Hi ladies! Join me for a hike this Sunday at Highbanks to start off the beginning of beautiful fall weather. Plan on 4 miles at 20ish min/mile. Meet at Nature Center at noon.

We are getting together to talk about the intersection of open source intelligence and machine learning. This meetup is designed for practitioners, researchers, and anyone curious about how AI tools are changing the way we collect, analyze, and verify data. The goal is to move past the theory and share practical approaches for mining insights in an increasingly noisy digital landscape. Whether you are a seasoned analyst or just starting to experiment with these technologies, this is a space to exchange ideas and troubleshoot common challenges. We will keep the format informal, focusing on open conversation and peer-to-peer learning rather than a formal presentation. If you have been working on a project or have a specific technique you have been testing, feel free to bring it up. We look forward to seeing everyone in person and building out our local community here in Columbus. If you think you can make it, please go ahead and RSVP so we can get an accurate headcount for the space.

We are getting together to talk shop and share techniques for building beautiful, healthy planted tanks. Whether you are currently struggling to balance your CO2 levels or you are looking for tips on hardscaping and plant placement, this session is meant to be an informal space to learn from one another. We will spend some time discussing the common challenges of aquascaping and how to create the specific aesthetic you are aiming for in your own setup. This gathering is for anyone who appreciates the craft of aquatic gardening, regardless of your skill level. The goal is to connect with other local enthusiasts, troubleshoot any issues you might be having with your current tank, and get some fresh inspiration for your next project. It is a great chance to swap advice and talk through the details that make a tank thrive. If you have been wanting to get more involved in the local hobby, please click the RSVP button so we can get a sense of how many people to expect.

**How does a TennisColumbus Season / League run?** The league advertises the season dates and builds a queue of committed players for the season. **Kickoff Day - Nov. 10th** The start day of the season, players are sent a kickoff email that contains important information about the league, the link where your league standings and players contact information. We guarantee 6 playing partners at your playing level, but have been averaging closer to 15+ partners in most cities. The number of different levels we run is solely based upon the number of players enrolled for the league kickoff. Typically we are running a Skilled-3.0, Competitive-3.5 and Advanced-4.0 in most cities. **Your Task - "Flexible Scheduling"** After this kickoff email is sent, it is the **player's task to communicate with other players**. Players should work with their partners to find an agreeable time and location to play the match. While TennisColumbus doesn't mandate your playing schedule, it is recommended that players schedule at least one match per week. By request of the players, we started to allow players to play 1 rematch per season. The regular season is all about playing as much as you can. As of Feb. 10, 2026 we've had an amazing 2,017 players play more than [20 matches in a season](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/info/MatchesInSeason). **Where to Play?** Play at your local free tennis courts, tennis parks, condo courts or tennis clubs. The league strongly suggests that players jointly try to pick a tennis court location convenient to both. We provide an extensive list of [tennis courts](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/TennisCourts), including # of courts, lighting, hitting walls, etc. We strive to keep this list up-to-date. TennisColumbus sets up a must play dates to push players out on the courts. The final deadline is the date marking the end of the season, at which point players with 3-5 wins (Actually total is specified on the division page) will qualify for a post-season playoff to determine the league champion. **How to Play?** Players can use three mostly standard playing formats: 2 out of 3 sets, 2 sets with 10 point super tie-breaker or the 10-game pro set (First to 10, used when court time is limited). On Feb. 2018, we added Fast Tennis 4 game pro set format as a valid format. **Playoffs** Each season concludes with a playoffs where players with anywhere from 3 to 5 season wins qualifies for a single elimination tourney. The champion is awarded based upon the league [Prize Pool](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/info/prize_pool3). Each singles league champion also receives a playing entry into one of two national championships we run. **[JOIN TODAY](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/join)** Full price is $39.95 to play in a season. The earlier you sign up we typically offer discounts during these tough economic times. Just go to the [Join Page](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/join) and complete the short form. We'd be happy to find you dedicated tennis playing partners.

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

This will be a very cool event! We will start with a tour of the Rumpke Recycling & Resource Center, the largest and most technically advanced recycling center in North America.

From there we'll go to Nelson Park, which is about 1.4 miles from Rumpke, has parking and sits directly on Alum Creek Trail (which is paved). We'll walk about 3 miles (out and back) on Alum Creek and then head to Scotty's Cafe for lunch.
