[TICKETS FOR THIS EVENT ARE SOLD VIA EVERSPORTS](https://www.anntin.ch/events) Stress is eating you up? Can't stop overthinking? And when you finally want to get some rest after a hard day, you can't sleep? Maybe your body is showing signs of stress and you're plagued by headaches or tummy troubles? **Try somatic exercises for stress!** **Somatic (Bioenergetic) therapy was founded on one key concept: our feelings are reflected in our bodies. And our bodies have the power to regulate our emotions and heal the mind.** Remember the last time you were extremely stressed? Chances are high you experienced it on a physical level. Sensations such as: * Faster heartbeat * Headache * Tense shoulders * The feeling of something sitting in your throat * Stomach pains or nausea * A sense of having soft and weak legs These are just some of the examples of how our bodies react to stress. [Research ](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5579396/)shows that stress, especially prolonged, can have a negative impact on our heart, immune and digestive systems, hormones, and memory, to name but a few. According to a [review of various studies](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8458738/) body psychotherapy approaches may bring about the reduction in people’s psychological distress. This workshop will give you the easy tools to use when your stress levels get high. Deepening the practice at home will help you build stress resilience in the long run. **What you'll learn and try out:** * You'll understand your own stress response better. * You'll pay more attention to early stress signs and will be able to react before stress hits you hard. * You'll try simple exercises to manage stress tension on the go, not just sitting on a meditation pillow in a quiet spa! You'll gain the tools to build your regular stress resilience practice and exercise at home. We’ll cover the most common body symptoms and experiment with relevant somatic exercises for stress.

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA

I've supported this local popcorn business for 30 years. It is my pleasure to introduce you to this family-owned, made in house, gourmet popcorn! (note: the official nat'l popcorn day is the 19th but this store is bombarded that day, lol) **TASTING:** The staff can answer every question you have about popcorn. They have a tremendous assortment of 65 sweet and savory flavors, including their classic Columbus Mix (white cheddar/vanilla butternut mix), Pizza, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Buckeye, Buffalo Ranch, and Green Apple. I challenge kids to not try to blow a bubble when they taste the Bubble Gum flavor! ***The owner knows we're coming by and offers complimentary taste testing! BRING YOUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS!*** **AFTERNOON SNACK**: Bring along $**5.00** cash for a variety of pizza slices to munch on next door at Grandads Pizza. While we wait on our pizzas, we can share Popcorn we purchased at Al's. ## HISTORY OF NATIONAL POPCORN DAY Did you know that the corn we eat and the corn we pop are two different varieties of maize? In fact, the corn you’d find on your dinner table is most likely unable to pop at all! Only one variety of corn is able to become popcorn: Zea mays everta. This particular corn variety has small ears, and the kernels burst when exposed to dry heat. **[Al’s Delicious Popcorn](https://alspopcorn.com)** is a family owned and operated business located in Columbus, Ohio. Founded in 1985, we have over 30 years of popping experience! During the past 3 decades, we’ve worked hard to perfect our popping techniques and recipes. Our dedication has paid off and today we are proud to offer popcorn lovers over 65 varieties of delectable gourmet popcorn! Being a small, family run operation, we put our heart and soul into what we do. Each and every order is hand prepared, right in our own store, not in some remote processing facility.
