Title: Ultimate Spider-Man Annual
Since Peter's break-up with Mary Jane, his life's been having some severe downturns. Meanwhile, Kitty Pryde of the X-Men's been having her own romantic problems since her relationship with Bobby Drake fizzled out...
SM Core Title
Summary: Spider-Man & Kitty Pride
Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Pencils: Mark Brooks
Inker: Jaime Mendoza
Reprinted In: Spider-Man TPB (Ultimate) #15
Reprinted In: Ultimate Spider-Man Reprints (Hardcover) #8
Kitty Pryde's not having a good day, as she engages in typical training in the danger room, feeling like something is missing in her life, something that isn't X-Men related. Peter Parker's having the same types of thoughts, as he fights the Rhino in downtown New York. He defeats the Rhino, gets a less than stellar reception from the armed forces, and takes off.
At a bbq with the rest of the X-Men, Kitty is frustrated by Bobby Drake's not missing her, and disappears from lunch. At the same time, Peter ruminates on why he can't have a special someone in his life, because of how dangerous his life is as Spider-Man, and his inability to trust Mary Jane to do what he says when her life may be at risk.
Kitty talks with Jean about being lonely, and wants to maybe try and contact Spider-Man, to try and date someone outside of the X-Men and the Institute. Jean's not sure it's a good idea, but Kitty persuades her. Kitty nervously calls Peter at home, and after an awkward beginning to the conversation, the two plan to hang out together after school one day. Peter and Kitty meet outside of his school and go to the local mall, and discuss mutants, superhero friends (or the lack of), secret identities, and romantic relationships. When Flash and Kong pelt the two with some garbage, they leave the mall and head up to the roof of the building. Kitty continues to talk to Peter about relationships, and how maybe he could date someone if they could protect themselves and had powers of their own. Kitty freaks out when she says this, and dives through the building, but then comes back, even though she's embarassed.
Peter tells Kitty that he wasn't freaked out, and as the two are about to kiss, an explosion is heard in the distance. Peter puts on his costume, and Kitty demands to come with him. He wants her to stay on the roof, but once she proves to him that she can't be hurt, by putting her arm through his chest, he swings down with her in his arms.
The commotion on the street is caused by Herman Schultz, the Shocker. As he blasts members of law enforcement, Kitty shows up on the scene, and Shocker blasts right through her. She mocks him, phases through his gauntlets, short-circuiting them, and then lets Spider-Man finish him up by making him run into a web-net. As the onlookers applaud, Peter and Kitty swing away.
Back on the rooftops, the two talk briefly before the X-jet shows up to pick up Kitty. As the jet hovers above, the two decide they'd like to get together again, when Kitty asks Peter if he was going to kiss her before. He says that he was going to, and then, as the X-Jet hovers above, the two finally kiss. She disappears into the jet. When Peter gets home, he finds an e-mail from Kitty, and he's pretty happy with the turn of events.
This was an extremely well done Ultimate Spider-Man story, and makes this annual worth the extra money. There's an important development in Spider-Man's life, and it's all told with a minimum of action sequences. The emphasis here is clearly on the writing and characterization, to set up a new romantic relationship that doesn't feel overly forced or artificial. It's hard for a jaded reader to really accept that Peter won't end up with MJ, because of the movies, and the mainstream universe, but this issue really makes you forget all about MJ. Bendis writes Kitty extremely well, and as a result, what you have here is a very honest, truthful Ultimate Spider-Man story.
The duo of Kitty Pryde and Peter Parker might sound extremely weird at first, but when you get right down to it, it actually makes sense for the Ultimate versions of the characters. Bendis puts it all together, and highlights just why these two are actually compatible with each other, and also provides Peter with a new love interest where there's a lot of interesting story potential which hasn't been delved into yet. It's stuff like this which really makes the Ultimate version of the character that much different from his mainstream counterpart.
The art by Brooks is very well done, but it's still weird to see Ultimate Spider-Man being drawn by anyone who's not Bagley. It was great work though, and if anyone had to follow up Bagley on the title, Brooks would be a good candidate. His action stuff is well done, but more important than that, considering this is Ultimate Spider-Man, he can draw great civilian scenes, with just subtle facial expressions, just like Bagley. The two of them make the talking heads scenes more than just talking heads scenes, and infuse them with great emotion.
A high rating for this book, because it was just an excellent read. Moreover, it felt like a good value for the cost, as it was not that quick a read, and had a lot of meaty conversation in it. The dialogue felt natural, and the artwork just jumped off the page. It was a sweet, honest, romantic and truthful story, and the artwork fully complimented these aspects of the script.

Plan the relocation process in advance.
Provide yourself at least three months to put together a clear relocation plan.

You can also discuss with them what needs to be transferred to the new office, what should be discarded and donated. Advanced planning will help streamline the relocation process and eliminate unnecessary hiccups.
Plan for coverage during the relocation period.
It's not advisable to halt the operation during the relocation period, instead you can close your office on a weekend, or you can designate one employee as the direct contact or get a virtual receptionist to answer calls "live" in your business name to ensure that client and customer support is uninterrupted.
Careful labeling of boxes and containers.
Sorting essentials and nonessentials and careful labeling of boxes and containers can provide easy and seamless unpacking.
Transfer the non essentials first.
Transfer first the non essentials to the new office space and keep the stuff that is necessary for daily operation until the day you move to reduce downtime.

"It's not about the money. It never is."
If you're wondering how to communicate effectively with your spouse about money management, this needs to be your mantra.
Funny thing about the green stuff — it's at the root of so much consternation and discord. It makes the world go 'round, and yet there's never enough of it — even for those who have most of it.
And when it comes to marriage, no other topic causes more fighting.
Money is also the second-leading cause of divorce, behind infidelity. A 2017 Divorce and Debt study by Magnify Money found that 21 percent of divorcees cited money as the cause of their divorces.
And the irony? The percentage was highest for those with the highest incomes and lowest for those with the lowest incomes.
What's the message here? If you don't want to be part of that fallout statistic, how do you handle the pragmatic reality of budgeting finances and saving money while protecting your marriage?
Learning how to have better communication with your spouse about money can benefit your marriage in more ways than just financial ones.
And the lessons are as much about what not to do as they are about what to do.
According to financial expert and radio host Dave Ramsey, there are 7 money mistakes couples make when handling finances in their marriage.
If you're going to put your marriage first in your life, you need to treat it as a non-negotiable partnership. It's a whole, not a divided-up, color-coded pie chart.
Keeping separate accounts and divvying up bills according to earning potential is a recipe for disaster.
What happens when one person loses their job? Or a commission check doesn't come in? And how do you plan for a life with mutual goals and integrated responsibilities?
Are you spouses or roommates? In a marriage, it's important that both spouses are jointly and equally involved in the finances.
Simply put, your lifestyle needs to jive with your income. Maybe you don't mind spending money but your spouse wants to save money.
You may have big plans and indulgent dreams, but, as the saying goes, "Wishing doesn't make it so."
So one of you happy dances at the thought of crunching numbers and the other gets starry-eyed dreaming up DIY projects. Finances don't belong to one spouse while the other spouse assumes a passive, deferent role. Both of you have to learn how to save and budget money.
You married one another for how your individual uniquenesses magically create a more vibrant whole. You balance one another. And both of your perspectives and insights are essential to the success of your finances and your marriage.
Just because one person earns more than the other doesn't mean that one is working harder than the other. And it certainly doesn't mean that the one bringing in the big bucks should have more power in the relationship.
You're on the same team, hopefully doing work that you both love and excel in, even if one is a full-time parent or student.
There's no excuse for sneaking behind your spouse's back to open a personal account or credit card. If learning how to communicate with your spouse about money is your goal, complete honesty is imperative.
No, you don't have to drive a Tesla just because you got bumped to the C-suite.
And no, you aren't obligated to break the bank to indulge your kids whenever they want something. Think about their own developing relationships with money, and help them develop a good work ethic while teaching them about the value of money.
How do you take these cautionary guidelines and implement them in a positive way in your financial conversations as a couple?
To borrow a little wisdom, always remember to keep the main thing the main thing. And that should be your marriage. Remember, it's not about the money. It never is.
Communicating with your spouse about money is really about communicating with your spouse — the emotions, the history, the dreams, the fears, the expectations, and disappointments.
Money, requisite as it is, is really just a mirror to you as individuals and as a couple.
If you can keep that in mind as you broach one of the most trepidatious topics in any relationship, you can actually use money management skills to enrich your marriage.
Here are 7 tips on how to communicate effectively with your spouse about money management in your marriage.
When you consider how much personal history goes into creating the adult that enters into a relationship with another, there's a reason to marvel. Think about when and how you and your spouse met. Did you meet in college? Online? On a blind date?
However you came together, you came to your relationship from different worlds, different families, different life experiences. And yet, you knew you stood a greater chance of reaching your life potential and purpose by being together.
It shouldn't surprise you, then, that your experiences with and feelings about money may be very different.
Did one of you come from a long line of inherited wealth while the other knew how to stretch food stamps over a month?
Did one of you come from a strict home that imposed frugality and saving, despite having money for a more comfortable lifestyle?
Did one of you grow up stashing every bit of birthday and Christmas cash in a safe place, just in case you had to fend for yourself?
This component of understanding money is incredibly important to understand how you both think about and behave around it.
It's one of the most powerful insights you will ever have into who your spouse is and how they think and feel.
It will also speak volumes about what they need from your relationship.
Toyota created an interrogative method, now employed in many businesses, called The 5 Whys. The purpose is to explore cause-and-effect relationships underlying a problem by asking "Why is that?" after each response. Eventually, a root "aha" is reached and effective action can be taken.
Looking at your financial communication as an exploration into why you both feel and act the way you do with regard to money will strengthen your bond.
You may learn that your spouse feels overly burdened with financial responsibility. Or you may reveal that your childhood memories of never having enough are triggered when your spouse tightens the purse strings.
Perhaps your worries about having money for healthcare, children, or retirement underlie your frugality.
The important thing is that you treat your spouse's emotions around money as tenderly as you would want your own feelings treated.
Money conversations don't have to be all doom-and-gloom. They can actually be a very positive (even if occasionally stressful) step towards making your dreams come true.
If you're the one initiating the conversation, take the leading role in admitting where your spending habits could use some improvement. If you're carrying debt into your marriage, clear the air ahead of time.
Either way, be transparent and complete and make it safe for your spouse to do the same.
Once again, it's not about the money. Money is just a vehicle and a reflection of your choices.
Look your spouse in the eyes, hold their hand, don't flinch with confessions, and affirm always the priority of your marriage.
Boring as it may sound, getting out of debt can be an exciting prospect — especially if you do it as a team. Make a list of the must-do's in addition to the want-to's, then get to work devising a plan to accomplish them.
Keep in mind all that you have learned about one another when exploring your histories and emotions, and be fair. There is always a way to come away gratified, even if you have to sacrifice for a while.
Congratulate yourselves as a team for working through what can often be a difficult issue. You make a great team and deserve to celebrate by doing something special.
You will better know how to communicate with your spouse about money if you choose to approach the topic proactively and positively. By focusing on your dreams, values, and feelings, you can more easily avoid the reactivity that so often surrounds financial conversations.
Before you open the conversation, and as you approach each new step, remind yourself that it's not about the money. It never is.


We should not be surprised to see many examples of crossing the route, as Dodge sold more than 105,000 units, only in 2015 and around 94,000 in 2014. With prices ranging from $ 21,990 for a two-line, four-cylinder, in -drive model front wheel nearly $ 40K for a boatload of three rows, V-6 all-wheel drive R / T, the trip certainly casts a wide net on the segment of midsize crossover.
El Cruce also trim (hereinafter only the R / T in the hierarchy) of our test car wears a unique front and rear style; "Platinum Chrome" roof rails, side skirts, and front and rear bumpers accents; aluminum wheels 19 inches; and some smaller additional decorations. Finish basic black of different textures and sheens, the interior offers a utilitarian style instead of flash, with leather seats with mesh inserts, steering wheel knob leather-wrapped and displacement, touchscreen Uconnect system Infotainment 8, 4 ubiquitous and intuitive inch Chrysler, power driver's seat and a storage box trick under the flip-up seat cushion of the front passenger, which makes it easier to keep phones and tablets out of sight, but easily accessible, as long as there is no one sitting there, of course.
Our test model also included a $ 1,250 Popular Equipment Group (heated front seats and steering wheel, remote start, alarm); USA $ 1,295 navigation and backup group (navigation, security camera, park assist, as well as the usual collection of travel services SiriusXM and transit); and finally $ 225 integrated booster seats for children crawling back around these portable plastic reinforcements dirt grab a thing of the past. And the price is very competitive between the junctions of three rows; Our charged almost $ 34,660 thousand travel is cheaper than, for example, a non-options Chevrolet Traverse AWD LT, which costs $ 36,900.
So it's no wonder Dodge announced the trip as "the three V-6 AWD crossover lines more affordable." It is, however, more spacious. Encouraged by the ease of use and functionality of the seats in the second row of reinforcement before, thought it was the right for children to fill the third row now, and that's when things an obstacle. Despite being equipped with the necessary articulation to allow the second line of the theory of movement out of the way, still a painfully tight through the opening of the third row grip. Fortunately, children in our test group had the joy simply throwing on the backs of the second row seats to get to the third row. It is worth mentioning that despite the front seats offer comfort levels Barcalounger, the second row is scarce for grain-fed adults. Frankly, most of Journey competitors offer better second and third row accommodation.
Dynamically speaking, driving the ride is like riding a roller sensory deprivation chamber. The steering, brakes and other controls are vague and feel disconnected, even compared with three rows uninvolving competitors like the Toyota Highlander. And cars like the Toyota 4Runner and Jeep Grand Cherokee offer the kind of off-road capability that would allow the trip spinning your wheels. But the trip will run between those for whom the burden of everyday supplanted longer any need to consider the subtle complexities of refining capacities tracking chassis or rock.
Despite their indifferent controls, Day, at least in the game when it comes to quantifying their ability to go, stop and turn. Equipped with the optional 3.6-liter Pentastar program V-6 and all-wheel drive, our test car needs 7.8 seconds to reach 60 mph and 16.1 to complete the quarter mile, clocking in a few tenths of numbers published 2013 Dodge Journey V-6 previously tested. With 283 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, corporate V-6 competitive strip, but the engine seems really did not wake until about 3500 rpm, and the six-speed automatic is indifferent. Slow to respond changed manually or left to their own devices, the transmission on our test car repeatedly exhibited an awkward two to three upshift that probably added a few tenths of acceleration.
Stop respectable 70 mph consumes about 177 feet, and 225 / 55R-19 tires Kumho Solus KH16 held long enough to leave 0.76g grip on our skidpad 300 feet long. These numbers fall fairly close to the series produced by the passage of medium size, as two lines Nissan Murano (178 feet 0.78g) and three rows of Toyota Highlander (186 feet 0.80 g). So while the drive is able to hold the package in sight when pressed, he does not like much. Finally, we were disappointed with the 17 mpg overall returned our trip. To compare apples to apples larger, which is the same figure mileage we got in our test of his older brother, the Dodge Durango with the 360-hp Hemi V-8. If fuel efficiency is your goal, there are more prudent ways to mount a trip to the V-6 engine.
It has been said that life is a journey, not a destination. Dodge Journey owners, on the other hand, are encouraged to concentrate on the destination party, as there are many competitors who contribute most compelling travel partners.

"I did just let her know that sometimes adults make mistakes and just like children, there are consequences. Sometimes adult mistakes are a little bigger. We can't just go stand in time out, but she will be taken care of no matter what. She will get the help that she needs," said Gagnon. "She was a great teacher. My daughter enjoyed having her so much."
We are continuing to cooperate with the Colonial Heights Police Department during their investigation. This is a personnel matter and I have no further comment.

the story of Giant Rag Eaters
since the beginning of man, women have had periods, thus is the continuation of man. the conundrum of course is that during the menstral cycle of a woman, man is hesitant to pleasure women with cunnilingus, which as many women can attest, is deeply satisfying and gratifying as the man is now in a position of servitude as well as subordination. the pleasure is multi-pronged. Many of the world's greatest civilizations have crumbled from the struggle for what became known as rag eating; the trojans, the romans, the germanians (surpassed by the prussians who would later be categorized as GIANT RAG EATERS), as well as the mayans, the aztecs, and the antlantians. The list truly does go one, but the night is late and I'm trying to read an analysis on the film V for VEndetta which I just watched because I don't know what the fu(k happened... How was V created? Was it the plague that caused a metaphysical change in his body? or was he always what he was.. and what exactly was he? he took a torrent of bullets in the end, many of which landed in his legs and arms which would leave most men's appendages uselss, but within the second and a half it takes most highly trained tactical operators to reload a pistol, he dispatched some 10 or so guys. I guess he DID walk out of a burning complex after all his skin was melted off. Who was he too? Wasn't Evey's father, I mean she did kiss him and he allowed it, there was clearly a romantic desire which he knew he could not give into (his schlong had probably been burned off, or beyond use). As well, every character shown to be wronged by the High Chancellor such as the lesbian girl valerie and her lover, and the gay tv host guy were there at the end, as well as the girl with the glasses. was that to say every story of wrong by the government was a fabrication by V to win the favor of Evey, the people, as well as the viewer? that
Of Mice and Men Female Theme
In the times John Steinbeck lived in women were not held in high regard but they were just present to serve men. However, they still tried to yearn for a better future by exploiting men. The character Curley's wife in the novel is a victim of society and her dream. She is married to Curley who neglects her and so because of her loneliness she is always seeking attention. She wears too much makeup and dresses like a "whore"
9/11 Tragic Crimes
What if everything you were told by people you trusted was wrong? What if the people who was supposed to protect you from danger were the ones who put you in it? What if 9/11, one of the most tragic days in America's history, was caused by our own government? What if this was an inside job? Could our government have masterminded this horrific crime?
Bowling For Columbine Reaction
Michael Moore handled the documentary very well. He had well worded questions and responses that really nailed the people he was interviewing. Michael Moore really knows how to persuade and talk. For example, he convinced Kmart to stop selling ammunition to handguns and assault weapons. Another subject he spoke about in the documentary was "Why does America have so many more gun murders than the rest of the world?" He spoke of many different possible reasons, but never really found the real reason.
The Role Gender Plays in Much Ado About Nothing
This is evident in the disastrous wedding scene between Hero and Claudio. When Claudio accuses Hero of being disgrace to her family, he is believed. Hero denies Claudio's claims that she was flirting with another man at her window, but Don Pedro says he definitely saw her too. Hero was found "guilty" because the men said she was (4.1.30-110). She was not declared innocent until Benedick and the friar discover what happened and told everyone (4.1.186-255 and 4.2.50).

He goes on to talk about how much she hates her for being a faker and plans on saying, "…Marla, you big fake, you get out" (Palahniuk 24). This shows the irony that he wants her to leave for being a faker although he is just as much at fault. This can be related to men being angry that women were coming in and competing for jobs even though it was a completely reasonable thing to
Hitch James Haveron Analysis
Alex figured if she thinks im good looking mabey she will love me tonight. And sarah figured if she could avoid love it would go away and all guys were jerks. In the end they both relize there ways of logic towards love were off. So due to those common mistakes many individuals lack the ability to go out and find that special one. They just sit back and watch as another man who will mistreat that girl come in and ruin all hope.
Why Does Othello Believe Desdemona Committed Adultery In Text/Film?
Othello, addressing the Duke and council members about Desdemona traveling with him, states "Vouch with me heaven; I therefore beg it not to please the palate of my appetite…In my defunct and proper satisfaction." (Line 261-264). He is stating that he is much too old to be taking her along for his sexual satisfaction especially since his sexual urges are dead. Later on in both text and film, Iago, on more than one occasion, fills Othello with lies about Cassio, Othello's second in command, and Desdemona. He claims that they have had sex. Iago is playing on Othello's insecurities.
Medea Text Response
Euripides has been accused of being a misogynist as well as the world's first feminist. In your view, do the portrayals of Medea and Jason allow such contradictory interpretations? Euripides' Greek tragic play, 'Medea', depicts a wife's desire to right the wrongs done to her by her husband and in the pursuit of satisfaction, she commits the heinous of crimes, infanticide. The play is set in a patriarchal society, where women are treated as mere tools to satisfy their male partners. Euripides' portrays Medea as both a weak and strong woman, being able to stand up to some of the male characters and simultaneously succumb to their presence.

I haven't been at my best – Griezmann
Antoine Griezmann admitted he was yet to get to his best at Barcelona and said he needed more time.
Griezmann has struggled to make his mark at Barca since arriving from Atletico Madrid for €120million last year.
The forward has scored just 17 goals in 58 games in all competitions for the LaLiga giants, who are struggling in 13th in the table.
Griezmann said he was prepared to accept criticism of his performances, but highlighted it had been a difficult period for the club.
"I accept them because I know that we are not seeing the best Griezmann," he told Movistar on Monday.
He added: "In a year and a half I have had three coaches ... that's not easy. I need time to adapt to my colleagues and they to me, and on top of system changes.
"In addition, the candidates for the presidency also talk about me. I don't think it's the best thing for me for them to talk about whether or not I'm a good signing."
Griezmann has scored two goals and provided one assist in eight LaLiga games so far this season.
His big chance conversion (50 per cent) is at its highest since 2017-18, when it was 59.3 per cent and he netted 19 league goals for Atletico Madrid.
However, his involvement at Barca compared to Atletico is down. Only once during five seasons at Atletico – in 2014-15 – did he have fewer successful passes per 90 minutes than so far this season (28.4). His 43.4 touches per 90 this campaign are lower than he had in any of his seasons at Atletico.
Griezmann has also created just 0.7 chances per 90 minutes in LaLiga in 2020-21, and not once did he have a lower figure at Atletico.
Coming off a 1-0 loss to Atletico, Barcelona visit Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League on Tuesday.

De Bruyne v Grealish: Creative kings set to take centre stage in Man City v Aston Villa
Manchester City and Aston Villa would have faced each other on the opening weekend of this Premier League campaign had Pep Guardiola's side not reached the final stages of the Champions League in Lisbon and earned an extra week to recuperate.
Plenty of what's happened since then - for both of these clubs and throughout the division - would have been impossible to predict, with a strange season springing surprises at every turn.
However, had City and Villa played one another in September, most observers would have confidently looked towards Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish to supply the creative inspiration for their respective teams.
It is safe to say each star midfielder has lived up to his billing over the first half of the campaign.
Grealish earned a long-awaited England debut earlier this season and was a bright spark when England suffered a 2-0 Nations League defeat in Belgium.
Before the match, the 25-year-old revealed he spent his final preparations casting an admiring eye over a certain member of the opposition.
"For the past 24 hours, I've been watching little clips of my favourite players like I do before every game," he told Sky Sports.
"I watch loads of clips. I watch clips of De Bruyne, I watch clips of [Philippe] Coutinho, just players that are in my position, really.
"That's what I've done since I was a little kid and I still do it to this day - I have no shame in saying that and that's what gets me going for football matches."
After the match, De Bruyne conceded Grealish had also captured his attention.
"I rate him very highly," he said. "He's somebody I mentioned before, talking to the team-mates at City, in a random conversation.
"In England they talked about creative problems in midfield, but he brings that to a team. He deserves a shot."
Those warm words from De Bruyne seemed to carry a little more weight when a move for Grealish was rumoured to be one of the topics of discussion during Guardiola's successful contract extension negotiations in November.
Given the City boss already must try to accommodate the playmaking talents of Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva around De Bruyne, it is questionable whether he needs such a reinforcement in his creative department.
However, Opta data from this season shows Grealish is doing plenty to match the reigning PFA Players' Player of the Year.
King creators
Both De Bruyne and Grealish have started 15 Premier League games apiece this season, with the latter playing one more minute overall.
In that time, the Villa man has created 55 chances to De Bruyne's 51, although City's number 17 has 10 assists to Grealish's seven following an outrageous outside-of-the-boot cross for John Stones to open the scoring in Sunday's 4-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace.
Overall, they are second and third in the Premier League's assists table, Harry Kane's fruitful relationship with Son Heung-min helping the England captain to amass 11 for Tottenham.
Manchester United talisman Bruno Fernandes separates them at the top when it comes to chances created, having crafted 54 for his Old Trafford colleagues.
Those numbers continue to look incredibly strong when projected across Europe's top five leagues.
Hakan Calhanoglu has created 59 chances for Serie A leaders Milan, although only six of those have been converted, while the continental top five is rounded out by Lyon's Memphis Depay being level with De Bruyne on 51.
In terms of assists, Kane and De Bruyne are again one and two from Bayern Munich's Thomas Muller (nine) and Roma's Henrikh Mkhitaryan (eight).
Goals, guile and grubby work
De Bruyne has fired off 57 shots this season (17 on target) to Grealish's 40 (14 on target).
However, City's designated penalty taker has only scored three, with his first Premier League goal from open play this season coming earlier in January at Chelsea.
Grealish has weighed in with five for Dean Smith's men, including a double in their logic-defying 7-2 evisceration of champions Liverpool.
Grealish has 81.2 per cent accuracy for passes ending in the final third, outstripping De Bruyne's 73.5 per cent, although the City favourite attempting 105 crosses and corners to the younger man's 51 goes some way to explaining this discrepancy.
In terms of dribble success rate, they are neck and neck again, with Grealish returning 63.8 per cent and De Bruyne 63.
Grealish has attempted 69 dribbles to his idol's 46, which does a little to explain the frequency with which he draws free-kicks.
His 73 fouls won is comfortably the highest in the division, with Palace's Wilfred Zaha (51), Liverpool's Sadio Mane (43) and Kane (40) up next.
A key reason for this could be how integral Grealish is to so much of Villa's attacking play. As per Opta, he is responsible for 11 per cent of his team's passes. By contrast, Zaha and Kane make five per cent and Mane four.
As players who cherish the ball so much, De Bruyne and his counterpart do plenty to get it back.
The UEFA midfielder of the year has made 74 recoveries, 27 tackles and seven interceptions in the Premier League this season, compared to 79 recoveries, 23 tackles and eight interceptions for Grealish.
It seems implausible that these two midfield maestros will stray too far from the thick of the action at the Etihad Stadium, which should make for a very watchable encounter.
Whether or not it amounts to a live audition for Grealish, only time will tell.
Nikola Jokic has become a more aggressive scorer because he was beaten with a pillowcase full of soda cans by Mike Malone, the Denver Nuggets coach joked.
Nuggets center Jokic had 27 points, 12 rebounds and six assists in three quarters as Denver cruised to a 119-101 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder at Pepsi Center on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old has had at least a double-double in each of his 14 games this season and is averaging a triple-double of 25.1 points, 11.4 rebounds and 10 assists – all of which represent career highs.
Jokic's best scoring season was 2018-19 when he averaged 20.1 points per game, and Malone gave a light-hearted response when asked what has motivated the Serbian to become more prolific.
He replied: "I locked him in my office one day and I beat him with a pillowcase full of soda cans and I said: 'You've got to score more!'"
In a far more serious tone, Malone continued: "You know how he is, he's a great player, he's playing at an MVP level. You go back to tonight, 27, 12 and six, only one turnover.
"Early on they were playing him one-on-one, and sometimes I get frustrated because I don't think we give him the ball enough, especially when he's being guarded one-on-one.
"Nikola has seen every possible double-team, and so have we as a team. We space the floor correctly and he is so willing to find the open man, and we had great possessions against the double-team.
"He's always going to take what the defense gives him but he is being more aggressive, which is what we need from him."
The Nuggets are 10-2 against the Thunder since 2017-18, their best record against any Western Conference opponent in that span.
Denver's latest victory saw them improve to 7-7 on the season, but they are yet to hold a winning record this season after never being .500 or worse after their first game in the previous campaign.


Liz Duggan making the first Amenity Aid donation to Crossroads RI. Amenity Aid provides travel size toiletries to RI's homeless through direct donations to Crossroads RI.
Now that it's November, many people have started making plans for the annual trek back home for Thanksgiving. That means hotels all across the country will fill rooms with travelers from near and far. Normally after these hotel stays, visitors will home travel amenities to use in the future. But what if they go unused, and remain forgotten in the medicine cabinet? Liz Duggan of Amenity Aid, a non-profit organization in East Greenwich offers an answer.
Duggan, a Rhode Island native, is the founder of Amenity Aid, a nonprofit charity that donates travel sized amenities to Crossroads Rhode Island. She founded the organization when she began donating her own unused travel amenities collected during her travels. When people began giving their own travel treasures to her to donate , she decided to begin a charity of her own.
Amenity Aid was officially founded in March 2013, and Duggan made her first donation to Crossroads this summer, with just over one thousand amenity items.
Earlier, this week, she made a donation that was six times that size, with 6,840 amenity items. Amenities donated include 1,1440 toothbrushes, 1,1440 toothpaste tubes, 960 deodorants, 1,000 razors, and 2,000 shaving cream packets.
One of the ways that Duggan was able to grow Amenity Aid in such a short period of time was through grassroots fundraisers. Her most successful fundraiser thus far was a wine tasting event.
Most of the money raised from the wine tasting went to the 6,000 item order, which came from hotelsupplies-online.com, an online hotel amenity supplier.
Even with the recent growth, Duggan still has plans for the future and is pursuing ways to increase awareness of the problems facing the homeless and her support organization.
Duggan even hopes to go green in her future work with Crossroads. Instead of constantly buying plastic amenities, she wants to purchase refillable dispensers for shampoo and conditioner to put in the shelters.
Karen Santilli, who is the Vice President of Marketing and Development for Crossroads, has been working with Duggan over the past year.
With the items that Amenity Aid donates, Crossroads will make care packages for their clients to use whenever they need. According to Santilli, this provides them the opportunity to feel better about themselves, especially given the situation they are in. Santilli also mentioned that Crossroads has never worked with an organization like Amenity Aid that solely focuses on donating the travel sized amenities. Normally, individuals will donate their old ones that were around the house. However, this just makes Amenity Aid's work all the more important to Crossroads.
"What's nice about Amenity Aid is that they ask us what we need and then get it for us," said Santilli.
Amenity Aid is working on obtaining non-profit 501(c)3 status, but that does not stop anyone from donating. It definitely has not stopped Liz Duggan and her organization from moving forward.
More information about Amenity Aid can be found here on their website and on Facebook.

AWARD-WINNING GRACE BAY RESORTS ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH ACCLAIMED INTERIOR DESIGNER THOM FILICIA
Celebrity Designer to Create Contemporary Living Concepts for Grace Bay Club and The Residences, Marking His First Design Project in Turks and Caicos Islands
Providenciales, Turks and Caicos (October 15, 2013) – Grace Bay Resorts today announces a new partnership with celebrity interior designer, Thom Filicia, to bring his sophisticated aesthetic and celebrated style to the brand's resort properties, including the renowned Grace Bay Club as well as The Residences, the company's first private residential micro-resort of ultra-luxury, single family beachfront homes. This multi-phase partnership marks the first interior design collaboration for the award-winning hospitality group, and the first design project in the Turks and Caicos Islands for Thom Filicia.
"We were thrilled that Thom was interested in joining forces with us, and he is a natural choice as a partner," says Mark Durliat, Chief Executive Officer, Grace Bay Resorts. "As we look to the future, partnering with a world-class designer who can help us make thoughtful changes as we grow our brand is paramount. Thom's inventive interiors combine timeless design with an effortless, modern aesthetic, making him the perfect partner to enhance our award-winning beachfront properties."
While Grace Bay Club is known for reinventing itself constantly, including adding new food & beverage concepts and undertaking annual upgrades and renovations, this is the first time in its 20-year history that the resort has partnered with a designer of Thom's prestige in its efforts to reshape the interior redesign of its suites. Grace Bay Club comprises the adults-only Hotel, family-friendly Villas and the uber-luxe Estate, and Filicia was selected to create a more unified design aesthetic across the entire property. Inspired by the classic beauty of the resort's tropical surroundings, Filicia's concepts will mix new textures, dynamic colors and soft lighting to enhance the property's overall atmosphere and deliver a more contemporary experience for guests.
Interior enhancements, including the Grace Bay Club lobby and two prototype Villa Suites, will make their debut in late 2013, with the balance of Villas to follow in 2014. The adults-only Hotel and uber-luxe Estate will follow in 2015.
"As a designer, I'm always looking for ways to bring things together, so I was thrilled when Grace Bay Resorts asked me to lead their redesign." says Thom Filicia, Founder and Chief Creative Officer, Thom Filicia, Inc. "Turks and Caicos Islands are so vibrant and full of life. I was immediately inspired by all the vivid colors and textures at play, and the result is a brilliant, sophisticated design concept that truly embodies the spirit of Grace Bay."
Filicia also brings a unique sense of style to The Residences, designing distinct interior furniture and finishes for the three private homes in this unique micro resort development. Currently under construction on Grace Bay Beach, the four bedroom, six thousand square foot beachfront Residences are priced at $4 million and scheduled for completion in summer 2014.
The project represents a new chapter for Filicia, who is well-known internationally for both his commercial and residential work with celebrities and luxury brands alike, including Tina Fey and Delta Airlines. Filicia's unmistakable design sensibility has earned him countless accolades from the design world, including House Beautiful and Elle Décor. Filicia's recognition expanded beyond the design world when he was cast as the interior design expert in the Emmy Award-winning show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." Furthermore, Filicia is the creative mind and driving force behind the Thom Filicia Home Collection, and most recently he opened his first to-the-trade showroom, Sedgwick & Brattle, at the New York Design Center in September 2013.

Final Fantasy XIII-2: Demo available on PS3, impressions after play
We have some great news for Final Fantasy fans now, as just as promised we can confirm that Square-Enix has now placed the demo for Final Fantasy XIII-2 up on the US PlayStation Store. Fans now get their long awaited Final Fantasy fix again after FFXIII, this time in English of course.
The full game is already available to buy over in Japan, and while gamers are free to import at their discretion, playing the game with Japanese menus isn't exactly an enjoyable process, even if the original Japanese voice acting is preferred to English.
With the demo release now available now, you can now get a sample of Square-Enix' latest game, and find out for yourself if Square-Enix has made improvements from FFXIII. For those of you that don't have the demo yet, it should be appearing today on the Europe and Asia PlayStation Stores as part of this week's update. As for Xbox 360 owners, the demo should also be available on the Xbox Live Marketplace sometime today as well.
We can tell you that the demo will take place in the Bresha Ruins and puts you into battle against a giant monster known as Atlas. Two players are available in the demo, who are Noel and Serah. The demo will give you a chance to preview the new QTE elements that are now featured in the FFXIII-2 battle system. We would have liked a bigger helping of gameplay in the demo like previous titles, but you can't blame Square-Enix for wanting to just offer a slice of gameplay in the hope that fans flock to pick up the full game at the end of the month.
Just to let you know, the demo comes in at just at under 2GB. If you have already had a playthrough of the demo, let us know your impressions of it. Is it significantly better than FFXIII, or are there still some aspects that disappoint you?

Nokia 8 Sirocco Review
Nokia had been famous for rolling out phones with unconventional designs and form factor in the past. Since its take-over by another Finnish company, HMD Global, their strategy has been changed as they're trying to revamp the Nokia brand and prevent it from dying. As an effort for that, the company has released their first premium flagship for the year 2018, the Nokia 8 Sirocco. With this device, HMD aims to reinstall Nokia in the premium smartphone segment. The phone has a new design and some impressive specs on paper, but is it enough to bring back Nokia in the market dominated by giants such as Apple and Samsung? Let's find out.
Nokia 7 plus Review
Nokia came back into the smartphone market in 2016 as HMD Global bought rights to the Nokia brand. Since then, it has been successful in selling hundreds of thousand smartphones worldwide. Now, for the year 2018, Nokia is entering the mid-range smartphone market, with a phone that looks to compete with the likes of Huawei Honor 9, Motorola G5S Plus and even OnePlus 5T. Nokia 7 Plus packs some impressive hardware and stock android experience at a midrange price point, but is that enough for Nokia to get hold of a highly competitive midrange smartphone market of 2018? Let's find out.
The OnePlus 5T, as the name suggests, is an incremental update by OnePlus for the year 2017. It continues to improve from the older OnePlus 5 which looks pretty much the same except for one thing. The phone now comes with a new display, finally adapting the 18:9 aspect ratio group and boasts some great hardware to match up against the top phones in 2017. With an improved dual camera setup and top of the line hardware for 2017, is the new phone from OnePlus still a flagship killer? Let's find out.
Huawei Mate 10 Pro Review
Huawei has been recently trying hard to break into the US smartphone market and compete with the likes of Samsung and Google. With the Huawei P10 Pro not making huge waves into the smartphone market, Huawei has introduced its ultimate smartphone which is more than capable of causing some stir in the world of smartphones. With an all new, highly attractive design, minimum bezels display and a combination of one of the most powerful hardware available in the market, Huawei Mate 10 Pro is all ready to contest in the tough world of smartphones. It seems that there's a lot that this phone seems to offer so let's dive straight into finding it.
Google Pixel 2 XL Review
Google introduced its new line of phones after the Nexus series in 2016 with the Google Pixel and the larger version, the Google Pixel XL. The phone turned out to be a favorite for many people because of its clean Android experience and a great camera. For the year 2017, Google has released the second gen of Pixels, switching to the 18:9 aspect ratio for the display and a refined body. Even with a design which isn't much different from the first gen of Google Pixel phones and Google's DNA in it, does Google Pixel 2 XL a serious contender for the best phone of 2017? Let's find out.
Apple celebrated its 10th anniversary by releasing the phone every Apple fan was anticipating for, the Apple iPhone X. The phone which is pronounced 'iPhone ten' symbolizes 10 years of excellence in the tech world by the giants in the business, Apple. It's the flagship device by Apple for the year 2017 which comes with major design changes, first time we've seen since the Apple iPhone 6. With Apple jumping pass iPhone 9 for the latest and greatest Apple iPhone X, does the giant leap means they are all ready to revolutionize the cellphone experience again? Or is Apple just trying to catch up with the rest in the industry? Let's find out.
Essential PH-1 Review
In 2017, Andy Rubin, co-founder of Android set up his company, Essential Products. Essential Phone was launched soon after and as name suggests, this phone focuses mainly on essentials of a smartphone. This Android-powered smartphone is aimed to go after major flagships in market in 2017.

Does Sagna deserve new and improved Arsenal contract
The Arsenal full-back Bacary Sagna has rubbished rumors of a summer exit and has spoken of his desire to stay in North London, according to a report from Sky Sports. The Frenchman will be entering into the final year of his contract with the Gunners and is still reported to be a subject of interest for Ligue 1 giants Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain, both clubs said to be keen on taking him back to his homeland.
Sagna created a lot of doubt over his Arsenal future by claiming very early on last season that the sight of Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy lifting the Premier League trophy made him want that too, also taking a shot at Arsenal's transfer policy in the same interview.
But the 30-year-old seems to have had a change of heart, he said: "I enjoy playing for Arsenal. I love my team, and I always give my best. I'm still here. Many people were talking about me going back to France but I'm still here and I'm looking forward to a big season with Arsenal."
Sagna continued: "Last season was difficult. I only had one year left and people were looking at that and maybe thinking I would leave. But I tried to stay as calm as I could. Now I will work hard in pre-season and have a good season for Arsenal."
The Senegalese-born full-back was thought to be the only big player Arsenal might have to lose this summer but now it seems as though Sagna himself has put those rumors to rest, and thankfully so. Despite him having a rather mediocre season when compared to his usual high standards, I firmly believe that he is still one of the best full-backs in the Premier League, not to mention his versatility and work-rate. Despite him being 30, I think he still has a good couple seasons ahead of him.
What worries me however, is that he will be entering into the last year of his contract. Although he's certainly not the type to jump at the opportunity of higher wages, a lack of agreement between him and the club over the length of a new contract or Arsenal's transfer policy might lead to a little confusion.
Personally, I think he is definitely worth a two year deal that he seems to be after. I think his disappointing season was due to the fact that he suffered two long-term injuries in as many years. Players take a while to fully recover from those, especially players of his age group.
Anyway, I really hope Wenger ties him down to a new contract as soon as possible, with a solid pre-season, I believe Bac can be back to his best (pun intended!). I wouldn't mind too much even if he decides to finish his career at Arsenal like Rosicky did, though that's a bit of a long shot.

NO ! We should be moving him on and bringing in a different defender. Like Micah Richards who would help with our problem of being too slanted towards small, tricky, lightweight players. We need more power. Plus he can play central defence if necessary.

yea insofar as he doesn't start in place of Jenkinson

why not, but buy Micar Richards also

my ninja
My Ninja began back in 2009, when Peyton(keys/vocals) and Maddox(drums/vocals) began collaborating after the break- up of their avante/improv group The Cavemen of Mars, but the band didn't really solidify its sound until Phil Orton joined on guitar. All three members have known each other for a long time, and have collaborated in several different configurations over the years-- this musical telepathy is what fuels My Ninja's sound, as the band is able to navigate between a wide range of styles, and also incorporates moments of improvisation into their live shows. Peyton and Orton write most of the songs, but also perform some of Maddox's compositions.
It is difficult to say exactly what kind of music this is. Dark yet accessible, the music swerves between garage rock, power pop and prog-style instrumentals, with moments of swing and rockabilly thrown in as well. That being said, even though the band is somewhat multi-textured, they have a core identity that is unmistakable. With no bass player, the bottom end is held down by Peyton's synth, giving space to the other players in a unique take on the power trio idea, with ample room to spread out. At any given moment, a different leader can emerge, steering the band down various musical avenues that are never quite the same twice.
" I've been a part of many bands in the past, but My Ninja is a sort of musical therapy for me" says Phil..."an opportunity for me to pool all of my influences together and express them into a brew with two of my best friends"
"Our music has something for everyone because all of our years of influences come out in the music - Prog Rock, Blues, Heavy, R&B, it's all there and you feel it" says Johnny. " Come to a My Ninja show and you'll leave feeling like you got your money's worth!
"Johnny and I had been messing around in my jam room for a while, and coming up with some pretty interesting ideas". Said Maddux, "One day we had this sort of zen moment, where we looked at each other and said we need to get Phil involved in this. That's really the birth of the band, when Phil joined us. Johnny and Phil have been collaborating for a long time, so there's a certain amount of telepathy between them, which pretty much describes me and Johnny as well. I think that one of the great things about us is that we utterly had no expectations or goals around what we were doing—it was and is an act of catharsis and therapy for all of us. The three of us began to gel very quickly, and one night a good friend of ours was at a rehearsal, and said that we should play out! I have a theory that one of our strengths is that we're all coming from different places musically, although there is some overlap as to what we enjoy, and what our influences are. Phil and I are both big metal fans, whereas Phil and Johnny are both big into the sort of dark, gothic rock of bands like Catherine Wheel. I'm a huge jazz freak, as well as a lot of fairly obscure prog and improve stuff, so there are a lot of flavors in My Ninja..hopefully a little something for everyone!"

Tonight's top tune came courtesy of recommendations by both Dan Bennett and Malcy Reveal. It was 'Some One Has To Die' by Maritime. This popular beat combo comprises former members of The Promise Ring and The Dismemberment Plan but sounds nothing like either of those bands. Well… a wee bit like TPR in terms of poppiness. Their debut album, Glass Floor, is yet another pure pop gem in what's turning out to be a great year for it. Go and check it out if you like poppy songs chocker with snappy choruses.
Eagle-eyed readers may think I've committed the cardinal DJing sin of playing more than one track by the same band. But Locust is/are an electronic group, quite sonically removed from the shouty bastards known as The Locust.
Top old tune tonight was John Barry's 'Hit And Miss.' I don't think there was anyone in the Bless old enough to remember the TV show it introduced but then neither do I since it finished when I was only one. But which prog had point scoring on it, eh?
Murs – What Do You Know?
Kings Of Convenience / Royksopp – I Don't Know What I Can Save..
Have you ever looked closely at a strawberry? I mean, really closely? They're fascinating, the seeds, the dimples they sit in, the pattern on the skin. And the shimmering surface within which you can see little details.
I swear… it was only a few, procured purely for photographic purposes. Yummy.
This week's pics are dedicated to Robert Capa, who was a self-made man and a brilliant photographer. He was an anti-fascist and leftist, though he rejected recruitment by the Stalinist Communist party in his native Hungary at an early age.
Capa is most famous for his coverage of wars. Even if you don't think you know of his work, you've probably seen it somewhere in history books or TV documentaries. I first came across it around 21 years ago since his first published pics were of Leon Trotsky. As a teenage Trot, I was moved by the way Capa caught the passion and commitment of my hero, even as Trotsky was in flight from Stalin's assassins.
His photos of the Spanish Civil War remain some of the most heartbreaking and stark pictures of war ever taken and Capa was fearless getting them. In fact, more than one person who accompanied Capa on wartime shoots has said that he'd go anywhere to get the shot, throwing himself into exactly the same danger as the soliders around him. His dedication to his work in World War Two earned him the Medal of Freedom Citation, which he received from General Dwight D. Eisenhower.
In 1947, with his friends, David Seymour"Chim", Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and Bill Vandivert, he began a picture agency named Magnum.
He spent the next few years making Magnum into a successful cooperative, and photographing the good times with his artist friends, including Picasso, Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck.
If all you know of Capa is his war work, you really have to see the amazing portraits of Picasso and his family. Capa captured the emotional byplay between parents and small child with a a deft touch, delicate and involved without being cheesy.
Sadly, Capa had a tough time of it when the US was seized by the crypto-fascist movement known formally as McCarthyism. His early leftist past and photojournalism in the Soviet Union were more than enough for the witchhunters and in 1953, he had to fight to retain his US passport. This despite his honouring by Eisenhower.
Capa died in 1954. He was covering the war in what was then known as French Indochina and left the safety of a transport to get a particular angle. He stepped on a landmine. He was forty.
In such a short life, Robert Capa crammed in a whole lot. From his early political activity in Hungary, his flight from the Nazis, so many wars… And yet, he still managed find the time to form and lead Magnum, helping to establish the idea of photographers retaining copyright in their work. He also mentored many young photographers, helping them get on the first rungs of the career ladder. He was a man about town, regarded as extremely handsome by many of the most beautiful women of the age. Personally, I'm envious of anyone who had a love affair with Ingrid Bergman.
Steven Spielberg appears in the documentary about Capa, he's undoubtedly a fan. I just hope that either he or someone else makes a film of Capa's amazing life, so that it becomes more widely known. It may have ended far too soon but it remains a vivid, inspirational story.

SPETS24 > THOROIDAL TRANSFORMER
Thoroidal transformer differs in that its windings have a special geometric expansion on the core, different from the classical cylindrical winding. When using this method, it becomes possible to obtain ideal, equivalent in resistance, inductances of the transformer winding used in balanced circuits. This design was used earlier, mainly in expensive high-quality studio equipment, in military equipment.
The winding sections that are located on the magnetic circuit, creating the same discrete fields that together form a uniform magnetic field, which allows for minimal distortion in the transmission of sound signals.
The possibility of using screens between sections can significantly reduce the effect of winding capacity, significantly expanding the linearity of the transmitted signals in a high-quality range. Structurally, shielding is solved very simply, thanks to the technology developed by us. As a result, we get a transformer with parameters that cannot be obtained with a classic cylindrical winding.
The main thing in the creation of our transformers is the original manufacturing technology that we developed, which allows us to mechanize and automate production processes in the manufacture of transformers.
Our transformers will be used in Hi-End class amplifiers, in studio equipment, the circuitry of which has already been worked out. The line of transformers for amplifiers will first present models of tube amplifiers with a power of 25W, 50W, 100W and 400W per channel. Thoroidal transformers, in combination with our original circuitry and design allows us to produce a product that meets the highest requirements for this class of technology.
