**Hi Everyone! 🏮** CNY Day 1 is the perfect time for a quiet day of rest and enjoying the "festive silence" of Singapore. Use it to recharge and treat yourself to some peace. But by **Day 2**, let’s get together! Let’s leave the house, breathe in the fresh air, and make sure we are **Solo No More**. As someone who runs these paths regularly, I want to show you why Fort Canning is the heart of our city. It’s a beautiful escape right in the center—actually, the story of Singapore city starts right here. From the hilltop, you can see a perfect overview of our city skyline. **What we will do:** * **The "City to Hill" Walk:** We’ll meet in the city and walk toward the greenery, crossing from the modern streets into the ancient "Forbidden Hill." * **History & Stories:** I’ll share some fascinating history along the way—from the ancient kings who lived here to the old fort gates. * **Nature & Photo Stops:** We will "smell the nature" and stop at my favorite spots for photos when the sunset light is at its best. * **The Stroll:** This is a relaxed walk to enjoy the breeze and the company. No rushing! * **What to bring:** Bring a bottle of water and your best camera-phone! 💧📸 * **After-Walk:** We will end near Clarke Quay for a riverside drink or a casual bite for anyone who wants to keep the conversation going. * **Why walk with us?"** Many of us spend our days leading businesses or managing careers alone. But a journey is always better when you share the footprints. This is a chance to step away from the screen, 'smell the nature,' and connect with fellow professionals and entrepreneurs without the pressure of a boardroom. It costs nothing but your time, and the fresh air is on the house!

**Abstract:** The Advanced Photon Source (APS) is an X-ray light source at Argonne National Laboratory where researchers perform imaging, diffraction and spectroscopy experiments at 68 specialized beamlines. APS recently completed a major upgrade that made it the brightest synchrotron in the world and upgraded many of the beamlines to take advantage of the dramatically brighter, more coherent beam. These new capabilities are increasing the facility’s raw data production from <10 PB/year before the upgrade to >100 PB/year once all instruments are back online. To meet this data challenge, the APS Beamline Data Pipeline project team is partnering with beamline staff to develop and deploy science data pipelines that use a common set of open-source software tools (many written in Python) to link instruments with the Polaris supercomputer at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) for data processing. This talk will describe the APS data systems, our file-based and streaming pipeline templates, and some of the open-source software we use to extract scientific insights from beamline data. **Audience Takeaway:** Open source Python data acquisition and analysis tools are ubiquitous at the APS. Many of the packages that are mentioned can be found at [https://github.com/AdvancedPhotonSource](https://github.com/AdvancedPhotonSource). This is a *hybrid* event. To attend online, join us on Zoom here at 6pm: [https://numfocus-org.zoom.us/j/89399976851?pwd=UEgMUZXdYmKdK1x1dIPL6hwUYnp7NW.1](https://numfocus-org.zoom.us/j/89399976851?pwd=UEgMUZXdYmKdK1x1dIPL6hwUYnp7NW.1) **Sponsor**: Grainger will provide the meeting site, as well as snacks for the onsite participants. * **Address:** 222 W Merchandise Mart Plaza, 18th Floor, Chicago, IL 60654 * **Grainger's Overview:** W.W.

Combined with our [LLM scaffolds](https://dlthub.com/workspace) and [MCP server](https://dlthub.com/docs/hub/features/mcp-server), you can build a custom connector for any of the 8k+ available sources in 10 minutes by following this guide. Building with LLMs is an iterative process. We will follow this general workflow and give practical tips for each step."
