Event Marketer and leading experiential marketing agency Opus announced today a multi-year partnership to educate and elevate the use of strategy across event and experiential marketing portfolios.
"Many marketers are still using 'flawless execution' as a barometer for event success," says EM founder Kerry Smith. "But flawless execution requires a flawless strategy—which is why I'm so excited to be working with Opus to raise awareness on the importance of event strategy."
"We firmly believe that live events are one of the most valuable marketing and sales channels available today. By developing strategies around data capture and analytics, pre- and post-attendee engagement, content, and experience design, marketers will be able to effectively promote the value of events across their organization," says Kim Kopetz, EVP Strategy and Marketing at Portland, OR-based Opus. "We are thrilled to partner with EM to help uplevel the conversation on better leveraging events to drive business objectives and results."
EXPERIENTIAL STRATEGY BENCHMARKING STUDY. Opus and EM have already fielded the largest study ever produced on event strategy -- a survey of Fortune 1000 senior marketers across the industry on the state of strategy—who has it, who doesn't, what strategy means to different marketers and the different components of the modern marketer's event strategy. The survey will probe ROI and metrics, design, ideation and other elements and the data will be incorporated into first-ever data-based portrait of where event strategy is and where it needs to go. The report will be available in May and will be presented at the Executive Forum at EMS.
Other initiatives in development include additional live programs, online education and research.

SIR PRIZE lived up to his name when a long shot 20/1 winner at Kempton on January 5th and he duly followed that up with another win at the Sunbury track yesterday, albeit at the shorter odds of 5/1.
As was the case earlier in the month, he was drawn wide and again Robert Winston held him up. The trip was a furlong shorter this time around at 1m 3f. There was little pace on early as nobody seemed keen to go on. This was borne out by the time of the race which was over 8 seconds slower than standard.
Last time, Sir Prize came from off the pace and wide and given the way the race panned out, he did well to win. Yesterday, he had an easier passage and Robert brought him with a withering run in the home straight as he beat the gambled-on 15/8 favourite, Ilhabella fact by a neck. It was a further 2 1/4 lengths back to the third horse, Singing Sheriff.
This was only the sixth run for Sir Prize who has had his problems, hence him being so lightly raced. He only went up two pounds last time and the handicapper cannot be too harsh on him given the victory by a neck, especially if he concurs with the Racing Post which described the race as "an ordinary handicap." Congratulations to owners Michael and Heather Yarrow, whose son of Sir Percy was purchased for 115,000 guineas.
Yesterday's victory by Sir Prize was the fourth success for Harper Lodge Farm this month, following the successes of Swiss Chime, Tropics and a previous win by Sir Prize. This equals the start made in January of last year.
The stable has plenty more horses to run on the all-weather this winter and will be looking to go into the new turf season with a few more wins against its name.

Scientists Watch Solar Winds Blast Mercury's Magnetic Field
A NASA team used the MESSENGER spacecraft to analyze Mercury's magnetosphere during intense solar wind pressure.

Scientists working on NASA's Mercury orbiter, the Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft, have watched in recent years as coronal mass ejections from the Sun sent solar winds sailing toward the solar system's innermost planet during the recent peaks of the solar cycle. The team studied what the most extreme of these events do to the planet's magnetosphere—the region controlled by Mercury's weak magnetic field.
Since the spacecraft arrived in 2011, its observations have shown that Mercury's magnetic field closely aligns with the planet's rotation axis and carries a polarity similar to Earth's. The tiny planet packs a large iron core; however, its magnetic field reaches just one fifth of its radius beyond the surface and packs about 1% of the strength of Earth's.
Slavin et al. examined the solar wind's impact on reconnection, where magnetic field lines from the Sun connect with field lines at a planet, releasing both kinetic and thermal energy and accelerating particles to high speeds. The team identified three spacecraft passes where the planet's magnetic field exceeded 300 nanoteslas—roughly 3 times the strength typically seen. To hit those levels, the authors say that the pressure of solar wind hitting Mercury must have risen by some 4 to 9 times above normal in each instance.
The team's results show that Mercury's magnetic reconnection is intense and that the magnetopause actually intersected the planet's surface at times in the southern hemisphere, where the magnetic field is weakest. The authors say their analysis shows that the edge of Mercury's magnetic field responds to increasing solar wind pressure very similarly to how Earth responds.

Game-Based Tools Teach Energy Reduction at Baylor
Building on its decade-long energy management initiative, Baylor University, Waco, Texas, identified the next logical step in improving a program that already saves the university more than $2.6 million annually. The training and awareness initiative engages faculty, staff, and students in efforts to reduce energy consumption through responsible choices. The ultimate goal: fostering effective behavioral change.
The awareness program is highly innovative and inter-active. The element that helped Baylor become one of four of NACUBO's 2013 Innovation Award recipients was the university's use of game-based learning as the central training tool in educating the community and creating behavior change relative to energy and water.
EnergyZone, a Web-based community competition platform developed via a partnership with ARAMARK and Noveda Technologies, is the prime interface used by students to monitor energy usage in their residence halls. The monitor tracks in real time electrical use for all university residence halls. EnergyFlow, the monitoring feature used by the Baylor facilities staff, provides a history of energy consumption and allows for reports on each building that can be used for analysis.
Technology Teaching Moments
The online platform allows individuals and teams to track and compare energy use in numerous ways. The Baylor Energy Madness Residence Hall Competition, one of the most influential techniques so far, is an event held each semester that pits residence hall teams against one another, awarding points for lowering consumption in their particular hall. Bonus points are awarded over the course of the competition, for participating in other energy-related activities, such as:
The "Dark Hall" competition. Students turn off lights and unplug items, learning how large an energy reduction they can score.
Energy jeopardy and energy trivia games. Participants collect points for correctly answering questions related to carbon use, water conservation, and other sustainability measures.
Break pledges. Students sign commitments agreeing to turn off or unplug all items possible before leaving on break.
Over the course of the four Energy Madness competitions, nearly 1,000 students from competing residence halls participated in the various events, with 40 percent taking part in more than one event. Each Madness contest has saved, on average, 5 percent in consumption.
Socialize, Communicate
The EnergyZone site engages students through links to social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, and provides tips for energy economy. As a result of this and other communications—such as print posters, brochures, table tents, and stickers—students now send e-mail to program managers, sharing ideas about ways to reduce fossil fuel consumption in different campus locations.
Another Baylor Energy Awareness Program is the inclusion of program materials in special informational packets distributed to new employees as well as new and prospective students. For current staff, energy awareness meetings convey everything from temperature guidelines to campus updates.
Overall, the campus community has been very receptive to the environmentally conscious efforts. Most departments are willing to work with facility services to carry out suggestions, and the various outreach efforts have helped faculty and staff accept and adhere to campus temperature guidelines. The resulting conversations and interactions have also helped strengthen the relationship between staff and facilities services personnel.
A Favorable Outcome
The energy awareness program has increased customer satisfaction and heightened the awareness level of all things energy-related. In the four years since its implementation, the initiative has scored significant results:
The life has been extended for a number of physical assets, because they operate as intended with reduced deferred maintenance costs.
More than 40 events and activities have engaged students from all parts of campus life.
Since 2010, the program has saved the university nearly $1.4 million.
The results show the building of a foundation for behavioral and cultural change that will serve the university for years to come.

An Apple for the Planet
It's not too late to join the second annual Green Apple Day of Service, slated for Saturday, September 28. The Center for Green Schools at the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) launched the Green Apple movement last year, working to ensure that every student has the opportunity to attend a green school within this generation. The 2012 effort involved more than 1,200 communities around the world; in all 50 states, on every continent, and in more than 40 countries, events and school improvement projects helped elevate discussion around healthy, high-performing educational environments.
To register a project for this year's event, go to http://mygreenapple.org, where you'll find ideas ranging from energy audits to indoor air improvements, from green nutrition to creative recycling.
Particularly for campuses and universities, Jaime Van Mourik, director of higher education for the Center for Green Schools, recommends coordinating two upcoming events, "kicking off a project on September 28 that can be completed in time to be celebrated on October 23, Campus Sustainability Day."
Videos and webcasts provide training for teams involved in Green Apple projects. On September 26, participants can tune in to the Green Apple Day of Service Web site to hear about the projects that will be taking place around the world.
Outsourcing Is an Option
Speakers at the NACUBO 2013 Annual Meeting session, "Challenges, Pitfalls, and Success Stories of Outsourcing in Higher Education," discussed how their institutions have effectively outsourced certain functions to private third parties.
Mary Peloquin-Dodd, associate vice chancellor for finance and business, and university treasurer, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, said that the university decided seven years ago to outsource management of the endowment to the University of North Carolina Management Corp., which also manages the endowment of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, because it had a limited investment staff and outsourcing was a lower cost alternative.
The University of South Florida, Tampa, has outsourced some unconventional areas such as arena operations besides outsourcing its data center operations, bookstore, sports marketing, and elements of investment management and debt management, said Fell Stubbs, university treasurer and executive director, USF Financing Corp. and USF Property Corp. Outsourcing started as a cost containment solution, but now has become part of USF's strategic planning.
The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, recently leased its parking operations to a private partner for 50 years. "We settled on the fact that if something wasn't core to the university, we should look at it and consider whether we should do it or not," said Michael Papadakis, vice president and treasurer at OSU. Ultimately, the university agreed to a 50-year partnership for a price of approximately $480 million, which it invested in the university's endowment.
OSU is also looking into other potential services it can outsource, including its golf course and power plant and distribution system.
FASB Proposes Public Entity Definition Change
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a proposed Accounting Standards Update (ASU) on August 7, suggesting a single definition of a "public business entity" for use in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The proposal would amend the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification and exclude all not-for-profit organizations from the definition of a public business entity for all future standard setting.
The impetus behind the draft guidance began with the formation of FASB's relatively new Private Company Council and the requisite for a private company decision-making framework. That framework will consist of a "Guide for Evaluating Financial Accounting and Reporting for Private Companies" (the Guide), currently in draft form. The proposed ASU seeks to clarify which entities would be excluded from using alternative accounting and reporting guidance in the Guide.
The proposal defines a public business entity and excludes those entities from the scope of the Guide. The proposal also excludes not-for-profit entities from both the scope of the Guide and the definition of a public business entity. Accordingly, the proposal will end the public versus nonpublic distinction between not-for-profits when applying future accounting and reporting guidance. The proposal would not affect existing standards and the related disclosure requirements.
For more details on the proposal and its relevance for independent nonprofit colleges and universities, see the Accounting section at www.nacubo.org.
The latest Snapshot Report from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center finds that 6.1 percent of students who received a bachelor's degree in 2009–10 went on to enroll in a two-year community college within the next two academic years. This pattern, which is most common among those in the health-care and social services fields, showed a decrease from the 6.5 percent of 2008–09 graduates—perhaps indicating an improving economy.
Project Focuses on Expanding Access
In late June, the Brookings Institution hosted a forum on the importance of expanding college opportunity for more Americans and released the paper "Thirteen Economic Facts About Social Mobility and the Role of Education." Noting that countries with high economic inequality generally experience low social mobility, the policy paper suggests that improving the quality of and access to higher education still has the potential to increase equality of opportunity for all Americans. "Higher education improves the chances for a high quality of life and is correlated with better health, better civic engagement, and lower crime rates," noted William "Brit" Kirwan, chancellor at the University of Maryland, and forum participant.
Continued Growth in Charitable Contributions
The results reported in Indiana University's annual Giving USA survey, released in late June, indicate a continuing recovery for charitable giving, which fell below $300 billion before recovering during the past three survey years. The 3.5 percent gain in donations in 2012 brought total giving to roughly $316 billion, compared to the record high in 2007 of $344.5 billion. Despite the steadily increasing numbers, the report analysis indicates that at current rates of growth, it will still take another six years before total donations return to prerecession levels.

Q: Trying to scan the number of newlines in a user designated file in C I have been trying to count the number of newlines in a file named testprog. Though the user needs to input the file name so it is versatile. The program compile but I keep having a segmentation fault.
testprog is as follows
Rd 5000
st n 2017
ld zero 1014
st sum 2016
L: ld n 1017
Add sum 3016
St sum 2016
Ld n 1017
Sub one 4015
St n 2017
Brgt L 8004
Ld sum 1016
Wr 6000
Stop 0000
Zero: 0 0000
One: 1 0001
Sum: 0 0000
N: 0 0000

The code i have is
int main()
{
 unsigned int Line = 0;
 int ch;
 FILE *My_file;
 char command;
 //the command being entered

 do
 {
  printf("Command: ");
  scanf("%s",&command);
  if (command=='l'||command=='L')
  //loads file name to 'memory'
  {
   printf("load file name: ");
   scanf(" %s",memory);
   My_file = fopen(memory,"r");
   while (EOF != (ch=getc(My_file)))
   {
    if ( ch == '\n' )
     Line++;
   }

The command entered is L; the file name is testprog, I receive a segmentation fault after i press enter for the file name. Im looking to receive 17 as the value for line, though i wish for the program to be versatile so that later with testprog2 it sends the right number of lines to Line. I have been searching online for hours for help to no avail. Thank you very much for any help you can give.

A: You get a segfault because you are trying to scan a non-empty string into a single-character variable:
scanf("%s", &command); // command is char

Since C strings are null-terminated, the value you enter gets written into command, and '\0' terminator gets written into the location one past the end of command, causing undefined behavior.
To fix this problem make command an array, and provide a limit to scanf, like this:
char command[2];
scanf("%1s", command); // %1s tells scanf that the string is at most one-char long

Now you need to use command[0] == in place of command == ... to interpret the command.

One of six interns on staff, Josie Newson has been working at Access Living since November of 2012. Though she has been on staff for a relatively short time, she is not a stranger to the disability community and disability advocacy, particularly within the mental health community. She served on the Advisory Board for and volunteered with the Englewood Mental Health Clinic. Also, she was affiliated with STOP (Southside Together Organizing for Power), an advocacy group for people with mental health issues. Last year, Josie rallied in Woodlawn as part of the movement that protested against the closure of mental health clinics in Chicago.
Josie works with Access Living through the Staff Associate Program, a partnership with the Illinois Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. The program allows Access Living to hire a small number of vocational rehabilitation clients with disabilities. While associates partner with Access Living staff on organizational issues, they learn job skills that will equip them to find full-time employment after graduating from the program. Josie has worked with Vivian King, a Department of Human Services Counselor, for 12 years. Vivian has helped Josie through her academic career and helped place Josie with Access Living. Prior to Access Living, Josie completed an internship with Esperanza School, a school for children with Autism and cognitive disabilities.
Looking ahead, Josie plans to return to school. With a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from Northeastern Illinois University, she plans to study for a Master's Degree at Governor's State University. "I would like to open up a social service agency in a poverty stricken area," Josie said, talking about her goals. The agency would focus on services for kids. Josie explained that "I want to instill in the (minds of) the kids that there are people out there who will steer them in the right direction." With Josie at the wheel, the kids are sure to be put on a good path.

Green Fingers
Green Fingers is a 1947 British drama film directed by John Harlow and starring Robert Beatty, Carol Raye and Nova Pilbeam.[2]
The film title does not use the term green fingers in its normal context, alluding to an untaught and natural skill at growing plants, but rather applies it to the world of alternative medicine and the ancient concept of individuals being natural "healers".
Thomas Stone, a seaman on a fishing trawler, discovers that he has what appear to be healing powers when a crewmate is injured. He shows a natural aptitude as a healer.
He begins training formally as an osteopath, but his natural flair in combination with human sympathy causes him to treat the daughter of the family where he lodges two months before he is due to qualify. He cures her, enabling her to walk, but is thrown out of his studies as a result. He does, however, marry the girl. He also gets much press coverage for his cure - attracting many clients.
During his studies, he had waited on tables in a high-class restaurant. There he encountered Alexandra, the daughter of a doctor. Her father had failed to cure her constant headaches. She has much faith in Stone, and becomes his patron, also beginning an affair.
When he is asked to choose between his wife and Alexandra, he chooses his wife. Alexandra is furious. He refuses to believe her headache is real, and when she goes home her father is also unsympathetic. She commits suicide.
At the public inquest, he has to reveal his affair. Worse still, it is proven that his one diagnosis of a pituitary problem was wrong. If she had only been x-rayed it would have revealed an operable tumour. Stone has therefore effectively killed her. He is denounced as a quack.
His wife stands by him. Moreover, he is informed he can return to complete his studies and formally qualify, as this too would have avoided the tragedy.
On a boating trip near their home in Whitby, his wife becomes sick, and loses the power of her legs again. He wants to now wait until he is qualified or get in a professional. But she has faith in him and wants him to cure her.
The film ends with them walking hand-in-hand to Whitby Abbey with Jeannie clearly cured.
It was made by British National Films at Elstree Studios with some scenes shot on location in Whitby in Yorkshire. The film's sets were designed by the art director Wilfred Arnold.[3]

How to convert your old audio tapes to MP3 and other digital formats
Audio How-To
How to convert cassettes tapes to mp3
Transfer those old audio cassettes to digital formats that you can listen to on all your devices. We show you how to get the music off your old tapes.
Listen to old tapes on your phone, tablet, PC and more
By Martyn Casserly | 06 Jun 2019
If you had a Sony Walkman when you were younger, then there's a good chance there's a box of old cassette tapes in a box because you just couldn't bear to throw them away. These might be mixtapes, bootlegs of long-forgotten concerts, demo tapes from your old band, or just albums that never quite made the transition to the likes of Spotify.
But what can you do if you want to listen to them on your phone, tablet, or PC? We show you the simple way to convert analogue cassettes to digital formats.
How do I transfer cassette tapes to my computer?
In order to convert cassettes to mp3 you'll need a tape player, cables, a PC, and some audio software such as Audacity.
If you still have your old Walkman, that'll do nicely as it should have a 3.5mm headphone jack, but an old hi-fi with a headphone output or RCA phono jacks will work too. Check both your player and PC to see which audio cables you'll need.
Your computer will need some kind of analogue audio input, such as a line-in or microphone minijack.
As a rule of thumb, laptops tend to limit the options to a 3.5mm headphone/microphone jack these days, while a desktop PC is more likely to have a separate mic input and 3.5mm minijack input. It's best to use the one marked Line In to connect your tape player if you can.
If you don't have a working tape player then you might want to consider one that has a USB output designed specifically for sending audio to a computer, and this way your computer doesn't need to have a Line In.
These are quite cheap online, with the Tonor Portable Cassette Player Tape Converter available at the time of writing for £16.95 on Amazon UK. US buyers can get the Dansrue Super USB Cassette Capture which costs $21.99.
Audiophiles may want to search for something a bit more up market, but for the majority of us who just want to salvage old tapes, these devices will be fine. Let's not forget, the quality of cassettes was never great in the first place. And as we mentioned, it's worth checking to see if the album or songs you're trying to convert are available on Spotify or YouTube as even when converted to MP3 format, the quality you'll get from a cassette is relatively poor.
Some of the modern tape players will come with their own conversion software, but if not you can use Audacity, which is free and has all the tools you need.
How to convert cassette tapes with Audacity
Attach the cassette player to your PC via USB or (as we are doing here) via the Line Input, then click Start and search for Control Panel.
Select it from the results that appear. Next, navigate to Hardware & Sound > Sound. This opens a new window in which you want to select the Recording tab and then ensure that you can see the Line In listed and that it says "Plugged in". If you're using a USB player, check that this is also in the list which it should be if you have Windows 10. If it isn't there, it's likely you'll need to install the correct driver for it, and you'll need to follow the manufacturer's instructions to do so.
Launch Audacity, then from the menu bar at the top of the screen choose Edit > Preferences > Devices.
You'll see a section in the main panel marked Interface. In here should be a drop-down menu with MME as an option. Select this.
Just below is another section entitled Recording. Be sure that the settings in the Channels field is 2 (Stereo) and that your player is the one chosen in the Device field.
With the settings in place you can now set the levels for recording. To do this, press play on the tape and then check that the two green bars in the upper right corner don't go into the red, as that will distort the sound. To change the input levels you can either adjust the volume control on your player, or the input slider control (the one with a microphone icon) in Audacity.
Once you're happy with the levels you can rewind your tape to the beginning, click record on Audacity and press play on the cassette once more.
When the tape reaches the end of side one, pause the recording, turn the cassette over, then resume.
After the contents have been recorded into Audacity you'll be left with one, long continuous track. If you want to break this into individual tracks for each song then it will take a little editing.
Place the audacity playhead back at the beginning of the first track then select Tracks > Add Label At Selection from the menu bar at the top of the page.
Type in the name of the song, then press Enter. Now repeat this process, looking for the gaps between tracks that will be evident by the flat areas in the recording.
Now all you need to do is go to File > Export Multiple, select the format you desire, and finally click Export to send your sparking new digitised music to your hard drive. Note that Audacity doesn't come with an MP3 encoder due to licensing, but will give you instructions on how to download and install the Lame MP3 Encoder.
If you have any old records or video-tapes that need transferring, then be sure to also read our How to convert vinyl to mp3 and How to convert VHS to digital guides.

Facial nerve
Facial motor nucleus
Intracranial branches
Extracranial branches
Facial nerve monitoring
The segment of the facial nerve (FN) between its emergence from the skull through the stylomastoid foramen and its bifurcation at the parotid area is referred to as the Facial nerve trunk (FNT).
Intracranial (cisternal) segment
The nerve emerges immediately beneath the pons, lateral to the abducens nerve and medial to the vestibulocochlear nerve and is joined by the nervus intermedius, which has emerged lateral to the main trunk. Together the two travel through the cerebellopontine angle to the internal acoustic meatus.
Meatal segment
Having been joined by the nervus intermedius, they are located in the anterior superior quadrant, above the falciform crest and anterior to Bill's bar.
Labyrinthine segment
see Labyrinthine segment of the facial nerve.
Tympanic segment
As the nerve passes posteriorly from the geniculate ganglion it becomes the tympanic segment (8-11 mm in length) and is immediately beneath the lateral semicircular canal in the medial wall of the middle ear cavity. The bone of the Fallopian canal is often dehiscent in the area of the oval window in 25-55% of postmortem specimens, having mucosa in direct contact with the nerve. The nerve passes posterior to the cochleariform process, tensor tympani and oval window. Just distal to the pyramidal eminence the nerve makes a second turn (second genu) passing vertically downwards as the mastoid segment.
The tympanic segment has no branches.
Mastoid segment
The mastoid segment, measuring 8-14 mm in length, extends from the second genu to the stylomastoid foramen, through what is confusingly referred to as the Fallopian canal. It gives off three branches:
nerve to stapedius
chorda tympani: terminal branch of the nervus intermedius carrying both secretomotor fibres to the submandibular gland and sublingual gland and taste to the anterior two thirds of the tongue
nerve from the auricular branch of the vagus nerve (CN X): pain fibers to the posterior part of the external acoustic meatus hitchhike from the jugular foramen
Extra-temporal segment
As the nerve exits the stylomastoid foramen, it gives off a sensory branch that supplies part of the external acoustic meatus and tympanic membrane. It then passes between the posterior belly of the digastric muscle and the stylohyoid muscle and enters the parotid gland. Lying between the deep and superficial lobes of the gland the nerve divides into to main branches at the pes anserinus (Latin: duck foot) - a superior temporofacial and and inferior cervicofacial branches. From the anterior border of the gland, five branches emerge; temporal, zygomatic, buccal, mandibular (marginal) and cervical (see facial nerve branches mnemonic here).
The temporal branch runs with the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) over the zygomatic arch. This branch is at risk during surgery in this region. To avoid damage procedures should be deep to the SMAS (e.g. zygomatic fracture repairs).
The mandibular branch, in 80% of cases, runs along the lower border of the mandible (thus also referred to as marginal branch). In 20% of cases however it can be up to 2 cm below the margin of the mandible. It is crucial to be aware of this if surgery in the submandibular region is being performed. Injury to this branch will result in paralysis of mouth depressors.
see Facial motor nucleus
Greater petrosal nerve
Communicating branch to the otic ganglion - It arises at the geniculate ganglion and joins the lesser petrosal nerve to reach the otic ganglion.
Nerve to stapedius - provides motor innervation for stapedius muscle in middle ear
Chorda tympani
Sublingual gland
Special sensory taste fibers for the anterior 2/3 of the tongue.
CT: Chorda tympani; I: Incus; JB: Jugular bulb; LSC: Lateral semicircular canal; M: Malleus; PSC: Posterior semicircular canal; S: Stapes; SM: Stapedius muscle; SSC: Superior semicircular canal; VIIms: mastoid segment of VII cranial nerve; VIIts: tympanic segment of VII cranial nerve.
Distal to stylomastoid foramen, the following nerves branch off the facial nerve:
Posterior auricular nerve - controls movements of some of the scalp muscles around the ear
Branch to Posterior belly of Digastric muscle as well as the Stylohyoid muscle
Five major facial branches (in parotid gland) - from top to bottom:
Temporal branches of the facial nerve
Zygomatic branch
Buccal branch
Marginal mandibular branch
Cervical branch
The temporal branch of the facial nerve pierces the parotidomasseteric fascia below the zygomatic arch.
This branch travels first in the subcutaneous tissue and then, above the zygomatic arch, in the subgaleal space. The temporal branch divides into an anterior, a middle (frontal), and a posterior ramus soon after it pierces the parotid fascia. The course of the terminal twigs of the temporal branch of the facial nerve in the subgaleal space is extremely variable, with their location being at times posterior to the anterior one-fourth of the temporalis muscle. Occasionally, a twig for the frontalis muscle may run in between the two layers of the superficial temporal fascia. Because of these findings (anteroposterior variability of temporal branch twigs and recurrent intrafascial twig), Yasargil's interfascial dissection may at times fail. A combined frontotemporal scalp/superficial temporal fascia dissection is anatomically suited to preserve the temporal branch of the facial nerve 1).
