B&B Meeting: The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt -- Toby Wilkinson
Everyone, please join us on Monday, April 6 at 7 p.m. to discuss [The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt](https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Fall-Ancient-Egypt-ebook/dp/B004FGMZAI/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0) by [Toby Wilkinson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toby_Wilkinson)\. \| 510pp\. Our discussion will focus on ancient Egypt\, i\.e\. the Old\, Middle\, and New Kingdoms\, and not the final chapters on Greek and Roman Egypt\.
In this landmark volume, one of the world’s most renowned Egyptologists tells the epic story of this great civilization, from its birth as the first nation-state to its absorption into the Roman Empire. Drawing upon forty years of archaeological research, award-winning scholar Toby Wilkinson takes us inside a tribal society with a pre-monetary economy and decadent, divine kings who ruled with all-too-recognizable human emotions. Here are the legendary leaders: Akhenaten, the “heretic king,” who with his wife Nefertiti brought about a revolution with a bold new religion; Tutankhamun, whose dazzling tomb would remain hidden for three millennia; and eleven pharaohs called Ramesses, the last of whom presided over the militarism, lawlessness, and corruption that caused a political and societal decline. Filled with new information and unique interpretations, The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt is a riveting and revelatory work of wild drama, bold spectacle, unforgettable characters, and sweeping history.
Our meetings have a $3 fee, purely to offset the cost of Meetup. This can be paid via Venmo, Paypal, or in cash.
We do not accept requests from authors to read their books. We will never ask for money beyond the above fee. If you receive offers purporting to come from the club they are part of an online scam.

WEBINAR "Trust What You Can Trace: Making Agentic AI Explainable"
**Pre-registration is REQUIRED. RSVP here - [https://hubs.li/Q046VS--0](https://hubs.li/Q046VS--0)**
**Speaker:** Michael Novack, Solutions Architect at AIceberg
**Topic title:** "Trust What You Can Trace: Making Agentic AI Explainable, Secure, and Enterprise-Ready"
As enterprises adopt increasingly powerful AI systems, one critical challenge remains: understanding how and why these systems make decisions. Many modern models - especially large language models - operate as opaque “black boxes,” making transparency, compliance, and trust difficult to achieve.
*This webinar introduces the AI Explainability Scorecard, a practical framework for evaluating the transparency of AI systems based on criteria such as faithfulness, consistency, accessibility, and comprehensibility*. Attendees will learn how different model architectures - from K-Nearest Neighbors to neural networks and transformers - vary dramatically in explainability and risk.
**The session will also explore real-world techniques for improving visibility into complex models, including surrogate monitoring approaches that map AI behavior to comparable examples.** These methods help organizations build observable, auditable AI systems without sacrificing performance or scalability.
By the end of this session, attendees will understand how to move beyond black-box AI toward transparent, accountable, and secure AI deployment - a critical step for enterprises scaling agentic AI in high-stakes environments.
You will learn:
**\- Why Explainability Is the Foundation of Trustworthy AI**
*Learn why transparency isn’t just a technical preference - it’s becoming a legal, ethical, and operational requirement for enterprise AI systems.*
**\- The AI Explainability Scorecard Framework**
*Understand the five key criteria - faithfulness, comprehensibility, consistency, accessibility, and optimization clarity - for evaluating how explainable an AI model truly is.*
**\- How Different AI Models Compare in Transparency**
*Discover why some models are inherently interpretable while others require advanced methods to understand their behavior.*
**\- Practical Methods for Making Black\-Box AI Observable**
*Explore modern techniques - including surrogate monitoring models - that help organizations understand and audit large language models at scale.*
🔗 Stay Connected
* **Learn:** Free talks and trainings on the [Ai+ Training platform](https://aiplus.training/).
* **Read:** The latest in AI research on the [ODSC Blog](https://opendatascience.com/).

***Tate has been doing crypto and investment for years and he will share his immense experience.***
We have a tiny venue and we hit capacity often and early arrival is suggested.
We have the discretion to decide entry.
Instead of silently doing research on your own, it is well known that when you are regularly connected with people of your own investment interest, you are likely to be more motivated, better informed and less likely to miss out on opportunities. Meet and discuss face-to-face.
**HOW IT WORKS : We will try to assign tables for each represented INDUSTRIES/SECTORS/SPECIALIZATIONS and will direct attendees to their respective tables accordingly. All industries are welcome! However we don't guarantee the availability of a partner in that particular field, you would like to exchange experience. Space is limited and advance RSVP is required. PLEASE BRING BUSINESS CARDS (Hard/Soft Copy).**
THIS IS NOT A SEMINAR or A PANEL EVENT AND THERE WILL BE NO SPEAKER. It is just a happy hour social event for those interested. In the past we had a great mix of developers, miners, investors, blockchainers and people who are completely new to cryptos.
\- Come one\, come all OR FLY SOLO; this is the most friendliest event you have ever attended\!
\- Feel free to invite your friends\. They don't necessarily have to be a member
\- Event is 21\+
***AFTER THE HAPPY HOUR, WE WILL HIT THE DANCE FLOOR AND DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY. BRING YOUR DANCING SHOES!***
***N.B. : We have ZERO TOLERANCE for solicitation. We don't allow anyone to run their own agenda at the Event. If you are interested to promote/sponsor/collaborate; contact us via ([info@merevents.com](http://info@merevents.com/)).***

AI Your Way: MCPs vs Skills vs SubAgents 🤖🚀 - Sam Basu
SAM BASU IN-PERSON; NOTE: THIS IS THU, NOT TUE AS NORMAL
Code is cheap, but software is expensive. Modern AI is a big opportunity to streamline and automate developer workflows for better productivity. There are some challenges though – AI Models often lack knowledge and AI Agents need expertise/guidance to reliably pull off complex workflows. Context is everything for modern AI and you can bring it.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) aims to provide a standardized way to connect AI Agents to different data sources, tools and non-public information - the point is to provide deeply contextual information/expertise to AI. Skills are higher-level behaviors and instructional guardrails, that define how and when AI Agents should leverage tools to accomplish something meaningful. Subagents in AI are specialized, task-focused agents designed to handle specific, well-defined tasks within a larger AI system.
In terms of the food industry:
AI Agent = Chef 👨🍳👩🍳
MCP Tools = Raw Ingredients 🥔 🥩
Skills = Recipe Cards 📝 📇
SubAgents = Sous Chef 🔪 🍳
Loops = Door Watcher 💂👀
Developer = Restaurant Owner 👑.
So, what should developers use to bring context and guardrails to make AI work their way? Well, it depends and sometimes, the answer might be whatever combination makes developers most productive. With official SDKs and well-thought-out guidance, it is a breeze to work with MCPs, Skills or SubAgents. Developers could bring their own data, APIs, services, coding patterns and structured guidance to make AI Agents work their way. And AI Agentic workflows work the same way in IDEs or Terminals, paving the way autonomous ways of getting work done with AI. With contextual expertise to light up unique coding workflows, AI Agents can make developers ultra productive – upwards and onwards.

CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again.
We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all.
Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
