Home News Chiefs' Super Bowl run 'like Christmas' (and Royals' big win) all over again for KC apparel startups
Chiefs' Super Bowl run 'like Christmas' (and Royals' big win) all over again for KC apparel startups

The Chiefs heading to the Super Bowl isn't just a good look for the team — it's a win for small business owners as excited Kansas Citians buy local to keep the party going, said Mark Launiu.

"I was really stoked for the city obviously, but I just texted my friends like, 'Man, if you haven't started a business yet, I'd just highly recommend it,'" said Launiu, owner of MADE Urban Apparel. "It's a beautiful time to be an entrepreneur in Kansas City right now. You've got to catch the wave now. This is just going to be a huge help for everyone in the city for years to come."
Kansas City pride in the Chiefs is swelling the love for all things local — a ripple effect that echoes what founders saw from enthusiastic customers following the Kansas City Royals' championship win four years ago, he said.
"In 2013, our clothing brand had just started and it was a hard time. The Royals going to the World Series in 2015 really boosted our sales because the more we played off the idea of the Royals — people were just so happy and were going crazy for it," Launiu added. "Now that in the last few years the Chiefs have been doing very well, a lot of businesses have eaten a lot from that as well. It's like Christmas all over again."

Bumping up 'a couple levels of fandom'
The national spotlight on Kansas City can reinvigorate city spirit in locals and bring attention to the non-sports related amenities to the area, said Keith Bradley, co-owner of Made in KC.

"Whether it's the excitement of seeing Kansas City profiled on national coverage for the SuperBowl or having national [media] correspondents come in and do profiles on our best barbecue restaurants or coffee places and all the other things that make Kansas City great that aren't sports related … that re-energizes the city," said Bradley. "It re-energizes everybody to take another look at their city."
An achievement like a run for the Super Bowl championship can change and heighten a person's view of the city in a great way, he added.
"It sort of moves everyone up a couple levels of fandom," Bradley said. "A casual sports fan will become a much more loyal fan or an engaged fan and that has ripple effects that lasts until the next couple of years or that person's lifetime — and then is tied intricately with the city of Kansas City itself.
"So there's [along with that] knowing that when there is a big event like this in the city — we've built up a really great customer base that comes to us looking for ways to commemorate it," he added. "So we continue to plan on having new stuff in our shops for customer to purchase and get excited about."
Flexing an extra creative muscle
The excitement pushes Kansas Citians back into the community, said Dan Mahaney, owner of Normal Human , and that too can help small businesses.
"It's goes a long way in getting people more in the habit of getting out of the house, seeing their friends, going to bars to watch the games. … You're also just in general seeing more people in the store or online, like people who maybe didn't know about you," said Mahaney. "Even if they don't care about football or sports or whatever, they might see something else you offer and go for that or just start following you on social media — that's huge benefit."
Normal Human
Another layer in the hype comes from designers finding creative ways to appropriate the Chiefs' colors or football-themed shirts, he said.
"There's a lot of benefits to it because the employees are excited to flex an extra muscle that they may not [typically] get to and there's a lot of positivity around how that affects our internal operations," Mahaney said.
For a marketplace like Made in KC, which features wares from a variety of artists in different styles, the self-expression from so many centered around a single event will be interesting to witness, added Bradley.
"[We're] in unique place right now," Bradley said. "Part of it is being ready and stocked, which is what we've been working on since [Sunday] night, and the other part is continuing to rely on the hundreds of artists that we work with that are [going to] express how they are feeling about this event through their own designs or certain products."
Chiefs fans across the country are joining the celebration and looking to commemorate it, Launiu added.
"We're shipping to Maryland and I'm like, 'What are we doing in Maryland?'" he said, laughing. "We just want to create dope stuff for everyone to be able to support the city wherever they're at, for people to wear it with pride and represent across the country."
Ready for the rush?
Preparing for that huge uptick started weeks in advance, but the fate of those designs just had to wait for game day, added Bradley.
"As a fan and a business owner I was definitely preparing for, hoping for, and praying nervously for that win," he said. "But even as a small business, we have a really great ability to be nimble with the artists that we work with… It's just a lot of constant communication. Immediately after the game, I was telling my business partners that my inbox is blowing up with people just excitedly going, 'Hey let's get this going.' So it was really a lot of back and forth."
KC Clothing Co.
For some, the win means more work and less play, said Geoff Miles, owner of the Kansas City Clothing Co.
"As a Chiefs fan, it's just a lot of fun. It's something that's great for the city. But now there's a lot of work to do and I couldn't really celebrate like I wanted to because I knew I had to get up and put orders in, put a rush on orders, and try to get product through," said Miles. "I also knew that all the other local companies and national companies are doing the same thing."
The apparel game then shifts to understanding how to set the brand apart from the many others looking to accomplish the same goal, he said.
"How do you not get too far out over your skis but also break the mold and do something creative … do something where you're not spending too much money and hurt yourself?" added Miles. "You gotta watch, being a small business. You gotta be smart about what you're doing and you just gotta figure out what makes sense for your brand."
Mahaney had been curating a "small bank" of ideas since the Kansas City team had begun to show promise in recent years, he said, noting the ease of printing in-house prevents stress about competition or time constraints — though the brand is planning to take their time to release new items.
"Our plan is to release a new design as soon as possible, but our biggest concern is putting out something we're proud of and that we think won't be done by any other local shop. That's about as much as we worry about competition," he said. "There's millions of people in KC who're going to want to celebrate with a new shirt, so there's generally plenty of room for different shops to be releasing items."
"[We] just want the Chiefs to get that final win and to make our fans happy with whatever we put out there," Mahaney added. "Sports success isn't something we can reliably count on as part of a business model, so we view these opportunities from a retail standpoint as icing on the cake."
'We just knew this was coming all season'
Being a wholesale-oriented brand with significant lead times on printing, KC Clothing Co.'s focus is expected to be on restocking and meeting the high demand during the time constraints associated with the lead-up to the Super Bowl, Miles said.
In playing it safe, the brand also had to place an unusual order — one that canceled if the Chiefs had lost Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, he said.
"Because we were planning ahead, we had to get in touch with our wholesale customers and saying, 'Hey can you place an order that will only go through if they win, but we need to get that now so that we can send it right away once we know for sure,''" he added.
MADE MOBB
For Launiu, there was absolutely no question about who would win the critical game, he said.
"It's crazy because we've been prepared for this. We just knew this was coming all season," Launiu said, noting that he has been an avid Chiefs fan from even before immigrating to the U.S. from the Samoan Islands.
"I just grew up really liking the Chiefs, but when I moved to the States, we lived in San Diego originally and [one day] we got a call from my aunt saying, 'Hey, I think it would be a better move for us to live in Kansas City because I don't feel like driving for 24 hours in San Diego … and my siblings just looked me at, kind of upset because my brother was a Broncos fan and my older brother was a 49ers fan," he said, laughing. "It's crazy that that was 25 years ago."
The theme behind MADE's Chiefs-centered apparel represents a "tour merch" aesthetic, dubbed, "Revenge Tour," Launiu explained, with the apparel signifying the Chiefs going throughout the season defeating all the teams that beat them in previous games.
"We might or might not have already made some Super Bowl [championship] merch but … I can't really speak on that right now," Launiu joked.

This commentary pretty much hits the nail on the head. The main reason for people to use OpenOffice over MS Office is not cost. The best reason is OpenOffice's open file format. This is the main reason that I now use OO instead of WordPerfect for most of my stuff. Even if OO would cease to exist, all you have to do is unzip the file and your content is a quick Perl script away. Word's DOC format is the main thing that locks people in. Changing it guarantees upgrades. I get sick to death of idiots people sending me DOC files with a paragraph and a half in it which would be about five times smaller as plain text. Thanks Slashdot.
Ars Technica is reporting that Microsoft's much-hyped WinFS filesystem has been delayed again. It was originally supposed to be in Longhorn (which has since been delayed), then in Longhorn Server, now it's pushed off into the nebulous future--at least until 2008. WinFS sounds like very cool technology, but with a development time this long and constant delays you have to wonder what it will turn out like. Unless, of course, MS just promoted it WAY early with very little, if any, usable code.

Why Apple Banned Sex Apps: We Were Getting Complaints From Women
Filed to:Apple
Over the past few days we've watched app after app after app become a casualty in Apple's gradual clean up of the App Store—a ban on nearly all titillating apps. Apple executive Phil Schiller finally explains what happened:
Apple Removes An Innocent Boob-Jiggling App From the App Store
Remember the Wobble iPhone app? It let you add some—ahem—rather realistic jiggle to your photos.…
It came to the point where we were getting customer complaints from women who found the content getting too degrading and objectionable, as well as parents who were upset with what their kids were able to see.
As those women ignore the existence of parental controls, Schiller continues to explain that Apple "obviously care[s] about developers, but in the end ha[s] to put the needs of the kids and parents first." Somehow that's supposed to help us understand why Sports Illustrated's and FHM's apps remain in the App Store:
When asked about the Sports Illustrated app, Mr. Schiller said Apple took the source and intent of an app into consideration. "The difference is this is a well-known company with previously published material available broadly in a well-accepted format," he said.
So the lesson is that as long as your parents and grandparents recognize the brand, it's acceptable wanking material? Or is it that if enough mums complain about fart apps then those too will be purged from the App Store?
As we've said before:
What's sad about this is that in Apple's early years, it was somewhat of a counterpoint to corporate computing for suits, by suits. They were supposed to make computers for people, by real humans. Founded by a man who asked potential employees when they lost their virginity as part of an interview. Today we have a company that has baby music in its commercials, like we're all 10 year old idiots who have never heard the word fuck—let alone have fucked—and need to be protected from little programs that may have breasts in them.
Then again, Steve Jobs knows his legacy and it isn't sex apps. It's great hardware and software.
But why the hell can't gadget porn and real porn coexist? [NYT via Tech Crunch]

The first blog entry for "My Walden" came directly from the first page of Thoreau's reflections, midway into his second paragraph in the first chapter "Economy". This second post which I hope you will truly take the time to explore, comes from paragraph three and four, ahhh… the incredible teachings, that like history we perpetuate and hit repeat.
As I sit here quietly on the deck of "My Walden", I am blessed to observe the playful shenanigans of two squirrels, a floating duck on a glass still pond and the chatting walkers' across the way who absorb a wee bit of nature while they mosey. The sun plays peek a boo through the clouds and the buzz of distant traffic reminds me that a very chaotic world exists beyond my sanctuary.
In the times of Thoreau and today, to be a land owner is celebrated; to "own" your home, property, a piece of the planet. I used to "own" a small morsel of land that cradled a little home. Of course I did not "own" it, the bank did and when the crash of 2008-2009 blazed through, I lost it.
At times I miss that place, however I am clear, it is not so much the home or the land I miss, it is the memories created there. The time shared with others, the experiences and rituals established with neighbors. "Losing it all" has given a perspective from which to reflect and explore. Is home ownership all that it is marketed to be? Hmmm.., I am not so sure, for one can easily become slave to the home, its upkeep and maintenance, the time and separation it creates from others. As Thoreau so wisely stated, is your home a place of celebration or penance? When you are lying on your death bed, will it be the home you remember and cherish, or will it be the times shared with others inside those walls that comfort you during your last breaths?
I am most certainly not against home/land ownership, I do however wish to question how your time is spent within the walls of such ownership. Does it line up with your passions, your dreams, your desires? Does it gift you with freedom to play, to connect, to be with those you love, doing what you love? Or does it begin the downslide to the digging of your grave? Is it a noose or wings?
We supposedly live in the "Land of the Free", yet all around me I observe like Thoreau a people doing penance. Living life for the tomorrows which never come. Waiting until…!! Then they find themselves alone, broke, and lying in a bed of regret. I continue to be grateful for the wisdom I gleaned from the patients I cared for in a nursing home during my early twenties. The stories they shared highlighted for me what was most important – the connection with others and living a life filled with passion and faith. There is value in learning from what resides in our rearview mirror, however, be careful that your history does not become your limiting belief/story. Celebrating our present moments with complete awareness guides us into our tomorrows full of inspired dreams.
Are you living a life full of passion, joy, love, and co-creating?
Are you burdened by the things you own, are they the ball and chain that keeps you stuck?
Are you waiting for tomorrow, or "when I have…" I will do this and go for that?
In closing I can say with certainty that we all have a few things in common – we were born, we will die, we all have 24 hours each day and our personal quality of life is directly tied to the choices we make in our present moments.
It echoes what you share, Dear Sister. Any time I make a purchase I ask myself…..does it serve a purpose? Or will it bring me joy? If I can answer yes to either, OK. But if it's for no real reason, then no need to have it.
What a great video!! And thank you for your comment and taking the time to share the video – a good one for us all :-).

We shared a serving of Eggs Benedict with spinach leaves. They were as bit like the recipe in the above link. but the leaves were not sauteed, which is all right by me. The hollandaise sauce that went with the poached eggs was just perfect, simply delicious!
We had also some flat white coffee, very good Campos coffee.
We thought to go to the Campos Cafe for Brunch in the Warrawong Shopping Centre was a good choice. We had left out car for service at the K-Mart Service Centre. This was at 9 o'clock in the morning. We thought we would use the time while the car was being serviced to go to the GALA Cinema. The movie we wanted to see was to start at 10 o'clock. That gave us one hour to have a bit of a bite before the movie started. The movie was "The Zookeeper's Wife".
Did you see 'Viceroys House'. We were going to see Zookeepers wife but did not so far. .
As far as The Zookeeper's Wife is concerned, I think it is not a feel good movie.

PENTAGON AND ITS TYPES
The Pentagon belongs to the group of polygons. A polygon is a two-dimensional geometrical shape that is made of straight lines. A polygon can be any two- dimensional shape. There are many examples of geometrical shapes that can be grouped under polygons such as triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon and nonagon. Every shape is named according to the number of sides it contains.

TYPES OF POLYGON
Triangle: A triangle has three sides, and the sum of its interior angles measuring 180 degrees.
Quadrilateral: A quadrilateral has four sides, and the sum of its interior angles is 360 degrees.
Pentagon: A Pentagon has five sides, and the sum of its interior angles is 540 degrees.
Hexagon: A Hexagon has six sides. and the sum of its interior angles is 720 degrees.
Heptagon: A Heptagon has seven sides, and the sum of its interior angles is 900 degrees.
Octagon: An Octagon has eight sides, and the sum of its interior angles is 1080 degrees.
Nonagon: A Nonagon has nine sides, and the sum of its interior angles is 1260 degrees.
REGULAR POLYGON:
In a regular polygon, the angles are all equal, and sides are also equal to each other. Its interior angles measure 108 degrees, and exterior angles measure 72 degrees. It has an area of 1.7204774 x s² approximately. Here "s" stands for equal-sided Polygon.
The general rule for a Polygon is that the sum of its interior angles is equal to 180 multiplied by (n-2) degrees, n being the number of sides – 180 x (n-2).
In a regular Polygon, the measure of each angle is equal to 180 degrees multiplied by (n-2) divided by n, where n is the number of sides – 180 x (n-2) / n.
PENTAGON :
A Pentagon consists of five closed sides. There are different types of Pentagon, namely Regular, Irregular, Concave and Convex Pentagon. When an additional side is added to an already existing Pentagon, then the addition of 180 degrees is added to the total sum. For example, when an additional side is added to a triangle of 180 degrees, it becomes a Quadrilateral (4 sides) with a sum of 360 degrees. The sum of all interior angles of a Pentagon is 540 degrees. There are five diagonals in it.
REGULAR PENTAGON
In a regular pentagon, the sides are congruent; that is, the sides are of the same length. The interior angles are also congruent, which means they measure the same angle.
In order to find the interior angles in a Pentagon, divide the sum of all the angles of the Pentagon by the number of angles.
Therefore, 540/5 = 180
This implies that the interior angle of a regular Pentagon is 108 degrees.
CENTRAL ANGLE: In order to find out the central angle of a regular Pentagon, there is a circle to be drawn in the middle of it. It is a well-known fact that a circle is 360 degrees around. Since the Pentagon has five sides, divide the 360 degrees by five.
Therefore, 360/5 =72 degrees.
This implies that the central angle of a Pentagon is equal to 72 degrees.

PENTAGON AND RIGHT ANGLE: It is understood that a Pentagon has five sides. Each interior angle of a Pentagon is 108 degrees. Therefore, It has no right angles. If a Pentagon has to have any right angles, then it has to be uneven because the sum of interior angles in a Pentagon is 540 degrees.
IRREGULAR PENTAGON
An irregular Pentagon has three right angles at most.
CONVEX AND CONCAVE PENTAGON
In a Convex Pentagon, all the vertices are pointed outwards, and in a concave pentagon, at least one of the vertices is pointed inside.
After reading this article you'll find that calculating the angles of a pentagon is not quite that difficult. It all comes down to knowing your concepts well and then you can easily solve any geometric problems.

Our trip down Memory Lane today is down Castle Street before the turn of the Millenium.
Back in the Summer of 1999, the main shopping street saw some major work carried out for a new surface to be laid.
This obviously involved a lot of disruption for shops and shoppers alike.


Many Australian's are red-flagged for not paying utility bills, skipping loan repayments or being made bankrupt.
The defaults are listed when a payment of $100 or more is at least 90 days overdue. They stay on file for five years and can make getting new credit a nightmare.
You could be experiencing the words "Sorry, you got a default" when they get rejected for a phone contract, or small loan. Often these default listings have not been correctly placed, or there is a legal question mark over some aspect of the listing. Sometimes there was simply a good reason why a bill wasn't paid.
The message is: There 'is' room to talk with your creditor.
Your credit is the most important factor a potential lender views when considering you for any type of loan or credit, and it can have a direct effect on your approval for the loan. Credit repair involves removing contestable listings and clearing bad debts from your credit report. Your credit report contains a complete history of your financial life. It is important to safeguard your credit report and to take steps toward improving it if it paints a less than favorable picture of you.
A credit report contains such details as addresses, past and current employment, defaults, clear-outs, bankruptcies, credit applications, judgments, and linked or crossed files. Simple actions like applying for a new credit card, signing a mobile phone contract or signing up for an interest-free offer at a store all appear on your credit report. All of these actions can also have serious effects on your credit report.
According to Veda Advantage, of the 14.7 million Australian credit files, over 3.47 million contain negative listings. Many negative listings are inaccurate, and these listings may be contested in order to repair an individual's credit. In fact, experts believe that as many as 40% of credit reports contain errors. However, most people know little about their credit report, and many have never even seen it. They do not understand that they have a right to access this information, and that they can also work to contest and remove negative listings.
Erroneous and disputable information on credit reports may include overdue accounts, judgments, multiple identities, and much more. By removing this negative and incorrect information, you can receive approval for more and better credit and loans as well reduce your interest rates, fees, and repayments. All of these can save you thousands of dollars. Therefore, if you have a bad credit report, it is worth it to attempt credit repair.
The first step in credit repair is to obtain a copy of your credit report. You should examine it for accuracy, noting any unfamiliar or incorrect information. Verify that the information is indeed incorrect, and then take steps to challenge it. This requires contacting the credit bureaus as well the various parties involved in contested listings. You will have to provide evidence that the listings are incorrect. This can be a long process with specific forms and procedures to follow. A good credit repair agency can assist you a great deal during this undertaking.
Once your credit report is accurate, bad debts may still remain in it. Credit repair agencies, debt consolidation companies, and providers of financial counseling can all assist you in continuing to repair your credit. By systematically organizing your repayments, developing a repayment schedule, and steadily following it over a long period of time, you can eventually pay back all you owe plus any accumulated interest. The repayment of your debts will be noted on your credit report. You can then establish a new and improved credit history through smart money management and the prompt payment of bills.


Summary: One little fish... could've changed a lot of things. But Sam's not going to risk what she's got, to fix a fish.
Sam sighed in contentment as she held the fishing rod and enjoyed the feeling of her old team back in place around her. O'Neill was next to her, also fishing. And Teal'c and Daniel were getting the drinks. In fact, she could hear them approaching behind her and she smiled. "This is great."
O'Neill sounded more than a little smug. "I told ya."
She sighed and looked out at the placid pond water. "I can't believe we didn't do it years ago."
"Yes, well, let's not dwell," O'Neill advised.
She chuckled, glancing at him. It was so much better to be around him in this sort of relaxed atmosphere, back in the old team frame of mind. The rest of the time lately she was all too aware that her CO was now a general and had a lot more on his mind than the team's latest mission.
But those were thoughts for another day. She turned her head again to watch the pond, just in time to see a small shimmering shape jump out of the water and splash back down.
She looked at O'Neill again, with a small frown. "Didn't that tape say there were no fish in your pond?"
He shrugged slightly. "Close enough."
She nodded, but inside, she wondered. The tape only had mentioned certain events. If the fish was different, what else was different that they didn't know about? They hadn't quite left the timeline untouched after all, that much was clear… But then she would never know how it had shifted, would she? So it didn't matter. They certainly weren't going to try again.
Her chair shook a bit as Daniel walked out onto the pier, and she turned to give him a smile of greeting.
Just then, her cell phone rang. It was in the bag by her feet, and the shrill tone did not appear to be muffled at all. She winced, then again as O'Neill glared at her. "Carter!"
"Sorry," she smiled sheepishly, but put her pole down and rooted for the phone anyway.
"No phones!" O'Neill admonished, wagging a finger of his free hand at her. "Turn it off."
She glanced at the number on the front display. "It's the base, sir." And she flipped the phone open. "Carter."
"Carter, this is Reynolds. Sorry to interrupt your vacation."
Reynolds was commanding the base in O'Neill's absence. He was probably the only one who was not Hammond or above who would dare call. She'd always liked Reynolds, since, like her, he could handle a gun and he knew enough science to understand what she was talking about in briefings. "No problem. Go ahead. The general's right here..." she ignored O'Neill's frantic shaking of his head and warding off gesture.
"No, no, you don't need to bug him," Reynolds assured her. "I have someone here who'd like to talk to you. Hold on a sec."
The next voice coming over the phone made her smile. "Hello, kiddo. I hear you're actually taking a vacation. Will wonders never cease?"
"Hi, Dad. What're you doing home?" she asked, carefully remembering the open line. She ignored O'Neill's expressive eye rolling by the expedient of getting to her feet and wandering back toward where Teal'c was sitting, with her phone stuck to her ear.
Jacob Carter answered, "Well, I've got some news. Some good, some not so good."
She froze, and gazed absently toward the cabin as she waited. "Oh? What?"
"The not so good news is that Sel's been ill," he answered carefully. "Not well at all. But a friend of ours on the council … one of our few friends, really, and the only one who's an expert at molecular biology …" she couldn't help a smile at this backhanded way of identifying Malek. Her dad went on, "He identified and countered a very subtle chemical compound that was interfering in Sel's ability to heal himself. If our friend hadn't been able to find the cure, well, let's just say we might not be having this conversation, Sam."
She bit her lip. "Then… I'm glad to hear it. And I'm very grateful to him, Dad. But what sort of compound? Where did you get it? Or are you talking some sort of poison?"
She was aware of Teal'c's head suddenly lifting to look at her, and even Daniel and O'Neill turning around to listen.
Jacob answered more hesitantly than she wanted to hear, "Well… we're not sure. It is natural, formed by volcanic activity. We might have picked it up when we were prisoners in that hellhole. Our mutual friend reports that a trace amount of the same chemical was found in Jolinar. But the concentration in Sel was much higher."
"Do you need me to come back?" she asked.
"No, no, that's okay," he assured her. "Enjoy your time off, Sam. I just wanted to let you know what was going on. I know you were a little concerned for us on Dakara. But we're okay."
"Are you sure?" she asked. "I could help find out how it happened… You wouldn't have come all the way here and told me this, without at least some part of you wanting me involved, right?"
In exactly the same tone, she mimicked, "Dad…" But then she realized there was something else. "You said you had some good news, too, or was that the antidote?"
"Well, not that Sel being cured isn't good news all on its own…" he began slowly. But she caught a tone in his voice that she remembered from many Christmases when he was milking the drama of some much-desired present.
"Dad! Just tell me," she demanded, wondering if she was always going to be six years old to her father.
"I think I'll let someone else do that," Jacob answered.
"Hey, you can't leave me hanging," she objected, but her dad didn't answer. She waited impatiently.
Then a different, deeper voice came to her ear. "Hello, Sam."
She knew that voice, despite a little distortion on the phone. Warmth blossomed in her chest and she couldn't help bursting into a grin. "You're back!" she exclaimed. Suddenly aware of her other friends well able to eavesdrop, she hurried up to the cabin, out of at least the general and Daniel's earshot. "Thank God. And you're all right?" she asked, in a sudden burst of concern.
"We are well. The mission was a success," he reported. "We would like to see you, but of course we understand if you would prefer to -- "
She cut him off. "I'm on the next plane, Martouf. I'll be home in less than twelve hours." She softened her voice, still smiling with sheer happiness and excitement. "I can't wait to see you. It's been so long, it seems like forever."
"To us as well," he answered then paused. "Jacob is giving me that look," he added with a smile in his voice. "I believe that is the signal to say goodbye."
She had to laugh, knowing that look very well. "All right. I'll see you soon. I love you."
"I love you also, Samantha. Keep well." It was still Martouf's voice, but she could tell by the 'Samantha' that it was Lantash now speaking. Clearly he had not wanted Martouf to do all the talking to her.
She pressed 'end' reluctantly and slid the phone in her pocket. Returning to the guys, she met three very curious stares.
"So, I take it Marty's mission is over?" O'Neill asked, though not as if it was much of a question.
She nodded. "So, thanks for the fishing, but I'm going back."
"All right," he waved and ostentatiously turned back to face the pond with pretended grumpiness. "Fine. I can see fishing with friends ranks somewhere below boyfriends with two brains."
She chuckled. Not for the first time, she was profoundly grateful that the general's experience with Kanan had shown him the courage of the Tok'ra. Otherwise, she hated to think what might have been. She explained, a little self-conscious, "Well, if he hadn't been gone for so long -- "
O'Neill turned back to look at her, and he rolled his eyes. "Carter, kidding! Jeez. Go, have fun, give him a kiss from us. Okay, maybe not that part," he reconsidered, wrinkling his nose. "Never mind. Say hi to Jacob. And when I get back I want to hear the details about Selmak getting poisoned. But not -- " he wagged a finger at her, "until my next three days of fishing are over. Understood?"
"Yes, sir," she answered smartly. "I'll go get packed."
"I will take you to the airport, Colonel Carter," Teal'c offered and stood.
As she and Teal'c walked back toward the cabin, she realized that she was the one this time who was breaking up the team this time. It gave her a little pang and she glanced back over her shoulder at O'Neill and Daniel, who had taken her chair and her pole.
But then, she turned back, a smile on her face that she couldn't suppress. Martouf was back from his mission, her dad and Selmak were home, her friends were safe, Anubis was overthrown, and everyone was healthy.
Nice to see that something good came out of the time travel.


While the Award Ceremony and Gala of the 3rdGolden Baklava Film Festival was held in the Hasan Kalyoncu University (HKU) Congress and Cultural Centre at a magnificent evening, university students who participated in the festival and ranked in the top places with their films were presented their awards in the gala evening.
The gala evening started with the opening speech. Having given the first opening speech, the HKU Chancellor Prof. Dr. Tamer Yılmaz addressed to an excited crowd. Following the Chancellor Yılmaz, the Deputy Chairman of the HKU Board of Trustees Halık Kalyoncu gave his speech. The last opening speech of the gala evening was given by the Gaziantep Metropolitan Mayor Fatma Şahin.
The films prepared in the "Fictional" and "Documentary" categories by the university students who participated in the festival traditionalised and organised for the 3rdtime in Gaziantep by HKU with 286 different films from all over Turkey were individually examined by the judges. In the festival of which panel of judges was presided by Hülya Koçyiğit, a legendary actress of Yeşilçam, and Engin Altan Düzyatan, the leading actor of the popular serial Diriliş Ertuğrul of the recent days, and Ömer Faruk Sorak, director of several films such as Vizontele, Gora, Aşk Tesadüfleri Sever, were members, the films ranked in the top three places in both categories were awarded by the panel of judges.
Ömer Faruk Sorak, who conversed with students in the first day of the festival which gathered the cinema lovers with a workshop programme which lasted two days, replied the questions from students and mentioned his background, the films he has shot and the difficulties he has experienced. The other members of the panel of judges Hülya Koçyiğit and Engin Altan Düzyatan, who met with students in the gala evening, replied the questions asked to them in cheerful words. Members of the panel of judges who enjoyed pleasant moments among the questions from students made recommendations to the young cinema lovers.
In the 3rd Golden Baklava Film Festival in which 286 films prepared by university students participated in the contest, the films advancing to the finals from among 13 semi-finalists consisting of 6 fictional and 7 documentary ones were assessed by the judges. Of the films so assessed, 4 fictional and 3 documentary films were entitled to advance to the final. In the evening in which films contested in two categories, a total of 7 films consisting of 3 documentary and 4 fictional ones were entitled to awards.
In the fictional film category, the best fictional film award went to the film "Kuyu" directed by Rıdvan Yavuz (Atatürk University) while the second award went to the film "Beyoğlu Sineması" directed by Ömer Faruk Özmen (Marmara University) and the third award was shared by two films and tow directors: "Birinci tekil Şahıs" directed by Mahmut Gülkanat (Beykent University) and "Asfalt" directed by Süleyman Demirel (Ankara University).
While the film "Gözyaşı Yolu" directed by Engin Türkyılmaz (Ege University) was awarded the first prize in the Documentary Film category, the second award went to the film "Natamam" directed by Özlem Şahin (Mersin University) and the third award went to the film "İpeğin 4300 Teli" directed by Celal Karasakal (Hasan Kalyoncu University).
Baklava, which is a trademark of Gaziantep, has become an important arts and culture trademark of HKU through the 3rdGolden Baklava Film Awards. Planned to be held every year and held for the third time this year, the festival has aroused great interest. While the Golden Baklava Film Festival was held with great interest and intensity, the judges were also presented presents. While Engin Altan Düzyatan received his present from the Chairman of the HKU Board of Trustees Haluk Kalyoncu, Hülya Koçyiğit was presented hers from Nevin Kalyoncu. The gala evening came to an end with a family photo.


If you are contemplating divorce in England please do not think all cases are the same. They are not. UK divorce laws are complicated. Each marriage is different from every other. Sometimes the differences are major and obvious. At other times they may be small but legally very significant.
We say this because almost every client comes to us with preconceptions about divorce. Those preconceptions are more often wrong than right. For example, people often say that, 'everything should be divided 50/50'. In our experience cases in which everything is divided 50/50 are in a tiny minority. There are so many circumstances which justify a departure from equality in dividing assets in divorce that it usually pays to take advice before committing yourself to that assumption.
Other common examples are people who think that financial matters need to be settled before even issuing a divorce petition, that in some way they need the co-operation of the other spouse to have a divorce or that 'unmarried couples rights are the same as married ones. Each of these assumptions is wrong and there are many more in the same vein.
Even if you are conducting a DIY divorce and want a quick divorce do take the trouble to inform yourself properly if you are thinking about divorce. Mistakes can be very expensive and you may not learn about them until years afterwards. You will find much information on this web site and a good place to start is the site index. But do remember that the information on this web site cannot cover everything. It covers those things that we find most people ask or which recur frequently but it is not exhaustive. And we cannot emphasise too much that each case is different.
Please continue for more general advice about divorce in England.
If you cannot find the answer to your question about divorce then by all means contact us by email and we do our best to answer or to try and point you in the right direction.
Do please email if you have any enquiry about anything divorce related. Divorce is the only type of work that we do.

ParkingEye Vs Beavis: Appeal dismissed
Parking CowboysPosted on April 23, 2015 Posted in blog, General, Parking companies
Today at the Court of Appeal, the judgement on the case of ParkingEye Vs Beavis was handed down. Lord Justice Moore-Bick, Lord Justice Patten, and Sir Timothy Lloyd decided that Barry Beavis' appeal is DISMISSED. On initial inspection, this is not great news for the motorist. Over the coming days it will be interesting to assess the findings of the judges.
Download the judgement here
However, the judges have allowed Barry Beavis to appeal the decision at the Supreme Court; the highest court of appeal in the UK for civil cases. Appeals are allowed to progress where they are of the highest public importance. It may take up to 2 years or more to get to a hearing, so it may take some time to settle the issue for good. Who knows, the next Government may step in and sort the industry before it gets that far….?
The forum poster Bargepole, who supported Barry through the case, has commented:
The COA have neatly sidestepped the fundamental question of the appeal, which was whether penalties could be commercially justified.
Instead, they have ruled that PE's charges should not be treated as penalties, and therefore unenforceable, because the level of charge is not 'extravagant and unconscionable' which they say is the true test of whether a clause is a penalty.
They also say that there are social, or public policy, reasons why the charges should be enforced, because if they were not, the spaces in the car park would become unavailable for customers. They also say that PE would suffer a likely loss of contract with the BA Pension Fund if they were unable to perform the contract with them. (The Armageddon scenario).
It is also stated that the contractual arrangements between PE and the landowner are irrelevant for the purposes of this decision, so that blows the 'fishing licence' argument out of the water.
They have also said that the signage most likely creates a bare licence rather than a contract, although it was not in their remit to rule on that, but in any event the outcome would have been the same.
Mr Hossain has prepared a submission requesting leave to appeal to the Supreme Court, Mr Kirk has made a submission opposing it, and the CA have sent in a statement supporting Mr Hossain's application.
So, as always, a topical tune to cheer us all up…
‹ Beavis decision out on Thursday!

Q: getting nyc/istanbul coverage report to work with typescript I'm struggling to get proper coverage with nyc/istanbul for my typescript/mocha/gulp project. I've tried a number of approaches, some of them seem to be unable to use source maps and other fails due to ts-node/tsc errors. My current setup is:
nyc relevant config in package.json
"scripts": {
    "test:coverage": "nyc npm run test:unit",
    "test:unit": "gulp mocha"
}
"nyc": {
    "check-coverage": true,
    "all": true,
    "extension": [
      ".js",
      ".jsx",
      ".ts",
      ".tsx"
    ],
    "include": [
      "src/**/!(*.test.*).[tj]s?(x)"
    ],
    "reporter": [
      "html",
      "lcov",
      "text",
      "text-summary"
    ],
    "report-dir": "docs/reports/coverage"
  }

gulpfile.js mocha relevant part
const SRC_DIR = path.join(__dirname, 'src');
const SRC_FILES = path.join(SRC_DIR, '**', '*.[jt]s?(x)');
const TEST_FILES = path.join(SRC_DIR, '**', '*.test.[jt]s?(x)');
const MOCHA_CONFIG = {
    src: [
        TEST_FILES
    ],
    watchSrc: [
        SRC_FILES,
        TEST_FILES
    ],
    mocha: {
        // compilers: [
        //     'ts:ts-node/register',
        //     'tsx:ts-node/register'
        // ],
        require: [
            './tests/setup.js',
            'ignore-styles',
            'source-map-support/register'
        ]
    }
};
gulp.task('mocha', mocha(MOCHA_CONFIG));

tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "rootDir": "./src",
    "outDir": "./build",
    "allowJs": true,
    "module": "commonjs",
    "target": "es5",
    "lib": ["es5", "es6", "dom"],
    "sourceMap": true,
    "inlineSourceMap": false,
    "inlineSources": false,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "noUnusedParameters": true,
    "noUnusedLocals": true,
    "jsx": "react",
    "moduleResolution": "node"
  },
  "exclude": [
    "docs",
    "tests",
    "**/*.test.js",
    "**/*.test.jsx",
    "**/*.test.ts",
    "**/*.test.tsx",
    "tools",
    "gulpfile.js",
    "node_modules",
    "build",
    "typings/main",
    "typings/main.d.ts"
  ],
  "awesomeTypescriptLoaderOptions": {
    "useCache": true,
    "useBabel": true
  }
}

With the above setup coverage produces results for all the files but they are incorrect for TS files most probably due to source maps not being used (i.e. report shows no coverage for lines which are comments and the numbers seems to be wrong as well).
With a number of variant approaches tried with no success one of the most commonly suggested is to add "require": ["ts-node/register"] to nyc configuration yet then I'm getting errors complaining about i.e. gulpfile.js, docs/reports/coverage/lcov-report/prettify.js and number of other JS files to be not under 'rootDir' which is correct yet it is not clear why ts-node tries to process all the files out of src even if they are excluded in tsconfig.json (still the configuration gets really complex).
I'll appreciate any suggestion which way to go to get proper coverage report for TS files.

A: Recently I found a satisfiable solution by using "target": "es6" instead of es5 in tsconfig.json's compilerOptions. While changing target directly in tsconfig.json may not be an option as it affects build, the other tip is to use TS_NODE_COMPILER_OPTIONS='{"target":"es6"} which can be added directly in package.json scripts as i.e. :
"test:coverage": "TS_NODE_COMPILER_OPTIONS='{\"target\":\"es6\"}' nyc npm run test:unit",

where test:unit is whatever way being used to run actual tests (in my case just gulp mocha.
NOTE: I've also updated nyc to latest 11.1.0 and ts-node to 3.3.0 as suggested on https://github.com/istanbuljs/nyc/issues/618 thread

A: I'm not sure this is the same problem but I'll put this here in case it helps future developers...
I wasn't getting any coverage data until I added exclude-after-remap=false to the nyc section of my package.json.
This is listed in the documentation but not in a very prominent way (IMO).

A: Since a lot of changes broke old working setups I created a verbose example project covering typescript + mocha + nyc supporting proper coverage also for non called files (this is often not included in examples) as well as some unit test examples and quality checks using latest versions.
I had several issues whilst going to mocha 8+ nyc 15+. Maybe it also helps someone else stumbling across it.

If you're only interested in coverage check the .ncyrc.yml and mocharc.yml as well as the call config in package.json. VsCode launch configs also included:
.nycrc.yml
extends: "@istanbuljs/nyc-config-typescript"

reporter:
  - html
  - lcovonly
  - clover
  # those 2 are for commandline outputs
  - text
  - text-summary
report-dir: coverage

.mocharc.yml
require:
  - ts-node/register
  - source-map-support/register
recursive: true
color: true
exit: true
extension:
  - ts
  - test.ts

test job in package.json
"test": "npm run lint && nyc mocha src test",

PZH | Never-ending traffic jams: Is this the future of cars in urban areas? How can cyclists survive the ever-growing traffic chaos? On 2 November 2017 at the Hannover Centre for Production Technology, the "BIKES vs CARS" film club poses questions and presents views from our region and from metropolitan cities around the world.
Director and producer Fredrik Gertten visited various capitals for his award-winning documentary BIKES vs CARS (Sweden 2015 | 88 min). When it comes to sharing the road, cyclists and motorists can be at odds. The film's major question: How can the future of urban mobility look like?
In the subsequent discussion forum, Eckhardt Stasch, programme manager of the Technik-Salon asks: "Where do we stand?" Answers are given by Klaus Geschwinder, team leader of the Traffic Development and Management Division of the metropolitan area of Hannover, and Professor Bernhard Friedrich, Head of the Institute of Transportation and Urban Engineering of TU Braunschweig.
The Bikes vs Cars film club starts at 6 p.m. in the lecture hall of the Hannover Centre for Production Technology, An der Universität 2, 30823 Garbsen, Germany (stop "Friedhof / Auf der Horst, line 4). The entrance is four euros, free entry for visitors under 25. Snacks and refreshments will be around.

Romain Löser, don't look back until you cry, Installationsansicht Werkleitz Festival 2019 Modell und Ruine, 2019
© Charlotte Bonjour und Romain Löser
If you were to look back at the 20th and 21st centuries from some future point in time, our ruins will be composed of concrete, asphalt and plastic: weathered bitumen and mountains of plastic bags. Emblematic is the standardized plastic crate known as the small load carrier – tied to the economic fortunes of the petrochemical industry. Romain Löser works with these, creating seemingly abstract paintings that take their colours and their forms from the physical reality of the worlds of modern shipping and warehousing. In the Fremdenhaus, the former guesthouse of the rulers of Anhalt-Dessau, Löser depicts the alienness of the current realities of logistics: paintings for the Anthropocene. Whilst in the 18th century it was the styles of former epochs that served as the models for an idealized past, today it is these plastic crates that will be the defining elements of our future.
Interview Romain Löser mit Alexander Klose
AK: Your painting and in the broadest sense pictorial work seems at first glance to be abstract and formal. Yet it makes specific reference to the world of warehouses and transport and its standardized boxes. Painters are usually interested in landscapes or bodies, in the moods or colourings of the sky or autopoietic surface structures. You scrutinize plastic boxes. What do you find so fascinating about them?
RL: In one of his films Charlie Chaplin goes on a trip. After he has packed and closed his suitcase he realizes that pant legs, sleeves and socks are hanging out from all sides. So he takes a pair of scissors and cuts everything off that's hanging out. I think that standardized containers exercise a very similar violence.
AK: In our classicist park and exhibition parcours you've reworked the former guest house, the Fremdenhaus. Outside you've bolted and blockaded windows and doors. Inside you've placed pallets full of hermetically folded plastic boxes and paintings on display. Is exclusion a modern ruin for you?
RL: From a capitalistic perspective exclusion is something positive. It occurs to me that I bought my first album by Einstürzende Neubauten because of its cover – I found the "Einstürzende Neubauten" logo so cool. Standardized plastic boxes stacked on top of each other are definitely a symbol of closed, sealed, environmentally harmful systems. They are also supposed to be salutary units – yet the hegemony of the capitalistic world order is becoming less and less credible.
AK: The team of directors of documenta 12 in 2007 formulated the question: "Is modernity our antiquity?" Would you say that you view logistics, something eminently modern, in a similar way as relicts, which you make reference to in the course of your quasi archaeological activities?
RL: The standardized plastic box that you're talking about – the small load carrier – was developed by the German Automobile Industry Association in order to optimize logistic supply chains. But this box doesn't care if it's transporting combustion engines or electric actuators. It holds an important promise: frictionless processes generate more satisfied customers and greater profits. The question is: how many satisfied customers can there be in the world? This is the starting point for the race for raw materials that we now find ourselves in. The box can only transport content. It seems to me that the real relict is the belief in a systematic order that seems to operate according to clear rules and forms.
AK: In a well-known essay about the grid, Rosalind Krauss refers to the religious or spiritual nature of classical abstraction and colour-field painting. She writes literally of a "mythical force" in geometric abstraction which appears to allow modernist artists of the interwar and post-war periods to reconcile the rationalization processes taking place all around them with a holistic, spiritual view of the world, a more exalted universalism. In your works the dimensions, shapes, proportions and colours are derived from logistics as a transcendental entity that nevertheless yields very specific shapes and colours. They also create the modern "golden surface" or "universe of ideas" contained in the grid. How do you relate to the classic avantgarde? What significance do colour fields have for you?
RL: Transcendence sounds like something out of service, but empathy is important to me.There's a historical irony in the massive propagation of abstract expressionism as a completely American artistic trend, as the point of reference for most of these artists was the Russian avantgarde. Maybe Rosalind Krauss is only trying to corroborate the movement's American legacy? The development of Manhattan as a grid originates from a time when Malevi's parents didn't even know each other yet. Maybe there was an attempt to escape the grid by transcending it, but it has never gone away.
GPS has been around since the 1970s. We are more or less mobile points on a grid, depending on which passport we have and how much money. Digitalization serves to tighten the net.
I would rather sing about the banality of the grid: it isn't radical, it's just pragmatic and omnipresent. It stands for surveillance, systematic violence, exploitation and expansion. The lines in my pictures are yielded by contiguous surfaces, and regardless how cleanly I work, every surface has a leak somewhere – control is an illusion.
Achille Mbembe speaks of a genealogy of the separation and division that Frantz Fanon had already described and that permeated (at least) the 19th and 20th centuries. Borders can be locations of encounter and curiosity – or we and our kind can stand around patting each other on the back.
AK: If according to our interpretation historical modern movements are characterized by their individual, programmatically defined embracing of past epochs, the present and/or the future, how would you describe your own relation to foregone eras or those yet to come? How far forwards into the future do you stretch, how far back into the past do you lean?
RL: If I raise my arms as high as I can I am 2.4 metres tall. And with Michael Jackson's anti-gravity shoes I can lean back about 45° into the past.
