*This event features presentations in both English and Bulgarian.* Силен старт на крипто лятото! Миналия месец се надявахме, че сме оцелели след дъното. Този месец видяхме токени, които се покачиха с до 50%. Изглежда не сме сгрешили. След месеци на спадове, несигурност и пазар, който дълго време изглеждаше изтощен, нещо най-после се размърда. И не само на графиките. Имаме три добри новини за този месец: Първо, пазарът показа зъби. Второ, САЩ продължават да бутат напред с добра крипто регулация. Трето (и може би най-забавното): Prediction Markets се оказаха толкова успешни, че България реши да ги блокира (за първи път още през февруари). Когато регулатор бърза да забрани нещо, обикновено това е знак, че там се случва нещо интересно. На следващия Sofia Crypto Meetup ще обсъдим: Кои токени се представиха най-добре и защо. Какво всъщност представляват Prediction Markets и защо толкова много хора (и държави) говорят за тях. Какво може да очакваме през лятото - кои са реалните сценарии, а не магическите прогнози. Никакви празни приказки, никакви обещания за бързо забогатяване. Просто разговор по същество, добър анализ и достатъчно време за въпроси и дискусия. Елате да го отпразнуваме заедно. Дъното е зад нас, лятото е пред нас, а разговорът ще бъде интересен. Очаквайте и много специален гост!

Здравейте, WordPress хора! Както знаете, благодарение на Matt Mullenweg и Mike Little, на 27 май 2003 г. един млад проект с отворен код направи първите си стъпки в света - и ето ни 23 години по-късно, все още влюбени в него. Двама души го създадоха, но хиляди доброволци, разработчици, дизайнери и ентусиасти по целия свят го превърнаха в това, което е днес. Затова на 27 май 2026 г. отново ще се съберем в София, за да вдигнем тост (и хапнем парче торта) за рождения ден на любимата ни платформа! Какво ни очаква? Среща с хора, които говорят на нашия език - този на темите, плъгините, къстъмизациите и късните нощи в WordPress редактора. Очакват ни разговори, хапване, торта и онова специално усещане, когато общността се събере на едно място. Докато ние празнуваме в София, хиляди WordPress ентусиасти по целия свят правят същото – а ние сме част от тази голяма картина. Без значение дали си разработчик с 15 години стаж, дизайнер, който прави първия си сайт, блогър, агенция или просто човек, който обича отворения код – има място за теб на тази маса. Малко повече инфо: 🎟️ Събитието е напълно безплатно. Единственото, което трябва да направите, е да се регистрирате в събитието в Meetup.com. 📍 Мястото? Добре познатото ни Sky Beauty Lab! 👕 Донеси любимият си суаг! Извади от гардероба най-готината WordPress тениска, шапката с логото, чорапите с Wapuu – каквото имаш. И не забравяй да публикуваш снимки с хаштаговете #WP23 и #WP23Sofia, за да покажем на света как празнува българската общност. Благодарности: Това парти нямаше да е възможно без партньорите ни, които стоят зад WordPress Sofia Meetup и общността ни вече години наред – [SuperHosting.BG](SuperHosting.BG), [Delta.BG](Delta.BG), [Jump.bg](Jump.bg) и [JetHost.BG](JetHost.BG). Благодарим ви, приятели! <3 Заредете доброто си настроение, отворете календара и си запазете датата. За тези, които не знаят: месечните срещи на WordPress Sofia Meetup събират десетки хора (независимо дали са професионалисти или абсолютно начинаещи), които по някакъв начин са свързани с най-използваната система за управление на съдържанието в света. Те са напълно безплатни и отворени за всички, които обичат WordPress - единственото нещо, което трябва да направите, за да присъствате, е да се регистрирате в събитията тук. Очакваме ви!

Combinatorial optimization problems arise across logistics, scheduling, and engineering, and C++ remains a language of choice when performance matters. This lecture takes a practical look at solving such problems in C++, using the Electric Vehicle Routing Problem as a running example. We begin with an exact solver, formulating the problem as a mixed-integer program and trying to solve it through GLPK's C API directly from C++. Exact methods, however, quickly hit their limits on real-world instances. The second half of the talk turns to metaheuristics: how they are designed, why C++ is particularly well suited for implementing them, and what design choices matter most in practice. We'll walk through a concrete implementation, touching on data structures for fast neighborhood evaluation, generic algorithm design with templates, and the performance considerations that separate a prototype from a production-ready solver. The goal is not to advocate for one approach over another, but to show how C++ supports the full spectrum of optimization techniques.

This is the 50th Anniversary of the Judgment of Paris. Significantly, in 1976, California wines unexpectedly outperformed French wines in a blind tasting with nine French judges, challenging the perception that only French wines were of the highest quality. This event helped elevate the status of California wines on the global stage and is considered a pivotal moment in wine history. House Wine, in Worthington, modestly, recreates that moment in history with a tasting both American and French wines in a fun, casual atmosphere. Come at 6:45, pay your fee at the register and join your friends for this "Judgey" tasting. https://www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/wine/the-judgment-of-paris-turns-40/ Arrive when you can and we'll have a table for gathering. Feel free to bring your own food as it is welcomed at this local gem or order from the newly opened Worthington Inn, or local favorites such as Dewey's, Everest, Jet, Worthington Tavern and The Whitney. Each person pays their tasting fee, typically $15, and gets their wine glass, then approximately five pours of the wines being served. **Parking is tough**. Try the second lot behind House Wine accessed by the land by the back parking lot or the municipal lot one block north of House Wine. **Waiver and Liability and Attendance Policy.** Participation by you and your guests means you agree to the Waiver of Liability and Attendance Policies on our Group Page. People who have two more or Attendance policy violations are subject to removal from the group.

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.

Happy Birthday to all June birthday people! I put this on the schedule because it's my birthday month, and this is my favorite place; it's also Dave Koczur's (MAFIA meetup leader) birthday on June 8; if you who are reading this have a June birthday as well, tell us in the Comments! For anyone off work or with a flexible schedule, come to Pistachio Vera in German Village for a tea and pastry. We will try to get a table outside. If convenient, you could put a fold up chair in your car in case we can all sit outside but we run out of chairs. https://www.pistaciavera.com/

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

This is "***New Members Night***." If you are one of the many folks on the fence about coming to your first wine tasting with the *Hilliard Wine Club*, this is the night to come. There will be many other new people, so you won't be alone. And the regulars will be there to help make you feel welcome. We're a relaxed and warm group. We hope to see you. **SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings, but this night is a special overture to those who don't want to feel that they are the only new person in the room. Don't worry. You won't be. And don't hesitate to RSVP to other events. **OLD MEMBERS NOTE**: Hey Old Members! You're not excluded from this event. We expect to see you there to help make the new members feel welcome. **Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (*Cash or Venmo only please*). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything. **Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine. **Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*
