If you gander at a satellite image of Morocco you will see several submerged islands south of the Guanches Islands.
I believe that these are dormant volcanoes (just like the Guanches Islands). They vary in depth but typically the shallow ones are <1km below the service. Apparently they are not on the Continental shelf but I am not sure of this.
My question is - can land reclamation ever be done on these islands? They are in very desirable waters for fishing rights and military strategy and Spain does want to steal more territorial water in this area. There have been a number of Spanish "research" vessels seen doing sonar activities around these islands and now there are rumours flying everywhere.
I am no engineer but I am familiar with the reclamation of the Sparaty Islands, in Monaco, Singapore, Mumbai and Dubai just because the economic side of things are relevant to my profession. I cannot see those islands above being reclaimed, however, due to them being far in the Atlantic ocean. What is the science behind my presumption? Can they be reclaimed (ignore the practicality of current cost) either now or with the anticipated technological advances in the next 100 years?

What repercussions will there be for Westeros if House Stark reclaim the North with the help of Stannis Baratheon and Rickon is found and restored as Lord of Winterfell under the charge of Stannis. How far would news like that travel especially for certain characters like Brynden Tully who was devoted to Robb Stark, would he then travel North to Winterfell to see if the North will come down on House Frey for total Vengeance for the Red Wedding.
I wanted to discuss this Region by Region starting with The Vale, the most prominent character there is obviously Sansa Stark. And with her being at court, news will travel quick and be discussed at length especially with most people believing House Stark were dead due to Bran and Rickon being believed dead and no news on Arya/Sansa. Even though she is trying to achieve Little Fingers goal in marrying Harry the Heir would she not want to return home to the safety of Wintefell if the Bolton are extinct and all potential allies of the Boltons being put into place. I could see Lord Royce wanting to make an alliance with the North and trying to push it due to his distant relations with House Stark and not helping them in the first place against the Lannisters.
The Riverlands, will Lady Stoneheart hear about House Stark being restored to the Northern Kingdom and will she travel North to see who is in charge there. Also The Freys will probably be very fearful that a United North with Stannis will come down and take the twins with full force in revenge for the Red Wedding and other Riverlands Houses now fully Uniting to take the Freys down. They will have enemies everywhere with not even the Lannisters not being able to help them. Where ever The Blackfish went after escaping Riverrun if he hears that House Stark has retaken the North I can't see him not going to his kin in trying to persuade them to destroy House Frey for what they have done in orchestrating the biggest betrayal Westeros has seen a long time.
The Reach, with what is going on with House Tyrell I can't see such a fuss especially with Faegon taking the Stormlands and them still in alliance with House Lannister at this point although they will probably be plotting other potential alliances in case King's Landing is taken.
The Crownlands, I can see Cersei finding out about what has happened in the North and being furious and still wanting revenge for what happened to Joffrey but unable to do anything due to the chaos that is starting to emerge around them.

He was laughing, making jokes, talking about his family, his process for customizing vehicles, early days of Metallica and his creative car hobby. Highly recommend going to the Petersen in you're in the LA area. His 10 cars will be on exhibit through November 1, 2020.

I was diagnosed with lymphoma a few months back. My hair started falling out pretty soon after I started my chemo treatments.
On the night I finally caved in, I couldn’t stop crying as my boyfriend shaved my head.
I’ve hid my baldness with several different kinds of hats, and I even got a cheap wig so that I could once again feel what it was like to tuck some hair behind my ears.
I couldn’t let myself accept what was happening to my appearance. I had already had such a hard, hard time growing up. My self esteem was nonexistent. I constantly slathered my face with pounds of makeup and straightened my hair so I could feel like I belonged with my friends. I wasn’t wearing makeup as a form of art, but as a mask to hide behind.
It took me a while, but I finally decided that stop doing that. To love myself for what I looked like. I stopped wearing makeup. I started letting my hair do what it wanted and styling it so that it complimented its unruliness.
And I was so proud of myself. I loved myself for myself, not for what I looked like.
And then cancer rolled right in and ripped up all the delicate roots I had been so lovingly tending. Everything was ruined. I looked like an egg. An alien. Everything I had worked so hard for was destroyed.
I have never felt more ugly in my entire life.
But tonight, as I laid in bed after a long day of chemo round number six, I finally decided that enough was enough. I am halfway through my treatment. I have another six rounds to go. And if I continued to let myself think this way about my appearance, then I was never going to grow and learn from this experience.
Chemotherapy is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. It’s taken everything from me. But I’m no longer going to allow that happen. I’m going to reclaim all I can, starting with my sense of beauty. I am no longer going to hide behind my hats. I’m going to walk outside tomorrow morning with confidence, knowing full well that I am beautiful.
And I’ll be damned if I ever let anything or anyone take that away from me again.
