For the next weeks Andrew and Brandi met during every free minute they could spare. Brandi was usually busy with her kids but once a week her friend - Andrew thought her name was Nina - would watch the little ones so Brandi could see him. They didn't bother putting a label on what they had, but Andrew knew it felt right being close to somebody again. Brandi was beautiful and funny, even if she was always a little sad at the same time. But he hadn't felt as good with her as with anybody in a long time.

The Movie List
Hi all,
As promised, here’s the list. Once a movie has been reviewed, I’ll turn the movie into a link to the review on this list. Any movie we can’t find will be marked with a cross through.

SW 150 Blog Post 1
There are many social issues that are represented throughout arts. Many songs, books, pictures, and movies are made to bring awareness to a “Social Norm” that need to be changed. One thing that motivates me to try and fix a social problem is the movie Remember the Titans. I was introduced to this movie when I was in middle school, taking a sports films class. Going into watching this movie, I wasn’t really expecting it to have an impact on me, because I didn’t understand how deep the movie was. This movie motivates me to make a social change in accepting everybody, no matter who they are.
Remember the Titans is a movie about a high school football team, that was originally an all-white school, but was now allowing everybody to come to the school. Many of the players did not want to have African Americans on their team, and vice versa. They were separated, all because of their social beliefs. They wanted nothing to do with each other when they were assigned to go to a football camp. When the coaches made the rooming arrangements to where it would be one white player and one African American player, they were all unhappy. They just didn’t accept each other because of their beliefs. As the movie progresses, the team begins to untie, ending the separation between the two races. All of the players learn to like one another and treat each other respectfully, and they really become brothers. This movie is a perfect example of whole wrong some social ideas are, and when they are put into a situation of that social norm, they prove that it isn’t how things should be. At the time of the film, the two races didn’t think they were supposed to like each other, didn’t think they could sit in the same room as one another, but when they are put in a situation where they are together, they could actually learn to really like one another. This movie inspired so many people across our country, to accept one another for who they are, and put a big dent in segregation issues.
Growing up, I never looked at anyone different from myself. I never thought low of anyone because of their race. What this movie made me realize, however, is that at the time, all of the people in my life where the same race as me. Not that I wouldn’t become friends with different kinds of people, but because in my town, there wasn’t a big mix of people. According to a demographic chart of my town, Seaford, New York, of the 1,507 people of my town, 91.2% of people are white, 1.8% are Asian, and 6.4% are Hispanic. This list may be a few years off, but it shows how I never really had experience with different races of people growing up. Shortly after I saw this movie, there was a new kid in my class, who happened to be African American, and I was inspired from that movie to make sure that he didn’t feel different from anyone else. I couldn’t imagine how nervous he must have been when he came to school, with new people he has never met, and I wanted to make him feel welcome. Well, about 4 years later, he is one of my best and closest friends. Nobody in my school gave him issues about his race, and he seemed to be liked by everybody. I was very proud that he was able to fit right in to my town, and that really shows me that not only Remember the Titans, but the entire social act of bringing people together was accepted by people.
When I came to the University at Buffalo, I was in almost a completely different world coming out of my town. The demographics of UB are so spread out, I was excited to meet a bunch of new people from different areas that I would probably never meet back in my town. I transferred here after a semester of community college, and I was put in a dorm room with three Chinese boys. I will forever be grateful that I was put in that room, because I became friends with the most respectful, caring people I have ever encountered in my life. They helped me successfully adapt to life here at UB. As I walk around the campus, I see groups of people of different races who seem to be very close and like each other, and it makes me very happy. This movie made me realize the importance of bringing people together and how much of a better place the world will be.
Not only has the movie, “Remember the Titans”, made a big impact in my life, but it has around the world. The movie is about fighting racism and separation through football. This was portrayed in real life by a famous quarterback named Colin Kaepernick. He started to kneel during the national anthem before every game, saying that he is doing it to fight for minorities. This quote comes from an article about Colin’s movement. “I am not looking for approval. I have to stand up for people that are oppressed. … If they take football away, my endorsements from me, I know that I stood up for what is right.” While his heart is in the right place, and he’s only trying to bring people together, it is a very controversial topic in the US. People say if he wants to bring awareness to this issue, he should do it another way. Standing up to the flag is disrespecting the men who fought for us to live our lives. Me personally, I am torn between the issue. I like the message he is sending, but I also don’t want to kneel for the national anthem. I have two grandfathers who both risked their lives for our country, and I will always be grateful for their sacrifice. This movement has been a big topic in the US for years, and that’s exactly what Kaepernick wanted, to have people talk about what he’s doing, and why he’s doing it. This is a successful movement. It didn’t completely end the problem that he is trying to fix, but he definitely spread awareness to his issue or everyone being treated equally.
Many athletes all over the world have been using their fame and status to spread awareness through civil rights. Many NBA players have spread awareness through their social media accounts about how there still needs to be a change. A Log Angeles clippers owner, Donald Sterling, stated that he didn’t want anyone of a different race attending his teams’ games. This was something that all of the athletes knew they needed to step in and get their message across that this kind of disrespect will not be allowed in today’s world. Not only clippers players wanted him to get banned from the NBA for life, but other players around the league, including Star Lebron James, wanted him gone, and were going to protest if he wasn’t. “Last May, the Clippers protested team owner Donald Sterling’s racist comments—in which he said he didn’t want black people coming to his games—by turning their warmups inside out and hiding the team’s name and logo. In the days that followed, Golden State was prepared to walk off the court and boycott a playoff game against Los Angeles and there were rumblings that LeBron James would lead a league-wide sit-out if Sterling were allowed to remain owner in power.” This quote is from an article about how NBA players have fought racism through using their high status to spread awareness. I am very proud that people who are well known around the world are trying to fight this social issue. Social Media allows these famous men and women to talk about social issues and try and fight them.
“Remember the Titans” has made a huge impact on me. I would never be as focused on people being equal if I haven’t watched that movie. Even though even before that movie I knew that this was a problem, seeing it in the movie made me realize that this issue has to be resolved, because although there is progress, this movie came out in 2000, and it is now 2019 and there are still many issues on this topic that come up around the world. I know throughout my life, I will put an extra effort to make everyone around me feel equal, and fight against racism, through all races. I was inspired by “Remember the Titans”, and I will always be grateful that this movie was brought in to my life.

DealBook: Bloomberg’s Bruising Debate Dents His Odds
Good morning. (Was this email forwarded to you? Sign up here.)
A no good, very bad night for Bloomberg
Mike Bloomberg has spent over $400 million during his ascent in the polls for the Democratic nomination. But money apparently couldn’t save the billionaire from a widely panned performance at last night’s presidential debate. It was like “the gap between an influencer marketing campaign and putting an actual product in front of reviewers,” as Nilay Patel of The Verge put it. (As a professional tech reviewer, he knows what he’s talking about.)
Mr. Bloomberg didn’t seem prepared. “His meek rebuttals seemed to inspire a wider reckoning among his peers, who slashed and bickered with an eagerness the race had not seen before,” Matt Flegenheimer of the NYT writes. He did get in a jab at Senator Bernie Sanders, though: “What a wonderful country we have. The best-known socialist in the country happens to be a millionaire with three houses. What did I miss here?”
How the other candidates whacked Mr. Bloomberg:
• Senator Elizabeth Warren: “I’d like to talk about who we’re running against: a billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse-faced lesbians, and no, I’m not talking about Donald Trump.”
• Joe Biden: “The fact of the matter is, he has not managed his city very — very well when he was there. He didn’t get a lot done.”
• Pete Buttigieg: “Most Americans don’t see where they fit if they’ve got to choose between a socialist who thinks that capitalism is the root of all evil and a billionaire who thinks that money ought to be the root of all power.”
• Senator Amy Klobuchar: “I don’t think you look at Donald Trump and say, ‘We need someone richer in the White House.’”
A hot topic was the issue of nondisclosure agreements that some former female employees of Bloomberg L.P. signed after accusing Mr. Bloomberg of harassment and discrimination. Mr. Bloomberg refused to release those women from the N.D.A.s, calling them “consensual” — then appeared flustered by further attacks by Ms. Warren and others.
Prediction markets quickly soured on Mr. Bloomberg’s performance. His odds of securing the Democratic nomination have tumbled about 10 percentage points in 24 hours, to about 19 percent, according to ElectionBettingOdds.com.
Our favorite snark from Twitter comes from @IvanTheK, with one for the Bloomberg terminal users: “Team Bloomberg right now: ”
The takeaway: “There was little in the debate to suggest that Mr. Sanders, the national front-runner and the favorite to win Nevada’s caucuses on Saturday, had been knocked off balance,” Alex Burns and Jonathan Martin of the NYT write.

Today’s DealBook Briefing was written by Andrew Ross Sorkin in New York and Michael J. de la Merced and Jason Karaian in London.
____________________________
End of an era for Les Wexner and Victoria’s Secret
The longest-serving C.E.O. in the S&P 500 will step down after selling a majority stake in Victoria’s Secret, the WSJ reports. The deal between Mr. Wexner’s L Brands and the private equity group Sycamore Partners would value the lingerie company at $1.1 billion, the NYT writes.
Mr. Wexner bought Victoria’s Secret for $1 million in 1982. It now accounts for more than half of revenue at L Brands, which the 82-year-old billionaire has run for the past 57 years. Mr. Wexner will remain on the L Brands board and retain his stakes in both Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works, which will be what’s left in the L Brands empire. (When Mr. Wexner steps down, Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffett becomes the longest-serving blue-chip C.E.O., at 50 years.)
The retail tycoon’s long tenure ends under a cloud, with the NYT revealing a culture of misogyny, bullying and harassment at Victoria’s Secret and increased scrutiny over Mr. Wexner’s deep ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. From its peak in 2015, L Brands’ market value has fallen by about 75 percent as Victoria’s Secret has struggled to adjust to changing trends in fashion, especially notions of female beauty and representation in advertising.
An unexpected choice for UBS’s new boss
Ralph Hamers of the Dutch bank ING has been named the next C.E.O. of the Swiss banking giant, replacing Sergio Ermotti. Although it was an open secret that UBS was looking for Mr. Ermotti’s successor, Mr. Hamers was not at the top of market watchers’ shortlist.
What’s the plan now? Mr. Hamers has spent nearly 30 years at ING, and as chief was credited with a digital transformation of the predominantly retail-focused bank. UBS is a different beast, relying much more on its high-touch wealth management operations. It’s not hard to imagine that Mr. Hamers’ cost-cutting at ING could come to bear at UBS, which has recently struggled to keep its spending in check.
Mixed signals from the markets: The share prices of both UBS and ING were up on the news.
The White House sees no problem with monopolies
Having a few big companies dominating markets isn’t necessarily a bad thing, according to the Trump administration, Jim Tankersley of the NYT reports:
In their annual Economic Report of the President, released on Thursday, Mr. Trump and his advisers effectively dismiss an emerging line of economic research that finds large American companies increasingly dominate industries like telecommunications and tech, stifling competition and hurting consumers.
Yes, but: The administration is nonetheless looking into whether tech companies are too big, though that may be driven by settling political scores instead of purely economic concerns.
The E.U. sees many problems with monopolies
Officials in Brussels yesterday unveiled proposals to gain “technological sovereignty,” as policymakers in Europe fear that their economies are becoming overly reliant on “gatekeeper” tech companies based elsewhere (mainly the U.S.).
A key passage in the report suggests an expansive view of antitrust policy that could make life difficult for many U.S. tech giants:
Competition policy alone cannot address all the systemic problems that may arise in the platform economy. Based on the single market logic, additional rules may be needed to ensure contestability, fairness and innovation and the possibility of market entry, as well as public interests that go beyond competition or economic considerations.
Further reading: This being the E.U., the policy plan is spread across a convoluted array of reports, factsheets and communiqués. Politico has a useful summary.

Andrew had always known that his "aunts" were in love with each other. As he entered the kitchen, they scattered away from each other. Catherine cursed herself. Hadn't she just decided to be brave? And being brave also meant, that Andrew would find out about Betty and her. Andrew giggled.
Andrew: Don't let yourself get interrupted.

Cleo and Andrew Martin had grown up together like cousins, so she didn’t feel uncomfortable when she walked into him,still in her pjs, waiting for her one late moning after she’s had a gig the night before.
Cleo: Hi Andy. What brings you here? Are you gonna brag about that promotion you snagged last month? Auntie already told me. She’s so proud of you...
Andrew: No need to roll your eyes. I'm really trying. We can’t all be idols like you.
Cleo: Never said that. So what do you want? I’m a little hungover form last nights gig and actually just wanted to watch a movie today.
Andrew: Fine by me. I just wanted to tell you that I met a woman. She's from Pleasantview and I think I love her.
Cleo: Oh gosh, Andy, you can’t just drop something like that so casually! Sit down, I wanna hear everything!

But when his grades also started dropping, it was time for a serious conversation. Turned out it wasn't that Andrew dated Brandi, it was just that Jacob had forgotten some homework because of the new game he was gifted for his birthday. Understandable from Andrews point of view. Jacob promised to fetch up on his homework and they were okay again.

Yeah, Andrew was also really pleased to meet Brandi.
And she was so easy to talk to. It was almost like he was looking at his female counter part. Brandi had also been a teenage mom and had lost her husband way to early. Only that it was an accident and she didn't have time to prepare for the time after his death. And she had two more mouths to feed. And no security net like Catherine and Betty. Andrew was really amazed by this woman. While Catherine taught Dustin basic algebra, Brandi and Andrew chatted the evening away, talked about everything and nothing and at the end of the day Andrew knew, he had to see her again.

Meanwhile in the kitchen:
Andrew: Wow, careful, I almost ran into you! Brandi: Wow, sorry. I... I've got my mind somewhere else. Are you Mrs. Viejo's son? Andrew: Well no... she's... something like my aunt. I'm Andrew, Andrew Martin. Is Cat like... tutoring your... Brandi: Yes, Dustin is my son. He's got some trouble at school, but Mrs. Viejo is making a fuss out of nothing if you ask me. Andrew: She's a really engaged teacher, you know..? Brandi: Oh, my name is Brandi. Pleased to meet you, btw.

Andrew had been alone for long three years. His life so far felt like on time lapse. Father at 12, married at 16, wife diagnosed with cancer at 19, widowed at 21. For some time now, he had been trying a new online dating platform. But so far, he hadn't met anyone interesting. He wasn't even sure he was ready to love again. But he sure was craving to be close to another Sim, emotionally and physically.

Jacob: Great you came over, Sandra! I had a lot of fun, I hope you did too! Sandra *muffled*: Yeah, I think I'm getting better at SSX
Andrew watched Sandra walk down the road. It was only 8 PM.
Andrew: Sandra didn't stay long tonight. Jacob: Yeah, said something about watching her brothers. Andrew: Brothers? Did Morty have his green baby? Jacob: Yeah, haven't I told you? Andrew: Not that I remember. Tell him my congratulations, when you see him the next time. Jacob: Yeah... You'll keep it? Andrew: Who? The cat? No, you know how Betty thinks about cats.
