First appearing in a hieroglyphic inscription of Ramesses II, Libya – part of the Maghreb region – is **one of the Africa’s largest nations** with a landscape that is a true feast for the senses. Home to a stunning stretch of Mediterranean coastline, pristine beaches and azure waters, Libya was also once home to great ancient civilisations of the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans. Its historical legacy offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, and one of this country’s crown jewels is the UNESCO World Heritage site of Leptis Magna. Once a bustling Roman city of the Carthaginian Empire lining the Mediterranean coast, its grand arches, amphitheatres, and column-lined streets will take you on an immersive journey through time as you meander some of the best-preserved, and most impressive, ancient ruins in the world. As captivating for history buffs as it is for explorers, Leptis Magna is distinguished for being the most famous Roman city in Africa. Yet that’s only the start of the treasures this North African gem has to offer the most curious of explorers. With a landscape that is 90 percent desert, Libya’s raw nature brings with it an unforgettable adventure across the Saharan wilderness, curated to the rhythm of desert vibes as we journey to the ‘pearl of the desert’. Once inhabited by indigenous Berbers and Tuaregs, the oasis city, and UNESCO World Heritage Site, of Ghadames is a true sanctuary in the heart of Libya’s wilderness. A trading city unique for its charm, character, and self-sustaining agricultural practices, Ghadames’ architecture demonstrates a curious blend of Islamic and Berber styles, resulting in an aesthetic and atmospheric beauty unique to this region with its crowded network of whitewashed houses and covered streets. Distinguished for being one of the oldest cities in the pre-Saharan region with varying ethnic groups living in separate quarters, Ghadames brings with it the captivating aura of multicultural diversity, historical and cultural significance hard to find elsewhere. And with captivating experiences woven together by the warm hospitality of the locals, this adventure will leave a lasting impression on your mind, your heart, and your taste buds; bringing you home with unforgettably beautiful memories infused with flavours of an exquisite cuisine that runs as deep in composition, and texture, as Libya’s roots. **Let’s go!** **DAY 1// HELLO TRIPOLI!** Welcome to Libya’s capital! After clearing the airport, we will head straight to an exploration of modern Tripoli taking in key sites including Algeria Square with its imposing mosque converted to a cathedral, Martyrs Square, and the hub of Tripoli. **DAY 2// LEPTIS MAGNA** A truly spectacular tantalising feast fit for history buffs and explorers alike, Leptis Magna is home to the triumphal Arch of Septimus Severus, the Hadrianic Baths complex, the Palaestra (athletic ground), the Nymphaeum (Temple of Nymphs), the huge Imperial Forum, the Basilica, the Arches of Tiberius and Trajan, and a spectacular amphitheatre set against a gorgeous backdrop of Mediterranean Sea, the Sanctuary of the Divine Emperors, and the Market with unique kiosks which, at the time of construction, were a groundbreaking design in the Roman world. **DAY 3// QASR AL-HAJ – YEFREN** Today, we journey into the Berber heartland of the Jabal Nafusa. Our first stop will be at Qasr al-Haj to visit the most beautiful Berber granary qasr (castle) in Libya, seeing for ourselves why explorer Dan Cruickshank chose this imposing 13th Century circular fortress as one of ''The World’s 80 Greatest Treasures''. **DAY 4// GHADAMES** Renowned for its distinctive architecture, we visit the various small squares, the old mosque, and a madrasa (Quranic school), see the fruit and vegetable gardens and explore the ancient irrigation system. And that’s all before lunch in a beautifully decorated traditional house where we will sit on the floor and eat with our hands from communal dishes. **DAY 5// KABOW – TORMISA** Today we leave Ghadames, heading back into the Jabel Nafusa to visit another ancient qasr at Kabow before driving to the abandoned village of Tormisa with its stunning cliff top views. From here we continue to Gharyan to visit a troglodyte house and the pottery stalls for which the town is famous. Tonight, we sleep in Tripoli. **DAY 6// DEPARTURE** **Grade:** Easy, available to everyone. **Accommodation and meals:** 3-4 star hotels, double sharing. Meals excluded (one meal D3 & D4 included due to logistics). **Cost:** **7450 AED excl. flights until DEC 18.** **Specifically Excluded:** flights via ISTANBUL, restaurant meals (one meal D3 & D4 included). **Flights:** Turkish approx. AED 3000. **Visa:** **E-visa included** in trip budget.

Session Abstract **Data on Fire: A Hands-On Intro to Spark in Fabric** Curious about Apache Spark but not sure where to start? This hands-on session introduces you to Spark in Microsoft Fabric Notebooks—a powerful and accessible way to process and analyze big data using familiar tools in the Microsoft ecosystem. We’ll break down key Spark concepts like distributed computing, DataFrames, and lazy evaluation, then show how they come to life inside Fabric’s notebook experience. You’ll see practical demos that cover loading, transforming, and analyzing large datasets—while leveraging Fabric’s modern data stack, including OneLake, Dataflows, and Pipelines. You’ll also learn how to choose between Spark and pure Python notebooks in Fabric, based on execution needs, data integration, and use case fit. Whether you're a SQL pro, BI developer, or data engineer, this session will give you the tools and confidence to start using Spark in your own projects—no cluster management required. \*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.

Join us for a casual chat over coffee & tea at Grandview Grind! Come out and meet some new people, enjoy your favorite drink, and make some new friends!

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM). Some schedule other shifts at their convenience. You may try this out with less fuss by following a "Fast track" or go through the normal process. Fast track • Arrange a time to shadow a COUNT volunteer. Call Dave Nohle at 614-268-9558 (cell). • Show up and try it out. • Complete application, etc. later. Normal process • Complete an online application (http://rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer/). • Attend orientation in advance. • At orientation you will complete forms agreeing to keep family/patient info private and allowing a background check and tour the facility. • Complete one training shift. Daily shifts are: morning 9 AM - 1 PM, afternoon 1 - 5 PM and evening 5 - 9 PM. • Schedule shifts online using the on the RMH scheduling system (http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/?FROM=32895). The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides housing and meals for families with sick children. The Columbus RMH is the largest in the world with 137 rooms. COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014. Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison.

$5 MOVIE NIGHT! With avatar fire and Ash, James Cameron takes audiences back to Pandora in an immersive new adventure with marine turned Navi leader Jake Sully. Navi Warrior, Naytiri and the Solly family. The film has a screenplay by James Cameron and Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. We will see the 6 PM showing and I will post my seat so that we can sit together. We can grab something to eat after if people want and chat to round out the experience. This is a MUST SEE MOVIE for me. I hope you feel the same. I will CANCEL if there are less than 5 RSVPs on the movie date.
