Color Doppler Flow Imaging of the Superior Ophthalmic Vein in Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas
Background and Purpose— This article evaluates the intracranial venous hemodynamics of dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) on the basis of data from color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) findings of the superior ophthalmic vein (SOV) and discusses the clinical application of the SOV CDFI to the DAVFs.
Methods— We examined the diameter, flow direction, flow waveform, and flow velocity of the SOV using CDFI in 20 patients with intracranial DAVF. Six patients were asymptomatic; the other 14 patients were symptomatic. Angiographic retrograde cortical venous filling was seen in 14 patients.
Results— In the DAVFs, the average SOV diameter was 2.95±1.15 mm, which was significantly broad compared with that of the control subjects (P<0.05). The flow direction was reversed in 2 patients and normal in the other 18 patients. Three patients showed an abnormal waveform. A reversed pulsatile waveform was observed in 2 patients, and a normograde pulsatile waveform was seen in 1 patient. The other 17 patients showed normal waveform. The average SOV diameter and resistance index values were significantly higher (P<0.05) in patients with clinical symptoms, angiographic retrograde cortical venous fillings, or large DAVFs compared with those in the other patients.
Conclusions— The SOV CDFI findings in DAVFs correlated well with the patient's clinical symptoms, angiographic findings, and DAVF size. These findings were useful to evaluate the intracranial venous hemodynamics in DAVFs.
Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) constitute 10% to 15% of all intracranial arteriovenous shunts1 and may present with an aggressive neurological clinical course or a fatal cerebral hemorrhage.2 The specific clinical symptomatology and prognosis are thought to be determined by the pattern of venous drainage rather than by the arterial blood supply.3–8⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓ Therefore, the gold standard for clarifying the management strategy is angiography. However, angiography is an invasive examination, and MR angiography (MRA) cannot demonstrate hemodynamics. Therefore, we analyzed and monitored the intracranial venous hemodynamics of the DAVFs using color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) findings of the superior ophthalmic vein (SOV) in 20 patients with intracranial DAVF and then correlated these findings with clinical features and angiographic findings. Here, we describe and discuss the clinical usefulness of the SOV CDFI in intracranial DAVFs.
Subjects and Methods
CDFI studies of the SOV were performed on 20 patients with intracranial DAVFs diagnosed by angiography. These 20 patients made up a consecutive series of DAVF diagnosed at Nara Medical University Hospital between January 1997 and June 2001. Patients with DAVF located in the cavernous sinus region were excluded from this study, as were patients with any lesion causing clinical symptoms or disturbance of venous circulation on angiography other than the DAVF.
Among 20 cases, 5 were reported previously.9 Patients underwent neurological examination, CT scan, and angiography. Of the 20 patients, 11 were male and 9 were female. The age distribution ranged from 37 to 76 years, with a mean age of 62 years. Clinical symptoms were the following: pulsatile tinnitus in 5 patients, dizziness in 4 patients (2 of whom presented with tinnitus; in the other 2 patients, dizziness was resolved after surgery), intractable headache in 2 patients, intracerebral hemorrhage in 1 patient, transient ischemic attacks in 1 patient, and dementia in 1 patient; 6 patients were asymptomatic. Tinnitus, headache, and intracerebral hemorrhage were ipsilateral to the location of the DAVFs. Transient ischemic attack caused tetraparesis in 1 patient with DAVF located in the superior sagittal sinus. Among 6 asymptomatic patients, 4 showed positive findings for DAVF on MRI and MRA. In 1 patient who had undergone carotid endarterectomy 5 years earlier, asymptomatic DAVF was found on the MRI and MRA as follow-up examination for carotid endarterectomy. In 3 patients without any neurological complaint, MRI and MRA studies were performed as the "brain dock" examination, which is performed in Japan to screen for any asymptomatic central nervous system disease. In the last 2 patients, DAVF was seen on angiographic investigation of a brain tumor located in a different region. Neither of these patients showed any neurological symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and tinnitus at the time of diagnosis of DAVF and examination of SOV CDFI. One was found during postoperative follow-up study for tumor recurrence without neurological symptoms, and the other was found during routine screening examination for the metastatic intracranial lesion without neurological symptoms. These 2 patients did not demonstrate neurological symptoms even from the brain tumor. On angiography, neither of these 2 patients demonstrated disturbed venous circulation resulting from the tumor. The distribution of DAVFs was as follows: transverse sigmoid sinus in 11 patients, anterior fossa in 4 patients, superior sagittal sinus in 3 patients, tentorial incisula in 1 patient, and middle fossa in 1 patient. Angiographically, retrograde cortical venous filling was observed in 14 patients, although no retrograde venous filling could be found in the other 6 patients. As the neuro-ophthalmic manifestation, corkscrewing of the conjunctival vasculature (conjunctival congestion) was seen in 1 patient, and papilledema was seen in the 2 patients.
CDFI was performed with Computed Sonography 128XP/10 (Acuson Corp) using a 5-MHz linear-array probe. CDFI studies produced transverse color flow images and a pulsed Doppler recording on SOV. These CDFI studies provided information regarding the size, flow direction, pulsed Doppler wave curve (waveform), and flow velocity of the SOV. From flow velocity, the resistance index (RI) was calculated. The RI describes the ratio of peak systolic velocity to end-diastolic velocity. The SOV CDFI study was performed on both eyes in all patients; we evaluated data from the side showing more severely abnormal SOV CDFI findings.
All values are reported as mean±SD. The physiological data were compared by use of 2-tailed unpaired Student's t test and Kruskal-Wallis test. A value of P<0.05 was taken as the threshold for statistical significance. Before we examined the SOV in 20 patients with DAVF, we examined the SOV on the 47 control subjects consisting of normal volunteers without intracranial lesion on CT and/or MRI in each side. Of the 47 control subjects, 31 were male and 16 were female. The age distribution ranged from 38 to 76 years, with a mean age of 64 years. There was no significant difference in sex or age distribution between the 20 DAVF patients and 47 control subjects. In the 47 control subjects, the SOV can be identified superiorly and nasally in the orbit on orbital CDFI. The average SOV diameter was 2.08±0.26 mm. The flow direction of the SOV was toward the orbital apex in all control patients, and the average SOV RI was 0.37±0.16. The waveform may be a continuous waveform with or without cardiac or respiratory variation.10 Concerning the waveform, there were 2 abnormal types that were typed in our DAVF series: the reversed pulsatile waveform and the normograde pulsatile waveform, which was a continuous waveform influenced by the arterial waveform. The RI was evaluated only in patients with normograde-flow SOV.
SOV CDFI Findings
In the 20 patients, the average SOV diameter was 2.95±1.15 mm (range, 1.6 to 6.1 mm), and this value was significantly broader than that of the control subjects (P=0.003) (Table). The flow direction was reversed in 2 patients and normal in the other 18. Waveforms were reversed pulsatile in 2 patients, normograde pulsatile in 1 patient, and normal in 17 patients. The average RI of SOV (n=18) was 0.38±0.18 (range, 0.17 to 0.86).
Clinical Symptoms
In 6 asymptomatic patients, the average SOV diameter was 1.87±0.27 mm, and the average RI was 0.23±0.07. The waveform was normal in all patients. In 14 symptomatic patients, the average SOV diameter was 3.41±1.06 mm, and the average RI of the 14 patients with normograde SOV flow was 0.46±0.16. Both of these 2 values were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those of the asymptomatic patients. Two symptomatic patients showed an abnormal flow direction. Three symptomatic patients showed abnormal waveforms: reversed pulsatile in 2 patients and normograde pulsatile in 1 patient.
Angiographic Retrograde Cortical Venous Filling
In the 6 patients without retrograde cortical venous filling on angiography, the average SOV diameter was 2.10±0.56 mm. Flow direction and waveform of SOV were normal in all 6 patients. The average RI was 0.25±0.13. In the 14 patients with retrograde cortical venous filling, the average SOV diameter was 3.31±1.15 mm, and the average RI of the 12 patients with normograde SOV flow was 0.45±0.17. Concerning the SOV waveform, 2 patients showed reversed pulsatile waveform, 1 patient showed normograde pulsatile waveform, and the remaining 11 patients showed normal waveform. There was a significant difference in the average diameter and RI of the SOV between the patients with and those without retrograde cortical venous filling as indicated by angiography (P<0.05).
Localization of DAVF
According to the localization of DAVF, 20 patients were divided into 3 groups. Group A consisted of 4 patients with DAVF in the anterior fossa; their average SOV diameter was 2.50±1.05 mm and average RI value was 0.45±0.29. Group P consisted of 11 patients with DAVF on the transverse sigmoid sinus; their average SOV diameter was 3.09±0.84 mm and average RI value was 0.42±0.12. Group M consisted of 5 patients with DAVF on superior sagittal sinus, tentorial incisula, or middle fossa; their average SOV diameter was 2.98±1.84 mm and average RI value was 0.23±0.05. Between these 3 groups, there was no significant difference in average SOV diameter and RI. Therefore, there was no significant difference in SOV diameter and RI according to the localization of DAVF.
Neuro-Ophthalmic Findings
There were 2 patients showing abnormal neuro-ophthalmic findings. These 2 patients showed reversed ophthalmic artery flow in each and showed only DAVF without brain tumor. Therefore, these neuro-ophthalmic findings were due to DAVF. The other 18 patients without abnormal neuro-ophthalmic findings showed normograde SOV flow in each. There was a significant difference (P<0.05) in the relationship between the flow direction of SOV and neuro-ophthalmic abnormal findings. The average SOV diameter was 4.90±1.70 mm in 2 patients with abnormal neuro-ophthalmic findings and 2.73±0.89 mm in the other 18 patients without abnormal neuro-ophthalmic findings. However, there was no significant difference in SOV diameter between these 2 groups.
DAVF Size
Twenty patients were divided into 2 groups according to DAVF size defined by the number of feeding major vessels shown on angiography. A DAVF fed through arterial branches from only 1 major vessel such as an internal carotid artery, external carotid artery, or vertebral artery on each side was defined as a small DAVF. A DAVF fed through arterial branches from ≥2 major vessels was defined as a large DAVF. Group S consisted of 10 patients with small DAVFs; their average SOV diameter was 2.21±0.53 mm and average RI value was 0.29±0.10. The flow direction and waveform of the SOV were normal in all 10 patients of group S. Group L consisted of 10 patients with large DAVFs; their average SOV diameter was 3.68±1.14 mm, and the average RI value of the 8 patient with normograde SOV flow was 0.50±0.18. Concerning the SOV waveform in group L, 3 patients showed abnormal waveforms. There were significant differences in SOV diameters and RI values between these 2 groups (P<0.05).
Illustrative Cases
Patient 1
A 58-year-old man experienced sudden-onset, right homonymous hemianopsia and aphasia. A CT scan demonstrated a subcortical hemorrhage in the left temporal lobe. A left external carotid angiogram demonstrated a DAVF at the left transverse sigmoid sinus supplied mainly by the middle meningeal artery and retroauricular artery with drainage into retrograde-fashion cortical veins. A left internal carotid angiogram showed a DAVF through the tentorial branch of internal carotid artery. The DAVF was large. SOV CDFI studies showed a dilated SOV (diameter, 4.3 mm), a normograde pulsatile waveform, and a high RI (0.57) (Figure 1).
Patient 3
A 66-year-old man complained of recurrent transient ischemic tetraparesis. Neuro-ophthalmic findings were papilledema with conjunctival congestion. Left and right external carotid angiograms demonstrated a DAVF at the superior sagittal sinus supplied by the superficial temporal artery, middle meningeal artery, and occipital artery, with drainage into the ascending cortical veins. The DAVF was large in this case. The SOV diameter was 6.1 mm; the flow direction was retrograde; and the waveform was reversed pulsatile flow (Figure 2).
Most DAVFs behave benignly, but the clinical symptoms are most likely attributable to venous ischemia resulting from venous hypertension and/or congestion resulting from the high pressure of direct and retrograde flow into the main venous systems.11–15⇓⇓⇓⇓ Therefore, analyzing the venous hemodynamics of DAVFs is quite significant in understanding the pathophysiology of DAVFs and in selecting the best treatment. Usually, venous hemodynamics is evaluated on angiographic findings, and these findings have been the gold standard for treatment selection in DAVFs. However, angiography is an invasive examination, and the patient needs hospitalization for a few days. To analyze the venous hemodynamics of DAVFs, we examined the SOV CDFI, which was a noninvasive examination.
It is easy to identify the SOV on orbital CDFI. Belden et al16 reported that the SOV was demonstrated in 96% of the normal control subjects through CDFI. In the presenting series, the SOV was detected in all patients on orbital CDFI. CDFI for SOV offers several advantages: (1) it is noninvasive and does not require contrast material; (2) it may be performed quickly, easily, inexpensively, and repeatedly; and (3) it provides specific topographic information regarding the orbital vasculature.17 The SOV findings reflect the intracranial venous hemodynamics because the SOV reaches the cavernous sinus without a valve through the sphenoidal fissure, and there is also no valve in the intracranial venous system, including the dural sinus. Therefore, we examined the SOV CDFI to analyze the intracranial venous hemodynamics. In the presenting study, the abnormal findings on SOV CDFI in DAVFs correlated well with clinical symptoms and angiographic retrograde cortical venous filling. The SOV CDFI reflected the intracranial venous hemodynamics. Thus, we can use the SOV CDFI as a venous hemodynamics evaluation method in DAVFs. Generally, Doppler imaging studies are dependent on the skill of the examiner. However, MRA does not have this limitation and is not an invasive examination. MRA also provides information about the size and flow of the DAVF, but venous hemodynamics cannot be evaluated from MRA. Therefore, SOV CDFI and MRA can complement each other in the examination of DAVFs.
Although we routinely examined the SOV CDFI on both sides in each patient, we evaluated SOV CDFI findings on the side showing the more severe abnormalities. However, there was no significant difference in SOV CDFI findings between on the left and right sides regardless of the location of the lesions.
The origin and pathophysiology of intracranial DAVFs remain unknown. However, except for some pediatric lesions and other lesions associated with complex developmental anomalies, the vast majority of DAVFs appear to be acquired.11 In this series, there were no pediatric patients or patients with other developmental anomalies, and most of the patients were >50 years of age. Therefore, we believe that the DAVFs examined in this series were acquired. In pediatric patients, vascular compliance and elasticity differ from those in adult patients. SOV CDFI findings may also differ from those in an adult series. In this study, we avoided confounding factors derived from an excessively wide age distribution. In the future, SOV CDFI studies in pediatric DAVFs are needed for comparison with the DAVFs in this adult series.
In the present series, the overall average SOV diameter was significantly broader than that in the control population. The broad SOV could be identified by the venous congestion resulting from the high volume of shunt flow or occlusion of the dural sinus. In patients with clinical symptoms or angiographic retrograde cortical venous filling, the RI value was significantly higher than in other patients. The SOV RI may reflect the hemodynamics of the distal resistance of the SOV. The significantly increased SOV RI value indicates the high resistance of the intracranial venous system resulting from high intracranial venous pressure. Patients with high intracranial venous pressure present with some clinical symptoms and/or angiographic retrograde cortical venous filling. In the present series, patients with reversed SOV flow or abnormal SOV waveform in addition to dilated SOV and/or high RI showed serious clinical symptoms such as intracerebral hemorrhage or an ischemic event. With progressive venous congestion, the SOV CDFI findings may also advance from dilatation of SOV, increased SOV RI value, and abnormal waveform to reversed ophthalmic artery flow, together with clinical symptoms and angiographic retrograde cortical venous fillings. If attention is given to these findings, SOV CDFI can recognize the advance of venous congestion.
Among 20 patients, 2 (patients 6 and 14) were detected during examination for brain tumor. These 2 patients did not show any neurological symptoms at the time DAVF was diagnosed and the SOV CDFI was examined. Furthermore, angiography did not show any venous circulation disturbance resulting from the tumor in either case. Therefore, we included these 2 patients in this study. If these patients had shown any clinical symptoms such as intracranial hypertension or focal neurological deficit, they would have been excluded from the present study. In these 2 patients, SOV CDFI examination showed normal findings for SOV diameter, flow direction, and waveform.
There was no significant difference in SOV diameter and RI according to DAVF localization in the presenting series. The SOV connect with various intracranial venous systems only via cavernous sinus, but there was no direct connection with the SOV from the intracranial venous system even from the anterior fossa DAVF. Accordingly, the SOV CDFI findings did not significantly differ according to DAVF localization. This finding also suggested excellent interconnections (right to left and anterior to posterior) of the venous encephalic circulation that were confirmed on SOV CDFI study. Therefore, regardless of DAVF localization, SOV CDFI can monitor the intracranial venous hemodynamics of patients with intracranial DAVF.
Two patients showed abnormal neuro-ophthalmic findings. Only these 2 patients showed reversed SOV flow on SOV CDFI findings. These 2 patients did not show any intracranial mass lesion such as brain tumor; therefore, these abnormal neuro-ophthalmic findings were revealed by venous hemodynamic compromise resulting from DAVF in each patient. There was a significant relationship between neuro-ophthalmic findings and SOV flow direction. Therefore, the flow direction of the SOV on CDFI findings was a good monitor for neuro-ophthalmic findings.
The relationship between DAVF size and intracranial venous hemodynamics is interesting. In this study, we defined DAVF size by the number of major vessels such as an internal carotid artery, external carotid artery, and vertebral artery on each side that fed the DAVF. In this study, there was a clear relationship between DAVF size and SOV CDFI findings. The larger DAVFs showed more severe venous hemodynamic compromise on SOV CDFI findings. SOV CDFI findings could be associated with DAVF size; therefore, those findings also could be used to monitor changes in DAVF size, ie, increased or decreased DAVF during follow-up or after any treatment.
The surgical indication for DAVFs is usually determined according to the angiographic findings and clinical symptoms.4,18–20⇓⇓⇓ Awad et al3 reported that leptomeningeal venous drainage, variceal or aneurysmal venous dilatation, and galenic drainage correlate with aggressive neurological presentation. In patients with the above angiographic findings, radical treatment is recommended. According to the authors' data, SOV CDFI findings can demonstrate an aspect of intracranial venous hemodynamics in intracranial DAVFs. From the perspective of SOV CDFI findings, conservative management and strict follow-up are recommended for asymptomatic DAVFs with normal SOV CDFI. Radical treatment is recommended when SOV CDFI shows abnormal findings such as abnormal flow direction, abnormal waveform, and high RI value. However, the treatment for DAVFs should be based on angiographic findings and clinical symptoms. The SOV CDFI findings remain reference values for the choice of treatment plan.
The present study involved a very small series, so the precise usefulness of SOV CDFI findings of intracranial DAVFs remains unclear. However, according to this study, the SOV CDFI findings reflect the intracranial venous hemodynamics and correlate with clinical symptoms and angiographic retrograde cortical venous filling. Therefore, in the future, the SOV CDFI may be useful for evaluating the effect of treatment maneuvers or identifying the recurrence or development of DAVF.
CDFI findings regarding the SOV in patients with DAVFs correlate well the patient's clinical symptoms, angiographic findings, and DAVF size. The patient with a dilated SOV with an abnormal flow direction, abnormal waveform, and high RI showed papilledema resulting from severely compromised venous hemodynamics. The SOV CDFI in DAVFs could be useful as a method to evaluate intracranial venous hemodynamics. DAVFs showing dilated SOVs with an abnormal flow direction, abnormal waveform, and high RI should be considered for radical treatment, because these findings indicate intracranial venous hemodynamic compromise.

"Leading is not the same as being the leader. Being the leader means you hold the highest rank, either by earning it, good fortune or navigating internal politics. Leading, however, means that others willingly follow you—not because they have to, not because they are paid to, but because they want to." – Simon Sinek
If your employees were all volunteers, would they still follow you, or would they up and leave? The days of leading from position are long-gone – it's not enough to have title, rank or authority as a platform to lead. As the battle for talent takes center stage in this digital age, leaders have to actively grow and intentionally practice their leadership skills if they are to thrive and succeed. A good test for this is to ask yourself, would your team follow you if they didn't have to?

It's just your gear score, they put it in a big number on the top right of your character screen but it is confusingly labeled "Power". Anyway, it's there from level 1.
Ok, I'm at 260. Let's raid. Tom, you good to go?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but Destiny 2 is one of those games where no one would ever be annoyed if you joined their game in progress. That's certainly true for me if you ever see me online. Please jump in with me and help me shoot stuff! I don't have a mic set up for the PS4, so apologies in advance for being a crappy conversationalist, but I'd love to have you covering my six, and my flank, and anything outside the narrow 10 to 15-degree cone where I'm shooting wildly at whatever thing looks most dangerous.
Yep. I figure 99 is close enough! Let's do this thing!
I'm creeping up on
light power level 250, and I've entirely ignored the blue weapon and armor mods I've accumulated so far.
At this point it still seems like I'm swapping things out often enough that there's no point applying them to things I'm not going to use for long.
But on the other hand, I realize there really isn't a reason to save them either, right? So does anyone have any tips or advice on what and when to upgrade?
No idea. I've got my fair share of mods, even got an exotic mod which appears to be good only for a specific exotic weapon I don't have. Maybe when I settle on a last bunch of weapons/armor I'll fiddle with mods.
Pretty sure those are the exotic "ornaments" and I think they're just cosmetic. I have a couple I can't use yet either.
Save them, at 280 light you start combining them to make legendary mods. 3 blue combine to form 1 purple.
Callus is too much like Trump, not enough like the Orokin or Osiris. Callus weapons have bling, they look like something some warchief or gang leader would use. They lack class but this time I think is intended. Destiny 2 players in full raid gear set will look like new riches in the ancient egypt, dress in ivory and gold.
De-lurking to say that I too would like to join in on the PS4 massacring of various life form loot pinatas in the Destiny 2 universe! Join clan request sent from hahahabonk.
Yesterday I played through a few missions in the story. I was picking up various pieces of armor and guns at a pretty fast pace. And then I picked up my first Scout Rifle. Oh man, I had forgotten how much I loved Scout rifles until I had one in my hand again, going pop pop pop, getting headshots left and right. Feels SOOOO Good.
Also, as someone said upthread, there's so much more going on in Destiny with these more frequent public events. Even as you're going back and forth in the main areas doing your missions, you see a big attack as part of a public event, and maybe it's because I haven't seen them before, you can't help but be drawn in.
…And a PSA for those that played Destiny 1: I discovered last night that the Phalanx guards in Destiny 2 can be forced to lower their shields if you hit the center of the shield.
I went through the entire campaign aiming for the arm and feet.
Well, in Destiny 2 their shields have a big bright glowing spot right in the middle. So of course I shot that spot. Why wouldn't I?
Man, I knew there had to be a way. I kept trying to plink their extended arm and gun hand, since that would get them to sort of convulse back in the original game, exposing their head. But that doesn't work in this one.
This was me until just now. I thought they just made them way harder to hit. Thanks!
I remember being told that in the first mission, but I suppose it would be easy to miss.
You get the feedback now with yellow numbers popping up from center-shield shots.
A number of the enemies had rough patches smoothed out from Destiny 1. The Taken psions, for example, are much less prone to infinite splitting now. Enemies with energy shields appear to take a big burst of hurt when their shields pop.
There are Destiny quirks to un-learn at the meta level too. Engrams and rewards used to decrypt at a light/power level commensurate with only your equipped gear, so if you weren't prioritizing light level (for which there are plenty of valid reasons, especially in PvP), you had to remember to switch to that gear before decrypting anything or you were limiting the potential of your drops.
As I understand it now, engram light levels are fixed (discounting some slight but consistent randomness) when they drop, and it's calculated based on all your gear, including things you're not wearing and gear in your vault.
So you don't have to switch outfits just to decrypt things or worry about your drops—you're always getting the best possible drops based on your current potential. A welcome improvement.
I had a moment of being bummed-out last night when I beat the campaign but then they gave me a present, the game said "but look at all these new missions for you!" and pop-pop-pop all these new mission flags blipped into existence on my maps! This game never ends!
Guess I must have missed the Guardian meeting where your told you can only equip one Exotic at a time. Good thing I spent all those legendary shards to get that second one…
Speaking of which, did Xur pay us a visit? Where's he hanging out? I've missed my weekly hide-and-seek expeditions.
You can have 1 exotic armor piece and 1 exotic weapon equipped at a time.

As with mental, spiritual fitness, and physical fitness, achieving fiscal fitness pays tremendous dividends and is necessary for total well-being. The essential elements of building a solid financial foundation and reaching your desired level of fitness? Maintain a spending plan, minimize debt, establish an emergency fund, and contribute to retirement plans.
Follow a Spending Plan and Limit Debt
Maintaining a spending plan means itemizing current expenses. Doing so allows you to carefully track how much money you are taking in during a given period and figure out the best way to divide it among various categories. Moreover, a spending plan provides an opportunity to see where changes can be made with regards to expenses. A reduction in expenses means an opportunity to increase savings and investment contributions.
The second element is to minimize and manage debt. While some debt (e.g. college and car loans) is impossible to avoid for most, it can be minimized by limiting the number of outstanding loans as much as possible and by seeking the lowest interest rates possible when a loan is required.
The most significant ways to manage debt are to pay off loans as quickly as possible, limiting the amount paid in interest and to avoid carrying balances on credit cards. The interest paid on credit cards is an inhibitor to maintaining fiscal fitness and building wealth. Establishing an emergency fund, the third element, is the key to avoiding carrying credit card balances and dipping into monies intended for savings and investments.
Prepare for Unexpected Expenses
An emergency fund is a cash account that is used only to fill critical financial gaps or meet unexpected expenses. With regard to the question of how much should be maintained in an emergency fund, there are various schools of thought. Some suggest living expenses for a given period (e.g. one year), while others suggest income for a given period (e.g. three or six months). In most cases, marital status (theoretically single people should have more as they are reliant on a single income); the number of children in the household, and the level of job security are the primary factors for consideration. Ultimately, the amount will vary for everyone as the factors that impact lives will be different. However, three months living expenses should be considered the minimum.
Invest Over the Long-Term
The final element is to contribute to retirement plans. Most people will not have the benefit of a defined benefit plan; instead, they will be reliant on a defined contribution plan and an individual retirement savings plan to secure their financial future.
With defined contribution plans, the employee and/or the employer contribute money to the employee's account. The traditional 401(k) is the most popular type of defined contribution plan. This year, the contribution limit is $18,000. Additionally, those individuals 50 (or turning 50 at any point during the year) or over are allowed to add an additional $6,000 in 'catch-up contributions' during the year.
There are two major types of individual retirement savings plans, the traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and the Roth IRA. In 2016, the contribution limit for both is $5,500. As with 401(k) plans, catch-up contributions ($1,000) are allowed for those 50 or older. Both types of IRAs provide tax breaks; it really comes down to when you get to claim them. Traditional IRA contributions are tax-deductible on both state and federal tax returns for the year you make the contribution, while withdrawals in retirement are taxed at ordinary income tax rates. On the other hand, Roth IRAs provide no tax break during the period contributions are made; however, the earnings and withdrawals are generally tax-free. Simply put, with traditional IRAs, you avoid taxes when you put the money in while with Roth IRAs, you avoid taxes when you take it out in retirement.

Michael Van Clarke – 1 Beaumont Street, London, W1G 6DF
For those of you who follow my Instagram/Twitter you will know that a couple of weeks ago I went for the big chop and got about 6 inches cut off my hair. Now, anyone who knows me will know that this decision which I talked myself in and out of for about two weeks but in the end I just went ahead and booked the appointment. I reasoned with myself that if I chickened out last minute i'd cut get an inch taken off and tidy up my split ends but deep down I knew that I wanted to go for it.
So the day soon rolled round, I turned up at the salon still questioning myself as to whether I wanted to go through with it. See I've been crushing on this hair length for some time now but my hair had grown so long I was scared to let it go, however I knew that I was in good hands at the salon and I decided to bite the bullet and finally go for it. I've been to the MVC salon before and had my hair cut with Gustav and he's amazing!! Honestly he just seems to 'get' what I want and I feel so comfortable letting him take the reigns as I know he wont fail me!
I had my hair coloured a warm rich brown colour – which only actually took around 20 minutes to take which I was really pleased with. I then had my hair washed and blow dried then dry cut by Gustav. After a few deep breaths and one final persuasion we decided to go for it and I've honestly not looked back since! Since working in London I'd found long hair really hard to manage as it always seemed to be ruined or wind swept by the time I'd got to work, it's so much easier to manage now and takes me roughly ten minutes to style each morning which means more time in bed… hurrah!
My second experience at the MVC salon was just as good as the first and it's so comforting going to a salon where you wont be disappointed as it always seems a big deal getting your hair cut as you are completely trusting the stylist. I couldn't recommend the salon anymore if you are going to a trim or the big chop then I guarantee you are in safe hands here!
Have you had a drastic hair change lately?

CRABTREE & EVELYN Evelyn Rose
There is a real rose named Evelyn Rose, cultivated by English rose expert David Austin for Crabtree & Evelyn's pretty new range. Powder pink, the rose is a stunner, so luxuriously full and feminine (Google it!) that with a few more petals you could almost mistake it for a peony and it took eight years and 30,000 seedlings to create it.
At the heart of the Evelyn Rose bath, body and fragrance collection is the Evelyn Rose EDP. The almost antique gold satin metallised bottle with gold cartouche finishing is a stunning and really original departure from most perfume bottles – but it's the way this fragrance is made that is also intriguing. Using innovative technology, scent molecules are extracted directly from each petal, so it really captures the scent of the rose in full bloom and no parabens, phthalates, mineral oil or propylene glycol are used.
Is it too early to mention the December holidays? OK (whispering) let's just say the Evelyn Rose collection could be making its way down lots of chimneys and into lots of Christmas stockings…
EVELYN ROSE Eau de Parfum £45/50ml
Fragrance Notes: A heart of uniquely scented Evelyn Rose petals and peach nectar, surrounded by an elegant jasmine and violet accord with accents of bergamot and sensuous amber. Apply to pulse points and layer over Evelyn Rose Bath & Shower Gel and Body Lotion for a long-lasting fragrance experience.
You might also like? Himalayan Blue. Crabtree & Evelyn have just launched their brand new range, Himalayan Blue with a special 3-for-2 offer (ends October 9, or while stocks last).

Boy (3) killed after family car 'rolls onto him' on driveway of multi-million home
A toddler has died outside his home after the family car rolled onto him.
It is believed the unidentified three-year-old boy was rushed to hospital after the vehicle rolled off the driveway outside the Poole home in Dorset at 3.30pm on Thursday.
Although an air ambulance was scrambled as a precaution, the child was taken by road ambulance to hospital where he later died from his injuries on Friday morning.
"The little boy's family are being supported by specially trained family liaison officers. They have requested that they be left in peace to grieve," Inspector Matt Butler of the Dorset Police Traffic Unit said in a statement.
Insp Butler added an investigation had been launched into events with officers conducting door-to-door inquires with the family's neighbours.
Police officers were also seen investigating the house, the Bournemouth Echo reported. Three police vehicle, two cars and a van remain outside the home.

The Ducks never have had a Hart Trophy winner, and they've had just two finalists – Paul Kariya (1996-97) and Teemu Selanne (1997-98).
Only two players on California teams ever have won the NHL's MVP award – Wayne Gretzky (with L.A., 1988-89) and Joe Thornton (with San Jose, 2005-06).
But Corey Perry, thanks particularly to an almost magical final two months, has a real shot this season. And many of Perry's shots this year have found the net. He and Vancouver's Daniel Sedin are the clear favorites.
For a slideshow on Corey Perry's Hart Trophy credentials, click the photo.
"I think you have to do an analysis of how much of an impact each player has had in their own situation," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said. "I don't know if there's a player who has been more valuable to his hockey club than Corey Perry."
How valuable has Perry been to this hockey club? Here's a slideshow with the details and highlights.

Eating Right Doesn't Always Cost More
Healthy foods aren�t always pricier than less-nutritious alternatives, says a new USDA study that challenges previous findings about the price consumers pay for eating right. Using data from the USDA�s Quarterly Food-at-Home Price Database, researchers compared prices per 100 grams of different food choices. Whole grains were indeed more expensive than refined grains (though that gap has narrowed in recent years), and dark green vegetables cost more than potatoes and other starchy veggies. But whole fruits were 60-70% cheaper than processed sweet snacks and also cheaper than packaged savory snacks. (See this issue�s Special Report on fruits.) Orange vegetables such as carrots and sweet potatoes were another bargain, comparable to or cheaper than starchy veggies. Though pricier than carbonated soft drinks, low-fat milk cost less than whole milk. The report also found wide geographic variations in the relative price of healthier choices, which �may contribute to geographic variation in diet and health outcomes.�

THE LOVE SERIES #9: Houston Love
If you've been living under a rock and don't know by now, Houston and all of Southeast Texas and parts of Louisiana have been ravaged by Hurricane and then Tropical Storm Harvey. It has been a harrowing experience for many and the areas that were affected will be recovering for months if not years to come.
Amidst all the flooding, rain, and chaos, Houston and it's surrounding areas as well as many across the nation have united to help those who have suffered the most during this record-breaking storm. As I watch the news and social media and see the stories of citizens and first responders saving and caring for one another, my heart breaks open again and again. I've essentially been crying for the past 4 days.
So this 9th installment of The Love Series goes out to Houston, it's surrounding areas and all the citizens, civilians, officers, fire fighters and first responders who are spreading the love any way they can.
If you'd like to give a little love to Houston, there are many ways to do so. Here are just a few:
1. JJ Watt of the Houston Texans is raising money to get direct aid to the victims of Hurricane Harvey. You can donate HERE.
2. Over 160 police officers have had their homes flooded but have still been working. To help officers whose homes have been damaged, consider donating to Assist the Officer HERE.
3. Brene Brown, author, UH professor and all around badass, has suggested donating to Undies for Everyone on her Facebook page. It's an often overlooked area. You can donate HERE.
4. Lastly, if you are here locally, consider volunteering your time, your washing machine (so much needs to be washed), or resources to shelters, neighbors, family and friends in need. So, essentially, keep doing what you're doing Houston. #HoustonStrong
