Blood on the Clocktower in english (intermediate - BMR)
Blood on the Clocktower in english (intermediate - BMR)
**Attention: exceptionnellement les parties seront en anglais.** **An evening of bluff, deception and deduction!** Open to players who have at least one game of Blood on the Clocktower and want to explore more intricate scripts. You'll be taking on the role of one of Ravenswood Bluff's inhabitants and bluff, investigate, and work as a team to shed a light on what demonic forces have taken over the villagers. Or play for evil and work in the shadows to sow lies and distrust as you watch the town tear itself appart. * **We advise our players to have some experienced with the game. Bad Moon Rising is a chaotic game of deaths (multiple!) and resurrections (sometimes!) that is sure to prove a fun and messy puzzle to solve.** A storyteller/game-master will be there to answer all your questions and make sure everyone is having a good time. * We will be playing at Les Caves Alliées, a medieval bar in Paris 6th. * Participation is free but we are in a bar, so don't forget to order something. They have a large choice of beers, softs, medieval drinks and snacks. Check out some information on Bad Moon Rising roles and more here: https://wiki.bloodontheclocktower.com/Bad_Moon_Rising

Atelier collaboratif pour entrepreneurs:  Codev
Atelier collaboratif pour entrepreneurs: Codev
*Atelier de flash co développement · 3 participants · 2h. Gratuit.* *** Entreprendre, c'est trop souvent réfléchir seul. Ce sujet qui tourne en boucle, cette décision qu'on reporte, ce blocage qu'on n'arrive pas à nommer — et personne avec qui vraiment le déposer. **Et si 2h avec d'autres entrepreneurs suffisaient à t'apporter plus de clarté, des pistes pour avancer — et la satisfaction d'avoir contribué à faire grandir les autres ?** **Mon invitation** Un moment humain, chaleureux et collaboratif — "hors du temps", loin du quotidien de nos activités. Pour structurer notre réflexion collective, nous utiliserons la méthodologie du co développement professionnel, une approche qui permet d'améliorer ses pratiques, ses compétences et son leadership. On ne donne pas de conseils à tout va. On réfléchit ensemble, on co-construit, on tisse du lien. Chacun contribue, chacun grandit. **Comment ça se passe** 3 participants · 1 sujet par personne · 25 minutes chacun. Tour à tour, chaque participant s'en remet à la sagesse du groupe. Le temps de votre tour, vous déposez votre sujet. Le groupe écoute, questionne, réfléchit avec vous — pour que vous puissiez, par résonance, accéder à votre propre clarté et faire émerger vos propres clés. Tout le monde repart entendu, soutenu — et ayant vraiment contribué. **Venez avec** Un sujet professionnel réel — un blocage, un questionnement, une décision difficile. Veillez à ne pas inclure d'informations confidentielles. Le lien de connexion vous sera envoyé par message ⚠️ Si moins de 2 participants sont inscrits 24h avant l'atelier, je me réserve le droit d'annuler l'événement. *** ✺ 3 participants maximum ✺ Cet atelier s'adresse particulièrement aux entrepreneurs en phase de lancement ou de développement — ceux qui construisent, qui cherchent leur chemin, qui avancent pas à pas.
Lean & Agile : structurer la performance des équipes tech
Lean & Agile : structurer la performance des équipes tech
Operae Partners, expert du Lean Management dans la Tech, l’IT et les services, accueille Flowcon dans ses locaux parisiens. Operae est membre du groupe de conseil Cubik, dédié à la performance par la transformation des opérations. **📆 Description** Dans un contexte où les équipes engineering doivent délivrer vite, avec qualité et un impact mesurable, la question n’est plus “faut-il être Agile ?” mais : comment structurer un système de travail réellement efficace ? Le Lean, historiquement centré sur la création de valeur et l’élimination du gaspillage, apporte un cadre puissant pour repenser l’organisation du travail. L’Agile, quant à lui, met l’accent sur l’adaptation, la collaboration et l’amélioration continue. Mais comment ces approches se complètent-elles concrètement dans une équipe tech ? Comment éviter les rituels déconnectés de la valeur ? Comment mettre en place une démarche Lean sans alourdir l’organisation ? Lors de cette soirée, nos deux intervenants partageront leurs retours d’expérience sur l’articulation entre Lean et Agile et sur la mise en place concrète du Lean dans des équipes engineering. L’objectif : comprendre, questionner, et repartir avec des pistes applicables dans vos organisations. **⏳ Déroulé de l'évènement** 18h30 - 19h : Accueil 19h - 19h30 : talk d'Emmanuel Richard - le Lean et l'Agile s'entraident pour soutenir les développeurs et satisfaire les clients 19h30 - 20h : talk d'Antoine Bordas - Du flux local au système global : réussir le Lean Tech à l’échelle 20h - 21h : apéritifs et networking **🎤 Les speakers** Emmanuel Richard : Coach Lean IT Senior chez Operae Partners (Groupe Cubik) Antoine Bordas : Head of Lean Tech Advisory

Writers' On-Line Feedback Session via Zoom
This group is for anyone interested in writing in English, whether it be prose or poetry or non-fiction. We get together once a week to listen, critique and support each other in our work. Attendees bring something they have written, six copies, printed out and no longer than seven pages, which they read aloud. They then receive feedback from the rest of the group. The size of the group is limited to 6, so that everyone is able to receive a full 30 minutes of constructive feedback including reading time. If you have nothing to read but would like to come and listen, you are most welcome too. We are an anglophone group and everything is conducted in English, in fact not everyone who comes can speak French. Please bear this in mind if you sign up.

COURS - Pieds, placement au sol
COURS - Pieds, placement au sol
En mars, on fait des pieds et des mains! Ces fameuses zones d'interface avec le monde sont faites pour s'y adapter, et prennent donc d'innombrables formes, qui les rendent notoirement difficiles à dessiner et à imaginer. Sur cette troisième séance, nous dessinerons les pieds à partir de la place qu'ils occupent au sol, ce qui nous aidera en même temps à les construire, et à donner à notre modèle davantage de poids et de réalité dans l'espace. On se retrouve à 19h30, mais qui veut peut arriver au local à partir de 19h pour grignoter, discuter! Il y aura du thé et du café pour qui veut, il faut retirer ses chaussures car c'est une salle de danse (donc les bottes à lacets attendront une autre soirée). Paiement en espèces (25€), sur place, et il y aura un chapeau pour qui veut donner un peu plus au modèle! Le matériel n'est pas fourni. Hâte de vous y voir! 🙂

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**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 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
Free In-Person Meeting: Healing from Trauma and Past Betrayals
Free In-Person Meeting: Healing from Trauma and Past Betrayals
This is a free, in person meeting. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us.
