Would you like to enhance your creativity, confidence and increase your awareness? We’d love you to join us to Thoughtstorm® the topic International Day of Happiness in the warm, friendly environment of the Yarraville Community Centre. How Thoughtstorm came about Thoughtstorm is a technique developed from a seed of speculation: are there more effective (rational, cooperative, compassionate) ways of thinking? Methods whose long-term consequences will not lead to oblivion. This is the genesis of Thoughtstorm. What is it? For anyone with an interest in leadership, deeper conversations or creative problem solving, something much more than a group discussion occurs. What is experienced in Thoughtstorm is a forgotten sensory ability - mind-linking. An evolution in human thinking and learning. The direction moves from a narrow range of possibility into discovering corecepts, when individual minds merge into a much more powerful collective awareness and experience a deeper, more compassionate comprehension of reality. Corecepts trigger intuitive recognition and agreement by the group, a ‘Why, of course!’ reaction. New insights guaranteed! Because this process taps into abilities already present in the human mind and into aggregates of consciousness straining to express themselves, very little practice is required. Would you like to see and understand things in a way that is new for all of us? Would you like to develop your consciousness and your creative intelligence? Would you like to be inspired to create positive change? Then come and join us to Thoughtstorm together. If it’s your first time to Thoughtstorm, please RSVP early to give plenty of time to arrange a brief prep call on Zoom to go over the Thoughtstorm procedures so we can all get started on time together. **Agenda:** 6.30pm - Arrive, meet and greet, read over Thoughtstorm instructions 6.45pm - Begin the Thoughtstorm 7.45pm - Finish When you RSVP we will be in touch with the details. We look forward to seeing you there! Thoughtstorm® is a registered trademark of Star's Edge, Inc. All rights reserved.

Oh well my ex boss after appearing on the latest Horrible Bosses film had me shall we say not happy. Firstly 6 months to replace my uniform then getting me to do a medical immediately after my mother died. And then after that getting me to go to an audiologist after not even having a hearing test in the medical. Then I find out my mother has left me a heap of money so I make the monumental decision I've had enough and decide to retire. So come along to this epic event Andrew's Retirement Party. Located in Cheltenham, The Garden is an intimate tapas & wine bar perfect for your next night out. The Garden of Good & Evil opened in April 2014 and is located on Station Road in bayside Cheltenham. Whether it's a casual catch up with mates on a Sunday afternoon, family celebrations, drinks after work or a romantic dinner for two, we do it all.. Boasting a vast selection of unique cocktails, boutique beers, local wines & seasonal tapas, The Garden will not disappoint. Step through the doors and you’ll feel you’re anywhere but suburban Melbourne. Drink in hand, grab a seat along the brick wall or head towards the back of the dining room, where you'll find the entrance to the garden. More intimate than your regular beer garden, it's comfortable even during the winter months. The menu is Spanish influenced, borrowing here and there from Southern American and Mexican cuisine, too. If you're after something sweet, look no further than the churros with caramelised condensed milk. Here is a copy of the menu.

Dear property investor, **Note: please [register](https://events.resultsmentoring.com/escape.html?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=drn) to attend the workshop via Zoom.** If current market uncertainty has been making you hesitate or second-guess your next move, you’re not alone. Today's rate increase. Oil prices. Inflation pressure. Tax-policy debate. More noise, more uncertainty, and more investors sitting on their hands waiting for things to feel clearer. But **doing nothing is not a strategy**. That’s exactly why our sponsors at Results Mentoring are running a free live online workshop this Saturday: **Escape the Rat Race with Property in Uncertain Times** Saturday 21 March 10:00am-12:00pm AEDT **[Reserve your free seat here](https://events.resultsmentoring.com/escape.html?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=drn)** This session will be especially relevant if you’re trying to work out what to do next as an investor, renovator or developer. The Results team will cover: • why having your own **financial freedom plan** is even more important with the current economic uncertainty. • how big your portfolio needs to be to **replace your income** and **escape the rat race** • how to decide whether your next move should focus on **growth, cash flow**, or an **active deal** • which property strategies still make sense even if **tax settings change** • what real investors are doing right now to build **positive cash flow, faster equity growth**, and in some cases **6-figure profits in months** — or a path to **quitting their jobs within 5-10 years** And importantly, this won’t just be theory. They’ll unpack real case studies showing how Results members are applying these strategies in the current market. If you want more clarity, more confidence, and a better framework for your next move, join the online workshop this Saturday. **[Reserve your free seat here](https://events.resultsmentoring.com/escape.html?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=drn)**[ ](https://events.resultsmentoring.com/escape.html?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=drn) Best regards, – Tony **P.S.** Property investors who succeed long-term don’t wait for certainty — they build a plan and execute it. This workshop will show you **how to build that plan.**

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
