**Join us on a unique trip, suitable for everyone, to see one of UNESCO's World Heritage National Parks.** **You may see the reviews [here](https://www.meetup.com/AAA-London-Group/events/91199492/)** [Photos are here](https://www.facebook.com/AAALondonGroup/photos?tab=album&album_id=1189766161223673) & below the event description. **Please, send all trip questions to aaalondongroup@yahoo.co.uk** Croatia is one of the ecologically best-preserved parts of Europe. It is a land where the hues of the sunny and warm Mediterranean happily blend with the tranquillity and freshness of the mountains and the gentle sway of the golden plains of Pannonia. **Plitvice Lakes National Park is Croatia's first National park, established in 1949,** covering 296.85 square km of breathtaking natural splendour, **making it the largest among the country's 8 national parks, ranging in altitude from 367 m to 1279 m above sea level.** **The Plitvice National Park is beautiful in any season.** The park was inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1979, recognising its "outstanding natural beauty and undisturbed production of travertine (tufa) through chemical and biological action". It represents a phenomenon of karst hydrography. The park harbours a grand collection of waterfalls, a gallery of lakes, forests and a diversity of animal life. The lakes are renowned for their distinctive colours, ranging from azure to green, grey or blue. They change constantly depending on the number of minerals or organisms in the water and the angle of sunlight. The 16 lakes are formed by natural dams of travertine & separated into upper and lower lakes. There are 8 km of good pathways and wooden walking trails around lakes, accessible even by wheelchair and steeper, narrower mountain paths, too. We also plan to visit the small but stunning **village of Rastoke,** which is formed by the play of nature on the place where the River Slunjčica connects with the River Korana. Nature played with the blue-green waters and spread them into many big and small waterfalls. Rastoke is known for its 18th-century flour mills and homes, built in traditional architectural styles. **STAY INFORMED** **[Join the AAA Hiking Mailing List for our Special Offers.](https://www.aaahiking.co.uk/newsletter-signup)** POSSIBLE ENTERTAINMENT There is a chance to have a local folk band on the last night if we are a large group and prepared to chip in.

Širenjem našeg unutarnjeg prostora dolazimo na sve viši nivo svjesnosti. No naše fizičko tijelo nisko izvibrirano, obilno hranjeno negativnim emocijama i mislima stvara prepreke tom širenju i naša životna energija se smanjuje… Osvijestimo naš unutarnji prostor, očistimo blokade, omogućimo našem tijelu protok, omogućimo si unutarnji mir. Stanje unutarnjeg mira nam pomaže u lakšem suočavanju sa stresom, sposobnost donošenja boljih odluka i podiže kvalitetu života. Svojim dolaskom i donacijom izravno podržavate rad našeg Kluba.

Zagreb language and culture exchange meetup. Chat in many languages, meet new people and plan adventures together. Hey everyone! 👋 As spring arrives in Zagreb and the city wakes up again, we’re keeping Thursdays social with **Small Friday International Zagreb** ([SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/)) a relaxed international meetup where locals, expats, Erasmus students and travellers gather to chat, exchange languages, share stories and plan the next adventure. Think of it as Zagreb’s global living room with lively conversations, and that moment when a random Thursday evening decides to surprise you. ✨ Whether you’ve just arrived in Zagreb, been here a while, or live around the corner, you’re very welcome. 📍 **When & Where** 📍 **The Beertija** Pavla Hatza 16, Zagreb 🕗 **Every other Thursday from 8PM** ✨ Free to join: simply grab a drink and support our host bar 🍺🎸 ✨ Open to everyone: all ages, backgrounds and language levels 💬 **What Happens at [SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/)**?

Magnolia trees bloom across the city, café terraces fill with conversation, and longer sunny days invite people outdoors. Locals stroll through parks, cycle along the Sava, run around Jarun and Bundek lakes, or escape to the nearby Medvednica mountain for hikes and views above the city. At the same time, Zagreb’s cultural calendar blossoms with exhibitions, concerts, festivals and theatre performances, while markets like Dolac overflow with seasonal produce: asparagus, wild garlic, strawberries and fresh flavours of the season. It’s the perfect time to meet people and explore the city together. And many of those plans begin right here, at [SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/). 🌍 🍺 **Why The Beertija?** Because it’s more than a bar, it’s our headquarters.

Što danas zaista donosi rezultate kampanjama i zašto se marketinška industrija sve više vraća brendu, kreativnosti i dugoročnom učinku? Nakon rovinjskog gostovanja MMZG-a na Danima komunikacija, najvećeg regionalnog festivala komunikacija i kreativnosti, ovoga puta DK goes MMZG! Poslušajte dio ekipe iz Organizacijskog odbora Dana komunikacija kako s Danijelom Štihom razgovaraju o ključnim pravilima koja će obilježiti uspješne kampanje u 2026. Kroz uvide iz najrelevantnijih svjetskih strukovnih istraživanja, poput WARC-a, Cannesa i IPA-e, panelisti će otvoriti pitanja učinkovitosti, kreativnosti i strateških odluka koje danas čine razliku između hrabrih i generičkih brendova. Panelisti: * **Jelena Fiškuš** \- Studio Sonda * **Anđela Buljan Šiber** \- Izone\.agency * **Damir Ciglar** – Imago Ogilvy * **Danijel Štih**, moderator – WPP Media Vidimo se 8.4. u 19 h na Zavrtnici u Wespa Spaces! 🤝 O PANELISTIMA * **Jelena Fiškuš**, kreativna direktorica i suosnivačica kreativnog Studia Sonda kojeg vodi sa Seanom Poropatom. Pobornici su ideje da dizajn i komunikacija moraju biti logični, iskreni i intuitivni, a najbolji okidač za kreativnost sadržajan je i ispunjen život. Za projekte s područja dizajna i komunikacije, dobitnici su brojnih domaćih i međunarodnih priznanja. Predsjednica je Uprave Hrvatske udruge društava za tržišno komuniciranje (HURA) i IAB-a Croatia. * **Anđela Buljan Šiber** je članica organizacijskog odbora Dana komunikacija, ključnog regionalnog festivala tržišnih komunikacija i vlasnica agencije Izone. Od 2019. do 2023. vodila je HURA-u i IAB kao njihova predsjednica, a uz rad u industriji, jednako predano bavi se i znanošću, nastojeći pritom znanost približiti praksi. * **Damir Ciglar** je utemeljio i vodio (do 1. aprila) Imago reklamnu agenciju, ili Imago Ogilvy, od 1992. godine. Voli se praviti pametan i kreativan. Istini za volju, ima par desetljeća kreativnih i marketinških iskustava (od kojih neka i u stranim državama), kao i nekoliko nedovršenih, pa čak i dovršenih postdiplomskih studija (gdje ima iskustva i kao predavač), tako da ima i zrnce marketinške teorije. Uglavnom, više o njegovim životnim postignućima možete uvijek pogledati na www.imago.hr. Ili na www.hearth.hr. Ili na www.rrgr.hr. Ili na www.drap.hr. * **Danijel Štih** je pasionirani kolekcionar briefova, zaljubljenik u spajanje nepovezivog i glavni strateg u hrvatskom uredu medijske agencije WPP Media, jednog od globalnih lidera marketinške komunikacije. I makar je prošao svaki trend, hit i modu koja se u zadnjih 25 godina desila u našoj industriji, još uvijek je pravi predstavnik Generacije X i čvrsto vjeruje da je dobar proizvod za fer cijenu - sve što ljudi žele. \*\*\* 18:30-19:00 Okupljanje sudionika, Wespa spaces Zavrtnica 19:00-20:15 Panel rasprava: "5 pravila koja povećavaju rezultate kampanja u 2026." 20:15-20:30 Otvorena rasprava i pitanja publike 20:30-... Networking i fun 😊 \*\*\* **SPONZORI** * **B2Snow** je hibridni poslovni događaj na snijegu koji spaja storytelling, lightning talkove i panele o riziku, timovima i wellbeingu, bez PowerPointa i krutih formata, s fokusom na stvarne razgovore. Jedan od rijetkih, a možda i jedini business event gdje keynote počinje na žičari, dok skijanje prirodno otvara nove poslovne perspektive, prilike za networking i inspiraciju za hrabrije odluke u poslu. * [MediaKit](https://mediakit.hr/) je informativna platforma za sve koji žive marketing, PR, medije i event industriju.

Na novom LevelUp Meetup imamo priliku čuti jednog od najuglednijih hrvatskih psihijatara i psihoanalitičkih psihoterapeuta, **prof. dr. sc. Darka Marčinka**, predstojnika Klinike za psihijatriju i psihološku medicinu KBC Zagreb i redovitog profesora Medicinskog fakulteta u Zagrebu. Profesor Marčinko već desetljećima istražuje duboke poveznice između psihičkog zdravlja, međuljudskih odnosa i društvenog konteksta. Naš dragi gost će nas provesti kroz nekoliko ključnih tema koje obilježavaju suvremeno doba: * **Dimenzije stresa i mentalnog zdravlja** – kako suvremeni život oblikuje našu otpornost i ranjivost * **Transgeneracijska trauma i usamljenost Hrvata** – zašto je usamljenost postala gotovo nacionalna bolest i koja je razlika između usamljenosti i samoće * **Zašto je narcizam gubitnička strategija** – unatoč prividnoj snazi i grandioznosti, narcistički način života na kraju donosi samo patnju i izolaciju * **Važnost dobrih odnosa** – osvrt na najnoviju knjigu profesora Marčinka i njegovog tima „Dobri odnosi“ (2025.), koja pokazuje da su kvalitetni međuljudski odnosi možda najvažniji zaštitni faktor mentalnog zdravlja * **Socijalni faktori** u nastanku i održavanju psihičkih teškoća – jer više nismo u mogućnosti promatrati čovjeka izvan njegovog društvenog i kulturnog konteksta * **Polarizacija u suvremenom svijetu** – psihodinamski pogled na duboke podjele koje vidimo u društvu, obiteljima i među bliskim ljudima Profesor Marčinko spojit će kliničko iskustvo, psihoanalitičku dubinu i dugogodišnje znanstveno istraživanje kako bi nam pomogao bolje razumjeti sebe, svoje najbliže i društvo u kojem živimo. Predavanje nije samo teorijsko – ono je i praktično. Donosi uvide koji nam mogu pomoći u svakodnevnom životu, u odnosima s partnerom, djecom, roditeljima, kolegama i sa sobom samima. Ovo nije klasičan MeetUp – već večer iskrenog razgovora, inspiracije i konkretnih uvida koje možete odmah primijeniti u svom životu. MODERATOR: ZORAN SALOPEK 👉🏻 Prijave: Meetup platforma 📍 Pivana, Ilica 222, Zagreb 🗓 08.04.2026. u 18:00h Organizator: Međunarodni institut za emocionalnu zrelost – zajednica poduzetnika, stručnjaka i znanstvenika posvećenih razvoju pojedinaca i društva. 🌐 http://emotionalmaturity.eu

Modern websites are complex, dynamic, and protected by many anti-scraping systems. At the same time, companies need large amounts of structured data from the web. In this event, we will focus on a real scraping use case and use it to explain how modern scraping works. You will learn what kinds of protections websites use today, what tools can be used depending on website difficulty, and what technical challenges appear in practice. We will also show how machine learning and AI help turn messy web data into structured, usable information. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ⌚️ **Start**: 16:00 and end at 17:00, both online and offline in **Truhlárna Karlín** (Šaldova 388/5) - **Onsite attendance is limited to 100 people.** 🎙️ **Speakers:** Jan Mittner, Michal Marhan 🍻 **Networking** after the seminar – great food and cold beer waiting for you! **🎥 Recording:** After the event we will publish a recording and post a link to it in the comments. 🚪**Doors open** at 15:45, and the event officially starts at 16:00.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

**Comedy Night + Open Mic + Freestyle**: Tristan Shae and friends return to entertain us and to warm the group up for our open mic session. February's Open Mic / Comedy Night was a smash hit and it's worth a second night. We'll start with Tristan Shae and a couple of his friends. Tristan is an alternative comic from Columbus, Ohio. A counselor by day, Tristan explores how comedy can improve mental health by telling jokes and stories that muse on how absurd life can be from squeaky clean topics to not so clean ones. Tristan produces the variety show Cheaper Than Therapy, hosts the weekly Problem Child Alt Comedy Open Mic at The Attic, and can be found engaging in all sorts of silliness around the city from stand up shows at The Nest Theater, The Attic, or The Funny Bone, to improv and sketch shows with various groups at various venues such as The Hashtag Comedy Club. **On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\. **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. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. 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. **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. Please join us. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great new films! Option 1 (and the one I'll be seeing) is the top-reviewed comedy-drama, THE CHRISTOPHERS! The film is set in the art world and follows the estranged children of a former artist who hire a forger. It is directed by Steven Soderberg, stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel and has been earning rave reviews on the indie circuit. Option 2 is the latest action-thriller starring Bob Odenkirk, NORMAL! The film follows a temporary small-town sheriff who uncovers dark mysteries after a local bank robbery. Here are descriptions, trailers and our plan for this event: THE CHRISTOPHERS: The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases so they'll have a better inheritance when he dies. It is directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film is earning an excellent 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “dynamic, emotional and surprising journey” and a “compelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food.” Others call the film, an “incredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like it’s on the verge of a thriller!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79-EqzmdwY&t=20s NORMAL: This action-crime-thriller follows a man who comes to the sleepy town of Normal, Minnesota to serve as the temporary sheriff. But a bank robbery leads him to a criminal underground reaches throughout the entire town. The film is directed by Ben Wheatley and stars Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Headey. The film comes from the same team that brought us Nobody and the John Wick series, so expect an over-the-top, action-filled thrill ride! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmm-lM33Qw0&t=19s PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet in the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime. Once showtimes are announced, advance ticket purchase is advised (GFC website preferred)! Please list your movie of choice and seat number in the Comments section of this event. Showtimes and complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. PARKING: Close, convenient parking is available in the nearby garage (located between 9th and 11th, just off High St). Bring your ticket with you and have it validated at the theater and for $2, you’re covered for the night! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
