Title: Do Practical Standard Coupled Cluster Calculations Agree Better than Kohn–Sham Calculations with Currently Available Functionals When Compared to the Best Available Experimental Data for Dissociation Energies of Bonds to 3d Transition Metals?
Coupled-cluster (CC) methods have been extensively used as the high-level approach in quantum electronic structure theory to predict various properties of molecules when experimental results are unavailable. It is often assumed that CC methods, if they include at least up to connected-triple-excitation quasiperturbative corrections to a full treatment of single and double excitations (in particular, CCSD(T)), and a very large basis set, are more accurate than Kohn–Sham (KS) density functional theory (DFT). In the present work, we tested and compared the performance of standard CC and KS methods on bond energy calculations of 20 3d transition metal-containing diatomic molecules against the most reliable experimental data available, as collected in a database called 3dMLBE20. It is found that, although the CCSD(T) and higher levels CC methods have mean unsigned deviations from experiment that are smaller than most exchange-correlation functionals for metal–ligand bond energies of transition metals, the improvement is less than one standard deviation of the mean unsigned deviation. Furthermore, on average, almost half of the 42 exchange-correlation functionals that we tested are closer to experiment than CCSD(T) with the same extended basis set for the same molecule. The results show that, when both relativistic and core–valence correlation effects are considered,more » even the very high-level (expensive) CC method with single, double, triple, and perturbative quadruple cluster operators, namely, CCSDT(2)Q, averaged over 20 bond energies, gives a mean unsigned deviation (MUD(20) = 4.7 kcal/mol when one correlates only valence, 3p, and 3s electrons of transition metals and only valence electrons of ligands, or 4.6 kcal/mol when one correlates all core electrons except for 1s shells of transition metals, S, and Cl); and that is similar to some good xc functionals (e.g., B97-1 (MUD(20) = 4.5 kcal/mol) and PW6B95 (MUD(20) = 4.9 kcal/mol)) when the same basis set is used. We found that, for both coupled cluster calculations and KS calculations, the T1 diagnostics correlate the errors better than either the M diagnostics or the B1 DFT-based diagnostics. The potential use of practical standard CC methods as a benchmark theory is further confounded by the finding that CC and DFT methods usually have different signs of the error. We conclude that the available experimental data do not provide a justification for using conventional single-reference CC theory calculations to validate or test xc functionals for systems involving 3d transition metals.« less

Density functional theory study of the interaction of vinyl radical, ethyne, and ethene with benzene, aimed to define an affordable computational level to investigate stability trends in large van der Waals complexes

Our purpose is to identify a computational level sufficiently dependable and affordable to assess trends in the interaction of a variety of radical or closed shell unsaturated hydro-carbons A adsorbed on soot platelet models B. These systems, of environmental interest, would unavoidably have rather large sizes, thus prompting to explore in this paper the performances of relatively low-level computational methods and compare them with higher-level reference results. To this end, the interaction of three complexes between non-polar species, vinyl radical, ethyne, or ethene (A) with benzene (B) is studied, since these species, involved themselves in growth processes of polycyclic aromaticmore » hydrocarbons (PAHs) and soot particles, are small enough to allow high-level reference calculations of the interaction energy ΔE{sub AB}. Counterpoise-corrected interaction energies ΔE{sub AB} are used at all stages. (1) Density Functional Theory (DFT) unconstrained optimizations of the A−B complexes are carried out, using the B3LYP-D, ωB97X-D, and M06-2X functionals, with six basis sets: 6-31G(d), 6-311 (2d,p), and 6-311++G(3df,3pd); aug-cc-pVDZ and aug-cc-pVTZ; N07T. (2) Then, unconstrained optimizations by Møller-Plesset second order Perturbation Theory (MP2), with each basis set, allow subsequent single point Coupled Cluster Singles Doubles and perturbative estimate of the Triples energy computations with the same basis sets [CCSD(T)//MP2]. (3) Based on an additivity assumption of (i) the estimated MP2 energy at the complete basis set limit [E{sub MP2/CBS}] and (ii) the higher-order correlation energy effects in passing from MP2 to CCSD(T) at the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set, ΔE{sub CC-MP}, a CCSD(T)/CBS estimate is obtained and taken as a computational energy reference. At DFT, variations in ΔE{sub AB} with basis set are not large for the title molecules, and the three functionals perform rather satisfactorily even with rather small basis sets [6-31G(d) and N07T], exhibiting deviation from the computational reference of less than 1 kcal mol{sup −1}. The zero-point vibrational energy corrected estimates Δ(E{sub AB}+ZPE), obtained with the three functionals and the 6-31G(d) and N07T basis sets, are compared with experimental D{sub 0} measures, when available. In particular, this comparison is finally extended to the naphthalene and coronene dimers and to three π−π associations of different PAHs (R, made by 10, 16, or 24 C atoms) and P (80 C atoms)« less
Benchmark Data for Interactions in Zeolite Model Complexes and Their Use for Assessment and Validation of Electronic Structure Methods
Journal Article Zhao, Yan ; Truhlar, Donald G. - Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 112(17):6860-6868
The research described in this product was performed in part in the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, a national scientific user facility sponsored by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research and located at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. We present benchmark binding energies for five zeolite model complexes, with four of the adsorbates bound noncovalently and one covalently. The binding energies were determined as the sum of the infinite-basis-set limit of Møller-Plesset second-order perturbation theory (MP2) energies and a CCSD(T) correction term evaluated with the aug-cc-pVDZ basis set. The basis set limit of MP2 energies was determined bymore » two-point extrapolation using the aug-cc-pVXZ basis sets for X ) D and T and separate extrapolation of the Hartree- Fock and correlation energies. We found that correlation contributions beyond MP2 to the final binding energies are small; their magnitude is in the range of 0.02-1.0 kcal/mol. For the MP2 method to describe the interactions in these zeolite model systems accurately, one needs to use a basis set at least the size of aug-cc-pVTZ in conjunction with counterpoise corrections. Final binding energies (kcal/mol) of the model complexes are in the range of 3.5-19.5 kcal/mol, and they were used as reference data to test 6 wave function methods and 41 density functionals. Among the tested density functional methods, M06-L/6-31+G(d,p) gives a mean unsigned error (MUE) without counterpoise correction of 0.87 kcal/mol. With counterpoise corrections, the M06-2X and M05-2X functionals give the best performance. The MUE with counterpoise corrections for the M06-2X/6-311+G(2df,2p)//MP2/6-311+G(2df,2p) level of theory is 0.39 kcal/mol. With the DFT/6-31+G- (d,p) geometries and the 6-311+G(2df,2p) basis set, M05-2X and M06-2X give MUEs with counterpoise corrections of 0.40 and 0.52 kcal/mol, respectively. Tests against the binding energies of four complexes (two noncovalent and two covalent) of the adsoption of isobutene on a large 16T zeolite model cluster confirmed that M06-L, M06, M05-2X, and M06-2X are very promising quantum mechanical methods for hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) simulations of zeolites. In fact the performance of these four Minnesota functionals, as compared to other high-quality functionals, is relatively even better for the larger 16T clusters than for the smaller 3T ones.« less

Hydrogen Activation by Silica Supported Metal Ion Catalysts: Catalytic Properties of Metals and Performance of DFT Functionals
Journal Article Plascencia, Cesar ; Curtiss, Larry A. ; Liu, Cong - Journal of Physical Chemistry. A, Molecules, Spectroscopy, Kinetics, Environment, and General Theory
Single-site heterogeneous catalysts (SSHC) have received increasing attention due to their well-defined active sites and potentially high specific activity. Detailed computational studies were carried out on a set of potential SSHC's, i.e., silica-supported metal ions, to investigate the reactivity of these catalysts with H2 as well as to evaluate the performance of density functional theory (DFT) methods in conjunction with triple-ζ quality basis sets (i.e., cc-pVTZ) on reaction energetics. The ions considered include 4d and 5d metals as well as several post-transition metal ions. A representative cluster model of silica is used to calculate reaction free energies of the metalmore » hydride formation that results from the heterolytic cleavage of H2 on the M–O bond. The hydride formation free energy is previously shown to be strongly correlated with the catalytic activity of such catalysts for alkene hydrogenation. ONIOM calculations (CCSD(T)//MP2) are used to assess the accuracy and reliability of the MP2 results and it is found that MP2 is a suitable level of theory for gauging the performance of DFT functionals. The performance of various DFT functionals is assessed relative to MP2 results and it is found that the wB97xd and PBE0 functionals have the lowest standard deviation (STD) value while the MN12SX and PBE functionals have the lowest mean absolute deviation (MAD) values. The B3LYP functional is shown to have similar MAD and STD values as the top performing functionals. Potential active SSHC's for exergonic hydrogen activation predicted in this study include mostly late and post transition metal ions, i.e., Au3+, Pd2+, Pt4+, Pd4+, Ir4+, Hg2+, Rh3+, Pb4+, Tl3+, In3+, Ir3+, Os4+, Cd2+, Ru2+, and Ga3+. This study provides important guidance to future computational studies of such catalyst systems.« less

Binding Energy of d¹º Transition Metals to Alkenes By Wave Function Theory and Density Functional Theory
Journal Article Averkiev, Boris B ; Zhao, Yan ; Truhlar, Donald G - Journal of Molecular Catalysis. A, Chemical., 324(1-2):80-88
The structures of Pd(PH₃)₂ and Pt(PH₃)₂ complexes with ethene and conjugated CnH n+2 systems (n=4, 6, 8, and 10) were studied. Their binding energies were calculated using both wave function theory (WFT) and density functional theory (DFT). Previously it was reported that the binding energy of the alkene to the transition metal does not depend strongly on the size of the conjugated C nH n+2 ligand, but that DFT methods systematically underestimate the binding energy more and more significantly as the size of the conjugated system is increased. Our results show that recently developed density functionals predict the binding energymore » for these systems much more accurately. New benchmark calculations carried out by the coupled cluster method based on Brueckner orbitals with double excitations and a quasiperturbative treatment of connected triple excitations (BCCD(T)) with a very large basis set agree even better with the DFT predictions than do the previous best estimates. The mean unsigned error in absolute and relative binding energies of the alkene ligands to Pd(PH₃)₂ is 2.5 kcal/mol for the ωB97 and M06 density functionals and 2.9 kcal/mol for the M06-L functional. Adding molecular mechanical damped dispersion yields even smaller mean unsigned errors: 1.3 kcal/mol for the M06-D functional, 1.5 kcal/mol for M06- L-D, and 1.8 kcal/mol for B97-D and ωB97X-D. The new functionals also lead to improved accuracy for the analogous Pt complexes. These results show that recently developed density functionals may be very useful for studying catalytic systems involving Pd d¹º centers and alkenes.« less

Quantum Chemical Calculations of the Cl- + CH3I → CH3Cl + I- Potential Energy Surface
Journal Article Zhang, Jiaxu ; Lourderaj, Upakarasamy ; Addepalli, Srirangam V. ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 113(10):1976-1984
Electronic structure theory calculations, using MP2 theory and the DFT functionals OPBE, OLYP, HCTH407, BhandH, and B97-1, were performed to characterize the structures, vibrational frequencies, and energies for stationary points on the Cl- + CH3I → ClCH3 + I- potential energy surface. The aug-cc-pVDZ and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets, with an effective core potential (ECP) for iodine, were employed. Single-point CCSD(T) calculations were performed to obtain the complete basis set (CBS) limit for the reaction energies. DFT was found to give significantly longer halide ion/carbon atom bond lengths for the ion-dipole complexes and central barrier transition state, than MP2. BhandH, withmore » either the aug-cc-pVDZ and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets, gives good agreement with the experimental structures for both CH3I and CH3Cl. The frequencies of CH3I and CH3Cl, obtained with the different level of theory and basis sets, are in excellent agreement with experiment. The major difference between the MP2 and DFT frequencies is for the imaginary frequency of the central barrier. Using the aug-cc-pVTZ basis the MP2 value for this frequency ranges from 1.26 - 1.59 times larger than those for the DFT functional. Thus, the MP2 and DFT theories have different PES shapes in the vicinity of the [Cl--CH3--I]- central barrier. The CCSD(T)/CBS energies are in good agreement with experiments for the complexation energies and reaction exothermicity, with a small 1 kcal/mol difference for the latter. The CCSD(T)/CBS central barrier height is lower than values deduced by using statistical theoretical models to fit the Cl- + CH3I → ClCH3 + I- experimental rate constant, which is consistent with the expected non-statistical dynamics for the reaction. The BhandH energies are in overall best agreement with the CCSD(T) values, with a largest difference of only 0.7 kcal/mol.« less

Meet Indian Sandalwood
Your chill pal, Indian Sandalwood.
Your chill friend on the block- Indian Sandalwood
We could always use a little chill in our day, are we right? Relaxation is the most common culprit when new users begin their venture into aromatherapy. While lavender is usually the first essential oil users are looking for, likely because it's the ONLY essential oil they are aware of, it's not the only oil that will offer the chillaxing benefit users crave. Make some wiggle room, lavender, because Indian sandalwood is in the house. Indian Sandalwood, also properly known as Santalum album, has been used as early as 1,000 AD – not their first stroll around the block. It's been used by ancient Egyptians for embalming, Buddhists have dabbled in its use for depression and anxiety and Tibetan monks for relaxation and focus. Woah, this powerhouse of a botanical is worth exploring!
So, what does Indian sandalwood look like?
Indian sandalwood (Santalum album) essential oil comes from the heartwood of the sandalwood tree, which is a member of the evergreen family. The tree has an abundance of branches with leathery leaves and small pink-purple flowers. It takes 30- 60 YEARS for the tree to mature enough to extract the essential oil (um…woah). Ain't nobody got time for that…well, we do! Once it has matured, it's cut down into thin scrapings, then steam distilled to extract the b-e-a-utiful essential oil. Due to the length of time it takes for the tree to mature, the essential oil has become an expensive, prized oil on the market.
The aroma of Indian sandalwood is woody, lightly sweet and pale yellow in color.
Where the heck does it come from?
Indian sandalwood was originally native to India (surprise, surprise), however, after decades of overharvesting left it a threatened species, it's now grown in Australia as well.
Bet you didn't know…
Indian sandalwood was originally native to India, however, after decades of overharvesting left it a threatened species, it's now grown in Australia.
Indian sandalwood essential oil has been commonly used for the last 200 years, however, as it grew in popularity, India couldn't keep up with the growth demand. As it became more challenging to get the essential oil, naturally the price increased. Because it takes so many decades for an Indian sandalwood tree to mature and be ready for harvest into a bottle of goodness, there were high risks of running completely out of the essential oil before additional trees had matured. In a panic to preserve what trees were left, India banned selling the essential oil twice to manage the demand, unfortunately that encouraged illegal exporting of the oil (eek!).
Indian sandalwood trees are now grown on farms in Australia, in environments that mimic that of India, to encourage the trees to naturally create the essential oil. Luckily, there is more of a balance in the system now, and we are happy to provide you with the finest Indian sandalwood that has lived a happy, LEGAL life.
Indian sandalwood blends well with floral oils such as: geranium, jasmine, lavender and rose.
Quick tips with Indian sandalwood:
Inhale to calm during high stress situations.
Blend with fractionated coconut oil and apply as a chest rub to clear.
Diffuse for 30 minutes before bed to relax into a peaceful slumber.
Mix with your favorite unscented lotion for a woodsy moisturizer.
Get your hands on Indian sandalwood today to add to your essential oil collection of loveliness!

I just read that this is not Indian Sandalwood, but Indian trees grown in Australia. Your post is misleading. Sorry, but it is. It is not the same as trees grown in India. Environment plays a part in what is produced.
I have purchased from Australia, and the oils have distinctly different aromas. I do not like Sandalwood from Australia. It is not remotely the same as the oil produced in its native country even if they are trees from that region.
I will continue to cherish the oils I have had, and continue to save it for myself. No oil outside of India will ever compare.
Sarah Beth B
Santalum Album IS the scientific name for the Indian Sandalwood varietal. Whether it's grown in India, or another comparable weather/climate/altitude, this is the name for this particular variety of the species.
There are also native sandalwood species to Australia. One of which is known as Australian Sandalwood (or Santalum Spicatum) also grown for use as an oil. Perhaps that's the one you purchased/used/smelled instead of Indian Sandalwood.

US Romana was een Italiaanse voetbalclub uit de hoofdstad Rome.

Geschiedenis
De club werd op 12 oktober 1917 opgericht en nam in 1919/20 voor het eerst deel aan de Prima Categoria, de toenmalige hoogste klasse die nog onderverdeeld was in regionale kampioenschappen. US Romana speelde in een groep met zes andere clubs uit Roma en werd voorlaatste. De volgende seizoenen eindigde de club ook steevast in de lagere middenmoot. In 1924 fusioneerde de club met Pro Roma en werd zo US Pro Patria.

Country/pop star Kacey Musgraves burns bright in an emotional St. Paul tour opener
Sitting at home on Sunday, Dan Bailey watched an afternoon of football games pivot on missed field-goal attempts and knew his phone could start ringing quickly.
Less than 24 hours later, he was on his way to Minnesota for a physical and workout, which led to him signing a one-year, $2 million deal with the Vikings on Tuesday after the team released rookie Daniel Carlson. On Wednesday, before he took the field for his first practice as the Vikings' new kicker, Bailey took a moment to empathize with Carlson and former Browns kicker Zane Gonzalez, the two young players who had just fallen off the NFL's kicking tightrope.
Listen: Inside the Vikings' change at kicker with veteran Dan Bailey
Ben Goessling and Andrew Krammer discuss the Vikings' move at kicker after rookie Daniel Carlson was waived. (5:00) On why Dan Bailey was available, and what he brings to the Vikings. (16:00) The woeful Bills come to town this Sunday. (25:00) Gauging Pat Elflein's timeline to return. (30:00) Your Twitter questions on defensive back playing time, issues on grass fields and the receivers.
"It was tough to watch; I wish I was out there. In the same breath, I know what those guys are going through," Bailey said. "I've had games like that before. It's tough. It's hard to fix that in the moment when you're young and haven't seen a lot of ball. On one hand, I was looking at it as an opportunity, but I never wish bad on anybody at our position. Your heart just goes out to guys like that when they have a day like that because it's tough."
Bailey, the second-most accurate kicker in NFL history, lost his job in Dallas at the end of training camp as the Cowboys made a move to save money, but he'd also struggled in 2017, missing four games because of a groin injury and hitting only 75 percent of his kicks.
"I haven't had any injuries throughout my career, so that was my first time dealing with that," he said. "I'm not going to say I came back too soon. I think I was definitely ready to go back out and compete. I think maybe the rhythm was skewed a little bit, just taking that time off and then trying to jump right back in to being at the top of my game. … When I was healthy, I felt like I performed really well. I've tried to focus more on that and carry that into the offseason. I thought I had a really good offseason, good camp, so I'm excited to move forward."
Cook, Griffen miss practice
Running back Dalvin Cook, who said he left Sunday's game in Green Bay because of cramps in his hamstring, did not practice Wednesday after going through warmups drills. After practice, Cook said he's "just taking it day by day" and he'll "see how it's feeling by the end of the week."
Defensive end Everson Griffen also missed practice because of a knee injury, and tackle Rashod Hill (ankle), tight end David Morgan (knee) and punt returner Marcus Sherels (chest) all sat out. Center Pat Elflein was a full participant in practice for the first time this year, though he continued to work with backup quarterback Trevor Siemian in individual drills while Brett Jones worked with Kirk Cousins.
Don't dwell on drops
After catching his first NFL touchdown pass Sunday, wide receiver Laquon Treadwell had a pair of costly second-half drops, including one that turned into an interception after it bounced off his hands. The key to helping Treadwell move on from a rocky performance, Cousins said, is not to focus on it with him.
"I think you just get right back on the practice field, throw him the football, and in a lot of ways, act like nothing happened," Cousins said. "Let's just get back to work. We don't need to dwell on it. I think it's something we can just move on from. We don't have to dwell on it a whole lot."
Robinson, Cousins reunited
After coming to Washington together in 2012 as part of the same Redskins draft class, Cousins and Aldrick Robinson reunited in Minnesota this week when the Vikings signed him to a one-year deal for the veteran minimum salary.
Robinson, who worked out for the Vikings on Sept. 7, credited Cousins for helping him land in Minnesota.
"We have history together. He's one of the main reasons why I'm here also," Robinson said. "He tells all the guys that I was available, and I did my part."

The Revival of Youth Councils in the Philippines
By Raphael Móntes, Jr., Center for Local and Regional Governance, NCPAG, University of the Philippines
Newly elected Sangguniang Kabataan officials at the mandatory training facilitated by University of the Philippines-National College of Public Administration and Governance
After five years of dormancy, Filipinos 15 to 30 years old have elected new sets of Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) or Youth Councils in their villages (barangay). This segment makes up about 30 percent of the Philippines' total population of 104 million. The youth council elections were synchronized with the election of the Village Councils (Sangguniang Barangay) for the 42,029 urban and rural villages nationwide. This meant that 18 to 30- year-old voters had to fill in two ballots—one for the village government and one for the youth council. Like their village counterparts, the SKs are composed of a Chairperson and seven council members. A total of 336,232 SK positions were contested in the 2018 elections.
Barangay councils are still considered general purpose authorities while SKs can be considered as special purpose entities—specifically focused on youth-related programs. While the SKs are considered part of the barangay government, the law also grants some autonomy to the SKs.
Political Origins
The Kabataang Barangay (or Village Youth) was the precursor of the SK. Established in 1975, the KB was seen as the youth arm of the authoritarian regime of former President Ferdinand Marcos. While the KB would be easily mistaken to be the Filipino version of similar youth organizations for national propaganda, the KB was meant to give the youth a chance to be involved in community affairs. They were given specific developmental responsibilities such as sports, education and culture at the village level. KB chairpersons became ex-officio members of barangay councils. The KB chairpersons elected officers to the KB federation at the municipal, city and provincial levels. These federation presidents sat as ex-officio members of municipal and city councils and provincial boards. Not long after, local politicians began fielding their children as officials in the KB possibly prompted by the "election" of Mr. Marcos' daughter, Imee, as the first national president of the KB Federation. The KBs lasted until the end of the Marcos regime but had been criticized for being manipulated by the politicians as well as the breeding ground of local political dynasties. Towards the end of the Marcos Regime in 1986, many of the youth lost interest in the KB and began joining the student movements heavily involved in calling for the restoration of democracy.
Rebirth as Development Enabler
After the People Power Revolution and the restoration of democracy in 1986, the entire public sector underwent a "de-Marcosification" process that sought to rid the government of the vestiges of the authoritarian machinery. However, the authors of the 1991 Local Government Code would preserve the basic structure of the KB and reincarnate it as a democratizing institution. Decentralization and devolution under the Local Government Code was driven by the desire to avoid the concentration of power in just one political actor or just in the central government. Legislators saw the development potential of the refurbished Sangguniang Kabataan as a formal venue for voicing youth issues in the public sector.
The consultative and voluntary spirit of the KB carried over to the concept of the SK. Sections 423 to 439 of the Local Government Code were specifically devoted to the institutionalization of the SK in the local government system. The ex-officio positions in the formal legislative councils were retained. The Code gave the SK a portfolio of program areas and a 10-percent share of the general fund of the barangay (R.A. 7160, Section 329) as their own trust fund for youth-oriented projects. The Barangay Councils were still tasked with the general supervision over the SKs because the SKs drew their budgets from the barangay budget. This would affect the operations and quality of projects of the SKs later.
"Breeding Ground" for Corruption
In the Philippine local government system, the barangay level is legally defined as non-partisan and voluntary. Officials do not receive salaries and are only given honoraria/token allowance for services rendered during council meetings. The barangay level was purposely designed to appeal to "civic duty" more than political ambition. While barangays and the SKs are considered as "voluntary" bodies, their proximity and access to public funds have tainted their reputations.
A 2007 UNICEF and Department of the Interior and Local Government study pointed out the worsening reputation of the SK as effective venues for youth voice and delivery of youth-oriented services. The typical SK projects were village or inter-village basketball matches (pa-liga), beauty contests, house numbering, construction of village markers/welcome arches/government directories. SKs in richer urban barangays (with higher internal revenue shares and local revenues) often have big-ticket projects that may reach up to millions of pesos. Some reports indicate that the Barangay Councils would "request" SKs to contribute to barangay infrastructure projects. If these infrastructure projects are later audited for misappropriation of public funds, the SKs are also held jointly culpable. This has resulted in the widely accepted perception that the SKs are a breeding ground for corruption.
Several bills were filed in Congress to abolish the SK citing the widely held perception of the early exposure of youth to embedded corrupt practices in government. However, national and local government leaders who began their careers as KB or SK officials sought to find a middle path that would reform the SK taking into consideration the apprehensions and negative perceptions of the youth body.
Constituency Confused
Unlike the constitutionally defined terms of office of provincial, city and municipal officials, the terms of offices of barangay officials—and also of SK officials—are only defined by statutes. This has led to some postponements of village elections and extension of terms for barangay officials on a hold-over capacity. For the SK, there had been several statutes that have changed the definition of the youth constituency as well as the qualified age for SK officials. This has been prompted by complaints over overlapping electorates as well as issues of personal autonomy, age of discernment and adult manipulation. There were also criticisms that youth officials are not able to concentrate and balance their time between official duties and school/university studies.
Period of formal youth participation in government decision-making
Who are qualified to be youth officials?
Who are qualified to elect youth officials?
1975-1985 Kabataang Barangay
15 to 18-year-olds
1991 (enactment of Local Government Code)
2002 (Republic Act 9164)
15 to 17-year olds
2016 (SK Reform Law)
18 to 24 year-olds
The latest definition of the youth constituency and the qualified age for election is defined by the SK Reform Act of 2016. This law expands the youth electorate to include 15 to 30 year-olds which reflects the official definition of youth in the Philippines. However, in response to calls for electing youth officials within the age of discernment, the law qualifies 18 to 24 year-olds as electable. "Youth constituents aged 25 to 30 were consciously excluded from the qualified age for election because they are already qualified to contest positions in the barangay council or any other local government legislature." explains National Movement of Youth Legislators (NMYL) Executive Director Fritzie Aguado. Since the new law aims to prevent political dynasties, giving access to young members of political dynasties to extended terms with the SK before running for other positions in local governments defeats the spirit of the anti-dynasty provisions of the law.
SK Reform: Not Giving up on the Youth
Republic Act 10742 or the SK Reform Act was passed in 2016 to recalibrate the Sanggunian Kabataan as a better institution for the youth participation in local governance. The SK Reform Act has five main features: (1) the expansion of age qualifications; (2) the anti-dynasty provision; (3) financial autonomy; (4) the establishment of the Youth Development Councils; and (5) mandatory and continuing training.
The age expansion enables young people who are in university, recently graduated from university or are just beginning their careers to formally participate in local governance as representatives of their sector. This "age of discernment" also aims to bolster the reaffirmation of financial autonomy of SKs. Eighteen to 24-year-olds are now legally allowed to sign contracts on their own account without adult consent or supervision. Consequently, they can be held fully accountable for their actions under the accountability and anti-corruption laws of the Philippines.
The anti-dynasty provision forbids any 18 to 24-year old from contesting a seat in the SK if he or she is related to an incumbent local official up to the second degree of affinity or consanguinity. This is the first time in Philippine history that a prohibition has been imposed on candidates vying for elected office based on family ties.
The Local Youth Development Council (LYDC) is an equivalent of multi-sectoral planning bodies called Local Development Councils that are present in all barangays, municipalities, cities and provinces. The LYDC will be established at the city, municipal and provincial levels in order to integrate the youth development plans from the barangays/villages. They are designed to be the consultative body of the SK federations. They are made up of representatives from youth and youth-serving non-government organizations.
Finally, mandatory training is another pioneering feature of this law. SK officials are the only elected local government officials required to undergo mandatory training as a prerequisite to their assumption to office. Those who refuse or fail to undergo the mandatory training are disqualified and prevented from assuming office on 30 June 2018. While similar crash courses are available to other elected local officials, these have not been made prerequisites to assumption of office.
Mandatory training session
The National Youth Commission and the Department of the Interior and Local Government designed the training modules. The UP-National College of Public Administration and Governance (UP-NCPAG) is part of the National Steering Committee for the SK Mandatory Training. The mandatory trainings were delivered by accredited Local Resource Institutions, mainly state colleges and universities. A package of training modules for continuing education is currently being designed.
SK officials pose with their certificates after the mandatory training
These five main features are expected to improve the effectiveness and enhance the relevance of SKs as the formal voice of the youth sector in governance.
The involvement of idealistic young adults is expected to insulate the SK from the influences of entrenched interests in government. Despite the imperfections, the SKs remain a unique institutional approach to giving voice to 30 percent of the population as opposed to proxy mechanisms or non-formal options for the youth sector.
Raphael Montes Jr. is a researcher, federalism expert and training manager with Center for Local and Regional Governance, NCPAG, University of the Philippines. He serves as a Course Manager for the mandatory training of newly elected SK officials.

Again, I think calling Juggalos a gang gives them way too much credit. And is it me or does this guy look like a clown even without the make up?
Anyway that's 19-year-old Dante Kirpal Kier. He was arrested for allegedly breaking into a family's home in Kalispell, Montana and trying to stab the homeowner to death with a steak knife. The victim received stab wounds to his arm and the inside of his mouth but was able to subdue Kier. The man's wife and kids were home at the time as well. According to police not only did Kier admit to being a Juggalo but he also admitted wanting to kill because 'it felt good'.
Yet another mime who can't differentiate between a gimmick and reality. I say that because there are a lot of bands out there that have violent lyrics besides ICP but the majority of music fans know that those lyrics are just a gimmick. It just seems that the Juggalos have an inordinate number among them who try to live the gimmick. I'm not blaming the music just the individuals who take it too seriously.
Kier's father says that Kier has mental illness and drug abuse issues and that he should stay in jail out of concern for the public's safety as well as his son's. The public may be kept safe from Kier for an awfully long time as he is looking at 110 years on attempted murder charges. Maybe more clowns will see this and think twice before thinking they're such badasses.
It's not just you, my husband said he looks like one of The Jokers minions. That is a rough lookin 19, must be all that Fago.
My husband still bears the scar from when some wannabe "thug" stabbed him more than ten years ago. He, too, subdued his attacker. I feel bad for the husband who will also bear these physical scars, as well as his family, especially his children who will forever have to look upon them and remember the attack.
Here is where the frustration comes out… In my personal opinion, anyone who needs to hide behind a gun, knife, or any other weapon is just showing how weak they really are. Even as a female, I learned long ago how to defend myself using nothing but my bare hands. To this day, I am more willing to duke it out than any man I know. However, age brings both wisdom and responsibility, and I learned quickly to choose my battles. Even when I was young, fighting was meant only for defense. My parents taught me never to throw the first punch, and that is a lesson I have passed down to my own child.

https is pretty much preferred protocol over bare http nowadays and it gets very affordable for basic one sub-domain which you can get as low as $9 a year. However, how to get and use one sometimes pretty much overkill although it is rather simple. Yeah, I keep forgetting since I don't really have to do that frequent.
Depending on where you purchase SSL certificate, I pick namecheap. I don't have any reason for it, but they are as reliable as it could be. GoDaddy, to me, is okay–they tend to have lower renewal cost for domain too. Back to SSL certificate, you need to generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) to ask for SSL. I'm using openSSL.
Back to namecheap, issue your SSL, then paste content of whatever.csr to the form. Wait for a verification step via email. Then you would get your_site.zip with following mails. The whole process should take less than 10-15 minutes as far as my experience goes.
Merge those files into one, 10ninox-ssl-bundle.csr or whatever name you want.
ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1; means enables SSLv3/TLSv1, but not SSLv2 which is weak and should no longer be used.

John Dennis possessed a familiar face and a prolific career; he appeared in nearly 175 films and TV series, and played everything from wise bartenders to hardened sheriffs. He landed a major role as a vindictive Army sergeant in the 1953 Oscar-winning film "From Here to Eternity" and then worked steadily through the decade in minor films and TV series, most notably appearing as real-life New York gangster Dutch Schultz in the Prohibition crime series "The Lawless Years." Dennis landed a recurring role as a by-the-book police lieutenant on several episodes of the primetime mystery series "Perry Mason," and portrayed lawmen of various rank on shows like the modernized "Dragnet 1967" and the military sitcom "Gomer Pyle, United StatesM.C.." Though his work through the '70s was mainly in TV series like the gritty cop show "Baretta" and the medical drama "Quincy M.E.," Dennis did manage two memorable big-screen roles; he appeared as a straitlaced policeman in "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes," the fourth film in the popular sci-fi series, and portrayed an overworked city employee in the dystopian horror film "Soylent Green."

Arrest made in bicycle crash that claimed firefighter's life
October 9, 2019 Staff
Terry Gough, 52, Mugshot
Muscatine County Attorney Alan R. Ostergren has announced the arrest of a 52-year-old man in connection with an Aug. 12 bicycle crash that claimed the life of firefighter Devin Estabrook.
The incident happened in the area of 41st Street South and Grandview Avenue. Estabrook, a Grandview firefighter, was cycling in the area when he was struck. He later died from his injuries.
Authorities have charged Terry Gough, 52, of Morning Sun, Iowa for the offense of leaving the scene of a fatality accident, the county attorney's office said in a news release. The criminal complaint alleges that Gough was the operator of a commercial motor vehicle which struck Estabrook. The complaint further alleges that Gough did not stop and render aid as required by law, and that he later drove past the scene again when emergency vehicles were present investigating the incident.
Leaving the scene of a fatality accident is a class "D" felony punishable by a prison term of not to exceed five years and a fine of between $750 and $7,500.
Gough was arrested without incident and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Oct. 25 at 9 a.m.

Mitchell Robinson starts at center for Knicks season opener
By Stefan Bondy
With two other centers absent, Mitchell Robinson got the call.
Veteran Taj Gibson, who started every preseason game, was a late scratch for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Celtics following the birth of his child. It left Robinson, who hadn't played a meaningful game in seven months, as the starter and only center with NBA experience on the Knicks' roster.
"We want him to play hard. That's the big thing," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "We don't want him resting out there. We'll see. The only way you can do it is to go through it."
Robinson battled through exhaustion in his only preseason appearance last week, which followed an extended recovery of a fractured foot sustained in March. Robinson is in a contract year and searching for a big payday after playing at a discount through his first four seasons.
Nerlens Noel, the projected starting center after signing a three-year, $27 million deal in the summer, was out Wednesday because of knee pain. His absence was expected.
Thibodeau said he wouldn't rush Gibson back.
"Whenever he's ready, he's ready," Thibodeau said. "Taj, I have complete trust in. We're excited for him."

Suddenly without depth and starting a center still working through conditioning problems, Thibodeau's backup options included rookie Jericho Sims or a small-ball frontcourt of power forwards Julius Randle and Obi Toppin.
The Toppin-Randle combo was given extended minutes in the final preseason game and spurred a comeback victory. It adds pace and quick offense to the mix, but Thibodeau prefers to keep a traditional center in the lineup for rim protection.
"I like the versatility of that. It gives us a lot offensively. It's a different look defensively," Thibodeau said. "We're going to have to fly around and do different things. But I like having that as part of something we can do. And of course the elite rim protection when you do play big. So I think we have to do both."
Sims, meanwhile, impressed in preseason as the backup center but was benched for most of the final two games.
"We need everyone. We've talked about this all year," Thibodeau said. "That's why the approach is so important, attitude and approach, readiness. You never know when you'll be called upon. The benefit of the preseason was we had Nerlens out so Jericho was able to get some minutes. Mitch was out early on obviously. Then we also had the opportunity to look at Obi and Julius together as well. So we'll see how it unfolds."

Am I crazy or has it been great the first few starts...haven't seen that from a Reds pitcher in a while it seems. Gammons was saying tonight how pitching in the AL east really stepped up his pitching...so far it looks like that is the case!!!
Arroyo, when he's right, gets sick movement on everything he throws. The remarkable thing is he gets movement like that and he's got some control over it.
Mind you, the Cubs can make you look better than you perhaps are, but Arroyo has legitimate stuff. For those who were worried about his K rate, hopefully seeing the quality of his pitches has helped ease that fear a bit.
I am cautiously (very cautiously, he's a pitcher for the Reds for god's sake) optimistic. Some of his pitches today had ridiculous, illogical bends to them. I even pushed rewind on the TiVo today to watch a few of them again. Hope he can keep that up.
It was mentioned already, but I've been impressed with the command he has of these filfthy pitches. His breaking ball is sharp but he locates it really well.
Arroyo has No. 1 starter type stuff. It's only two starts, but he could be one of the NL's better starting pitchers this season if he continues pitching like he has.
I've always been impressed with Arroyo's stuff, watching him pitch with Boston. His major weakness is lefties, he just doesn't have the velocity, and his curve is easier to read from the left side.
It's fun watching NL hitters face him for the first time, seeing them freeze up, and grimace as they walk back to the dugout. Given his experience in Boston, Arroyo could prove to be a thorn in the NL's heel this year.
On a side note, he also seems to be making a positive adjustment to being traded to the Reds. In the couple of interviews I've heard, he seems to really like his team mates and Jerry Narron pretty well.
It looks like Wayne Krivsky did his homework well. If Bronson pitches even close to Tuesday's level for the rest of the season, the Pena/Arroyo trade will prove a major coup for Cincy.
Not only is this guy a good arm, he's fun to watch and is quickly becoming a fan fave. Nice job, Wayne!
Which makes his first two performances so stellar especially yesterday's game. While we're hitting six homers, he doesn't give up any.
Funny how first impressions can form an opinion.
I've been very impressed with his breaking stuff thusfar. When it's working, it's nasty.
But it's two starts, folks. Against the Cubs. Let's not hand him the Cy Young award just yet.
The guy has shown a nice feel for smart pitching. He gets batters looking for that curve and then zips his fastball in there on either side of the plate. His fastball has the effects of a 95 mph fastball when the batter is sitting on a curve. I love watching pitchers who out-think and set-up batters.
Some felt that the Reds should have gotten a younger, more talented pitcher for Pena, but Arroyo is really what the Reds need. He has gone through the development stage and has matured into a polished pitcher who is signed for three years. A younger pitcher would have taken a couple of years to develop then priced himself out of Cincinnati. Also, this organization has a poor track record in developing starting pitchers, and the ballpark will not make future matters much better.
Arroyo has been there with Pedro, Schilling, and Wells. Now it is his turn to be the old sage, teaching the youngsters how to use the mind with the arm.
But it's two starts, folks.
I'd say it's two seasons (pitching in baseball's Division of the Titans).
And that's justified caution. Heck, it would be surprising if Arroyo got a single honorable mention vote for Cy Young at the end of the year.
What his performance so far has done, hopefully, is comfort some skeptics (and there was a lot of justified skepticism concerning Arroyo) that perhaps he can be the 200 IP, above average guy the Reds need him to be. Arroyo likely won't be a dominator, but now that people have seen him it should open the door to the notion that the Reds have got themselves a generally reliable major league starter.
It has certainly made me feel better about the trade. Just not to the point where I'm ready to declare him a number one starting pitcher.
Two good starts versus two seasons of league-average pitching. So you understand my skepticism.
But no one on this site claimed he was "Cy Young" material. You understand my calling out your "false dilemma."
Arroyo wasn't brought here to win a Cy Young award, just to improve the staff. Arroyo may not be Cy Young material, but WMP isn't going to win MVP anytime soon either, let alone a Gold Glove. (they should make an emoticon of a baseball bouncing off a glove and over a fence... it would work great here) We'll see how it turns out, but I think it was a good trade for the Reds.
So was all the hyperbole about how bad Arroyo is also sarcasm?
I also like the fact that Arroyo doesn't mess around on the mound. He pitches quickly, does his job, and then trots to the dugout.
Mind you, the Cubs can make you look better than you perhaps are, Swinging teams that can't take a walk are not the ultimate lithmus test. But taming them is great, because you have to beat up on those types.
Swinging teams that can't take a walk are not the ultimate lithmus test. But taming them is great, because you have to beat up on those types.
Exactly, though they're probably a better test for Arroyo than a guy like, say, A.J. Burnett, because Bronson's in the strike zone on a regular basis.

Pandemic Increases Importance of Personal Vehicle and In-Dash Infotainment
April 1, 2021 • by FI Staff • Bookmark +
Survey includes insights about the importance of the personal vehicle, radio in the dashboard, content preferences, personalization of in-dash infotainment, safety, and more.
IMAGE: Engine Caravan
CALABASAS, Calif. — The pandemic has increased the importance of the personal vehicle and in-dash infotainment today, versus pre-COVID, and this is especially true for Millennials and Gen Z, according to results from a national CARAVAN® survey conducted by ENGINE Insights. The survey, conducted on behalf of DTS®, a global leader in next-generation audio, imaging and sensing technology, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Xperi Holding Corporation(NASDAQ: XPER) ("Xperi"), also reveals that radio is indispensable/highly important to seven out of ten vehicle owners, with nearly 80 percent of Millennials valuing radio in the dashboard more than their generational counterparts (Gen Z/GenX/Boomers).
We were particularly struck by some of the demographic data: for example, that Millennials value radio in the dashboard so highly, with 78 percent saying it is indispensable and that households with children are most likely to find their vehicle more important today.
"This new survey reveals key trends driven by the pandemic, including the rise in the importance of both the personal vehicle and in-dash infotainment, as well as a change in the kind of content listened to in-vehicle," said Eric Corliss, Manager, ENGINE Insights.
"We were particularly struck by some of the demographic data: for example, that Millennials value radio in the dashboard so highly, with 78 percent saying it is indispensable and that households with children are most likely to find their vehicle more important today (and to view it as a place of refuge). Also, that these demos, along with Gen Z, are the most likely to place greater importance on dashboard entertainment/information today, versus pre-COVID," said Corliss.
Personal Vehicle Grows in Importance – Place of Refuge
According to the CARAVAN survey, close to half (47 percent) of all vehicle owners feel their personal vehicle is more important than ever to them today versus pre-COVID, with only 6 percent saying their vehicle is less important as they no longer commute. Those who say their vehicle is more important now are equally likely to cite as reasons: a discomfort with public transportation or ride-sharing, and a perception of their vehicle as a place of refuge during these challenging times – and these numbers are even higher for those with children in the household.
Radio Indispensable, Pandemic Influences Content
Nine out of ten vehicle owners say it is important to have radio in their dashboard, with over half wanting it as the anchor of their media diet. Other key findings include that dashboard entertainment/information has become more important in the pandemic because of the ability to listen to music as an anxiety reliever, given all the bad news and stress in the world (especially true for Gen Z) and the ability to access local news/pandemic bulletins. More than half say the kind of content they listen to in their vehicle has changed versus pre-pandemic.
"It comes as no surprise that the majority of car owners say radio is indispensable to the vehicle dashboard. At Xperi, we are true believers in the power of free broadcast radio," said Jeff Jury GM, Connected Car, Xperi. "Given how highly Millennials value today's radio, its relevance to the vehicle dashboard is confirmed for decades to come. This study also reinforces that car owners are looking for a dashboard that offers infotainment content that is personalized, discoverable, and textually and visually-rich."
Personalization Key
Four in five vehicle owners say it is important for their in-vehicle dashboard entertainment to be personalized to their particular tastes and interests and this is increasingly relevant to young consumers, Gen Z (91 percent) and Millennials (89 percent). Top reasons for the importance of personalization include not having to fiddle with controls while driving, too much content clutter and being used to having relevant content pushed to them on other digital platforms.
Cost-free, Worry-free, Discoverable and Continuous
The survey also weighs in on the importance of free content, without the worry of upgrades and connection. Four in five vehicle owners say no-cost listening choices are important and relate to the sentiment that, with so much great broadcast radio and free, discoverable content available, it makes no sense to pay.
Being able to continue listening to a radio station digitally when the vehicle has gone out of broadcast range is also important. And, compared to their older counterparts, Millennials and Gen Z place greater importance than older demographics on having content relevant to what they listen to "discovered" for them, and having rich visual/textual information about the artist and song they are listening to.
Key highlights from the survey:
47 percent of all vehicle owners surveyed feel their personal vehicle is more important than ever to them today versus pre-COVID.
62 percent with children in the household report their vehicle is more important than ever, versus just 39 percent of those with no children. Over one-third feel their vehicle offers a place of refuge during these challenging times.
91 percent of vehicle owners surveyed believe it is important to have radio in their dashboard, with 72 percent saying it is indispensable or very important.
78 percent of Millennials say radio in the dashboard is indispensable versus 69 percent of their generational counterparts.
64 percent of Gen Z/61percent of Millennials/65 percent with children place greater importance on dashboard entertainment/information today versus pre-COVID.
80 percent of all respondents say it is important for their in-vehicle dashboard entertainment to be personalized to their particular tastes and interests.
Gen Z (91 percent) and Millennials (89 percent) rate personalization as important compared to Gen X (81 percent) and Baby Boomers (70 percent).
Features most important to in-vehicle dashboard entertainment experience are free content (30 percent), not having to worry about upgrades/connection (28 percent), and being able to continue listening to a radio station digitally when the vehicle has gone out of broadcast range (25 percent).
Gen Z (69 percent) and Millennials (68 percent) are by far the most likely of all generations to listen to different content in their vehicle than before COVID, and twice as likely as Baby Boomers (33 percent) to do so.
Four in five vehicle owners (79 percent) feel it is very important that listening choices in their vehicle are free (radio/podcasts/etc.) versus subscription based.
60 percent agree that radio is great when they run out of things to listen to in their media library; 58 percent find the clutter of content choices too difficult to sift through, so they mainly listen to their pre-programmed radio stations.
Over half of vehicle owners (52 percent) like having radio as the anchor for their media diet.

barbie Princess Charm School!. . Wallpaper and background images in the film barbie club tagged: barbie princess charm school.
I loved the dress, only that I think the bodice of her dress was a bit like the Barbie Fashion Fairytale.
I like all, except for her story.
where did you found it!
ABC, check out Lyssa's wall post. There it is.
Viva! Miss Major liked it- it has a hope to be good!
Lorinna more because you did not like the story. Well my opinion is a beautiful film that will talk about preserving the environment, in addition there will be a school princess, princess with several of the world.
So, I'll answer you, dear Brazilian friend, even I can't understand some words by you.
Opinions, opinions, opinions...Someone thinks, that pink'n'glam'n'fashionable'n'Kaarinian movie will be cool. Someone thinks, that it would be better if it will be light pink'n'funny'n'classic'n'non-fashionable'n'oldschool'n'Sheridanian movie. It's a question of tastes! Someone likes modern movies because of their fashionablity, someone likes modern movies only because they have "Barbie" in the title.
Well; it's a second Thumbelina. OMK movies with hidden reason are so sudden in Bms series. But movie about school...already was. Without princess, but with original Barbie- Barbie Diaries. And it will be second BD with princess and another name of protagonist.
I like the image, not the story. It looks like a cross between the images from Christmas Carol and Three Musketeers.
All though recently the Barbie movies are very modern, and like you I also do miss the classic movie Barbie as The Nutcracker, Rapunzel, Swan Lake, Princess and Pauper and others.
Plus you really do not like the modern style of the new movies? For example, The Fashion Fairytale Barbie is a beautiful film that shows our inner glow, and is modern.
Okay everyone has their opinion, the more I can say with certainty min for all Barbie movies are great, whether modern or not.
Oh Ma Kellysh LOL! I knew it! I knew that Abbey will never changed her mind about modern movies! But lol, Blair looks like Corinne a little...for me, or not only for me?
Dear Friend erysinho (I think I met this username somewhere already...).
Of course, I miss classical movies, because of their not-so-bright colors, their sense and their Kelly Sheridan! Newer movies, especially FF, are bright fuchsia colored, full of fashion and sparkles and has Kaarina as voice actress! Of course, I'm not a hater of FF, I like Alecia (because she's younger Kelly Sheridan), I like aunt Millie, I like Sequin, and anothers- except Barbie, Teresa and Ken X_X (no, maybe Ken is nice a little- but not aliens Barbie and Teresa!) Yes, it has some sense- that every shy girl can find her star. And Barbie shown as fashion girl- true Barbie, not that shy village girl, or nice princess, or cute fairy (why Kelly Sheridan uses scenes from F and P&P in her voice acting movies? Because these movies are classical!).
And last thing (I know, you're already tired to read my comment): when I watch Barbie movies, I have a feeling of fly (funny or not, it is). When I watch FF- I feel it only when Barbie isn't on screen. It means, soon they'll be more Hannish-Montanish, than most Hannah Montana.
hmm .. Okey I agree with erysinho and Lorinna too!
because I think mattel know , we like a classic movie than Modern movie!
And in my humble opinion- Mattel doesn't look on our wishes. They want only for profit. But I'll be as Kelly- if it will be modern movie, I'll look it in WWW and publish full version on *LorinnaS*.
but if Mattel want profit they should look on our wishes too.!
It's one thing that I really want to need it !
If they're look on our wishes, they should make as well three sequels: for N, as Abbey wishes, for P&P, as Lyssita wished, and for 12DP, as I wish always! And I know- there're more wanted sequels. But Mattel continuing to make modern movies...sadness.
Oh ma Kelly, Buckinghurst kingdom sounds much better than Gloss Angeles (it sounds for me like Buckingham). And, if there'll be prince, PLEASE, MATTEL, DON'T MAKE HIM LIKE ZANE!!!
Of course...remember Kelly's post? "I was fired because of wanted modernity and fashionability of newer movies".
I really to know why Mattel doesn't make a classic movie!
Yes! Probably, when modern movies will be not in fashion trend, they'll return Kelly and classic movies.
Lol! But if they'll do, I'll kill them myself!
But I want a old time kingdom movie! Not a modern kingdom! Rawr! Why can't Mattel listen!
Lol Lyssita! We're so talkative! lol my Kelly.
Oh Ma Kelly, very true! Mattel doesn't even want to hear its fans' opinions. Rawr!
we have 2 bla1r on these mov1es!!!
Their personalities were wrong to.
Excuse me, dear hauntedtower, but what did you mean by asking about C and Tay's voices? They're the same.
^Duh, it's coming only in end of August, how can anybody watch it?
Sorry Lyss! But you know, what I'm thinking about Lindas.
EM FASHION FAIRYTALE TERESA AND GRAÇE AND RAQUELLE SAO AS BEST OF MOVIE!!!!!
OU SEJA I NO LATO COMO YOU NE? SUA BABACA!
She says, that me are talking the language of animals. Dear GabiRabiAbuDabi, that's a language of Beatles, so shut up.
Oh, and you're idiot here, not me. Nobody cares for your comments with CapsLock and for your idiotic opinion. Please die.
^^Yes! I agree with you Miss McCartney.
Do you agree with goo-goo-g-job, Miss Lennon with the amazing redhead Johnny on userpic?
I agree with everything you've said about this blue meanie of a newbie.
I'll agree with everything you saying because of Johnny. If the Beatles are Gods, then, Johnny is main one.
I love blair and her friends.she and her friends are so beutiful.

Guest post from my fellow Have Chick Lit, Will Travel author Jennifer Gilby Roberts on the Inspiration Behind After Wimbledon (included in the Box Set).
Today's guest blogger is Jennifer Gilby Roberts whose novel After Wimbledon features in the Have Chick Lit, Will Travel. Read about what inspired her and then read the book.
I was taking some time out after finishing my degree. Having fried my brain by studying physics, a light-hearted romance was all I was good for. I arrived in Melbourne halfway through the Australian Open and spent most of the next week hanging out in Fed Square watching the action on their big screen. That was fabulous because it was right in the middle of the city and anyone could just wander down. I even sat in the Rod Laver Arena (the equivalent of Centre Court) for one day. Since I was travelling alone, I managed to grab an odd seat right in the front row. I heard Roger Federer swear, that's how close I was.
At the same time, I was struggling with a decision. I'd been dating someone for a couple of years before I went away and had left him back home. In a twist on the classic tale, he was sure we were for keeps and I was uncertain. I was only 23 when we started dating and wasn't expecting to get serious. Marriage was something for my thirties, if it happened at all. One morning, in a shower stall at the hostel, I broke it off over the phone. It was Australia Day, but the fireworks seemed rather out-of-place.
A few weeks later, I decided it was time to write another novel. My first, The Dr Pepper Prophecies, had been completed five years earlier. Suddenly, I had something to write about again: tennis and major life confusion. And out of those things After Wimbledon was born. The first draft contained much angst. I reckon I cut out about 30,000 words to get to the final version. I'm just counting that bit as therapy. It's a much better read without it!
After Wimbledon is available on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, other Amazon sites, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, iBooks and most other ebook stores.
Find Jennifer Gilby Roberts on her blog, Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, LibraryThing and Wattpad.
I loved After Wimbledon - and I am NOT tennis fan. But the story just gallops along, pulling you into tLucy's world. And Sam...sigh. And the tennis matches -even though I know nothing about tennis or its scoring- the competitions are so well written that I was on the edge of my seat, my heart pumping with the momentum of each match. Or is it game? Or set? See? I have no idea, but I still LOVED this book:) So pleased to be boxed in with this book and Monique's Mr. Right and Other Mongrels!

Q: StartDate and EndDate Can you please help me with this piece of code
Perl BAT command
perl MCLoader_DSS.pl -sSERVERNAME -u** -p** -c321 -i511359 -H1 -C1 -a2015-07-28 > a.txt
pause

Code in the file
    $mStartDate = $endDate;
    $mStartDate =~ s/\-//g;
    $mStartDate =~ s/\'//g;

    $mEndDate = $endDate;
    $mEndDate =~ s/\'//g;

    ($yy, $mm, $dd) = Add_Delta_Days(split('-', $mEndDate), 1);
    $mEndDate = sprintf ('%4d-%02d-%02d', $yy, $mm, $dd);
    $mEndDate = "'".$mEndDate ."'";

The output I get in the text file is
@StartDate = '2015-07-29', @EndDate = '2015-07-30'

which actually doesnt match with the date I passed
I wish to achieve @Startdate = [The date I pass] i.e. : a2015-07-28 and the @EndDate = [Should add +1 to its date]
And how can I explicitly pass both the dates?

A: Looks like you're making this all far harder than it needs to be. Time::Piece has been included with Perl since 2007.
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.010;

use Time::Piece;
use Time::Seconds;

my $format = '%Y-%m-%d';

my $start_date = Time::Piece->strptime('2015-07-28', $format);
my $end_date   = $start_date + ONE_DAY;

say $start_date->strftime($format);
say $end_date->strftime($format);
