Τα τακούνια ξαναχτυπούν πλακόστρωτο και η The Devil Wears Prada 2 έρχεται να μας βάλει ξανά στον λαμπερό, χαοτικό κόσμο της μόδας, εκεί όπου τα βλέμματα είναι πιο κοφτερά κι από editorial review και η Meryl Streep συνεχίζει να σε παγώνει μόνο με μία ατάκα. Αυτή τη φορά η Andy επιστρέφει πιο ώριμη, πιο sharp και πολύ λιγότερο διατεθειμένη να λέει “yes, Miranda”. Μέσα σε glossy ίντριγκες, fashion shows, old rivalries και το χάος του σύγχρονου media κόσμου, η ταινία παίζει ανάμεσα στη νοσταλγία των 00s και στη σημερινή υπερβολή της εικόνας, των trends και της δύναμης. Και honestly… τι καλύτερο από το να το ζήσεις αυτό σε θερινό; 🌙 Η ζέστη αρχίζει να γίνεται γλυκιά, η Αθήνα μυρίζει καλοκαίρι, τα ποτά παγώνουν, και εμείς θα βρεθούμε κάτω από τα δέντρα της Aegli Zappiou Cinema για ένα από εκείνα τα βράδια που μοιάζουν λίγο με ταινία από μόνα τους. 🍷 Μετά την προβολή, συνεχίζουμε με ποτό και κουβέντα. **Κυριακή \| 20:45** Μπορείτε να κλείσετε τα εισιτήρια σας εδώ : https://www.more.com/gr-el/tickets/cinema/aigli-cinema/ Έλα στην παρέα — οι καλύτερες ταινίες βλέπονται μαζί. ‼️**Παρακαλούμε θερμά:** Αν δηλώσεις συμμετοχή και τελικά δεν μπορείς να έρθεις, **φρόντισε να ακυρώσεις εγκαίρως** — μας βοηθά πολύ στον καλύτερο συντονισμό και την οργάνωση της βραδιάς. Συνήθως έρχομαι αργοπορημένη στα events που διοργανώνω!!! οπότε μπείτε , καθίστε και θα συναντηθούμε στο τέλος της προβολής στο ταμείο του κινηματογράφου!!

Join me for a small, mindful photography walk in nature. (**NOTE Time is 9:00 AM EST(Meetup is having technical Issue))** This is a slow, intentional gathering — not focused on fitness or perfect photography — but on simply pausing, observing, and being present. We’ll walk at a gentle pace, with moments of quiet, and a few light prompts to help you notice details you might normally miss. 📷 You don’t need any photography experience — a phone camera is enough. This is also not a business networking event. It’s a calm space to connect with nature and, if it feels natural, with like-minded people. 🌿 What to expect: • A slow-paced, relaxed walk • Moments of silence and observation • Simple reflection prompts 📍 Location: [ Red Trabue Nature Preserve] ⏱ Duration: \~60 minutes This is a small, initial gathering as I begin creating this space through WellGratiVibes — a blend of mindfulness, nature, and quiet connection. If this resonates with you, you’re welcome to join.

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.

When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches. * **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason. * **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes. ## Discussion Questions 1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie. 2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?** 3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome? 4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend? 5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles? 6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way? 7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time? 8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** TBD **YouTube Link** TBD

**Latest Dojo Location!** **Knotty Pine Brewing** 1765 W 3rd Ave, Columbus, OH 43212 We're going to try a new dojo location for a few weeks and see how it works Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead. We're looking for speakers for our Monthly Meetups! Fill out the form if you are interested in presenting to the Python Community. https://forms.gle/ehSfUAC2WgR34Crq9
