## **BETA TESTING OPPORTUNITY - Limited to 10 People** We are launching a **3-week Stay-or-Leave Relationship Decision Framework** and need 10 beta testers to go through it first. Comment BETA to express interest and to receive more information. **What you get:** * Complete access to the 3-week decision framework * Structured process to reach a confident stay-or-leave decision * Support from a Registered Counsellor throughout **What we need from you:** * Complete the framework within 3 weeks (February-March) * Provide honest feedback to help refine the content * Optional testimonial if the framework helps you **Who This Framework Is For** This framework is designed for mid-lifers in long-term relationships or marriages who are: · Emotionally exhausted from years of unresolved resentment, quiet disconnection, or carrying the weight of indecision, caught between staying (and slowly disappearing) or leaving (and hurting people you care about) · Chronically conflicted - not occasionally doubting, but stuck in a long-term pattern of "maybe yes, maybe no" that's wearing you down · Deeply caring - you don't want to make a decision you'll regret, and that care is part of what's keeping you stuck **Who This Framework Is NOT For** This framework is not appropriate if: · You have already decided to leave and need logistical or legal guidance (not decision clarity).You are currently experiencing physical violence, threats, coercive control, or stalking from your partner. · Your partner is in active addiction or untreated severe mental illness that makes the relationship unsafe or unpredictable right now. · You are in acute mental health crisis (suicidal ideation, severe depression, panic disorder) and need immediate clinical support before doing deep decision work. **How the 5-Phase Decision Framework Works** This framework takes you from paralysed indecision to a values-aligned choice you can trust—and then shows you how to live it without spiraling back into doubt. **Phase 1 – Why You Can't Decide**: Identify what's driving your indecision, recognize the patterns keeping you stuck, and understand the hidden costs of staying in limbo. **Phase 2 – Diagnosing Your Relationship**: Run objective diagnostics across intimacy, communication, trust, compatibility, and effort to determine whether your relationship can actually meet your needs—not whether you wish it could. **Phase 3 – Mapping the Trade-Offs**: Compare the real costs and gains of staying versus leaving across emotional, financial, logistical, identity, health, and meaning dimensions to see which path aligns with your values. **Phase 4 – Making the Decision**: Synthesize everything you've learned, confront the core question, and choose your path—stay and repair, leave and rebuild, or consciously accept—with a written decision statement that anchors your commitment. **Phase 5 – Living the Decision**: Build certainty through commitment (not the other way around), rebuild self-trust through consistent action, and follow your path-specific 30-day integration plan—whether you're staying or leaving—without reopening the decision.

Have you ever experienced a relationship that soured into bitter or unresolved conflict? Have you ever attempted to connect with someone and seen your efforts come to nothing? WHAT IF you could resolve any upset and restore harmony? WHAT IF you could build positive relationships that last? NOW YOU CAN! The secret to successful relationships depends upon knowing what underlies all human relations, and nothing teaches you that basic foundation better than the how to improve relationships with others course. Today talk will go for roughly one hour, including the answering of all your questions. You also have the option to do a free personality test which takes about 20 minutes to fill out and another 30 min to go over the results with you. This free meetup talk is open to all people of goodwill. If the time and date does not suit you then contact the Event Organizer via meetup and rearrange it.

It's Jugger time! Get on down to Hawthorn for fun, sun, exercise, and silly shenanigans * ✅ Free to attend * ⚔️ Jugger Equipment is supplied * 🍜 Post-training social lunch - all welcome * ➡️ [Find us on Discord](https://discord.gg/WHnMyk56Cu) Jugger is an exciting, mixed-gender soft combat sport. Two teams use a selection of padded foam spars to tag opponents as they aim to put the jugg (the game ball) into their opponent's goal. **Watch Jugger being played in [this excellent short demo video](https://vimeo.com/28592980).** Jugger Melbourne training sessions include both full games of jugger, as well as a variety of training drills designed to promote **teamwork, communication, exercise, health and fitness, and teach core game skills.** After training we head across to Glenferrie Rd for lunch and socializing, which you are welcome (and encouraged!) to join. **‍🏃‍♀️‍➡️ New Player Info / Who Can Join** New players are always welcome! Our experienced coaches will teach you basics to get you and and swinging in no time Jugger is easy to pickup the basics while deep to master. We have a minimum age policy of 16 years (please note, anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian), but other than that we welcome anyone of all fitness levels. Jugger is a great way to keep active, and a fun way to meet new people in a friendly and inclusive community! **👟 How to Join a Session and What to Bring** Joining is simple - just show up! RSVPing on Meetup or Discord is a big help as it helps us plan around expected numbers. You are also welcome to bring along any interested friends and family. **⚔️ Jugger equipment is supplied.** We have a collection of gear to loan out to new players. Bring a water bottle (there is a tap nearby), sunscreen, and wear comfortable clothes and shoes for running around in - and that you don't mind getting a bit dirty! Recommend but not required items include: sunglasses, football boots, kneepads, and gloves if you have them. You don't need any of these to get started, but you may find you want them if you become a regular. **✅ Are there any costs are involved?** Our training sessions are **free to attend** as often as you like, we are essentially just a group of friends that meet for training and socializing on the weekend. The Australian Jugger League has a voluntary annual membership that helps to support the sport (including maintaining equipment and paying for Meetup), and we encourage people to join once they become a regular attendee or begin attending tournaments. However there's no obligation so spend any money when you're first trying it out or just attending casually. **➡️ External Links** We organise our regular players through our Discord group and their attendance is not often represented in the Meetup attendance numbers (we use Meetup to reach out to new people). Events are also (though less regularly) posted to Facebook, while event photos and videos are shared on our Instagram. * [Join our Discord](https://discord.gg/WHnMyk56Cu) * [Jugger Melbourne on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/JuggerMelbourne) * [Follow us on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/jugger_melbourne/) * [Australian Jugger League website](https://www.jugger.au/) \*\* See you on Sunday \*\*

This smaller half-pitch match is strictly for **35 years and older** players only, as well as **not for beginners**. You must register to play. Please arrive on time to lend a hand in setting up the goals. A Roll Call for registered players is conducted. If you arrive late, you will need to join one of the other remaining open-age matches and relinguish your spot for someone who is on the waiting list and has come on-time. Please have the courtesy to de-register if you are unable to attend at all. Please wear a black or white top, or bring both so teams can be easily divided evenly. We recommend shin guards as the game is competitive and a contact sport. It is up to you to manage your own risk of injury, as this is social and free. However, we do NOT condone sliding tackles and over-aggressiveness. Please place your possessions in a safe place while the game is running. Your possessions are your own responsibility. Post-match, please help with packing up the goals, bibs and cones. 2-3 people per goal makes very light work and only takes 3 minutes.

It's DDD but \***lightning**\*. The evening will be a hybrid event hosted by the DDD Melbourne crew and consist of short & sharp presentations of fifteen minutes in length on a dev related subject. Venue space is limited, we cannot accommodate more than **90 people**. First come first served! **ONLINE ATTENDANCE** You can join us online, we'll aim to get the call started somewhere around 6pm before we have our introductions and first speaker. Remote audience link --> **TBA** You can ask questions of our speakers via Slido. We'll try to ask your questions as they come through on Slido, but we may not get to all of them. **TALKS** **Elmer Rokerick Niem Bool** neurUL: Duplicateless Databases Using Biomimicry In this talk, Elmer will present neurUL (neurUL Universal Language), a new neurobiological programming language, inspired by computer science, neuroscience, cognitive science, linguistics, and philosophy, that can enable a highly efficient and flexible method for data storage. Using neurUL, developers will be able to solve the ""unavoidable redundancies"" problem, wherein, despite the introduction of database normalization more than half a century ago, relational databases with their current limitations, are still plagued by costly, ever-growing redundancies across columns, rows, tables, as well as in schema definitions **Suyogya Taneja** CQRS in Modern .NET: Clean Architecture, Vertical Slice, Microservices, and AI-Assisted Development with Claude Code The talk will explore implementing CQRS in modern .NET applications across Clean Architecture, Vertical Slice Architecture, and Microservices, along with demonstrating how AI-assisted development using Claude Code can help accelerate building CQRS-based features such as commands, handlers, and tests. **Anderson Santos** Automate Work and Build Tools with No-Code Repetitive tasks are everywhere, copying data between systems, updating records, processing documents, and managing manual workflows. In this talk, Anderson will show how no-code automation platforms like Make allow anyone to connect systems, eliminate boring work, and build powerful workflows without writing code. He will also briefly explore how the same approach can be used to create internal tools and even launch small SaaS products. **Ben Taylor** Building MCP Servers is Surprisingly Easy The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is changing what is possible with LLMs and enabling general purpose agents. It turns out building MCP servers is super easy. Ben will talk about what an MCP is, some background around the security considerations involved, how to build one, and what you could use it for. **SCHEDULE** **5.45pm** Open doors, food served **6.10pm** Intro and three talks **7.30pm** Break for networking and drinks **8.00pm** Two more talks **8.45pm** Close **CODE OF CONDUCT** All DDD events are subject to the DDD Code of Conduct available at https://www.dddmelbourne.com/code-of-conduct/ **VENUE AND FOOD SPONSOR** [Luminary](https://www.luminary.com/) **FUTURE EVENTS** Are you interested in speaking at a future DDD by Night?

**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy* You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life. The problem isn't you. It's the format. Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built. Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else. *That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real. There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking. Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum. This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic. You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation. **April 14th. RSVP now.** **When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081

Pay attention! We’re delaying a week for those of you who may be on Spring break and/or celebrating the holiday. Ok, no pancakes, but waffles-a-plenty. Join the local UX and Digital Design community for a casual monthly breakfast. Look for us upstairs!

Join us for a tour of Brothers Drake Meadery in Grandview, hosted by the owner Oron Benary. He will explain the mead-making process and offer us generous samples of their fine meads. Mead is basically wine that is made from honey instead of grapes. There are many different flavors that range from dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet, to sweet. They are best known for their Apple Pie Mead. Oron has offered us a special price of 5.00 each person for the tour and tasting, which is normally 25.00 per person. I've taken the tour several times, and it's always enlightening and fun. Rebecca will bring a tea that will pair well with the mead for a tea tasting afterwards. Park anywhere around the building. Please avoid parking in front of the houses in the neighborhood behind the Meadery. Please keep your RSVP current. Knowing how many will attend will help Brothers Drake plan accordingly to accommodate us.

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

Join us for lunch at Cooper’s Hawk in Easton. If the weather is nice, we’ll enjoy lunch on their gorgeous patio!
