So recently I was visiting my sister and brother in VA and was on 81 and half way into Staunton area I realized that my phone has 4G LTE Signal I was like really wow in the middle of no where? I checked the speed it was pretty decent not so bad. So I decided to keep an eye on it and see how long I'll have it for. To my surprise I had it all the way to Winchester, VA after that I got off the exit and it disappeared after few miles. Believe it or not it wasn't even available in Arlington, VA, DC area, Leesburg, VA. I do not understand what are Sprints plans for introducing 4G LTE Coverage. Almost seems like Sprint is way over their head when it comes to providing 4G LTE Coverage. They are actually putting 4G LTE Coverage in small areas and not where there is actually demand for it because of the population. Check out the map below from their website:
So according to Sprint providing 4G LTE Coverage to small areas like Lost River, VA, Harrisonburg, VA, Winchester, VA etc makes sense but they want to take their good old time to provide 4G LTE Coverage to busy metro areas where there is a demand for it. As my previous article explains that there is some 4G LTE Signal I noticed in Brentwood and Franklin area by the Cool Springs Mall. Also I was able to get very little 4G LTE Signal in Memphis area. Oh and where ever Sprint has 4G LTE Signal it is so not as fast as Verizon's 4G LTE. But honestly I'll be happy with this as long as they decide to finish their 4G LTE Coverage expansion in this decade hopefully.
If they can not do it then I don't think it is ethical for Sprint to market and advertise constantly in these areas that there will be 4G LTE available soon. Unless to Sprint the word "soon" equals years or whenever they feel like it. Another thing to keep in mind when signing up for Sprint because of their unlimited 4G LTE service. Yes it is unlimited "if you are lucky enough to get the signal lol", but it cost a whole lot more money if you want to use your Sprint phone as a Hot Spot. $50 per month for 6GB of data. With all the technology and progress, Access to the Internet and Cell Networks etc should be going down not up. Moreover it is not fair that Sprint users have to pay extra for the premium data usage when it is not even available to us.

I bought a Sprint 4G LTE phone back in June because I was interested in Sprints Unlimited 4G LTE Plan. I was told that Sprint 4G LTE should be available by Auguest 2012 in Nashville, TN area. Well I knew for certain that there is no way Sprint will be able to complete that mark as the providers and ISP's never do. I figured September, October might be the months. November came, and then December and no coverage. They said that they did some capacity upgrades in the area for 3G Coverage well that made even the 3G Coverage worst. Any ways so today I was sitting at work in Brentwood, TN and happen to look at my phone because the message light was flashing and all of a sudden I realize it said towards the top it said 4G. I was kinda surprised and thought it must be a mistake, something is probably wrong with the phone.
I proceeded to Sprints Website to check out the Sprint 4G LTE coverage and the I got the results below:
From the screen shot you can see that it does not show that there is 4G LTE coverage yet available in Nashville, TN area. However when I tested my speed I got pretty nice 4G LTE speeds. So I believe Sprint finally have SOME 4G LTE coverage in Nashville, TN area. Perhaps Sprints' horrible 3G Speeds was related with the Sprints' 4G LTE turn on or perhaps not important thing is that we (Sprint users) finally have some Sprint 4G LTE in Nashville area. I know even though it is still not like Verizon's 4G LTE coverage but I am still excited. Finally us Sprint users can taste Sprints 4G LTE Coverage and hopefully Sprint will complete our great City Nashville and surrounding areas for 4G LTE Coverage.
If you are a Sprint user please feel free to share the areas you get Sprint 4G LTE Signal :). Image from my speed tests:

Recently I got a new job and after I started the job I realized that things are a bit different there. They are kind of strict with giving out laptops so I ended up with a desktop, single monitor and my manager had to talk to the desk top services manager to get me Microsoft Office. According to them I didn't need it since I'm a network guy and will be working on Cisco networking gear, at least that is the impression I got.
Any ways once all was done and I was working on a network one day I realized that it would be a good idea to start creating Network diagrams using Microsoft Visio for future troubleshooting purposes. As they did not have the network layout of any site. So I did what I usually do, Start, Run and then typed "visio" and hit Enter (yeah I know I like to use keyboard as much as I can got it from using Linux and Cisco equipment. Once I hit "Enter" I got an error message basically telling me that I do not have Microsoft Vision on my computer. I was like blehhhhh… now what. I knew about Open Office and google docs but I didn't know of any Open Source Microsoft Vision alternate solution.
After a little research I found an excellent software that was free and full of features just like Microsoft Visio called DIA. DIA is available for Microsoft Windows, as well as Linux, I downloaded it right away from DIA's website and started making my diagrams. It wasn't as user friendly as Microsoft Visio but after spending few min on it I was able to easily use it as if I would use Microsoft Visio.
Take a look at these two diagrams that I made using DIA.
So if you are looking for an alternate and free solution to Microsoft Visio check out:

Talk about ISP mess up, I work for a major health care related company and we have over 800+ clients. I got a notification yesterday that one of our location is down. So I took the ticket and started to investigate. They are using CenturyLink previously Embarq as their DSL Provider. Well I noticed something strange. I wasn't able to Ping the VPN IP but I was able to ping the gateway as well as our routers IP. So I thought there might be an issue with the VPN only, I tried to log into the router and I couldn't believe my eyes. I was looking at a log in banner of another company.
I knew exactly what happened. Some one messed up some where and they ended up giving our Static IP to someone else. As the ptr record was showing a mail server on that particular IP. So I called them up was on the phone for 20 min and they had no clue what happened, so I hung up so that I can call the customer back and let them know what happened. Certainly customer was furious and not happy as they were not able to work for almost a day now.
Then I call them back and after being on the phone with them for approximately an hour and a half we received new IP's, I tried to get the same old IP's but their supervisor said that they can't give us the old IP's and it is our responsibility to configure out equipment with the new IP's. Thank God customer had a console cable and I was able to log into one of the computers there and reconfigure our Cisco 851W router with the new information.
But fact still remains that CenturyLink messed up big time and they wouldn't agree on giving us even service credit. They caused down time, it was their mistake so the least the could have done was offer us couple of months of free service but their answer was, we are very sorry that this happened you have two new IP's configure your equipment and that is the end of it.
So remember if you are using Cisco equipment for your clients make sure you have a Cisco Console Cable available for remote troubleshooting will save you lots of time and headache.

I have recently started working on my IT consulting business to do some consulting work on the side. And I was looking for something that will give me all the features a small IT Consulting business would require and it would be cost effective as well. Some of the key features I was looking for are:
Finding all these features in one single product that is cost effective and available online was to good to be true. I contacted a few programmers and they all wanted to charge lots of money to do this. And then one day I ended up on Fresh Books website and I was amazed by the product, pricing and all the features they offer.
They offer a free version that limits you to to only 3 clients, after taking their online tour I immediately signed up for this Online invoicing and support ticketing solution and started test driving it. I was able to customize every thing in there, Upload my logo, customize my emails, invoices, inventory, client logins, login pages and much more. Their pricing starts from $19/month and goes upto $150/month but the ROI – return on investment is absolutely worth it. I can now manage EVERYTHING from location I do not need multiple programs for support ticketing, invetory and invoicing and project management. More over I can accomplish this from any where I have internet access. You can even access your account from iPhone and/or Windows Mobile devices. Track your time on the go and bill for the exact time no more guess work. No more worrying about if your clients have paid or not, this system can automatically send emails when you specify and send late payment reminders.
Like I mentioned they offer a free fully functional product that enables you to manage 3 clients. Give it a shot, visit Fresh Books – An online invoicing and support ticketing system and see for yourself.

I realized this year that I really need to cut down on my expenses, with the economy and job market paying bills is getting more and more difficult every day for middle class and lower middle class to be able to afford simple things.
After doing some thinking and a little research I found out I can eliminate certain monthly expenses easily with a little work. Now there is no guarantee that this will work for every one, or you will get rich over night etc, this is just something I started to do and is slowly working for me.
First step is to identify your needs and wants. For instance I want the fast internet access and all kinds of channels, DVR's in every room etc but do I need it? No I don't. Do I need to eat out every day? It is amazing how much money we waste eating Breakfast out, lunch and/or Dinner. Now if you have loads of money well go for it but, if you can't afford it and living pay check to pay check like me it is just not a very good idea and will get you scrounging for change towards the end of the week. So lets see what I did.
1- Bank Fees:
Fact is Bank Fees suck, monthly service fee, cashiers check fee, check writing fee, ATM fee and worst of all Over Draft Fee. Many people don't pay attention to it and let it go and let banks get away with this but after my horrible experience with Commerce Bank, now TD Bank, I realized this is wrong. If my bank gets over drawn a dollar or even a penny TD Bank decided they are going to charge me, well after couple of months I gave up, closed my account with TD Bank and started to do some research. I ended up opening an account with Bank of America.
They gave me a free checking account since I was setting up my direct deposit, no monthly fees of any kind, no check writing fees, I even got my first order of checks for free, they also have an awesome savings plan called "Keep the Change". The way it works is if I use my debt card to buy something for $1.50, they will round it to $2.00 and the 0.50 cents will go into my savings. It is like taking all your change and putting it in the savings account. Another cool thing they will match your "Keep the Change" 100% for the first 3 months.
Next I linked my savings account with my checking account so if there is an overdraft it just comes out of my savings account. And the most important thing, Bank of America lets you setup Over Draft limits. And also set it up so if you don't have enough funds your transaction will decline. Which means no Over Draft Fees.
To save money on bill payments, using the free online bill payment option is a great idea. You do not have to worry about Money Orders, Cashiers checks, Stamps, Envelops etc.
2- Internet and TV:
This day and age Internet access and TV are pretty much becoming a need instead of want. But still this monthly expense can be controlled. First thing I did was called my cable company and found out what I am paying for exactly. I realized I am paying like $185 to $200 every month for Internet and TV service whhooooooaaaa!!!!. Now that is crazy so I cut down all the channels to basic channels, cut down my internet speed since I do not require more than 6Mbps, returned my DVR because Comcast was charging me $15 per month for the rental. Got rid of two extra channels I had and I was paying extra $15 approximately for them.
Instead I took a computer and hooked it up to my TV so that I can watch most of my shows that I miss on the internet. Check out Hulu.com an excellent site that has an amazing list of all the popular shows that you can watch but you can also watch the previous episodes and some older movies. I usually like to watch "Greys, Fringe, House, Star Gate Universe, Smallville" and all shows are available on the internet for FREE. Why should I pay for them?
By doing this I was able to reduce my bill from $185 – $200 to around $50 per month.
3- Movie Rentals:
Once in a while I do like to rent a movie and watch it, but I was using Block Buster, pay per view or Net Flix. None of them honestly are cost effective. Net Flix used to be priced pretty good but not any more, their rates are increasing and the number of movies you can rent is decreasing. So one day while shopping at my local super market I saw a big Red box called Red Box and I saw a college kid rent a DVD from it. So I started checking it out and realized this thing is awesome. I can rent DVD's for only a dollar vs. $5 (Cable TV or Block Buster). The only catch is I have to return it within 24 hours or I will get charged another Dollar. Still not so bad. So since that day I have been watching a whole lot more DVD's and for less money :). More over I can reserve my DVD at work and pick it up after work. Just imagine if you rent 5 DVD's a month from Block Buster that is $5×5= $25. With Red box it will be only $5×1= $5. You just saved yourself $20 per month.

I have been using WD-40 to take care of multiple things for a while now and I always keep a can of WD-40 in my house and car. Recently when I was working on my car I came across an interesting article about WD-40. I never knew that WD-40 had so many uses.
Check out the article yourself:
Miracle Cleaner and Lubricant WD-40
Since I bought the iPhone I have been installing and uninstalling applications on it. All of them have been free apps. However there is one app I found that was $2.99 and it was totally worth every penny. Its called MileBug. I am on the road a lot and get reimbursed for mileage and tolls etc. Before this application I have been writing my mileage in a note book, then putting it in an excel spread sheet and then printing it out and sending it to our accounting dept.
Well thanks to "MileBug" now I simply input my mileage by site and car into that application and simply email myself the report for review and forward it to our accounting dept. Honestly it has made my life so much easier. People who drive 30K and more miles yearly for work and travel all over the place and need to keep track of their mileage this application is a great application.
Keep in mind that nothing is perfect so I recommend backing up your phone and emailing the report depending on how many changes you make.

I'm planning an office/shed in the garden of our house, to provide an office for me and storage for the household. I've been mulling over the design for quite a while and now need to finalise it and get plans into council. Above is my first draft which has windows in the space between horizontal and the sloping roof, similar to this building. The finish would be similar too, with either these kinds of boards or possibly weatherboard.
Yesterday while flicking through architecture books at Kinokunya yesterday I discovered these Gilbert Barker Pod buildings. I quite like this look too, particularly the way the glass frontage is recessed back from into the building. Angled the right way, this could be a passive solar element.
So any ideas on this shed? Inspiration to share? I have a whole gallery of inspirations. The actual space looks like this photo and we're looking at dimensions of about six metres by four metres. I hope to have a wall down the middle to separate the "office" and "shed" parts of my lair.

Amanita phalloides (death cap)
One of the world's deadliest mushrooms, death caps are said to have been behind the death of the Roman emperor Claudius in 54AD. Although they taste pleasant and resemble many safer varieties of mushroom, just 1oz is enough to kill a human. In 2013, an inquest heard that a woman died after adding them to soup.

Red Carpet Wedding: Piers Morgan and Celia Walden
Piers Morgan looks ecstatic after his wedding to writer Celia Walden on Thursday (June 24) in the U.K. The 45-year-old Britain's Got Talent judge - and future CNN host - celebrated with his new wife in a very low-key ceremony.
Piers proposed to Celia back in late last year and summed up the proposal on Today: "It's her birthday. Took her to Paris for the weekend. Gave her the present. She opens the present. It's a first edition of Marry Me by her favorite author. There were tears."

Saturday after Exaudi
Scripture: St. John 11:45-57 (NKJV)
45 Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him. 46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things Jesus did.
47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, "What shall we do? For this Man works many signs. 48 If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation." 49 And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all, 50 nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish." 51 Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad. 53 Then, from that day on, they plotted to put Him to death.
54 Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there remained with His disciples. 55 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves. 56 Then they sought Jesus, and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, "What do you think—that He will not come to the feast?" 57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it, that they might seize Him.
The chief priests and Pharisees intended great evil when they sought to kill Jesus. But God has shown many times before that He takes the wickedness of man and uses it to achieve great good. In the case of these treacherous Jews, God would use their evil to bring about the greatest good that mankind has ever known! The death of Jesus Christ would take away the sins of the world, and give forgiveness and everlasting life to all who believe!
God's use of such things does not make the evil acts any less evil, but it does show that God truly has power over all things. The Jews thought they would be rid of Jesus if they killed Him. But the will of God made it so that Jesus did not go away, as the Jews hoped. Instead, He was lifted up in glory, where He would draw Jews, and people of all nations, to Himself as their true God and Savior.
Man can plot and work against the will of God, but God will always be victorious. Even when man seems to succeed, he fails. Men can seem to be wealthy, successful, and superior in profound ways, but eventually those men will die. Their legacies will be left to fall apart or be used for good, and those men will never be able to raise themselves up from the defeat of their death. However, God has shown in Christ that His legacy stands forever. It will not fall apart; it will come to greater glory when the current things pass away! And even as He laid down His life according to His own will, was betrayed into the hands of evil men, and was executed for sins He did not commit, He was ultimately able to raise Himself up again! Thanks be to God!

IRVING, Texas -- In order to make room for veteran safety C.J. Spillman on the 53-man roster, the Dallas Cowboys have waived Ahmad Dixon.
Dixon had an eventful summer, leading the Cowboys with 12 tackles in their preseason opener against the San Diego Chargers, showing up late to a walk-through that left him benched for the second preseason game and earning a $22,050 fine for hitting a defenseless receiver in the third preseason game.
If Dixon clears waivers, he could be brought back to the practice squad.
At the time Dixon was drafted, the Cowboys hoped he would develop into a special teams' ace, but they opted to keep Jemea Thomas, who was claimed off waivers from the New England Patriots last week, and go with Spillman, who led the San Francisco 49ers with 19 special teams' stops in 2013.
Dixon was one of the Cowboys' five seventh-round picks and the third to be cut, joining Will Smith and Terrance Mitchell. Ben Gardner is on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. The only seventh-rounder currently on the 53-man roster is defensive tackle Ken Bishop.

Wow just perfect I telephoned and spoke to a very helpful young lady. She didn't rush me while I waffled on making my mind up on colour. When I said the pair I wanted was cheaper on the fit flop website she immediately reduced the price to match. The frou fit flops in maple syrup arrived next morning as promised and they are so comfy I'm looking at others to buy. Really good company to buy from and would recommend to my friends. Thank you.

Matt and Luke Goss reportedly reuniting Bros for '£10 million European tour'
The twins are reportedly planning to hit the road without bass player Craig Logan
MATT and Luke Goss look set to put their differences aside to reunite Bros for a European tour – which will reportedly earn them a staggering £10 million.
The eighties heartthrobs, who split 25 years ago following a mess of debt and fighting, are planning on hitting the road together one last time.
It has also been reported that bass player Craig Logan, who quit the band in 1989, will not take part.
The Daily Mail claims: "Luke Goss and Matt Goss have had successful career since the split but will reunite for an arena tour
"They will reunite but without Logan for a European tour."
It's believed that Matt, who has his own successful residency as a crooner at Caesars Palace Las Vegas, is expected to announce the comeback at his solo concert at Wembley on October 1.

Talking of a potential reunion, Matt told the Manchester Evening News in 2013: "Neither me, Craig or Luke do speculation well. If the right agent comes along promising the right show then who knows?
"But we went out on a high playing to 70,000 at Wembley, and we'd only do it if at that level again, to make it the best show for the fans."

Another amazing trip of mine was Ubud. I heard great story about this place. Therefore I've been very curious. We drove about 45 minutes from Kerrobokan to Ubud, which was pretty much okay. I enjoyed every meter we drove out of the city. On the way we saw rice fields, palms, flowers and forrests. It's awesome to escape the city. The sunlight was insanely extreme. Causing intense heat when we arrived. But first of all we had a nice breakfast at a local restaurant. After eating Indonesian dishes from day to day, you're quite happy having a good old fashioned sandwich in front of you 😀 After lunch, we went to a local market. It was yet again impressive. All kinds of fruit, vegetables, crafts, art, toys. Just everything. It was interesting that the prices in Ubud are cheaper than the ones in Seminyak or Kuta. Especially girls enjoy it, because of so many clothes. There were even scarfs made of real silk or pashmina. Another interesting place is the Lotus temple (hidden near a Starbucks entry :D). Beautiful Lotus flowers around a temple. We also knew about ricefields there, so we took a long way out of Ubud city. It was really warm, but it was totally worth it! The ricefields are literally the greenest thing I've ever seen. Did you know that planting rice is a really hard job?
Finally at the end of our trip, we went to the famous monkey forrest. You can buy little bananas and feed these little animals. They climb on your shoulder and grab the banana. But sometimes they ca be really naughty! They steal your sunglasses or earrings. So beware! At the same time it was so amazing seeing similarities between apes and humans. For example the relationship between baby apes and their mothers. You can see how much they care about each other.
All in all I had an great time! Ubud is a must see!

"In a surprise interview with Fox and Friends on Friday, President Donald Trump announced live that he wants his people to sit up at attention when he speaks - the same way North Koreans do for dictator Kim Jong Un.
During the interview, the subject of Trump`s recent Singapore summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un arose. `He`s the head of a country. And I mean, he is the strong head,` Trump remarked. `Don`t let anyone think anything different. He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.`"
When White House reporters later followed up on his comment, Trump said `I`m kidding, you don`t understand sarcasm.`"
Let`s parse Trump`s statement, it reveals his narcissistic and egomaniacal personality.
"He`s the head of a country. And I mean, he is the strong head. Don`t let anyone think different."
Nobody thinks different. Everyone knows that Kim Jong-un isn`t just a "strong head," but a ruthless tyrant who tortures, imprisons and starves his own people. Trump is the only one who thinks that the North Korean dictator is a "smart guy" and a "very talented man" who "loves his people."
"He speaks and his people sit up at attention."
Of course the terrorized citizens sit up at attention when their Dear Leader speaks, he sentenced people who didn`t cry at the funeral of his father Kim Jong-il to long sentences in a labor camp. But we live in a democracy, not in a dictatorship, and we aren`t about to sit up at attention whenever Trump babbles incoherently. A president who tramples on the Constitution, runs roughshod over the other co-equal branches of government, and condones racism and misogyny doesn`t deserve any respect.
"I want my people to do the same."
Trump isn`t my president, and we aren`t his people. We are citizens in a democracy, not subjects in a monarchy or slaves in a dictatorship.
"I`m kidding, you don`t understand sarcasm."
Trump may or may not have been kidding, but one thing is clear his so-called joke reveals his demented personality that craves adulation. We understand humor, and we understand that Trump is the biggest joke in the world.

Off The Grid
Off the Grid (OTG) is a funk/rock band based out of Southern Maryland. OTG was founded by lead guitarist and vocalist Steve Leads who originates from northwestern NC. OTG's genre is based from classic rock, rock, and funk. The blend of all of Leads past musical experiences is what makes OTG an anomaly. Leads first move from N.C. was to Atlanta where he played mostly at the Atlanta Underground.
Atlanta is where he had his first of three opportunities to be an opening act for Mother's Finest at Alex Cooley's Electric Ballroom. Mother's Finest was a local Atlanta band that was on the way to becoming a nationally known funk/rock act. They are still touring internationally. Leads later moved to the Virginia tidewater area where he became a full time professional musician. He made his living playing six to seven nights a week in night clubs and upscale hotels on the east coast.
The original material performed by OTG is written by Leads. The band will be releasing an EP in early 2019. "Tick Tock", "I Know", "OTG", and "If Ya Lookin" are some of the original songs you will hear OTG perform live. OTG's mission is to attract a diverse following of people who are looking for something different that will satisfy more than one musical genre interest!

Room for growth in airline conversion rates
Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) is not solely the domain of the biggest airlines; even smaller organizations can advance to a higher level of CRO maturity with a smart and agile strategy.
Could do better is the conclusion of a Diggintravel study of Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) practices from airlines.
The study was performed this fall via survey questionnaires sent to more than 90 airline e-commerce and digital marketing senior executives. It reflects the views and insights of 28 airlines in seven key areas: six general CRO areas—people, skills, activities, test quantity, tools, and organizational support—and one airline-specific area, the internet booking engine (IBE).
While the basic level of sophistication airlines have on CRO is comparable to companies in other industries, it lags behind travel and ecommerce companies like Amazon, Airbnb, Priceline, and Skyscanner.
The three principle challenges are a lack of skillsets in this area, inadequate management understanding or support for CRM, and inherent inflexibility of internet booking engines.
64% of respondents to the Diggintravel survey admitted to having no structured or documented CRO process.
47% of those working to optimize CRO work at companies where CRO is not in the budget.
Only 36% of the airlines surveyed have CRO teams in place.
54% of respondents said that CRO is done by a single person or that optimization is nobody's primary job responsibility.
52% of the survey respondents run 3 or more experiments every month.
64% of airlines rely on individuals for their CRO tasks and projects. Only 36% have formed CRO teams—either smaller groups or full-scale conversion tribes.
43% of LCC airlines perform tests on a regular basis (at least two to five per month). The number of FSC (full service carriers) that do this is lower (21%).

First of all I wish to thank Dr Kannan for the words of appreciation (and agreement) with what I have said very briefly about the symbolic meaning of Garuda and Snake in the mythologies associated with Thirumaal. It is also available in its essence in Sumero-Dravidian literature and one cannot but lament the negligence of such studies on the part of Tamil scholars. It is not an exaggeration of a romantic fool to say that the world moves on the foundations laid down by the ancient SumeroDravidian, who are , in my view, also the Tamils of First Sangam. The tracing of Dravidian elements in the Old Testament accounts such as that of Dr Selvanayakam and the scholarly works of Heinrich Zimmer, Kinnier Williams, Kamil Zvelebil and a host of others is slowly but surely breaking down the Aryan Theory of the origins of Dravidian culture( and Hinduism, whatever that means) and I am sure (just an intuition) the future will further enlighten us regarding the enormous role the Dravidian folks have played in shaping world culture.
As an addition to this kind of study I want to bring to the attention of scholars the presence of SumeroDravidian elements in the Upanisads, something I noted more than twenty years ago when I studied the Upanisads, transliterated and translated into English by Prof. Radhakrishnan himself along with Sumero-Dravidian studies. The Upanishads, not only abound with Sumero-Tamil lexical items but also with vivid descriptions of traditions and doctrines of ancient Dravidianas also prevalent in ancient Sumeria. In this article I want to show the presence of distinctive MATRIARCHAL elements , which by universal acceptance is the essence of ancient Dravidian culture. Polyandry and Marukakkttaayam system of lineage and property transfer , so characteristic of this system is still practised widely among the Todas of Nilgiri and till recently widely practised in Kerala specially among the Nayar women. The exceptional importance of Maman, male siblings of a Tamil women , more important than even the husband , in practically every aspect of cultural life points to an ancient matriarchy, perhaps defunct now, even among Tamils.
We may note here the word 'Upanishad' may itself be Sumero-Tamil where 'upa' is Tamil 'uppar. umpar" 'ni' the same as Sumerian 'ni" and ancient Tamil locative-genitive case marker' -in' and 'sad' a variant of ancient 'saaRRu" also available in Sumerian. What it means is : declarations coming from the heavens i.e. mystical disclosures. a meaning that fits well the essence of the Upanishads.
With these preliminaries , let me point out the following.
1. Female Guru Parampara.
Among the Egyptians we do not find female Pharaohs though women played important roles in politics. However in Sumeria we find females erecting temples for their own with contributions coming from themselves. We also have women as Temple Priestess, in conflict quite often with the male rulers of the city states. Enhuduanna, the Daughter of Sargon, said to be the first man to rise to the status of an Emperor, was not only the head of a famous temple in Ur, but a mighty philosopher/mystic of her own reputed to have authored the famous "Exaltations of Innana" and numerous Temple Hymns widely recited for thousands of years in the whole of the ancient Middle East. Neither the Aryans or the Semitic are known to have fostered matriarchy and along with it the worship of the Woman , the Mother just as divine as Man or Father.
In Brhad- AraNyaka Upanishad, the Fourth Brahmana that deals with Procreation Ceremonies ( very ancient Tantric practices are described here) ends up with a succession of Teachers and Pupils as listed below ( only a part is given)
" Now the line of teachers . The son of PautimAsi (received this teaching) from the son of KAtyani, the son of KAtyani from the son of Gautami, the son of Gautami from the son of Bharadvaji, the son of Bahradvaji from the son of Parasari, the son of Parasari from the son of Aupasvati....." and so on.
Notice here that though the teachers are MALES but they are noted as sons of certain woman, their mothers. i.e.. their identity follows from the mother and not father, and in this discloses the matriarchal system of lineage and hence culture. Radhakrishnan notes that Sankara tries to account for this peculiarity by providing an excuse: that a mother plays an important place in the training of children which is ridiculous because in the same Upanishad there are other lists where the sons are known after their fathers and not mothers.
But despite the Parampara hailing from a matriarchal system, the doctrines are ultimately traced to divine principles and hence equally sacred as any other: .. Kasyapa Naidhuri from Vac( speech), Vac from Ambhini, Ambhini from Aditiya (the sun).
Here Ambhin(>ambuli: the moon?) is probaly the Moon, as Aditya is clearly the Sun. Here we have references to ParaBindhu and ParaNatham, the TWO fundamental Siva Tatvas from which emerge Speech or Vac and hence all mystical doctrines.
2 Satyakama, the Son of JAbAla, a woman.
Internal evidences for the prevalence of polyandry and hence the identity of siblings in terms of the mother who bears them , is also available in the story of Satyakama , as recorded in Chandogya Upanishad, another famous Upanishad just as ancient as the Brihad Aranyaka.
The story goes as follows:
1. Once upon a time SatyakAma JAbAla addressed his mother JAbAla, " Mother, I desire to live the life of a student of sacred knowledge. Of what family am I?"
2. Then she said to him: " I do not know, my child, of what family you are. In my youth, when I went about a great deal, as a maid servant, I got you. So I do not know of what family you are. However , I am JAbAla by name and you are SatyakAma by name. So you may speak of yourself as SatyakAma JAbAla (the son of JAbAla)
3. Then he went to Gautama, the son of Haridrumat and said, "I wish to become a student of sacred knowledge. May I become your pupil, Venerable Sir."
4. He said to him" Of what family are you, my dear?" He replied, " I do not know this ,sir, of what family I am. I asked my mother. She answered " In my youth, when I went about a great deal as a maid-servant, I got you. So I do not know a of what family you are. I am JAbAla by name and you are Satyakama by name.So I am SatykAma JAbAla, Sir"
5. He then said to him, " None but a BrahmaNa, could thus explain. Bring the fuel, my dear, I will receive you, as a pupil. Thou hast not departed from the truth..."
A number of conclusions can be made from this story.
a. Polyandry must be quite prevalent as such ways of conceiving a child as that JAbAla, was not considered a sin and SatyakAma a bastard son . Legitimacy was accorded through simply identifying the child in terms of the woman who bears him. Hence the practice of naming the child after the mother as in the Guru Parampara list above must have been widely prevalent pointing out the strong presence of the matriarchal system .
b. Divine knowledge was NOT denied because of the accidents of birth as was promulgated in the Manu Smiriti etc. and hence at that time and perhaps within a dominant Matriarchy, the notion of Varnasrama Dharma was NOT prevalent.
c. The original meaning of BrahmaNa is the seeker of Truth, who stands in Truth and lives in Truth and in which case the root must have been Brahma, true understanding. Though SatyakAma was born OUTSIDE socially sanctioned marriage, that fact was NOT brought in to deny admission to learn sacred knowledge. And in this sense the word BrahmaNa carries the same meaning as " meykaNtaan"
d. It may possible that Varnasrama Dharma of Manu Smirti is a later day social stratification arising out of the imposition of Patriarchal system of marriage and lineage. It may be possible that Varnasrama Dharma cannot exist within Matriarchy where women enjoy sexual freedom and which the institution of marriage is rather different. Note :Troubathai of Mahabharata was Aivarukkum Theevi and aziyaatha Paththini. The kaRpu was here understood fidelity towards NOT one man but FIVE brothers
3. Equal Rights of Women for Sacred Knowledge.
Another aspect of Matriarchy shows itself the rights women enjoyed towards hearing, understanding and discussing sacred lore. This emerges in the story of Yajnavalkya, the most famous Rishi of the ancient world and the central figure in Brihad aryNyaka Upanisad. We should note that the name is SumeroDravidian coming from 'ezen-bal-ki-a" meaning a man who hails from a place full of festivals. The word" ezen" in Sumerian means festival and is still available in such words as "eje-maan" meaning the leader of the yajna in the Upanisads but now simply the leader.
This Yalnavalkya had two wives , KAtyAyani and Maitreyi ( The rishies of the Upanishad periods quite often had more than one wife.) Here when Yajnavalkya expresses his desire to renounce the stage of householder and enter that of anchorite, the vanasprastha, an interesting philosophical conversations transpires between Maitreyi and Yajnavalkya. I give below only parts of it.
1. "Maitreyi," said Yajnavalkya, ' verily, I am about to go forth from this state (of householder). Look, let me make a final settlement between you and that KAtyAyani.
2. Then said Maitreyi: " If , indeed, Venerable Sir, this whole earth is filled with wealth were mine, would I be immortal through that?" " No," said Yajnavalkya: " Like the life of the rich even so would your life be. Of immortality, however, there is no hope through wealth."
3. Than Maitreyi said: " What should I do with that by which I do not become immortal?. Tell me that, indeed, Venerable Sir, of what you know (of the way to immortality)"
4. Than Yajnavalkya said: " Ah, my dear, you have been dear (even before), and you (now) speak dear words. Come sit down, I will explain to you. Even as I am explaining reflect (on what I say)
The dialogue continues but this much is sufficient for our purposes. We should note the following:
1. Yalnavalkya did NOT hesitate to enter into a philosophic dialogue with Maitreyi just because she happens to be a woman,. The most profound knowledge was NOT denied to her because of her femininity or because she happens to be his wife. The only factor that is seen as qualifying her for instructions on Sacred knowledge was her INTEREST and readiness for seeking such redeeming knowledge as opposed to earthly wealth.
2. There is unquestioning acceptance of the competency of Maitreyi for sacred wisdom showing that Yajnavalkya (praise be to him) recognized that women are EQUAL to men even in such matters. Of course the subsequent astute questioning of her own Guru, validates thoroughly this estimation of Maitreyi. And Yajnavalkya demands that she REFLECTS on what he says and thus essentially Hermenetical; was keen to make her UNDERSTAND rather than simply memorize and later regurgitate.
I take it that such an attitude towards woman, not only with regard to their RIGHTS but also COMPETENCY points towards the strong presence of Matriarchal system and thought processes and values emanating from that kind of social structure, a fact that we note to this among the Dravidians especially among the Keralites who have recorded 100 % literacy even among the females. The Tamil tradition retains this as well as a strong underscurrent to this day for there are poets, mystics, linguists, philosophers and Siddars who are females.

Drug tests are taken today for many reasons, including employment, athlete screening, background checks, DUI testing, court-ordered testing, insurance policies, and disease control. While some may take at-home tests, most drug tests are done professionally. Below are the most common drug tests used today and what they are testing for.
There were approximately 55 million drug tests performed in 2015, and 90 percent of them were urine tests. Rather than detecting the actual drug, which becomes metabolized once it's been consumed, the urinalysis detects drug metabolites rather than the parent drug. Unfortunately, although urine tests can be somewhat accurate, they're also the test that's the easiest to beat if an individual knows the right methods.
Blood Test
Blood tests, unlike a urinalysis, will detect the actual parent drug. While it's the most accurate drug test, it's also the most invasive. Due to their high cost, they are only used for legal purposes or in important cases. A blood test can detect marijuana, alcohol, and nicotine to name a few. The downside is that most drugs don't stay in the bloodstream more than a couple days, so it may not be accurate if too much time has lapsed.
Saliva Swab
Like a blood test, the saliva test is used to detect parent drugs in an individual's system. It's less expensive and less invasive than the urinalysis, which has made it increasingly popular in recent years. However, it must be done correctly for it to be accurate. Additionally, the saliva swab must be administered within days, if not hours, of use to detect most drugs.
Hair Follicle
Hair follicle testing can be used for many purposes, but it's most common purpose is for research. It may be used for other purposes, such as paternity cases. Hair follicle testing can be very accurate when testing for illegal drug use. It will not only detect if the individual has been using drugs, but also the frequency in which the individual uses drugs. The downside of this test is that hair can be easily contaminated from environmental things like dust or oil, which can give an inaccurate result. This is more often found with dark-haired individuals.
Of all the drug tests available, the urinalysis is the test most commonly used. Once the test is performed, it is sent to a laboratory for analysis. In most cases, the results are confirmed within a day or two.

Real, Whole Food Vitamin C Capsules)
With BioFlavonoids For Best Absorption
Real, Whole Food Vitamin CRaw, Organic, Non-GMO.
"Karen, I wanted to tell you I had breast cancer surgery recently. I believe that the Vitamin C and Beet SuperFood allowed me to bounce right up afterward. Surgery has always made me pretty sick and slow to recover. The nurses could not believe it! I processed that crap from the surgery right out of me and fast! I'm doing great and I feel great! Thank you for products, teaching, training and information. They are all amazing!" Cecil B.
"I just have to give a shout out for Real Vitamin C Powder. A week ago I felt a cold coming on (which I did not have time to deal with!) so I started tanking up on several times throughout the day. Also had some elderberry that I took a couple times too. And a week later I must say it's been the best cold ever. 😉 It's like I still had a the symptoms were very low key. Thanks for making such great products available. I've tried a lot of things of the past year since I found out about my thyroid issue and most things I can't say with certainty that did or did not help, but this Vitamin C definitely did. I'll be ordering the cold & flu fix the next time." Brenda K.
Vitamin C from whole foods is immeasurably more effective than the synthetic C. For 70mg of Vitamin C from a whole food ingested, it will strengthen the immunity more effectively than 700mg. Vitamin C. Several studies indicate that only 10% of synthetic vitamin C is absorbed, the rest is excreted.
ability to increase the strength of the capillaries (blood vessels) and to regulate their permeability. They assist C in keeping collagen, the intercellular "cement" in healthy condition; are essential for the proper absorption and use of vitamin C; prevents vitamin C from being destroyed in the body by oxidation; beneficial in hypertension; help hemorrhages and ruptures in the capillaries and connective tissues and build a protective barrier against infections. Bioflavonoids enhance the action of vitamin C and for this reason they should be taken together. preserving the structures of capillaries, have an antibacterial effect and promote circulation. They may be indicated in the production of bile, lowering blood cholesterol levels and in the prevention and treatment of cataracts. Bioflavonoids enhance the absorption of vitamin C, and prolong the effectiveness of it as well. These are super active substances and can add a great deal to your nutritional needs in health and disease.

Vitamin C and Oral Health
Vitamin C For Thyroid and Sex Hormones
Several direct and catalytic actions of Vitamin C in the body as promoting oral health and the rapid recuperation from dental diseases and surgical procedures. Vitamin C has been demonstrated as effective in stimulating the immune system and subsequently reducing the potential for post-surgical infection. Vitamin C can also enhance wound repair following dental extractions through the strengthening of socket blood clots, as well as by increasing the construction of scar tissue and the synthesis and deposition of collagen. Inadequate vitamin C can promote bleeding gums that can develop into gingivitis if left untreated.
Ascorbic acid is not vitamin C.
The ascorbic acid you buy at the grocery store every few weeks, thinking you are buying Vitamin C, is just a chemical copy of naturally occurring ascorbic acid, which itself is still only a fraction of the actual Vitamin C. Real vitamin C is part of something living, and as such, can impart life.
The synthetic, fractionated chemical ascorbic acid never grew in the ground, never saw the light of day, never was alive or part of anything alive. It's a laboratory chemical, a cornstarch derivative, a sulfuric acid by-product. Synthetic vitamins have toxic effects at mega-doses and actually can increase the white blood cell count. Whole food vitamins, by contrast, are not toxic since the vitamin is completed in its integral working form, and requires nothing from the body, and triggers no immune is a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency. Scurvy is characterized by bleeding gums, slow wound healing, softening bones, loose teeth, ulcerations of the mouth and digestive tract, general weight loss and fatigue. From 1650 to 1850 half of all seamen on transoceanic voyages died of food vitamin C as found in potatoes, onions, and some fruits able to quickly cure any case of scurvy. By contrast, the fractionated chemical ascorbic acid has been shown to be insufficient in resolving a scurvy condition, simply because it does not act as a nutrient.
Ascorbic acid simply cannot confer vitamin activity, as taught by the discoverer of vitamin C himself, another Nobel Prize laureate, Dr. Albert Szent-Georgi. Ascorbic acid is just the antioxidant outer shell – the protector of all these other synergists so that they will be able to perform their individual functions. Vitamins are living complexes which contribute to other higher living complexes – like cell repair, collagen manufacture, and maintenance of blood circulation. Ascorbic acid is not a living complex. It is a copy of a part of a living complex known as vitamin C. Whole food sources of Vitamin C require taking less than it's synthetic Ascorbic Acid counterpart.

As a teacher I have heard many theories and conclusions as to why New Jersey is in the "mess" that it is experiencing. As well, I have also seen assignments of blame attributed to teachers, their unions (which for the most part represent the teachers) and other public sector employees. It appears that it is easier to vilify a sector of the population than to unite and use our best talents to formulate sound and humane solutions.
Amazingly, I have not heard nor am I aware of much blame assigned to the policy makers, "movers and shakers," of the past (regardless of administration or political affiliation). It appears, in my opinion, that the focus is on getting the teachers to cede the few incentives that were adopted to legitimize the profession in our most recent history.
Totally, I agree that "If one suffers, then all suffer." I think it would be impractical to assert and maintain that there should not be any compromise, whatsoever. Compromise is one thing, but "scapegoating" is something entirely different. I have a very simple definition of scapegoating from Wikipedia: Scapegoating is the practice of singling out one child, employee, member of a group of peers, ethnic or religious group, or country for unmerited negative treatment orblame.[1] It appears that New Jersey is being "united" against and at the expense of the teachers. The very people who have supported, inspired and motivated so many in New Jersey to become scientists, lawyers, teachers, nurses, technicians and so much more, are being treated as an "enemy of the State." They are, in fact, builders of the State!
There has been a very negative, beligerent and intolerant mood created in the "Garden State." A mood that fosters dishonor, ingratitude and "destruction." I am amazed that after much has been done to ligitimize the field of education in New Jersey and the United States that so much is being done to undermine it in the current decade. Historically, teachers have served as a backbone for any nation that wants to compete in the world stage. Without the knowledge and dedication that teachers possess, a city, a state, or a country will not advance in the manner that will be significant enough to make it a viable resource in the world community.
This is not a simple subject, I know that. It is not a subject that should be treated carelessly or with frivolity. When one decides to address teachers, professionals whom so many children look to for guidance and solace, one must see to it that he or she does not undermine the very sector that serves many times as a hope and a source of consistency for so many of our youth.
When a child has what they perceive to be "injustice" at home they look forward to the "fairness" of the teacher. When the child has a drug addicted mother/father or both at home, he or she looks to the stability and consistency of the teacher, the professional. When a child feels hopeless and at times suicidal he or she gets hope when the teacher just shows care and concern, first thing in the morning. When parents threathen divorce or follow through with such an act, the child can often feel secure that he or she will find that teacher that is "always there" for them. I can go on with many more, but the point is clear.
You don't want to undermine the very people that serve significantly to keep the young generation, population, motivated and hopeful while they navigate the sometimes treacherous and uncertain roads to responsibility and adulthood. Most of our children have a high esteem for their teachers. When disparaging, careless and unfounded accusations are made against their teachers, it makes them even more insecure and distrustful of the "adult community."
There will be disagreements and that is a good thing. There will be heated conflicts, that's fine also. There will be accusations and a host of other unpleasant things. But most importantly, I ask that all of us really consider the long term effects on the teaching profession in New Jersey and the children who are served by its professionals.
Teachers have always been important to the community. Are they the most important people? No, everyone who lends a hand makes the community better by their contributions. Younger teachers learn from older ones. I learned a lot from senior teachers around me. Let's uphold these teachers and not treat them like a "disease" that we need to eradicate because others have wasted valuable resources on their friends and associates.
Let's be sensible as we address the issue of education reform and the budget crisis. Let's remember that we should not be shortsighted but consider the long term psychological impact of our actions and reactions to what goes on in the public. Let's remember the children who often find refuge in the positive interactions that they have with their teachers. Also, as we move forward with reform, lets see to it that licensed New Jersey teachers (young and old) are at the forefront in making recommendations for what will help in the classroom. Hopefully, the policy makers have been in the classroom recently or are working very closely with teachers, aids, parents who are "on the ground" and can give "real time" accounts of what the needs are in our schools and classrooms. Let's make sense as we try to save cents.
This blog is an opportunity for me to discuss various current events that really relate to the common person. Mario Depeine, Sr.
A little about Mario Depeine, Sr.
As an educator I get the opportunity to get a small glimpse of how our society is shaping up. Children come into the classroom with all types of perspectives. A lot of the perspectives are a result of their environment. Some of those perspectives reflect the home life or lack of. Some reflect the street life and some just reflect the media that the children are exposed to.
Middle School children are just starting out in life. You see how their characters and personalities are shaping up. Many can be molded or adjusted easily others are a lot more resistant to change depending on their circumstance.
I work in an urban district. While there I see many interesting and at times disheartening things. Hopefully my experiences as an educator can shed some light on what we can do to better prepare our children for the future.
