Lauren believes Arsenal would be crazy not to try and sign Anthony Martial in the summer, labelling the Manchester United forward "fantastic"
The France international's time at Old Trafford has been up and down this season after he initially struggled to get a game, and is now one of the first names on Jose Mourinho's teamsheet
The Red Devils will make tying the Frenchman down to a new deal a high priority in the summer, but his contract does expire at the end of this campaign, and there will be a number of clubs snooping around him
Lauren, who was an Arsenal Invincible in the 2003/04 season, believes his former side should be at the front of the chasing pack to try and secure Martial's signature
"If Martial doesn't renew his contract at Man United, Arsenal would be crazy not to try and snap him up," Lauren told Sporting Bet
"He's a fantastic player and is starting to show what he can really do when given a good run of games
"Martial won't go anywhere without being guaranteed first team football, which I think he would get at Arsenal
" Martial's relationship with Mourinho hasn't always been smooth, with the pair falling out in the summer during pre-season training
The Frenchman left United's US training camp for the birth of his second child back home, and Mourinho was annoyed he took extended leave to be with his son
Facing a fine from his manager, Martial eventually responded on social media, writing in French: "Thank you all for your messages
"My little Swan is well, it was more difficult for the mum but thanks to God she is better now
I'm sorry but my family will always come first."

What Is Black Garlic and Why Is It So Good For You? - Duration: 2:56.
Do you know what black garlic is?
Although it may just look like rotten garlic, or garlic that has been cooked for too long,
it's actually become very famous around the world due to it's culinary uses and health
benefits.
It becomes black when the garlic heads rot enough to become black and develop a smooth,
sticky texture quite similar to the texture of dates.
What about the flavor?
If you don't really like traditional garlic, you may enjoy this black version which is
sweeter and earthier and many people describe it as being very tasty.
The most interesting part about this black garlic is that it can be consumed in large
quantities.
Due to how rich its flavors are, it has become very popular in cooking, but what really makes
it special are its amazing health properties.
Originally from Korea, black garlic was created as a health product and was considered a better
tasting way to benefit from garlic's properties:

What If Quetzalcoatl Was Real? - Duration: 6:30.
Hello Internet - and welcome back to the most inquisitive channel on YouTube - Life's
Biggest Questions - the only place on the internet where you can find a factual fictitious
mashup of mythological entities, buzzed up in a metaphorical blender of 21st century
implications.
What's going on guys - as always, I'll be your disembodied floating voice Jack Finch
- as we once again step into the realm where mythology meets reality - cry out into the
sky during a thunderous downpour - and piously ask the question - What If Quetzalcoatl Was
Real?
Roll the clip.
Quetzalcoatl - he was the wind, the guide and the road sweeper of the rain gods - of
the masters of the water, of those who brought rain.
And when the wind rose, when the dust rumbled, and it cracked - and there was a great din,
it became dark and the wind blew in many directions, and it thundered - then it was said - Quetzalcoatl
is wrathful.
Well - what has the metaphysical representation of the wind and air got to do with any of
us?
I suppose we better find out really.
Before we offer ourselves up as a human sacrifice though guys - you know how the chips fall
by now - if you're a fan of this video, Aztec mythology - great feathered serpentine
gods - or just Life's Biggest Questions in general - then please, be a dear and hit

Also, we've got a little proposition for you all - over here at LBQ - we want to know
what makes you guys tick - and if you've got a burning idea for a series of questioning
videos, let us know in the comment box down below.
We try and read each and every one - so stick around until the end, because I'll be reading
out some of your best witty remarks from the past few weeks.
Alright - let's lay our cards down on the table.
If Quetzalcoatl was real - then Central America just got a hell of a lot more interesting.
But to tackle this question, first we've got to find out a bit more about the main
man himself.
Quetzalcoatl - boy, do I just love saying that name - is the Aztec deity of the wind,
air, learning, the planet Venus, of the dawn - of merchants and of arts - and knowledge
- he's got many feathers in his Serpentine cap and he's quite the all-rounder as far
as ancient all-powerful deities go.
To the Aztecs, Quetzalcoatl means feathered serpent in the Nahuatl language - and was
often depicted as such, or as a large flying reptile - similar to a dragon, that acted
as the boundary maker between earth and sky.
Don't worry though, he also had a much more human side - and would often visit the physical
plane as Ehecatl - the anthropomorphic aspect of the Wind God.
I'm hoping that he'd be much more comfortable in the form during the 21st century.
Many Mesoamerican archeological digs have discovered burial sites with a cornucopia
of Quetzalcoatl symbolism - primarily in the form of a conch shell, a talisman that his
followers would wear - depicting patterns of hurricanes, dust devils, seashells and
whirlpools.
It's safe to say - he was pretty well loved in the Aztec Pantheon - and had a swathe of
all powerful cults to enact his bidding in the physical realm.
The origin of Quetzalcoatl is murky at best though, as is usually the case - and there
are several stories surrounding the main mans birth.
In one version of the myth, Quetzalcoatl was born by a virgin named Chimalman - to whom
the god Onteol appear in a dream.
Hm - where have I heard that one before?
In another version, the same virgin conceived Quetzalcoatl by swallowing an emerald.
In a third, the story narrates that Chimalman was hit in the womb by an arrow shot by Mixcoatl
- and nine months later she gave birth to a child which was called Quetzalcoatl.
Well - funny how that works, isn't it?
Well - either way, whichever route Quetzalcoatl took to gain access into our mortal realm,
where would he be now - right here in 2018?
Remember I said that Central America would look like a very different place?
Yeah, things would go a little bit more swimmingly if you had the backing of an all powerful
wind dragon by your side.
Let's take the Spanish Conquest as an example.
It is argued by historians that when the Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortes landed in what
is now mainland Mexico in 1519 - the Aztec Emperor Montezuma the 2nd - believed him to
be the manifestation of Quetzalcoatl, returning to change the course of Aztec history.
Well let's run that simulation again, and say that instead of a gang of brightly feathered
Aztec warriors meeting the Spaniards on the beach - it was Quetzalcoatl himself in all
his serpentine-wind-dragon glory.
Yeah, I think it's safe to say they wouldn't have gotten too far.
At the same time though - the Aztec empire were facing a threat from their own continent
- the Tlaxcala - a Mesoamerican society that opposed human sacrifice and the Aztec ways.
In our history, Hernando Cortes eventually coerced these people into a loose alliance
against the Aztecs - ultimately leading to their downfall.
Well, if Quetzalcoatl made short work of the Spanish - then the same would be said for
these guys.
With one muster of his catastrophic hurricane power, the enemies of the Aztec people would
have fallen by the wayside.
The Aztec Empire would have sprawled out from this initial flashpoint, changing the course
of Mesoamerican history as we knew it.
With Spain's conquest a writhing failure, it could be said that European interest in
the Americas would be halted - with rumours and whispers of an all powerful serpentine
god defending the continent.
And then really - it's anyone's guess.
Perhaps Quetzalcoatl would have led his people to dominate the rest of South America - and
even the North, warring against the native groups of the Sioux and the Apache.
If Quetzalcoatl was real - perhaps the Americas would have become a land similar to the likes
of China - steeped in mysterious isolation and metaphysical mythology, growing into a
powerful Empire of mysticism, magic and might.
Well - that's my spin on it - what do you guys think?
Let us know in the comment section down below.
Before we depart - here's some of the wittiest things you guys have had to say in the past
few weeks.
Bells Bobson1 says - Hey LBQ - Can you make a video on Will The Humans Colonize The Entire
Milky Way Galaxy.
Well, Bells Bobson1, that sounds like a fantastic idea - I'll bump it up the food chain.
Next up - I unpacked Your brain with win rar - which, may I said, is the greatest name

What If The Headless Horseman Was Real? - Duration: 6:46.
Cold, misty nights.
The kind of night where you aren't sure whether it is your breath that you are seeing
in front of you, or the incessant fog.
The kind of night where you just want to make it home and warm up by the fire but first,
you have to get there.
As you try, you hear the soft clip clopping of hooves in the distance… but they get
louder and louder… and you see a figure…but….it can't be!
Where is its head?!
Hello and welcome back to Life's Biggest Questions, the channel that loves to do a
bit of theorizing on basically anything and everything because we know that no question
is too stupid and that curiosity didn't kill the cat – it only made it wiser.
I am your host, Rebecca Felgate and today I am asking What if The Headless Horseman
was real.
Before we ride on into this video, I want to ask you guys if you have ever seen a ghost!
Let me know in the comments section down below!
So the legend of the Headless Horseman is some kind of unification between American
Folklore and actual history – the way most legends are born!
The headless horseman has become a bit of a horror trope but the story seems to date
back to Dutch settlers along New York State's Hudson River.
It seems that during the Revolutionary War, Hessian Horseman were deployed by the British
army.
During one battle, a fearsome fighter went into battle on his horse, only to have his
head blown off by a cannon.
The man was said to have been quickly buried in the churchyard of Sleepy Hollow because
the Dutch Settlement was most like the homeland.
Ever since, he is said to ride out at night to seek his head or take the head of someone
else to replace the one he lost…or maybe as a final act of revenge.
A further legend has the headless horseman spiriting away a local townsman….
So…what if this spook was real?
Let's get one thing straight – the Headless Horseman is scary…sure… he seems pretty
local.
If he was real, he would likely just haunt the town of Sleepy Hollow, which sits in the
Hudson Valley – just a 46 minute drive from Manhattan.
If he did escape and gallop forth, then maybe there is a small chance of the undead spirit
clip clopping on his ghost horse to NYC, although that would likely take the best part of a
day, or at least an afternoon on horseback…so the city of 8.6 million would likely have
time to prepare.
Buttt lets just for fun imagine the headless horseman going rogue in central park, and
riding through a deserted time square, leaving none but a trail of decapitated heads behind
him.
Maybe residents could all evacuate onto boats on the Hudson River and watch as he rides
the shores.
Ghost horseman cant clop on water, can they?
I don't think so!
Okay, so like the headless horseman is devastated that his head was blown off and is constantly
searching for it or chopping off others heads in revenge.
I get it why he is upset, it's gnarly….
The act of severing a head is still one of the worst ways humans can envisage death – which
is perhaps why legends of the horseman have stuck around for so long.
It's a pretty powerful visual.
I'm thinking….why can't we just make him a new head?
Can we 3D print a lil summin summin for him.
If we knew who he was we could probably do a little head reconstruction?
Would that make him happy or would he be even angrier!
How much danger would we really be in if the horseman was real and would we even know about
it?
For one man and his horse I doubt that he could cause the amount of chaos I alluded
to above…right? in the legend – he searches for his own head, or steals another or spirits
people away.
I guess we would notice how serious he is about this when people started going missing
or headless bodies start being found?
BUT one question – if the headless horseman became such from being peed off about losing
his head, wouldn't killing others in the same way create a whole new breed of angry
headless spirits?
The Headless milkman, the headless baker, the headless school teacher, the headless
tree surgeon.
Would they not stop until everyone was headless…and what then?
If the headless horseman were real and was able to decapitate an unsuspecting human,
that would a mean that ghosts are real and it would mean they could effectively "GET"
you which would be pretty worrying.
This would extend beyond the realms of just the horseman….
Amid the panic at this revelation, I imagine that seers and spiritualists would be able
to make a quick buck selling anti ghost amulets or protection spells.
Goodbye headless horseman, hello capitalism.
I would say we would need to get a ghost hunter to in to negotiate with the horseman….like….what
can we do to quell his bloody rampage….
But as Ed Warren is dead and Lorraine is pretty old, I am wondering who would be up for the
job?
So, before we wrap up this video, I feel like we need to talk a little more about Sleepy
Hollow.
A whole town out there believes in the legend of the headless horseman….
Listen to this….. editors roll clip.
Right.
Well…if that is the case and he is real, he hasn't done too much damage in the past
hundred or so years….so why don't we just leave him to it?
Headless Horsemen deserve peace, too!
Okay, I'm done.
What would you guys do if the headless horseman was real?
Would you run and hide or would you try and negotiate with him?
Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below….also like.
Before we go I just want to read some comments from the Are White Holes Real Video:
Crossfighter Freddy vs Jason said: What if NASA never existed?
Theo Tomingas Naf said: What if Thomas the Tankengine and his friends were real.
OH MY…how terrifying!
Humans fused with trains.
Living trains.
Getting on a living train….eeergh!
Okay, the comments have taken me to a weird place and it is time to say goodbye!

What Is The City of London Corporation? - Duration: 12:20.
As historian Niall Ferguson writes in his 2011
book, "Civilization: The West and the Rest", the city of London was an outback in the 15th
century compared to some of China's great cities.
Then with international trading led by The British East India Company money flooded in,
as did people of different nationalities.
The population is estimated to have been 50,000 in 1530 and then in 1605 it was around 225,000
people.
Throughout the industrial revolution London became the center of the world and from around
1825 to 1925 it had the largest population of any city on Earth.
The British Empire faded, but London has always been a powerhouse culturally, but also economically.
According to the Global Financial Centers Index, London is still the largest financial
center in the world- but what is this great city truly about?
Welcome to this episode of the Infographics Show, What is the city of London corporation?
It may come as a surprise to some of you that London is not just a city but also a corporation.
Those that don't know are probably thinking right now what is this corporation?
Does it function like the Microsoft Corporation?
Does it hire and fire and post annual profits?
Does it have a main headquarters and a CEO?
Let's find out.
So, the Corporation of London or in legal terms the Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens
of the City of London, is the governing body of London's financial district which is
sometimes referred to as the "Square Mile."
Within that mile around 8,000 live, although around 400,000 people commute into that area
for work every day, according to the corporation's own website.
London is divided into 33 areas, or boroughs, and this area is one of them.
On its website the corporation is perhaps extremely vague when it answers the question
concerning what it is responsible for.
The answer it gives is, "Providing services for residents (and City businesses) in the
Square Mile, but not those of other boroughs."
And yep, you can apply for a job in this corporation, just like any other.
It has bosses in a sort of way and lots of staff.
But let's rewind a little.
We have to go back a long way when we look at how this corporation began.
In fact, it's often called the "world's oldest continuously-elected democracy and
predates Parliament."
The city of London school website writes, "The Corporation's structure includes the
Lord Mayor, the Court of Aldermen, the Court of Common Council, and the Freemen and Livery
of the City.
The City of London developed a unique form of government which led to the system of parliamentary
government at local and national level."
We'll make a long story short here.
2,000 years ago, the Romans founded a trading post in what is now southern England and they
called it Londinium.
They did what they did best and built roads, walls, bridges, and made this place an excellent
hub of trading.
For hundreds of years the city endured and when William the Conqueror arrived in the
11th century he quite liked it, too.
He created the city of London and gave Londoners their privileges and rights so long as they
accepted him as King.
Done deal.
He built towers around the place, including the Tower of London, and fortified the rest
of London.
The city of London was a special old place, and this started a kind of agreement that
it should remain a power unto itself.
Later monarchs to some extent feared this powerful city and they created Westminster,
which is west of the city of London.
You then had two cities.
The city of London still had a lot of freedom, which, according to one website, was "an
essential requirement for all who wished to carry on business and prosper in trade within
the Square Mile."
Freemen there could do their business not impinged by outside influence.
It was in 1191 that the Corporation announced itself as a commune, only one rung on the
ladder below the sovereign.
It judged itself, it was in a way a law unto itself.
It became so powerful that in 1632 the crown asked if the corporation might extend its
privileges to other areas of London, but it refused.
These privileges we are talking about were mainly related to laws.
As more people flooded into London, many of them refuges from the poorer Midlands and
the North, the corporation was asked if it might extend its boundaries.
In 1637 it rebuffed that proposal, and this became known as "The Great Refusal".
It's when the corporation of London in some ways turned its back on the rest of London
and that's why people sometimes talk about "A Tale of Two Cities."
One historian writes, "From that point on the people of London lacked any democratic
unitary municipal authority.
Business and, most particularly, finance, in contrast, had the most ancient political
institution in the kingdom at their disposal."
There were attempts to reform this gilded city, but the corporation stayed.
In the 18th century London was flourishing, but it was the corporation that really flourished,
bolstered by free trade.
And it went against the monarchy at times, making it a kind of rogue entity in England.
It supported George Washington and the American revolution, even sending over men to fight
for American independence and also sending over lots of money – something it wasn't
short of.
This was pretty much treason, but it got away with it.
The corporation was untouchable.
Soon Parliament replaced the Crown as the highest power and democracy supplanted the
Divine Right of Kings, but still the Corporation of London remained a power unto itself, and
the state didn't want to make it subject to its practices and laws.
The privileges and all the assets the corporation remained in-tact.
It worked for itself, not exactly always serving the people of Britain.
This of course has inspired a lot of criticism, and that criticism we hear today.
Political writer George Monbiot offers us this stark line when talking about the Corporation
of London: "It's the dark heart of Britain, the place where democracy goes to die, immensely
powerful, equally unaccountable."
He then adds that it's doubtful even one in ten Brits knows it exists.
Are any Brits nodding their head right now?
Monbiot explains that there are 25 electoral wards in the Square Mile area, but only four
of them contain the 9,000 (we read 8,000 before) people that can vote.
All the other votes are not people, they are business, mainly banks and finance companies.
And no, it's not the workers inside the businesses that vote, it's the bosses.
The bigger the company, the more votes it gets.
This is what is known as a Plutocracy.
So, even though the corporation calls itself a democracy, it's really just an entity
ruled by the most rich and powerful.
It gets stranger, though, and that's why there are tons of conspiracy theories about
this corporation.
So, there are different layers of elected people.
They are the common councilmen, the aldermen, the sheriffs and the Lord Mayor.
To get into any of these positions you must be a freeman.
What the hell is a freeman?
The corporation's own website writes, "The medieval term 'freeman' meant someone who
was not the property of a feudal lord but enjoyed privileges such as the right to earn
money and own land.
Town dwellers who were protected by the charter of their town or city were often free – hence
the term 'freedom' of the City."
Nowadays if you want to apply to become a freeman, you must either show exceptional
servitude, inherit the title or be nominated by a Livery company…hmm, and what exactly
is a livery company?
They came out of medieval guilds, developed into trading and crafts companies and are
now basically just powerful entities that embrace trade and commerce.
There are 110 of them in London.
They have lavish dinner parties and mostly speak in a kind of archaic posh English that
is sometimes mocked by the rest of the country.
At the head of the table you might find the Prime Warden of the Goldsmiths, Lord Sutherland
of Houndwood.
You get the picture, this is ancient, ritualistic England, a kind of Eyes Wide Shut scenario
to those who might also believe the Queen is a lizard.
It's definitely a bit anachronistic and strange to most.
So, to become a freeman you must also get approval by an alderman, who has already gotten
approval from a livery company.
If you want to become the Lord Mayor, you must have gotten approval from everyone.
You must also give a lot of money away, which basically means you need to be very, very
rich to get that position.
As Monbiot says, it's all about being in what the Brits call an "Old Boys Network",
which is a derogatory term meaning upper-class men that have made connections with other
posh men in expensive schools and those connections are carried into adulthood.
These are the people that run the corporation of London.
With money as their lodestar it's not surprising this network isn't always playing a straight
game, after all, they were partly behind the financial crisis.
Even after that crisis, the Lord Mayor's job is partly to be an advocate for liberalization.
That means deregulation.
This can encourage corruption.
That's why the corporation is so often criticized.
In the documentary "The Spider's Web: Britain's Second Empire" the creators take a dim view
of the Corporation of London, saying that after the empire collapsed it was this corporation
that still pulled the strings in the world's finance sectors.
And it wasn't always ethical.
This was corroborated in the book, Treasure Islands, which says that because the corporation
is a law unto itself, it can virtually get away with anything.
The government is sometimes powerless to intervene.
What goes on in the corporation stays in the corporation.
Monbiot writes, "The City has exploited this remarkable position to establish itself
as a kind of offshore state, a secrecy jurisdiction which controls the network of tax havens housed
in the UK's crown dependencies and overseas territories."
We're talking about billions and billions of dollars, money laundered through the corporation
with absolute impunity.
That's what the critics tell us anyway.
The documentary we just mentioned says this cash isn't just the money of oligarchs,
but also drug barons, gangsters, and sometimes money from African despots who have mined
their poor countries' resources but have no intention of putting the money back into
their country.
All this aided and abetted by this superpower within a square mile of London.
We might add that a lot of cash that should have been taxable could have gone back in
Great Britain, which some critics say is a reason some of the country's poorer areas
look almost third world.
The author of Treasure Islands writes about this, saying the relationship between offshore
islands such as the Cayman Islands and the corporation can't be understated in terms
of how important it is for those involved and how it is detrimental to the British people.
"This relationship is of massive, almost transcendental importance for the UK," he
said.
It's not that the City of London Corporation is directly an offshore business, it's just
the special rules it works under allow it to direct money to tax havens.
Will it change?
One critic wrote, "I have observed British officials blocking attempts to strengthen
international cooperation on tax information exchange by keeping discussion on offshore
trusts off the agenda.
This happened as recently as 2015."
It's not just islands far away, either.
Most people know large companies can find a tax haven next door on the islands of the
Crown Dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.
The Occupied Times writes that these three islands, "provided net financing to UK banks
of a staggering $332.5 billion in the second quarter of 2009."
It's not exactly secret, either.
You can read on the Jersey Finance website that it provides services for, "corporate
treasurers, institutional bankers and treasury specialists, fund promoters, brokers and other
corporate financiers, Jersey represents an extension of the City of London."
According to critics hundreds of billions of dollars of cash is not getting taxed, while
the Brits complain about late trains, NHS cutbacks and dole scroungers.
We'll leave you with this line from Treasure Islands:
"'There is nothing we can do' is the typical response to those who say that the
UK cracks down on the criminality, abuse and corruption run out of these places.
And behind it all lies the City of London, anxious to preserve its access to the world's
dirty money."

What if Nagini Was Real? - Duration: 6:40.
Nagini…
Voldemort's faithful serpent side kick – a venomous and merciless killer.
The snake from your worst nightmares…
As the Wizarding World expands we now know there is more to the snake than first met
the eye – we now know that she started of as good and kind, a friend to Credence and
a helper to Albus Dumbledore.
Hello and welcome back to Life's Biggest Questions – I am your Harry Potter Loving
host Rebecca Felgate and I loveeeeeeee it when we get to answer Potter Questions!
Join me as we slither in to this epic video as I ask What if Nagini was real!
Before we answer this slippery question I want to ask you guys what your Hogwarts house
is and what your favourite fantastic beast is!?
My house is Slytherin and my favourite beast is the Niffler.
If you are into Harry Potter – I have a Harry Potter Youtube channel…just search
Rebecca Felgate and you will find it!
Okay NAGINI… if Nagini was real?
What would this mean...
Well let's look on the plus side before we are taken down by her infamous venomy fangs…
if she was real… would this mean that the entire wizarding world is real?
If so….
What's a killer snake between friends.
If you don't mind me…I'll be patiently waiting for the owl with my Hogwarts acceptance
letter.
No…I have to finish the video?
Okay… but after that I'll be intercepting that owly post.
SO if Nagini was real, this would mean that humans could transform into animals…which
is pretty massive if you think about it.
Nagini was a Maledictus – which basically meant that she was the carrier of a blood
curse that doomed her to ultimately transform into a beast.
In the earlier part of her life she enjoyed the same perks of being an animagus – someone
who could transform into an animal at will – but eventually her fate was to become
that animal – she became a snake.
So my question is – if Nagini is real and Maledicti are real then this would mean that
there are other people out there suffering the same curse – have you ever looked into
the eyes of a particularly knowing cow or felt like that fly buzzing around your room
is trying to tell you something… like…maybe they are.
I wonder what other blood curses are out there too?
Are we powerless to stop them.
Nagini certainly seemed so.
If Nagini were real, this would mean that parceltongues are real and people can speak
to snakes.
Imagine all of the secret chambers that could be unlocked with a hiss?
If parceltongue is real – then maybe there are other animal languages that we could learn?
The problem is with parceltongue is that it allows humans to control animals – if Nagini
were real, well…we all know who was controlling her – Voldemort.
What other nasty wizards would use language to control animals to do their biddings?
Nagini was also telepathic – she was able to communicate with her dark master even when
they weren't together.
She also managed to taunt Harry Potter's dreams – with the boy who lived actually
inhabiting part of her brain and seeing events through her eyes.
Telepathic animals with human consciousness and the ability to be controlled by evil schemers
sounds pretty scary…as if snakes weren't worrying enough.
If Nagini was real you would not want to be bitten by her – like a lot of ferocious
snakes, she is venomous…although her venom is magical and pretty deadly.
When she bit Arthur Weasley, he was in St mungo's hospital for months because her
venom didn't allow for his wounds to heal.
It was all very well that Arthur was in a magical hospital but if she bit a muggle,
they would like bleed out and die without much hope of saving.
For all Nagini's scary qualities, she does have some good too.
While her venom is worrisome it also has healing properties.
When Voldemort was reborn, it was partly a magical component to her venom that restored
him to health.
And while what I am about to say is very gross and disturbing, she could also be milked.
Errrgh…milking a snake.
Her milk was able to sustain Voldemort and help him grow strong again – allowing him
to sustain life.
So… for all her bad traits, Nagini could be harnessed for good.
We know from Fantastic Beasts that she started good, perhaps when her blood curse took full
hold that was when she was drawn to the dark side.
If she was real, maybe we could try and level with her – she does have a human conscience
after all… we could try and convince her to do good.
The onlyyyyyy problem is though…the awkward issue of her being a horcrux.
Nagini contains a little part of Lord Voldemort's soul.
If she was real and alive, sadly that would mean that she would need to be killed, if
not the dark lord could return.
It would be a shame to kill her because we know she has good in her… but it would have
to be.
The trouble would be finding and capturing her…she can basically hide anywhere….
Nagini had the ability to inhabit human bodies – remember that horrifying scene in Godrick'
hollow where she waits for Harry, Ron and Hermione INSIDE Bathilda Bagshot's body?
I certainly will never forget.
Capturing her would be a task beyond prest control or the highest trained zooologists
– we would need the best magizooologist…we would need Newt Scamander.
But then, could he kill a former ally ? The real question with Nagini is …well…who
is she, who cursed her and what made her turn from Dumbledore's side to becoming the side
kick of one of the most evil wizards of all time.
Perhaps we will find out in the next Fantastic Beasts, but now we can all but wonder.
SO, what would you do if Nagini was real?
Should we do more magical snake questions ? Let me know in the comments section down
below.

A good question… we could probably do a video on what would happen if Medusa brushed

EGYPTIAN HOSPITAL / WHAT HAPPENED/ PREPARATION FOR EXAMS (English subtitles) - Duration: 10:22.
already some time ago a small clubfoot appeared when walking
And I noticed it and many subscribers also wrote about this that she needed
check the legs and in the end we got together and went with Malyak to the doctor, right?
Malyak: What? I say we went to the doctor, right? Malyak: Yes. So now you will see ...... Malyak: Tell me that I ate cornflakes with milk, tea and
sausage with
Meat soup you ate and potatoes, right? Malyak: Yes. And then........
In short, now you will see how we went to the hospital and what came of it. And what a Malyak diagnosed.
Do not be afraid. Why are you afraid? Malyak somehow freaked out. He will just look. Do not be afraid of anything. No one will do anything.
You just see why so leg and all. I promise you. Malyak: I'm scared. Well, here is the doctor.
The doctor said that Malyak needs to do x-ray. Now we do, right? It didn't hurt at all, did it? Malyak: What?
Malyak: What is X-Ray? Will see what's there. Well you did not hurt the truth?
Malyak: Yes. Now we will make a picture of the pelvis.
What do you have going on there? Malyak: Yeah.
no visible defects. Malyak: I was afraid they would give me an injection. There are no injection they will not do.
Now Malyak will do X-Ray
Made Malyak X-Ray. Now we are waiting for the pictures to be ready.
And then we go to the doctor and see what he tells us, right? It didn't hurt, right? Malyak: Yeah.
Doctors are now watching our picture.
We got the pictures. What have we been told? The orthopedic doctor said that Malyak had no violations.
We looked at the picture. It's okay
The doctor said that with age this clubfoot will improve.
I asked if it would get worse with time? The doctor said no. And that with age until the Malyak grows it will straighten.
I wrote calcium to drink for 2 months.
When sitting, the doctor recommended sitting either straight or in a lotus position.
More and more, he did not give any recommendations.
The only doctor said more sun from which the child receives vitamin D.
But the sun, thank God, is enough here. So we will abide by.
Not scary and did not hurt? Malyak: Don't hurt.
Those. The doctor said more sun - this is vitamin D. And drink extra calcium. And it's all.
As for sports, you can also go in for sports.
So here's the situation
All right so far. Malyak: Bye.
On the recommendation of the doctors, we still got light on the sea. Yes mom?
Mom: In the sun. Yes on the sun.
Since the doctor said that the Malyak needs more sun. Vitamin D.
And calcium. Mom yesterday cooked meatballs, mashed potatoes and salad.
And Malyak ate with pleasure, yes moms?
Malyak understood that we went to the doctor and that we needed to eat well.
And so she ate everything plus she still had breakfast today.
Mom: Yeah, she had breakfast. Those. she clearly follows the advice of the doctors. Yes Malyak clearly follows the advice of doctors.
Not this stupid heat . Come on let's jump. And we will bypass on that side.
Good warm. And the fact is that at this time there is never a wind. Charm. Not even waves.
Good mam
Malyak you ask how much it costs. Five pounds.
Malyak says that there are different balls. Which is with the tongue and who cries and laughs. Malyak: I bought balls here.
The boys. What boys brought up. They say Salaam alaikum.
Malak: I would like to pat. Come pat.
Malyak go there.
small little
Pat? Malyak: Yes, beautiful puppy.
Malyak what stones? Malyak: Cute stones.
Divers do dive there.
Finished now let's go.
Well, all our walk is over. We got to the house.
On the way back I went and bought a pound of meat to make soup.
Here is the meat. Now I put stew.
Milk 1.5 liters. Because 1 liter is not enough.
Flakes. The flakes are also eaten very quickly. Especially these.
Eggs took. The only thing forgot to take vegetables. Doshirak.
And she took the curd. Cottage cheese is very useful. Calcium.
Malyak and Deni are studying with a math teacher.
Are you kidding with the teacher? Malyak: Yeah.

Stormy's Finally Learned What a Snake Avenatti Really Is, and She's Not Happy - Duration: 3:10.

What Lauren has told Unai Emery about Anthony Martial is huge - Duration: 2:31.
Lauren believes Arsenal would be crazy not to try and sign Anthony Martial in the summer, labelling the Manchester United forward "fantastic"
The France international's time at Old Trafford has been up and down this season after he initially struggled to get a game, and is now one of the first names on Jose Mourinho's teamsheet
The Red Devils will make tying the Frenchman down to a new deal a high priority in the summer, but his contract does expire at the end of this campaign, and there will be a number of clubs snooping around him
Lauren, who was an Arsenal Invincible in the 2003/04 season, believes his former side should be at the front of the chasing pack to try and secure Martial's signature
"If Martial doesn't renew his contract at Man United, Arsenal would be crazy not to try and snap him up," Lauren told Sporting Bet
"He's a fantastic player and is starting to show what he can really do when given a good run of games
"Martial won't go anywhere without being guaranteed first team football, which I think he would get at Arsenal
" Martial's relationship with Mourinho hasn't always been smooth, with the pair falling out in the summer during pre-season training
The Frenchman left United's US training camp for the birth of his second child back home, and Mourinho was annoyed he took extended leave to be with his son
Facing a fine from his manager, Martial eventually responded on social media, writing in French: "Thank you all for your messages
"My little Swan is well, it was more difficult for the mum but thanks to God she is better now
I'm sorry but my family will always come first."

What if I Was on the Job When an Auto Accident Occurred? | Garry Salomon, Esq. - Duration: 1:02.
What if I was on the job when an auto accident occurred?
Quite often, people are involved in car accidents when they are in the course of their employment.
They may be operating a car, they may be operating a truck, but the point is that they are working
at the time.
If they are involved in a car accident during the course of their employment, Workers' Compensation
will be paying their medical bills and also their income.
What is important to know is that Workers' Compensation has the right to recover those
monies at the end of the case if you bring it against someone else who caused the accident.
That type of case is called a Third Party Case.
Out of that case, not only will you get paid back the amount that you have to pay back
to your insurance carrier, your Workers' Comp carrier, but you will also be able to get
money for your pain, suffering, disability, disfigurement, and all of those other types
of damages in a normal lawsuit.
