*Watchmen*, the groundbreaking series from award-winning author Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, presents a world where the mere presence of American superheroes changed history—the U.S. won the Vietnam War, Nixon is still president, and the Cold War is in full effect. Considered the greatest graphic novel in the history of the medium, the Hugo Award-winning story chronicles the fall from grace of a group of superheroes plagued by all-too-human failings. Along the way, the concept of the superhero is dissected as an unknown assassin stalks the erstwhile heroes. [Reference](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/472331.Watchmen)

"The God of Small Things" is the 1997 debut novel written by Indian author Arundhati Roy, winning her the Booker Prize the same year. The novel's events are set against the backdrop of social discrimination and political upheaval in 1960s Kerala, with casteism and British colonialism in India being central themes. Upon its publication the book received stellar reviews in major American and Canadian newspapers; critical response in the United Kingdom was less positive. A 1996 Booker Prize judge called the novel "execrable". In India, the book was criticised especially for its unrestrained description of sexuality. The then-Chief Minister of Roy's home state Kerala voiced criticism about the book's depiction of women and sex, and Roy had to answer charges of obscenity. By 2019, the Brits had revised their opinion. The Daily Telegraph ranked "The God of Small Things" as one of the 10 all-time greatest Asian novels, BBC News named it one of the 100 most influential novels, and the Independent listed it as one of the 12 best Indian novels. *Goodreads summary* The year is 1969. In the state of Kerala, on the southernmost tip of India, a skyblue Plymouth with chrome tailfins is stranded on the highway amid a Marxist workers' demonstration. Inside the car sit two-egg twins Rahel and Esthappen, and so begins their tale. . . . Armed only with the invincible innocence of children, they fashion a childhood for themselves in the shade of the wreck that is their family—their lonely, lovely mother, Ammu (who loves by night the man her children love by day), their blind grandmother, Mammachi (who plays Handel on her violin), their beloved uncle Chacko (Rhodes scholar, pickle baron, radical Marxist, bottom-pincher), their enemy, Baby Kochamma (ex-nun and incumbent grandaunt), and the ghost of an imperial entomologist's moth (with unusually dense dorsal tufts). When their English cousin, Sophie Mol, and her mother, Margaret Kochamma, arrive on a Christmas visit, Esthappen and Rahel learn that Things Can Change in a Day. That lives can twist into new, ugly shapes, even cease forever, beside their river "graygreen." With fish in it. With the sky and trees in it. And at night, the broken yellow moon in it. The brilliantly plotted story uncoils with an agonizing sense of foreboding and inevitability. Yet nothing prepares you for what lies at the heart of it. The God of Small Things takes on the Big Themes—Love. Madness. Hope. Infinite Joy. Here is a writer who dares to break the rules. To dislocate received rhythms and create the language she requires, a language that is at once classical and unprecedented. Arundhati Roy has given us a book that is anchored to anguish, but fueled by wit and magic.

**Update:** If you find this event just now, everything below was posted when the online registration to the event "Kuckucklauf" on "Chiplauf.de" was still possible. The registration has closed end of Monday! You can still sign up for this MeetUp event, come for the hike, and enjoy the beverages and food at the town festival after. Please refer to the carpool section below, preferred meeting point is on Glacis for carpooling. In case you come directly, starting point is here: [Kastel-Staadt Parking](https://maps.app.goo.gl/jfw7GiBrjK5zaW5Y6) We will start once everyone has arrived, estimated between 9:15 and 9:30 **Original description:** Hello Friends! This time, we're going to do a modified "Traumschleife Kasteler Felsenpfad" trail in Germany. "Traumschleife" (Dream Loop) is a category of beautiful paths in Germany, Saar-Hunsrück area, some of them cross-border between Germany and Luxembourg 🥾🥾 The organization [Chiplauf](https://www.chiplauf.de/) promotes running events in the greater "BE-DE-LUX" region between Gerolstein, Hermeskeil, and Luxembourg. There are 19 events between June and November, most of which are purely for running, from a short 5km trail, or 1000m for toddlers, up to an ultra marathon of 111km. Each of the events offers different disciplines and distances. I haven't checked all of them, but besides the "Äischdall-Trail" in August (Eischen, Luxembourg), this one is the only one I've seen where hiking is also possible. A colleague of mine lives in Kastel-Staadt, the town that is hosting this "Kuckuckslauf" (cuckoo trail) for the first time. His family and friends are busy with printing, sowing, and other preparations. He told me about this, and I like the opportunity to do something abroad and to support this initiative. It seems to me a little bit like the FLMP hikes, where the umbrella organization is promoting it, and each local hiking club in the hosting town or villages is responsible for the details and the funding. **Details (please read carefully):** There is a fee of 15 Euro, for which you will get a small bag/sack with snacks, a start number, and drinks at a "pit stop" along the trail. The surplus of the event, which a local non-profit organization financially governs, will go to a charity. There will be refreshments along the trail, and at the end, there is a "Volksfest" with food, drinks, and games for kids. Food includes a "Schwenker", the regional traditional barbecue with steaks and sausages. While the path they have planned, deviating from the original "Traumschleife" a bit, is 10km, I have planned a short detour up to the "Altfels", a natural monument and supposedly a viewpoint. If it's too hot, we can skip that totally, or some of you can do a shortcut and wait 20-30 mins for the rest of the group at the next corner in the shade. You can sign up here: [Kuckuckslauf Registration](https://www.chiplauf.de/fr/events/1-kuckuckslauf-in-kastel-staadt/discipline) You can switch the language between German, English, and French, but they don't translate everything, make sure you sign up for the "10km Wanderung" ***At this point, the deadline is the 24th, but my colleague just told me that they plan to move it to the 22nd.*** I have signed up today and put "Yet Another Hiking Group in Luxembourg" as the club name. Let me know whether it now shows up in the drop-down list when you register. It would be cool to see our group name there multiple times, but the registration is voluntary (see "freeloader" section below) **Payment:** Payment is possible via bank transfer, credit card, Klarna, even a Belgian money app, sadly no Payconiq ;( If you have no credit card and don't want to bother with the payment, you can message me *"please register me"* and send me 15 EUR via PayPal or Payconiq. Paypal: [Paypal payment link](https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.paypal.com%2Fpool%2F9qdHwPrvIx%3Fsr%3Daccr&data=05%7C02%7Cjens.osterloh%40ses.com%7C8fdb1810e6074e33470b08decef27b53%7C88281ca8e5254a8db965480a7ac2b970%7C0%7C0%7C639175738014325246%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=92a7yAkNi0DyJrzX0G2YrIUIgQYLzZ1V898RVdPzWik%3D&reserved=0) Payconiq: [Payconiq payment link](https://payconiq.com/payme/1/md2vc5bo2mkb) I still encourage everyone to register himself, but if I can help, let me know. **Attention:** If you struggle with the online payment while actively trying yourself and going back and forth, you can end up in a situation where you have successfully registered without actually paying. They will still have your information, and your registration is "unpaid". In the confirmation e-mail, you will find the payment link and bank information. **Meeting Point:** This time we will do "full carpool" and I suggest that most of us meet on Glacis shortly after 8 am. Departure time around 8:20, after mixing the carpool and having at least 3-4 people per car. If you come from a completely different location and Luxembourg City would be a big detour, please use the carpool app and organize a local carpool. We will meet near the parking lot in Kasteel, you can park there or all along the road to the cemetery. Note: There will be lots of people, please plan at least 10 minutes for finding alternate parking and walking to the starting point: [Google-Maps: Parking Kastel-Staadt](https://maps.app.goo.gl/r4RpL4F3MRQoCwjLA) **Carpool:** I suggest that "the usual suspects" coming from the south are organizing a carpool from Bettembourg, e.g. meeting at [Parking Gare Bettembourg](https://maps.app.goo.gl/XGwS1WWuwUUVoaRz6) You can then take the highway and cross at Schengen/Perl. Main carpool will meet on the [Glacis](https://maps.app.goo.gl/MWhSdB1QAg7mmeX56), near "Hitch", like in the good old times. You can get there via bus or tram, or you can take your car and leave it there. (This was the pre-covid mode: 20 people came to Glacis with 16 cars, and we left 12 cars there, everyone got a seat, and we were maximum eco-friendly :) From the city, we will pass through Remich, and we can re-shuffle the carpool if too many people come alone in a car otherwise. Please look for or announce your departure at the [Remich free parking](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ouKRcqf8GxRMR9Uz5) https://groupcarpool.com/t/wev38a **Public Transport:** \*canceled\* **Freeloaders:** If you don't want to pay the registration fee, you can still attend the hike. Of course, you will not get the goodies, medal, or participation certificate, and you are not eligible for the refreshments at the pit stop. Unlike at the Diekirch walk, you will probably not get very much frowned upon, at least not by me. But since the surplus of the event will be for a charity, a small donation at the end will be very welcome! **Please note:** It's tick season. Be careful, use some repellent product, and check yourself after the hike. As usual, the hike is at your own risk, and please take enough water for yourself. Looking forward to hiking with you! Jens **PS: If the weather forecast is correct, it will be over 30 degrees for the next 10 days. Please bring LOTS of water for yourself!**

**Synchronicity: Coincidence or Divine Guidance?** Have you ever experienced a “coincidence” that felt too perfect to ignore? A chance encounter, repeated sign, or unexpected moment that seemed to arrive right on time? Join us at Unity of Columbus as Michelle Harcha explores the mystery of synchronicity and how these meaningful moments may be guiding us toward greater wisdom, purpose, and connection. After Sunday’s message, stay for an interactive workshop where Michelle will share practical tools inspired by Byron Katie and Marilee Adams to help us recognize and align with Divine guidance.

The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience. And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree. In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again. Examples of painful experiences include: * A broken relationship or divorce. * Death or loss of a loved one. * Death of a pet. * A sudden shock or bad news. * A betrayal. * Being part of an abusive relationship. * A bad injustice. * Loss of a job, position or business. * A grave illness or injury. The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored the Dianetics & Scientology Self-Improvement Center.

Communication is everything in life! You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate.

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. 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. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
