Solar Yacht Sails Around the World Powered by Nothing More than the Sun
2012-01-25 17:25:00 The World Future Energy Summit has recently finished in Abu Dhabi and for me one of the highlights was the Turanor, an impressive solar powered yacht designed and built by Planet Solar. It is the largest boat of its kind to ever sail and the first to ever circumnavigate the globe powered entirely by the sun. It steadily cruises at an average speed of five knots, but is capable of reaching more than double that on clear, calm, sunny days. The project was conceived by Raphaël Domjan of Switzerland as a method of demonstrating the possibilities that current solar technology holds for clean transportation. The yacht carries a huge rack of Lithium-Ion batteries capable of storing up to three . . . → Read More: Solar Yacht Sails Around the World Powered by Nothing More than the Sun

Central Banks Around the World Step In
2011-12-01 19:30:00 If you have an incurable disease, your only option may be to treat the symptoms and hope for the best. This seems to be the strategy underlying today’s coordinated central bank action. The U.S. Federal Reserve and five other central banks reduced their already-low overnight dollar swap rates to a near-microscopic level. The main beneficiaries are foreign banks, which have a new and cheaper source of short-term liquidity. A side effect is that the Fed is now lending dollars to non-U.S. banks at a lower rate than it makes cash available to domestic banks. This oddity will likely be resolved with a lower Discount Rate, probably within days. Such decisions are not made in a vacuum; recall what happened . . . → Read More: Central Banks Around the World Step In

You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found? J. B.

Extreme Golf Experiences Around the World
2009-10-13 23:52:00 As the PGA Tour season comes to a close and enters "silly season", it is up to amateur golfers to decide whether or not to stash their golf clubs in a corner of the garage or to embark upon an extreme experience to an exotic locale. The serious player never wants the season to end! From "ice golf" in Greenland to playing "sand" golf in Dubai, experiences that challenge the senses as well as your ability are worthy of the trek, and the "fun factor" of being on unfamiliar territory will surely be a memorable experience. Grab a flourescent ball for this golf course: Although temperatures rarely climb above -13 degrees celsius and with a wind chill factor that sometimes makes it feel as if it is -50 degrees in the sun, (did I just say negative 50?)
