Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son has been at the school for a few years and is very happy there, I can see from homework and schoolwork that he is learning at a high level and his growing knowledge is impressive I have to give full credit to his teachers and how seriously the school takes the student's education as I work full time. The tuition is affordable. The children are polite and well mannered, I would highly recommend the school.
Last night Venice Lutheran had a screening of the documentary RACE TO NOWHERE. After seeing this film I am even more convinced that our children are attending a school that fits our priorities. The school places an emphasis on instilling the love to learn instead of pressuring the teachers and students to make the test scores because no child is exactly the same. Now more than ever I believe that this school is a great place to grow. The fact that this school is even willing to have this dialogue with parents and the community at large says a lot about the principal and teachers openness to new ideas.
As a parent of First Lutheran School for many years now, we feel the school speaks for itself. It has been there for over 60 years & the principal for over 25 years, how many schools can match that? Our Alumni students who have graduated have gone on to superior Hi Schools & Colleges. The school is SAFE, free from drugs & violence. It teaches a strong moral value. It is a small town feel in a big city. We wouldn't be any where else!
Very religious. School lacks leadership. Poor middle school. One teacher has been known to ridicule and shame students in front of class. Accreditation allowed expire. Too late to renew and Principal is advocating against reapplying. Combined classes. Excellent third and fourth grade teacher.
very bad middle school, lacking leadership from the Principal who seems to notice nothing. Poor teaching especially in Math area. Students are taught that non Christians go to hell. WEIRD Favoritism is very heavy in this school. Wish I had never sent my kid here. Not worth the money. Not meeting grade level for charter/public schools.......
First Lutheran has been a great for my daughter and the music program is excellent. Great after school enrichment program. Very dedicated teachers who push the kids to reach their highest potential.
What rare find and special school! From the school's principal and small campus to the mixed grade classroom and art and music programs, this Venice Lutheran may just be be the best kept secret in West LA. The principal was honored by the City of LA for his commitment to assuring the talents of all of our youth are developed to their maximum potential, and commended him for displaying a beautiful example of how learning and leadership are indispensable to one another. For our children this school continues to be a great place to learn and grow.
FLV is an excellent school. My daughter attended Kindergarten and First grade at the school until we were transfered back to Louisiana. My daughter enjoyed her time at FLV and it is the standard that she and I compare her current school. She received an Excellent education in a safe and caring environment. She was provided with many educational opportunities that continue to positively impact on outlook on education, friendship and faith. FLV is an extended family and it is 'A Wonderful Place to Grow'. My daughter misses her friends and teachers and would love to return to school at FLV. Great School! Great Experience!
My children just started their second year at First Lutheran. We love the teachers, the principal and the community of parents. I feel like my kids are getting a great eduction in a loving environment. We are so lucky to have found this school!
Our daughter recently started kindergarten here and we couldn't be happier. The class size is small, her teacher is very focused and the parents all seem truly vested in the school. I can't imagine a school I'd rather send her too. I am so glad we found this place.
FLV has been a gift to our family. Our children are receiving a exceptional education. The staff and parent involvment is above and beyond what is standard for schools. The school is like an extended family, a place where everyone from the youngest to the oldest truly care for each other.
This is such an excellent school! They have high expectations academically, and the teachers and staff genuinely love and care for the students. My child attended Coeur d'alene elementary first, and while it was fine academically, there was very little parent-teacher interaction. First Lutheran is a small school where teachers work with parents to give the best possible education to each individual child. Children are taught values, mutual respect, and manners. These are missing from public schools and many private schools! First Lutheran is an excellent value for the impact it will have on your child's life.
FLV is an excellent school. Don't let the parochial aspect fool you; it s better than many high priced private schools in LA. A great education and where each child is known by all staff on a first name basis. The curriculum incorporates enrichment, music, art and whole child approach and wonderful principle. I too am surprised there s no wait list.
Our experience at First Lutheran was mixed. We loved the warm and friendly atmosphere, and there is a definite feeling of community. My biggest problem is that the school lacks leadership. We'll miss the wonderful aspects of this school but not the bad ones.
This is a wonderful small school with lots of parent involvment.
This is a great school small school. All the kids get to know eac other and feel very secure.
This small school is great if you start your children there right in kindergarden. The discipline is very strict ranging from the uniform to the dots on the 'i' and the bars on the 't', and if your kids come from a public school, the transition can be very rough. On another hand, they are working closely with the parents, and this can be a supportive community : you are engulfed in the school (and the church if you want to).
Good overall educational program. No special services for children with learning disabilities or special needs. Very traditional education. Classrooms are combined with another grade (i.e. 3rd/4th, 5th/6th).
First Lutheran is a small and concentrated environment. Each class shares two grades; however, there are only 10 to 12 students per class so there are approx 20 to 24 students in each classroom. We have attended four years now and have excelled academically and embraced spiritually! We love the uniforms too! Be prepared though, the school requires a great deal of volunteer efforts not only for the sake of the children but for fundraising as well. I have found that the parents tend to be a bit 'clicky'; the volunteers v. the non volunteers, but if you can get past that the childrens' friendships seem to endure regardless!
This is a very good school. The teachers are dedicated, very experienced and are involved with the church too. Christian principals are encouraged. The band class is wonderful. It's small but I find that good because it enables the child to really learn music. On the down side I sometimes feel as though the kids should have a little more work. Because the teachers are splitting their time amongst various subjects, it doesn't seem as though the kids get enough devotion in any one particular are. Lastly, the tuition is somewhat reasonable, however, they keep going up. Bottomline, if you are looking for a good Christian school, you shouldn't pass this one up. I would send my child there again if I had to do it all over.

John Sexton, president of New York University, announced last Wednesday he would step down at the end of his term in 2016. Although the Board of Trustees "unanimously and strongly supports President John Sexton," as written in a March memo from Chairman Martin Lipton, many students and members of faculty have been calling for his resignation for months. In March, 82 percent of faculty at the College of Arts and Science, NYU's largest undergraduate school, passed a motion of no confidence against Sexton. In the following months, four out of five undergraduate schools would pass similar motions, in addition to a number of graduate programs.
Sexton's critics have a range of grievances against him, but they all boil down to one thing: money. Sexton oversaw the Campaign for NYU, which ended in 2008 and raised $3 billion—the most lucrative fundraising campaign in the history of higher education. One would think such a flush of cash might encourage administrators to lower, if not at least stagnate tuition. Instead, though, the money is going to expensive expansion programs, both in New York's Greenwich Village and overseas. And over the course of Sexton's presidency (2002 to the present) tuition has increased by more than $18,000. For the upcoming school year, the cost of tuition plus room and board is more than $64,000.

Marshall rallies to beat Colts
By BARRY BURLESON
Hunter Bolden took it deep at just the right time Thursday night.
He provided a huge three-run, walk-off homer in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Marshall Academy dramatically defeated Lee (Clarksdale) 9-6 at home to go to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in district.
After two were out in the inning, Wesley Harris reached first on a bloop hit and stole second. Tyler Childers was hit by a pitch.
Bolden then drilled the baseball over the right field fence. The junior also doubled and singled in the win.
Justin Gray added a single and double.
Shane Campbell got the mound win in relief of starter Will Patton. Campbell improved to 2-0.
MA fell behind 5-0. It sliced the deficit to 5-4 in the bottom of the fourth and took the lead 6-5 in the bottom of the fifth.
But the Colts tied in the sixth.
In the top of the seventh, Lee loaded the bases with one out. The next batter popped up. Then with two outs and a full count on the batter, the Patriots picked off the runner at second base.
That set the stage for Bolden's seventh-inning heroics.
MA played in the Delta Academy Tournament on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Saturday, they visit Harding Academy (Tenn.) for 12 noon and 2:30 p.m. games. Next Monday, March 17, the Patriots visit Indianola at 4 p.m., and next Tuesday, March 18, they host Oxford at 5 p.m.

Description: Mountain Hardwear Altaride Jacket
If a tree falls in the forest and it is not wearing a Mountain Hardwear Altaride Jacket, does it make a sound? The answer is yes, it does, and the sound is its tree-teeth chattering because the Altaride brings the heat with 80g Thermal Q insulation. Treebeard there could have been enjoying the waterproof protection of Mountain Hardwear's Dry Q technology on his way to the forest floor, not to mention the helmet compatible 3-way adjustable drop hood and RECCO Avalanche Rescue Reflector. The pit zips would have kept him piney fresh, and those internal mesh stow pockets and handy key clip would have been perfect for storing treasured leaves and acorns during a long day of backcountry… growing with his tree bros.
Features of the Mountain Hardwear Altaride Jacket

In a recent Enquirer interview, Mayor-elect John Cranley gave the public a choice, "Riverside Park or the streetcar. Wasson Way or the streetcar." In his over-simplification, he asserts that these are insular projects. In reality, all of these projects have the potential to serve everyone who lives in the city any beyond. To suggest that one project is more valid than the other only encourages more contention, division and acrimony in our community.
We are not just 52 neighborhoods; we are one city. The mayor-elect should be reinforcing this truth, not exploiting differences of geography and opinion for his own political gain.

Nmap Announce
mailing list archives
Here are some more replies in the nmap-crashing-machines thread. I
thought it would be better to collect them all and send as a group
rather than let them trickle in one by one (I have also cut out some
of the quoting):
From: amanda <amanda () wineasy se>
Using 'nmap -vO' against an HP-UX 9.04 machine running MC/ServiceGuard
(HP's so-called High-Availability Cluster :-) would crash the host
everytime a year ago. I think they fixed it in the July or September patch
bundle last year.
There might have been a buffer overrun that you could have exploited...
From: Donald McLachlan <don () mainframe dgrc crc ca>
Seems I've heard of some devices being brought done by nmap scans. If
memory serves they were HP printers, and PC's running non-Unix and
non-MS O/S's (sorry can't remember which O/S). It seemed nmap -O
was the culprit.
From: Christophe GRENIER <grenier () nef esiea fr>
I have knock down a Scorpion Marlin from Nautica with SNMP activated using
nmap UDP scan.
nmap -sU -p 161 pont-vesale freeze it.
From: The Unicorn <unicorn () blackhats org>
I guess you never came across any DGUX systems? I recently tested a big
LAN with a lot of these and they froze (inetd) when you threw -O to
them. Just have a look at the bugtraq archive where the blackhats
advisory on this is stored.

Now Screening | 'Food, Inc.'
Image courtesy of Magnolia Films
If you eat three times a day, you might want to see Robert Kenner's latest film, "Food, Inc.," which hit theaters in Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco last weekend and will be released in 10 more cities this Friday. (For a complete list of openings, go here.)
It's less horror film ("Super Size Me") or cheesy drama ("Fast Food Nation") and more like "An Inconvenient Truth," a captivating if slightly disturbing presentation of a problem. The problem this time is America's messy food system. The film takes us through supermarkets, corn fields, chicken coops, slaughterhouses and courtrooms to reveal the inner workings of a giant food-producing-machine, resulting in a powerful wake-up call for consumers.

This is week 20 of the 2013-14 regular season edition of HoopsHabit's NBA Awards Watch. Throughout the season, we cover the potential winners for each award. Make sure to check back every Monday for the up-to-date projections. Stats tables are from Basketball-reference.com.
Most Valuable Player
1. Kevin Durant
2. LeBron James
With a little over a month remaining in the season, the scales seem to be leaning more in Durant's favor once again. He's averaged over 32 points in the past five games and the Thunder sit just a game behind the Spurs for the top spot in the conference. Meanwhile, in the seven games since his career-high 61 points against the Bobcats, James has only scored more than 20 points in four of those games and the Heat lost five of those seven games partly because of it. Griffin continues his rise to superstar status while putting up career-high numbers and expanding his game to help lead the Clippers to the fifth-best record in basketball.

I'm two months off of having my bachelors in business management with a specialization in strategy, entrepreneurship and international business. My most recent summer internship turned into a full time job opportunity. And on top of it all I will be graduating debt free. Exactly what every college graduate wishes and hopes for has fallen into place for me.
Everyone says to me, 'you must be so happy!'
But I'm not. I haven't been this lost or torn in my entire life. I'm not interested in working a meaningless 9-5 job. Planning what meals I'm gonna cook next week and looking forward to the weekend. I don't want to work for corporate america. I want to volunteer my time in small villages across the world teaching children, or helping farmers during harvest, learning from them. If I take the job, my life will look the way it's supposed to on the outside, but will be bitterly empty on the inside. My friends think I'm going through a quarter life crisis and say to me, 'that's life baby doll' no, that's your life, not mine.
Every week I'm coming up with a new plan of what to do with my life. My favorite at the moment is getting a working holiday visa and living in Australia for a year. I figure I'll work for six months to save money. I'll find a job in my field so I don't feel like I'm abandoning my degree. And I'll fly out when I have planned the entire year to a tee. I recently realized that I have this grand plan so I have something concrete and solid to share with my family and friends when I tell them what I want to do with my life.
Last night I watched a fabulous documentary 180 degrees south. It was incredibly inspirational. Among other things it made me realize that I don't need to plan and plan my life away, everything will happen the way it's meant to. It made me think of a quote I heard once, 'life is what happens when you're busy planning it.' After last night I don't want to spend any more time trying to plan my life. You miss the present when you focus on the future.
I'm going to simply let life take me on a journey. Stop trying to plan a perfect adventure.
"Sometimes there's no substitute for just going there" - Yvon Chouinard
I have the easy route on a freshly paved road right in front of me, but that road looks over traveled and extremely unfulfilling, I choose the difficult route of dirt and rocks, that has only been traveled by few insane souls.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Posted by: Mike Sowerby on: 04/22/2006 07:00 AM [ 0 comment(s) ]
Cyrodiil is a dangerous place, enter it with caution as it is in a dimension all of its own, where 5 hours seems like 10 minutes and an unexpected adventure lies around every corner. Each of these adventures is so compelling as to deprive you of the comfort of your own bed, offering some new interest. Whats more, the freedom of this game is staggering. Go buy and sell, do a few quests, some treasure hunting in one of the many caves or mines, explore the wonders of the land. The list goes on, and thats before you even touch on the main quest. A hint at just how expansive this game is appears at the beginning with the fantastic character creation tools. I must have spent over half an hour or more playing around with every conceivable detail of my characters appearance and Im sure many others could spend far longer. It is also here that the story begins. With you, as seems to be traditional in Elderscrolls games, starting your journey in a prison cell. As luck would have it, the Emperor happens to be passing through for reasons I wont divulge here, and releases you from your captive state. Read article

In our last episode we discussed the Alabama Crimson Tide offense. In this episode, Tom and Dave discuss the Tide defense, and what we look forward to watching unfold during spring practice.
Highlights of our discussion include:
A healthy return of Dalvin Tomlinson? After suffering his second knee injury, his participation will probably be limited, but he represents the type of talent we're hoping to develop along the defensive front. Jonathan Allen, Dee Liner, and Tim Williams may also fit this bill.
How long before Jarren Reed becomes the clear starter at nose? Brandon Ivory, Darren Lake, and Korren Kirven all have experience along with the opportunity to seize the opportunity, but can they fend off Reed who comes in search of early playing time?
Who are the starting cornerbacks? It's an open competition between five players with starting experience, two red shirts, and one of the highest rated corner prospects in the country. We're very likely to learn a lot about this position during spring drills, but it's equally as likely that we won't know any more than we do today.
Who replaces CJ Mosley? Another unfair question because the obvious response is that no one player will be equal to the task. Who will be our starting line backers and which player's development will go the furthest in answering the question?

On Guard!
If you're a custom guy or gal, you know just how hard it can be to find good, usable body and trim parts to create the custom of your dreams for cars that are 50 or 60 years old. Sure they're still out there, but at a price, often one that's out of reach for many. One of the most desirable parts for use on all manner of customs has always been the '49 Chevy front license plate guard, yet originals are in short supply. Even most '49 Chevys have had them removed long ago.
So how would you like a brand-new guard? If only, right? Well, The Filling Station has put them back in production. Designed for the '49, though it'll bolt right up to '49-52 Chevy bumpers, a little judicious trimming will see it fit many other makes and models. For more information, contact The Filling Station at (800) 841-6622 or www.fillingstation.com.

Dasa (Sanskrit दास dāsa) is the name of a group of people that appears in ancient Sanskrit texts. It potentially designated a distinct group within the Vedic Aryan fold or may refer to the non-Aryans living in the Indian subcontinent. The term later may have acquired the connotation of "enemy" due to warfare between the original inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent and the foreign Indo-Aryan tribes.
The Dasa are often identified as the wealthy cattle-raising non-Indo-European populations subdued by the people practicing Vedic rituals in the course of the Indo-Aryan migration. Asko Parpola proposed that the original Dasas were fellow Indo-Iranians of the Bactria–Margiana Archaeological Complex who initially rejected Aryan religious practices, but were later merged with them. A similar term for enemy people, Dasyu, is also used in the Rigveda.
The term Dasa in religious context is used in the sense of a "devotee".
Dāsa, Dasyu and Ārya[edit]
The Dāsa appear as a hostile ("savage, barbarian, infidel") population in the Rigveda. In the later Vedic texts, the meaning shifts to "devotee". The Rigvedic Dasa and Dasyu are characterized by their not following the religion of the Aryas; hence, the term implied "impiety", and Aryan kings could also become "Dasyu" if their behaviour was considered irreligious; thus, in the battle of the Ten Kings, the king Sudas calls his enemies (which included Vedic peoples like the Anus, Druhyus, Turvashas, and even Purus) "Dasyu" (RV 7.6, 12-14, 18). There is also a Dasa Balbutha Taruksa in RV 6.45.31 who is a patron of a seer and who is distinguished by his generosity (RV 8.46.32). There are several hymns in the Rigveda that refer to Dasa and Aryan enemies [1] and to related (jami) and unrelated (ajami) enemies (e.g. 1.111.3, 4.4.5); still, in the battle of the ten kings, there are Dasas and Aryas on both sides of the battlefield and in some Rigvedic verses, the Aryas and Dasas stood united against their enemies.[2] The word "dasa" is contained in the name of a famous Vedic king, Divodāsa.[3] The concept of the Dasa as a hostile, autonomous tribe with a different religion is absent from the later Vedas.
The meaning of the word dāsa, which has been long preserved in the Saka language, is "man".[citation needed]
The term Dasyu is not necessarily from the same root as Dāsa (Monier-William considers it a derivation from das "to be exhausted"). The Rigveda and Atharvaveda apply it to individual enemies of the gods, defeated by Indra or Agni, to impious men or to "barbarians" described as anā́s "ugly-faced", ádhara "inferior" or á-mānuṣa' " inhuman". In Epic Sanskrit, dasyu may be any outcast, or any former Hindu who has become an outcast by neglect of the essential rites.
The Buddha explains to Asvalayana, that "in Yona, Kamboja and other (adjacent) frontier regions, there are only two castes : Arya and Dasa. One having been an Arya may become a Dasa, one having been a Dasa may become an Arya."[4]
In modern-day Indo-Aryan languages, the term has a meaning of "devotee", and in some cases of "thief"; "Dasyu" has become "Daku" or "Dacoit" in the English language.[5]
Rigvedic Dasas/Dasyus[edit]
In the Rig Veda, Dasa, Dasyu and similar terms (e.g. Pani) occur sometimes in conjunction with the terms krsna ("black") or asikni ("black"). This was often the basis for a "racial" interpretation of the Vedic texts. But Sanskrit is a language that uses many metaphors. The word cow for example can mean Mother Earth, sunshine, wealth, language, Aum etc. Words like "black" have similarly many different meanings in Sanskrit, as it is in fact the case in most languages. Thus "black" has many symbolical, mythological, psychological and other uses that are simply unrelated to human appearance. Bhagavan Shri Shanmukha Anantha Natha is the first scholar to define that the 'blackness' of Krishna is not a racial interpretation but refers to the Absolute in its phase of manifestation as denoted by Samkhya philosophy.[citation needed] The Rig Veda does not refer to ethnic terms but philosophical realities. Krishna too is described as an Asura and this does not mean that he is a 'black Indigene' waiting on the banks of the Amshumati river to fight with Indra (RVIII. 85. 13-15) but that the Absolute is in a stage of manifestation allegorically depicted by the 'black drop' in the Rig Veda.
Also Iyengar (1914) commented on such interpretations: "The only other trace of racial reference in the Vedic hymns is the occurrence of two words, one krishna in seven passages and the other asikini in two passages. In all the passages, the words have been interpreted as referring to black clouds, a demon whose name was Krishna, or the powers of darkness." (6-7, Iyengar, Srinivas. 1914.)
The term krsnavonih in RV 2.20.7 has been interpreted by Asko Parpola as meaning "which in their wombs hid the black people". Sethna (1992) writes, referring to a comment by Richard Hartz, that "there is no need to follow Parpola in assuming a further unexpressed word meaning "people" in the middle of the compound krsnayonih", and the better known translation by Griffith, i.e. "who dwelt in darkness" can be considered as essentially correct.[6] Another scholar, Hans Hock (1999), finds Karl Friedrich Geldner's translation of krsnayonih (RV 2.20.7) as "Blacks in their wombs" and of krsnagarbha (RV 1.101.1) as "pregnant with the Blacks" "quite recherché" and thinks that it could refer to the "dark world" of the Dasas.
In RV 4.16.13, Geldner has assumed that "krsna" refers to "sahasra" (thousands). But this would be grammatically incorrect. If krsna would refer to "sahasra", it should be written as krsnan (acc. pl. masc.). Hans Hock (1999) suggests that "krsna" refers to "puro" (forts) in this verse.
For sure the Vedic writers wrote of the Dasa-Dasyus as people who lived in evil or darkness. The RV 2.2.7[7] says, "Indra the Vrtra-slayer, Fort-destroyer, scattered the Dasa hosts who dwelt in darkness."
Hymn XXIV reads of Brahmanaspati defeating the Dasyu demon Vala, "He drave the kine forth and cleft Vala through by prayer, dispelled the darkness and displayed the light of heaven."
The Vedic seers pray evil or darkness stay away from them: "May I obtain the broad light free from peril: O Indra, let not during darkness seize us."
Hymn XL, speaking of Devas Soma and Pusan reads, "At birth of these two Gods all Gods are joyful: they have caused darkness, which we hate, to vanish."
Hymn 3.1.3 reads of Agni, "Bull, who beholdest men, through many mornings, among the dark ones shine forth red, O Agni."[8]
Hymn 3.2.17 reads that dark (metaphor for evil) people are purified through Deva Surya: "To thee proceed the dark, the treasure-holders, both of them sanctified by Surya's bounty."
Hymn 3.3.3 writes of Indra and his twin brother Agni killing darkness with light: "Killing the darkness at the light's foundation, the Couple newly born attain their beauty."[9]
There are three instances in the Rigveda where the phrase krsna (or ashikni) tvac occurs, literally translating to "black (or swarthy) skin":
- 1.130.8de mánave śâsad avratân tvácaṃ kṛṣṇâm arandhayat
- — "Plaguing the lawless he [Indra] gave up to Manu's seed the dusky skin" (trans. Griffith)
- 9.41.1 prá yé gâvo ná bhûrṇayas / tveṣâ ayâso ákramuḥ / ghnántaḥ kṛṣṇâm ápa tvácam[10]
- — "(Praising the Soma-juices) which descend like streams of water, swift, brilliant, rapid driving off the black covered (Rakshasa who are darkness)"[11]
- 9.73.5cd índradviṣṭām ápa dhamanti māyáyā tvácam ásiknīm bhûmano divás pári[12]
- — "Blowing away with supernatural might from earth and from the heavens the swarthy skin which Indra hates." (trans. Griffith)
Tvac "skin" does, however, also take a secondary, more general meaning of "surface, cover" in the Rigveda, in particular referring to the Earth's surface. For this reason, there can be debate on whether instances of krsna tvac should be taken to refer literally to a "black skinned people". Maria Schetelich (1990) considers it a symbolic expression for darkness. Similarly, Michael Witzel (1995b) writes about terms like krsna tvac that "while it would be easy to assume reference to skin colour, this would go against the spirit of the hymns: for Vedic poets, black always signifies evil, and any other meaning would be secondary in these contexts". Hans Hock argues along similar lines [13]
The Rigvedic commentator Sayana explains the word tvacam krsna (RV 1.130.8) as referring to an asura (demon) called Krsna whose skin was torn apart by Indra.
In RV 5.29.10, the word anasa is in connection with the Dasyus. Some scholars have translated anasa as "noseless". But the classical commentator Sayana translated anasa as "without mouth or face" (anas = an "negative" + as "mouth"). Sayana's translation is supported by the occurrence of the word mrdhravacah in the same verse. Sayana explains the word mrdhravacah as "having defective organs of speech" (Rg Veda 1854-57:3.276 n.). The description of Dasas as "nose-less" and "mouth-less" is method of associating the demonic Dasa as disfigured beings, who are covered by ignorance (black).
The religion of the Dasas/Dasyus[edit]
The main difference between the Aryas and the Dasas in the Rig Veda is a difference of religion.[14] Already A. A. Macdonell and A. B. Keith (1912) remarked that: "The great difference between the Dasyus and the Aryans was their religion... It is significant that constant reference is made to difference in religion between Aryans and Dasa and Dasyu." The Dasas and Dasyus are also described as brahma-dvisah in the Rig Veda,[15] which Ralph T.H. Griffith translates as "those who hate devotion" or "prayer haters". Thus Dasa has also been interpreted as meaning the people that don't follow the same religion as the Aryans. Rig Veda 10.22.8 describes the Dasa-Dasyus as a-karman (non-performers of Aryan sacrifices), anya-vrata (observers of other rites) and in Rig Veda 10.105.8 they are described as anrc (non-singer of laudatory hymns). In RV 8.70.11 they are described as a-deva-yu (not regarding Deva ).[16]
Post-Vedic use[edit]
Use of religious "devotees"[edit]
A guru or sat guru in various traditions of Hinduism is given the name Das or devotee of God in order to designate the guru as a pure teacher. The guru may also be called uda ka das, meaning the devotee of the one God.[17] The other Sanskrit meaning of devotee is retained in all Indian languages in which devotion to personal God is practiced. In Tamil tontai or dasa is commonly used to refer to devotees of Vishnu or Krishna.[18] According to Gaudiya Vaishnava theology Smriti statement dāsa-bhūto harer eva nānyasvaiva kadācana, living entities (bhuto) are eternally in the service (dasa) of the Supreme Lord (Hari).[19] Thus designation for Vaishnava followers of svayam bhagavan Krishna was the status title dasa as part of their names as in Hari Dasa.[20]
The present day usage of Dasa or Das in Hinduism has a respectful connotation and means "votary" or "devotee of God." For example, Mohandas Gandhi's first name, Mohandas, means devotee of Mohan or Krishna. Also, the name Surdas means devotee of Sur or Deva. In the past, many saints of all castes added it in their names signifying their total devotion or surrender to God. Das is one of the common surnames of Brahmins, both in Northern and Northeastern India.
Furthermore in the bhakti yoga tradition, a person can be in a relationship with God in any of the 5 principal ways. One of the relationships is called Dasya-bhakti, meaning being a "devotee of God." All initiated male members of ISKCON have the word "Das" or "Dasa" at the end of their initiated names, meaning devotee of Krsna. All initiated female members of ISKCON have the words "Devi Dasi," which means devotee of the goddess or Radha. Dasi is the feminine form of Das. Example: Urmila Devi Dasi. The first part of their names is a name for something connected with divinity; often a name of Radha Krishna or Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
In Hindu revivalism[edit]
Hindu revivalist authors like Sri Aurobindo believe that words like Dasa are used in the Rig Veda symbolically and should be interpreted spiritually, and that Dasa does not refer to human beings, but rather to demons who hinder the spiritual attainment of the mystic. Many Dasas are purely mythical and can only refer to demons. There is for example a Dasa called Urana with 99 arms (RV II.14.4), and a Dasa with six eyes and three heads in the Rig Veda.[21]
Sri Aurobindo [22] commented that in the RV III.34 hymn, where the word Arya varna occurs, Indra is described as the increaser of the thoughts of his followers: "the shining hue of these thoughts, sukram varnam asam, is evidently the same as that sukra or sveta Aryan hue which is mentioned in verse 9. Indra carries forward or increases the "colour" of these thoughts beyond the opposition of the Panis, pra varnam atiracchukram; in doing so he slays the Dasyus and protects or fosters and increases the Aryan "colour", hatvi dasyun pra aryam varnam avat."[23] Thus, Aurobindo sees the Arya varna or lustre of the thoughts that Indra increases as psychological. In several Lord Indra is also said to be a white bull with and his friends are the Maruts, who are horses so when the Rig Veda speaks of a certain color they mean the color of god as an animal. For example, the twin deities Nastya and Dasra are said to be "horse princes."[citation needed] In some Rig Vedic verses, even Lord Agni is said to be the red bull that stands out from the dark bulls.[24]
According to Aurobindo (The Secret of the Veda), RV 5.14.4 is a key for understanding the character of the Dasyus:
- Agni born shone out slaying the Dasyus, the darkness by the light, he found the Cows, the Waters, Swar. (transl. Aurobindo)[25][26]
Aurobindo explains that in this verse the struggle between light and darkness, truth and falsehood, divine and undivine is described.[25] It is through the shining light created by Agni, god of fire, that the Dasyus, who are identified with the darkness, are slain. The Dasyus are also described in the Rig Veda as intercepting and withholding the Cows, the Waters and Swar ("heavenly world"; RV 5.34.9; 8.68.9). It is not difficult, of course, to find very similar metaphors, equating political or military opponents with evil and darkness, even in contemporary propaganda.
K.D. Sethna (1992) writes: "According to Aurobindo,(...) there are passages in which the spiritual interpretation of the Dasas, Dasyus and Panis is the sole one possible and all others are completely excluded. There are no passages in which we lack a choice either between this interpretation and a nature-poetry or between this interpretation and the reading of human enemies." And according to Koenraad Elst: "When it is said that Agni, the fire, "puts the dark demons to flight", one should keep in mind that the darkness was thought to be filled with ghosts or ghouls, so that making light frees the atmosphere of their presence. And when Usha, the dawn, is said to chase the "dark skin" or "the black monster" away, it obviously refers to the cover of nightly darkness over the surface of the earth." [27]
Dasa and related terms have been examined by several scholars.[28] While the terms Dasa and Dasyu have a negative meaning in Sanskrit, their Iranian counterparts Daha and Dahyu have preserved their positive (or neutral) meaning. This is similar to the Sanskrit terms Deva (a "positive" term) and Asura (a "negative" term). The Iranian counterparts of these terms (Daeva and Ahura) have opposite meanings. The terms Dasyus and Asuras as negativity personified in the Rg Veda (RVIII. 85.9) (RV. VIII. 66.3), and especially personified by Vrtra, the slayer of Indra, positivity personified, was first put forward by Bhagavan Shri Shanmukha Anantha Natha in his work Divine Initiation (Singapore, Shri Kali Publications, 2001), 19. This concept, as he outlines it, is similar to the Yin-Yang concept of the East Asians. The Aryans are also personifications and this idea is also put forward by Anantha Natha in the above work.

The Cubism filter
White Painting, 1951, Robert Rauschenberg
It was only when the metaphysical implications of abstraction—first evinced in Malevich's Black Square–began to intermingle with the implications of the Duchampian Readymade that the process of undermining the hegemony of painting would begin. The first significant postmodern elaboration came in 1951 when Robert Rauschenberg created White Painting, consisting of four stretched canvases covered with house paint. When Rauschenberg exhibited more white paintings at Eleanor Ward's Stable Gallery in September 1953, Barnett Newman—a practitioner of the genre of Hard Edged Abstractionism—commented that "He thinks it's easy. The point is to do it with paint." (in Kotz 1990: 79). But the younger Rauschenberg was more in tune with the spirit of the time than Newman, realising that in the wake of the Duchampian Readymade the point of postmodern art is to shift the boundaries of art beyond specific media. Painting would ultimately become reduced to being simply one more colour in an ever-expanding artistic palette.

I am determined to discover how a person thinks, not just what they know. Reasoning ability is a central component of my educational philosophy. When you work with me, you are working with a seasoned math expert and an enthusiastic (slightly nerdy) engineering professional. I provide high quality materials and effective, customized plans for standardized tests (SAT Math, SAT II Math Subject Tests, GRE Quant, GMAT Quant) and academic subjects (Algebra I & II, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, Statistics).
My goal is to help high school students, college students, and college graduates gain the skills and confidence they need to crush any standardize test, ace any math course, and optimize their chances of reaching their academic and professional goals. Improving math skills creates opportunities, and if you ask me, it's a pretty good pastime too.
