Direct injury to the extraocular muscles following penetrating orbital trauma is often challenging for the clinicians. The decision whether to attempt primary repair or to have a staged approach is difficult to make, with each having its merits and demerits. We report here a case of direct injury to the medial rectus resulting in its complete transection. The patient was successfully managed by imaging followed by exploration and reattachment of the transected muscle in a single surgery.

| Introduction|| |
Strabismus following trauma may result in incomitant type of strabismus, which is often difficult to manage. The mechanism may involve direct injury to the muscle, nerves, entrapment of soft tissue, or a combination of these.
Direct injury to extraocular muscle has been reported rarely. Usually, this is associated with penetrating orbital trauma. The most frequently affected muscle is the medial rectus.,,, The various etiology of strabismus due to orbital trauma requires an individualized approach. Appropriate diagnosis of the type and severity of injury and differentiation of mechanical and neurological involvement is critical in planning the approach for management. Imaging is required to determine the extent of extraocular muscle or bony damage.
The authors report a case of direct injury to the medial rectus muscle and its management.
| Case Report|| |
A 9-year-old male student came to an emergency with complaints of an inability to move the right eye (RE) inward and partial drooping of the right upper lid, following injury by brake handle of bicycle 12 h back. On examination, his Snellen best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was RE 6/18, left eye (LE) 6/6. 4 mm ptosis of the right upper lid, conjunctival congestion, right exotropia of 45° and inability to adduct RE were noted. The conjunctiva and Tenon’s capsule were lacerated [Figure 1] and [Figure 2]. RE cornea had a superficial corneal abrasion. The posterior segment examination of RE and LE examination was normal. Computerized tomography (CT scan) of the right orbit showed transected right medial rectus (RMR) muscle along with orbital emphysema and fracture in the floor of orbit with no herniation of orbital contents. There was no retained foreign body, and the globe was intact [Figure 3] and [Figure 4]. The diagnosis of traumatic dehiscence of RMR was made.

Right orbital exploration and medial rectus repair under general anesthesia were planned on the same day.
On exploration, RMR was completely transected about 15 mm posterior to insertion. The rear end was lost in orbit and was recovered by careful dissection. It was pulled up and united with the anterior part using vicryl 6-0 suture. Tenon’s capsule and conjunctiva were sutured in separate layers with vicryl 8-0 suture [Figure 5], [Figure 6], [Figure 7]. No management was done for the fracture of the orbital floor. The patient was assessed on the postoperative days 1, 7, and after 1 month. The patient was orthotropic in primary position with-1 limitation of adduction at 1 month. Diplopia in extreme levoversion was not troublesome. One scale measurement revealed an asymmetry of 1 mm (RE enophthalmos). Ptosis improved after the resolution of edema, 2 mm ptosis persisted [Figure 8],[Figure 9], [Figure 10], [Figure 11]. RE BCVA was 6/6; the patient and parents were satisfied with the outcome.

| Discussion|| |
Ocular injuries often involve extraocular muscles. In such injuries, the muscle-tendon or the muscle may be torn across completely or partially. Complete disinsertion of a muscle leads to its retraction, making it difficult to retrieve the muscle. The medial rectus, unlike other recti, has no attachment to the oblique muscles. Moreover, its straighter course makes it more prone to be lost in the orbit in case it is severed.
In the present case, the RMR was completely transected and had retracted. It was identified by retroplacing and displacing the globe laterally with exploration along the medial orbital wall. It should be remembered that rotating the globe and exploring toward the posterior pole will only push the muscle more posterior and through the Tenon’s capsule., The muscle was successfully sutured with a good outcome. The enophthalmos of RE was possibly due to fat prolapse and its loss. The enopthalmos was probably responsible for ptosis. Accurate diagnosis and prompt intervention resulted in good surgical outcome.
The advantages of early intervention are greater chances of functional recovery and lesser morbidity. The disadvantage being dealing with edema due to trauma. Imaging to identify the site and severity of the injury is essential before exploration. Although magnetic resonance imaging is ideal for soft-tissue imaging, essential information is also available with CT scan using 2 mm slices. Optimal intervention generally involves targeted exploration with recovery and repair of the damaged, transected, or lost extra-ocular muscle.,, Even after satisfactory surgery, minimal limitation in motility may persist.

Since the seminal federal study “A Nation at Risk” launched the modern educational-reform movement in 1983, America’s K-12 schools have faced persistent pressure for greater accountability and improved results. The reforms have been imperfect and the outcomes uneven, but the irreversible direction has been toward stiffening both expectations and consequences for what students achieve from elementary grades through high school.
Over these stormy decades of “education wars,” the nation’s colleges and universities almost completely escaped similar scrutiny. “When it comes to higher education, we are really 25 years behind K-12 education, at least in accountability,” says Michael Dannenberg, higher-education director at the Education Trust, which advocates for low-income children.
But now, the accountability revolution that reshaped K-12 is reaching critical mass for the cap-and-gown set. From President Obama and governors such as California’s Jerry Brown to leading foundations and educators, more voices are insisting that postsecondary schools confront the intertwined problems of rising tuition, exploding student debt, and disappointing completion rates. “People are realizing, we [need] some way to get … more bang for our buck,” said Tom Kane, a Harvard professor of education and economics who advised a coalition of prominent educators and foundations that recently issued a reform blueprint called “The American Dream 2.0.” (National Journal)

Oppo Reno 8T 5G has been reportedly making the rounds at varied certification websites. A dependable tipster has now revealed an alleged design of this Oppo handset. In addition, a 4G variant is believed to be additionally within the works with a barely altered look. The Oppo Reno 8T 5G is anticipated to be powered by a Snapdragon 695 SoC, coupled with high-speed LPDDR4x RAM. Furthermore, it’s believed that Oppo would possibly rebadge the Reno 8T 5G in India because the Oppo F23 Pro.
Tipster Abhishek Yadav (Twitter: @yabhishekhd) claims in a current report that the Oppo Reno 8T 5G could get a 6.67-inch OLED show with a 120Hz refresh charge and 10-bit color depth. Under the hood, it’s more likely to carry a Snapdragon 695 SoC. It may additionally get LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage.
In phrases of cameras, this Oppo smartphone could get a triple rear digital camera setup with a 108-megapixel principal digital camera. There may additionally be twin 2-megapixel secondary sensors on the again. The Oppo Reno 8T 5G could have a 4,800mAh battery with 67W quick charging help.

You are hereThe Ligerbots and FRC
The Ligerbots and FRC
The Ligerbots compete annually in FRC, a competition run by FIRST. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is an organization that hopes to inspire schoolchildren to become engineers via three annual robotics competitions. FLL (FIRST Lego League) is targeted at elementary schools. They design and build a robot using Lego NXT parts that completes various tasks on a double 6'x10' field. FIRST always provides one cooperative challenge that both competing teams must complete for points to be earned. FRC is the most intensive of the programs. Teams must raise money, find members, create a presence in the community, and (of course) build a large robot in six weeks, using custom parts. FIRST created FTC as a more affordable version of FRC. Teams still create robots from custom parts, but the smaller scale of the robots keeps costs low.
The LigerBots are an FRC team based in Newton, Massachusetts. The team is a union of the two city high schools, Newton North and Newton South. The two are rivals in sports, but united for FIRST. Our name reflects the union of the schools: the LigerBots are the child of the Newton North Tigers and the Newton South Lions. We maintain the spirit of unity when we attend events. Our mascots have the body of one school, but the head of the other.
Our first experience as a team was in late 2008, when the team was allowed to retrofit the Nu-trons old robot for the current season. It wouldn't have been possible without the coordinated efforts of Robin Saitz (of PTC), and North and South teachers and administrators. We refitted the robot in Northeasterns shop, giving it new arms (and new life). The team went on to compete in the Beantown Blitz, an annual post-season event hosted by the NUTRONS. As we started work after the season ended, we weren't registered as a FIRST team. We competed at the Beantown Blitz as team 3125 as we were a "child" of the NUTRONS- FRC Team 125.
The next year, Robin Saitz, a parent and PTC's vice president, helped the team raise enough money to compete. We held several meetings to scour Newton North and Newton South for prospective members. By the start of the season, the LigerBots had more than 50 team members, divided between North and South. During the six weeks of build season, chaos reigned. Tools were abused, meetings ran long, designs were replaced, yet, somehow, a robot took form. We finished the robot a few minutes before it needed to ship. All of our members survived the build season of our rookie year, and our robot performed incredibly well!


Just compare the pictures from this week with one from last year’s Spring Camp to see the benefits of practicing in Florida. The 2013 camp was held in late March and several days of it had to be held inside the Gryphon Dome because of snow covering the field at Alumni Stadium. Two other days the practices were held on Varsity Field. Finally, on March 29 the new turf at Alumni was sufficiently clear of snow to hold the Spring Scrimmage. Reports on last year’s camp and scrimmage can be found here and here.
* * *
With perfect conditions for practices and meetings, and being a thousand miles from the normal distractions, I’m hearing that the coaches are very happy with what they were able to accomplish through the first five days of camp. All three groups – offense, defense & special teams – have been able to install plenty of new things from a systems standpoint. A lot was also done to sharpen skills. But it wasn’t all about football. Coach Lang repeatedly stated the what he wanted to accomplish in Florida was 50% about football and 50% about team bonding.
Special Teams Coordinator Bill Brown says … From a team bonding point of view, I have never seen a Gryphon team this close in the 20 years I have been associated with this team. The Gryphon Family is tight and the bond is only getting stronger.
Also, DB Coach Gregg Butler … my young crew worked their butts off in Orlando, Fla. … Very proud of the guys.
And while O-Line Coach Mike MacDonald was very happy with the progress of his group [details to follow] … the whole week was fantastic beyond expectations for the entire team.
* * *
They say a picture is worth a thousand words and I’ve seen dozens of pictures showing the non-football fun this team is having. A lot of those photos are available on the Facebook pages of Gryphon Recruiting, University of Guelph-Gryphon Football and Gryphon POPs Group. Gryphon players are enjoying beach volleyball, pickup basketball, mini putt golf, the hotel swimming pool and, Wednesday night, an NCAA Div 1 basketball game.
Yesterday’s practice at Apopka Fields was the final one. Today the teams splits up and players have their choice of heading to the beach or visiting Disney World/Universal Studios.
As is customary there was a team dinner scheduled at the end of camp. Should have been last night I believe. I haven’t heard any mention of a speaker but I wouldn’t put it past Stu Lang to come up with a big name. The 2010 speaker was former NFL O-Line coach Jim McNally, 2012 featured CFL legend Chuck Ealey and in 2013 TigerCats head coach Kent Austin did the honours.


The axe has long been among man’s finest tools and also a vital part of any type of outdoorsman’s survival toolkit. This amazing device has been with us for centuries and, similar to us, it has actually evolved. Today, there are several designs of axe. Whether you are slicing down trees or splitting fire wood, there is a blade particularly created for the task. Each blade has an unique style as well as special characteristics.
There are numerous elements that make one axe better than another for a particular task. With numerous various blade/ deal with combinations now offered on the marketplace, it could all get a little complicated. Let’s analyze the 5 most prominent axe designs listed here.
A splitting blade uses a heavy wedge form layout to cut logs along the grain. This axe is not likely to obtain lodged in the wood you are splitting because its hefty blade increases the striking pressure at effect. Dividing blades are normally matched with a straight manage. This enables the woodcutter to bar the trample and deepen the cut.
When breaking logs, it could end up being needed to hammer the blade with the log. The splitting blade includes the service to this issue by having a broad butt that could be made use of to aid another splitter with.
A limbing axe is developed to be wielded while depending on a tree trunk and also chopping downward at limbs from the tree. It is relatively light-weight (2lbs) as well as could be managed with one or two hands. Its medium size deal with makes this axe well suited for the descending angle.
The Hudson Bay axe isn’t really developed for cutting down trees in the forest. Its short handle (22in– 28in) and also lightweight (2lbs) makes it a perfect option for turning tool logs into kindling. The Hudson Bay axe got its name due to the fact that it was developed by French hair traders who took a trip the Hudson Bay trade paths.
Broadaxes are made use of to reduce logs into beams. Broadaxes are beveled on one side, which, combined with a lengthy beard (front reduced blade), makes them ideal for this work. They are especially made for precision and could easily cut a log into a light beam.
A felling axe blade is very slim as well as sharp. This makes it perfectly suited for reducing trees. When you cut a tree down, you are reducing against the grain. A felling axe’s tool weight (around 3 extra pounds) permits it to cut deep throughout the grain. A 36in take care of offers the felling axe great leverage. A felling axe blade is ideal for clearing limbs off downed trees.
A dual little bit axe has sides on both side of the blade. This could show valuable because it enables combination blades. As an example, one side can be a splitting blade, while the opposite side is a felling. The drawback is some loss of mobility.
blade is used to reduce timber at really exact angles and places. This axe has a flat blade that distributes your cut evenly. This assists maintain your cuts even as well as accurate. As a result of its level blade, a shaping axe is far better at sculpting than chopping.
Hatchets could be fantastic travel axes. They are normally half the size of a standard axe, which suggests they are more suitable for traveling. An excellent hatchet could quickly split logs into kindling.
There are likewise a variety of various size manages you could obtain when selecting your axe. This is called the haft size and it normally is available in these dimensions:.
- complete length: 28in– 36in.
- medium length: 18in– 26in.
- pocket size: 12in– 16in.
Transportation, as well as the amount of usage, need to be the deciding pressure behind your choice. If you are mosting likely to be backpacking in Yellow Stone National Forest, I would not suggest a complete length broadaxe. A pocket felling axe would certainly be a much better fit and also it will certainly provide you with a great deal more comfort on your trip.
The point here is– there is an axe to fit every need. Since you recognize the different sorts of axes, you could determine just what axe is the most effective solution for your woodworking requires.

Howie Long has been through the relocation process before with the Raiders.
The Raiders great and NFL Hall of Famer was drafted by the franchise in 1981, one year before they left Oakland for Los Angeles. He played with the team until 1993 — two years before they returned to Oakland.
Through all the moves, one thing has remained constant: The diehard support of Raider fans, he said. That’s part of the reason why Long sees the move to Las Vegas in 2020 as a “game changer.”
“Economically, it was impossible for the Raiders to survive financially in Oakland,” Long said. “The city and the county weren’t willing to support the team — it has to be a partnership. The move to Vegas to me, it’s a game changer.”
Long, who was in Las Vegas last week to speak at the Car Wash Show, said the Raiders struggle to sell luxury boxes at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. Each team retains money derived from suite and club seating sales at their respective stadiums.
But selling suites at the under-construction Las Vegas stadium has not been an issue, Long said.
“How many casinos are there here (in Las Vegas),” Long asked. “There’s big money, big money here. They (Raiders) are selling luxury boxes here for between $450,000 and $650,000 a year, with a 10-year commitment. And they’ll sell them all.”
Many believe the Raiders’ fan base in California will follow them to Nevada. Of the 50,000 personal seat license deposits, 29 percent came from California residents.
“It’s a unique fan base, from both Northern and Southern California, where they’ve won Super Bowls in both,” he said. “That fan base will get in their car and drive four hours from L.A., or I think it’s Allegiant Air, where you can get a flight from the Bay Area to Las Vegas for like $95. I think they’re trying to make that accessible for a lot of the fans.”
Long said the city’s support of the NHL Golden Knights in their initial season shows that Las Vegas is a sustainable major league sports market. He likened the area to Phoenix, which draws from all areas of the valley to support its teams.
“Phoenix is kind of spread out. I think Vegas is kind of like that,” he said. “You have Henderson and Summerlin and the support and success that the hockey team has had, I think when the NFL comes here the support is going to be very passionate.”
With Raider games only a small portion of what the 65,000-seat, $1.8 billion stadium will bring, Long sees a bevy a events being hosted here.
“Think about the combine here, think about the draft here, Super Bowls here,” Long said. “Think about all the events they can have at this stadium. It’s remarkable.”


Artificial intelligence is giving iGaming operators a wealth of resources to improve their marketing
The field of digital marketing is constantly evolving and changing. Techniques from a couple of years ago are now obsolete, and it is essential to find new effective tools. It is important to know the latest trends and technologies that will transform and improve digital marketing in order to exploit its full potential. This is the case with artificial intelligence (AI). This technology is expected to revolutionize the current marketing paradigm. Many operators in the iGaming industry are already innovating their digital marketing campaigns today, thanks to the application of AI.
AI is starting to become more present in the marketing world through increasingly sophisticated technologies and tools. However, the idea of dispensing with human action or supervision is still a long way off. Its intervention is still necessary and there is still a huge potential to be exploited.
AI systems, on the other hand, have an infinite capacity to process data and even carry out marketing actions. And in a more accurate, faster, and more economical way. Incorporating AI into the marketing world allows better results to be achieved more quickly, freeing up a large part of marketers’ time that they now spend on repetitive tasks with little added value. Thus, marketing teams will be able to focus on innovation and continuous improvement applied to their campaigns in different online casinos, for example.
AI already makes it possible to create interesting and 100% original content. Different tools based on this technology allow content to be generated from a series of very basic data and information. In fact, many iGaming operators already use this technology to write part of their content and attract traffic to their platforms.
Programmatic advertising is based on using AI to automate the purchase of advertising space to reach much more specific segments. Another example of this automation is real-time-bidding. This type of programmatic advertising allows you to maximize customer conversion and reduce the cost of acquisition efficiently and quickly.

J. D. (Jerome David) Salinger was born in New York City on January 1, 1919. He published his most famous work, The Catcher in the Rye, in 1951. After that, he never wrote another novel but focused his work primarily on a family that he created: the Glasses, composed of the parents, Les and Bessie, and the children, Seymour, Buddy, Boo Boo, Walter, Waker, Zooey, and Franny. As children and adolescents, all of the siblings performed on a radio talk show for children called "It's a Wise Child." But most of the stories deal with the adult lives of the children.
The stories about the Glasses were published almost exclusively in the New Yorker magazine. The Glasses, and J. D. Salinger, were extremely popular. Many people attribute this popularity to the fact that the Glass stories were all about one family. The idea of family and domesticity was often explored in 1950s literature. Some critics argue also that the general interest in fame and the effects of celebrity caused these stories to interest so many people. Or perhaps it was just Salinger's dry wit and attention to detail. Whatever the cause, these stories caused a sensation when they were published.
These texts, though so popularly successful, are sharp social criticism. Many of the things that J. D. Salinger attacks in his fiction were prominent features of postwar society. For example, the 1950s are notorious for being an age of conformity and of blind acceptance of the work of intellectuals. Salinger's Glass family stories, as well as his other works, specifically mock these two trends. Furthermore, in that period, an age of the Cold War with the Soviet Union, extreme patriotism, and general unreserved support of Western culture, Salinger drew inspiration and values from Eastern philosophy and Russian folk tales. Despite these potentially controversial elements, Franny and Zooey, published in book form in 1961, was an instant bestseller.

Over the years I’ve always been a fan of cinnamon. As a kid growing up, I loved the heat of cinnamon hearts on Valentine’s Day and my choice of chewing gum was always cinnamon flavor. Since studying holistic nutrition at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition, I quickly learned that cinnamon hearts and flavored gum needed healthy replacements. No problem! Knowing that cinnamon is high in fiber, I decided to use cinnamon not only because it tastes great but also for its ability to keep my system clean. Adding cinnamon to muffins and smoothies became a new healthy habit and a great way to create tasty and healthy desserts and snacks. Cinnamon also has an amazing effect on improving vitality. Yes, my workouts became stronger because cinnamon improves blood circulation and, what a bonus, it also brings down cholesterol levels. I guess with cleaner arteries there is more room for blood to flow!
Let’s undress cinnamon to see why it looks so good naked!
Cinnamon is a good source of vitamin A, beta carotene, iron, calcium, manganese, and dietary fiber.
Cinnamon is high in fiber
Trying to get your daily fiber in and finding plain ground flaxseeds are getting a little boring? Mixing in 1 teaspoon with 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds to your breakfast smoothie will add another 1.24g of spicy heart-healthy fiber. Not only does cinnamon help clean your intestines, if also helps to control Candida and bad bacteria (such as H.Pylori).
Cinnamon helps bring down cholesterol levels and improves blood flow
Cinnamon has been shown to reduce cholesterol levels. Armed with a powerful phytonutrient, cinnamon steps into the blood stream and like a bouncer at a dance club where a fight just broke out and everyone’s clumped together to watch, Cinnamon steps in and breaks up blood components (called platelets, you probably know of them!) that are clumping together. Single file everyone! Cinnamon therefore keeps the blood flowing smoothly preventing blood clots, heart attacks as well as strokes.
Cinnamon is great in a pre-workout smoothie to aid in blood delivery to the cells
Since cinnamon helps keep blood flowing smoothly and keeps junk from building up on the artery walls, you’ll want to reap the benefits of cinnamon in your smoothies, especially pre-workout!
Cinnamon contains iron
Cinnamon also has iron. Iron is also an important component of blood because it helps deliver oxygen to every cell in our body. With more oxygen, we have more energy. With cleaner arteries, we have more blood flow containing more oxygen, providing larger amounts of fuel for energy.
Cinnamon also improves insulin sensitivity
There are compounds in cinnamon that help to balance blood sugar levels. Current research shows that 1g per day of cinnamon (approximately 1/4- 1/2 teaspoon) produces about a 20% drop in blood sugar levels. The sugar in the blood is used to produce energy in our cells. If sugar is not allowed in the cell, we call this ‘insulin resistance’ then the amount of sugar in our blood starts to collect and increase. Because it is just sitting around in our blood and our cells aren’t able to use it, our bodies then start to store it as fat. This is how too much sugar starts to lead to Type II diabetes (also known as insulin resistance). Insulin helps encourage the cells to let sugar in the blood inside. Cinnamon helps by improving insulin sensitivity by 20%, encouraging our cell’s to let more sugar in. With our blood sugar levels being lower and more stable, we are now able to use the sugar for energy therefore increasing weightloss ability and improving energy levels.
Cinnamon is a delicious spice, add it to desserts, fruits and teas
Did I mention that cinnamon is great on desserts? It makes a great substitute for sugar. It adds a little extra kick to your taste buds and a little extra pump in the gym. Next time you have a chance and you’re a fan of smoothies, like myself, throw in a dash of cinnamon. Sprinkle it on top of your herbal teas (especially chai). Make your dehydrated banana chips shine with a dash of cinnamon.

Kazakh is the official language of Kazakhstan, while Russian is widely spoken and understood. English is also spoken in tourist areas and major cities.
WiFi and SIM Cards
WiFi is available in hotels, cafes, and public areas in major cities and tourist areas. You can also purchase local SIM cards from mobile operators for data and calling services during your stay.
Health and Safety
Kazakhstan has a well-developed healthcare system, particularly in major cities. It is advisable to have travel insurance that covers medical expenses. It is also recommended to stay hydrated, protect yourself from the sun, and take precautions against insect bites, particularly in rural areas.
Here's another tip (or trick, you decide): Embrace the warmth and hospitality of the Kazakh people. Engage with the locals, learn about their traditions, and be open to new experiences. Whether it's joining in a traditional dance, attending a local festival, or sharing a meal with a Kazakh family, these interactions will enrich your journey and create lasting memories of your time in Kazakhstan.

m.guardian.co.uk Elmore Leonard: Using adverbs is a mortal sin 1 Never open a book with weather. If it's only to create atmosphere, and not a character's reaction to the weather, you don't want to go on too long. The reader is apt to leaf ahead looking for people. There are exceptions. 2 Avoid prologues: they can be annoying, especially a prologue following an introduction that comes after a foreword. 3 Never use a verb other than "said" to carry dialogue. 4 Never use an adverb to modify the verb "said" ... he admonished gravely. 5 Keep your exclamation points under control. 6 Never use the words "suddenly" or "all hell broke loose". 7 Use regional dialect, patois, sparingly. 8 Avoid detailed descriptions of characters, which Steinbeck covered. 9 Don't go into great detail describing places and things, unless you're Margaret Atwood and can paint scenes with language. 10 Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip.

10 Commandments for a Happy Writer by Nathan Bransford Writers aren't generally known as the happiest lot. As a recent Guardian survey of some top writers shows, even the best ones don't particularly enjoy it all that much. And in case you think this is a new development, an 1842 letter from Edgar Allen Poe to his publisher recently surfaced in which he was found apologizing for drinking so much and begging for money. But believe it or not, writing and happiness can, in fact, go together. For our Thursday entry in Positivity Week, here are ten ways for a writer to stay positive: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Nathan Bransford is the author of JACOB WONDERBAR AND THE COSMIC SPACE KAPOW, a middle grade novel about three kids who blast off into space, break the universe, and have to find their way back home, which was published by Dial Books for Young Readers in May 2011.
9 (Arbitrary) Ways to Get Your Writing Rejected When novelist Helen Simonson ( Major Pettigrew's Last Stand) was asked to help winnow entries for short story contests and literary journals, it was her turn to switch from seeking approval to giving it out. Sparingly. As she puts it: Having spent many years putting hours of effort and creativity into my own work -- sending off brown envelopes filled with still-warm pages, to various editors and judges -- it is rather horrifying to discover that it takes me about a minute to know that yet another manuscript is about to be "binned" as they say. What follows is a few of Simonson's deal-killers, from her only somewhat tongue-in-cheek article "Ten ways to get your writing rejected' : Your male character is carrying around a battered and much-loved copy of a Dostoevsky, Wittgenstein or Rimbaud -- guaranteed to get you moved to the "Pretentious?

Creative Thinking Techniques .:VirtualSalt Robert Harris Version Date: January 5, 2002 You'll remember the five creative methods we discussed in the Introduction to Creative Thinking: evolution, synthesis, revolution, reapplication, changing direction. Many classic creative thinking techniques make use of one or more of these methods. Note in this section that the goal is to produce a good quantity and a good quality of new ideas and solutions so that the best ones may be chosen. Brainstorming Alex Osborn, advertising writer of the fifties and sixties, has contributed many very powerful creative thinking techniques. Brainstorming is an idea generating technique. Basic Guidelines for Brainstorming Brainstorming is useful for attacking specific (rather than general) problems and where a collection of good, fresh, new ideas (rather than judgment or decision analysis) are needed.

Intro to Screenwriting So, you're going to write a screenplay. This is awesome. And if you're a little nervous about it, that's awesome too, because it means you're not alone. After all, screenwriting isn't something that we learn in grammar school or do at dinner parties. It feels more like a mysterious dark art practiced by reclusive alchemists who only emerge from their caves for all-too-brief Academy Awards appearances. But the truth is that screenwriting is within the grasp of mere mortals. That said, we've included a few tips that might help you wrap your brain around your screenplay and make your first draft go a little more smoothly. 1) Support The Draft The entire month of April will be largely delightful if you just repeat these words each morning in front of a mirror: "This is a draft. 2) Start Reading Movies Most of us can talk tirelessly about our favorite movie scenes, plot twists, and happy endings. There's a very easy, enjoyable remedy for this: reading screenplays. No idea how do this?

Fresh off its big $30 million venture capital windfall, CipherCloud is barrelling ahead with the hiring of new sales and marketing executives to help drive the company forward. It's probably good timing, too, as during our last conversation with CipherCloud, they joked about essentially being little more than an executive skeleton crew.
Building out the management team was one of the key priorities on the executive team's to-do list when Andreessen Horowitz announced its multi-million dollar investment in the two-year-old cloud security company. CipherCloud has added Travis Patterson as senior vice president of worldwide sales. Previously, the company added Paige Leidig to the staff as senior vice presient. Leidig has now assumed the CMO role.
Patterson joins CipherCloud from Marble Cloud (formerly IronKey), where he was the vice president of sales and support. Leidig comes from SAP, where he was global vice president in the office of the CEO. Both report directly to CipherCloud CEO and founder, Pravin Kothari.
With a combination of direct and channel sales in its go-to-market strategy, the addition of a new SVP of worldwide sales could mean good things for CipherCloud channel partners. The executive team has been running fast over the last couple of years -- so fast that it has been focused on being a startup and getting its product to market. Chances are, the channel has not been its number one priority, but the addition of a new worldwide sales could alleviate some of the pressure on the rest of the team and give the new hire a chance to put more focus on the company's indirect sales channel. Only time will tell, of course.
That's not to say CipherCloud has neglected its channel partners by any means. It launched a cloud encryption partner program in September to make stronger connections to its partners. The company has also been busy updating its products and launching new ones -- including releasing content-aware encryption capabilities within CipherCloud Gateway 3.5 and launching the CipherCloud Database Gateway.

MORRISVILLE, Vt. -
Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin is getting his office in the holiday spirit by cutting down a couple of Christmas trees and bringing them to the capitol.
Wednesday he visited Paine's Christmas Trees in Morrisville Vermont where he had his choice of 8-foot (that's what fits in his office lobby) Fraser firs. Paine's has been growing Christmas Trees since the 60's and Thomas Paine took over for his father in the 80's. But this is the first time a Vermont governor has picked a tree from his farm.
"Yeah it does make me feel good. That's for sure," Paine said.
Paine's farm was recommended to the governor by the Vermont Christmas Tree Association. He used to sell trees wholesale, thousands at a time, before he switched to "choose and cut" where each person gets to walk through the field and pick out their own tree.
And escorting Governor Shumlin on his journey to pick a pair of beautiful trees was Thomas's son, Ben. Ben drives the tractor around the farm, helps cut trees down but told me he really hopes his teacher and classmates are watching the news Wednesday night to see his dad's farm.
Ben says that one day he'll take over the Paine family business.
"I'm going to try and extend it and make it even awesome," Ben Paine said.
Governor Shumlin endorsed the idea.
"He's gonna do a great job. You watched him go after that tree with that saw," Gov. Shumlin said.
"He knows how to pick him. He picked both these trees. I figure he has better training than I do."
And Ben did pick some beautiful trees. Both of them were transported to the Pavilion in Montpelier where people started decorating them within the hour.
But for Ben the best part takes place on the Paine farm.
"Customers are really fun, they get to cut down trees. What's not fun about it?" Ben said.

Here as elsewhere, the authors reveal an uncommon sensitivity to the abrasive impact of capitalist culture on human relationships. They prefer to focus on friendship rather than community as a nodule of the good life (claiming persuasively that “community” is too easily reified into a collective ideal that somehow transcends the welfare of its individual members). And they note the difficulties of sustaining friendship in a culture obsessed with mobility, autonomy and utility, where the speed-up is a way of life. “You need to rid your life of Leeches and replace them with Energizers,” says American lifestyle coach Robert Pagliarini. It is one of those quotations that, in its very banality and predictability, encapsulates the depth of our moral predicament. Free-market fundamentalists, the Skidelskys argue, “get things precisely backwards. It is not human beings who need adapting to the market; it is the market that needs adapting to human beings.” You cannot find a more succinct and compelling indictment of neoliberalism than that.
The Skidelskys’ alternative is modest and deeply humane, and involves no posturing or jargon. They are social democrats, not socialists, and they want to retrieve the ethical language of social democracy—on the assumption that if we start talking seriously about the good life again, we can begin re-creating the institutions to sustain it. They believe personal autonomy is one good among others, without giving it special preference. They believe that the cultivation of personality is a good as well, and that people need “a room behind the shop,” a protected place apart from commercial transactions to pursue that cultivation. They believe in the importance of property as a base for cultivating one’s tastes and ideals—one’s personality. But they like their property small; they are drawn to the traditions of Catholic personalism and distributionism—the localist communitarianism embraced by figures as diverse as G.K. Chesterton and Dorothy Day. They know, with William Morris, that the precondition for leisure is the reduction of toil. (That would include, for starters, the relaxing of demands for increased productivity, the slowing down of the speeding up.) They also know there are links between social Catholicism, the sociological liberalism of Tocqueville, and Burkean conservatism; with the thinkers in these traditions, they share an enthusiasm for mutual-aid societies and employee cooperatives—for voluntary associations that provide a meeting ground between the remote organization and the isolated individual. They might have mentioned the Protestant Social Gospel, and the need to recover and reassert it against the cult of prosperity that for several decades has commanded center stage in contemporary evangelicalism. An enlarged Protestant ethic—one that prizes commonwealth over wealth—could enrich their vision of the good life as well.
In the Skidelskys’ vision of the good society, noncoercive paternalism would be balanced by localism. The state would bear responsibility for promoting basic goods, would ensure that the fruits of productivity are shared more evenly, and would reduce the pressure to consume—perhaps through a progressive expenditure tax like the one proposed by the economist Robert Frank. This would restrain what he calls the “runaway spending at the top,” which belies the myth that the 1 percent is the “investing class” and has “spawned a luxury fever,” Frank writes, that “has us all in its grip.” To that same end—the dampening of consumption—the Skidelskys propose eliminating advertising as a deductible business expense. They are also refreshingly resistant to free-market globaloney. The good life, they make clear, is not (and cannot be) dependent on globalization: “Developed countries will have to rely more on domestic sources of production to satisfy their needs; developing market economies will need to abandon export-growth models that rely on ever-increasing consumption demand in developed countries.” Scaling back consumption means scaling down international trade. This is not an ascetic agenda—the charge so often leveled against critics of consumer culture, as if consumption is the only imaginable form of leisure. On the contrary: How Much Is Enough? is an effort to imagine possibilities for a satisfying life beyond market discipline.
The Skidelskys want to revive a more capacious sense of leisure, and they conclude their book by underscoring the material basis for it: a “long-term decrease in the demand for labor resulting from continuous improvements in labor productivity.” This has already happened, but the fruits of increased productivity have gone to CEOs and shareholders. Were those gains to be redirected to the workers themselves, the results would be startling: reductions in working hours, early retirements, experiments in work sharing, the thirty-five-hour week and the like. Who knows? People might even be happier.
This vision is timely, a crucial contribution to contemporary political debate. But what gives it arresting force is the commitment behind it. The Skidelskys deploy a tone of moral seriousness that few on the left seem willing to risk today—at least with respect to imagining the good life. Moral seriousness is always a tricky business; no one likes a scold. But after all the Skidelskys’ apt examples and patient arguments, they have established the authority to make this claim: “At the core of our system is a moral decay that is tolerated only because the cleansing of its Augean stables is too traumatic to contemplate.” How Much Is Enough? gets it right. Reading its bracing criticism and humane proposals, I felt a sense, however fleeting, of real happiness.

If you have been following Treasured Tidbits recently, you would have noticed that we have focused on organizing this month, or at least tried to with the 30 Day Organizing Challenge program just getting started. I would love to say I am following it perfectly while sticking to our menu and shopping plans, BUT I AM NOT.
Last Thursday my hip and sacrum moved, and due to my EDS it doesn’t want to return to it’s proper location, causing me undue pain and an inability to walk without support. That “physical challenge” made me skip shopping and adjust the menu for others to prepare each night. I am happy to say hubby did do the shopping and we did stock up using Penny Pinchers and current sales. Before you get excited, I make the list by category, coupon and price, and hubby goes in and calls if he has ANY questions. Yes, I have an absolutely AMAZING husband!!!
Due to the EDS flare starting last week and the unbelievable popularity of the organizing series, I chose to skip last week’s menu and combine the two Menu Mondays. We did minimal shopping last week while I waited for the new paycheck and tried to use up the stock on hand, including unloading and turning off our spare mini freezer and defrosting our main freezer (before I went down for the count).
We have come a long way in keeping the overflow moving and rotating, but I am hoping to get even better as I become more experienced with it. Shopping weekly has saved us tons of money and stress, but some things I know I should just buy on sale and freeze for a later date and those are the items I struggle to keep in balance. What about you? What part of grocery shopping and menu planning is hard for you?

(Photos, decor and more to come on that.)
I must apologize, we seem to have lost the receipt to Save A Lot, so I cannot offer you a breakdown on the pricing this time, but I do know the sausage and mayonnaise were included in the recent sale.
We also purchased 2 cases of water and 4 6-packs of Pepsi from Walmart to carry us through the week, bringing this week’s groceries to $190 with the anticipation of purchasing another 2 gallons of milk, 2 dozen eggs and 2 loaves of bread, totaling another $20. Yep, we spent a whopping $210 with $15 being for the upcoming Halloween party and a large portion to be used throughout the next 30 days. How did your shopping trip go?
