Dirty Pairadice and Dio Rising - A Twin Shot of Rock and Metal at 172!
by Taylor Carlson
Dio Rising played 172 inside the Rio Hotel Casino on Friday, March 22, 2019, with support act Dirty Pairadice.
There's no denying the musicianship of Ronnie James Dio, across the various acts he was a part of. With Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and his own band, Dio, he released countless anthems which remain revered as classic hard rock and heavy metal classics. When he passed away in 2010, it was a crippling blow to the rock and roll world. Many groups do their part to keep his legacy alive, including Dio Rising, a locally-based tribute to the various phases of Ronnie James Dio's career (this group was previously known as Last in Line, but changed the name when an unrelated group comprised mostly of former Dio band members began using the same moniker).
Starting off the evening was local rockers Dirty Pairadice. These guys were around several years ago on the scene, wowing audiences across Sin City with their high-energy shows and intense rock and roll style. Creative differences from within resulted in the group's demise, but they've returned from the dead to rock Vegas yet again, and this fan couldn't be more thrilled about that.
The group features frontman Dallas Williams (who also fronts modern rock tribute Smashing Alice), guitarist Dylan Dice, bassist Ruzz Roxx, and drummer Donny Dececco. In a town flooded with 80s-style rock tributes, the more aggressive and modern rock of a group like Pairadice is a welcomed addition.
Their assortment of tracks, covering an hour-long set, made for one hell of an evening, with a pleasant surprise coming in the cover of the Bryan Adams classic, "Run to You," and a kick-ass guitar solo which Eddie Van Halen would have been proud of. Here's hoping the group is around on the Vegas scene for years to come.
Following a half-hour intermission, Dio Rising took the stage. The four-piece band consists of vocalist David Fisher, guitarist Massimo Provinciali, bassist Ryan Dudder, and drummer Jeremy Meronuck, though the band does not feature a keyboard player.
With a 40+ year setlist stretching back to 1975's Rainbow debut, there's no shortage of material to choose from, spanning the careers of Dio's stints in Rainbow and Black Sabbath, as well as the band Dio. Would Dio Rising give their audience all the classic hits? Deep cuts? Something in between?
While certain fans are bound to nitpick this setlist, I found it to be a solid representation of Ronnie James Dio's career. We got the usual expected fare like "Man on the Silver Mountain," "Long Live Rock and Roll," "Heaven and Hell," "Neon Knights," "Mob Rules," "Rainbow in the Dark," "Holy Diver," and "Last in Line," but their setlist actually opened up to a pleasantly surprising amount of underrated tunes from the back catalogue, including "I" and "Computer God" from the 1992 Black Sabbath Dehumanizer reunion album, "Tarot Woman" and "Kill the King" from the Rainbow days, and even the title cut from 2002's Killing the Dragon album. Yes, there are a few other deep cuts I would like to have seen thrown in (how about the non-album classic "Time to Burn?"), but at large, this setlist satisfied and then some. The audience clearly was not disappointed.
The band members themselves are all competent and satisfactory at performing the material. Frontman David Fisher is never going to be mistaken for Ronnie James Dio by any means, but he sings this material with the passion it deserves, and has clearly studied footage of Ronnie performing the material; it's good to see their performances aren't just "copycats" of the studio albums. Guitarist Massimo Provinciali surprisingly resembles the short-haired version of Vivian Campbell, and his skills are certainly up to snuff and then some. The rhythm section fares well too, which this material absolutely requires.
Obviously, due to the small nature of the venue, there isn't much which can be done in the way of theatrics, so if you're expecting to see the band's version of Ronnie fighting a giant animatronic dragon with a light-up sword, you're out of luck. But this is to be expected given the constraints of the club and most smaller stages.
Overall, I enjoyed this show; the musicians were more than suitable for the material, and the setlist balanced the hits and the deep cuts beautifully. The two additions I'd love to see for the band's future shows:
First and foremost, add a keyboard player! So many of the best Dio songs have wild keyboard work which can't be done justice with a recording of that portion of the track. Adding one also greatly increases the numbers of songs which can be performed live. Am I the only one who'd love to hear these guys doing "Gates of Babylon?"
The other addition I'd love to see would be at least some slight theatrics. Go watch footage of Dio's live 1986 tour. Vinny Appice does a drum solo with light-up lightsaber-style drumsticks. A drum solo was lacking from this show, so why not add it, and take it to the next level with props like these? A few minor theatrics would give the show the extra edge it needs.
Overall, this was a kick-ass night of rock which fused the old and new beautifully. Dirty Pairadice and Dio Rising are alive and rocking Sin City stages, so you owe it to yourself to check out both bands.

Mutagenesis of Leuconostoc dextranicum NRRL B-1146 for higher glucan production
A Singh, A Majumder, A Goyal
glucan, leuconostoc dextranicum, mutagenesis
A Singh, A Majumder, A Goyal. Mutagenesis of Leuconostoc dextranicum NRRL B-1146 for higher glucan production. The Internet Journal of Microbiology. 2008 Volume 7 Number 1.
The constitutive mutants of Leuconostoc dextranicum NRRL B-1146 were generated by classical mutagenesis technique using UV radiation for higher production of glucan. The conditions of mutagenesis such as dilution factor and time of UV light exposure were optimized. Three stage screening of mutants was carried out and the mutants were grown and subsequently tested for glucan content produced after the second stage. In the first stage 137 mutants were picked by visual screening based on morphology and colony size and grown. In the second stage of screening, 97 colonies were visually screened from 137 colonies and glucan content was analysed by microtitre format. In the third stage screening, 11 higher glucan producing mutants were selected from 97. Finally, 3 mutants produced significantly high glucan content, out of 11 selected mutants. The wild-type strain gave 1.01 g/l of glucan using statistically optimized medium. The mutant 64 gave maximum glucan content of 5.1 g/l, 5 times higher than that produced by wild-type Leuconostoc dextranicum NRRL B-1146 followed by mutant 88 giving 4.24 g/l and mutant 9 giving 4.1 g/l.
Glucansucrases are extracellular proteins involved in the synthesis of α-glucans. Lactic acid bacteria produce a wide variety of exopolysaccharides [1,2]. Leuconostoc species are commercially exploited for the production of glucans, homopolysaccharides which contain only one type of monosaccharide, glucose. Glucans differ in the type of glucosidic linkages, degree and type of branching, length of glucan chains, molecular mass and conformation of polymers [3]. All these properties strongly contribute to specific polysaccharide properties such as solubility, rheology and other physical characteristics. Depending on the main chain glucosidic linkages in glucan, three different types of α-glucans synthesized by Leuconostoc are known viz. dextran with α-(1-6), mutan with α-(1-3) and alternan with α-(1-6), α-(1-3) linkages [3]. Chemical modifications in polysaccharides have been extensively studied and reviewed [4]. Glucans are potential therapeutic agents and are also used as viscosifying, stabilizing, emulsifying, sweetening, gelling, or water-binding agents, in the food as well as in non-food industries [5,6].
The efficiency of established bioprocesses can be increased either by introducing more productive strains or by optimizing the cultivation medium itself [7]. Development of new functional polysaccharides or glucans is important for food industry [8]. Classical mutagenesis techniques can be used to generate mutants for improvement of enzyme and or glucan production. It can lead to production of new types of glucans. The selection for the desired strain and hunting for mutants however is cumbersome. Efficient mutagenesis and good planning pays off in time and labor. Mutants of Leuconostoc strains NRRL B-512F [9], B-742 [10] and B-1299 [11] and 512FMC [12] are presently used in the industry for their traits. The traditional approach of creating mutants is by exposing the microbes to ultraviolet (UV) light that is fairly efficient in producing substitutions. The glucan produced by Leuconostoc dextranicum NRRL B-1146 is unique with α-(1-6) and α-(1-4) linkages [7] and also contains viscosifying and gelling properties [13]. The present study describes classical mutagenesis of Leuconostoc dextranicum NRRL B-1146 by UV irradiation technique, generating mutant strains with enhanced glucan production.
Mutagenesis of by Ultra Violet (UV) irradiation
Leuconostoc dextranicum NRRL B-1146 was grown (at 28C at 200 rpm) in 10 ml of statistically designed liquid medium as described earlier by Majumder et al. 2009 [7] . A cell concentration of 5.2x10 7 cfu/ml was used and 1 ml of these cells were serially diluted in 9 ml sterile saline (0.85%) contained in test tubes. 100 l from each of the tubes with dilution factor of 10 3 , 10 4 , 10 5 and 10 6 was plated on modified MRS agar medium described by Goyal and Katiyar, 1996 [14] contained in the 90 mm Petri dishes. The Petri dishes were exposed to UV light for different time intervals (1, 2 and 3 min) to determine the percent survival of cells. Percent survival of colonies was calculated as the number of colonies survived after UV light exposure over the total number of colonies in the control, multiplied by 100. Immediately, after UV light exposure, the Petri dishes were kept in the dark for 2h in order to avoid photo-reactivation. A control for each dilution was used that was not exposed to UV light. The percent survival of the cells on Petri dishes was calculated at different UV exposure durations and at different dilution factors with respect to the controls. The colonies were picked at the end of 48 h based on the morphology, size and growth rate of colony. The individual colonies were picked and inoculated in to 10 ml liquid medium of Majumder et al., 2009 [7] to test for glucan production. The UV irradiation was chosen to give 0.1 - 2% survivors for further experiments.
Glucan estimation
The wild-type Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-1146 and mutants were grown in 10 ml of statistically optimized liquid medium of Majumder et al. 2009 [7] at 28C and 200 rpm. 1 ml samples were taken at 48h from the fermenting broth for glucan estimation. The time period of 48 h was optimum for glucan production as reported earlier [7]. After centrifugation the cell free supernatant was analyzed for glucan content. For determination of glucan content 200l supernatant was treated with two volumes of ethanol at 4C for 1h and centrifuged at 10,000g for 10 min. The precipitate obtained was dissolved in an equal amount of water and the glucan content was estimated according to method of Fox and Robyt, 1991 [15] taking the 10 kDa dextran as standard. All assays were performed using microtiter formats, which is an efficient method for screening of mutants producing higher amounts of glucansucrase or glucan. This method helps in handling and screening large number of colonies, reduces the work load, time required and also the volume of the sample and reagents used.
The grown Leuconostoc dextranicum NRRL B-1146 cells on Petri dishes using 10 3 -10 6 dilutions were exposed to UV radiation for 1, 2 and 3 min time duration. A control for each dilution was used that was not exposed to UV light. The percentage survival of the cells on Petri dishes was calculated at different exposure times and different dilutions with respect to the controls. It was found that the percent survival was optimum at an UV light exposure time of 1 min and at dilution factors 10 5 and 10 6 . No colony appeared on Petri dish with dilution factor of 10 3 and only 0.08% colonies survived on 10 4 dilution factor Petri dishes for 1 min UV light exposure. The Petri dishes with 0.1 to 2% cell survival rates were selected. No colony grew on Petri dishes with 2 and 3 min UV exposure at any dilution. The mutagenesis by UV irradiation was optimised at 1 min and at dilution factors 10 5 and 10 6 and the conditions were used for further experimentation.
Under the optimised mutagenesis conditions of dilution factor of 10 5 and 10 6 with 1 min duration of UV light exposure, 13 Petri dishes for each dilution factor were used in order to get sufficient number of mutants. After the UV light exposure, the clusters of colonies that grew around the edges of the Petri dishes were not picked and only those that grew at the centre of Petri dishes were taken (Table 1). From the Petri dishes of dilutions 10 5 and 10 6 , 137 colonies were visually screened based on their morphology and size and further grown on modified MRS agar Petri dishes. From 137 grown colonies, 97 mutants were again visually screened and glucan content of all was estimated using the microtitre format. From the analysis of the glucan produced by 97 mutants, 11 hyper-producer mutant strains were selected.
Table 1. Number of colonies after UV irradiation of Petri dishes for 1 min with 10 and 10 dilution factors.
The Figure 1 shows the glucan content of each of these 11 hyper-producer mutant strains. The wild-type Leuconostoc dextranicum NRRL B-1146 as control gave 1.01 g/l of glucan content in our earlier report [7] that also served as a control in the present study. The numerical data for glucan content of 11 mutants and fold increase are reported in Table 2. The mutant 64 gave maximum glucan content of 5.1 g/l, followed by mutant 88, giving 4.2 g/l and then mutant 9, giving 4.1 g/l (Table 2). It was observed that the mutant nos. 9, 64 and 88 showed very high glucan production, while mutant nos. 10, 58, 63, 74, 82 and 84 showed an appreciable increase of glucan production (Table 2, Fig. 1). The two mutants viz. 24 and 91 gave insignificant increase in glucan content upon repeated estimations, even though they showed a higher concentration when the test was earlier performed in the micro-titre format. This was attributed to the instability of the mutants. The present results of mutant no. 64 generated by mutagenesis of the wild-type Leuconostoc dextranicum NRRL B-1146 showed a further 5 times increase of glucan production to 5.1 g/l.
Fig . 1: Glucan production by 11 hyper producer mutants and wild-type strain.
Table 2. Glucan content of 11 mutants selected from 97 mutants
The wild-type Leuconostoc dextranicum NRRL B-1146 was subjected to mutagenesis by UV radiation to generate mutants that produced higher glucan. The conditions for mutagenesis were optimized at 10 5 and 10 6 dilution factors with an exposure time of 1 min. In the first stage of screening after UV treatment, 137 colonies were picked based on visual analysis of colony morphology and were grown. In the second stage of screening, from 137 mutants about 97 were picked by visual screening on the basis of rapid growth and a visible sheen indicative of the glucan produced. These 97 mutants were then tested for glucan content using a micro-titre based rapid assay. In the third stage of screening of mutants, from the 97 mutants 11 higher glucan producing and fast growing strains were identified. These 11 mutants were then tested for stability by repeatedly sub-culturing every 15 days over a period of 6 months. They were found to be stable with no observable change in the characteristics and concentration of the glucan produced for most of them. They were then again tested for glucan content and it was found that of the 11 mutants, 3 were very high glucan producing mutants, 8 were higher than the wild type strain's production of glucan. The mutant number 64 gave maximum glucan concentration of 5.1 g/l which as 5 times higher than that produced by wild-type Leuconostoc dextranicum NRRL B-1146 that gave 1.01 g/l glucan. The results showed that the classical mutagenesis technique of UV irradiation improved the strain by increasing its growth rate or by increasing the amount or the activity of enzyme release causing higher production of glucan.

Q: Retrofit Error Handling with different types of responses I have two different responses for two different scenarios. One scenario is that I get a JSONArray as a response
 [ {
        "type" : "cat",
        "color": "black"
      },
      {
        "type" : "cat",
        "color": "white"
      } ]

this is the normal response that I am supposed to get. But If the response isnt available for the body that I am sending, I get the following response.
{ "message" : "response not available for this date" }

this is the post request that I have
@POST("user/userTimetable")
    fun getTypeApi(@HeaderMap headers: Map<String, String>, @Body body: ScheduleBody?) : Call <List<Type>>

When I get the latter response, I am getting a crash
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_ARRAY but was BEGIN_OBJECT at line 1 column 2 path $

How do I work with this type of response on kotlin?

A: Retrofit won't predict the response, so either you set the result type to ResponseBody with an object type or change your backend to send a default case that implements the error message and the data.

A:
I once had this issue, please follow the code below

*

*create a model class called ErrorResponse which will return the Data above and modify to show only your message response.

*create a class called ErrorResponseService which will be used to map the ErrorMessage to the returning respose.

*Then do this implementation in your Retrofit call to get the error message when your response fails.

This Friday's featured artist is Marc Boyson and his amazing map art!
As a child I remember going on long car rides on weekends. I have fond memories of looking out the passenger window watching the scenery go by. This joy of exploring with a car continued as I began to drive, taking up the weekend drives on my own, going on roads I had never gone on before, with no clear destination in mind. This contrast of moving through space with freedom now confined to the habitual route of the daily commute is a part of my art practice.
The cartographic trace refers to the invisible line of autobiographical data revealing my daily movement however small, over a surface, between buildings, to work, errands, day trips, or longer journeys… the everyday as art. The question I seek to answer through memory, intuition, and digital recording is: how can I manifest the banal act of the cartographic trace into the beautiful.
From his large-scale map art installations in galleries, to his small and super-intricate pen drawings, Marc Boyson's work is fascinating and mesmerizing!

In one of the most fun podcasts we've ever done, Randy sets up his podcast kit at the Sitka Gear Inaugural Converge Event in Bozeman, Montana, welcoming anyone who wants to put on a headset and talk hunting. Taking the invitation are Mark Kenyon from Wired to Hunt podcast and David Brinker from Sitka Gear. Part way through we are joined by Brian Call of Gritty Bowmen, then added to the conversation are Dustin Roe, a serious sheep outfitter from Cranbrook BC, and Cole Kramer, a Brown Bear outfitter from Kodiak, Alaska. Topics covered are endless, ranging from sentimental hunts, untold conservation stories, hunting the Great Basin states, unexpected encounters, misses, worst shot you ever made, pressure or just unprepared, hunting with pack dogs, clients not listening to guides, the normal small dose of marital advice, videoing your own hunt, breaking body parts while hiking, language edits on camera, hunters seeing the world through a different lens, and more.


General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Jordan (Vinessa Antoine) will team up to solve a mystery in the weeks ahead. They'll discover something that could change everyone's perception of Port Charles. Of course, they'll also grow closer in the process. Jordan and Curtis are falling more in love every day.
Stella (Vernee Watson) will continue to cause trouble here and there, but it's nothing Curtis and Jordan can't handle. They tried breaking up and it only made them miserable. Jordan and Curtis are better off trying to tolerate Stella's pettiness. She'll undoubtedly soften in time, which is great since Curtis and Jordan may have a bright future together.
In a recent interview with Soap Opera Digest, Donnell Turner and Vinessa Antoine talked about their characters' romance. Turner was brought on the show to be paired with Antoine, but it ended up taking a while for that plan to pan out. Fortunately, GH managed to make it happen and things are moving along nicely.
Jordan and Curtis have faced some obstacles, but Turner is hoping that the worst of it's behind them. "We're starting to feel more like a real couple and one thing we have always been adamant about is wanting the writers to play more love — less confrontational, less adversarial," Turner said.
Antoine echoed that idea. "We are finally at a place where we can actually enjoy these two characters as a loving couple," Antoine suggested. "Not fighting, not having that friction." Many fans are happy about that. There's long-term potential for this pairing if GH keeps it up.
Turner joked that Curtis would have to solve a few more cases, but they'd get the job done. It's nice that Turner and Antoine have a solid working relationship. Their characters are certainly fun to watch. Let's hope those wedding plans work out for Curtis and Jordan at some point. Plenty of supporters are rooting for them.
For now, General Hospital spoilers say the PC mystery will keep Jordan and Curtis busy. We'll give you updates as other GH news comes in. Stick with the ABC soap and don't forget to check CDL often for the latest General Hospital spoilers, updates and news.

Q: dc.js Series Chart multi line I am trying to create 2 charts one bar and one series which the bar will show total earnings per store and series will show multi line earnings per year.
Here is the jsfiddle https://jsfiddle.net/xc4bwgLj/
So when I click on Bar chart Store 1, I want in series chart to see for this store earning for 2017 and 2016 each on a new line. Currently the series chart show the total earnings for each store like bar chart.
Any idea how can I change series chart to show 2016 and 2017 earnings per store?
JsFiddle code:
// generate data
var data = [];
var n = 1000.;

for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
console.log(Math.floor(Math.random() * (1 - 0 + 1)) + 0);
  data.push({
    id: (Math.floor(Math.random() * (1 - 0 + 1)) + 0),
    "i": i,
    x: Math.random(),
    "store_name": "Store"+(Math.floor(Math.random() * (1 - 0 + 1)) + 0),
    "2017_earnings": Math.random()*110,
    "2016_earnings": Math.random()*80
  });
}

// do some crossfilter stuff
var cf = crossfilter(data),
  series = cf.dimension(function(d) {
    return [d.store_name, d.i];
  }),
  series_grouped = series
  .group(function(d) {
  console.log(d)
    return [d[0], Math.floor(d[1] / 100.) * 100.];
  })
  .reduceSum(function(d) {
    return d.x;
  }),
  id = cf.dimension(function(d) {
    return d.store_name;
  }),
  id_grouped = id.group().reduceSum(function(d) {
    return d.x;
  });

// generate charts
var chart_width = 960,
  chart_height = 200;
console.log(dc);
dc.seriesChart("#chart_a").height(chart_height).width(.74 * chart_width)
  .chart(function(c) {
    return dc.lineChart(c).renderArea(true)
        .filterHandler(function(dimension, filter) {
        if(filter[0]) {
            dimension.filterFunction(function(d) {
            return d[1] > filter[0][0] && d[1] < filter[0][1];
          });
        } else {
            dimension.filterAll();
        }
        setTimeout(dc.redrawAll,0);
        return filter;
        });
  })
  .x(d3.scale.linear().domain([0, n]))
  .dimension(series)
  .group(series_grouped)
  .seriesAccessor(function(d) {
    return d.key[0];
  })
  .keyAccessor(function(d) {
    return d.key[1];
  })
  .valueAccessor(function(d) {
    return d.value;
  }).legend(dc.legend().x(350).y(350).itemHeight(13).gap(5).horizontal(1).legendWidth(140).itemWidth(70));
dc.barChart("#chart_b").height(chart_height).width(.24 * chart_width)
  .dimension(id)
  .group(id_grouped)
  .x(d3.scale.ordinal())
  .xUnits(dc.units.ordinal)
  .xAxis();

dc.renderAll();

A: Here's a solution using a different data shape. My other example uses a fake group to change the shape after aggregation.
Using a different data shape.
In this case, I don't think the shape of the data is conducive to what you want to do, so in this answer I'll change the shape. I'll try using a fake group in a second answer.
The series chart takes a single group with multikeys, and a group filters by rows. Since each row contains both 2016 and 2017 earnings, it's not possible to aggregate them separately using crossfilter.
So for this attempt I've split the records by earnings year:
for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
  var id = Math.round(Math.random()),
    x = Math.random(),
      store = "Store"+Math.round(Math.random());
  data.push({
    id: id,
    i: i,
    x: x,
    store_name: store,
    earnings_year: 2016,
    earnings: Math.random()*80
  });
  data.push({
    id: id,
    i: i,
    x: x,
    store_name: store,
    earnings_year: 2017,
    earnings: Math.random()*110,
  });
}

I think this preserves all the qualities of your original data, but it splits the records by earnings year. I also simplified the random number generation. ;-)
Now we can easily create multikey dimension which uses earnings_year.
I don't think doing the rounding in the group key function was working, because the dimension and group key functions need to have the same ordering, so I've moved it up:
  series = cf.dimension(function(d) {
    return [d.earnings_year, Math.floor(d.i / 100.) * 100.];
  }),

Now we simply group with the same keys, and reduce by the sum of earnings instead of x (which is what I think was intended).
  series_grouped = series.group()
  .reduceSum(function(d) {
    return d.earnings;
  }),

Fork of your fiddle, with filtering by store https://jsfiddle.net/gordonwoodhull/urxLwh81/

A: Here's a different approach that keeps the shape of the source the same, but split the group for the use of the series chart. In my other answer I change the source data shape.
Using a fake group
Whenever we need to preprocess data, e.g. to change the shape that crossfilter returns, we can use a fake group
We'll reduce both columns separately using an ordinary reduction of multiple fields:
  series = cf.dimension(function(d) {
    return d.i;
  }),
  series_grouped = series.group(function(k) {
    return Math.floor(k / 100.) * 100.;
  })
  .reduce(
    function(p, d) { // add
      p[2016] += d['2016_earnings'];
      p[2017] += d['2017_earnings'];
      return p;
    },
    function(p, d) { // remove
      p[2016] -= d['2016_earnings'];
      p[2017] -= d['2017_earnings'];
      return p;
    },
    function() {
     return {2016: 0, 2017: 0};
    }),

Then this split group will take the names of two fields, and will split each bin into two, using the field name as the first part of the multikey:
function split_group(group, field1, field2) {
  return {
    all: function() {
      var ret = [];
      group.all().forEach(function(kv) {
        ret.push({
          key: [field1, kv.key],
          value: kv.value[field1]
        });
        ret.push({
          key: [field2, kv.key],
          value: kv.value[field2]
        });
      });
      return ret;
    }
  }
}

Use it like this:
  series_split = split_group(series_grouped, 2016, 2017)
  // ...
  chart
    .group(series_split)

Hard to tell with the random number generation, but I think the result is identical to the other answer. Just a different approach.

FOWL PLAY FOR CASH
One year after two of its top executives were linked to a national stock fraud scandal, Ranch 1 Chicken Inc., the Manhattan fast-food chain, is struggling to stay afloat.
The company itself wasn't implicated, but the publicity-the scheme allegedly involved organized crime-dried up any hope that Ranch 1 would raise capital to pay down some $8 million in debt, says acting Chief Executive George Naddaff. "We've been hurt badly by the exposure," he says.
Mr. Naddaff, a well-known Boston venture capitalist who regularly commutes to Ranch 1 headquarters, says he's making several fixes. He's poised to hire a new president and chief operating officer, and has sold off a dozen restaurants to franchisees to raise cash. He's also sliced the corporate staff in half to 17 employees.
One bright spot is that customers still flock to the 62-unit chain for its grilled sandwiches, and despite the dark cloud, franchisees have built 10 more outlets outside of the city in the past year. "People love it. The consumer has not been affected," Mr. Naddaff says.
Governor's Port Of Call
Sila Calderón, the governor of Puerto Rico, says she will probably endorse Gov. George Pataki for re-election next year because of his efforts to stop Navy bombing on the island of Vieques and his support for her economic development initiatives.
"He's an honorable person who's come forward for the good of Puerto Rico," Ms. Calderón told the Crain's editorial board. "I like him a lot."
An endorsement by Ms. Calderón would be a big boost for the governor, who has been courting Hispanic voters intensely in recent months. Ms. Calderón noted that after the Puerto Rican Day parade-in which both she and Mr. Pataki marched-the governor called to offer his help with federal legislation aimed at encouraging more investment in Puerto Rico.
As for the mayor's race, Ms. Calderón says she has been lobbied by several candidates, including Fernando Ferrer, Alan Hevesi and Michael Bloomberg, but she intends to stay neutral for now.
WFAN's Mouse Problem
The Walt Disney Co. is getting closer to sealing a deal to acquire talk station WEVD-AM. Tim McCarthy, general manager of Disney-owned WABC-AM, says, "I know we're one of the top contenders."
Reports of a sale began surfacing in February. The Forward, which owns WEVD, could get between $80 million and $90 million for the station.
Mr. McCarthy, who would likely have a hand in running the station, confirms that it would be used for ESPN's sports programming. It would be "personality-driven," says Mr. McCarthy, much like WFAN-AM. That station has a lot to lose, including important franchises like Sunday night baseball, to which ESPN owns the rights.
Mr. McCarthy says he's got some good programming ideas, but he adds, "When the lawyers say it's a done deal, I'll start worrying about it."
That could be by summer's end, says one WABC insider. If so, longtime WEVD personalities such as Bill Mazer and former mayor Ed Koch will most likely be looking for new gigs.
Trumpeting a queens louis
It is not widely known that the world-renowned jazz legend Louis Armstrong lived in a modest house in Corona, Queens. Queens College, which manages Mr. Armstrong's archives, plans to change that.
The college already has received $1.4 million to renovate Mr. Armstrong's house and turn it into a museum. Work is scheduled to begin this fall. Now it is looking to raise an additional $5 million to run the museum and set up an endowment.
Corporate sponsors are vital to Queens College's strategy. Its biggest supporter so far is KeySpan Corp., which threw a gala to kick off the fund-raising campaign, and donated a $30,000 natural gas, 10-seater van-called the "Satchmobile," after Mr. Armstrong's nickname, "Satchmo"-to take visitors to the house/museum.
ROSTER ADDITION
New York Mets fans soon won't have far to go to celebrate, or drown their sorrows. Manager Bobby Valentine, who has another life as a restaurant owner, has inked a deal for a sports bar and restaurant in a hotel opening this summer within steps of Shea Stadium.
"It's the perfect kind of restaurant for us," says Michael Pomeranc, a partner in The Pomeranc Group, developer of the hotel, a 220-room Ramada Plaza that will open in the Corona section of Queens.
The Bobby Valentine Sports Gallery Cafe will be decorated with Mets memorabilia, and is designed to be a comfortable stop for sports fans attending games or traveling through nearby La Guardia Airport, says project consultant Paul Pupo.
This will be Mr. Valentine's third cafe. He opened his first 21 years ago in Stamford, Conn., and a second in Arlington, Texas, where he managed the Rangers.

A common problem for this malfunction is when the car owner recently replaced the battery, or perhaps jump-stared their vehicle, which in both cases could have caused an electrical spike that made the speedometer go berserk.
See the simple reset solution in the video below, demonstrated on a 2002 Chrysler Sebring. Other make and models may have a similar solution.
My mom has a 2001 Chrysler Town and Country and I borrowed it for the night for a drive in movie. I had to have the car jumped and I found that my speedometer wasn't working. I thought I had broken something and that it would be expensive to fix, but instead I didn't have to pay a single penny! It was so easy! I'm glad I looked online first before I brought it into a shop! Now my parents don't even have to know it was broken in the first place haha! Thank you so much, it really was extremely easy! It took some playing around with when to put in the key, but other than that, very simple!
My speedometer stopped working after my battery in my Chevy colbolt was reconnected. I had to jump my car in order yo get the trunk open. When I hot the car started and begin driving, I noticed my speedometer was not working. Any ideas how to get it working without going to a mechanic?

Yeah, I'm not quite "feeling" this.
I trust Nvidia with hearing/seeing me in my undies in the living room much more than I trust OnePlus. In fact, even Amazon, Samsung and Google are sketchy. The only exception is Apple, because if they get caught spying on people it could potentially ruin their business costing Hundreds of Millions of Dollars.
One approach I've recommended was to pick up a cheap Xiaomi unit instead, then flash a trusted Custom Rom (sketchy re-sellers). Then use that, if you value price AND privacy.
Don't see the point, the market is a little saturated. It will be incredibly hard for them to make a dent in it.
Not even Apple dared to enter it and just went with a roku box.

Feeling a little bloated after indulging this Easter? Well, don't feel guilty because you deserved a break and who can resist a ton of chocolate, roast dinners and a few too many Crème Eggs?
Sadly, the festivities are over and your jeans may be feeling a little tighter but now is the time to start planning for summer. And while some of that means getting together with your mates to plan the trip of a lifetime, the flip side is that some of you may want to get in shape for the warmer season ahead.
If, like me, you still have a few (packets) of mini eggs lying around, don't force yourself to chuck them away or, worse, eat them all at once and start again on Monday. Enjoy your treats in moderation by counting out your remaining chocolatey treats and having one or two a day. This way your stash will last longer, you'll save money and you'll savour them more.
Stay far away from adverts and billboards telling you how you should look in a bikini, and instead focus on how to make yourself comfortable in whatever swimwear you choose. If you start focussing on your health now, you'll feel more energised and comfortable in your own skin while you're exploring new places or relaxing on the beach.
A great way of motivating yourself is picturing what you will look and feel like if you take the time to pay attention to your health and fitness. Whether you want a more toned physique or more energy throughout the day, focus on the version of yourself you want to be.
Getting fit is much more fun and effective when you're doing it with friends. Try fun fitness activities like signing up to a new society at your uni, doing some fun exercise DVDs in halls with your roommates or hire a bike and head to your nearest park. Whatever you chose to do, make sure there is variety and teamwork so everyone can get involved.
Approaching the summer holidays also means you'll be gearing up towards end of year exams so it will become increasingly easier to convince yourself that you don't have time. It's important to remember that eating healthily and doing regular exercise actually boosts your mental performance, improves your concentration and helps manage stress levels. So even when you feel trapped in the library, it's good to give yourself an hour or so to look after your health.
So there you have it, I'm not saying chug a few protein shakes and spend hours in the gym, but a few simple changes and ways of changing your mind-set, will set you on good stead for a healthier you this summer.


The tensile properties of compatible glassy polyblends based upon poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide).
The mechanical behavior of compatible glassy polyblends based upon poly (2 , 6-dimethyl-l , 4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) was investigated. In particular, the influence of composition, molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution upon the large deformation tensile properties was assessed. Various possible correlations between the experimentally determined moduli and theory are considered. Included are correlations with density, packing density, composite theory and lattice fluid theory. Similarities in behavior of the compatible glassy polyblends to the phenomenon known as "antiplasticization" is presented. The modeling of the properties of these polymer mixtures via Simplex lattice design is also detailed. Finally, attention is given to the development of compatibility criteria based upon the large deformation tensile property and density measurements.
It was shown that composite equations cannot adequately describe the mechanical behavior of compatible PPO based polyblends. However, it is possible to generate a second order Simplex equation which will closely model the modulus-compositional empirical trends. Furthermore, there are strong indications that the interaction term in the Simplex equation can serve as a useful gauge for compatibility and level of compatibility.

A co-location server is one that is situated at a dedicated facility and houses a customer's equipment. These facilities usually offer high-security, regulated power, filtered power, backup power generators, secured cages, a dedicated internet connection, security, support, fire detection and extinguishing devices. This allows firms to house their hardware in a more secure location than at an office.
The first advantage to co-location is improved connectivity. It's much more cost-effective and economical to run a line through a co-location facility. Most co-location centers support multiple ISP's through fiber optic lines. Also, with fully redundant network connections, the uptime of the server will be maximized.
Co-location facilities are customizable to specific customer needs. Since the customer is providing their own hardware, the co-location centers offer specific storage, connectivity, recovery and security options to fit the needs of the client. Many of the storage rooms are designed specifically for the servers and are fire-safe, temperature and humidity controlled and completely secure.
A major and appealing advantage for utilizing co-location centers are the financial gains. Many small and medium sized businesses have found enormous savings on infrastructure, technology and human services such as external customer support services. In most co-location centers, there's a group of certified technicians that monitor the functionality of the servers so firms don't have to pay costly information technology personnel.
By placing the bulky equipment in a co-location facility, this leaves much more room at a small to mid-sized office. Servers can occupy a good deal of space, be noisy and give of an enormous amount of heat. Storing them in a different location will eliminate this and allow employees to work without distraction.
Co-location centers often have disaster recovery sites as a backup. If there is ever an issue with a few servers, there are backup servers available. The network will switch to a mirrored site within a few minutes to ensure little or no data is compromised. This also costs less than any disaster recovery system in an office.
Many co-location centers provide some of the best network and in house security available. These features include updated firewalls and IDS applications which detect unauthorized intrusions. Also, these centers have security networking personnel, security guards, cameras and other precautionary measures to ensure full protection.
Co-location server hosting has many benefits that offer better connectivity, customization, financial gains, improved storage space, disaster recovery and better security. If each of these features were individually added to an office at the level co-location facilities offer, it would cost the firm an exuberant amount of money.

Remembering Ed McMahon
LOS ANGELES - Ed McMahon, the loyal "Tonight Show" sidekick who bolstered boss Johnny Carson with guffaws and a resounding "H-e-e-e-e-e-ere's Johnny!" for 30 years, died early Tuesday. He was 86.
McMahon died shortly after midnight at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center surrounded by his wife, Pam, and other family members, said his publicist, Howard Bragman.
Bragman didn't give a cause of death, saying only that McMahon had a "multitude of health problems the last few months."
McMahon had bone cancer, among other illnesses, according to a person close to the entertainer, and had been hospitalized for several weeks. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release the information.
McMahon broke his neck in a fall in March 2007, and battled a series of financial problems as his injuries prevented him from working.
Doc Severinson, "Tonight" bandleader during the Carson era, said McMahon was a man "full of life and joy and celebration."
"He will be sorely missed. He was one of the greats in show business, but most of all he was a gentleman. I miss my friend," Severinson said in a statement.
Jerry Digney, who was McMahon's longtime publicist, said McMahon was the most "courtly, good-natured person you could ever meet" and that he brought "elegance, humor and a new sense of importance" to the role of second banana.
McMahon and Carson had worked together for nearly five years on the game show "Who Do You Trust?" when Carson took over NBC's late-night show from Jack Paar in October 1962. McMahon played second banana on "Tonight" until Carson retired in 1992.
"You can't imagine hooking up with a guy like Carson," McMahon said in an interview with The Associated Press in 1993. "There's the old phrase, hook your wagon to a star. I hitched my wagon to a great star."
McMahon, who never failed to laugh at his Carson's quips, kept his supporting role in perspective.
"It's like a pitcher who has a favorite catcher," he said. "The pitcher gets a little help from the catcher, but the pitcher's got to throw the ball. Well, Johnny Carson had to throw the ball, but I could give him a little help."
Nightly 'free-for all' with Carson"And now h-e-e-e-e-e-ere's Johnny!" was McMahon's trademark opener for each "Tonight" show, followed by a small, respectful bow toward the star. McMahon's style was honed during his youthful days as a carnival hawker.
The highlight for McMahon came just after the monologue, when he and Carson would chat before the guests took the stage.
"We would just have a free-for-all," he said in the AP interview. "Now to sit there, with one of the brightest, most well-read men I've ever met, the funniest, and just to hold your own in that conversation. ... I loved that."
When Carson died in 2005, McMahon said he was "like a brother to me," and recalled bantering with him on the phone a few months earlier.
"We could have gone on (television) that night and done a 'Carnac' skit. We were that crisp and hot."
His medical and financial problems kept him in the headlines in his last years. It was reported in June 2008 that he was facing possible foreclosure on his Beverly Hills home.
By year's end, a deal was worked out allowing him to stay in his home, but legal action involving other alleged debts continued.
Among those who had stepped up with offers of help was Donald Trump.
"When I was at the Wharton School of Business I'd watch him every night," Trump told the Los Angeles Times in August. "How could this happen?"
McMahon even spoofed his own problems with a spot that aired during the 2009 Super Bowl promoting a cash-for-gold business. Pairing up with rap artist MC Hammer, he explained how easy it is to turn gold items into cash, jokingly saying "Goodbye, old friend" to a gold toilet and rolling out a convincing "H-e-e-e-e-e-ere's money!"
Born Edward Leo Peter McMahon Jr. on March 6, 1923, in Detroit, McMahon grew up in Lowell, Mass. He got his start on television playing a circus clown on the 1950-51 variety series "Big Top." But the World War II Marine veteran interrupted his career to serve as a fighter pilot in Korea.
He joined "Who Do You Trust?" in 1958, its second year, the start of his long association with Carson. It was a partnership that outlasted their multiple marriages, which provided regular on-air fodder for jokes.
Career beyond 'Tonight'
While Carson built his career around "Tonight" and withdrew from the limelight after his retirement, McMahon took a different path. He was host of several shows over the years, including "The Kraft Music Hall" (1968) and the amateur talent contest "Star Search."
He was a longtime co-host of the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Association Telethon, a Labor Day weekend institution, and was co-host with Dick Clark of "TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes.
In 1993, he recalled his first meeting with Carson after they left "Tonight."
"The first thing he said was, 'I really miss you. You know, it was fun, wasn't it?"' McMahon recalled. "I said, 'It was great.' And it was. It was just great."
Besides his wife, Pam, McMahon is survived by children Claudia, Katherine, Linda, Jeffrey and Lex.
Bragman said no funeral arrangements have been made.
"see you out there"
Re: TV host Ed McMahon is dead at age 86
COLONEL ED HAS DIED
He wanted to be a Marine fighter
pilot. The US was building up their
military force, but they were not at war yet and the Navy required all its potential Navy and Marine pilots to have two years of college. So Ed started classes at Boston College.
When Pearl Harbor was attacked the Army
and the Navy both dropped the college requirement and Ed applied to
the Marines. His primary flight training was in Dallas and then he went to Pensacola, Florida. He was carrier qualified, which means he knew how to perform a controlled crash of his single engine fighter, onto the rolling deck of a Navy floating runway.
It took Ed almost two years to get through all the Navy flight training. His problem was he
was a very good pilot and the Marines needed flight instructors. He had a great command presence and public speaking ability, which landed him in the classroom, training new baby Marine pilots.
His orders to the Pacific fleet and the chance to fly combat missions off a carrier came in the
spring of 1945, on the same day the Atomic
bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Of
course his orders where changed. He never went to sea and he was out of the Marines in 1946.
Ed stayed in the USMC as a reserve officer.
He became a successful personality in the new TV medium, after the war. His Marine command presence helped. He was recalled to active duty during the Korean War. He never got to fly his fighter aircraft, but he saw his share of raw combat. He flew the Cessna O-1E Bird Dog, which is a single engine slow-moving unarmed plane. He functioned as an artillery spotter for the Marine batteries on the ground and as a forward controller for the Navy
& Marine fighter / bombers who flew in on fast moving jet engines, bombed the area and were gone in seconds. Captain Ed was still circling the enemy looking for more targets, all the time taking North Korean and Chinese ground fire.
He stayed with the Marines as a reserve officer and retired in 1966 as a Colonel.
The world knows Ed as Ed McMahon of the Johnny Carson, Tonight Show. One night I was watching the show when the subject of Colonel McMahon earning a number of Navy Air Medals came up. Carson, a former Navy officer, understood the significance of these medals, but McMahon shrugged it off, saying that if you flew enough combat missions they just sort of gave them to you. McMahon flew 85 combat missions over North Korea; he earned every one of those Air Medals. The casualty rate, for flying forward air controllers in Korea sometimes exceeded
50% of a squadrons manpower. McMahon was lucky to have gotten home from that war.
Once a Marine, always a Marine.
When the public was spitting (taking their personal safety into their own hands) at Marines on the streets of Southern California during Vietnam, Colonel McMahon was taking Marines off the streets and into his posh Beverley Hills home. I spoke to a retired Marine aircrew member the day Colonel McMahon died and he personally remembered seeing McMahon at numerous Marine Air Bases in California in the 1960s.
He was known for going to the Navy hospitals and visiting the wounded Marines and Sailors from this country's conflicts, even in the last years of his life.
Colonel McMahon presented awards and decorations to fellow Marines and attended many a Marine ceremony and the annual Marine Corps Birthday Ball. He stayed true to his Corps as a board member of the Marine Corps
Scholarship Fund and as the honorary
chairman of the National Marine Corps Aviation Museum. After retiring from the Marine Reserve, one night on the Johnny Carson show, members of the California Air National Guard came on stage.
Colonel McMahon was commissioned a Brigadier General in the Air Guard in front of millions of Americans who watched it happen live. You will not see anything like that on TV anymore.
The three core values of a United States
Marine are; honor, courage and
commitment. This is what a Marine is taught from the first day
of training and this is what that Marine believes. That was
Colonel Edward P. McMahon Jr. USMCR Retired. Before he was a
national figure he was a true combat hero and a patriot the nation
needed then and this country needs
Your war is over. Thank you Colonel
McMahon. Semper Fi sir.
Major Van Harl USAF Ret.

These are the men and women who make it their business to take action when disaster strikes. Not sure what a first responder does? Just think about 9/11 for a moment. That's really all you need to know. They're also on the scene of fires, car crashes, hurricanes and school shootings. Whether you've had your own emergency or not, chances are you've caught a glimpse of the dangerous and difficult work they do. National First Responders Day takes place on October 28 — a day to show gratitude to these everyday heroes.
The state approved a bill honoring every first responder.
Senators Elizabeth Warren and Tom Cotton, along with Representatives Mark Meadows, Michael Capuano and Elijah Cummings introduced a resolution to establish National First Responders Day.
Andrew Collier, brother of Sean Collier, an officer killed during the Boston Marathon bombing, helped establish a day of recognition.
Whether it's getting your family to write personalized thank you cards or baking some cookies to deliver, there are many ways to share your gratitude.
Research how to help finance equipment and resources for first responders. Help those who dare to risk it all.
Maybe you're looking to donate your own time and support. Don't feel the need to be a hero — just help when you can.
One hundred firefighters die in the line of duty each year.
An estimated 240 million 9-1-1 calls are made in the U.S. per year.
Emergency Medical Services takes care of 22 million patients a year.
Many might consider it their job, not realizing the risk first responders deal with every single time they step out on the front lines. It's likely America's most dangerous career.
Every day, first responders put others first because they want to serve their communities. On this day, they get to share joy with teammates and take a moment to feel appreciated.
Truth is there's not much we can do to pay back these men and women who risk it all for us. Honoring them on this day is a step.

The interested users can use the aptitude (or apt) package tool to perform the upgrade.
Debian GNU/Linux 8.8 brings along tons of security fixes to the stable Debian 8 release. The security advisories for many of these fixes have been already published by the project separately. Debian GNU/Linux 8.8 release also brings a few fixes for some serious problems.
The changes can be notably listed as package updates and fixes for Linux kernel, Binutils, and NVIDIA graphics drivers. On the announcement page, if you count the bug fixes, they turn out to be more than 60. On the security front, there are total 90 fixes.
Please note that Debian GNU/Debian 8.8 isn't a new version of Debian. It's just a Debian 8 image with the latest updates of some of the packages. So, if you're running a Debian 8 installation with all the latest updates installed, you don't need to do anything. "Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are included in this update," according to the release announcement.
What does this mean? This means that if you're having old jessie CDs or DVDs, you don't need to ditch them. After installing Debian using old images, you just need to install the updates.
The ISO files and other installation media links are yet to be published on Debian's servers. It should be available for download very soon.
Just in case you're looking for an upgrade, this could be done pretty easily by pointing Debian's aptitude (or apt) package tool to one of the FTP or HTTP mirrors. The list of mirrors can be found here.
So, are you planning to grab the Debian GNU/Linux 8.8 upgrade? Don't forget to share your views.

New Poll Says Majority of Mississippians Oppose the SCOTUS Decision to Overturn Roe
Polling shows 83% of Mississippi voters oppose criminal investigations or charges against women suspected of having an abortion
JACKSON, Miss. — A new poll conducted by Blueprint Polling on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi (ACLU-MS) shows that a majority of Mississippi voters oppose the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization to overturn Roe V. Wade.
Blueprint Polling surveyed 872 likely Mississippi votes between June 28, 2022, and July 6, 2022, using live agents to record responses. The margin of error is +/- 3.3%. Blueprint Polling weighted the results to reflect the age, race, and gender of the likely general election turnout.
The average Mississippian's view on abortion is not as clear-cut as some state lawmakers paint in their remarks. A slight majority of Mississippians actually disagree with the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade (51% oppose and 42 % support). In fact, only 18% of Mississippi voters want abortion to be illegal in all cases.
However, there is a divide between men's and women's views of the Court's ruling in Dobbs. Men support the decision by 48% to 44% (+4), while Mississippi women object to overturning Roe by 56% to 37% (-19).
The vast majority of Mississippians (83%) oppose criminal prosecutions or investigations of women for possibly having an abortion.
"Mississippians no longer have access to abortion care, forcing people to carry a pregnancy against their will or travel hundreds of miles to access the essential care they need," said Vara Lyons, Policy Counsel at ACLU of Mississippi. "It's clear that many of our voters' are not being represented the way they want to be represented. Our zip code should not reflect our access to abortion."
Regarding specific legislative proposals, 79% of Mississippians oppose Speaker Phillip Gunn's proposal to allow the state to collect medical records, including menstrual cycle dates and internet browsing history of anyone suspected of having an abortion.
Even higher, 86% of Mississippians oppose legislation allowing state officials or the police to monitor a woman's internet history to learn if she has visited an online pharmacy to order abortion pills.
Mississippians also want their lawmakers to take an actual conservative approach to contraception. A great majority of Mississippians, 71%, do not view emergency contraception, such as IUDs and Plan B, as methods of abortion.
"It is evident that Mississippi voters do not want the Legislature to further involve itself in regulating women's bodies," said Jarvis Dortch, Executive Director at ACLU of Mississippi. "Until now, the fight about outlawing abortion was a messaging or political game. Now, the Supreme Court has made this a real issue. We expect Mississippi legislators, mostly men, to take up bills that allow police to intrude greatly into the personal lives and health of women. This is no longer a game."
Instead of passing more abortion bills, Mississippi voters support laws that improve mothers' and children's access to healthcare.
Respondents strongly support expanding Medicaid (76%), and two-thirds of white voters agree. Additionally, support for Medicaid expansion crosses party lines, with 59% of Republicans backing the policy to provide health insurance to low-income Mississippians.
Despite Speaker Gunn preventing a vote on the issue, voters strongly approve of expanding postpartum health care coverage (76% to 20%). Strikingly, 59.2% of Republicans support extending postpartum coverage and 59.7% support full Medicaid expansion.

Paging: Gucci Saves Christmas
With Where the Wild Things Are safely enshrined in cinematic history, Gucci's filling the public imagination—and voids under Christmas trees everywhere—with a new children's book.
In honor of the fifth anniversary of the Gucci Campaign to Benefit UNICEF, Gucci creative director Frida Giannini commissioned author, illustrator, and Vanity Fair style director Michael Roberts to create Snowman in Africa, the colorful and creative story sequel to Roberts' 2004 Snowman in Paradise.
Presumably like the book's author and so many in the magazine industry, Roberts' snowman is looking to escape from the numbing grayness of New York when he's granted a getaway to Africa. Along the way, he comes dances with African masks and entertains hippos, and paints spots on his snowy form to be better disguised amongst leopards and cheetahs, but he never forgets the children of New York. It's a harrowing tale of social mobility and polite opportunism, told in a crisp cut-up style.
Until December 31, Gucci will donate 100% of the proceeds from Snowman in Africa to UNICEF, as well as 25% of any accessories and Gift Cards associated with the collection. The accessories include key rings, coin purses, and two versions of the medium sized Joy handbag with appliqués of Roberts' characters.
