GYROTONIC®
The GYROTONIC® (with equipment) and GYROKINESIS® (without equipment) methods were developed in the 1970s by Juliu Horvath, a professional Hungarian dancer who, after multiple injuries, sought a new approach to rehabilitation. This led him to create GYROTONIC®, an extraordinary discipline that combines elements of dance, yoga, swimming, and tai chi.
In the GYROTONIC® method, exercise sequences consist of rhythmic, circular movements that flow seamlessly from one to the next, allowing the joints to move freely and naturally, without compression. GYROTONIC® is a unique and original method that stimulates the nervous system, tones the muscles, and improves balance, coordination, flexibility, and strength.
The practice of GYROTONIC® is suitable for everyone, including those recovering from injuries who are looking for a new approach to rehabilitation. Each person can naturally adapt the exercises to their own physical condition and needs, so age or fitness level do not matter. The only goal is to regain agility and mobility, helping your body feel healthier and more balanced than ever.

## What we’re about
Buongiorno a tutti. 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.

Road to HACK: Fine-Tune Your Own AI Model | Hands-On Workshop
Large language models are impressive out of the box — but they hallucinate, they're generic, and they need the cloud.
What if you could take a small open-source model and turn it into a domain expert that runs on your own hardware?
That's exactly what we're doing in this hands-on workshop.
**[Luca Massaron](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lmassaron/)** — data scientist, bestselling AI author, 3x Kaggle Grandmaster, and Google Developer Expert — will walk you through a complete fine-tuning pipeline from scratch: evaluate a base model, generate synthetic training data, fine-tune with QLoRA, and measure the improvement. All on consumer-grade hardware.
By the end of the session, you'll have a repeatable playbook for making small models punch way above their weight in any domain you care about.
**What you'll work through:**
Baseline evaluation of a pre-trained model → Synthetic dataset generation from real sources → Supervised fine-tuning with QLoRA (parameter-efficient, memory-friendly) → Post-training evaluation to measure the knowledge gain → **Bonus:** fine-tuning for classification tasks (sentiment analysis)
**What to bring:**
**Your laptop**. The workshop runs on Google Colab (free T4 GPU tier), so no fancy hardware required — just a browser and a Google account. If you have a machine with an NVIDIA GPU (16GB+ VRAM) or an Apple Silicon Mac (16GB+ unified memory), you can run everything locally too.
**This event is part of Road to HACK — the official warm-up series for [GDG AI HACK 2026](https://gdgaihack.com/).**
On May 8–10, 160 selected participants will compete in a 24-hour AI hackathon in Milan, with tracks spanning on-device AI, vision AI, and EdTech.
Fine-tuning is one of the most directly applicable skills you can bring to the hack.
Applications for GDG AI HACK 2026 are open **until April 17 →** [gdgaihack.com](https://gdgaihack.com/)

CityStore: l’ecosistema fisico e digitale che connette la tua città
Quante iniziative di digitalizzazione territoriale esauriscono la propria spinta propulsiva a pochi mesi dal lancio, riducendosi a piattaforme sottoutilizzate o distanti dalle reali necessità del tessuto economico?
Il limite risiede spesso nell’approccio: la tecnologia intesa come fine, anziché come infrastruttura abilitante.
**Lunedì 27 Aprile**, le istituzioni, le aziende e i professionisti del territorio saranno invitati a partecipare ad una serata di alta divulgazione. In questa occasione sarà possibile prendere parte ad un confronto strategico su come il digitale possa agire da collante per una rigenerazione urbana tangibile e sostenibile.
Durante la serata verranno approfondite le seguenti tematiche:
* **Bando di distretto**: un’occasione unica per poter investire nella propria città rilanciando l’economia locale.
* **Welfare di Prossimità**: la creazione di un ecosistema dove i benefit aziendali alimentano direttamente l’economia locale.
* **Cashback Territoriale**: modelli di circolarità economica per trattenere il valore all’interno del bacino cittadino.
* **Integrazione Phygital**: l’evoluzione del commercio tradizionale verso un’esperienza fluida che unisce prossimità fisica e servizi digitali.
Questa serata sarà l’occasione per analizzare come l’infrastruttura di CityStore, e in particolare il caso studio di SeregnoStore, possa offrire alle imprese e alle istituzioni locali, degli strumenti concreti per far rifiorire la propria città. City Store non è solo un software, ma un ecosistema fisico-digitale che permette di mettere in connessione tra loro cittadini, imprese, attività commerciali e istituzioni.
Ti invitiamo a prendere parte a questo dialogo per definire insieme la Seregno del futuro: una città interconnessa, dove tecnologia e comunità convergono in un unico progetto di sviluppo.
📅 **Quando?** Lunedì **27 Aprile** alle ore **18.30.**
📍 **Dove?** WeDesk (via Magenta 54, ingresso via Ballerini)
*👉 Un'esperienza* immersiva e innovativa\*, pensare per favorire **connessioni** tra i membri della **Community di Interconnection** e **professionisti e aziende**.\*
### ℹ️ **Informazioni utili:**
\- Registrati subito tramite il pulsante dedicato\.
\- In caso di impossibilità a partecipare\, ti invitiamo a scrivere a: sandeep\.lacorte@intnews\.it
### 🎉 **Non mancare!**
Un’occasione unica per capire davvero come il content creation ai sta trasformando il modo di concepire il business, rendendolo più interattivo e smart.
**Registrati ora – ti aspettiamo!**

🏐🏝️ Milan Sunday Indoor Beach Volleyball | Casual | Mixed Low-Intermediate
**Limited spots!**
**1\. ℹ️ This is a regular game day for CURRENT members of our volleyball team\.**
**If you're NEW** and interested in joining, please reach out first, **do not RSVP.** From time to time, if we have extra space, we may invite a small number of new players to join as **guests** for that week.
At the moment, the group is **at capacity**, so we are **not accepting new regular members** unless invited at a later time.
**2.** Please RSVP by **Saturday** and only confirm if you can truly commit. We’re not able to accept unconfirmed drop-ins or show-ups at the court, and it’s best not to rely on the waitlist, as last-minute spots are not always possible to fill.
**What to expect:** we’re a casual, low-intermediate group. Most of us have played before, but this is not a training session or a highly structured game setup.
The goal is simply to have fun, stay active, and enjoy good games together.
* Casual 5v5 or 4v4
* We warm up first, then teams will be assigned on court
* Court: covered
* Arrive 10 minutes early so we can start on time
**Important:**
* If you’re looking for a more competitive or structured volleyball setup, these regular games may not be the best fit. You’re welcome to organize separate sessions with others or reach out to Ellie 🤞
* Please be respectful and kind: arrive on time, rotate when asked, and keep a team-first attitude so everyone gets a good run.

🥾🌿 Our Social Hike: From Milan to Lecco
This hike to Lecco was organized internally through our WhatsApp group and filled up from there, so this post is shared mainly as a record of the activity and to show the kind of things we organize as a community.
The participants and all practical details were already managed inside the internal chat, so this post is not meant as a new open registration.
**But to share a thought:** "Sometimes the best activities come together in a simple and spontaneous way, without too many expectations. It’s also a reminder that if people are looking for connection, friendship, and shared experiences, there are many others looking for the same, often it just starts by taking initiative and showing up." - Ellie 💛
Thanks to everyone who joined and helped make this happen!
SUPMindfulness sui Navigli di Milano
SUPMindfulness è un viaggio sull’acqua e dentro di te. Scopri il modo più semplice e naturale per avvicinarti al SUP e alla mindfulness, nel cuore di Milano.
Un invito a rallentare, respirare e ritrovare equilibrio… sospesi sull’acqua.
Preparati a scoprire Milano da una nuova prospettiva e ritrovare il tuo benessere anche in città.
**Orario** 9.30 - 12.00
**⏱ Durata:** 2h30
**👥 Posti:** max 11
**📍 Ritrovo:** Associazione Nazionale Marinai d’Italia,
viale Gorizia 9B (Darsena)
**✅ Livello:** adatto anche alla prima volta in SUP
**Come si svolge SUPMindfulness sui Navigli di Milano**
**1) Lezione introduttiva di SUP (sicurezza + tecnica base)**
Fondamentale se è la tua prima volta, utile anche se vuoi perfezionare postura e pagaiata. Useremo tavole ampie e stabili: imparare sarà più semplice di quanto immagini.
**2) Mindful Tour: meditazione in movimento**
Dalla Darsena al Naviglio Grande vivremo una pagaiata in SUP a ritmo lento, guidata e adatta anche ai principianti che per la prima volta salgono sulla tavola.
**3) Meditazione guidata + tisana finale**
Al rientro in Darsena uniremo i SUP e ci prenderemo un tempo per una meditazione seduti sulla tavola.
Chiuderemo l’esperienza con una tisana da sorseggiare sull’acqua.
**SUPMindfulness è uno spazio Digital Detox**
Durante l’esperienza mettiamo via lo smartphone, per rigenerarci e vivere davvero il momento: potrai lasciarlo in un locale custodito.
Foto e video ricordo li realizzo io, così tu puoi restare presente
**Cosa è incluso**
* SUP, pagaia, giubbotto di salvataggio
* Lezione SUP (per principianti e per chi vuole un ripasso tecnico, con correzioni su postura e pagaiata)
**Abbigliamento consigliato**
Non serve abbigliamento tecnico. In questa stagione è consigliato abbigliamento sportivo comodo (es. tuta/leggings, felpa, giacca antivento, cappellino).
Ai piedi: calzari in neoprene o scarpe da scoglio; se preferisci, anche a piedi nudi.
**Cosa portare (necessario)**
* Un cambio completo
* Asciugamano
* Cordino per occhiali (da vista o da sole, se li usi)
**Dove ci troviamo**
Il ritrovo è alla storica Associazione Nazionale Marinai d’Italia in Viale Gorizia 9B a Milano. Qui potrai cambiarti con calma e lasciare vestiti, borse e zaini in un locale custodito.
**Condizioni meteo**
L’uscita si svolgerà solo in condizioni meteo favorevoli. In caso di pioggia, verrà rimandata.

Fun & easy way to play more tennis (read event description)
We’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches.
These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun!
Also, if you’re looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you aren’t already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what we’re all about and sign up:
https://www.playyourcourt.com/tennis-community/columbus-oh/meetup/
If you love tennis, we’d love to have you! Be sure and watch the quick video that explains how everything works.
Happy hitting!

BASEBALL IS BACK!! Clippers' Home Saturday Opener!!! ⚾ 🧢 🌭 🎆 🧨 🎇 🗽 🦅 🇺🇸
**Summary**
Celebrate America's 250th year and the [Columbus Clippers'](https://www.milb.com/columbus) 50th season by watching [Franklin County's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus_Clippers) best team play the [best game in the world](https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/babe_ruth_140116) at [one of the ten best](https://www.dispatch.com/story/sports/minors/2025/03/26/huntington-park-voted-top-10-minor-league-ballparks-usa-today-10best-awards/82656048007/) baseball stadiums in the United States in their 2026 home Saturday opener!
The first pitch is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. The gates always open an hour before the scheduled first pitch. I'm usually at the ballpark a half an hour before the scheduled first pitch. Clippers' games usually last around two and a half hours.
Being a few minutes early will help us secure good seats.
**Parking**
I personally always like to park in the [McConnell Garage](https://www.google.com/maps/place/McConnell+Garage/@39.9685114,-83.0103938,17z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388f24145462d1:0x6238c0f0c851ab70!8m2!3d39.9692957!4d-83.0081175!16s%2Fg%2F1jkw6y27y?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTExNi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). If nothing else is going on in the area, this should be $7. However, I've also seen it be as high as $22. I can't say for certain what it will be for this game, but once I know, I will post in the comments.
Alternately, there are other lots in the area you can try which will probably be a few dollars cheaper. [Here is a map](https://img.mlbstatic.com/milb-images/image/upload/q_auto/milb/ernng44ya2xkr4wbheql) of all the garages and lots surrounding the stadium. Keep in mind that many of these are outdoor lots and your car will be out in the elements.
If you decide to look for a different lot, I would mildly recommend either the Buggyworks Lot or the Broadbelt Lot, but I have never parked in either of these myself. Although it won't apply for this game, keep in mind that street parking is also free citywide in Columbus on [Sundays and holidays](https://www.columbus.gov/files/sharedassets/city/v/1/public-service/right-of-way-permit/on-street-parking-out-of-service-policy-and-procedure-final-8.15.2022-signed.pdf).
**Where We'll Be**
Here is a [map of the ballpark](https://img.mlbstatic.com/milb-images/image/upload/milb/qkqohbqjgtx5uwo6zkgn.pdf).
We'll be sitting on Level 3 of the [Left Field Building](https://www.milb.com/columbus/ballpark/huntington-park) (aka the "AEP Power Pavilion"), which features a 110 foot bar with six open patios overlooking the field. This area is covered and will be out of any sun or rain that may transpire.
If you enter the park through the Center Field Entrance (which is at the intersection of Nationwide Blvd. and Neil Ave.), there will be a door to your immediate right after you enter that leads to a staircase up into the Tower.
This door is not well-marked, and if you've never been to Huntington Park before, you may wonder if you're actually allowed to go in and up the stairs. Yes, you are.
We'll be on the Tower's "Level 3". I have uploaded to the Photos section of this event page, below, a picture of the sign you want look for after you ascend the stairs, so you'll know you're on the correct floor.
**Tickets**
Do not buy your tickets ahead of time. They will literally be twice as expensive if you buy them on Ticketmaster.
Instead, go to the ticket window near the Center Field Entrance. Buy a *Standing Room Only* ticket (don't worry, you won't be standing), which will cost you a flat $8 with no other taxes or fees.
These tickets never sell out, and this is the cheapest way to get into the park.
**Carry-Ins**
Per the team's [website](https://www.milb.com/columbus/ballpark/a-z-guide): "Soft-sided coolers are permitted in the general seating area [which is where we'll be], but not hard-sided coolers; also no alcohol, glass bottles, or cans will be permitted. SMALL bags or backpacks of food items and beverages in plastic bottles are ok. Reusable water bottles are permitted, but must be empty upon arrival. Diaper bags are allowed."
I always bring a disposable plastic bottle of water and refill it as I need at the park. Bottled water at the game is something like 4 or 5 dollars. So if you want a bottle of water, I recommend bringing your own bottle instead of buying it at the park.
**Food & Drink**
The area we'll be in has burgers, hot dogs, salads, soft pretzels, ice cream, and other sorts of things you would expect at a baseball game. I've posted pics of the menu in the Photos section, below.
The burger and fries are $14 plus tax, and they're not bad. (This is what I usually get.) The beer is *really* overpriced. It's like $9, or $20 for a pitcher. If there's some people to help me drink it, though, I'll buy a pitcher of Michelob Ultra.
While we'll be on the penultimate floor of the Tower, the top floor (which has a great view, but is fully exposed to the elements) has a [Dirty Frank's](https://dirtyfranks.com/) hot dog stand. I've never gotten anything from there, though I've been told it's good.
The Donatos pizza stand is also a very short walk away from where we'll be. I love Donatos, but the pizza is so expensive at the ballpark. It's like $9 for a personal-sized pepperoni. It is good, though.

Let's (watch them) play ball!
