Boston Celtics Address "Unfortunate" Ime Udoka Controversy
The Celtics announced on Sept. 22 that Udoka was suspended as the coach for the 2022-2023 basketball season, effective immediately, for "violations of team policies."
While the organization did not elaborate further on what policies were broken, ESPN, citing multiple sources, shared earlier that day that Udoka—who is engaged to actress Nia Long—was facing disciplinary action for allegedly having "an intimate relationship with a female member of the franchise's staff."
Following the Celtics' announcement, Udoka issued an apology for his actions. "I want to apologize to our players, fans, the entire Celtics organization, and my family for letting them down," he said in a statement to ESPN reporter Malika Andrews Sept. 22. "I am sorry for putting the team in this difficult situation, and I accept the team's decision."

"Solid performances by Nicholas Bishop, Jon Voight, Sean Astin, C. Thomas Howell and Sherri Shepherd (in a refreshing dramatic role), as well as powerful action shots from the gritty football field, give Woodlawn the Hollywood action movie feel that makes you forget it's a Christian movie."
"I saw this movie and, I am telling you, take your kids… (Woodlawn) is going to inspire you. It's terrific! It's awesome!"
"I want to challenge high school sports coaches and players everywhere to go see Woodlawn!"
"Dynamic movie about the power of the Gospel to bridge any racial or cultural divide and the influence of sports to lead positive social change."
"I want to encourage you and the leaders of your church to embrace fully, my brother-in-Christ and to embrace fully the vision that God has put in his heart. 'Cause I'm convinced God can do more in a moment than we can ever do in a lifetime."
"Woodlawn is much more than a football movie, it's a story that can really minister to everyone. Growing up as a student athlete, then having played and coached at the professional level and now coaching high school, I could relate to the coaches and the players on so many levels. There were definitely men in my life who filled those roles. I was a coach's son and had an amazing Dad and coach, then playing for Coach Bowden, I was blessed to have more than a Coach but a spiritual role model. Those men and my other coaches as well, made all the difference in the man I am today. Coach Gerelds in the movie is cut form the same cloth. He made the kind of life impact on his players that I aspire to make on mine. It is for those very reasons that I have felt called in this season of my life to coach high school boys. Just like my coaches, I too want to be a part of their development into being men of integrity and character who work hard, want to be competitive but who also are on the winning team with God. It was so awesome to see how God can bring enemies together in the name of Jesus. The movie really captured how the Spirit of God will give you the victory in life when you allow Him to lead."
"Woodlawn is the best Christian Film I have ever seen "
"We showed WOODLAWN to our weekly FCA meeting and what happened afterwards was nothing short of an epic response to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As all of the athletes stood, it was as if the Spirit of God blew a tidal wave right over me. Unbelievable. It left me speechless. Over half of our crowd of 250 athletes stood to commit or recommit their lives to Christ and to take a stand for Jesus. There was a great buzz around campus the next day. Several have mentioned to me that their lives were changed forever. That's what happens when God shows up."
"I loved the movie WOODLAWN. It combines two of my favorite things: football and Jesus Christ. It was unbelievable. This movie is relevant for today because it deals with race relations and it shows how we can, through the power of the Holy Spirit, deal with those issues today and come together."
"Woodlawn is a must see. Great movie!"
"Football fan? The story of Tony Nathan and Woodlawn High School is the movie for you!"
"Woodlawn is a powerful, timely film."
"Woodlawn shows the spirit of what the whole Christian movement is all about. True competition is about the joy of coming together and being a part of something bigger than yourself. That's the message in Woodlawn. It's bigger than the game of football. It's bigger than wins and losses. It's bigger than one or two individuals."
"Woodlawn is the perfect example of why I believe that with God all things are possible. To some, this story will be unbelievable. The fact that it is true and that these incredible events and moments actually happened makes it a remarkable story of how faith in God can create real love and change lives and communities. Here's hoping for a similar "Jesus Revolution" in our day."
"WOODLAWN is a must see film that joins the ranks of faith and family films that spread a message of faith, justice and God's redemptive grace for the human family."
"Powerful, culturally relevant and deeply moving. A must-see."
"As a perfectionist in music, I've been a long time fan of films, and it's incredible to see God's heart and the attention to detail here!! Finally, a faith-based movie that's great on a quality level, and not just because the message was great."
"A film for this generation"
"I guarantee you will love this movie!"
"If you love Christ and if you love football, Woodlawn the movie is for you! True story that showcases what happens when 'God Shows Up!' Set aside the weekend of Oct 16th to go to Woodlawn."
"A riveting and profound testament to the influence FAITH can have on a football team, a high school and a city during one of the most socially challenging and tumultuous times in our nation's history. Our country faces similar realties today, which makes the movie's narrative both compelling and impactful."
"I was privileged to prescreen this amazing movie. Make plans to see it."
A moving film about what happens when faith in Jesus collides with a radically transformed heart."
"This movie will be transforming for everyone who sees it."
"If C.S. Lewis had written the screenplay for Rocky or Hoosiers, the resulting movie would have probably been a lot like Woodlawn. I can't wait to see it again. Woodlawn is a brilliant film."
"Be sure to put the movie Woodlawn on your must see list. It is terrific!"
"It's more than a movie...Woodlawn is a movement!"
"Woodlawn is one the most powerful faith-based films I have ever seen. This is more than a film about a historic football game; Woodlawn is the story of God's power breaking down the walls of racial prejudice.
Though set in the '70s, Woodlawn is so current and relevant for today, addressing the same problems that continue to divide us in America. A massive spiritual revival known as the Jesus Movement changed the people in this story, and my hope is that God will do it again.
I wholeheartedly endorse it and encourage you to see it. Take along someone who does not know the Lord yet as well!"
"Not only an amazing movie, but an incredibly important one as well!"
"WOODLAWN has a powerful message about team and what happens when a group of people come together with a singleness of purpose. The message is very relevant for the things that are going on now. It took love and courage to overcome the issues our nation faced back then, and that's what it's going to take today."


New album 8 is out on September 22nd.
Today's guests on the Creative Process podcast are Italian doom metal power trio Ufomammut. We had a pretty in depth chat about the symbolism of the number 8 which is the title of their new album, their thoughts on fate, why they love synth so much, if they ever considered releasing albums that just consisted of their synth work, how their work as graphic artists influences their music, their DIY attitude, working with Steve Von Till and Neurot Recordings. Before we get started I'd like to thank the patrons of Overblown and the podcast, without whom this would not be possible.
The symbolism of the number '8'.

Women in STEM campaign worsens bias against the humanities
Photo courtesy of Texas A&M
Reshma Saujani, lawyer and politician, has a phenomenal TED Talk called "Teach girls perfection, not bravery." In 12 minutes and 39 seconds, she expounds on what I've been struggling with my whole life: the stifling focus on perfection that has socialized girls into becoming hesitant at every turn. Girls, according to Saujani and seconded by me, "are taught to avoid risk and failure…to smile pretty, play it safe, get all A's." For 18 years, that's what I did, but people are still telling me I did it wrong. Why is that? Saujani dedicated the last seven minutes of her speech to a hot-button phrase of the last couple of years: "women in STEM." She's in her right to do so, seeing as how she is the founder of the novel company Girls Who Code, and I also concede the fact that yes, we do need more women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The field has a distinct lack of estrogen, but I see this assertion as yet another pillar of society cramming this idea into our heads, and carrying out a well-meaning socialization that's akin to brainwashing. The recent push for more female physicists and biochemical engineers has deepened a stigma of women in arts and humanities,"essentially promoting one by disparaging the other. This ignominy is not just found in the patronizing nods of family members in response to "history major." It can also be seen publicly in Wells Fargo's recent attempt at a tongue-in-cheek ad series revolving around the message "An artist today, A scientist tomorrow." It drew enough Internet ire that it was promptly withdrawn, but not before shining light on the science versus humanities battle.
The gender disparity is not at all limited to STEM fields, unfortunately. It's seen in a variety of careers: television and film directing, gourmet cuisine, philosophy, history, musical conducting, politics and many others. In fact, the gender disparity in non-STEM fields is even more dismal than that within STEM fields. In June, the Fortune 500 included only 21 companies led by women, a decrease from the 24 companies led by women in 2015 and 2014, whereas in STEM, according to PBS, women have gained enough traction to equal men in the biological, medical and chemical science labor forces; the only real disparity is in computer and environmental sciences. As reported by Catalyst, a non-profit organization whose mission is to increase female presence in the workplace, 50.1 percent of biological scientists, 52.8 percent of medical scientists, and 44.2 percent of chemical and materials scientists in the United States were women in 2013. They accounted, however, for only 25.6 percent of computer and mathematical occupations and 25.7 percent of environmental scientists and geoscientists. And if there are so many male-dominated careers, then why isn't there the same push for female gourmet chefs or philosophers? One would argue that it's because of the job security and opportunity STEM offers. Financial superiority should not trump bona fide passion, especially when the term financial superiority is essentially 'I am better than you' wrapped up and neatly tied with string. This mindset is increasingly prevalent in society, and it is doing considerable damage to young girls passionate about fields other than science.
Consider a young girl whose passion lies in the performing arts. She loves Shakespeare, almost to a fault, and when it comes time to apply to colleges, she applies as an English major. Is she any less of a feminist for pursuing her passion for the arts? Not at all. But the recent attitude toward humanities and social sciences certainly makes it seems so. Not only that, but what if this young girl takes her B.A. in English and becomes a leading scholar on Shakespearean text? Her insights could be the Shakespearean world's equivalent of the cure to cancer, insights that never would have existed had she chosen to half-heartedly declare her major as Theoretical Physics as a sophomore all those years ago. It's time to change the conversation of gender disparity to include the arts and humanities. There is no doubt that there still exists in this world a shameful gender bias, but society should not try to combat the bias in one field by disparaging those who enjoy the other.

The Relationship Between the Ruler and the Ruled:
A Mutually Obligating Agreement
Ibrahim bin Ali Alwazir
The term "Social Contract" refers to a state of existence in which men are assumed to have surrendered living as free and independent individuals in nature, and chosen a communally agreed form of social organization. This notion can be traced back to the time of the ancient Greeks, yet it only became an important argument in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) was one of the most important thinkers who expounded the theory of social contract. What is significant for us is that to Rousseau, social contract was only an assumption and ideal; whereas, Islam - eleven centuries before Rousseau - introduced the same concept and translated it into a living workable reality. "Al-Bay'ah" is the Arabic term for social contract.
"Al-Bay'ah" literally means a commercial transaction. Hence, it brings to mind, by free association, the meaning of the act of a free-will transaction between two or more parties where each becomes reciprocally obligated to the other. It follows from that if one party does not fulfil its obligation, the whole transaction is then rendered void and unbinding to the other party or parties. According to the Islamic canon law, a would-be ruler has to be voted for according to the bay'ah. This means that he should be chosen by a process of free consultation among the people or their representatives; and according to the conditions set by the majority of them. The first and foremost of such conditions is the adherence to the constitution - the Quran. Only then does he become entitled to the people's obedience and support.
At the conclusion of the bay'ah, the ruler shakes hands with the people's representatives; which symbolizes his acceptance of the responsibilities entrusted to him. The same procedure of the bay'ah is to be followed all over the nation's provinces between the inhabitants of such provinces and the administrators whom the elected ruler delegates to govern the provinces on his behalf. It is important to indicate that if the ruler rules unjustly or abuses his powers, he would be then breaching the bay'ah; and the people then have the right to rise up against him and even to impeach him. In fact, the tradition of the Zaydi school of "Fiqh" and thought makes it imperative to rise up to overthrow a deviant and unjust ruler. Zaydism - committed to justice on earth, among other things - has had a long history of fighting against injustice. It started after the end of the rightly-guided Caliphate and the beginning of the Umayyad dynasty, when Al-Hussein and the committed Muslims took to revolt against Mu'awiya; which resulted in the tragic and bloody murder of Al-Hussein. Thus thirty years after the Prophet's (PBUH) death, rulership no longer adhered to the Quranic principles of shura (communal consultation) and bay'ah (voting); rather, it retrogressed to pre-Islamic forms of kingship. Muslims, since the Umayyads down to the present time, have been suffering under rulerships that are absolutist, tyrannical, and anti-Islamic. Islam is innocent of such unjust systems which falsely claim to be Islamic. For the Quran commands every Muslim to work for the realization of the call of all prophets - justice.
"We sent aforetime our messengers with Clear Signs, and sent down with them the Book of the Balance [of Right and Wrong], that men may stand forth in justice." [Quran 57:25]
Communal Consultation is the Method of Decision-Making
And the purpose is "to bend he who is the first entrusted with responsibility to conformity with justice."
After the bay'ah is completed, the elected ruler should set forth to perform his duties. Yet, he shall do so according to a process of mutual consultation with those in authority from among the people. In fact, this procedure is a basic Quranic principle which ought to characterize not only the relationship between the ruler and ruled, but also all aspects of conduct of the believers in the Muslim community. A special verse on that matter was revealed in the Quran; and was entitled Ash-Shura: "Those who respond to their Lord, and establish regular prayer; who [conduct] their affairs by mutual consultation." [Quran 42:38]
The implementation of the principle of communal consultation during the rightly-guided Caliphate took the form of public discussion in the mosque. Whenever an important issue came to be, the Mu'addin (announcer of prayer) would call upon the Muslims to gather for a group prayer. (The consultation procedure had its own characteristic call which was: "group prayer; group prayer"). Then all men and women would hasten to the mosque. The Caliph would present the issue or issues and take the people's opinion. It is important to indicate here that the democracy of the mosque in Al-Madina included women and slaves, unlike the Athenian democracy which excluded them.
The Islamic democracy of the mosque proved itself in principle and practice. Al-Imam Ali's (PBUH), dictum: "I have no authority without your support," indicates the respect of the political rights of the people. On the practical plane, the following two incidents illustrate such respect.
It was reported that after Abu Bakr, the first Caliph, was elected, he set out to the market to earn a living to support his family. He was then seen by one of the Companions; and the following dialogue ensued between the two:
Companion: To where are you heading?
Abu Bakr: To the market to earn a living.
Companion: You are already working for the Muslims!
Abu Bakr: How then can I feed my children?
Companion: Call upon the Muslims to get together and present the matter to them.
That Companion was one of those who were schooled by the Prophet (PBUH). He learned that people, and not individuals, are the legitimate source of power. Thus he announced the Shura call for prayer. When the people gathered in the mosque, Abu Bakr addressed them: "I used to work to support my children, now I work for you. So, appropriate for me from the treasury whatever you agree upon for my needs." The Muslims consulted among themselves and decided to give him wages enough to secure his needs.
The other incident is very well known in Islamic history. It was when Omar ibn Al-Khattab, the second Caliph, proposed that a limit be set regarding women's dowries. A woman then stood up to him and brought to his attention that his proposal goes against a Quranic text. Omar did not hesitate to admit that he was in error and that she was correct.
All that indicates that the supreme ideal which the Islamic political system aims to pursue and, indeed, realized during the rightly-guided Caliphate is justice. This follows naturally since Islamic rulership rests its legitimacy on the Quranic law where justice is the decisive criterion. The Quran abounds with verses that command justice and forbid injustice. It is significant that there is no mention whatsoever in the Quran that a ruler should rule "over" people; rather it addresses those who rule, or judge, or arbitrate, and that they should do so not "over" people but "between" them. A ruler, like a judge, should aim at justice - which was the aim of all the Prophet's missions.
This indicates the judicial nature of the Islamic rulership. It is also the reason why all are equal before the Islamic law - no impunities for certain social classes or exemptions for certain professions. Even a ruler in Islam is as subject to the law as the ruled.
It is clear from the above presentation that Islam made significant contributions to the progress of mankind on all planes: ethical, spiritual, and practical… Yet the image of Islam is still misunderstood and distorted in the Western world. The lack of objectivity in presenting Islam in the West is a legacy of the Crusades. Added to this are the inaccuracies of the historical scholarship of the orientalists. It is also unfortunate that the decadence of the state of affairs in the Muslim world has contributed to the West's negative perception of Islam. However, as much as Christianity as a religion should not be judged by how the Christian world is today, the same is true for Islam. Islam should be viewed in the light of its moral and spiritual precepts and how they have contributed to the dignity and the welfare of the mass of mankind. In the Outline of History, H.G. Wells points out that:
Islam prevailed because it was the best social and political order the time could offer. It prevailed because everywhere it found politically apathetic peoples robbed, oppressed… and it found selfish and unsound governments out of touch with any people at all. It was the broadest, freshest, and cleanest political idea that has yet come into actual activity in the world, and it offered better terms than any other to the mass of mankind. (New York: Doubleday & Co., 1961, Vol. II, p. 493).

Comic Book Day: The Best and Worst Adapted Comic Books
We wish some of these titles were disenfranchised…
By all accounts, it's been a great time to be a comic book fan and this summer has been something of a ticker tape parade for longtime comics readers who finally got the chance to see many of their beloved titles hit the big screen. From Man of Steel to The Wolverine to 2 Guns to Kick-Ass 2 to Iron Man 3 to…well, you get the idea. Heck, half the time, the average theatergoer had no idea that it was a comic book adaptation they were watching! But what about the flip side of that coin, when the powers that be decide to turn a popular film or TV franchise into a comic book?
Today, we answer that question and celebrate the good, the bad and the ugly of the world of adapted comic books. Who would have guessed that Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure would be ripe for the printed page? Who could have known that adapting the Transformers movie script rather than the franchise's rich history could be such a pain in the servos? Well, we did all the hard work for you and now we've come up with our definitive list of our 5 best and worst adapted comic books for your perusing pleasure.
In the interest of fairness, we have to admit that some of our "worst" picks fall under that "so bad it's good" category occupied by films like Rad or TV fare like Sharknado. That being said, read them at your own peril and form your own opinions! Do you agree with our list? Did we miss anything? Leave a comment or let us know on Facebook, Twitter and Google+!

What's e-mail forwarding? Just how does it work? In which instances is it especially handy?
When you've got an e-mail and you enable forwarding for it, all of the incoming e-mails will be sent to a third-party mailbox that you choose. The email sender won't be aware of this and he will send the email just to the initial address. This feature is useful if you have several web sites, each with a different e-mail address for contact, for instance. By forwarding all e-mails to just one e-mail address, it will be easier for you to monitor and never miss an e-mail message as you have forgotten to check a specific email. In case you run a company, you'll be able to use this feature to monitor the communication received by different divisions. A further benefit is the fact that you can use an official address for various reasons, let's say admin@your-domain.com, and you can get all of the messages sent to it in your personal email address. It's also possible to forward e-mail messages from a single email address to numerous ones, if a number of people needs to be involved in the email conversation.
The Hepsia Control Panel, which is provided with all our shared hosting plans, will allow you to forward any email inside the account to an alternative one with ease. This can be done either throughout the creation of a new email address or at any time later if you choose that you will need this function. During the process, you will be able to decide if you prefer a copy of the messages to be maintained on the server. In this way, you'll have a backup and you'll prevent the possibility to lose an email if the forwarding is to an outside address, which can be temporarily inaccessible. This feature can be enabled and deactivated at any time, and when you use emails for important matters, it is advisable to use it, because no data of the emails will be maintained on the server in case the option is not active. If you decide that you do not need forwarding any more, it will take a mouse click to deactivate it.
Forwarding an e mail address hosted in our system will be very straightforward in case you have a semi-dedicated server package with us and will also not take you more than a few mouse clicks to set up. This can be done from the Emails part of the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel and you will be able to keep track of the email addresses which are being forwarded and where your e-mails are going to with a glance. The feature can be activated and deactivated for any of the mailboxes inside your account. You can also enable or disable a helpful option we provide - a copy of the messages being sent through our system can remain on the server. This way, you will always have a copy of your incoming email messages and you will not need to concern yourself with losing any information. If you have this option disabled, you risk losing e-mails if there is a problem with the remote email address.

World Harmony Run in Wenatchee June 26
Written on Jun 20th, 2012 by Steve, Category News, Training
A torch running relay that is traveling around the United States will pass through Wenatchee on June 26.
The World Harmony Run is slated to pass through Wenatchee the morning of June 26.
The World Harmony Run, which aims to bridge social and cultural barriers and promote goodwill, is in the midst of a 50-state, 10,000-mile journey that is slated to end in mid-August in New York City.
Runners are slated to make it to Walla Walla Point Park at approximately 10:50 a.m. this coming Tuesday, June 26. Wenatchee officials — including ones from the city, Wenatchee Downtown Association and RunWenatchee — will be on hand to greet them at the park's picnic shelter No. 2.
The first World Harmony Run was held in 1987. Since then, more than 5 million people have participated in some fashion.
Last year's run attracted plenty of support from kids and other residents.
The event was inspired by philosopher, artist and athlete Sri Chinmoy, who saw it as a way to give citizens a way to express their own hopes and dreams for a more harmonious world.
Other relay runs are currently going on in more than 100 nations around the world.

There's not a ton of information out there on how to handle computed columns in EF. It turns out it is pretty straightforward if you know what to do.
You should know that if possible, try to keep "computed" values in your application. This is my opinion from an ease of use POV, not a design POV. I say it because unless you really need a computed column, you could just as easily create a read-only property that EF ignores.
However, in some cases, a computed column is a viable option such as when you need to sort (on the database-side) against a computed value. That was my own reason for using a computed.
We've told EF to ignore our property and treat it as a computed column. Now how do we actually create the column? Well, what I did previous to EF Migrations was to just do it all manually through SQL Management Studio. This is entirely OK to do, you just need to make sure you save the script somewhere or remember to do it anytime you create a new database for your application.
That approach worked fine for me, since I use Schema Compare (or used to!) to migrate my database between environments.
Now that EF 4.3 has been released, we can all enjoy the benefit of Database Migrations. What I like about this approach is that it's very deliberate and discoverable. I could clone my repository onto a new PC and run the Update-Database command to do everything, plus now we can migrate backwards if needed. It's excellent!
Take note of the true parameter at the end of the Sql() call. This explicitly tells EF not to include the statement in the migration transaction. If you don't do this, SQL Server will complain that the CREATE FUNCTION statement must be the only one in the batch.
Now let's scaffold our tear down step. We should drop the column first, drop the function, and then finally re-add the basic column back.
I would take care to make sure the column is re-created using the original schema EF created.
Voila, you should now have a brand spankin' new computed column.


Hardships come in so many forms and many times adults seem to forget how these situations effect children. Karen Hesse, the author of Out of the Dust is able to give us insight on what a child would go through if they had to dust bowl times of Oklahoma with dried farms and in the middle of a drought. Billie Jo is the daughter of a farmer and her courage throughout the book compels you to keep reading and to be hopeful for her.
After Billie Jo loses her mom, brother, and for the most part the use of her hands she keeps going, perhaps out of rage or defiance against her father who will not even look at her because in her eyes it's his fault they were lost. "But as long as I live, no matter how big a hole digs, I can't forgive him that pail of kerosene left by side of the stove" (78). Still even after everything that has happened and still happens she keeps going and even manages to find the strength to come back to her father after she left him. She realized that she left out of fear and had the courage to go back.
However, her greatest act of courage came after she came back home to her father. "I am forgiving him, step by step, for the pail of kerosene. As we walk together, side by side, in sole-deep dust, I am forgiving myself for all the rest." (206). The fact that after everything it seemed that she put herself through and her father put her through she was able to forgive herself and him as well shows great courage.


Reflections on the return of genocide in Europe.
Private Parts The darkness is mounting upward to overthrow the light. It exerts a disintergrating influence. The inferior forces overcome what was once superior and strong. Under the influence of evil so great, nations once intact soon crumble. Neighbor will destroy neighbor. The danger draws close to one's person. Extreme caution is necessary.
Trophy In this dangerous situation one is without help. The others, from whom one might expect aid, do not act. The threat and intrigues of malevolence undermine any sincere intention to assist. In addition, the actions of friends are confounded by the darkness such that they serve only to bind and restrict the good.
The New World Order Hold firm to the strong creative powers and store them up. Look inward to find light and clarity in a daily renewal. Only through such daily self-renewal can one continue at the height of one's powers. During a period when there is a great storing of energy everything depends on the power of the personality. Individuals must rise to change the world.
Palimpsest One pushes upward into an empty city. All obstructions fall away. Things progress with ease. Unhesitatingly one follows this road, in order to further one's success. Seen from without, everything seems to be in the best of order. However, no sure promise of good fortune is added. It is a question of how long such success can last. But it is wise not to yield to such misgivings, instead the point is to profit by the propitiousness of the time.
Endurance Pushing up in darkness it furthers one to be unremittingly persevering but not in blind impulse, rather one must be conscientious and consistent. What is willed is done. The reason for success is not an earthly but a transcendental one. The favorableness of the conditions comes from the invisible world; we must make the most of them, however, through work. The heaping up of small things is steady, imperceptible progress.
What is it that hears? Pushing upwards in darkness, at the top is decrease and not wealth. When one can no longer distinguish things one must hold fast that perseverance which lies below consciousness, in order not to lose one's way. Decrease combined with sincerity brings good fortune, the instincts must be curbed by restriction. By this decrease of the lower powers of the psyche, the higher aspects of the soul are enriched. When decrease has reached its goal, flowering is sure to begin.

Creating Videos that Stop the Scroll – Lauren Schwartz
https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/themarketingagents/EP416_Schwartz_AOC.mp3
If you're looking to increase engagement and get viewers on social to "stop the scroll", then video is where you need to be focusing your marketing efforts. According to Lauren Schwartz of The Loft 325, any experience level can create videos, and all you need is a smartphone and to follow a few of her simple suggestions for creating eye-catching creatives that make your product stand out online.
Lauren: Thanks for having me.
Rich: Now, Lauren, you're obviously passionate about creative work. But what led you to focus on video?
Lauren: Yeah. I mean, so the biggest thing that led me to focus on video was obviously the change in everything that's video. I mean, really like all of social media has really kind of had that push over to video and video creatives. And so it just naturally kind of decided to kind of go that way. So that's, I guess really how I got kind of into it was just kind of how everything evolved, really.
Rich: All right. I hear from a lot of marketers and business owners that video is time consuming, and it's expensive, and it's just a lot of work. That there's a barrier to entry here. What do you say to people when you hear similar concerns?
Lauren: I think especially with video, yes, it can be really time-consuming. But as far as the expense goes, I mean, it depends on what you're looking for. I think if you're looking for a high production video shoot, then yes. Obviously, that's very expensive. But if you're just kind of looking for that natural, UGC or organic-type content, then really that's not that expensive, but it is very effective. And it is something that I think, especially in ad creatives, you should definitely have. So it just kind of depends on what exactly you're using it for and what you're looking for as the outcome.
Rich: All right. So there's a lot of places we can put our videos these days, but I want to focus on Facebook ads at least to start. What are some of the considerations we should have when creating a video that's meant to go into a Facebook ad?
Lauren: So I think for what I use it specifically for is, obviously it's product based. So I work with a lot of e-commerce businesses. So obviously in video, you have to have something that's going to grab someone to someone's attention within the first second of the video. Whether it's copy, whether it's a quick transition, anything really. Whatever's going to get someone to stop in the feed is what is going to be super beneficial for your brand and your product. And then again, just making sure that you're showing your product within the first three seconds. So, I think when working in Facebook specifically, those are kind of the things that you definitely need to think about.
Rich: So I know you've worked with a number of different brands in the past. What are some examples of things that you've done in the past to really get people to stop the scroll?
Lauren: Yeah. I mean, for me it's all about trying to figure out what's going to be that hook or what's going to get you to stop the scroll. And sometimes it's really just large text that kind of pops up. That's basically like it's simple, but as you're scrolling through your feed, if it just kind of like abruptly stops you, then you're like, "Oh, what's that?" You know, sometimes it could just be like a quick transition, someone kind of doing something really fast in front of you. I think just when you think about the monotony of your feed and what is normally in it, just trying to think outside of that to get someone to stop is what could be really beneficial. But most of the time it's just something that's like a quick transition or some big text, really.
Rich: Alright. So when you're working with a client and they've got an e-commerce product, but they're interested in doing some videos. What are some of the first steps that you do with them? What are the first steps that anybody should do if they're starting to create video for a product?
Lauren: I think the biggest thing is making sure that you understand what your features and your benefits are. I think it's so different. And I think a lot of times brands combine them together, which is actually like, as a business owner, you are so close to the brand that sometimes it just everything kind of melds together. And so I think just making sure that you're really breaking out the features and the benefits to your consumers. And breaking it down in such an easy digestible way is probably the biggest thing I think that you should definitely do when you're starting to think about video creative, because that's just going to help you explain and shoot your video much better.
Rich: How about things like gathering assets or writing a script? How do those elements fit in when you're working with clients?
Lauren: Yeah, so that, I mean, that is obviously a part of it, too. When working with user generated content or content creators, yes, the biggest thing that I make sure to do is write a script for them and not something that they have to read verbatim. When we write scripts, we write scripts in kind of bullet pointed areas. So really it just gives the creator ways that they can talk about the product, but in a natural way. So they don't have to feel like they're reading it and then it sounds obviously scripted. So just making sure that you can still get the points across that you want to get across, but making it just come naturally from their tone of voice.
Rich: All right. And you know, this is kind of a hook, and I've heard you call these things 'hooks'. Are there any other things that we could take into consideration when it comes to Facebook ads? Like I know that when it comes to Facebook ads and building an audience, like if they watch a certain amount of a video, then Facebook will put them into an audience. Are there certain other things post after that hook that you think about in terms of timing and showing product or getting them to do something as you created, or is it really only about getting them to stop that scroll at the beginning?
Lauren: Yeah. I mean, again, everyone always talks – especially in this industry – everyone's always like 'the hook, the hook', like the first three seconds. But like you said, after you've gotten them to stop, now you actually have to explain what your product is, and you have to get them to click. So I may have stopped you, but if my ad doesn't do a good job of explaining anything or explaining what the product is or the benefits, then like you could just scroll right past it. So really the next biggest thing is getting them to click into the ad in order to go to the page that you want them to purchase from. So the click rate is obviously super huge. Again, it's great to get them to stop, but if you're not doing the rest of the job with the ad, then really, you've kind of just wasted your time with the ad.
Rich: You often recommend that we have some strong call to action to get them to click into the video, or is it just the assumption that everybody knows that they should click on the video to get more information?
Lauren: I mean, I think we live in a world where people now understand that you have to click. I mean, obviously like with the native buttons of the 'shop now' and everything, like that's built into pretty much all of the sponsored posts. So I don't necessarily think you have to have a call to action. I mean, it's just an added benefit. Obviously, I still always add it to be in the ad, but I don't necessarily think you need it. Because I think sometimes getting away from the end card of the 'shop now' or 'swipe up', again, it's just one of those things people inherently know to do that and it makes it look more natural and organic when you don't have those things on there. So I, I feel like it can kind of go either way, really.
Rich: Now on Facebook, we can obviously have cold audiences. People who don't know our brand at all, but we've identified them because they fit a certain demographic or psychographic. And then we have warm audiences. Maybe they've been to our website, joined our email list, or liked our page, or watched a previous video. And we can track them because of that. Do you have different approaches with your clients based on whether they're targeting cold and warm audiences? And if you do, what are some of the things that you put into a cold audience versus a warm audience video?
Lauren: Yeah. So obviously with cold audiences, again, I think it's just breaking down how the product is going to benefit you as a person. So really kind of diving into those points when you're talking about value props. And really just like making the product seem to be the hero really. So giving the information to the audience, if I've never heard of you, what exactly do you do? Bring it, cut it down so that it's easy and simple enough for a child to understand. I think that's another big thing is that you have to make it super easy to understand and really just hitting on those points and really kind of driving in those value props. Because really, especially nowadays, people don't go on first click anymore. It's obviously you get them interested with the prospecting, but then with remarketing, then you can kind of dive more into more of the features and benefits. You can dive into reviews, you can go into any sort of PR articles that you've had or testimonials, stuff like that. I think it's just again, talking about your brand, you can get them to be interested in it at the beginning and start to kind of lead in with those features and benefits. And then you could really hit them again with retargeting.
Rich: All right. That's awesome. So you had mentioned before, you want to get people to click on these videos. Ultimately, the goal is to sell product, right? This is we're talking about e-commerce, but along those ways, do you have clients who have different KPIs? Is there different types of videos or brand awareness, or sometimes is it just about getting them on a mailing list so that we can continue to send them more stuff? Or is it just about getting them to like a page? Do you do any of that kind of stuff? And do you take a different approach when you're creating videos that maybe serve a different need?
Lauren: Yeah, for sure. I have some clients obviously, they're really, we want to get them to click. We want them to purchase the product. Especially coming up right now for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, we are doing email capture kind of lead generation. Because really we want you to sign up at the beginning so that you could be in for early bird discount type stuff. So we have to kind of think of an approach of getting them to actually sign up for an email. Which that can be challenging because a lot of people get so many emails that it's like, I don't want to get another email. But I think it just kind of depends on the direction that you're wanting to go.
But yes, we definitely have to come up with a completely new strategy when you're trying to do either lead gen or brand awareness or anything like that, because really for those types of products, it's like you're selling it, but you're also just trying to be more informative about the product and the brand and whatnot.
Rich: Yeah. Sounds good. Now obviously Instagram is owned by Facebook. We're putting our Instagram ads directly into the Facebook Business Manager. Should you create different versions for Facebook and Instagram? Are there any variances between them, or can we basically just put the same video up to both places?
Lauren: Yeah. I mean, I definitely do have a little bit of a different approach. Obviously, it's feed version versus 9×16. For Instagram, honestly, I try to make all ads look very organic to the feed. So Facebook and Instagram can technically, since they are like the same thing, you can put those two together to make them kind of work, and just obviously break them down in the different formats. But yeah, I mean, definitely I think you can come up with the same approach, but I think just making things look more native or inorganic to the feed is probably the best thing that you could do for both platforms.
Rich: So that makes me think that you might've already answered this question, but obviously YouTube is another opportunity for us to be advertising our products and our services. Would you recommend a different approach for YouTube, and maybe what you would do there versus what you would do selling the same product on Facebook?
Lauren: Yeah, so YouTube is a tough one. I've had success with some clients, and then I've had to test out a bunch of different things. I am seeing on YouTube a lot of the same sort of tactics from Facebook and Instagram with user-generated content and even showing the product within the first three seconds.
But I think on YouTube, obviously again, it's a different platform. You have to shoot wide, and that can be a challenge because now everyone is shooting vertically, and so how do you make your vertical ads fit into your YouTube ads? Which again, that has been a challenge, but I think there are ways around it. You just have to figure out you have more space to fill and now you could potentially put more information in there. But I am seeing a lot of the same things. It's just thinking about the format where it's horizontal instead of vertical, and how do you fill that space and how do you basically talk about it the same way?
Rich: All right. Now Facebook Business Manager, I know a lot of people are excited because they rolled out this Creator Studio. I think it has been around about a year now, although I was a little late to the party. Now the idea here is to put the necessary creative tools in the hands of everybody. But as a creative professional, I'm curious about your opinion. What do you think about all of this?
Lauren: I mean, it's tough. I get it and I think it's great. I think that obviously everyone should be able to access these things. There are a lot of small businesses out there who just need to get started and they need a tool in order to do that. But the difference, I think, with having the Creator Studio and then understanding paid social, are two very different things. Just because you have that access, doesn't mean that you're going to understand how to make people convert. And so there are things that you need to understand. And again, it's great to have that tool. But personally, there's more to it than just giving someone a tool and saying, "Here, design an ad", it's going to work. Like, there is a lot of thought and strategy that goes into it.
Rich: Yeah. And I completely agree. And of course, there's going to be some people who find this tool and they start killing it. But I think, and of course I'm also biased because I run a creative agency, but part of it is you start to see that all these ads start to look the same because there's only so many templates. I remember the first time, I think it was at an app called Animoto, and the first time I saw Animoto I'm like, oh my that's the most brilliant thing I've ever seen. And then like two weeks later, I had seen people using it to death and I'm like, okay, I'm tired of this already. And I think that that fortunately is what's happening, or what will happen, with Creator Studio. And again, I'm always about standing out online, and if you're using the same tool in the same templates and maybe even the same stock photography and videography that other people are using, you're going to end up starting to look like everybody else.
Lauren: I 100% agree. And again, I think it's great. But as a designer and someone who wants to make noise for your brands, I definitely think you are going to look the same.
Rich: So admittedly we're biased, but we're telling you our honest beliefs. That if you want to stand out, then you hire a professional -internally or externally – but get somebody who this is their life and this is their passion.
So along the same lines, there's a lot of stock video out there. Some really good, some really terrible. What do you think about using stock video versus having somebody create video specifically for you?
Lauren: Yeah, I mean, again, I will be honest. I've used some stock photo or some video in my ads, but it's mostly just for either background or small snippets. It's not necessarily for the entire. And really, if you're selling a product and you're selling your brand, you should just shoot the video. It's really not that hard, especially with the developments of the iPhone camera, video is awesome on your camera, and it doesn't take that long to do. And I just don't think you need to, you know, why have these generic videos when you can just go create your own really.
Rich: And you bring up a good point, too. Your work is primarily in the e-commerce world, where people are selling a physical product, and there's obviously not going to be stock photography about a specific product that your client is bringing to you. So in those cases, and I feel similar, like there's a place for stock photography, but it's not on the homepage of your website or in your primary social branding. So, let's talk about that for a second. Because obviously e-commerce is where your bread and butter is, but if you're selling services and you want to do video ads, do you have any advice for those of who are more in that lead gen/services verticals, versus somebody who just has a product?
Lauren: Yeah. I mean, I think if you could just think of it as the person is the product, really. I mean, I think obviously you don't have a physical product that you could showcase, but you're really selling yourself as the product. And so you're really selling your services and understanding for people who do need to sell that stuff, why they should purchase your services or why they should work with you or whatever. So I mean, really, I think you could potentially look at it as the same thing, even if you're getting in front of a camera to talk about it. You're talking about yourself and what you offer, and how that's going to benefit someone's life. So I feel like you could do it in the same sort of vertical, really.
Rich: Alright. What are some of the mistakes that businesses are still making with video online that you wish they would stop?
Lauren: Yeah. It's funny. Again, I still see a lot of mistakes, but I think the biggest thing for me is that a lot of people, if they do invest in these content creators, they specifically pick ones that could work for their brand. I do think that's one area where, again, you're not showing the product within the first three seconds. That's one thing.
Not having captions, that's still to me is crazy. Even if you shot a video on Instagram Stories, you can create captions now. And on mobile, when you think about it, most people are on their phone looking at this stuff. And if you don't have any sort of captions or callouts, you're missing a huge opportunity. So I definitely think that that's something that a lot of brands are still doing that I don't understand why when it's so easy to have now.
Rich: All right. Now, if I understand your business, you're focused entirely on the creative side. You actually worked with some other agencies who then handle the whole bidding and stuff like that. Am I getting that correct? So for those agencies, and also for individual companies that have an e-commerce product and might want to reach out to learn a little bit more or find out if you're a good fit, where can we send them online?
Lauren: Yeah. So my company is theloft352.com. And then my Instagram handle is @theloft325. So, anything @theloft325, you can find me.
Rich: Awesome. And we'll have those links in the show notes, as always. Lauren, and this has been great. I really appreciate you coming on and giving us some great advice around creating videos for Facebook ads and beyond. Thanks so much.
Lauren: Yeah. Thank you so much, Rich.

Hi Luis, thank you for following up. I followed the procedure described in the post you mentioned and it solved my issue. Thank you for your support!
Switching off Hummingbird on the site in questions permanently removes the mixed content error.
Hi Panos You were right, I am on a multisite installation. I am using a plugin that allows to add code per site, and as Marketpress is not activated on all sites, I chose this way to implement the workaround. Thanks again for your help!
I just noticed something else that might be related: I use this plugin to import users. Normally, the upload section displays the roles available to assign to imported users. But currently no roles are displayed at all. Looks like the information which roles are available is lost, probably explaining why no admin bars are being displayed...?

Topic: Appreciation
Deepening recognition's impact with Nick Rosenthal
Image Component needs to be configured.
Welcome to The Work Place, where we talk about the cultures we work in, and how to make them better for everyone. I'm Andrew Scarcella.
This episode, we're talking with Nick Rosenthal from Capital One about how they're adapting to new challenges, embracing new technologies, and using recognition to keep their people connected and their culture human.
Join us after the interview for Tangible Takeaways, where we'll talk about the ideas and actions we can take with us and implement our own workplace cultures.
Nick Rosenthal is a Senior Associate in HR Compensation at Capital One. An 18 year veteran, Nick's work on the Total Rewards team building and promoting strategies for recognition and appreciation have influenced and improved the culture of the international bank over the years, turning it into the kind of workplace people all over the world want to be a part of.
Nick was interviewed by our former Executive Producer and current Executive Producer in exile, Katie Clifford, so I'll just say that we wanted to talk with Nick because Capital One has had a unique and successful journey in creating their workplace culture. And there's really nothing like listening to someone who's on the frontline, doing the day to day work of shaping an intentional, global culture.
TANGIBLE TAKEAWAYS
Now it's time for tangible takeaways, where we take big ideas out to the local art house cinema for a midnight screening of a black and white classic, stopping at the concession stand for necessaries, nachos with extra cheese and jalapenos, large popcorn extra butter light salt, and two medium cokes—no ice—before expertly side-shuffling into the seats our friend saved: center row, 2/3rds back, just managing to turn our cellphones to silent as the lurid, morally ambiguous murder mystery begins to unfold on the big screen.
1. The first is that recognition doesn't have to be for a major accomplishment or milestone. In fact, recognising someone for the work they do every day can be even more meaningful because it comes from a place of familiarity and friendship. Whether it takes 5 minutes or 5 seconds, showing someone that you really see them and the work they do every day can create a lasting impression in our minds that we are valued for everything we do, not just the breakthroughs.
2. The second is that if you're struggling to find the right words to recognise someone, don't put it off until you've had a chance to polish and perfect your words of gratitude. If all other words fail you, simply say "thank you." These two words can have an oversized impact on people and how they connect to their work.
3. The third is that from time to time, it's important to recognise that person who keeps us going day after day, persevering through thick and thin to keep our heads above water while carrying all of our personal baggage. I'm talking, of course, about ourselves. Showing ourselves gratitude for the work we do and the tenacity with which we do it can help restore our vitality and give us a break from the constant self-judgement that many of us can't help but levy against ourselves. So go ahead, give yourself a high-five right now as a token of gratitude for all you do.

Anatomy, Shoulder and Upper Limb, Clavicle
Article Author:

Matthew Varacallo
PubMed Link:
The clavicle is a sigmoid-shaped long bone with a convex surface along its medial end when observed from cephalad position. It serves as a connection between the axial and appendicular skeleton in conjunction with the scapula, and each of these structures forms the pectoral girdle.[1] Though not as large as other supporting structures in the body, clavicular attachments allow for significant function and range of motion of the upper extremity as well as protection of neurovascular structures posteriorly. Each part of this long bone has a purpose in regards to its attachments that affects the overall physiology of the pectoral girdle.
Medially, the clavicle articulates with the manubrial portion of the sternum, forming the sternoclavicular joint (SC joint). This joint, surrounded by a fibrous capsule, contains an intra-articular disc in between the clavicle and the sternum. Superiorly, the interclavicular ligament connects the ipsilateral and contralateral clavicle, together providing further stability.[2]
Laterally, the clavicle articulates with the acromion, forming the acromioclavicular ligament (AC joint). The surrounding area provides an attachment for the joint capsule of the shoulder. This joint, like the SC joint, is also lined by fibrocartilage and contains an intra-articular disc. The three main ligaments to support this joint are the AC ligament, the coracoclavicular ligament (CC), and the coracoacromial ligament (CA).[3]
The actual shaft of the clavicle is clinically divided into two parts clinically: medial two-thirds and lateral third. These locations are used to properly identify where muscles are attached. The medial two-thirds has an attachment site for the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle and subclavius muscle along the subclavian groove superiorly and inferiorly, respectively. The anterior surface is an attachment for the pectoralis major and the posterior for the sternohyoid muscle. The costal tuberosity, which is where the costoclavicular ligament inserts and supports the SC joint, is also found on the inferior surface.[4] The lateral third of the clavicle serves as attachments for the deltoid and trapezius muscles anteriorly and posteriorly, respectively. Inferiorly the conoid and trapezoid components of the CC ligament provide stability between the clavicle and the coracoid process of the scapula.
The clavicle happens to be one of the most commonly fractured bones in the human body; fracture can be as a result of direct contact or force transmission from falling onto an outstretched hand. Depending on the level of displacement of the fracture, surgery may be indicated, and proper management is determined on an individual basis due to differentiating factors surrounding such injury.
Although small, the clavicle allows for optimal function of the upper extremity as well as protects the upper extremity by dispersing the amount of force transmitted from direct contact. The positioning of the clavicle also keeps the extremity far enough away from the thorax, allowing for the range of motion (ROM) of the shoulder to be unimpeded. Its strut-like mechanics allow the scapula to glide smoothly along the posterior wall which is critical for full upper extremity motion.[5] The anatomical location also protects neurovascular structures, including the brachial plexus, subclavian artery, and subclavian vein which, if disrupted, would greatly increase morbidity.[6]
The clavicle, interestingly, is the first bone to begin ossification during embryologic development and is a derivative of the lateral mesoderm. The medial and lateral ends of the clavicle undergo different processes of ossification. The medial end undergoes formation via endochondral ossification. Endochondral ossification of a bony structure is preceded by a cartilaginous model constructed by chondrocytes before mineralization and ossification. The lateral end, on the contrary, forms via intramembranous ossification which constitutes woven bone formed directly without cartilage. In both cases, the structure is remodeled in a way that the result is lamellar bone. Despite being one of the first bones to begin ossification, it is one of the last to complete this process, and growth plates may not close until between the twentieth to twenty-fifth year of life.[7][8]
Blood Supply and Lymphatics
Although classified as a long bone, the clavicle (in most cases) does not have a medullary cavity like its long bone counterparts. Previous studies have shown periosteal arterial blood supply to the bony structure but no central nutrient artery (a.). The suprascapular a., thoracoacromial a., and the internal thoracic a. (mammalian a.) have all been found to provide arterial supply to the clavicle.[9]
Controversy surrounds the primary sensory innervation of the clavicle. Anesthetizing studies following clavicular fracture have suggested there may be involvement individually or in a combination of the supraclavicular nerve (n.), subclavian n., and long thoracic/suprascapular n.[10] A common anatomical variation is a perforating branch of the supraclavicular n. that passes in the superior surface of the clavicle. Post-mortem studies have revealed insertion of the nerve in bony tunnels or grooves that would prove susceptible to injury and may explain entrapment neuropathy following clavicular fracture.[11]
The clavicle has multiple attachments for musculature that should be considered anatomically.
Superior surface: The anterior deltoid originates on the anterior aspect and assists in flexion of the shoulder while one of the insertion sites for the trapezius muscle is located at the posterior aspect. The trapezius predominantly is responsible for stabilizing the scapula.[12]
inferior surface: The subclavius muscle resides in the subclavian groove of the clavicle and functions to depress the shoulder as well as pull the clavicle anteroinferiorly. The coracoacromial ligament is located laterally and provides support from the coracoid residing below. The medial component of the CA ligament is the conoid ligament which inserts onto the conoid tubercle, and the lateral component is the trapezoid ligament which inserts onto the trapezoid line.
Anterior surface: The clavicular part of the pectoralis major muscle originates from the medial clavicle anteriorly. The clavicular head contributes to flexion, horizontal adduction, and inward rotation of the humerus.
Posterior surface: As mentioned, the trapezius inserts posterosuperior on the clavicle. The clavicular head of the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) also has a similar location but is found along the medial third of the clavicle. The SCM, when contracting alone, causes the head to rotate to the opposite side and laterally side bend ipsilaterally. When both SCM contract, this causes head flexion.
The sternohyoid muscle has fibers originating inferomedially along the posterior surface of the clavicle in addition to the manubrium and posterior sternoclavicular ligament. Contraction of the sternohyoid causes hyoid bone depression.
Physiologic Variants
Compared to other long bones, the clavicle has shown to exhibit varying features. Thickness and length can both vary depending on the sex, with males having longer and thicker bone morphology than females. Males also have a greater degree of curvature in the bone compared to females. Cadaveric studies also revealed left clavicles were substantially longer than the contralateral.[13] A rare, but clinically relevant genetic disease, cleidocranial dysplasia, can present with absent or partially absent clavicles bilaterally. Dental abnormalities, delayed fontanel closure, and cranial sutures that have failed to fuse are other features that can be present in this disease.[14]
Surgical Considerations
One of the most common fractures to occur is a clavicular fracture, more typically in the middle third of the bone. While most medial and lateral fractures can be managed non-operatively if they remain stable, mid-shaft fractures can potentially have a higher degree of displacement with an increased incidence of malunion or non-union. Depending on the displacement and possible shortening of the involved fragments, surgery may be warranted. Additionally, neurovascular compromise may also be an indication for operative management. Pediatric injury typically occurs in physeal regions of the clavicle, and due to the healing potential of these regions, non-operative treatment can be pursued.[15]
Operative management has shown to improve short-term functional outcomes; however, long-term shoulder function difference compared to non-operative management has proven unremarkable. Open reduction with internal fixation using plate and screws as well as intramedullary nails have been used to reduce these fractures.[16] Increased patient satisfaction and earlier return to physical activity have been seen with surgical management when compared to the non-operative approach. Cost-effectiveness was also surprisingly advantageous for operative patients. Current recommendations suggest a patient-tailored approach when considering surgery which may involve multiple parameters.[17]
Clinical Significance
The mid-clavicular line is a landmark on the clavicle that is used for multiple reasons. This landmark provides a general location for cardiac apex beat as well as appreciating the liver size. It also can be used to locate the gallbladder which is located between the mid-clavicular line and transpyloric plane. Accurate location assessment can vary, however, depending on the user.[18]
Clavicle fractures are responsible for 10% of all fractures and are the most acute of issues when dealing with injuries of the clavicle.[19] Depending on comminution, displacement, and shortening, surgery may be warranted. The level of superior displacement of the medial fragment seen in midshaft fractures may be due to SCM tension leading to further instability. The injury typically occurs due to trauma, such as falling directly on the shoulder laterally in 87% of cases. The injury also may be a result of falling outward onto an outstretched hand or due to contact directed medially onto the clavicle.[19]
AC joint (ACJ) dislocation is common in contact sports and represents 9% of all traumatic shoulder girdle injuries [20]. The joint injury can be appreciated via X-ray imaging and is classified into six types. The injury severity increases with injury type and is dependent on the amount of gapping between acromioclavicular articulation.[21]
Type I and II injuries are managed nonoperatively. The former manifest solely as ACJ tenderness but no instability. Type II injuries exhibit horizontal instability only, as the ACJ is disrupted and coracoclavicular distance is increased by less than 25% compared to the contralateral extremity.
Type III injuries are often managed nonoperatively as well, albeit slightly more controversial. For example, as surgical techniques have improved over the years, a survey of 28 Major League Baseball team orthopedic surgeons resulted in 72% (20/28) reporting nonoperative treatment as the preferred management modality [22]. Interestingly enough, the aforementioned study from 2018 closely echoed the previous classic report 20 years earlier from McFarland and colleagues, when 69% of team physicians reported favoring nonoperative management of type III AC separations [23]. Thirty years earlier, however, there was an overwhelming preference for treating acute, complete ACJ separation with surgical repair. A study from the 1970s by Powers and Bach consisted of a163 chairmen-survey of United States orthopedic programs, with 92% advocated for surgical treatment [24].
Type IV injuries through VI are typically managed with surgery. [25] Type IV consists of lateral clavicular posterior displacement through the trapezial fascia. Type V is an increase in CC distance greater than 100% compared to the contralateral. Type VI consists of inferior dislocation of the lateral clavicle (in the subacromial or subcoracoid positions)[25].
AC joint osteoarthritis has multiple etiologies including degenerative, posttraumatic, septic, and inflammatory arthritis. Being the most common disorder of the AC joint, it can be quite debilitating for patients in their daily activities, especially with overhead activity. Clinical management can consist of the use of anti-inflammatory medication, intra-articular injections, and physical therapy. If symptoms persist, some patients may be candidates for AC joint resection.[26]
SC joint injuries can also occur; however, they are less common. Anterior dislocations can occur with an anterolateral loading of the distal clavicle; posterior dislocations occur with posterolateral loading. An even less common mechanism of posterior SC joint dislocation can be due to significant posteriorly directed force to the medial head of the clavicle. Females with ligamentous laxity have a higher incidence of SC joint injuries and can also be associated with trapezius nerve palsy.[27]
