Let’s meet on the last day of February for a gentle, warm, and slightly unpredictable afternoon together. This meetup is for people who enjoy meaningful conversations, emotional awareness, and authentic exchanges, the kind that leave you feeling both lighter and more alive. 🌟 What to expect A small circle of open-minded humans, with tea, coffee, or food in hand, sharing self-reflection, philosophy, psychology or simply ideas and inspirations that arise naturally in the moment. There is no fixed topic. The conversation flows on its own.🪄 To give you a sense, here are some topics that emerged last time: - If you have lived in different places and cultures for many years, can you still define your origin as where you were born? - How to find peace and calm (inspired by Indian philosophy). - If someone behaves differently from most people in a system, are they wrong? (I’ve shared my perspective on this topic [[click here](https://www.instagram.com/p/DTqk5t6Avy_/?igsh=MXBhemd5ZTE1dnFzcQ==) ], feel free to add your own in comments 💬. ) - Where would you like to spend your retirement, and why? - How to position yourself as an expat in a country like Luxembourg. - Cultural differences around complaining: in some cultures it’s negative, in others it’s seen as necessary for change. - Human energy, presence, and “frequency” — and how we influence it. - … and more. 📌 Practical details 📍 Venue: Bouneweger Stuff 📅 Date: Saturday, February 28, 2026 🕒 Time: 15:00 – 17:00 👥 Group size: 12 people ☕ Food & drinks: Everyone orders and pays individually (If you can’t attend, please cancel so someone else can take the spot.) If you enjoy authentic connection, gentle humour, openness to different perspectives, and conversations that have a life of their own - you are very welcome to join. ✨

The novel of the Ghanaian writer Yaa Gyasi tells the story of Gifty, a fifth-year candidate in neuroscience at Stanford School of Medicine. Her brother, Nana, was a gifted high school athlete who died of a heroin overdose and her suicidal mother is living in her bed. Gifty is determined to discover the scientific basis for the suffering she sees all around her. But as she turns to science to unravel the mystery, her past resurfaces, particularly the evangelical church in which she was raised. The novel questions religion and science in the face of familial loss and addiction. It portrays also the struggle of a family of Ghanaian immigrants. YAA GYASI was born in Ghana and raised in Huntsville, Alabama. At the age of 26, she won several prizes for her debut novel and best seller « Homegoing ». Among these prizes: the National Book Critics Circle's John Leonard Award for Best First Book and the PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Novel.

Following the mittens we will complement it with a beanie that is easy to make. As usual we will complement it with a glass of wine with cheese or tea/coffee with cookies... You can either use your own materials or get them on the day for an additional cost of 15eur (yarn and circular needle). To verify attendance and cover the basic costs a charge of 3EUR will apply irrespective of whether you bring your own materials or not. First 30 minutes we will test the waters on how to nail the pattern down. For 2hr we will knit away with sipping/munching breaks sprinkled in between : ) If your project is not finished on time, no worries! We can help each other through WhatsApp or simply come to the next sync. Join the WhatsApp group to share your projects and ask your questions, highlight your recommendations such as alternative fun patterns you want to try out: https://chat.whatsapp.com/K2lw4iQE5dgBVFo82Oib7z

Hello everyone! Update: Upon request, starting 16:00, let's see how it goes. Learning German (and some other languages!) over some coffee and cake in the middle of Trier. Come along if you would like to practice Deutsch, oder komm mit, wenn du Englisch üben möchtest. Viel Spaß, Fernando

Hello, Same procedure as last year, we'll do my home trail. It will be familiar to you. Or not? We start Rotondes, walk down to Grund, pass by the Romanian embassy to enter the Bonnevoie circular walk. So far so familiar. After following the path for a while, we will see those steep stairs across the street. But no worries. Seeing is not climbing up. We deviate here from the circular walk, even skipping our picnic place from last year. Instead we are going to head towards Kaltreis Parc for the break. There are tables and benches used for kid's birthdays etc. Less likely to crash someone's date. I still feel sorry for the guy from last year. After lunch, back to the forest. We'll pass a senior residence and go to a tram stop. As reminder, the trail includes plenty of forest paths. It's not a city walk. Start: Rotondes near the station Destination: Tram stop "Lycée Bonnevoie" Those interested can easily walk back from the tram stop to the starting point. Just let me know and I'll show the way. Public transport: Various options of bus, train and tram Parking: near station or Cactus Bonnevoie Hope to see many of you on Sunday! Jörg Disclaimer: The hike is at your own risk. Know your limits. Come prepared (water, food, shoes...). Don't hesitate to ask any questions.

Start: Ettelbruck Train Station Distance about 21km Ascent/descent: 440m Duration about 6h Please note that the organizer assumes no responsibility or liability for any injuries, accidents, losses, or damages that may occur during the hike. Participation is at your own risk.

On Sunday 1 March, I have arranged a private guided tour for our group of the Dräi Eechelen Museum, which is located inside the renovated Fort Thüngen and showcases Luxembourgish history from the Middle Ages to the early 1900s. The tour will start at 13:00 sharp, so please aim to be at the museum at least a few minutes early! The 15€ fee includes your museum entry and contribution to the tour guide. To make things smoother on-site, I would appreciate advance payment so we can get straight to learning things the day of :) Please message me to arrange this. See you there!

Join us for a relaxed café-style gathering where good conversation, meaningful connections, and positive energy take center stage. Expect cosy vibes, thoughtful prompts, laughter, and a few “aha” moments as we share stories, listen to different perspectives, and reflect on what lifts us up in everyday life. **Optional :** * How does the brain process happiness? Which parts of the brain are activated? * a game related to the topic

**⚡ AI & Coffee – In-Person Meetup in Luxembourg** We’re hosting the next event on Sunday 8th March from 15h00-17h00 in Updown Bar (Downstairs) Based on the great feedback last time, feel free to bring your laptops if you’d like to show your work. People were very open to sharing approaches and projects, which sparked some truly deep conversations. Looking forward to meeting you all again, and also welcoming those who couldn’t make it last time. AI is moving so fast that it’s hard to keep up alone. The best way to make sense of it is by meeting others, exchanging ideas, and hearing fresh perspectives. That’s what this meetup is about. ☕ We’ll gather in a local café for open conversations about: * AI news and trends (what’s real, what’s hype) * Sharing projects, ideas, and feedback * Supporting each other and creating new stories * Building connections with like-minded people 👥 **Who’s welcome?** Developers, entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, students, researchers, creatives — and anyone simply curious about AI. 💡 **What to expect** * Casual atmosphere, no commitment, no pressure * The host will share small icebreakers and sparks of AI news * The rest is up to you: meet, talk, connect, and exchange 🎉 The only cost is your own coffee or drink. Bring your curiosity and an open mind — and let’s build one of the most exciting AI communities in the area.

**Summary** For this event, we will do the [Rhino Barn Tour](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour) at [The Wilds](https://www.thewilds.org/), a ten-thousand acre conservation center in Muskingum County. It is the largest such center in North America and one of the largest in the entire world. During this tour, we'll visit The Wilds' rhino herd in their state-of-the-art heated barns and learn how The Wilds' animal management team takes care of one of the largest herds of rhinos outside of Africa and Asia. **The date and time of this tour** We will be doing the 1:00 p.m. [Rhino Barn Tour](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour) on Saturday, February 28. The tour is scheduled to last 90 minutes. **What you need to do to attend** Signing up here on Meetup will not get you into The Wilds for the tour. You must go out to The Wilds' [website](https://www.thewilds.org/) and [buy a ticket](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour). Please [purchase your ticket](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour), then sign up here on Meetup so I know how many to expect. **Attendance cap** There are only eight total slots/tickets available for this tour. As I obviously have already bought one of the tickets, that leaves seven spaces for everyone else. If you are interested in this event, I urge you to [buy a ticket](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour) at The Wilds' website as soon as possible. Since their website is obviously public, nothing prevents other people having nothing to do with *GOhio!* from buying their own tickets, thereby potentially taking an available slot away from you. **Additional notes on attendance** I have now run several events at The Wilds. While the location of The Wilds and the pricing of the tickets generally leads to small turnouts, the people who have gone have all enjoyed it and were glad they went. If you've never been to The Wilds and you like zoos or animals at all, you are likely to find any tour at The Wilds to be a rewarding experience. **Tickets and pricing** [Tickets](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour) for this tour are $95, or $76 if you're a Wilds' member. I've posted screen shots, below, to help you be sure you're buying tickets for the correct event. Wilds' memberships pay for themselves if you go to The Wilds at least twice a year, and [Columbus Zoo members](https://www.columbuszoo.org/membership) get a discount on memberships to The Wilds. I will always run at least two events a year at The Wilds. Tickets for all Wilds' tours must be purchased at least 24 hours in advance of the actual tour. **Cancellations and refunds** Per The Wilds' [Cancellation Policy](https://www.thewilds.org/policies): *In order to be eligible for refund and accrue no rescheduling fees, cancellations must be made at least 14 days in advance of reservation. Cancellations made within 14 days of reservation will not receive a refund.* You may [contact The Wilds](https://www.thewilds.org/contact) at (740) 638-5030 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., or you can email them at information@thewilds.org. **Waiver of liability** After you purchase your ticket, you will likely be asked to fill out a waiver of liability. This is a very short document and should take you no more than two minutes to complete. **Where we'll meet** We will meet at The Wilds, whose actual address is [14000 International Rd, Cumberland, OH 43732](https://www.google.com/maps/place/14000+International+Rd,+Cumberland,+OH+43732/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x8837dae07a595557:0xa1ceca93325a8bd1?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111). Please try to be there by 12:30 p.m. For most Wilds' tours, a shuttle bus will take you to the actual spot of the tour. So think of this as though you're going to the airport to catch a flight. It helps to be on time. The Wilds generally asks that people arrive at least thirty minutes because the scheduled start time of their tour. **GPS / Getting to The Wilds** The Wilds is in a very rural area, but I've never had a problem getting there with my GPS (I have Verizon). I've also uploaded a JPG map, below, of Muskingum County. Sometimes, though, it's hard to get a signal when you're at The Wilds and getting ready to leave. So you might want to consider downloading an offline map in Google Maps. Your cell phone should pick up a signal, however, within a few minutes after you leave. The Wilds' Visitor Center does have free Wi-Fi. **Carpooling?** If you want to carpool, I recommend discussing this in the comments, below, to this event. While I don't myself carpool, I will do what I can to help you arrange something if I can. **The weather** Dress for the weather. Just because the barn is heated doesn't mean it will be warm. And wear closed-toed shoes. Wilds' tours typically run no matter what the weather is. **After the tour** Once we're done with the rhinos, we'll head over to the very highly rated [Y-Bridge Brewing Company](https://ybridgebrewing.com/). The brewery is about thirty minutes from The Wilds, and it will be on the way back to Columbus for most, if not all, of us. The brewery's actual address is [1417 Linden Ave Ste D, Zanesville, OH 43701](https://www.google.com/maps/place/1417+Linden+Ave+d,+Zanesville,+OH+43701/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x8837edd6cc50824f:0xe3a0af1ccb2aefbf?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111). Y-Bridge Brewing does not serve food; however, they have several [food options](https://ybridgebrewing.com/food-options). I encourage you to check these out ahead of time on their website for yourself. However, here are a few of them: *Within walking distance -- 120 feet away* * [Angry Bull Saloon](https://www.facebook.com/AngryBullSaloonZanesville/) (pizza & subs) * The Corner Pub Sports Bar and Grill (classic bar food) *Delivery options -- [Door Dash](https://www.doordash.com/)* * [4 Star Pizza](https://fourstarpizza.com/), (740) 452-9300 * [Donatos](https://www.donatos.com/), (740) 452-7900 * [Pizza Cottage](https://www.pizza-cottage.com/), (740) 455-6000 * [Dominos](https://www.dominos.com/), (740) 455-3126 * [Papa John's](https://www.papajohns.com/), (740) 450-4100 If you live in the area or can't make The Wilds but still want to meet us at the brewery, that's fine too.

You will need to get your parking slip validated from the restaurant by asking them after an hour has passed. We hope to see you there!

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

We'll play board games at the [Land-Grant Brewing Company](https://landgrantbrewing.com/). The brewery has multiple [food trucks](https://landgrantbrewing.com/food/) on Sundays, including [Ray Ray's Hog Pit](https://rayrayshogpit.com/franklinton), [Buck City Sammies](https://www.buckcitysammies.com/menu), and [Hai Poké](https://www.haipokefoodtruck.com/). The brewery also has (passable) drip coffee, free water, and Jeni's ice cream. You can also walk over to the [Land Grant Extension](https://callinyourbluffcoffee.com/) for "real" coffee. (You may have to stand in line, though. The Extension is popular.) You can come late or leave early. Please just sign up so I know to expect you. **Notes on Parking** * You'll (probably) have to park on the street, but street parking is free on Sundays. * There are [parking garages](https://landgrantbrewing.com/parking/) a little farther away if you want. These are obviously not free, though. * There is a [lot next door](https://www.google.com/maps/place/39%C2%B057'26.0%22N+83%C2%B000'40.9%22W/@39.957211,-83.0119921,19z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m12!1m7!3m6!1s0x88388f3efd89238b:0xc139207386232411!2sLand-Grant+Brewing+Company!8m2!3d39.9577613!4d-83.011426!16s%2Fg%2F1pzt7t9df!3m3!8m2!3d39.957211!4d-83.011347?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDEyMS4wIKXMDSoKLDEwMDc5MjA3MUgBUAM%3D) to the brewery that you're allowed to park in, but it is not free. I've never parked there, so I don't know anything about rates. (I'm told though that if you eat at Milo's Deli next door to this lot that Milo's will stamp your parking so it's free.) * You're going to see odd signs on [Lucas St](https://www.google.com/maps/place/39%C2%B057'26.1%22N+83%C2%B000'40.3%22W/@39.957256,-83.0124134,19z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m10!1m5!3m4!2zMznCsDU3JzI4LjgiTiA4M8KwMDAnNDEuNSJX!8m2!3d39.957993!4d-83.011536!3m3!8m2!3d39.957256!4d-83.011197?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDEyMS4wIKXMDSoKLDEwMDc5MjA3MUgBUAM%3D) (saying it's a "private street") that will lead you to believe you're not allowed to park there, but you actually are. * Columbus parking cops literally do not work on Sundays. This means that, even if you're driving a non-EV, you can park in the EV spots near the brewery. **Games** I do bring many games, but please bring some of your own as well.
