TUESDAY đâ˝ FOOTBALL FRIENDLY 20:30-22:00 (Donaucity) w/ SORIN +Video Highlights
Things to know before playing:
Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls;
We play Tuesday Night Football (outdoor only) . We play 90 minutes (kick off is at 20:30, and we meet at least 15 minutes before for a warm up phase). Post-Corona football matches are most likely between 14-16 and 28-32 players. If you would like to join please bring artificial turf shoes (like the ones for indoor turf) and shin pads (not mandatory but definitely recommendable). All I ask is that you come with a good mood, be respectful to everyone, and pay online using the link below.

We play light: no sliding, hard tackling, fighting, screaming, & hopefully no injuries. We need to respect current regulations in Vienna, Austria.
The main priorities are to have fun and being safe. The drinks are relatively free after the game in the local pub, served to those who have shown fantastic football fair-play skills. We will confirm the location, the pitches, and the dressing room numbers via our dedicated Football WhatsApp group/s. Keep an eye out for the group messages. See you all soon.
Sorin SMS/ WhatsApp +43 6764276984 (please ask to be added to our football groups). We will probably need to confirm your presence if you are coming for the first or second time.
Important management rule:
**\> "No shows" are penalized with 10⏠fee\. Please remove your name from the list at least SIX\!\!\! \(6\) HOURS before the event\.** Book a place via FootballExperiences.NET using this link [FOOTxp](https://footballexperiences.net/kickaball/)
One small final note:
Please avoid trying to take justice in your hands. If someone is talking bad, complaining, insulting someone, fouling on purpose or committing the usual football shenanigans, please let the organizers know. Measures will be taken, we assure you. Any misbehavior on your part, such as responding in an obscene way, fighting, or leaving the pitch is not a practical and diplomatic way of resolving the issues (it tends to create more tension and cause more problems). Letâs be respectful and mature and try to enjoy the game we all love.
Thatâs why weâre all here. Get to know people from all over the world and have fun!
Thank you.

Brompton Social Ride - Calle Libre
**Was verbindet Equality, Pride, und Brompton?**
Genau, fßr unseren nächsten Ride fahren wir entlang von fßnf Artworks des Calle Libre Festivals 2026.
Das diesjährige Festival steht unter dem Thema **âIN EQUALITYâ**: eine Auseinandersetzung mit sozialen, kulturellen, wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Ungleichheiten.
Der Titel spielt bewusst mit zwei Bedeutungen: Ungleichheit als Realität unserer Welt und gleichzeitig in equality, die grundlegende Gleichheit, die uns als Menschen verbindet.
Gemeinsam entdecken wir fĂźnf Murals, die sich mit diesen Themen auseinandersetzen und erleben Wien dabei aus einer anderen Perspektive: auf dem Rad, in guter Gesellschaft, und mit genĂźgend Zeit, die Kunstwerke auf uns wirken zu lassen.
**Treffpunkt um 18:00 in der Brompton Junction Vienna.**
Von dort starten wir gemeinsam unsere Tour durch die Stadt entlang den Calle Libre Artworks.
Unterwegs werden wir natĂźrlich bei den Artworks stoppen â Zeit fĂźr Fotos, Gespräche und vielleicht den einen oder anderen Gedanken zum Thema des Festivals.

BMWC- Bohemian Moravian Witches' Conference!
⨠**BMWC 30 â The Mysteries of Crossroads** â¨

You can explore more about the conference and its history at **[bmwc.org/en](https://bmwc.org/en/)**.
BMWC is unlike a typical festival or workshop series. Itâs a **participatory, immersive experience** where rituals, workshops, lectures, nature walks, fire gatherings, storytelling, dance, and play blend into a week of deep inner journeying and joyful connection. Over the years we have attended again and again because *it really is that much fun*âthe people are warm, the energy is inspiring, and friendships formed there last for years.
This yearâs theme, **âThe Mysteries of Crossroadsâ** (*Tam, kde se cesty kĹĂĹžĂ*), invites us to explore transformation, choice, and the places where paths meetâboth in the world and within ourselves.
đŤ **Important Notes for Newcomers**

Open Dialogue â Discovering Together in Vienna
We will meet in a calm and friendly place ( Parc, CafĂŠ, Restaurant) to explore together some of Jiddu Krishnamurtiâs key questions about awareness, relationship, and freedom.
There will be no teaching, no authority â only open dialogue and attentive listening.
Everyone is welcome, whether you are familiar with Jiddu Krishnamurti or simply curious about life and self-understanding.
Weâll start with an open conversation around a theme such as âListening without judgmentâ or âCan thought bring clarity?â
Please bring openness, curiosity, and a readiness to listen â no books or notes needed.
The spirit is not to discuss âwhat should be,â but to observe together âwhat is.â

Wenn intelligente Agenten auĂer Kontrolle
**Agentic AI trifft Cybersecurity â Wenn intelligente Agenten auĂer Kontrolle geraten**
**Die nächste Evolutionsstufe der kßnstlichen Intelligenz ist bereits da:**
Agentic AI Systeme, die eigenständig planen, Entscheidungen treffen und handeln â oft ohne menschliche Kontrolle. Doch was passiert, wenn genau diese Autonomie zur Gefahr wird?
KI-Agenten, die täuschend echte Phishing-Angriffe erstellen, Sicherheitsmechanismen in Echtzeit umgehen oder Netzwerke wie digitale Schläfer infiltrieren â das ist keine Zukunftsmusik mehr. Es passiert bereits heute.
Bei diesem exklusiven Abend-Event diskutieren zwei Experten an der Schnittstelle von AI und Cybersecurity ßber die Risiken, Chancen und die Realität autonomer KI-Systeme.
**Dr. Jeannette Gorzala**, Grßnderin und CEO von ACT AI NOW sowie Vice Chair des AI Boards der Üsterreichischen Bundesregierung, engagiert sich aktiv fßr AI Literacy, den European AI Act und die verantwortungsvolle Gestaltung von Kßnstlicher Intelligenz in Europa. Darßber hinaus bringt sie ihre Expertise als Mitglied der GPAIM Working Groups des EU AI Office der Europäischen Kommission in die europäische KI-Strategie und Regulierung ein.
NEOB Technology GmbH GrĂźnder und CEO **Ed Prinz** gibt Einblicke in moderne Agentic-AI-Architekturen â von autonomen Tools und Multi-Step-Reasoning bis hin zu realen Anwendungen im Bereich Voice AI und Business Automation. Dabei geht es auch um die entscheidende Frage: Wo verschwimmt die Grenze zwischen hilfreichen und potenziell gefährlichen KI-Agenten?
CyberTrap CEO **Adi Reschenhofer** zeigt, wie moderne Deception-Technologien Angreifer in die Falle locken â mit Honeypots, Decoys und KI-gestĂźtzten Täuschungsmechanismen. Wenn KI gegen KI kämpft, verändert sich das Spielfeld der Cybersicherheit grundlegend.
Gemeinsam sprechen sie ßber Themen, die Unternehmen und CISOs zunehmend beschäftigen:
⢠Kann man einem KI-Agenten vertrauen, den man nicht selbst entwickelt hat?
⢠Wie verteidigt man sich gegen Angriffe, die lernen und sich weiterentwickeln?
⢠Ist die Cybersecurity-Branche schnell genug â oder sind Angreifer bereits voraus?

Drunken Philosophy: Are you really who you think you are? What is the "self"?
I have been studying the question of "self" online with Prof. Ellie Anderson and so I thought a prompt on the "self" might be interesting. Full confession: I had Claude create this prompt and I like it, so here goes:
Imagine a thought experiment that merges two classic puzzles:
> You undergo a procedure, performed neuron by neuron, in which every biological component of your brain is replaced with a functionally identical synthetic substitute. At each step, your behavior, memories, and personality remain unchanged. When the last neuron is swapped, is the consciousness experiencing the world still you? And â more pressingly â was there ever a continuous "you" to begin with?
### Questions to Wrestle With
* If consciousness is purely physical, does the *gradual* nature of the replacement matter, or is it equivalent to being destroyed and rebuilt?
* Could there be a "self" without continuity of experience â even moment to moment, while you sleep?
On a more practical level, consider the simpler case first: **hemispherectomy** patients â people who have had an entire cerebral hemisphere surgically removed â often retain a strong sense of personal identity and continuity. This suggests "you" are not rigidly tied to specific physical material. But does that vindicate the synthetic neuron case, or merely show that identity is more *flexible* than we thought â not that it can survive *complete* substrate replacement?
I used Claude so I could get this out today and let everyone have some time to consider it. Hope to see you at the Oracle. Sorry about the location change two weeks ago. That's what I get for trusting local weather predictions!
Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
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 âpin the blameâ on someone or something. If you donât 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, donât 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 youâve 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 âeraseâ the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isnât 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 âcorrosive criticismâ or the need to invalidate self or others?
⢠How one can stably change oneâs 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 oneâs own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or oneâs 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 âstoredâ and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can âeraseâ 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 âtoxicâ personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you wonât 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.
