Most estimates put the invention of the umbrella at over 3,000 years ago.

各种眼睛状况: 1. An affix词缀 is a morpheme that is attached to a word stem to form a new word. Affixes may be derivational, like English -ness and pre-, or inflectional, like English plural -s and past tense -ed. They are bound morphemes by definition; prefixes and suffixes may be separable affixes. Affixation is, thus, the linguistic process speakers use to form different words by adding morphemes (affixes) at the beginning (prefixation), the middle (infixation) or the end (suffixation) of words. 2. presby-, presbyo- prefix meaning "aging or being elderly": presbyacusia, presbyatrics, presbyopia. myo-, my-, prefix meaning "muscle": myocardia, myocele, myolipoma, myopia. 3. hyperopia [ˌhaɪpəˈrəupɪə] 远视(myopia近视) n. (Pathology) inability to see near objects clearly because the images received by the eye are focused behind the retina; long-sightedness. Also called: hypermetropia or hypermetropy. presbyopia老花眼 [ˌprɛzbɪˈəupɪə] a progressively diminishing ability of the eye to focus, noticeable from middle to old age, caused by loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens. Inability of the eye, due to ageing, to focus on nearby objects; farsightedness. 3. Presbyopia is a condition associated with aging in which the eye exhibits a progressively diminished ability to focus on near objects. Presbyopia's exact mechanisms are not fully understood; research evidence most strongly supports a loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens, although changes in the lens' curvature from continual growth and loss of power of the ciliary muscles (the muscles that bend and straighten the lens) have also been postulated ( postulate [ˈpostjuleɪt] to claim or imagine that something is true or that it exists. The theory postulates two reasons for the spread of the disease.) as its cause. 4. Macular degeneration老年黄斑变性, often age-related macular degeneration (AMD or ARMD), is a medical condition that usually affects older adults and results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field (the macula) because of damage to the retina(cornea [ˈkɔ:(r)niə] 眼角膜 the transparent layer that covers the outside of your eye. retina [ˈretɪnə] 视网膜 the part at the back of your eye that sends light signals to your brain, where they are changed into images.). It occurs in "dry" and "wet" forms. It is a major cause of blindness and visual impairment in older adults (>50 years). Macular degeneration can make it difficult or impossible to read or recognize faces, although enough peripheral vision remains to allow other activities of daily life. Although some macular dystrophies affecting younger individuals are sometimes referred to as macular degeneration, the term generally refers to age-related macular degeneration (AMD or ARMD). The retina is a network of visual receptors and nerves. It lies on the choroid, a network of blood vessels which supplies the retina with blood. In the dry (nonexudative) form, cellular debris called drusen accumulates between the retina and the choroid, and the retina can become detached. In the wet (exudative) form, which is more severe, blood vessels grow up from the choroid behind the retina, and the retina can also become detached. It can be treated with laser coagulation, and with medication that stops and sometimes reverses the growth of blood vessels. 5. eye of the tiger 豹子眼: 歌词 I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire.

Eye misalignment or eyes that do not move normallly, caused by extraocular muscle imbalance. One fovea is not directed at the same object as the other. Strabismus 斜视, 斜眼 ([strəˈbɪzməs]), also known as heterotropia, is a condition in which the eyes are not properly aligned with each other. It typically involves a lack of coordination between the extraocular muscles, which prevents bringing the gaze of each eye to the same point in space, thus hampers proper binocular vision, and which may adversely affect depth perception. 7. 斗鸡眼, 对眼是crossed eyes. cocked eyes是指两眼不协调的, 斜眼的, 眼睛脱窗那种(=wonky eyes). 8. Amblyopia, also called lazy eye弱视, is a disorder of sight. It involves decreased vision in an eye that otherwise appears normal, or out of proportion to associated structural problems of the eye; there is much more 'damage to' or impact on vision in that eye than is predicted, even though the eye doesn't look completely normal. This disorder has been estimated to affect 1-5% of the population. In amblyopia, visual stimulation either fails to be or is poorly transmitted through the optic nerve to the brain for a continuous period of time. It can also occur when the brain "turns off" the visual processing of one eye to prevent double-vision重影, for example in strabismus (crossed eyes). It often occurs during early childhood and results in poor or blurry vision. Detecting the condition in early childhood increases the chance of successful treatment, especially if detected before the age of five. The earlier it is detected, and the underlying cause corrected with glasses or surgery, the better the long term outcomes. 9. wonky not straight, steady, or firmly fixed in position. a wonky desk. wonky eye 歪眼的, 眼睛脱窗的 an

Strabismus is often referred to as "lazy eye", or known as amblyopia. In fact, amblyopia refers to the brain's ignoring input from one eye, which itself can result from discordance 不一致, 不同步 in the images provided by the eyes such as occurs in constant unilateral strabismus. It is also referred to as "crossed eyes", "wandering eyes", or having a "cast".
"Cross-eyed" means that when a person with strabismus looks at an
object, one eye fixes on the object and the other fixes with a
convergence angle less than zero; the optic axes overconverge. "Wall-eyed"
means that when a person with strabismus looks at an object, one eye
fixes on the object and the other fixes with a convergence angle greater
than zero; that is, the optic axes diverge from parallel. 11. oblique [ou'bli:k] (oblique line斜线. slash斜线, backslash反斜线) I. a.

A Very Screwing 操蛋的 Situation( Some of the religions could be very screwing.): I've been dating the same guy for the last three and a half years. Within the last year things have been extremely rocky. He's broken up with me for multiple reasons but always has came back. Whether it him wanting to see what it's like to date another girl, to the lack of trust we have. He's very indecisive. He tried convincing me that he has changed and even proposed. I gave into temptation and cheated on my current boyfriend. Something I have never done and am strongly morally against. I couldn't take it anymore and told my ex-boyfriend that I was going to break up with the boy so we could work on our issues. The same night I did this he had a get-together at his house (I was out of town). I texted his friend asking if he was behaving (my ex wasn't texting back) and I got a reply, "He's busy motorboating some chick right now." I as you can imagine, I was upset at that. He flipped a nut on me(to flip out in real serious way but technically lower than "goin postal".) for texting his friend and me being upset about it. So he called it quits with me. He said he was totally done because me doing that reminded of him why we weren't together.
off-the-plan properties投资楼花: Many buy off the plan as an investment, but purchasing fresh off the production line can also offer real advantages for first homebuyers. First homebuyers are generally short on cash缺现金 and as a result have difficulty in finding funds quickly that are required for a finished property 已建成的 with a short term settlement. Buying off the plan will give a first homebuyer time – time to save for settlement, time to plan for settlement, potentially time for capital growth prior to settlement (as most developers offer lower prices and financial incentives at the start and put prices up once construction has commenced) and time to make all the relevant applications for the first homeowners grant. Property investors房产投资买家 love numbers. It doesn't get much more satisfying than snapping up a house or unit for less than its value, renting it out for a good return and then sitting back while the compound growth machine clicks into gear. Owner occupiers自住买家 on the other hand need much more than this from a property. They want a place to be easy on the eyes, practical for their work and lifestyle requirements and in possession of a comforting home feel. For these reasons, buying off the plan is probably easier for the former than the latter. It is hard to figure out if a place is just right for you when it is nothing more than a blueprint, council plan or artist's impression. The finished product can be a similar disappointment to when your favourite book is turned into a movie and the main character looks nothing like you imagined. All you can really consider is whether or not the numbers stack up, how likely the developers are to deliver on their promises and whether the contract conditions are beneficial for your situation. The pitch: Developers can be up against it when trying to sell properties off the plan. They need you to help them cover their up-front financial requirements and help ensure the project is a success. For this reason, getting in at the early stages of a development can be quite beneficial好处多多的, 有好处的, 有益的.
美国球队性侵: The abrupt cancellation 忽然取消 of football season at a New Jersey prep powerhouse signaled something more than locker room hijinks( high jinks (ˈhaɪˌdʒɪŋks) or hijinks 打打闹闹, 瞎胡闹 boisterous celebration or merrymaking; unrestrained fun. Playful, often noisy and rowdy activity, usually involving mischievous pranks.). The school's superintendent says abuse by the Sayreville War Memorial High School students was so pervasive he had no choice but to call off the season for a team that has won three sectional titles in four years. His decision angered team parents but drew applause from advocates who called it the kind of bold stand necessary to confront hazing. The allegations involved attacks on four students over a 10-day span last month, authorities said. Six defendants were arrested Friday and the seventh surrendered Saturday. Their names were not released. In a statement on the arrests, Superintendent Richard Labbe said the district will "come together as a school district and greater community to harness the strength required to support the young men who may have been victimized and then to begin the healing process 疗伤, 治愈 for our beloved community." Though he sympathized with those who feel it unfair to punish an entire team, Green said responsibility for such conduct generally extends beyond the individual players. "When these problems arise they're never primarily a function of the individual kids or players(a function of something I. maths if one mathematical quantity is a function of another, it changes according to how the second quantity changes. II. the result of a change in something. Decreased petrol mileage is largely a function of today's bigger engines. perform a function: All the backup systems performed their function flawlessly. )," he said. "These problems primarily arise because of the behaviors of the adults and leaders who manage these environments." The arrests came four days after the rest of the season was called off, prompting angry responses from parents of players. At an emotional school board meeting Tuesday night, some players denied seeing any of the alleged incidents occurring, and one parent said the cancellation "victimizes the kids who had nothing to do with it." Reports of hazing surface regularly around the country, but rarely do they result in a sports season's cancellation. One well-publicized exception was Mepham High School on New York's Long Island, which canceled its 2003 season after reports of alleged sexual assaults by upperclassmen ( upperclassman 高年级生 a student in the last two years of school or university. underclassman 低年级生 a student in the first two years of school or university. ) on younger players during a preseason trip to Pennsylvania. Steve Timko, executive director of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association, said he couldn't recall any seasons being forfeited because of hazing-related allegations in his 38 years involved with scholastic sports in the state. Hazing can be hard to define and harder to detect precisely because it occurs within the confines of a closed group such as a team, fraternity or sorority that wields it as a requisite for inclusion, experts say. "Getting to the root of 追根究底 the problem is difficult when victims, for the most part, are trying to become part of an inner group," said Brendan Dwyer, a former college football coach. "They're willing to be part of a hazing ritual if they're going to be accepted on a team." Sayreville now faces the disorienting prospect of an autumn without its football team, a point of pride in the community and one of the forces that helped restore a sense of continuity after Superstorm Sandy caused massive flooding two years ago. An anti-bullying rally was planned for Sunday night in the park across the street from the high school. Holly Emory, whose son has played for the team the last two years, said parents have asked those attending not to wear Bombers gear so they don't "pour salt in the wound伤口撒盐." Emory said playing high school football has given her 15-year-old son an obvious confidence that wasn't there before and she hopes the allegations aren't true. "All the things that you sign your kids up for sports for, we witnessed in the past two years," she said. The reported attacks within Sayreville War Memorial High School's football program happened frequently and without warning, the parent claimed. It would start with a howling noise from a senior football player before the locker room lights were abruptly shut off. In the darkness, a freshman football player would be pinned to the locker room floor, his arms and feet held down 按住, 摁住 by multiple upperclassmen. Then, the victim would be lifted to his feet while a finger was forced into his rectum. Sometimes, the same finger was then shoved into the freshman player's mouth. The parent, informed by his son and other parents close to the investigation, is the first to come forward to reveal the hazing practices Labbe has characterized as "incidences of harassment, intimidation and bullying as constituted by the definition within the anti-bullying statute that took place on a pervasive level, on a wide-scale level, and at a level in which the players knew, tolerated, and in general 很大程度上 accepted." According to the parent, whose identity is being protected because the parent feared retribution against害怕被报复 the family and the player, the routine was initiated when an upperclassman would enter the locker room and make a wolf call or howling noise. The parent said the "ringleaders" involved in the hazing are seniors.
