Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani (Live in-person and online on selected Thursdays via Zoom) You are warmly invited to join the Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Acharya Amrita Rani — a living space of awakenings and direct experience. These sessions are created both for beginners and seasoned practitioners who wish to deepen their meditation practice, stabilize awakening, and walk the path of enlightenment with guidance and support. Whether you are new or experienced, each gathering offers a grounded structure to help you build consistency in daily practice and grow in confidence on your spiritual path. At the heart of Open Heart teachings is direct recognition. Through the Two-Part Formula and precise meditative guidance, you are supported in shifting from self-based mode into selfless awareness, again and again, until cessation of suffering takes place. A central and deeply transformative practice in Open Heart is guru yoga. Through guru yoga, the practitioner directly connects with awakened awareness through devotion, transmission, and experiential recognition. With the help of this profound method, one recognizes their true selfless ease, the natural, effortless state beyond space and time. Alongside guru yoga, the sessions include insight meditation (Vipashyana), tantric methods, dynamic concentration, trauma-healing techniques, and foundational practices such as Bodhicitta prayers. Each session includes guided meditation, space for questions, reflection, and personal support. Rani’s meditation sessions are held live on Zoom on selected Thursdays from 18:30 to 20:00 (CET). Recordings may be available for continued integration and practice on her YouTube channel, The Sweetness of Enlightenment.

Rainbow Body Yoga – Level 1 Online Course We warmly invite you to join the Rainbow Body Yoga Level 1 Course, a transformative practice from the Open Heart tradition. The course is taught by Amrita Rani, an ordained sangha member and trained Open Heart instructor. You are welcome to join either in person in Zgornje Gorje, Slovenia, or online via Zoom. Rainbow Body Yoga is a profound tantric non-meditation practice designed to deconstruct the selfing mechanism of the mind. Through the Guru mantras of Padmasambhava and Yeshe Tsogyal, subtle energy practices, and dynamic concentration, we cut through self-based energies that block the direct recognition of our natural state. Although regarded within the tradition as a post-awakening purification practice, you do not need to be awakened to begin. The practice itself deepens recognition of the selfless state, supporting further awakenings and the maturation of clarity. Both those who have experienced awakening shifts and those who feel called to deepen their spiritual path are warmly welcome. This carefully structured sequence works directly with the causal body, where self-based energies are stored. We examine the klesha of ignorance (avidya), the root of existential suffering. With the Guru’s blessings, RBY techniques, and vipashyana (direct seeing), even the subtlest layers of selfing can be cut through. As the practice deepens, you become familiar with the clarity and aliveness of your enlightened mind. Eventually, you recognize that wakeful awareness has always been present, even within negative thoughts and emotions. As mental clutter dissolves into the natural state, increased clarity brings deep healing. Self-sabotaging patterns can be liberated, and the energy once consumed by worry and rumination becomes available to you. Practiced consistently, Rainbow Body Yoga reveals the natural luminosity of selfless awareness and leads toward the realization of emptiness, not as a concept, but as a living experience. These precious practices were given to Amrita Baba by Padmasambhava through visionary transmission, offering a direct path beyond self-based suffering. Level 1 provides a grounded and systematic introduction, enabling you to continue confidently with your home practice. The process is powerful, deeply rewarding, and often brings tangible results relatively quickly. You’re welcome to join either of the weekend courses, or both, if you wish. However, attending just one weekend is already enough to begin practicing on your own. First Weekend Course 📅 20–21 June 2026 🕒 3:00–9:00 pm (CET) Dinner break approximately 6:00–7:30 pm each day Participation fee: Sliding scale €100–200, depending on your financial situation. Please make your payment in advance via PayPal to: kaisaeskeli@gmail.com Register by emailing Amrita Rani at kaisaeskeli@gmail.com. You will receive the Zoom link for all sessions. If you are joining in person, you will receive the address of the event location in Zgornje Gorje, Slovenia. Welcome all!

Hallo liebe Java User Group Mitglieder! Diesmal haben wir zwei Bonner Kollegen zu Gast: * Martin Stoller: **Backend-Performance in Hochlast-Systemen: Lösungsansätze aus dem Data Engineering** * Andreas Monschau: **Zehn goldene Regeln, um dein Softwareprojekt zuverlässig zu ruinieren** Wir freuen uns euch zu sehen (virtuell oder vor Ort). Dank an [codecentric](https://www.codecentric.de/standorte/nuernberg) für Location, Bier und Pizza! ================= Viele Hochlast-Systeme beginnen als kleine, unscheinbare Prototypen - gebaut mit bewährten Mitteln wie relationalen Datenbanken, objektorientierter Business-Logik und klassischen Request-Response-Architekturen. Doch was passiert, wenn diese Systeme plötzlich nicht mehr Tausende, sondern Millionen von Requests bedienen oder Terabytes an Daten verarbeiten müssen? In der Praxis zeigt sich häufig: Klassische Optimierungen wie Caching, horizontale Skalierung oder effizientere Algorithmen stoßen irgendwann an ihre Grenzen, weil sie innerhalb desselben Paradigmas bleiben. Dieser Vortrag zeigt, warum echte Skalierbarkeit oft ein Umdenken erfordert. Anhand eines durchgehenden Praxisbeispiels wird schrittweise demonstriert, wie sich ein System von einer latenzoptimierten Request-Response-Architektur hin zu einem durchsatzoptimierten, analytischen System entwickelt. Dabei werden zentrale Konzepte aus dem Data Engineering greifbar gemacht - darunter Precomputation, Batch Processing, deklarative Verarbeitung und Denormalisierung - und in den Kontext klassischer Backend-Entwicklung eingeordnet. Die Teilnehmenden lernen, typische Grenzen traditioneller Architekturen zu erkennen und erhalten ein alternatives Denkmodell, um High-Throughput-Systeme gezielt und nachhaltig zu skalieren. ================= Softwareprojekte sind chaotisch, anstrengend und voller Überraschungen. Und ganz ehrlich: So soll es auch bleiben. Ordnung würde ja nur den Spaß verderben. Trotzdem gibt es immer wieder Menschen, die glauben, man könnte Projekte wirklich zu Erfolg führen… unglaublich, oder? Damit dir so etwas nicht passiert, zeige ich dir in diesem Vortrag, wie du ein Softwareprojekt in 10 einfachen Schritten zuverlässig an die Wand fährst. Die „goldenen Anti-Pattern für maximalen Projektschaden“ entstammen jedoch nicht meiner Fantasie, nein, sie werden in der Realität täglich mit beeindruckender Konsequenz praktiziert. Und das Beste: Sie wirken nachhaltig. Manche dieser Muster entfalten ihre volle Zerstörungskraft erst Monate später. Nachdem du alle Regeln kennengelernt hast, kannst du selbst entscheiden: Möchtest du sie weiterhin anwenden, oder vielleicht doch etwas verändern? Solltest du allerdings inspiriert sein, eines dieser Anti-Pattern künftig noch konsequenter zu leben… dann sollten wir uns nach dem Talk dringend unterhalten. ================= Dein Vortrag bei der Java Usergroup Nürnberg! Hast du dich in letzter Zeit in deinem Projekt oder privat mit einem interessanten Thema beschäftigt? Vermutlich ist das nicht nur für dich selbst interessant! Hast du Lust, selber einmal einen Vortrag bei der Java-Usergroup Nürnberg zu halten? Wir sind nicht nur auf Java-Themen fokussiert, sondern beschäftigen uns gern mit und um alles über Software Entwicklung und IT. Wir wollen bei der JUG nicht nur bekannten Speaker\*innen eine Plattform geben und die neuesten State-of-the-Art Technologien vorstellen. Wir freuen uns auch besonders, wenn wir Themen aus unserem technologischen (Arbeits-)alltag Raum geben zu können. Melde dich gerne bei uns, wenn du dazu Lust hast, wir geben wenn gewünscht gerne auch Hilfestellung bei der Vorbereitung!

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.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
