**"Man meets woman**" is *Yang Liu*'s pictogram book about gender differences that she experienced and put into a funny form for everyone to laugh and talk about. We will start out from watching her pictures (laughing) and discussing what they mean, how true they are and how much do we see them play a role in the everydays. Besides the picture book we go further discussing differences between men and women: the male and female brains, their ways of experiencing life and each other and the struggles and funny sides of dealing with these differences. Own experiences, funny examples, questions, and opinions are very welcome in this jaunty discussion! We hope to bring the two genders a little closer to each other on a lightsome evening of laughter and...surprises? The event will be held at the **underground part of Élesztő.**

🇭🇺 Magyar nyelvű túraleírás lentebb. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Welcome to Gradient Hiking ∇, where every trail brings fresh air, beautiful landscapes, and a sense of direction. Join us to stay active, enjoy nature, and share the experience with a friendly community. Come hike with us for movement, connection, and time well spent outdoors. I'm inviting you on an adventure in the Visegrád Mountains, wading through ravines, reaching peaks with wide vistas overlooking the Danube Bend, descending steep rocky ridges. This route is definitely in my top 10 within Hungary. 📅 **Meeting Time and Place** 2026-06-28 09:02 AM, Sunday, at [Dömös Templom bus stop](https://maps.app.goo.gl/VdNiUaE3acKnt41w9) 🗺️ **The Hike** [Full track here](https://turistautak.openstreetmap.hu/mentettutv-1781544823posu), through Rám-szakadék, Dobogókő, Prédikálószék, and Vadálló-kövek. This hike is not for beginners. It's long with 19 km distance, 840 m elevation difference, 7 hours duration. The scorching summer heat, a heavy backpack, and steep rocky terrain will make for a real workout, though I think anyone who is in good shape, carries enough water, and loves nature can complete it. We won't rush, and we'll take frequent breaks. We'll make a stop halfway at Dobogókő for lunch, where food and water will be available. There is an alternative option for those who don't wish to complete the whole hike. You can exit and take the bus from Dobogókő to Pomáz, resulting in a route with parameters: 8 km, 600 m elevation, 3 hours. 🚍 **Transport** Via [bus 880](https://maps.app.goo.gl/tAcHS4h1tk1PhKxZ9) from Újpest-városkapu, platform 17, at 7:35. We aim to catch the same bus back to Újpest-városkapu at 17:40. Tickets are available in the [MÁVPlusz app](https://www.mavcsoport.hu/en) or a BKK Pest county pass is also valid on this section. This is a loop hike, so travel by car is possible. [Parking is paid in the town of Dömös](https://parking-hungary.hu/en/parking/domos), but free at the [ferry station](https://maps.app.goo.gl/1r4f8hkRSZ7i6cdS7). 🎒 **Bring** \- Lots and lots of water\. At least 2 L recommended\. We can refill our bottles at Dobogókő\. \- Snacks and essentials for a whole\-day outing\. \- Good hiking shoes\. \- Sporty\, light clothes\, for summer excercise\. \- Protection against the sun \(hat\, sunscreen\)\. A maximum of 15 people can attend. Let me know if you're joining. Please also let me know by Saturday if you need to cancel. See you in nature. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Üdv a Gradiens túraközösségében ∇, ahol minden ösvény friss levegőt, gyönyörű tájakat és egy kis irányérzetet kínál. Tarts velünk, ha szeretnél aktívan kikapcsolódni, élvezni a természetet, és mindezt egy barátságos közösségben megélni. Gyere túrázni velünk mozgásért, feltöltődésért és együtt töltött időért a szabadban. Kalandra hívlak a Visegrádi-hegységbe, ahol szakadékban mászunk, a Dunakanyarra néző csúcsokra érünk fel, és vad, sziklás gerincen ereszkedünk.

Nem kezdőknek való túra. 19 km hosszú, 840 m szintkülönbség, 7 óra. A nyári hőség, vízzel teli hátizsák, és a meredek, sziklás terep nehezítésével egy rendes edzés lesz. Szerintem, aki sportos, van elég vize, és eléggé szereti a természetet, az meg tudja csinálni. Nem rohanunk, gyakran meg fogunk állni. Dobogókőn félúton ebédszünet lesz. Aki nem szeretné végigcsinálni a túrát, az kiszállhat Dobogókőnél, és buszozhat Pomáz felé. Így 8 km, 600 m emelkedés, 3 óra marad. 🚍 **Utazás** A [880-as busszal](https://maps.app.goo.gl/tAcHS4h1tk1PhKxZ9) Újpest-városkaputól, a 17. állásról, 7:35-kor.

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. NOTE: We’re switching it up this time and going with a DINNER shift on Mon, 7/6. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for DINNER from 4:30 to 6:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 4:20pm and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data** How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice. Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look. In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it. **About Our Speaker:** [Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas don’t quite line up yet.
