Raja Yoga - Online Course
This course, facilitated by Wendy Dixon, explores the concepts and exercises in Wallace Slater’s book *A Simplified Course of Raja Yoga*, which follows the Yoga Sutras or Aphorisms of Patanjali.
We meet online every Wednesday night and follow the 10-lesson structure created by Slater, allowing a month for each lesson. We will thoroughly explore each step, with time for discussion and practice.
Each session contains material on one or more of the eight limbs of yoga, so named by Patanjali - self-restraint (yama), self-discipline (niyama), posture (āsana), control of breath (prānayāma), control of the sense (pratyāhāra), concentration (dhāranā), meditation (dhyāna) and contemplation (samādhi).
Additional material is sourced from I. K. Taimni, Swami Vivekananda, H. P. Blavatsky and contemporary Raja Yoga books.
We begin and close each session with sitting meditations.
**This is an ongoing course that you can join at any time.**

Data driven decision making for fantasy basketball
Integral to the modern data scientists toolkit is understanding how to turn data into decisions. A core part of this is thinking about the end stage of your analysis pipeline, and how the communication and visualisation of your results will factor into decision making.
But it's not just enough to deliver a solution. Part of successfully supporting end-user decisions comes from co-design. That means thinking about end user needs and how your end-users will engage with your solution.
This talk explores both of these issues using fantasy basketball statistics. So come along if you have a love of data and data-driven decision making. Also come along if you are fan of sports analytics or forecasting.

**Talk:**
Keeping data private in real-time pipelines
**Abstract:**
We all love real-time data — clicks, payments, rides, messages — but most of it comes with a catch: it contains personal information we're not supposed to leak, such as names, emails, locations, or even small clues that can identify someone. The challenge: how do we keep streaming data useful and safe at the same time? In this talk, we'll explore practical ways to protect privacy in streaming systems using Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, and Apache Iceberg. We'll cover: - simple tricks like masking and tokenizing PII; - why "anonymous" data often isn't anonymous (the re-identification problem); - techniques like bucketing, k-anonymity, and adding noise; - how to balance privacy with data utility (too much hiding makes data useless). Along the way, we'll look at real-world stories: from public data leaks to surprising deanonymization attacks, and show live demos of pipelines that anonymize data before it's written to storage. If you've ever wondered how to build privacy-aware pipelines, this talk will give you practical patterns you can use right away.
**Bio:**
Olena is a Staff Developer Advocate at Confluent and a recognized expert in data streaming and analytics. With two decades of experience in software engineering, she has built mission-critical applications, led high-performing teams, and driven large-scale technology adoption at industry leaders like Nokia, HERE Technologies, AWS, and Aiven.
A passionate advocate for real-time data processing and AI-driven applications, Olena empowers developers and organizations to use the power of streaming data. She is an AWS Community Builder, a dedicated mentor, and a volunteer instructor at a nonprofit tech school, helping to shape the next generation of engineers.
As an international speaker and thought leader, Olena regularly presents at top global conferences, sharing deep technical insights and hands-on expertise. Whether through her talks, workshops, or content, she is committed to making complex technologies accessible and inspiring innovation in the developer community.

**Talk:**
Building an AI Agent on Kafka — Architectural Realities Beyond the Demo
**Abstract:**
Large Language Models make it deceptively easy to build an “AI agent”: consume an event, call a model, produce a decision. But when this pattern is introduced into a high-throughput streaming system built on Apache Kafka, the architectural assumptions begin to shift.
Kafka is optimized for predictable scaling, low latency, and deterministic event processing. LLM-based agents, by contrast, introduce seconds-level latency, per-call cost, rate limits, and non-deterministic outputs. What appears straightforward in a demo can quickly create consumer lag, cost escalation, replay inconsistencies, and new operational failure modes in production.
In this session, we will:
* Build a simple event-driven AI agent on Kafka
* Examine the architectural tension between streaming systems and LLM workloads
* Explore the impact of latency, cost-per-event, backpressure, and rate limiting
* Discuss how non-determinism affects replay and auditability
* Present practical design patterns to isolate and control AI workloads in streaming environments
Rather than focusing on prompt engineering, this talk takes a systems-design perspective. It is aimed at engineers and architects who are experimenting with AI in real-time platforms and want to understand the production trade-offs before deploying at scale.
**Bio**
Paras is a seasoned software/date engineer with significant experience in developing and optimizing realtime scalable systems. At Tabcorp, Paras leads a high-performing team, developing and optimizing real-time transaction monitoring systems utilizing technologies like Apache Kafka and Neo4j. With a robust background in both real-time and batch data processing, Paras has extensive experience across various platforms and tools, including AWS, Databricks, and Spark, which he leverages to deliver high-performance data solutions.

# 🎉 KISMETRIX \| TRUE CONNECTION
## The Mega Social Party \| Melbourne Singles Night
📍 **Secret Garden Bar**: 7/60 Fitzroy St, St Kilda VIC 3182
📅 **Saturday 21 March 2026**
🕖 **7:00 PM – 10:00 PM** (venue open late)
👥 A vibrant room of Melbourne singles \| Curated age zones \| Complimentary standard drink
# THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER SINGLES NIGHT
Dating apps promised connection.
Instead, many people feel tired, disconnected, and quietly wondering if meaningful relationships are still possible.
They are.
But they rarely happen on a screen.
They happen when people show up in real life.
The **Kismetrix Mega Social Party** is a vibrant in-person singles experience designed for people who are done swiping and ready to meet properly again.
No apps.
No scripts.
No awkward formats.
Just real people, real conversations, and real chemistry in a room full of others who feel the same.
If you've ever thought:
“Surely there are still great people out there — I just need to meet them differently.”
This night was created for you.
# WHY THIS EVENT IS DIFFERENT
Kismetrix events bring together socially engaged singles who are open to meeting new people in real life.
Our community attracts people who are:
• warm, confident, and grounded
• socially curious and open to conversation
• interested in meaningful connection
• ready to meet people beyond dating apps
People arrive curious.
People stay because the energy feels right.
And sometimes they leave with connections they never expected.
Connection doesn’t happen by staying home.
# CURATED AGE ZONES
To help everyone feel comfortable and meet people in a similar life stage, guests attend within curated age zones inside the venue:
• 26–38

Expect:
• warm lighting and vibrant atmosphere
• effortless mingling and natural conversations
• a welcoming crowd where coming solo is completely normal
• great music and a lively social environment
Every ticket includes a **complimentary standard drink**, helping everyone settle in and start conversations naturally.
There will also be **some fun optional games and interactive moments throughout the evening** to help spark conversations and encourage guests to meet beyond their immediate circle.
Participation is completely optional — the night flows naturally whether you prefer to mingle freely or join in.
# HOSTING & FLOW
Kismetrix hosts will be present from **7:00 PM – 10:00 PM** to welcome guests and support the social flow.
After hosted hours, the venue remains open — so you're welcome to stay on, mingle, and let the night continue naturally.

**Final Release / Last Week**

# THIS NIGHT IS FOR YOU IF…
✔️ You're over dating apps but still believe connection is possible
✔️ You enjoy meeting people naturally in real life
✔️ You want a vibrant social night with great energy
✔️ You're open to new conversations and unexpected connections
Even if you don't meet “the one,” you'll leave reminded that meaningful connection is still very much alive.

How is it that you can Help kids or yourself to become a better student!
Too many kids as well as teenagers and adults have problems with study.
Today's meetup will inform you about the basics in STUDY TECHNOLOGY that provides an understanding of the basics of learning and supplies exact ways to overcome all the pitfalls one can encounter during study. This is applicable to young children, teenagers (or their parents that are trying to help them) and adults alike.
Study Technology shows how one studies in order to comprehend a subject so one can apply it. Laws on which learning is based and workable methods have also been discovered for anyone to apply for themselves or when teaching others.
Too many students graduate from school and college unable to put to use what they’ve learned in school.
It’s not that they’re stupid or that their teachers didn’t know how to teach.
More than likely it traces back to the one thing missing from most educations—learning how to learn in the first place.
We all went to school, yet isn’t it odd that no one taught us how to study?
The information presented at this meetup can help anyone improve others or his own ability to learn.
It is a practical tool that parents and teachers alike can use to enhance a child's study performance. You’ll learn the barriers that lie between your own or a child's education.
And you will very quickly learn how to overcome them.
This technology will enable you or a child to pursue any subject with skill and confidence.
Teachers who have "hard to handle/distributive " or slow learners in class will absolutely love the amazing turn around most often seen in improved behaviour and student performance in class.
If you or your child has difficulties at school (or learning new things at work or online) than this meetup is important to you.
If you can not make it to our meetup than contact the organizer and arrange it to suit your time.
This technology can if one was to live far away be taught online. (extension course)
You may offcourse also opt to have this technology taught to your own child by experienced volunteeer staff or learn about this yourself and transfer this knowledge to those you want to have better grades.
Yes it is possible to improve anyone's study performance. All it takes is just 5 steps.
See you at this meetup.
