**It's the New Year, and the Bastards of the Basement are back ...** Just show up or reserve your tickets [HERE](https://www.yesticket.org/events/en/silver-script/) *And we're more bastard-y and basement-y than ever!* **This time we'll be hosted - in the wonderful stage-basement venue at DNA Arts in the crack centre of Kreuzberg - where we'll bring you the darkest & weirdest improv you've ever seen.** Actually, what we mean is, the darkest, weirdest improv you've NEVER seen, since we'll be performing some of our stuff in the dark. Yes, shut your eyes, open your ears and take in some radio-style improv. Spawned and shaped in the basements of Berlin, Bastards of the Basement is composed of: * *Henry, with his rich, powerful bass voice* * *Geoff, a tenuous tenor with a talent for turmoil* * *Roy – prolific composer and piano magician.* **Perhaps, more importantly than anything else (in the world), there will be a bar!** Just show up or reserve your tickets [HERE](https://www.yesticket.org/events/en/silver-script/) *This is a contribution-based event. We recommend something in the region of 5-10 euros.* You can: Pay in advance and reserve a ticket via PayPal at *editor.silvercript@outlook.com* * Or drop some cash in the Bastard Bucket near the bar. **We won’t be counting. But we’ll be counting on you!**

Data Science Retreat presents 5 Machine Learning prototypes and projects by Batch 44 participants. **Free to Attend!** Hey Berlin Data Folks! We’re kicking off 2026 with our first data event of the year. Join us for project demos, fresh ideas, great conversations, and of course—pizza & drinks on us 🍕🍻 Don’t miss it! **Agenda:** **17:30** \- Drinks and Networking **18:00** \- Welcome & Introduction Followed by Project Presentations **Project Ideas:** **1\. AI/ML \- EV Battery Shape Classification** ***Project by Uma Maheswari Obbani*** The project aims to automate the detection and classification of used electric vehicle (EV) batteries by shape — cylindrical, prismatic, or pouch — using AI/ML and computer vision techniques. The goal is to provide manufacturers and recyclers with real-time insights about battery type distribution, enabling efficient sorting, inventory management, and safety compliance. **2\. Developing Scalable and Reliable Coffee Yield Forecasting Tools** ***Project by Dr. Juan Fernando Duenas Serrano*** The aim of the project is short term coffee yield forecasting improves planning and value creation across the supply chain, from farmers to roasters. Current yield estimation methods are not scalable and require specialized expertise. This project explores computer vision as a scalable alternative using smartphone images. A YOLOv8 object detection model counts unripe Arabica coffee cherries on branches. The model can estimate yield at tree or farm level with optional user input. A Gradio or Streamlit web app will demonstrate, evaluate, and extend the model’s potential. **3\. Classic Car Diagnostic Tool** ***Project by Lulezim Ukaj*** This project aims to develop a specialized AI-powered diagnostic tool for classic cars that leverages community knowledge from German automotive forums. Unlike modern OBD-II–based diagnostic tools, which dominate the market, this solution targets pre-1996 vehicles where standardized electronic diagnostics do not exist. **4\. Enhancing on\-site audience audio** ***Project by Thede Witschel*** This project aims to improve audience audio in real time without requiring behavioral changes or complex recording setups. The focus is on enhancing speech using audio super-resolution and, where necessary, generative reconstruction. Initial work prioritizes offline research and testing of existing super-resolution methods. A minimal live prototype will be built as an audio input filter (e.g., PipeWire or virtual audio cable). Optional speaker segmentation and reconstruction will be explored based on performance results. **5\. Ludus Automated Game Balancing: An AI\-Driven Evolutionary Pipeline for Card Game Meta\-Stability** ***Project by Rami Aldrea*** This project addresses the critical and often labor-intensive challenge of balancing a complex digital card game meta, specifically focusing on a 70-card set. The primary objective was to develop and validate an automated, iterative pipeline capable of achieving and maintaining a stable, competitive game environment where no single card or archetype consistently dominates. The desired outcome was a game meta with a mean card win rate of 50%, minimal variance (ideally <5% standard deviation for competitive e-sports), and preserved strategic diversity, all while significantly reducing manual design time. **20:00** \- Open for networking **20:30** \- Wrap up We have limited seat so please RSVP soon. See you all at the event.

Start the New Year off right! Join us as we get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event to distribute food at the Champion Food Pantry! We’ve created a great little community of Movie Group friends! Rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve people in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY: The Champion Food Pantry provides needed food to neighbors experiencing food insecurity. For this event, we’ll be volunteering to help with Food Distribution during client pick up times. Our group will receive on-the-spot training from some of their seasoned regular volunteers. PLAN FOR CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY: Please arrive by 2:45pm. Our volunteer time will be from 3:00 to 6:00pm. LOCATION & PARKING: The Champion Food Pantry is located at 1460 S. Champion Ave in Columbus. Parking is located in the lot on Frebis across from the pantry. Please enter through the door marked "Volunteers enter here” on Frebis Ave. A map has been uploaded to the photos. IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing the majority of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. No shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will mak you ineligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve.

But the benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering can provide a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need. PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities.

**History** The Columbus Museum of Art traces its roots to 1878, when it was founded as the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts, becoming the first art museum chartered in Ohio. A group of civic leaders established it to bring touring exhibitions and build a public collection. In 1887, it merged with the Columbus Art School (now CCAD) fostering a long partnership in arts education. Initially without a permanent home, the museum operated from temporary spaces until 1919, when art patron Francis C. Sessions deeded his Victorian mansion on East Broad Street to house the growing institution. As collections expanded in the early 20th century, the need for a dedicated building became clear. The Sessions mansion was demolished, and a new Italian Renaissance Revival structure was erected on the same site, opening to the public in 1931. This elegant building, with its grand steps and arches, remains the museum's core today and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. Key early acquisitions, like the Ferdinand Howald Collection of modernist works, helped establish its focus on American and European art. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the museum evolved significantly. It added the Ross Wing in 1974 for exhibitions and renamed itself the Columbus Museum of Art in 1978 during its centennial. A major renovation and expansion completed in 2015 introduced the Margaret M. Walter Wing and Center for Creativity, emphasizing interactive experiences. In 2018, the donation of the Pizzuti Collection and its Short North building expanded the museum's reach into contemporary art, solidifying its role as a dynamic cultural hub. The Columbus Museum of Art boasts a strong collection of late 19th- and early 20th-century European modern art, featuring well-known masters like Claude Monet, whose Impressionist landscapes capture light and atmosphere in ways familiar to many. Visitors can also encounter works by Henri Matisse, renowned for his bold use of color, and Edgar Degas, famous for his graceful depictions of ballerinas and everyday scenes. The museum's early Cubist holdings include pieces by Pablo Picasso, offering glimpses into his revolutionary fragmented style that reshaped modern art. On the American side, the collection highlights iconic figures such as Edward Hopper, whose evocative paintings of urban solitude and quiet American life are widely recognized, and Norman Rockwell, celebrated for his heartfelt illustrations of everyday Americana that have appeared on countless magazine covers. These accessible works by household-name artists provide an inviting entry point for those new to art museums, blending European innovation with distinctly American storytelling. **Summary** For this event, we will tour the [Columbus Museum of Art](https://www.columbusmuseum.org/), which is always free on Sundays. Afterward, we will head over to the nearby, highly-rated, and popular Gemüt Biergarten for drinks and food. Columbus's art museum is not large, and we won't need to rush through in order to see everything. However, it's a little windy (with a long "i") and maze-like in spots, and if you've never gone through it before, it can be a little confusing at first. **Tickets and Pricing** The Museum is free on Sundays. **Parking** The short answer here is that you can park for free (in the Safe Auto lot) when you visit the Museum on weekends. The longer answer is that the Museum has a dedicated parking lot, whose entrance and exit are on E Gay St, just north of Broad St. You can see this parking lot [here on Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Columbus+Museum+Of+Art+Parking/@39.9648853,-82.9882364,18.67z/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x883888d20177f111:0xbf595a71d9d8c8c5!2sColumbus+Museum+of+Art!8m2!3d39.9642074!4d-82.9878972!16zL20vMDM0Z3F6!3m5!1s0x883888d21f05e00f:0xb72a56e4ac2d4fba!8m2!3d39.9651763!4d-82.9881746!16s%2Fg%2F11f3pdx3tx?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTIwOS4wIKXMDSoKLDEwMDc5MjA3MUgBUAM%3D). This parking has normally been $7, unless you buy something either in the Museum's gift shop or café, in which case it's $5 (you have to bring your receipt to the Museum's front desk to get this discount). However, the Museum is currently in the process of upgrading their parking lot's intercom (or some such), and until such time as this is completed, parking in this lot is free. Once this upgrade is complete, though, the charge is likely to increase from $7 to $10. This upgrade is supposed to be done by the time we run this event, but given how these things work, I wouldn't be totally surprised if it's not complete by then. You'll know the lot is free if the gate arms to both the entrance and exit are fixed in a raised position when you arrive. However, there's a large parking lot for Safe Auto on the other side of N Washington Ave, between Boone St and Hutton Pl. You can see this parking lot [here on Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/place/39%C2%B057'54.4%22N+82%C2%B059'13.9%22W/@39.9651069,-82.9884087,18z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d39.965105!4d-82.987191?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTIwOS4wIKXMDSoKLDEwMDc5MjA3MUgBUAM%3D). Visitors to the Museum may always park for free in this lot on weekends. **The End of History** After completing our dissertation in [Art Appreciation](https://www.facebook.com/groups/879880336006462/posts/1734229683904852/), we'll head over to the highly-rated [Gemüt Biergarten](https://www.gemutbiergarten.com/) for [drinks and food](https://www.gemutbiergarten.com/#full-menu). The brewery is located in [Olde Towne East](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Olde+Towne+East,+Columbus,+OH/@39.9600896,-82.9935095,14z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x883888c29b9d98cb:0x55fc96810facc832!8m2!3d39.9579938!4d-82.9761254!16s%2Fm%2F026vlz4?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTIwOS4wIKXMDSoKLDEwMDc5MjA3MUgBUAM%3D), and its actual address is [734 Oak St, Columbus, OH 43205](https://www.google.com/maps/place/734+Oak+St,+Columbus,+OH+43205/@39.9633755,-82.9808618,16z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x883888c53426d289:0x4aec638d8a5195d4!8m2!3d39.9633755!4d-82.9808618!16s%2Fg%2F11c4wy250w?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTIwOS4wIKXMDSoKLDEwMDc5MjA3MUgBUAM%3D). Gemüt Biergarten has a free parking lot that isn't small but also isn't huge. Street parking, however, is always free across Columbus on [Sundays and holidays](https://www.columbus.gov/files/sharedassets/city/v/1/public-service/right-of-way-permit/on-street-parking-out-of-service-policy-and-procedure-final-8.15.2022-signed.pdf), so I think we'll be okay with parking. The bigger issue may be the weather. The brewery has a good-sized outdoor patio that is covered and heated in the winter. However, that doesn't mean this patio will be warm. The inside of the brewery is "okay-sized," but again, the brewery is popular and by the time we get there, we may have no choice but to sit outside. If it's cold, I can and will ask them to fire up some of their additional outdoor heaters, which I think should be enough, but please bring something to keep you warm just in case we end up outside. Finally, while food at the Biergarten can be a little overpriced, in my experience it is excellent, and you are likely to enjoy whatever you get. We should be there by 1:00 if you can't make the Museum and just want to meet us for drinks.
