Was wäre, wenn du den Markt lesen könntest, ohne jemals einen Kerzenchart zu analysieren? Wir zeigen ein innovatives Analyse-Framework **(live und an echten Beispielen, z.B. Gold**) , das Signale für Trendwenden direkt aus dem Tick-Flow generiert. Einblicke in ein System, das Multitimeframe-Trading radikal vereinfacht und den Fokus zurück auf die nackten Marktdaten lenkt. *Vorteile:* *1\. Keine Chartanalyse nötig* *2\. Objektive Signale* *3\. Flexibel für Daytrading & Swingtrading* *4\. sowohl für Anfänger \(keine Charttechnik nötig\) als auch für Profis \(wegen des Tickdaten\-Ansatzes\) geeignet\!*

Get ready for the **Superbooth Special** May iteration of our monthly meetup! With the Superbooth trade show bringing many audio enthusiasts and professionals to Berlin, we're seizing the opportunity to host a larger gathering. This month, we're moving to a bigger venue, **ForumFactory**, to accommodate up to 200 attendees, with a special focus on networking and community connection. We have an exciting line-up featuring two talks from industry experts: * **Juanpe Bolívar - CTO at BRONZE** (long talk) In this talk we'll learn about persistence (immutable) data-structures and how they can be used to implement novel software architectures that make our software more efficient and responsive, but also easier to understand and modify. We will also how to efficiently persist these data structures across sessions, a novel technique in Immer, unseen in other implementations, that open the door to all new use-cases. We will also briefly show the Bronze Composer, a complex piece audio software that leverages these techniques. * **Tobias Lønnerød Madsen -** [moonbase.sh](https://moonbase.sh/) (short talk) Commercialising Audio Plugins - Going From Development to Sales and Beyond Following the talks, there will be ample time dedicated to networking. Come meet other local (and visiting!) audio nerds and C/C++ programmers. Network or talk shop – all levels of skill are welcome in the group. **Food & Drinks:** Free pizza will be provided as usual! Please note: for this special event, **drinks will not be complimentary**. However, there will be a bar at the venue where you can purchase beverages. Doors open at 6 pm, talks will start at 6.30 pm. We're looking forward to seeing many familiar and new faces for this special Superbooth edition!

Join us on Wednesdays at 19:00 for **The Greatest Story**, a Bible study series that explores the big story of Scripture, tracing God’s promises to Israel and their fulfillment in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, while helping participants connect that story with their own lives.

**This is 100% non-profit. The 15€ sign up fee for everyone is only to minimize last-minute cancellations. The total sum goes to a bar-tap that everyone can use to order drinks until the amount is used up. ‼️NO REFUNDS‼️** **‼️Please don't just show up without RSVPing here and paying the 15€. We have a separate room that has limited capacity and a specific drinks agreement with the bar - so splitting up the bill won't become a mess.‼️** **Small update on how your money get's used from May 2024 onwards:** As of this month, meetup.com has started charging me 34€ instead of 16€ per month. I've decided to distribute this fee evenly among all us participants every month. Example: In the last 12 meetups, the average number of attendees was 17. With 17 attendees I would effectively collect 230€ (after fees). I would now substract 34€ leaving us with 196€ that go to the bar. 15% get's tipped to the wait staff, in this case 30€, leaving us with 166€ effectively to order drinks. Hope everyone is cool with this system. :) Website: https://www.pberg-engineers.me WhatsApp groups: Please come and join us on WhatsApp! \- "PBerg Engineers \- NEWS" \- Only organizers can post announcements or polls \-\> https://chat\.whatsapp\.com/EqMJMmlCZO6LOOfAoG4yTj \- "PBerg Engineers \- DISCUSS" \- Everyone can post \-\> https://chat\.whatsapp\.com/LPuo76J83gF6IZMLUcM4u2 Please join those groups now if you're interested. :) All skill/education-levels welcome! :) Lightning Talks: \- TBD We'll also have a brief "Jobs: Lost & Found section". **Location:** From the street you will have to enter the right hand Cafe Chagall (yes, there are 2).

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in 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 Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.
