From the futuristic domes of North Greenwich, where the river Thames bends and the popcorn smells are strongest, we’re gathering for an epic screening of **Time Hoppers: The Silk Road**. 🎬 **THE MISSION:** 🎞️ **Film:** Time Hoppers: The Silk Road (rated PG) ⏳ **Runtime:** 1 hour 43 mins 📍 **Location:** Cineworld London - The O2 (Greenwich) 🚇 **Nearest Tube Station**: North Greenwich (Jubilee line) ⌚ **The Meet:** 4:45pm (Outside the cinema entrance) 🎬 **Film Starts:** 5:00pm (Sharp) ✊ **Note:** Active Muslims is equally about focusing on the actual activity. In this case, this is a **highly disciplined cinematic operation**, not a nap in a dark room. It is advised to approach this event with the intention of peak relaxation and the purpose of extreme snack consumption. We expect a "paced" viewing—stay alert for the plot twists and keep the popcorn-to-mouth ratio consistent. ### 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 FAMILY & JUNIOR RECRUITS This event is specifically designed for the next generation! We want to see the **kids, nephews, and nieces** out in full force. Whether they are future time travelers or just there for the Slushies, bring them along to join the crew. ### 🎟️ TICKETS & LOGISTICS No group discounts this time **Price: £5.99 per person.** **[Booking: Please purchase your tickets for the 5:00pm](https://experience.cineworld.co.uk/select-tickets?sitecode=077&site=077&id=281082&lang=en)** showing on Friday, 17th April \**via the Cineworld website/app. Group Booking:* There is no group discount but we can try to ensure we have tickets in the event they may sell out before the date by ordering earlier. I can book earlier if you want me to book for you but it’s virtually impossible to ensure we can all sit in the same block! ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🚻**Facilities**: On-site restrooms available in the O2. 🕋 **Prayer**: There is a multi-faith prayer room located opposite the family room on Level 2 should you want to pray before/after the film (asr: 16:52 maghbrib: 20:05). 🎒 **What to bring:** Your "serious" cinema face, a fully charged phone, and enough energy to keep up with the kids. 🍉 **Food**: Cineworld have a strict no externally purchased hot food policy. Technically, you can bring your own snacks (although I would keep it subtle). 🥾 **Footwear:** Hiking boots are *not* recommended (unless you really want to), but comfy socks for those recliner seats are a win. ⛑️ **Disclaimer:** You are solely responsible for your own safety (and your kids' popcorn intake). You are also responsible for your belongings at all times. 🌐 **[@Active.Muslims](https://www.instagram.com/active.muslims) / Active Mindset**

If you love anime & manga then please join us for our weekly meetups, where we basically just sit, chat and read anime & manga! We usually sit in the back of the pub. If the weather is nice we may sit outside at the back of the pub, or even outside on the downstairs floor. In this meetup, you can BYOM (bring your own manga) or read one from the selection we will bring. See this as an opportunity to discover, recommend or simply enjoy Japanese comics & anime with like-minded people! Note: This is not a book club. Also, the TCR bar is kind enough to allow us to use their space to host this meetup, and has asked if possible for attendees to support the venue by purchasing a drink or food while you're there. Please don't bring your own food or drink to consume at the venue, as the venue does not allow this!

Below is the WhatsApp group for this event. You need to join it to find out where we are meeting. [https://chat.whatsapp.com/KrkGkyWNz4J3vkbKGk7YYP?mode=gi_t](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KrkGkyWNz4J3vkbKGk7YYP?mode=gi_t) **Solve the Mystery: The Riddle of the Sphinx** Are you ready to look at history through a different lens? Join us for an immersive exploration of the world’s most famous enigma: **The Riddle of the Sphinx.** This isn't just a dusty history lesson. We’re heading into the heart of the **British Museum** to decode ancient artefacts and uncover the hidden layers of meaning that most visitors walk right past. **Why this matters to your path** In the Cochranian and Regency traditions of Wicca—inspired by the teachings of Robert Cochrane—the Sphinx isn’t just a statue; it’s a key. We will explore: * **The Sphinx's Secrets:** How the riddle informs modern Wiccan practice. * **The Cochranian Tradition:** Bridging the gap between ancient myth and living magic. *** **Is this for me ?** Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just curious about the Craft, you're welcome! * **No Prerequisites:** This "knot" (lesson) is part of our introductory series, but it stands perfectly well on its own. * **New Members Welcome:** You don't need to have attended previous sessions to dive into this one. Because we are hosting this within the British Museum, **spaces are strictly limited.** To ensure a high-quality experience for everyone, we have to stick to a firm capacity. **How to Secure Your Spot:** 1. **Register via the App:** All our "knots" and curriculum materials are managed there. 2. **Join the WhatsApp Group:** This is our primary hub for logistics. If the first session fills up, we will coordinate a second date exclusively through this group. 3. **The Link:** Keep an eye on this space—the joining link will be posted here before the event.

Join other experienced and aspiring agile coaches and professionals to: * develop and practice your coaching skills in a peer-to-peer environment * share current successes and challenges in your work environment and get support from each other * learn from each other, build better relationships and experiment with new ideas ***NOTE:*** Pre-registration is required for this event. **Please arrive 10 minutes early** to check in at the security desk.

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. **YouTube Link** TBD
