After her meal, she changed into a pair of dark wash cropped jeans and visited a tattoo parlor where an artist inked two words on her calves: Wild and Kitty. These additions join Thornes other small tats, including a small outline of a heart on her right shoulder and B on the inside of her right wrist. Her best friend, Bella Pendergast, has a matching mark of the latter.

Earlier this summer, Thorne, who split from longtime boyfriend Gregg Sulkin in August, took to Snapchat to share another special tattoo. She had her eyebrows microbladed (or semi-permanently inked) on July 31 at Microblading LA, in Los Angeles.
A technician used a needle dipped in ink to etch natural-looking strands on the former Disney stars face. Though it hurt (Ok now I get more numbing, she wrote at one point in the story), the pain paid off. YASSS brows, she captioned a final selfie.

Uber CEO Kalanick Argues With Driver Over Falling Fares

In a memo to Uber employees posted to the company"s blog on Tuesday night, CEO Travis Kalanick apologized for his behavior in a video showing him arguing with an Uber driver over falling fares in February.
"My job as your leader is to leadand that starts with behaving in a way that makes us all proud," he wrote. "That is not what I did, and it cannot be explained away. This is the first time I"ve been willing to admit that I need leadership help and I intend to get it."
In the dashcam video, Kalanick gets into a heated discussion with an Uber driver named Fawzi Kamel over the price of fares on the app, with the CEO ultimately telling Kamel: "Some people don"t like to take responsibility for their own s---. They blame everything in their life on somebody else."
Here"s the full text of Kalanick"s memo, as shared by the company to its blog:
"By now I"m sure you"ve seen the video where I treated an Uber driver disrespectfully. To say that I am ashamed is an extreme understatement. My job as your leader is to leadand that starts with behaving in a way that makes us all proud. That is not what I did, and it cannot be explained away.
"It"s clear this video is a reflection of meand the criticism we"ve received is a stark reminder that I must fundamentally change as a leader and grow up. This is the first time I"ve been willing to admit that I need leadership help and I intend to get it.
"I want to profoundly apologize to Fawzi, as well as the driver and rider community, and to the Uber team.
"Travis"
Uber"s very bad year is continuing as more evidence of a toxic work environment, starting at the top, comes to light.

The chairman of the City Councils Black Caucus on Wednesday urged the Chicago Public Schools to come clean about how many South Side high schools it intends to close to make way for a $75 million high school in englewood.
one day after Mayor Rahm Emanuel said the new school would be built in Englewood, Ald. Roderick Sawyer (6th) demanded to know the political price South Side residents would have to pay to get it.
I want to know where its gonna be. I want to know if its gonna displace other schools. Are they moving one school into another? I want to know what type of school it will be and what the financial commitment is. I want as much information as I can get. I want to know everything, Sawyer said.
Im not advocating for school closings. But I acknowledge there are tremendously underutilized schools in the Englewood area. If it means strengthening the overall school system in Englewood, I would consider going along with school closings. But we need to know the specifics.
CPS spokeswoman Emily Bittnersaid she had no details to share since no final decisions have been made.
CPS will continue listening to the community about its priorities around a potential high school on the South Side before cementing future plans, she said in an email.
Sources tell the Sun-Times no specific location has beenidentified for the new school that certainlywould result in the closing of several existing SouthSidehighschools.
Leon Finney was among the dozens of supporters, including the Englewood Community Advisory Council, who asked the Board of Education in recent months to put the new school in Englewood.
Its a great thing for people who think theyve been kicked around and ignored and abandoned, said Finney, a former member of the Chicago Planning Commission. At least for the mayor to say hes going to be behind this, thats important. Its important for the mayor, for the aldermen, for public officials to listen to the people.
Sawyer said his personal preference would be to make the new high school a hybrid.
I would like to have a selective enrollment school in the area, the alderman said. We dont have enough on the South Side. But I would also love to have a strong neighborhood school. So my preference is some kind of combination. Half selective enrollment, half neighborhood school. Thats an option Id like to look at.
Kids could benefit from having high achievers and neighborhood kids together. . . . If kids are struggling, they can see what they can become.
Five aldermen represent parts of Englewood: Sawyer, Ray Lopez (15th), Toni Foulkes (16th), David Moore (17th) and Willie Cochran (20th).
Sawyer said he hopes to talk this out with all of them and hash out lingering security concerns once CPS provides specifics.
Anytime theres talk of closing neighborhood schools, theres concern with kids crossing [gang] boundary lines if there is such a thing anymore. It seems like every block is a boundary line these days. But I ultimately hope we can get past that, Sawyer said.
Citing safety concerns, Emanuel spared high schools from the 2013 round of school closings that targeted a record 50 schools in predominantly black neighborhoods on the South and West sides.
The mayor was determined to avoid a repeat of the savage beating death of 16-year-old Fenger High School student Derrion Albert, an attack captured on a cellphone video that went viral, after an earlier round of high school closings.
High school consolidations could be addressed after a five-year school closing moratorium expires in the fall of 2018. The Chicago Sun-Times reported in late December that between four and six under-enrolled South Side high schools could be on the chopping block to make way for a new high school.
Families in Chinatown and Roseland also haveasked the district to put a new high school in their communities.
On Tuesday, while at the site of the old Kennedy-King College to highlight a previously announced plan to build vehicle maintenance facility on the Englewood site, the mayor highlighted the new high school as part of his holistic strategy to fight crime by rebuilding long-neglected inner-city neighborhoods.
We also know investing in our education, our afterschool and summer jobs here which is why were talking about a new high school in this area is important to our safety and vibrancy of the community, the mayor said.
The mayor did not mention the downside of the equation: the $75 million Englewood high school will be built not far from the new Whole Foods at 63rd and Halsted across the street from Kennedy-King College only after several under-enrolled South Side high schools are closed.
Five South Side high schools count 150 or fewer total students in all four grades. TEAM Englewood, 6201 S. Stewart, had just 15 freshman as of an October count. At Robeson, it was 23 freshman in a school of only 152 children. Just five years ago, Robeson, 6835 S. Normal, had 192 students in its freshmen class, and a total of 734.
Since CPS assigns money for hiring teachers based on the number of students they enroll, those population plunges have led the district to ship extra money to several high schools just so they could offer a full slate of courses. And less funding means fewer programs to lure new students.
Most of the South Side high schools with the lowest enrollments also have special education populations more than twice CPS average of about 13 percent. For example, just over 36 percent of students at Robeson and at Hope High School, 5515 S. Lowe, are special education.
Kalief Browder being questioned in May 2010 after being accused of stealing a backpack in the Bronx. Spike TV / The Weinstein Company
Settlement proceedings between New York City and the family of a young man who killed himself after serving three brutal years in jail for a crime he wasnt charged with have been placed on hold, BuzzFeed News has learned.
Now, the brother of Kalief Browder is accusing city officials and the court system of playing games and delaying settlement proceedings in the familys wrongful death lawsuit.
Its been a long, drawn out process, Akeem Browder told BuzzFeed News. We go back to court on March 21. Judge is probably going to do what theyve been doing which is prolonging. Its a game that they play.
Kalief was 16 when he was arrested in May 2010, accused of stealing a backpack in the Bronx. With his family unable to make his $3,000 bail, he was hauled off to Rikers Island, which has been an alleged hotbed of excessive violence against young men, and forced to stay there.
Akeem, 34, said finalizing the settlement in the $20 million wrongful death lawsuit ground to a halt after his and Kaliefs mother, Venida Browder, died in October 2016.
Akeem says that his mother was ready to settle the case the next week.
She went into hospital on a Thursday, Friday she passed. That following Thursday the lawsuit would have been settled, Akeem said.

After Venida Browder died, her other children Akeem, his three brothers and one sister took the case over. But that meant going through the process of moving the case to surrogacy court, assigning a new administrator for the case a role which they all agreed his sister, Nicole, would take on plus, they had to hire new attorney.
We get an attorney, we go to court. A month later, the court says, there is a problem, Akeem says.
Venida Browders estranged husband, who she kicked out of the house years earlier but never divorced, showed up to court, Akeem says, claiming to have a stake in the settlement.
He comes to the court. Court perceives him to be a husband. Even though he hasnt been around for years. Turns into months of playing games, Akeem said.
A spokesperson for the citys law department said, The court thought it prudent to put these proceedings on hold to allow time for the resolution of estate issues arising from the passing of Ms. Browder. The City stands ready to resume settlement discussions as soon as it is determined what parties would be entitled to share in the proceeds from a settlement.
Kalief Browders brother, Akeem Browder Spike TV / The Weinstein Company
Kalief spent over 1,000 days at the prison known for its brutal conditions for young men and women and 800 of those days were in solitary confinement. He appeared in court over 30 times before his case was ultimately dismissed.
His story became widely reported when on June 6, 2015, at age 22, Kalief committed suicide, hanging himself with an air conditioning cord out the window of the familys Bronx home.
The wrongful death lawsuit alleges that Kalief was tortured and beaten during the three years he spent at Rikers, leaving him unable to cope mentally even after he was finally released.
Once a person commits a crime, and they know justly that they did the crime, they can come back from that, former Rikers Corrections Officer Gary Heyward told BuzzFeed News. In his situation he did nothing wrong, thats a tougher situation to handle I did nothing wrong, and Im going through the same hostile lifestyle.
Heyward, who was fired from Rikers for selling drugs, sneaking contraband into the jail, and pimping out female officers crimes he served two years in prison for appears along with other current and former Rikers COs in a new documentary, time: the kalief browder story, which premieres on Spike TV on March 1.
If you went through so much, only to find out that youre not guilty, theres no telling whats going through his brain, how am I going to fit into society he probably felt helpless, Heyward says.
Asked if he believes that any progress will be made at the familys next court date on March 21, Akeem says, Theyre just going to delay it again.
Court has seen us four times, once a month, Akeem says. Theyre going back and forth and saying, were not ready. The court is not ready. The system plays games in anyway they can. When it comes to taking a life or taking someone off the street. Justice doesnt come for years. Its a harsh game to play with human life.

FC Barcelona 2-1 Leganes - All Goals & Extended Highlights - La Liga 19/02/2017 HD
Barcelona moved top of La Liga on the night Luis Enrique confirmed he will not continue as coach next season as Gareth Bale was sent-off in Real Madrids thrilling 3-3 draw at home to Las Palmas.
Enrique announced his decision to step down after Barcas 6-1 rout of Sporting Gijon earlier on Wednesday which leaves Barcelona a point clear at the top, but having played a game more.
Bales first ever red card in a Madrid shirt look set to cost the European champions dear as Las Palmas led the 10 men 3-1 with just three minutes remaining.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo struck twice in an incredible finale to salvage a point.
Madrids slip up, though, means a third title in as many seasons for enrique is back in barcelonas hands with the two sides still to meet in April.
I will not be the coach of Barcelona next season, Enrique said, citing the need for a break from the pressures at the Camp Nou as the reason for his decision.
It is a difficult, measured and well thought out decision and I think I have to be loyal to what I think.
Read | FC Barcelona oust Atletico de Madrid in Copa del Rey semis, Luis Suarez sent off
After Barca had swept aside Sporting with all of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar on the scoresheet, Madrid also looked in for an easy night at the Bernabeu when Isco slotted home the opener after just eight minutes.
However, Real were in front for just two minutes before Tana spun Sergio Ramos on the edge of the box before firing high past Keylor Navas.
The game turned just three minutes into the second-half when Bale uncharacteristically lost his temper after a late challenge from Jonathan Viera.
The Welshman pushed Viera to the ground and was punished with a red card.
He has apologised. He is not happy with the sending-off, said Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane.
Things got much worse for the hosts in the next 10 minutes as, firstly, Viera converted from the penalty spot after a clear handball by Ramos inside the area.
And then a huge mistake from Navas allowed Kevin-Prince Boateng to knock the ball past the Costa Rican as he flew from his goal before rolling the ball into an empty net.
Ronaldo to the rescue
However, despite their numerical disadvantage, Madrid laid seige to the Las Palmas goal and were rewarded in the final minutes.
Ronaldo fired a penalty into the top corner after Dani Castellano was penalised for handball.
And the World Player of the Year then bulleted home a header from a corner a minute from time to salvage a point.
We are not leaders, but the league is still open and we are not going to give up, added Zidane.
Barca enjoyed a far more comfortable night against a Sporting side still mired in the relegation zone.
Messi netted his 36th goal in as many games this season in unusual fashion on his 500th start before Juan Rodriguezs own goal made it 2-0.
The visitors were handed a brief lifeline when Carlos Castro pulled a goal back.
However, there was no time for any Barca doubts to seep in as Suarezs spectacular volley restored their two-goal lead.
Paco Alcacer was given a rare chance for the second half as he replaced Suarez and took just four minutes to make it 4-1 when he slotted home from Messis pass.
Messi also hit the bar from a trademark free-kick before the five-time World Player of the Year was rested for the final half hour as he was replaced by Andre Gomes.
Neymar took advantage of the Argentines absence to take over free-kick duty and he produced a stunning strike of his own into the top corner for his first La Liga goal at the Camp Nou this season.
Ivan Rakitic completed the scoring when he lashed into the roof of the net three minutes from time.
