Trump Accused Of 'Rape' One Day After Refusing To Go To War With Iran

President Donald Trump was accused of "rape" by a feminist journo one day after he refused to go to war with Iran.
Despite massive pressure from neocons in his administration to attack Iran after they shot down a US drone over the Gulf of Oman, Trump elected not to carry out a strike Thursday evening because he said the military's planned attack would have killed 150 people, which he said was not "proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone."
The next day, feminist journo E Jean Carroll accused him of raping her sometime "in late 1995 or early 1996" and suggested he has a small penis.

The writer alleges that Trump attacked her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room and thrust "his penis halfway — or completely, I'm not certain — inside me." https://t.co/0A4bmETnqI

When asked on MSNBC Friday whether she would press charges against Trump seeing as how New York no longer has any statue of limitations on first degree rape, Carroll laughably said she would not because it would be "disrespectful" to the women at the border "who are being raped around the clock."

President Trump denied the allegations in a statement after the story broke:
Regarding the "story" by E. Jean Carroll, claiming she once encountered me at Bergdorf Goodman 23 years ago. I've never met this person in my life. She is trying to sell a new book—that should indicate her motivation. It should be sold in the fiction section.
Shame on those who make up false stories of assault to try to get publicity for themselves, or sell a book, or carry out a political agenda—like Julie Swetnick who falsely accused Justice Brett Kavanaugh. It's just as bad for people to believe it, particularly when there is zero evidence. Worse still for a dying publication to try to prop itself up by peddling fake news—it's an epidemic.
Ms. Carroll & New York Magazine: No pictures? No surveillance? No video? No reports? No sales attendants around?? I would like to thank Bergdorf Goodman for confirming they have no video footage of any such incident, because it never happened.
False accusations diminish the severity of real assault. All should condemn false accusations and any actual assault in the strongest possible terms.
If anyone has information that the Democratic Party is working with Ms. Carroll or New York Magazine, please notify us as soon as possible. The world should know what's really going on. It is a disgrace and people should pay dearly for such false accusations.
There's no question powerful people are very angry right now due to Trump not attacking Iran. These conveniently timed "rape" allegations should be taken in the proper context.

Q: Programatically create angled line background in UIView I have been looking for some type of tutorial or suggestion on how to create light grey angled lines to fill a UIView that I can use as a background to another UIView.
This is an example of the type of look I am aiming for.

I am just not sure where to start.

A: The easiest way would be to use CoreImage. There's actually a filter made just for that purpose.
This code produces a UIImage with the exact pattern that you're aiming for. You can just put it on a UIImageView:
CIFilter* stripesFilter = [CIFilter filterWithName:@"CIStripesGenerator"];
[stripesFilter setValue: [CIColor colorWithRed:0.85 green:0.85 blue:0.85 alpha:1.0] forKey:@"inputColor0"];
[stripesFilter setValue: [CIColor colorWithRed:1.0 green:1.0 blue:1.0 alpha:1.0] forKey:@"inputColor1"];
[stripesFilter setValue: [NSNumber numberWithFloat:4.0] forKey:@"inputWidth"];

NSValue *rotation = [NSValue valueWithCGAffineTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(-45.0f / 180.0f * M_PI)];
CIFilter *transformFilter = [CIFilter filterWithName:@"CIAffineTransform" keysAndValues:kCIInputImageKey, stripesFilter.outputImage, @"inputTransform", rotation, nil];

CIContext *context = [CIContext contextWithOptions:@{kCIContextUseSoftwareRenderer : @NO}];
CGImageRef cgImage = [context createCGImage:transformFilter.outputImage fromRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 300)];
UIImage *angledStripesImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:cgImage];
CGImageRelease(cgImage);

To use this code you'll also need to link CoreImage.framework with your target.

A: *

*Programmatically create a UIBezierPath that follows that pattern.

*Create a CAShapeLayer and configure the color and thickness.

*Set the CAShapeLayer's path parameter to the UIBezierPath (specifically the path's CGPath parameter).

*Add the CAShapeLayer as a sublayer of the view's backing layer.

Alcohol Tax Breaks Brewing In Congress - May 2015
Tax relief may be on the way for alcohol producers both large and small. Two tax breaks for brewers are vying for the spotlight on Capitol Hill, while a third piece of legislation would grant earlier tax deductions to distillers of aged spirits. All three pieces of legislation signal a willingness on the part of Congress to address the growth and economic benefit of the alcohol industry, but two of the bills also represent a growing schism among producers. Both the bills concerning beer taxation will reduce the excise taxes on sectors of the brewing industry, but these competing bills pit craft brewers against larger brewers, setting up a David and Goliath fight over tax reform.
The first bill of the two bills to be filed this year, the Small Brewer Reinvestment and Expanding Workforce Act ("Small BREW Act"), would reduce the federal excise tax rate by 50 percent on the first 60,000 barrels produced by breweries that produce 6 million or less barrels a year.[1] Barrels between 60,000 and 2 million produced would also receive a discounted tax rate of $16, down from $18. This bill also widens the net for craft breweries, tripling the capacity under which breweries qualify for incentives. The Brewers Association ("BA"), a trade group for craft brewers, estimates that the cost of the tax will be approximately $64 million annually, but will create around 5,200 jobs in the first 12-18 months after passage.
The Fair Brewers Excise and Economic Relief Act ("Fair BEER Act"), introduced less than a month after the Small BREW Act, contains nearly similar tax provisions to the Small BREW Act, although it also eliminates the excise tax on the first 7,143 barrels of beer.[2] The oddly specific 7,143 barrel threshold in this bill was designed to comport with the definition of "small brewer" under the Department of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, helping with ease of administration. The main difference between the bills, however, is that the tax breaks in the Fair BEER Act apply to all brewers, regardless of size. The Fair BEER Act finds its most staunch support from the Beer Institute ("BI") and the National Beer Wholesalers Association ("NBWA"), trade groups that represent the beer industry as a whole and beer distributors, respectively. The cost in tax revenue is a subject of dispute between the BI, which estimates the total around $113 million, and the BA, which puts a figure of $150 million or more on the bill.
The main contention between the interests represented by both bills seems to be inclusion. The Small BREW Act limits the tax breaks to only small brewers, while the Fair BEER Act provides a tax benefit to all brewers and importers. It also cuts the taxes for the smallest breweries to zero, theoretically benefitting small brewers significantly. Opponents of the Fair BEER Act suggest, however, that the tax provisions of that bill disproportionately favor large, multinational brewers that already receive favorable tax treatment. Another argument by opponents of the bill is that it is a red herring, created with the appearance of a more favorable bill to the industry, but destined for failure by design, effectively killing the chances of both pieces of legislation. Supporters of the Fair BEER Act counter that the legislation supports the entire industry, rather than focusing only on certain sectors, providing a more equitable tax benefit to all.
Industry participants from Kentucky are involved in this national debate, such as Country Boy Brewing's Daniel "DH" Harrison, a supporter of the Small BREW Act.
"As a small brewer and a member of the rapidly growing craft beer industry, we are in full support of the BREW Act, as we believe that it will allow small brewers in America to reinvest more of their earnings back into the business in the form of added tanks and most importantly- more workers," said Harrison. "However, we do not oppose the Fair Beer Act. We believe that its cost is too great and that the benefits to large brewers will ultimately make this a bill with no chance of passing. The BREW Act is a more economical and manageable bill that grants real tax breaks to small American craft brewers."
This is not the first time these two excise tax bills have battled it out. Versions of both bills have been introduced in all four Congresses since 2009. The provisions of the legislation have changed over the terms, but the essentials and essential differences have remained the same. Neither of the two contenders has had much traction, mostly dying in committee. Currently, GovTrack.us, a site that tracks legislative action and calculates probabilities of enacting legislation, gives the Small BREW Act a ten percent chance of getting past a committee and a five percent chance of being enacted. The Fair BEER Act, by contrast, has a slightly lower chance - nine percent - of escaping committee, and a far lower chance at two percent of getting passed.
Brewers aren't the only alcohol producers seeking tax reform in the Congressional spotlight, however. In February, Representative Andy Barr (R-KY) introduced the "Aged Distilled Spirits Competitiveness Act."[3] In May, Kentucky's Senators introduced a nearly identical measure the "Advancing Growth in the Economy through Distilled Spirits Act," or the AGED Spirits Act.[4] The introduction of the latter tax relief bill for distillers came on the 51st anniversary of Senate Concurrent Resolution 19, a 1964 Congressional Resolution designating bourbon as a "distinctive product of the United States." The senators deemed the proposal a "pro-growth measure" to boost the economy and create jobs.
Both versions of the bill change tax laws so that distillers can deduct the interest expense that correlates to aging inventories the same year that they are paid. Under current federal tax law, distillers cannot take the deduction for interest until the distilled product is sold, which could be, in the case of some premium bourbons, as long as 23 years. Interest costs can be capitalized under IRC §263(a) if they are paid or incurred during the production period. This tax provision would work by exempting the aging process in the determination of the production period for distilled spirits, allowing distillers to claim the deduction when the spirits are produced and stored, not sold. While identical legislation died in earlier congressional sessions, the current iteration may well benefit in this session from having a newly-christened Senate Majority Leader as its primary sponsor.
In a press release from Sen. McConnell's office concerning the Act, Eric Gregory, President of the Kentucky Distillers' Association, said, "Kentucky Bourbon can't be made overnight like most spirits. It takes years of age and tender craftsmanship to produce the world's finest Bourbon, but that's actually a deterrent when it comes to the discriminatory tax policies that are restricting growth and investment. The AGED Spirits Act will relieve that burden, create new jobs and level the playing field for our signature industry as it competes in the global marketplace."
Time will tell if any of these tax provisions will pass a Congress mired heavily in gridlock, but brewers and distillers can remain hopeful, at least, that tax relief may be forthcoming. At the very least, a discussion of tax relief is underway.

Given a single-stranded DNA string, compute how many times each nucleotide
occurs in the string.

The genetic language of every living thing on the planet is DNA.  DNA is a
large molecule that is built from an extremely long sequence of individual
elements called nucleotides.  Four types exist in DNA and these differ only
slightly and can be represented as the following symbols:

- `'A'` for Adenine,
- `'C'` for Cytosine,
- `'G'` for Guanine, and
- `'T'` for Thymine.

Since not all `char` are valid nucleotides and not all `string` are valid
DNA strings, part of this exercise is to only give a result for meaningful
input. See [Real World Ocaml Chapter 7. Error Handling][rwo7] for more
information.

[rwo7]: https://v1.realworldocaml.org/v1/en/html/error-handling.html

The exercise consists of two parts:
- Given an input DNA string and a nucleotide, count the number of times the
  nucleotide occurs in the string.  If the nucleotide `c` is invalid, or the
  DNA string contains an invalid nucleotide `c`, the result should be `Error c`.
- Given an input DNA string, count all the nucleotides in the string and
  gather the result in a `Char.Map`.  If the DNA string contains an invalid
  nucleotide `c`, the result should be `Error c`.  Otherwise the result
  should be `Ok map`.

See `test.ml` for examples.

Economic uncertainty affects economic decisions
Life is full of uncertainty, but failing to fully address economic uncertainty can have a big impact on consumption, credit and investment decisions.
U.S. households differ significantly in their uncertainty when forecasting their personal and national economic future, according to new research by Camelia Kuhnen, a professor of finance at the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School and a faculty fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER).
Kuhnen says those most uncertain about their economic expectations are individuals who:
Have lower income and education levels
Are women
Are non-white
Have precarious work and financial situations
Live in counties with higher unemployment
That uncertainty affects their economic decisions: Households that are more uncertain are likely to reduce consumption, secure additional credit access and have lower exposure to equity market investments.
Using new data to directly measure uncertainty
Kuhnen conducted the study with Elyas Fermand, a PhD candidate at UNC Kenan-Flagler; Itzhak Ben-David, professor of finance at The Ohio State University and NBER; and Geng Li, chief of the consumer finance section at the Federal Reserve Board. They report their findings in "Expectations, Uncertainty and Household Economic Behavior."
Measures of households' uncertainty about economic expectations were not available until recently. Typically researchers have used proxies tied to variability in income growth observed much later than the time when consumption or savings decisions were made, because measuring people's uncertainty at the time of these decisions directly was difficult.
Kuhnen and her colleagues used new, more accurate data: monthly data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Survey of Consumer Expectations (SCE) and three special modules – the Credit Access Survey, Annual Housing Survey and Housing Finance Survey.
"Using the SCE data we could better understand the way local economic conditions and individual factors influence household behavior by impacting people's uncertainty about future economic conditions," says Kuhnen. "We found novel evidence on the factors that drive uncertainty in economic expectations, and on the effects of this uncertainty on consumption, investment and borrowing decisions."
"We find a high correlation between how uncertain a person feels about their own future income growth and how uncertain they are about macro-level variables like inflation and home-price appreciation. We demonstrate that people who are more uncertain will behave with more caution when it comes to deciding how much to consume, how much credit to line up, and how much to invest in the stock market."
Policy interventions and messages
Policy interventions or messages meant to encourage specific behaviors might not have the same impact on all households, says Kuhnen. Examples of such policies or messages include central banks forward guidance, changes in disclosure to consumers about credit products, and changes to ease consumer access to investment products or in the tax implications of such investments.
How they are perceived – and how likely they are to achieve the desired effect – depends significantly on how uncertain a household is about the economic variables the policies are designed to influence. The data indicates that people who are most uncertain when predicting their own or national level economic outcomes are those who have faced more adversity – namely, people of lower socioeconomic status.
The authors find that households that are more uncertain in their economic expectations – even accounting for their income or wealth levels – engage in more cautious behaviors. They plan to consume less, line up more credit for rainy days, and have lower exposure to risky financial investments.
For example, a 1 percent increase in uncertainty predicts a 1.2 to 1.5 percentage points lower probability for household to increase their everyday spending. Interestingly, that same increase is associated with lower spending on home renovations, vehicles and trips, but not with home durables like appliances, electronics and furniture.
The authors use household finance data to study the effects of uncertainty on three investment decisions:
Participation in equity markets
The proportion of equity holdings to total assets
The value of equity holdings
They find individuals with higher levels of uncertainty are less likely to invest in equities and have a significantly lower fraction of their assets invested in the stock market, with each 1 percent increase in uncertainty predicting an 8 percent decrease in the value of equity holdings. Income and net worth are the only two factors that play a greater role in this decision than uncertainty, though education and a lower probability of financial distress also contribute.
Real-world effects
"It's important to understand how economic uncertainty affects real-world behavior across socioeconomic groups as well as its policy implications," says Kuhnen.
"Understanding which households are more uncertain is important because responses to policy changes that target economic expectations or behaviors don't have the same effects on all groups," she says. "Those who have less clarity about future economic conditions will benefit significantly more from interventions that reduce perceived economic uncertainty."
And reducing uncertainty could help reduce financial stress. Recent neuroscience research suggests adversity changes brain function, so that people with more adverse backgrounds perceive instability in many domains.
"A reduction in economic uncertainty could have a high impact on population and reduce the cognitive burden imposed by financial stress," says Kuhnen.

The Most Popular Core PC Games
TechCrew November 9, 2020
Gaming is what most people turn to in their time of strife, well, gaming, friends or a therapist. Some turn to alcohol or drugs, but that is not the solution! Video games are far better. And what better way to experience them than playing on a PC? PCs are somewhat more expensive compared to consoles, but they can also do that much more. They are modular, upgradeable and they allow you to direct the way you want to play your game (think of all the mods you can install and then crash the game because you didn't load them properly).
Following is a list of the world's most popular core PC games at the moment.
Ever since announcing several new games, Riot Games can finally add an S to their name, and it won't be a joke. For over ten years, Riot has had only League as its game, until they dropped Teamfight Tactics in 2019. A MOBA by nature, League is free to play and a very good game (until you run into flamers and inters). It is currently the most played PC game and the most popular one. Riot has overhauled the game and is always working on improving it. They are also one of the very few companies who are always in contact with their fans, and not the PR department, but various devs, artists and other people working for the company.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege
Ubisoft can make or break games. With Rainbow Six: Siege, they got something right. It is a tactical first-person shooter. It was released in 2015 and with many updates, was made a very large and relevant game. Ubisoft is known for dishing out Assassin's Creed games every single year, a buggy mess of content which is filled with microtransactions. Siege, on the other hand, is a buy to pay game, where you get a certain number of operators, depending on which version of the game you purchase. You can also purchase operators on their own, if you wish so. It is an interesting game which has its own esports scene, a very active one.
Valve's Counter Strike is one of the world's most popular shooters. It is the shooter which is used to measure all other shooters, well, it and Unreal Tournament, Doom, Quake and many other games. It is still going strong and currently the third most played game.

This is one of those games which is played by a lot of people. People may ask, why, but if you have to ask, you might as well try it and see for yourself. A game of building and surviving, it is interesting to people of all ages. Also, pixel art has always been amazing.
Developed by Respawn and under EA's giant wings, Apex Legends is a first-person three on three battle royale, with 20 teams of 3 facing off on a relatively large map. It is an interesting, fast-paced game which tends to captivate you and make you cry when you get your head blown off by a veteran who hits sniper shots across the entire map (or at least, what seems like the entire map to you).
These are the world's current most popular core PC games and to no surprise, they are all online multiplayer games.

A hotbed of child slavery in Ghana is targeted by activists in this involving activist documentary.
For decades most Westerners thought child labor was a thing of the past, one of those bad-old-days relics left behind with the Victorian era. But economic globalization has brought new attention to myriad surviving networks of exploitation and trafficking, many dependent on the underaged. American documentary duo Alyssa Fedele and Zachary Fink's "The Rescue List" sheds light on one internationally little-known but persistent case in point: Children used as slaves in the fishing industry of Ghana's Lake Volta. Focusing on a rescue-and-rehabilitation organization and several youths it plucks from servitude, this is an involving indictment with enough individual human-interest elements to avoid being too much of a grim screed.
Funded by foreign mining companies, the completion of the Akosombo Dam in 1965 created the largest man-made lake on the planet. Almost immediately, traffickers began paying poor families for their children's labor in what was promised as short-term employment, but the kids were often never heard from or seen again. Half a century later, as many as 10,000 child slaves are estimated as working there, many frequently beaten by their "masters," not a few drowning when caught in fishing nets they've been ordered to disentangle in the murky waters.
Some of those saved are sent to a rehab center in a secret rural location. There, they spend a year in dormitory-like communal circumstances going to school (usually for the first time) and being re-acclimated to freedom while their parents are hopefully tracked down. When found, the latter have to promise they won't "re-traffic" their child ever again, or face potential prosecution.
Among our youthful protagonists here are Peter, who was sold at age 3 and wasn't rescued until the brink of legal adulthood; and Edem, who is most concerned that his friend Teye also be reclaimed from forced labor on the lake. It's a big day when the two boys are finally reunited. On the other hand, we see the evasiveness and anger of villagers who most unwillingly give up their child "investments" to Challenging Heights personnel, though no retaliatory violence is glimpsed.
Well-shot by Fink and nicely scored by William Ryan Fritch, "The Rescue List" is perhaps surprisingly easy to take given its harsh subject. The kids seem to bounce back more painlessly than one might expect from their long hardships, and we do not hear tales of sexual abuse. (There appear to be relatively few girls involved, at least in the fishing-slave arena.) It's a fine first tandem directorial effort for the San Francisco-based Fedele and Fink, both relative newbies who've variably produced, edited, and shot other people's non-fiction projects prior to this one.
Reviewed online, San Francisco, April 5, 2018. (In SFFilm, Full Frame, DocLands film festivals.) Running time: 81 MIN.
Production: (Documentary – U.S.-Ghana) A Collective Hunch production. (International sales: Ro*co Films, Sausalito, Calif.) Producers: Alyssa Fedele, Zachary Fink, Davis Coombe. Executive producer: Steve James.

The team of 'Empire' is feeling the effects of Jussie Smollett's alleged lie now more than ever. The Fox show has suffered their lowest ratings this past Wednesday — ever.
The March 20 episode of the musical series reportedly scored a 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demo and was watched by just under 4 million viewers. The numbers are not much lower than last week when it returned after winter break.
This report is especially concerning since it comes after one of 'Empire's main actors is being accused of staging a racist and homophobic attack in January.
The show's creator, Lee Daniels, opened up about the team's pain and sadness in a video uploaded to Instagram.
Daniels never once mentioned Jussie by name.
The fate of 'Empire' is unknown as of now since there has been no announcement if there will be a new season yet but judging by the latest numbers — it's looking pretty grim.
Unfortunately for Daniels, his other song-centered series that follows 'Empire' isn't doing any better. 'Star' hit a low point of viewers that same night.
Do you think that if 'Empire' gets canceled Jussie Smollett will be solely to blame? Do you think the show stands a chance for another season renewal?
Personally, I live in Chicago and I think he is the reason, and I also feel that this great city should no longer allow them to film here. That is not what Chi-town is all about. It is deeply offensive for Jussie to try and make us look bad, this is a great city! .


This 2012 built, 1858 sqft, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home is beautifully finished throughout including hardwood on the main and carpeting through the upstairs bedrooms. Energy efficient geothermal heating / radiant floor heating and air conditioning are just some of the great features in this home. Single car garage and crawl space for storage. Close to schools, bussing and shopping.


Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG) is known as a staple in any millennials' diet. However the company had been missing a key component of its burritos and bowls for a fair amount of 2015, but now its back on the menu. The company announced that it has restored most of its pork supply and is again serving carnitas in 90% of its restaurants. Chipotle expects to have carnitas back in all of its restaurants by the end of November.
Chipotle stopped serving carnitas at over a third of its restaurants earlier this year after one of its primary pork suppliers failed to meet routine auditing standards under the company's pork protocol.
These high standards require that pigs are raised with access to the outdoors or deeply bedded barns, without the use of antibiotics, and with no gestation crates. These practices are completely opposite with how pigs are conventionally raised. As a result, Chipotle opted to pull carnitas from hundreds of restaurants rather than compromise its commitment to animal welfare.
The decision to stop selling carnitas in many of our restaurants was an easy one. We simply will not compromise our high standards for animal welfare. Since making this decision, we have heard from thousands of our customers who have expressed support for our decision, and commended us for standing on principle. Now, we are excited to have carnitas back in nearly all of our restaurants, and want to thank our customers for their patience while we worked to address this issue.
Currently the option for carnitas is now available at all Chipotle locations in the U.S. with the exception of restaurants in the Cleveland and Atlanta areas, and in North Carolina and South Carolina.
The company has been able to replenish its pork supply working with existing suppliers and by adding a new partner, United Kingdom-based Karro Food. Karro produces pork from pigs raised to Chipotle's standards for animal welfare.
Shares of Chipotle were down 2.4% at $712.75 on Monday afternoon. The stock has a consensus analyst price target of $762.26 and a 52-week trading range of $597.33 to $758.61.

Love–hate relationship
(Redirected from Love-hate relationship)
A love–hate relationship is an interpersonal relationship involving simultaneous or alternating emotions of love and hate – something particularly common when emotions are intense.
The term is used frequently in psychology, popular writing and journalism. It can be applied to relationships with inanimate objects, or even concepts, as well as those of a romantic nature or between siblings and parents/children.
In common parlance, it is often said that their is a thin line between love and hate, seeing it as a balance.

7 List of famous love-hate relationships in fiction
Psychological roots
A love-hate relationship has been linked to the occurrence of emotional ambivalence in early childhood; (Sigmund Freud, On Metapsychology) to conflicting responses by different ego states within the same person; or to the inevitable co-existence of egoistic conflicts with the object of love.
Narcissists have been seen as particularly prone to aggressive reactions towards love objects, not least when issues of self-identity are involved: in extreme instances, hate at the very existence of the other may be the only emotion felt, until love breaks through behind it.
Research from Yale University suggests love–hate relationships may be the result of poor self-esteem.
The term is sometimes employed by writers to refer to relationships between celebrity couples who have been divorced, then who reunite (notably Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, or Eminem and Kimberly Scott), as well as to their relationship with fame itself.
A love-hate relationship may develop when people have completely lost the intimacy within a loving relationship, yet still retain some passion for, or perhaps some commitment to, each other, before degenerating into a hate-love relationship leading to divorce.
Sigmund Freud said of himself that "an intimate friend and a hated enemy have always been indispensable to my emotional life...not infrequently...friend and enemy have coincided in the same person". (Quoted in Ernest Jones, The Life and Work of Sigmund Freud).
Aristotle warned of the conflicts that can arise from conflicting claims within friendships. A related theme is "obligatory friendship", where one party usually feels indebted to another and forges a friendship but still holds a grudge over a particular past disappointment or set of disappointments, while the "creditor" in the relationship agrees to the nature of the relationship often for security reasons, but remains aware of the "debtor's" grudge and feels counter-indebted until the cause of the grudge is sufficiently overcome.
Catullus introduced the love-hate theme into Western culture with his famous lines: "I hate and yet love. You may wonder how I manage it. I don't know, but feel it happen, and am in torment".
The concept of a love-hate relationship is frequently used in teen romance novels where two characters are shown to "hate" each other, but show some sort of affection or attraction towards each other at certain points of the story – particularly in the context of the romance between a good girl and a bad boy, or a good boy and a bad girl.
En-dash
The term love–hate relationship has been used in several books on writing as an example of the use of the en dash.

Colorado Rockies Flirting With 6-Man Pitching Rotation in Second Half
By Pauly McGuire on July 22, 2022 4 min read
Bud Black, the manager of the Colorado Rockies, is considering shaking up a half-century of tradition by implementing a six-man starting rotation in the second half of the season to combat his team's pitching woes.
Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black contemplates unique ways to jump-start his losing squad. (Mage: Raj Mehta/USA Today Sports)
The Rockies struggled in the first half of the season, but headed into the All-Star break winning eight of their last 11 games. In the NL wild-card race, the Rockies find themselves 6.5 games out.
The Rockies have a team ERA of 4.88, which is the third-worst in the major leagues. Only the Washington Nationals and Cincinnati Reds have a worse batch of pitchers than do the Rockies.
Brief history of starting rotations: 2 > 3 > 4 > 5
With the second half of the season now underway, Black is thinking outside of the box with a six-man rotation. One of the coolest things about baseball is its rich history, which dates back to the late 1800s.
In the 1880s, managers employed a two-man starting pitching rotation. From 1887 to 1897, a three-man rotation was the norm. At the turn of the century, managers began to utilize a four-man rotation. However, adventurous managers explored five-man and even six-man rotations. In 1918, nearly 10% of teams opted for rotations involving six hurlers.
Teams last used a four-man starting pitcher rotation until the early 1970s. The New York Mets won the 1969 World Series with a five-man rotation. Other teams took notice of what the Miracle Mets did with their deep pool of starting pitchers. By the mid-1970s, the pitching transformation was complete and teams utilized a five-man rotation.
This isn't the first time the Rockies have shaken up tradition. A decade ago, the Rockies had the worst ERA in baseball. Manager Jim Tracy decided he would try a four-man rotation because he couldn't find a reliable fifth starter. He wanted to keep his four starters on a pitch count of 75 pitches to keep their arms fresh.
The move didn't work. The Rockies finished in last place in the division with a 64-98 record, 30 games behind the first-place San Francisco Giants.
Colorado six pack
The Rockies begin the second half of the season on the road with a four-game series against the Brewers in Milwaukee before returning home to Denver for a two-game series against the Chicago White Sox. Black will get a chance to experiment to close out July.
"We are talking about it, but I'm not sure how we are going to play it out," said Black.
On Friday, righty Antonio Senzatela (3-5, 4.95 ERA) returns to action after missing time with shoulder inflammation.
Right-handed pitcher Jose Urena (1-1, 1.45 ERA), takes the mound on Saturday against Milwaukee's ace Brandon Woodruff. Urena pitched well in his three starts this season with a 1.45 ERA and 1.34 WHIP, which is why Black wants to try out a six-man rotation.
On Sunday, another righty takes the mound with Chad Kuhl (6-5, 4.11 ERA) getting the start. On Monday, left-hander Kyle Freeland (4-7, 4.96 ERA) closes out the series against the Brewers.
In the first home game in the second half, righty German Marquez (6-7, 5.47 ERA) will start Monday against the White Sox. On Tuesday, left-handed Austin Gomber (5-7, 5.97 ERA) gets a crack at the White Sox.
"I don't think it will have any impact if we have six guys who are rolling," said Gomber. "Other teams have done it. I don't think it's a negative thing for us or will have any impact on what we do. You get an extra day of rest, which is always a good thing. So, I'd be fine with it."
"I don't mind," said Marquez about the six-man pitching rotation. "I just want to go out and pitch."
Betting the Rockies
The Rockies won five out of their last six games prior to the All-Star Break, which included a five-game winning streak for their best run of the season.
The Rockies are 43-50 and seven games under .500. They're 6.5 games out of the NL wild-card race even with extra teams added to the postseason this year.
Unfortunately, the Rockies are in fourth place in the NL West. Their division includes the stacked Los Angeles Dodgers (61-30) and the young and talented San Diego Padres (52-42). Even the San Francisco Giants (48-44) are in the thick of the wild-card race.
The Rockies are +200000 odds to win the 2022 World Series. If you wager $1,000 on the Rockies to win the fall classic and they miraculously win the World Series, you'll bank $2 million. You're better off purchasing a Powerball lottery ticket than you are firing away on a futures bet on the Rockies in the second half of the season.
If you're feeling frisky, you can place a wager on regular season wins. Local bookies in Colorado adjusted the Rockies' line to 71.5 o/u. Clay Davenport's projections suggest the Rockies will finish the season with 75 wins and a 75-87 overall record.

I first tried this recipe a couple of years ago, after we had a particular good parsnip harvest from our allotment garden, and we wanted to do something other than make parsnip fries and mashes parsnip/potatoes. An English friend of mine, shared this recipe with me from one of her cookbooks. I have since then tweaked it a bit, and here is the Low Histamine version I make these days.
Rinse and peel your parsnips, and cut them into smaller pieces. Wash your apples well, and remove the core. Cut them in 8-12 pieces depending on the size of the apple. Melt the butter in a large soup pan, and fry the parsnip and apple for about 10 mins, with the lid on. Stir occasionally. Meanwhile rinse the cauliflower and cut into similar size pieces. I often use the stem of the cauliflower in soups, because it is often the part that is left in the refrigerator after my partner has been snacking on cauliflower all week 😉 So soup is a great way of using the stem of the cauliflower.
Add the cauliflower, bone broth (link to my bone broth recipe here) or bouillon and sage (cut finely if you are using fresh leaves, or crumble is you are using dried sage leaves). Bring to a boil and let it simmer for about 30 mins. While the soup is simmering away, prepare the topping for the soup. Apple fried in butter. Super delicious. Wash and remove the core from an apple, and cut it into small cubes. Melt the butter in a pan and fry the apple cubes till the start to brown. Set aside. After 30 mins of simmering, check if the veggies have gone soft by sticking a fork in them. If they fall off the fork, the soup is ready. Puree the soup with a blender and salt to taste. Serve with the butter fried apples. Enjoy.

This was so fantastic and filling! No blender but worth all the time to add and reduce liquid! Tip: I substituted half the parsnips for white carrots, and added about 1/4 of a quince. Unbelievable flavour (a little goes a long way, but may be too high histamine for some). I 'fried' them with the apples with a dot of butter and water. Also sprinkled nutmeg and thyme. Perfect for a winter night!


Dialogue of Sound and a Writer was published earlier this month as part of Flash500, a project by Akerman Daly in which a number of artists and writers were commissioned a new text of 500 words.
I decided to write this dialogue partly as a homage to the satirical/imaginary dialogues of Lucianus of Samosata and Giorgio Manganelli that lightened up and engaged a good portion of my 2012, partly as yet another attempt in my ongoing search for ways and forms of writing with and without sound, while looking at theory 'from the other side' as if dead (theory, not me. As if.).
My next dialogues will be: Dialogue of Nature and a Field Recordist and Dialogue of Death and a Researcher.
WRITER [serious]: S-Sound? Stop and stop it, will you? We need to talk.
W [exasperated]: How am I to stop you and address you?
S [patronising]: Writer, writer, it certainly is good to hear from you, but then again, you are good with useless things: words. You infect me with your generalisations: you call me Sound. You're asking the wrong question here.
W [dithering]: Are you not Sound?
S: I'm [pauses] s-s…, I'm eroded by your words and I vanish through time. Would you write this vanishing, instead of calling me Sound?
W [confused]: What does this mean, Sound? Are you speaking of a vanishing, or isn't it a making, every time you sound and every time I write after you? There is something ghostly as you take on acoustic features that are to dissolve and yet mark your being differently, every single time. So tell me, what are you?
W [hopeful]: …the gain is to keep chasing you, along this circle, around and around. Yourself, do you ever feel lost?
S [sharp]: Sometimes I find mys-s in sounds I don't recognise. And I keep moving! But listen, I have some advice for your fellow writers: tell them to stop discussing the absolute values of Sound, with difficult words.
W [disheartened]: But they will tell me that I'm ignorant and a fool, and that I blame their knowledge and discourse.
S [firm]: And you tell them, from me, they might be damned.
W [sighing]: Tell me then, what is at the end of Sound?
S [furtive]: Perhaps, if somebody attempted to write my many contradictions, they might glimpse past my vanishing. Listen, and you will know you're being framed by my dissolving, and… you keep writing, don't you?
W [in the vain attempt to conclude]: Well what have been talking about so far?
S [ironic]: What talk? There has been no talk, we have sounded sounds. Nothing has been reported or documented, nothing. We've been chasing each other, sounding. You should not have called me Sound, but told me of the sounds in s-s, addressed me with incoherent stories and undecipherable acoustic traces, signifiers whose sense is uncertain and that yet mean. Then we would have had something to say. Think about it: Absolut Sound is a slogan to sell, a portal into emptiness and oblivion.
W [yielding]: No words, then, for and after Sound?
S: No words: your words are to be for and after s-s…ounds. [starts singing again; skips off the circle, laughing] …Your sh-shifting words of s-s, round and round….

Fernando Gaviria and Lawrence Naesen To Undergo Surgeries For Collarbone Fractures
"Victim of a fall in the first kilometres of the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, Lawrence Naesen will be operated on this evening for multiple fractures of the collarbone. The duration of his unavailability will be known later,"
Last updated on February 28th, 2022
Omloop Het Nieuwsblad officially happened on 26 February, 2022, Wout Van Aert came on top. The event also had its set of tragedies, as both Fernando Gaviria (UAE Team Emirates) and Lawrence Naesen (AG2R Citroën) crashed and fractured their collarbones. For this, they had to undergo surgeries, they are out of a critical situation as of right now.
AG2R provided an official medical update:
Victim of a fall in the first kilometers of the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, Lawrence Naesen will be operated on this evening for multiple fractures of the collarbone. The duration of his unavailability will be known later.
Following Naesen's crash, he was later on replaced by Stan De Wulf for Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. Due to unforeseen circumstances, it is not confirmed where Lawrence Naesen crashed, but we do know that there were two crashes, and Fernando Gaviria was also part of that crash. The first crash happened between Ghent and Ninove, at the first 55 km of the elite men's race.
A post shared by Fernando Gaviria Rendon (@fernandogaviriarendon)
The first crash affected many riders, amongst them were Luke Durbridge (BikeExchange), Victor Campenaerts (Lotto Soudal), and Alessandro Covi (UAE Team Emirates). The only one that could recover from the crash was Victor Campenaerts, although Alessandro Covi made it back for Kuurne- Brussel-Kuurne.
The second crash on the other hand was a grizzly one, as it took down Fernando Gaviria and many other riders. This crash occurred during the last 41km of the race. He hit the pavement and then was seen holding his hand in excruciating pain. He was treated by medical support before being taken to the hospital for further treatment.
The UAE Team Emirates provided the following medical update:
Unfortunately after a crash earlier today in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad we can confirm that Fernando Gaviria has a displaced clavicular fracture and will undergo surgery. Get well soon Fernando.
Let's hope that both Gaviria and Naesen recover soon enough. Impressively, Gaviria has had a very strong start cycling season, accumulating two strong victories at the Tour Of Oman. Stay tuned for more updates!

Settle down with a franchise
Mail Boxes Etc. offered Jane Muffitt the opportunity to return to her roots and embrace a whole new career path; one that continues to bring her great enjoyment and satisfaction.
"I was confident that the potential for profit and growth was strong in the city, which has a good representation of MBE's target markets."
Mail Boxes Etc. (MBE) York franchise owner, Jane Muffitt, wanted a new direction after a long career in the hospitality sector, which had taken her all over the world and brought her into contact with the rich and famous.
She had worked in hotels, on ships and international theme parks, including Disneyland Paris and Walt Disney World. She spent a month in India training the crew for P & O's "Oriana" and met the Queen and Prince Philip at the luxury liner's launch.
Jane first came across franchising when she worked in a hotel franchise. When she decided she needed a change, she began some serious research and re-discovered franchising's benefits and advantages that offered reduced risk, positive brand identity, a proven business model and ongoing support.
Originally from West Yorkshire, Jane chose to return to her roots with a MBE franchise. "My first impression, gained from meeting franchise owners, franchise support staff and the head office team, was very positive," Jane says. "I was confident that the potential for profit and growth was strong in the city, which has a good representation of MBE's target markets including the university, tourists throughout the year, local businesses and an affluent local population."
Jane has been running her store for six years. In the last 18 months she has concentrated on developing the antiques part of the business, working with auction houses to pack and ship rare and valuable items to all parts of the UK and abroad.
Some of the more interesting items have included a couple of Chinese dishes which had been listed by the auctioneers as being worth around £30, but which actually fetched £11,000 and were shipped back to the Orient, and a pair of very large stuffed sea eagles in a glass cabinet which went to a private buyer in London.
Jane wants to continue to grow her successful and profitable business and to start planning for retirement so she can realise her ambition to live in the French Alps. "It would be wonderful to have unlimited access to the slopes in the season," she concludes. "In the meantime, I am enjoying all the variety of my business and the people I meet every day."

When Achara got back into the garden, she stopped and waited, knowing that someone would soon be out to greet her. And eventually, Laoren came out of the tunnel into the garden with his candle held high, and he saw Achara, the two horses, then the shape of a man on the back of the horse.
"He's alive," Achara said sternly.
"By the Light, you have found him!" Laoren said. "May I never doubt you ever again, child. Please forgive me for not believing you before."
Achara swallowed hard, then said, "There's nothing to apologize for. The important thing is that Camon is back here, safe."
"I can't even imagine what you had to go through to get him…"
"I'll tell you later," she said. "He needs a bed, food, and drink."
"Right this way," Laoren said. He led Achara and the horses through the tunnels to a room with a high bed on it with a priest's table next to it. The room also had a large, glass front cabinet filled with bottles, cordials, viles, and flasks of liquids of all colors. On a nearby shelf, there were several instruments and apparatuses that Achara could not identify. "This is our infirmary," Laoren said. "We can keep him here. I will have Yiew have a look at him as soon as I can wake him."
"Who is Yiew?" Achara asked, "I don't think I've met him."
"He's a former priest from the east," Laoren said. "He served as a Healer in Rahtneua for many years and then as an instructor at a monastery teaching the healing arts before coming here."
"How is that you can help him now, but not out there on the mesa?" Achara asked.
"Here, in the library, we do what we need to do to survive," Laoren said.
"But you would be helping him, thus helping the world," she said. "How is this different?"
"Our guiding principles are not meant to be taken as rules," he said. "When someone is here, we help them. But we don't make it a point to go out of our way to do so." Laoren lit a few candles in the room, and Achara coaxed Camon's horse to lay down. She, with the help of Laoren, got him off the horse and into the bed. "He can rest now," Laoren said. "I'll go get Yiew."
Achara pulled the covers of the bed up over Camon and sat down in a chair next to him. She waited in silence for about fifteen minutes before Laoren came back with Yiew. Yiew ambled with a cane behind Laoren. He too had white hair and wore the long white robes like the other residents of the library did. Yiew saw Camon and Achara and smiled at her, but then went right to Camon's side. He then arranged the stones on the priest's table, and he hummed summoning magic. He then laid his hands on Camon's shoulder and side for several minutes before letting the magic fade. "There now," he said. "He did manage to crack a few ribs and dislocate a shoulder, but he should be able to heal completely in a few weeks. I've helped relax some of the muscles and get his shoulder realigned. He had some internal bleeding too, but that's stopped now. It's a good thing you found him when you did. I don't think he would have lasted much longer in his state. He's a little dehydrated, but I think he will be just fine."
"Thank you," Achara said.
Yiew continued, "As for his coma, I can't say much to address that. Sometimes, a body will faint as a way to help alleviate pain. He certainly has had a lot of that. There's also the residual effects of magic all over him. Maligned magic can also produce this effect."
"I've seen that before," Achara said. "The Healers in Rahtneua were able to restore a girl I know who was the victim of mixing magic."
"Rahtneua has the best Healers in all the known world," Yiew said. "I was one of them at a time, but that's really outside my area of expertise. I would be hesitant to try and treat that."
"I understand," Achara said.
"Time is your best cure for his ailments," Yiew said. "It's best to let him rest now. And you too need rest."
"I know," she said. "It's just hard to right now. But thank you again."
"I understand," Yiew said with a smile. He then walked out of the room.
"Yiew is right," Achara said. "I'll let him rest."
"Good call," Laoren said. With that, she blew out the candles, and she and Laoren led the horses back to the stable where Achara unsaddled them and gave them a rub, singing to them as she did. After this, she went back to the room with the cupboard and ate some food. She hadn't realized how hungry she was until now. The meal was simple, but satisfying along with the water. She felt much better after that. She then found her way back to her room and, in the darkness, got in the bed and fell asleep again.
When she woke, she again had no idea what time it was. She got out of bed and dressed and found her way back to the room she had eaten. Before she got there, she could see daylight coming through the opening in the ceiling. When she entered the room, the brightness of daylight was almost blinding, but her eyes adjusted, and she could see that she was in the room with Jorn, who was seated at the table eating.
"Welcome back," he said.
Achara ignored him and went to the cupboard and opened them. There was bread and some cheese that she removed, and she ate them without sitting at the table wordlessly.
"You can sit at the table," he said. "I won't bite you."
Achara continued to ignore him. She then found a cup and a pitcher of water and poured a drink and again drank it wordlessly without looking at Jorn.
"At least you can say hello," Jorn said.
Achara turned and looked at him with a scowl on her face, then turned and started walking back towards the tunnel that led to the stables.
"That was a brave thing you did there!" he shouted to her.
"The difference between bravery and stupidity is the outcome," she retorted.
Jorn laughed, "That's pretty good. Where did you hear that?"
"Camon says it a lot," she answered.
"I'm glad that he's safe now," Jorn said. "Laoren told me you brought him back last night."
"Yeah, he's safe," she said, and she then turned to walk away.
"I'm sorry I was a prig yesterday," he shouted back.
Achara paused in her steps again. She turned around and walked back into the room and asked, "What did you say?"
"I said I was sorry," Jorn said.
"Why are you all of a sudden trying to play nice?" she asked. "You've been nothing but a pain since we met. I admit it wasn't under the best circumstances, but you were a prig even right after Camon about died saving your life!"
He started, "Look, kid –"
"Don't call me kid," Achara interrupted.
"Fine," he said. "Chill for a minute. You can lose the tough girl attitude."
"You could lose the patronizing attitude," she said.
"Look, I know I'm not tactful," he explained. "I'm no saint, and I know I lack manners. But I was talking to Laoren. He got me thinking about a lot of things, like how I treated you. He admired your courage to stand up to him and your loyalty to Camon. There's a lot more to you than meets the eye. You carry that tough girl attitude around, but that's not who you are. I just didn't see it. And I'm sorry."
"Jorn, I want to believe you, but I can't," Achara rebutted. "So please try to understand if I don't find your apology sincere. You've doubted me at every turn. You've done nothing to make things easier for me. I just about lost Camon, and you mocked me for it. An apology isn't going to make all that go away."
"Understandable," he said. "But can we agree to at least get off each other's back?"
"I think it would be best if you didn't speak to me for a while," she said.
"Fine then," Jorn said. "It's going to be hard to ignore each other, though."
Achara squinted her eyes and cocked her head, "Until such a time as I deem fit to change my mind, I'll do my best." She then spun around and walked away from him. Jorn said nothing as he watched her go down the tunnel and disappear into the darkness.
Achara found her way to Camon's room, and she went in. There was a candle lit in the room, and he was propped up and cleaned up. His clothes had been removed and replaced with a linen tunic, his face washed, his hair combed, and his beard trimmed. If Achara didn't know better, she would have thought him to be merely napping on the bed. She sat down in the chair next to his bed and reached for the saddlebag that had his things in it. She removed his sword, five stones, and the journal and laid them all on the table next to the chair. She then turned back to Camon and laid her hand on his and closed her eyes. "Oh, Camon," she whispered. "Where are you?" She then felt his hand twitch as she spoke to him in the whisper. She opened her eyes and looked at his face. He was still lying on the pillow as before. She then closed her eyes again, and this time asked in a whisper, "What happened?" There was no reply. She then sighed, "Just a whim, I guess." But she stayed by his side for the better part of an hour looking over him.
After a while, Yiew came in. "Oh," he said. "There you are. Laoren has been looking for you."
"Has he?" she asked.
"Yes," he said, "I believe he's in the garden right now."
"I'll go to him then," she said.
"Good thing," Yiew said. "I need to check our patient here. It's good to be able to heal again."
"Yes," Achara said. "And thank you for all you have done."
"Oh, you're quite welcome," Yiew said.
With that, Achara got up and left the room and took a series of tunnels to avoid having to cross paths with Jorn. She then emerged in the garden, which was ablaze with color in the daylight. She saw ample amounts of green, but there were also flowers red, orange, yellow, blue, and violet all about the terraces. Each terrace had an aqueduct that fed water to the plants that then fed the next level through a series of waterfalls that sang like music with the bubbling of water. Along with plants were bees buzzing and butterflies fluttering from flower to flower gathering nectar. The butterflies' brilliant patterns complemented the vibrant colors of the flowers in what looked like a living tapestry of color and details.
Achara stood in amazement, "In all the world, I've never seen a garden quite as lovely as this."
"It is quite impressive, isn't it?" Laoren remarked. "And to think that it's here in the middle of a desolate wasteland. But where there are life-giving elements, there you will find life."
"This is spring-fed," she remarked. "And it's quite literally magical. I can feel the rushing sensation."
"Very astute," Laoren said. "This garden and others like it in this place are fed by a Bohnamchiwit or more commonly called a Lifewell."
"I've never heard of that before," she said.
"That's probably because the one here is the only one known to exist in the whole world," Laoren said. "They are legendary like the Paladins in many ways. The waters are enchanted with life-giving properties that allow this and other gardens to flourish all year long. It's how we can feed ourselves here. We tend the gardens, and they bring forth fruits, vegetables, and grains – enough to feed everyone here and a few goats that we use for milk and cheese and chickens for eggs. We're completely self-sufficient because of it."
"That's incredible," she said. "Where is the well?"
"It's in another garden. I'll give you a tour when you're ready," Laoren said. "But the reason I called for you is to talk about what happened last night. Tell me what happened. How did you find and rescue Camon?"
"I found him using some things I've been practicing for months now," Achara said. "I found his presence and was able to use that to home in on his position. When I found him, he was on the ledge, just like the vision I had. I rigged up a rope and went down to him and was able to tie him up so that I could pull him out with the rope."
"And the aphiptere?" Laoren asked.
"Dead," she said. "He somehow managed to slay it."
"Incredible," Laoren said. "Both his deed and yours. In all my years, I've never heard of anyone doing what you did or what he did, even in legends."
"So the vision was true," she said.
"There's absolutely no denying it now," Laoren said. "You have taught me much through this ordeal. Do you have any idea how he reached you?"
"I only found five stones when I found him," she said. "He sacrificed two of them. By my reckoning, it was the red one and the yellow one.
"Passion and truth. That is who you are."
"I'm no hero. I did it because it was the right thing to do. Camon would have done… no, Camon has done no less for me on many occasions."
"You've managed to win over Jorn through your actions," Laoren said.
"Yeah, but that's a whole different issue."
"I understand your bitterness towards him. And I don't blame you to be quite honest. He's not exactly the warmest individual. But try not to let the bitterness creep into your heart. It can unmake you."
"But that doesn't mean I have to like him. He's oily. A snake in the grass. I don't trust him, nor do I want anything to do with him."
"Indeed. But just be mindful that contempt will make your heart hate. You're right that you don't have to like him, but try not to hate him either. You can learn to be objective in relationships just like you can with knowledge."
"Thanks," Achara said. "Now, about that tour…"
"So, you would finally like to see the library, its books, and all of its gardens?" Laoren asked.
"Yes," she said with a smile. "I would."

Structure and dynamics of twin boundaries in (TMTSF) 2PF 6 were studied. From microscopic observations, they are planar in shape and their width is less than 20 mm. No change in their shape was found. Their movement and pair annihilation do not leave any trace in the crystal surface. Their motion under external force as well as spontaneous movement are intermittent and chaotic. Role of internal degree of freedom is essential.
