Game of Thrones season 7 has a mere two episodes remaining. While there have been plenty of revelations, leaks and rumors, there are so many questions we still don't have the answers to. There are the obvious ones, like who will sit on the Iron Throne at the end of S7, but others are a little more obscure. Is Littlefinger going to end up with Sansa? Will Jon Snow and Daenerys create a union of Ice and Fire? Can Brienne and Tormund ever make a go of it? Sure, we could wait to find out - but that's no fun. The latest episodes have given us some amazing revelations, but they still haven't answered some of the biggest fan theories. Admittedly, we could be waiting until season 8 for some of these but... they'll be well worth the wait.
We've gone way past the books now, so everything is up for grabs. That's why I've put together a list of some of the best, most likely theories we've got heading into season 7, along with a few bizarre ones. Because what would GoT fandom be without some insane yet oddly convincing fan theories?
Fair warning: there are tons of spoilers ahead if you're not up to date with Game of Thrones. Catch up with season 6 right here in the video above.
Got all that? Ok, let's move on to the theories.
1. Cersei becomes the Mad Queen
What it means: After Cersei went all 'girl on fire' against the Holy Sept and declared herself Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, I think next season she could turn into a metaphorical reincarnation of Aerys Targaryen, aka the Mad King. First of all, can I say "Yaaasss Mad Queen?" Second, if true, this could be a serious problem. It's no secret that Cersei isn't the most pragmatic ruler that Westeros has ever had, but her recent actions show she's only interested in doing what she wants, when she wants. In fact, one psychologist even "diagnosed" Cersei as a classic narcissist on Reddit (adding that he knows you can't diagnose fictional characters).
For the longest time, Cersei's only saving grace was her love for her children. Now that all of them are dead, she really doesn't have anyone to hold her accountable… except for Jaime, but we'll get to that in a bit. Cersei is alone, vindictive and sitting on the Iron Throne. She has enemies in all directions. She's losing her grip on power after the Loot Train battle, and even Jaime - her closest ally - is meeting Tyrion behind her back. Oh, and she's still got a ton of wildfire in the basement. Let's just say Cersei's reign of terror has only just begun. At least, until...
2. Jaime will kill Cersei
What this means: With the death of Tommen, Maggy the Frog's prediction that all of Cersei's children will die has come true. However, there's one more tidbit that concludes the childhood prophecy: Cersei will be killed by her "Valonqar," or little brother. A lot of people have taken that to mean Tyrion, who's already gained access to the Red Keep to meet with Jaime. However, he's not Cersei's only little brother. Jaime, Cersei's twin, was born a few minutes after her.
Jaime has seen Daenerys' dragons first-hand, he knows Cersei won't win in open battle, and he's clearly not happy with the direction the kingdom and his family are taking. Even though Jaime has said time and time again that Cersei is the most important thing in his life, he may be more sympathetic to Tyrion's pleas after discovering his little brother didn't murder Joffrey at the Purple Wedding. I mean... he did agree to a secret meeting without telling his sister. And, given his reputation as the Kingslayer, it would be heartbreakingly poetic justice to have Jaime kill the Mad Queen, too, if she pushes her rulership of King's Landing too far. Sure he's still standing by Cersei but... things change.

3. Tyrion Lannister is a Targaryen
What it means: Jon Snow isn't the only Targaryen around. Tyrion Lannister is also believed to be one of the prophesied heads of the dragon along with Dany and Jon. It comes from the theory that mad King Aerys Targaryen had an affair with Tywin Lannister's wife, Joanna, the mother of Tyrion, which might explain why Tywin hated him so much. And despite what happens in the books, the TV show is pointing in that direction, with Tywin saying you're no son of mine just before Tyrion shoots him with an arrow. Although this could just be part of Tywin's constant rejection of Tyrion's suitability as a Lannister, something that's alluded to again and again throughout the first four seasons.
We've also seen a strong connection develop between Tyrion and Dany, with her trusting him above almost anyone else. This is likely to be Tyrion showing loyalty to Dany (loyalty is a genuinely new thing for Tyrion, given his rather selfish nature) and vice versa, but some corners of the internet think it goes deeper than respect and friendship. So far season 7 has only shed light on Jon's lineage.
4. Jon Snow is Azor Ahai, or the Warrior of Light, or The Prince Who Was Promised
What it means: Now that we've gotten that pesky "R+L=J" theory out of the way, because it's totally canon now, we get to look further into what that means. The biggest is whether he is the Warrior of Light or Prince Who Was Promised. All signs point to yes. Melisandre's prophecy states that the Prince Who Was Promised will have the blood of the dragon and will be reborn in smoke and salt (in the books Jon's wounds smoke and his comrades cry salty tears all over him). Whenever she's looked into the fires for Azor, she's only seen things to do with snow, which can't be a coincidence. In addition, Jon picked his Night's Watch post over his lady love (Ygritte), which ties into the original Azor Ahai and Nissa Nissa prophecy.
Interestingly, a less popular fan theory suggests that Ser Davos could be the Prince Who Was Promised. He has been linked to Melisandre throughout the show, and was reborn in smoke and salt when he was pulled from the water during the Battle of the Blackwater. His presence could also explain why Melisandre assumed it was Stannis for five seasons, before he was killed by Brienne. Food for thought.
In season 7 episode 2 Melisandre suggests it could be Daenerys, as she speaks to her about the prophecy. The show makes a point of stating that the High Valyrian term for 'Prince' is non-gender specific, suggesting it could even be Dany herself.

5. Euron Greyjoy will control a dragon
What it means: Euron Greyjoy has already pledged his allegiance to Cersei by wrecking Daenerys' fleet, and bringing her Elaria Sand and Tyene as prisoners. Last we saw, they were dying in a prison cell, at different rates. However, that may not be the only trick Euron has up his very stylish sleeves.
In the books, Euron Greyjoy acquires a horn called Dragonbinder while searching the ruins of Old Valyria. He claims it can be used to control a dragon, but it hasn't been tested. We haven't seen Euron with Dragonbinder in the series so far, but he could definitely surprise Dany and her army. If someone used one of her own dragons against her it would be devastating for Dany. Unlikely, now, as Euron has already established himself as a powerful villain in his own right, and it seems the show is leaving it to Qyburn to deal with the impending dragon assault on King's Landing with his Scorpions, which we know work, thanks to Bronn's heroics at the Battle of the Loot Train.
6. Bran will bring the White Walkers to Westeros
What this means: Dammit Bran, you had one job! And that was not to bring the zombie army to Westeros. Well, in a way, that's everybody's job, but I think it's going to be Bran who ends up failing it. Not by breaking down the wall, but by taking away its magic. Remember in The Door how Bran was marked by the Night King, therefore allowing the White Walkers access beyond any magical barrier he hid behind? Well, there's a giant magical barrier between Bran and Westeros (The Wall), and sooner or later he's going to need to cross it.
Unless Bran comes up with a way to remove the brand, and it doesn't seem likely, he'd basically be leaving a "Please Come In" sign for the zombies after crossing. The White Walkers won't need to break down The Wall, because Bran's going to leave the door unlocked for them. Not cool, Bran. Not cool.

7. Bran is actually Bran The Builder
What it means: For those who don't know, Bran The Builder was the man who created Winterfell and raised The Wall over 8000 years before the events covered in Game of Thrones. There's belief that our Bran and the former Bran are one and the same person because of his ability to influence the past. We already know Bran can see into the past and future, and he can influence events and 'warg' into people. "Hold the door," anyone?
If he's aware of the White Walkers in the present day, maybe it's his responsibility to travel into the past and raise The Wall to keep them out. Also, in the books Old Nan mentions - on several occasions - that Bran's favourite stories are the ones about... yup, Bran The Builder. Is that an echo of the young Stark's future? Maybe. But hang on... if Bran builds the wall, but also gets marked by the Night King and allows the Whitewalkers to pass it... ? Does that mean he's wasted his time? Or does it mean he built the wall to hold the undead at bay until man is ready to deal with them? Hmmm...
8. Cleganebowl is still on!
What this means: That The Hound and his brother The Mountain will meet and fight to the death. At the end of season 4 it looked pretty bad for the Clegane brothers. Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane was beaten by Brienne and left to die by Arya, while Gregor 'The Mountain' Clegane was fatally poisoned by Prince Oberyn of Dorne. However, both of them survived and now they're on a collision course.
Cleganebowl is one of the biggest Game of Thrones theories, and it's still very possible that we'll see it. The Hound is currently teamed up with Beric Dondarrion and his Brotherhood Without Banners. They were originally sent by Robert Baratheon to kill Gregor Clegane (in the books). Wouldn't it be delicious if they finally fulfilled this mission in season 7, by taking down undead Gregor once and for all? The fans demand it, and the showrunners are listening.

9. Littlefinger will marry Cersei and become King of Westeros
What this means: Littlefinger has already laid out his long-term plan: he wants to sit on the Iron Throne as King of Westeros, with Sansa by his side as queen. However, Sansa's not super keen on the idea, so what's next for Littlefinger? If season 7 episode 5 taught us anything... it's that Baelish is up to something. A growing theory on Reddit says Littlefinger's going to leave Sansa at Winterfell and go running straight to the Mad Queen herself. Think about it: she's going to need a bigger army to hold off Dany and her dragons, and Littlefinger just happens to have a big army. If Sansa and Jon bully him too far, the Knights of the Vale could easily ride off and fight for the other side.
A marital partnership with Littlefinger would also give Cersei control of The Vale, which is a crucial area in the fight for the Seven Kingdoms. It would be interesting to see Littlefinger and Cersei team up. It would give Sansa and Jon Snow some serious competition for control of the North, and it would finally expose Littlefinger's true colors as a backstabbing monster man. Unfortunately for Littlefinger, it could push Jon Snow into an alliance of another kind, like…
10. The Wedding of Ice and Fire
What this means: Snow and Fire. Black and Blonde. Cute and Cuter. Yes, people have been shipping Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen since basically the beginning of the series, and for good reason. They're both attractive and awesome and cool and they'd make super cute babies. Overall, an alliance between these two is a smart idea. She's the Dragon Queen, and he's the newly crowned King of the North. No one would be able to stop them.
While I'm sure Jon eventually bending the knee would be enough, wouldn't it be so much cuter if he did so as a marriage proposal? Maybe that's what all the 'knee bending' chat is leading to - it would be a neat little moment! Sure, they might be related, but that's kind of been the Targaryen M.O. for a long time. In the end, these two need to team up, not only to stop Cersei and her reign of insanity, but also to put an end to the White Walker invasion that's coming, because winter and all that. Jon and Dany have already been together since season 7 episode 3, and there's clearly something between them, but now the northerner has headed up to the wall on a seemingly suicidal mission to capture a White Walker.

Ridealist seeking volunteer opportunities - update!
A few days ago Ridealist released a notice through various online media to announce our plan to donate US$1,000 toward the costs of producing a media package for a deserving non-profit or grassroots organisation.
Ridealist is a non-profit volunteer initiative that aims to tell compelling stories of people and organisations making a positive difference in their communities. We usually do this in our spare time, at weekends, evenings etc.
But this year we are donating our two-week annual summer vacation to work on a project(s) in any location outside Hong Kong where we can offer our unique skills to help raise the profile of a non-profit or grassroots organisation working with the environment, children, animals, the elderly, the disadvantaged - or any combination of the foregoing since they are often inextricably linked together.
We plan to spend up to two weeks with the selected NGO/NPO and aim to produce a short - perhaps two minute promotional / introduction video that can be embedded directly on the NGO/NPOs website front page. This can help "brand" your NGO/NPO and can be used for short presentations at fund raisers etc.
We will also produce a longer - up to 22 minutes - video documentary, looking at the NGO/NPO in more depth. Telling individual stories.
These stories can be shared with television stations/networks and non-profit video sharing websites such as DoGooder TV, About GoodnessTV etc.. gaining extensive exposure for the NGO/NPO.
We were very encouraged with the response.
We received queries from Uganda, Kenya, Cameroon, India, and China.
But there were a couple of questions that were common among many of the responses, and we'd like to try and clarify them here.
"How do we get involved?"
If you are connected to, or operate a charity, NPO or grassroots organisation that might benefit from having their activities documented for a promotional/fundraising/informational/training video, then put us contact and we'll see how things go!
"What can you do for us?"
Rather than asking us what we can do for you, tell us what you would like us to do for you. You now have a camera crew, what would you like us to create that will reflect your work and the benefits you are bringing to the community. What is your core message? What message to you want to send to potential donors, sponsors?
"Where will the funding come from?"
Ridealist normally works within a small geographic area. When we were based in Beijing we focused on local NGOs, and the same criteria applies now here in Hong Kong.
We are completely self funded, and our efforts are on a volunteer-no charge basis, so consquently we have to try and keep our costs to an absolute minimum. Therefore, the groups we have previously worked with usually have to be within a bus or subway ride, or short drive from our home base.
Of ourse there are other costs associated with producing quality video.
Since we began Ridealist we've had to replace one computer for video editing, our video camera, and one still camera. We've also covered the costs for various computer software to assist in editing and communications.
Without sponsorship, this can put a severe strain on resources, and we have to be sustainable too!
But having said all that, we are keen to expand our horizons and our geographical reach. Many of the Hong Kong or China groups that are seeking our help, we can do over a weekend or a couple of weekends.
This year we would like to take this opportunity to immerse ourselves in a story without distractions.
But this does lead us to the issue of costs.
The roundtrip airfare from Hong Kong to Entebbe in Uganda, for example, is US$1,200 for each of us, which to be frank, is beyond our means. For Nairobi in Kenya, our airfares would come to a combined US$2,200.
Our contribution of US$1,000 won't go very far with prices like this, and then there is accomodation, food etc. to take into consideration.
But with your help, we believe we can make this work.
The post-production (editing etc) will be done on our return to Hong Kong.
Please let us know if this is of interest to you, and if you have the capacity to help us with finding sponsorship.
Sincerely yours,
Chris & Shirley Gelken
For your information, here's what people have been saying about Ridealist:
"Ridealist developed a video for my charity organization, Hands On Hong Kong, in 2010. It is an excellent piece of work in terms of both quality and content. It accurately captures what our organization is all about -- something that is not easy to do in just a few minutes. I'm very appreciative of the work Ridealist has done for Hands On. It's incredibly valuable for us to have this video to share with the community, including our supporters, volunteers, and current and potential sponsors." March 1, 2011
Shaun Bernier, Hands on Hong Kong
"Chris Gelken and Shirley Han Gelken were instrumental in helping the International Center for Veterinary Services (ICVS) promote its non-profit animal welfare and shelter management programs in the PRC. Through Ridealist, Chris and Shirley created two pro-bono short films for ICVS to promote its free animal welfare and shelter management seminars and the ICVS/Columbia University Alumni Association animal welfare fundraising event in 2010. Ridealist provides a unique and essential service to bring awareness of the work of small start-up or non-profit organizations that would otherwise not have the funding to hire professional videographers and short-film producers of this caliber. It is without doubt that the short-films produced by Ridealist have helped to establish ICVS' animal welfare programs internationally and to enable us to give China a voice and to act as a bridge between China and the world in improving the health and welfare for both animals and humans.
Chris is a consummate professional and is also warm, caring and kind with a great sense of humor - a real pleasure to work with. Ridealist is a great gift that has been given to us to help change and impact the world for the better and has our highest recommendation." February 27, 2011
Mary Peng, ICVS Beijing
"We really enjoyed working with Chris and Shirley. They had only a few days to shoot but still managed to put together a great video for our organization." September 7, 2010
Judy Shen, CAI
"Chris produced a video for our Charity organization "Giving Hand" for no fee. Excellent job in very short time. This video promoted a Donating project for Levi Strauss, the charity in charge, Beijing Huayu Education Foundation and Giving Hand." April 20, 2010
Bobbi Fisher, Giving Hand, Chengdu

Heidenreichstein Castle
Heidenreichstein Castle lies, in a village with the same name, in the province of Lower Austria in Austria.
Heidenreichstein Castle claims to be the mightiest and best surviving water castle in Lower Austria.
The castle is entered through two gate buildings, each with its own drawbridge. The castle itself consists of a mighty, square keep which original entrance is situated at 14 meters height. West of the keep is a courtyard with industrial buildings. At its corners are several strong, circular towers. The castle was never taken or destroyed.
The castle is first mentioned in 1200 in connection with an Otto von Heidenreichstein. The keep probably dates back to 1190 and most of the other buildings to the 15th and 16th century.
From 1348 until 1641 the castle was owned by the powerful Puchheim family who also owned Grub Castle and nearby Litschau Castle. In the 15th century the castle was sieged in vain by an army of rebellious farmers and followers of Jan Hus.
From 1684 until 1947 the castle was owned by the family of Prince Pálffy and their heirs. At present the castle is owned by the Kinsky family, who still live in the castle.
The castle can be visited and there's a castle museum inside. Alas, everytime I visited it was closed. It's a nice castle with some peculiar shapes.

Ford, the world leading brand in cars and known for its stylish designs and the power with a gearing up speed which is extremely high is comes up to India with its new range of cars.
Here we are talking about the latest Ford Mustang car which is going to be enter in the Indian car markets soon and Ford had fixed up the price of the Mustang series to 65 lakh for the Indian car lovers and in the Indian car markets. 65 lakh is the starting price for the Mustang series. After five decades the production of Mustang had started its production and it is one of the muscular and iconic car which is from America and had made the new way to India.
And it includes the top spec 5.0l V8 variant in India and just set the price of 65 lakh especially for the Indian car markets, can you believe that! yes its just 65 lakh for the latest Ford Mustang. The price tag which had set to 65 lakh can bring for you the Audi TT, BMW Z4, and top of the line mid-sized German sedans or SUVs, but none of them can bring a 5.0L V8 for you.
We will not gonna debate here for the other cars. Here we are for the first ever time TVC of Ford Mustang which has been seen in India for the very first time. Ford Mustang which is the dream of everyone to took a drive and to have a convo with air. One of our team mate had a look to the Ford Mustang around the Auto Expo and had said that when he saw the Mustang for the very first time he is just had a mind blowing experience with the look of the car and especially the interiors are so pretty cool.
The one half had showed the 5.0 badging and when he had pointed out the glorious V8 engine and which is including an orgasmic exhaust note, which is very impressive and had attracted a large number of car lovers toward its performance as it can be go for so long.
The Ford Mustang is full of power and potential as when we comes to its tyres, and after having a great number of laps the tyres can be filled up with semi moist. And its the good news for the Indian car lovers and for the car dealers as well because it is one of the most amazing and a big brand in itself.

Haunted by his failure to stop a suicide bomber in London, Gabriel Allon is summoned to Washington and drawn into a confrontation with the new face of global terror. At the center of the threat is an American-born cleric in Yemen who was once a paid CIA asset.
Gabriel and his team devise a daring plan to destroy the network of death - from the inside - a gambit fraught with risk, both personal and professional. To succeed, Gabriel must reach into his violent past. A woman waits there, a reclusive heiress and art collector who can traverse the murky divide between Islam and the West. She is the daughter of an old enemy, and together they form an unlikely and dangerous bond.
Set against the disparate worlds of art and intelligence, Portrait of a Spy moves swiftly from the corridors of power in Washington to the glamorous auction houses of New York and London to the unforgiving landscape of the Saudi desert. Featuring a climax that will leave listeners haunted long after the final words, this deeply entertaining story is also a breathtaking portrait of courage in the face of unspeakable evil - and Daniel Silva's most extraordinary novel to date.

"as always great"
as always this is a fun read and entertaining. The Aon series is always great read. You can't go wrong on this one either
Tell us about yourself! I keep purchasing books on Kindle unlimited that are supposed to have audio, but can't ever get them to download.
"Still listening. So far great."
I listen to Daniel Silva any time I get a chance. I usually don't read them again very soon
because I already know the story line and probably won't read it again for a few years.

He is very detailed and I am not always familiar with the language parts. I have to pay attention to keep on track with what is going on and he names of the people involved
No, not that I recall
Not yet.
Not till I finish book.
"Boring story, poorly developed, unconvincing plot"
Best-the subject matter.
Worst-poor character and story development. Plot was unconvincing.
Gabriel Alon
Be more selective next time.
"Wonderful book. Great Author"
Looking at our Middle East problem & getting a better understanding of the problem from the point of Israel.
I enjoyed all of them. Great narration.
Yes, but if necessary, it's easy to get your heart back in it.
All of Daniel Silva's books are good.
"What is the Real Theme ???"
While this is another Gabriel Allon novel, it seemed to illustrate a few real issues/peeves of the author: treatment (bad) of women in the islamic world, dedication of the radical jihad adherents against western morals and views and spy trade craft...to name a few. I couldn't help drawing those conclusions even though the story was fictitious. Well researched, I'd say.
"I Wish I Could Be Gabriel Allon"
Big fan of Simon Vance, and enjoyed earlier Gabriel Allon stories, so I had to give this one a listen. While it's somewhat formulaic in its plot, the characters in this story are well-drawn, the politics are sufficiently nuanced, and the geographic detail realistic enough to allow even a cynic like me to suspend belief and just get caught up in the adventure and intrigue.
Highly enjoyable.
"Very Good listen"
I have read all the books in this series, this is the first time I listened to one. I enjoyed it as well. Gabriell is such a great character you just have to want everything to go well for him. I'm always rooting for him to find some peace and time to just paint, however, that wouldn't make for a good story so im happy he is always brought back to work.
"Narration Issues"
The narration is a bit odd ... the Israelis come across a bit like Transylvanians, like Count Dracula, especially Shamron and Allon.
But a great story!
"good thriller"
Silva does a good job of engaging the reader- and keeping them engaged
settings a bit familiar to other books of his.
"As always a great listen"
It ranks right up there with the best
The history that comes with it and the enterplay between the characters.
I am afraid I am not very good at remembering who the performers are. I did enjoy his performance!
History comes alive

FATHER'S DAY IS JUNE 17

\n
Dads of all ages love Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs spas. They trust the Jacuzzi® brand and recognize the value in owning a reliable outdoor hot tub with cool features. If you're lucky enough to be able to present a new Jacuzzi® hot tub as a gift on Father's Day, that's awesome! But if you're involved in the hot tub buying decision together, here are 3 suggestions for dad-friendly Jacuzzi® spas.

Locate a Dealer

1. The Jacuzzi® J-LXL™ saves more on operating costs than any other hot tub in its class (along with the J-LX™). And what dad doesn't like to save energy? My dad was always telling us to turn out the lights when we left a room. The J-LXL™ spa features sleek new styling, with a flattop edge and handsome cabinetry that fits into any landscape. And dad is going to love the lounge seat in this outdoor hot tub. He can lean back and enjoy a full-body hydro-massage from the Jacuzzi® jets.

Download a brochure

2. The J-365™ is a BIG hot tub that seats up to 7 adults. It's built for good times with family and friends, and it offers a luxuriously wide choice of seating and hydrotherapy options. The PowerPro® Therapy Seat could become dad's favorite; it massages the entire back, relieving stress and easing sore muscles.

3. The J-315™ spa works well for new dads, empty nesters or retirees. A compact outdoor hot tub like the J-315™ has the best of the big hot tubs in a spa that seats 2-3 adults. It's simple to maintain (important for busy new dads), and its lower height makes it easy for everyone, young or old, to enter and exit.

There are lots of other models to choose from in the Jacuzzi® Collections, each one as special as your dad. Encouraging him to relax in a Jacuzzi® outdoor hot tub says you care about him, even though he may suspect you have selfish motives for wanting a new hot tub in the backyard. Happy Father's Day!

LOS ANGELES – Clippers forward-center Marcus Camby knows first hand the shock of being blindsided by a trade from the Denver Nuggets.
Camby, who was the acknowledged team leader of the Nuggets, on the court and in the locker room for the previous six seasons, was traded to the Clippers this past summer in exchange for the Nuggets' choice to swap second-round draft picks with the Clippers in 2010.
The move strictly was a salary-cap purge by the Nuggets. Camby, the NBA's 2007 defensive player of the year, considered it insulting and still seethes at the mere mention of it.
So, Camby said he was not surprised at all by the trade Monday that sent future Hall of Fame guard Allen Iverson from Denver to the Detroit Pistons, in exchange for guard Chauncey Billups, forward Antonio McDyess and center Cheikh Samb.
"I think it's a win-win for both teams," Camby said. "I'm kind of surprised it happened but after what happened to me, nothing surprises me anymore up there in Denver."
It was yet another salary-cap move by the Nuggets, who not too long ago were bloated with an $88.5 million player payroll, well above the NBA's salary cap of $71.5 million. That would have resulted in a huge luxury tax hit for the organization, per guidelines in the league's collective bargaining agreement.
But Denver has made moves to reduce that payroll, including the indication that it is prepared to buy out the remaining two years of McDyess' contract. He has a guaranteed contract that will pay him $6,813,050 this season and the same amount in 2009-2010.
Iverson is in the last year of his contract, at $20,840,625. Billups has three years remaining on his deal but he will make nearly half of what Iverson is due this season at $11,050,000. Samb is being paid the minimum contract of $711,517 for a second-year player.
As he has settled in now in Los Angeles, Camby wishes not to dwell on past with the Nuggets.
"Honestly, we're 0-4 right now," Camby said, following the Clippers' latest loss to the Utah Jazz. "All my focus is on this Clippers' organization. I'm happy to be here. I think we've got a great coach and great teammates. Whatever happens (in Denver), happens. I've got enough on my plate right now."

Retirement benefits such as pensions and 401(k)'s are part of the marital estate unless the parties agree otherwise. Retirement benefits are a marital asset which is divided equally between the parties. Where one spouse has earned the pension or 401(k), the other spouse is awarded his or her marital portion of the asset, which is typically one/half of the amount which accrued from the date of marriage to the date of divorce. Generally, only benefits earned during the marriage will be awarded in a divorce, unless the non-earning spouse contributed to the acquisition of the benefits, or the award to the claimant spouse from the marital estate is insufficient to maintain them. In most cases, the pre-marital portion of a pension or 401(k) is deducted from the amount to be divided, prior to division.
For clarification, pensions are considered "defined benefit" plans, while 401(k)'s, 403(b)'s, and the like are "defined contribution" plans. All are part of the property division in a divorce judgment.

The Hummingbird Saga
(Poetic Porosity Through Brazilian Drylands as Seen by Guimarães Rosa)
Essay by Bernardo Marçolla, Brazil
Translated by Noga Sklar
Edited by Rachel Hildebrandt
Publishing date: summer 2018
Join the in-Krowd! To become a member of our Book Club and read this title before it's in stores, click here.
The Hummingbird Saga, a paraphrase to Guimarães Rosa himself, identifies, with unique propriety, this book by the Brazilian author Bernardo Marçolla, a result of his doctoral research that produced the thesis The Poetics of Riobaldo, a Porous Darning: Rhythm, Transcendence and Aesthetic Experience in Grande Sertão: Veredas. This thesis received the Capes Award, and was appointed as the best Brazilian literary thesis in the area of the Arts in 2007.
Accurately repositioned by the author in his research paper, whose ingenuity enables the reading of the Rosian original under a holistic key, Saga never loses sight of a close and sensitive analysis of the great Brazilian writer aesthetics. In fact, it adds to its brilliance, as it makes it more accessible, in order to be read with pleasure both by academics and the common reader.
Bernardo Marçolla holds a BA in psychology from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, Brazil (1997), a master's degree in psychology from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil (2000), a doctorate in literature by the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais, Brazil (2006) and post-doctorate in Literature from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil (2010). He has worked for more than ten years as a teacher in the Department of Psychology in PUC-Minas. His experience in Literature has an emphasis in the Brazilian iconic writer Guimarães Rosa and the development of the concept of "poetic porosity." His doctoral dissertation defended in 2006, which gave birth to this book, received the CAPES award for Best Thesis of the year in the area of Arts in 2007.

The art of caricature is enjoying a revival at the moment with many clients wanting a digital caricature artist at their events. Tools like the iPad Pro and Microsoft Surface allow artists to draw with ease on these devices and send the caricature wirelessly to a printer or direct to your phone. However, these new technologies do add a layer of complexity that you need to be aware of when making the decision to hire a digital caricature artist. Let's start with your expectations, You want a cartoonist that can draw funny caricatures and is reasonably quick and you want as many people as possible drawn within a window of time. If you are going to use a digital cartoonist, you need to also consider a few more aspects like a power supply for the printer and chargers, also a wireless network allowing you to email the images. I have seen one tablet device have trouble charging running out of power midway through a recent trade show forcing the purchase of a replacement device on the day. In a nutshell; ensure that all the elements work well prior to your event. My only other little red flag is the time it takes to print to a wireless printer, allow up to two more minutes per sketch for printing. On the upside, when it works – it works well. People love receiving their caricature as a print or as a soft copy. It allows them to instantly post it on social media and brag about your event. The use of logos and hashtags adds real value to each caricature when posted online. Templates are quickly created on the spot and the images can be projected or displayed on monitors while they are created allowing a larger audience to be entertained by the cartoonist.
Speaking as an artist: I can honestly say I draw much quicker on a tablet device, particularly the iPad Pro and Wacom, as I am not worried about making a mistake with the sketch. If I do misplace a line or two, I simply undo and keep sketching away. I am a big fan of digital caricatures and the new hardware used to create them, just make sure your cartoonist is up to speed on the tech side of things before you engage an artist. Thanks for reading – Brett Bower
Concept Sketches:
We work with media and event companies to produce concept sketches that clearly show the scope and creativity of a project. So far this year we have produced concepts for Samsung, Emirates and Microsoft and several others.

How to pick the right caricature artist for your next event.
I am sure you have seen the caricature artists stall at the your local show or fair. Have you ever noticed how they often seam to have the same examples of artwork on display and on the signage? Surely that guy who drew Mel Gibson and Marilyn Monroe can't be in all those places at the same time?
It's the same thing if you look on Google for an artist you'll see dozens of caricature artists in your city, sadly some display other peoples work. So what can you do to ensure you get the right artist for your event? I've outlined a few tips below that will help you ensure you get the right scribbler for your next event.
Call the artist, have a chat on the phone and make sure they have the experience and personality required to entertain at your event. You need an artist that can entertain not just draw. Ask for a recent testimonial. Ask up front to see actual samples or photos of the artists caricatures drawn at events. There is a big difference between what is drawn in a studio over an hour compared to a 5 – 10 minute caricature.
Appropriate caricatures – There are funny caricatures and there are inappropriate sketches. The artist should be professional enough to understand the audience. You don't want to offend your audience, so make sure you and the artist are on the same page.
How to calculate value – Most clients calculate value by asking how many caricatures an artist can draw in an hour? Can I suggest to you 8 – 10 mins per sketch is the magic number, any slower than that is too slow. I tell my clients that it also depends on the demand, I can do a great 5 minute sketch and a great 10 minute sketch if time allows. Either way there is no value in a caricature that doesn't look like the subject.
Another trap clients fall into is asking the artist to roam around the event and draw people, relocating around a crowded room takes up valuable time and is awkward once a function has started. The cartoonist needs to be seated and have a table to work on, especially if they are drawing for 3 + hours.
See the light – Make sure the venue has a well lit area for the cartoonist to work in, I have arrived at some functions that are so dark,
you can not see the person in front of you.
Branding – Your paying the bill, so use a pre printed template with the logo on the paper, better still incorporate the service or product into the caricatures. I appeared at a Volkswagen function recently where I drew caricatures of people in Volkswagen cars. The client and the guests loved it!
Going digital – Many of my clients ask me to do digital caricatures. This is wear the caricatures are drawn on a tablet and printed on photo paper. Digital caricatures are impressive for a few reasons, firstly you can stream the action to a plasma TV or projector for a larger audience to view, making it perfect for a trade show situation. You can receive the caricature directly on your mobile device ready to upload to Facebook. Digital is all the rage, but you will need to ensure there is an available WIFI network. Another benefit is you can print the caricatures on objects like mugs and shirts after the event.
No School Like Old School – At the end of the day I love seeing ink sketches on paper. They have a certain authenticity that digital art sometimes lacks. It's always great to see somebody create a fun caricature live in front of you.
EY – Asia Pacific Animation
EY Needed to create an engaging animation that could clearly delivery a message across a number of markets in south east Asia. Working closely with our client, we developed a cast of emotive animated characters. Their adventure was played out in a cartoon world somewhere between Charlie Brown and Dr Seuss and using an imaginary language and cool trucks. It was a great project that allowed us to be more creative than usual. Did I mention the cool trucks?
YCMA NSW got in touch and they wanted a video that wasn't just another talking head comms piece. They wanted a fun, less formal way of communicating with their staff and volunteers around the state. The solution was a whiteboard style video, we recorded the VO in their Sydney offices and were able to shoot and edit the video with in three days of the initial phone call.
RIO TINTO – Pilbara WA
When senior leaders of Rio Tinto decided to meet at Cape Lambert WA, they needed a conference scribe to capture the concepts presented at this high level meeting. As the event was held at a remote location, I took enough equipment that allowed me to work digitally or simply with markers and flip charts. It was a hectic pace keeping up with the presentations over the two days. At the end of each day, I presented a graphic compile that reflected each presentation. The added bonus for the Rio Tinto events team, is all the cool digital clip art they now have use post the event.
Bunch Media / Carlton United Brewery – FIJI
My friends couldn't believe I was going to Fiji with Carlton United for a conference. It sounded too good to be true….
The challenge was the stand out from the crowed at this industry event.
The sollution was to create a completely white and unbranded trade-show stand in a sea of highly polished exhibitions stands. Then find a local Fijian artist and pitch his talents against against my own. We were given half of the stand each and three hours to create a mural that reflected the specific products such as 'Pure Blonde' and 'Great Northern'.
The stand was swamped with onlookers keen to watch this artistic battle of the artists. At the end of the day we agreed it was to close to call a winner, so we enjoyed a beer and reflected on all the cool art with the CUB team.
Ernst and Young – 3 Minute Engagement's Animation
This was a second major project for EY this year. As usual we had a very tight deadline to create a three minute animated cartoon that would be rolled out across a number of countries across the Asia Pacific region.
The solution was to create a lead character that didn't speak at all, but conveyed his ideas through emotion, expression and carefully crafted graphics. The cast included characters of various age and nationality. The project also allowed us to create some fantastic Dr. Seuss style machines that helped the cast achieve their goals.

There are no real or quick solutions here, one might be to create a wrapper library that wraps the system calls that open files in to gnome-vfs calls. There are solutions like this that address ALSA vs. OSS issues or the tool we all love so much: fakeroot. Other idea might be to create a wrapper inside gnome-vfs (not nautilus as that would solve the problem in just one app) that copies the file to local temporary location and would then maintain status for that file copying the changes back if the file changes. Neither of these is a real solution to the problem. And the latter might even prove to be destructive (if the file is changed on the network, or if the file is locked on the network). - S

Product QuestionsHi:
I notice on this model that the main photo appears to have a black anodized OAG with the guiding camera attached. This OAG is quite different in shape and gen'l appearance than the blue inset photo labeled as the 'Atik OAG'. Which one comes with this item?
Thank You.Question by: Pat-707 on Aug 11, 2015 9:55:00 AMThis comes with the special low profile Atik One OAG shown in the main picture. The bolt pattern and size of the off-axis shaft are very different from the larger standard OAG for the larger USB filter wheel for the Atik 3 and 4 series cameras.Answer by: Chris Hendren (Admin) on Aug 11, 2015 11:47:00 AM

The man to beat in Australian Porsche racing at the moment continued his run of success despite the wet and cool conditions of Winton Raceway in Northern Victoria.
In race one of round six of the Australian Carrera Cup, series leader Alex Davison (Greg Murphy Racing / Glenfords Discount Tool Centres) withstood constant pressure from current champion Jim Richards (Jim Richards Racing / OAMPS Insurance Brokers) to win the 12-lap encounter.
On a wet and slippery track, Davison handled the conditions with aplomb to take the early stakes from Richards with team mate Fabian Coulthard (Greg Murphy Racing / Team Braun) weathering the rain to place third, in the familiar Australian Carrera Cup trifecta.
Kiwi gun Matt Halliday (International Motorsport NZ / Lakesawn Lumber), having his first outing in the Carrera Cup since the Foster's Australian Grand Prix, was running third until lap six when he spun at the final turn following a racing incident with Coulthard.
Halliday managed to return to the track without losing any more places and maintained his fourth position through to the checkered flag.
The top four placegetters are all driving in the V8 Supercar endurance races at Sandown and Bathurst later in the season, showcasing the talent and experience in the Australian Carrera Cup.
Another proven wet weather driver Charlie O'Brien (Charlie O'Brien Racing / Wright Patton Shakespeare) did not take long to find his form in his Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car, with today's Winton race being his first in the Carrera Cup since the Grand Prix in March.
O'Brien finished fifth after a great battle with another seasoned campaigner in Peter Fitzgerald (Fitzgerald Racing / Abcor, Acer) over the entire 12 laps.
In a tussle between more of the Carrera Cup young guns, Klark Quinn (Team VIP Petfoods) held out Jonathon Webb (Tekno Autosports) for eighth. While Stephen Borness (Celerity Racing / Logiadd) and Peter Hill (Greg Murphy Racing / Team Braun) rounded out the top ten in today's race one.
Round six of the 2004 Australian Carrera Cup at Winton Raceway culminates with race two and three over 12 laps tomorrow.
An interested spectator in the Carrera Cup Paddock today was Porsche campaigner Matt Coleman, who has not competed since his large wall shunt at the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide in March. The 31-year-old indicated that he was on track to resume at the next round at Sandown -- venue for his major crash last year.
The Carrera Cup is the most successful 'one make' championship in the world with close-to-identical Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars built by Porsche' racing arm in Weissach, Germany set for racing in 2004. All cars have a top speed in excess of 300 kilometres per hour with a 400-horsepower, 6 cylinder Boxer engine which revs to 8000 RPM.
'Trackside' on Network Ten will telecast round five of the Carrera Cup on Sunday August 1 at 2pm (check local guides).

The Challenges of Going Green
Posted on 28 June 2016
Green is not an easy color to pull off, especially for consumers. There is now a sense of pride in having bagged a bargain on a designer look-alike found amidst fast fashion. We want to fulfill our catwalk dreams while feeling like we got one over on the designer brands.
Fast fashion boils down to temptation and instant gratification. Unfortunately, cheap chic is in vogue. In a way, this is the democratization of fashion. What was earlier the privilege reserved for the elite few is now an everyday reality, although in poor quality fabrics.
However, we should keep in mind that not all consumers are alike. For the conscious consumers, the marketplace is a minefield filled with guilt traps. It is extremely important to read between the lines. For example, consider a dress made with Fairtrade Cotton. This only guarantees that the farmers who grew the cotton were rightfully paid. What if this cotton was grown using pesticides? Moreover, what if children in a sweatshop sowed this dress?
The challenge in the fashion industry remains to morph high principles with high fashion, till we can't have one without the other.
We must put more thought into what we buy and ask the difficult questions. Making the ask has led big brands like H&M and Dorothy Perkins to launch an organic range. It's simply our shopping habits that can affect change, and therefore it is essential that we encourage thoughtful clothing.

Lasers And Glowing Dye Illuminate Ocean Processes
John Dabiri, bioengineer at Caltech, has developed new techniques for studying the motion of aquatic animals. In a recent study in the journal Nature, Dabiri and colleagues explain how swimming animals contribute to ocean mixing — the process that distributes heat, nutrients and gasses throughout the sea.
IRA FLATOW, host:
I'm Ira Flatow. This is SCIENCE FRIDAY from NPR News. Joining us now is Flora Lichtman.
FLORA LICHTMAN: Hi, Ira.
FLATOW: …Video Pick Of The Week today. What have we got this week?
LICHTMAN: So this week we have a video that features a researcher, John Dabiri at Caltech, who kind of specializes in making invisible processes visible, especially under the sea. So his - he studies jellyfish.
FLATOW: Jellyfish? Woo, don't get stuck.
LICHTMAN: Yeah, right.
(Soundbite of laughter)
LICHTMAN: It sounds simple, right?
FLATOW: Right.
LICHTMAN: They kind of float along. But it turns out that their motion is sort of more complex than that. And he's figured this out using these kind of unbelievable sci-fi techniques.
(Soundbite of whistling)
FLATOW: And you contacted him. And he gave - donated some of his film for us, right?
LICHTMAN: Right. And I think the neatest one, he has these two techniques and one is spraying jellyfish with fluorescent dye.
FLATOW: Ooh.
LICHTMAN: And when you do that you can see the movement of water behind the jellyfish, it's lit up. So you can sort of see that the movement of the jellyfish is more complicated than maybe…
FLATOW: Mm-hmm.
LICHTMAN: …well, than I thought.
FLATOW: Mm-hmm.
(Soundbite of laughter)
FLATOW: And if you want to see these videos, you can go to our Web site at sciencefriday.com where our video's up there on the left side, Video Pick Of The Week. And in these videos, it was surprising what you saw and how they - you always see this pulsating jellyfish, right?
LICHTMAN: Right. And they push up - the kind of neat thing is that they, when they're moving, they're making these doughnuts structures behind them, these sort of swirling vortexes.
FLATOW: Right.
LICHTMAN: And then they push off of those doughnuts and they sort of get more push.
(Soundbite of mooing)
FLATOW: Ahh…
LICHTMAN: So they create this environment around them that they can propel themselves off of.
FLATOW: And you can only see that by putting the dye in the water.
LICHTMAN: The dye and there's also a laser. I mean, I feel like, there's…
FLATOW: You got to see.
LICHTMAN: You have to see it to believe it, really.
FLATOW: Friday night.
(Soundbite of laughter)
FLATOW: And you can see - it's great because of - you can see how far behind, right? And how far they push back with the water?
LICHTMAN: Right. So their recent study was that how this motion of aquatic animals actually affects the marine environment. And what they found out was that - animals play a sort of significant role in mixing up the ocean water. And that's important for carrying nutrients from the…
FLATOW: Yes.
LICHTMAN: …bottom to the top…
FLATOW: Yeah.
LICHTMAN: …and distributing heat. So, you know, it's not just doughnuts find the jellyfish.
FLATOW: Right. And it's not - it's also solving the mystery of how motility - is that's the right word, happens in water. Maybe other fish swim different ways, if he puts dye on the other fish, we see something else?
LICHTMAN: I think he's working on squid. So we should stay tuned and see if we can check back in.
FLATOW: Squid?
LICHTMAN: Yeah.
FLATOW: Wow.
(Soundbite of laughter)
FLATOW: It's just not food for other fish.
LICHTMAN: Okay. Why not?
(Soundbite of laughter)
FLATOW: All right, that's great. It's Flora's SCIENCE FRIDAY Pick Of The Week. It's - you go to sciencefriday.com on our Web site. Well, video there of the - what do we call the fluorescent jelly? What's our name for this one?
LICHTMAN: This one I think is using fluorescent dye and lasers…
FLATOW: Ooh.
LICHTMAN: …to illuminate…
FLATOW: …It's…
LICHTMAN: …ocean processes.
FLATOW: Turn the lights off when you watch this one.
LICHTMAN: Yeah.
FLATOW: Nice and spooky. Thank you, Flora.
LICHTMAN: Thanks.
FLATOW: That's about all the time we have for today. I'm Ira Flatow in New York.
