Steven Stewart (IFA "Indiana Forest Alliance") arranged for a morning tour at TMCC (Tibetan Mongolian Cultural Center), on June 12 (Thursday). We decided to meet at 9am, see below text
See below for our meeting at TMCC parking lot, then pics of our tour:
Afterwards, Steven & I headed to Siam (Thai restaurant in Bloomington) to meet with another IFA member (Dex Conaway, State of Indiana Director)
We discussed potential Collaborative/Cooperative projects involving IFA:
1) STEM Outreach
highlighting Forest Environment/Ecology/Hydrology preservation)
2) "Data Analytics" using high-multitude sensor-arrays
reporting Terabytes of data to IFA home-base, whereupon it is uploaded en-masse (via high-speed Web/Internet) to the Cloud. Where main-frame supercomputers (GPU-cluster architecture) are used to "search for strategies", towards Environment/Ecology/Hydrology preservation strategies (near/middle/long term)
^^^ It would parallel the "Data Analytics" model used in Formula 1 (#1 sport in the world, by popularity) -- in "search for Speed":
Formula 1 "Data Analytics" -- search for SPEED
BACKGROUND:
Steven & Jeff (IFA "Indiana Forest Alliance" Federal Director & Executive Director) were in touch with me for
Steven Stewart (IFA "Indiana Forest Alliance") & I were in touch for the April 8/2024 solar eclipse. He had arranged a Simons Foundation funded eclipse event at TMCC
Steven did OUTSTANDING job of trying to accomadate my request for
Indiana based eclipse observation site
along with Jeff (IFA "Executive Director"), who offered his horse farm. Latter called me up with directions, while I was travelling in Missouri (on my way to southern IL, possibly extending to IN)
As it turned out, due to extreme sleep deprivation, I settled into Matt Payne's southern IL (Goreville) farm
I sent a grateful "Thank You to Steven & Jeff, for their generous/outstanding efforts for me..
Here are my solar eclipse results from Goreville/IL
