The purpose of this group is to meet other people suffering from bipolar disorder. To discuss symptoms (and how they effect our jobs, activities and relationships), moods, medications, natural solutions, and treatments in a group that attempts to be as neutral and positive as possible. And maybe even make some new bipolar friends. I started this group because I was dissatisfied with other groups I had joined in the past. Certain discussions at such group(s) seemed to veer off into inappropriate …

In everything, we mostly do two things: Provide a kind and thoughtful community for people who are leaving or who have left Christianity.

Be honest… how often do you Google yourself? We’re a New York-based group of personal branding and digital identity enthusiasts (yes, really) and we KNOW there are more of you out there. We’re intrigued by the evolving concept of “identity” and the fact that more and more components of our individual identities are shifting online. Social networks now represent more than second lives; they are the second halves of our selves, and increasingly taking the place of face-to-face interviews when re …

1) What we stand for: Equal rights for nonbelievers and believers We think everyone deserves the same rights and privileges regardless of whether or not they have religious beliefs Separation of government and religion At present there is way too much religion in politics and government to the detriment of both – we support their separation as prescribed in the US Constitution A sharing of the tax burden by all Tax exemptions and special privileges for religion cost US taxpayers as much as …

researchers often fail to allocate enough upfront time for surveying a problem domain and getting a sense for the current state of the field as a whole. what are the most pressing questions in the community at the moment? what are the latest publicly available data sets? how to ensure that one's work will, in fact, uniquely contribute to the literature and be useful to the community as a whole? rather than organize more meetings where researchers present their particular work in granular detail …

It's your tech communi …

At Blaboid Meetups, we use the Blaboid platform to find the best conversations about a subject among attendees.

These meetups will be hosted by Backbase. We are a portal software company focused on superior User Experience, particularly in the Financial World. Being that we are located in downtown Manhattan, one of the Financial Capitals of the world, it would make sense to get a meetup going with people interested in Bank 2.0, Bank Innovation, User Experience in Enterprises, etc... Initially I hope the meetups to be networking events but hopefully we can branch out and have some community presentations, …

We’re a discussion group with a focus on rationality, philosophy, science, technology, skepticism and ethics. We choose members who are friendly, intellectually curious, intelligent, non-religious, and rationally-minded – meaning that we’re more interested in figuring out the truth together than in proving ourselves right, or in arguing for the sake of arguing. Our members are young, almost all in the range of 20 to 35 years old. Our meetings are usually informal group discussions at someone’s a …

It is not easy for the western mind—accustomed to its Spinoza, Schopenhauer, Sartre, Hegel, Nietzsche, and so on— to determine whether yoga is, or is not a philosophy. Yoga is philosophy, because there is no doubt that, with a deep love and great reverence for the Truth, the ancient seers developed one of the most extraordinary philosophies that mankind has ever known, But, at the same time, yoga is not a philosophy, in the sense that there are no topics for debate or discussion and no engagemen …

There are many Bangladeshis/Bengalis live in five boroughs of New York City. Many of us may want to meet with others.

Let the beer and conversation flow. This group is for anybody who enjoys lively discussion about things that matter with people who respect each other (and try to like each other too!). I'll come prepared with a recent news article, quotation, poem, or passage of scripture to prompt conversation about themes like "Angels and Demons," "What's the Difference Between Justice and Vengeance?", "Racism," "The Afterlife," "Animal Rights," etc., to prompt conversation from a theological perspective. I'm …

Orders We Will Not Obey “The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army” – Gen. George Washington, to his troo …
