The Fourth Wall Game

In days gone by two years, we have witnessed, a variety of actions, and inter – relationships, far diverse from ever before, in recent memory! Whether the first is a strong supporter, agrees with, strongly disagrees, or opponent of President Trump, what we are observing, transcends politics! Rather, the possibility ramifications could be long – lasting, since they relate to certain essential aspects of the United States Constitution, such as Balance of Powers, as well as the basic principles of freedoms, justice, and liberty, for all, etc. Regardless of one’s political beliefs, etc, we have to all agree, what’s going on, these days, simply, isn’t NORMAL! With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, while using mnemonic approach, the lasting risks, and ramifications, to what we have always, proudly, considered, the American lifestyle.

1. Needs: Until days gone by couple of decades, politicians were able to pursue bipartisan solutions, and earn compromises, to get the necessary, meeting – of – the – minds, for the common good, specially when it located essential needs, goals, and standards of living. Although, often, far, from perfect, most would reach, throughout the aisle, when it found helping others, in need of assistance, especially because of emergencies, etc. One need only observe, President Donald Trump’s rhetoric and actions, after having a hurricane, about the devastation in Puerto Rico, as compared to areas, which supported him, politically, to understand, we are in abnormal times!

2. Options; objectives: This President’s rhetorical fixation on his slogan, of Make America Great Again, indicates, a sort of revisionist history, looking backward, with an over – hyped past, as an alternative to considering relevant, sustainable needs, and challenges, for that future! It seems his objectives, are, often, oriented, more, towards his personal/ political agenda, and self – interest, compared to common good. There has been little indication, he is willing to consider and evaluate numerous options, unless they support these!

3. Relevant; realistic; responsive: Times, and challenges, change, and, our greatest leaders, have realized, there was a need to evolve, and think, outside – the – box. Mr. Trump has gave the impression to avoid relevant solutions, and denied reality, when it served his purposes! We need a leader, that is responsive to our citizen’s needs, in a timely, responsive way!

4. Motivating: While self – serving actions may inspire, and motivate core supporters, we’d like a President, who seeks to become inspiring and motivating, by his positive rhetoric, and also actions!

5. Actions; attitude: In earlier times, our Presidents appeared to maintain a positive, can – do, attitude, in contrast to, the present occupant in the highest office, inside the land, who appears to be prefer, an oppositional, polarizing approach! Observe, the actions, rather than merely, the often – empty, rhetoric!

6. Listen; learn; leadership: Americans deserve an innovator, willing and able to effectively listen, and learn, as a way to proceed, using the utmost level of genuine empathy! That is the core of the items, has long been considered, American leadership!

Wake up, America, and realize, today, are extremely, not, NORMAL! Are you ready, willing, and able, to visualize your personal responsibility, by insisting, elected officials, represent you, instead of their personal/ political agenda, and self – interest?

When nobody listens currently where temperatures keep rising and tempers flare signifies that mankind is not any where near capable of healing the wounds inflicted by mortal men. Today, the world is ruled from the unquenchable thirst for power, control, and wealth by people who find themselves blinded by their particular greed. When on a single listens to reasoning or logic, when no person responds with compassion during times of crisis, and when no person who will make a difference in a lot of lives through acts of kindness, benevolence and humanity, will be the reality individuals times.

The constant evolving of technologies that could be used for the betterment of person still is to often delayed, cost prohibitive, hoarded, and otherwise employed for the destructive side of individual. The greed of some knows no bounds. Through-out history mankind may be both the beneficiaries of innovative technologies and have been casualties of how man has misused those technologies. Great inventions which have changed the form of the globe and other inventions which have been used not for your greater good of mankind but to inflame the world for selfish gain.

Someone once declared that everyone at some stage in their life has something so profound to express, write or create that might astound the world. Their ability to convey thoughts and expressions that might elevate all mankind to a higher plateau are very often not seen, read or heard. Fallen on the deaf ears and blind eyes of people who stand to loose their tight grip on the status-quo is really a lot the reality of today. Too often individuals are caught in the whirlwind of every day existence even though the power players purposely keep those who shown an expert to improve the status-quo from ever reaching people. And, people’s fixation that only those with wealth or in positions of power would be the only ones effective at such profound works will continue to prevent humanity from reaching that higher plateau.

Sadly, today the planet is being denied the instruments where our lives and livelihoods will be enriched. Purposely denied by way of a power elite that cares not for your public’s welfare. For years it has become their overwhelming need to reap more power, control and wealth containing scuttled any attempt by those persons who through their own volition created that something and when given the chance would benefit every one of mankind.

Today, so few are listening or seeing the ways by which humanity can rise to that particular higher plateau. This, whenever we have a media and lots of in government unwilling and incompetent at seeing just what certain people are trying to do. And, only if we had access or had the oppertunity to listen to those individuals who have created the means to enrich our way of life our world will be a much better place had we been able to do so.

As it stands today with the world filled with chaos too much in our attention is concentrated not on people who have that something essential and relevant but around the trivialities of meaningless legislation, aka the boarder wall or some other government policy that supercedes any endeavor that will allow more of people to be informed that there is indeed a better means for us all to succeed in that higher plateau.

The NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Association) experts have thrown “cold water” on hurricane control schemes. Including the schemes actually using cold water. This article will have a look at the “Proverbial Pipe Dream” of Hurricane Control and propose a practical solution. At present there many different various hurricane control proposals.

Hurricane control in the current context really methods to weaken the hurricane force winds. The destructive damage a hurricane inflicts is proportional to the square in the wind speed. Hurricanes are windstorms within the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific. In the Western North Pacific along with the Philippines the windstorms are called Typhoons. Cyclones are windstorms in the Indian and South Pacific Ocean. When the ocean temperature is about 80 degrees F (26 C) or maybe more a hurricane may appear. The hurricanes operate by drawing warm ocean air up from the eye with the hurricane. This is a convection process with hot air which is less dense rising. Current hurricane control methods try and disrupt this convection process.

First lets consider “cloud seeding”. Cloud seeding is performed to increase precipitation by introducing small particles of numerous chemicals in to the air from your ground or by air. These particles are introduced in the eyewall of the hurricane to disrupt the upward flow of moist air. Another method proposed is always to cool the waters of the ocean where hurricanes will probably develop with long vertical tubes. These wave actuated pumps brings warm surface water for the bottom and force cool water up. Again this would disrupt the convection process. Giant sized fans have even been proposed to blow the hurricane back into the Atlantic ocean. Animated “cartoon like” procedures, although well meaning, aren’t effective for the following reasons. The enormous size and power of an hurricane make these type of schemes unlikely to operate. Information from your NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meterological Laboratory gives some insight in to the power of a hurricane.

An example is Hurricane Andrew which hit South Florida in 1992. The area of destruction was 20 miles wide. The heat energy on this hurricane eye was “5000 times” heat and electricity generation in the Turkey Point nuclear power plant over which a persons vision past. The kinetic energy with the wind at any instant was similar to that released by way of a nuclear warhead. A realistic hurricane control system will have to be ready to enter into operation within one day. Only about 10% from the tropical systems that form grow into hurricanes. Trying to attack them early would be a wasted effort. The hurricane control system can be put into operation in the event the hurricane is at least a category 1 which is heading toward a populated area.

I am proposing a modification of the fairly popular and tested approach to decreasing a hurricanes destructive power. The method I am talking about is Space Solar Power. Solar panels in earth orbit can convert solar technology into a microwave beam. This microwave beam will then be directed at a hurricane eyewall to heat it and obstruct the hurricanes convection process. A government project called HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) has demonstrated that microwave energy might be directed at the ionosphere and also heat it.

Space solar power projects to manipulate hurricanes involve launching a satellite into orbit. Until this process is fully proven. A more economical approach is always to save the cost from the launch as well as the satellite and mount the microwave equipment on a ship. The microwave ionospheric heaters could possibly be powered by off the shelf electric car batteries and the ship could re-charge much more port. This ship could possibly be under the supervision of an state government and called into service through the governor of the potentially affected state. The ship could stay back from your hurricane eyewall and aim its microwave antennas with a 45 degree or lesser angle. This ship could be called into action within 4 hours notice. If this plan works another ship could be built and sold to a new state or foreign country to get a profit.

The climate of Kota Kinabalu (KK), a town in eastern Malaysia, is hot and humid throughout every season with plenty of rainfall recorded in every month of the year.

The following is really a brief sketch of the city’s temperature and rainfall.

Temperature:

As the town is located within the equatorial region, hence the temperature remains uniformly high all through the year with almost no change from month to month. The warmest month is May having an average temperature of 28.2 C (82.8 F) even though the coolest month is January by having an average temperature of 26.7 (80.1 F). Thus the temperature remains quite uniform because difference between the common temperatures of warmest and coolest month is only 1.5 C. This type of temperature pattern is usual of equatorial regions. The temperature is so uniform that even the record warm rarely exceeds 35 C (95 F ) in each month and the record low temperature rarely falls below 16 C ( 61 F). The average high and the common low temperatures remain around 31 C (87.8 F) and 23.5 C (74.3 F) respectively in each month of the year.

Rainfall:

As the city is located within the equatorial belt in order that it receives tremendous amount of rain throughout every season. Two prevailing monsoons characterize the climate on this part of Sabah include the Northeast Monsoon along with the Southwest Monsoon. The Northeast Monsoon occurs between November and March, as the Southwest Monsoon occurs between May and September. There are also two successive inter-monsoons from April to May and from September to October.

The total annual rainfall at KK is 2547 mm (100 inches). The wettest month is October with 345.8 mm ( 13.6 inches) of rainfall while the driest month is March with 50.5 mm (1.988 inches) of rainfall. The average amount of rainy days consist of 06 in March to 16 in October. Due to frequent rain, the normal relative humidity remains constantly high and remains around 80 percent throughout the year. The wind speed ranges from 5.six or seven.9 m/s throughout the Northeast Monsoon but is significantly lower to 0.3 to three.3 m/s throughout the Southwest Monsoon.

In short, the climate of Kota Kinabalu is warm, humid and rainy all through the year. The best time to see this city influences month of March if the rainfall amount is really a moderate one with 2 ” of rainfall recorded inside the whole month.
