UNO #472
Let's continue the tradition and play UNO, everybody is welcome :)
If you're on the waitlist please check your messages, especially on Sunday. If people drop off last minute I tend to message people on the waitlist to see who can come.
We'll be playing at the lobby of Radisson RED, Brussels. The address of the hotel is:
Rue d'Idalie 35, 1050 Bruxelles
My number is 0471 45 55 02. Feel free to call if you cannot solve a physics question, cannot find the place or simply need a hug.
I have quickly written a set of rules on how we play. It is assumed that the reader has a basic concept of the game.
***
Setup:
* Each player starts with 6 or 7 cards each (depending on total number of players)
* A card is shown in play in the middle of everyone, this is known as the top card.
Goal:
* The goal of the game for each player is to get rid of all cards in your hand
Rules:
* Whenever you go from two cards to one card, you have to say "UNO".
* Each player takes his turn one by one, initially going in the clock-wise direction
* A card may be played if it matches the same colour or same number or same type as the top card in play
* The two black cards (Draw 4 and Wild) can be played regardless of the top card in play.
* Interruption rule: You may interrupt the general flow of the game (clockwise or counter-clockwise) if you have the EXACT same card as the top card in play. If you manage to play the card prior to the person whose turn it's supposed to be, then the game continues on from you in the same direction it was previously. (Unless the reverse card was interrupted, then the direction changes).
* Draw2 or Draw4 cards can be played in accordance to the interruption rule. The following person after the interrupt has to take the accumulated number of cards. If however, cards have already been drawn AND seen by the person who was supposed to take the cards, then only the remainder of cards has to be drawn.
* Once someone has no cards remaining in his hand, play stops and we start counting points.
Points:
* Number cards have the face value as the number of points. i.e. number 6 is worth 6 points, number 0 is worth 0 points, number 4 is worth 4 points.
* Skip, reverse and Draw2 are worth 20 points each
* Wild and draw4 are worth 50 points each
Easter Monday Special: Public Speaking and Leadership Training (FREE)
Do you want to become a confident public speaker? To connect and communicate better with others? And have fun? Come and join the Toastmasters of Brussels!
You'll find a supportive learn-by-doing environment.
It doesn't matter if you are an experienced speaker or if you are a beginner. We are there to support you, to make you feel good about yourself and to help you learn in a way that's fun.
Every event we have lovely Table Topic sessions (impromptu speeches) and 3 to 4 prepared speeches.
Through practice, peer evaluation and educational tools, we learn how to present our messages effectively, concisely and professionally.
After the meeting, we usually sit together and socialise at the hotel bar.
Testelt to Aarschot (21km)
A late posting but for those who are still free on Monday let's go for a hike from **Testelt to Aarschot** (\~21km, 160m elevation). We will return to the wetlands in the north-east of Vlaams-Brabant, not too far from Brussels, and explore an area we didn't visit for some time. At the end, we will hopefully find somewhere for an (optional) drink in Aarschot before taking the train back to Brussels.
**The weather forecast is sunny and 14C, but prepared for a shower just in case. The path may be muddy and slippery in places so wear good shoes, preferably walking boots.**
**We will walk at an average speed of 5km/h. This is quite fast.** We will walk both on paved and unpaved roads. I’ve never walked this route before, so it’s possible there are some mistakes in the planning.
**You can find the GPX track here:** [https://mapy.com/s/relasemepa](https://mapy.com/s/relasemepa) (I may still update the route a bit)
**Meeting point and train**
We will meet outside Starbucks in **Brussels Central station at 09:00**.
The train **T18022 (Bierges-Walibi & Ottignies)** leaves from **platform 3 at 9:12** (you can also join this train at Brussels Zuid at 9:07 or Brussels Noord at 9:18).
We arrive in Leuven at **9:35** change on to the **IC 2608 (Aarschot & Genk),** leaving from platform 8 at 9:43. It arrives in Aarschot at 10:06.
**Train tickets**
\- Single Brussels to Testelt\, € 8 or € 4\.80 with Train\+
\- Single Aarschot to Brussels\, € 6\.90 or € 4\.20 with Train\+
You probably want to buy the Train+ card for the price of € 6 (1 month) or € 48 (12 months). It can be bought in the SNCB/NMBS app or at ticket machines.
**Train back to Brussels**
There are connections at xx:14 and xx:36 from Aarchot to Brussels, changing in Leuven and taking \~42 minutes to Central station.
**Specifics**
Distance: \~21 km
Elevation gain: \~160 m
Net walking time: \~5h
Level: ***Easy***
**In the unlikely case of too bad weather, we may cancel a hike, even a few hours before the event. If this happens, we will of course update the Meetup website and send out a message to those registered. So, it is important to have access to either the [Meetup.com](http://Meetup.com) website and/or your email.**
**What to bring**
**\- lunch \- we will *not* stop at a cafe/restaurant for lunch**

Monday Afterwork Socializing
Drinking & Networking in Brussels. For newcomers, temporary in town - couch surfers and regulars to meet & socialize. What a better day to start the week than drinking & socializing starting on Monday evening?
Board and card games at the Café
WHAT we play. As you know, we have two events, one more for social games on Thursday and another for **strategic games** on **Monday**. Depending on what people bring, we may play brainy games, not limited to chess and classic games. So, feel free to bring other ones.
And this is only indicative. Some games like Decrypto fit both events, **and if people feel like playing a social game on Monday or a more strategic one on Thursday, they are free to do so.**
WHERE. Because we have many strategic players on Monday and these games take longer, we moved to a café closing much later than the previous one.
CHATBOX USE. In the event chatbox, you are invited to discuss the games you bring and want to play for this session. The idea is to gather people around game tables beforehand. Of course, it's also possible to show up and arrange this after the introduction round, which starts at 7h15.
HOST. If you want to become a host and have your board game event for a specific game with a small group of people or in another place, Great! Let me know, and I'll help you set up your event with this group. Hosts don't pay fees.
TIMING: Because strategy games are often longer, we start at 7 pm (instead of 8 pm on Thursdays). So, those who play long games can have 3 hours and 30 minutes for their game. You can come later, but you may have to wait before joining a game.
WHERE. We play upstairs. Ask which room at the bar downstairs.
DRINK. You have to order a drink at the bar, pay for it, and come up with it.
**PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, THE AUTOBUS ACCEPTS CASH ONLY.**
EVENT REGISTRATION.
Please register to allow us adequate venue planning.
IN CASE OF A WAITLIST. Please, out of respect for people on the waiting list, don't cancel later than 7 PM the day before so they can plan their evening correctly. If you are on the waiting list, please cancel your attendance if you change your mind and can no longer come.
Don't hesitate to send me a message to comment or make suggestions!
Take care and see you soon!

**Soirée débat — Cuba : l’échec du communisme ? Aux radical-chic européens ne reste-t-il que la Corée du Nord ?**
Cette semaine, notre discussion porte sur Cuba.
Depuis la révolution de 1959, l’île est gouvernée par une dictature communiste.
Pendant des décennies, Cuba a survécu grâce au soutien économique de puissances alliées, d’abord l’Union soviétique, puis le Venezuela, l'Iran, la Chine.
Aujourd’hui, l’économie cubaine traverse une crise profonde : pénuries alimentaires, coupures d’électricité, inflation, migration massive et dépendance énergétique. La fin du soutien pétrolier vénézuélien ont accentué une situation déjà dramatique.
Dans le débat public occidental, Cuba est souvent présentée à travers des récits simplifiés :
– soit comme un symbole romantique de résistance révolutionnaire
– soit comme un exemple caricatural d’échec politique
Notre objectif n’est pas de répéter ces récits.
Notre objectif est de comprendre.
***
### **Topics We Cover**
Nous analyserons la situation cubaine à travers plusieurs angles :
**1\. Le système politique cubain**
Comment un régime communiste à parti unique a-t-il maintenu le pouvoir pendant plus de six décennies ?
**2\. L’économie cubaine et ses limites**
Pourquoi l’économie planifiée cubaine produit-elle pénuries chroniques, dépendance énergétique et faible croissance ?
**3\. Les sanctions américaines**
Quel est l’impact réel de l’embargo américain ?
Affaiblit-il le régime ou renforce-t-il sa légitimité politique ?
**4\. La fin du soutien vénézuélien**
Quel rôle le pétrole subventionné du Venezuela a-t-il joué dans la survie du modèle cubain — et que se passe-t-il lorsque ce soutien disparaît ?
**5\. L’avenir de Cuba**
Transition politique, réforme économique progressive ou stagnation durable ?
***
### **What Makes This Different**
– Nous privilégions les témoignages de personnes originaires ou connaissant directement la région
– Nous examinons ce que les médias simplifient ou ignorent
– Nous encourageons les désaccords argumentés et les perspectives contradictoires
– Nous analysons les intérêts, les rapports de force et les réalités économiques — pas les slogans
Ce n’est pas un espace de propagande.
C’est un espace de réflexion.
***
### **Why This Forum Exists**
À Bruxelles, plusieurs initiatives proposent des débats structurés.
Trop souvent, cependant, un petit cercle détermine les propositions et limite la diversité réelle des conclusions possibles.
Il existe aussi des espaces où la géopolitique se réduit à des slogans anti-américains ou à des indignations partisanes.
Ce forum n’est ni l’un ni l’autre.
Nous accueillons une véritable diversité d’opinions et d’expériences.
Personne ici ne sera exclu pour avoir remis en question un récit dominant.
Les idées se confrontent librement.
Les attaques personnelles ne sont pas tolérées.
***
### **Motions & Proposals Welcome**
Nous encourageons les participants à proposer des motions de débat.
Une motion doit être formulée avec sérieux :
– une thèse claire
– un minimum de contexte historique ou juridique
– une compréhension des enjeux géopolitiques
Les propositions destinées à stimuler la réflexion sont bienvenues.
Les slogans et provocations faciles ne le sont pas.
***
### **Languages**
La langue dépendra des participants présents.
Les débats se déroulent généralement en anglais et en français, mais nous pouvons accueillir d’autres langues lorsque cela est possible.
Langues actuellement possibles :
– English
– Français
– Nederlands
– Español
– Italiano
– Русский
– Farsi
L’objectif est la compréhension, pas la pureté linguistique.
***
### **What We Ask of Participants**
– Venez pour comprendre, pas pour “gagner” un débat
– Soyez ouverts à des perspectives qui contredisent les vôtres
– Parlez avec des faits, du contexte et de l’histoire
– Si vous proposez un sujet, venez préparé
– Critiquez les idées, jamais les personnes
– Pas de censure des opinions
– Pas d’attaques personnelles
– Pas de diffamation
Le désaccord est normal.
La paresse intellectuelle ne l’est pas.
***
### **This is not a dating meetup**
Tous les espaces sociaux ne sont pas destinés à flirter ou à chercher des opportunités romantiques.
Si vous considérez ce forum comme un terrain de drague ou que vous faites des avances non désirées, vous n’avez pas compris le but de ce groupe.
La conversation vient d’abord.
Les idées viennent d’abord.
Le respect vient d’abord.
***
### **Location & RSVP**
L’événement aura lieu à Ixelles, dans un bar public.
Pour préserver la qualité et la sécurité de la discussion, le lieu exact est communiqué uniquement aux participants confirmés via notre groupe WhatsApp.
👉 Pour RSVP et recevoir le lieu :
https://chat.whatsapp.com/LX7UkWGZ3UdLQWLBvNdezN
L’objectif n’est pas l’exclusivité.
L’objectif est une discussion sérieuse entre personnes capables de réfléchir librement.
The goal is not exclusivity, but accountability and quality of discussion.
If this format doesn’t suit you, this event may not be the right fit.

Humanist Program
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online

Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able!
Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!
Rave Curious? Jessica Audiffred @ Otherworld
Have you always wanted to check out a rave… but didn’t know where to start?
This is your chance.
Whether you're a seasoned headbanger or completely new, we’d love to have you out.
On April 11, Jessica Audiffred is taking over Otherworld — and this is *not* your typical venue. It’s a massive immersive art space filled with surreal rooms, hidden passages, and interactive exhibits… and for this show, almost all of it is open.
So you’re not just going to a concert — you’re stepping into an environment:
🎧 A high-energy bass set that you *feel*
🌀 A labyrinth of trippy, explorable art spaces
👯♂️ A group to go with so you’re not figuring it out alone
You can lose yourself in the crowd, disappear into another room, find something completely unexpected, and then come back right as the drop hits.
No pressure, no “right way” to do it — just explore, move, and take it in at your own pace.
📍 Otherworld, Columbus
🗓 April 11
🕙 Doors open at 10:15 PM (music does not start in the exhibit space until 10:30 PM.)
If you’ve been even a little curious about what this scene is like, this is one of the most unique ways to experience it.
RSVP if you’re in 👇
There’s no cost to attend with the group—just the event ticket for Otherworld. Tickets are $40, plus some fees 🙄.
You can use code "BassBuds" or "Bangers" for $5 off, which makes it \~$43 out the door.

Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup (2nd Tues)
Jimmy V's Grill & Pub in Grandview Heights. You are responsible for your own meal/drinks. We usually don't have any agenda other than eat, drink and talk. :) If the weather is nice we will be on the back patio, otherwise we are in the cigar room.
This group has been meeting every Tuesday evening for over a decade. Many attendees do not RSVP on meetup. Please don't let the small number here discourage you. Anyone/everyone is welcome to come. We'd love to have you join us.
COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant.
***
Did you know that there are atheists everywhere?!?! You may not know it, but we are! We're in your schools, diners, police force, military, government, and some are even still in your churches! So come and join us and meet other local atheists, along with agnostics, heathens, humanists, skeptics, and anyone else who's 'hell bound'!
Vision: a Central Ohio that accepts atheism as a viable alternative in all areas of public and private life.
Mission: grow, support, and provide community for atheists in Central Ohio.
Social meetings held most Tuesdays at a local pub/restaurant at 7:00 PM (and often into the wee hours). Attendees call themselves agnostics, skeptics, humanists, non-theists, deists or even theists. All attendees are welcome but should support our vision.
Atheists of Columbus (AoC) is part of Omnipresent Atheists (OA). AoC members are invited to join this OA meetup and/or OA Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/omnipresentatheists/ ) but are free to continue conversations on the AoC Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/columbusatheists/ ). AoC was founded in 2012 as a networking, social group for Central Ohio area humanists, skeptics, atheists, agnostics, nonbelievers, freethinkers, and the curious. It was a member of Columbus CoR and held weekly meetings, mostly on Fridays, for several years but then operated as an online only group for some time. In November 2018, Omnipresent Atheists (OA), a group that routinely meets on Tuesdays, invited AoC to merge.
