A truly magical landscape. 🌿 Why go now? With the power of spring, the waterfall boasts a spectacular flow, and the valley teems with life. 📖 I'll share the stories of the area, its fauna, flora, and heritage. 📸 I'll teach you how to improve your photography, both technically and conceptually, using your phone's camera or an external one. 💫 Long Exposure Special: We'll learn to master shutter speed (even with your phone) to capture the soft, magical "silk effect" on water 🌊, transform constant movement into hypnotic, dynamic strokes 🏃‍♀️💨, and paint with light. Bring a tripod if you have one. 👀 Through meditative hiking, we'll work on actively observing the landscape to connect with your surroundings, with yourself, and disconnect from your routine. 🥾 I'll guide you in improving your hiking skills and equipment so you can take better care of your body and tackle increasingly challenging routes. 🧘‍♀️ The ultimate goal is connecting with nature and our well-being, not the distance covered or the technique perfected. We'll also have dedicated moments of meditative silence. 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ Meet future friends who share your passions. PLAN 👥 We'll be a small group of 6 to 20 people to respect the environment of the areas we explore and to better interact with each other. 🐶 Pets welcome! 🥾 Enjoy a 12 km circular route of easy to moderate difficulty with an elevation gain of 200 m. One stream must be crossed barefoot or in water shoes. ⏳ Total duration: 10.5 hours. Includes 1 hour of transportation each way. 🚌 We'll travel to and from Tetouan or Sagrera by bus. 🚗 Let me know if you're driving and we'll meet in Castellterçol; it's a circular route. 🎁 Take home my audiovisual report of the experience and the photo series taken by you and your companions as a souvenir. 🖼️ You consent to appear in the group photos unless you tell me otherwise. ✍️ I will give you guidelines and photography exercises to continue improving your photography skills. ✨ Let's create a memorable excursion!

You may find ice breaker questions on the table in case you need them to help start enthralling conversations. * **Rotation** → At the signal (host announcement or gong), the guys move to the next partner. The rotation is always following the order of the numbers or letters you will find on the table: A,B,C,D,E,F... 1,2,3,4,5,6... When you get to the last number you will jump to the first one. Same with letters. Boys will be stand up 30 seconds to take notes and girls will remain sitting in same position. * **Half-break** → There is no half-break but if you want to pause, just ask the host if you can skip a round of 7 minutes so you can order drinks or food, go to the can or just relax at the garden. * **End of Rounds** → At the end we usually gather at the garden to have a drink. Like this you still have time to talk to people and make your decision. * **Fill the sheet** → Participants indicate who they’d like to see again. Maximum 3 names.

Speaker: Utku Can Ozturk, Data Scientist and main developer of the Gigaspatial project Geospatial data is critical for global development, but practitioners constantly battle fragmented data, scaling issues, and complex integrations across vector and raster formats. Enter GigaSpatial, an open-source Python library built by UNICEF’s Giga initiative to help connect every school in the world to the internet. In this talk, we will explore the architecture behind GigaSpatial and how it replaces the need to stitch together a dozen different tools to answer a single spatial question. We will dive into how the library orchestrates data collection, transformation, and standardisation pipelines at scale. By leveraging strict configuration validation, object-oriented data connectors, and seamless multi-store management, GigaSpatial provides a unified API to wrangle spatial data. Finally, we’ll look at real-world applications across 30 countries, from validating point-of-interest data against multiple global building footprints to running zonal aggregations using different grid systems. Whether you are a data engineer, a GIS professional, or a Python developer interested in open-source architecture, you might find this talk an interesting look into how we build robust spatial pipelines; and we would love to explore ways you can contribute to this global mission. 📅 **Date:** 21 May ⏰ **Start time:** 19:00 h 📍 **Location:** [Akasha Hub](https://maps.app.goo.gl/CZE8q8uaag8UgnRCA) \- Carrer de la Verneda\, 19\, Nau 1 · Barcelona

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, 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 due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "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. 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 Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
