A name is a word or term used for identification. Names can identify a class or category of things, or a single thing, either uniquely, or within a given context. A personal name identifies a specific unique and identifiable individual person, and may or may not include a middle name. The name of a specific entity is sometimes called a proper name (although that term has a philosophical meaning also) and is a proper noun. Other nouns are sometimes, more loosely, called names; an older term for them, now obsolete, is "general names".
The use of personal names is not unique to humans. Dolphins also use symbolic names, as has been shown by recent research. Individual dolphins have distinctive whistles, to which they will respond even when there is no other information to clarify which dolphin is being referred to.
Caution must be exercised when translating, for there are ways that one language may prefer one type of name over another. A feudal naming habit is used sometimes in other languages: the French sometimes refer to Aristotle as "le Stagirite" from one spelling of his place of birth, and English speakers often refer to Shakespeare as "The Bard", recognizing him as a paragon writer of the language. Finally, claims to preference or authority can be refuted: the British did not refer to Louis-Napoleon as Napoleon III during his rule.
Nick Offerman (born June 26, 1970) is an American actor and writer best known for his breakout role as Ron Swanson in the acclaimed NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation. He is also a woodworker.
Offerman grew up in Minooka, Illinois; his father taught junior high in nearby Channahon. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1993. That year, he and a group of fellow students co-founded the Defiant Theatre, a Chicago-based theatre company. Offerman lived in Chicago throughout the mid-1990s, where he participated with the Steppenwolf, Goodman and Wisdom Bridge theatre companies. During this time, Offerman became acquainted with Amy Poehler, who was heavily involved with the Chicago improv comedy scene.
Offerman has appeared in films such as November (2004), Cursed (2005), Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous (2005), Sin City (2005), and The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009). He has been married since 2003 to Will & Grace actress Megan Mullally. Offerman guest-starred on Will & Grace during its fourth season and on King of Queens, playing a plumber on the Thanksgiving episode in the former show and a hobo in the latter show. He appeared on his wife's talk show, The Megan Mullally Show. In 2003, he appeared in three episodes of 24 and has guest-starred in an episode of The West Wing.
Aimee Mann (born September 8, 1960) is an American rock singer-songwriter, guitarist and bassist.
Aimee Mann grew up in Bon Air, Virginia, graduated from Open High School (Richmond, Virginia) in 1978 and attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, but dropped out to sing with her first punk rock band, the Young Snakes.[citation needed] The band released the EP Bark Along with the Young Snakes in 1982, and a compilation album was issued in 2004.
In 1983, she co-founded with Berklee classmate and boyfriend Michael Hausman the new wave band 'Til Tuesday, which achieved success in 1985 with its first album, Voices Carry. The title song is said to be inspired by Hausman and Mann's breakup. The video became an MTV staple, winning the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist. Mann was featured on the Rush song "Time Stand Still" (from Hold Your Fire, 1987) which hit #3 on the American rock charts and became a minor UK hit, singing backup vocals and appearing in the music video. Her laughter is also heard at the start of "Force Ten," from the same album. With Mann playing an increasingly important role in songwriting, 'Til Tuesday released two more albums, Welcome Home and Everything's Different Now. Shortly after the release of Welcome Home, Mann told a writer for Nine-O-One Network Magazine that she was much more pleased with it than "Voices Carry", primarily because she felt it made more of a personal statement about her life. On their final tour, musician Jon Brion joined the band, which broke up in 1990 when Mann left to start her solo career.
Dana John Gould (born August 24, 1964) is an American comedian and comedy writer born and raised in Hopedale, Massachusetts. His upbringing and his extended family lent themselves to his stand-up routine, which has been seen on HBO, Showtime, and Comedy Central, among other places.
After high school, he studied communications and theatre at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He eventually moved to San Francisco to pursue a career in comedy. It was there he, along with fellow comedian Alex Reid, founded the San Francisco Comedy Condo in 1986.
Gould wrote and performed on The Ben Stiller Show; one such sketch features Gould as Otto, Cupid's twisted brother, whose arrows convince a young man to fall madly in love with an elderly woman. Another series of sketches features a heavily disguised Gould as Wilford Brimley advertising "Grady's Oats" (a parody of Brimley's Quaker Oats advertisements). In one, he speaks of his Uncle Ray's hobby of dressing in a pink taffeta gown and filling his panties with oatmeal; in another, he brandishes a revolver through the window at children. He also appeared in an episode of MADtv as Newt Gingrich and on one episode of Seinfeld as "Fragile" Franky Mirman, Jerry's childhood friend (aka "The Summer George"). He co-created and was executive producer on the MTV series Super Adventure Team. In addition Gould's stand up material was featured in Comedy Central's animated series Shorties Watchin' Shorties.
Akio Toyoda (豊田 章男, Toyoda Akio?, born May 3, 1956) is the president and CEO of Toyota Motor Corporation.
He received his MBA from Babson College.
Akio Toyoda joined Toyota in 1984. In 2000 he joined Toyota's board of directors. In 2005 he was promoted to executive vice president.
In January 2009 he was announced as the forthcoming president of the company. On June 23, 2009 he was confirmed as the new president of the company, along with four new executive vice presidents and eight new board members. The previous president and CEO Katsuaki Watanabe became vice chairman replacing Katsuhiro Nakagawa.
On February 17, 2010, Toyoda was called up to Washington by the U.S. Congress, and seven days later, issued a prepared statement to the Congress. Toyoda focused on three key issues, which included the recalled vehicles. Toyoda also stated that he is "deeply sorry" repeatedly; however, many lawmakers were asking tough questions regarding the recalled vehicles.
Toyoda was born in Nagoya. The descendants of Sakichi Toyoda who established Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, have long dominated the upper management of Toyota Motors, which was incorporated in 1937. Shoichiro Toyoda was born in Nagoya on February 17, 1925, the son of Kiichiro Toyoda, who would become the president of Toyota between 1941 and 1950; and in due course, Shoichiro Toyoda became president of the company between 1982 and 1992. His 52-year old son, Akio Toyoda, was the chief contender for the office of president when Katsuaki Watanabe was to have relinquished that post to become Chairman, Toyota's natural progression. In 2009, Mr. Watanabe was awarded only the Vice-Chairman job, possibly a subtle commentary on the quality crisis.
You don't know my name
man you don't know my name
Paint a number on my head
work me 'til i'm dead
I can't believe i've wasted
all these years i've tasted
A million days and nights all this pain and struggle
All for what i ask all the hate and trouble
You don't know my name
man you don't know my name
Punch drunk from the punch clock
opportunity never gonna knock
No more blue collar
all the unions gettin' smaller
A million nights and all the pain and struggle
All for what i ask all the hate and trouble
You don't know my name
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Got lost or thrown away
And now we're grown up orphans
And never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are
We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
I won't tell em' your name
Oooh, oooh, oooh
I won't tell em' your name
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are
Come back down
oh my darlin’, you’ve must be a moving target just like
they’ll call you right, they’ll call you left
they’ll call you names of all your friends
you never know
what you’ll have to do
baby don’t let ‘em
don’t let ‘em put a name on you
there’s no categories just long stories waiting to be
heard
(if there’s love in your heart)
don’t be satisfied when someone sums you up with just
one word
(if there’s love in your heart)
blindfold your heart
and feel for a clue
baby don’t let ‘em
don’t let ‘em put a name on you
[Bridge]
you say you wanna know the people I know
you say you wanna come in and crack my code, uh huh
catch me if you think you can
but count on me for nothing man, uh huh
it’s gonna take more than hearing you say the only
words you think I know
the truth may be with you today but may be gone
tomorrow
baby don’t let ‘em
I try too hard
Persuasion never wins
So let me start again
And here it is as plain as day
These words not mine but His
And this is what they say
My hands they made you
My breath I gave you
My son, He saves you
If you want to you can wear My name
My love unending
My truth unbending
I want you to wear My name
I'm just like you
Our sin, a cross, His son
As your friends we come
So here we are another verse
A different view, God as a Father
Us, His pursuit
My hands they made you
My breath I gave you
My son, He saves you
If you want to you can wear My name
My love unending
My truth unbending
I want you to wear My name
Unending, unbending
I want you
My hands they made you
My breath I gave you
My son, He saves you
If you want to you can wear My name
My love unending
My truth unbending
I want you to wear My name
My hands they made you
My breath I gave you
My son, He saves you
If you want to you can wear My name
My love unending
My truth unbending
I want you to wear My name
One thing's for certain
I want you to wear My name
Seven days old in the icu tonight
Little baby boy, they don't want to have to say goodbye
Your mother's on the phone
Your father's in the hall
Prayin' "God,save this life"
He sees you
He's near you
He knows your face
He knows your pain
He sees you and He loves you
He knows your name
He knows your name
Four doors down there's a man who just won't wake up
He crashed so hard
And the doctor's want to pull the plug
Your wife is by your side sayin' "Not tonight"
Prayin' God will just show up.
He sees you
He's near you
He knows your face
He knows your pain
He sees you and He loves you
He knows your name
He knows your name
Maybe you're alone
In a corner of an empty house
Or maybe you're the one
No one notices in the crowd
He sees you
He's near you
He knows your face
He knows your pain
He sees you and He loves you
He knows your name
He knows your name
He knows your name
Years ago I found a letter, it wasn't mean for me
But i've read the anger, your fear, the horror and agony
Words I remember, now they're a part of me
cirle in my head and i can feel the pain
It's my name
The new life that you expected,
you never heard them cry
Our arms are empty,
try to live with the lie
Never taken seriously,
You've lost it all, your family
I can't look straight into your eyes
afraid of what I see
No, you can't remember me
And I asked myself, what hurts the most
It's all in our name
It's all in our name
Starring at you and try to look
into your empty eyes
You whispher words of madness
What 's the world inside
The life you lived so long
you're alive inside you are dead
Isn't there a way, what's the game to play
How long can you hold
It's been so long to be afraid
What are the swords they whispher
Try to find a way, to let it all end
It's all in our name
It's all in our name
Want to hold you in my arms
You're so close, so far away
Goodbye, I told you so
promising to be back soon
A tear in my eye
I know that i lied, I wished could do more
I'm no sorry, I'm no sorry
Goodbye
When you find out
All of your dreams
I hope somehow
Take what you need
When your hope is gone
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
We've got to move on
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
When you lose your way on your way back home
I call your name now
I call your name
You think too much
Yeah yeah yeah
Forget what you have to do
Each day we'll try
Yeah yeah yeah
To face this truth
Stay with the one you love
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
To realize who we are
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
When you lose your way on your way back home
I call your name on the road
When you call my name I'll be your home
I call your name now
I've not been able, to heal myself yet
Of street-prophets sentences
My lips are throwing but curses
My laughter is the cry of despair
For a moment too much
For longer to little
It is also dangerous
To forget one's name
In what purpose, the end is left
The way in its way is confused
For everybody good
Glory to fucking benefactors!
I'm taking in my hands
The act of depression
Which one can get from notary public
to forget one's name?
violated thought about the test of the new
I'm asking a lame beggar for advice
To forget one's name?
But I hump you
But I, but I hump...
Take you dirty clothes off, and toss 'em in the hamper
Do it kinda slow, so I can drool and have a gander
Peek a boo, boo a peek
Ridah' stank, you so damn sweet
Creep on you, you will freak
I'm gonna make my fingers bleed
Met my baby on a rooftop, took her to the candy shop,
took off all her hand me downs
Hoochie really aught to blow me, but not in a wrong
way, cuz she really know me
When we do our dirty deeds, we do it with some fun,
and...
All I wanna do is see you cum, hear you cummin'
Take it slow, take it fast, we just gonna have a blast
Do the math, we a match, that is why it's gonna last
Met my baby on a rooftop, took her to the candy shop,
took off all her hand me downs
Hoochie really aught to blow me, but not in a wrong
way, cuz she really know me
The opportune moment has finally made its way
I will taste the sugar walls till your rainbow hits the
Hits the sky!
Met my baby on a rooftop, took her to the candy shop,
took off all her hand me downs
Hoochie really aught to blow me, but not in a wrong
way, cuz she really know me
Met my baby on a rooftop, took her to the candy shop,
took off all her hand me downs
Hoochie really aught to blow me, but not in a wrong
I know your name
I know that cursing it would be a shame
You're in a frame
A timeless one
I don't know where to put it
Although you rule my world
I know you're not the one and only girl
I know my name
I know that wasting it would be inane to do
Life just ain't the same
Without your madness
Everything looks pretty true
And though the truth may suit me well, my dear
I want some beauty too
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
I knew my name
I thought that life was chronological
And then you came
You put me in the greatest concert hall of love
And I faked the fame
I did as if I could sing arias
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
I know your name
It's something I will always recognize
I'll remember the games
The wicked ones
In the name of what? What is your name?!
You stuck, stuck a knife Stuck a knife in my back You didn't even show me your face Disgrace! I felt deep, too deep in my sleep Man I made a fuckin mistake What if I had a gun in my hand I'd rather not think 'bout the end It's a sick zone, a danger zone I've got a pair of eyes, i need more
I don't give a damn 'bout the reasons That made you do this to the motherfucker Watch your fuckin ass Fuck you!
You're sellin', sellin' dope to the kids in the streets You're makin' them blind, makin' them weak You're lookin' like a fuckin' macho-type to me With your dickhead and muscles You tried to terrorize me What if I had a gun in my hand I'd rather not think 'bout the end It's a sick zone, a danger zone I've got a pair of eyes, I need more
What is your name You've got no name
Face, show me your face Don't do it, don't do it again You've got me so fucked up You've got me on the edge
