When you combine swimming, biking and running into one event – you have yourself a triathlon. Knowing that each activity is a workout in itself can be daunting especially if you are attempting to enter your first triathlon. Half of the struggle is registering for the event and the other half is preparing for the actual race but where do you begin? You may have heard of the Ironman World Championship, which is one of the most notable triathlons in the world that involves 140.6 miles of intense competition, but this event may be a little intimidating and out of reach for beginners. However, if you are looking to eventually work your way up to this recognized event, check out these tips to help you get on track!
You probably know that the basics of triathlons involve swimming, biking and running, which each alone can be extremely physical! But the key to preparing yourself for the event is consistent training in each sport. Some triathlons may have unregulated distances for each activity which means you may have to build up your endurance in one sport more than another.
For starters, you may know how to swim but did you know that freestyle/front crawl is often the best stroke for a triathlon? It's the most efficient and quickest way to move in open water, so practice this stroke. Avid triathlon participant, Dan Valentine, says that you may feel winded at first, but it's all about the amount of time you spend in the water training. Create a schedule and stick to it so you can work up your arm and leg strength but don't forget to pace yourself for air.
Biking may be a little easier for some than others but jumping on a bike for a competition can be a little frightening. However, you should get used to your bike and the gears so you're comfortable with the way it works. Bike around your town in areas with low volumes of traffic to become acclimated to the way it handles because you'll get a better understanding of how sensitive the brakes are, which gears make it easier or harder to pedal – the whole nine yards. Once you've gotten a feel for the bike, it's time to clip into the pedals because it's the preferred way to power through a triathlon. When you clip in, you'll efficiently send more power to the wheels and therefore increase your speed. It can be a little difficult at first to get used to it, but clipping in is well worth the effort.
Usually the last leg of the race is running and while you may be an avid runner, this part of the race can be difficult because you just got done biking and swimming. This is where you just keep your legs moving at all times during the transition from the bike to the pavement. You can do long distance training all you want to increase your endurance and stamina, but you really need to focus on the transitional periods where you get out of the water and run to the bike and get off the bike and run it out to the finish line. Practice these transitional periods as often as you can to make the whole event come together.
Once you've become well-trained, take a few practice runs of all the sports put together so you can experience the 'race' before it actually begins!

Office of Downtown Development
The City of Rome created the Office of Downtown Development and River Development in 1994 and hired a full-time director at the urging of the Development Authority. In 2000, the position was redefined as Downtown Development and Historic Preservation until 2003 when Preservation was moved to the Planning Department. The position is now devoted, full time, to the revitalization of the downtown district. The Director staffs the Downtown Development Authority oversees the Main Street Program, and the parking program, as well as serving as a ready point of contact for prospects, project management, and administering the downtown revolving loan fund. Other staff members include a parking enforcement officer. Some limited administration assistance is provided through the City's Community Development Department. Board meetings are held the second Thursday of every month in the Carnegie Building located at 607 Broad Street.
The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) was established in 1981 in accordance with the Downtown Development Authority Law. The purpose of the DDA is "the revitalization and redevelopment of the central business district of the city; to develop and promote for the public good and general welfare trade, commerce, industry, and employment opportunities and to promote the general welfare of the state of Georgia." The city appoints a seven-member Board of Directors for four-year terms. The DDA is both a public agency and a private organization. The nature of the DDA brings advantages because their sole concern is the downtown area, avoiding unrelated issues. City officials, businesses, and civic leaders cannot do this because downtown is only one area of concern. The DDA powers include: to purchase and own property; to lease or rent; to finance projects; to receive government grants or loans; to execute contracts; to finance projects; and to receive tax monies. The DDA is primarily a policy and decision-making body and may also be a land developer, landlord, planning organization, or project manager. The DDA's director administers the day-to-day revitalization efforts.
The Main Street Program
The Rome Main Street Program is a part of a national program that encourages economic improvement and physical renovations in downtowns. The Main Street Program builds on the total image, not just a facelift of aging buildings.
Much of Main Street's focus is on intangibles: ideas, attitudes, and economic opportunities. A positive perception by the community must be won and continually renewed. Downtown's current condition is the product of a long and gradual change. It will take time and consistent effort to reverse negatives that have occurred. Change is only going to occur as the result of step-by-step actions. Georgia entered the program in 1980, selected as one of six demonstration states by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The goal is to achieve revitalization within the context of historic preservation stressing self-reliance through partnerships. Rome was accepted into the program in 1981. The Rome Program is jointly sponsored by the City and the DDA, with the DDA as an administrator of the program.
Private & Public Sector Support
The Main Street Process is a four-point approach implemented with private and public sector support:
Business Development: Redefining downtown's position by recruiting new and complementary businesses, finding new uses for buildings and working with existing businesses to improve their ability to target their market.
Design: Improving the physical appearance through attention to buildings, signs, and public areas.
Organization: Identifying and strengthening the ability of leaders to work together managing their businesses.
Promotion: It is the RDDA's philosophy that promotion should be a collective effort on behalf of the merchants.

With modern Game Engines like Unity3D and Pushbutton for Flash it is possible to create a small game with a talented programmer/designer and artist. In fact for a small game this might be the perfect combination… if you can find someone who is that talented.
The problem with this approach is that it does not scale. Not only is it hard to find programmers that are good at design (or designers that are good at programing), you also create a tug of war if everyone is convinced they are designing the game. Too many cooks really do spoil the broth.
In a modern MMO the engineers must be extremely disciplined and focused on creating great content delivery systems. An iterative process that focuses on testing and quality is critical. Handing a scripting language to designers that do not share that focus will only frustrate everyone.
I still feel horrible about going for the cheap laugh at Galaxies' expense. Unfair!

Beware the Hidden Costs of Malicious Synergy
BY Andrew Evans
Synergy may sound like the name of a neon-lit nightclub from the early nineties, but the business buzzword maintains a celebrated status in high-level boardrooms the world over. Mention it in the workplace and you might be met with rolling eyes, yet synergy remains an overarching justification for most corporate mergers and acquisitions – inferring that when it comes to profit, synergy represents the infallible, higher-minded good.
Alas, the business world has become a battlefield of casualties from the kind of aggressive synergy that benefits a few at the expense of many. Whatever the original intent of management, malicious synergy often becomes a convenient cover-up for unholy (yet justified) practices like vulture capitalism, hostile takeovers, cost reduction, downsizing, manipulating stock prices or simply killing the competition.
If the upbeat definition of synergy represents two combined entities that become greater than the sum of their parts (1+1 = 3), then the opposite must also be true. Sometimes in business, 1+1 = 0, or worse, the math turns into a loss so devastating that neither entity recovers. The cheerful 'win-win' mantra of synergy fails to recognize the human fallout that may occur when blending the backlog of unresolved issues from two companies.
'Better together' is a great motto only when it's true. Synergies based solely on cold accounting and short-term quarterly profits may overlook (or blatantly ignore) the less-quantifiable fallout that follows (e.g., absenteeism, job dissatisfaction, overworked employees, poor mental health). A common oversight is for leadership to believe they can make drastic structural changes without it impacting any of the positive elements of the pre-merger status quo.
Consider the broad culture of banking versus the local cultures that banks service. In 2007, Spain's BBVA purchased Alabama's Compass Bank for USD 10 billion – a staggeringly high price that chased away other potentially more 'synergistic' buyers 1. The high hopes of synergizing European capital management with the markets of the American South never paid off – this year, finally, BBVA sold their American acquisition to PNC at a net loss 2.
We talk about 'unlocking' synergies, implying that with just the right twist of the wrist, a particular corporate combination turns into a light-drenched future of growing dividends, but that is merely the vision sold to the shareholder. Most proposed synergies fail because the parties involved are too aggressive in their budgeting. Executive-level decisions may be hyper-focused on cost-cutting and lay-offs, while failing to account for the greater costs associated with dragged-out disruption. Malicious synergy damages company morale and hurts real people while inviting conflict from the management level down to the lowest-paid employees.
Smarter synergies take multiple factors into account, such as customer relations, user experience, and employee satisfaction. Counterproductive synergies occur when the shareholder's impatience outweighs insider knowledge and experience. Any half-decent accountant can show prospective gains in a fixed time period, but how much harder is it to account for an employee's sense of purpose, or to admit that in the long run, two entities might be better off apart.
Killing the Golden Goose With Synergy
Back in 2015, 21st Century Fox acquired National Geographic for just USD 725 million 3. The deal was cast as an 'expanded joint venture' (implying synergy), but entailed Fox cutting nearly a tenth of National Geographic's workforce and splitting the smaller non-profit organization from the broader business ventures (the newly formed 'National Geographic Partners'). Subsequent rounds of layoffs and constant restructuring led to a growing atmosphere of uncertainty and decreased confidence towards executive leadership. The once-celebrated culture of teamwork (based on a shared mission) broke down rapidly as employees competed against one another for fewer and more-stressful jobs. Distrust, anxiety and petty competition replaced the values of creative cooperation that had built National Geographic into a trusted global media brand, dissolving a century's worth of social capital. After four chaotic years, a hollowed-out shell of the original National Geographic was 'synergized' with Disney as part of the media megalith's USD 71.3 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox 4. For most customers today, National Geographic is no longer a magazine, but a yellow rectangle on the streaming service of Disney+ 5.
How often is 'synergy' used as a cover-up for the acquire/strip/flip model, and where does that leave the one-down partner? When the case for synergy is made using primarily monetary metrics (i.e., share price, quarterly cost reduction or financial streamlining), it overlooks the other valuable assets of the lesser partner in an asymmetrical merger (e.g., innovation, institutional memory, loyalty and brand resilience). If a proposed synergy is truly not malicious, then all parties should be able to answer the question, 'How will we maintain cultural integrity in the long term?' In other words, 'How does synergy protect the thing that makes us special?'.
Any corporate veteran can share their war stories when a deal looked great on paper but turned ugly with new management and the significant structural changes that followed. Reluctant non-compliance takes over; shop-floor know-how fails to trickle back up to management; morale drops as the number of all-hands meetings increases. More and more employees begin asking themselves if they are better off now – and then top talent begins to flee, often to a competitor.
Oscar Wilde's poetic warning that 'Each man kills the thing he loves' is a fitting motto for malicious synergy, and in that regard, Big Tech seems to outdo itself in murdering its young. Some of the biggest power players (i.e., Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook) are self-congratulatory in synergizing a buzzing hive of start-ups, but hindsight perspective often reveals a race toward consolidating monopoly.
Breaking Things vs. Breaking People
Back in its glory days, Facebook swaggered around Silicon Valley with the aggressive corporate motto, 'Move fast and break things' 6. As the tech giant began to acquire new apps, platforms and fully-fledged companies, Facebook expanded future business development and secured its place in the market. In a bid to compete against Twitter and Google, Facebook rushed through a USD 1 billion acquisition of Instagram, a popular photo-sharing app with a broad global user base. Whatever case was made for synergy, it soon became apparent that CEO Mark Zuckerberg used Instagram to inflate his own net worth by boosting Facebook stock right before its first IPO.
Like the plot of George Orwell's Animal Farm, the revolutionaries will challenge the status quo until the status quo buys them out. The rise and demise of start-ups is a common tragedy of the tech world, but for Instagram and its family of just 13 employees (mostly artists and photographers), the story of synergy quickly turned into Facebook's fiddling and changing (and changing the values behind) Instagram until it became almost indistinguishable from Facebook 7. Yes, Zuckerberg had successfully swallowed up a competing social media threat, but to what end? The unique photography app had been zombified into a clunky app of ads and self-promotion. In 2018, the original co-founders of Instagram resigned from Facebook in a very public vote of no confidence towards the parent company. Most of the original Instagram employees have since deleted their accounts, rejecting the changed legacy of their innovation 8.
Malicious synergy tends to undervalue the human side of any corporate success story, so that 'breaking things' often means breaking people. Breaking Instagram was just another leger in the mountain of sustained scandals that began to plague Facebook (mostly related to privacy and censorship), but the result was that working for Facebook was suddenly uncool, slowing recruitment while shedding more mobile (read talented, more capable) employees to better situations. Rather than breaking the status quo, Facebook broke its own reputation. The company eventually changed its motto to: 'Move fast with stable infrastructure' 9.
Malicious or not, the tech industry tends to treat synergy as a kind of corporate hack, in which businesses (and the workers with the intellect and skills to create new business) are cut and pasted like bits of code. Rapid cycling of synergies to see what sticks (and what doesn't) can resemble the programmer's path to software development. But humans are not code – the frequent changes, upgrades, patches and beta testing in the name of synergy risks a lot of disillusioned employees.
Indeed, the biggest byproduct of the tech boom may be existential crisis. Among UK-based developers in the financial tech sector, 50% of men (and 40% of women) are uncertain they'll be working at the same company in two years 10. The same study revealed that 92% of millennial developers were unhappy in their jobs. Depression is an epidemic in Silicon Valley, with the youth suicide rate quadrupling in the last decade 11.
The personification of coding capacity (and the personality cults born out of start-up culture) indicates that for all the commercial success of synergy, a consistent percentage of tech industry employees will be dumped and defined as backwards, outdated, 'buggy' or simply irrelevant. Given the accelerated competition of the tech sector, synergy begins to resemble the daily executions in some historic reign of terror.
Wellness: A Better Metric for Synergy
Corporate disruption is cited as a leading cause of the kind of serious employee stress that leads to psychological distress and mental illness. Studies show escalating job stress correlates with a perceived loss of control amid increasing workplace demands 12.
Smarter plans for synergy consider how proposed changes may negatively impact employees. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), these include, 'unrealistic demands, lack of internal support, unfair treatment, low decision latitude, lack of appreciation, effort–reward imbalance, conflicting roles, lack of transparency and poor communication' 13.
Greater transparency and a plan for effective two-way communication can ease synergy. Stronger informational flow helps employees feel heard and validated, while helping management stay on top of changes. A new deal, merger or structural change can occur with a single signature or click, but the intended transition will always take longer.
Planning for a prolonged adjustment period is critical. Studies show that organization changes are more widely accepted when management styles improve 14 . Acknowledging and accommodating for a period of increased stress should be part of any synergy. For example, introducing new opportunities for physical exercise, access to therapy or a better break schedule can help curtail the negative fallout. Accepting that corporate synergy can cause significant life changes or even personal crisis – and planning for it – can make all the difference. Building in extra time for planning and personal adjustment will help employees establish a new work-life balance and form new peer support groups.
Smarter synergy can improve employee wellness, which can pay unforeseen dividends that may be harder to quantify in the black, but become blatantly apparent when they fall into the red.
Avoiding an Unhappy Ending
Aside from the sad human toll of decreased wellness, the rapid cycling of synergies becomes myopic. How many wildly successful start-ups were founded by cast-offs from the larger synergized company? At which point does a single innovative employee realize the executive emperor has no clothes, and then walk away with a new direction for that one piece of unfinished code? Not only can malicious synergy annihilate loyalty, but it runs the risk of quashing innovation, almost ensuring that whatever the next best thing may be, that thing will happen elsewhere, outside the parent company.
Malicious synergy is entirely focused on reaching the better number (no matter the cost) but rarely accounts for other costly side effects: the broken trust and damaged reputation to brand, a core of disgruntled employees (and ex-employees), the overall mental health toll, the impending departure of talent, the rupture of social capital, the loss of institutional memory and the fading away of the very thing that made the original company successful. Rarely do such 'soft' considerations hold any sway in the hyped-up atmosphere of the pre-merger boardroom, but they should.

A Denver woman's house was burglarized on June 3, as she headed to the gym and ran errands.
When Sunni Nucci, a teacher at Mountain Range High School, returned to her Beach Street home, she noticed her window was damaged and her back door slightly open. When she got inside, she found jewelry, a TV, and two laptops missing, CBS Local reported.
But that wasn't all that was missing. The burglar or burglars also stole her 11-week-old puppy, Bella.
Bella is a shih tzu/poodle mix Nucci brought home mid-May.
Since the burglary, which transpired between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m., Nucci took to Facebook to recover her missing puppy.
She set a $2,000 award on June 13 for Bella's return, with the help of GoFundMe, raising $1,685 of the sum in just one day.
Shortly after—11 days after the burglary—a good Samaritan returned Bella to her rightful owner.
According to Fox 31, the woman told Nucci that she paid $200 for the dog outside the Mile High flea market.
"When they bathed her on Sunday, they noticed dye washing from her paws. They realized she had been dyed and her paws were purple," Nucci said.
The woman's daughter recognized Bella from Facebook. The puppy had been scheduled to get a microchip today.
"The minute I saw them carrying her to me I knew it was her. The minute we came upon each other, I knew that's my dog," Nucci told Fox 31.
Although Nucci advertised a $2,000 reward on her Facebook account, she said the family wasn't interested in the money.
"They don't expect a reward, but I guess that makes me want to give one even more so, so they can go and get a new dog. Whatever dog they want, and that doing the right thing is the right thing," Nucci said.
Bella and Sunni are finally reunited, and Nucci couldn't be happier.
"Please share and let people know that MOST people are good and that sometimes life offers a miracle," she wrote on Facebook. "I'm so grateful for your prayers and words! Bella has lost weight and has purple paws, but she will be spoiled like no other dog," adding that before Bella's abduction, she was already pretty much spoiled.


I don't know about you but I'm over the summer, well and truly done with it. It doesn't help that this weather can't quite make up its mind whether it's March or October – it's no joke when you leave the house in a winter coat then come home drenched in sweat. But until we get proper autumnal weather conditions, I can but dream… of soup, sausage and mash and roast chicken on a Sunday afternoon.
The thought of homemade soup might be a daunting one but it doesn't have to be. My current favourite is the straightforward version of the classic leek and potato – the recipe can be found right here on Fiver Feeds – and it takes about 40 minutes to prepare.
There are no expensive ingredients involved (and by expensive, I mean 'meat') and you can easily adapt it to suit vegetarians or non-vegetarians. The last two times I've made this, I boiled up a frozen chicken carcass at lunch time and by five o'clock, I had some lovely fresh chicken stock to provide the soupiness. Of course, this bit is more of a weekend activity, but if you're preparing leek and potato soup during the week, just use vegetable or chicken stock cubes – they're hardly going to break the bank.
I prefer to whizz up everything using a hand blender before I serve but the beauty of this soup is that it can be dished up chunky-style if you so desire.
It's also ridiculously easy to make a bean and pasta based soup. Just make up the base of a tomato sauce by frying some chopped onion and garlic before adding a couple of tins of chopped tomatoes and then some stock. Bring all this to the boil before simmering and seasoning with something suitably Italian before cooking the pasta and the pulses in the broth. If you want something more minestrone-esque then you can pop in some sweetcorn and shredded cabbage too, just before everything has finished cooking.
And now for the bangers and mash. This is fairly self-explanatory, but I like to add a few twists to the essential elements. There are a handful of products I am happy to spend a bit more money than usual on and one of these is good sausages – it really does make such a difference. Cheap sausages taste, well, a bit cheap and their texture leaves a lot to be desired.
I usually just use some good mashing potatoes, butter, milk and seasoning. If I've got a bit more time I push the potatoes through a sieve to get a smoother mash but if you're not fussed about lumps then don't stress too much. A handful of chopped spring onions in the mix adds a bit more bite and when it comes to gravy, I fry some sliced onions in butter, add a tablespoon of flour then whisk in some beef stock (from a cube) until it's a nice, thick consistency.
See, autumn food = easy as pie. Or rather easier than pie. Much, much easier.

Etheridge found guilty of attempted murder, again
A ROCKHAMPTON man has been twice convicted of attempting to murder a woman when he hit her twice in the head with a hammer.
Noa Ronnie Etheridge, 26, was sentenced to 15 years' jail in the Supreme Court in Rockhampton today after a jury found him guilty of the attempted murder of Kerry Gittins in her Koongal home in 2018.
The trial was the result of a successful appeal of Etheridge's first trial and attempted murder conviction for the crime in March 2019.

Etheridge challenged the jury's guilty verdict in the Court of Appeal, arguing that the judge had reminded the jury of the Crown's case during his summing up but not the defence counsel's case, which could have affected his chance of acquittal.

Etheridge had taken a cocktail of drugs when he went to Ms Gittins' house and pretended he needed water for his son before smashing her over the head with a hammer, leaving her with multiple skull and cheek fractures and broken teeth.
Etheridge, who was already on parole for the hit-and-run death of 17-year-old Jamal Lawton, then stole her wallet and car.

Vedic Astrology says that the occurrence of any event in our lives is primarily driven by the planetary position in the birth horoscope. Certain planetary placements and combinations create Raj Yoga in the natal horoscope and certain other combinations and planetary placements create Doshas in the natal horoscope. This section contains a collection of such Pujas which either helps to reduce the malefic effects of badly placed planets or strengthen the effects of strongly placed planets in the natal horoscope.
Rahu should be ahead of the ascendant (Lagna), and Ketu should be behind, and all the planets should fall in between these 2 planets and no planet should be in conjunction with either of those 2 planets (Rahu and Ketu).
Meaning: Whenever, in a birth chart, all the planets come in between Rahu and Ketu they form a Dosh called Kaal Sarp Dosh. For example if Rahu is in second house, Ketu in eighth house and rest of the seven planets (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Moon, Jupiter and Saturn) are placed in between these Rahu and Ketu than Kaal Sarp Dosh is said to be formed.
Astrologers have a divided opinion on the importance of Kaal Sarp Dosh. Some astrologers consider it very important some do not consider it at all. None of the Vedic texts mention of this Dosh which leads to division of opinion amongst astrologers. The above mentioned verse came in to use sometime after 1950s and it does not appear in any of the Vedic texts.
There are 12 different types of Kaal Sarp Dosh and they are classified on the basis of the placement of Rahu and Ketu.
Ananth Kaal Sarp Dosh: This Dosh is formed when Rahu is placed in first house, Ketu in the seventh House and rest of the seven planets are placed in between these two planets.
Kulik Kaal Sarp Dosh: This Dosh is formed when Rahu is placed in second house, Ketu in the eighth House and rest of the seven planets are placed in between these two planets.
Vasuki Kaal Sarp Dosh: This Dosh is formed when Rahu is placed in third house, Ketu in the ninth House and rest of the seven planets are placed in between these two planets.
Shankhpal Kaal Sarp Dosh: This Dosh is formed when Rahu is placed in fourth house, Ketu in the tenth House and rest of the seven planets are placed in between these two planets.
Padma Kaal Sarp Dosh: This Dosh is formed when Rahu is placed in fifth house, Ketu in the eleventh House and rest of the seven planets are placed in between these two planets.
Maha Padam Kaal Sarp Dosh: This Dosh is formed when Rahu is placed in sixth house, Ketu in the twelth House and rest of the seven planets are placed in between these two planets.
Takshak Kaal Sarp Dosh: This Dosh is formed when Rahu is placed in seventh house, Ketu in the first House and rest of the seven planets are placed in between these two planets.
Karkotak Kaal Sarp Dosh: This Dosh is formed when Rahu is placed in eighth house, Ketu in the second House and rest of the seven planets are placed in between these two planets.
Shankhchud Kaal Sarp Dosh: This Dosh is formed when Rahu is placed in ninth house, Ketu in the third House and rest of the seven planets are placed in between these two planets.
Ghaatak Kaal Sarp Dosh: This Dosh is formed when Rahu is placed in tenth house, Ketu in the fourth House and rest of the seven planets are placed in between these two planets.
Vishdhar Kaal Sarp Dosh: This Dosh is formed when Rahu is placed in eleventh house, Ketu in the fifth House and rest of the seven planets are placed in between these two planets.
Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh: This Dosh is formed when Rahu is placed in twelth house, Ketu in the sixth House and rest of the seven planets are placed in between these two planets.
Impact of Kaal Sarp Dosh: This Dosha usually leads to delay and losses in any important work, it may keep your mind unsettled, it may affect health and longevity. An expert astrologer should be consulted to understand the general impact of this Dosha. It will be incorrect to say that everyone who has this combination of planet will suffer as there are many examples of highly successful people with this combination. Some of them are: Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru, Dhirubhai Ambani, Margaret Thatcher, Nelson Mandela, Sachin Tendulkar, Rajnikanth.
Kaal Sarp Dosha Nivaran Puja is usually conducted at a few designated places. Trimbkeshwar in Nashik and Mahakaleshwar in Ujjain are the popular ones for this Puja.

Pitra is referred to our ancestors and family members who are dead. Pitra Dosh is referred to the situation when the departed ancestors or family members have not attained peace or salvation. Importance of blessings from Pitra is explained in Rig Veda (Book 10: Hymn 15). This hymn contains a set of 14 verses and these verses outlines the importance of pleasing Pitra along with the basic procedure to please them and benefits of pleasing the Pitra.
Bowing your bended knees and seated southwards, accept this sacrifice of ours with favour. Punish us not for any sin, O fathers, which we human frailty have committed.
Lapped in the bossom of purple mornings, give riches to a man who give oblations. Grant your sons a portion of that treasure and give them energy.
Our ancient fathers who deserve the Soma (Nectar) who came, most noble, to our banquet. With these let Yama (God of Death), yearning with the yearning, rejoicing eat our offerings at his pleasure.
The above mentioned three verses very clearly highlight the importance of remembering our Pitras along with offering them food of their choice (mostly Kheer).
Astrologically Pitra Dosh is usually seen by Sun - Rahu conjunction or Rahu aspecting Sun in the natal horoscope. The result of Pitra Dosh will largely depend on the house in which Sun and Rahu are conjunct. Moon and Rahu conjunction may also lead to Pitra Dosh, which at times is referred as Maitri Dosh. Some astrologers take Maitri Dosh to be arising on Mother's side and Pitra Dosh on the Father's side. There are some other combination of planets in the birth horoscope which may lead to Pitra Dosh too. An expert astrologer is the best judge to decide over the extent and the effect of Pitra Dosha.
Intentionally done abortions may lead to Pitra Dosha.
A sudden and unnatural death of any relative / ancestors in early age. If someone fails to remember and honour the ancestors properly.
Pitra Dosh Nivaran Puja helps in overcoming the negative impacts of Pitra Dosh. This Puja is often performed at a few designated places like Gaya, Banaras, Pehowa, Tryambkeshwar, Hardwar etc. Gaya is believed to be the best place for Pind Daan and it is believed that many mythological figures like Lord Rama, Yudhistra, Bhisma Pitamaha, Marichi (Brahma's son) performed Pind Daan at Gaya. Some people choose to perform this Puja at home too. An expert astrologer or a senior Pandit should be consulted when performing this Puja at home.

Apple to add ProRes recording to iPhone – this will be a big deal for the camera market
The professional codec is widely used across the film and television industry.
Watch out. Here comes Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL)… yet again.
We know every year with each iteration of its flagship iPhone models, the built-in camera (and in some cases, cameras as in plural) keep getting better and better. A lot of that has to do with the software smarts that Apple has developed into iOS that enable all manner of crafty features such as auto blurring the background and being able to take exceptionally sharp slow-mo footage. All this computational photography voodoo is something traditional camera makers seemingly can't touch, what with their increasingly dated technologies and menu systems and user interfaces.
Now Apple is striking again, but this time on the codec front.
Word is Apple is planning to add ProRes video recording to the iPhone.
This is a big deal because that's a codec normally found in professional video cameras. It's one of the most popular technologies used across the television and film industries because of its high performance, widespread adoption and flexibility.
Per Bloomberg:
The new handsets will include a video version of the phone's Portrait mode feature, the ability to record video in a higher-quality format called ProRes, and a new filters-like system that improves the look and colors of photos, according to people familiar with the matter. The camera features are seen as some of the biggest selling points for the iPhone 12's successor, which is expected to go on sale in the next several weeks.
ProRes, a lossy video compression format, was invented by Apple and introduced in 2007 with Final Cut Studio 2.
A few years back in an effort to take on the big dogs like RED Digital Cinema and Arri, Apple introduced a lossless version of the codec called ProRes RAW — however, based on what I've seen over the past few years the market has yet to take to this version as eagerly and rapidly as the standard ProRes version.
So if Apple does indeed add ProRes to its top-end iPhone it's yet another reason why perhaps filmmakers and video producers will hesitate to invest in expensive and dedicated videography gear. Why bother? The iPhone can seemingly do it all. Well, almost.
There's one more hurdle.
Lenses.
Interchangeable lenses give cinematographers and videographers creative choice. They can dramatically change the look and feel of a given scene thanks to the shifting characteristics afforded by variables such as focal length and f-stop.
Granted, Apple is building multiple lenses into the iPhone itself. So, yes, you can switch to wide angle for an epic, sweeping shot of some landscape. Or use the zoom for a dramatic close-up. The options are there.
But for true cinematography and the most serious of sets will require interchangeable lenses. Those that you typically find made by companies such as Canon, Angenieux, Cooke, Arri, Panavision, among others.
If Apple were to offer an adapter (PL, EF/EF-S) of some sort that would enable cinematographers to use these sorts of lenses then I can really see indie filmmakers gravitating more towards iPhones as the tools of choice.
Nevertheless, I think there will probably be always room for high end (and mid-range) cinema cameras. They typically have options for pro-level XLR audio. Have high capacity removal storage. And, in the case of the RED DSCM2 bodies, have options for extremely high frame rates which are well suited to things look shooting fashion films, sports, and high-end music videos and commercials.
In the meantime Apple keeps chipping away at the dedicated camera market. If I were Canon, Sony, Panasonic I'd be watching closely and increasingly trying to find ways to differentiate from the iPhone, and at the same time modernize (UI, menus, software capabilities, etc.). So far it seems the trick these days to sway camera shoppers is to offer relatively low-cost full-frame models with large sensors that perform well in low-light and produce a stylish look (but are a bugger to keep in focus at low f-stops!).
We will likely see the iPhone 13 (?) in September or October of this year.
I'm guessing the camera will once again be the star of Tim Cook and team's presentations. After all, we're living in a very visual-centric world dominated by YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and, of course, memes as far as the eye can see.

"The scale of the game along with the fact that the camera takes good quality images of the gloriously rendered landscapes leads to a truly satisfying and genuinely photographic experience in which composition, time of day and weather conditions all affect the look of the image.
"I am also glad to be able to show that the horrible, vile, disgusting, misogynistic, barbaric game as painted by the pearl-clutchers can render beauty as well as the dead deer, selfies and crotch shots which admittedly do litter the Rockstar Social site."

Greenwell Family
George and Susan Greenwell with sons Bill and Bob in 1913
Robert (Bob) John Greenwell was born April 18, 1906 in Vancouver. His father George came to Canada originally from England, leaving at a young age to come to America. George travelled up through the states to arrive and settle eventually in British Columbia, where he met Susan Dinah Draper whom he married in 1904. Bob's mother Susan was born in Northfield, Quebec in 1868, coming to British Columbia with family friends. His family moved to Haney in 1912 and built the famliy home on their property on Dewdney Trunk Road (I.C.B.C. property now).
George Greenwell was a carpenter and passed on these skills to his children Bob and Bill. Bob went to school in Haney, attending high school at MacLean High. After high school, Bob worked in the lumber industries, which he was involved with all of his working life. He worked at the Commercial Lumber Company in Webster's Corners for a period in the twenties, but eventually went into timber hauling. He also was interested in agriculture, and through the thirties raised pigs as well as hauled lumber.
As a teenager, Bob played basketball on the local men's team. He also did some boxing. He joined the Oddfellows, and was a lifelong member. However, it was Bob's love of horses that many remember most. From the time of his first horse Paddy (the smartest and best horse) to the many beautiful Arabians that he raised, bred, and showed over the years to the line of naughty Shetlands that were family pets, his interest was sustained. Some of these animals live on with his children and grandchildren as a legacy.
Home built around 1913 by George Greenwell at Dewdney Trunk Road near 228th where ICBC is today.

Bob was also very proud of the shorthorn cattle, which he raised and showed. During the War years Bob was in the local Militia. It was during these war years that he met and married a local school teacher from the prairies, Thelma Jones, on July 3, 1945. The romance apparently started when Bob was on crutches recovering from a bone infection in the knee that developed after medical intervention for a broken ankle.
Bob and Thelma spent one year in Port McNeil on Vancouver Island where Bob was operating a saw mill. In 1946, with his brother Bill he initiated a sawmill operation at the family property on Dewdney, later to be moved to riverfront property in Pitt Meadows. Greenwell Blackstock Lumber Company was later formed and operated on the site until 1966. Thelma and Bob moved into one of the houses on the property on Dewdney alongside his parents, and began raising a family of five girls – Dawn, Susan, Peggy, Bev, Evie.
After retiring from the lumber industry Bob kept busy raising cattle and horses, constructing a house, selling Mutual Fire Insurance, and his major retirement project developing his newly acquired property on 232nd Street where he lived and worked until a stroke disabled him on Sunday May 19, 1996. Bob passed away on Wednesday May 29, 1996.
