Hybrid Cars

Hi Running fellows, Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us! Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast. Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too. What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :) We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast! Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45. We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier. Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup. Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz

A Branch of the **Social Book Club** focusing on International Cinema. I try to host 2 film nights a month where I will find films based on the taste profile of the audience. We the Lovely Folks of the **Saturday Film Club, are back for the 23rd Edition** this Saturday! 🎬🌿🕊️ ☀️ We start at **18:30** hrs. Film chosen for this week is: 🎥 **The Metamorphosis of Birds** A quiet, poetic Portuguese film about family, memory, and the passage of time. Blending narration, stillness, and beautiful imagery, it tells the story of a father, a mother, and their children — unfolding like a dream or a remembered story. Tender, reflective, and deeply meditative. IMDb: 7.2/10 – Runtime: 1h 41m. 🍽️ Post Meetup Food at China Zentrum Stiegengasse! 😁😁 If you just joined, please fill up this survey so we can better tailor the films we show. [https://forms.gle/juPwhehSV2NosLee9](https://forms.gle/juPwhehSV2NosLee9) The event takes place at the Social Welfare organization called **MUT**. It is an organisation that works on social issues such as Emergency & Homeless Assistance, Food Rescue and Environment Protection. MUT is a non profit organization that provides us with the space to host the event. A small donation towards their cause helps them a lot.

Hi everyone! On **Saturday, March 14**, 2026, I am planning a beautiful early-spring hike. This hike combines scenic landscapes, gentle walking, and many layers of European history in one surprisingly rich area. Our route will take us across Braunsberg, past Hainburg Castle, and through parts of the Hundsheimer Berge. As we walk, history appears naturally along the trail: remains of Celtic settlements (including reconstructed sections of a wooden palisade and watchtower), traces of Roman routes, the medieval town walls of Hainburg, and even landscapes that once formed part of the Cold War border. **What makes this hike special** 🌄 Wide panoramic views over the **Danube**, the **Marchfeld plains**, and toward **Bratislava** 🏺 Traces of everyday life in ancient times, from Celtic earthworks to Roman routes 🏰 Atmospheric **medieval walls, gates, and castle ruins** in Hainburg an der Donau 🌍 A peaceful landscape that once marked a **Cold War border**, now open and welcoming ⛰️ **Arche Noah Half-Cave** – a small rock shelter typical of the karst landscape of Braunsberg We will explore all of this at a **relaxed pace**, with time to enjoy the views, conversations, and quiet moments in nature. **Meeting Point & Travel** We will meet at **Wien-Praterstern station at 07:45am** near the ticket machines. Please arrive a little early so we have enough time to organize the group tickets. If you join the Einfach-raus-**group ticket**, please note: * The ticket requires us to **travel together on both the outbound and return journey** * If you would like more flexibility (for example leaving earlier or later), or if you arrive too late at the meeting point please **buy your own VOR Freizeit-ticket instead** The train leaves 08:15am from Wien-Praterstern and we should arrive in Hainburg by 09:26am. Trains back to Vienna run every hour and we would aim for the train back to Vienna leaving Hainburg at 17:06. **Hike Details** Duration: approx. **6 hours** (pure walking time) Distance: approx. **16.6 km** Elevation: **750 m up / 749 m down** Difficulty: **Technically easy**, but **basic fitness required** More information about the trail: [https://www.bergwelten.com/t/w/9343](https://www.bergwelten.com/t/w/9343) **Group Pace & Staying Togehter** Friendly reminder: This is a social hike, not a speed competition. We will walk at a comfortable group pace and take short breaks when needed. If you prefer to walk much faster, this may not be the right hike for you. Staying roughly together helps with navigation, safety, and group feeling. Thank you for helping create a friendly and supportive atmosphere for everyone. **Practical notes** I will send a weather update on Thursday evening to everyone who is registered. Mid-March can feel like spring — or like winter returning for one last surprise. **Please bring:** * Sturdy hiking shoes * Layered clothing * At least 1 liter of water * Your own snacks (no restaurant stop is planned) Some sections might be muddy depending on the weather. **Disclaimer** As always, this is a free private leisure activity. I am not a certified hiking guide, and participation is at your own responsibility and risk. Looking forward to seeing you on the trail! Jörg **Information regarding the ticket options** **The "Einfach-raus" Group Ticket** We will use a group ticket and it requires some coordination: * **How it works:** It is one ticket for a group of 2–5 people. We will form these groups who then have to travel together both directions at the meeting point at **07:45 - please be on time if you want to participate**. **You must travel together for both the departure and the return journey.** You cannot split off and take a different train home if you are on a group ticket. * **The Cost:** The more people in a group, the cheaper it gets. Expect to pay between €**10 and €19** per person. To be fair, we can either pay by specific group size or pool all money and split it equally. * **Cash is Mandatory:** Please bring **physical cash and coins**. We need to collect the money before buying the tickets to make sure everyone gets their change back quickly. Information regarding this ticket: [https://www.oebb.at/en/tickets-kundenkarten/freizeit-urlaub/einfach-raus-ticket](https://www.oebb.at/en/tickets-kundenkarten/freizeit-urlaub/einfach-raus-ticket) If you prefer not to be tied to a group, or if you aren't sure when you want to head back to Vienna, do not join the group ticket. Instead, buy the VOR Freizeitticket, it costs €19,90 for the day in lower Austria. This will also be your option to still join if you arrive too late for the group ticket.

*Light is the subject. Everything else supports it.* **Extended Photography Workshop** Date: Saturday, 14 March (14.03.2026) Start: 16:00 Duration: approx. 4.5 hours Location\*\*:\*\* Vienna (exact meeting point shared after booking) *** This workshop is built around the transition from daylight to night. We’ll work with natural light first and then move into controlled artificial light, allowing you to experience how different light sources shape mood, contrast, and meaning. This workshop is focused on light — how to recognise it, shape it, and use it intentionally. In the first part, we’ll work with natural light, contrast, direction, and colour, and how these elements influence mood and meaning in a photograph. The second half will be dedicated to working with artificial light, as that helps even further to understand how to work with light. During the workshop I keep the focus on perception: learning to notice light before you lift the camera, and understanding how composition supports it. You’ll learn how to simplify scenes, work with shadows, and make conscious choices rather than reacting to what’s in front of you. The workshop is crucial as even professionals often do not use light to the full potential and I’ve seen many times when people working as photographers are forgetting about the most fundamental and complex part of it – light! Photo is light and here I explain ways to use it to your advantage ###### During the workshop you’ll * observe and analyse light before taking a photograph * practice seeing contrast, direction, and colour in real situations * shoot guided exercises focused on light, not subjects * review images together and talk through decisions * learn how to approach unfamiliar scenes with a clear visual intention ###### After the workshop You should feel more confident recognising good light, making deliberate choices, and understanding why you take a photograph — not just how. To book this workshop you can get in touch through my contact form. Please note that a 50% prepayment is required to secure your spot \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **To book the workshop and learn more about it you can visit:** [https://www.phfedorvasilev.com/photography-workshops-in-vienna/](https://www.phfedorvasilev.com/photography-workshops-in-vienna/) **And get in touch to book:** [https://www.phfedorvasilev.com/contact/](https://www.phfedorvasilev.com/contact/)

This time we are trying to bring order into busy images. Preferably bring a wider lens. More info when we meet. Donation Based Event: *If you'd like to support my work with a donation, that's awesome, but it's entirely up to you. The main goal is to come together and enjoy the photo walk. Your presence is what matters most!* **Important: To make it easier to find each other we have a group chat where we also connect, share pictures and updates about meetings: [https://t.me/+_xMTFu0BKaoyYzVi](https://t.me/+_xMTFu0BKaoyYzVi)** To see examples of my works you can follow these links: 🔗 My Website ([https://www.phfedorvasilev.com/](https://www.phfedorvasilev.com/))🔗 Instagram ([https://www.instagram.com/phfedorvasilev/](https://www.instagram.com/phfedorvasilev/)) If you shoot on a phone you can get an app like Pro Cam for iPhone these apps will give you more power over the settings.

Discover the fairytale-like Lövérek hills just outside Sopron (HU) with crystal clear air and pleasant alpine climate.

In the depth of the forest, we'll also pass the historic Trianon memorial site. Price includes organization, train tickets and friendly host. To secure your spots, please ...

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

**\*\*\* We've Moved! Bold Penguin - 6555 Longshore St, Dublin, OH 43017 \*\*\*** Jonathan Stevens **Polymorphic Association - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly** When Active Record works, it’s great. Polymorphic associations in Active Record promise elegant flexibility: one interface, many possible models. When they work, they feel almost magical. But when your application grows and real‑world complexity sets in, that magic can quickly turn into confusion, broken queries, and performance headaches. We’ll explore where polymorphic associations shine, where they silently introduce technical debt, and why even experienced Rails developers can end up wrestling with unscoped queries, tricky joins, and hard‑to‑optimize relationships. We’ll walk through real examples of tangled polymorphic logic—and more importantly, show practical strategies to refactor, untangle, or even avoid these pitfalls entirely. By the end, you’ll know when to reach for polymorphism, when to run away from it, and what to do when your complex query simply refuses to cooperate. **AGENDA:** * See updates to parking below * Doors open at 5:30, feel free to come and hang out before! * Official start of the meeting is at 6:30pm * After the meeting is done, we will go hang out at a nearby space in Bridge Park! If you can, please sign up via meetup by noon the day of the meeting so we can have an estimate headcount for food :) We always order extra, so feel free to join us even if you don't get signed up! Thank you to Bold Penguin for providing the food and location! **Parking & Arrival:** **Parking:** Parking in Bridge Park is free.
