Enterprise Technology schools teach the science of Info Technology as utilized to enterprise. Enterprise Technology students are taught how to develop, restore and keep communications pathways for businesses, together with computers, software program, networking, Web applications, and telecommunications. In this article, we explore the ethics of rising technologies with a view to offering decision makers with insights that permit them to steer R&I in directions letting them proactively interact with possible ethical issues. Having outlined what constitutes an rising technology, extra specifically an rising ICT, and which eleven emerging ICTs are being recognized, we now want to explain what counts as an ethical situation in this context.
There are at present 2 types of RAM used in computers. The older varieties used in computers made within the last 4 years is known as DDR and the newer kind which has been around for final years is called DDR2. The DDR2 is able to run at increased speed and therefore higher bandwidths. If you end up buying RAM stick, it is strongly recommended that you purchase 2 sticks which are 512MB in size and is of identical specification so that the whole dimension adds as much as 1GB or in case you are going for higher measurement it ought to be 2 1GB size sticks so the overall provides up to 2GB and so on.
Many retail outlets have put in bar-coding and level-of-sale (POS) systems for stock control and gross sales evaluation. Some retail chains have linked up their POS techniques with distributors, exchanging buy orders and invoices. Data mining technology has been applied to analyse the vast amount of knowledge collected by POS to help managerial and advertising determination.
Science and technology is the most effective factor society may ever ask for. Because the industrial revolution within the 18th century science has been in progress. Some sectors which were boosted by science and technology are energy, bodily sciences, info and communication. The society has significantly gained with the invention of technology. Procedures for using, operating, and sustaining an data system are part of its documentation. For example, procedures should be established to run a payroll program, together with when to run it, who is allowed to run it, and who has entry to the output. Within the autonomous computing initiative, knowledge centres are more and more run routinely, with the procedures embedded within the software program that controls those centres.

2012 Sculptureswebmaster2020-01-08T11:26:02-06:00
by Mia Hall
Photograph by Tod Swiecichowski
As an artist I often seek out objects to portray that can communicate a specific feeling, sensation or memory. Replicating that object in a foreign, or contradicting material lends me the option to question the connection the viewer has to the object. It creates an immediate reaction when discovering that a seemingly light, soft and fluffy pillow is in fact constructed out of concrete, or lace doilies that have been stiffened to hold a shape permanently. This interaction and contradiction is where I find fascination.
three rings:
tribute to isamu noguchi
by Bryan Winfred Massey, Sr.
It is my desire that when people view my work that they can see the sincerity and the passion I have developed in the God-given talent that I've been blessed with. I want them to leave seeing the materials that I've used in an innovative way.
Three Rings: Tribute to Isamu Noguchi is just what the title states. Isamu Noguchi (Japanese-American Sculptor 1904-1988) was one of the three sculptures I studied in undergraduate school (East Carolina University) and continued to view as my mentor in graduate school (Louisiana State University) as I perfected my stone carving skills.
His ability to combine various stones and media fascinated me in the early days of my career and I want to continue to mix various media that reflect his influence, but with my distinctive, artistic voice.
control center 5
by David Obrien
Control Center 5, as well as the majority of my recent work over the last few years is inspired by having lived in large cities, farming communities and mountain wildernesses and noting the clash that exists between these environments. The industrial grain silo can be found in all of these places and is frequently abandoned. These structures have a timeless type of sculptural beauty and will quite possibly remain to mark our passing. This piece attempts to capture these thoughts and feelings.
I work in a variety of mediums, but unifying themes run throughout. In my paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, prints and films I attempt to create feelings of psychosomatic uneasiness and explore the relationship between man and nature.
deeply rooted
by Stephanie Shinaberry
"One of the greatest conditions of happiness is that the link of man and nature shall not be broken." —Leo Tolstoy
This quote from Tolstoy sums up my thoughts on nature, working from the idea that we are one with nature. Being out in the natural world and being aware of my connection to plant and animal life, brings focus, and increased awareness into my life. Just touching the ground gives me rejuvenation and vitality.
The figure growing out of the earth represents our inseparable, interconnectedness with the planet. It is a dance in celebration of the wonders of nature and all it provides us.
I work in the medical field. I am concerned with health, the human condition and believe our attitudes toward the environment are critical. I believe in the healing power of nature. If we can feel a connection to nature, hopefully we can begin to care about the earth, the impact our actions have and to become stewards for our planet.
rebuilding the dream
by Tod "Switch" Swiecichowski
This project is all about rebirth.
I purchased my c. 1904 home in the Quapaw Quarter after the tornado came through in 2000. There now was a vacant lot across from me and while I didn't experience the wrath of the storm, I was dealing with the after effects. Though that home was never rebuilt, the lot is now a large playground for the new owners children and there still are the mounds of beautiful flowers that come back each year.
My idea is to show that with the "Bad," there can be "Good." It all depends on your perspective.
Working as an architectural photographer for over 20 years, angular, geometric shapes have played an important part of my life. When I came across this geometric pattern, I instantly saw the abstract tornado moving in this form. I added a layered design on the top with repetitive squares, which produced the "flower." Bringing in some depth with additional triangular "leaves" gave it symmetry, and placing the piece on a shadow/ tornado path ties it all together.
This sculpture, in its own small way, is showing that one needs to look for Life's little pleasures when others are dwelling on what went wrong. On a much larger scale is what has been done with a sculpture garden in a place like SOMA. I also choose to look for the Good!
companions: the three sisters
by John Mark Van Horn
New interest has piqued for historic horticulture practices, resulting in local and community gardens rich with native and naturalized species. These heritage plants have survived among the jungle of conglomerate corporate agriculture in part because of their attractiveness as easy-to-grow "pass-alongs." Often being shared with a family member or close friend, they carry the weighty sentiment of a life-gift.
An old practice that has recently been reborn through the Heritage Movement is that of companion gardening; by planting species that benefit one another, both thrive rather than compete, and a symbiotic relationship — much like a family bond — is forged. Native American farming societies, understanding the significance of the gifts given by the garden, also equated family bonds with the cycle of growth and harvest. Several nations entertained stories of The Three Sisters; each version had varying details, but the siblings represented three important companion plants that were instrumental to the health of the community.
One myth describes the sisters, who were all very different in style and stature: Baby sister was so small as to only crawl, and she was swaddled in green. The middle sister wore yellow, and had a habit of wandering, running off by herself, toward the cycling sun or in the direction of the wind. The oldest had long yellow hair and held it in place against the breeze with her pale green shawl. She always stood tall and straight, and shielded her siblings.
The oldest is Corn, the middle is the Bean Vine and the youngest is Squash. Baby sister carpets the mound with green, choking out weeds, and keeping moisture from evaporating from the ground. Middle sister fixes nitrogen into the soil so that it can be used by surrounding plants, especially her oldest sister, who is a nitrogen-greedy plant. Oldest sister gives the middle sister a strong support for her roaming vines, and these two work together to shade the babe. The harvest is rich in carbohydrates, protein, fiber and essential vitamins.
Companions: The Three Sisters is an homage to Heritage and Pass-Along gardening, to those with dirt under their nails and verdant green in their hearts.
The winners of the 2012 Outdoor Sculpture call to artists. Each sculpture was chosen based off of the strength of their proposal for a temporary installation at the Bernice Garden for one year.

When the T family contacted me for their family session on Whidbey Island Washington I already knew what location we must use! The one and only Lavender Wind Farm in Coupeville WA. It was such a perfect sunny Summer morning with a gentle breeze coming off the ocean behind us. This family was truly a delight to photograph. Gorgeous and loving inside and out. It is my sincere hope that they treasure these portraits always!
Miss Sophia's beloved Grandfather stopped in for a special portrait with his granddaughter. It was heart melting to see how this child lit up when she was with him. I am not only a sucker for Grandparent and Grandchild portraits but I highly encourage it when opportunities allow it!


It's funny really, when you think that we tend to rely on huge amounts of starch to go alongside our food. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing more soothing than a buttery pile of soft mashed potato or a plate of Carbonara, but if you have it all the time it's nice to make a change.
Lately I've been mixing it up a bit, roasting and mashing squash as an alternative to potatoes. It still fills you up, but is also soft and sweet and adds colour to your dinner.
And there's no better time to try it, as shops start to stock all these lovely squash in the autumn - pumpkins, butternut, marrows and also this one - Queen Squash. I've roasted it in a little duck fat (but you could use olive oil if you like) with sage leaves, which turn crispy in the oven. Great with roast chicken and veggies, or stirred into a risotto.
Get your oven heated up to 200ºC. Tip the prepared squash chunks onto a large, shallow roasting tray and toss with the duck fat or olive oil (I find it's best here to use your hands). Sprinkle with a good pinch of salt and scatter over the sage leaves, tucking some of them inbetween the chunks of squash. Roast for 35 minutes, giving the squash a shake a couple of times during cooking.
I've added this recipe to the Tuesday's Table link up on the Love in the Kitchen blog.

Mothers Helping Mother to expand
The Sarasota organization will nearly triple in size.
by: Brynn Mechem Staff Writer
Mothers Helping Mothers is expecting . . . a building expansion, that is.
MHM is an organization that gives mothers in need the resources necessary to help their families thrive.
After the space adjacent to MHM's storefront became available, the organization saw it as an opportunity to expand.
Since 2010, MHM has occupied a 2,400-square-foot storefront at 5933 N. Washington Blvd. However, with the donations it has received in the last few years, the organization has had to keep certain items in storage containers in the parking lot.
"We have more donations than we can literally process," said MHM board chair Cheri DeVries. "We are to the ceiling and in the parking lot with all these pods and storage facilities. This expansion gives us the space to do proper storage to protect the donations that are given."
The organization signed a lease with the landlord two weeks ago. After the landlord makes renovations to the property, Mothers Helping Mothers will expand into the 8,000-square-foot adjacent space, tripling the size of its operation.
In addition to making the free renovations, the landlord is allowing MHM one year to raise the funds necessary — $650,000 — to buy the property, where DeVries said the group will be able to expand its services.
"Mothers is there to bridge the gap of poverty. To do that, it's not just to provide them with free goods and services, it's really to figure out what resources they need," she said.
"We'll lift the burden of financial stuff with shoes and clothes, but once we do that, what can we really do to help them become self-sufficient?"
The answer, DeVries said, is partnering with other community organizations to provide tutors, group sessions and child-care lessons.
"We really want to be a resource umbrella for all organizations to participate so that we can help those moms and families rise above the poverty level," she said. "Most of them are about one catastrophe from falling through the cracks, and we help Band-aid that, but we really want to teach them skills they can use throughout their lives."
In addition to the expansion, Mothers Helping Mothers recently was awarded a grant of more than $12,000 from the Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation.
"We have a long history of board member volunteerism and involvement with the organization," said Barancik Foundation CEO and President Teri Hansen. "We have a clear understanding of their mission to have basic necessities for families and we wanted to help with operation efficiency."
The grant will go toward improving MHM's electronic software system, donation intake receptacles, vehicle expenses and car seats.
"This is one of those rare organizations that is run solely by volunteers and meets a critical community need," Hansen said.
DeVries said everything aligned, and while it is a big change, the organization is ready.
"Mothers has been around almost 30 years, but this is the biggest leap we've taken," she said.
"We've never before in the history of our organization had more clients, had more volunteers, served more families or had more financial support."
The group hopes to complete the expansion by June 1.

Seeding Mercy – Seeding Compassion to the World!
We build a community of thoughtful and entrepreneurial leaders among the economically battered communities all across South Sudan and beyond.
We provide micro loans to vulnerable people in the community particularly women and elderly to help them jump-start their income generating projects.
To become the global leader in eradicating hunger and global poverty by the root.
We empower communities to create sustainable systems designed to end hunger by providing the required resources and training needed to establish an abundant source of food, health and wealth.
Millions of people in East Africa are experiencing chronic hunger and the threat of famine.
Some countries in Africa have constantly been food insecure. The continent is largely fed by over 75% rural poor, majority women, who produce food for themselves and their countries. This phenomenon is equally similar across Sub-Saharan Africa where 250 million people are under acute malnutrition, hunger and the resultant diseases. These struggling sections of the society have lived in a cycle of rural poverty for decades without means in sight to breaking this cycle of poverty. These are the neglected majority in a world of plenty.
This is where Seeding Mercy comes in. A non-profit organization aimed at solving this endemic hungry crisis starting in South Sudan, through innovative rural farming strategy, so that people who are acutely affected by this hunger crisis would once and for all find food which they themselves produce and sustain. We are motivated by our innovation strategies to bringing this life-threatening hunger crisis rampaging South Sudan and other African Countries to a successful ending.
Millions of people in East Africa are experiencing chronic hunger and the threat of famine. Conflict, recurring severe drought, and high food prices are to blame. People are starving to death — right now.
South Sudan, Somalia, and Ethiopia could be facing famine or catastrophic levels of food insecurity in various parts of their countries over the next few months. Up to 16 million people in East Africa need help to secure their livelihoods and acquire adequate food. 9 million children are in need of nutrition assistance.
Recurring East Africa droughts make it difficult for farmers and herders to produce crops and feed livestock. While seasonal rains that exist in June and July have been plentiful in some places, excessive amounts of rain falling on drought-stricken land have resulted in flash floods, killing more than 300 people and washing away crops and shelters.
Children are worst hit, with their health and development drastically impacted. More than 15 million children in Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, and Somalia are struggling to get enough to eat. Floods are increasing the risk of cholera and other waterborne diseases among people with temporary shelter and poor sanitation. Seeding Mercy Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization is stepping to help eradicate this persisting hunger during our lifetime.
Learn about our accomplishments and follow our work every day, each month.
We would love to connect with you and hear how everything is going with you. Kindly leave your details here and we will be in touch soon.

Trope, Dialogue, Truth in Television, Full Name Ultimatum
Full Name Ultimatum
Fran: Earl Sneed Sinclair!
Earl: Oh God, my whole name.
Emma: They hardly ever hear all three of their names, so it kind of puts them off balance
Brent: Mentally?
Emma: Exactly.
—Corner Gas
In sitcoms, you can tell a parent, usually the mother, is really mad at their kid when they call for them by their full name. Often serves as a good way of telling the audience the character's full name right away. If they just use first and last name it's not as big an issue, but if the middle name is included, look out--in fact, the more nicknames you have, you can gauge the amount of trouble you're in by the number of middle names used. And while it may seem intimidating to have one's full name yelled by a parent, the time you REALLY know you're in trouble is when they don't shout it, but instead say it in a soft, (barely) restrained voice.
This frequently happens when said parent finds out about the Zany Scheme the kids have been cooking up behind his or her back, either before or after the scheme has been attempted. In this case, it's usually followed by something like, "What are you up to this time?"
Can also be used on any guy by his annoyed or angry significant other, be it wife, fiancée, or girlfriend. For added punch, it can also be said With! Emphasis! On! Each! Word! OF THE NAME!
Frequently employed by Real Life parents.
A milder version involves a character's full first name being used when they're more commonly known by a diminutive form or a nickname. Or, another version is the Loud Last Name, where a friend or family member shouts the LAST name of the character when they are clearly on first-name terms.
This only works if the person it is being used on isn't used to being called by their whole name, thus those on a Full-Name Basis won't feel as much of an effect, since they're always called that anyways.
Compare First Name Ultimatum and Loud Last Name. Occasionally used to expose an Embarrassing Middle Name.
Examples of Full Name Ultimatum include:
A cell phone company had an ad for a particular plan on the air a few years ago (a plan, presumably, that made it easier for talkative teenagers not to go over their limits) that involved various parents finding enormous phone bills and yelling out their children's full names. These started out as more mainstream American names, then hopped through a series of names from other cultural backgrounds, finishing up with a hippie mom yelling something like, "Sunshine Moonbeam Buttercup Smith!"
In One Piece, Robin calls Luffy by his full name when reminding him of his forcing her to live when she was willing to die. Usopp also does this when he challenges Luffy to a duel over the Going Merry after leaving the crew.
The Big O: "R. Dorothy Wainwright!"
The Major uses the full name when he talks about his Worthy Opponent: Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing.
In Nabari no Ou, Raikou normally just calls Yukimi "sempai", but when he points his gun at Gau...
Raikou: Kairoushuu executive branch group leader Yukimi Kazuhiko--! I swear on my sword that I will destroy you!
In the first Tiger and Bunny audio drama, Tomoe refers to Kotetsu by his full name - Mysterious Middle Initial and all - in order to show her displeasure at his borderline-delinquent antics. After Kotetsu saves her from a warehouse explosion and she gets to know him better, Tomoe switches to a First-Name Basis for entirely practical and non-romantic reasons. It's not like she likes him or anything.
In Gundam Seed, Lacus combines this with Full Name Ultimatum.
Lacus Clyne:' You should kill me now, Athrun Zala, soldier of ZAFT.
Dennis Mitchell would often be called by his full name by Margaret whenever she was angry at him.
Virgil Ovid Hawkins gets this from his sister sometimes.
The Punisher has been known to do this to his intended victims.
Batwoman: Kate has shut herself up in her base after The Reveal, and her father is pleading her to let him so they can talk. As he delivers the Full Name Ultimatum, it shifts into the past mid-sentence, with Kate's mother finishing the line to a sulking Kate and her late twin sister.
"Katherine Rebecca Kane, you open this door right now, or so help me this really will turn into your worst birthdays ever!"
The Human Torch's full name is Jonathan Spencer Storm. It is generally only heard from Sue when Johnny makes a very big mistake.
Lampshaded in Foundations, when Harry is angry because one of Draco's peacocks bit him.
Harry: Draco Malfoy!
Draco: What did I do?
Harry: Why do you assume you've done something?
Draco: Because you full-named me. My mother only full-names me when I've done something wrong.
In general the Full Name Ultimatum in Death Note fanfic I Won't Say carries deadly consequences particularly for the likes of Mihael Keehl, Nate River, and L Lawliet.
In Reconciliation, Lilly gives this to Hanako when she suggests that she only kept the chess set around as a reminder of "how awful (she) was" for exploding at Hisao and isolating herself from him and Lilly
Lilly:"Don't you ever… EVER… say that. You are NOT, nor have you EVER BEEN an awful person, Hanako Ikezawa. We kept it as a reminder because we MISSED YOU."
In Weekend At Hisaos, Misha gives this to Hisao when she's calling him to find out more about his argument with Shizune. It's one of the few times she addresses him by his proper name, instead of "Hicchan".
Misha: "AND IF YOU HANG UP ON ME, I SWEAR I WILL FIND YOU AND KILL YOU, HISAO NAKAI!"
Similar situation, with shorter names but titles, in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones:
Dooku: Master Yoda.
Yoda: Count Dooku.
(Not recognizing him as a former Jedi?)
Wanted to prick him rather.
Jenna from Balto yells at Kodi using his full name after he doesn't go with Balto to help save Duke because Kodi doesn't care about Duke's life. Since Kodi's a dog, he doesn't have a middle or last name, so she uses his full real name in the same fashion, Kodiak. Added embarassment because its directly in front of his friends.
"Harry Osborn!" (Uttered by Aunt May in the first movie, after Harry blows up at Mary-Jane.)
In Treasure Planet, by Jim's mother, though for mild exasperation as well as admonishment.
In Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 2, though awkwardly, to tell the audience what Harry's son's name is.
Literary example: In Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred Taylor, the only time anyone refers to Little Man by his real name, Clayton Chester, is when he is in deep doodoo.
Mark Twain wrote: "Then she called me by my entire name, Samuel Langhorne Clemens -- probably the first time I had ever heard it all strung together in one procession -- and said she was ashamed of me. I was to learn later that when a teacher calls a boy by his entire name it means trouble." (Quoted in Mark Twain's Book for Bad Boys and Girls by R. Kent Rasmussen.)
And in Mark Twain's famous book Tom Sawyer, the title character knows he's in trouble whenever the schoolmaster refers to him as "Thomas".
In the Mercy Thompson novel Bone Crossed, Mercy is confronted by her mother.
"Mercedes Athena Thompson," snapped my mother. "Explain to me why I had to learn about what happened to you from a newspaper."
I'd avoided meeting her gaze, but once she three-named me, I had no choice.
In Tithe by Holly Black, knowing and using a faerie's full name forces them to obey you. As such, full names are a closely guarded secret among faeries. A major plot point involves the full name of the male love interest, the faerie knight Roiben. Apparently, either this does not apply to the pixie female protagonist Kate Fierch, or we're never told the character's real full name (it's not clear which).
Who could forget Hermione's: "You-complete-arse-Ronald-Weasley!"
Then the aforementioned remark was followed by Hermione screeching: "Don't you tell me what to do, Harry Potter!" when Harry tries to calm her down.
Then there's McGonagall shouting Harry's name at him after his broomstick stunt in his first month at Hogwarts. Harry thought he was going to be caned or expelled. McGonagall made him a Quidditch Seeker.
Middle names in Harry Potter only seem to come up on legal documents. Legal documents only seem to come up when characters are in trouble with the Ministry, which is pretty serious.
Or during the reading of a will, which is serious, but not in the same way.
Lord Peter Wimsey's nephew, St George, once gets into trouble and ends up in hospital. While there, he receives a letter from Wimsey. He nervously asks how it starts: with the usual nickname or with his real name. The letter not only opens with his full name, but ends with Lord Peter's full name including middle names. St George winces and and says that his uncle must really be angry this time.
In The Dresden Files, a partial version of this is employed when Harry meets Ferrovax in Grave Peril. Ferrovax, using only part of Harry's True Name, brings him to his knees. This was meant to show just how powerful Ferrovax was.
A complete version is used by Uriel in Ghost Story, to discourage Harry from exercising his usual status as The Nicknamer. Or at least to get him to use a different nickname.
In The Baby Sitters Club Series, Stacey McGill knew she was in trouble with her parents when they called her "Anastasia"; when they called her by her full name (Anastasia Elizabeth McGill), it was time to do some serious apologizing.
Toward the end of Storm Breaking, Solaris tells off "Tremane Gyfarr Pendleson of Lynnai".
In Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, Grandma calls Peter by his full name, Peter Warren Hatcher, when he asks if his turtle survived being swallowed alive by his little brother.
In Animorphs, the first time Jake decides to put his foot down and INSIST Ax follow his "Prince's" orders, despite Ax's protests, he uses Ax's full Andalite name; usually, the human characters don't refer to him as anything other than just "Ax".
The introduction to the first A to Z Mysteries book says Dink's mom calls him "Donald David Duncan" when she's upset.
Clarissa Explains It All, where Clarissa's mom called her "Clarissa Marie Darling" when provoked.
Clarissa: Uh-oh: she used the three-name call.
Star Trek the Original Series: "I, Mudd". Harry Mudd's fate is to be stranded with five hundred replicas of his estranged wife who close in on him shouting, "Harcourt Fenton Mudd, you miserable sot!"
Really cruel and unusual punishment, you would think that the Federation has rules against that...
Star Trek the Next Generation has an episode where four characters are regressed to about twelve years old. When Chief O'Brien gets very awkward around his now adolescent wife, she yanks him down by the collar to her eye level with the statement "Miles Edward O'Brien, I am STILL your wife!"
In one episode of Deep Space Nine, he subverts Rousing Speech after a Jem'hadar First has given his troops the standard "We are dead," "Victory is life," etc. speech with "I am chief Miles Edward O'Brien, I am very much alive, and I intend to stay that way."
Lampshaded in Friends, "The One with the Cheesecake":
Phoebe: Joseph Francis Tribbiani!
Joey: Woah, woah, what are you middle-naming me for?
In "The One Where Ross Can Flirt," Rachel borrows some earrings from Phoebe and tries (badly) to hide the fact that she's lost one. Phoebe says, "Rachel Karen Green, where's the other earring!?"
On Corner Gas, two characters are failing to control a coworker's small child, and finally call in one of the characters' mothers, who promptly puts the kid in line with a Full Name Ultimatum. The Aesop being? It can scare anyone.
Combined with the fact that Emma can scare anyone.
Scrubs parodies this when Dr. Cox uses it on his ex-wife: "Jordan Godzilla Sullivan!"
Not to mention Carla saying Turk's full name:
Carla: Christopher Duncan Turk!
Turk: Christopher? You only call me Christopher when you're mad or... when we're having sex. Baby, are you mad when we're having sex?
Carla: Sometimes.
Parodied in How I Met Your Mother: Barney uses the fake Full Name Ultimatum "Ted Vivian Mosby!" Ted immediately says it's not his real name. Later in the episode, we find out his real middle name is Evelyn.
Which is actually much worse, considering that Vyvyan is a really kickass name.
Humourously treated on This is Wonderland, when defense attorney James Ryder is trying to get his client's attention: "Alan Gold, sexual assault!"
Ellen calling Jo 'Joanna Beth Harvelle' on Supernatural.
In her first appearance as a regular on Mystery Science Theater 3000, Pearl Forrester chides Dr. Forrester this way: "CLAYTON. DEBORAH. SUSAN. FORRESTER."
Spike realizes that Buffy's umpteenth break-up with him is the real deal when she ends it with "I'm sorry... William."
Inverted by Stephen Colbert, who said on Letterman that his mother had trouble remembering their names (he had ten siblings):
"You'd be doing something you weren't supposed to do and she would go, 'Jimmyenniebibbynommy [unintelligible]... Number eleven!'"
Not an ultimatum, but in an unguarded moment between our two favourite FBI agents...
Dana Scully: Fox...
Fox Mulder: ... Even my parents call me Mulder.
The League of Gentlemen: "Don't you do it, Hilary Briss!"
Lampshaded in Charmed.
Piper: WYATT MATTHEW HALLIWELL!!!
Leo: I've never heard you use his middle name before.
Piper: I've never been this mad at him before.
In a very rare moment of drama in Jeeves and Wooster, the first scene delivers our protagonist's name thusly:
Sir Watkyn Bassett: I find you guilty as charged, Bertram... Wilberforce... Wooster!
Home Improvement has Jill do this to Randy ("Randall William Taylor"), followed by Tim saying to Mark, "Uh-oh. The middle name. He's in trouble now." He's not the only one, though. Brad and Mark aren't immune from this, either.
Played with in Never Mind the Buzzcocks:
Ed: I love that you called him "Snoop Doggy Dogg"... It's Snoop Dogg. The only person who'd call him Snoop Doggy Dogg is his mother and then only when he's in trouble... "Snoop Doggy Dogg! Clean these hoes out of your bedroom!"
A rare subversion occurs in Gossip Girl. Lily, Chuck's adoptive mother, is the only person who calls him Charles on a regular basis. She only calls him Chuck when voicing disapproval or adressing his more deviant qualities.
Full House: D.J. Tanner is only called "Donna Jo" in this kind of occasion. But once, this exchange happened:
D.J.: Give it back, Stephanie Judy Tanner.
Steph: Don't even dream of it, Donna Jo Margaret Tanner.
Uncle Jesse, to Joey:: Margaret?
From Reba: "Kyra Eleanor Hart, out!"
Lampshaded a bit on Murphy Brown: Murphy chooses a name for her baby (Avery, after her mother), and Eldin asks what the child's middle name will be, because "How will you know what to call him when you're mad at him?"
Because of this trope, we know when Rory Joseph Hennessy from 8 Simple Rules is in trouble for misbehaving (or about to be if he doesn't restrain himself).
On Hanginwith Mr. Cooper, Mark gets fully called out by Geneva, who he compares to his aunties back when he was a kid.
Used in more than one episode of Dinosaurs, as quoted above.
Played for Laughs on The Stephanie Miller Show. When Stephanie or one of the other mooks says something inappropriate (well, more inappropriate than usual), Chris Lavoie will often shout out their full name, along with the middle name "Louise," regardless of their actual middle name. "Stephanie Louise Miller!" and "Jim Louise Ward!" are by far the most commonly heard ones, though "Hal Louise Sparks!" shows up much more frequently than one would think.
At one point in Escape from Monkey Island, an exasperated Elaine refers to Guybrush as "Guybrush Ulysses Threepwood". Given his tendency to be shipwrecked, that also counts as a prophetic name.
In the seventh case of the Ben Jordan - Paranormal Investigator series, Ben's mother calls him "Benjamin Horatio Jordan" after a family argument.
The Sam and Max Freelance Police episode Ice Station Santa is the only time we hear the full name of the rat Jimmy Two-teeth ("James Tiberius Two-teeth!") -- when his wife has enough of him and leaves.
Guaranteed to occur at least once (with the reality being closer to "every time you fight a significant villain") in any given Super Robot Wars title.
Parodied in Strong Bads Cool Game for Attractive People: Homestar Ruiner:
Strong Bad: Strong Sad Raymond Jenkins, you open this door right now or I'll— I'll— I'll..!
In the Homestar Runner cartoon "Halloween Potion-Ma-Jig", Homestar's on-again-off-again girlfriend Marzipan calls him "Homestar Michael Runner" upon discovering Homestar has drawn ducks and bugs all over her Halloween potion recipe.
The warship of the protagonists of Schlock Mercenary mentions this when they take the IT calls itself into an abbreviation, and that into the name "petey", as seen here.
Charlie gets one from her mother in Khaos Komix. "CHARLIE MOONBEAM TRUEMAN!"
Tom's mother also gives him one, using his female name Maria.
"Abel Dimitri Rewanz!" in DMFA.
"Oh crap... Middle name used! This only means bad!"
And another one, which combines it with a Gilligan Cut.
In the webcomic Li'l Mell (Spinoff Babies of Narbonic), Mell's father gives her a Full Name Ultimatum -- her name is Melody Wildflower Kelly. You have to know the character to know exactly how uncharacteristic her middle name is.
This strip in Codename: Hunter.
This Questionable Content strip. Also subverted here
In Sluggy Freelance, nobody in the main cast gets called by their full name. Ever. But the "full first name" variant appears when we find out Riff's biological mother calls him Riffington.
Played with in Long Term Roomies. Sooraya's full name is Sooraya Fatima Winona Massimari Katherine Habib-Johnson resulting in her aged mother fainting from trying to say it all before getting to yell at her.
Zero Punctuation: "Shame on you, Benjamin Yahtzee Sebastian Godzilla Croshaw," spake he!
On Jimmy Neutron, Jimmy's mom would call him "James Isaac Neutron" after discovering that another of his experiments had gone awry.
In an episode of the animated series Doug, Roger has just published a mean-spirited article using Doug's full name (copied from his press pass), and Doug hasn't found out what is going on yet. First Doug's mother gives him the Full Name Ultimatum--and then he runs into the mayor, who does the same thing. This surprises Doug, since he didn't think the mayor even knew his middle name.
Slight variation in Static Shock; it's Virgil's sister who uses his full name, Virgil Ovid Hawkins (much to his embarassment, of course).
Ron Stoppable always calls Kim Possible K.P or Kim. But Evil!Ron called her Kim Possible. And later he overkilled it:
Evil!Ron: Welcome, Kimberly Anne Possible.
Kim: The middle name is so overkill.
Lampshaded on Arthur, when Arthur strikes DW in What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome? fashion.
Mrs. Read: Arthur Timothy Read, come here!
Arthur: Uh oh... middle name.
D.W. got this twice, once after a temper tantrum in a restaurant, and again in "Go to Your Room, D.W."
Mrs. Read: Dora Winifred Read, go to your room.
D.W.: But what did I do?
In Pepper Ann it happens to both Pepper Ann AND her sister Moose.
Pepper Ann's Mom: Margaret Rose Pearson! Pepper Ann Pearson!
Of course, Pepper Ann always uses her middle name anyway...
In Sonic SatAM, an angry Sally often calls the title character "Sonic Hedgehog". This raises the question of why he insists on having "The" before his last name...
Perhaps "The" is his middle name, à la Kermit The Frog?
If you go by the comics, it's actually Ogilvie Maurice Hedgehog.
A particularly over-the-top example is in El Tigre: Manny's full name is Manuel Pablo Gutierrez O'Brian Equihua Rivera.
It should be noted that "Guitierrez" and "Equihua" are the last names of series creators Jorge Guitierrez and Sandra Equihua.
At least two episodes of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3 had King Koopa being given an ultimatum addressing him as Bowser Koopa; this was notably the only way the character was referred to by his actual name in the cartoons.
Though, depending on what country you live in, Koopa IS his actual name.
Their is a whole episode about this in Recess where most of the characters are trying to figure out TJ's full name.
Family Guy: Christopher Cross Griffin! That's right, they named him after the guy who sang the Arthur theme and "Sailing."
Also let's not forget "Stewart Gilligan Griffin" but he was calling himself that as a rallying call so 50-50
In The Flintstones, Wilma does this to Fred when she especially loses patience with him. However, it's a bit of a subversion since she just uses "Fred Flintstone".
This is the go to saying of Rath from Ben 10 Alien Force and Ultimate Alien. It goes "Lemme tell you something (insert full name or full title of person here, followed by threat of violence)
Benjamin Kirby Tennyson!
Bartholomew J Simpson!
On Archer, Malory Archer seems to love yelling Sterling's full name at him. Just a sample of how screwed up their mother-son relationship is, his full name is Sterling Malory Archer.
My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic: Used by Princess Celestia in the episode "Lesson Zero". Though she commonly calls Twilight Sparkle by her full name, the tone she says it in, definitely constitutes as a full name ultimatum.
According to Pinkie Pie's flashback in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles", Pinkie's full name is 'Pinkamina Diane Pie'.

Title IX: Explaining the landmark civil rights law
Title IX, the landmark civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination at educational institutions that receive money from the United States Department of Education, turns 50 this June.
On June 23, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 will turn 50. The landmark civil rights law's famous first 37 words prohibit sex-based discrimination at educational institutions that receive money from the United States Department of Education. Those institutions include more than 5,000 colleges, universities, vocational schools, and trade schools, along with more than 17,000 local school districts.
Title IX, as the law is more commonly called, is widely known for its strides toward gender equity for women and girls who play sports. However, the law also protects students from sex-based discrimination in other areas, including:
Sexual harassment, assault, and violence
Treatment of pregnant or parenting students
Treatment of LGBTQI+ students
There have been amendments to the law since its passing in 1972. Among the most recent changes, a federal judge struck down Trump-era provisions of Title IX that required accusers or the accused in sexual assault grievances to be cross-examined to make their cases. The Biden Administration has announced that it will propose more amendments to Title IX by April 2022.
ABC Owned Television Stations and ABC's Localish present 50 inspiring stories from around the country for Fifty/50, as part of The Walt Disney Company's monumental initiative highlighting the 50th anniversary of the passing of Title IX, the federal civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in any educational institution that receives federal funding, and gave women the equal opportunity to play.
The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of ESPN, Localish and this station.

OK, I facebook lived the presser since today isn't a work day. Very nicely done. (Also, if you like to people watch, don't go to the big Facebook Live map that shows all of them around the world and peek in on some guys drinking, smoking hookah and listening to music on the North Coast of Turkey)
So, there wasn't any big, big news. The biggest takeaway is pretty straightforward. Coach has said since the beginning that his goal is to compete on New Year's Day and he is 100% not backing off that. He says that our expectation is to go into Big Ten stadiums and "come back with Ws."
The Michigan State game serves as a recent example of what needs to happen. In particular, he looked to the 2nd Quarter. He said the Spartans were "searching" and BG had the ball with 4 minutes left and coach told them we needed a 4-minute drive, score or not. Defense had been on the field a lot, offense had to stay on the field.
Andrew Clair got one first down and then BG had a 3rd and 6 and they called a slant and it was there (MSU secondary was searching) and Guyton dropped a perfect ball. If that's caught, he's down the field, BG gets nothing less than a FG and it is 7-6 going into the locker room. (Note: BG had a holding call on that play as well, but the overall point he was making is that if you are going to win @MSU you need to make that play happen).
Similarly, he pointed to Dirion Hutchins with a free shot on Lewerke. Hutchins is in the first half of his first game bearing down on a QB who outweighs him, doesn't wrap up...instead of 2nd-18 MSU is on schedule again. Make that sack, probably 7-3 going into halftime.
Those were his examples, to be clear. And he attributed it to a lack of "focus." Which is all well and good...the coaches need to teach that....there's only so long that remains on the players.
In short, "we let them off. Can't do it."
He showed confidence in Morgan. I know Morgan's taken a lot of heat and he certainly did not play well Saturday (my comment, not Jinks). There were other issues. He's still a young QB and I think incremental improvement is what we should expect. Saturday did not exhibit that but I haven't given up hope for him.
Coach said we didn't make the big plays but we didn't make a catastrophic mistake. Well, OK, but the only thing keeping that Pick 6 from being catastrophic is the score when it happened.
Another positive he noted was only 4 penalties for 20 yards. He did not address the ejection, though he did after the game. Says he wants the players going for the ball, not the hit.
Oh, and obviously the defense getting those turnovers is a good thing he cited as well.
Also: "Youth is not an excuse."
Also: props for Caleb Bright who stepped in unexpectedly when Taborn was injured warming up. He battled...tough assignment against a very good MSU lineman, but he battled and was fighting the whole way.
My comments from here on in. I think those are (except where noted) reasonable views. Here's the thing. I feel like we had a game plan that was ready to work. The players didn't execute. That's part of coaching, too.
I got a few comments on twitter about our coaches. My view is the same as it has been, which is that we entered an experiment when we didn't have to...but here we are. We need to see if these guys can (in Coach's own words) "get the team ready to win." We have yet to see them win a game that was a challenge and until that begins to happen, anyone is reasonable to have their doubts. Having said that, I think some people thought this was all going to happen quickly in a PJ Fleck style thing.
The expectation should be for incremental improvement this year---some proof that the coaches can get players to focus and execute and develop at this level. Win a couple tough ones. That, combined with recruiting, should provide us with success.

Schadenfreude said...
I'm surprised to hear that people are criticizing the coaches. it seemed pretty simple to me: Players didn't execute.
Orange said...
Right, but players who aren't focused and not executing can also be a coaching issue, especially with a staff with no track record to fall back on. They have yet to show they can put all the elements together. I don't think you can fairly judge them until next year but until they win a game they aren't supposed to win, there are going to be people who doubt them.


After initial training at the Institute of Electrical graduated hasn't ended, however. Its an ongoing process, especially in light of the various green energy projects across the state and nation. One of the main tasks is to prepare the electrical training to work at a safe place. All electrical training courses to teach safety. One course is dedicated to a safe workplace. Its not just a question of maintaining the electric sound working either. Electric rain takes into account that while the electrical projects completed in the retail, office or other commercial among employees of the client, can continue to work at the facility. They should be safe as well.

Citizenship Act: JNU student booked in Assam for 'seditious' remarks
Sharjeel Imam allegedly suggested that Assam should be 'cut off' from the rest of India.
Jan 25, 2020 · 04:56 pm Updated Jan 27, 2020 · 02:10 pm
Shaheen Bagh protest. | Shachi Nelli/Twitter
The Assam Police on Saturday filed a case against Jawaharlal Nehru University student Sharjeel Imam for allegedly suggesting that the state be "cut off" from the rest of India in a speech at Aligarh Muslim University on January 16. Earlier in the day, Assam minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had called Imam's alleged remarks "seditious" and said the state would file a complaint.
Additional Director General of Police GP Singh said Imam had been booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in Guwahati.
Sarma alleged that Imam's comments were aimed at disrupting the law and order situation in the state. "Assam government has taken cognisance of this very seditious statement and we will register a case against this individual," he said. "A lot of wrong things have been said by this individual, aimed to create law and order situation in Assam. We will bring this person to the court so that he is punished in accordance with the law."
During Sarma's press conference, an audio clip of Imam's purported comments was played. "Our responsibility is to cut Assam from India, then government will hear our voice," said a voice, according to Inside NE. "If we have to help Assam, then we will have to cut the Assam from rest of India."
"I was saying we should try to peacefully block roads wherever possible," Imam told The Indian Express on Sunday. "In that context, I said you have to block roads going to Assam. It was basically a call for chakka jam. They can put cases on me by editing these clips, but there is nothing that they can prove."
The PhD student has been described as the organiser of the protest at Delhi's Shaheen Bagh, which has emerged as one of the main sites of popular resistance against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the proposed National Register of Citizens. Protestors, mostly women and children, have been staging a continuous sit-in demonstration in the locality for over a month now.
On Saturday, a statement was issued by an account on Twitter that claims to represent the protestors at Shaheen Bagh, reiterating that there was no organiser of the protests, which were led by women.
The protest at Shaheen Bagh is to protect the constitutional morality of this nation.
No one individual's videos, statements or articles can represent the movement.#ShaheenBaghTruth pic.twitter.com/vldJ9V8hsD

The Citizenship Amendment Act, passed by Parliament on December 11 and notified by the Centre on January 10, provides citizenship to refugees from six minority religious communities from Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan, provided they have lived in India for six years and entered the country by December 31, 2014. The Act has been widely criticised for excluding Muslims, leading to protests against it. At least 26 people died in the protests last month – 19 in Uttar Pradesh, five in Assam and two in Karnataka.

Protests, Bangladesh and North East: Why Modi hasn't implemented CAA two years after it was passed


This Kamikaze cat had us fooled… but there's a grass ledge before the big drop!
We're obviously getting the bug for long-distance hiking because over breakfast we started thinking about other routes we'd like to tackle in the future: perhaps an end to end through Madeira (a gorgeous island that makes Wales look flat) or the Galician coast path. Or maybe a long-distance walk through Portugal… relishing in our vastly improved fitness levels and our new-found ability to swing a rucksack onto our shoulders without too much flinching, there was nowhere, no country or trail, that was too daunting to tackle.
But it was time to stop dreaming and start walking. Harri had made the momentous decision to do a detour past the ever-popular Devil's Bridge. Instead we would be crossing the Rheidol and its deep gorge at Parson's Bridge.
Fortunately for today's hikers, the current footbridge feels distinctively solid compared with its Victorian predecessor – although if you suffer from vertigo you should probably avoid looking down!.
Today's plan was to follow various sections of the Borth-Pontrhydfendigaid Linear Trail. Sadly, we were going nowhere near Borth ( a lovely seaside resort immortalised in RIchard Collins' wonderful debut novel The Land as Viewed from the Sea). Pontrhydfendigaid, on the other hand, was mostly definitely en route, being our destination for the day..
The morning's scenery was absolutely delightful but unfortunately almost the entire length of the riverside footpath was under water which distracted me somewhat from my photography duties (ultimately the very poor standard of walking resulted in Harri changing the route substantially to avoid this boggy area).
One of the highlights of the day was Cwmystwyth, which despite its diminutive size holds a very significant title. This village, the Ordnance Survey has calculated, is the geographic centre point of Wales. It might seem a little strange that the centre of the nation can be somewhere so close to the coast, but the calculations (which include Wales's islands) were made using the most preferred method and denote the point at which a cardboard cut-out of Wales could be perfectly balanced on the tip of a pencil.
Centre of Wales or not, Cwmystwyth was hardly bustling with activity; we saw no-one at all as we passed through on this deliciously warm Monday afternoon.
Historically, Cwmystwyth has been an important mining site since the Bronze Age, with silver, lead and zinc excavated at various times. The village itself probably grew up during the 18th and 19th centuries when metal mining was at its height; however, there has been no mining activity for the past century.
In 2002, a 4,000 year old gold ornament was discovered on the site of Roman and Medieval lead smelting hearths. The small funerary ornament known as the Banc Ty'nddôl sun-disc is the earliest gold artefact found in Wales.
Had we stuck to the waymarked linear trail, we'd have witnessed first-hand the ruinous effect centuries of mining workings have had on the natural landscape. The Spirit of the Miners' excellent website provides lots of information as well as a photo gallery.
After leaving Cwmystwyth, it wasn't long before we were back in woodland, this time following a footpath alongside the River Ystwyth through the wonderful Hafod estate. The estate occupies about 200 hectares of the Ystwyth Valley and was once home of Thomas Johnes (1748-1816) who laid out its considerable grounds in adherence to the 'Picturesque principles' which were so popular at the time, i.e. careful planting to contrast light and shaded areas and paths, obscuring certain areas from view to keep the observer guessing and connecting the different elements of the landscape to achieve a harmonious whole.
From the little we saw of the restored estate, the creative Johnes seems to have achieved his aims.
Harri wasn't sure if Johnes' rebuilt manor house was still standing so I left him enjoying the sunshine (and guarding the rucksacks) and set off on a brief solitary expedition of my own. There was nothing obvious to see, except a railed viewpoint so I concluded (rightly, as I later learned) that the house was no more.
We arrived at Pont-rhyd-yr-groes in the twilight zone – too early for the pub, too late for the shop.
There is no denying the scenery was beautiful – and the village had that hickledy-pickledy, lack of any kind of planning type layout that I've always loved, with houses sprouting up all over the place and little lanes meandering between them. It just would have been ever nicer if we'd been able to stop for a cold lager, or an ice-cream… even a tiptop. I don't know why we keep getting our hopes up… we should be used to the vagaries of Welsh hospitality by now.
The last 'leg' of our journey was about 7-8 miles across rolling moorland to Pontrhydfendigaid where we were planning to spend the night at the Black Lion.
After a slight disagreement with Harri over what constituted a mountain, I resigned myself to climbing another hill, silently cursing my other half for devising such an undulating route. As we came over the crest of the hill, however, I was pleased we'd come this way because the industrial landscape, with its remnants of the lead and zinc mining industry, was well worth seeing. In fact, the abandoned mine workings and bleak landscape of Esgair Mwyn very much reminded me of a California ghost town I once visited (Bodie) but without the houses (or maybe it was just the unusually cloudless sky!).
This area has long been known for its rich deposits of ore and it's likely that mining dates back to medieval times. When Esgair Mwyn was re-discovered again in 1746, a thousand tonnes of ore was raised in one year. The resuming mining activity wasn't without its problems though – a dispute between its 'discoverer' Lewis Morris (working the mine on behalf of the Crown) and local people (including two magistrates, the sheriff, his deputy and many miners) escalated to the point where bloodshed was only narrowly avoided. Ultimately, the king kept the land, but the ringleaders of the opposition were not prosecuted.
Looking at the dilapidated shacks clinging to the mountainside today, it's hard to imagine the surrounding land once evoked such passion… or produced such fortunes.
We were feeling very weary when passed through the little village of Ffair Rhos so-called because it was once the location of local fairs but at least the day's end was in sight.
Determined not to find ourselves without accommodation again, Harri had rung ahead and booked a room at the Black Lion Hotel.
After 19 miles our first priority was a drink and we soon struck up a conversation with a lone traveller, a man in his 70s who had moved to Ruthin in North Wales as a boy and had decided it was time he explored mid Wales. Like Harri, he was someone who'd learned Welsh as an adult. He was stopping for a meal so we joined him at his table… with a few bags of crisps to munch.
Our new friend (we never think to ask people's names) was a fascinating character, an academic who'd studied Latin and Green at Oxford and had maintained a strong interest in language and semantics. As he regaled us with stories past and present, one drink led to another while we grew hungrier and hungrier.
It's evenings like this, talking with people and hearing their stories, that we'll remember long after the memories of waterlogged footpaths and tough climbs have faded.
Harri was never really happy with the footpaths along the Borth-Pontrhydfendigaid Linear Trail and so he made the decision to return to Mid Wales and change today's route so that it avoids these boggy sections.
On a happier note, the revised route means O Fôn i Fynwy walkers now get to visit Devil's Bridge and will see a lot more of the wonderful Hafod Estate.

It looks like a reboot of the popular horror franchise, "Scream," will be finally heading to MTV next October. After much talk about the possibility of a series based on the Kevin Williamson/Wes Craven films, the official pilot order came last April. Now an announcement has been made by MTV that its first ten-episode season will be premiering in October 2015.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series will star Willa Fitzgerald as Emma Duvall, Bex Taylor Klaus as Audrey, John Karna as Noah Foster, Connor Weil as Will, Amadeus Serafini as Kieran Wilcox, Carlson Young as Brooke Maddox, Tracey Middendorf as Maggie and Joel Gretsch as Sheriff Clark Hudson. "Scream" director, Wes Craven will serve as executive producer, along with Harvey and Bob Weinstein, Tony DiSanto, Liz Gateley, Marianne Maddalena, Cathy Konrad and show runner Jill Blotevogel. There's no word on the exact plot yet but we're sure there will be some chasing, knives, blood and overall mayhem.
You can click here for the cryptic tweet MTV put out yesterday before the announcement or call (310) 461-4299 for a message from Ghostface himself. So what do you guys think about the resurrection of Ghostface or was four films enough? Might he do well on the small screen? We'll keep you posted on any new developments.

Q: Deleting list of files with non-standard file names I have recently had to rescue files from a bad HDD, and am in the middle of cleaning up the mess. Currently I'm using a duplicate cleaner to delete any restored files that have duplicates on my backup. I'm comparing contents, not file names as file names are mostly generated by the rescue program.
Unfortunately, some of the files I need to delete are given file names that contain all sorts of characters like %, @, ; and other stuff that causes issues. My dupechecker gets stuck when trying to delete the files, showing no progress for hours trying to discover items to delete.
So I exported the list of files to delete and turned to Powershell to delete them. It deletes some, but soon fails when it encounters disruptive characters in file names.
My Powershell command:
Get-Content d:\dupelist3.txt | Remove-Item

An excerpt of the file list (added CR to improve readability):

G:\HE12 #2 recovery EaseUS\Recovered data 09-06 09_23_00\1 HE12 2 (F)
  NTFS\Other lost
  files---[100%]--[All-files-CRC-OK]--[16-files]-
"G:\HE12 #2 recovery EaseUS\Recovered data 09-06 09_23_00\1 HE12 2 (F)
  NTFS\Other lost files\FTP_SERVER.LOG;6"
"G:\HE12 #2 recovery EaseUS\Recovered data 09-06 09_23_00\1 HE12 2 (F)
  NTFS\Other lost files\GOPHER.$5516417292;1"
"G:\HE12 #2 recovery EaseUS\Recovered data 09-06 09_23_00\1 HE12 2 (F)

"G:\HE12 #2 recovery EaseUS\Recovered data 09-06 09_23_00\1 HE12 2 (F)
  NTFS\Other lost files\TELNET.LOG;1"

The file list was originally a csv file which I handled using Excel to extract only the path and filenames from the export of my dupechecker. Thus some file references were encapsulated in double quotes when exporting the (tab delimited) text file from Excel. I notice how the first item in the list over is represented wrongly in this post, as there should be a backslash after "Other lost files" and before the three following dashes. Guess that illustrates the issue somehow :)
So my question is; how can I delete all the files in my list given the complications at hand? Manual manipulation won't work as there are 100k+ files in the list, and I have multiple lists.
I'm open to using other tools as long as they get the job done...
Best regards,
Steinar

A: You could try
Get-Content d:\dupelist3.txt | % {Remove-Item -LiteralPath $_ -WhatIf}

Remove the -WhatIf to actually execute

-LiteralPath  Specifies a path to one or more locations. The value of LiteralPath is used exactly as it is typed. No characters are
  interpreted as wildcards. If the path includes escape characters,
  enclose it in single quotation marks. Single quotation marks tell
  PowerShell not to interpret any characters as escape sequences

A: If you can attack it with wildcards, you might find this useful. Tested with some pretty odd characters that all seem to work. I added Set-Location to avoid running in the wrong folder. Remove -WhatIf when ready for prime time.
Set-Location 'D:\Trashcan'
$junk = '*.@@@', '*;*', 'trash[0-9].log'
$files = get-childitem * -include $junk -recurse
$files | Remove-Item -WhatIf
$files.count

I use a similar script to clean up a set of folders that routinely collects files I don't want.

Q: Docker client API version issue I run 'docker version', which gives:
> docker version
Client: Docker Engine - Community
 Version:           19.03.8
 API version:       1.40

As it tells, client API version is 1.40.
But when I am trying to run a docker-compose command, I get error as:
> docker-compose up
ERROR: client version 1.22 is too old. Minimum supported API version is 1.24, please upgrade your client to a newer version

Why this message, when client API version is 1.40?
Edit: I updated docker-compose.
>docker-compose version
docker-compose version 1.25.5, build unknown
docker-py version: 4.2.0
CPython version: 3.7.4
OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 1.1.1c  28 May 2019

But I still see same issue:
>docker-compose up
ERROR: client version 1.22 is too old. Minimum supported API version is 1.24, please upgrade your client to a newer version

A: docker and docker-compose are installed as separate binaries. Please check and upgrade docker-compose on your system
Eg, on my system:
 ~  docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.25.4, build 8d51620a
 ~  docker --version
Docker version 19.03.8, build afacb8b

A: As it turns out, "version" in docker-copose.yml is the reason for error. It was 2 for me, and I changed it to 2.1. Now it works.

Q: Custom Process Library Blocks in AnyLogic it is possible in a wait block to change the inside queue behaviour?
Instead that the element saves agents in a standard queue it save in a HashMap so the code in the event handlers can performs search with a lower code complexity?
The solution that I have found is to slide, with an iterator, all the elements inside the queue but with a HashMap is much quicker to find if a particular agent is present or not. I wouldn't place global HashMap variables in the onStartup event handler of the main agent.

A: I think you misunderstood what I said on the other question. You do not change the queue behavior of the Wait block. You simply add a Collection of type HashMap (or LinkedHashMap) to assist you in information management. That Collection will have the key ID and the object Agent because searching a  structure is more efficient than searching the Anylogic Wait Process Modelling Library element.
If you do not want to create a collection for each Wait block, what you can do is create a custom element using a new Agent.
For that you create a new Agent type and in that Agent you place an In Port and an Out Port as entering and exiting points. Than you place a Wait block and a collection of type HashMap to store info. You will have to also create some parameters to input information (other Departments in which you need to check if the order is already present, etc.). This is more advanced Anylogic utilization and perhaps confuse to the beginner so I wouldn't recommend stepping into it without getting familiar with Anylogic.

The problem is that ocamlc.opt is linked (of course) with the native runtime, and this runtime does not expose caml_debugger_* symbols.
Link the DLL without an entry point. Since it is explicitly opened by ocamlrun through flexdll, the relocation will be done explicitly.
In "RTLD_NOEXEC" mode, set FLEXDLL_RELOCATE=0 (instead of &flexdll_relocate) to tell the entry point not to trigger the relocation.
Also, note that this only affects the Cygwin port, not other Windows ports (which go though LoadLibraryEx and pass some flag which disable the execution of the DLL entry point).
I still get the same error when trying now to use ocaml 4.04 on cygwin64. When can I expect the fixes to flexdll reach the official cygwin distribution? Can I compile flexdll myself and replace the current cygwin flexdll (v.034) in the mean time?
I can confirm that this is fixed with FlexDLL 0.35. I built FlexDLL from source 1 and replaced the one distributed by Cygwin.
Now, I'm actually not sure if this was broken due to FlexDLL, because there seems to be an issue with Cygwin packaging of OCaml. I tried to package OCaml 4.04, and got the error in this issue. The cygport packaging tool was stripping dllunix.so, presumably removing bytecode. I had to add RESTRICT=strip to the .cygport file to prevent this.
FYI I package OCaml, Camlp4, OPAM, and now FlexDLL, as Cygwin packages for use in Lwt's AppVeyor builds 2. If interested, I can adapt these packages and release to Cygwin's public repository.
Thanks for your help, I will compile flexdll 0.35 and give it a try with ocaml 4.04. Of course it would be great if there will be an official release soon also, I have no knowledge who is the cygwin maintainer for ocaml/flexdll though.
I will email the Cygwin mailing list later today. If anyone here has info on this, would be interested to know as well.
FlexDLL 0.35 is now installable via Cygwin setup, both on x86 and x86_64. Package submitted by Yaakov Selkowitz.

One of the most effective ways to drive customers into your store quickly is to create a sense of urgency in your marketing. Urgency is not necessarily just promoting a limited time or limited stock, but it is more about generating the sense of need from your customers.
In order to get customers to feel that they must urgently come to your business, you need to convince them that they need to come right now.
Here are some ways to build urgency within your marketing.
2. What you are advertising is attractive: If you are marketing a product that is not appealing to customers, it is harder to convince them to come in and see you. Remember that urgency is building the feeling of needing a product now, not creating a desire for the product.
3. Numbers: The use of numbers in marketing is more attention grabbing since customers will look to see what a cost or discount is. An example of this is "For 2 Days Only" or "20% off your purchase today only." It is harder to ignore numbers when mixed into your advertising.
4. Watch the colors: Using the right colors can also build urgency for your customers. Cool colors, such as green and blue, are calming and will not build a kind of urgency to drive customers to you. Instead, warmer colors, such as red and orange, naturally will build impatience and anxiety to come to your store.
5. Countdown timers: For online marketing, you can have a countdown timer either on your landing page or even one that starts when a customer adds an item to an online shopping cart. The customer will then feel a sense of urgency and the need to close the sale immediately. To prepare for if the timer times out and the customer has yet to check out, use our abandoned cart recovery tips to encourage them to complete the purchase.

MEDIA SILENT AS FED COMMITTEE QUIETLY PASSES ACT ALLOWING WARRANTLESS SEARCHES
November 20, 2017 in Government, New World Order, News by Ken
BY RACHEL BLEVINS
It has been over one month since the latest dangerous piece of legislation meant to infringe on Americans' constitutional rights was introduced, and Congress is now moving forward with the bill that will have serious ramifications for all Americans by blatantly violating the freedoms guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment if it becomes law.
The USA Liberty Act has passed the House Judiciary Committee by a vote of 27-8, and as Congressman Justin Amash noted, all privacy advocates should be concerned about the overwhelming support the bill is receiving from Congress.
"The Liberty Act passed committee 27-8. It allows the government to search our private data without a warrant—in violation of the 4th Amendment," Amash wrote on Twitter. "It's another bill, like the Freedom Act, that furthers violations of our rights under the guise of protecting our rights."

✔@justinamash
The #LibertyAct passed committee 27-8. It allows the government to search our private data without a warrant—in violation of the #4thAmendment. It's another bill, like the #FreedomAct, that furthers violations of our rights under the guise of protecting our rights.

As Amash implied, the USA Liberty Act provides the opposite of "Liberty" for Americans. Instead, the purpose of the bill is to reauthorize and create additional loopholes for Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which is set to expire on Dec. 31, 2017.
Amash also noted that the USA Liberty Act is yet another piece of legislation that "furthers violations of our rights under the guise of protecting our rights." He compared it to the USA Freedom Act, which was passed under similar circumstances in June 2015.
The House Judiciary has also tried to use the USA Freedom Act as a reference to its success, claiming that the bill "ended the bulk collection of data, protected civil liberties and national security, and provided robust oversight and transparency of our vital national security tools."
However, as The Free Thought Project reported in May 2015, the USA Freedom Act "doesn't actually end or suspend the phone records program, but simply requires phone companies to hold onto these records rather than the NSA." It also authorized, for the first time, "the NSA, FBI, and other government agencies to unconstitutionally collect data in bulk on potentially millions of law-abiding Americans," and it let the NSA collect "cell phone records in addition to the landline call records."
Now, as Congress prepares to pass the USA Liberty Act, it claims the bill will "better protect Americans' privacy" by requiring the government to have "a legitimate national security purpose" before searching an individual's database. But what the bill does not advertise is the fact that it does not actually address the legitimate problems that exist with Section 702. The FBI's "legitimate national security purpose" could be justified by just about any reason the agency chooses to give, and agents will only need supervisory authority in order to search Americans' metadata.
Weeks before the latest vote, more than 40 organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Freedom of the Press Foundation, joined together in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee, condemning the USA Liberty Act.
The coalition noted that the bill fails to address concerns with the "backdoor search loophole," which allows the government to "conduct warrantless searches for the information of individuals who are not targets of Section 702, including U.S. citizens and residents."
The USA Liberty Act departs from the recommendation made by the President's Review Group on Surveillance, appropriations amendments that have previously passed the House, and urgings of civil society organizations, which would have required a probable cause warrant prior to searching the Section 702 database for information about a U.S. citizen or resident absent narrow exceptions. As written, it raises several concerns. First, the bill's most glaring deficiency is that it does not require a warrant to access content in cases where the primary purpose is to return foreign intelligence. This is an exception that threatens to swallow the rule.
A legislative analysis from the Electronic Freedom Foundation noted that the USA Liberty Act does not "institute adequate transparency and oversight measures," it does not "deal with misuse of the state secrets privilege, which has been invoked to stave off lawsuits against mass surveillance," and most importantly, it will not "curtail the NSA's practices of collecting data on innocent people."
The science surrounding the USA Liberty Act is nothing new—from the time the USA Patriot Act was passed on fear-based propaganda in 2001, the United States government has used trendy names such as "Freedom" and "Liberty" as an appeal, while working with the mainstream media to politicize any and every tragic attack, in order to convince the American public that they must give up their liberties, in order to ensure temporary security.

The Foot Soldiers
Biswajeet Banerjee July 10, 2012 May 31, 2013
The other day Tim Sullivan, Chief of the South-Asian bureau of Associated Press, asked me What Rahul Gandhi does for his living. The question blew at my face. I never gave it a thought as what exactly Rahul Gandhi or any other leader does for his living.
"No, how he runs his house? How he pays his kitchen bill?," Tim tried to make it more simple realising probably I was not ready for this question.
Rahul Gandhi"s name was a metaphor. What Tim wanted to know what Indian politicians do for their living?
"Nothing", I replied. "He is Member of Parliament and gets stipend (around Rs 12,000 per month) and other expenses," I said
When I said this I reminded one young Congress leader an energetic chap Vishwanath Chaturvedi "Mohan" whom I met almost a decade and half back when I was a cub reporter covering Lucknow University and allied colleges. "Mohan" was a young student leader of a degree college. He was not a brilliant student but had managed to get a law degree.
The same question I had asked him once when I met him outside Congress office. Sipping tea I just said how he makes his both ends meet. "From where you get money"?, was my laconic query.
"I get it from my father. He sends me money every month. Without his support I would have died by this time," he said giving a hearty laugh showing his paan-stained teeth.
Mohan later made headlines when he filed Disproportionate Asset case against Mulayam Singh Yadav in the Supreme Court. The case is still on.
He had told me the agony of foot soldiers of the political parties. Majority of these "karyakartas", when join political parties, are unemployed. They are forced to spend money from their own pockets. Sometimes they get support from their parents while sometimes they borrow money from their friends. He cited a case of a "dedicated" party soldier who was forced to sell of his ancestral farmland to pay his debts.
"No political party pays a penny to its "karyakarta". He has to make expenditure from his own pocket. It is an unwritten law of Indian polity," a BJP leader said. This leader too had started as "karyakarta" but now owns a petrol pump and a gas agency.
Whenever I see young people in political rallies or meetings with their hands pumping air and grimaced face shouting slogans I know just one or two of them would climb the political ladder. The rest would melt into oblivion.
I do not know as why Mohan struck me when Tim asked about Rahul. But that questioned reminded me of foot soldiers who sacrifice their lives for the party but they get nothing. A few moneyed people would "purchase" party ticket or a family member of a senior leader would get good post in party hierarchy leaving these foot soldiers in a lurch.

Is a Cashless Society Around the Corner?
Jan. 25 2016 04:53 AM
By Richard Rosen Connect Website
Image by: Trifonenko, ©2016 Getty Images
We've all heard about the paperless office, and now we're hearing about a cashless society.
The concept of a paperless office has been around for as long as I can remember. An early prediction of the paperless office was made in a 1975 Businessweek article. Of course, today, that dream of the paperless office hasn't come true, though we are definitely on the path. It's about time. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the average office worker generates approximately two pounds of paper and paperboard products each day.
I started thinking about this when I read a New York Times article titled "In Sweden, a Cash-Free Future Nears." Is there a parallel between the paperless office and a cashless society, both of which have been in the works for decades?
Like the long-predicted, slow-in-coming paperless office, the cashless society will come one day.
Bills and coins represent just two percent of Sweden's economy versus 7.7% in the US. Surprisingly, half of Sweden's largest banks keep no cash on hand. They also save a bundle on security since there is nothing to steal.
The shift is at least, in part, demographic, with young people almost always using cards and electronic payments to pay their bills, and of course technology is doing its part by making it easier to securely pay bills electronically:
1. Mobile developments
Peer-to-peer payments
Tap to pay
Apple Wallet and Android Pay
Plug-in card readers
2. Online banking and transfers
3. More secure (EMV) chip cards with card-cloaking
According to the New York Times, the shift away from cash is not limited to banks. Everyone is getting into the act. Street vendors and churches were cited as being on board, because when they accept electronic payments, they experience higher sales and greater donations. Just like small businesses, big businesses benefit when customers find it easier and more convenient to pay electronically.
While many businesses benefit from the trend toward a cashless society, one must pity the poor ATM industry, as banks in Sweden dismantle hundreds of ATMs. While there are losers, there are winners too. Banks, as already mentioned, like the trend because it generates fees and lowers security costs. The government likes it because more transactions become trackable (and, thus, more easily taxed) and cash/coins are expensive to produce and maintain.
While very few of you reading this work for companies that are paid in cash, it is important to be on top of this trend and understand what it means to your business. Even though the US is lagging other developed countries in the shift to a cashless society, we must be prepared for its eventuality.
Like the long-predicted, slow-in-coming paperless office, the cashless society will come one day. The trends are clear; the timing is not. The increase in use of e-billing and e-payments and the decrease in the use of cash/checks are all good for business and should be embraced and promoted.
Who knows, that cash you have been putting under your mattress might be a great investment. After all, cash might become the ultimate collector's item. You never know.

Our staff responded to the changing needs of students for success in the 21st century. MVES was the first elementary school in Prince William County to partner with the University of Mary Washington to create a curriculum-focused MakerSpace. This innovative space was designed to encourage the use of current and emerging technology tools that support creativity, innovation, and personal engagement within the STEAM fields. Students participate in the Design Process and create solutions to problems posed in a hands-on, inquiry-based approach. Staff incorporates content areas into cohesive units that enable students to see and experience the interrelationship between curriculum areas.
Broadcast: The 5th grade, student run news program, Cougar Connections, goes live every morning! Classrooms and/or individual students can schedule special projects or reports to be presented during the morning announcements.
Lab: The three Computer Labs are scheduled by staff on a weekly and as-needed basis. Computer Skills Integration is in the Main Lab as part of the Encore rotation. "The Corner": A space in the Library created to support MakerSpace integrated activities, logical thinking, and problem- solving. Maker Movement: a platform for making things and learning through hands-on design allowing students to discover, invent, and understand curriculum related objectives through 'making'.
