**The wait is over!** After a long hiatus, we are reviving our favorite morning tradition. Research Tuesday is returning as a monthly ritual for the UX community to meet, share, and discuss the "no-filter" reality of our craft. We’ve missed the energy of in-person discussions, and we’re thrilled to start this new chapter with you. **💡 The Vibe: No Cameras, Just Conversations** If you’re new here, this is our secret sauce: **We never record or stream our meetups.** We believe the best insights come from a safe space where speakers and participants can be brutally honest about what worked - and what didn't. **🌍 This Month: International Research** Conducting research across different cultures, languages, and time zones brings a unique set of challenges. How do we adapt our methods for global markets? What are the biggest cultural pitfalls? Our speakers will "kick off" the topic with informal presentations, followed by a deep-dive discussion. **Language note:** Since the topic is international and our speakers are global, this specific meetup will be held in **English**. **👋 Our Speakers:** **Martina Benešová** Martina is a UX Researcher at Livesport with over 15 years of experience across the research world. Her career includes working for GfK, Vodafone and Unilever, where she moved between consumer insights, brand management and market research roles. She studied Sociology at Oxford Brookes University and has worked across multiple countries and markets throughout her career. At Research Tuesday, she'll be talking about the challenges and realities of running research internationally. **Carolina Lourenço Rosa** Carolina is a Brazilian UX Researcher based in Portugal. With a background in Journalism and Film, she spent over a decade working as a content producer and researcher in media companies, NGOs, and film productions before transitioning to UX in 2022. Today, she works at Livesport conducting qualitative interviews with Brazilian and Portuguese users while coordinating a network of qualitative researchers across Italy, Nigeria, the UK, Colombia, and South Korea. At Research Tuesday, she’ll share her experiences and learnings from conducting and managing research across different markets. **🕒 Agenda:** * **08:30 AM** – Doors open & Early networking (coffee & chats) * **9:00 AM** – Kick-off Talks: International Research * **10:00 AM** – Open Discussion * **11:00 PM** – Closing & Final Networking * **🧸 Babysitting On-Demand:** Research Tuesday has always been about making professional growth accessible. We especially want to support parents of small children, helping them stay connected with the industry and socialize without the usual barriers. * **Interested in babysitting?** We are happy to arrange it on-site, but we need to know if there is interest. * **Action:** Please let us know in the **comments section** no later than Monday noon if you would like to use this service and for how many children. We will decide whether to provide the service based on your feedback. * **🎟️ Important Details:** * **Tickets:** The event is **free**, but space is strictly limited to **35 seats** to keep the discussion intimate. * **Reservation:** Please book your spot early.

**Life Crafting** refers to the intentional modification of one’s environment, behaviour, and patterns of thinking to better satisfy core psychological needs and align daily life with one's dearest values. To some extent, we all engage in life crafting informally. But structured reflection can dramatically increase clarity and follow-through. In this event, we will explore both: * How do we already apply life crafting in our personal lives? * How can we apply it more systematically? **Suggested Reading (Optional)** To enrich the conversation, participants may wish to read these two short blog posts before the event: • [Life Crafting: Proactive Strategies for Enhancing Well-Being](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/happybytes/202311/life-crafting-proactive-strategies-for-enhancing-well-being) • [Life Crafting: A Novel Intervention to Increase Meaning in Life](https://incomparable.info/life-crafting-a-novel-intervention-to-increase-meaning-in-life/) **Structure of the Event** • Arrival & short introductions • Brief presentation (definition of life crafting, research findings and structure of the intervention) • Group dialogue • Practical mini-exercise (values clarification) • Open discussion: benefits, challenges, scepticism, application **“Incomparable Dialogues” is a small, discussion-based group exploring how to live intentionally in an age of distraction, complex social dynamics, and ever-growing professional demands.**

Filozofování o životě a o všem ostatním pro všechny, bez vstupného a bez přihlášky: Co si přejete, s čím si lámete hlavu, co Vás nenechá spát, o čem dumáte, o čem sníte, co Vám vrtá hlavou, čeho se bojíte, na co vzpomínáte, o čem přemýšlíte?

Ani byste nevěřili, jak filozofie může být osvěžující…

It's easy to get the idea that philosophy is largely an abstract and conceptual endeavor–studying theories that try to explain the universe, morality, or language, and then arguing until we either prove those we disagree with wrong or at least reach a smug sense of clarity. But is that all that philosophy has to offer? For this month's reading, we'll explore this question with **Pierre Hadot**, a French philosopher and historian of philosophy. Hadot was a **professor at the Collège de France**, where he held the **Chair in the History of Hellenistic and Roman Thought**. He specialized in **ancient Greek and Roman philosophy--especially Stoicism, Neoplatonism, and early Christian thought**–as was known for his scholarship on **Marcus Aurelius, Plotinus, and ancient spiritual exercises**. His work has influenced many contemporary philosophers, classicists, and the modern revival of philosophy as a lived practice. \*\*\* Below is a PDF copy of Hadot's essay Philosophy as a Way of Life. If you have trouble accessing it, send the host a message–extra copies are available. Link: https://livingagoodlife.com/fall2021/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Hadot.pdf \*\*\* We’ll have tea and light snacks, but please feel free to bring any drink or snack you’d like to share! This event will be hosted in an apartment with a well-trained dog who will be happy to meet you. If anyone has concerns about dogs, let me know so I can be mindful about keeping her from bothering you. The buzzer is Everett and Mainous—we’re on the 5th floor, apartment 16. Meeting structure: We will start with a brief summary of the key ideas Hadot presents then move to open discussion. Please read the text in advance, make highlights, and note any thoughts or questions you find interesting and compelling.

Attend a free seminar on how to have successful and lasting relationships. At this seminar you will learn: How to spot and handle negative and toxic relationships. How to get through the "rough patches" in a relationship. How to choose the right people to work with. The three things that make or break any relationship. How to make a good relationship great. All are welcome. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. Hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? 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: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
