I remember writing in my journal after one of our sessions, that I felt as though I'd been living in a house with dirty windows my entire life, and that for the first time, someone had come in and cleaned those windows. I could actually see out now! Everything looked and felt completely different. Merril's work is a true gift to the world, and I'm so grateful that God brought him across my path. I know that countless people will find freedom here, just like I have.Dr Kirsten Cloete (M.Chiro)

This book is a collection of writings by multiple members of the UNITAR Hiroshima Fellowship for Afghanistan (AF), covering the period since the inception of the Fellowship in 2003, till the present day. The imperative to share this story became even more critical in the wake of the events of August 2021 in Afghanistan, and the return of the Taliban to power. It seemed essential to document the unique 15-year Hiroshima Fellowship, and to learn from the challenges and accomplishments of an Afghan-driven international development effort, before the recollections were lost.Part of the UNITAR Afghan Fellowship Legacy Projects (AFLP) the book has brought together authors from among the 500 alumni, mentors, faculty members, partners, and UNITAR staff, who took part and here share their experiences and analysis of the Fellowship over the years - its unique structure, its philosophy and modus operandi, its particular emphasis on building, and sustaining, a community of professionals and international mentors.Each chapter tells a what, why, and how story, lessons learned, impressions or reminisces of the Fellows' learning and projects during many training cycles. The collection examines the diversity of Afghanistan through the Fellows' personal stories - their transformations, dreams, and concerns for themselves and for their country. It details the journeys of the mentors, resource persons and international partners, whose lives were transformed by proximity with the Afghans and their aspirations. It also sheds light on the Fellowship's special connections with Hiroshima and Japan.This is a compelling human story, of different people coming together from around the world to solve problems and initiate solutions together - regardless of language, cultural barriers, and technological challenges. It is a story which can upend the current discourses about Afghanistan and shed some light on the oft-repeated question of the recent past - "Was it all a waste?" This is a critical reflection for future development and humanitarian interventions.

It is a common practice to describe the anatomy of the Arterio-venous malformations (AVM) with reference to adult anatomy. The arterial feeders and the venous sinuses into which the arterialised blood drains are easily identifiable. However the arterialised venous channels extending between the arteries and the dural sinuses are just described as "abnormal venous channels". These AVMs occur due to developmental anomalies in the embryos. It is possible to identify these vessels. These structures normally disappear during the course of development, as they become atritic due to diversion of blood away from them. In the presence of an AVM, these vessels persist because of the abnormal flow created by the fistula. This publication demonstrates the method of identification of these segmental vessels. It is possible to deduct the anatomy if the formations of these malformations are followed through the various stages of the development of the embryo. Knowledge of embryology is not necessary to identify the persistent segmental veins. Padget proposed that accidental defects between the primitive embryonic segmental pial vessels produce these Arterio-venous fistulae. This concept is developed to logically deduce the anatomy. It is not possible to demonstrate all the possible variations. The reader is provided with the methodology that will lead to the identification of the anatomy. The flow pattern in an AVM is unique. Two fluid systems of different pressures and flow are interconnected. There are numerous reports on the flow characteristics of these malformations based on the assumption that the equations for a flow in a linear tube are applicable. We have demonstrated by experimental evidence and computational fluid dynamic studies that the flow is extremely complex. The physics of linear flow is not applicable to AVM.

"A Beachcomber's Journal" is a photographic guide to a large collection of items, most of which have been found around the coastline in Monifieth, Angus, Scotland. It explores the history and origins of these finds as well as highlighting the environmental impact of marine pollution. It also provides a window into the past 100 years or so of what we ate and drank and reflects upon the changing tastes throughout the decades. The finds are from 2018 through to early 2022 and are grouped into types. It covers the effects on the marine environment in particular of the Covid 19 Pandemic from lockdown in early 2020 when the world became a much quieter place through to 2022 when freedoms were gradually restored and life began to be more "normal ". Once the most severe travel restrictions were lifted, there was a huge influx of visitors to what had previously been quiet beaches and a noticeable effect on the environment. This book raises awareness of what history literally lies beneath our feet as well as appreciating the natural beauty to be found on our beaches. We can all play our part in helping to protect the environment, both for marine life and for future generations.
