Fiction

The Man from Earth – réalisé par Richard Schenkman en 2007 – s’articule autour de l’idée que la connaissance, les croyances et l’histoire sont façonnées autant par la perspective que par les faits. À travers une conversation simple, il remet en question les idées reçues sur l’immortalité, la religion et la vérité, suggérant que même les convictions les plus profondément ancrées peuvent être ébranlées lorsqu’elles sont confrontées à de nouvelles possibilités. 🗓️ LUNDI 4 MAI de 19H à 21H30 📍 58 rue Richer 75009 Paris 🔴 entrée = 1 boisson 🌐 visitez www.thedissidentclub.org pour plus d’informations

## Details Hello writers, we are happy to meet you in our new permanent home: Bohème Coworking, located at 21 rue Sedaine in the 11th arrondissement. When you arrive, just tell the friendly folks at La Boheme reception that you are with the writing group. They will give you a little wooden knick-knack with the wifi codes and a number that they use to determine the cost based on time spent (it's 3,80 € per hour, paid at the end). ***Now, about Ready-Set-Write! ..*.** Ready Set Write! is a regular meeting of motivated writers who grab a beverage, then shut up and write. ***What it is:*** An opportunity for writers to get together and do short, intense bursts of writing. We write for 45-ish minutes, take a 15 minute break, rinse & repeat. ***What it is NOT:*** neither a forum for critiquing each other's work, nor shameless self-promoting your projects or groups. You pay for the time you spend, and have access to coffee, tea, and wifi. **AND FINALLY ...** * Register in advance, and only if you will join us in-person. * Update your RSVP if you cannot make it. * Please be respectful and considerate with our writing colleagues. ***Stay tuned for location updates!***

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.

Chér.e.s Group Elements, (Oui, comme dans un groupe mathématique 🧮🙂) Retrouvons-nous pour assister à cette conférence assez fascinante (et informative !) sur « **Sonder la nature de l'énergie noire avec le projet DESI »** par Pauline Zarouk (Laboratoire de Physique Nucléaire et de Hautes Énergies) 🌌 🌌 **Voici la description :** 🔭 DESI est un relevé spectroscopique de dernière génération dont le but est de sonder la nature de l'énergie noire, cette mystérieuse composante qui serait responsable de l'accélération de l'expansion de l'Univers observée à la fin des années 90 et dont le mécanisme demeure encore aujourd'hui l'une des plus grandes énigmes de la cosmologie moderne. 🗺️ DESI a débuté ses observations en mai 2021 et va collecter les spectres de plus de 60 millions de galaxies en 8 ans d'observations afin d'établir une cartographie 3D des grandes structures de l'Univers la plus précise. En effet, la façon dont les galaxies sont réparties dans le ciel nous renseigne sur plusieurs propriétés de l'Univers, comme la vitesse à laquelle il s'étend ou encore la vitesse à laquelle les galaxies se forment sous l'effet de la gravité. 🎙️ Au cours de cette conférence, je présenterai notre histoire cosmique basée sur des observations et sur un modèle cosmologique, puis la quête de la nature de l'énergie noire et enfin le projet DESI ainsi que ses derniers résultats. 📝 ~~Lien d'inscription~~ — **déjà complet** au moment de la publication ! Mais ne vous laissez pas décourager : **même si le lien indique que c'est complet, il est souvent encore possible de trouver une place en arrivant un peu en avance (par 19h10)** 🍀 La conférence est prévue pour commencer à 19h30.

Indeed, the way galaxies are distributed across the sky informs us about several properties of the Universe, such as the rate at which it expands and the rate at which galaxies form under the influence of Gravity. 🎙️ During this talk, I will first present our cosmic history based on observations and on a cosmological model, then the quest to understand the nature of dark energy, and finally the DESI project and its latest results. 📝 ~~Registration link~~ — **already full as of posting!** But don't let that stop you: **Even if the registration appears full when you follow the link, it’s usually still possible to get seats if you arrive early (by 7:10 pm)** 🍀 The talk is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. You can still check here in case spots open up: [https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/](https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/) [https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/form_reservation_conference.php](https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/form_reservation_conference.php) [https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/resumes2026.html](https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/resumes2026.html) ▶️ And the session will also be available **live and replay** on IAP's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@InstitutdAstrophysiquedeParis 📍 **Acces**: https://www.iap.fr/accueil/acces/acces-fr.html 🍺It usually lasts 60–90 minutes.

Attend a free seminar on how to have successful and lasting relationships. At this seminar you will learn: How to spot and handle negative and toxic relationships. How to get through the "rough patches" in a relationship. How to choose the right people to work with. The three things that make or break any relationship. How to make a good relationship great. All are welcome. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. Hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Join us for Mercy of the Gods by James S. A. Corey. How humanity came to the planet called Anjiin is lost in the fog of history, but that history is about to end. The Carryx - part empire, part hive - have waged wars of conquest for centuries, destroying or enslaving species across the galaxy. Now, they are facing a great and deathless enemy. The key to their survival may rest with the humans of Anjiin. Caught up in academic intrigue and affairs of the heart, Dafyd Alkhor is pleased just to be an assistant to a brilliant scientist and his celebrated research team. Then the Carryx ships descend, decimating the human population and taking the best and brightest of Anjiin society away to serve on the Carryx homeworld, and Dafyd is swept along with them. They are dropped in the middle of a struggle they barely understand, set in a competition against the other captive species with extinction as the price of failure. Only Dafyd and a handful of his companions see past the Darwinian contest to the deeper game that they must play to learning to understand - and manipulate - the Carryx themselves. With a noble but suicidal human rebellion on one hand and strange and murderous enemies on the other, the team pays a terrible price to become the trusted servants of their new rulers. Dafyd Alkhor is a simple man swept up in events that are beyond his control and more vast than his imagination. He will become the champion of humanity and its betrayer, the most hated man in history and the guardian of his people. This is where his story begins.

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. 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.
