"Are you kidding me?" Jordon was being a pain.
Wren looked up at her best friend. She wasn't sure this was true anymore, but Jordon always wanted more. She/He plopped down next to her on the bed. It was all a little too close for Wren's comfort. She didn't trust the girl she knew since fifth grade. Jordon wanted her to know, he was man enough to be her boyfriend.
Wren winced, knowing Simon would be here soon.
"I think you should go." Wren sighed, "You said you didn't even want to be here." They were in a bit of a spat and it was Wren's birthday. This wasn't the way she wanted to spend it. But these days it was all about Jordon. It was as if Jordon was so needy, especially since the start of the transition.
"I can't leave now," Jordon told her HE couldn't leave her alone with that boy. In the next breath, Jordon was telling her Simon was a girl.
Wren shook her head, not sure to laugh or cry. Where had it all gone so wrong? She'd been supportive of her friend's decision. But maybe he needed to be in a bigger support group than just her. Jordon hated everything these days. He was mad at his mom. He hated his dad. Wren knew he was being impossible.
"You didn't even bring me a present." Wren prodded Jordon along, to get going before Simon got here.
"Oh, you are as selfish as you always were." Naturally, Jordon guilt tripped her. Wren hugged her self harder. The things Jordon said were true to her nature, not Wren's, but she couldn't tell her that.
"What do you want?" Wren drew a frown. "I - I don't -"
"You know, you like it." Jordon hissed.
Wren pressed her lips tight. Yes, they'd touched. Even kissed. Only Wren didn't like this pressure. This was not where she wanted their friendship to go.
"I don't want to be friends with benefits," Wren told her.
The doorbell rang. Wren was certain this was the worst birthday ever.

$20K Fine, No Jail Time For General's Sexual Misconduct
As the military works to curb sexual misconduct and Congress considers military justice reforms aimed at helping assault victims, the Reprimand, $20K Fine and no jail time for Army Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair in his sexual misconduct trial caused victims' advocates to point out that once again the system is all about cronyism.
The 51-year-old Sinclair, was accused of sexually assaulting a subordinate, but struck a deal with prosecutors to plead guilty to lesser charges.
The charges stemmed from an affair Sinclair had with his accuser, an Army captain, that continued for several years while both served in Iraq and Afghanistan. The case began to unravel when the prosecution learned that Sinclair's accuser continued their affair after the alleged assault.
The former deputy commander of the 82nd Airborne Division was originally brought up on sexual assault charges punishable by life in prison. He was believed to be the highest-ranking U.S. military officer ever court-martialed on such charges.
But earlier this week, prosecutors dropped those charges midway through the trial in a deal in which Sinclair pleaded guilty to committing adultery with one woman and conducting inappropriate relationships with two others by asking them for nude pictures and exchanging sexually explicit email. Adultery is a crime in the military.
While the charges against Sinclair carried a maximum of more than 20 years in prison, the plea bargain worked out by the defense and military prosecutors called for no more than 18 months.
The judge, Col. James Pohl, did not explain how he arrived at a much lighter sentence.
Under the sexual assault charges, Sinclair was accused of twice forcing a female captain to perform oral sex and threatening to kill her if she told anyone about their three-year adulterous affair in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The case started to crumble as Sinclair's lawyers hammered away at the woman's credibility and raised questions about whether Sinclair's commander improperly pressed ahead with a trial because of political considerations — namely, a desire to show the Army's resolve to combat sexual misconduct.
In addition the judge in the case determined that senior Army officials in the Pentagon unduly influenced the case when they rejected an earlier plea agreement, fearing political repercussions.
Army Brig. Gen. Jeffrey
The case unfolded with the Pentagon under heavy pressure to confront what has been called an epidemic of rape and other sexual misconduct in the military.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., called the sentence "laughable."
"Even when the world is watching, the military has demonstrated their incompetence at meting out justice," Speier said in a statement. "This is another sordid example of how truly broken the military justice system is. This sentence is a mockery of military justice, a slap on the wrist nowhere close to being proportional to Sinclair's offenses."
While it has been reported on NPR that "The defense basically agreed, in the plea deal, that Gen. Sinclair should face jail time," Sinclair was not demoted or dismissed from the military. Any reduction in rank would be determined by a military board, once the general decides to retire. This he has subsequently done.
If Sinclair had not announced his retirement, an Army disciplinary board would have almost certainly forced him into it. Now the board will decide whether to demote him, which could cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars in benefits during his retirement. Sinclair made about $145,000 a year in base pay.
Prosecutors had argued that the judge should throw Sinclair out of the Army and strip him of his benefits, while the defense said that would harm his wife and their two sons the most. Prosecutors did not ask the judge to send Sinclair to jail.
Greg Jacob of the Service Women's Action Network said the case demonstrates the need for legislation that would strip commanders of the authority to prosecute cases and give that power to seasoned military lawyers. The bill, backed by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., was defeated in the Senate earlier this month.
Gillibrand is expected to renew her effort to change military law this spring.
"This case has illustrated a military justice system in dire need of independence from the chain of command," she said in a statement.
A spokeswoman for Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., who fought the bill, said the case reinforced her side of the argument.
"One of its lessons highlights what we already know — that commanders are often more aggressive than prosecutors in pursuing prosecutions and vetting these cases," Sarah Feldman said.
In another high-profile case Thursday, a military judge in Washington found former Naval Academy football player Joshua Tate not guilty of sexual assault. Three midshipmen were originally charged, but only one was court-martialed.
Prosecutors said the alleged victim was too drunk to consent to sex. She testified she didn't remember much about that night.

We would like to hear from you if you are not happy with Bloomberg Businessweek, for any cause. Principal street enterprise owners from about the country have nominated their modest towns to acquire a $500,000 downtown makeover. However none of us will let the company suffer as a result of his general apathy. Tomorrow, we have our standard management meeting with HR. My boss has currently been query by his boss on integrity and moral concerns at perform. Organization Weekly received Award for Excellence for Excellence in Reporting Environment" , in the 2016 Society of Publishers in Asia (SOPA) Award with the cover story of " The Disappearing Black Kite " in No 1444. As a socialist, I discover the details presented in Company Week extremely useful in my writing and understanding of the system. Business Weekly received Best in On the internet Media/Magazine Website" in the 2013 Asian Digital Media Awards. USLI (United States Liability) offers THE best prices for E& Insurance… It is approx $2,000 per year for P&C, Life and Health.
I feel we agree on free speech for fascists and state bans also that the Palestine concern is divisive and separate from antifascism, which is another reason why we do not cover it in Searchlight. My wife took this on right after seeing it adverised on-line, what a load of rubbish it was, we had 150 books and wanted about £50 a week. Sponsored and organised by top law firm Ward Hadaway and backed by the Manchester Evening News/Greater Manchester Business Week, the list highlights and celebrates organizations in the area who have shown the largest development over recent years. Enterprise have to modify, but some people just dont like modify, so it will stay the way it is.
So to be honest with you, I would be amazed if you could handle to match this all in a week when you only have a couple of nights to do it. If we add up all those hours it equates to about 12+ hours. Final week the news media reported retail sales for the weekend of Thanksgiving (going into the Holidays) up over eight.3% from final year!! I know some of you wait by the door to be the first to grab them as they enter, so maintain an eye out this week. She functions 3 days a week and believed this would be very good for the other two but we place the books out and got £20 of orders. This Trustees Week Trustees Limitless is urging charities to do much more to recruit 'millennials' (people aged 18-35 years) to their boards to keep more relevant to modern day society and future proof their organisations. The issue is, my direct supervisor is the one who is suppose to take care of these problems.
Rather than advertising your agency as John Smith, Insurance coverage Agent, you can advertise it as Smith Insurance coverage Services, which does have far more credibility to your name. They have not, in my knowledge, shown the slightest inclination to respond to ideas from outside and have demonstrated no certain wish to even contemplate, let alone embrace, modify of any kind. Save large on your enterprise news updates with Bloomberg Businessweek coupon codes and unique promotions. I have been reading Organization Week magazines for previous 35+ years, and I have to say there had in no way been a dull moment. They do it the following week to try and get the £400 order they require twice to get the magic £800.
Considering that the publication's relaunch in 2010, the creative team has been busy reshaping a stodgy magazine you'd only touch in your dentist's waiting space into a dynamic, entertaining, and visually driven should-read. It threw her a tiny, then she rapidly composed herself and added to the rule to cover her tracks. I used to be a seller there also, but they now seem to favor, and cater to, the huge company guys, and the at-house seller has been hung out to dry. It generally helps for you to have a enterprise program, and how you plan to preserve and develop the amount of business you create for them on a month-to-month basis. Every single week, its content provided a cross-section of numerous industries and what the problems have been in each and every of them, as effectively as evaluation of the broader trends such as unemployment, the stock industry, and trade. Everytime I get my Forbes magazine the initial thing I do is rip out all the ads.

Toby is a steam tram.
Toby was built by James Holden at GER's Stratford Works in Stratford, London, England in 1914 and originally lived at Great Yarmouth Docks, Norfolk with his brothers before working on an unnamed tramway. In 1951, Toby came to work at the quarry on Thomas' Branch Line after his old railway in East Anglia closed, as it was found to be illegal for Thomas to go on the quarry tramroad without sideplates or cowcatchers.
Toby is old and, at first, was teased by James for his shabby paint. James stopped calling him names after he crashed into some tar wagons and Toby was given chocolate-brown paint for his hard work.
Toby also got into a bit of a controversy with a female Diesel shunter named Mavis as she was not willing to shunt the trucks where they needed to be. After an accident with some trucks, the two engines made up their quarrel and are now good friends.
Toby has two coaches named Henrietta and Victoria and a luggage van, Elsie.
When he was first introduced, Toby was old but hardworking and knew enough about running a branch line to justify running Thomas' with Thomas and Daisy after Percy's accident with the trucks. He is also savvy enough to control the trucks. However, his advanced age and design means that he is weaker than the other engines.
Since the eighth season, Toby has been portrayed as being nervous about the capabilities of his work and uncertain about being an old steam tram, believing that he is not a proper engine, only good enough as a museum piece and not really special at all.
Toby enjoys listening to the birds in the birdhouse next to his shed. He also is friends with the pigs at Farmer Trotter's Pig Farm.
Toby was inspired by a GER C53 0-6-0T Wisbech steam tram (classed as J70 by the LNER) seen by the Reverend_W._Awdry and Christopher Awdry on a holiday at Yarmouth, hence Toby's origins.
In the Railway Series Toby was painted brown with black cowcatchers and sideplates (which sported "LNER" in bright yellow letters) before working on his tramway, where he was repainted greyish-brown with grey sideplates and cowcatchers. After helping James he was repainted chocolate-brown with olive frames and blue sideplates.
In the television series, Toby has consistently been painted brown with grey sideplates and cowcatchers. Toby has a number "7" painted on his sides in bright yellow with a red border.
In the Railway Series, he carries two plaques on the sides of his cab stating that he works on the NWR, his number, and the last time and place that he was rebuilt.
- The Wooden Railway and Brio ranges incorrectly depict Toby as an 0-4-0.
- In Thomas Comes Home, the illustrations of "Toby's Megatrain" show Toby with a face at the rear cab as well as the front cab. This is the only time in the Railway Series that Toby has been illustrated with two faces.
- Two Toby models are on public display; one at Drayton Manor in the U.K, but now looks to be in storage, and one currently in Canada at Nitrogen Studios.
- Toby is Christopher Awdry's favourite engine. This is because while on a trip in Yarmouth, he and his father got to ride in the cab of a J70 tram.
- Toby's wood work colour over the years have changed shades.

- We tackle a part 2 segment of the PEMF therapy conversation we originally had in a previous podcast, and discuss what benefits this type of therapy can implement on our health, cells and healing when used properly.
- Why taping your mouth shut at night, so you are forced to breathe only through your nose, is a huge biohacking tool for retraining your brain to breathe properly during your waking/active hours.
- We dive into "Cognitive Bias Cheat Sheet, and Wheel", and how understanding how to hack shortcuts toward our cognitive bias processes can help with our peak performance
- Get the infographics here:

- There's not enough meaning for us to make meaningful decisions (limited information vs. infinite information)
- There is not enough time and resources (we can't consider all possibilities when considering your actions)
- There is not enough memory (not enough memory in our brains to store everything needed for all decision options)
- How can understanding the cognitive bias information we are programmed to believe, help us to break away from our "obvious" beliefs and understand more about complex situations, when thinking deeply matters most

Since 2002, JAC MPV has achieved 500,000 units' market holdings and maintained the top 3 position in Chinese MPV market with the reputation of 'the expert of MPV manufacturing'.
Currently, JAC MPV production line has developed different production series for all kinds of customers: M5 for business, M1 for family and M3 for both business and family.
M3 has a fashionable sculpt, simple and practical, extra- larger space and overall size which occupy the advantage position among the same class vehicles.

BetConstruct Awarded Combined Remote Operating License in the UK
Developer and provider of online and land-based casino solutions, BetConstruct, has been awarded a combined remote operator license by the gambling regulator for the UK market, the UK Gambling Commission. The license will allow the company to expand its services within the UK gambling market.
"The Combined Remote Operating License by the UK Gambling Commission widens the path for BetConstruct to one of the most important gaming and betting markets – the UK," stated Vahe Baloulian, chief executive of BetConstruct.
"Although this market is mature and somewhat saturated, we believe what BetConstruct has to offer is quite unique and can be the differentiator the operators are looking for."
"Being headquartered in the UK, we have studied this market for a long time now. We look forward to challenging the status quo there with the new technologies and services we have developed in recent years," Baloulian added.
Besides for the UK gaming license, BetConstruct also holds licenses in a number of other jurisdictions, including a Category 2 license from the Alderney Gambling Control Commission and a Class 2 and Class 4 license from the Malta Gaming Authority.
In April, the company was granted a Gambling Software Operating License for its sportsbook by the UK regulator. The company applied for the license after changes in the local regulations required all software companies supplying content to the UK market to hold licenses from the UK Gambling Commission.
BetConstruct has been expanding with the signing of new partnership deals and just last week they signed an agreement with sports betting operator Fonbet. Through the deal, the provider will supply its Live Scouting Data Service and live data will be provided by Megafeed, a partner of BetConstruct.

Here, the natives treat all the guests as their source of food and clothing. If anyone dared to offend a guest in Forgotten Traces, then they could no longer stay here ever again.
Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes and stared at the brawny man whose face was being stepped on.
"Let him go."
The fatty man jumped away immediately.
The brawny man sat up from the ground and looked confusedly at the beautiful little girl.
"How much gold?" Shen Yanxiao asked.
"What… what?"
"I said how much would it cost to buy these two?" Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and asked, her face was sullen.
When the fatties heard it, they immediately put up a charming smile.
"This… To be honest, this little slut had already been purchased by another client. If you want a kind of person similar to this little slut, we have a lot of slaves similar to her and all of them are well-behaved and would absolutely satisfy you."
Shen Yanxiao coldly groaned.
"Such nonsense, I want them both. As to how much money you want, just say it."
Those fatties showed a distress appearance. They did not want to offend this guest but that Little Jiu had already been bought by another customer.
While the group of fatties hesitated, a rambling voice suddenly came.
"Is this how the Forgotten Traces do their business? It's ridiculous, even the slaves here are not properly discipline." A handsome young man in his twenties emerged from the crowd and following behind him were several strong men. In the hands of every burly man, they were holding at least three or four sluggish slaves.
Those merchants saw the emergence of young man and immediately welcomed them.
"This young master, please listen to our explanation. We will give Little Jiu to you immediately. Please don't be angry."
The young man smirked and ignored what they were saying. He looked behind Shen Yanxiao and saw Little Jiu, he sneered, "Indeed, this cheap slut is the most rubbish of them all, in a blink of an eye, she's already clinging onto a new client."
Little Jiu's body shivered and didn't dare to utter a reply.
The youth immediately saw Shen Yanxiao and examined the extremely beautiful young girl from head to toe.
"Tsk, tsk. This beautiful young lady, this despicable slave is incompatible with your identity. Having her around will only tarnish your beauty." The young man was amazed by Shen Yanxiao's appearance. A gentle smile was plastered on his lips as he waved his hand and immediately, his servants brought several young girls in front of Shen Yanxiao.
These little girls were all wearing chains on their limbs. They walked in front of Shen Yanxiao and immediately knelt obediently on the ground. Their gloomy eyes were overcast. It was as if they were obedient dolls that were being played with.
"These are the children that I've picked from here. Not only do they have a fair appearance and are well-behaved, they are also very clever. They can easily do something with just a few adjustments." The young man smiled and said as if he didn't mind someone buying what he had just bought and surrendering them.
Shen Yanxiao frowned, the other person's flattering attitude made her feel very annoyed, and it also made her confuse even more. This young man's repeated explanation were the crucial point.
He wanted the girl behind her and was willing to trade with more slaves.
For an unruly slave girl to be paid with more slaves, it was very confusing in itself.
As for the other person's rhetoric, Shen Yanxiao didn't take it seriously.
The reason why this man was patience was either because of her appearance or something else entirely. Whichever it was though, she did not care that much, this was the only thing she was sure of.TEASER
Compared to the slaves who had already lost their sanity and dignity, she would rather buy someone like Little Jiu who still knew how to resist.
"I'm sorry, I do not intend to change the slave." Shen Yanxiao crossed her arms over her chest and there was a trace of disapproval on her face.
The young man looked distracted at first before he immediately laughed and answered, "But this child is my first choice."
"Oh?" Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrow.
"But have you already paid for her?"

On April 11, 2018, our groups of 147, 158 and 245 with the tutor Shakirova B.T. visited our university`s anatomical museum. We saw with our own eyes the terrible consequences of the influence of nuclear tests on the Semipalatinsk test site. And now we are very pleased that due to the efforts of the Kazakhstanian people these nuclear tests have ceased. But the echo of these tests will for a long time be reminiscent of itself.
Teacher of the anatomy chair Milyushin Ya.A. showed a 3D table in action. This caused a special interest among first-year students. They saw that anatomy can be taught easily and interestingly. The students discussed and exchanged their views and opinions on the fact that modern technologies make it easier for all areas of our life: everyday life, work, study, even a hobby. We are glad that we are studying at the university, which is equipped with high-tech devices.

Another charge filed against truck driver in Forest Hill church tragedy
The truck driver involved in an accident north of Wilmington on Saturday that killed a Charlotte 2-year-old has been charged with a second count of misdemeanor death by vehicle after the family's newborn baby also died.
The additional charge was filed Tuesday, bringing the total number of charges against driver Matthew Deans to four: failure to wear a seat belt, failure to reduce speed and two counts of misdemeanor death by vehicle.
The crash injured Gentry Eddings, a worship leader at Forest Hill Church's Ballantyne campus in south Charlotte, and his wife Hadley Eddings, who was 38 weeks pregnant. The couple's 2-year-old son, Dobbs, died on the way to New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington.
Hadley underwent emergency surgery to deliver the baby, Reed, who was flown to the North Carolina Children's Hospital in Chapel Hill Sunday. He died Monday.
Deans, 28, was driving a six-wheeled commercial box truck south on U.S. 17 around noon Saturday when he collided with a caravan of cars containing the Eddings family. The caravan was stopped at the Sloop Point Loop Road intersection, near the town of Hampstead.
Richard Hendrickson, the highway patrol trooper investigating the accident, said Deans did not realize the cars were stopped until it was too late to slow his vehicle.
Blackburn Brothers Seafood in Carolina Beach owned the truck and employed Deans, who was working at the time of the accident, Hendrickson said.
Deans has been released on bail from Pender County Jail.
Forest Hill spokeswoman Stacey Martin said no plans for funerals or a memorial service had been made by Wednesday morning.

McCabe Park: Aileron, by Michael Dillon
101 46th Avenue North
Installed spring of 2012 in McCabe Park, Aileron is located west of the entrance at the intersection of 46th Avenue North and Murphy Road. The location, a former airfield, inspired the design of Aileron. Representing the biplane of the early 20thcentury, this 18' tall 25' wide sculpture captures upward movement in the supporting structure as well the actual movement of the wing in a 360-degree horizontal wind activated motion. It was fabricated using traditional blacksmith techniques and tools that were used in the manufacturing of railroad equipment, another historic reference to Sylvan Park.
12:25 p.m.(drive by)
28th Ave. Connector Bridge and Transit Shelters
28th Avenue and Park Plaza over to Charlotte Ave.
Thread and Needle by David Dahlquist
Installed fall of 2012, Thread, the 28th Avenue Connector Bridge Enhancement and Needle,Transit Shelters are located in Park Plaza and on the 28th-31st Connector Bridge. Using sewing, threads and knot tying as a metaphor, Thread and Needles peaks to the underlying purpose of the bridge and the project as a whole. Intended to connect two formerly separated neighborhoods and cultural areas,the bridge and artwork bring the community together in a myriad of ways.
Thread(bridge) is composed of 150 steel panels featuring different sewing motifs,making a quilt-like pattern across the bridge. The steel plate quilt patterns were inspired by and developed through a series of community workshops held in2011. Needle (transit shelter) features a large scale sewing needle and images of knots and threads echoing the themes and symbols depicted in the bridge artwork.
Magnolia Shelters by Kevin Berry
Installed fall of 2012, Magnolia Transit Shelters are located at the intersection of 28thAvenue and Charlotte Avenue. As part of the 28th Ave. Connector Bridge and Transit Shelter Project, this transit shelter design is intended to help strengthen the project's overall theme of connectivity. The artwork was conceived in the spirit of uniting these two unique and diverse communities through a design directly inspired by iconic elements found in both Centennial and Hadley Park. The transit shelter design is meant to reflect a sense of place and is intended to be integrated into the surrounding environment.
12:40 p.m.(stop)
Watermarks: Hartman Park: Emergence by Buddy Jackson
2801Tucker Rd, Nashville, TN
Watermarks is a series of public artworks located in Nashville neighborhoods affected by the 2010 flood. Six artists were chosen to create artworks honoring the experiences of those touched by the flood. Each artist participated in community meeting and input sessions that informed their final designs. Each artwork serves as a place for reflection, community interaction and renewal.
From emergency comes emergence. Buddy Jackson's artwork is a large face of an African-American woman emerging from the earth. This face serves as a symbol of every individual's story of danger, loss, strength and determination to push through the setbacks caused by both nature and man.
Jackson states, "I learned at community meetings, that unlike other areas of Nashville,the flood is very much still in the Bordeaux community. This primarily African-American community was one of the hardest hit by the flood, the rising waters, and the aftermath of this disaster. Many homes still remain abandoned,and many people are still struggling to find resolution. I also discovered a very strong sense of pride in the community of Bordeaux, pride in how the people of the community opened shelters and help centers in the area. There is a determination that they will emerge from the water intact, made whole, and stronger than ever." Artwork: cast water-impermeable concrete, 3.5' h x 8' w x5'
1:05 p.m.(quick stop/drive by)
Morgan Park: Bike Racks: On Air, 411 Hume St,Nashville, TN
1:10 p.m.(drive by)
Farmers' Market: Bike Racks: Corn and Tomato
Bicentennial Mall, on the east side of Farmers' Market(Rosa Parks Blvd.)
1:15 p.m.(drive by)
Public Square: Citizen by Thomas Sayer, 3rdAve. and Union
Installed during the summer of 2010, Citizen is located on the front lawn of the downtown public square and courthouse. The two 30' tall sculptures feature a crank device at their bases, allowing the audience to point each of the two figures' outstretched arms towards various points of interest downtown. The artist was inspired by and pays tribute to Nashville's Civil Rights leaders, who initiated the integration of the city on this site, pointing the way both locally and nationally.
1:20 p.m.(stop)
View from Riverfront Park (west side of river): Ghost Ballet by Alice Aycock
1stAve. and Broadway
Installed in 2007, Ghost Ballet for the East Bank Machine works is located on the bank of the Cumberland River, opposite downtown. The 100' x 100' x 60' sculpture was Nashville's first Percent for Public Art commission. The artwork references the site's industrial past and visually echoes current surroundings, including nearby bridges and the NFL Titans stadium. Its dynamic form conveys a sense of the area's evolution from an industrial working river to recreation and entertainment.
1:35 p.m.(stop)
Shelby Park: Reflection by Lawrence Argent, Shelby Ave at S. 20th
Installed fall of 2012, Reflection is located in East Nashville's Shelby Park. Refection explores Shelby Park's past, present and future through playful metaphors of reflection. Referencing the former amusement park and the expansive wildlife,specifically the mockingbird, it is within the sculpture's materials and form where these whimsical reflections come together. The mirrored quality of the mockingbird parallels its natural "mimicking" qualities, while reflecting a new vista within the park. The bird perched, trophy like, is positioned on a piece of carved granite, reflecting the negative of the opposing wall. The opposing wall is carved with a swirling motion that terminates into a hole suggesting curiosity and passage.
1:45 p.m.
Return to Fulton Campus, 800 2ndAve. North

Sustainability – an integrated component of Fingerprints' governance
Fingerprints' biometric solutions contribute to sustainable development. Our offering enables secure identification and authentication in a formerly high-risk environment.
Focusing on sustainability DESPITE NEW MARKET CONDITIONS
We secured our sustainability work on a firmer footing in 2017, and improved governance by integrating sustainability further into our business.
Fingerprints expanded its product portfolio in 2017, through channels including acquiring Delta ID. Meanwhile, we are considering new application segments for the company's biometric solutions, which in turn, open up opportunities for stronger integration of sustainability within different business segments.
With Delta ID, Fingerprints has played an active role in developing Aadhaar. Aadhaar is operated on behalf of the Indian Government with the aim of creating official identities, and thus ensure access to local and national social insurance systems in a simple and secure manner for citizens. ActiveIris®, which is part of this project, is Fingerprints' first Aadhaar-certified product. Aadhaar is an example of an application segment supporting UN Global Sustainable Development Goal 1 (No Poverty), by delivering a technology that supports people's rights to an official identity.
Our offering in smart cards, which enable secure payments, is another example of our connection to UN Global Sustainable Development Goals. This supports Goal 16 (Peace and Justice Strong Institutions) by enabling more secure authentication and payments.
Fingerprints is working on sharpening and clarifying the benefits our products create from a sustainability perspective, and on reducing the negative impact Fingerprints has through its operations, products and supply chain. This work is primarily being conducted through continuous efforts towards sustainability goals.
Fingerprints' Sustainability Forum was created in 2016, and focuses on the sustainability aspects of its organization, developing work towards sustainability goals. The Forum also serves as a referral point, with certain segments subject to further approval by management and the Board of Directors.
Fingerprints is governed by a company-wide balanced scorecard, with sustainability goals being part of the assessment criteria, which helps sustainability aspects secure equal status with the company's other objectives. Sustainability targets were broken down by function and business line in the year two actualize how they can contribute to sustainability goals. This enhances
commitment and participation in sustainability work. The visibility and integrity of sustainability goals also facilitates Fingerprints' managers following up on work where relevant.
In 2017, Fingerprints maintained internal focus on building processes to assure quality and a strong organization where everyone is working towards the same objectives. To integrate sustainability into our internal processes, we have gained inspiration from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Our management system also has ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certification, both of which were renewed in 2017. Apart from securing sustainability in the company's overall strategy process, we also focused on improving that part of corporate governance that includes sustainability—corporate responsibility and responsible sourcing.
Corporate responsibility: a working method has been produced to manage our overall policies and Code of Conduct. This has been approved by Fingerprints' management. Internal ownership of all policies was established in the year, and we have determined how new policies are to be issued, approved, updated, implemented and controlled. This approach enables all policy segments to be managed on an equal footing.
Responsible sourcing: Fingerprints' work on responsible sourcing was integrated into its management system in the year, and covers direct suppliers. A three-step method has been developed,
with step 1 implemented in 2016, and steps 2 & 3 implemented in 2017:
Step 1) all suppliers must sign our Code of Conduct for suppliers;
Step 2) selected suppliers respond to the self-assessment questionnaire and;
Step 3) selected suppliers undergo a third-party audit based on Responsible Business Alliance (RBA, formerly EICC) standards.
We believe that companies working collectively on sustainability challenges is the best way to achieve long-term results. Fingerprints has been a member of the UN Global
Compact since 2016, and decided to expand its external collaborations in the year by becoming a member of three strategically selected organizations.
Eurosmart: sustainability work is conducted through its CSR committee, which Fingerprints' Sustainability Manager is a member of. Eurosmart is the sector organization for businesses that work in smart security, such as digital identities, data security, cyber security, the IoT, payment solutions and interface controls. Eurosmart is headquartered in Brussels.
Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) formerly the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC). Fingerprints currently conducts much of its work on responsible sourcing based on the EICC's Code of Conduct and Validate Audit Process.
Membership brings Fingerprints access to the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative's work on conflict minerals. The RBA is the world's largest sector coalition for supply chains in electronics, which include semiconductor production. The RBA is headquartered in the US.
United Nations Global Compact Nordic Network As a business with its headquarters in Sweden and member of the UN Global Compact, Fingerprints thinks that the company should also work nationally and regionally on developing the UN Global Compact's Ten Principles and UN Global Sustainable Development Goals.
All these collaborations were initiated in 2017, and Fingerprints plans even more active involvement in these organizations' work in 2018. This means that Fingerprints will be able to exchange competence and best practice with other companies, thus driving the sustainability issue resolutely forward together.

There's a new attraction in town, and its name is certainly fitting. Eataly, located on 43 E. Ohio, is an integrated Italian marketplace full of groceries, food stands and restaurants. Basically, it's a mall for lovers of Italian stuff.
Being a lover of everything Italian myself, I came in with high expectations. Upon first entering the place, you'll notice the insane amount of people shopping there. I understand it being the new fad place of Chicago, but it was actually difficult to navigate through the crowd of people.
This was only a small roadblock, however, in my mission for delicious Italian food.
Within seconds, you realize the sheer enormity of Eataly. There's everything: pastas, chocolates, meats, sauces and houseware. But this is only the beginning to what Eataly offers. Near the entrance is a stand that sells Nutella on bread. It may not seem like much, but anyone who has tried Nutella knows this may be something to try. More impressively, though, spread throughout the multi-leveled mall are 23 Italian restaurants. After some deliberation, I decided to eat at one called La Pizza La Pasta.
This is where the wow-effect of Eataly started to crumble, and the reality of it started becoming clear. The seating area was filled with plastic tables and chairs, similar to a patio set you'd find at the entrance of a Menards.
It was packed there, as well, with tables being uncomfortably close to one another. The worst part is that there are no walls — the eating areas are simply a continuation of the rest of Eataly.
And the prices are ridiculous. The average you can expect to pay for a dish is $15. I ended up sharing a pizza (Napoletana, $15) and pasta (Tortiglioni, $17), as well as a glass of wine ($10). It came with bread, which paled in comparison to other quality Italian restaurants. Both the pizza and pasta are very small in portion size, particularly for hungry college students.
The quality of the food itself was so unbelievably average. Nothing tasted unique or particularly delicious in any way, and for the price, I expected at least bigger portions.
In total, the bill was about $50, and with tip (which probably could have been much less, considering the service was below average) was $60. I spent $60 on food that did not satisfy, nor fill me. For this reason, I cannot recommend Eataly.
I know I haven't tried their other restaurants, but one overpriced experience is enough for me. They do offer a large variety of Italian grocery items, but these are accessible at a Jewel-Osco for the most part, unless you need a very niche item. Try Eataly for yourself, but make sure to bring extra cash if you will be dining there.

A month ago, I signed up for the "3 Minute Thesis" competition at my university. The Three Minute Thesis (3MT® ) is an academic competition developed by The University of Queensland (UQ), Australia for research students. The concept is simple: graduate students describe their Master's or Doctoral research to a non-specialized but intelligent audience in 3 minutes. The presentation can be accompanied by a single static slide. No animations, no props, no songs, no dance.
Being one of the few people who doesn't dread public speaking I signed up without hesitation. My enjoyment of giving presentations is probably one of the few areas where I am not on top of the average curve.
At first, I thought that summarizing my research in 3 minutes would be a breeze. I know my project inside out, and am still at a stage where I enjoy talking about it. It's my intellectual baby.
I was wrong.
The version was 8 minutes long and my first slide draft looked something like this:
This presentation forced me to squeeze 2.5 years of my life and hundreds of hours in 3 minutes. Not exactly straightforward. Or simple. It forced to pin point the most important aspects of my research, simplify it without dumb-ing it down, and conveying its importance to an audience that was there to support someone else.
I challenge you to do that about anything you are passionate about.
I wasn't as anxious as I expected on qualification day. I stayed quiet as I sat with the other participants. Others chatted, discussing their study, explaining how difficult it was to squeeze everything into 3 minutes. The man next me introduced himself. I wasn't in the mood the talk. I wanted to breathe and change my shoes. Thankfully, he didn't really give me the opportunity to speak. He engaged in a monologue about his plans to invite the entire department to the finals if he made it, and since he is the president it shouldn't be too hard. He took a short intermission to greet members of his fan club and turned back to me. I nodded while I vaguely gazed in his direction and took deep breaths. He was not rude, not even arrogant, simply too talkative…about himself. To me, his expression of confidence was a reflection of his insecurity.
It is sad how poorly attended departmental events when there is no free food. Looking around the old auditorium, I noticed that there were as many audience members as there were contestants – everyone managed to bring at least one person. Having posted a Facebook event, I was expected a handful of people. I reluctantly turned around every time the auditorium door clicked open. Finally, two friends walked in and smiled in my direction. My shoulders dropped from my ears – where they like to hang out when I'm anxious – and I was ready to start. It was comforting to know they took the time out of their busy schedule to watch me (and 10 others).
The next 20 minutes were a blur. Students stepped up one by one, described their work elegantly, concisely, and clearly. No mumbles, no "ums", no trips, or falls. Even the man next to me presented. He had a reason to be confident.
My name appeared on the projector and I jumped up – I didn't think it was my turn yet. Despite the clear instructions we were given about staying on the X marked on the ground, I wondered back and forth in front of my slide. I was in a trance while I told the story of my mother asking me if the stove was turned off when we left the house.
Let's fast forward 3 minutes. Let's imagine my friends giving me thumbs up as I step off the stage. Let's fast forward through the fact that I finished second place in my qualification heat and made it to the finals!
The chatty guy? He didn't make it, neither did all the members of his department.
Let's fast forward to my final presentation, where again, I knew 3.5 people in the audience of about 100.
The .5 is a prof in our department that I don't know at all, but saw his face on our website. So we he counts as half. I hope he doesn't take offence.
I didn't win, the winner deserved to win though.
I could write about how hard it was to condense 2.5 years of my life in 3 minutes. I could also write about the sadness and loneliness I felt when very few people I knew showed up at the qualification rounds or the finals. I know that many people would have been there physically but instead sent positive vibes. This is not mean to be a criticism of who wasn't there, it is meant to be a focus and appreciation for those who were.
The idea of support, like I wrote in a previous post, is like layers in the same cake. Layers support and complement each other, and that means showing up at a silly (read nerdy) event during a busy week, reading over each other's work, or helping out through peer supervision. Thank you to all those who did. Thank you to those who asked about it and supported me through it from close or far.
A dissertation, like anything else in life (read: graduate school), is not not a solo project. Sometimes supports means being critical of each other, other times it's about shutting up and listening. Either way, it is critical to success.Support is also about saying (and meaning it!) when you say "good luck!" or "that's sound so interesting". Its about congratulating each other for our efforts, achievements, and successes and most importantly it's about giving each other a little push when we need a little help.
Averagely yours,
the candidate

Relativity invests in Capital idea
EmptyFilm financing and production outfit Relativity Media is forming the in-house investment arm Relativity Capital for principal investing in film, TV, video games and new-media projects.
New York-based hedge fund Elliott Associates Lp., which manages $10 billion in assets, will provide financing for Relativity Capital to initiate at least $1 billion in transactions. Once RC serves as the principal investor and completes the media deals, it will seek partnerships in most cases with other funds and banks.
RC will announce the first of these investments in the next two months. The deals will include studio slates, the Relativity Single Picture Business, library acquisitions and media-related cash flow investments. Video game deals are the furthest along in nonfilm deal negotiations so far, followed by television.
"Because we are acting as principals, (this) allows us to act even more quickly and efficiently," Relativity Media managing principal Ryan Kavanaugh said. "Effectively, Relativity Capital is Relativity's own media fund, and we expect to commit to over $1 billion of transactions in the near future."
The new division marks the latest stage in Relativity Media's dealmaking evolution. RC will allow Relativity to create deals without simultaneously seeking capital from hedge funds or banks, which requires handling complicated deal terms among several parties. It streamlines the process and allows Relativity more freedom to seek out projects with the sole backing of Elliott, which has been one of the main investors in previous Relativity deals.
The company began structuring deals for other companies (like arranging a $525 million revolving line of credit for Marvel Studios in 2004), then teaming as a principal with banks to provide film-financing packages for studios. The latter deals include its partnership with Citigroup Corporate and Investment Banking to create Beverly Llc., which co-finances nearly 75% of all Sony/Columbia Pictures properties under a five-year revolving credit facility.
Another major partnership was its $1.3 billion slate financing and production package Gun Hill Road Llc. with Deutsche Bank, providing separate film funds for Sony Pictures Entertainment and Universal Pictures. Relativity has structured and completed slate financing for films costing more than $8 billion.
