Me and another player changed the guild last week on friday about 2 or 1 1/2 hours before the start of the guild competition.
We are aware that you have to wait 24 hours to participate in all guild activities.
When these 24 hours were over everything went smoothly even at the portal lords event we could join in and collect all the rewards.
However, only the progress rewards of the guild competition we have not received despite active participation after the cooldown.
Therefore, we ask ourselves what do you think, in this case, would it be possible to retrieve this progress rewards later? After all, points were also contributed to the competition, but only later. Generally we had read that it is possible to get something retrospectively. There were also people who were in a similar situation like us, but still got the progress rewards.
Or if you think this is not possible. Would a kind of compensation be possible in this particular case? Although we did get the rank rewards in the end, we were left empty handed on the other rewards.
I have already mentioned it with the support and there it was said that this was supposedly not possible.
But again, there were cases where it was not a problem. That's why I wanted to ask here in the forum what the opinion of the community is ^^.
Yes, it is true that we joined our new guild before the start of the contest. This can be enough people related and that can also look per blue. So that's why we think we have a right to it. after all, we also put some torches in this competition ^^. Unfortunately, this was only possible after the 24 hours. In other words, we have not collected any rewards in the old guild before.
excuse me that can not be. We find the same right for all ^^.
As was explained to your guild rep in the leader chat, guilds have a 24hour cool down / lock out period.
Any and all rewards earned by the guild in that time, you are ineligible for.
That's true for all of it.
I have no idea what turtle is talking about, or why they are confusing this issue.
This is a known mechanism to avoid people jumping from guild to guild to collect rewards or help with fortress or wars or portal lords etc.
I am sorry for you that you missed out on rewards, particularly as they were very good rewards.
However, to anyone reading this thread.
Don't change guilds just before a contest.
Just realise that it really isn't going to make any difference.
The nice person (presumably sammsquamch) has already told you how it is.
What we all think about it is irrelevant.
If this 24 hour lockout was lifted, people could theoretically jump between guild to guild (working out timings in advance) and collect the progress rewards multiple times over.
The same people complaining that this is unfair, would be complaining about that.
I'm mainly ranting here, because my support ticket that I submitted this morning has been dealt with, and I am not happy with the outcome.
We know that they were told as well.
However, it is true that some have received the progress rewards and others, now us, have not. That's why we either think all or none.
Therefore, we wanted to ask again here how the community sees it. There's nothing wrong with that. Does not hurt anyone ^^. You can try it. Maybe there are others who have experienced something like that and can report about it.
With us it is a special case. We would not open a thread for every little thing. But here we already find that you can do it. Above all, we have already read that it is possible or perblue sometimes has already sent compensation.
There are always possibilities to change or move something. There are plenty of mobile games where in such cases the developers are much more accommodating and take care of the community. We do not demand anything extremely illogical or what would not be fair to other people ;).
At least that's our opinion and how we've already experienced it.
At war, fortress it's a different matter. Because there is no right to participate even after 24 hours. However not at a contest or Portal Lords that go several days.
Please think logically about this .
At Portal Lords you do a quest after the cooldown and can collect everything afterwards. Also, the things that the old guild has already unlocked, and there you can also collect previous and not just the new what the new guild has unlocked new.
At the contest, you make 1 million points and do not get the progress rewards. While others in the guild get them even though they scored 0 points.
In addition, we can not understand why Portal Lords and Contest have done differently. One is retroactive, the other is not. This is slightly contradictory for us.
In the end, it was not known, because such information is nowhere. When it comes to Portal Lords, you think it's the same with the contest. As I said, the contest not even started. That's why we think they stand by us. We have made our contribution after the cooldown.
So you can not collect several times. It have to be so regulated that this is possible only once in the event. That goes with Portal Lords too, so why not at a contest ;). One should already set up rules, which are also comprehensible.
That's why you have no advantage and can take what you do not deserve. That would have to be the case, if it would not give this lock, now referring to the contest.
We do not want to start a discussion here, but it's human that you do not want to put up with such incomprehensible behavior ^^.
Have we misunderstood you? Because for us you have described it so that we would be entitled to the rewards. That's why we answered you accordingly .
Maybe it came to the misunderstanding, since I'm from Germany as you can see on the screenshot.
But you say some got their rewards.
do you have any reliable sources?
Link to posts about it?
This information can be found here in the forum and from other players. There were already people who had similar problems. We do not just say that and as I said, you can always ask. In other games has ever brought something ^^. No matter if it brings something or not, this "regulation" is not really thought out. But there are enough people who let anything happen with them without questioning it.
Things can always change. It's obviously no guarantee, but don't give up hope.
Some other companies might give something, who knows.

Candidates file papers with GAB
April 10, 2012 By Jackie Johnson

All four Democratic candidates for governor in the recall election file their nomination papers.
Tom Barrett's wife, Kris, delivers signatures to the Government Accountability Board on behalf of the Milwaukee mayor. She tells reporters she's not worried about recent attacks on her husband coming from AFSCME — one of the nation's largest public-employee labor unions. "No, I think that there's a lot of people who see Tom as a leader and that they know he's supports their rights and the right to collectively bargain and he will represent them."
Former Lieutenant Gov. Barbara Lawton helps drop off some 7,000 signatures on behalf of Barrett's campaign, although the GAB only accepted 4,000. Lawton is a longtime supporter of women's issues, advocate of electing more women to political office, and critic of the Republican agenda of attacking women.
She had supported former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk in the past, but is behind Barrett in this race. "Today I am endorsing Tom Barrett because I trust that he will carry that banner on our behalf as governor." Lawton says Barrett is the candidate with the leadership, integrity, and statesmanship the state needs to restore dignity to Wisconsin politics.
Meanwhile, Falk was the first to file today; she turned in 4,000 signatures and discussed her endorsements. "I've earned the endorsement of every single organization that has endorsed against Governor Scott Walker … I'm very inspired and honored by that."
Secretary of State Doug La Follette turned in, he says, 3,331 signatures. How will he gain enough support, considering he's trailing in the polls against his competition? "Well that was a very old poll before I had even announced, and my pollster said it wasn't a very good poll. So let's see what happens now."
La Follette says the final poll is on Election Day; he's got name recognition, he says, and strong support from Democrats, Republicans, and Independents; he can win without big money and attack TV ads. "People know me; I'm a known quantity."
Kathleen Vinehout (D-Alma) turned in 3,300 signatures — enough to put her name on the ballet. The Eau Claire-area senator says voters should support her if they don't like money in politics and if they don't like being told who they should vote for.
As for the lieutenant governor's race, Mahlon Mitchell submitted 4,000 signatures. Mitchell, the president of the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin, says he's not deterred by a recent push from the Republican Lieutenant Governors Association to support Kleefisch.
Mitchell explains why he wants to get Rebecca Kleefisch out of office even though he says it's the governor making all the controversial decisions. "Well, I think she's been a rubber stamp to Governor Walker. She hasn't stepped out to say that she doesn't agree with Governor Walker." He says she's just one heart beat away from the governorship so her job "is very relevant, very important."
Candidates were required to submit at least 2,000 signatures, but no more than 4,000 by 5:00 pm.
The Republican Party of Wisconsin issued a statement regarding today's filing deadline for candidates: "Today protest candidates turned in the required number of signatures to appear on the ballot in all six recall elections. Their candidacy will ensure election fairness going forward and guarantee there is one primary and general election date for all candidates."
Two people filed as Republicans to run in a primary with Governor Walker, who blames "out-of-state special interests" and "the big government union bosses in Washington" for driving the recall effort.
The primary is May 8th, and Walker said he had no preference who he'll face on June 5th for the general election. He says the challenger is secondary to the big money going into the race from the unions out of state.
The GAB lists all candidates registered on their website.

Omar is a Palestinian baker in a divided territory, accustomed to crossing the separation barrier of the West Bank, dodging surveillance and the occasional bullet, so that he might see Nadia, the woman he loves. He keeps the romance a secret from his close friends Amjad and Tarek, particularly as Tarek is Nadia's brother. Tarek is increasingly frustrated and angry about the way they are treated by the Israeli authorities, and advocates militancy.

It was alleged that the police took no action against the miscreants.
The protest against the desecration of Durga Mandir in Hauz Qazi, Delhi at the beginning of this month has taken a national turn. A peaceful protest against the temple vandalism was organised under the leadership of Hindu organisations on July 5 in Dehradun, Uttarakhand.
This peaceful protest had turned violent when a Muslim mob intercepted the procession and started mercilessly beating up the Hindus who were participating in the rally near the Inamulla building in Dehradun. The tension escalated when the police forcefully stopped the activists of the Hindu organisations, who were moving towards the building after they got the information of the incident. It was alleged that the police took no action against the miscreants.
Young activists of the Hindu organisation were beaten up by local Muslim mob near the Inamulla building, which is predominantly a Muslim dominated area. Tensions in the city prevailed throughout the day due to the controversy. The Muslims reportedly shouted provocative slogans, which the Hindu activists objected to. The peaceful rally which was named 'pratirodh rally'(resistance rally) by the Hindu activists, turned unruly, as Muslim mob attacked the children and the elderly people participating in the rally. Apart from the violence, the mob also chanted slogans like 'Allahu Akbar'.
Though this incident occurred two days earlier, the locals are still scared to talk about the incident. Few locals have alleged that contrary to what transpired, the police have lodged a complaint against the Hindus, who were actually at the receiving end. An activist named Rohit Maurya while speaking to OpIndia gave us snippets of the incident.
Rohit told our reporter that the incident transpired on July 5, when a mob of Muslims attacked the group of Hindu activists who were moving towards the parade ground to organise a peaceful rally against the Hauz Qazi temple vandalism and the killing of a Hindu youth in Uttrakhand by a Muslim man.
"Here an atmosphere of fear has arisen. A cleric named Qazi Riaz, in his statement, has said that if the Muslims are given a free hand they can go on a killing spree all over the country, we are here to oppose this sentiment of the Muslims", said Rohit.
While speaking to us, Rohit blamed the police for whatever transpired. He alleged that the police were biased. "Despite having proper permission to carry out the rally, we were stopped by the police", claimed Rohit. "Small children were also not spared, just because they were carrying saffron flags in their hands", said Rohit, claiming that the police instead of apprehending the culprits have lodged complaints against the victims.
Opindia gathered videos wherein the Muslim mob can be seen attacking the Hindus near the Inamulla building in Dehradun. In the video, it can be clearly seen how the Muslim mob are pelting stones and using provocative slogans to incite the Hindus.
Opindia got in touch with some locals of the area. Most of the people are scared of talking about the incident. They fear that if they divulge any information and people come to know, they might be socially and economically boycotted from the area.
However, after talking to many people, what could be established was that the police are hesitant to take any sort of action against the Muslims in that area.
Moreover, talking about the video, Rohit furthered that though it can be clearly seen how the mob used screwdrivers, saws and knives to attack the Hindus, not even sparing the children. He alleged that the police stood like mute spectators and did not take an action against the mob. Rohit also alleged that the police is actually afraid to take action against the mob because they are afraid of the mob themselves.
He also accused the police of not letting them submit a memorandum to the district magistrate.
Another social activist also confirmed that the police are scared to act against such a mob which is why the anti-social elements in the area get a free hand to do whatever they want to. Though there have been many incidents in the past where miscreants were found guilty, the police have failed to take any action against them, alleged the social worker.
Though Uttarakhand CM, Trivender Singh Rawat has assured that no one would be permitted to take the law and order in their hands, the Hindu's around the Inamulla building live in constant threat.
Unfortunately, this deplorable incident has not got enough media coverage. It is being believed that the media is also sceptical of delving into the issue because it may not further the narrative it is building.
However, what is disconcerting is that though everything is out in the open, the administration and the police do not seem to be taking appropriate action. The Hindus who are actually the victims of mob violence here are being projected as the culprits.
Nevertheless, the questions such vexing incidents evoke are: For how long will this apathy towards the Hindus last? For how long will a selective section of media smoke-screen such incident where Hindus are the ones facing the wrath? Until when will the Hindus be at the receiving end? Will the Hindu community be ever allowed to talk about their rights without it being given a 'communal twist'? There remain many questions unanswered.


2002 K11 full cvt change/flush procedure?
Hi, sorry if this has been covered but I couldn't find the specific answer with a search.
I have a 2002 K11 with a CVT box, it's done nearly 120k now, and had a CVT flush from a local garage around the 60k mark, but now it's started whining when warm and being generally slugish, so I think it's time for a clean up.
There is a small leak on the gearbox (coming from the oil filter which will be changed too) so it's been continuously topped up with Dextron III for the last 4 years (I did drain it once and refill too about 2 years ago), but now I have got 5L of NS1 so want to do a full change, too tight to pay the dealer who charged £390 last time.
I understand the sump only contains about half the oil, so my question is how do you get the remainder out DIY style? I had to change the radiator last year so know there's a cooler system built into that, do you disconnect one of those hoses and drain it until the new fluid runs through? If so which one is the "out" from the gearbox? (I would assume it's the hose that connects to the bottom of the CVT housing, is that right?).
Sorry to be a pain but we've had this car since new and it's like a member of the family, the wife is a bit scared to drive it now because of the whine (usually does it when warm and pulling away from a standstill, doesn't do it while cruising) and I'm a strong believer in not fixing what's not broke but the Mrs is insistent (you know, happy wife, happy life) so I'm just looking for a bit of guidance on how to complete it, any ideas on the whine too? To my untrained ear it souldn't like a bearing.
Or... is it safe just to drain the sump and top it up with NS-1? Will the Dextron III & NS-1 work together OK?
Just to follow up incase someone else experiences this, I drained 3 litres out the cvt drain plug, put 3 litres back in through the dipstick, then disconnected the bottom pipe from the gearbox sump (the one that connects on the other end to the bottom of the radiator - oh and put your finger over the pipe sticking out the sump otherwise the new oil will drain out), put the pipe into a 1 litre milk bottle and got the Mrs to start the engine, waited until a litre had been pumped out, yelled at her to stop, put pipe back on, put 1 litre of new fluid back into the gearbox, repeated again (this gearbox takes 5 litres) and just around the point where it was almost 1 litre pumped out again, the fluid turned from a dark brown to bright red, so I stopped there and put the last litre in the box, bolted everything back together and all is good.
The whine is still there but no where near as noticeable, I suspect a bearing has been permanently damaged, now though she has her mojo back and it's like driving a new car. Took us a couple of hours to complete, no way in hell I'd ever take a car to a garage and pay the £400 +VAT I was quoted for it this time again.
Hi mate thanks for posting this, but how come you can't just drain 2 litres instead of 1 litre at a time?


Super excited to be one of the blogs hosting Caroline Mitchell's 'Murder Game' today! I am so thrilled that I am able to share my review with you all. Thank you to Bookouture for the blog blitz invite as well as the ARC of 'Murder Game'. Enjoy!
How on EARTH do I write a review to do this book any sort of justice?!
We are back joining Detective Ruby Preston as she investigates the murders of multiple women. All the murders seem to have something in common and, according to one of Ruby's colleagues, the current investigation is sounding all too familiar. Given that the previous killer is growing old disgracefully behind bars, there is a slim chance of him committing the murders himself. But, as the clock starts ticking even loudly, even more lives are in the balance.
Is it weird of me to say that the further into the investigation details I got, the more engrossed I became? It felt like the more gross the image was painted, the quicker I seemed to turn the page. I was hooked on absolutely everything from Ruby's personal life to her relationship with her colleague, to the murder investigation to the man in prison. Of course certain parts of the book did ignite slight nausea but my curiosity got the better of me, naturally.
As always, I tried to piece the jigsaw pieces together to come up with my own conclusion as to who the murderer was and, up until three-quarters of the way through, I was absolutely convinced I had nailed it. Well, if I was in the police force right now, i would have nicked the wrong person. As for who the finger was pointed to in the end made me drop my jaw in shock. Was I expecting it? Was I heck!! I was pretty much looking everywhere but.
I really don't want to give anything away so I'm trying to keep this brief! All I want to do is go 'OMG YOU JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU READ THE PART WHERE…..', but I don't want Bookouture to put me on the naughty step or ruin the authors hard work. And by golly has Caroline Mitchell worked hard with this book! The entire storyline is so cleverly written! Not only did the story contain (in my eyes) multiple red herrings, every situation, circumstance and new pieces of information just flowed like a waterfall. There were no stagnant pauses, no creating characters just to fill up space, no slow areas for me to sit and twiddle my thumbs. Nothing like that at all. Instead the storyline was fast paced, full of grit, full of suspense and multiple shocking moments.
If someone asked me to find something about 'Murder Game' that I disliked – hand on heart I would reply with 'absolutely nothing'. Honestly. Caroline Mitchell has written an explosive, highly intense, addictive and utterly shocking novel which kept me on my toes from the very first page. THIS is the type of novel which ticks every single one of boxes, including boxes I never knew existed.
Highly recommended. This author is an absolute genius.
Wow, thanks for this amazing review, I'm so pleased you enjoyed it!
Aw thanks! Oh it really is!

SK Energy to Challenge LG Chem in Batteries
By Kim Yoo-chul
SK Energy has been chosen as the maker to supply car batteries to Daimler AG's Japanese unit Mitsubishi Fuso Truck & Bus Corp.
This means that the nation's biggest oil refiner has finally joined the ranks of LG Chem and Samsung SDI in the fierce competition to become the leader in the car batteries market.
"Our company was selected to supply lithium-ion batteries to Mitsubishi Fuso's gasoline-electric vehicles Saturday," it said in a press release Sunday, without providing detailed financial terms.
"The agreement will help SK Energy participate in various hybrid and electric vehicle projects of Daimler as a preferred supplier."
According to industry watchers and analysts, SK Energy is seeking other opportunities to have further partnerships with other world-leading automotive companies such as Mercedes-Benz, although SK spokesmen declined to comment.
Germany-based Daimler owns 85 percent of Fuso, with the remainder held by companies in the Mitsubishi group. Mitsubishi Fuso is Asia's top large-sized vehicle manufacturer, selling some 190,000 buses and trucks as of the end of 2007, officials say.
The latest deal came among eco-friendliness sweeping through the global auto industry thanks to states' active support for greener technologies and consumers' increased awareness.
Driving it forward are batteries that are emerging as a new power source for hybrid and electric cars, replacing gasoline engines.
This move has spawned a big market which everyone wants a piece of. Currently, South Korea's LG Chem and Samsung SDI have a large stake in the global car batteries market.
LG Chem will supply its lithium-ion batteries to the upcoming General Motors' Volt hybrid cars, the first of its models to use electricity as a main power source.
LG Chem has also struck a partnership with Buick for the latter's sports utility vehicles, and plans to provide rechargeable batteries to CT&T for neighborhood electric vehicles.
Samsung SDI is also working to supply its batteries to BMW's electric cars next year via a joint venture with Bosch called "SB LiMotive."
"The competition for the leadership in supplying lithium-ion batteries used in cars spurred by SK Energy's recent deal is getting fiercer and fiercer," Ahn Sang-hee, an analyst at Daishin Securities, said.

Guide to getting your game design degree online
What is a Concept Artist in Video Game Design?
Gamers who enjoy entering the virtual video game worlds probably don't give a thought to the work of the concept artist in video game design, and that is a tribute to the proficiency of these professionals. Concept art is a highly-creative field that requires abilities and knowledge in the fine arts as well as a strong computer skill set. Those virtual worlds with their unique topography and natural laws, along with the characters that inhabit them, involve the work of many artists and animators, but they begin as an idea in the mind of the concept designer.
Definition of Concept Art
Concept art is an illustration that conveys an idea for films, video games, animation, comic books or other media before it is put into the final product. The art is also called visual development or concept design. The term was coined in the first half of the twentieth century, perhaps by automobile designers bringing out "concept cars," and it was used as early as the 1930s by the Disney Studios.
What the Artists Do
Although these professionals must be skilled and talented artists in the traditional media of oils, watercolors, markers and pencils, technology also requires them to be studied computer experts. In Disney's early days, the concept developers created their images on paper with traditional materials and, once they were approved, the images were refined and cleaned up by other artists. This is still true today; the first images are put onto paper, but the concept developer soon transfers his ideas to the computer. Digital painting programs and graphic tablets make it possible to achieve stronger, cleaner lines and smoother color transitions. These images are used not only in the development process for the images, but in demonstrating development progress to investors, editors, producers and clients. The work is done in stages, with each stage being more refined than the previous one. An article in Computer Science for Fun is quoted as saying one frame of a complex Pixar production can take a single computer up to 90 hours to interpret. Concept art for video games differs in that the artist uses his imagination to create characters and environments that fit the proposed game requirements and give the game a unique "feel" and "look" that make it seem plausible to people playing it. The most popular themes are fantasy and sci-fi, but sports video games also require lifelike characters. Sometimes characters must look like the professional players they represent.
Becoming a Concept Developer
While there are some openings at the associate degree level, most employers require a bachelor's degree in fine arts and some computer curriculum, according to Animation Career Review. Experience is also helpful in landing a job and the website recommends completing several internships in college while getting your degree. Usually at least three years' experience is desired. Depending upon education and experience, these artists can earn a median salary of $44,850. Salary also depends upon the geographical area where developers work and on the industry that employs them.

When someone has an idea for a new video game, or any product, words only accomplish so much in describing it to the investors or to the corporations that may produce it. The old axiom that a picture is worth a thousand words certainly applies in this case. Though it takes many steps by many artists and animators to bring a video game character to life, the spark that energizes and excites producers begins with the concept artist in video game design.

Coalition partner's popularity drop evident as Labour widens margin of victory in contest for empty parliamentary seat.
Britain's Labour party has comfortably won a contest for an empty parliamentary seat in a result that reflected the Liberal Democrats' fall from favour since joining a Conservative-led government in May.
Opposition Labour's Debbie Abrahams won 14,718 votes on Friday in the marginal Oldham East and Saddleworth constituency - 3,558 more than closest rival, Lib Dem Elwyn Watkins. In May's election, Labour beat the Lib Dems to the seat by just 103 votes.
The Lib Dems have had a tough time since signing up to Britain's first coalition government since the second world war, freefalling in opinion polls and facing stern criticism for backing austerity cuts they had once passionately opposed.
While one defeat will not cripple the centre-left Lib Dems nor the coalition, it is a boost for Labour's new leader Ed Miliband and will spur critics of Nick Clegg, the deputy prime minister, whose popularity has fallen since he entered office.
Many Lib Dem voters worry that government spending cuts and tax rises are unfairly targeting the poor. Some feel betrayed by Clegg who, up until forming a coalition government, had opposed the Conservative approach of cutting the budget deficit swiftly.
The by-election in Oldham East and Saddleworth - the first ballot-box test for the coalition - was called after a Labour politician was ousted after being found guilty of smearing his Lib Dem rival in the 2010 election.
With the contest pitting the two governing parties against each other, there were reports that David Cameron, the Conservative prime minister, had scaled back his own party's campaign to help out his Lib Dem allies and take pressure off Clegg.
Kashif Ali, the Conservative candidate, secured just 4,481 votes, more than 7,000 less than his 2010 election score.
With Europe embroiled in a sovereign debt crisis, financial markets are on alert for signs of instability within Britain's coalition, as a secure government is seen as crucial to executing a plan to effectively wipe out a record budget deficit by 2015.

The north east hub met with members of St James church to discuss how they have considered "refreshing". Tim Griffiths (former miner, teacher and God mate of mine -pardon the pun) gave a potted history of why and how they needed to refresh their church. This was followed by accounts from the church warden (who was very passionate about their dementia cafe) and other members sharing about bereavement support, praying with those in care homes, working with children within the community, fundraising through putting on concerts (yes, FINANCE) and someone keeping their eye on the ship to maintain focus.
A short question and answer time followed to clarify how things got started and what pitfalls to look out for. What was obvious was that Jesus was at the centre of these activities, it was led by God's call and that there was a need for prayer. No one of these people were experts, they just reacted to God's call in their lives, their church, their community. We in the north east hub were grateful of their presentation and hope that we can do our bit in a similar way with that same passion. Thank you all.

Lucky Iris – 'Speak Soon'
Lucky Iris are an alt pop duo who have put their own personal spin on the resurgence of electro-acoustic music, resulting in the production of a set on intimate silky tunes with a fresh aesthetic.
The single is a little over 2 minutes of smooth jazzy vocals along with the brilliant instrumentals which makes this EP a joy to listen to, the track has been recorded really well and shows off the duo's talent brilliantly. It's a great single which you can tell has been put together with a lot of care and attention to detail.
This single will have you tapping along as you sit listening to this incredibly catchy track. It quickly builds and before you know it, the chorus that will no doubt be stuck in your head after hearing it for the first time which is a basic guarantee for any track created by Lucky Iris.
This single has such a catchy and unique sound you can't help but fall in love with, for me this single had my full attention from the very beginning, its full of raw energy and a ridiculous amount of talent and I just loved everything about it which is why it's made it to my playlist.

Q: Distance between two compact sets in a Riemannian space. I know that given a Riemannian manifold $M$ and two closed submanifolds $N_1$ and $N_2$ of it, if one of $N_1$ and $N_2$ is compact, then there exists a geodesic which minimizes the distance between $N_1$ and $N_2$.
Now the question is that if $N_1$ and $N_2$ are compact subsets one can guarantee that there exists a geodesic which minimizes the distance between $N_1$ and $N_2$?
I appreciate any comments in advance!

A: You need to assume that $M$ is (geodesically) complete for this to be true in general (this is already true for your introductory statement).
Apart from that: yes, that's true. Since both sets are compact and the distance is continuous the distance is realized in two points $p_i \in N_i$ (i.e. $d(N_1, N_2) = d(p_1, p_2)$). Now just join $p_1$ and $p_2$ with a geodesic.

In the [Getting Started](evil-eval) tutorial, we built an `eval` command which allowed users to execute arbitrary JavaScript on our bot. We also implemented a command whitelist using middleware so that only trusted users can access the `eval` command. While this works, there's nothing to actually stop a user from executing malicious code and causing serious problems.

With this in mind, we're going to want to sandbox our script's execution as much as possible. To do this, we can take advantage of the [vm2](https://github.com/patriksimek/vm2) library.

## Sandboxing eval()
To start, let's install vm2.

```bash
npm install --save vm2
```

Now we can import the `VM` class and create a VM environment to run our code in.

```js
const { Constants, RichEmbed } = require('discord.js');
const { VM } = require('vm2');
const { inspect } = require('util');

function evilEval() {
  async function handler({ args, formatter, message }) {
    const { codeBlock } = formatter;
    const vm = new VM();
    const embed = new RichEmbed();

    embed.setTitle('EVAL').setAuthor(message.author.username, message.author.avatarURL);

    const start = Date.now();

    try {
      // run inside a VM context and limit what the code can access
      const result = vm.run(args.code);
      const end = Date.now();

      embed.setDescription(`Finished evaluating in ${end - start} ms.`)
        .setColor(Constants.Colors.GREEN)
        .addField('INPUT', codeBlock(args.code, 'js'))
        .addField('RESULT', codeBlock(inspect(result), 'js'));
    } catch (error) {
      const end = Date.now();

      embed.setDescription(`Finished evaluating in ${end - start} ms.`)
        .setColor(Constants.Colors.RED)
        .addField('INPUT', codeBlock(args.code, 'js'))
        .addField('ERROR', codeBlock(error, 'js'));
    }

    return embed;
  }

  return {
    handler,
    triggers: ['eval'],
    parameters: ['code...'],
  };
}
```

Now we won't leak any of our sensitive variables to the evaluated code and at the same time it'll still have access to basic globals like `Math`. However, there's still a problem. What if someone sneaks in an infinite loop, in the manner of `while (true) {}`? We'll protect against this by specifying an execution timeout.

```js
// if the code doesn't finish running in 5 seconds, we'll get an error
const vm = new VM({ timeout: 5000 });
```

Антоний Олещинский (; 16 января 1794, Красныстав — 28 февраля 1879, Париж) — польский художник-график, известный мастер польской портретной резцовой гравюры XIX века.

Биография
Родился в семье мирового судьи в Красноставе. Известными художниками были два его младших брата — литограф и иллюстратор Северин (1801—1876) и скульптор и график Владислав (1807—1866) Олещинские.

Служа в Варшаве, в канцелярии государственного совета Царства Польского, поднёс в 1816 императору Александру I образцы своего каллиграфического искусства, вследствие чего, по Высочайшему повелению, был определен на казённый счет в воспитанники Санкт-Петербургской Императорской Академии художеств.

В 1817—1824 изучал искусство гравирования. Талантливый ученик крупнейшего русского гравёра, профессора Н. И. Уткина.

В 1819 и 1820 гг. получил малую и большую серебряные медали, в 1824 г., при окончании академического курса, был награждён малой золотой медалью за портрет А. Кокоринова, выгравированный с оригинала Д. Левицкого.

Будучи вслед затем отправлен для своего усовершенствования за границу, в качестве пенсионера Российской империи, с 1825 работал в Париже под руководством Ж. Т. Ришома и Ж. Б. Рено. После четырех лет проведенных во Франции, переехал во Флоренцию. В 1832 последовало повеление императора Николая I определить его на службу в Императорскую академию художеств, но А. Олещинский предпочёл остаться в Париже, где и прожил до конца своих дней, не переставая усердно работать резцом и иглой, а в последние годы своей жизни занимаясь также керамической живописью.

Творчество
Автор большого количества медеритов и гравюр на металле, графических работ. Он гравировал портреты, пейзажи, исторические и бытовые, почти исключительно, польские сюжеты.

В Париже много гравировал для издания Л. Ходзько и Грабовского — «Pologne illustrée».

Сперва он издавал свои работы отдельными листами, а потом подготовил и опубликовал 2 альбома-сборника своей графики — «Польское разнообразие» (Париж, 1832—1833) и «Воспоминания о поляках, ставшими известными в чужих и далеких странах» (Париж, 1843). Участвовал в иллюстрировании и издании книги «Dzieje narodu polskiego» .

Как сказано в «Энциклопедическом словаре Брокгауза и Ефрона», в отношении плодовитости, оригинальности, блеска и изящества резца, он не только не уступал своему учителю, Н. Уткину, но иногда и превосходил его.

Особенно удачны у него виньетки и мелкие картинки с заставками из польских рукописей, с замками различного стиля и с фантастическими фонами. Перечень его работ помещён в сочинении Д. А. Ровинского: «Подробный словарь русских граверов» (., 1895).

Mae Dorricott
It all began with her visits to the Malaysian coast line to see her mother's family. From a young age, Mae would be thrown into the water by her aunts and uncles with a mask and snorkel on and from there it grew exponentially. When she found out that SCUBA diving was something people did, she could hardly wait to turn 12 and complete her open water qualification. She and her father, also an avid diver, dipped underneath the waves of the British sea as often as possible. Thus began the snowballing passion to explore the underwater realm.
It became apparent that this wasn't to be just a hobby, but rather something worth pursuing as a career. There was nothing that caught Mae's desire more than to be near the sea. She was able to dive with marine biologists with the UK project SeaSearch, volunteering to help catalogue the diversity and abundance of British marine life. Meeting "real life" marine biologists fuelled Mae's need to understand and study this incredible blue world.
Once 18, Mae flew to Mexico to partake in a conservation programme and dive master internship with Global Vision International. During the first half of the programme she learnt how to survey the health of the reef, identifying and monitoring the corals along with turtles and other mega fauna. Next, she completed her dive master internship in a dive shop in the little town of Mahahual. She decided that home wasn't quite in the cards yet, opting instead to train new volunteers back at the conservation base until she had to return to England for University.
Back in England, Mae had a fire to complete her degree at Plymouth University, earning a 1st Class Honour in Marine Biology (BSc) as well as completing an HSE commercial diver course alongside an academic module in scientific diving. She fully enjoyed her undergraduate degree and her final dissertation project, which focused on the effects chemicals leached out of plastics have on behaviour and embryonic development.
Mae, 22, is interested in the avenue of scientific communication, an area she first encountered during her time in Plymouth when she worked at The National Marine Aquarium as a host. The task of bridging the gap between the latest science and the public and trying to generate dialogue is the area Mae is now most interested in pursuing, resulting in her current undertaking of a Masters in Scientific Communication. The opportunity provided by the OWUSS as the European Rolex Scholar is a phenomenal chance for Mae to try and capture a snapshot of what is out there, and help her achieve her dream of reconnecting others back to the sea.

Q: 3 small images over big image with resizing enabled for all? Iphone i have to make an offline map with icons but i will use images instead of maps because I don't know if there's any offline map code i can use available ?
Anyway, I wil use background image which is image of the map. Then I wanna add small ballon images over it. the Question is How can I apply scroll view or any code you know for applying maximize and minimize for all of them at the same time ??? or if you have a better idea can you please suggest it?
Thanks,
Dalal

A: Check out this post for tiling images efficiently on an iOS device.
Also see the Scrolling sample from Apple.

A: My guess is that you'd have the balloons be subviews of the map's UIImageView, then subclass the UIImageView for the map and implement your own layoutSubviews method (layoutSubviews being a method of superclass UIView).  In that method you read the map view's size and resize/relocate the balloons accordingly.

Chris Watts' Chilling Triple-Murder Confession: 'I Didn't Want to Do This, But I Did It'
Chris Watts told Colorado investigators "he felt like someone else had control over him" during the murders
By Chris Harris
In a calm voice, Chris Watts slowly described for investigators what happened the night of August 13, 2018, when he strangled his pregnant wife and then smothered his two daughters using the youngest one's blanket.
Colorado Bureau of Investigation officials interviewed Watts, 33, in a Wisconsin prison, questioning him on the killings of his 34-year-old wife Shanann and the couple's daughters, Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3.
Watts told the investigators "he felt like someone else had control over him" the day he killed his family, and that "he wasn't able to fight back," according to a report by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, released to the press Thursday.
During his confession, Watts describes how he and Shanann had sex after she returned from a business trip to Arizona. Hours later, the pair had a fight during which he confessed his affair and told her he didn't love her, and she threatened to leave him and take their children. Subsequently, Watts jumped on Shanann, who was on her back in their bed.

"Time seemed to stand still and he saw his life disappearing before his eyes," reads the report, "but he couldn't let go" of his wife's neck as he strangled her.
"Like, the whole — everything that happened that morning, I just don't — I don't know, like…like, I try to go back in my head…I'm just like, I didn't want to do this, but I did it," he told investigators. "Everything just kinda like…it just felt like it was…I don't even want to say it felt like I had to, it just felt like there was already something in my mind that was implanted that I was gonna do it and when I woke up that morning it was gonna happen and I had no control over it."
The newly released Feb. 18 audio confession sheds new light on the brutal murders: Watts confessed to strangling Shanann and then loading her body into the bed of his truck before driving it to a remote oil field, where he smothered both girls.

"It was like picturing someone around you, holding your hands, holding you and keeping you from letting go," he told investigators.
After Shanann was dead, Watts claims his oldest, Bella, walked into their bedroom holding her blanket and "asked what was wrong with mommy." Watts told police "he believed Bella may have been woken up by the noise" of the killing.
It continues: "He told Bella 'Mommy don't feel good.' Bella thought Shanann was sleeping. Bella is a smart girl and knew what was going on. Bella never touched Shanann or tried to wake her up."

After killing Shanann, Watts told police he wrapped her body, facedown, in a bed sheet, and he "tried to carry Shanann down the stairs and lost his grip and ended up having to pull her down the stairs."
Watts said his daughter Bella "watched him drag Shanann down the stairs and began to cry and said, 'What's wrong with mommy?' He told Bella again that her mommy didn't feel good."
After loading his truck with his wife's body and his two children, Watts drove towards the remote oil field where police would find all three bodies. "Bella asked, 'Is mommy okay?,'" reads the report, obtained by PEOPLE. "He told Bella and Celeste that mommy would be fine.
"As he drove to the oil site with Shanann, Bella, and Celeste, he was nervous, shaking, and didn't know what was going to happen," the report explains. "He knew at that moment that his life was completely changed."

At the oil site, he removed Shanann's body, and placed it on the ground before killing both girls.
Bella witnessed him kill Celeste and begged for her life before her father killed her.

Last November, Watts pleaded guilty to all three killings. He is currently serving five life sentences without the possibility of parole.
Watts was having an affair with a co-worker at the time of the killings. Authorities have cited his desire for a "fresh start" with his mistress as his motive.


At ServiceMaster Quality Services in Houma, we offer a wide variety of commercial cleaning services catering to your specific business needs. While many clients contact us for floor cleaning or our trustworthy janitorial services, lots of business owners overlook the not-so-obvious places cleaning should be done.
One overlooked area in many office environments is the typical chair. After years of multiple people using chairs around the building, a thorough deep cleaning is highly recommended. Consider for a second just how unsanitary a well-used office chair is.
Lots of dirt and grime are carried in from the outdoors on people's shoes and clothing. Employees who put their feet up on chairs transfer the dirt from the street, causing stains and bad odors. Lots of different things get wiped on a chair throughout a day and should be properly cleaned as a measure of health and safety.
Sick employees tend to create more sick employees. Chair fabric can harbor an obscene amount of germs, some of which can live for long periods of time and make others sick.
Let's be frank, lots of rear ends occupy office chairs over the course of a year. This can result in the buildup of bad smells and set in stains.
Not only will professional cleaning of chairs and other furniture around the office remove the gross factor, our services can also help restore the look and feel of the furniture and protect it moving forward. This can help reduce the cost of replacing stained, old-looking chairs over time. Our professional upholstery cleaning services can give your business an updated look without having to invest a lot of cash. Your employees and customers will both appreciate the fresher-smelling, nicer-looking furniture around the office. We can accommodate the safe cleaning of multiple types of furniture upholstery including fabric and leather.
In addition to our professional upholstery cleaning services, we also offer deep cleaning carpet services to revive a tired, worn-out looking carpet. Carpeted areas, especially where foot traffic is heavy, can make an office look dingy and dirty. With a full service carpet cleaning, you can restore and protect the carpeting for a lot less money than buying a replacement.
Contact our commercial cleaning specialists at ServiceMaster Quality Services today to discuss our commercial services. Whether you need a full office cleaning or monthly maintenance services, we can help. Our business can help make your business shine like new again.

9 Takeaways From Chris Pratt's MTV Awards Speech ›
9 Takeaways From Chris Pratt's MTV Awards Speech
The "Jurassic Park" actor gave a heart-warming address after receiving this years generation award.
Paige Brazil
Chris Pratt (@prattprattpratt) Instagram
Chris Pratt was the 2018 MTV Generation Award recipient, delivering a light-hearted and inspirational acceptance speech directed toward the younger generations, self-titled "9 Rules from Chris Pratt." Even though Pratt is addressing the younger audiences, I think everyone can benefit from his advice, so....
1. Breathe.
"So you don't suffocate." Literally and figuratively.
2. You have a soul!
"Be careful with it."
3. Don't be a turd...
"If you're strong, be a protector, and if you're smart be humble influencer. Strength and intelligence can be weapons, don't wield them against the weak. That makes you a bully."
4. When you're giving a dog medicine, put it in a tiny piece of hamburger.
"They won't even know they're eating medicine."
5. It doesn't matter what it is, earn it.
"A good deed? Reach out to someone in pain, be of service. It feels good and it's good for your soul."
6. God is real. God loves you. God wants the best for you.
"Believe that, I do."
7. If you have to poop at a party, but you're embarrassed, just do what I do: lock the door, sit down, get all the pee out first, then once all the pee's out, poop flush. Boom.
"You minimize the amount of time the poop is touching the air, because if you poop first it takes you longer to pee, and then you're peeing on top of it, stirring it up. Then the poop particles create a cloud that goes out, and then everyone in the party will know that you pooped. Just trust me."
8. Learn to pray.
"It's easy, and it's so good for your soul."
9. Nobody is perfect!
"People are going to tell you you're perfect just the way you are, you're not. You are imperfect. You always will be. But, there is a powerful force that made you that way, and if you're willing to accept that, you will have grace. Grace is a gift. And like the freedom that we enjoy, grace was paid for by somebody else's blood. Do not forget it. Don't take it for granted."

Business is a growing career path for many science PhDs, who are now presented with an array of opportunities to work in management, consulting, finance, venture capital, equity research, and entrepreneurship. The PhD is highly valued in the business world; nevertheless, it may not be entirely clear why a background in scientific research is suited for a career in the for-profit arena, the differences a PhD can expect to face in heading outside the academic environment, and how to break into the field without pursuing an additional advanced degree.
To assist PhDs thinking about a future in business, Paul Tumpowsky, chairman of the board of InSITE and CEO of Square Zero, spoke at the Academy on May 13, 2010, at the Science Alliance event "Leveraging the Scientific Mindset in the Business World". Paul discussed the challenges, risks, and blessings of having an academic research background when transitioning into business. He also covered ways scientists can leverage this perspective to successfully navigate this new environment and produce positive results.
Paul ended his talk by introducing InSITE, a NYC-based entrepreneurship fellowship program as a potential vehicle for a limited number of graduate students to gain hands-on business experience and training. Following the discussion several current members of InSITE's student leadership, alumni of the group, and Board members were in attendance to meet and network with Science Alliance participants.
Paul Tumpowsky is the CEO of Square Zero, a development stage company building a platform designed to achieve real-time data processing and analytic capabilities for today's large-scale data challenges.
Prior to Square Zero, Tumpowsky was a principal with Metropolis Venture Partners in New York. Tumpowsky sourced deal flow, evaluated business plans, conducted due diligence and interviewed companies for early-stage venture fund focused on investing between $1–$10 million per transaction in the telecommunications, networking, wireless and enterprise software markets. As part of his responsibilities, Tumpowsky was the founding chief of staff of an optical networking hardware firm and operated a commodity metals trading software firm as CEO through multimillion-dollar Chapter 7 involuntary bankruptcy and wind down.
Prior to business school, Tumpowsky spent over four years at Andersen Consulting, where he specialized in acquisition advisory, custom database design and development, and logistics strategy. Tumpowsky is the chairman of the Board of the InSITE Fellowship program in New York and has led the early-stage selection committee for NYNMA's VentureDowntown conference.
Tumpowsky received his MBA from Columbia Business School, where he concentrated on finance and entrepreneurship, a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois and has studied at the Shibaura Institute of Technology in Tokyo.

filed: July 1, 2015 • U.K.
More than 2,000sq km of the British countryside has been lost in just six years, with much of it giving way to urban development and resource extraction, according to research which finds the landscape is changing at an alarming rate.
Forests, farmland and wetlands are being cleared to make way for new housing, mineral extraction, golf courses and wind farms, according to a new map detailing the make-up of the ground.
Comparing the latest survey with the previous one, the work reveals that a total of 224,200 hectares – or 2,225sq km – of land was transformed between 2006 and 2012, an area representing about 1 per cent of the UK.
"There has been a significant loss of countryside in the widest sense and that is concerning. There is a lot of development going on in the country," said Professor Heiko Balzter, of the University of Leicester, who led the research.
"I have come across a lot of anecdotal evidence from people who have seen change happening outside their back door – in the form of housing estates, industrial developments and big motorways," he added.
He said the widespread loss of wetlands – which perform valuable functions such as storing carbon emissions and preventing flooding – was particularly concerning.
Professor Balzter added that the scale of the transformation is likely to be even higher than is suggested by his map because the satellite imaging used to draw it up does not pick up any changes smaller than five hectares – 50,000sq metres.
"The maps show a need for a more detailed study of the state of our countryside, because of the technical limitations of this mapping approach," he said.
Neil Sinden, director of policy and campaigns at the Campaign to Protect Rural England, added: "It is particularly concerning that more than 22,000 hectares of rural land have been converted to artificial surfaces.
More than 7,000 hectares of forest, 14,000 hectares of agricultural land and 1,000 hectares of wetlands were converted to make way for urban development between 2006 and 2012, the maps show.
Over the same period, more than 5,000 hectares of arable and pasture land were ripped up to make way for mining, while 3,000 hectares of coniferous forest was cleared for "industrial" development – much of it to make space for wind farms in Scotland.
Meanwhile, more than 100,000 hectares of coniferous forest were lost to clear-cutting, mostly in Wales and Scotland. While new trees were planted over about half of the deforested area to help sustain the timber trade, Professor Balzter noted that "clear-cutting far exceeded replanting of coniferous forest".
Despite the decline in countryside, agricultural land remains the dominant "land-cover" type in the UK, accounting for 57 per cent of the country. Forest and semi-natural areas comprise 3 per cent, wetlands account for 11 per cent and "artificial surfaces" – essentially residential and commercial development – made up 8 per cent.
Friends of the Earth called on the Government to take the findings of this latest research on board and take "urgent action" to curb development.
"This study reinforces evidence that the way we farm, use and develop land and the loss of forests are key causes of the alarming decline of nature across the UK," said the Friends of the Earth campaigner Paul de Zylva.


The house is filled with the fragrance of roses and fresh rajnigandhas. I had got a whiff of the sweet scent a night before and knew they were there somewhere in the house. I was positive my mom would have brought flowers like she does every anniversary. Then we got a lot more flowers, from friends and family. Our house looks dressed up and now you know the air that the lucky florists breath every day. My 3 -year old baby noticed everyone giving us flowers. She went into the garden, picked a withered rose from our plant and gave it to her papa saying 'Happy Anniversary'.
Mayank followed the ritual of taking me out to dinner to an unknown place. It was the Oberoi at MG Road this time. The ride was pleasant. Especially the moon, was it full yday? Coz it was definitely BIG and made a wallpaper backdrop through our drive.
Finally the dinner was over and the pleasant and ohh so sweet waiters came to our table with a bouquet of flowers and a scrumptious chocolate cake. I was about to cut it and the baby pushed from behind. The table being a regular trolley moved ahead. Gosh! The last thing I needed was to have my face in the cake and everyone around me controlling their laughter! 🙂 Thankfully the cake cutting went off well. Mayank caught the baby in time so I managed to cut a thin sliver of the cake which I naturally gave my super enthu baby.
We returned late at night with the baby curled up and fast asleep in the car. Once it was all over it seemed so funny that I just had to pen it down. Baby, when you are grown up and go for your anniversary dinner, please read this post so will definitely have a hearty laugh before going out to celebrate. I think the day was very special to me. Thanks so all the people who sent flowers, gifts, best wishes and calls to make our day. The dinner was delicious and the ambiance was perfect. A very memorable day indeed.
I made a mocha chocolate chip cake for our anniversary. It was a simple cake made in very little time. Thankfully, it came out soft even without much beating. It was a recipe made on the fly. I'm sharing it with you here.
Shift the dry ingredients. Beat the butter and the egg separately.
Slowly add the dry mix and the beaten egg alternately to the butter and beat well.
Add vanilla essence , chocolate chips and mix.
coffee powder quantity and sugar as well.
It was so sweet of your baby to go to the garden and give flower.

The past three summers Black Knights Robots has sponsored two summer camps for both elementary and middle school students in our laboratory. For 1 week our students work as mentors to young children in the Las Vegas valley.
We try to give back to the school, and one way we do that is work with the school's Special Education Program. Every week, students from Special Education are invited to the classroom to experience what the program has to offer. Our program gives the Special Education students self-confidence and the skills to work in a group.
The team volunteers at elementary and middle schools to give younger students the opportunity to experience robotics. We believe that the more students that we can introduce to robotics at an earlier age will provide the team and the community with better equipped students to tackle the rigors of high school robotics. We have two liaison teams currently working with feeder middle schools. Our endeavors have even caused one of the teams to win tournament champion in the 2016-2017 season.
Sierra Vista High School has had the privilege to participate in the KLUC toy drive during this past holiday season. The team has donated over $500 worth of toys to children in the Las Vegas community. It feels great to be able to give back to the community in ways that will touch the hearts of families around the world.
Our team has had the privilege to participate in the Metro Police Department trunk or treat the past two years. At these events we set up a booth displaying our robots and hand out candy to younger kids. Its a great opportunity for our team to give back to the families of police officers and thank them for all the help they do in the community.

The Architect of Rock and Roll
Richard Wayne Penniman (December 5, 1932 – May 9, 2020), better known as Little Richard, was an American singer, songwriter, and musician. An influential figure in popular music and culture for seven decades, he was nicknamed "The Innovator", "The Originator", and "The Architect of Rock and Roll". Penniman's most celebrated work dates from the mid-1950s, when his charismatic showmanship and dynamic music, characterized by frenetic piano playing, pounding backbeat and raspy shouted vocals, laid the foundation for rock and roll.
His innovative emotive vocalizations and uptempo rhythmic music also played a key role in the formation of other popular music genres, including soul and funk. He influenced numerous singers and musicians across musical genres from rock to hip hop; his music helped shape rhythm and blues for generations to come.

Andre Harrell
Everyone who loved Andre Harrell was introduced to his brilliance at different phases in his career. If you mention him to a diehard Hip Hop fan you will hear stories about how he and his crew mate Alonzo Brown formed the legendary rap group – "Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde " in the early 80s releasing some of the dopest music ever recorded.
Dr Jeckyll & Mr Hyde were under Russell Simmons' Rush Management and were known as the suit and tie rappers because of their designer suits, shirts and ties.
Their biggest singles were "Fast Life" (1984) and "Getting Money" (1983). They also recorded underground Classics like "Genius Rap" and the street favorite, the Beat and Lyric driven – "A.M. / P.M." That song featured
one of the greatest story raps in Hip Hop History! A verse from Mr. Hyde (Alonzo Brown) about a shark who helped him find his magic potion!
https://youtu.be/gLASYMHtfsg
After the crew split in 1987 the duo both went on to do magical things. Brown became a Television and Film Executive and Andre Harrell went on to construct one of the most important music movements the world has ever seen.
In the footsteps of Motown's Berry Gordy, Harrell is credited with having discovered and signing Sean "Puffy" Combs. In 1988, Mary J. Blige recorded an impromptu cover of Anita Baker's "Caught Up in the Rapture" at a recording booth in a local mall. Her mother's boyfriend at the time later played the cassette for Jeff Redd, a recording artist and A&R runner for Uptown Records. Redd sent it to Harrell, who met with Blige. In 1989, she was signed to the label, and she became the company's youngest and first female solo artist. Uptown also developed and released a healthy roster of Hip Hop and R&B superstars.
The label played a key role in the development of the New Jack Swing style of R&B, courtesy of acts like Guy (featuring the hugely influential producer-performer Teddy Riley), Al B. Sure and Jodeci, Father MC and the late great Hip Hop Legend – "Heavy D" of "Heavy D and the Boyz."
Harrell had multimedia deal, which involved film and television productions. They developed FOX's hit police drama series, New York Undercover, which aired from 1994-1998.
Harrell renamed Uptown Records as Uptown Enterprises, and its records were featured in productions for Universal Pictures and Universal Television.
In 1994, Harrell had a son with Wendy Credle, a music attorney. They named him Gianni Credle-Harrell.
In 1995, Harrell was appointed CEO of Motown Records.
Harrell was the Vice Chairman of Revolt, Diddy's multi-platform music network. On October 17, 2014, he was instrumental in launching the Revolt Music Conference in Miami, Florida, at the Fountainbleau Hotel.
According to IMDB, Andre had been working on a TV miniseries about Uptown that was in the development phase at BET. The three-part miniseries titled "Uptown" had Harrell on board as executive producer and was scheduled to hit the airwaves in 2020.
Andre Harrell is a true pioneer and multimedia super hero.
On May 9th 2020 Andre Harrell passed away at the age of 59. He will be sorely missed.
