Working with both Microsoft Fabric / OneLake and Power Platform / Dataverse, and wondering how to get the most value from both platforms together? In this session, Jon will explore the different ways these platforms can integrate, from moving and synchronising data between environments to accessing and leveraging data across both ecosystems. The session will also touch on Dynamics integration scenarios, write-back capabilities, triggers, and other practical integration approaches. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how Microsoft Fabric and Power Platform can work together to create more connected and scalable solutions. **Agenda:** 1. PBI News - Vusi Masimula 2. OneLake & Dataverse Integration - Jon Vöge **Logistics:** * Format: Hybrid (remotely and in person) * In Person: Entelect (Boardroom TBC) * Remote: Now on Teams [here](https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/363659556021464?p=D4xuKQvRx8Jn5YQ6Pp) (Meeting ID: 363 659 556 021 464, Passcode: ZZ6tu7Ci) * As usual, pizza and refreshments will be served for those attending in person.

*Note: this is a demonstration event only, you **will not** shoot you own images. However, if you bring your camera we can test it for compatibility with the studio lights.* Bondage elements can add an extra layer of emotion and artistry to your images. Sample images on the internet are however dominated by BDSM style shots that are often sexualized and emphasize the model being in distress. In this demonstration Rachel and I show ways to use bondage elements in an artistic way. We explore the types of accessories that work best in artistic images and the best way to photograph them. Our model is Rachel Adams, an internationally known fetish model with many years of experience in this genre.

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who enjoy talking to people from other countries, and those who would like to discuss international travel and culture, and who enjoy getting together for good conversations."

I have been studying the question of "self" online with Prof. Ellie Anderson and so I thought a prompt on the "self" might be interesting. Full confession: I had Claude create this prompt and I like it, so here goes: Imagine a thought experiment that merges two classic puzzles: > You undergo a procedure, performed neuron by neuron, in which every biological component of your brain is replaced with a functionally identical synthetic substitute. At each step, your behavior, memories, and personality remain unchanged. When the last neuron is swapped, is the consciousness experiencing the world still you? And — more pressingly — was there ever a continuous "you" to begin with? ### Questions to Wrestle With * If consciousness is purely physical, does the *gradual* nature of the replacement matter, or is it equivalent to being destroyed and rebuilt? * Could there be a "self" without continuity of experience — even moment to moment, while you sleep? On a more practical level, consider the simpler case first: **hemispherectomy** patients — people who have had an entire cerebral hemisphere surgically removed — often retain a strong sense of personal identity and continuity. This suggests "you" are not rigidly tied to specific physical material. But does that vindicate the synthetic neuron case, or merely show that identity is more *flexible* than we thought — not that it can survive *complete* substrate replacement? I used Claude so I could get this out today and let everyone have some time to consider it. Hope to see you at the Oracle. Sorry about the location change two weeks ago. That's what I get for trusting local weather predictions!
