Prof with stellar election prediction record sees Trump triumph
Ariel Zilber reports for the Daily Mail on the latest projections from an American academic with a great track record in predicting presidential election results. The results will please backers of Donald Trump.
An American professor who has devised a system that has helped him correctly predict the last eight US presidential elections says that Donald Trump will emerge victorious on November 8.
Allan Lichtman, a distinguished professor of history at American University, says that he judges candidates by certain criteria that he calls 'the 13 keys to the White House.'
The professor told The Washington Post that the key are simple true-false statements built on the premise that presidential elections are a referendum on the performance of the incumbent in the White House and the party that he represents. …
… With the election less than two months away, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is slightly ahead in the latest polls.
Still, Lichtman says that Trump has the upper hand.
'The keys are 13 true/false questions, where an answer of "true" always favors the reelection of the party holding the White House, in this case the Democrats,' he says.
'And the keys are phrased to reflect the basic theory that elections are primarily judgments on the performance of the party holding the White House.'
'And if six or more of the 13 keys are false – that is, they go against the party in power – they lose. If fewer than six are false, the party in power gets four more years.'
The professor says that despite the fact that President Barack Obama will leave office with relatively high popularity numbers, that will not necessarily help Clinton since she lacks his charisma.
Another factor working against Clinton is the fact that the Democrats suffered significant losses during the most recent midterm elections.

Return of the '葱' [Negi]* !!!
A parody of the Mai HiME Drama CD Volume Two, Track 2 haha.
Alright, I took almost an hour on this, usually I can finish two pages in 30mins -.-||| Is that considered slow? Haha. I spent more effort this time to compare the Mandarin version with the Raw with this cool Japanese Word Processor. Kanji? No problem, I can type the Kanji with the Mandarin Word Processor, copy and paste on the Japanese Word Processor and viola, it gives me the meaning and Hiragana of the Kanji, cool eh? =).
I'm trying to make the translated pages more professional looking and pleasing, instead of just mere erase, type and paste. Page 4's a killer haha, as I tried patching up the background with my lousy skills ... it's very tough but I think it looks ok ba XD.
More [*] sidenotes to come on later pages as it gets a little 'thorny', I'm afterall just a self-learn-Japanese person, can't say everything is the best or very accurate.
I'm still improving on it, hope you guys enjoy it and give me some comments will ya? Even lurkers too, thanks =).
You're so sweet to post these.
Oh god, LOL! That was so cute/funny! XD Thanks for posting it!

Tess Daly: 'My greatest fear? Flying.' Photograph: Getty Images
Sat 17 Dec 2016 04.29 EST Last modified on Wed 1 Jul 2020 12.58 EDT
Born in Stockport, Daly, 47, began her career as a model. In 1999 she presented Find Me A Model on The Big Breakfast, and since 2004 has co-hosted Strictly Come Dancing; the 2016 final is tonight on BBC1. Daly is married to the presenter Vernon Kay; they have two daughters and live in Buckinghamshire.
When were you happiest?
Holding my two babies, Phoebe and Amber, for the first time.
Flying. When it starts to get bumpy I have to pull a blanket over my head and silently scream.
What is your earliest memory?
On holiday in Llandudno, walking along holding my dad's hand and listening to my new red patent leather shoes clip-clopping on the pavement. I felt like a big girl. I was six.
Which living person do you most admire, and why?
Bruce Forsyth, because not only is he the most talented showman, he is the most generous individual.
What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
Extreme germ phobia: toilet door handles, the ice-cream seller holding your cone with his bare hands, touching raw meat or chicken.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
Lactating on live television. Luckily I was wearing black, so only I knew.
A voice recording my dad left on my machine the week before he died, in 2003, 17 days after I got married.
What is your screensaver?
Claudia [Winkleman] and my Strictly producer who had four spray tans between them in Blackpool. Claudia sent it to me and said, "Do you think I've gone a bit too far this time?" It makes me splutter every time I see it.
What do you most dislike about your appearance?
I broke my nose playing netball aged 15. I've hated my profile ever since.
If you could bring something extinct back to life, what would you choose?
Better Bars: they were made from caramelised puffed rice. Nobody but me remembers them.
What is your most unappealing habit?
I bite off my split ends. There's probably a fur ball in my stomach.
Which book changed your life?
The Naked Civil Servant by Quentin Crisp. I was so intrigued by the man, I hunted him down when I moved to New York. My first interview was with him. I filmed our conversation and it got me my first job in television.
What do you owe your parents?
Humility, northern grit, the value of working hard to get what you want.
What or who is the greatest love of your life?
My family.
Bryan Cranston: 'Who would play me in the film of my life? Mr Bean'
What was the best kiss of your life?
On the balcony at Fabric nightclub in 1999 – it lasted a full five minutes. Was it Vernon? It might have been!
What is the worst job you've done?
Serving bar snacks in a pub in my teens. Once I spilled an entire family's Sunday lunch into the dad's lap.
How often do you have sex?
I can't say; my mum might read this.
What is the closest you've come to death?
On a motorway three years ago. An HGV hadn't seen me and pulled out. My father-in-law's a truck driver and he said black cars are not very visible. I don't drive them any more.
What is the most important lesson life has taught you?
Life is a mirror and you get back what you give out.
Tell us a joke
What do you call a husband and wife fishing together? Rod and Annette.

While it is still too early to take a position on the actual consequences of Brexit, the main tax implications for groups with operations both in France and in the UK can and should already be anticipated. Notably, Brexit's entry into force will call the application of the EU legislation and regulatory system into question in the UK. One therefore wonders whether the numerous double tax treaties entered into by the UK will be sufficient to compensate for the disappearance of the tax benefits resulting from the EU legislation.
The below provides an overview of the main identifiable tax impacts of Brexit.
The tax treatment of dividends, interest and royalties has been largely influenced by the Parent-Subsidiary Directive and the Interest and Royalties Directive which would no longer be applicable after Brexit.
As a reminder, since the famous "Papillon" judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), French subsidiaries held through a subsidiary located in the EU or EEA may be tax consolidated with the other French companies.
In addition, since 2014, French sister companies whose joint parent entity is established in the EU or EEA can form a tax consolidated group ("horizontal tax consolidation").
Brexit should trigger the termination of the existing "Papillon" and horizontal tax consolidated groups, except if the UK joins the EEA immediately after exiting the EU. The potential impacts and costs of these terminations should be anticipated (e.g. de-neutralisations of intra-group transactions, indemnity to be paid between consolidated entity), notably to limit them to the extent possible (e.g. by transferring the shares of French companies to ensure the continuity of existing French tax group).
Similar consequences should be anticipated in EU countries having similar "Papillon" and horizontal tax consolidation systems.
"Mergers" Directive which organises the tax neutrality of mergers and similar transactions (spin-off, partial contributions of assets) between companies from different Member States. However, Brexit's impact should be limited since the tax neutrality set by Article 210 A of the FTC also applies to operations with a company located in a State which has concluded a double tax treaty (DTT) with France containing an administrative assistance clause, which is the case of the UK-France DTT. Therefore, cross-border transactions with the UK should continue to be eligible for the tax favourable regime when the conditions are met.
The various VAT Directives which are intended to harmonise the taxation rules in the EU (e.g. application of preferential rates on certain products and services, reverse charge mechanism, exemptions). Consequently, acquisitions and deliveries of products or services between France and the UK should no longer be treated as intra-Community acquisitions and deliveries but as imports and exports outside the EU, making the administrative management of transactions between the EU and the UK more complex and cumbersome (compulsory appointment of a tax representative, VAT refund procedures, adaptation of working tools such as ERP, invoicing system). Similarly, trade flows should be subject to customs duties.
The Directive on the automatic exchange of information and assistance in the recovery of tax claims. However, the new automatic information exchange standard and the multilateral convention on mutual assistance in tax matters should, in theory, take over from the directive and thus at least potentially compensate for the disappearance of the directive.
Directive applicable to registration fees, which regulates the exemption from registration fees for capital increases between companies of different Member States.
Exemption for deferred capital gains or tax deferment in the event of a transfer of a company's registered office to an EU Member State should no longer apply to relocations to the UK.
Any EU country conditioning certain tax benefits to the localisation in the EU of an expense / income / operation may no longer provide such benefit to UK-located operations. This needs to be checked on a country-by-country basis.
On the contrary, Brexit should not have any impact on transfer pricing since it is mainly governed by tax treaties and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) guidelines which will remain in place.
In light of the above, while Brexit will undoubtedly disturb and make future relations more complex between the UK and the EU Member States, the UK could compensate for the loss of Community benefits by introducing a (very) advantageous tax policy.
This change in tax environment could also modify the strategy for setting up European holding companies despite the privileged status they currently hold in the UK, notably to continue benefiting from the benefits / protections offered by the EU Directives and the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU.
 Council's Directive 2003/49/EC of 3 June 2003 on a common tax system applicable to interest and royalty payments made between associated companies of different Member States.
 Multilateral Convention for the Implementation of Tax Treaty Measures to Prevent the Erosion of the Tax Base and the Transfer of Profits of 7 June 2017.

One of Nigeria's Nollywood movie stars Rita Dominic is expected to visit Malawi in May courtesy of DStv provider Multichoice Malawi. Dominic who has starred in several Nollywood films is currently one of the popular actresses in Nigeria.
Nigeria through its Nollywood has uplifted the film industry in the African continent and is currently the third largest. According to Multichoice Malawi Sales and Marketing Manager Blantyre Branch, Chimwemwe Nyirenda, they decided to bring the movie star to the southern African country as part of the five years celebrations of the Africa Magic channel.
"Ever since this channel started on DStv, it has gained popularity and is loved by many people in the African continent. It's a channel which was placed to promote Africa and its people. So as part of the celebrations we decided to bring the Nigerian movie star," said Nyirenda.
He said that Dominic was currently doing well in the Nollywood films according to the survey they carried out by asking Nollywood producers.
Multichoice alongside Nation Publications Limited and South African Airways and Sunbird Hotels has since launched a promotion in the country which its main prize is a golden ticket for people to enter three parties Dominic will hold.
Nyirenda said the movie star will arrive in Malawi on May 12 through the capital, Lilongwe before hosting an exclusive party the following day.
"For people to enter the promotion, they need to subscribe to DStv premium, Compact or Family bouquets from March to May 9. Secondly, they need to buy Nation on Sunday newspaper cut all nine Nollywood star posters that will be coming and submit," he said.
Apart from winning golden tickets to party with Dominic, people will also have a chance of winning branded Africa Magic promotion materials.
Nyirenda also said that the objective of the promotion was to increase awareness of Africa Magic and Africa Magic plus and change the mindset that DStv is very expensive.
Dominic, who will leave on May 16, will also hold two parties in the country's commercial city of Blantyre on May 14. She will also take time to do charity work.
Multichoice Malawi was established in the country in May 1998 with the prime purpose of managing DStv subscriber base.


Some of my friends and I have been visiting Holmes County for the past four years. We never get tired of the area. This year we stayed at Simple Blessings Grace Cabin. It is a great place, very clean with everything you would need. It is conveniently located near the Berlin shopping and restaurants, etc. We were fortunate to meet Mr. Zimmerman, the owner. He is such a nice person, he made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. I would recommend Simple Blessings and will definitely consider staying there again!
Where were the homemade cookies? Lots of run down furniture and the porch needs work. Amish cleaners were rude.
We stayed in the Faith cabin last week and just LOVED IT. So clean, very homey and comfortable. Wonderful view, quiet. We enjoyed the "surprise" cookies! The owners thought of every detail. The cost was ideal for what was offered~room with efficiency, loft and jacuzzi. We will stay here again, even if it is just an overnight get~away.
We stayed this past Thursday in the Faith cabin. LOVED IT!! Beautiful room (very clean), beautiful setting. The cookies were delish and a nice surprise! We would stay there again in a heartbeat! The owners have thought of everything to make you feel so comfortable and welcomed!


A Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It is a capable little computer which can be used in electronics projects, and for many of the things that your desktop PC or Mac does, like spreadsheets, word processing, browsing the internet, and playing games.
The Raspberry Pi is a fantastic tool for learning how to code and create functioning circuits.
Once the basics are understood, the imagination can lead to endless robotic and engineering projects!
What does my camper get to bring home?
One SunFounder programming and circuitry kit specially designed for the Raspberry pi ($45).
Camp binder detailing the basics of Linux, Python, and simple circuits.
Controlling input/ouput with switches, buttons, LEDs, motors, etc.
What age group and how much does camp cost?
This summer camp is open to all rising 6th-9th graders.
The cost of the camp includes the cost of supplies (~$130 value).
When is this camp offered?
The Peabody Pi Camp is a one week, all day camp. The camp size limit is 10 campers per session to ensure the maximum time and attention can be paid to each camper's questions.
What do previous parents and campers have to say about this summer camp?
My son proclaimed Mr. Chain's camp his favorite of the entire summer. He learned the type of coding/programming he's been hungry for since third grade (he was 12 last summer). He has long felt that kids his age are capable of doing "real" programming, not just "Scratch," and in Mr. Chain's camp he finally found a teacher and group of kids who tackled serious programming in a fun, supportive environment. My son STILL tinkers with Raspberry Pi at home and recently taught himself Python, all of which he credits to Mr. Chain's camp. Mr. Chain creates a welcoming, structured but enjoyable environment; my son couldn't wait to get to camp each day. I appreciated Mr. Chain's organized and clear communication with parents, also. We are grateful to him for filling this gap in tech summer camps in the area, and for generally being such a kind, thoughtful teacher.
My son had an awesome time at the Raspberry Pi camp last summer. He loved learning coding and circuitry, and spending time with Mr. Chain and his friends. After the camp ended he set up the Raspberry Pi at home and continued to experiment and create projects on his own. Actually my favorite part of the camp was that after it ended he said he couldn't wait for school to start again in the fall!
I did the Raspberry Pi Camp this past summer, and it was really fun. In the past, I have done a lot of coding camps, but using the Raspberry Pi was especially unique and interesting. I think the main reason it was so fun was because half of what we did in the camp was digital coding in Python, and the other half was wiring physically with breadboard circuits. There are so many cool things you can do with a Raspberry Pi. My favorite one that I created was a security system. It was set up so that anybody who passed through a sensor would turn on a light and make a loud beeping noise. I think this camp is great for anyone who is into coding because you can write some really interesting programs and combine them with the physical wiring of the bread board.

Q: Trouble with setTimeout in javascript for MaxMSP I've already looked at quite a few other questions but I can't seem to fix this issue with setTimeout
So I've been working on this and came to this, but for some reason the setTimeout does not work, any tips?
function curves(val_name, mini, maxi, t_amount, steps) {
    //t_amount MUST be in ms
    for (x = 0; x < steps; x++) {
        var x_mod = scale(x, -6, 0, 0, steps);
        var value = setTimeout(calculate_curve, (t_amount / steps), x_mod);

        switch (val_name) {
            case "vol_stretch1":
                var vol_stretch1 = this.patcher.getnamed("stretching").subpatcher(0).getnamed("vol_stretch1");
                vol_stretch1 = value
                break;
            case "vol_stretch2":
                var vol_stretch2 = this.patcher.getnamed("stretching").subpatcher(0).getnamed("vol_stretch2");
                vol_stretch2 = value
                break;
            case "vol_stretch3":
                var vol_stretch3 = this.patcher.getnamed("stretching").subpatcher(0).getnamed("vol_stretch3");
                vol_stretch3 = value
                break;
        }
    }
}

function calculate_curve(x) {
    var constant_e = 2.718281828459;
    var result = (1 / 1 + (constant_e ^ (x * -1))) * -1; //sigmoid function * -1 to have the nice rise
}

function scale(unscaledNum, minAllowed, maxAllowed, minimum, maximum) {
    return (maxAllowed - minAllowed) * (unscaledNum - minimum) / (maximum - minimum) + minAllowed;
}

You can ignore the switch as it works with an extension for MaxMSP but isn't very important here. The error I get back is "Javascript ReferenceError: setTimeout is not defined". Any help is greatly appreciated!

A: I've not worked with Max before, but from a small amount of searching it looks like you're writing something along the lines of a plugin.
It looks like Max is running it's own Javascript environment of some sort. setTimeout is a method on the window object of browsers in Javascript, and as such it is not necessarily implemented in Javascript outside of the browser, as Max appears to be.
The recommended alternative seems to be to use the Task object exposed by the environment, which has some documentation here:
https://docs.cycling74.com/max5/vignettes/js/jstaskobject.html
I have no way of testing this, but from the documentation it looks like something along the lines of the below should work:
var task = new Task(function() {
    calculate_curve(x_mod);
}, this);
task.schedule((t_amount / steps));

Ро́берт О́ливер Рид (; , Уимблдон, Лондон — , Валлетта, Мальта) — британский актёр, часто игравший маргиналов, создатель мужественных образов на экране.

Биография
Родился в доме №9 по Даррингтон-парк-Роуд в семье спортивного журналиста Питера Рида и Марсии Нейпир-Эндрюс. У него есть брат Саймон, который работает журналистом в британском отделении сети Eurosport. Является племянником известного британского режиссёра, лауреата премии «Оскар» и многих других кинонаград, сэра Кэрола Рида. Дед актёра — знаменитый в конце XIX века актёр и режиссёр Герберт Бирбом Три. В своей автобиографии Рид утверждал, что его бабушка по отцовской линии Беатрис Мэй Пинни (она была любовницей его деда и родила его отца и дядю вне брака, позже приняла фамилию Рид) была потомком русского царя Петра I.

Много работал с конца 1950-х, часто не обращая внимания на художественный уровень предлагаемых ролей. Долго не воспринимался как настоящий актёр. Нашел «своё место» в фильмах компании «Hammer Film Productions» лишь в начале 1960-х, сыграв в ряде картин, самой удачной из которых принято называть «Проклятие оборотня» (1961). Затем обратил на себя внимание главными ролями второго плана в историко-приключенческих лентах Джона Гилинга  (1963) и  (1965).

В конце 1960-х Рид заявил о себе как о настоящем мастере кино. В 1969 году он исполнил роль в фильме Кена Рассела «Влюбленные женщины». Сцена борьбы Рида и Алана Бейтса из этого фильма по праву вошла в историю кино и считается самой знаменательной в карьере Оливера.

В конце 1960-х Оливер Рид сыграл в знаменитой киноверсии музыкального спектакля «Оливер!», поставленной его прославленным дядей Кэролом Ридом.

Найдя в лице Рассела «своего» режиссёра, Оливер Рид продолжает много работать с ним и в 1970-е. Следует отметить сотрудничество с Расселом в исторической драме «Дьяволы» (1971) и фильме «Малер» (1974) из своеобразного цикла телевизионных «байопиков». Также Рид сыграл заметную роль в рок-опере «Томми» (1975). При этом творческий потенциал актера раскрылся и он перешел к исполнению более сложных ролей.

В 1970-е актер сыграл роль Атоса в дилогии Ричарда Лестера «Три мушкётера» и «Четыре мушкетёра: Месть миледи», трактовавшей романы Дюма в несколько ироничном ключе. В 1989 году Рид вернулся к роли Атоса в продолжение фильмов — «Возвращение мушкетёров».

Актер достойно «справился» и с реальным историческим персонажем — Отто фон Бисмарком — в фильме того же Ричарда Лестера «Королевский блеск» (1975).

В 1979 году Оливер Рид сыграл в триллере Дэвида Кроненберга «Выводок». По мнению критиков, эта роль знаменует вершину творческих амбиций Рида, а его стремление к актерскому самосовершенствованию начинает идти на спад. За последующие годы он сыграл во многих картинах, из которых можно отметить фильмы «Лев пустыни» (1981, режиссёр Мустафа Аккад),  (1985, режиссёр Джон Хаф), «Отверженный» (1986, режиссёр Николас Роуг), «Дом Ашеров» (1988, режиссёр Алан Биркиншоу) и «Приключения барона Мюнхгаузена» (1989, режиссёр Терри Гиллиам). За ними последовал период творческого спада.

Рид страдал от алкоголизма, вследствие чего ему часто приходилось искать оправдания: «Я делал серьёзные заявления от своего имени — я просто не помню ни одного из них».

Смерть
Двенадцать лет спустя после съёмок в «Приключениях барона Мюнхгаузена» Оливер Рид вернулся на экран в фильме Ридли Скотта «Гладиатор». Роль получилась короткой, поскольку актёр умер в период съёмок от сердечного приступа. Инцидент произошёл в баре: выпив три бутылки ямайского рома «Капитан Морган», восемь бутылок немецкого пива и множество стопок виски «Famous Grouse», Рид одержал верх в армрестлинге над пятью значительно более молодыми матросами ВМФ. Его счёт за этот вечер составил почти 450 фунтов стерлингов. Позднее этот паб изменил своё название на «Ollie`s Last Pub».

On May 5, 207, Rodolfo Narvaez, a 40-year-old of Halls Layout, Corozal Town, reported that his Dodge Caravan 2000 was broken into on May 4, 2017. The van with license plate CZL-01394 was parked in front of a popular bar on 1st Avenue. The right passenger window, valued at 0, was shattered. An assortment of electronics and other miscellaneous items valued at ,300 were stolen. Police are investigating.


Does your advice apply to team members who are unmotivated? If not, how should I go about managing them?
How do I balance being a coach, collaborator and challenger with urgent demands to deliver?
Truth is, Google, Linkedin and Facebook, as premium employers, can hire all their staff for strict criterion such as high motivation, capacity and adaptability. I have worked in some places like that, where it is easier to make the shifts I suggested. Everything seems to flow.
On the other hand, I have also worked in places where motivation, capacity and attitudes were varying. This is the more common experience of the two. What do you do when you are a new manager, your boss is breathing down your neck for a deadline that was yesterday, and there are team members who simply cannot do the job "up to standard" or simply do not want to do it?
On self-management: if you are a high performer, chances are verything seems "urgent" to you because your frame of reference is how fast it can be done. You need to stop and think about what is truly urgent, and whether the standards you are applying are truly necessarily (a silly example but some of you may identify: do I really need people to write in perfect English ALL the time, or is it just my preference??) Think hard, because cost is alienating your team by trying to deliver everything that 10 clones of yourself could do. More on self-management later, but I define this field as understanding your own triggers and tendencies that make your over-react, so that you can catch yourself before the damage is done. We all have these: I have many.
On boss management: If you are a high performer who recently became a new manager, perhaps you think your boss hired you to make his life easier.You want your boss to have the perception that everything is under control, so you try to settle as many things without knocking on his door. Pick your bosses carefully, and if you find a decent one, he/she will be more sympathetic than you think. Having honest conversations with your bosses about priorities and staff development should be inbuilt to your monthly routine. Sometimes, stepping out and having your boss work directly with your team members helps bring issues into focus. More on boss engagement here.
Now for the hard part: how to help "less-motivated" staff, especially when your team is under pressure to perform. My friend Sandra Soon, who has had more than a decade of management experience, mentally sorts her team along two dimensions: capacity and alignment.
Capacity refers to the ability to do the job as the organization requires.
Alignment refers to the closeness between the individual's motivations and the organization's motivations.
The matrix below shapes her developmental strategies.
My last article works better for the top half of the table. For the groups in the bottom half of the table, the challenging part is not making value judgments immediately; Sandra says: "I try to control my natural urge to be critical and make an effort to assume the best of people at the beginning — often lack of motivation stems from quite benign reasons eg they are distracted due to their many other interests, or they may not actually realise that they can do so much better." In other words, don't jump to the exit option too early.
Aaron Maniam, another respected leader with years of experience under his belt, provides elaboration on strategies you can take to help "less motivated" team members before considering exiting them. These are particularly pertinent in work contexts where exiting staff may be very difficult (another difference from Google/Linkedin/Facebook) – bureaucracies and family business are examples.
Unearth external and seasonal factors.
Aaron writes: "If people *seem* unmotivated, we need to talk to them and find out why. The answer could be something as simple as stuff going on at home, or a bad spell. Our job as leaders is then to help them through this bad patch or transient valley. This might involve some reallocation of work, having them work from home for a while so they can take care of kids, etc".
Fix the structure and infrastructure of work.
Accept, and figure out a strategy towards unambitious team members.
Aaron writes "I personally think it's ok for people to make decisions that they don't want to be particularly ambitious, and are content to work at a steady pace, go home at a regular hour on most days, etc. They of course need to be realistic and accept that this means they aren't going to get promoted super soon or get an enormous performance bonus — but as long as they keep their expectations realistic, I think this is fine and a perfectly legitimate life decision. They might change it later on, or someone who was once a high performer might decide to reallocate their energies a bit after a few years, and good leaders/bosses need to know how to work around this. If the expectations are unrealistic, then of course a clear and firm conversation needs to be had." Adding to this, Sandra points out that if you choose to retain an average performer, you will need to manage the perceptions of the rest of the team, who might feel they are shouldering an unfairly large share of the work.
What is a good exit?
Sandra and Aaron also address what it means to exit team members well. Exiting team members must be done with a sense of responsibility towards both the individual and the organization. It is not about passing them to other teams as quickly as possible, but helping them find a better job fit: "for example, some people who are motivated by short-term, quantifiable targets will do better in sales jobs than in policy jobs", Sandra writes.
I love their advice. Personally, in trying to balance the need for speed/quality versus the desire to nurture team members, I try to take a structured approach. I map out the mission-critical priorities and may assign high performers to those as a start. Especially as a new manager, it's best not to fail on mission-critical priorities early on. However, it is easy to get into the cycle of only giving priority work to high performers. One must have a systematic way of reviewing work assignments, and ensuring that "stretch" projects go to team members who initially demonstrate less potential or motivation. (For sanity, I do this at a time when I have bandwidth to provide coaching).
I also want to speak to those of us who are managers of managers: we need to be particularly mindful of what new managers are going through, and assure them that they have our trust as they strive to gain the trust of their team. That can make all the difference, as new managers often feel torn between their bosses and teams. I personally think it is wise to give a new manager a 30-90 day period where they function as a peer to their team, rather than a boss – learning the ropes of the job before they are asked to supervise it.
If you are working with less-motivated team members, this article provides some exercises that you can undertake. If you do this, and there is no fruit, in good faith move towards the exit option. Make a journal of the steps you took, for personal accountability, and also because some organizations require robust evidence when exiting a person.
I also want to end off by saying that you cannot please everyone – learning to face opposition graciously is a huge part of the leadership journey. You also need to take care of yourself and actively find support: bring in your boss to the process; hire a coach or ask a trusted advisor to walk with you for this season. Acknowledge your shortcomings and forgive yourself for them; it's a painful part of growing up but it will eventually set you free (of trying to be impossibly invincible).
Reach out and I'd be happy to chat more too: the advice above may be too blunt for your situation; or you may feel overwhelmed by the complex emotions that arise if you are a new manager, and perceive yourself to be failing at it. This is a topic close to my heart as I have been through this phase and am deeply empathetic to those of you going through it!
Just a comment on managing unmotivated team members – I've found Carol Dweck's work on the "growth mindset" helpful as a check on managing both high performing and unmotivated team members. As a team leader, having the growth mindset would mean not assigning the work only to the high performing members in order to deliver, but helping the unmotivated members shift their mental models from one that is fixed to one that seeks growth so that they can contribute as well. This would probably come in useful particularly in managing a team member whose personal vision is aligned with the organisation's but whose capacity falls short. Should add that all of this is framed first by seeing each team member as individuals with their own potential and not just a management issue.

Wakey wakey: All the news in 30 seconds

Rounding up the news, so you don't have to
3G iPhone: coming to a NZ store probably not near you
Wednesday, the day of Wednes, has crept up on us once more, looking a little like the pinnacle of the week's work before the long coast down to the weekend.
But if you are still looking for the best in procrastination news, then we have sought the hottest tech stories from the cities that never sleep (apart from when we're awake) for our overnight round-up.
Apple-tif
The existence of an Apple store in New Zealand could well cost true fanatics a pretty penny, with someone carrying a book of world times working out that the first 3G iPhone will actually be available in Auckland, Wellington AND Christchurch.
TechRadar is slightly suspicious that this is a flagrant attempt to only give those news agencies with three journalists the chance to capture the first buyer on film, so we'll be sticking to the London store where we expect to see the normal gaggle of students, bloggers and blogging students shivering in the rain and tssking at the ignorance of the mainstream media.
T-Mobile offering to match minutes
T-Mobile customers in the UK are being urged to say, 'Please sir, may I have some more minutes', as the company announces it will match any of its competitors' free minutes offers for those paying £30.
Jim Hyde, Chief Executive of T-Mobile said: "This guarantee underlines our commitment to providing unbeatable value for money and making life easier for our customers.
"Our research has shown that consumers are confused by the sheer number of price plans out there and they are frustrated by contracts which only offer short-term value.
"The launch of T-Mobile's minute guarantee cuts through all this noise and offers customers the confidence that they won't find more minutes at £30."
Germans nobble Gmail
We've been covering the long-running dispute over the name Gmail that has been going on in Germany, but, since Friday, the government has blocked the service in that country.
Those wishing to access their Gmail who go to Gmail.com are finding a screen saying: "We can't provide service under the Gmail name in Germany; we're called Google Mail here instead.
"If you're traveling in Germany, you can access your mail at http://mail.google.com. Oh, and we'd like to link the URL above, but we're not allowed to do that either. Bummer."
We doubt, somehow, that Google will respond by removing all German companies from its search index.

Sean Spicer straight-up walked out of a briefing today
Sam Barsanti

White House press secretary Sean Spicer is known to take behavioral cues from his boss, but that usually just comes through in his brash disregard for the members of the press he's briefing. Today, not long after Trump himself stormed out of an interview with CBS' John Dickerson, Spicer quietly snuck out of the White House press room while the media was talking to Office Of Management And Budget Director Mick Mulvaney. As the members of the press saw what he was doing and shouted his name so they could try and ask questions, he just kept walking and ignored them. You can see it happen in this short clip:
Now, to be fair to Spicer, his internal monologue is usually nothing but people screaming his name in frustration, so it does stand to reason that he might not have realized that anyone was trying to get his attention, but The Washington Post has a different theory. It thinks that Spicer's refusal to get on the podium has something to do with this idiotic nonsense Trump tweeted early this morning:
So, we don't know why Spicer refused to take questions during the briefing, but his boss did suggest that he'd like the entire government to shut down because he doesn't like it when things don't automatically go his way. Whatever his reasoning was, now he doesn't have to try and justify that dumb thing.

For Iranians, Donald Trump's announcement that he is withdrawing the US from the nuclear deal and reimposing sanctions, despite Iran's compliance with the deal, is deeply disappointing.
This is a manufactured crisis, and in making it, Washington and its allies in Tel Aviv and Riyadh have set their sights on a zero-sum option of containing and even forcing political change in the Islamic Republic.
This naive thinking reflects Washington's limited understanding of Iran and its internal politics as well as the deep regional divide between Iran and its Arab neighbours. So rather than address the principal challenge of Iran's regional meddling and the wider tensions in the Middle East in an initiative separate from the already functioning nuclear deal, Trump has unleashed a genie that will not so easily go back in its bottle. The consequences and challenges ahead are multiple.
First, the US withdrawal creates a transatlantic divide at a time when cooperation between Washington and its European allies is critical. Since January, France, Germany and the UK have scrambled to find solutions, albeit unsuccessfully, to placate Trump's concerns about the nuclear agreement. Trump's zero-sum decision, however, leaves the EU with little room for manoeuvre, either to save the deal or to create openings for new negotiations.
In the absence of either, a full-scale collapse of the deal will ultimately empower China and Russia. Both will capitalise on western paralysis in the Middle East by building strong economic and political ties not only with Iran, who will have no where else to turn, but also its neighbours that are already looking east.
But Trump has handed a unique opportunity to hardline political elites to build on Iranian frustration. Not only can the hardliners use the breakdown of the deal to establish unity among the divided elites, but they can also build bridges with the Iranian population after protests in January. The knock-on effects of conservative unity could even lead to a victory for a hardline candidate in the 2020 parliamentary elections and the 2021 presidential poll.
Moving beyond symbolic speeches, though, Iran has a hard task ahead that includes trying to maintain European, Russian and Chinese solidarity. Without that Tehran faces renewed economic isolation.
In the weeks ahead, Tehran will seek to pressure the EU in particular to defend the deal. If that defence does not materialise, though, Iran will gradually restart its nuclear programme. The wider consequence here is that other regional actors such as Saudi Arabia will also make similar moves accelerating the issue of regional nuclear proliferation.
The Middle East is a tinderbox of tensions as conflicts rage in Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon and Iran is the driver of much of this toxicity. Here too, the potential for a wider regional escalation is high. Israel remains rightly intent on preventing Tehran from gaining a significant foothold on the Syrian border. Yet, Iran has developed asymmetrical ties with militias and proxies affording it great opportunity to stir up trouble and demonstrate its leverage.
With these consequences in mind, it is clear that the Trump administration has miscalculated. While Trump is proud to have maintained his campaign promise to roll back the "worst deal ever", he does not yet realise that by doing so he will be breaking another – and the United States could yet again become embroiled in another Middle East war.

Meier was in India in 1964 and was interviewed in a well respected, credible publication.
The cross was widely seen by other people in the area, including two women who worked with Meier at the ashram helping to take care of animals, Mrs. Fiske and Mrs. Crystal Rogers, both of whom were actually present with Meier at the time this photo was taken. Mrs. Fiske was an English governess who came to India to teach the children of a maharaja. She then came to the ashram to teach Phobol, but this was not for very long, because she tried to force Phobol to become an English "Lady".

What's going on Halachically is that the house had a Chiyuv (Halachic requirement) for a Mezua when they affixed.
Then there was a period when it was Patur (Halachically exempt) from a Mezuza.
Then a Jew moves in and it once again has a Chiyuv.
I can think of 2 parallels - and they have contradictory answers.
A Sukkah is exempt from a Mezuza. However, if you have a room with a Mezuza and now morph it into a Sukkah, you do not have to reaffix the Mezuza after Sukkoth.
Note, however, that even during Sukkoth it still has a Chiyuv of Mezuza - and thus may not be a good parallel.
The Kitzur says in סימן יא - הלכות מזוזה that since (according to some opinions) you don't need a Mezuza unless the doorway has a door, therefore you have to install the door before you affix the Mezuza.
The באר היטב mentions in Shulchan Aruch סימן רפו - מקומות החיבים במזוזה that if one removes the door there are opinions that one has to re-affix the Mezuza when one hangs the door back in place.
Back to our case: Since a house that belongs to a non-Jew is exempt from a Mezuza, so you should have to re-affix the Mezuzot since at one point the house was the equivalent of doorless; i.e. Halachically Patur from a Mezuza.
P.S. As stated in Shulchan Aruch סימן רצא - מזוזה מתי נבדקת ומי חיב בה, when a Jew rents from a non-Jew he really should remove the Mezuzoth when he leaves - unless there's a reason to believe he will come to some (physical?) harm by removing them.
All the more so when he sells his house to a non-Jew.

St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a small plant with beautiful yellow flowers. It has a long history of human usage because of its mood-lifting effects. It's used to release tension and stimulate a more positive outlook.
To make an infusion, pour a cup of boiling water onto 1-2 teaspoons of the dried herb and let it steep for 10-15 minutes. Do not take more than three cups a day.
For specific therapeutic purposes, it may be better to use this herb in the form of capsules or tablets containing a standardized extract.
An incidental case of break through bleeding has been observed with the simultaneous use of St. John's wort and certain types of the birth control pill (the combination of ethinyloestradiol and desogestrel, also known as sub-50). When a break through bleeding occurs, it may result in reduced protection against pregnancy.

The Art Gallery at Rivier University will present "Every Color Has a Different Song," photographs by Lou Jones, through March 7.
The eclectic career of Lou Jones has spanned multiple photographic formats, film types, artistic movements, and technological developments. Maintaining a studio in Boston, he has produced work for Fortune 500 Corporations, National Geographic, and the Olympics, among many other clients. He has been the winner of prestigious accolades, including recognition from the International Photographic Council of the United Nations and The Griffin Museum of Photography's Focus Award. His fine art photography has been exhibited at Harvard University's Fogg Museum, the African American Museum in Philadelphia, Wellesley College, and other museums and universities throughout the world. Having served on the boards of directors of photographic organizations, societies, and museums, Jones has also contributed to the founding of the Center for Digital Imaging Arts at Boston University.
"As photographer Lou Jones might be identified as a proud citizen of the world, one who with great affection and visual acuity detects the deeper relationships between environments and their impact on the human experience," said Sr. Theresa Couture, Director of the Art Gallery at Rivier University.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a Gallery Talk by the artist on Thursday, Feb. 13 at 4 p.m., with an inclement weather date of Feb. 20.


After a reported plea bargain fell through, BP is preparing to defend itself in the federal civil trial beginning Feb. 25 regarding the 2010 Deepwater Horizon incident. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, and the proceeding is the first of at least two phases the court has set for the trial.
The first phase will be focused on the causes of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, who should be held responsible and to what degree. Judge Carl J Barbier will preside over the trial.
The court will determine the legal and factual issues at the heart of the case, including whether BP or any other party was grossly negligent.
Oil flow rate and quantification of barrels of oil spilled are issues that will be addressed in the second phase of the trial, which is scheduled to begin in September. As BP previously stated, although there is inherent uncertainty in this quantification, the company believes that the government's public estimate of 4.9 million barrels of oil released is at least 20 percent overstated.
Whatever the final number of barrels released from the reservoir is proven to be, BP does not believe that the 810,000 barrels of oil that the company successfully captured from the Macondo reservoir without it entering the Gulf of Mexico waters should be considered in the court's future determination of Clean Water Act penalties. Under the Clean Water Act, civil penalties are assessed only on oil that has actually entered the environment and potentially caused harm.
The U.S. Department of Justice has indicated that it agrees with BP's position on this issue. On the basis that the 4.9 million barrels figure includes an overestimate of at least 20 percent, and given that a further 810,000 barrels need to be deducted from the volume that flowed from the reservoir, BP believes that a figure of 3.1 million barrels should be the uppermost limit of the number of barrels spilled that should be used in calculating a Clean Water Act penalty.
Finally, the court has broad discretion to assess a per-barrel Clean Water Act penalty between zero and the statutory maximum. In deciding on the per-barrel fine, the court must consider not only the level of culpability, but also seven other statutory penalty factors. The intent behind the statute is to enable courts to account for the violating company's conduct following the violation where public policy merits such treatment. In practice, courts have historically awarded only a fraction of the statutory maximum penalty, generally choosing penalties that are far closer to zero than to the statutory maximum. Bondy said that the company's immediate actions following the oil spill should weigh in favor of the company receiving a penalty lower than the maximum.

The Prince of Pennsylvania is a 1988 comedy drama film written and directed by Ron Nyswaner. It stars Fred Ward, Keanu Reeves, Bonnie Bedelia and Amy Madigan. It premiered at the 1988 Toronto International  Film Festival (then the Toronto Festival of Festivals) on September 11, 1988, and received a limited release beginning September 16.

Plot
Rupert Marshetta is the black sheep son of a miner, precocious and misunderstood. He is frustrated with his parents, Gary and Pam, has dropped out of high school and doesn't fit in with the other teens in his town. Rupert is also in love with an older woman, the free-spirited Carla, who operates a run-down roadside ice cream kiosk. Carla also has a young daughter with her ex-boyfriend Joe, a state trooper.

One day Gary tells Rupert he sees himself as the king of Pennsylvania, his wife as the queen, and Rupert as the prince who will inherit his kingdom. Both father and son know that Pam has been sleeping with young miner Jack Sike, who has a newborn baby with his wife.

Gary owns land left by his father, but has no intention of selling it. An increasingly frustrated Rupert, who has no plans to follow his father into mining, schemes with Carla to kidnap his father for $200,000 (the amount the land is worth) and use the ransom money to escape the town and live together.

The duo successfully kidnap Gary and he is held in a trailer. He soon tells his mother, who agrees to go along, as Rupert says she can have half to money so she and Jack can abandon their families and run off together. However, Rupert and Pam learn that Gary sold the land for cash a week earlier, with no information as to where he put the money.

Rupert and Carla take Gary to the mine and held him near a portable toilet. Rupert eventually thinks the money has been hidden in the toilet, which is chained closed. He prepares dynamite to blow open the toilet, but mine rescue workers and police arrive on the scene warning that the mine's high levels of methane gas will trigger a massive explosion once the dynamite goes off. Although Gary is able to pull his son to safety, Carla is presumed dead in the blast.

The next day, Gary and Pam have reconciled. Rupert runs away, and is surprised to find that Carla is still alive, but only Joe knows; they, too, have reconciled, and are leaving for Sacramento to be closer to her daughter. A heartbroken Rupert hugs Carla goodbye and says he looks forward to meeting her daughter someday. After Carla and Joe drive away, Rupert walks along the road and encounters a lone female biker girl he befriended earlier; he accepts her offer of a ride to Pittsburgh.

Cast

 Fred Ward as Gary Marshetta
 Keanu Reeves as Rupert Marshetta
 Bonnie Bedelia as Pam Marshetta
 Jay O. Sanders as Trooper Joe
 Jeff Hayenga as Jack Sike
 Amy Madigan as Carla Headlee

In addition, Joseph de Lisi plays Rupert's younger brother, while Kari Keegan plays the biker girl.

Production
Thomas Newman wrote the music for the film. It was filmed in the coal mine suburbs surrounding Pittsburgh. The scenes for the high school dance were filmed at Chartiers Houston High School in Houston.

Reception

Critic Roger Ebert gave it 1.5 stars out of 4. Ebert liked the characters and thought them believable, but excoriated the plot as nonsensical and absurd, particularly the kidnapping scheme. His review concluded, "I had grown intrigued by the characters - especially Madigan's unreconstructed hippie, a woman with a lot of specific and believable details about her. A movie about her would have been interesting. A movie about any of these people might have had a chance, if the filmmakers had retained a shred of sanity."

So I was wondering if anyone had any good tips and tricks to use for the last question in Paper 3 for CIE A level Chemistry... Our school hasn't given us that much practice on it, and I am very nervous about it because it will definitely appear in the exam
Help would be appreciated, especially for identifying gases( apparently you aren't supposed to actually perform the gas identification tests???)
Thanks a million in advance

Thank you! I'm assuming you are also writing in MJ 2016?
My Name said:
Haha it's cool: you've responded now
But how do you know what gas it is without performing the test, especially for CO2 and H2 since those have no colour or smell?
Always write observations by looking at observations mentioned in the salt analysis data given at the back of the question paper. Find a close match to your observations from the sheet, and copy the same wordings of the observations given in the data sheet. There'll be rare cases when you'll be unable to find a match. In that case, write down whatever you see.
Moreover, always write proper bench reagents when you are asked to state certain reagents. Never write like H+1 or Cr2O7-2, rather write names of proper bench reagents like HCl(aq) or HNO3(aq) or K2Cr2O7 etc.
When you stir the boiling tube, don't let the stirrer touch or strike the bottom of the tube. Whenever heating let the tube give time to heat. First heat gently then strongly. Keep the tube oblique. This way your tube will never break. It's what my experience had taught me. When adding NaOH or NH3 for ion testing, add a few drops first (DO NOT ADD A DROPPER FULL OF REAGENT AT ONCE). Your eye must be close to the top level of the reagent in test tube. When a precipitate is observed, add the reagent in excess to almost ⅔ of the test tube. Don't use more than 1 cm3 of the reagent because it will have more precipitate which will take more NaOH or NH3 to dissolve; this can confuse you into thinking that ppt is insoluble.
Distinguishing between Pb+2 / Al+3 :
NaOH / NH3 reagents when used for identification of these ions give similar results (observations).
PbCl2, PbI2, PbSO4, PbCr2O7 or PbCrO4, is insoluble. Use the following reagents; HCl, KI, K2Cr2O7 or any other reagent that contains the ions mentioned above. The insolubility of the afore-mentioned lead compounds can help us distinguish between the Pb+2 and Al+3 ions.
Also, take care about other possible precipitates that might confuse your results. For example, BaCl2 (aq) contains Cl-1 and can be used to test for Pb+2 ions but the presence of Ba+2 ions makes precipitates of its own, so always use reagents which have Na+1, K+1, or H+1 ions which always make soluble compounds, reducing the possibility of any other precipitates, except for the precipitates formed by Pb+2.
Distinguishing between Ba+2 / NH4+1 :
Both give no precipitate with NaOH or NH3 except that NH3 is produced on warmind NH4+1 with NaOH. Ba+2 can be identified by H2SO4, it will give white precipitate.
Test for Manganese Mn+2
Mn+2 can identified with NH3 / NaOH. With these reagents, it has a white / pale brown ppt which turns brown when in contact with air and are insoluble in excess of the reagent. There would be brown residues floating on the top surface, and on the sides of the test tube, and white ppt/light brown ppt at the bottom.
Tests for Cu+2
With NaOH: pale blue ppt insoluble in excess.
With NH3: Blue ppt which dissolves and forms a dark blue solution in excess. It will be hard to dissolve the precipitate if too much Cu+2 are present in the test tube, so use very small quantity of Cu+2 (less than 1 cm3) or use a lot of NH3 (fill the entire test tube) and shake vigorously to dissolve this precipitate.
Problems with Al+3ions test with NaOH:
The precipitate formed by Al+3 is very soluble and disappears very quickly. Students can easily make the mistake of not noticing any precipitate, and writing down that no change occurred. Use a very tiny quantity of NaOH at first, just a few drops (put one drop, shake it lightly, then put another and so on), and a small white ppt will form floating on the surface of the solution, which would dissolve very quickly if a very small amount of NaOH is added.
The identification of the other cations and anions is easy. For them just refer to the salt analysis notes given at the end of the paper.
Identification of gases:
Whenever a gas evolves, there is some sort of effervescence (bubbles form) that occurs in the solution. Whenever you notice such a thing, just put your thumb on the top of the test-tube. If the pressure builds up, there'll be definitely some sort of gas evolving.
Now the things is that, how to identify them?
CO3-2 : If an acid is added, or is present in the test-tube and you see vigorous effervescence, then definitely it's CO2 that's evolving. If you have time, just to counter check, test it with lime water, it will definitely turn milky. Effervescence produced is similar to gas bubbles in coke. Generally produced when metal carbonates react with acids
NO2-1 : Whenever an acid is added, put your thumb top of the tube, and allow pressure to build up. The tube will turn pale brown and when you release your thumb and allow gas to escape, then a pale brown gas will release. If it occurs then definitely NO2-1 is present in the solution. This pale brown gas is also very visible if seen in front of a white back ground. The gas is especially very visible when the reactants are thrown in the white sink and you will notice brown vapors in the sink easily.
SO3-2 : Another gas that is produced on addition of dilute acids is SO2 which indicates the presence of SO3-2 ions. SO2 gas is colorless and acidic and is produced when dilute acid is added to sulfite SO3-2 ions. If a damp blue litmus paper is placed at the mouth of the tube, then it will turn red. Damp litmus paper must not touch the test tube itself as it might contain an acid. Note, that damp blue litmus paper will turn red when NO2 gas is produced but NO2 is pale brown and can be distinguished from SO2. Another test for SO2 gas is that it smells of rotten eggs or burnt matches. It can also be distinguished by dipping a paper in K2Cr2O7 and then placing it at the mouth of the test tube. This paper will turn from orange to green.
NO3-1, NO2-1 : To test for these ions, NaOH is added followed by the addition of Al foil and heated. When bubbles start to form (vigorous bubbling), put a damp red litmus paper near the mouth of the test-tube. NH3 is liberated if these ions are present, and it turns damp red litmus paper blue.
Always use damp red litmus paper, by making the litmus paper wet. Nothing happens if the litmus is damp! And make sure that the litmus paper never touches the test tube, because the test tube might contain an alkali which will turn the litmus paper blue. A lot of students make the mistake of allowing the litmus paper to touch the top of the test tube, and in many cases an alkali is present in the test tube which makes the litmus paper blue. So, keep the litmus paper a fair distance (1 cm) away from the test tube.
Students should be able to distinguish between a red litmus paper from a blue litmus paper. Red litmus paper is pale pink, and blue litmus paper is pale blue. Some students also make the mistake of using the cover paper of the litmus paper stack which is also pink (Avoid silly mistakes)
Identification for hydrogen ( H2 ) gas:
Metal + Acid ---> Salt + H2
Use the above equation to detect the hydrogen gas.
If you are adding metal, and a gas is produced, then you don't necessarily need to test for Hydrogen gas, if you see effervescence, then it is obviously hydrogen.
Just for confirming if you have time, test it. Hydrogen gas produces pop sound when burnt with a lighted splint. The only way it produces a pop sound when enough pressure is built up in the test tube. Put your thumb on top of the test tube and allow pressure to build up and only then light it.
NOTE: Always test for NH3 when the reagent is NaOH. This part of identification of NH3 (thus NH4+1) comes almost every time. So you must not neglect it. Also, you must be familiar with the smell of ammonia. This will save your time for testing. This is a pungent smell, but it doesn't feel that bad once you get used to it. Believe me now i really enjoy it's smell

Plot: Two female FBI agents, one who is dealing with sudden fame, team to save a kidnapped beauty queen and the pageant's emcee.
When her fame as Miss Congeniality ruins a FBI operation and her personal life suffers a major setback, FBI Agent Gracie Hart decides to throw herself into the career path of being the smiling face of the FBI. But then her best friend and winner of the Miss United States pageant is abducted suddenly along with William Shatner's character of the first film, Gracie decides she needs to solve the case and takes the investigation into her own hands with the help of a mean and scary looking female F.B.I. agent Sam Fuller (played by Regina King) A lame, predictable sequel with no Benjamin Bratt nor Michael Caine! This contrived comedy slides to the edges of boredom.
Even Bullock's cuteness can't save this piece of garbage.
FBI Agent "Gracie Hart" (Sandra Bullock) has been in the limelight after saving a beauty pageant winner's (Heather Burns) life. Now, she has been asked by her Chief (Ernie Hudson) to become the spokesperson of the FBI instead of putting her on a desk job to keep her away from the public that recognizes her every where -- including while on a case.
As part of her new entourage, she is given a very openly gay image consultant (Diedrich Bader) and "Sam Fuller" (Regina King), a fellow agent who has appeared on television "Hart" known for having a serious attitude problem.
The two agents do not get along, and now have got to reluctantly join forces to save the lives of the beauty queen and the pageant's emcee (William Shatner) after the two are kidnapped.

I've run into an issue where double sided materials are appearing black after I flipped some faces externally prior to baking.
I can see in the tmp directory that there are 4 lightmap .exr files, but editing them seems to have no effect. Is there any method of editing the lightmap externally in photoshop for example? I was thinking I could just replace the black parts with the lightmap from a backup project.
The .exr lightmaps are "raw" and not yet post-processed versions of lightmaps. After you edit them, you have to run post-processing again with the Post-process button in the Bake tab.
By the way. Is there any way to export the uv's so I can bake the lightmap externally?
I can see there in a buf file, but i'm not sure how to uncompress that.
The UV storage format is specific to Shapespark and to some optimizations that Shapespark applies to the 3D model, for example automatic instance detection and numeric quantization. So, the UVs cannot be imported to external 3D modelling tools.
Ahh ok thanks. I guess an option to export the full geometrically optimized scene with new uv's as fbx from shapespark would be the only solution then.
