Tele-TalkFresh takes, in-depth analysis and opinions from our esteemed panel of industry leaders
5G or no 5G. Do operators have the vision ready?
5G is definitely the fifth generation of cellular communications, but its not just that. It is a game changer provided operators, the key stakeholders who are taking it to the masses have the requisite vision for it. Unfortunately, every operator is primarily looking at 5G as an incremental technology that will give more speed, less or zero latency and other technical improvements over the predecessor. This is a very shallow outlook of the technology.India is no different than this global Read more..
Government's disruptive thinking to decide whether 5G is for masses or a luxury
In any sector, government and the industry work together to fetch the best for the consumers. Likewise, in telecom also, both government and the industry have been working in tandem to add value to the sector that it can bring for consumers. However, with the changing technologies, everybodys approach has to change. The way 2G, 3G and 4G were dealt, perhaps need a departure in policy and regulatory outlook when talking about 5G. There is a fundamental difference which calls for this new Read more..
ETT 5G Congress: If 5G demands new business models, so does it demand new policy regime
One of the major gaps at present between the industry and the government on 5G is what will trigger it. While the government is of the view that industry has to change its business model for 5G to happen, the industry feels a different out-of-box policy view is required. The feeling that comes to oneself after hearing various government stakeholders is that they want 5G to prove itself on technology grounds. For instance, is it secure? However, the fact of the matter is that many of these Read more..
Why Ad-Fraud should be a charter item for Smartphone OEMs?
The very basic logic that the Smartphone OEMs are undermining is that this omnipresent device is the default digital interface for millions of users. This means users are doing everything digital using a Smartphone. So, considering that any type of fraud, including Ad-Fraud, is not a charter for the Smartphone OEMs to pursue is a wrong assessment of the issue. There could be only two reasons for this attitude lack of awareness or lack of interest in addressing the matter. Thinking that Read more..
Is there a dearth of 5G use cases in India?
In view of many, it may appear that 5G is delayed in India. Whether delayed or not, is perception based and debatable. But, one thing is for sure that the ecosystem does not want to jump without a visible RoI. We may have to take a different approach for 5G. It is, by its nature, not a carpet technology where the ecosystem enables it and the mass adoption starts to begin. There has to be an innovative way of making 5G happen, at least in its formative years which brings value to the ecosystem Read more..
ETIMC takeaway: Solution providers are upbeat, service providers balancing between the present and future
The fundamental role of telecom operator is ever changing. Starting with the infrastructure provider, moving to a service provider, the telecom operator in a digital era is an applications provider. The user of a digital world will not appreciate the infrastructure or backhaul that the operators will still require, but it will value the kind of applications the operator is able to serve to customers for which they will pay. As India ushers into a new digital era which will be backed by data Read more..
Operators must strategically pace up their capabilities in online gaming
The incumbent telecom operators were kind of taken by a surprise by RILs Jio that redefined the meaning of telecom service, especially mobile, for consumers. A service which was primarily seen as a medium of communication began to widen its horizon and integrate almost in every other domain. This caused disruptions of the legacy systems, which has forced many segments to innovate and upgrade in their technology and business outlook. As an example, all leading TV channels, and content providers Read more..
Harmonising the online and offline smartphone sales
Online or Offline? Or Both? This is a question not only for the Smartphone brands, but also a hot topic through the industry. The online quick gainers always plause the power of the channel, while offline centric brands enumerate the advantages of physical connect. The fact of the matter is both are important. A brand must engage both and create complimenting synergies. Well, itseasier said than done! So, is there no way that both could be engaged and cannibalisation avoided, in whatsoever Read more..
Pre-embedding of apps and balancing the business case with user experience
It makes a great business case for Smartphone OEMs to earn out of pre-embeds, but not at the cost of user experience. There are only two approaches that the industry takes with respect to pre-embed of apps in Smartphones. Either they allow it or completely remain away from them. With all leading Smartphone brands now having millions of active users on their devices, there is a compelling business case for them to offer as much as they can to the users and earn out their pie out of it. This is Read more..
Telcos will have to invest in brand safety as they go digital
A telecom network is used for any digital delivery. As transformation takes places for operators to become digital networks, there will be a number of transactions that will take place through their networks. We are living in an era of Digital of Everything (DoE) where videos, commerce, finance, education, healthcare and everything else is getting delivered digitally. One of the lowest but most common forms of frauds we all encounter with is receiving messages across email, SMS, WhatsApp and Read more..
5G will not be a success without start-ups
Telecom ecosystem shall have to embrace start-ups as partners to make 5G a success World over, the disruption comes from a start-up. After 2000, there have been scarce instances of any established enterprise causing a disruption in the market. Its not that they have not contributed, but that is more evolutionary in nature. 5G is about network of everything and everybody. First time, networks shall have to offer one or the other thing to people and the things around. This means there shall be Read more..
Broadcom acquiring CA Technologies - A paradigm shift in M&As
Historically mergers and acquisitions were triggered from a supply orientation of the market. This needs a bit of an explanation. There exists a conventional value chain, which is very defined, and it is impossible for the players in the one segment to creep into another. But for growth or due to weakening of a player within the segment of the value chain, mergers and acquisitions would take place. Thereby, a market player would either fatten up its market share in a particular segment of the Read more..
Right of Way should be seen as a symbiotic relationship in the NTP 2018
What 4G has done to the mobile communications in India is hidden from none. There is no need to underscore the contribution of 4G to the overall mobile communications in the country. Unfortunately, fixed line is nowhere close to this pace of upgradation. Fiber networks are being deployed but at a snail pace. Customer or Premise facing fiber is still insignificant in the country. Fiber can do the same to legacy PSTN copper networks what 4G did to the mobile communications. It not only gives the Read more..
ETIMC Takeaway: SDN and Virtualisation of networks to trigger collaboration between IT and Telecom
Its not that IT and Telecom have not been working together. Primarily since the inception of digital telecom networks and now with all IP networks, the collaboration between IT and Telecom will be at an all-time high. Thanks to 5G and the roadmap towards 5G, SDN (Software Defined Networking) and NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) are going to be two critical IT technologies that will play a very critical role in telecom. The in-essence hybrid architecture of 5G and pre-5G technologies (4.5 Read more..
Collaborative R&D pivotal for Indian brands to remain relevant
With MWC coming to an end, we may not have seen any new technology being showcased. However, what we saw was the ramped-up preparation towards 5G. If we flash back a couple of years, Indian brands did not respond to 4G in the way they should have and eventually lost the game. The Chinese players saw the gap, in fact were successful in creating the gap and started trending the market performance charts and reports. This should not be replicated as we are at the 5G threshold. From the Indian Read more..
Why are innovations of the time not changing lives
There is a need to improve the performance on Spiritual Quotient to achieve greater levels of empathy in the inventions and innovations being pursued There was an era of Einsteins and Edisons of the world when an invention would mean really changing lives and having perpetual implications. Not like of the present, where an innovation of the day may last a couple of years. Agreed there are two dimensions to the fact that we are more on innovations than inventions and perhaps all fundamental Read more..
Video surveillance as a service option for fixed line operators
Fixed line services have been finding it challenging for over a decade now to grow. Growth apart, they are even struggling to stabilise. These days I see a lot of discussion in my social circles whether to trade off an existing broadband fixed line connection with a 4G dongle or not. The key reason for many deciding not to is children and parents in some cases.The fixed line broadband also gives the voice calling option bundled and that lets people connect with kids back home. Else one has to Read more..
Only diverse smartphone brands to stay relevant in India beyond 2017
The smartphone story in India has been one among the most exciting globally. It has reached pinnacles many a times giving strategists a tough time as those were followed by plateaus flattening the market opportunities. However, through these years one of the segments from price point has been important for brands to stay relevant and grow big. In the initial era of smartphones in India, it was all important to be in sub 10k price segment, then we saw the 5-8k becoming significant and finally Read more..
Aadhaar for Things!
Its time to cheer up that India has now more than 99% of the adult population enrolled for Aadhaar, the unique digital identity of a citizen. This has laid the foundation for lot many opportunities and there would be many more to evolve. In the era of Digital Society, uniquely identifying the elements that constitute it is very important. Not only from security point of view, but there even for fixing the responsibility in technology driven autonomous era. From legal standpoint, entering into a Read more..
Three layers of opportunity for Indian telecom industry in 2018
Dusshera has already kick-started the festive season around. For all these months till the end of 2017, its time to skim the milk by focusing on consumer centric activities leveraging from the celebrations time across the markets. This ends the value chain that the entire businesses have been working on delivering the offerings to the consumer. While the spotlight is all on to the consumer in the market place, its a breathing and re-thinking time for the business-to-business players and decide Read more..

We are excited about our Spiritual Director Training Course, Holy Conversations, led by Canon Susan J. Skillen, Canon for Spiritual Formation. Spiritual direction is a three-way conversation between the "directee," the "director" and the Holy Spirit. The director seeks to provide a safe and prayerful space in which director and directee can look together for the presence of God in the events of the directee's daily life. The director encourages and supports the directee in order that he or she may respond meaningfully to God's invitations.
Spiritual direction differs from therapy, discipling, counseling or mentoring. Does spiritual direction sound like something you would like to receive? Our diocese has trained spiritual directors located in many of our New England regions. To find a spiritual director near you, please email Canon Susan. You can also learn more about it here: Spiritual Direction FAQ
If you are a committed Christian and believe God might be calling you to spiritual direction ministry, we invite you to consider Holy Conversations, the next session beginning in August 2019.

Canon Susan Skillen's email
Responses to the Spiritual Formation course:
"It is hard to do justice to the amount of personal growth and insight this course has provided for me. It has been completely transformational and life changing on so many levels. Perhaps the single most important thing is the increasing freedom in my understanding and experience of God, myself and others."
"When I started I had only the slightest feel of a call to spiritual direction. Through the course that call has been both confirmed and solidified. It opened an awareness in me and built a solid foundation on which to stand while building a more substantial structure through practice."
"This course has powerfully impacted my prayer life and relationship to God. I feel that there has been a solidity, as well as a deeper and richer experience in my relationship to God through my prayer life. It has allowed me to enter more fully into the mystery of God and opened up new places of prayer within."
Christian Pilgrimage
The Rev. Canon Susan Skillen also offers yearly pilgrimages to various locations with Christian heritage around the world. The next journey is a Celtic pilgrimage in July of 2019. For more information on this and future trips, be sure to visit her blogspot here: http://retreatsinitaly.blogspot.com/p/a-celtic-pilgrimage.html

About Us
To keep your vehicle running more efficiently and at it's peak performance, schedule your automotive servicing with Danics Auto & Tyre Service Centre in Albion Park today.
The best way to keep your car running as economically and smoothly as the day you bought it is by regularly scheduling automotive servicing. Our mechanics and technicians take a professional approach to your vehicle, and will thoroughly service your vehicle with the utmost care and precision.
Scheduling regular visits with our trained technicians will help prevent costly repairs in the future to your car, van, 4WD or SUV.
To prevent time-consuming and costly multiple visits to a mechanic, starting a regular maintenance schedule is crucial. If detected early enough, many car repairs can be handled in the same visit. For example, during a service, while we are replacing a faulty timing belt, it might be time to replace your just-beginning-to-leak water pump. And since the labour for both procedures is almost the same, we save you time and money.
Don't wait for a breakdown to start thinking about automotive servicing. Get on a regularly scheduled maintenance program for 20,000, 40,000, 60,000, and 100,000km check-ups. It will pay off down the road, and keep you on the road longer.
- Belts
- Batteries
- Brakes
- Wheel alignments
- Exhaust
- Air conditioning
- Suspension systems
- Filters
- Log book service
- Transmissions

Our expert team specialise in providing automotive servicing for fleet vehicles. If you have a fleet of vehicles and want to schedule a regular maintenance program with us, just call us today or just drop by to our showroom to make a booking.

EM Spotlight August 2003
EM Spotlight August 2003
Each month, we spotlight an assortment of special features,reviews, and artist interviews from the pages of ElectronicMusician.
(October 1999)
The fact that every professional mixing console comes with anequalizer on each channel speaks volumes about the importance of EQ inthe recording and mixing process. But although every console has EQ,and most studios offer some sophisticated outboard units, not everyengineer knows how to properly equalize a sound.
(November 1999)
If an ensemble of African, East Indian, or Brazilian hand drummerswalked on stage, many club sound engineers would have little idea aboutwhich microphones to position where. This article covers miking commonpercussion instruments, as well as many esoteric ones that you mayencounter.
ProFile:Modular Mayhem (Minus)
(March 2002)
is a fixture in the Pacific Northwest's improvisational music scene.Based in Corvallis, Oregon, Minus comprises MarkFrance on guitar and vocals, Dave Trenkel onbass and keyboards, and Henry Franzoni on drums.France and Trenkel produced the band's second album,Dark Lit, which combines elements of metal, psychedelic rock,jazz, dub, funk, and the avant-garde.
ProFile:The Final Frontier (Chroma Key)
(November 2001)
Kevin Moore
was the original keyboardist in the progressive-rock bandDream Theater before embarking on a solo career asChroma Key. "I quit the band because I wasn'tgetting off on that kind of music anymore," he says. "I'dbeen doing another kind of writing that was more mood oriented. Istarted to write in what ended up being Chroma Key style."
Røde NTVMicrophone
(December 1999)
The new Rode NTV tube condenser microphone ismodeled after a vintage tube-mic design that connects the lead wire tothe edge of the capsule rather than to its center, an approach said toimprove both transient and low-frequency responses. I used the NTV torecord a variety of instruments during a two-month test period and wasquite impressed. Here's the scoop.
(June 2001)
In the race to capture a share of your gear budget, manymanufacturers have recently rolled out flashy, high-powered,channel-strip-style processors oriented toward vocal recording. Thesingle-channel PreSonus VXP breaks the budget mold by offering abountiful selection of high-quality, genuinely useful processingstages, starting with a mic preamp that gives the top contenders a runfor their money.

I enjoyed working with Mar'kenly. He came up with a customized workout plan to help me achieve my fitness goals. Further, his in person guidance to maintain the right postures and providing the motivation to push me further is commendable. I highly recommend him!
Linda Benhada is an amazing trainer. She is encouraging and ensures that (for an older client) I am working out in a safe manner. It's been a pleasure working with her!
Wambui has been acting as my replacement trainer for the past few weeks. She's been great! Each session, we touch on all major muscle groups and I can definitely say that I feel in better shape.
Started training with Joe a few weeks ago and am already starting to see some results! Joe is professional, on-time and focused on reaching my goals. You'll definitely feel sore the first few sessions but that's all part of the fun! Looking forward to continuing.
Arnell is an exceptional personal trainer. He explains all the exercises that you do and what muscle groups that they are working. He is well-spoken and knowledgable about fitness and what exercises will personally help you reach your goal. He always challenges you to get to the next level. He arrives promptly giving you 100% utilization of the 1 hour session. I would recommend Arnell to anyone who is looking for a personal trainer that is seasoned and professional.
What an amazing trainer, very kind & respectful. Always demonstrated new ways to lose weight & helps you create your own diet. 5 stars for sure !
Goes above and beyond, understanding, makes working out fun.
Great trainer! Ive been working out with Jason for about a month and already notice a difference in my strength and overall fitness. He is punctual, knowledgeable, and easy going. He makes it comfortable to workout/go to the gym. Also he is a supportive trainer who prioritizes your goals while holding you accountable and motivated. 10/10 would recommend without hesitation!!
Jason is a great trainer who prioritizes his clients and their goals above all else. I've been training with him for about a month and already notice a difference in my strength and overall fitness. He makes it comfortable to workout/go to the gym no matter your initial fitness level and is easy to talk to/get along with. Not to mention Jason is punctual, reliable, knowledgeable, and always looking for new ways to hold his clients accountable but still keeping them motivated. 10/10 would recommend!!
Ildiko is responsible and professional. Very happy with her service!
Charles is the BEST! I have had a number of trainers over the years and am a pretty avid exerciser on my own so it takes a lot for me to feel engaged and challenged. And Charles does just that. He is absolutely the best trainer I've ever had. Each session is challenging and interesting - the time actually flies by, which is not something I ever say about exercise. I honestly couldn't be happier with the progress I've made in my fitness journey with Charles' help, encouragement, and support!
I have been a member of Svetness for over a year. As a woman in my 50's I was not interested in sweaty gyms or loud, high-paced classes at a rec center. Having a trainer come to my home has been an excellent experience. The process started with a free intake interview to determine my needs and match them to a trainer. I've had two excellent trainers. They are knowledgeable, supportive, and responsive to my need for adaptation due to physical challenges. They have been flexible and communicative about scheduling, and will bring equipment if you don't have any. I have also been very pleased with the company itself. They are responsive to questions and were flexible in allowing a temporary suspension for some physical therapy. This program has been effective and a good value for the money. I recommend Svetness Personal Training to anyone looking for individual attention or special needs from a professional trainer.
I've had personal trainings my whole life and Andre from Svetness has been the best by far. His knowledge of how to train and the constant ways in which he switches things up is incredible. The whole company and team are so responsive and organized it's a pleasure working with them
I had the good fortune of meeting Andre at my gym and discussed personal training with him. We set up a training schedule as well as a diet plan. I have worked with personal trainers in the past and knew a little about form and training exercises. If you want a trainer who is "no nonsense", focused, not a "shouter", and will push you beyond what you feel you can do, then Andre is the trainer you need to work with. I highly recommend Andre to any individual who is serious about their training, training results and diet lifestyle.
Been training with Andre for over an year, he's such an amazing, talented, hard worker and hustler young man!! Also full of Knowledge and Experience in the Fitness and Health industry. Just looking forward to see what the future brings to him!
Ahmed understands each individual's capabilities. With his passion and experience, the desired results are achieved.
Charles is AMAZING and always convenient!! He makes working out not only fun but also an escape from the real world!! He not only shows how it's done he also educate you on what muscles you are working out and why that exercise is important at that time! I would highly recommend Charles services!
the trainer is more than wonderful and I have benefited a lot from him
Love the creative views he gives during workouts so that it effectively maximizes multiple muscle groups while exercising. HIghly efficient and knows his stuff. Great trainer for both me and my wife.
Wonderful Trainer! Inspiring and challenges me to work hard!
Only two meetings in and he's been really pushing me to be better at my fitness routine. I can't wait to work out more and get stronger. He's been a real motivation.
I recently started training with Sal and am already stronger ! He is very encouraging and is taking a wholistic approach including diet, exercise, and giving me great advice . As someone with a number of previous injuries, I find him very helpful in how to protect and strengthen those areas .
Eder Is GREAT! He pushes me to do the best I can every workout!
I love training with Allison. She is positive, encouraging and motivating. She knows which exercises target specific areas of the body, and she's designed a varied and challenging fitness program to help me meet my goals. She pushes me to go beyond what I think I can do while being consistently patient and positive. I feel comfortable trying new exercises even if I don't get them right or look ridiculous. I never thought I'd be able to do some of the exercises that Allison has me doing! I know I'm stronger now than when I started. She's a great trainer and I highly recommend her.
Great Trainer! Highly Recommend
Allison is the right trainer for me, an 83 year-old woman in good shape (post-two new hips) who intends to remain so. I've had trainers before from Svetness who were good in keeping limber, but after about six months with me in 2018, Allison set out explicit goals by the end of 2019 that relate to limber, strength, flexibility, balance and persistence. She is tough. She is stretching me....but she is keeping me on track. Life is good.
Awesome trainer who has met my goals now for over 8 months. We discussed my goals and how to meet them using calisthenics only. I have been super satisfied with my results with us using my local park to use the equipment they have and High Intensity-Interval Training(HIIT). He watches me like a hawk to make sure my form is good so that I get the most out of each exercise and pushes me when I need it. Through progression I am meeting my goals of becoming fitter and leaner. Took a chance and it's more than paid off in results.
I have had Georgi push me incredibly hard while making it worthwhile and motivating me during the effort. The reason someone hires a trainer is to make sure you take your workout further then you would take yourself while keeping you from injuring your body. All this while holding yourself accountable for goals to push results makes this the most effective way to accomplish getting fit.
Trained with Svet for years. Saw the results and trained to win an amateur fitness race at the beach. The cardio increase was much appreciated and the workout seemed like it was pushing me while not being a chore. Makes you think while training and helps you hold yourself accountable.
I love working out with Ildiko, she is patient, knowledgeable, organized, seriouse about her job and caring. She even saty longer to finish my work out for the day. Every question that I ask her, she spends time and do research to find me the best answer. She is a great health mentor as well. I'm learning a lot from her. She is always available to respond to my questions. I highly recommend her.
Was a great experience working with Ildiko. Will definitely continue.
My job can be very stressful & I had allowed myself to get really out of shape. So, last summer, I decided to find a personal trainer who would not only motivate me but to push me to put myself first, instead of always saying to myself "I will work out tomorrow…I will eat better tomorrow…One day won't make me fat". I researched several trainers and found Svetness personal training company. They assigned Daniel as my personal trainer. By far Daniel is the most professional, realistic and down to earth. He does not blow the "smoke" many trainers do, he also is the only trainer (and he is my 3rd…from the same company) who explains proper form and method behind his training. Best part, he is very very friendly and fun to work with :). Since working with Daniel, I feel very energetic and motivated. and I feel lot stronger than I used to be. If not for Daniel, I would absolutely be so stressed from work that I would be miserable (also fact that i am expecting my first child in couple of months), but thanks to Daniel, I can leave that from my mind! If you are thinking of going to a trainer, I cannot recommend Daniel enough, he is worth every penny and more! Do yourself a favor and call Svetness today and ask for Daniel!"
Ildiko is amazing. She is very knowledgeable and encouraging. Each workout is different and never boring. She pushes me to do more. In the past 3 months I have gotten stronger, lost inches and my clothes fit better. I highly recommend Ildiko. She is the best.
I've been training with Ildiko a few months now and she's honestly the best thing that happened on my fitness journey. She's considerate to certain pain points I have in my body, but always pushes me just enough to try harder and be better. Ildiko's attention to detail is also fantastic -- the number of times she's told me to change how I stand or hold something to get maximum effects is countless.
Lldiko is patient and very professional. She customly designs my training towards my goal. I strongly recommend her.
"Svet is a wonderful trainer who knows how far you can go, and kick your ass if necessary."
Amazing experince! I lost 45 Lbs!

Swedish storytelling - what´s happening here?
Nordic storytelling - and in Norway, Denmark, Finland & Estonia?
Ratatosk - a squirrel and an e-mail list
The Northern Storytelling Day - every spring equinox
World Storytelling Day - March 20th 2004
STORYTELLING IN SWEDEN is alive and growing. Like in the northern countries and everywhere on earth.
I have been active in this renaissance since the mid-eighties. These pages are a subbranch of my swedish website,
dedicated to my friends all over the world, and to those who want to get in contact with northern stories and storytellers.
I GREW UP in the north of Sweden where men are strong and silent. I am more of the weak
talkative type, so I moved south and became a storyteller.
A lot has happened since then! So much that you and my
fellow northerners will have to excuse me that I can´t show you the true and complete
picture of what´s going on. Below are a few glimpses, just to whet your appetite!
A small, somewhat scattered community of enthusiasts live in the beautiful city of Stockholm.
I and my friends Peter Hagberg and Mats Rehnman began organizing storytelling evenings for adults in 1991
at a place we called Cric Crac Café. Mats has renewed the tradition at Stallet, the "Stable".
This is a stage run by the swedish association for folk-music and dance.
In the late nineties I started a similar stage with Mikael Thomasson in Göteborg which is
a more relaxed and laid-back city than our capital. We call it "Hör och Häpna"
which is a common expression in swedish, meaning something like "Listen up and be Amazed!"
In summer there is storytelling outdoors around a camp-fire in Slottsskogen, "The Castle Forest".
Other centers for storytelling in Sweden are Lund and of course Ljungby,
where the yearly festival takes place.
Around the Ljungby storytelling festival is an organization of volunteers. There are also
local groups of storytellers in Skåne and in Göteborg.
We had a national network, but nowadays most contacts are informal.
But in spring 2003 Ida Junker restarted "Storytelling Network East" in Stockholm.
This summer they can be heard telling stories
under a tree in a square in the Old Town.
And since 2001 an electronic squirrel, Ratatosk, has been running madly all over the north
creating a virtual network. You will see him soon below!
Among the international storytellers who inspired the first wave of storytelling
in Sweden are Marcia Lane, a storyteller from New York who introduced us to the lively and witty jewish oral tradition,
Larry Johnsson and Elaine Wynne from Minneapolis, both with scandinavian ancestry,
who inspired many of us who love life stories, the extremely skillful french-norwegian Abbi Patrix
and the lovely Vauy Naidu from India.
Later, tellers like Pomme Clayton from London and the british-jamaican "storytelling-volcano"
Jan Blake have become our heroines.
Special to the swedish tradition are the storytelling cafés, where everyone can tell,
mostly life stories. Of course similar events happen in many places, but inspired by Göran Palm,
an author who has worked a lot with autobiographical writing, these kind of evenings
are sometimes very successful. For example, I have been involved in a project of collecting stories
about life at the shipyards in Göteborg. It is done in an open café setting and it has been
very enjoyable and fruitful.
The native people of Sweden (and the nordic countries) are the sami,
known among other things for their joik-singing. I have performed together with
a very good joiker, Inga Juuso from Norway. One of the swedish storytellers I
really like is a retired sami priest from Jokkmokk in the far north, Johan Märak.
Some of our folklorists also have close connections with
the storytelling movement. They are very proud of their archives,
with unbeleivable treasures of traditional stories and local legends.
A lot happens also in schools and pre-schools.
The general trend is a slow
development towards more storytelling. Guides, museums and freelance professional educators
are faster in rediscovering the power of stories. In swedish urban educated culture, any kind of speech is
underdeveloped compared to for example in somali and north american cultures. Swedish priests are so
boring that churches nowadays are successfully used for treating otherwise incurable cases of sleep disorders. The quality and quantity of
education in speech and talking in swedish schools is also remarkably low.
Ironically, the difficulties with growing groups of immigrant children with poor knowledge of swedish might help
in changing that. We have to find more powerful ways of working with language! That´s why oral storytelling
is desperately needed.
But let´s move on to our neighbouring countries!
>>> to the top of the page
In Norway, storytellers are very active and some of them are very well-trained in the art of storytelling.
They have a national organization, festivals, workshops and academic education in storytelling.
Marit Jerstad is the pioneer of the modern storytelling in Norway.
And Heidi Dahlsveen at "Fortellerkontoret"
is doing a lot of good work in promoting storytelling, including having trained one of the princesses
of Norway in telling fairy-tales.
Many norwegian tellers are heavily influenced by the british movement
and tend to work with mostly traditional material. In comparison we tell more life stories in Sweden.
And of course, they have a remarkable tradition to build on, the collection of Asbjörnsen and Moe,
with the world famous folktales including the Billy Goats Gruff.
In Denmark, storytellers can build on an oral tradition in adult education, inspired by Grundtvig.
Nowadays they have many really good and enjoyable tellers.
Some of them tell stories from the inuit (eskimo) people from Greenland.
They have a truly remarkable oral tradition which demands, I think, real cultural sensitivity.
These stories can not be told with a sentimental hollywood accent.
In Finland, a network of storytellers was organized by Neppe Petterson in 2002.
Her friends include mainly swedish-speaking finlanders. What happens among the finnish speaking finns
is still a mystery to me. But I know that finnish folkloric research has a great tradition.
And you already know that Kalevala is a finnish epic, don´t you?
In Tallinn in Estonia is Piret Päär doing a great job of
inspiring and organizing storytelling.
I am, by the way, 25% finnish, 25% norwegian and also I am fully swedish.
Most scandinavians can understand each others languages, sometimes with great difficulties however.
But finnish is a completely different language, closer to estonian and hungarian.
There are a lot of interesting contacts between nordic storytellers.
Since -91, there has been nordic summer workshops with participants from primarily Sweden, Norway and
Denmark. This has become a remarkably self-organizing tradition.
>>> to the top of the page
Nowadays we keep in contact through an e-mail list. I and Beate Eiklid in Oslo started it two years ago. Now there are 110
subscribers. We named it after Ratatosk, the squirrel in Yggdrasil, the world tree in scandinavian mythology.
He is said to carry messages or insults between a dragon gnawing at the roots and a huge eagle at the top.
Through Ratatosk you can reach many of the active storytellers and organizers in Scandinavia.
Everyone on the list understands english, so if you can read this, you can use the list.
If you have read this far, you really must be interested in storytelling in Sweden and the
northern countries. If so, you might also be interested in participating in the yearly northern
storytelling day on spring equinox. No you don´t have to travel here, and you won´t have to learn swedish.
The idea is similar to the US "tellabration", everyone does something where they live.
It can be small or big, as long as it is storytelling anyone can join. We will publish a list
of all events. You can use it as an inspiration and in marketing.
There is also a painting by Mats Rehnman which can be used in connection with this.
Please note that any other use of this artwork is strictly forbidden.
We sometimes agree upon certain stories which we can use if we want to. This year some of us will tell "The Death of Balder"
from the northern mythology which the icelander Snorre Sturlasson saved for all of us to enjoy.
Last year it was "Nail Soup", which is the only story so far in the story archive.
But it includes a wonderful version from Estonia by Piret Päär.
Or is Nail Soup perhaps a variant of the estonian story? Or is it originally russian?
Please don´t bother, just tell your own version!
WORLD STORYTELLING DAY - March 20th 2004
Perhaps the Northern Storytelling Day will join the World in 2004. Because since spring 2003, storytellers all over the world have been discussing a new World Storytelling Day.
If you want to join in the fun, please get in contact with me!
Read more!
>>> to the top of the page
"Swedish storytelling" is also for some obscure reason, the name of an
exercise from the improvisational theatre tradition. You come up with
a big thing, a small thing, and something alive. Then you tell a story
incorporating these three things. So now you can tell swedish stories
without having to learn the language!

New. Different. Secure. And, first and foremost very easy and convenient.
Do you have the feeling that your premises are not secure enough? Do you know everyone who has a key? Do you have people who should have restrictive access but not every day and not at any time. Maybe you have areas that need to be specially protected, because of sensitive data, customer files, restricted substances, or special security requirements? Or do you just want to go home after work with an easy mind?
No matter what your security motivation is and what an access solution needs you have – with exivo one thing is sure: it will all be easy and convenient. Critical doors are secured and monitored by electronic and wireless locking components in proven dormakaba quality. Complete control over access media ensures maximum security and flexibility. Access rights can be changed or cancelled for individual employees at any time. All other doors are secured as usual with keys and mechanical locking systems, which can also be managed over exivo system.
exivo is run over the web-based dormakaba platform, accessible to you and, if necessary, your exivo partner. You decide which tasks you wish to manage yourself and which should be hosted by your exivo partner. No server, additional computer or software are required on site. We developed exivo especially for companies that need an access solution, but don't want to waste time on managing it. After all, you prefer to focus on your core business – and not on organising access control solutions. Even if your exivo partner manages everything for you, you will always have full cost control with no unpleasant surprises – thanks to fixed running and service rates.
For more information on exivo we kindly ask you to visit this website.

CRC-SPORE Investigator meeting. Dr. Chernoff presented an update on "Targeting the Kinome in KRAS Mutant Colorectal Cancer Project."
Important COVID-19 Information for Patients. READ NOW
Now offering Phone and Video Appointments
The TRDGs strive to recognize and develop opportunities for collaborative translational research directions by providing a focused forum for exchange of information among a diverse group of stake-holders interested in a particular disease site. Before each meeting, depending on the particular expertise, participants are asked to review/be prepared to discuss the current disease site early phase investigational protocols at FCCC, the potential opportunities in industry with available targeted agents, potential collaborations with other institutions that have activated protocols with novel agents, specific molecular targets or signaling pathways for the disease site at FCCC, resistance mechanisms, potential biomarkers that can be incorporated into protocols, and the major open questions for the disease site or other more general questions in the field that could be addressed for the disease site.
CRC-SPORE Investigator meeting. Dr. Chernoff presented an update on "Targeting the Kinome in KRAS Mutant Colorectal Cancer Project."
CRC-SPORE Investigator meeting. Drs. Clapper and Cooper presented an update on "MicroRNA Signature for the Detection of Flat and Polypoid Colitis-Associated Colorectal Neoplasias Project."
CRC-SPORE Investigator meeting. Dr. Waldman and Weinberg presented an update on "Preventing Colorectal Cancer in Familial Adenomaous (FAP) Project."
Dr. James Duncan spoke about "Targeting the kinome in K-ras mutant colorectal cancer". He described the human kinome, the kinome screen he developed and published in Cell when he was at UNC and discussed questions regarding resistance and creating new therapy options. There was discussion about approaches for acquired versus intrinsic resistance to therapy. Dr. Duncan spoke about dynamic reprogramming that involves a rapid change in other kinases to allow cancer cell survival and that he is evaluating this in the context of various drivers. Dr. Duncan went onto details of specific therapies where reprogramming is involved. He described in detail his assay for proteomic profiling of tumors. He spoke about KRAS in CRC and mentioned work by Kevin Shokat at UCSF with KRAS G12C and a specific therapy targeting that mutant. Dr. Duncan described efforts to profile the kinome in cells with different mutants and their potential impact on kinome reprogramming.
DFS also did not see much difference. The results were recently published (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23280333). He looked at hyperinsulinemia; C-peptide and IGFBP. High insulin and reduced IGFBP associated with higher mortality.
Diabetes was associated with worse outcomes (both OS and DFS) for stages I-III but not a big difference in stage IV. Dyslipidemia appeared to be associated with better outcomes (OS and DFS) in CRC by stage although not a big effect by stage IV. Dr. Esnaola discussed some directions going forward based on the results and their implications for screening different populations at risk. Collapse
Dr. Niklas Finnberg spoke about establishing normal and cancer organoids. The success rate is low (10-15%) for establishing 2D culture of human tumors. The success rate is higher for 3D culture (71% from biopsies ~90% from resected tissue). The PDX success rate is 23-75% but takes 6-8 months to establish. The take rate in PDX is higher for metastatic lesions than primary tumors. Organoids have been generated from multiple tissues. Dr. Finnberg reviewed organoid culture results from Clevers in Nature in 2008. R-spondin binds lgr4, 5 and activates wnt signaling. He showed growth of intestinal organoids and potential for genetic manipulation with p53F/F appeared to have growth advantage in the context of an organoid. Colonic crypts are much more difficult in plating (1-3%) versus small intestinal organoids (90%). ALK, p38 inhibitors and wnt3a supplementation has been reported by Clevers in Gastroenterology 2011. Current media for organoid culture is complicated with >15 components including valproic acid, PGE2, Rho kinase inhib, Noggin, EGF, Gastrin, Pen/strep, DMEM, Glutamax, wnt3A conditioned media, R-spondin, A83-01, SB202, CHR99021, B27, NAC, HEPES. Dr. Finnberg described a colon cancer from a patient with juvenile polyposis where normal organoids and tumor tissue was cultured. Tumor tissue culture leaves out wnt3a. The Clevers Cell paper from 2015 described prospective derivation of a living organoid biobank of colorectal cancer patients. This paper showed histology of the tumor organoids. They tested 81 drugs. Correlated KRAS with poor cetuximab sensitivity. There are sensitivities without genetic biomarkers. This paper didn't correlate clinical outcomes with organoid sensivities. There was discussion on Znf43 that can be mutated and is also seen in pancreatic cancer. The Tuveson lab has made correlation between organoid sensitivity with sensitivity to drugs in patients. There was discussion of results from FCCC where normal and tumor organoids were established and general discussion of feasibility and plans going forward.
Dr. Joshua Meyer spoke about genomic analysis and the impact of age on CRC development. He described his previous work (Meyer, Cancer, 2010) where he observed increasing rates of rectal cancer in young people (under age 40) but didn't see that for colon cancer. The rates of rectal cancer have been increasing since 1985. More recently (Meyer, JNCI, 2015) looked at lymph node status by age. The younger patients with rectal cancer were more likely to have positive lymph nodes. There is a correlation with worse survival with more positive lymph nodes in all age groups. Similar trends were observed with more lymph nodes in younger patients with colon cancer. Dr. Meyers referred to TCGA, Nature, 2012 looking at hypermutated tumors versus non-hypermutated tumors. TGF-beta and BRAF enriched in hypermutated tumors while IGF2, miR-483 were upregulated in non-hypermutated cancers. Dr. Meyers described ongoing collaborative analysis in colon versus rectal cancers and differences between younger versus older patients. He also mentioned CGI-066 assessing intra-tumoral heterogeneity and chemo-RT response in locally advanced rectal cancer utilizing DNA sequencing and PET/CT. 17 accrued, 13 analyzed and he presented preliminary findings. Plans include collecting 40 patients looking for response to chemo-RT.
There was discussion of an NCCN grant submission opportunity and discussion about EPCRS. Dr. El-Deiry provided an update on the CRC-SPORE with action items including contact with the NCI and working with the grants office to have a clear timeline for the document. Dr. Finnberg introduced his interest in checkpoint kinases and interest in targeting checkpoint kinases to impact on the toxicity of chemotherapy.
Dr. Alfonso Bellacosa spoke about DNA repair and translational directions. DNA repair prevents accumulation of mutations in cancer. DNA repair affects methylation as well. He spoke about gene discovery via exome sequencing of high-risk families and presented some data on families in Italy with colon cancer and other rare tumors. MED1 and TDG are involved in mutation avoidance for mutations that arise from deamination of methylated-C. MBD4/MED1 are frequently mutated in MSI tumors. He spoke about contribution to genomic instability MDB4 plus MMR defect leads to a significant rise in C-to-T transitions. TDG is involved in demethylation in addition to mutation avoidance. TET1 is also involved in demethylation. Dr. Bellacosa hypothesized that defects in TET1 or TDG could lead to hypermethylation. Alterations in TET1 are very frequent in CRC. He described biomarkers that are seen with TDG defects. He presented additional results in mouse models. There was some discussion of potential translational directions using biomarkers as well as strategies targeting vulnerabilities in cancer.
CRC-SPORE External Advisory Board Meeting. Dr. El-Deiry presented the Program Schematic and Administrative Structure, Advisory Boards, Funding Base, and an overall Program Overview. There was discussion of candidate projects and Cores including Project 1 Targeting c-MET in BRCA-mutant colorectal cancer: El-Deiry, Olszanski & colleagues, Project 2 Clinical implications of microbiome heterogeneity in colon cancer: Issa, Sigurdson, & colleagues, Project 3 Targeting the kinome in KRAS mutant colon cancer: Chernoff, Cohen, Duncan & colleagues, Project 4 MicroRNA signature for the detection of flat and polypoid colitis-associated colorectal neoplasias: Clapper, Cooper & colleagues, and Project 5 Paracrine hormone hypothesis of colorectal cancer: Waldman, Weinberg & colleagues as well as Project 6 Dependence receptors and colorectal cancer: Grady & colleagues. Dr. El-deiry presented Core A Administration, and Core B Biostatistics and Bioinformatics was presented by Ross & colleagues, and Core C Pathology was presented by Connolly, and Cooper. Several candidate Career Enhancement and Developmental Projects were presented including Career Enhancement Project 1 Immunotherapy of CRC via next generation BiTEs: Robinson, Developmental Project 1 Alteration of DNA demethylation in CRC: Epigenetic biomarkers and implications for therapy: Bellacosa, Developmental Project 2 Role of Rpl22 loss in promoting colorectal cancer development and treatment resistance: Wiest, Career Enhancement Project 2 Tumor microenvironment, tumor elicited inflammation and colon cancer: Grivennikov.

The controlling of medical costs in countries such as Britain through rationing, and the health consequences thereof are legendary. The stories of people dying on a waiting list or being denied altogether read like a horror movie script.
The U.K.'s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) basically figures out who deserves treatment by using a cost-utility analysis based on the "quality adjusted life year."
One year in perfect health gets you one point. Deductions are taken for blindness, for being in a wheelchair and so on.
The more points you have, the more your life is considered worth saving, and the likelier you are to get care.
People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless.
The British are praised for spending half as much per capita on medical care. How they do it is another matter. The NICE people say that Britain cannot afford to spend $20,000 to extend a life by six months. So if care will cost $1 more, you get to curl up in a corner and die.
In March, NICE ruled against the use of two drugs, Lapatinib and Sutent, that prolong the life of those with certain forms of breast and stomach cancer.
The British have succeeded in putting a price tag on human life, as we are about to.
Can't happen here, you say? "One troubling provision of the House bill," writes Betsy McCaughey in the New York Post, "compels seniors to submit to a counseling session every five years (and more often if they become sick or go into a nursing home) about alternatives for end-of-life care (House bill, Pages 425-430)."

Today's Top Stories
Consumer Reports reveals more than half of the raw ground turkey tested had fecal bacteria and superbugs.
Consumer Reports recently released the results of a nationwide test of raw ground turkey packages and patties from a number of processors and retailers. About 90 percent of the 257 samples had at least one of five bacteria strains researchers were testing for. The two most frequent strains––present in more than half of the meat samples––were E. coli and enterococcus, which are also found in fecal matter, and nearly all of the samples contained antibiotic resistant superbugs. Mother Jones reports that turkey supplier Cargill attempted to resolve multiple salmonella outbreaks over the last two years by increasing antibacterial washes used on the meat, and that 80 percent of antibiotics in the US go to agriculture.

South San Francisco, CA February 9, 2017 Submitted by SSFPD
Since November of last year, the subject pictured in this photograph has been victimizing the senior community by committing multiple wallet thefts at locations in the El Camino corridor in South San Francisco and other neighboring cities in the Peninsula. The subject contacts her victims, usually senior female elderly victims, and gains their attention. Once she has their attention and refocuses their line of sight on something else, the suspect places her hands into the victim's purses and takes their wallets. Aside from cash and other valuables, the suspect uses the victim's credit cards at department and convenience stores throughout the Peninsula.
This subject specifically targets elderly female victims, so please be aware of your surroundings and do not leave purses or other valuables unattended, especially if purses are left in shopping carts, which this subject has an affinity for targeting. The subject has not been identified or captured and continues her crime spree and continues to target elderly female victims.
If you recognize the suspect or have any suspect information please contact the South San Francisco Police Department at 650-877-8900 or at the anonymous tip line 650-952-2244.

Lyme disease is highly prevalent in our area. It is caused by an organism called Borrelia burgdorferi, which is spread by the deer tick. We see many dogs with clinical signs of the disease and many more test positive for exposure to Lyme disease.
The most common symptom of Lyme disease is lameness that sometimes shifts from one leg to another. Other signs are lethargy, fever, and loss of appetite. Rarely the organism will affect the kidneys, which can be fatal. Dogs do not show the typical "bullseye" shaped rash, which is classic in the human form.
We can diagnosis Lyme disease very easily by a simple blood test that also tests for Heartworm and Ehrlichia (another disease spread by ticks). A positive results means that the dog has been exposed to the disease, but it is not necessarily symptomatic. The symptoms can occur at any time but it is estimated that only about 5-10% of positive dogs will ever get the clinical disease.
Since the test we routinely perform only indicates whether a dog has been exposed to the organism, we need to do another test to determine whether the dog has an active Lyme disease infection and should be treated. This test is called the Quantitative C6 Antibody test and we will usually have the results within one to two days.
Lyme disease is treated with an antibiotic called doxycycline. It is given once daily for 28 days. There is some research showing that the Lyme vaccine can have some activity against the organism so we recommend that a dog testing positive for Lyme disease be vaccinated if it hasn't been already.
If your dog tests positive on our in-house test, don't panic. We will give you three options on what to do next:
- Perform Quantitative C6 Antibody test to determine whether or not treatment is warranted;
- Treat your dog with doxycycline anyway even though we can't tell if it is an active Lyme infection, or
- Do nothing and treat your dog if it starts showing symptoms. We advise that all symptomatic dogs be treated.
In severe cases of Lyme disease, dogs may develop kidney damage. For this reason we recommend closely monitoring the urine for protein leakage and blood tests to check for kidney disease. The veterinarians will discuss the testing needed to be sure that your dog does not have kidney damage.
Since the disease is spread by ticks, the best prevention is tick control with a monthly topical product or collar. A tick must be attached for over one to two days in order for the disease to be transmitted, so daily tick checks are of utmost importance.
At this time, there have been no reported cases of Lyme disease in cats. It is believed that cats do get Lyme disease, but are able to clear it from their system. No vaccine is currently available for cats at this time. Topical tick control is available and recommended for cats as well. More research is being done on just how the disease affects cats.

Cheat Sheet:
- A stock split divides up the company into more shares so each share is more affordable.
- The overall company's value doesn't change, nor does the total dollar amount of stock you own.
- Stock splits are decided by the company's board of directors.
Owning 1 share of stock worth $50 is the same thing as owning 2 shares worth $25 a piece, right? A stock split divides the company into more shares so that each share is more affordable.

Peter KellfurSuperstar Photographer in London
Nikon d500
How long have you been a photographer?
I've been working as a professional photographer for 2 years. I'm based in London and love traveling throughout the city to shoot lots of different projects.
Favourite shooting styles?
I shoot everything from real estate photography to portraits, weddings, and fashion shoots, so I try to make sure that my style is appropriate within the context of each setting; be that clean-cut and professional, or glamorous and flashy!
I'm quite an active person, so things like a nice game of outdoor tennis or an exciting travel adventure are great ways to use up all of my energy!
Perfect day out?
I'd say ten hours of non-stop shooting – haha! You might say I'm a bit of a workaholic…
Photography inspirations?
Cartier-Bresson is a classic and one of my all-time favourites. Jordan Matter's current work is also pretty exciting stuff.

I love Yamamori Mika's characters.
ひるなかの流星, and Suzume, particularly, is absolutely nothing like me and she's just really pretty cool? I like the way she charges through life, boldly and just. Herself. As cheesy as it sounds, that itself is equally admirable. I remember this one scene in particular where she ties up her hare for an image change, smacks her cheeks once, and then picks herself up after falling into a bad spot – figuratively. Mamura is super cute, too. He's awkward and bumbling and sometimes overthinks his way into embarrassing situations, but his straight-forward attempts and makes him feel genuine and endearing (and me sound like a grandmother. Look at these soft children trying to live their best lives!!). His family dynamics are wholesome and fluffy as well, and just what the story needs. Yuyuka, from love-rival to best friend, is a grounding force amidst the fluffy, bumbling main characters. Shishio, with his hipster-y off-day look and boisterous facade, is interesting and a needed addition, variety and color to ひるなかの流星's cast of characters. Just purely based off of character line-up, and ひるなかの流星 is fluffy-cute and promising.
It is fluffy-cute! The character dynamics are just as bumbling, sweet, and endearing as you'd expect, and that, coupled with adorable artwork? It'd be stranger if it didn't work out.
Buuuut, my only qualm? I wish the student/teacher trope would die out already. Shishio works just as well (maybe even better, honestly, especially in some of his scenes with Mamura) as a fellow student, and his dynamics with Suzume's father can be kept if he was a slightly older student.
But, she ends up with Mamura. The people around her raise similar questions about the nature of her and Shishio's relationship. It's painted as a first love vs. lasting love, someone whose back you admire vs. someone who's there to walk every step with you, and that in itself is a pretty nice sentiment.
Enter, 椿町ロンリープラネット.
First off, I'm an Aesthetic Bitch™ so of course I'm in love with the title.
You thought ひるなかの流星 was the end of it, bUT. The age gap here too bothers me A Lot (twenty-eight and sixteen?), and the constant reminders that Fumi is responsible and capable and wise beyond her years does absolutely zip zero zilch to assuage those rumors.
So, 椿町ロンリープラネット follows ひるなかの流星. I see way too much of myself in Fumi and Akatsuki, so their little monologues and baby steps to individual self-improvement are actually really nice to read, motivating, in a way, and heartwarming in another, and the reason I've stuck it out with the story so far? Well, that and the adorable artwork. Of course.
BUT, and yes, there's another Big But: I don't like how Akatsuki uses Fumi as his emotional crutch. Call me an idealist, but I like to think that any kind of genuine, happy, healthy relationship should be a two-way street. Here, Fumi is the only one providing emotional output (for the lack of better words; re-reading this, and wOW can y'all guess what kind of field I'm in). Genuine, happy, healthy relationship? Noooot quite. She ends up occupying this odd multi-status as Akatsuki's Mom, Caretaker, Girlfriend, Charge, Housekeeper, aND Therapist and that's far too much for anyone, let alone high-schooler, a sixteen-year-old.
So, as 椿町ロンリープラネット winds down, I can't help but think of how much it follows ひるなかの流星. Not in the story, per say, and not exactly by means of the characters, either, though both casts do share the quality of being colorful and endearing – but in the way the casts seem to always be fluffy-cute, down-to-earth, and full of potential, yet the main characters' romantic plots are always written into less-than-idea scenarios that, had they been written/drawn by anyone else, I probably wouldn't have picked up.
I wrote out this long thing, practically a monster-sized musing to myself at this point, but TL;DR? I really liked ひるなかの流星, and I liked 椿町ロンリープラネット, but I feel like that was 100% because of the characters, and if the main romantic relationships hadn't been so blatantly imbalanced, I think I would've enjoyed them a lot better? Yes.

Mark Stephens' yoga teacher training provided for me what I've come to recognize as the indispensable trinity of anatomical knowledge, yogic philosophy and hands on experience. The training helped me tremendously with finding my own personal voice and approach as a teacher, in addition to teaching me how to safely guide my students (and myself) in and out of postures.
Whether you are an experienced practitioner and a teacher looking to expand your technical understanding of the practice, or a beginning student on the yogic path, Mark's training is thorough, detailed, and comprehensive in scope to guide you expertly along the way.
I highly recommend Mark's yoga teacher training to anyone who is looking to deepen their knowledge of not only teaching, but of yoga.
