Bloke, slang term for a man, is popular in the United Kingdom, and South Africa, widely used in Australia and New Zealand, and rarely in the United States. In Australia a bloke is a unique masculine archetype ( The concept of an archetype [ˈɑrkitaɪp] is found in areas relating to behavior, modern psychological theory, and literary analysis. An archetype can be…: …a statement, pattern of behavior, or prototype which other statements, patterns of behavior, and objects copy or emulate; … …a Platonic philosophical idea referring to pure forms which embody the fundamental characteristics of a thing; ……a collectively-inherited unconscious idea, pattern of thought, image, etc., that is universally present in individual psyches, as in Jungian psychology; … …or a constantly recurring symbol or motif in literature, painting, or mythology (this usage of the term draws from both comparative anthropology and Jungian archetypal theory. In the first sense, many more informal terms are frequently used instead, such as "standard example" or "basic example", and the longer form "archetypal example" is also found. In mathematics, an archetype is often called a "canonical example". ) associated with the country's national identity. The 'Aussie bloke' has been portrayed in important works of art and associated with famous Australians. Sociologist Catrino Elder says in Being Australian (2008) that the 'Aussie bloke' is part of the Australian national identity: ..it is often suggested that nations are made up of 'types' of people. National identity is seen to be based on what are considered shared character traits often deriving from history. A good Australian example is the idea of the 'Aussie bloke' and the belief that this type of person is unique to Australia. Many Australians today would no longer associate with Ward's archetypal bloke without some irony, yet it still lives on outside Australia. 6. 马航失事: Emotions are running high as Beijing blamed Kuala Lumpur for a lack of information, while tearful relatives of the 153 Chinese passengers aboard voiced frustration at all sides of 各个方面 the response effort. China said Malaysia needed to "step up" its efforts after authorities admitted they were mystified. "The Malaysian side cannot shirk its responsibilities," the Global Times newspaper, which is close to the ruling Communist Party, wrote in a scathing editorial. "The initial response from Malaysia was not swift enough." The United States has sent an FBI team to help investigate the passengers, but US officials stressed there was as yet no evidence of terrorism. A team of Chinese officials from government ministries also headed for Malaysia today, tasked with investigating the incident and helping family members already there. 8. Yikes!

While racing thoughts are most commonly described in people with bipolar disorder, they are also common with anxiety disorders, such as OCD and psychiatric disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Racing thoughts are also associated with use of amphetamines, sleep deprivation, as well as hypothyroidism. Racing thoughts may be experienced as background or take over a person's consciousness. Thoughts, music, and voices might be zooming through one's mind. There also might be a repetitive pattern of voice or of pressure without any associated "sound". It is a very overwhelming and irritating feeling, and can result in losing track of time. Generally, racing thoughts are described by an individual who has had an episode as an event where the mind uncontrollably brings up random thoughts and memories and switches between them very quickly. Sometimes they are related, as one thought leads to another; other times they are completely random. A person suffering from an episode of racing thoughts has no control over his or her train of thought and it stops them from focusing on one topic or prevents sleeping. Racing thoughts, also referred to as "racing mind", may prevent a person from falling asleep.) and bad for those prone to anxiety?

'Hey, you need to vacuum up those dust bunnies!!" wiki:Dust bunnies (or dustbunnies), also called dust mice, are
small clumps of dust that form under furniture and in corners that are
not cleaned regularly. They are made of hair, lint, dead skin, spider
webs, dust, and sometimes light rubbish and debris, and are held
together by static electricity and felt-like ( felt 羊绒, 毛毡 thick soft cloth made from wool, hair, or fur fibres that have been rolled and pressed flat. a felt hat. felt-tip pen a pen that has a piece of felt as its writing point. ) entanglement. They can house dust mites or other parasites, and can lower the
efficiency of dust filters by clogging. The movement of a single
large particle can start the formation of a dust bunny. Dust
bunnies are harmful to electronics, as they can obstruct air flow
through heat sinks, raising temperatures significantly, and therefore
shortening the life of electronic components. A
trademark for "Dustbunny" was registered in 2006 for the "Dustbunny
Cleaner", a robotic ball with an electrostatic sleeve that rolls around
under furniture to collect dust bunnies and other material. Dust bunnies have been used as an analogy for the accretion of cosmic matter in planetoids. 2. lint 细绒毛(laundry lint) I.

How to Reduce and Remove Laundry Lint on Clothes: So, which is worse - dark lint on white clothes or white lint on dark clothes? It really doesn't matter because lint never looks good. Lint can happen when you wear something that sheds 脱毛, sit on something that sheds or wash other clothes with a shedder. I've put together some tips to help you prevent lint from happening and getting rid of it when it does happen. It all begins with how you sort your laundry. Some fabrics are lint shedders(lint giver, lint taker. lint shedder, lint receiver), others are lint receivers爱吸毛的人 and the two should not be washed together. Of course, it is best to sort lint shedders by color as well. To prevent lint from depositing ( deposit v. I. formal to put or leave something somewhere. They deposited their suitcases at the hotel. II. to pay money into a bank account. Billions of dollars are deposited in banks every day. III. to put something valuable in a safe place. IV. if a substance is deposited in the soil or in rock, it gradually gathers there and forms a layer. These sediments were deposited by floods thousands of years ago. safety/safe deposit box (银行, 邮局里的)保险箱, 小金库 a small box that is usually kept in a bank, used for storing valuable possessions. an individually secured container, usually held within a larger safe or bank vault. Safe deposit boxes are generally located in banks, post offices or other institutions. Safe deposit boxes are used to store valuable possessions, such as gemstones, precious metals, currency, marketable securities, important documents such as wills, property deeds, and birth certificates, or computer data storage that need protection from theft, fire, flood, tampering, or other perils. When renting out a safe deposit box in a bank in the United States does not mean that the property is automatically insured. A cash register 收款台, also referred to as a till in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries, is a mechanical or electronic device for registering and calculating transactions. It is usually attached to a drawer for storing cash and other valuables. The cash register is also usually attached to a printer, that can print out receipts for record keeping purposes. A safe (宾馆里的保险箱就叫safe) (also called a strongbox or coffer) is a secure lockable box used for securing valuable objects against theft and/or damage from fire. A safe is usually a hollow cuboid or cylinder, with one face being removable or hinged to form a door. The body and door may be cast from metal (such as steel) or formed out of plastic through blow molding. Bank teller safes typically are secured to the counter, have a slit opening for dropping valuables into the safe without opening it, and a time-delay combination lock to foil robbers. One significant distinction between types of safes is whether the safe is secured to a wall 固定在墙上 or structure or if it can be moved around. A less secure version (only suitable for petty cash) is usually called a cash-box. ) on the outside of clothing, wash garments inside out. However, if you have a garment that is covered with lint (a white shirt worn under a black sweater), wash it with the right side out to help lint escape. A lint brush or lint roller绒毛沾, 绒毛刷 is an essential in the closet, your desk, your purse and in your car. For quick touch-ups there is nothing better. If you don't have one, you can use tape wrapped around your hand with the sticky side out to remove lint. If a garment has lots of lint and you don't have time to wash it or dry clean it, use a clothes steamer in addition to the lint brush. The dampness will help remove the static that holds the lint more tightly to the fabric. 3. dish-washing cloth 老外没有专门的抹布, 常用洗盘子的不当作抹布使用. steel wool 类

These fluffy things are from Willow or poplar(杨树) catkins. Catkin is a long hanging furry (毛绒绒的, 名词 fur ) cluster簇束 of tiny leaves and flowers without petals, produced by trees such as willows, birches, alders, and poplars. Willow catkins start drifting in the air飘荡在空中
normally in April. People are warned to wear veils, masks or sunglasses
while going outside during the season when catkins from willow and
poplar trees float in the air, as they pose potential risks to the health of people's respiratory tract呼吸道. Another weird thing is there were people pushing wheelbarrows推着独轮车 on the street, hitting a bucket every now and then - what is this? People riding bicycle carts or pushing wheelbarrow were banging empty buckets to attract your attention and buy your household scrap废品. Vendors usually used other methods of advertising their services or wares.
But they may also be some kind of craftsman, handyman, buyer and
seller. In Beijing you get knife-sharpers, scrap merchants, etc. 5. Go take a quick, hot shower and immediately dry off擦干 and put on clean clothes. You'll feel better and cooler, OK?? With a cold, damp flannel placed on your forehead(Flannel 法兰绒. 羊毛或腈纶/棉的织品(多为格子的) is a soft woven fabric, of various fineness. Flannel was originally made from carded wool or worsted yarn, but is now often made from either wool, cotton, or synthetic fibre. Flannel may be brushed to create extra softness or remain unbrushed. The brushing process is a mechanical process where a fine metal brush rubs the fabric to create fine fibers from the loosely spun yarns. Typically, flannel has either a single- or double-sided nap(Primarily, nap is the raised (fuzzy) surface毛茸茸的表面, 毛绒绒的面料 on certain kinds of cloth, such as velvet. Nap can refer additionally to other surfaces that look like the surface of a napped cloth, such as the surface of a felt or beaver hat. beaver hat狸鼠毛的帽子:A beaver hat is a hat made from felted beaver fur.

机械工具: 1. nut是螺帽, bolt是螺栓, screw是螺丝和螺栓的通称. tap and die是分别用来制作公和母螺丝的工具: Taps and dies are cutting tools used to create screw threads, which is called threading. A tap is used to cut the female portion of the mating pair (e.g., a nut). A tap cuts a thread on the inside surface of a hole, creating a female surface which functions like a nut. A die is used to cut the male portion of the mating pair (e.g., a bolt). The process of cutting threads using a tap is called tapping( 在母螺丝里刻出螺纹来), whereas the process using a die is called threading(在公螺丝里刻出螺纹来). Both tools can be used to clean up a thread, which is called chasing. 2. A self-tapping screw(不需要母螺丝里有螺纹, 而能自动弄出螺纹的螺丝) is a screw that can tap its own hole as it is driven into it. For hard substrates (I. 培养基. The material or substance on which an enzyme acts. A surface on which an organism grows or is attached. II. An underlying layer; a substratum. the foundation on which an integrated electronic circuit is formed or fabricated. ) such as metal or hard plastics, the self-tapping ability is often created by cutting a gap in the continuity of the thread on the screw, generating a flute and cutting edge similar to those on a tap. Thus, whereas a regular machine screw cannot tap its own hole in a metal substrate, a self-tapping one can (within reasonable limits of substrate hardness and depth). For softer substrates such as wood or soft plastics, the self-tapping ability can come simply from a tip that tapers to a gimlet point (in which no flute is needed). Like the tip of a nail or gimlet, such a point forms the hole by displacement of the surrounding material rather than any chip-forming drilling/cutting/evacuating action. Some self-tapping screws are also self-drilling, which means that, in addition to the tap-like flute in the leading threads, there is also a preliminary drill-like fluted tip that looks much like the tip of a center drill. These screws combine a thrilling-like action and the fastener installation itself into only one driving motion (instead of separate drilling, tapping, and installing motions); they are thus very efficient in a variety of hard-substrate applications, from assembly lines to roofing. 3. double ended screw; dowel screw; hanger bolt: Similar to a wood screw but with two pointed ends and no head, used for making hidden joints between two pieces of wood. A hanger bolt has wood screw threads on one end and machine threads on the other. A hanger bolt is used when it is necessary to fasten a metal part to a wood surface. wood screw木螺丝: A metal screw with a sharp point designed to attach two pieces of wood together. Wood screws are commonly available with flat, pan or oval-heads. A wood screw generally has a partially unthreaded shank 有一段没有螺纹 below the head. The unthreaded portion of the shank is designed to slide through the top board (closest to the screw head) so that it can be pulled tight to the board it is being attached to. Sheet metal screw: Has sharp threads that cut into a material such as sheet metal, plastic or wood. They are sometimes notched at the tip to aid in chip removal during thread cutting. The shank is usually threaded up to the head. Sheet metal screws make excellent fasteners for attaching metal hardware to wood because the fully threaded shank provides good retention in wood.

The 20-year-old singer was called to answer questions relating to an incident where his security guard allegedly attacked photographer Jeffrey Binion in Miami. The tape, obtained by TMZ, shows Bieber to be both apathetic( (ˌæpəˈθɛtɪk) 面无表情的. having or showing little or no emotion; indifferent. ) and arrogant when questioned on a number of issues including his alleged addiction to Xanax. During the deposition Bieber was asked by the Binion's lawyer if he had a prescription for the anti-anxiety medication. Before the singer's lawyer could object, Bieber admitted that he did not. The question could come back to bite Bieber(come back to bite you If something will come back to bite you, it will cause problems for you in the future. If something will come back to bite you, it will become a bigger problem in the future because you have not dealt with it: If I don't do something now, the issue might come back to bite me. Her unpleasant remarks may well come back to bite her later. ), who is also facing a DUI charge after testing positive for Xanax. The singer had originally claimed his mother had provided him with the drug. Other snippets from the cringe-worthy deposition include Bieber struggling to recall if he had ever been to Australia. A sly-grin ( sly grin: Showing in an insinuating smile that shows to have some secret knowledge that may be harmful or embarrassing to the person the grin is aimed at. He turned to her showing a sly grin. sly I. Having or showing a cunning and deceitful nature: a sly, manipulative woman. on the sly In a secretive fashion: she was drinking on the sly. ) appears on the singer's face when he is asked if he has ever travelled Down Under to which he shrugs: "I don't know if I've been to Australia. Have I been to Australia?'" The singer toured Australia in November last year. The final straw for Bieber arises when he is questioned about his ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez. Binion's lawyer asks: "Have you ever talked to Selena Gomez and discussed your feelings about paparazzi?"
