How Kate Spade built her billion-dollar empire — and left it
Tumblr media

The fashion industry is mourning the loss of Kate Spade, one of America’s most beloved designers. On Tuesday morning, the Associated Press reported that Spade was found hanged, an apparent suicide, in her New York City apartment.
Spade was born Katherine Brosnahan in Kansas City, Mo., in 1962. She created her eponymous label in 1993 with her then-boyfriend — who later became her husband — Andy Spade (the brand is a combination of the founders’ names). The two met while at Arizona State University and neither studied fashion.
After graduation, the couple moved to New York City, where Kate started her career as an accessories editor at Condé Nast’s Mademoiselle magazine. Although Spade had an eye for fashion, she did not have a design background. Nevertheless, with a little push from Andy over dinner at a Mexican restaurant, she sought to make her handbag line a success — but it didn’t happen overnight.

“At the time, things were very — bags were too complicated. And I really loved very simple kinds of architectural shapes. And I would wear these very simple shapes, none of which were famous designers. I mean, there were no names. If someone were to say, whose is that? I’d say, I don’t know; I bought it at a vintage store, or it’s a straw bag I got in Mexico,” Spade told Guy Raz in the NPR podcast How I Built This.

Kate’s first handbag mockup was famously made of burlap. She took her first few prototypes to a trade show at the Javits Center in New York in 1993 and sold units to Fred Segal in Los Angeles and Barneys New York, arguably two of the most renowned fashion retailers in the nation. But the profits barely covered the costs for the booth. And two years of hustling later, the company still wasn’t turning a profit. 
However, things took a dramatic turn in 1996 after Kate Spade won the prestigious Council of Fashion Designers of America Perry Ellis award that brought international acclaim to the brand. More department stores, such as Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue, started ordering in bulk, which helped the brand out of the red. At the CFDA awards, “there were reporters from around the country, not just New York, at the show. They were saying, you know, oh, my — who is this?” Spade said to Raz in the NPR podcast. “And so that really, really helped us a great deal, I have to say.”

Soon after Kate’s CFDA win, her most iconic item, the Sam bag, known for its boxy shape and nylon material, became the “it” accessory of the ’90s. Spade’s decision to sew the inside logo on the exterior of the bag was a move the New York Times said helped create “a brand identity and her empire.”  
“The purses became something of a handshake,” said Wall Street Journal fashion reporter Christina Binkley to Racked. “When two women met and saw they were both holding Kate Spade bags, they’d nod at each other and understand they were on the same page. It was very chic.”
In part, its success can be attributed to Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour, who featured Spade’s bag in the magazine alongside European labels like Gucci. Celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts, and Monica Lewinsky became Kate Spade fans.
“Kate Spade had an enviable gift for understanding exactly what women the world over wanted to carry. She launched her label at a time when everyone thought that the definition of a handbag was strictly European, all decades-old serious status and wealth. Then along came this thoroughly American young woman who changed everything,” said Vogue editor in chief and Condé Nast artistic director Anna Wintour in a statement on Vogue.com.

To capitalize on the the company’s popularity, the Kate Spade brand started to grow, and in 1996 the label opened its first store on Thompson Street in Manhattan’s hip SoHo neighborhood. New York was equally important to the brand’s DNA as it was to Spade’s story. The city is where the brand was born, the company bares its name (the full name being Kate Spade New York), and it is where many of Spade’s first and most loyal customers lived.
Fans range widely in age, but to this day, scoring a Kate Spade as a teenager or young adult has largely been considered a rite of passage. “It seems like just yesterday I was running my fingers over the shelves where it was my job to rearrange the iconic nylon box bags,” wrote Stella Bugbee for the Cut. “The simple rectangular totes were a status symbol for chic downtown women at the time, and I sold so many of them, I lost track.”
Kate Spade bags were modestly priced between $150 and $450, making them not only aspirational but attainable. They hung in a sweet spot compared with the brand’s European counterparts. “The name held prestige, but it wasn’t off-putting,” as Robin Givhan told the Washington Post.

It was also Spade’s personal quirky sense of style, 1950s-style bouffant hair, and cheerful smile that added a lot of joy to the label. This infectious energy resonated with consumers, with many connecting with her Midwestern roots. Spade brought a vivid color palette, a playful charm, and feminine poise to her designs, making them highly covetable.

In 1999, Kate and Andy Spade sold 56 percent of their company’s shares to the Neiman Marcus Group for $34 million. In 2006, Neiman Marcus bought out the rest of the couple’s shares to sell the company to Liz Claiborne (owner of Juicy Couture & Lucky Brand Jeans), which would later change its name to Kate Spade & Co.

In 2007, Kate and Andy Spade would officially leave the multimillion-dollar brand they helped create, devoting more time to family and raising their daughter, Frances Beatrix Spade. But Kate’s vision and spirit would continue to drive the brand’s ethos long after her departure. Young, fresh-faced celebrities like Taylor Swift and Millie Bobby Brown carried on the funky aesthetic into the next generation, wearing it on the red carpet and being snapped by paparazzi wearing the brand’s designs.
In 2016, nearly 10 years later, the duo would return to fashion, launching a brand-new shoe and handbag label called Frances Valentine.
“Frances is a longtime family name on my dad’s side,” Spade told WWD in 2015. “My grandfather, father, brother, and my daughter’s name is Frances. And then Valentine was my mom’s dad’s middle name because he was born on Valentine’s Day.”

Kate too would come to love the name Valentine so much that she changed her surname to Valentine. She explained the name choice to the Business of Fashion in 2016: “It kind of makes [me] sound kind of cool, like a rap star or something,” she joked. “But we’re not trying to be cheeky or coy. It really was to distinguish the name and separate the two worlds. Obviously we’re super proud of Kate Spade, and we want to be respectful of both.”
In 2017, Kate Spade & Co. sold to Tapestry, Inc. (parent company to Coach and Stuart Weitzman) for an astounding $2.4 billion.

Among other things, Kate Spade will be remembered as one of the first major female American designers, one who helped pave the way for other industry successes like Jenna Lyons (formerly of J.Crew), Tory Burch, and Cynthia Rowley.

AFC West stock watch: Frank Clark is showing out for Chiefs
KANSAS CITY, MO – DECEMBER 15: Frank Clark #55 of the Kansas City Chiefs rushes the quarterback in the fourth quarter against the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium on December 15, 2019 in Kansas City, Missouri. (Photo by David Eulitt/Getty Images)
The Kansas City Chiefs appear to be peaking at the right time, while the rest of the AFC West is settling in for the long winter ahead.
Remember when the Kansas City Chiefs were stubbing their collective toes around midseason?
We thought maybe there would be some intrigue in the AFC West. Yeah, that was a while ago.
Week 15 was another December reminder that the AFC West is assembled by the Chiefs and a bunch of no-shows.
The Chiefs are playing elite football and have to be considered among the handful of true Super Bowl-winner contenders. Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers flailed, as usual, in Week 15 and the Raiders? Well, they forever put an entire city in a foul mood.
As we head to Week 16, let’s look at the risers and fallers in the AFC West:
Risers
The Chiefs in bad circumstances: The Chiefs are rolling – in any type of situation. In Week 14, Kansas City had to deal with the equipment of several players getting to the stadium late. Yet, they went out and beat the New England Patriots on the road. Then, in Week 15, there was a major snowstorm in Kansas City, causing several players to arrive to the stadium late because of road conditions. Then, in a snowstorm, the Chiefs easily dispatched the Broncos. This team is getting hardened for the postseason, no matter where they play, or, in what circumstances, the games are played in.
Frank Clark: The Chiefs’ star defensive end played well and played a lot in the win over Denver on Sunday. He has been dealing with a stomach issue that caused him to shed considerable weight. The Chiefs are confident he is getting to the point where he can soon be at full strength, which will be a huge boost for a defense that has been rolling.
Terrell Suggs: The pass-rusher has to be thrilled. Yes, we all understand why he may want to have gone back to Baltimore after being cut by the Arizona Cardinals. But he has to be tickled the Chiefs claimed him Monday. He gained six victories in the standings and a division title. Suggs can help the Chiefs win their first Super Bowl in 50 years and the second of his fabled career with his pass-rush ability down the stretch.
Tumblr media
  Fallers
Raiders’ memories: It was supposed to be so much better than what it was. The final memory in the Oakland Coliseum wasn’t supposed to be fans booing quarterback Derek Carr as he went to say goodbye in the Black Hole. It wasn’t supposed to be the sight of food being thrown on the field. It wasn’t supposed to be angry fans getting arrested on the field. But after the Raiders blew a16-3 lead with 20 minutes remaining to lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the final seconds, that was the goodbye the Raiders and their passionate Oakland fans had. For a team that has been miserable for most of this century and one that has fallen apart in the last month, this ending was so raw and painful even Oakland fans couldn’t believe it. Von Miller’s mood: After losing to the Chiefs, Miller talked about the pain defeats like that do to his soul. Many people read it as Miller being ready to leave Denver, a team he has been an all-time player and Super Bowl MVP for. This week, Miller made it clear that he doesn’t want to leave Denver, but he hates the losing. That’s fair.
Chargers’ cool point differential: The Chargers followed up their best day of a lousy season, a huge Week 14 win at Jacksonville, by going home and getting blown out by Minnesota, 39-10. Now, the Chargers’ point differential is just 9. Still, it’s wild that a 5-9 team has a plus point differential. Let’s see if the Chargers can improve it this week at home against the Raiders.

Are Black Lives Matter Being Honest?
If you have the patience to listen to Black Lives Matter for more than a single minute, you’ll find a repeated theme the whole way across their campaign: ‘Blacks have to fear for their lives because white people want them dead’.
So for such a victimized group who are being terrorized and hunted down by white people, surely this purge of black Americans by the evil whites would be quite evident, right? Well, let’s find out.
Here’s the list of victims of interracial killings involving innocent blacks and innocent whites in just the past five months of 2017 alone. We’ll start with white on black homicide first so we can understand where Black Lives Matter’s argument comes from:
White on black:
On March 5th, Steven Fletcher was stabbed to death in his home in Great Falls, MT. His white girlfriend has been charged with the murder.
On March 20th, Timothy Caughman, 66, was stabbed to death in NYC. A white male turned himself in and confessed to the murder afterward.

Fockler’s stepson Bailey was killed execution style while he laid in his bed. Fockler’s wife only survived because he shielded her with his own body.

The media likes to downplay black murderers because it’s so common and it would also harm the whole narrative of blacks primarily being the victims of murderous white supremacists. As you can see, this just isn’t the case. These incidents are only from January to mid-June this year alone. Can you remember any of these murders being hyped all over the media and throughout the political sphere and leftist activism, apart from the first few white on black murders? How about the several hundred black on black homicides so far in 2017? How about the staggering black on white rape rate? Silence.
Black youth are in danger but it’s not white people killing them. And no, white police officers aren’t killing them either. Evidence proves black and Hispanic police officers are far more likely to fire a gun at blacks than white officers and let’s also remember, when you commit majority of the crime, you are putting yourself in direct confrontation with police.
Despite making up just 13% of the population, blacks have committed half of homicides in the United States for a straight 30 years. In 2012, black people, at just a fifth of the size, committed almost 1,000 more murders than their white counterparts. It would take the police 40 years to kill as many black men as have died at the hands of others black men in 2012 alone. Blacks are 18.5 times more likely to kill cops than be killed by cops.
Yet, Black Lives Matter continue to use the ‘White people are killing us for no reason! Cops are killing us for no reason!’ propaganda which has fueled the anti-white and anti-police trend all across the country. They publicly justify the murder of law enforcement and applaud and celebrate as white people are attacked and harassed.
Here they are chanting in unison for cops to be killed. Here they are chasing white people to beat them. Here they are laughing and dancing after police officers were massacred in Dallas by a black sniper. Here they are beating a white guy and stealing his car. Here they are chasing and severely beating a white man. Here they are kidnapping and torturing a white guy. Here they are dropping a cement block on an officer’s head. Here they are cutting a fire hose while firefighters tried to save a store that other protesters had just torched for fun. Here they are shooting 17 rounds into a police officer’s home.
All of this is justified by BLM and its white supporters, because “black people are being hunted by racist whites” and “they have every right to react with violence and for wanting whites and police to be removed.” Which has also sparked anti-white reactions all throughout our campuses, as black students feel ‘unsafe’ around white people and no-whites spaces have been provided, whites aren’t allowed to graduate with black students and more black teachers and staff are demanded to replace white people. And they want to call us racist for not supporting Black Lives Matter? Lol fuck.

Joe’s Weather Blog: We may see more snow by mid month (MON-11/4)
Got to enjoy some pretty nice weather this weekend in the KC area…lots of sunshine and pleasant (near average temperatures). The story for this week will be the up and down temperatures…we should be in pretty good shape (still cool) through Wednesday but then colder weather is on tap for 48 hours before we rebound again over the weekend.
There is actually a chance of seeing some flakes of snow on Thursday associated with the next shot of colder weather…and the models are sniffing something towards Veterans Day that I’ll pay attention too. No signs of any big storms though…perhaps just more casual flakes.
Forecast:
Today: Cloudy skies with perhaps a few sprinkles. Highs in the 50-55° range
Tonight: Clearing out and chilly with lows in the 30-35° area.
Tomorrow: Mostly sunny and cool with highs in the 50s
Wednesday: Could be a bit warmer with highs near 60° ahead of our next front with more sunshine
Discussion:
We’re starting the day with a lot of clouds in the Plains region…these clouds will be gliding through the skies during the day today. The models have been trying to generate some rain from this mostly mid-level moisture for the last 18 hours or so but I”m pretty skeptical of anything but perhaps some sprinkles. This is one of the days where radar will be detecting falling raindrops aloft…farther from the radar site but in reality little to nothing is actually reaching the ground.
This occurs because the radar beam, as it goes farther from the radar site…goes in a straight line…but since the earth is curved…the beam starts to hit the clouds higher in the sky.
This gives you a rough idea how far away the beam gets..then how high up the beam is shooting in the atmosphere.
25 miles = 1800 ft up 50 miles = 4500 ft up 75 miles = 8100 ft up 100 mlies = 12,600 ft up 125 miles = 18,000 ft up 150 miles = 24,300 ft up 175 miles = 31,500 ft up 200 miles = 39,700 ft up
This is one of the reasons folks up in northern MO and NE MO are sort of in this weird black hole when it comes to radar coverage. By the time the beam gets towards the IA border from Pleasant Hill, MO…it’s up there at close to 9,000 feet! We don’t see what’s happening below that altitude.
So here is radar from Peasant Hill…
Tumblr media
Now when you see precip detected…you have to confirm this through the radar in Topeka…
Tumblr media
For the situation today…what you see on one radar MAY not be confirmed on the other radar…
The reason is that most of the drops falling are evaporating before they make it to the ground…we call this VIRGA.
Simple explanation why…and to explain that we need to look at the balloon sounding data from the morning taken at Topeka.
As the balloon goes up through the atmosphere it’s taking a variety of weather observations…and relaying that data back to the ground.
In the snapshot of the atmosphere below…the red line is the temperature trace and the green line is the dew point trace. For the purpose of this discussion…the closer the lines are together….the more saturated the air is…the father apart…the drier it is.
Tumblr media
    The blue numbers on the left are the pressure of the atmosphere expressed in millibars…somewhat more complicated. For the purpose of this though…850 mb is about 5,000 feet…700 mbs is about 10,000 feet and 500 mbs is about 18,000 feet.
So the air above us dries out considerably at around the 700 mb level…around 10,000 feet…and lo and behold when I looked at the KCI cloud observation just now…the base of the clouds is around 11,000 feet up.
What all this means is that the rain drops…but really snow flakes above us that are there…indicated by the saturation to the left of the freezing line are evaporating as they fall through the dry air (for the most part) below 10,000 feet. So as long as that dry later below 10,000 feet holds…it will be tough to get a lot to actually make it to the ground itself.
So now you know…
It will be a subject of conversation through the winter season…especially with weak storms and weaker winter scenarios.
The snow scenarios that I mentioned to start the blog are weak set-ups. Thursday colder air will seep into the area early in the day…IF there is some remnant moisture hanging around there could be some snow flakes…not overly concerning.
Then we’ll watch Sunday into early Monday early time frame as another strong cold front may come into the area…we’ll see if there is any moisture for it to work with with the cold air coming in.
VERY iffy for both scenarios and really just something that I’m watching right now.

227's™ TRAGEDY ALERT! #SPADE'Spicy' Kate Chili' Spade dead by Suicide Hanging! Fashion News NBA! Kate Spade, Whose Handbags Carried Women Into Adulthood, Is Dead at 55 #Macys #Nordstrom #Walmart'Spicy'Tunes #Nike'Spicy'Tunes Spicy' NBA Mix!
Tumblr media
The American fashion designer was found dead in her Manhattan apartment on June 5, 2018. Ms. Spade was known for her bold, colorful and classy aesthetic. She was 55. The designer Kate Spade, who created an accessories empire and whose handbags became a status symbol and a token of sophisticated adulthood for American women, was found dead on Tuesday. One of the first of a powerful wave of American female designers in the 1990s, Ms. Spade built a brand on the appeal of clothes and accessories that made women smile. Her cheerful lack of restraint and bright prints struck a chord with her consumers, many of them cosmopolitan women in the early stages of their careers. She embodied her own aesthetic, with her proto-1960s bouffant, nerd glasses and playful grin. Beneath that image was a business mind that understood the opportunities in building a lifestyle brand, almost before the term officially existed. The police said Tuesday that Ms. Spade, 55, was discovered unresponsive at a Park Avenue apartment, where she had hanged herself in her bedroom. She was pronounced dead at the scene at 10:26 a.m. She left a note, but the police chief of detectives, Dermot F. Shea, declined to comment on what it said. ADVERTISEMENT “It appears at this point in time to be a tragic case of apparent suicide,” he said. “It is early in the investigation.” A housekeeper found Ms. Spade, the police said. She was unconscious, and the housekeeper called 911. “We are all devastated by today’s tragedy,” the Spade family said in a statement. “We loved Kate dearly and will miss her terribly. We would ask that our privacy be respected as we grieve during this very difficult time.” [If you are having thoughts of suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 (TALK) or go to SpeakingOfSuicide.com/resources for a list of additional resources.] Image Kate Spade in her showroom in 1999.CreditMarilynn K. Yee/The New York Times Katherine Noel Brosnahan was born in Kansas City, Mo., in December 1962, to an Irish Catholic family. Her father worked in construction while her mother took care of her and her five siblings. She did not grow up obsessed with fashion — though she enjoyed combing through her mother’s jewelry drawer — and thought early in her life about being a television producer. While a student at Arizona State University, she worked in a motorcycle bar and a men’s clothing store, where she met her husband-to-be, Andy Spade, the brother of the actor and comedian David Spade. She graduated in 1985. ADVERTISEMENT After graduation, the couple moved to New York where Ms. Spade became an assistant fashion editor at Mademoiselle magazine. Within five years, she was the accessories editor. While in that role, she became frustrated by the handbags of the era, which she found to be gaudy and over-accessorized. What she wanted was “a functional bag that was sophisticated and had some style,” she later told The New York Times. In 1993, she founded Kate Spade with Andy and a friend, Elyce Arons. Joe Zee, the former creative director of Elle and former fashion director of W, met Ms. Spade before she started her company. “She told me she was thinking of starting a handbag line in that carefree, excited way she had,” he said. In particular, he remembered her spirited manner, the way she always spoke colorfully, “with excitement and a smile. And as a kid starting out in fashion, that was something you remember especially when everything was so serious and all about deadlines and the pressure of perfection.” She did not know what to call the company at first and decided to make it a combination of her and Andy’s names. (The couple married in 1994). After the first show, she realized that the bags needed a little something extra to catch people’s eyes. She took the label, which originally had been on the inside of the bag, and sewed it to the outside. With that gesture, she created a brand identity and sowed the seeds of empire. Within a few years, she had opened a SoHo shop and was collecting industry awards, her name a shorthand for the cute, clever bags that were an instant hit with career women and, later, young girls, status symbols of a more attainable, all-American sort than a Fendi clutch or Chanel bag. Ms. Spade became the very visible face of her brand and paved the way for female lifestyle designers like Tory Burch and Jenna Lyons of J Crew. In 1998, the year before the Spades sold their shares of the company to the Neiman Marcus Group, it had $28 million in sales.

She and Mr. Spade, Mr. Silverberg said, understood “how to reach an audience without alienating a consumer. Katie’s from Kansas City — a quintessential American look and values personified everything they did.” The company continued to change hands over the years. Neiman Marcus Group sold the company to Liz Claiborne, Inc. in 2006. By the time Kate Spade & Company (as the former Liz Claiborne, Inc. eventually came to be known) was acquired by Coach, Inc. in 2017, Mr. and Ms. Spade had been gone for more than a decade, having left to devote themselves to other projects. A spokeswoman for Kate Spade New York said in a statement that while “Kate has not been affiliated with the brand for more than a decade, she and her husband and creative partner, Andy, were the founders of our beloved brand. Kate will be dearly missed. Our thoughts are with Andy and the entire Spade family at this time.” ADVERTISEMENT Ms. Spade dedicated herself to her family and to philanthropy, through the Kate Spade & Company Foundation, which is devoted to economic equality for women. In 2016, together with her husband, Ms. Arons, and Paola Venturi, a Kate Spade alum, launched a new venture, an accessories label called Frances Valentine. Ms. Spade was so committed to the project that she told interviewers she had changed her surname from Spade to Valentine. Mr. Zee said he always admired Ms. Spade for being ahead of her time. “She knew what the fashion world needed before we did,” he said. “Kate just did what she felt was right, regardless of what the industry would think.” 442 Comments The Times needs your voice.

Undocumented Molecular Biologist Syed Jamal is Back in Missouri; Kansas Congresswoman Proposes Bill to Help Him
Three days after he was sent to Hawaii by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, undocumented molecular biologist Syed Ahmed Jamal is now being held in the Platte County, Missouri, jail, about 25 miles north of Kansas City. Change.org has launched a fundraiser to help stop the deportation of Jamal, seen here with his three children. (Jamal family photo)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Attorneys for a Kansas man fighting deportation to Bangladesh say he has been returned to Missouri.
Rekha Sharma-Crawford, Indian American attorney for 55-year-old Syed Ahmed Jamal, posted on Facebook Feb. 14 afternoon that he was being held in the Platte County, Missouri, jail, about 25 miles north of Kansas City. The post did not provide any other details.
It’s the latest move in a deportation fight that began Jan. 24, when Jamal was arrested at his home in Lawrence. He was held in Missouri jails until being taken to a detention center in El Paso, Texas. Immigration officials put him on a plane back to Bangladesh Feb.12. After a federal judge issued a temporary stay, Jamal was taken off the plane when it stopped to refuel in Hawaii.
Jamal has lived in the U.S. for 30 years with his wife, who is also from Bangladesh, and three children who are U.S. citizens.
Republican Rep. Lynn Jenkins has introduced legislation that would help the father who is fighting efforts by the U.S. to deport him to Bangladesh.
The bill that Jenkins introduced Feb. 13 would provide for the “relief” of 55-year-old Jamal. In a statement to 13 NEWS, the Republican congresswoman’s office said she has been talking to ICE, U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services, and other federal agencies ever since Jamal’s family reached out to her office.
“She is urging ICE to allow Mr. Jamal to return to his family while this process continues and is hopeful that an appropriate solution can be reached for a man who has spent 30 years here and is well respected and valued in the Lawrence community,” it continued. (Read full statement below.)
U.S. immigration officials put Jamal on a plane bound for his native country Feb. 12 before an immigration panel granted a temporary stay in the case. His attorney, Sharma-Crawford, said he was taken off the flight when it stopped to refuel in Honolulu.
Sharma-Crawford says government attorneys have indicated they’re coordinating efforts to bring Jamal to the Kansas City area.
Jamal has lived in Kansas for 30 years and has worked as an adjunct professor and researcher. Jenkins says her “heart aches” for his wife and children.
Jenkins’ full statement on Syed Ahmed Jamal:
“Congresswoman Jenkins has been actively engaged with ICE, USCIS, other federal agencies and his family on this matter from the moment Mr. Jamal’s family contacted our office. Meanwhile, she has worked with Congressman Cleaver to explore potential legislative options to assist Syed and his family. One such solution is a private bill, which Congresswoman Jenkins filed yesterday evening. She is urging ICE to allow Mr. Jamal to return to his family while this process continues and is hopeful that an appropriate solution can be reached for a man who has spent 30 years here and is well respected and valued in the Lawrence community.”
India-West had previously reported that Jamal was arrested in front of his home as he was preparing to take his daughter to school Jan. 24. As his young daughter watched, Jamal was led away in handcuffs and initially taken to the Morgan County detention center in Versailles, Missouri, Jan. 24. Later that week, he was transferred to the ICE detention center in West Texas. (see earlier India-West story here: http://bit.ly/2BIpZqT).
An immigration judge granted Jamal a temporary stay of deportation Feb. 8; a day later, the Department of Homeland Security filed a motion to rescind the temporary stay of deportation. Jamal continued to be held in ICE custody.
Jamal holds graduate degrees in molecular biosciences and pharmaceutical engineering, and currently serves as an adjunct professor of chemistry at Park University in Parkville, Missouri. He has no criminal history.
In 2012, India-West noted, former ICE director John Morton issued a “prosecutorial discretion” memo, which authorized agents to prioritize deportations to those who posed an immediate danger to the country. Jamal was allowed to remain in the country, and was issued a work permit, with directives to check in periodically with ICE.
But despite the Morton memo – which has not been rescinded – Jamal was arrested, though his attorneys said he posed no danger to his community or the country.
“ICE Acting Director Thomas Homan has made clear that ICE does not exempt classes or categories of removable aliens from potential enforcement,” noted the agency in an e-mailed statement forwarded to India-West.
Jamal’s brother told India-West that his brother came to the U.S. in 1987 to study at the University of Kansas. After his F-1 student visa expired, he went to Canada to get another F-1 visa, which was possible in those days, he said. He then returned to Bangladesh to secure an H-1B visa and worked for a few years before he was laid off, and had 60 days to leave the country. Jamal, who by this time had married and become a father, remained in the U.S. without immigration status.
Jamal’s wife, who came with her husband on an H-4 visa, lost her status when her spouse did. She also faces deportation, leaving the children at risk of being placed in foster care.

Talk about the winter weight gain has been making the rounds lately especially after Chicago had a taste of the polar vortex that left the city reeling from temperatures dropping into negative temperatures of high 40s. Residents of retirement communities in Kansas City, KS may also be feeling the winter blues as winter storms have been hitting the city hard this year.

Aging is a natural process in life, and while starting the conversation is hard, everyone goes through the same stage so it is neither embarrassing or trivial. If anything else, it is a very important topic especially if one’s parents’ health is already declining that they need assistance in their day to day routine. You may keep on putting it off at the thought that they can manage themselves and talking them into assisted living may mean not seeing them as much as you do now. However, know that you are helping them out and making their lives better in helping them transition in a new phase in their life. Below are some tips and guidelines to help you get the conversation started with your loved ones.

In recent years, seniors are increasingly becoming the targets of scams and other fraudulent activities. Retirees nowadays are more well-off compared to those of the past generations.  In fact, United Income reports that the average wealth a retiree holds has risen by more than 100 per cent to almost a quarter of a million dollars. Majority of their assets are also liquid making it easy for them to access it whenever they need it. While this is great, the downside of the fast access to cash makes them a vulnerable target of scammers. Dorothy Lambing from Louisiana are among the cases, who unfortunately lose valuable assets to fraudsters. Dorothy received a notice saying she won thousands of dollars and can only claim them if she sends them $2,500 as processing fee. This is just a small fraction of the $3 billion stolen from seniors each year, as the Justice department estimates.

7 killed in 4 days: Kansas City deadly shootings spike
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The city is dealing with a spike in deadly shootings after seven people were killed by gunfire within a four-day period.
On May 2, police were called at around 7:30 a.m. to 24th and Van Brunt. They found a 24-year-old man shot in a car, and two more shooting victims, a 24-year-old and a juvenile, inside a home. Two of the three victims died from their wounds in the hospital. Their names are Terence Rodgers and Frederick Tolbern.
On May 3, officers were called to a shooting around 5 a.m. to East 80th and Michigan near the Paseo. There, they found an 18-year-old Mauricia Strother shot in a vehicle. She died several days later at the hospital.
On May 4, police responded at 5:30 a.m. near East 3rd and Oak Street to a shooting in the River Market. They found a 41-year-old Charles Shirley shot to death in a vehicle outside of the Cold Storage Lofts.
On Tuesday night, May 5, a man led Independence police on a chase into Kansas City. The chase ended in a shootout near 9th and Bales, where one person died. The person’s name has not been released.
Finally, on May 6, police were called to two shootings starting at 2:45 a.m., where two men were shot and killed just blocks apart. The first shooting happened at the Quick Shop off Hardesty and Winner, where responders pronounced a man dead at the scene. The second shooting happened at Winner and East 12th Street, where a man was found dead in his apartment. Their names have not been released.
The string of shooting deaths happened after police chief Rick Smith wrote that violent crimes have been undeterred by the stay-at-home order. While property crimes have gone down, homicides and domestic violence cases have gone slightly up.
The Kansas City Police Department reports there has been 55 citywide homicides as of May 8, seven more than there were the same time last year.
