Disaster recovery plan - wikipedia Disaster recovery plan Jump to : navigation , search A disaster recovery plan ( DRP ) is a documented process or set of procedures to recover and protect a business IT infrastructure in the event of a disaster . Such a plan , ordinarily documented in written form , specifies procedures an organization is to follow in the event of a disaster . It is `` a comprehensive statement of consistent actions to be taken before , during and after a disaster '' . The disaster could be natural , environmental or man - made . Man - made disasters could be intentional ( for example , an act of a terrorist ) or unintentional ( that is , accidental , such as the breakage of a man - made dam ) . Given organizations ' increasing dependency on information technology to run their operations , a disaster recovery plan , sometimes erroneously called a Continuity of Operations Plan ( COOP ) , is increasingly associated with the recovery of information technology data , assets , and facilities .

The objective of a disaster recovery plan is to minimize downtime and data loss . The primary objective is to protect the organization in the event that all or part of its operations and / or computer services are rendered unusable . The plan minimizes the disruption of operations and ensures that some level of organizational stability and an orderly recovery after a disaster will prevail . Minimizing downtime and data loss is measured in terms of two concepts : the recovery time objective ( RTO ) and the recovery point objective ( RPO ) . The recovery time objective is the time within which a business process must be restored , after a major incident ( MI ) has occurred , in order to avoid unacceptable consequences associated with a break in business continuity . The recovery point objective ( RPO ) is the age of files that must be recovered from backup storage for normal operations to resume if a computer , system , or network goes down as a result of a MI . The RPO is expressed backwards in time ( that is , into the past ) starting from the instant at which the MI occurs , and can be specified in seconds , minutes , hours , or days . The recovery point objective ( RPO ) is thus the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time . It is the age of the files or data in backup storage required to resume normal operations after the MI . A DR plan illustrating the chronology of the RPO and the RTO with respect to the MI . Relationship to the business Continuity plan ( edit ) According to the SANS institute , the Business Continuity Plan ( BCP ) is a comprehensive organizational plan that includes the disaster recovery plan . The Institute further states that a Business Continuity Plan ( BCP ) consists of the five component plans : Business Resumption Plan Occupant Emergency Plan Continuity of Operations Plan Incident Management Plan Disaster Recovery Plan The Institute states that the first three plans ( Business Resumption , Occupant Emergency , and Continuity of Operations Plans ) do not deal with the IT infrastructure . They further state that the Incident Management Plan ( IMP ) does deal with the IT infrastructure , but since it establishes structure and procedures to address cyber attacks against an organization 's IT systems , it generally does not represent an agent for activating the Disaster Recovery Plan , leaving The Disaster Recovery Plan as the only BCP component of interest to IT . Disaster Recovery Institute International states that disaster recovery is the area of business continuity that deals with technology recovery as opposed to the recovery of business operations . Benefits ( edit ) Like every insurance plan , there are benefits that can be obtained from the drafting of a disaster recovery plan . Some of these benefits are : Providing a sense of security Minimizing risk of delays Guaranteeing the reliability of standby systems Providing a standard for testing the plan Minimizing decision - making during a disaster Reducing potential legal liabilities Lowering unnecessarily stressful work environment Types of plans ( edit ) There is no one right type of disaster recovery plan , nor is there a one - size - fits - all disaster recovery plan . However , there are three basic strategies that feature in all disaster recovery plans : ( 1 ) preventive measures , ( 2 ) detective measures , and ( 3 ) corrective measures . Preventive measures will try to prevent a disaster from occurring . These measures seek to identify and reduce risks . They are designed to mitigate or prevent an event from happening . These measures may include keeping data backed up and off site , using surge protectors , installing generators and conducting routine inspections . Detective measures are taken to discover the presence of any unwanted events within the IT infrastructure . Their aim is to uncover new potential threats . They may detect or uncover unwanted events . These measures include installing fire alarms , using up - to - date antivirus software , holding employee training sessions , and installing server and network monitoring software . Corrective measures are aimed to restore a system after a disaster or otherwise unwanted event takes place . These measures focus on fixing or restoring the systems after a disaster . Corrective measures may include keeping critical documents in the Disaster Recovery Plan or securing proper insurance policies , after a `` lessons learned '' brainstorming session . A disaster recovery plan must answer at least three basic questions : ( 1 ) what is its objective and purpose , ( 2 ) who will be the people or teams who will be responsible in case any disruptions happen , and ( 3 ) what will these people do ( the procedures to be followed ) when the disaster strikes . Types of disasters ( edit ) The tsunami that affected Japan in 2011 , a type of natural disaster September 11 , 2001 , in New York City , a type of man - made disaster : it caused pollution , loss of lives , property damage , and considerable data loss Disasters can be natural or man - made . Man - made disasters could be intentional ( for example , sabotage or an act of terrorism ) or unintentional ( that is , accidental , such as the breakage of a man - made dam ) . Disasters may encompass more than weather . They may involve Internet threats or take on other man - made manifestations such as theft . Natural disaster ( edit ) Main article : Natural disaster A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from the earth 's natural hazards . Examples of natural disasters are floods , tsunamis , tornadoes , hurricanes / cyclones , volcanic eruptions , earthquakes , heat waves , and landslides . Other types of disasters include the more cosmic scenario of an asteroid hitting the Earth . Man - made disasters ( edit ) Main article : Man - made disasters Man - made disasters are the consequence of technological or human hazards . Examples include stampedes , urban fires , industrial accidents , oil spills , nuclear explosions / nuclear radiation and acts of war . Other types of man - made disasters include the more cosmic scenarios of catastrophic global warming , nuclear war , and bioterrorism . The following table categorizes some disasters and notes first response initiatives . Note that whereas the sources of a disaster may be natural ( for example , heavy rains ) or man - made ( for example , a broken dam ) , the results may be similar ( flooding ) . Natural Disaster Example Profile First Response Avalanche The sudden , drastic flow of snow down a slope , occurring when either natural triggers , such as loading from new snow or rain , or artificial triggers , such as explosives or backcountry skiers , overload the snowpack Shut off utilities ;

Power Failure Caused by summer or winter storms , lightning or construction equipment digging in the wrong location Wait 5 -- 10 minutes ; Power - off all Servers after a graceful shutdown ; Do not use telephones , in the event of severe lightning ; Shut down main electric circuit usually located in the basement or the first floor In the realm of information technology per se , disasters may also be the result of a computer security exploit . Some of these are : computer viruses , cyberattacks , denial - of - service attacks , hacking , and malware exploits . These are ordinarily attended to by information security experts . Planning methodology ( edit ) According to Geoffrey H. Wold of the Disaster Recovery Journal , the entire process involved in developing a Disaster Recovery Plan consists of 10 steps : Obtaining top management commitment ( edit ) For a disaster recovery plan to be successful , the central responsibility for the plan must reside on top management . Management is responsible for coordinating the disaster recovery plan and ensuring its effectiveness within the organization . It is also responsible for allocating adequate time and resources required in the development of an effective plan . Resources that management must allocate include both financial considerations and the effort of all personnel involved . Establishing a planning committee ( edit ) A planning committee is appointed to oversee the development and implementation of the plan . The planning committee includes representatives from all functional areas of the organization . Key committee members customarily include the operations manager and the data processing manager . The committee also defines the scope of the plan . Performing a risk assessment ( edit ) The planning committee prepares a risk analysis and a business impact analysis ( BIA ) that includes a range of possible disasters , including natural , technical and human threats . Each functional area of the organization is analyzed to determine the potential consequence and impact associated with several disaster scenarios . The risk assessment process also evaluates the safety of critical documents and vital records . Traditionally , fire has posed the greatest threat to an organization . Intentional human destruction , however , should also be considered . A thorough plan provides for the `` worst case '' situation : destruction of the main building . It is important to assess the impacts and consequences resulting from loss of information and services . The planning committee also analyzes the costs related to minimizing the potential exposures . Establishing priorities for processing and operations ( edit ) At this point , the critical needs of each department within the organization are evaluated in order to prioritize them . Establishing priorities is important because no organization possesses infinite resources and criteria must be set as to where to allocate resources first . Some of the areas often reviewed during the prioritization process are functional operations , key personnel and their functions , information flow , processing systems used , services provided , existing documentation , historical records , and the department 's policies and procedures . Processing and operations are analyzed to determine the maximum amount of time that the department and organization can operate without each critical system . This will later get mapped into the Recovery Time Objective . A critical system is defined as that which is part of a system or procedure necessary to continue operations should a department , computer center , main facility or a combination of these be destroyed or become inaccessible . A method used to determine the critical needs of a department is to document all the functions performed by each department . Once the primary functions have been identified , the operations and processes are then ranked in order of priority : essential , important and non-essential . Determining recovery strategies ( edit ) During this phase , the most practical alternatives for processing in case of a disaster are researched and evaluated . All aspects of the organization are considered , including physical facilities , computer hardware and software , communications links , data files and databases , customer services provided , user operations , the overall management information systems ( MIS ) structure , end - user systems , and any other processing operations . Alternatives , dependent upon the evaluation of the computer function , may include : hot sites , warm sites , cold sites , reciprocal agreements , the provision of more than one data center , the installation and deployment of multiple computer system , duplication of service center , consortium arrangements , lease of equipment , and any combinations of the above . Written agreements for the specific recovery alternatives selected are prepared , specifying contract duration , termination conditions , system testing , cost , any special security procedures , procedure for the notification of system changes , hours of operation , the specific hardware and other equipment required for processing , personnel requirements , definition of the circumstances constituting an emergency , process to negotiate service extensions , guarantee of compatibility , availability , non-mainframe resource requirements , priorities , and other contractual issues . Collecting data ( edit ) In this phase , data collection takes place . Among the recommended data gathering materials and documentation often included are various lists ( employee backup position listing , critical telephone numbers list , master call list , master vendor list , notification checklist ) , inventories ( communications equipment , documentation , office equipment , forms , insurance policies , workgroup and data center computer hardware , microcomputer hardware and software , office supply , off - site storage location equipment , telephones , etc . ) , distribution register , software and data files backup / retention schedules , temporary location specifications , any other such other lists , materials , inventories and documentation . Pre-formatted forms are often used to facilitate the data gathering process . Organizing and documenting a written plan ( edit ) Next , an outline of the plan 's contents is prepared to guide the development of the detailed procedures . Top management reviews and approves the proposed plan . The outline can ultimately be used for the table of contents after final revision . Other four benefits of this approach are that ( 1 ) it helps to organize the detailed procedures , ( 2 ) identifies all major steps before the actual writing process begins , ( 3 ) identifies redundant procedures that only need to be written once , and ( 4 ) provides a road map for developing the procedures . It is often considered best practice to develop a standard format for the disaster recovery plan so as to facilitate the writing of detailed procedures and the documentation of other information to be included in the plan later . This helps ensure that the disaster plan follows a consistent format and allows for its ongoing future maintenance . Standardization is also important if more than one person is involved in writing the procedures . It is during this phase that the actual written plan is developed in its entirety , including all detailed procedures to be used before , during , and after a disaster . The procedures include methods for maintaining and updating the plan to reflect any significant internal , external or systems changes . The procedures allow for a regular review of the plan by key personnel within the organization . The disaster recovery plan is structured using a team approach . Specific responsibilities are assigned to the appropriate team for each functional area of the organization . Teams responsible for administrative functions , facilities , logistics , user support , computer backup , restoration and other important areas in the organization are identified . The structure of the contingency organization may not be the same as the existing organization chart . The contingency organization is usually structured with teams responsible for major functional areas such as administrative functions , facilities , logistics , user support , computer backup , restoration , and any other important area . The management team is especially important because it coordinates the recovery process . The team assesses the disaster , activates the recovery plan , and contacts team managers . The management team also oversees , documents and monitors the recovery process . It is helpful when management team members are the final decision - makers in setting priorities , policies and procedures . Each team has specific responsibilities that are completed to ensure successful execution of the plan . The teams have an assigned manager and an alternate in case the team manager is not available . Other team members may also have specific assignments where possible . Developing testing criteria and procedures ( edit ) Best practices dictate that DR plans be thoroughly tested and evaluated on a regular basis ( at least annually ) . Thorough DR plans include documentation with the procedures for testing the plan . The tests will provide the organization with the assurance that all necessary steps are included in the plan . Other reasons for testing include : Determining the feasibility and compatibility of backup facilities and procedures . Identifying areas in the plan that need modification . Providing training to the team managers and team members . Demonstrating the ability of the organization to recover . Providing motivation for maintaining and updating the disaster recovery plan . Testing the plan ( edit ) After testing procedures have been completed , an initial `` dry run '' of the plan is performed by conducting a structured walk - through test . The test will provide additional information regarding any further steps that may need to be included , changes in procedures that are not effective , and other appropriate adjustments . These may not become evident unless an actual dry - run test is performed . The plan is subsequently updated to correct any problems identified during the test . Initially , testing of the plan is done in sections and after normal business hours to minimize disruptions to the overall operations of the organization . As the plan is further polished , future tests occur during normal business hours . Types of tests include : checklist tests , simulation tests , parallel tests , and full interruption tests . Obtaining plan approval ( edit ) Once the disaster recovery plan has been written and tested , the plan is then submitted to management for approval . It is top management 's ultimate responsibility that the organization has a documented and tested plan . Management is responsible for ( 1 ) establishing the policies , procedures and responsibilities for comprehensive contingency planning , and ( 2 ) reviewing and approving the contingency plan annually , documenting such reviews in writing . Organizations that receive information processing from service bureaus will , in addition , also need to ( 1 ) evaluate the adequacy of contingency plans for its service bureau , and ( 2 ) ensure that its contingency plan is compatible with its service bureau 's plan . Caveats / controversies ( edit ) Due to its high cost , disaster recovery plans are not without critics . Cormac Foster has identified five `` common mistakes '' organizations often make related to disaster recovery planning : Lack of buy - in ( edit ) One factor is the perception by executive management that DR planning is `` just another fake earthquake drill '' or CEOs that fail to make DR planning and preparation a priority , are often significant contributors to the failure of a DR plan . Incomplete rtos and rpos ( edit ) Another critical point is failure to include each and every important business process or a block of data . `` Every item in your DR plan requires a Recovery Time Objective ( RTO ) defining maximum process downtime or a Recovery Point Objective ( RPO ) noting an acceptable restore point . Anything less creates ripples that can extend the disaster 's impact . '' As an example , `` payroll , accounting and the weekly customer newsletter may not be mission - critical in the first 24 hours , but left alone for several days , they can become more important than any of your initial problems . '' Systems myopia ( edit ) A third point of failure involves focusing only on DR without considering the larger business continuity needs : `` Data and systems restoration after a disaster are essential , but every business process in your organization will need IT support , and that support requires planning and resources . '' As an example , corporate office space lost to a disaster can result in an instant pool of teleworkers which , in turn , can overload a company 's VPN overnight , overwork the IT support staff at the blink of an eye and cause serious bottlenecks and monopolies with the dial - in PBX system . Lax security ( edit ) When there is a disaster , an organization 's data and business processes become vulnerable . As such , security can be more important than the raw speed involved in a disaster recovery plan 's RTO . The most critical consideration then becomes securing the new data pipelines : from new VPNs to the connection from offsite backup services . Another security concern includes documenting every step of the recovery process -- something that is especially important in highly regulated industries , government agencies , or in disasters requiring post-mortem forensics . Locking down or remotely wiping lost handheld devices is also an area that may require addressing . Outdated plans ( edit ) Another important aspect that is often overlooked involves the frequency with which DR Plans are updated . Yearly updates are recommended but some industries or organizations require more frequent updates because business processes evolve or because of quicker data growth . To stay relevant , disaster recovery plans should be an integral part of all business analysis processes , and should be revisited at every major corporate acquisition , at every new product launch and at every new system development milestone .

She provided a number of backing vocal tracks for major performing artists in the 1960s , most notably in her duet with Mick Jagger on the Rolling Stones song `` Gimme Shelter . '' Clayton is featured in 20 Feet from Stardom , the Oscar - winning documentary about background singers and their contributions to the music industry . In 2013 , she released The Best of Merry Clayton , a compilation of her favorite songs . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Career 3 Personal life 4 Discography 4.1 Studio albums 4.2 Singles ( selected ) 5 Filmography 6 References 7 External links Early Life ( edit ) Clayton was born in Gert Town , New Orleans , Louisiana . Clayton was born on Christmas Day , and earned her name due to the holiday . She is the Daughter of Eva B. Clayton and Reverend A.G. Williams Sr. Clayton was raised in New Orleans as a Christian , and spent much of her time in her father 's parish , New Zion Baptist Church . After moving to Los Angeles , she joined the now famous singer group `` The Blossoms . '' Career ( edit ) Clayton began her recording career in 1962 at the age of 14 , singing `` Who Can I Count On ? ( When I Ca n't Count on You ) '' as a duet with Bobby Darin on his album `` You 're the Reason I 'm Living . '' In 1963 she recorded the first version of `` The Shoop Shoop Song ( It 's in His Kiss ) , '' the same year that Betty Everett 's version reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 . Early in her career Merry performed with Ray Charles ( as one of the Raelettes ) , who was the only artist her father allowed her to see live . Others include Pearl Bailey , Phil Ochs , Burt Bacharach , Tom Jones , Joe Cocker , Linda Ronstadt , Carole King , and on several tracks from Neil Young 's debut album . Clayton is often credited as having recorded with Elvis Presley but her name does not appear in Elvis sessionographies . Clayton is best known for her 1969 duet with Mick Jagger on the Rolling Stones song `` Gimme Shelter , '' though on some releases her name is misspelled as `` Mary . '' According to Jagger , this collaboration came about due to partially to chance . Jagger states that they thought `` it 'd be great to have a woman come do the ... chorus . '' They called Clayton `` randomly '' in the middle of the night , and she showed up to the studio `` in curlers '' and did the verse in a few takes , which Jagger remarks is `` pretty amazing . '' The Stones had asked Bonnie Bramlett to sing on the song , but Bramlett 's husband , Delaney , refused to let her perform with the Stones . Clayton also sang backing vocals on Lynyrd Skynyrd 's `` Sweet Home Alabama '' . In 1970 , Clayton recorded her own version of `` Gimme Shelter , '' and it became the title track of her debut solo album and peaked at # 73 , released that year . Her version would be the first of five singles under her name to crack the Billboard Hot 100 . That same year she performed a live version of `` Lift Every Voice and Sing '' for the soundtrack for Robert Altman film Brewster McCloud and also contributed vocals to Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg 's film Performance . In 1971 she co-wrote the song `` Sho ' Nuff '' about her mother . She starred as the original Acid Queen in the first London production of The Who 's Tommy in 1972 . In 1973 , she featured prominently on Ringo Starr 's `` Oh My My '' , which reached Billboard 's Top 10 the following year . In the mid 1970s , Clayton sang on The Blackbyrds ' R&B hit `` Rock Creek Park '' and continued to release solo albums throughout the next decade , notching several minor R&B singles . Her soundtrack work continued into the 1980s , including `` You 're Always There When I Need You '' , the title track for the 1980 Get Smart film The Nude Bomb , and the song `` Yes '' from Dirty Dancing , which hit # 45 on the Hot 100 . In 1987 , Clayton co-starred with Ally Sheedy in the film Maid to Order and played Verna Dee Jordan in the final season of Cagney & Lacey . In 1989 , she recorded a cover of `` Almost Paradise '' with Eric Carmen . In 1994 Clayton recorded backing vocals for and sang the `` Man with the Golden Gun '' bridge on Tori Amos 's hit , `` Cornflake Girl '' . In 2006 , Clayton provided background vocals for Sparta 's album Threes on the songs `` Atlas '' and `` Translation '' . She was featured in the documentary film 20 Feet from Stardom ( 2013 ) , which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and went on to win the Oscar for best documentary at the 86th Academy Awards . 20 Feet from Stardom also won the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Music Film , with the award being presented to the featured artists as well as the production crew . In 2014 , Clayton provided vocals for G. Love & Special Sauce 's album Sugar . In 2015 , Clayton was featured on two tracks on Coldplay 's album A Head Full of Dreams . Clayton has been sampled in various songs , most notably Watch for the Hook by Cool Breeze featuring Goodie Mobb and supergroup Outkast . Personal Life ( edit ) Clayton was married to jazz artist Curtis Amy from 1970 until his death in 2002 . Clayton 's brother is the Little Feat percussionist Sam Clayton . She had a miscarriage upon returning home from recording `` Gimme Shelter '' , according to the LA Times .

The system extends along a curve from Lake Eğirdir in the west to the upper reaches of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers in the east . It is a part of the Alpide belt in Eurasia . The Taurus mountains are divided into three chains from west to east as follows ; Western Taurus ( Batı Toroslar ) Akdağlar , the Bey Mountains , Katrancık Mountain , Geyik Mountain Central Taurus ( Orta Toroslar ) Akçalı Mountains , Bolkar Mountains , Anti-Taurus Mountains , Tahtalı Mountains , Aladaglar Mountain Southeastern Taurus ( Güneydoğu Toroslar ) Nurhak Mountains , Malatya Mountains , Maden Mountains , Genç Mountains , Bitlis Mountains Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Pre-history to early Roman period 1.2 Late Roman period to present 2 Geography 3 Attractions 4 Western Taurus 5 Central Taurus 6 Southeastern Taurus 7 References 8 External links History ( edit ) Amanus Mts . near the Gulf of Issus and Antioch Pre-history to early roman period ( edit ) The bull was commonly the symbol and depiction of ancient Near Eastern storm gods , hence Taurus the bull , and hence the name of the mountains . The mountains are a place of many ancient storm - god temples . Torrential thunderstorms in these mountains were deemed by the ancient Syrians to be the work of the storm - god Adad to make the Tigris and Euphrates rivers rise and flood and thereby fertilise their land . The Hurrians , probably originators of the various storm - gods of the ancient Near East , were a people whom modern scholars place in the Taurus Mountains at their probable earliest origins . A Bronze Age archaeological site , where early evidence of tin mining was found , is at Kestel . The pass known in antiquity as the Cilician Gates crosses the range north of Tarsus . The Amanus range in southern Turkey is where the Taurus Mountains are pushed up as three tectonic plates come together . The Amanus is a natural frontier : west is Cilicia , east is Syria . There are several passes , like the Amanian Gate ( Bahçe Pass ) , which are of great strategical importance . In 333 BCE at the Battle of Issus , Alexander the Great defeated Darius III Codomannus on the foothills along the coast between these two passes . In the Second Temple period , Jewish authors seeking to establish with greater precision the geographical definition of the Promised Land , began to construe Mount Hor as a reference to the Amanus range of the Taurus Mountains , which marked the northern limit of the Syrian plain . Late roman period to present ( edit ) During World War I , the German and Turkish railway system through the Taurus Mountains proved to be a major strategic objective of the Allies . This region was specifically mentioned as a strategically controlled objective slated for surrender to the Allies in the Armistice , which ended hostilities against the Ottoman Empire . Geography ( edit ) In the Aladaglar and Bolkar mountains , limestone has eroded to form karstic landscapes of waterfalls , underground rivers , and some of the largest caves of Asia . The Manavgat River originates on the southern slopes of the Beydaglari range . Attractions ( edit ) In addition to hiking and mountain climbing , there are two ski resorts on the mountain range , one at Davras about 25 km ( 16 mi ) from the two nearest towns of Egirdir and Isparta , the second is Saklıkent 40 km ( 25 mi ) from the city of Antalya . The Varda Viaduct , situated on the railway lines Konya - Adana at Hacıkırı village in Adana Province , is a 98 - metre - high ( 322 ft ) railway bridge constructed in the 1910s by Germans . Western Taurus ( edit ) West Taurus and Taurus Mountains form an arc around the Gulf of Antalya . The East Taşeli Plateau and Goksu River divide it from the Central Taurus Mountains . It has many peaks rising above 3,000 -- 3,700 m ( 9,800 -- 12,100 ft ) . The complex is divided into four ranges : Beydaglari mountain range , western , highest peak Mt . Kizlarsivrisi 3,086 m ( 10,125 ft ) Aladaglar mountain range , central , highest peak Mt . Demirkazik 3,756 m ( 12,323 ft ) Bolkar mountain range , southeastern , highest peak Mt .

He is the antagonist of the first series and the protagonist of the second series . Portrayed by Nicholas Hoult , the character was created by Bryan Elsley ; Tony was the series ' central character in its first and second series , from 2007 -- 2008 . In the first series finale , he is hit by a bus , leading to a trauma - related subplot in the second series . the character is considered an antihero , and in some respects his actions are very antagonistic due to his antisocial tendencies . However , this changes in the second series after he becomes a victim of a subdural hematoma and , as a result , becomes more vulnerable . Hoult , along with the other starring actors of the first two series , departed the show after its second season . The character was subsequently alluded to in episodes of the third and fourth series , which centred on Tony 's sister Effy , played by Kaya Scodelario . In the 2011 North American adaptation of the show , Tony is played by actor James Newman , and the character 's surname is changed to Schneider . Contents ( hide ) 1 Characterization 2 Character history 2.1 Series 1 2.2 The Lost Weeks 2.3 Series 2 2.4 Post-Series 2 3 Analysis 4 References 5 External links Characterization ( edit ) Hoult with Kaya Scodelario at the Skins Party in 2007 . Tony appears to be a very handsome , popular and academically gifted young man , with a typical English middle - class background . He plays cruel games with his family and friends , in particular those closest to him , his girlfriend Michelle ( April Pearson ) and best friend Sid ( Mike Bailey ) . In `` Sid '' , he displays his love for `` control and manipulation '' and fondness for the unpredictability of the universe , comparing the lives of those around to him to the functions of subatomic particles . In the Unseen Skins episode `` The Cat & The Duck '' , Michelle characterises Tony as like ice , `` cold and transparent . '' Tony 's sexual encounters are supposedly vast . In `` Michelle '' , Jal Fazer ( Larissa Wilson ) is able to recall a long list of his conquests . Michelle later puts to Abigail Stock ( Georgina Moffat ) that he `` fucks everyone ... including boys . '' In `` Maxxie & Anwar '' , Tony attempts an oral tryst with his gay friend Maxxie ( Mitch Hewer ) . Tony does not specify a sexual orientation but he says to Maxxie that he simply wants `` to try something new '' . In a psychology lesson , he equates sex with power and his lust for both is portrayed in his presentation . An aspect of his subconscious ( portrayed as a college headmaster ) refers to him as `` polysexual '' , in series two 's `` Tony '' episode . Bryan Elsley characterizes Tony 's attempt to seduce Maxxie as an exploration of the character 's sexual fluidity ; in season one of the American adaptation , Maxxie 's character is replaced by the character Tea ( Sofia Black D'Elia ) , and her sexual fluidity is substituted for Tony 's . In the British series , Tony fits the older television and film archetype of the `` narcissistic , controlling , and stereotypically sociopathic ' bad bisexual ' '' . Tony 's reading habits give insight into his personality . In `` Tony '' , the book he reads in the bathroom is La Nausée by Jean - Paul Sartre , a novel about existentialism and defining oneself . In `` Sid '' , he is shown reading Friedrich Nietzsche 's Thus Spoke Zarathustra , a book which challenges existing moral values . In `` Maxxie and Anwar '' he reads Jeanette Winterson 's Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit , a book about a young girl struggling with her homosexuality . In the `` Tony '' episode of series 2 , he is seen reading Ayn Rand 's Atlas Shrugged , while sitting on the train . Character history ( edit ) Series 1 ( edit ) In the episode `` Tony '' , he attempts to help his best friend Sid to lose his virginity before turning 17 for fear of being associated with a perceived loser . After momentarily suggesting Sid may lose it to Michelle , he later reveals he was referring to Cassie ( Hannah Murray ) . He orders Sid to acquire some weed from local drug dealer Madison Twatter , and eventually ends up driving a stolen car with his friends into the harbour where the drugs are lost . Tony also begins a flirtatious relationship with local rich girl Abigail , which develops in `` Jal '' when he is spotted kissing her by Jal , and later in `` Sid '' where he uses her to break up with Michelle , claiming that he is doing it for Sid , to give him an opportunity to pursue his crush , only to get back with her in an attempt to emotionally damage Sid and Michelle . In `` Maxxie and Anwar '' , on a school trip to Russia he aggressively and persistently tries to perform oral sex on his gay friend Maxxie , only to find he is bad at it . Michelle witnesses this and is shocked , and believing he could be in the closet , probes him to reveal any secrets he may be carrying . In `` Michelle '' , the episode starts with Michelle watching him as he continues to behave flirtatiously around Maxxie . Enraged , Michelle walks over to , punches and subsequently dumps him after he fails to tell her about his encounter with Maxxie , and she learns of various other affairs . He is subsequently punched by Sid and later slapped by another a girl in psychology lesson as punishment for the incident . After Michelle starts a relationship with Abigail 's brother , Josh , Tony then schemes to get her back . He takes sexual pictures of Abigail , and then transmits them to Josh 's phone , from where he sends them to Michelle in order to make her think he 's as crazy as his sister . Tony attempts a reconciliation , but she still turns him down . In `` Effy '' , Tony comes to terms with the destructive nature of his machinations when faced with a chase to find his sister , Effy Stonem and is given a terrible proposition : he must have sex with his unconscious sister if he wants her back from her captors . This scares him to tears , enough for Josh to tell him his lesson has been learned and let him go . His friendship with Sid is reaffirmed as Sid is the only one there for him in his crisis . Later , in the series finale , Tony repays his debt to Sid by removing him from a mental institution and taking Sid to find Cassie . After leaving Sid at Anwar ( Dev Patel ) 's party , he tries to call Michelle , but loses her signal , resorting to standing in the middle of the road to get the signal back . He confesses to Michelle that he really does love her but is cut short when he is run over by a bus . Michelle is left staring at her phone as , elsewhere , Effy holds his bleeding body in shock , and the episode ends with Tony 's status unclear . The lost Weeks ( edit ) It is revealed in Sid 's `` Lost Weeks '' video that Tony has been left in a coma following the accident . This is followed by Tony 's video , in which he awakes from his coma while listening to a tape of the gang telling rude and shocking stories to try to shock him into consciousness . Series 2 ( edit ) In `` Tony and Maxxie '' , the first episode of Series 2 , Tony is shown to be physically and mentally changed by his accident , after suffering from a subdural hematoma . He has shown to have lost most of his characteristic wit and confidence that was present in series 1 . In a conversation with Maxxie 's mum he states that `` I 'm stupid now '' and on a bus he holds Maxxie 's hand for security after a bus drives past . Having lost the ability to write among other disabilities , he finally manages to scribble his name by `` dancing '' his way through , with guidance from Maxxie . In `` Sketch '' , Tony starts to show visible signs of his previous affection for Michelle , but the consequences of his accident keep the relationship from working . Their brief sexual encounter reveals to Tony and the audience he has been rendered impotent as a result of the accident . Later on -- he actively searches for her after the School Play when Michelle does not appear as a result of Sketch ( Aimee - Ffion Edwards ) having poisoned her . He tells Michelle that he thinks he told her that he loved her the night of his accident , however the conclusion is left on a slightly ambiguous note on whether or not he was guessing . In `` Sid '' , Tony is seen to have improved more , however his language tends to get jumbled . At the end of the episode he successfully learns how to hold a cigarette . He helps Sid come to terms with his father 's death , even by shutting his eyelids . The pair embark on an emotional embrace in a club which symbolizes their shattered friendship and the pain the two are both suffering . In `` Michelle '' , Michelle perseveres with Tony and attempts to seduce him despite the protests of Mrs. Stonem , Tony 's mother . However Michelle 's attempts fail with Tony still showing visible sexual difficulty , Michelle gets upset that Tony is still not ' better for her ' -- and leaves , stressing that she needs more time . Tony decides not to accompany the rest of the group on Michelle 's birthday holiday but still gets her a present . After Michelle has had sex with Sid on the beach she finds that the birthday present is her watch that he was wearing at the time of his accident , with a note from Tony reading ' You said you needed some time ' . In `` Chris '' , Tony has started learning to swim again . He is seen in the pool with his father with a beginner 's swimming group . He speaks to Chris ( Joe Dempsie ) afterwards proclaiming that he will ' Get everything back again ' and that 's including Michelle . He shows visible disgust and anger when finding out Sid and Michelle have become a couple . In `` Tony '' , Tony is shown attempting to return to his own lifestyle , which translates into going to clubs and taking drugs . After Cassie gives Tony an ecstasy pill , Tony confronts Sid and Michelle ( who are now in a full - blown sexual relationship ) expressing his sarcasm at how happy he is for them . Straight after this -- he begins to react badly from the drugs and has a panic attack in the toilets . A mysterious girl approaches him and reveals details about Tony 's life despite her being a stranger . On the train ride up to a university open day -- Tony is approached by a man who has visible horrific burns . The man tells Tony the story of how he came to be disfigured . Later on Tony attends an open day at University where he is in group interview with the same ( now unscathed ) man he met on the train . The mysterious girl is also at the meeting and verbally attacks the head of the university . After being ejected from the interview , Tony and the girl embark on many misdemeanors throughout the course of the day . It slowly becomes apparent to the viewer that the girl may be a figment of Tony 's imagination -- for example when the girl encourages ( and successfully teaches ) Tony how to swim , he is found alone in the pool . However , when interrogated about why he was in the pool , and Tony tries to explain about the girl , he is instructed to `` not go with her . '' Later on Tony meets two promiscuous flatmates with the girl , who gave the girl a tattoo . Later on Tony and the girl consummate , and Tony regains his sexual libido . At the end of the episode , Tony is shown to have regained the majority of his intelligence and confidence . He then goes to tell Sid and Michelle that he loves them both and announces his disapproval of their sexual relationship . In its closing scenes , the tattoo that the girl had marked on her back is seen on Tony 's , the implication being that the girl had been a creation of Tony 's subconscious , ergo the manifestation of his animus or inner nature . As the series progresses , Tony eventually manages to reconcile with Michelle and resumes his relationship with her . In the final episode , `` Everyone '' , Tony receives grades better than all his friends in A-Levels ; 3 As and a B. He also helps Sid steal Chris ' coffin and later return it . Tony intends to go Cardiff University , while Michelle intends to go to University of York . Tony also sees Sid , who is leaving to find Cassie in New York . As Sid leaves , Tony is unable to hold back his tears . At the end of the episode , Tony and Michelle discuss their relationship and whether or not they will continue their relationship in university or say goodbye forever remains ambiguous to the audience . Nonetheless , they part on good terms . Post-series 2 ( edit ) At the beginning of Series 3 , Effy has moved into Tony 's room and has given his signature duvet to Oxfam . Katie also mentions Tony and his popularity in one of her first conversations with Effy saying `` Did n't you have a brother who was really cool and went mental , my friends fancied him '' . In Effy 's episode , she is on the phone trying to get an ambulance to the woods , and it is speculated that it was Tony she was talking to . In Effy 's video diary ( which takes place after the events of her episode ) , Effy pleads with Tony for help , also asking him not to shout at her again . She also pleads with him not to `` do anything '' to Cook , suggesting Tony has made threats . In Series 4 , Tony 's picture is one of the photos present on Effy 's wall , shown to be connected to Freddie 's picture along with the other members of Effy 's family . In `` Effy '' , where Effy is receiving treatment in a psychiatric hospital , the incident where Tony was run over is shown to have profoundly damaged her . One of the Skins writers suggested that prior to Skins : Fire , Effy had moved to London to live with Tony , and they lived together for a while before Tony left with Michelle to which Effy ended up flatting with Naomi . Analysis ( edit ) Writer Russell T Davies opines that Tony belongs to the same character archetype as his earlier Stuart Alan Jones , on Queer as Folk in being an unlikable character with whom audiences fail to connect , `` because there 's barely any recognition . Tony is n't believable . '' Unlike Davies ' character , Tony 's narrative thrust is one towards being brought down , to suffer , and to show the audience that Tony 's behaviour is wrong ; to do this , `` They had to mow him down in the finale to make us care !

Rather than being responsible for a specific area of policy , as most other committees are , it is in charge of determining under what rule other bills will come to the floor . As such , it is one of the most powerful committees and is often described as `` an arm of the leadership '' and as the `` traffic cop of Congress . '' A rule is a simple resolution of the House of Representatives , usually reported by the Committee on Rules , to permit the immediate consideration of a legislative measure , notwithstanding the usual order of business , and to prescribe conditions for its debate and amendment .

Instead , what may be said and done to a bill is strictly limited . This limitation is performed by the Rules Committee . When a bill is reported out of another committee with legislative jurisdiction , it is placed on the appropriate House Calendar for debate . Common practice , though , is for bills reported from committees to be considered in the Rules Committee , which will decide for how long and under what rules the full body will debate the proposition . Consideration by the full body can be in one of two forums : the Committee of the Whole , or on the floor of the full House of Representatives itself . Different traditions govern whether the Committee of the Whole or the House itself will debate a given resolution , and the Rules Committee generally sets the forum under which a proposition will be debated and the amendment / time limitations for every measure , too . For instance , there might be a limit on the number or types of amendments ( proposed changes to the bill ) . Amendments might only be allowed to specific sections of the bill , or no amendments might be allowed at all . Besides control over amendments , the rule issued by the Rules Committee also determines the amount of speaking time assigned on each bill or resolution . If the leadership wants a bill pushed forward quietly , for instance , there might be no debate time scheduled ; if they want attention , they might allow time for lengthy speeches in support of the bill . Between control over amendments , debate , and when measures will be considered , the Rules Committee exerts vast power in the House . As such , the majority party will usually be very keen on controlling it tightly . While most House committees maintain membership in a rough proportion to the full chamber ( If the majority party controls 55 % of the House , it will tend to have 55 % of committee seats ) , membership on the Rules Committee is disproportionately in favor of the majority party . History ( edit ) The Rules Committee was formed on April 2 , 1789 , during the first Congress . However , it had nowhere near the powerful role it has today . Instead , it merely proposed general rules for the House to follow when debating bills ( rather than passing a special rule for each bill ) , and was dissolved after proposing these general rules . These general rules still have a great impact on the tone of the House floor today . The Rules Committee , for a long time , lay dormant . For the first fifty years of its existence , it accomplished little beyond simply reaffirming these rules , and its role was very noncontroversial . On June 16 , 1841 , it made a major policy change , reducing from 2 / 3 to 1 / 2 the fraction of votes needed in the House to close debate and vote on a bill . In 1880 , the modern Rules Committee began to emerge from the reorganization of the House Committees . When the Republican party took over the House in the election of 1880 , they quickly realized the power that the Rules Committee possessed . One member , Thomas Brackett Reed ( R - Maine ) , used a seat on the Rules Committee to vault himself to the Speakership , and gained so much power that he was referred to as `` Czar Reed '' . In the 1890s and 1900s , Reed and his successor , Joseph Gurney Cannon ( R - Illinois ) used the Rules Committee to centralize the power of the Speakership . Although their power to place members in committees and perform other functions was limited by a forced rule change in 1910 , the Rules Committee retained its power . However , it ceased to function as the personal project of the Speaker , as it had originally ; instead , as the seniority system took root , it was captured by a coalition of conservative Democrats and Republicans . This state of affairs would continue until the 1960s . In 1961 , Speaker Sam Rayburn ( D - Texas ) , acting on the wishes of the new President John F. Kennedy and the Democratic Study Group , introduced a bill to enlarge the committee from 12 members to 15 , to decrease the power of the arch - conservative chairman , Howard W. Smith ( D - Virginia ) . The bill passed , 217 votes to 212 . However , it was only partially successful ; the Rules Committee continued to block legislation including civil rights and education bills . In the 1970s , however , the Rules Committee was firmly under the command of the Speaker once again . As before , its primary role is to come up with special rules , to help or obstruct the chances of legislation reported to it .

From 1853 until 1880 , the panel reverted to being a select committee ( as it had been before 1849 ) . Between 1880 and the revolt against Speaker Cannon , in March 1910 , the Speaker of the House also served as Chairman of the Rules Committee . Chair Party State Years Note David S.
