Dr. Karl Vandevender
I'm Alan Alda, and this is Clear and Vivid, conversations about connecting and communicating.
Karl: Here I am, a 70 year old physician. I've been in practice for all practical purposes 40 years, and so I think to myself, what have I learned and what can I pass on that might be useful? Many people will leave a doctor's office feeling there's been no connection and leave many relationships in life feeling there's been no connection. But what I've learned is, if you make an honest attempt, not some phony attempt, but if you're actually struggling, working to understand a person, it goes much better. You actually can help them.
Dr. Karl VanDevender is a physician in Nashville, Tennessee. And he's one of the most empathic doctors I've every met. Actually, he's one of the most empathic peopleI've ever known. Karl seemed like the perfect person to talk with on our second show in this special series on the role of empathy in medicine We got together in our studio in Manhattan.
Alan: I wanted to talk to you about the way you talk to patients. It's really unusual in this day in age. For one thing, the time you're able to spend is different from what most doctors are able to do now. How long can a doctor spend with a patient usually?
Karl: It depends on the field, but most people who do what I do, which is so-called primary care, I'm a general internal medicine doctor for adults, and I would say most [00:00:30] physicians in today's climate are in the room with the patient for 12 to 15 minutes.
Alan: 12 to 15 minutes?
Karl: Yes, and unfortunately much of that time is spent at a computer filling out a computer form to document a visit, or as they call it, an encounter, so that they can get paid.
Alan: And I hear increasingly that when the doctor is at the computer, the computer is up against the wall, and the doctor's back is to the patient. So the time they spend face-to-face is even less than 12 minutes.
Karl: Yes. It's very unfortunate, but let's just think about why a person goes to see the [00:01:30] doctor. They go, first of all, because they might have a problem, but they want to have some sort of connection and some sort of connection that allows for someone to understand the bigger picture of what's going on with them. For example, if a person has a headache, it's usually not because they were just hit in the head. It's usually because of something much larger than that. It might be some sort of stress, or some sort of other illness.
[00:02:00] If you are filling in a blank, person has headache, location occipital region, you really haven't helped that person. You filled out a form, but you haven't understood what's going on with them. I tell the young doctors that most of our patients did not go to medical school, and so for the most part, they don't know if we know what we're doing. But they're world class experts on whether or not we care, and through you Alan, and your improvisational technique, [00:02:30] I've had a chance to think about the word empathy. And I have to confess, and I think you implied this when I first met you, that when empathy sort of came into vogue, I wasn't that impressed with the word empathy. I thought sympathy was a fine old word, and we didn't need to give it up.
Alan: Yeah. I had the same feeling. I was mistrustful of the word empathy for a long time.
Karl: But I've come to see this. That sympathy is feeling for someone. Empathy is feeling with someone.
Alan: Yeah, [00:03:00] but to be feeling … That's the way it's often described. That you are able to … and I think historically it came about through a picture of somebody understanding what the other person is going through.
Karl: Right. So here I am, a 70 year old physician. I've been in practice for all practical purposes 40 years, and so I think to myself, what have I learned and what can I pass on that might be useful? And [00:03:30] I've had a hard time putting that into any concrete form until I had the good fortune of meeting you and learning about what you're doing. And I'd like to share with you as I've done before, and if it's okay, I'll share it with you now again.
When I first came into practice, I had this wonderful, older mentor who said that it was easy to sort of make a diagnosis and give a treatment, but the challenge was to look at four factors that go into any [00:04:00] attempt to help another human being in their illness, shall we say. One is the idea of dignity. The second is the concept of suffering. The third is the patient's independence. And the fourth is the patient's feeling of being a burden to their family or to society. And so I struggled for a long time, who do you convey to someone that you honor their dignity?
Alan: So let me hear those four again. Dignity.
Karl: Suffering.
Alan: [00:04:30] Suffering.
Karl: Independence.
Alan: Independence.
Karl: And dependence.
Alan: And dependence.
Karl: Dependence. In other words, their dependence on those taking care of them, their family and society. Or to put it another way, their fear or feeling of burdensomeness.
Alan: The doctor who was helping you with these concepts, trying to get you to be more in touch with the patients, why do you suppose he landed on those four factors?
Karl: Well, it was at the end of his [00:05:00] career when he imparted this to me. He himself was in fact 72 years old. I was taking over his practice, and he was a remarkable man. Someone I really looked up to. I don't know how he came to those during his life as a physician, but he had it boiled down to those four.
Alan: So dignity meant expressing your understanding of the person's dignity.
Karl: Well let's think about the word dignity [00:05:30] a little bit. You know, dignity and respect are quite different. Respect is something you earn. Dignity is something you have, and you know we hear abo humanism coming along during the age of enlightenment. You think well, that's good, and then you start realizing that it was actually a very important transition in the psyche, if you will, of our civilization. Part of that, they were actual homo sapiens, people, [00:06:00] who are regarded as less than human. They were slaves or they were untouchables or whatever you want to call them. And so during the enlightenment, mankind started seeing us all as having inalienable qualities. One of which was dignity.
So in medicine, we're often called upon to take care of normal citizens, shall we say, but also prisoners who've done pretty bad things. Murderers and so forth. So how do you convey that you recognize [00:06:30] their inherent human dignity, and recognize it as part of the care of the patient. And so, through your organization I learned about reading emotions. So most … part of that is someone said to me, "What's the emotion I'm reading on this man's face right now?" I had a very limited vocabulary. You know, sort of happy, sad, bored.
Alan: You had … When I started trying to do it, that's all I had. You suddenly [00:07:00] realize you don't have a vocabulary. You can describe wine better than you can describe what's on somebody's face.
Karl: So as I've shared with you before, I made a study of this and found various ways to increase my vocabulary. So I was giving a talk recently, and I was talking about your method. I was saying that in the act of attempting to understand through reading another person's countenance what's going on in their head trying to get [00:07:30] inside them, or to put it another way, to increase empathy for them or with them, people subconsciously recognize that you're trying to do that. And they let down their guards. They all of a sudden want to be in that relationship with you.
Alan: It's an intimate look you give somebody when you're trying to figure out what they're feeling, and that look possibly triggers an openness on the person [00:08:00] that you're looking at because it's unguarded. And it might help them be unguarded too. Then suddenly you're in a connection that's powerful.
Karl: Well that's the whole key. The connection. Many people will leave a doctor's office feeling there's been no connection and leave many relationships in life feeling there's been no connection. But what I've learned is, if you make an honest attempt, not some phony attempt, but if you're actually struggling, working to understand a person, [00:08:30] it goes much better. You actually can help them.
So I was giving this talk, and after the talk two women came up to me. Both from southeast Asia. They had not been sitting together. One from Cambodia, and one I believe from Vietnam. And they told me that in their particular languages, the verb to understand and the verb to love, are the same. And so I like to think that in our interaction with those we're trying to help, that there would be an element of affection. [00:09:00] Something akin to love.
I met an older physician in the grocery store recently, and he'd retired. I'd inherited some of his patients, and I said to him, "I always enjoy seeing your former patients, and you know they loved you very much." And he looked at me, and he said, "Well, you know I love them too." It was refreshing to hear that.
Alan: I always have been amazed at the responsibility that doctors take for the well being for the life of a patient, and that willingness to take on that responsibility can be seen as a kind of love. Or it could be seen as, I've got this sack of potatoes I have to get off the floor and in the back of the truck.
Karl: Well there's no question that there's that too. That it is a burden, but what in life isn't.
Alan: Yeah.
Karl: That's meaningful.
Alan: So the suffering and the foursome. The suffering is be aware [00:10:00] of their suffering, or reduce it or what's the significance of that?
Karl: Well suffering is not pain. Suffering is quite distinct. It's one's response to a situation. People don't just come in with … someone's not just a kidney infection or pneumonia. They're a person, and they have an illness within a context. In my opinion, becoming aware of the context and letting someone tell you about the context [00:10:30] is acknowledging their suffering. And I can tell you right now, I could take you. You could take me. We could take anyone we run into on the street. Sit down quietly, and you will not find anyone who doesn't have some degree of suffering going on in their life at this very moment.
If you think about it, what is the Old Testament about? It is about the suffering of the people of Israel. What is Buddhism about? Buddhism is nothing more than learning how to bear up under suffering and to put it into perspective. Jesus the suffering servant. [00:11:00] So suffering is an inherent quality just like dignity in my opinion, and a part of our obligation to our patients is to help put that suffering in a perspective that is both palatable and to make it more understandable. And I think that's where story telling comes in.
Alan: Story telling, why? Why does it come in there?
Karl: Well if you go in and tell someone, "You've got adenocarcinoma of the putamen." It's part of the brain.
Alan: You have laid it on me really well.
Karl: You haven't told them anything, but if you can create a palatable, understandable story about their illness that will allow them to understand it, you will in large part, address their suffering. So much of suffering is dealing with the unknown.
Alan: So the suffering is not so much the condition itself or the pain you get from the condition, but the burden it is to you psychically.
Karl: And spiritually. Yes.
Alan: And what independence? And what the difference between independence and dependence?
Karl: Well, in the old days when I started out, a doctor might come and say, "Well Miss Smith, you've got cancer of the whatever, and we're gonna give you three rounds of chemotherapy, followed by surgery and radiation therapy." And the person might say, "Well doctor, I'm 90 years old, and I'm not prepared to [00:12:30] go through that." In the old days, the doctor might say, "Well, look. I'm the doctor. You're the patient. It's my way or the highway." But we're now encouraging partnership. These are the things that we have to offer. How do you feel about it? What are you willing to bring to this? And studies now show that if a patient feels a partnership with the treating team, things go much better. Their ability to get better, whatever that means, physically or mentally, is greatly improved [00:13:00] by feeling a part of a partnership.
On dependence, if you're say a 70 year old doctor, which I am, and you have a medical problem, which I did. And you're taken to the coronary angiogram suite to have your heart looked at, which I did recently, I was not worried about dye going through my system, or the possibility that I would die from that. I was worried about the burden it was to my wife to have to stop her day, come over to the hospital, and see me. My friends who had a busy schedule. [00:13:30] The doctors having to stop what they were doing to fool around with me, and the impact it would have on my patients. I was worried about being a burden to others. I was not primarily worried about my condition.
And so now, on my rounds, if I go and sit down, and hold someone's wrist or hand, and say, "Are you concerned about being a burden?" You're just literally like puncturing a boil because what comes forth is yes. I'm so worried that my daughter who lives in California, and [00:14:00] we live in Tennessee, is gonna have to stop what she's doing and come look after me now that my leg is broken or whatever. And we have not done a good job of allowing people to express the concern about burdensomeness in illness, and I think it's very important.
Karl is able to relate to his patients at an unusually deep level – probably because he's established a connection with them from their very first visit. It's an unusual first visit – in fact, it's almost unheard of. Karl tells me all about it, right after this:
This is Clear + Vivid – and now back to my conversation with Dr. Karl VanDevander.
Alan: This attention to the other person, attention to the patient as a person just seems something so much diminishing in our world [00:14:30] because the world is sweeping past us, and you talked before about the 12 to 15 minutes a doctor typically spends with a patient. When you have a new patient, how much time do you spend with the patient?
Karl: Well, I'm an older doctor, and when I see a new patient, I set aside four hours. And I use a blackboard. And I use a timeline of their life starting at their moment of conception actually because I need to know a lot about the [00:15:00] pregnancy that their mother had. What I've found is, if we go, and I invite them to bring as many people as they can with them, their mother or their sister or their best friend, spouse, children, and we go through the whole timeline. Usually there's a moment in their timeline where they became an unwell person, or they developed a problem that needs to be addressed. But I've also found that if you write down every word they're saying in their presence, they get the idea that you're actually listening. [00:15:30] It's just you, the chalk, and the blackboard and the patient. And then you attempt to put it into a narrative form, and this is the old fashioned way of doing it. But there are certain, there's Abraham Verghese who wrote the book Cutting for Stone. Have you met him?
Alan: No. No.
Karl: Well, he would be someone you might consider meeting. He's the Head of Medicine at Stanford University. In other words, he's not insignificant person in the medical world, [00:16:00] and he has something called The School of Narrative Medicine. In fact, it's taught right here in New York. One of the branches at Columbia, and it's taught in Philadelphia, and in California, and in Chicago. And I actually teach it in Nashville. It's primarily for doctors who are willing to make the, you might say, financial, sacrifice 'cause you only charge the same you would charge for a 15 minute visit. I think older doctors can offer that as a service to younger doctors. Take a really comprehensive [00:16:30] history and do a comprehensive physical for their younger doctors who may not have the time. Often they'll say, could you see this patient whose really complicated and needs more time than my schedule will allow? It's a great honor, and it's really a lot of fun.
Alan: Is the idea of narrative medicine what you described before about getting the story, the life story, of the person?
Karl: Well, what you do instead of filling in the blanks like headache. Yes. No. Arm ache. Yes. No. Foot ache. [00:17:00] Yes. No. You actually write it out in narrative story in paragraph form, whole sentences. They can be anywhere from 10 to 40 pages, and then you give it to the patient and their family if they choose. And they get a red pencil and mark it up because some of it may have come out not quite right. Or they can add to it, and they finally have, up to that point in their life, what I would call a pretty comprehensive history. They can carry it with them wherever they go from that point forward seeing [00:17:30] other physicians. If a patient of mine wants to be referred to a center such as the Mayo Clinic or Johns Hopkins, I will do a narrative for them to take with them so that another doctor can read a story about them.
Alan: And they get to participate in the construction of that story. So they've really invested in their own story telling.
Karl: In the beginning I say, "This is the story of this person's medical life as told by." It might be the patient, or the patient and [00:18:00] their mother and two sisters and grandmother all there.
Alan: So the physician who you refer them to gets the benefit of a more three dimensional picture of the person than he or she would get if all they got was answers to the checkbox questions?
Karl: Yes. That's correct. Some of these check box questions have had an unintended consequence, and that is, physician burnout. A recent study by the American Medical Association [00:18:30] showed that fully two-thirds of primary care physicians regard themselves as burned out.
Alan: Two-thirds?
Karl: Two-thirds, and it's because so much of the filling in the blanks seems meaningless. For example, I have a patient who was born with many birth defects. Was born blind and many other problems. I got a form from the insurance company, and it said, "When did this person last appear to be blue?"
Alan: [00:19:00] Blue? What did they mean by that?
Karl: As in slightly sad.
Alan: Oh. I see.
Karl: Document the date, and what you did about it. The very next question was, "When was the last time that this patient expressed that they might be depressed?" What was the date, and what'd you do about it? And the point of that is, it seems silly to be asking that question because who's gonna do anything about that? Whose gonna read that? What is the sense of it?
Alan: Yes. Yes.
Karl: Or have you talked to the patient about lose rugs in their home? Have you talked about pointed corners to the tables where they might fall? Well that's important, but is it what we do?
Alan: It seems to take away any of the personhood of the person you're talking about because everybody has a story. Everybody has a life experience that has texture and meaning to them.
Karl: Yeah, and not just a story but a really important and interesting story. My wife, as you know, is a writer, and she writes about fictional people. But I can promise you on any given day, I see people with stories that are unbelievably interesting. Just this week I saw a new patient who, as a tiny baby, I think age one week, was diagnosed with TB and spent the first 18 years of his life in a TB sanatorium. And his family was poor, and could only come see him two or three times a year. He was in a full body cast for the first six years of his life. He had a little suitcase handle on the side of it. They would carry him around and prop him up here and prop him up there. Those are people who are alive today, and to have him tell his life story is extraordinary.
Alan: You remind me that I was told by a historian of medicine that doctors pretty much only had [00:21:00] placebos and bedside manner until about 100 years ago with the exception of maybe aspirin and maybe one or two other actual medications. The attention to the patient as a person was probably hugely important, and we called it bedside manner. But it was probably medicine in action.
Karl: We need to remember that the human organism has a great defense mechanism in it. [00:21:30] I mean, most viruses and infections will do just fine without all the interventions we do today. I think antibiotics are over used. I'd like to see less of that and more of the old fashioned bedside manner.
Alan: Narrative medicine as you practice it, hearing the story of the person from birth until now, and that procedure you go through with a new patient, contacting the patient like that. Have you ever found that it's actually changed the course of treatment you gave the person?
Karl: Let me tell you at least one story. So a prominent citizen in our state, in fact it was one of the governors, called me and said that he had a colleague who appeared to be dying. She'd been to two medical facilities for diagnosis, and no diagnosis had been forth coming and would I see her and do one of these, what we call chalkboard interviews? So this lady who was 52 years old, came with her sister who was slightly older, her daughter who was in her twenties, her mother and her grandmother who happened to be in a wheel chair. Her main complaint was that she had intractable vomiting and was losing weight and just unable to function.
So I took this long history, and she'd been hospitalized for seven days at one place, ten days at other, had all these fancy tests, and had all the records. So we filled the blackboard with all the things she had to say, and then I decided it was time to examine her. So I asked my nurse to take her to an exam room so that I could examine her, and I came back into the room where we were taking the history. And the grandmother, who was in a wheelchair said, "Karl, I don't mean to be presumptuous." She said, "In fact, I never went to school, and I'm certainly not medically educated. But I need to ask you, that pregnancy test up there, was that a urine test or a blood test?" I said, "Well let me look and see." It was a urine test. She said, "I think that girl's pregnant." Well guess what? She was pregnant.
Alan: Oh.
Karl: And so, she wasn't dying. She was just pregnant late in life and having nausea and vomiting from pregnancy. So did it change the course? I think so.
And one more, if I may. Another woman came in, and she had everything in the book wrong with her. I mean, you name it. She had … Do you have headaches? Yes. Do you have chest pain? Yes. Do you have shortness of breath? Yes. Do you have change in bowel habit? Yes. Has your urinating changed? Have you had rashes? Yes. So I had gone through all of this and really couldn't figure out what was wrong with this woman, but I asked her if she would come with her twin [00:25:00] sister the next time. Her identical twin sister.
So they sat there, and it was clear that they were having a spat. And so I said, "What's the problem?" And my patient said, "Nothing." And the sister said, "Well if you don't tell him, I will." And I said, "Please tell me." And she said, "You have right up there on the blackboard the date that all this started. Is that correct?" And I said, "That's the date she told me." She said, "Do you know what else happened on that date?" And I said, "I do not." And she said, "I won the lottery, and she didn't."
Alan: So [00:25:30] how did that change the cure? You bought her a lottery ticket, or what?
Karl: No, I think we had an opportunity to discuss how this had been very upsetting to this woman who was quite poor, and her sister who had also been quite poor was also very wealthy. I think it had affected her in ways that became physical manifestations of, I don't know what. Jealousy? Or resentment? Or whatever.
Alan: It's so interesting. You wouldn't find that on a checklist.
Karl: It was not on the review [00:26:00] of systems checklist. Did sister win the lottery?
Alan: Let me ask you our seven quick questions. If you have the nerve to go through with seven quick answers, it'd be just really fun. What do you wish you really understood?
Karl: Lately I've been reading Nietzsche's Zarathustra which is, talks about Zoroaster who lived around 3,000 BC [00:26:30] and is considered to be, if you look at it carefully, the father of virtually all religions on Earth. At any rate, I wish I understood why it appears that most human beings have a propensity to posit or make up a god. I wish I understood where that came from.
Alan: Very interesting. What do you wish other people understood about you?
Karl: [00:27:00] I wish people could perhaps understand that I care about them when often it doesn't seem that they think I care about them.
Alan: What's the strangest question anyone has ever asked you?
Karl: You know, we live in the bible belt, and at least once a week somebody asks me if I have personal, intimate relationship with Jesus. And I [00:27:30] really find that difficult. I want to say, "Well you'd have to … a relationship takes two to tango, and you'd have to ask Jesus first." You know, you want to answer it in a very respectful way, and you also want to be honest. I find that hard.
Alan: Yeah. Yeah. How do you stop a compulsive talker?
Karl: I have a lot of compulsive talkers who are my patients, and from time to time [00:28:00] I will stop them and say, "You know, this is extremely interesting, and I'd be grateful if you would flesh this out a little bit more in the form of a letter so we could look at it together."
Alan: Oh, that's … I never heard that one. That's good.
Karl: And rarely do I get that letter.
Alan: Right. Right. Sure, they don't want to listen to it. Is there anyone for whom you just can't feel any empathy?
Karl: No. [00:28:30] Even dreadful people, dreadful, highly-deranged people have in their essence some element of humanity, and I came to that realization working in a hospital called Whitfield For The Criminally Insane down in Mississippi. I met a mentally ill man who had murdered many, many people, but he was mentally ill. On [00:29:00] the one hand, he seemed to have left his humanity, but on the other hand, I don't think he had left it completely. I don't … I think he had a chemical imbalance in his brain that was perhaps correctable.
Alan: It's great that you seem to have an ability to find that shred of humanity in the other person that you can connect with.
Karl: Well part of it is self-interest. I'm hoping others might someday find it in me.
Alan: How [00:29:30] do you like to deliver bad news? In person, on the phone, or by carrier pigeon?
Karl: Well, as a physician I give a lot of unwanted news for sure. You have something for which there's no cure or something of that sort. I think of course the best, ideal way 99% of the time is in person, face-to-face, and to be completely transparent. I think you do a person more harm than good by trying [00:30:00] to hide the facts.
Alan: Right. So what, if anything … Our last question. What, if anything, would make you end a friendship?
Karl: I am absolutely incapable of ending a friendship.
Alan: Oh, that's so interesting.
Karl: Some people find fault in that part of my personhood, but often I feel the thing that appears [00:30:30] to be the factor that would end a friendship is really just a misunderstanding or something that can be worked out. I think when you give up on that, you're really flying in the face of some basic concepts such as atonement, which I think is a very important part of the fabric of our humanity.
Alan: Well, you're my friend, and it's good to know that you'll never give up on that. Thank you, Karl.
Karl: I feel the same way, Alan. Thank you.

The doctor checks her and says nothing to worry, it was acidity attack. Devyaani says she does not eat anything such. She says stress level also is one reason. She leaves. Naksh wakes up, and Muskaan makes him sleep. Bhabhimaa asks Akshara why did she not wake up Naitik. Karishma says yes, what if you fell. Muskaan asks how can she be so careless. Devyaani asks her to sleep, and now wake up early, we will not leave her alone. Akshara says Naitik I did not know this, I m sorry, don't be annoyed. He says you feel what you is right, and you can do the work.
He asks her to rest as doctor said sleep is important. He says I don't want you and baby to have any problem. He makes her rest. Everyone talk about fashion contest in the hotel. Jasmeet says it will be good. Shaurya says he has done all arrangements. He says the fashion show is in swimming costumes. The ladies look on. Akshara wakes up late. Naitik asks her to rest and gives her tea. She says I have to bath and do puja. He says I told Lord that you are ill and puja is done. He says all the works are done. She says she won't have tea. She kisses his hand asking him not to be annoyed. Rajshri asks Vishwamber why he wants to go to meet models. Shaurya says ladies are getting jealous. Anshu makes Varsha jealous. Varsha says we will also go, no one needs us here.
Shaurya says the fashion show is on boys. They are surprised and smile. The man laugh saying jealousy males people blind. Dadi says this is their love. Shaurya says we are not jealous, and trust ourselves and our wives. Varsha says fine, we will come there. The men ask them not to come. Kaki says who is jealous now. They all smile. Naman says I m going office, Naitik will be at home with Akshara. Karishma says we are newly married and you are going office. Karishma talks to Naitik directly, and says I told this to Akshara too. Devyaani asks what did she say, is she the reason for Akshara's unwell state. Karisma gets angry and leaves.
Muskaan smiles seeing Alok. He comes to meet her. He says looking very pretty, going anywhere out. She says no. He says you are looking really good. He gives the pics and says I will leave. She says so soon, you can have coffee. He says fine and orders coffee. She asks how does he know your choice. Alok says this is my fav place, I m coming here since years. She asks about the wall. He says people write their feelings on that wall. She says how nice, did you write anything. Few people come and greet him, asking him to sing a song or play guitar. Muskaan nods yes. Alok plays the guitar. She smiles seeing him.
Naitik tells Akshara that I know why you are worried, why are they doing this. Akshara says I know, this happens. He says you don't take tension by this, we can do anything for them. She smiles and says yes, I will try my best. Everyone clap for Alok. Alok thanks them. Muskaan claps a lot and says wow, beautiful. He says thanks, shall we leave. She says I want to write something there. He says fine, come. She asks did he write anything here. He shows her. She reads that he has written about his past love. She thinks shall I ask about his past GF. Alok says he forgot the car keys, and goes to get it. She writes her feelings on the wall.

Bhabhimaa sees Devyaani happy and talks to her. She says she will give medicines to Dadda ji and leaves. Devyaani is shocked seeing Karishma bring the bag. Karishma does not talk to her and walks out. She cries and goes to Akshara and Naitik. She says Karishma has left the house. They are shocked. He asks who told you. She says I saw it myself, she went. Akshara asks why did she not stop her. Devyaani says please stop her, bring her home. Akshara says I will get her and they leave.
Akshara calls driver and asks where did he drop Karishma. He says the address and says I have come back now. Rajshri says all sarees have come by dry cleaning. They arrange it.

Akshara and Naitik reach the place and go to meet Karishma. Akshara starts scolding her for taking this step, and explains her. She asks her to keep her point if she is right, whats this to leave home.
Karishma says you all blame me, I m hurt by all this, I m not leaving home, no one trusts me or understand my point of view, I came here to donate my old items to my NGO, no one understands me. Akshara says sorry, you came without telling anyone, we felt you…. She says I can't keep anyone happy, you also don't understand me, you proved this from coming here. She gets annoyed.
Akshara tells Devyaani to change her mindset and we have to make efforts to accept Karishma, we are doing injustice with Karishma.

Brittni Shambaugh, a junior theatre major from Sneads Ferry, N.C., is a member of the Anthony Aston Players, a student theatre group, and director of the group's upcoming play, "Death and the Maiden," to be performed Feb. 5, 6 and 7 in the Ring Theatre in the Scales Fine Arts Center. The play, by Ariel Dorfman, is a dramatic thriller about Paulina, a woman who believes that a stranger who comes to her home is the man who tortured and raped her many years before under a military dictatorship.
When did you first become interested in theatre?
I have been doing theatre since kindergarten. My first big production was "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" when I was 7 with the Opera House Theatre Company in Wilmington, N.C.
Why did you decide to be a theatre major?
I came to Wake Forest on a Presidential Scholarship for Theatre, so I knew I wanted to be very involved, but I wasn't positive that I wanted to be a theatre major until sophomore year. The people in the theatre department love what they are doing and that passion is contagious. The major is challenging, because you have to learn the inner workings of the theatre on many different levels. We take classes on designing, acting and directing, theatre history and theatre literature. It is fantastic, though, because majors leave Wake Forest with a broad knowledge of theatre, which is definitely an advantage in the career world.
What do you plan to do after graduation?
I plan to move to Chicago and try to experience the "real world" a little bit, before going to graduate school for Theatre Management. After I graduate from grad school I want to open my own theatre and run it as artistic director.
What has been your favorite acting role?
Last year I was in "Machinal" and that was probably both my favorite and my most challenging role thus far. It was a new experience for me, because it was a totally different style of acting than anything I had previously encountered, and it was a very heavy subject matter. But, it was also incredibly rewarding and a phenomenal learning experience. In April, I will be playing the Fool in "King Lear," and I am super excited about that upcoming experience as well. I have never done Shakespeare before, so I am sure that it is going to be a big challenge and hopefully fun as well.
Members of the Anthony Aston Players decide which plays they will perform, right?
Yes. A number of plays are submitted by students and we vote on which plays we are most interested in performing. After plays are selected, members interested in directing fill out an application outlining their vision for the show and why they would be the best one to direct it. The members then choose the director.
What have you done to prepare for the upcoming play?
I have done a lot of research and analysis and really delved into the play and the circumstances surrounding it. It has been an intense process, and I have grown as a person as a result of my work. As the director, I have to be in tune with each of the characters and, in many ways, it is almost like I am playing all of the roles. Sometimes I find myself getting bogged down by the emotions of all of the characters, and I have to take a step back and remind myself who and where I am.
How do you juggle rehearsals and academics?
It is all about time management. I make a list of everything I need to get done and systematically check things off once they're accomplished. It isn't easy, and I get stressed out just like everyone else. But theatre is something I love and am passionate about, so I make it a priority in my life. I have been working on this show since early November. I cast it in December, and we have been rehearsing since early January.
Why do you think it's important that "Death and the Maiden" be performed?
It's a story that needs to be heard. The play sheds light on human rights violations and the after-effects of torture. It asks: Is murder ever justifiable? What makes someone evil? Where is the balance between keeping the past alive and yet not allowing it to control you? Is it possible to distinguish truth when you are surrounded by lies? And, most importantly I think, what is justice? Can justice truly ever exist?
When audience members leave the play, they may be asking themselves whether or not, in the end, Paulina does kill Roberto in retribution for his violations, but the most important, though incredibly heart-wrenching question, in my opinion, is whether or not she would be justified in doing so.
Brittni Shambaugh is a recipient of the Presidential Scholarships for Distinguished Achievement.

So you've decided to take your blog strategy seriously. This means it's time to get organised and put some systems and procedures in place so that you can manage your content efficiently and effectively.
But how do you choose the best content calendar tool for you? You know you need one, but there are so many options out there – free vs. paid, online vs. offline – how are you meant to know which one is right for you and your business?
With so many editorial calendar tools in the market right now, making this decision can be a bit of a minefield. Every business and marketing expert recommends a different approach.
Here's the good news – I've prepared a guide to help you work it out.
Ask yourself the questions below to find out what you really need from a content calendar tool in order to manage your business blog successfully.
What types of content are you managing?
The first thing you should think about when choosing a content calendar tool is the types of content you want to manage.
I'm going to assume that blogs will be one of them. But do you also want to manage your social media updates from the same tool? What about some images and infographics to go along with the blog? Or rich media like videos and podcasts?
You might only be creating blog posts right now, but it would be worth thinking about what you want to do in the future. Will your strategy involve producing content across multiple channels?
Future-proof your choice of content calendar tool by considering both your current content plan and your potential future one.
What's your budget?
The other main factor in choosing the right content calendar tool is your budget. There are options to suit any price point, ranging from free downloadable templates to free project management tools which you can adapt for blog management, to paid tools designed specifically for managing your content strategy.
Free content calendar templates
You might choose to download a free content calendar template, in PDF or spreadsheet format, if you need a quick and easy solution that doesn't require any customisation or forethought.
These are perfectly suitable when you are working solo on your content strategy, as you won't have any requirements for collaboration, communication, file sharing etc.
Some great examples include:
- CoSchedule Free Editorial Calendar Template
- CMI Editorial Content Calendar
- Convince and Convert Free Content Calendar Template
- Hubspot Editorial Calendar Templates
- Webpage FX Editorial Blogging Calendar and Schedule
Free content calendar tools
If you think you need the features of an online app, so that you can collaborate with team members, keep track of progress, share files etc., but don't have the budget for a paid tool, then there are a number of free project management tools which can easily be adapted for blog management.
The drawback of using free tools for your content calendar is that they will require some initial planning and customisation. You will need to think through your workflows and processes, in order to adapt the tool for the content creation process and to ensure it is set up appropriately for your business structure.
However, once the setup is complete, a free tool can be just as effective as a paid tool, with the added benefit of flexibility to develop your workflows and processes over time.
At Boost, we use Trello to manage both our own blog and our clients'. Some other examples include:
There are also free content calendar plugins for WordPress, which you may find to be a compromise between a free project management tool and a paid content marketing tool.
However, personally, I feel it is risky to manage your content calendar within WordPress itself without some sort of external backup.
Nonetheless, here are a couple to check out:
Paid content calendar tools
Then we have the paid content calendar tools. These are usually cloud-based and have been specifically designed for managing your content strategy, making it particularly easy to collaborate with team members.
By investing in a paid tool, you eliminate (or at least reduce) the need to plan your workflows and procedures, as these have been built directly into the application. They often integrate with other software tools you might be using to manage your business, creating seamless end-to-end processes.
Choosing a paid tool for your editorial calendar also means you can upgrade as your business grows, adding more team members or unlocking additional features. By choosing a specialist tool right from the beginning, you are preventing the need to switch in the future.
Here are some leading examples:

What features do you need?
Based on all this information, what do you need the tool to do? This is where you need to consider your existing business structure and processes.
Team communication
Are you working on your own or with a team? If you've got a team, are they on-site or remote? The reason I ask is that communication should play a key role in your decision making.
If team members are remote, you'll be relying much more heavily on the tool to speak to one another throughout the content creation process. If you're all in one office and collaborate largely through meetings and passing conversations, perhaps not so much.
Manage permissions
On a similar topic, are your team members employees or external contractors? You may need to control the level of access an individual has to your content marketing strategy and processes, depending on their involvement in your business.
For example, you may wish to invite guest authors to publish posts on your blog and only grant temporary access. Or you might encourage contributions from your wider team (ie. not your marketing department), who require either occasional or ongoing access. When it comes to the production of the content, you might work with freelancers or external agencies for specialist tasks such as graphic design or video editing, who also need ongoing access but with restrictions.
Make sure you can collaborate effectively with all the internal and external contributors to your blog and other content.
File sharing
Regardless of whether your team are remote or on-site, or employees or freelancers, you are definitely going to need to share files, mostly text documents and images.
If you use GSuite (formerly Google Apps), then this is dead easy, no matter which tool you're using, as you can simply copy and paste the links direct to the individual files. But perhaps it would make life easier if your chosen editorial calendar tool had a GDrive integration? This would pull through the titles and thumbnails of Google Docs, making them easier to track down in the throng of productivity.
But if you're working with Microsoft or Pages documents then you'll need the ability to upload and download local files. Remember to check how documents are organised within the tool, and how easy it will be to find and access them later.
Processes and workflows
In order to develop a smooth and efficient content creation process, you're going to need procedures to manage your blog. And wouldn't it be great to build these right into your editorial calendar?
Look for a tool where you can create checklist procedures or workflows to ensure that your blog posts are produced methodically and with consistent quality. Progress tracking is an essential part of the content creation process, especially when you are managing multiple posts at once.
Assigning tasks
These procedures will be comprised of individual tasks and, if you're working with team members, these tasks will need to be assigned to your various team roles.
The ability to assign due dates and schedule reminders is useful for holding your team accountable to their tasks and deadlines and provides an element of traceability which is valuable to you as a manager.
Do you need your content calendar tool to integrate with other apps and software? A key example would be WordPress integration. Would you prefer to manage your content creation process within WordPress itself? As I mentioned above, there are a number of standalone plugins, as well as those which are associated with an external app, such as CoSchedule.
Another example would be integration with your social media accounts. If you want to both manage and share your content from the same tool, then this limits your options.
Consider which tools you currently use with your team, and how these will interact with your chosen content calendar tool.
Accessibility and compatibility
How will you access the editorial calendar? A cloud-based application will allow any team member to log in via their own browser, but a simple Excel spreadsheet, even when stored in Dropbox or GDrive, will only allow one person to access it at a time, without causing conflicted copies.
Think about the devices that you and your team use for work. Are they Macs or PCs? Do you need your content calendar tool to be compatible with both? If you often work on-the-go, would it be useful to have access via a mobile or tablet app?
Make sure that whatever tool you choose is both accessible by your whole team and compatible with their equipment.
User-friendliness and interface style
Many of the available editorial calendar tools have the same features, but their defining difference is their interface. Therefore, your choice may be based on your personal working preferences.
For instance, I'm a very visual person and like to have a bird's-eye view of the project I'm working on. I chose to use Trello as a content calendar tool for this reason, as the grid layout and drag and drop features lend themselves to this style of working.
People who prefer a more traditional to-do list interface might choose ToDoist, or if you're a dab-hand with Excel then you might stick to a good old-fashioned spreadsheet.
The other consideration is how user-friendly the tool is for your team members. Depending on their role, they may not be very familiar with online software. Will the interface of your editorial calendar be intuitive for them?
Choose a tool that feels natural and fits with the working preferences of you and your team.
Data and analytics
Do you want to be able to track metrics right from within your editorial calendar? Some tools can provide insight reports on the performance of your content, by integrating with Google Analytics and your social media accounts.
You might also want to track the productivity and efficiency of your team, by keeping time logs and measuring progress against deadlines and milestones.
Having this data at your fingertips, in the form of pretty graphs and charts, can make the job of managing a marketing team much easier.
Manage multiple blogs and channels
Lastly, do you need to manage multiple blogs and media channels from within the same account?
If you're part of a larger organisation, you might have individual blogs for different teams or sections of the business, plus an internal blog, and a company-wide blog. Do you need a tool which can cope with all of these at once?
You might also want the ability to manage additional content channels alongside your blog, like videos or podcasts.
By considering these questions, you can quickly narrow down the vast number of options for content calendar tools and get to the business of creating awesome blog content.

I'd do nothing but reading if I could (ok, maybe eat some great food, buy some fancy shoes between two books...oh, and spend some quality time with the gorgeous guy I married while I am on reading-break anyway...)
And another gem:
"He knew exactly how much Tim liked gossip. In that gays were like women."

Eme's Cereal
We really need to go grocery shopping. We're almost out of food. Jacob asked today, "Mom, are we off the menu". Yes, I said. "Good", he said. "Then can I go and find something to eat". See, we have this menu that tells us what to eat, and when to eat it. They think it's so cool to go in the kitchen and pick out their own stuff. Anyway, Eme was eating the last of the grown -up cereal. Have you tried it. Yah, not the best. But high in fiber and protein, if you like that kind of thing. So she eats her cereal, and goes in the other room. I come in to check on her later, and she says "Mom, you know that cereal that I ate". "Yah", I tell her. "Well, they needed to work on it some". Hysterical.

I am a sculptor currently located in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Having a background in architecture, I focus on idiosyncratic notions of building and construction while working at a playful, post-card sized scale. The Wall Unit Series (2012-present) is an ongoing series of miniatures constructed out of commonly found building materials to which I add a feminine touch. I sew drywall, carve it with a dremel, and attach various pieces of hardware, personal ephemera, and other nonsensical items to create tiny archeological worlds of wonder. The small scale is intended to create intimacy and draw the eye inward toward the hidden layers. I seek my inspiration in the body, domestic experience, and humorous obstacles that crop up in daily life like weeds in a garden.
I received my MFA in Painting from Hunter College and Bachelor in Architecture from Rhode Island School of Design. My work has been shown at NURTUREart, Boston Center for the Arts, Morehead State University, Paul Robeson Galleries at Rutgers University Newark, Bronx Arts Space, Trestle Gallery and John Michael Kohler Arts Center. I was awarded residencies at MacDowell, Millay and am an Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts grant recipient. I am the Founder/Director of Maxwell Outpost, an artist residency in the Catskills and teach in the International ESL Studio Program at SVA.

Methods: Thirty-nine eyes of 39 patients with open-angle glaucoma showed superior or inferior hemifield defects (superior hemifield defects, 27 eyes; inferior hemifield defects, 12 eyes). We measured the retinal thickness of the parafovea and fovea centralis corresponding to a defect or an apparently normal hemifield by spectral domain optical coherence tomography. We then analyzed the relationship between the retinal thickness corresponding to an apparently normal hemifield and the severity of the glaucomatous visual field defect on the other side of the same eye. Results: We found that the retinal thickness of the parafovea and fovea centralis significantly decreased, as the hemifield defect increased. The retinal thickness of the parafovea, the inner sector, outer sector, and inner and outer sectors, corresponding to the apparently normal hemifields significantly decreased with the progression of the hemifield defect on the other side. The mean±SD age of patients was 66.5±9.1 years and the refraction was −1.3±2.4 D. Conclusions: Macular retinal thickness decreases with a corresponding visual hemifield defect in glaucoma patients. Retinal structural changes precede the loss of the visual field in the apparently normal side. © 2013 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.

Creating a common platform for youth to showcase their talents in areas such as dance and futsal competitions, the Youth Carnival themed, "Celebrating Youth", also gave the opportunity for youth to come together and be inspired by each other's
The amount of time and effort required by the competitors to invest into their practice sessions motivated them to put their best foot forward during the competitions yesterday. One of the futsal competitors, Naresh, said: "a competition is not all about winning, it also involves learning good character traits from fellow competitors and
using that to improve ourselves as individuals and as a team too". Winners of the dance competition, 'Magic of Facez', remarked: "Emerging as champions for this competition is a positive and new experience for the team as we got to know the strengths of our competitors only today but instead of allowing that to be a setback, we took it in our stride to keep us motivated to continue performing at our level best throughout the competition. It was also a good platform to meet like-minded people who are talented in many different ways".
Guest of Honour, Ms Indranee Rajah, Senior Minister of State for Law and Finance, and President SINDA commented: "Our youth have energy and talent; this event will be a start of their journey to develop their own potential further and think about how they can contribute to the community".
One of the key highlights of the Carnival included a panel session that featured four prominent youth who shared their experiences in overcoming challenges and their aspirations in education, sports and community service. The panel session aimed to inspire other youth to discover their passions and excel in them. One of the panelists, Ms M.Premikha, 21, a medical student from the National University of Singapore shared her thoughts on the panel session: "what made the panel session really special was that youth came from various academic and social backgrounds and shared on their lives and challenges in the hope to inspire other youth". Bustling with activities, the Carnival also featured local bands and performers, comprising youth with diverse talents, including groups such as Mayan Suns, Damaru, Aksara Collective, Veritas, Girls Power, rappers and beatboxers. A range of activities capturing youths' interests, including carnival games, water soccer, DJ workshop, 3D drawing, contests and many more kept youth busy and engaged at the carnival.
The Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association (SANA), Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB), National Youth Council (NYC), Singapore Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SICCI), Community Health Assessment Team (CHAT), Health Promotion Board (HPB) and media partners Vasantham and Oli 96.8FM supported SINDA through sponsorships and booth activities to raise awareness on drug abuse, cyber bullying, gaming addiction and health issues, amongst others. The carnival ended with an electrifying concert by Vasantham artistes and local bands.
The event was graced by Ms Indranee Rajah, Senior Minister of State for Law and Finance, and President, SINDA. Mr Baey Yam Keng, Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth was also in attendance.

Step 5: Once It Starts
Once your content starts hitting the social media world, monitor your accounts for feedback.

It merits recalling, be that as it may, that however, individuals may not straightforwardly get to your principle site by means of social locales, it might incite them to return later. Continuously remember that web-based life is for sharing substance, so any like, remark or retweet is sure.
