Hi, my name is Nigel.
I graduated from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and began my career designing rocket components for China’s aerospace program. So unlike the so-called “rocket scientists” on Wall Street, I am the real deal.
For the past 20 years, I have helped foreign businesses achieve a smooth landing in China, navigating everything from market strategy and regulatory compliance to local partnerships and execution. I speak the languages of engineering, mathematics, and cross-border business.
Let us have a cup of tea at a peaceful Buddhist temple and talk business. We can brainstorm practical, real-world approaches to doing business in China.
My associate and I also host business networking events and organize trips around China for professionals and entrepreneurs.

Zhang Yuan, a community of hundreds of shikumen (a style featuring Western and Chinese elements) houses in downtown Shanghai's Jing'an district, will partially reopen to the public on Dec 1 after four years of protective renovation.
Located just off Nanjing Road West at the corner of Taixing Road and Wujiang Road, Zhang Yuan - or Zhang's Garden - is widely known as Shanghai's largest, best-preserved and most diverse shikumen compound.
The compound was named after its founding owner Zhang Shuhe (1850-1919), a merchant from Wuxi in Jiangsu province. Zhang had bought a piece of farmland in Shanghai from a Briton named Francis Groom before building a garden home for his mother.

Stuckness as Protection
🚀What if feeling stuck isn’t a problem—but a powerful form of self-protection?
Feeling stuck is often seen as a failure or weakness, yet stuckness can actually serve as a powerful form of protection. In this MOTIVATE Community Sunday webinar, Stuckness as Protection, you’ll explore how feeling immobilized or uncertain can prevent impulsive decisions, emotional overwhelm, and unhealthy situations.
Led by Harald Bartisch, Coach/Consultant and NLP Master Practitioner, this session reframes stuckness as a meaningful pause—one that invites reflection, clarity, and balance. You’ll learn how stuckness can arise from fear, self-doubt, low self-esteem, or external constraints, and how recognizing its protective role can reduce frustration and self-judgment.
Through practical insights and NLP-informed strategies such as setting boundaries, gaining clarity, and seeking support, this webinar will help you move from stuckness to empowered, intentional action.
🗓️Join us on **February 8, 2025**, for the MOTIVATE Community Sunday webinar “**Stuckness as Protection**” with **Harald Bartisch**, Coach/Consultant and NLP Master Practitioner, as we explore how feeling stuck can guide meaningful change.
🎯 **Key Points / Takeaways for the Audience**
✅Stuckness is not always negative—it can be a form of protection that prevents rash decisions and supports reflection and healing.
✅Getting unstuck begins with identifying the true source of stuckness, whether it’s fear, self-doubt, protection, or external factors, and applying intentional strategies to address it.
🎯 **Additional Key Points / Takeaways / Benefits**
✅Stuckness as a signal: Learn to see stuckness as useful information rather than resistance or failure.
✅Boundaries restore balance: Discover how healthy boundaries reduce burnout and support forward movement.
✅Clarity creates momentum: Gain tools to clarify values and goals, reducing indecision and fear.
✅Small steps matter: Break overwhelm into manageable actions that rebuild confidence.
✅Support accelerates growth: Understand the role of coaches, mentors, and community in navigating stuckness effectively.

Sherry Argov’s “Why Men Love Bitches” serves as a refreshing viewpoint on women’s relationships with men. The book dispenses advice on how to break from the cycle of being too accommodating in relationships. It challenges women to empower themselves and uphold their self-respect. Using humor and straightforward language, Argov clarifies the qualities of a “bitch”—a strong woman who knows her worth and stands firm in her identity. Focusing on relationship dynamics, she addresses the reasons men gravitate towards confident women instead of “nice girls.
💡**重新定义 BITCH**
书中赋予这个词全新含义:
**B.I.T.C.H = Babe In Total Control of Herself**
(完全懂得经营好自己的女性)
拆解来看,BITCH 可以是:
**B**rave · **I**ntelligent · **T**rendy · **C**harisma · **H**umorous
她并非真正意义上的“坏”,而是:
✅善良体贴,但不受摆布
✅独立自主,不牺牲自我
✅个性鲜明,赢得尊重
🔑 **“坏”女人吸引力法则**
* 保持独立,不围绕他转
* 不主动追求,保持神秘
* 重视自我价值与生活节奏
* 对身体与精神自律而珍视
* 保留空间,不咄咄逼人
* 思想独立,经济自足
* 温柔与坚定并存
💬**别急着“贤妻良母”。越容易得到越不愿意珍惜,人性如此。**
If you smother him, he’ll go into defense mode and look for anescape route to protect his freedom.A bitch gives a man plenty of space.
**保持自己的生活节奏,该锻炼的锻炼,该读书的读书,不要因为男人冷落了周围的朋友。盯着屏幕几个小时只为等他一条简讯一通电话毫无意义**。
Keep moving to your own rhythm.Live by your own rules.
**思想独立,财务独立,自尊自爱。**
Stand on your two feet financially.
Be an independent thinker.The most attractive quality of all is dignity.
**没有让你去做无坚不摧的女强人,请别忘了——温!柔!**
When you appear softer and more feminine, you appeal to his instinct to protect.
**别那么急着倾诉衷肠。问及前任,轻描淡写一句带过。唠唠叨叨让你不再神秘。偶尔聊聊相处感受,但注意频率和强度\~**
When you nag, he see weakness.Never pull out your guts on the first few dates.Never talk constantly.Keep cool and quiet.Talking about feelings to a man will feel like work.
“One of ‘The 10 Most Iconic Relationship Books of the Past Ten Years."
—Yahoo!
Do you feel like you are too nice? Sherry Argov'sWhy Men Love Bitches delivers a unique perspective as to why men are attracted to a strong woman who stands up for herself. With saucy detail on every page, this no-nonsense guide reveals why a strong woman is much more desirable than a "yes woman" who routinely sacrifices herself. The author provides compelling answers to the tough questions women often ask:
· Why are men so romantic in the beginning and why do they change?
· Why do men take nice girls for granted?
· Why does a man respect a woman when she stands up for herself?
Full of advice, hilarious real-life relationship scenarios, "she says/he thinks" tables, and the author's unique "Attraction Principles," Why Men Love Bitches gives you bottom-line answers. It helps you know who you are, stand your ground, and relate to men on a whole new level. Once you've discovered the feisty attitude men find so magnetic, you'll not only increase the romantic chemistry—you'll gain your man's love and respect with far less effort.
This book addresses the dynamics of modern relationships. Sherry Argov argues that men are attracted to strong, independent women. Instead of being a “doormat,” women can gain respect and love by valuing themselves and setting boundaries.
**An Overview of “Why Men Love Bitches”**
Sherry Argov’s “Why Men Love Bitches” serves as a refreshing viewpoint on women’s relationships with men. The book dispenses advice on how to break from the cycle of being too accommodating in relationships. It challenges women to empower themselves and uphold their self-respect. Using humor and straightforward language, Argov clarifies the qualities of a “bitch”—a strong woman who knows her worth and stands firm in her identity. Focusing on relationship dynamics, she addresses the reasons men gravitate towards confident women instead of “nice girls.”
**Understanding Men’s Behavior**
One central theme of Argov’s advice tackles men’s romantic behavior. Why do men often seem enamored at first, only to withdraw later? Argov claims that once they perceive a woman as a “sure thing,” they lose interest. Men are drawn to the hunt, frequently motivated by the challenge. She suggests that withholding certain intimate aspects initially can heighten his respect and interest. The book offers practical steps to maintain this intrigue. For example, the author recommends creating an air of mystery around feelings and availability. This doesn’t imply manipulation; it’s about being genuine while developing a healthy balance of interest. The advice also includes classic tricks, like introducing playful teasing to defuse tension during awkward moments, keeping the relationship exciting and vibrant.
*Why Men Love Bitches explores the dynamic of modern dating, shedding light on why independent and assertive women attract men more than those who are overly accommodating or submissive.*
*The book “Why Men Love Bitches” by Sherry Argov offers a fresh perspective into dating and relationships. The author breaks down the idea that many women mistakenly believe that being nice and overly accommodating will earn them the love and admiration of men. Instead, Argov argues that the opposite is often true. Men are attracted to women who exude confidence, independence, and assertiveness. This book emphasizes the importance of self-respect and self-worth in relationships, guiding readers toward fostering a personality that commands respect and attracts quality partners.*
*Why Men Love Bitches* (WMLB) has completely reshaped how woman approach relationships. In this fun & engaging read by *New York Times* bestselling author, Sherry Argov, women learn about the importance of standing your ground, knowing who you are, and holding your own in a relationship. Argov shares advice & stories that highlight the value of being a “bitch” in a relationship.
This book separates women into one of two categories: a nice girl vs a bitch.
A**“bitch”** in this book is not the stereotypical bitch most people automatically think of. In this book, being a bitch means you are sassy and confident. You are kind, yet strong and never chase a man. If he doesn’t want you — that’s fine, you don’t want him.
The**nice girl** is someone who gives too much and doesn’t receive anything back. She often overcompensates and will do anything to keep her man because she thinks she is nothing without him.
**The Balance of Independence and Togetherness**
This guide doesn’t just criticize the overly nice; it offers hope, encouragement, and reaffirmation of one’s individuality. While the book prioritizes independence, Argov also emphasizes the importance of partnership. A relationship flourishes when both partners can be secure within themselves while still supporting one another. By communicating clearly and confidently, each partner should celebrate the other’s space instead of monopolizing it. This balance deepens intimacy while simultaneously preserving individuality, which is the essence of healthy love. Argov completes her exploration of relationships by reinforcing a key takeaway. A happy woman is the most attractive person in the room. When partnered with someone who understands their significance, a woman becomes magnetic. Sherry Argov’s “Why Men Love Bitches” is an assertive manifesto that advises women to love themselves fiercely. Through this perspective, readers can harness confidence, self-love, and respect within love, ensuring that they are never seen as a mere doormat but rather as the queen of their life’s narrative.
阿尔戈列举了一般情况下分成两类的女人:乖乖女和坏女人。先不说什么是坏女人,来看一个典型的乖乖女—
♀对喜欢的男人象忠犬,招之即来挥之即去;又象电视机,他想开就开,想关就关;
♀本来周末已有安排,对方一个电话过来,就扔下一切,驱车几十公里赴约;
♀对于从来不同意事先约好见面时间的男人也十分顺从;
♀没车坐机场巴士也要去接远道而归的男人;
♀为了捧红心上人的作品自己从零开始学做经纪人;
1、“坏“女人从不立刻回应男人的短信和电话,即使手机就在她手边。
对策:无需等待她的回复,忙你自己的事情,但一定要通过社交网络,展示你充实且美好的生活。实际上一直在监控你社交网络的她,总会忍不住想融入其中。这时候,你的手机就会响起短信提示音了。
2、“坏”女人不肯改变自己的既定行程,时常拒绝你的诚挚邀约。
对策:这并代表她不在乎你,反而恰恰证明她把你当男朋友,而不是“男闺蜜”。被拒绝后,请绅士的祝她既定行程顺利,并表示愿意等她的聚会结束后,开车接送她回家,这比请她吃晚餐更贴心。
3、“坏”女人让男人们感觉到,她爱自己胜过一切。
对策:收起你的玻璃心,她最爱自己并不代表她不爱你。每一个成熟的人都应该先学会“自爱”,然后才有资格去爱别人。让“坏”女人认识到你也是爱自己胜过一切,因为她喜欢懂得爱自己的男人。
4、“坏”女人不断声明,对于犯错的男人,她随时都会转身离去。
对策:离开并不等于不会回来,你无需因为害怕失去,而受“坏”女人摆布。你需要提前做好工作的是,让“坏”女人明白,你是一个能够独立思考的人,是非准则不由她一人决定。
5、“坏“女人从不让男人掌控自己,谁都不能独有她。
对策:这是“坏”女人在故意激发男人的征服欲,她深谙“得不到才是最好的”这个道理。你要配合她演好这出戏,然后给她最多自由的你,渐渐就成了她最不舍得离开的“牢笼”。
6、“坏”女人喜欢玩“一个耳光加一个糖豆”的游戏。
对策:“坏”女人会以有事为由,拒绝明晚与你约会,可当晚她又会临时告知你,她可以赴约。因为她盘算着,你会像个心爱玩具失而复得的小孩,对她感激不尽。这种情况下,你的正确回应是,告诉她你已经约好朋友一起去打球了。
7、“坏”女人好像能看穿你的小心思,你的情话总被她冷漠应对。
对策:在恋爱博弈中,人人都难免犯贱,聪明的“坏”女人早已洞悉一切。所以你不要刻意的去讨好她,不要把甜言蜜语挂在嘴边。有事说事,没事就闭嘴,是与“坏”女人交往的最好模式。
8、“坏”女人的床总是很难上,在楼道里就与你道晚安。
对策:做爱之前,男人糊涂,女人清醒;做爱之后,男人清醒,女人糊涂。承认吧,如果第一次约会时,“坏”女人就把身体给了你,你反而会担心更多。保持你的耐心,按捺你的欲望,当她缓缓解开睡衣的那一瞬间,你会发现等待是值得的。
9、“坏”女人从不做出承诺,让你倍感不安。
对策:“坏”女人是只狡猾的狐狸,她很会装聋作哑,虽然嘴上不说,但她心里和明镜似的。不要强迫“坏”女人做承诺,但你要主动向她做承诺。虽然表面上,她对此只会轻蔑一笑,但这只狐狸心里已经吃到了甜葡萄。
10、“坏”女人似乎并不需要你,你感觉自己可有可无。
对策:“坏”女人和你在一起,并不是因为她“需要“你,而是因为她“选择”了你,你们是平等的伴侣。因此,你无需主动给她什么,只需向她展示你可以提
**[#Redefine]() the word BITCH#**
**She maintains her independence.**
**She doesn't pursue him.**
**She is mysterious.**
**She maintains a sense of humor.**
**She places a high value on herself.**
**She is passionate about something other than him.**
**She treats her body like a finely tuned machine**

The book dispenses advice on how to break from the cycle of being too accommodating in relationships. It challenges women to empower themselves and uphold their self-respect. Using humor and straightforward language, Argov clarifies the qualities of a “bitch”—a strong woman who knows her worth and stands firm in her identity. Focusing on relationship dynamics, she addresses the reasons men gravitate towards confident women instead of “nice girls.
💡**重新定义 BITCH**
书中赋予这个词全新含义:
**B.I.T.C.H = Babe In Total Control of Herself**
(完全懂得经营好自己的女性)
拆解来看,BITCH 可以是:
**B**rave · **I**ntelligent · **T**rendy · **C**harisma · **H**umorous
她并非真正意义上的“坏”,而是:
✅善良体贴,但不受摆布
✅独立自主,不牺牲自我
✅个性鲜明,赢得尊重
🔑 **“坏”女人吸引力法则**
* 保持独立,不围绕他转
* 不主动追求,保持神秘
* 重视自我价值与生活节奏
* 对身体与精神自律而珍视
* 保留空间,不咄咄逼人
* 思想独立,经济自足
* 温柔与坚定并存
💬**别急着“贤妻良母”。越容易得到越不愿意珍惜,人性如此。**
If you smother him, he’ll go into defense mode and look for anescape route to protect his freedom.A bitch gives a man plenty of space.
**保持自己的生活节奏,该锻炼的锻炼,该读书的读书,不要因为男人冷落了周围的朋友。盯着屏幕几个小时只为等他一条简讯一通电话毫无意义**。
Keep moving to your own rhythm.Live by your own rules.
**思想独立,财务独立,自尊自爱。**
Stand on your two feet financially.
Be an independent thinker.The most attractive quality of all is dignity.
**没有让你去做无坚不摧的女强人,请别忘了——温!柔!**
When you appear softer and more feminine, you appeal to his instinct to protect.
**别那么急着倾诉衷肠。问及前任,轻描淡写一句带过。唠唠叨叨让你不再神秘。偶尔聊聊相处感受,但注意频率和强度\~**
When you nag, he see weakness.Never pull out your guts on the first few dates.Never talk constantly.Keep cool and quiet.Talking about feelings to a man will feel like work.
“One of ‘The 10 Most Iconic Relationship Books of the Past Ten Years."
—Yahoo!
Do you feel like you are too nice? Sherry Argov'sWhy Men Love Bitches delivers a unique perspective as to why men are attracted to a strong woman who stands up for herself. With saucy detail on every page, this no-nonsense guide reveals why a strong woman is much more desirable than a "yes woman" who routinely sacrifices herself. The author provides compelling answers to the tough questions women often ask:
· Why are men so romantic in the beginning and why do they change?
· Why do men take nice girls for granted?
· Why does a man respect a woman when she stands up for herself?
Full of advice, hilarious real-life relationship scenarios, "she says/he thinks" tables, and the author's unique "Attraction Principles," Why Men Love Bitches gives you bottom-line answers. It helps you know who you are, stand your ground, and relate to men on a whole new level. Once you've discovered the feisty attitude men find so magnetic, you'll not only increase the romantic chemistry—you'll gain your man's love and respect with far less effort.
This book addresses the dynamics of modern relationships. Sherry Argov argues that men are attracted to strong, independent women. Instead of being a “doormat,” women can gain respect and love by valuing themselves and setting boundaries.
**An Overview of “Why Men Love Bitches”**
Sherry Argov’s “Why Men Love Bitches” serves as a refreshing viewpoint on women’s relationships with men. The book dispenses advice on how to break from the cycle of being too accommodating in relationships. It challenges women to empower themselves and uphold their self-respect. Using humor and straightforward language, Argov clarifies the qualities of a “bitch”—a strong woman who knows her worth and stands firm in her identity. Focusing on relationship dynamics, she addresses the reasons men gravitate towards confident women instead of “nice girls.”
**Understanding Men’s Behavior**
One central theme of Argov’s advice tackles men’s romantic behavior. Why do men often seem enamored at first, only to withdraw later? Argov claims that once they perceive a woman as a “sure thing,” they lose interest. Men are drawn to the hunt, frequently motivated by the challenge. She suggests that withholding certain intimate aspects initially can heighten his respect and interest. The book offers practical steps to maintain this intrigue. For example, the author recommends creating an air of mystery around feelings and availability. This doesn’t imply manipulation; it’s about being genuine while developing a healthy balance of interest. The advice also includes classic tricks, like introducing playful teasing to defuse tension during awkward moments, keeping the relationship exciting and vibrant.
*Why Men Love Bitches explores the dynamic of modern dating, shedding light on why independent and assertive women attract men more than those who are overly accommodating or submissive.*
*The book “Why Men Love Bitches” by Sherry Argov offers a fresh perspective into dating and relationships. The author breaks down the idea that many women mistakenly believe that being nice and overly accommodating will earn them the love and admiration of men. Instead, Argov argues that the opposite is often true. Men are attracted to women who exude confidence, independence, and assertiveness. This book emphasizes the importance of self-respect and self-worth in relationships, guiding readers toward fostering a personality that commands respect and attracts quality partners.*
*Why Men Love Bitches* (WMLB) has completely reshaped how woman approach relationships. In this fun & engaging read by *New York Times* bestselling author, Sherry Argov, women learn about the importance of standing your ground, knowing who you are, and holding your own in a relationship. Argov shares advice & stories that highlight the value of being a “bitch” in a relationship.
This book separates women into one of two categories: a nice girl vs a bitch.
A**“bitch”** in this book is not the stereotypical bitch most people automatically think of. In this book, being a bitch means you are sassy and confident. You are kind, yet strong and never chase a man. If he doesn’t want you — that’s fine, you don’t want him.
The**nice girl** is someone who gives too much and doesn’t receive anything back. She often overcompensates and will do anything to keep her man because she thinks she is nothing without him.
**The Balance of Independence and Togetherness**
This guide doesn’t just criticize the overly nice; it offers hope, encouragement, and reaffirmation of one’s individuality. While the book prioritizes independence, Argov also emphasizes the importance of partnership. A relationship flourishes when both partners can be secure within themselves while still supporting one another. By communicating clearly and confidently, each partner should celebrate the other’s space instead of monopolizing it. This balance deepens intimacy while simultaneously preserving individuality, which is the essence of healthy love. Argov completes her exploration of relationships by reinforcing a key takeaway. A happy woman is the most attractive person in the room. When partnered with someone who understands their significance, a woman becomes magnetic. Sherry Argov’s “Why Men Love Bitches” is an assertive manifesto that advises women to love themselves fiercely. Through this perspective, readers can harness confidence, self-love, and respect within love, ensuring that they are never seen as a mere doormat but rather as the queen of their life’s narrative.
阿尔戈列举了一般情况下分成两类的女人:乖乖女和坏女人。先不说什么是坏女人,来看一个典型的乖乖女—
♀对喜欢的男人象忠犬,招之即来挥之即去;又象电视机,他想开就开,想关就关;
♀本来周末已有安排,对方一个电话过来,就扔下一切,驱车几十公里赴约;
♀对于从来不同意事先约好见面时间的男人也十分顺从;
♀没车坐机场巴士也要去接远道而归的男人;
♀为了捧红心上人的作品自己从零开始学做经纪人;
1、“坏“女人从不立刻回应男人的短信和电话,即使手机就在她手边。
对策:无需等待她的回复,忙你自己的事情,但一定要通过社交网络,展示你充实且美好的生活。实际上一直在监控你社交网络的她,总会忍不住想融入其中。这时候,你的手机就会响起短信提示音了。
2、“坏”女人不肯改变自己的既定行程,时常拒绝你的诚挚邀约。
对策:这并代表她不在乎你,反而恰恰证明她把你当男朋友,而不是“男闺蜜”。被拒绝后,请绅士的祝她既定行程顺利,并表示愿意等她的聚会结束后,开车接送她回家,这比请她吃晚餐更贴心。
3、“坏”女人让男人们感觉到,她爱自己胜过一切。
对策:收起你的玻璃心,她最爱自己并不代表她不爱你。每一个成熟的人都应该先学会“自爱”,然后才有资格去爱别人。让“坏”女人认识到你也是爱自己胜过一切,因为她喜欢懂得爱自己的男人。
4、“坏”女人不断声明,对于犯错的男人,她随时都会转身离去。
对策:离开并不等于不会回来,你无需因为害怕失去,而受“坏”女人摆布。你需要提前做好工作的是,让“坏”女人明白,你是一个能够独立思考的人,是非准则不由她一人决定。
5、“坏“女人从不让男人掌控自己,谁都不能独有她。
对策:这是“坏”女人在故意激发男人的征服欲,她深谙“得不到才是最好的”这个道理。你要配合她演好这出戏,然后给她最多自由的你,渐渐就成了她最不舍得离开的“牢笼”。
6、“坏”女人喜欢玩“一个耳光加一个糖豆”的游戏。
对策:“坏”女人会以有事为由,拒绝明晚与你约会,可当晚她又会临时告知你,她可以赴约。因为她盘算着,你会像个心爱玩具失而复得的小孩,对她感激不尽。这种情况下,你的正确回应是,告诉她你已经约好朋友一起去打球了。
7、“坏”女人好像能看穿你的小心思,你的情话总被她冷漠应对。
对策:在恋爱博弈中,人人都难免犯贱,聪明的“坏”女人早已洞悉一切。所以你不要刻意的去讨好她,不要把甜言蜜语挂在嘴边。有事说事,没事就闭嘴,是与“坏”女人交往的最好模式。
8、“坏”女人的床总是很难上,在楼道里就与你道晚安。
对策:做爱之前,男人糊涂,女人清醒;做爱之后,男人清醒,女人糊涂。承认吧,如果第一次约会时,“坏”女人就把身体给了你,你反而会担心更多。保持你的耐心,按捺你的欲望,当她缓缓解开睡衣的那一瞬间,你会发现等待是值得的。
9、“坏”女人从不做出承诺,让你倍感不安。
对策:“坏”女人是只狡猾的狐狸,她很会装聋作哑,虽然嘴上不说,但她心里和明镜似的。不要强迫“坏”女人做承诺,但你要主动向她做承诺。虽然表面上,她对此只会轻蔑一笑,但这只狐狸心里已经吃到了甜葡萄。
10、“坏”女人似乎并不需要你,你感觉自己可有可无。
对策:“坏”女人和你在一起,并不是因为她“需要“你,而是因为她“选择”了你,你们是平等的伴侣。因此,你无需主动给她什么,只需向她展示你可以提
**[#Redefine]() the word BITCH#**
**She maintains her independence.**
**She doesn't pursue him.**
**She is mysterious.**
**She maintains a sense of humor.**
**She places a high value on herself.**
**She is passionate about something other than him.**
**She treats her body like a finely tuned machine**

Suzhou Creek and North Bund Walking Tour
Suzhou Creek and North Bund Walking Tour
Come with me for a stroll along my favorite part of Suzhou Creek and North Bund, passing numerous historical sites and culture landmarks while enjoying some natural peace and quiet at the same time. The entire route is about 5 kilometers long and aims to lead participants in reading architecture, appreciating culture, and engaging with history and meet and greet new friends on the tour..
Suzhou Creek, the biggest tributary of the Huangpu, runs through central areas of the city and stretches from the Outer Ring to the Bund.
Suzhou creek waterfront has been revitalized in recent years to provide uninterrupted walking paths, new gardens and ample resting areas.
The riverbanks in Huangpu District, about 3 kilometers from Chengdu Road Bridge to Waibaidu Bridge near the Bund, has become a pedestrian-favored corridor
Let us enjoy the enchanting scenery of the Suzhou Creek not only on foot,
Waibaidu Bridge (Garden bridge)
This is China’s first all-steel bridge and, in Shanghai style, lights up in different colors in the evening. This steel bridge from 1907 is one of a few unequal height truss bridge in China. It played a part in numerous books and movies With its rich history and unique design, it is a symbol of ShanghaiSimply enjoy the walk on the wooden deck of this old bridge
Suzhou Creek holds a special place in the hearts of Shanghai residents. The region's silks and ceramics were carried along the Maritime Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), and centuries later the area became an early industrial hub of the city.
Since Shanghai was forced to open its port in 1843, the creek has been the backdrop for dramatic landmarks in the city's history. It was the scene of wartime suffering and the birthplace of China's earliest national industries.
North Bund offers innovation, history, stunning skyline views
Shanghai’s riverside areas have already been transformed with greenery and walking paths, shikumen residences are being renovated, and the historic North Bund is becoming the city’s “most beautiful parlor.” Let's have a walk along North Bund, a gem with stunning views of the Lujiazui skyline, plenty of thrilling adventures to get up to, and countless photo-worthy moments waiting for you to capture.

AI Development Risk Case Studies and how Agentic AI is the future of Appsec
OWASP is ending use of Meetup, so I built an eventbrite for the event.
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ai-development-risk-case-studies-and-how-agentic-ai-is-the-future-of-appsec-tickets-1981450622150?aff=oddtdtcreator
AI is transforming how software is designed, developed, and deployed, dramatically accelerating velocity while introducing new categories of risk. As organizations adopt AI-assisted coding, autonomous agents, and increasingly complex model interactions, traditional application security approaches struggle to keep pace. This talk examines emerging AI-driven risks through real case studies from the field, highlighting issues such as insecure code generation, data-leakage pathways, model manipulation, and evolving supply-chain threats. We will explore how engineering teams must adapt their people, processes, and governance models to secure AI-augmented development workflows effectively. The session will then introduce agentic AI as the next evolution in application security—autonomous systems capable of continuous analysis, multi-step reasoning, and real-time remediation. Attendees will learn how combining agentic AI with modern practices can reduce developer friction, improve coverage, and create a future-ready application security strategy designed for the demands of AI-native software development
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Compensation Data
**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data**
Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics.
The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth.
The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical.
(note: we are back at Rev1 this month!)

Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers
The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way?
This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents.
Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to:
Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture.
Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases.
Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI.
Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem.
Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.
