-Elon Musk chooses the area around Vigo as a location in Europe for his gigafactory, to make electric cars and batteries. Why do I think this is going to happen? Because Tesla mainly needs skilled labour. This can be obtained in Vigo. There are many students and graduates in Industrial Engineering, specialising in Electronics and Automation. The JAI are held in Vigo (Jornadas sobre Automatización Industrial, in Spanish; a symposium on industrial automation). Several years ago, they took place at one of the offices of the bank now called Abanca. Over three days, if I remember correctly, there were important speakers (some of them a little boring, others not) that talked about industrial robots, automata and everything related to industrial engineering. Many professionals from the sector, as well as students, attended. And that was despite the fact that collaborative robots and drones did not exist then (or the field was not so developed). There was a good atmosphere and reception. The mayor of the city, Abel Caballero, and PSA's CEO were also present. Currently, on the JAI's Facebook page, they share articles about Tesla Motors regularly.
Moreover, a Vigo resident has been the first to buy a Tesla Model X in Vigo, according to Faro de Vigo (Lighthouse of Vigo). This could be premonitory.
Also, the great article by an industrial engineer from Galicia, Eloy Coto Pereiro, about 8 reasons why Tesla should build the European gigafactory in Vigo and about "Galifornia" (the Galician California, because of its similarities) is an argument that can convince the South African, son of a model, and CEO of SolarCity, SpaceX and Tesla.
A curious anecdote that makes me smile about Elon Musk recently is that he is going to become a technological adviser to Donald Trump, almost as Leonardo da Vinci was an adviser to Caesar Borgia in his time. Of course, allowing for the differences. Caesar was the "devil" and Leonardo the "angel".

Prophecy failed on this occasion- The Golden State Warriors win the NBA championship ring. And the Los Angeles Clippers are going to be very close.
I think this is going to happen because this year there is a good atmosphere at the arena where the Warriors play, the Oracle Arena. This was also true the previous year, and they lost the finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers, as I predicted. But the difference is that now Stephen Curry has a good companion in the tall (2.06 m) player and killer Kevin Durant. In 2016 LeBron James dented Curry's morale when he blocked him several times with ease. Now with Durant on the court the King cannot abuse him.
The Los Angeles Clippers, with their CEO Steve Ballmer and coach Doc Rivers at the helm, are having a good season. They also had a good 2015/16 season, but they suffered some untimely injuries and were eliminated by the Portland Trail Blazers. With a little more experience and patience, Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan, Blake Griffin, J. J. Redick, Jamal Crawford, Paul Pierce and their teammates can compete for the NBA's championship ring. Now they know they have to be in shape and in a good mood at the important moments. But I think that they are going to have to wait until the 2019/20 season to lift the Larry O'Brien trophy.

Fake roster of Los Angeles Clippers.
Blake Griffin (32) says he is black, so the number 2 is mulatto at the very least.
