Are you on Windows? Use the ./mvnw spring-boot:run version of the command. The lesson says to do it without the ./ for windows, but you need it if you are using powershell (the default in intelliJ). Maybe without the ./ is for command prompt?

Funnily enough, I was able to get it to run by using backslash rather than forward slash.
.\mvnw spring-boot:run
I think restarting my PC might have also had something to do with it. Thanks for the help @davejandrea

My question is what can I do to change it only for the Gold Medal Metrics project, not entirely? Is there a way to avoid uninstallation of java 17 and its replacement with java 11 for the whole system?

I am still having a problem where I can run the Maven project through the GUI Maven Tab > Execute Maven Goal - then typing in spring-boot:run but when I go to run it in the terminal using ./mvnw spring-boot:run it says command not found. Is anyone else having this issue?

My problem is that any time I launch Medal.tv, its windows is briefly shown on my primary monitor, then suddenly moved and enlarged on my secondary monitor. But ONLY when it's started, not unminimized. If I move it back to my primary, it stays there until it's restarted.

most likely a resolution difference between monitors and or the dpi scaling on the app is looking for the (less intrusive) place to park. The apps are always running in windowed mode and it could quite possibly be another program since the mouse is free to roam while the app is up and running.

The Danish Society for the Dissemination of Natural Science has announced that Charlie Marcus, the Director of the Microsoft Quantum Lab in Copenhagen and Villum Kann Rasmussen Professor at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, is being awarded the H.C. rsted Gold Medal.

Fittingly for an rsted medal winner, Charlie has often been able to intertwine the electrical and magnetic properties of electrons in such devices, as in the case of coherent electrical control of the coupling between quantum spins and in the case of ferromagnet-superconductor-semiconductor hybrid materials (for more details about the latter, see my earlier blog post and links therein).

Charlie is also known as a wonderful mentor for both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as postdoctoral scientists. His former students are faculty members at many universities, occupy important positions in many other industrial quantum computing efforts, and play key roles within the Microsoft Quantum program.

Medal of Honor only plays on PC, and needs Windows XP or better, ideally Win 7 or 8.1. One problem for Mac users is that Parallels 9 and 10 do not support DirectX 11 which is native to Windows 7 (my prefered PC OS). So with Win 7 install on my Parallels desktop 9, Win 7 virtual drive, it appears to install but crashes during startup, since Parallels 9 cannot run the DX11 drivers.

My next effort was directed to installing Win 7 using Boot Camp 5.1. I have an early 2012 Macbok Pro with Mavericks, 16Gb Ram and 200 Gb free HDD space, and the NVidia GeForce GT 650M graphics adaptor, as well as the "onboard" Intel HD 4000. The former is best for gaming and bios apparently selects which GPU to use automatically.

I tried and failed to get Win 7 installed via a standard Boot Camp proceedure. During first startup, Windows came to "unexpected error...restart and try again" It could not get past this. so here is what I did, using various online helps:

2 restart and press Cmd+R key to get the boot up recovery options. Select Disk Utilities to create a new partition for Windows . For some reason this is not available while running the full OSX desktop Disk Ut.

4 Restart and press and hold Option key to get a choice of startup disk options. Select Windows, press arrow key. You must have a Win 7 install disk in the DVD drive of and ISO on the USB. Disk Utilities can creat this for you (though it names it .crs)

6 after a restart you will get the standard date and time, then Product Key etc. From there it should automatically go to the USB key to get all the drivers windows needs to run the Apple equipment-keyboard, wireless, DVD etc

7. Start windows desktop and put in your wireless details to get internet going. Check in control panel at which Display adapter it instlled. Mine was a Generic VGA with only 14Mb of RAM, completely useless, wrong and it has no OpenGL driver for it ( an error message MOH game gave me when I tried to use it at this point.

8. Now mess with Windows. You may find you have almost no free HDD space due to an oversize Hyberfil.sys file and a huge pagefile.sys. Find the command to disable hyberfil which is used for hybernation. you won't miss it. Mine file was 12 Gb on a fresh install!!. Because I have 16Gb Ram, it made a pagefile area of 9Gb, again not needed. Find the setting by Rt click My Computer/advanced to manually edit the size of the page file. I used 2Gb min and

for the drivers for your windows install, eg mine was at nvidea.com under downloads for Vista, win7 and win8. Large file of about 280Gb. Get the same for the Intel onboard drivers, tho may not be essential at this stage. Put them on the USB drive, to save and install on the Windows side.

In 1937 Ren Paul Chambellan designed the Caldecott Medal. The bronze medal has the winner's name and the date engraved on the back. When the Caldecott Medal was accepted in 1937, the Section for Library Work with Children invited the School Libraries Section to name five of its members to the awards committee each year. For this reason the Caldecott Medal inscription reads, "Awarded annually by the Children's and School Librarians Sections of the American Library Association." This is a combination and simplification of the actual names of the sections. The wording continues even though several ALA reorganizations resulted in 1958 in the present divisions, including the Children's Services Division, now the Association for Library Service to Children, which now has sole responsibility for administering the award.

Each year the Newbery Medal is awarded by the American Library Association for the most distinguished American children's books published the previous year. However, as many persons became concerned that the artists creating picture books for children were as deserving of honor and encouragement as were the authors of children's books, Frederic G. Melcher suggested in 1937 the establishment of a second annual medal. This medal is to be given to the artist who had created the most distinguished picture book of the year and named in honor of the nineteenth-century English illustrator Randolph J. Caldecott. The idea for this medal was also accepted enthusiastically by the Section for Library Work with Children of ALA and was approved by the ALA Executive Board.

The Caldecott Medal "shall be awarded to the artist of the most distinguished American Picture Book for Children published in the United States during the preceding year. The award shall go to the artist, who must be a citizen or resident of the United States, whether or not he be the author of the text. Members of the Newbery Medal Committee will serve as judges. If a book of the year is nominated for both the Newbery and Caldecott Awards the committee shall decide under which heading it shall be voted upon, so that the same title shall not be considered on both ballots." In 1977 the Board of Directors of the Association for Library Service to Children rescinded the final part of the 1937 action and approved that "any book published in the preceding year shall be eligible to be considered for either award or both awards." Separate committees to choose the Newbery and Caldecott Awards were established in 1978 and began with the 1980 selection committees.

From the beginning of the awarding of the Newbery and Caldecott Medals, committees could, and usually did, cite other books as worthy of attention. Such books were referred to as Newbery or Caldecott "runners-up." In 1971 the term "runners-up" was changed to "honor books." The new terminology was made retroactive so that all former runners-up are now referred to as Newbery or Caldecott Honor Books.

Randolph Caldecott was one of a group of three influential children's illustrators working in England in the 19th century. The other two illustrators were Kate Greenaway and Walter Crane. His illustrations for children were unique to their time in both their humor, and their ability to create a sense of movement, vitality, and action that complemented the stories they accompanied.

The illustration on the Caldecott Medal, which is taken from Caldecott's illustrations for "The Diverting Story of John Gilpin," is a perfect example of the humor, vitality, and sense of movement found in Caldecott's work. The illustration shows John Gilpin astride a runaway horse, accompanied by squawking geese, braying dogs, and startled onlookers.

**The Newbery and Caldecott Medal and book seal images are property of the American Library Association and cannot be used in any form or reproduced without permission of the ALA Office of Rights and permissions.

The Medal shall be awarded annually to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children published by an American publisher in the United States in English during the preceding year. There are no limitations as to the character of the picture book except that the illustrations be original work. Honor books may be named. These shall be books that are also truly distinguished.

The term "original work" may have several meanings. For purposes of these awards, it is defined as follows:

"Original work" means that the illustrations were created by this artist and no one else. Further, "original work" means that the illustrations are presented here for the first time and have not been previously published elsewhere in this or any other form. Illustrations reprinted or compiled from other sources are not eligible.

The only limitation to graphic form is that the form must be one which may be used in a picture book. The book must be a self-contained entity, not dependent on other media (i.e., sound, film or computer program) for its enjoyment.
