Cataract Surgery Recovery
Cataract surgery is widely accepted as one of the safest and most commonly performed surgical procedures in the world that effectively reduces the symptoms associated with cataracts. In fact, over 3 million procedures are performed each year in the United States alone. Cataract surgery recovery is often very brief, with most patients returning to normal activities within days of surgery. Complications are rare, and significant complications occur in less than one percent of cases. During your recovery, it is important to follow your ophthalmologist's instructions closely, and contact your doctor if you experience any changes to your vision.
After Surgery
The cataract surgery procedure is quick, and can usually be accomplished in approximately 10 minutes. Immediately afterwards, you will rest in a recovery area while you are monitored by your doctor. The time spent in the recovery area will vary depending on whether sedation or a local anesthetic was used, but typically ranges from 30 minutes to an hour.
Following your cataract surgery, you will need to be driven home because your vision will be impaired. Most patients only experience minimal discomfort after cataract surgery, and they may also encounter some mild redness or a sensation of itchiness in the affected eye. It is recommended that you rest for the remainder of the day to promote healing.
During your cataract surgery recovery, it important to:
- Use prescribed eye drops. Your ophthalmologist will order a series of eye drops designed to control any post-operative inflammation inside the eye, and to control intraocular pressure.
- Use a protective shield. During the first week following surgery, it is especially important to avoid bumping or scratching your eye at night, which is why your ophthalmologist will provide you with a protective shield to wear over your eye as you sleep.
- Wear sunglasses. Because your eyes may be especially sensitive to light and glare during the days immediately following your procedure, it is important to protect them from sunlight. If possible, choose a pair with high levels of UVA/UVB protection.
- Keep the eye area clean. To avoid exposing your healing eye to bacteria, your ophthalmologist will likely recommend avoiding eye makeup for the week following your cataract surgery.
- Avoid heavy lifting. As your eye heals, avoid strenuous physical activity, including lifting heavy objects, which can increase your intraocular pressure.
- Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your eye area
- Avoid rubbing or putting pressure on your eye
The day after cataract surgery, your surgeon will likely perform a post-operative exam to ensure that the eye is healing properly. Additional appointments will also be made for the following week, and the following month.
Cataract surgery recovery time is considered to be approximately six weeks. However, most patients should find that any pain or discomfort will subside within a day or two of their surgery. Immediately following cataract surgery, patients may experience some pain and irritation of the eye. Many patients also experience increased light sensitivity and a small amount of fluid discharge after cataract surgery. Special pills and eye drops may be prescribed to promote healing and regulate the pressure inside the eye. Pain relievers may also be taken during the first few days if necessary. Follow-up exams allow the physician to monitor patient progress. Sunglasses or eye shields can help protect the eye while it is healing.
Despite the marked improvement that cataract surgery offers, most patients will continue to wear contacts or glasses after their cataract treatment. After cataract surgery, there will be a period of recovery time while the eyes adjust to seeing without the cataract. If only one eye is treated, the eyes must learn to work together again. Many everyday activities can be resumed soon after cataract surgery, although patients may experience blurry vision for a time. Driving may be impractical and unsafe at first; the physician will advise the patient on the appropriate time to begin driving again after cataract treatment. Also, patients who receive intraocular lenses (IOLs) may notice some color distortion at first. This should resolve itself within a few months, as the eyes adjust to the new, clear lenses of the IOLs.
Cataract surgery is generally considered to be safe and effective. As with any surgical procedure, there are certain risks associated with the procedure. The following cataract surgery complications may occur following treatment:
- Infection: As the eye is healing, it is particularly vulnerable to infection-causing bacteria. Your ophthalmologist may caution you to avoid touching your eye area following surgery, and to wash hands thoroughly before inserting prescribed eye drops.
- Inflammation: Following eye surgery, a slight amount of inflammation inside the eye is to be expected. Your ophthalmologist will likely prescribe a week-long regimen of eye drops to control inflammation.
- Retinal detachment: Following cataract surgery, it is important that you pay attention to any flashes of light or "floaters" in your field of vision. These symptoms should be treated as a medical emergency.
- Secondary cataracts: When the cataract-clouded lens of the eye is removed, the posterior capsule is left in place. Occasionally, this capsule becomes clouded and presents a condition known as a "posterior capsule opacity." Fortunately, secondary cataracts are easily treated with a quick laser procedure known as a YAG capsulotomy.
- Bleeding
- High pressure in the eye
- Lens displacement
- Swelling of the cornea
- Secondary cataracts (posterior capsule opacity)
Most of these cataract surgery complications are very rare. Discussing treatment with a qualified ophthalmologist ahead of time and following the doctor's recommendations may reduce the risk of cataract surgery complications. Most patients report favorable cataract surgery results, including improved vision.
If cataract surgery complications occur, it is important to contact a medical professional immediately. When left untreated, inflammation, infection and retinal detachment could lead to permanent vision loss. If you experience any of the following symptoms, they may indicate cataract surgery complications. It is important to contact a medical professional right away to prevent permanent vision loss.
- Unusually blurry vision, or sudden vision loss
- Eye pain
- Redness of the eye
- Bright flashes or "floaters"

Previous college-level coursework and/or significant preparation in environmental studies, ecology, biology, or related fields, as assessed by SIT. Four recent semesters of college-level Spanish or equivalent and the ability to follow coursework in Spanish, as assessed by SIT.
Through this interdisciplinary program, students gain an understanding of the diverse ecological zones of Ecuador, major plant and animal adaptations to life in each zone, appropriate uses for natural resources, and current environmental issues along with management practices. Students are also introduced to a broad panorama of Ecuadorian life and culture; rich indigenous and Spanish history, traditions, and current values; and political, economic, environmental, social, and cultural challenges facing contemporary society. During the Environmental Research Methods and Ethics course, students learn how to integrate both social science and ecological field techniques through anthropological and field ecology projects. These skills will then be applied during the Independent Study Project (ISP). Throughout their coursework and life in Ecuador, students apply their Spanish to the theme of the program and a deeper understanding of Ecuador.
The following syllabi are either from a recent session of this program or for an upcoming session. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, actual course content will vary from term to term.
The syllabi can be useful for students, faculty, and study abroad offices in assessing credit transfer. Read more about credit transfer.

Preserving historic magazines digitally keeps time from crumbling away
Before television and even before radio, American families had some free time in the evenings.
What occupied the time?
"In the early 20th century, magazines were definitely that thing," Sean Latham, a University of Tulsa professor and director of the Modernist Journals Project at TU.
They fulfilled the function of television today, offering a variety of ideas and images affordable enough to be popular with the masses.
"There would have been many more magazines in a home than books, for example," Latham said. "Books were expensive. Magazines were cheap."
Time has not been kind to the paper on which these now-historic artifacts were printed, however. The Modernist Journals Project seeks to acquire and digitize full runs of periodicals, ensuring that future generations will be able to study such titles as The Crisis, a publication of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and The Little Review, in which the first version of James Joyce's Ulysses was serialized.
The project began in the 1990s, when Latham was a graduate student at Brown University. At first the plan was to digitize a single title, The New Age, which featured the writing of notable authors including English translations of Sigmund Freud and Friedrich Nietzsche.
The learning experience led to digitizing other magazines.
"It was at that point we began to discover how tenuous the magazine archive was. That is, not many places had preserved them. Those places that had preserved them had not preserved them well," Latham said.
But the work continues on, both at Brown and at TU, with thousands of magazines issues from 1922 and earlier now digitally archived. A recent $270,000, two-year grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities drew the scorn of Sen. Tom Coburn, who placed it on his list of wasteful government spending.
Latham, however, said that TU and Brown provide financial support for the program, and that such support has sustained the project over the years.
He noted how magazines played roles that cut across class and even geography.
"In the early 20th century, there were many more magazines that appealed broadly than there are now, so these were magazines aimed at enormous readerships," Latham said.
The work provides a rich insight into history that is useful to more than the literary crowd, he noted.
Part of the effort involves finding magazines with full advertising section intact. In the early days of magazines, ads were amassed in one section of a magazine -- and often thrown out by libraries that archived magazines.
"One of the things that makes this advertising interesting is this is the moment advertising was born, really as a print medium beyond sort of just lines of text in a magazine," Latham said. "So you really see it play out in the pages of these magazines, advertising understanding itself as a profession, as a discourse, as an aesthetic practice."
The project focuses on a surprisingly wide range of periodicals. Currently work is being done to digitize The Masses, a socialist publication whose publishers were prosecuted under the country's Sedition Act because of opposition to World War I.
A former TU student who worked on the project has now embarked on a similar project, The Pulp Magazines Project. Patrick Scott Belk, who earned his doctoral degree this year, described the project as a labor of love.
"It's a time-consuming process. We now have, I think, about 140 magazines online," said Belk, a visiting lecturer at the University of West Florida.
Such magazines -- which might feature detective stories or science fiction -- are popular with collectors, Belk said.
Of course, the magazines were also popular at the time, Belk said.
"For the cost of a movie ticket, you could buy about 200 pages of fiction, with several different authors, several different stories," Belk said.
Belk said his work remains fairly crude compared to the work done at TU.
In addition to photographing the old magazines page by page, the Modernist Journals Project catalogs the content by author, for example, making it easier for researchers to find just what they're looking for.
But "it's not just a little niche academic thing that we're doing," Latham said. "We receive several hundred unique visitors a day."
One popular page for teachers is on how best to structure a course or lesson focused on a magazine. The Crisis is the most popular magazine visited on the site, suggesting that others have recognized its historical value, Latham said.
"Our goal has always been to make this stuff available. The MJP is free. It always has been, it always will be," Latham said, adding, "we put it out there so other people can do interesting stuff with it."
In addition to making available the arresting cover art and illustrations for browsing, the project also creates data files for each issue that allow for scholars to study text using a the methods of the digital humanities, a blossoming field of study that looks at keywords and text and analyzes them for patterns.
Latham said the project has urgency based on the fragility of the magazines themselves. While the project works closely with libraries when possible, sometimes eBay provides a source for purchasing rare items.
Unfortunately, advertising from the early 20th century is popular enough that sometimes single pages are ripped out and sold on the auction site, Latham said.
When it comes to finding these magazines, "some of them are really just now on the very brink of literal destruction," Latham said.
TU Arts and Sciences Dean Tom Benediktson also noted another advantage to the digitized versions of the magazines.
"You can't steal a volume out of this set," Benediktson said.

A final vote on the proposed sand mine north of Manawa has stalled and it could be months before the matter is voted on again.
According to WLUK-TV, the controversial project was put off by the county's planning and zoning committee.
The company behind the project, A.F. Gelhar just needed the go ahead from the Waupaca County committee. But multiple concerns were raised at Thursday's meeting, five committee members decided to send the matter back to the Town of Union.
The mine promises to bring millions of dollars and more than 30 jobs into Waupaca County. It would go on 160 acres of land in the town of Union and mainly supply the Waupaca Foundry.
Those against the mine said it could threaten the environment.

NDE is short for Near Death Experience. This is where someone goes unconscious, becomes clinically dead, sees some sort of vision, and is then revived to tell the tale.
Here's why they're bunk.
1) When does an NDE take place?
Did you have a dream last night? Do you know when it occured? Most people who said yes to the first would answer no to the second unless they actually looked to see what time it was (by a clock / seeing the sun or moon / etc).
Those arguing in favor of NDE's always overlook the fact that NO ONE has ever gone from being completely conscious to having an NDE and back to complete consciousness. Most individuals who experience them are in hospitals, not in their right minds and slip out of consciousness... sometimes for hours.
So, to believe all this, you must accept that individuals develop some magical sixth sense that allows them to tell when their experiences take place... an ability they lack while healthy, but which they miraculously gain while DEAD.
"Nope. It couldn't have been a dream while I was asleep after they got done bringing me back. I know I saw teh god while I was dead. Because... I say so!"
2) Rare occurances.
I have no doubt that there are individuals who see something when they go under (probably while they're unconscious, but still very much alive), but for every person that has an NDE, there are hundreds or even thousands who do not. They are rare occurances and even under near identical conditions some individuals never report having them.
I'm also sure there are a number of people who claim to have them to gain attention.
3) They prove nothing.
You went clinically dead and came back. Your brain worked before. Your brain works after. Even if you flatline, it's far more likely that your brain was semi-working while you were under... (Remember that many hospitals don't attach brain wave monitors to trauma patients.) ... than something mystical happened to a non-existant "soul" you've convinced yourself you have.
If we wanted to, we could spend days imagining supernatural elements for every aspect of our bodies.
NDE's just evidence that we don't know everything about the brain. Calling them anything beyond hallucinations is just a form of god-of-gaps reasoning.

Yamaha SY22
The SY22 is one of these digital synthesizers with a thin metallic sound. It uses a synthesis method known as vector synthesis (similar to that on the ProphetVS and Korg Wavestation) in which samples and FM sounds (adapted from Yamaha's DX line) are altered and combined using the on-board joystick to create new and often interesting sounds. Joystick moves can be recorded and repeated too, a feature rarely seen until the JP-8000 came!
There is no filter, no resonance, no ring modulator sand no sign of any arpeggiators or sequencers on-board. Although this is unfortunate, its strengths lie in its ability to record data manipulation in real-time and its multitimbrality - both of which lend themselves to creating some complex and cool sounds perfect for ambient, dub and industrial styles. It also has a drum kit sound set and simple built-in effects. A desktop module version of the SY22 is the TG33 which also has increased memory. The SY22 has been used by Moby, Skinny Puppy and Scanner.
So if you find an extremely cheap broken one that has the problem of having no sound come out of the main outs (but it still turns on and works etc) you can still salvage it!

5420 Highway 93 (1 km. northeast of Radium Hot Springs on Highway 935)
Radium Hot Springs, BC
Sometimes it's nice to get away from it all. Really get away. And sometimes a short three-hour drive is enough to make that happen. That's the time it takes to drive from Calgary to Radium Hot Springs.
The resort community, which is on the banks of the Columbia River, is a haven for die-hard golfers, and with good reason. The area boasts 15 championship golf courses, not to mention views of two mountain ranges (the Rocky and Purcell Mountains).
No trip to Radium is complete without a soak in the Radium Hot Springs Mineral Pools. These pools, which are the biggest hot spring pools in Canada, do one thing, really well – they make you relax! Get in for a soak and admire the natural rock walls that border the pools, and ponder how amazing it is to unwind in a naturally occurring phenomenon.
Got the kids with you? They'll love splashing around in the cooler pool, which has a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius. There are slides and a diving board and lifejackets available for the smaller folk.
Take your relaxation one step further and visit the Hot Springs' day spa, where you can choose from a menu of treatments: massage, facials, body wraps – even reflexology. After your treatment, you can continue to revel in the spa experience in their steam room and plunge pool.
If you like to "earn" your soak in the hot springs (as if you haven't already), you'll find plenty of ways here. In addition to golfing and skiing, there's hiking, white water rafting, go-carting and fishing. And no matter how you spend your daylight hours, you have abundant choices for where to dine and where to unwind at the end of the day.
Radium Hot Springs is close to several major ski resorts, including Panorama, Fairmont, and Kicking Horse.

Wow! There are some really beautiful guitars in this thread.
Well....maybe I'm still dealing with the fact that previously, someone pulled out of a trade deal for my Westie, saying that they liked "everything except the little sea horse".
For the current one.....Come to think of it...it DOES look a lot like a turtle.
PS...I think you can say ass here. Unless your ass is worth a lot of $$$$$$

BOSS VT-1 Voice Transformer
The VT-1 Voice Transformer is like a simple modern-day Vocoder + Harmonizer and then some! Its purpose is to alter the human voice, ideal for DJ's, techno, and other creative uses. The VT-1 will perform such effects as de-tuning, +/- 1 octave pitch shifting, formant shifting and it has built-in digital reverb. There are four prominent sliders for the aforementioned effects. And the Robot button does in fact produce a somewhat vocoder-like sound by fixing the pitch of your voice and fuzzing it. Using the Robot effect in conjunction with the formant and pitch sliders can get some pretty weird vocoder sounds.
The VT-1 has mic-input with adjustable trim level so you can run your voice, or get creative and feed loops and sounds through the VT-1 and transform away with this affordable and simple table-top effect unit. The VT-1 also has its place in professional broadcast work. It can be used to adjust the pitch or even the gender of a person's voice and still sound natural. Or use it to thicken up or harmonize a vocal track for a jingle or commercial track. It's fun, colorful, easy to use, economical and can be quite a useful source of unique effects and sounds, if you're into this sort of thing! Apollo 440 used it for all vocals on "Stop the Rock".

This was one of the best hostel we stayed at during our trip! Mary was so friendly, very cool, and helpful. We felt very save, had access to a kitchen and tv, and the rooms are more old-fashioned and cozier than most other modern hostels, cool old fashioned key locks! If we're in Cahirsiveen again, definitely Sive hostel

Very friendly familly hostel, helpful, with calm place, you can eat in the garden, cook fish found at fishershop just in the street. Near from valentia Island and skellig Islands (beautifull can be book by the hostel). Near from walking to the fort too. À place to stay. Mixed dormitory is good for one night but has a big bed in. To stay prefer unisex dormitory (larger) or private room on the top (beautifull view) or in the garden

A comfortable little hostel, very conveniently located in Cahersiveen. Staff were very friendly and let us into our room when we arrived off the Kerry Way soaking wet at 11:30 in the morning! And we had sufficient heating in our room to dry off! All facilities were clean and tidy, and a basic breakfast was provided. NB: the ring forts are well worth a visit (and not too far to walk).
