**Are you tired of cookie-cutter parenting advice that doesn't seem to work for your child?** Most parenting strategies focus on trying to change or fix a child's behavior. It’s exhausting, frustrating, and rarely yields long-term results. This interactive, 3-hour weekend meetup is designed to flip the script. Instead of guessing, we use the **TMGT™ Biometric Blueprint** to decode exactly how your child is uniquely and biologically wired to learn, react, and grow. ### 💡 What We Will Discover Together: * **The Learning Blueprint:** See exactly how your child naturally processes and absorbs new information. * **The Pressure Gauge:** Discover how they handle setbacks and what specific environments they need to thrive under stress. * **Zero Guesswork:** Move past mood-dependent personality quizzes. Get an objective understanding of their innate traits. ### 🛠️ How It Works (And Why It’s Safe): This is a live, hands-on experiential session. * **Who should attend:** This workshop is highly optimized for parents with children aged 4 to 16. **Your child must attend with you**, as we will be mapping their traits in real-time! * **Is it secure?** Absolutely. We use zero digital scanners or tracking databases. Fingerprints are simply stamped on physical paper on-site to look at the visual pattern coding (loops and whorls). No data is recorded, stored, or digitized. ### 🤝 About the Organizer & Sponsor This complimentary community discovery experience is proudly sponsored and brought to you by **DKO**, an agency group of Prudential Assurance Company Singapore. As part of our community talent development and career-wellness initiatives, our goal is to provide a value-first, educational environment to help local families thrive.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served. This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.
