### 为什么练习霎哈嘉瑜伽？ 在繁忙的都市生活中，我们往往忽略了身、心、灵的健康。霎哈嘉瑜伽冥想恰恰是现代人的需求。它给予我们瑜伽，即天人合一的状态，通过精微能量来帮助我们恢复内在的平衡。这个修复是自然而然的。 这个力量是我们内在精微系统的一部分，其中还包括了七个能量中心和三条经脉。当我们处于平衡的状态，我们并不受过去或者未来的影响，也能处于无思无虑的状态。而这个力量在梵文中指的是“昆达里尼”。 “霎哈嘉”指的是自然而然，而“瑜伽”的意思是连接联合的状态。霎哈嘉瑜伽仅涉及冥想，并不涉及任何体位瑜伽。 我们的课程： 每逢星期四傍晚7点半 地点：AZ building, 140 Paya Lebar Road, #07-15 Singapore 409015 报名方式：请联系杨小姐（98564587)

We are bringing the worlds of **Observability** and **Cloud** together. You can expect a mix of sessions covering architectural deep dives, cloud best practices, and advanced monitoring techniques. **🚀 Grafana Feature Session:** **Topic:** **Lessons from Simulating AWS T3 CPU Throttling** **Speaker:** Goh Chun Lin – Grafana & Friends Community Lead, Singapore **Synopsis:** We often use AWS burstable instances (T3/T4g) to save money, but "Unlimited Mode" can mask architectural inefficiencies by converting performance bottlenecks into silent financial debt. In this session, we go beyond standard metrics to demonstrate **Predictive Engineering**. We will show how to use **Grafana** to visualise invisible infrastructure limits and expose the true cost of performance and how to use **Discrete Event Simulation** to predict architectural breaking points as well. **🤝 Full Agenda:** In addition to the Grafana session, we will be joined by speakers invited by the AWS User Group sharing insights on cloud and infrastructure at scale. **👉 Please check the [Main Registration Page](https://www.meetup.com/aws-sg/events/312539597) for the complete lineup of speakers and topics as they are announced!** See you there!

Systemic family constellation was founded by Bert Hellinger (and I trained with him and many other practitioners). It uses energy and subtle movement and invites healing. Those with issues offer a question and participants are selected to move into the circle as 'representatives' of people or issues. Then an amazing unfolding occurs in which knowledge arrives quietly and 'unknots' the glitches of the past' - our ancestry and the difficulties we carry in our familial lines. Few words, just trust and patience... come and see. You could google this but experiencing it is quite a unique experience which provides information about past problems that affect your harmony today - generating a gentle unravelling which provides more optimistic futures. There is no charge but if you are able a donation to the room costs is very welcome

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.
