Pine Island, Minnesota is the kind of idyllic Midwestern farm town that most people picture when they think of anywhere in the middle of the country: friendly people, a strong sense of community, and civic pride.  The town also had one other fixture that used to be common in every little town in the Midwest: an Odd Fellows lodge.  Unfortunately, the lodge had fallen on hard times.  Membership was low and the building was falling apart.  Evan Goranson and David Friese stepped in about a year and a half ago and started turning things around.  Sometimes that job was fun and easy, like getting people interested in sorting through old treasures in the building.  Sometimes it was more of a challenge than they wanted, like dealing with a leaking toilet.  Through it all, the lodge is prospering and starting to grow, having reconnected with its community.  The progress is significant and shows that with the right combination of new members, guidance from the Grand Lodge, and a can-do attitude, a lodge can be revived and start to thrive.  The Shoutout goes to a new lodge in Tennessee, Crockett Hall Lodge #59.  In this episode's Odd Podge, Meredith previews a special parade inclusion for the upcoming Pilgrimage to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Ainslie shares another somber memorial service in Illinois, Evan expresses excitement for the first day over 70 degrees Farenheit for Minnesota and Wisconsin, David expresses gratitude both for the nine candidates poised to join his lodge and for being able to talk about it on the podcast, and Toby recounts his conversation with a Chief Patriarch about how to make his Encampment more interesting for its members.

L'essor de l'intelligence artificielle pose un défi énergétique majeur. Selon l'Agence internationale de l'énergie, les centres de données devraient consommer entre 2 et 3 % de l'électricité mondiale dès 2026, soit environ 500 térawattheures par an. Pour donner un ordre de grandeur, c'est l'équivalent de la consommation électrique d'un pays comme la France. Et avec la généralisation de l'IA générative, cette demande pourrait doubler d'ici 2030. Face à cette explosion des besoins, les géants du numérique cherchent des solutions capables d'assurer une alimentation électrique stable, tout en réduisant les émissions de CO₂. L'une des pistes les plus prometteuses consiste à associer énergies renouvelables et stockage massif d'électricité grâce à de gigantesques batteries.C'est précisément la stratégie adoptée par Google, qui prépare un projet spectaculaire aux États-Unis, sur un site de 200 hectares à Pine Island. L'installation sera alimentée par un portefeuille d'électricité renouvelable, essentiellement éolien et solaire, capable de fournir 1 600 mégawatts de puissance. Mais la pièce maîtresse du projet réside dans son système de stockage. Google prévoit d'y installer une batterie géante de 300 mégawatts, capable de fournir de l'énergie pendant près de 100 heures consécutives, soit environ quatre jours d'autonomie. Une performance inédite pour ce type d'infrastructure.L'objectif est clair : garantir une alimentation continue du centre de données sans dépendre des centrales fossiles ou des générateurs diesel, encore utilisés par près de 80 % des centres de données dans le monde pour assurer les secours en cas de panne. La technologie retenue est développée par la start-up américaine Form Energy. Elle repose sur un système dit « fer-air », basé sur un principe chimique simple : l'oxydation et la réduction du fer. En stockant l'électricité sous forme de réaction chimique, ces batteries peuvent accumuler de grandes quantités d'énergie et la restituer pendant de longues périodes, tout en supportant des milliers de cycles.Par sa capacité énergétique, ce dispositif pourrait devenir la plus grande batterie du monde. À titre de comparaison, il serait capable d'alimenter plus de 100 000 foyers américains pendant une journée. Pour Google, ce projet constitue un véritable laboratoire. L'entreprise veut démontrer qu'il est possible d'alimenter ses centres de données 24 heures sur 24 et 7 jours sur 7 avec de l'énergie décarbonée, sans recourir à des compensations carbone. Un enjeu stratégique pour le groupe, dont les émissions de CO₂ ont augmenté d'environ 50 % depuis 2019, notamment en raison du développement massif de l'intelligence artificielle. L'équation énergétique du numérique devient donc l'un des grands défis technologiques de la décennie. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

This amber is millions of years old and could hold clues about ancient ecosystems that once thrived on the frozen continent. Imagine finding tiny prehistoric insects or pollen trapped inside, perfectly preserved from a time when Antarctica was much warmer. This discovery could rewrite what we know about Earth's climate history and how plants and animals adapted to extreme changes. Scientists are now carefully studying the amber to uncover its secrets.

Scientists just made an incredible discovery in Antarctica—they found Pine Island amber, a super rare type of fossilized tree resin! This amber is millions of years old and could hold clues about ancient ecosystems that once thrived on the frozen continent. Imagine finding tiny prehistoric insects or pollen trapped inside, perfectly preserved from a time when Antarctica was much warmer. This discovery could rewrite what we know about Earth's climate history and how plants and animals adapted to extreme changes. Scientists are now carefully studying the amber to uncover its secrets. Who knows what mysteries could be hiding inside? Credit: Gondwana: By Fama Clamosa, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...

John Skinner is a renowned author and videographer with over 50 years of saltwater fishing experience. He is particularly well-known for his expertise in surfcasting for striped bass, albies, and fluke.  His "real job" as a computer scientist at the prestigious Brookhaven National Laboratory means he always asks why? This curiosity has served the surfcasting community very well. Over the years, he has contributed to various publications, including On the Water, The Surfcaster's Journal, and Shallow Water Angler. He is known for his methodical and productive approach to fishing. Recently retired, he now splits his time between Eastern Long Island, New York, and Pine Island, Florida.
