The first word in the title can be read either as "Ningyou" (this is the traditional reading) which means "doll," or as "Karakuri" (as indicated by the hiragana beside the Kanji) which means "clockwork" The second word is "Zoushi" which can be translated as "book collection" or "story anthology" The third word in the title is "Ayatsuri," meaning "puppet" or "manipulation" This whole thing directly.

It simply means "airport" in German. A simple name in the same way as the Airport movies. Being an aviation fan, it is one of the first German words I learned. When it was released in September 2000, the flight story's full title was: "Flughafen: Flight to Düsseldorf". The game would be too easy if the right answers were revealed right away.

Hemingway took "For Whom The Bell Tolls" from "Meditation 17" of John Donne's (1572-1631) work Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions. The tolling of the bell refers to the act of ringing a bell (the death knell) at a funeral to indicate that someone has died. Hemingway is drawing a parallel between the death of one person and the consequent affect on everyone, and the loss of Spain to the fascists in the Spanish Civil War.

PM Saturday, May 2nd, 1863 Jackson was wounded at the battle of Chancellorsville. He was shot through the left upper arm just beneath the shoulder. The humerus was fractured--the rachial artery was injured. He bled profusely. A second bullet entered the lateral left upper forearm and exited diagonally from the medial lower third of the forearm. A third bullet struck his right hand fracturing the second and third metacarpal bones and lodged beneath the skin on the back of his hand.

This means the title is a pre-book with no street date or final price (hence not final price). This means when a price is announced the price will be adjusted to suit. The final price you pay in this instance could be higher or lower than the advertised price. This gives you the option to pre-book a movie you have seen without having to wait for it to be announced.

Quentin Tarantino doesn't typically answer this question directly, saying that he likes it when people come up with their own definitions for the phrase. He has called it "more of a mood title than anything else." One popular and oft-told story about the origin of the title is that former video store employee Tarantino used to mangle the title of the French film Au revoir, les enfants, and his mispronounciation gave birth to the phrase Reservoir Dogs.

I love this novel -- which is hardly surprising. And the title is certainly one of the mysteries of the book, an open-ended question that everyone deserves a chance to work out on their own. However, since more than a few people write in to seek answers, I can point you to a pair of helpful resources. One is "Postscript to The Name of the Rose," a long essay written by Umberto Eco himself, discussing the book, its title, and his theory of titling novels as well.

The title "Urusei Yatsura" is a Japanese play on words. There isn't any English equivalent to this complex multi-leveled pun, so we must explain it in detail to understand it. The first word urusei is a mispronunciation or dialectic slurring of the Japanese word urusai which means "annoying," "noisy" or "obnoxious" yatsu is an informal way of saying "person" while -ra is simply one way of making a word plural.

In Japan, there is a very large direct to video market (more so than here in the US, though that is slowly changing). Many Anime series start life as an OVA, or Original Video Animation, and are released directly to the home video market. Sometimes it works the other way when a popular TV series will be followed on or continued by a shorter OVA release. Tenchi Muyo is a great example of a series that has seen production in every format.

FOP stands for Forced Output Power, which allows the instrument to go to a user set output level when switching from automatic to manual mode.

Literally, it's the hat that the narrator's grandmother is forced by her husband to burn after, symbolically speaking, all love and romance has died in their marriage. It's related to the physical abuse that existed in Katherine's grandmother Naomi's marriage. So, the title Burning of the Marriage Hat is about physical abuse and a woman's ability or inability to walk away from a marriage where physical abuse governs her life.

A Title I school is a school that receives funding from Title I, Part A, of NCLBA. This money is distributed by Supervisory Unions/Districts and is used to provide additional services to those students not meeting the standards or at greatest risk of not meeting the standards.

Well, I use it as an indicator to denote that page is a “Working Document”, or a document that is still been worked on.

It could be translated as "The black night of wrath", from latin Ira (wrath), Nox (night), and the greek prefix Melan- (black).

This means that this item is expected to be released in that month. It's just an expectation, so it could happen that there's a delay in the release.

Bakumatsu refers to the period of roughly 1853 to 1867-8 in Japan. It means "end of Shogunate" because that is what happened at that time. (See below as to what shogunate means) Kikansetsu means something like a "theory of governance/power" (It literally means "theory of organisation"). Here, it refers to the structure where anyone who can control the Conqueror's Head gets ultimate power.
