**About** Would your embedded product benefit from application logic updates that do not require changes to the full firmware? Or a mechanism for your customers to tweak and extend the functionality of the product? Using their favourite language(s), without proprietary tooling? And all that while your product stays secure, no matter how creative said customers get? WebAssembly (abbreviated Wasm) might be exactly what you are looking for. Join us this evening to learn about the state of the art of running WebAssembly on MCUs, and to experience a practical example of a real world, production grade embedded code base targeting WebAssembly and running in a browser. Merging the two approaches is then left to the visitors as a take-home exercise. **Presentations** 1. 15’: Welcome (Urs/Reto and SCS) 2. 40’: Browser technology on the MCU? Introduction to WebAssembly, overview of existing embedded runtimes, use cases, discussion. (Pascal Mainini) 3. 30’: Unlocking Bluetooth Connectivity in Browsers: From Sensors to Audio (Matthias Ringwald) Presentations start at 19:00. Afterwards we’ll have plenty of time to discuss and socialize. **About the speakers** * [Pascal Mainini](https://mainini.ch/) is a teacher and researcher at [Berner Fachhochschule](https://www.bfh.ch/en/about-bfh/people/kkmsprgzbqc2/), focussing on the security of embedded systems and the Internet of Things. * [Matthias Ringwald](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthiasringwald/) is a Co-Founder of [BlueKitchen GmbH](https://bluekitchen-gmbh.com/) and develops their Bluetooth stack.

**Meditationsreihe: Fokus finden – Konzentration & Achtsamkeit stärken** Dienstags, 9. – 23. Juni 2026, 18:30-19:45Uhr im Volkshaus Zürich mit Gen Kelsang Devi (Englisch mit deutscher Übersetzung), 25CHF www.kadampa.ch/zurich-city/ Unser Leben fühlt sich oft chaotisch und stressig an. Manchmal haben wir Mühe, unsere täglichen Aufgaben und Pflichten erfolgreich zu erledigen. Es mag helfen, unseren Lebensstil, unsere Routine oder unseren Job in irgendeiner Weise zu verändern, aber im Grunde genommen wird sich unser Leben immer überwältigend anfühlen, wenn wir es versäumen, unseren unruhigen, unkonzentrierten Geist zu adressieren. An diesen Meditationsabenden werden wir erkennen, wie ein abgelenkter, unruhiger Geist unsere Leistungsfähigkeit und unser Wohlbefinden einschränkt, während ein ruhiger, konzentrierter Geist uns glücklich und effizient macht. Wir werden lernen, was Konzentration ist, welche Vorteile sie hat und wie wir sie entwickeln können, sowohl in der Meditation als auch, und das ist entscheidend, in unserem täglichen Leben. **Themenliste** 9\. Juni 2026 \| Fokus finden 16\. Juni 2026 \| Ablenkungen loslassen 23\. Juni 2026 \| Achtsamkeit für den Alltag

**Kon-Tiki Comedy Tuesday!** Zurich's longest standing weekly Comedy Night : English Standup at Kon-Tiki Bar since 2018! **Tickets :** [https://shorturl.at/fgjmM](https://shorturl.at/fgjmM) Kon-Tiki Comedy has long become a staple of Tuesday Nights in Zurich! Veterans, regulars, amateurs & newbies from all around the world show up to make people laugh. This Comedy Open Mic is regularly Hosted by Ahmet Bilge. Kon-Tiki Comedy is the place for English Standup in central Zurich. Come join & laugh with us! **Early Show starts at 19:30 pm // Late Show starts at 21:30 pm** **Frequently Asked Questions:** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Q: Is the show in English?** A: YES. Kon-Tiki Comedy is always in English. **Q: What's the difference of a Comedy Open Mic from a regular Comedy Show?** A: Anybody who wants can go on stage at a Comedy Open Mic. A bunch of Comedians will be there, but they will be trying out jokes, because this is how Comedians find out if something is funny or not, so you get to be there at the birthplace of jokes. Often Comedy Open Mics are more casual & but also funny as well! **Q: Can I perform Comedy also?** A: Yes of course! Just contact theamericanstandupshow@gmail.com if you're interested in performing. Or directly go to the event page on facebook & write "SPOT" inside the event discussion. You'll be confirmed later & will get 5minutes to start off with. Anybody can sign up! **Q: What about these seats?** A : We have enough seats for everyone but the first come first served rule applies! Especially since Kon-Tiki Comedy is popular, often it is packed inside, so come early for good seats. What's early? Anything before 19:00 & you will have your seat of choice. **Q : What about the late show?** Depending on the turnout a late show is also available most of the time, please check the ticket page to see if there is a late show option. Basically if you can buy tickets to the late show, it's happening, if it's not an option for a ticket it's not! Both shows might be consolidated into one if there's not enough ticket sold for the late show. In this case you will recieve an e-mail telling you so. **Q : Can I refund my ticket?** There are no refunds allowed because it becomes too much work for a simple Comedy Open Mic, so only buy your ticket if you know you're for sure going to be able to make it. But if for some reason you can't make it, you are welcome to use your ticket for any future Kon-Tiki Comedy Shows. Just write an e-mail to exchange. **Q : Can I buy tickets at the door?** No please don't. Technically we can but it complicates everything, so just buy them online. Just to persuade you NOT to ask to buy at the door: Tickets at the door are 15.-CHF. Please buy online : ) **Q: Will it be funny?** A : You betcha. You can't do a regular show since 2018 & not be funny. **Any other questions:** Email: theamericanstandupshow@gmail.com with the title "Kon-Tiki Comedy" But if it's any of the questions covered by the FAQ above, I will still answer it, *but first I will insult you.* **Legal Disclaimer:** Comedians may film their sets as well as the audience during the comedy show. By buying a ticket you consent to being filmed in this public space. If you ever have a problem with any clip published online you are very welcome to contact us & ask to have it removed, we are happy to accomodate you. Thank you for your understanding.

Wir sprechen über unsere Coachingng Erfahrungen. Was wir erlebt haben als Klienten aber auch als Coach (falls wir selbst in diesem Feld tätig sind). Der Austausch soll dabei helfen die eigenen Erfahrungen neu zu reflektieren und somit neue Inspiration und Ideen bringen. Vielleicht ergeben sich auch Synergien an die wir bisher nicht gedacht hatten.

Summer is beginning and - slowly inching to higher altitudes - the season for mountain hiking starts! This event is a good example of «true purpose» and «excuse» (i.e. formal purpose) being different: The true purpose, of course, is (1) after-work-drinks, but (2) a look behind the scenes of Zurich Hike & Outdoor is a good excuse, isn't it? **TARGET AUDIENCE:** * Work is done, after-work-drinks are just the right thing now. AND * Your approach has been so far: «Joining a hike is great, but being the host? Nah, rather not.» OR * There are things about organising hikes you always wanted to ask OR * There are not enough hikes to your liking / at your level OR * You are tired of remaining on the waitlist OR * You have thought about maybe organising a hike yourself, but ... errr ... but but but OR * You have seriously thought about becoming a H&O Event Organiser OR * After three drinks you might just accidentally say "Yes". **MEETING:** * 17:00h at the Bierwerk pub * Bierwerk Züri: [https://www.bierwerkzueri.ch/](https://www.bierwerkzueri.ch/) * Bierwerk Züri: Gustav-Gull-Platz 10, 8004 Zürich * Map (getting there from HB): [https://schweizmobil.ch/en/tour/760924908?layers=Station&logos=yes](https://schweizmobil.ch/en/tour/760924908?layers=Station&logos=yes) * Probably the weather will allow to be outside **THE PLAN:** * Drinks * Various topics around being a H&O event organiser * Discuss hiking ideas and plans * Maybe ... become an event organiser **DIFFICULTY:** * The trail from HB to the pub is NOT marked by any hiking signs, I guess it must be T5 or more then! #################### **DISCLAIMER:** You yourself are responsible for the drinks you have and the intoxication they might cause.

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. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
