Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, universitĂ  Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille. Antonio

Dear Microsoft Swiss PSUG, We have planned another exciting event. **Place & Language:** Place: Isolutions AG, The Circle 38, 8058 ZĂŒrich (Hybrid with Teams) Language: EN **Session 1: Automated deployment of Azure SQL VM with PowerShell** Description: If you need to deploy (almost fully) automated an Azure SQL VM on a frequent basis, this session may be for you. You can use PowerShell, a language that a lot SQL Server DBAs know; and you can use your knowledge of this language for your advantage, so that you have an infrastructure as code solution to deploy your Azure SQL Server. I am going to show you how to do this, including restoring a SQL Server from a network attached file storage within your VM.

In this session, we’ll explore how to transition your scripts and automation from EWS to Microsoft Graph using PowerShell. You’ll learn practical steps, authentication options, and best practices for migrating existing workflows. Whether you manage mailboxes, calendars, or other Exchange Online resources, this session will equip you with the tools and knowledge to make the switch smoothly.

GrĂŒner Code, gute Laune – Wie Apps weniger CO₂ pupsen
GrĂŒner Code, gute Laune – Wie Apps weniger CO₂ pupsen
In den letzten Jahren ist das Bewusstsein fĂŒr die ökologischen und sozialen Auswirkungen digitaler Technologien stark gewachsen. In dieser Session wollen wir uns wieder auf die grundsĂ€tzliche Frage besinnen: Wie bauen wir mobile Apps, die nicht nur gut laufen, sondern auch ein bisschen weniger Planet verbrauchen? Dieser Vortrag beleuchtet praxisnahe Strategien mit denen sich der ökologische Fußabdruck einer App spĂŒrbar senken lĂ€sst – von energieeffizientem Code und ressourcenschonendem Design bis hin zu nachhaltiger Infrastrukturwahl und verantwortungsvollem Datenmanagement. NatĂŒrlich wird auch gemessen, nicht nur gehofft: Welche Tools helfen dabei, den CO₂-Impact, den Energieverbrauch oder die Datenlast einer App zu analysieren. Am Ende des Vortrags haben die Teilnehmenden einen kompakten Überblick ĂŒber die konkreten Schritte, die sie unternehmen können um ihre App nachhaltiger zu machen und wie sie diesen Fortschritt messen können. **Agenda** 18:00 Einlass & Networking 18:30 Vortrag mit einer kleinen Pause zwischendurch 21:00 Ende & Networking \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Die Veranstaltung wird von karlsruhe.digital im Rahmen des “[supported by karlsruhe.digital](https://karlsruhe.digital/supportedby/)” Programms unterstĂŒtzt.

BookClub - Il Signore delle Mosche
BookClub - Il Signore delle Mosche
Il BookClub **The Reading Riot** si ritrova per parlare di *Il Signore delle Mosche* di **William Golding**, **Premio Nobel per la Letteratura**. Il romanzo racconta la storia di un gruppo di ragazzi rimasti isolati su un’isola deserta dopo un incidente aereo. Senza regole nĂ© adulti, il tentativo di autogestione lascia presto spazio a dinamiche di potere, paura e violenza, mettendo in discussione l’idea stessa di civiltĂ . Un classico che interroga ancora oggi sul rapporto tra individuo e gruppo, autoritĂ , responsabilitĂ  e natura umana. L’incontro del BookClub Ăš informale e basato sul **dibattito sui temi principali del libro**, partendo dalle impressioni personali di chi partecipa. SarĂ  una conversazione aperta, in cui ognuno potrĂ  intervenire con il proprio punto di vista, in un clima intimo e rilassato. **Quando e dove** **MercoledĂŹ 4 marzo** **Ore 19:00** **Viale Misurata 9, Milano** E' richiesta consumazione obbligatoria nel locale (no minimo di spesa). **Posti limitati** Per mantenere il gruppo piccolo e favorire lo scambio, i posti sono **limitati.** Una volta raggiunto il limite, verrĂ  attivata una **lista d’attesa**. ⏳ **Importante** Se dopo l’iscrizione non riesci piĂč a partecipare, ti chiediamo di cancellare la prenotazione entro il giorno prima, cosĂŹ da lasciare spazio a chi Ăš in attesa. Porta il libro, il tuo entusiasmo e le tue impressioni — non vediamo l’ora di iniziare! Contatti IG: @thereadingriot_

Il mio Piccolo principe – Spettacolo gratuito di teatro ragazzi
Il mio Piccolo principe – Spettacolo gratuito di teatro ragazzi
**[PRENOTAZIONI QUI](https://www.eventbrite.it/e/il-mio-piccolo-principe-spettacolo-gratuito-di-teatro-ragazzi-tickets-1983885340458?aff=oddtdtcreator)** Un giocattolo. Un aviatore di nome Tonio. Un piccolo principe che vive in un pianeta appena piĂč grande di lui e che un giorno arriva sulla Terra alla ricerca di un amico. Questa Ăš una storia che contiene tante storie, divertenti e commoventi, un po’ matte e un po’ magiche. E’ il racconto di un pierrot trasformista e poeta, che vive dentro un’enorme scatola di giocattoli. Ci sono un re spassoso e uno strano vanitoso, un Arlecchino-ubriacone e un lampionaio schiavo del lavoro. Ci sono anche un fiore fragile e bellissimo, unico nell’universo, e una volpe che conosce il segreto dell’amicizia. Dall’incontro del giocattolo-pierrot con gli altri personaggi, nasce una storia che insegna ai grandi come tornare bambini e che spiega ai bambini quanto sono potenti la fantasia e l’amore. I racconti, a volte, cambiano le persone, e il nostro giocattolo si trasformerĂ , canterĂ , rotolerĂ  e inventerĂ  e alla fine imparerĂ  che l’essenziale Ăš invisibile agli occhi. Faremo un percorso per comprendere che le storie che ci appartengono, ci vedono protagonisti anche nel silenzio delle persone che ci circondano. Giocheremo a sentirci “abbandonati” per poi “riaddomesticarci” alla vita. Lo spettacolo si propone di accompagnare il bambino/ragazzo in un difficile percorso di riconoscimentodel proprio “piccolo principe” racchiuso nell’animo. Cercheremo di far riassaporare il valore dell’incontro e del vivere sulla propria pelle le situazioni degli altri cercando di riappropriarci di quel valore che Ăš l’amicizia che va al di lĂ  dell’“aver bisogno di”. **Spettacolo di e con:** Maurizio Brandalese **Testo:** Fabrizio Tassi **Regia:** Maurizio Brandalese **Tecnica:** Paolo Miloro **Costumi:** Delia Gerli **Scenografie:** Katia Vitali, Brina Babini, **Musiche:** Luca Bettolini, Maurizio Brandalese **Durata:** 60 min **EtĂ  consigliata:** 5-11 anni

Bad Girls Book Club March 2026
Bad Girls Book Club March 2026
**Our March pick is *God of the Woods* by Liz Moore.** **This month’s novel is an award-winning literary mystery that blends family drama with psychological suspense. It explores women’s voices and relationships while delivering an exciting, eerie, and deeply suspenseful story. The book is 576 pages in print or 14 hours and 35 minutes on audiobook.** Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.

"The Enchanted Greenhouse" by Sarah Beth Durst
"The Enchanted Greenhouse" by Sarah Beth Durst
Come join us for coffee at Matari Coffee to discuss our March book, "The Enchanted Greenhouse"! Book description: Terlu Perna broke the law because she was lonely. She cast a spell and created a magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she was turned into a wooden statue and tucked away into an alcove in the North Reading Room of the Great Library of Alyssium. This should have been the end of her story . . . Yet one day, Terlu wakes in the cold of winter on a nearly-deserted island full of hundreds of magical greenhouses. She’s starving and freezing, and the only other human on the island is a grumpy gardener. To her surprise, he offers Terlu a place to sleep, clean clothes, and freshly baked honey cakes—at least until she’s ready to sail home. But Terlu can’t return home and doesn’t want to—the greenhouses are a dream come true, each more wondrous than the next. When she learns that the magic that sustains them is failing—causing the death of everything within them—Terlu knows she must help. Even if that means breaking the law again. This time, though, she isn’t alone. Assisted by the gardener and a sentient rose, Terlu must unravel the secrets of a long-dead sorcerer if she wants to save the island—and have a fresh chance at happiness and love.

The Gir With the Louding Voice Abi Dare
The Gir With the Louding Voice Abi Dare
Columbus libraries: [https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3262835](https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3262835) Location: [Knotty Pine Brewing](https://www.knottypinebrewing.net/) [Menu, scroll to the bottom](https://www.knottypinebrewing.net/menus-1) Book summary: Adunni is a fourteen-year-old Nigerian girl who knows what she wants: an education. This, her mother has told her, is the only way to get a "louding voice" -- the ability to speak for herself and decide her own future. But instead, Adunni's father sells her to be the third wife of a local man who is eager for her to bear him a son and heir. When Adunni runs away to the city, hoping to make a better life, she finds that the only other option before her is servitude to a wealthy family. As a yielding daughter, a subservient wife, and a powerless slave, Adunni is told, by words and deeds, that she is nothing. But while misfortunes might muffle her voice for a time, they cannot mute it. And when she realizes that she must stand up not only for herself, but for other girls, for the ones who came before her and were lost, and for the next girls, who will inevitably follow, she finds the resolve to speak, however she can--in a whisper, in song, in broken English--until she is heard
