The Mayo Clinic recommends a four-phase diet after gastric bypass surgery. The first phase is comprised only of liquids such as broth, unsweetened juice, milk and strained cream soup. The second consists of pureed foods without any solid pieces in the mixture, like lean ground meats, egg whites, and soft fruits and vegetables. The third phase allows soft, solid foods like cooked vegetables, and the fourth reintroduces fully solid foods.Continue Reading
There is not one diet that fits all gastric bypass patients. Doctors will outline dietary guidelines specific to a patient's type of surgery, where the surgery is performed and the individual situation. According to the four phases outlined by the Mayo Clinic, patients move forward in each phase as a doctor monitors the body's response to certain foods.
Some patients may heal faster than others. Generally, patients are able to return to normal dietary habits within three months after surgery. It is not uncommon for patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery to develop an aversion or intolerance to certain foods suddenly.
Immediately following the surgery, patients are not allowed to eat any foods for a period of at least two days to allow the stomach to begin its healing process. The doctor's prescribed diet will begin when the patient can tolerate liquids.Learn more about Nutrition & Diets

Floyd Coldiron was b. 1 Jun 1894, Indianola, Vermilion Co., IN.He died 22 Mar 1969 and is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Dayton, Montgomery Co., OH.
Floyd was s/o John L. Coldiron and Margaret Davis.John and Margaret raised their family in Garrard Co., KY.
The 1900 and 1910 census of John and Margaret's family gives Floyd's birth place as KY.However, in the 1920 census of Floyd's family, he gives his birth place as IL.Other family members have also reported Floyd was born in Indianola, IL.I cannot account for why his parents would report a KY birth place.
Floyd married Sallie Louise White, 30 May 1917, Richmond, Madison Co., KY.Sallie b. 1901, Madison Co., KY, d/o William White and Catherine Thodus.Floyd and Sallie had one child: Caroline T. Coldiron, b. 28 Apr 1918, Madison Co., KY and died 18 Dec 2001, Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., OH.Caroline married Mr. Langland.
MILITARY – Floyd reports in his WW I Draft Registration Card (dated 2 Jun 1917) that he was born in Indianala, IL.His occupation – Nurse.Medium height and build.Dark brown eyes and dark hair.
OBIT – Dayton Daily News, 25 Mar 1969 – Floyd Coldiron, age 74, of 214 Green St. dieed Saturday.He was formerly employed Plant #1, Frigidaire.Veteran of WW I, member of Presbyterian Church of Kentucky.He was a life member of Disabled American Veterans.
That's all I have on Floyd, but I have much more on his ancestors, back to the early 1600's in Germany.
If you have additional information about Caroline Coldiron's family, I would like to add it to my database.Thanks.

Israel builds its first 'eco-friendly' town
It's one thing to adopt environmentally conscious behavior, such as recycling, taking public transportation, and saving water or electricity. But that's not enough for the future residents of the now developing community of Nurit. They plan to live green.
That's because the Mt. Gilboa town of Nurit is set to be the first planned, eco-friendly community in Israel, with infrastructure and services designed not just to encourage, but to actually enforce environmentally responsible behavior. If you're planning on living in Nurit, says Danny Atar, chairman of the Gilboa Regional Council, you're by definition willing to go out of your way to save water, avoid excess waste, and in general reduce your carbon footprint. "Otherwise, Nurit is not for you," he says.
The idea for Nurit stemmed from discussions conducted by Gilboa Regional Council officials nearly a decade ago, as they were seeking to build tourism in the area, as well as comply with new government requirements to introduce environmentally responsible educational programs and activities.
"We are also considering putting up a new town to attract more residents here from the center of the country, and the whole project just sort of made sense," Atar tells ISRAEL21c. "Thus was Nurit born."
First homes ready in a year
And, after intense study and consultations with environmental experts around the world, the town is ready for prime time; work has begun on infrastructure, and the first 100 homes will be ready next year. By 2012, there will be 400 families living in Nurit, Atar says.
Located on Mt. Gilboa itself, Nurit will take advantage of the mountain's wind and sun to generate power, and will install dozens of wind turbines and photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, enough to provide electricity for all the public buildings in Nurit - and then some.
"We recently got approved for a program by the Israel Electric Company, where residents and public buildings will be able to mount solar PV units on their roofs and sell the electricity to the IEC," says Atar.
"Together with turbines to generate electricity from wind, we expect that the electricity we generate will be enough to light most of the schools, offices, streetlights, and park lights in Nurit - as well as save homeowners money on their energy bill, since they can get credits for the power their roof PV systems generate that they don't use, selling it back to the IEC." Atar says.
The regional council has a program that provides loans for residents to buy and install the PV panel setup, or residents can design the systems into their construction plans, he adds.
Trees as cooling canopy Residents will also be asked to grow tall, leafy trees around their homes, creating a natural "cooling canopy" that will help cut down on the need for artificial cooling and heating systems, "saving electricity and reducing pollutants in the atmosphere," Atar says. And, residents will be asked to build their homes using effective insulation systems, to further reduce the need for air conditioners or heaters. "We hope to be able to limit the use of artificial heating and cooling solutions to the hottest or coldest days of the year," Atar says.
Nurit residents will be required to save water - naturally. "In theory, Israel gets more than enough rainfall, but much of the rain is lost to evaporation or runs off to the sea," Atar says. "We are requiring all residents to build rain collection systems and mini-reservoirs to store rainwater. The water will then be funneled into the town reservoir, allowing us to cut down significantly on our use of water from Mekorot, which is drawn from either the Kinneret or Israel's underground aquifers."
With the Kinneret [the Sea of Galilee] at an all time low, and Israel scrambling to build desalination plants to make up for projected water shortages, Nurit's efforts could serve as a model for other, non eco-friendly communities as well.
Saving rainwater is important, but saving "gray water" is even more important, say many environmentalists - and Nurit is requiring all homeowners to install a gray water collection system, which will store waster water from dishwashing, bathing, and other non-sewage ("black water") sources.
The storage of gray water entails building a separate drainage system, which funnels the water into a tank - and is then used for a variety of purposes, such as watering gardens, decorative fountains, etc. "No one in Nurit will be permitted to use fresh water to water his or her lawn," Atar says. "Residents will use gray water to water their lawns and run watering systems for plants or orchards."
Unfortunately, Nurit won't be able to encourage its residents to trade in their cars for commuting by train, because there is no Israel Railways line in the area, at least for now. But the town will have a complete complement of local and inter-city bus service for those who need to travel. Actually, it is expected that most of Nurit's residents will work in the area, either at home businesses, in tourist-oriented services such as bed and breakfasts or restaurants, or at one of the industrial zones in the area.
"Many of the homes have been zoned for use as businesses as well, so a resident can operate a small business in their backyard," Atar says. "There is an industrial zone three minutes out of town, mostly with light manufacturing or agriculture industry allied services. And tourism in this region is expected to skyrocket when regular horse racing begins at the Afula Hippodrome, only a few minutes from here," he adds.
Nurit is open to anyone willing to live by the town's eco-friendly ethos - and many Israelis are willing, apparently, because there is already a long waiting list for lots.
"We've already got about 700 families who have made a deposit to get into the lottery for a chance to buy a plot, with more signing up all the time," Atar says. "The lots, which will have extensive infrastructure to support the gray water drainage and reservoirs system, cost $120,000 to $150,000 - not particularly high for people coming from the center of the country, where many of the Nurit hopefuls come from, and certainly not expensive, when you consider the cost of the infrastructure."
Most applicants are from big cities - Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa and its suburbs. A few people from the kibbutzim in the area have signed up as well, but the majority are new to the lower Galilee. Which already makes Nurit a success, as far as Atar is concerned. "This is a beautiful part of the country to live in, and thanks to Nurit, hundreds of families are going to get the opportunity to find out just how beautiful it really is," Atar says.

When Valley entrepreneur Ray Thurston decided to make a $3-million gift to the Barrow Brain Tumor Research Center (BBTRC) at Barrow Neurological Institute, writing a check was only part of the equation. Just as important to the fledgling center was the business expertise that Thurston brought to the table.
As part of his gift, Thurston—founder of SonicAir, a logistics company he sold to UPS in 1995—sat down with Nader Sanai, MD, director of the BBTRC, to take a close look at the research project his donation is supporting. Thurston's goal was to help Dr. Sanai enhance efficiency, cut costs and focus the project's short- and long-term objectives. Out of these meetings came a Gantt chart that details each step in the research project and that serves as a roadmap for Dr. Sanai and as an evaluation tool for Thurston.
"This is certainly the most detailed and thoughtful planning process I have ever been a part of. It increases our chances of success exponentially," said Dr. Sanai. "Ray pored over our timeline and said, 'Let's run all these processes in parallel. Cost is not an issue.' As a result, we have compressed an ambitious project from five to three years and reduced the expense of the project, too."
In addition to improving the research process, Thurston built financial incentives into his gift agreement.
"My donation requires that Dr. Sanai achieve certain goals on a quarterly basis, and if he achieves those goals, I write a check," Thurston said. "I think that today's benefactor is more interested in outcomes. Those organizations that can provide outcomes are going to attract more investments."
Hear Thurston talk about his gift in the video below.
According to the gift agreement, Dr. Sanai can keep and redirect any money saved through the efficiency measures that Thurston recommended, giving the BBTRC additional dollars for research. "It's refreshing," said Sanai. "It motivates you to constantly reassess yourself and those on your team."
The project Thurston is funding will use spectroscopy to develop a metabolic profile of cells in brain tumor tissue. That profile will then be used to identify cancerous brain cells in patients so that the cells can be destroyed with focused radiosurgery.
Thurston said he enjoys meeting with Sanai and his research team. "It's a great joy to work with these really bright people doing something that's going to help medicine in the future."
As for Sanai, he views Thurston as much more than a benefactor.
"He's been a critical partner, really a genius innovator in terms of getting things done in the laboratory, and it has completely changed the way we approach and conduct our science."

It is now generally recognized that protein kinase signaling is involved in virtually every aspect of cell function, including growth and proliferation. The field of protein phosphorylation, including the enzymes involved in this post-translational modification, continues to advance at a fascinating pace. Since the first international meeting on this topic, held in Heidelberg in 1994, several new avenues of CK2 research have emerged despite persistent deficiencies in our understanding of the regulation of its activity. Among the significant new directions are studies related to the structure of the enzyme, especially its crystal structure, as well as an interesting aspect of CK2 function that involves its subunits as binding partners of several other proteins. In addition, new data have been gathered on the role of CK2 in transcription as well as in certain other cellular functions. To address these various aspects of the progress of CK2, a number of key scientists from different parts of the world came together at the second international meeting on `A Molecular and Cellular View of Protein Kinase CK2', held at Villard de Lans near Grenoble on September 24-26, 1997. The meeting was attended by nearly 50 participants and included 28 presentations, which provide a view of the latest progress on protein kinase CK2.Acknowledgments We are very thankful to Mrs. Lynda Munar for maintenance of cell cultures and help with baculoviruses purification and ...

Howdy everyone! Yes, I do realize that it's the middle of October already and I still haven't posted this month's Shop My Stash and September's recap. All with good reason, of course. Which will all be explained below…
First off, October was actually a tough one for me to put a basket together for. This was mostly because I have so much on the go in terms of open products that I actually really like and use on the daily. Hence why I'm not in a huge rush with September's recap as I'm still using the majority of it right now! I think this is a good thing. It only means that I'm finding things that I love and that my collection is being used and is in essence shrinking… which was the goal I had set myself when I started my Shop My Stash series in the first place!
I'm going to tell you right now – don't expect October's basket to be chock full of products. In fact, I only have six items in it. I will explain as we go along…
What is a Shop My Stash?
It's exactly what it sounds like. Every month, I will be going into my makeup collection and – you guessed it – I will shop my stash. ? Just think of it as a haul post but instead of makeup I bought at Sephora or at Shoppers Drug Mart, it's a haul straight from my own collection! And I'm hoping that by doing this monthly, I won't get bored of the products I chose like I did in last year's Project Pan.
If you're interested, you can find my other Shop My Stash posts here.
How Shop My Stash Works… and an Update!
If you have been following along, you are aware that every month, I take one or two products of a certain type (be it eyeshadow, primer or mascara) and put them in a basket. As we are into Month #10, I found a need to modify this a little bit. First off, in addition to the product categories that are still on the go, I am breaking down the list of product types into the following categories, as well:
- Success! – This category consists of the products where I no longer have many different products for. Because of that, I no longer need to use up products on a rotation schedule. There is only one or a couple left in these categories.
- Working On It! But On Hold For Now… – There were some categories where I still have to work on my stash but there are currently a number of products that I like and are open and in use. In order to give myself a chance to use the open items, I have put a freeze on these categories until it's time to use something new. I will start these up again in the near future once I finish up some of my products that are on the go.
If you haven't noticed, I did not include any lip products (lipstick, lipgloss, etc.) to my list. This is because they are already in rotation in my purse. I change them around a lot so I didn't think they needed special attention like the rest of these products!
At the end of each month I will have to make a few decisions: keep the product, continue using it (for those holy grail products I must always use) or get rid of it. I'm hoping that by doing this I can help identify my loves and get rid of what I don't want anymore. I hope that I can get my collection under control.
Don't get me wrong, though. I am not going to be limited to only using what's in my basket. If there's something I want to use then by all means, I will! The basket is just there to help give me something to focus on that month.
Then at the end of the month, I will summarize my monthly basket (what I loved, what I didn't love, etc.) and then I will pick out a new basket of products!
Shop My Stash for October 2017
Here's the skinny. The skinny basket, that is. There are only six products in this month's basket. And I want it to be clear… I have been using all of these since October 1st!
- Face primer: Wet n' Wild PhotoFocus Face Primer
- Foundation / BB Cream: Wet n' Wild PhotoFocus Foundation in Cream Beige, Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Powder in Natural Beige
- Setting Spray: Wet n' Wild PhotoFocus Setting Spray
top row: blushes in the shades rose spritz, amaretto and pamplemousse
bottom row: highlighters in champagne pop and prosecco pop
- Blush and Highlighter: BECCA Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette featuring three blushes and two highlighters
left to right: silk sheets, spoiled sexy, bold bling, haute couture, patent leather, wild nights
left to right: satin seduction, gold status, mink magnet, big spender, made of jade, dusk 'til dawn
- Eye shadow (palette or singles): Buxom Custom 6-Pan Eyeshadow Bar Palettes (that I got for, I believe $20 each when Sephora had them on sale online)
It's quite the mix of Wet n' Wild this month! And even though I am just posting this now, I have been using these since October 1st. 🙂
Well, now that I've gone through what's in my basket, I thought I would write a quick summary of the product categories which I have been successful in finally getting under control! I still have two months left in the Shop My Stash 2017 series and I was planning on doing a HUGE recap in January but things are already so different from how things were in January that I thought I'd do a quick update now.
These categories of products are pretty much under control now. If something new comes into my collection, I can easily decide what to do with it because I know what's in my collection. I can decide to try it and keep it or just sell or give it away if I don't need it. This is great progress!
As of the end of September 2017, seven out of the 17 categories have been a success! It's a great feeling! 🙂 Here they are:
- Color Corrector – I didn't have many of these in the first place so this one was a quick win!
- Concealer – I have finished going through what I have in my stash and there haven't been any new concealers introduced to it or purchased. I'm only using the ones that I love right now. 🙂
- Setting Powder – Similar to concealers, I'm only using what I love now.
- Pore Reducer – I am down to one: Benefit's The POREfessional
- Eye Primer – I only have a handlful of the ones that I love left in my collection and I plan on using them all!
- Brow Setting Gel – I'm also down to one with this one! In fact, I just finished my MAC Setting Gel and have moved on to the Pixi Beauty Brow Tamer
- Mascara Primer – Again, I'm down to one with this one. I finished my tarte Opening Act deluxe sample and I'm using my deluxe sample of Dior's Diorshow Maximizer primer which has always been my favourite of all time in this category.
Working On It! But On Hold For Now…
There were some categories where I know I still have some work to do to trim down my stash but I have a number of open products that I like and really want to use. In order to give myself a chance to use these items, I have essentially put the following categories on hold. I will start these up again when I'm ready.
- Eyeliner
- Brow
- Mascara
- Bronzer – This is an odd one – the only reason this one is "on hold" is because my skin is still a couple of shades darker from the summer. I still have no need for bronzer right now.
And that's it for October! Apologies again for getting this up late. I really was trying to figure things out for awhile there. But I did figure it out and I know what I'm doing with this initiative again.
Hope you're still enjoying this series! Let me know about your thoughts and suggestions in the comments below. 🙂

Disney throws $763m at social gaming
Getting animated about Facebook
Disney has thrown over three quarters of a billion dollars to bring it up to Goliath status in the online gaming world, acquiring two and a half year old Playdom, which offers games for social networks – the new buzzword in gaming that has all the VCs on the planet hopping onto investments.
Playdom offers Social City, Sorority Life, Market Street and Bola, and reckons that it has 42 million active players each month. It's a lot, but is it worth the $563.2m it is paying up front, as well as the $200m it may pay on top of that if things keeping growing as they are?
At Playdom's last round of financing the company was done at a value of at $345m, less than half the figure Disney is paying, despite the fact that the company has only raised $76m to get where it is today.
Investors in Disney may see this as "desperate" and there is an element of that about it. Disney is determined to be big in the games business, but Interactive Media is its smallest segment by a long way. It appears to be hoping that it can give its own long lived Disney characters, and perhaps those it bought with the Marvel Entertainment deal it did last September for $4bn, and have Playdom drop them in game form onto social networking sites.
The Marvel deal was mostly about making money from films and from consumer products – DVDs and the like, but it can exploit characters like X-Men, Spiderman and Iron Man in other ways too, except where deals have already been done with other studios.
Show me the money
What IS desperate about this deal is that it is the largest amount paid so far for a social gaming company – a specialist at putting games on social networks for playing habitually online. The largest of these is Zynga which cut a strategic deal with Facebook as recently as May, to use Facebook Credits in Zynga games such as Farmville, Café World, Treasure Isle and Mafia Wars and this week cut a deal in Japan to work with Softbank there.
Back in November Electronic Arts took the plunge in spending $300m acquiring Playfish, which promotes online games where players can make money by selling virtual goods. Playfish shareholders still stands to earn an additional $100m if it performs well.
Playdom has been trying to fight toe to toe with Playfish and after that deal perhaps felt the need of a bigger parent. Disney for its part lost $295m last year on revenues for Interactive Media of $712m and is clearly in it for the long haul. Last quarter Disney lost $55m on $155m of Interactive Media revenues and needs all the help it can get.
Almost simultaneously US video game retail giant GameStop said it would buy social gaming website Kongregate for an undisclosed sum and would diversify the business into digital game distribution. GameStop operates 6,486 retail stores in 17 countries, and said of the deal that "Kongregate advances GameStop's digital strategy by providing a gaming platform for casual, mobile and browser games that can be promoted and played by our existing gamers."
By comparison Kongregate serves only 10 million players a month who spend on average 23 million hours on the site. That may be only a quarter of the users of Playdom, but that seems to us like a very high engagement figure of over two hours each. Kongregate's business model is to share ad revenue with games developers. Playdom goes about its business mostly by acquiring games, buying Hive, Metaplace, Acclaim, Merscom, Three Melons, a piece of MetroGames and Offbeat Creations, Trippert Labs and Green Patch, all acquired in the last 8 months.
But somehow there is something incongruous between the Facebook generation and the older Disney characters, and we hope the management has the sense to keep them apart, and only seed Playdom with the brands it WANTS to promote, rather than those thrust on it by Disney.
"We see strong growth potential in bringing together Playdom's talented team and capabilities with our great creative properties, people and world-renowned brands like Disney, ABC, ESPN and Marvel." said Robert Iger, President and CEO, The Walt Disney Company.
"This acquisition furthers our strategy of allocating capital to high- growth businesses that can benefit from our many characters, stories and brands, delivering them in a creatively compelling way to a new generation of fans on the platforms they prefer," Iger added.
Playdom now has 15 game development studios, and will remain headquartered in Mountain View, California with its existing CEO becoming an Executive Vice President of Disney Interactive Media.

The insurance industry can be confusing for couples who have children that need different levels of protection in the event of a parent's death.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 19, 2014
The need to purchase different plans for life insurance is one that many families share in the U.S. The Cherry News company has adjusted its location tool online to produce family life insurance plans for married couples at http://cherrynews.com/life-insurance.
This updated research system is able to present 2014 rates for married couples seeking insurer rates.

This national locator tool is designed to present an entire list of companies offering different rates for insurance plans. The plans that are now available for quotation include guaranteed, term and whole policies. These represent some of the most commonly requested plans in North America.
"The insurance industry can be confusing for couples who have children that need different levels of protection in the event of a parent's death," said one source at the CherryNews.com company.
The insurer information that is now presented from national companies through the Cherry News website is now one complimentary source online to find rates information. The programmed system relies on a digitized rates delivery system that produces the most updated premiums for researchers.
"The life insurance that is quoted online is underwritten in the U.S. to ease the research that adults conduct when searching different providers," the source included.
The CherryNews.com company website is expected to present additional research abilities for adults in North America researching various products insurers are offering. The life insurance database is expected to include auto, Medicare and business insurance premiums before the close of 2014.
The media syndication of content that is published through the company resource is helping to introduce the new services that are now available nationwide. The automated insurance tools are expected to increase daily visits to the company website.

Québec and Confederation
Québec became one of the founding members of the Dominion of Canada on 1 July 1867 when it joined New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario in Confederation.
Québec became one of the founding members of the Dominion of Canada on 1 July 1867 when it joined New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario in Confederation.
Province of Canada
Québec's entry into Confederation is deeply tied to that of Ontario's. Together, the two were united into the Province of Canada in 1840, in response to the rebellions in Lower and Upper Canada, and the Durham Report of 1839.
The Act of Union established a single colony made up of Canada East (Québec) and Canada West (Ontario) governed by a single legislature. The British government, and English-speaking elites in both Canada East and West, hoped that the large French Canadian community would be submerged, and assimilated, within a single colony.
However, the common political system and the tensions it created between the French and English communities — along with a collection of sharply divided political parties in each region — created years of political deadlock that made the united colony difficult to govern. By the 1860s, leaders in both regions were pressing for change.
Case for Confederation
By 1858, George-Étienne Cartier, co-prime minister of the Province of Canada (along with Canada West's John A. Macdonald), favoured splitting up the two Canadas into separate provinces, and joining each one in a federal union with the other British North American colonies (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador). Cartier and pro-Confederation forces in Canada East focused on four arguments:
- Political deadlock had made the Province of Canada almost impossible to govern. Proponents believed Confederation would allow a new federal government to make national decisions, while letting individual provinces find local solutions. As a self-governing province, Québec could safeguard French Canadian interests.
- Confederation would strengthen the wider economy.
- Britain had supported the losing South in the American Civil War, and some Canadians feared the victorious North would attack Canada in revenge. They believed creating a new country would blunt the desire for revenge.
- A federal government would be able to build a transcontinental railroad that would boost the economy and tie the colonies together.
Additionally, Canada's Reciprocity Agreement with the United States expired in 1866, meaning Québec would soon lose access to that market. Supporters of Confederation argued that a merger with the other British North America colonies would provide better access to their markets.
Cartier and another Conservative, Alexander Tilloch Galt, agreed that Canada's government would study the idea of a federal union of British North America. In 1864, Cartier represented Canada East at the Charlottetown Conference, where Confederation was agreed to. He also attended the Québec Conference, where the details of the new country were ironed out.
Confederation Foes
Jean-Baptiste-Éric Dorion led French Canadian resistance to Confederation. He founded the newspaper L'Avenir, and used it as a pulpit from which to attack Confederation.
"I oppose Confederation because I foresee innumerable difficulties with the joint powers given to the local and general governments in several areas. These conflicts will always be resolved in favour of the general government and to the detriment of the often legitimate claims of the provinces," he wrote.
Antoine-Aimé Dorion, the Liberal leader in Canada East, opposed Confederation on the grounds that including the Maritime colonies would increase the financial burden on the Province of Canada, and that it could jeopardize the independence of each province. He wanted citizens with the franchise to vote on the issue.
Pro-Confederation forces led by Cartier, Galt and Hector-Louis Langevin won the support of the Catholic Church, and some of the public, by arguing that Confederation (and the division of the two Canadas into separate provinces) would give French Canadians back their provincial identity and a provincial capital.
Dominion of Canada Emerges
The British Parliament passed the British North America Act in March 1867. Canada East left the Province of Canada and joined the Dominion of Canada on 1 July 1867. The change drew little public reaction inside Québec, and newspapers merely reported on the few events organized to mark the day.
Québec's "Fathers of Confederation" are the men who attended one or more of the conferences at Charlottetown, Québec City and London. The list includes Sir George-Étienne Cartier, Jean-Charles Chapais, Sir Alexander Tilloch Galt, Sir Hector-Louis Langevin, Thomas D'Arcy McGee and Sir Étienne-Paschal Taché.

Sadhya(Redirected from Sadya)
This article possibly contains original research. (February 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Sadhya (Malayalam: സദ്യ) is a feast consisting of a variety of traditional vegetarian dishes usually served on a banana leaf in Kerala, India.[1] Sadhya means banquet in Malayalam. It is a vegetarian feast prepared by both, men and women, especially when needed in large quantities, for weddings and other special events.
|Alternative names
|Place of origin
|Region or state
|Cookbook: Sadhya Media: Sadhya
During a traditional Sadhya celebration people are seated cross-legged on mats. Food is eaten with the right hand, without cutlery. The fingers are cupped to form a ladle. A normal Sadhya can have about 24–28 dishes served as a single course. In cases where it is a much larger one it can have over 64 or more items in a Sadhya like the Sadhya for Aranmula Boatrace (Valla Sadhya). It is eaten in certain ritual style and environment preceded and succeeded by vanchippatu (traditiona boat race songs). In this sadhya the guests can also ask for some surprise items that the host should be prepared for. It has to be prepared by approved chefs to be eligible as a valla sadhya, where physical and spiritual purity is important.
The main dish is plain boiled rice, served along with other dishes collectively called Kootan (കൂട്ടാന്) which include curries like parippu, sambar, rasam, pulisseri and others like kaalan, avial, thoran, olan, pachadi, kichadi, koottukari, erissery, mango pickle, pulinji, naranga achaar (lime pickle), as well as papadam, plantain chips, sharkara upperi, banana, plain curd and buttermilk. The traditional dessert called Payasam served at the end of the meal is of many kinds and usually three or more are served. Some of the varieties are Paal Ada, Ada Pradhaman, Paripu pradhaman, chakkapradhaman, etc. The 'Kootan' are made with different vegetables and have different flavours; some say the reason for including so many dishes in the Sadhya is to ensure that the diners will like at least a few dishes.
The dishes are served on specific places on the banana leaf in specific order. For example, the pickles are served on the top left corner and the banana on the bottom left corner, which helps the waiters to easily identify and decide on offering additional servings. The most common ingredients in all the dishes are rice, vegetables, coconut and coconut oil as they are abundant in Kerala. Coconut milk is used in some dishes and coconut oil is used for frying and also as an ingredient in others.
There are variations in the menu depending on the place and religion. Some communities, especially those in the northern part of Kerala, include non-vegetarian dishes in the sadhya. Although custom was to use traditional and seasonal vegetables indigenous to Kerala or South West Coast of India, it has become common practice to include vegetables such as carrots, pineapples, beans in the dishes. Tradition has it that Onion and garlic are not typically used in the sadhya. Conventionally, the meal may be followed by vettila murukkan, chewing of betel leaf with lime and arecanut. This helps digestion of the meal and also cleanses the palate.
The sadhya is usually served for lunch, although a lighter version is served for dinner too. Preparations begin the night before, and the dishes are prepared before ten o' clock in the morning on the day of the celebration. On many occasions, sadhya is served on tables, as people no longer find it convenient to sit on the floor. Sourcing of items/ingredients for Sadhya is an elaborate and careful process to ensure quality. The lighting of the fire to prepare the sadhya is done after a prayer to Agni and the first serving is offered on a banana leaf in front of a lighte d nilavilallku as an offering to god.
Traditionally, the people of the neighborhood spent the night helping the cooks in cooking. They also volunteer to serve the food for the hosts to the guests. This involves a fair amount of social interaction which help build rapport with the neighbors.
Sadhya is served in Pankthi (Sanskrit) - panti in Malayalam - meaning in lines or rounds where sets of people are served in sitting lines, on the floor earlier, now on benches and desks. There can be many Pankti's depending upon total size of the crowd and the capacity of the place. The hosts normally sits only during the last pankti. The host will eat at the last and will go around every pankti/panti to greet the guests and to ensure that they are satisfied.
In a Sadhya, the meals are served on a Banana leaf. The leaf is folded and closed once the meal is finished. Closing the leaf away from you signifies complete satisfaction with the food and closing it towards you would mean a signal to the cooks that it needs improvement. The guests as a sign of satisfaction fold the leaf towards them, except under rare situations it will be folded over to the opposite side to indicate that it was not up to the mark.
The Central Travancore-style sadhya is renowned to be the most disciplined and tradition-bound.[2] There is usually an order followed in serving the dishes, starting from the chips and pickles first. However, different styles and approaches to making and serving the dishes are adopted in various parts of Kerala depending on local preferences.
The usual items in a SadhyaEdit
- Rice: It is the main item in a sadhya. It is always the Kerala red rice (semi-polished parboiled brown[2][4]) which is used for the Sadhya. The rice is also called 'Kerala Matta'.
- Parippu : A thick curry lentil dish eaten with rice, papadum and ghee.
- Sambar : A thick gravy made of lentils, tamarind, vegetables like drumsticks, tomato, etc., and flavored with asafoetida.
- Rasam : A watery dish made of tamarind, tomatoes, and spices like black pepper, asafoetida, coriander, chili pepper, etc. It is very spicy in taste and aids in digestion. However, in some regions Rasam is not counted as part of Sadhya.
- Avial : Thick mixture of various vegetables, and coconut. It is seasoned with coconut oil and curry leaves.
- Kaalan : Made of yogurt, coconut, and any one vegetable like "nendran" plantain or a tuber-like yam. It is very thick and more sour, and typically can last for a longer period owing to the lower water content.[3]
- Olan : A light dish, prepared of white gourd or black peas, coconut milk, and ginger seasoned with coconut oil.[2]
- Koottukari: Vegetables like banana or yam cooked with chickpeas, coconut and black pepper.
- Erissery: A thick curry made from pumpkin, black-eyed peas and coconut.

June 11, 2009 – To say that The Sounds have come a long way in since 2003 isn't a reference to the band's Swedish origins – it's a statement of their musical growth and ever growing popularity. The Sounds are currently supporting their incredibly danceable new album Crossing The Rubicon and have traded their usual club billings for arena crowds numbering in the tens of thousands. Catch them on tour with No Doubt through August, 2009.
The Sounds are one of my favorite bands to shoot. Even though I've photographed them five or so times now, I still know I'm going to get an exciting set of images regardless of the lighting conditions or the size of the venue.
The band went on close to dusk and I came prepared for a dimly lit set that was a difficult mix of ambient sunlight and weak stage lights. Though this was partly the case, I was surprised by the generally good amount of light throughout the first three songs.
The band was lit by warm white spots and a mixture of colored side-lighting that varied from red to purple.
My exposure was comfortable on the Nikon D3 running from 1/300 at f/4 and ISO 2000 to 1/200 at f/3.5 and ISO 3200. With the exception of the portrait shot of guitarist Felix Rodriguez, all of the photos from this set were made with the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8.

Attendee Procedure for Handling Harassment
This procedure has been adopted from the PYCON's process guide titled "Attendee Procedure For Handling Harassment".
Keep in mind that all conference staff will be wearing a green Sapling Events t-shirt (or otherwise clearly marked as staff). The staff will also be prepared to handle the incident. All of our staff are informed of the code of conduct policy and guide for handling harassment at the conference. There will be a mandatory staff meeting onsite at the conference when this will be reiterated as well.
Report the harassment incident (preferably in writing) to a conference staff member – all reports are confidential.
When reporting the event to staff, try to gather as much information as available, but do not interview people about the incident – Staff will assist you in writing the report/collecting information.
The important information consists of:
Identifying information (name/badge number) of the participant doing the harassing
The behavior that was in violation
The approximate time of the behavior (if different than the time the report was made)
The circumstances surrounding the incident
Other people involved in the incident
The staff is well informed on how to deal with the incident and how to further proceed with the situation.
If everyone is presently physically safe, involve law enforcement or security only at a victim's request. If you do feel your safety in jeopardy please do not hesitate to contact local law enforcement by dialing 911. If you do not have a cell phone, you can use any venue/hotel phone or simply ask a staff member.
If at all possible, all reports should be made directly to Jenifer (Jen) Remsik (Event Coordinator) or Jim Remsik (Conference Chair).

iPhone Charger Warning!!!
Mum releases Pictures after averting a House Fire :
And this kids is why us parents tell you not to leave your phone/iPod charging underneath your pillow. Chloe ,Eve and Fergie you are al very lucky girls that this didn't end up serious or worse end up killing yourselves and the rest of your family in your stupidity.
I have told you time and time again never to have your phone/iPod left charging under your pillow as the heat from the charge can't escape. Now look what's happened and you showed no remorse or emotion this morning at the consequences of what could have happened.
Well as of today I no longer trust you as a 16 year old girl but will treat you as a 5 year old child. All electrical items have been removed from your bedroom and you wish to use your hair dryer or straighteners or curlers you ask permission and return after use.
Your bedroom is no longer your doss hole it's a place to sleep and get changed. You will sit downstairs with the rest of your family and interact with us.
Just count your blessings that we are still alive for me to do this to you and punish you for your irresponsible behavior. Things could have been a whole lot different come this morning!!!

Good candidates
Patients who are aphakic and no longer tolerate contact lenses are good candidates, as are other patients who are at risk of lens dislocation. Dr. Garg has found the technique effective in patients who do not have normal capsules. "It's really meant for when there is a lack of bag or sulcus fixation," he added.
But scleral tunnel fixation isn't perfect. "It's not without its complications long term," said Dr. Garg. The procedure is technically challenging, requires special instrumentation, and will not work in every eye.
A current or future bleb, previous surgery, a thin sclera, or insufficient vitrectomy can pose significant problems.
"Any procedure where you have disrupted the anterior hyaloid face, you have to be careful to do as complete a vitrectomy as possible," Dr. Garg said. "You don't want traction on the vitreous to cause cystoids macular edema and risk of infection."
He also advised caution in conjunctivas with extensive scarring. "If the conjunctiva is scarred down, this procedure becomes more difficult because the conjunctiva has to be lifted up," said Dr. Garg. "If someone has really scarred down, that's where an alternative may be the better choice."
Other relative contraindications include corneal decompensation or atrophic scleromalacia. "Make sure the sclera is healthy and you have enough to tunnel the haptic in," Dr. Garg advised. "We are limited by the length of the haptics, so you have to make sure it's not a huge eye."
Agarwal study
Dr. Agarwal and colleagues followed 208 eyes in 185 patients for 17 months and recorded a low incidence of complications. Early on, 6% had corneal edema, 2% had epithelial defects, and 2.5% had grade 2 anterior chamber reactions. Later, 0.4% had hyphema, 0.4% of haptics broke, and 1% of haptics were deformed.
Another 4.3% had optic capture, 3.3% IOL decentration, 2% haptic extrusion, 1.4% subconjunctival haptics, 2% macular edema, and 2% pigment dispersion. Re-operation was required in 7.7% of patients.
Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/40 or better in 40% of this group and 20/60 or better in 49%.
In a second cohort of 60 eyes with a follow-up of 5 years, Dr. Agarwal and colleagues reported that 35% had optic tilt of roughly 3º between the IOL and the iris. The mean residual cylinder was 0.5 D (±0.5 D). There was no correlation with BCVA.
"We don't have really long-term data on the technique," said Dr. Garg. "You can get migration of the haptics out of the tunnel, which on occasion has to be retunneled, or a patch graft has to be placed to make sure it doesn't extrude through the conjunctiva. But by and large, it's a really stable method of fixation."
He described a recent case of an IOL that stayed intact even though the penetrating keratoplasty wound dehisced after a patient bumped his eye against the ledge of a table. "The scleral fixation of the haptics actually prevented dislocation of the IOL," said Dr. Garg.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup butter and allow to melt while you begin to prepare the batter. Reserve the melted butter for later use, carefully wipe out the pan and place in the oven to heat.
In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In another bowl, combine the milk, buttermilk, egg and melted butter. Make a well in the dry ingredients and gradually incorporate the wet mixture, stirring until the lumps are dissolved. Fold in the cheese, corn and poblanos.
To bake the cornbread, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter so it sizzles. Coat the pan with the butter and quickly pour the cornbread batter into the skillet. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.

Leo Cordery held a bicycle safety clinic in Deerfield Beach this week and nobody came.
Maybe they figured the odds are against them.
Florida leads the nation in fatal bicycle accidents. In Broward County, about a dozen cyclists are killed each year, the most recent victim a 17-year-old who died one week ago in Fort Lauderdale.
So the county`s Highway Safety Office, in cooperation with bicycle stores and the Broward chapter of the National Safety Council, is running safety clinics this week and next in observance of bicycle safety month. Cordery`s was Wednesday night.
``People down here don`t know the rules of the road -- cyclists and motorists both,`` said Cordery, who moved from Boston in 1979 and owns the Bicycle Generation in Deerfield Beach.
But attendance at the safety clinics has been poor, and planners are considering other long-term solutions to the problem.
In 1984, there were 11 deaths in bicycle accidents in Broward. In 1983, there were 12 deaths, 946 nonfatal injuries and 64 accidents resulting in property damage. County residents own an estimated 500,000 bicycles.
Nationwide, there are about 1,000 deaths in bicycle accidents a year. In 1984, there were 111 fatal bicycle accidents in Florida, where the rate of cyclists killed has consistently been two and three times the national average.
The grim statistics ``puzzled us for a while,`` Suber said. ``For a long time, the laws have not been enforced. Florida`s roads do not have paved shoulders. (The state) has a large number of tourists, and the accident rate goes up during the tourist season`` with the influx of motorists unfamiliar with the roads.
Since last June, bicycles have been defined by law enforcement agencies as vehicles subject to the same rules of the road as trucks and cars. Bicycles are not restricted to bike paths and have full use of left-turn lanes.
