## 💔 Heartbreak / Divorce Recovery Group (Bilingual / Bilingüe) Welcome to your Heartbreak/Divorce Recovery Group. We typically have 30 to 50+ participants per meeting, and you are not required to speak unless you feel ready. That said, we do ask that you listen to the opening remarks, which include a short talk and directions on where to access our free website and resource hub. Bienvenido a tu Grupo de Apoyo para Desamor y Divorcio (bilingüe). Normalmente contamos con 30 a 50+ participantes por reunión, y no estás obligado a hablar hasta que te sientas listo. Solo pedimos que escuches los comentarios iniciales, donde compartimos una breve charla y cómo acceder a nuestros recursos gratuitos. *** 💔 This group is for anyone with a broken heart. While many of our members are going through divorce, separation, or the end of a long-term relationship, you do not have to be going through a divorce to join us. If your heart is broken for any reason—loss, betrayal, confusion, or emotional exhaustion—you are welcome here. This is a place for healing, connection, and hope. 💔 Este grupo es para cualquier persona con el corazón roto. Aunque muchos de nuestros miembros están atravesando un divorcio, separación o el fin de una relación, no es necesario estar divorciándose para unirte. Si tu corazón está roto por cualquier motivo—pérdida, traición, confusión o agotamiento emocional—eres bienvenido aquí. Este es un espacio de sanación, conexión y esperanza. *** 🧭 If you are facing the end of a relationship... Whether you’re navigating a divorce, a difficult separation, or feel your relationship may be heading in that direction, you’ve come to the right place. These meetings offer a powerful kind of support that traditional friendships and family circles often can’t provide. By hearing from others who are walking a similar path, you’ll gain clarity, perspective, and strength. Over time, the chaos begins to make sense and the pain becomes more manageable. 🧭 Si estás enfrentando el final de una relación... Ya sea que estés atravesando un divorcio, una separación difícil o sientas que tu relación va en esa dirección, estás en el lugar correcto. Estas reuniones ofrecen un tipo de apoyo que muchas veces amigos y familiares no pueden brindar. Al escuchar a otros en un camino similar, encontrarás claridad, perspectiva y fortaleza. Poco a poco, la confusión disminuye y el dolor se vuelve más manejable. *** 🤝 What you can expect from this group / Qué puedes esperar: • Support – you are NOT alone / Apoyo – no estás solo • Friendship across all backgrounds / Amistad entre todas las edades y culturas • Good times with great people / Buenos momentos con gente increíble • Practical advice and shared wisdom / Consejos prácticos y experiencias reales • Resources – books, therapists, attorneys, and more / Recursos – libros, terapeutas, abogados y más • Meaningful conversation / Conversaciones significativas Our meetings are held **Thursday nights from 8:00–9:30 PM Eastern**, online and open worldwide, with attendees from across the U.S. and other countries. There is no fee to attend. You are welcome to join at any time and stay as long as you need. We are not affiliated with any specific organization, and all belief systems and backgrounds are welcome.

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!

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
