If all else fails, try Dramamine or another brand of motion sickness medicine.

Exeter Centurions are a rugby league team based in Exeter, Devon. They play in the South West Rugby League.

History

Exeter Centurions were formed by Basingstoke Beasts founder Joe Catcheside.

They joined the newly formed South West Division of the Rugby League Conference in 2007. In their first two seasons, Exeter only won one match.. Exeter co-hosted the 2009 South West Nines competition and reached the final before losing to Exeter University at Duckes Meadow. In the regular season, the club's performance improved significantly, finishing in third in the league and reaching the SW Cup Final, which they lost against East Devon Eagles at Plymouth Albion's Brickfields ground.

The club continued to improve in 2010, opening with a record 5 game winning sequence before falling to a last gasp defeat in the cup quarter- final against Devon Sharks in Torquay. The club lost only two league fixtures, but again missed out on the Grand Final after a narrow defeat to the Eagles. Centurions went on to represent the South West Conference in the National competition, losing a close game against Neath Port Talbot Steelers. Once again, Centurions lost the South West Nines final to the Exeter University team. 2011 proved a disappointing season, after the loss of influential players Brent Ryan and Alex Stevens. The club suffered several narrow defeats, including an extra-time loss in the cup semi-final against Plymouth Titans, and finished only sixth in the league, is worst performance for three years.

In 2012, the club is underwent a relaunch. It secured the rights to wear the city crest of Exeter on its shirts, and branding itself 'The Pride of the City'. Despite a rather erratic league record, the club enjoyed its greatest triumph to date in the South West Cup. After an unexpected victory in the semi final against 2011 League Champions, Somerset Vikings, the club went on to win the South West Rugby League Cup Final, beating North Devon Raiders 34-14 at Launceston, on 22 July 2012. Dave Bargent scored three tries, with Alex Stevens, returning with dispensation from his professional contract at Featherstone Rovers. adding two, and taking the Man of the Match Award. Influential stand-off Alex Ford scored the other try, with Adam Willows kicking five goals. Captain Matt Coldrey - with Stevens, and Nathan Clark (formerly Nathan Hardy), were winners who debuted for the club in their first run-out, at the 2007 South West Nines five years earlier. Also in that original team was Cup Final Referee, Chris Symons.

The methodologies and indicators that have been proposed in the literature to measure energy poverty are quite diverse. Some are subjective approaches based on personal or third parties perceptions of affordable warmth at home; whereas others calculate objective indicators. Although these different pro- posals have already been theoretically criticized, an empirical comparative analysis that measures in a real case study the practical impact of the theoretical limitations detected for the dfferent indicators was still pending. Thus the goal of this paper is to contribute to this crucial debate by comparing critically the different approaches used to measure energy poverty in a real case (Spain), and to propose an indicator that might be able to overcome some of the major problems that affect current proposals.

Q: Why wont these find and update mongo db calls work in the right sequence? I am working on a function that takes in student data from an excel sheet and assigns the students to student-groups based on the data in the student's row.
I am having problems getting it to accumulate all the imported students, instead it only seems to write the last one or two students if I import a batch of three students.
There are three steps as I see it: I need to find the current student list for a group, then add the new student to that list, and then finally update the group list with the old students and the new students combined.
I think there must be a race error happening because the 'found students' always console logs as an empty list, so the update part isn't happening in the right sequence I believe?
Here is the first way I tried it, which gave me the undesired result described:
global.db.collection("groups").find({userId: user_id.toString(), groupNumber:parseInt(realGroupNumber)}).toArray( function (err, group) {
    if(err) {console.log(err)};
    if(group[0]) {
        //Add student to group's student list...
        group[0].students.push(NewRow[realRowNumber]);
        //Update  group with new student list...
        global.db.collection("groups").updateOne({userId: user_id.toString(), groupNumber:parseInt(realGroupNumber)}, {$set: group[0]}, {upsert: true}, function (err, group) {
            if(err) {console.log(err)};
        });
    };
});

Then I tried to use a callback function to avoid a race error, but got the same result:
function findStudentList(param, callback) {
    //Find group matching group number, user id
    global.db.collection("groups").find({userId: user_id.toString(), groupNumber:parseInt(param)}).toArray( function (err, group) {
        if(err) {console.log(err)};
        if(group[0]) {
            callback(group[0]);
        };
    });
};

function updateStudentList(oldGroupInfo) {
    newStudent = NewRow[realRowNumber]
    oldGroupInfo.students.push(newStudent)
    // db.update with new list here
    global.db.collection("groups").updateOne({userId: user_id.toString(), groupNumber:parseInt(realGroupNumber)}, {$set: oldGroupInfo}, {upsert: true}, function (err, group) {
        if(err) {console.log(err)};
    });
};

findStudentList(realGroupNumber, updateStudentList)

Any ideas what could be wrong? This is inside a for loop, being called once per new student. It acts like previous update to the student list never happened... The find call comes up with an empty student list every time through, instead of adding and accumulating students. Even though I have console logged everything and the data is going to the right place, just not updating correctly. Once again only the last student or the last two students make it in the group successfully.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Abstract: To evaluate the potential for low-speed modes to improve transit access, the EasyConnect field test will offer shared-use Segway Human Transporters(HT), electric bicycles, and bicycles linked to a Bay Area Rapid Transit District station surrounding employment centers in California. Because of safety concerns, research was conducted to understand the risks associated with these modes and potential risk factors. A review of the safety literature indicates that user error is the major cause of low-speed mode crashes, and significant risk factors are poor surface conditions and obstruction to drivers' vision. As a result, an extensive training program and carefully selected routes have been included in the field test. The regulatory and legislative history of the HT is chronicled to understand how concerns about its interaction with pedestrians have produced legislation that includes specific safety requirements. The low-speed modes used in this project will be equipped with safety devices, and participants will be required to wear helmets. The survey results of 13 HT implementation projects provide insight into potential advantages and challenges to the field test. Results of interviews and meetings with field test stakeholders are presented with a discussion of their influence on the field test design. Finally, conclusions and future project steps are discussed.

Q: Download an entire sites jpegs with wget instead of just thumbnails When I try to pull all the jpegs off of this website (http://www.zodiackillerfacts.com/gallery/) using wget:
wget -A jpg,jpeg -r http://www.zodiackillerfacts.com/gallery/

it only downloads the thumbnails. How would I be able to download the full size jpegs by using wget instead of going through all 1000 pictures one by one and clicking all of them? These pictures are all in different "albums" on the site.

A: You are going to need a script which parses the gallery pages and then uses wget. For this particular site the script can be pretty straight forward, something like this:
#!/bin/bash

wget -qO - "http://www.zodiackillerfacts.com/gallery/" | \
 egrep -o 'thumbnails\.php\?album=[0-9]+' | \
  sort -u | \
    while read gallery
    do
      wget -O "/tmp/$$" "http://www.zodiackillerfacts.com/gallery/$gallery"
      album=$(egrep -m1 -o '<title>[^<]+' /tmp/$$ | \
               sed -e 's/^<title>//' -e 's/[^a-zA-Z0-9 :-()]//g')
      mkdir "$album" || continue
      cd "$album"
      egrep -o 'src="albums/[^"]*' "/tmp/$$" | \
       sed -e 's/thumb_//' \
           -e 's!^src="!http://www.zodiackillerfacts.com/gallery/!' | \
        wget -i -
      cd ..
      rm "/tmp/$$"
    done

Here, we fetch the HTML of the first page, parse out the gallery links, fetch the HTML for each gallery, make a directory for it and fetch all the images. Not very pretty or robust, but it seems to do the job.

Pep Guardiola explains Erling Haaland's struggles in Manchester derby
Great Oriahi
Manchester City manager has revealed the reason for Erling Haaland's struggles in the match against neighbours Manchester United.
The Cityzens fell 2 – 1 to Manchester United at Old Trafford after initially holding the advantage through Jack Grealish's 60th minute goal.
Goals from Bruno Fernandes and an in-form Marcus Rashford ensured the Red Devils moved to within one-point of their neighbours.
Speaking after the match, Guardiola admitted that Haaland needed to be more effective against teams that set up with a low block. He however expressed confidence in the Norwegian's ability to adapt to their style.
Speaking to reporters Guardiola said: "At the moment we have that process because when teams are sat in their 18-yard box, it is more difficult but we have to find him a little bit more, yes. (Against United) he had enough touches but it's true that when you are looking at areas and you have to look at him. But we will do it."
Haaland sits firmly at the top of the Premier League goalscorers chart with 21 goals scored. However, the 22-year-old has failed to score in his last three games.
Manchester City host Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday as they look to close the gap on league leaders Arsenal.

In from the phenomenal @frLarousse2 @frLarousse2 from the often totally phenomenal Daily Paul!
"NOTE TO MODERATORS: I have posted the complete relevant portion of this article, as I have a close relationship with Dr. Georgi Stankov.
I will provide the link to the full article, with reservations, as there are many small minds at this "libertarian" website.
On September 3, Anthony Gucciardi and Alex Jones reported on www.infowars.com a number of disturbing red flags that have continued to give further evidence to the high level military intelligence source that initially exposed the transfer of the off-the-record nuclear warheads from Dyess Air Force base to South Carolina. This most disturbing fact was completely neglected by the MSM that ultimately failed to even investigate this incident. This is what Infowars.com website reported on 3 September:
""A high level source inside the military has now confirmed to us that Dyess Air Force base is actively moving nuclear warheads to the East Coast of the United States in a secret transfer that has no paper trail.
According to the high level military source, who has a strong record of continually being proven correct in deep military activity, the Dyess Air Force Commander authorized unknown parties to transfer the nuclear warheads to an unknown location that has been reported to be South Carolina, where the warheads will then be picked up and potentially utilized."
Many other reports of the alternative media on an impending "event" engineered by the Obama regime to cause chaos in the United States appeared in the following days. It was generally expected by myself and other insiders that, after Obama and the dark US cabal failed to instrumentalize the Syrian conflict to unleash a global war, they will seek another more devilish opportunity to begin with WW3, even if it will cause the death of millions of American citizens.
This heinous intention became crystal clear as only hours after infowars.com received this information, Senator Lindsay Graham was reported in mainstream news publications as warning of a nuclear attack in South Carolina if America does not initiate war with Syria. Alex Jones concluded three days later: "Ultimately, we may be sitting on some of the most profound (and dangerous) intelligence that we have ever come across."
...In favour of this conclusion speaks the absolute irrational connection which the war monger senator Lindsay Graham made between a potential nuclear attack on South Carolina and the necessity to start a war against Syria at a time when diplomacy prevailed in this conflict and Assad agreed to eliminate his chemical weapons of mass destruction. In other words, this criminal senator simply blackmailed the American nation in a Mafia-like style: "Either you agree to start a war with Syria or we will detonate a nuke over your heads. WW3 must come either ways"
Now this is not particularly new to all of you, as we all expected such a war and were very relieved when it could be averted due to the highly successful diplomatic incentive of Putin and Russia.
...On October 11, infowars.com website reported that "two of the top nuclear commanders within the United States have now been terminated following the exclusive high level military leak report by Alex Jones and myself (Gucciardi) regarding the secret and unsigned nuclear weapons transfer from Dyess Air Force base to South Carolina. Disturbingly, the high level suspensions from top generals within the military establishment are not the only red flags to follow the leaked report."
As it eventually came out, two more commanders were also suspended by Obama and this information was deliberately leaked by the governmental mass media AP. However, until now the MSM fear to discuss this issue, which they "fear as much as the devil the incense" (a German saying). Why?
Here is what actually happened last week as deliberately leaked by official Russian sources, which now wage a very successful medial war against the USA:
"President Barack Obama, while in a rage, ousted four of the United States top ranking military officers after they refused to detonate a nuclear device "in/near" Charleston, South Carolina this past week and, instead, exploded it off the Atlantic Coast.
According to this report, Strategic Missile Forces Command (SMF) notified both President Putin and the General Staff this past Tuesday (8 October) that at 01:58:11 GMT/UTC an atomic device was exploded in the seabed off the US Atlantic Ocean, barely 1,000 km (620 miles) from Charleston, causing a 4.5 magnitude earthquake measurement that SMF experts equate to being a 1-kiloton yield, which is equal to the power of 1,000 tons of TNT.
This report notes that SMF experts are able to differentiate an earthquake from an atomic blast in that in the former the ground starts shaking slowly as plates slide against each other, and then the seismic activity slow picks up as the ground really starts to move. In an atomic explosion scenario, however, the initial blast is extremely powerful, and the subsequent shaking of the ground grows progressively less severe as was the case with the 8 October blast.
The particular atomic device used, this report continues, was a B61-11 Nuclear Bomb Low-Yield Earth-Penetrating Nuclear Weapon, otherwise known as a "mini nuke" which was deployed by the Clinton administration in the post-Cold-War era, but had been rejected for deployment by Presidents Carter, Reagan, and Bush.
The B61-11 can penetrate and detonate below the earth's surface, creating a massive shock wave capable of destroying underground targets. In tests the bomb penetrates only 20 feet into dry earth, even when dropped from altitudes above 40,000 feet. But even this shallow penetration before detonation allows a much higher proportion of the explosion to transfer into ground shock relative to a surface burst.
Critical to note, this report says, are that many warnings to this atomic blast were given prior to October 8 …"
...By the way, please observe the independent verification of the occurrence of a
Moderate earthquake – Off East Coast Of United States on October 8, 2013
by the best independent earthquake reporting site in the world.
The official Russian report then continues on this story as follows:"

[elastalert](https://github.com/Yelp/elastalert) is a simple framework for alerting on anomalies, spikes, or other patterns of interest from data in Elasticsearch.

## TL;DR;

For ES 5.x:

```console
$ helm install stable/elastalert
```

For ES 6.x:

```console
$ helm install stable/elastalert --set writebackIndex=elastalert

# Open Dev Tools on Kibana and send the below.
# Otherwise elastalert ends up with errors like "RequestError: TransportError(400, u'search_phase_execution_exception', u'No mapping found for [alert_time] in order to sort on')"
PUT /elastalert/_mapping/elastalert
{
  "properties": {
      "alert_time": {"type": "date"}
  }
}
```

See the comment in the default `values.yaml` to know why `writebackIndex` is required for ES 6.x.

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:

```console
$ helm install --name my-release stable/elastalert
```

The command deploys elastalert on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [configuration](#configuration) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

## Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:

```console
$ helm delete my-release
```

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

R56, Where to find MED17_2N.ipo - BMW forum. Diagnostics, coding, programming, repair BMW vehicles.
I have inpa, ediabas + ncsexper v2.12 installed and seems to work fine. Had tried sp-daten from v38 to v53 but none can i find med17_2n.ipo.
My Mini is 2009 fJCW EU version.
Hello, i think you don't have correctly installed your daten. Use bmw coding tool to upgrade your daten.


People have noted that I tend to be quite upbeat about my work here (bar the odd rant or two) and that's because, on the whole, we have a lot to be upbeat about. But I ought to acknowledge that the recession is affecting us just like everybody else, especially with the news today that Contract Journal is to close, a story which Paul can probably claim to have broken.
Anyone near the construction industry knows what a beating it has taken during the credit crunch, and it's hard to see good journalists faced with the possibility of redundancy as a result. I've done a fair amount of work with the team down the years, especially with web editor Will Mann. They have my commiserations and best wishes.


Don't beat me up. I think I know the answer allready. But seriously, if I stayed within the calorie limit, what could it hurt? I only like the choclate bars and shakes. Has anyone done this before?.
You'll be way over in your carbs and calories. One bar per day, but any other meal you can have multiples of. With winter approaching, I'm doing more soups now, but through the summer, I did one bar and 4 shakes every day! Plus my L&G of course. You might do something like that!!.
Each bar has about 160 calories and 20 carbs. If you ate 5 of those in a day, you're already @ 800 calories and 100 carbs, plus you have to get in your L&G..
Remember, your tastes will change, but you could do your shakes and a bar, like I said! Good luck!!.
Not going to do any beating up...but have to wonder how with 5 bars a day you will be able to stay within the limits set by Medifast for calories & carbs? Don't know - haven't done the math. Thought Medifast had it all figured out for me so I just go along with their guidelines. Maybe your question can be answered best by Nutrition Support???..
Sorry Mary, but too many carbs... Is why you can not have just bars. I would love to do the same and keep trying to figure out a way.... But every time, reason pops back into my head and reminds me of all the carbs.... I actually buy the diabetic bars and shakes as often as possible, because they are less sweet..
I agree, if I could live on Medifast carmel nut bars, trust me, I would...but alas, it is not meant to be. As stated above, you would go way over your carb intake for the day, which would throw you completely off plan. Maybe try some of the capella drops in the shakes, those make a huge diff to the flavors, give you some variety....?..
I suppose it's better than some things you could eat - like ONLY Big Macs, or ONLY Hershey bars. Let's face it, most of us are on Medifast because we didn't make good food choices, and if all-bars does it for you, you'll lose weight if it's less calories than you burn each day. It'd be slower weight loss, but it'd be weight loss..
This is my second time doing Medifast all-out and I had a couple tries in there where I didn't make it out of the first week. I honestly think a part of my problem then was having to choke down the food. This time around, I ordered the RTD shakes since they're so much easier and I limited my order to only things I actually like - the chicken and rice soup, the chocolate mint bars, the beef vegetable stew. Personally, my "regular" food diet isn't very varied (it was all fattening, heh) and I think I'll do better with less variety rather than more..
Read the Medifast Manual. read the tools tab.
You will lean so much & understand how the plan works..
Well, I have been there...done that. To some extent anyway. I was on MediFast last year and lost about 50 lbs. The bars were the only thing that sometimes got me off strict plan. On occasion, I would eat my bar early in the day (Instead of as a treat at night) and all I could think about was MORE BARS. Sometimes I really DID eat almost all bars all day.
There's a pattern among those who have suggested eating 5 bars are a good idea. They are back on plan again. Which means they didn't succeed that first time. This plan is about making smart choices, not just while on plan, but after. It's a total package sort of thing. If you don't make good choices while on plan, you will likely maintain those habits when you reach goal.
Anyhow, despite the rudeness of some of the responses...For the most part I agree with them. Don't even think about eating 5 bars/day, just follow the plan and you'll do fine. If you want the plan to work, you've got to work the plan..
The bars are good...........but I do not think anyone would WANT to eat five of them per day. That would just be too hard and you would tire of that plan very quickly. It is like saying I will lose wt. as long as I eat 1000 or less calories per day no matter what it is. True..........but the body needs more than say 1000 calories of candy per day or chips or whatever. The body needs balance.
No need to be rude. My point was simple, and true: if you burn more calories than you consume, you will lose weight. It's that "easy". Few people lose weight that way, however, because there are reasons they were overweight in the first place, things like discipline and portion size and lack of willpower to persevere when the scale budges the 1-2 pounds per week that we've all heard touted as "appropriate". It is, therefore, totally possible to eat five bars/day and lose weight. No, it's not "on plan." I never said it was.
It's not rude - it's true. Your logic is no different than saying eating 5 snickers bars is better than eating 5 double quarter pounders. While it may be true, it is irrelevant. The logic is illogical..
And actually. the only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume. And everyone who loses weight naturally loses it that way..
The fact that the OP asked the question on the Medifast site pretty much implies that they were referring to the Medifast plan. Are you kidding me with this?.
Here's the first thing I said:.
And here's what you said:.
How are you still "correcting" me when we're saying the same thing?.
As for "it's not rude, it's true", the opposite of rude is not false. You can say true things, and say them more nicely..
I've been thinking this for the longest time and couldn't have said it better. Thanks..
Wow - DHS..... you continue to amaze me..... in your own words..."yawn".
Stickintoit and and Luvinmefirst,,well said ladies!!,,,,and Mikealy,,"yawn",,is it your bedtime??? LOL..
MaryBG - Thanks for being brave enough to ask a question such as this. It's not easy being new and asking somethng about the plan, is it? I could tell by your opening remarks of "Don't Beat Me Up." That is just horrible that you have to feel that way. Any question is a good question and you should feel comfortable in asking it. I hope you continue to do so. I just wonder why you felt that way in the first place? Was it because you felt like you were going to be attacked or maybe knew the answer but hoped there might be a way? There are many wonderful people that you can talk to on here - just read posts and you will find those that seem like-minded to you. I wish you much success in the way that meets your needs - but for your health and in which the way this program was researched - only one bar a day is the best choice to make! (I don't even eat one bar a day because I want my weight loss to be the most optimal that I can make it, and I figured they are more carbs than I need. I also found that since it is processed different than the powders that it was harder for me to digest....personal opinion.) I look forward to reading about your successes!..
If you eat just bars you will not remain in a ketogenic state because they have more carbs than the other products. Plus, they have 150 almost. And most importantly, you want to learn to eat a balanced sort of diet...not just bars that are sweet and delicious! If you were to eat just bars and lose all the weight you want, when you tried to transition it would be about impossible.
Good luck Anything worth having take hard work! You are worth it!..
Hi Mary! You were right...you probably did know the answer to the question before you asked....but yes, the Medifast plan is only one bar per day at most.
They are yummy...and taste like candy, so it would be great if you could eat all 5 meals...but, if you did that, you wouldn't be on MF. Plus, I think one of the biggest things about Medifast is learning to change the way you eat and they way you think about food. Seeing food as fuel instead of something that feeds your desires and emotions.
So people think it is rude...but saying that eating 5 bars a day is OK, well it isn't okay. I worry for Mary's sake if she reads those posts and thinks that is a way to be successful, but that's what we all want...for everyone to be successful..
Good luck to you Mary...and my advice, check out the recipes section because it can make a lot of the other things much better. I really disliked the soup as soup... but I love it as bread or chips or a tortilla..
Tracy, thanks for your post. Your answer was thoughtful, informative and supportive. I always appreciate your input! Czuchada, great post as well!.
Shelley, I don't think is saying that "eating 5 bars a day isn't ok" is rude. It's very simply the way you say it. Any opinion offered, whether in response to the OP or others who have offered their advice needs to be done with respect. By all means, let's offer varying opinions, and provide support where possible. But let's not do it in a manner that's demeaning to others.
Stickinto it, congratulations on your decision to come back onto the plan after the birth of your little one. Good luck to you!!.
Mary, of course this is all about you! There have already been some great suggestions here. I would also add that you may want to contact Nutrisystem if it is truly a challenge for you to tolerate anything other than the bars. They may have some other solutions that will allow you to stay within the plan and achieve the greatest success possible..
Hmm...if you could let me know when people have been on program or achieved their goal weight long enough to offer advice. It seems like I missed the memo. It's clear you don't like Dave's advice, but why does it mean you need to belittle the work he has put in and his commitment to the program. But disregard because I have only been here shy of two months and haven't hit my goal yet....does that invalidate my opinion as well?.
It was clear Dave didn't like my advice, but he didn't have to belittle me, or re-committers in general; had his posts been less snippy, no one here would've had anything but congratulatory and encouraging words for him..
I don't think bars can be compared to Big Macs. Despite higher carbs/calories, they still have nutrition content that is much better than a Big Mac, or Whopper...true story..
BUT. I think a true answer could be...you COULD eat all bars - but you could not have 5 of them - you could probably have maybe 3 or 3.25 of them to add up to the same cals/carbs as would be, say, 5 other varied Medifast meals.
If you can do an all oatmeal day, why not an all bar day? You just couldn't eat every 2 or 3 hours, and you couldn't eat 5 bars and stay w/in nutritional limits that show success.
So - the moral of the story (for me) is - while an all-5-bar-day is not going to get you results you want, nor is it Medifast plan-ish, but you feel you really need an all bar day for some reason (legal disclaimer: I am not advocating this just because I am stating it), then I suppose you could just reduce the number to come close to what the Medifast meals would total, if you had all 5..
While I admire DHS for his success and continued support to us on the boards, I do have to chime in and convey my surprise at his abruptness in his post. However, taking it into context with his other numerous supportive and pretty amazing posts, I am willing to let it roll....sometimes in the game of tug of war, someone just needs to drop the rope....there's no "fight" if there's no one there to "fight" with....no sense in looking for trouble..
Good luck to everyone, and although I admit it's relatively exciting reading for me on a boring Friday night, can't we all just get along???.
But what about the rest of the nutrition? Vitamins, minerals etc.? I'm sure Nutrisystem would give this a big NO. But hey, why not post it to them and see what their answer will be?.
You know, I just have to post on this issue. I'll probably kill this thread, but what the hey!.
I think that it is difficult for those of us who are on plan 100% to be asked to endorse or respond positively to a question about whether eating outside of the plan "rules" is OK. This is where the frustration comes in.
It is similar to logging into an Atkins diet support thread and asking if it would be OK to have pasta twice a week, or logging onto an anti-smoking board and asking if it would be OK to have just one or two cigarettes a week. You would probably get responses in a similar vein..
Food is such a touchy issue, and the reasons for being on plan or off plan or whatever are too complex to address here. And, I won't sit in judgement of anyone. But, the bottom line is:.
IF you are on medifast, is it OK to eat off-plan? And do you want my positive support while you do so?.
Dave's point of view is NO, OF COURSE NOT. He is direct and speaks bluntly, but you will always get the truth. And sometimes, the truth hurts. Whatever your reason for eating off plan is, the bottom line is that it isn't OK within the parameters of this plan. And I understand the frustration when I read post after post after post from people who seem to have a disconnect between losing weight and doing the work it takes to get there. NOT that this is our original poster's case.
All I will say is that, for me, the issue is clear. I am on this plan to lose weight. There are "rules" to following this plan in order to achieve my goals. I need to follow these rules. And please don't ask me to tell you it is OK to do your own thing under the guise of being on plan.
It isn't my business what others choose to do on this plan. However, I find it almost impossible to provide positive support to those who choose NOT to follow the plan and then are upset that they don't achieve their goals, or even worse, want me to be supportive whilst they do so... I DO support those who slip off plan and then get right back on, because this is a different issue altogether..
Hi Maya...I just wanted to respond so you wouldn't feel you are killing the thread. lol j/k.
I wanted to say that I was surprised and delighted to read your response. For me, you hit the nail right on the head....and described it much more eloquently than I ever could.
If I was to try to get into the OP's head, which of course...is a dangerous thing to do, but let's give it a shot. It seems to me that with her question, she was hoping to find a way to be able to eat all bars during the day....and if answers support that, it confirms what she may have been looking for. I love pizza...and if someone told me a few times over how the diet might work if I ate pizza, I'd be in bad shape. So, for me...and maybe some others, I need to reinforce what is on plan and in the best interest of people doing MF. So...no to 5 bars, 3 bars, 3.5 bars, etc...because it just isn't on plan. It isn't to fight or be mean...it's to help because I know everyone will be more successful if they are 100% committed..
Wait a minute...why am I explaining again...you did it perfectly. Thanks for that. This is me being quiet now. (don't expect it to last long lol).
Like in my legal disclaimer - I wasn't saying nor advocating anyone do what I was saying. Of course Nutrisystem would give it a big "no." Why didn't you just respond to the OP and tell them to "just ask NS" so the OP could get the big "no" from NS?.
In other words, I wasn't supporting, advocating, or recommending anything. I was merely stating that IF you truly felt the need, that would be the only way I could think of to accomplish it and not be way out of the ball park.
When I tried Medifast the first time (and NutriSystem and numerous other plans), I ate more bars per day than recommended. Each and every time. It's why I'm as heavy as ever. When I finally decided to "do" a plan the way it was supposed to be done, one with more than 20 years of success behind it, I joined in that success. You can eat 5 bars a day if you want. You can eat 10.
Now THAT was well said..
Can this one die now????..
It just seemed like such a nonsensical hypothetical. Worse so than the original post. Which is why I didn't respond to the original post but responded to yours. 'K?.
So much for not being snarky, eh?.
You got me - that made me smile.
First off,,DO NOT READ IF A NEWBIE a few facts here,,Is eating more than one bar a day the "real" Medifast plan?? OF COURSE NOT! We all agree on that, INCLUDING the original poster,,I imagine she was simply asking out of hope! lol,,I don't think she deserved to be crawled all over, nor does anyone else who posts!,,now,,as to the carbs,,it WOULD be possible to have more than one bar, reduce somewhere on the L/G,the lowest carb veggies,,such as salad greens, no dressing, or use all the shakes for let's say 3 of the five meals, and if choosing the lowest carb bars, you quite posssibly could stay 100 carbs or slightly below,,but of course, not with all bars. That said,,bottom line,,as much as ketosis speeds up our weight loss,,,you can lose weight as long as calories taken in are less than calories expended,,,,plain ,simple, proven logic.( yes, I did the math) I am not condoning doing this in any way,,,this would NOT be the Medifast plan, but still a person COULD lose this way,albiet it slowly,,,now,,I am sure I will be jumped mightily about this, but facts are facts and I really don't give a rat's patootie what some will say, as I AM NOT ENDORSING eating all bars,,(have to keep saying that, since some do not "see" the actual words.) I would find all bars boring anyway. Now,,,this thread can die..
Lol TREYNOLDS,,I think that would kill the sale of ALL the bars,,,wouldn't be a question then,,..
Hey Freia Reminds me of the other forums where they play last word, like a control game.
LOL so the last word is now mine..

I have recently begun playing sims freeplay again after years of ignoring it. I only have one complaint. There is not enough time to finish ANY of these quests unless you use real money to buy, buy, buy or take drugs to stay awake until you complete it or both. Couldn't you have made these a little more fun for us and let us be able to finish them? Or maybe go back to them in some sort of round robin thing? As it stands I have spent over £50 and know of others who go into the hundreds of pounds or dollars. Come on guys, you could be nicer.
Yes! that too! I am still playing but I only do what I feel I can complete without spending a fortune. After all I have cakes to make to age my toddlers (3) and that is 5 lp for each one. How plum is that!

Michel Chion – Audio-Vision: Sound on Screen
In Audio-Vision: Sound on Screen, French critic and composer Michel Chion reassesses audiovisual media since the revolutionary 1927 debut of recorded sound in cinema, shedding crucial light on the mutual relationship between sound and image in audiovisual perception. Chion argues that sound film qualitatively produces a new form of perception: we don't see images and hear sounds as separate channels, we audio-view a trans-sensory whole. Expanding on arguments made in his influential books The Voice in Cinema and Sound in Cinema, Chion provides lapidary insight into the functions and aesthetics of sound in film and television. He considers the effects of such evolving technologies as widescreen, multitrack, and Dolby; the influences of sound on the perception of space and time; and the impact of such contemporary forms of audio-vision as music videos, video art, and commercial television. Chion concludes with an original and useful model for the audiovisual analysis of film.

If you had asked me a month ago if I knew about Franklin Delano Roosevelt, I would have said "of course." Even though we never made it that far into history in elementary and middle school, I felt like I knew all about FDR's New Deal, Fireside Chats, his response to Pearl Harbor, and the adorable 'lil pup, Fala, who sits at his feet at his memorial in DC. But a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to visit Hyde Park in Dutchess County and I learned so much more about our longest-serving president. If you are a history nerd (like I am sometimes), Hyde Park is a must-visit, and is relatively easy from NYC.
If you get on the 8:45 am train from Grand Central to Poughkeepsie, the free Roosevelt Ride shuttle will meet you at the train station two hours later. The shuttle will take you straight to Hyde Park where you can find the FDR Home, the FDR Presidential Library and Museum, FDR's retreat Top Cottage, Eleanor Roosevelt's home Val-Kill, and the Vanderbilt Mansion.
The FDR Home where Roosevelt was born, grew up, and lived as an adult was our first stop. It was interesting to learn about FDR as a child and young ornithologist. FDR's boyhood bird collection, stuffed by FDR himself, is still sitting on the shelves of the main room. One of my favorite collections of FDR's still displayed in the house is dozens of framed political cartoons. The picture below is of the bed where FDR was born in 1882. I hope someone has saved the bed I was born in at Atlantic City Medical Center to be displayed at my own historical site someday.
The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum has been recently renovated and modernized. It is awesome and I wish we had had more time to spend there. When the library was first established, it was actually the first ever Presidential Library, kicking off a trend still in style today. FDR designed it himself and it first opened in 1941. Not only does the museum touch upon FDR's life and presidency, but the renovation now allows a teaching of the times, as some visitors may not be as familiar with what life was like for the typical American during the Great Depression and World War II.
On display are letters from the American public to FDR, his Ford Phaeton that he used to ride around Hyde Park (specially modified with hand-controls), and his desk with all of his knickknacks set up just how he had used it in the day (below). Interactive exhibits give you the details behind tough decisions that FDR had to make and ask what you might have done with the given information. You can even sit in a model of a kitchen from the 1940s and listen to clips from FDR's Fireside Chats. There is also a special exhibit area dedicated to Eleanor Roosevelt who was one hell LOVE a lady (see her pistol license below).
If you've seen "Hyde Park on Hudson," you're probably familiar with FDR's retreat, Top Cottage. It is where FDR hosted the King and Queen of England in the movie (and in real life). We stood on the porch and heard stories of the visit, which was not only when discussions about the creation of the Atomic Bomb were held, but also when FDR served hot dogs to the royal couple. The Queen politely declined. The porch reminded me of the porch at my grandmother's house, which has also been the site of important conversations, although perhaps none as important (or controversial) as ending a war with an Atomic Bomb. We also visited Eleanor Roosevelt's retreat of Val-Kill, which felt very warm and cozy.
The new Roosevelt Farm Lane Tram Tour will begin in June and take visitors around Roosevelt's tree plantations. I thought it was adorable when I learned that FDR listed his profession as "Tree Farmer" instead of "President." The Roosevelt Farm sold Christmas trees and often sent them to other political figures of the time.
This trip is definitely doable as a day trip, but the train ride *is* quite long. If you have a full weekend, I'd encourage you to stay and enjoy the farms, wineries, golf courses, galleries and more in the area. Dutchess County is the perfect place to Hyde away from the city for a few days.
Many thanks to Dutchess County Tourism for hosting me on this trip. Opinions are always my own.

We're joined by Carolyn Kellogg, book critic for the Los Angeles Times, to talk about two new books that recently hit the shelves.
Her first recommendation is a thriller called The Fever by Megan Abbott. The novel explores what happens when teenagers in a small Northeast town get hit with a mysterious illness, which tests teenage friendships and the strength of a family.
Kellogg also recommends a memoir about a girl and her father. It's not your typical father-daughter-bonding tale. Maria Venegas writes about reconnecting with her estranged father in Bulletproof Vest: Ballad of an Outlaw and his Daughter.
You can find Kellogg's writing in the Los Angeles Times or on their blog, Jacket Copy.
Moby is one of the most successful electronic musicians in the world. But he didn't start fiddling with synthesizers and drum machines as a kid -- he was studying classical guitar. Then, his world changed with just one song.
Moby tells us about the song that changed his life, Frank Sinatra's "My Way" as performed by Sid Vicious.
Moby's newest album is called Innocents.
Max Greenfield stars as Schmidt on FOX's series New Girl. His character is so sweet and enthusiastic in his bro-y-ness, you can't help but love him. Schmidt is frequently shirtless, occasionally naked, and never less than transparent in his striving.
Schmidt was a breakout role for Greenfield, and before he got it, he would read audition lines with his wife, who happens to be a casting director. He talks about how she can be his toughest critic, how he and Schmidt are most alike, and how mispronouncing words like "chutney" came to be part of Schmidt's essence.
New Girl just ended its third season on Fox. Both the show and Greenfield's role have been submitted for Emmy consideration.

According to the documentation:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/query-data/get-data#dart_1
It is necessary to distinguish whether you want to retrieve the data only once or listen to changes over the document in real time.
It seems to me like you want to accomplish 1. case that you only want to retrieve data once. In that case.
You should change:
agencyListModel = await _db.collection('collectionName')
                           .doc('myDoc')
                           .snapshots()

Archbishops of the Modern Era (1851 – 2012)
During the second half of the Nineteenth Century, the premier See of Baltimore was ruled by four colorful and individually unique prelates. In 1851, Bishop Francis P. Kenrick of Philadelphia was transferred to Baltimore following the death of Archbishop Eccleston. A prominent theologian and brother of Archbishop Peter Kenrick of St. Louis, he administered Baltimore during a period of intense national division both preceding and during the first two years of the Civil War.
Archbishop Kenrick died in July, 1863, and for the only time in its history there was no archbishop in Baltimore for almost a year. The federal government was particularly interested in a successor to Archbishop Kenrick who would hopefully be sympathetic to the Lincoln administration.
In May 1864, Bishop Martin J. Spalding of Louisville was named archbishop. A prolific writer, he served until his death in 1872 and is chiefly remembered for organizing the second plenary council of 1866 during which the Church, like the government, reconstructed itself following the Civil War. Remarkable was the complete union of the Catholic Church in the United States when the major Protestant denominations had split into northern and southern conferences.
The eighth Archbishop of Baltimore was James Roosevelt Bayley, Bishop of Newark, who was appointed in July 1872. He was a nephew of Mother Seton and a relative of the Presidents Roosevelt. Plagued by illness, he frequently absented himself from Baltimore, preferring to reside at Seton Hall College in Newark.
In May 1877, Bishop James Gibbons of Richmond became coadjutor-archbishop with the right of succession to the ailing Archbishop Bayley, and automatically succeeded at the latter's death on October 3, 1877. For forty-four years the native-born Archbishop Gibbons ruled the Baltimore see and in 1886 became its first cardinal.
His successor, Bishop Michael J. Curley of St. Augustine, Florida, was archbishop from 1921 until 1947. His later years were marked by blindness and suffering. In 1939, when the Archdiocese of Washington was erected, Archbishop Curley was chosen to administer it, thus becoming the only American prelate to occupy two archbishoprics simultaneously. His reputation as an administrator rests in part on the building program he adopted in Baltimore, particularly the establishment of new parishes and parochial schools. This reputation was inherited by the eleventh archbishop, Francis P. Keough, who was transferred from Providence, Rhode Island, to Baltimore in 1947. In October 1954, ground was broken for the new Cathedral of Mary Our Queen. Dedicated in 1959, the contemporary Gothic structure was made possible by the late Thomas J. O'Neill (1849-1919) in a bequest to Cardinal Gibbons. Archbishop Keough, during his later years, gave special attention to the need for Catholic high schools and his administration ended shortly after the completion of Archbishop Curley and Cardinal Gibbons high schools. This program was carried on by Archbishop Keough's successor, Archbishop Lawrence J. Shehan, who succeeded to the see on December 8, 1961, and became Baltimore's second cardinal on February 22, 1965. Cardinal Shehan was succeeded by Archbishop William Donald Borders who became the thirteenth Archbishop of Baltimore in April, 1974. Archbishop Borders reorganized the administrative structure of the Archdiocese and greatly encouraged the development of a collegial approach to pastoral ministry.
Archbishop Borders retired in April, 1989 and was succeeded by Most Reverend William Henry Keeler, until then the Bishop of Harrisburg. From November 1992 through November 1995, Archbishop Keeler served as President of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops in the United States. In November, 1994, Archbishop Keeler was elevated to the College of Cardinals by His Holiness, Pope John Paul II, making him Baltimore's third cardinal archbishop and only the second cardinal to serve as President of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Cardinal Keeler retired in 2007 and Archbishop Edwin O'Brien was installed as the 15th Archbishop of Baltimore on October 1, 2007 at a Mass at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen. On August 29, 2011, Pope Benedict XVI appointed Archbishop O'Brien as Pro Grand Master of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem and on January 6, 2012, elevated him to the College of Cardinals. On March 20, 2012, Bishop William E. Lori of the Diocese of Bridgeport, was named to succeed Cardinal O'Brien as the Archbishop of Baltimore. His Mass of Installation occurred on May 16 at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen.

FT Bypasses Apple's iTunes, Launches HTML5 Web App (Free Access First Week)
The Financial Times would rather not have Apple take a 30 percent cut of in-app subscriptions for its iOS publications, and has launched a HTML5 Web app that enables readers to access content across tablets and smartphones.
As part of the Web app's debut, FT will provide free access during launch week.
In a thinly veiled jab at Apple, Financial Times CEO John Ridding comments:
"The FT Web App offers our customers flexibility and freedom of choice with access to our global journalism anytime, anywhere, with a single login or subscription. In a world of increasingly digital complexity we want to keep our service simple, easy to use and efficient to offer our customers the best possible experience of FT journalism."
The browser app enables readers to access content when offline by saving a shortcut to articles, receive automatic updates without the need to download new versions of the app and access content exclusively made for tablets.
An upcoming feature is 'Clippings', a service that will allow users to read articles later, either on their tablet or on their desktop PC. Sound familiar? (look for 'reading list')
FT acknowledges that the Web app has been initially optimized for the iPhone and the iPad, but says it will also be adapted for Android-based devices and the BlackBerry PlayBook.
Accessing FT content is free for up to ten articles per month, if you register.
In a few weeks, Apple will start charging publishers 30 percent of revenues while trying to enforce a rule that their content subscribers must sign up through the iTunes App Store rather than directly with them.
FT in a Q&A about the new app says there are benefits to a Web app, for one because developing multiple native apps for various products is "logistically and financially unmanageable" and because it allows users too see new changes and features immediately.
FT also points out that with a Web app, there is no extended release process through an app store and also offers technical advantages such as access to hardware APIs.
The publisher also notes the challenges with creating the HTML5 app:
The breadth of tools and documentation available for native apps and even desktop HTML5 development is just not there for mobile-based web app development. In addition the usual testing tools for both functional and performance testing do not exist, so we had to invent our own systems and processes to make sure the app worked effectively.
Be sure to read analyst Benedict Evans' take on the news.

Memorializing The 1988 Massacre
Speech of Fatma Bulaz
The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini, ordered the execution of thousands of political prisoners under a secret religious decree. The massacre began on July 29 in Tehran's notorious' prison Evin and later in Gohardasht on July 30. Human rights organizations estimate that over the course of two months between 4,500 and 5,000 men, women, and juveniles were slaughtered in prisons across Iran in the summer of 1988.
The memory of the mass violence inflicted on the dissidents has been systematically suppressed in Iran. In this vein, the family members and the survivors were all silenced and were denied the right and space to honor the death of their loved ones publicly or to give them a ceremonial burial. As a result of this mass violence and repression, there has been limited access to the experiences of survivors and eyewitnesses since the 1980s. Several survivors and Iranian dissidents have written in the past year, even though it was dangerous for Iranians to write and share their personal stories in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The thesis focuses on memorializing the 1988 prison massacre and remembrance by survivors and family members. This research uses data collected from mainly the grassroots movement, the Mothers of Khavaran, and the Iran Tribunal. Besides data obtained from the webpage of the Iran Tribunal, it also uses data from journals, memoirs, and documentaries. The data is used for quantitative analysis to understand the victim group's narrative. The research question of the thesis is: How is the 1988 prison massacre being remembered, and what role does the Movement of the Mothers of Khavaran play in the collective memory of the mass atrocities committed by the Islamic Republic of Iran in the 1980s?
The thesis analyzes how Iranian society deals with (or ignores) memories of its violent and traumatic past. After the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the systematic suppression of all opposition began. Thousands of people were captured, tortured, and executed. The primary target was the leftists, but this purge meant that the rest of society got also terrorized by the new state. This suppression led to the grassroots organization initiated by family members of the victims to seek truth and justice and defend the human rights of their loved ones. The case study deepens the understanding of the social movement of the Mothers of Khavaran and the Iran Tribunal.
This thesis is both relevant and timely – even urgent – because of the trial of Hamid Nouri, a 61-year-old former prison official. He has been prosecuted for crimes against humanity in connection with the mass executions of Iranian prisoners. Nouri served as an assistant to the deputy prosecutor at the Gohardasht prison in Teheran, Iran, when the mass executions of 1988 took place.

This book examines nobrow, a cultural formation that intertwines art and entertainment into an identifiable creative force. In our eclectic and culturally turbocharged world, the binary of highbrow vs. lowbrow is incapable of doing justice to the complexity and artistry of cultural production. Until now, the historical power, aesthetic complexity, and social significance of nobrow "artertainment" have escaped analysis. This book rectifies this oversight. Smart, funny, and iconoclastic, it scrutinizes the many faces of nobrow, throwing surprising light on the hazards and rewards of traffic between high entertainment and genre art.
Peter Swirski is Distinguished Professor of American Studies and American Literature. Listed in Canadian Who's Who, he is a multiple Amazon bestseller in his field and author of sixteen award-winning books, including From Lowbrow to Nobrow (2005) and American Crime Fiction: A Cultural History of Nobrow Literature as Art (2016).

Guilty Pleasures, or Nobrow Treasures?


We've seen the studies; telemedicine has been used effectively in treatment modalities ranging from telestroke consultations that save lives to diagnosing a cold or flu in a primary care setting. The commonality between each of these applications includes high expectations and even higher outcomes that have included better quality of care, reduced inpatient volumes, and lowered costs.
Interestingly, one of the biggest benefits of a telemedicine application comes from the convenience of providing care without having the additional time and expense of traveling to see a clinician. Nowhere is that benefit more apparent than in the use of telemedicine to treat inmates behind bars in our nation's prisons and jails.
This article will look at how telehealth is reaching these inmates and providing them with better access to treatment, saving taxpayers money, and eliminating the security risks of bringing a prisoner out of an enclosed facility and into a hospital or clinical setting.
Why is Telemedicine Important in a Prison Setting?
The statistics tell us that there are approximately 500 prison inmates for every 100,000 residents in the United States. This population has been increasing steadily for decades. However, most jails and prisons lack adequate professional healthcare services. Inmates, just like the regular population, suffer from chronic diseases and general illness that many times necessitate a trip beyond prison walls for treatment. In fact, some illnesses such as HIV, mental health disorders, and hepatitis C are much more prevalent in the prison population than in the general citizenry. There is also a growing cadre of elderly inmates suffering from the same kinds of chronic illness as any other population. Diabetes, COPD, and arthritis, can all be treated via a remote visit.
While some correctional facilities ship inmates to hospitals or clinics for care, this is a costly endeavor that requires additional security protocols that are expensive and time-consuming. Given that most prisons are located in rural areas, access to specialty care is notoriously lacking.
That's exactly why telemedicine has been used for years to successfully provide treatment to inmates. Telehealth keeps the general population – and doctors – safer, while getting inmates the care they need much more quickly. An article in Pew suggests that doctors "feel a lot safer these days," while not compromising the quality of the care they provide.
Telemedicine applications have been used in prisons and jails in the United States since the early 1990s, according to Modern Healthcare.
As far back as 2004, it was reported that more than half of all state prisons and about 40% of federal penitentiaries were using some sort of telehealth application to provide care to inmates. The tool is especially effective for providing preventative education for chronic diseases.
The United States (US) has a large correctional population. However, many incarcerated persons lack access to evidence-based, up-to-date medical care, particularly by subspecialty providers, due to limitations of geography, travel, cost and other resources. The use of telehealth technologies can remove these barriers, increasing access to high quality, multidisciplinary care. Studies have shown that, with telemedicine, timely triage and medical management can be provided across many disciplines, which may lead to improved clinical outcomes and significant cost savings.
The cost benefits are likely higher in these settings. That's because inmates require special secure transportation as well as multiple guards. Each time an inmate leaves their secure environment, risk is created; telemedicine eliminates the costs, time, and risk associated with leaving the prison environment to receive healthcare.
Modern Healthcare reported on one such application of telemedicine in the Rikers Island Jail in New York City. The article documented that inmates typically spend six to eight hours in small holding pens and stuck in traffic in order to spend five minutes with a doctor. It was a frustrating experience for the inmate who had to go through extensive waiting in order to receive care.
In 2016, Rikers introduced telemedicine to the facility, which holds 55,000 inmates annually. For the past two years, inmates have received virtual visits from infectious disease, gastroenterology, and urology specialty providers. These visits can run to 30-minutes as patients ask questions and receive treatment.
The Modern Healthcare article pointed out that providing healthcare to the incarcerated population isn't "easy or cheap," at around $2,000 per inmate per day. With corrections officials feeling increasing pressure to cut back expenditures, telemedicine offers a high-quality yet low-cost solution for providing care.
Rikers and the health system are looking at several possibilities for expanding its telemedicine program, including psychiatric consultations and other specialty services. It also plans to add additional NYC Health & Hospital campuses to the telemedicine network.
An article from the Pew Charitable Trusts quotes the former assistant secretary for the Washington State Department of Corrections as saying, "Telemedicine is perfectly designed for prisons." While it's difficult to quantify the costs of transportation and additional guard time, Texas, a state that uses telemedicine extensively, attributes their low cost per inmate (about half the national average) on the widespread use of telehealth services.
It seems that the benefits of telehealth can extend across a variety of settings in the United States. To find out more about OrthoLive's solution for the orthopedic practice, contact us for a demo of our service.


Leona and Sophie are super excited to announce that Behrouz and Kara (Brisbane, Australia) are making their way over the ditch to visit WELLINGTON this May! Also joining them is Sibell, with whom Behrouz organises the Brisbane Zouk Festival. Behrouz and Kara will be teaching 4 Open Level workshops on Saturday 4th May, and all three of our guests will be joining us for plenty of social zouking too!!!
Workshop places will be limited to 15 leads and 15 follows so please register early to avoid missing out! It is recommended that you will have completed at least 1 term of beginner zouk - please ask your teacher if you are unsure of your level. Registration is through payment as instructed below – please remember to reference your full name and whether you are a LEAD or FOLLOW.
To make our Brisbane visitors feel especially welcome, we will have an extra D4 social on Wed 1st May, as well as a Zouk party on the Saturday night, to "bookend" the workshops with some social dancing either side (separate facebook events to come but details listed below).
