to New York.
After spending an evening out with Dr. Cooper, Gail returns home, and offers to split the estate with Victoria, who refuses. Gail reveals that she has already offered to help Dr. Cooper with his "tax" issues, and Victoria learns of the budding relationship between her lover and her younger sister. She [bludgeons](/wiki/Bludgeon_%28weapon%29 "Bludgeon (weapon)") Gail to death with a lamp in the bathroom. Dr. Cooper soon returns to the house and finds Gail dead, with Victoria stoically painting a canvas in the next room with her sister's blood. In the bathroom, he finds Gail's corpse in the shower. Attempting to help cover up the crime, he carries Gail's body to the car, placing it in the trunk.
Returning to the house, Dr. Cooper embraces Victoria just as she sees Gail's corpse standing behind the door. It falls, revealing Dr. Cooper's blackmailer, grinning menacingly as the painting is revealed, showing Dr. Cooper with a skeleton draped across his arms.

### Free agents
Within WWE storyline, a "free agent" referred to a contracted wrestler who had not been assigned to one of the company's five brands at the time—Raw, SmackDown, NXT, [NXT UK](/wiki/NXT_UK_%28WWE_brand%29 "NXT UK (WWE brand)"), or [205 Live](/wiki/205_Live_%28WWE_brand%29 "205 Live (WWE brand)") (the latter two were subdivisions of NXT). Several wrestlers were made free agents due to injury, inactivity, or simply not being drafted despite being an active member of the rosters. Wrestlers who became free agents could ([kayfabe](/wiki/Kayfabe "Kayfabe")) sign with the brand of their choosing. The chart is organized by date.

In the mid\-13th century, the MacKenzies of Ord were granted lands in the west of Scotland by [King Alexander III](/wiki/King_Alexander_III "King Alexander III"). In 1820, Thomas MacKenzie of Ord inherited the estate embarked on rejuvenating the area. A large portion of MacKenzie's land was devoted to the cultivation of [barley](/wiki/Barley "Barley"), as such he decided to lease the land for a distillery to be built, this would also provide year round [employment](/wiki/Employment "Employment") for local men.[History of Glen Ord Distillery at Discovering Distilleries.org](http://www.discovering-distilleries.com/glen-ord-history.html)
At the time, there were nine small licensed distilleries operating in the area to compete with, the majority of which were being run by ten\-twelve of the [tenant farmers](/wiki/Tenant_farmers "Tenant farmers"). The whole of the barley crop was used in the distilleries as it was the fastest way of turning it into funds with which to pay the rent. Water from Loch nam Bonnach and Loch nan Eun flowed to two large [water wheels](/wiki/Water_wheel "Water wheel") from which the distillery derived its power. The water for the mashing was taken from a well known as the Cuckoo Well.
In its early days, the distillery operated under the name of the Ord Distillery Company. It employed 18 people and was founded in 1838 by licence holders Robert Johnstone and Donald MacLennan, who both eventually went [bankrupt](/wiki/Bankrupt "Bankrupt") in 1847\. In spite of bankruptcy, the distillery continued to operate illegally for a few years before they received another licence under new owners, Alexander McLennan and Thomas McGregor, in 1855\.{{Cite web\|url\=http://www.whiskymerchants.co.uk/\#/glenord/4520637097\|title\=History of Glen Ord Distillery\|website\=whiskymerchants.co.uk\|access\-date\=17 November 2008\|archive\-date\=2 October 2011\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20111002194359/http://www.whiskymerchants.co.uk/\#/glenord/4520637097\|url\-status\=dead}}
By the time of McLennan's death in 1870, Glen Ord was sold throughout the [British Colonies](/wiki/British_Colonies "British Colonies"), including places as far as [Singapore](/wiki/Singapore "Singapore") and [South Africa](/wiki/South_Africa "South Africa"). His widow married Alexander MacKenzie, a bank clerk from Beauly, who took over running the distillery in 1877\. Upon taking over the enterprise, McKenzie constructed several new buildings which were burnt down soon afterwards. In 1880, he began marketing and selling some of Glen Ord under the name of Glen Oran.
In 1896, MacKenzie sold the distillery to James Watson \& Son, whisky blenders of [Dundee](/wiki/Dundee "Dundee"), who purchased the enterprise for £15,800\. The company had previously acquired three other distilleries as they were primarily invested in selling blended high quality whiskies, particularly [Watson's No. 10](/wiki/Watson%27s_No._10 "Watson's No. 10").
With the onset of [World War I](/wiki/World_War_I "World War I") in 1917, the distillery was closed, along with a number of other similar businesses, by the government in order to preserve barley for food supplies. The distillery reopened after the war in 1919\. However, the Watsons sold the company only four years later to [Thomas Dewars \& Sons](/wiki/Thomas_Dewar%2C_1st_Baron_Dewar "Thomas Dewar, 1st Baron Dewar") of [Perth](/wiki/Perth%2C_Scotland "Perth, Scotland"), who amalgamated with the [Distillers Company](/wiki/Distillers_Company "Distillers Company"). They in turn, sold the distillery again in 1930 to Scottish Malt Distillers, a subsidiary company of Distillers Company Ltd.
The distillery closed its doors for a second time in 1939 due to [World War II](/wiki/World_War_II "World War II"). They did not open again until 1946\. Three years later, the distillery installed electrical wiring for the first time into the building, giving up the use of [paraffin lamps](/wiki/Kerosene_lamp "Kerosene lamp"). In 1958 the distillery went through another major change when the Meal mill closed. In 1961 the distillery ceased the use of their [floor maltings](/wiki/Malt%23Malts "Malt#Malts") and began using new [saladin boxes](/wiki/Saladin_box "Saladin box"). Five years later they greatly expanded production by tripling the number of coal\-fired stills from two to six, outfitting them with steam\-heated coils. They continued improvements in 1968 by constructing large mechanical floor maltings next to the distillery that could meet the needs of not only their operation but seven other Scottish Malt Distillers. Glen Ord, however, continued to use their own saladin boxes until 1983\.
In 1985 DCL, including its subsidiary Scottish Malt Distillers, merged with Guinness. The resultant grain and malt distilling enterprises were organised under the name of [United Distillers Ltd](/wiki/United_Distillers_Ltd "United Distillers Ltd"). In 1997 Guinness and [Grand Metropolitan](/wiki/Grand_Metropolitan "Grand Metropolitan") merged to form [Diageo](/wiki/Diageo "Diageo"), with head offices in London.
In 2001, the distillery began using [Biobed Modular Plant](/wiki/Biobed_Modular_Plant "Biobed Modular Plant") technology to treat [wastewater](/wiki/Wastewater "Wastewater") with low [chemical oxygen demand](/wiki/Chemical_oxygen_demand "Chemical oxygen demand") (COD) loads. The distillery was the first company in the [United Kingdom](/wiki/United_Kingdom "United Kingdom") to adopt such technology.{{Cite web\|url\=https://www.water\-technology.net/projects/glen\_ord/\|title\=Glen Ord Whisky Distillery Biobed Modular \- Water Technology\|website\=www.water\-technology.net}}
Today the distillery continues to produce Glen Ord whisky for Diageo, which includes the whisky in Johnnie Walker blends and Diageo’s Singleton series. The distillery offers public tours throughout the year with hours on a seasonal schedule.[Tour information for Glen Ord Distillery](http://www.discovering-distilleries.com/glenord)
Glen Ord also doubles their distillery capacities by a big new building with several new wash and spirit stills in 2014\.

Plot
----
The year is 1999 and Marty Burlsworth is awaiting the [funeral](/wiki/Funeral "Funeral") of his 22\-year\-old brother, Brandon. While others, including Marty's mother, Barbara, have accepted the loss and put their faith in God, Marty can not do that as he does not understand why God would take away his brother on the cusp of his stardom in the NFL. That doubt is shared by an imaginary stranger, The Farmer, who does what he can to reinforce Marty's anger.
As preparations for the funeral begin, the story rewinds to when Brandon was a 12\-year\-old with big dreams of playing for the University of Arkansas, and then his days playing high school football for [Harrison High School](/wiki/Harrison_High_School_%28Arkansas%29 "Harrison High School (Arkansas)") football coach Tommy Tice. It is then that Marty and Brandon's long\-estranged father, Leo, an alcoholic former musician, tries to get back into their and Barbara's lives. Marty does his best to protect his younger brother, due to being 17 years older than him and often mistaken for being his father.
When Brandon does not get a scholarship to become an Arkansas Razorback as an offensive guard, he is determined to join the team as a [walk\-on](/wiki/Walk-on_%28sports%29 "Walk-on (sports)") in 1994\. Offensive line coach Mike Bender does not believe Brandon will make the team, due to Brandon not being large enough for a [Division I](/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_Football_Bowl_Subdivision "NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision")\-level college lineman. The sight of him is not lost on other players such as Nathan Ward, Anthony Lucas, nor Grant Garrett{{snd}}the latter of whom is assigned as Brandon's roommate{{snd}}and they make fun of him relentlessly.
But with hard work, Brandon sheds fat and puts on muscle, eventually proving himself on the field and turning around everyone's opinion of him. By his sophomore season, Arkansas head coach [Danny Ford](/wiki/Danny_Ford "Danny Ford") gives him a scholarship, and Brandon earns a starting position at right guard on the offensive line. Inspired by Brandon, the team achieves near greatness in his senior year of 1998, all by working and practicing hard. After the season is over, Brandon is named an All\-American, and is then drafted in the 3rd round of the [1999 NFL draft](/wiki/1999_NFL_draft "1999 NFL draft") by the Indianapolis Colts. After attending a workout session in Indianapolis, his position coach tells him that he foresees a great career ahead for him.
Eleven days after being drafted, Brandon is killed when he is hit head\-on by a tractor trailer. His brother, Marty struggles with the unfairness of his brother's loss as the farmer continues to be the voice of doubt—challenging the love of a God who could allow this to happen. But as Marty leaves the stadium floor where the players have brought in flowers, his despair is obvious. He reaches the top of the stadium and turns to look at the mass of flowers the players brought to the field and sees a very definite statement of Brandon's message to everyone spelled out by the flowers: "We Trust". Marty returns to the scene of a joyful celebration of Brandon's life and message, clearly feeling a new measure of faith for his own life thanks to his brother.

In philosophical theism
-----------------------
The dilemma can be modified to apply to philosophical theism, where it is still the object of theological and philosophical discussion, largely within the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions. As [German](/wiki/Germans "Germans") [philosopher](/wiki/Philosophy "Philosophy") and [mathematician](/wiki/Mathematician "Mathematician") [Gottfried Leibniz](/wiki/Gottfried_Leibniz "Gottfried Leibniz") presented this version of the dilemma: "It is generally agreed that whatever God wills is good and just. But there remains the question whether it is good and just because God wills it or whether God wills it because it is good and just; in other words, whether justice and Goodness are arbitrary or whether they belong to the necessary and eternal truths about the nature of things."{{sfn\|Leibniz 1702(?)\|p\=516}}
Many philosophers and theologians have addressed the Euthyphro dilemma since the time of Plato, though not always with reference to the Platonic dialogue. According to scholar [Terence Irwin](/wiki/Terence_Irwin "Terence Irwin"), the issue and its connection with Plato was revived by Ralph Cudworth and Samuel Clarke in the 17th and 18th centuries.{{sfn\|Irwin\|2006}} More recently, it has received a great deal of attention from contemporary philosophers working in [metaethics](/wiki/Metaethics "Metaethics") and the [philosophy of religion](/wiki/Philosophy_of_religion "Philosophy of religion"). Philosophers and theologians aiming to defend theism against the threat of the dilemma have developed a variety of responses.
### God commands it because it is right
#### Supporters
The first horn of the dilemma (i.e. that which is right is commanded by God *because it is right*) goes by a variety of names, including [intellectualism](/wiki/Intellectualism "Intellectualism"), [rationalism](/wiki/Rationalism "Rationalism"), [realism](/wiki/Moral_realism "Moral realism"), [naturalism](/wiki/Natural_law "Natural law"), and [objectivism](/wiki/Moral_universalism "Moral universalism"). Roughly, it is the view that there are independent moral standards: some actions are right or wrong in themselves, independent of God's commands. This is the view accepted by Socrates and Euthyphro in Plato's dialogue. The [Mu'tazilah](/wiki/Mu%27tazilah "Mu'tazilah") school of [Islamic theology](/wiki/Islamic_theology "Islamic theology") also defended the view (with, for example, [Nazzam](/wiki/Ibrahim_an-Nazzam "Ibrahim an-Nazzam") maintaining that God is powerless to engage in injustice or lying),{{sfn\|Wolfson\|1976\|p\=579}} as did the [Islamic philosopher](/wiki/Islamic_philosophy "Islamic philosophy") [Averroes](/wiki/Averroes "Averroes").{{sfn\|Hourani\|1962\|pp\=13–40}} [Thomas Aquinas](/wiki/Thomas_Aquinas "Thomas Aquinas") never explicitly addresses the Euthyphro dilemma, but Aquinas scholars often put him on this side of the issue.{{sfn\|Haldane\|1989\|p\=40}}{{sfn\|Irwin\|2007\|loc\=I, pp. 553–556}} Aquinas draws a distinction between what is good or evil in itself and what is good or evil because of God's commands,{{sfn\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\|loc\=2a2ae \[http://www.newadvent.org/summa/3057\.htm\#article2 57\.2]}} with unchangeable moral standards forming the bulk of [natural law](/wiki/Natural_law "Natural law").{{sfn\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\|loc\=2a1ae \[http://www.newadvent.org/summa/2094\.htm\#article5 94\.5]}} Thus he contends that not even God can change the [Ten Commandments](/wiki/Ten_Commandments "Ten Commandments") (adding, however, that God *can* change what individuals deserve in particular cases, in what might look like special dispensations to murder or stealing).{{sfn\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\|loc\=1a2ae \[http://www.newadvent.org/summa/2100\.htm\#article8 100\.8]}} Among later [Scholastics](/wiki/Scholastics "Scholastics"), [Gabriel Vásquez](/wiki/Gabriel_V%C3%A1squez "Gabriel Vásquez") is particularly clear\-cut about obligations existing prior to anyone's will, even God's.{{sfn\|Pink\|2005}}{{sfn\|Irwin\|2007\|loc\=II, pp. 6–10}} [Modern](/wiki/Early_modern_period "Early modern period") natural law theory saw [Grotius](/wiki/Grotius "Grotius") and [Leibniz](/wiki/Gottfried_Wilhelm_Leibniz "Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz") also putting morality prior to [God's will](/wiki/Will_of_God "Will of God"), comparing moral truths to unchangeable mathematical truths, and engaging [voluntarists](/wiki/Voluntarism_%28metaphysics%29 "Voluntarism (metaphysics)") like [Pufendorf](/wiki/Pufendorf "Pufendorf") in philosophical controversy.See esp. {{harvnb\|Grotius\|1625\|loc\=1\.1\.10}} and {{harvnb\|Leibniz 1702(?)}}; see also {{harvnb\|Leibniz\|1706\|pp\=64–75}}. [Cambridge Platonists](/wiki/Cambridge_Platonists "Cambridge Platonists") like [Benjamin Whichcote](/wiki/Benjamin_Whichcote "Benjamin Whichcote") and [Ralph Cudworth](/wiki/Ralph_Cudworth "Ralph Cudworth") mounted seminal attacks on voluntarist theories, paving the way for the later rationalist [metaethics](/wiki/Metaethics "Metaethics") of [Samuel Clarke](/wiki/Samuel_Clarke "Samuel Clarke") and [Richard Price](/wiki/Richard_Price "Richard Price");{{sfn\|Gill\|1999\|loc\=esp. pp. 272–74}}{{sfn\|Mackie\|1980\|loc\=Chapters 2, 8}}{{sfn\|Gill\|2011}} what emerged was a view on which eternal moral standards, though dependent on God in some way, exist independently of God's will and prior to God's commands. Contemporary [philosophers of religion](/wiki/Philosophy_of_religion "Philosophy of religion") who embrace this horn of the Euthyphro dilemma include [Richard Swinburne](/wiki/Richard_Swinburne "Richard Swinburne"){{sfn\|Swinburne\|1993\|pp\=209–216}}{{sfn\|Swinburne\|2008}} and [T. J. Mawson](/wiki/T._J._Mawson "T. J. Mawson"){{sfn\|Mawson\|2008}} (though see below for complications).
#### Criticisms
* [Sovereignty](/wiki/Sovereignty "Sovereignty"): If there are moral standards independent of God's will, then "\[t]here is something over which God is not sovereign. God is bound by the laws of morality instead of being their establisher. Moreover, God depends for his goodness on the extent to which he conforms to an independent moral standard. Thus, God is not absolutely independent."{{sfn\|Murray\|Rea\|2008\|p\=247}} 18th\-century philosopher [Richard Price](/wiki/Richard_Price "Richard Price"), who takes the first horn and thus sees morality as "necessary and immutable", sets out the objection as follows: "It may seem that this is setting up something distinct from God, which is independent of him, and equally eternal and necessary."{{sfn\|Price\|1769\|loc\=Chapter 5}}
* [Omnipotence](/wiki/Omnipotence "Omnipotence"): These moral standards would limit God's power: not even God could oppose them by commanding what is evil and thereby making it good. This point was influential in Islamic theology: "In relation to God, objective values appeared as a limiting factor to His power to do as He wills... [Ash'ari](/wiki/Abu_al-Hasan_al-Ash%27ari "Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari") got rid of the whole problem by denying the existence of objective values which might act as a standard for God's action."{{sfn\|Hourani\|1960\|p\=276}} Similar concerns drove the medieval voluntarists [Duns Scotus](/wiki/Duns_Scotus "Duns Scotus") and [William of Ockham](/wiki/William_of_Ockham "William of Ockham").{{sfn\|Haldane\|1989\|pp\=42–43}} As modern philosopher [Richard Swinburne](/wiki/Richard_Swinburne "Richard Swinburne") puts the point, this horn "seems to place a restriction on God's power if he cannot make any action which he chooses obligatory... \[and also] it seems to limit what God can command us to do. God, if he is to be God, cannot command us to do what, independently of his will, is wrong."{{sfn\|Swinburne\|1993\|p\=210}}
* [Freedom of the will](/wiki/Free_will "Free will"): Moreover, these moral standards would limit God's freedom of will: God could not command anything opposed to them, and perhaps would have no choice but to command in accordance with them.See {{harvnb\|Adams\|1999\|pp\=47–49}} for a detailed discussion of this problem; also see {{harvnb\|Suárez\|1872\|loc\=2\.6\.22–23}}. As [Mark Murphy](/wiki/Mark_Murphy_%28philosopher%29 "Mark Murphy (philosopher)") puts the point, "if moral requirements existed prior to God's willing them, requirements that an impeccable God could not violate, God's liberty would be compromised."{{sfn\|Murphy\|2012\|loc\=\[http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/voluntarism\-theological/\#2\.1 Metaethical theological voluntarism: Considerations in Favor]}}
* [Morality without God](/wiki/Secular_morality "Secular morality"): If there are moral standards independent of God, then morality would retain its authority even if God did not exist. This conclusion was explicitly (and notoriously) drawn by early modern political theorist [Hugo Grotius](/wiki/Hugo_Grotius "Hugo Grotius"): "What we have been saying \[about the natural law] would have a degree of validity even if we should concede that which cannot be conceded without the utmost wickedness, that there is no God, or that the affairs of men are of no concern to him"{{sfn\|Grotius\|1625\|loc\=Prolegomenon, 11}} On such a view, God is no longer a "law\-giver" but at most a "law\-transmitter" who plays no vital role in the foundations of morality.{{sfn\|Kretzmann\|1999\|p\=423}} [Nontheists](/wiki/Nontheism "Nontheism") have capitalized on this point, largely as a way of disarming [moral arguments for God's existence](/wiki/Argument_from_morality "Argument from morality"): if morality does not depend on God in the first place, such arguments stumble at the starting gate.{{sfn\|Oppy\|2009\|pp\=352–356}}
#### Responses to criticisms
Contemporary philosophers Joshua Hoffman and Gary S. Rosenkrantz take the first horn of the dilemma, branding divine command theory a "subjective theory of value" that makes morality arbitrary.{{sfn\|Hoffman\|Rosenkrantz\|2002\|pp\=143–145}} They accept a theory of morality on which, "right and wrong, good and bad, are in a sense independent of what *anyone* believes, wants, or prefers."{{sfn\|Hoffman\|Rosenkrantz\|2002\|pp\=145–147}} They do not address the problems mentioned above with the first horn, but do consider a related problem concerning God's omnipotence: namely, that it might be handicapped by his inability to bring about what is independently evil. To this they reply that God is omnipotent, even though there are states of affairs he cannot bring about: omnipotence is a matter of "maximal power", not an ability to bring about all possible states of affairs. And supposing that it is impossible for God not to exist, then since there cannot be more than one omnipotent being, it is therefore impossible for any being to have more power than God (e.g., a being who is omnipotent but not [omnibenevolent](/wiki/Omnibenevolent "Omnibenevolent")). Thus God's omnipotence remains intact.{{sfn\|Hoffman\|Rosenkrantz\|2002\|pp\=166, 173–176}}
[Richard Swinburne](/wiki/Richard_Swinburne "Richard Swinburne") and [T. J. Mawson](/wiki/T._J._Mawson "T. J. Mawson") have a slightly more complicated view. They both take the first horn of the dilemma when it comes to *necessary* moral truths. But divine commands are not totally irrelevant, for God and his will can still effect *contingent* moral truths.{{sfn\|Swinburne\|1974}}{{sfn\|Swinburne\|1993\|loc\=Chapter 11}}{{sfn\|Swinburne\|2008}}{{sfn\|Mawson\|2008}} On the one hand, the most fundamental moral truths hold true regardless of whether God exists or what God has commanded: "Genocide and torturing children are wrong and would remain so whatever commands any person issued."{{sfn\|Swinburne\|1993\|p\=210}} This is because, according to Swinburne, such truths are true as a matter of [logical necessity](/wiki/Logical_truth "Logical truth"): like the laws of logic, one cannot deny them without contradiction.{{sfn\|Swinburne\|1993\|p\=192ff}} This parallel offers a solution to the aforementioned problems of God's sovereignty, omnipotence, and freedom: namely, that these necessary truths of morality pose no more of a threat than the laws of logic.{{sfn\|Swinburne\|1993\|loc\=Chapter 9}}{{sfn\|Swinburne\|1974\|pp\=217–222}}{{sfn\|Mawson\|2008\|pp\=26–29}} On the other hand, there is still an important role for God's will. First, there are some divine commands that can directly create moral obligations: e.g., the command to worship on Sundays instead of on Tuesdays.{{sfn\|Swinburne\|1974\|p\=211}} Notably, not even these commands, for which Swinburne and Mawson take the second horn of the dilemma, have ultimate, underived authority. Rather, they create obligations only because of God's role as creator and sustainer and indeed owner of the universe, together with the necessary moral truth that we owe some limited consideration to benefactors and owners.{{sfn\|Swinburne\|1974\|pp\=211–215}}{{sfn\|Swinburne\|2008\|pp\=10–12}} Second, God can make an *indirect* moral difference by deciding what sort of universe to create. For example, whether a public policy is morally good might indirectly depend on God's creative acts: the policy's goodness or badness might depend on its effects, and those effects would in turn depend on the sort of universe God has decided to create.{{sfn\|Swinburne\|2008\|p\=10}}{{sfn\|Mawson\|2008\|pp\=29–32}}
### It is right because God commands it
#### Supporters
The second horn of the dilemma (i.e. that which is right is right *because it is commanded by God*) is sometimes known as [divine command theory](/wiki/Divine_command_theory "Divine command theory") or [voluntarism](/wiki/Voluntarism_%28metaphysics%29 "Voluntarism (metaphysics)"). Roughly, it is the view that there are no moral standards other than God's will: without God's commands, nothing would be right or wrong. This view was partially defended by [Duns Scotus](/wiki/Duns_Scotus "Duns Scotus"), who argued that not all [Ten Commandments](/wiki/Ten_Commandments "Ten Commandments") belong to the [Natural Law](/wiki/Natural_Law "Natural Law") in the strictest sense.{{cite book \|last1\=Scotus \|first1\=John Duns \|title\=Selected Writings on Ethics \|year\=2017 \|publisher\=Oxford University Press \|isbn\=978\-0\-19\-967341\-4 \|pages\=Ordinatio III, D. 37, "Do all the precepts of the Decalogue belong to the natural law?"}} Scotus held that while our duties to God (the first three commandments, traditionally thought of as the First Tablet) are [self\-evident](/wiki/Self-evidence "Self-evidence"), [true by definition](/wiki/Analytic_proposition "Analytic proposition"), and unchangeable even by God, our duties to others (found on the second tablet) were arbitrarily willed by God and are within his power to revoke and replace (although, the third commandment, to honour the Sabbath and keep it holy, has a little of both, as we are absolutely obliged to render worship to God, but there is no obligation in natural law to do it on this day or that). Scotus does note, however that the last seven commandments "*are highly consonant with \[the natural law], though they do not follow necessarily from first practical principles that are known in virtue of their terms and are necessarily known by any intellect \[that understands their terms. And it is certain that all the precepts of the second table belong to the natural law in this second way, since their rectitude is highly consonant with first practical principles that are known necessarily*".{{cite book \|last1\=Scotus \|first1\=John Duns \|title\=Selected Writings on Ethics \|year\=2017 \|publisher\=Oxford University Press \|isbn\=978\-0\-19\-967341\-4 \|pages\=Ordinatio III, D. 37, Q. UN, para. 25, 26}}{{sfn\|Williams\|2013\|loc\=\[http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/duns\-scotus/\#NatLaw Ethics and Moral Psychology: The natural law]}}{{sfn\|Williams\|2002\|pp\=312–316}}See {{harvnb\|Cross\|1999\|p\=92}} for the view that our duties to others "hold automatically \[i.e., without God's commands] unless God commands otherwise." Scotus justifies this position with the example of a peaceful society, noting that the possession of private property is not necessary to have a peaceful society, but that "those of weak character" would be more easily made peaceful with private property than without.
[William of Ockham](/wiki/William_of_Ockham "William of Ockham") went further, contending that (since there is no contradiction in it) God could command us not to love GodWilliam of Ockham. *Quodlibeta* 3\.13 and even to *hate* God.William of Ockham. *Reportata* 4\.16; see also {{harvnb\|Osborne\|2005}} Later [Scholastics](/wiki/Scholastics "Scholastics") like [Pierre D'Ailly](/wiki/Pierre_D%27Ailly "Pierre D'Ailly") and his student [Jean de Gerson](/wiki/Jean_Gerson "Jean Gerson") explicitly confronted the Euthyphro dilemma, taking the voluntarist position that God does not "command good actions because they are good or prohibit evil ones because they are evil; but... these are therefore good because they are commanded and evil because prohibited."D'Ailly, Pierre. *Questions on the Books of the Sentences* 1\.14; quoted in {{harvnb\|Wainwright\|2005\|p\=74}}, quoting Idziak 63–4; see {{harvnb\|Wainwright\|2005\|p\=74}} for similar quotes from Gerson. [Protestant](/wiki/Protestant "Protestant") reformers [Martin Luther](/wiki/Martin_Luther "Martin Luther") and [John Calvin](/wiki/John_Calvin "John Calvin") both stressed the absolute sovereignty of God's will, with Luther writing that "for \[God's] will there is no cause or reason that can be laid down as a rule or measure for it",{{sfn\|Luther\|1525\|loc\=§88}} and Calvin writing that "everything which \[God] wills must be held to be righteous by the mere fact of his willing it."{{sfn\|Calvin\|1536\|loc\= 3\.23\.2}} The voluntarist emphasis on God's absolute power was carried further by [Descartes](/wiki/Descartes "Descartes"), who notoriously held that God had freely created the eternal truths of [logic](/wiki/Logic "Logic") and [mathematics](/wiki/Mathematics "Mathematics"), and that God was therefore capable of giving [circles](/wiki/Circles "Circles") unequal [radii](/wiki/Radii "Radii"),{{sfn\|Descartes\|loc\=III 25}} giving [triangles](/wiki/Triangles "Triangles") other than 180 internal degrees, and even making [contradictions](/wiki/Contradictions "Contradictions") true.{{sfn\|Descartes\|loc\=III 235}} Descartes explicitly seconded Ockham: "why should \[God] not have been able to give this command \[i.e., the command to hate God] to one of his creatures?"{{sfn\|Descartes\|loc\=III 343}} [Thomas Hobbes](/wiki/Thomas_Hobbes "Thomas Hobbes") notoriously reduced the justice of God to "irresistible power"Hobbes. "Of Liberty and Necessity" 12 (drawing the complaint of [Bishop Bramhall](/wiki/John_Bramhall "John Bramhall") that this "overturns... all law").Hobbes. "A Defense of True Liberty", 12f And [William Paley](/wiki/William_Paley "William Paley") held that all moral obligations bottom out in the self\-interested "urge" to avoid [Hell](/wiki/Hell "Hell") and enter [Heaven](/wiki/Heaven "Heaven") by acting in accord with God's commands.Paley, William. "Principles" 2\.3 Islam's [Ash'arite theologians](/wiki/Ash%27ari "Ash'ari"), [al\-Ghazali](/wiki/Al-Ghazali "Al-Ghazali") foremost among them, embraced voluntarism: scholar George Hourani writes that the view "was probably more prominent and widespread in Islam than in any other civilization."{{sfn\|Hourani\|1960\|p\=270}}See {{harvnb\|Frank\|1994\|pp\=32–36}} for the view that al\-Ghazali incorporated rationalist elements that moved him away from traditional Ash'arite voluntarism. [Wittgenstein](/wiki/Wittgenstein "Wittgenstein") said that of "the two interpretations of the Essence of the Good", that which holds that "the Good is good, in virtue of the fact that God wills it" is "the deeper", while that which holds that "God wills the good, because it is good" is "the shallow, rationalistic one, in that it behaves 'as though' that which is good could be given some further foundation".{{harvnb\|Janik\|Toulmin\|1973\|p\=194}}. The passage is also quoted in {{Tlx\|harvnb\|Baggett\|2002\|p\=19}}. Today, divine command theory is defended by many philosophers of religion, though typically in a restricted form (see [below](/wiki/%23Restricted_divine_command_theory "#Restricted divine command theory")).
#### Criticisms
This horn of the dilemma also faces several problems:
* No reasons for morality: If there is no moral standard other than God's will, then God's commands are arbitrary (i.e., based on pure whimsy or caprice). This would mean that morality is ultimately not based on reasons: "if theological voluntarism is true, then God's commands/intentions must be arbitrary; \[but] it cannot be that morality could wholly depend on something arbitrary... \[for] when we say that some moral state of affairs obtains, we take it that there is a reason for that moral state of affairs obtaining rather than another."{{sfn\|Murphy\|2012\|loc\=\[http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/voluntarism\-theological/\#3\.2 Perennial difficulties for metaethical theological voluntarism: Theological voluntarism and arbitrariness]}} And as Michael J. Murray and [Michael Rea](/wiki/Michael_Rea "Michael Rea") put it, this would also "cas\[t] doubt on the notion that morality is genuinely objective."{{sfn\|Murray\|Rea\|2008\|pp\=246–247}} An additional problem is that it is difficult to explain how true moral actions can exist if one acts only out of fear of God or in an attempt to be rewarded by him.{{sfn\|Doomen\|2011}}
* No reasons for God: This arbitrariness would also jeopardize God's status as a [wise](/wiki/Wisdom "Wisdom") and [rational](/wiki/Rationality "Rationality") being, one who always acts on good reasons. As Leibniz writes: "Where will be his justice and his wisdom if he has only a certain despotic power, if arbitrary will takes the place of reasonableness, and if in accord with the definition of tyrants, justice consists in that which is pleasing to the most powerful? Besides it seems that every act of willing supposes some reason for the willing and this reason, of course, must precede the act."{{sfn\|Leibniz\|1686\|loc\=II}}
* Anything goes:{{sfn\|Murray\|Rea\|2008\|p\=246}} This arbitrariness would also mean that *anything* could become good, and *anything* could become bad, merely upon God's command. Thus if God commanded us "to gratuitously inflict pain on each other"{{sfn\|Alston\|2002\|p\=285}} or to engage in "cruelty for its own sake"{{sfn\|Adams\|1973}} or to hold an "annual sacrifice of randomly selected ten\-year\-olds in a particularly gruesome ritual that involves excruciating and prolonged suffering for its victims",{{sfn\|Morriston\|2009\|p\=249}} then we would be morally obligated to do so. As 17th\-century philosopher [Ralph Cudworth](/wiki/Ralph_Cudworth "Ralph Cudworth") put it: "nothing can be imagined so grossly wicked, or so foully unjust or dishonest, but if it were supposed to be commanded by this omnipotent Deity, must needs upon that hypothesis forthwith become holy, just, and righteous."{{sfn\|Cudworth\|1731\|loc\=1\.1\.5}}
* Moral [contingency](/wiki/Contingency_%28philosophy%29 "Contingency (philosophy)"): If morality depends on the [perfectly free will](/wiki/Free_will "Free will") of God, morality would lose its necessity: "If nothing prevents God from loving things that are different from what God actually loves, then goodness can change [from world to world](/wiki/Possible_world "Possible world") or time to time. This is obviously objectionable to those who believe that claims about morality are, if true, necessarily true."{{sfn\|Murray\|Rea\|2008\|p\=246}} In other words, no action is necessarily moral: any right action could have easily been wrong, if God had so decided, and an action which is right today could easily become wrong tomorrow, if God so decides. Indeed, some have argued that divine command theory is incompatible with ordinary conceptions of [moral supervenience](/wiki/Moral_supervenience "Moral supervenience").{{sfn\|Klagge\|1984\|pp\=374–375}}
* Why do God's commands obligate?: Mere commands do not create obligations unless the commander has some commanding authority. But this commanding authority cannot itself be based on those very commands (i.e., a command to obey commands), otherwise a vicious circle results. So, in order for God's commands to obligate us, he must derive commanding authority from some source other than his own will. As Cudworth put it: "For it was never heard of, that any one founded all his authority of commanding others, and others {{sic}} obligation or duty to obey his commands, in a law of his own making, that men should be required, obliged, or bound to obey him. Wherefore since the thing willed in all laws is not that men should be bound or obliged to obey; this thing cannot be the product of the meer {{sic}} will of the commander, but it must proceed from something else; namely, the right or authority of the commander."{{sfn\|Cudworth\|1731\|loc\=1\.2\.4}} To avoid the circle, one might say our obligation comes from gratitude to God for creating us. But this presupposes some sort of independent moral standard obligating us to be grateful to our benefactors. As 18th\-century philosopher [Francis Hutcheson](/wiki/Francis_Hutcheson_%28philosopher%29 "Francis Hutcheson (philosopher)") writes: "Is the Reason exciting to concur with the Deity this, 'The Deity is our Benefactor?' Then what Reason excites to concur with Benefactors?"{{sfn\|Hutcheson\|1742\|loc\=I}} Or finally, one might resort to [Hobbes](/wiki/Thomas_Hobbes "Thomas Hobbes")'s view: "The right of nature whereby God reigneth over men, and punisheth those that break his laws, is to be derived, not from his creating them (as if he required obedience, as of gratitude for his benefits), but from his *irresistible power*."{{sfn\|Hobbes\|loc\=31\.5}} In other words, [might makes right](/wiki/Might_makes_right "Might makes right").
* God's goodness: If *all* goodness is a matter of God's will, then what shall become of *God's* goodness? Thus [William P. Alston](/wiki/William_P._Alston "William P. Alston") writes, "since the standards of moral goodness are set by divine commands, to say that God is morally good is just to say that he obeys his own commands... that God practises what he preaches, whatever that might be;"{{sfn\|Alston\|2002\|p\=285}} Hutcheson deems such a view "an insignificant [tautology](/wiki/Tautology_%28logic%29 "Tautology (logic)"), amounting to no more than this, 'That God wills what he wills.{{'"}}{{sfn\|Hutcheson\|1738\|loc\=2\.7\.5}} Alternatively, as Leibniz puts it, divine command theorists "deprive God of the designation *good*: for what cause could one have to praise him for what he does, if in doing something quite different he would have done equally well?"{{sfn\|Leibniz\|1710\|p\=176}} A related point is raised by [C. S. Lewis](/wiki/C._S._Lewis "C. S. Lewis"): "if good is to be *defined* as what God commands, then the goodness of God Himself is emptied of meaning and the commands of an omnipotent fiend would have the same claim on us as those of the 'righteous Lord.{{'"}}{{sfn\|Lewis\|1943\|p\=79}} Or again Leibniz: "this opinion would hardly distinguish God from the devil."{{sfn\|Leibniz 1702(?)\|p\=561}} That is, since divine command theory trivializes God's goodness, it is incapable of explaining the difference between God and an all\-powerful demon.
* The [is\-ought problem](/wiki/Is-ought_problem "Is-ought problem") and the [naturalistic fallacy](/wiki/Naturalistic_fallacy "Naturalistic fallacy"): According to [David Hume](/wiki/David_Hume "David Hume"), it is hard to see how moral propositions featuring the relation *ought* could ever be deduced from ordinary *is* propositions, such as "the being of a God."{{sfn\|Hume\|1739\|loc\=3\.1\.1\.27}} Divine command theory is thus guilty of deducing moral *oughts* from ordinary *ises* about God's commands.{{sfn\|Wierenga\|1983\|p\=397}} In a similar vein, [G. E. Moore](/wiki/G._E._Moore "G. E. Moore") argued (with his [open question argument](/wiki/Open_question_argument "Open question argument")) that the notion *good* is indefinable, and any attempts to analyze it in [naturalistic](/wiki/Naturalism_%28philosophy%29 "Naturalism (philosophy)") or [metaphysical](/wiki/Metaphysics "Metaphysics") terms are guilty of the so\-called "naturalistic fallacy."{{sfn\|Moore\|1903\|loc\=Chapters 1, 2, 4}} This would block any theory which analyzes morality in terms of God's will: and indeed, in a later discussion of divine command theory, Moore concluded that "when we assert any action to be right or wrong, we are not merely making an assertion about the attitude of mind towards it of any being or set of beings whatever."{{sfn\|Moore\|1912\|p\=79}}
* No morality without God: If all morality is a matter of God's will, then if God does not exist, there is no morality. This is the thought captured in the slogan ([often attributed to Dostoevsky](/wiki/q:Fyodor_Dostoyevsky%23The_Brothers_Karamazov_%281879%E2%80%931880%29 "Fyodor Dostoyevsky#The Brothers Karamazov (1879–1880)")) "[If God does not exist, everything is permitted.](/wiki/The_Brothers_Karamazov "The Brothers Karamazov")" Divine command theorists disagree over whether this is a problem for their view or a virtue of their view. [Many argue](/wiki/Argument_from_morality "Argument from morality") that morality does indeed require God's existence, and that this is in fact a problem for atheism. But divine command theorist [Robert Merrihew Adams](/wiki/Robert_Merrihew_Adams "Robert Merrihew Adams") contends that this idea ("that no actions would be ethically wrong if there were not a loving God") is one that "will seem (at least initially) implausible to many", and that his theory must "dispel \[an] air of paradox."{{sfn\|Adams\|1979\|p\=77}}
#### Restricted divine command theory
One common response to the Euthyphro dilemma centers on a distinction between *value* and *obligation*. Obligation, which concerns rightness and wrongness (or what is required, forbidden, or permissible), is given a voluntarist treatment. But value, which concerns goodness and badness, is treated as independent of divine commands. The result is a *restricted* divine command theory that applies only to a specific region of morality: the [deontic](/wiki/Deontic "Deontic") region of obligation. This response is found in [Francisco Suárez](/wiki/Francisco_Su%C3%A1rez "Francisco Suárez")'s discussion of natural law and voluntarism in *De legibus*{{sfn\|Suárez\|1872\|loc\=2\.6 "Is the natural law truly a preceptive divine law?"}} and has been prominent in contemporary philosophy of religion, appearing in the work of Robert M. Adams,{{harvnb\|Adams\|1973}}, esp. p. 109 and {{harvnb\|Adams\|1999\|loc\=esp. p. 250}}. [Philip L. Quinn](/wiki/Philip_L._Quinn "Philip L. Quinn"),{{sfn\|Quinn\|2007\|loc\=esp. p. 71}} and William P. Alston.{{sfn\|Alston\|1990\|pp\=306–307}}
A significant attraction of such a view is that, since it allows for a non\-voluntarist treatment of goodness and badness, and therefore of God's own moral attributes, some of the aforementioned problems with voluntarism can perhaps be answered. God's commands are not arbitrary: there are reasons which guide his commands based ultimately on this goodness and badness.{{sfn\|Alston\|1990\|pp\=317–318}} God could not issue horrible commands: God's own essential goodness{{sfn\|Wierenga\|1983\|p\=397}}{{sfn\|Quinn\|2007\|pp\=81–85}}{{sfn\|Alston\|1990\|p\=317}} or loving character{{harvnb\|Adams\|1979}}. In this early work, Adams's view is that it is logically possible but "unthinkable" that God would issue horrible commands: "the believer's concepts of ethical rightness and wrongness would break down in the situation in which he believed that God commanded cruelty for its own sake" (p. 324\). In later work, Adams contends that "God *cannot* be sadistic" ({{harvnb\|Adams\|1999\|p\=47}}). would keep him from issuing any unsuitable commands. Our obligation to obey God's commands does not result in circular reasoning; it might instead be based on a gratitude whose appropriateness is itself independent of divine commands.{{sfn\|Adams\|1999\|pp\=252–253}} These proposed solutions are controversial,For criticisms, see {{harvnb\|Chandler\|1985}}; {{harvnb\|Morriston\|2001}}; {{harvnb\|Shaw\|2002}}; and {{harvnb\|Zagzebski\|2004\|pp\=259–261}} and some steer the view back into problems associated with the first horn.See {{harvnb\|Adams\|1999\|pp\=47–49}} on the problems of divine omnipotence and freedom of the will
One problem remains for such views: if God's own essential goodness does not depend on divine commands, then the question regards what it *does* depend on. Perhaps something other than God. Here the restricted divine command theory is commonly combined with a view reminiscent of Plato: God is identical to the ultimate standard for goodness.See {{harvnb\|Adams\|1999\|loc\=Chapter 1}}; {{harvnb\|Quinn\|2007}}; {{harvnb\|Alston\|1990}} distances himself from Platonism; see also {{harvnb\|Kretzmann\|1999\|pp\=375–376}} for a similar solution, put in terms of divine simplicity. Alston offers the analogy of [the standard meter bar in France](/wiki/Metre%23International_prototype_metre_bar "Metre#International prototype metre bar"). Something is a meter long inasmuch as it is the same length as the standard meter bar, and likewise, something is good inasmuch as it approximates God. If one asks why *God* is identified as the ultimate standard for goodness, Alston replies that this is "the end of the line," with no further explanation available, but adds that this is no more arbitrary than a view that invokes a fundamental moral standard.{{sfn\|Alston\|1990\|pp\=318–322}} On this view, then, even though goodness is independent of God's *will*, it still depends on *God*, and thus God's sovereignty remains intact.
This solution has been criticized by [Wes Morriston](/wiki/Wes_Morriston "Wes Morriston"). If we identify the ultimate standard for goodness with God's nature, then it seems we are identifying it with certain properties of God (e.g., being loving, being just). If so, then the dilemma resurfaces: God is either good because he has those properties, or those properties are good because God has them.{{sfn\|Morriston\|2001\|p\=253}} Nevertheless, Morriston concludes that the appeal to God's essential goodness is the divine\-command theorist's best bet. To produce a satisfying result, however, it would have to give an account of God's goodness that does not trivialize it and does not make God subject to an independent standard of goodness.{{sfn\|Morriston\|2001\|p\=266}}
Moral philosopher [Peter Singer](/wiki/Peter_Singer "Peter Singer"), disputing the perspective that "God is good" and could never advocate something like torture, states that those who propose this are "caught in a trap of their own making, for what can they possibly mean by the assertion that God is good? That God is approved of by God?"{{cite book \|title\=Practical Ethics \|edition\=3d \|last\=Singer \|first\=Peter \|year\=1993 \|publisher\=Cambridge University Press \|location\=Cambridge \|isbn\=978\-0\-521\-43971\-8 \|pages\=\[https://archive.org/details/practicalethics00sing/page/3 3–4] \|url\=https://archive.org/details/practicalethics00sing/page/3}}
### False dilemma in classical theistic perspective
[Augustine](/wiki/Augustine_of_Hippo "Augustine of Hippo"), [Anselm](/wiki/Anselm_of_Canterbury "Anselm of Canterbury"), and Aquinas all wrote about the problems raised by the Euthyphro dilemma, although, like [William James](/wiki/William_James "William James"){{sfn\|James\|1891}} and Wittgenstein later, they did not mention it by name. As philosopher and Anselm scholar Katherin A. Rogers observes, many contemporary philosophers of religion suppose that there are true propositions which exist as platonic [abstracta](/wiki/Abstract_object "Abstract object") independently of God.{{sfn\|Rogers\|2008\|p\=8}} Among these are propositions constituting a moral order, to which God must conform in order to be good.{{sfn\|Rogers\|2008\|p\=186}} Classical [Judaeo\-Christian](/wiki/Judaeo-Christian "Judaeo-Christian") theism, however, rejects such a view as inconsistent with God's omnipotence, which requires that God and what he has made is all that there is.{{sfn\|Rogers\|2008\|p\=8}} "The classical tradition," Rogers notes, "also steers clear of the other horn of the Euthyphro dilemma, divine command theory."{{harvnb\|Rogers\|2008\|p\=186}}; see also {{harvnb\|Rogers\|2000\|pp\=127–133}}. From a classical theistic perspective, therefore, the Euthyphro dilemma is false. As Rogers puts it, "Anselm, like Augustine before him and Aquinas later, rejects both horns of the Euthyphro dilemma. God neither conforms to nor invents the moral order. Rather His very nature is the standard for value."{{sfn\|Rogers\|2008\|p\=8}} Another criticism raised by [Peter Geach](/wiki/Peter_Geach "Peter Geach") is that the dilemma implies you must search for a definition that fits piety rather than work backwards by deciding pious acts (i.e. you must know what piety is before you can list acts which are pious).{{Cite web\|url\=https://studylib.net/doc/8115846/plato\-s\-\-euthyphro\-\-\-an\-analysis\-and\-commentary\|title \= PLAto's "EUTHYPHRO": An Analysis and Commentary}} It also implies something can not be pious if it is only intended to serve the Gods without actually fulfilling any useful purpose.
#### Jewish thought
The basis of the false dilemma response—God's nature is the standard for value—predates the dilemma itself, appearing first in the thought of the eighth\-century BC [Hebrew](/wiki/Hebrews "Hebrews") [prophets](/wiki/Prophet "Prophet"), [Amos](/wiki/Amos_%28prophet%29 "Amos (prophet)"), [Hosea](/wiki/Hosea "Hosea"), [Micah](/wiki/Micah_%28prophet%29 "Micah (prophet)") and [Isaiah](/wiki/Isaiah "Isaiah"). (Amos lived some three centuries before Socrates and two before [Thales](/wiki/Thales "Thales"), traditionally regarded as the first Greek philosopher.) "Their message," writes British scholar [Norman H. Snaith](/wiki/Norman_H._Snaith "Norman H. Snaith"), "is recognized by all as marking a considerable advance on all previous ideas,"{{harvnb\|Snaith\|1944\|p\=59}}. Written over many centuries by many authors, the Old Testament displays a marked ethical evolution in its portrayal – and therefore understanding – of God. In its earliest\-written books, God appears at times as no more than a nationalistic tribal deity who orders the extermination of entire peoples hostile to Israel, such as the [Midianites](/wiki/Midianites "Midianites") (Numbers 31: 1–54\) and [Amalekites](/wiki/Amalekites "Amalekites") (1 Samuel 15: 1–25\). By the time of Amos, however, such "primitive and immature notions" are a thing of the past ({{harvnb\|Snaith\|1944\|loc\=p. 52; see also pp. 61–62, 66–67}}). For a recent overview, see {{harvnb\|Head\|2010}}. not least in its "special consideration for the poor and down\-trodden."{{harvnb\|Snaith\|1944\|pp\=68–69}}. It was this "bias towards the poor and needy" ({{harvnb\|Snaith\|1944\|p\=70}}) in the message of the Hebrew prophets and Jesus Christ that inspired the "[preferential option for the poor](/wiki/Preferential_option_for_the_poor "Preferential option for the poor")" of late\-twentieth\-century Latin American [liberation theology](/wiki/Liberation_theology "Liberation theology"). As Snaith observes, *tsedeq*, the Hebrew word for [righteousness](/wiki/Righteousness "Righteousness"), "actually stands for the establishment of God's will in the land." This includes justice, but goes beyond it, "because God's will is wider than justice. He has a particular regard for the helpless ones on earth."{{sfn\|Snaith\|1944\|p\=70}} *Tsedeq* "is the norm by which all must be judged" and it "depends entirely upon the Nature of God."{{sfn\|Snaith\|1944\|p\=77}}
Hebrew has few [abstract nouns](/wiki/Abstract_noun "Abstract noun"). What the Greeks thought of as ideas or abstractions, the Hebrews thought of as activities.{{sfn\|Snaith\|1944\|p\=174}} In contrast to the Greek *[dikaiosune](/wiki/Dikaiosyne "Dikaiosyne")* (justice) of the philosophers, *tsedeq* is not an idea abstracted from this world of affairs. As Snaith writes:
{{quote\|''Tsedeq'' is something that happens here, and can be seen, and recognized, and known. It follows, therefore, that when the Hebrew thought of ''tsedeq'' (righteousness), he did not think of Righteousness in general, or of Righteousness as an Idea. On the contrary, he thought of a particular righteous act, an action, concrete, capable of exact description, fixed in time and space.... If the word had anything like a general meaning for him, then it was as it was represented by a whole series of events, the sum\-total of a number of particular happenings.{{sfn\|Snaith\|1944\|p\=77}}}}
The Hebrew stance on what came to be called the [problem of universals](/wiki/Problem_of_universals "Problem of universals"), as on much else, was very different from that of Plato and precluded anything like the Euthyphro dilemma.{{sfn\|Snaith\|1944\|pp\=9, 187–188}} This has not changed. In 2005, [Jonathan Sacks](/wiki/Jonathan_Sacks "Jonathan Sacks") wrote, "In Judaism, the Euthyphro dilemma does not exist."{{sfn\|Sacks\|2005\|p\=164}} Jewish philosophers Avi Sagi and Daniel Statman criticized the Euthyphro dilemma as "misleading" because "it is not exhaustive": it leaves out a third option, namely that God "acts only out of His nature."{{sfn\|Sagi\|Statman\|1995\|pp\=62–63}}
#### St. Thomas Aquinas
Like [Aristotle](/wiki/Aristotle "Aristotle"), Aquinas rejected Platonism.Aquinas. *[Commentary on Aristotle's Metaphysics](http://www.dhspriory.org/thomas/Metaphysics.htm) {{Webarchive\|url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726000321/http://dhspriory.org/thomas/Metaphysics.htm \|date\=2011\-07\-26 }}*, Bk. 1, lectio 10, n. 158\. In his view, to speak of abstractions not only as existent, but as more perfect exemplars than fully designated particulars, is to put a premium on generality and vagueness.{{sfn\|McInerny\|1982\|pp\=122–123}} On this analysis, the abstract "good" in the first horn of the Euthyphro dilemma is an unnecessary obfuscation. Aquinas frequently quoted with approval Aristotle's definition, "Good is what all desire."Aristotle, *Ethics* 1\.1; Aquinas, *[Commentary on Aristotle's Ethics](http://www.dhspriory.org/thomas/Ethics.htm) {{Webarchive\|url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726000338/http://dhspriory.org/thomas/Ethics.htm \|date\=2011\-07\-26 }}* 1, 9 and 11\.{{sfn\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\|loc\=I 5,1}} As he clarified, "When we say that good is what all desire, it is not to be understood that every kind of good thing is desired by all, but that whatever is desired has the nature of good."{{sfn\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\|loc\=I 6,2 ad 2}} In other words, even those who desire evil desire it "only under the aspect of good," i.e., of what is desirable.Aquinas. *Commentary on Aristotle's Ethics* 1,10\. The difference between desiring good and desiring evil is that in the former, will and reason are in harmony, whereas in the latter, they are in discord.{{sfn\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\|loc\=I/II q24, a2}}
Aquinas's discussion of [sin](/wiki/Sin "Sin") provides a good point of entry to his philosophical explanation of why the nature of God is the standard for value. "Every sin," he writes, "consists in the longing for a passing \[i.e., ultimately unreal or false] good."{{sfn\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\|loc\=I/II 72,2}} Thus, "in a certain sense it is true what Socrates says, namely that no one sins with full knowledge."{{sfn\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\|loc\=I/II 58,2 and I/II 77,2}} "No sin in the will happens without an ignorance of the understanding."Aquinas. *[Summa contra Gentiles](/wiki/Summa_contra_Gentiles "Summa contra Gentiles")* 4,92\. God, however, has full knowledge ([omniscience](/wiki/Omniscience "Omniscience")) and therefore by definition (that of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle as well as Aquinas) can never will anything other than what is good. It has been claimed – for instance, by [Nicolai Hartmann](/wiki/Nicolai_Hartmann "Nicolai Hartmann"), who wrote: "There is no freedom for the good that would not be at the same time freedom for evil"Hartmann, Nicolai. *Ethik* (3rd edition). Berlin, 1949, p. 378\. Cited in {{harvnb\|Pieper\|2001\|pp\=78–79}}. – that this would limit God's freedom, and therefore his omnipotence. [Josef Pieper](/wiki/Josef_Pieper "Josef Pieper"), however, replies that such arguments rest upon an impermissibly [anthropomorphic](/wiki/Anthropomorphic "Anthropomorphic") conception of God.{{sfn\|Pieper\|2001\|p\=79}} In the case of humans, as Aquinas says, to be able to sin is indeed a consequence,Aquinas. *[De Veritate](http://dhspriory.org/thomas/QDdeVer.htm) {{Webarchive\|url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20120419160140/http://dhspriory.org/thomas/QDdeVer.htm \|date\=2012\-04\-19 }}* 24,3 ad 2\. or even a sign, of freedom (*quodam libertatis signum*).Aquinas. *De Veritate* 22,6\. Humans, in other words, are not puppets manipulated by God so that they always do what is right. However, "it does not belong to the [essence](/wiki/Essence "Essence") of the free will to be able to decide for evil."Aquinas. *De Veritate* 24,3 ad 2; *Commentary on the Sentences of Peter Lombard* 2d,44,1,1 ad 1\. "To will evil is neither freedom nor a part of freedom." It is precisely humans' creatureliness – that is, their not being God and therefore omniscient – that makes them capable of sinning.{{sfn\|Pieper\|2001\|p\=80}} Consequently, writes Pieper, "the inability to sin should be looked on as the very signature of a higher freedom – contrary to the usual way of conceiving the issue."{{sfn\|Pieper\|2001\|p\=79}} Pieper concludes: "Only *the* will \[i.e., God's] can be the right standard of its own willing and must will what is right necessarily, from within itself, and always. A deviation from the norm would not even be thinkable. And obviously only the absolute divine will is the right standard of its own act"{{sfn\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\|loc\=I 63,1 }}{{sfn\|Pieper\|2001\|pp\=80–81}} – and consequently of all human acts. Thus the second horn of the Euthyphro dilemma, divine command theory, is also disposed of.
Thomist philosopher [Edward Feser](/wiki/Edward_Feser "Edward Feser") writes, "Divine simplicity \[entails] that God's will just is God's goodness which just is His immutable and necessary existence. That means that what is objectively good and what God wills for us as morally obligatory are really the same thing considered under different descriptions, and that neither could have been other than they are. There can be no question then, either of God's having arbitrarily commanded something different for us (torturing babies for fun, or whatever) or of there being a standard of goodness apart from Him. Again, the Euthyphro dilemma is a false one; the third option that it fails to consider is that what is morally obligatory is what God commands in accordance with a non\-arbitrary and unchanging standard of goodness that is not independent of Him... He is not *under* the moral law precisely because He *is* the moral law."{{Cite web \|url\=https://edwardfeser.blogspot.com/2010/10/god\-obligation\-and\-euthyphro\-dilemma.html \|title\=God, obligation, and the Euthyphro dilemma \|last\=Feser \|first\=Edward \|date\=26 October 2010 }}
#### William James
William James, in his essay "[The Moral Philosopher and the Moral Life](/wiki/The_Moral_Philosopher_and_the_Moral_Life "The Moral Philosopher and the Moral Life")", dismisses the first horn of the Euthyphro dilemma and stays clear of the second. He writes: "Our ordinary attitude of regarding ourselves as subject to an overarching system of moral relations, true 'in themselves,' is ... either an out\-and\-out superstition, or else it must be treated as a merely provisional abstraction from that real Thinker ... to whom the existence of the universe is due."{{sfn\|James\|1891\|loc\=Section II}} Moral obligations are created by "personal demands," whether these demands{{harvnb\|Gale\|1999\|p\=44}}: In his essay, "James used 'desire', 'demand' and 'claim' interchangeably, using 'desire' and 'demand' each eleven times and 'claim' five." come from the weakest creatures, from the most insignificant persons, or from God. It follows that "ethics have as genuine a foothold in a universe where the highest consciousness is human, as in a universe where there is a God as well." However, whether "the purely human system" works "as well as the other is a different question."{{sfn\|James\|1891\|loc\=Section II}}
For James, the deepest practical difference in the moral life is between what he calls "the easy\-going and the strenuous mood."{{sfn\|James\|1891\|loc\=Section V}} In a purely human moral system, it is hard to rise above the easy\-going mood, since the thinker's "various ideals, known to him to be mere preferences of his own, are too nearly of the same denominational value;James is acutely aware of how hard it is to "avoid complete moral skepticism on the one hand, and on the other escape bringing a wayward personal standard of our own along with us, on which we simply pin our faith." He briefly discusses several notions "proposed as bases of the ethical system", but finds little to help choose among them. ({{harvnb\|James\|1891\|loc\=Section III}}) he can play fast and loose with them at will. This too is why, in a merely human world without a God, the appeal to our moral energy falls short of its maximum stimulating power." Our attitude is "entirely different" in a world where there are none but "finite demanders" from that in a world where there is also "an infinite demander." This is because "the stable and systematic moral universe for which the ethical philosopher asks is fully possible only in a world where there is a divine thinker with all\-enveloping demands", for in that case, "actualized in his thought already must be that ethical philosophy which we seek as the pattern which our own must evermore approach." Even though "exactly what the thought of this infinite thinker may be is hidden from us", our postulation of him serves "to let loose in us the strenuous mood"{{sfn\|James\|1891\|loc\=Section V}} and confront us with an [existential](/wiki/Existential "Existential"){{sfn\|Gale\|1999\|p\=40}} "challenge" in which "our total character and personal genius ... are on trial; and if we invoke any so\-called philosophy, our choice and use of that also are but revelations of our personal aptitude or incapacity for moral life. From this unsparing practical ordeal no professor's lectures and no array of books can save us."{{sfn\|James\|1891\|loc\=Section V}} In the words of [Richard M. Gale](/wiki/Richard_M._Gale "Richard M. Gale"), "God inspires us to lead the morally strenuous life in virtue of our conceiving of him as unsurpassably *good*. This supplies James with an adequate answer to the underlying question of the *Euthyphro*."{{sfn\|Gale\|1999\|p\=44}}

"In philosophical theism\n-----------------------",
"The dilemma can be modified to apply to philosophical theism, where it is still the object of theological and philosophical discussion, largely within the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions. As [German](/wiki/Germans \"Germans\") [philosopher](/wiki/Philosophy \"Philosophy\") and [mathematician](/wiki/Mathematician \"Mathematician\") [Gottfried Leibniz](/wiki/Gottfried_Leibniz \"Gottfried Leibniz\") presented this version of the dilemma: \"It is generally agreed that whatever God wills is good and just. But there remains the question whether it is good and just because God wills it or whether God wills it because it is good and just; in other words, whether justice and Goodness are arbitrary or whether they belong to the necessary and eternal truths about the nature of things.\"{{sfn\\|Leibniz 1702(?)\\|p\\=516}}",
"Many philosophers and theologians have addressed the Euthyphro dilemma since the time of Plato, though not always with reference to the Platonic dialogue. According to scholar [Terence Irwin](/wiki/Terence_Irwin \"Terence Irwin\"), the issue and its connection with Plato was revived by Ralph Cudworth and Samuel Clarke in the 17th and 18th centuries.{{sfn\\|Irwin\\|2006}} More recently, it has received a great deal of attention from contemporary philosophers working in [metaethics](/wiki/Metaethics \"Metaethics\") and the [philosophy of religion](/wiki/Philosophy_of_religion \"Philosophy of religion\"). Philosophers and theologians aiming to defend theism against the threat of the dilemma have developed a variety of responses.",
"### God commands it because it is right",
"#### Supporters",
"The first horn of the dilemma (i.e. that which is right is commanded by God *because it is right*) goes by a variety of names, including [intellectualism](/wiki/Intellectualism \"Intellectualism\"), [rationalism](/wiki/Rationalism \"Rationalism\"), [realism](/wiki/Moral_realism \"Moral realism\"), [naturalism](/wiki/Natural_law \"Natural law\"), and [objectivism](/wiki/Moral_universalism \"Moral universalism\"). Roughly, it is the view that there are independent moral standards: some actions are right or wrong in themselves, independent of God's commands. This is the view accepted by Socrates and Euthyphro in Plato's dialogue. The [Mu'tazilah](/wiki/Mu%27tazilah \"Mu'tazilah\") school of [Islamic theology](/wiki/Islamic_theology \"Islamic theology\") also defended the view (with, for example, [Nazzam](/wiki/Ibrahim_an-Nazzam \"Ibrahim an-Nazzam\") maintaining that God is powerless to engage in injustice or lying),{{sfn\\|Wolfson\\|1976\\|p\\=579}} as did the [Islamic philosopher](/wiki/Islamic_philosophy \"Islamic philosophy\") [Averroes](/wiki/Averroes \"Averroes\").{{sfn\\|Hourani\\|1962\\|pp\\=13–40}} [Thomas Aquinas](/wiki/Thomas_Aquinas \"Thomas Aquinas\") never explicitly addresses the Euthyphro dilemma, but Aquinas scholars often put him on this side of the issue.{{sfn\\|Haldane\\|1989\\|p\\=40}}{{sfn\\|Irwin\\|2007\\|loc\\=I, pp. 553–556}} Aquinas draws a distinction between what is good or evil in itself and what is good or evil because of God's commands,{{sfn\\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\\|loc\\=2a2ae \\[http://www.newadvent.org/summa/3057\\.htm\\#article2 57\\.2]}} with unchangeable moral standards forming the bulk of [natural law](/wiki/Natural_law \"Natural law\").{{sfn\\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\\|loc\\=2a1ae \\[http://www.newadvent.org/summa/2094\\.htm\\#article5 94\\.5]}} Thus he contends that not even God can change the [Ten Commandments](/wiki/Ten_Commandments \"Ten Commandments\") (adding, however, that God *can* change what individuals deserve in particular cases, in what might look like special dispensations to murder or stealing).{{sfn\\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\\|loc\\=1a2ae \\[http://www.newadvent.org/summa/2100\\.htm\\#article8 100\\.8]}} Among later [Scholastics](/wiki/Scholastics \"Scholastics\"), [Gabriel Vásquez](/wiki/Gabriel_V%C3%A1squez \"Gabriel Vásquez\") is particularly clear\\-cut about obligations existing prior to anyone's will, even God's.{{sfn\\|Pink\\|2005}}{{sfn\\|Irwin\\|2007\\|loc\\=II, pp. 6–10}} [Modern](/wiki/Early_modern_period \"Early modern period\") natural law theory saw [Grotius](/wiki/Grotius \"Grotius\") and [Leibniz](/wiki/Gottfried_Wilhelm_Leibniz \"Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz\") also putting morality prior to [God's will](/wiki/Will_of_God \"Will of God\"), comparing moral truths to unchangeable mathematical truths, and engaging [voluntarists](/wiki/Voluntarism_%28metaphysics%29 \"Voluntarism (metaphysics)\") like [Pufendorf](/wiki/Pufendorf \"Pufendorf\") in philosophical controversy.See esp. {{harvnb\\|Grotius\\|1625\\|loc\\=1\\.1\\.10}} and {{harvnb\\|Leibniz 1702(?)}}; see also {{harvnb\\|Leibniz\\|1706\\|pp\\=64–75}}. [Cambridge Platonists](/wiki/Cambridge_Platonists \"Cambridge Platonists\") like [Benjamin Whichcote](/wiki/Benjamin_Whichcote \"Benjamin Whichcote\") and [Ralph Cudworth](/wiki/Ralph_Cudworth \"Ralph Cudworth\") mounted seminal attacks on voluntarist theories, paving the way for the later rationalist [metaethics](/wiki/Metaethics \"Metaethics\") of [Samuel Clarke](/wiki/Samuel_Clarke \"Samuel Clarke\") and [Richard Price](/wiki/Richard_Price \"Richard Price\");{{sfn\\|Gill\\|1999\\|loc\\=esp. pp. 272–74}}{{sfn\\|Mackie\\|1980\\|loc\\=Chapters 2, 8}}{{sfn\\|Gill\\|2011}} what emerged was a view on which eternal moral standards, though dependent on God in some way, exist independently of God's will and prior to God's commands. Contemporary [philosophers of religion](/wiki/Philosophy_of_religion \"Philosophy of religion\") who embrace this horn of the Euthyphro dilemma include [Richard Swinburne](/wiki/Richard_Swinburne \"Richard Swinburne\"){{sfn\\|Swinburne\\|1993\\|pp\\=209–216}}{{sfn\\|Swinburne\\|2008}} and [T.

"#### Criticisms",
"* [Sovereignty](/wiki/Sovereignty \"Sovereignty\"): If there are moral standards independent of God's will, then \"\\[t]here is something over which God is not sovereign. God is bound by the laws of morality instead of being their establisher. Moreover, God depends for his goodness on the extent to which he conforms to an independent moral standard. Thus, God is not absolutely independent.\"{{sfn\\|Murray\\|Rea\\|2008\\|p\\=247}} 18th\\-century philosopher [Richard Price](/wiki/Richard_Price \"Richard Price\"), who takes the first horn and thus sees morality as \"necessary and immutable\", sets out the objection as follows: \"It may seem that this is setting up something distinct from God, which is independent of him, and equally eternal and necessary.\"{{sfn\\|Price\\|1769\\|loc\\=Chapter 5}}\n* [Omnipotence](/wiki/Omnipotence \"Omnipotence\"): These moral standards would limit God's power: not even God could oppose them by commanding what is evil and thereby making it good. This point was influential in Islamic theology: \"In relation to God, objective values appeared as a limiting factor to His power to do as He wills... [Ash'ari](/wiki/Abu_al-Hasan_al-Ash%27ari \"Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari\") got rid of the whole problem by denying the existence of objective values which might act as a standard for God's action.\"{{sfn\\|Hourani\\|1960\\|p\\=276}} Similar concerns drove the medieval voluntarists [Duns Scotus](/wiki/Duns_Scotus \"Duns Scotus\") and [William of Ockham](/wiki/William_of_Ockham \"William of Ockham\").{{sfn\\|Haldane\\|1989\\|pp\\=42–43}} As modern philosopher [Richard Swinburne](/wiki/Richard_Swinburne \"Richard Swinburne\") puts the point, this horn \"seems to place a restriction on God's power if he cannot make any action which he chooses obligatory... \\[and also] it seems to limit what God can command us to do. God, if he is to be God, cannot command us to do what, independently of his will, is wrong.\"{{sfn\\|Swinburne\\|1993\\|p\\=210}}\n* [Freedom of the will](/wiki/Free_will \"Free will\"): Moreover, these moral standards would limit God's freedom of will: God could not command anything opposed to them, and perhaps would have no choice but to command in accordance with them.See {{harvnb\\|Adams\\|1999\\|pp\\=47–49}} for a detailed discussion of this problem; also see {{harvnb\\|Suárez\\|1872\\|loc\\=2\\.6\\.22–23}}. As [Mark Murphy](/wiki/Mark_Murphy_%28philosopher%29 \"Mark Murphy (philosopher)\") puts the point, \"if moral requirements existed prior to God's willing them, requirements that an impeccable God could not violate, God's liberty would be compromised.\"{{sfn\\|Murphy\\|2012\\|loc\\=\\[http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/voluntarism\\-theological/\\#2\\.1 Metaethical theological voluntarism: Considerations in Favor]}}\n* [Morality without God](/wiki/Secular_morality \"Secular morality\"): If there are moral standards independent of God, then morality would retain its authority even if God did not exist. This conclusion was explicitly (and notoriously) drawn by early modern political theorist [Hugo Grotius](/wiki/Hugo_Grotius \"Hugo Grotius\"): \"What we have been saying \\[about the natural law] would have a degree of validity even if we should concede that which cannot be conceded without the utmost wickedness, that there is no God, or that the affairs of men are of no concern to him\"{{sfn\\|Grotius\\|1625\\|loc\\=Prolegomenon, 11}} On such a view, God is no longer a \"law\\-giver\" but at most a \"law\\-transmitter\" who plays no vital role in the foundations of morality.{{sfn\\|Kretzmann\\|1999\\|p\\=423}} [Nontheists](/wiki/Nontheism \"Nontheism\") have capitalized on this point, largely as a way of disarming [moral arguments for God's existence](/wiki/Argument_from_morality \"Argument from morality\"): if morality does not depend on God in the first place, such arguments stumble at the starting gate.{{sfn\\|Oppy\\|2009\\|pp\\=352–356}}",
"#### Responses to criticisms",
"Contemporary philosophers Joshua Hoffman and Gary S. Rosenkrantz take the first horn of the dilemma, branding divine command theory a \"subjective theory of value\" that makes morality arbitrary.{{sfn\\|Hoffman\\|Rosenkrantz\\|2002\\|pp\\=143–145}} They accept a theory of morality on which, \"right and wrong, good and bad, are in a sense independent of what *anyone* believes, wants, or prefers.\"{{sfn\\|Hoffman\\|Rosenkrantz\\|2002\\|pp\\=145–147}} They do not address the problems mentioned above with the first horn, but do consider a related problem concerning God's omnipotence: namely, that it might be handicapped by his inability to bring about what is independently evil. To this they reply that God is omnipotent, even though there are states of affairs he cannot bring about: omnipotence is a matter of \"maximal power\", not an ability to bring about all possible states of affairs. And supposing that it is impossible for God not to exist, then since there cannot be more than one omnipotent being, it is therefore impossible for any being to have more power than God (e.g., a being who is omnipotent but not [omnibenevolent](/wiki/Omnibenevolent \"Omnibenevolent\")). Thus God's omnipotence remains intact.{{sfn\\|Hoffman\\|Rosenkrantz\\|2002\\|pp\\=166, 173–176}}",
"[Richard Swinburne](/wiki/Richard_Swinburne \"Richard Swinburne\") and [T. J. Mawson](/wiki/T._J._Mawson \"T. J. Mawson\") have a slightly more complicated view. They both take the first horn of the dilemma when it comes to *necessary* moral truths. But divine commands are not totally irrelevant, for God and his will can still effect *contingent* moral truths.{{sfn\\|Swinburne\\|1974}}{{sfn\\|Swinburne\\|1993\\|loc\\=Chapter 11}}{{sfn\\|Swinburne\\|2008}}{{sfn\\|Mawson\\|2008}} On the one hand, the most fundamental moral truths hold true regardless of whether God exists or what God has commanded: \"Genocide and torturing children are wrong and would remain so whatever commands any person issued.\"{{sfn\\|Swinburne\\|1993\\|p\\=210}} This is because, according to Swinburne, such truths are true as a matter of [logical necessity](/wiki/Logical_truth \"Logical truth\"): like the laws of logic, one cannot deny them without contradiction.{{sfn\\|Swinburne\\|1993\\|p\\=192ff}} This parallel offers a solution to the aforementioned problems of God's sovereignty, omnipotence, and freedom: namely, that these necessary truths of morality pose no more of a threat than the laws of logic.{{sfn\\|Swinburne\\|1993\\|loc\\=Chapter 9}}{{sfn\\|Swinburne\\|1974\\|pp\\=217–222}}{{sfn\\|Mawson\\|2008\\|pp\\=26–29}} On the other hand, there is still an important role for God's will. First, there are some divine commands that can directly create moral obligations: e.g., the command to worship on Sundays instead of on Tuesdays.{{sfn\\|Swinburne\\|1974\\|p\\=211}} Notably, not even these commands, for which Swinburne and Mawson take the second horn of the dilemma, have ultimate, underived authority. Rather, they create obligations only because of God's role as creator and sustainer and indeed owner of the universe, together with the necessary moral truth that we owe some limited consideration to benefactors and owners.{{sfn\\|Swinburne\\|1974\\|pp\\=211–215}}{{sfn\\|Swinburne\\|2008\\|pp\\=10–12}} Second, God can make an *indirect* moral difference by deciding what sort of universe to create. For example, whether a public policy is morally good might indirectly depend on God's creative acts: the policy's goodness or badness might depend on its effects, and those effects would in turn depend on the sort of universe God has decided to create.{{sfn\\|Swinburne\\|2008\\|p\\=10}}{{sfn\\|Mawson\\|2008\\|pp\\=29–32}}",
"### It is right because God commands it",
"#### Supporters",
"The second horn of the dilemma (i.e. that which is right is right *because it is commanded by God*) is sometimes known as [divine command theory](/wiki/Divine_command_theory \"Divine command theory\") or [voluntarism](/wiki/Voluntarism_%28metaphysics%29 \"Voluntarism (metaphysics)\"). Roughly, it is the view that there are no moral standards other than God's will: without God's commands, nothing would be right or wrong. This view was partially defended by [Duns Scotus](/wiki/Duns_Scotus \"Duns Scotus\"), who argued that not all [Ten Commandments](/wiki/Ten_Commandments \"Ten Commandments\") belong to the [Natural Law](/wiki/Natural_Law \"Natural Law\") in the strictest sense.{{cite book \\|last1\\=Scotus \\|first1\\=John Duns \\|title\\=Selected Writings on Ethics \\|year\\=2017 \\|publisher\\=Oxford University Press \\|isbn\\=978\\-0\\-19\\-967341\\-4 \\|pages\\=Ordinatio III, D. 37, \"Do all the precepts of the Decalogue belong to the natural law?\"}} Scotus held that while our duties to God (the first three commandments, traditionally thought of as the First Tablet) are [self\\-evident](/wiki/Self-evidence \"Self-evidence\"), [true by definition](/wiki/Analytic_proposition \"Analytic proposition\"), and unchangeable even by God, our duties to others (found on the second tablet) were arbitrarily willed by God and are within his power to revoke and replace (although, the third commandment, to honour the Sabbath and keep it holy, has a little of both, as we are absolutely obliged to render worship to God, but there is no obligation in natural law to do it on this day or that). Scotus does note, however that the last seven commandments \"*are highly consonant with \\[the natural law], though they do not follow necessarily from first practical principles that are known in virtue of their terms and are necessarily known by any intellect \\[that understands their terms.

"#### Criticisms",
"This horn of the dilemma also faces several problems:",
"* No reasons for morality: If there is no moral standard other than God's will, then God's commands are arbitrary (i.e., based on pure whimsy or caprice). This would mean that morality is ultimately not based on reasons: \"if theological voluntarism is true, then God's commands/intentions must be arbitrary; \\[but] it cannot be that morality could wholly depend on something arbitrary... \\[for] when we say that some moral state of affairs obtains, we take it that there is a reason for that moral state of affairs obtaining rather than another.\"{{sfn\\|Murphy\\|2012\\|loc\\=\\[http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/voluntarism\\-theological/\\#3\\.2 Perennial difficulties for metaethical theological voluntarism: Theological voluntarism and arbitrariness]}} And as Michael J. Murray and [Michael Rea](/wiki/Michael_Rea \"Michael Rea\") put it, this would also \"cas\\[t] doubt on the notion that morality is genuinely objective.\"{{sfn\\|Murray\\|Rea\\|2008\\|pp\\=246–247}} An additional problem is that it is difficult to explain how true moral actions can exist if one acts only out of fear of God or in an attempt to be rewarded by him.{{sfn\\|Doomen\\|2011}}\n* No reasons for God: This arbitrariness would also jeopardize God's status as a [wise](/wiki/Wisdom \"Wisdom\") and [rational](/wiki/Rationality \"Rationality\") being, one who always acts on good reasons. As Leibniz writes: \"Where will be his justice and his wisdom if he has only a certain despotic power, if arbitrary will takes the place of reasonableness, and if in accord with the definition of tyrants, justice consists in that which is pleasing to the most powerful? Besides it seems that every act of willing supposes some reason for the willing and this reason, of course, must precede the act.\"{{sfn\\|Leibniz\\|1686\\|loc\\=II}}\n* Anything goes:{{sfn\\|Murray\\|Rea\\|2008\\|p\\=246}} This arbitrariness would also mean that *anything* could become good, and *anything* could become bad, merely upon God's command. Thus if God commanded us \"to gratuitously inflict pain on each other\"{{sfn\\|Alston\\|2002\\|p\\=285}} or to engage in \"cruelty for its own sake\"{{sfn\\|Adams\\|1973}} or to hold an \"annual sacrifice of randomly selected ten\\-year\\-olds in a particularly gruesome ritual that involves excruciating and prolonged suffering for its victims\",{{sfn\\|Morriston\\|2009\\|p\\=249}} then we would be morally obligated to do so. As 17th\\-century philosopher [Ralph Cudworth](/wiki/Ralph_Cudworth \"Ralph Cudworth\") put it: \"nothing can be imagined so grossly wicked, or so foully unjust or dishonest, but if it were supposed to be commanded by this omnipotent Deity, must needs upon that hypothesis forthwith become holy, just, and righteous.\"{{sfn\\|Cudworth\\|1731\\|loc\\=1\\.1\\.5}}\n* Moral [contingency](/wiki/Contingency_%28philosophy%29 \"Contingency (philosophy)\"): If morality depends on the [perfectly free will](/wiki/Free_will \"Free will\") of God, morality would lose its necessity: \"If nothing prevents God from loving things that are different from what God actually loves, then goodness can change [from world to world](/wiki/Possible_world \"Possible world\") or time to time. This is obviously objectionable to those who believe that claims about morality are, if true, necessarily true.\"{{sfn\\|Murray\\|Rea\\|2008\\|p\\=246}} In other words, no action is necessarily moral: any right action could have easily been wrong, if God had so decided, and an action which is right today could easily become wrong tomorrow, if God so decides. Indeed, some have argued that divine command theory is incompatible with ordinary conceptions of [moral supervenience](/wiki/Moral_supervenience \"Moral supervenience\").{{sfn\\|Klagge\\|1984\\|pp\\=374–375}}\n* Why do God's commands obligate?: Mere commands do not create obligations unless the commander has some commanding authority. But this commanding authority cannot itself be based on those very commands (i.e., a command to obey commands), otherwise a vicious circle results. So, in order for God's commands to obligate us, he must derive commanding authority from some source other than his own will. As Cudworth put it: \"For it was never heard of, that any one founded all his authority of commanding others, and others {{sic}} obligation or duty to obey his commands, in a law of his own making, that men should be required, obliged, or bound to obey him. Wherefore since the thing willed in all laws is not that men should be bound or obliged to obey; this thing cannot be the product of the meer {{sic}} will of the commander, but it must proceed from something else; namely, the right or authority of the commander.\"{{sfn\\|Cudworth\\|1731\\|loc\\=1\\.2\\.4}} To avoid the circle, one might say our obligation comes from gratitude to God for creating us. But this presupposes some sort of independent moral standard obligating us to be grateful to our benefactors. As 18th\\-century philosopher [Francis Hutcheson](/wiki/Francis_Hutcheson_%28philosopher%29 \"Francis Hutcheson (philosopher)\") writes: \"Is the Reason exciting to concur with the Deity this, 'The Deity is our Benefactor?' Then what Reason excites to concur with Benefactors?\"{{sfn\\|Hutcheson\\|1742\\|loc\\=I}} Or finally, one might resort to [Hobbes](/wiki/Thomas_Hobbes \"Thomas Hobbes\")'s view: \"The right of nature whereby God reigneth over men, and punisheth those that break his laws, is to be derived, not from his creating them (as if he required obedience, as of gratitude for his benefits), but from his *irresistible power*.\"{{sfn\\|Hobbes\\|loc\\=31\\.5}} In other words, [might makes right](/wiki/Might_makes_right \"Might makes right\").\n* God's goodness: If *all* goodness is a matter of God's will, then what shall become of *God's* goodness? Thus [William P. Alston](/wiki/William_P._Alston \"William P. Alston\") writes, \"since the standards of moral goodness are set by divine commands, to say that God is morally good is just to say that he obeys his own commands... that God practises what he preaches, whatever that might be;\"{{sfn\\|Alston\\|2002\\|p\\=285}} Hutcheson deems such a view \"an insignificant [tautology](/wiki/Tautology_%28logic%29 \"Tautology (logic)\"), amounting to no more than this, 'That God wills what he wills.{{'\"}}{{sfn\\|Hutcheson\\|1738\\|loc\\=2\\.7\\.5}} Alternatively, as Leibniz puts it, divine command theorists \"deprive God of the designation *good*: for what cause could one have to praise him for what he does, if in doing something quite different he would have done equally well?\"{{sfn\\|Leibniz\\|1710\\|p\\=176}} A related point is raised by [C. S. Lewis](/wiki/C._S._Lewis \"C. S. Lewis\"): \"if good is to be *defined* as what God commands, then the goodness of God Himself is emptied of meaning and the commands of an omnipotent fiend would have the same claim on us as those of the 'righteous Lord.{{'\"}}{{sfn\\|Lewis\\|1943\\|p\\=79}} Or again Leibniz: \"this opinion would hardly distinguish God from the devil.\"{{sfn\\|Leibniz 1702(?)\\|p\\=561}} That is, since divine command theory trivializes God's goodness, it is incapable of explaining the difference between God and an all\\-powerful demon.\n* The [is\\-ought problem](/wiki/Is-ought_problem \"Is-ought problem\") and the [naturalistic fallacy](/wiki/Naturalistic_fallacy \"Naturalistic fallacy\"): According to [David Hume](/wiki/David_Hume \"David Hume\"), it is hard to see how moral propositions featuring the relation *ought* could ever be deduced from ordinary *is* propositions, such as \"the being of a God.\"{{sfn\\|Hume\\|1739\\|loc\\=3\\.1\\.1\\.27}} Divine command theory is thus guilty of deducing moral *oughts* from ordinary *ises* about God's commands.{{sfn\\|Wierenga\\|1983\\|p\\=397}} In a similar vein, [G. E. Moore](/wiki/G._E._Moore \"G. E. Moore\") argued (with his [open question argument](/wiki/Open_question_argument \"Open question argument\")) that the notion *good* is indefinable, and any attempts to analyze it in [naturalistic](/wiki/Naturalism_%28philosophy%29 \"Naturalism (philosophy)\") or [metaphysical](/wiki/Metaphysics \"Metaphysics\") terms are guilty of the so\\-called \"naturalistic fallacy.\"{{sfn\\|Moore\\|1903\\|loc\\=Chapters 1, 2, 4}} This would block any theory which analyzes morality in terms of God's will: and indeed, in a later discussion of divine command theory, Moore concluded that \"when we assert any action to be right or wrong, we are not merely making an assertion about the attitude of mind towards it of any being or set of beings whatever.\"{{sfn\\|Moore\\|1912\\|p\\=79}}\n* No morality without God: If all morality is a matter of God's will, then if God does not exist, there is no morality. This is the thought captured in the slogan ([often attributed to Dostoevsky](/wiki/q:Fyodor_Dostoyevsky%23The_Brothers_Karamazov_%281879%E2%80%931880%29 \"Fyodor Dostoyevsky#The Brothers Karamazov (1879–1880)\")) \"[If God does not exist, everything is permitted.](/wiki/The_Brothers_Karamazov \"The Brothers Karamazov\")\" Divine command theorists disagree over whether this is a problem for their view or a virtue of their view. [Many argue](/wiki/Argument_from_morality \"Argument from morality\") that morality does indeed require God's existence, and that this is in fact a problem for atheism. But divine command theorist [Robert Merrihew Adams](/wiki/Robert_Merrihew_Adams \"Robert Merrihew Adams\") contends that this idea (\"that no actions would be ethically wrong if there were not a loving God\") is one that \"will seem (at least initially) implausible to many\", and that his theory must \"dispel \\[an] air of paradox.\"{{sfn\\|Adams\\|1979\\|p\\=77}}",
"#### Restricted divine command theory",
"One common response to the Euthyphro dilemma centers on a distinction between *value* and *obligation*. Obligation, which concerns rightness and wrongness (or what is required, forbidden, or permissible), is given a voluntarist treatment. But value, which concerns goodness and badness, is treated as independent of divine commands. The result is a *restricted* divine command theory that applies only to a specific region of morality: the [deontic](/wiki/Deontic \"Deontic\") region of obligation. This response is found in [Francisco Suárez](/wiki/Francisco_Su%C3%A1rez \"Francisco Suárez\")'s discussion of natural law and voluntarism in *De legibus*{{sfn\\|Suárez\\|1872\\|loc\\=2\\.6 \"Is the natural law truly a preceptive divine law?\"}} and has been prominent in contemporary philosophy of religion, appearing in the work of Robert M. Adams,{{harvnb\\|Adams\\|1973}}, esp. p. 109 and {{harvnb\\|Adams\\|1999\\|loc\\=esp. p. 250}}. [Philip L. Quinn](/wiki/Philip_L._Quinn \"Philip L. Quinn\"),{{sfn\\|Quinn\\|2007\\|loc\\=esp. p. 71}} and William P. Alston.{{sfn\\|Alston\\|1990\\|pp\\=306–307}}",
"A significant attraction of such a view is that, since it allows for a non\\-voluntarist treatment of goodness and badness, and therefore of God's own moral attributes, some of the aforementioned problems with voluntarism can perhaps be answered. God's commands are not arbitrary: there are reasons which guide his commands based ultimately on this goodness and badness.{{sfn\\|Alston\\|1990\\|pp\\=317–318}} God could not issue horrible commands: God's own essential goodness{{sfn\\|Wierenga\\|1983\\|p\\=397}}{{sfn\\|Quinn\\|2007\\|pp\\=81–85}}{{sfn\\|Alston\\|1990\\|p\\=317}} or loving character{{harvnb\\|Adams\\|1979}}. In this early work, Adams's view is that it is logically possible but \"unthinkable\" that God would issue horrible commands: \"the believer's concepts of ethical rightness and wrongness would break down in the situation in which he believed that God commanded cruelty for its own sake\" (p. 324\\). In later work, Adams contends that \"God *cannot* be sadistic\" ({{harvnb\\|Adams\\|1999\\|p\\=47}}). would keep him from issuing any unsuitable commands. Our obligation to obey God's commands does not result in circular reasoning; it might instead be based on a gratitude whose appropriateness is itself independent of divine commands.{{sfn\\|Adams\\|1999\\|pp\\=252–253}} These proposed solutions are controversial,For criticisms, see {{harvnb\\|Chandler\\|1985}}; {{harvnb\\|Morriston\\|2001}}; {{harvnb\\|Shaw\\|2002}}; and {{harvnb\\|Zagzebski\\|2004\\|pp\\=259–261}} and some steer the view back into problems associated with the first horn.See {{harvnb\\|Adams\\|1999\\|pp\\=47–49}} on the problems of divine omnipotence and freedom of the will",
"One problem remains for such views: if God's own essential goodness does not depend on divine commands, then the question regards what it *does* depend on. Perhaps something other than God. Here the restricted divine command theory is commonly combined with a view reminiscent of Plato: God is identical to the ultimate standard for goodness.See {{harvnb\\|Adams\\|1999\\|loc\\=Chapter 1}}; {{harvnb\\|Quinn\\|2007}}; {{harvnb\\|Alston\\|1990}} distances himself from Platonism; see also {{harvnb\\|Kretzmann\\|1999\\|pp\\=375–376}} for a similar solution, put in terms of divine simplicity. Alston offers the analogy of [the standard meter bar in France](/wiki/Metre%23International_prototype_metre_bar \"Metre#International prototype metre bar\"). Something is a meter long inasmuch as it is the same length as the standard meter bar, and likewise, something is good inasmuch as it approximates God. If one asks why *God* is identified as the ultimate standard for goodness, Alston replies that this is \"the end of the line,\" with no further explanation available, but adds that this is no more arbitrary than a view that invokes a fundamental moral standard.{{sfn\\|Alston\\|1990\\|pp\\=318–322}} On this view, then, even though goodness is independent of God's *will*, it still depends on *God*, and thus God's sovereignty remains intact.",
"This solution has been criticized by [Wes Morriston](/wiki/Wes_Morriston \"Wes Morriston\"). If we identify the ultimate standard for goodness with God's nature, then it seems we are identifying it with certain properties of God (e.g., being loving, being just). If so, then the dilemma resurfaces: God is either good because he has those properties, or those properties are good because God has them.{{sfn\\|Morriston\\|2001\\|p\\=253}} Nevertheless, Morriston concludes that the appeal to God's essential goodness is the divine\\-command theorist's best bet. To produce a satisfying result, however, it would have to give an account of God's goodness that does not trivialize it and does not make God subject to an independent standard of goodness.{{sfn\\|Morriston\\|2001\\|p\\=266}}",
"Moral philosopher [Peter Singer](/wiki/Peter_Singer \"Peter Singer\"), disputing the perspective that \"God is good\" and could never advocate something like torture, states that those who propose this are \"caught in a trap of their own making, for what can they possibly mean by the assertion that God is good?

"### False dilemma in classical theistic perspective",
"[Augustine](/wiki/Augustine_of_Hippo \"Augustine of Hippo\"), [Anselm](/wiki/Anselm_of_Canterbury \"Anselm of Canterbury\"), and Aquinas all wrote about the problems raised by the Euthyphro dilemma, although, like [William James](/wiki/William_James \"William James\"){{sfn\\|James\\|1891}} and Wittgenstein later, they did not mention it by name. As philosopher and Anselm scholar Katherin A. Rogers observes, many contemporary philosophers of religion suppose that there are true propositions which exist as platonic [abstracta](/wiki/Abstract_object \"Abstract object\") independently of God.{{sfn\\|Rogers\\|2008\\|p\\=8}} Among these are propositions constituting a moral order, to which God must conform in order to be good.{{sfn\\|Rogers\\|2008\\|p\\=186}} Classical [Judaeo\\-Christian](/wiki/Judaeo-Christian \"Judaeo-Christian\") theism, however, rejects such a view as inconsistent with God's omnipotence, which requires that God and what he has made is all that there is.{{sfn\\|Rogers\\|2008\\|p\\=8}} \"The classical tradition,\" Rogers notes, \"also steers clear of the other horn of the Euthyphro dilemma, divine command theory.\"{{harvnb\\|Rogers\\|2008\\|p\\=186}}; see also {{harvnb\\|Rogers\\|2000\\|pp\\=127–133}}. From a classical theistic perspective, therefore, the Euthyphro dilemma is false. As Rogers puts it, \"Anselm, like Augustine before him and Aquinas later, rejects both horns of the Euthyphro dilemma. God neither conforms to nor invents the moral order. Rather His very nature is the standard for value.\"{{sfn\\|Rogers\\|2008\\|p\\=8}} Another criticism raised by [Peter Geach](/wiki/Peter_Geach \"Peter Geach\") is that the dilemma implies you must search for a definition that fits piety rather than work backwards by deciding pious acts (i.e. you must know what piety is before you can list acts which are pious).{{Cite web\\|url\\=https://studylib.net/doc/8115846/plato\\-s\\-\\-euthyphro\\-\\-\\-an\\-analysis\\-and\\-commentary\\|title \\= PLAto's \"EUTHYPHRO\": An Analysis and Commentary}} It also implies something can not be pious if it is only intended to serve the Gods without actually fulfilling any useful purpose.",
"#### Jewish thought",
"The basis of the false dilemma response—God's nature is the standard for value—predates the dilemma itself, appearing first in the thought of the eighth\\-century BC [Hebrew](/wiki/Hebrews \"Hebrews\") [prophets](/wiki/Prophet \"Prophet\"), [Amos](/wiki/Amos_%28prophet%29 \"Amos (prophet)\"), [Hosea](/wiki/Hosea \"Hosea\"), [Micah](/wiki/Micah_%28prophet%29 \"Micah (prophet)\") and [Isaiah](/wiki/Isaiah \"Isaiah\"). (Amos lived some three centuries before Socrates and two before [Thales](/wiki/Thales \"Thales\"), traditionally regarded as the first Greek philosopher.) \"Their message,\" writes British scholar [Norman H. Snaith](/wiki/Norman_H._Snaith \"Norman H. Snaith\"), \"is recognized by all as marking a considerable advance on all previous ideas,\"{{harvnb\\|Snaith\\|1944\\|p\\=59}}. Written over many centuries by many authors, the Old Testament displays a marked ethical evolution in its portrayal – and therefore understanding – of God. In its earliest\\-written books, God appears at times as no more than a nationalistic tribal deity who orders the extermination of entire peoples hostile to Israel, such as the [Midianites](/wiki/Midianites \"Midianites\") (Numbers 31: 1–54\\) and [Amalekites](/wiki/Amalekites \"Amalekites\") (1 Samuel 15: 1–25\\). By the time of Amos, however, such \"primitive and immature notions\" are a thing of the past ({{harvnb\\|Snaith\\|1944\\|loc\\=p. 52; see also pp. 61–62, 66–67}}). For a recent overview, see {{harvnb\\|Head\\|2010}}. not least in its \"special consideration for the poor and down\\-trodden.\"{{harvnb\\|Snaith\\|1944\\|pp\\=68–69}}. It was this \"bias towards the poor and needy\" ({{harvnb\\|Snaith\\|1944\\|p\\=70}}) in the message of the Hebrew prophets and Jesus Christ that inspired the \"[preferential option for the poor](/wiki/Preferential_option_for_the_poor \"Preferential option for the poor\")\" of late\\-twentieth\\-century Latin American [liberation theology](/wiki/Liberation_theology \"Liberation theology\"). As Snaith observes, *tsedeq*, the Hebrew word for [righteousness](/wiki/Righteousness \"Righteousness\"), \"actually stands for the establishment of God's will in the land.\" This includes justice, but goes beyond it, \"because God's will is wider than justice. He has a particular regard for the helpless ones on earth.\"{{sfn\\|Snaith\\|1944\\|p\\=70}} *Tsedeq* \"is the norm by which all must be judged\" and it \"depends entirely upon the Nature of God.\"{{sfn\\|Snaith\\|1944\\|p\\=77}}",
"Hebrew has few [abstract nouns](/wiki/Abstract_noun \"Abstract noun\").

As Snaith writes:\n{{quote\\|''Tsedeq'' is something that happens here, and can be seen, and recognized, and known. It follows, therefore, that when the Hebrew thought of ''tsedeq'' (righteousness), he did not think of Righteousness in general, or of Righteousness as an Idea. On the contrary, he thought of a particular righteous act, an action, concrete, capable of exact description, fixed in time and space.... If the word had anything like a general meaning for him, then it was as it was represented by a whole series of events, the sum\\-total of a number of particular happenings.{{sfn\\|Snaith\\|1944\\|p\\=77}}}}\nThe Hebrew stance on what came to be called the [problem of universals](/wiki/Problem_of_universals \"Problem of universals\"), as on much else, was very different from that of Plato and precluded anything like the Euthyphro dilemma.{{sfn\\|Snaith\\|1944\\|pp\\=9, 187–188}} This has not changed. In 2005, [Jonathan Sacks](/wiki/Jonathan_Sacks \"Jonathan Sacks\") wrote, \"In Judaism, the Euthyphro dilemma does not exist.\"{{sfn\\|Sacks\\|2005\\|p\\=164}} Jewish philosophers Avi Sagi and Daniel Statman criticized the Euthyphro dilemma as \"misleading\" because \"it is not exhaustive\": it leaves out a third option, namely that God \"acts only out of His nature.\"{{sfn\\|Sagi\\|Statman\\|1995\\|pp\\=62–63}}",

Aquinas frequently quoted with approval Aristotle's definition, \"Good is what all desire.\"Aristotle, *Ethics* 1\\.1; Aquinas, *[Commentary on Aristotle's Ethics](http://www.dhspriory.org/thomas/Ethics.htm) {{Webarchive\\|url\\=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726000338/http://dhspriory.org/thomas/Ethics.htm \\|date\\=2011\\-07\\-26 }}* 1, 9 and 11\\.{{sfn\\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\\|loc\\=I 5,1}} As he clarified, \"When we say that good is what all desire, it is not to be understood that every kind of good thing is desired by all, but that whatever is desired has the nature of good.\"{{sfn\\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\\|loc\\=I 6,2 ad 2}} In other words, even those who desire evil desire it \"only under the aspect of good,\" i.e., of what is desirable.Aquinas. *Commentary on Aristotle's Ethics* 1,10\\. The difference between desiring good and desiring evil is that in the former, will and reason are in harmony, whereas in the latter, they are in discord.{{sfn\\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\\|loc\\=I/II q24, a2}}",
"Aquinas's discussion of [sin](/wiki/Sin \"Sin\") provides a good point of entry to his philosophical explanation of why the nature of God is the standard for value. \"Every sin,\" he writes, \"consists in the longing for a passing \\[i.e., ultimately unreal or false] good.\"{{sfn\\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\\|loc\\=I/II 72,2}} Thus, \"in a certain sense it is true what Socrates says, namely that no one sins with full knowledge.\"{{sfn\\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\\|loc\\=I/II 58,2 and I/II 77,2}} \"No sin in the will happens without an ignorance of the understanding.\"Aquinas. *[Summa contra Gentiles](/wiki/Summa_contra_Gentiles \"Summa contra Gentiles\")* 4,92\\. God, however, has full knowledge ([omniscience](/wiki/Omniscience \"Omniscience\")) and therefore by definition (that of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle as well as Aquinas) can never will anything other than what is good. It has been claimed – for instance, by [Nicolai Hartmann](/wiki/Nicolai_Hartmann \"Nicolai Hartmann\"), who wrote: \"There is no freedom for the good that would not be at the same time freedom for evil\"Hartmann, Nicolai. *Ethik* (3rd edition). Berlin, 1949, p. 378\\. Cited in {{harvnb\\|Pieper\\|2001\\|pp\\=78–79}}. – that this would limit God's freedom, and therefore his omnipotence. [Josef Pieper](/wiki/Josef_Pieper \"Josef Pieper\"), however, replies that such arguments rest upon an impermissibly [anthropomorphic](/wiki/Anthropomorphic \"Anthropomorphic\") conception of God.{{sfn\\|Pieper\\|2001\\|p\\=79}} In the case of humans, as Aquinas says, to be able to sin is indeed a consequence,Aquinas. *[De Veritate](http://dhspriory.org/thomas/QDdeVer.htm) {{Webarchive\\|url\\=https://web.archive.org/web/20120419160140/http://dhspriory.org/thomas/QDdeVer.htm \\|date\\=2012\\-04\\-19 }}* 24,3 ad 2\\. or even a sign, of freedom (*quodam libertatis signum*).Aquinas. *De Veritate* 22,6\\. Humans, in other words, are not puppets manipulated by God so that they always do what is right. However, \"it does not belong to the [essence](/wiki/Essence \"Essence\") of the free will to be able to decide for evil.\"Aquinas. *De Veritate* 24,3 ad 2; *Commentary on the Sentences of Peter Lombard* 2d,44,1,1 ad 1\\. \"To will evil is neither freedom nor a part of freedom.\" It is precisely humans' creatureliness – that is, their not being God and therefore omniscient – that makes them capable of sinning.{{sfn\\|Pieper\\|2001\\|p\\=80}} Consequently, writes Pieper, \"the inability to sin should be looked on as the very signature of a higher freedom – contrary to the usual way of conceiving the issue.\"{{sfn\\|Pieper\\|2001\\|p\\=79}} Pieper concludes: \"Only *the* will \\[i.e., God's] can be the right standard of its own willing and must will what is right necessarily, from within itself, and always. A deviation from the norm would not even be thinkable. And obviously only the absolute divine will is the right standard of its own act\"{{sfn\\|Aquinas c. 1265–1274\\|loc\\=I 63,1 }}{{sfn\\|Pieper\\|2001\\|pp\\=80–81}} – and consequently of all human acts. Thus the second horn of the Euthyphro dilemma, divine command theory, is also disposed of.",
"Thomist philosopher [Edward Feser](/wiki/Edward_Feser \"Edward Feser\") writes, \"Divine simplicity \\[entails] that God's will just is God's goodness which just is His immutable and necessary existence. That means that what is objectively good and what God wills for us as morally obligatory are really the same thing considered under different descriptions, and that neither could have been other than they are. There can be no question then, either of God's having arbitrarily commanded something different for us (torturing babies for fun, or whatever) or of there being a standard of goodness apart from Him. Again, the Euthyphro dilemma is a false one; the third option that it fails to consider is that what is morally obligatory is what God commands in accordance with a non\\-arbitrary and unchanging standard of goodness that is not independent of Him... He is not *under* the moral law precisely because He *is* the moral law.\"{{Cite web \\|url\\=https://edwardfeser.blogspot.com/2010/10/god\\-obligation\\-and\\-euthyphro\\-dilemma.html \\|title\\=God, obligation, and the Euthyphro dilemma \\|last\\=Feser \\|first\\=Edward \\|date\\=26 October 2010 }}",
"#### William James",
"William James, in his essay \"[The Moral Philosopher and the Moral Life](/wiki/The_Moral_Philosopher_and_the_Moral_Life \"The Moral Philosopher and the Moral Life\")\", dismisses the first horn of the Euthyphro dilemma and stays clear of the second. He writes: \"Our ordinary attitude of regarding ourselves as subject to an overarching system of moral relations, true 'in themselves,' is ... either an out\\-and\\-out superstition, or else it must be treated as a merely provisional abstraction from that real Thinker ... to whom the existence of the universe is due.\"{{sfn\\|James\\|1891\\|loc\\=Section II}} Moral obligations are created by \"personal demands,\" whether these demands{{harvnb\\|Gale\\|1999\\|p\\=44}}: In his essay, \"James used 'desire', 'demand' and 'claim' interchangeably, using 'desire' and 'demand' each eleven times and 'claim' five.\" come from the weakest creatures, from the most insignificant persons, or from God. It follows that \"ethics have as genuine a foothold in a universe where the highest consciousness is human, as in a universe where there is a God as well.\" However, whether \"the purely human system\" works \"as well as the other is a different question.\"{{sfn\\|James\\|1891\\|loc\\=Section II}}",
"For James, the deepest practical difference in the moral life is between what he calls \"the easy\\-going and the strenuous mood.\"{{sfn\\|James\\|1891\\|loc\\=Section V}} In a purely human moral system, it is hard to rise above the easy\\-going mood, since the thinker's \"various ideals, known to him to be mere preferences of his own, are too nearly of the same denominational value;James is acutely aware of how hard it is to \"avoid complete moral skepticism on the one hand, and on the other escape bringing a wayward personal standard of our own along with us, on which we simply pin our faith.\" He briefly discusses several notions \"proposed as bases of the ethical system\", but finds little to help choose among them. ({{harvnb\\|James\\|1891\\|loc\\=Section III}}) he can play fast and loose with them at will. This too is why, in a merely human world without a God, the appeal to our moral energy falls short of its maximum stimulating power.\" Our attitude is \"entirely different\" in a world where there are none but \"finite demanders\" from that in a world where there is also \"an infinite demander.\" This is because \"the stable and systematic moral universe for which the ethical philosopher asks is fully possible only in a world where there is a divine thinker with all\\-enveloping demands\", for in that case, \"actualized in his thought already must be that ethical philosophy which we seek as the pattern which our own must evermore approach.\" Even though \"exactly what the thought of this infinite thinker may be is hidden from us\", our postulation of him serves \"to let loose in us the strenuous mood\"{{sfn\\|James\\|1891\\|loc\\=Section V}} and confront us with an [existential](/wiki/Existential \"Existential\"){{sfn\\|Gale\\|1999\\|p\\=40}} \"challenge\" in which \"our total character and personal genius ... are on trial; and if we invoke any so\\-called philosophy, our choice and use of that also are but revelations of our personal aptitude or incapacity for moral life. From this unsparing practical ordeal no professor's lectures and no array of books can save us.\"{{sfn\\|James\\|1891\\|loc\\=Section V}} In the words of [Richard M. Gale](/wiki/Richard_M._Gale \"Richard M. Gale\"), \"God inspires us to lead the morally strenuous life in virtue of our conceiving of him as unsurpassably *good*. This supplies James with an adequate answer to the underlying question of the *Euthyphro*.\"{{sfn\\|Gale\\|1999\\|p\\=44}}",

Crimes
------
Between 1992 and 1995, Rylkov committed a series of rapes on girls aged between 6 and 13\.{{cite magazine\|author\=Валерий Игнатов.\|date\=14 June 2000\|issue\=45\|url\=http://old.samara.ru/paper/128/2725/39366/\|title\=Пожизненно осуждённому дали ещё "пятнашку"\|publisher\=Самарский информационный портал\|accessdate\=2010\-04\-29\|language\=ru\|archive\-url\=https://web.archive.org/web/20091212195917/http://old.samara.ru/paper/128/2725/39366/\|archive\-date\=12 December 2009\|url\-status\=dead}} Taking advantage of the lack of adults, he broke into the victims' apartments (the victims said that Rylkov knocked on the door, then asked for water or to call an ambulance), raped them, and then robbed the apartment.
On February 7, 1996, Rylkov committed the first murder, killing 7\-year\-old Ruslan Tkachev. He easily convinced the boy to come with him and then brutally killed him in the Portship village of Tolyatti, inflicting several dozen stab wounds. Then Rylkov cut off the boy's genitals, ears, tongue, and eyes. Subsequently, when the corpse was discovered, the experts could not determine immediately the sex of the victim due to the heavy mutilation.
Soon Rylkov was detained by the police for lacking documents and public intoxication, but released after three days. Subsequently, he committed several dozen rapes, 2 of which ended in brutal murders. In one of these attacks, he broke into an apartment where an underage boy and his sister were in. The brother miraculously managed to escape, but Rylkov killed his sister with an axe. Soon Rylkov was identified by witnesses, and was put on a wanted list by the [judicial police](/wiki/Judicial_police "Judicial police").
On July 20, 1996, Rylkov killed another girl. The mutilated body was found in an abandoned bunker on the territory of a military unit. This time there were witnesses who claimed to have seen Rylkov with the girl on Topolina Street in Tolyatti, and a [facial composite](/wiki/Facial_composite "Facial composite") was soon created. By the evening, the man was identified as Oleg Rylkov. A few days later a police patrol, under the guise of selling [counterfeit money](/wiki/Counterfeit_money "Counterfeit money"), arrested Rylkov, who pretended to be a friend named Yashchenko. Rylkov then took a pledge not to leave the area and was let go. When several days later the real Yashchenko was summoned to the prosecutor's office, he appeared, and thanks to him the forgery was revealed. According to Yashchenko, his friend was planning to go to [Novokuznetsk](/wiki/Novokuznetsk "Novokuznetsk").
At that time, [another maniac](/wiki/Alexander_Spesivtsev "Alexander Spesivtsev") was operating in Novokuznetsk, whose modus operandi was similar to Rylkov's. Rylkov was also suspected in the murders of more than 20 children around the city. Through the television and newspapers, his name and data were given out. The investigation team working on the case of the "Novokuznetsk Monster" were initially unsuccessful in capturing Rylkov.
Rylkov was soon arrested in Tolyatti. Another victim of his was a 40\-year\-old woman who was sheltered at his dacha, whom he killed with an axe. As it later turned out, he never left Tolyatti, and was not involved in the Novokuznetsk murders, for which Alexander Spesivtsev was soon detained. Rylkov confessed to all of his crimes, except the very first murder. When asked about what he felt during the murders, he replied: "It sounds blasphemous, but something...a higher pleasure, or something".{{Cite web\|url\=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v\=mbpdZVsJ79I\|title\=Криминальная Россия \- Сибирский Потрошитель\|website\=\[\[YouTube]] \|access\-date\=2017\-11\-06}} In 1998, Rylkov was [sentenced to death](/wiki/Sentenced_to_death "Sentenced to death") for his crimes, but due to the [moratorium](/wiki/Moratorium_%28law%29 "Moratorium (law)") on the death sentence it was replaced with [life imprisonment](/wiki/Life_imprisonment "Life imprisonment"). The [Supreme Court of Russia](/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_Russia "Supreme Court of Russia") upheld the verdict without change.
After spending a little more than a year in prison, Rylkov confessed to his first murder. In June 2000 he was sentenced to 15 years in prison, but since he was already given life imprisonment, the sentence remained the same. Currently, he is serving his sentence at the [Black Dolphin Prison](/wiki/Black_Dolphin_Prison "Black Dolphin Prison").
In early 2012, Rylkov admitted that on the evening of May 27, 1994 in the attic of a house on the Ordzhonikidze Boulevard, he raped a 12\-year\-old child. In the autumn of the same year, Tolyatti police reported the disclosure of the rape of a minor committed more than 18 years ago in the elevator of a house on Sverdlov Street, to which Rylkov also confessed to.
In 2013, Rylkov confessed to murdering a 45\-year\-old woman in 1993, whose corpse was found with multiple knife injuries to the chest in the forest near the "Prilesye" sanatorium.{{Cite web\|url\=http://tltgorod.ru/news/?news\=35356\|title\=Самый кровавый маньяк Тольятти Рыльков признался ещё в одном убийстве}} However, the [Investigative Committee of Russia](/wiki/Investigative_Committee_of_Russia "Investigative Committee of Russia") could not confirm this, and the materials were sent back to the police.
In 2020 Rylkov was found guilty of the murders of two additional women and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. He is a suspect in three additional murders, but has not been charged.{{cn\|date\=July 2023}}

### Liang Kai's *Shussan Shaka*
[thumb\|Traditionally attributed to Hu Zhifu, *Śākyamuni Emerging from the Mountains*, Southern Song Dynasty, mid 13th century, hanging scroll, ink on paper, 92 x 31\.7 cm, Freer Gallery of Art.\|529x529px](/wiki/File:Sakyamuni_Emerging_from_the_Mountains_%E9%87%8B%E8%BF%A6%E5%87%BA%E5%B1%B1%E5%9C%96.jpg "Sakyamuni Emerging from the Mountains 釋迦出山圖.jpg")
Liang Kai's *Śākyamuni Descending the Mountain After Asceticism*, from the first half of the 13th century and now in the [Tokyo National Museum](/wiki/Tokyo_National_Museum "Tokyo National Museum"), is one of the oldest extant *Shussan Shaka* paintings, and the most famous. Produced under the patronage of [Emperor Ningzong](/wiki/Emperor_Ningzong "Emperor Ningzong") or [Emperor Lizong](/wiki/Emperor_Lizong "Emperor Lizong") of the [Southern Song dynasty](/wiki/Southern_Song_dynasty "Southern Song dynasty"), it is a classic example of a *Shussan Shaka* in the Chinese orthodox style. There is no inscription on this painting other than the artist's signature, which identifies him as "Painter\-in\-Attendance" at the Imperial Academy.
Liang Kai was not a Zen monk painter, but after he abandoned his position at the Imperial Academy and turned to a lifestyle of heavy drinking, his portraits came to suggest influences of the Chan painting tradition.{{Cite book\|title\=Japanese Ink Painting: Early Zen Masterpieces\|last\=Kanazawa\|first\=Hiroshi\|publisher\=Kodansha International Ltd.\|year\=1979\|location\=Tokyo\|pages\=84–87\|chapter\=Shaka Descending the Mountain}} Since his *Shussan Shaka* pre\-dates this move, however, it bears the mark of his earlier work: a carefully planned and executed "academic" style. According to the analysis of Hiroshi Kanazawa, Liang Kai's *Shakyamuni Descending the Mountain After Asceticism* presents the viewer with an as yet unenlightened Śākyamuni.
### The Cleveland *Shussan Shaka*
The painting of *Shussan Shaka* at the [Cleveland Museum of Art](/wiki/Cleveland_Museum_of_Art "Cleveland Museum of Art") is the oldest extant ink monochrome rendition of this theme. Although its artist is unknown, the work is based on the style of the painter Li Que. A member of the Southern Song literati who interacted closely with Chan priests, Li Que had in turn studied Liang Kai's later work, and was known for his spontaneous painting style.
Although depicting the same subject, the Cleveland *Shussan Shaka* differs radically in style from Liang Kai's version. In contrast to Liang Kai's *Shussan Shaka*, the Cleveland version includes only the ground and no other landscape elements. There is also much sparser detail on Śākyamuni's face and body. The artist has employed mostly light, washy ink tonalities with some dark details for an effect known as "apparition painting."
The Cleveland *Shussan Shaka* bears an inscription attributed to the Zen priest Chijue Daochong, (1170–1251\), which reads:
{{Quote\|text\=Since entering the mountain, too dried out and emaciated
Frosty cold over the snow,
After having a twinkling of revelation with impassioned eyes
Why then do you want to come back to the world?\|sign\=\|source\=Chijue Daochong}}In Brinker's view, Chijue Daocheng's poem exhibits an interpretation of this image as a portrait of the Buddha returning to society having already attained enlightenment, or "revelation," in the mountains. However, Carla M. Zainie notes that Chijue Daochong's tone of questioning leaves this point open to debate.
### The Freer *Shussan Shaka*
Scholars date the Chinese *Shussan Shaka* painting at the [Freer Gallery of Art](/wiki/Freer_Gallery_of_Art "Freer Gallery of Art") between 1239 and 1260, most likely close to 1250\. This painting of *Śākyamuni Emerging from the Mountains* has been dubiously attributed to Hu Zhifu, a man about whom little historical information is available.
This monochrome *Shussan Shaka* is characteristic of Chan painting style in the late\-Southern Song and Yuan Dynasties. While the work overall appears very carefully composed and executed, the fine detail of Sakyamuni's face and body is juxtaposed with the less meticulous character of his robes. The painter of the Freer *Shussan Shaka* went yet further than the painter of the Cleveland *Shussan Shaka* by eschewing background and landscape elements altogether.
The painting bears an inscription by Xiyan Liaohui (1198–1262\), a Chan abbot originally from Sichuan. Xiyan Liaohui's inscription, brushed in the "running script" style and emulating the hand of [Wuzhun Shifan](/wiki/Wuzhun_Shifan "Wuzhun Shifan"), reads:
{{Quote\|text\=At midnight he saw the morning star.
In the mountains his cold words had increased.
Before his feet emerged from the mountains
These words were running through the world:
"I see that all living \[creatures] are completed into Buddhas since some time.
There is only You, old fellow, who is still lacking complete Enlightenment.\|sign\=\|source\=Wuzhun Shifan}}
Helmut Brinker characterizes the tone of this colophon as "desperate" and "despairing," belying "frustration" and "discontent," presenting to the reader a Śākyamuni who has not yet reached his goal.

On 11 October 1809, a naval commission recommended purchase of the Milford Haven facility and formal establishment of a Royal Navy dockyard. This was, according to the report, due to the fact that Millford built\-ships had proved to be cheaper due to the cheap cost of supplies and abundant labour supply. It proposed purchase of the yard at £4,455\. However, as this was after the [Battle of Trafalgar](/wiki/Battle_of_Trafalgar "Battle of Trafalgar") (21 October 1805\), when the need for naval ships was decreasing in the [Napoleonic Wars](/wiki/Napoleonic_Wars "Napoleonic Wars"), and in such a remote location, the proposal seemed perplexing. However, in light of the end of the Franco\-Spanish naval engagement, and the merging of the two sides of the [Royal Navy](/wiki/Royal_Navy "Royal Navy") under the Admiralty Board, the fact that Frenchman Barallier would remain in charge strongly suggests to historians that the Royal Navy accepted that its ships manoeuvrability was inferior to those of the Franco\-Spanish alliance. In an effort to rectify this state of affairs the Royal Navy's first [School of Naval Architecture](/wiki/Royal_School_of_Naval_Architecture "Royal School of Naval Architecture") was opened in [Portsmouth](/wiki/Portsmouth "Portsmouth") in 1810\. Effectively then, Millford was to be set up as a model dockyard under French management, from which lessons could be learnt for implementation in other dockyards.

However, in light of the end of the Franco\\-Spanish naval engagement, and the merging of the two sides of the [Royal Navy](/wiki/Royal_Navy \"Royal Navy\") under the Admiralty Board, the fact that Frenchman Barallier would remain in charge strongly suggests to historians that the Royal Navy accepted that its ships manoeuvrability was inferior to those of the Franco\\-Spanish alliance.

Highly regarded artifacts in particular were the lacquered wine\-bowls and cosmetic boxes, which showcased the craftsmanship of the regional lacquerware industry.
Of the more famous artifacts from Mawangdui were its [silk](/wiki/Silk "Silk") funeral banners; these [T\-shaped](/wiki/T-shaped "T-shaped") banners were draped on the coffin of Tomb 1\. The banners depicted the Chinese abstraction of the cosmos and the afterlife at the time of the western Han dynasty. A silk banner of similar style and function were found in Tomb 3\.
The T\-shaped silk funeral banner in the tomb of the Marquise (Tomb 1\) is called the "name banner" with the written name of the deceased replaced with a portrait. We know the name because the tomb's original inventory is still intact, and this is what it is called on the inventory. The Marquise was buried in four coffins; the silk banner drapes the innermost of the coffins.{{cite book \|author\=Sherman E.Lee\|title\=A History of Far Eastern Art \|year\=1964 \|publisher\=Prentice\-Hall \|pages\=61–62 \|asin\=B002CNAZ3U}}
On the T\-shaped painted silk garment, the uppermost horizontal section of the T represents heaven. The bottom of the vertical section of the T represents the underworld. The middle (the top of the vertical) represents earth. In heaven we can see Chinese deities such as [Nuwa](/wiki/Nuwa "Nuwa") and [Chang'e](/wiki/Chang%27e "Chang'e"), as well as [Daoist](/wiki/Daoist "Daoist") symbols such as cranes (representing immortality). Between heaven and earth we can see heavenly messengers sent to bring Lady Dai to heaven. Underneath this are Lady Dai's family offering sacrifices to help her journey to heaven. Beneath them is the underworld, with two giant sea serpents intertwined.

Tomb 3 contained a silk name banner (similar to that of tomb 1\) and three maps drawn on silk: a topographic map, a military map and a prefecture map. The maps display the [Hunan](/wiki/Hunan "Hunan"), [Guangdong](/wiki/Guangdong "Guangdong") and [Guangxi](/wiki/Guangxi "Guangxi") region and depict the political boundary between the Han dynasty and [Nanyue](/wiki/Nanyue "Nanyue"). At the time of discovery, these were the oldest maps yet discovered in China, until 1986 when [Qin State](/wiki/Qin_%28state%29 "Qin (state)") maps dating to the 4th century BC were found.
Tomb 3 contained [a wealth of classical texts](/wiki/Mawangdui_Silk_Texts "Mawangdui Silk Texts").

History
-------
U.A. was founded on January 12, 1963, when the bishop of San Fernando, Most Reverend Emilio A. Cinense, D.D., assisted by Msgr. Pedro D. Puno, the Vicar General, concretized his dream of providing Christian education to the poor young men and women of Pampanga.
### Beginnings
The university was originally called **Assumption Junior College** and was on the third floor of the Assumpta Building in downtown San Fernando. The school was under the watchful eyes of Sr. Gunfrida Schneyer, O.S.B., who was at the time the Superior of the Community of Missionary Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing ([Germany](/wiki/Germany "Germany")).
The college began with an enrollment of 275 students. The degrees offered were Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science in Commerce, Bachelor of Science in Education, and Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education.
In 1965 the campus was transferred to its present site at the Unisite Subdivision, in Barangay Del Pilar. The Puno Building was then the only edifice on the campus. In the same year, the institution was granted government recognition as **"Assumption College of Pampanga".**
In 1966, Rev. Fr. Aniceto M. Franco became the dean and rector Sr. Mary Philip Ryan, O.P. and the Dominican Sisters of Our Lady of Remedies assisted in the supervision of the grade school and high school. Sr. Mary Philip Ryan was also the superior of the Dominican community whose members performed active roles in the institution's affairs as faculty members and administrators.
In 1969, the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering was added to the roster of degrees offered. To accommodate the increase in number of enrollees, the Ryan Building and Benedictine Building were constructed. During the term of Fr. Franco the Archbishop Emilio Cinense Gymnasium was built.
In 1974, Rev. Fr. Octavio M. Ramos was appointed as the first president of the institution. Fr. Ramos worked for the government recognition of new degrees: Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics, Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering, and Bachelor of Science in Architecture. The Graduate School was organized with Master in Business Administration as its first program.
### From college to university
The college was granted University status on March 29, 1980, by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports and was named **University of the Assumption**.
Consequently, enrollment soared and the following buildings were built to accommodate the growing number of students:
* The Nutrition building
* The Grade School building, named after Rev. Msgr. Octavio M. Ramos
* The Msgr. Guerrero building which houses the University Chapel and the Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz Museum and Archives
* The Multi\-Purpose Hall
* The Ryan Hall extension
* The Puno Hall extension
* The Alumni building
* The Post Office
* The Waiting Shed
Under Fr. Ramos, the university was chosen as a site for the Regional Staff Development Center, the Nutrition Center, the Decentralized Learning Resource Center, and the Educational Development Implementation Task Force for Region III. Under his term the Outreach Ministry was launched.
### Further expansion
In 1986, Rev. Fr. Cenovio M. Lumanog, Ph.D. was appointed president of the university. On June 13, 1988 the Department of Education, Culture and Sports granted U.A. the recognition to offer a Doctorate degree in Education.
In 1990, the Most Rev. Jesus C. Galang, D.D., then the Auxiliary Bishop of San Fernando, was installed as the president. During his incumbency, the Archbishop V. Cruz building and the Library building (now Most Rev. Jesus C. Galang Building) were constructed. During his term the Bachelor of Science in Accountancy was added to the courses offerings.
### Modernization
Rev. Msgr. Ricardo Jesus T. Serrano, S.L.D. assumed the role as university president in 1992\. The following programs were added to the curriculum under his leadership: Master's degree in Public Administration; Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management; Bachelor of Science in Commerce with a major in computer science; and a Master of Education with majors in Early Childhood, Mathematics, Filipino and English.
In 1998, Mass Communication and Interior Design were added as among the majors in Liberal Arts. In the same year, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) granted the university the permission to convert AB major in Social Work to Bachelor of Science in Social Work.
Msgr. Serrano was responsible in implementing anti\-lahar and anti\-flood interventions. The Grade School building and the Archbishop Cinense Gymnasium underwent major renovations. It was expanded to include three wings: the Msgr. Lumanog Building, the Msgr. Ramos Building, and the Franco Building. To meet the needs of the growing student populace, rooms at the Archdiocese of San Fernando building (ASF) and the Diocese of San Fernando building (DSF) were occupied to house the computer laboratories, and modern typing, and lecture rooms. Modernization of the campus included two additional audio\-visual rooms, an Internet Center, computer rooms, and multimedia classrooms.
A tennis court with a mini club house were added to enhance the sports and athletic facilities on campus. The newest buildings on campus are the Hotel and Restaurant Management building, presently known as the Domus Mariae International Center (the UA Hotel); and the new High School Building (Phases 1 and 2\). Other enhancements include the UA Facade; the UA Radio Studio; the UA TV Studio, the Speech Laboratory and the Archbishop Aniceto Student Center Building.
In 2007, His Excellency Most Reverend Roberto C. Mallari, D.D., Auxiliary Bishop of San Fernando, Pampanga, was installed as the fifth president. He is ably assisted by Rev. Fr. Winifredo Santos who was later replaced by Dr. Mediatriz D. Martin for Academic Affairs, Rev. Fr. Manuel Sta. Maria for Administration, and Rev. Fr. Deogracias Kerr S. Galang for Finance.
After serving the university for almost five years, Bishop Roberto Mallari, D.D. was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI to head the Diocese of San Jose in Nueva Ecija. Thus, on August 22, 2012, Rev. Fr. Joselito C. Henson, S.Th.D. was installed as the sixth president of the university.
On May 28, 2013, Rev. Fr. Victor S. Nicdao and Mrs. Belina Katigbak were installed as VP for Administration and VP for Finance, respectively. They took over from Rev. Fr. Manuel C. Sta. Maria and Rev. Fr. Deogracias Kerr S. Galang.
On July 31, 2024, Rev. Fr. Oliver G. Yalung, DL, Ph.D. was installed as the seventh president of the university. Mr. Arnel T. Sicat, Ph.D. was also installed as the new VP for Academic Affairs.
### Recently
At present, the university is offering new programs, namely, Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management, Bachelor of Science in Information Technology and Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering.
Aside from the new course offerings, the new administration has concluded its first Collective Bargaining Agreement with the union without hassles. Salaries of employees were adjusted to a level most acceptable to all parties.
With the convenience of the students as the main driving force, the Execom under the leadership of Bishop Bobet initiated the construction of the St. Thomas Aquinas Students Courtyard (STACY) which serves as the student center and the remodeling of the main entrance which is now called as the "Gates of Excellence".{{citation needed\|date\=February 2013}}
### Golden Jubilee
The university celebrated its 50th founding anniversary on January 13, 2013\. In unity with the victims of the recent calamity,{{which\|date\=April 2018}} the administration decided to have a simple celebration starting with the launching of the year\-long celebration on September 7, 2012\. The highlight of the celebration was in January 2013 during the foundation week.

Fictional character biography
-----------------------------
### Pre\-*Crisis*
#### Golden Age
Professor Hugo Strange first appears in *Detective Comics* \#36 (February 1940\) as a scientist and criminal mastermind who uses a stolen "concentrated lightning" machine to generate a dense fog every night so his gang can rob banks unseen, though he knows that Batman poses a threat to him. [Batman](/wiki/Batman "Batman"), who already knows of Strange's experiments, begins investigating him after one of his henchmen commits a murder. When the robbers are apprehended, Strange vows to set a trap for Batman and deal with him personally. He has a dozen of his men ambush the vigilante, and one of them knocks him out with a blackjack. Batman wakes up in Strange's lair, where Strange hangs him from his wrists and lashes him with a whip. Batman breaks the ropes, gasses the room, and defeats Strange, who is jailed but quickly begins planning his escape.*Detective Comics* \#36\. DC Comics.
In *Batman* \#1 (spring 1940\), he carries out his escape plan, recruits a new gang of criminals, then breaks out "five insane patients" from the local [asylum](/wiki/Arkham_Asylum "Arkham Asylum") and uses them as test subjects, turning them into hulking 15 ft. tall monsters by administering a powerful artificial growth hormone that acts on the [pituitary gland](/wiki/Pituitary_gland "Pituitary gland"). He outfits them with bulletproof clothing, and uses them to rampage through [Gotham City](/wiki/Gotham_City "Gotham City") and distract the police while his men commit robberies. Strange administers the serum to Batman after the giants capture him, saying it will work in 18 hours. Batman tricks two of the monsters into killing each other, and then formulates a drug that prevents any abnormal secretions from the pituitary gland, preventing the transformation. He is then able to kill all the other monsters, and sends Strange to his apparent death in a fall from a cliff, although he suspects that the mad scientist has survived.*Batman* \#1\. DC Comics.
In *Detective Comics* \#46 (December 1940\), Strange returns and starts spreading a fear\-inducing powder around the city until a punch from Batman again sends him falling off a cliff to his apparent death.*Detective Comics* \#46\. DC Comics.
#### Earth\-One
He returned years later in the 1970s in the "Strange Apparitions" story arc in *Detective Comics* \#469\-479 (May 1977\-September–October 1978\). Having survived his earlier "death" (how this happened is never explained, seen or shown, although this may be another example of the differences in continuity between Golden Age and Earth\-One stories), Strange left Gotham City and went to Europe for several years, where his criminal career prospered with no one to challenge him. Bored and hoping to pit his wits against Batman again, Strange, now using the alias of Dr. Todhunter, opens a private hospital, Graytowers Clinic, for Gotham's wealthiest citizens, where he holds them for ransom before mutating them into mindless monsters.{{cite book \|last1\=Cowsill \|first1\=Alan \|last2\=Irvine \|first2\=Alex \|last3\=Manning \|first3\=Matthew K. \|last4\=McAvennie \|first4\=Michael \|last5\=Wallace \|first5\=Daniel \|title\=DC Comics Year By Year: A Visual Chronicle \|date\=2019 \|publisher\=DK Publishing \|isbn\=978\-1\-4654\-8578\-6 \|page\=166}} When Bruce Wayne checks into the hospital to recover discreetly from radiation burns he sustained while fighting [Doctor Phosphorus](/wiki/Doctor_Phosphorus "Doctor Phosphorus"), Strange finds out that Wayne is Batman and uses this information to wreak havoc on his personal life. Strange then attempts to auction off the identity of Batman to Gotham City Councilman "Boss" [Rupert Thorne](/wiki/Rupert_Thorne "Rupert Thorne"), [Penguin](/wiki/Penguin_%28character%29 "Penguin (character)"), and [Joker](/wiki/Joker_%28character%29 "Joker (character)"). Not wanting to lose, Thorne has Strange abducted and beaten by his men to reveal Batman's identity, but Strange apparently dies without ever telling him. Strange's ghost then comes back to haunt Thorne, driving the Councilman insane. Thorne confesses his long career of corruption and is sent to [Arkham Asylum](/wiki/Arkham_Asylum "Arkham Asylum").*Detective Comics* \#469–476\. DC Comics.
Strange's ghost returns again to haunt Thorne in *Detective Comics* \#513 (April 1982\), \#516 (July 1982\), \#518 (September 1982\), and \#520 (November 1982\) and *Batman* \#354 (December 1982\), leading up to the appearance of the *real* Hugo Strange in the last panel of the last page of the fifth issue mentioned here. As revealed two issues later in *Batman* \#356 (February 1983\), Strange had indeed survived the beating from Thorne's men by using [yoga](/wiki/Yoga "Yoga") techniques to slow his heartbeat to an undetectable level. It is also revealed that Strange also artificially created the "ghost" of himself that haunted Thorne by using strategically\-placed devices that simulated the appearance of a spirit. Upon his return, Strange used the devices again to bring back the "ghost" so he could punish Thorne for double\-crossing him. Subsequently, Strange attempts to weaken Bruce Wayne through the use of drugs and lifelike robots called Mandroids, with the ultimate goal of destroying Wayne completely so that Strange could take his place as Batman. The plan fails, and Strange apparently dies once more when he attempts to kill Batman by blowing up a replica of [Wayne Manor](/wiki/Wayne_Manor "Wayne Manor") with himself in it, stating that if *he* cannot be Batman, then *no* one can. Batman survives the explosion, but no trace of Strange is found.*Detective Comics* \#513, 516, 518, and 520 and *Batman* \#354 and 356\. DC Comics.
Later, Strange returns yet again (the Hugo Strange that "died" in the explosion was revealed by the real Strange to be a Mandroid) in *Batman Annual* \#10 (1986\), in another attempt to destroy Batman and Bruce Wayne, this time attempting to financially bankrupt Wayne by using various tricks to force three Wayne Enterprises shareholders to sell their stock holdings to him so he could bankrupt the company. He also attempts to frame Batman as a criminal. However, Strange is defeated and sent to prison. Batman is able to stop Strange from further exploiting his knowledge of his secret identity by falsely claiming that he hypnotized Strange to give him a fake idea of Batman's true identity just before [Commissioner Gordon](/wiki/Jim_Gordon_%28character%29 "Jim Gordon (character)") shows up to arrest him; his explanation is so convincing that Strange begins to wonder if Batman is attempting a complex double\-bluff by letting him *think* that Bruce Wayne is Batman and thus doubts whether his original conclusion was correct.*Batman Annual* \#10\. DC Comics.
#### Earth\-Two
The [Earth\-Two](/wiki/Earth-Two "Earth-Two") version of Strange has a similar early history to the Earth\-One version and also survives the fall that he experienced in *Detective Comics* \#46\. In *The Brave and the Bold* \#182 (January 1982\), it is revealed that he is left paralyzed by the fall but, after years of physical therapy, he regains enough movement to write out the surgical techniques needed to repair the damage to his body \- and bribes a surgeon to perform the operation. The surgeon lacks Strange's skill, and the operation leaves Strange physically deformed (the surgeon is then killed for his failure). Strange uses one of his devices to capture [Starman](/wiki/Starman_%28Ted_Knight%29 "Starman (Ted Knight)")'s Cosmic Rod to use its power to attack everyone and everything that [Batman](/wiki/Batman_%28Earth-Two%29 "Batman (Earth-Two)") holds dear. He generates a storm in Gotham to obtain the device, which creates a dimensional doorway to [Earth\-One](/wiki/Earth-One "Earth-One"), bringing that universe's Batman over to Earth\-Two, which allows him and Earth\-Two's [Robin](/wiki/Robin_%28Earth-Two%29 "Robin (Earth-Two)") to join with Earth\-Two's [Batwoman](/wiki/Batwoman_%28Kathy_Kane%29 "Batwoman (Kathy Kane)") in defeating Strange. Strange realizes that he is, in fact, angry at his own wasted life and deformed body, so he uses the Cosmic Rod to commit suicide.*The Brave and the Bold* \#182\. DC Comics.
### Post\-*Crisis*
In the post\-[*Crisis*](/wiki/Crisis_on_Infinite_Earths "Crisis on Infinite Earths") continuity, Strange was reintroduced in the "[Prey](/wiki/Batman:Prey "Prey")" storyline as an eccentric private psychiatrist enlisted to help a task force assigned to capture Batman by providing them with a psychological profile of the vigilante. While brilliant at his work, Strange is depicted as being equally unbalanced: he becomes so obsessed with the case, he starts wearing a replica Batman costume in private, convinced that he alone understands the darkness that drives Batman.
According to [Commissioner Gordon](/wiki/Jim_Gordon_%28character%29 "Jim Gordon (character)"), Strange was "abandoned as a child, grew up in state homes. A bright kid, but he apparently had a hell of a temper. Nobody knows *how* he put himself through college and medical school." Strange was raised in an orphanage on the lower East Side of Gotham City, in a neighborhood known as "Hell's Crucible". As an adult, he became a professor of psychiatry at Gotham State University, but had his tenure suspended after using his position to promote a series of increasingly bizarre genetic engineering theories. He is approached by an Indian man named Sanjay, who seeks Strange's aid in curing his sick brother. Strange agrees to help, and Sanjay works loyally by his side from that point onward. Borrowing money from gangster [Sal Maroni](/wiki/Sal_Maroni "Sal Maroni"), who is in the employ of Gotham kingpin [Carmine Falcone](/wiki/Carmine_Falcone "Carmine Falcone"), Strange sets up a private laboratory to test his theories. He then bribes a corrupt orderly to supply him with ideal test subjects: incurably insane inmates from [Arkham Asylum](/wiki/Arkham_Asylum "Arkham Asylum") who have been institutionalized for so long that they will not be missed.
Strange's experiments have literally monstrous results, with his test subjects turning into gigantic, mindless "[Monster Men](/wiki/Batman_and_the_Monster_Men "Batman and the Monster Men")", possessing superhuman strength and [cannibalistic](/wiki/Human_cannibalism "Human cannibalism") instincts. Strange uses the Monster Men to commit crimes so he can put together the money needed to pay back his Mafia connections. Batman becomes involved after discovering some of the gruesome remains of the Monster's Men's cannibalistic rampages. When Strange sets his creations free at an illegal poker game, helping himself to the victims' money after the slaughter, the Gotham Mafia begins to grow suspicious. Batman tracks Strange down, but is captured by Sanjay and thrown to the Monster Men as an intended meal. Batman not only holds off the creatures, but uses them as part of an inventive escape. Strange is enthralled by Batman, believing that he has found a genetically perfect man. He creates one final Monster Man using a drop of Batman's blood, and while his creation still has many of the flaws of its "brothers", it lacks most of the grotesque disfigurements that had plagued Strange's earlier creations. Strange is subsequently forced to destroy his lab to evade capture. Soon after, he turns the Monster Men loose, including Sanjay's brother (who had also been mutated as a result of Strange's "treatments"), at Falcone's private estate in a bid to wipe out the Mob's leaders, erasing his debt and covering up their ties to his work. In the battle that follows, all of the Monster Men are killed, along with Sanjay (who abandons Strange and dies trying to avenge his brother). Strange escapes amid the chaos, and succeeds in eradicating all links between himself and his experiments. Confident that his criminal past is permanently buried, he begins to appear on TV by reinventing himself as a "psychological expert" on Batman.*Dark Moon Rising: Batman and the Monster Men* \#1–6\. DC Comics.
It is possible that the events of [Doug Moench](/wiki/Doug_Moench "Doug Moench") and [Paul Gulacy](/wiki/Paul_Gulacy "Paul Gulacy")'s "Prey" storyline take place at this point. Partly due to Strange's appearances on TV claiming to understand Batman's motives, Captain [James Gordon](/wiki/Jim_Gordon_%28character%29 "Jim Gordon (character)") is ordered to assemble a task force to apprehend the vigilante, with Strange assisting him as a consultant to deduce Batman's secret identity. As the task force's investigation progresses, Strange grows increasingly maniacal in his obsession with Batman, going so far as expressing a desire to become Batman and dressing up in a replica Batsuit. To that end, Strange attempts to kill the Caped Crusader. However, Strange repeatedly underestimates the level of physical conditioning that is needed to be Batman. Strange also diagnoses Batman with various mental illnesses, such as explaining Batman's use of a costume as symptomatic of [dissociative identity disorder](/wiki/Dissociative_identity_disorder "Dissociative identity disorder"), whereas Gordon more accurately explains the Batsuit's intended purpose as scaring criminals. Strange eventually concludes that Bruce Wayne is most likely Batman, brainwashes the task force's commander to impersonate Batman to turn the public against him and sends him to kidnap the Mayor's daughter while dressed as the Dark Knight. Despite Strange's attempt to psychologically "break" Batman by creating recordings and setting up mannequins of [Thomas](/wiki/Thomas_Wayne "Thomas Wayne") and [Martha Wayne](/wiki/Martha_Wayne "Martha Wayne") blaming Bruce for their deaths, even using [Wayne Manor](/wiki/Wayne_Manor "Wayne Manor") itself to enhance his illusions, Bruce is able to collect himself and focus in the Batcave. The following day, he confronts Strange and tricks him into doubting his own hypothesis about Batman's secret identity, claiming that his parents are alive and living in [Paraguay](/wiki/Paraguay "Paraguay"). Strange is ultimately exposed and shot by the task force when he attempts to escape, before falling into a river and being presumed dead.*Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight* \#11–15\. DC Comics.
In [Doug Moench](/wiki/Doug_Moench "Doug Moench")'s "Terror" storyline, Strange mysteriously returns. He decides to work with another of Batman's enemies, the [Scarecrow](/wiki/Scarecrow_%28DC_Comics%29 "Scarecrow (DC Comics)"), and use him as a tool to help him capture Batman, while simultaneously having fallen into a further delusional state, as he engages in a "relationship" with a female mannequin dressed in Batman's cowl, reflecting his warped dual admiration and loathing of Batman. The Scarecrow turns on Strange when the professor's therapy proves effective enough to turn the Scarecrow against his "benefactor", tricking Strange into falling into the cellar of his mansion base where the twisted psychiatrist is impaled on a weather vane that the Scarecrow had left in the cellar earlier. The Scarecrow then uses Strange's mansion as a trap for Batman, but his attempt to use Strange's plan fails when he tries to use Crime Alley as the scene of a trap while ignorant of the reasons *why* that alley is so significant to Batman, with his "trap" merely consisting of luring Batman into the alley and decapitating a former classmate of Crane's in front of the hero. With [Catwoman](/wiki/Catwoman "Catwoman")'s help, Batman locates the Scarecrow's hideout and catches the Scarecrow in the cellar with Strange's body before the house is destroyed in a fire, but loses sight of Strange, with it being unclear whether Strange had actually survived the fall onto the weather vane{{spaced ndash}}he claimed that he lured rats to himself by using his sweat so that he could eat them{{spaced ndash}}or if the Scarecrow and Batman were hallucinating from exposure to Crane's new fear gas, although Batman concludes that the subsequent explosion of the house has definitely killed Strange.*Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight* \#137–141\. DC Comics.
*Dark Moon Rising: Batman and the Monster Men*, "Prey" and "Terror" all take place during Batman's early years. In the modern timeline, Strange returns in a four\-part storyline called "Transference". Initially appearing in his own Batsuit, he captures Catwoman with the aid of his henchwoman Dora{{spaced ndash}}a former patient whom he has subjected to extensive mental conditioning by Strange to act as a new "Catwoman"{{spaced ndash}}and attempts to interrogate her about Batman's current status, Strange dismissing the existence of Batman's new allies by proclaiming them to be "parasites", as he cannot accept that Batman would share his "power" with anyone. He is then shown posing as a psychiatrist doing standard stress evaluations at [Wayne Enterprises](/wiki/Wayne_Enterprises "Wayne Enterprises"). While Bruce Wayne is on the couch, Strange drugs him with a powerful hallucinogen to coax Wayne into admitting that he is Batman. Wayne is able to escape by using cleaning fluid to start a fire, fakes Batman's death by destroying the [Batmobile](/wiki/Batmobile "Batmobile") with him supposedly in it, and triggers a post\-[hypnotic](/wiki/Hypnosis "Hypnosis") suggestion in himself, forcing him to completely repress the Batman aspect of his mind until [Robin](/wiki/Robin_%28Tim_Drake%29 "Robin (Tim Drake)") and [Nightwing](/wiki/Dick_Grayson "Dick Grayson") can defeat Strange. Faced with Nightwing and Robin each denying that Wayne is Batman and witnessing Wayne's complete lack of combat reflexes and training, Strange becomes concerned that his theory that Bruce Wayne is Batman has been disproved and realizes that he will never be able to learn the truth now that he "*killed*" the Dark Knight. Faced with this conflicting situation, Strange has a mental breakdown and voluntarily turns himself in at [Arkham Asylum](/wiki/Arkham_Asylum "Arkham Asylum").*Batman: Gotham Knights* \#8–11\. DC Comics.

"Fictional character biography\n-----------------------------",
"### Pre\\-*Crisis*",
"#### Golden Age",
"Professor Hugo Strange first appears in *Detective Comics* \\#36 (February 1940\\) as a scientist and criminal mastermind who uses a stolen \"concentrated lightning\" machine to generate a dense fog every night so his gang can rob banks unseen, though he knows that Batman poses a threat to him. [Batman](/wiki/Batman \"Batman\"), who already knows of Strange's experiments, begins investigating him after one of his henchmen commits a murder. When the robbers are apprehended, Strange vows to set a trap for Batman and deal with him personally. He has a dozen of his men ambush the vigilante, and one of them knocks him out with a blackjack. Batman wakes up in Strange's lair, where Strange hangs him from his wrists and lashes him with a whip. Batman breaks the ropes, gasses the room, and defeats Strange, who is jailed but quickly begins planning his escape.*Detective Comics* \\#36\\. DC Comics.",
"In *Batman* \\#1 (spring 1940\\), he carries out his escape plan, recruits a new gang of criminals, then breaks out \"five insane patients\" from the local [asylum](/wiki/Arkham_Asylum \"Arkham Asylum\") and uses them as test subjects, turning them into hulking 15 ft. tall monsters by administering a powerful artificial growth hormone that acts on the [pituitary gland](/wiki/Pituitary_gland \"Pituitary gland\"). He outfits them with bulletproof clothing, and uses them to rampage through [Gotham City](/wiki/Gotham_City \"Gotham City\") and distract the police while his men commit robberies. Strange administers the serum to Batman after the giants capture him, saying it will work in 18 hours. Batman tricks two of the monsters into killing each other, and then formulates a drug that prevents any abnormal secretions from the pituitary gland, preventing the transformation. He is then able to kill all the other monsters, and sends Strange to his apparent death in a fall from a cliff, although he suspects that the mad scientist has survived.*Batman* \\#1\\. DC Comics.",
"In *Detective Comics* \\#46 (December 1940\\), Strange returns and starts spreading a fear\\-inducing powder around the city until a punch from Batman again sends him falling off a cliff to his apparent death.*Detective Comics* \\#46\\. DC Comics.",
"#### Earth\\-One",
"He returned years later in the 1970s in the \"Strange Apparitions\" story arc in *Detective Comics* \\#469\\-479 (May 1977\\-September–October 1978\\). Having survived his earlier \"death\" (how this happened is never explained, seen or shown, although this may be another example of the differences in continuity between Golden Age and Earth\\-One stories), Strange left Gotham City and went to Europe for several years, where his criminal career prospered with no one to challenge him. Bored and hoping to pit his wits against Batman again, Strange, now using the alias of Dr. Todhunter, opens a private hospital, Graytowers Clinic, for Gotham's wealthiest citizens, where he holds them for ransom before mutating them into mindless monsters.{{cite book \\|last1\\=Cowsill \\|first1\\=Alan \\|last2\\=Irvine \\|first2\\=Alex \\|last3\\=Manning \\|first3\\=Matthew K. \\|last4\\=McAvennie \\|first4\\=Michael \\|last5\\=Wallace \\|first5\\=Daniel \\|title\\=DC Comics Year By Year: A Visual Chronicle \\|date\\=2019 \\|publisher\\=DK Publishing \\|isbn\\=978\\-1\\-4654\\-8578\\-6 \\|page\\=166}} When Bruce Wayne checks into the hospital to recover discreetly from radiation burns he sustained while fighting [Doctor Phosphorus](/wiki/Doctor_Phosphorus \"Doctor Phosphorus\"), Strange finds out that Wayne is Batman and uses this information to wreak havoc on his personal life. Strange then attempts to auction off the identity of Batman to Gotham City Councilman \"Boss\" [Rupert Thorne](/wiki/Rupert_Thorne \"Rupert Thorne\"), [Penguin](/wiki/Penguin_%28character%29 \"Penguin (character)\"), and [Joker](/wiki/Joker_%28character%29 \"Joker (character)\"). Not wanting to lose, Thorne has Strange abducted and beaten by his men to reveal Batman's identity, but Strange apparently dies without ever telling him. Strange's ghost then comes back to haunt Thorne, driving the Councilman insane. Thorne confesses his long career of corruption and is sent to [Arkham Asylum](/wiki/Arkham_Asylum \"Arkham Asylum\").*Detective Comics* \\#469–476\\. DC Comics.",
"Strange's ghost returns again to haunt Thorne in *Detective Comics* \\#513 (April 1982\\), \\#516 (July 1982\\), \\#518 (September 1982\\), and \\#520 (November 1982\\) and *Batman* \\#354 (December 1982\\), leading up to the appearance of the *real* Hugo Strange in the last panel of the last page of the fifth issue mentioned here. As revealed two issues later in *Batman* \\#356 (February 1983\\), Strange had indeed survived the beating from Thorne's men by using [yoga](/wiki/Yoga \"Yoga\") techniques to slow his heartbeat to an undetectable level. It is also revealed that Strange also artificially created the \"ghost\" of himself that haunted Thorne by using strategically\\-placed devices that simulated the appearance of a spirit. Upon his return, Strange used the devices again to bring back the \"ghost\" so he could punish Thorne for double\\-crossing him. Subsequently, Strange attempts to weaken Bruce Wayne through the use of drugs and lifelike robots called Mandroids, with the ultimate goal of destroying Wayne completely so that Strange could take his place as Batman. The plan fails, and Strange apparently dies once more when he attempts to kill Batman by blowing up a replica of [Wayne Manor](/wiki/Wayne_Manor \"Wayne Manor\") with himself in it, stating that if *he* cannot be Batman, then *no* one can. Batman survives the explosion, but no trace of Strange is found.*Detective Comics* \\#513, 516, 518, and 520 and *Batman* \\#354 and 356\\. DC Comics.",
"Later, Strange returns yet again (the Hugo Strange that \"died\" in the explosion was revealed by the real Strange to be a Mandroid) in *Batman Annual* \\#10 (1986\\), in another attempt to destroy Batman and Bruce Wayne, this time attempting to financially bankrupt Wayne by using various tricks to force three Wayne Enterprises shareholders to sell their stock holdings to him so he could bankrupt the company. He also attempts to frame Batman as a criminal. However, Strange is defeated and sent to prison. Batman is able to stop Strange from further exploiting his knowledge of his secret identity by falsely claiming that he hypnotized Strange to give him a fake idea of Batman's true identity just before [Commissioner Gordon](/wiki/Jim_Gordon_%28character%29 \"Jim Gordon (character)\") shows up to arrest him; his explanation is so convincing that Strange begins to wonder if Batman is attempting a complex double\\-bluff by letting him *think* that Bruce Wayne is Batman and thus doubts whether his original conclusion was correct.*Batman Annual* \\#10\\. DC Comics.",
"#### Earth\\-Two",
"The [Earth\\-Two](/wiki/Earth-Two \"Earth-Two\") version of Strange has a similar early history to the Earth\\-One version and also survives the fall that he experienced in *Detective Comics* \\#46\\. In *The Brave and the Bold* \\#182 (January 1982\\), it is revealed that he is left paralyzed by the fall but, after years of physical therapy, he regains enough movement to write out the surgical techniques needed to repair the damage to his body \\- and bribes a surgeon to perform the operation. The surgeon lacks Strange's skill, and the operation leaves Strange physically deformed (the surgeon is then killed for his failure). Strange uses one of his devices to capture [Starman](/wiki/Starman_%28Ted_Knight%29 \"Starman (Ted Knight)\")'s Cosmic Rod to use its power to attack everyone and everything that [Batman](/wiki/Batman_%28Earth-Two%29 \"Batman (Earth-Two)\") holds dear. He generates a storm in Gotham to obtain the device, which creates a dimensional doorway to [Earth\\-One](/wiki/Earth-One \"Earth-One\"), bringing that universe's Batman over to Earth\\-Two, which allows him and Earth\\-Two's [Robin](/wiki/Robin_%28Earth-Two%29 \"Robin (Earth-Two)\") to join with Earth\\-Two's [Batwoman](/wiki/Batwoman_%28Kathy_Kane%29 \"Batwoman (Kathy Kane)\") in defeating Strange. Strange realizes that he is, in fact, angry at his own wasted life and deformed body, so he uses the Cosmic Rod to commit suicide.*The Brave and the Bold* \\#182\\. DC Comics.",
"### Post\\-*Crisis*",
"In the post\\-[*Crisis*](/wiki/Crisis_on_Infinite_Earths \"Crisis on Infinite Earths\") continuity, Strange was reintroduced in the \"[Prey](/wiki/Batman:Prey \"Prey\")\" storyline as an eccentric private psychiatrist enlisted to help a task force assigned to capture Batman by providing them with a psychological profile of the vigilante. While brilliant at his work, Strange is depicted as being equally unbalanced: he becomes so obsessed with the case, he starts wearing a replica Batman costume in private, convinced that he alone understands the darkness that drives Batman.",
"According to [Commissioner Gordon](/wiki/Jim_Gordon_%28character%29 \"Jim Gordon (character)\"), Strange was \"abandoned as a child, grew up in state homes. A bright kid, but he apparently had a hell of a temper. Nobody knows *how* he put himself through college and medical school.\" Strange was raised in an orphanage on the lower East Side of Gotham City, in a neighborhood known as \"Hell's Crucible\". As an adult, he became a professor of psychiatry at Gotham State University, but had his tenure suspended after using his position to promote a series of increasingly bizarre genetic engineering theories. He is approached by an Indian man named Sanjay, who seeks Strange's aid in curing his sick brother. Strange agrees to help, and Sanjay works loyally by his side from that point onward. Borrowing money from gangster [Sal Maroni](/wiki/Sal_Maroni \"Sal Maroni\"), who is in the employ of Gotham kingpin [Carmine Falcone](/wiki/Carmine_Falcone \"Carmine Falcone\"), Strange sets up a private laboratory to test his theories. He then bribes a corrupt orderly to supply him with ideal test subjects: incurably insane inmates from [Arkham Asylum](/wiki/Arkham_Asylum \"Arkham Asylum\") who have been institutionalized for so long that they will not be missed.",
"Strange's experiments have literally monstrous results, with his test subjects turning into gigantic, mindless \"[Monster Men](/wiki/Batman_and_the_Monster_Men \"Batman and the Monster Men\")\", possessing superhuman strength and [cannibalistic](/wiki/Human_cannibalism \"Human cannibalism\") instincts. Strange uses the Monster Men to commit crimes so he can put together the money needed to pay back his Mafia connections. Batman becomes involved after discovering some of the gruesome remains of the Monster's Men's cannibalistic rampages. When Strange sets his creations free at an illegal poker game, helping himself to the victims' money after the slaughter, the Gotham Mafia begins to grow suspicious. Batman tracks Strange down, but is captured by Sanjay and thrown to the Monster Men as an intended meal. Batman not only holds off the creatures, but uses them as part of an inventive escape. Strange is enthralled by Batman, believing that he has found a genetically perfect man. He creates one final Monster Man using a drop of Batman's blood, and while his creation still has many of the flaws of its \"brothers\", it lacks most of the grotesque disfigurements that had plagued Strange's earlier creations. Strange is subsequently forced to destroy his lab to evade capture. Soon after, he turns the Monster Men loose, including Sanjay's brother (who had also been mutated as a result of Strange's \"treatments\"), at Falcone's private estate in a bid to wipe out the Mob's leaders, erasing his debt and covering up their ties to his work. In the battle that follows, all of the Monster Men are killed, along with Sanjay (who abandons Strange and dies trying to avenge his brother). Strange escapes amid the chaos, and succeeds in eradicating all links between himself and his experiments. Confident that his criminal past is permanently buried, he begins to appear on TV by reinventing himself as a \"psychological expert\" on Batman.*Dark Moon Rising: Batman and the Monster Men* \\#1–6\\. DC Comics.",
"It is possible that the events of [Doug Moench](/wiki/Doug_Moench \"Doug Moench\") and [Paul Gulacy](/wiki/Paul_Gulacy \"Paul Gulacy\")'s \"Prey\" storyline take place at this point. Partly due to Strange's appearances on TV claiming to understand Batman's motives, Captain [James Gordon](/wiki/Jim_Gordon_%28character%29 \"Jim Gordon (character)\") is ordered to assemble a task force to apprehend the vigilante, with Strange assisting him as a consultant to deduce Batman's secret identity. As the task force's investigation progresses, Strange grows increasingly maniacal in his obsession with Batman, going so far as expressing a desire to become Batman and dressing up in a replica Batsuit. To that end, Strange attempts to kill the Caped Crusader. However, Strange repeatedly underestimates the level of physical conditioning that is needed to be Batman. Strange also diagnoses Batman with various mental illnesses, such as explaining Batman's use of a costume as symptomatic of [dissociative identity disorder](/wiki/Dissociative_identity_disorder \"Dissociative identity disorder\"), whereas Gordon more accurately explains the Batsuit's intended purpose as scaring criminals. Strange eventually concludes that Bruce Wayne is most likely Batman, brainwashes the task force's commander to impersonate Batman to turn the public against him and sends him to kidnap the Mayor's daughter while dressed as the Dark Knight. Despite Strange's attempt to psychologically \"break\" Batman by creating recordings and setting up mannequins of [Thomas](/wiki/Thomas_Wayne \"Thomas Wayne\") and [Martha Wayne](/wiki/Martha_Wayne \"Martha Wayne\") blaming Bruce for their deaths, even using [Wayne Manor](/wiki/Wayne_Manor \"Wayne Manor\") itself to enhance his illusions, Bruce is able to collect himself and focus in the Batcave. The following day, he confronts Strange and tricks him into doubting his own hypothesis about Batman's secret identity, claiming that his parents are alive and living in [Paraguay](/wiki/Paraguay \"Paraguay\"). Strange is ultimately exposed and shot by the task force when he attempts to escape, before falling into a river and being presumed dead.*Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight* \\#11–15\\. DC Comics.",
"In [Doug Moench](/wiki/Doug_Moench \"Doug Moench\")'s \"Terror\" storyline, Strange mysteriously returns. He decides to work with another of Batman's enemies, the [Scarecrow](/wiki/Scarecrow_%28DC_Comics%29 \"Scarecrow (DC Comics)\"), and use him as a tool to help him capture Batman, while simultaneously having fallen into a further delusional state, as he engages in a \"relationship\" with a female mannequin dressed in Batman's cowl, reflecting his warped dual admiration and loathing of Batman. The Scarecrow turns on Strange when the professor's therapy proves effective enough to turn the Scarecrow against his \"benefactor\", tricking Strange into falling into the cellar of his mansion base where the twisted psychiatrist is impaled on a weather vane that the Scarecrow had left in the cellar earlier. The Scarecrow then uses Strange's mansion as a trap for Batman, but his attempt to use Strange's plan fails when he tries to use Crime Alley as the scene of a trap while ignorant of the reasons *why* that alley is so significant to Batman, with his \"trap\" merely consisting of luring Batman into the alley and decapitating a former classmate of Crane's in front of the hero. With [Catwoman](/wiki/Catwoman \"Catwoman\")'s help, Batman locates the Scarecrow's hideout and catches the Scarecrow in the cellar with Strange's body before the house is destroyed in a fire, but loses sight of Strange, with it being unclear whether Strange had actually survived the fall onto the weather vane{{spaced ndash}}he claimed that he lured rats to himself by using his sweat so that he could eat them{{spaced ndash}}or if the Scarecrow and Batman were hallucinating from exposure to Crane's new fear gas, although Batman concludes that the subsequent explosion of the house has definitely killed Strange.*Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight* \\#137–141\\. DC Comics.",
"*Dark Moon Rising: Batman and the Monster Men*, \"Prey\" and \"Terror\" all take place during Batman's early years. In the modern timeline, Strange returns in a four\\-part storyline called \"Transference\". Initially appearing in his own Batsuit, he captures Catwoman with the aid of his henchwoman Dora{{spaced ndash}}a former patient whom he has subjected to extensive mental conditioning by Strange to act as a new \"Catwoman\"{{spaced ndash}}and attempts to interrogate her about Batman's current status, Strange dismissing the existence of Batman's new allies by proclaiming them to be \"parasites\", as he cannot accept that Batman would share his \"power\" with anyone. He is then shown posing as a psychiatrist doing standard stress evaluations at [Wayne Enterprises](/wiki/Wayne_Enterprises \"Wayne Enterprises\"). While Bruce Wayne is on the couch, Strange drugs him with a powerful hallucinogen to coax Wayne into admitting that he is Batman. Wayne is able to escape by using cleaning fluid to start a fire, fakes Batman's death by destroying the [Batmobile](/wiki/Batmobile \"Batmobile\") with him supposedly in it, and triggers a post\\-[hypnotic](/wiki/Hypnosis \"Hypnosis\") suggestion in himself, forcing him to completely repress the Batman aspect of his mind until [Robin](/wiki/Robin_%28Tim_Drake%29 \"Robin (Tim Drake)\") and [Nightwing](/wiki/Dick_Grayson \"Dick Grayson\") can defeat Strange. Faced with Nightwing and Robin each denying that Wayne is Batman and witnessing Wayne's complete lack of combat reflexes and training, Strange becomes concerned that his theory that Bruce Wayne is Batman has been disproved and realizes that he will never be able to learn the truth now that he \"*killed*\" the Dark Knight. Faced with this conflicting situation, Strange has a mental breakdown and voluntarily turns himself in at [Arkham Asylum](/wiki/Arkham_Asylum \"Arkham Asylum\").*Batman: Gotham Knights* \\#8–11\\.

In *Batman* \#1 (spring 1940\), he carries out his escape plan, recruits a new gang of criminals, then breaks out "five insane patients" from the local [asylum](/wiki/Arkham_Asylum "Arkham Asylum") and uses them as test subjects, turning them into hulking 15 ft. tall monsters by administering a powerful artificial growth hormone that acts on the [pituitary gland](/wiki/Pituitary_gland "Pituitary gland"). He outfits them with bulletproof clothing, and uses them to rampage through [Gotham City](/wiki/Gotham_City "Gotham City") and distract the police while his men commit robberies. Strange administers the serum to Batman after the giants capture him, saying it will work in 18 hours. Batman tricks two of the monsters into killing each other, and then formulates a drug that prevents any abnormal secretions from the pituitary gland, preventing the transformation. He is then able to kill all the other monsters, and sends Strange to his apparent death in a fall from a cliff, although he suspects that the mad scientist has survived.*Batman* \#1\. DC Comics.
In *Detective Comics* \#46 (December 1940\), Strange returns and starts spreading a fear\-inducing powder around the city until a punch from Batman again sends him falling off a cliff to his apparent death.*Detective Comics* \#46\. DC Comics.
#### Earth\-One
He returned years later in the 1970s in the "Strange Apparitions" story arc in *Detective Comics* \#469\-479 (May 1977\-September–October 1978\). Having survived his earlier "death" (how this happened is never explained, seen or shown, although this may be another example of the differences in continuity between Golden Age and Earth\-One stories), Strange left Gotham City and went to Europe for several years, where his criminal career prospered with no one to challenge him. Bored and hoping to pit his wits against Batman again, Strange, now using the alias of Dr. Todhunter, opens a private hospital, Graytowers Clinic, for Gotham's wealthiest citizens, where he holds them for ransom before mutating them into mindless monsters.{{cite book \|last1\=Cowsill \|first1\=Alan \|last2\=Irvine \|first2\=Alex \|last3\=Manning \|first3\=Matthew K. \|last4\=McAvennie \|first4\=Michael \|last5\=Wallace \|first5\=Daniel \|title\=DC Comics Year By Year: A Visual Chronicle \|date\=2019 \|publisher\=DK Publishing \|isbn\=978\-1\-4654\-8578\-6 \|page\=166}} When Bruce Wayne checks into the hospital to recover discreetly from radiation burns he sustained while fighting [Doctor Phosphorus](/wiki/Doctor_Phosphorus "Doctor Phosphorus"), Strange finds out that Wayne is Batman and uses this information to wreak havoc on his personal life. Strange then attempts to auction off the identity of Batman to Gotham City Councilman "Boss" [Rupert Thorne](/wiki/Rupert_Thorne "Rupert Thorne"), [Penguin](/wiki/Penguin_%28character%29 "Penguin (character)"), and [Joker](/wiki/Joker_%28character%29 "Joker (character)"). Not wanting to lose, Thorne has Strange abducted and beaten by his men to reveal Batman's identity, but Strange apparently dies without ever telling him. Strange's ghost then comes back to haunt Thorne, driving the Councilman insane. Thorne confesses his long career of corruption and is sent to [Arkham Asylum](/wiki/Arkham_Asylum "Arkham Asylum").*Detective Comics* \#469–476\. DC Comics.
Strange's ghost returns again to haunt Thorne in *Detective Comics* \#513 (April 1982\), \#516 (July 1982\), \#518 (September 1982\), and \#520 (November 1982\) and *Batman* \#354 (December 1982\), leading up to the appearance of the *real* Hugo Strange in the last panel of the last page of the fifth issue mentioned here. As revealed two issues later in *Batman* \#356 (February 1983\), Strange had indeed survived the beating from Thorne's men by using [yoga](/wiki/Yoga "Yoga") techniques to slow his heartbeat to an undetectable level. It is also revealed that Strange also artificially created the "ghost" of himself that haunted Thorne by using strategically\-placed devices that simulated the appearance of a spirit. Upon his return, Strange used the devices again to bring back the "ghost" so he could punish Thorne for double\-crossing him. Subsequently, Strange attempts to weaken Bruce Wayne through the use of drugs and lifelike robots called Mandroids, with the ultimate goal of destroying Wayne completely so that Strange could take his place as Batman. The plan fails, and Strange apparently dies once more when he attempts to kill Batman by blowing up a replica of [Wayne Manor](/wiki/Wayne_Manor "Wayne Manor") with himself in it, stating that if *he* cannot be Batman, then *no* one can. Batman survives the explosion, but no trace of Strange is found.*Detective Comics* \#513, 516, 518, and 520 and *Batman* \#354 and 356\. DC Comics.
Later, Strange returns yet again (the Hugo Strange that "died" in the explosion was revealed by the real Strange to be a Mandroid) in *Batman Annual* \#10 (1986\), in another attempt to destroy Batman and Bruce Wayne, this time attempting to financially bankrupt Wayne by using various tricks to force three Wayne Enterprises shareholders to sell their stock holdings to him so he could bankrupt the company. He also attempts to frame Batman as a criminal. However, Strange is defeated and sent to prison. Batman is able to stop Strange from further exploiting his knowledge of his secret identity by falsely claiming that he hypnotized Strange to give him a fake idea of Batman's true identity just before [Commissioner Gordon](/wiki/Jim_Gordon_%28character%29 "Jim Gordon (character)") shows up to arrest him; his explanation is so convincing that Strange begins to wonder if Batman is attempting a complex double\-bluff by letting him *think* that Bruce Wayne is Batman and thus doubts whether his original conclusion was correct.*Batman Annual* \#10\. DC Comics.
#### Earth\-Two
The [Earth\-Two](/wiki/Earth-Two "Earth-Two") version of Strange has a similar early history to the Earth\-One version and also survives the fall that he experienced in *Detective Comics* \#46\. In *The Brave and the Bold* \#182 (January 1982\), it is revealed that he is left paralyzed by the fall but, after years of physical therapy, he regains enough movement to write out the surgical techniques needed to repair the damage to his body \- and bribes a surgeon to perform the operation. The surgeon lacks Strange's skill, and the operation leaves Strange physically deformed (the surgeon is then killed for his failure). Strange uses one of his devices to capture [Starman](/wiki/Starman_%28Ted_Knight%29 "Starman (Ted Knight)")'s Cosmic Rod to use its power to attack everyone and everything that [Batman](/wiki/Batman_%28Earth-Two%29 "Batman (Earth-Two)") holds dear. He generates a storm in Gotham to obtain the device, which creates a dimensional doorway to [Earth\-One](/wiki/Earth-One "Earth-One"), bringing that universe's Batman over to Earth\-Two, which allows him and Earth\-Two's [Robin](/wiki/Robin_%28Earth-Two%29 "Robin (Earth-Two)") to join with Earth\-Two's [Batwoman](/wiki/Batwoman_%28Kathy_Kane%29 "Batwoman (Kathy Kane)") in defeating Strange. Strange realizes that he is, in fact, angry at his own wasted life and deformed body, so he uses the Cosmic Rod to commit suicide.*The Brave and the Bold* \#182\. DC Comics.

### Post\-*Crisis*
In the post\-[*Crisis*](/wiki/Crisis_on_Infinite_Earths "Crisis on Infinite Earths") continuity, Strange was reintroduced in the "[Prey](/wiki/Batman:Prey "Prey")" storyline as an eccentric private psychiatrist enlisted to help a task force assigned to capture Batman by providing them with a psychological profile of the vigilante. While brilliant at his work, Strange is depicted as being equally unbalanced: he becomes so obsessed with the case, he starts wearing a replica Batman costume in private, convinced that he alone understands the darkness that drives Batman.
According to [Commissioner Gordon](/wiki/Jim_Gordon_%28character%29 "Jim Gordon (character)"), Strange was "abandoned as a child, grew up in state homes. A bright kid, but he apparently had a hell of a temper. Nobody knows *how* he put himself through college and medical school." Strange was raised in an orphanage on the lower East Side of Gotham City, in a neighborhood known as "Hell's Crucible". As an adult, he became a professor of psychiatry at Gotham State University, but had his tenure suspended after using his position to promote a series of increasingly bizarre genetic engineering theories. He is approached by an Indian man named Sanjay, who seeks Strange's aid in curing his sick brother. Strange agrees to help, and Sanjay works loyally by his side from that point onward. Borrowing money from gangster [Sal Maroni](/wiki/Sal_Maroni "Sal Maroni"), who is in the employ of Gotham kingpin [Carmine Falcone](/wiki/Carmine_Falcone "Carmine Falcone"), Strange sets up a private laboratory to test his theories. He then bribes a corrupt orderly to supply him with ideal test subjects: incurably insane inmates from [Arkham Asylum](/wiki/Arkham_Asylum "Arkham Asylum") who have been institutionalized for so long that they will not be missed.
Strange's experiments have literally monstrous results, with his test subjects turning into gigantic, mindless "[Monster Men](/wiki/Batman_and_the_Monster_Men "Batman and the Monster Men")", possessing superhuman strength and [cannibalistic](/wiki/Human_cannibalism "Human cannibalism") instincts. Strange uses the Monster Men to commit crimes so he can put together the money needed to pay back his Mafia connections. Batman becomes involved after discovering some of the gruesome remains of the Monster's Men's cannibalistic rampages. When Strange sets his creations free at an illegal poker game, helping himself to the victims' money after the slaughter, the Gotham Mafia begins to grow suspicious. Batman tracks Strange down, but is captured by Sanjay and thrown to the Monster Men as an intended meal. Batman not only holds off the creatures, but uses them as part of an inventive escape. Strange is enthralled by Batman, believing that he has found a genetically perfect man. He creates one final Monster Man using a drop of Batman's blood, and while his creation still has many of the flaws of its "brothers", it lacks most of the grotesque disfigurements that had plagued Strange's earlier creations. Strange is subsequently forced to destroy his lab to evade capture. Soon after, he turns the Monster Men loose, including Sanjay's brother (who had also been mutated as a result of Strange's "treatments"), at Falcone's private estate in a bid to wipe out the Mob's leaders, erasing his debt and covering up their ties to his work. In the battle that follows, all of the Monster Men are killed, along with Sanjay (who abandons Strange and dies trying to avenge his brother). Strange escapes amid the chaos, and succeeds in eradicating all links between himself and his experiments. Confident that his criminal past is permanently buried, he begins to appear on TV by reinventing himself as a "psychological expert" on Batman.*Dark Moon Rising: Batman and the Monster Men* \#1–6\. DC Comics.
It is possible that the events of [Doug Moench](/wiki/Doug_Moench "Doug Moench") and [Paul Gulacy](/wiki/Paul_Gulacy "Paul Gulacy")'s "Prey" storyline take place at this point. Partly due to Strange's appearances on TV claiming to understand Batman's motives, Captain [James Gordon](/wiki/Jim_Gordon_%28character%29 "Jim Gordon (character)") is ordered to assemble a task force to apprehend the vigilante, with Strange assisting him as a consultant to deduce Batman's secret identity. As the task force's investigation progresses, Strange grows increasingly maniacal in his obsession with Batman, going so far as expressing a desire to become Batman and dressing up in a replica Batsuit. To that end, Strange attempts to kill the Caped Crusader. However, Strange repeatedly underestimates the level of physical conditioning that is needed to be Batman. Strange also diagnoses Batman with various mental illnesses, such as explaining Batman's use of a costume as symptomatic of [dissociative identity disorder](/wiki/Dissociative_identity_disorder "Dissociative identity disorder"), whereas Gordon more accurately explains the Batsuit's intended purpose as scaring criminals. Strange eventually concludes that Bruce Wayne is most likely Batman, brainwashes the task force's commander to impersonate Batman to turn the public against him and sends him to kidnap the Mayor's daughter while dressed as the Dark Knight. Despite Strange's attempt to psychologically "break" Batman by creating recordings and setting up mannequins of [Thomas](/wiki/Thomas_Wayne "Thomas Wayne") and [Martha Wayne](/wiki/Martha_Wayne "Martha Wayne") blaming Bruce for their deaths, even using [Wayne Manor](/wiki/Wayne_Manor "Wayne Manor") itself to enhance his illusions, Bruce is able to collect himself and focus in the Batcave. The following day, he confronts Strange and tricks him into doubting his own hypothesis about Batman's secret identity, claiming that his parents are alive and living in [Paraguay](/wiki/Paraguay "Paraguay"). Strange is ultimately exposed and shot by the task force when he attempts to escape, before falling into a river and being presumed dead.*Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight* \#11–15\. DC Comics.
In [Doug Moench](/wiki/Doug_Moench "Doug Moench")'s "Terror" storyline, Strange mysteriously returns. He decides to work with another of Batman's enemies, the [Scarecrow](/wiki/Scarecrow_%28DC_Comics%29 "Scarecrow (DC Comics)"), and use him as a tool to help him capture Batman, while simultaneously having fallen into a further delusional state, as he engages in a "relationship" with a female mannequin dressed in Batman's cowl, reflecting his warped dual admiration and loathing of Batman. The Scarecrow turns on Strange when the professor's therapy proves effective enough to turn the Scarecrow against his "benefactor", tricking Strange into falling into the cellar of his mansion base where the twisted psychiatrist is impaled on a weather vane that the Scarecrow had left in the cellar earlier. The Scarecrow then uses Strange's mansion as a trap for Batman, but his attempt to use Strange's plan fails when he tries to use Crime Alley as the scene of a trap while ignorant of the reasons *why* that alley is so significant to Batman, with his "trap" merely consisting of luring Batman into the alley and decapitating a former classmate of Crane's in front of the hero. With [Catwoman](/wiki/Catwoman "Catwoman")'s help, Batman locates the Scarecrow's hideout and catches the Scarecrow in the cellar with Strange's body before the house is destroyed in a fire, but loses sight of Strange, with it being unclear whether Strange had actually survived the fall onto the weather vane{{spaced ndash}}he claimed that he lured rats to himself by using his sweat so that he could eat them{{spaced ndash}}or if the Scarecrow and Batman were hallucinating from exposure to Crane's new fear gas, although Batman concludes that the subsequent explosion of the house has definitely killed Strange.*Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight* \#137–141\. DC Comics.
*Dark Moon Rising: Batman and the Monster Men*, "Prey" and "Terror" all take place during Batman's early years. In the modern timeline, Strange returns in a four\-part storyline called "Transference". Initially appearing in his own Batsuit, he captures Catwoman with the aid of his henchwoman Dora{{spaced ndash}}a former patient whom he has subjected to extensive mental conditioning by Strange to act as a new "Catwoman"{{spaced ndash}}and attempts to interrogate her about Batman's current status, Strange dismissing the existence of Batman's new allies by proclaiming them to be "parasites", as he cannot accept that Batman would share his "power" with anyone. He is then shown posing as a psychiatrist doing standard stress evaluations at [Wayne Enterprises](/wiki/Wayne_Enterprises "Wayne Enterprises"). While Bruce Wayne is on the couch, Strange drugs him with a powerful hallucinogen to coax Wayne into admitting that he is Batman. Wayne is able to escape by using cleaning fluid to start a fire, fakes Batman's death by destroying the [Batmobile](/wiki/Batmobile "Batmobile") with him supposedly in it, and triggers a post\-[hypnotic](/wiki/Hypnosis "Hypnosis") suggestion in himself, forcing him to completely repress the Batman aspect of his mind until [Robin](/wiki/Robin_%28Tim_Drake%29 "Robin (Tim Drake)") and [Nightwing](/wiki/Dick_Grayson "Dick Grayson") can defeat Strange. Faced with Nightwing and Robin each denying that Wayne is Batman and witnessing Wayne's complete lack of combat reflexes and training, Strange becomes concerned that his theory that Bruce Wayne is Batman has been disproved and realizes that he will never be able to learn the truth now that he "*killed*" the Dark Knight. Faced with this conflicting situation, Strange has a mental breakdown and voluntarily turns himself in at [Arkham Asylum](/wiki/Arkham_Asylum "Arkham Asylum").*Batman: Gotham Knights* \#8–11\. DC Comics.
Strange next reappears as the head of a gang of supervillains attempting to take control of Gotham's East Side, then controlled by [Catwoman](/wiki/Catwoman "Catwoman"). Catwoman joins Strange's gang, then allows its members to "find out" that she intends to betray them, faking her death when they attempt to eliminate her. Although she defeats and imprisons most of the gang, and even convinces Strange to leave the East Side alone, Strange still mocks her by pointing out that he had faked his own death far more often than she had.*Catwoman* (vol. 3\) \#46–49\. DC Comics.
In *Batman* \#665, Batman tells Tim Drake that a huge man dressed like a combination of [Bane](/wiki/Bane_%28DC_Comics%29 "Bane (DC Comics)") and Batman had beaten him up and he suspects that the impostor had used "Hugo Strange's monster serum and daily Venom shots" to gain his size and strength.*Batman* \#665\. DC Comics.
In the story arc *[Gotham Underground](/wiki/Gotham_Underground "Gotham Underground")*, Strange is associating with other supervillains such as the [Mad Hatter](/wiki/Mad_Hatter_%28DC_Comics%29 "Mad Hatter (DC Comics)"), [Doctor Death](/wiki/Doctor_Death_%28comics%29 "Doctor Death (comics)") and [Two\-Face](/wiki/Two-Face "Two-Face"). Strange and the others are rounded up by the [Suicide Squad](/wiki/Suicide_Squad "Suicide Squad").*Batman: Gotham Underground* \#1 and 3\. DC Comics.
Strange takes part in the miniseries *[Salvation Run](/wiki/Salvation_Run "Salvation Run")*. He is among the supervillains imprisoned on another planet.*Salvation Run* \#2\. DC Comics.
Strange also appears in *[The Batman Adventures](/wiki/The_Batman_Adventures "The Batman Adventures")*, which is set in the [DC Animated Universe](/wiki/DC_Animated_Universe "DC Animated Universe"). Issues \#35\-36 of the comic book provide him with a tragic backstory: he witnessed the murder of his son David by Mob boss [Rupert Thorne](/wiki/Rupert_Thorne "Rupert Thorne") and was so overcome with grief that he sought to literally erase the memory with his mind control technology. The plan backfired, however; following the experiment, he could remember nothing *but* his son's death. After Batman stops him from killing Thorne, Strange is imprisoned in Arkham Asylum.*The Batman Adventures* \#35–36\. DC Comics.

Despite Strange's attempt to psychologically \"break\" Batman by creating recordings and setting up mannequins of [Thomas](/wiki/Thomas_Wayne \"Thomas Wayne\") and [Martha Wayne](/wiki/Martha_Wayne \"Martha Wayne\") blaming Bruce for their deaths, even using [Wayne Manor](/wiki/Wayne_Manor \"Wayne Manor\") itself to enhance his illusions, Bruce is able to collect himself and focus in the Batcave. The following day, he confronts Strange and tricks him into doubting his own hypothesis about Batman's secret identity, claiming that his parents are alive and living in [Paraguay](/wiki/Paraguay \"Paraguay\"). Strange is ultimately exposed and shot by the task force when he attempts to escape, before falling into a river and being presumed dead.*Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight* \\#11–15\\. DC Comics.",
"In [Doug Moench](/wiki/Doug_Moench \"Doug Moench\")'s \"Terror\" storyline, Strange mysteriously returns. He decides to work with another of Batman's enemies, the [Scarecrow](/wiki/Scarecrow_%28DC_Comics%29 \"Scarecrow (DC Comics)\"), and use him as a tool to help him capture Batman, while simultaneously having fallen into a further delusional state, as he engages in a \"relationship\" with a female mannequin dressed in Batman's cowl, reflecting his warped dual admiration and loathing of Batman. The Scarecrow turns on Strange when the professor's therapy proves effective enough to turn the Scarecrow against his \"benefactor\", tricking Strange into falling into the cellar of his mansion base where the twisted psychiatrist is impaled on a weather vane that the Scarecrow had left in the cellar earlier. The Scarecrow then uses Strange's mansion as a trap for Batman, but his attempt to use Strange's plan fails when he tries to use Crime Alley as the scene of a trap while ignorant of the reasons *why* that alley is so significant to Batman, with his \"trap\" merely consisting of luring Batman into the alley and decapitating a former classmate of Crane's in front of the hero. With [Catwoman](/wiki/Catwoman \"Catwoman\")'s help, Batman locates the Scarecrow's hideout and catches the Scarecrow in the cellar with Strange's body before the house is destroyed in a fire, but loses sight of Strange, with it being unclear whether Strange had actually survived the fall onto the weather vane{{spaced ndash}}he claimed that he lured rats to himself by using his sweat so that he could eat them{{spaced ndash}}or if the Scarecrow and Batman were hallucinating from exposure to Crane's new fear gas, although Batman concludes that the subsequent explosion of the house has definitely killed Strange.*Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight* \\#137–141\\.

"*Dark Moon Rising: Batman and the Monster Men*, \"Prey\" and \"Terror\" all take place during Batman's early years. In the modern timeline, Strange returns in a four\\-part storyline called \"Transference\". Initially appearing in his own Batsuit, he captures Catwoman with the aid of his henchwoman Dora{{spaced ndash}}a former patient whom he has subjected to extensive mental conditioning by Strange to act as a new \"Catwoman\"{{spaced ndash}}and attempts to interrogate her about Batman's current status, Strange dismissing the existence of Batman's new allies by proclaiming them to be \"parasites\", as he cannot accept that Batman would share his \"power\" with anyone. He is then shown posing as a psychiatrist doing standard stress evaluations at [Wayne Enterprises](/wiki/Wayne_Enterprises \"Wayne Enterprises\"). While Bruce Wayne is on the couch, Strange drugs him with a powerful hallucinogen to coax Wayne into admitting that he is Batman. Wayne is able to escape by using cleaning fluid to start a fire, fakes Batman's death by destroying the [Batmobile](/wiki/Batmobile \"Batmobile\") with him supposedly in it, and triggers a post\\-[hypnotic](/wiki/Hypnosis \"Hypnosis\") suggestion in himself, forcing him to completely repress the Batman aspect of his mind until [Robin](/wiki/Robin_%28Tim_Drake%29 \"Robin (Tim Drake)\") and [Nightwing](/wiki/Dick_Grayson \"Dick Grayson\") can defeat Strange. Faced with Nightwing and Robin each denying that Wayne is Batman and witnessing Wayne's complete lack of combat reflexes and training, Strange becomes concerned that his theory that Bruce Wayne is Batman has been disproved and realizes that he will never be able to learn the truth now that he \"*killed*\" the Dark Knight. Faced with this conflicting situation, Strange has a mental breakdown and voluntarily turns himself in at [Arkham Asylum](/wiki/Arkham_Asylum \"Arkham Asylum\").*Batman: Gotham Knights* \\#8–11\\.

Catwoman joins Strange's gang, then allows its members to \"find out\" that she intends to betray them, faking her death when they attempt to eliminate her. Although she defeats and imprisons most of the gang, and even convinces Strange to leave the East Side alone, Strange still mocks her by pointing out that he had faked his own death far more often than she had.*Catwoman* (vol. 3\\) \\#46–49\\.

"In *Batman* \\#665, Batman tells Tim Drake that a huge man dressed like a combination of [Bane](/wiki/Bane_%28DC_Comics%29 \"Bane (DC Comics)\") and Batman had beaten him up and he suspects that the impostor had used \"Hugo Strange's monster serum and daily Venom shots\" to gain his size and strength.*Batman* \\#665\\.
