I would love to meet the eminent Professor Forgotten Password. They have published extensively in many different fields and been widely cited! At least, according to Google Scholar, which is full of mistaken "identities" like this, it even thinks I'm Maurice Wilkins. Duh.
Found these anomalies via Péter Jacsó at the University of Hawaii who says:
"After seeing left and right author names like F. Password, V Findings, N Vietnam, S.Vietnam, it was surprising to notice one of the new software features of Google Scholar, the cluster of authors related to the user’s query as explained in the help file. My test search shows the suggested authors from a set of purportedly 2,9110,000 records on the topic of risk factor evaluation with the following names: P Population, R Evaluation, M Data, R Findings and M Results. Google Scholar flaunts its software deficiencies and does not provide any hints about the limitation of the software" see [1]
Well what can you expect from Beta software?
Professors Ann Arbor, Milton Keynes, Already Registered, Access Denied and Please Login are all pretty active in their fields too. But it is probably best to leave the last word to a certain Mr Conclusion and a Mrs Future Work, from the University of Unfinished Software.

How Professor Charles Xavier appears in the animated series and in the end of X-men: Days of Future Past. His chair is my own design, but I still plan on updating it it. C&C appreciated.
Its a thinking man's title. Actually means something. Think other languages.
Had a blast shooting today. One secondary version of this set up will come some other day.

Professor Fiona Robertson, is the Horace Walpole Professor of English Literature at St. Mary's University College, Twickenham London, a post she has held since September 2012 when she left her position at Durham Univeristy. A loss to the north. Her specialism is English romantic fiction, American fiction and in her current role the relationships between literature and architecture. One of her most recent publications is the Edinburgh Companion to Sir Walter Scott. Today she is giving a lecture in the splendour of the Bowes Museum to compliment the current exhibition featuring the artistic associations with Sir Walter Scott's last narrative poem - Rokeby. Barnard Castle and the Rokeby estates are prominent locations in Scott's poem which Sir Walter dedicated to his friend John BS Morritt the owner of Rokeby Park as follows: "To John B.S. Morritt, Esq. This Poem, The Scene Of Which Is Laid In His Beautiful Demesne Of Rokeby, Is Inscribed, In Token Of Sincere Friendship, by Walter Scott".
Professor Robertson's lecture was called "Rokeby's Lines" and examined Scott's poem and the literary and artistic traditions associated with it. A very enjoyable event, I left fired-up to explore the many Teesside/Scott connections that Rokeby generated.
Incidentally, the book on the casual table is an 1813 first edition of Rokeby which the diligent professor picked up for a song in a second hand book shop! Some women have it all...
Here is a synopsis of Sir Walter Scott's: Rokeby
The poem is set just after the Parliamentarian victory at Marston Moor (1644). Prior to the outbreak of war, the Royalist Lord Rokeby has favoured the marriage of his daughter Matilda (in whom some have seen a portrait of Williamina Belsches) with Wilfrid Wycliffe. When Wilfrid's father Oswald, however, joins the rebels, he withdraws his consent. At Marston Moor, Rokeby is consigned as a prisoner to Oswald. Oswald, meanwhile, plans to murder a fellow Parliamentarian Philip, of Mortham, whose vengeance he fears. In the past, Oswald, having failed to seduce Mortham's wife, had deceived Mortham into killing her on suspicion of infidelity. Shortly after, Mortham's infant child had been carried of by an armed band. In despair, Mortham had turned to piracy, accumulating a fortune on the Spanish Main. Oswald hires a disaffected retainer, Bertram Risingham, to whom he promises Mortham's treasure. Bertram shoots Mortham, and leaves him for dead. He then attacks Rokeby Castle where Mortham's treasure is stored, but Rokeby's page Redmond O'Neale, a young Irishman, puts up a spirited defence. The castle is set alight during the attack, and, through Redmond's assistance, Matilda and Wilfrid escape. Redmond and Rokeby, however, remain in Oswald's custody. Oswald learns that Mortham is still alive and discovers too that Redmond is Mortham's missing son. Frustrated in his schemes, he threatens Rokeby and Redmond with death, unless the former agree to his daughter's marriage with Wilfrid. Matilda consents to save her father's life, but Wilfrid refuses to accept her sacrifice, dying soon after of wounds received during the attack on Rokeby Castle. Oswald orders the executions to proceed but is killed, in the nick of time, by Bertram, who has survived the blaze and whose loyalty to Mortham has revived. Bertram is in turn killed by Oswald's soldiers. Mortham and Redmond are reunited, and Matilda and Redmond wed. Phwe... Note:Williamina Belsches was Sir Walter Scott's unrequited early love.

The first time I met Johnathan Vance (1978) I lost to him 0-2 in a point karate tournament.
In 1978 he won the All-Hawaii State Karate Championships in both Kumite and Kata. In the years 1975-1980 Vance comprised a Full Contact record of 29-0 with 22 by knockout. I've seen him konk guys at Bloch Arena, Conroy Bowl, Blaisdell Center, and too many school gymnasiums to count.
In 1980, we were both part of the original crew of American Hawaii Cruises new inter-island cruise ships and consequently we were sent to Maryland for a month to get our Lifeboat certification.
The next time we squared off for a little kumite, in Maryland, I landed the first strike -- a quick front leg side kick that slipped in beneath his arm. Then I landed the same kick to his mid-section again. He nodded his approval, and countered with a barrage. JV did not like to lose.
That was the first of several sparring sessions between Johnathan and myself while employed with the cruise ships. He usually got the best of it, but there were occasions when I stole the show.
One night in the Makao room, a crew recreation room toward the back of the ship, JV, Danny Keao (also with Universal Kempo), and myself were working out together. After sparring with each other for a few rounds, Johnathan declared a finish to the workout, but I asked him if we could continue a little longer.
We started sparring again and shortly thereafter, I sank a front kick deep into his stomach. Despite the solid blow, Vance pressed forward... It was more of a reaction than a thought, but I spun and caught him square in the mouth with the most devastating spinning back fist that I've ever landed. Blood splattered like a squashed tomato, yet he relentlessly pressed forward. JV then landed a beautiful three punch combo to my head -- a left hook, straight right, and a right hand uppercut that knocked me off my feet.
"Get up, you wanted to go some more, get up" Vance demanded as he kicked me in the butt on the ground. I rose and put my hands up, and that's when I saw them, the black beady eyes of a ninja warrior locked on his prey. I knew that this was the void, the unknown, the point of no return...
I turned around and put my hands down at my side in surrender. He punched me twice in the back before he too knew that it really was time to call it quits for the night.
It was kind of ironic that we were roommates at the time, both of us in need of ice packs later that night. That exchange of punches was the defining bond between us - Budo blood brothers.
my dear friend, rival, mentor, and fellow karateka...
10th Degree Professor Johnathan Leroy Vance
Born: June 17, 1958 Fukuoka, Japan
Passing: February 10, 2007 Honolulu, Hawaii
Began his martial arts training in 1965 with Pearl City Judo Club. In 1972 he began training at Godin's Kula Ona Kupale Kempo-Karate (later Universal Kempo-Karate with Prof. M. Buell).
He won numerous awards in his career including a Full-Contact record of 29-0 with 22 knockouts (1975-1980) and the Grand Champion of the 1978 All-Hawaii State Karate Championship.
He began teaching Kempo-Karate as an Assistant Instructor. He later ran two Kempo-Karate Branches before opening and founding Advanced Kempo-Karate in July 2003. He continued teaching and training while raising his family and working as a Sherriff for the State of Hawaii.
He was born in Fukuoka, Japan. He was a former Senior Chief Instructor for Professor Martin Buell, Universal Kempo and Founder of Advanced Kempo-Karate System, 10th degree Black Belt. Also, a Civil Deputy Sheriff for 25 years.
Sadly, tragedy struck Johnathan Vance in 2007. A leukemia like blood disorder suddenly came upon him. He checked into Queen's hospital but passed away two days later.
After moving to Kauai I had not seen Johnathan since 1991 and am thankful to have seen him again in 2006 at Hanapepe where he had a fighter in an MMA event held there.
At the time of his passing, he had impacted the lives of over 3000 students and their families.
Survived by wife, Jowella Vance; daughters, DeRae Riturban, Cazden and Jazdee Vance; brothers, Alec and Lee Pacheco; sister, Normandie Enderton; mother, Kumiko Vance; mother, Audrey Vance; grand-children, Mahina and Lilinoe.
Feliz dia do professor à todas amigas flickeras que estão em atividade, aposentadas ou que se afastaram para dedicar-se ao artesanato.
Esses mimos fiz para as professoras do meu filhote.
Que todas tenham um lindo fim de semana!! Bjokas
