February 2010 Announcements

AOL Delivery

It has come to our attention that more than 90% of our AOL subscribers did not receive last week’s newsletter. Aura has been in contact with AOL; however, AOL has stated that there is no block on our newsletters. Our suggestion is if you have an alternate Email, such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc., please switch your subscription preferences to use that address. This problem is unique only to AOL and no other ISP/ Email provider.

If you keep your newsletter preferences (with AOL being your Email address), you will most likely receive the newsletters, but the delivery will be sporadic; you may not receive updated information about the latest news, articles, video, and offers.

I am also an AOL member, and my newsletters are being blocked, as well. This does create a situation, where my mail is being screened, without my permission. Many Yoga Teacher Training Interns contact me at my AOL address. While this will continue, I will be adding an alternate Email address for student support. The reasoning being – that I want to ensure you are able to reach me, and I am able to reach you, without interruption. My new Email address will be paul@yoga-teacher-training.org

Although my AOL address will still be active, I encourage all of our Yoga Teacher Training Interns to contact me at the new address.  General questions can still be answered, by replying to the newsletter, or contacting info@yoga-teacher-training.org directly.

Exams

Unfortunately, no matter how many exams we grade per day, we can never complete the grading of them all. Typically, 5 – 9 exams arrive each day, which has kept our turnaround time at about 3 weeks. There are a number of issues that will help us improve the time it takes to process exams. Please enter your name, address, Email, and telephone number to the heading of any written work. When submitting your DVDs, please enter all of your contact information, on the DVD, or on the case.

From this day forward, exams submitted without contact information, will not be graded. The time it takes to research our files, and make an educated guess, as to which exam belongs to which student, has taken a large segment of time that could be put to better use by grading exams. We are confident this will be an effective solution to help reduce our turnaround times.
