Very impressive. These terms get thrown around constantly, but are they meaningful? What determines if a game is a statement game? And what is the practical effect of a statement win? Generally speaking, the term seems to mean games between two elite teams where the outcome either a) proves one team's quality over the other (informational), and/or b) makes it more likely that the winning team will beat the other team again later in the seasons--possibly in the playoffs (psychological). For the psychological version to be meaningful we have to assume that losing to a team during the regular season can effect a team's psyche to the extent that it will cause them to play worse against the winning team in the future. To me, this is an empirical question that we should be able to answer with data. My guess is that there is no relationship between regular season records and playoff records head-to-head. Now, that might vary by sport, but off the top of my head I would guess any relationship is likely due to team quality and not the effect of a single "statement win". More often than not, the better team will win. 7. Arse Flem ( Phlegm 痰): Rectal discharge of gelatinous viscosity (Cloudy partially set Jelly like substance).

Dandelion 蒲公英: Taraxacum ([təˈræksəkəm]) is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as dandelions. The scientific and hobby study of the genus is known as taraxacology. Both species are edible in their entirety. The common name dandelion ([ˈdændəlaɪ.ən] DAN-də-ly-ən; from French dent-de-lion 'lion's tooth') is also given to specific members of the genus. Like other members of the family Asteraceae, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. In part due to their abundance, along with being a generalist species, dandelions are one of the most vital early spring nectar sources for a wide host of pollinators. The species of Taraxacum are tap-rooted, perennial (A perennial [pəˈrɛnɪəl] 多年生的 plant or simply perennial is a plant that lives more than two years. The term (per- + -ennial, "through the years") is often used to differentiate a plant from shorter-lived annuals 一年生的 and biennials [baɪ'eniəl] 两年生的. The term is also widely used to distinguish plants with little or no woody growth (secondary growth in girth) from trees and shrubs, which are also technically perennials.), herbaceous plants, native to temperate areas of the Northern Hemisphere. After flowering is finished 花期结束, the dandelion flower head dries out for a day or two. The dried petals and stamens drop off, the bracts reflex (curve backwards), and the parachute ( noun.

When development is complete 发育完成, the mature seeds are attached to white, fluffy "parachutes" which easily detach from the seedhead and glide by wind, dispersing. The seeds are able to cover large distances when dispersed due to the unique morphology of the pappus which works to create a unique type of vortex ring that stays attached to the seed rather than being sent downstream. In addition to the creation of this vortex ring, the pappus can adjust its morphology depending on the moisture in the air. This allows the plume of seeds to close up and reduce the chance to separate from the stem, waiting for optimal conditions that will maximize dispersal and germination. The English name, dandelion, is a corruption of the French dent de lion meaning "lion's tooth", referring to the coarsely toothed leaves. The plant is also known as blowball, cankerwort, doon-head-clock, witch's gowan, milk witch, lion's-tooth, yellow-gowan, Irish daisy, monks-head, priest's-crown, and puff-ball; other common names include faceclock, pee-a-bed, wet-a-bed, swine's snout, white endive, and wild endive. The English folk name "piss-a-bed 尿床" (and indeed the equivalent contemporary French pissenlit) refers to the strong diuretic [ˌdaɪjuˈretɪk] 利尿剂 ( [daɪjʊəretɪk] [medicine, or technical] A diuretic is a substance which makes your body increase its production of waste fluids, with the result that you need to urinate more often than usual. Alcohol acts as a diuretic, making you even more dehydrated. Many remedies effective in joint disease are primarily diuretic. ) effect of the plant's roots.

In cold, damp seasons and in the absence of central heating, a clothes horse placed by a fireside or a kitchen range provides a place to warm clothing before putting it on. The practice of airing, once ubiquitous in Great Britain, for example, in the constant battle against damp and mold, has become far less common with the advent of central heating and affordable clothes dryers. Terminology Other names for this device include a clothes rack, drying horse, clothes maiden, drying rack, scissor rack, drying stand, airer, or (Scots) Winter Dyke. coat stand: 衣架. pouf [pʊf] ( puf = Poof is an insulting word for a gay man. ) Poufs are a versatile piece of furniture that can tie your room together effortlessly.

A dictionary of architecture categorically defined the characteristics of a windowsill as: The lowest form of window casement. Windowsills hold pieces in place and slope downward to drain water. A windowsill (also written window sill or window-sill, and less frequently in British English, cill) is the horizontal structure or surface at the bottom of a window. Window sills serve to structurally support and hold the window in place. The exterior portion of a window sill provides a mechanism for shedding rainwater away from the wall at the window opening. Therefore, window sills are usually inclined slightly downward away from the window and wall, and often extend past the exterior face of the wall, so the water will drip off rather than run down the wall. Some windowsills are made of natural stone, cast stone, concrete, tile, or other non-porous materials to further increase their water resistance. Windows may not have a structural sill or the sill may not be sufficiently weather resistant. In these cases, a strip of waterproof and weather resistant material (steel, vinyl, PVC) called a sill pan may be used to protect the wall and shed the water. Like the sill, a sill pan will usually be inclined and protrude from the wall.
