This is an event for deep thinkers who enjoy deep discussions. No prior knowledge of philosophy is required. In the first segment of this event, we shall have a group discussion on randomly selected topics. In the second segment of the event, we shall discuss a short philosophical article after reading it. Please note that this event has a fee of AED 30.

*Canvas & Contemplation: Deep Reflections Through Paintings* **Fee:** AED 30 **Duration:** 2 hours **Format:** Two paintings, one per hour — deep group discussion follows each What happens when philosophy meets paint and canvas? Welcome to **Canvas & Contemplation: Deep Reflections Through Paintings**, a unique gathering where we explore the profound connection between visual art and the human experience. Each session, we’ll sit with two powerful artworks — not to critique them like art historians, but to let them speak to our minds and souls. You'll be surprised by the range of interpretations one painting can evoke — where one person sees despair, another may find hope; where one sees chaos, another finds divine order. This is a space for meaningful, respectful conversation that opens us up to new perspectives and helps us see more — in the art, and in ourselves. Whether you're a philosopher at heart, an artist in spirit, or simply curious about how we see and feel, this event offers a space to slow down, look deeply, and think together. **Come with an open mind, leave with new eyes.** **Whatsapp group link**: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FytQQgS85I61vS6nkduLm5

You know that thing where you spend ages DMing someone, finally meet them in person… and then end up getting stalked for the next two months? 😅 **[https://eseek.app](https://eseek.app) => better solution.** Instead, women stay anonymous and meet people through events. 🎉 Both men and women can create events. Men can write full descriptions about themselves, while anonymous female profiles can browse, search, and invite men to upcoming events. 👀 Men will show up if they think women there are actually interested in them. 😉 Women meet multiple men you are interested in, while staying anonymous, invite them to an event instead. The event host is basically Tinder — generally men pay the event host for organizing / free for women. 👍 The host then sends bulk DMs to everyone who liked the event with the details. 📩 Event hosts keeps thing structured and safe they are the trusted third party. Meet naturally at events. Women meet the men you want all at once, invite them to an event. **Summary**: **women anonymous - so safe,** men don't even know you DMed them before the event. Men will go to the event if women invited them. **Hosts:** your chance to be the next tinder, create 2 second events, get likes on your event post. Organize easily with bulk DMs to send invites, show up and collect cash. **Men** if you can't pay the host money for organizing and hosting, its the perfect female filter to remove you!

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.
