Ognuno porterà il cibo da cucinare sul posto e le proprie bevande.** ### Botanismi *Botanismi* è un piccolo viaggio nel mondo vegetale, animato dal tentativo di connettere le nostre umane esperienze a tutto il verde che ci circonda e di cui spesso ci dimentichiamo, persi nelle nostre complicate vite di animali. Micro racconti sonori che, tra narrazione vera e propria e pillole di nozioni scientifiche, ti trasporteranno in un mondo pieno di clorofilla. Mettiti le cuffie, chiudi gli occhi e rilassati. ***Botanismi*** Scritto, registrato e prodotto da **Giacomo Bagni** e **Veronica Lugaro** Contenuti scientifici a cura di **Sole Calbi** Prodotto con il supporto di **Alle Ortiche** Sound design a cura di **Giacomo Bagni** e **Veronica Lugaro** Intro/outro: Jumbel by **Blue Dot Sessions** **Cosa è P.A.Z. Podcast Ascolti Zurigo?** Il miglior modo per conoscere un podcast è il passaparola. Solitamente questo viaggia attraverso i social media. P.A.Z., acrononimo che sta per Podcast Ascolti Zurigo nasce per scoprire cose nuove da ascoltare e avere la possibilità di parlarne con altri, in persona. Come un bookclub, ma per i podcast. **FAQ** **Posso venire anche se non ho ascoltato tutto il podcast?** Certo, puoi venire anche se non hai sentito tutto il podcast (ma se lo hai ascoltato è meglio). **Il podcast da ascoltare è sempre in italiano?** Sì, al momento P.A.Z. si vuole concentrare sui podcast di lingua italiana e chiunque parli italiano è il/la benvenuto/a. **Mi piace ma non riesco a esserci, cosa posso fare?** Unisciti a questo gruppo, oppure alla community su [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DBWV6im8RDe98hrP5ehH60), ci sarà modo per aggiornarti sui prossimi appuntamenti. ***English Version*** Like a book club, but for podcasts. Every month, we meet to discuss a podcast we’ve listened to, sharing thoughts, opinions, and recommendations for future listens.

Everyone is welcome to bring their own food to cook and drinks to share.** ***Botanismi*** *Botanismi* is a small journey into the plant world, driven by the desire to connect our human experiences to all the green that surrounds us — and that we so often forget about, lost as we are in our complicated lives as animals. Bite-sized sonic stories that blend genuine storytelling with nuggets of scientific knowledge, transporting you into a world full of chlorophyll. Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and relax. ***Botanismi*** Written, recorded and produced by **Giacomo Bagni** and **Veronica Lugaro** Scientific content by **Sole Calbi** Produced with the support of **Alle Ortiche** Sound design by **Giacomo Bagni** and **Veronica Lugaro** Intro/outro: Jumbel by **Blue Dot Sessions** **What is P.A.Z. – Podcast Ascolti Zurigo?** The best way to discover a great podcast is through word of mouth.

**About** Would your embedded product benefit from application logic updates that do not require changes to the full firmware? Or a mechanism for your customers to tweak and extend the functionality of the product? Using their favourite language(s), without proprietary tooling? And all that while your product stays secure, no matter how creative said customers get? WebAssembly (abbreviated Wasm) might be exactly what you are looking for. Join us this evening to learn about the state of the art of running WebAssembly on MCUs, and to experience a practical example of a real world, production grade embedded code base targeting WebAssembly and running in a browser. Merging the two approaches is then left to the visitors as a take-home exercise. **Presentations** 1. 15’: Welcome (Urs/Reto and SCS) 2. 40’: Browser technology on the MCU? Introduction to WebAssembly, overview of existing embedded runtimes, use cases, discussion. (Pascal Mainini) 3. 30’: Unlocking Bluetooth Connectivity in Browsers: From Sensors to Audio (Matthias Ringwald) Presentations start at 19:00. Afterwards we’ll have plenty of time to discuss and socialize. **About the speakers** * [Pascal Mainini](https://mainini.ch/) is a teacher and researcher at [Berner Fachhochschule](https://www.bfh.ch/en/about-bfh/people/kkmsprgzbqc2/), focussing on the security of embedded systems and the Internet of Things. * [Matthias Ringwald](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthiasringwald/) is a Co-Founder of [BlueKitchen GmbH](https://bluekitchen-gmbh.com/) and develops their Bluetooth stack. He knows everything about Bluetooth.

# Schritt für Schritt zurück zu dir ## Meditative Coaching-Wanderung auf den Uetliberg Zwischen Alltag, Verantwortung und ständigem Funktionieren verlieren wir Frauen oft die Verbindung zu uns selbst. Diese besondere Coaching-Wanderung lädt dich ein, bewusst langsamer zu werden, durchzuatmen und wieder bei dir anzukommen. Gemeinsam gehen wir vom Triemli auf den Uetliberg – begleitet von achtsamen Coaching-Impulsen, stillen Gehphasen und Momenten der Reflexion. Die Natur wird dabei zu einem Raum für Klarheit, Ruhe und neue Perspektiven. Schritt für Schritt darfst du dich deinem persönlichen Thema nähern – ganz ohne Druck, ohne etwas leisten zu müssen und in deinem eigenen Tempo. Vielleicht stehst du gerade vor einer Entscheidung. Vielleicht spürst du, dass sich etwas verändern darf. Oder vielleicht wünschst du dir einfach einen Moment nur für dich. Diese Wanderung schenkt dir Raum, um wieder klarer zu hören, was deine innere Stimme dir eigentlich sagen möchte. Am Ende erwartet dich nicht nur die wunderschöne Aussicht über Zürich und die Alpen – sondern vor allem mehr Verbindung zu dir selbst. *** ## Was dich erwartet ✨ Achtsame Bewegung in der Natur ✨ Coaching-Impulse zur Selbstreflexion ✨ Zeit für dich und deine Gedanken ✨ Austausch in einer kleinen, bewussten Gruppe ✨ Neue Klarheit und innere Ruhe *** ## Ziel der Wanderung * mehr Klarheit über ein persönliches Thema gewinnen * Abstand vom Alltag und inneren Druck finden * neue Perspektiven entwickeln * wieder bewusster mit dir selbst verbunden sein * einen konkreten nächsten Schritt für dich mitnehmen *** ## Ablauf & Key Facts 📍 Strecke: Triemli → Uetliberg ⏰ Dauer: ca. 2,5 Stunden 🌿 Format: Geführte Coaching-Wanderung mit Geh- und Reflexionsphasen 💗 Für Frauen geeignet – keine Coaching-Erfahrung notwendig 🥾 Voraussetzung: normale Grundkondition 💰 Kosten: CHF 25.– pro Person Anmeldung unter: [www.passionandfocus.ch](http://www.passionandfocus.ch/) *** ## Für wen ist der Clarity Walk geeignet? Für Frauen, die sich bewusst Zeit für sich selbst schenken möchten. Für Frauen, die spüren, dass ein Thema in ihrem Leben Aufmerksamkeit braucht. Und für alle, die sich nach mehr innerer Ruhe, Orientierung und echter Verbindung mit sich selbst sehnen.

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
