8,11, and 20 for the book asks!
All questions here
8. what is the first book you remember reading yourself?
Two of my earliest favorites were Pippi Longstocking and O Fantástico Mistério de Feiurinha, although I probably read this pretty little collection with 5 or 6 fairy tale books that my grandma gave me before that, sice they were way shorter.
Out of those books the Pippi trilogy are the only ones I still own, which is a shame.
11. what non-fiction books do you like if any?
I used to have a lot of difficulty finishing whole non-fiction books, and the first one I remember finishing with eagerness and enjoyment was Angela Davis' Women, Race and Class. I was only supposed to read one chapter for an elective in college but it was amazing so I just kept going.
This year I actually read a few non-fiction books, maybe now that I'm not in college any more that non-fiction slot of my brain was freed for books of my choosing. I read more of the amazing Angela Davis (Freedom is a Constant Struggle in January and Are Prisons Obsolete last month).
I read a couple of things about Brazilian politics. Sabrina Fernandes is an ecosocialist and Ailton Krenak is an indigenous intellectual. I wanna read more by both. I definitely need to read way more about politics, I'm really clueless about it.
And possibly my favorite book of the year was The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow, which is a book about pre-history written by an archeologist and an anthropologist, gathering the last few decades of research in their fields to go up against the myths we perpetuate about (pre)history and human nature. It shows how diverse and changeable human societies have always been and how we've always had the capacity for political imagination and to thoughtfully and deliberately change the way we live (for better or for worse). Humans were always human, infinitely complex, and not a caricature of pure naive good or violent chaotic evil that serves as convenient origin story for humanity today.
You know how before reading this I was already banging on about how much I hate the Hobbes vs. Rousseau divide that's still prevalent in people's beliefs, and the idea that there's one set human nature, either good and selfless or evil and self-centered. The authors also counter that but, you know, in an actually coherent, well founded way.
The book also goes into how much American Indigenous thought influenced our current ideas about freedom, equality and democracy, and their intellectual contributions get dismissed as just Europeans lying and projecting onto a "noble savage" figure. People in the Americas did in fact have a lot thoughts, criticisms and theories about European society and their own once they came into contact, and Europeans did have their world view impacted by them, although frequently in trying to dismiss their criticism more than accept it.
I'm really going way beyond the question here, right? Sorry lol
I started reading Debt: The First 5,000 Years, also by David Graeber, and really enjoyed it, but it was really expensive so I haven't bought it yet, after finishing the sample. I do have a PDF, but that's bad for reading the footnotes, and I really, really love footnotes, I wanna read all of them as I go.
20. what are things you look for in a book?
I'm mostly drawn to characters and prose first, themes second, and plot and world building third. Characters that I care about or am interested in and/or beautiful language will get me through basically anything. It's okay if nothing makes sense, I'll just vibe.
See: This is How You Lose the Time War and Água-Viva / The Stream of Life by Clarisse Lispector.
Lolita is another example, I guess, since the language and caring about Dolores gets me through the horrors.
Also why I'm absolutely obsessed with Machado de Assis. Beautiful language and endlessly fascinating characters that I hate and adore.

Movie Review | The Amazing Transplant (Wishman, 1970)
Because I'd spent the last month or so watching just Doris Wishman's B&W films, I'd forgotten just how retina-searing her colour films could be. A character sports a green and orange paisley dress, a combination at home only in an orange grove and nowhere else. Another character wears a fluffy blue coat and green hat, and takes them off to reveal a blue and green paisley outfit. Lots of paisley. There's a top whose stripes resemble the colour bars on one's TV. Some kind of a hideous fish and leaf print wallpaper. Some fluffy thing on a desk that the movie abruptly cuts to during a scene with no motivation. Every colour combination is an affront to the concept of vision. No other director has this sense of decor.
This is not one of Wishman's few hardcore films, and given the premise about a man driven to kill after a penis transplant, one might be worried that the peen might be nowhere to be seen in a softcore joint as this. I must report that we do in fact see the protagonist's schlong a few times during scenes of softcore coupling. I must however clarify with some disappointment that it is merely a regular johnson, and not some hideous Frankenstein johnson, perhaps one that might be of similar colours as those spotted in Wishman's apartment. No, just a perfectly normal, flesh-coloured wiener. (And in case you're wondering, the operation scene is not terribly graphic, and does not include any sights like someone cutting a ketchup-slathered hot dog being. In case you were hoping for that.) The aforementioned equipment belongs to Joao Fernandes, who plays the role by staring wide-eyed into the camera when he goes into murder mode. Fernandes is better known as a prolific cinematographer of pornography and B-movies (among his credits are Memories Within Miss Aggie, Through the Looking Glass, Expose Me Lovely, a few Wishman joints, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter and a number of Cannon Films productions). Let us just say that his talents in front of the camera do not match his talents behind it.
I think the premise here is kooky enough and the murders give this enough forward momentum that I enjoyed it enough, but I don't think Wishman brings the same level of empathy to any of the characters here that did for the protagonists of her downbeat B&W movies. And I found the cinematography by C. Davis Smith toned down compared to their earlier collaborations. Perhaps he felt the colours were overwhelming enough already, or he hurt his back trying to do some of the handheld camera moves, but I found the visual style here patchier and less considered than those earlier movies.

Dreamwatch: SLEEPING GIANTS Press Conference (Match 2)
Fernando Diyas: Hey, hey. I'm the boy in baby blue giving you everything you want. I'm "Entregas Felices" Fernando Diyas. Look over at them, boys. We got em scared. I can see it. Fernandes is wearing as mask and I can still tell. They don't think they can beat us. They're smarter than they thought, I won't lie! At first I thought you guys were alright, but then you tried to put yourself above me? Above us? Are you out of your minds? You boys could never outshine us. Not a chance in hell. Me, Alvarez, Moreno, we ring bells around here. Our names stay in people's mouths, they can't help it. You? *laughs* The only place you'll ever be is in Alex Garcia's shadow!
Alex Alvarez: It was naive of you to think that this little scheme of yours could work out. Leading any part of the wrestling world takes more than flapping your gums and hanging on the the coat tails of other luchadores. You look lost, you don't have what it takes to beat us at all.
Carlos Moreno: I think its funny that they tried to pretend like we're all a little family! Like we're a part of Bondad! You trying to adopt us or something? I'm a grown man, watch your mouth when you say crap like that to me! The fact of the matter is that you boys have a superiority complex but you know you're not superior to us in that ring. We are never gonna join you. If we did you'd simply end up grabbing onto us and leeching. Seems to be the only "llave" you know.
--
Javier Martinez: I'm Javier Martinez. You're probably more familiar with my name than you are theirs, as much as they pretend like the opposite is true. Alex Alvarez manages roll me up one time and suddenly the three of you are world beaters. Tsk, how's that for leeching off of someone's success. You're hypocrites, if anything. Either way it doesn't matter what you are, the only thing that matters is what you aren't. You aren't better than us, you aren't bigger than us, you aren't faster than us, you aren't stronger than us, and you aren't going to beat us at SLEEPING GIANTS.
Daniel Gonzalez: I'm Daniel Gonzalez from Bondad. You know, these guys, our opponents over there keep mentioning Alex Garcia. Alex Garcia this Alex Garcia that, like he's some boogeyman that hides in our closet. You're mentioning him more than we are. I've never heard you even say your own names. Do they not carry any weight at all? You should focus on the people in front of you, two of you have been wrestling longer than I have, you should know this instead of being petty. If talk is all you've got, you better find something else to pull out in that ring 'cause talking is only going to get your jaw cracked out there.
Davi Fernandes: I'm "Deseos Del Ciudando" Davi Fernandes. Honestly I don't hate our opponents. I don't even really dislike them. I'm... Sort of looking at the bigger picture instead of just looking at them. This match is not about beating them, this match is about restoring and strengthening Bondad, this match is about us showing that we're the shining beacon of Lucha Libre. I understand that you don't want to join us, that you don't see us as family and that's fine. What you will do instead is look up to us. After we beat you, and continuing on into this new year, we'll be the example to follow. If you wnat to see us as rivals so be it, but you will look to us and realize that we are the brightest stars in Lucha Libre.
GM Denali: Considering that this match is a match between two teams of luchadores, we figured it would be fitting to have this match be 2 out of 3 falls, akin to the rules of traditional Lucha Libre matches. This match should be an excellent one. Please look forward to it.

25 things that were invented in NYC.
1. Toilet paper: In 1857, Joseph C. Gayetty began selling packs of “medicated paper for the water closet” out of his wholesale shop at 41 Ann St. The paper was made from pure Manila hemp and treated with aloe. Best (or worst)
of all, each sheet was watermarked with his name.
2. Chicken ’n’ waffles: After its 1938 opening, Wells Supper Club in Harlem was the last stop for jazz greats like Sammy Davis Jr., Gladys Knight and Nat King Cole. Catering to its night-owl talent, Wells created the perfect dish for acts who’d missed dinner but couldn’t wait till breakfast: leftover fried chicken on a sweet waffle.
3. Chewing gum, a New York invention, was first manufactured in 1870 by Thomas Adams in a warehouse on Front Street. Called ''Adams New York Gum No. 1,'' it was made from chicle, a form of sapodilla tree sap chewed in the Yucatan and Guatemala.
4. The Waldorf Salad: The Waldorf Astoria boasts two inventions on this list, the first of which is its classic salad, which combines lettuce, apple, celery and walnuts. It was first served in 1896.
5. Teddy Bears: In 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot an injured black bear while on a hunt. Inspired by the story, Morris and Rose Michtom, candy-store owners from Brooklyn, sewed a plush bear and displayed it, calling it “teddy’s bear.” The toy was so popular, they gave up candy and opened a factory to make the cuddly critters.
6. The Tom Collins: In 1874, a hilarious joke swept through the city: A prankster would tell a friend, “I was at [insert local saloon], where Tom Collins was saying [insert insult] about you!” The offended party would rush off to defend his honor, but there was no Tom Collins. (Cool joke, bro.) Inspired by the prank, New York mixologist Jerry Thomas created the recipe in 1876.
7. Coal-fired pizza: Pizza was cooked with wood fires until Gennaro Lombardi introduced the tasty magic of coal. Legend has it he served the first coal-fired pie in 1905. Cooking pizza that way is technically illegal now, but the ovens of a few select haunts around the city were grandfathered in, including Lombardi’s, Totono’s and Patsy’s.
8. Scrabble: Out-of work architect and anagram lover Alfred Mosher Butts conceived this wordy board game in 1931 while living in Jackson Heights, Queens. The street sign on Butts’s corner in Queens now reads “35t1H4 a1V4e1n1u1e1” after the famed letter-scoring system.
9. Spaghetti primavera: When this faux Italian dish (fresh vegetables and Parmesan cream sauce on pasta) was served at Le Cirque in 1977, it was, according to The New York Times, “the most talked-about dish in Manhattan,” much to the chagrin of head chef Jean Vergnes. The classically trained Frenchie was so offended, his cooks had to prep the dish in a hallway—yet later he claimed its invention.
10. The remote control: Nikola Tesla conceived of a radio-controlled boat way back in 1898. The idea was so novel that nobody believed such technology could exist.
11. Sweet’n Low: Fort Greene entrepreneur Benjamin Eisenstadt teamed up with his chemist son, who found a way to create saccharin in powdered form (before it could only be a liquid or a pill). He named his pink-label brand after a Tennyson poem.
12. Eggs Benedict: Stockbroker and bon vivant Lemuel Benedict woke up one morning in 1894 with a raging hangover and booked it
to the Waldorf Astoria hotel, where he ordered a poached egg, crispy bacon, toast and hollandaise sauce. Legendary maître d’hôtel Oscar Tschirky was such a fan of the creation, he added it to the hotel’s menu.
13. The Bloody Mary:
Fernand “Pete” Petiot imported his tomato-juice-and-vodka concoction from Paris to the St. Regis hotel’s King Cole Bar. Catering to the spicier local tastes, Petiot added Worcestershire sauce, lemon and
a dash of cayenne and black pepper.
14. Credit Cards: You have John Biggins of the Flatbush National Bank to thank for those interest charges and late fees: In 1946, he created the charge-it program, which issued customers bank credit cards for use at local Brooklyn merchants. The shop owners would then deposit the sales slips at the bank, who would then bill cardholders.
15. Baked Alaska: In 1876, the pioneering pastry chefs
of lower-Manhattan restaurant Delmonico’s conceived of piping-hot sponge cake topped with crispy meringue and filled with ice cream, naming this miracle
of food science in honor of the country’s newest territory.
16. General Tso’s Chicken: While exiled in Taiwan after the Chinese Civil War, chef Peng Chang-Kuei created a spicy-and-sour chicken dish as an homage to a famous Hunanese general. When he jumped ship to New York in the 1970s and opened Peng’s, the dish became a huge hit— after he added sugar to the recipe.
17. Frozen Hot Chocolate:
Stephen Bruce, the cofounder
of iconic East-Side restaurant Serendipity 3, kept the recipe of this decadent dessert a secret for 40 years. Bruce recently revealed that the famous frozen treat is 14 kinds of cocoa mixed with crushed ice and topped with whipped cream. (The types of cocoa still remain a mystery.)
18. Air conditioning: In 1902, Willis Carrier created his “apparatus for treating air” to keep the humidity from warping the paper at a printing plant on Grand St in Bushwick. Saving workers from the sweltering summer heat was just a fortunate side effect.
19. The Reuben Sandwich: Alright, this one’s contested, but many say Arnold Reuben, owner of Reuben’s Delicatessen, invented the meat-and-krout combo in 1914. Legend has it, the sandwich was created for a famished actress, who came in after a show, using the few ingredients left on the deli shelves.
20. Mr. Potato Head: When New Yorker and toy designer George Lerner first created plastic facial features to stick on real vegetables, toy companies worried that food wasting wouldn’t fly with a postwar public. But in 1952, Hasbro bought Lerner’s
idea and made the first TV ad ever for children’s playthings, selling a million units that year.
21. Hot dogs: Coney Island baker Charles Feltman had the genius idea to serve hot sausages in a
bun for a dime each. His frank fortune bought him a beachside empire of hotels and beer gardens, until former employee Nathan Handwerker opened Nathan’s Famous and sold his dogs for only a nickel.
22. ATMs: the first money-dispensing device was conceived in 1939 by Luther George Simjian, who convinced the City Bank of New York (today’s Citibank) to test his contraption for six months. The bank declined to use the machine after that, because “the only people using the machines were a small number of prostitutes and gamblers.”
23. Cronuts: Dominique Ansel labored for months to perfect his doughnut-fried, fluffy hybrid from heaven. The pastry, which debuted in May 2013, still inspires down-the- block lines each morning.
24. Children's Museums: The Brooklyn Children's Museum, located in Crown Heights, opened in 1899 and was the country’s first museum dedicated to the education of kids. It was also the first to introduce a “hands-on” policy for its exhibits.
25. Hip-hop. Enough said.

5 Questions with Megan Fernandes, Author of Good Boys
Megan Fernandes is a writer and academic living in New York City. She is the author of The Kingdom and After (Tightrope Books 2015) and the new book of poems, Good Boys (published by Tin House). Her work has been published or is forthcoming in the New Yorker, Tin House, Ploughshares, Denver Quarterly, Chicago Review, Boston Review, Rattle, Pank, the Common, Guernica, the Academy of American Poets, and McSweeney's Internet Tendency, among others. She is a poetry reader for The Rumpus and an Assistant Professor of English at Lafayette College. She holds a PhD in English from the University of California, Santa Barbara and an MFA in poetry from Boston University. She reads from her new book Good Boys with special guests at City Lights Bookstore on Tuesday, February 25th.
***
City Lights: If you’ve been to City Lights before, what’s your memory of the visit? If you haven’t been here before, what are you expecting?
Megan Fernandes: Of all the places I’m reading this Spring (and it’s probably not politic to say this), I am most excited to read at City Lights. I’ve never been, but I understood at a very young age that the bookstore symbolized possibility, spontaneity, digression, lostness, community, etc. As a teenager, I read a lot of Beat literature, my favorites being Dharma Bums, In the Night Café, and everything Ginsberg. I was compelled by their portraits of America’s expansiveness. And I also just think as an immigrant kid not born in the USA, the Beats gave me some sense of American geography. I went to Colorado for the first time last year and I had this memory of my first impression of Colorado as a place described in On the Road. When traveling across the country, I often have Ferlinghetti’s feverish, twitchy, carnivalesque poetics in my head. I also think in this indirect way, Beat literature shaped some of my thoughts around feminist thinking as I was conscious of my orientation as outside certain privileges of the “male, womanizing adventurer” often romanticized in Beat lit. I had to interrogate what it meant to feel intimacies with Ginsberg and Duncan who were destabilizing masculinities and cultural logics of hate.
And so what I learned from City Lights and Beat lit is really something about the relationship between myth-making and counter-culture communities. I’m understanding the truly expansive network of the movement in so much more detail right now while reading an advanced copy of a fabulous new book called The Beats: A Literary History by Steven Belletto.
What are you reading right now?
I’m reading a book called Dapper Dan: Made in Harlem, co-written by Dapper Dan himself and my good friend, Mikael Awake. It’s a history of Dapper Dan’s iconic work in fashion, of course, while being really intimate. And it’s just as much a history of his family’s internal dynamics and, through his family, New York City at large. In particular, 1970’s NYC is so vividly, brilliantly wrought in this book.
There’s this one section where Dap is at Iona College at a lecture on protohistory and the professor, a Czech immigrant, tells the class that “In order for man to have survived during those ancient times… he must have had powers that he doesn’t have now. The only people that could possibly still have these powers today are the black and brown people on the planet” and when Dap hears this, he is transfixed. He says: “This is one of the most esteemed scholars at Iona College telling a packed lecture hall that black and brown people were the only ones on the planet who still had spiritual powers. How come this was my first time hearing about that? I looked around. I was the only black student in the class. I wasn’t tired anymore. He had my full attention… I said to myself, This is what I need to know. This is how I need to formulate myself.” I’m loving how the book captures these intense moments of transformation. I love that word choice: formulate. What poetic agency is modeled in that word? I needed that word the moment I read it.
Recently, I’ve also read Samiya Bashir’s Field Theories and Edgar Kunz’s Tap Out. Samiya wrote this legitimately weird and imaginative book that feels like it’s made out of the time-space continuum. Some cosmic materiality is really showing up in that book. I remember this line: “A body. A zoo. A lovely savannah. Walls of clear, clean glass” and I’m just on a ride with the musicality of her shifting assonance. Plus, I know that writers like June Jordan and Toni Cade Bambara are operating influences/specters of the book and you can feel that energy. Edgar’s book is more narrative and quieter, but so devastating. I sort of get what makes his speakers tenderize if that makes sense. I think it’s the same phenomena that tenderizes me, too.
Some of my favorite novels of recent years includes A Questionable Shape by Bennett Sims, The Small Backs of Children by Lidia Yuknavitch, Sonora by Hannah Lillith Assadi, and very recently, The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead.
What book or writer do you always find yourself recommending?
I think Jean Toomer’s Cane is the most beautiful book of the 20th century. I remember just being blown away by its call and response, the repeating imagery of sun and smoke and pines. That book is so stunning. Other astounding work that I always recommend includes Mebvh McGuckian’s Captain Lavender, Anne Carson’s The Autobiography of Red, Evie Shockley’s The New Black, Franz Wright’s Walking to Martha’s Vineyard, Eleni Sikelianos’ Body Clock, Jorie Graham’s The Errancy, Bhanu Kapil’s The Vertical Interrogation of Strangers, The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats, and Galway Kinnell and Hannah Liebmann’s translations of Rilke. Those are my hard-hitters. Those books are why I became a poet.
What writers/artists/people do you find the most influential to the writing of this book and/or your writing in general?
You know, I collected poems while I was writing and editing this book. And I think those specific poems created a kind of constellation around me, almost protective, that kept me writing. Some of those poems include “The Long Recovery” by Ellen Bass, “A Matter of Balance,” by Evie Shockley, “What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why” by Edna St. Vincent Millay, “I am Not Seaworthy” by Toni Morrison, “Becoming Regardless” by Jack Spicer, “A New Bride Almost Visible in Latin” by Jack Gilbert, “To the Young Who Want to Die” by Gwendolyn Brooks and many, many others. Definitely O’Hara as well. He never leaves me. The most important poem of that little self-curated archive is Frank Bidart’s “Visions at 74” where he writes: “To love existence / is to love what is indifferent to you.” I remember reading that line and just losing it. I have been guided by so much of Bidart. And maybe my book is a little bit about how to sustain rage in the face of that which is indifferent to you, what cannot love you (both personally and abstractly). How do you sustain rage so as to not fall into despair?
I also listened to a variety of music while writing and editing. A mix between contemporary sad kid hip-hop, old school jazz and blues, gospel, 80’s bands, pop culture queens, 1970’s hypnotic modal vamp, classical Spanish guitar, electronic pop, really pretty varied. A few names that come to mind: KOTA the Friend, NoName, Vince Staples, Travis Scott, Miles Davis Quintet, Bessie Smith, Sam Cooke, The Knocks, Solange, Archie Shepp, Pharoah Sanders, Alice Coltrane, Big Mama Thornton, Miriam Makeba, Kamasi Washington, Thompson Twins, Misfits, Bowie, Talking Heads, Tears for Fears, Cher, Whitney Houston, Portishead, Goldfrapp, Memphis Slim, Dinah Washington, Alberto Iglesias, Gustavo Santaolalla, Holychild, Blood Orange, etc.
If you opened a bookstore, where would it be located, what would it be called, and what would your bestseller be?
My grandpa played violin on a ship that sailed between Tanga, Tanzania and Goa, India. I never had the chance to meet him. He died when my dad was sixteen, but I always thought about what that journey might have looked and felt like, its many hardships, but also the wonder of gazing out at the sea playing strings. For that reason, I’d love to open a bookstore that focused specifically on Indian Ocean diaspora and sold books exclusively by authors working, uncovering, or investigating the literature of that oceanic rim. I think there is something rich in thinking about books not necessarily focused on nation-statehood but thinking more about a kind of social-imaginary with a literature that is messy in its conceptualization and crosses, migrates, misses, and mythologizes across many cultures over generations. You could have sections on food, underwater exploration, piracy, long-distance intimacy, trade routes, empire, transnational feminism. I like the idea of a bookstore that is anti-genre and instead, organized by associative thinking and imagination. It would be a logistical nightmare. You would never find what you were looking for, but you might find something you didn’t know existed.
So yes, I’d vote for a little homegrown network of bookstores in India, East Africa, and actually, maybe one of them in Lisbon which is a city that has a long (and problematic) history with the Indian Ocean. I’ve spent a lot of time in Lisbon the past eight years of my life, spending time visiting family and researching the history of the Portuguese empire especially as it relates to my family history (my folks are third generation East African Portuguese colonized Indians). I have a lot of conflicting homelands which is a way of saying that there are times when I feel like I have nothing but a rootless present. That’s something I investigate in my work, that weird (a)temporality. And I’m drawn to the particular light of Lisbon which is quite unusual. I’d call the bookstore “Malaika” which means “Angel” in Swahili and is the favorite folk song of my parents who grew up in Tanzania. I like the idea of a bookstore in Lisbon with the name in Swahili run by a Goan-Canadian-American woman. That’s the world I grew up in… one of multiplicities.

Tottenham Hotspur's key defender... Real Reguilon return to 'review' 먹튀검증
먹튀검증먹튀사이트먹튀검증사이트먹튀 검증 먹튀 사이트 먹튀 검증 사이트
Real Madrid are considering returning Sergio Reguilon, 24. According to Spain's Defensa Central on the 11th (Korean time), Real Madrid are planning to meet with Daniel Levy, president of Reguilon, to negotiate.
This is not a place for a full-fledged transfer discussion. At this meeting, Real Madrid are negotiating a buyback clause with President Levy.
Tottenham signed Sergio Reguilon for a transfer fee of 25 million pounds (38 billion won) in the transfer window last summer. Considering that Reguilon was the Spanish national team's starting full-back and Real Madrid's next wing defender, it was a low price.
This transfer was possible because of the 'buyback clause'. Real Madrid included a buyback clause in the negotiations. The buyback condition is said to be 33.9 million pounds (about 55.3 billion won) over two years.
That means Real Madrid can negotiate with Reguilon without Tottenham's permission by paying £33.9 million by the end of the season.
However, according to reports, Real Madrid decided that Reguilon had not developed enough to meet the buy-back price, and therefore decided to reduce the buy-back amount to £28 million.
Real Madrid have Ferland Mendy as their left-back, while Nacho Fernandes and new signing David Alaba can also be seen on the left. However, Mendy is currently out with an injury and Alaba is a starting centre-back. In addition, right defender Dani Carvajal also missed due to an injury, resulting in a crack in the defense as a whole.
However, Real Madrid's proposal can only be approved by President Levy. British HITC said, "There is no reason for Levy to agree. There is no business meaning. Chairman Levy is a very smart and wise businessman. It is difficult to imagine that he will accept Real Madrid's offer."
Reguilon, who joined Tottenham last season, has established himself as a left-back, appearing in 45 games so far this season.
Tottenham have transferred Danny Rose (Watford) and Dennis Kirkin (Sunderland) to a left-back position with Reguilon and Ben Davis.

Dreamwatch 11.20.21 (Match 2)
Davi Fernandes vs Steel Johnson
Moving onto match two! Been a while since we've seen any presence from Bondad in Dreamwatch, especially since Alex Garcia is still gone following a pretty crushing defeat from Takaya Kiryu. Davi Fernandes looks to get himself and Bondad back on track tonight against Steel Johnson! Steel hasn't been doing too badly for himself, recently scoring a victory alongside his proteges on the last Dreamwatch show. A second victory here would definitely give him some momentum heading into the future!
This match was an interesting game of cat and mouse in a way. Davi Fernandes is incredibly agile and quick on his feet, so ideally he wants to have a match that is more faster paced as it caters more to his own style. Steel Johnson on the other hand is slower in this stage in his career, and is also incredibly technically proficient from all of the techniques he's learned wrestling around the world. Steel wanted to keep the match grounded, forcing Davi Fernandes to stay in his range so he could deal the most damage. It was awesome to see them go back and forth trying to employ these strategies. Steel definitely started off with the advantage with employing these strategies at first, being able to lock Davi in multiple grounded submissions and hanging onto the ropes whenever he was whipped into them. If Davi was in Steel's range at all, he was probably going to end up in a world of hurt.
Davi eventually got into the game in a big way though. Considering how explosive and fast his offense is, it didn't take him very long to his enough moves to do some significant damage. The ability to hit fast moving hard offense while forcing your opponent to run and tire themselves out caused Davi to start mounting a serious comeback! Steel is a very intelligent veteran though, and he decided to change up his game plan to try and stop Davi's Steel decided to lean into how the match was going, hitting some explosive offense, running the ropes, hitting dives. He started fighting fire with fire as the match sped towards the closing moments.
As unexpected as it was, I don't think trying to go for a fast paced match with a luchador was necessarily the best move. It was cool to see the depth in Steel's moveset, but eventually Davi was able to regain his focus and Steel simply couldn't keep up with him. Davi managed to catch Steel in a beautiful roll up pin. Steel was either caught off guard or was simply too tired to escape the pin, but either way Davi Fernandes is your winner!
--
Davi Fernandes: Yes! Yes! Okay, we're back! Its been... Its been such a rough year for us, Lucha fans. Bondad has had a rough and humbling time in Dreamwatch so far but instead of sulking over it I knew we needed it to fuel us. I knew we needed it to light that fire! We want to do right by all of you by being at the top of the wrestling world! No matter what anyone has to say about it, I'm done with letting anyone stop us. It maybe jealousy that fuels Fernando, Carlos, and Alex. It may be, but in their hearts they know we are the heart of Lucha Libre. I want them to stand with us, but jealousy breeds the kind of thing we saw tonight. Regardless, I'm the one getting the job done. When they manage to get a win, they can talk. For now, thank you Dreamwatch fans, thank you Lucha Libre fans. Lets keep going!

Do you have any fc suggestions for Tracey Davis?
Another Slytherin ask, I could cry! With Tracey, you can really go any direction, as we know virtually nothing about her in canon. That being said, here are some faceclaims that we would love to see in general and think would make a great Tracey; Aiyana A. Lewis, Ariela Barer (non-binary, uses they/them), Imaan Hammam, Nanna Fernandes (@nannoca on Instagram), Nicole Maines (trans woman, uses she/her), Saufeeya Goodson, Tashi Rodriguez, and Tati Gabrielle. We hope one of those works for you and if you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

5 Extravagant Burial Monuments
When most people die, they are either cremated or buried in a cemetery plot. While headstones can be expensive (anywhere from $250-$6,000) your standard marker has nothing on these 5 extravagant gravesites.
Marjorie Merriwether Post
Marjorie Merriwether Post was one of the wealthiest women of the 20th century. She inherited much of her wealth from the Post Cereal company and continued to acquire food brands to build her wealth. Marjorie was a collector and loved to surround herself with rare and expensive works of art and historical artifacts. After her death in 1973, Marjorie was cremated and her ashes were placed in an urn carved from rare purple porphyry. Her urn is sat high atop a marble pillar in the garden of her Washington D.C. home and can be visited by anyone who visits the Hillwood Estate, Museum and Gardens. The base of the pillar is carved with her coat of arms and the Latin phrase “In me mea spes omnis” which translates to “all my hopes rest in me.” The urn overlooks the estate and the graves of all of her pets buried nearby.
The Davis Memorial
In the Mount Hope Cemetery in Hiawatha, Kansas sits a massive Tomb. The memorial was built by John Milburn Davis for Sarah Hart Davis who was his wife of 50 years. After she died in 1930, John Davis placed a simple gravestone to mark where she was laid to rest. He decided it wasn’t enough and commissioned a local monument dealer named Horace England to continue to make the gravesite more extravagant. John spent 7 years and almost all of his wealth adding 11 Italian marble life size statues of him and his wife, stone urns, a solid marble canopy, and a marble and granite wall surrounding the grave.

Fernand Arbelot
Very little is known about musician and actor Fernand Arbelot, but his grave has drawn visitors from all over the world. Located in Paris’ Pere LAchaise Cemetery, Fernand is sculpted laying down and holding up the disembodied face of his wife. The epitaph on the grave says “Ils furent emerveilles du beau voyage qui les mean jusq'au buot de la vie” which translates in English to “They marveled at the beauty of the journey that brought them to the end of life.” The monument was designed by Belgian sculptor Adolphe Wansart and installed in 1946, 4 years after Fernand’s death. Nobody knows the name or place of burial of his wife.

Nicholas Cage
Although actor Nicholas Cage is not yet deceased, he is planning on resting in style in a 9 foot tall stone pyramid mausoleum.The actor purchased 2 plots in the St. Louis Cemetery in New Orleans and had the pyramid built in one of them. The cemetery is where New Orleans Voodoo practitioner Marie Laveau is laid to rest, whose historic home is also owned by Cage. The tomb stands in stark contrast to the crumbling mausoleums around it. Inscribed on its’ front is the latin phrase “Omnia Ab Uno” which translates to “Everything From One.”. The actor has not commented on why his future grave is styled how it is, but several rumors have circulated that it is an homage to the movie “National Treasure” which he starred in.

The Panteon De Oriente Cemetery
Located in Durango, Mexico this cemetery also functions as a museum that displays hundreds of unique tombs sculpted by quarry master Benigo Montoya from 1898 to 1929. Each one of the over 300 gravestones and chapels sculpted by Montoya are unique. He was known for sculpting realistic angels in the likenesses of people buried there. Along with beautiful gravestones, he also sculpted chapels that hold Durango’s most wealthy 19th century families. These ornate chapels have their own symbolism and ornamentation that symbolizes the families buried within them.

Manchester United fail to win despite Martial's first goal in 10 months... 먹튀검증
먹튀검증먹튀사이트먹튀검증사이트먹튀 검증 먹튀 사이트 먹튀 검증 사이트
Manchester United did not win even though Anthony Martial scored in the English Premier League (EPL) for the first time in about 10 months.
Manchester United drew 1-1 with Everton in the 7th round of the 2021-2022 English Premier League (EPL) held at Old Trafford, Manchester, England on the 2nd (Korean time). Martial and Andros Townsend scored one goal each.
The two teams, who were tied with 13 points, rose to 14 points side by side, beating Manchester City, Chelsea, and Brighton & Hove Albion (13 points), which have not played the 7th round yet, to rise to second and third place in the league. Manchester United are second in goal difference, three goals ahead, and Everton are third.
Home team Manchester United came out with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Edinson Cavani was placed at the top, while Martial, Bruno Fernandes and Mason Greenwood applied in the second line. Fred and Scott McTominay worked together in midfield. Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof, Rafael Varane and Aaron Wansaka formed the back, while David De Gea held the goal.
Everton were in a 4-4-1-1 formation. He put Salomon Rondon at the forefront and Demerai Gray backed up. Anthony Gordon, Alan, Abdulaye Doukure and Townsend formed the midfield. The backs were Luca Digne, Michael Keane, Yeri Mina and Ben Godfrey, and the goalkeepers were Jordan Pickford.
At the beginning of the game, Manchester United maintained close to 70% of the game and seized a good opportunity first. In the 5th minute of the first half, Cavani took the ball with his back to the goal and passed it on to Wansaka, who joined the attack. Wanwansaka, who beat Dinho with his skill, entered the penalty box and posted a sharp cross, and Martial from the opposite post made a header. However, it did not go to the goal due to the wrong direction setting.
After 10 minutes of the first half, the away team Everton also started a counterattack. In the 15th minute of the first half, he got a chance for a free kick near the right touchline. Keane beat Shaw's check and headered Townsend's left-footed free kick, but the ball went over the side of the post.
In the 20th minute of the first half, Cavani's positioning was brilliant. Fred received the ball from a wide open position to the left and threw a cross into the penalty box. Cavani, who was standing near Keane, instantly caught the point of the fall and fell behind Keane. He managed to hit the head precisely without any checks, but the Pickford keeper threw himself away and kicked it off.
In the middle of the first half, Everton continued to threaten Manchester United's goal. In the 30th minute of the first half, Gordon, who received a pass from Digne, broke through the left and sent a ground cross to the door. Townsend rushed to the doorstep, but the Shaw stopped him. Two minutes later, Fernandes' forward pass was blocked by Dinho by throwing himself. After winning the ball, Gray used his speed to dribble past the two defenders and even attempted a mid-range shot. It was a shot on target, but De Gea struck it.
Manchester United took the lead in the 42nd minute. Fernandes, who received the ball to avoid Townsend's pressure, gave a through pass to Martial, who ran into the empty space to the left of the penalty box. Martial's precise shot flew past the two Everton defenders and over the head of the Pickford keeper into the net.
In the 12th minute of the second half, United made the first substitution. Instead of Cavani and Martial, Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho were added.
In the 20th minute of the second half Everton scored an equalizer with a quick counterattack. After United's corner kick, Gray fought off a fight with Fred and carried the ball forward. Doucure, who followed, received Gray's pass and passed it to Townsend, who infiltrated the other side, and Townsend aimed at the left corner of the post to finish.
Manchester United, who allowed the equalizer in the 25th minute of the second half, replaced Fred and replaced Paul Pogba. Two minutes later, Everton responded by dropping Gordon and replacing Tom Davis.
In the 29th minute of the second half, Sancho and Ronaldo, who were replaced, worked together. Ronaldo, who drove up the ball from the left side of the stadium, handed the ball to Sancho and entered the penalty box. Sancho, who caught the attention of the opposing defense, gave the ball back to Ronaldo, and Ronaldo opened it with a left-footed shot. The shot passed the front of the goal and went off to the other side.
Everton shook the net in the 39th minute of the second half, but the goal was soon canceled. Mina received Davis' ground pass and pushed it into the goal. However, as a result of video analysis (VAR), Mina's position was confirmed to be offside, and the judgment was corrected.
In the second half, Everton wasted time by dropping Gray and adding Louis Dovin. The match ended 1-1 with no further goals scored.

Dreamwatch 11.20 (Opening)
This show starts differently. It starts with Public Relations Chair Maddie in the ring with Takaya Kiryu and Mask Legend. GM Maddie explains that Dreamwatch is in an interesting position right now and Dreamawatch needs to find a way to get back on track, shake things up, and establish itself as a true titan in the wrestling business. She explains that Mask Legend is here to reveal part of that plan... and that Kiryu is here to air some grievances. Mask Legend was supposed to speak first but Kiryu cuts ahead.
Takaya Kiryu: What is happening with this company? I'll tell you what's happening: exactly what you deserve. When's the last time we've seen the title belt on a Dreamwatch show? When's the last time we've seen the guy that got away with the heist of the century and took our top prize from us? This is what happens when you ignore the greatness that is right in front of you! I don't know how many times I need to keep saying it to you all, but I beat Alex Garcia in under ten minutes! The greatest luchador of our time! I am a champion slayer! The guy that has our belt is a luchador and I bet he isn't nearly as strong as the people that I've been able to beat! The time to make the right decision is now! Either you give me a title match with him, or Dreamwatch never gets its belt back and will have less prestige than all of the other wrestling promotions out there right now!
Maddie: This is not my decision to make, but I believe the higher ups would not mind me saying that we have a plan to have another title match and it may or may not involve you.
Takaya Kiryu: Finally! You people are smart you know what to do. Let's get the ball back rolling with a champion you all can rely on!
*Kiryu is interrupted by the arrival of Davi Fernandes, Daniel Gonzalez, and Javier Martinez*
Davi Fernandes: Hey! I'm tired of hearing you tout one victory you have! You're a disrespectful jerk that needs to be put in his place! We, Bondad, will restore the faith of the lucha fans and the honor of lucha libre when we beat you and your little friends! We're honorable men and we'd make better champions than you ever could. A champion should be someone that the people can look up to, and right now the world of lucha libre looks up to us!
*Davi Fernandes is interrupted by the arrival of Carlos Moreno, Alex Alvarez, and Fernando Diyas*
Fernando Diyas: Can you shut up with that?! You're a liar! You talk about yourselves and Alex Garcia like you're some kind of Lucha gods. Like you're the representatives of Lucha Libre when you're not! We've been here putting on better performances than any of you since day one! All that any of you Bondad losers have done is talk down the hard work of other luchadores by putting yourselves above us while you look like losers at every opportunity you're given and complain! How are you gonna pretend like you're anything when daddy Alex Garcia lost one match and decided to be a quitter! He quit when he got embarrassed instead of being strong, and the rest of you are his irrelevant scraps that wouldn't have even made it here if you didn't catch a ride here by clinging to his coat tails. You guys are finished!
*Javier Martinez quickly gets in the face of Fernando Diyas before Alex Alvarez pushes him back, causing some commotion between the teams before Daniel Gonzalez holds back Javier. Fernando, Carlos, and Alex walk away*
Mask Legend: That's exciting! I love that kind of stuff! Passion, energy, heart! Most importantly, there were quite a few Jr heavyweights in that scramble. Good for them, since Dreamwatch has decided to put on some Jr Heavyweight exclusive shows! There will be multiple shows that showcase all of the Jr Heavyweight talent in Dreamwatch and beyond! In Dreamwatch, there's been an effort to destroy the division and to kill any chance of building a Jr Heavyweight legacy in this promotion. These shows were my idea as a way to counter this narrative by showing the true excellence of Jr Heavyweights. You just saw how young and hungry this division is, so please look forward to it!
PR Maddie: That's all for our opening statements! Some exciting things to come! Keep your eyes on us and look forward to everything Dreamwatch has coming in the future!
