Women's Surfing

We will start the session with some light stretching exercises to warm us up, and help to prepare us for the run. The pace of the run will be steady, depending on who is running with us on the day. Days when we have a large group we may break into multiple groups, each operating independently at their own pace. Saturdays are good for intermediate runners, and is usually a 10km run, again at a steady pace. If you're looking to get into running, come along on Tuesday or Thursday mornings and I will coach you, at your pace, to get you up to running (jogging) to 5km without stops. The only thing I will ask, if you're a beginner, is that you're able to walk for approx 30 minutes at a relaxed pace. PLEASE NOTE: That, if you RSVP a particular event, then please ensure that you attend, as there may be other members relying on you for company on the run. IMPORTANT NOTE: Any run or activity that you participate in with the group will be at your own risk. Usually we have a post run (after our cool down) coffee in the Dash container at the Hole in the Wall pub.

There will be other people on this course besides people from this meetup. There are different course dates, so RSVP and you can choose another date if you wish. The cost of this PADI Scuba Dive course is about 650 euros or so and it is a part time course. The duration is over about a month or so. https://www.padi.com/ https://youtu.be/kvmgy4XsqrU This (PADI) scuba dive course is also a legal qualification requirement for scuba divers. The first dives will be in a large swimming pool 5m deep. If you like you can also do a pool try dive to see how you go before you start your dive course. You will be shown how to use scuba diving equipment. This PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three main phases: * Knowledge Development (online, home study or in a classroom ) to understand basic principles of scuba diving (5 modules) * Confined Water Dives to learn basic scuba skills (5 pool training dives). * Open Water Dives to review your skills and explore (4 open water dives). * Once you become a PADI qualified scuba diver you can do open water boat dives and weekend Atlantic sea boat dives and or Fyords boat scuba dives trips will be avaliable to you around Ireland and overseas. ## **Course Schedule (3-Week Format)** ### **Week One** **7:00 pm – 9:00 pm:** Induction, equipment orientation, safety briefing **9:00 pm – 10:00 pm:** Confined Water Session 1 ### **Week Two** **7:00 pm – 9:00 pm:** Knowledge Development + skills briefing **9:00 pm – 10:00 pm:** Confined Water Session 2 ### **Week Three** **7:00 pm – 9:00 pm:** Knowledge Development + final review **9:00 pm – 10:00 pm:** Confined Water Session 3 ✅ After your pool training, you're ready for your **two open-water dives.** People use Sea swimming for its healing salt properties,it washes viruses, bacteria and cleanse your skin amongst other things due to the sea salt content. There has been a large increase in people going swimming these last years. Scuba diving also refreshes your mind like hiking to start a new fresh day and a new work week. Anyone thinking about doing scuba diving this would be a good starting point for you.

✨ We are delighted to be hosted by Liberty IT this month. 🎤 Talk details will be coming soon. 📚 And thanks to [Packt](https://www.packtpub.com/), we have a physical book to raffle after the talk: * [Python Illustrated: Not another boring Python book, learn programming the fun way](https://www.packtpub.com/en-us/product/python-illustrated-9781836646327) by Maaike van Putten and Imke van Putten \-\-\- 🎟️ **PLEASE REGISTER ON LUMA TO ATTEND:** **[https://luma.com/pm0gpsda](https://luma.com/pm0gpsda)** \-\-\- **​Schedule (\*subject to change)** * ​18:30 Event Starts * ​18:40 Welcome and Introductions * ​18:50 Talk: Learning in Public, Again by Sarah Novotny * 19:15 Networking after * ​20:30 Event Ends **TALK DETAILS:** **TALK 1: Learning in Public, Again** (10-20 mins) I spent two decades building software communities. Kubernetes, NGINX, MySQL. And then I moved to Dublin and enrolled in a master's programme in political science at Trinity College. People have asked me why I took a left turn away from a perfectly good career. The honest answer is that I kept running into questions my industry experience couldn't answer. How do open source communities actually function as political systems? What does "technological sovereignty" mean when the phrase shows up in EU regulation, national security strategy, and corporate marketing decks, all in the same week? Why is corporate investment in OSS not patently obvious? I needed different tools. So I learned Python. Not the "I'll automate a spreadsheet" kind. The "I'm running topic models on 1,600 EU consultation responses to figure out who is shaping digital policy and how" kind. I learned statistics. I learned how to scrape legislative databases. I learned how to be bad at something in front of people half my age, which, if you've spent twenty years being the expert in the room, is its own special discipline. This talk is about what happens when you decide the next interesting problem matters more than the comfort of the last solved one. It's about moving countries, going back to school, picking up a programming language for the first time in decades, and discovering that the willingness to be a beginner is a skill that compounds. Whether you're 25 and pivoting, 45 and reinventing, or anywhere in between, the capacity to start over is not a concession. It's a superpower. **About Sarah Novotny** Sarah Novotny is a technology executive renowned for her pioneering leadership in open source, cloud computing, infrastructure automation, and big data.. She has led an Open Source Ecosystem and Strategy group for both Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform. During her tenure at Google, Sarah played a pivotal role in expanding the Kubernetes open source project leadership and represented the company during the founding of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. At her core, she is driven by the ethos of open-source collaboration – where every line of code and every contributor interaction contributes to a greater collective purpose. She believes in fostering mutual aid and community care to build bridges across diverse coding languages and experiences. * [https://sarahnovotny.com](https://sarahnovotny.com/) * [https://linkedin.com/in/sarahnovotny](https://linkedin.com/in/sarahnovotny) **TALK 2: I'm a Software Engineer and I (Barely) Code** (10-15 mins) I dabbled in coding for years while working as a library manager, learning to write "Hello World" in at least four languages before moving to Belfast and coding my way through a master's degree in Software Development. I took my first job as a software engineer only to find that - surprise! - I barely code at all. I work in Machine Learning Operations, and while I touch a whole lot of Python code, most of my time is spent working with configuration files and infrastructure-as-code. Can I still call myself a software engineer if I'm not writing code? What does this mean when I’m faced with the next inevitable coding assessment, at this job or the next? This talk raises questions about what defines a software engineer in a world of increased software abstraction and, while I promise I won't talk too much about it, AI. **ABOUT Frances Veit** Associate Software Engineer, Liberty IT Frances is originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, but has called Northern Ireland home since 2018. She holds a Master's degree in Library Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Master's in Software Development from Queen's University, Belfast. Frances is glad to have done her software training before AI was on the scene, but she's equally grateful to have an on-screen mentor while she figures out what she's doing. When she's not not-coding, she's at the beach with her two little kids, or baking. * [https://linkedin.com/in/frances-veit-49169926/](https://linkedin.com/in/frances-veit-49169926/) \-\-\- 🎟️ **PLEASE REGISTER ON LUMA TO ATTEND:** **[https://luma.com/pm0gpsda](https://luma.com/pm0gpsda)** \-\-\- **💖 THANKS** **Sponsors** * [Liberty IT](https://www.liberty-it.ie/about-us/overview): Hosting * [Packt](https://www.packtpub.com/): Raffle prize **Community Partners:** * [Coding Grace](https://codinggrace.com/) * [PSF](https://www.python.org/psf/): Meetup * [PyLadies](https://pyladies.com/) 🔍 **FAQ** **Note that all our events are 18s+.

So there is no need for mats or special clothing. All across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. Meanwhile, the most transformative energy is hiding in plain sight within us, and it's natural, sustainable, and infinitely renewable. It's called inner kundalini energy. And everyone already has it — everyone!. It is often likened to an inner feminine or motherly energy which automatically knows about us and what is needed to help us restore balance and harmony within our subtle being. It works spontaneously, effortlessly, organically, and cannot be paid for. Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple, time-honoured technique that lets you tap into that energy and harness its power to become better balanced and better connected to yourself — emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. If you're having trouble juggling the challenges in your life, Sahaja Yoga Meditation might help you manage stress, master your emotions and find solutions to your problems. You may enjoy better health, better focus, and a deeper understanding of the universe and your place in it. Meditation is not just for mystics and monks. Sahaja Yoga meditation is for everyone. Anyone can do it. It's that easy. But with the Sahaja Yoga experience, you'll quickly realise it isn't your typical Meditation. It's much more than just feeling peaceful and relaxed. Sahaja Yoga Meditation has many layers, varied and deep. Explore at your own pace, in your way. Our volunteer experts are always available to help. Ready to plug into your inner energy? A few minutes of your life may be all it takes to connect to your inner energy and light the path to lifelong transformation.
