Our sessions go for one hour and in this time we have guided meditations, share information on how to stay in balance throughout the day, information on the 7 chakras along the spine and how to know and improve their condition. We finish off with time to ask questions and have a chat with like-minded people. There is no need to bring anything and chairs are available for your comfort. We are located in Melville Hall within the Homebush West Community Centre, which has plenty of parking. Classes are always free. If you have any questions, please call Jenny on 0425324265.

Maher Writing automated tests for a React Native mobile application is notoriously difficult. Mobile components display on the page, but are not fully loaded. Lengthy animations and slow-loading components take a while to finish. Timing issues cause your automated tests to error out giving the appearance of flaky tests. T.J. Maher will be sharing his experience tackling these problems using the open-source mobile testing framework, Wix's Detox, designed specifically for testing React Native applications. \* Setting up a mobile test automation framework. \* Vibe-coding a toy React Mobile Login page app to test against ( [tinyurl.com/detox-demo](https://tinyurl.com/detox-demo) ). \* How to reduce timing issues and flakiness in automated tests. \* Refactoring code into tests, page objects & base pages, separating out credentials and message strings for easier maintainability. \* Setting up automated tests in CI / CD for iOS simulators and Android emulators with GitHub Action Workflows. \* How developers can test their code before they push it into the main branch. About T. J. Maher: A former organizer of the now defunct Ministry of Testing - Boston, Thomas (T.J.) Maher is a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) based in the Boston/South Shore area of Massachusetts, with a decade of experience building web + mobile test automation frameworks.
