What do trees have to teach us? For the ten students in Erica Marlaine's class at Chase Elementary School, quite a bit! A 2016-17 microgrant awardee and Earthwatch TeachEarth alum, Erica was challenged to create lesson plans around urban forestry in the hopes of engaging her students, all with special needs, in science:
- Where did the lesson activities take place, and who participated?:
Ten students at Chase Street Elementary School (Los Angeles Unified School District), ages 3-4, all with special needs.
- What urban forestry concepts did you teach in the classroom?I taught them how to differentiate different tree species. We talked about deciduous versus evergreen, the leaf shapes of a variety of trees, what trees need to survive, the importance of being kind and gentle with trees, what they liked about trees, who lived in the trees at school, and in other places, and how the students felt about the areas of school where there were trees versus the areas without trees. A variety of methods were used. We looked at different types of trees in books and online, and at the photos from the Operation Resilient Tree packet. Then almost daily, we walked around the school and talked about the different types of trees and which (Chinese Pistache) were on the Resilient Tree list. Our school borders a park, and while we are not permitted to go to the park, we can still see and collect leaves and acorns from the many trees that are on the border fence.
- What hands-on activities did you have your students perform to reinforce these concepts?They collected leaves from various trees at school (and we brought in others from home) and observed them under our microscope (purchased with the microgrant funds).
I created a project where 4 types of leaves were stapled on the left side of a paper and they had to sort through a pile of leaves to find the matching ones and attach them on the right. These were the same leaves they had previously observed under the microscope. This not only taught about trees but age appropriate concepts of similarities and differences, matching, and fine motor skills.
Interested in using this lesson plan? Download it here: Lesson Plan- Trees-Matching LessonLeaves were also used to teach pre-math concepts such as one to one correspondence and counting.
A chart was created with the students, and hung on the main board for all to see. The terms (leaves, twigs, branches, trunk, bark and roots) were reviewed and discussed quite often. They were also used in a song that we sang and acted out, "Leaves, Branches, Trunk and Roots," sung to the tune of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes."
In addition, we did our best to measure trees, including Chinese Pistache trees, on our campus using the dual sided diameter tape measure provided by Earthwatch. They wrote down numbers as best as they could, and compared how many times the tape measure went around a tree that was big versus small.
Unfortunately, Winter Break started in mid-December and it has been raining almost non-stop since school began again on January 9th, so we were not able to complete much data collection at this time. I still plan to invite parents and students to come measure and collect data together, but it will have to be during the next group of trees (phase 3.0).
Another project involving a microgrant item was planting radishes, onions, and carrots in our root view container. First the students added water to the soil pellets and mixed and chopped until the pellets became usable soil. Then they spooned their soil into the planter, put in a few seeds, spooned in some more soil, and then we watered it. It began to grow very quickly. They are able to observe not just the above-ground growth but the roots as well. Since they all enjoy watering it, I decided to have them water it using eye droppers. They use the droppers to absorb water from a bowl, and then carefully move the dropper and squeeze it so that the water comes out onto the plant. This teaches fine motor skills as well as hand-eye coordination, especially since the root view planter is narrow.

- How did you use and/or modify Earthwatch's Resilient Trees protocol in your hands-on activity to measure trees?Without parent participation, the only thing we have been able to do as far as data collection is measure trunk diameter, and talk about which tree is bigger and how that corresponds to a bigger number. They are in preschool, so the idea that 10 is a bigger number than 5, and represents more, is something they are still learning. We did a lot with tree/leaf identification, and deciduous versus evergreen, and talked a lot about Chinese Pistache trees as there are many on our school campus.
- What were the best positive outcomes for your students as a result of these urban forestry lesson plans?There seems to be an increased excitement/interest level about trees and plants. Every morning they want to see how the plants in the root view container are doing, and they want to water them. They talk about trees as we walk around the campus, wondering why some have no leaves, or commenting about the color and shape of the leaves.
- What did your students have the most fun doing?They enjoyed measuring trees with the measuring tape, or more accurately, seeing how many times the tape measure went around each tree. They loved looking at tree parts under the microscope. They also loved the root view planting kit. It came with soil pellets so they had to add water and mix them up to "create" the soil. They also enjoyed watering the plants in the root viewer, especially with eye droppers. I was also surprised what a hit the leaf matching activity was. They enjoyed sorting through the box to find the matching leaves, and gluing them onto their paper.
- What were some challenges you faced in implementing these lesson plans? Do you have any best practices or techniques you used to overcome these challenges?
Challenges arose out of the fact that half of my students are very young (just turned 3) and many of them have autism. Most are speech delayed. Some are new to school; others have been with me for 1.5 years already. In order to provide differentiated instruction, I follow the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and provide multiple means of representation, engagement, and expression. Learners differ in how they understand and learn things, and in how they are able to express what they know. I therefore seek to provide them with information in a variety of ways: with my voice, visuals, hands-on, experiential activities, song, dance, or whatever engages them. I also understand that some may demonstrate what they have learned with words while others will create a piece of art, or build something with Legos, or act it out using puppets. I will repeat instructions as needed, and include visual step-by-step instructions for those who need that. I also modify lessons as needed based on each child's abilities or challenges. For example, some students could rummage through a box of leaves and find the matching one. A few needed to be shown just two different leaves to start. The whole box would have been overwhelming for them to start with.
- What advice do you have for fellow educators wanting to implement a similar lesson plan? Any recommendations for facilitation techniques?I have very young students (age 3-4), so these suggestions may fit those with young students more. The microscope we got has a large viewing screen. It can also be attached via USB and the image can be projected. This is much better than trying to get young students to look through an eye piece as one does when using a standard microscope. It also allows for group work as several students can see the image at once. Calling them scientists and giving them scientist "tools" such as safety goggles and eye droppers makes each activity feel more important. If you are somewhere with bad weather, bring the tree materials into the classroom for the students to observe and use in projects, and try planting indoors. It is too early to tell if we will actually harvest radishes, carrots, and onions, but the plants are growing quite well indoors.
- Do you personally plan to share this with/recommend these activities to other educators?I already have. We meet a few times a month as a grade level (which includes 2 special education pre-K classes, one general education preschool class, and a transitional kindergarten class). We all discuss what we are doing and share projects we have done or are planning to do. We do not have to do the same things, but we often get ideas from each other and collaborate on how to extend a lesson or tailor it to fit the needs and abilities of the individual students in our classrooms. I have also spoken to one of the kindergarten teachers about planting around school, and she is interested in having her class join us. Even though her students are only in kindergarten, they seem much older than my students, and can act as great peer models and "planting buddies."
- If other educators have questions about how you implemented your lesson plans, may they contact you?Absolutely. Erica Marlaine, email@example.com

text: Serena Williams Crashed A Miami Beach Wedding This Weekend Day & A Dream Team June 1, 2014 Babes, Celebrity, News, Sports 1 Comment Here's what happens when you get unexpectedly bounced from the French Open in the second round — you head to Miami. That's what Serena Williams did over the weekend as her last 48 hours have been nothing short of Instagram legend. Friday, she and now single tennis pro Caroline Wozniacki were at the Heat game to watch Lance Stephenson cup LeBron's mouth and also watch the Heat demolish the Pacers for their 4th straight Eastern Conference crown. To top it off, they took photos with Greg Oden in celebratory fashion because it's Greg freakin' Oden and he may be the happiest bench player alive right now. Saturday, she hit the beach, rocking a leopard leotard and exposed all of her cakes for the world to see. Plus, there's selfies because who doesn't take a selfie in South Beach, Miami? The kicker of it all? Serena turned into the third wheel behind Vince Vaughn & Owen Wilson and decided to crash a nearby wedding — in her swimsuit. Some day the groom will have to ask himself how in the world did he show restraint from not looking at Serena. The bride will too, because her wedding day got upstaged (or made famous) all thanks to Serena showing up unannounced. Look, their wedding will be made stronger because of this. One, the groom didn't say, "Damn she filled out that swimsuit, didn't she baby?" And the bride didn't think for a second to try and swing on Serena because wedding be damned, you're not about to try a world class athlete who looks like she could crush the Hulk if she did a split, feel me? At least it beats Jaden Smith showing up to a wedding in an Albino Batman costume. Share this:TweetShare on Tumblr

Editor: Philip Ragner | Tactical Investor
One of the main reasons we cover such a broad range of topics is because the masses are being systematically brainwashed to see what they are being directed to see. You can only solve the problem if you understand the problem; if you do not, you will either never solve it or continue trending on the path of stupidity forever. To become a good investor, you need to see the full picture and not the snippets that the mass media conveniently and almost gleefully is willing to provide. Mass psychology states that it is imperative to acknowledge the forest while looking at the tree. In other words, emotions drive the markets, and you need to focus on what emotions Mass Media is trying to stir up to spot the next significant trend. With that in mind, we think you might find the following article to of interest
It would seem, on the market's race to Dow (^DJI) 20,000, that we've hit a little speed bump. It's not so much "if" we will hit that psychological and magical level, it's more "when." But what does it really mean? For traders here on the floor, it's a significant benchmark in the Dow—one that will be celebrated with loud yells, confetti-like paper flying around, and high fives! After this three-minute celebration, it will be back to trading, and 20,000 will be in the history books. Brain dead expert states Millennials should prepare for Dow 50K

For many commercial property owners or managers in Toronto, maintenance costs will usually or undoubtedly represent a significant portion of their annual operating budgets. These maintenance expenses can and will include utilities, landscaping, snow removal, and general upkeep (like painting and trash collection) – plus a buffer for costs that are unforeseen or non-recurring, such as repairing, rebuilding, or replacing your flat roofs.
In most cases, flat roofing was likely chosen to save or reduce costs on:
- Installation
- Maintenance
- Energy consumption
However, a poorly installed or malfunctioning flat roof can lead to significant repair/replacement costs due to water penetration and/or mold damage.
There are several factors or situations that can lead to roof leaks. The most common reasons include:
- Pooling or standing water
- Improper installation
- Lack of maintenance
- Weather-related damage
- Tearing or split seams
- Accidental punctures
- Aging
If left unattended, any water that seeps through the flat roof creates a moist/wet/damp environment that becomes an ideal breeding ground for mold. This type of fungus is opportunistic and very intrusive – it flourishes in such an environment and its damaging effects can extend throughout the building or structure to such areas as the:
- Roofing frame
- Attic insulation
- Ceilings/tiles
- Interior walls
- Carpeting
- Cabinetry
The extent of the damage could become so severe that the entire roof may need to be rebuilt (either with new flat roofing or by switching to a sloped roof) and the occupants of the building might need to physically relocate elsewhere while extensive clean-up efforts are completed – and one can only shudder when thinking of the cost of such undertakings.
Another negative aspect to undetected mold growth is its possible effects on the health of tenants/employers occupying a building where this fungus is present. Although mold is not toxic, prolonged exposure can lead to coughing/sneezing, irritated throat/eyes, and skin rash.
Therefore, to prevent the possibility of structural damage and health issues that can be attributed to mold penetration, as well as their associated costs and inconvenience, it is imperative that flat roofing be installed, inspected, and maintained by experienced flat roofers such as Avenue Road Roofing.
Regular Flat Roof Inspection And Maintenance Can Prevent Mold Growth
If you are planning to invest in flat roofing for your commercial property in Toronto, it is highly recommended that your installer be commissioned to use the best possible flat roof materials to ensure a long lifecycle and lessen the risk for potential leaks or other issues (such as mold growth).
If flat roofing is currently an aspect of your property, an annual inspection by an experienced contractor, like Avenue Road Roofing, can pay dividends in terms of identifying and addressing/repairing areas where potential leaks or other damage may occur. This can be an especially prudent action in light of the impending winter weather.
For all your flat roofing needs in Toronto, call the experts at Avenue Road Roofing today at 416-785-5129 or contact us for your no-obligation estimate or to book your pre-winter inspection.

Anders Anglesey looks into a 'game-changing' stroke treatment that could give patients a greater chance of making a strong recovery, which started in south London and is now being rolled out across the country.
My father did not recognise me the last time I saw him. He had been bedridden for the best part of four weeks, unable to move the right side of his body and could not carry out basic tasks such as swallowing food or independently visit the toilet.
It was heart breaking to see a man who had been so fiercely independent being reduced to almost infant-like dependency. I kissed his forehead and told him I loved him. He died two days later, holding my brother's hand.
When he was first admitted to hospital he was given a thrombolytic, commonly called a clot buster, which aims to break-up the cause of the blockage in a blood vessel and restore flow to the brain. Unfortunately the drug, fed through an IV tube, failed.
This is not uncommon, according to Dr Jeremy Madigan, consultant diagnostic and interventional at St George's hospital, in Tooting, about 70 per cent of patients fail to benefit fully from the drug.
But the hospital has pioneered the 'mechanical thrombectomy' treatment that provides an 80 to 90 per cent chance of clearing the blockage, which will be rolled out to all 24 NHS neurology centres in England. During treatment a small tube is inserted into an artery in the groin and is manoeuvred towards the brain. When it reaches the clot it either sucks it into the tube or pulls it out using a wire.
The acute stroke unit at St George's was the first in the UK to have a fully staffed, around the clock, thrombectomy service and administers care to more than 1,200 patients each year.
Juliet Bouverie, chief executive at the Stroke Association, called the procedure 'a real game changer which can save lives and reduce the chances of someone being severely disabled after a stroke.' She said: "Stroke is the fourth biggest killer in the UK, and a leading cause of disability. Current treatment options are limited and do not always work.
"The decision by NHS England could give thousands of critically ill stroke patients an increased chance of making a better recovery. It could mean more stroke survivors living independently in their own homes, returning to work and taking control of their lives again as a result.
"However, thrombectomy is a complicated procedure. Its delivery across England will need significant changes to NHS stroke services, as well as an increase in the number of trained professionals who can carry out the procedure so that as many people as possible can benefit from this powerful new treatment."
Professor Tony Rudd, national clinical director for stroke at NHS England, said: "The quality of care and survival rates for stroke are now at record levels, and NHS England is committed to fast-tracking new and effective treatments, particularly, as in this case, where they deliver long-term benefits for both patients and the taxpayer.
"We will therefore now be working with and investing in specialist stroke services across the country to ensure we can introduce this out to all patients who would benefit, as soon as possible."
According to the Stroke Association there are more than 100,000 cases of strokes in the UK each year.
Almost two thirds of survivors leave hospital with a disability.

Equipment Details
As NEW
Excellent Value
IC-7600, HF/50MHz transceiver is enhanced with some of the main features tried and tested on the Icom flagship IC-7700/7800 models, highly regarded by ham operators world-wide. Add over 45 years of analogue RF circuit expertise and the result is the IC-7600, arig with outstanding performance and a multitude of innovative features including a newly employed double conversion superheterodyne system and dual DSP units and 3kHz IF (roofing) filter. To celebrate the launch of the IC-7600 HF+50MHz Transceiver, The IC-7600 enables users to send RTTY/PSK31 messages directly entered by a connected USB keyboard. This promotion will emphasise this capability and encourage CW/phone enthusiasts to try this method. Dual DSP for transmit/receive and spectrum scope The IC-7600 is powered by two 32-bit floating point DSP units for Transmit/Receive and spectrum scope. The DSP units provide high performance comparable to Icom's top-of-the-line transceivers IC-7800 and IC-7700. The IC-7600 achieves similar performance for high speed digital signal processing combined with Icom's analogue RF technologies. 104dB dynamic range and +30dBm third order intercept point (IP3) Icom's long years of analogue RF circuit experience combined with the latest digital technology results in an astonishing 104dB receiver dynamic range and +30dBm IP3 in the HF bands without sacrificing to the receiver sensitivity. Even a weak signal adjacent to strong signals is received by the IC-7600. Double conversion superheterodyne dramatically improves inband IMD The IC-7600 employs a double conversion superheterodyne system, which has an image rejection mixer for the 2nd mixer stage. When compared to the triple conversion system, the double conversion system is technically difficult to achieve a stable mixer operation but it dramatically reduces signal distortion through IF processing and provides a high-fidelity signal to the DSP unit. As a result, the IC-7600 provides a clearer, more distinct signal. The AGC loop management controlled by the DSP unit The IC-7600 detects the AGC voltage from the signal which has passed the digital IF filter. That means the IC-7600 prevents the AGC blocking from a nearby strong signal to bring out the full potential of the digital IF filter. The digital IF filter and manual notch filter are also processed in the AGC loop. Three 1st IF filters, including 3kHz bandwidth The IC-7600 has three 1st IF filters (roofing filters) in front of the 1st IF amplifier stage. You can select an appropriate filter width from 3kHz, 6kHz and 15kHz filter depending on operating mode. (15kHz fixed for FM mode). The 3kHz 1st IF filter protects the subsequent stage from the influence of nearby strong stations.

Pioneer Touchscreen Cycle-Computer
Select style & size:Select options
- One Color, One Sizesale $194.98
Tech Specs
Pioneer developed the SGX-CA500 Touchscreen Cycle-Computer to display all of your metrics in a convenient operating system, but with a sleeker profile than the SGX-CA900. As part of Pioneer's new Pedal Monitoring System, the Cycle-Computer gives you an exact visual representation—in real-time, at your cockpit—of how effective your pedaling is. The system tracks power output for each leg, independently, and where that power is being applied, with arrows indicating contributing torque and other arrows indicating losses displayed on the screen.
The Cycle-Computer features six preconfigured screens, with each displaying a range of one to nine metrics at a time. Pioneer allows you to customize and de-activate these screens as you wish, and the touchscreen interface (which allows you to swipe from screen to screen and tap to expand a metric) is easy to navigate when you're on the road.
The computer features built-in Wi-Fi, so you can log your ride stats to Pioneer's Cycle-Sphere website, which is an online training center that lets you analyze your ride stats through an array of comprehensible graphs and numerical displays. Pioneer's Cycle-Computer also has a built-in GPS receiver and is ANT+ compatible. It and comes with a handlebar bracket, Micro USB cable, and safety strap.

touch screen stinks, menus are horrible
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I love the idea of having individual leg power monitoring (and location of power during rotation), but this head-unit is clunky at best and the touchscreen menus are really difficult to use. resolution of the screen is below average as well. i didn't put it through the wringer, so can't comment on durability, I just didn't like the menu structure or the touchscreen. I'm sticking with my Wahoo Elemnt & Bolt
Don't buy without a Pioneer PM
If you don't have a Pioneer Power Meter to make use of the additional information that this head unit would show, I really don't recommend picking this up. The menu system is clunky, it has some of the worst GPS data I've ever seen (worse than a Garmin Edge 500, which is old enough to attend Elementary school), and is priced higher than the competition.
BUT, if you do have Pioneer PM, it's sorta cool cause it shows you where you put your power down in the pedal stroke. Which is cool if you like that sort of thing.
Very Dissapointing
This head unit is hard to read, seldom syncs, rattles like crazy on the post, and not very intuitive when trying to use it. I have attempted to use it several times and even chatted with support a few times about it to try and make it work. It has spent most of its time now in a drawer due to frustration. So much for getting the full features from the pioneer powermeter crankset!
held up perfectly for 2 years
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've put a few miles on now with this unit through all types of weather as well. The computer has never let me down, the only thing is that I tend to leave it on and the battery runs down. Charging is easy and lasts me about a week of daily riding. Ideally you put it with the Pioneer cranks and you get an awesome dashboard of information particularly true L and R foot power with where in your pedal stroke the power is coming from. It will work with most other power sources as well.
Great unit; with or without their meter!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had this unit for about 6 months; and only for the last week have I been able to use it to its full potential, with Pioneer's power meter. Previously, I had been using it to display heart rate, cadence, speed, and all related metrics; I was very satisfied with these features, and have been more impressed with its reliability than the Garmin units I have owned previously.
Even if you don't have a power meter, but are looking for a full-featured computer, this is worth your consideration.
If you are getting a Pioneer power meter, the CA500 is a no-brainer.

MN--New Ulm bishop refuses to disclose abusive clergy
For immediate release: Tuesday, January 20
Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis, Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (314 566 9790, firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
Why is New Ulm the only Minnesota diocese still refusing to disclose names of predator priests? Because for six key years (2001-2007), when the Catholic Church's clergy sex abuse and cover up crisis exploded into an international scandal, John Nienstedt headed that diocese.
We believe that current New Ulm officials - including Bishop John M. LeVoir - are protecting themselves and their reputations AND the reputation and career of the embattled Nienstedt.
So we hope that this continuing reckless and hurtful secrecy will backfire. We hope the recalcitrance of New Ulm Catholic officials will prod even more victims, witnesses and whistleblowers in that diocese to speak up, regardless of what courts do or don't do to force disclosures by these irresponsible "shepherds."
(SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is the world's oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. We've been around for 25 years and have more than 18,000 members. Despite the word "priest" in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, and Protestant ministers.

Onions are one of the many seasonings used in cooking. But, if someone wants to use it must get ready to cry.
In addition to cooking, garlic is also believed to contain chemicals that function as anti-cholesterol, anti-inflammatory, an antioxidant and can also help overcome the blood pressure.
Why slicing or peeling onions make people cry?
When a person is cut or peel the onion then she broke the cells in the onion that combines each layer. One membrane of onion contain enzymes, while others contain sulfur compounds.
When the onion sliced or peeled, the chemical reaction occurs between the enzyme and also sulfur compounds that produce gas volatile (easily evaporated). This gas will react with the surrounding air becomes sulfuric acid.
Because the nerve endings of the eye is very sensitive, then hit the gas when the eyes become irritated and stimulate watering to protect the eyes. Because it would not be surprised if more and more onions are cut, the tears that come out will be more and more also.
But, if the onion has entered into a skillet or frying pan then one would not stop crying or tears.
"This is because during the cooking process, the enzyme that produces these gases will be destroyed or no longer active so it does not make the eyes become irritated," said Dr. Gerry Russell, professor of food biochemistry from the University of California.
To reduce irritation, so not many tears that come out when confronted with the onion, there are several ways you can do are:
- Keeping the distance eyes with onions, increasing distance, the gas that irritates the eyes will be fewer and fewer.
- Keeping onions stay cool, this is due to cool the onions can reduce the gas that comes out due to enzyme inactivation.
- Using the goggles, the goggles will make the eyes are protected, thereby reducing irritation.
- Chewing gum, chewing will make someone breathe through the mouth, thereby reducing the gas exposures to the eye.
- Try not to be rubbed his eyes because it will make the eye more irritated and trigger more tears came out.

I was doing a search today about Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day and found this gem from 2014 – we LOVE it when you share about this day! We invite you to spread the word as well!
Just heard about the Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day today. It is in honor of a little girl who died of cancer and is celebrating her 13th birthday today in heaven. The day helps to remember the kids fighting cancer or those who lost the fight and are in heaven.
Here is an article and link to Facebook site: Malia Grace is a little girl who will be celebrating her 13th birthday in Heaven tomorrow, February 18th. Malia battled pediatric cancer and passed away a few years ago. One thing she LOVED was having ice cream for breakfast and her family remembered her each year on her birthday by doing just that. Now YOU and your family are invited to do the same thing! Just eat ice cream for breakfast in memory of Malia Grace and all those children who are battling cancer, surviving cancer or resting in Heaven with their Savior. Be sure to like Malia Grace's Facebook page, invite your friends to do the same and post a pic on Malia's page.
So, eat ice cream for breakfast today…….and give your kids an extra hug and love!

What actually is 'Lebensklugheit' and what can we learn from it?
Lebensklugheit is a German term that can be best translated as 'worldly wisdom'. The art of Lebensklugheit goes back over 2000 years as far as Aristotle. It is that art of dealing properly with people, mastering the challenges of life in a wise manner and making effective long-term decisions. And that is the true significance of Lebensklugheit – for although the concept itself has been largely forgotten, it is in essence a practical skill that we need on a daily basis.
Seminars on communication and 'Lebensklugheit'
You know how it goes: Another communication seminar, another trainer… they are ten a penny… all offering more or less the same content – 'How to argue correctly', 'How to give a presentation' or 'how do I come across convincingly?' 'Lebensklug – communicating cleverly' takes a different stance. I offer seminars that don't only help you in a specific circumstance, but rather enable you to develop yourself on an ongoing basis. To achieve this I have brought various communication topics into line with the art of worldly wisdom and thereby shed a totally new light on the way we interact with each other on a daily basis.
In today's society, with the endless possibilities available to us, many people struggle to make decisions or be totally happy with a decision they have made. For many of us the 'what if?' feeling hovers in the background making us doubt every decision we have made. Additionally, increasing competitive pressure and the growing complexity of our jobs require ever more effective coping strategies to avoid stress and burnout downtime.
The art of worldly wisdom demonstrably puts you in the position to better shape your own life, avoid pitfalls, and deal more effectively with uncertainties and setbacks. Your way of thinking and world views help to hone your mind and to act in an orientated and effective manner. Embrace the knowledge of past times and cultures and use it to your advantage!
The five pillars of worldly wisdom
The five pillars of worldly wisdom as I see them are: reflection, emotion management, social competence, orientation and strategy.
Ask yourself: How well do I know myself? Give it a go – try to soberly 'scan' the inner you. It is worth it – after all, you have to spend the rest of your life with this person. Hand on heart – do you really know your strengths and weaknesses? How about your emotions, wishes, motivations and goals in life? Reflection is the prerequisite for the next point.
Emotion management
Without self control there can be no worldly wisdom. This does not mean that some sort of uncompromising, old-school self control or suppression of feelings is required. Rather the opposite! Modern emotion management is about the conscious handling and the step by step regulation of emotions. For we must not forget our basic right to relaxation and the free expression of our emotions.
Social Competence
Whereas emotion management requires us to be inward looking, social competence is about looking outwards. How often do you make an effort to feel empathy for those around you and to try to understand their feelings? How regularly are you empathetic and how frequently do you view a problem or conflict situation from the standpoint of the other person? And how often do you express your empathy?
Here too, the adage 'knowledge is power' holds true. Before you act, it is crucial that you familiarise yourself with the most important teachings, opinions and pieces of advice that 'worldly wisdom' has to offer. Luckily we don't have to reinvent the wheel each time – rather, we can gather valuable tips and suggestions and find out how we can become more 'worldly wise'.
The Americans call this a 'game plan'. A strategic management of one's own resources and the exploration of both the possibilities and limits of your individual daily communication and interaction. Every strategy is specific to the individual and has to be tailored to their needs. At this stage we are already in the day-to-day practical usage of communication skills and the actual field in which worldly wisdom benefits our actions and development.

Ninth place at Henry Luce
Just one day of racing
Day 1 at the Luce Regatta at Kings Point started with a light SW breeze at 5-8 knots. As the day went on the breeze clocked farther right to a solid westerly direction for a better part of the day at about 8-14 knots. we finished up with 10 races in each division. Queens ended the first day in 9th overall.
Day 2: The day began with winds of about 17knts, gusting up to around 22knts with 2 foot chop. Queens sailors were stoked for the favorable conditions, but unfortunately many other teams felt uncomfortable in the building breeze. Racing was postponed on shore, and the regatta was called around 11:30.
Special thanks to coach Rob Frost for coaching us on the water this weekend!
See the scores here. The top-6 for qualify for the War Memorial regatta in two weeks.
Sailing for Queen's were Matthew Sherar '17, Katie Combaluzier '16, Brendan Aulthouse '16 and Sean Magee-Saxton '16.

They called the place the lookout sea,
Fountains of waves
A salt mist in blue sky aloft,
Clouds passing through Saturday mornings
Honey air, we walked a sandy path
With tin pails in hand;
Well water kept us cool as we picked
Bushel after bushel of plump blueberries.
Blue lips and fingers, a spider's web,
A bee's wing,
Dragonflies nipping and tucking, arising,
Noon sun casting our shadows;
Kindled my love for a season.
Gulls dragging their beaks in a tidal pool with water that
Had a brackish taste, the tang of a river sea;
Sandpipers scurrying through fen and thickets.
And so, together, with my sisters and brothers,
We gathered till the dusk came rising;
Pies and jams quenching our taste for a fruit.
We walked, and I still walk there,
Though the blueberry plants are barren save for
Fond memories; I oft hear joyful voices,
Hear tin pails clanging
Culling a harvest; our childhoods nourished.

When Airtame does not have a direct access to an update server, it can not update its firmware via the traditional OTA method. We always recommend using the latest firmware, therefore new releases are very important. For companies who do not have the possibility to connect Airtame to a network with internet connection for accessing the update server - here are the steps for how to setup a local update server on your network.
- Running web server (Apache/IIS/SimpleHTTPServer/any other webserver).
- The Airtame's device settings cannot be password protected. You can remove the password, update the Airtames, and then re-enable password protection.
- Create a folder where you will later put the update files.
- Go to http://repos-cdn.airtame.com/firmware/DG2/ga/ (for Airtame 2) and http://repos-cdn.airtame.com/firmware/DG1/ga/ (for Airtame 1) and download the following files (can be done manually from another network):
- For latest version:
- For any other version:
Note: 3.3.1 is an example here
3. Run your web server, so it will make your folder publicly available via HTTP.
4. Send the following command to your device:
curl -X POST -d '{"url": "address_of_your_local_webserver/path/to/update_folder/{your_version}"}' http://device_ip_address/admin/device/update
Real examples:
curl -X POST -d '{"url": "http://192.168.1.6:8000/DG2_update_folder_331/airtame-fw-v3.3.1"}' http://192.168.1.13/admin/device/update
curl -X POST -d '{"url": "http://192.168.1.6:8000/DG2_update_folder_latest/latest"}' http://192.168.1.13/admin/device/update
Keep in mind:
This feature is in beta.
This feature will work for releases after FW v3.3.0.
Be careful when saving files — some browsers save
airtame-fw-v3.3.1.rootfs.size as
airtame-fw-v3.3.1.rootfs.size.txt. If that happened, make sure the file has the proper extension.
Bear in mind that MD5 checksum is not for archive, but for the rootfs partition inside the image. So the MD5 sum won't match with .gz file, which is OK and expected.

The only so-called "freedom" an American citizen will lose from this verdict is the previously-unchallenged freedom to try your hardest to make those who love you die.
hen criminal verdicts permanently alter criminal law and a particular case sets a new precedent, people are usually concerned about two things: the first is: "Which of my freedoms will I lose because of this?"
However, there is a second question that is asked, albeit usually more quietly. That question is, "How will myself and others gain protections because of this?" When something is upended by the justice system, those who ask the first question feel as though they're losing something. They feel that now there's one more thing they have to worry about being sentenced to prison for, one more activity they have to second guess, because someone might convict them of a crime.
However, when someone is legally punished for their behavior and a new precedent is set, future victims of a dangerous act are protected. So when it comes to the court case that led to Michelle Carter's controversial conviction of involuntary manslaughter for the texts and phone call that preceded Conrad Roy III's suicide, we have to ask ourselves two questions: Which of our freedoms will we lose because of this? And what protections will we gain?
For weeks leading up to Roy's death, Carter encouraged him to take his own life via text messages. She made manipulative appeals to his emotions, telling him that his family would "get over it" and that it was "time." At one point, she went so far as to tell him: "Conrad, I told you I'll take care of them. Everyone will take care of them to make sure they won't be alone and people will help them get through it."
She clearly took advantage of a mentally ill, vulnerable person. However, up until the last text message she sent, Carter was legally blameless. Her actions were disgusting, to be sure, but not technically criminal.
On July 12th, 2014, Roy drove to a KMart parking lot, where he planned to take his life. Carter knew his intent when he drove to that parking lot. After they exchanged their final text messages, they began talking on the phone. At some point during this phone call, Roy began the process of emitting carbon monoxide into his pickup truck. He began the process of dying.
Carter was on the phone with him the entire time. At this point, he still had technically acted upon his own free will, though he obviously had been heavily manipulated by someone who he trusted, someone with full knowledge of his vulnerability and suicidal tendencies.
It was what happened next that cinched Carter's guilty conviction: afraid of dying, Roy got out of the car, which was filling with toxic gas. The judge in the case, Lawrence Moniz, explains: "However, he breaks that chain of self-causation by exiting the vehicle he takes himself out of the toxic environment that it has become."
At this juncture, there is a life-threatening situation looming just a few feet away from Roy. All he had to do was open the door to his truck, climb inside the cabin, close the door behind him, and wait to die. And Carter, fully aware of what was happening, told him he should do it. There was an immediate and deadly situation occurring in real time, and Carter instructed Roy to place himself in the thick of it.
So now, let's re-examine the two questions that we considered earlier. First, which of our freedoms will we lose because of this case? The only so-called "freedom" an American citizen will lose from this verdict is the previously-unchallenged freedom to try your hardest to make those who love you die.
Now for the second question: who is being protected by this verdict? When Roy got back in his truck to die, he had to make a decision: go through with what he had promised his girlfriend he would do or back out. He was mentally ill and emotionally susceptible to the influence of others, especially those whom he trusted like Carter. She undoubtedly knew this. The precedent established by his case means that in the future, people like Carter will be incentivized not to do what she did. This has the clear and obvious potential to save the lives of those suffering from under-treated and possibly under-diagnosed mental illnesses, who are going to be easily influenced by those who mean them harm.
Practically speaking, Carter's role in Roy's life was no different than it would have been if she had physically locked him in a room full of carbon monoxide. Her words had the same impact, as she knew and hoped they would. Her words were premeditated and calculated. She intended for him to die, and he did.
Anytime we broaden our interpretation of what is and isn't criminal, many are fearful of their rights being stepped on. However, the verdict reached by the court is going to protect the vulnerable and punish the evil—and is this not the ultimate purpose of the American criminal justice system?

By Dr. Karen Shaw Becker
Just like puppies, kittens develop a big part of their adult personality during their first few months. The experiences your kitten has during this important period of brain development will influence her behavior and temperament for the rest of her life.
According to the late Dr. Sophia Yin, a brilliant animal behaviorist, one of the best ways to ensure kittens find and remain in forever homes is to socialize them,1 which is to say, give them positive experiences with lots of different people, animals, unfamiliar cats, new environments and human handling.
Kittens exposed to these things during the critical developmental period of 8 to 15 weeks are more likely to be friendly and social adult cats. They are also better equipped to handle the everyday stresses of life, such as a change in their human's work schedule, or the arrival of a new member of the household.
The following recommendations from veterinary journal dvm360 are a good way to get your tiny furry family member off on the right paw in life.2 Just remember not to force anything on her. Make sure each step is done in a way that's comfortable for your kitten, and if she shows signs of fear in a particular situation, don't keep exposing her to it.
1. Handle your kitten — literally: Make a point to touch your kitten all over. Don't ever be forceful or push to the point of struggle. Just touch and hold gently and reward his acceptance with a special treat or gentle pet (kittens love to be stroked on both sides of their faces).
Remember that eventually you'll need to be able to trim his claws, clean his ears and brush his teeth. If your new kitten is conditioned to enjoy these rituals, or at least tolerate them, it will be much less stressful for both of you.
2. Socialize with your kitten: Let your kitten meet people of all shapes, sizes and mannerisms to learn there's nothing to fear from people of all kinds. Introduce children, men and women, and even people with hats or costumes — Halloween comes around once a year. Don't forget the treats to make "scary" fun! Warn everyone to go slowly and speak softly, because kittens can be cautious by nature.
3. Keep the peace (of mind): Since your kitten will need to visit the veterinarian throughout her life, you can make the experience much less stressful by training her early not to fear the cat carrier (more about this shortly).
4. Adventure with your kitten: You and your cat will experience all life has to offer together, but the experiences won't be as fun if he's afraid or difficult to handle. Take your kitten wherever you can for exposure to new places. Visit your veterinarian just to say hi and offer kitty some yummy treats. And don't forget to make his carrier into a kitty nirvana, because that's the way you can keep travel with him the safest.
Science shows it's easier for brains to remember bad experiences than good ones, so make sure your foundation for your kitten's brain is filled with terrific associations. You can avoid big problems in the future and, let's face it, handling and spending time with your kitten is a ton of fun!
It used to be that only puppies were thought to need socialization and behavior training, but in recent years classes designed to train and socialize young cats and their humans have cropped up all across North America. Kitten kindergarten is designed specifically for kittens 8 to 15 weeks of age who have received their first set of kitten shots. This is the period during which they are most receptive and open to learning new things and bonding with other kitties and humans.
During the meet-ups, young cats have the opportunity to interact and play with people and other kittens. The classes are typically equipped with a variety of cat toys, scratching posts and litterboxes, and involve games to help kitties develop proper social and play behavior.
The goal of kitten kindergarten is to teach positive behaviors, which will help prevent the development of troublesome behaviors in the future. For example, it's especially important for kittens who were taken from their mother and littermates too soon to engage in activities that teach bite inhibition.
Another benefit of the classes is that they typically take place over several weeks, which helps kittens get accustomed to going in and out of their carriers and riding in the car. And if the classes happen to be held at a veterinary clinic, kittens get accustomed to that environment as well.
When you enroll your kitten in a kindergarten class, you'll be told what supplies to bring. Common items include a cat harness and leash, and a brush. Part of your kitten's training will involve learning to accept being brushed and having sensitive areas of her body handled (e.g., paws, tail, ears and inside her mouth). Some of the behaviors Dr. Yin and her staff taught in their kitten classes (you can find demonstration pictures here):
When they have the skills to cope, cats are much less likely to "act out" as kitties do when they're stressed — by spraying, for example, or eliminating outside the litterbox. They're also better able to be full members of the family rather than fearful cats who live under the bed.
Purchase the carrier and set it up in a quiet, low-traffic area of your home where your kitten hangs out. Place some comfy bedding in there, and prop or tie the door open so that it can't accidentally close. Kitty may get curious enough to begin going in and out on her own.
The next step is to entice her with food, so place her food bowl close to the carrier. Add a small amount of a special treat she loves on top of her meal to further tempt her. Once kitty is eating from the bowl without hesitation, start moving it closer each meal, until she's eating comfortably very close to the carrier.
Next, place the food bowl inside the carrier, right at the entrance, so she can reach bites of food without having to actually step inside.
Put a few of your kitty's favorite toys and treats into the carrier at random times. The idea is to associate only pleasant, fun and yummy things with the carrier each time she investigates it. Consider placing some organic catnip in there. I've also found that spraying a feline facial pheromone like Feliway in the carrier several times a week can also be very beneficial, or using stress-reducing flower essences for anxiety or fear.
After several days of eating out of her food bowl placed just inside the carrier entrance, it's time to move the dish further in. Move it a few inches toward the back of the carrier each day, until she's standing completely inside as she eats.
Once kitty is feeling at home in her carrier, try closing the door for a very short time with her inside, making sure to let her out before she becomes anxious or panics. Slowly extend the time in the crate by 30 seconds to a minute during each practice session.
When you can close the door for significant periods of time without upsetting her, you can start bringing her along on short car rides to get her accustomed to being in her carrier in a moving car.
Each time you return home with kitty, go right back to providing meals, toys and treats in the crate so she continues to associate her carrier with goodness. Ideally, your cat will come to view her carrier as a comfy, safe space.

Mt.Kilimanjaro Climbing Itineraries
A safaris is something special, whatever your age, budget, interests or previous safari experience. Almost a third of this vast and spectacular country is protected for wildlife viewing, and these areas include some of the best and most varied game viewing locations in the world. This is a region of incredible natural beauty with a great range of landscape and terrain. Furthermore, all the game viewing areas offer a selection of excellent accommodation options.
Tanzanian Safaris can take many forms, depending on your interests and inclinations. We specialise in providing you with the finest safari experiences, in absolute comfort and style, whatever your requirements.
A huge element of safari is the guiding. All of our safaris are expertly guided and we guarantee that even the most knowledgeable and experienced guest will learn a thing or two along the way. Days are spent observing the magnificent African wilderness and wildlife at first hand, an experience which most safari-goers find profoundly moving and life-enhancing. Safaris in Tanzania make for exceptionally memorable and intimate honeymoons, as well as the most treasured family holidays. A true treat for animal lovers, bird-watchers, nature lovers and anyone who appreciates a little luxurious pampering.
For many people, the very idea of safari includes nights under canvas. This can be incorporated in a myriad of different ways. From permanent tented camps (where voluminous canvas tents stand on concrete platforms and include built-in bathrooms with flush toilets and running hot and cold water) to mobile tented camps which move regularly to follow the migration, there is a huge range of camping options available, from simple and rustic (bucket showers) to chic and luxurious. Even the best permanent (non-canvas) lodges can organize a night or two fly-camping under the star-studded African sky.

As the Mr had decided to take himself off to the exotic holiday resort of Butlins, Skegness (!) for a boys night out on Friday night, he was clearly going to be in no fit state to help entertain an energetic 3 year old on Saturday morning. So I was glad to hear that the Lincoln Mums Expo could be the answer to my problems. I had arranged to attend with a group of friends and their children but an outbreak of scarlet fever and chicken pox meant they were very much in quarantine.
So myself, bump and the small person headed off to the Bishop Grosseteste University campus to take a look at what fun was to be had. And we weren't disappointed. First stop was a glitter tattoo from the lovely Leanne at Colour Me Happy. Beautifully applied but I do feel duty bound to mention that the tattoos are waterproof only because the little Mr still has his perfectly in place more than 24 hours later. He does have a bath every night. You know, just in case anyone was wondering.
Next step was the excellent play area provided by Bounce Wright Castles. As you can see from the picture, a push along bike was immediately commandeered and only reluctantly surrendered when the lure of the bouncy castle was just too much. The equipment provided was to such a great standard and the range available would be great if you were to hire a church hall style venue and needed to fill it with lots of soft play fun.
Whilst it would have been lovely to have attended one of the talks that was on offer (particularly the brilliant Lisa from Opti-Mum) the clock was ticking with a increasingly over-tired 3 year old in tow. So we opted to have a quick scoot around the marketplace where lots of stands displaying local children's activity and product providers were located.
We said 'Hi' to Annual, our new favourite uber-cool children's lifestyle store in Lincoln. An eclectic selection of Instagram-able stock with a quirky twist – be prepared not only to have the urge to buy everything on offer but to just hang out in the carefully curated surroundings.
We also had a really interesting chat with Jo from Emotionally Aware Feeding. I'm really interested to try a different approach to weaning with the next baby but also would like to encourage the 3 year old to widen his food repertoire a little. Obviously this conversation was occurring whilst he was wolfing down a packet of sugar laden Love Heart sweeties. Look, I was in full bribery territory by that point as I was determined to get around all the stands!
There were so many great businesses there that this blog post would be insanely long if I mentioned them all. But what really stood out to me was the passion from each and every one of the business founders exhibiting, all of whom were super lovely and able to each offer something unique and personal.
The event was really well organised and laid out and I would really recommend attending if Lincoln Mums are kind enough to put on another event in the future. Don't be shy if you're pregnant or attending on your own – I made it around with a small person and a growing bump and emerged not only unscathed but positively enlightened x

This is probably one of the least glamorous-looking beauty products out there. But, it's efficacy makes up for it's un-aesthetically pleasing white tube.
I have now been on Differin for more than three months now (supposedly how long it takes to actually work), and I can definitely see an improvement in my skin.
It has really purged my pores of little under the skin bumps, pimples, blackheads and more. However–don't get me wrong–I still have some blackheads on my nose, some comedones on my chin and forehead and the occasional cystic pimple. But there are far less of them and this adapalene gel makes them much more manageable.
I used to experience a never ending circle of cystic pimples on my chin and cheeks and now, I may get 1 every two weeks (more likely around my special time of the month) and instead of lurking around for a week before disappearing, the Differin brings down the size and pain significantly in one night and speeds up the healing process to only a day or two. This in itself, for me, is magic.
If you're expecting Differin to clear up your skin by 3 months, you're probably dreaming. When I was frustrated and approaching my second month (and going through what seemed like purge cycle upon purge cycle), I found online that Differin really needs at least 4 months to be given a chance. There's definite improvements so far, so I'm going to stick with it.
Tips for using Differin:
- Make sure you have thoroughly cleansed your face beforehand, and then wait 15 minutes before applying a pea-sized amount to your entire face. This is not a spot treatment.
- I usually give the gel a few minutes to sink in before applying my other skincare. If you have oilier skin, you might be able to go without any moisturizer on top, but the retinol can be quite drying.
- Don't use any heavy serums, oils or moisturizers over top. Keep it light.
- If you have uber-sensitive skin, then start slowly by only using it every other night for the first week.
- Follow the directions: only use a pea-sized amount, cover your entire face and do wait those 15-20 minutes: I read a blog post about a girl who was complaining about it's efficacy but she was using it totally wrong (using it as a spot treatment after applying moisturizer).
- Clinique TTDO balm, Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm and cream cleansers like Clinique, and Weleda.
- Clarins Gentle Exfoliator in the morning and Biologique Recherche P50W in the evening.
- Ole Henriksen Truth Serum in the morning and Estée Lauder ANR in the evening.
- Biologique Recherche Crème Dermopurifiante and a few nights a week I layer over Vichy Aqualia Thermal Night Spa for added moisture.
- One night a week I will use Kate Somerville Exfolikate and one day (when I'm not going outside) I use Alpha H Liquid Gold.
- Biologique Recherche Masque Vivant mixed with 1/2 tsp of baking soda 3-4 times a week.
- Clarisonic only for morning cleanses.
- Always, always, always SPF 50 before going outside (I like Kiehl's, La Roche-Posay and Vichy).
Differin cannot be bought from a department store: you need a prescription from your doctor. As a beauty blogger, I am so lucky to receive many products for free, but all in all, this is the best product that I don't have to pay for (thank you benefits). So, for now at least, I'll keep truckin' and keep you all updated with the results in a few months.

The popliteal vein is located posterior to the knee in the popliteal region that is a major route for venous return from the lower leg. It is considered a deep vein of the leg. However, it has both deep and superficial tributaries contributing to its blood flow. It becomes the femoral vein after it passes through the adductor hiatus in the thigh.[1]
The popliteal vein is responsible for much of the drainage from the lower leg. The posterior tibial vein, peroneal vein, and the anterior tibial vein are all deep veins of the lower leg that converge to form the popliteal vein at the level of the popliteus muscle. The small saphenous vein is a superficial vessel that drains the posterior, lower leg and empties into the popliteal vein. The popliteal vein passes anteriorly through the adductor hiatus at which point it becomes the femoral vein.[1]
The lower extremity limb bud development begins in the fourth week of development and continues into the fifth week.[1] The angiogenesis of the lower leg's venous system is thought to be induced by angio-guiding nerves laying out the framework for the venous plexuses that that go on to form the veins of the lower leg. Several venous plexuses merge at the popliteal region of the leg which results in several different configurations of the roots of the popliteal vein.[2]
The popliteal artery runs anterior to the popliteal vein and is the primary blood supply to the popliteal region as well as the lower leg. It is a continuation of the femoral artery that is referred to as the popliteal artery once it passes through the adductor hiatus. At the level of the popliteal muscle, it sends a branch anteriorly to form the anterior tibial artery, and the popliteal artery continues to split into the posterior tibial artery and the peroneal artery.[3]
The lymph from the lymph nodes in the popliteal fossa ascends the thigh along with the popliteal vessels and then subsequently the femoral vessels until it drains into the deep inguinal lymph nodes. There are several lymph nodes embedded in the fat in the popliteal fossa and along the popliteal vessels.[4]
The location of the popliteal vein is medial to the tibial and common peroneal nerves in the popliteal fossa.
The sympathetic nervous system is essential in the control of venous capacitance and is responsible for the baroreceptor reflex in which the venous return to the heart increases via a reflex increase in sympathetic tone in response to hypotension.[5]
Muscle contraction of the lower limb is important in maintaining adequate venous blood flow to the heart. Contraction of calf muscles, like the gastrocnemius and soleus, cause an increase in pressure in veins of the lower leg such as the posterior tibial vein. This increased pressure creates a gradient by which the blood can move proximally into the popliteal vein and back towards the heart.[6]
There are several different anatomic variants of the origin of the popliteal vein. Typically the vein originates at the level of the popliteal muscle from the anterior tibial, posterior tibial, and peroneal veins. However, documented variants include popliteal veins that originate more proximal near the adductor hiatus with either two or three of the contributing tributaries. There have also been cases reported of duplicate popliteal veins.[7]
Variations also exist in the vein's anatomical relationship with its arterial counterpart. The popliteal vein is typically posterolateral to the popliteal artery, though anatomists have noted variations in which the vein crosses the artery and lies medial to it. Additionally, there have been cases reported in which there were no popliteal nor femoral veins but rather a persistent sciatic vein draining the lower extremity in their place.[8]
Because of its location in the popliteal region of the knee, it is crucial to know the location of the popliteal vein in a posterior approach to the knee. The posterior approach to the knee is not a common technique, and its most common utility is in the repair of the neurovascular bundle in trauma cases. Though less common, it also has utility in the repair of avulsion fractures from the posterior cruciate ligament attachment on the tibial plateau, Baker cyst excision, gastrocnemius muscle recession secondary to contractures, and hamstring lengthening.[9]
It is essential to have a complete understanding of the normal anatomy as well as the anatomical variants of the popliteal vein and the rest of the neurovascular bundle in the popliteal fossa as an injury to these structures could result in significant neurovascular compromise to the lower extremity. When performing deep dissection using the posterior approach, blunt dissection is suggested near the neurovascular bundle to minimize the risk of injury.[9]
In traumatic popliteal injuries, the popliteal artery and vein are both at risk. Though an injury to the popliteal artery carries an increased risk of lower leg ischemia and subsequent amputation, cases in which both the popliteal vein and artery are compromised carry have not been found to increase the rates of amputation versus arterial injury alone.[10]
The popliteal vein is one of the most common locations for the development of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). These can be life-threatening when a portion of a thrombus to breaks off and forms a pulmonary embolus as it travels to the lungs. Also, whenever there is cryptogenic stroke always perform the duplex ultrasound of the legs to rule out deep vein thrombosis. If present, one should perform the transesophageal echocardiography to rule out patent foramen ovale. Patients who have deep vein thrombosis need to start on coumadin or newer anticoagulation agents. The duration of the treatment depends on the provocating factor involved.
Popliteal vein entrapment is an uncommon development that typically occurs secondary to a muscular or tendinous anomaly causing compression of the vein. The most common cause is an anatomic variation in the location of the heads of the gastrocnemius muscle. Other causes of entrapment may include popliteal artery aneurysms, hypertrophied gastrocnemius muscles in athletes, and ruptured popliteal cysts. Popliteal vein entrapment can cause similar symptoms to that one might see in chronic venous insufficiency. Some of these sequelae include lower leg edema distal to the entrapment, venous claudication, venous varicosities in the lower extremities, skin stasis changes, and DVT development secondary to venous stasis.[11]
Popliteal vein aneurysms, while uncommon, are another dangerous development in the vessel as they can increase clot formation risk and subsequent pulmonary embolism causing significant morbidity and mortality.[12]
