It’s not clear how long she had been dead and the medical examiner will perform an autopsy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The couple’s 13-year-old daughter was at school at the time and officials said a note was found at the scene telling her it was not her fault. The officials were not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A crime scene truck was parked outside their building on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, and barriers had been set up to keep back reporters and gawkers who were arriving to the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company she founded, Kate Spade New York, now has over 140 retail shops and outlet stores across the U.S. and more than 175 shops internationally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Julia Curry, a spokeswoman for the company, said that “Kate will be dearly missed” and “our thoughts are with Andy and the entire Spade family at this time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spade, who was an accessories editor at Mademoiselle magazine, launched her company with husband Andy in their apartment in 1993. She started the company based on six shapes of bags that she thought every working woman needed. It created a smash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I grew up in the Midwest, where you have to have it (a fashion item) because you like it, not because you’re supposed to have it,” the Kansas City, Missouri, native told The Associated Press in 2004. “For our customers, fashion is in the right place in their life. It’s an adornment, not an obsession.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the original boxy handbags, she expanded into shoes, luggage and other accessories, as well as a home line, stationery, and three books. Spade won multiple awards from the Council of Fashion Designers of America and was named a “giant of design” by House Beautiful magazine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As an accessory, a great bag that takes the outfit somewhere else is interesting,” she told the AP in a 2000 interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She walked away from the company in 2007, a year after it was acquired from the Neiman Marcus Group for $125 million by the company then known as Liz Claiborne Inc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coach, now known as Tapestry, bought the Kate Spade brand last year for $2.4 billion, seeking to broaden its appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Spade and her husband started a new handbag company a few years ago, Frances Valentine.

And you won’t be classmates anymore. You’ll be adults who Facebook search each other at two in the morning for the next 10 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In simultaneous dig at himself, and a nod to the far-reaching movement inspired by MSD students who showed not all change-makers are adults, Fallon humorously ushered in the occasion as “Opposite Day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you think of commencement speakers, you think of people who are inspirational, people who are eloquent, people who’ve changed the world,” he said. “When you think of high school students, you think of people who are immature, slightly awkward, still learning to be an adult.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the ceremony’s venue, the BB&T Center, home to the Florida Panthers hockey team, Fallon then delivered the graduating seniors some “real-world advice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When something feels hard, remember that it gets better. Choose to move forward. Don’t let anything stop you,” he told the graduates, who wore sashes that read “MSD Strong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The families of the four seniors who had died in the shooting — Nicholas Dworet, Joaquin Oliver, Meadow Pollack, Carmen Schentrup — accepted diplomas on their behalf. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He mentioned having met some of the students at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/03/24/596679790/hundreds-of-thousands-march-for-gun-control-across-the-u-s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“March for Our Lives” protest\u003c/a> in Washington, D.C., earlier this year: “It was an amazing day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thank you for your courage and your bravery,” he said, “and for giving amazing speeches I could never possibly live up to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says he and his wife brought his two young daughters to Sunday’s event “because we wanted them to see what hope and light looks like.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The comedian poked fun at what, at first, he saw as a personal setback for his younger self, who he said “wasn’t dumb” but “just had other strengths.” Obligated to go to summer school, happily, he said, it turned out “I met 15 versions of myself. Everyone was funny — and slightly dumb. I loved summer school!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, he said, “Some things that seem like setbacks can take our lives in a totally new direction — they change us in ways we don’t expect. And they make us better, and stronger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You guys have already proven that to everyone,” he said. “You took something horrific, and instead of letting it stop you, you started a movement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole world has heard your voice. And that was you making a choice,” he said. “That was you choosing hope over fear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can listen to Fallon’s full commencement speech below: \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

And you won’t be classmates anymore. You’ll be adults who Facebook search each other at two in the morning for the next 10 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In simultaneous dig at himself, and a nod to the far-reaching movement inspired by MSD students who showed not all change-makers are adults, Fallon humorously ushered in the occasion as “Opposite Day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Choose to move forward. Don’t let anything stop you,” he told the graduates, who wore sashes that read “MSD Strong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The families of the four seniors who had died in the shooting — Nicholas Dworet, Joaquin Oliver, Meadow Pollack, Carmen Schentrup — accepted diplomas on their behalf. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He mentioned having met some of the students at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/03/24/596679790/hundreds-of-thousands-march-for-gun-control-across-the-u-s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“March for Our Lives” protest\u003c/a> in Washington, D.C., earlier this year: “It was an amazing day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thank you for your courage and your bravery,” he said, “and for giving amazing speeches I could never possibly live up to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says he and his wife brought his two young daughters to Sunday’s event “because we wanted them to see what hope and light looks like.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The comedian poked fun at what, at first, he saw as a personal setback for his younger self, who he said “wasn’t dumb” but “just had other strengths.” Obligated to go to summer school, happily, he said, it turned out “I met 15 versions of myself. Everyone was funny — and slightly dumb. I loved summer school!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, he said, “Some things that seem like setbacks can take our lives in a totally new direction — they change us in ways we don’t expect. And they make us better, and stronger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You guys have already proven that to everyone,” he said. “You took something horrific, and instead of letting it stop you, you started a movement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole world has heard your voice. And that was you making a choice,” he said. “That was you choosing hope over fear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can listen to Fallon’s full commencement speech below: \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

The attack occurred near his fictional character’s home on Baker Street. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cumberbatch and his wife, Sophie Hunter, were riding in an Uber when the 41-year-old actor spotted the attempted mugging on Marylebone High Street and jumped out of the vehicle. Four muggers were attacking a \u003ca href=\"https://deliveroo.co.uk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Deliveroo \u003c/a>cyclist and attempting to steal his bicycle. According to witnesses, Cumberbatch screamed at the attackers and then dragged them off of the victim. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6432784/benedict-cumberbatch-saves-deliveroo-assault/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uber driver Manuel Dias, 53, told The Sun\u003c/a>, “I was taking Benedict and his wife to a club — but I didn’t know it was him at first.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went to turn down into Marylebone High Street and we saw four guys were pushing around a Deliveroo cyclist. My passenger jumped out, ran over and pulled the men away. They turned towards him and things looked like they were getting worse, so I joined in. He stood there instructing them in the street, shouting, ‘Leave him alone.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Then it all got a bit surreal. Here was Sherlock Holmes fighting off four attackers just round the corner from Baker Street,” Dias continued. “I had hold of one lad and Benedict another. He seemed to know exactly what he was doing. He was very brave. He did most of it, to be honest. They tried to hit him, but he defended himself and pushed them away. He wasn’t injured. Then I think they also recognized it was Benedict and ran away.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The victim did not require hospital treatment.

Like the hugely popular Donald Glover song and video (Gambino is his stage name), the Nigerian version looks at harsh everyday realities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In “This Is America,” the issues include gun violence, racism and the distraction of viral entertainment and social media. Falz’s lyrics and visuals touch on some of Nigeria’s major problems: poor electricity supply, drug addiction and government corruption. The video even features veiled Muslim girls to allude to Boko Haram’s abductions of schoolgirls in the northeast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Falz performs in pidgin English, a blend of English and local languages that is widely spoken in West Africa. The chorus says:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is Nigeria.\u003cbr>\nNever-ending recession-o\u003cbr>\nWhere looters are killers and stealers are still contesting election-o.\u003cbr>\nPolitician wey steal some billion and billion e no dey go prison-o.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Released on May 25, just four days before the 19th anniversary of democracy in the West African nation, the three-minute video has been viewed on YouTube 2.9 million times. The hashtag \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/thisisnigeria\">#ThisIsNigeria\u003c/a> has generated tens of thousands of tweets. And the song has captured the attention of the American rapper Diddy, who reposted “This Is Nigeria” \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BjSNt8hFLkO/?hl=en&taken-by=diddy\">on his Instagram account\u003c/a>, where it currently has an additional 2.2 million views.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Falz, whose real name is Folarin Falana, is not new to social commentary. His music often reflects the views of his father, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femi_Falana\">Femi Falana\u003c/a>, a popular Nigerian lawyer and human rights activist. Falz’s previous songs “Child of the World,” “Confirm” and “Wehdone Sir” tackle sexual harassment, Internet fraud and the rise of \u003ca href=\"http://www.pulse.ng/bi/lifestyle/these-african-millionaires-pastors-are-living-like-superstars-id7861633.html\">wealthy megachurch pastors\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a non-Nigerian, the scenes in the video may be a bit hard to figure out at times.

In April 2017, a Nigerian televangelist named Tim Omotoso was arrested and \u003ca href=\"https://citizen.co.za/news/south-africa/1927417/1case-against-nigerian-sex-pastor-transferred-to-port-elizabeth-high-court/\">charged with trafficking\u003c/a> more than 30 girls and women from various branches of his church, and allegedly sexually exploiting them.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Erratic electricity [1:51]\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Falz worries that there is “no electricity daily o.” Nigerians often complain about this problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lazy youth [1:54]\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When President Muhammadu Buhari got a chance to speak at a Commonwealth Business Forum in Westminster on April, he said “a lot of” young Nigerians “sit and do nothing” and expect everything for free, including housing, health care and education. This attracted a backlash on social media, with young Nigerians using the hashtag #LazyNigerianYouth to fire back at the president.
