Women Writers

As such, if you are a male, only attend if another woman can accompany you 🙏🏼 “What does it look like when software stops living only on screens and starts interacting with the physical world?” Most software engineers are familiar with building systems that respond to clicks, APIs, and events. But a new class of systems is emerging where software also sees, understands, and acts in the real world. This talk introduces that shift in an accessible, developer friendly way. We will explore how modern AI systems connect perception (like images and language) to real world actions, and how developers design feedback loops where machines can observe, decide, and act. Using simple examples from robotics and manufacturing, we will break down complex ideas into familiar software concepts like event loops, state, and orchestration. In this session, you will learn: \* How “sense think act” systems map to patterns software engineers already know \* How computer vision and language models are combined to drive real world actions \* How XR can be used as a developer interface to monitor and guide intelligent systems \* What kinds of engineering roles and skills are emerging in this space No background in robotics or AI is required. This talk is designed to build intuition, not expertise, and to give you a broader view of where software engineering is heading beyond traditional web and backend systems.

Please come at 7:45am for the networking session. • FARM & COLLABORATE We gather together not to hunt business deals from one another but rather to explore means and opportunities to build our businesses through referrals and collaborations together. We appreciate that you don't push your business to our members and other visitors. • PREPARE A 15-SECOND INTRODUCTION Don't worry, despite sitting through numerous meetings, some of us are still as nervous as you. Just share a little about yourself, what you do, and how you can collaborate with the people present. 15 seconds go by really quickly anyway. • STAY FOR OPEN NETWORKING Don't be in a hurry to rush off after 9.30am. Many of our members and visitors stay for open networking well after the meeting, so do stay on and mingle with us for another 30 minutes to an hour. • MOST IMPORTANTLY, COME WITH AN OPEN MIND What makes BNI unique and efficient is the system and structure in place for business owners like us. Come with an open mind and understand why we are willing to sign up for the chapter and meet every week at 7.45am.

Hello Ladies, welcome to our very first reading session! :') I've always wanted to start my own no-pressure book club. No book of the month, doesn't matter if you're still at the same book for 2 months - the joy of reading is universal among those who pick one up. (BUTTT I'd love to find a fellow thriller buddy to read the same title together in some months!) I envision a small, warm group in an intimate space. We unwind, read, and pretty much chat about anything. I will do my best to seek out the cosiest, quietest nooks - my apologies if I'm not able to accommodate anything larger than 6-7 pax at time (This will depend on the location). Come as you are, with current read in hand and an open heart. Here's a gist of our sessions: \- Bring a book\! \(Physical/E\-book\) \- Buy a drink/food item \- Short round of intros \- We read for 1 hour \- We chat about your current read\, TBR lists\, discover genres\.\.\.or we can yap about anything at all\! \- There will be cute little activities in some sessions :\) ***Pilot Chapter* Details** 171b Sengkang East Drive 4pax P.S. We’ll get to meet Totoro. He’s Grace’s cat. Pretty exciting.

Meet other like-minded ladies 40 and above to chat, talk about life, fitness, food, books and other activities that we like! We'll be keeping the group size small so we can have deeper conversations and connections. NOTE: 1. This is a social meetup for building social connections. Please do not use this space to sell or promote any products or services; there are other meetups for that. 2. As we're meeting at a cafe, everyone who attends the meetup needs to order something from the cafe at the very least. I have no arrangements with the cafe, but I think it common courtesy for using their space. Looking forward to meeting you ladies soon!

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!

**Our February novel is: Julia by Sandra Newman** **This month is a classic, dystopian, fiction, literary fiction, women’s fiction, and science fiction novel. The book is 394 pages in print and 14 hours and 20 minutes on audiobook.** **An imaginative, feminist, and brilliantly relevant-to-today retelling of Orwell’s 1984, from the point of view of Winston Smith’s lover, Julia, by critically acclaimed novelist Sandra Newman.** Julia Worthing is a mechanic, working in the Fiction Department at the Ministry of Truth. It’s 1984, and Britain (now called Airstrip One) has long been absorbed into the larger trans-Atlantic nation of Oceania. Oceania has been at war for as long as anyone can remember, and is ruled by an ultra-totalitarian Party, whose leader is a quasi-mythical figure called Big Brother. In short, everything about this world is as it is in Orwell’s 1984. All her life, Julia has known only Oceania, and, until she meets Winston Smith, she has never imagined anything else. She is an ideal citizen: cheerfully cynical, always ready with a bribe, piously repeating every political slogan while believing in nothing. She routinely breaks the rules, but also collaborates with the regime when necessary. Everyone likes Julia. Then one day she finds herself walking toward Winston Smith in a corridor and impulsively slips him a note, setting in motion the devastating, unforgettable events of the classic story. Julia takes us on a surprising journey through Orwell’s now-iconic dystopia, with twists that reveal unexpected sides not only to Julia, but to other familiar figures in the 1984 universe. This unique perspective lays bare our own world in haunting and provocative ways, just as the original did almost seventy-five years ago.
