These two characters are a way to express "perseverance" with the idea of "willpower" in Chinese and old Korean Hanja. It can also mean "strong willed."
The first character means "strong" and "persistent," while the second means "strength" and "power."
This phrase can mean either "strong hearted," "strong willed" or "determination."
The first two characters can be translated as "will," "willpower," "determination," "volition," "intention," or "intent." But, it should be noted that this first part possess the element of "heart" in the lower portion of both characters (they also partially carry the meaning "with whole heart").
The last two characters mean "strong" or "staunch."
Chinese word order and grammar is a bit different than English, so in this case, they are in reverse order of English but have the correct meaning in a natural form.

毅 is the simplest way to express perseverance in Chinese and Korean Hanja.
This single-character version leaves a bit of mystery about what kind of perseverance you might want to convey.
In Korean, this is usually associated with "strength of character."
In Japanese, this character can be pronounced about a dozen different ways (so we have left out the Japanese pronunciation guide that normally appears above). In Japanese this Kanji would usually be translated "strong" (perhaps strong-willed).
This Chinese proverb means "Be undaunted in the face of repeated setbacks." More directly-translated, it reads, "[Overcome] a hundred setbacks, without flinching." 百折不撓 is of Chinese origin but is commonly used in Japanese, and somewhat in Korean (same characters, different pronunciation).
This proverb comes from a long, and occasionally tragic story of a man that lived sometime around 25-220 AD. His name was Qiao Xuan and he never stooped to flattery but remained an upright person at all times. He fought to expose corruption of higher-level government officials at great risk to himself.
Then when he was at a higher level in the Imperial Court, bandits were regularly capturing hostages and demanding ransoms. But when his own son was captured, he was so focused on his duty to the Emperor and common good that he sent a platoon of soldiers to raid the bandits' hideout, and stop them once and for all even at the risk of his own son's life. While all of the bandits were arrested in the raid, they killed Qiao Xuan's son at first sight of the raiding soldiers.
Near the end of his career a new Emperor came to power, and Qiao Xuan reported to him that one of his ministers was bullying the people and extorting money from them. The new Emperor refused to listen to Qiao Xuan and even promoted the corrupt Minister. Qiao Xuan was so disgusted that in protest he resigned his post as minister (something almost never done) and left for his home village.
His tombstone reads "Bai Zhe Bu Nao" which is now a proverb used in Chinese culture to describe a person of strength will who puts up stubborn resistance against great odds.
My Chinese-English dictionary defines these 4 characters as, "keep on fighting in spite of all setbacks," "be undaunted by repeated setbacks" and "be indomitable."
Our translator says it can mean, "never give up" in modern Chinese.
Although the first two characters are translated correctly as "repeated setbacks," the literal meaning is "100 setbacks" or "a rope that breaks 100 times." The last two characters can mean "do not yield" or "do not give up."
Most Chinese, Japanese, and Korean people will not take this absolutely literal meaning but will instead understand it as the title suggests above. If you want a single big word definition, it would be indefatigability, indomitableness, persistence, or unyielding.

{Buddh} (See 苦集滅道) The Four Noble Truths (of Buddhism)
catvāri-ārya-satyāni; 四聖諦; 四眞諦. The four dogmas, or noble truths, the primary and fundamental doctrines of Śākyamuni, said to approximate to the form of medical diagnosis. They are pain or 'suffering, its cause, its ending, the way thereto; that existence is suffering, that human passion (taṇhā, 欲 desire) is the cause of continued suffering, that by the destruction of human passion existence may be brought to an end; that by a life of holiness the destruction of human passion may be attained'. Childers. The four are 苦, 聚 (or 集), 滅, and 道諦, i. e. duḥkha 豆佉, samudaya 三牟提耶, nirodha 尼棲陀, and mārga 末加. Eitel interprets them (1) 'that 'misery' is a necessary attribute of sentient existence'; (2) that 'the 'accumulation' of misery is caused by the passions'; (3) that 'the 'extinction' of passion is possible; (4) mārga is 'the doctrine of the 'path' that leads to the extinction of passion'. (1) 苦 suffering is the lot of the 六趣 six states of existence; (2) 集 is the aggregation (or exacerbation) of suffering by reason of the passions; (3) 滅 is nirvana, the extinction of desire and its consequences, and the leaving of the sufferings of mortality as void and extinct; (4) 道 is the way of such extinction, i. e. the 八正道 eightfold correct way. The first two are considered to be related to this life, the last two to 出世間 a life outside or apart from the world. The four are described as the fundamental doctrines first preached to his five former ascetic companions. Those who accepted these truths were in the stage of śrāvaka. There is much dispute as to the meaning of 滅 'extinction' as to whether it means extinction of suffering, of passion, or of existence. The Nirvana Sutra 18 says that whoever accepts the four dogmas will put an end to births and deaths 若能見四諦則得斷生死 which does not of necessity mean the termination of existence but that of continued transmigration. v. 滅.

naraka, 捺落迦 (or 那落迦) ; niraya 泥犂; explained by 不樂 joyless; 可厭 disgusting, hateful; 苦具, 苦器 means of suffering; if 地獄 earth-prison; 冥府 the shades, or departments of darkness. Earth-prison is generally intp. as hell or the hells; it may also be termed purgatory; one of the six gati or ways of transmigration. The hells are divided into three classes: I. Central, or radical, 根本地獄 consisting of (1) The eight hot hells. These were the original hells of primitive Buddhism, and are supposed to be located umder the southern continent Jambudvīpa 瞻部州, 500 yojanas below the surface. (a) 等活 or 更活 Saṃjīva, rebirth, where after many kinds of suffering a cold wind blows over the soul and returns it to this life as it was before, hence the name 等活. (b) 黑繩 Kaslasūtra, where the sufferer is bound with black chains and chopped or sawn asunder. (c) 線合; 衆合; 堆壓 Saṃghāta, where are multitudes of implements of torture, or the falling of mountains upon the sufferer. (d) 號呌; 呼呼; 叫喚 Raurava, hell of wailing. (e) 大呌; 大號呌; 大呼 Mahāraurava, hell of great wailing. (f) 炎熱; 燒炙 Tapana, hell of fames and burning. (g) 大熱; 大燒炙; 大炎熱 Pratāpana, hell of molten lead. (h) 無間; 河鼻旨; 阿惟越致; 阿毗至; 阿鼻; 阿毗 Avīci, unintermitted suffering, where sinners die and are reborn to suffer without interval. (2) The eight cold hells 八寒地獄. (a) 頞浮陀地獄 Arbuda, where the cold causes blisters. (b) 尼刺部陀 Nirarbuda, colder still causing the blisters to burst. (c) 頞哳吒; 阿吒吒 Atata, where this is the only possible sound from frozen lips. (d) 臛臛婆; 阿波波 Hahava or Apapa, where it is so cold that only this sound can be uttered. (e) 虎虎婆 Hāhādhara or Huhuva, where only this sound can be uttered. (f) 嗢鉢羅; 鬱鉢羅 (or 優鉢羅) Utpala, or 尼羅鳥 (or 漚) 鉢羅 Nīlotpala, where the skin is frozen like blue lotus buds. (g) 鉢特摩 Padma, where the skin is frozen and bursts open like red lotus buds. (h) 摩訶鉢特摩 Mahāpadma, ditto like great red lotus buds. Somewhat different names are also given. Cf. 倶舍論 8; 智度論 16; 涅槃經 11. II. The secondary hells are called 近邊地獄 adjacent hells or 十六遊增 each of its four sides, opening from each such door are four adjacent hells, in all sixteen; thus with the original eight there are 136. A list of eighteen hells is given in the 十八泥梨經. III. A third class is called the 孤地獄 (獨地獄) Lokāntarika, or isolated hells in mountains, deserts, below the earth and above it. Eitel says in regard to the eight hot hells that they range 'one beneath the other in tiers which begin at a depth of 11,900 yojanas and reach to a depth of 40,000 yojanas'. The cold hells are under 'the two Tchahavālas and range shaft-like one below the other, but so that this shaft is gradually widening to the fourth hell and then narrowing itself again so that the first and last hell have the shortest, those in the centre the longest diameter'. 'Every universe has the same number of hells, ' but 'the northern continent has no hell whatever, the two continents east and west of Meru have only small Lokāntarika hells... whilst all the other hells are required for the inhabitants of the southern continent '. It may be noted that the purpose of these hells is definitely punitive, as well as purgatorial. Yama is the judge and ruler, assisted by eighteen officers and a host of demons, who order or administer the various degrees of torture. 'His sister performs the same duties with regard to female criminals, ' and it may be mentioned that the Chinese have added the 血盆池 Lake of the bloody bath, or 'placenta tank' for women who die in childbirth. Release from the hells is in the power of the monks by tantric means.

All of our calligraphy wall scrolls are handmade.
When the calligrapher finishes creating your artwork, it is taken to my art mounting workshop in Beijing where a wall scroll is made by hand from a combination of silk, rice paper, and wood.
After we create your wall scroll, it takes at least two weeks for air mail delivery from Beijing to you.
Allow a few weeks for delivery. Rush service speeds it up by a week or two for $10!
When you select your calligraphy, you'll be taken to another page where you can choose various custom options.
The wall scroll that Sandy is holding in this picture is a "large size"
single-character wall scroll.
We also offer custom wall scrolls in small, medium, and an even-larger jumbo size.
Professional calligraphers are getting to be hard to find these days.
Instead of drawing characters by hand, the new generation in China merely type roman letters into their computer keyboards and pick the character that they want from a list that pops up.
There is some fear that true Chinese calligraphy may become a lost art in the coming years. Many art institutes in China are now promoting calligraphy programs in hopes of keeping this unique form of art alive.
Even with the teachings of a top-ranked calligrapher in China, my calligraphy will never be good enough to sell. I will leave that to the experts.
The same calligrapher who gave me those lessons also attracted a crowd of thousands and a TV crew as he created characters over 6-feet high. He happens to be ranked as one of the top 100 calligraphers in all of China. He is also one of very few that would actually attempt such a feat.

Shawnee PD investigates reported rape of teen
Investigators say sexual assault reported Wednesday
SHAWNEE, Kan. —
Shawnee police said they are investigating a reported rape, involving a 15-year-old girl.
Police said the report was filed Wednesday, but the alleged sexual assault happened over the weekend.
According to investigators, there was a get-together in the 17000 block of West 66th Terrace Saturday night.
Police said three girls and two boys -- all 15-year-olds -- were drinking at the house. Later on, two of the girls went to look for the third girl and found her naked in a bedroom, investigators told KMBC-TV.
Police said the 15-year-old does not remember what happened, but they believe there is enough information to further investigate the report.

It's hard to choose a single destination that satisfies all of your holiday requirements, which is what makes cruise holidays so much more fun. cool cruise destinations
You aren't tied down to one location, you don't have to spend a fortune on accommodation, food and transportation, and you don't have the cramped travel spaces or baggage limitations of flying. cool cruise destinations
Instead, you set sail off the coast of some beautiful country and comfortably amble your way to other cities, cultures, and experiences. I didn't want to give you the obvious cruise holiday destinations, so I've made a collection of cool locations that can be visited by sea. I hope you find something to inspire your wanderlust and thirst for adventure.
If you're looking for somewhere hot to go during the cold winter months, Dubai and Doha are perfect solutions. Dubai boasts some of the best shopping in the world, but there's plenty to do even if you're travelling on a budget. You can still marvel at the modern architecture or indulge in the city's exciting night-life.
Doha is home to the Museum of Islamic Art, and you can also check out the camel-riding robots at Al Shahaniya Camel Track. The perks of choosing a cruise are evident, as you can stop at a number of different locations on the coasts of the United Arab Emirates, including historic Abu Dhabi or the gateway city of Muscat, which is situated on the Gulf of Oman.
Limassol is on the southern coast of Cyprus and offers a wealth of history and beauty. The city itself is home to the impressive Kolossi Castle. Excursions from Limassol include trips to Paphos where you can see Aphrodite's Rock and the Tomb of the Kings.
Natural beauties like vineyards, citrus groves, and beaches with some of the clearest water in the world all await. Plus, cruises for this area also generally include stops in Turkey, Greece and sometimes even Spain or Italy.
Costa Rica is an amazingly diverse natural landscape, with rainforests, mountains, and a truly unique selection of flora and fauna.
You can stop at a port city like Puntarenas, then take excursions to San Jose, explore the Poas Volcano, tour a coffee plantation, or sink into a thermal spring. Alternatively, stick close to warm, sandy beaches like Tamarindo or hit the island of Tortuga.
The Canary Islands are a popular destination for cruises because of the 300+ days of sunshine they receive each year! The choices for places to stop and see are endless, with the most popular including La Palma, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, and Tenerife.
The white sand beaches, crystal clear blue waters and sunshine speak for themselves in the Canary Islands. But you should also consider cosying up to some dolphins at Loro Parque or travelling inland for a view of Mount Teide in Tenerife.
Everyone should go Down Under at some stage in their life. Whether you're a city slicker or a country lover, Australia and New Zealand have what you need. You'll want to save up your holidays for this trip, because it'll take at least two weeks to see all the sites these warm and vibrant countries offer.
The pull of the Great Barrier Reef is undeniable, so don't miss the opportunity to snorkel in one of the Natural Wonders of the World. Then continue on south to see the Opera House in Sydney, the Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne and indulge in a few adventure sports or a Lord of the Rings tour once you hit New Zealand.
If you're looking for a destination that is literally very cool, try an Alaskan cruise! Most start in Whittier (near Anchorage), Juneau or Skagway. And some go quite far afield to Vancouver, Seattle and even San Francisco. These cruises are best taken in the summer, as Glacier Bay National Park is hard to traverse after September.
On these truly stunning cruises operating in the area, you'll get a little bit of everything, including whale watching, mountain climbing, and dog sledding. Plus you can learn gold rush history, see Denali National Park, and get insights into local culture around totem poles and lumberjacks.
Cruises are a great way to take some of the stress out of visiting several different countries, especially if time is a consideration. I hope this list has helps to make your next holiday even easier to arrange!

Jodie Meeks made the right choice.
He followed his heart.
Oh, sure, Meeks could have pleased Kentucky fans and those of us who would have enjoyed his deep threes for another basketball season. He could have joined John Calipari's star-studded roster and helped in the hunt for banner No. 8.
But his heart wouldn't have been in it. Not completely. It's obvious that by participating in all those workouts and waiting until decision day before announcing his intention to remain in the NBA Draft, remaining in the draft was his intention all along.
After all, there's no time like the present.
There are two types of NBA players. There are the chosen ones, the lottery picks, and the first-round selections who take their appointed spots on NBA rosters. And then there are the ones who play their way onto a team.
Meeks will have to play his way on, just like Chuck Hayes and Kelenna Azubuike did as undrafted free agents after the 2005 draft, just like Joe Crawford did as a late second-round selection last year. None of that UK trio started out in the NBA. All have played their way there.
Hayes stayed in college the full four years, yet went unselected after Kentucky lost to Michigan State in the finals of the 2005 Austin Regional, one game away from the Final Four. But Hayes spent a brief stint in the NBA Developmental League, then hooked on with the Houston Rockets for 40 games of the 2005-06 season.
Azubuike was a surprise early entrant after 2005, deciding to forego his senior season. He, too, went undrafted, and spent more than a year in the D-League before joining up with Golden State for 41 games in 2006-07.
This past season, Hayes was a key reserve who helped Houston take the Lakers to seven games in the NBA Western Conference semifinals. Azubuike started 51 games for the Warriors, averaging 14.4 points a game.
Then there's Crawford, who stayed four seasons, finishing his collegiate career on a high in 2008. Yet it was the 58th pick before the L.A. Lakers took Crawford in last year's draft. He failed to make the Lakers roster, spent time in the D-League, and ended up playing two games for the New York Knicks.
Point is, the trio had to pay their dues outside the league before working their way inside the league, and the guess here is that Meeks will have to do the same. Just not sure another year in college will help his stock all that much.
So maybe the Georgia native figured it was better to start now, when he can do it and get paid for it, where he can do it against competition that might elevate his game.
What does this mean for the current Cats? No team loses a three-year veteran and top scorer and is the better for it. Yet Calipari and Co. are likely to muddle through somehow.
Remember, Meeks would have been learning a new offense just as John Wall, Eric Bledsoe, DeMarcus Cousins, Daniel Orton, Darnell Dodson, and the holdovers will all be playing in a new offense. Even had Meeks stayed, a learning curve would have been required.
But the best point of comparison is Meeks' teammate from last season.
Patrick Patterson initially placed his name in the NBA Draft hopper, as well. But the junior-to-be shut down the evaluation process practically before it began. He wanted to stay in college, have some fun, play in an NCAA Tournament. Patterson's heart wasn't in turning pro.
Meeks' heart is obviously in a different place, a place that tells him it's time to move on. Given that, he made the right choice.

The first time the Santa Clara-based Arabian Shakespeare Festival performed "Romeo and Juliet" for students at the United Arab Emirates University, in 2010, there were gasps in the audience. In a culture where men and women never touch in public, the sight of actors holding hands on stage was risque. Watching the young lovers share a kiss was nothing less than shocking.
When the company staged parts of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" there last year, the room, a sea of women cloaked in traditional robes and headscarves exploded in debate about the role of patriarchy in society.
"It was unforgettable. The way they responded was amazing," says William J. Brown, the company's founder and artistic director. "It sparked a conversation that lasted an hour about the relationship between fathers and daughters."
Such is the brave new world for Arabian Shakespeare, whose goal is to use the Bard and other playwrights to build a cultural bridge between the U.S. and the Middle East. Exploring cultural taboos is the stock in trade of this troupe, which was launched in 2010 by a group of South Bay actors and directors. For Brown, the sound of debate is sweeter than any standing ovation.
Now, after two trips to the Middle East to stage the immortal works of Shakespeare, the company is bringing a hard-hitting Kuwaiti political parable to the Bay Area for its American premiere.
"There's a real need for this kind of theater right now," says San Jose State professor Matthew Spangler, who adapted the play. "As the world gets smaller and smaller, we need theater that tells global stories because we need to understand each other better."
Hussain Al Musalam's "A Message," a biting satire about the need for religious and social tolerance, is making its U.S. debut at San Francisco's Royce Theater, where it plays through Nov. 17. With tensions high between the U.S. and much of the Middle East, these thespians are hoping to get beyond issues of religion, ethnicity and culture to explore the universality of the human experience through the power of theater.
"Just hearing a Kuwaiti point of view, which is not something we are often exposed to, is very powerful," Spangler says. "There's nothing like theater to make you care about people outside of your own experience. Theater, of all the art forms, can bring people together despite diverse points of view and gets us to the point where we empathize."
"A Message" takes place in an airport in Lagos, Nigeria, in 2030 as the country explodes into civil unrest and U.S. troops are en route to protect its oil supply.
"It's an allegory about American intervention overseas that speaks to what is happening today in Afghanistan and Iraq," Spangler says.
While Brown has no interest in preachy political theater, he is hoping to provoke discussion of the American role abroad as well as the need for tolerance.
"The Middle East isn't as far off as it sounds, and we are not as dissimilar as we might think," says Brown, who plays John, a U.S. private, in the play. "We strive to show that despite the stereotypes present in the media, we are not so different after all."
Al Musalam, a well-known playwright and scholar in Kuwait, says that without this adventurous troupe, which operates on a modest $35,000 annual budget and often uses Kickstarter to raise funds, there would be no way an Arab Muslim writer could share his work with American audiences, which is his goal.
"I want them to reflect on their position as an American society," the playwright says in an email. "The play might contribute to changing some of their personal convictions … it may lead to human awareness, longing to meet the 'other.' "
Indeed, the play's not the thing here. This is not a case of art for art's sake. The point is to get beyond surface differences to examine the core of the human condition. If all goes well with this production, Brown hopes to remount this adaptation in Kuwait.
"That's the beauty of art," says Aldo Billingslea, professor of drama at Santa Clara University who is an associate artist with the festival. "It can help break down stereotypes, celebrate our differences and identify our similarities."

Like all things in life, cruise ship deck plans do change in time. Often, cruise lines change facilities and public venues - their location, type (services and amenities) or names. Other changes may relate to new cabin categories. Often, after a major refurbishment, cruise lines add to the ship:
- new passenger cabins.
- new dining venues - specialty restaurants, bars, lounges, etc.
- new facilities - aqua park, water-slide(s), Spa, pool(s) / whirlpool(s), outdoor movie theater, etc or - simply change the names of the existing ones.
Talking of balconies, a balcony cabin does cost more than an inside or oceanview cabin, but for a extra few dollars a day a balcony cabin more than repays the cost in quality of cruise life – you have uncrowded sea and port views, fresh air whenever you want, and the luxury of privacy. Go for cruise ship cabin plans first.

Dolce & Gabbana's floral-print dresses are always a favourite among celebrities, but this particular baby-doll sundress infused with a summer-fruits print and subtle sequin detailing has been donned by three lovely ladies this summer.
Lea Seydoux gave this frock and the Christian Louboutin 'Lagoula' sandals their red carpet debut at the Cannes Film Festival photocall for her movie 'La Vie D'Adele'.
Dolce devotee Julia Restoin Roitfeld kept the summery vibe of her dress going with a white Dolce bag and light-green wedges.
Finally, Sienna Miller attended the BMW i3 Global Reveal event, styling her frock with Charlotte Olympia 'Sugar High' sandals, opulent earrings and a watermelon lip colour.
This is one of the hardest WWIB posts I have ever done. Each lady wore it – and, most importantly, styled it – well.
I wanted to give this to Julia for considering the colour palette of her dress when selecting her accessories, but in the end I gave this win to Lea. Mostly because her styling was the most simple and effortless, allowing the dress to be the focus.

Carlo Maria Giulini Quotes
My intention always has been to arrive at human contact without enforcing authority. A musician, after all, is not a mili- tary officer. What matters most is human contact. The great mys- tery of music making requires real friendship among those who work together. Every member of the orchestra knows I am with him and her in my heart.

BROOKFIELD, Wis.-As the housing market goes, so goes the economy. Therefore credit unions located in some of the hardest-hit economic areas of the country should enjoy improved bottom lines this year.
That analysis comes from David Stiff, chief economist at Fiserv, who noted that many of the markets experiencing the greatest housing price declines during the recession are now showing the greatest gains.
"That's a pattern we are seeing," said Stiff, referring to Fiserv Case-Shiller Indexes. "For example, Phoenix home prices are up nearly 15% year over year and Arizona, overall, is at a 12.7% increase. We are seeing turnarounds in Detroit (11.6%) and San Jose, California (9%), many markets that were poster children for the mortgage collapse.
What's reversing fortunes in the troubled areas is they are no longer dominated by foreclosure sales and have returned to a more "traditional" home sale market, said Stiff. He added that in Florida-excluding pockets like Miami where home sales are up 7% year over year-prices largely remain depressed in many areas because foreclosures are backlogged and awaiting sale due to a slow-moving legal system in the Sunshine state. Stiff added that home prices in Las Vegas continue to fall.
Back from the Bubble
Overall, said Stiff, the U.S. housing markets have started along a path of slow but sustainable recovery. Fiserv predicts that markets will improve slowly, especially at the start of 2013, projecting growth to be at an annualized rate of 3.3% from mid-2012 through the second quarter of 2017.
"The real estate market in the spring and summer of 2012 was the strongest since the peak of the bubble. There now is strong evidence for a slow, sustainable recovery," said Stiff.
Average U.S. home prices in the second quarter of 2012 increased 1.2% from the year-ago quarter, marking the first year-over-year increase in home prices since 2006, excluding the impact of the Federal home buyer's tax credit in 2010, noted Stiff. Overall, the 2012 spring and summer real estate market was the strongest since the peak of the housing bubble, he said.
Stiff has more encouraging lending news for CUs, noting that borrowing for durable goods is up, too. "We are starting to see that now, people buying washing machines and refrigerators, typically items that correspond with a home purchase. This is a good sign the general economy is improving, as well as the credit worthiness of borrowers."
Stiff added the recovery in auto sales last year was a forerunner of the home sales turnaround, a sign that consumers first felt enough confidence in their jobs and the economy to buy a new vehicle, and then homes.

As the characteristic dimensions of electronic devices continue to shrink, the ability to characterize their electronic properties at the nanometer scale has come to be of outstanding importance. In this sense, Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) is becoming an indispensable tool, playing a key role in nanoscience and nanotechnology. SPM is opening new opportunities to measure semiconductor electronic properties with unprecedented spatial resolution. SPM is being successfully applied for nanoscale characterization of ferroelectric thin films. In the area of functional molecular materials it is being used as a probe to contact molecular structures in order to characterize their electrical properties, as a manipulator to assemble nanoparticles and nanotubes into simple devices, and as a tool to pattern molecular nanostructures. This book provides in-depth information on new and emerging applications of SPM to the field of materials science, namely in the areas of characterisation, device application and nanofabrication of functional materials. Starting with the general properties of functional materials the authors present an updated overview of the fundamentals of Scanning Probe Techniques and the application of SPM techniques to the characterization of specified functional materials such as piezoelectric and ferroelectric and to the fabrication of some nano electronic devices. Its uniqueness is in the combination of the fundamental nanoscale research with the progress in fabrication of realistic nanodevices. By bringing together the contribution of leading researchers from the materials science and SPM communities, relevant information is conveyed that allows researchers to learn more about the actual developments in SPM applied to functional materials. This book will contribute to the continuous education and development in the field of nanotechnology.

Dream meaning SkunkNow if you want to know about the symbol skunk, then skunk has different meanings too. Skunk refers to some kind of animal and all animal have different interpretation. If we study generally then by seeing animal in dream means danger, emotions. The character of animal is symbolized by us; it may be good or bad. Animals symbolize unconscious relations of us. It may tell us about the clue for future or it may forbid us to do any work.
Basically skunk symbolizes the anger that is exploiting you. It may want to tell you that your anger is suppressing you.
Skunk also identifies that you want to move people away from you. You want that they turned back from you. You donât want to live with the people and you are trying to push out from your life. It may be for all the people or it may be for specific person that also depend on dreamerâs personality.
Skunk also means that you are not revealing your true feelings in front of others. You are trying to hide your feelings even you know that you are right. It is also the case that you are not agreeing with others opinion but still you donât want to share your feelings.
So skunk basically symbolizes the anger toward life or people. Skunk identifies the hidden feelings of man, it means that man donât want to reflect his inner self toward people. He wants to live within his own shedder.
The people saw bear, snake, rat, pig and any other animal in their dreams. All are different for different people. The interpretation of skunk is difficult due to the reason that each animal has its own characteristic and interpretation is made as like.
Dreaming never ends but it is necessary that one should donât wear the danger of these dreams, just they give you guide to make your life better and to tell you that what is happening next. It tells about your inner self, it tells you that what are you doing is wrong or right, this is all about dreaming but one thing should kept in mind that some dreams have no meaning as they are only the psychological effect of your un rest mind.

I dreamt I was watching 2 men from afar dressed in thick coats. They were capturing a wild skunk. One of the men was native American and he held it to his face and it sprayed him. The skunk then got loose. Everyone started running from it, so I started calling for it (like you'd call for a dog) and it followed me. I lured it to a gate to escape back to the wilderness. It passed through the gate and snapped at me once it got through. This dream has me so puzzled.

I dreamt about 3 skunk stuffed animals. One was one of those flat tug a war toys, one was skinny and messy and looked like it was sad, one was beautiful (and it was one of my stuffed animals) and I was in a horrible place I used to live in only it was worse. It was darker, messier, I was chained down, abused, not aloud to talk to anyone, etc. I grabbed my skunk stuffed animal and escaped. I think it meant I got out of hell and my life's getting better. My friend also dreamt of a skunk too which is weird. And a frog. The same night too which is even weirder.

totally agree with this, had a dream that a white skunk sprayed me, i could feel the mist all over my skin and it kind of stung. i am tried of the people i surround myself with and desperately want a change, but feel that i can't express it in any way. at the same time i'm absolutely disturbed by the political state of our country and the irresponsible actions of our voters, the GOP and the media, and there's nothing that one man can do about it.

The reader needs a working knowledge of HTML and JavaScript. The first chapter is a tutorial on various aspects of canvas and the second chapter is a reference resource that gives the book its name. One cool thing I found is that despite being a "Pocket Reference", there are code examples too.
The examples are simple and help those just starting to play with canvas. I recommend this book for those who will or already working with canvas. A reference guide is essential for anyone working with this technology.

What is High Impedance?
High impedance is expressed as "Hi-Z". Specifically, it is a state that may occur during operation of a digital circuit in a MOS device when a signal from outside is cut off, or when an I/O alternate-function pin switches to input mode. This state is used to avoid signal collision when multiple outputs are connected to one signal line. Internally, only a very small leakage current flows along that signal line and "the signal line is in a floating state" is generally said.
Note that an input pin connected to a signal line which has no other driving sources becomes a floating state, and through-current may flow in the input buffer. In this case, the input pin requires special care for such as pull-up.

Make a well in the centre and add the beaten egg, milk and water. Whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture into a jug and refrigerate, covered, for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to gas mark 8, 230C, fan 210C. Place a little fat or oil in each of the compartments of a Yorkshire pudding tray or a 12-hole cupcake tray. Put in the oven and allow to heat for 5 minutes. Give the batter a final mix just before removing the tray. Carefully pour the batter into the compartments, being careful not to overfill. Bake for 25 minutes or until the puddings have risen and are golden brown. Tip: To make these suitable for vegetarians, use vegetable oil instead of goose fat. Freezing and defrosting guidelines Cook as instructed and allow to cool completely. Then transfer to an airtight, freezer-safe container, seal and freeze for up to 1-3 months. To reheat, place the puddings on a baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes in a moderate oven until crisp. See more Roast dinner ideas

With a few simple tips and tricks your bathroom will be looking a million dollars in a flash.
Roll up
Instead of folding towels try rolling them and placing them on a large tray or in a box for a holiday feel.
Light the way
Group simple candles together, either in a row or clustered together depending on your space.
There's no need to buy huge bouquets of flowers to make an impact. A single stem of your favourite bloom or even a branch with beautiful leaves placed in a jar will look understated and elegant.
Scented oils will keep the bathroom smelling divine and inviting. Choose calming or reinvigorating oils to suit your mood.
A stylish laundry basket will keep towels off the floor and keep things looking neat and tidy.
Potions and lotions
While it's best to hide away unattractive bottles of half used products, empty perfume bottles and gorgeous jars grouped together look elegant and add visual interest.
Hand wash comes in some stunning packaging these days, look for refills to keep your favourite bottle topped up rather than buying new jars each time.
While putting your favourite/ most valuable artwork in the bathroom may not be for you, hanging a simple framed print (even of a postcard) adds a luxe touch.

Last week we talked to Smith Westerns frontman Cullen Omori about his band's forthcoming LP, Soft Will, which is definitely (for me, anyway) one of the summer's most anticipated new releases. We've already heard two tracks from the album — "Varsity" and "3AM Spiritual" — and they're both excellent. Now, we've got one more before the thing drops in earnest in two weeks. "Idol" is a gauzy, blissful update of '70s AM-radio pop: a little bit ELO, a little bit Big Star. Yeah, it's pretty great. Listen, and peep tour dates, below.
