Can crime be predicted by algorithms? And if so, should we use them to prevent crimes from happening? This question has fueled many dystopian works of fiction, such as **Minority Report**, which imagines a technology capable of predicting crimes in precise detail and raises fundamental questions about free will and individual responsibility. **Person of Interest** explores a more realistic scenario, where machine learning and mass surveillance are used to identify high-risk individuals through the monitoring of communications. Many episodes of **Black Mirror** similarly examine the consequences of predictive technologies and their impact on privacy, liberty, and social control. A common theme emerges from these stories: such technologies are often portrayed not as tools of public safety, but as threats to freedom and democracy. Yet the idea is not purely fictional. While no system today can predict crimes with the certainty depicted in science fiction, predictive algorithms are already being used in various aspects of law enforcement and criminal justice. **COMPAS**, for example, has been used in American courts to estimate the likelihood that a defendant will reoffend. **Geolitica**, formerly known as **PredPol**, uses historical crime data to forecast crime hotspots and guide police deployment. More broadly, advances in artificial intelligence, big data, and digital surveillance continue to expand our ability to identify patterns in human behavior. Some even point to the Chinese **Social Credit System** as an example of how large-scale data collection can be used to monitor and influence citizens. Now that the technological capabilities have already been laid out, should we, as a society, pursue the endeavor of developing a predictive algorithm that would allow us to prevent crime? Or is there a moral imperative that prevents us from doing so? Join us as we debate whether predictive crime technology represents the future of public safety or the first step toward a surveillance dystopia. This debate will follow a British Parliamentary format with eight debaters split into **four teams of two.** Participants who wish to speak are highly encouraged to bring a paper and pen. You are welcome to participate even if you have no prior debating experience. We aim for debates that are respectful, constructive, and welcoming: * **Respect ideas and people** Listen actively, stay quiet while others speak, and debate arguments, not identities or beliefs. * **Be concise and civil** Keep questions short and relevant; avoid hostility, hate speech, or discrimination. * **Respect boundaries and time** No unwanted advances or suggestive behavior; arrive on time to avoid disrupting the debate. * **Follow moderators** They guide the discussion and ensure fairness.

🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 # 🇰🇷☕ Korean Starter Club – Apprendre le coréen autrement Bonjour à tous ! 😊 Je m'appelle Sohyeon et je vis actuellement en France. J'enseigne le coréen depuis la période du Covid et, comme beaucoup d'entre vous, j'adore apprendre les langues. Je parle et j'apprends actuellement : 🇫🇷 Français 🇬🇧 Anglais 🇷🇺 Russe 🇨🇳 Chinois 🇯🇵 Japonais En apprenant et en enseignant différentes langues, je me suis souvent posé plusieurs questions : 🤔 Comment apprendre une nouvelle langue lorsqu'on manque de temps ? 🤔 Comment aider les enfants ou les personnes qui ont des difficultés avec la lecture ? 🤔 Comment créer un environnement où l'on peut réellement parler la langue étudiée ? 🤔 Comment gagner en confiance lorsqu'on apprend une langue ? 🤔 Est-il possible d'enseigner uniquement dans la langue cible tout en restant compréhensible pour tous ? --- ✨ C'est à partir de ces réflexions que j'ai créé mon propre programme. Un programme différent de ceux que l'on trouve dans les manuels classiques. L'objectif est simple : 🇰🇷 Apprendre le coréen en utilisant le coréen dès le premier jour. 💬 Comprendre naturellement grâce au contexte, aux images, aux gestes et aux interactions. 🤝 Créer une communauté où chacun peut progresser ensemble. --- # 🌱 Korean Starter Club Ce meetup est un programme d'initiation destiné aux débutants et aux personnes souhaitant reprendre confiance à l'oral. L'objectif est de découvrir une nouvelle façon d'apprendre le coréen, de pratiquer ensemble et de rencontrer d'autres personnes partageant le même intérêt pour la langue et la culture coréennes. 📢 Les possibilités de poursuivre l'apprentissage après ce programme seront présentées directement pendant les meetups. --- # ☕ Tea Time après le cours Après les cours, nous prendrons un moment ensemble autour d'un thé ou d'un café. 🍵 Pratiquer le coréen 💬 Discuter librement 🤝 Faire connaissance 🌍 Rencontrer des personnes partageant les mêmes centres d'intérêt --- # 🎯 Ce meetup est pour vous si... ✅ Vous ne connaissez absolument pas le coréen ✅ Vous avez déjà étudié mais vous manquez de pratique à l'oral ✅ Vous souhaitez apprendre avec d'autres personnes plutôt que seul(e) ✅ Vous êtes un enfant ou un jeune adulte d'origine coréenne né en France ✅ Vous manquez de temps pour suivre des cours traditionnels et faire beaucoup de devoirs ✅ Vous avez besoin de motivation pour apprendre ✅ Vous connaissez un peu la grammaire mais vous n'osez pas parler ✅ Vous aimeriez comprendre progressivement les dramas, émissions ou vidéos coréennes ✅ Vous préparez un voyage en Corée ✅ Vous souhaitez communiquer plus facilement avec un ami, un partenaire ou un membre de votre famille coréen ✅ Vous préférez apprendre en utilisant la langue plutôt qu'en mémorisant des règles ✅ Vous avez déjà abandonné plusieurs fois l'apprentissage d'une langue en étant seul(e) ✅ Vous souhaitez vous faire de nouveaux amis ✅ Vous cherchez une nouvelle activité ou un nouveau hobby ✅ Vous aimez découvrir différentes cultures et rencontrer des personnes du monde entier --- # 🎁 Bonus réservé aux membres Chaque mois, les participants du Korean Starter Club reçoivent : 🍳 Un coupon de réduction de 5€ pour les ateliers de cuisine coréenne One World Kitchen. --- # 🌍 Format en ligne & présentiel Afin de permettre au plus grand nombre de participer : 💻 Version en ligne 🏠 Version en présentiel à Villejuif Après le cours de 15h, un petit tea time sera également organisé pour les participants présents sur place. ☕✨ --- # 👥 Venez seul(e) ou accompagné(e) Pas besoin de connaître quelqu'un !

Si l'apprentissage des langues vous a déjà semblé difficile ou solitaire, rejoignez-nous! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 # 🇰🇷☕ Korean Starter Club – Learn Korean Differently Hello everyone! 😊 My name is Sohyeon, and I currently live in France. I've been teaching Korean since the Covid period, and like many of you, I love learning languages. I currently speak and study: 🇫🇷 French 🇬🇧 English 🇷🇺 Russian 🇨🇳 Chinese 🇯🇵 Japanese While learning and teaching languages, I've often asked myself several questions: 🤔 What if someone wants to learn a new language but doesn't have much time? 🤔 How can children or people who struggle with reading learn a language effectively? 🤔 How can we create an environment where people can actually speak the language they are learning? 🤔 How can learners gain confidence while learning a language? 🤔 Is it possible to teach entirely in the target language while making sure students understand everything? --- ✨ These questions inspired me to create my own learning program. A program different from what you usually find in traditional textbooks. The goal is simple: 🇰🇷 Learn Korean by using Korean from day one. 💬 Understand naturally through context, visuals, gestures, and interaction. 🤝 Build a community where everyone can learn and grow together. --- # 🌱 Korean Starter Club This meetup is an introductory program designed for complete beginners and for people who want to regain confidence when speaking Korean. The goal is to discover a new way of learning Korean, practice together, and meet others who share the same interest in Korean language and culture. 📢 Opportunities to continue learning after this program will be presented during the meetups. --- # ☕ Tea Time After Class After class, we'll spend some time together over tea or coffee. 🍵 Practice Korean 💬 Chat freely 🤝 Get to know each other 🌍 Meet people with similar interests --- # 🎯 This meetup is for you if... ✅ You know absolutely no Korean ✅ You've studied Korean before but need more speaking practice ✅ You'd rather learn with others than study alone ✅ You are a Korean child or young adult born and raised in France ✅ You don't have enough time for traditional language courses and lots of homework ✅ You need motivation to keep learning ✅ You know some grammar but hesitate when it's time to speak ✅ You'd like to gradually understand Korean dramas, variety shows, and videos ✅ You're planning a trip to Korea ✅ You'd like to communicate more naturally with a Korean friend, partner, or family member ✅ You prefer learning through real language use rather than memorizing grammar rules ✅ You've given up learning a language before because you were studying alone ✅ You'd like to make new friends ✅ You're looking for a new hobby or activity ✅ You enjoy discovering different cultures and meeting people from around the world --- # 🎁 Member Bonus Every month, Korean Starter Club members receive: 🍳 A €5 discount coupon for One World Kitchen Korean cooking workshops. --- # 🌍 Online & In-Person Format To allow as many people as possible to participate: 💻 Online sessions available 🏠 In-person sessions in Villejuif After the 3:00 PM class, participants attending in person are also invited to join a small tea time. ☕✨ --- # 👥 Come Alone or Bring Someone You don't need to know anyone to join! Most participants come on their own. You are also welcome to come with a friend, partner, or family member. Everyone is welcome. 😊 --- # 📱 Registration Registration is confirmed with a €5 participation fee. Once registered, you'll be invited to the private Korean Starter Club WhatsApp group. There, you can: 💬 Chat with other participants 🇰🇷 Practice your Korean 📢 Receive updates about classes and events 🤝 Stay connected with the community --- 🌱 This is not just a Korean class.

**First time comers** Please make sure to read the rules and contact the organizer before! Otherwise you will be moved to waiting list. Apologies for inconvenience but we have to do it to avoid no-shows. **Games format.** 95% are double games (unless someone needs a break), typically 4 people play together 2 sets and then mix with players from other fields. We play with plastic shuttles - Yonex Mavis 2000 (which are provided). **Registration** If it's your first time, please send a private message to the host to confirm. No-shows are taken quite seriously because they unbalance the games a lot. Also once you register please keep an eye on you private messages, in case we need to contact you. **Players level** Having players with much less experience often unbalances the game making it much less interesting for more experienced players. We still try to be welcoming. As a rule of thumb, if you know what a "clear" is, you are welcome to join. (Note that on Sundays the attitude is a bit more relaxed than on Wednesdays, it's the weekend after all ;) ) Otherwise, feel free to get in touch with me (Timur) and we can see if we can arrange so you and existing players can have good experience playing. **Price and payments** The price of participation is EUR 8.95. Payment is on-site in cash, or via payconiq. Info provided during or shortly after the event. **Cancelations and no-shows** * Switches and cancellations are free of charge if done more than 50 hours before the start of the matches * If you cancel within the 50-hour window before the event starts, you will be placed on the wait-list for the next week's event, whether or not a replacement is found. If no replacement is secured, you'll still need to cover your share of the costs.

You can now join us for some friendly Badminton games on Wednesdays too! All levels welcome! IMPORTANT: in order to secure your place you’ll need to both book a spot on Meetup AND pay €8 by Sunday 18h00. This is to make sure we can cancel courts if demand isn’t there, and make sure we’re being fair to people on the waiting list. Refunds will only be possible after Monday AM if another player is definitely able to take your spot Always worth joining our Whatsapp group as well for faster, often better, updates: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FTipqtyIwcZLThbw8KpQtZ?mode=gi_t

🌍 Open Discussion Meetup: Understanding Gen Z For our next meetup, we’re opening the conversation beyond books and diving into a broader discussion about Gen Z, the generation shaping culture, identity, work, relationships, politics, technology, and social life in rapidly changing times. How does Gen Z view the world differently? What pressures are young people facing today? How are social media, mental health, identity, dating, work expectations, and global uncertainty shaping an entire generation? Rather than a formal debate, this will be an open, thoughtful, and respectful exchange of ideas and experiences. The goal is not to “win” discussions, but to better understand the realities, frustrations, hopes, and contradictions surrounding Gen Z today. Whether you’re Gen Z yourself, a parent, teacher, researcher, or simply curious about generational change, you’re very welcome to join. 📅 Date: Saturday, 13 June ⏰ Time: 11:30 📍 Venue: Carpe Diem, Avenue de Tervuren 13, 1040 Brussels Expect an engaging and relaxed conversation over coffee, with people from different backgrounds and perspectives. As always, those who wish can stay for lunch afterwards. 🏡 Meetup Ground Rules 1️⃣ Everyone is welcome, regardless of background or generation 2️⃣ We listen to understand, not to win 3️⃣ Curiosity, respect, and openness come first Looking forward to another lively and meaningful exchange of ideas. 📞 Questions: 0474.60.83.70

🍣 Sushi Connections – Meet Through Shared Experiences, Not Interviews. Welcome to the very first event of our newly integrated Singles Community! Before we launch a full series of dating experiences, we'd like to test interest in a concept that we believe is much more natural, fun, and meaningful than traditional speed dating. ## Why Sushi? Let's be honest... Traditional singles events can feel a little artificial. You sit across from someone, ask the same questions over and over again.. Instead, what if people could meet while doing something together? Making sushi is the perfect activity because it is collaborative, social, fun, and allows participants to naturally rotate and interact with different people throughout the evening. Rather than interviewing each other, you'll be: 🍣 Preparing sushi together 🍣 Working as a team 🍣 Sharing laughs and conversation naturally 🍣 Meeting multiple people throughout the evening 🍣 Enjoying the sushi you helped create Sometimes the best connections happen when you're focused on an experience rather than trying to impress someone. And if you don't meet anyone , you've learned a new skill. ## The Concept The idea is simple: ✨ Welcome drink and introductions ✨ Sushi-making experience with rotating partners ✨ Shared dinner with the group ✨ Optional confidential matching system after the event The goal is to create a relaxed environment where people can get to know each other naturally through a shared activity. ## ⚠️ Important – Interest Check Event At this stage, we are publishing this event primarily to measure interest in the concept. 📍 **The exact venue is still being selected.** 💰 **The final price is not yet confirmed.** 🗓️ **The final event date may be adjusted slightly depending on venue availability.** By joining this event, you are simply expressing your interest in participating once the concept is finalised. If there is enough enthusiasm, we will secure the venue, finalise the details, and open official registrations. ## Who Is This For? ❤️ Singles who prefer meaningful interactions over superficial conversations ❤️ People who enjoy social activities and meeting new people ❤️ Anyone curious to try a different approach to dating If you've ever thought: *"I'd rather meet someone while doing something together than sitting across a table asking questions..."* then this event might be exactly what you're looking for. Join the interest list and help us launch the very first Sunday Vacations Sushi Connections experience! 🍣✨

Hello! This is a meet-up to play tennis from 2 pm to 4 pm on Sunday. Meeting is on the courts. The courts are booked under the name Jean-Marc. This event is for intermediate and advanced players and not organised for novice players or beginners. Please make sure to bring the exact sum of 10 € in cash. The event is non-commercial. This sum covers the cost of the courts reserved. The organizer is not there to make money out of you. Ladies are encouraged to join. If anyone wants to drop out, they should do it on Saturday morning, not on Sunday the day of the meetup, another wise it would be too late to find a replacement in time or to cancel a court in time with reimbursement. If you don't do this, you will be asked by the organizer to reimburse your participation fee. If this happens too late then those who have cancelled after Saturday morning will have to cover the extra cost for reserving the courts. In the past meetups, it happened too many times that we were an oneven number and because of that all those present had less fun to play. If you don't show up without giving a written excuse in time, the first future participation will be cancelled and you will be asked to reimburse the participation fee. If it happens too many times you will not be able to participate anymore. In case if we are an uneven number of players, then the last player (except the host of course who has to collect the money) can leave or persuade other players to play with him or her. Of course if the last player leaves, then he or she doesn't have to pay the participation fee. If this player leaves, he or she will be added on a future event by the host or organizer in the participation list if the player is far away in the waiting list. This is the advantage of leaving on a voluntary basis;-). We operate on the principle of Fair Play as we do not have umpires or referees. Any disputes or disagreements over line calls or scores should be resolved immediately on the court and, when agreement is not possible, the point or game should be replayed. To be able to replay the game, 3 players need to agree on that without manipulation of the one who disputes an entire game, anotherwise injustice could occur where in the end possibly the biggest cheater could win... This situation applies also, if the host or the organizer is involved. When one of the players still doesn't accept this compromise, then it should be reported (meetup message by preference) to the organizer or host of the meetup event. One of the consequences could be that the first upcoming event could be cancelled by the organizer for the player who doesn't comply with the compromise to play the point or the game again. If the same player does that again for a second time, then the person will see 4 of his next tennis meetups cancelled. If this happens a third time with the same player, then the player in question will be banned from all future tennis meetups with an exclusion as a final result. Whenever there is a big problem, it should be reported as well to the organizer of the group so he can, if necessary, take actions to improve the situation for all the players. Please also note that if you are the first on the waiting list, you will automatically be moved up to the attendance list if someone pulls out. So if you are on the waiting list and see that you cannot attend, please also change your status to not going. If you would like to organize a meet up either this week or next week please get in touch with me, my name is Jean-Marc. It will depend on your initiatives to create more tennis meetups per week.

Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above. There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
