Redundant cooling...why not use wind turbines at nuclear plants

Madlyn FafardDave DeCenzo


Dave, what do you think about this....would it make sense to plan to close down any of the plants immediately that are on faults, and to build new ones that are the pebble type, not able to have a melt down....this would seem intelligent, with a long term plan of phasing out the old plants that pose such danger to the public. Can we afford this type of a catastrophe, this loss of life and contamination? We need leadership , we can not allow this type of danger to exist when we have new technology, my mind tells me...what say you?

Certainly, site plans could be done ahead of then and any enviro permits ap...plied for and so on for other sites. Existing plants on fault lines will not necessarily see a tsunami, but re-evaluation of cool-down redundancies after emergency shutdown is warranted. I would rather see the worst coal plants taken off line before the nukes if the nuke re-evaluations determine there are sufficiently low risks. Imagine how this would have played out if the Japan plants had had 3 or 4 WindTurbines of size 3MW sitting there as redundancy for the diesel generators and batteries. I have not seen a weather report yet where the wind stopped over there.

Buckminster Fuller,

R. Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller




Bucky Fuller (July 12, 1895 – July 1, 1983) was an engineer, author, designer, inventor, and futurist. He published more than 30 books, inventing and popularizing terms such as "Spaceship Earth" and synergetics. He is best known for his invention of the geodesic dome. Carbon molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their resemblance to "Bucky's" geodesic spheres.



New Dimensions had the enormous privilege to sit down with Bucky on many occasions. We've recently digitized several of those programs. Bucky had a way of answering an inquiry in detail. His mind was so encompassing, he never talked in the kind of sound-bytes, which we've been so accustomed to hearing on the media. He takes us on a whirlwind tour of history, as he connects the dots of unfolding humanity. So, enjoy the ride with R. Buckminster Fuller.



The following programs can be downloaded as audio or transcript. Or, you may want both. There is something powerful in the transmission of his own voice, but you may want to follow along with the transcript, because he talks very fast, and his language patterns are very precise, but not what we are used to hearing.

IS THERE ENOUGH TO GO AROUND? with BUCKMINSTER FULLER

Program #1570 - Buy Now $1.99 - MP3 Download or Transcript



Topics explorered in this dialogue include:



What was the highly developed geometry of the Babylonians

Why there are sixty minutes in an hour

Why churches fought progressive cosmology

How geometry as taught today still reinforces the "flat Earth" concept

What was the fundamental beliefs behind the rise of Marxism

How invisible realities have changed our world

What is the humanitarian potential of technology and industry

Why "we can no longer rationalize selfishness"

How invisible realities are changing the dynamics of history

What outer-space exploration taught us about human needs

What "the little individual" can do to help humanity and the planet

One of the most comprehensive and imaginative thinkers of our time is captured in essence here, as he gives an extraordinary overview of the state of the planet and human history. Asked whether there are enough resources to support our growing population, the late Buckminster Fuller, age 85 when this was recorded, responds with a tour-de-force capsule history of Western civilization—a refutation of the economics of scarcity first propounded by Thomas Malthus. His answer, spanning politics, religion, geodesic domes, the arms race and more, tickles and challenges our thinking about every topic in his path, as he describes the advent of a new world where selfishness is no longer necessary. Says Fuller, "We are on the threshold of a new wave."



He is the author of many books including Utopia or Oblivion (Bantam 1971) and Critical Path (St. Martin's 1981). To learn more about the work of R. Buckminster Fuller go to www.bfi.org

AROUND THE UNIVERSE with R. BUCKMINSTER FULLER





R. Buckminster Fuller has been called, "the Leonardo da Vinci of our time." In this two-part conversation, the visionary inventor, philosopher and humanitarian gives his extraordinarily insightful picture of where the human race is now, and how to proceed from here. He describes "cosmic cost accounting," being a "comprehensivist" instead of a specialist, doing more with less, experiential knowing, and the ultimate challenge to the future of humanity. In his autobiographical book Critical Path (St. Martin's Press 1981), Bucky sums up a lifetime of deep thought and concern for the planet and humankind. This two-part conversation is the "summing up of the summing up."

Wonderful book for good young readers

East of the Sun, West of the Moon (Usborne Young Reading: Series 2)

A World Lit Only by Fire, William Manchester

This book is a favorite of mine.  I recall it frequently and now, it seems most appropriate to read it again.  Doesn't this review by Amazon remind you of the times we are now living in?  Would you guess that history repeats itself?  This week, I saw posts on Facebook by passionate people saying, TAKE MY SIDE!  You know that they are not wise in the ways of the world, when they blare out TAKE MY SIDE, they  know nothing of what they boldly want to allocate,  the waste of government funds, and other maneuvers that swallow up our money, the life blood of our industrious wonderful society, yet here they are pronouncing with passion, "Follow me, I know best!" Hopefully, we will grow more thinkers who will refrain from the positions of lambs following the pied piper.  What a wonderful read !

Amazon.com Review

It speaks to the failure of medieval Europe, writes popular historian William Manchester, that "in the year 1500, after a thousand years of neglect, the roads built by the Romans were still the best on the continent." European powers were so absorbed in destroying each other and in suppressing peasant revolts and religious reform that they never quite got around to realizing the possibilities of contemporary innovations in public health, civil engineering, and other peaceful pursuits. Instead, they waged war in faraway lands, created and lost fortunes, and squandered millions of lives. For all the wastefulness of medieval societies, however, Manchester notes, the era created the foundation for the extraordinary creative explosion of the Renaissance. Drawing on a cast of characters numbering in the hundreds, Manchester does a solid job of reconstructing the medieval world, although some scholars may disagree with his interpretations.

Engelbert Humperdinck - This Moment in Time

A favorite from the late 70's?

The Black Swan, Nassim Nicholas Taleb

I have been reading this book along with a couple of other books, and was surprised to see the author on Charlie Rose last night, so I followed along.  His explanation often went to the most simple, and the easiest to understand.  Picture your own household budget, would you spend more money when you were in debt?  His argument is that those who have saved and acted responsibily in society , are being forced to pay for those who over extended and acted in a non responsible way.   Thus if you were responsible, your bank account is dwindling to pay for the ecessive spending of the people that did not have the money to spend.

He further states that Black Swans are unpredictable, and we need to always be prepared for one to pop up.  It is impossible to chart and look back and assume that going forward the same events will take place.  Not much different than our mother's and father's told us when they said, "save for a rainy day!" 

Richard Feynman

How could I forget this genius?  I had three of his books, I bought in a packet, gathering dust until I finally read them.  Once I got started I loved them.  I left them for my daughter to find, out in a conspicuous place, and sure enough after a few years, she too found them and delighted in them as I did.  Having grown up with  "mathitis,' who would have dreamed ?
Six Easy Pieces: Essentials of Physics Explained by Its Most Brilliant Teacher

Teaching children the magic of reading, recognizing problems early

For the Grandmother, who adores her grandchildren, or the Mom, who wants to bring magic to her child., read with them.!   Dad's ,you too will be amazed at how you can bond with your child.

You will probably remember this, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,"as one of the best of Roald Dahl's books.   It is also a movie so I present the movie, the book and a whole set of Dahl's books.  You can not force a child to read, they have to discover the wonder of it, usually through guidance by an adult.

 My mother read to me on her knee,  I had visions of the stories  as she read  aloud my favorite books while a 3 year old.  It was  the Raggedy Ann and Andy series, I wanted to find the candy house, and searched for many years. Mom's ability to make the stories real carried over, they were so  believable! It also helped me learn to read before I went to school.  Children are ready to learn when they are interested, and excited about what you are  trying to convey.

It is not too late to get children interested in reading even in the higher elementary grades, use subjects they like and observe what words they stumble on, to get a clue as to why they are having a problem with reading.   Teach them to jump the word and get the meaning of the sentence, so they can guess the word from its letters.  Children learn to read in many ways,two ways to try and help, sounding out, guessing from the content of the sentence.


Do not force, push or bribe, make it exciting eve if you have to do the reading.....
 Remember, we are not all created equal, some children have a problem reading because they can not see a letter in a word, like in dog, they may not see the o.  If you discover this, Mass General has a program that can help, but the basic information is to teach them to jump the word and guess it from the content of the sentence and paragraph.  Some "kids" get good at this.

The Black Obelisque Erich Maria Remarque

Remarque was famous for "All Quiet On the Western Front", but this , "The Black Obelisque", was my favorite and if you read the reviews you will see that I am not alone in that.

Hyperinflation after the first world war, and the struggle of the people to endure remains in my mind , probably read by me back in the 50's.  It was a book that remained with me with what seemed like forever.

Another favorite book of mine from when I was a young girl is the story of Madame de Stahl, her salon was famous in Paris, and I wondered at her influence as a woman of the time.  A book  I found in our small library in downtown Framingham.  Our librarians were pretty good at picking great books it also shows the value of a library, whether big or small.

Alma Mahler, was married to two genius' of her time, Mahler and Werfel.  As a young woman, I was struck that she had been honored to share the lives of such brilliant men.  It was an accomplishment not easily done, in her day.  I remember picking out the book in the Framingham library, being enthralled with the story of the time, as I was with the magic of our small library in the Framingham Town Hall Building

Wanda Jackson - One Night With You

did you know her?  I missed her, for some reason, but I recognize the voice....

a review of Secrets of the Heart

Please take a moment to read ....
One of my reviews from Barnes and Noble, there are more on BN and Amazon.  I appreciate this review which conveys the message I tried to give, it was a time long gone, yet you can feel like you lived then.

..AnonymousHighly Recommended Customer Rating Posted December 2, 2010, 2:32 PM EST: This is a wonderful quick-read that melds authentic history from the 30s to the present intertwined with personal stories that sometimes grab your heart and squeeze it. Madlyn writes with such passion, compassion and incite that I couldn't put this book down until I finished it. I didn't want it to end...wanted more. Such a grasp of the era. Love of family, friends, community and country. I loved how Madlyn included music of the times with Meggie's recollection of her intimate experiences. I literally flashed back there again with all its ecstasy and agony. Amazing! I know every one of those songs and it was thrilling to find them online and to connect them to this book. Such a unique concept. She captures the essence of each story in her writing style without extraneous detailing. Concise yet compelling. My first date was at the Totem Pole (which is mentioned in the book.) Madlyn's description brought me back there in an instant. I could see that glittering ball revolving overhead while we danced to a live orchestra (Baron Hugo, I recall) playing "Dream a little Dream of Me" in 1948. She brought me back to the end of World War II. Overwhelming range of emotions were enkindled. In my little community, there was confetti falling like snow, the streets were filled with people crying, laughing.such togetherness. We were all one in spirit. So much love exploding everywhere. Meggie's love of family was expressed so vividly. I was in awe of her spirituality, genuine awareness and acceptance of death. Undoubtedly, you will be astonished as your memory returns to your own experiences while so absorbed in each story just as if you are part of a hologram with the music playing in the background. When you get to know "Meggie", you will feel like you've always known her. You will long to continue a relationship with her. This book inspired me to reconnect to friends I had lost track of through the years and now my life is richer for it. I'm hoping this author writes more books!

Tuck Everlasting and Lost Horizon

A wonderful family story, that my family loved, is "Tuck Everlasting "and a real treat is a story that everyone in the world never forgets once they see it., "Lost Horizon,"  Both movies are about choices in life.
They do not leave you, they keep you thinking.  Buy the popcorn, and have a fun night watching these wonderful stories.

Sarah Plain & Tall.. Commercial (Emily Osment as Cassie)

A wonderful family movie, that my family enjoyed.

Charlotte's Web Trailer

adding to my suggestions for children's books and movies...
One of my favorite children's books.  It is a story that lives forever.  Buy the book first, the movie  should be shown afterwards.  Don't forget the Sorcerers Apprentice, for music stimulation, and Peter and the Wolf.

Women learn to succeed in business without higher education

The book I posted on the last post about women millionaires, is a good way to pump up about how you can be successful without a higher education.  I know women who are driven by the need to commit to a goal and to work to achieve the goal.  It is not money driven, it is driven by your need to satisfy your life goals.

We all have a purpose on earth, and we are driven and satisfied to the very cells that occupy our body with the rewards of our success.  Candace Pert is an M.D. that puts forth her knowledge of studying addiction, and how our cells react to over stimulation and just right stimulation.  Her knowledge is shared in the book "What the Bleep"

Are You Experienced- Secret Millionaires Club

Are You Experienced- Secret Millionaires Club  this is a wonderful cartoon for children and adults that gives a clear explanation of the needs of a businessman
If more people understood business , we would not be having the fights we have.

Business is the furnace that drives the country.  Business goes through cycles of expand and contract.  Employees in small companies recognize the need to go through the expansion and contraction phase of business.  They have the choice of making the best of their job, and doing the work of 2 employees if necessary or leaving and getting another job.  Seniority is not standing in front of success or who gets laid off

Government does not expand and contract on response, to business actions,as it should, (for many reasons).    If everyone understands this, it gets easier to negotiate and handle future problems.

I love this version of Layla, the best..Eric Clapton, got me through tough times with this song! Make the best of this situation, that was all I heard when I played this record over and over. Life is not easy, but we can find ways to deal with it. Music was always my escape.

Marketing marvels

Wow, what a job the Kardashian girls are doing , marketing themselves.  They have 3 clothing stores, and a number of products that they are bringing to the market.  The show and the attention gets them customers.  Talk about learning to perservere and face the odds.  It is tough to become world famous, but here are three sisters that learned to play the marketing odds.  Not everyone wants to pose semi nude, or nude, but even with  that they have managed to grab a power hold on the market. ( or maybe because of that)

Leaning to listen, think and respond, not talk at, and keep it going!

Interesting events this week.  I happened to stop surfing on Hannity as he was interviewing Rumsfeld.  I stopped long enough  to be impressed with the erudite
man, Donald Rumsfeld, who was speaking and answering questions.  I heard him say that Colin Powell provided the information that led people to believe that there were WMD.  I also heard him say that wonderful Condoleeza Rice, as an academic does, took time to ponder and look at all angles. to make the right decisions, and this is not always best for situations that need quick action. (If you are a business person, you know that sometimes you have no choice except to take the best action possible, because a swift decision has to be made).

The next night, I heard Chris Matthews,  on Hard Ball discuss the same book from a whole different point of view than the author in his own voice was trying to convey.
Chris totally blamed Rumsfeld for the problems that were discussed by him in his book and  Matthews further said that Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell should be going after Rumsfeld.

So, we have an author with a point of view based on his experience.  Then we have a non involved person reading the authors book and completely disagreeing with the author, althought the people involved have not denied the authors observations..( yet)

This is an example of why we have serious communication problems between the two political parties.
One person sets forth his views, and the next person responds, both  are trying to win, from their point of view.  While we speak at each other in this manner, we are not listening , but each attempting to win a war of points of view.

We need to listen , learn more and respond with good intentions., to reach accord.   Maybe if we came at our news shows with a better intent instead of a hardened point of view, it would help change the attitude that is prevalent.  I hope we are not going to go through another Presidential election that points fingers, lets move on with absolute positive plans that indicate the road ahead and where we need to slow down, stop, change course, etc. but get somewhere at a certain time.  One thing you have to say for O'Reilly on The Factor,
he does try and keep an open mind, and listen to the other side, you may not all agree, but just compare him to Keith Olbermann, and it will be very clear, what I am talking about.  We must give credit to those that are trying hard to change the attitude, to reach for good intent.

 One of the best people in the business, is Charles Krauthammer, listen to that man think and respond., maybe you will agree with me, he is a gem!Cutting Edges: Making Sense of the Eighties

Mona Lisa and the 7 Mysteries of the World

My new book is tentatively titled, Mona Lisa and the 7 Mysteries of the World, I expect to publish before the end of this year.
My first published novel, was an introduction to Quantum Physics  (heaven forbid!) in the story of a dying woman who travels between dimensions to talk to her friends who have passed on.  The ideas are  simply told , in the emotions of a child during the second world war, (that had to be shared by children all over the world),  in the mind of the teenager who discovers the age of the teenager had to come on at the same time to teens all over the United States, as Seventeen Magazine was introduced. 
Meggie  recalls her life as she is dying and speaks with her friends about their lives, as they wait for her in the next dimension.
The songs of the times, are magic in bringing you back to your own thoughts and experiences of being a teenager, whether in the 40's 50's 60's or later, we are entangled, as Quantum Physics shows us.  The universal theme of this book is that entanglement which reaches into our lives causing us to share a similar destiny in love , tears, sadness and joy.  You will smile and cry while your eyes open to a new look at the coming age of consciousness.
My new book , Mona Lisa , is also an attempt to bring in story form, the history of the 7 mysteries of the world as they come together to produce some astonishing new looks at life and where we are headed in this century.
We might have a little fun, and many mistakes,  learning about the unbelievable , incredible unfolding world, as many scientists have done and still do, since the turn of the century when the first discoveries where made, but, we have to start somewhere, so come along with me, into our future.

Billy Ocean - When the Going Gets Tough

A song that conveys the spirit of our country, I once believed in as a child. I love this song, it is uplifting and helps to get you going!

When I played  this , this morning, all of a sudden memories flooded me, I remembered my uncles being drafted at the onset of the Second World War, and I cried, just as Meggie did in my book, Secrets of the Heart, when the war came. One thing we had then, we were united in spirit, we knew we were fighting for something worthwhile. Our hearts were in our throats, as our men went to war, but, what a country we lived in then, everyone pitched in, personal, and group sacrifice. War clouds hung over us, but when the going got tough, the tough got going.!

Keely you got it! Love this song, rhythm, vocals, it has it all. The Rat Pack, knew good music, when they picked this team of Keely and Louis to entertain them nightly in Vegas...

"I Wish You Love" Keely Smith

Battle of the Singers....Keely Smith does a wonderful job on this song, and so does Chris Connor.....their voices are so different, and the rhythm is distinct, so to me, each is beautiful in its own way.... so enjoy Keely, her gorgeous voice, is a memory of the times, when she and Louis Prima, entertained the Rat Pack in Vegas....

Guy Mitchell - Singing The Blues (Live!)

"Singing the Blues," it takes you back ...It was my pick up song on dark days, I loved the rhythm, and danced around the house to get out of the "blahs"

String Theory, oragami and inflating universe

Last night as I viewed a program on Oragami, I could not help but think that God is the master at that.  It is breath taking what can be developed from a piece of paper.

Concours D'elegance: Amelia Island

Isotta-Fraschini: The Noble Pride of Italy (Ballantine's Illustrated History of the Car, Marque Book No. 3)If you plan a trip to Florida this winter in March, a great place to see antique cars, and loads of people you might know, is the show at Amelia Island.   The hotels fill up fast, but there are many condos that also are available for the weekend.

The Ritz Hotel on the ocean is the site of the show.  There is an auction of antique cars right on the grounds.  The weather can be warm or chilly, one never knows, so check the advance weather before packing.
