Apr.10-13 Plitvice Lakes & Waterfalls NP in Croatia- UNESCO's World Heritage
**Join us on a unique trip, suitable for everyone, to see one of UNESCO's World Heritage National Parks.**
**You may see the reviews [here](https://www.meetup.com/AAA-London-Group/events/91199492/)**
[Photos are here](https://www.facebook.com/AAALondonGroup/photos?tab=album&album_id=1189766161223673) & below the event description.

Croatia is one of the ecologically best-preserved parts of Europe. It is a land where the hues of the sunny and warm Mediterranean happily blend with the tranquillity and freshness of the mountains and the gentle sway of the golden plains of Pannonia.
**Plitvice Lakes National Park is Croatia's first National park, established in 1949,** covering 296.85 square km of breathtaking natural splendour, **making it the largest among the country's 8 national parks, ranging in altitude from 367 m to 1279 m above sea level.**
**The Plitvice National Park is beautiful in any season.**
The park was inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1979, recognising its "outstanding natural beauty and undisturbed production of travertine (tufa) through chemical and biological action". It represents a phenomenon of karst hydrography.
The park harbours a grand collection of waterfalls, a gallery of lakes, forests and a diversity of animal life. The lakes are renowned for their distinctive colours, ranging from azure to green, grey or blue. They change constantly depending on the number of minerals or organisms in the water and the angle of sunlight.
The 16 lakes are formed by natural dams of travertine & separated into upper and lower lakes. There are 8 km of good pathways and wooden walking trails around lakes, accessible even by wheelchair and steeper, narrower mountain paths, too.
We also plan to visit the small but stunning **village of Rastoke,** which is formed by the play of nature on the place where the River Slunjčica connects with the River Korana. Nature played with the blue-green waters and spread them into many big and small waterfalls.
Rastoke is known for its 18th-century flour mills and homes, built in traditional architectural styles.

Meditacija unutarnjeg mira
Širenjem našeg unutarnjeg prostora dolazimo na sve viši nivo svjesnosti. No naše fizičko tijelo nisko izvibrirano, obilno hranjeno negativnim emocijama i mislima stvara prepreke tom širenju i naša životna energija se smanjuje…
Osvijestimo naš unutarnji prostor, očistimo blokade, omogućimo našem tijelu protok, omogućimo si unutarnji mir. Stanje unutarnjeg mira nam pomaže u lakšem suočavanju sa stresom, sposobnost donošenja boljih odluka i podiže kvalitetu života.

Prompt vs. Paintbrush
AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s?
This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

NFT AI ART Columbus
NFT's are here to stay folks!
This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more.
**PLUS**
This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.
Shut Up & Write!® East Side Columbus
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, April 22 at Streetlight Guild.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
**BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!
* **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.
What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.

How to Structure Real Estate Deals Using Seller Finance and Notes
Learn how seller finance and notes can create cash flow and new deal opportunities with 40-year investor Eddie Speed
**FREE TICKET** 🎟️ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-structure-real-estate-deals-using-seller-finance-and-notes-tickets-1984826171509?aff=cicmeetupapp
Most real estate investors only know one way to make money:
Buy the property. Fix the property. Rent it or sell it.
But there’s another side of real estate that can create cash flow, flexibility, and opportunity without only focusing on owning more property.
At this month’s Columbus Investors Club, Tiffany and Josh High are sitting down with Eddie Speed - a real estate veteran with 40 years of experience who has closed more than 50,000 note deals. He has spent decades helping investors understand how to structure deals through seller finance and notes, and how to think more like the bank instead of just the buyer.
This will be a practical conversation around a part of real estate most people have heard about, but very few truly understand.
If you’ve ever wanted to know how to create more opportunities in deals, generate cash flow in a different way, or understand how seller finance actually works in the real world, this is a night you want to be in the room for.
You’ll walk away thinking about deals differently, seeing new possibilities, and understanding how creative structuring can open doors that traditional investing alone can’t.
**What You’ll Learn**
* How seller finance works in real estate deals
* How notes fit into real estate and create opportunity
* How to structure deals more creatively
* How investors generate cash flow by focusing on the payment
* How to think like the bank instead of only focusing on owning the property
* How this strategy can create flexibility in today’s market
**Open Q&A - Ask Eddie Anything About**
* Seller finance and how to use it in real deals
* How notes work in a practical, beginner-friendly way
* Creating cash flow without only relying on rentals
* Structuring deals that others might miss
* How experienced investors think differently about financing
* Common mistakes investors make when they only focus on the property
**Why You Should Be in the Room**
Because the investors who win in the long run know how to do more than just buy houses.
They know how to structure.They know how to create terms.They know how to see opportunities other people miss.
This is the kind of conversation that can expand the way you think about real estate entirely.
Come ready to learn, ask questions, take notes, and connect with people who are serious about growing in this business.
**Reserve your free seat now - and be part of the conversation.**
