Today I have some good and bad news about The Clone Wars Season 7 and some speculation of the Disney+ Release Date.

FULL DISCLOSURE: what follows is pure speculation on my part and is not based on any inside knowledge that I have; it is purely educated guesswork. What I will think will happen at ILM/Lucasfilm Animation, specifically where Star Wars is concerned. - Lucasfilm Animation will be re-branded under the Walt Disney Animation banner, and subsequent seasons of The Clone Wars animated show will be produced in Singapore as they are presently. - The hush-hush fairies/rockabilly CG feature that Lucasfilm Animation have been on/off with over the past 6 years will either be shut down or get a quiet DVD release under the Walt Disney banner. - ILM will continue to serve external clients as they always have done, with an increasing reliance on satellite offices around the world in major production centres. - Star Wars VII visual effects will be centered in San Francisco with a small core team, with the majority of the work produced at ILM Singapore and by a network of tightly controlled 3rd-party vendors all over the world.
World wide economic crisis... Will speculation end up in the bin ?

This elevator was originally built by speculation that the CPR was to bring a sub from Stavely to Champion into the area, but that never happened so the elevator has since sat empty and neglected..

The murder of siblings Michael, Norah and Ellen Murphy near Gatton on Boxing Day 1898 sparked intense interest and speculation. All three were killed between 10pm and the early hours of the following morning on their way home from a dance that had been cancelled and the case remains unsolved to this day.
Contained within the QSA archived police files are pages of handwritten letters from across Queensland sent from members of the community convinced they could help solve the case using their spiritual gifts. Some are simply a few words on a scrap of paper, others take up many pages and go into lengthy detail about possible conspiracies. The police called the correspondence files ‘Astrologers, Dreamers, Theorists, etc’.
Despite numerous copies of "Holy Infants" only one held at Naples was announced to be made by Leonardo after painted anemones and ivys of a very good quality. However, we see the same elements in a background of this painting too. And the painting is ascribed to Marco d'Oggiono. Can we call every copy original just by the plants used in it? :D
This project is my speculation about presumable existence of parallel universes. The universe is infinite, but there is only limited amount of particles everything is made of. That means, that any combination of limited amount of participles will repeat again. Theory of hyperspace says, that our universe is just one small bubble in the foam full of bubbles.What if somewhere there, in the depth of infinite universe, exists exactly the same version of me?
Or you?
This is speculation - These triangulation points ( see also www.flickr.com/photos/27392491@N02/6111158309/in/photostr... ) may have been erected to measure movement of the cliffs ?
Europeans started to buy Riads in the Oudayas fortress in the 90s, for a handful of dirhams. Speculation played its role, and the prices raised sky-high.

"One Thousand Speculations," by Michel de Broin, is a giant, 1000-facet mirror ball. It's been erected in David Pecaut Square in Toronto as part of the Luminato festival.
"Hannah Courtoy (1784 - 26 January 1849), born Hannah Peters, was a London society woman who inherited a fortune from the merchant John Courtoy in 1815. Her distinctive Egyptian-style mausoleum in London's Brompton Cemetery has been the subject of considerable curiosity and speculation ever since a report by Reuters in 1998 repeated claims that it contained a working time machine.
"Hannah Courtoy was born Hannah Peters in 1784. She never married but had three daughters, Mary Ann (1801), Elizabeth (1804-1876), and Susannah (1807-1895). In 1830, Susannah married Septimus Holmes Godson, a barrister of Gray's Inn.
"In 1815, Courtoy inherited a fortune from the elderly merchant John Courtoy (born Nicholas Jacquinet in France, 1709) through a Will that was disputed in court.
"Courtoy's distinctive Egyptian-style mausoleum of 1854[9] in Brompton Cemetery, where her unmarried daughters Elizabeth and Mary Ann are also interred, has been the subject of considerable curiosity ever since a report by Reuters in 1998[10] reported on rumours that it might be or contain a working time machine, a speculation that has been fuelled by various articles written by the musician Stephen Coates of the band The Real Tuesday Weld."

"Brompton Cemetery is a London cemetery in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It is managed by The Royal Parks, and is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries. Established by Act of Parliament and erected in 1839, it opened in 1840 and was originally known as the West of London and Westminster Cemetery.
"Consecrated by Charles James Blomfield, the Bishop of London in June 1840, it is one of Britain's oldest and most distinguished garden cemeteries. Some 35,000 monuments, from simple headstones to substantial mausolea, mark the resting place of more than 205,000 burials. The site includes large plots for family mausolea, and common graves where coffins are piled deep into the earth, as well as a small columbarium. There is also a secluded Garden of Remembrance at the northern end, for cremated remains. It is also an urban haven for nature.
"By the early years of the 19th century, inner city burial grounds, mostly churchyards, had long been unable to cope with the number of burials and were seen as a hazard to health and an undignified way to treat the dead. In 1837 a decision was made to lay out a new burial ground in Brompton, London. The moving spirit behind the project was the engineer, Stephen Geary, and it was necessary to form a company in order to get parliamentary permission to raise capital for the purpose. Securing the land – some 40 acres – from local landowner, Lord Kensington and the Equitable Gas Light Company, as well as raising the money proved an extended challenge. The cemetery became one of seven large, new cemeteries founded by private companies in the mid-19th century (sometimes called the 'Magnificent Seven') forming a ring around the edge of London."

On Sunday I visited the Garden of Cosmic Speculation with friends. This is the personal garden of Charles Jencks, who has designed many structures such as Landform UEDA in front of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. The garden, which is near Dumfries, is only open for one day each year.
The Garden of Cosmic Speculation at Portrack House is open just one day a year. We went along, with what must have been half the county, to have a look

I actually think this is very cute. I just wonder how this came to be. Did this little guy insist on the purse? Is he aware that most of society regards this as a feminine icon? Or did his parents not know what they were giving him?
Having my own son around this same age, I am inclined to wonder what I would do in a similar situation. Yes, I believe in self-expression, but at what cost? Is my son is old enough to understand such concepts? I would support him if this was his informed decision that I know, but as a parent you also want to protect your child from unecessary pain.
So I've been hearing a lot of rumors about Hollyleaf lately...
That she isn't really dead for one. This one didn't surpise me, every time a character in a book dies the fans will create the most off the wall ways that the character might have survived. It's silly really.
However, there are persistant rumors circulating that not only did Hollyleaf survive the collapsing tunnels, but that she will come back in Omen of the Stars... as an antagonist.
Hollyleaf, or so the fans surmise, will turn evil.
Jennifer Lopez recently canceled her appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," sparking speculation among fans. The singer and actress was scheduled to appear on the show to promote her upcoming projects, but her team cited a "scheduling conflict" as the reason for her cancellation.
The exact reason for the cancellation is unknown, but some have speculated that it may be related to Lopez's recent personal life events. The star recently split from her fiancé, former baseball player Alex Rodriguez, and has been spending time with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony.
Despite the cancellation, Lopez remains busy with her various projects. She is set to star in the upcoming film "Shotgun Wedding" and is also working on new music. Fans can look forward to seeing her in the highly-anticipated "Super Bowl LVI" halftime show next year as well.
While fans may be disappointed about the canceled appearance, Lopez's team has not announced any plans to reschedule at this time.
