Regla #1: No intentes darle sentido a la locura o te volverás loco. La Regla #2 es una metáfora: Debes aceptar que la persona de la que estabas enamorado está muerta y se ha ido para siempre. (Si aceptas la regla 2, dejarás de romper la regla #1) Este grupo de Meetup fue creado para apoyar a cualquier persona que esté pasando por el final de una relación romántica, una separación o un divorcio. A estas alturas, dependiendo de a quién hayas recurrido en busca de consuelo, probablemente hayas descubierto que la mayoría de amigos y familiares carecen de la empatía que necesitas—o peor aún, ofrecen sugerencias críticas sobre cómo “deberías” estar manejando tu situación. Este grupo es tu lugar seguro. Es un espacio para compartir, procesar y aprender—libre de vergüenza y lleno de apoyo real. Es un lugar para evitar más abuso y navegar el desamor con compasión. También estamos conectados a una enorme comunidad en línea de apoyo para el divorcio, a la cual presentamos a nuestros miembros en cada reunión. Hay muchísimos recursos gratuitos: sitios web, libros, videos y herramientas para ayudarte a sanar. Si tu corazón está roto por cualquier otra razón, también eres bienvenido aquí. Qué esperar: Apoyo real – darte cuenta de que no estás solo en esto Sanación del abuso narcisista Sanación de un corazón roto Buenos momentos con gente increíble Consejos de otros que han pasado por lo mismo Recursos – referencias a abogados, terapeutas, mudanceros, agentes inmobiliarios, investigadores privados—prácticamente cualquier cosa que puedas necesitar Amistad y conversación entre todas las edades No hay ningún costo para asistir a los eventos de Meetup. Puedes unirte en cualquier momento y quedarte todo el tiempo que necesites. No estamos afiliados a ninguna organización religiosa o política, y todas las creencias y orígenes son bienvenidos. Tampoco tienes que hablar—puedes simplemente escuchar hasta que estés listo. Algo que escuchamos a menudo es: “No estoy seguro de si estoy en el grupo correcto.” Si te estás haciendo esa pregunta… Estás en el grupo correcto. �� Gracias por unirte a nosotros. Estamos comprometidos a acompañarte durante esta etapa difícil. Por favor ten en cuenta: Este no es un grupo de terapia certificado. No soy consejero matrimonial con licencia, psicólogo, psiquiatra ni trabajador social—ni tampoco lo son los otros facilitadores. Sin embargo, podemos referirte a profesionales con licencia si sientes que es algo que necesitas.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

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.

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
