Whether you are a nurse, a doctor, or even a caregiver, there are many ways in which you may have been trained to show support for your patients. If you put yourself in the shoes of one of your patient, you will quickly realize there are many things that would change. For most, a patient has some type illness or issue that prevents them from being healthy and performing normal activities that you may take for granted.
When considering patients, it's important to remember what they are going through, and some of the possible side effects of the diagnosis they may receive. There are many physical, emotional, and even financial repercussions that may result from a medical diagnosis provided to a patient. Sympathizing and understanding the struggles or challenges they may be dealing with is one of the most important things that a caregiver can provide.
As a medical professional, your employer most likely trained you to undergo the common steps to helping a patient while they are in the realm of your care. Some of these steps include ensuring they are comfortable in the hospital, making sure they are being supervised, and ensuring they are recovering or gaining strength from whichever illness they may be overcoming while in your care. Outside of these core values, there are plenty of personal aspects in which medical professionals can show emotional support for their patients.
Show Concern
Outside of your daily routines and tasks in the office, it's important that you show emotional concern and support for all patients you come into contact with. Take the extra step, and go outside of just providing the care they need, and checking on them regularly. Like stated before, put yourself in their shoes and try to empathize what they are dealing with on a day to day basis. Take a moment to think about some of the thoughts that are going through the patient's head, and think of ways in which you can relate to them.
Initiate regular conversations with your patient, and ask them about family life and friends outside of the hospital. Not only does this show concern, but it helps the patient to relieve their mind of the current position they are in, and reflect upon things outside of their day to day events within the care facility.
Give Suggestions
The opinions and viewpoints of medical professionals such as doctors and nurses are valued at higher levels than they may imagine. When speaking with a patient, provide them with genuine suggestions that can help improve their daily routine. Speak with them about nutrition, dieting, and exercising habits that can aid in their recovery process. Maybe suggest support groups that can help their families outside of the care facility when coping with the current situation. Doctors and nurses can also provide resources to help the patient learn more about the medicine they are taking, and suggest online readings that can further educate their family on some of the normal or regular occurrences that patients may be dealing with.
Lend a Helping Hand
For that special bond, consider offering a helping hand to the patient or person under care. These can be smaller steps that make a large impact on a patient's well-being and emotions. If you feel a special connection with someone dealing with cancer, go the extra mile and bring in a dessert of their choice one day. Or, offer to bake a meal for the patient's family.
Is there an area of life, outside of the patients control that is bothering them? Perhaps there is a leak in their home that they cannot tend to because of their current status. Take the extra step, and coordinate a repairman to visit the patient's home to take care of the leak. Completing small tasks such as these can make a larger-scale impact on a patient's emotions and help them to stay more positive while they are under the care of medical professionals.
Do you know someone currently sick, or dealing with an illness or disease that has affected their ability to perform day to day tasks? Stop and brainstorm ways in which those providing care for these individuals can make a positive impact on patients and their emotions. The smallest gestures of kindness and concern can make a larger-scale impact than you may imagine. In what ways can you help someone dealing with a similar situation?

ArabicaDabra Coffee Coming to a Theatre Near You
ArabicaDabra's coffee will be seen in two upcoming films thanks to a product placement deal with Legacy Entertainment.
When Mendelson started her company more than two years ago, she never imagined this scenario. As a former executive for an NGO, she traveled the world to help those with AIDS in Africa, India and Latin America. She had but one aim at the time, to sell enough coffee so that she could use some of her profits to purchase bicycles, goats, pigs and looms for resource poor families in the countries where her coffee beans grow.
Then she received the call from Legacy, a call she momentarily thought was a hoax, asking her if she would like ArabicaDabra Coffee featured on television and in films. A company scout had come across the coffee and took some test shots of the packaging. It's striking black, brown and gold labeling made it pop on screen.
"I'm just glad I called back," said Mendelson, who is estatic about the product placement deal. "I never dreamed I would be offered this type of opportunity so soon after starting my business. I look forward to a long-standing relationship with Legacy Entertainment."
This has been quite a year for Mendelson, who currently has her coffee in Whole Foods Market in Tarzana and Woodland Hills, CA. To find out more about the coffee, how it ends up in your cup, and the difference your coffee purchase can make, visit www.tastymagic.com .
Since its inception in 2010, ArabicaDabra Coffee Co., LLC has devoted a portion of its net proceeds to farming families, widows and others who need a little help from the outside world to improve their lives. Many live in desolate areas of India and Africa, places where traditional NGOs do not venture. Through her contacts in those regions, Mendelson tries to fill the economic gap with the purchase of looms, pigs, goats and bicycles. ArabicaDabra is committed to supporting other like companies that want to help change the world. Mendelson encourages people to BE THE CHANGE by buying local, buying from small businesses and supporting businesses that care about the world we live in.

I've gotten a lot of belts to try out, but have ended up mostly using the leather 5.11 line. They're plenty sturdy enough, are nice enough for dressing up a bit, but can also serve as a more casual belt. The biggest issue I've had is the dye wearing off at friction spots, but I've been able to touch those up. I've heard some people experience the layers splitting, but haven't run into that yet, but good deals seem fairly frequent on them, and I've managed to get a few stockpiled up for the time being.
Of course, for a little more expense, some of the fantastic makers mentioned above would be able to provide you with a lifetime belt that is much less likely to split or have the dye rub off.

Best-selling author Chris Mooney uses cutting-edge research to explain the psychology behind why today's Republicans reject reality - it's just part of who they are. From climate change to evolution, the rejection of mainstream science among Republicans is growing, as is the denial of expert consensus on the economy, American history, foreign policy, and much more.
Why won't Republicans accept things that most experts agree on? Why are they constantly fighting against the facts? Science writer Chris Mooney explores brain scans, polls, and psychology experiments to explain why conservatives today believe more wrong things, appear more likely than Democrats to oppose new ideas and less likely to change their beliefs in the face of new facts, and sometimes respond to compelling evidence by doubling down on their current beliefs.
Certain to spark discussion and debate, The Republican Brain also promises to add to the lengthy list of persuasive scientific findings that Republicans reject and deny.
Chris Mooney is the best-selling author of The Republican War on Science, the host of the Point of Inquiry podcast, and the author of The Intersection blog for Science Progress. He has written several books, as well as articles for Mother Jones, American Prospect, Harper's, Washington Post, USA Today, and Slate. He has appeared on The Last Word, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Book TV, Science Friday, Morning Joe, and Fresh Air, among other programs.

"Most dishonest author on science and reality"
What the author essentially argues is that when Democrats disagree with Republicans and won't support the Republicans policies, they are idiots. Hitler tried these tactics in the late 1930s defining Jews and dissidents as rats.
The reader was very good.
99.3% of his biased words.
What the author essentially argues is that when Democrats disagree with Republicans and won't support the Republicans policies, they, the Republicans, are idiots. One of his many beyond-idiot examples? Well, the author not once looked at reality, but based his scientific analogies, by stating on page 87 that 52% to 44% agreed with Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth" and other computer models, showing the Earth will end about four years now, instead of merely looking out the window. Hence, the Republicans are extremists out to destroy America, if we don't buy carbon credits. Considering Obamacare the author never mentioned the fact that several polls show a majority of Americans to be against the Affordable Care Act, not only during the debate prior to its passage, but even today 3+ years after its passage. So if those Republicans take the same position as a majority of Americans, how can they be extremists? Conclusion, the author contents Republicans are the threat to America. Here the author is that cheap, and intellectually dishonest. It's no wonder his book was endorsed by Salon, The Washington Post, and even the New York Times' silly comment the book is . . . "a vitally important topic and gets it basically right." Hitler tried these tactics in the late 1930s defining Jews and dissidents as rats.
"Good - if it is actually a psychology experiment"
I would raise my 2 Star rating of the story if it turns out this is really a large sample psychology experiment to see if by complimenting liberals on their smartness the book can convince them to conflate the Democratic Party with liberalism, David Frum with credibility, nuclear "waste disposal" with nuclear waste disposal (when there is only "temporary storage") and supporting Obama with Occupy Wall Streets objectives. God I hope the experiment gets negative results!

7 skills for a successful law career
The legal sector is well known for its competitive nature. Brush up on these skills to give yourself the best chance of job success
Commercial awareness
Legal recruiters cite commercial awareness as one of the most important attributes a candidate can possess. As a lawyer it's essential that you see the big picture, meaning that you not only need a firm grasp of legal issues, but also of the business environment in which your firm operates. Understanding the academic side of law is no longer enough, business acumen is vital as clients often expect a commercial solution to their problems.
You'll be expected to show commercial awareness from the start of the application process by demonstrating a thorough knowledge of the firm you're applying to. It's also likely that you'll be tested on your commercial awareness during an assessment day.
To impress, you must show an interest in, and knowledge of, law, business and wider issues such as current affairs and be able to give an opinion on the stories that interest you. Keep up to date with the industry by:
- signing up to legal publications to help you follow market trends
- setting up Google alerts for the firms you want to work for
- following these firms on social media
- reading the literature on their websites.
Strong oral and written communication skills are vital and without them you'll struggle to carry out the duties of a solicitor effectively. Excellent listening ability is also important when working with clients as you need to be able to build relationships and engender confidence.
You need to be a confident speaker when arguing a case in court, negotiating settlements and when explaining complex information to clients. You'll need to use persuasive, clear and succinct language. Public speaking is also required in the role of a barrister. To hone this skill while at university, volunteer as the spokesperson in group activities or get involved in debate teams.
Written ability is equally important when drafting letters and legal documents. You'll need to know the technical and legal language and be able to convey it clearly and concisely. To improve your written communication skills get involved with your university's law society, you could take meeting minutes, draft emails, write newsletters or manage social media accounts.
You should also develop interpersonal skills; a lot of the projects you work on will require a team effort, so you must be able to build strong working relationships with colleagues. Getting involved in any team activity, for example a sport, should help to improve your communication skills.
Attention to detail
A sharp eye for accuracy is crucial to the success of your legal career. A single word out of place can completely change the meaning of a clause or contract and misspelt or ungrammatical emails, letters or documents can give clients a bad impression, costing your firm their business.
When applying for jobs or training contracts bear in mind that employers look for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors. If your cover letter is vague, too long or littered with spelling mistakes, a recruiter may question what a potential client would make of your letter of advice. To improve your proofreading and attention to detail volunteer your proofing services to student publications such as newsletters and magazines and get used to going through your own work with a fine-tooth comb.
Time management
To stay on top of your challenging workload and meet demanding deadlines you'll need excellent organisation and time management skills. You need to be an efficient multi-tasker with the ability to juggle competing priorities. You'll also need a solid work ethic as hours can be long.
There are a number of ways to practise effective time management. Making to-do lists and prioritising tasks in order to complete multiple projects is one way. Alternatively, you could devise a revision timetable to manage university exams. Everyone manages their workload differently but by the time you get to the interview stage you need to be able to demonstrate to potential employers the method that works best for you.
Getting involved in extracurricular activities or taking on a part-time job will not only fine-tune your time management, but it also demonstrates to employers that you're able to divide and manage your time effectively. They will also provide useful examples of successful time management, which can be used during interviews. However, you need to make sure that additional activities or work commitments don't interfere with, or impact on, your studies. This, in itself, will be an excellent exercise in time management
Academic ability
The profession is intellectually demanding and recruiters will be on the look-out for candidates who can process complex information and draw knowledgeable conclusions. You'll need to prove that you have the intellectual ability to cope with the pressures of the job and ordinarily you'll demonstrate this through your school and university achievements. The majority of high-profile law firms require candidates to have at least a 2:1 but firms that accept a 2:2 do exist - however, you'll need to have some relevant legal work experience and argue your case.
If you think your academic record could do with a boost you could consider a Master of Laws (LLM). The LLM is in no way a guarantee of a training contract and isn't a prerequisite for employment. However, if you'd like to prove to potential employers that you're capable of more than your 2:2 undergraduate grade and you'd like to specialise in a certain area such as international law, criminal litigation or maritime then an LLM might be for you.
While academic ability is important recruiters increasingly appreciate well-rounded candidates so get involved in extracurricular activities, take up an interesting hobby, join a sports team, volunteer with the Citizens Advice network or learn a language. All of these things will give your application an edge.
Resilience and self confidence
Legal careers are competitive. Demonstrate your commitment to a career in law through relevant work experience and remember that when it comes to standing out from the crowd, determination and enthusiasm go a long way. As does resilience and confidence in your own abilities.
Don't be overwhelmed by difficulties in securing a training contract or pupillage. This is a challenging career and it's not for everyone. Have the confidence to apply (and re-apply if necessary), seeking and acting upon feedback. Do you need to develop your skills further or gain a better understanding of the profession? Do you know how to sell your experience against the skills required?
Many students have the potential, but just don't know how to use examples to illustrate their abilities. It takes practice to get it right.
Research and analysis
Reading large amounts of information, absorbing facts and figures, analysing material and then distilling it into something manageable is a feature of any law career, whether working for a commercial firm or practising as a criminal barrister.
The key is being able to identify what is relevant out of the mass of information and then to explain it clearly and concisely to your client. Hone this skill by taking large documents or long news articles and making five-point bulleted lists of the most important themes.
Research also plays a huge role in a lawyer's day-to-day job. You'll need research skills when doing the background work on a case, drafting legal documents and advising clients on complicated issues. Use your time at university to familiarise yourself with internet and library resources and build up a network of contacts. As a newly qualified solicitor or barrister industry connections can prove to be a useful source of advice.

As the number of overlapping trajectories grows, exploiting smoothness becomes increasingly important to disambiguate the association of successive points. However, in many important problems an… (More)

|[jira] Updated: (HADOOP-3245) Provide ability to persist running jobs (extend HADOOP-1876)
|Fri, 12 Sep 2008 20:21:44 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3245?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Amar Kamat updated HADOOP-3245: ------------------------------- Attachment: HADOOP-3245-v5.36.1-no-log.patch Attaching a patch that is updated to trunk. Following are the changes 1) There seems to be a bug in {{RawLocalFileSystem}}, see [here|HADOOP-4167]. A simple fix is to synchronize all such accesses to history directory in {{JobHistory}}. Clearly this solution wont work if some external process changes/deletes files from jobhistory directory. The attached patch synchronizes all the apis that might get invoked simultaneously. 2) {{JobHistory.parseHistoryFromFS()}} allows incomplete log lines to be passed to the listener. This is an issue for {{RecoveryManager}} as partial updates might lead to inconsistent state. One way to overcome this is to have a _LINE_DELIMITER_ just to indicate that the line is complete. The only drawback with this approach is that its a backward incompatible change where the new parser (with line-delimiters) wont be able to parse old jobhistory files. Will open a jira to address this. For now I have implemented the _LINE_DELIMITER_ approach. > Provide ability to persist running jobs (extend HADOOP-1876) > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-3245 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3245 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: mapred > Reporter: Devaraj Das > Assignee: Amar Kamat > Attachments: HADOOP-3245-v2.5.patch, HADOOP-3245-v2.6.5.patch, HADOOP-3245-v2.6.9.patch, HADOOP-3245-v4.1.patch, HADOOP-3245-v5.13.patch, HADOOP-3245-v5.14.patch, HADOOP-3245-v5.26.patch, HADOOP-3245-v5.30-nolog.patch, HADOOP-3245-v5.31.3-nolog.patch, HADOOP-3245-v5.33.1.patch, HADOOP-3245-v5.35.3-no-log.patch, HADOOP-3245-v5.36-no-log.patch, HADOOP-3245-v5.36.1-no-log.patch > > > This could probably extend the work done in HADOOP-1876.

Major safety problems revealed with Lawrence Twp. school bus program
A top official at Lawrence Township Schools admits poor maintenance on the district's school buses may have put thousands of students in danger. While the district tries to implement changes, insiders fear student safety may continue to be at risk.
A bus mechanic calls it "deplorable."
Bus drivers use the terms "embarrassing" and "ridiculous."
A state police inspector chooses the word "troubling."
And school officials say it's "totally unacceptable."
They are all referring to a recent inspection of Lawrence Township school buses conducted by Indiana State Police.
The annual inspection, which took place in January and February, resulted in 70 buses being placed "out of service" by ISP. Put another way, 40% of the district's entire bus fleet was pulled off the road due to significant safety and maintenance problems identified by inspectors.
"That should be a concern for the school district, it should be a concern for any parent, it's a concern to us that indicates there needs to be attention to their maintenance plan," said ISP spokesman Dave Bursten. "Any time you have that many buses placed out of service, there's an issue related to the safe transportation of children that needs to be addressed."
Tires, brakes and risk of fire
Lawrence Township's buses were placed out of service at a rate four times higher than the state average, according to state police statewide statistics.
Inspection reports show the problems recently identified by ISP included bad tires; dangerous brakes; broken headlights and tail lights; missing or malfunctioning safety devices; and major fuel leaks, oil leaks and exhaust leaks which could cause a fire.
School officials from Indiana's tenth largest school district admit the inspection was terrible.
"My first reaction was 'Wow. Unacceptable,' said Rodger Smith, Lawrence Township Schools' executive director of operations. As the administrator who oversees the district's program, Smith was asked to explain why the inspection was so bad.
"I think overall, it's our lack of [attention] to the day-to-day [maintenance] as a bus comes in. We should be catching the tires, the exhaust leaks, the tears in seats," he said.
Asked if the lack of attention had put the safety of the district's 15,000 students at risk, he paused and slowly nodded his head up and down.
"Could have," he replied. "That's why we're changing what we're doing."
The admission comes just a few days after a school spokeswoman downplayed bus safety concerns raised by 13 Investigates.
"The state inspection was fine. I don't see the story here," district communications coordinator Mary Louise Bewley told WTHR. "We're talking about buses that had torn seat cushions, and for that you're going to do a story that makes us look bad."
That position seemed to change quickly after the district learned Eyewitness News had talked with several of its current and former bus mechanics and bus drivers who all share serious concerns.
"We all knew it was going to happen"
"They started rejecting buses left and right," a mechanic recalled about the first day of bus inspections in January. "We all knew it was going to happen because we hadn't prepared for it."
"We'd usually get months to get ready for state inspection, but we only got one day this year," said another mechanic. "They said to come in on a Saturday, but how do you get 200 buses ready in one day?"
All of the bus mechanics who talked with WTHR asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation by the school district. They say state inspectors were furious to see the condition of the buses.
"They could tell there was no work put into it. Brake chambers bad. Tire rods bad. Stuff that shouldn't have been happening," a veteran mechanic said.
Why was there so little preparation for an inspection that had been announced months ahead of time?
"I think it was a money thing," said one of the mechanics. "The idea is 'save as much money as you possibly can.' I can understand that, but you don't put kids at risk."
Mechanics also told WTHR many parts needed to repair buses are no longer stocked in the Lawrence Township bus garage. To cut costs, the parts are ordered only when needed.
"Part of the problem is a cost issue," agreed Smith, who said property tax caps enacted two years ago have cost the school district almost a million dollars annually from its transportation budget.
But he said the recent state inspection did serve as a wake-up call to implement change.
The biggest change, according to Smith, is a new policy requiring a top-to-bottom inspection of each school bus when it's brought into the district garage for repairs or routine maintenance.
Access denied
WTHR asked to visit the Lawrence Township bus garage to see the changes first hand. Smith denied the request, explaining he did not want anything to distract mechanics from doing their job.
"We want them to be more attentive," he explained. "I don't want to take away their focus."
Mechanics say the district's new policy to spend more time with each bus may sound like a good idea, but it actually means more buses are now being neglected.
"We just haven't been able to get to do our preventative maintenance because there's not enough people to go around," a mechanic pointed out. "There's just not enough manpower to do it all because we don't have enough mechanics."
Just a few years ago, the Lawrence Township bus garage employed seven mechanics. Because of budget cuts, it now has just four – four mechanics to maintain 199 buses.
By comparison, Center Grove Schools also have 4 mechanics, but that school district has 100 buses – half as many as Lawrence Township.
"We know four is not enough," said Smith, who is trying to hire another mechanic to add to his short-handed staff. "Help is on the way."
In the meantime, Lawrence bus drivers say they often have to wait weeks to get much needed repairs.
Drivers angry
13 Investigates talked to seven Lawrence bus drivers, including current drivers and those who have driven for the school district within the past twelve months. Like the mechanics, most asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution or losing their jobs.
"The issues I've seen, that I've reported, are extreme safety problems… [we're] talking braking systems," said a driver who's been with Lawrence Township Schools for nearly 20 years. She said she is now driving a bus with brakes that "lock up" on a regular basis. The problem has been reported twice. Each time, she says it took a week to get her bus into the repair shop and mechanics still haven't solved the problem.
"I'm still experiencing the same issues. I don't feel that it's safe," she said, adding that parents are not aware of the problems.
Asked why she is still driving the bus she believes to be unsafe, the driver responded that she has learned to deal with the braking problems, which "jerk the bus pretty hard."
"I really don't have an option," she said. "If you report it and if they say it's fixed, I mean aside from not showing up to work, you really don't have an option."
Several bus drivers are choosing another option.
They tell Eyewitness News they plan to retire at the end of the school year. Other drivers have already quit.
"The problems started about a year ago when new management was brought in," said former Lawrence bus driver Jackie Young. "After that we couldn't get anything fixed because they weren't ordering parts and fixing stuff. They said it wasn't in the budget."
Young said she reported bald tires, sluggish brakes and other safety concerns on her Lawrence school bus, but had to wait more than six months to get them repaired. "I'd go in time after time and they still wouldn't fix them," she said.
After 27 years of driving school buses for Lawrence Township, Young quit last May after what she describes as a disagreement with her managers.
"The way they are running things now, I'm embarrassed to say I ever drove for Lawrence Township."
Sweeping changes?
The school district says it has completed all repairs ordered this winter by Indiana State Police and all 199 of the buses are now safe – even if it is taking a while to address repairs requested by drivers.
Smith told WTHR tight budgets have forced him to re-evaluate all operations of the school transportation department. He says some of the implemented changes have resulted in disgruntled employees.
"Any time you make changes, you have a group that likes it and a group that won't. We are now holding people accountable and raising expectations, and you have some employees who don't like that. Not everyone likes change," he said.
Some drivers and mechanics believe the change that's coming is the total privatization of the school district's bussing operation, a theory that Smith is not willing to dispel.
"Do we have to look at that as an option? Absolutely," he said. "Will it happen? I can't say one way or another. But can it be done better by an outside company within our budget? It's a conversational item that's taking place right now."
For now, a large banner hangs across a school bus in Lawrence Township.
It's a massive help wanted sign, seeking bus drivers and mechanics for the school district's transportation program. Some of those who currently work inside the program say it needs help – lots of it – in many areas.
"We're still way behind on routine maintenance because we're so short-handed," said a mechanic. "That is a safety issue."
"I think they've lost sight that our job is to transport children safely to and from school on a daily basis," a driver added. "That bus is full of kids. You just hope nothing happens."
The safety of our students is our highest priority in Lawrence Township Schools. We, too, were concerned to see that 40% of our buses failed inspection on first review; however, we took swift action to repair the buses, many of which returned to service on the same day problems were identified. We can assure our families that all buses currently transporting students and bus drivers are safe and road worthy based on inspection by the Indiana State Police.
Suggested Links
The district has new processes in place to ensure future inspections meet ISP expectations. Among those changes are bus checks by drivers at the beginning and end of each run, with a check-off sheet to be provided to mechanics when issues are identified; stronger accountability of mechanics' performance; and hiring more mechanics.
The investigation continues Wednesday
Lawrence Township is not the only school district to have school buses fail their annual state inspection. If your child's bus failed its safety check, would you want to know? Wednesday night, 13 Investigates will show you why the state still hasn't delivered important information about your kids' school buses that you were supposed to get years ago. The investigation continues Wednesday at 6pm on Eyewitness News.

Winner of the 2010 COSTA Biography Award. A total of 264 wood and ivory carvings, none of them larger than a matchbox: potter Edmund de Waal was entranced when he first encountered the collection in the Tokyo apartment of his Great Uncle Iggie. Later, when Edmund inherited the 'netsuke', they unlocked a story far larger than he could ever have imagined.…
The Ephrussis came from Odessa, and at one time were the largest grain exporters in the world; in the 1870s, Charles Ephrussi was part of a wealthy new generation settling in Paris. Marcel Proust was briefly his secretary and used Charles as the model for the aesthete Swann in Remembrance of Things Past. Charles's passion was collecting; the netsuke, bought when Japanese objects were all the rage in the salons, were sent as a wedding present to his banker cousin in Vienna.
Later, three children - including a young Ignace - would play with the netsuke as history reverberated around them. The Anschluss and Second World War swept the Ephrussis to the brink of oblivion. Almost all that remained of their vast empire was the netsuke collection, smuggled out of the huge Viennese palace (then occupied by Hitler's theorist on the 'Jewish Question��), one piece at a time, in the pocket of a loyal maid – and hidden in a straw mattress.
In this stunningly original memoir, Edmund de Waal travels the world to stand in the great buildings his forebears once inhabited. He traces the network of a remarkable family against the backdrop of a tumultuous century. And, in prose as elegant and precise as the netsuke themselves, he tells the story of a unique collection which passed from hand to hand - and which, in a twist of fate, found its way home to Japan.
This audio edition also features an interview with Edmund De Waal from the Vintage Books podcast.

There are no reviews for this title yet.
"Stay with it"
The start was a little slow; it was hard to stay engaged unless you are passionate about ceramic art; but keep going. Once past the first 'part' of the book it was totally fascinating. The amount of contextual detail de Waal has managed to find that surrounds the lives of the Ephrussi family from mid 19th to mid twentieth century adds colour to a turbulent period of European history. A great read.
This is a memoire of an entire family - their heritage and progress - and the way artistic things handled by their owners links us together. Special book
The House by the Lake - Thomas Harding This is another book about a whole family who developed and were then affected by the emergence of the Third Reich
Not heard others but will do so
Yes. I have already read the hard copy twice. One to keep forever
It is a book to treasure. I read the paperback (out first) Then bought the hardback for the photos. Then listened to the audio for the additional pleasure it gave
"Deeply moving"
A deeply moving story that chronicles the resting places of the collection of netsuke. It follows the personal family history and also gives great insight into the society they live in. It took me a little while to get into it, but once captured I was enthralled. I would certainly recommend it.
"Shocking and beautifully paced"
The truth of history discovered as primary source material was incredible - de Waal clearly put a huge effort to recover the story of his incredible family and wrap the story into vast political events to which we have become a little neutralised.
Loved the podcast at the end - would have loved this whole book to have been read out loud by Edmund but the reader was fine!
"good book love the real life aspect"
loved the real life aspect
story very well told
you never know what life will present to you sometimes it is beyond your imaginings
"Authentic, provocative, intelligent family history."
Wide ranging, detailed, innovative history of the last century, from an unusual perspective, which has a powerful intelligence and unsettling tone which the listener will find difficult to ignore. Some might find this family history bleak and pedantic but I loved it for its originality, painstaking research and authentic voice. A must read.
"A struggle"
This is the only audible book that I have regularly fallen asleep while listening to and then not been inclined to rewind to the bits I have missed. I forced myself to and made it to the end eventually but I didn't enjoy it much. It did improve as the book went on but I found the story progression to slow for me.
I don't think this genre holds my attention well enough to consider other books of the same type.
The performance was good. It was just the material that he had to work with that I didn't like.
A lot of the book is very visual, lots of descriptions of objects so may be it would work better as a movie or TV series.
Deft, subtle, moving; comprehensive, erudite and well-expressed. Basically, awesome. A good reading too, expressive and an easy voice to spend a few hours with.
"The Hare with Amber Eyes by Edmund de Waal"
I was trying to read this book for book club and finding it quite impossible until my daughter suggested this audio version. It contains a lot of historical art details and unfamiliar words difficult to pronounce. Michael Maloney read the book with ease so I was able to get to the end unlike the majority of our book club who gave up before half way. A great deal of research has gone into this story and will be of interest to family members in the future.
Descriptions of life in Japan.
The best bit was getting to end before book club day. It was such a relief .
Thank you Michael Maloney for making it possible.
Since listening to this book I have seen netsuke for sale in antique shops which I had not noticed before. Anyone could start to collect them today. I had the impression that the "hare" was going to be the centre of the story, this is not the case it must just have been Edmund's favourite netsuke which he carried in his pocket while doing his family research.
This book is beautiful - a story of a family, European and world history of the last 2 centuries, social attitudes to women, Jews, and others, relationships, art. It is entirely about memory and perception and it's high art. It's a gripping story, accessible while being literary, and very well read. I highly recommend it to anyone looming for something a little different to the normal run of things.

It was the fourth time Wright has scored 20 or more.
"When we get the ball to those two guys, it usually means good things for us," Williams said.
With 13 rebounds, Hansbrough registered his fourth double-double of the season and the 10th of his career. Twenty of his points came in the second half.
"I just felt like in the second half things were going well for me and I got in a groove and I just kept going at it aggressively," Hansbrough said. "It was a combination of my tendency of getting the ball and getting good looks, posting up well and my teammates getting me the ball."
After an almost even first half from a shooting percentage standpoint, Carolina burst out of the locker room ahead just 36-30 to rattle off a 15-6 run. The Tar Heels also scored the final 10 points of the game, out-shooting FSU 52 percent to 29 in the final 20 minutes.
"We want to play at a fast tempo, but that does not mean we want to take quick shots; we want to take great shots," Roy Williams said. "I think we did a much better job of that in the second half. In the first half we took some bad shots. We were shooting it too quickly. That was the whole emphasis at halftime."
UNC has eclipsed 50 percent field goal shooting in the second half of 11 games this year including the last six in a row.
"Usually I try to come up with some kind of rhyme or reason as to why we lost a game," FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said. "The truth of the matter is, we got beat by a much better basketball team. This team is going to be a handful, but the thing is, they've still got a lot of room for improvement. They execute their offense very well and they're doing what Roy wants them to. This might be the year we're glad we're not playing them but one time."
Carolina committed just 10 turnovers and has 45 assists against 20 miscues over its last two contests.
Reyshawn Terry was held scoreless for the first time since UNC's loss at Southern Cal last year, but he pulled down seven rebounds, dished for three assists and blocked a pair of shots.
Quentin Thomas has seven assists without a turnover since returning from injury two games ago.
Ty Lawson's four steals matched his team-high for the season, while Wayne Ellington had a season-high five assists.
The second-ranked Tar Heels (14-1, 1-0 ACC) are poised to take over the nation's top spot this week for the first time during the regular season since 2000-01, a situation Williams said he would rather be in at the end of the year.
"Frankly my dear…," Williams said, partially quoting Gone with the Wind's Rhett Butler. "I've been number one before, but if you don't finish that way it doesn't mean what people remember. It says at this point in the year we're doing alright."
The Seminoles (12-4, 0-2) were led by Al Thornton's game-high 29 points.
Carolina hosts Virginia (9-4, 1-0 ACC) Wednesday at 9 p.m.

SESSION TITLE: ICU Cases
SESSION TYPE: Affiliate Case Report Slide
PRESENTED ON: Sunday, October 27, 2013 at 01:15 PM - 02:45 PM
INTRODUCTION: The clinical manifestation of Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome (aka Asherman's syndrome) vary and challenging to diagnose due to acute onset of thrombosis resulting in multi-organ failure.
CASE PRESENTATION: A healthy sixteen year-old female patient presented with acute kidney failure, hypoxia, and vision changes. Several weeks prior, she had right-sided flank pain. At the local ED, an abdominal ultrasound was normal, so was diagnosed with constipation. The pain resolved on its own. During the following week, she developed a dry cough, odynophagia, malaise, fatigue, and painless blurry vision with erythema in her right eye. She was diagnosed with a viral URI at her local clinic. The following day, blurry vision progressed to involve both eyes. Returning to the ED, she was found to be diaphoretic, tachycardic to 150's bpm, and hypertensive to 180-200's/130's mmHg. She subsequently developed bradycardia and hypoxia to 70's requiring urgent intubation. Chest x-ray showed diffuse bilateral opacities. Labs revealed a Creatinine of 5 mg/dL. Echocardiogram indicated depressed EF of 30%. CT angiogram confirmed subacute to chronic thrombotic occlusion of the abdominal aorta from the superior mesenteric artery to the bifurcation of the renal arteries. Percutaneous biopsy of the kidney showed thrombotic microangiopathy, severe interstitial fibrosis, and tubular atrophy. This led to serology testing, which showed ANA titer 1:120 and the presence of anti-double stranded DNA and anti-phospholipid antibodies.
DISCUSSION: The rapid development of Stage III Acute Kidney Failure was secondary to decreased perfusion to kidneys, which likely developed over the course of several days to weeks. The CT angiogram showing extensive thrombosis of her aorta and kidney biopsy helped narrow the differential diagnosis, including Takayasu's arteritis (type III or IV), polyarteritis nodosa, TTP-HUS, and DIC. However, ultimately the diagnosis was SLE with Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome.
CONCLUSIONS: Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is characterized by fibrin thrombi in glomeruli and/or arterioles and has been the most frequently reported intrarenal vascular lesion in aPL-positive patients with or without lupus. In patients with these lesions, especially in those with SLE, aPL antibody testing is recommended.

You would think that an Associated Press story about the Congressional Budget Office's preliminary estimate of the federal government's full fiscal year results would include things like total federal collections and total spending during the year and how they compared to the previous year.
Don't be silly. If the AP let numbers that big -- and their direction -- get into its report, readers and listeners might start thinking that spending is outrageously high, and that increasing taxes to try to cover today's ridiculous levels of spending would crucify the economy. We can't have that, not when President Obama and Democrats are desperately pushing for taxes on "millionaires and billionaires" who earn $250,000 or more per year. What follows are excerpts from the writeup, followed by important and obvious facts AP chose not to report:
CBO estimates $1.3 trillion deficit for 2011
A government report released on Friday predicts that the federal budget hit a near-record $1.3 trillion in the just-completed fiscal year.
The figure matches last year's deficit tally but shows slight improvement over a record set two years ago.
The Congressional Budget Office analysis is in line with previous estimates but offers yet another reminder of the government's precarious fiscal position - just as a congressional supercommittee is working to produce at least $1.2 trillion in deficit savings over the coming decade.
The 2009 record deficit of $1.4 trillion was registered as the country struggled through a recession and was in the midst of the Wall St. bailout. Continuing weakness in the economy has kept tax revenues low. The revenue picture did improve in 2011 as individual income tax receipts rose 22 percent to $1.1 trillion, CBO estimated.
For the record, per the CBO:
- Total collections for the year amounted to $2.303 trillion, a $141 billion (6.5%) increase over the previous fiscal year.
- Total spending amounted to $3.600 trillion, a $144 billion (4.2%) increase over the previous fiscal year.
Thanks to the manipulation of reported losses in the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the figures for total spending are questionable (discussed further here). But even taking them at face value, the takeaways from fiscal 2011 are that the government:
- Kept spending more money, even though the end of the $800 billion, two-year stimulus program should have caused spending to decrease by about $400 million.
- Still collected far less than it did in fiscal 2007 and 2008, when both years showed collection of over $2.5 trillion. Some "recovery."
- Spent more than every extra dollar it collected.
The AP report also "forgot" to tell readers that the deficits of the past three years dwarf the deficits seen in previous years. Deficits in fiscal 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 combined totaled less just under $1.2 trillion -- not an acceptable result by any means, but less than each of the three fiscal years which have concluded during the Obama administration.
I also detect a bit of bar-lowering in this sentence:
It'll take major changes to the way the government does business - some combination of new revenues and major spending cuts - to get the deficit down to about 3 percent of GDP, the level that many analysts say is sustainable.
I'd like to meet the "analysts" who are saying this today.
Consistent, supposedly "sustainable" 3% deficits would still amount to $450 billion annually on a roughly $15 trillion gross domestic product. Perhaps that would be "sustainable" if the country were relatively debt-free and chose to go there every once in a long while. But that's not the situation. The government has run up $4 trillion in deficits during the past three fiscal years. Getting back to near breakeven -- and perhaps even getting into surplus -- is the kind of cure towards which the diseased patient known as the U.S. government needs to be striving.

My Therapist Dogged me…
>> Tuesday, November 30, 2010
I went twice and it was what you would expect, she asked questions that made me cry she told me I had to deal with these feelings. Whatever…I HATE feeling…why doesn't she just deal with it for me?? Just give me Peppermint mocha, a scone and round it off with a bag of chips, just let me eat my way to comfortably numb! Well guess that hasn't been working because now I'm just uncomfortably fat!
This is the deal, according to my Therapist, I have self-worth issues. DUH! Oh and I sabotage myself…and that's what I need to learn how to stop doing.
I freaked out before my third appointment with said Therapist, the one that wants me to learn self-worth. I started to panic all day not wanting to go, not wanting to talk…to talk about…well that's none of your damn business now is it. I sucked it up and went…and waited…and sat…and waited…and she never shows up! Hell good thing I'm not suicidal cause I might have just jumped out the window. Talk about teaching someone they are worth a lick…just not worth her time.
After an apology from the Therapist and another appointment I had to force myself to go to…she leaves me hanging again. Now I really think there must be something wrong with me… guess I'll just go eat worms. Or better yet a bag of chips. On the bright side I don't have to change my blog header.
P.S. If your feeling sorry for me please send food.
