Warmth from the earth can be utilized as a vitality source from multiple points of view, from huge and complex power stations to little and moderately basic pumping frameworks. This warmth vitality, known as geothermal vitality, can be discovered anyplace—as far away as remote profound wells in Indonesia and as close as the earth in our terraces. Hot FactsThe following Earth's outside, there is a layer of hot and liquid shake, called magma. Warmth is constantly delivered in this layer, generally from the rot of normally radioactive materials, for example, uranium and potassium. The measure of warmth inside 10,000 meters (around 33,000 feet) of Earth's surface contains 50,000 circumstances more vitality than all the oil and characteristic gas assets on the planet. On the off chance that the full financial capability of geothermal assets can be acknowledged, they would speak to a tremendous wellspring of power creation limit. In 2012, the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) found that ordinary geothermal sources (aqueous) in 13 states have a potential limit of 38,000 MW, which could create 308 million MWh of power every year. State and government arrangements are probably going to goad designers to tap some of this potential in the following couple of years. The Geothermal Energy Association assesses that 125 undertakings now being worked on around the nation could give up to 2,500 megawatts of new limit. As EGS advances enhance and get to be distinctly aggressive, considerably a greater amount of the generally undiscovered geothermal asset could be created. The NREL concentrate found that hot dry shake assets could give another 4 million MW of limit, which is identical to more than the greater part of today's U.S. power. Not exclusively do geothermal assets in the world offer awesome potential, they can likewise give constant baseload power. As indicated by NREL, the limit components of geothermal plants—a measure of the proportion of the real power created after some time contrasted with what might be delivered if the plant was running constant for that period—are equivalent with those of coal and atomic power .With the mix of both the extent of the asset base and its consistency, geothermal can assume a fundamental part in a cleaner, more economical power framework. ConclusionThere are many points of interest to geothermal vitality. Geothermal vitality is renewable vitality on the grounds that once water or steam is utilized, it can be pumped over into the ground. It is likewise spotless vitality. Geothermal power plants, not at all like plants that smolder fossil powers, don't deliver nursery gasses that can be destructive to the climate. Geothermal vitality is simple on the neighborhood environment on the grounds that the power plants don't require the clearing of expansive zones of land, damming of waterways or mining like other vitality sources.
It is reasonable to utilize. Once a geothermal framework is introduced, the wellspring of vitality is allowed to utilize and in light of the fact that the plants utilize not very many moving parts, there are by and large low upkeep costs included. It additionally lessens a nation's reliance on imported oil, which can be eccentric.

I didn’t take a course on it—I just did it—as easily as breathing. My cousin, who was taking a course in it, said I was a natural, and boolean logic seemed common sense to me. I did programs for the engineering department as well. They seemed to like it, but I never got a “thank you” for it. It compressed hours of work with a legal pad and steps to put into a calculator into seconds. I have to admit I was way better at programming than anything else at the time, but after applying myself toward electromagnetic theory, that came as well
A few years later, after the Challenger met it’s big challenge in the sky, I got a Commodore 64, which was actually only 32K of RAM. That one also ran on MS DOS, and was pretty primitive by today’s standards—not as bad as an Altair, but at least you could put programs in without knowing machine code or binary (later I would discover that my father knew how to program in machine code, a skill that I never would have guessed). Then I discovered the Apple Mac—the big beige box with the monitor inside. I was thinking of getting the next generation of Commodore, the Amiga, but decided against that after getting burned the first time. It was 1984, and that was the 128K Mac, with dual floppy drives, and no hard drive. The earlier ones had program storage on cassette tape, or a Wollensak reel to reel tape recorder. This one was going uptown with a 3.5 inch floppy—WOO HOO! The Mac OS was a graphical interface, and I got out of the command line interface world. It was a big step up. I also had a floppy disk of MS Basic, and I continued to program in that. There were upgrades after upgrades, and I kept track of every one—from 128 to 512 to 1024K. I stuck with the Mac OS, while taking trips to the Windows world from time to time. I put a book into the Mac—and did all the typesetting with Pagemaker. I learned dozens of programs, and had a whole bookshelf filled with program boxes. I sold the Mac Plus, and went to a Mac LC, the “Pizza Box” as some would call it. I had that one for a few years, upgrading to a G3, G4 and then a G5. At that time, I was running Windows 98 with an emulator when I had to, as there were still programs that only ran in the Windows world. I briefly tried loading an operating system called “Linux PPC 2000” that was a gray hair and ulcer generator, and gave up on it as the installer would crash constantly. I could never, ever get it to load. So at that time I concluded that Linux was a novelty, and nothing more. I couldn’t find many apps worth pursuing, and left it at that. By that time the G5 came along, and Apple did a major fubar. Some would say they “screwed the pooch”. They, in their infinite corporate wisdom, decided to change processors. They had an advanced RISC reduced instruction set processor (PowerPC), and changed it to the intel CISC (complex instruction set) processor that took more clock cycles to perform the same operations. As if that weren’t bad enough, they went from a Linux-like OS to Unix. OS 10, the Unix version was horribly buggy, and slowed things down even further. Then 10.5 came along, and they only would provide an upgrade for the intel machines. There was only one problem with that—they stopped selling the G5 machines only a couple of months earlier, so those people who got a nice and shiny G5 discovered they had to buy a whole new computer if they were going to upgrade their OS. Saying they were not happy was an understatement. Thus began the exodus from Mac OS. The open source community was sympathetic, and several versions of Linux popped up—Red Hat, Yellow Dog, and so forth. I think it was a backlash against what Apple did with their customer base, as all of the OSX flavors were based on cats—lion, mountain lion, leopard and the like. So they named theirs after dogs. I dabbled in Linux, and had Red Hat and Yellow Dog. I got it to work, but there were not many “packages” or apps available at that time, so I stayed with the Mac OS. Apple stumbled again. After Mavericks, they came out with an abomination they called El Capitan. It was not compatible with many of their own apps, and many did not like the slowdown in performance, let alone constant crashes. The one that came out after that was even worse, called Sierra. The ongoing joke was the next version was going to be called sayonara. Mavericks had some bugs of its own, the most serious of which was a directory fragmentation that would cause the OS to self destruct over time. A utility called Disk Warrior fixed that, but it cost a little over $100. Apple put a self destruct into their OS so that you HAD to upgrade, as they no longer supplied their OS on a DVD, and you had to go to the cloud to reinstall the crumbling OS, so if they took your OS off the cloud, you had to upgrade to a garbage OS. That was not good. It took the choice away from the user who was your customer, and treated them like an idiot for buying your computer. There had to be an alternative. So fast forward to a few months ago. In 2015, I was looking at Ubuntu, and different flavors. Unity was OK, although a little funky. It looked like it was designed for a tablet PC. Lubuntu, the low end, was too low for me. Xubuntu, one supposedly for the techno geeks, didn’t seem geeky enough. Ubuntu Studio was a memory hog, and sometimes crashed. I had a MacBook Pro that was in need of an upgrade, and it was a good experiment. I looked at all the flavors, and Mate (like the tea from South America, pronounced “Mah tay” instead of “OOOY Mate”). I liked it. So I did an ISO disk, and put it in the Mac. I am writing this using Libre Office, which is the open source version of Microsoft Office, and it works better. I have found almost all the apps I need in Linux, and there are a huge selection. Mate has a cool one click installer that Mac OS or Windows doesn’t have. When I flip the lid open, it takes 3 seconds to log onto the net, in contrast to one minute for Mac OS. It is at least 3 times faster. The OS was only 1.5 gigs in size, as opposed to a nearly 8 gig download off the cloud. With a slow connection, it can take hours to download the OS, and techs groan when they learn this. The Mate install took a couple of minutes, and upgrades are just as short. Apps are tiny in comparison to eitherWindows or Mac, and work much faster. After downloading apps like a kid in a candy store, The 250 gig hard drive had 200 gigs free. It reminded me of the OS9 days. I put Wine in, which is kind of like an emulator that translates DLL calls on the fly. I put in Windows apps such as IMVU, a chat program and Ye Aulde Microsoft Office, which worked like a champ. I was officially impressed. What did it cost me? Nothing...nada...zip. It was free. There is a huge selection of software in the open source community. Some versions are free, and others are free at the entry level, and you pay for the professional upgrade. So the total cost for my upgrade project was zero, and I tripled the speed of my computer. I did find that there was a lack of selections of 1.6:1 aspect ratios for the monitor for resolutions, so I was stuck with a higher resolution than with the Mac OS. I learned to live with that. I tried Firefox, and Chrome. They handled the video well, although the upgrades for Firefox seemed to occasionally have problems with downloading extra files. I found Skype for Linux, and used that. Libre Office had a one click export to PDF that was a nice feature. The Atril reader worked well for PDF files. I got Calibre for ebooks, and started a collection of those. Then I tried “system tweaks.” There were settings for “Cupertino” and “Redmond”. Cupertino puts a tray at the bottom of the screen that looks like Mac OSX, and Redmond makes it look more like Windows. I wanted an authentic Linux experience, so I chose neither, and went with the default Mate screen. I also put in a screen saver with astronomical photos that was nearly identical to the one in the Mac OS. Now, unless you looked at the top and bottom of the screen you would think it’s running on Mac OS. One other thing: the menus are customizable, so you can change the menus to suit your needs. This is gone in the Apple and Microsoft worlds, but not in Linux. And then I HAD to go to Windows 10 for my drafting program...OMG! The wait for the whole thing to boot was almost painful. I did some high speed thumb twiddling while it loaded on the big tower computer, then made a cup of coffee, came back and it was still loading. I have to admit I am spoiled now. Once you drive a Lamborgini, a Yugo just will not do. I am a convert to the holy church of Linux. YOWZA! However, I will not be handling snakes or passing around the mason jar filled with strychnine. That is reserved for the Windows crowd. In the past, it was said that the best selling point for the Mac OS was a lack of viruses. That didn’t last long. Right now that is a selling point for Linux, and I wonder if we will see the same problem later. Only time will tell. Am I happy with the upgrade? You betcha! Would I recommend it? Yes, I would. The Linux world has also introduced me to a different selection of software that is not available in the Windows and Mac worlds. I got network analysis tools that were professional grade in the open source community that would normally have cost me hundreds of dollars. I had to get this for a friend that wanted some web sites traced along with a few emails. The performance was stunning, and a lot of fun! Three of my friends were constantly after me about trying Linux again, and Ubuntu in particular, and I was too cynical at the time to have an open mind. I had to find out for myself. Sure, I have done programming in the past, but I did not have to use those skill sets to install Mate. It did it all by itself. If you never did programming, Windows and Mac OS are OK, but for those who want to get into the nitty gritty Linux is the way to go. However, if all you want is performance, it excels at that as well. Look Ma! I took off the training wheels! written by: Elizabeth Donavan Remember the Terminator movies with the T-1000? They called it a mnemetic polyalloy. It was supposed to be made up of little nano machines that mimicked living cells, and could copy any shape it was programmed to.
Well, it turns out that is not too far from the truth. There is an alloy called nitinol, which is a combination of nickel and titanium, (with a variant being nickel, titanium, osmium and lanthanum), and it can be “programmed” to return to a specific shape on reaching a certain temperature that is determined through the proportion of nickel to titanium. For example, you can have a stent that reinforces an artery programmed to actuate at the temperature of the blood, and crush the stent so it is easily maneuvered into place, and once it is there, the temperature of the blood causes it to regain its programmed shape. But it gets better! It turns out that it needs energy to do this, and in order to return to that shape, it draws extra energy from the environment. So it “eats” energy in order to shape shift—just like a living organism eats food to do what it is programmed to do, such as a bacterium or similar life form. So is nitinol, which is also called “bio-metal” really alive? Not really, as one of the requirements is reproduction, which so far it cannot do yet. But it is close. The metal grain structure resembles living cells, even though it cannot come close to living tissue. But it can be considered “nano tech”, as it is programmable from a molecular level. So even though nano-tech remains in the sci-fi realm, this one if very real, and has been with us since at least 1961. So why are we not using it yet? Well we are, but the alloy is expensive, as it is not mass produced. The argument is that titanium is the culprit, and is horribly expensive. However, this is not the case either, as titanium dioxide is the base of white paint, having replaced the more toxic white lead. If their argument were true, then it would cost $100 per gallon to paint your ceiling. What is more likely is what we are looking at is an artificially inflated price for technology that “they” do not want us to use. Another point is that some researchers are finding out that the “energy eating” aspect of nitinol has a bizarre quality to it that is over unity, and it seems to lower the surrounding temp to do work, instead of the other way around. Some are saying it is negentropic, and has an efficiency way over 100%. Whatever the case, this material is fascinating to work or play with, and will prove to be a valuable asset in the future, as it can replace hydraulic actuators without having to worry about pumps and leaky plumbing. In fact, it is so powerful it has been estimated to produce up to 20,000 pounds to the square inch of force, way beyond what hydraulic actuators could possibly produce without blowing seals in the process. It is being used in robotics, surgery for implants—as the body does not reject the alloy— and in plumbing for anti-scald shower heads and valves. The actual number of applications are staggering, as it can replace anything that actuator motors or hydraulics can do. The alternative energy applications are possible as well, as motors that can run on waste heat as a co-generation power plant. I predict we will be seeing much more of this in the future, as the economics cannot be suppressed forever, and once it is “turned loose”, we will see amazing things with this material, such as boats that can be stored in a backpack with ice, and then when thrown into a river, self-actuates into a usable boat, or camping gear that self-actuates such as a tent with a small jolt of current from a solar-charged battery. The applications are only limited by the imagination.
Written by Elizabeth Donavan Many years ago I read “Mysticism and the New Physics” by Michael Talbot, and it gave me a different perspective on the universe—it opened my mind up a little bit to see other possibilites—that perhaps this solid reality was less substantial than we thought. And as I read other works that linked eastern philosophies with quantum physical concepts, I began to see a convergence rather than a divergence.
The turning point for me was reading the Kybalion, by the Three Initiates. It told about the “all within the all”, a recursive concept if there ever were one. It continued with “as above, so below”, and other Hermetic concepts. It was as if I were in kindergarten all those years, and then this dropped into my lap at just the right time. The synchronicity was astounding. I was at a friend’s house and he came over and handed me a sheaf of photocopied papers an inch thick. That was the book. He said, “You need to read this...NOW! Something told me to copy this for you. Take your time.” So I did. I put the sheaf in a zip up bag that I had, and would read it whenever I could. It resonated so strongly with me like so few books ever could. Later I would read 2150 AD by Thea Alexander, and I noted some Hermetic overtones in the Macro Philosophy. After speaking with some scientist-philosophers, one had an interesting take on the subject. “What we perceive is dependent on our world view. Philosophy is the scaffolding...the framework of that perception. It limits us, but if our world view is large enough, then we see a little bit farther than most, and can share that vision with those that have the same level of comprehension.” I saw the truth in that. I became just as hungry for philosophy as science. It seemed to balance things, and understood how they both would weave a tapestry of deeper perception. So I went from electronic theory to Macro Philosophy, from quantum physics to Theosophy, from the Many Worlds Hypothesis to I-Ching and Hermetic Laws of manifestation. I saw links everywhere. The all within the all was the same as the Mandlebrot theory of fractality, and the fractal universe. It all seemed to be converging. In fact, the Hermetic “all” was the same as Rupert Sheldrake’s morphogenic field—a universal field of intelligence that permeates everything—the same as the “force” in Star Wars. We lived in a sea of intelligence, and matter itself was not dead, but alive. I learned psychometry—the discipline that accessed the intelligence field in matter, and could see images that were imprinted on car keys and other items. They were memories of the owner, recorded for all time. The Russians had a word for this science—energetics. In the west it was called psychotronics, and it studied the interactions of the standing longitudinal wave structures we call matter, and the longitudinal, or traveling scalar waves that connect all matter in the universe. Einstein called this “spooky action at a distance” or quantum entanglement. It showed that using Bell’s Theorem, you could prove this was a very real phenomenon. So we have another point of convergence. It explains so many things—telepathy, voodoo, psychotronics, psychometry. They are all caused by the same phenomena. We need to expand our awareness of the physical world, and quantify how these different forces work together to merge into the same cause. There is even new speculation on the physics of consciousness itself, and what it means to be self-conscious, or sentient, and self-aware. At some point, I can see real world devices that cross the boundaries, and are triggered by the psi field directly, as in the PK switch in 2150 AD. We have something called the SQD, or superconductive quantum detector that can change state with single photons interacting with it. We also have photomultiplier tubes that can do the same thing, and so sensitive they can detect the ghost particle, the neutrino, that can pass through a sheet of lead as thick as the earth before interacting with matter, and detect it as it interacts with a single nucleus. So we are nearly there. Also, there are circuits based upon living matter, such as bacteria that can sense fluctuations in the information field. Chris Bird in “The Secret Life of Plants”, showed how this information field in all organisms connects in a kind of internet of life, and can cause eruptions in the collective unconsious such as prophetic dreams. This information field not only propagates forward in time, but backward as well to produce psychic impressions. In his paper “Quantum Entanglement in Time” Martin Jones showed how this information transfer could take place, and explain such things as deja vu, prescience, and other psychic phenomena. This takes the paranormal and makes it normal by explaining how it works. It’s only spooky if you don’t understand the mechanism. As Arthur C. Clarke once said, “Any science sufficiently advanced would be indistinguishable from magic”. In that case, what is magic anyway? It is a sympathetic resonance in the information field. Take 2 tuning forks, and strike one to begin it vibrating. Hold the other one close by, and it akes up that resonance, and begins ringing on it’s own. The community called Damanhur discovered this and called it selfics, and are using symbols that have this sympathetic resonance to preserve food, as a way to suppress bacterial growth, as well as other things. Think of the symbols as the tuning forks for the information field. So now the metaphysical concept of taking someone’s power by knowing their name becomes significant. If they identify with their name, that is their center of power. They resonate with that. This also means that the magical practice of sigils takes on a new meaning. The same would be true of photographs, as the photon pattern that made the photo is entangled with the person in the photo. Now those superstitious beliefs of some primitive tribes takes on a whole new significance, as they believed that in taking their photo you were stealing their soul. The same would apply to the taboo for graven images, as those would have their own symbolic resonance. But there are positive aspects to all of this. Rupert Sheldrake mentioned that the amplitude of the morphic field increases to the square of those that have the same intention, and alike mind. This can explain the hundredth monkey effect. How so? Take a look at a light bulb as opposed to a laser. Both can have the same wattage, but the laser can cut sheet steel. Why is that? Because the laser is coherent, and the light coming from the bulb is not. One has a single frequency in a single phase, in a narrow beam. The other is non coherent in phase and frequency, and diverges. When people act together, their morphic fields act in coherence, like the atoms in a laser. When they are all going in separate directions, they are like the light bulb. Society is like that. When the American Revolution took place, only 3% of the population were for the separation from England, and the rest were unconcerned. Let’s take a look how that works. If we have an intentional community with a 100 people, it affects 10,000 in the neighboring territory. 1000 affects 1,000,000 and so on. This means that about 90,000 can offset the entire planet of 8 billion. This really is the only way real change takes place, with a small coherent minority leading the way for the incoherent or noncoherent (perhaps I was right the first time) majority. This is why a church full of people can set the pattern for a whole community, or a small political movement for a whole country. But for those that want to maintain the status quo, the easiest thing to do is to keep people fighting amongst themselves, as a non-coherent populace goes nowhere and is not a threat to the elite. How do you do this? By killing or jailing anyone that is remotely associated with leading a religious or political movement, and promoting crime and corruption. Fear is a control factor, and tends to disrupt coherent thought, and crime—the fear of being robbed, raped or killed—is the best way of doing that. Another way is the fear of being robbed, raped or killed by the government, so totalitarian laws and edicts are another way of preventing coherence among the masses that they consider to be the enemy. But these diversionary tactics are symptoms that the powers that are soon not to be are themselves afraid of change. I had a great conversation with a historian once, who considered himself an expert on political history and tactics. It’s amazing what you learn when you load them up on beer, and lend a sympathetic ear. It went like this: “Do you want to know a dirty little secret that people like me know?” He grabbed a handful of peanuts and looked at them carefully, as if he was trying to divine something from them. “Sure. I like to learn things from the past. Sometimes it prevents them from happening again, or something like that.” He laughed, and looked at me oddly. “It has to do with terrorism...the real kind.” “How many kinds are there? Is it like close encounters by a UFO...4 kinds aren’t there?” He snorted. “I’m serious. Real terrorism is all state sponsored...” He looked at me again. I thought he was beginning to treat me like an idiot. “Of course it is. Why wouldn’t it be?” He looked at me a little pained. “No, you don’t get it. It is sponsored by the state to terrorize their own people. Look at the Reichstag fire of Germany.” “They do it to get their own people to do something they wouldn’t normally do?” I guess I looked surprised. “Now you got it. That is how it happens without exception. They got that little lesson from the Mafia. You burn down the bar next to your target to shake them down for protection money.” “Pretty insidious if you ask me...” I wrinkled my nose. “Of course it is. But it always works that way. Do you understand now why it has been a secret all this time?” “Yeah...yeah I can see why. But why do they keep using the same playbook?” “Because they think the peasants are too stupid to catch on. That’s why.” He fished around in the bowl of peanuts for something, and grabbed a handful. Then after he looked at the floor for a while, he said, “I gotta go. I said too much already. I’ll deny I said any of this later, so don’t bother quoting me.” He went out the door without looking back. I think he was ashamed. At least I would like to think so. So we see how fear can be used as a diversion. But if the peasants “wise up”, then the game is over, and I think that we are close to that point. The good news is that it doesn’t take all of them for this to happen, as the hundredth monkey effect shows it only takes a small percentage of people acting with coherent consiousness without fear to make major changes. The rule book that has been used for 2000 years on this planet is about to become obsolete. Slavery persists in our age in various forms. The bonded labour system is one of them. Child labour is another kind of bonded labor. Both arise out of socio-economic and historical reasons. India, the largest democratic country in the world, has 65 million bonded child laborers, and 300 million adult laborers living a life of bondage and contemporary forms of slavery, according to our estimates. This is despite Constitutional guarantees and prohibitive laws like the Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act 1976, the Child labour (Prohibition and Regulation Act) 1986 and International Conventions on the subject.
