Interwoven Stories: A Community Stitching Project
created by Diana Weymar, Spring 2016 Artist-in-Residence
Interwoven Stories is a community-based narrative stitching project that began in March 2016 with the opening of Every Fiber of Being in the ACP's Taplin Gallery. The project was created and facilitated by Diana Weymar, the Arts Council's 2016 Artist-in-Residence, and has enjoyed the amazing support of the entire Arts Council staff, the Princeton Public Library, community groups, volunteer stitchers, and over two hundred participants!
It is the nature of socially engaged art to present a project to a community while not knowing how it will be received or executed. It is an open question. The response to this project has exceeded our wildest expectations. Beyond the addition of a final show of all the fabric pages and a catalog book, each page is a gift to the community. They speak to the generosity, diversity, spirit, commitment and creativity of this community.
View the Interwoven Stories exhibition, on view from 10/29 through 11/30, and let the pages speak for themselves. They are, quite simply, works of art that speak to the soul.
Diana Weymar has participated in community building textile projects in Victoria B.C., Maine, and Cyprus, Greece. She is preparing for a project in Zurich 2016 with Build Peace. She has shown her textile and sculptural work in galleries in British Columbia.
Your absence has gone through me
Like a thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.

Wow … I never thought a Christian religious site could ever be as interesting as a Buddhist or Hindu temple … goes to show that the world has surprises waiting for those eager enough to explore it!
Rila Monastery, Symbol of Bulgarian National Identity
During my visit to Sofia I heard repeatedly that the nearby UNESCO World Heritage Site of Rila Monastery was a must see. Based upon this endorsement my expectations were high, but my first view of the monastery's tall stone walls left me uninspired; it appeared to be nothing more than a simple stone fortress tucked into a pretty mountain glade. Disappointed, I walked through a long tunnel to a vaulted entrance and stopped in my tracks, stunned by the unexpected beauty of the interior courtyard that spread before me.
Three stories of arches stacked on stone columns decorated the facade of monastic apartments that formed the roughly pentagonal enclosure. In the center of the yard stood the Nativity of the Virgin Church, where exquisite frescoes in the cloistered entrance peeked through black and white arches, above which red and white striped brick walls supported five burnished gold and olive cupolas topped by filigree crosses. The crenelated stone Hrelyu Tower, constructed in 1334-1335 and the oldest building at the site, rose majestically behind the church.
Ironically, this stunning monastery evolved as a result of the ascetic Ivan of Rilski (Saint John of Mila), a simple shepherd born in 876, who became a monk and retired to a cave near the present day site, intending to lead a isolated life devoted to prayer, meditation, and fasting. His plans were foiled, however, when word of his ability to perform miracles became public knowledge. Pilgrims began arriving, seeking to be blessed or cured of their infirmities. Buildings sprung up near the hermit's cave, forming the nucleus of a community that eventually evolved into an Eastern Orthodox monastery.
The original buildings were completely destroyed by fire in the 13th century, but in 1355 a powerful local prince, Stefan Hrelyu, ordered the construction of the tower that now bears his name and is the oldest structure on the site. By the time the relics of Saint Ivan were installed at the monastery in 1469, it had become a symbol of national pride and a repository for Bulgarian literature and art, a passion that was heightened during the Ottoman Turkish domination of Bulgaria and the Soviet years.
With the exception of Hrelyu Tower and a small chapel that stands next to it, the current buildings date back to the mid-19th century, as the complex was destroyed by fire once again in 1833. Perhaps the most important of these latter-day buildings is the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin, the walls and ceilings of which are covered with vibrant frescoes painted by the top Bulgarian artists of the day.
Even more famous than the frescoes is the iconostasis, a partition separating the sanctuary from the main part of the church, which took a group of woodcarvers three years to complete. The gold-plated iconostasis gleams softly, reflecting light from a crystal chandelier that hangs from the center of the dimly lit nave, as worshipers stream in and out, reverently kissing the icons of saints embedded in the screen.
I couldn't help wonder what Ivan the hermit, who sought only to live a life of seclusion and prayer, would have thought about the complex, which ironically attracts an estimated 900,000 visitors each year.
How to visit Rila Monastery:
Located about 73 miles south of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, the site is easily accessible via well-maintained roads. A day tour is also offered by Rila Monastery Bus, which combines visit to Rila with a stop at Boyana Church in Sofia, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. However, these day trips allow an hour to 1.5 hours at the monastery, which is barely sufficient to see the main site, much less allow time hike to St. Ivan's original cave or visit his crypt and the on-site museum. For those who wish to stay longer, take a 25-minute ride on the N5 tram from behind the Palace of Justice in Sofia to the west bus station (Ovcha Kupel). At the west bus station, take the bus to Rila Monastery, which leaves once per day at 10:20 a.m. arriving around 1:00 p.m. The return bus to Sofia departs at 3:00 p.m. and arrives back in the city around 5:30 p.m.. The round-trip ticket costs 22 BGN ($15-16 USD) and is purchased on board from the driver. It is also possible to stay overnight and catch the public bus back the next day, as inns are located within easy walking distance and it is also possible to sleep in the monastery for about $20 per night.

Hi, Barbara!
I have just discovered this amazing site and I absolutely love it! I am from Sofia and after traveliing throughout Africa and Europe, I finally returned to Sofia where I currently live. I have always loved Sofia and Bulgaria and all the amazing places we have. I am particularly fond of the Rila Monastery and other Monasteries in the country. I believe we have a beautiful nature, mountains, sea, a romantic countryside and some truly magical places. I enjoyed your story and will now go on browsing through the other places I hope to visit some day like Bali…. Good luck in your future travels! It's an amazing experience to travel the world- enjoy! And thank you for sharing your stories.
I've heard of and read about the Rila Monastery before and your article and photos only entice me to visit more. Since I am often in Ukraine, Bulgaria is not that far away. We'll have to make it a destination.
I thought Riga Monastery to be a beautiful sight as well Barbara. I would add for people who plan on going to eat at the restaurant beside the monastery and order their trout. It's fresh from the stream you have to walk over. Delicious!
Argh! Jet lag! That's Rila not Riga!
Oh my goodness, the art and the arches are beautiful right along with the landscape to help it even more. Thanks for sharing! Will have to visit!
I will have to visit this monastery when we visit Bulgaria. Thanks for the suggestion to stay at the budget inn as it makes sense to spend the night rather than rushing a visit there.
What magnificent building. Shudder at what we are building today. Are those people actually swimming on Dec. 27th? Wow!
Beautiful monastary – I can see that you'd certainly need more than an hour or two here to do it justice
Hi, Barbara!
Great to see an article about this monastery. I haven't visited it since 2008 and I really miss it! I have been thinking the same thing as you – how St. Ivan would have perceived nowadays' boom of tourists, with many of them having this place in their mind as a mere tourist destination, even though they are of the same Orthodox Christian faith. It's an irony, really. 🙂 And yet I suppose it's just the different eras. People back then informed themselves about life and the world around them from priests, sought help from monks like St. Ivan..there weren't nowadays' distractions like TV, internet.. I rather think that by evaluating the contemporary factors, St. Ivan would have been quite satisfied to know the place where he decided to find a recluse in is loved so much and visited by us, Bulgarians, as well as many people from abroad, despite all distractions of modern life. If this is the modern way to keep the faith, why not..? 🙂

Hotel Minho by Vírgula i from Vírgula i on Vimeo.
Description by Vírgula i:
Hotel Minho renewal and extension is part of a wider process of hotel redesign where architecture is the central part of the new hotel visual identity. Based on the architecture project, a new hotel was created, not only through the building, but also on how it communicates its various physical and digital media: in site, in the interior and product design, in the web, in its graphic identity or in its corporate image.
In all these fields of design the new hotel claims its contemporaneity, the quality of its materials, services and spaces. The architecture emerges as the anchor element of the Hotel Minho re-branding, making the previous name fall – Hotel Turismo do Minho – introducing new areas, the new spa, the new business floor, the new and renewed social areas, stating clearly in its architecture, interior and communication design, as well as the spaces created for the new hotel program. The architectural project was not limited to the coordination of various traditional expertise – the engineering or the interior design – but it was also the coordinator of the teams who have handled with the new identity, linking all the parts of the strategy, in a strong proximity with the client.
The spatial solution created by the architecture project intended a strong integration between the existing building and the new extension, but decreasing to the highest level the visual impact of the new constructions. The project is assumed as strongly introverted, not wanting to show itself to the outside, but instead to private exterior courtyards, full of natural light and with a strong relationship with the surroundings.

Judge In Hernandez Case Approves Gag Order
A judge says she found no ethical violations by prosecutors in the Aaron Hernandez murder case after his lawyers accused the state of allowing leaks and prejudicial out-of-court statements.
But Judge Susan Garsh ruled to impose a formal gag order to protect the ex-New England Patriot's right to a fair trial. His attorneys had sought one.
They claimed the prosecution orchestrated a "publicity stunt" last year when Miami Dolphin Michael Pouncey was served with a subpoena related to the case after a game at Gillette Stadium. Prosecutors denied that and say they've leaked nothing.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to the murder of semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd.
Garsh's order, entered Thursday, demands both sides take "reasonable precautions" against prejudicial disclosures and says prosecutors must investigate any reports of leaks.

Foodiescapadee: Wadihana Islamic Kitchen & Steakhouse@Busana Mall12:00 PM
I decided to try their Mocktail: Sweet Honey.
Sufficed to say that I won't be ordering it again as it is too sweet for me. But it had my favourite Honey Dew. Maybe if I ask them not to put the sweet syrup...
I had a tough time looking at the menu: Rice, Noodles, Western, Pasta or Steak...
Decided on this Alfredo.
Taste was so-so and the portion just right to make me full.
Verdict: 7/10
The restaurant has a nice ambiance and the service is prompt as well. Choice of food is interesting as this is my first visit to any of its outlet. Maybe I will try out the other food. Prices are a bit expensive.

When it was announced that Danny Boyle's 127 Hours would hit theaters on November 5th, I remarked that it was a bit odd for a movie with awards potential to skip the festival circuit. But today, THR reports that the director's follow-up to Slumdog Millionaire might make its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, which runs from September 9 – 19th. Possible awards-contenders already announced for the festival include Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan, Mark Romanek's Never Let Me Go, and Ben Affleck's The Town.
For those unfamiliar with 127 Hours, the film stars James Franco as Aaron Ralston, the real-life mountain climber who had to cut off his own arm when it became trapped under a boulder. The film has two cinematographers and reportedly very little dialogue. It sounds awesome.

2011 is coming to a close, my dears, and with the ringing in of the new year comes the opportunity to say sayonara to some of the most WTF-worthy trends of the last 12 months. I have a few on my list I can't wait to be rid of...how about you?
First up on my list is feathers, specifically in earring or hair extension form. Frankly, I just don't get it (and, um, I think it's safe to say that once Steven Tyler has rocked a primarily-female trend, it's jumped the shark). Celebs attempted to pull this look off in every possible way, from one long earring to a head full of rooster feathers, and in my opinion, they all looked like turkeys. Fashion fail.
I've also had more than I can tolerate of the furry animal hats we've seen on Snooki, Khloe Kardashian, and Jessie J, just to name a few. No matter who you are, this trend feels juvenile, unflattering, and downright silly. "You know what would look great with this outfit? My son's favorite stuffed animal...on my head." Um, what? Let's hope this look goes the way of Hammer pants in 2012!
And now, my dears, I want to hear from all of you! Which of 2011's most offensive trends are you excited to say goodbye to? Did any fashion fad particularly get under your skin this year? I cant wait to hear your answers...share!

What happens when you put five aspiring performers in a Los Angeles house with cameras running 24 hours a day for all the world to see? American Idol creator Simon Fuller decided to find out by creating If I Can Dream. The online series captures the lives of five twenty-somethings as they struggle to find a gig in Hollywood. While it's great to finally find a job, it also means they're out of the house and a new person, who can audition via MySpace, will fill their vacancy.
Stars in waiting: Celebs clamoring to replace Cowell, Idol creator says
Amanda Phillips, 23, and Ben Elliot, 22, two of the five inaugural housemates, talked to TVGuide.com about living their lives on camera, the pitfalls of fame and healthy competition.
TVGuide.com: Why did you decide to move to Hollywood?
Elliot: I want to be an actor. It's my dream. Hollywood is the place to be for that. I was living in New York City and I got the audition. I was going to move here sooner or later, but this was the perfect time to do it.
Phillips: I come from a small town, but I'm a city girl at heart, so I couldn't wait to come out here. I tried to make it in New York City and got caught up in some not-so-legit agencies and I was crushed. When Simon called me, I was like, "I'm in!"
TVGuide.com: Do you feel pressure having millions of people watching your every move?
Elliot: I feel some pressure. It's exciting. I'm just grateful for this opportunity. We're going to be able to meet the right people in the industry. I'm pretty scared of failing. It's a tough town and there's a lot of competition.
Phillips: Nobody has seen the inside look of what it takes to make it in Hollywood, so I figured they can watch me go through my ups and downs. I'm an open person, so they can learn from me, all the good and bad things that I do.
Who should replace Simon on American Idol?
TVGuide.com: Do you feel in-house competition between you five because you're all trying to do similar things?
Elliot: I feel like everybody is going to be a good support group. At the same time, there will be competition. If I'm not getting callbacks, I'm going to try a little harder and be jealous. We're not going to be fighting or anything.
Phillips: I don't feel any competition. We're all going to be supportive of each other. At the end of the day, we'll all come home and instead of drama it will be healthy competition. We're all here for each other.
TVGuide.com: What's your dream role?
Elliot: Playing the lead role in a movie like Blow, maybe a gangster movie.
Phillips: Anything to do with Will Ferrell because I love him. Maybe a good sitcom, a nice steady job.
TVGuide.com Are you guys afraid to be typecast as, say, the hot blond and the heartthrob?
Elliot: Just for people to typecast me would be hilarious. I don't care. I'm sure people will typecast me as Kelso [Ashton Kutcher] from That '70s Show.
Phillips: Not at all. If that's a role I can do, that doesn't really matter to me. If that's going to put my foot in the door, might as well do it.

When 7th Heaven alum Jessica Biel transformed herself into a blood-soaked killer in Season 1 of USA's The Sinner, we had to sit up and take notice. It was a dramatic shift and a triumphant one as Biel dug deep to produce a powerhouse performance. And now, USA is back with a second season of the series, with new players taking the lead.
The crime is still murder, but this time, more disturbingly, committed by a 13-year-old boy – Julian (Elisha Henig). The two victims are his adult caretakers. The method is poisoning, with Julian offering up two deadly cups of coffee. But the big question is why? What would drive a wide-eyed child, with his future in the front-view mirror, to kill?
Heather (Natalie Paul) has just made detective and catches the harrowing case. She calls in reinforcements, asking Detective Harry Ambrose (Bill Pullman), who is an old friend of her dad's (Tracey Letts), to help her unravel the mystery. Pullman returns for a second go around, having been charged with solving the Cora Tannetti murder case in the show's first season.
Harry is still the broken man we left him, reeling from a failed marriage and finding solace on the edge of a bar stool. Flashbacks to past trauma begin to give us a window into understanding him.
But it might be his own dark past that allows him to connect with the killers he investigates, including Julian whom he begins to probe about what happened in that motel room.
Henig as young Julian arrests with his big, brown eyes, the fear and terror piercing though making it hard to look away. He makes for a compelling central figure that will propel the show.
Showing up at the very end of the first episode is another figure that the series will turn on – an out-of-towner claiming to be Julian's mother, Vera, played by Carrie Coon. We are only given breadcrumbs over the episode in flashbacks, into the dynamic between the two, with Vera chastising Julian for something he has done. She is the leader on a rustic compound which we will find out more about as the season unfolds.
Coon is a powerful addition to the show, with her stellar, emotional work on The Leftovers and Fargo preceding her.
The Sinner's second installment sets up to be even more complex and compelling than its predecessor, with a first-rate cast of characters to pull us into the mystery.

Industrial Rehabilitation Medicine, P.A.
This complaint presents the unfortunate story of an office romance between a physician and his office manager. What one witness described as a "torrid affair" ultimately degenerated into an ugly conclusion that resulted in the complainant losing her job.
Gail Sanborn (now Donovan) was hired as a secretary by Industrial Rehabilitation Associates (IRM) of Gilford, N.H. on July 29, 1985. The owner of IRM and a companion Massachusetts corporation is Dr. Marcos U. Ramos. At the time of her hire, Ms. Sanborn was married and the mother of three children. Six weeks later. Dr. Ramos, the father of three children, entered into his second marriage. Dr. Ramos terminated Ms. Sanborn's employment on July 8, 1993.
Ms. Sanborn alleges that Dr. Ramos engaged in two forms of sexual harassment against her: quid pro quo and hostile work environment. RSA 354-A:7, V, states as follows:
"Harassment on the basis of sex constitutes unlawful sex discrimination. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, non-verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when:
(a) Submission to such conduct is made either implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment ;
(b) Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual; or
(c) Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment."
Among the multitude of disputed facts in this case is the genesis of the personal relationship between Ms. Sanborn and Dr. Ramos. Ms. Sanborn describes declining initial advances before engaging in sexual activity in January or February, 1986. Dr. Ramos dates their first act of intimacy as November 21, 1985 during a medical conference in Lebanon, N.H. Ms. Sanborn denies that a sexual encounter took place on that date, but in subsequent years, both parties treated that date as their anniversary, marking the occasion by the exchange of cards and gifts.
What ensued was an intense seven-year relationship with both physical and emotional dimensions. On many occasions, each expressed undying and everlasting love for the other, as the numerous notes and letters admitted as exhibits attest. They worked together, they traveled together, and at times, they lived together as husband and wife. Although the affair was kept secret from their respective spouses at the beginning, by 1989, both Mrs. Ramos and Mr. Sanborn knew of their relationship.
Although the depth of feeling was intense, the relationship was not always smooth. Each party contemplated terminating the relationship at one time or another. In 1991, while vacationing in Venezuela with his wife and some medical colleagues. Dr. Ramos was stricken with heart problems. Upon his return to Boston for treatment, he was very distressed that Ms. Sanborn did not cancel a family vacation to be by his side. He was depressed and in "tough shape" emotionally. He told Ms. Sanborn, "we don't have a relationship if you can't be here for me." Ms. Sanborn responded in a letter dated September 24, 1991 by writing, "My biggest fear these last months, is that you were going to leave me. My heart begged you, to let me be the only one you needed." The parties subsequently reconciled.
In order to prevail on the hostile work environment claim, the complainant must show that she was subjected to unwelcome, offensive conduct or behavior which was sufficiently severe or pervasive to create an abusive work environment. Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson, 477 U.S. 57, 106 S. Ct. 2399, 91 L. Ed. 2d 49 (1986).
One of complainant's allegations to support a finding of hostile work environment is that another secretary, Nicole Moyer was subjected to sexual advances. Ms. Moyer testified that she called in sick on a day when she was not and that upon her return to the office; Dr. Ramos offered to examine her "inflamed throat". Ms. Moyer alleges that he exposed her breasts by opening her shirt and feeling around the tops of her breasts. The Commission ascribes little credibility to her testimony because of her admission that she lied about the reason for her absence and continued to expound on her lie regarding her absence to her employer (i.e. sore throat). Even if she were believed, there was no consequence or retaliation as the result of her rebuffing his advance, nor was it repeated.
Ms. Sanborn alleges several acts of violence toward her by Dr. Ramos but was unable to produce any corroboration. Complainant testified that she injured her hand in June of 1993 during a struggle with respondent at his house. She stated that he took her car keys and her clothes to prevent her from leaving.
Complainant called Arthur Minery, formerly employed as a physical therapy aide by respondent, to verify her injury. Mr. Minery did not initially recall treating her but later remembered putting a cold pack and an Ace bandage on her inflamed wrist. He did not know the cause of the injury.
The complainant also testified that Dr. Ramos slapped her across the mouth causing cuts and bleeding during a trip to Canada. She stated that the slap occurred because she had smiled at a hotel doorman and the respondent interpreted the smile as flirting. She further testified that a co-worker, Claudia Wright, who, with her husband, accompanied them on the trip, asked the complainant what had happened. The complainant testified that she told Ms. Wright that Dr. Ramos had slapped her because he thought she was flirting.
Claudia Wright was subpoenaed by the respondent. When asked whether she observed any injuries to complainant's face, she said no. She further testified that she did not recall the complainant saying that she had been slapped.
The parties vigorously dispute which one wanted to terminate the relationship in July of 1993. On the facts presented, one could reasonably find that Ms. Sanborn wanted to end it because of her new relationship with the man who would become her husband. One could also find that Dr. Ramos was motivated to end it because of his sense of having been betrayed and deceived. In this particular case, the initiator of the break-up is less important than the impact of the break-up. Ms. Sanborn wanted to continue to hold her job as office manager but Dr. Ramos concluded that the parties could not maintain a professional working relationship given the unfriendly demise of their personal relationship.
It is important to distinguish this case from the situation where a subordinate employee is required to provide sexual favors as a condition of employment, and when the sexual favors end so does the employment. Here the relationship was consensual as Ms. Sanborn concedes in her original sworn complaint. The multitude of cards and letters she sent to Dr. Ramos leads one to the inescapable conclusion that she was either deeply in love with him or repeatedly misrepresented her feelings. The Commission believes the former.
That this was no mere sexual affair is clear from Dr. Ramos' testimony that Ms. Sanborn was the "love of his life" and his intent that this was to be a long term relationship is bolstered by his marriage proposal, his establishment of a fund to educate Ms. Sanborn's daughter and his bequest to Ms. Sanborn in his will of 30% of his accounts receivable, estimated to be $200,000. His family was well aware of their relationship because they visited his family in Puerto Rico and his family visited them in N.H.
That Ms. Sanborn wanted to keep her job in the face of the emotional break-up is understandable. Her salary of $40,000 and benefits including a car and company credit card would be difficult to replace and she was responsible for the support of her family. Although the current office manager is paid far less, by all accounts Ms. Sanborn performed her job very well.
This case is not about sexual harassment but how to handle the break-up of an intense personal relationship between two people who worked together. This is not a case of discrimination based on gender, of an employer who sought out a subordinate to use as a sexual mistress but of a deep personal relationship which ended painfully. Under these circumstances, the law does not require a continuation of the employment relationship. Huebschen v. Dept. of Health and Social Services, 716 F.2d 1167 (1983); Keppler v. Hinsdale T.P. High School Dist., 715 F. Supp. 862 (N.D. III. 1989).
Accordingly, the Commission rules that the facts of this case do not support a finding that sexual harassment occurred.

Two new Lokotrack mobile screens have been unveiled by Metso Minerals during a major product launch in Spain. Called the Lokotrack ST358 and ST458, they are two-and-three decked mobile units that are suitable for screening applications, where high-capacity, accuracy and mobility are required. Both models benefit from Metso's SmartScreen technology.
The Lokotrack ST358 (two deck) and ST458 (three deck) are equipped with large 5.4x1.5 m screens. The screen area per deck is 7.9 m2 (85 ft2) and the end-to-end crowning of the two-bearing screen boxes enables a high performance screening result. This is further enhanced by the screens' ability to use both forward and reverse movements.
Both new units feature SmartScreen technology; a system that utilises the computing power of Metso's IC300 intelligent controlling system. SmartScreen senses the load on the main conveyor and monitors screen functions; automatically adjusting key parameters such as feeding and screening speeds when necessary. This ability to control in real-time the screens' functions results in continuous, high quality, high capacity screening.
One-touch operation
For the operator, the Lokotrack ST358 and ST458 are both convenient and easy to use. The whole screening process can be started by pressing just one button. And if a problem exists, the IC300 intelligent controlling system has an easy-to-understand diagnostic feature that leads the operator easily to the source of the malfunction.
If needed, the ST358 and ST458 can both be connected to Metso's Lokotrack LT Series of mobile crushing plants via an interlocking cable. This further demonstrates the level of automation of the crushing and screening process that is possible using Metso systems.
The new models are mounted on heavy duty tracks that, in conjunction with their substantial weight, help ensure both good on-site mobility and stable operation, even in difficult site conditions. Conveyor capacity has been increased over previous models, and the width of the discharge conveyors is now 1.200 mm. The side conveyors are also increased, up to 800 mm for improved capacity. The conveyors integrated nature also enables fast setup.
The ST358's and ST458´s 4.5 m wide feed hoppers have a capacity of 7.5 m3 and are easy to detach due to their cassette-style structure. With a hopper loading height of 3.3 m, the machine's power pack is a robust, liquid-cooled 110 kW Deutz diesel engine.
Both new mobile screens are easy to transport on a normal trailer without traffic restrictions. (Transport dimensions are 3.3 m (height), 3 m (width) and 17.9 m (length.) Options include radio controlled operation, maintenance platforms, chute liners and a dust-absorbing system.
The ST358 and ST458 were recently launched in front of an audience of over 700 international visitors in a working quarry in Spain. Featuring customers, dealers and journalists, the abilities of Metso's Lokotrack range of mobile screens and mobile crushing plants were demonstrated working in different real-world applications.

The books of nature and scripture.
For a Lord's-day morning
Behold, the lofty sky
Declares its Maker God,
And all his starry works on high
Proclaim his power abroad.
The darkness and the light
Still keep their course the same;
While night to day, and day to night,
Divinely teach his name.
In every diff'rent land
Their general voice is known;
They show the wonders of his hand,
And orders of his throne.
Ye British lands, rejoice,
Here he reveals his word;
We are not left to nature's voice,
To bid us know the Lord.
His statutes and commands
Are set before our eyes;
He puts his gospel in our hands,
Where our salvation lies.
His laws are just and pure,
His truth without deceit,
His promises for ever sure,
And his rewards are great.
[Not honey to the taste
Affords so much delight,
Nor gold that has the furnace passed
So much allures the sight.
While of thy works I sing,
Thy glory to proclaim,
Accept the praise, my God, my King
In my Redeemer's name.]

It's a cliche to say that a thriller gets under your skin, but that turn of phrase is wholly appropriate when discussing Replace. Norbert Keil's film (co-written with Hardware's Richard Stanley) is about a beautiful young woman named Kira, played by Rebecca Forsythe. She has intermittent episodes of amnesia, as well as an unexplained disorder that causes her skin to rot. Kira visits Dr. Crober (Barbara Crampton), a skin-care specialist who vows to get to the bottom of things.
Unfortunately, Kira's problem gets worse, not better. It starts at her hands before spreading to her face, back, and chest. She accidentally discovers that placing skin from another body over her affected areas can help them heal. The manner in which she obtains healthy skin and the revelation about what has caused her ailment are truly the stuff of horror.
Replace is a story about the perils of vanity. Kira is so obsessed with her beauty that she starts to take unconscionable steps toward maintaining it. The rotting skin bothers her not because it's indicative of a health issue, but because she dislikes the way it makes her look. This is a rare horror movie in which the protagonist is also, in many respects, her own villain. Her behavior in the face of this condition, and not the condition itself, is the thing that could ultimately bring about her doom.
Keil uses sleek, atmospheric visuals and some intentionally jumbled flashbacks (i.e. Kira's vague memories) to create the eerie mood in which the story unfolds. The dreamlike vibe makes Replace just a tad confusing in spots, although if you stick with it, everything makes sense in the end.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the movie is that it doesn't travel a predictable route. Scenes of the character peeling off her own skin, or the skin of others, definitely have a strong visceral effect, just as you would expect in horror fare. The second half, however, goes into some surprisingly emotional territory, as Kira's love for her neighbor Sophia (Lucie Aron) grows, and as she uncovers some startling secrets about her life. Replace definitely provides chills, yet it's the way the story explores the internal damage Kira suffers from that really makes it resonate.
Rebecca Forsythe is outstanding, as is Barbara Crampton, who continues a recent hot streak of innovative genre films that also includes Abner Pastoll's Road Games, Ted Geoghegan's We Are Still Here, and Jackson Stewart's Beyond the Gates. To say much about Dr. Crober here would be a spoiler, so let's just say that Crampton brings the exact right touch to a character who is, for her own reasons, just as obsessed with beauty as Kira.
Replace is stylish and substantive, making you shudder on a regular basis while also offering an insightful statement about how being too consumed with one's own appearance can be a big step on the road to hell.

Define the region of the body called the neck.
The neck (L. collum, cervix) joins the head to the trunk and limbs and serves as a major conduit for structures passing between them. In addition, several important organs with unique functions are located here: the larynx, thyroid, and parathyroid glands, for example.
Define the skeleton of the neck.
The skeleton of the neck is formed by the cervical vertebrae (C1-C7), hyoid bone (referred to as the hyoid in common usage), manubrium of the sternum, and clavicles (Fig. 8.1A). The mobile hyoid lies in the anterior part of the neck at the level of the C3 vertebra in the angle between the mandible and thyroid cartilage. The hyoid does not articulate with any other bone and functionally serves as an attachment for anterior neck muscles and a prop to keep the airway open (Fig. 8.1B, C).
Describe the subcutaneous tissue of the neck (superficial cervical fascia) and list its general
The subcutaneous tissue of the neck (superficial cervical fascia) is usually a thin layer of connective tissue that lies between the dermis of the skin and the investing layer of deep cervical fascia (Fig. 8.2B, C). It contains:
1.Cutaneous nerves
2.Blood and lymphatic vessels
3.Superficial lymph nodes
4.Variable amounts of fat
5. Anterolaterally, it contains the platysma.
Describe the three layers of deep cervical fascia.
The deep cervical fascia consists of three fascial layers (Fig. 8.2):
These layers support the viscera (e.g., the thyroid gland), muscles, vessels, and deep lymph nodes. These fascial layers provide the slipperiness that allows structures in the neck to move and pass over one another without difficulty (e.g., when swallowing and turning the head and neck). These fascial layers form natural cleavage planes, allowing separation of tissues during surgery.
Describe the investing layer of deep cervical fascia and its attachments. Describe the
relationship of the investing layer of deep cervical fascia to the sternocleidomastoid and
trapezius muscles. What is the clinical significance of the investing fascia with regard to spread of infection in the neck?
The investing layer of the deep cervical fascia, the most superficial deep fascial layer, surrounds the entire neck deep to the skin and subcutaneous tissue (Fig. 8.2). At the "four corners" of the neck, the investing layer splits into superficial and deep layers of fascia to enclose (invest) the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) and trapezius muscles.
Inferiorly, the investing layer of fascia attaches to the manubrium of the sternum, clavicles, acromions, and spines of the scapulae. The investing layer is continuous posteriorly with the periosteum covering the C7 spinous process and the nuchal ligament (L. ligamentum nuchae) (Fig. 8.2B). Just superior to the manubrium, the fascia remains divided into the two layers that enclose the SCM; one layer attaches to the anterior and the other to the posterior surface of the manubrium.
The investing layer of deep cervical fascia helps prevent the spread of abscesses. If an infection occurs between the investing layer of deep cervical fascia and the muscular part of the pretracheal fascia surrounding the infrahyoid muscles, the infection usually does not spread beyond the superior edge of the manubrium. If, however, the infection occurs between the investing fascia and the visceral part of the pretracheal fascia, it can spread into the thoracic cavity anterior to the pericardium.
What is the suprasternal space?
A suprasternal space lies between these layers and encloses the inferior ends of the anterior jugular veins, the jugular venous arch, fat, and a few deep lymph nodes (Fig. 8.2A).
Describe the limits of the pretracheal layer of deep cervical fascia and its muscular and
visceral parts.
the thin pretracheal layer of deep cervical fascia is limited to the anterior part of the neck (Fig. 8.2). It extends inferiorly from the hyoid into the thorax, where it blends with the fibrous pericardium covering the heart. The pretracheal layer includes a thin muscular part, which encloses the infrahyoid muscles, and a visceral part, which encloses the thyroid gland, trachea, and esophagus and is continuous posterosuperiorly with the buccopharyngeal fascia. The pretracheal layer blends laterally with the carotid sheaths.
What is buccopharyngeal fascia?
Buccopharyngeal fascia marks the posterior end of the pretracheal layer of deep cervical fascia.
Define the carotid sheath and its extent and
The carotid sheath is a tubular fascial investment that extends from the cranial base to the root of the neck. This sheath blends anteriorly with the investing and pretracheal layers of fascia and posteriorly with the prevertebral layer of deep cervical fascia. The carotid sheath contains (Fig. 8.2B, C):
1.The common and internal carotid arteries.
2.The internal jugular vein (IJV).
3.The vagus nerve (CN X).
4.Some deep cervical lymph nodes.
5.The carotid sinus nerve.
6.Sympathetic nerve fibers (carotid periarterial plexuses).
The carotid sheath communicates with the mediastinum of the thorax inferiorly and the cranial cavity superiorly. These communications represent potential pathways for the spread of infection and extravasated blood.
Describe the limits and contents of the prevertebral layer of deep cervical fascia.
Prevertebral-the prevertebral layer of deep cervical fascia forms a tubular sheath for the vertebral column and the muscles associated with it, such as the longus colli and longus capitis anteriorly, the scalenes laterally, and the deep cervical muscles posteriorly (Fig. 8.2). This layer of fascia is fixed to the cranial base superiorly and inferiorly and fuses with the anterior longitudinal ligament centrally at approximately T3 vertebra. The prevertebral layer extends laterally as the axillary sheath (see Chapter 6), which surrounds the axillary vessels and brachial plexus.
Describe the retropharyngeal space and its clinical significance.
The retropharyngeal space is the largest and most clinically important interfascial space in the neck because it is the major pathway for the spread of infection (Fig. 8.2A). It is a potential space that consists of loose connective tissue between the visceral part of the prevertebral layer of deep cervical fascia and the buccopharyngeal fascia. Inferiorly, the buccopharyngeal fascia is continuous with the pretracheal layer of deep cervical fascia. The alar fascia crosses the retropharyngeal space. This thin layer is attached along the midline of the buccopharyngeal fascia from the cranium to the level of the C7 vertebra and extends laterally to blend with the carotid sheath. The retropharyngeal space is closed superiorly by the base of the cranium and on each side by the carotid sheath. This space permits movement of the pharynx, esophagus, larynx, and trachea relative to the vertebral column during swallowing.
Pus from an abscess posterior to the prevertebral layer of deep cervical fascia may extend laterally in the neck and form a swelling posterior to the SCM. The pus may perforate the prevertebral layer of deep cervical fascia and enter the retropharyngeal space, producing a bulge in the pharynx (retropharyngeal abscess). This swelling may cause difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia) and speaking (dysarthria). Similarly, air from a ruptured trachea, bronchus, or esophagus (pneumomediastinum) can pass superiorly in the neck.
What is alar fascia?
The alar fascia crosses the retropharyngeal space. This thin layer is attached along the midline of the buccopharyngeal fascia from the cranium to the level of the C7 vertebra and extends laterally to blend with the carotid sheath.
How is the neck divided into four regions?
To allow clear communications regarding the location of structures, injuries, or pathologies, the neck is divided into regions (Fig. 8.3). The four major regions are the (1) sternocleidomastoid region, (2) posterior cervical region, (3) lateral cervical region, and (4) anterior cervical region.
Describe the sternocleidomastoid region of the neck. Describe the action and innervation
of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
The sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) visibly divides each side of the neck into anterior and lateral cervical triangles. The region between these triangular regions, corresponding to the area of this broad, strap-like muscle, is the sternocleidomastoid region. The SCM has two heads: the rounded tendon of the sternal head attaches to the manubrium, and the thick fleshy clavicular head attaches to the superior surface of the medial third of the clavicle. The two heads are separated inferiorly by a space, the lesser supraclavicular fossa. The heads join superiorly as they pass obliquely upward to attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone and the superior nuchal line of the occipital bone.
The sternocleidomastoid muscle has motor innervation supplied by Spinal accessroy Nerve (CN XI).
The sternocleidomastoid muscle has pain and proprioception innervation supplied by C2 and C3.
What is torticollis? What causes torticollis?
Torticollis is a contraction of the cervical muscles that produces twisting of the neck and slanting of the head (Fig. B8.1). The most common type of congenital torticollis (wry neck) results from a fibrous tissue tumor (L. fibromatosis colli) that develops in the SCM before or shortly after birth. Occasionally, the SCM is injured when an infant's head is pulled excessively during a difficult birth, tearing its fibers (muscular torticollis). This tearing may result in a hematoma that may develop into a fibrous mass entrapping a branch of the spinal accessory nerve (CN XI), thus denervating part of the SCM. Surgical release of a partially fibrotic SCM from its distal attachments to the manubrium and clavicle may be necessary to enable the child to tilt and rotate the head normally.
Cervical dystonia (abnormal tonicity of the cervical muscles), commonly known as spasmodic torticollis, usually begins in adulthood. It may involve any bilateral combination of lateral neck muscles, especially the SCM and trapezius.
Describe the posterior cervical region. What is the relationship of the suboccipital region
to the posterior cervical region?
The region posterior to the anterior border of the trapezius is the posterior cervical region (Fig. 8.3). The suboccipital region is deep to the superior part of this region.
Describe the borders of the posterior triangle of the neck.
The lateral cervical region (posterior triangle of the neck) is bounded (Fig. 8.3 and Table 8.1):
-Anteriorly by the posterior border of the SCM.
-Posteriorly by the anterior border of the trapezius.
-Inferiorly by the middle third of the clavicle between the trapezius and the SCM.
-By an apex, where the SCM and trapezius meet on the superior nuchal line of the occipital bone.
-By a roof, formed by the investing layer of deep cervical fascia.
-By a floor, formed by muscles covered by the prevertebral layer of deep cervical fascia.
The lateral cervical region wraps around the lateral surface of the neck like a spiral and is covered by skin and subcutaneous tissue containing the platysma.
How is the posterior triangle of
the neck subdivided into the occipital triangle and the omoclavicular (= subclavian) triangle?
For more precise localization of structures, the lateral cervical region is divided into a larger occipital triangle superiorly and a small omoclavicular triangle inferiorly by the inferior belly of the omohyoid (Fig. 8.3).
Describe the arteries of the posterior triangle of the neck.
The arteries in the lateral cervical region are:
1.Cervicodorsal trunk (transverse cervical artery) 2.Suprascapular artery
3.Third part of the subclavian artery, and
4. Part of the occipital artery
The cervicodorsal trunk originates from the thyrocervical trunk, a branch of the subclavian artery, and divides into the superficial cervical and dorsal scapular arteries. The cervicodorsal trunk runs superficially and laterally across the phrenic nerve and anterior scalene muscle, 2 to 3 cm superior to the clavicle. It then crosses (passes through) the trunks of the brachial plexus, supplying branches to their vasa nervorum (blood vessels of nerves) and passing deep to the trapezius.
The superficial cervical artery accompanies CN XI along the anterior (deep) surface of the trapezius. The dorsal scapular artery runs anterior to the rhomboid muscles, accompanying the dorsal scapular nerve. The dorsal scapular artery may arise independently, directly from the subclavian artery.
The suprascapular artery, from the cervicodorsal trunk, a branch of the thyrocervical trunk, or from the subclavian artery, passes inferolaterally across the anterior scalene muscle and phrenic nerve. It crosses the subclavian artery (third part) and the cords of the brachial plexus. It then passes posterior to the clavicle to supply muscles on the posterior aspect of the scapula. The suprascapular artery may arise directly from the subclavian artery.
The occipital artery, a branch of the external carotid artery (Fig. 8.5A), crosses the lateral cervical region at its apex and ascends to supply the posterior half of the scalp.
The third part of the subclavian artery supplies blood to the upper limb. It begins approximately a finger's breadth superior to the clavicle, opposite the lateral border of the anterior scalene muscle. It lies posterosuperior to the subclavian vein in the inferior part of the lateral cervical region (Fig. 8.4E). The pulsations of the artery can be felt
on deep pressure in the omoclavicular triangle just superior to the clavicle (Fig. 8.3). The artery is in contact with the first rib as it passes posterior to the anterior scalene muscle; consequently, compression of the artery against this rib can control bleeding in the upper limb.
Describe the veins of the posterior triangle of the neck
The veins in the posterior triangle of the neck are:
1.Cervicodorsal Vein
2.Suprascapular Vein
3.Anterior Jugular Vein
4.Internal Jugular Vein
5.External Jugular Vein
6.Subclavian Vein
The external jugular vein begins near the angle of the mandible (just inferior to the auricle of the external ear) by the union of the posterior division of the retromandibular vein with the posterior auricular vein (Fig. 8.4A). The EJV crosses the SCM obliquely, deep to the platysma, and then pierces the investing layer of deep cervical fascia, which forms the roof of this region, at the posterior border of the SCM. The EJV descends to the inferior part of the lateral cervical region and terminates in the subclavian vein.
The major venous channel draining the upper limb, the subclavian vein, courses through the inferior part of the lateral cervical region, passing anterior to the anterior scalene muscle and phrenic nerve (Fig. 8.4E). The subclavian vein joins the IJV to form the brachiocephalic vein posterior to the medial end of the clavicle (Fig. 8.4A, E). Just superior to the clavicle, the EJV receives the cervicodorsal (transverse cervical), suprascapular, and anterior jugular veins.
Describe the nerves of the posterior triangle of the neck.
The nerves of the posterior triangle of the neck are:
1.Spinal Accessory Nerve (CN XI)
2.Roots of the Brachial Plexus (Anterior Rami C5-C8 and T1)
3.Suprascapular Nerve
4.Braches of the Cervical Plexus (C1-C4), deep and superficial
5.Cutaneous Branches of the Cervical Plexus
A.Lesser Occipital Nerve
B.Great Auricular Nerve
C.Transverse Cervical Nerve
6.Supraclavicular Nerve
7.Phrenic Nerve
8.Accessory Phrenic Nerve
Describe the course of the spinal
accessory nerve in the posterior triangle.
The spinal accessory nerve passes deep to the SCM, supplying it before entering the lateral cervical region at or inferior to the junction of the superior and middle thirds of the posterior border of the SCM (Fig. 8.4B). It passes posteroinferiorly, within or deep to the investing layer of deep cervical fascia, running on the levator scapulae from which it is separated by the prevertebral layer of fascia. CN XI then disappears deep to the anterior border of the trapezius at the junction of its superior two thirds with its inferior one third.
What parts of the brachial plexus are present in the
posterior triangle?
The roots of brachial plexus (anterior rami of C5-C8 and T1) appear between the anterior and the middle scalene muscles (Fig. 8.4). Five rami unite to form the three trunks (superior, middle, and inferior) of the brachial plexus (Fig. 8.4E), which descend inferolaterally through the lateral cervical region. The plexus then passes between the first rib, clavicle, and superior border of the scapula (the cervicoaxillary canal) to enter the axilla, providing innervation for most of the upper limb.
Describe the cervical plexus of nerves.
The anterior rami of C1-C4 make up the roots of the cervical plexus, which consists of nerve loops. The plexus lies anteromedial to the levator scapulae and middle scalene muscle and deep to the SCM. The superficial branches of the plexus that initially pass posteriorly are cutaneous branches (Fig. 8.4B, C). The deep branches passing anteromedially are motor branches, including the roots of the phrenic nerve and the ansa cervicalis (Fig. 8.5B).
What are the cutaneous branches of
the cervical plexus?
Cutaneous branches of the cervical plexus, often called the nerve point of the neck, emerge around the middle of the posterior border of the SCM, and supply the skin of the neck, superolateral thoracic wall, and the scalp between the auricle and the external occipital protuberance. Close to their origin, the roots of the cervical plexus receive communicating branches (L. rami communicantes), most of which descend from the superior cervical ganglion in the superior part of the neck.
What is the ansa cervicalis?
The ansa cervicalis (or ansa hypoglossi in older literature) is a loop of nerves that are part of the cervical plexus. It lies superficial to the internal jugular vein in the carotid sheath.
Branches from the ansa cervicalis innervate three of the four infrahyoid muscles, including the sternohyoid muscle, the sternothyroid muscle, and the omohyoid muscle.
Define the boundaries of the anterior triangle of the neck.
The anterior cervical region (anterior triangle of the neck) has a/an (Fig. 8.3B):
-Anterior boundary: formed by the median line of the neck.
-Posterior boundary: formed by the anterior border of the SCM.
-Superior boundary: formed by the inferior border of the mandible.
-Apex: located at the jugular notch in the manubrium of the sternum.
-Roof: formed by subcutaneous tissue containing the platysma.
-Floor: formed by the pharynx, larynx, and thyroid gland.
What are the four triangles into
which the anterior triangle of the neck can be subdivided?
The anterior cervical region is subdivided into four smaller triangles:
1.The unpaired submental triangle
three small paired triangles by the digastric and omohyoid muscle
What are the contents of each of the triangles of the neck? See ECA, Fig. 8.3, p. 597.
What are the boundaries of the submental triangle?
The submental triangle is inferior to the chin. The apex of the triangle is at the mandibular symphysis, the site of union of the halves of the mandible during infancy, and the base of the triangle is formed by the hyoid. Laterally, it is bounded by the right and left anterior bellies of the digastric muscles. The floor of the submental triangle is formed by the two mylohyoid muscles, which meet in a median fibrous raphe (Fig. 8.5D). This triangle contains several small submental lymph nodes and small veins that unite to form the anterior jugular vein (Fig. 8.5A).
What are the boundaries of the submandibular triangle?
The submandibular triangle is a glandular area between the inferior border of the mandible and the anterior and posterior bellies of the digastric muscle. The floor of the submandibular triangle is formed by the mylohyoid and hyoglossus muscles, and the middle pharyngeal constrictor.
What are the boundaries of the carotid triangle?
The carotid triangle is a vascular area bounded by the superior belly of the omohyoid, the posterior belly of the digastric, and the anterior border of the SCM (Fig. 8.5A and B). The common carotid artery ascends into the carotid triangle (Fig. 8.5B and C). Its pulse can be auscultated or palpated by compressing it lightly against the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae.
List the Suprahyoid muscles.
The suprahyoid muscles are superior to the hyoid bone and connect it to the cranium. The suprahyoid muscle group includes:
4.digastric muscles.
As a group, these muscles constitute the substance of the floor of the mouth, supporting the hyoid in providing a base from which the tongue functions and in elevating the hyoid and larynx in relation to swallowing and tone production.
List the Infahyoid muscles.
The Infahyoid muscles are inferior to the hyoid bone. These four muscles anchor the hyoid, sternum, clavicle, and scapula and depress the hyoid and larynx during swallowing and speaking (Table 8.2). These muscles are:
Explain how the infrahyoid muscles can be
divided into a superficial plane of muscles and a deep plane.
The infrahyoid group of muscles are arranged in two planes: a superficial plane made up of the sternohyoid and omohyoid, and a deep plane composed of the sternothyroid and thyrohyoid.
Superficial Plane
Deep Plane
Which of the infrahyoid muscles
limits the superior expansion of an enlarged thyroid gland?
The sternothyroid covers the lateral lobe of the thyroid gland, attaching to the oblique line of the lamina of the thyroid cartilage immediately superior to the gland. This muscle limits superior expansion of an enlarged thyroid gland.
What feature of the thyroid cartilage serves as a landmark for the bifurcation of the common
carotid artery into its terminal branches?
At the level of the superior border of the thyroid cartilage (C4 vertebral level), the common carotid artery divides into the internal and external carotid arteries.
What is the carotid sinus? What is its function?
Innervated principally by the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) through the carotid sinus nerve, as well as the vagus nerve, the carotid sinus is a baroreceptor (pressoreceptor) that reacts to changes in arterial blood pressure..
What is the carotid body? What is its function?
The carotid body, an ovoid mass of tissue, lies on the medial (deep) side of the bifurcation of the common carotid artery in close relation to the carotid sinus (Fig. 8.6C). Supplied mainly by the carotid sinus nerve (CN IX) and by CN X, the carotid body is a chemoreceptor that monitors the level of oxygen in the blood. It is stimulated by low levels of oxygen and initiates a reflex that increases the rate and depth of respiration, cardiac rate, and blood pressure.
List the branches of the external carotid artery.
The branches of the external cartoid artery are:
1.Ascending pharnygeal artery
2.Occipital Artery
3.Posterior Auricular Artery
4.Superior Thyroid Artery
5.Lingual Artery
6.Facial Artery
"Sometimes A Little Fat Or Picante Makes Super Tacos."
Name the terminal branches of the external carotid artery.
Each external carotid artery runs posterosuperiorly to the region between the neck of the mandible and the lobule of the auricle, where it is embedded in the parotid gland. Here it divides into two terminal branches: the maxillary and superficial temporal arteries.
What is the direct continuation of the sigmoid sinus?
Most veins in the anterior cervical region are tributaries of the IJV, usually the largest vein in the neck (Fig. 8.6B, D). The IJV drains blood from the brain, anterior face, cervical viscera, and deep muscles of the neck. The IJV commences at the jugular foramen in the posterior cranial fossa as the direct continuation of the sigmoid sinus.
Name the tributaries of the internal
jugular vein.
The tributaries of the IJV are:
1.Inferior Petrosal Vein
2.Facial Vein
3.Lingual Vein
4.Pharyngeal Vein
5.Superior Thyroid vein
6.Middle Thyroid Vein
*7.Occipital Vein (sometimes)
Where is the superior bulb of the internal jugular vein located?
The IJV commences at the jugular foramen in the posterior cranial fossa, where its superior bulb is located.
Where is the inferior bulb of the internal jugular vein located?
Posterior to the sternal end of the clavicle, the IJV unites with the subclavian vein to form the brachiocephalic vein. The inferior end of the IJV dilates to form the inferior bulb of the IJV (Fig. 8.6D). This bulb has a bicuspid valve that permits blood to flow toward the heart while preventing backflow into the vein
Describe the termination of the internal jugular vein.
Posterior to the sternal end of the clavicle, the IJV unites with the subclavian vein to form the brachiocephalic vein.
What cutaneous nerve supplies the skin of the anterior triangle of the neck?
Transverse Cervical Nerve (C2 and C3) suuplies the skin covering the the anterior cervical region.
Describe the course of the hypoglossal nerve in the anterior triangle of the neck.
The hypoglossal nerve (CN XII), the motor nerve of the tongue, enters the submandibular triangle deep to the posterior belly of the digastric muscle to supply the muscles of the tongue (Fig. 8.5B-D). Branches of the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves are located in the submandibular and carotid triangles.
How would you instruct someone
to palpate the submandibular gland in a living individual?
The submandibular gland nearly fills the submandibular triangle. It is palpable as a soft mass inferior to the body of the mandible, especially when the tongue is pushed against the maxillary incisor teeth.
How would you instruct someone
to palpate the submandibular and submental lymph nodes in a living individual?
The submandibular lymph nodes lie superficial to the gland and, if enlarged, can be palpated by moving the fingers from the angle of the mandible along its inferior border (Fig. SA8.1E). If this is continued until the examiner's fingers meet under the chin, enlarged submental lymph nodes can be palpated in the submental triangle.
How would you instruct someone
to palpate the carotid pulse in a living individual?
The carotid pulse can be palpated by placing the index and third fingers on the thyroid cartilage and pointing them posterolaterally between the trachea and SCM. The pulse is palpable just medial to the SCM.

Business Group Announces Creation of 'Electronic University'
Washington--A group of businessmen led by the former chief executive officer of Atari Inc. last week announced the start of an "Electronic University," which they expect will enroll 1 million students in computer-based courses by the end of next year.
The businessmen, who received the endorsements of Secretary of Education Terrel H. Bell and other Reagan Administration officials at a press conference, said the program would make "private, live, personal" education programs available to anyone who owns a computer.
The new program is the first large-scale attempt to use computer networks for education, company officials and others said.
With enrollment in the program, people from preschool through old age will have access to hundreds of courses ranging from modern poetry to "assertiveness training," said Ronald F. Gordon, the former Atari executive who is now chairman of the new commercial company, TeleLearning Systems Inc.
Mr. Gordon said 170 courses are now available and more than 300 additional courses will be developed by 1984.
"That will be only a small fraction of the total number of courses,'' Mr. Gordon said.
Thomas White, the president of the new firm, said "several" colleges are conducting experiments with the program, but he declined to name them. Mr. White said some colleges probably will offer credit for courses "in the near future" for students who pass standardized examinations in the subjects.
The TeleLearning system could change current institutional practices at schools and universities over the next two decades, the company's officials and educators maintained. "A number of [colleges and universities] have indicated that they will use it," Mr. Gordon said. "Students could go to school once every two weeks for lectures, for example," and do most of their other work alone with the computer.
Kenneth E. Young, executive director of the National University Continuing Education Association, agreed at the press conference that the new system's self-paced instruction could pose a challenge to schools and colleges that focus on classroom instruction. Already, he said, 72 universities, including Pennsylvania State University, offer 12,000 correspondence courses through the mail.
Central to the program is the "modem"--a device that enables computers to send information to and receive information from other computers--developed by the company's researchers. The TeleLearning modem does not require knowledge of how computers work.
In a typical electronic course, the instructor would transmit to the student "interactive" educational programs, texts of lectures and course instructions, tests, and graphics. Students and teachers also would send and receive messages from each other daily through an "electronic mail" system. During certain hours each week, the teacher would be available for direct consultation with the student.
The cost of the modem will be $100 to $230, Mr. Gordon said, and course fees will range from $35 to $100. The cost of transmitting information through a telephone network is included in the course fee.
Computers manufactured by Apple Computer Inc., the International Business Machines Corporation, and Commodore Business Machines Inc. can be used to gain access to the programs. Modems for Atari, Timex, and Tandy computers are now being developed.
Private, Live Instructors
"How many people in this country would like to continue their education but can't because a class is inconvenient?" Mr. Gordon said. "This will provide private, live, personal instructors 24 hours a day."
According to Future Computing Inc., a Dallas-based marketing firm, there will be 7.6 million microcomputers in homes and 3.7 million microcomputers in businesses by the end of this year. The number of microcomputers in homes and offices will jump to 14.5 million and 5.9 million, respectively, by the end of 1984, the firm estimates.
About half of the system's first million students probably will be home computer-owners, Mr. White said. The other major markets, he said, are corporations that run internal training programs and technical and vocational schools.
The system's teaching staff will consist of experts on various topics who do not now teach regularly and would like to supplement their current income, the new firm's officials said. The officials did not say what criteria they would use to screen applications for the estimated 3,000 to 5,000 teaching positions that the company expects to fill during the next year.
The announcement of the program, Secretary Bell said, "couldn't have come at a more propitious time [because] I think there's an unprecedented desire in the country to strengthen our schools and universities."
Mr. Bell said that "one of the problems of education is that it's a labor-intensive industry." The electronic education program, he said, "has enormous potential to solve this."
Because few computer or reading skills are required to use the modem for the electronic university, Mr. Bell said, the system could be especially useful for offering "good basic instruction." The Secretary said the new approach could also be used for programs such as President Reagan's recent initiative to combat adult illiteracy.
Other Administration officials at the press conference included Donald J. Senese, assistant secretary for the educational research and improvement, and James K. Coyne, a special assistant to President Reagan for private-sector initiatives.
