The Grammar of Science

The Grammar of Science is a book by Karl Pearson first published in hardback in 1892. In 1900, the second edition, published by Adam & Charles Black, appeared. The third, revised, edition was also published by Adam & Charles Black in 1911. It was recommended by Einstein to his friends of the Olympia Academy. Several themes were covered in this book that later became part of the theories of Einstein and other scientists, such as:
 * the relativity of motion to a frame of reference (fixed stars),
 * the equivalence of "matter" and energy,
 * physics as geometry,
 * the non-existence of the ether,
 * the importance of creative imagination rather than mere fact-gathering,
 * antimatter,
 * fourth dimension,
 * wrinkles in space,
 * molecular relative position and motion, and
 * motion of corpuscles as relative motion in a field.

Chapter I
"Introductory - The Scope and Method of Science"
 * 1) The scope of science is to ascertain truth in every possible branch of knowledge. There is no sphere of inquiry which lies outside the legitimate field of science. To draw a distinction between the scientific and philosophical fields is obfuscation.
 * 2) The scientific method has the following distinctive features:
 * (a) careful and accurate measurement of data, and "observation of their correlation and sequence";
 * (b) discovery of scientific laws by aid of the creative imagination;
 * (c) self-criticism;
 * (d) final decisions having equal validity for all normally constituted minds.

 * 1) The claims of science to our support depend on:
 * (a) the efficient mental training it provides for the citizen;
 * (b) the light it brings to bear on many important social problems;
 * (c) the increased comfort it adds to practical life;
 * (d) the permanent gratification it yields to the aesthetic judgment.

Chapter II
"The Facts of Science"
 * 1) Immediate sense-impressions form permanent impresses in the brain which psychically correspond to memory. The union of immediate sense-impressions with associated stored impressions leads to the formation of "constructs," which we project "outside ourselves," and term phenomena or appearances. The real world lies for us in such phenomenal constructs and not in shadowy things-in-themselves. "Outside" and "inside" oneself are alike ultimately based on sense-impressions; but from these sense-impressions by association, mechanical and mental, we form conceptions and draw inferences. These are the facts of science, and its field is essentially the contents of the mind.
 * 2) When an interval elapses between sense-impression and muscular exertion, and the interval contains cerebral activity marking the revival and combination of past sense-impresses, we are said to think or be conscious. Consciousness of something external is an inference which, not yet having been verified by immediate sense-impression, we term an "eject;" it is conceivable, however, that it could become an object. Consciousness has no meaning other than to nervous systems akin to our own; it is illogical to assert that all matter is conscious, still more that consciousness or will can exist outside matter.
 * 3) The term knowledge is meaningless when extended beyond the sphere in which we may legitimately infer consciousness, or when applied to things outside the area of thought, i.e., to metaphysical terms dignified by the name of conceptions although they do not ultimately flow from sense-impressions.

Chapter III
"The Scientific Law"
 * 1) Scientific Law is of a totally different nature from civil law; it does not involve an intelligent lawgiver, a command and a corresponding duty. It is a brief description in mental shorthand of as wide a range as possible of the sequences of our sense-impressions.
 * 2) There are two distinct meanings to natural law: the mere routine of perception, and the scientific law or formula describing the field of nature. The "reason" in natural law is only obvious when we speak of law in the latter sense, and then it is really placed there by the human mind. Thus the supposed reason behind natural law does not enable us to pass from the routine of perceptions to anything of the nature of reason behind the world of sense-impression.
 * 3) The fact that the human reflective faculty is able to express the routine of perceptions in mental formulae may be due to this routine being a product of the perceptive faculty itself. The perceptive faculty appears to be selective and to have developed in co-ordination with the reflective faculty. Of the world outside sensation science can only logically infer chaos, or the absence of the conditions of knowledge; no human concept, such as order, reason, or consciousness, can be logically projected into it.

Chapter IV
"Cause and Effect - Probability"
 * 1) Cause is scientifically used to denote an antecedent stage in a routine of perceptions. In this sense, "force" as a cause is meaningless. First cause is only a limit, permanent or temporary, to knowledge. No instance, certainly not "will," occurs in our experience of an arbitrary first cause in the popular sense of the word.
 * 2) There is no inherent necessity in the routine of perceptions, but the permanent existence of rational beings necessitates a routine of perceptions; the possibility of a thinking being ceases with the cessation of routine. The only necessity we are acquainted with exists in the sphere of conceptions; routine in perceptions may possibly be due to the constitution of the perceptive faculty.
 * 3) Proof in the field of perceptions is the demonstration of overwhelming probability. Logically we ought to use the word know only of conceptions, and reserve the word believe for perceptions. "I know that the angle at the circumference on any diameter of a circle is right," but "I believe that the sun will rise tomorrow." The proof that a breach of routine will not occur for a finite future depends upon the solid experience that we are ignorant only in areas in which, statistically, all constitutions of the unknown are found to be equally probable.

Chapter V
"Contingency and Correlation - The Insufficiency of Causation"
 * 1) Routine in perceptions is a relative term; the idea of causation is extracted by conceptual processes from phenomena, it is neither a logical necessity, nor an actual experience. We can merely classify things as like; we cannot reproduce sameness, but we can only measure how relatively like follows relatively like. The wider view of the universe sees all phenomena as correlated, but not causally related.
 * 2) Whether phenomena are qualitative or quantitative, a classification leads to a contingency table. From such a table we can measure the degree of dependence between any two phenomena. Causation is the limit to such a table, when it contains an indefinitely large number of "cells," but in each array only one such cell is occupied. Mathematical function arises when the belt of dots which are the actual result of all experience shrivels up into a curve. It is a purely conceptual limit which is just as much a conceptual limit to actual experience when we use a multiplicity of "causes."
 * 3) The intellectual gain of this contingency category lies in the fact that it sees variation as the fundamental factor in phenomena. Determinatism is the result of supposing "sameness" instead of a mere classificatory "likeness" in phenomena. Variation and correlation include causation and determinatism as special cases, if indeed they have any actual existence in regard to phenomena. No experience we have at present justifies us, however, in assuming them to be anything but conceptual limits created by human need for economy of thought, and as little inherent in phenomena themselves as geometrical surfaces or centres of force.

Chapter VI
"Space and Time"
 * 1) Space and time are not realities in the phenomenal world, but the modes under which we perceive things apart. They are not infinitely large nor infinitely divisible, but are essentially limited by the contents of our perception.
 * 2) Scientific concepts are, as a rule, limits drawn in conception to processes which can be started but not carried to a conclusion in perception. The historical origin of the concepts of geometry and physics can thus be traced. Concepts such as geometrical surface, atom, and ether, are not asserted by science to have a real existence in or behind phenomena, but are valid as shorthand methods of describing the correlation and sequence of phenomena. From this standpoint conceptual space and time can be easily appreciated, and the danger avoided of projecting their ideal infinities and eternities into the real world of perception.

Chapter VII
"The Geometry of Motion"
 * 1) All the notions by aid of which we describe and measure change are geometrical, and thus are not real perceptual limits. They are forms distinguishing and classifying the contents of our personal experience under the mixed mode of motion. The principal forms are point-motion, spin of a rigid body, and strain. Motion is found to be relative, never absolute; for example, it is meaningless to speak of the motion of a point without reference to what system is related to the motion of the point.
 * 2) An analysis of point-motion leads us to the conceptions of velocity and acceleration. Velocity is a proper measure of the manner in which position is instantaneously changing. Acceleration is a proper measure of how velocity itself is an increased change. It is found that a motion is fully determined. Theoretically, a complete description of the path and position at each instant of time may be deduced when the velocity in any one position and the acceleration for all positions is given.
 * 3) The parallelogram law as the general rule for combining motions is the foundation of the synthesis by which complex motions are constructed out of simple motions.

Chapter VIII
"Matter"

The notion of matter is found to be equally obscure whether we seek for definition in the writings of physicists or of "common sense" philosophers. The difficulties with regard to it appear to arise from asserting the phenomenal but imperceptible existence of mere conceptual symbols. Change of sense-impression is the proper term for external perception. Motion is the proper term for our conceptual symbolisation of this change. Of perception the question "what moves" and "why it moves" are seen to be idle. In the field of conception, the moving bodies are geometrical ideals with merely descriptive motions.

In order to understand that we can perceive change of sense-impression but we can only conceive motion, three questions must be asked: "What moves? Why does it move? How does it move?". Science can only answer the question "How does it move?". The others are unintelligible, because we find that matter, force, and "action at a distance" are not terms which express real problems of the phenomenal world.

Chapter IX
"The Laws of Motion"

The physicist forms a conceptual model of the universe by the aid of corpuscles. These corpuscles are only symbols for the component parts of perceptual bodies and are not to be considered as in any way resembling definite perceptual equivalents. The corpuscles with which we have to deal are ether-element, prime-atom, atom, molecule, and particle. We conceive them to move in the manner which enables us most accurately to describe the sequences of our sense-impressions. This manner of motion is summed up in the so-called laws of motion. These laws hold in the first place for particles, but they have been frequently assumed to be true for all corpuscles. It is more reasonable, however, to conceive that a great part of mechanism flows from the structure of gross "matter."

The proper measure of mass is found to be a ratio of mutual accelerations, and force is seen to be a certain convenient measure of motion, and not its cause. The customary definitions of mass and force, as well as the Newtonian statement of the laws of motion, are shown to abound in metaphysical obscurities. It is also questionable whether the principles involved in the current statements as to the superposition and combination of forces are scientifically correct when applied to atoms and molecules. The hope for future progress lies in clearer conceptions of the nature of ether and of the structure of gross "matter."

The general laws of motion are expressed as extensions of Newton's Laws

First Law: "Every corpuscle in the conceptual model of the universe must be conceived as moving with due regard to the presence of every other corpuscle, although for very distant corpuscles the regard paid is extremely small as compared with that paid to immediate neighbours."

Second Law: "Principle of Inertia"

Third Law: "Mutual Acceleration is determined by Relative Position"

Fourth Law: "The ratio of the acceleration of A due to B to the acceleration of B due to A must always be considered to be the same whatever be the position of A and B, and whatever be the surrounding field"

Fifth Law: "The Definition of Force - The force of B on A is equal and opposite to the force of A on B"

Chapter X
"Modern Physical Ideas"

The development of physical science over the last twenty years has revealed phenomena which illustrate clearly the principles and method of the preceding chapters. The Newtonian scheme of dynamics has been shown to be an approximation valid only for gross matter and our gross senses. There is reasonable ground for supposing that an electro-magnetic scheme of the constitution of matter will prove far more comprehensive. But there are outstanding difficulties, notably that gravitation has so far defied all efforts to bring it into line with this scheme, and that no simple concept has yet been furnished to represent the positive electricity of experiment.

The principles of conservation of energy, momentum, and mass all become meaningless without an ether which is as much and as little a reality as matter, and then mass, energy, momentum, are quantities in the same category with force.

The constancy of the mass of a body in material dynamics, which is the whole experimental basis of that science, is replaced by the conception of all electrons of the same type (negative, possibly also positive) being identical in character.

The ether is a purely conceptual medium which, as far as theory is at present developed, is structureless except that at isolated points there exist centres at which its properties are exceptional. These centres, by their mutual motion and grouping, constitute the model of the sequence of natural phenomena.

New light is thrown on our conceptions of space and time. They are interdependent and conditioned by the phenomena which they are used to describe. The phrase "motion relative to the ether" becomes meaningless. The ether is becoming more and more clearly a concept in the mind of each observer.

Italian version of this article could help
the Italian version looks as though it could be quite useful, has quite a few images and more inline citations Tom B (talk) 22:37, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Needs more references
Hi all, the article currently needs more inline citations e.g. the 'Proper motions and variability' section doesn't have any Tom B (talk) 23:32, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Stellar jet
For some reason, stellar jet redirects to this article. Why is this? I presume it's because there is some sort of connection between stellar jets and Herbig-Haro objects but it's not at all clear what this connection may be.

I came to this article looking for information on stellar jets, such as what are they? Where do they come from, what causes them? How big are they? What are they made of? Etc, etc. Perhaps they should have their own article. Nibios (talk) 16:03, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

I know that this is several years late, but I had a look and stellar jets seem to be called astrophysical jets on wikipedia, and they are similar to HH objects. NewbTopolis Rex (talk) 18:51, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

I hope there are no objections to Episodic Ejections
"Ejected episodically by young stars like cannon salvos, the brightly glowing lobes travel through space at more than 700,000 kilometres per hour."

This is the most beautiful sentences I've ever read on wikipedia. But I changed it to "Episodically ejected by young stars like cannon salvos..." to make it ring even beautifulier. :-)

But maybe you disagree. Maybe "ejected episodically" sounds more episodic? No, I think "episodically ejected" also sounds episodic. Tomato, tomato. Pigkeeper (talk) 17:24, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

I've worked on this article on and off since I found it with a cleanup tag on many months ago. Just looking for opinions on what more is needed to get it ready for an eventual FAC nomination. Worldtraveller 17:52, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

OK - here we go World! (I'm not reviewing for content, just structure) Thank care! Ryan Norton T 18:45, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Grammer of caption in opening image needs a bit of work
 * 2) "History" - one paragraph is too short
 * 3) "Composition" - second paragraph is too short
 * 4) "Age and future evolution" - third paragraph is too short (hmmm...!)
 * 5) "Reflection nebulosity" - all paragraphs too short
 * 6) "Names and technical information" - all paragraphs too short. One sentence paragraph. "Type" needs a legend. "Pronounciation guide" is funky and should probably be a legend too.
 * 7) "The Pleiades in folklore" - no need for a list here. One sentence paragraphs. Paragraphs too short.
 * 8) "References" - footnotes should be kept in a seperate section!
 * 9) "External links" - could use better descriptions

 * What's wrong with the grammar of the opening caption? Paragraphing is definitely a problem, but it's on track for FA nomination. Tony 05:18, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, it may need a bit of work. It just doesn't sit right with me for some reason. I don't know, that seems closer to me. I could be wrong, though. Ryan Norton T 05:25, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I.E. "The Pleiades, dominated by hot blue stars surrounded by reflection nebulosity"
 * The Pleiades, dominated by hot blue stars and surrounded by reflection nebulosity
 * The Pleiades, dominated by hot blue stars that are surrounded by reflection nebulosity

Thanks for the comments! I have adjusted the first image caption, expanded a few paras and rearranged a few bits. Mythology bit is prose instead of list now. As for references/footnotes, they're now all references with appropriate citation points in the text. Have tried to give links better descriptions.

Not quite sure what you mean by 'should be a legend' for the pronunciation guide, but in any case they really need to be given in IPA format, but I don't know how to do that. Anyone else? Worldtraveller 15:27, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * It's a very good article but a little crowded somehow. I enjoyed the inclusion of all the images but somehow it seems a bit to move through at times. Including the aspects of world folklore about the Pleiades is a wonderful touch though. Overall, I really like this article.--Mike 01:33, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Mount Rainier Railroad and Logging Museum

The Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad or MRSR, formerly the Mt. Rainier Railroad and Logging museum (MRRR), is a steam-powered heritage railroad operating in the U.S. state of Washington between Elbe and Mineral. The railroad travels on trackage that passes through thick forest just south of Mount Rainier. The depot, gift shop and ticket office are located in Elbe. The train travels to the Logging Museum exhibits located in Mineral. The MRRR ran its collection of vintage rail equipment over 7 mi of track, part of Tacoma Rail's Mountain Division.

The railroad has three steam engines, as well as a diesel locomotive in regular service, along with several other locomotives of both types of engines. Most of the railroad's engines are geared steam engines. These specialized types of steam engines — Shay engines, Heisler engines, Climax engines and a Willamette engine were used in the early 20th century for logging. Compared to conventional steam locomotives, geared locomotives were better-suited for the steep grades, sharp curves and uneven profiles of hastily laid track typical of logging operations. Thus, the MRRR sought to preserve and operate historic geared locomotives and related logging technology in order to present visitors with a sense of a bygone logging era critical to the development of the Pacific Northwest.

Prior to 2016, steam operations were run based on availability of volunteer operators, who comprised the great majority of railroad personnel. However, after being purchased by American Heritage Railways in 2016, the railroad's operations were run by professional staff. The MRRR's regular schedule ran weekends from Memorial Day to late October, with special event Polar Express trains November through December. In May 2020, American Heritage Railways announced that the railroad would cease operations "for the foreseeable future" due to financial losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The last Polar Express train ran from November to December 2019. On September 15, 2022, it was announced that the railroad would resume operations by 2025, including the restoration of track to Eatonville that will add 9 mi to the railroad. On August 1, 2023; the railroad announced a resumption of service to begin in the fall season.

History
The MRRR operated over track originating in Tacoma, on a route founded there over a century ago. In 1887, the Hart brothers constructed a short, narrow gauge railroad originating at 46th Street in Tacoma, Washington. In 1890, the railroad was reorganized by another interest as the Tacoma Eastern Railroad, at which time the tracks were converted to and extended a distance of 6 mi. The railroad was acquired in 1900 by yet another group of investors who had financial interests east of Elbe, the Nisqually Coal Fields, thus providing the impetus to extend the Tacoma Eastern from Tacoma to the area where the MRRR runs today. The route was also extended to access stands of virgin timber south of Mount Rainier, eventually reaching Morton.

Despite formal organization under the name Tacoma Eastern, the railroad was controlled by investors far from the Pacific Northwest. The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad, also known as the "Milwaukee Road", reputedly had control of the Tacoma Eastern as early as 1901. In the 1890s, the Milwaukee Road's directors desired a connection from the Midwest to the Pacific coast. The Tacoma Eastern was an appealing investment for the Milwaukee Road. The Tacoma Eastern remained a subsidiary of the Milwaukee Road, owned through stock interest only, until 1918 when the United States Railroad Administration coordinated the Milwaukee Road's absorption of all its subsidiaries into one unified system.

The Tacoma Eastern, though, continued to exist as an independent entity within the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad system, where it was known as the National Park branch. This segment of the system was one of the Milwaukee Road's most profitable lines. As such, it was preserved amidst the Milwaukee Road's bankruptcy in 1980. The Tacoma Eastern was a viable carrier of lumber from stands of timber owned by the Weyerhaeuser Corporation, whose tracts of land still surround the MRSR today and provide commercial traffic on the line.

In the wake of the Milwaukee Road's 1980 bankruptcy, Tacoma lumberman Tom Murray, Jr., sought to open a portion of the line to tourists. MRSR was then created by Tom Murray to operate historic equipment stored in Tacoma. The Weyerhaeuser Corporation allowed the MRSR to operate its equipment on a seven-mile segment of the line from Elbe to Mineral. Weyerhaeuser maintained control of the track until 1998 when the corporation transferred control of all of its rail interests to the City of Tacoma, into what is now known as Tacoma Rail. This transfer of ownership did not affect the MRSR and its tourist operations, nor the availability of the route to commercial shipment. In mid 2016, due to decline and poor management, MRSR was sold to American Heritage Railways, which also owns the world renowned Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, rebranding the MRSR as the Mount Rainier Railroad and Logging Museum.

American Heritage Railways operated the Mount Rainier Railroad & Logging Museum from 2016 to 2020, when it was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. American Heritage Railways then sought a new owner for the operation before the newly revived Western Forest Industries Museum acquired the railroad in 2022. In 2023, the railroad began offering a rail cycle experience from New Reliance between Elbe and Eatonville. On August 1, 2023, following a deal to run excursions on the Chehalis–Centralia Railroad falling through due to the latters' financial difficulties, it was announced that the Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad would resume service.

The Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad resumed train operations with a limited excursion schedule in September and October, 2023. After a hiatus since 2019, the historic steam engine “Polson 70” proudly pulled two vintage passenger cars, an open-air car, and a specially outfitted baggage car, serving as a concession and gift shop. The excursions included express trips from Elbe to Mineral. These long-awaited excursions mark the first under the new ownership of Western Forest Industries Museum (WFIM), a local nonprofit organization that assumed control of the railroad in August 2022, after its closure by its former for-profit operator, American Heritage Railways. With a storied history that dates back to 1980, Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad has played a vital role in the economic prosperity of southern Pierce County, as well as in preserving the region’s rich local history. Having served over 1.6 million passengers, the railroad is now poised to embark on a new journey under WFIM’s vision.

Locomotives

 * All of the railroad's locomotives are serviced at the maintenance shops in Mineral, WA.

Herbig-Haro object
I started this article and would like to see it get to featured status. It's about a quite important type of object in star formation, but it's a bit short-looking at the moment. I could put in plenty more information but am worried I'll be getting over-technical so seek opinions from others on what more this article needs. Worldtraveller 17:53, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

OK - here we go! (not reviewing on content) Take care! Ryan Norton T 19:26, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Caption on opening image is nonsensical and should be rewrote for the layman
 * 2) Intro needs two solid paragraphs, not 3 of mixed length :) Ryan Norton T 19:26, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) "Discovery and history of observations" - paragraphs too short
 * 4) "Numbers and distribution"  - too short. Also, the image caption here is better than the first, but I'd consider rewording this a bit too
 * 5) "Proper motions and variability" - all paragraphs too short End paragraph too short
 * 6) "Physical conditions" - almost all paragraphs too short and a one sentence paragraph
 * 7) "Multiplicity" - too short
 * 8) "References" - I believe the MoS says that references should be bulleted, not numbered (i could be wrong on this)
 * 9) "External links" - better description - WHERE is link pointing to? The actual description itself isn't too bad!

 * Thanks very much! That's very helpful. I've worked on the caption and intro, expanded discovery and history section a bit and rearranged numbers and distribution a bit.  Multiplicity still needs work, and I will probably actually merge it into a section on the stars that drive HH objects.  I'll sort the references properly once I've added a few more.  As for external links, I'm not quite sure what you're after here?  Do you mean you want to see the actual web address as well as a description of it?
 * Thanks again - Worldtraveller 23:51, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

For the external link thing instead of just having something like
 * A catalogue of HH objects

You should describe WHERE the link goes to, like or or Ryan Norton T 04:31, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * A catalogue of HH objects at the University of Colorado

 * With apologies for a slight delay, I've now worked on addressing the various comments. Multiplicity has now been converted into a larger section on the source stars.  Does the article make sense to the layman?  Is it coherent and is it at all interesting?  Thanks! Worldtraveller 11:48, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

I revised my things above - the intro is quite good (structure-wise) so the two vs. three paragraph thing probably isn't too bad here. Anyway, I did read this and it's fairly interesting but I have to click a whole bunch of wikilinks (nebula, interstellar medium) to find out what's going on. Maybe for the layman give a quickie in parenthases for terms like that. Otherwise, it looks good sans a short paragraph at the end there in "Proper motions and variability". Ryan Norton T 15:17, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

One more thing - "Characteristics" may want an intro. Pretty minor though in the scheme of things and it would probably be a quick two-sentence intro. Ryan Norton T 15:30, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm not so sure I can really make that short paragraph any longer without unnecessary padding. Will have a think about that.  Have altered the structure to remove the need for a characteristics intro (i think), and make the TOC look nicer as well.  Altered the text to make the meaning of nebula and interstellar medium clearer, hopefully - just let me know any other terms that need explaining and I'll add that.  Thanks!

Talk:Harald Quandt

Untitled
Not sure I understand the last edit, was he not the eldest child? Sherurcij 17:55, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

I don´t understand the sentence about his first crash at Zurich airport. It´s quite clear how this deals with his description as a keen pilot, but I don´t think his model railway at home has anything to do with that crash, as it sounds in this part of the article.. So please rewrite these sentences.

Some more information about his hobbies
I´ve just added some information about his other hobbies to the forth part of the article, just to divide the crash at Zurich Airport from his model railway at home. Overall, it´s a very informative article - the German Wikipedia is much shorter!!

 * Much thanks for your help :) Sherurcij (talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject) 22:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Harald´s childhood
Hi, I´ve just tried to sort out the timeline of Haralds childhood. It´s a bit complicated to explain, when he lived where during this time: When divorcing, his natural parents agreed that he should live with his mother - what´s normal in such cases - until she would marry again. (Of course, Magda didn´t think of re-marriage at that time, so she agreed.) When meeting Goebbels and falling in love with him, she tried to cancel that agreement, but was successful only three years after marrying him, in 1934 after the Nazis took power. Since then, Harald again stayed with her at the Goebbels household until 1940, when he finished school and joined the army.

With best regards, Eva

ARD programme October 2007
Don´t mistake me, the information about the ARD feature is quite necessary and interesting, but shouldn´t this part be removed from this article and better been mentioned with Günther or Herbert Quandt? I suppose the film ARD made deals with the actions of his father and half-brother during the war, so it should be mentioned more likely with one of them. It´s nothing Harald himself was engaged in, because he was at war in this years.- It might be interesting, by the way, that these film was shown at ARD only after 11:00 pm, when only few people were watching TV. The reason for this is quite clear: Quandt family is the owner of the German car producer BMW - of cause nobody in the German media can be interested to annoy them!!!

Many regards, Eva —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.79.1.52 (talk) 02:59, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Cities of studies
I´ve just added an explanation for his chosen cities to study - he went to Hannover and Stuttgart at all, because he could easily earn some money during the vacations there. (His father provided him only with small amounts of money, to teach him householding early enough, so that he would be able to work with large amounts of money respectable later.)

Business dealings of the father
This is an article about Harald Quandt and not his father. The paragraph about the business dealings of his father just doesn't belong here.--Lukati (talk) 16:26, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Manipulated image?
Why should the photo in this article be manipulated (copy and paste)? It was taken up at the birthday of Harald´s stepfather in 1942 (not a "round" one, of course), three days later Harald himself celebrated his 21st birthday - is it impossible that he was allowed driving home for these reasons if there was "all quiet on the western front?" Have a nice evening, Eva87.166.209.101 (talk) 18:54, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Private equity firm
Somehow I don't see Harald Quandt as a venture capitalist in the 1950s. "Private equity firm" is probably a mistranslation of "Aktiengesellschaft".2A02:AA1:1011:EC3F:5D6B:98D4:F505:5931 (talk) 15:06, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Repeat When Necessary

Repeat When Necessary is the fifth album by Welsh rock musician Dave Edmunds. Produced by Edmunds, it was released in 1979 by Swan Song Records. It was recorded and released at the same time as Nick Lowe's Labour of Lust, and features the same lineup of musicians: Edmunds, Lowe, Billy Bremner and Terry Williams.

Content
"Girls Talk", written by Elvis Costello, Graham Parker's "Crawling from the Wreckage" and the Hank DeVito-penned "Queen of Hearts" are among the highlights of this album. Juice Newton would cover "Queen of Hearts" in an arrangement virtually identical to Edmunds' on Juice, her 1981 breakthrough album.

Among the more obscure covers on the album are "Dynamite" (originally recorded by Cliff Richard and the Shadows) and "Take Me for a Little While" (originally recorded by Evie Sands and later covered by Jackie Ross, Dusty Springfield and Vanilla Fudge). "Home in My Hand" had been recorded seven years previously by Nick Lowe's old band, Brinsley Schwarz. "Bad Is Bad", written by Huey Lewis, would later be recorded by Lewis and his band the News for their 1983 multi-platinum album Sports.

Critical reception
The Globe and Mail wrote that "Edmund's pub-crawling rock doesn't wear thin if you're sipping and stomping along, but in the confines of your living room his Chuck Berry retakes are liable to send you back to an old Berry collection to find out where he copped the licks."

Galatoire's

Galatoire's is a restaurant at 209 Bourbon Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States.

History
Jean Galatoire, an immigrant from a small village near Pau, France, in the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains, established a "saloon on Canal Street" in 1896. In 1905, Galatoire purchased Victor's Restaurant, in business at the location since the mid-1800s. Galatoire renamed the restaurant and began cooking the dishes from his homeland. The restaurant is run by his fourth-generation descendants. Galatoire's specializes in French Creole cooking. The main entrance, a French door, leads into the first-floor dining room. The first-floor dining room is a mix of high ceilings, slow-moving paddle fans, and mirrored opposing walls, maintaining much of the look of a mid-19th century restaurant. The second-floor dining rooms, opened in 1999, comprise smaller rooms overlooking Bourbon Street. At lunch, men may dress casually, although after 5:00 PM, and all day on Sundays, men must wear a jacket.

In 2004, Galatoire's was cited by the James Beard Foundation as the "outstanding restaurant" in America.

Until 1999, the restaurant did not accept reservations, leaving patrons to stand in long lines on the Bourbon Street sidewalk. With the addition of the second-floor dining rooms and bar, standing on Bourbon Street is only needed for first-floor dining room seats, which are still always on a first-come-first-served basis. Exceptions to their first-come-first-served policy have never been allowed. According to the restaurant:
 * One Friday then-President Ronald Reagan placed a call to then retired U.S. Senator J. Bennett Johnston, who happened to be waiting in line for a table. After the President’s call had ended, Senator Johnston graciously returned to his position in line.

Most of the waiters are long-time employees who are professionals and local to south Louisiana.

In 2005, a second restaurant, Galatoire's Bistro, opened just off Interstate-10 on the southern fringe of Baton Rouge.

In December 2009, the descendants of founder Jean Galatoire, who had owned the restaurant for five generations, sold a controlling interest in the business to Destrehan businessman Todd Trosclair. After a subsequent transaction, a majority of Trosclair's interest was sold to New Orleans businessman (and political candidate) John Georges. As a result of this sale, Georges became the largest, though not majority, shareholder. Trosclair, who became chair of the board of directors, noted that even he would have to wait in line. Five members of the Galatoire family remain as minority owners. The executive chef, as of September 2018, is Phillip Lopez.

Galatoire's Monologues
On April 27, 2002, Gilberto Eyzaguirre was fired from Galatoire's. Eyzaguirre had worked as a waiter at the restaurant for more than 20 years, yet was dismissed after multiple sexual harassment complaints from the staff. Eyzaguirre's firing caused a huge controversy in New Orleans due to the dissatisfaction of the regular customers. The event became a social drama, and over 150 of the regular diners wrote letters against Eyzaguirre's dismissal, along with creating a website for him, and talking about it on radio talk shows.

There were two sides to this debate; that of the elites who were very against Eyzaguirre being fired as he was a long-time worker at Galatoire's, and that of the broader public backed up by lawyers, journalists, and the former U.S. Attorney, who viewed the dismissal as a fair one. A columnist from The Times-Picayune named Chris Rose decided to use all the letters written for the journal in a satirical reading named "Galatoire's Monologues." The satire took place in a cabaret and had many local celebrities as part of it. It was a huge success and many of the readings became sold out. In 2003, the readings were performed at a conference in Napa, California, at the museum of American Center for Wine, Food and the Art.

Communist Party of Albania (1991)

The Communist Party of Albania (Partia Komuniste e Shqipërisë, PKSh) is an anti-revisionist Marxist–Leninist communist party in Albania. The party was formed in 1991, as a split from the Party of Labour of Albania which converted itself into the Socialist Party of Albania. It upholds Enver Hoxha and Hoxhaism. The party was led by Hysni Milloshi until his death in 2012.

Nexhmije Hoxha, Enver Hoxha's wife, was a member of the party.

History
On 16 July 1992, the Albanian parliament voted to ban the party and its newspaper. A law that took effect in June allowed leaders of political parties, members of parliament and government ministers to keep weapons and as the party was banned, its leader, Hysni Milloshi, was arrested on 22 July 1992 for illegal weapons possession.

The law banning the Communist Party of Albania was repealed in April 1998, and the PKSH became the first communist party after 1991 to legally register at the Electoral Commission.

In 2002, a fraction of PKSH split and merged into that refounded the Albanian Party of Labour. In a 2006 unification congress, the Communist Party of Albania, Albanian Party of Labour and smaller communist parties merged as the Communist Party of Albania. 300 members of these parties participated in this congress and Hysni Milloshi was the leader of the unified party.

In the 2005 parliamentary elections, the party gained 8,901 votes (0.7%) on the proportional list. However, at the 2013 elections its number of votes declined sharply, gathering 899 votes nationwide. In 2017 parliamentary elections it gathered 1,029 votes (0.07%).

PKSH publishes Zëri i së Vërtetës ('The Voice of Truth'). The youth wing of the party is known as Communist Youth of Albania.

Category recreated
Hi, Beyonce. I notice that you created this Category:Irish speakers recently. I should tell you that this category existed previously under the name Irish (Gaeilge) language speakers and it was decided in May that it should be deleted (see the CFD debate). I don't think anything has changed as regards the category since May, so this category should not really have been created as it is the same one under a different name. I can see you have put a good bit of work into adding this to different pages, but unfortunately I have to say that it should probably be deleted. Tameamseo (talk) 18:07, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, and sorry - I haven't been very active here before, so I was unaware of the discussion above. I still think that it's a valuable category though, since actual Irish speakers are not exactly common in Ireland and therefore it is definitely something worth noting. It's certainly not the case that we can assume that all Irish people speak Irish. I respect the points made already and the decision made, but I still find it hard to see how this is not note-worthy information. --Beyonce (talk) 18:54, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Canadian Voltigeurs

The Canadian Voltigeurs were a light infantry unit, raised in Lower Canada (the present-day Province of Quebec) in 1812, that fought in the War of 1812 between Britain and the United States.

Formation
As war with the United States threatened, on 15 April 1812 Sir George Prevost, the Governor General of Canada, authorised the enlistment of a Provincial Corps of Light Infantry under Lieutenant Colonel Charles de Salaberry, to serve during war or the "apprehension of war".

The unit was officially part of the militia, and its enlisted personnel were subject to the Militia laws and ordinances, but for all practical purposes, it was administered on the same basis as the Fencible units, also raised in Canada as regular soldiers but liable for service in North America only.

De Salaberry selected members of the leading families of Lower Canada as officers, but their commissions were not confirmed until they had recruited their quota of volunteers (for example, 36 men for Captains, 14 for Lieutenants). Several other officers transferred from units of the British Army stationed in Canada, in the hope that they would gain rank or seniority by the transfer. Most of these officers remained with the Voltigeurs even when these ambitions were not fulfilled.

The ".. men to be enrolled in this corps to be between the age of 17 and 35 years and not below 5 feet 3 inches." Recruiting was brisk; in addition to a bounty of £4, the recruits were promised a grant of 50 acre of land on discharge. Almost all the soldiers and most of the officers were French-speaking, which led to the unit being widely known as the Voltigeurs, a French word meaning "vaulter" or "leaper", and given to certain elite light infantry units in the French Army. However, all formal orders on the parade ground or in battle were given in English.

The Voltigeurs wore grey uniforms, with black facings and accoutrements. The coats were fitted with the padded "wings" worn by grenadier and light infantry units of the British Army. The headgear was a small black bearskin cap. Officers wore a hussar-type uniform, in bottle-green (or "rifle green", as it was becoming known). The weapon carried was the light infantry pattern of the British India Pattern Musket, though there may have been some rifles.

The new unit mustered at Chambly. It had eight companies of light infantry. Two further companies were recruited from Sedentary militia of the Eastern Townships of the Montreal district, and officially listed as the ninth and tenth companies, but they formed a separate corps, the Frontier Light Infantry, throughout the War of 1812.

When the unit was formed, "... An additional Company formed of Indians will be allowed to be attached to this corps, consisting of six Chiefs and sixty Warriors. This Company will be armed, clothed (after their own manner) & victualled at the expence of Government; they will receive presents as a reward instead of Pay."

Service in the War of 1812
Some of the Voltigeurs were in action at the Battle of Lacolle Mills (1812), in which a half-hearted invasion of Canada by the American General Henry Dearborn was turned back.

Early in 1813 three companies were detached under the unit's second-in-command, Major Frederick Heriot, and moved up the Saint Lawrence River to form part of the garrison of Kingston, the main British base on Lake Ontario. On 29 May, two of these companies took part in the Second Battle of Sacket's Harbor. Later in the year, the detachment moved to Fort Wellington at Prescott, and subsequently played an important part in the Battle of Crysler's Farm.

The main body of the unit formed part of a light corps stationed to the south of Montreal, which was commanded by de Salaberry in person. Learning that an American division under Major General Wade Hampton was advancing from Four Corners in New York state, de Salaberry's force entrenched themselves by the River Chateauguay. On 26 October, Hampton attacked. Two companies of the Voltigeurs formed part of de Salaberry's front line, and five companies were part of his reserve. At the resulting Battle of the Chateauguay, Hampton was repulsed.

Early in 1814, the entire unit concentrated at Montreal, and was built back up to strength. De Salaberry had been appointed Inspecting Field Officer of Militia, and Major Heriot became the Voltigeurs' acting Commanding Officer. A company of the Voltigeurs played a large part in repulsing an American army under Major General James Wilkinson at the Second Battle of Lacolle Mills in March 1814.

The Voltigeurs were brigaded with the Frontier Light Infantry, and another militia light infantry unit, the Canadian Chasseurs for Governor General Prévost's advance into New York State in September 1814. The combined light infantry force formed part of a brigade under Major General Thomas Brisbane during the Battle of Plattsburgh, where the British army retreated after its supporting naval squadron was destroyed.

At the end of the war, the unit was disbanded on 24 May 1815.

Legacy
The current Voltigeurs de Québec today perpetuate the history and traditions of the Canadian Voltigeurs within the Canadian Army. They also share a common link by the name, the province in which they are located and family ties since the founding commanding officer, Charles-René-Léonidas d'Irumberry de Salaberry is Charles de Salaberry's grandson, and named after him.

A junior ice hockey team in the QMJHL from Drummondville, Quebec, the Drummondville Voltigeurs, takes their name from the unit.

Talk:Nicholas Van Dyke (1769-1826)

Year of Birth
I have altered his year of birth from 1770 to 1769. The 1770 year comes from the Congressional bioguide, whuich in turn comes from the Dictionary of American Biography. I believe their source was his headstone in the Immanuel Churchyard in New Castle which only gives his date of death and notes "in his 56th year". (1826 minus 56 is 1770).

I found the 1769 year in the DAR records, the Princeton University arcchives and two genealogy sources, as well as Applpleton's Encyclopedia (1889 printing). Given the dates of birth and death, 1769 means his death would be in his 56th year, so I've chosen to go with that year. Comment here of my talk page, thanks, Lou I 18:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Move help request
The name of this article should be moved to Nicholas Van Dyke (senator) to conform to the standard for disambiguating politicians using their most significant office. An administrator's assistance is required. stilltim 23:10, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Wouldn't it be easier to disambiguate as Nicholas Van Dyke, Sr. and Nicholas Van Dyke, Jr.? There no hard and fast rule about disambiguating politicians by their most significant office. older ≠ wiser 01:35, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose the move; instead move to Nicholas Van Dyke, Jr.
 * As they are father and son, and they are the only 2 Nicholas Van Dykes in the encyclopedia, "Jr" seems the most natural article name. I have just read Naming conventions (people) which says there are no hard and fast rules, and seems to say that Sr. and Jr. are fine for this case.  To my mind, parentheses are clumsy and should only be used as a last resort.  --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 08:54, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * The problem with "Junior" is that it is inaccurate in that the father of Nicholas Van Dyke the Governor was another Nicholas Van Dyke. Further, they never seemed have used these terms to distinguish themselves. Otherwise, I would agree with the comments above. stilltim 12:51, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Okay; vote withdrawn. If it was not customary at the time, and there are no distinguishing middle names, then go for the most senior posting. Should we take the Jr. and Sr. out of the article bodies?   Whichever of the two is the more notable can go to Nicholas Van Dyke; the other gets their senior posting.  --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 13:47, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * If the Jr./Sr. monikers were not used, then why do the articles use them to refer to these people? older ≠ wiser 14:23, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Also, the correct title of the office at the time the father held it was "president" of Delaware. The title Governor was not used until the new state constitution of 1792 -- Joshua Clayton was the first person to have the title of Governor of Delaware. older ≠ wiser 14:23, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * It is correct that the office held by his father was called President at that time, and the article states that clearly, but the same office has been known as governor since 1792, and since the object of disambiguation is clarity, it would seem "governor" would be the most helpful term to use. stilltim 00:50, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Kure Kure Takora

Kure Kure Takora (クレクレタコラ) is a tokusatsu children's comedy show from Japan. Produced by Toho Company Ltd., the show ran for 260 episodes and aired on Fuji TV from October 1, 1973 to September 27, 1974. Kure Kure Takora—the main character of the show—wants everything he sees and says "Kure! Kure!" ("I want it! I want it!"). Each episode ran exactly 2 minutes and 41 seconds.

Episodes 223, 252, and 255 never aired. The show was eventually rebroadcast over CS digital satellite television, with the exception of episode 220, which was omitted because Takora is repeatedly referred to by his neighbors as "crazy"— which was thought to be verbally abusive towards the mentally ill — as he goes on a violent rampage with a blunt katana. Laserdisc and VHS versions of the show have been released. A complete DVD set (which included episode 220) was released in 2002 but has since gone out of print.

Staff

 * Creator/Planning - Osamu Isono
 * Writers - Shinichi Ichikawa, Hiroshi Kashiwabara, Yuko Kinoshita, Yoshimi Shinozaki, Yuji Watanabe
 * Directors - Katsumune Ishida, Ko Tsuboshima, Tsugunobu Otani
 * Music - Shunsuke Kikuchi

Voice cast

 * Takora, Chonbo, Monro: Yoshiko Ota
 * Debura, Biragon, Herara, Shikushiku, Ikary: Osamu Saka

Characters

 * Takora is a red octopus. He uses a type of ninjitsu where he can transform anything from a dopey iguana to a vacuum cleaner to a guitar. His best friend is the weak-willed peanut-inspired Chonbo. While he has friends, he seems to have no problems leaving them for dead if he has to make a fast getaway. Like most of the other characters in the show, Takora is in love with the fickle pink walrus Monro. His greatest fear is being soaked with vinegar and being served as sudako (pickled octopus).
 * Chonbo is Takora's best friend, and often accompanies him for his antics. He is a humanoid plant. Although he is complicit in many of Takora's crazy schemes, he along with Takora often face the consequences when these schemes backfire. Chonbo is rather athletic, often seen somersaulting and tumbling.
 * Tororo is a short jellyfish who squawks like a dolphin. He is able to spray vinegar out of the top of his head via a sprinkler. As a result of his fear of vinegar, Takora tries to prevent this from happening by giving Tororo a hat. Tororo can turn invisible and teleport at will and is even a bigger troublemaker than Takora. Most of the other characters are frightened of him.
 * Monro is a pink walrus who the rest of the cast are in love with. She often demands unreasonable things from her suitors only to lose interest in them. She has been romantically involved with every other character in the series - even the Sea Cucumber Gang.
 * Debura is a rotund badger who is often seen chewing on the stub of a cigar, and is the forest's local police officer.
 * Biragon is a slow-witted iguana; he is extremely lazy and spends most of his time sleeping. It's implied that he has a lot of money, as he is frequently shown having acquired a new gadget or toy which Takora tries to steal.
 * The Sea Cucumber Gang: This comedic trio is made up of Ikary, Herara and Shikushiku, the latter of whom tends to get picked on. They have their own theme song, which they sometimes sing.

Theme song
Roughly translated from Japanese, the lyrics to the show's theme song are:

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! I want everything Gimme Gimme Octopus Up from the ocean I got hot and sunburned Why must I live at the top of the tree Viewing all my desires through a telescope... I want the stars! Gimme Gimme Octopus

Big Dave (character)

Big Dave is a comics character created and written by Grant Morrison and Mark Millar, with artwork by Steve Parkhouse, for 2000 AD.

The character was created for The Summer Offensive, an experiment in which the magazine was handed over to Millar, Morrison and John Smith for eight weeks.

Publication history
Big Dave first appeared in prog (the 2000 AD term for issue) #842 in his first story which featured Saddam Hussein trying to take over the world and turn everyone into "poofs" with the aid of some scary aliens. Big Dave, "the hardest man in Manchester", manages to stop Saddam's plan with the help of Terry Waite.

The next story featured the British Royal Family as robots plus The Princess of Wales and The Duchess of York as a pair of horny drunks. The story ends with Dave in bed with both royals.

A third story had Dave leading a minibus full of disabled children to the football world cup final where they defeat a German team managed by Adolf Hitler.

Ford Ranges

The Ford Ranges (-77°N, -144°W) are a collection of mountain groups and ranges standing east of Sulzberger Ice Shelf and Block Bay in the northwest part of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica.

Location
The Ford Ranges lie along the coast of Marie Byrd Land to the south and east of the Sulzberger Ice Shelf and to the east of Block Bay. The ranges and major glaciers are, from southwest to northeast, Hershey Ridge, Haines Mountains, Hammond Glacier, Swope Glacier, Mackay Mountains, Boyd Glacier, Sarnoff Mountains, Allegheny Mountains, Clark Mountains, Arthur Glacier, Denfeld Mountains, Crevasse Valley Glacier, Chester Mountains, Fosdick Mountains, Balchen Glacier and Phillips Mountains.

A 1945 report defines the Southern Ford Ranges as the ranges between McKinley Peak and the Balchen Glacier, which excludes the Phillips Mountains. They cover an area of about 7000 sqmi. This portion of the mountainous coastland of Marie Byrd Land is one of the few areas in Antarctica where there are enough rock outcrops to make it practical to undertake geological mapping. A 1991 report defines the Northern Ford Ranges as including the Phillips, Fosdick and Chester Mountains. The Fosdick Mountains contain high-grade metamorphic rocks, while the Phillips and Chester Mountains have outcroppings of plutonic rocks. The Devonian Ford granodiorite is found in the Phillips, Chester and Denfield Mountains. The Cretaceous Byrd Coast granite is found throughout the Ford Ranges.

Discovery and name
The Ford Ranges were discovered by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (ByrdAE) on December 5, 1929. They were named by Richard E. Byrd for Edsel Ford of the Ford Motor Company, who helped finance the expedition.

Glaciers

 * Hammond Glacier (-77.41667°N, -146°W), a glacier on the northeast side of the Haines Mountains, flowing northwest for about 40 nmi to Sulzberger Ice Shelf.

Shakespeare and Company (bookstore)

Shakespeare and Company is an English-language bookstore opened in 1951 by George Whitman, located on Paris's Left Bank.

The store was named after Sylvia Beach's bookstore of the same name founded in 1919 on the Left Bank, which closed in 1941. Whitman adopted the "Shakespeare and Company" name for his store in 1964.

The bookstore is situated at 37 rue de la Bûcherie, in the 5th arrondissement. Opened in 1951 by American George Whitman, it was originally called "Le Mistral", but was renamed to "Shakespeare and Company" in 1964 in tribute to Sylvia Beach's store and on the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's birth. Today, it continues to serve as a purveyor of new and second-hand books, as an antiquarian bookseller, and as a free reading library open to the public.

Additionally, the shop houses aspiring writers and artists in exchange for helping out around the bookstore. Since the shop opened in 1951, more than 30,000 people have slept in the beds found tucked between bookshelves. The shop's motto, "Be Not Inhospitable to Strangers Lest They Be Angels in Disguise", is written above the entrance to the reading library.

History
In 1951, American ex-serviceman George Whitman opened an English-language bookstore on Paris's Left Bank under the name of "Le Mistral". Its premises, the site of a 16th-century monastery, are at 37 rue de la Bûcherie, near Place Saint-Michel, just steps from the Seine, Notre-Dame and the Île de la Cité.

Much like Sylvia Beach's historic Shakespeare and Company bookstore which had closed in 1941, Whitman's store quickly became the focal point of literary culture in bohemian Paris. Early habitués included writers of the Beat Generation – Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, and William S. Burroughs, who is said to have researched sections of Naked Lunch in the medical section of the bookstore's library. Other visitors were James Baldwin, Anaïs Nin, Julio Cortázar, Richard Wright, Lawrence Durrell, Max Ernst, Bertolt Brecht, William Saroyan, Terry Southern, and editors of The Paris Review, such as George Plimpton, Peter Matthiessen, and Robert Silvers.

George Whitman had modeled his shop after Sylvia Beach's. In 1958, while dining with Whitman at a party for James Jones who had newly arrived in Paris, Beach announced that she was handing the name to him for his bookshop. In 1964, after Sylvia Beach's death and on the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's birth, Whitman renamed his store "Shakespeare and Company," which is, as he described it, "a novel in three words."

Whitman called his venture "a socialist utopia masquerading as a bookstore". Henry Miller called it "a wonderland of books". The shop has beds tucked among the shelves of books where aspiring writers are invited to sleep for free in exchange for helping around the bookshop, agreeing to read a book a day, and writing a one-page autobiography for the shop's archives. These guests are called "Tumbleweeds", after the plants that "blow in and out on the winds of chance", as Whitman described. An estimated 30,000 people have stayed at the shop since it opened in 1951.

Whitman's only child, Sylvia Whitman, named after Sylvia Beach, began helping her father with management of the bookstore in 2003. She now runs the store with her partner, David Delannet, in the same manner as her father did. Regular activities are a Sunday Tea Party, writers' workshops, and weekly events that have included writers such as Dave Eggers, A. M. Homes, Jonathan Safran Foer, and Naomi Klein.

In 2003, Sylvia Whitman founded FestivalandCo, a literary festival that was held biennially at the park next-door to the bookstore, Square René-Viviani. Participants included Paul Auster, Siri Hustvedt, Jeanette Winterson, Jung Chang, and Marjane Satrapi.

George Whitman was awarded the Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2006, one of France's highest cultural honor.

In 2010, the bookstore launched The Paris Literary Prize for unpublished novellas, with a top prize of 10,000 euro provided by the de Groot Foundation. The winner of the first contest was Rosa Rankin-Gee, whose entry, The Last Kings of Sark, was subsequently published by Virago. The winner of the second prize was C. E. Smith; his entry, Body Electric, was co-published by the bookstore and The White Review.

George Whitman died at the age of 98 on 14 December 2011, in his apartment above the bookstore. His daughter Sylvia now runs the store.

Partnering with Bob's Bake Shop, Shakespeare and Company opened a café in 2015, located next door to the store in what had been, since 1981, an abandoned garage. The café serves primarily vegetarian food, with vegan and gluten-free options. George Whitman had been trying to open a literary café in the same space since as early as 1969.

At the end of October 2020, the bookstore reported that its sales had dropped 80% since March due to the outbreak of COVID-19. During the first lockdown in France, the bookstore was closed for two months and didn't sell online following the advice from the trade body of the Syndicat de la Librairie française. The owner of the bookstore informed the media that they were struggling, had exhausted their savings, and were grateful for any orders on the re-opened website.

Publications
Several literary publications have had their editorial address at the bookstore, including the avant-garde journal Merlin, which is credited for having discovered Samuel Beckett, it being the first to publish him in English. Among the journal's editors were Richard Seaver, Christopher Logue, and Alexander Trocchi. Jane Lougee was the publisher. From 1959 to 1964, Jean Fanchette published Two Cities from the bookshop; the journal's patrons included Anaïs Nin and Lawrence Durrell, and it published, among others, Ted Hughes and Octavio Paz. From 1978 to 1981, a group of American and Canadian expatriates ran a literary journal out of the upstairs library, called Paris Voices. The journal published young writers such as Welsh poet Tony Curtis and Irish playwright and novelist Sebastian Barry. The editor-in-chief was Kenneth R. Timmerman and the editorial team included Canadian Antanas Sileika. Other publications established from the bookstore include Frank magazine, edited by David Applefield with contributions from writers such as Mavis Gallant and John Berger, and Whitman's own The Paris Magazine (or "The Poor Man's Paris Review", as he called it), with contributors including Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Jean-Paul Sartre, Marguerite Duras, Pablo Neruda, and—in a more recent edition--Lucy Sante, Michel Houellebecq, and Rivka Galchen. The first issue debuted in 1967, the most recent in 2010.

In 2016, the bookstore published its own history in a book titled Shakespeare and Company, Paris: A History of the Rag & Bone Shop of the Heart, edited by Krista Halverson with a foreword by Jeanette Winterson and an epilogue by Sylvia Whitman. Other contributors to the book include Ethan Hawke, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, Anaïs Nin, Robert Stone, Ian Rankin, Kae Tempest, and Jim Morrison. The book features an illustrated adaptation of Sylvia Beach's memoirs. It also includes a selection of George Whitman's letters and journals written along his "hobo adventures" during the Great Depression. The kindness he received from strangers along the way inspired the founding ethos of the bookstore: "Give what you can; take what you need."

In popular culture

 * Shakespeare and Company features in Richard Linklater's film Before Sunset, Nora Ephron's Julie & Julia, and in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris.
 * The store and the owner George Whitman were the subject of Portrait of a Bookstore as an Old Man, a 2003 documentary film directed by Benjamin Sutherland and Gonzague Pichelin.
 * Shakespeare and Company is showcased in the Hong Kong TVB drama Triumph in the Skies 2 when characters Ron and Myolie Wu are reading and sleeping in the store.
 * Shakespeare and Company is featured in the third season of Highlander: The Series as a bookstore in Paris operated by Watcher Don Salzer. In the fourth season, the Immortal Methos uses a hidden room in the bookstore's cellar as storage space for his ancient journals.
 * The store is featured in Michael Palin's Hemingway Adventure (1999). The documentary includes a brief interview with the owner, following an overnight stay by Palin.

Stewart Robson

Stewart Ian Robson (born 6 November 1964) is an English former football player and TV and radio football pundit. He played for Arsenal, West Ham United where he was their player of the season in 1988, and Coventry City. After his footballing career ended he took on a role as a TV and radio pundit for Arsenal TV until 2012, ESPN, TalkSPORT and TNT Sports. He is currently ESPN's lead color commentator for FA Cup and EFL Cup working alongside Jon Champion and Martin Tyler (world feed), and Bundesliga with Derek Rae, who he also provides commentary alongside in the FIFA/EA FC video game series since 2021.

Arsenal
Born in Billericay, Essex, he was educated at Alleyn Court Prep School in Westcliff on Sea and Brentwood School. Robson joined Arsenal as a schoolboy in 1978. He made his debut soon after his 17th birthday, on 5 December 1981 against West Ham United, and became a regular player in the Arsenal side under manager Terry Neill and his eventual successor Don Howe.

Robson showed great promise as a young footballer, both in his versatility (although he usually played in midfield, he was equally adept in defence as full back or centre back) and his competitiveness; he was an enthusiastic runner and tackler. He was the Arsenal's 1985 Player of the Year, and made the England senior squad. Then an injury in the cup tie against Rotherham on 25 January 1986 wrecked his season. He was out for over two months with groin trouble, and missed his England call up, and that probably cost him a place in the World Cup, and was on the stand by-list.

After the arrival of George Graham as manager in May 1986, Robson found himself out of the Arsenal side, only playing five matches of the 1986–87 season, before losing his place to Steve Williams. Leaving in January 1987, he had played 186 matches for Arsenal, scoring 21 goals.

West Ham United
He was sold to West Ham United in January 1987 for £700,000. His time with West Ham was plagued with injuries, particularly to his pelvis. Manager John Lyall later revealed that Robson had been on the treatment table at Highbury when he had signed him and he was rarely fully fit for the Hammers. His first West Ham game was on 24 January 1987 in a 3–1 away win at Coventry City. He remained a regular in the Hammers' first team for two and a half years, and Player of the Year for 1988. However, lost his place after they were relegated in 1989, playing only eight league games in the following two years following a succession of injuries to his pelvic area. His last game was a 6–1 FA Cup defeat of Aldershot on 16 January 1991.

Coventry City
In March 1991, Terry Butcher signed Robson for Coventry City on a free transfer. He helped them stay in the First Division and become founder members of the FA Premier League in 1992–93. Robson went on to make 57 league appearances for the Sky Blues, but once again, injury ruined his spell at the club; he suffered a bad knee injury playing his old club Arsenal at the start of the 1993–94 season. In the summer of 1995, Robson announced his retirement citing a history of injuries; he had just spent the entire season sidelined due to injury.

Coaching career
Robson later joined Wimbledon as a youth coach, eventually moving up the ranks to become reserve team manager and then first-team coach until leaving in December 2001. In 2003, he spent a short spell as first-team coach and as caretaker manager at Southend United between 25 March 2003 and 18 April 2003. In 2004, he joined Rushden & Diamonds as technical director of football.

Robson also played cricket for Coventry and for North Warwickshire.

Media career
Robson has teamed up with Martin Tyler as the commentary duo for the non-UK international feed of the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League. He worked for Arsenal TV as co-commentator. He commentated for BT Sport for the 2012 African Cup of Nations. He has also appeared on Absolute Radio's Rock'n'Roll Football alongside Jim Proudfoot. Robson is a regular contributor on the football podcast released by The Times in conjunction with their weekly football supplement The Game. He has also presented on TalkSPORT. He also works for BT Sport as a co-commentator for UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, Bundesliga, and Serie A. For the 2014 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2016, Robson partnered with Jon Champion and with Ian Darke on Euro 2020 for ESPN's coverage in the United States. He now serves as the lead color commentator for FA Cup and EFL matches on ESPN alongside Champion and Tyler. He also commentates on La Liga and Bundesliga for ESPN with Rob Palmer and Derek Rae.

Robson has been consistently critical of former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger. Robson also regularly appears on ESPN FC, which airs on ESPN in the US and on BT Sport in the UK.

In 2021, Robson became the primary co-commentator of the EA Sports video games, FIFA 22, FIFA 23 and EA FC 24.

Honours

 * Arsenal Player of the Season: 1984−85
 * Football League First Division Team of the Year: 1985–86
 * West Ham United FC Player of the Year: 1988
 * Coventry City FC Player of the Year: 1992

John Harle

John Harle (born 20 September 1956) is an English saxophonist, composer, educator and record producer. He is an Ivor Novello Award winner and has been the recipient of two Royal Television Society awards.

Biography
Harle was born in Newcastle upon Tyne. Following his education at the Royal College of Music in London and, as a French Government Music Scholar, in Paris with Daniel Deffayet, he won the Amcon Award of The American Concert Artists Guild. In his early years, he was a member of the band of composer Michael Nyman and orchestrator for film composer Stanley Myers, expanding from that into scoring for film and television. In the 1990s, he began a career as saxophonist and composer, both artistically and commercially.

Harle composed the theme tune and music for the BBC TV series Silent Witness. In May 1998, Harle was the castaway on BBC Radio 4's long-running Desert Island Discs programme, with the BBC describing him as "the most-recorded saxophonist in the world".

Harle served as artistic advisor to Paul McCartney for six years, and has collaborated with Elvis Costello, Herbie Hancock and Elmer Bernstein.

In addition to his own prolific recording, Harle has contributed directly or indirectly to a number of charting songs and albums by others. A jingle he wrote for Nissan in 1993 became the basis of a charting pop single by Jazzie B. His album Terror and Magnificence (1996) featured Elvis Costello, Sarah Leonard and Andy Sheppard. He contributed to the charting album Standing Stone (1997) by Paul McCartney.

Harle has also been an educator, serving at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London in the late 1980s as a professor of Saxophone and Chamber Music. He is currently Professor of Saxophone at the Guildhall School.

In 2012, the Royal Television Society awarded Harle its "Music: Original Score" award for his composition for BBC 2's programme Lucian Freud: Painted Life, describing it as "An excellent, challenging and original score that perfectly complements Freud's powerful imagery". It also won the 2013 British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA) Ivor Novello Award for "Best Television Soundtrack".

In October 2013, on BBC Radio 3's In Tune programme, Harle talked about his recently released album Art Music, the composition of which was inspired by his favourite paintings.

Harle appeared with Marc Almond on BBC Radio 4's Front Row in February 2014 to discuss their collaborative work about Gothic London, The Tyburn Tree (Dark London). Harle was a guest on the same programme in November of that year, to mark the bicentenary of the birth of Adolphe Sax by assessing the contribution of Sax's invention, the saxophone.

Harle has written a reference book, The Saxophone: The Art and Science of Playing and Performing, published in May 2017.

Personal life
Harle has two sons: writer and curator Matthew Harle, and Mad Decent composer and producer Danny L Harle.
