The online Think Tank has spent considerable time figuring out ways to defend against Super storms, F-5 Tornados, and CAT V hurricanes. Human civilizations, just cannot take that level of pounding and since most everything is already built, there is not much we can do in the way of defending against a hurricane right?

The question is; can we defeat the hurricane or collapse the eye wall and raise the low pressure inside, thus destroying this demonic virtual heat engine? Well actually I have considered several models. One uses a submersible/floatable "ELF" Barge working with a Laser system, which towed by a nuclear submarine underwater and then is inflated and rises to the surface and shoots up and out and the laser across the tops of the wavelets, modifying the droplet size.

The hurricane then cannot block the trade winds or normal surface winds. For shoreline defense, it would rest on a rail underwater and would shoot at the waves preceding the hurricane, until the barge was at critical buoyancy due to waves and then lower until the eye came over and raise again. The system would simply be set underwater and wait until needed.

Sometimes there is sufficient economic interests that do well in human civilizations in rebuilding after disasters who may not be able to get in on the preventative technologies, but rather enjoy government re-building contracts, does that make sense. No judgment here of course, humans are humans, but realize that much of this technology while needed is not wanted. Smile, not good or bad, it just is the reality of things in the present period. May as well laugh at it all to prevent the tears? So, for that reason, we have not taken these concepts very far.

Actually, the device could be also used to create a "Wave Weapon" (which of course is of interest to many) by increasing Typhoons and storm surges or even creating them for offensive needs of the military or as a defensive system against hostile humans. It perhaps could also be designed to make a series of three similar systems, which could create "Rogue Waves" to sink ships or combat a storm. With a storm, although this adds power to the storm it would temporarily remove the storm surge and unravel the tightness of the hurricanes Eye, setting it into a transitional phase as lowering the category temporarily while the eye-wall forms.

Since Lasers could superheat the water with reflective sheeting or on the surface, it could be done from the air too via an Airborne Laser Aircraft;

A device could also be dropped into the eye and be self-powered to stay in the eye floating on the surface doing the same thing while spinning around bobbing up and down. There have been many ideas floated, such as polymer ball absorption, putting oil on the water to prevent evaporation, etc.

Knocking down a storm is not impossible, it is just the size of the response is a huge undertaking once the hurricane gets to strength, that is a lot of energy, but so are the trade winds and the volume they move too. Anyway, too many thoughts for such a simple article, but it might be worthy of consideration, deleting a hurricane makes sense, but an island city facing a Tsunami from a Mid atlantic Ridge Event or undersea slide, or large Earthquake, is a much different issue. You still can get your 30-foot high intrusion of the ocean and you cannot stop that, using anything similar in nature.

A large city with a shoreline like miami or Long island NY, well, you would of course wish to have barriers for that or a giant "V" shaped break water piece of land from the direction you expected the Tsunami and then figure out barriers for the flooding. But an island in the middle of the Pacific who knows where it could come from surrounded by the Ring of fire. In the atlantic, the Mid atlantic Ridge would be the most plausible thus, you could suspect where it would come from. Long island and atlantic Coastline is in jeopardy of course.

What if a nuclear power decided it was angry at the US for instance? And we do not guard those areas like we guard our own coastline, nor has anyone attempted to alleviate stress thru relieving geo-thermal heat or causing minor events to prevent a future major event. There have been Discovery channel stories on the problems. A series of "V" shaped barriers would work good and also provide sea life refuge and natural habitats for abundance and food supply. Well have fun with all these thoughts and let us know what you think.

There is probably no other game in the history of leisure that has inspired as much enthusiasm, commitment and addiction than the ancient game of golf, even though it requires huge areas of finely kept fields for its setting and takes up so much time and effort each time you play. So, around the world, people are playing golf in almost every country (I'm prepared to accept there is probably no golf course in the mountainous Pyrenees state of Andorra) and certainly in every time zone and climate. With this widespread popularity, it is no surprise that on the island of maui golf is readily available for all classes of players. In this article I will report on how good, or bad, the playing is there.

First up, there are many courses to choose from. It's almost like a golfer is spoiled for choice on maui. The island is a comfortable size -- it's not big -- yet there are around 20 golf courses to tee off from. Several of them are world class courses, like the Kapalua, home to the Mercedes championship. Along the coast there are around 10 courses that have won awards from industry critics, each of them rated 3.5 stars or better. And yet, even though they are played heavily, and golfers flock to maui, tee times appear to be available for the casual visitor. (If any golf visitor can be casual!)

A definite plus in Maui's favor is the setting. The views from the fairways of maui are breathtaking. Picture yourself looking down long lush green lawns and out over a deep blue Pacific ocean. The water and sky are deep blue. The sun beats down, and out across the bay, the thin white line of a distant reef marks the distant shore. Behind you rise the mountain slopes of Haleakal-a. No-one can fail to feel relaxed and inspired in surroundings like this.

The last decade or so has seen a marked increase in specialized golf vacations or holidays worldwide. This demand for travel which is centered around golf has led to the development of many luxury resorts which cater to golfers and feature integrated golf courses.

And so people do come for maui golf in fairly large numbers. The last 15 years or so has seen a jump in specialized golf vacations worldwide, and maui has received its share of this growing market. Courses are now catering for the golfer on vacation with luxurious course-side accommodation and with special features fitted into their fairways and greens.

maui golf is a mix of holiday and game, then. Without question, the courses are laid out in tropical setting that most of us from the mainland rarely get to walk through. So there is an enchanting quality about a game of golf in maui. But there are some very demanding, professional courses there, which will test your skill and extend your best game. I would recommend you get on the internet and do some research on a golfing holiday in maui, as the physical setting will certainly enchant you and the courses will lift you game.
