St. Petersburg mayor picks Clearwater's Holloway as his next police chief
Anthony Holloway, 52, has been the police chief in Clearwater for the last four years. His name first surfaced Saturday as a candidate for St. Petersburg's police chief opening after it became clear Mayor Rick Kriseman was quickly eliminating the known candidates. Kriseman said the process "led me to realize what we needed most: someone familiar with us, but not of us." [JIM DAMASKE | Times (2013)]
Published Jul. 22, 2014
ST. PETERSBURG — A day after Mayor Rick Kriseman interviewed his top four candidates for police chief last month and introduced them to the community in a public meet-and-greet, he got on a plane to Dallas.
He was unsettled, unconvinced that any was the right fit.
At a conference that weekend, Kriseman sought advice from other mayors around the country. They all had the same message: Don't settle. Don't be afraid to scrap the list.
Over the next several days, Kriseman put out feelers for chiefs he might want to recruit. One, it turned out, was close to home: Clearwater Police Chief Anthony "Tony" Holloway.
Kriseman cold called him, and liked him immediately. Two weeks later, they met at a diner outside both their cities.
Kriseman said he asked Holloway the same questions he'd asked the others. This time, he liked everything he heard.
"I came away very impressed and convinced this was the guy," Kriseman told the Tampa Bay Times on Monday, a few hours after officially announcing Holloway as the new chief. "The more I thought about it, the more convinced I was."
Praise poured in on Monday for Holloway, 52, a widely respected figure in Pinellas law enforcement circles and a beloved chief in Clearwater.
"My pledge to this community is to establish a good working relationship with citizens and community leaders from south St. Pete to Tyrone to Gandy, and everywhere in between," Holloway said Monday in a statement. "I'm going to park my car, walk the neighborhoods, and talk to you. My pledge to the policing professionals of this great department is that I will meet and talk to every single one of you, as well. I am looking forward to working with the outstanding men and women of the St. Petersburg Police Department."
Kriseman, who plans an 11 a.m. news conference Tuesday at police headquarters, said Holloway is what the department needs, "someone familiar with us, but not of us."
But the mayor's decision to eliminate the list of four finalists — including popular internal candidate assistant chief Melanie Bevan — and abandon his own search process, sent shock waves through the community.
City Council Chairman Bill Dudley said people are "baffled" by the turn of events.
"We went through this whole scenario of interviewing people from all over the country, and where was this? It's like writing a mystery novel and you think you got the ending all figured out and you're hit with a curve," he said. "It's just kind of a weird way to get here. I told the mayor that's something he's going to have to explain to people."
Council member Amy Foster said she's heard from people who feel disenfranchised.
"The constituents I've spoken to all acknowledge how important this decision is to get right but many have expressed dismay with the lengthy process and cost to taxpayers ... to go a different way all together in the end," she said. "Some folks are concerned about future projects where public input has been promised, like the Pier process."

St. Petersburg has been without a permanent police chief since January, when Chuck Harmon retired after 12 years.
From the beginning, Kriseman said he wanted the search to be inclusive. He encouraged the public to tell him what they wanted in a new chief and give their opinions of the four finalists. He got so many emails they nearly filled a 2-inch thick binder.
The city spent $14,750 on a search firm and another $3,240 for travel and hotel stays for the finalists.
On Monday, Kriseman said the process worked and that ultimately, the final decision was his.
"I knew if I didn't hire Melanie I was going to catch flak. If I hired Melanie I was going to catch flak. If I went outside I was going to catch flak," he said. "In this job you're never going to make people happy. If you're concerned about that, you're never going to make a decision."
Many people were stunned, and stung, when Bevan, a 28-year veteran, was cut. Bevan had emerged as a favorite among many union officials, agency employees, neighborhood leaders and residents.
Holloway's name first surfaced over the weekend after it became clear Kriseman was eliminating the known candidates.
Detective Mark Marland, head of the police union, told the Times on Sunday that some officers felt like Kriseman had made a mockery of his own claims about inclusiveness and transparency.
Nonetheless, Marland congratulated Holloway on Monday.
"I have been hearing good things about him and hope that continues into St. Pete," Marland said. "The troops are keeping an open mind and hoping for the best. The most important issue at hand is building morale back up and moving the department back to the forefront of policing where it was 25 years ago."
Officials in Clearwater now must deal with the sudden loss of a popular chief as well as find a replacement.
Clearwater Mayor George Cretekos said he was dismayed that Kriseman didn't give him a courtesy call about his hire.
"Kriseman and I go back a lot of years, and ... I'm disappointed he would not have reached out," he said Sunday. The two men later talked Monday.
Holloway has deep ties to Pinellas County, having risen through the ranks in the Clearwater department, which is about half the size of St. Petersburg's. He became the city's first black captain before leaving in 2007 to lead the Somerville Police Department in Massachusetts. In 2010, he returned to the Clearwater department as chief. Since then, he has updated the agency's crime-tracking technology and required his officers to have more face-to-face contact with residents under a program called "Park, Walk and Talk." (Read more about Holloway's rise here. )
Holloway, who is married to Clearwater attorney Andra Dreyfus, makes $125,595 in Clearwater. He will make $155,000 in his new St. Petersburg job.
Dudley said while he still doesn't understand the path the mayor took to his decision, he hopes it won't negatively impact Holloway's ability to lead.
"If he succeeds as chief, it'll be just fine," said council member Karl Nurse. "If he doesn't, there will be a big price. ... It's hard to blame people for wanting to advance their career."

The Pentland Road wind farm is poised to generate its 100 millionth unit of electricity within the next few days.
The windfarm went into commercial operations on 1st November 2013.
Peter Crone, Director of Pentland Road Windfarm Ltd., said: "This is a major milestone achievement.
"It means that we have very nearly reached our target of 50 million units per year or 50 gigawatt hours.
"We are very pleased with this performance over the first two years despite the usual teething problems with new wind turbines and very significant periods in 2014 where we were unable to generate due to grid transmission works.
"In my very first press statement in Stornoway in 1999 I said that I believed that the Western Isles was the 'Wind Energy Capital of Europe'.
"Our experience over the first two years of operation indicate that the Isle of Lewis certainly deserves that reputation.
Calum Maclean, Chairman of the Stornoway Trust, said: "This is very good news for the more than 600 crofters who receive a rental income from the wind farm, part of which is based on the performance of the turbines.
Pentland Road was officially opened on the 9 October 2015 by Western Isles MSP Dr Alasdair Allan.
The inauguration was held jointly with the launch of the E-Car Hebrides car club.
Nine Renault Zoe cars and one Renault Kangoo van were introduced to the island.
These vehicles, which will be powered almost exclusively from the islands wind turbines, will soon be available to businesses and the local community to rent for periods as little as one hour.

Palaeopathology is the study of ancient diseases, trauma, disability etc. by examining human remains. Like forensic anthropologists, palaeopathologists also work with a degree of uncertainty. When most of our data comes from the examination of human bones, there are specific limitations we must contend with.
Bone can only react in one of two ways when something is wrong; the bone tissue can either grow or it can resorb. Both bone growth and resorption are normal and happen throughout your life–this process is caused by cells called osteoblasts and osteoclasts–but disease, trauma, and malnutrition can create abnormal formations of bone called lesions. The lesions formed by excess bone growth are called proliferative, and lesions formed from resorption are called lytic.
Each disease will affect bone in slightly different ways, that is if they affect the bone at all. But because of these limited types of bone reaction, certain diseases can look very similar. For example, scurvy and cribra orbitalia are both characterised by lesions in the orbitals (eye sockets) which can be hard to distinguish without training and practice.
Scurvy is a metabolic disease caused by a lack of vitamin C. As our bodies need vitamin C to form collagen, and our blood vessels require collagen for structural stability, the capillaries in the eye sockets of those with scurvy begin to bleed. The presence of blood in the orbit stimulates new bone growth and creates proliferative lesions.
Cribra orbitalia, which is often attributed to iron difficiency anaemia (rightly or wrongly is still up for debate), is charaterised by lytic lesions in the same area.
Below are pictures of both conditions, can you tell which one is which?
These are excellent examples of each type of lesion, so this is pretty much as easy as it gets. Most presentations of these lesions will be less pronounced, more fragmented, or both. Which makes our job a bit harder.
You can check your answers and access the original images here and here.
Do these skulls all feature the same pathology? Or are there two pathologies? Or even three?
What differences in these lesions, if any, can you observe?
Hint: there are two diseases and one trauma featured above. Can you tell which ones are which?
The first skull is an example of caries sicca, a major sign of venereal syphilis.
The second skull has a penetrating gunshot wound to the forehead.
And the third skull is an example of lesions associated with calvarial tuberculosis.
We can differentiate all of these conditions by looking at the remodeling (healing) process, or the origin of the lesion–for example, did it start inside the skull and move outwards or start on the surface and move inwards?
Another practical issue palaeopathologists face is something called the osteological paradox. And while this term seems big and scary it's actually pretty simple. In order for a disease to show up in the bone, it has to be around long enough in a living body. We call this kind of disease chronic. If a disease is too deadly and kills a person quickly, it won't have time to affect the bone. We call this kind of disease acute. Therefore, when we see an individual from an archaeological site with a pathology, we know that actually this individual was probably one of the healthier ones. So ironically, when palaeopathologists study pathology, we're usually studying the healthier individuals of a community. This can be problematic when trying to ascertain general health trends and quality of life.
If you're interested in the diagnostic criteria for any specific diseases or want more info about bone biology, keep your eye out for upcoming posts or comment below!

Dr. Jim Dale - DVM 1967
2019 Distinguished Alumnus Award
Dr. James (Jim) E. Dale, Golden, Colorado, has been selected as a recipient of a 2019 Distinguished Alumnus Award from the Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Medical Alumni Association. This award recognizes Dr. Dale for his outstanding achievements, humanitarian service and contributions to the veterinary profession. This award is presented during the Alumni Awards Brunch at the Alumni Reunion Weekend held June 1.
Dr. Dale received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from K-State in 1967. He was raised on a small farm/ranch near St. John, the home of recent K-State basketball player Dean Wade. Dr. Dale's brother and sister are also K-State grads. Dr. Dale is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Preventive Medicine.
After graduation Dr. Dale practiced in Lawrence until called to the Air Force. He likes to say he joined for two years and stayed 30. Dr. Dale had assignments all around the globe. His last assignment was as chief of prevention operations in the Office of the Air Force Surgeon General, Headquarter Air Force.
In addition to his DVM, Dr. Dale has a Master of Public Health degree, an executive MBA and a graduate certificate in veterinary homeland security. Further, he is a graduate of Squadron Officers School, Air Command and Staff College, Air War College, and National Defense Security Management College. He retired as a full colonel, and his military decorations include five awards of the Meritorious Service Medal and the Legion of Merit.
"I love K-State," Dr. Dale said. "I am so honored to be recognized by the VMAA as the 2019 Distinguished Alumnus. I'm thankful for the unbelievable opportunities that veterinary medicine, the Air Force and my folks gave me. I'm eternally grateful that my folks, the late Lewis and Louise Dale of St. John and Great Bend, Kansas, who sent me to K-State, and that I'm a member of the special class of 1967."
"Dr. Dale's outstanding record of military and public service provides an inspiring example for future veterinarians," said Dr. Bonnie Rush, interim dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine. "Although retired, he keeps active by serving his state and local community through municipal boards and commissions. We recognized Dr. Dale in 2013 at the Western Veterinary Conference in Las Vegas, and we are proud to have an opportunity to recognize him at his alma mater in Manhattan."
Following retirement, Dr. Dale served for 12 and a half years as the director of environmental health for Jefferson County Public Health in Golden, Colorado. He was active in national and state public health organizations serving as the president of both the Colorado Public Health Association and Colorado Directors of Environmental Health. He served on the Executive Board of the American Public Health Association and as chair of the Council of State Public Health Associations. He is a member of the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association and American Veterinary Medical Association.
Active in Golden, Dr. Dale is currently on the Golden City Council. He has served on the city Planning Commission, Budget Advisory Committee, Sustainability Advisory Board and Visitor Center Board. He sings in his church choir.
Dr. Dale maintains his Kansas roots as he, his brother and his sister, still own their small ranch/farm which is leased by a K-State family. His veterinary school classmates told him Air Force guys "weren't busy," so he has organized the five-year class reunions for the class of 1967 for a "long, long time."
Dr. Dale is married to LouAnne Taylor Dale, a Washburn University graduate, whom he met in Turkey, where he was stationed while she was teaching Air Force kids. They have two children and four grandchildren. The Dales enjoy travel, skiing and snorkeling. Dr. Dale is an avid golfer and sports fan.

A Guide to the Latest Earring Styles and Trends at Shane Co.
A stud - also known as a solitaire - is an earring that features only one gem. The head containing the gem is soldered directly to the post, which goes straight through the ear, giving the appearance that the gemstone is 'floating' on the ear.
A hoop earring is a continuous piece of metal that goes through the ear and is then held in place, typically by a latch back or friction back. They are not always round and can come in a variety of different shapes - the most common untraditional shape being oval.
Also referred to as dangle earrings, this style hangs below the earlobe and can either move or be still. Drop earrings offer the widest variety of fashion styles. They can end just centimeters below the earlobe or can reach all the way down to the shoulder.
This is the most common type of earring back offered in the jewelry industry, requiring no screwing to put on or take off the earring. Also called a butterfly back, it can be used with any style of earring, whether it is a stud, hoop or drop.
Push on/screw off earrings are a little quicker to put on than screw on/screw off styles. The wearer can push on the earring back, and then unscrew it to take off the earring. Push on/screw off posts are typically used with studs and drop earrings.
Lever Backs also have a curved wire hook but are latched behind the ear with a lever that opens and closes. These are only used with drop earrings.
Only used with drop earrings, this style has no back to it. It is a curved wire hook that the earring itself can be attached to.
Used mainly for hoops, there are two styles of latch backs: one has the post on a hinge and clips into a notch on the back of the earring. The second has an immobile post and a lever-style back that has a hole for the post to slide in to.
Screw on/screw off fasteners require the wearer to screw the back of the earring onto and off of a post threaded through the ear. This is an older style fastener, which has been replaced by the push on/screw off style, but is available upon request for added security or to repair an older earring with this post type.

We're seeing a definite increase in momentum behind wagon-wheeler interest this year. The EMD (Eat My Dust) is the entry-level 7005 series aluminium frame in Niner's 29in-wheel-specific family.
A hydroformed, hooked down tube increases strength while keeping fork top cap control clearance. Cowled dropouts add strength at the end of bent stays that will happily house a 2.35in tyre. Little plate bridges stop them splaying too far, and you still get a pimpy steel headbadge on this intro bike.
It's Niner's benchmark big wheel handling that's the real selling point here though. Bespoke angles maximise the faster, smoother rolling advantage of the 29er format without any of the wander, wobble or jack-kniing of less polished designs.
There's a lot of Niner accessory kit available too, including flat bars and jaw-droppingly beautiful carbon rigid forks. However, even this entry-level version is on the expensive side for an aluminium hardtail.


In many ways, a yoga instructor can have a healthy impact on his or her student's lives. As a yoga instructor, you can provide students with information, solutions, and remedies for many of the problems we all face in life. Each of us has had a feeling of sickness in the stomach at one time or another. Some people experience feelings of sickness in the stomach more than others. For some it can be a flare up, while others have chronic feelings of sickness.
Nausea can be an unwelcome side effect of a number of ailments, from overeating to pregnancy. When nausea strikes, it is hard to focus on anything else or make it through the day. Medications or certain foods can sometimes relieve feelings of sickness. There are also a few yoga postures and breathing exercises that will help prevent nausea or alleviate the symptoms.
When you fill up the entire abdomen with oxygen, the abdominal muscles can release and allow the diaphragm muscles to relax. This will help to alleviate feelings of sickness in the stomach. To perform deep breathing, inhale slowly through the nose as the belly begins to protrude with air. Pull the air in until it reaches all the way up to your chest cavity and you can't inhale anymore. Hold the breath inside for a few seconds, and then slowly exhale through your mouth. Push the air out by slowly pulling the belly button inward. You can repeat this breath several times, up to about 15 minutes. Repeat a few times a day if the nausea returns.
Sit in easy pose (Sukasana)with your legs crossed. Bend forward from the hips, reaching out the arms to rest on a pillow or chair. Breath deeply and evenly for about two minutes. Repeat as necessary.
To relieve nausea, lie on the floor next to a wall. Lift up both legs so they rest against the wall, placing your bottom as close to the wall as possible. Your body will form a 90-degree angle. Support the hips by placing a bolster or pillow under them. Breathe and relax for eight minutes or more.
This posture is a supine asana and the procedure for getting into it requires reclining, which may not agree with nausea. However, it is included because of the results some practitioners receive by practicing Supta Virasana.
Release the pressure off the stomach and liver with this pose. Sit on your knees with your bottom resting on your feet. Recline your upper body back by leaning back from the waist. Rest the head and shoulders on the mat. Use bolters or a pillow to make the pose more comfortable. Hold for one minute.
Sit in a comfortable position, and then draw the soles of the feet together. Try to rest the heels as close to the pelvis as possible. Pull the feet in toward the body with the hands, holding them where it is comfortable. Hold for several minutes. You may also recline while performing bound angle pose onto a pillow or bolster.
Avoid any yoga poses that involve bending backwards when you experience nausea as this can worsen the condition.
Although, I mentioned only one pranayama technique. Most techniques will work unless they are dynamic and forceful. Therefore, gently practice your favorite technique and you will notice some improvements. The following suggestions are my personal favorites: Dirgha, Brahmari, Udgeeth, Nadi Shodhana, and Udgeeth. However, please feel free to try your personal favorites and advise your yoga students to practice them gently.
Very confused, u say don't bend back as that makes nausea worse, and say to lean right back in the hero pose. Doesn't make sense.

In last 10 years, energy experts have been working keenly on the establishment of a new private and competitive electricity market in Turkey. Following the amendments of Electricity Market Regulation law no.6446, 7 years ago, licenced energy companies commenced to merchandise on the market with high profit and loss rates. For a period of 5 years, this risky but charmingly high-profitable market appeal investors to participate and make investments on electricity trading companies. Participants have been signing bilateral agreements with each other and also with out-of-state companies in order to make cross-border trading. However, the regulatory authority of Energy, EMRA has announced the establishment of a new private Company named ''EPİAŞ'', which is authorized to manage and control electricity merchandise throughout the Country.
Rest of the %40 of the shares are named as Type C shares and are bought freely by private energy companies. Companies willing to share in are obliged to obtain a supplying license or a generation license in electricity market; or obtain a wholesale-retail sale license or import-export license. Unlicensed generation facilities are not allowed to be a shareholder of EPİAŞ.
At the first stage, EPİAŞ aims to commencing activities in Electricity Market under supervision of SPK (Stock Exchange Commission) and EPDK (Energy Market Regulatory Authority). As said above, EPİAŞ is established as a private corporation, since %40 of the shareholders are private companies. Avoiding State's monopoly is a big step in favour of building a dynamic economy. Private shareholders will have a force in general assemblies of the company.


Its Apple shares have been given a big boost by the launch of iPhone X on Friday. As the latest version of Apple's iPhone hit the world's shelves, Apple shares have reached record levels. iPhone X, so named after the iPhone's tenth anniversary, was launched as the company posted record sales. Apple saw a 12% increase in sales for the three months July to September, reaching the dizzy heights of $52.6 billion for the quarter.
The iPhone X is apples most expensive cell phone yet, retailing at £999, or $1,306. It is believed by many that Apple will soon be the first $1 trillion company. Its current value standing at $900 billion (£688 billion). When sales of the new iPhone are added to those of the iPhone 8, the final quarter of the year, October to December, will likely break all records for the company. Apple shares will be given an even bigger boost.
Several factors have coincided to provide Apple with what should be its best-ever quarter. Sales in China have taken an upward surge, The Apple App Store has seen record sales, and, of course, the iPhone X is due to break sales records. The company has sold almost 50 million phones July to September 3% more than the same period last year. Apple shares appear about to be given another big boost.
Apple shares were given a boost by iPhone sales ($28.8 billion)which accounted for over 50% of the firm's revenue in that 3-month period. Two digit increase was seen in many of Apple's other products: Apple Watch, Apple Mac, and iPad sales were also high. Apple's services department (including Apple Pay, Apple Store, and music subscriptions) was up 34%, with $8.5 billion profit in the same quarter. The company expects to make $84 billion – $87 billion revenue in the next quarter.
Apple's augmented reality (AT) technology, incorporated into the new iPhone X, is an advance on Google's Tango AR system. Its possibilities are amazing. You can get a 3D impression of how a new kitchen will look in your home before buying it. You can get an idea how new furniture will look before you part with your cash and purchase it. All in all, Apple is set for record profits and looks a good bet for more to come. Now may not be the best time to sell your Apple shares.
I read this article and found it very interesting, thought it might be something for you. The article is called Apple Shares Break Records: iPhone X Gives Apple Shares a Big Boost and is located at https://marketresearch.biz/news/apple-shares/.

\section*{Abstract}
The temperature dependence of the thermal rate constant for the reaction Cl($^3$P) + \ce{CH4} $\rightarrow$ HCl + \ce{CH3} is calculated using a Gaussian Process machine learning (ML) approach to train on and predict thermal rate constants over a large temperature range. Following procedures developed in two previous reports, we use a training dataset of approximately 40 reaction/potential surface combinations, each of which is used to calculate the corresponding data base of rate constant at approximately eight temperatures.  For the current application, we train on the entire dataset and then predict the temperature dependence of the title reaction employing a ``split'' dataset for correction at low and high temperatures to capture both tunneling and recrossing.  The results are an improvement on recent RPMD calculations compared to accurate quantum ones, using the same high-level ab initio potential energy surface. Both tunneling at low temperatures and recrossing at high temperatures are observed to influence the rate constants. Recrossing effects, which are not described by TST and even sophisticated tunneling corrections, do appear in experiment at temperatures above around 600 K. The ML results describe these effects and in fact merge at 600 K with RPMD results (which can describe recrossing), and both are close to experiment at the highest experimental temperatures.

\section{Introduction}

Svante Arrhenius nearly turned away from chemistry twice during his early studies because of poor performance, but he went on to earn a Nobel Prize in the field for his work on electrolytic solutions.  Of more relevance to the current topic is his paper in 1889 on the temperature dependence of reaction rates,\cite{Arrhenius1889} where he found that $k(T)=Ae^{-E_{a}/kT}$ where $A$ is a constant, $T$ is the Kelvin temperature, and $E_a$ is an activation energy. A major subsequent advance came from the development in 1935 by Henry Eyring, and by Merideth Evans and Michael Polyani of transition state theory (TST),\cite{Eyring1935,EvansPolanyi1935,LaidlerKing1983} which associated the activation energy with the location of a dividing surface that separated the reactants from the products in the space of energy vs. configuration. For reactions that have a saddle point between reactants and products, the dividing surface typically includes the saddle point.  The constant $A$ is associated in TST with a ratio of partition functions.

The near-linear relationship between the log of the rate constant with $(1/T)$ predicted by both the Arrhenius equation and TST is actually not observed for many reactions, particularly at low temperatures.  This is because quantum mechanical tunneling is found to be important at low temperatures and results in an increase in the rate constant from the linear prediction. Early proposals for including tunneling effects in the theory of chemical reactions were based on one-dimensional potentials. Of particular relevance to what follows in this paper is Eckart's early work,\cite{eck1930} which continues to be used,\cite{jh1961,jh1962,Barker:2012aa} because it gives an analytical and often accurate result.

However, to get agreement with exact quantum methods or with experiment, we need more sophisticated quantum mechanical (QM) approaches, even though they are more computationally demanding.  These methods have mostly been applied to collinear reactions, as summarized in a useful compilation by Allison and Truhlar.\cite{at1998}  Three-dimensional calculations, notably for the H + \ce{H2} reaction,\cite{skh31976} have also been studied, and these demonstrate shortcomings of the one-dimensional Eckart model that include, for example, recrossing of the TST dividing surface, corner cutting tunneling paths, and vibrationally adiabatic effects.  To incorporate these effects, a variety of QM approaches have been employed, including instanton methods,\cite{miller75,insthch4rg} VPT2-based semiclassical transition state theory,\cite{MILLER199062,HERNANDEZ1993129,Nguyen:2011aa,Barker:2012aa,Wagner:2013aa,clary18} reduced-dimensionality quantum methods,\cite{bowman1985,bowmanwag,jmb1991,Althorpe2003,claryhalk} a large-curvature, corner-cutting reaction path,\cite{mc1977,at1998}  ring polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD),\cite{rpmd05,rpmdh3} and ring polymer instanton methods.\cite{rich18}  Exact direct methods have also been developed to obtain the rate constant\cite{millerexact83}, for example using multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree (MCTDH) theory, at least for zero total angular momentum,\cite{manthhch4,manth12} and then augmented by $J$-shifting\cite{jmb1991}.

Until recently, none of these methods had been applied to the important Cl($^3P_{3/2}$) + \ce{CH4} $\rightarrow$ HCl + \ce{CH3} reaction, a reaction important in assessing the effect of chlorofluorocarbons in stratospheric chemistry. Many experimental measurements are available, mostly in very good agreement with one another.  Collectively these measurements span a large temperature range from roughly 180 to more than 1000 K. We will refer to these by the names of the first authors of the reports: Clyne,\cite{Clyne1973} Manning,\cite{Manning1977} Michael,\cite{Michael1977} Whytock,\cite{Whytock1977} Keyser,\cite{Keyser1978} Zahniser,\cite{Zahniser1978} Ravishankara,\cite{Ravishankara1980} Heneghan,\cite{Heneghan1981} Seeley,\cite{Seeley1996} Pilgrim,\cite{Pilgrim1997} and Bryukov.\cite{Bryukov2002}.  High-level, CCSD(T)-based potential energy surfaces for this reaction have been reported by Czakó and Bowman (CB),\cite{CzakoBowman2011} and, quite recently, by Li and Liu (LL).\cite{LL2020}  Substantial theoretical investigations have also  been reported. Barker, Nguyen, and Stanton\cite{BarkerNguyenStanton2012} have reported kinetic isotope effects in the reaction using \textit{ab initio} semiclassical transition state theory, while Georgievskii and Klippenstein (GK)\cite{GK2021} have recently studied how tunneling is affected by the non-separability of the reaction coordinate from other modes. The approach of the latter report provides a method that substantially improves on the one-dimensional estimation of tunneling; the comparison with experiment in that paper was limited to temperatures below 300 K, where agreement is very good. We return to this recent work in the Discussion section below.  Li and Liu\cite{LL2020} used their potential to perform RPMD calculations for  estimation of the temperature dependent rate constant, though over a limited range and with only modest agreement with experiment.  Subsequently, a ``first principles'' theory for the reaction was recently reported by Hoppe and Manthe (HM),\cite{HM2022} who used the LL potential in a fully QM method to calculate the rate constant as a function of temperature up to 540 K. Going to higher temperatures was evidently not computationally feasible. Their results are essentially in exact agreement with the experimental data up to that temperature.  Thus, from the perspective of theory, this reaction has acquired an especially important role for both the potential energy surface and the reaction dynamics/rate constant theory.

One aspect of this reaction that was not directly addressed by these theoretical approaches is the extent of recrossing at high temperature.  Recall that recrossing refers to the reduction of the reaction flux predictions of TST, which, by assumption, ignores recrossing. Recrossing is due to multidimensional dynamical effects where flux that crosses the transition state dividing surface recrosses but back in the direction of reactants. We return to this effect here where we apply our Machine Learning (ML) approach to obtain bimolecular thermal rate constants over a large temperature range.\cite{houston19,NandiOHCl2020} The motivation for this approach was given in detail in those papers and so is just briefly reviewed below. Other ML methods have subsequently been reported for reaction rates by Valleau and co-workers\cite{valleau2020,Valleau2021}, activation energies in an article by Lewis-Atwell, Townsend and Grayson,\cite{Grayson2021} and for activation energies and reaction mechanisms in publications by Green and colleagues.\cite{Green2019,Green2020}

In our first paper\cite{houston19} we proposed using ML to find a correction to the Eckart tunneling correction to TST.  The great appeal of the Eckart correction is two-fold. First, it is often quite accurate and second it requires no more information than is needed for a standard TST calculation.  Of course this is not an exact correction and more accurate methods (though short of ``exact'') are available, as mentioned above.  However, these methods require substantially more information about the potential energy surface (PES), ranging from an expansion of the PES around the saddle-point beyond the harmonic expansion needed in TST to a global PES needed in RPMD and the MCTDH quantum calculations.  Our goal was to explore whether ML can be applied to correct the Eckart correction and achieve a substantial improvement in accuracy at virtually no additional cost and with no additional information needed about the PES.  The ML approach we took followed the standard protocol of training the desired quantity on a known database. For us the quantity is the correction to the Eckart tunneling correction and the database is a large set of (ideally) exact quantum rate constant calculations for a variety of chemical reactions. We discuss below the database we used. For the ML model we used Gaussian process (GP) regression, which we briefly review in the next section. We used the database of rate constants for 13 reaction/potential surface combinations at typically 8 different temperatures. We created this database by data mining the large compilation of tables of rate constants reported by Allison and Truhlar in 1998. The tables contained TST and exact quantum results for numerous collinear reactions, of which we selected a total of 52.  Also, all parameters needed for an Eckart tunneling correction were given.  From the TST, Eckart correction and exact results the correction to Eckart were calculated. Then GP was trained on the 52 reactions and testing was then done on a set of 39 reaction/potential surface combinations. The GP method, when averaged over all test reactions, was within 80\% of the accurate answer, considerably better than TST (330\%) and Eckart corrected TST (ECK) (110\%). The test reactions included 5 one-dimensional symmetric A + BA reaction/surface combinations; 16 one-dimensional asymmetric A + BC reaction/surface combinations; 15 three-dimensional reaction/surface combinations, both symmetric and asymmetric; and three polyatomic reactions: O($^3P$) + \ce{CH4}, H + \ce{CH4}, and HH + OH.  A challenge for future predictions is that the dataset is relatively small. A strategy, then, is to examine other reactions that are studied by accurate methods, to determine to what extent GP is effective in predicting the new rate constant, and then to add the new reaction to the dataset.  In our second paper\cite{NandiOHCl2020} we focused on the O($^3P$) + HCl reaction on the $^3$A$^{\prime}$ and $^3$A$^{\prime\prime}$ potential energy surfaces. In that paper we took a different approach.  We trained on the entire original dataset and the predicted the rate constant of this reaction. As described in detail in that paper we split the entire data set into two datasets, as briefly reviewed in the next section in given in more detail in Supplementary material (SM). Here we simply note that at low temperatures the corrections to the Eckart tunneling correction are larger than one.  This is expected, as the Eckart correction generally underestimates tunneling, especially in the deep tunneling region.  At high temperatures where there is virtually no Eckart correction, i.e., the correction is about unity,  the correction to Eckart is less than one.  This accounts for recrossing and where in general TST overestimates the rate constant.

In the next section we briefly summarize the computational approach we use.  We then present new predictions of the rate constant for the Cl($^2$P) + \ce{CH4} reaction.  This reaction is a challenge for our ML approach both because its parameters are at the edge of those of the training set and because it brings up possible issues, such as spin-orbit coupling and Van der Waals wells in both the entrance and exit channels. Detailed comparisons are made with the GP results of this work and the results from GK\cite{GK2021} as well as with the QM results from HM\cite{HM2022} and the RPMD results from LL.\cite{LL2020} We then incorporate ``learning'' this reaction into the correction datasets and verify that when used with ML we do get good agreement with the experiment, as expected.

\section{Computational Approach}
 The  specific approach we proposed\cite{houston19} is summarized next. Let $k(T)$ be an exact rate constant calculated over a temperature range and using a given PES, and let $k^{TST}(T)$ be the conventional TST rate constant using the same PES.  The approach we took earlier is to represent the exact rate constant by the equation
\begin{equation}
k(T)=[\kappa_{ECK}(T)k^{TST}(T)]\chi(T),
\end{equation}

\noindent where $\kappa_{ECK}(T)$ is the Eckart transmission coefficient.\cite{jh1961,jh1962,Brown1981} and $\chi(T)$ is the correction to the Eckart correction to produce agreement with the accurate rate constant. We reasoned that this approach is better than using ML on the exact $k^{TST}(T)$ directly because $\kappa_{ECK}(T)$ is both easy to obtain and generally gives realistic tunneling corrections.  Thus, the hope is that the GP correction to the Eckart transmission coefficient is small and easy to ``learn''.
To proceed with machine learning of $\chi(T)$ we need the usual three elements, namely a \textit{database} of exact rate constants, a set of \textit{descriptors}, and a general \textit{machine learning method} to train on the database. We described these in detail previously\cite{houston19}, so we just briefly summarize these key elements here.

Critical for the success of the ML approach are the parameters that characterize a reaction.  A starting choice includes the three parameters that are needed to obtain the Eckart transmission coefficient,\cite{jh1961}  which, in reduced units, are
\begin{align}
&\alpha_1=V_1/\omega_{im},  \\
&\alpha_2=V_2/\omega_{im},  \\
&u^*(T)=\omega_{im}/(0.69307\hspace{.1cm} T).
\end{align}
$V_1$ ($V_2$) is the saddle point barrier height in cm$^{-1}$ relative to the reactants (products), omitting the zero-point energy in both cases, and where the energy of the reactants is zero. In the case of the Cl($^2$P) + \ce{CH4} reaction, the zero of energy is lowered by the spin-orbit stabilization of the Cl($^2$P$_{3/2}$) atom, about 0.84 kcal/mol.  Using transition state (TS) value of 6.97 kcal/mol from the CCSD(T)/CBS value in Table 3 of GK, this gives a value of $V_1$ = (6.97 - (-0.84)) kcal/mol = 2733 cm$^{-1}$.  We, as well as GK and HM, assume no spin-orbit splitting other than the reactants. Thus, again from the CCSD(T)/CBS value in Table 3 of GK,  $V_2$ = (6.97-5.04) kcal/mol = 675.3 cm$^{-1}$. Note that in both the entrance and exit channels we have assumed that the presence of Van der Waals wells does not affect the $V_1$ and $V_2$ parameters used for the Eckart correction. In short, we ignore these wells. We defer comments about the possible effect of these wells to the Discussion section. The value $\omega_{im}$ is the magnitude of saddle point imaginary frequency (in cm$^{-1}$), which, from Table 2 of GK is 1194 cm$^{-1}$.  The value 0.69307 is an energy conversion factor, equal to $k_B/(h c)$, and $T$ is the temperature in Kelvin.  Improvements were obtained by including an additional parameter, the skew angle, $\beta$, which identifies important mass and corner cutting and recrossing effects. In the case of the Cl($^2$P) + \ce{CH4} reaction, this value is $\beta = 17.3 \textdegree = 0.302$ radians.  More details, particularly the values of these parameters for the training dataset, can be found in our recent paper.\cite{houston19}.

As noted previously,\cite{NandiOHCl2020} it is a challenge to obtain high precision in fitting the entire $\chi$ dataset of approximately 400 $\chi$ values because they have a very large range, from 0.2 to 25. As in the O($^3$P) + HCl paper,\cite{NandiOHCl2020} we thus decided to split the data into two clusters in a manner that would permit more precise GP training on each.  The dividing line between the two clusters is at $\chi$ equal to 3.0.  The cluster with $\chi$ greater than 3.0 is denoted the Large-$\chi$ set and the other cluster is denoted Small-$\chi$ set. Figure S1. in the Supplementary Material (SM) shows these $\chi$ groups as a function of $u^*$.

Having now a set of descriptors, $\alpha_1$, $\alpha_2$, $\omega_{im}$, and $\beta$, as well as a dataset from ref. \citenum{houston19}, we now turn to the learning method.  Gaussian Process (GP) regression is a machine learning method whose goal is to produce a smooth interpolation between known data.\cite{Rasmussen2004} The working equation is given by
\begin{equation}
\chi(\bm{x}) = \textbf{K}_x^\top \textbf{K}^{-1} \boldsymbol\chi_0,
\label{eq:predict}
\end{equation}
where $\bm{x}$ represents the set of descriptors. The known values of $\chi$ are collected in the column vector denoted $\boldsymbol\chi_0$.  $K(\bm{x}_i,\bm{x}_j)$ is the kernel matrix with elements at the database values of $\bm{x}$ and where $\textbf{K}_x = [k(\bm{x}, \bm{x}_1) \  \cdots \  k(\bm{x}, \textbf{x}_N)]^\top $.  In this expression $\bm{x}$ is the value of the descriptors where $\chi$ is to be evaluated.
A popular choice for the kernel matrix is\cite{Rasmussen2004,krems17,GP-2015-1}
\begin{equation} \label{eq:noise}
K(\bm{x}_i,\bm{x}_j) = \sigma^2 \exp\left( -\frac{d_{ij}^2}{2}\right)+\delta_{ij}\sigma_{noise},
\end{equation}
where $d_{ij}$ is the distance between the two vectors $\bm{x}_i/l$ and $\bm{x}_j/l$, where the hyper-parameters are $l$ and $\sigma$. The length-scale parameter, $l$ can be single length or one that depends on the descriptor; we use the latter.  $\delta_{ij}\sigma_{noise}$ is the noise term that is added to the diagonal of the covariance matrix. In principle, this term is not necessary for fitting, because the data are not noisy.  However, adding noise can avoid ill-conditioning of the matrix, and, more generally enters parametrically into the optimization of the hyper-parameters according to maximization of log-marginal-likelihood .\cite{Cui2016, Rasmussen2004}
\begin{equation}
\log \mathcal{L} = -\frac{1}{2} \left( \textbf{g}^\top\textbf{K}^{-1}\textbf{g} + \log|\textbf{K}| + N\log2\pi \right)
\label{eq:likelyhood}
\end{equation}
 Once the optimal hyper-parameters are determined, the GP model can predict the value of $\chi$ using Eq. \ref{eq:predict}.  In a practical sense, the hyper-parameters govern the smoothness of the interpolation, also known as prediction.

We performed this GP regression on the Small and Large-$\chi$ datasets using the routines contained in the Python Scikitlearn library, which includes optimization of the hyperparameters.\cite{scikit-learn}  The inputs are the descriptors and the output is the trained $\chi$.  As a reminder, the database for exact $\chi$ values is developed largely from a 1998 compilation of rate constants\cite{at1998} as well as from results from several more recent quantum calculations of rates constants for polyatomic reactions, such as OH + \ce{H2}, H + \ce{CH4}, and O + \ce{CH4}, as described in detail previously.\cite{houston19}

 The Small-$\chi$ data-set has a total 360 data points, and for the work we described below we took all the points to fit the data-set using GP regression. The RMS error of this fitting is 0.14461. The Large-$\chi$ data-set has total 37 data points, which for ML is very small. In order to avoid over-fitting of this limited set, we used a noise value (see Eq. \ref{eq:noise})  of 50, larger than that used for the previously studied O($^3P$) + HCl reaction. Noise values of 20 and 30 gave nearly identical results, as shown in Figure S4. of the SM.

\section{The \ce{Cl($^2$P_{3/2}) + CH4} $\rightarrow$ HCl + \ce{CH3} Reaction}
The  \ce{Cl($^2$P_{3/2}) + CH4} reaction is a challenge for our ML approach, given the range and sparsity of our relatively small dataset. Recall that the dataset is largely based on collinear A+BC reactions, with only a few three-dimensional reactions.  In particular, for this reaction, using the most accurate electronic energies, $\alpha_1 = 2.61$ and $\alpha_2 = 0.645$ so that $\alpha_1 - \alpha_2 = 1.97$. Our complete dataset does have values of $\alpha_1$ greater than and less than this value of $\alpha_1$; however, the smallest value of $\alpha_2$ in our dataset is 0.70.  And in that case there are only six total entries with this value of $\alpha_2$.  Fortunately, for these entries $\alpha_1$ = 2.94 and the skew angle is 20 deg, which is close to skew angle, $\beta$, of 17.3 deg. Our data set for skew angle ranges from 17 to 89 deg.   The value of $\beta$ for the
\ce{Cl($^2$P_{3/2}) + CH4} $\rightarrow$ HCl + \ce{CH3} reaction is 17.3\textdegree, near the lower limit of the dataset. So the values of the descriptors for this reaction are at the edges of the training dataset.  Thus, it is interesting to see if a strategy such as that used successfully in the O($^3$P) + HCl reaction will work for \ce{Cl($^2$P_{3/2}) + CH4}.

Then too, there is the question of when to use the results of the GP calculation on the Large-$\chi$ set and when to use those of the Small-$\chi$ dataset. Only at the lowest temperatures are the $u^*$ values only found in the former, so one must make a transition between using the two sets that does not result in a discontinuity in the slope of the log$_{10}(k(T))$ vs $1000/T$ plot. Here, we use a transition between the two sets based on the probability that a given $u^*$ will be associated with one set rather than the other, as described in Section S-I of the SM along with some details of the GP calculations using each dataset. We used a different strategy in paper 2 where a weighted average of predicted $\chi$ values was used for several temperatures. \cite{NandiOHCl2020}

Table \ref{tab:GPcalculation} provides a summary of the GP-predicted results along with TST and Eckart corrected TST and experiment.  The TST result is calculated either by direct count of the rotational levels and degeneracies or by using classical formulae, with practically identical results for the temperatures listed.  Our TST calculations are in agreement with those of HM and GK, following discussions with HM, as described in Section S-IV of the SM.  The ``accurate'' value of the rate constant is taken as the result of a third-order polynomial fit to the experimental log$_{10}(k(t))$ vs $1000/T$ plot, shown in Fig. S1 in Section S-II.  As mentioned, the Eckart correction $\kappa$ predicts only a factor of ca. 2 correction from the TST rate constant at the lowest temperatures and is otherwise close to unity (i.e., no correction).  The GP calculation gives a further factor of ca. 5.9 correction at the lowest temperature, but falls somewhat short of the GP target factor, 10.2, that would be needed to provide agreement with experiment, i.e., ``accurate''.

Figure \ref{fig:ourresults} shows the progression of our calculations.  The blue line gives the TST result, whereas the dashed green line gives the Eckart-corrected TST result. As can be seen, there is very little difference between these two; the Eckart correction is small.  The black line with error bars shows the results of the further correction from the GP calculation, whereas the solid green line gives the result of the fit to the experiment. The GP correction substantially improved the low-temperature rate constants but does not quite provide quantitative agreement with the experiment. (Note that the GP correction uses $\chi$ values from the Large and Small $\chi$ datasets as described in detail in the SM. At the lowest three temperatures of Table \ref{tab:GPcalculation} the contributions from the Large-$\chi$ datasets are 87, 53, and 11 percent, respectively.  At 400 K or above the contributions are less than 3 percent; at 700 K or above they are less thatn 0.5 percent.) Neverthless, there is a major improvement over TST and also the Eckart correction at both low and high temperatures.  At high temperatures  both TST and Eckart corrected TST overestimates the accurate result by about a factors of 2 - 5.

The representative error bars shown in Fig. \ref{fig:ourresults} are caused by two sources, the uncertainties for the ML predictions using different noise values and the uncertainties for using differing methods for combining the small- and large-$\chi$ data sets.  The former is smaller than the latter.  Fig. S4 shows predictions for different noise values used in the large-$\chi$ set; the curves are close except at the lowest temperatures.  A larger error, shown by the representative error bars in Fig. \ref{fig:ourresults} comes from the latter error source.  The method we used (see Section S-I) was not the only method we tested, and the representative error bars include uncertainty from the different methods.

\begin{figure}[h!]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=1.0\columnwidth]{OurResults.pdf}
    \caption{Cl + \ce{CH4} results for the GP method. The method starts with the TST rate constant (solid blue), performs a standard Eckart correction (producing the dashed green curve), and then performs a GP correction based on the original dataset (producing the solid black curve with representative error bars).  If the Cl + \ce{CH4} reaction is included in the dataset, the GP calculation gives the solid red line, with representative error bars.}
    \label{fig:ourresults}
\end{figure}
Of course, one goal of this study is to expand the dataset. The red line with error bars shows the GP result following augmentation of the training dataset with the data for the \ce{Cl($^2$P_{3/2}) + CH4} reaction under investigation.  When the reaction is included in the dataset with the target $\chi$ values, the GP calculate reproduces the experimental data down to $1000/T = 4$, but then still underestimates slightly the needed correction at the lowest temperatures.  We note that the data, the original GP calculation, and the GP calculation made with the augmented training dataset all predict lower rate constants at very high temperatures, when compared to the TST rate constants, correctly capturing the effect of recrossing trajectories.

\section*{Discussion}

Despite the small size of our training dataset, the partial coverage  of it and other challenges posed by the  \ce{Cl($^2$P_{3/2}) + CH4} $\rightarrow$ HCl + \ce{CH3} reaction, the results shown above demonstrate that it is both possible to obtain an good prediction of the temperature dependence of a new reaction and that the prediction is improved substantially when the dataset is expanded by including the new reaction. We now investigate how the GP prediction compares with others.

    \label{fig:comparison}
\end{figure}

Figure \ref{fig:comparison}. shows a comparison of recent results from several groups.  Liu and Li\cite{LL2020} used a machine-learning approach to develop a potential energy surface for the Cl + \ce{CH4} reaction and then performed RPMD calculations of the rate constant for several temperatures in a limited range.  Their result is shown as the solid red line in the figure, which extends from $1000/T = 0.5-5.0$.  The GP results from this work using the original training set are shown as the solid black line with representative error bars.  The agreement between the two is good, but neither agrees perfectly with the experimental results, a sampling of which is shown along with the green line fit to all the experimental data.  The results from the method of Georgievskii and Klippenstein\cite{GK2021} are shown in the dotted red line.  Hoppe and Manthe\cite{HM2022} used the LL PES to perform quantum calculations of the rate constant as a function of temperature, and their results are shown in the dashed red line extending from $1000/T=1.85-6.67$.  Both the GK and HH results are in relatively good agreement with the experiment, with the HM calculation being almost in exact agreement.

It is interesting to note that our GP results, using the original data set, and so a prediction, are in  slightly in better overall agreement with experiment than the RPMD ones.  The former requires only 4 parameters, a simple program, and a basic dataset; the calculation takes about a minute on a laptop.  The latter calculation requires a full PES, a much more elaborate code, and a substantially longer calculation time.  It is also curious that the RPMD calculation is not in better agreement with full QM calculation of HM, especially since both used the same PES.  RPMD is essentially exact for the H + \ce{CH4} reaction\cite{rpmdch52015} as shown in Figure. S4 of ref. \citenum{houston19}, as well as for the O + \ce{CH4} reaction\cite{rpmdclch4} as shown in Figure. 3 of ref.\citenum{houston19} and for the O($^3$P) + HCl reaction\cite{rpmd2019} as shown in Figure. 9 of ref. \citenum{NandiOHCl2020}. Whatever the answer is to this puzzle, it is clear that the GP method is effective in making a substantial correction to the TST or Eckart corrected TST rate constants, as we have seen in Figures. \ref{fig:ourresults} and \ref{fig:comparison}.

Another observation is that both our GP result and the data suggest that the rate constant is reduced at high temperatures compared to the TST result, likely because of recrossing.  At first it seems surprising that neither the HM nor GK result captures this effect.  In the HM study, the authors specifically commented that they did not see the trapped oscillatory motion of the H atom due to the heavy-light-heavy mass combination. However, it seems likely from Figure. \ref{fig:comparison} that their quantum calculation was not performed at high enough temperatures to observe this effect; the dashed red line giving their results stops at $1000/T =1.85$ or $T=540$ K,. The approach of GK, while effectively accounting for the tunneling, was not designed to cover recrossing.  The RPMD calculation of LL and our GP calculation do appear to capture the effect, as shown most clearly in the bottom panel of Figure. \ref{fig:comparison}. We do note that the GP predictions using the original datasets overestimates the extent of recrossing at temperatures between around 340 - 600 K.

Finally, we comment briefly on the possible effects of van der Waals wells in this reaction and in general. The importance of these for rate constants was perhaps noted first for the O($^3$P)+HCl reaction.\cite{tiao2002,xieohcl,rpmd2019} The reaction was the focus of a ``stress test'' for RPMD \cite{rpmd2019}, and as noted already it was one focus of our paper II in this series.\cite{NandiOHCl2020} The fundamental effect is a quantum one, where resonances in these well enhance the reactivity at energies below the barrier and thus enhance tunneling. This quantum effect is not described in RPMD, and so the absence of this enhanced tunneling was suggested as the reason RPMD underestimates the exact quantum rate constant (on the same PES).\cite{rpmd2019}  We don't know if these effects are involved in the present reaction, which as noted does have van der Waals wells, and it is beyond the scope of this paper to investigate this issue. However, it is interesting to speculate on how these wells might be approximately incorporated into a 1d tunneling correction such as the Eckart correction. One of us presented a simple heuristic 1d model that treats the resonances as metastable states that increase tunneling through a 1d barrier.\cite{bowman05} That might be a first step towards such theory.

\section{Conclusions}

The Gaussian Process regression method for machine learning of thermal rate constants developed previously\cite{houston19,NandiOHCl2020} has been shown here to provide a good estimate of the temperature dependence of the rate constant for the  \ce{Cl($^2$P_{3/2}) + CH4} $\rightarrow$ HCl + \ce{CH3} reaction. The results suggest both that tunneling is important at temperatures below about 250 K and that recrossing is important at temperatures above about 500 K. The results are in fairly good agreement with RPMD calculations by Liu and Li\cite{LL2020}, but neither method is as accurate in predicting the experimental results as the predictions of the method used by Georgievskii and Klippenstein\cite{GK2021} or, especially, the quantum calculations of Hoppe and Manthe,\cite{HM2022} in the deep tunneling regime. However, the present ML and RMPD results are closer to experiment at higher temperatures, where recrossing becomes signficant.  When the new reaction is included in the training dataset, the GP results are in agreement with experiment to within the error limits, suggesting that the new training set will be more effective in predicting rates for new three-dimensional systems in the future. We note that the original training basis set\cite{at1998} was based predominantly on the results of one-dimensional reaction calculations.  As more complex reactions are added to the dataset, we can expect improvements in the prediction of other reactions such as the Cl + \ce{CH4} one.

2020 ELECTION Biden Campaign: Trump Will Be Escorted From the White House
Biden Campaign: Trump Will Be Escorted From the White House
Biden campaign: "And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House."
By Rusty Weiss
A spokesman for the Joe Biden campaign has threatened to have President Trump escorted from the White House if he does not concede the election.
The comments come as reports suggest the President has made no indication that he will concede if the media declares Biden the winner.
Trump's campaign has refused to back down as they pursue litigation in states in which they are disputing the validity of a number of ballots.
"I'm not thinking about concession speech or acceptance speech yet," the President told reporters. "Hopefully we'll be only doing one of those two. Winning is easy. Losing is never easy. Not for me, it's not."
Biden campaign spokesperson Andrew Bates issued a response.
"As we said on July 19th, the American people will decide this election," Bates said in a statement. "And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House."

Threats to Have Trump Escorted Out of White House Are Shameful
It's clear the Biden campaign is attempting to intimidate the President into dropping his efforts to protect the integrity of the election and make sure every "legal" vote counts.
Trump's team has filed multiple lawsuits in multiple states as they allege that some of the votes in these states may be invalid.
President Trump, tweeting comments by former Independent Counsel Ken Starr, pointed out legal arguments in both Michigan and Pennsylvania that Democrat governors and state attorneys general violated the Constitution in extending ballot-counting deadlines.
"This is what we know. We have to go back to the state level and how this morass came to be in the first instance. The Governor, Wolf, and the State Supreme Court, flagrantly violated the Constitution of the U.S. The power to set these rules and regulations is vested in the
….Legislature. They just ignored that, ignored the Constitution. Now we bring it down to the counting houses, and outrageously, observers, who are the sentinels of integrity & transparency, were excluded. Pennsylvania has conducted itself in a horrible lawless way, and….
Starr went on to express his hope that these state matters can be resolved by the Supreme Court.
….hopefully this will be corrected at the Supreme Court of the United States. Also, these late ballots past Election Day are illegal, exactly what the President has been saying. The Supreme Court, in extraordinary circumstances,…
….has been able to render decisions in a matter of days." Ken Starr, former Independent Counsel @Varneyco
Trump's campaign earlier today issued a statement saying they were not prepared to give up the fight.
"This election is not over," Matt Morgan, Trump 2020 campaign general counsel, insisted. "The false projection of Joe Biden as the winner is based on results in four states that are far from final."
"Biden is relying on these states for his phony claim on the White House, but once the election is final, President Trump will be re-elected."
Trump is refusing to concede.
Many news outlets are calling #Election2020 a Biden win. Some are waiting.

Remember – Biden Threatened to Have the Military Throw President Trump Out
Back in June, Biden himself argued that the military will intervene should President Trump lose to him in the 2020 election and refuse to leave office.
"I promise, I am absolutely convinced they [the military] will escort him from the White House with great dispatch," said Biden.
Joe Biden says that his greatest concern that is that President Trump is going to try to "steal this election" and the military will have to escort him from the White House.

The President has not refused to leave office, simply refused to concede that he actually lost the election. There's a big difference.

As part of AccuWeigh's "A Higher Cause" charity initiative, AccuWeigh Queensland has donated $500 to the Lady Cilento Children's Hospital Foundation. The Lady Cilento Children's Hospital is a new major children's hospital in Brisbane, opened in late 2014.
The hospital combined the Royal Children's Hospital and the Mater Children's Hospital together into one new facility. The main building consists of 12 levels, with 359 beds (288 serviced). The new facility represents the largest capital investment in children's health services in Queensland state's history.
Through this donation, AccuWeigh acknowledges the great work that this hospital is doing for seriously ill and injured children. Overall, AccuWeigh has donated over $40,000 to worthy charities since the inception of "A Higher Cause" back in late 2008. AccuWeigh's Chief Executive Officer, Mr Brenton Cunningham, recognises the need to make a contribution back to the community through a combination of volunteering labour, the running of special events, employing of less-privileged people, direct donations, and more.
