It was there that she learned and trained herself in Ribbon embroidery, pottery painting, and other kinds of art & craft related work.

Yosh Abdul
Yosh is a self-taught designer/illustrator and runs a successful handmade and crafting business from home known as Yosh – Everyday Designs.
Painting has always been her passion since childhood and while in search of inspiration she fell in love with the beauty of folk art. She remembers being drawn to the exquisite and detailed designs in a Russian Fairy Tale book, which her grandfather handed down to her. This fueled Yosh's desire to learn more about the artistry and eventually led her to her journey into the beautiful world of folk art.
Started her artistic journey very early in high school as a watercolor artist and illustrator. Then switched to acrylics but somehow neither was fulfilling enough. I had the urge to build things. It started with dollhouses out of cardboard then handmade books. Someone gifted me a book on how to make a paper bowl. As an experimenter she says she had to try it immediately. It turned out perfect. Fast forward to when my daughters were about 4 and 5 years old, she came up with the idea of letting them tear old newspapers and sorting them just to keep them out of mischief. It was then the idea returned to use that paper to make more bowls. Most of her work sold to cruise ship passengers that visited her island home.
She's made all sorts of weird little things out of paper including lizards, angels, fairy houses, fruit with eyes and legs. The possibilities are endless with paper. Kelly understands paper very well, like how any craftsman/woman understands any of their tools. She's also taken a paper making class at a factory in Japan, which was amazing but also sealed her love for working with paper.
Nik Izyan
Nik is a mom of one, a former business process specialist turned paper florist. Her love for this craft started over two years ago when she decided to try making her own flowers as an alternative to the expensive fresh flowers available in Qatar. This art form soon became one of her great loves.
She is inspired by nature and is constantly looking for ways to re create them using paper. Her flowers are made from carefully sourced materials that are hand-cut, hand shaped and constructed with great love and care.
Grace is a Venezuelan Journalist, who has found her true love in Patchwork and Quilting. She enjoys expressing herself and sharing her "Latin flavor" thought fabrics and colors. Throughout her crafty career, she has taught both children and adults how to sew and quilt, quilted for others, and even owns her own business: Handy and Crafty.
Since 2008, Grace has been living in Qatar and has been teaching her art to children and adults.In her workshops, students learn many Patchwork and Quilting techniques commonly referred to as traditional piecing, foundation paper piecing, curved piecing, strip piecing, English paper piecing, machine and hand appliqué, thread sketching, straight quilting, and free motion quilting.

Spartan Jugs is a fitness enthusiast must have.
If you find that the average water bottle just doesn't carry enough water for the whole day, then the Spartan Jugs 2.2 litre bpa free water bottle is for you!
It's the second largest solid water bottle in our range, made from lightweight BPA Free Tritan plastic. It comes standard with a stainless steel cap which is attached and the moulded handle is large enough for any hand.
The BPA free plastic is a non porous, glass like material and provides clear fresh water with no leaching of that plastic taste.
These bottles can be used and re-used over and over without any issues of plastic breakdown.
Big mouth opening make it easy to load up with your amino's for training or throughout the day.
Perfect for training or just getting your hydration in throughout the day.
These are a big bottle so we'd recommend treating them with care to avoid cracking. Being that they hold so much liquid they can become quite fragile if dropped.
For cleaning simply add some detergent and warm water to clean and sanitise them.
This is a must have accessory for every serious lifter in the gym.
If you're serious about training, you better get yourself a couple Spartan Jugs.

It seemed easy enough to make, requires very few ingredients and the results or so pretty. Want to make some?
You can use lemons, limes, oranges or grapefruit. Grapefruit rind is thicker and may require longer cooking.
Cut the lemons. I used two lemons and cut them down into rings and then strips. Remove the pith (the white part inside the peel). to make removing the pith easier, boil the peels for 10 minutes.
Remove the peels and rinse in cold water. Scrap the pith from the peel with a spoon. It should come off very easily if you boiled them.
Once the pith is removed, you're ready to boil the lemon strips in sugar syrup. For each cup of rind, mix 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Put the rinds in the syrup and cook slowly until almost all the syrup is gone. I didn't stir the rinds but just left them to simmer. The timing will depend on how much syrup you prepared. I made the 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water mixture and cooked my rinds for a little over an hour. Just keep an eye on your pot.
Once most of the syrup is absorbed, spoon out your rinds and let them cool and dry on a paper towel. They won't actually dry completely, they're very sticky at this point.
Once cooled, coat the rinds in granulated sugar. Store in an airtight container.
You can use the candied citrus peel to garnish desserts, add to tea or just eat for a refreshing sweet treat.
I started with a cup of tea but wouldn't they be pretty on top of a lemon cupcake with simple white frosting. Yum.
I made this handy recipe card for you if you'd like to grab it and make some.
These are beautiful. I just want to gaze at the sugary covered goodness!!
My dad loved this and my grandmother would make it for him frequently. I've never tried it but I'm sure I'd love it since citrus flavors appeal to me.
How do you make the lemon peels look so pretty!!! Thank you for the recipe, I must try this!
How long will they keep? Should they be stored in the refrigerator?
Keep them in an airtight container and they'll keep like any sugar coated gummy candy. Enjoy!

NASA's Johnson Space Center has served as a hub of human spaceflight activity for more than half a century. As the nucleus of the nation's astronaut corps and home to International Space Station mission operations and a host of future space developments, the center plays a pivotal role in surpassing the physical boundaries of Earth and enhancing technological and scientific knowledge to benefit all of humankind.
Established in 1961 on nearly 1,700 acres southeast of downtown Houston as the Manned Spacecraft Center, the bustling core of space activity was renamed in 1973 to honor the late president and Texas native, Lyndon B. Johnson. From the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and Space Shuttle Programs to the International Space Station and Orion, Johnson's nearly 14,000 person workforce helps bolster NASA's standing as an institution where creative and talented problem solvers push the boundaries of explorations innovation.
Every one of the more than 500 NASA astronauts and space explorers from our international partners who has crossed the threshold of the International Space Station or flown on the space shuttle has trained at Johnson. In the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility, astronauts, engineers and other mission support professionals learn skills and procedures to operate the orbiting laboratory on full-scale modules. In facilities around the 200-plus building center, a precision air-bearing floor, a partial gravity simulator and a virtual reality simulator, among other training facilities, prepare astronauts to live and work in microgravity. At Johnson's satellite facilities close to the center, they maintain their flying skills in T-38 jets and practice spacewalks at the Neutral Buoyancy Lab.
NASA missions that explore new frontiers and expand understanding of how humans live and work in space are planned and supported from the Christopher C. Kraft, Jr. Mission Control Center. A host of engineers, scientists and mathematicians help the men and women living in low Earth orbit utilize the space station to its fullest capabilities, test new technologies, and sustain the life of the orbiting laboratory through 2020. Some of the agency's experts in human spaceflight work with private companies to develop safe, reliable and affordable commercial vehicles to transport humans and cargo to low Earth orbit.

The National Space Biomedical Research Institute, based in Houston and funded by NASA, began funding research for Harvard University researchers to design Palm software to help astronauts monitor and assess their cognitive functioning. The MiniCog Rapid Assessment Battery (MRAB) was licensed by the Criteria Corporation in Los Angeles and adapted for Web-based employment testing. The test battery assesses nine different cognitive functions and can gauge the effect of stress-related deficits, such as fatigue, on various tasks. The MRAB can be used not only for pre-employment testing but also for repeat administrations to measure day-to-day job readiness in professions where alertness is critical.

Whale Identification
R:BASE for DOS, a computer program developed under NASA contract, has been adapted by the National Marine Mammal Laboratory and the College of the Atlantic to provide and advanced computerized photo matching technique for identification of humpback whales. The program compares photos with stored digitized descriptions, enabling researchers to track and determine distribution and migration patterns. R:BASE is a spinoff of RIM (Relational Information Manager), which was used to store data for analyzing heat shielding tiles on the Space Shuttle Orbiter. It is now the world's second largest selling line of microcomputer database management software.
A technology utilization project led to the commercial adaptation of a Space Shuttle Orbiter wireless infrared voice communications system. The technology was adapted to a LAN system by Wilton Industries, one of the participants. Because the system is cable-free, installation charges are saved, and it can be used where cable is impractical. Resultant products include the IRplex 6000. Transceivers can be located anywhere and can include mobile receivers. The system provides wireless LAN coverage up to 44,000 square feet. Applications include stock exchange communications, trade shows, emergency communications, etc.
Wood Products Analysis
Structural Reliability Consultants' computer program creates graphic plots showing the statistical parameters of glue laminated timbers, or glulam." The company president Dr. Joseph Murphy read in NASA Tech Briefs about work related to analysis of Space Shuttle surface tile strength performed for Johnson Space Center by Rockwell International Corporation. Analysis led to a theory of "consistent tolerance bounds" for statistical distributions applicable in industrial testing where statistical analysis can influence product development and use. Dr. Murphy then obtained the Tech Support Package that covers the subject in greater detail. The TSP became the basis for Dr. Murphy's computer program PC-DATA which he is marketing commercially."
Workplace Design
The Anthropometric Source Book was developed based on Johnson Space Center project of anthropometry, the study of the size, shape and motion characteristics of the human body. Designed primarily for use by NASA, the military services and aerospace contractors, the book was also intended to help non-aerospace engineers, architects, and others engaged in design of clothing, equipment and workplaces. An example of its use by Eastman Kodak Company is the company's application of the data to design efficient, productive and comfortable workplaces for employees in the Rochester, NY processing laboratories. The sourcebook was used to determine such dimensions as leg space, work surface height and thickness, employee reach distances, proper height for computer terminal screen, seat height and knee space.
Wrap-Around Worlds
Flogiston Corporation was included in Spinoff 1992 for its stress reducing chair based on data from NASA's Anthropometric Source Book. Now, under a NASA SBIR, Flogiston developed a new form of immersion in virtual and video spaces called Neutral Immersion. The technology is called Flostation and is the commercial spinoff from the astronaut training system. Motorola purchased the first Flostation for testing and demonstrating a new warping chip it is developing.

Cerebral arteriovenous malformations in the era of embolization for angiographic cure: a single-center experience in Egypt
Mohamed K Elewa1
Embolization for cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) has evolved in the last decade with evolution in both equipment and material. Embolization targets have expanded to include angiographic cure.
To discuss the technical and management outcomes of our first cerebral AVM case series treated with embolization. The clinical, angiographic, treatment, and outcome variables of consecutive cerebral arteriovenous malformation cases, treated with curative embolization, between January 2011 and June 2017 in one regional center, were retrospectively analyzed.
In 21 patients, 21 AVMs were identified, and 13 patients (61.9%) were males. The mean of the age was 34.24 ± 12.99. Fifteen patients (71.4%) had a history of intracranial hemorrhage, and 10 (47.6%) patients had seizures. Sixteen patients (76.2%) were at grade 1 of modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at admission. The median for modal Spetzler-Martin grade was 2. The average number of arterial feeders was 3. Direct arteriovenous fistulas were found in 4 cases (19.0%). Venous aneurysms were found in 4 cases (19.0%). Seventeen AVMs (80.9%) were considered high bleeding risk lesions. Forty-three embolization sessions were done. Early hemorrhage occurred in 3 sessions (7.0%). Vessel perforation occurred 1 session (2.3%). Poor outcome occurred in 1 patient that was discharged at grade 3 mRS. Angiographic cure was achieved in 9 patients (42.9%). The average size reduction was 65%.
Onyx embolization could serve as a curative option for AVM treatment with accepted morbidity and mortality.
Over the past decades, the target of embolization has evolved, starting as preoperative embolization to facilitate AVM resection (Crowley et al. 2014). Although it is not approved yet by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), pre-radiosurgical embolization is performed to eliminate high-risk features or to reduce nidal size (Pierot et al. 2013a). With evolution in both materials [e.g., ethylene-vinyl alcohol co-polymer (EVOH)] and techniques, the indications for endovascular embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) have expanded to include curative embolization (Mounayer et al. 2007; Panagiotopoulos et al. 2009).
Despite the wide variety of the embolic agents that can be used, only few agents are commonly used [n-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA), ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) (Onyx) (Covidien/ev3, Plymoth, Massachusetts, USA), and, to a lesser extent, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles] (Vaidya et al. 2008). Glue (NBCA) has several privileges, including the immediate complete permanent vascular occlusion. Unfortunately, it requires high degree of experience for its proper use. Several complications can occur, including catheter entrapment (Debrun et al. 1997), distal spread, and proximal reflux beyond the intended location of the injection. Onyx (EVOH) in comparison to NBCA is less thrombogenic with minimal inflammatory reaction, since there is no protein denaturation (Duffner et al. 2002; Vinters et al. 1985). The major advantage of Onyx is the non-adhesive nature, which allows longer injection time, with the ability to perform control angiography when needed. Despite the non-adhesive nature of Onyx, still there is a risk of catheter entrapment due to reflux around the catheter tip. This article reported our experience in the treatment of cerebral AVMs using Onyx mainly. Our policy was to use embolization as a curative option whenever possible.
A retrospective review of all consecutive patients who had underwent endovascular embolization for cerebral AVM between January 2011 and June 2017 in Suez Insurance Hospital was performed. Twenty-one AVMs in 21 patients were included in the current study. All patients were fulfilling the following inclusion criteria: ruptured or unruptured AVM (either symptomatic or discovered accidently) with high bleeding risk due to small size (< 3 cm), deep venous drainage, and/or associated aneurysm (Fig. 1). Patients with recent intracranial hemorrhage were postponed for at least 1 month (hematomas may interfere with good angiographic assessment) (Pierot et al. 2013b). They were considered for neurosurgical opinion, in case of intraventricular hemorrhage or hemorrhage that cause mass effect; otherwise, a conservative therapy was implemented. None of those patients developed rebleeding with these conservative measures (Reitz et al. 2016).

All patients underwent clinical assessment and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) before and after all embolization sessions and during follow-ups, and before treatment, all AVMs were assessed by six-vessel digital subtraction cerebral angiography (DSCA) according to their eloquent site, nidus type, presence of fistulas, feeding arteries and draining veins, number of the main feeders, presence of aneurysms, and presence of venous stenosis. Spetzler-Martin grading (Spetzler and Martin 1986) was identified for all AVMs. Eloquent areas were identified according to Pollock and Flickinger's (2002) definition: frontal and temporal (not invading the speech centers and motor strip) are non-eloquent; fronto-parietal, speech, parietal, occipital, intraventricular, corpus callosum, and cerebellar are intermediate; and basal ganglia, internal capsule, thalamic, and brain stem are considered eloquent. After the last embolization session, a follow-up angiography was performed 3 months later, except when other treatment modality is needed, follow-up DSA was performed after 1 month. A "poor" outcome was defined as a mRS score of 3–6 at discharge. Cure was defined as angiographic complete obliteration of the AVM nidus with disappearance of early veins.
Technique of intervention and periprocedural management
All procedures were carried out under general anesthesia, without provocative testing (Amytal), via femoral puncture. Six-vessel DSCA was done for all patients. Systemic heparinization was done once the endovascular therapy was decided. Then, selective catheterization of the target vessel (either the internal carotid or the vertebral artery) was done using 6F guiding catheter (Guider Softip, Boston Scientific, Natick, MA, USA). Then, the AVM angio-architectural characteristics were studied. Using coaxial system [DMSO compatible microcatheter with detachable tip, Apollo (eV3, Inc., Irvine, California) or Sonic (Balt, Montmorency, France) and 0.008 micro-guidewire, Mirage (eV3, Inc., Irvine, California)], the pathway to the AVM was navigated, then one of the AVM feeders was selectively catheterized, and the tip of the microcatheter was placed as close as possible to the nidus (most distal part of the arterial contribution). Then, an angiographic series was taken through the microcatheter to study the AVM architecture, adjust the microcatheter position for safe reflux (before the detachment mark), and adjust the angiographic projection for better visualization of the proximal part of the draining veins. Micro-angiography was useful also in evaluation of the flow state before embolization. In normal follow state, we used Onyx 18. The Onyx vials were placed on a shaker for at least 20 min to obtain a homogeneous solution before use. Then, Onyx 18 and DMSO were prepared in two different 1-mL Leur-Lock syringes. The dead space of the microcatheter was filled with DMSO before the injection of Onyx. Onyx was injected slowly (0.1 mL/min) under free-flow condition and on subtracted fluoroscopy. The initial target was to form a cast of Onyx reflux, over a short distance of the catheter tip. In case of reflux, Onyx injection was stopped, and after 60 s, another slow injection was started under a new subtracted road map fluoroscopy. If there was forward expansion of Onyx, the injection was continued; if reflux occurs or there was expansion to veins, the injection was stopped again. The cycle was repeated patiently until there was no forward advancement into the nidus and reflux was repeatedly the result of the injection. When necessary, the same was repeated for other feeders. Towards complete occlusion of the AVM nidus, Onyx was progressively allowed to enter the veins but with frequent pauses to redirect Onyx into the remaining parts of the nidus, even in retrograde fashion to different arterial feeders. Even when angiography showed complete occlusion of the AVM, Onyx was injected to completely occlude the proximal part of the draining veins, until reflux into the feeders prevents further Onyx injection. Before removal of the microcatheter, Onyx was aspirated. Then, by applying slowly increasing and decreasing traction tension in cycles, the microcatheter can be released from the cast. For high-flow fistulas (NBCA), Histoacryl (B. Braun Melsungen AG, Melsungen, Germany) was used. We used highly concentrated glue diluted with lipiodol (ranged from 50 to 70%), injected in rapid short injection. The next embolization sessions were scheduled with at least 1-month intervals. After angiographic cure, a follow-up angiography was performed after 3 months. In case of AVM nidal remnants not suitable for embolization, patients were sent for radiosurgery.
Data were analyzed using Statistical Program for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0. (SPSS, Chicago, IL). Quantitative data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Qualitative data were expressed as frequency and percentage. The χ2 of significance was used to compare proportions between two qualitative features. In all tests, P value less than 0.05 was considered significant, P value less than 0.001 was considered highly significant, and P value greater than 0.05 was considered nonsignificant.
Patients were assigned to treatment between January 2011 and June 2017. Thirteen patients (61.9%) were males. The range of the age was 9–61 years, while the mean of the age was 34.24 ± 12.99. Hypertension was the most prevalent risk factor in 2 patients (9.5%). Fifteen patients (71.4%) had a history of intracranial hemorrhage, 10 patients (47.6%) had a history of seizures, and 4 patients (19.0%) were complaining of chronic headache. Regarding modified Rankin Scale, 16 patients (76.2%) were at grade 1, 4 patients (19.0%) were at grade 2, and 1 patient (4.8%) was at grade 3 (Table 1).
Table 1 Primary clinical assessment
Among 21 patients, 21 AVMs were identified. According to their sites, 9 AVMs (42.9%) were frontal, 7 AVMs (33.3%) were parietal, 3 AVMs (14.3%) were temporal, and 2 AVMs (9.5%) were occipital. The range of the total number of feeders was 1–8, while the median was 3. Four AVMs were associated with direct arteriovenous fistula. Four AVMs (19.0%) were associated with venous aneurysms. Thirteen AVMs (61.9%) were < 3 cm in size, 7 AVMs (33.3%) were > 3 and < 6 cm, and 1 AVM (4.8%) was > 6 cm. Fourteen AVMs (66.7%) were present in eloquent site. Five AVMs (23.8%) had deep venous drainage (not-exclusive) (Fig. 2). Regarding Spetzler-Martin grading, the median was 2. Seventeen AVMs (80.9%) were classified as high bleeding risk lesions (small AVMs, associated aneurysm, and/or deep venous drainage) (Table 2).

Table 2 Angiographic assessment
Forty-three embolization sessions, with a total of 59 feeders in 21 AVMs, were embolized, in attempt to treat 21 AVMs in 21 patients. Early hemorrhage occurred in 3 sessions (7.0%) for 2 patients (9.5%); all were treated conservatively with good functional recovery. In 1 patient with recurrent early postoperative hemorrhage, venous outflow obstruction was assumed to be the cause of the recurrent event; in the other patient, no obvious cause was identified. Vessel perforation occurred once and was treated immediately intra-operatively with onyx with no adverse clinical consequences. At discharge, only 2 patients were at grade 3 mRS (one of them was already on grade 3 on admission). The average size reduction was 65% with a range of 5–100%. Angiographic cure was achieved in 9 patients (42.9%). The mean of the time to angiographic cure was 2.11 ± 1.45 months; the range was 0–4 months. The mean of the follow-up duration was 45.52 ± 20.27 months, while the range was 2–78 months (Table 3).
Table 3 Operative data and outcome
In attempt to identify factors that were associated with angiographic cure, a comparison between totally occluded AVMs (angiographic cure) and partially occluded AVMs regarding the site, total number of feeders, size, eloquent site, and deep venous drainage was done. Only eloquent site of the AVM was found to be significantly associated with partial occlusion (Table 4).
Table 4 Comparison between totally occluded AVMs and partially occluded AVMs
The target of brain AVM treatment is to eliminate the risk of bleeding. This target could be achieved by complete occlusion of AVM. Various options are available (embolization, surgery, and radiosurgery) either alone or in combination. Embolization usually used as the first step in treatment plan, but in two different strategies. In the first strategy, the target is to achieve occlusion as much as possible before thinking in other options. The second strategy is to use embolization to prepare the patient to other modality of treatment. In the current study, we used the first strategy whenever possible.
A recent meta-analysis showed that the average cure rate for all NBCA-used studies was 13.7%. The cure rate increased to 24% in a subgroup analysis (387 patients) for studies conducted after the year 2000 (Elsenousi et al. 2016). Valavanis and Yaşargil (1998) embolized 7.7 feeders per AVM using NBCA with a cure rate of 40%. On the other hand, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) (Onyx; eV3-Covedien, Irvine, California, USA) average cure rate was 30.5% in all studies, and 30.1% in the studies that did not use detachable microcatheters (Elsenousi et al. 2016a). The BRAVO trial was a European prospective multicenter trial to assess the safety and efficacy of Onyx. It showed 23.5% complete occlusion rate using onyx (Pierot et al. 2013b). Meanwhile, the range of complete occlusion rates in published case series was 8.3–53.9% (Pierot et al. 2013b). In the current study, complete occlusion was achieved in 9 patients (42.9%), this cure rate is similar to the previously quieted figures, and this high cure rate could be explained by the prior intention to completely occlude the lesion whenever possible, the use of Oynx with detachable tip catheters which permit longer injection time, and the use of staged approach. With case selection, van Rooij et al. (2012) reported achievement of cure for all the selected patient (24 patients) using Onyx without morbidity or mortality; also, de Castro-Afonso et al. (2016) reported (91.3%) cure rate in their selected AVM pediatric patients (23 patients) with (13%, 3 patients) procedure-related complications, yet without significant morbidity or mortality.
A new trend of embolization of brain AVMs with intent to angiographic cure was noticed. In some centers, curative embolization is offered to selected patients (van Rooij et al. 2012; de Castro-Afonso et al. 2016). This trend was encouraged by the expansion of the use of Onyx. This was reflected by higher cure rates of onyx compared with glue, but this was claimed to be associated with worse neurological outcomes. On the other hand, NBCA showed higher cure rates with time also, but without increase in poor neurological outcome. The assumption that the introduction of detachable microcatheter was associated with better neurological outcome was not supported by the results of meta-analysis. This may be explained by the fact that the use of the detachable microcatheters was associated with more aggressive Onyx embolization that may lead to venous occlusion and hemorrhagic complications (Elsenousi et al. 2016). It seems that the results of meta-analysis in this area should not be generalized, as it depends on operator experience which is variable, and cautious slow controlled injections that avoid the draining veins can minimize the procedural risk even in eloquent locations with longer injection time especially with the use of detachable tip microcatheters.
A meta-analysis showed that poor neurological outcomes for glue and Onyx embolization were 5.2 and 6.8%, respectively. When the results for patients embolized with Onyx using detachable catheters were excluded, poor outcome associated with Onyx embolization increased to 7.1% (Elsenousi et al. 2016). The BRAVO trial showed that Onyx embolization is associated with 4.3% mortality and 5.1% morbidity (Pierot et al. 2013b). The range of hemorrhagic complication in published case series was 4.0–12.2% while the range of mortality and morbidity was 0.0–3.2 and 3.5–15.5%, respectively (Pierot et al. 2013b). In the current study, early hemorrhage occurred in 3 sessions out of 43 sessions (7.0%) for 2 patients (9.5%). Only 2 patients (9.5%) were at grade 3 mRS at discharge (one of them was already on grade 3 on admission) which goes in line with the previously published data.
In our series, 17 AVMs (80.9%) were classified as high bleeding risk lesions. Thirteen AVMs (61.9%) were < 3 cm in size, 5 AVMs (23.8%) had deep venous drainage (not-exclusive), and 4 AVMs (19.0%) were associated with venous aneurysms. Crawford et al. (1986) described that 7% of the AVMs were associated with aneurysms and 75% of these aneurysms located on the major feeder vessels. AVM-associated aneurysms tend to present 10 years later than AVMs (Ondra et al. 1990). D'Aliberti et al. in their series found that the different types of AVM-associated aneurysms had different bleeding risk. The bleeding risk of the unrelated type and the remote flow-related type should be considered almost the same as any else unruptured aneurysm, where the INSUIA parameters were applicable. On the other hand, the adjacent flow-related type and the venous type carried higher bleeding risk (D'Aliberti et al. 2015). Choi et al. (2005) had suggested that AVMs with deep or infratentorial location, single or few draining veins, venous stenosis, and intranidal aneurysms may had increased risk of bleeding. Guo et al. (1995) found that small AVMs (< 3 cm) carried higher risk of bleeding. Meanwhile, deep venous drainage was found to be independent risk factor for AVM bleeding (Stapf et al. 2006). Although infratentorial AVM in adults account for only 7 to 15% of all brain AVMs, it was found to be an independent risk factor for bleeding; the bleeding rates were high up to 92% (Arnaout et al. 2009; Khaw et al. 2004; Westphal and Grzyska 2000).
The average age at presentation in this study was 34 years, which was in keeping with the previously quoted figure of 33 years (Ondra et al. 1990). In a recent meta-analysis for the outcome of embolization of cerebral AVMs, the mean for patients' age was 35.8 and 35 years in the glue and Onyx groups, respectively (Elsenousi et al. 2016). AVMs were known to show male predominance, which went in the same direction with the current study findings [13 patients (61.9%) were males] (Ondra et al. 1990).
In the current series, 15 patients (71.4%) had a history of intracranial hemorrhage, 10 patients (47.6%) had a history of seizures, and 4 patients (19.0%) were complaining of chronic headache. In a meta-analysis, hemorrhage was the presenting symptom in 47% of patients in the glue and 41.5% of patients in the Onyx group. Epileptic seizures were the presenting symptom in 28% of the glue group and in 33% of the Onyx group (Elsenousi et al. 2016). Hemorrhagic presentation accounted for 50–61% of cases (Drake 1979; Perret and Nishioka 1966). AVM bleeding was associated with neurological deficit in 30–50% of cases only (Hetts et al. 2014). The high rate of bleeding as a presenting event in our series could be explained by the fact that 17 AVMs (80.9%) were classified as high bleeding risk lesions or due to small size of the sample. An association between age and the incidence of seizures was described by Crawford et al. (1986), with a seizure risk 44% in patients aged 10–19 years, 31% in patients aged 20–29 years, and 6% risk in patients aged 30–60 years.
Interventional treatment of AVMs is generally accepted; the annual risk of bleeding is 2–4%, which occurs over time, with high lifetime risk of bleeding that can result in morbidity or mortality (Young et al. 2015). The ARUBA (a randomized trial for unruptured brain arteriovenous malformation) has challenged this concept. The study concluded that medical treatment alone is better than interventional options, for prevention of stroke or death in patients with unruptured brain AVMs (Mohr et al. 2014). Despite the importance of the study, criticism to its design and follow-up duration undermined the value of its conclusion (Russin and Spetzler 2014). The poor outcome in the intervention arm of ARUBA trial is 30%, which is much higher than what was reported in a meta-analysis (5.2% for NBCA and 6.8% for EVOH) (Elsenousi et al. 2016); on the other hand, this poor outcome is also higher than the published rates of poor outcome for surgical resection of AVMs (0.34–2.2% in grades I–II) (Spetzler and Martin 1986; 2013). It was not clear how much of the poor outcome was related to surgical resection, embolization, or delayed hemorrhage from partially embolized AVM. On the other hand, a curative embolization with Onyx with high cure rates as recently published (van Rooij et al. 2012; de Castro-Afonso et al. 2016) that was associated with low morbidity and mortality (< 10%) may serve as a good treatment option. A low complication rate (< 10%) is lower than the complication rate of the medical arm of the ARUBA trial (Mohr et al. 2014). Six patients (28.57%) in our case series had unruptured AVM. Embolization treatment was considered for these cases due to the presence of high bleeding risk criteria of these AVMs.
In the current study, we used the staged approach in AVMs with multiple feeders. Despite that the value of this approach was debated, we thought it was associated with less hemorrhagic complications (Mounayer et al. 2007). This approach allowed smooth normalization of hemodynamics and prevented extensive venous thrombosis. The use of NBCA (glue) was limited to high flow fistulas in 4 patients (19.0%), where we thought it was more simple and effective method.
We compared between patients who achieved angiographic cure and patients who had partial occlusion. The comparison included the site, the total number of feeders, the size, the presence in eloquent site, and the presence of deep venous drainage. Only the presence of AVM in eloquent site was significantly associated with partial occlusion. This finding was logic, but we thought that larger sample size of study was needed to identify more factors that were associated with angiographic cure.
We think that curative embolization should be offered for selected cases based on certain criteria that need further research. For the cases that are not fulfilling these criteria, embolization should be offered as preparing step for other modality of treatment. For curative embolization, the AVM should be small sized (< 3 cm), supplied by one vascular territory, with feeders that can tolerate reflux up to 2–3 cm, with clear proximal parts of the draining veins, and not located in deep structure or brain stem (van Rooij et al. 2012).
Onyx embolization could serve as a curative option with accepted morbidity and mortality. Understanding the angio-architectural characteristics of the treated AVM could help in better differentiation between lesions suitable for curative Onyx embolization, and those non-suitable for curative embolization, with fewer treated feeders and high occlusion rate. Good selection of intranidal catheter tip position with slow, controlled injections that avoid the draining veins can minimize the procedural risk even in eloquent locations.
Several limitations should be considered in the current study: the retrospective nature, the potential patient selection for treatment bias, the small size of the sample, the absence of other modalities of interventional treatment, and the lack of cases that were treated on emergency basis.

Inside Kenny Rogers' $3.5M Georgia Farm Which Has Inspired Much of His Music


Yesterday was a great day. I made a deal with a new client that I've been working on for over a month. I was so excited I did a happy dance in my living room, which Evelyn (and probably my neighbours) found hysterical. Giddy, I decided to buy a little bottle of something to celebrate. At the store, I found myself subconsciously gravitating to the Rosés. It occurred to me, I've been all about Rosé this summer so why not talk about some of my favourites?
I have been raving about this Rosé since I first tried it. Funnily enough, it was actually the first wine I tried when I started this whole Rosé kick. I purchased it on the recommendation of a staff member and after the first sip I was in love.
Les Fleurs du Mal has a feminine, peach-blush tone to it and a lovely floral scent. For me, it strikes the perfect balance between sweet and full-bodied. Each mouthful is sock-full of berries but it's not an overly sweet Rosé. It pairs well with pretty much everything I've tried so far, and is also a wonderful stand-alone sipper. Plus that bottle? Heellloooo! I know you shouldn't judge a book (or a wine) by its cover, but the label of this French beauty is, well, just that. Beautiful.
It's a widely available wine, here in BC you can get it at our BC Liquor Stores and Everything Wine. It'll run you $14-$15 a bottle, which is totally reasonable. I recommend trying your first bottle by yourself because, if you're anything like me, once you have your first glass you'll want the whole bottle.
I first picked up a bottle of this wine on a whim. A Portuguese Rosé? I was intrigued. Maybe I'm showing my ignorance here, but Portugal is not the first place I think of when I think Rosé.
I was pleasantly surprised with this little gem though. It is full-on pink in colour and has a very surprising bubbly texture. It's not a sparkling wine, but there is an unmistakable fizz to it. I find the Tiroliro lighter in flavour than Les Fleurs du Mal. And, even though they have a similar sweetness level, I find the Tiroliro to be much more tart and acidic.
Still, it's a delightfully tangy little sipper. The tartness actually works better when paired with appetizers or after dinner, rather than having it as a dinner wine. I also recommend letting it breathe a bit before diving in; a little time helps mellow out the tartness and lets it settle into a very nice drink.
A bottle costs $13 and is also available in BC Liquor stores.
This is a great wine if you're looking for quantity on a budget. It's actually my favourite Rosé to make sangria with (watch for my favourite recipe in an upcoming post). Not going to lie, the price is what first attracted me to this wine. At $13.50 for a 1.5 L bottle, you can't really beat the value.
This Rosé is PINK; in fact it's damned near neon. It's got a really light and juicy flavour though, and it's a little sweeter than the other wines I've recommended here. You can really taste green apples and ripe berries in this wine, which reminds me of warm summer nights in the Okanagan. It also makes it a perfect wine for sangria because every fruit you add just enhances the flavours already there.
As far as food pairings go, this wine can accompany pretty much anything. The only thing I might avoid is pairing it with dessert. I think that because this Rosé is so juicy and it is a little on the sweet side, drinking it with dessert would just be overkill.
It's available at BC Liquor Stores as well as lots of other off-sales stores.


But the performance of the sector has historically been low. Cereal yields are significantly below the global average. Modern farm inputs, including improved seeds, mechanisation and irrigation, are severely limited.
Africa is choking its own economic future.
In the past, agriculture was seen as the domain of the humanitarian development sector, as a way to manage poverty. It was not seen as a business sector for wealth creation. Yet Africa has huge potential in agriculture – and with it huge investment potential. Some 65% of all the uncultivated arable land left in the world lies in Africa. When Africa manages to feed itself, as – within a generation – it will, it will also be able to to feed the 9 billion people who will inhabit the planet in 2050.
However, Africa is wasting vast amounts of money and resources by underrating its agriculture sector. For example, it spends $35 billion in foreign currency annually importing food, a figure that is set to rise to over $100 billion per year by 2030.
In so doing, Africa is choking its own economic future. It is importing the food that it should be growing itself. It is exporting, often to developed countries, the jobs it needs to keep and nurture. It also has to pay inflated prices resulting from global commodity supply fluctuations.
The food and agribusiness sector is projected to grow from $330 billion today to $1 trillion by 2030, and remember that there will also be 2 billion people looking for food and clothing. African enterprises and investors need to convert this opportunity and unlock this potential for Africa and Africans.
Africa must start by treating agriculture as a business. It must learn fast from experiences elsewhere, for example in south east Asia, where agriculture has been the foundation for fast-paced economic growth, built on a strong food processing and agro-industrial manufacturing base.
Africa must not miss opportunities for such linkages whenever and wherever they occur. We must reduce food system losses all along the food chain, from the farm, storage, transport, processing and retail marketing.
To drive agro-industrialization, we must be able to finance the sector. Doing so will help unlock the potential of agriculture as a business on the continent. Under its Feed Africa strategy, the African Development Bank will invest $24 billion in agriculture and agribusiness over the next ten years. This is a 400% increase in financing, from the current levels of $600 million per year.
A key component will be providing $700 million to a flagship program known as "Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation" for the scaling up of agricultural technologies to reach millions of farmers in Africa in the next ten years.
Finance and farming have not always been easy partners in Africa. Another pillar of the Bank's strategy is to accelerate commercial financing for agriculture. Despite its importance, the agriculture sector receives less than 3% of the overall industry financing provided by the banking sector.
As agricultural income rises, neglected rural areas will become zones of economic prosperity.
Risk sharing instruments may resolve this, by sharing the risk of lending by commercial banks to the agriculture sector. Development finance institutions and multilateral development banks should be setting up national risk-sharing facilities in every African country to leverage agricultural finance. And the African Development Bank is setting the pace based on a very successful risk sharing scheme that I promoted while Agriculture Minister in Nigeria.
Rural infrastructure development is critical for the transformation of the agriculture sector, including electricity, water, roads and rail to transport finished agricultural and processed foods.
The lack of this infrastructure drives up the cost of doing business and has discouraged food manufacturing companies from getting established in rural areas. Governments should provide fiscal and infrastructure incentives for food manufacturing companies to move into rural areas, closer to zones of production than consumption.
This can be achieved by developing agro-industrial zones and staple crop processing zones in rural areas. These zones, supported with consolidated infrastructure, including roads, water, electricity and perhaps suitable accommodation, will drive down the cost of doing business for private food and agribusiness firms.
They will create new markets for farmers, boosting economic opportunities in rural areas, stimulating jobs and attracting higher domestic and foreign investments into the rural areas. This will drive down the cost of doing business, as well as significantly reduce the high level of African post-harvest losses. As agricultural income rises, neglected rural areas will become zones of economic prosperity.
Our goal is simple: to support massive agro-industrial development all across Africa. When that happens, Africa will have taken its rightful place as a global powerhouse in food production. It could well also be feeding the world. At this point the economic transformation that we are all working for will be complete.
Dr Akinwumi Adesina is President of the African Development Bank. The 2017 AfDB Annual Meetings in Ahmedabad, India, 22-26 May, will focus on 'Transforming agriculture for wealth creation in Africa'.
