La maggior parte dei principianti inizia a sentirsi a proprio agio in acqua dopo poche lezioni e impara progressivamente a muoversi e nuotare in autonomia. 👤 Limited spots (2–3 people per weekend) to ensure personal attention 👤 Posti limitati (2–3 persone a weekend) per garantire attenzione personalizzata 💰 Pricing / Prezzi: • Trial session (60 min): €15 • Lezione prova (60 min): €15 • 5-session program: €100 (€20/session) • Pacchetto 5 lezioni: €100 (€20/lezione) • 10-session program: €200(€200/session – recommended) • Pacchetto 10 lezioni: €200 (€200/lezione – consigliato) 📅 Schedule: (flexible timing) 📅 Orari: (orari flessibili) 📍 Location: Milano ⚠️ This is a structured program, not a casual drop-in class. ⚠️ Questo è un programma strutturato, non una lezione occasionale. 📩 Send me a message with your level and availability to get started 📩 Scrivimi indicando il tuo livello e disponibilità per iniziare

I’m Raz a movement and yoga teacher with over 10 years of experience studying and practicing in India, the birthplace of yoga. I’ve taught internationally and worked with people from many backgrounds, helping them move with greater ease, awareness, and confidence. I’ve recently made Milan my home, and as an international teacher now based here, I would love to build a welcoming community through regular movement, breath, and mindful practice. These sessions are especially designed for people navigating daily modern life long hours at a desk, office work, stress, and tension from sitting or repetitive movement. ⸻ What to expect These sessions blend: \* Mobility work to improve joint health, coordination, and ease of movement \* Flexibility training to safely release tension from daily posture and gradually increase range of motion \* Breathwork & mindfulness to regulate the nervous system and support mental clarity and stress relief No experience or flexibility is required — the practice is fully adaptable to all levels. ⸻ About the class Each 60-minute session is a complete guided practice designed to help you feel better in your body — not only during the class, but in your daily life. We move through: \* Gentle warm-up and joint preparation \* Controlled mobility sequences to counteract stiffness from sitting and office work \* Deep stretching targeting common tight areas (hips, back, shoulders, neck) \* Breath awareness to reduce stress and reset the mind after a busy day \* Guided relaxation to integrate the practice and calm the nervous system The approach is slow, mindful, and progressive, focusing on quality of movement rather than intensity or performance.

**Il tema della serata** 📌 Camilla ci porta con sè nel dietro le quinte della vita del fotografo (termine che, però, le va stretto). Dai primi scatti, realizzati nella propria stanza, di una ragazza adolescente timida ed insicura, al successo a livello internazionale, realizzando il proprio sogno di scattare per il National Geographic. Un viaggio fra le difficoltà e gli ostacoli di un percorso professionale che ha portato Camilla a realizzare il proprio sogno. Una storia che ci fornirà spunti di riflessione, consigli pratici e principi da applicare in ambiti anche diversi da quello prettamente artistico. **Il nostro ospite 🎙️** **Camilla Ferrari**— Camilla Ferrari (nata nel 1992) è una fotografa e Visual Artist milanese. Il suo lavoro unisce approccio documentaristico e poesia visiva, combinando fotografie e brevi video immersivi per esplorare la percezione, il confine tra sogno e realtà e gli aspetti nascosti della vita quotidiana. I suoi lavori sono stati pubblicati da **National Geographic**, **The New York Times**, **NPR**, **Artsy** e **Domus**. Ha inoltre collaborato con aziende come Apple, Lamborghini, Canon e Sony Music. Nel 2025 è stata speaker al **TEDx** Conegliano, intervenendo sul tema “Invisible”. **Format e Agenda 📋** L'evento è a **numero chiuso** — pochi posti, location giusta, dialogo vero. * **18:45** · Apertura porte e benvenuto. * **19:00 - 19.50** · Intervento dell'ospite in forma aperta. Nessun copione, nessuna lezione, solo conversazione autentica e dialogo diretto con l'audience. * **A seguire** · Networking libero 🥂 *Prima consumazione e light aperitivo inclusi. Ulteriori drink e food disponibili alla carta.* *** Ti aspettiamo per una serata densa di idee, spunti inaspettati e persone nuove che vale la pena conoscere. 💡 *L'unica cosa che ti chiediamo: puntualità.

Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille. Antonio

Hello everybody, I usually look for events on Saturdays but I can hardly ever find any, so I asked myself, "Why don't I organise one ?" The idea is to meet at **Next Bar in Via Crema 7** (Very close to P.ta Romana underground station / yellow line) at **18:00** and hang out there for some time. You can also enjoy drinks and eat for 13 Euros (p.s. the buffet is mind-blowing). Guests are required to buy their first drink upon entry. I kindly encourage you to RSVP during the week if you can. I really hope to meet you on Saturday! Don't worry if you can't see many people who've RSVPed, the event is advertised on other platforms, so there will be plenty of people to mingle with. When you get there ask for **Riccardo**. Feel free to WhatsApp me at **+39 334 283 1963** During the event, you'll have the opportunity to join our WhatsApp group by scanning QR codes displayed on the tables to stay in touch. Looking forward to a great time together!

Hey Everyone! Let's meet at Belle's Bread Bakery and Cafe. There is lots of free parking and easy access to the cafe and many shops and restaurants as well. This is a great way to meet new and old friends while chatting about life and practicing English language speaking skills. All are welcome and encouraged to join us anytime between 11am and 1pm. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

The aim of this group is to get together and practice our German. Doesn’t matter if are a beginner or a native speaker. The goal is to speak and improve our German. Everyone is welcome! If the weather is good, look for us in the Biergarten. Pro Tip: Get there before 6:00 for happy hour pricing.

Bienvenue! We host a twice-a-month French conversation club at La Chatelaine on Lane. All levels welcome! Whether you're new to French or running for Président de la République you are welcome here! We often read plays together, play vocabulary games, and generally enjoy the delicious food available at La Chatelaine! We will be at the long table in the back of the restaurant. A bientôt!

If you enjoy knitting, crocheting, working with yarn, this is the group for you. Meet new friends, bring your projects, learn from others.
We normally meet a few times a month during the week from 6-8pm. We will occasionally meet on weekends during daytime hours.

Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

Ciao a tutt\*! Let's meet Monday at 6.30pm at the Upper Arlington Library (Tremont Branch) in **Meeting Room A** to speak in Italian for 1 hour.
