Tee Off on a Floating Golf Course in the Maldives

Golf enthusiasts looking for a little sun and sea on the side will be in for a treat when the world's first floating course opens in the Maldives.

Located five minutes from the Maldives airport, the 18-hole golf course will include luxe accommodation overlooking the green fairways and surrounding beaches. Underwater glass tunnels will serve as linkages between the holes and various facilities, while allowing golfers a fish-eye’s view of the island nation’s glittering reefs. The artificial floating islands will also incorporate cutting-edge green technologies such as water cooling, water desalination and the use of floating solar blanket fields.
Developed by Dutch Docklands and designed through a collaboration between golf course developer Troon Golf and Waterstudio.NL, the zero-footprint solar-powered golf course will be one of the first floating developments of its kind, and is expected to bring in a wave of new tourists.

Instructions: First thing you need to do is to know the model number of the system you have installed in your car, for eg, NDCN W55 etc. (Model number is usually written at the bottom right of the unit). After that, download the file from mega

Assalam o alaikum, I just wanted to share a thought that has come to my mind regarding war in which nuclear weapons could be used. I might be wrong in my perception but I just thought to share it and get valued opinions of the members. Quran says: "Tayyar rakho apni taqat aur apni quwwat aur zara-e-jang ke sath, takey HAIBAT tari ho jaey unke dilon per jo dushman hen Allah ke aur tumharey dushman" I have highlighted the word 'Haibat'.

If we observe, this is exactly what has stopped India from attacking Pakistan on a number of occassions. E.g. After attac
