For the second year in a row Drishti Yoga Teacher Training announces their first Yoga Teacher Training in 2015 will again be in Thailand from February 5- March 1, 2015.

Limited spots are available for the course. Drishti will limit participation to only 20 students to ensure an excellent student to teacher ratio.

The location will be on the small remote Island of Koh Phangan. While the Island is quite known for its full moon parties, there is a whole other side that is quiet and secluded making it the perfect tranquil setting for our Yoga studies, explains Co-Founder Sarah Walsh. The Drishti Yoga Teacher Training in Thailand will be held right on the beach with stunning sunsets to cap off each day. We specifically chose Koh Phangan because of the laid back, casual vibe of the island and its low cost. Students can take advantage of inexpensive Thai massages, take a daily dip in the sea or even try out Muay Thai Boxing at the local outdoor boxing gym.

Students will have a chance to participate in Seva or selfless service by going out into the community and volunteering. Honoring the locals and giving back to the community is part of Drishti Yoga Teacher Training main messages and belief. We clean up the beach almost everywhere we go, says Co-Founder Carri Uranga.

The main problem associated with our indigenous medical knowledge is that it had not been shared with society in general, Technology and Research Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka said.

The minister was participating in a forum on indigenous knowledge on medicine at the National Science Foundation last Tuesday. He said this valuable knowledge was limited to a few Aryurvedic doctors, and they passed on this knowledge only to their children and family, thereby obstructing the path to disseminate this knowledge to a wider section of the society.

He said indigenous medical knowledge now in possession with a few individuals and their descendants should be socialized to conserve and develop it.

Ranawaka said exploring our indigenous knowledge accumulated over thousands of years has become a timely necessity. The minister said indigenous medical knowledge must be treated with equal importance, adding that its credibility must be enhanced.

The general opinion is that indigenous medical knowledge is non-scientific. This knowledge cannot be comprehended only through laboratory tests. It is also associated with spirituality.The indigenous knowledge of one culture is different to another. The attempt to measure indigenous medical practices based on the criteria of Western medical practice is futile. The success rate of our indigenous medical practitioners is very high and this indicates the power of our indigenous knowledge, he said.

Over 60 indigenous medical doctors and intellectuals participated in the forum.

Members of the Satellite Amateur Radio Club put their emergency communication skills to the test when they participated in a Field Day exercise Saturday and Sunday at the groups compound, about two miles southeast of Casmalia.

The annual preparedness event brings together amateur radio operators from throughout North and South America who are committed to assisting their communities in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. Field Day is sponsored by the American RadioRelay League (ARRL), the national association for amateur radio.

Amateur radio is a lot of fun, but we also practice our emergency skills, said Eric Lemmon, SARC facility manager and license trustee. Ham radio operators can play a vital communications role during disasters, and events such as Field Day ensure that were ready to support the Red Cross, FEMA, and the Department of Homeland Security.

Field Day is designed to test operators abilities to set up and operate stations in the field under emergency conditions, using only generator, solar or wind power and makeshift antennas. During the weekend event, operators contacted as many other Field Day stations as possible, simulating the fast on-air skills needed to assist local and state authorities during an actual emergency.

Many thousands of Hams participate in each years Field Day. The first Field Day was held in 1933.

Setup for this years Field Day began on Friday, with operation commencing at 11 a.m. Saturday and continuing for 24 hours.

For more information about this event or amateur radio in general, contact Eric Lemmon at 733-4416.
